"This is the Ying Ji Tribe. They like to live in cold environments. Therefore, an environment like Crystal City is like a fish in water to them."
Angor and Luigi kept walking toward the city. Along the way, Luigi used his nickname "Science Machine" again. Wherever Angor looked, Luigi would tell him about the races in the mirror.
At this time, Luigi was telling Angor about the Ingit Race.
The Ingit Race looked exactly like humans. They all wore suits, leather boots, and large cloaks. Judging from their backs, they looked valiant.
However, their backs alone weren't enough to attract Angor's attention. There were so many humanoid races in Crystal City these days.
The reason why he noticed these Ingis was that they looked very similar to Houston.
Huston was a waiter at Barbie's Restaurant. His nickname was "Big Eyes", but he didn't have eyes. He was also known as the "Eyeless Man".
This was the case for the Ingit Race. None of them had eyes.
At least, they didn't look like they had eyes.
"You're right. They were born without eyes. However, their race has a very unique inheritance, or it can be called their race's talent. This talent is called Heart Fire. "Luigi explained in a timely manner.
"The Heart Fire you're talking about, is it the flame in front of them?" Apart from the lack of eyes, Angor also noticed something strange about the Ingit Race. Each of them carried a burning flame. Some held white candles in their hands, some used lanterns to illuminate their surroundings, some had green flames around them, and some used torches to protect their bodies. Of course, most of them just floated around their bodies.
Were these the "Heart Fire" Luigi mentioned?
Luigi nodded. "That's right. These are Heart Flames. Their characteristics are very strange. They can fuse with Heart Force and transform it into a visual world. In other words, when the Ying Ji Clan combines their Heart Force with their flames, the flames will become the Ying Ji Clan's eyes. "
"It's said that the Ingit Race can scan the area covered by the Heart Fire without any blind spots. Therefore, the brighter the Heart Flame is, the wider the area it illuminates. This means that the Ying Ji Clan member's Heart Force is stronger and stronger. "
The fire in his heart acted as his eyes to observe the heavens and the earth. This was the biggest characteristic of the Ying Ji Clan.
At first, he was only curious about the appearance of the "eyeless man". But after listening to Luigi's description, he was more interested in this "flame of heart".
"Is Heart Flame only available to the Ingit Clan?" Angor asked.
Luigi glanced at Angor and seemed to have read his mind. "You want to study Heart Flame?"
"Not really," said Angor. However, Heart Fire can fuse with power and observe a more detailed field of vision. This should be useful in alchemy. "
He wasn't sure if it would work, but fire was an indispensable element in alchemy experiments. Maybe he could find something useful.
Luigi said, "The Ying Ji Clan seems to have a place to pass on the Heart Fire, but I've never heard of an outsider being able to pass on the Heart Fire. Even if you can bring out flames, you won't be able to use them because you don't have heart power. "
Luigi looked at Angor. "You can control heart power?"
Heart power was a type of energy that relied on one's mind. As far as Luigi knew, very few people in the wizarding world could use it.
Angor thought about it and shook his head.
It was true that he could not master the power of the heart. Among the Transcendents that he had seen so far who could use the power of the heart, the first was Gomito, the Heart Eater, who could use the power of the heart. There was also the Silver Coral Island's treasure mermaid, Mei Ji, who could also use the power of the heart.
Also, there was the young man in the pot they fished out from the Sea of Mirrors. The Astral Attendant, who was still in a hollow state, seemed to be able to use Heart power as well.
This was because Astral Attendant's Book of Wishes contained Heart power.
However, none of them were real humans. As far as Angor knew, there were only half of wizards in the southern wizarding region who could use Heart power. One of them was "Lady in God's Outfit" Carveline.
As for why it was "half", it was because Carveline couldn't use her soul power, either. However, when her Shepherd God's Clothing transformed into the Soul God's Robe, she was able to release her soul power.
Although Carveline could only release Heart power because of her outfit, it still reminded Angor of something.
If Carveline could borrow external power, why couldn't he?
He was an alchemist, and he could always try to make something that could release Heart power. It was a little difficult, but it was still possible.
Angor told Luigi his idea.
Luigi considered for a moment. "I don't know if your idea will work. But if you're really interested in Heart Fire, we can talk to the Ingit Clan during the gathering."
Luigi didn't know anyone from the Ingit Clan, but Glaipnir had talked to them before. Also, the Ingit Clan had a good reputation. They might look cold on the outside, but they were actually quite friendly inside.
Maybe they could try.
…
They talked about the Heart Fire of Ying Ji's clan as they walked deeper into the frozen ground.
They could already see the outline of Crystal City. It was similar to what they saw outside the dome, but it was even bigger and grander.
Crystal City was located in the depths of the Frozen Earth. Behind it were a series of snowy mountains.
Each mountain was at least eight thousand meters tall.
Crystal City didn't look small at all among the mountains. Instead, it still looked like a giant, and its tallest point was even taller than the mountains.
From this, one could see how big this crystal city was.
It was only a castle, but it was already bigger than most of the cities Angor saw.
As its name suggested, Crystal City looked like it was made of crystal. Under the illumination of the permanent light source, it reflected a dazzling light.
However, according to Luigi, although there were crystals in the Crystal City, there were not many of them. Most of them were made of "Unmeltable Ice", which was why the walls of Crystal City were mostly made of Unmeltable Ice.
As for the pure white spots on the walls, they were "Unburnable Frost", which kept the city in its original shape.
Apart from Unmeltable Ice and Unburnable Frost, there was another material that Angor didn't expect.
It was the corpses of Crystal Eyes.
The overall appearance of the Crystal Eye Race was actually quite similar to that of human beings. However, their skin was like transparent glass, their flesh was like colorless liquid gold, and their bones were like icicles on the frozen ground. They would not rot after death. Instead, they would slowly harden and eventually become real crystals.
