Chapter 3172 Crystal Dust

"Ritual?" Laplace glanced at the guard lightly: "What ceremony?"

"This...I'm not sure about that either." The guard didn't want to say anything at first, but when Laplace stared at him with his strange eyes, he felt a chill running down his spine. After choking on his saliva, he still spoke.

"Only the people in the Presbyterian Church know the specific ceremony. We are just implementing the lockdown management... I don't know anything."

Laplace took a deep look at the guard and did not comment on his words. He just said softly: "No need."

Guard: "???" Why don't you use it?

Seeing the guard's confused face, Luigi sighed and explained: "What she means is that we will not go to the VIP room. However, we did not intend to stay here in the first place. Our target is the host of the siege party." stand."

The guard was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "Oh...oh! Are the guests planning to take the 003 passage to the siege party? Then...then please come this way."

Seeing that no one was moving, the guard scratched his temples which were covered by the crystal hat: "I mean, I'm here to lead the distinguished guests."

The duty of the guards is to ensure that there are no foreigners outside the current ring fort. As long as Laplace and others don't stay in this ring fort, they can go to the VIP room or passage 003.

Seeing the guard's diligent performance, Laplace was silent for a moment and glanced at Angel with his peripheral vision.

Angel obviously noticed Laplace's peripheral vision, and nodded slightly with subtle movements.

Laplace then said: "Okay."

The guard breathed a long sigh of relief and took the initiative to lead everyone towards the next passage.

It wasn't until Angel and others completely disappeared into the dark corridor that the guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then quickly summoned a wisp of floating crystal dust.

——He needs to send a message to the elder who presided over the ceremony through Jingchen.

Even though he was the only one who came to stop Laplace and the others, in fact, the other patrolling guards in the ring fort were aware of the situation here, but they just didn't come over.

"The identity of the visitor is unknown, but his strength... is very strong." The guard quickly condensed the crystal dust: "However, their goal is to siege the city and appear in this ring fort. They came through the 013 channel not long ago. They have now entered Channel 003, should be just passing by.”

As the words fell, the condensed crystal dust quickly dissipated.

After the guard finished explaining the situation, he did not let go of his suspense, but looked nervously at the floating crystal dust.

After a few seconds, the crystal dust floating in the air condensed again.

A message that only the guards could understand came through Jingchen: ‘Since you have left, don’t pay attention to it. However, be careful to clean up the remaining energy around you to ensure that no information is leaked. It must be cleaned up. In a few minutes, the old heroic spirit will be born, so there must be no room for error. ’

This is the message from the elders.

The guard immediately said: "Understood."

After finishing speaking, the guards began to summon other companions to clean up all the pheromones and possible remaining energy left by Angel and others.

When they were doing the final cleaning, Laplace's barrier once again enveloped everyone in the dark passage.

Angel looked at Laplace: "Are you sure everything is okay?"

When Angel asked Laplace, Laplace was staring at a small illusory light screen in the barrier.

This is not the first time Laplace has seen a screen simulated by illusion. She has seen it many times before in the Dream Crystal.

According to Angel, this is called - fantasy live broadcast.

Fantasy live broadcast is divided into: holographic live broadcast and light screen live broadcast.

Holographic live broadcast is similar to a shadow box, allowing you to immerse yourself in the host's current situation; while light screen live broadcast is similar to watching a movable two-dimensional picture book.

There is no doubt that nowadays it is live broadcast with light screen.

The light screen was currently showing the current situation of the ring fort: a group of guards were cleaning up any traces they might have left.

The reason why Angel asked "Are you sure everything is okay?" was because he saw these guards cleaning up the traces and was worried that the illusion nodes he left behind would be discovered.

The illusion node left by Angel is on a mirror arranged by Laplace.

Yes, Laplace left a mirror on the scene.

Moreover, this mirror is suspended directly above the ring castle.

Before, Angel and Laplace exchanged glances for this reason.

In Angel's opinion, the location of the mirror is a bit too obvious. If his illusion node is attached to the mirror, will it really not be discovered?

Laplace said calmly: "The mirror you see is what I want you to see. It actually does not exist in this space..."

As Laplace explained, Angel gradually understood the principle.

The mirror placed by Laplace is actually in a deeper space...if we use an analogy, it is similar to a space mezzanine.

