With the help of the bunny girl, Angor soon found the "spotted deer" she mentioned.
According to the rabbit girl, Spotted Deer was almost 12 years old. However, when Angor saw her in person, he realized that she was actually three or four years younger than her actual age.
She had a ponytail and some freckles on her face, but she was very cute.
She was also very skinny, like a small bean sprout.
However, compared to her stunted appearance, she was quite outgoing. She did not feel shy at all when she saw Angor. Instead, she jumped around and greeted Angor.
Angor did not know what the rabbit girl said to her, but Spotted Deer's eyes were full of curiosity and excitement.
He had to admit that Spotted Deer's lively personality reminded him of a rabbit. Or … a deer that ran around randomly?
Perhaps it was because of his cute personality that he was able to move the introverted bunny girl?
Angor greeted Spotted Deer with a smile. He looked up and saw a thin reed wrapped around Spotted Deer's hair band.
The information about the wonderland instantly appeared in his mind.
When he finished reading the information, he was a little surprised.
He already heard about it from the rabbit girl, but he was still surprised when he saw the property of the "Reed of Heart".
[Wonderland Item: Reed of Heart]
[Item of Little Treasure Tower. This was a magical reed. As long as you bit one end of it in your mouth, you would be able to let everyone within a ten-meter radius hear your thoughts. ]
[Additional Ability: Voice — Amplify your own thoughts and let others hear your thoughts. ]
[Additional Ability: Split — The reed can be split into two. Split lasts for ten hours. After splitting, the skill will enter cooldown for one hour. ]
This was a multi-skill Immortal Land item.
The last time Angor saw a multi-skill item like this was Miao Miao's "Wonderland Building: Miao Miao's Detective Agency".
However, Miao Miao's Tomorrow Town dungeon was very difficult, so it was not surprising that she could get a multi-skill item.
While Spotted Deer's Little Treasure Tower might be very difficult to clear all hundred levels in one go, but she only cleared one level and got a dual-skill item. Angor was quite surprised.
Was the item reward from Little Treasure Tower really this good?
Or could it be that Spotted Deer didn't take the usual path to clear the monster levels and had completed a hidden quest, which was why he was rewarded with a dual-skill Wonderland item?
He did not know the details, but it was not important for now.
The most important thing was the effect of the Reed of the Heart.
According to the description, as long as someone had a Heart Reed in their mouth, everyone within a ten-meter radius would be able to listen to the thoughts of the item user.
The effects weren't hard to understand, but … how would one define the language of one's heart?
For example, a native speaker of Chinese who had never been exposed to other languages would definitely express their thoughts in Chinese instead of English when they were thinking about something.
If other people could hear his thoughts, they would also hear it in Chinese.
If someone didn't understand Chinese, they wouldn't be able to understand what he was thinking, right?
Therefore, even if he gave the Reed of Heart to the tattooed man, no one would be able to understand him if his thoughts were still in that unknown language.
The bunny girl shook her head. "It's not the same. It's hard to explain. Just listen and you'll understand."
When the rabbit girl said this, she winked at the spotted deer.
Spotted Deer immediately understood and nodded.
Under Angor's gaze, the deer untied the reeds on its belt and held one end in its mouth.
As soon as the reeds were bitten, Angor suddenly heard a voice.
"Big brother's cat ears are so cute! I want to rub them!"
"Aaaah! Big brother can hear me! Will you let me rub them?"
"Cat ears are moving! So cute! I want to rub them even more! "
"Speaking of which, why do you have human ears when you already have cat ears? Which pair of ears do you use to listen to voices? "
Angor did not know what to say.
Leaving the deer's strange thoughts aside, Angor realized that his thoughts could not be expressed in words.
Spotted Deer's thoughts directly jumped into the minds of the people around him, not into the ears of others.
Perhaps when Spotted Deer spoke in his mind, he used the Common Language. But when his thoughts were heard by others, it was a kind of spiritual communication.
