After putting on the Ink Feather Pendant, Marian did not activate the Dream effect right away. Instead, she manipulated the ability to change her "clothes and skin".
Sitting across from Marian, Angor saw Marian covering her coiled hair with colorful, glittering vermilion, just like Mary Sue. He also saw Marian creating a pair of butterfly wings on her back that could create a rainbow.
It was normal to paint colorful prints on dresses.
In just a few seconds, Angor witnessed Marian's unique paint style + 100.
He had to admit that the effect of changing colors at will was very effective against women who pursued beauty.
However, Marian's current body seemed to have a different sense of beauty. Why do you like colorful things so much? Are you really not a Mary Sue?
Angor complained in his mind, but he still put on appropriate expressions such as "amazed", "impressed", "incredible", and so on.
Luckily, Marian did not "play" for too long. In the end, she chose a colorful butterfly tattoo near her collarbone and ended her first paint adventure. Angor's expression would not be good enough otherwise.
"You can do such a small change of light and shadow. You must have a great understanding of runes." Marian did not hesitate to praise after she had enough fun.
Angor: "It's just a small function, nothing to mention."
"It's a small function, but the details are enough." Marian did not forget to criticize her own kind. "Compared to the color-changing earrings made by that old man Dirk, this is much better."
"Dirk?" Angor was surprised. "You mean Algalon?"
Marian nodded noncommittally. "Back then, I asked De to help me refine earrings that could change colors. This way, I could match different human dance dresses. It has indeed been refined, but the colors it can produce are extremely ugly. "
Every time Malyan mentioned the color-changing earrings that she had refined back then, her face was full of disdain and her mouth was full of complaints.
According to Marian's words, Angor had a general idea of what was going on.
To put it simply, the color-changing earrings could change colors, but under normal circumstances, the color range it presented was not suitable for Marian's eyes.
Angor's Ink Feather Pendant was small, but it had plenty of details. The color of the pendant would be adjusted slowly by using light and shadow. Eventually, the pendant would reach a color saturation that was comfortable for the wearer's eyes.
Even if it was extremely bright, extremely dazzling, and extremely sharp, it could still be adjusted to give the wearer a comfortable experience.
At this time, Steward Fan finished adjusting his bow tie and suddenly said, "I seem to have heard of this matter, but I remember that the earring is called Saleen Poto's earring, and it's not a color-changing earring. Its effect is to protect against spatial vibrations through mimicry … "
Marian: "It is indeed Saleen Poto's earring, and it can indeed mimic it. But compared to these inexplicable effects, I'm more interested in its ability to change colors. "
"To be honest, the color change is indeed not as good as the Ink Feather Pendant."
Steward Fan fell silent.
From an objective point of view, Saleen Poto's earrings were actually not bad. However, as the owner of the earrings, Marian had the right to make subjective comments.
The effect of Saleen Poto's earrings was not useful to Marian, so she valued the color-changing function more. This was understandable … right?
Angor did not dare to say anything. Algalon was known as the strongest forging master in the White Sun Mirror Zone. Even if Angor was already a "master alchemist", he did not think that he could compare with Algalon.
Marian preferred the Ink Feather Pendant made by herself, but … this was the result of different racetracks.
He did not have so much energy to make the effect of the Ink Feather Pendant so complicated. So he used some clever ideas, such as adding some light and shadow runes, to please women. Meanwhile, the earrings made by Mister Dirk were meant to protect against spatial vibrations. The color-changing function was only an additional effect of mimicry.
One was meant for witches' pursuit of external appearance, while the other was meant for practicality. The two were fundamentally different.
Angor could only look down and remain silent.
Marian did not force Angor to comment. She changed the topic. "I'm very satisfied with the light and shadow effect. Next, let's log into the Dream Crystal. I hope the Dream Crystal will not disappoint me. "
Marian then looked at Steward Fan who was not far away. "Want to join us? We can keep each other company. "
Steward Fan's expression changed. He was tempted, but in the end, he shook his head. As the steward of this text space, he had to be responsible for it. This was his professional integrity.
Marian shrugged and didn't care. She activated the login device in front of everyone.
In the next second, the dream tentacle carried her consciousness and entered the land of dreams.
Soon, Marian felt that she had arrived at a long dream bridge.
She did not choose to move forward immediately. Instead, she sensed herself on the Dream Bridge. She could resist the entire process of entering the Dream Crystal. If she resisted, she could immediately stop the process. Now that she was already on the Dream Bridge, it was very easy for her to return to reality.
This made Marian feel a little better. She did not want to be "forced" into entering the Dream Crystal.
Being able to freely enter and exit the Dream Crystal was a must for her.
Now that the device had passed the biggest obstacle in her mind, the next step was to see if the Dream Crystal could bring her any surprises.
Marian stepped forward and walked toward the vague door in the depths of the dream bridge.
…
On the other side.
Angor and Laplace whispered something to each other and chose to enter the Dream Crystal as well.
This time, he did not enter the Dream Crystal to receive Marian. He had something else to do here. Since he was resting in the Oil Painting Restaurant for now and there was nothing else to do outside, he might as well check out the Dream Crystal.
As for Laplace, he chose to stay outside.
They could not all enter the Dream Crystal and leave Steward Fan alone, could they? No matter how gentlemanly Steward Fan acted, he was still an outsider. He still needed to be vigilant.
Soon, Angor arrived at Rabbit Town.
He was currently in a corridor on the fifth floor of a bunny building.
In a room at the end of the corridor, there was someone he wanted to see after entering the Dream Crystal.
However, instead of going deeper into the corridor, he went to the balcony and looked down at Rabbit Town from above.
