Chapter 2778 The Two Sides of the Shepherd God
After hearing the silver-haired girl's words, everyone realized that she was not going to attack them, but was preparing to... clear up the misunderstanding?
This kind of behavior is actually more confusing for them than taking action directly.
Angel's words were already so sharp, but he was not angry yet. Instead, he took the initiative to give in. This was very different from what they had imagined before.
Before that, the silver-haired girl showed a cold, impatient, and indifferent appearance.
Therefore, they did not think that such a cold-tempered silver-haired girl would compromise with them. But the reality was completely opposite to what they imagined. The silver-haired girl was not angered by Angel.
Her current performance has caused new changes in everyone's evaluation of her character.
Whether she really means well or is fake, at least she hasn't shown any malice yet, so... maybe we can communicate further.
Everyone put down their guard and looked at each other. No one spoke, but they all understood the meaning in their eyes.
Focus first on communication, especially on gathering more information. And who came to communicate as a representative, Doakes wanted Angel to come on.
Doakes's idea is also very simple. How was he treated by the silver-haired girl before? Everyone can see it. The silver-haired girl was not happy to see him and looked at him many times.
Therefore, Doakes will definitely not be able to play.
Among the others, the two apprentices did not consider it for the time being. The issues they thought of were not necessarily comprehensive. The best thing is for the Black Earl to communicate with Angel. If the Black Earl wants to come, he has already spoken. Since he has not spoken, he should also support Angel as a link of communication.
Angel actually wanted to refuse, because what he said before was too harsh, and he thought there was no way out.
But Angel raised his head and found that the silver-haired girl in the prism was still staring at him.
It was as if other people didn't exist in her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Angel knew that he would definitely not be able to escape. He sighed secretly in his heart and said, "Well...since the bond has been severed, let's consider it even. How about it?"
The prerequisite for equality is that both parties have harmed or benefited the other party. Angel's word here is not appropriate.
However, the silver-haired girl in the mirror was not the kind of person who digs deep into words. She nodded gently: "Okay."
Angel was a little embarrassed when he spoke before, not knowing what to say, but he quickly found his rhythm: "So, you still hope to get the so-called answer from me? Huh? Laplace Graipnir. Miss Luigi?”
Silver-haired girl: "You can call me, Laplace."
"Oh?" Angel narrowed his eyes and subconsciously thought about why she only asked them to call Laplace. Didn't he have two temporal incarnations?
Perhaps seeing Angel's doubts, the silver-haired girl said calmly: "Laplace is a time body completely condensed from my memory, while the other two time bodies incorporate part of the floating memories in the distant sea. "
"They are me and they are not me."
The silver-haired girl... or Laplace, her words sounded vague, but she revealed some very interesting information.
According to her, the current body is herself condensed from memories of different time periods.
But according to this statement, a problem arises. This problem lies with the bard "Luigi". Luigi is undoubtedly a male. If Luigi was condensed at a certain stage of her life, does that mean she had different genders at different times?
Although this question is not big, it is indeed something they are curious about. Now, this doubt has been partially answered. This time body not only contains her own memory, but also the so-called "memory floating in the distant sea." Perhaps the reason why Luigi takes on a male appearance is due to the influence of memories that are not her own.
Then again, the silver-haired girl's real memory is that of Laplace, the bunny girl. Does this mean that she is actually more of a child in nature?
"I seem to have heard of the distant sea more than once. Including your body, you are also in the distant sea?" Angel did not ask further, but the meaning was already obvious. He was asking: What is the distant sea.
In order to prevent the other party from thinking that "they are going to the distant sea to find her true form," Angel asked tactfully.
"An invisible sea that connects countless mirror worlds. You seem to call it...the Sea of Empty Mirrors." When Laplace explained this, he found that the eyes of everyone on the opposite side were full of curiosity, and he hesitated for a moment. He added: "The Sea of Empty Mirrors is not a paradise. The emotions and memories of all living people will be washed away there, until even consciousness disappears. This belongs to the rules of the Sea of Empty Mirrors."
Laplace stopped talking, but everyone understood what she meant, which was to warn them not to step into the Sea of Empty Mirrors.
As for whether these words had any effect, Laplace didn't care. She didn't need to remind her of these things, just because she was a little concerned about the strange boy outside the mirror. This long-lost emotion made her willing to say a few more words.
After talking about the dangers of the Sea of Empty Mirrors, Laplace returned to the topic: "The question you asked me just now, my answer remains the same. I hope to know the answer."
Looking at Laplace's solemn look, Angel thought for a while: "So, you still only have words to exchange for?"
Laplace lowered his eyebrows: "My body is still sleeping. All I can do is analyze the reflection of the heart that is projected in."
The words are very euphemistic, but what they actually express is: I am poor and have nothing but gifts.
Angel thought for a moment: "If it's just a gift, I'm not willing to make this exchange."
Hearing this, Laplace's eyes dimmed slightly. However, Angel's words in the next second made her eyes light up again.
"If you can answer a few questions for me above this, I will pick an 'answer' and tell you." Angel: "But whether this answer is the real answer, I don't know, it's up to you to judge. I All I can say is that it’s on my mind.”
Angel emphasizes "one" answer. Among the many possibilities he had just thought of, there was indeed one that could be mentioned.
If it was used for information exchange, Angel believed that he would not suffer any loss.
Laplace actually wanted to know all the answers, but she also knew that this would be equivalent to asking the other party to reveal their cards to her, which was unrealistic.
After thinking for a while, Laplace nodded: "Okay."
Angel: "Don't you even care about the scope of the questions I asked?"
Laplace said calmly: "What you hope to know will not exceed your knowledge."
Her meaning is also very clear. Angel's cognition is different from hers, just like a young child asking an adult a question. A young child's questions cannot escape the framework of what he has seen and heard, and these frameworks cannot It may be beyond the cognitive scope of adults.
