Chapter 2872 The newborn will eventually become a king
Looking at the hidden door that slowly opened, Angel couldn't help but have a look of surprise in his eyes.
You know, the first time he entered this tree house, he used his mental power to check the surrounding layout, and there was no trace of anything extraordinary.
There are no mechanisms or magic patterns.
But what was before him now, whether it was the self-illuminating bird that used itself as a lamp, or the hidden door that led to nowhere, all showed that this place was not as ordinary as it seemed on the surface.
But why couldn't he detect anything strange here before?
"You don't have to be surprised. When the wise man came here for the first time, he didn't find the mechanism here." Laplace said softly: "If I didn't control this space and asked me to find it, I wouldn't know where the mechanism is.
Place."
Angel hesitated for a moment: "You haven't even noticed it. Could it be that... this mechanism is actually mobile?"
Laplace was stunned for a moment and looked at Angel with interest: "How did you guess that the mechanism was moving?"
Angel: "There was no trace of the mechanism before. Either the mechanism was not found due to lack of strength, or the mechanism was not here in the first place."
"Since even the wise master didn't find the mechanism when he first came, then the only answer is the latter."
This is indeed Angel's reasoning logic. However, he was able to think of this immediately because he encountered a moving mechanism when he went to the Snooker base not long ago. If he hadn't taken over the base laboratory
The magic energy array might be trapped there.
He had just learned a lesson. No matter how ignorant Angel was, he would not forget it as soon as he turned the page.
Laplace showed a look of realization: "In terms of quick thinking, you are very similar to a wise man. The wise man also judged immediately that the mechanism is moving."
After praising him, Laplace said: "You are right, the mechanism itself is mobile. The mechanism here is hidden in the roots of the big tree. Only when the bird light is on, the big tree will move.
The mechanism is lifted from the undetectable root to the position where the bird's lamp is."
Laplace said as he walked towards the hidden door: "Although this is the case, I still don't know how the big tree achieves this mechanism. Based on the joint guesses of the wise man and I, we finally agreed that maybe it is
The big tree has intelligence in reality."
"Reflection space can bring in energy and unenlightened things, but enlightened creatures cannot be reflected unless they actively pull the other party in."
"When I discovered this mirror memory, it had been floating in the empty mirror sea for some time. There is no way to directly use the mirror memory to pull the creatures in the place corresponding to the mirror into the space."
When Laplace said this, he sighed with regret: "If the big tree really has intelligence, as long as it can be pulled into the reflection space, maybe you can know the secrets here."
Laplace was feeling regretful at this moment, but if there really was a situation where creatures could be pulled into the reflected space, it would actually be equivalent to pulling real creatures into the mirror realm.
This is not like Angel's Dream Wilderness, which is just a dream wandering, but actually violently pulling a creature from another world into the Mirror Realm.
This requires strong strength as a foundation.
Moreover, Laplace fights "away" and pulls the creatures at "home" into the Mirror Realm. In terms of strength comparison, Laplace itself has to lose three points.
Angel didn't know whether the special creatures in a special place were strong or not, but if they really tried to fight, they might not be able to be brought back to the Mirror Realm by Laplace.
Laplace: "However, even though the intelligence of the big tree has not been pulled into the reflection space, some unique rules are still followed here. As long as the bird light is on, the mechanism will be opened."
To put it simply, it doesn't matter if you don't have the intelligence to control the movement of the mechanism. With "muscle memory", as long as the mechanism is correct, the mechanism can continue to operate.
…
Angel followed Laplace into the hidden door.
Behind the door is an upward spiral staircase.
Laplace walked in front and said as he walked: "You should have seen just now that there are actually quite a few tree holes outside. The interiors of these tree holes are probably similar to the layout of the rooms we just saw."
"Most tree holes have mechanisms. They can be connected to a hall."
"This is it."
