Mirror Domain!
Dorcas was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came back to his senses. That's right, how could he have forgotten about the Mirror Domain?
The Mirror Domain was a special world, and there must be a lot of powerful creatures inside. Laplace, for example, was one of them.
Adanis used her ability to travel between reality and the Mirror Domain to subdue Youthful Slave, which meant she could also subdue more monsters. There must be a lot of powerful ones among them.
It made sense that Adanis would send someone from the Mirror Domain to deal with them.
Now that he thought about it, the Loft World, the Abyss, and so on had to be put aside. The Mirror Realm was definitely the most likely!
"If it's a monster from the Mirror Domain, we need to pay attention to all the reflective surfaces around us," Wade said as he looked around for any reflective surfaces.
The entrance to the Mirror Domain could be any mirror surface. As long as it could show images, even if it was water or a slightly greasy wall, Adanis could use it as an entrance to the Mirror Domain.
Dorcas didn't look around like Wade. Instead, he looked at Angor. "Now that I think about it, the Mirror Domain is the most likely target for Adanis to send otherworldly creatures to stop us. Speaking of which, it's been so long. Didn't you get any new information?"
Everyone looked at Angor.
They knew that Angor had his own sources of information. Even when they were exploring the Mirror Domain together, Angor already received some useful information.
For example, Angor never heard of the name "Adanis" before. But Angor got this information halfway through their journey. This meant that Angor's source of information was not simple.
"I have some information, but it's useless," Angor said. "It's not as useful as your analysis."
"You have information?" Dorcas' eyes brightened up. "Whether it's useful or not, tell us first so we can analyze it."
Angor didn't speak right away. Instead, he looked at Count Black. "Do you have something to say, sir?"
Angor already sensed that Count Black was about to say something, but he didn't say anything in the middle of their conversation.
Now that Dorcas had asked Angor, Angor had no choice but to ask Count Black first.
Count Black remained silent for two seconds. "I'll tell you after you tell me what you know."
Angor glanced at Count Black in confusion. Count Black's mood was definitely not something trivial. Why did he suddenly stop talking?
Angor was still confused, but he didn't think too much about it. "According to my information, that otherworldly creature is a Baby Spirit."
"Baby Spirit?!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
Dorcas: "Baby Baby Spirit? The kind that looks cute from a distance and up close? The kind of Baby Spirit that likes to crawl and even likes to crawl on people and plant strawberries on your neck? "
Dorcas was probably the only one who would call an infant spirit "cutie".
"Yes, they look like black weasels from afar, but look really scary up close."
"Tch." A disdainful voice came from Dorcas's mouth. "I thought it was some terrifying monster, but it's just a baby."
The others didn't say anything, but they all had the same thought. What was so scary about a Baby Spirit?
Even Count Black was surprised. He did consider the possibility that the Supreme Cult or the world's consciousness would notice the otherworldly monster's arrival, which meant the monster couldn't just sneak into the southern wizarding region without being noticed. Now that he knew the monster was a Baby Spirit, Count Black understood everything.
No matter how strong a Baby Spirit was, there was still a limit. And as souls, the world's consciousness would not reject them. No matter which world they were in, they would eventually be pulled into Cazider World by the Soul Tide.
"Maybe there are too many Baby Spirits? So many that we can't handle them? "
Dorcas grumbled, "If there are that many Baby Spirits, the aura of the undead would have already reached the sky. Do you think the Wise Lord will just sit still? "
"Then maybe it's the Baby Spirit of a powerful creature?" Way asked.
Dorcas considered. "That's possible. But it depends on where it's born. If it's from a powerful world like Loft World or the Abyss Plane, it's possible. "
Dorcas looked at Angor, hoping to get an answer from him. Angor shrugged. "I don't know where the Baby Spirit came from. I had the same reaction as you when I heard about it. But since it's a powerful Baby Spirit, let's get ready. "
They all agreed with Angor's explanation. There were many stories in the wizarding world where people died because they underestimated their enemies. No matter how strong or weak a Baby Spirit was, they had to be careful.
Fighting a Baby Spirit was like fighting an undead creature. Apprentices didn't know how to deal with undead creatures. Wizards, on the other hand, had their own ways of dealing with undead creatures.
With that in mind, everyone began to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Angor looked at Count Black again.
The Black Earl understood and said, "What I want to say is related to the smell just now."
The Black Earl paused and said with a doubtful tone, "That smell suddenly disappeared."
Disappeared?!
"The owner of that smell left?" Angor asked.
"That's what I thought at first. But when I thought about it carefully, I realized something was wrong."
At first, the smell that the Black Earl smelled was a faint fragrance. As they moved forward, although the others could not smell it, the Dark Earl could clearly sense that the fragrance was getting stronger.
Based on the starting point of the smell, the distance they had traveled, and the degree to which the aroma gradually increased, the Dark Earl was sure that the source of the aroma had always been in a constant state.
After coming to this conclusion, the Black Earl tried to estimate the approximate range of the source of the fragrance and estimated the linear distance between them and the source of the fragrance.
However, when he was calculating, he suddenly noticed that the smell was gone.
Count Black had been paying attention to the smell all this time, so he could clearly sense that the source of the smell was still in the same place. It was as if something was blocking him from sensing the smell.
