Chapter 2867 Sky Corridor
"This fork in the road leads to the Sea of Empty Mirrors."
"The reason for building this fork in the road is that we want to salvage the... hollow people floating downstream."
As Geng Gui explained, Angel understood the reason.
Generally speaking, the tidal disasters in the Sea of Empty Mirrors often come out of nowhere. No one knows when it will appear, where it will appear, and in which direction it will flow?
However, since there are regular situations, there will also be special situations.
The Sea of Empty Mirrors at the edge of the Mirror Domain is the most special place for tidal disasters.
Its special feature is that no matter where the tidal disaster occurs at the edge of the Mirror Domain, it will have a common direction of flow, that is - the inner circle of the Mirror Domain.
And the location reached by this fork in the road is the only way to the inner circle of the Mirror Domain.
In the past, when Idanis dealt with the Noah clan, they were directly thrown to the outer periphery of the Sea of Empty Mirrors. The location was random, but in the end, the hollow people would pass through here.
In the past, although they could salvage the hollow people, it took a long time because they needed to look for them deliberately.
Even if they knew the only way for the hollow people here, they still needed to retreat when the tidal disaster appeared. They would come back in after the tidal disaster receded.
At this time, they had no way to determine whether the hollow people were on the periphery or rushed into the inner circle by the tidal disaster.
Later, at the suggestion of Erbao, this fork in the road was built, and special "eyes" refined by the wise master were set up at multiple locations on the fork in the road. Once the hollow people appeared, the "eyes" would lock on the hollow people.
In this way, they don't have to go out of their way to find the hollow people.
As long as the "eye" prompts them, they can immediately enter the mirror area to find them.
Even if there is a tidal disaster that prevents them from entering for a while, the "eye" can lock on the hollow people for a certain period of time to prevent the hollow people from being completely lost.
Of course, the wise master did not refine this "eye" specifically for the hollow people.
Although he arranged a place for each hollow person, he did not regard the hollow people as a big deal. The main function of this "eye" is still to record, analyze and find.
Recording and analysis are easier to understand. In summary, it is the research of the Sea of Mirrors by the Wise Lord.
And searching is that the Wise Lord hopes to find some special things in the Sea of Mirrors by using the "eye".
This kind of thing may be a hollow man, an item that flows in from reality, or a secret treasure born in the Sea of Mirrors.
Let's not talk about the hollow man for now. The other two, whether it is an item that flows in from reality or a secret treasure of the Sea of Mirrors, as long as it can exist in the Sea of Mirrors, it is definitely not simple.
To put it bluntly, it is to wait for the rabbit.
It is not difficult to build this fork in the road, but the harvest is very rich, so this is also the reason why Erbao proposed it, and the Wise Lord also agreed to build the fork in the road.
After listening to Geng Gui's story, Angel also wanted to go down to see it.
However, he was not here to study the Sea of Mirrors, nor to "pick up leaks", but just wanted to see the "eye" refined by the Wise Lord.
How did the "Eye" refined by the Master of Wisdom sense across the world? Also, in the tidal disaster of the Sea of Mirrors, the Hollow Man could be locked for a period of time, which made Angel very curious. What is the material of this "Eye"?
Could it be Old Stone?
Although he was curious, Angel finally didn't say it. After all, Geng Gui couldn't make the decision to study the "Eye", and he still needed the approval of the Master of Wisdom.
Moreover, he cared more about the Sweet Dream than the Eye on the fork in the road.
…
Continue to move forward, there were no other forks along the way. Not long after, they saw the end of the sky corridor.
Angel thought that the end of the corridor would be another mirror space shrouded in fog, but to his surprise, at the end of the corridor stood an arch composed of vines and gorgeous flowers.
The arch did not have a "door panel", but there were hanging green silk ribbons as door curtains.
Behind the arch was the void, nothing. But looking from the front into the door curtain, you can see bright light.
This light is softer and less dazzling than the light of the gas lamp in the previous Geng Gui space, just like real natural light.
The light shines through the door curtain, casting a green silk shadow on the sky corridor.
