He didn't expect that Laplace would want to rebuild his body just because he told the story of Shadowless Withering to Laplace.
Also, Laplace sounded determined. It seemed she had already made up her mind.
"Will it affect you in any way?" Angor considered.
Laplace: "I might lose a few decades of cultivation … That's not a big deal for me."
Laplace's original body had lived for at least ten thousand years. Decades of training was nothing compared to her lifespan.
"When are you going to do it?"
"In a few days, I guess. I don't know how long it'll take. If I'm quick, I'll finish it in one or two days. But if I'm slow, I don't know how long it'll take. "
This wasn't Laplace's first time rebuilding her body. Usually, she would finish it in two days. But this time, she had to carefully examine the remaining spirit information in her body. She didn't know how much longer it would take.
"You're curious about the Peluxiu Clan's gathering, right? After this routine gathering, I'll find time to recast it. "
Laplace cared a lot about her altered memories. However, she didn't think it would happen so quickly. Even if there was something wrong, it wouldn't happen so quickly.
And this time, the White Sun Mirror Region's Clan Gathering was next week. It wasn't too far away, and it wouldn't take too long to restart after the gathering.
"Do you need my help?" Angor asked.
"Not yet. Furthermore, obtaining the story of 'Shadowless Withering' from you is already the greatest help to me. "
Also, my mind won't go to sleep when I'm rebuilding my body. If you need me, you can contact Luigi or Gleipnir. They'll tell me what you need. "
Angor nodded and didn't say anything else. Since Laplace already decided to rebuild her body, Angor didn't have the right to say anything. Besides, he might be able to find Shadowless' secret.
Next, Angor talked with Laplace about Shadowless Withering and his plans for the new residents of the Dream Crystal.
Laplace agreed that it was a good idea for the Dream Crystal to have its own unique style. They discussed the possibility of settling the new residents in Wonderland.
By the time they were almost done chatting, more than half a day had passed.
He planned to check on Luigi's progress as well as the young Astral Attendant in the pot.
Laplace, on the other hand, was preparing to enter the Unbreakable Heart Mirror's buffer space. As for the reason … it was still the same. She planned to return to the dream wasteland and continue fishing.
This time, she planned to use her own strength to catch a fish that truly belonged to her.
Angor gave a fake smile to Laplace's determination.
However, before they could leave, Glepnir logged off and told them something unexpected happened.
"Wasn't Rabbit Town just built? What happened? "Angor looked at Gleipnir in confusion.
It had only been five hours since the official opening of Rabbit Town. Under normal circumstances, the new residents of Rabbit Town were either still adapting to their new residence or digging a hole to take over. How could something have happened?
Could it be that there was a conflict between the aborigines because of a quarrel? Or did the circus call-up scare them and cause them to break down?
Glepnir sighed. "They found something strange when they were digging the hole. I can't describe it in detail. Do you want to go and check it out? "
Difficult to describe?
Angor and Laplace looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
It wouldn't take them too much time anyway, so they didn't reject the offer. They took out their logging devices and entered the Dream Crystal.
Angor confirmed that they were all going to land at Rabbit Town.
When they opened their eyes again, they saw rows of bunny buildings in different shapes.
However, the buildings weren't the most important thing. The windows of the buildings were all open, and Angor could clearly see the new residents looking down from the windows.
They weren't looking at Angor's group, but at a certain direction surrounded by the buildings.
"When we discovered the anomaly, I told all the new residents to return to Rabbit Town and not come out without my permission," Gleipnir said. Gleipnir glanced at the open windows of the Rabbit Building. "However, although they obediently returned to the building, they seem to be very interested in the abnormality that was dug out."
They're looking at the place where they dug the hole. "
Following Gleipnir's lead, Angor and Laplace walked to the so-called "hole".
They didn't hide their presence on the way, so the new residents noticed them. The new residents were curious about who they were, but they were more interested in the pool.
Yes, they dug a small pool.
Angor and Laplace also saw the pool.
The pool wasn't big. It was less than three meters in both length and width. The new residents just got their tools, and it would take them some time to dig a big hole. They spent several hours assigning rooms and digging a hole. It was already good enough that they managed to dig such a small hole.
"The situation is as you can see. When they were halfway through digging, water suddenly started seeping out of the hole," Gleipnir said. "At that time, the new residents were very happy and thought that they had dug out underground water. But they soon found out that there was another person in the hole, and he didn't come up when the water started seeping out.
"As more and more water accumulated, he … drowned."
Drowned? Angor and Laplace felt more and more suspicious.
First of all, Angor was sure that there was no underground water here. Currently, the only source of water resources was the power of astronomical changes. Although astronomical changes could appear in the Dream Crystal, the effects were not strong. As for forming water … forming underground water, at the very least, it was impossible to do so at the moment.
Also, Laplace said that the hole they dug was less than 1.5 meters tall. Even if water did seep out, it would only reach the chest of an adult. But now, Gleipnir was telling them that an adult drowned in the hole?
That was strange.
"Where's the drowning man?" Angor looked at Gleipnir.
Gleipnir said, "He was rescued by a new resident who's good at swimming. He's now resting in his room."
Gleipnir paused and continued, "According to the drowning man, the bottom of the hole disappeared. What was originally a shallow pond became a bottomless abyss in an instant. "
He can't swim, so he didn't pay attention and drowned.
"The person who saved him also confirmed this. She dived several meters and couldn't see the bottom of the hole. It's all water down there, and it's all dark. She didn't go any deeper to save him, so she came out first. "
Angor also felt strange after hearing Gleipnir's explanation. Both the water source and the bottom of the hole smelled strange. It was no wonder that Grepnir had gone offline to tell them about the situation here.
