Chapter 3504: Star Dropper Bubble
I have to say that Edward was quite lucky.
He happened to run into a routine gathering of multiple tribes.
Because there were too many foreigners, the guards of the Crystal Eye Tribe were much less careful about their own people, and even just glanced at Edward before letting him enter the Crystal City.
Edward got in without any effort, and even got to the core ring fortress, and no one found that his body was Hilda.
Later, Edward came to the floor occupied by Piruxiu.
When he saw the tooth dyeing shop that was deserted, his heart moved.
Although tooth dyeing is a tradition of Piruxiu, if you look into it, it can also be regarded as a part of beauty. And Edward is best at beauty, tooth dyeing, hair dyeing, anyway, they are all dyeing, so they can be combined.
So Edward found the owner of the tooth dyeing shop and proposed a cooperation intention.
"Then, you came to me..."
Edward told all his experiences, and there should be some concealment. ——For example, how he quickly crossed the void in the vast Daylight Mirror Domain.
But these are small things, insignificant details.
At least from the perspective of process and behavioral logic, Edward's expression is complete and self-consistent.
Gleipnir also believes that he will not lie in this regard.
Back to the topic, after listening to Edward's story, everyone's focus is actually different.
What Angel was most concerned about was: "After you occupied Hilda's body, you determined that the outside world was a ghost in the mirror?"
Edward didn't understand what Angel wanted to express. He simply nodded to Angel's question: "Yes."
Angel stroked his chin and murmured in a low voice: "Do you remember how you entered the ritual world?"
Edward: "I said before that I was thrown in by a wizard named Ronan."
Angel: "I mean, do you remember where you entered the ritual world from?"
Edward shook his head: "I don't know. I was forcibly abducted by Ronan at the beginning. In the next two days, Ronan kept traveling through space and time, and finally took me to a dark room... I was sent to the ritual world in that room."
"In other words, you don't know where the coordinates of entering the ritual world are in the end?"
Edward nodded. Although he was a formal wizard, he had never made a long journey in the void, and he had no concept of the void coordinates. At that time, Ronan was constantly opening the door of space with sparks and lightning, and he was always shuttling back and forth. He was completely confused and had no idea where he was.
Angel: "Could it be that Ronan took you to the Mirror Realm?"
Edward immediately shook his head: "No, it's definitely not the Mirror Realm. Although I have no concept of the void coordinates, I can still distinguish between the material world and the Mirror Realm."
"The small black room that Ronan took me to at the end must be in the material world. There is no trace of the Mirror Realm there."
Edward's answer surprised Angel.
The reason why he was so obsessed with the location where Edward entered the ritual world was because... Edward came out of the Mirror Cave.
If Edward entered the ritual world from the Mirror Realm, and came out of the Mirror Realm, it would not be a big deal.
But Edward entered the ritual world from the material world, and the place where he came out was the ghost cave in the mirror.
This is very surprising.
Can this "ritual world" span the material world and the Mirror Realm? Then can't it also be called a special world?
Angel expressed his doubts in the mind band.
Laplace pondered and said: "The special world does not conflict with the ordinary world. Its relationship with the ordinary world is more like covering and being covered. Generally speaking, the special world can cover almost all worlds with intelligent creatures."
Whether it is the dream world, the star spirit world, the nightmare world or the mirror domain, these domains widely defined as special worlds are all covering relationships with the ordinary world.
For this reason, if you want to go from one world to another as quickly as possible, then you must choose the special world as a transit medium.
"The ritual world can allow Edward to transfer from the material world to the mirror domain... This is indeed very similar to what the special world can do." Laplace: "But Edward transferred from the mirror window to the mirror domain, which is more like using some special medium. It is not because of the "coverage" reason that he entered the mirror domain."
"So, it is difficult to judge whether the ritual world is a special world."
Laplace paused: "If you let me say, I think the ritual world is most likely not a special world."
The name of the special world is basically very big. After all, the special world will cover the infinite plane. How could it be possible without a name?
As for the Ritual World, Laplace had never heard of its name.
"Another important point is that Ronan captured Edward to go to the Ritual World because he felt that the Ritual World needed a makeup artist like Edward. This means that before Edward entered the Ritual World, the Ritual World had no concept of makeup artists."
