Angor's eyes lit up when he heard Laplace mention the void crevice.
Laplace noticed Angor's reaction as well, and she could guess why Angor reacted to the void crevice.
The Mirror World was a special world. Only a small part of it was connected to the void. Most of it was connected to "real worlds".
Because there were so few areas bordering the Void, as long as one could find the gap between the Mirror Realm and the Void, one could use the Void to reach the Mirror Realm directly. This meant that one could find a way to enter the Mirror Realm without using the Mirror Realm, which was equivalent to obtaining the fixed coordinates of the Mirror Realm.
The fixed coordinates of a special world were extremely valuable.
For example, a few thousand years ago, a few small Magus families accidentally obtained a set of coordinates to enter the Cazider World. Using this set of coordinates, they secretly developed until today, when these few Magus families united, they were not inferior to a large organization.
They were not as powerful as Song of the Deep, but they would still suffer great losses if they tried to fight them.
Song of the Deep was an organization that had existed for nearly ten thousand years. It was one of the most powerful organizations in the southern wizardry region. These adept clans were only the latecomers. The fact that they could inflict pain on the Song of the Deep was more than enough proof of their strength.
For any adept organization, having the coordinates of a special world was a strategic resource.
Laplace could tell that Angor was trying to get the mirror world's coordinates as well.
However, if it was so easy to find the coordinates of a special world, Angor would be looking down on both the Mirror World and other organizations.
Many wizards had entered the Mirror Realm, including Lady Mirror. However, none of them had been able to find the coordinates of the Mirror Realm. This meant that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"Are you interested in the crevice between the Mirror World and the void?" Laplace asked in a small voice.
Angor nodded. "I want to take a look."
"If that's all you want to do, that's fine. But if you really want to go, you'd better give the Dream Crystal to someone else. "
"What do you mean?" Angor frowned.
"So that I can find someone to work with in advance."
He didn't understand what Laplace meant at first, but he soon realized that Laplace was cursing him in a roundabout way.
He was already used to Laplace's disdainful look. Now that she was talking about him as if he was nothing, he could accept it.
"Is the gap between the mirror domain and space dangerous?" Angor asked.
Laplace snorted. Although she did not reply, her eyes showed the answer to the question.
"Where does the danger come from?"
Laplace: "From an unknown source."
"Unknown?" Angor muttered the word. "What do you mean?"
Laplace said indifferently, "Since I said I don't know, it naturally means that I don't know either. However, I can give you a piece of information. Any living being that enters the crack between the Mirror Domain and the Void, regardless of whether it's a mirror creature or an outsider, will disappear. "
"Disappear …" Angor felt a chill running down his spine.
"Yes, they have all disappeared without a trace. No one knows if they are alive or dead." Laplace paused for a moment, and then she told a story in a calm tone.
"About two thousand years ago, a young Mirror Dragon of the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom was ambushed and killed on the road. The Mirror Dragon tried to open the Mirror Corridor to escape, but it made a mistake with the Mirror Corridor and unfortunately fell into a spatial rift. It would have been fine if it was an ordinary crack outside the mirror domain. However, it ended up in the outermost crack, the one between the mirror domain and the void.
"After that, no one heard anything about the young Mirror Dragon.
"For the Mirror Dragons, who had difficulty reproducing, every young Mirror Dragon was a precious treasure. At that time, they didn't know where the baby dragon went. In order to find this baby dragon, they went to Gleipnir, hoping to find the baby dragon through astrology. "
"Gleipnir agreed and went to Hundred Dragons Divine Kingdom to capture the young Mirror Dragon.
"Gleipnir used astrology three times. The first time, he asked about the young Mirror Dragon and confirmed that it entered the outermost crack. The second time, he asked about the young Mirror Dragon and confirmed that it was … dead.
"The third time, he asked about the exact location of the young Mirror Dragon's body."
Laplace didn't tell him the result of the third time right away. Instead, she paused and looked at Angor. "Can you guess the result of the third time?"
Angor shook his head.
