"Why would Ida ask Rita to leave Crystal City? Our previous guess was actually correct, because Ida predicted that the Force Tower might be in danger …
Before Glepnir could get to the main topic, he heard Guta 'lace's question in the Spirit Bond. "Levita? Isn't that the grandson of your 'good friend' Siluda? He's in danger in Crystal City? "
"Why would he need Ida, Siluda's servant, to warn him? Why didn't Siluda do it herself? Or is Siluda the source of Rita's danger? "
Guta's tone changed as soon as she mentioned Siluda. Even Angor, who didn't know much about it, noticed the jealousy in Guta 'lace's voice.
Gleipnir glared at Gutalys. "If you want to listen, then listen. If you don't want to listen, then break the Spirit Bond. Don't interrupt me. "
Guta shrugged. "I'm just asking what happened. Can't I do that? Besides, Siluda's an elder. Who dares to touch her grandson in Crystal City? "
Perhaps it was because Guttalys's tone was normal this time, or perhaps it was because Guttalys's stubbornness that gave Gleipnir a headache, but after pondering for a moment, Guttalys gave a simple explanation of the cause and effect.
"Siluda left Crystal City and didn't come back for a long time. We met Rita before the gathering started. He was near the city gate and seemed to be planning to leave. The reason was that his mother went to the snow mountain … But according to Rita's story, we realized that this wasn't a simple matter. Rita's departure was more likely instigated by Ida. "
"As Shiruda's loyal servant, she wouldn't have let Rita leave for no reason. There must be another reason behind this. "
Gutalys nodded in understanding. To put it bluntly, Gleipnir had discovered some signs that something was wrong, so he had started to follow this clue and uncover the story behind it.
Guta Lace replied, "I think I get it now. You want to find Ida and ask her why she hinted Rita to leave Crystal City? "
Gleipnir nodded. That was indeed the case. Back then, she had brought Rita to find Ida immediately.
Gutalys: "I bet you didn't find the answer from Ida. Even Ida only dared to hint at it … Moreover, there must be something fishy about Shiruda's departure, right? "
Gleipnir said, "You seem to care a lot about Siluda. I will talk about Siluda's situation later, so just keep listening … Don't interrupt me. "
After saying that, Gleipnir glared at Gutalys.
Guta 'lis nodded indifferently and didn't say anything else.
Gleipnir continued his story.
Originally, Gleipnir had planned to directly talk about the clues she had found in Siluda's study, but thinking that Guthalais did not know what had happened afterward, she decided to start from the beginning.
"When I brought Li Ta to find Ida, I discovered that there were crystal eye race guards following Li Ta in secret. "
"Not only that, but I can also sense that there seems to be a vague eye in the unknown void that is secretly watching Force Tower. "
"These two points are very unusual. Once again, I am certain that there is danger behind Force Tower. This danger is very likely to come from within the Crystal Eye Race, or even from the upper echelons of the race. "
Otherwise, who would dare to order the guards to follow Force Tower?
Also, the eye in the void is undoubtedly the spirit of the crystal city, the current giant city spirit!
"Fortunately, today is a gathering, and the giant city spirit's attention is focused more on the ring-shaped fortress. I shook off the guards, then used the Sinking Star to cover Force Tower, temporarily cutting off the eye behind Force Tower. "
"Then, I brought Force Tower to find Siluda's loyal servant, Ida. "
At Ida's place, Gleipnir, as Gutalys had guessed, encountered an obstacle. Ida did not admit to hinting at Force Tower at all.
However, although Ida said that she did not admit it, she was always holding a handwritten letter from Siluda when she was talking to Gleipnir.
Moreover, when Ida spoke, she kept using various angles.
Gleipnir showed the handwritten letter from several angles.
Gleipnir was not stupid. She immediately saw that Ida was unable to speak. If nothing unexpected happened, it must be the work of the upper echelons of the Crystal Eye Race. They must have issued a ban or signed a contract that made Ida not dare to mention the relevant secrets.
Perhaps Ida saw that Gleipnir had understood, so she placed the handwritten letter on the table.
Gleipnir quickly asked if she could read the letter.