"A complete special world embraces all races, civilizations, and industries. It is absolutely impossible to attract talents from the outside world to enter the special world."
Laplace said this, glanced at Angel, and then opened a private chat on the Mind Tie: "In fact, Ronan's behavior of capturing talents, don't you think it is very similar to you?"
Although he didn't know why Laplace chose to chat privately, he guessed that it was because there was an "outsider" in the Mind Tie, the housekeeper Fan.
Angel pointed at himself: "Me?"
Laplace nodded: "To be precise, it is very similar to the Crystal Plains of Dreams. A newly opened, completely deserted world requires various powers to modify and various talents to construct..."
Only during this period will talents be attracted from the outside world.
Angel thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was a bit of a resemblance: "So, the world of Yi is actually a world created by humans, and it is a world that is being established not long after the birth?"
Laplace shook his head: "I don't know. I have never been in contact with the world of Yi. Everything is just speculation."
Angel also understood that the only way to understand the truth about Yi World was to have personal contact with it. But if you want to get in touch with the Yi world, without Ronan's ability to directly dump people into it, you can only exchange souls and take the route of the knight's castle... This risk is a bit too great.
Angel thought for a while and put aside the idea of exploring the world of instruments for the time being.
He looked up at Edward: "Speaking of which, you seem to know the Mirror Realm very well?"
As soon as Edward left the mirror window, he immediately judged that the outside was the Mirror Realm, which was not something ordinary people could do.
Edward scratched his temples: "Although I have never been to the Mirror Realm before, I have seen the creatures in the Mirror Realm, and I have come into contact with the hair of the creatures in the Mirror Realm before."
Edward was born in Lorenbier. On the surface, Lorenbier is the largest exchange place for extraordinary creatures in the Southern Region, but hidden behind this name is
Slaves from all over the world gathered in Lorenbir.
Among them, there are also creatures from the Mirror Realm.
As for why the creatures in the Mirror Realm left the Mirror Realm and came to the material world? In fact, most of them are involuntarily.
Just like creatures in the material world occasionally enter the mirror realm; similarly, creatures in the mirror realm may accidentally enter the material realm.
Once captured, creatures from the Mirror Realm who enter the material world may become slaves in the trade.
When Edward lived in Lorenbier, he had seen more than one creature from the Mirror Realm, and had also come into contact with creatures from this other world. From their mouths, Edward also learned a lot of information about the Mirror Realm, and he was also very familiar with the aura of the Mirror Realm.
This is why, as soon as he left the mirror window, he judged that he was in the dark mirror realm through the wave of mirror ghosts.
Angel nodded, accepted the explanation, and didn't ask any more questions.
Compared to Angel's interest in the Yi World, Gleipnir showed little interest in the Yi World. Instead, she was interested in the various wigs made by Edward.
It's not that Gleipnir is "pretty with age", but when Edward mentioned the "void borer wig" just now, it reminded her of the one she saw in the display area of Baibo's tooth dye shop. A wig stained with the power of the stars.
According to what Edward said before, he can use the hair of living creatures to exert unique effects.
And that wig with the power of the starry sky, if nothing unexpected happened, must have come from a creature with the power of the starry sky.
Could it be the star jellyfish that Edward mentioned before?
Gleipnir hesitated for a moment, and then raised the question in his heart.
When Edward heard Gleipnir's inquiry, he was calm on the surface, but he was a little excited on the inside. Sure enough, as an astrologer, Gleipnir would definitely be interested in the power of the stars.
Anyone interested in the power of the stars will notice...bubbles.
Thinking of this, Edward nodded slightly: "Yes, that wig stained with the power of the starry sky came from Bubbles' tentacles. It was originally a wig customized for Bubbles, but due to the sudden spiritual transformation ceremony, I didn't even have time to hand it over to Bubbles..."
Edward's voice was soft and he lowered his head, as if he felt guilty.
Gleipnir: "Do you know anything about this bubble?"
Edward nodded slightly: "I have stayed in the Knight's Castle for a long, long time, maybe dozens of years? Or hundreds of years? Such a long time is enough for me to get to know everyone in the Knight's Castle, including... Bubbles.”
"Although Bubbles plays the role of a somewhat arrogant young lady in the Knight's Castle, her character is actually very gentle."
