"Secret?" Angor was puzzled.
Laplace glanced at Glaipnir and sent a voice transmission to Angor. "I'll tell you later."
As soon as he said that, Glaipnir seemed to have received Laplace's gaze. He said to Rita, "Are you really going to leave Crystal City?"
Li Ta didn't answer. He only looked at the direction of the snowy mountains.
He didn't answer, but Angor could tell that he was still hesitating.
Maybe he didn't want to leave just like that. Or maybe he was still looking forward to something.
Glaipnir was silent for a moment before he sighed and said, "I understand … Follow me first."
Li Ta was surprised. What did Glaipnir mean? He didn't even understand it himself.
"Where are we going?" Li Ta asked timidly.
"We're going to see Ida."
Ida was Siluda's loyal servant. Since Glaipnir and Siluda were good friends, Glaipnir knew Ida as well.
Glaipnir already knew that this matter was related to that secret. If he wanted to solve it completely, he had to find Ida first.
While speaking, Glaipnir took out a thick crystal book and handed it to Angor. "This is the exhibition booklet for the gathering. As for the details, I'll tell you later —"
Glaipnir glanced at Laplace and Luigi. "Luigi will explain it to you."
After making the arrangements, Glaipnir said to everyone, "I'm going to take care of the Force Tower. I'll be back soon."
With that, Glaipnir turned around and walked into the dark tunnel.
Halfway through, Glaipnir turned to look at Rita, who was still in a daze and did not move. "Hurry up and catch up. I'm helping you solve the problem for Shiluda's sake. Don't let my patience run out. "
Li Ta's hair stood on end. He quickly followed Glaipnir.
The stooped figure and the crystalline youth walked into the darkness and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Angor was left alone on the platform, along with Luigi and Laplace, who were still in deep thought.
The silence lasted for half a minute before Laplace broke the silence. "Let's go. The first gathering is about to begin. I heard from Luigi that you're interested in studying Heart Fire? The Ingit Race sent a general this time. He'll only show up on the first day. If you want to study Heart Fire properly, he's the only one who can do it. "
"General of the Ingit Race?" Angor asked, "Is that how the Ingit Race works?"
Laplace didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Luigi to explain. "You can say that the Ingit Race has a very strict hierarchy. Their core system is something like an army."
"In the language of the Yingji Tribe, 'General' is not the most accurate translation, but it's not too far off. They also say 'General', 'Lieutenant General', and 'Major General' when they are in diplomacy."
Angor easily understood the hierarchy system system of the Ingit Race: soldier,, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Colonel, and General.
It looked like five levels, but there were more subdivisions. Soldiers were divided into three ranks: lower, middle, and upper. Sergeants were also divided into three ranks: lower, middle, and upper. Sergeants were divided into three ranks: sergeant. Lieutenants were divided into warrant officers and lieutenants. Generally speaking, to advance from a soldier to a general, one had to pass more than five levels. Without great achievements, one might not become a general even if he or she spent hundreds of years.
Of course, the military system was only used by the government. Civilians had their own way of doing things.
After explaining the hierarchy of the Ingit Race, Luigi turned to Laplace and asked, "By the way, is the general here a three-star one?"
Love Story
"No, it's a one-star one."
"You're right. It's just a gathering. They don't need to send a three-star general here," Luigi mumbled and stopped talking.
"What's the difference between a one-star Supernova and a three-star Supernova? I don't mean in terms of level. "
Angor knew that a three-star general had a higher rank than a one-star general. But why did Luigi specifically mention a three-star general?
Luigi glanced at Laplace and whispered to Angor, "Of course there's a difference. A three-star general is the highest leader of the Ingit Race. Only those at the level of a leader would know about the existence of the main body."
"You get it, right?" Luigi winked at Angor.
"… Got it."
Laplace's main body stayed in the Empty Mirror Sea all year long. No matter how powerful he was, not many people knew about him. Even the powerful Yingji Clan only had the top three-star generals. They might have heard of Laplace, but the others definitely didn't.
If a three-star general was here, it would be much easier for them to carry out their plan. At the very least, the general would give them some benefits for the sake of Laplace's main body.
As for a one-star general, he or she was already at the top of the Ingit Race. However, a one-star general would not be qualified to learn about the secrets of the White Sun Mirror Domain.
They might not be able to gain anything from dealing with the general.
After learning about the Ingit Race, Angor asked another question, "What do you mean by 'gathering'?"
"Let's go first. I'll tell you as we go," Laplace said.
Angor nodded and followed Laplace with Luigi.
They also took the same dark tunnel. They entered right after Glaipnir, but they could no longer sense Glaipnir's aura.
When they reached the first fork, Angor finally understood why the aura disappeared so quickly.
Because with just a turn, they came from a quiet passage to a huge and noisy ring-shaped castle.
The castle was similar to the "earthen buildings" on Earth that Angor saw in the hologram tablet. The castle was surrounded by layers of buildings, and there were ten layers of them.
Each layer was brightly lit with people coming and going. It looked like a bustling city. In the middle of the castle, there were floating bridges made of crystals that gave off colorful lights, which made the place even more dreamy and lively.
Most of the races he saw on the outskirts of the city could be seen here. They walked around the shops on different levels, taking in small bags and leaving large ones. Angor felt like he was in a bustling business district.
"You asked about the 'gathering', right?" Laplace lifted his chin. "This is the 'gathering'. Of course, this is only one of the sub-stations. "
Luigi helped to fill in the gaps.
Angor finally understood what was going on with Luigi's explanation.