These crystals, which the Crystal Eyes called "Saint Corpse Crystals", would eventually fuse with Crystal City. Not only did they expand the size of the city, but they also strengthened it.
One could say that the Crystal Eyes lived their lives in Crystal City, and when they died, they became Crystal City.
"Of course, there are other secrets about how the Crystal Eyes fused their Saint Corpse Crystals into Crystal City." Luigi leaned closer to Angor and lowered his voice. "It is said that there is a forbidden area in Crystal City where outsiders are not allowed to enter. Only Crystal Eyes of suitable age are allowed to enter. When they go in, they are still ignorant. But when they come out, they all master amazing abilities. Most of them came from the dead Crystal Eyes. "
"So you're saying the Saint Corpse Crystal can pass on abilities?"
Luigi shrugged. "That's what the rumors say. No one knows the details. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Just treat it as gossip. "
Angor nodded. Even if it was true, it was not a big deal. Wizards had similar abilities. In fact, Bloodline Wizards could make their own Bloodline Potions to pass on abilities. It was just that they had strict requirements for the users.
They chatted as they moved forward. Besides, there was no restriction on using abilities here. It didn't take long for them to reach Crystal City.
From afar, the city already looked magnificent. Closer up, it was even more shocking.
What was so great about looking up to? The Crystal City in front of them was a perfect example.
The city was so big that it filled up their entire field of vision. The sheer size of the city created a shocking contrast with their own tiny size.
As for the various clans that entered and exited, they were like ants. Compared to the incomparably huge Crystal City, each individual was like an insignificant small boat in the surging torrent of water.
Even a nearby giant Mirror Dragon couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance in front of Crystal City.
Maybe this was one of the reasons why the Crystal Eyes built such a huge city?
As the actual controller of the "Dream Wasteland" and the "Dream Wasteland", he often used God's Eye View to observe the sand table. Compared to looking down at the city from above, the city was still too small.
Then again, Angor didn't care about the city's grandeur. However, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw so many races.
Even in the wizarding world, it was rare to see so many different races peacefully gathered together, let alone in the dream wasteland.
Luigi pulled Angor's sleeve and said, "Look over there."
He turned around and followed the direction of Luigi's finger.
The Crystal City was built with a pointed tower, a square monument, and a dome. It looked just like the legendary castle where Princess Frost lived, except it was enlarged countless times.
At this time, several gates of the Crystal City were opened. They didn't just refer to the thousand-meter-tall gate on the ground. There were also the underground gate, the floating gate, and the platform at the top of the castle. These were all used to receive visitors, and they were built for different races.
The place Luigi was pointing at was also a passageway, but Angor wasn't sure if it was a gate. It wasn't big, and it was located near one of the pointed towers.
It looked like a pavilion on top of the crystal wall. Behind the pavilion was a winding corridor that led to an unknown destination.
In front of the pavilion was a platform about ten meters long and wide.
At this moment, there was a silver-haired girl in a long dress standing on the platform. Her hair was very long, almost reaching the ground. Her hair was tough and shapeshifting. Now, her hair had shapeshifted into a chair that could be suspended in the air. The girl sat on the chair and looked down with indifferent eyes.
She wasn't standing high, and she wasn't big either. However, the aura around her was so fierce that she looked like a god overlooking all living beings.
It was also because of her aura that could not be ignored that no one dared to approach this platform.
She didn't mind at all. She glanced around.
When he looked at her, he saw her looking straight into her eyes.
When she saw Angor, she nodded and whispered, "Come up."
Without a doubt, it was Laplace.
"Let's go. I don't want to stand in front of the gate. The VIP passage was already the limit. If we wait here, we won't be able to get into Crystal City by the end of the day. "Luigi dragged Angor to the platform in the air.
The closer they got to the platform, the fewer people there were.
Of course, it was because of Laplace.
Angor had to admit that Laplace's aura was quite intimidating. He wasn't releasing any energy, but no one dared to approach him.
It was a bit cliché to call him a "ruler", but Angor couldn't think of a better way to describe it.
He only felt this kind of aura from Mister Monkey and Nai Meicui.
It was the deterrence of a creature at the pinnacle of the legendary realm.
He couldn't help but picture Laplace scratching his head in frustration on the boat, trying his best to catch something.
Who would think that such a god-like man was an old fisherman who couldn't catch anything?
When they arrived at the platform, Laplace saw Angor's strange expression.
"You're thinking about something dangerous." Laplace squinted at Angor.
Laplace didn't look into Angor's mind, but as a powerful being, she could tell that Angor was thinking about something strange.
Angor cleared his throat. "I'm thinking … I don't think Glaipnir is here. Where did she go?"
Laplace gave Angor a thoughtful look. "Didn't you tell Luigi that you're interested in the items? She went to borrow some display booklets."
Angor wasn't surprised that Laplace knew about their conversation. As Luigi's host, he could easily send messages to anyone.
But Angor was more curious about the booklets Glaipnir borrowed.
Luigi's explanation gave Angor a general idea about the booklets. Usually, each race would have one booklet. The booklets not only allowed people to see the items on display, but they could also be used to purchase and communicate with other races.
In other words, the booklets were a platform for displaying, trading, and conversing.
Both the concept and the implementation of the booklets were quite advanced.
According to Angor, Sage Pika modified the booklets specifically for this gathering.
They could only be used within Crystal City, but they were still useful. Apart from not being able to see the items with his own eyes, the booklets had other practical functions.
He even thought about copying — no, using the Mother Tree Interconnector as a reference, if the booklet's functions were good enough, he could build a solid foundation for his future online platform.
Usually, people would lend the booklets to others. But this booklet had so many functions. Would anyone really lend it to others?
