Since he didn't want to damage the decorations, Angor decided not to touch them with his hands. Instead, he used his spirit feelers to check the place.
Earlier, he only used Danger Sense to check the place and didn't find any traps.
Now that he had checked carefully, he found that there were ingenious and fragile designs everywhere, so it was indeed impossible to set up any traps. Even the cultivation of the two armored knights was just the simplest of hugging each other. It was as if this was the case.
The Witch's Eye was also worried that the magic array would backfire if it overdid it, so it covered the walls with curtains and covered the floor with Yuhua Stones and a carpet.
He did a quick scan and found nothing out of the ordinary. Well, he didn't find any treasures either.
The only thing that seemed to be supernatural was an old, yellowish square box beside the pillow on the bed.
The box felt cold to the touch. It wasn't made of metal, but of bone. Angor couldn't tell what kind of creature this bone belonged to. But since it could block energy detection, it probably came from a supernatural creature.
The box didn't do much to prevent energy detection. Maybe it was due to the passage of time, so the effect was very weak.
If Angor really wanted to check the box, he could use his spirit feelers. However, the thing was yellowish and had cracks all over it. Angor didn't want to force his way in and break the box, so he didn't look inside.
Besides, the box wasn't locked, so there was no need to break it.
Angor wasn't interested in what was inside the box. He didn't sense any energy aura coming from it, so it was probably nothing special.
However, he did pay attention to some patterns and words on the box's outer shell. A simple hollow logo was carved on the lid of the box. Half of it had been broken, but the other half seemed to be "Garden City Bathed in Sunlight."
Below the emblem was a row of similar engravings. Most of the engravings were damaged, so Angor could only make out "XX Forbidden Prison XXX Laboratory Building XXX".
The first few words were words, and the last few words were probably numbers. However, the numbers were mostly gone.
Still, from the words and the numbers, Angor was sure that this was a box that was mass-produced. It was likely that they had been distributed to many organizations, and this box belonged to a certain prison.
He didn't know where the Witch's Eye found the box. If this was where it was found, then this must be the "laboratory building of XX Prison".
He checked the other sides of the box and found nothing. However, there was a familiar pattern on the back of the box.
The silver snake coiled around a bone staff.
If this was his first time, he would have been surprised. But he already saw the same symbol on the broken pieces of equipment in the lab.
Therefore, when he saw the symbol that seemed to be related to "Origin Worshippers" again, he did not feel too surprised.
Maybe the Baiyuan people really did have something to do with Nether City, or maybe they participated in some of the city's experiments. But that was all in the past, and Angor did not want to think about it right now.
Still, he could tell Dodoro what he saw.
Dodoro was a man without a past, and that was a sad thing. He did not know where he came from, why he existed, or where he would go in the future. If Dodoro wanted to find his own past, maybe the Garden of Mystery Palace would be a good place to start.
Although Dodoro's prophecy was the best in the world, his personal strength was still not enough. Even if he told Dodoro, Angor would only tell him to wait until he grew stronger.
As for hiding it from Dodoro for now, Angor did not think about it at all.
First of all, he did not want to hide it from Dodoro. And second of all, as far as he knew, Dodoro still did not see himself as a "Origin Worshipper". Even if he told Dodoro about it, Dodoro would not go after it right now.
Perhaps Dodoro would only learn more after he became a wizard and received the baptism of the Origin Flame in the Ancestral Altar. By then, Angor believed that Dodoro would be strong enough to stand on his own. Whether Dodoro chose to pursue his past or continue being himself, Angor would support him.
"Is there a treasure or not?" In the end, he was interrupted by Dorcas' repeated questions through the Spirit Bond.
"Where are you? I want to see it too. You're the leader. You can't hide anything from us!"
Angor did not respond to Dodoro's questions earlier. But now that he had enough information, he decided to give Dodoro some answers.
