“只是直觉吗？”安格尔问道。
“Is it just intuition?” Angel asked.
多克斯理所当然的点点头：“当然，我的直觉你们难道不信？”
Doakes nodded as a matter of course: “Of course, don’t you believe my intuition?”
安格尔和卡艾尔沉默了，他们还真不敢不信多克斯的直觉。当初如果没有多克斯的直觉，他们光是在地下水道里就会迷路几百次吧……
Angel and Kael were silent, they really couldn’t believe Doakes’ intuition. If they didn’t have Doakes’ intuition, they would have lost their way hundreds of times just in the underground sewer…
安格尔想了想，再次问道：“那你观察到了什么吗？”
Angel thought for a while and asked again: “Then what did you observe?”
多克斯眼神闪烁了一下：“如果你不来找我们，我应该会观察到他身上的异样……”
Doakes’ eyes flickered for a moment: “If you don’t come to us, I should observe something strange on him…”
安格尔挑眉：“所以说,我破坏你的观察大计？”
Angel raised his eyebrows: “So, I sabotaged your observation plan?”
“是这样的。”多克斯下意识回道，不过，他话音刚落，便感觉到安格尔的眼神出现变化。
“That’s right.” Doakes replied subconsciously, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a change in Angor’s eyes.
“那我现在把你再送回去？”安格尔看着多克斯：“放心，我保证在他不会发现的情况，将你完完整整的送过去。”
“Then I’ll send you back now?” Angel looked at Doakes: “Don’t worry, I promise to send you there in one piece if he won’t find out.”
看着安格尔那不怀好意的眼神，多克斯立刻明白,这货没安好心！
Looking at Angel’s malicious eyes, Doakes immediately understood that this guy has no good intentions!
他赶紧道：“其实,也不是完全没有收获。”
He hurriedly said: “Actually, it’s not completely fruitless.”
安格尔：“噢？”
Anger: “Oh?”
多克斯沉吟了片刻道：“我发现,这个叫埃克斯的，可能喜欢男人。”
Dokes pondered for a moment and said: “I found out that this guy named Akers may like men.”
安格尔眉头皱起，一旁的卡艾尔也是满脸的惊疑。
Angel frowned, and Kael beside him was also full of surprise.
多克斯继续念念有词道：“我刚才的装束，是按照他的打扮风格特意变化的，结果那家伙从头到尾都没多看我一眼，这是什么意思？”
Doakes continued to mutter: “My outfit just now was specially changed according to his dressing style, but that guy didn’t look at me from the beginning to the end. What does this mean?”
安格尔没有回话，倒是旁边的卡艾尔低声喃喃：“说明埃克斯先生很正直。”
Angel did not reply, but Kael next to him murmured in a low voice: “It means that Mr. Akers is very upright.”
多克斯：“不，说明他不喜欢女人。”
Doakes: “No, it means he doesn’t like women.”
卡艾尔脑海里不自觉浮现出多克斯的女战士样貌，的确，木栅绳甲开道、兽皮短裙展露原始狂野的风格，配合那如点睛之笔的艳红长发，可谓野性十足、英姿飒爽。
Kael’s mind unconsciously recalled the appearance of Dox’s female warrior. Indeed, the wooden fence rope armor cleared the way, the animal skin skirt showed a primitive and wild style, and matched with the bright red long hair that was the finishing touch. Hair, can be described as full of wild, heroic.
这种打扮，按照正常人的理解，也的确很契合埃克斯那爆炸肌肉男的审美。
This kind of dress, according to the understanding of normal people, really fits the aesthetics of Ax’s explosive muscular man.
只是，符合别人审美，不一定就要做什么啊。
It’s just that you don’t necessarily have to do something to conform to other people’s aesthetics.
符合卡艾尔审美的女性更多，但他大部分时候也只是欣赏,而不会去搭讪。更不会在别人明显有事的时候搭讪,这不是给人造成麻烦吗。
There are more women who fit Kael’s aesthetics, but most of the time he just admires them instead of striking up a conversation. Not to mention chatting up other people when they obviously have something to do, isn’t that causing trouble to others?
