Chapter 2872 The Newborn Will Eventually Become King

Looking at the hidden door that slowly opened, Angel couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes.

You know, the first time he entered this tree house, he used his mental power to check the surrounding layout, and there was no trace of anything extraordinary.

There are no mechanisms or magic patterns.

But what was before him now, whether it was the self-luminous bird that used itself as a lamp, or the hidden door that led to nowhere, all showed that this place was not as ordinary as it seemed on the surface.

But why couldn't he detect anything strange here before?

"You don't need to be surprised. When the wise man came here for the first time, he didn't find the mechanism here." Laplace said softly: "If I didn't control this space and asked me to find it, I wouldn't know where the mechanism is. "

Angel hesitated for a moment: "You haven't even noticed it. Could it be that... this mechanism is actually moving?"

Laplace was stunned for a moment and looked at Angel with interest: "How did you guess that the mechanism was moving?"

Angel: "There was no trace of the mechanism before. Either the mechanism was not found due to lack of strength, or the mechanism was not here in the first place."

"Since even the wise master didn't find the mechanism when he first came, then the only answer is the latter."

This was indeed Angel's reasoning, but the reason he could think of this immediately was because he had encountered a moving mechanism when he went to the Snooker base not long ago. If he hadn't taken over the magic energy array in the base laboratory, he might have been trapped there.

He had just taken a hard turn. No matter how ignorant Angel was, he would not forget it as soon as he turned the page.

Laplace showed a look of realization: "In terms of quick thinking, you are very similar to a wise man. The wise man also judged immediately that the mechanism is moving."

After praising him, Laplace said: "You are right, the mechanism itself is mobile. The mechanism here is hidden in the roots of the big tree. Only when the bird light is on, the big tree will move." The mechanism is lifted from the undetectable root to the location of the bird’s lamp.”

Laplace said as he walked towards the hidden door: "Although this is the case, I still don't know how the big tree achieves this mechanism. According to the joint guesses of the wise man and I, we finally agreed that maybe it is The big tree has intelligence in reality.”

"Reflection space can bring in energy and unenlightened things, but enlightened creatures cannot be reflected unless they actively pull the other party in."

"When I discovered this mirror memory, it had been floating in the empty mirror sea for a while. There is no way to directly use the mirror memory to pull the creatures in the corresponding place into the space."

When Laplace said this, he sighed with regret: "If the big tree really has intelligence, as long as it can be pulled into the reflection space, maybe you can know the secrets here."

Laplace was feeling regretful at this time, but if there was a situation where creatures could be pulled into the reflected space, it would actually be equivalent to pulling real creatures into the mirror realm.

This is not like Angel's Dream Wilderness, which is just a dream wandering, but actually violently pulling a creature from another world into the Mirror Realm.

This requires strong strength as a foundation.

Moreover, Laplace fights "away" and pulls the creatures at "home" into the Mirror Realm. In terms of strength comparison, Laplace itself has to lose three points.

Angel didn't know whether the special creatures in a special place were strong or not, but if they really tried to fight, they might not be able to be brought back to the Mirror Realm by Laplace.

Laplace: "However, even though the intelligence of the big tree has not been pulled into the reflection space, there are still some unique rules that are followed here. As long as the bird light is on, the mechanism will be opened."

To put it simply, it doesn't matter if you don't have the intelligence to control the movement of the mechanism. With "muscle memory", as long as the mechanism is correct, the mechanism can continue to operate.

…

Angel followed Laplace into the hidden door.

Behind the door is an upward spiral staircase.

Laplace walked in front and said as he walked: "You should have seen just now that there are actually quite a few tree holes outside. The interiors of these tree holes are probably similar to the layout of the rooms we just saw."

"Most tree holes have mechanisms. They can be connected to a hall."

"This is it."

Laplace stopped and looked forward. Angel followed Laplace's line of sight and saw that the spiral staircase had reached its end. Directly in front of them was a path about five or six meters long, and at the end of the path was a spacious hall.

It was still dark in the hall and it was difficult to see the specific situation clearly, but Angel guessed that the so-called "murals" should be in this hall.

"There are five such halls inside the tree trunk. They are about the same size and have similar interior furnishings. The only difference is that the murals inside are different."

Angel: "In other words, including the mural on the top of the tree, there are six murals in total?"

Laplace nodded: "Yes. So even though there are many tree holes outside, they are actually connected to these five halls, and there are only six murals."

This is good, at least you don’t need to run around to see the murals, and you don’t need to spend too much time.

But then again, this arrangement should have some meaning.

Angel brought up this idea, and Laplace agreed: "The wise man also said something similar. His guess is that there may be a certain tribe living on this big tree. This tribe has a common belief, and the hall connected to their own tree hole is the place of sacrifice for their common belief."

"Of course, it is also possible that these halls have different functions, such as sacrifice, trading, communication, and even friendship."

In short, the five halls are public places for this tribe living on the big tree.

But the specific function is currently unknown.

With thought, Angel and Laplace walked into the first hall.

After walking in, Laplace waved his hand gently, and along the stairs they came from before, birds riding the beige wind kept flying in. As soon as they came in, they immediately jumped into the shell lamp grids on both sides of the wall and turned into bird lamps.

A large number of bird lamps lit up together, making the hall extremely bright.

As the lights came on, Angel also saw the so-called "murals".

Unlike the murals that Ingres imagined, the murals here are only on one wall. Moreover, the murals have an exquisite wooden frame, which looks like an ordinary appreciation painting.

It's just that this appreciation painting is very large, almost occupying three-quarters of the wall.

As for the content of the painting... It's as abstract and incomprehensible as always.

However, one thing is worth noting, the murals are still carved, which causes the picture itself to have ups and downs. It is very similar to the murals on the treetops, and both can produce obvious light and shadow.

