At this point in time, there was no doubt that the strange creature that had logged into the Dream Crystal could only be the giant city spirit.
Angor told Laplace what he just learned.
Laplace did not comment on this. He only calmly said, "Jota did not choose to return. Instead, he chose to enter the Dream Crystal elsewhere … This is rather interesting."
Laplace didn't say what "interesting" it was.
But Angor could tell that it was something else.
He was probably worried about Jota.
After all, when entering the Dream Crystal, Jota's body in the outside world would fall into a deep slumber. If there was someone nearby with bad intentions, they might cause irreparable damage.
Although Jota had casually logged into the Dream Crystal in front of them, that was because the giant city spirit was watching in the dark.
Jota knew that even if his body was in a deep slumber, the city spirit would still help him if anything happened.
Now that the giant city spirit had also entered the Dream Crystal Plain, no one was keeping an eye on it. Jota did not dare to enter the Dream Crystal Plain in front of them.
Of course, Jota could ask the guards to come in and help him. But … that would just be giving himself away.
Once the guards came in, Angor and Laplace would know that Jota was treating them as "potential criminals" even if they didn't do anything.
That would be extremely rude. Not only would it offend people, but it might also cause unnecessary trouble.
Jota wouldn't do that.
Therefore, using the excuse of "temporarily leaving" to enter the Dream Crystal in a place far away from outsiders was the best solution.
Even if Angor and Laplace knew what Jota was trying to do, they wouldn't offend anyone.
And it was true. Both Angor and Laplace knew what Jota was trying to do. But they didn't mind. Being cautious was always the first thing they should do.
If even acquaintances were like this, then what was more, they were not even acquaintances with Jota.
Angor didn't care about Jota's thoughts. "Speaking of which, Quintera mentioned that the city spirit was raised from a small house?"
"So, the real body of the city spirit is a small house?"
"You're curious about its real body?" Laplace asked.
Angor rubbed his chin and shook his head. "No, I'm just curious. What will it look like when it enters the Dream Crystal? Is it a small house? "
If the body was a house, then wouldn't entering the Dream Crystal be like bringing a house with you?
The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. "I'll go check it out."
Laplace nodded. Despite her calm expression, she was actually curious about what Angor had just said. Would the city spirit really turn into a house inside the Dream Crystal?
Although he was very curious, Laplace did not enter the Dream Crystal. After all, this was an outsider's territory. Someone had to stay outside.
…
He didn't enter the Dream Crystal either.
He closed his eyes and directly entered the Authority of Dreamscape Gate.
Through the vision of the Gate of Dreams, he could clearly see the Dream Bridge and the figure walking alone on the Dream Bridge.
When the city spirit came into his sight through the darkness, Angor was completely dumbfounded.
This was not the first time he had seen a "spirit-type" enter the Dream Crystal.
Therefore, he had a general idea of what a spirit-type's body would look like in a Dream Crystal.
Almost all spirit-type creatures, including elemental creatures, would keep what they thought of as their body when they entered the Dream Crystal.
For example, Tree Spirit's true form was a tree, but it always appeared in human form, which was why it subconsciously considered this human form as its usual body.
Therefore, it would also keep its human form when it entered the Dream Crystal.
The subconscious was usually the sum of information collected by countless creatures. Therefore, the body it thought of could also be called the "real body".
With such an example, Angor was sure that the city spirit's body inside the Dream Crystal was the "real body" created by its subconscious.
Angor guessed that the city spirit's real body was either a small house or its original form.
Or it was a new body that was disturbed by the environment. Since the city spirit lived in the environment of the Crystaleye Race for a long time, its real body would be more inclined toward the Crystaleye Race.
For example, Tree Spirit's real body was more inclined toward humans because it spent most of its time in contact with humans.
But!
Angor's guess was completely wrong!
When the city spirit's real body appeared in front of him, he realized that it was neither a house nor a Crystaleye Race. It was a … lady with a gorgeous crystal palace on her head?!
Angor could not describe the scene in front of him.
He had seen ladies who tied their hair up elegantly in a bun and braided their hair into all kinds of shapes, such as mountains, rivers, and forests.
But he had never seen a lady whose entire head was a crystal palace.
If he had to describe it, Angor could only think of an old animation he saw on his hologram tablet — Barrel Girl.
She was the daughter of a noble family. Because of her beauty, she was afraid of causing trouble, so she was put on a barrel when she was young. Outsiders could only see her fair neck that was as smooth as a swan's, as well as her graceful body, her elegant clothes, and her ladylike steps.
If the barrel on the girl's head was replaced with a gorgeous crystal palace, then this would be the city spirit in front of Angor's eyes.
If one didn't look above her neck, they would only think that she was a lady just by looking at her crystal dress and her leisurely and gentle steps.
But if one looked at her head, everything would be different.
How should he address this scene before him … the girl with the palace head? Crystal Palace Lady? Or Barrel Girl?
As Angor pondered, the city spirit had already arrived in front of the dream gate. She looked up and "studied" the gate.
Yes, she was "studying" it.
The windows of two houses in the crystal palace were opened, revealing the dark vortex inside.
The windows were probably the "eyelids", and the vortex was probably the "eyes".
The dark vortex carefully observed the Gate of Dreams, and the giant city spirit whispered, "Strange door, is it some kind of space transfer medium?"
When the city spirit spoke, the gate of the crystal palace was opened. It was also dark inside. Without a doubt, the gate was the "mouth".
The city spirit only paused for a second or two before she closed her eyes. "Forget it. I'll have plenty of time to … no, I mean, study it. Let's go see Evelda first."