埃克斯先生就是如此，他正保护着众人，结果你变成女人，还渴望别人来主动撩你，怎么可能啊。如今比伦树庭可是在遭灾，所有人都在遭受苦难的时候，你还以为是度假吗？
Mr. Akers is like this, he is protecting everyone, and you become a woman, and you still want others to take the initiative to tease you, how is that possible. Do you still think it’s a vacation when Bilon Tree Garden is in disaster and everyone is suffering?
反正，卡艾尔是不相信多克斯的结论。
Anyway, Kael doesn’t believe Doakes’ conclusion.
至于安格尔，对多克斯的结论只有一句话：“然后呢？”
As for Angel, there is only one sentence for Doakes’ conclusion: “And then?”
这不就是私人作风的问题么，且不说这个情报是真是假，就算是真的，你观察出来有什么意义呢？
Isn’t this a matter of personal style? Let alone whether the information is true or not, even if it is true, what’s the point of your observation?
至少，对于多克斯所说的“我的直觉告诉我，埃克斯肯定有问题”，没有什么关联。
At least, there’s no connection to what Doakes said, “My gut tells me there must be something wrong with Akers.”
多克斯想了想，道：“然后……就是，他保护我们,说不定就是囚禁人，想要发展禁脔。”
Doakes thought for a while, and said: “Then… that is, he protects us, maybe imprisoning people, and wants to develop the confinement.”
安格尔：“……所以他现在又喜欢女人了么？”
Angel: “…so he likes women again now?”
毕竟,多克斯之前的女战士形态，也在埃克斯的保护、或者说“囚禁”之内。
After all, Doakes’ previous female warrior form was also under the protection, or “imprisonment” of Akers.
安格尔看着多克斯，再次问道：“你主张，你就该举证。你说埃克斯有问题，那你就要证明他有问题。我相信你的直觉，但直觉也不可能是无凭而生的吧？”
Angel looked at Doakes and asked again: “You claim, you should prove it. If you say that Akers has a problem, then you have to prove that he has a problem. I believe your intuition, but intuition It can’t be born out of nothing, right?”
多克斯沉默了，他突然不知道该说什么了，的确，就目前埃克斯所展现出来的情况，他还真的无法说对方有错。
Doakes was silent, and he suddenly didn’t know what to say. Indeed, based on the current situation shown by Akers, he really couldn’t say that the other party was at fault.
救人、保护人、也不阻拦别人离开，而且，被保护的人里还有必洛斯家族的守卫，他们可以掌控议事院的魔能阵，随时可以在魔能阵上开个洞，不走正门也能离开。
Save people, protect people, and do not prevent others from leaving. Moreover, among the protected people are the guards of the Bilos family. They can control the magic circle of the council, and can open a hole in the magic circle at any time , you can leave without going through the main entrance.
所以，埃克斯如果没有解决必洛斯家族守卫的心，他的保护就是保护，而不是囚禁。
So, if Akers doesn’t have the heart to solve the guards of the Biros family, his protection is protection, not imprisonment.
而根据多克斯的观察，埃克斯还真没打算动必洛斯家族的守卫。
According to Doakes’ observation, Akers really didn’t intend to touch the guards of the Biros family.
多克斯：“你说的对，我的直觉的确不是无缘无故出来的。其实我还观察到了一件事，不过，这件事我现在还没想通……”
Doakes: “You’re right, my intuition did not come out for no reason. In fact, I also observed one thing, but I haven’t figured it out yet…”
多克斯话才说到一半，便有一阵巨响，从外面传来。
Just halfway through Doakes’ words, there was a loud noise coming from outside.
伴随着巨响，还有议事院建筑的微微摇动。
Accompanied by a loud noise, there was also a slight shaking of the building of the Senate.
要知道，议事院是在魔能阵保护下的，一般的地动也不会让议事院有摇晃之感。可现在，他们就算在议事院内，也感觉到了明显的摇晃，虽然不大，也说明了一些问题。
You must know that the chamber is protected by a magic circle, and general earthquakes will not make the chamber feel shaken. But now, even in the chamber, they felt obvious shaking. Although it was not big, it also explained some problems.
