"Why a new mirror?" Dorcas asked curiously.
"The new mirror won't connect to the Mirror Domain for the time being. As far as I know, some of you have ways to enter the mirror and retrieve things from it. " Er Bao glanced around the group and looked at Angor. Is it still you?
Er Bao had mixed feelings. Just as Angor sensed, the members of the One-Eye Clan, even the calm Geng Gui, had a sense of superiority when it came to doing things. It was as if they thought they were better than others.
Er Bao and Geng Gui were the same. They rarely interacted with humans, so they had some prejudice against them. Er Bao didn't hate humans, but he didn't think highly of them either.
However, Angor's appearance made Er Bao realize that there were also people who were as brilliant as the sun among the younger generation. Even Er Bao had to admit that some of Angor's traits and abilities were beyond its reach.
And Angor was still so young.
Er Bao's mind wandered for a moment. Soon, he calmed himself down and continued.
"Anyway, as long as Gray Merchant's memory is inside the new mirror, Angor can pull it out whenever he wants. Otherwise, the memory will just scatter in the wind. "
To put it simply, the new mirror was not connected to the Mirror Domain right away. During this time, the space inside the mirror would exist independently of the Mirror Domain.
It was a relatively safe space that would not be invaded by mirror creatures or destroyed by laws. The only downside was that it was very fragile and could not support any physical objects.
However, Gray Merchant's memory was not a physical object either. Angor did not need to worry about it. Since Angor could take it out whenever he wanted, he basically gave Gray Merchant's memory a safe "home".
Making a new mirror was not difficult. In fact, Angor didn't even need to craft one. He just took a reflective crystal and cut it into a mirror.
Next, Geng Gui entered the mirror fragment while Angor took out a piece of crystal, cut it from the side, and polished it with silver powder to create a new "mirror".
Now, Angor only needed to wait for Geng Gui to retrieve Gray Merchant's memory.
While waiting, Angor looked at Er Bao in the distance.
"You really don't need me to give you a name?"
Erbao sneered, "I admire you, but that doesn't mean you have the right to criticize my name."
Angor shrugged. He wasn't trying to tell them what to do. He was just giving them a way out. If they asked him why they changed their names, they could just blame it on him.
However, if the other party didn't appreciate it, then so be it.
Geng Gui quickly located Gray Merchant's memory. After sending a signal, Geng Gui reached his hand into the broken lens.
He tried to reach his hand into the fragment, but he didn't find anything. But this time, he clearly felt that there was something extra in his palm.
It was weightless and tactile. It felt like air, but Angor was sure it was there.
As its presence grew stronger, Angor began to see more images in his mind.
The main characters were all Gray Merchant. He stood silently in front of the burnt ruins. He sat on the ground, hugging a masked female corpse in his arms. He sat under a pink velvet tree, leaning against a tombstone as he gulped down a mouthful of wine.
These images were fleeting, but Angor could feel that Gray Merchant's emotions were slowly turning cold as he lost his memories again and again.
At the same time, Angor's strength did not change much, but he was getting closer and closer to the path of truth that all wizards longed for.
Angor now understood why Gray Merchant wanted his memories back so badly. It meant that he was walking on the path of truth.
However, Gray Merchant might not be as gentle as he used to be after getting his memories back.
It only took Angor several seconds to transfer Gray Merchant's memory into the new mirror.
Angor picked up the mirror and saw that Gray Merchant's image in the fragment had been transferred to the new mirror.
Gray Merchant's shadow stood there quietly, just as helpless and sad as when he "lost" his memories.
"Other people's memories are just their memories. Don't try to have any emotions for the people in your memory. It will only affect your judgment. "Suddenly, Geng Gui's voice came into his ears.
Angor looked up and saw Geng Gui leaving the mirror domain and returning to the real world. He was now floating in front of Angor.
"That's what the Lord Ruler said. I think it might be useful for you," Geng Gui said in a serious tone.
Angor chuckled. "Thank you. It's very useful."
Angor was not affected by Gray Merchant's memories, but Geng Gui's words were not completely useless. Immersing oneself in someone's memories and being affected by their emotions was the lowest form of empathy. This kind of empathy only served to move one's own emotions.
He wasn't thinking about how touching Gray Merchant's memory was. Instead, he was thinking about something else.
Was Gray Merchant's path a path of heartlessness or a path of loss?
It seemed like heartlessness, but it was actually a path of loss. Which would bring him closer to the path of truth?
If "losing" Gray Merchant's memories, would it be good or bad for him to regain them?
Angor was also stuck at this threshold, which was why he began to think about these memories.
The path of truth was like the awakening of a demon from the abyss. It was a metamorphosis. It was not as powerful as the awakening of a demon, but it was enough to lay the foundation for one's future. If he made a mistake, or if it did not suit him, he would not be able to turn back.
"I'll leave Gray Merchant's memories to you. Er Bao and I will go now. I hope you don't break the contract." Geng Gui floated to Er Bao and slowly sank into the ground with him.
"Wait a minute," Angor called out.
Geng Gui gave Angor a puzzled look.
"I have one more question. Do you know which incarnations your mother will send this time?"
This was an important question. If it was only one incarnation, it would be easy to deal with. If it was more than one incarnation, they would have to be more careful.
Geng Gui glanced at Er Bao and did not see any reaction. "I don't know. But I don't think it's Child's Heart. "
In other words, it was either the Heart of a Maiden or the Heart of a Mother.
Angor nodded. "Alright, I understand."
