After learning that he could not use the black mist again, Olessandro looked as if he was shrouded in darkness.
Quintera wanted to comfort him, but it did not know what to say. It had never tasted the tainted Blue Grace before. Who knew what it tasted like? Even if it tasted good, Quintera did not feel anything when it thought about how it had to pay for the foul black mist.
It could not sympathize, understand, or comfort Olessandro.
However, Angor, the one who started all of this, now found Olessandro much more pleasing to the eye due to his newfound confidence in food. Seeing how sad Olessandro was about not being able to drink his wine, Angor thought for a moment and came up with a solution.
"I can't use the box, but the water around the temple is slightly polluted …" Angor was going to say "polluted", but he changed his mind. "I mean, the water around here is contaminated as well. Water is alive, and it'll settle down in no time even if we don't clean it up.
Olessandro was still a little dazed. But after hearing Angor's words, he regained his focus and stood up abruptly. "You're right! It can melt into water! And we don't need to go outside. There's a fountain right next door! "Cough."
Angor cleared his throat and raised a hand. "… I've cleaned the fountain. It's gone." "Cough."
…
Olessandro left the temple on his crystal page to search for the "tainted" water.
Quintera wanted to stay in the temple, but when it saw Laplace's disdainful look, it hesitated and left with Olessandro.
After they left, Laplace looked at Angor and said, "Luigi sent a message." "Yes."
Actually, Angor already knew. He already sensed that Marcus had logged off not long ago.
"What was the test of the statue that Cuculus went through? Angor asked curiously.
Laplace: "Just as you guessed, it's a test of comprehension. "Yes."
Next, Laplace told Angor about Luigi's information in detail.
The first statue Koulus encountered was a Black Nightshade. When it entered the trial, its body was left on the island while its consciousness was pulled into a "memory fragment" created by Koulus.
In this space, Kukulus turned into a newborn black nightshade.
Around it was a strange, jagged stone forest.
The sky was overcast, and it was impossible to tell if it was day or night. It could only barely provide some illumination.
Through the thin visibility, Kukulus, who had transformed into a Black Nightshade, could see that the ground around him was covered in gray debris. Many of the rocks had claw marks on them, as if ferocious beasts would appear in the stone forest.
Just as Kukulus was wondering where he was, a notification came from Wonderland.
"'Black Nightshade, Ye Flan's test has begun. "
[Background Story: Ye Flan's birth was an accident. As a Black Nightshade, it should have been born in a dense forest, a deep swamp, or a demon lord's garden. As long as there are plants, it could be its birthplace. However, something unexpected happened. When Ye Flan regained her consciousness, she discovered that she was no longer in any forest. Instead, she was in a dry stone forest that stretched for several hundred kilometers. She was the only 'plant' in this huge stone forest.
Ye Flan didn't have time to feel sorry for her accidental birth, because she discovered that there was a powerful monster living in this stone forest — Devil Hero Dao Qiong. The bloodline ripple that the Black Nightshade unconsciously released when it was born has attracted the attention of this gluttonous monster. It's approaching you step by step … "
[Mission Summary: Ye Flan knows that as a newborn, she can't be compared to Devil Hero Dao Qiong. Once she's discovered, she'll be eaten. Now, there's only one way to survive. Before Devil Hero Dao Qiong arrives, she has to comprehend the talent recorded deep in the Black Nightshade's bloodline — Assimilation. "
[Mission Objective: Challenger No. 2, you will become Ye Flan and try your best to comprehend the Assimilation talent in the limited time you have to avoid death. "
[Mission Reward: Wonderland Skill, Assimilation. "
[Number of remaining challenges: 3/3]
The long string of notifications could be understood as: Kukulus had transmigrated into the newborn Ye Flan, and he had to comprehend Ye Flan's talent ability before he was eaten by Devil Hero Dao Qiong.
Only by comprehending the talent and avoiding death could Kukulus pass the test.
Kukulus only had three chances.
If he succeeded, he would not only receive the skill reward from Wonderland, but he would also be allowed to stay on Misty Island and explore the dragon's tomb. If he failed, he would be banished from Misty Island and could never return.
