Although Laplace was talking about Ermi, Angel noticed that this was the first time that Laplace explained the meaning of "reflection of the heart" so clearly.
The reflection in the heart seems to be really different from the "prophecy" they imagined.
It is named "Reflection of the Heart" because in Laplace's eyes, what she sees is what everyone's heart desires.
This kind of "what the heart wants" and "what is in the heart" are two different things.
What you think in your heart is a person's subjective thought. You must be able to detect what you think and it belongs to the category of your own self.
The direction of the heart may not be noticed by the self. It is more like some trivial thoughts hidden deep in the sea of subconsciousness. These thoughts may not form complete thoughts, but they are likely to be the most touching thoughts.
The self-awareness part.
If you go one step further, it belongs to the "superego", which is a kind of deep feeling. It is an inspiration for why wizards can always seek good luck and avoid bad luck.
The reflection of the mind most likely reflects the thoughts between the ego and the superego.
This kind of thought does not require you to have subjective thoughts at all. As long as you still have vital signs, then the trivial thoughts hidden deep in the sea of consciousness will definitely be reflected.
Just like Ermi, even if he has no subjective consciousness, even if he is controlled by the seeds of distortion, those subconscious desires are still reflected in Laplace's eyes and interpreted by her.
Angel didn't know whether his understanding was correct, but from what Laplace said, the reflection of the heart was most likely what he had guessed.
"Only in the chaotic embers can one see a faint chance of rebirth." Angel said these words: "Is this the way out for Ermi?"
Laplace didn't respond because she didn't know.
Angel thought for a while: "Are you sure that this is what Ermi thinks deep in his heart?"
Laplace nodded this time: "His external thinking is in a contradiction between chaos and order, but his subconscious is gradually gathering, trying to break through the blockade of thinking and convey the desired information to the outside world."
However, what Laplace did not say is that without the reflection of her heart, it would be impossible for Ermi to break through the thought blockade. Because the ability of the twisted seed is too strong, it directly blocks all possibilities for Ermi.
.
The appearance of Laplace instead revealed to Ermi the desperate longing deep in the sea of his subconscious.
However, it is currently unknown how to fulfill its desire and awaken Ermi again.
Also, if Ermi really awakens again, what the consequences will be is currently unknown.
Angel pondered for a moment, not knowing what to think.
Perhaps as he had thought before, only by meeting Mr. Fei again could there be a sequel. After all, in Angel's interpretation, the "so-called embers of chaos" pointed to Mr. Fei, or rather
...the source of chaos.
While Angel was thinking, Laplace said: "Now, it's your turn to answer me."
Angel came back to his senses and subconsciously wanted to ask, isn't there another speed spirit that didn't give him a message? But when he thought about it, the speed spirit was not attached to him at all, but to the alchemy puppet, which Laplace regarded as
"Outsiders" are also normal.
As for Su Ling's gift... it doesn't matter if you want it or not. I guess it's the same as Dangros and the Wood Spirit, and there's no reflection. Only people like Ermi, who seem to be closely related to Angel, can be confused because of their own thinking.
, without thinking about Angel at all, only then could Laplace read out the message.
So, how should he answer Laplace now?
Angel's previous guesses were mainly: Green Pattern, Origin Fire, Bloody Night Shelter, Wilderness of Dreams and Eye from the Sky.
If the reflection of the heart has nothing to do with the prophecy, then perhaps "Blood Night Asylum" can be ruled out.
After all, the Blood Night Asylum mainly protects against prophecies... However, Angel calmed down and thought about it carefully, and felt that it was not necessarily true.
Although the main function of Blood Night Asylum is to prevent being locked by the prophecy ability, it also has the ability to prevent snooping. Could it be that the anti-spying ability works?
If prying eyes block the reflection of the heart, then the possibility of blood-night protection is higher than previously thought.
Except for Bloody Night Shelter, among the other answers, source fire should be able to be eliminated.