Geng Gui did not say anything else and sank into the ground with Er Bao.
After Geng Gui and Er Bao left, Angor began to collect the array disks on the ground while thinking about how he should deal with the Heart Slave and the Heart Slave at the same time.
About half a minute later, Angor finally finished collecting all the disks.
Dorcas watched Angor put away the disks one by one and asked, "Have you thought about how you're going to collect the disks after using them against the Heart Slave?"
Angor glanced at Dorcas. "Why do you need to do that?"
"So you don't want them?"
"Do you think we have enough time to do that?"
Setting up a disk array could be done quickly, but collecting it required resetting the energy nodes of the array, which was much slower. Just like this time, it took him half a minute to do it. Against the Heart Slave, one or two seconds could cause casualties, let alone half a minute.
There was no way Angor could collect the disks. It was not an extravagance. It was a necessary expense.
Dorcas understood this, but he still felt reluctant when he thought about the value of the disks.
"If you're interested in them, I can teach you how to make them when we get to Phantom Island. Ah … I need an assistant anyway. "Angor stroked his chin.
Dorcas's pained expression disappeared in an instant. His entire body became sluggish and wooden as he pretended to be a wooden person, unable to hear anything from the outside world.
Angor could tell that Dorcas still did not want to follow him, but at least it was better than when Dorcas kept yelling about how "freedom is priceless".
Angor did not want to hurt Dorcas' feelings. Instead, he stood up, stretched, and tossed the stone slab back to Dark Earl.
"You don't need it anymore?"
Angor nodded. "The leylines you recorded helped me a lot, sir. They're the main reason why I was able to find the breakthrough point. But I don't need them for now.
"A magic array as large as an underground sewer has a very strict structure and logic. It's like solving a problem. As long as you know a few necessary conditions, you can find the corresponding patterns. It's not hard. "
The stone slab was the anchor point, while the magic array was the changing surface. As long as the anchor point was fixed, no matter how the surface changed, one could always find the pattern to solve it.
Of course, by "magic array", Angor did not mean the entire underground sewer. He only meant the energy nodes of the array.
The method he used to stop Geng Gui and Er Bao only involved a part of the energy nodes.
"You're the only one who would say something like that."
It wasn't a difficult task for him, but for 99% of wizards, it was an insurmountable obstacle.
Just like the Black Earl, even though he could draw the so-called "ley lines", he was at a loss as to how to achieve his goal through these records.
Even now, Dark Earl did not know how Angor did it.
Dark Earl was not someone who would hesitate to ask questions. Since Angor did not know how to do it, he would simply ask.
Angor was going to explain the theory to prevent people from panicking when they encountered the Phantom Slave. Now that Dark Earl asked, Angor took the chance to explain his method.
"The Wise Man said that the Phantom Slave's Devour ability ignores all defenses. As long as you're within its range, you can't do anything no matter how strong you are. Geng Gui and Er Bao worked together to simulate the Phantom Slave's Devour ability, which proved it. "
Angor's explanation reminded everyone of the previous situation. As long as they stood on top of the hole, they would lose all their strength and energy. They were like cattle waiting to be slaughtered.
Even if the hole was only the size of a bowl, they would lose control of their entire body if they stepped on it. This showed how powerful the Phantom Slave's "Devour" ability was.
How did Angor get rid of such a powerful ability?
The answer was: by borrowing power.
"Using the stone slab Lord Dark Earl lent me, I saw the energy veins in the ground around us. I noticed something. No matter how strong the Phantom Slave's Devour ability is, the energy veins in the ground are still as balanced as before. This means that the Phantom Slave's Devour ability is still weaker than the suppressive force of the magic array.
"In other words, the Phantom Slave's Devour ability is unbreakable in the outside world. But here, the Phantom Slave's Devour ability is completely suppressed by the magic array.
"Now that I know this, the way to get rid of the hole is simple. I just need to borrow power."
Borrow whose power? The magic array's power, of course.
Angor's explanation was simple, but everyone knew that Angor was the only one who thought it was simple. They just needed to listen to the theory and pretend to be enlightened.
As for learning how to do it? It was impossible. They were aware of their own limitations.
"From my observation, I'm sure that Geng Gui and Er Bao's hole did pass through some energy veins in the magic array, but there were only a certain number of them …"
Since the magic array had backup energy veins, it was not a problem to cut off a few of them.
"Maybe three or five veins are the limit. Any more and the energy veins will cause a backlash, which will reduce the pressure on the magic array.
"The hole will be affected by the magic array's suppression.
"I just need to control the energy veins in this area through an external array plate, and I can control the energy veins at will. Once they appear, I just need to direct a large amount of energy veins to the hole to stop it from opening.
"The reason why they couldn't open the hole before was because of the magic array's suppression, which hindered their ability."
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Angor's words.
The method was simple, and Angor could explain it in a few sentences. But if they really wanted to do it, they would not be able to do it even if there were ten or a hundred of them.
So, they just listened to the theory.
Dorcas asked curiously, "You said three or five veins are the limit. How many veins did you use to suppress their hole?"
"About 20, I think." Angor considered. "Actually, that's only the capacity of the two external array plates. With the number of plates I set up just now, I can use more than 100 veins."
He did not use all of them because he was testing the lower limit of the capacity. As for preparing more disk arrays, it was just in case.
Besides, Geng Gui was Geng Gui, and Phantom Slave was Phantom Slave. They were not on the same level, so he did not need to use all of his strength.
