"This path leads to the Empty Mirror Ocean."
"The reason why we built this road is because we want to salvage the … Hollow Man."
Geng Gui's explanation helped Angor understand the reason behind this.
Normally speaking, the Empty Mirror Sea's Tidal Disaster would appear out of nowhere. No one knew when it would appear, where it would appear, or which direction it would go.
However, since there were normal situations, there would also be special situations.
The Empty Mirror Sea at the edge of the Mirror Realm was the most unique place for a Tidal Disaster.
Its uniqueness lay in the fact that no matter where the Tidal Disaster occurred at the edge of the Mirror Domain, it would all flow in the same direction — the inner area of the Mirror Domain.
This fork in the road led to the only way to the inner area of the Mirror Realm.
Whenever Adanis dealt with the Noah Clan, she would always throw them to the outer area of the Mirror Sea at random locations. However, all the Hollow Men would eventually pass through here.
In the past, although they were able to fish out the Hollow Men, it took a long time because they had to search for them.
Even if they knew that this was the only way for the Hollow Men, they still had to retreat when the Tidal Disaster appeared. They would only come back after the Tidal Disaster subsided.
At that time, they couldn't tell whether the Hollow Men were at the outer area of the Mirror Realm or had been pushed into the inner area by the Tidal Disaster.
Later on, under Er Bao's suggestion, this fork in the road was created. Moreover, special "eyes" created by the Wise Dominator were installed at various points along the fork in the road. Once the Hollow Men appeared, the "eyes" would lock onto them.
This way, they wouldn't have to look for the Hollow Men.
As long as the "eyes" gave them a hint, they would immediately enter the Mirror Realm.
Even if the Tidal Disaster prevented them from entering the Mirror Realm, the "eyes" could still lock onto the Hollow Men for a certain amount of time and prevent them from completely disappearing.
Of course, the Ruler of Wisdom didn't make the "eyes" specifically for the Hollow Men.
The Ruler of Wisdom arranged a place for each Hollow Man to go, but he didn't consider it a big deal. The main function of the "eyes" was to record, analyze, and search.
The records and analysis were easier to understand. Overall, it was the Sage's research on the Sea of Empty Mirrors.
As for searching, it was because the Sovereign of Wisdom wished to use his' eyes' to search for something special within the Empty Mirror Sea.
This kind of thing could be a Void Heart, an item from the real world, or a secret treasure that was born in the Empty Mirror Sea.
Putting aside the Hollow Man for now, the other two types, whether it was an item that flowed in from the real world or a secret treasure in the Empty Mirror Ocean, as long as it existed in the Empty Mirror Ocean, it was definitely not simple.
To put it bluntly, he was just waiting for the rabbit to show up.
It wasn't difficult to construct this path, and the rewards would be bountiful. This was why Er Bao had suggested it, and why the Wise Sovereign had agreed to it.
After listening to Geng Gui's explanation, Angor wanted to go down as well.
However, he wasn't here to study the Mirror Sea, nor was he here to 'pick up scraps'. He simply wanted to see the 'eye' that the Wise Sovereign had refined.
The 'eye' that the Sovereign of Wise had created was capable of sensing even across worlds. How had it been accomplished? Also, the "eye" was able to lock onto the Hollow Dwellers for a certain period of time during the Tidal Disaster at Mirror Hollow Sea. What was this "eye" made of?
Could it be Old Shi?
Angor was curious, but he didn't ask about it. After all, Geng Gui couldn't make the decision to study the "eye". He still needed the Wise Sovereign's approval.
Besides, compared to the "eye", Angor was more interested in Sweet Dream.
…
They kept moving forward. There were no other forks in the path. Soon, they saw the end of the corridor in the sky.
Angor expected to see another mirror space shrouded in mist. But to his surprise, there was an arched door made of vines and blooming flowers at the end of the corridor.
There was no "door" on the door, but there was a hanging green curtain.
