Laplace was a little puzzled by Angor's sudden question. She would tell Angor once they entered Rabbit Mountain. There was no need to ask at the entrance.
When Laplace turned around and saw Angor's hesitant expression, she immediately understood what was going on.
Angor didn't ask this out of curiosity. He just wanted to protect the rabbit girl. He wanted to see if he could change his destination and not go to Rabbit Mountain.
Laplace's guess was not wrong, and it was indeed the case.
As far as Angor was concerned, "secret base" wasn't just a name. It was also a place where a child's dreams could be enlightened. It was the source of their dreams. Breaking into the children's secret base would not only leave a dark mark on their childhood, but it could also destroy the dreams they were building.
Therefore, he did not want to intrude upon the rabbit girl's secret base.
Especially when the rabbit girl was clearly resisting, he still insisted on doing it.
Laplace gave Angor a thoughtful look. The rabbit girl was also looking at Angor. Both of them were thinking the same thing, but they were looking at Angor in different ways. Laplace seemed to understand something, while the rabbit girl was still confused.
Laplace considered for a moment and said, "I'm here because it's safe, hidden, and stable."
"What do you mean?"
Laplace whispered, "You can enter the Dream Crystal from the Wizarding World?"
Angor shook his head.
Laplace continued, "Now that you've left the ruins of Nether City, don't you plan on entering the Mirror Realm?"
Angor shook his head again. How could he enter the Dream Crystal without entering the Mirror Realm?
Laplace: "Do you want to enter the Mirror Realm at the smallest cost?"
"… Yes."
Laplace looked at Angor in the eyes. "If so, Rabbit Mountain is a good choice. Rabbit Mountain can be a transit station. As long as you get the permission of the owner of Rabbit Mountain and leave your aura here, you can find a stable mirror surface. Well, the mirror that Tootsie gave you before will do. When you meet these conditions, you can summon the owner of Rabbit Mountain at any place at the lowest cost, that is, little Laplace, to open the mirror passage from the wizarding world to Rabbit Mountain. "
In other words, Rabbit Hill was the best place Laplace chose for Angor.
This was the inner part of the Ghost Mirror Ring, so no mirror creatures would disturb them. Even Adanis could not pass through the Eternal Ghost Mirror to reach this place.
There was a stable space here, so he wouldn't be in any danger because of the tunnel. As long as the rabbit girl agreed, he could bring more people into Rabbit Mountain through the mirror tunnel.
This was why Laplace brought Angor here.
To Laplace, the Dream Crystal was an opportunity that she could not give up. Angor was the owner of the Dream Crystal, so he had to visit the place often. However, Angor was a human, so it would be difficult for him to enter the Mirror Domain.
This was why Laplace had already prepared a path for Angor.
Now he understood Laplace's intention. Laplace was helping him before he could even think of a way out.
Although he was grateful, he still felt a little uneasy.
"Rabbit Hill is the only way?" Angor asked.
"There are other options. For example, Hot Gold City can be used as a bridge. There are many mirror creatures there to maintain the space, so it's stable enough. As for safety … I don't think so. "
However, Hot Gold City was located in the Eternal Mirror Sea, and its dome could be destroyed at any time. Besides, Angor was a human. If he opened a tunnel between two worlds, he would attract the attention of mirror creatures.
Although they didn't encounter any powerful creatures in Hot Gold City, it was only because the powerful creatures were cultivating in their own mirrors. As long as he kept the passage open, the powerful creatures would definitely sense his presence.
Therefore, it was not safe at all.
As for not going to Hot Gold City and finding a random mirror … who knew when the mirror would break?
Rabbit Mountain's special location and unique reflection space could be said to be one of a kind in the Mirror Domain.
Laplace looked at Angor's hesitant expression and asked, "So, you're going to set up a transfer station somewhere else?"
Angor glanced at the rabbit girl who was looking down at the ground. "I heard from Adanis that there's a city here that will never fall."
Every place in the Mirror Domain was at risk of a mirror breaking. However, there was one place that was known as "Unbreakable".
