The first thing Luigi did after leaving Hundred Dragon Kingdom's outpost was to take out Pissy's contract and read it carefully.
"I'm right. Pissy is at Piluxiu's outpost." "Luigi made a noise.
Previously, when he was at the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation's outpost, his perception had been somewhat blocked. Luigi could only vaguely sense that Pi Xi should be on the upper level of the circular castle.
Luckily, Piluxiu's outpost was on the upper level.
Pissy was the minister in charge of economy, and he would never leave his outpost, which was why Luigi guessed that Pissy was here.
Now that they were back in the fortress, Luigi could tell that Pissy was on the 5,500th floor.
And this floor was where Piluxiu's outpost was located.
"Shall we go to Piluxiu's outpost now?" Angor looked at Luigi.
Luigi nodded without hesitation. He couldn't wait to slap the face of the customer service officer who blocked him!
Angor didn't mind. They needed to add more pages to the booklet anyway, so they had to go to Piluxiu's outpost.
However, when they reached the staircase and were about to go to the 5,500th floor, Luigi suddenly thought of something. "Wait, aren't you looking for an Ingit man called Sibolov? Can you sense his location now? " "Yes."
Angor nodded. "He's on the lower level. I don't know which one, but he should be below the 2,000th floor." "Yes."
He already checked Sibolov's location with his spirit feelers, but Sibolov was still too far away to pinpoint his exact location.
"Shall we go to Sibolov first?" Luigi asked after a moment of hesitation.
"No need. He's not in a hurry." "Alright."
He bought Sibolov's favor for Heart Fire. Heart Fire came from the Heart Fire Palace, which was located in the Ingit's homeland — the Ice Kingdom.
In other words, even if he found Sibolov now, he couldn't get Heart Fire right away.
Besides, it was hard to say if Sibolov's favor was enough to trade for Heart Fire. There was no need to rush. They could go later.
Compared to the unreachable Heart Flame, he was more interested in the things that could be removed right now, such as the Eye of Thunder, the Inventor Mouse, and the additional pages in the exhibition booklet.
"Let's go to Level 5500 and find Pilusu's station first. Then we'll see if we can go to Level 5000 to check out the booth or find Cypolov. Angor nodded.
After the previous exchange with Quintera, he now had a general understanding of the situation in the circular fort.
It was announced that the highest floor of the Ring-shaped Castle was 7,000 floors, but no one knew whether this was the actual number because the floors above 6,000 were not open to the public.
In other words, for this routine gathering, all the races would be placed below the 6000th level.
The most important booth for this gathering, which was also the center of communication between the various races, was arranged on the 5,000th floor.
To be precise, from the 4800th floor to the 5200th floor, they all belonged to the exhibition area. However, the central exhibition area was on the 5000th floor, and the other floors were the exchange areas for the major races.
Although there were a lot of floors, with the help of the stairs, they moved very quickly.
For example, it only took them a moment to jump from the 4000th floor to the 5500th floor.
Angor opened his eyes after a brief space distortion. If he wasn't mistaken, this was Pilusu's station.
As he thought about it, the energy inside the pavilion slowly formed an illusory number: "5480". "???" "??"
This was not the first time they jumped a floor. Every time they reached a new floor, an illusory number would show them the floor they were on. The number "5480" in front of them meant that they were currently on the 5480th floor.
"Huh? Why is it on this floor? I didn't make a mistake. " Luigi, who was operating the jump machine, was also puzzled.
"Wait.
I'll try again. " With that, Luigi prepared to jump to another floor. However, when he tried again, the number in the crystal pavilion remained the same and remained at 5,480th floor.
Luigi didn't want to give up and tried again. But this time, before he could do anything, he was stopped by a Crystal Eye Race guard.
"Sir, are you going to the 5500th floor?" At some point, a Crystal Eye Clan guard covered in a red crystal suit had arrived outside the crystal pavilion.
There were six or seven soldiers behind him, all of whom were looking at them.
