Silver Forest Dimension, beside the Black Forest.
The temporarily constructed illusion library was still brightly lit. Even from afar, Angor could still see people moving around the library's windows.
If he wasn't mistaken, all of Laplace's avatars were reading in the library.
Angor didn't want to pry. After making sure the library was safe, he turned his attention to Ai Dehua's hairdresser.
Ai Dehua seemed to have familiarized himself with the environment of the shop and began his hair-making work.
However, there were many processes involved in making hair.
Ai Dehua was currently working on one of them — a head mold.
Ai Dehua carefully used plaster, white wax, bright glue, a carving knife, paint, and brushes to create the head mold.
He didn't use any supernatural power during the whole process.
Ai Dehua's work reminded Angor of alchemists who went to mortal art schools to study.
They studied sculpture, painting, design, color mixing, and aesthetics.
These alchemists, who were patient enough to learn from mortal masters, often did not use their extraordinary powers in the process of learning.
Instead, they did everything by themselves.
For example, if they wanted to carve a statue the size of a small hill, they could complete it in an instant with their extraordinary powers. However, they did not do so. Instead, they used hammers, chisels, and carving knives to carve the statue bit by bit. Even if it took them months or even years, they would not hesitate and focus on carving it slowly.
It wasn't that they couldn't use supernatural power. They just didn't want to.
Compared to using supernatural power to carve a statue in one go …
Alchemists preferred to carve the statue slowly, step by step.
It was a form of spiritual training, as well as a pursuit of art.
Angor saw something similar in Ai Dehua's "pursuit". Ai Dehua could use his spirit power to carve the head mold, but he didn't. Instead, he used his own hands to fill in the shape of the head mold.
Moreover, when he was sculpting the head model, Ai Dehua's eyes were focused and serious, as if he was completing a great task.
Maybe this was Ai Dehua's artistic pursuit?
Angor did not object to this. He didn't want to pursue such artistic pursuits, but he still respected such "ingenuity".
But …
Ai Dehua, why did you carve my head?!
Yes, Ai Dehua's face was exactly the same as Angor's.
Without a doubt, Ai Dehua's first model was Angor.
Angor did not mind being a model. His current appearance was fake anyway, and it was not his real face. Of course, he did not mind.
What really made him sweat was the fact that he thought about the use of head models.
Let's not talk about the use of the head model for other people, but for Ai Dehua, it was undoubtedly used to carry the wig.
When he thought about how Ai Dehua would put all the wigs he made on his head model, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He wasn't a person who would let his emotions get the better of him, so he contacted Ai Dehua as soon as possible.
Ai Dehua was surprised to hear this and quickly explained, "Sir, you're right.
According to Angor's instructions, Ai Dehua's main mission was to make wigs.
However, Angor only told them that they could choose any type of wig they wanted. He didn't tell them what they were for.
Besides, Ai Dehua did not know who he was going to make the wig for.
After some hesitation, Ai Dehua chose an answer he believed would not be wrong.
It was to make a wig for Angor.
Since Angor told him to do it, and he did not specify anyone, Ai Dehua would make it for Angor.
Since he knew who he was going to make the wig for, Ai Dehua naturally had to carve a corresponding head model, which led to today's situation.
Angor understood that Ai Dehua meant no harm, and he did not tell Ai Dehua who he was going to make the wig for. It was reasonable for Ai Dehua to make such a choice.
However, Angor still did not want his head model to have all kinds of weird hairstyles.
Especially since Ai Dehua's unique hairstyles, apart from custom-made ones, were all … non-mainstream in Angor's opinion.
Just look at the chicken coop on Ai Dehua's head.
Colorful glows, dreamy ice glaze, and all kinds of exaggerated shapes.
It was too much to look at.
Maybe this was Ai Dehua's unique artistic expression, but it was not something Angor liked.
So, in order to prevent his head model from having a non-mainstream hairstyle, Angor forced Ai Dehua to change his head model.
Ai Dehua felt it was a pity, but he still lowered his head and asked Angor what he wanted his head model to look like.
A moment later, an illusion appeared in front of Ai Dehua.
It was a holographic figure of the same size as Angor's.
It was a boy with pink hair who looked about 14 or 15 years old.
Ai Dehua had never seen this person before, nor did he know who he was. However, from his appearance, he seemed to be a human?
"You can use his face as your model."
Ai Dehua did not dare to ask more. He memorized the appearance of the pink-haired youth in his mind and began a new round of head sculpting.
On the other hand, Angor sighed in relief when he saw Ai Dehua destroying his mask.
As for the boy with pink hair Ai Dehua saw just now …
It was the Astral Attendant who was currently staying in Angor's heart.
Angor fished her up from the Sea of Empty Mirrors and suspected that she came from the Haunt World.
There were two reasons why Angor chose the Astral Attendant's face as his head model. First, Angor planned to let Ai Dehua be the Astral Attendant's teacher for a while. Now, Ai Dehua could remember the Astral Attendant's face in advance.
Second, and most importantly, the Astral Attendant did not have the wisdom to protest. He could only accept it. Also, Ai Dehua would be staying in Angor's heart for a while, and he would need a model for his wigs. As a "Hollow", the Astral Attendant was more than qualified for the job.
With everything done, Angor did not pay any attention to Ai Dehua's hair shop.
He looked at the vast sky of the silver forest space and felt a little lost.
He wanted to come out to relax and find some inspiration.