Laplace asked softly, "Are you talking about 'Unfallen Capital'?"
"That should be it. I remember Adanis said its full name is —"
"… Lady Mirror's Unbreakable City."
Angor nodded. "Yes, Lady Mirror's Unbreakable City. Maybe I can set up a transfer station there? "
Laplace considered for a moment. "Yes, that place can be used as a transfer station. But just like Hot Gold City, it's not safe. Powerful mirror creatures can easily spy on you. Unless … you can let Lady Mirror into the city and grant you the right to travel between two worlds in front of the mirror creatures. Do you have a way to get Lady Mirror here? "
Lady Mirror's Unbreakable City was a small experiment she created in the Mirror Domain. She didn't treat it seriously at all. After they were done, they left without a care. They didn't even know that they had turned into a city.
However, the Unfallen Royal City created by Lady Mirror did provide protection for the mirror creatures that came later. They even called themselves Lady Mirror's subordinates and guards.
Lady Mirror didn't know what happened next. She never came back after leaving the Mirror Domain.
As for why she didn't come back? Probably because she was too lazy. Or maybe she didn't care about the Mirror Domain at all.
Even though Laplace knew that Angor was from Brute Cavern and that Lady Mirror was one of the three ancestor souls of Brute Cavern, she never mentioned the idea.
The so-called "Lady Mirror's Unbreakable City" might have the name "Lady Mirror" on the surface, but the mirror creatures inside it were all independent entities.
If Angor wanted to use Lady Mirror's protection to connect the two worlds, no one would really care.
Unless Lady Mirror came in person.
"Can you ask Lady Mirror to come in person?" Laplace asked again.
Angor rubbed his temples. "I can, but not now."
Considering Angor's current status in Brute Cavern, Lady Mirror would definitely help him if Tree Spirit or Rein asked. Besides, even if they didn't ask, Mirror Lady wouldn't reject his request. Considering how close they were, Angor believed that Lady Mirror wouldn't refuse.
However, Lady Mirror was still in hibernation, so it was impossible for her to come in person.
Angor considered. "How about we find an empty mirror for now? I don't need to keep it up for too long."
He didn't know when Lady Mirror would wake up, but she already knew that the next tea party was going to be held at Brute Cavern. Considering Lady Mirror's personality, she wouldn't miss the party.
Angor decided to wait until Lady Mirror woke up and then talk about the transfer station.
As Angor considered his options, the bunny girl finally lifted her head.
She stared at Angor for a while and spoke in a soft but firm voice, "You don't have to go through all that trouble. Just build a transfer station at Rabbit Mountain, and I can give you half — no, a quarter of the base."
Angor didn't expect the bunny girl to speak so suddenly.
He wanted to refuse, but when he looked at the bunny girl, he froze.
She was looking at him in the eyes.
For the first time, the bunny girl didn't avoid his gaze. Instead, she looked at him with a serious expression.
There was no confusion, no fear, and no reluctance.
The bunny girl pouted when Angor didn't respond. "A quarter is already a lot. It's enough for you to build a ranch …"
The bunny girl suddenly thought of something and looked at Angor in shock. "You … You want to build a palace?!"
Angor felt amused. So the rabbit girl's brain was really like a rabbit hole, deep and full of holes?
Angor shook his head. "No, I'm not building a palace."
"A quarter then. A quarter is enough for you to build a ranch," the bunny girl said.
Angor felt a little helpless. He didn't say anything about building a ranch.
But looking at the bunny girl's serious expression, Angor suddenly recalled the time when he shared his secret base with Leon when he was a child.
The secret base was a child's dream. It was the source of dreams. Destroying it or invading it would cast a shadow on one's childhood.
But if the "owner" of the base voluntarily shared the secret of the base, it would be a different story.
It was a kind of "acknowledgment".