Instinctively, Angor used his spirit feelers to check the bottom of the pool. As expected, he couldn't see the bottom.
Angor used his senses to check more than ten meters down, but there was still water.
Also, he had a feeling that no matter how deep he went, there would always be water. The more he looked, the more he felt his forehead swelling.
It wasn't a mental discomfort. It was an omen.
Something unexpected would happen if he kept looking. Of course, nothing unexpected happened in the Dream Crystal was a big deal to Angor. He was worried that this might be an external manifestation of Wonderland.
It wouldn't be good if other people were dragged into the dungeon because of this.
The situation at the circus was still fresh in his memory. Even he couldn't go around the rules of Wonderland to save people, so he had to join the circus with the others.
This time, Angor was much more cautious and didn't go any deeper.
"Did you find anything?" Laplace noticed that Angor closed his eyes earlier, which meant he was trying to reach the bottom of the pool.
Angor shook his head. "There's water at least twenty meters down. I can't see clearly. I think it's the entrance to a special dungeon. "
"Dungeon entrance?" Laplace and Gleipnir couldn't help but frown when they heard this.
Dungeons offered good rewards, but they were also very troublesome.
They could accept it if it was just a combat or puzzle dungeon. But if it was a circus dungeon, they would have a hard time.
Besides, even if they could clear the circus, they would feel ashamed for a long time.
Therefore, even if the rewards were good, they didn't want to do it right now. At least, they didn't want to do it for the time being.
"That's why I don't want to go too deep. I don't want to trigger something that will drag you all into the dungeon," Angor said.
"You're right." Gleipnir agreed.
Laplace nodded as well.
"But is this really the entrance to Wonderland?" Gleipnir asked.
Angor hesitated and answered honestly, "I can't be sure. If you want to be sure, you can only activate it once … Do you want to activate it? "
Both Gleipnir and Laplace remained silent.
No one said anything, but they all knew the answer.
After a moment of silence, Angor looked at the bunny building closest to the pool. He saw a girl wearing an "adventurer" outfit and a pair of goggles standing at the entrance.
"Who's she?" Angor asked curiously.
He noticed her because the others were all inside the building. Even if they were curious, they would look outside through the windows. Only this girl was standing at the entrance. She didn't enter the building at all, and Gleipnir didn't ask her to come in.
Moreover, she had an excited expression on her face as she kept looking in his direction. If she didn't see Angor, she would have come already.
Gleipnir glanced at her and smiled. "You're talking about her? Her name is Jehanne. She's a direct descendant of Charles XIII. Although I don't know how many generations have passed, she's the only female descendant of Charles XIII to successfully transform into a mirror creature."
Before this, the people of Charlie Palace wanted to use the Mithrite Mirror to turn their descendants in the real world into mirror creatures. Almost 99% of them failed, and the success rate was very low.
Because of this, those who succeeded were highly valued.
Jehanne was no exception.
"Jehanne is different from the others in Charlie's Palace. She's more of an adventurer than a princess. She only turned into a mirror creature because she was suffering from an incurable disease in the real world. Her father had no choice but to send her into the Mithrite Mirror to try her luck.
"After that, she didn't stay in Charlie's Palace for long. She went straight to the Mirror Domain and began her new adventure.
"Unfortunately, she didn't have many extraordinary abilities, and she wasn't very lucky either. She explored a mirror space for too long, and the mirror space just happened to be annihilated. She was heavily injured as a result.
"Although she didn't die, she was quite injured. She's been recuperating in Charlie's Palace for many years, but she hasn't fully recovered yet. She's in a coma for 300 days a year.
"Because the Mirror Domain has no dreams, and Charles XIII pitied her, he gave her a log-in device so that she could at least have a place to go in her coma."
In conclusion, Jehanne was the only one among the new residents who still had a body. As long as her body woke up in the real world, she could go offline.
She could be considered half a new resident.
"By the way, the one who saved the drowning person was also Jehanne. She's an adventurous person, and she's good at swimming, "Gleipnir said.
As for why Jehanne was outside, it was because Gleipnir allowed her to do so.
Charles XIII and Gleipnir were friends, and Gleipnir didn't mind opening the door for Jehanne when it came to matters of principle.
"She seems to be interested in the pond?" Laplace asked in a small voice.
Gleipnir nodded. "As I said, she's an adventurer. When she noticed that the bottom of the pit disappeared and became a connected body of water, she wanted to dive down and explore. But she was delayed because she had to save someone.
"Then she asked me to dive again, but I refused. However, from the looks of it, she probably hasn't given up on the idea of diving. "
Gleipnir sighed. "These adventurers, they always want to go to places that are dangerous or abnormal. Now I know why Charles XIII always gets a headache when mentioning Jehanne. "
Laplace glanced at Jehanne and saw the deep desire in her eyes.
She considered and said, "If she really wants to dive, we can let her try."
Gleipnir frowned and wanted to argue, but Angor interrupted him.
"The pool is right in Rabbit Town, so it's hard to stop them from using it. She's not the only one who's curious. "
Gleipnir looked around the Rabbit Building. As expected, he saw a strong sense of curiosity in the eyes of the new residents.
"Rabbit Town is already here. There's no reason for us to let them move until there's no clear danger."
"We'll have to see how the pond works."
"Since Jehanne wants to explore, we can let her try. At least she still has a body in the real world. If there's really a dangerous dungeon entrance down there, I can kick her out of the Dream Crystal as soon as possible. "