He only looked away when he saw Marian walking into Rabbit Town with an excited expression.
The place he arranged for Marian to be born was not inside Rabbit Town. Instead, it was in the shadow of a nearby crystal cave. This was to prevent the new residents from being frightened by the sudden appearance of a living person.
There were two paths in the Crystal Cave. One led to a dead end, while the other led to Rabbit Town.
Angor observed from above to see if Marian would change her mind and go deeper into the Crystal Cave.
If Marian really went the other way, Angor would have to "send someone" to bring her back.
Fortunately, Marian wasn't a deviant.
There was light in Rabbit Town, and the Rabbit Mansion was a landmark. Marian could see it from afar. Therefore, she didn't go against her logic and take the dark, deep, and unknown path. Instead, she followed normal logic and walked toward Rabbit Town.
After making sure that Marian had entered Rabbit Town, Angor felt relieved.
After that, Marian would definitely meet the new residents of this place.
The new residents knew about the "registrants" and would explain things to Marian. Angor did not need to worry about that.
He walked into the corridor and went deeper into the Crystal Cave.
A large door was opened.
It was a small, cramped room. There were beds, cabinets, and plush carpets. It was an ordinary room for new residents.
Several figures appeared in the room. Most of them were gathered around a fire in the middle of the room. They seemed to be discussing something in whispers.
Angor's arrival instantly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone quieted down and looked at Angor.
Angor did not ask them right away. Instead, he went to a corner of the room.
The bunny girl in a bunny costume, little Laplace, was squatting in the corner and counting her fingers in boredom.
She only looked up when Angor came to her side.
The bunny girl's eyes lit up when she saw Angor. "You're finally here!"
Angor nodded. "What's going on?"
"It's the same situation that I transmitted to Laplace earlier. Nothing has changed." The bunny girl pointed at the group of people not far away. "Look, they all said they were witnesses. But I went there to check. Nothing unusual."
Angor looked around and saw the new residents cowering in fear.
Judging from their attire, they must have come here together with the people from Charlie's Palace. They were all mortals before they came to Rabbit Town, and they only did ordinary daily chores. It was rare for them to get involved in supernatural events, so it was normal for them to be afraid.
Angor smiled and walked to them. "Don't be afraid. I'm not going to eat you. Now, tell me what happened. "
They were still afraid, but they knew what was important, so they told Angor everything in a stutter.
Angor's expression did not change. The story was a little strange, but Laplace already told him about it through their Spirit Bond.
He already heard it once, and hearing it again was just a confirmation.
The situation was just as Laplace had said. They had been in the wilderness and had run into … a ghost.
Or, to use their own words, they ran into undead creatures in the mist.
Here was the gist of it.
Many things needed to be done in order to build a town that belonged to the new residents. Among them, those people were sent out to scout the surrounding terrain.
The crystal plain was vast, without any vegetation or forests. Their job was to check if there were any sinkholes or natural moats around.
They would mark these "dangerous" areas so that no one would enter them by mistake.
While this group of people was exploring their surroundings, they suddenly encountered a thin fog.
The mist was not thick enough to block their vision, so they did not mind it too much and kept recording the possible dangerous areas.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the mist.
They thought it was another visitor from Rabbit Town, so they greeted him warmly.
However, when they saw his face clearly, they were surprised to discover that he wasn't someone from Rabbit Town at all. It could even be said that whether or not he was a "person" had yet to be proven.
This was because it was translucent, just like the undead in the legends.
However, this undead creature did not seem to be as bloodthirsty as the legends said. It just wandered aimlessly in the mist.
They did not dare to provoke the "undead creature", so they quickly ran back.
They wanted to tell the others about their encounter, but the dragon tomb on Misty Island happened to be open, and everyone's attention was attracted to this place.
They thought about it and decided to go back home.
When they reached home, they told everyone about the "undead creature in the mist" as an anecdote.
Anecdotes spread much faster than serious news, especially when there was a gimmick such as "undead creature in the mist". It did not take long for all the nearby residents to hear about it.
The bunny girl also heard about it from some of the new residents when she returned from her training in the cave.
She had a feeling that something was wrong, so she went to find them and asked about it.
In order to find out if it was true, she took these people to the spot where the "undead creature in the mist" appeared.
However, they did not find anything.
It was as if the undead creature in the mist did not exist.
The bunny girl even wondered if they were lying, or if they were suffering from hysteria.
However, these people were adamant. In addition, their neighbors also showed that they were upright people. The bunny girl finally believed them.
She logged off and told Laplace about it through the Spirit Bond.
Laplace also told Angor about this, which was why Angor came to see him.
…
After hearing the story, Angor comforted the new residents a little and left the house with the bunny girl.
"Are they telling the truth?" the bunny girl asked curiously.
"I think so," Angor replied.
Using his Beyonder Perception, Angor could tell that they were telling the truth by observing their emotions.
However, even if they saw the "undead creature in the mist", it could be a mirage. Angor was not sure, so he added "probably" before answering.
"What is your view on this matter?"
Angor shook his head. "I don't know yet. At least, I didn't see any 'undead creature in the mist'."
Before entering the Dream Crystal, Angor used his Omniscient View to observe the surroundings.
He checked everything within a hundred kilometers and did not find anything out of the ordinary.
It was unlikely that these people were hiding something. After all, Angor's access to the Dream Crystal was very high. Even if he could not find any traces, he could still find them.
In Angor's opinion, there were only a few possibilities. Either it was a "mirage", or these people were suffering from hysteria. Or, the undead creature in the mist came from a fairyland, and the manifestation of the fairyland was so small that he had to search inch by inch to find it.
