Chapter 2794: Leverage

"Why use a new mirror?" Doakes asked curiously.

"The newly made mirror will not be connected to the Mirror Realm in a short period of time. And as far as I know, some of you have ways to enter the mirror and take things from the mirror." Erbao looked around everyone and judged through the details. , finally stopped at Angel: Is it still you?

Erbao's mood was a little complicated... Just as Angel initially perceived, members of the Dueye family, even the steady Gengar, actually have a sense of superiority in their behavior, and seem to feel that they are superior to others.

Erbao is also like Gengar. Because they rarely come into contact with humans, they have some prejudices against humans. It doesn't hate humans very much, but it doesn't look down upon them either.

But Angel's appearance made him suddenly discover that even among the younger generation of human beings, there are existences that are as dazzling as the sun. Even the second treasure must admit that Angel has some qualities and abilities that reach a level that is difficult for him to reach.

And he is still so young.

Erbao's thoughts wandered only in the blink of an eye. Soon, he calmed down his emotions and continued:

"In short, as long as the gray merchant's memory is placed in a newly made mirror, he can pull out the gray merchant's memory at any time. Otherwise, if it is placed outside, it will only dissipate in the wind."

To put it simply, the newly manufactured mirror is not immediately connected to the mirror domain. During this period, the space within the mirror exists independently of the mirror domain.

It is a relatively safe space inside the mirror. It will not be invaded by creatures in the mirror, nor will it encounter the danger of broken rules. The only drawback is that it is very fragile and cannot withstand any physical matter.

However, Gray Shang's memory is not considered material. If it is placed in this independent mirror space, there is no need to worry about danger. Angel can take it out at any time, which is equivalent to giving the gray merchant's memory a safe "home".

It is not difficult to make a new mirror, and it does not even need to be specially refined. Just take any reflective crystal and cut it directly to become a mirror.

Next, Gengar entered the mirror realm in the fragment, and Angel took out a round crystal, cut one side from the side, then polished it with silver powder for a while, and it became a new "mirror".

After making the mirror, Angel only needs to wait for Gengar to bring out Gray Merchant's memory.

While waiting, Angel looked at Erbao in the distance.

"You really don't need me to pick a name for you?"

Dumu Erbao sneered: "Just because I admire you doesn't mean you are qualified to point fingers at my name."

Angel shrugged: He didn't point fingers, he just gave them a step down... If they ask why the name was changed in the future, can't they all be blamed on himself?

However, it doesn’t matter if the other party doesn’t appreciate it.

Soon, Gengar locked onto Gray Shang's memory. After sending the signal, Angel put his hand into the broken lens.

Angel had also put his hand into this fragment before, but he didn't touch anything. But this time, he clearly felt that there was something extra in his palm.

It has no weight and no touch, just like air, but Angel is really sure that it exists.

Moreover, as its presence gradually increased, some pictures seemed to emerge in front of Angel's eyes.

The protagonists in the picture are all gray merchants. He stood silently in front of the newly burned ruins; he slumped on the ground, holding a female corpse wearing a mask in his arms; he sat under a pink velvet tree, leaning against a tombstone. Drinking heavily...

These images passed in a flash, but Angel could feel that with each loss, the gray merchant's mood gradually turned from full of enthusiasm to indifference.

At the same time, although his strength has not changed much, he is getting closer and closer to the path of true knowledge that all wizards have longed for.

Angel now somewhat understood why the gray merchant wanted to get back his memories so much, because these memories also meant walking with true knowledge.

However, the gray merchant who has regained his memory may no longer be so gentle and elegant...

In just a few seconds, Angel successfully transferred the gray merchant's memory to the newly made mirror.

Angel picked up the mirror and could clearly see that the outline previously in the fragment had been transferred to the newly made mirror.

The gray merchant's shadow stood quietly, as helpless and sad as every time he "lost".

"Other people's memories are only theirs. Don't try to have any emotions towards the people in your memory. It will only affect your judgment." Suddenly, Geng Gui's voice came to his ears.