Ida did not refuse. "This letter is just Lady Siluda's travel experience. There are no secrets in it. Granny Astrologer, you are Lady Siluda's best friend, so of course you can read it. "
Without hesitation, Gleipnir picked up the handwritten letter and began reading.
It was, indeed, as Enamda had said, the account of Siluda's travels. However, the theme of the book was very similar. It was about … rituals.
Rituals were not popular in the Mirror Realm. Very few mirror races would hold formal rituals.
However, many races would have their own unique, non-formal rituals.
Siluda was writing about such non-formal rituals that did not have specific effects. They were purely for the sake of "sacrifice".
After reading the entire letter, Gleipnir indeed could not find any secrets. His head was filled with all kinds of different, weird rituals.
The handwritten letter did not contain any code, so it was strange that Ida was hinting at her to read it.
Was it because of … rituals?
Angor and the others had not reached the outpost of Ring Fortress yet, so they did not start the live broadcast yet. Therefore, Gleipnir only hid the doubts that the letter brought to her in her heart for the time being and did not say it out loud.
When Gleipnir finished reading the letter, Ida said, "Ever since Lady Siluda left, I've been taking care of her study. I took this handwritten letter from Madam's study. "Alright."
Based on Gleipnir's understanding of Enamel, he knew that Enamel would never do anything unnecessary.
Moreover, when Ida mentioned the word "study," she clearly emphasized the word. She was clearly telling Gleipnir that there was a "secret" in Siluda's study.
Gleipnir did not miss such a clear hint. He asked to go to Siluda's study.
Since Ida wanted to let Gleipnir go to the study, she would not refuse.
Gleipnir then went to Siluda's study to look for more clues.
Ida did not say anything during the whole process, as if she was telling Gleipnir that she had no more clues, and that all the clues were in the study.
And it was true. Gleipnir found a "puzzle" in Siluda's study.
The so-called "jigsaw puzzle" was not a real jigsaw puzzle, but a hidden and unique method of communication.
Gleipnir didn't tell him what it was, but Angor guessed that it was something similar to "headless text" or "Morse code".
It did not seem like a big deal at first glance, but only those who knew how to read it would be able to understand its secrets.
And Gleipnir was one of those "people".
While looking for the "puzzles" scattered in different books in the study, Gleipnir began to decipher the hidden information contained in the puzzles.
Following the clues, Gleipnir soon found several secret stories left behind by Siluda in the study.
These secret stories were arranged in chronological order: "Tunita's Unwillingness", "Wonder", "Resonance of the Crystallized Corpse", "Elegy of the End of Youth", "Everlasting Friend", and "Resurrection".
"Tunita's Unwillingness" was a kind of unofficial history. It told the unknown story of Tunita, the Great Prophet of the Crystaleye Race from two thousand years ago.
This story did not have much to do with the "Tower of Strength Crisis", but it could be traced back to "Tunita's Unwillingness" as the source of all the tragedies of the Crystaleye Race.
Coincidentally, the beginning of this story told about a great being who lived in the Empty Mirror Sea.
This great being was Laplace's true form.
When Tunita was young, he came to the Empty Mirror Sea with a group of his peers in order to find the legendary Mirror Monster. Here, because of their ignorance and underestimation, Tunita encountered the greatest danger of his life.
Not only did Tunita fail to find the Mirror Monster, but all his friends also fell into the Empty Mirror Sea and turned into nothingness. Tunita was very lucky. He happened to be noticed by a great being who rescued him ashore.
During the few days he spent with this great being, Tunita was not only reborn, but also saw the scenes of the Boundless Plane through the Empty Mirror Sea. These scenes, in his opinion, belonged to the "scenery" of a higher level.
In the past, Tunita was still a frog at the bottom of a well. But after this experience, Tunita, the frog at the bottom of the well, leaped out of the well and saw a wider sky.
His scope of vision had expanded.
Tunita wanted to pursue this wider sky and see the scenery of the Boundless World.
And the premise of all this was strength and influence.
With this motivation, Tunita began to embark on this path of pursuit.
Later, Tunita did indeed realize his self-worth. From a Grand Scholar to an Elder, and from an Elder to a Prophet, it only took Tunita 200 years.