"Something blocked the spread of the smell?" Angor frowned. It didn't sound like a big deal, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that something was wrong.
The tunnel wasn't a straight path. There were partitions in the middle, as well as twists and turns, which explained why they couldn't detect the smell. These "partitions" made it harder for the smell to spread.
As for the Black Earl's sense of smell, although it was also affected by the 'partition', the Black Earl's sense of smell was too sharp, so it wasn't affected much.
But now, even the 'partition' did not block the Black Earl's sense of smell, and the fragrance had suddenly disappeared. This meant that an even stronger 'partition' had appeared.
And what was this even more powerful 'partition'? Some special material? A special item?
Angor didn't think that was the answer.
According to the Wise Ruler, Adanis would never fight them in the real world. It was very likely that she set up a trap to lure them into the mirror domain.
Then, was it possible that this stronger 'partition' was a trap set up by Adanis?
For example, a mirror that contained the power of space?
With Adanis's ability, it was not difficult for her to set up a mirror to separate the space.
If that was the case, Count Black must have found this clue from the smell. And it was an important clue!
He told them about his theory, but they did not give him any positive feedback. Most importantly, Angor's speculation was too idealistic.
So far, Angor's theory was just empty talk. He didn't have any evidence to prove that the smell was a trap set up by Adanis.
Of course, this didn't convince the crowd.
"You're right, sir." Wai, who had been studying Angor's words for a long time, spoke up, "You're right, sir. Didn't we assume that the smell came from Adanis at first? Isn't it connected? Adanis set up a trap, so the fragrance on her body is covered! "
Everyone looked at each other. What Wa Yi said seemed to make sense.
This could be considered as evidence, right?
However, there was something suspicious about this. If the aroma really came from Adanis, why did she stand there without moving?
Perhaps it could be explained that Adanis was casting a spell to set up a trap, but this explanation was just them trying to deduce the result of their actions. Logically speaking, there were still a lot of suspicious points.
Count Black spoke up, "There's no need to argue. What Angor said is possible. When facing an unknown situation, we need to be prepared, even if it's just a possibility. "
Everyone agreed. They had to be careful when dealing with the Infant Spirits anyway. Angor's theory only encouraged them to be more careful and observe their surroundings. It didn't add too much pressure, and there was no need to argue about it.
This topic was skipped for the time being. Everyone continued to chat in the Spirit Bond as they continued to move forward.
Angor and Count Black didn't say anything during this time.
Angor felt that something was wrong. He knew that he was overthinking, but he couldn't help but think of the worst case scenario.
If this was really a trap set up by Adanis, they had to be careful. They could still struggle in the real world, but it was hard to say what would happen in the Mirror Domain.
And that smell … Angor was also curious about it.
If he guessed correctly, that fragrance could be Adanis's perfume, just as Vale had said.
But Count Black mentioned that the smell was different from the ones he smelled before.
Count Black didn't say anything about it, but Angor wondered if Count Black believed that the smell wasn't perfume.
Too bad … he didn't smell it.
Angor considered for a moment and asked Count Black to use the Spirit Bond.
Count Black didn't refuse and accepted the request.
"What? Did you find something?" Count Black asked.
Angor shook his head. "No. I'm still curious about the smell. Sir, are you sure it's perfume? "
"I'm not sure. It doesn't smell like something I've smelled before. However, I don't have a deep understanding of perfumes. Who knows, maybe I've already progressed to a deeper level in perfumery. "
"Do you have a way to simulate the smell, sir?"
He sounded a little hesitant when he spoke.
He could use illusions to simulate the smell, but he didn't know if other schools could do the same. If Count Black could, he would have done it already. Did that mean Count Black couldn't do it? Wasn't it a little rude to bring it up now?
"I have a way, but I don't think you'll agree."
Count Black had two options. The first was to temporarily switch with Angor's nose so that Count Black could simulate the smell.
It wasn't difficult, but it meant that Count Black's body was directly connected to Angor's. Angor's secrets would be hard to hide from Count Black.
As for the second option, Angor didn't need to worry about his own secrets. Instead, Wai would have to worry.
Count Black could return to Wai's body, and Angor could use his spirit feelers to temporarily take over Wai's body. This way, Count Black could also simulate the smell.
Angor was sure he could accept the second option, but it was hard to say whether Wai would accept it or not.
Besides, Wai had Noah's bloodline. If Angor took over Wai's body, he would be able to find out more about Noah's bloodline, which might cause a rift between him and Count Black. So, Angor decided not to do it for now.
While talking to Count Black, they reached a fork in the road.
It was the first one they encountered after leaving the Sage Hall.
Although it was called a fork in the road, there was actually only one choice.
This was because the wall of one of the forked paths had already collapsed, blocking the path ahead. Even the magic array had started to crumble. This path was as good as scrapped.
Dorcas looked at the blocked road and muttered, "Will Adanis do something at the fork in the road? Like this one, we just need to put up a mirror and we'll be able to switch sides. "
"If we don't pay attention, we might end up in the mirror."
"Anywhere, not just a fork in the road," said Wai.
"I'll give you an example."
Dorcas and Wai kept arguing as they walked toward the only path.
Angor looked at Dorcas' back with a thoughtful expression.
Was this Dorcas' idea?
