"What else? I'll let you explain your reasons for each condition. I don't agree with the first three, but I'll accept them. What about the last one? Why do you need something 'extremely powerful'? "
Laplace looked at Angor and continued, "Since we're only going to drag an inanimate object into the Dream Realm, what's the point?"
Having the ability to attack meant that it needed to fight.
But Angor didn't mention anything about that at all.
Laplace had never been to the Dream Realm, but she knew that the place was huge and impossible to locate. This was why the Dream Whelk was considered useless in the Dream Realm. No one would be able to find it after entering the Dream Realm.
Since any inanimate object would be completely lost once it was pulled into the Dream Realm, there was no difference between extraordinary items with offensive capabilities and ordinary items without offensive capabilities.
Then what was Angor's purpose for attacking something so powerful?
Angor tried his best to explain everything to Laplace. But this one … he thought for a while and said, "I have my reasons for this condition. I can't explain it yet, but if my research succeeds, I'm sure you'll understand even if I don't.
If it doesn't work, it'll be pointless even if you explain it. "
"You just don't want to explain it," Laplace said in a flat tone.
What Angor just said was true in any of the previous conditions. But Angor chose to say it now, which meant he didn't want to explain it. Or rather, he couldn't come up with an excuse.
Angor didn't respond to Laplace's sarcasm.
"I'll think about it, and I'll give you an answer." Laplace nodded.
Laplace closed her eyes as if telling Angor not to disturb her.
Angor assumed that Laplace was going to discuss with his other incarnations. To avoid being disturbed, Angor stepped aside and waited for Laplace to come back.
While waiting, Angor was calculating the pros and cons in his mind.
He wasn't thinking about the success or failure of his plan. Instead, he was wondering if it was appropriate for Laplace to participate in his plan.
When he told Laplace about part of his plan, he already agreed to let Laplace participate in it. However, this was more of a last resort.
This was because Laplace was an indispensable part of the plan. Without her participation, it would be difficult for the plan to take shape. Therefore, Angor didn't think too much when he told Laplace about his plan. He simply dragged Laplace into it.
Now that he thought about it seriously, he and Laplace had only known each other for a short time. Was it the right choice to include Laplace in the plan?
If Laplace wanted to enter the dream wasteland, Angor would agree. In fact, he already wanted to bring Laplace into the dream wasteland the first time they met. However, Laplace left so quickly that Angor didn't even get a chance to talk to him.
But this time, he was not asking Laplace to enter the dream wilderness but creating a new 'dream wilderness' with him. Was it really appropriate?
He could not come up with a definite answer even after thinking for a while.
However, he had figured out one thing.
His vision and outlook were still too narrow.
If he were to think about whether it was suitable or not, he would just be looking for trouble.
He would have to wait for the final result to determine whether it was suitable or not.
If Angor succeeded in creating a new dream wasteland, Laplace would definitely be a suitable candidate. After experiencing the destruction of the Abyss Wasteland, Angor knew how difficult it was to create a new dream wasteland. Even if Laplace didn't play a role in "harmony", Angor would consider it as a success. After all, "harmony" wasn't always reliable. Angor couldn't ask the mirror world's consciousness whether Laplace influenced it or not. So as long as it worked, Angor would consider it as working.
If Angor failed and failed to create a new dream wasteland, then … it wouldn't mean that Laplace wasn't suitable.
Angor could only say that everything was normal.
The probability of success was low, while the probability of failure was higher. Failure was the normal way to go about it.
Failure didn't mean anything. Even if Laplace became suspicious, Angor would just have to lie to her.
Since he already failed, he could make up whatever story he wanted. There was no need for him to tell Laplace about the dream wasteland's structure, the whole story, and all the other benefits of the dream wasteland.
So, there was no such thing as "suitable".
To put it bluntly, creating a new dream wasteland was a grand plan. But since Angor didn't make proper preparations in advance, such a grand plan lost some of its weight in Angor's mind.
Because of this, Angor only cared about trivial gains and losses.
But in the grand scheme of history, such trivial matters didn't matter at all.
After realizing this, Angor calmed down a lot.
Several minutes later, Laplace finally came back to her senses. She glanced at Angor who wasn't far away. "I agree. But I'll tell you a few things. "
Angor nodded. "Go ahead."
Laplace: "Two points. First, according to what you said, you can't take the initiative to inspect or touch the items I take out. "
"Sure," Angor said without hesitation.
Laplace continued, "Second, the item I'm giving you is indeed powerful, but it's in an inert state. Without the correct activation method, it won't do anything. Once activated, it won't kill the beasts outside the ancient city, but it should be able to hurt them. This is the best I can do based on your four conditions. "
Laplace might have other methods that could do more damage to the beasts, but they wouldn't meet Angor's requirements.
Therefore, she said that she would try her best to fulfill Angor's request by using the most powerful attack.
After a pause, Laplace continued, "But I won't tell you how to activate it."
Angor nodded again. "No problem."
Laplace said, "Since you've agreed, I'll have Luigi bring you the items you need. It might take some time. My main body is deep inside the Mirror Sea. "
"I understand." By the way, I have a small favor to ask of you, Ms. Laplace. "
Laplace said, "Like I said before, if you have any questions or requests, you can tell me directly. I'll decide for myself whether I agree or not."
"I hope you won't tell anyone about what happened here today, Miss Laplace. What happened today, or what will happen in the near future."