As Angel approaches the arch, the fragrance of the gorgeous flowers on the vines also drifts over, and with the swaying shadows on the ground, there is a feeling of faint fragrance and sparse shadows.
However, although the bright light behind can be seen through the door curtain, what it looks like inside cannot be seen at all.
But from these known details, it can be basically confirmed that there is a space behind this wooden arch.
It should be a special space for sweet dreams.
At this time, Gengar also stopped and said to Angel: "Inside is the Lost Paradise where the sweet dream is."
"Lost Paradise? Is this the name given by the wise master?"
Geng Gui was about to answer, but heard a faint voice coming from the arch: "No, the name Lost Paradise was given by me."
As the voice fell, a figure floated out from the arch.
Yes, it "floated" out.
Angel didn't know the specific reason why it was floating, but looking at the visitor's long silver hair that was already longer than his height, Angel secretly guessed that maybe he wanted to prevent his silver hair from dragging to the ground, so he walked with it floating.
"We meet again." A cold voice came from the stranger's mouth.
Angel looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him, bowed slightly, and performed a breast-stroking salute: "Yes, I didn't expect to meet again so soon, Ms. Laplace."
The person who came was none other than Laplace, who had given everyone a gift not long ago.
Angel had heard Gengar say before that Laplace promised to follow his breath and come to see him. Angel thought he would wait for a while before Laplace arrived.
Unexpectedly, Laplace came earlier than him, and even entered the "Lost Paradise".
Laplace was floating in the air, looking down at Angel condescendingly. There was no emotion in his heterochromatic eyes: "Paradise Lost is a name I found in a mirror memory. What, do you have any objections to this name?" "
Angel: "No objection."
When he heard the name Paradise Lost, he subconsciously felt that it didn't seem like the style that a wise master would adopt, so he asked about it. There was no other meaning.
However, Laplace seemed to be very concerned about Paradise Lost. After Angel made it clear that he had no objection to the name, he continued to ask: "Have you ever heard of Paradise Lost?"
Angel glanced at Laplace in confusion: Is there any secret in this lost paradise?
"No, this is also the first time I've heard of Paradise Lost."
Laplace stared at Angel closely. After a few seconds, he slowly lowered his eyebrows and did not mention the matter of Lost Paradise again.
At this time, Gengar said: "Sir, do you want to enter the Lost Paradise now?"
Angel was about to answer, but he noticed that Geng Gui's expression was a little strange. He had clearly been chatting with him before, but now Geng Gui buried his head very low and was secretly leaning back.
He looked very afraid of Laplace.
Even when he asked Angel if he wanted to enter the Lost Paradise, he looked like he was in a hurry to complete the task as soon as possible, which was completely different from the previous unhurried manner.
Did Lapras do something to Gengar before? That's why it's so afraid of Laplace?
Angel didn't ask, but looked at Gengar's head that was almost buried in his chest and said slightly unbearably: "Okay, let's go in now."
Gengar quickly answered: "Okay, sir, you just need to take out the key, and I will..."
Before Gengar could finish speaking, Laplace said calmly: "No, I'll just take him in."
Paradise Lost itself is solidified by Laplace, and she can enter and exit it even without a key.
Gengar: "But..."
Laplace turned to look at Gengar and whispered: "If you want, you can go in with us."
Geng Gui quickly waved his hand and took a few steps back: "I, I'll just wait outside. I won't go."
Looking at Gengar's cowardice, Angel was convinced that it was indeed afraid of Laplace... No, it might not be accurate to say it was afraid. If Gengar was really afraid of Laplace, the wise master would not arrange it. He went to find Laplace.
It should be... fear and awe.
Although Angel was quite curious about why Gengar was afraid of Laplace, was it because of Laplace's special identity, or was it because he was naturally suppressed by Laplace, the son of the Mirror Realm? No matter what the reason was, it was impossible for Angel to ask Gengar in front of Laplace.
Therefore, we can only give up.
He nodded to Gengar, then saluted Laplace and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Ms. Laplace."
Laplace said nothing and directly controlled a strand of silver hair. Tie one end of the silver hair to Angel's arm.
