Deep Soundproof Room.
After logging off, Angor planned to go to the Dream Crystal to check out the second "omen" of the circus. But he decided against it.
Now, those who were pulled into the circus would most likely put on a failed show.
If he went there, he would become a laughingstock.
Angor didn't mind watching others make a fool of themselves, but he didn't want to embarrass himself for them.
…
Right now, Angor's top priority was to find a safe place for the new residents who were dragged into the Dream Crystal.
Angor faced the same problem when creating the dream wasteland.
His solution was to use the Dream Whelk to drag a bunch of buildings into the dream wasteland and build the prototype of Beginnings City.
This method was quite convenient in the dream wasteland. There were many cities in the real world where mortals lived. There were no supernaturals in those cities, so Angor could use the Dream Whelk without attracting attention.
However, it was difficult to use it in the Dream Crystal.
Earlier, he and Laplace visited quite a few colonies in the Sun Mirror Domain. Almost all of them were supernaturals. Not a single city of mortals could be found.
If Angor used the Dream Whelk in such places, he would definitely attract unnecessary attention from the mirror creatures, which would lead to unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, it was difficult to use the Dream Whelk to help the new residents of the Dream Crystal.
Of course, Angor could use the Dream Whelk to drag some materials into the Dream Crystal and let the new residents build their own houses like how they built a new city.
But that would take too long, and he didn't have enough manpower.
He had to think of something else.
Angor considered for a moment and decided to discuss it with Laplace first.
Laplace was born in the Mirror Domain. Perhaps she could find a perfect solution without attracting attention?
However, Laplace was still fishing in the dream wasteland, and the new residents of the Dream Crystal weren't gathered together yet. This was a high priority, but it wasn't urgent.
He could wait until they gathered at the designated location and discuss how to settle them down.
With that in mind, Angor took out a piece of paper and started writing down the topic of "Unbreakable Heart Mirror Experiment".
The hands of the clock ticked forward in Angor's Eucalyptus.
Clang, clang, clang —
The clock struck midnight.
Angor stopped writing as well. He massaged his sore thumb and began to check the notes he had written for more than ten pages.
This inspection took another half an hour. It was not until the magic array in the soundproof room began to flicker that he was interrupted.
The magic array flashed with a faint light, which was a hint unique to this quiet room: It told the guests in the quiet room that there was someone outside, or there was a message coming.
Of course, the flickering light was only a default notification. The guests could also choose other methods, or even choose not to receive any information from the outside world.
Generally speaking, those who chose not to receive information from the outside world were those who were in seclusion.
He wasn't going into seclusion, so he didn't need to worry about such things.
Still, he was not happy to be disturbed while Fu Shu was enjoying his time. He activated the magic array to see who was outside.
Soon, a light screen appeared out of thin air, showing the scene outside the door.
It wasn't a magic message. Instead, it was a person.
"Dorcas?" Dorcas was standing outside the door.
Perhaps he guessed that Angor was looking at him through the light screen, so Dorcas deliberately put on a serious posture.
Angor didn't know why Dorcas came looking for him in the middle of the night, but he still went to the door and opened it.
"What? You want me to make a sword for you right now?" Angor raised an eyebrow and looked at Dorcas, who was leaning against the door.
Dorcas already planned to say some dirty words when Angor opened the door. He did not expect Angor to bring up "sword" as soon as he opened the door. This was related to his future weapon. Dorcas immediately put on a serious face and forgot all the dirty words in his mind.
"No, no need. I don't even have the materials ready yet, "Dorcas quickly said.
Angor: "Then why did you come looking for me in the middle of the night?"
Dorcas: "Actually, it's not me. It's Wayin. But Wayin was too embarrassed to knock on your door, so he came to me. "
Dorcas put on an aggrieved expression and muttered, "I was sleeping in the middle of the night, and that bastard Wayin came looking for me. If he wanted to talk to me about something, it would be fine if he disturbed my sleep. But he came looking for you.
"He came looking for you, but I was woken up. What a shame!
"You're embarrassed because he disturbed you, but I'm not afraid because he disturbed me. Why —"
Seeing Dorcas getting more and more excited, Angor quickly cut him off. "So, you're not here to deliver a message to Wayin, but to complain to me?"
Dorcas paused and cleared his throat. "Both, both."
Angor: "Tell me, what did Wayin — no, Count Black want to talk to me about?"
Angor knew Dorcas' personality well. Even if Wayin came looking for him, he wouldn't necessarily move, unless it was something important.
Angor didn't think Wayin came looking for him for anything important. But if it was Count Black who asked Wayin to come, then maybe.
Dorcas might not do Wayin a favor, but he would definitely do Count Black a favor.
As expected, Dorcas continued, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. It was Count Black who asked Wayin to talk to you. But that kid was worried about waking you up, so —"
Angor cut him off. "Get to the point."
Dorcas pursed his lips. "I don't know the details. Wayin didn't tell me the whole story. I think something happened to Adanis. Let's go check it out."
"Something's wrong with Adanis …" If something's wrong with her, what can I do?
Angor was still confused, but since it was Count Black's order, he decided to go check it out.
As Angor closed the door and headed deeper into the corridor, Dorcas followed him.
"Count Black asked you to go too?" Angor gave Dorcas a doubtful look.
"No … But Wayin woke me up. I can't not know what's going on, can I?"
