After hearing Laplace's introduction of the water droplet, everyone fell into silence. No one expected Harland Woga to fail to find out the side effects of the treasure even though he had it for so long.
What was even more surprising was the fact that the water droplet had such a huge restriction.
Luckily, the previous owner of the water droplet spoke up. Otherwise, it would be bad if the water droplet was rented out and caused problems.
After all, not everyone was like Harland Woga, who was obsessed with Giants and Trolls and was too lazy to experiment with the other functions of the water droplet. However, many people would have the same idea as Angor if they rented out the water droplet. Not knowing the limitations of the water droplet could lead to serious problems.
"Sir, are you … still planning to rent the water droplet?" Olessandro asked after a moment of hesitation.
Since when did I say I wanted to rent the Waterdrop of Reflection?
Although he did have some wild and fanciful thoughts just now, these wild and fanciful thoughts were splashed with cold water before they could sublimate.
"No need." Angor shook his head. "Anything else? They're all treasures. No Mystery items?"
Olessandro hesitated and said, "My master does have a Mystery item, but he won't lend it to others."
"That's fine. Can I listen to its effects?" Angor didn't really want to borrow the Mystery item. It would be good to learn more about it.
Olessandro nodded. "Sure. It's not a secret in the Sun Mirror Region."
"The name of this mysterious item is called the Sevenfold Shield."
While Olessandro was talking about the "Septuple Shield", Laplace suddenly frowned and lowered his head. No one could tell what he was thinking about.
[Mystery Item: Sevenfold Shield]
[Appearance: A round shield that can be hung on one's arm. Wrapped in seven layers of cowhide, each layer of cowhide has the same pattern in the center — Libra. ]
[Effect: Sevenfold Shield provides absolute physical defense. Every time a layer of cowhide was removed, the range of this defense would be greatly increased. ]
[Note 1. Every time a layer of cowhide is removed, a sacrifice must be made to satisfy the balance of the scale. 2. The cowhide covering the shield is not a seal, but a protection. ]
The effect of the Sevenfold Shield was simple and straightforward.
And it was a rare kind that had a stable property. Before removing the cowhide, the item would not cost anything.
When it was stable, the item's Padt Coefficient would not be too high. Or maybe it was only below 10.
However, when the cowhide was removed, the property would change and "sacrifice" would be involved. In this case, the Padt Coefficient would be determined based on the cost of the sacrifice.
According to Olessandro's explanation, only three layers of the Sevenfold Shield had been removed.
The first layer had no cost and would not be sacrificed.
The second layer of seven shields would be sacrificed, and the defensive range would expand to the size of a city.
As for the third layer of seven shields, it would continue to be sacrificed, and its defensive range would expand to cover the entire Hundred Dragon Divine Nation.
Olessandro did not mention the specific requirements of the sacrifice, but from his solemn expression and the fact that he explicitly mentioned that it was best not to use the seven-layered shield unless absolutely necessary, it meant that the more cowhide was undone, the more the sacrifice would consume.
Moreover, this kind of sacrifice is not something you can avoid even if you want to. Once you removed the cowhide, you would be forced to sacrifice in the area.
When the Sevenfold Shield was removed, the entire Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom had suffered an unprecedented loss.
Because of this, the Sevenfold Shield had not been removed until now.
Based on Harlan Wojia's speculation, when the Sevenfold Shield was removed, its defensive range would cover the entire world.
If such a situation were to occur, then when a weak world was being invaded by external demons, it might be able to survive under the protection of the seven shields.
But … if it covered the entire world, then the range of the sacrifice would also cover the entire world.
Even if not everyone would be sacrificed, the number of people who would be sacrificed would not be small. Maybe half of them would die. Maybe 70%.
Or 80%?
In short, the more cowhide the Sevenfold Shield was removed, the more terrifying it would be.
Because of this property, how could they lend it to others? If they lent it to others and removed many layers of cowhide, wouldn't they be digging their own grave?
