The speed at which they traversed through the void of consciousness was extremely fast. Using the time of the outside world to calculate, they arrived at their destination in the blink of an eye — the Silver Forest Space.
Along with a slight sense of weightlessness, Angor felt himself falling down from his consciousness as if he was about to fall from a higher dimension.
Until … he suddenly opened his eyes.
He smelled the scent of the forest, and his feet were no longer floating. He could also feel the energy fluctuations around him.
The feeling of time disorientation in the Void of Consciousness also disappeared.
Without a doubt, he was back.
Angor looked around. He was still standing on the grass in the Silver Forest Dimension. Nothing was wrong with his body. He pushed himself up from the ground.
When Angor was about to check Laplace's location, he heard a clear voice coming from not too far away.
"Do you want to come over for a cup of tea?"
Angor looked back and saw "Laplace" wearing a black and red dress. Her hair was dark purple, and one of her eyes was black while the other was red. She looked like a Goth.
Angor knew who she was. She was Luigi's natural enemy, and one of Laplace's clones — God's Blood Clone.
God's Blood Clone was sitting beside the dancing table with a cup of steaming hot tea in her hand.
Angor wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, he heard someone rustling beside him.
He turned around and saw Laplace walking towards the long table. As he passed by, Laplace said softly, "Let's go over and have a chat. The Scarlet Lamp Demon Empress has given us an interesting piece of information."
With that, Laplace arrived at the long table.
The table, which seemed to have ADHD, curled up a corner to welcome Laplace's arrival. It looked like a girl lifting her skirt and bowing slightly.
Apart from that, an armchair floated to Laplace's side and allowed him to sit down.
Angor scratched his head and followed the old man.
The dancing table welcomed Angor with the same "blessing". As the table moved, the tableware on the table was sent flying and fell to the ground with a series of clattering noises.
Even so, the plates and tea sets did not break or get messed up. They were still neatly arranged.
While Angor was paying attention to the tea set, a chair also floated to him from behind, allowing him to sit down.
The candlesticks on the table began to dance and sing a song called "Song of the Forest".
The thick book beside the candlesticks floated to Angor and turned its pages on its own. While turning the pages, the book asked in a high-pitched voice, "What about this page? Is it the Toot Tea popular in the City of Gold? Or is it this page? The Tooth Fairy Queen's favorite tea? "
Angor noticed that each page of the book was decorated with delicate patterns. They were all pictures of hot tea and their corresponding colors.
Although they were just patterns, they were also releasing smoke, which went through the book's pages.
He could easily smell the rich tea aroma in the smoke.
The smoke on each page was either thick or light, and the fragrance of the tea was also different.
At this moment, Laplace said, "Give me a glass of ice water."
The book was surprised. It kept turning the pages and mumbled, "Why do you always like ice water when there's good tea? I don't think I'm worth anything. "
Laplace glanced at the book. "Keep your mouth shut if you want to be worth something."
"Yeah, you're too noisy," Laplace's clone chimed in.
Facing the two "Laplaces", the thick-shelled book didn't care at all. It even chuckled as if being noticed and interrupted was the value of its existence.
Not long after, the thick book flipped to a page.
Angor noticed that it was a picture of an iceberg and a lake. There was also a note beside it: "Melting Spring from Luca Snowy Peak, Country of Ice".
Country of Ice? Luca Snowy Peak? So the iceberg and lake on this page were Luca Snowy Peak?
While Angor was wondering, the book suddenly trembled, and ice water flowed out of the page.
These ice fountains fell from the sky, but they did not drip onto the table. Instead, they were caught by the teapot that jumped over, and not a single drop spilled outside.
After the teapot was filled to the brim, it hopped around and poured into the teacup next to it.
Even from a meter away, Angor could already sense the chilling aura coming from it.
Laplace picked up the "ice water" and slowly took a sip.
The book floated to him again and asked, "What about this page? No, I haven't turned the page yet. I don't want to keep pouring ice water. I'll get frozen. "
Angor looked at the lively book with a strange expression. "You made all the water on the pages?"
The thick-shelled book: "Of course not. I bought these from outside and stored them in the pages of the book."
The doppelganger on the other side added, "I am the one who bought the water. You are just filling it."
The book didn't argue. It only mumbled, "But I'm the one who drew the patterns."
While listening to the conversation between the book and the clone, Angor realized that each page of the book was a separate storage space, which contained the corresponding drinks and snacks.
Judging from the steaming hot tea that Zhang Tie's doppelganger drank and the icy water that Laplace drank, Zhang Tie guessed that the space in the pages of the thick-shelled book should have the function of preserving freshness and freezing time.
While Angor pondered, the book was still turning pages.
The thick-shelled book: "Have you chosen? Or, you don't like any of them? "
Angor wanted to say no, but he didn't think it was a good idea to refuse. In the end, he picked a random page. "I'll take this one."
Angor didn't even look at the page when he made his choice. When he took a closer look, he realized that the image displayed on the page was a Mirror Dragon surrounded by black clouds. It was drinking from a lake.
"That's the Elemental Dragon's special electric water." The thick-shelled book: "It's good, it's good. No one drank the electric water, and I thought it would rot in the pages."
As he spoke, the thick-shelled book continued to seep water out.
The teapot in front of Angor hopped over and caught the water.
The water looked like normal spring water. There was nothing unusual about it.
However, the sleeping mini cloud above the table suddenly opened its large eyes. Next, a bolt of lightning struck the teapot.
Next, he saw the blackened teapot floating in the air again. Then, the teapot poured out a cup of … electrified water, which was filled with electric sparks.
"…" So this is what you mean by "specially adjusted electricity"? It was created on the spot by lightning? Is this something a human can drink?