When Edward mentioned Bubbles, not only did his voice become softer, but even his eyes became less sharp and more gentle.
If Edward hadn't mentioned it before, Bubbles was a jellyfish, and it was also a male. I guess he would have thought that Edward was mentioning his little lover.
Edward told some past events with Bubbles during their time in the castle.
The place where Bubble lives is right next door to Edward, so they often chat across the wall or through the door.
Because of the role-playing rules of the secret place, Bubbles cannot say things that are not in line with the character's personality, so every time it talks to Edward about its own affairs, it always adds a preface: "I have read a book before. Fairy tale book, the protagonist in the book is a jellyfish, he..."
The conversation was about the jellyfish in the fairy tale, but the real conversation was about myself.
Through this kind of indirect communication, and moreover decades or hundreds of years of communication, Edward probably understands Paopao better than he does.
"Bubble is a star descender. It once lived in the star spirit world, on a planet called Hailou."
Hailou Planet is full of sea water, and the land above the water only occupies less than 10% of the planet's surface.
Bubble lives in the deep sea of Hailou Star.
The Paopao family, who call themselves Hailou people, have not only jellyfish, but also various ocean creatures. Whales as big as islands and shrimps as small as dust are all sea dwellers.
The Hailou people established an undersea civilization, and the star sea slurry they brewed was the best-selling commodity on nearby planets.
All Hailou people are proud of the Xinghai juice they brew.
Different Hailou people brew Xinghai pulp with different tastes and different recipes. The Xinghai pulp brewed by Bubble, in its own words, is the top Xinghai pulp in the entire Hailou Star; the formula materials required for this top-notch delicacy are naturally not easy to obtain, and they basically need to be separated. From the sea, to the stars.
It was when Paopao went to the starry sky to collect materials that he encountered a star disaster.
Star-falling tribulation is what beings in the astral world say.
To put it simply, it was the misfortune of leaving the star spirit world and entering another world.
Although it was said to be a disaster, in fact, it was not really a "catastrophe". Many star descendants were reunited with their families one second, but in the blink of an eye, they left the star spirit world the next second.
To put it bluntly, Starfall Tribulation doesn't pick a time, a place, or a person at all. If you encounter one, it's just bad luck.
Bubble was very unlucky and unfortunately became a star-faller.
What's even more unfortunate is that it just arrived in the material world and was caught by a man wearing a cloak before even observing where it was.
After saying something it didn't understand, Bubble was thrown into the Yi world.
During these years in the Yi World, Paopao also learned the common language of mankind, and then he understood what the man in the cloak said at the beginning: "Hey, I didn't expect to meet a Star Faller when I went out. Not bad, it can be thrown into the Yi World to increase the diversity of species. But then again, can this little guy reproduce on his own? "
At that time, because Paopao didn't understand what he said, he definitely couldn't answer. If it had understood at the time, it would have probably used its tentacles to lift him off on the spot. ——These are Paopao's original words, but they are obviously trying to be tough.
Although being caught in the Yi world was unfortunate in Paopao's opinion, as time went by, Paopao discovered that there was also an advantage in being in the Yi world.
It doesn’t suffer from home-lost syndrome.
Because the star calamity is completely random, in order for the people of the starry sky to survive safely after encountering the calamity, the star spirits will tell them some external situations.
Therefore, Pao Pao knows that many star-fallen people will suffer from a mental illness due to "the world changes and they are not accustomed to the climate." This disease is called homelessness syndrome.
Although homelessness syndrome is a mental problem, it can produce severe physical symptoms and a very high mortality rate.
After the Star Destroyer falls, if he does not encounter the "Star Spirit Warlock" and summons the Star Spirit Master to protect him, the probability of suffering from Homelessness Syndrome is very high.
Bubble has been worried that he will suffer from homelessness syndrome since he fell to the star, but after hundreds of years in the ritual world, he found that he is still safe and sound.
Bubble doesn't think he will be an exception among those who have fallen stars.
In its view, it does not suffer from home-losing syndrome, most likely because the world of Yi is very special.
Later, it went to the Knight's Castle and learned some secrets from the Ghost Rider's mouth, making it even more certain that it was the cause of the Yi World.
