Chapter 3394 Bloodstone Casino
After leaving the Wetland Castle Sale, Angel and Laplace walked straight to the Bloodstone Casino across the street.
When Angel heard the word "casino", he subconsciously thought of a dark place full of smoke and noise, but when he entered the Bloodstone Casino, he found that the casino here was different from what he imagined.
Although there were many people inside, they were all very quiet. Each of them held a stone and kept observing it with a magnifying glass.
If it wasn't said that this was a "casino", Angel would even suspect that this was a geological research institute.
But then again, studying stones with a magnifying glass... This reminded Angel of some treasure appraisal novels in the holographic tablet.
"Is this... gambling on stones?" Angel whispered.
"What are you talking about? Gambling on stones?" Laplace turned his head and looked over.
Angel shook his head: "No, I'm just curious why they are holding stones. Isn't this a casino? Are they using the stones to gamble?"
Laplace nodded: "They are indeed using stones to gamble, because some of those stones contain blood minerals."
While Laplace was talking, Angel saw a pile of stones not far away, and there was a sign in front of the stones, which recorded the functions of these stones in special words.
The reason why it is called "special words" is that Angel did not recognize the type of words on the sign, but after staring at it for a long time, he inexplicably understood the meaning of the words in his consciousness.
This should be some kind of words transmitted through consciousness?
When Angel was wondering, Laplace said calmly: "This is a technology of the ancient tooth fairy. There are no words on the signboard, but patterns drawn by the ancient tooth fairy with special ink. Through this pattern, the consciousness of intelligent life can be connected and the existing information engraved on the pattern can be transmitted."
Angel: "Is there such a technology?"
Laplace: "This is not a technology they independently researched, but an imitation."
There are many energy lives in the mirror domain. They cannot speak or record in the form of words. Their communication depends more on the communication of spirit, consciousness or soul.
The ancient tooth fairy imitates these energy lives and stores energy information in patterns. When other people's brain waves, souls, spirits or consciousness come into contact with the patterns, they can extract the corresponding energy information from the patterns.
In Laplace's view, this technology is a very poor imitation.
However, in Angel's view, this is also a very interesting experience. Moreover, although the technical content is low, the important thing is that the ancient tooth fairy created this idea.
In many cases, ideas are more important than research itself.
Moreover, most of the profound technologies actually develop from a simple idea.
Although this technology can only be used as a "universal translator" at present, it is possible that in the future, these simple ideas will be able to expand broader technical prospects.
Therefore, Angel is quite interested in this "energy expression".
"If you are interested in this technology, I can teach you later." Laplace said indifferently.
Angel would naturally not refuse. He wanted to find the Laplace system to understand the energy spectrum of the mirror domain, and he could take the opportunity to learn about energy expression at that time.
Let's put learning aside for the time being.
Angel's attention was put back on the sign.
According to the energy expression on the sign, Angel roughly understood the situation of the Bloodstone Casino.
Indeed, as Laplace said, the gambling here is gambling on stones.
To be precise, the gambling is the "magic blood mine" hidden under the stone shell.
These stones suspected of having "magic blood mines" are called "blood stones" by the ancient tooth fairy.
Since the bloodstone is related to the ancient tooth fairy, it is not difficult to infer that the origin of the bloodstone is... the Sea of Mirrors.
The ancient tooth fairy fished out the bloodstone in the Sea of Mirrors, and some of them would be opened by themselves, and the magic blood ore inside would be taken out and sold. For those bloodstones that are difficult to identify, they would be thrown into the casino and let the gamblers open them themselves.
This kind of bloodstone that has been selected by the ancient tooth fairy in advance is basically a loss after purchase, either the blood is too weak, or there is no magic blood ore at all.
However, there are also some high-level magic blood ores with restrained blood, which escaped the identification of the ancient tooth fairy.
And once a gambler gambles on this kind of high-level magic blood ore, it is a big profit.
Of course... this probability is very small, but there are too many gamblers.
As long as they are gamblers, they basically have the protagonist mentality of "the world revolves around me". When they go to gamble, they will only look at successful cases; failed cases will be thrown behind them.