"My dear Evelda, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't think you'd come to see me first after waking up. How would I dare to refuse your request? "
With that, the city spirit took a big step forward and jumped into the dream gate as if she could not wait to see Evelda.
Angor did not know what to say.
The city spirit's voice was sometimes high-pitched and sometimes pretentious.
Angor forced himself to interpret the words "lady" and "concubine" in a slightly "honest" way. In fact, she was expressing herself in a wilder way.
This did not match her ladylike appearance at all.
So the city spirit was using the opposite approach?
Also, from what the city spirit said, she asked Jota to make Evelda the first person to enter the Dream Crystal not only because of her "wisdom", but also because of … her own selfish motives.
She guessed that Evelyn and Evelyn were very close.
Angor did not think too much about it. He did not enter the Dream Crystal to ask about the conversation between the city spirit and Evelda.
They would talk about something else later. If Angor tried to talk to them with the answers he already knew, his answers might change. So, there was no need to pry now. He would know the answer soon.
Angor opened his eyes.
When he was about to tell Laplace about the city spirit, he saw Laplace holding a dragon scale in his hand and rubbing it as if he was thinking about something.
Angor never saw this scale before.
However, he could sense that there was a powerful and terrifying aura hidden within the dragon scales.
Whose dragon scale is this?
"You're awake already?" Laplace looked at Angor and saw the boy staring at the dragon scale on his hand. "That's Eia's dragon scale."
Ea? Arcane Tome Dragon? Angor was a little surprised. Before they left the Cloud Cave, Laplace went to look for Ea and obtained something from him.
Was this the dragon scale?
"You'll find out about the dragon scales later," Laplace said in a flat tone. "You'll know soon enough. How are you doing? Did you see the city spirit's true form? "
Angor felt like he had a lot of things to tell Laplace about the city spirit's true form.
Honestly, the giant city spirit was too different from what he had imagined, as well as from the other spirits, there was too much of a difference.
Even though Angor was not a gossiper, he couldn't help but want to share.
Angor quickly explained what happened to the giant city spirit.
After hearing this, Laplace was not too surprised. Instead, he guessed in a low voice, "Is the head a complete crystal palace?"
"Maybe that's her wish."
"Her wish?"
Laplace nodded. "Yes. Spirits don't have a fixed shape. Whether they have a true form or not depends on their inner wishes.
"The spirit of the crystal city was born to match this marvelous structure. But it was only a house spirit at the beginning, which is a far cry from the spirit of the city.
"If you want a house spirit to become a spirit of the city, you have to teach it the same idea from the very beginning."
When the house spirit was still a house spirit, Angor told it that it would become a spirit of the city in the future.
This was the only way for the house spirit to grow into a spirit that could match the spirit of the city.
Perhaps it was because of this that the house spirit dreamed of becoming a spirit of the city.
Dreams could not only be reflected into reality, but also into one's subconscious.
The subconscious was the sum of a creature's information, and the true form formed by the subconscious was the most desired form of the creature.
Perhaps when the house spirit was first cultivated, she had this appearance, and as time passed, this appearance became her … real body.
It was both her original intention and her wish.
"That explains her appearance. But her personality …" Angor was still confused, but he could still get the gist of it.
Laplace said, "It's a personality problem. That's a combination of nature and nurture. No one can control it."
After pausing for a moment, Laplace said, "However, compared to the appearance and personality of the giant city spirit, I'm more curious about whether its entry into the Dream Crystal would cause any changes in the dreamland."
After all, the city spirit was the first "spirit" to enter the Dream Crystal.
When Mirror Dragon entered the Dream Crystal, it brought the "Misty Isle Dragon's Tomb" with it. What would happen to the city spirit?
Besides, Laplace knew that some of his clones, which turned into special NPCs, had spirits.
If the city spirit happened to activate a "spirit" NPC, it was possible that a new dungeon would appear.
Angor didn't think about that. Now that Laplace reminded him, he quickly used his Authority Sight to see if there were any changes.
A moment later, Angor opened his eyes and shook his head. "I don't see any signs of a new wonderland yet."
"But that doesn't mean there's no wonderland."
Last time, Barregon activated the Misty Isle Dragon's Tomb, but he didn't do so immediately after entering the Dream Crystal. Instead, he went to the surface of the Dream Crystal and fulfilled certain conditions.
Now, the city spirit was still talking to Evda and Jota in Rabbit Town after entering the Dream Crystal.
It didn't do anything else.
Therefore, even if there was a wonderland, there might not be enough conditions.
Most of the conditions to open a wonderland dungeon weren't too difficult to fulfill, but sometimes luck was required.
For example, one of the conditions to open the "Walking Dead in Foggy Swamp" was "weather".
Without the right weather, the dungeon couldn't be opened even if the other conditions were met.
Even if the city spirit didn't open a wonderland now, it didn't mean it wouldn't open one in the future.
As the first spirit to enter the Dream Crystal, Angor still needed to observe carefully.
…
After talking about the city spirit, Angor had nothing else to do.
He couldn't leave since he had to wait for Jota to come back.
Maybe he should go to the Dream Crystal Plain and check it out.
But before he could do so, Laplace's voice reached his ears. "I just checked. This room full of crystal clusters seems to be an ancillary space created deep inside the city."
An ancillary space was similar to an interlayer space, but it didn't exist in the void. Instead, it was attached to reality.
It was an ancillary space attached to the Crystal City.
"What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing. But since this is an ancillary space, I don't think the aura emitted from here will reach the outside world."
Angor looked at Laplace in confusion. He didn't understand what Laplace was talking about.
Was he going to do something big in the Crystal Cluster Space?
Laplace shook his head. "I mean, if you use a Mystery item here, the Mystery aura it emits won't attract attention from the outside world."