If the reflection of the heart is looking at the subconscious thoughts in the heart, then it is basically impossible for the source fire to work. The source fire was hidden by Angel in the mark of fire on the earlobe. In a sense, the source fire does not
It has not been integrated with Angel, nor does it have the ability to become Angel. It has no deep connection with Angel. It is a complete "thing outside the body".
To put it bluntly, Angel is currently just a safe deposit box for Yuan Huo.
Since the reflection of the heart involves the inside, external things will basically not play a role.
Even if the Source Fire can be ruled out, the Eye from Beyond the Sky... probably has no deep connection with Angel, so it can be ruled out, right?
Then the range of answers is much narrower...
Angel pondered for a moment and then said: "I have a very special alchemy tool on me."
When Angel said these words, no one present was surprised. Who is Angel? A member of the R&D Institute! Isn't it normal for him to have special alchemy tools?
But, what kind of alchemy tool can block Laplace's heart reflection?
Laplace also looked at Angel up and down with curious eyes, seeming to be searching for what the alchemy tool Angel was talking about.
Angel hesitated for a moment, stretched out his right hand, and tapped the teardrop-like bloody glass on his left shoulder.
With Angel's touch, the glass dissipated like water, and a large area of pitch-black color erupted from the inside. At first, it was just a dark and deep abyss, but it soon swelled with the wind, and finally formed a stream that seemed to be flowing.
Black cloak.
Black brocade and gold pattern, red bottom liner.
Although the cloak didn't look very gorgeous at first glance, the moment Angel put it on, the aura around him gradually changed.
"My lord seems to be... looming?" Kael whispered.
Faintly or vaguely was the word that Kael thought was most appropriate after racking his brains.
In Vai's view: "Compared to being looming, I feel like the adult's presence seems to have disappeared."
Doakes muttered from the side: "His sense of existence is lower than others, but you only realize it now?"
Under the influence of boundless silence, Angel's sense of existence has actually been very low. However, perhaps Vai has always regarded Angel as an idol, and the influence of boundless silence did not have much effect on Vai.
But at this time, after being protected by the bloody night, the sense of "hiddenness and alienation" in the boundless silence was once again amplified. Even as a little fanboy, Vai would immediately ignore it as long as he took his eyes away from Angel.
his existence.
At this time, the voice of the Black Earl reached everyone's ears.
"It's not hiding, nor reducing the sense of existence, but it's like entering the gap between time and space." The Black Earl paused, and then thought about the wording: "In other words, he entered an angle that was left behind by fate."
The Black Earl's words were a bit obscure, and the two apprentices were still confused after hearing them. But what Laplace said in the prism was very straightforward.
Laplace: "Is this an alchemical tool to prevent prophecy?"
"Yes." Angel nodded and glanced sideways at Dangros who was happily playing with his cloak. He originally wanted to take it off, but after thinking about it, he opened the Blood Night Asylum before.
At that time, Dangross happened to wake up from his "practice". He felt a little guilty, so he simply turned a blind eye and pretended not to see Dangross's naughty behavior.
Laplace frowned for the first time, with a look of displeasure on his face: "I have said before that the reflection of the heart is not a prophecy. Even if you have tools or abilities to prevent prophecy, you cannot resist the reflection of the heart."
Alchemy tools to prevent prophecy can be said to be extremely rare in the outside world. They are priceless treasures. Everyone present understands its value, but Laplace is right. No matter how rare this cloak is, it can
It can only target the power of prophecy, then it is not the answer Laplace is looking for.
They all understand, doesn’t Angel understand?
Everyone looked at Angel, wanting to hear Angel's explanation.
Angel raised his eyes and looked directly at Laplace, with a calm look on his face: "I said before that I had several alternative answers in my mind at the time, and I would choose one of them to tell you. At that time, I couldn't judge yet.
The reflection of the heart is not a prophecy. And this cloak is indeed among my alternative answers."
