"Ritual?" Laplace glanced at the guard lightly: "What ceremony?"
"This... I'm not sure about that either." The guard didn't want to say anything at first, but when Laplace stared at him with his strange eyes, he felt a chill running down his spine. After choking on his saliva, he still spoke.
"Only the people in the Presbyterian Church know the specific ceremony. We are just implementing the blockade management... I don't know anything."
Laplace took a deep look at the guard and did not comment on his words. He just said softly: "No need."
Guard: "???" Why don't you use it?
Seeing the guard's confused face, Luigi sighed and explained: "What she means is that we will not go to the VIP room. However, we had no intention of staying here. Our target is the host of the siege party."
stand."
The guard was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "Oh... oh! Are the guests planning to take the 003 passage to go to the siege party? Then... then please come this way."
Seeing that no one was moving, the guard scratched his temples which were covered by his crystal hat: "I mean, I'm here to lead the distinguished guests."
The duty of the guards is to ensure that there are no foreigners outside the current ring fort. As long as Laplace and others do not stay in the ring fort, they can go to the VIP room or passage 003.
Seeing the diligent performance of the guards, Laplace was silent for a moment and glanced at Angel with his peripheral vision.
Angel obviously noticed Laplace's peripheral vision, and nodded slightly with subtle movements.
Laplace then said: "Okay."
The guard breathed a long sigh of relief and took the initiative to lead everyone towards the next passage.
It wasn't until Angel and others completely disappeared into the dark corridor that the guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then quickly summoned a wisp of floating crystal dust.
——He needs to send a message to the elder who presided over the ceremony through Jingchen.
Even though he was the only one who came to stop Laplace and others, in fact, the other patrolling guards in the ring fort were aware of the situation here, but they just didn't come over.
"The identity of the visitor is unknown, but his strength... is very strong." The guard quickly condensed the crystal dust: "However, their goal is to siege the city and appear in this ring fort. They came through the 013 channel not long ago. They have now entered
Channel 003, you should just pass by."
As the words fell, the condensed crystal dust quickly dissipated.
After the guard finished explaining the situation, he did not let go of his suspenseful heart, but looked nervously at the floating crystal dust.
After a few seconds, the crystal dust floating in the air condensed again.
A message that only the guards could read came through the crystal dust: 'Since you have left, don't pay attention to it. However, pay attention to cleaning up the remaining energy around to ensure that no information is leaked. Be sure to clean it up and return it.
In a few minutes, the heroic spirit of the past is about to be born, and there must be no room for error.'
This is the message from the elders.
The guard immediately said: "Understood."
After finishing speaking, the guards began to summon other companions to clean up all the pheromones and possible remaining energy left by Angel and others.
When they were doing the final cleaning, Laplace's barrier once again enveloped everyone in the dark passage.
Angel looked at Laplace: "Are you sure everything is okay?"
When Angel was asking Laplace, Laplace was staring at a small illusory light screen in the barrier.
This is not the first time Laplace has seen a screen simulated by illusion. She has seen it many times before in the Dream Crystal.
According to Angel, this is called - fantasy live broadcast.
Fantasy live broadcast is divided into: holographic live broadcast and light screen live broadcast.
Holographic live broadcast is similar to a shadow box, allowing you to immerse yourself in the host's current situation; while light screen live broadcast is similar to watching a movable two-dimensional picture book.
There is no doubt that nowadays it is live broadcast with light screen.
The light screen was currently showing the current situation of the ring fort: a group of guards were cleaning up any traces they might have left.
The reason why Angel asked "Are you sure everything is okay?" was because he saw these guards cleaning up the traces and was worried that the illusion nodes he left behind would be discovered.
The illusion node left by Angel is on a mirror arranged by Laplace.
Yes, Laplace left a mirror on the scene.
Moreover, this mirror is suspended directly above the ring fort.
Before, Angel and Laplace exchanged glances for this reason.
In Angel's opinion, the location of the mirror is a bit too obvious. If his illusion node is attached to the mirror, will it really not be discovered?
Laplace said lightly: "The mirror you see is what I want you to see. It actually does not exist in this space..."
As Laplace explained, Angel gradually understood the principle.
The mirror placed by Laplace is actually in a deeper space...if we use an analogy, it is similar to a spatial mezzanine.