“波源是从斗技场的方向传来……应该是那只蓝色大猩猩造成的动静。”安格尔轻声道。
“The source of the wave came from the direction of the arena…it should be the movement caused by the blue gorilla.” Angel said softly.
“蓝色大猩猩？你原来不知道？”多克斯惊讶的看向安格尔，“我刚才听伱和埃克斯的问话，还以为你对他身份也有怀疑，是在诈他。结果你真的不知道。”
“The blue gorilla? You didn’t know?” Doakes looked at Angor in surprise, “I heard you and Akers’ questioning just now, and I thought you had doubts about his identity. Lie to him. You really don’t know.”
安格尔：“你的意思，你知道那只蓝色大猩猩是什么？”
Angel: “What do you mean, do you know what that blue gorilla is?”
多克斯点点头：“当然，那是浅海力士。”
Doakes nodded: “Of course, that is shallow sea Lux.”
“浅海力士……”安格尔低声重复了一遍，那堆砌在思绪杂冗处的记忆，被慢慢翻了上来：“这好像是源自荒蛮界的魔物？”
“Shallow Sea Lux…” Angel repeated in a low voice, and the memories piled up in his thoughts were slowly turned up: “This seems to be a monster from the barbaric world?”
多克斯：“没错，‘力士’在荒蛮界就指的是大猩猩类的生物，浅海力士的意思就是能在近海掀起巨浪的大猩猩。”
Doakes: “That’s right, in the barbaric world, ‘Wulks’ refers to gorilla-like creatures, and shallow-sea wrestlers mean gorillas that can create huge waves in the offshore.”
从其名字也可以知道，这只大猩猩力大无穷，且能在水里生存，拥有控水的属性。
From its name, it can also be known that this gorilla is extremely powerful, can survive in water, and has the property of controlling water.
以個体实力来说，浅海力士是相当强的。
In terms of individual strength, Qianhai Lux is quite strong.
不过，虽然说浅海力士源自蛮荒界，但并不意味着它们就全是异界魔物。
However, although it is said that shallow sea warriors originated from the wild world, it does not mean that they are all monsters from other worlds.
安格尔记得，在《神奇魔兽在哪里》中也记载了，浅海力士因为其优秀的个体实力，还有凭借那易于开发的血脉，在很早的时候，就被血脉侧巫师引进到了巫师界。经过一代代的培育，早已融入了巫师界。
Angel remembers that it is also recorded in “Where is the Magical Beast” that because of its excellent individual strength and its easy-to-develop bloodline, Qian Hailishi was introduced by the bloodline side wizard very early. To the wizarding world. After generations of cultivation, it has already integrated into the wizarding world.
哪怕是极端教派，对于原生地在巫师界的浅海力士，也不会过多追究。毕竟，浅海力士是被开发的很彻底的血脉，很多血脉侧巫师都会选择浅海力士的血脉融入己身，极端教派的血脉侧巫师也不免俗。对付浅海力士，不就是对付自己吗？
Even if it is an extreme sect, it will not pursue too much the shallow sea warriors who were originally from the wizarding world. After all, shallow sea warriors have a well-developed bloodline, and many wizards on the bloodline side will choose the bloodline of shallow sea warriors to integrate into their bodies, and bloodline wizards from extreme sects are not immune to it. Isn’t dealing with Qian Hailishi the same as dealing with himself?
所以，不能单纯的将浅海力士当成异界魔物。
Therefore, one cannot simply regard the shallow sea warrior as a monster from another world.
不过，安格尔之所以会提到“源自蛮荒界”，还是因为他在浅海力士的毛发上，感知到了铭文之力。
However, the reason why Angel mentioned “from the wild world” was because he felt the power of the inscription on the hair of the shallow sea warrior.
在安格尔的心念中，这只在比伦树庭肆虐的浅海力士，极有可能是从异界而来的。既然是异界的浅海力士，安格尔第一时间想到的自然是浅海力士的发源地——蛮荒界。
In Angel’s mind, this shallow sea wrestler wreaking havoc in the Bilon Grove is very likely to have come from another world. Since it is a shallow sea warrior from another world, Angel’s first thought is naturally the birthplace of the shallow sea warrior – the wild world.