Even though Laplace didn't mean anything else, it was still a kind of intellectual ridicule.
After Laplace finished speaking, Angel heard Doakes' suppressed laughter behind him.
"You have today too..." Doakes just snickered and continued to mock in the psychic belt.
Angel was silent for a moment, and also replied in the psychic belt: "I originally wanted to see if you had any questions for me to ask, but now that I think about it, I'd better do it myself."
Ignoring Doakes's wails from the psychic belt, Angel said to himself, "Should I ask first?"
Laplace: "Okay."
Angel thought for a while and asked the first question: "What are you?"
This question sounds simple, but in fact it covers a very wide range, and there is a lot of room for loopback and manipulation.
"If you want to ask about my race, you may be disappointed." Laplace: "I don't have a race, nor are there races in your human imagination. If you must make a generalization, you can be like a wise man Likewise, classify me as a creature born in a mirror.”
This answer also proves that Laplace is indeed not a human being. Her humanoid form may be just a projection to facilitate communication.
"None of the creatures born in the mirror have a tribe? Is the same true for Younu?"
Laplace thought for a while: "I am an exception."
Seeing Angel raise his eyebrows, Laplace seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask, and said first: "Exception does not mean special. The ecology of the creatures in the mirror is different from the outside world."
Angel: "The ecology of the creatures inside the mirror?"
Laplace: "This question is not for me to answer. If you want to know, you need to see it for yourself... However, I do not recommend that living people enter the mirror."
Angel: "Because of the Sea of Empty Mirrors?"
"The sea of empty mirrors is just one reason. If there is no way to guide and locate, you will quickly lose your way when you enter the world inside the mirror."
Previously, the wise master also mentioned that it is easy to get lost in the mirror world, but Angel still has a question about this: "Can't we break through the void?"
In his opinion, if he could use planes to block the way, getting lost wouldn't be a big deal.
Laplace: "Only a small part of the world inside the mirror is relatively stable. The vast majority of places are unstable and may be broken at any time. At least I have never seen anyone dare to use space in the world inside the mirror. Ability like this will only speed up the shattering of the mirror and make you completely lost.”
Angel: "There is no way to use space capabilities in the mirror world, so how can we quickly transfer?"
"The mirror is the passage." When Laplace said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Angel gently.
She didn't say anything, but Angel read a meaning from her eyes.
So, do you understand now that the questions you asked are not beyond your cognition, let alone my limits.
Angel was silent for a moment, then changed the question: "These two masks made of old stone... you just said they are called the double faces of the Shepherd? Can you introduce them?"
There are two things Angel is most curious about about these two masks: First, whose memory is stored in the mask? Second, why is it called the two sides of the faun.
There is no need to explain the first question, but the focus of the second question lies in the "goddess of fauns".
In the Southern Territory, as long as you are a transcendent person, when you mention "Mu Shen", the first thing that comes to mind is the mysterious Mu Shen family.
The most famous thing about the Mu God family is the Mu God costume.
The "girl in divine clothing" that Angel met in the Purification Garden was from the family of fauns, and the clothes she wore were the famous fauns' coats.
Through the Shepherd's Coat, Kafulian can transform into countless forms, including fighting postures, defensive postures, and attack postures. Each posture has a corresponding outfit, and there are more than one set. For example, Angel saw several attack postures, including Death Clothes, Spacetime Witch Clothes, Valkyrie Armor, Wasp Queen Clothes, etc.
Each set of clothes has special abilities. These abilities are already extremely powerful at present.
When Kafulian becomes a formal wizard, the amplification effect of these clothes will be further enhanced. It can even be said that as long as Kafulian is promoted to a formal wizard, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most almighty person under the true knowledge. Some abilities even exceed the true knowledge wizard.
And the Shepherd's coat is just one of the Shepherd's divine clothes.
However, it is said that only the coat of the Shepherd's divine clothes remains in the South Region, and the other parts have been taken to the source world by the Shepherd.
But whether the other parts of the divine clothes are in the South Region or not, the coat exposed by Kafulian now is already amazing.
It is for this reason that Angel has also paid attention to the Shepherd's divine clothes. When he heard Laplace say that these two masks were called "the two faces of the Shepherd", he immediately guessed whether these would be parts of the Shepherd's divine clothes?
Not to mention Angel, everyone present knew the Shepherd's divine clothes. So, when they heard Angel ask this question, they all pricked up their ears curiously.
Dox was particularly concerned. If this is really one of the shepherd's divine armor, its value... is absolutely amazing!
However, as Laplace told the story, Dox's eyes gradually dimmed.
According to Laplace, she found these two overlapping masks in the Sea of Mirrors. When she found the masks, most of the memories inside had been washed away.
After reading the few remaining memories, she learned their name, called "The Two Faces of the Shepherd".
And now the memories in the masks are the broken memories that Laplace casually poured in from the Sea of Mirrors...
As for why she poured memories into the masks, it was because she found very stubborn "shadows" deep in the masks. These shadows seemed to be memories, but they were not affected by the Sea of Mirrors, and Laplace could not read them.
She wanted to crack the secrets in the shadows, so she used various methods, and pouring memories back was one of them.
She wanted to use the pouring memories to flush out the stubborn shadows inside. As long as the shadows floated in the Sea of Mirrors, she could find a way to read them.
However... there was no effect.
In addition to regurgitating memories, she also tried to break the mask. The reason why the male-looking mask was broken was because of Laplace.
It still didn't work.
Later, as time passed, Laplace's curiosity about the shadow gradually faded. However, the mask was a rare entity in the mirror world, so she didn't throw it away casually, but used the mask as a medium to perform "Edge Bridge".
This is the whole story.
