Veronica didn't know what Angor's gift meant yet. After several excuses, she finally accepted the item and put it inside the pocket of her cloak.
Angor could tell that Veronica was just being polite on the surface.
In her opinion, the two brooches Angor took out were only for decoration purposes.
Angor didn't mind. "You can read the introduction on the display booklet to learn more about the item."
Veronica nodded without hesitation. "Yes, I know. I saw Madam Astrologer's introduction on the main display stand. "
Seeing this, he nodded and headed toward the floating statue in front of them.
Before this, there was a wall behind the floating mountain statue.
But now, the wall was gone, replaced by a dark tunnel that emitted ripples of space energy.
"Honorable customer, the teleportation channel has been set to Little Mirror Shop No. 4 for you. Just walk straight ahead." The corners of the beautiful woman's mouth were about to reach the sky at this time. Even her voice was more tender than before.
After all, the commission from Angor's customized meditation room was enough for her to rest for ten years and still have money left.
Of course, she had to use the softest voice she could when talking to a "rich guest" like Angor.
She looked at the handsome man and the faceless man. Their flattering expressions were even more exaggerated than hers.
"Don't do that."
The beautiful woman blinked. "Huh?"
Angor sighed. "It's nothing. I'll be going."
Without waiting for an answer, he took a step forward and entered the dark tunnel.
Previously, when they were outside, they couldn't see anything in the tunnel. It was pitch-black. However, when they entered the tunnel, they realized that it wasn't dark at all. Although the surroundings were pitch-black, there were plenty of flickering shadows on the pitch-black screen.
These flickering lights and shadows formed a glowing hexagram pattern.
Countless patterns were changing, intertwining, and stretching.
In the end, they formed countless glowing lines.
Under the illumination of these glowing lines, the tunnel was still relatively bright.
He could even see a bright aurora not far in front of him.
If there was no accident, the place where Aurora was located was the exit of this space tunnel.
Instead of going to the exit right away, he stood still and observed the patterns and lines above his head.
"So it's the spirit's ability," Angor said after observing for a while.
Previously, when Jota took them to travel through space in the ring-shaped fortress, there would always be a hexagram pattern. And this kind of hexagram pattern actually came from the giant city spirit's ability.
This space passage also had a six-pointed star pattern. It was estimated that it should be an agreement between the people of the Mirror Clan and the giant city spirit. He asked the giant city spirit to help build a spatial passage.
Now that he thought about it, it made sense.
Now that they were in Crystal City, it was equivalent to being in the body of the giant city spirit. If he wanted to build multiple stable spatial channels in the giant city spirit's body, he could only do it himself.
Angor sighed again when he thought of this.
Ever since the Dalmatian gave him a large amount of spatial knowledge, he was quite interested in any ability related to space. The reason why he stopped was because he wanted to sense if the spatial passage opened by the Mirror Clan had any special secrets, but it turned out that it was opened by the giant city spirit.
The giant city spirit's spatial ability was a talent that could only be used inside its body. Even if Angor could analyze it, it wouldn't be useful.
This was why he had no choice.
Angor sighed and walked toward the aurora in disappointment.
After about ten steps, he reached the aurora's area.
It wasn't because the aurora was close to him. But as he walked toward it, the aurora was also moving toward him quickly.
It was almost as if they were running toward each other.
Several seconds later, Angor was bathed in the aurora's light.
He also saw a familiar object in the center of the aurora — the floating mountain statue.
When he approached the floating statue, the aurora around him quickly disappeared like a faded old photo and turned into a series of walls.
When Angor looked up again, he found himself in a new space.
It wasn't a big space. The floating mountain statue was in the center, and there was nothing around it except for rows of bright lights, which illuminated the space as if it was daytime.
Angor was standing on one side of the statue. As he observed the space, he heard clear footsteps coming from the other side of the statue.
It sounded like … high heels?
When he looked back, he saw a woman wearing a black, pompous evening dress walking out from the other side of the floating statue.
The woman was wearing a black veil, and her brownish-red curly hair was tied up high. Her face was as white as porcelain, and her lips were as red as fire.
But …
Her eyes were replaced by a mirror-like light screen.
The light screen projected a pair of seductive eyes.
However, the eyes on the screen were different from real eyes. At first glance, the eyes looked like they were from a 2D movie, which was in stark contrast to the woman's noble dress.
However, Angor didn't care about the woman's appearance.
More importantly, who was she?
Her overall appearance looked like a Ingit Clan member. The only difference was that the Ingit Clan member's eyepatch was replaced by a long light screen.
However, the style of the projection on the screen was a bit similar to that of the Mirror Clan.
Could she be a hybrid between a Ingit Clan member and a Mirror Clan member?
But weren't Mirror Clan members a stream-of-consciousness race? How could she be a hybrid?
As Angor's thoughts ran wild, the woman in front of him spoke, "Welcome to Mirror Shop No. 4, dear customer."
Angor finally understood what was going on after listening to the man's words.
She was definitely a Mirror Clan member.
She was speaking with her mouth open, but it wasn't her mouth that was speaking. It was the light screen.
Moreover, the voice that came out was also a familiar synthetic sound.
Although the beautiful face, the faceless man, and the handsome man's voices were different, they were all in the same electronically synthesized voice.
The woman in front of him had the same synthesized voice.
Without a doubt, she was a Mirror Clan member as well.
However, this Mirror Clan member's body was more complete than the ones Angor saw before. There was no longer a messy mirror above her neck. Instead, she had a complete head.
"We meet again, dear customer." The woman in the black dress bowed to Angor elegantly.
