Angor's clone mentioned that when Shiruda entered the castle for the first time, she didn't listen to the butler's instructions. Instead, she went around him and searched the hall.
After looting, Shiluda obtained a rope, a flower, and a glass of water. All three items were special offerings used for the ritual.
At that time, after Shiluda obtained these items, she did not trigger the "Spirit Circulation Ceremony".
Could it be that these three items were ownerless?
Obviously not.
Since they were placed in the hall, they must have an owner, and the owner must be Ghost Rider.
So why didn't Spirit Conversion Ritual happen when Shiruda took them?
Was this a trap to lure her into a trap?
So that Shiruda could get something first and lower her guard?
"You look troubled. Are you worried about Gleipnir's divination? "
Laplace's voice reached Angor's ears.
"It has nothing to do with divination. I just found something strange."
Everyone at the table looked at him curiously. "Strange? What is it? "
Angor did not hide his thoughts and told them what he found.
Everyone fell into deep thought. What Angor said did sound strange. Why didn't the Spirit Conversion Ritual happen when Shiruda took the items in the hall?
Laplace pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if it's to lower Shiruda's guard.
"However, in my opinion, there are two possibilities."
Everyone looked up.
Laplace continued, "Either Knight's Castle has no owner. Or the owner doesn't care about these things. "
The so-called "Knight's Castle has no owner" meant that the butler had lied. Ghost Rider wasn't the owner of the castle. It was precisely because the castle had no owner that the public items that Shiruda took from the castle were considered ownerless and wouldn't activate the Spirit Conversion Ritual.
But … Angor did not think it was very likely.
Angor did not know why. He just felt that the definition of "owner" was too broad.
According to the butler, Ghost Rider was the current owner of the castle.
Even if Ghost Rider had relied on strength or trickery to forcibly occupy this castle, in terms of ownership, he could still be called the owner of the castle.
Unless the "owner" here was the creator of the castle.
As for Laplace's second scenario, "the owner of the castle doesn't care about what Shiruda took away", it actually meant that the owner of the castle and the "NPCs" in the castle weren't in cahoots.
Was that possible?
Angor believed so.
This was because Shiruda had overheard a conversation between two servants in the mirror game. The content of their conversation was very vague, but they mentioned the butler.
"The butler … is a traitor …"
"Killing him … is against the rules …"
From this short conversation, it was faintly revealed that the servant and the butler did not seem to get along. They might even want to kill the butler.
Ghost Rider and the butler were on the same side.
Otherwise, why would the butler send Ghost Rider's greetings every time someone entered the castle?
If the butler was on the same side as the owner of the castle, and the other NPCs wanted to kill the butler, it meant that the NPCs were on the same side, and the butler and Ghost Rider were on the same side.
Angor now knew that the NPCs would tempt the intruder to use an item that already had an owner in order to trigger the Spirit Conversion Ritual.
Compared to the NPC faction, the Butler Knights' actions might be the exact opposite of the NPCs' actions.
In other words, the butler and Ghost Rider were probably doing this for the good of the intruder.
Angor's analysis made everyone think for a moment. The shadow said, "So the butler had good intentions when he asked the intruder to meet Ghost Rider?"
"It's possible."
Because of that, the butler knights did not stop the intruder from taking the offerings in the hall, nor did they trigger the Spirit Conversion Ritual.
It made sense.
"Of course, it's not all good intentions. It could be something more sinister."
The NPCs and the butler knights did not work together. Maybe the butler knights were on the opposite side of them, or maybe they were even more evil.
As for which one it was, they had no way of distinguishing it now.
Unless they tested it again.
The shadow clone said, "How about this? I'll send a message to Granny Dragon Crow and ask her to try meeting Ghost Rider and see what happens."
Angor almost wanted to say, "Isn't that too much trouble?"
But on second thought, the Shadow Clone walked directly in the shadows. It would probably only take a few seconds to reach the Blood Calamity from here.
It would only take a blink of an eye for her. With this in mind, Angor did not try to stop her.
Without any hesitation, the doppelganger turned around and disappeared.
About two minutes later, the shadow clone returned to the tea table. "I've already told Granny Dragon Crow. According to her, she has actually started letting that human try to get in touch with Ghost Rider recently."
The lucky and unlucky human had been wandering around the castle for the past few days. He did not go for anything. Instead, he was eavesdropping.
For example, Siluda heard some NPC conversations like "butler … traitor …".
Siluda thought these conversations were "clues to solve the case".
But when she entered the mirror game herself, she realized that these conversations were actually the NPC's murmurs.
NPCs had to play their roles well, and they were not allowed to do anything that did not fit their character settings. However, murmurs or conversations with their companions were all in line with their characters' settings, so it was reasonable.
The conversations of these NPCs, or their mutterings, might not be important, but some might very well be related to some secrets of the castle.
If she could piece together all these clues, she might be able to uncover the truth behind the castle.
This was why Granny Dragon Crow asked the human to eavesdrop.
The shadow said, "According to what the human eavesdropped, he found that most of the people in the castle are trying to assassinate the butler.
"It seems that the butler is stopping them from doing something.
"Now it seems Angor was right. The butler is probably trying to lure the intruders to use an item to activate the Spirit Substitution Ritual."
The shadow paused and continued, "Granny Dragon Crow also had this feeling. When I mentioned it, she immediately decided to try to get in touch with the butler and Ghost Rider.