It seemed that this kind of communication was not limited by the language used.
To confirm this, Angor also used the Heart Reed.
When Angor bit the Heart Reed, he began to express his thoughts in his mind. However, he was not speaking in the common language. Instead, he was using Chinese.
"Can you turn your head around, Spotted Deer?"
Angor gave a command in his mind. If Spotted Deer could understand him, she would definitely do as he said.
This was also a test to see if the voices could be heard in different languages.
Soon, Spotted Deer heard Angor's voice. She looked a little confused, but she still followed Angor's instructions and turned around.
Angor's eyes lit up when he saw what the deer was doing.
"Can you raise your right hand, Spotted Deer?
"Can you take a step back, Spotted Deer?
"Can you pinch your right cheek with your left hand, Spotted Deer?"
One command after another was given, and Spotted Deer was able to complete them quickly.
During this process, Angor used not only Chinese, but also Grue Town's dialect, Jotun, and even Demon's language.
Although the language used in his mind was different, Spotted Deer was able to follow his instructions and complete them.
Obviously, Spotted Deer did not know so many languages. She was only following Angor's "thoughts" and performing some harmless actions.
At this point, Angor realized that the Heart Reed did not restrict the language of the voices. Or rather, the voice it allowed others to hear was actually a kind of "thought wave".
Whatever he thought, he would understand.
This was a mental communication that was not restricted by language.
Angor was now certain that he only needed to give the Heart Reed to the tattooed man, and the communication would be completed.
With that in mind, Angor used the Heart Reed one last time to answer Spotted Deer's question.
"I'm a human, so I'm using human ears when listening, not cat ears.
"As for the cat ears on my head, they're illusions. They don't have real bodies. Unfortunately, you won't be able to touch them even if I let you. "
Angor walked to Spotted Deer and crouched down, asking her to touch the cat ears on his head.
Spotted Deer didn't expect Angor to come to her and crouch on the ground without caring about his image. He lowered his head so that Spotted Deer could touch his cat ears.
In Spotted Deer's opinion, Angor was a big shot in Rabbit Town.
She was just expressing her thoughts because she could not control her emotions.
She did not expect Angor to accept her request. Was such a big shot really willing to listen to her little thoughts?
Spotted Deer quickly thought about it. She was both surprised and touched. But she was still a child, so she quickly forgot about her emotions and felt curious and happy.
Really? Can I touch the cat ears?
Although Angor said it was fake, Spotted Deer still couldn't help but look at the fluffy cat ears that were moving around.
She reached out a trembling hand and tried to touch them.
Ugh …
He didn't touch anything, only some soft hair.
Spotted Deer's expression instantly drooped. "Really … no."
Angor chuckled. "Now you know that I wasn't lying, right?"
Spotted Deer pouted and nodded.
Seeing how disappointed Spotted Deer was, Angor thought for a moment and snapped his fingers. A cloud of illusion mist floated into the room from the balcony.
"Meow!"
With a series of meows, the Illusory Mist began to struggle and transform at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, it turned into a cute little tabby cat.
While Spotted Deer was still in shock, the kitten slowly moved to her feet and rubbed its head against her feet.
The real, furry feeling made the spotted deer's eyes reveal an unprecedented surprise.
"This is …" She looked at the kitten and then at Angor.
Angor chuckled. "It's an illusion created by an illusion, so it's also fake. But because of the difference in the illusion, it can be touched. But it can only exist for one day. "
Spotted Deer did not care whether the kitten was created by an illusion or not. She crouched down and held it in her arms and gently stroked it.
"You can touch it however you want for one day. Don't worry, it won't bite you. "Angor chuckled." Consider it my payment for lending you the Heart Reed. "
As a matter of fact, with Angor's illusionary abilities and the large amount of nightmare aura in the Dream Crystal, he could easily create an illusion kitten that could last for a long time.
But he did not do so in the end.