Immediately afterwards, a pulling force came from the silver hair.
Angel didn't resist, and followed the pull and jumped into the wooden arch.
The moment he entered the door, Laplace's silver hair automatically turned into a protective shield with shining silver light, protecting Angel from the oppressive space force around him.
The silver protective shield lasted for about ten seconds. When the protective shield disappeared, Angel had arrived at a dreamy garden full of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.
The reason why it is called "dream" is because everything in front of you is so beautiful that it seems unreal.
Here, the wind has color. The forest green wind brings vitality. Wherever it goes, thousands of trees return to spring, and the earth blooms with flowers, bringing with it a strong fragrance full of the meaning of the newborn sun.
The faint purple wind brought splendid beauty. As long as there were flowers wherever it passed, the petals were like the lotus of Buddha's anger. Each petal was carried by the purple wind and wandered with the purple wind.
A purple breeze blew in front of Angel, causing countless petals to fall like rain.
The petals fell to the ground and sank into the earth. When the green wind comes again, they will break out of the ground again.
The green wind and the purple wind are like a cycle of birth and death. But it doesn't look cruel at all, just like a whitewashed fairy tale, incredibly dreamy.
In addition to these, there are other colors of wind here.
The milky white wind carries a little bit of rain and dew; the beige wind is a "flying carpet" for birds; and the pale pink wind is a hotbed for giant trees.
It can be said that this is the first time Angel has seen such a colorful and dreamy wind.
However, are these colored winds really winds? There should be other forces mixed inside them, right?
Angel wanted to feel it, but Laplace was nearby and felt a little embarrassed.
After thinking for a moment, Angel looked at Laplace: "Ms. Laplace, I have an unwelcome request."
Laplace still did not land at this time, but her silver hair seemed to be woven into a throne, allowing her to float in the air in a sitting position.
Hearing Angel's question, Laplace said lightly: "You asked Erbao to call me here, didn't you want to ask me for help? No matter what you want me to do for you, since I'm here, you might as well say it directly. There is no need to use such euphemisms. I don't like this set of human beings."
Laplace's answer seemed to express his willingness to help Angel. But Angel believed that Laplace would not help for free.
Maybe she had other purposes? Did she want to get other answers to the original question from him?
Laplace saw Angel's unconcealed expression.
How could she not understand Angel's thoughts? She said calmly, "It's true that I can't help you for free. But I haven't figured out what I want you to give me in return. After all, I don't even know what you're going to do."
"I'll keep in mind every question and every request you have. The accumulation of these will eventually determine what you need to give back."
"At the same time, in this process, if I have questions or requests, and you answer my questions and respond to my requests, I'll also keep them in mind. Including your answer to my questions outside before, I also kept them in mind."
"If I judge that your contribution is greater than mine, I will compensate you instead of asking you to give back."
To put it simply, it's still an equal transaction.
It's just that there's no way to judge what will be given back or compensated in the end, because both parties actually have questions and requests.
However, with the premise of this "transaction", Angel is much more confident.
With confidence, there's no more anxiety.
Angel didn't express it in a roundabout way this time, but directly stated his request: "Madam, you should know that I have a follower of a wind creature. I put it in my bracelet now. I want to release it. Is it okay?"
Angel was talking about the Speed Spirit.
The wind here is very strange, and Angel is a little curious about it. However, it may take a lot of time for him to study it himself.
But it's different with the Speed Spirit. It is a wind creature itself, and it should be much faster than him to figure out the truth of the wind here.
"Okay." Laplace didn't say much, but nodded in agreement.
Although Laplace agreed, Angel didn't release the Speed Spirit immediately, but stared at Laplace, wanting to see if Laplace would have any questions or requests?
However, Laplace shook his head: "You don't need to ask me about such irrelevant questions. Since the wise master let you in, and let you bring it..."
Laplace pointed to Dangros on Angel's shoulder.
"That means he agreed to let you bring elemental creatures in. Since he agreed, I naturally can't refuse."
"This will not be counted in your request."
"Even if it really counts as a request, I don't have anything to ask you at this time. You don't need to pursue an absolute one-to-one answer."
