Now that the ground was transparent, they could clearly see what was happening below.
However, what they saw was not the reflection of the Empty Mirror Sea, but the reflection on the surface of the Empty Mirror Sea.
However, unlike the reflections in other places, the reflections that were caged by the heart space were protected by the mysterious power outside, so they were not destroyed by the waves. Instead, they existed all the time.
In other words, as long as the heart space did not move, they could always see what was happening in front of them.
The reflection here was something from the real world that was reflected in the mirror. Or rather, it was the mark of time on the surface of the mirror.
Looking at the various things in the reflection was the same as looking at the imprints left behind by a certain mirror during its existence.
At this moment, the mirror they were looking at was the reflection of all the memories that had been reflected in the mirror during its existence.
From the reflection, it could be seen that it was a mirror placed on a balcony, facing the dining table of a wealthy family.
However, there was no one in the mirror, which meant it was not time for dinner yet.
Just as Angor thought it would take a long time to see the reflection, Laplace pointed at the air.
A stream of energy merged into the reflection.
It was as if time inside the mirror had been accelerated.
Half a second later, Angor saw several people sitting at the dining table.
Judging from their attire, they should be a small family.
Parents and three children.
They were happily eating at the table.
They chatted with each other and looked very warm.
The acceleration did not stop.
The reflections were also changing rapidly.
The only thing that did not change was the mirror, which was still faithfully recording the daily life of this family.
Angor saw the middle-aged man and woman aging.
He also saw their children growing up.
They got married and had children.
A small family with only a few people now grew into a big family.
The children and grandchildren all lived in different places, but there would always be a few days every year when they came to this mirror to reunite with their parents.
Time had passed, but the warmth was still there.
One day, when the parents no longer showed up at the table, the children and grandchildren would still show up at the table.
But slowly, they stopped coming as well.
The happy family became cold.
It began to become cold and cheerless, and the furniture began to accumulate a thick layer of dust.
After an unknown amount of time.
A young man who looked somewhat similar to his parents walked into the room. His brows were furrowed as if he was disgusted by the dust and cobwebs in the room.
Finally, the young man shook his head.
He left the house.
He never came back.
There was more and more dust on the mirror.
The world in the reflection became more and more blurred. Until one day,
The house collapsed, and a large number of stones fell down. The mirror on the balcony was also shaken off.
He fell out of the house.
On the streets.
A large number of warhorses galloped.
The passers-by screamed.
He was running away.
He had no idea what they were talking about.
But he could see that.
Perhaps … war was coming.
In the end, a panicked man stepped on the mirror and broke it.
As the mirror shattered, the reflection also slowly disappeared.
Everything became chaotic.
"What do you think?" Laplace looked at Angor.
"It's like watching a silent drama."
Laplace said, "I'm asking about the reflection itself.
Not the scene in the reflection. "
The reflection itself … Angor rubbed his chin and considered. "Unaffected by the waves.
You can see the complete memory of a certain point in time. Interesting.
And valuable. "
Angor understood what Laplace meant. It was indeed an interesting discovery. At least, it was valuable for him.
And the future was promising.
This time, they saw the life of a nobody in the mirror.
They might not see anything special.
But what if they saw a reflection that could reflect supernatural things next time? Wouldn't that mean they could see the life of a supernatural creature through the mirror? Maybe they could even find useful knowledge from the creature's life. That would be a great deal.
However, Angor had to find a way to find similar reflections and make them speed up, slow down, or pause.
If he couldn't find similar reflections, or he couldn't quickly locate the "knowledge", it would be useless.
With that in mind, Angor asked his question.
Laplace said, "Gleipnir can help you solve the two problems you mentioned."
Gleipnir's astrology skill could predict where there were similar reflections. Since Gleipnir was Laplace's avatar in the past,
Of course, Gleipnir could also speed up the process of the reflections.
He paused.
"I can ask Gleipnir to help you once or twice. But if you want her to help you all the time, I'll tell her.
You'll have to find a way to talk to her yourself. "
Angor considered and nodded. "Okay."
Getting knowledge from the reflections in the Empty Mirror Sea wasn't a priority. He didn't know what kind of knowledge he could get.
Compared to gaining knowledge, he should focus on digesting the knowledge he already had.
He wasn't in a hurry.
After this "small matter", Angor was about to ask Laplace what the "test" was.
Before he could ask anything, he saw a reflection on the ground from the corner of his eyes.
Ever since the "Life of an Ordinary Family" ended, the reflections in the Empty Mirror Sea didn't show any new changes. They remained chaotic, which was completely different from the other reflections in the Empty Mirror Sea.
When the reflections in other places were destroyed, new ones would immediately appear. One second, there were mountains and rivers, and the next second, there were shadows in a cave. This wasn't unusual.
But why … "Won't the reflections here be refreshed?"
Angor asked Laplace curiously.
Laplace nodded. "The other reflections are constantly refreshed because of the waves. But the Mystery aura outside the heart stopped the waves, so they won't be refreshed. "
Waves were a great threat in the Empty Mirror Sea, but they weren't meant to destroy. When they were destroyed, they would also give new life to the surface of the mirror sea. This was why the reflections in the Empty Mirror Sea kept changing.
A place without waves would be safer, but it would also be quieter.
"So this is a price?" Angor muttered.
"You can say so. Compared to the benefits, this is nothing," Laplace said.
