In the central hall on the 50th floor of the R&D Institute, a glass door opened, and Angel walked out of an "elevator"-like device.
When I came here last time, I could still see Midora here, but now, there is no one there.
Along the quiet and narrow corridor, Angel soon came to a mechanical hall.
In the machinery hall, there is the only display box on the entire 50th floor.
Angel originally planned to go directly to the Fantasy Mechanical City, but looking at the lonely display box on the high platform, he felt a strange sense of guidance in his heart, which made him unconsciously approach the display box.
Just like what I saw last time, although the outer shell of the display box is unprecedentedly gorgeous and luxurious, the inside is empty.
It's said to be a display box, but the things displayed inside have never been placed here.
Angel stretched out his fingers and slowly touched the wall of the display box.
When the fingertips touched the cold glass, a vague energy surged outside the display box. Then, a light screen seemed to emerge from the water and appeared in front of Angel's eyes, and
It set off circles of ripples in mid-air like water waves.
This light screen is the introduction to the display box.
There is only one row of words on the light screen: "Name: Unknown (Box of Reincarnation), Effect: Unknown, Creator: Ivo Spruit"
Angel looked at the typesetting, and there seemed to be a faint light flickering in his eyes.
At first, Angel once asked Midora about the contents of this display box. Midora's answer was very vague and she seemed unwilling to talk more. Angel did not delve into it further.
Now the main reason why Angel looks at this typesetting again is...the name of the Box of Reincarnation.
While Angel was quietly looking at the row of words on the light screen, a series of crisp footsteps suddenly came from behind.
After a while, a witch wearing glass slippers stood beside Angel.
"Antonio told me that you have already arrived, but I haven't seen you enter the Fantasy Mechanical City for a long time. I thought you were lost." A soft voice came to Angel's ears.
Angel turned to look at the water-marked witch beside him. Looking closely, even if there was a thin veil, he could still feel the breathtaking beauty.
Angel lowered his eyebrows and chuckled softly: "I just looked at this display box, so I'm not lost, right?"
Falina: "Are you very concerned about this display box?"
"I do care a little."
"Hmm...that's right. You have been in contact with the mysterious realm before, so it's normal to be curious about mysterious things."
"I wonder, Ms. Farina, can you explain to me the story of this box of reincarnation?" Angel asked.
Falina pondered for a moment: "Actually, I don't know much, but if you want to know the story of the Box of Reincarnation, you might as well ask the person involved."
"The person involved? You mean, Ivo Spruit." Angel pointed to the name on the light screen.
Farina shook her head: "Of course not. Lord Ivo has been missing for a long time. What I am referring to is another person who you are actually familiar with. We had lunch at her place not long ago."
"Nail Granny?"
"Yes, Granny Nail actually participated in the refining plan of the Box of Reincarnation." When Falina said this, she winked at Angel: "This is what the dean once revealed accidentally. It shouldn't be
Fake."
"Because I am too far away from the mystery, I am not very curious, and I have never asked my mother-in-law. However, if you ask, maybe your mother-in-law will tell you."
After listening to Falina's story, Angel was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Granny Nail was actually involved in the refining plan of the Box of Reincarnation?
Falina: "I heard from other members that Granny Nail has been quiet since she participated in the refining project, and rarely refining gold herself. But before that, Granny Nail was the strongest in the R&D Institute at that time.
One of the several alchemists didn’t know what happened during the refining."
Farina's words are again connected with what Portia said.
Portia once told Angel during the witnessing ceremony that Granny Nail created many glorious works thousands of years ago, but then fell silent because of one incident.
Come to think of it, this is the so-called Box of Reincarnation Project.
"Are you still going to watch here for a while?" Falina asked.
Angel shook his head: "No, let's go."
Falina opened the door to the Fantasy Mechanical City. When Angel came here again and saw the steel city full of steam, gears and machinery, the shock still echoed in his heart.
The style of this city is probably what Angel admires and likes the most among all the cities he has visited, apart from the fallen ash-earth rock.
Looking at the buildings here, Angel couldn't help but think of what Sanders had mentioned before, that new towns could be opened in the Wilderness of Dreams.
Angel has also recently been thinking about how to build a new town and what its style should be. Now he feels that the style of Fantasy Mechanical City can be used as a reference.
While Angel was in a daze, Farina had already stepped onto the metal stairs.
Angel also followed.
What is a little different from the last time I came back to the Fantasy Mechanical City is that this time there are no talkative mechanical birds, no brass-skinned mechanical lions, and affectionate spinning dancers chanting next to them... because these objects I saw last time,
In fact, they were all sorted out by Dean Muse.
