The bunny girl tried her best to argue, but Laplace only gave her a cold stare.
Of course, Angor didn't know the exact details. He could only guess based on the girl's expression.
In the end, the rabbit girl pouted and walked to the side unwillingly.
After "convincing" the bunny girl, Laplace looked at Angor. "Shall we go?"
Angor nodded without hesitation. "Yes."
He didn't know where Laplace was taking him, but he didn't sense any malicious intent. Besides, if Laplace really wanted to do something to him, Angor wouldn't be able to resist anyway. There was no need to ask for Angor's opinion.
Laplace turned around and led the way. He humphed as he approached the bunny girl. The bunny girl hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she lowered her head and volunteered to lead the way.
They didn't leave through the main entrance. Instead, Laplace created a small crack in the wall, which led them to a corridor made of glass. Walking through the glass corridor, he could clearly see everything around him. When he looked down, he saw One-Eyed Dabao sitting alone outside, waiting for him.
But One-Eyed Dabao didn't notice the corridor at all. It was as if they were in two different dimensions.
"This is my Corridor of Mirrors. You can think of it as a plane passageway from the main world. No one can see us here." Laplace whispered to Angor as he saw Angor walking toward Dabao.
"So, Miss Laplace, you can use the corridor to enter the mirror space?" Angor used an illusion to create an earring. The earring was made of four silver ornaments. The triangle was the outermost shape, the two rectangles inside the triangle, and the circle inside the rectangles slowly rotated.
The earring was the physical key given to Angor by the Wise Man, which was one of the keys needed to open the door to the mirror space.
Laplace glanced at the earring. "I can come and go as I please. But the Wise Man or anyone else will need a key to enter the mirror space."
Angor glanced at the bunny girl. "You can come and go as you please, right?"
Angor saw Luigi's body entering the mirror space with his own eyes.
Laplace did not deny it. "Yes."
"If I want to study Sweet Dream again, can I ask Lady Laplace or your real self to take me to the Mirror Dimension?"
"You don't have to keep adding the 'Lady' suffix." After a pause, Laplace continued, "I can, but since I gave the Sweet Dream to the Wise Man, if you want to go in again, you'd better tell him."
"Of course," Angor chuckled.
While they were talking, the corridor in the mirror was already far away from the periphery of the mirror domain, and they could no longer see Dabao. When he looked down, he saw pieces of broken glass that glowed like stars in the night sky.
Below the stars, Angor occasionally saw some mirrors covering the dome. These mirrors were not so easily broken. At least, they were perfectly fine before the dome was destroyed.
Occasionally, he could see some shadows moving around inside the mirrors. Perhaps they were the mirror creatures living in them.
According to Angor's guess, the mirrors above the dome were the relatively stable areas of the Mirror Domain. Most of the mirror creatures lived in this kind of mirror space.
Angor had to admit that the living conditions here were worse than he thought.
Suddenly, he heard someone speaking in a timid voice beside him. "You're right.
"Mister … Angor?"
Angor turned around and saw the bunny girl quietly retreating to his side. It was the bunny girl who greeted him.
Angor glanced at Laplace out of reflex and saw that Laplace was walking in front of him. It did not seem like Laplace cared about the bunny girl.
"Just call me Angor, or you can —" Angor suddenly stopped. He was going to say, "You can also call me Brother Padt if you want." But when he looked back, he realized that he was much younger than the rabbit girl.
Regardless of age, he didn't think he was smarter than the rabbit girl in terms of intelligence.
What the rabbit girl showed was that she was very young, and she had some seemingly childish hobbies, but hobbies and intelligence could not be equated. Many adults liked to collect dolls too. Did that mean they were not mature enough? No.
Therefore, Angor did not deserve to be called "brother" in terms of age and intelligence.
"Can also what?" The bunny girl tilted her head.
Angor cleared his throat. "Nothing. Just call me Angor."
Angor was glad that he stopped himself in time. Otherwise, it would be very awkward.
The bunny girl did not think too much about it. "Then, Angor, can I ask you a question in private?"
Angor: Don't think I'm being discreet just because I lowered my voice. What can you do to stop Laplace from asking?
Angor complained in his mind, but at least he had an answer to one of his questions.
The bunny girl rarely talked to him. Or maybe it was because of her personality that she always treated everyone with caution, except for … Luigi.
This was why Angor was surprised when the bunny girl suddenly came to him.
Now, it made sense that the bunny girl wanted to ask a question.
"Of course. But I don't think I can answer many of them."
He agreed without hesitation because he believed that he would not be able to answer the rabbit girl's question. Judging from how the bunny girl showed him the way unwillingly, she probably wanted to ask about their "destination". Angor did not even know where the destination was. How could he possibly answer a question like this?
To his surprise, the girl did not ask about their destination. Instead, it was about Angor himself.
The bunny girl looked around, especially Laplace. When she was sure that Laplace was not looking at her, she whispered into Angor's ear, "Can you tell me how to not be afraid of my true form?"
Angor: "???"
Laplace, who was walking in front of Angor, also stopped walking. "…"
The bunny girl thought Angor did not understand her question, so she explained further, "I already noticed that you're different from the others. You don't show any fear when facing my true form. You … Why aren't you afraid at all? Even the Wise Overlords bow to my true form in the Mirror Domain. Can you teach me? I promise I'll learn it in secret and never tell anyone else. "
It sounded like a threat at first, but after listening for a while, one would realize that the bunny girl was really asking why he could face Laplace so calmly … There was a high chance that Laplace's tough attitude had caused this poor child to become a little rebellious.