“看你的样子，一路上没见到浅海力士？”多克斯问道。
“Looking at you, didn’t you see Shallow Sea Lux along the way?” Doakes asked.
安格尔点点头，他只看到脚印、毛，至于浅海力士……他连影子都没看到。
Angel nodded, he only saw footprints and fur, as for the shallow sea Lux… he didn’t even see a shadow.
多克斯眼里闪过一丝兴奋：“那，我们要不去斗技场那边看看？”
A hint of excitement flashed in Doakes’ eyes: “Then, shall we go to the Arena?”
安格尔：“你对浅海力士很感兴趣？”
Angel: “Are you interested in Qianhai Lux?”
多克斯没有否认：“是挺感兴趣的，这种巫师级的浅海力士，若是能提纯其血脉，价格不菲，至少五万魔晶起步！”
Doakes did not deny it: “I am very interested. If this kind of wizard-level shallow sea warrior can purify his blood, it will be expensive, at least 50,000 magic crystals to start!”
顿了顿，多克斯道：“如果当初不是为了观察埃克斯，我早就去追浅海力士了。”
Paused, Doakes said: “If it wasn’t for observing Akers, I would have gone after Qian Hynix a long time ago.”
安格尔满脸不信：“听你的口气，你一个人就能单挑浅海力士？”
Anger’s face was full of disbelief: “Listen to your tone, you can single-handedly challenge shallow sea wrestlers?”
“那倒没有。”多克斯很坦诚的：“不过，如果有其他巫师一起出手，还是有机会的。”
“That’s not true.” Doakes said frankly: “However, if there are other wizards to make a move together, there is still a chance.”
安格尔：“你看现在有巫师出手的样子？”
Angel: “Do you see that there are wizards making moves now?”
多克斯沉默了……的确，现在浅海力士还能造成如此大的动静，肯定没有巫师出手。不过这也正常，毕竟正式巫师也在你防我，我防你，想要一起对付浅海力士肯定不可能。而且，就算是多个巫师一起对付浅海力士，不出尽全力，估计也很难解决。
Doakes was silent… Indeed, now that the shallow sea Lux can still cause such a big commotion, there must be no wizard. But this is also normal. After all, official wizards are also defending you against me and I against you. It is definitely impossible to deal with shallow sea wrestlers together. Moreover, even if multiple wizards deal with Qian Hailishi together, it is estimated that it will be difficult to solve it without doing their best.
多克斯：“之前没有，但现在不是有了么，我们俩可以去试试。”
Doakes: “It wasn’t there before, but isn’t it now? We can try it.”
“试试就逝世。”安格尔可没有多克斯这么乐观，除非他摇人，否则想两个人就对付浅海力士可不容易。
“Try it and die.” Angel was not as optimistic as Doakes. Unless he shook people, it would not be easy for two people to deal with shallow sea wrestlers.
更何况，安格尔知道，浅海力士不是单独的一只魔物，它背后还有操控者。
What’s more, Angel knew that Shallow Sea Lux was not a single monster, and there was a manipulator behind it.
能操控浅海力士的，绝对不是普通巫师那么简单。
It is definitely not as simple as an ordinary wizard who can control shallow sea wrestlers.
多克斯：“我们可以先去看看，暂时不动手，如果有其他人解决，我们说不定能捡个便宜。”
Doakes: “We can go and have a look first, and don’t do it for now. If someone else solves it, we might be able to pick up a bargain.”
安格尔：“我猜，现在比伦树庭的巫师，都是你这种想法。”
Angel: “I guess, all the wizards in Bilon Grove are thinking like you.”
大家都想当黄雀，谁去当捕蝉的螳螂？
Everyone wants to be a weasel, who will be a praying mantis catching cicadas?