Angel looked up and saw that Gengar had left the Mirror Realm and returned to reality at some point. At this moment, it was floating directly in front of him.

"This is what Lord Overlord said, and I think it should be useful to you." Gengar said seriously.

Angel smiled: "Thank you, it is indeed very useful."

Although Angel was not affected by Gray Merchant's memory, Gengar's reminder was not completely useless. Indulging in other people's memories and being affected by other people's emotions is the cheapest form of empathy. This kind of empathy has no other use except to move oneself.

Previously, the reason why Angel fell into deep thought was not because the gray merchant's memory was so touching, but because he was thinking about a question:

Is the path taken by gray merchants a path of ruthlessness or a path of loss?

It seems heartless, but it's actually just because of the losses along the way. Which one brings him closer to true knowledge?

If it was "lost", would it be good or bad for him to regain this memory?

It is precisely because Angel was stuck at this threshold that he fell into thinking because of these memories.

The road to true knowledge is like the awakening of the abyss demon, a kind of transformation. Although it is not as terrifying as the awakening of the demon in terms of increasing power, it lays the foundation for the future. Once you go wrong or it is not suitable for you, it will be difficult to turn back.

"The gray merchant's memory is handed over to you. Erbao and I will leave first... I hope you don't break the contract." Gengar floated to Erbao and slowly sank into the ground with Erbao.

"Wait a minute." Angel called them.

Gengar looked at Angel in confusion.

Angel: "I have another question. Do you know which time bodies your mother will send this time?"

This question is still quite important. If only one time body comes, it will be easy to deal with. If there are multiple time bodies, they may have to be more cautious.

Gengar glanced at the one-eyed Erbao, and seeing that the latter had no reaction, he said: "I don't know. But it shouldn't be Childish Heart."

In other words, it was either the Girlish Heart or the Motherly Heart, or both.

Angel nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Geng Gui didn't reply, and sank into the ground with Erbao.

After Gengar and Erbao left, Angel began to collect the external array on the ground, and at the same time thought about how to deal with it if the Girlish Heart Younu and the Motherly Heart Younu came at the same time.

After about half a minute, Angel finally collected the external array.

Watching Angell put the array plates into the space one by one, Dox said thoughtfully: "Have you ever thought about how to recover the array plates after using them to deal with the ghost slaves?"

Angel glanced at Dox and said casually: "Why do you want to recover them?"

Dox: "So you don't want them?"

Angel: "Do you think we have time to recover the array plates?"

Arranging the array plates can be very fast, but recovering the array plates requires resetting the energy nodes of the magic array, which will be much slower. Just like this time, he took half a minute to recover the array plates. When facing the ghost slaves, let alone half a minute, one or two seconds more may result in loss of personnel.

So, Angell definitely can't recover the array plates. This is not a luxury, it is a necessary expense.

Although Dox also understands this truth, he feels a pain in his flesh when he thinks of the value of these array plates.

"If you are interested in the array plates, I can teach you how to make them when you go to the Magic Island. Well... I just happen to be in need of an assistant." Angell said, touching his chin.

Dox's distressed expression disappeared in an instant. He was dull and wooden, disguising himself as a wooden man, unable to hear any sound from the outside world.

Although Angell could see that Dox was still very reluctant to follow him, he was at least much calmer than when he first shouted "freedom is priceless".

Angell did not stab Dox's heart again, but stood up, stretched a little, and then threw the slate in his hand back to the Black Earl.

Black Earl: "Don't you need it anymore?"

Angell nodded: "The veins recorded by the adults have helped me a lot, and it is also the main reason why I can successfully find the breakthrough point this time. However, it is not needed for the time being."

"A huge magic array like the underground waterway has a very strict structure and logic. Just like solving a problem, as long as you know a few necessary conditions and deduce the corresponding rules, it is not a difficult task."

