What was the shape of a space crack?
Hearing this question, 004 was stunned for a few seconds. What kind of shape could a space crack be? It was just an irregular crack.
Did human wizards figure out a way to describe the shape of a space crack?
004 complained in his mind, but as a good businessman, he didn't show it on his face. Still smiling, he prepared to describe the shape of the space crack.
Next, he flicked a grayish-white ball of mist toward 004.
Under 004's puzzled gaze, Angor explained, "This is an unowned illusion node. You can use your spirit power … or your consciousness stream to control the illusion node and change its shape."
004 sensed the mist and made sure it wasn't dangerous. Then he began to manipulate it.
It was his first time manipulating an illusion node, but he got the hang of it quickly. Since the illusion node was ownerless, he could easily transfer the image into his mind.
It only took him a few seconds to recreate the shape of the space crack.
Even the giant bloodshot eye that flashed behind the crack was presented in an illusion.
Angor looked at the crack in the illusion with a frown.
As expected …
It was an enlarged version of the crack.
At first glance, this spatial crack looked very ordinary. However, unlike other spatial cracks, it did not have obvious spreading patterns. Instead, it was a smooth scratch.
It was as if someone was using a fingernail to scratch the space.
And this scratch was exactly the same as the one on the back of Angor's soul.
Now, Angor knew what he was looking for.
The green mark, the eye, and the space crack all had something to do with Angor.
But he didn't know why this happened. Maybe the monster was related to the Nightmare Realm? Or maybe the power of the Nightmare Realm was strong enough to affect the appearance of the monster?
Angor nodded at 004 and put away the unowned illusion nodes.
A second before the illusion node disappeared, he saw the bloodshot eye.
He already guessed that the eye belonged to an "old friend".
As for whether the "old friend" was "Her Majesty" or "Queen", Angor didn't really care.
But now, he was more inclined to believe that the "old friend" was a "queen".
He was not trying to tell anything from the shape of the bloodshot eye. The eye itself was already deformed, and Angor couldn't see anything wrong with it.
His guess was based on the space crack he saw earlier.
The wound on Angor's soul was caused by the "queen". Therefore, the one behind the spatial rift that looked exactly like the wound was most likely the "Queen".
Of course, this was only a guess. No one knew if he was right or not.
The Nightmare Realm's waters were too deep.
Angor himself was also influenced by the Nightmare Realm, which made him more mysterious. Angor didn't know if this was a good or bad thing.
He could only take it one step at a time.
…
"Do you have any ideas after experiencing the Eye of Vigilance? Would you like to rent it for a while? "
Of course, it was 004 who asked.
He was still curious about Angor's mind monster, but he also knew that even the owner of the Eye of Vigilance might not be able to tell him anything about it. Besides, Angor was just a guest who came into contact with the Eye of Vigilance for the first time.
Therefore, 004 calmed himself down and returned to his role as the manager of the shop.
Angor considered for a moment. "I've never seen anything like this before. I'd like to rent it for a while. But I'll have to wait for a while. "
Angor was quite interested in the Eye of Vigilance.
He was interested in studying it, whether it was the unique mind monster setting or the Mystery information it contained.
However, he decided not to rent it for now.
The reason was simple.
Most people rented the Eye of Vigilance for its "good and evil" effect. But Angor was different. For him, the Eye of Vigilance wasn't much better than his Super Intuition.
Using the Eye of Vigilance required the user to release Mystery energy. His Super Intuition, on the other hand, could silently sense the target's emotions.
In terms of accuracy, it was not as good as the Eye of Vigilance. But in terms of application, Super Intuition was better.
Therefore, Angor didn't rent the Eye of Vigilance for its effect.
He wanted to study it.
But Angor had too many things to do right now. Even if he rented the Eye of Vigilance, he would have to wait for a long time to study it.
The rental fee for the Eye of Vigilance was not cheap, and it was calculated by the day.
Even if Angor didn't lack crystals, he didn't want to waste them like this.
Of course, that was if the owner of the Eye of Vigilance was willing to sell it instead of renting it. Angor was willing to pay for it. However, he asked 004 and was told that the owner didn't want to sell the Eye of Vigilance.
Angor had to give up for now.
Besides, if he rented the Eye of Vigilance back, Laplace and the others might misunderstand that Angor didn't trust them. This was one of the reasons, but it wasn't the main one. And it could be explained.
In the end, Angor came to the conclusion that he wouldn't rent the Eye of Vigilance for now.
It would be better to rent it for research later when he was ready to break through the Mystery level.
004 was a little disappointed about Angor's decision, but he didn't interfere. He still smiled and told Angor that he could continue to serve Angor if Angor needed anything.
Angor didn't need anything for now. He only said that he wanted to talk to Xi Luo alone.
After bidding farewell to 004 and leaving the sealed chamber, Angor and Xilo returned to the guest room they were in earlier.
Angor wanted to talk to Xi Luo alone to finalize the contract for the character card rental.
Angor was going to take out a piece of parchment and sign a professional contract.
However, Xi Luo waved a hand and handed the character card "The Star of Tomorrow" to Angor. "No need for that. A verbal contract will do. I trust you, mister. "
As far as Xi Luo was concerned, Angor's suggestion for the character card was already a great fortune. She wouldn't lose anything even if Angor didn't return the card.
Besides, she used the Eye of Vigilance to check Angor's attitude and was sure that he didn't mean to harm her.