Now that Dean Muse has entered a state of seclusion, these objects have naturally ceased.
According to Falina, it was precisely because Dean Muse was in retreat that she came to Fantasy Mechanical City, otherwise she would be annoyed to death.
Soon, Falina brought Angel to her residence. The outside looked normal, just a metal gear gate. But when Angel walked in along the corridor, he found that he seemed to have arrived.
An aquarium.
The three walls are made of transparent glass with metal rims. Behind the glass are the blue ocean, corals, reefs, underwater features, and various strange marine life, making people feel like they are in the sea.
In the center of the aquarium, the ground is covered with a plush blanket with pearls embroidered on the edge. On the blanket, there is a small table with exquisite tea sets. The teapot that previously contained the otter Gulu has also been placed.
on the table.
After sitting down, Farina poured Angel a cup of tea.
Angel thanked him, looked at the teacup hesitantly, and finally took a sip.
The fragrance of flowers and plants came to his nostrils. Just one sip made Angel feel a clear and refreshing feeling all over his body.
"How about it? It doesn't smell like bath water, right?" Farina said suddenly.
Angel smiled awkwardly. Apparently, Farina saw Angel's inner struggle at Granny Nail's place before.
Farina patted the spout of the teapot, and the otter Gulu came out of the tiny spout, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, his little eyes rolling around, and his mouth purring.
This picture inexplicably reminded Angel of the story of Aladdin's magic lamp that Jon told him when he was a child, in which a genie emerged from an old oil lamp.
"Gulu is a strange demon otter. He has spatial attributes, loves to be clean, and likes to plant flowers. You see him living in a teapot, but that's not the case. He has a small garden in the teapot that is similar to a different dimension.
Take care of the tea fields there."
"So, you don't have to worry about the tea being the bath water."
Falina talked about some more things about Gulu, and at the end of the conversation, she suddenly said: "Speaking of which, the person Gulu is most afraid of happens to be Sumishi from your Phantom Island lineage."
Although Falina didn't say why Gulu was afraid of Sumishi, Angel could basically guess the answer.
Sumishi is a tea addict. Gulu's scented tea is indeed very likely to be coveted by Sumishi. It is even possible that Sumishi covets not only scented tea, but also Gulu who grows tea...
They briefly chatted about Gulu and Flower Tea, and when the atmosphere became a little more heated, they finally got to the point.
Angel: "Wifet has really lowered his demands?"
Angel still remembered that Wei Feite had categorically said before that he would not lower his demands. He even said that he would consider using a drop of constant debris in exchange, which shows how tightly he held the roll of luck.
"Yes." Falina smiled: "Actually, when I contacted him, he took the initiative to ask about you before I even said my intention."
Although Angel has not officially appeared yet, the influence of the article published by "Your Grandpa Stone" in "Sky of Truth" has radiated to Sidimosa.
Falina was a little surprised that Wifet would pay such attention to Angel.
When Wifet got the exact answer from Falina, that Angel had not only become an official wizard, but also a member of the R&D Institute, he fell silent.
Falina took this opportunity to mention Angel's search for the Lucky Scroll, and then asked about Wei Feite's story.
After thinking for a long time, Wifet gave Falina a reply.
He doesn't need constant debris, but he has to do a very important experiment recently, which requires the use of the forehead middle eye of the White-cheeked Demon.
Angel: "You mean, use "the middle eye of the white-cheeked demon" in exchange for him?"
Falina nodded: "I guess he intends to seek the answer to the true knowledge through some kind of bloodline method. The forehead and middle eyes of the white-cheeked demon are indeed very consistent with his abilities."
"Although the 'White Cheek Demon's Forehead Eye' is still very valuable, it is almost as valuable as the Scroll of Luck. He is willing to lower his standards, presumably because he made the decision after knowing about your promotion."
In other words, Wifet gave up his previous stubbornness and wanted to use this to establish a relationship with Angel.
Angel also understands Wifet's thoughts, but even if he lowers the standard, this "white-cheeked demon's forehead and middle eye" is not so easy to obtain...
The Domain Demon is a kind of monster that likes to live in the cracks of space.
It is no longer easy to encounter domain demons in the endless cracks of space, and white-cheeked domain demons are still the rarest species among domain demons.
Angel has also visited many wizard fairs and seen many auctions. He also looked at some collections of items from major auctions in Sanders' library.
There are very few demonic things left in the realm.
In recent years, it seems that no one has ever obtained the White Cheek Demon.