Looking at the rabbit girl's expression that was no longer timid, the solemn look in her eyes, and the murmuring of schemes in her mouth … …
He smiled and didn't refuse again. "Alright then. We'll build a transfer station at Rabbit Mountain. A quarter is enough. I don't want to build a ranch anyway. How about I build a rabbit park? "
The bunny girl's eyes lit up. "A rabbit park? A rabbit park? What kind of rabbit park? "
Angor rubbed his chin. "Something like a rabbit theater, a rabbit ferris wheel, a rabbit roller coaster, a rabbit merry-go-round, a rabbit cave haunted house, a rabbit drink shop … What else do you think?"
The bunny girl looked at Angor with a yearning look. She only responded with a confused "ah" when Angor asked her.
Then, the rabbit girl thought anxiously. After a long while, she said, "Can I add a Rabbit Circus?"
"Sure. But the circus needs performers. How about I make some alchemy puppets? Or maybe I can combine the circus's performance with a logging device and watch the performance to enter the Dream Crystal? "
Angor began to fantasize about the rabbit park. The bunny girl's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Her cheeks turned red from excitement. She even clenched her fists and shook them up and down while imagining the wonderful rabbit park.
If Angor could really build a rabbit park, she would gladly give up half of it, let alone a quarter!
However, the bunny girl managed to control her excitement. It was just a dream, a concept. She could only get excited when Angor actually tried it out.
The bunny girl did not know if Angor would actually try it out. But at this moment, she had completely let go of the idea of sharing Rabbit Mountain.
Laplace also noticed the change in the girl's mood. She stood aside and did not say anything. Instead, she quietly watched Angor and the excited bunny girl talking loudly. However, perhaps even she herself did not notice that a smile had appeared on her usually indifferent face.
…
After settling the matter of building a rabbit theme park, the bunny girl was no longer disappointed. She happily opened the sealed gate of Rabbit Mountain.
As the gate was opened, Angor saw a field of bright white.
To be exact, it was a vast snowfield.
There was no heat source above his head. The source of light came from the two "rabbit ears" on the mountain. One of them was stronger, while the other was weaker. They represented the "sun" and "moon". Today was the time when the light source was stronger, which meant it was daytime.
The light from the sun made the snowfield look even paler. However, there was another reason for the extreme brightness — it was even colder.
It gave Angor a sense of desolation.
So this is the inside of Rabbit Mountain?
He thought Rabbit Mountain would have some nice scenery, or at least something special like Sweet Dream's reflection space. But now, he realized that Rabbit Mountain wasn't that big of a deal.
He did not expect it to be this desolate.
Is this a secret base?
As Angor looked around, the bunny girl spoke shyly, "This is the surface. I-I'll share the surface area with you."
Surface? Does that mean there's something not on the surface? As Angor wondered, the bunny girl hopped and led him to a withered tree near the entrance.
The girl tossed away the cold snow on the ground, revealing a lid the size of a well.
The rabbit girl removed the cover on the ground, revealing a tunnel entrance.
"This is my real secret base."
Angor looked at the tunnel entrance and realized something. That's right. How could a secret base just be on the surface?
How could it be called a secret base without a hidden passage?
With great anticipation, Angor followed the girl into the tunnel. Laplace did not follow them. He only waited outside.
Half an hour later, Angor climbed out of the tunnel with an expressionless face.
There was only one thing on his mind. What kind of secret base is this?
He had to admit that there was a lot of space under the tunnel. There were at least five levels. This was why it took Angor half an hour to explore the whole place.
However, the space was only used by 1% of the space.
1% was already an overestimation. The only thing that could be used was a small room, which contained the bunny girl's treasures … and other "loot" related to rabbits.
The rest of the place was completely desolate.
If he really wanted to use the word "secret base" to describe this place, it would not even compare to Angor's secret base when he was young, let alone other bases.
Angor did not know what to say. He felt that he wasted half an hour. But when he thought about it, it was normal.
This was not the only place in the Mirror Realm.
Even the City of Hot Gold was desolate.
It was already impressive that the bunny girl could collect so many "loot" in such a desolate place.
With that in mind, Angor felt a little better about the secret base.
Since he was already here, he would try to help the bunny girl modify the secret base. Of course, he could not do that now. He had to wait until the bunny girl's paradise was built and she trusted him enough.
