"… What kind of person would I have become if I had walked down such a path? I don't know. No one else has tried it. But I want to give it a try.
"… This is my body from the past. She's me, and she's not me.
"She's my other possibility."
After Laplace finished speaking, he fell silent.
Angor didn't ask. He knew Laplace wasn't just talking about her body. She was also talking about her secret. The fact that she was willing to tell Angor about it meant that she trusted Angor.
Laplace didn't tell Angor too much about the secret of time travel, but Angor could still make some guesses based on what Laplace had told him.
Laplace's body was special.
The time bodies of the other mirror creatures represented their selves at different times. Each time body contained the mirror creature's "summary of past experiences". Such bodies were "fixed" right after they were created. They couldn't cultivate on their own. Their growth depended on the body itself.
But Laplace's body was different. She chose a different path.
Through some unknown means, Laplace removed the restrictions on her body so that they could cultivate on their own.
This meant that when Laplace's body walked on a different path, her future path would become unknown. Even Laplace didn't know where she would end up.
But no matter what her future path was,
Laplace's body still represented her.
This is also the truth of what Laplace calls "my other possibility."
Here was an inappropriate example. Once upon a time, Laplace had two paths in front of her.
One to the left, and the other to the right. Laplace chose the path on the left. The path on the right should have gradually disappeared; however, Laplace condensed his body for an hour.
He turned around and walked on the right path.
"Me at a different point in time.
She made a completely different choice. "
Angor thought Laplace was a little bit like a time thief.
Speaking of which, Laplace's body should be related to time already. Could it be that Laplace's body was related to time?
If Laplace was really a supernatural creature with the power of time,
Even if she didn't become a legend yet,
She would still be as powerful as a legendary creature.
Laplace, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. "Found it."
"Huh?" Angor didn't know what she meant.
Laplace said, "Gleipnir has already fished up the item that matches the gemstone lid."
Laplace let out a sigh of relief.
She saw Wolf Fang Flute's performance earlier.
She was doubtful.
Will it work or not? ' The truth was,
Tooth Fairy was old.
The blade was not old.
Wolf Fang Flute moved at an unimaginable speed in the Sea of Mirrors below.
He found the necessary items for the gemstone cover.
"They're on their way back," Laplace's voice. After a pause, Laplace said, "I've seen the item that goes with the gemstone lid from Gleipnir. It's a very strange-looking teapot."
"Teapot" Angor's reaction...
Laplace gave Angor a puzzled look. "What? You seem to care about the teapot a lot."
Angor considered for a moment and nodded. "Not long ago.
I experienced the strange signs when I was making the mirror.
In the world of that omen.
There were teapots everywhere. ..
.......... "
........ . teapot world? There's such a world? "Laplace muttered to herself. She couldn't remember seeing such a world. The Sea of Mirrors didn't show such a world either.
Angor sighed. "Maybe it's just an alchemy omen. It doesn't exist in reality."
Laplace didn't know much about alchemy omens.
She couldn't comment on it.
Angor chuckled bitterly. "Anyway.
I just saw the teapot.
That's why I thought of that world. "
Laplace looked at Angor's bitter expression.
"Then you don't have to worry about the teapot coming from an alchemy omen.
Although its design is very special, I have seen a similar teapot before. "
Laplace already felt something familiar when she saw the gemstone cover, but she couldn't remember where.
But now, she saw the complete picture of the teapot through Glepnir's eyes. The memories hidden in the deepest part of Glepnir's mind.
Slowly, they came to her mind.
"This teapot came from a world full of strange things."
Strange things? "An alchemy item?" Angor was confused.
Laplace shook her head. "No.
Not an alchemy item. The strange things I'm talking about are the abilities of the people in that world. "
At first, Angor thought that "people" were humans from the four corners of the wizarding world.
He gradually understood that what Laplace meant by 'humans' was that they were similar to humans in appearance.
In the general plane,
There were quite a lot of people who looked like humans, or even exactly the same. However, they only looked the same on the outside. Inside, they were different. Such "humans" were called "humanoids" in the wizarding world.
In the eyes of some fundamentalists, it was unforgivable to refer to humanoids as "human beings" in general. There were quite a lot of such fundamentalists in the southern wizarding region. But Angor didn't really care.
"I don't know the name of that world. But I do know that the people there can use all kinds of strange energy. Some of them can turn such energy into physical objects, which often have strange functions.
"In some of the memories I saw,
Some of them can even affect the laws … and the laws they affect aren't ordinary ones.
They're more like those strange powers in the Dream Crystal.
"For example, I once saw a little girl creating a card box under the guidance of her teacher. Later, when she grew stronger, cards would appear in the box. These cards have strange abilities, such as summoning all kinds of elemental creatures, controlling space, changing the weather, and even entering the mirror world. "
Laplace's description sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. Similar abilities could be found in many other worlds.
"So, this teapot is a magical item? Is it controlled by someone? "
Laplace hesitated and shook his head. "I don't know. But the style of this teapot is unique to a certain country in that world. At least, it's common in that world. But I don't know if this teapot that went into the Sea of Mirrors is something special or not. "
Laplace paused and continued, "But from Gleipnir's perspective, I noticed that there is something special about this teapot."
Angor wanted to ask about it, but he remembered that Gleipnir was already on his way here, so he held back his curiosity.
Once he got his hands on the teapot, he would know what Laplace meant by "special".
…
A few minutes later, Gleipnir finally returned with Wolf Fang Flute.
Wolf Fang had been whispering in Gleipnir's ear since they showed up, but Gleipnir didn't pay any attention to it.
Without hesitation, Gleipnir handed a light orb to Angor.