But so far, apart from solving a small problem with Ai Dehua, he did not make any progress in finding inspiration.
He wanted to rely on external stimuli to find the source of "Soul Seeker".
But it did not seem to be enough.
Angor considered and decided to leave the silver forest space and take a look outside.
He was going to buy some materials related to spirit power anyway. If the path of magic arrays did not work out, then he would take the path of increasing the level of his mental strength control.
With that in mind, he took out the broken mirror Laplace gave him.
He injected a small amount of energy into it.
In an instant, an exit leading to the outside world appeared in front of him.
Without hesitation, he leaped away.
As Angor left, Laplace, who was fishing by the lake, suddenly sensed something and glanced at the illusion hut.
He then looked away and returned his gaze to the ripples on the surface of the lake.
With the first successful fishing experience, the second time should be coming soon.
…
Ringed Fortress, Level 3,929.
Angor walked down the stairs that looked like a crystal pavilion.
He looked around.
To his surprise, there was no one on this level.
This place was quite close to the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation's outpost, which was located on the 4000th level. Now that the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation was holding a convention, this place should be packed with people.
For example, Piluxiu's outpost was located on the 5500th level, but all the races came here because of the missing pages. As a result, the upper and lower levels of the 5500th level were all crowded. Angor could not even squeeze through the stairs.
The convention at the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation's outpost should be more important than the missing pages. Shouldn't this place be crowded?
As he wondered, he saw a "tourist" in the corner of his eyes.
They looked very leisurely as they walked back and forth between different shops. Even the White Grass Bakery and Black Tea Rest Shop not far away had people resting comfortably there.
Angor finally understood what was going on.
He knew the inside story, which was why he thought the convention at the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation's outpost was important. But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that the participants were all leaders of different races, and they were talking about the upcoming apocalypse.
Without knowing the truth, they would keep the news from the civilians first.
For ordinary people, they did not feel any sense of danger.
They did not even know that a meeting that would decide the future of the White Sun Mirror Domain was taking place on the 4000th level.
It was not like the missing pages at all.
Everyone knew about the missing pages at Piluxiu's outpost, which was why they all went to the 5500th level. But now, everyone was kept in the dark, so everything was calm.
Even though they were close to the 4000th level, they did not feel nervous at all.
It was understandable why there were so few people on this level.
Back to the topic. Angor came to the 3929th level because this was where he first came to the main venue of the gathering.
At that time, when he and Laplace had just entered this floor, they had been targeted by a peddler from the Glasses Race.
The vendor tried to sell them something.
Back then, Angor did not know much about the races in the White Sun Mirror Domain, so he rejected the vendor's offer.
Now that he had seen the displays on the main stage, he had a better understanding of each race's strength. He now knew that the Glasses Race was the most knowledgeable race about "spirit power" in the White Sun Mirror Domain.
So, he came to the 3929th level.
He wanted to find the vendor from the Glasses Race.
Since the Glasses Race was the most knowledgeable about "spirit power", they might have something related to it.
Even if they did not, they should know where to find spirit power materials.
With that in mind, Angor looked around again to see if the glass-headed merchant was still trying to sell his wares near the stairs.
However, at a glance, there was no trace of the Mirror Clan's merchant.
He thought for a moment and decided to find a nearby Crystaleye patrolling guard to ask about the peddler.
He finally realized why he didn't see any peddlers from the Mirror Clan.
According to the guard, the vendors on the roadside were all illegal. Many of them did not even rent a shop. They only did business in private.
For the organizer, this was not only illegal, but also risky. Also, such speculators would cause economic losses to the Crystal Eye Race.
Therefore, the Crystal Eye Race guards had already started patrolling the area to drive away the vendors.
Now, it seemed to be working well.
As for the Glasses Race vendor, the guard did not know who he was, but he pointed Angor to a shop.
"Do you see that? That shop over there with a pure black signboard and a black cloth covering the windows is a shop owned by someone from the Spectacles Race. If you want to find a Glasses Race vendor, you can go there and ask. "
Under the guidance of the crystal eye guards, he quickly found the shop.
The shop was shaped like a giant semicircular egg.
Just as the guard said, the entire shop was covered in darkness. People could not see inside, and people inside could not see outside either.
From afar, it looked quite mysterious.
However, when Angor came to the shop, he noticed that the signboard seemed to be designed with a special effect of "dark when viewed from afar, but bright when viewed from up close".
When he looked at it from afar, the signboard was completely black.
Now that he looked closer, he saw a row of golden patterns on the signboard.
The golden patterns did not form any characters. Instead, they were strange patterns.
Angor had never seen such patterns before. But when he looked at them, he knew what they meant — Meditation Experience Museum.
It was probably the name of the shop.
If he was not mistaken, the golden patterns were the work of a Soul Master.
Soul Masters were a supernatural class of the Glasses Race.
They had the ability to control the spirit and inscribe special runes. No matter which race they belonged to, no matter what language they spoke, they could understand the meaning of the patterns as long as they saw them.
In a way, the patterns represented the language of the mind.
Language of the mind was common to all intelligent races.
However, even though telepathy was very convenient for communication, telepathy masters were a very rare profession in the Mirror Race. Things were precious when they were rare. It was also very expensive to ask them to come out and carve telepathy.
Even a rich race like the Crystal Eye Race could only use their mind patterns in the Rare Treasures Museum.
"The shop's signboard is made by a Soul Arcanist …" Angor muttered. "This shop must be expensive."
