While the Watcher and Cameron were discussing Wasteland Traveler, Angor and Laplace were sitting opposite each other on the fishing boat.
"You …" Laplace looked at Angor who suddenly showed up in front of him. "Are you here to laugh at me?"
"Huh?" Angor did not understand what Laplace was trying to say.
It wasn't until he glanced at the thick stack of fishing books and the empty fish basket that he seemed to understand a little.
"Is the book useless?"
"It's not that it's useless, but it's strange that I can't catch it no matter how hard I try." Laplace frowned. "Could it be that my luck is too bad?"
"Maybe?" Angor did not know much about fishing, so he could only agree with the idea.
Laplace calmed himself down and put the fishing rod aside. He then looked at Angor in silence.
"You're not fishing anymore?" Angor asked.
Laplace said indifferently, "It's written in the book that you need to keep quiet when fishing. Someone will disturb the fisherman's mood and the fish in the water. "
"Since I can't get anything because of you, I'll give up for now. I'll follow the book's instructions and find a new fishing spot. "
Angor did not know what to say.
He just got here not long ago. Why did he have to take the blame for not getting anything for several hours? What a straightforward way to put the blame on him!
Besides, he did not even yell or make any noise. Water was much denser than air. He did not even know if the fish could hear him.
Angor felt helpless inside, but he still put on an apologetic look on his face, as if saying "it's my fault".
Laplace also felt that it was inappropriate to "slander" Angor like this. He looked away and looked at the ripples on the water in the distance. "Did you come because Luigi already solved the dungeon?"
"Luigi hasn't done it yet. He's still using the" sea of questions "tactic."
"I'm here to talk about the settlement of the natives." Angor paused for a moment before continuing.
Charlie's Palace brought the first batch of natives to the Dream Crystal. Considering the scale of Charlie's Palace's influence, the number of natives would continue to grow.
How to settle them down, and where to settle them down, became a problem.
If he was in the dream wasteland, he could simply find a random city in the real world and use the Dream Whelk to create a new settlement.
However, this method was not suitable for the Dream Crystal.
The "city" he saw in the Sun Mirror Domain was filled with supernatural creatures. Using the Dream Whelk in front of them was definitely not a good idea.
He had to ask Laplace for help. Maybe Laplace knew something about the uninhabited towns in the mirror realm?
Laplace considered for a moment. "I did see a lot of empty cities in the Mirror Realm. But they won't stay empty forever. They will soon become paradise for the mirror monsters."
"Once a Mirror Ghost enters Sky City, it won't be long before the city turns into a ghost town."
The so-called ghostly transformation did not mean that the city had become a ghost, but that the city had been captured by the ghost realm.
Every mirror world had a Ghost Territory. The sizes of the Ghost Territories varied. Normally, the Ghost Territories overlapped with the normal mirror areas, and they wouldn't connect directly. However, when an empty city turned into a ghost town, the space inside the ghost town would gradually become chaotic, which meant that the ghost town could be connected to the ghost realm.
"Some of the mirror monsters are very good at hiding. Even I can't necessarily find them. Therefore, many places that look empty might already be occupied by mirror ghosts. "
To put it simply, it was very risky to drag a city into the Dream Crystal.
But this was only Laplace's opinion.
As far as he was concerned, the Dream Whelk couldn't pull living creatures into the Dream Crystal. Even if there was a mirror monster in the city, it wouldn't affect the city at all. The worst that could happen was that the monster would only notice the Mystery aura.
Compared to using the Dream Whelk in a city filled with mirror creatures, the repercussions were much smaller.
But he did not say it out loud.
The main reason was that the ghost town was affected by the ghost realm's rules. The rules of the ghost realm were always strange, dangerous, and dangerous. There were also all kinds of unreasonable risks. If the Ghost City was modified by this rule, for example, the doors of some rooms were changed to "Death upon opening". Then, would the Dream Crystal also bring this abnormality into it?
Would the rules of the ghost realm interfere with the new Dream Crystal?
Of course, none of these problems would really happen. But just to be safe, Angor decided to give up on the ghost town for now.
Laplace said, "Apart from these empty cities, it's basically impossible to find any large-scale, ownerless buildings in the Mirror Realm."
"So I can't use the city in the mirror realm?" Angor asked.
Laplace nodded. "Actually, you don't have to keep walking the path of replicating reality. In fact, you can try other paths."
Angor looked at Laplace and waited for her opinion.
"For example, you can copy the" new city "mode and build your own city in the Dream Crystal."
Angor shook his head. "But that's too troublesome. Besides, I don't think I'll find anyone who can do it."
More importantly, the construction of the new city required a large number of magic scrolls. Angor could bring the scrolls to the Dream Crystal, but … who would use them?
The natives of Charlie's Palace?
That was impossible.
Of course, Angor could find a way to bring some people from the wizarding world to build a city there. But that was something for the future.
Right now, he was only considering building a place for the natives of the Dream Crystal to gather, live, and communicate. There was no need to go that far.
"If not, I have two suggestions. First, we can quickly build a gathering place in the mirror realm, and you can use the Dream Whelk to pull people into the Dream Crystal."
They might not be able to build a city in the Dream Crystal, but in reality, they might not be able to build a large city with all the necessary functions. However, building a small village wouldn't take much time.
There were not many people in the Dream Crystal anyway, so a small village should be enough.
"What's the second suggestion?" Angor did not give an answer right away.
