Outside the Unfathomable Cavern.
A fist-sized fluorite was floating in a corner of the dark space, which was releasing a faint light source.
However, the light source could only cover an area of two or three meters. Any further and the light would be devoured by the unknown darkness.
"The light isn't being suppressed by the darkness. It's like space is being distorted," Angor said. "But I didn't sense any spatial energy ripples. That's strange."
"That's the nature of the Unfathomable Cavern. It will devour all light. As for the spatial ripples you mentioned, there are. But they're inside the Unfathomable Cavern, not outside it. "
"So what's it like inside the Unfathomable Cavern?"
Angor recalled Laplace saying that she had been inside the Unfathomable Cavern before. However, Laplace didn't elaborate on the specific situation inside.
Laplace shook his head. "I don't know how to describe it. It's dark inside as well. But it's different from the darkness outside. It doesn't feel like we're in the real world. It feels like we're somewhere far away. "
"Well, it's not a ghost. At least, I didn't run into any danger inside. "
"A harmless Unfathomable Cavern?" Angor muttered in a low voice.
Was there really no danger inside?
Or maybe Laplace just didn't think so?
Angor didn't believe that a "phenomenon" with such a wide range of influence could only absorb light. Besides, the Unfathomable Cavern was outside the mental boundary of the mirror creature.
This place was usually pitch black.
There was no light source to absorb.
"You're interested in the Unfathomable Cavern?"
Angor shook his head. Not really. He was just curious about the unknown.
"I'm just wondering why you didn't feel any danger inside.
Maybe it's because you didn't see any danger. "
"You didn't see any danger?" Laplace repeated in a low voice.
Angor nodded.
"Well, I couldn't see anything in the darkness. You didn't feel any danger. It's just that the darkness is blinding you. "
Laplace considered for a moment. "That's a strange way of putting it. Speaking of which …
Inside the Unfathomable Cavern, there's no light source.
Indeed, there's no way to create a light source. It's as if there's a force that prevents' light 'from being born here. "
He paused a little. "If I'm right,
The darkness may not only blind my eyes.
It is also protecting me from being 'seen' by danger. "
"But no one can say for sure what the truth is. Perhaps someone in the future would be willing to solve this riddle.
But it shouldn't be me … Just like you, I'm not too interested in the Deep Abyss. As long as it stays here quietly and doesn't do anything, we can just treat it as a rare phenomenon. "
Angor nodded and decided not to talk about the Serene Cave any further.
If the Abyss Hole was in the wizarding world, there would be wizards who would study it.
It was estimated that no one would solve the puzzle in the near future. After all,
The Deep Nether Cave was outside the mental boundary, and not many mirror creatures were willing to come here.
"Speaking of which,
Gleipnir and Ancient Tooth Fairy should be here soon, right? "
It had been a few minutes since they came out of the heart space. Based on Gleipnir's speed, they should be arriving soon.
Laplace nodded. "Very close.
She should be here soon … By the way, it's fine for us to call her Ancient Tooth Fairy in private.
It's better to change it in public. "
Angor made an "I understand" gesture. "Scholar Jinghai."
Laplace didn't say anything else.
She believed that Angor knew what to do.
Half a minute later.
Angor sensed a faint spatial ripple around him.
As the ripple grew stronger, a floating light flashed.
It looked like a door made of mirrors.
It opened from thin air.
It was the mirror corridor. Inside the corridor, Angor saw Gleipnir, who was leaning on a walking stick, and an Ancient Tooth Fairy, who was about the size of a newborn baby.
"I'm sorry.
I'm a bit late, "Gleipnir said slowly.
Then she looked at Angor.
He said again, "I'm really sorry."
Angor glanced at Gleipnir and understood why she apologized twice. But …
Angor didn't say anything. He only nodded.
He just nodded and looked at the Ancient Tooth Fairy.
He was an old man with a face full of wrinkles … Scholar Jinghai.
Unlike the ones Angor saw in the Tooth Fairy's branch, this Ancient Tooth Fairy didn't have wings and wore heavy clothes.
The robe was a "dazzling" scholar's robe, and he was holding a luxurious scepter in his hand.
On top of his head was a sharp fang.