Laplace said indifferently, "After the third astrology, Gleipnir suffered a backlash and his body collapsed."
Angor's pupils shrank. "Time … Time Collapse?"
Laplace nodded. "The collapse of the body is irreversible. The Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom used a secret technique to help, but they only managed to preserve Gleipnir's memories and spirituality, but the body still collapsed in the end."
In other words, Gleipnir had already died once. The current Gleipnir was recreated by Laplace. Although her spirituality hadn't changed and she was still the same person, because Gleipnir had died once, her strength had become the weakest of the three.
Angor was completely shocked by this news. He had been thinking about what Laplace said. When Laplace asked Gleipnir to do astrology, Angor already considered the possibility that the astrology might fail or even cause a backlash.
However, he didn't expect the backlash to be so terrible. Gleipnir died once because of the astrology!
And the reason was simply to find the location of the young Mirror Dragon's body?
"W-why?" Angor didn't even blink when he heard the news. He felt his eyes getting dry.
Laplace explained, "There are two possibilities. First, she forced herself to find out something beyond the limit. Secondly, the results of the exploration involved an unspeakable existence. "
In other words, she was overstepping her authority!
It was very likely that Gleipnir found a Mystery object that was out of order, or an unknown mysterious area, or a creature stronger than legendary.
Laplace didn't tell Angor which one he was referring to, but Angor already had an idea.
Perhaps what Gleipnir saw in his astrology was a powerful creature that was beyond legendary …
Angor was inclined to believe this because he recalled his own experience.
He didn't go to the crack between the Mirror Domain and the void, but he did see the cracks in other special realms.
For example, the Dream Realm.
Both the Dream Wasteland and the Dream Crystal were located in the outer cracks of the Dream Realm.
When the Dream Wasteland was first built, it was attacked by a powerful creature. According to the classification system of the wizarding world, the creature from the Dream Realm that was as big as a continent was definitely above legendary.
If the Dream Crystal wasn't set up in both the Dream Realm and the Mirror World, Angor believed that the "cleaners" who came to destroy the Dream Crystal would be at least legendary.
Perhaps this was the truth.
There were similar creatures in the outskirts of all special worlds, powerful to the point where they were unmatched. They were the extensions of the consciousness of the special realms. They were also the protectors and cleaners of those realms.
If the Dream Realm had such creatures, the Mirror World must have them as well.
Besides, such creatures might not be limited to legends. There might be miracles as well.
This was why the cracks between the special realms and the void were so dangerous.
This was why the fixed coordinates of a special realm were so valuable that even a small wizard family could become a tycoon.
Angor already had a guess, but he didn't tell Laplace about it.
Guesses were just guesses. They were just guesses without solid proof. Besides, if his guess was right, he didn't want to talk too much about it even if he didn't know the name of such a being.
If it was a miracle, then all he had to do was think about it and he could use all kinds of methods to find it.
Guesses were just guesses. Angor didn't want to look into them until he was certain.
"Do you still want to go to the other side of the vortex?" Laplace pointed at the white hole outside.
"I'll explore the unknown area later," Angor muttered.
Laplace didn't mind Angor's decision. She didn't continue to tease Angor. Everything had its limits.
Angor also wanted to ask about the White Sun Mirror Domain. But before he could say anything, the Flower of Repose on the table slowly floated up.
Under Angor's and Laplace's gazes, the flower bud slowly bloomed.
Next, a figure jumped out of the bud.
The figure was small at first, about the size of a palm. But as soon as it leaped out of the bud, it quickly grew to the size of a normal human being.
The figure was still confused about his surroundings and didn't know where he was.
When Angor regained his original appearance, the mysterious aura around him finally dissipated. As his vigilance was gone, his figure slowly became clearer.
His soul was now visible outside his body.
Laplace stared at the soul carefully. When she saw the soul's true appearance, she was surprised. It wasn't that she recognized the soul. It was just that the shape of the soul was very special.
There was a big green mushroom on the soul's head.
There were also small mushrooms around the soul's neck.
Part of the soul's body was covered by the soul's robe, but Angor could still see the shape of the mushroom.