The number of mezzanine spaces is nearly infinite.
Therefore, even if the Jingmu clan discovers it, they may not be able to find the corresponding mezzanine space.
"The mirror is arranged in the mezzanine space, but it can reflect the real scene... Is this similar to the corridor in the mirror?" Angel asked curiously.
The corridor in the mirror is located on the mezzanine, and you can still see the situation outside in the corridor. But people outside cannot see the situation in the corridor in the mirror.
Laplace: "The effect is similar, but more hidden."
The corridor in the mirror cannot be seen with the naked eye, but the fluctuations of the aggregate energy will penetrate from the interlayer into reality and can be sensed. Therefore, it is not considered hidden, and any creature in the mirror with a little strength can detect it.
But the mirror that Laplace is releasing now is hidden in a deeper place and will not emit polymerization energy, so it will basically not be discovered.
Therefore, Angel was worried that the illusion node would be noticed and cleared by the guards, which was impossible.
This is indeed the case. The guards of the ring fort have cleaned up the so-called "remaining traces", but they have not discovered the "mirror" at high altitude at all.
Through the live broadcast, Angel has seen the guards using crystal dust to report to unknown people, indicating that the traces have been removed.
Not long after, all the guards dispersed and resumed patrolling. Apparently, the mirror in mid-air had been completely ignored by them.
After confirming that the live broadcast would not be affected, Angel breathed a sigh of relief and had enough energy to ask some unrelated topics: "Did the guards of the Jingmu tribe send messages through the scattered crystal dust?"
Angel noticed that the guard used the condensed crystal dust to send messages several times in a row. However, Angel was able to collect relevant signals through the live broadcast of the content of the message sent by the guard. However, he completely collected the reply from the other side of the crystal dust.
No information found.
However, the guards could understand the meaning of the gathered crystal dust, which made Angel quite curious.
Luigi: "The Crystal Eyes do rely on the gathering and dispersion of crystal dust to transmit information. They have their own methods to understand the meaning of the gathered crystal dust... But for foreigners, it is difficult to interpret
of."
This is similar to "racial talent". The bodies of the Jingmu tribe are made of crystals, and their understanding and recognition of crystals are stronger than all other races. Therefore, they can understand the meaning of crystal dust, but
Others cannot obtain any information from the crystal dust.
Angel nodded in understanding. To put it bluntly, without a physiological structure and living environment similar to that of the Jingmu tribe, it would be impossible to understand the meaning of crystal dust.
The live broadcast is still going on.
The picture is still similar to the previous one. There are still no outsiders in the ring fort, but there are many more patrolling guards on each floor.
On the lowest floor in the center of the ring fort, the oval mirror filled with crystal dust is still constantly pouring out new crystal dust.
Judging from the situation during the live broadcast, the most likely place for something to happen in the ring fort is the oval mirror... Perhaps the "ritual" mentioned by the guard is also related to this mirror?
Because the live broadcast screen did not change much, Angel once again set his sights on Laplace.
"You seem to care about their rituals?" Angel asked curiously.
This live broadcast itself was an accident.
Laplace first released the suspended mirror, and then asked Angel if he wanted to watch a good show. Then Angel released the illusion node and started this live broadcast.
Therefore, the real proposer of live broadcast is Laplace.
Although Angel was curious about this so-called ritual of the Jingmu clan, he was not so strong that he wanted to peep.
Therefore, Angel was a little curious, why did Laplace take the initiative to spy on the rituals of the Jingmu tribe? Is it curiosity and wanting to read gossip? Or is there other reasons?
"I don't care, but Graipnir does." Laplace replied: "Gleipnir contacted me before and she has already met Fada."
"As she expected, Farda did not tell her about Lita. However, based on Grapnir's observations and the information that Farda 'occasionally' revealed, it is known that Lita's incident did involve Jingmu.
Some secrets of the clan.”
"After Fada met Gleipnir, she mentioned the ritual intentionally or unintentionally."
You must know that rituals are not a prominent practice in the Mirror Realm, and few races in the mirror hold formal rituals. One second, Gleipnir heard Fada talking about rituals, and the next second he heard about Laplace.
After encountering the ceremony at the ring fort, she naturally thought of it and wanted to know the specific situation.
Therefore, Laplace took the initiative to release the mirror and invited Angel to watch the show.
