"Are you mocking me?" When Marian was sizing him up for the third time, Kukulus finally raised his cold eyes and looked at Marian in her red dress.
"Mocking you?" Marian raised her eyebrows. "Why do you think I would mock you?" "Hmph."
Kukulus sneered. "You've been sizing me up. Don't you know about Barregon and me and want to mock me?" "Hmph."
Marian didn't react at first. Only when Kukulus mentioned the name 'Barregon' did she come back to her senses.
Back then, Barregon left the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation because of his small size, and he couldn't stand the teasing and gazes of his companions. And Kukulus was once one of those who teased Barregon.
Kukulus had always been proud of his large size, but now he took the initiative to change into a small size. In the eyes of those who didn't know the inside story, this was slapping his own face.
So when Kukulus found that Marian had been sizing him up, he naturally thought she wanted to mock him.
After Marian understood, she couldn't help but laugh. "Even if I care about size, it's not your size. Don't be too sensitive. " "Hmph."
Kukulus' eyes flickered. He felt that Marian was implying something, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be a problem.
He shook his head and didn't continue thinking. Instead, he said coldly, "Then why are you still staring at me?" "Hmph."
Marian didn't answer. Instead, she asked, "I actually want to know. Since you're so sensitive to changes in size, why did you change into a small size?" "Hmph."
"What does it have to do with you?" Kukulus turned his head. He didn't look at Marian, but his voice was still cold. But in Marian's eyes, his cold voice wasn't cold. Instead, it was quite arrogant.
"Fine. If you don't want to say it, then forget it." Jasmine shrugged her shoulders and didn't continue to ask. Because from Kukulus' previous questioning, she guessed that the reason why Kukulus was willing to change his size and become a small size was most likely related to Barregon.
Was he preparing to reconcile with Barregon? So he rehearsed it in advance?
Marian had her guesses, but she didn't say them out loud. Instead, she returned to Kukulus' previous question. "Why do I keep staring at you? Don't you know it? " "Hmph."
Kukulus: "???" "Hmph."
Seeing the flash of doubt in Kukulus' eyes, Marian was also stunned.
She originally thought that Kukulus had purposely displayed his Shadow Force in order to attract her attention. Perhaps, the reason why he invited her over for tea this time was to ask her for guidance on shadow cultivation.
However, from the look in Cuculus' eyes, it didn't seem to have that intention.
So, was her judgment wrong? Misunderstanding?
Marian didn't understand, so she simply asked directly, "Why did you suddenly ask me to come over for tea? "
Cuculus: "Didn't I say it before? In order to welcome Sir Ea. "
Marian naturally knew about the impending arrival of the Arcane Book Dragon. Although she had asked Kukulus to find Grandpa Wan, she knew very well that Grandpa Wan wouldn't come for such a small matter. If Grandpa Wan did not come, then the only one left would be the Arcane Book Dragon Aiya.
"Just to welcome Ea? Marian looked at Kukulus, as if she wanted to find a deeper reason from between his brows.
Cuculus: "Of course. "
Hearing Cuculus' answer, Marian put down the teacup in her hand and said calmly, "If it's just to welcome Ea, then I won't stay here … I believe that Ea will handle the matter of Geta and the life feather seed properly." "
Cuculus: "You still don't dare to meet Ea?" Marian glanced at Cuculus. "Don't dare to meet him? No, I just don't want to meet him. " "
Cuculus knew that there was some tension between Marian and Ea.
Back then, Marian wanted Ea to come and settle the matter of Geta and the life feather seed, but when she sent the message, she didn't mention Ea at all and instead mentioned Grandpa Wan first. Knowing that Grandpa Wan wouldn't come, Cuculus would definitely look for Ea, who was second in line, under such circumstances.
The reason he was beating around the bush was because Marian and Ea were at odds with each other.
However, Cuculus wasn't curious about their conflict at all, nor did he care. He naturally had his reasons for inviting Marian here.