多克斯嘿嘿一笑，没有否认。他也知道大家可能都有这想法，但不妨碍他去看看，大不了谁也得不到好处……如果真有人上了，最后他也能靠着死皮赖脸去打点秋风。
Doakes chuckled without denying it. He also knew that everyone might have this idea, but it didn’t prevent him from going and taking a look. At worst, no one would get any benefits… If someone really fell for it, in the end, he would be able to fight the autumn wind by relying on his face.
安格尔想了想，最终也同意了多克斯的意见。不过，安格尔的想法是真的只是“看看”，不会动手。除非，真的有莫大的利益且能吸引到他，让他决定摇人，否则他只会当一个看客。
Angel thought about it, and finally agreed with Doakes. However, Angor’s idea is really just to “look at” and not to do anything. Unless there are really great interests that can attract him and make him decide to shake people, he will only be a spectator.
至于说这里面会不会存在莫大的利益？安格尔目前还看不到。
As for whether there will be great benefits in it? Angor can’t see it yet.
……
…
既然决定了去斗技场看看情况，安格尔和多克斯便没有再停留的打算，飞快的离开了议事院。
Since they decided to go to the arena to see the situation, Angel and Doakes had no intention of staying any longer, and left the council quickly.
离开议事院后，安格尔本想让卡艾尔先回繁星街区，但想到袭击者来自繁星街区，那里也不见得真的安全，想了想，还是让卡艾尔跟着他们。如果真遇到危险，大不了让卡艾尔进手镯里先暂时待一段时间。
After leaving the council, Angel originally wanted Kael to go back to the Starry District first, but thinking that the attackers came from the Starry District, it might not be really safe there, so after thinking about it, he let Kael follow them. If it is really dangerous, at worst let Kael into the bracelet and stay there for a while.
做出决定后，众人便朝着斗技场的方向走去。
After making a decision, everyone walked towards the arena.
一边走，安格尔也没忘记询问多克斯之前未尽之言。
While walking, Angel did not forget to ask Doakes what he had not said before.
“你刚才说，在埃克斯身上还观察到了一件事，这才让你直觉生疑，是什么事？”
“You just said that there was another thing observed on Akers, which made you suspicious intuitively. What is it?”
卡艾尔也好奇的看向多克斯，他虽然一直跟着多克斯，但多克斯在遇到埃克斯后的种种行为，他都没有看懂。
Kael also looked at Doakes curiously. Although he had been following Doakes all the time, he didn’t understand the various behaviors of Doakes after meeting Akers.
总感觉多克斯好像很在意埃克斯，但埃克斯身上有什么吸引着多克斯，卡艾尔实在看不出来。
I always feel that Doakes seems to care about Akers, but Kael really can’t see what attracts Doakes in Akers.
多克斯没有立刻回答，反倒是回过身对安格尔问道：“你觉得埃克斯有问题吗？……你应该和我一样吧，也觉得埃克斯有问题？要不然，你不会在最后时刻，突然问埃克斯对这场袭击的看法。”
Doakes did not answer immediately, but turned around and asked Angel: “Do you think there is a problem with Akers?… You should be the same as me, and you also think there is a problem with Akers? Otherwise, you wouldn’t suddenly ask Akers what he thought of the attack at the last moment.”
安格尔：“埃克斯可能的确隐瞒了一些事。但我觉得，卡艾尔说的也没错，至少埃克斯看上去是个好人。”
Angel: “Ax may indeed have concealed something. But I think Kael is right, at least Ax seems to be a good person.”
“我看上去还是好人呢。”多克斯嘀咕道。
“I still look like a good guy,” Doakes muttered.
安格尔：“你意思是，私下你不是个好人？”
Angel: “You mean, you are not a good person in private?”
多克斯：“……好人坏人的定义哪有那么简单。”
Doakes: “…the definition of a good guy and a bad guy is not that simple.”
安格尔耸耸肩：“所以我才说，他‘看上去’是个好人，起码，在救人和保护人这两件事上，他没做错。”
Angel shrugged: “That’s why I said that he’looks’ like a good man. At least, he did nothing wrong in saving and protecting people.”
安格尔从埃克斯的情绪里也感知到，他的确是诚心要救人，保护人也是一番赤诚。
Angel also felt from Akers’ emotions that he was indeed sincere in saving people, and he was also sincere in protecting people.