As far as the bunny girl was concerned, no one else could do it, not even the Wise Overlords.
How did Angor do it? If he could do it, would he be able to teach her and not be afraid of her true form?
Angor did not know how to answer. He could not say that he would just use his trump card. As long as he did not kill Laplace instantly, he still had the support of the entire Brute Cavern.
"Don't worry about it." Laplace sent him a voice transmission. "You don't have to worry about that."
After pausing for a moment, Laplace continued, "Her problem wasn't caused by me. It's my true form's idea. Maybe it has something to do with my curiosity when I was young. "
In other words, the question had nothing to do with Laplace, so Angor did not need to answer it.
Despite that, Angor only smiled when he saw the girl's expectant look. "I don't know how to answer it either. How about this? I'll tell you a story. "
"A story?" The bunny girl frowned.
Angor nodded and began to tell the story in a serious tone. The story was called "A Newborn Calf Fears Nothing".
In short, a newborn calf does not fear a tiger.
The bunny girl still didn't quite understand. Angor continued with a smile, "Of course, the most important thing is that Lady Laplace didn't bare her fangs at me. If she did, I'd have to lie flat on the ground."
The rabbit girl asked, "Then why aren't you afraid when you know that it has fangs?"
"Maybe I'm too slow to react?"
"Are you lying to me?" The bunny girl looked at him doubtfully.
"No," Angor shook his head. "Being slow means being confused. Sometimes, it's better to be confused than to be clear-headed."
The rabbit girl still had a look of disbelief on her face. At this moment, Laplace said, "You're no longer whispering. You're openly provoking me."
The bunny girl stood at attention and spoke in a timid voice, "I-I … I'm sorry."
Laplace humphed. "Lead the way if you know you're wrong."
The bunny girl pouted but did not say anything. She walked to the front again.
Laplace gave Angor a meaningful glance. She did not say anything. "We're almost there."
With that, Laplace turned away and did not say anything else.
Although Laplace did not say anything, she was actually considering Angor's words.
Living in a daze was indeed more comfortable than living in a clear state of mind. Take Angor for example. If he always lowered his head in front of her, it would be impossible for her to work with him later.
If Angor was afraid of her, he would never show her the Dream Crystal, which contained a great destiny, or ask her to kill the "Cleaners".
When Angor talked to her, he was respectful but also fearless. It was because of this sense of propriety that they were able to reach a harmonious relationship.
Was Angor being confused?
Maybe.
Ordinary wizards would always be afraid of her, the Wise Overseer, and Adanis. If they really wanted to talk to her in a plain tone, they would have to pretend to be confused.
But Laplace believed that Angor did not really tell her the answer.
Confusion was a glossy answer. Perhaps there was a deeper truth hidden behind the "confusion".
Knowledge.
Or maybe a trump card.
Laplace did not believe that Angor could gain the favor of Adanis if he did not have such knowledge. She also did not believe that the Wise Overseer was willing to give up her path for him.
Inside the Dream Crystal, Laplace also saw a small part of Angor's knowledge. Or rather, the fact that Angor could create a Dream Crystal was more than enough proof.
A truly foolish person would not dare to face the abyss directly.
Angor was only pretending to be foolish, but his mind was clear as day.
…
After walking for about three minutes, Angor noticed that his surroundings were getting more and more ridiculous.
Earlier, he saw mirrors turning into starlight. At that time, he was already very shocked, but now, he saw … a galaxy.
A galaxy visible to the naked eye.
If the starlight from before was considered sporadic, then the Milky Way in front of him was densely packed. Countless mirrors were being created and destroyed in this place. It seemed like there was no end to them. Every half a second, a mirror would shatter, and a new one would appear in the next and continue to shatter.
He thought he saw something terrible in the starlight. But the real horror was this galaxy of hell!
Angor felt a chill down his spine as he looked at the broken mirrors.
If he fell into this place, his fate would be even worse than falling into the Sea of Mirrors.
At least, the Sea of Mirrors could turn someone into a hollow being. But this place was more than enough to kill him.
Different worlds had their own powerful forces.
And this was the power of the Mirror Domain.
He didn't think he could survive such a powerful force. But to his surprise, he also saw many mirrors covering the ceiling of the "Milky Way".
These mirrors with domes seemed out of place in the incessant starlight, but they also made people feel astonished.
Based on his previous experience, could there be mirror creatures in these mirrors as well?
"That's the Hundred Dragons Divine Kingdom," Laplace explained.
"Huh?"
Laplace pointed at one of the blood-red domes. "You were looking at that, weren't you? That's the Hundred Dragon Kingdom. It's the habitat of the mirror dragons."
There are dragons in the mirror?
Before Angor could fully digest the information, Laplace pointed at several domes nearby.
"That golden dome over there is the only gathering place of all races in the Eternal Mirror Sea. It's called the City of Hot Gold."
"A gathering place of all races?"
Laplace said casually, "Previously, the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom only had the Mirror Dragons, and only the Mirror Dragons were allowed to enter. But the City of Hot Gold allows all kinds of mirror creatures to enter. But that's just a theory. Any mirror creature that can survive in the Eternal Mirror Sea and reach the City of Hot Gold is no weakling. "
