The bashful look in his eyes only lasted for a moment. Soon, Kukulus restrained the emotions in his eyes and gently nodded to them. "Welcome, both of you. Lady Glypnir and Lord Ea have been waiting inside for a long time."
Although he was bowing to them, Cuculus' gaze was more focused on Laplace.
"Lead the way," Laplace said.
Kukulus nodded. He first gave Quintera a look, then turned and walked toward the door.
"I'll be on my way." Quintera bowed to them again and said to Angor, "I'll have Alessandro bring you a sample of the crystal shell you requested, sir."
With that, Quintera flapped its wings and flew down the ladder.
After Quintera left, Laplace and Angor followed Kukulus into the cloud cave.
"Where's Luigi?" Kukulus' voice came from the front.
"Sleeping," Laplace answered.
Kukulus pondered for a long time before asking hesitantly, "Did you go to the Dream Crystal Plain?" There was no explanation or superfluous explanation.
Laplace nodded without saying anything. He didn't care if Kukulus saw him or not.
Kukulus didn't look back, but he didn't ask any more questions. He must have sensed Laplace's answer. Kukulus didn't know how to communicate with Laplace.
Laplace's identity was too special … It was necessary to maintain respect, but it was impossible for Kukulus to completely swallow his pride and compliment him like Olessandro.
Besides, Laplace's attitude wasn't friendly at all. Even the warmest greeting would get a cold shoulder.
At this moment, Kukulus was thinking about Luigi ….
Luigi was most likely Laplace's incarnation, but Luigi's personality was completely different from Laplace's.
Unfortunately, Luigi went to the Dream Crystal.
Fortunately, there were no complicated passages inside the cloud cave. They could reach the large space behind the cave.
At this moment, a few figures had already appeared in the huge cloud cave.
Moreover, it was worth mentioning that although the gray fog covered half of their appearance, from the silhouette of these figures, without exception, were all humanoid.
The only one who looked like a dragon was Kukulus.
As they got closer, the gray mist around them began to recede, allowing them to see the cloud cave more clearly.
The environment of the cloud cave … how should he put it?
There was nothing worth mentioning. Other than the fact that the place was spacious, there were basically no man-made objects that could be seen.
The only thing that was slightly "artificial" was a long table in the middle of the cloud cave.
The people he saw earlier were all gathered around the table.
"You guys … are here." A familiar voice sounded in the Spirit Bond.
Without a doubt, the one who spoke was Glypnir. As they got closer, the Spirit Bond that had been broken was reconnected.
Glypnir was sitting in a corner of the long table. There were several empty seats beside him, which were obviously reserved for Angor and Laplace.
He nodded at Glypnir from afar and followed Laplace.
As he got closer, he saw other people around the table.
A total of six people.
Glypnir was sitting on the same side as him, but he was not sitting on a chair. Instead, there was a six-meter-tall crystal man who looked like a Transformer.
However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that the so-called "Transformer" was nothing more than a crystal shell. Hidden within this gigantic crystal shell was a hunchbacked figure that was no more than 1.5 meters tall.
It was a Crystaleye Race clansman wearing a cloak. From the shadow of the cloak, Angor could see that he was a skinny old man with wrinkled skin.
The reason why the old man of the Crystal Eye Clan didn't sit in front of the long table was that there were more complete facilities inside the crystal shell of the giant.
Inside the crystal shell, Angor saw a soft sofa, a crystal-clear round table, as well as steaming hot tea and colorful fruits.
This kind of treatment was much better than the long table outside, which was empty except for a few teacups.
Angor did not know who the old man was, but he was sure that he was an elder of the Crystaleye Race.
Behind this gigantic crystal shell, there were two human-shaped crystal shells floating in mid-air. Inside each of them was a member of the crystal eye race.
Maybe they were the bodyguards of the elder?
"The old man in the biggest shell is the Grand Elder of the Crystaleye Race's Council of Elders, Jota." Perhaps Angor's gaze was too obvious, even Glypnir noticed it and introduced them through their Spirit Bond.
"At the same time, Jota is the current Prophet of Crystaleye Race," Glypnir said, "In terms of status, he has the most authority in the Crystaleye Race."
In other words, Jota was the ruler of a country.
There was nothing more to it than the extravagance and extravagance of the interior of the crystal shell.
As for the two Crystaleye Race clansmen behind Jota, Glypnir said that one of them was Mercida, and the other was Bitterwoods Tower, both members of the Crystaleye Race's Council of Elders.
But don't mind them. They are only qualified to attend the meeting, not to speak. That was what Glypnir said.
Despite that, he still nodded at the three Crystal-Eye Elders in greeting.
The three elders also nodded at him. However, just like Kukulus, they were mostly looking at Laplace.
While observing, Laplace thought.
After greeting the Crystaleye Race clansmen, Angor looked at the other side of the long table, which was also the focus of the meeting.
There were three people standing there. To be more precise, there were two people and a dragon. One of the "dragons" was Kukulus. After leading Angor and the others into the Cloud Cave, it went to the other side of the long table.
In terms of position, Cuculus was still sitting at the corner of the long table, which meant that his status was even lower than the two "people" beside him.
One of them was an elegant lady about two meters tall who was sipping hot tea.
She was wearing a long white dress, which had some unknown flickering light spots on it, like a group of floating fireflies.
With her hair tied up in a high bun and her beautiful face, she looked like an upper-class lady who often attended tea parties.
As soon as Angor saw her, a name popped up in his mind — Marian!
Angor already saw Marian on the main stage.