Moreover, it wasn't just Harlan Wojia and the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom that didn't want it. Most of the races in the White Sun Mirror Region wanted it to stay in the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom forever after learning of its effects.
Because the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom was strong enough that no one dared to attack it. The Sevenfold Shield was basically useless in the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom.
But if it was used by a weaker race, it would be a different story.
After considering the Sevenfold Shield's effects and restrictions, he quietly calculated the Padt Coefficient in his mind. He entered the effect and possible consequences into the "server" in his mind space. It did not take long for him to come up with an approximate coefficient range of 40 to 70.
The range was a bit large, mainly because there was a huge gap between the Sevenfold Shield and the Sevenfold Shield's unsealing period.
Padt Coefficient did not represent strength, but if the Sevenfold Shield went out of order, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, only the Order Faction was able to find a way to make a Mystery item lose its order, and no one had succeeded. So, there was no need to worry too much.
"The Sevenfold Shield belongs to Master, but it's actually under the supervision of the entire Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom. You can't lend it out," Olessandro explained.
Angor nodded. "I understand. This Mystery item … is strong and scary. It's definitely the best choice in the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom. "
Olessandro smiled. "I'm glad you understand."
With that, Olessandro was about to change the topic and talk about other treasures that could be rented.
Before Olsandro could change the topic, an energy barrier suddenly appeared in the hall and covered both of them.
Olessandro and Quintera were startled. Before they could check what was going on, they heard Laplace's voice. "I have something to discuss with him. Please don't interrupt."
Olessandro and Quintera looked at each other and silently retreated to the side.
They also sensed that Laplace was the one who released the barrier. They did not know what was going on, but they did not dare to pry.
On the other side, Angor, who was pulled into the energy barrier, looked at Laplace in confusion.
At this moment, Laplace's brows were tightly furrowed and his eyebrows were lowered as if he was thinking about something.
After a long moment, Laplace looked up at Angor and said, "Lil 'Laplace just logged off and told me something …"
Little Laplace was referring to the rabbit girl. Laplace always called Angor by his first name, but he added "Xiao" to make it easier for Angor to distinguish between the two.
Angor's expression turned serious when he heard about the rabbit girl. The rabbit girl was the "receptionist" who received Kukulus and another guest in the Dream Crystal.
Now that the rabbit girl suddenly logged off and synchronized with Laplace's mind, something must have happened in the Dream Crystal.
"What is it?" Angor asked.
"Time Poison … appeared."
Time Poison? Who's that? Laplace quickly explained Angor's question.
Here's what happened.
Fifteen minutes ago.
At that time, Kukulus and Luskania logged into the Dream Crystal through the Dream Bridge.
Their destination was the underground cavern near Rabbit Town, which Angor had already prepared beforehand.
Angor didn't want to put the cavern in Rabbit Town because the rabbit girl happened to be hunting down one of the remaining Cleaners.
For the rabbit girl's convenience, Angor arranged for the dragon siblings to be born in the underground cavern.
As soon as Kukulus and Luskania entered the Dream Crystal, they saw a bright purple scorpion ten times bigger than them collapsing in front of them.
After dying, the giant scorpion turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared into thin air.
The rabbit girl stepped on the white mist and met up with Kukulus and Luskania.
They met for the first time.
The rabbit girl was actually quite shy. She didn't know how to talk to a stranger … a dragon.
While she was still hesitating about what to say, the two cave dragons had already begun to point at each other in shock … Especially the slightly smaller cave dragon, its eyes were actually filled with tears.
Before the rabbit girl could figure out what was going on, the smaller dragon rushed to the bigger one and hugged it tightly.
The rabbit girl thought she was in the middle of a fairytale. But after listening to the two dragons' explanation, she realized that she misunderstood.
It had been a long time since Luskania had moved in the form of a cave dragon. She had always appeared in the form of a puppet, but now, she had revealed her true form in the Dream Crystal Plain.