Becoming a Prophet meant that Tunita had a natural "influence". After that, Tunita began to focus all his attention on the pursuit of "strength". But what made Tunita feel helpless was that although his intelligence was enough to shock the world, his talent for cultivation was very ordinary.
For hundreds of years, he did not improve at all.
The lifespan of a Crystaleye was usually between 700 to 1000 years. Compared to humans, Crystaleyes were born with long lives.
Perhaps it was because they were born with a higher upper limit, but it was much more difficult to break it.
Here was a comparison.
The lifespan of an apprentice was usually 200 years. After becoming a wizard, their lifespan would be 500 years. If they continued to break through, their lifespan would be 1000 years.
For example, Angor's lifespan was already 500 years. This "500 years" did not mean that he could only live for 500 years. It meant that he could live for at least 500 years if there were no other risks. At most, if he used all kinds of methods, such as spells that could increase his lifespan, external objects that could increase his lifespan, and so on, he could live for thousands of years.
Therefore, once a human became a wizard, his lower limit was low, but his upper limit was very high.
Also, if he wanted to break through again, whether to become a truth-finder wizard or a level-2 wizard directly, his or her lifespan would be extended.
But this was not the case for Crystaleyes. Their upper limit was already locked. There were few ways to increase their lifespan before reaching Crystal level.
Tunita did not have talent for cultivation, nor did he invent a spell that could increase the lifespan of a Crystaleye. He tried everything, but still could not break through the shackles of Crystal Dust level. In the end, he could only extend his lifespan to 1000 years.
Filled with unwillingness, Tunita, the greatest prophet in the history of Crystaleyes, still died after 1000 years.
This was the story of "Tunita's Unwillingness".
In summary, Tunita saw something higher when he was young, which changed his life. However, due to the shackles of his lifespan, he could not pursue it. Thus, he died of unwillingness.
"Tunita's Unwillingness" was only the prelude, or the background. In this story, the truth of the "Tower of Strength" was still not revealed.
So, Gleipnir began to tell the second piece of the puzzle.
— — Spectacle.
The main character of the story was still the prophet, Tunita.
When Tunita only had 200 years left in his lifespan, he seemed to have accepted his fate. He no longer pursued life extension and began to build the Crystal Kingdom.
The first grand idea he made after accepting his fate was … to build the Crystal City.
Tunita wanted to build a huge castle that could allow all Crystaleyes to live in the same place.
According to Tunita himself, Crystaleyes could not be divided into different classes like other clans. If everyone lived in the same place, there would be no obvious class distinctions. Discrimination would not exist.
People would not fall on the frozen ground because of the cold.
At the same time, the entire Crystal City could condense richer aggregation energy, allowing all Crystaleyes to enjoy a long life.
Tunita's idea was extremely bold.
This was because there would be many difficulties if he wanted to build a castle that could accommodate all Crystaleyes. How many materials would he need? How big would the area be? How long would it take? Would the Mirror Space be stable for a long time?
Many people did not think that Tunita could succeed, but they really hoped that they could live in such a magnificent castle.
While everyone was in a dilemma, Tunita began to spend a lot of manpower and resources to build the Crystal City on the frozen ground.
There was no need to mention the hardships along the way.
In short, the Crystal City was built successfully in the end. It became famous in the White Sun Mirror Region. It could even be said that there was no other … Wonder Building!
The above was the content of "Wonder".
It sounded like an inspirational story about the construction of the Crystal City. However, after Gleipnir finished the story, she added a few more sentences.
"Previously, I didn't understand the use of Shiruda's travel information book that Enamda had been holding. However, after I finished reading the story of 'Wonder', I suddenly thought of something recorded in the travel information book. "
"During Shiruda's travels, she saw all kinds of rituals. She realized that most of the high-level rituals not only required the diversity of the ritual and the number of worshippers, but also the level of the ritual venue. "
The right time and people were already in place. Now, they needed the right place.
As for the site of the ceremony, the "ritual array" was secondary, the "sacrificial altar" was middle, and the "sacrificial altar" was top.
However, the best venue was not the large altar. It was the Wonder Building that countless people yearned for, the general trend, and even the love of the era.