Laplace stopped and looked forward. Angel followed Laplace's line of sight and saw that the spiral staircase had reached the end. Directly in front of them was a path about five or six meters.
At the end of the path is a spacious hall.
The hall is still dark and it is difficult to see the specific situation clearly, but Angel guesses that the so-called "murals" should be in this hall.
"There are five such halls in total inside the tree trunk. They are about the same size and have similar interior furnishings. The only difference is that the murals inside are different."
Angel: "In other words, including the mural on the top of the tree, there are six murals in total?"
Laplace nodded: "Yes. So even though there are many tree holes outside, they are actually connected to these five halls, and there are only six murals."
This is good, at least you don’t need to run around to see the murals, and you don’t need to spend too much time.
But then again, this arrangement should have some meaning.
Angel proposed this idea, and Laplace also agreed: "The wise man also said something similar. His guess was that there might be a certain ethnic group living in this big tree, and this ethnic group has a common belief.
And the hall connected from the hole in the tree at home is a place of worship for their common faith."
"Of course, it is also possible that these halls have different functions, including sacrifices, transactions, exchanges and even friendships."
Generally speaking, the five halls are the public places for this group of people who live in big trees.
However, the specific function is currently unknown.
With thoughts in mind, Angel and Laplace walked into the first hall.
After walking in, Laplace waved gently, and along the stairs they came from before, little birds riding on the beige wind kept flying in. As soon as they entered, they immediately jumped into the shell grids on both sides of the wall.
Become a bird lamp.
A large number of bird lights light up together, illuminating the hall extremely brightly.
As the lights turned on, Angel also saw the so-called "murals".
Unlike the murals that Angel imagined, the murals here are only on one wall. Moreover, the murals have a beautiful wooden frame, which looks like an ordinary appreciation painting.
It's just that this appreciation painting is very large, occupying almost three-quarters of the wall.
As for the content of the painting... it's as abstract and incomprehensible as ever.
However, one thing is worthy of attention. The mural is still carved, which causes the picture itself to have ups and downs. It is very similar to the mural on the top of the tree, both of which produce obvious light and shadow.
But the light and shadow on the top of the tree depends on the light source from the sky. But the light and shadow on the mural here comes from the bird lights densely covered on the wall of the hall.
Laplace had been paying attention to Angel's gaze. Seeing his gaze shift from the carvings to the bird lamp on the wall, he asked curiously: "Or is it light and shadow?"
Angel: "I don't know, I have to try it first."
Laplace: "How to try?"
Angel thought for a moment and simulated the mural through illusion. At the same time, twelve lights were distributed around the mural, which also corresponded to the twelve bird lights in the hall.
Angel began to try to turn off some lights to distinguish between light and shadow.
As the lights went out one by one, Angel discovered that according to the layout, these twelve lights happened to be in the four directions of the mural, with three lights in each direction. And the turning on and off of these three lights only affected the four directions of the mural.
one part.
This makes the exploration of light and shadow easier.
Angel began to try different combinations, and finally presented the most regular light and shadow changes.
When Angel accelerated "time", the light and shadow in the illusion changed extremely quickly, which turned the abstract lines into a "story".
When Laplace saw this scene, he couldn't help but be surprised: "This is...the throne?"
At first glance, the light and shadow appear to be indeed a throne.
Moreover, this throne is more obvious than the previous "Swaddle", almost to the point of being recognized at a glance.
However, there is an obvious protruding shadow outline on the armrest of the throne, and the shadow is much deeper, unlike the shadow of the throne itself.
"...This should be a person sitting on the throne?" Angel hesitated for a while and guessed.
Laplace looked at it carefully for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "It seems to be true...but, what does this mean?"
Angel thought of the mural on the top of the tree. If the mural was finally confirmed to be "Swaddling Baby", could it be interpreted as——
"The newborn will eventually become a king?"
After hearing what Angel said, Laplace thought: "You mean, the baby in the swaddling clothes slowly grows up and eventually becomes a king."