The heart space could be moved. If the reflections in the Empty Mirror Sea couldn't be refreshed, the heart space could be moved to other places. Therefore, although it was a price, it wasn't too risky.
"You're right." Angor looked at Laplace again. "So, the main theme of the mirror area is destruction and rebirth?"
Both the Eternal Mirror Sea and the Empty Mirror Sea were in between destruction and rebirth.
Laplace shook his head. "I can't answer that. I don't know. But I think it's not. "
"Just like the mental boundary I mentioned before, you also have this mental boundary. The Mirror Realm you see is even less than one ten-thousandth of the Mirror Realm an ordinary Mirror Creature sees. Your so-called fixed tone is only what you think it is."
To put it bluntly, Laplace wasn't only ignorant, but he also liked to overthink.
Angor felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. He couldn't even define the wizarding world he lived in. Now he was talking about a special world that spanned across countless planes. He was getting a little carried away.
While Angor was still wondering, Laplace suddenly spoke up, "Let's stop talking about other things for now. It's time for the test."
Time for the test? Angor looked at Laplace in confusion.
Laplace said, "Haven't you always been curious about what the test I'm talking about is? Just look over there."
Angor looked at the direction Laplace was pointing at. At first, he didn't see anything special. He only saw the disappearing reflections and layers of waves.
Only when the waves reached him did he notice that something was different this time.
At the top of the surging waves, there was something that was rippling.
Angor couldn't see what it was, but he knew that it was being carried into the heart space by the waves.
"Is that … a real object?!"
Laplace nodded. "Yes."
Occasionally, real objects would rush into the Empty Mirror Sea. Some came from the eye of the sea, while some came from outside the mirror by chance. For example, Stone was a real object that Laplace obtained from the Empty Mirror Sea.
Objects that could survive in the Empty Mirror Sea for a long time were all valuable.
This was why the Ancient Tooth Fairy spent so much effort to invent "Object Search" to buy goods from the Empty Mirror Sea.
Apart from objects, there were also life forms that came into the Empty Mirror Sea. That human from Hot Gold City, who called himself Tututubi, entered the mirror domain from the Empty Mirror Sea.
The object that was rushing into Angor's heart space with the waves wasn't a living thing. If it was a living being, then it would be too small.
He carefully observed until the bird was about to reach his heart. Finally, he was sure that the bird was right.
It was a lid.
A round, golden lid covered with rubies and sapphires. The top of the lid was protruding, and there was a broken golden chain hanging from it.
It didn't look like anything good, but the glowing rubies and sapphires were probably energy gems.
"So … we're going to capture something?" Angor looked at Laplace as if he understood something.
Laplace nodded. "Yes. If you want to make your heart space work better in the Empty Mirror Sea, capturing something is a good test."
Laplace wanted to do this test because she noticed that her heart space had a vague sense of judgment even though it wasn't sentient.
It would actively resist anything that threatened its stability, such as the waves or the destructive power of the Eternal Mirror Sea.
However, it would not stop anything that didn't threaten its stability, including energy, as long as the owner agreed.
For example, Laplace already tested it in the Eternal Mirror Sea. As long as she let go of the restrictions on her heart space, the dense energy outside could penetrate her heart wall and enter her heart space.
Such a resilient heart space that could resist the waves of the Empty Mirror Sea gave Laplace a new idea for testing.
If she let go of the restrictions, would the objects in the Empty Mirror Sea be able to enter her heart wall?
The Ancient Tooth Fairy would occasionally appear in the Empty Mirror Sea in other places, and the fairy liked to buy goods from the Empty Mirror Sea. This was why Laplace came to the Empty Mirror Sea outside her heart's boundary and waited for something to show up.
Their luck was pretty good. In this place where there were almost no mirror creatures, a real object soon floated out of thin air.
It looked like a useless cover, but since it was their first test, they didn't care what it was. What mattered was whether the heart wall could be opened so that it could stop the waves but not the real object.
If it worked, the value of the heart space would increase by a lot.
Of course, this was only for Angor.
Angor knew what Laplace was trying to do, so he removed the barrier around his mind and waited patiently for the gem lid to come along with the tide.
Soon, the waves reached the heart space.
Just like before, all the waves were separated by a mysterious aura when they approached the heart space. They couldn't get any closer.
However, the gemstone cover that came with the wave was left outside the protection formed by the mysterious aura.
However, it stopped outside the protection. There was no way for the gemstone cover to enter the heart space.
In fact, Angor's Mystery aura was the only reason why the gemstone cover was not washed away. But he could not send it directly into his heart space.
"So only energy can pass through the heart wall. Objects can't go through it." Laplace sighed.
After a sigh, Laplace extended his hand and slowly passed through the wall of his heart.
Under the pressure of the waves, the cover was slowly pulled into the heart space.
Although the gem lid still entered the heart space, it was because Laplace was not afraid of the waves and dared to reach out to the outside world. Angor wouldn't have been able to do it.
Originally, he thought that the heart space could automatically pull in objects. Even if no one was controlling it, it could be used as a "fishing net". He could leave it in the Empty Mirror Sea and harvest the fruits later.
But since he couldn't pull objects into the heart space, the test was a failure.
After all, Laplace couldn't stay in the heart space forever.
"It's a failure, but it's good enough. At least your heart space can be considered a sacred place for mirror creatures, "Laplace said as he handed the cover to Angor.
"I'm not going to treat my heart like a sacred place," he muttered and looked at the gemstone lid.