"The second suggestion is to let them live in my Forest of Memories. Most of the Forest of Memories are my Time Crystals, but I've created a place for each of them to live. Those places can be used as temporary lodgings. "
After being suppressed by the power of Wonderland, the Forest of Memories turned back into a potted plant and was placed near the Crystal Mountain. If there really was a place to live in the Forest of Memory as Laplace had said, then this was indeed a choice.
But Angor didn't think it was a waste to let the natives live in a small potted plant when there were so many places in the Dream Crystal.
"What about you? What do you think now?" Laplace asked.
"We can build a gathering place in the Mirror Realm and pull them into the Dream Crystal, but it's not a long-term solution. Even the Forest of Memories isn't a long-term solution."
"You want to find a way to solve this problem once and for all?"
Angor nodded.
"If we want to solve this problem once and for all, we have to start with the natives or the Dream Crystal itself. Either we let the natives build their own living places, or we find a way to use the power of the Dream Crystal to find a place for them to live. "
Laplace suddenly added, "Actually, I think it's not a bad idea to let the natives live in a Wonderland dungeon.
At least the dungeons created by Wonderland have places to live and plants to grow. It's much better than the empty, white wasteland outside.
Of course, it's best if we can control the Wonderland. But I don't think any Wonderland is completely safe. Just pretend I didn't say anything. "
Although Laplace did not want to go to Wonderland himself, Angor still took the suggestion seriously.
He didn't really want to create a town in the Dream Wasteland. The Dream Wasteland was completely different from the Dream Crystal. The reason why the Dream Wasteland was so comfortable was because of the tree civilization.
The existence of the Dream Plant Fairy brought about a suitable environment; the existence of the Rhythmic Membrane brought about the hope of life.
Neither the Dream Plant Sprites nor the Rhythmic Membrane could be used in the Dream Wasteland.
Especially the Dream Plant Sprites.
The Dream Plant Sprites came from the tree civilization, and the tree civilization was based on the Mother Tree. The Dream Wasteland had no Mother Tree, so the power of the tree civilization was completely useless in the Dream Wasteland.
Without plants and life, even if he could pull a town into the Dream Wasteland, it would still be a hopeless prison for the natives.
Angor didn't just want to solve this problem once and for all. He also wanted to let the natives find a sense of belonging in a new environment.
Also, he hoped that the Dream Wasteland could develop its own ecology and not clash with the Dream Wasteland in every aspect.
Those who imitate me will die, and those who imitate me will live.
Learning from the experience of the Dream Wasteland and creating a new world in the Dream Wasteland was what Angor wanted to see the most.
How could he create a completely different world?
Laplace's words gave Angor an idea. Perhaps the right way was to start from the nature of the Dream Wasteland itself.
Currently, the most unique feature of the Dream Wasteland was Dream Wonderland.
Perhaps he could find a residence plan in Wonderland?
"So? Have you made up your mind?" Laplace asked when she saw Angor's confused eyes slowly brightening up.
"I have an idea. But I'll need some time to figure out the specifics."
"Before I come up with a plan, I've decided to use your first suggestion. First, we'll build a temporary village in the Mirror Realm and pull them into the Dream Crystal for them to live in temporarily."
Angor wanted to study Dream Wonderland or find other unique powers of the Dream Wasteland. Both would take some time, so he decided to compromise.
He would let the natives live there for now, and he would discuss the rest later.
Laplace nodded noncommittally. "Alright then. Rabbit Mountain is relatively large. How about we build it there?"
"Sure."
"Okay." Laplace would go with them. She still needed to do the job of building the village.
"Speaking of which, you seem to care a lot about these natives," Laplace said after a pause.
She didn't think it was necessary to pay attention to these natives. They only wanted to "live", and Angor used the Dream Wasteland to turn them into natives to fulfill their wish. That was already good enough.
In Laplace's opinion, there was no need to worry about their lives now.
"They're here because they're here to block the recruitment for us."
Without them, Angor and Laplace wouldn't even dare to enter the Dream Wasteland. They were afraid that they would be dragged into the Dream Wasteland again.
Laplace kept her mouth shut. Angor was right. These natives already helped a lot by "blocking the recruitment".
She didn't want to be treated like a monkey in the circus again.
"If there's nothing else, I'll see you at Rabbit Mountain."
"That's all for now." Angor suddenly remembered something. "Oh, by the way, I —"
Before Angor could finish, Laplace suddenly looked to the side with a puzzled look.
Angor followed Laplace's gaze out of instinct.
The fishing rod that had been thrown aside by Laplace actually started to move …
Both Angor and Laplace looked at each other and saw the same expression in each other's eyes. Did they just get the goods?!
Laplace hurriedly picked up the fishing rod and began to pull the rod according to the instructions in the book.
A minute later, a fat fish with a white mane on its neck and grayish-white scales was thrown into the basket.
Both Laplace and Angor remained silent as they looked at the struggling fish in the basket.
"You caught it, right?" Angor muttered.
Laplace didn't know what to say.
She really wanted to say "yes", but she couldn't. She was not fishing at all. She had been talking to Angor the whole time. She did not even put her hand on the fishing rod.
"I don't think we'll be able to affect them even if we talk."
Laplace: "…" You don't have to say that.
"Anyway, it's good that we got something," Angor said.
That being said, Laplace always had the feeling that she was being targeted. When she was fishing dutifully and earnestly, none of the fish were hooked. They even swam around the boat as if they were mocking her.
But when she didn't care at all and even tossed her fishing rod aside, she got a new one?!
What the hell?!
Laplace felt very complicated and aggrieved. She vaguely sensed the malice of the God of Fishing.