Laplace could see that Angel was not lying, but this explanation still made her a little unacceptable. She just felt...
"Strong words make sense."
Angel did not look away, and his tone remained calm: "I'm just telling you this fact."
After a pause, Angel wanted to see if Laplace would continue to get angry, but unfortunately, Laplace didn't show too much expression anymore, but looked at Angel with a harder look than before.
More indifferent.
Angel sighed softly in his heart, and then said the key point: "I also understand what you mean. The reason why I still take out the Blood Night Asylum is that it has a deeper meaning... Uh, blood
Night Shelter is the name I gave this cloak."
Angel's sudden turn made everyone look "sure enough".
Laplace was stunned for a moment: "A deeper meaning? What does it mean?"
Angel: "This cloak is a prop that I refined a few years ago. The refining was very successful. When I carved the magic energy array on it, the alchemical omen came as expected."
At this point, Laplace still didn't hear anything unusual. The only valid information was that the person in front of him was an alchemist.
As for other alchemical signs, even if Laplace had never been to the wizarding world, he knew that this was a very common sign.
When Laplace was doubtful, Angel continued: "I thought this time's alchemical omen was similar to the previous ones. I was even prepared to compete with the 'Prophet' based on previous experience. . ”
As long as there are props related to prophecy, there will basically be some "prophet"-like existence in the omens. Sometimes this "prophet" is not a person, but an object, or it may be a long road. It predicts you, And you need to predict its predictions.
Angel shrugged: "But, I didn't meet the 'prophet', I saw... the long river of destiny."
The River of Destiny belongs to one of the three mainstream schools of prophetic wizards. The Sanctuary of the Blood Night involves the obstruction of prophecies. It is not surprising that the River of Destiny appears among the omens.
"On the edge of the river of destiny, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I became the Hunchback of Notre Dame. The period of becoming the Hunchback of Notre Dame was actually quite difficult. I won't describe the process. Anyway, I went through it. It took a full five years... Well, time in the Omen is different from the outside world. Five years later, I finally escaped from the Hunchback of Notre Dame and returned to the outside world..."
"The outside world I'm talking about here is not the reality, but the river of destiny before I fell asleep."
Having said that, Angel's omen is not too far removed from reality.
But what’s a bit strange is that five years have passed since a strange omen? Even five years in a strange omen is quite long.
Also, after five years, I thought I had escaped the nightmare of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, but I still haven’t escaped from the omen and returned to reality. This is also unheard of.
Are there any alchemical omens or serial omens?
Angel: "I just stood on the river bank in a daze for a while, and the long river of fate rolled away in front of my eyes. When I came back to my senses, the long river of fate was no longer in front of my eyes, and I also came from the river bank to the unknown void. And a huge clock appeared in front of me. The hands in the roulette wheel were ticking along with the rotation of the gears."
Doakes: "The clock you're talking about is..."
Angel: "The Wheel of Time."
Everyone was actually guessing whether it would be the Wheel of Time, but they didn't expect it to be.
You must know that River of Destiny and Wheel of Time both belong to the three major schools of prophecy.
Angel once made an omen in alchemy and directly encountered the River of Destiny and the Wheel of Time? Could it be that he would also encounter the String of the World next? Will the three major schools take turns to attack Angel?
If this is the case, then this alchemical omen is somewhat interesting.
Including Laplace, everyone's curiosity was aroused. However, the development of the facts was different from what they imagined.
Angel: "On that huge wheel of time, I saw a human figure."
"He told me that I made a choice when I became the Hunchback of Notre Dame. And he planned to take away the other choice."
When it came to this, no one reacted at first, until Doakes exclaimed: "You mean, he stole your choice?"
Stealing the choice? This sounds familiar... They seem to know who Angel met.
If it were him, it would really be possible to subvert all "normality".
Laplace: "His name is..."
Angel: "His real name is very long...but if you read enough and remember it, you should have heard of his other name. A name that is spread throughout the boundless world."