"In other words, it's not just the three of us watching the live broadcast...Gleipnir is also watching?" Angel asked confused.
Laplace nodded: "Yes, I shared the screen with Gleipnir."
Well, let’s share the live broadcast remotely.
After a moment of silence, Laplace said: "Gleipnir said that if you have any questions, you can ask them before the ceremony starts."
Angel: "She has left Fa Da now?"
Laplace shook his head: "No, she and Farda are in Hilda's study."
After confirming some of his inner thoughts, Graipnir prepared to leave. However, before she said goodbye, Farda invited her to visit Siluda's study.
Based on Graipnir's understanding of Farda, she knew that Farda would definitely not do anything unnecessary.
Now that Farda has spoken, it means that Hilda's study may hide some secrets.
At this time, Gleipnir was rummaging through Hilda's study while watching the live broadcast from a distance.
"It seems like it's not that Fada doesn't want to say it, but that she can't or doesn't dare to say it for some reason?"
Judging from the current situation, Farda wanted to tell Graipnir some truth, otherwise she would not have given various hints and asked Graipnir to go to Hilda's study; but Farda could not say it clearly.
Laplace nodded: "That should be the case. Fada, she should also have her own difficulties."
Angel: "So, has Gleipnir now confirmed the secret behind the Rita incident?"
Laplace: "There are some clues, but there are still some 'puzzle pieces' that have not been completed. However, Gleipnir guessed that there should be remaining puzzle pieces in Hilda's study."
Angel can ask now, or wait until Gleipnir finds the remaining puzzle pieces before asking.
Angel chose the latter. He still wanted to know the exact answer rather than having an ambiguous answer.
Since the secret of the Jingmu Clan could not be confirmed for the time being, Angel asked about another matter that was already considered a final conclusion: the relevant information about Tunita, the prophet of the Jingmu Clan.
Laplace's acquaintance with Tunita was still as he was when he was young. But Graipnir occasionally visited the Crystal Eyes as a guest, and became close friends with Hilda, so he naturally knew some of the history of the Crystal Eyes in detail.
Soon, Gleipnir told what he knew.
However, this time she did not use Laplace's mouth to talk about Tunita; instead, she told Luigi the information, and Luigi talked about "later" Tunita.
Luigi: "After Tunita returned from the Sea of Empty Mirrors, she became the target of public criticism..."
When Luigi was repeating Gleipnir's words, not only Angel was listening, but also Laplace next to him. As the story developed, in Laplace's mind, the image of Tunita gradually
Slowly becoming more specific…
Tunita was the only one who came back alive, so he naturally became the target of encirclement and suppression. Parents who had lost their cubs, as well as careerists eager to know the secrets of the Sea of Empty Mirrors, all surrounded Tunita and threatened him.
In this case, Tunita was in a huge dilemma.
However, Tunita finally responded to the problems of the outside world as the "Hollow Man".
Although, in this process, he was inevitably treated as a pawn, but in the end he survived.
After decades of silence, Tunita developed many projects that were useful to the Jingmu clan by cooperating with the sages of Piluxiu at that time. Tunita was also spotted by an elder of the Jingmu clan at that time, and the figure was
Nita was elevated from a commoner to the status of a great scholar.
From great scholar to elder, and from elder to prophet.
Tunita took two hundred years.
The struggle here cannot be explained clearly in a few words. However, what we can know is that Tunita works very hard... But what puzzles many Jingmu people is that any effort needs a goal. Tunita
Ta's efforts don't seem to have a clear goal? He is not doing it for himself or his future, which is evident from the fact that he has abandoned his status as an elder and prophet countless times.
No one knows what goals he strives for.
Later, Tunita invented the Crystal Shell, which gave the Crystal Eyes a terrifying defense capability and opened a new generation of the Crystal Eyes.
That year, Tunita was known as the greatest prophet of the Jingmu tribe.
It was also in that year that Tunita started the expansion and renovation of Crystal City. Moreover, the Holy Corpse Crystal was officially born and became the building material of Crystal City.
Hundreds of years later, Tunita died.
The expansion of Crystal City did not end with the death of Tunita. After two thousand years of construction, it experienced the collapse of the mirror and the relocation of cities and places. Today, Crystal City, standing on the frozen soil, has become
