The mirror space where Ljuno's Graveyard was located was a slice of the real world, so the space inside was extremely sturdy.
Now, it was sealed by the Crystaleye Race.
Inside the Mirror Vault.
"The Mirror Vault has a special seal that prevents the mirrors inside from being taken out. So, I'll have to trouble you to go there yourself. "
With that, Jota opened the door to the Crystal Cluster Space.
There were familiar hexagram runes under the door, which meant it was another teleportation array.
Both Angor and Laplace knew what to do, so they stepped inside and teleported away.
When they regained their footing, they were already inside the Ring-Shaped Fortress.
However, when he looked around, there didn't seem to be many people on this level of the circular fortress. Even the lights at the fence were not on.
If they weren't mistaken, they were still below the 101st level.
Jota also followed the teleportation array to the Ring-Shaped Fortress.
However, he was alone. Angor looked behind Jota and didn't see the city spirit.
Jota explained in a low voice, "The mirror vault is a chaotic maze that requires the spirit of the city to control. Otherwise, it'll be hard to get out. "
The city spirit didn't come with Jota because she had already returned to the core of the Mirror Vault.
Angor nodded. "Shall we go now then?"
Jota didn't refuse. He led Angor to one side of the Ring-Shaped Fortress while explaining the place to them.
"This is the 50th level of the Ring-Shaped Fortress. Because the Mirror Vault is located here, it's also called the Mirror Maze Level," Jota explained. "Usually, only the Maze Guards stay here."
Jota pointed at the Crystaleye Race soldiers around them. These were the so-called "Maze Guards".
The Maze Guards who were pointed out by Jota quietly followed behind them.
Jota explained, "They'll follow you into the Graveyard Ruin later. If you need anything, just tell them."
The Maze Guards bowed to Angor and Laplace. Clearly, they had already received their orders.
Not long after, Jota arrived in front of a building.
This building didn't look very luxurious, but compared to other buildings, it was particularly special … It was a rare non-crystalline building in the circular fortress.
It was made of a mirror, and there were painted patterns on the mirror. It looked like a psychedelic witch's hut.
Jota stopped in front of the door. "This is the entrance to the mirror vault."
Jota looked at Angor and said, "I won't be going with you. I'll let the Labyrinth Guardian guide you. I'll go to the cemetery and get the Saint corpse crystal that Mister wants. "
Earlier, he had a talk with Jota in the Crystal Cluster space, and he hoped that Jota would give him some of the crystals.
The reason why he wanted these Sacred Corpse Crystals was mainly because he wanted to refine a tool that could lock onto the souls within the Sacred Corpse Crystals and use it to recruit people in batches.
Therefore, he needed a large batch of sacred corpse crystals as an experiment.
Jota didn't ask Angor what he wanted the crystals for. As long as the souls could enter the Dream Crystal Domain and become new residents, nothing else mattered.
Jota asked, "Sir, what kind of saint corpse crystal do you need? Is it a talent type or a soldier type? "
"Anything is fine. Even mortals will do." Angor didn't really care about the type of crystal since it was all for testing. However, it would be better if he could get new residents who were capable of carrying out their tasks.
Jota nodded. "I understand. I'll give you 10,000 crystals this time. 80% of them will be soldiers, while the other two will be candidates."
"Alright."
With that, Jota turned around and prepared to leave. However, he suddenly stopped after taking two steps. "By the way, about Prophet Tunita's Saint Corpse Crystal, I will give it to Mister later. However, if you want to obtain Prophet Tunita's Saint Corpse Crystal, you need the unanimous consent of the Elders Council."
"It might take a bit longer. But I should be able to get it done in two days. "
After saying that, Jota bowed one last time before walking into the darkness and disappearing.
The labyrinth guards also saw Jota bowing before he left, so they treated him even more seriously, as if they were afraid of offending him in any way.
"Let's go." Angor nodded to the Labyrinth Guardians and asked them to lead the way.
The Labyrinth Guardians quickly stepped forward and opened the door of the mirror vault.
It was a bright and spacious room without any decorations or furniture. Angor could easily see the end of the room.
At the end of the room, which was also the innermost part of the room, stood a lonely isometric mirror.
The mirror didn't do its job. It couldn't reflect anything. When Angor approached the mirror, he saw a dark vortex spinning in the center of the mirror.
It looked like a bottomless black hole.
"Sir, the mirror maze is inside the vortex," a Labyrinth Guardian said.
Angor already knew what was going on. "So, do we go in directly?"
The Labyrinth Guardians panicked. Two of them even stood in front of the mirror and waved their hands at Angor. "No. We need a vehicle."
"A vehicle?" Angor was confused.
"Yes." The Labyrinth Guardian, who seemed to be the highest-ranking Labyrinth Guardian, explained, "There are mirrors everywhere in the maze. If we don't use a vehicle, we'll get lost in an unknown space."
Angor didn't really understand what the Labyrinth Guardian was trying to say. But since he was told to use a vehicle, he might as well use it.
But did he need to prepare a vehicle himself? Could he use a Gondola?
While Angor was thinking, the Labyrinth Guardian took out a round crystal shell and tossed it into the air.
The shell quickly expanded into a giant crystal ball about five meters wide.
Inside the crystal ball was a floating water surface. Under the illumination of the ceiling light, it was suffused with golden ripples.
"Here's your vehicle," the Labyrinth Guardian said as he opened the door of the crystal ball.
In an instant, there was a buzzing sound as the dozen or so Labyrinth Guardians all spread the crystal wings on their backs and flew into the crystal ball like a swarm of bees.
As soon as they entered, the crystal ball began to distort. Through the transparent shell, Angor could see that the Labyrinth Guardians had all shrunk down. There must be some kind of expansion space inside the crystal ball.