In short, he had to learn the skill while in danger.
It sounded simple, but in reality, it was very difficult.
First of all, Kukulus was a Cave Dragon, a Mirror Dragon. How could he learn the bloodline talent of an Abyss Dragon like Black Nightshade?
At least, Angor couldn't imagine it. This wasn't about learning something beyond one's level, but something beyond one's energy system.
Second, Kukulus only had three chances. Was three attempts really enough to fully comprehend a talent that could cross races, bloodlines, and energy systems? Not in Angor's opinion.
Third, he didn't have enough time. When Kukulus entered Ye Flan's memory, Devil Hero Dao Qiong already noticed the strange aura in the stone forest and began to patrol it.
A newborn Black Nightshade couldn't move, which meant it couldn't dodge. It was just a sitting duck.
The stone forest seemed to cover hundreds of kilometers, which was quite large. However, for a mature monster like Devil Hero Dao Qiong, who could reach the level of a wizard, it wouldn't take much time to patrol the entire place.
It might even take less than half a day to complete the inspection in a few hours.
In other words, Kukulus only had a few hours to learn the "assimilation" talent.
Even if all three challenges were taken into account, Kukulus still wouldn't take more than one day.
Using only one day to learn the "assimilation" talent was too difficult.
Angor even believed that Tomorrow Town and Uriel's challenges were nothing compared to this. And this wasn't the final challenge of Misty Island Dragon's Tomb. It was only the first step.
Angor couldn't imagine how difficult the rest of the trials would be.
Angor sighed and told Laplace his thoughts.
Laplace shook his head. "You overestimated the difficulty. It's actually not that hard." "Huh?"
Angor was puzzled. "It's not hard?"
"It's simple. The Black Nightshade statue on Misty Island isn't a newborn Black Nightshade. In other words, the real Black Nightshade Ye Flan already got through this difficult stage in her life. "Huh?"
"As for the newborn Black Nightshade, even if it has some intelligence, it won't be very intelligent. It can still learn the "assimilation" talent with such low intelligence, which means it's not that difficult. "Huh?"
Even the ignorant Ye Flan was able to comprehend the Assimilation talent in a desperate situation. Kukulus already had the intelligence of an adult dragon. It would be much easier for him to learn the talent.
As for the "cross-energy system" that Angor was worried about, Laplace didn't think so.
The wonderland dungeon wasn't a real copy of reality, and the so-called power was far from the real law.
The energy laws of the Dream Crystal weren't complete yet, so how could there be a perfect Abyss energy system?
Since the test was to learn "assimilation", it shouldn't be that complicated. Angor could learn it through his bloodline memories and bloodline inertia.
"Is it really that easy?" Angor still didn't believe it.
Laplace: "Whether it's simple or not, we'll know by asking Luigi about Cuculus' completion rate. "Alright."
After Laplace finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and continued to communicate with Luigi.
About half a minute later, Laplace looked up and said, "Kukulus' completion rate for the first challenge is 31%. "
According to the progress of the test …
A completion rate of 80% should be considered "assimilation", while Kukulus' completion rate was close to 50%. This meant the test wasn't as difficult as Angor thought.
As long as Kukulus' mind didn't slip and didn't fail, he should have a good chance to complete all three challenges.
However, Angor was right about one thing. It was not too difficult, but as the first trial of the Misty Island Dragon Tomb, it was already very difficult.
One had to know that the Misty Island was quite big, and there were countless statues inside.
The further they went, the harder the test would be. Angor believed that it was still a distant dream to clear the entire Misty Island Dragon's Tomb.
But he would have to worry about the future.
For now, Angor sighed in relief. The so-called consciousness space didn't seem to be too dangerous, so he didn't have to worry about Kukulus and Barbalegon getting killed in there.
"So, what is Nightshade's assimilation talent?" Angor finally had a chance to talk about something he had neglected. "So, what is Nightshade's assimilation talent? "Laplace.
"You can think of it as a special concealment ability. It allows the Nightshade to blend into its surroundings and even its aura." "Yes."
