There shouldn't be any problems, right?
He carefully observed the box's movement with an uneasy heart.
The initial reaction of the box was almost the same. The rose pattern on the porcelain box began to emit a soft light. When the light spread into the air, it outlined the illusion of a creeping rose.
The illusionary images of the beautiful rose bloomed in the air above the secret instrument box.
It was as if a group of noble ladies in gorgeous new clothes were competing with each other at the prince's hot ball. They couldn't wait to show their most beautiful side.
Along with the blooming flowers, there was also a pleasant aroma.
At first, the fragrance of the flowers slowly turned into something sweet.
It was as if the beautiful noble ladies were leaving the stage one after another, and Cinderella, who was full of shyness, came back to the stage.
It wasn't as fragrant as before, but it was even more captivating, refreshing, and refreshing.
At this moment, even the charred smell that remained in the furnace seemed to have been washed away, leaving only a beautiful rhythm.
Everything seemed to be heading in the best direction.
The others, including Luigi, Pika, and Pew, were all looking at the box with longing.
Their gazes were blurred. It was as if they had already seen the incomparably resplendent delicacy that was about to be born.
However, Angor's expression was completely different from the rest of them.
He didn't relax at all. Instead, he was getting more and more nervous. Because the last time he was at the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation's outpost, it was the same. The initial reaction of the secret instrument chest was so wonderful, but once it reached the end … No, it didn't even need to reach the end. It took a sharp turn from the most beautiful to the most vicious.
The box's reaction was only the prelude. Everything would depend on the middle stage …
Laplace was also feeling the same way. As someone who witnessed the activation of the box last time, she knew that she couldn't just rely on the box's appearance.
The "perfect" appearance was just the process of activating the "Sweet Wind, Honey Fire, and Sugar Spreading" ritual.
Whether it would work or not depended on whether the ritual could reach the middle stage …
As Laplace thought about it, the "Sweet Wind, Honey Fire, and Sugar Spreading" ritual had already reached the middle stage.
Laplace was already on high alert. She was ready to throw a barrier around the box at any time.
Because it was at this time that something went wrong the last time.
However, this time, there was no stench or waterfall of black gas.
The ceremony smoothly entered the next round.
This time, not only did the illusion of a cluster of roses appear in the air, but there was also a thin layer of mist around the flowers. Not only that, dewdrops rolled on the delicate and beautiful petals.
The wind swayed, blowing the clouds into wisps.
The dewdrops were also swaying in the wind, sliding across the petals and dripping into the secret instrument box …
Everything in front of him seemed to be an illusion of nature, but in fact, the smoke carried the burnt smell of flour, the dew exuded the fragrance of milk, and even the wind carried a sweet fragrance.
Luigi took a deep breath. The fragrance in the air made him intoxicated. He even wanted to recite a poem.
However, when the words reached his throat, he couldn't think of any words to describe it.
In the end, they could only condense into one sentence: "Is this situation going to happen? "
Angor didn't say anything. Everything was going well, but this was only the middle stage. He didn't know if something bad would happen in the end.
Any confident words he said now might become a false flag behind his back. It was better not to say anything.
Laplace didn't say anything either. However, she felt a lot more relaxed now. The ritual inside the box was already in the middle stage, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?
It seemed that the problem with the box last time was really an accident.
Laplace finally relaxed. What she didn't know was that Angor's Creation Spell …
The Mana Bread had many bad records, and the victims, Toby and Greya, weren't here right now. So no one told on him.
Two more minutes passed.
When everything was going perfectly, even Angor believed that everything was going to be fine. However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the room.
The secret instrument box, which had been perfectly fine, suddenly made a "Ka Ka" sound.
Both Laplace and Angor became alarmed and looked at the box in confusion.
The cracking sounds continued, and the secret instrument box began to tremble slightly.
"What's going on?" Pika and Pew both took a step back out of instinct.
The inside of the secret instrument box was trembling, as if something was about to jump out of it. Or perhaps, something was wrong with the inside of the box and it was about to explode.
Luigi also looked at Angor in confusion. "My elemental clone told me that they didn't do anything wrong. What's going on? Is there something wrong with the box itself? Or … did we do something wrong? " "Okay."
Angor still didn't say anything. He only looked at Luigi helplessly.
As expected, there was something wrong again.
In the records of the secret instrument box that Parrot had given him, there were no such signs of trembling. Since it wasn't a common phenomenon, there was only one possibility — a mutation.
The stinky black gas last time was a mutation.
But this time, it could also be a mutation.
However, Angor believed that the box was only trembling during the "process" of the mutation. The "result" should still be inside the box.
Did something happen to the Mana Bread inside again?
Angor kept staring at the box with doubts in his mind. After a while, the box didn't stop trembling. Instead, it began to tremble at an even higher frequency.
The various roses in the air and the illusions shrouded in clouds and mist all turned into broken bubbles in this tremor.
The dreamlike space returned to reality.
However, the real world was always filled with bones and … foul odors.
When the box trembled to a certain point, a faint, dark-gray gas seeped out of the box.
Along with the gas was a putrid stench that made people want to throw up. It was like a gaseous weapon, instantly setting off huge waves on the calm surface of the lake, smashing the expectant crowd onto the shore.
Most of the people present were dumbfounded by this stink slap.
However, there were still two people who remained conscious. Angor and Laplace.
As soon as they noticed the box trembling, they quickly sealed off their sense of smell. As it turned out, they made the right choice.
Before the first wave of stench arrived, they didn't get knocked out by the sudden change.
Furthermore, they quickly responded to the situation.