不过，要说埃克斯没有问题……安格尔也不信。
However, if there is no problem with Akers… Angel doesn’t believe it either.
因为在安格尔询问的问题上，埃克斯撒谎了。
Because Akers lied about the question Angor asked.
这意味着埃克斯其实是知道袭击的一些内幕，甚至有可能，埃克斯和袭击者还有关系。
This means that Akers actually knows some inside information about the attack, and it is even possible that Akers has a relationship with the attacker.
所以，埃克斯可能是个好人，但不是一个“纯粹”的好人。
So, Akers may be a good guy, but not a “purely” nice guy.
多克斯倒是没想到安格尔内心还有这么多弯弯绕绕，他只是觉得安格尔的回答一如既往的取巧……模棱两可。
Doakes didn’t expect that Angor still had so many twists and turns in his heart. He just felt that Angor’s answer was as tricky as ever… ambiguous.
多克斯：“救人和保护人这两件事上，我的确不明白他为什么这么做。但我依旧觉得，他身上有问题，而且，问题很大很大。”
Doakes: “In terms of saving and protecting people, I really don’t understand why he did this. But I still feel that there is a problem with him, and the problem is very big.”
“什么问题？”安格尔：“或者说，你直觉的来由是什么？”
“What’s the problem?” Angel: “Or, what is the source of your intuition?”
多克斯这回没有再绕弯子，低声开口：“因为……他会连斩。”
Dokes didn’t make any more detours this time, and said in a low voice, “Because…he can chop.”
……
…
与此同时，在议事院的地下深处。
At the same time, deep underground in the Senate.
于走廊里游弋巡逻的埃克斯，突然停了下来。
X, who was patrolling the corridor, suddenly stopped.
埃克斯皱着眉，看向墙壁上的昏黄油灯。灯芯里的火焰，正在有规律的晃动着；而罩在外面的玻璃灯罩，却是慢慢冰裂开了一条细缝。
Ax frowned, looking at the dim butter lamp on the wall. The flame in the wick is shaking regularly; while the glass lampshade covering the outside is slowly cracking a thin crack.
“地震？”埃克斯看着那条冰裂的缝，低声喃喃：“不对！是从斗技场那边传来的……是奥哈多动手了？”
“Earthquake?” Akers looked at the crack in the ice and murmured in a low voice: “No! It came from the arena… Did Ohado do it?”
埃克斯脑海里浮现出了一个巨大的蓝色猩猩模样~Soverse.com~他的眉头微微蹙起，整个人陷入了沉思之中。
A gigantic blue orangutan appeared in Akers’ mind~Soverse.com~ His brows were slightly frowned, and he was lost in thought.
最终，他的沉思被一道清脆的“哗啦”声打破。
Finally, his contemplation was broken by a crisp “crash”.
是油灯的灯罩碎了。
The shade of the oil lamp is broken.
埃克斯晃过神后，轻声道：“奥哈多应该不会有事……毕竟有他们在。我还要在这里保护这群弱小者，不能离开。”
After shaking his head, Akers said softly: “Ohado should be fine… After all, they are here. I still want to protect these weak people here, and I can’t leave.”
埃克斯一边低声自喃，一边继续向前走，似乎还继续在地下廊道巡弋。
Ax murmured to himself while continuing to move forward, as if he was still cruising the underground corridor.
但走了没几步，埃克斯突然转过头，看向地面碎成渣滓的玻璃，内心莫名生出一丝惶恐。
But after walking a few steps, Akers suddenly turned his head and looked at the broken glass on the ground, feeling an inexplicable panic in his heart.
“有必洛斯家族的人在，那群弱小者待在这里，应该不会有事。我，我……我还是去看看奥哈多，它不能出事。”
“There are people from the Bilos family, those weak people stay here, it should be fine. I, I… I’ll go and see Ohado, it can’t be an accident.”
埃克斯下意识的捏了捏拳头，紧接着深吸了一口气，朝着走廊的尽头走去。
Ax squeezed his fist subconsciously, then took a deep breath, and walked towards the end of the corridor.