Even after controlling her body shape, she was still within three meters of Kukulus, which was completely different from her real body.
She could feel that her energy was almost frozen, and she couldn't use it at all. Her body didn't show any energy reaction either.
But this didn't affect her excitement.
The puppet's body felt completely different from her own. It had been a long time since she had felt the fusion of her soul and body. This sudden feeling of beauty made her feel so touched.
She almost shed tears of a young dragon girl.
After a period of calming down and with the rabbit girl's explanation, Luskania and Kukulus gradually understood their current state, as well as the general situation of the Dream Crystal.
Although the surroundings were empty and there wasn't anything interesting, and the rabbit girl had clearly said that the Dream Crystal was still in a state of being reclaimed.
But this couldn't dampen the flames of Luskania's passion.
It was rare for Luskania to be in such high spirits. While Kukulus was gratified, his impression of the Dream Crystal also started to improve.
Especially when the rabbit girl started to take them on a tour of the Dream Crystal. When they arrived at Rabbit Town, they saw a group of children playing happily.
The rabbit girl took advantage of the situation and said, "Apart from the natives, there are also some children from Charlie's Palace. They don't need to leave their homes to broaden their horizons in the Dream Crystal."
This was what Graepnir had taught the rabbit girl. It was mainly aimed at the pain point of the "Mirror Dragon Cub."
Sure enough, when the rabbit girl said this, Kukulus's gaze turned serious. He seemed to have thought of something.
Next, the rabbit girl talked about some stories about the Rabbit Mansion.
She also mentioned Jehanne.
Jehanne could be considered half a new resident. She had encountered the crisis of Mirror Extinction in the outside world and was severely injured. Although she didn't die, she was still heavily injured. She had been recuperating in Charlie's Palace for many years and had yet to fully recover. She was in a coma for 300 days a year.
Because the Mirror Domain had no dreams and Charlie XIII pitied her, he gave her a log-in device so that she could at least have a place to go when she was in a coma.
Now, Jehanne had already gained a foothold in the Dream Crystal and had even started to challenge the small treasure pagoda on Silver Coral Island.
Luskania deeply sympathized with Jehanne's experience.
Luskania seemed to see another version of herself in the world.
Because of this, Luskania was even more curious about the Dream Crystal. He also expressed to the rabbit girl that he wanted to see Jehanne.
The rabbit girl agreed and brought them to Silver Coral Island.
However, just as they were about to enter Silver Coral Island, Kukulus heard a native child pointing at them and saying, "Two more Dragon Dragons."
Kukulus was a little angry at being ridiculed by ordinary people. He wanted to pose as a Mirror Dragon, but before he could make a ferocious expression, Luskania spoke first.
"Kid, do you mean that you saw more than two dragons?"
The native children gathered together. A bold child walked forward and nodded to Luskania. "Yes, we also met a slightly fierce Dragon Dragon before. He also said that he was called … Barregon."
"We wanted to ask him to play with us, but he said that we were childish and left." At this point, the child pretended to be angry and put his hands on his waist. "How are we childish? We play hide-and-seek. Not only is it fun, but we can also explore the Rabbit Mansion!"
But at this moment …
Luskania and Kukulus no longer paid attention to the native child's words. They were all focused on that name.
Barregon?
Barregon!
Kukulus originally thought that Luigi was bluffing about meeting Barregon, but he didn't expect that not long after entering the Dream Crystal, they would receive news of Barregon!
Luskania was also very concerned about Barregon. She immediately bent down and looked at the child at the same level. "You mentioned Barregon just now. Do you still remember what he looks like?"
The native children nodded. "Of course I remember. He looks different from us."
The group of children began to describe Barregon's appearance.
And the characteristics of a hydra were too obvious!
Following their precise description, Kukulus and Luskania were finally certain that this Barregon was the Barregon!
After receiving news of Barregon, Luskania hesitated for a while before deciding to give up looking for Jehanne. Instead, she asked about Barregon's whereabouts.