The fang was decorated with all kinds of luxurious ornaments.
It didn't look like a hat anymore.
It looked like a pointy magic hat.
At least …
From the looks of it …
This Scholar Jinghai had quite the style.
On the other side, Scholar Mirrorsea seemed to know Laplace. He bowed to her politely and looked at Angor without looking at Laplace for too long.
"A human?" Scholar Jinghai spoke in a hoarse voice, "The last time I saw a human in the Mirror Domain was … how long ago?"
Scholar Jinghai's eyes, which had been brimming with wisdom, turned into two question marks in a short time.
After ten seconds, he hesitated and said, "Three days ago, I think."
Angor didn't know what to say.
It sounded like Scholar Jinghai hadn't seen a human in decades or centuries. But he saw one three days ago.
Did he forget?
Angor couldn't help but look at Laplace. Can this guy do it?
Laplace spoke in front of Scholar Jinghai.
She sent a voice transmission to Scholar Jinghai, "I think so. Maybe he's been living for too long. His memory is a bit messed up. "
"Too long?" Angor also sent a voice transmission.
Laplace nodded. "He's called Wolf Fang Flute.
He used to be the Grand Elder of Tooth Fairy's Ancient Ruins.
He became an honorary elder a thousand years ago. I don't know how old he is, but I know he's one of the first scholars of Tooth Fairy's Ancient Ruins. He's also one of the survivors of the Hollow Tooth Fairy Incident. "
The Hollow Tooth Fairy Incident started when the Tooth Fairy made a major mistake while studying the Mirror Sea, which led to some Tooth Fairies falling into the sea and becoming Hollow Tooth Fairies.
The incident became "Hollow Tooth Fairy Incident" because many Tooth Fairies overestimated themselves and fell into the Mirror Sea in order to save their fellow Tooth Fairies.
To put it bluntly, the Calabash Brothers were sacrificing themselves to save their grandpa.
This incident was one of the reasons why the Tooth Fairy Incident broke apart.
Back then, most Tooth Fairies believed that the Ancient Ruins was too dangerous to study the Mirror Sea. So, under the leadership of some elders, they founded Tooth Fairy Castle, which was now Tooth Fairy Paradise.
However, a small number of scholars still stayed in the Ancient Ruins to study the Mirror Sea. Back then, the Tooth Immortal Ancient Ruins and the Tooth Immortal Paradise were able to maintain a harmonious relationship. However, the Tooth Immortal Ancient Ruins had been taking advantage of the Tooth Immortal Paradise's resources without receiving much in return. This made the Tooth Immortal Castle's Tooth Immortal feel that he had been taken advantage of.
This was also the fuse that led to the real breakup of the Tooth Fairy Kingdom.
The Queen's ascension ignited this fuse.
After the Tooth Fairy Queen ascended to the throne, she cut off the Tooth Fairy Ruins' resources, which completely divided the Tooth Fairy and the Scholar Jinghai.
The Tooth Fairy of Tooth Fairy Paradise thought that the Scholar Jinghai would yield without resources. However, the Scholar Jinghai did not. After a long period of isolation, the Scholar Jinghai found a way to turn things around with the help of Object Seeking.
Now, they only called themselves the Scholar Jinghai and completely parted ways with the Tooth Fairy Kingdom. Even if they were still part of the Tooth Fairy Kingdom.
This Wolf Fang Flute had experienced the Tooth Fairy Kingdom's invasion, which meant it was an ancient Tooth Fairy that had lived since the Tooth Fairy Ruins split apart.
This meant it had lived for at least three thousand years.
No wonder Laplace said that it had lived for a long time.
For Tooth Fairies, which did not have long lifespans, Wolf Fang Flute was probably the oldest Tooth Fairy.
Logically speaking, such an ancient Scholar Jinghai should not have left the Tooth Immortal Ancient Ruins … The method of searching for items did not require such a venerable elder.
There must be another reason why Wolf Fang Flute came here.
Angor sent a voice transmission to Laplace, "Did Gleipnir invite it?"
Laplace considered for a moment. "Yes. She didn't tell me it was Wolf Fang Flute."
Angor understood. Gleipnir clearly knew that she did not ask Laplace to test Angor out of goodwill. In order to mend the possible rift, Gleipnir brought Wolf Fang Flute here.
