After hearing Laplace's sigh, Angel looked at the copy of Uriel.
Through God's perspective.
After Angel discovered that Luigi was online, he immediately began to use words to test the identities of Mr. Sun and Ms. Moon.
However, it seems that the two leaders of the Sun and Moon Intelligence Agency did not want to reveal their identities and chose to hide it.
When Luigi asked them why they knew so much information, their answer was: "Different locations naturally lead to different information."
Just like a child from a noble family and a child from a common people, even though they are the same age, the former will definitely have an advantage in terms of national intelligence.
"We are backed by the Source World. And the wizards of the Source World are all over the place, so in terms of intelligence alone, we must be stronger than you."
"As for why we know the information about the existence of miracles?"
"Because of curiosity."
Information about the strong, even in daily life, is what those who admire the strong are curious about. Once they have curiosity, they will definitely hope to be satisfied.
So through various collections and inquiries, I naturally pieced together some information.
Although there were some loopholes in Ms. Moon's words, Luigi put himself into it and felt... it made sense.
Just like when he learned that Uriel was from the Dasman Empire, he immediately asked him for information about artists from the Dasman Empire.
Why do you want to ask about strangers who are beyond your reach? Because you are curious.
So, after listening to Ms. Moon's "quibbles", Luigi Qianqian believed her.
Coupled with the fact that they themselves chose to conceal their identities, Luigi's suspicions were at least 80% relieved.
Seeing this, Angel also withdrew his gaze.
"Don't worry, there is always someone secretly carrying his suspicions."
Laplace: "???"
Angel didn't intend to play the Riddler, so he told what he had just seen in the Uriel instance.
After hearing this, Laplace also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his suspicions were dispelled, that would be fine.
It's not that I didn't tell Luigi, it's just that he is now the only channel to communicate with the Sun and Moon Intelligence Agency, and they get along very well now.
If Luigi knew their identities, it would be a bit difficult to maintain the current harmonious communication.
Because Luigi's conversation can be deformed, the Sun and Moon Intelligence Agency may not be willing to share secret information so easily.
Therefore, it is better to continue to hide it for a while.
"By the way, did Luigi ask you what happened outside?"
Laplace nodded: "Asked, and I also shared the information on the Star Sea Train with him."
Because of this, Luigi was diverted and did not excessively question the identities of the sun and moon wizards in reality.
Laplace wondered: "You ask this, was this information originally intended to be concealed from him?"
Angel shook his head: "No, it's just that Luigi asked me just now. In order to rush for time, I asked him to go offline to share his mind with you."
"Also, just now Ms. Moon asked Luigi why she suddenly asked about the Star Sea Train."
"Luigi said it was 'just curiosity'."
Angel shrugged: "But I feel like Ms. Moon doesn't believe it."
Laplace: "Luigi also told me when he went offline just now. The black cat Juanjuan seems to be suspicious of him, because ordinary people who want to know about the Xinghai Train will not specifically ask about the platform."
"Perhaps they are now wondering whether Luigi encountered the platform of the Star Sea Train?"
Angel sighed softly: "Forget it, if Luigi insists on not letting go, they will not continue to ask questions in order to increase their recognition."
Laplace was silent for a moment, and did not look at this topic again, but changed the topic: "Have you finished collecting the materials over there?"
Angel nodded: "Well, I have collected all the materials that can be collected outside."
He took out a big bag and motioned to put everything in it.
Laplace: "Then let's go in?"
Angel nodded, and under the halo of words, their figures slowly disappeared from outside the copy of Uriel.
When their weightless bodies regained their balance, they had arrived at the "Glutton's Feast" text space. The location was exactly the same as the lobby on the first floor where they had left.
“Text space can also record entry and exit locations?”
"You can choose to enter through the gate of the manor, or you can choose to enter the location where you last left." Laplace said.
If this is the first time you enter the text space, you can only enter through the manor gate.
"This is quite convenient, but why do I feel that the text space has reproduced the power of the Gate of Wonderland..." Angel muttered in a low voice, without saying anything else, and walked towards the roof of the building with Laplace
.