Behind the door, there was nothing but emptiness. However, when looking through the curtain, Angor could see a bright light.
This light was softer than the gas lamps in Geng Gui's space, and it wasn't dazzling either. It looked like real natural light.
The light shone through the curtain and cast a green shadow on the corridor.
As Angor approached the arched door, he could smell the fragrance of the flowers on the vines. Together with the swaying shadows on the ground, it was quite a pleasant scene.
However, although they could see the bright light behind the curtains, they couldn't see what it was like inside.
However, from these known details, it was basically certain that there was a space behind the wooden arch.
It had to be the special space where Sweet Dream was kept.
Geng Gui stopped and said to Angor, "That's Paradise Lost, where Sweet Dream is located."
"Paradise Lost? Did the Wise Sovereign give it that name? "
Geng Gui was about to answer when he heard a calm voice coming from behind the door. "No, I named it Paradise Lost."
As the voice faded, a figure floated out of the arched door.
Yes, the figure "floated" out.
Angor didn't know why. But judging from the figure's long silver hair, which was longer than his height, Angor guessed that the figure was trying to avoid dragging his hair on the ground.
"We meet again." The cold voice came from the figure.
Angor looked at the silver-haired girl and bowed slightly. "Yes. I didn't think we'd meet again so soon, Lady Laplace."
It was Laplace, who gave them a message not long ago.
Geng Gui told Angor that Laplace would follow Angor's scent and come to him. Angor thought Laplace would wait for a while.
He didn't expect that Laplace would arrive earlier than him and even enter Paradise Lost.
Laplace floated in the air and looked down at Angor without showing any emotion. "Paradise Lost is a name I found in the memory of a mirror. Do you have a problem with the name? "
"No, I don't."
When he heard the name 'Paradise Lost', he subconsciously felt that it didn't seem like the style of the Wise Ruler, which was why he asked. He didn't mean anything else.
However, Laplace seemed to be quite interested in the name of Paradise Lost. "Have you heard of Paradise Lost?" Angor nodded.
Angor glanced at Laplace in confusion. Was there some other secret about this place?
"No. This is the first time I've heard of it."
Laplace stared at Angor for a few seconds and slowly lowered his eyebrows. He didn't mention Paradise Lost again.
"Shall we go in now, mister?" Geng Gui asked.
Angor was about to answer when he noticed Geng Gui's strange expression. Geng Gui was still chatting with him, but now, Geng Gui was lowering his head and trying to hide behind him.
It seemed Geng Gui was afraid of Laplace.
Even when he asked Angor if he wanted to enter Paradise Lost, he acted as if he was in a hurry to complete the quest, which was completely different from his previous unhurried attitude.
Did Laplace do something to Geng Gui before? Was that why it was so afraid of Laplace?
Angor didn't ask the question, but when he saw Geng Gui's head almost reaching its chest, he couldn't help but say, "Alright, let's go in."
"Yes, mister. Just give me the key, and I'll —"
Before Geng Gui could finish, Laplace cut him off. "No need. I'll take him in."
Since Laplace was the one who fixed Paradise Lost, Geng Gui didn't need the key to enter.
Geng Gui: "But …"
Laplace looked at Geng Gui and whispered, "You can come with us if you want."
Geng Gui quickly waved his hands and stepped back. "I-I'll just wait outside. I'll pass. "
Angor was sure Geng Gui was afraid of Laplace. Well, "afraid" wasn't the right word. If Geng Gui was really afraid of Laplace, the Wise Sovereign wouldn't have sent him to Laplace in the first place.
It was more like … fear and respect.
Angor wasn't sure why Geng Gui was afraid of Laplace. Was it because of Laplace's special identity, or was it because Geng Gui was a "Child of Mirror"? Regardless of the reason, Angor couldn't ask Geng Gui in front of Laplace.
So he had to give up.
He nodded to Geng Gui and bowed to Laplace. "Thank you, Lady Laplace."