Because of these factors, Xi Luo was willing to trust Angor and lend the character card to Angor even without a formal contract.
Angor could see Xi Luo's sincerity … but he had his own principles.
"I don't trust my own character sometimes. So, it's better to sign a contract. "
In the end, Angor made a formal contract with Xi Luo.
Renting the character card "The Star of Tomorrow Who Stands Proudly at the Peak of Mirror Mountain" for 100 crystals a day.
Xi Luo didn't want to charge at first, but under Angor's strong persuasion, she agreed.
Xi Luo looked at the contract on the table and felt a little embarrassed.
"Like I said, it's free …"
Angor chuckled. A hundred crystals a day was almost free for him.
Xi Luo scratched her hair in embarrassment. "How about this? I'll try to make 'Traveler of Shadowy Planet' in the next two days, and I'll lend this card to you as well. This time, I won't charge you a single cent. "
Of course, Angor wouldn't refuse.
According to his guess, that card should be like "The Star of Tomorrow Who Stands Proudly at the Peak of Mirror Mountain," which could give him inspiration.
As for charging, it was not a big deal.
Next, Angor chatted with Xi Luo about character cards for a while before he bid farewell to the boy.
Angor walked out of Mirror Shop No. 4 and looked around.
He was on the 3900th floor.
There were obviously more customers on this floor compared to the 3929th floor where the meditation museum was located. Moreover, among these guests, there was a high proportion of energy life forms.
It had to be known that on the other floors, energy and gaseous lifeforms were rare.
However, on this floor, there were clearly more such unique life forms than on other floors.
Angor guessed that they were attracted by the Mirror Clan. The Mirror Clan was a stream-of-consciousness lifeform, which meant that they were closer to the flow of mind in a way. Most energy lifeforms were based on the flow of mind.
In the past, Angor would definitely wander around here and check out the Mirror Clan's base.
But now, he had collected a large number of spirit materials. Plus, the Inspiration Storm helped him understand the connection between "Path of Soul Link" and "Spirit Seeker". He couldn't wait to go back and study runes.
Angor found a quiet corner and opened the entrance to the Silver Forest Space.
After returning to the Silver Forest Space, he immediately went into closed-door research.
…
Time went by slowly.
Angor was excited to begin his research. But ten hours later, he was lying on the ground like a dead fish.
He underestimated the difficulty of creating a new magic array.
The Inspiration Storm did help him make a big step forward in his study of rune horns. Part of the model in "Path of Soul Link" was similar to "Spirit Seeker" rune horns.
Using this as a starting point, Angor began to study rune horns.
After several hours of research, Angor did find something useful, but only "something".
He thought that as long as he could figure out the structure of spells and cantrips, he could use it as a foundation to create new rune horns.
After some research, he confirmed that part of cantrips and spells could be turned into rune horns.
While he was getting excited, he realized that he didn't know how to simplify the structure.
The spirit model of cantrips and spells was very complicated. Apart from the main structure, there were also tens of thousands of branch structures.
Although the structure of the Demonic Rune Horn looked rather complicated, it was child's play compared to the structure of a spell.
For example, one was the painstaking work of a master painter, while the other was the simple drawing of a newborn child.
In terms of structure, there was no comparison at all.
For example, the "Spirit Seeker" rune horn was a simplified version of "Path of Soul Link".
What Angor needed now was to find the cantrip and spell structures he needed, then simplify them to create a new rune horn.
In the end, he would create a new magic array.
Angor's idea was good, but it turned out to be a waste of time.
When he really wanted to do it, he realized that he was being too naive. There were many problems that he needed to solve. For example, how to choose the cantrip and spell he needed? How to determine which structure to use in the spell? And how to simplify the structure?
He didn't know how to solve the first two problems yet, but he was confident that he could solve them with time.
As for the last one, "simplifying the structure", he had no idea where to start.
The structure of a spell was too complicated. Which part should he simplify? He had no idea.
Ten hours later, he was still stuck at the step of simplifying the structure.
There were only two solutions he could think of. First, he could find a master who studied runes. It would be best if he could learn from someone who had created new runes before.
This method would definitely solve the problem. However, as far as Angor knew, most runemasters used old rune horns and created new runes. He never heard of anyone who could do that.
Maybe there was one, but it was too far away.
He wouldn't be able to find one in a short time.
The second solution was to find a way to simplify the structure himself.
It wasn't impossible. Angor just needed to find more rune horns similar to "Soul Seeker", which could be simplified using spell structures.
Then, he could study the common characteristics of these rune horns and derive a simplified formula.
It was a stupid method, but it was also effective.
However, it would take a lot of time.
Also, looking for rune horns similar to "Soul Seeker" would require at least four digits, maybe even tens of thousands of them, and he had to classify them into different types.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to derive a simplified formula.
If he wanted to continue on this path, he would have to spend a lot of time and energy on it.
Thinking about the endless road ahead of him made him feel dizzy.
He simply lay on the ground and sighed.
About half an hour later, Angor sat up again.
Being depressed wouldn't solve the problem. He had to keep pulling himself together.
Personally, Angor still wanted to continue on the path of creating new runes, but time waited for no one. Unless he could experience more inspiration storms, he might be able to shorten the time needed to simplify the formula.
If he wanted to keep getting inspiration, he could use the card "The Star of Tomorrow" to help him. But he didn't want to use it so soon.
After some consideration, he decided to put the magic array research aside for now and try alchemy.
