The spirit of the giant city traded the Scarlet Armor for the right to acquire a level-4 treasure from the Crystal City Treasury.
As the name suggested, the Crystal City Treasury was a collection vault built by the Crystal Eye Race.
It contained a large number of treasures recognized by the Crystal Eye Race.
These rare treasures contained all kinds of things. There were books that contained secret knowledge, treasures from various worlds, and even mysterious secret treasures.
The treasures in the Crystal City Treasury were divided into six levels.
The value of the treasures increased according to the number. Level-1 treasures were the least valuable, while level-6 treasures were the best.
The spirit of the giant city gave Angor the right to acquire a level-4 treasure. It was still far from the most valuable level-6 treasure, but it was already the highest level of treasure given out in many years.
Level-4 treasures were extremely valuable even among the Crystal Eye Race.
Ordinary people would never see one in their lifetime.
Even if the elders of the Elder Council wanted to borrow it, they would have to have great achievements as a prerequisite before they were qualified to write an application.
Even if they wrote an application, it was unlikely that it would be approved.
Although a level-4 treasure was still far from the best level-6 treasure, it was already the highest level the spirit of the giant city could give out.
Angor already learned about the classification system of the Crystal City Treasury from the spirit of the giant city.
However, as a non-resident of the Mirror Realm, he did not have a clear idea about the different levels of treasures.
Therefore, Angor was about to reject it again.
But the spirit of the giant city seemed to have read Angor's mind and said, "Don't be so quick to refuse. There are still many treasures from humans in the Crystal City Treasury."
Jota also added in a small voice, "The Crystal Eye Race and humans are two different races after all. The best treasures of humans are not necessarily valuable to us."
The other's honey, the other's arsenic.
In other words, Angor might be able to find the best treasures of humans in the Crystal City Treasury.
Jota continued, "Besides, the Crystal City Treasury doesn't only contain human treasures. There are also many otherworldly treasures collected by us, such as the Book of Stars."
After Jota said this, he closed his mouth.
Angor did not realize it at first because he had never heard of the Book of Stars before.
At this moment, Laplace suddenly asked, "Is it the Son of the Stars' Starry Sky Book?"
Jota nodded. "Yes."
Laplace frowned and fell into silence.
Angor finally realized that he was being too presumptuous. He didn't like Scarlet Armor, and that was only limited to himself.
But now, he wasn't just representing himself. He was also representing the entire Dream Mirror.
Apart from himself, the Dream Mirror organization also had Laplace and her Three Hour Double.
Angor could reject Scarlet Armor, but there might be other people who liked it. Angor directly rejected Jota on behalf of himself, but he forgot that there were other people behind him.
For example, he didn't even know what the Book of Stars was, so he didn't really care about it.
But looking at Laplace, she obviously understood the value of the Book of the Starry Sky. From her expression, it could be seen that she was tempted.
He could reject the book, but he couldn't do so on behalf of Laplace.
He felt very guilty about it.
Previously, when faced with the Scarlet Armor that Jota had given him, he should have discussed it with Laplace before making a decision, instead of acting on his own.
Maybe I should apologize to Laplace?
As he thought about it, Laplace suddenly asked to talk to him in private.
Jota nodded and retreated to the side.
Laplace summoned an invisible barrier around herself and Angor. She then gave Angor a meaningful look.
Angor quickly created a Spirit Bond to connect the two of them.
As soon as the Spirit Bond was reestablished, he quickly apologized to Laplace with a guilty look on his face.
Laplace didn't know how to react. She didn't even say anything.
After hearing Angor's explanation, Laplace finally understood what was going on.
She chuckled in her mind and shook her head. "No need. If I'm interested in Scarlet Armor, I'll contact you.
"For example, I'm very interested in the 'Starry Sky Book', so I took the initiative to contact you."
She didn't contact Angor before, which meant she didn't care about Scarlet Armor either.
It didn't matter what Angor did.
But if Laplace really found something interesting, she would definitely tell Angor about it, just like now.