"The room I found by accident should be the room of the Witch's Eye. It looks like a girl's room … "Angor paused and changed his words." Or rather, this is a girl's room. "
"An ordinary girl? You mean the Witch's Eye? "
"You can think of it that way. Since this is an" ordinary "girl's room, I don't think there will be any treasures like you thought."
Without mentioning the two armored ghouls, Angor briefly explained the situation to Sunders.
"Fragile, but a Witch's Eye's pursuit of beauty?" Dodoro pursed his lips. "You don't have to be so careful. Fragmentation is beauty. Just like those ruins, they were very beautiful, right? Kal-El? "
Dodoro even dragged Kal-El into the conversation to prove his twisted theory. Kal-El was a real lover of ruins, so he agreed with Dodoro's words. However, he did not dare to speak in the Spirit Bond.
"Coward." Dorcas cursed at Cael and spoke to Angor on the other side of the Spirit Bond. "Let's get back to business. So you're saying that the only treasure in there is the box in your hand right now?"
"It's not really a treasure. It's just a thin trace of supernatural power. It's not very useful," Angor answered casually.
"What's inside the box?"
"I don't know."
Dodoro became excited when he heard that Angor had not opened the box yet. "Then hurry up and open it. Maybe there's something inside."
"Personally, I think … you're dreaming."
He did not open the box, but he could already hear the clanking noises when he checked the different sides of the box.
There were two kinds of noises. One was the sound of metal hitting glass, while the other was the sound of glass hitting glass.
The former aside, Angor was very familiar with the latter's voice.
It was the sound of potion bottles hitting against each other. And it was a low-level glass potion bottle.
Based on the two sounds, he could already guess what was inside.
A bottle of perfume, or something made of metal … like jewelry?
There was a faint fragrance in the room, but Angor could not find the source. At first, he thought the perfume was carried around by the Witch's Eye. Now that he heard the noises, he was sure that it was the perfume inside.
"I'm dreaming? I know you're cursing me, but if you tell me what's inside the box, I'll admit that I'm dreaming. " Dodoro was bored out of his mind. The only thing that piqued his interest was the box in Angor's hand.
Curiosity toward the unknown was a natural instinct of humans, and an unknown box could stimulate such curiosity even more.
This was not only true in the wizarding world, but also in human culture back on Earth.
In myths, such a thing was called Pandora's Box.
In reality, it was called opening a blind box.
What Angor was going to do now was called … "Opening a Blind Box".
He could sense Dorcas' excitement, as well as Vaay and Kael's eagerness to see what was inside the box.
Since they were so curious, Angor decided to give it a try.
Everyone was inside Angor's fixed illusion, and they were not too far away from him. However, Angor was still inside the enclosed building, and he was still inside the expanded space of the building.
With layers upon layers of Magic Arrays, it was not easy to control the Illusion Nodes in the outside world.
Angor couldn't help but admire Dark Earl's ability. Dark Earl's Spirit Bond had been working perfectly until now. If Angor tried to use it himself, he would probably be cut off by the magic array as soon as he entered the building.
As expected of Dark Earl, he was really good at handling details.
Angor tried several times but failed. When he tried to use nightmare illusion energy, he finally got a response from the illusion.
However, the response was still weak. Perhaps it was because Angor did not leave enough nightmare illusion energy outside.
Still, if he was only going to open a blind box without showing all the details in the room, it should be fine, right?
He decided to give it a try and began his first blind box unboxing.
…
While waiting for Angor to tell them about the contents of the box, they suddenly felt the illusion around them changing.
The Black Earl let out a cry of surprise.
Dark Earl's Spirit Bond showed up in front of everyone's eyes.
Angor tried to control the illusion nodes and simulated a wave of his hand.
"Can you see my hand?" Angor's voice came from the Spirit Bond.
"That's your hand?" Dodoro stared blankly.
"Yes. You should be able to see it. Since you can see it, I'm going to open the box. "
With that, Angor quickly controlled the illusion to simulate the appearance of the box.
