Luigi cursed and scolded the Longhuo Tribe along the way.
"War maniac", "crazy scoundrel", "rumor monger", "dark force" … Luigi tried to accuse the Longhuo Tribe of all kinds of names. But he was not completely wrong. Luigi could always give a few examples to prove his point.
After saying some examples where he was sure that the Longho Tribe was behind it, Luigi raised a few more rumors that could not be confirmed but were very popular.
For example, the split between the Tooth Fairy and the Ancient Tooth Fairy.
As everyone knew, the split in the Tooth Fairy Clan was related to two symbolic events: the first was the spread of hollow tooth fairies, and the second was the ascension of the Tooth Fairy Queen.
Although the timeline was clear on the surface, and the events themselves were clear, there were still some inexplicable things behind the two events.
"I've met a lot of tooth fairies. They are actually quite simple and kind, and they don't really care about 'gains and losses'. However, after the Hollow Tooth Fairy Incident began, the 'anti-intellectualism' among the tooth fairies suddenly became louder. They were full of hatred toward the scholars in the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins. They felt that they only enjoyed the resources but did not do anything in return. Although what they said was true, the tooth fairies who spoke out did not actually make any contributions to the tooth fairies, and they also received the resources.
"At first, the voices of hatred were just small sparks in the Tooth Fairy Clan. But when the Tooth Fairy Queen came to power, the sparks started to spread like wildfire. Similar voices were heard everywhere in the Tooth Fairy Clan. In the end, the Tooth Fairy Queen cut off the resources from the Tooth Fairy Ruins.
"And so, the Ancient Tooth Fairy and the Tooth Fairy Clan split."
Luigi looked at Angor. "Did you hear it? The real cause of the split was the anti-intellectual voices that suddenly became louder. Is the original source of these 'voices' really the Tooth Fairy? "
Luigi shrugged and did not say anything else.
But he already knew what he meant.
He suspected that the anti-intellectual voices were actually caused by the Longhuo Tribe.
However, there was no evidence to support his suspicion.
"Did the Tooth Fairy and the Ancient Tooth Fairy never think that the Longhuo Tribe had something to do with their split?" Angor asked. Luigi's explanation was from a macroscopic perspective. He did not mention the two parties involved.
Luigi said, "This is the brilliance of the Long Huo race. They completely drove a wedge between the Tooth Fairy and the Ancient Tooth Fairy. As long as they mention the other party, it's either disdain or obvious disgust. They're completely swayed by their emotions and don't consider whether there's something fishy behind the split. "
"And those tooth fairies who are willing to consider it will be isolated by the group. Naturally, they became more and more estranged from each other. Even if they had doubts in their hearts, they definitely didn't like each other on the surface. "
Angor nodded. He had a general idea. This was the so-called "ideological stamp", or "correct ideological thought". Once they went against the trend of thought, they would become the target of condemnation.
If this was really the work of the Changhuo Tribe, then their methods were indeed brilliant.
However, it was not invulnerable.
In a world where Transcendents were hidden, it would take several generations of hard work to get rid of this steel-stamped ideology. But in the Transcendents' world, wouldn't a prophecy solve the problem?
Whether or not the Long Huo Tribe was behind this could be verified through prophecies.
Luigi sighed and didn't say anything. Laplace suddenly spoke up, "If prophecies work, he wouldn't have to keep making guesses."
"Prophecies don't work?" Angor was puzzled.
Laplace shook his head. "Not exactly. All the prophecies related to this matter show that … there's no interference."
The Museum of Monster Suppression.
Because of this, Luigi spoke for a long time and pointed out many suspicious points. In the end, he only ended up with guesses without any solid evidence.
Luigi continued, "Prophecies aren't always trustworthy. If they're really that useful, the rumors about the 'Monster of Mirror' wouldn't have spread like wildfire. Prophecies can be blocked. For example, if someone tries to make a prophecy about us now, they'll be stopped by your barrier. "
Laplace's barrier didn't only block people's vision, it also had a certain anti-prophecy function.
The reason why the rumors about the "Monster of Mirror" spread like wildfire was because the Mirror Sea itself had anti-prophecy properties. Most of the prophecies related to the Mirror Sea would not work.
In conclusion, prophecies weren't omnipotent.
Angor considered and looked at the girl walking in front of him. "Laplace, do you think the Everhustle Tribe has nothing to do with the Tooth Fairy's split?"
Luigi already had his own opinion, so he expressed more emotions. What about Laplace? Did she think the Everhustle Tribe had nothing to do with the prophecies?
Angor was curious about Laplace's opinion.
Laplace remained silent for a moment. "No. I don't think the Everhustle Tribe is completely innocent either."
"… Huh?" Angor thought Laplace would oppose the idea, but now, she seemed to be on Luigi's side. She was just arguing with Luigi a second ago, and now she was on Luigi's side?
"Do you think a tribe that dares to stir up trouble and spread rumors without anti-prophecy abilities can do that?"
Angor considered carefully. Indeed, the tribe's name contained the word "Everhustle", which meant they were born to stir up trouble. If they didn't have any tricks up their sleeves, they wouldn't dare to stir up trouble so recklessly.
"But the Everhustle Tribe isn't stupid. They're willing to talk about some of the things they do, but they don't dare to talk about other things.
If they really had something to do with the Tooth Fairy's split, they wouldn't dare to talk about it. "
Regardless of whether it was the Tooth Immortal Paradise or the Tooth Immortal Ancient Ruins, their powers were both enormous. Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins, in particular, controlled the economy of the entire White Sun Mirror Region.
For example, the gathering this time was organized by Pilucci and organized by the Crystaleye Race. However, it was Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins that organized the gathering.
Without a "trustworthy" race like Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins, no one would believe that the gathering could be held successfully.