The number of mezzanine spaces is nearly infinite.

Therefore, even if the Jingmu clan discovers it, they may not be able to find the corresponding mezzanine space.

"The mirror is arranged in the mezzanine space, but it can reflect the real scene... Is this similar to the corridor in the mirror?" Angel asked curiously.

The corridor in the mirror is located on the mezzanine, and you can still see the outside scene in the corridor. But people outside could not see what was happening in the corridor in the mirror.

Laplace: "The effect is similar, but more hidden."

The corridor in the mirror is invisible to the naked eye, but the fluctuation of the aggregation energy will penetrate from the interlayer to the reality and can be sensed. Therefore, it is not hidden, and any creature in the mirror with a little strength can detect it.

But the mirror released by Laplace now is hidden in a deeper place, and it will not emit aggregation energy, so it will basically not be discovered.

Therefore, Angel is worried that the illusion node will be noticed and cleared by the guards, which is impossible.

This is indeed the case. The guards of the ring fort have cleared the so-called "residual traces", but they have not found the "mirror" in the sky at all.

Through the live broadcast, Angel has seen the guards use the crystal dust to report to the unknown person that the traces have been cleared.

Not long after, all the guards dispersed and resumed patrolling. Obviously, the mirror in the air has been completely ignored by them.

After confirming that the live broadcast would not be affected, Angel also breathed a sigh of relief and had the energy to ask some irrelevant questions: "Did the Crystal Eye Guards pass messages through those scattered crystal dust?"

Angel noticed that the guards passed messages through the condensation of crystal dust for several consecutive times. However, Angel could collect relevant signals about the content of the guards' messages through the live broadcast; but he could not collect any information at all from the reply from the other end of the crystal dust.

But the guards could understand the meaning of the gathered crystal dust, which made Angel quite curious.

Luigi: "The Crystal Eyes do rely on the gathering and dispersion of crystal dust to transmit information. They have their own way to understand the meaning of the gathered crystal dust... But for outsiders, it is difficult to interpret."

This is similar to "racial talent". The bodies of the Crystal Eyes are made of crystals, and their understanding and cognition of crystals are stronger than all other races. Therefore, they can understand the meaning of crystal dust, but others cannot get any information from crystal dust.

Angel nodded in understanding. To put it bluntly, without the physiological structure and living environment of the Crystal Eye Clan, it is impossible to understand the meaning of Crystal Dust.

The live broadcast is still going on.

The scene is still similar to the previous one. There are still no outsiders in the ring fortress, but there are many patrolling guards on each floor.

At the bottom of the center of the ring fortress, the elliptical mirror full of crystal dust is still pouring out new crystal dust.

Judging from the situation in the live broadcast, the most likely place for the ring fortress to change should be this elliptical mirror... The "ritual" mentioned by the guard may also be related to this mirror?

Because the live broadcast screen did not change much, Angel once again turned his attention to Laplace.

"You seem to care about their rituals?" Angel asked curiously.

This live broadcast itself was an accident.

Laplace first released the suspended mirror, and then asked Angel if he wanted to watch a good show. So Angel released the illusion node and made this live broadcast.

Therefore, the real proposer of the live broadcast was Laplace.

Although Angel was curious about the so-called ceremony of the Crystal Eyes, he was not so curious that he wanted to peek.

Therefore, Angel was a little curious about why Laplace took the initiative to spy on the ceremony of the Crystal Eyes. Was it curiosity that made him want to see gossip? Or was there another reason?

"I don't care, but Gleipnir cares a lot." Laplace replied: "Gleipnir contacted me before, and she has met Fadda."

"As she expected, Fadda did not tell her about Lita, but according to Gleipnir's observation and the information Fadda 'occasionally' revealed, it can be seen that Lita's affairs do involve some secrets of the Crystal Eyes."

"After Fadda met Gleipnir, she mentioned the ceremony intentionally or unintentionally."

You know, the ceremony is not a prominent subject in the Mirror Domain, and it is rare for the races in the mirror to hold formal ceremonies. Gleipnir just heard Fadda talking about the ceremony one second ago, and the next second she heard that Laplace had encountered the ceremony of the Ring Castle. She naturally associated them together and wanted to know the specific situation.