Soon, they arrived at the roof of the villa.
It is said to be the roof, but in fact it is just the roof of the front building. This villa is formed by five buildings gathered together. The roof of the tallest building is comparable to a tower. The remaining buildings have the lowest three floors and the highest
It's five floors.
And the roof of the building they are currently on is actually the roof of the lowest building, which is exactly three floors.
There are four-story buildings on both sides, and a five-story building behind it.
They are right in the middle of "".
Originally this was a sun terrace with a clothes-drying pole, but at this time, all the clothes-drying areas were vacated, exposing the open space in the center.
In the open space, Gleipnir and Starworm had been waiting for a long time.
When they saw Angel and others arriving, they immediately greeted them.
Starworm was asking if all the materials were ready. Angel didn't say anything and directly handed him the bag full of materials. Then he passed the Starworm and came to the center of the open space.
Angel had discovered before that there was an additional circular altar.
From the words floating above the circular altar, we can know that this altar is a creation of words.
"Altar: a double-layered altar with an owl pattern engraved on it..."
Look carefully.
This is a double-layered altar. The diameter of the bottom layer is two meters, and the diameter of the top layer is about 47 centimeters.
There are some carvings in the shape of birds on the outer ring of the bottom layer. If you look closely, you can see that almost all of them are different types of owls.
There are white spots on the back and a head like a monkey's face.
There are also fish owls with round eyes, flapping their wings and carrying fish in their mouths.
There is also the giant eagle owl flying across the sky, spreading its wings to cover the sky.
Each owl species is vividly depicted, as if it were a real existence. Angel probably counted seven species of owls.
If you know something about owls, you will find that the staple food of these owls happens to be the materials that Angel collected before.
The top floor of the altar, the inner ring, is empty without any carvings. The only thing worth mentioning is that there is a round hole in the center of the inner ring, which seems to be used to insert something.
Overall, this double-layered altar looks very exquisite.
Especially the carvings on the outer ring...
"I remember that you said before that the altar required for the ceremony only requires a double-layered altar, and there are no other decorative requirements..." Angel looked at the star bug: "Why is it all carved with this owl pattern now?"
Starworm paused and explained softly: "Because the ritual altar given before is itself simplified."
As for why it is simplified?
There are two reasons. The first is that they are worried that Angel and others are not good at drawing. Instead of drawing randomly, it is better not to draw at all. The second is that even if Angel and others can draw carvings, Starworm is also worried about the owl pattern drawn. Irregular and informal.
For these two reasons, Starworm simplified the ritual.
Simplifying the ritual itself will not have much impact. At most, there may be some damage when receiving the image of the owl conductor later.
But the image itself is not particularly important, it is just a picture, as long as it does not affect the sound...
Starworm thought very carefully, but who would have expected that this world is actually a world of words. As long as words are described and a little imagination is added, creatures can be created directly.
There was no need for Angel and others to prepare the altar. Gleipnir directly handed the special paper pages to Starworm and asked him to build the altar.
Although it was Starworm's first time to use words to create things, with Gleipnir's demonstration and the "text descriptions" of other word creations around him, the process of building the altar was not a bumpy one.
After only one use, the simplified altar was successfully built.
Because there were still extra special paper pages, Starworm considered trying the original altar.
He has seen the original altar... Although with his handiwork, there is definitely no way to reproduce the original altar, but text creation does not require handwork, only text description and imagination.
Under this circumstance, Starworm knocked down the simplified altar and began to vigorously create the original altar.
After about two or three attempts, I successfully created the original altar.
Not only are the paintings and patterns lifelike, but also the structure of the carvings and the proportions of the inner and outer circles of the altar are in perfect condition.
"That's it..." Starworm explained with some embarrassment: "I don't doubt your ability, I just think that the simplified version of the altar can be prepared faster."
"But who knew that creation of words would be so convenient."
Angel could see the dodge in Starworm's eyes... Even if he didn't doubt it, Starworm still doubted their drawing ability.
But this is normal. After all, we are all strangers and don’t know each other well. Simplifying things as much as possible is a kind of goodwill.