On the stage, Marian looked like the Queen of Darkness. She was wearing a black feather cloak, a pair of crow feather heels, and a black lace dress with multiple layers of tulle. Her purple-black lip gloss, cold eyebrows, and heavy makeup made her look even sharper.
After leaving the stage, Marian seemed to have put away her "Queen of Darkness" aura and turned into a graceful dodder flower.
Was this a contrasting character design created by Marian?
Angor looked at her curiously. Marian noticed his curiosity and chuckled. "You're Angor, right?"
Angor nodded.
"I heard about you from Glaipnir. You're one of the main creators of Dream Mirror. More importantly, you're also a human. This is a pleasant surprise. Perhaps you've heard of me before. I'm Marian's real body, but I also inherited her preference for humans. "
Marian's voice was soft, but there was something magical about it that attracted Angor's attention.
She was only greeting Angor, but her words seemed to have pointed out Angor's biggest question.
Character design? No. The Marian on the stage was completely different from the one on the stage.
The one on the stage was her real body, while the one in the cloud cave was her real body.
This was also why their outfits and auras gave off a completely different feeling.
Marian did not say anything else. She greeted Angor and nodded to Laplace before continuing to enjoy her hot tea.
He then looked at the last person at the table, who was also the one sitting at the head of the table.
Angor saw this person as soon as he entered the cloud cave. But for some reason, Angor kept looking around. He never really looked at the man.
Was it because of his aura? No. The man on the main seat did not give off any aura.
Or was it because his appearance was too strange to look at? No. He was not ugly. In fact, he was quite handsome. Combined with his gold-chained glasses, he gave off a scholarly feeling.
Angor could only say that this man gave off a strange feeling. Sometimes, he had a strong sense of presence, but other times, he would be ignored subconsciously.
His presence fluctuated, which made Angor unable to capture his aura.
"Hello, nice to meet you. You can call me Ea." The man stood up and bowed to Angor with a smile.
His actions puzzled the three elders of the Crystal Eye Race.
Even Kukulus and Marian, who were beside him, were somewhat surprised.
The reason was that he wasn't doing this to Laplace, but to Angor.
Angor was only a human. Even if he was the "creator of Dream Mirror Grass", he did not deserve to be bowed to by the great Mystery Book Dragon.
Yes, this man with glasses and a scholarly aura was the Mystery Book Dragon who showed up on the main stage.
However, the Secret Tome Dragon had now retracted its enormous dragon body and turned into a thin man.
Angor did not know why the Mystery Book Dragon suddenly became so serious. But as the Mystery Book Dragon spoke, Angor suddenly felt that his presence was gone.
It was as if the Mystery Book Dragon had returned to reality from an unknown dimension. He no longer gave Angor the same feeling as the others.
Since the Mystery Book Dragon was acting like this, Angor did not want to be careless. He also introduced himself in a serious manner.
Ea considered and smiled. "It may be my pleasure to meet you."
Ea's words attracted everyone's attention again, but no one dared to ask.
Instead of explaining, Ea looked at Laplace who came with Angor.
Earlier, the Crystaleye elders were wondering why Ia was treating Angor and not Laplace so politely. But now, Ia gave them an answer.
He did treat Angor with respect, but he treated Laplace with even more respect. Or rather … respect.
Ea stood up, walked around the long table, and kneeled in front of Laplace. "It's been a long time, teacher."
…
Once Ea's "teacher" was mentioned, everyone was stunned.
The two elders of the Crystal Eye Race covered their mouths in shock. Prophet Jota, on the other hand, was so shocked that he stopped moving. The fruit in his hand also stopped moving. The red fruit rolled to the ground.
Even the Mirror Dragons, Marian and Kukulus, looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
Ea's reputation in the Hundred Dragons Divine Kingdom was second only to Grandpa Wan.
But the lofty Ea actually called out to Laplace as "teacher".
How could they not be surprised?
They might have guessed Laplace's identity, but they did not know that a knowledgeable dragon like Ea actually had a teacher.
Angor and Glaipnir were probably the only ones who were not surprised.
Although they were stunned for a second when Eya called out "teacher", they quickly understood the reason behind it.
Back then, Ea's talent was not outstanding. No matter how hard he worked, he was still a loser compared to other "Mark of Dragon God" bearers.
Even the authority of the "Dragon God's Mark" was being questioned because of Ea.
This went on for many years until Ea met Laplace. With Laplace's help, he learned the truth about Ea's talent, "Book of Time".
At the same time, Laplace also helped Ea develop a special ability of his talent, "Book of Secrets".
In Laplace's opinion, it was just a small matter. However, from Ea's point of view, Laplace's help not only cleared his name, but also helped the Hundred Dragons Divine Kingdom to be known as "Mark of Dragon God" bearers.
Besides, Laplace also taught Ea knowledge, and it was the most important "talent enlightenment" knowledge for Ea.
From this point of view, it was reasonable for Ea to call Laplace "teacher".
Everyone was more or less surprised. Laplace was the only one who glanced at Ea and said, "I told you before that I'm not your teacher. Besides, I'm afraid even a hundred of me can't compare to your current knowledge. "
The Arcane Book Dragon had "book" as its name and "knowledge" as its foundation, so it naturally had its strengths. Laplace did not think that she could surpass the Arcane Book Dragon in terms of knowledge.
Perhaps Laplace did not know the saying "the one who learns is the teacher", but she had this concept in her mind.
"Knowledge is not everything. Besides, in terms of breadth, I'm not as good as you. " Ea stood up and bowed again. "Besides, no matter what, you are still my teacher in my heart."