This is why there are so many people in the bloodstone casino.
After reading the content on the sign, Angel further confirmed that this was probably the mirror domain version of "gambling on stones".
However, he also had some doubts.
The biggest reason why the exclusiveness in the novel in the holographic tablet can be popular is that it is difficult for technology to detect the pearls and jade in the stone, which can create the uniqueness of the protagonist.
But the gamblers here are basically extraordinary life. If they want, they can use their mental power to probe into the bloodstone, and they will know the situation in the bloodstone, right?
Angel asked his doubts.
Laplace was not surprised by this: "Because you are now a conscious body, you can't see the specific situation of those bloodstones. In fact, the reason is very simple."
Angel: "Is there anything abnormal about those bloodstones?"
Laplace nodded: "The surface of those bloodstones is still covered with the breath of the Sea of Mirrors. It won't be a problem if you cut them directly, but if you rashly use your mental power to touch them, you may be affected by the Sea of Mirrors."
This kind of influence will certainly not turn you into a hollow person, but it is very likely to cause irreversible damage to your spirit.
For this reason, these gamblers dare not use their mental power to investigate. They can only choose to observe with a magnifying glass and choose the stones they want based on their past experience.
"This breath of the Sea of Mirrors is useless for people with high mental power limits or strong mental power resistance."
"However, these people don't look down on these bloodstones."
Laplace can easily see the blood ore in the bloodstone, and it is not affected by the so-called breath of the Sea of Mirrors, but she has no intention of participating in gambling on stones.
Because there is no need.
The truly precious magic blood ore, even if the divine object is self-concealed, the ancient tooth fairy has other ways to identify it. These magic blood ores, even if there are high-level magic blood ores, are mostly released by the ancient tooth fairy himself.
If the elder pretends to be blind and comes to gamble on stones, he won't make much money here, but will lose his style.
But then again, the reason why Laplace knows so much about gambling on stones is because Luigi... occasionally goes to the casino of the Ancient Tooth Fairy to pretend to be blind.
Unlike Laplace, Angel is still a little interested in bloodstone. After all, no matter how bad it is, it is still an alchemical consumable.
However, he is still a conscious body now, and he doesn't have any condensed crystals on him. Even if he can see through the blood ore in the bloodstone, he can't afford it.
So, he can only give up for the time being and get his thoughts back on track.
"According to the clerk of the God Eye Tribe, the parrot has been here for nearly a quarter of an hour. Is he also here to open bloodstone?" Angel looked around and wanted to see where the clerk of the bloodstone shop was.
But after looking for a long time, he only saw people studying stones, and no clerks were seen.
Just when Angel was puzzled, he found that Laplace had walked to the side. When he followed him, he saw that Laplace was already talking to a "clerk".
When Angel saw the "clerk", he finally understood why he hadn't seen him before.
He was too small, only the size of a palm.
It was an ancient tooth fairy wearing a milk tooth hat and a long white beard. Although he looked very old, he was wearing a colorful robe, and the wings on his back were also colorful, a bit like... the wings of a fly reflecting colorful light in the sun.
This ancient tooth fairy was holding an iron spoon about the same size as his body, digging a glass jar in front of him.
The jar wafted out a faint nectar fragrance.
When Laplace talked to him, he didn't forget to lick the remaining nectar on the spoon.
"Are you friends of Longya Qin?" The ancient tooth fairy smiled and wrinkled his whole facial features: "Since you are friends of Elder Qin, you are my milk tooth Papa's friends."
Angel: "..." Milk tooth Papa? Are you sure you're not Milk tooth dad?
Moreover, did you believe us when we said we were friends of Longya Qin? Don't you doubt it at all?
"Ask directly what you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know." Baby Tooth Papa patted his chest and promised solemnly... If he didn't lick the nectar while making the promise, it would be more convincing.
Laplace used aura to simulate the image of the parrot and Luigi: "I wonder if you have seen this person before?"
As they asked, Baby Tooth Papa's eyes slowly turned to the phantom next to him.
When he saw the parrot, Baby Tooth Papa's expression paused.
After a long while, he said: "What are you asking him for?"