As a "diplomatic envoy", Luigi stepped forward and answered, "Yes, I'm going to the 5500th floor. But … how did you know?" "Sir."
"Ever since the new page was added to the booklet, many people went to Pilusu's station. I saw at least several hundred people here." "Sir."
The guard paused and continued, "I think you're wondering why you're on this floor, aren't you?" "Sir."
Although it was a question, before Luigi could answer, the red-armored guard quickly answered.
There were too many people going to the 5500th floor in such a short time, which caused the floor to be overcrowded. Besides, every teleportation point in the pavilion was occupied by people. Those who wanted to go in couldn't leave, and those who wanted to leave couldn't leave either.
Under such circumstances, the Crystaleye race could only adjust the number of people.
When the teleportation point on the 5500th floor was full, the number of floors to be teleported was moved down to avoid a run on the teleportation point.
The reason why they were on the 5480th floor was the result of the adjustment.
As for the red-armored guards, they were arranged to be on this floor so that they could clear up the doubts of guests like them.
Therefore, when the guard in the red armor saw that Luigi kept trying to teleport but couldn't, he was sure that they were going to the 5500th floor.
After listening to the guard in the red armor, although Luigi understood the situation, he couldn't help but complain, "When the announcement was made, everyone said that they wouldn't add more pages to the booklet. They kept saying that they were overconfident, but when they did, they rushed faster than anyone else. "
The guard in the red armor smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
Luigi sighed. "Then how do we get to the 5500th floor now? We can only go after they've dispersed. " "
The guard pointed at a building beside a shop about a hundred meters away. "Let's try the stairs. Actually, the 20th floor isn't that high."
"By the way, my three guests, can you move aside? If you stand on the teleportation point, the others can't teleport. We have to move the floor further."
The guard in the red armor talked for a long time just to say this.
Apart from answering questions, their main purpose was to clear up the teleportation point.
Everyone: "…"
Half a minute later, they arrived at the winding staircase and prepared to climb the stairs.
While they were looking at the winding corridor, they already saw five or six groups of people coming and going. They were all teleported to this floor and were forced to climb the stairs.
Although their expressions were filled with dissatisfaction and indignation, it was just as the red-armored guard had said. The 20th floor wasn't that high.
"If I didn't want to break the rules, I'd fly up from the middle." Despite his angry words, Luigi still climbed the stairs obediently.
While climbing, Luigi whispered in Angor's ear, "I heard a passerby say that Priest White Mirror went to the teleportation point with them. But Priest White Mirror was teleported away, while they were teleported to this floor. Do you know what that means?" "…"
Angor already knew what Luigi was talking about.
The priests of Bu Luo Royal City were divided into four levels. The highest level was the Red Mirror Priest, the second level was the Black and White Mirror Priests, the third was the Gray Mirror Priest, and the lowest was the Mirror Attendant Priest.
Therefore, Priest White Mirror was one of the most powerful priests in the city. It also meant that Priest White Mirror belonged to the nobles.
Passersby and nobles were teleported together. The nobles were "arranged" while the passersby were not.
"Arranged." Obviously, there was an unfair treatment. This was what Luigi was complaining about.
But Angor didn't think it was a big deal. Priest White Mirror wasn't just a nobleman. He was also a powerful figure, so he should be treated well.
Someone as powerful as Marian wouldn't be allowed to climb the stairs slowly, would they? Of course, it would be arranged properly.
"… So you're trying to keep a low profile?" Angor considered for a moment before replying, "So you're trying to keep a low profile? "Huh?"
Luigi didn't know what Angor meant at first, but he quickly nodded. "You're right. I'm too low-key. If I was more famous, or did something big like Gleipnir, I wouldn't be teleported to this floor. "Alright."
Gleipnir was an Astrologer who once helped the Hundred Dragon Kingdom, so he was quite famous in the Daylight Mirror Region. If Gleipnir came with them this time, the mastermind behind the scenes would probably arrange everything for him as well.
