After hearing Qiu Bigg's answer, all the intelligent beings on the ship were stunned.
Even Lobel and Velvet, who were hiding behind Gondola in their gusts of wind, were shocked by the answer.
It wasn't that the answer was shocking. The answer itself wasn't anything special. What surprised them was what the answer meant.
According to Cub Bigg, Carme's true form was exactly the same as Cub Bigg's.
In other words, Carme's true form was also a flying boar.
This was something worth pondering. Elemental creatures often "clashed" with each other, and sometimes with different elements. However, they couldn't possibly look exactly the same.
"Are there really two identical elemental creatures in this world?" Dankros wondered.
"No." Both Angor and Lobel shook their heads at the same time.
One had to know that it was impossible to find humans with similar physical features, let alone elemental creatures with vastly different physical features.
However, Cub Bigg's words were "completely the same except for the different proportions", which made everyone wonder what was going on.
"So there's no such thing as an identical elemental creature. Is it a coincidence?"
Angor shook his head. No, it couldn't be a coincidence. Considering Carme's behavior, Angor already had an idea. However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked outside of Gondola.
"Lobel," Angor called out softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a three-headed poodle slowly appeared in the wind.
"My Lord." Three overlapping buzzing sounds came from the three heads at the same time.
Angor could tell that Lobel's three heads were speaking in different tones. The main head spoke respectfully, but it sounded a little impatient. The vice head sounded calmer than the main head, but it still sounded like he was "forced to do business". Only the head at the end of the line sounded calm, respectful, and distant.
Angor knew about Lobel's three personalities, so he didn't mind the impatience of the main head and vice head.
In Angor's eyes, the main head and vice head were almost worthless.
He was referring to the head at the end of the line when he called out Lobel's name.
He skipped the two leaders and looked at the calm-looking leader at the end of the line. This caused the Main Head and Vice Head, who were clearly ignored, to have some thoughts in their minds. The Main Head was furious, but this kind of fury was useless fury. The Vice Head seemed to have thought something through, and did not become angry. Instead, he slowly calmed down.
Angor didn't care about the change in mood at all. "So, what do you think about Wise Camus' true form?"
Everyone, including Camus, said that Tail End Head had the aura of a wise man. Angor was curious to know what Tail End Head, the so-called "wise man", thought of this.
Wei Tou did not challenge the power of Ding Yuan's Mork Oath. Instead, he calmly told Ding Yuan his thoughts.
"There are no creatures that are completely similar in this world. Even if there are, there is a high probability that they were not born in the same place. Therefore, the situation where Sir Camus and Qiu Bigg are not only similar, but also met each other and were adopted and brought up together, in my opinion, is definitely not a coincidence. "
"If that's the case, what do you think is behind it?"
Tail End Head's answer was always straightforward. Both Dangros and Qiu Bigg could understand and agree with him. Angor's second question also piqued their interest. They all pricked up their ears to listen to what Tail End Head had to say.
Tail End Head hesitated for two seconds before speaking, "I don't know what 'behind it' is. But based on the common premise that 'there are no two elemental creatures that are completely similar in this world', the most likely possibility is that the so-called true form Cub Bigg saw was given to him by Sir Camus on purpose. "
Qiu Bigg: "So you're saying that Sir Camus' true form is not the same as mine, and what I saw was fake?"
Tail End Head nodded. "Yes. This is the only way to explain why you two are exactly the same. One of you is fake."
Qiu Bigg and Dangros both thought about Tail End Head's words carefully and realized that it was indeed possible.
However, Angor did not pay too much attention to Tail End Head's conclusion. Instead, he noticed that Tail End Head's conclusion was based on a common assumption.
What if the common assumption was not the truth?
According to Wei Tou's explanation, there were a lot of things that did not make sense. For example, did Camus really need to hide his true form in front of Cub Bigg? Even if Camus really wanted to hide his true form and create an illusion, why not just create an image that looked exactly like Cub Bigg?
One had to know that the underlying logic of concealment was to get rid of all the "special" connections that pointed to himself. As a result, he created a real body that was completely similar to Cub Bigg. If other creatures found out about this, not only would they not be suspicious, but they would also pay more attention to the truth of concealment. This was not hiding anything. Camus was deliberately misleading people. Or, to be more precise, diverting people's attention.
But this did not make sense. Misleading what? Diverting people's attention? At least until now, there was no one who opposed Camus.
So Angor could only go back to his original assumption. Camus did not have any other intentions. He just wanted to hide his true form.
Angor looked at Tail End Head again. "Then, what do you think if we don't follow the common assumption?"
Tail End Head: "If we don't follow the common assumption, we have to admit a subtle fact. Sir Camus and Cub Bigg are exactly the same."
"So, what do you think?" Angor asked.
Tail End Head shook his head. "I can't tell. If they really look the same, I can only say that Sir Camus and Cub Bigg have some special connection."
Dankros and Cub Bigg did not understand this answer, but they did not think too much about it because it sounded obviously unreliable. Since it was said that there were no elemental creatures that were exactly the same in the world, then the assumption of this premise was nonsense.
But Angor nodded in his mind after hearing the explanation. Compared to the first conclusion, he believed that the second one might be the truth.
Tail End Head did not say what kind of special connection Camus and Cub Bigg had, but there were only a few possibilities.