Laplace considered for a moment and nodded. "Sure. But you'll have to do it as well. "
She didn't want to tell anyone about the murals either.
"I'm afraid I can't."
Laplace narrowed her eyes and gave Angor a cold stare.
"I'll tell some people about my research on Sweet Dream. If I fail, I'll need someone to help me find my mistakes. If I succeed, I'll need someone to help me further optimize my research.
But I won't tell you anything else. For example, I won't tell anyone about the murals in this mirror space unless you agree. "
Laplace gave it some thought and agreed with Angor. Although there were many adepts who would conduct their own research, most of these adepts were experienced, long-lived, and had reached a certain level of strength and knowledge.
Angor, on the other hand, was still young. He didn't have enough experience and knowledge, so it was only natural that he would need someone to fill in the gaps.
As long as Angor didn't tell anyone about the murals, Laplace agreed. "Fine."
After the agreement was made, the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. Luigi wasn't here yet, so they couldn't start their research.
They didn't know what to say to each other.
Angor considered for a moment and looked away from Laplace to Veling, who was still standing in the distance.
Ever since Su Ling came to this reflective space and saw the colorful wind, he was like a wild horse that had escaped its reins. He blended into the wind and didn't come back for some reason.
Angor didn't pay much attention to Veling because he was busy trying to decipher the murals.
Now, when he followed the power of the contract and looked at Su Ling, he was suddenly stunned, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
This was because Su Ling's current actions were truly amusing.
Veling wasn't far from him. He was just hanging around the tree's waist.
Veling turned his body into a beige color, which matched the color of the wind around him. Then, he mimicked the wind's trajectory and turned himself into a "wind carpet", which seemed to be attracting the birds on the tree branches to him.
However, these birds were born together with the beige wind. When combined together, they would become the key to the tree house, while the birds would turn into lanterns to illuminate the hall inside the tree trunk.
Veling couldn't attract the birds even though he mimicked the wind's appearance.
After chasing several birds without success, Su Ling was very disheartened.
Just then, Angor looked at him.
Veling seemed a little embarrassed. He shook his body, and his beige "coat" disappeared. Then, he quietly flew back to Angor's side.
Angor tried his best to hold back his laughter and wanted to ask what Veling was doing.
But before he could ask, Veling already looked at the pink wind on top of the tree again.
"Hey, stop messing around. Other colors are fine, but now you're going after the pink wind? You better stay away from the wind if you don't want to sleep forever, "Angor said in a low voice.
Following Angor's order, Speed Spirit stopped moving forward.
However, Veling's "inner ape" didn't stop there. After a moment of hesitation, he sent a request to Angor through the contract.
Veling's request was straightforward. He wanted to experience the pink wind up close.
The reason he gave was that the wind here was completely different from his, which could give him some enlightenment.
"Enlightenment" was translated by Angor. Veling was even worse than Dankros when it came to expressing things. Veling was trying to say that after fusing with the wind, he obtained many indescribable wind laws, which seemed to be beneficial to him.
But that was only "seemed".
When Angor tried to ask further, Veling couldn't give him an answer.
This was also why he used "Enlightenment". He did not know if it could be used in real life.
He wasn't sure if it would work, but since Speed Spirit rarely asked him for help, he considered and looked at Laplace.
After explaining the situation to Laplace, Laplace didn't ask any questions. He waved a hand and summoned a small ball of pink wind from the center of the tree, which then stopped beside Veling.
After getting Angor's permission, Veling quickly turned into a fish and dived into the pink wind to become one with it.
Since they were both wind elemental creatures, Veling seemed to have disappeared from Angor's sight. Without the power of the contract, Angor wouldn't have been able to tell where Veling was.
Veling didn't respond after entering the pink wind. After making sure Veling was safe, Angor left him alone.
…
Time slowly passed, and another hour passed.
Laplace, who was deep in thought, suddenly looked up at the sky.
Angor followed her line of sight in confusion.
In the calm sky, a prismatic crystal suddenly appeared. With the appearance of the crystal, a melodious sound of a zither came from the crystal.
"Standing in the light, trying to feel the glory, my hands are dirty."
"Hiding in the night, unwilling to chase after the stars, yet my feet are busy."
"Rivers, stars, waves, all are magnificent."
"Homes, lights, they do not shine on me."
After the harp, Angor heard an unknown chant.
"He's here," said Laplace.
Angor didn't need to know that "he" was the wandering poet, Luigi.
"Hmm … Should I compliment him for his singing?" Angor asked.
Laplace gave Angor a strange look. "Didn't you notice that his harp doesn't match his chanting?"
Luigi played the harp, and the melodious sound was like a pastoral hymn. However, his incantation sounded like he was groaning for no reason.
Angor wasn't an idiot. He only asked out of politeness since Laplace was around.
"Yeah, it doesn't sound right," Angor agreed.
Laplace glanced at Angor. "He is me, and I am him. Are you accusing me? "
"???"
Laplace turned his head and continued to look at the prism in the sky. "Forget it, it doesn't matter."
Angor didn't know what to say.
Angor didn't know what to say either. He wanted to separate Laplace's and Laplace's identities, but Laplace insisted that they were together. Laplace kept saying "he", "she", "it" as if their actions had nothing to do with him.
Angor didn't know what to say.
He thought for a moment and shook his head. Forget it. Let's just assume they had multiple personalities.
As for whether Laplace would treat them as one person or as three people … Angor would ask Laplace to go to the dream wasteland and see if he could find one or three people?
