Angor glanced at the City of Gold from afar.
At first glance, the city looked tiny compared to the vast galaxy of broken stars. However, when he looked at the mirror surfaces that were constantly shattering and the flowing and changing Milky Way, in comparison, the dome that had remained unchanged for a long time seemed even more tenacious.
It was like a stalk of grass in a storm, stubbornly clinging to the ground and refusing to be blown away by the wind.
"If this place is so dangerous, why did the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom and the City of Gold stay here?"
Laplace said indifferently, "You should have guessed it."
"Is it the energy of convergence?"
Laplace nodded. "It's true that mirrors are dangerous. But each time they break, they release a part of their convergence energy."
Angor already had a general idea of what was going on.
Each time a mirror broke, it would release convergence energy. Here, in this galaxy, there were countless broken mirrors, and they were coming in an endless stream. One could only imagine how much convergence energy was being released every second.
In order for a mirror creature to grow stronger, it had to absorb convergence energy.
Therefore, no matter how dangerous this place was, there would always be mirror creatures who would find a way to survive.
For example, the City of Gold, or the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom.
"There's more than one way to generate convergence energy, right?" Angor asked.
"Of course. As long as the mirror reflects the outside world, convergence energy will be generated. But it's not as fast as the mirror breaking. Also, the Empty Mirror Sea is full of convergence energy. "
Angor wasn't surprised that the Empty Mirror Sea had convergence energy. Without convergence energy, Laplace's main body wouldn't stay in the Empty Mirror Sea.
"Are there many places like this?" Angor pointed at the galaxy below them.
"There are a lot of Eternal Mirror Seas," Laplace said. "Like the mountains and rivers in your human world, they can be found all over the Mirror Realm."
The Eternal Mirror Sea was the galaxy Angor was talking about.
"You can say that the Mirror Realm has the most Eternal Mirror Seas. But different Eternal Mirror Seas have different sparseness and strength of converged energy. "
"There aren't many Eternal Mirror Seas that are suitable for absorbing polymerization energy and have a controllable strength."
Angor nodded. In other words, there were very few places suitable for a mirror creature to build something like the "City of Gold". Using mountains and rivers as an example, the Eternal Mirror Sea was like the famous mountains and rivers recognized by humans. Compared to unknown barren mountains, there were definitely fewer of them.
While they were talking, a strange multi-faceted crystal suddenly rushed into the Milky Way from the void below.
From the looks of it, its destination seemed to be Gold Rush City.
Amidst the shattering starlight of the Milky Way, the multi-faceted prism crystal was also being eroded and digested. At this time, the layers of prism crystals on its body fell. When these prism crystals collided with the broken mirror, the starlight dimmed a little. This meant that it had slightly delayed the shattering of the mirror.
Taking advantage of the dim starlight, the polygonal crystal rushed into the City of Hot Gold.
What was worth mentioning was that when the multi-faceted prism crystal entered the Hot Gold City, almost all of the prism crystals around it had fallen off, revealing the true appearance of the multi-faceted prism crystal.
It was a creature wearing a fluffy skirt and holding an umbrella that looked like a bowl cover. At first glance, it looked like a humanoid creature. However, when it entered the dome of Hot Gold City, it tilted its head and let Angor see its true appearance. Its face was full of crystals, and there was only one vertical eye in the center.
"It's a Crystaleye Race," Laplace explained when he saw Angor staring at the mirror creature.
Crystaleyes were a common race in the Mirror Realm. They came in all shapes and sizes, depending on how they were willing to pile up their crystals. The crystals could be piled up into the shape of a human, a geometric figure, or even a pure mirror. The Crystaleyes all had different appearances, but one thing was for sure — they all had a very beautiful eye.
Angor tried to recall. The vertical eye of the Crystaleye Race looked strange, but it was indeed beautiful if he looked at it alone. It was as clear as a crystal.
"I saw that Crystaleye Race creature entering the City of Hot Gold without any restrictions. Doesn't the Hot Gold City require any conditions to open its gate? "
Laplace said, "Like I said, everyone who can come here is a powerful being. Being powerful is one of the conditions.
"Apart from that, there are no other conditions. However, if something happens to the dome of Hot Gold City, it will affect the whole situation. The people inside will also be affected. So, if the dome cracks or even breaks, everyone inside, including the powerful beings who came here, will have to contribute their strength. This is the hidden condition that allows Hot Gold City to accommodate all races. "
In other words, as long as nothing happened, this place would be a free training ground. However, when something happened, no one would be able to escape. They all had to protect the safety of Hot Gold City.
In a way, this was a trade.
It could even be manipulated in secret. Sometimes, even if nothing happened to the dome, the city lord could still conquer all races as long as he wanted.
For example, if he felt that the dome was not secure enough, he could make some noise so that the powerful beings would have to step in to protect it.
Of course, this was only Angor's imagination. He didn't know if such a thing would actually happen.
Laplace said, "The people who made the rules of Hot Gold City are very smart. It's because they opened the door that a large number of powerhouses entered Hot Gold City, which allowed the dome to remain intact."
"Accommodating all races … Can humans go in too?" Angor asked.
Laplace glanced at Angor. "Do you want to go in?"
"It's a rare chance to come to this place. If I have time, I'd like to see what this place looks like."
Laplace waved a hand and changed the direction of the mirror corridor. Instead of the dark void, Angor saw a shining golden dome.
"If you want to go, then let's go." Laplace didn't say anything else and walked forward.
Angor was surprised by Laplace's sudden change of attitude.