Books, houses, and even furniture could be made to last forever because they were all inanimate objects.
However, a living creature like a kitten, especially one that accompanied a child, could easily become the child's emotional and spiritual support.
Angor hoped that the kitten could be a real living creature instead of a cold illusion that only worked according to "rules".
That was why he had set the time limit of one day for the illusion kitten.
This way, no matter how much Spotted Deer loved the kitten, she would not have to spend too much time on it.
After all, feelings needed time to grow.
Besides, with the kitten gone, Spotted Deer would not have to worry about not being able to play with another cat in the future. The Dream Zoo was going to open soon, and Rabbit Town would definitely have some magical creatures coming.
Even if Spotted Deer could not get a cat from the Dream Zoo, Gleipnir still had a black kitten.
She should be able to play with it for a few days.
With that in mind, Angor waved at Spotted Deer. "I'll just borrow the Reed of Heart for a few days. I'll return it to you later."
Spotted Deer's mind was completely focused on the little tabby cat. He waved his hand carelessly. "It's okay, big brother. I don't usually use the Reed of Heart. You can borrow it for as long as you want. "
The Heart Reed's function, at least for the current Spotted Deer, was not very useful.
However, things would change in the future.
Once the various races swarmed into the Dream Crystal, everyone would have their own opinions, and the Reed of the Heart would be able to shine brightly.
After saying goodbye to Spotted Deer, Little Red, and the rabbit girl, Angor quickly went downstairs with the Reed of Heart.
Soon, he reached the first floor. After passing through the crowded hallway, he entered the main hall.
The city spirit and Jota were already online. From their conversation, Angor could tell that they had already sent people to ask for help from other races.
However, they did not receive any useful replies yet.
After all, even a "prophet" like Jota could not tell the language of the tattooed man. It would be very difficult to find a suitable translator in such a short time.
Jota and the city spirit heard the commotion in the hallway. They looked up and saw Angor entering the hall.
At first, they were looking forward to it.
However, when they saw that Angor came in alone without a "language expert", their spirits slowly sank.
While they were still feeling disappointed, Angor took out the "Heart Reed".
Angor asked them to take turns touching the reed so that they could learn more about it.
When everyone had a general idea of what the reed could do, Angor explained its origin, as well as the little experiment he did with Spotted Deer.
"So you're saying we can read the tattooed man's mind by holding the reed in our mouths?"
The one who spoke was the spirit of the giant city. She curiously went closer to observe the reed silk. She did not find any place that was "refined". It was just ordinary reed silk. However, the information about the fairyland was so "strange".
She had heard about fairyland items before, but this was her first time seeing one with her own eyes.
She was surprised by the information she saw in her mind.
So this is the Dream Crystal's … fairyland system?
Angor nodded. "Yes."
Jota was a little confused. "Even if the reed can help us read the tattooed man's mind, how are we supposed to communicate with him?"
Angor told them about his experiment with Spotted Deer, which confirmed that there was no language restriction.
However, it only allowed them to listen to the voice of the user.
If other people wanted to talk to the tattooed man, they would have to use their mouths, and the man would not understand them.
"The second ability of the reed is called 'Split'. It can split into two reed threads, one for the tattooed man, and the other for us. That way, we can communicate with each other."
However, only the owner of the reed thread could talk to the tattooed man.
The others could only listen.
Jota thought about it and felt that this was fine. If there was anything he wanted to ask, he could just ask the owner of the reed thread and have him ask the owner.
It was still a little troublesome, but it was better than not being able to talk at all.
"Let's give it a try then." Jota was still a little doubtful about the reed's effect. After all, he had never tried a fairyland item before.
Just the effect of the Reed of the Heart alone was a bit like a "secret treasure".
Could a fairyland item really help them achieve something they could not do in the real world?
Angor knew what Jota was thinking, but he did not care. He could only understand things after experiencing them.
As for whether the reed worked or not, he would know after trying it out.