Angor could show the answer directly, but he decided to do it in a more formal way.
He simulated his own hands and pointed at the box while explaining, "So this is the box you've been talking about. It looks ordinary, right?"
"Yes, it does. Many parts of it are broken." Angor also adjusted the "camera" so that everyone could see the carvings on the box's lid.
Thanks to his experience in stage plays, Angor was able to switch between the camera angles very smoothly. The changes in the images and his explanation really helped the audience to feel more involved.
Even Dark Earl was watching Angor's "live stream" with a curious look.
Of course, Dark Earl knew that Angor was only controlling the illusion. But he had to admit that this was the first time he saw something like this. And with Angor's explanation, Dark Earl really felt like he was in the real world.
However, when he thought about how Angor was only creating illusions … or playing a monkey show, Dark Earl felt a little strange. More importantly, Angor's explanation in the Spirit Bond was very serious, as if he was really sharing his experience with everyone.
"How did you manage not to feel awkward?" Dark Earl really wanted to ask this question.
As far as he knew, Angor would never do something so embarrassing. It was interesting, but it was still a little strange for Angor to do it.
What Dark Earl didn't know was that Angor's education was completely different from others. Under Jon's guidance, Angor learned a lot about Earth's culture. Based on this, Angor didn't feel awkward at all.
Besides, Angor had made many stage plays himself. In his opinion, stage plays were similar to this one. The only difference was that he added his own words to make the audience feel more comfortable.
Besides, Angor could only control a small number of illusion nodes. The screen was only as big as a dinner plate, and they couldn't see Angor's face. Why would he feel awkward?
At first, Count Dark wondered if Angor would be too awkward to continue the conversation. However, Angor spoke calmly like a teacher in a class who was slowly explaining his personal opinion about the box. Count Dark felt awkward when Angor did not feel awkward at all.
Dark Earl didn't want to feel awkward for Angor. He forced himself to calm down and accepted the situation. As long as Angor's illusion was real, he wasn't playing a monkey show.
If Angor played them like idiots, they would feel it too. When Angor came back, they would "repay" them accordingly.
After seeing through it, the Black Earl was no longer embarrassed. He looked at it very carefully. At the same time, he also felt that Angor was getting more and more interesting. Unfortunately, Angor's only flaw was that he was Sunders' student.
On the other hand, Dorcas and the others didn't think that Angor was playing a monkey show. It wasn't that they didn't think Angor would lie to them in such a way.
Besides, satisfying their curiosity about the unknown was not a bad thing in itself.
…
"Now that we've seen enough, it's time to open the box. To be honest, I already know what's inside. Too bad I didn't leave too many illusion nodes outside, so I can't simulate the sound. Otherwise, you'll know what's inside just by listening to the sound. "
At this moment, Angor was sitting cross-legged on the Rainflower Stone. While talking to himself, he was really showing the real situation in the illusion.
He didn't make up the illusion because it wasn't necessary. Besides, it would be difficult for Angor to create an illusion while explaining the situation through the Spirit Bond at the same time since it was his first time doing "live streaming".
In front of everyone's eyes, as well as his own, he reached out his hand and slowly opened the box.
There was nothing out of the ordinary, and there were no traps either. The box was easily opened, revealing the contents inside.
There were only three things in the box.
As Angor expected, there were two bottles of perfume and a metal ornament.
"See? I told you you were dreaming, and you didn't believe me. Now, wake up. "
"Are you sure you didn't cheat?"
Angor didn't answer. He only humphed. Whether or not he cheated, if they really wanted to look into it, how could they not be able to tell with their abilities?
Besides, Count Dark was also watching the screen. Angor didn't have the courage to treat the man like an idiot.
Dorcas sighed. "Fine, I'll believe you. I was dreaming today. "
Angor already expected Dorcas to lower his head, so he wasn't surprised. He didn't continue to mock Dorcas and instead took out the three items from the box.
They weren't anything special, but just like the carvings on the box, they might contain some information.
