Angor considered Laplace's suggestion carefully.
On the surface, it did seem to satisfy all three parties. Besides, Angor and the others could safely escape from the maelstrom. It was an excellent idea.
However, one could never judge a book by its cover. A plan written on paper was based on logic and knowledge, but a real plan needed to consider people's minds and variables.
There was an obvious variable in the plan proposed by Laplace.
"What if Parrot asks us for help?" Angor asked.
They told the parrot the news that the Rice God was about to arrive with the help of the House of Everything. According to the plan, the parrot should run for its life. Then, each of them would show their magical powers and see who would win in the chase.
But what if Parrot didn't run away as planned and asked them for help, hoping that they would fulfill the contract and take it away from the Mirror Domain? What should they do then?
If they agreed to Parrot's request, wouldn't they still step into the maelstrom?
If they didn't agree to Parrot's request or found an excuse to delay, wouldn't that be the same as using a loophole in the contract? If they wanted to use a loophole, why not do it from the beginning? They didn't need to make things so complicated and backtrack.
Laplace said noncommittally, "If you don't want to exploit the loophole in the contract, then just follow the contract and take him out of the Mirror Realm."
"But if we take Parrot away, Rice God —"
He suddenly paused in the middle of his sentence. He thought about it carefully and realized that it wouldn't hurt to take Parrot away from the Mirror Domain.
Rice God's goal was to capture Parrot and retrieve the Blood of Gods. Would Rice God give up if Parrot left the Mirror Domain? Of course not.
If Parrot left the Mirror Domain and returned to the wizarding world, Rice God would definitely chase after it.
By then, the pursuit in the wizarding world would be between Rice God and Parrot. Angor wouldn't have anything to do with it.
If Rice God really chased him to the southern wizarding world, Angor could even treat Rice God as a "local tyrant" in return for giving him the badge.
Now that he thought about it, it wasn't that troublesome.
Angor rubbed his chin and nodded to Laplace. "That'll work."
"Then who's going to contact Parrot?" Angor asked.
They needed to contact Parrot as soon as possible.
Because Little Red was still using the excuse of "resting" to delay the Rice God and the Er Si Clan, they had to contact the parrot as soon as possible to prevent Little Red from delaying for too long.
Of course, even if Little Red was delayed for a long time, Rice God and the others would not suspect that there was something wrong with Little Red. However, they might question the efficiency of Little Red and the dog house behind her.
This was also a form of damage to his reputation.
Therefore, the person who contacted the parrot had better be quick.
Moreover, the parrot must have known that the Rice God and the others were chasing after him. He was now very vigilant. Even if a stranger passed the message to him, he might not necessarily believe it. Therefore, it would be best to send someone who had a contract with the parrot to help them.
But who would go?
Laplace said, "Gleipnir will participate in the multi-race meeting as a representative of the Dream Mirror. Therefore, she can't go for now."
Angor agreed. Gleipnir was the face of Dream Mirror. He had connections, connections, and a good view of the big picture. More importantly, Gleipnir was indebted to the Hundred Dragon Kingdom. Her words could be trusted by the Mirror Dragons. With the trust of the Mirror Dragons, it would be much easier for Gleipnir to talk to other races.
Therefore, Gleipnir had a lot of work to do right now. Asking her to pass the message to Parrot was a waste of her talent.
"As for Luigi …" Laplace considered. "Forget about him. He's preparing music scores for his next main mission. Also, he's studying 'Qing Hong' and 'E Abyss'. "
"'Qing Hong' and 'E Abyss'?" Angor was a little surprised. "He already bought them? He went to Alessandro? "
Qing Hong and E Abyss were products of the Dream Mirror Clan, which represented artificial dreams and nightmares. Angor was going to ask Quintera if Alessandro bought such products. If so, Quintera could just buy them from the Hundred Dragon Kingdom without going to the Dream Mirror Clan.
But now, according to Laplace, Qing Hong and E Abyss had already bought them? And Luigi had already started to study them?
"Huh? You didn't know?" Laplace paused for a moment as if he had thought of something. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Before the display on the main display platform ended, Gleipnir had already received the physical objects of Qing Hong and E Yuan."
Angor was speechless.
At that time, after they finished watching the display of the Goblins and confirmed that Qing Hong and E Yuan could lure out Lan, Laplace told Gleipnir about the purchase of Qing Hong and E Yuan through the Spirit Bond.
While Gleipnir was preparing to go on stage, he asked Guta Lace to take care of it.
Guta Lace contacted the Dream Mirror Clan using the exhibition booklet. As the leader of the Holy-Eyed Clan's gathering, she had more access to the booklet than anyone else.
When the Glasses Race received the news, they immediately sent someone to bring Qing Hong and E Yuan to Guta Lace.
The exhibition was not over yet.
Qing Hong and E Abyss had already entered Gleipnir's pocket.
Angor listened to Laplace's explanation and sighed in his mind. It's good to have connections and status …
Angor considered. "Let Luigi do it then. I'll go talk to Parrot."
He looked at Little Red and said, "I can't be sure if the thermocline outside is blocked, so I'll try to buy fifteen minutes."
In other words, Little Red would need another fifteen minutes.
The reason for this delay was that Crystal City had a strict restriction on energy ripples. Plus, the Hundred Dragon Kingdom had a large base, so it would take some time to reach the exit from the cloud cave.
Even so, Angor estimated that he could reach the stall area in five minutes at full speed. However, considering all kinds of variables, such as the congestion outside, and the fact that he could not move even an inch, he would have to wait a little longer.
A quarter of an hour was a relatively generous time frame.
Little Red nodded obediently. "Sure, Kitty. Rice God and the others have been chasing after the criminal merchant for a long time. They won't mind waiting a little longer. "
"I'll tell you when I'm done with Parrot."