Laplace didn't say anything and simply controlled a strand of silver hair. She tied one end of the strand to Angor's arm.
Next, Angor felt something pulling the strand.
He did not resist. Instead, he leaped into the wooden door and entered it.
As soon as he entered the door, Laplace's silver hair automatically turned into a shining silver barrier to protect Angor from the oppressive spatial energy.
The silver barrier lasted for about ten seconds. When it disappeared, Angor found himself in a dreamy garden filled with the fragrance of flowers and birds.
The reason why he called it a 'dream' was because everything in front of him was so beautiful that it seemed unreal.
Here, the wind had different colors. The dense green wind blew with vitality. Everywhere it went, all trees would be rejuvenated. Fresh flowers bloomed on the ground, bringing with them the fragrance of the rising sun.
The purple wind blew in a dazzling manner. As long as there were flowers in its path, the petals would be like angry Buddha lotuses. Each petal was carried into the wind by the purple wind and drifted along with it.
A gust of purple wind blew in front of him, which brought countless petals to the ground like rain.
The petals sank into the ground as soon as they touched the ground. When the green wind came again, they would break out of the ground again.
The dark green wind and the dark purple wind were like a cycle of life and death. But it didn't look cruel at all. Instead, it looked like a fairytale that had been painted over.
Apart from these, there were also other winds with different colors.
The milky white wind carried raindrops, the beige wind was a "flying carpet" for birds, and the pink wind was a hotbed for giant trees.
It was Angor's first time seeing such colorful and dreamy winds.
However, were these colored winds really wind? There should be other forces mixed within them, right?
Angor wanted to sense them, but he didn't want to because Laplace was right beside him.
He considered for a moment and looked at Laplace. "Miss Laplace, I have a favor to ask."
Laplace still hadn't landed on the ground. However, her silver hair seemed to weave into a throne, allowing her to float in the air in a sitting position.
"You asked Er Bao to bring me here to ask for my help, right? No matter what you want me to do for you, since I'm already here, you might as well tell me. No need to be so tactful. I don't like humans. "
It seemed that Laplace was willing to help Angor. But Angor believed that Laplace wouldn't help him for free.
Did she have other intentions? Did she want to get the other answers to her previous question from him?
Laplace saw Angor's expression and understood what he meant.
"You're right. I can't help you for free, but I'm not going to do it for free. But I don't know what I want you to do in return. After all, I don't even know what you're going to do.
"I will keep your every question and request in mind. The accumulation of them will determine what you need in return.
"At the same time, if I have any questions or requests during this process, and you answer my questions and respond to my requests, I will also remember it in my heart. Including the questions you answered me outside, I've also remembered them in my heart. "
"If I judge that your contribution is greater than mine, I'll compensate you instead of asking for something in return."
To put it simply, it was an equal trade.
However, he couldn't tell what he needed in return yet. Both of them had their own questions and requests.
Still, with this "deal" in mind, Angor felt a lot more confident.
Now that he knew what to do, he wasn't worried anymore.
"Miss Laplace, you should know that I have a wind creature as a follower. It's now inside my bracelet, and I want to let it out. Can I?"
Of course, he was talking about Speedy.
The wind here was strange, and Angor was curious about it. However, it would take him a lot of time to figure it out on his own.
However, it was a different story if it was the Speed Spirit. It was a Wind Elemental creature, so it should be able to figure out the truth of the wind here much faster than him.
"Okay." Laplace didn't say anything else and nodded in agreement.
However, Angor didn't release Speedy right away. Instead, he looked at Laplace to see if Laplace had any other questions or requests.
Laplace shook her head. "You don't have to ask me something that doesn't matter. Since the Wise Lord let you in and allowed you to bring that thing with you … "
Laplace pointed at Dangros, who was sitting on Angor's shoulder.
"That means he agreed to let you bring an elemental creature here. Of course, I can't refuse."
"That won't be part of your request."
"And even if it is, I don't have anything to ask you right now. You don't have to ask for an answer."