Seeing that Marian had already gotten up and was about to leave at any time, Cuculus said, "I naturally have my reasons for asking you to come and meet Ea together. Don't worry, I don't care about the conflicts and twists and turns between the two of you. " "
Marian: "Isn't it just about the singer and the Yusen clan?" Cuculus shook his head. "No, the matter of Geta and the Yusen clan is indeed very important. But compared to them, I feel that this matter is more important and requires us to discuss it together. " "
"This matter?" Marian was stunned for a moment. "What matter are you talking about?" Cuculus didn't answer. Instead, he raised his dragon claw, which was shrouded in gray mist, and pointed at the mirror screen.
At this moment, on the mirror screen, Gleipnir was standing in the center, holding an exquisitely made monocle in his hand and saying its name — Logger.
Marian didn't expect that the "important matter" Cuculus thought of was referring to the Dream Mirror that Gleipnir represented.
Marian listened for two minutes in a daze. She could roughly understand what Gleipnir meant.
As long as the logger was activated, one could enter a world called the "Dream Crystal Plain."
Although Gleipnir used beautiful rhetoric to describe it, the key words were probably a virtual world that relied on the "power of dreams."
Dreams becoming a world sounded beautiful, but dreaming was actually very far away from the living beings in the White Sun Mirror Region.
Moreover, Marian had actually dreamed before. She didn't think that dreaming was a meaningful thing. Even if the White Sun Mirror Region didn't have dreams, didn't it still continue for thousands of years without any changes?
Wasn't the logger that Gleipnir brought, in a sense, to allow the people of the White Sun Mirror Region to dream again?
What was the value of this? Why did Cuculus think that this was a very important matter? Marian was full of confusion.
"Is this logger worth you specially calling me over and even preparing to let Ea participate in the discussion?" Marian looked at Kukulus in confusion.
Cuculus: "Why isn't it worth it? Didn't your original body recommend it before it came down? " Cuculus:
Marian grumbled. "It's just a word of recommendation. It doesn't affect me much. But I can do Gleipnir a favor. It's not a bad deal. Cuculus:
Before helping Gleipnir, Marian didn't know what Gleipnir's logger was.
Kukulus: "Then the favor you're selling is very valuable … In my opinion, the most valuable thing in this display is this login device. Cuculus:
Cuculus then looked at Marian. "If Grandpa Wan has time, I hope he can come and witness the logger as well. Cuculus:
Kukulus's words were powerful and resonant.
If Luigi was here, he would probably curse out loud. This was because Kukulus didn't express such a stance when he faced the Login Device previously.
Everything changed because of "assimilation".
And even Luigi and Angor didn't know about this. After hearing Cuculus' words, Marian still didn't understand the value of the logger. However, she sat down again and prepared to listen to Cuculus' explanation.
She knew Cuculus well enough to know that he wouldn't make such a claim without thinking. He even mentioned Grandpa Wan.
Marian asked in a soft voice, "What's the reason?" Cuculus asked.
Cuculus: "The reason is that … I've experienced the logger." "You've experienced it?" Marian subconsciously raised her head and looked near Kukulus' eyes.
Because Gleipnir had introduced a monocle on the display platform, Marian naturally thought that Kukulus would also get a monocle if he obtained the login device in advance.
Cuculus also noticed Marian's gaze. However, he didn't want to force King Ding to look at it.
After all, Luigi didn't give him a monocle. It was … a pair of flower earrings.
Cuculus felt a little annoyed when he thought about this.
He also felt a little annoyed. Still, it was a free gift anyway, so Cuculus didn't care about it. Only his sister knew about it anyway, so it didn't matter if she didn't tell anyone.
Cuculus: "Yes. In my short experience, the logger gave me a lot of surprises." ]
"For example?" Marian looked up and waited for Cuculus' explanation. Cuculus: "For example, it can allow everyone in the White Sun Mirror Domain to enter the same Dream Crystallization regardless of distance. ]
"In other words, people who are far away in the real world can meet and talk in the Dream Crystallization. ]
It turned a long-distance communication into a face-to-face conversation. Marian nodded. "If the logger has such an ability, then it's worth talking about. But if it's just communication, it shouldn't shock you, right? " ]
Cuculus didn't answer. Instead, he continued with his second reason. "The Dream Crystallization can allow one's consciousness to live forever. ]
Even if the soul was about to die and the true spirit fell into the abyss, as long as one's consciousness was still there, one could survive in the Dream Crystallization. One could even transform into a native of the Dream Crystallization in the form of a body of consciousness, achieving "another life."