But the light and shadow on the treetops rely on the light source in the sky. But the light and shadow of the murals here come from the bird lights densely covered on the walls of the hall.

Laplace has been paying attention to Ingres's gaze. Seeing that his gaze has shifted from the carving to the bird lights on the wall, he curiously asked: "Is it still light and shadow?"

Ingres: "I don't know, I have to try it first."

Laplace: "How to try?"

Ingres thought for a moment and simulated the mural through illusion. At the same time, twelve lights are distributed around the murals, which also corresponds to the twelve bird lights in the hall.

Ingres began to try to turn off some of the lights to identify the light and shadow.

As the lights went out one by one, Ingres found that the twelve lights, according to the layout, were exactly in the four directions of the mural, with three lights in each direction. And the flickering of these three lights only affected a quarter of the mural.

This made the exploration of light and shadow simpler.

Ingres began to try different combinations, and finally presented the most regular light and shadow changes.

When Ingres accelerated "time", the light and shadow in the illusion changed very quickly, which made the abstract lines have a "story".

When Laplace saw this scene, he couldn't help but flash with surprise: "Is this... a throne?"

At first glance, the light and shadow presented the appearance of a throne.

Moreover, this throne is more obvious than the previous "swaddling clothes", and it can be recognized at a glance.

However, there is an obvious protruding shadow outline at the armrest of the throne, and the shadow is deeper, unlike the shadow of the throne itself.

"...This should be a person sitting on the throne?" Angel hesitated for a while and guessed.

Laplace looked at it carefully for a moment and nodded in agreement: "It seems to be true... But what does this mean?"

Angel thought of the mural on the top of the tree. If the mural is finally confirmed to be a "cradle", can it be interpreted as

"The newborn will eventually become a king?"

Hearing Angel's words, Laplace thought: "You mean, the baby in the cradle grows up slowly and eventually becomes the king."

Angel nodded.

Laplace: "This logic makes sense. As far as I know, similar legendary growth stories often appear in murals. However, whether it is true or not, we have to look at the other murals."

If the mural at the top and the mural at the bottom are the beginning and end of the story described in the mural.

Then, the other murals should all be "the process of growth".

"I can simulate murals in other places through illusions, or do you plan to go and see them in person?" Laplace can now confirm that the puzzle of the murals may really be related to light and shadow. Since Angel has solved the puzzle, there is actually no need to go and see it specifically, she can completely simulate the murals.

Angel: "Anyway, we have to go back to the top of the tree, and it won't waste much time to see it with our own eyes."

Laplace nodded: "Then let's go."

They did not return the same way, but Laplace tinkered with a hidden door somewhere, walked up the stairs, and soon came out of a tree hole.

After carefully identifying it, Laplace took Angel to another tree hole at a slightly higher position.

As in the previous situation, with the bird lamp leading the way, the hidden door was opened, and everyone came to the second hall in the big tree.

The layout here is almost the same as the first hall. The only difference is the location of the bird lamp.

"The position of the bird lamp is different. I noticed it before, but I never thought about the change of light and shadow." Laplace looked at the bird lamp with a frustrated tone.

Angel did not respond, because according to his idea, the wise master should be able to see this change in light and shadow. He did not tell Laplace, perhaps because of his intentions and ideas.

He now told Laplace the answer, which, to some extent, broke the situation maintained by the wise master.

Whether this is good or bad, Angel is not clear.

What Angel is thinking now is to treat him as if he knows nothing, and just come to solve the puzzle...

Angel buried his head and silently sorted out the illusion, arranged the bird lights, and tried to find the best light and shadow logic.

Because it was not the first time to do this, Angel was very good at analyzing it.

After a while, a picture composed of rapidly changing time and light and shadow appeared in the illusion.

If you look at this picture alone, you may still not understand it. But if you think of the throne before, this picture is much clearer.

A "person" walking towards the throne.

It is not certain whether it is a "person", but it can only be said that there is a person's outline. However, this "man" looked bloated, as if he was wearing armor, and he was holding a spear-like weapon in his hand.

"It seems that you are right... the first-born will eventually become the king." Laplace looked at the picture and whispered.

Next, they continued to move forward and soon came to the third hall.

As before, Angel was still prepared to use light and shadow to solve the problem silently.

However, at this moment, Laplace suddenly showed hesitation. After thinking for a moment, he said to Angel: "I have some preliminary information here. Do you want to hear about the dreaming problem you mentioned now?"

"Or should I wait until my time body has thoroughly investigated it and then tell you all at once?"

Angel paused. According to his idea, it might take several days or even months for Laplace to investigate the dreaming of the creature in the mirror.

Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, Laplace already had some preliminary information.

This speed was much faster than he imagined.

Angel thought for a moment and nodded to Laplace: "Now."

Since Laplace brought it up now, it must be that she has made some discoveries. Moreover, this discovery is definitely unusual, otherwise she would not be so anxious to speak.

Sure enough, after pondering for a moment, Laplace said to Angel: "The first place Luigi went to was the Tooth Fairy Paradise. It is a special space in the Mirror Domain. It is not big, but it is stable, and the tooth fairies living in it are very small. He used to sing poems in the Tooth Fairy Paradise occasionally. Therefore, the little tooth fairies in the Tooth Fairy Paradise have a good impression of Luigi, and they are also happy to answer some of Luigi's questions."

"According to the information Luigi asked, the tooth fairies born in the past thousand years have slept, but none of them said they had dreamed."

"Now, Luigi is going to visit the Tooth Fairy Castle under the introduction of a little tooth fairy. There are old tooth fairies who have lived in the Tooth Fairy Castle for thousands of years, as well as the Tooth Fairy Queen. Perhaps they will give different answers."