Therefore, Laplace would take the initiative to release the mirror and invite Angel to watch the show.

"That means, now it's not just the three of us who are watching the live broadcast... Gleipnir is watching it too?" Angel asked in confusion.

Laplace nodded: "Yes, I shared the screen with Gleipnir."

Okay, let's share the live broadcast remotely.

After a moment of silence, Laplace said: "Gleipnir said that if you have any questions, you can ask before the ceremony starts."

Angel: "Has she left Fada now?"

Laplace shook his head: "No, she and Fada are in Hilda's study."

After Gleipnir confirmed some of his thoughts, he was ready to leave. However, just before she said goodbye, Fada invited her to visit Hilda's study.

With Gleipnir's understanding of Fada, she knew that Fada would definitely not do anything unnecessary.

Since Fada spoke, it means that Hilda's study may have some secrets.

Gleipnir was looking through Hilda's study while watching the live broadcast from a distance.

"So it seems that Fadda is not unwilling to speak, but she cannot or dare not speak for some reason?"

Based on the current situation, Fadda wants to tell Gleipnir some truth, otherwise she would not have hinted at it in various ways and asked Gleipnir to go to Hilda's study; but Fadda cannot say it directly.

Laplace nodded: "That should be the case. Fada, she should have her own difficulties."

Angel: "Has Gleipnir confirmed the secret behind Lita's matter now?"

Laplace: "There is a little clue, but there are still some "puzzle pieces" that have not been filled. However, Gleipnir guessed that there should be the remaining puzzle pieces in Hilda's study."

Angel can ask now, or wait until Gleipnir finds the remaining puzzle pieces before asking.

Angel chose the latter. He still wanted to know the exact answer rather than the ambiguous half-understanding.

Since the secret of the Crystal Eye Clan could not be confirmed for the time being, Angel asked about another matter that had been concluded: the Crystal Eye Clan's prophet, that is, the relevant information about Tunita.

Laplace's understanding of Tunita is still the same as when he was young. But Gleipnir occasionally visited the Crystal Eye Clan and became close friends with Hilda, so he naturally knew some of the history of the Crystal Eye Clan in detail.

Soon, Gleipnir told what he knew.

However, this time she did not use Laplace to talk about Tunita; instead, she told Luigi the information, and Luigi talked about Tunita "later".

Luigi: "After Tunita returned from the Sea of ​​Hollow Mirrors, he became the target of public criticism..."

When Luigi repeated Gleipnir's words, not only Angel was listening, but also Laplace next to him. As the story progressed, in Laplace's mind, Tunita's image gradually became more specific...

Tunita was the only one who came back alive, so he naturally became the target of encirclement and suppression. Those parents who lost their cubs, and the ambitious people who were eager to know the secrets of the Sea of ​​Hollow Mirrors, all surrounded Tunita and threatened him.

In this situation, Tunita fell into a huge dilemma.

However, Tunita finally dealt with the problems of the outside world as a "hollow man".

Although, in the process, he was inevitably used as a pawn, but he finally survived.

After decades of silence, Tunita worked with the sage of Piruxiu at that time to research a lot of projects that were useful to the Crystal Eyes. He was also favored by an elder of the Crystal Eyes at that time, and he was promoted from a commoner to a great scholar.

From a great scholar to an elder, and then from an elder to a prophet.

It took Tunita two hundred years.

The struggle here is naturally not something that can be explained in a few words. However, it can be known that Tunita worked very hard... But what puzzled many Crystal Eyes was that any effort requires a goal. Tunita's efforts seemed to have no clear goal? He was not for himself or for his future, because he had abandoned the status of elder and prophet countless times, which was evident.

No one knew what goal he was working hard for.

Later, Tunita invented the crystal shell, which gave the Crystal Eyes a terrifying defensive ability and opened up a new generation of the Crystal Eyes.

That year, Tunita was called the greatest prophet of the Crystal Eyes.

It was also in that year that Tunita started the expansion and renovation of Crystal City. Moreover, the Holy Corpse Crystal was officially born and became the building material of Crystal City.

Hundreds of years later, Tunita died.

The expansion of Crystal City did not end with Tunita's death. After two thousand years of construction, the mirror collapsed and the city was moved to another place. Now, Crystal City, standing on the frozen soil, has become a truly majestic... wonder!