After all, the different races in the gathering not only looked different, but also had different civilizations, habits, and even living styles. Humans often said that "aliens are not to be trusted", which was also applicable here.
How could they get along with each other if they had different values?
Normally, the races in the mirror region wouldn't trust each other. Only during regular gatherings, when there was a powerful race backing them up, would they show some restraint.
Therefore, if the Everhustle Tribe really stirred up the Tooth Fairy's internal strife, they would never announce it to the public. They wouldn't be able to withstand the Tooth Fairy's retaliation.
Considering this, the Everhustle Tribe must have anti-prophecy abilities.
They weren't necessarily innocent.
However, it was impossible to convict them based on this alone. Therefore, even though Laplace was on Luigi's side, he didn't say anything that was impossible.
Anyways, he only needed to know that something was wrong.
As an outsider, he didn't really care what the final result was. He just wanted to listen to the fun.
…
Along the way, they encountered quite a few strange alien races.
Every time Luigi saw an alien race, he would tell Angor about it.
However, there were also some races that Luigi had never heard of before. For example, Luigi didn't recognize a type of floating green "Slime".
Luigi didn't know what they were, but Laplace seemed to have seen them before. "I don't know their names, but I don't think they're native to the mirror region. I saw them in the Empty Mirror Sea, and they live in an environment that's similar to —"
Laplace paused, as if he was trying to find a suitable description. After pondering for a long time, he said, "It's probably similar to the environment in Chenchi's world."
Chen Chi World, the Evil Flame civilization.
Angor didn't know much about this world. He only read a few words about it in the Wasteland Expedition Log. It was said that this was a civilization that developed from fire, and there were some aggressive Evil Flame gods living there.
In short, it was a world full of fire. Compared to the Tide Realm, Chen Chi World was a true paradise of fire.
The fiery territory of the Tidal Realm was still built on the "earth", and even the so-called "earth" of Chen Chi's World was made up of "special flames".
Chen Chi World could be considered a world of pure elemental elements.
If these green "Slime" lived in a place similar to Chen Chi World, perhaps it was also a world of pure elemental elements?
He didn't use his spirit feelers to sense the green Slime. Even so, he still sensed some wind ripples in the air.
This was a creature that could control the power of wind.
Maybe it lived in a world of wind?
It didn't matter where they lived or what kind of race they belonged to. Their presence here meant that the Mirror Realm wasn't the only place for this gathering. Supernatural creatures from "other worlds" were also coming.
This also meant that Angor would be able to see "specialties" of different races in the Mirror Realm as well as goods from other realms.
Angor looked forward to the gathering even more.
Come to think of it, the green Slimes weren't the first Transcendent creature from another world he had encountered.
As a "human", Angor was also an outsider.
"Maybe I can meet other humans here?" Angor suddenly had an idea.
"Human?" Laplace heard Angor's question. He glanced at Angor and said, "There's one over there."
Angor was surprised. He just said he would run into a human, and now there was another one? Already?
Angor quickly looked up and followed Laplace's gaze.
As expected, a human followed a four-meter-tall humanoid creature out of a fork in the road not far ahead.
From the back, this was a human with long hair. Her dark purple hair was tied up with a black rubber band and combed into a high ponytail.
As for his outfit, he looked like an exorcist from the Cult of Darkness. His short, complicated uniform didn't hinder his movements. Also, he had a pair of long legs covered in black trousers.
As for the humanoid creature beside him, it looked similar to a human except for its bulky body and muscular body. Its face was covered by a curtain.
Angor saw this creature outside Crystal City before. It was a race from the Mirror Realm called the Ersi Clan.
There weren't many of them, but they were as powerful as the Crystaleyes because they had a powerful talent: Stabilizing Mirror Spaces.
Their faces were all covered by curtains, and it was said that anyone who saw their faces would be met with bad luck. This was why they never showed their true faces to anyone.
While Angor was observing the strange creatures, the man with the ponytail noticed someone looking at him.
He turned around and looked at Angor.
Yes, it was a "he", not a "she".
Angor thought it was a man from the back because he was tall and broad. However, the man's long, dark purple ponytail almost reached his waist, which confused Angor.
Now that the man turned around, Angor saw his full face.
The exorcist uniform fit his body perfectly, which showed off his figure. Angor also saw a handsome face and a bulging Adam's apple.
The other party seemed to be surprised to see three "humans" here.
Angor, Luigi, and Laplace were all "humans" in his eyes. At least, they looked human.
He also noticed that the gaze he sensed earlier came from the red-haired, golden-eyed young man. The man didn't try to hide his gaze, and Angor didn't sense any malicious intent.
He considered for a moment.
He spoke to the Ersi Clan member beside him and walked toward Angor.
On the other side, Angor also saw the man with the ponytail.
Angor wasn't surprised at all. As long as the man didn't mean any harm, Angor was willing to talk to other people in this "foreign land".
On the other hand, Ponytail was talking to the Ear Clan member before coming here. Angor was curious about that.
This reminded Angor of another human he met in the Mirror Realm.
Dodo Dodo, or "Mirror of Tides" Yagulo.
Yagulo lost his memory and lived in the City of Hot Gold. His partner was a pink orb named Dodo Dodo.
Now that Angor saw the man with the ponytail talking to the Ersi Clan member, who even bent down to greet him, Angor felt a sense of deja vu.
Was this man also one of the Hollow Men rescued by the Ancient Tooth Fairy? Then fell into the hands of this Ersi Clan member? Then the lightning triggered the underground fire?
Angor couldn't help but shudder when he imagined this.
It couldn't be a coincidence, could it?
While Angor was still thinking, the man with the ponytail already approached Angor. He nodded to Angor from five meters away and looked around. "Are you … humans too?"