"Now that we are ready, let's hold the ceremony before it gets dark."
This ceremony needs to be held on a cloudy day or at night, which is just the right time.
After Laplace finished speaking, he looked at the starworm.
Starworm pointed at himself: "Shall I come?"
Laplace nodded.
Star Bug thought for a while and said: "I can help prepare the ritual, but before activating the hidden world card in the last step, I need to temporarily avoid it."
The information hidden in the Hidden World Card involves extremely secretive matters.
The Owl Train Conductor did not inform Starworm at the beginning, but stayed in the hidden card, which means that Starworm is not qualified to know about this matter yet.
Therefore, after the Hidden World Card is activated, the Star Bug must avoid it.
Not only did the Starworm need to avoid it, but he also looked at Angel and Gleipnir, seeming to ask them to avoid it too.
However, Laplace said calmly: "No need to avoid it, I don't mind."
"You too, if you want to hear it, there's no need to avoid it." Laplace looked at Starworm.
Starworm shook his head violently. He could be curious about other things, but he had to be cautious about matters related to the Star Sea Train.
There must be a reason why the train conductor didn't tell him.
Therefore, even if Laplace invites him, he will refuse.
Seeing the Starworm's resistance, Laplace didn't say anything, but simply said: "You can avoid it, but just avoid it here."
Xing Chong was stunned for a moment, but he still hadn't come back to his senses.
Then he saw Gleipnir not far away, picked up the special paper page, and wrote a few words quickly.
The special paper pages immediately turned into constantly inspiring words, and with a flash of light, a transparent glass room appeared on the roof of the building.
"Soundproof room: a partition made of transparent glass, which has a sound insulation effect but does not block the view..."
"Just in case, you'd better stay here." Gleipnir said softly.
After all, this ritual is said to activate the Hidden World Card, but who knows if it is true?
If there is anything unusual about this ritual, then you must not let the star bug go. If you want to go into the water, then go into the water together.
Starworm also understood their worries at this time. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "I'll be here later..."
At worst, if you close your eyes and turn around later, you won't be able to hear anything.
After the agreement is made, the next step is to arrange the ceremony.
Starworm placed the ritual items prepared by Angel one by one on the altar.
The first thing to be put up was the "undeactivated branch" that Angel had retrieved, and the starworm inserted it into the hole in the inner ring.
Next, Starworm hung seven different items on the branches in order.
In the blink of an eye, the branch inserted into the inner ring turned into a strange little tree covered with different props.
The blood of birds, insects, live fish, mushrooms, bird eggs, snakes, leaves... coincidentally correspond to the seven different types of owls in the outer ring, namely the bird-eating barn owl, the insect-eating bird owl, and the fish-eating fish. Owls, the fungus-eating meadowlark, the egg-eating night owl, the snake-eating giant eagle owl, and the leaf-eating leaf owl.
Starworm made every step very carefully and very religiously.
After all this is done, only the last step remains.
Place the Hidden World Card on the top of the strange tree and stimulate the roots of the strange tree with any energy to activate the hidden information of the Hidden World Card.
At this point, Starworm stopped moving and looked at Laplace.
Laplace didn't hesitate, picked up the Hermitage Card and inserted it into the top of the branch.
Immediately afterwards, he used the illusion node borrowed from Angel to stimulate the roots of the strange little tree.
When she finished this series of actions, the small tree on the altar seemed to come alive, slowly starting to glow from the bottom.
This light represents the remaining activity of the branches.
The active light continued to rise and soon arrived at the sacrifice. Every time it passed a sacrifice, the phantom of an owl appeared out of thin air.
Barn owls strike the sky, bird owls look for food, fish owls dive...
The phantom only existed for a second and then slowly dissipated.
After all seven different kinds of owls were presented, the active light seemed to have a more mysterious charm.
When this mysterious light reaches the top of the branch and enters the hidden world card.
The Hidden World Card, which had been silent all this time, began to emit faint fluctuations, and then, the phantom of an owl with a long beard appeared above the Hidden World Card.