Angor felt a little better after hearing Laplace's explanation. But he also understood that Laplace was his friend, so he didn't mind.
But if it was someone else, they might have some other ideas.
Most of the time, acting on one's own was considered rude.
"What's this Tome of Stars?" Angor pondered for a moment before asking again.
"It's a series of books written by a Son of Stars," Laplace explained. "I heard there are 13,000 volumes in total. The contents of each book are different, and they record different types of the Starry Dome. "
Son of Stars? Starry Sky? What's that? Angor didn't know what to say.
"Son of Stars is the author's pseudonym. No one knows who he really is. But I heard that he came from a special race. "
"Oh, right. The Son of Stars isn't a creature from the Mirror Realm. He used to be active in the origin world, but he wasn't a human.
"As for the Starry Sky …" Laplace paused. "You can think of it as all knowledge related to the Starry Sky. Different Starry Sky Forms correspond to different points of knowledge."
"Oh …" Angor nodded.
He didn't really understand it, but he guessed it had something to do with the collection of astrological signs.
The collection of astrological signs was a very mysterious thing. It was similar to the "fate" theory of divination. People without talent couldn't understand it even if they studied it for decades.
Of course, Angor didn't think he had "no talent". But even if he did, it would take more than a few sentences to understand the basics of astrology.
Therefore, he maintained his silence at the appropriate time and did not delve deeper into the matter. Instead, he asked, "Does Gleipnir want the 'Book of the Stars'?"
Laplace nodded. "Yes. The Book of Stars is like a holy bible to astrologers."
There were 13,000 volumes of the Book of Stars, which seemed like a lot. But these volumes were distributed across almost all general planes.
If a single volume was given to an individual, it would be considered a great treasure.
As for Gleipnir, as an astrologer, she didn't have a single volume.
Because of this, when Jota threw out the Starry Sky Book, Laplace immediately understood that Jota's bait was a straight hook. The target was Dream Mirror's external spokesperson — Gleipnir.
And Gleipnir took the bait.
Laplace was frowning because he was communicating with Gleipnir telepathically. When Gleipnir heard about the Book of Stars, she immediately expressed her desire. "I must get it!"
However, it wasn't up to her to decide whether she could get the book or not.
After all, she only had one chance to get the treasure.
If Gleipnir got the book, no one else would have the chance to choose.
That was why Laplace wanted to discuss this with Angor.
Angor didn't hesitate. "It's fine. I'll give it to Gleipnir this time."
It was a way to make up for his previous regret.
Besides, Gleipnir was the one who stood in the limelight during this time. The development of the Dream Crystal was thanks to Gleipnir.
Of course, Angor was willing to help Gleipnir in this regard.
Since Angor agreed, Laplace did not refuse. Most of the time, friendships were built on the basis of debt.
The more he cared about it, the further he would push Gleipnir away.
"It's a deal, then."
After confirming the situation, Laplace removed the barrier.
"How did your discussion go?" Jota sensed it as soon as the barrier disappeared. He controlled the spider shell to walk forward and ask.
He didn't say anything. Instead, he let Laplace decide.
"How many copies of the Book of Stars do you have?" Laplace asked.
"Only one," Jota replied.
Laplace was a little disappointed, but he didn't have to worry about the distribution of the Book of Stars.
Laplace continued, "What grade of treasure is the Book of the Starry Sky?"
When Jota heard Laplace's question, he immediately knew that it was a success.
At the same time, Jota sighed in relief. A "success" meant that the "problem" between them was resolved. However, Jota didn't know that there was no such thing.
"The Book of Stars is a level-4 treasure," Jota answered calmly.
A level-4 treasure meant that they could choose one right away.
"Are you going to choose the Book of Stars?" At this moment, the giant city spirit, who had been silent all this while, asked, "If so, I can directly send the Starry Sky Book over."
As the spirit of Crystal City, the spirit of the giant city could easily send the book over from the treasure vault.