Angor didn't say anything when he saw Dorcas' curious look. He didn't have the final say. It was up to Count Black to decide whether to let Dorcas in or not.
Besides, Angor needed someone to show him the way.
He didn't know which room Count Black was staying in. Since Wayin went to talk to Dorcas, Dorcas should know where Count Black was staying.
As expected, Dorcas quickly answered, "Wayin told me their room number. I'll take you there now."
Dorcas had already made up his mind. Otherwise, he would have told Angor about Count Black's room number in the first place.
The room the Black Earl was in was 001. According to Dorcas, it was another soundproof room. However, it wasn't underground. Instead, it was at the back of the inn.
The soundproof room was also one of the guest rooms of the inn. However, due to its good location and well-equipped interior, it was often occupied by Lucia as her own room. Now that she knew Count Black was going to move in, Lucia didn't dare to be careless. She gave up room 001 without hesitation.
Soon, Angor and Dorcas arrived at the lobby of the inn. They only needed to go through the lobby to reach room 001 at the back.
As they were about to reach room 001, Angor suddenly sensed a familiar ripple from his space bracelet.
Angor stopped and looked at the bracelet with a puzzled expression.
Dorcas also heard Angor's footsteps. "What's wrong?" Dorcas asked.
"Nothing," Angor replied.
With that, Angor walked forward.
Dorcas didn't think too much about it and continued to lead Angor to room 001.
…
When Angor and Dorcas entered room 001, they were immediately stunned by the figure in front of them.
"Mister … Count Black?" Angor and Dorcas asked in a low voice after a long pause.
They knew they would see Count Black when they came to room 001. However, they didn't expect to see a "nose" this time. Instead, they saw a living person.
He was wearing a black tuxedo, a black bow tie, a black hat, a black cane, and a black and white opera mask.
Any wizard in the southern wizarding region would recognize such attire.
Count Black, the leader of the Noah Family. He always wore such attire when he showed up in public. Especially that black and white opera mask, which was his trademark.
Dorcas gulped and glanced at Wayin.
He was going to ask Wayin with his eyes: Why did Count Black show up? Was this his real body, or a clone?
But before he could ask, he saw Wayin's undamaged nose.
Wayin's nose … meant Count Black's clone was still attached to Wayin's body. So this was the real Count Black?!
Count Black's real body was here?!
Both Dorcas and Angor had the same thought. But compared to Dorcas, Angor was thinking … should he find a chance to summon someone?
Angor knew that Count Black's clone and Count Black's main body were similar in personality. However, he only went through the underground waterway with Count Black's nose clone, not with Count Black's main body.
Besides, Count Black's clone only shared the memories with Count Black's main body.
Angor couldn't be sure if Count Black's main body and his clone could live together "harmoniously".
For the sake of his own safety, the first thing Angor thought of right now was to call for help.
Perhaps Count Black saw the fear in Dorcas and Angor's eyes, so he spoke calmly, "This is not my main body. My main body is coming to Goman Kingdom, but he has other things to do, so he won't come to Biren Tree Garden right away. The one in front of you is still just a clone. However, the main body has borrowed more of my flesh and blood, allowing me to condense a physical body. "
In other words, the Count Black in his opera mask was still Count Black's nose clone, but he was stronger and had a new body.
But Angor believed it was only Count Black's side of the story.
Maybe Count Black's main body was already pretending to be Count Black's nose clone.
However, it didn't matter if the Dark Earl was still willing to use the nose clone as the leader, which meant that he didn't want their relationship to change.
Was this a kind gesture?
Count Black said, "I knew you had a lot of tricks up your sleeve when we were in the underground waterway. You still haven't changed. Just look at me and I don't know how much you've been thinking."
Angor didn't know what to say.
Count Black waved a hand. "Let's get down to business. I asked you to come because Adanis is having a problem."
"What problem?"
Count Black pointed at an oil painting on the wall. "This is Adanis' own painting. She has been using the person in the painting as her host."
There was an oil painting hanging on the wall. It was a half-length portrait of a young girl with long, curly blond hair. The girl was sitting quietly on a chair while smiling at the artist outside the painting.
The girl in the painting did look similar to Adanis, but the girl's indifferent expression was nowhere to be found on Adanis's face.
Black Earl: "You noticed it too, right? When Adanis resided in this painting, her expression was completely cold. It was impossible for her to smile. "
"But not long ago, the person in the painting suddenly changed her expression."
"Changing her expression shouldn't be a big deal, right? Maybe Adanis went to the mirror world. "
The painting was made of glass, which could be used as a medium for a mirror image. With Adanis' power, she could easily enter the mirror world as a medium.
Count Black shook his head. "No, Adanis didn't go to the mirror world. Earlier, Adanis gave me a projection of her true form. I can use the projection to sense Adanis's general location. "
If she went to the mirror world, her aura would disappear.
"Yet now, her aura has not disappeared. Instead, it still exists in this painting. That is what I feel to be strange about."
Count Black knew that Adanis would go to the mirror world from time to time. That was why Adanis gave the projection of her true form to Count Black to help him locate her.
With the projection of his main body, the Black Earl could clearly sense that Adanis was still in the painting.
Since Adanis was in the painting, she must be the girl in the painting, and the girl's expression must reflect Adanis' expression.
The girl's expression was calm and natural, and there was a kind of gentleness that came from within.
With their understanding of Adanis, how could Adanis show such an expression?