Angor didn't know what to say. Laplace's clone explained, "The water contains the aura of an Elemental Dragon, so it's perfect for lightning. It won't hurt you too much. You'll even feel a little numb. "
"I heard many people outside like this kind of water. Of course, I don't like it. In my opinion, it's the bathwater of an Elemental Dragon. "
Angor almost put the cup of water into his mouth when he heard the first half of the clone's words.
However, the latter part of her words made him put down the bottle again.
Angor cleared his throat. "I'll drink it later. I'm not thirsty."
The book was still confused, but it didn't urge Angor. It floated away and whispered something to Candlestick, who was humming a gentle melody.
Angor looked at the dancing table, the singing candlestick, the scented books, and the thundercloud with its large eyes.
Angor felt a little relieved despite the absurdity.
Maybe this was why witches liked to join tea parties?
…
In the end, Angor tried the "bathwater" of an Elemental Dragon.
Just like what Laplace's clone said, Angor felt a little numb in his mouth. It felt like he just ate a popping candy with pepper.
Would anyone really like this taste?
Well, Angor couldn't appreciate it personally. And it would be even more difficult if he thought it was the so-called "bathwater".
He did not like it, but he did not want to let it go to waste. He drank the whole cup anyway. When the teapot was about to pour him a second cup, Angor refused.
"Any news from Scarlet Lamp?" Angor looked at Laplace.
"Gleipnir is acting as a middleman between the two sides," Laplace said. "Blood Calamity hasn't said anything yet. But they seem to have softened their attitude."
"Isn't Gleipnir having a meeting with the other races? She won't be affected, right?"
Laplace shook his head. "No. Besides, Blood Calamity might know something about the Woe Puppet, which is the same as Gleipnir's goal."
Laplace paused and continued, "Blood Calamity hasn't made any progress yet, but Scarlet Lamp did send us some information about them."
"This information is quite interesting."
Laplace's clone sipped his tea and agreed. "Interesting indeed. Good thing I didn't go. Otherwise, I might have gotten myself into trouble."
Why would a clone get himself into trouble?
"What is it?" Angor looked at Laplace in confusion. "What is it?"
"Blood Calamity's ability. Scarlet Lamp sent us the information about the Blood Calamity's ability. "
"What kind of ability?" Angor asked out of instinct.
"A very high-level law ability," Laplace explained, "and it's related to the level of one's bloodline."
Laplace didn't hide anything from Angor and told him everything he knew.
Blood Calamity's ability was close to the level of "law", which was normal. All Mirror Wraiths had similar law abilities. The only difference was their strength.
For example, the Light Calamity Angor fought at Shank's Haunted House had an ability called "Assimilate with Light". It sounded powerful, and it was. However, it also had an obvious weakness. Angor managed to trap it with a simple mirror.
Unlike the Light Calamity, the Blood Calamity's ability had almost no weaknesses.
According to Scarlet Lamp's information, the Blood Calamity's law ability allowed it to perform a bloodline test on all nearby enemies every once in a while. If the enemy's bloodline level was lower than the Blood Calamity's, the Blood Calamity's bloodline would be completely absorbed.
It wasn't difficult to use the ability either. Everything within sight or reflected by the mirror would be included in the test.
Back when the eighteen caravans were in God's Domain, there were people who had their blood sucked dry by unknown existences and died. In fact, it was because of this ability of the Blood Calamity.
Blood Calamity could directly absorb the target's blood from a distance, and as long as the target's bloodline level was lower than the Blood Calamity's, there was no way to escape.
"What if the target's bloodline level is higher than the Blood Calamity's? Will the Blood Calamity suffer a backlash? "
Laplace shook his head. "No. If the target's bloodline level is higher than the Blood Calamity's, he or she will be immune to the Blood Calamity's law ability. But the Blood Calamity won't suffer any backlash or punishment. "
This was one of the reasons why the Blood Calamity was so powerful. It could force the Blood Calamity's bloodline test on others while completely immune to the backlash.
Angor frowned. "So as long as the Blood Calamity keeps improving its bloodline level, it'll become stronger and stronger?"
Laplace nodded. "Yes. This is why the Blood Calamity is interested in the Blood of Gods and the Plate of Two Gods. It can absorb bloodlines of higher levels to improve its own bloodline level. "
This was also why the Blood Calamity kept causing more disasters. It needed to absorb more bloodlines to maintain its growth.
"That's a scary ability." Angor sighed in amazement.
It was much stronger than the Light Calamity.
But then again, the Light Calamity had its own weakness. What about the Blood Calamity? The Blood Calamity should have its own weakness as well. Otherwise, its law ability would be invulnerable.
"Weakness? Of course it does. But it's not a big problem. " Laplace said, "First of all, you have to be seen by the Blood Calamity or reflected in the mirror to be judged by your bloodline level. If you can avoid the Blood Calamity, you can avoid the Blood Calamity's law. "
But it was difficult to avoid being reflected by the Blood Calamity's law.
When they thought about what happened to the 18 merchant teams, they also knew that the Blood Calamity's law was the cause of the Blood Calamity's law.
This was because the Blood Calamity had created a rain, and with the reflection of the raindrops on the mirror, it had surrounded them without any blind spots.
"Second, the Blood Calamity's law ability can only affect one person at a time."
So, when the Blood Calamity is killing other people, you can escape and avoid the Blood Calamity's law vortex.
However, the Blood Calamity's law ability was always targeted at the Blood Calamity's enemies. This didn't seem to be the Blood Calamity's weakness. Instead, it was more like a warning to the enemy.
"Third, and the Blood Calamity's real weakness, is that its law ability doesn't work on energy entities or energy lifeforms."
Energy entities didn't have "bloodlines" to speak of, let alone having their blood "sucked".