He quickly used a Purification Field to contain the stench. Although he couldn't get rid of it right away, he could at least keep it inside the room and not let it spread out further.
Countless people were waiting outside Peluzzo's station. If the stench spread outside, it would be a serious problem. Angor would have to face the wrath of all the major races.
On the other side, Laplace also made his move. A mirror-like barrier also enveloped the secret instrument box.
It separated the box from the others.
All the dark-gray gas began to seep out of the sharp-edged mirror-like barrier. Like a gushing spring, it covered the entire surface of the secret instrument box in a short time.
However, this was all the black-gray gas could do. Because Laplace was prepared, this time the barrier was "thickened" without any gaps, and the black-gray gas was successfully blocked inside the barrier.
The gas was contained, and the stench didn't leak out either.
In terms of solving the problem, it was a happy ending.
The only victims were probably the others apart from Angor and Laplace.
Luigi, Sage Pika, and Pew were caught off guard by the stench. All of them were in a daze, their faces pale. Among them, Pika almost fainted. He collapsed on the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling.
"There's something else …" Laplace looked at Angor.
Angor avoided his gaze. "I'll take care of it." "Alright."
He only stopped the stench from leaking out. Now, he had to purify the inside. It was not difficult to deal with it. Whether it was using the purification force field or the exile space, it could quickly get rid of the stench.
Using the Space of Exile would remove the energy faster, but he still chose to use the Purification Field.
After all, Peluzzo's station wasn't a separate space like Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom. It was connected to the ring-shaped fortress outside, and the city spirit could sense what was going on here at any time.
If Angor used Exile Space like a trash can, it wouldn't attract the city spirit's attention. However, if Angor used Exile Space for a long time, the city spirit would definitely notice the intense spatial fluctuations.
Purification Field was much gentler, but it wouldn't remove the stench so quickly.
However, it didn't matter. Since everyone had smelled it, it wouldn't matter if they smelled it a little longer or a little less.
As the stench in the air was slowly removed, Luigi finally woke up and gave Angor a confused look. "W-what's going on?" "Alright."
"It's nothing. Maybe my spell failed. Gourmet spells are still too much for me." Angor had nothing else to say. "Well, it's not a big deal. Maybe my spell failed. Gourmet spells are too much for me. "Alright."
Laplace and Luigi didn't know what to say.
Luigi asked, "Are you sure it's a spell? "Alright."
"Cantrips are similar to spells." Angor shrugged. "I can't do anything about it." "Alright."
Angor paused and added, "Besides, it doesn't mean my spell failed. Don't forget, there's another possibility." "Alright."
Angor looked at Luigi. "Didn't Parrot say that accidents can happen to the box? Accidents mean … "
Angor tried to change the topic while explaining.
Luigi was also successfully led astray. "You mean … mutation? "Yes."
Angor nodded. "Yes, mutation." "Yes."
"But aren't mutations rare?" "Yes."
"Rare, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. And here they are, right? " Angor glanced at Laplace, who was standing beside him.
Luigi only experienced one mutation, so it wasn't a problem for Angor to fool him.
But Laplace already experienced two mutations in a row. Angor couldn't fool her this time.
Angor looked at Laplace to see how she would react.
Laplace glanced at Angor. "Are you going to try again?" "Alright."
Angor chuckled awkwardly. "Never mind. I'll cook something for you guys later, meow." "Alright."
Angor looked at Pika and Pew to make sure they were fine. Then, he decided to investigate why the box kept mutating.
But when he turned around and was about to ask Laplace for the secret instrument box, he saw that Laplace and Luigi were both looking at him with strange eyes.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Silence.
Several seconds later, Luigi broke the silence. "Do you remember what you said just now?" Angor frowned.
Angor frowned. "What did I say? I was talking about mutation. " Silence.
"No." Luigi waved a hand. "I'm not talking about mutation. I'm talking about you. Do you remember that strange noise you made just now?" "Huh?"
Angor pointed at himself in confusion. "I made some strange noises? Silence.
Angor tried to recall but didn't find anything wrong.
Suddenly, Laplace —
Plus raised his hand and waved it lightly.
A mirror appeared in front of Angor's eyes.
Angor's face was shown in the mirror.
At first, Angor was still looking at the pair of red ears. Compared to before, the pair of ears looked more solid now. Clearly, Laplace was making more food and activating the blessing effect. If he kept making food, the pair of ears would soon leave the illusion and become real again.
Soon, he noticed that the mirror was showing his own face, but not his current one. Instead, it was showing his previous self several seconds ago.
Angor was talking to Laplace with the pair of red ears. "… You can eat food anytime you want …"
Suddenly, Angor let out a "meow" at the end of his sentence.
In the mirror, Angor didn't notice his strange meow. He was still doing his work. Both Laplace and Luigi were surprised by Angor's "meow".
Angor was also shocked by what he saw.
Did he just meow himself?
"I'm sure it's you." "It's Laplace."
Angor might need to consider Luigi's words. But since Laplace spoke, Angor was certain.
"So I can turn into more than just cat ears … I can also turn into a voice?" Angor frowned. "But what's the point of that?" Laplace continued.
"The effect of a Mystery item doesn't always have to be meaningful." Laplace nodded.
"That's right. The Witch's Eye gave you Delicious Blessing. As a counterbalance, it will slowly turn you into a beast. Isn't that normal? Just like how Pilly's counterbalance is to make her lose her way. " "Okay.
You're right … "Angor muttered.
But he didn't see any Delicious Blessing.
Angor felt like crying. Not only did he not get the blessing, but he also got a debuff for nothing.
How was he supposed to reason with them?