Since Little Red nodded, Angor did not say anything else. Time was of the essence, so he logged out.
However, as soon as he logged out, Angor noticed something. Before he could ask Steward Fan to leave, he saw Laplace opening his eyes as well.
Angor, Luigi, Laplace, and Steward Fan were all awake. Marian was the only one who was still asleep.
Steward Fan glanced at Angor and was about to say something when he noticed some energy ripples between Angor and Laplace. Perhaps they were communicating privately.
Steward Fan nodded to Angor as a polite greeting and did not say anything else.
Angor returned the greeting while asking Laplace why he logged out as well.
"I'm going with you," Laplace replied through their Spirit Bond.
Angor was surprised. Did he have to go with Parrot? Did Laplace's spirit sense foresee something unexpected?
"No, it's not. Laplace said, "If you go alone and Parrot asks you for help, do you have a way to guide him away?"
Angor did not know what to say.
Even if Angor brought Parrot to his heart space, he might not be able to find his way back from Crystal City.
Laplace's expression remained calm, but Angor could see a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "I was going to go with you, but you logged out as soon as you finished your sentence."
Since Angor left so quickly, Laplace had to bid farewell to the canine warden and logged out as well.
Angor nodded, feeling a little guilty. "Shall we leave the word space now?"
"No need." Laplace shook his head.
When Laplace said this, his long silver-white hair began to wriggle like flowing mercury with sparkling streamers.
As the silver hair flowed, it condensed into silver chains. These silver chains gathered together in a certain logic, forming a thick and smooth "mercury mirror."
Through the mercury mirror, he could see the dense shadows of the trees inside.
This was not Angor's first time seeing the mirror. It was Laplace's "Silver Forest Space", a special space she created.
Previously, Luigi had participated in the Uriel Instance Dungeon Trial in the Silver Forest Space.
Angor did not understand why Laplace summoned the Silver Forest Space now.
Laplace did not say anything. She glanced at Steward Fan, who was watching them from a distance. "Angor and I have something to discuss. We need to leave for a while."
Steward Fan was curious about what happened, but he did not dare to ask. He only nodded with a smile.
Laplace glanced at Luigi again. She wanted to say something, but judging from Luigi's blank look, Laplace was probably lost in his own thoughts.
In the end, Laplace did not say anything. She nodded to Angor and entered the mirror.
…
After a moment of weightlessness, Angor felt his feet steady. The air was filled with the smell of soil and forest.
Angor opened his eyes and saw himself standing in the middle of a dark forest.
Behind him was a silver mirror. Through the mirror, he could see the "banquet table" outside. It was the text space.
There was another table in front of him. But unlike the regular tables outside, this one was more delicate. The four legs of the table were swinging up and down. The decorations on the table were not "regular" either. Spinning teacups, singing candlesticks, pages with fragrant liquid flowing from them, and so on. All of them showed the wonders of this table.
Above the long table, there was also a thundercloud with a cute big eye floating in the air.
"This is perfect for a tea party," Angor mumbled. Everything here was exactly the same as the Witch's Tea Party in the fairy tale.
Greya would love this place if she was here.
While Angor was thinking, he heard Laplace calling him.
Angor looked back.
He saw a group of "Laplacians" walking toward him from the forest.
Yes, a "group". There were at least a dozen of them. There were also several "Laplacians" standing on the treetops, looking at Angor from afar.
They all wore different colored clothes and had different hair colors. The only thing they had in common was their faces.
Because of the difference in their attire, Angor recognized the real "Laplace" right away. She was standing in front of the group of "Laplacians".
"So they're the" Scattered Elements "you mentioned?"
Laplace nodded at Angor. "There are also" Blood Clones "," Phantom Clones ", and" Aether Clones ". I'll tell you more when I have time. "
"Let's go find Parrot first."
"How do we get there?" Angor asked with a serious expression. "How? Through a plane passageway? A mirror tunnel? "
Laplace shook his head. "It's slow, and the giant spirit of Crystal City will sense it. No need."
"Then how do we get there?"
Laplace said, "Have you forgotten how I took you to see my main body?"
Angor was surprised. "You're saying we should go to the Void of Consciousness?"
In order to see the "painting", Angor used his consciousness to follow Laplace through the consciousness space until they reached Laplace's main body in the Sea of Mirrors.
Of course, he would never forget his trip to the void of consciousness.
After all, it was one of the closest experiences he had ever had.
Laplace nodded. "It's faster if we go through the consciousness space. Besides, you've experienced it before, so I don't need to tell you the rules."
He had to admit that it would take him only a few seconds to reach the parrot's location.
But …
Angor looked around and pointed at the group of "Colorful Laplacians" who were staring at him. "Are they coming too?"
Laplace shook his head. "They're just curious."
"???"
"You're the only one who entered the Silver Forest Dimension apart from my original self," Laplace said.
After a pause, Laplace said, "Ignore them. Let's go."
As he spoke, Laplace extended a finger, and a strange energy began to gather on his fingertip, which was so white that it was almost like jade.
The energy condensed into flickering spots of light, floating up and down in the dark forest, like fireflies swaying in the wind, or like a river of stars swirling around.
The light spots arranged themselves into a "constellation" pattern that surrounded Angor and Laplace.
In the eyes of the other "Laplacians", Angor and Laplace slowly sat down on the ground and closed their eyes peacefully as if they were sleeping.
But in Angor's view, the light spots around them turned into a mirror that dragged him and Laplace into it.
They slowly sank down into a soft swamp.
When his head was also surrounded by the swamp, Angor felt that he had arrived at a world made of light spots.
This was the consciousness space.