"Sirs, this way please." It was the only Labyrinth Guardian who stayed outside.
Angor glanced at Laplace, who nodded at him and flew into the crystal ball ahead of Angor. Seeing this, Angor flew in as well.
He landed in the crystal ball and stepped on the shallow surface of the water, causing ripples of light to appear.
When the last Labyrinth Guardian entered, the door of the crystal ball closed.
The giant crystal ball began to shrink until it was only about one meter wide. Of course, this was only what was seen from the outside world. For the people inside the crystal ball, there was no change in space at all.
Once the crystal ball reached a suitable size, it flew toward the nearby vortex.
When it passed through the vortex, a blinding white light shone upon it.
Angor closed his eyes out of reflex.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that he was no longer in the small room. Instead, he found himself in a space filled with countless mirrors.
There were mirrors all around, and each of the mirrors glowed with a faint blue light. The blue light would decrease in brightness as it got closer and closer to the mirror. That was why he was sure that they weren't in a mirror room. Instead, they were in a mirror maze with obvious depth.
Moreover, not only was there a maze on the flat surface, but the ceiling above their heads and the floor below were also clearly mirrored corridors. Clearly, it was also a maze.
"Sir, if you walked into the vortex, you would fall into the mirror below. You'll be sucked in as soon as you touch the mirror. "
It was the Labyrinth Guardian who spoke last. If Angor was not mistaken, he was the captain of the Labyrinth Guardians. The other labyrinth guards around him were obviously respectful to him.
"Once you enter the mirror below, you'll be teleported to a random place. No one knows which mirror you'll end up in." The captain continued, "There are more than a hundred thousand mirrors here. You'll probably be trapped to death."
This was why they had to use vehicles to enter the maze. Otherwise, they would be trapped just by touching the mirrors.
"Why are there so many mirrors here? Where is the mirror space we're looking for? "Angor asked.
"I … I don't know." The captain didn't know how to answer. "But don't worry. Prophet Jota already sent us a message. Mister City Spirit will help us clear the way."
Clear the way?
Could it be that the giant city spirit was going to descend into the maze as a guide to open the way?
As Angor pondered, a bright blue light suddenly appeared outside the crystal ball.
By the time the blue light calmed down, the mirror maze outside had completely disappeared.
The crystal ball that carried them was now floating in the dark space. Below the crystal ball, there were numerous mirrors that glowed with a faint blue light.
These glowing mirrors formed a boundless ground.
Several hundred meters away, an irregular mirror was floating in the air while emitting a bright white light. It was the only mirror left behind.
"Mister City Spirit is here!" The captain of the guards climbed onto the surface of the crystal ball and looked at the floating mirror in the distance. He was pleasantly surprised. "That's our target!"
Angor also looked outside in surprise. He thought the "spirit" was going to "lead the way". He didn't expect the "spirit" to shrink the maze into a two-dimensional plane and let their only target float in the air.
As expected of the spirit, who was used to doing big things.
With a clear target in mind, the crystal ball quickly flew toward the mirror in the distance.
It didn't seem like the crystal ball was going to stop at all. It simply rushed into the glowing mirror.
…
When Angor opened his eyes again, he found himself in a long, dark corridor.
There was no one around.
Angor wasn't surprised at all.
Lv Nuo once told him that his graveyard was a ruin that belonged to someone else. The ruin would randomly teleport anyone who was still alive inside.
There was a high chance that the person would be teleported to a certain place, while there was a small chance that the person would be teleported separately.
The reason why Sigma Mata's team split up was that they triggered a small chance event.
So far, Angor had also triggered a small chance event.
But it wasn't a big deal. The hidden space of the ruin hadn't been explored yet, but the main path of the tomb had been marked by the Crystaleye Race.
The marking was very obvious. It was a glowing mirror.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a shiny mirror not far away.
He walked toward the mirror and reached it in just a few steps.
He tapped on the mirror and the room instantly brightened up as if a voice-activated light system had been activated. Angor looked around and confirmed that he was in an ordinary tomb corridor.
There were some paintings on the walls, but they were mostly eroded by the wind. Angor couldn't tell what they were. He could only vaguely see fragments of monsters and blood bones.
Lv Nuo didn't prepare these murals. They were left behind by the previous owner of the tomb. Lv Nuo didn't know what they were. Maybe they were stories from the ancient Ordovician Realm?
But that wasn't important.
Angor turned around and looked at the mirror marked by the Crystaleye Race.
A small map lit up on the mirror. Most of the places on the map were dark. There were only two bright spots. One was a red skull in the center, and the other was a corridor near the skull.
The red skulls represented the main burial chamber.
All the mirror marks left behind by the Crystaleye Race indicated the location of the main tomb. In other words, the main tomb was the core of the ruin.
The other lit corridor led to where Angor was.
"It's not far from the main tomb. Only two corridors away. There are no traps nearby." Angor rubbed his chin. "Looks like I'm in luck."
There was a small chance of teleportation, but the landing point was good. Angor was satisfied.
After confirming his location, Angor looked back at the corridor behind him.
According to Lv Nuo's information, there should be a hidden space about a few hundred meters away. But Angor didn't plan to explore it.
Lv Nuo already asked Jota to deal with the hidden space, so Angor didn't want to bother.
For now, he should go to the main tomb first.
Previously, he had made an agreement with Laplace that if they encountered a teleportation event, they would meet up in the main tomb.
With that in mind, Angor walked deeper into the brightly lit corridor.
He didn't run into any obstacles along the way. Luckily, when he turned into the second corridor, the Spirit Bond that lost its "signal" came online again.
He managed to contact Laplace without much trouble.
This also meant that Laplace was nearby.