He didn't say that out of politeness. He even said "if I have time", which meant that he didn't have that much time to waste here. He was planning to leave the underground ruin as soon as possible to study the properties of Paradise and Sweet Dreams.
Therefore, he wanted to take a look at the Hot Gold City, but it was just a thought. He didn't have to go.
However, Laplace simply waved a hand and changed their route to Hot Gold City.
Angor didn't know what to do.
He had a lot of things he wanted to say, but in the end, he kept them to himself and followed Laplace.
He didn't know where Laplace was going to take him anyway. Since he already had enough time, he didn't want to waste it.
He was already here, after all.
…
"The mirror corridor won't be affected by the Eternal Mirror Sea?" Angor looked around and saw that they were still above the galaxy earlier. Now, the mirror corridor had fallen into the galaxy.
Because of this, Angor could clearly see the mirrors around them flickering in and out of existence.
Laplace said indifferently, "Most mirror corridors will be affected by the Eternal Mirror Sea, but mine won't."
Laplace didn't explain why, and Angor didn't ask. There were only two possible reasons. Either Laplace was strong, or Laplace was the daughter of the White Sun Mirror Domain.
"Will it be okay to use the mirror corridor to get to Hot Gold City?"
If Laplace's mirror corridor was so special, wouldn't they become the center of attention if they entered the city? It should be noted that the creatures of the Crystal Eye Clan had shed several layers of skin when they entered the Hot Gold City.
Laplace shook his head. "The creatures inside can't see what's outside. Even if they can, they won't know that we're going to use the corridor. Many living beings in the Dream Realm have the ability to conceal themselves, even in the Eternal Mirror Sea. "
"Is it really okay to go in human form?" Angor asked.
Laplace shook his head again. "No problem. Didn't you ask before if humans could enter? I can answer you now. Yes. "
"My true form has never been to Hot Gold City, but both Gleipnir and Little Laplace have." Laplace also added "Little" in front of the rabbit girl's name so that Angor would be able to tell them apart more easily.
"According to their memories, there are humans in Hot Gold City. Not many. But there are quite a few humanoid creatures. "
In other words, even a human being could enter Hot Gold City without any problem, let alone a humanoid form.
When the Hot Gold City said that it could "accommodate all races", it was not just for show.
It didn't matter which race you came from, as long as you could reach Hot Gold City, you would be able to enter.
As they approached the golden dome, Angor decided to ask the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Speaking of which, where are we going?"
Angor didn't plan to ask since he knew that Laplace wouldn't hurt him anyway. If that was the case, Laplace wouldn't have waited until now.
But now, they were going to Gold City instead. Even though Angor was the one who suggested it, it would still take some time. So, Angor wanted to know where they were going. And what were they going to do there? At least it would be easier for him to make a plan. For example, since they were already in Hot Gold City, should they take a closer look around or just look around?
"We're going to Little Laplace's home," said Laplace.
Angor guessed that the destination had something to do with the rabbit girl. Otherwise, the girl wouldn't have been so anxious.
To his surprise, Laplace took him straight to the rabbit girl's home.
"Isn't Little Laplace's home in the Sea of Mirrors?"
Angor wanted to ask if the rabbit girl's home wasn't Laplace's home. But after thinking for a while, he changed his question.
"No, it's not in the Sea of Mirrors. Little Laplace's home is a special reflecting space. You'll know when you get there. "
Since Laplace didn't want to explain further, Angor sighed and didn't ask any more questions.
They did not speak along the way. Soon, they arrived outside the golden dome.
"Are we going in directly? Or a disguise? "
Laplace gave Angor a strange look. "Do as you wish."
Since Laplace said so, Angor didn't mind it. He stretched his face a little, and with a series of cracking sounds, his bones, skin, hair, and clothes all changed.
Both Laplace and the rabbit girl fell silent when they saw Angor's new appearance.
Angor's new appearance was exactly Luigi's!
Not only did Angor mimicked Luigi's appearance, but his aura was also the same as Luigi's. Even the faintly lingering polymerization energy around Luigi was simulated by him.
Laplace was also taken aback by Angor's sudden transformation.
Laplace reached out a hand and removed some of the condensed energy from Angor's body. "What you're doing right now …" Laplace reached out a hand and removed some of the condensed energy around Angor's body.
Only then did he realize that the converged energy was actually … fake.
The energy used to mimic Luigi's body was strange. It seemed to have faint green runes on it.
"What's wrong?" Angor looked at Laplace.
Laplace wanted to ask what this energy was, but after a moment of silence, she didn't say anything. Perhaps this was Angor's talent. It wasn't polite to ask a random question.
Laplace shook her head. "Nothing. Are you sure you want to imitate Luigi?"
Angor checked his body carefully. "Is there something wrong?"
"No, there's nothing wrong. It's very similar."
"Are you really Angor? Not Brother Luigi?" The rabbit girl asked.
Angor smiled and raised a hand. A harp appeared in his hand. Along with his plucking, the melodious sound of the harp reached everyone's ears. Angor cleared his throat and spoke in Luigi's voice.
"Rivers, stars, waves, all are magnificent.
"Homes, lights, they don't shine on me."
The rabbit girl's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe it.
This was Luigi's favorite line. He used it to show how miserable he was and how lonely he was.
Angor's Luigi didn't look strange at all.
For a moment, they felt as if Luigi was really standing in front of them.
Laplace gave Angor a thoughtful look. "You do look like Luigi. It's hard to tell. But you should change your appearance. Luigi's reputation isn't very good in this mirror area. "
Angor wanted to say that it didn't matter since it was only for a while.
But when he saw Laplace's subtle hint and the deep meaning in his tone, he finally nodded.
Happy New Year!