The Nightshade was a special monster in the Abyss Plane. A mature Nightshade was extremely powerful in melee combat, while its long-range combat ability was close to zero.
On the other hand, the Black Nightshade fed on dragons. If it wanted to attract dragons to it, not only would it need a special method to do so, it would also need to have the ability to conceal its presence.
The method was simple: use your bloodline aura to attract a dragon. Most dragons were simple-minded, and this method worked perfectly.
As for hiding one's aura, it was one of the Nightshade's innate abilities, or the ability inherited from its bloodline — assimilation.
There was only one way to assimilate into the environment.
Once assimilated with the environment, it would become an excellent concealment skill. Even some dragons or Abyss Dragons might not be able to detect the Nightshade's presence.
It could be said that the assimilation ability was not necessarily the strongest ability of the Black Nightshade, but it was definitely an ability that every Black Nightshade had.
"The Nightshade statue's reward is Assimilation …" Angor muttered. "If it's the same as in real life, it's going to be awesome." "…"
Many puzzle-solving or combat-type quests, especially those fairyland quests that required beheading, would be much easier if they had the ability to conceal themselves.
With Assimilation, he could clear many other combat quests in one go.
Unfortunately, he could only get this ability from the Nightshade statue. The Nightshade statue was located in the Misty Island Dragon's Graveyard, which had strict entry requirements. Otherwise, Angor could train a team of assassins with Assimilation and clear the dungeons easily. When the time came, the fairyland items could also be distributed. As long as the items in the fairyland could be distributed, an energy system would be established.
But he could only dream about it.
Laplace: [Assimilation is suitable for some fairyland quests. However, compared to the compatibility of the assimilation ability with the Immortal Land instance dungeon, I am more concerned about … … the fact that the Immortal Land instance dungeon can directly reward abilities. ]
The quests rewarded in the previous quests could be divided into three categories: physical objects, pets, titles, and Constitution.
Most of them were physical objects, such as a costume, a whip, and even a building such as a detective agency. These were the most direct rewards.
The number of titles was next. They were not as good as physical objects, but titles could give you an "identity", which seemed to be universal in the fairyland, so it was a good reward.
Pets and Constitution were the least.
The only pet that appeared in the fairyland was Gleipnir's reward: a black tiger … or a black cat.
As for the Constitution reward, the only one that Laplace had received was Helen's imaginary Constitution.
From the distribution of rewards, it was basically an external force, not an ability.
Even if some fairyland items had special abilities, they were still the same.
They came with the item, not the owner.
Now, the Nightshade's test directly rewarded the "Assimilation" ability. This was the first time.
The reason why Laplace cared was because this was an ability that was directly given to him. It was not an external force, but an internalized ability.
Once the internalized ability landed, there would be many questions worth paying attention to. For example, this ability, did you have the right to use it or did you have absolute control?
If it was the latter, did it mean that the "Assimilation" could become knowledge, enter your mind, and become your personal foundation?
Also, if the "Assimilation" was knowledge, could it be learned in the real world and used in the real world?
If it could not be used in the real world, was this ability exclusive to the Dream Crystal?
What kind of energy system would this exclusive system be? Could it be used as a reference?
In other words, the reward of an "Assimilation" ability would lead to a lot of future events. Besides, different answers would lead to different endings in the fairyland.
Laplace's words reminded him of the same thing. He considered for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Do you think the" Assimilation "ability can affect the real world? "
Laplace considered for two seconds and shook his head. "I don't think so. Even if it landed in the form of knowledge, it might not be something that can be used in the real world. If it can really affect the real world, then all the Mirror Realm creatures will go crazy for the Dream Crystal. "
Angor did not comment on Laplace's answer.
However, the answer in his mind was completely different from Laplace's.
After learning that Uriel's real body would enter the fairyland, Angor believed that the Dream Crystal might actually intersect with the real world.
If it did … even if it was only knowledge, it would prove the value of the Dream Crystal.
As for whether it was true or not, Angor would only know when the "Assimilation" landed.