Angel: "... Didn't you just say that you will tell me everything you know?"
Baby Tooth Papa said unhappily: "I'm not stupid. Do I have to believe you if you say you are friends of Elder Qin? Who knows if you are here to spy on secrets?"
Angel understood. Could it be that this guy was so enthusiastic just now, and he believed it as soon as he said it, purely to set the atmosphere?
But it's true, how could a person who dares to guard the casino alone be simple?
Laplace didn't care, and said calmly: "You have a display book, right? You can ask your team leader for my name."
Baby Tooth Papa murmured in a low voice: "Even if the team leader knows your name, you can fake your name. Just like I can say that I am a wolf tooth flute bone."
Hearing Baby Tooth Papa's rebuttal, Laplace was not annoyed, but just said calmly: "No one dares to impersonate my name."
Such confident words made Baby Tooth Papa dare not say anything.
Those who dare to say such words are either big elders or lunatics. And Laplace in front of him doesn't look like a lunatic.
Baby Tooth Papa thought about it, and hurriedly asked Laplace's name, and then quickly took out the display book and asked the team leader through the display book.
Generally speaking, there is no emergency on his side, and even if the team leader replies to his message, it may be more than ten or twenty minutes later.
But when he reported Laplace's name.
Almost instantly, he received the message from the team leader.
"Fully cooperate."
Although he didn't elaborate, this short sentence and the instant reply made Milk Tooth Papa think a lot.
There is no doubt that Laplace is someone he can't afford to offend.
Baby Tooth Papa immediately put away his previous frivolous attitude, pushed the honey pot aside, threw the spoon on the table, and bowed to Laplace seriously: "I didn't know that the distinguished guest was coming, and I was rude before. "
Laplace: "I don't want to hear these boring words, answer my question."
Baby Tooth Papa nodded hurriedly: "I understand. The person you asked just now is actually one of our external appraisers..."
Angel: "Appraiser? Appraisal for what, these blood stones?"
Baby Tooth Papa nodded: "Yes, he calls himself Parrot. He is a human wizard, and a wizard on the blood side. He is very familiar with all kinds of demon blood. Even if the blood stone here is covered by confusion, he You can also judge from some characteristics what kind of magic blood ore will appear inside."
The "confidence" in Baby Tooth Papa's mouth is undoubtedly the breath of the Sea of Empty Mirrors.
Angel: "So, he has been working with you for a long time?"
Baby Tooth Papa nodded: "It's been a while. Before the regular gathering, we had been in contact with the parrot."
According to Baby Tooth Papa, Parrot had already served as the appraiser of Bloodstone Casino half a month ago. However, the parrot was at the Bloodstone Casino in Pippi Castle at that time.
Baby Tooth Papa: "He seems to have been living in Pipi Castle. This time he came to the regular gathering with Piluxiu... By the way, the parrot cooperated with us and seemed to be planning to leave the Mirror Realm, but the Mirror Realm channel is not It's also a secret for us Jinghai scholars, so we didn't agree to it. However, considering his ability to identify blood stones, we didn't refuse him..."
These words of Baby Tooth Papa were basically consistent with the information they had received from the parrot before.
Parrot once said that he wanted to ask the Ancient Tooth Fairy to help him leave the Mirror Realm, but it didn't take shape in the end.
Angel: "The parrot came just now, right?"
Baby Tooth Papa nodded: "Yes, I came with this person in the illusion."
Angel: "What did they do here?"
Baby Tooth Papa thought for a while: "I didn't do anything. I just helped me identify a small batch of newly arrived blood stones."
"Speaking of which, there is no high-grade demon blood ore in this new batch of blood stones."
Angel: "...There is no need to talk about these things."
Baby Tooth Papa nodded obediently.
Angel thought for a while and continued: "Then have you seen the parrot communicating with its companions?"
Baby Tooth Papa nodded without hesitation: "Yes, they have been chatting."
Angel's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Then did you hear what they were talking about?"
Baby Tooth Papa thought about it seriously: "I didn't listen carefully to the specific conversation. But basically it was the parrot talking, and his companions rarely spoke."