She knew that Angor wanted to establish a good relationship with Ancient Tooth Fairy. Wolf Fang Flute was one of the most important honorary elders in Tooth Fairy's Ancient Ruin. His words would definitely influence the Ancient Ruin.
Gleipnir had a good plan. He had used both strategies at the same time.
But could Gleipnir really mend the rift?
Angor never felt that there was a rift between him and Laplace. As for Gleipnir … that was a different story.
…
"You saw a human three days ago?" Angor rubbed his chin. "So there are quite a lot of humans in the Sun Mirror Domain."
Wolf Fang Flute chuckled. "Not really. One of my juniors counted the number of humans we know. I think it's …"
Again, Angor's wise eyes were filled with question marks.
Several seconds later, Wolf Fang Flute cleared his throat. "A group of people, I think."
Angor did not know what to say.
Was this a joke, or was it serious?
Angor looked at Wolf Fang Flute carefully and confirmed that the old man was serious.
Seriously … forgetting.
Maybe Wolf Fang Flute saw Angor's speechless expression and guessed something. "My memory used to be great. But after I fell into the Sea of Mirrors, my memory got worse."
Gleipnir spoke in a plain tone, "The Sea of Mirrors only erases memories. Even if you become a Hollow Tooth Fairy, you'll only lose your memories. It won't affect your memory."
Wolf Fang Flute: "Is that so? Why don't I remember anything? "
Wolf Fang Flute scratched his fangs with an innocent look.
"Let's get back to business." Angor pinched his eyebrows and did not know what to say.
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's get back to business first. We can't delay our search. I remember Gleipnir told me you were looking for another red tumbler, right? I brought a blue one with the same design. We can use the search — "
Gleipnir coughed and interrupted Wolf Fang Flute. "I'm not talking about roly-poly. I'm talking about the sapphire and ruby lid."
Wolf Fang Flute stared at Gleipnir in shock. "Did I remember wrong?"
Angor looked at Laplace and used voice transmission to ask again, "Can you trust him?"
Angor really doubted whether Wolf Fang Flute could actually find something. Looking at Wolf Fang's forgetful face, Angor wondered if Wolf Fang Flute could find something. Even if he could, Wolf Fang Flute would probably forget what he was looking for halfway.
Earlier, Laplace used "should be" to answer. But this time, she hesitated. "Let's give it a try."
Angor sighed and handed the gem cap to Wolf Fang Flute.
Wolf Fang Flute took the cap and looked at it for a moment before he stretched his back. When Angor thought Wolf Fang Flute was about to move, the old man looked at him and said, "Ah, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Dragon Fang Zither."
Angor also introduced himself with a confused look. But his mind was filled with doubts. Wasn't this guy called Wolf Fang Flute?
"Dragon Fang Zither is your daughter, and you're Wolf Fang Flute," Gleipnir spoke in a soft voice.
Wolf Fang Flute was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something. "Right, right, right. My name is Wolf Fang Flute. My daughter is called Dragon Fang Zither. Speaking of my daughter, she is a good child. I remember …"
Before Wolf Fang Flute could go back to his memories, Angor cut him off. "Let's search first. We'll talk about the rest later. "
Wolf Fang Flute: "That works too. Oh, right. What are we looking for? "
Angor was speechless.
…
Gleipnir took Wolf Fang Flute away, while Angor and Laplace stayed behind.
After a moment of silence, Laplace spoke up again, "If we don't find it …"
Angor waved a hand. "It doesn't matter. I already knew it."
Laplace sounded a little apologetic. "I didn't think Gleipnir would bring Wolf Fang Flute here."
Angor already thought about it, so he didn't mind it too much. He even had the mood to tease Laplace. "So, Lady Laplace, you still think Gleipnir and you are the same person?"
This time, Laplace did not answer as decisively as before. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "She is me, but she is also not me."
Angor put on a "You finally admitted it" expression.
"Time incarnations represent different versions of themselves," Laplace explained.
Angor already knew this. This was how the mirror creature knew about their time incarnations.
Laplace said, "However, I've made some changes. She's my time incarnation, and also … another possibility for me. "