The inner part of Crystal City was filled with ring-shaped castles. According to Luigi's incomplete statistics, there were at least a hundred of them, all of which looked similar except for the number of floors.
The largest one was located in the deepest part of Crystal City, which was also the main station of this "gathering".
Not only did it sell goods from different races, but it also had the most important display platform for the gathering.
Trading goods was only a small part of this gathering. The core of the gathering was the exchange of technology and knowledge. The display platform was where the core technologies of different races were displayed.
All the technologies displayed on the display stage could be consulted and exchanged.
In other words, the display platform was the real stage of the gathering.
If the logins could be displayed on the display platform, they would soon spread the news among the mirror races. Unfortunately, they didn't have a spot.
Still, Angor was hesitant to show up even if there was a spot. After all, the display platform was meant for all the mirror races. Once the news about the logins spread, they would have to worry about the production of the logins.
Angor didn't even have enough logins for the tea party yet. He couldn't guarantee that he would be able to produce a large number of Dream Crystals in a short time.
Angor's initial plan was to spread the Dream Crystals to the higher-ups of the mirror races first, and then he would slowly spread them to the ordinary people.
Therefore, it didn't really matter whether he could use the display platform or not.
Luigi's voice reached Angor's ears. "What are you thinking about? You're not going to stop here to check out the goods, are you? "
"No need. The shops here only sell small stuff. They're all listed in the display booklet. Let's go to the main battlefield first. That's where we'll find the real treasures. "
Angor nodded at Luigi and followed Luigi.
After walking around the fortress, they arrived at a mirror made of ice. Laplace gave it a push, and the mirror slowly disappeared, revealing a dark passage.
The noises outside disappeared as soon as they entered the passage. It was as if the passage had separated them into two different dimensions.
Angor didn't pay much attention to the passage when he first entered. Now that he looked around, he noticed that the passage was made of something similar to crystals, which gave off a chilly aura.
It wasn't just a physical coldness. It could even reach the depths of one's soul. Angor didn't feel any malice at the moment, but he still felt uncomfortable.
"Is the material used to construct this tunnel … a Saint Corpse Crystal?" Angor asked.
Angor didn't think it was the effect of "Unmeltable Ice" or "Unburnable Frost".
Laplace's cold voice came from the front. "I don't know. But even if there is, it's probably just a small part of it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a barrier formed by ripples that were hard to see with the naked eye shrouded everyone.
"You should be careful when talking about undead crystals in Crystal City," Laplace said in a casual tone.
Clearly, Laplace was the one who created the barrier.
Angor nodded and let the barrier cover him.
…
The moment the barrier appeared, a group of Crystal Eye Clan guards, who were covered in dazzling crystals, were patrolling back and forth in a room that was filled with a large amount of crystal dust in the depths of Crystal City.
"I heard someone talking about undead crystals." One of the guards suddenly stopped in front of a pile of crystal dust.
Only the Crystal Eye Race had the ability to figure out the meaning of the crystal dust just by looking at it.
"Did they say anything else?" the captain asked.
The guard was about to answer when he saw the crystal dust slowly dispersing.
These crystals would only gather when someone mentioned a "key word". Since the crystal dust was dispersing, either the person left the surveillance area, or the person didn't mention anything else.
The captain already knew the answer without waiting for the guard's answer.
The captain was about to say something when another guard spoke up. "Someone here mentioned undead crystals and undead crystals."
"Same here."
"Captain, I also saw some crystals gathering here."
Several voices came at the same time.
The captain closed his only eye and rubbed his sore eye. "Never mind. They're just random mentions. Don't worry about it. The gathering is about to begin, and all the races are here. More and more people will mention the key words. Just pay attention to the ones who keep mentioning the key words. As for the rest … just ignore them. "
After making a decision, the group of guards started patrolling again, and they silently interpreted the information of the crystal dust that gathered around them …
…
On the other side of the tunnel, Angor suddenly remembered the "secret" Laplace mentioned in his voice transmission and asked out of curiosity.
"What did Glipnir mean when he said that there was a secret behind the Force Tower?"
Laplace fell into silence after hearing Angor's question.
It wasn't that she didn't want to talk about it. She was using Mind Synchronization to contact Glypnir.
Two minutes later, Laplace spoke again, "Glypnir didn't give us a clear answer. He only has some guesses."
"Before we talk about these speculations, let's talk about the message that Glaipnir sent me."
"The reason why Glaipnir was able to determine that there was a secret behind the power tower was because he had seen Ida before and knew some things about her."
Ida was Siluda's loyal servant. She was Siluda's servant on the surface, but Ida and Siluda were very close.
Shiruda loved Rita the most, and as a result, Shiruda also loved Rita deeply. Ida loved Ida as much as Ida's mother.
Glypnir didn't know much about Ida's mother, so he couldn't tell what kind of person she was.
However, Glaipnir was certain that Ida would never harm Rita.
With this premise, it was strange to look at what Aida had done. Aida had told Rita that his mother was about to give birth to a new life, and had advised the grieving Rita to leave Crystal City.
The first half of the sentence, which was the secret that Ida had told Rita, was not important. What was important was what she wanted Rita to do.
Ida wanted Ida to leave Crystal City.
There was no doubt that this was Ida's true goal.
Ida wouldn't harm Ida, so she wanted Ida to leave Crystal City. This was very interesting.
Was there some kind of danger in Crystal City? Why would Ida want Ida to leave no matter what?
He also thought about how Ida's mother suddenly changed her attitude toward Ida. She even wanted to give birth to a new child. This was even more intriguing.
And all these strange things pointed to one thing: the Power Tower was in danger.