Family. This was highly unlikely. Even blood relatives could not be exactly the same. Not to mention, elemental creatures did not have such a concept.
Clones. This was more likely. Since they looked exactly the same, it could only mean that they were clones.
But if Cub Bigg was really a clone, then Camus should be the main body, and he should be able to control all the actions of the clone. But Cub Bigg did not seem to be under Camus's control. Otherwise, it would not have secretly sold out Camus's real body.
Unless Cub Bigg lied.
But Angor did a profiling of Cub Bigg's mind, and Cub Bigg did not realize that he was Camus' clone at all.
This was a strange situation. Angor thought of many possibilities, but the only one that seemed reasonable was that Cub Bigg was indeed a clone, and the main body was Camus. But something happened to this clone, and Cub Bigg's independent consciousness was born.
Only in this way could many things be explained. If this was the case, Angor had to admit that Camus was very careless. There was a subtle connection between the doppelganger and the main body. Some powerful existences could even use the doppelganger to curse and kill the main body. Camus' doppelganger had developed consciousness. Not only was it not destroyed, but it was also raised. This was somewhat strange.
"Cub Bigg, can you tell me what happened when you were born?" Lorber suddenly asked Cub Bigg.
Angor glanced at Lorber. Judging from the question, they both had the same idea.
Cub Bigg did not hide anything and told Lorber about his birth.
Angor was even more certain that Cub Bigg was a clone.
Because Cub Bigg's birthplace was right next to Camus. There were already too many coincidences, and now there was one more: a flying pig that looked exactly like Camus was born right next to Camus.
With so many coincidences, it was clear that something was wrong.
Cub Bigg's original words were, "Mister Camus was surprised when he saw me being born next to him. He saw that I looked like him, and since I was destined to be born next to him, Mister Camus said it was fate, so he adopted me. "
This was from Cub Bigg's perspective. Angor could tell that Camus was not surprised because Cub Bigg was born next to him. Instead, he was surprised that Cub Bigg's clone actually had its own consciousness.
If that was the case, then many things made sense.
However, this did not solve the other problem: why did Camus hide his true identity?
He considered for a moment and decided that he had to look at the problem separately.
The birth of Cub Bigg was something that happened much later. Camus, on the other hand, had been hiding his true identity for a long time. It was said that Camus did not like others to see his true form.
Therefore, Cub Bigg and Camus were two different things.
Now that Angor knew that Camus was also a pink flying pig, Angor began to understand why Camus hid his true identity.
Maybe it was some kind of pride or pride?
A flying pig was not a big deal, but it was also pink and tender. Perhaps this made the young Camus feel some subtle emotions, so he hid his true identity?
At this point, Angor had almost figured out the truth of what he believed to be the truth.
He didn't really care whether it was true or not. He only asked about Camus's real body to change the topic. It did not matter whether he knew or not.
If he really wanted to know the truth, he could always ask Camus again in the future. By then, he might be able to get Camus to talk by using Camus's deduction as an excuse.
Angor did not find anything useful after hearing Camus's story. However, he decided that he would not accept Cub Bigg as his elemental companion. After all, there were still some parts of his "cloning" theory that did not make sense. Unless Camus explained everything to him, he would not even ask other wizards to accept Qiu Bigg as an elemental companion.
…
The Gondola kept moving forward along the Ripple Sea.
Even with the help of the Speeder Spirit, it would still take some time to reach the Maraya Ice Mountain.
The sea was beautiful, but looking at the same scenery over and over again would get him tired.
While Angor was bored out of his mind, he heard something coming from his bracelet.
Angor waved a hand, and a miniature church made of bones with golden runes appeared on the table.
Dankros had seen this many times, so he wasn't surprised. Lobel and Cub Bigg, on the other hand, looked at Angor in confusion, wondering where he got this strange structure from.
Angor did not explain. He knew that Dankros would explain everything as long as Angor did not forbid him from doing so. Even if Angor did not ask, Dankros would tell Angor about it on his own. This "I know something you don't" feeling was enough for him to brag about it for an entire afternoon.
Angor took out the Church of the Deceased and rubbed it a few times. Next, a humanoid figure wearing a horned helmet poked its head out of the church.
"Is Ness gone again?" Angor asked before Torras could say anything.
"Yes." With Angor's permission, Torras quickly returned to the dream wasteland that he had been longing for for for a long time.
Angor sighed and put the Church of the Deceased back into his bracelet. Next, he took out the Dream Whelk and a stone tablet.
Through the whelk, he sent the tablet's location to Ness.
When he was done, he heard Dankros explaining to Qiu Bigg what a "space" was and what a space storage was.
While explaining, Dankros glanced at Angor from time to time, as if he was asking if he was right.
Angor yawned. "I'm going in for a bit. Call me if you need anything."
With that, Angor leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. His consciousness had already stepped onto the Bridge of Dreams.
Since the outside world was getting boring, Angor decided to take a stroll in the dream wasteland.
He appeared at the top of Heaven's Tower as usual.
He planned to check on Freud first. Both the ritual at Silver Wun Principality and the strange altar inside the mountain were very important to him. Angor wondered if Freud had made any progress in the past few days.
He pushed the door open and entered Freud's office from the balcony.
Before entering the dream wasteland, he already sensed Freud's presence. To his surprise, there was someone else in the office apart from Freud.