"Again?" Angor narrowed his eyes. "You're that bearded man?"
The woman didn't mind being called a bearded man. She nodded with a smile. "Yes. We met at the meditation center."
"Oh, right. This is my personal body given to me by the shop." The woman in the black dress pointed at her perfect figure. "Although I prefer the body of a man, it doesn't matter."
"You can call me 408 for convenience." "That's my number in the shop. You can also use it as the name of this body."
"408 … Oh, that's pretty cool." Angor went against his conscience and quickly changed the topic. "So, I'm in Shop No. 4 now?"
408 nodded with a smile. "Yes. This is the Mirror Mountain Hall of Shop No. 4. Well … you can think of it as a teleportation hall. You can teleport to another shop with a Mirror Number from here. "
"Mirror Mountain Hall?" Angor remembered that the Mirror Clan's homecoming was called Mirror Mountain. But the "Mirror Mountain" didn't refer to the "Mirror Mountain" of the country. It was probably referring to the floating mountain statue.
As expected, 408 explained with a smile, "The teleportation halls of all Mirror Shops are called Mirror Mountain Halls. It's a sign of respect to our sacred place, and it's also a reference to this statue. "
All the shops of the Mirror Clan had this floating mountain statue. This floating mountain statue had been made using Mirror Mountain as a blueprint.
Seeing the floating mountain statue was equivalent to lighting up the teleportation point in Small Mirror's shop.
Angor nodded. "So the Mirror Mountain is a real mountain …"
He had originally thought that the Mirror Mountain was just a symbolic symbol, similar to "the lighthouse in the heart," "the other shore of dreams," and "the traveler's Shangri-La." It didn't really exist, but was just an image.
The Mirror Clan was a creature of consciousness after all. They didn't need to live in the real world.
Now that he looked at the statue, he realized it was a replica of the Mirror Mountain. Did that mean the Mirror Mountain was a real mountain?
"Of course, the Mirror Mountain is a mountain. We don't need to live in the real world, but our existence depends on the real world.
"According to our legends, we were born because of a thought of a powerful ancient creature living in the mirror."
In other words, the "mother" of the Mirror Clan came from the real world. Even if they only lived in the consciousness, they would never stop pursuing the real world.
"Whether the legends are true or not, we can't separate ourselves from the real world. The real world is an important place for us. We even look forward to it.
"So, the Mirror Mountain can exist in the consciousness world, but it needs to exist in the real world."
408 paused and smiled. "Besides, how do we communicate with the outside world if we don't have a base in the real world? The Mirror Mountain is our window to the outside world. "
Angor nodded. "I was too narrow-minded."
"No. Many people who come into contact with the Mirror Clan for the first time have the same idea. We can understand. If you have time, you can visit the Mirror Mountain yourself. Everyone is welcome here. "
Angor smiled and nodded. "I'll have my chance."
Without further ado, 408 led Angor away from the Mirror Mountain Hall. He knew what Angor wanted to buy.
About three minutes later, they arrived at a quiet reception room.
There was no one else in the room, but there were already hot tea and several plates of desserts placed on the table. Judging from the shape of the tea set and the food, they were prepared for a human.
It was probably placed here by 408 to welcome Angor.
"Please, have a seat." 408 pointed to a luxurious chair beside the reception table.
They sat down across from each other. 408 quickly took out a round mirror from under the table and handed it to Angor.
The mirror was exquisitely made. There were metal carvings on the edges, as well as strange runes. The surface of the mirror was made of some kind of special glaze. It wasn't very good at reflecting images, but as a "light screen", it could show clear images.
A large number of images were displayed on the mirror.
There were dozens of squares on the mirror, each containing a thumbnail image of a certain material.
Judging from the shape of the thumbnail, these materials were probably the spirit type materials that 408 had found.
Angor randomly tapped on a square in the upper left corner, and the thumbnail image was enlarged to show the corresponding material's image and description.
The whole process was smooth.
It was almost the same style as the one in the display book. Angor didn't even need to ask to know that it was Peluxiu's work.
However, although the operation of the round mirror was similar to that of the exhibition book, it was still a little different from the exhibition book.
Angor felt that the mirror was more like a tablet from Earth.
It didn't have a "holographic projection" function like a tablet, but there was a separate space inside the mirror.
Angor only needed to press the image of the material, and the corresponding material would be taken out from the mirror space. It was very convenient.
Angor had seen holographic tablets from Earth before, but he was still surprised to see such a "tablet" that combined "real" and "online" functions.
It had to be said that Piluxiu was very forward-looking in terms of detail refinement and functional innovation.
Even if they were thrown onto Earth, they would probably be engineers.
He sighed and returned his attention to the materials he was working on.
The material shown on the mirror was a golden cone. At first glance, it looked like a half-finished alchemy product. Even if it wasn't, it should be man-made.
However, according to the description below, it was not man-made. It was the stamen of a special magic plant.
This kind of plant would bloom large golden flowers, and at the center of the flowers was this golden cone, which was also its stamen.
Its name was Thorny Stamen.
Thorny Stamen was not a material, but it still had a certain supernatural effect on its own. When one tried to sense the Thorny Stamen with one's spirit power, one would feel a sharp pain, as if one's spirit power was being poked.
From this, Angor could tell that Thorny Stamen was a material used to deal with spirit power.
It could cause a certain amount of damage to spirit power.
If it was made into an alchemy item, the effect would be even better. It could even penetrate spirit power directly.
Personally, Angor felt that Thorny Stamen was quite useful. However, it did not go well with his goal of studying spirit power control. Still, he added it to his list of items to buy.
He didn't lack Condensed Crystals anyway.