It can be said that the slate is the anchor point, and the magic array is the changing problem surface. As long as the anchor point is fixed, no matter how the problem surface changes, you can eventually find the rules to solve it.

Of course, the "magic array" that Angel mentioned here does not refer to the magic array of the entire underground waterway, but refers to the energy nodes of the magic array.

Because his method of containing Geng Gui and Erbao only involves a part of the energy nodes of the magic array.

Black Earl: "Only you would say that."

It is not a difficult task for Angel, but for 99% of wizards, this is an almost insurmountable natural barrier.

Just like Black Earl, even if he can draw the so-called "ground veins", he is at a loss as to how to achieve his goals through these records.

Even now, Black Earl doesn't know how Angel did it?

Black Earl is not a person who is unwilling to ask questions for the sake of his face. Since he doesn't understand, he directly asks his doubts.

Angel was originally prepared to explain the principle to avoid panic when people really encounter ghost slaves. Now that Black Earl has brought it up, he also took this opportunity to tell his own method.

"The wise master said before that the engulfment of the ghost slave ignores all defenses. As long as you are in the range of being engulfed by it, no matter how strong you are, it will be useless. Just now, Geng Gui and Erbao cooperated with each other to simulate the engulfment of the ghost slave, proving this point."

When Angel said this, everyone thought of the previous situation. As long as they stood on the hole, they lost all their strength and energy could not be mobilized. They became completely slaughtered.

Even if the hole is only the size of a bowl, as long as part of their body steps on it, they will lose control of the whole body. It can be seen how powerful this so-called "engulfing" ability is.

How did Angel break such a powerful ability?

The answer is: borrowing force.

"Through the stone slab that Lord Black Count lent me, I saw the energy veins in the surrounding land. I discovered that no matter how strong the engulfing ability is, the energy veins of the surrounding land are still balanced as before and are not affected by it. This means that the engulfing ability is still not as strong as the suppression brought by the entire underground waterway magic array."

"In other words, this ability is unsolvable in the outside world without defense. But here, it is suppressed by the huge magic array."

"After reaching this conclusion, the method to crack the hole is very simple, just borrow the power."

Borrow whose power? Naturally, it is the power of the magic array.

Angel said it simply, but everyone knew that, as Lord Black had said before, only Angel himself thought it was simple. They just listened to the principle and then made an expression of sudden enlightenment, that's it.

As for really learning it? Impossible. They are still very self-aware.

"Through observation, I have determined that the underground caves opened by Geng Gui and Erbao, even though some places pass through the energy flow channels in the magic array, the number of such channels will not exceed a certain number..."

Because the magic array has spare energy channels, it is no problem for them to cut off a few.

"Perhaps three or five are the limit. If there are more, the blocking of energy channels will inevitably lead to backlash, and the entire magic array will be under pressure."

"Faced with the suppression of the entire magic array, the underground cave will inevitably be affected."

"And I only need to take over the energy veins of this area through the external array disk, and I can adjust the location of the energy flow at will. Once they appear, I only need to move a large amount of energy flow to the location of the underground cave to suppress the opening and closing of the underground cave."

"Before, their underground caves were difficult to open, in fact, they were suppressed by the magic array, which caused their abilities to be blocked."

After Angel finished explaining his method, everyone nodded repeatedly.

The method is indeed very simple, and Angel can explain it in a few words. But if they really want to complete it, then ten or a hundred of them combined will not be able to do it.

So, just listen to the principle.

After listening to Angell's narration, Dox asked curiously: "According to what you said, three or five is the limit, so how many energy veins did you mobilize to suppress their holes just now?"

"More than twenty." Angell paused: "In fact, more than twenty is just the capacity of two external array plates. With the number of array plates I just placed, I can actually mobilize more than a hundred energy veins."

The reason why not all of them were mobilized is because Angell was testing the lower limit of capacity. And preparing more array plates is just in case.

What's more, Gengar is Gengar, and Phantom is Phantom, the levels themselves are different, so there is no need to go all out.