Wolf Fang Flute quickly looked at Angor. "You're a human? That's rare. "
"… We've met before," Angor said.
Wolf Fang's eyes lit up. "Oh, we've met before? Then, then can you give me some face and let me see this teapot? That old bastard Gleipnir didn't give me any face at all. I was the one who found it, but he wouldn't let me see it. "
Angor didn't answer right away. Instead, he looked at the light orb in his hand.
A teapot? Why did it turn into a light orb?
Glepnir noticed Angor's confusion, so he explained in a low voice, "Wolf Fang Flute forgot that he was here to help. He thought it was just a normal job, so he sealed it with his power."
But the seal is very weak. Release the energy inside and it'll automatically undo itself. "
Angor also noticed that the outer shell of the light orb was very weak. "The energy inside … seems to be fading on its own?"
Angor didn't try to break the seal, but the energy inside the light orb was shrinking.
Strangely enough, there was no energy leaking from the outside. It was as if all the energy inside was absorbed by something inside.
Gleipnir frowned. "Well, it's the teapot's doing. Open the orb and you'll see."
The teapot's doing? A teapot can absorb energy from outside?
Angor considered for a moment and poked the seal on the outside of the light orb. Some of the energy inside the orb flowed out as light spots.
The light spots slowly dissipated, revealing a strange-looking teapot in Angor's hand.
It wasn't a teapot in the style of the southern wizarding region. The lid was connected to the handle by a chain. The body of the teapot was made of the same metal as the lid. Tiny gemstones of different colors were inlaid on the surface.
The mouth of the teapot was thin and long, with a slight curve.
It looked like the oil lamp in Aladdin's Lamp, a fairy tale told by Jon when Angor was a kid.
Such a teapot was rarely seen in the southern wizarding region. The mouth was too narrow, so the teapot was too small.
It was a unique design, but that was all Angor could say for sure. What really caught his attention were the gemstones on the body of the teapot.
They were small, but they were all imbued with elemental energy.
The tiny gemstones formed a rune-like pattern on the surface of the teapot.
However, Angor was sure that the pattern wasn't a rune. It was too simple and crude.
It wasn't a rune, but the pattern made of elemental gemstones formed an energy circuit.
Angor was more interested in the energy circuit.
It was his first time seeing such a simple energy circuit, but he quickly realized that the function of the circuit was to gather and convert energy.
It could absorb energy from the outside world and convert it into a new type of energy.
The conversion rate wasn't high, but the new energy … looked familiar to Angor.
It wasn't mana or energy gathering. It was something similar to spirit power.
"It's like the rough development of spirit power," Angor muttered to himself.
"It is," Glepnir said, "but that's not important for now. You've only seen the outside. Why don't you open the lid and see what's inside? It might give you a surprise … or a scare. "
"Young man, if you want to buy this teapot, you can come to Tooth Immortal's Ruins. Now, let me see it first. Be a good boy."
Angor ignored the old man's words and removed the lid of the teapot.
As the lid of the teapot was opened, a series of repeated chants came out from the teapot.
"Pikkala … Isoluca … Yaniga …"
"Pikkala … Isoluca … Yaniga …"
There was a voice inside, repeating the same sentence over and over again.
Angor looked inside the teapot and narrowed his eyes.
There was someone inside!
…
The story of Aladdin's Magic Lamp popped up in Angor's mind the moment he saw the figure inside the teapot.
It was the same "lamp", and there was a "person" inside the lamp.
Angor couldn't help but think about it.
But he soon calmed down. The story of Aladdin's Magic Lamp was a fairy tale. And it was a story about Earth. Even if Earth was in this universe, Aladdin's Magic Lamp was only a fictional story.
This wasn't Aladdin's Magic Lamp, and the person inside couldn't be the Genie of Genie.
Angor was right. When the smoke and light dissipated, the figure inside the teapot was revealed.
It was a pink-haired boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
He curled up on the edge of the teapot and kept muttering, "Pikkala … Isoluca … Yaniga …"
Angor sensed the inside of the teapot and confirmed that there was a certain amount of space inside the teapot.
In other words, the young man in front of him wasn't the size of a thumb. According to the ratio, he was about the same size as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old human youth. He was even four to five times taller than Wolf Fang Digu who was staring at the teapot.
Angor also sensed that the pink-haired boy was an ordinary person with flesh and blood. Or rather, a "humanoid".
He wasn't human. He looked like a human, but his internal structure was slightly different.
Although he was an ordinary person, there was a portion of energy stored in his body. By comparing the energy, Angor was sure that the energy came from the energy circuit on the surface of the teapot.
Angor couldn't tell what the energy was yet. However, the fact that the boy could absorb it meant that he wasn't a normal person.
He must have been soaked in the Sea of Mirrors for too long and was forced to become a mortal.
Glepnir nodded. "You're right. He used to be a supernatural, but the waves of the Mirror Sea washed him away and turned him into a mortal."
"The waves didn't take too long. Judging from the remaining energy in the gems on the surface of the teapot, he must have been soaking in the Sea of Mirrors for about twenty minutes.
"After soaking in the water for only twenty minutes, he was washed away and turned into an unconscious hollow man. This means that he wasn't very strong to begin with. Speaking of wizards, he's probably as strong as a level-3 apprentice. "
Angor didn't pay much attention to the boy's strength. He only noticed the word Glepnir used. "… Hollow Man?"
Glepnir nodded. "Judging from his condition, he's now a Hollow Man. All of his memories were washed away by the Sea of Mirrors."
Angor looked at the boy in the teapot in confusion. "If he's a Hollow Man, what's he mumbling about?"