"But I don't think we can get any results right away."
After all, Granny Dragon Crow was currently in the Blood Calamity. Siluda and the human from the southern region were staying in the research base.
It was not that Granny Dragon Crow did not want to take them with her. But if they did, they would be suppressed by the Blood Calamity's talent.
Granny Dragon Crow's bloodline level was very high, so she did not need to worry about the Blood Calamity's talent. But Siluda and the human from the southern region were different.
The shadow said, "Also, you're interested in the creator of the mirror game, right? I told Granny Dragon Crow about it, and she said she will help. Once she finds something, she will inform me through the Blood Calamity ritual. "
As long as the "player" did not touch any item or ritual offerings after entering the mirror game, everything would be fine for now.
Granny Dragon Crow would try her best to let the human search for the creator of the mirror game without triggering the Spirit Substitution Ritual.
Angor nodded. It would be better if Granny Dragon Crow could find something.
…
While waiting for the result, Angor went out of the Silver Forest Space alone.
Laplace told him that Prophet Jota was already here.
Angor did not want to keep Jota waiting for him, so he left the Silver Forest Space to meet with Prophet Jota.
Jota handed over a translucent crystal to Angor.
Angor scanned it with his spirit feelers and found it to be a space container.
The space wasn't big, about the same size as his bracelet. It was filled with all kinds of saint corpse crystals, about ten thousand of them.
According to Jota, these crystals came from "military cemeteries" and "civilian cemeteries".
Eighty percent of them were soldiers of the Crystaleye Race, while the other twenty percent came from civilians.
However, Angor was sure that most of the saint corpse crystals from civilian cemeteries belonged to people of high status.
After all, most of them would not go to cemeteries. Instead, they would be used as building materials on the walls of Crystal City.
Of course, this was not absolute.
Many ambitious Crystaleye Race members would choose to become the foundation of Crystal City. They would protect their loved ones even if they had to die.
After putting away the crystals, Angor chatted with Jota for a while and returned to the Silver Forest Space.
When he returned to the tea table, he received a message from Gleipnir.
"The divination is over. Gleipnir got the information." It was Luigi who spoke with a strange expression. It seemed he was surprised by the result.
Not only Luigi, but also Angor's clone, who was sipping his tea, also stopped his hand in the air and narrowed his eyes.
Laplace, on the other hand, was still as calm as ever.
"Surprised?" Angor asked curiously.
Luigi nodded deeply, "It's not an accident. Rather … it's very unexpected. Because Dresser Edward, the one who took over Siluda's body, is at — "
Luigi did not mention the place. He only pointed a finger at his feet.
Angor was surprised. "You mean … he's in Crystal City?!"
Luigi nodded again. "Yes. He's at Crystal City right now."
Perhaps it was because he did not know how to use the Crystaleye Race's power, he did not hide anything along the way. Gleipnir even saw his recent movements through divination.
With a wave of his hand, Luigi created an illusion out of thin air.
He was not good at creating illusions, but this one did not require too many details. It only consisted of a dark void and two glowing dots.
One of the dots was shining brightly like a crystal. Without a doubt, it was Crystal City, where the Crystaleye Race resided.
The other glowing spot was not far away from the Crystal City. It was just nearby.
This light spot didn't have any markings, but Luigi, the virtual shadow, and Laplace all focused their attention on it.
Luigi pointed at the dot. "Edward didn't go to Crystal City first. He came here first."
Luigi looked at Angor with a smile. "Do you know where this is?"
Angor looked at the dot in the air and recalled how he came here. He quickly constructed a space coordinate system in his mind and spoke without hesitation.
"I don't know."
Angor did not know much about the White Sun Mirror Domain. Besides, he used the mirror corridor on his way to Crystal City.
In the cloister, he could only see a part of the scene in the void. He couldn't see anything deeper.
Even if he created a space coordinate system in his mind space, it would be useless.
Luigi blinked. "Take a guess."
Angor frowned at Luigi's words. If Luigi asked him to guess, it meant he knew where this place was.
Did he see it before? Or was he there?
"Pippi Castle? Or … Hot Gold City? "
These were the only two places Angor had been to. However, both of them were inside the Eternal Mirror Sea. Edward had just taken over Siluda's body, and he did not have the body's memories. He should not have been able to avoid being eroded by the Eternal Mirror Sea.
Luigi shook his head and continued to keep them in suspense. "Not these two places. But I can tell you something. You haven't been there before. But you must know where they are. "
How would I know where they are if I haven't been there?
Laplace spoke up, "Don't bother. It's just a normal space. There are no mirror spaces. But Parrot left from there."
"Parrot left …" Angor muttered. "You mean Parrot created a tunnel using the Mirror of Finesse?"
Laplace nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, this Edward Edward must have the ability to sense the weak points of space and find space tunnels."
He came to the White Sun Mirror Domain from Gloom Mirror Domain because he found a space overlap point that led him to the White Sun Mirror Domain.
And now, he was heading toward the place where the parrot had left him. Clearly, he had sensed that there was a passageway leading to the outside world.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the void for so long.
It was a pity that the parrot had used the Condensing Mirror to leave, and Laplace had absolute control over the mirror channel opened by the Condensing Mirror. Without her permission, no one could enter.