As for Luigi, it wasn't that he wasn't famous. It was just that the way he became famous wasn't taken seriously. After all, art was considered a secret study in the Daylight Mirror Region. As for Laplace … he was even less famous than Luigi, so he wasn't taken seriously either.
Of course, regardless of whether it was Luigi or Laplace, their identities were not a secret in the core circle of the top races. Just like how Quintera had roughly guessed Laplace's identity when he first saw them, it could be seen from this.
However, it was too difficult for ordinary races to recognize them. At most, the overseers might know something about them, but that didn't mean they knew each other. Anyway, it was perfectly normal that they weren't "arranged".
"The 20th floor isn't far anyway. Let's do it. At least the Crystaleyes didn't block the way to climb the stairs. "
Angor didn't really care about the stairs. He was basically invisible in the Daylight Mirror Region, so he didn't have any self-respect or self-respect. Still, he understood Luigi's complaint.
Compared to Luigi, he was more curious about Laplace's thoughts. Would Laplace feel uncomfortable because she wasn't arranged? Angor looked at Laplace curiously.
Laplace's expression didn't change at all. He was still indifferent. However, her eyes were slightly lowered, which was different from usual. She seemed to be deep in thought.
Angor tried his best to hide his gaze, but Laplace still noticed it. Laplace looked up at Angor in confusion. "What's wrong?" "Cough."
Angor cleared his throat. "You're thinking about the stairs, aren't you?" "Cough.
"What's that about?" Laplace didn't understand, but she didn't ask. Instead, she shook her head calmly. "No. I'm just thinking about my main body."
"Main body?" "Huh?"
Luigi also looked at Laplace curiously. "What's going on? I didn't receive any information. " "Nothing."
Laplace: "It's nothing. I just came across a strange gadget. "Alright."
Laplace paused a little and looked at Angor. "You might be interested. "Huh?"
Angor was puzzled. "Huh?"
A gadget I'm interested in? And Laplace's main body found it? Did Laplace's main body find something from the Empty Mirror Sea?
Angor asked out of curiosity.
Laplace nodded. "That's right. It was discovered in the Empty Mirror Ocean. Half an hour ago, it rushed out of an ocean eye and happened to drift close to the main body. "Huh?"
Something from the Empty Mirror Sea, and it came out from the "Empty Mirror Sea". It had to be something from another world. Angor's curiosity was piqued. "What's that? "Huh?"
Laplace: "A painting." "Painting?"
"A painting?" The first thing that came to Angor's mind was … Feng, the Painter Wizard.
Feng used the Book of Kael to arrange everything for him in the Abyss Plane. Although Feng did compensate him in the end, Angor still felt a little stressed.
Whenever he heard about a "painting" or sensed a "coincidence", he couldn't help it.
He couldn't help thinking about the Painter Wizard. He had a feeling that Feng was going to do something bad again.
Now that Laplace said she found a painting, Angor couldn't help but recall the past.
Laplace also noticed Angor's change of mood. "What's wrong?" She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" Angor shook his head.
Angor remained silent for a second and shook his head. "Nothing. It's just that when I think about paintings, I remember some bad memories. "Okay.
"Let's talk about the painting. You said it's strange, right? What's so strange about it? " "Okay."
Laplace considered. "It's hard to describe. Do you want to see it with your own eyes?" "Okay."
"See it with my own eyes? What do you mean? "
"You mean we're going to look at the painting after the party?" "No."
Laplace shook her head. "No need. I can take you there now." "Huh?"
"Huh?" "Now? How? With the Mirror Corridor? "
Angor didn't understand.
"Not the Mirror Corridor. You can think of it as using an illusion to synchronize an environment." "Huh?"
"Holographic livestream?" "Huh?"
Laplace considered. "Something like that, but there's a difference. Do you want to try? " "Huh?"
Angor was curious to see what Laplace's livestream looked like.
With that in mind, Angor nodded without hesitation. "Alright." "Alright."
Laplace looked around. "We're still climbing the stairs. I'll take you there when we find a place to rest." "Alright."