Angel nodded.
Laplace: "This logic makes sense. As far as I know, similar legendary growth stories often appear in murals. However, we have to look at several other murals to see if this is the case."
The topmost mural and the bottom mural are the beginning and end of the story described in the mural.
Then, other murals should be all about "the process of growth".
"Can I simulate the murals in other places through illusions, or are you going to see it yourself?" Laplace has now been able to confirm that the puzzle of the murals may really be related to light and shadow. Now that Angel has cracked this
There is no need to look at the puzzle, she can completely simulate the mural.
Angel: "We have to go back to the top of the tree anyway, so we won't waste much time to see it with our own eyes."
Laplace nodded: "Then let's go."
They did not return the same way, but Laplace found a hidden door somewhere, went up the stairs, and soon emerged from a tree hole.
After carefully screening it, Laplace took Angel to another tree hole at a slightly higher position.
Just like the situation just now, the bird light opened the way, the hidden door was opened, and everyone came to the second hall in the big tree.
The layout here is almost the same as the first hall. The only difference is the location of the bird lamp.
"There is a difference in the position of the bird lamp. I have noticed it before, but I have never thought about the changes in light and shadow." Laplace looked at the bird lamp with a somewhat frustrated tone.
Angel did not answer, because according to his idea, the wise master should be able to see this change in light and shadow. He did not tell Laplace, maybe he had his intentions and thoughts.
He now told Laplace the answer, which to some extent broke the situation maintained by the wise man.
Angel doesn't know whether this is good or bad.
What Angel thinks now is to pretend that he doesn't know anything and is just here to solve the mystery...
Angel immersed himself in silently sorting out the illusion, arranging the bird lamps, trying to find the best light and shadow logic.
Because this was not the first time he had done this kind of thing, Angel was very good at analyzing it.
After a while, a picture composed of rapidly changing time and light and shadow appeared in the illusion.
If you look at this picture alone, you may still be a little confused. But if you think of the previous throne, this picture becomes much clearer.
——A "person" walking towards the throne.
Whether it is a "person" or not is not certain. We can only say that there is an outline of a person. However, it looks like this "person" is very bloated and seems to be wearing armor. He also holds a spear-like weapon in his hand.
"It seems you are right...the newborn will eventually become a king." Laplace looked at the picture and whispered.
Next, they continued moving forward and soon came to the third hall.
Just like before, Angel was still preparing to solve the problem silently using light and shadow.
However, at this moment, Laplace suddenly showed hesitation. After thinking for a moment, he said to Angel: "I already have some preliminary news about the dreaming problem you mentioned.
Do you want to listen now?"
"Or should I wait until my current identity is thoroughly investigated before I tell you all about it?"
Angel's expression paused. According to his opinion, it might take several days or even months for Laplace to investigate the dreaming situation of the creature in the mirror.
Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, Laplace already had preliminary news.
This speed was much faster than he imagined.
Angel thought for a moment and nodded to Laplace: "Now."
Since Laplace brought it up now, she must have made some discoveries. Moreover, this discovery was definitely unusual, otherwise she would not have spoken in such a hurry.
Sure enough, after pondering for a moment, Laplace said to Angel: "The first place Luigi went to was the Tooth Fairy Paradise. It is a special space in the Mirror Realm. It is not big, but it is more stable.
And the people living there are very small tooth fairies. He used to occasionally sing poems in the tooth fairy paradise. Therefore, the little tooth fairies in the tooth fairy paradise all have a good impression of Luigi. Some of Luigi's questions,
They are also happy to answer.”
"According to the information Luigi inquired about, the Tooth Fairy born in the past thousand years has slept, but none of them said that they had had dreams."
"Now, Luigi is going to visit the Tooth Fairy Castle under the introduction of a little tooth fairy. There are old tooth fairies who have lived for thousands of years in the tooth fairy castle, and there is also a tooth fairy queen. Maybe they will give different advice.