Was this really a human soul?
While Laplace was still hesitating, the bunny girl already hid behind her stuffed bunny and poked her head out. "Is that … a Mushroom Man?"
Angor chuckled and shook his head. "It's not a Mushroom Man. He's a bit special. Let him explain himself."
Leavis had just woken up and didn't know what was going on, but he understood Angor's words.
Every time he woke up, he would either meet Tree Spirit, Rein, or Mister Poseidon.
And each time, he had to tell them about what happened to him in the Flower Spirit Garden. He had gotten used to it.
Leavis didn't know who the girl was, but she was probably someone he couldn't afford to offend.
With that in mind, Leavis decided to start from the beginning.
"Don't go into details. Just tell me how you became a Mushroom Man and where you came from."
What happened in the Flower Spirit Garden was related to the Land of Sinners, so Angor didn't need to hide it.
Besides, Laplace was in the Mirror Realm, which didn't have any connection to the Nightmare Realm. There was no need for Laplace to get involved.
Reeves nodded and immediately began to talk about his own matters.
While speaking, Leavis looked around and tried to figure out where he was.
But as he spoke, Reeves suddenly paused.
His gaze was fixed on a mirror placed next to the Flower of Rest.
Both Angor and Laplace noticed Leavis' strange behavior.
Laplace recalled Angor saying that the soul might have something to do with the bronze mirror, and it seemed that Angor was right.
Seeing Leavis' expression, Angor already had an answer. That Toottoby was related to the Purcell Family.
As he made up his mind, Leavis suddenly shivered as if he was being attacked by a chilling cold. His soul aura also began to fluctuate.
Using Ness' words, this was a classic case of "soul stress."
It was similar to how a living person would experience a similar reaction when faced with a great tragedy or great joy.
For ordinary souls, there wasn't much of a problem with Soul Stress. As long as it wasn't something negative, it would only cause the soul to tremble a little. However, if the soul was affected by something negative, one would have to be careful and not become an undead.
Angor was sure that the bronze mirror wasn't a negative effect for Leavis.
Even so, Angor still used his Acoustic Illusion spell to comfort Leavis.
Because Reeves was different from other souls, there was still a portion of the bewitching residue left in his soul body.
Although the bewitching power had already completely disappeared from Reeves' soul, the residue still affected him. For example, the green mushroom on his head and the various small mushrooms on his body were all born due to the influence of the bewitching residue.
Now, Leavis' soul stress seemed to have affected the enchantment as well. New mushrooms began to grow on Leavis' body.
These mushrooms wouldn't affect Leavis' soul, but Angor believed that Leavis didn't want to be covered in them.
Besides, Leavis was still an emotional card in Angor's hand.
Angor planned to use this card on "Dark Viscount" Adelaia during the tea party.
Even if it was for the sake of Adelaia's feelings, Angor couldn't let the mushrooms ruin Leavis' "good looks".
After all, Angor believed that Adelaia and Leavis were having an affair. Why would someone like Adelaia look at Leavis? Angor didn't know yet. Perhaps it was Leavis' looks that attracted Adelaia.
Therefore, Leavis' looks were still important.
Under Angor's Acoustic Illusion spell, Leavis' soul stress gradually calmed down. But even so, the ripples in Leavis' eyes were still surging.
After a long time, Leavis slowly spoke, "Sir, this bronze mirror …"
Riveston was there. He recognized the bronze mirror, but because he recognized it, he didn't know what to say.
"What do you want to know?" Angor asked.
After another long moment, Leavis took a deep breath and looked at Angor. "Sir, can you tell me, is the owner of the bronze mirror … still alive?"
Leavis' "still alive?" was so soft that it almost sounded like he was mumbling to himself.
Leavis mustered his courage to ask, followed by a soft mumble, and then a silent mumble. Angor didn't say anything.
"Yes." Angor didn't keep Leavis in suspense.
As Leavis' eyes brightened up, Angor's next sentence came unexpectedly.
"But he probably forgot about the Purcell Family already."