Laplace glanced at the spirit but didn't make a decision right away. "Can we go to the treasure vault?"
Laplace still preferred the Book of Stars. However, having the spirit of the giant city send the book over might be convenient, but it would also reduce his knowledge.
If he could directly go to the Crystal City's Treasure Vault to take a look, this trip would not have been in vain. At the same time, he could also broaden his horizons.
"Of course," the spirit of the giant city said.
After that, the giant city spirit on the crystal cluster light screen slowly shifted its gaze to Jota. Jota understood and stepped forward. "I'll take you to the treasure vault now." Angor was a bit taken aback.
Angor was a little surprised. "So fast?"
Angor looked at Jota. "There's no need to rush. We can talk about the Undead Crystals and Dream Crystals first."
"It's fine. We can talk while we walk," Jota said.
Jota was being so proactive because he didn't want them to change their minds. If he could solve the "problem" between them as soon as possible, he would do it as soon as possible.
Since Jota and Laplace didn't object, Angor had no choice but to go along.
…
He was planning to talk to Jota about what they thought of the Dream Crystals on their way to the treasure vault.
As Jota said, "we can talk while we walk".
However, they didn't even have time to "walk".
Jota brought them in front of the crystal screen, and the giant city spirit drew a familiar hexagram symbol on the crystal screen.
Lightning flashed.
They were teleported away.
When Angor regained his footing, he heard Jota's voice. "We're here. That's the treasure vault of Crystal City — the Museum of Rare Treasures."
Angor opened his eyes and saw that they were inside a giant ice cave.
There were rows upon rows of crystal buildings in the cave.
At this moment, they were at the top of an uninhabited tall building. Not far below them was an extremely resplendent crystal palace.
People were coming and going in front of the palace.
Not only were there members of the Crystal Eye Race, but there were also people from other races. Based on the ratio of their numbers, the majority of them were foreigners.
"Is that the treasure vault of Crystal City?" Angor was a little confused. Shouldn't a treasure vault be a forbidden area?
Even if it wasn't a "private area", it should at least be a "forbidden area".
Why did this place look like a museum with people coming and going?
Wait, a museum?
Angor suddenly remembered that Jota mentioned something about this place. Museum of Rare Treasures?
Angor looked back.
Jota and Laplace were nearby, but the spirit of the giant city wasn't here.
"Museum of Rare Treasures?" Angor looked around. "Isn't this a treasure vault?"
"The treasure vault of Crystal City is called Museum of Rare Treasures," Jota explained.
"That's not the name. What I want to know is, is the treasury in Crystal City open to outsiders?"
Jota seemed to know what Angor was thinking. "The Museum of Rare Treasures isn't completely open to the public. It's only open to a limited number of people. Those who are allowed to come here are all invited by the leaders of their races."
In other words, only the core members of each race were allowed to visit the Museum of Rare Treasures.
"Also, the Museum of Rare Treasures isn't open to outsiders. Only treasures below level-3 are shown to outsiders. Also, only the outer parts are shown here. If there's knowledge or books involved, the inner pages won't be shown.
"Treasures below level-4 are kept in the secret vault. Even Crystal Eye Clansmen can't enter them without permission."
Angor nodded in understanding.
It was understandable if they were only showing level-3 treasures. This was similar to showing off the Crystal Eye Clansmen's wealth in front of other races.
"I'll take you inside," Jota said. "But please wait for a moment."
Jota took out a crystal shell from his pocket and patted it on his chest.
The giant crystal shell that had disappeared earlier once again shrouded Jota's body.
Angor wasn't surprised. Jota was the Crystal Eye Clansmen's Prophet after all. Jota had to be prepared when he was outside, especially in a place like the Museum of Rare Treasures where outsiders gathered.
Jota returned to his giant form and asked everyone to follow him.
Jota jumped down from the tall building and flew toward the Crystal Palace — the Museum of Rare Treasures.
Both Angor and Laplace quickly followed them.