Hearing this, Marian immediately realized something. "Luskania? ]
Cuculus was silent for a moment and nodded. "Yes, it can also allow a life that is seriously injured and has to go into hibernation to have an independent consciousness in the Dream Crystallization. ]
Marian: "This reason … I understand and accept it." "Marian knew very well how much Cuculus doted on his sister, Luskania. In the past, Luskania could only sleep silently to heal her injuries. But now, with the Dream Crystallization, she could become healthy and lively in another world through her sleep.
This was absolutely an irresistible temptation for Cuculus. Moreover, according to Cuculus' explanation, the Dream Crystallization could also allow the deceased to live forever in a new way at the cost of transforming them into natives. This was also a very powerful effect.
From a long-term perspective, the ability to "live forever" was even more powerful than the Geta and the Life Feathered Seed.
When one couldn't see death, they would feel that death was far away. But when one was really about to die, one would understand the impermanence of fate.
When one was about to die, if they had the chance to live again, Marian believed that even if they had to give up everything they had in the past, there would probably be countless people willing to pay for it.
This was the value of "being reborn."
However, although Marian understood the value of being reborn, it would probably be very difficult for Grandpa Wan to treat her differently just based on this matter alone.
"Are there any other reasons?" Marian asked. Cuculus nodded heavily. "Yes." ]
He was very clear about Marian's current thoughts. These two reasons weren't enough to truly shock Marian.
This was just like how it had entered the Dream Crystallization and also experienced a new life. But Cuculus still didn't feel shocked.
It was also because of this that it had bargained with Luigi, and in the end, it had caused Luigi to directly turn and leave.
Until Quintera discovered that it had unconsciously entered the state of "assimilation."
Cuculus was shocked to discover that the Dream Crystallization wasn't just an illusory world of dreams and consciousness, it could also affect reality in turn.
It had to be known that the "assimilation" information it had obtained was only a portion of the information it had obtained when it first encountered the Black Nightshade.
Just by relying on this portion of the "assimilation" information, it had unconsciously unleashed the Black Nightshade's bloodline talent. Although the effect was very weak, what if it obtained more "assimilation" information?
If it passed the Black Nightshade's test, would it be able to obtain the complete "assimilation" information?
At that time, would it be able to directly reproduce the Black Nightshade's bloodline ability in its real body?
And the Black Nightshade's challenge was only a statue in the Misty Island's dragon tomb. In the endless fog, who knew how many other dragon-related statues were hidden.
If every statue could give it a special ability, what kind of concept would that be?
According to Luigi's introduction, the Misty Island's dragon tomb was only a spawn of the Dream Crystallization.
It was a fairyland dungeon, and there were many similar fairyland dungeons. If these fairyland dungeons could bring rewards, it would be excellent news for Cuculus and the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom.
It was because of this that Cuculus suddenly changed its attitude. Originally, it didn't care too much about the log-in device, but now, it was even willing to drag Marian along and wait for the Mystery Book Dragon to arrive to discuss the log-in device.
Marian had also finished listening to Kukulus' explanation of the last reason. She hesitated for a moment, then raised her white finger and pointed at Kukulus' feet. "So, the reason you suddenly grasped the power of the shadows is also because of this' assimilation 'ability? "
Cuculus lowered its head and looked at the fog beside its feet.
It was also at this time that it suddenly noticed that its shadow had indeed become very faint.
Cuculus closed its eyes and sensed for a moment. After a while, it opened its eyes and said in a daze, "It is indeed assimilation … I've been learning assimilation before, wanting to conquer the Black Nightshade's challenge …"
"Unknowingly, a portion of the assimilation information has already fused into my instincts …"
