It was a tall and slender Crystaleye being.
His attire was completely different from the other Crystaleye beings.
He was wearing a coffee-colored wide-brimmed hat with a wide brim. The curved edges of the hat gave off a sense of design. He was wearing a long dress of the same color as the hat but with a thinner gold color. A simple knot was tied around his waist, giving him a lazy and unrestrained look.
He was wearing a pair of high heels with brown spots on them. The slender soles of the heels made crisp sounds when they stepped on the marble floor.
The man's attire was quite stylish.
It was not just his attire. His body was also like a willow branch swaying in the wind. He looked thin but very elegant.
Is he Moretta?
A question popped up in his mind, but he quickly denied it.
Moretta's name contained "Ta", which meant he was a man. According to Crystaleye traditions, only those with "Da" in their names were female.
Usually, Angor could not tell the gender of a Crystaleye being just by looking at their appearance.
But the man in front of him, from his attire to his slender figure, was definitely a woman. So, he should be a Crystaleye lady, right?
Since it was a lady, it could not be Moretta.
Maybe he was Moretta's assistant?
While Angor was thinking, the elegant lady had already arrived in front of them.
She was taller than most Crystaleye beings, at least two and a half meters tall. Angor usually only reached her chest.
Luckily, Crystaleye beings did not have human sexual characteristics. They would not feel offended even if someone stared at their chest.
"Good evening, honorable guests."
The newcomer bowed slightly and looked down at them with curiosity and curiosity. Its voice had an obvious feeling of porcelain, full and lustrous.
Angor and Laplace nodded politely in response.
"May I ask a question? Where did Mister Napoli go? " It looked behind Angor and Laplace as if it was trying to find the person who disappeared into thin air.
Before Angor could explain, the crystal eye guard who led them here spoke first, "Mister Moretta, Mister Naboli received a message on his way here and left for now."
"Message? Leave? "Moretta's eyes flashed with contemplation." Did something happen? "
Earlier, he saw Napoli, Angor, and the others entering the elevator through the eyes of his crystal puppet.
The elevator was an enclosed space.
Now that the other party had suddenly disappeared from the enclosed elevator, it meant that he had teleported away.
The inner space of the Bubble Workshop was reinforced by the Cave Dragon. It was difficult for ordinary space teleportation to break it. Naboli must have used the Dragon Scale to teleport away.
Normally, Napoli would not use dragon scale teleportation. This was because there was a fixed upper limit to the spatial energy in the dragon scale. The more it was used, the less it could be used.
Now that Napoli used the dragon scale teleportation, something urgent must have happened.
This piqued Moretta's curiosity.
The guard hesitated for two seconds before he asked, "Can I … tell you?"
Angor nodded. It was not a secret anyway.
He was more curious about the fact that the "elegant lady" in front of him was actually Moretta herself.
The guard quickly explained what happened in the elevator to Moretta.
"Elder Kong Ta sent a message saying that the color of Mirror Ghost's Bubble Workshop has darkened for no reason …" Moretta's eyes gradually darkened. When he heard Mirror Ghost's name, his tone clearly carried some fear.
After a long moment of silence, Moretta muttered in a low voice.
"Now is the time for trouble. Let's hope nothing bad happens in the Embryo Factory …"
Moretta spoke to himself and looked at Angor and Laplace.
It … no, "he" should be used now.
He had never met Angor and Laplace before. But Napoli clearly told him that he would take the person in charge to take a look at the workshop.
He did not know who the person in charge was, but if Napoli was here to receive them personally, it must be someone he could not imagine.
However, who was the one in charge of these two?
Moretta really wanted to ask, but he felt that it would be rude to ask who was in charge so rashly.
Angor seemed to have read Moretta's mind. "I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Angor, and this is Laplace. We're both from 'Mirror of Dreams'."
When Moretta heard this, he immediately understood.
"Mirror of Dreams" appeared out of nowhere during this routine gathering of many races. On the main stage, "Astrologer Graypnir", who represented "Mirror of Dreams", appeared as the finale and introduced the Logger.
At that time, not many people cared about it.
But now, almost the entire White Sun Mirror Domain was mobilized. A large number of Embryo Factories were built overnight to create Logger Embryos.
Clearly, "Dream Mirror" had become completely popular. From an unknown small organization, it had become a giant in the blink of an eye.
Moretta could understand this.
He had logged into the Dream Crystal before, so he knew a thing or two about it.
From a certain point of view, the Logger and the Dream Crystal were like a second life.
Also, the Logger might be the only solution to the disaster.
Because of this, even if no one knew much about "Mirror of Dreams", they still respected the organization because of the Logger.
When Angor mentioned that he and Laplace both came from "Mirror of Dreams", Moretta no longer cared about being the person in charge.
They both came from "Mirror of Dreams", so they deserved respect.
"Esteemed guests from" Mirror of Dreams ", it is my honor to have you in my workshop." When Moretta first met Angor, he only bowed politely. But now, he directly bowed to Angor, which was enough to show the change in his mind.
Angor didn't expect his identity as "Mirror of Dreams" to be so useful. He only told Moretta that he came from "Mirror of Dreams" so that Moretta wouldn't worry about his identity. And it worked very well.
"No need for that. We're just here to check on the Embryo Factory. We went to the warehouse earlier, and now we're here to check on your workshop. Do you mind if we take a look at your workshop? "
Moretta nodded without hesitation. "Of course not. Please, follow me."
Moretta turned around and walked to one side of the hall.
There was a blazing fireplace here. Above the fireplace was a half-length portrait of Moretta.
He lifted the drawing board and rotated a gear on the back of the painting three times to the left, then two times to the right. Finally, he pressed a button and added his bow-tie accessory on the painting.
In the next second, the fireplace slowly rotated.
A circular water mirror was revealed behind the fireplace.
According to Moretta, his workshop was behind the water mirror … After he finished speaking, Moretta stepped into the mirror first.
Angor and Laplace followed him. As soon as they went through the mirror, Angor realized that it wasn't a mirror space. It was just a hidden entrance to the workshop behind it.
When they arrived, they arrived at a dimly lit stairwell.
Through the dim light on the wall, they could see that it was a snake-shaped stairwell. They couldn't see the bottom yet.
"The workshop is at the bottom," said Moretta.
"Can I ask a question?" Angor asked.
Moretta seemed to have guessed what Angor wanted to ask. "Sir, do you want to know why the workshop is at the bottom?"
"Yes. And why is it so secluded?"
Moretta lowered his head and spoke in a gloomy tone, "There's no special reason. It's just a personal hobby."
Moretta continued walking forward as he spoke, "I've always liked to stay in narrow and secluded spaces since I was a child. The more secluded, the more I like it.
"To me, a secluded place is my free space."
When he was young, Moretta would dig holes under his desk, behind his cabinet, or even under his bed to create hidden spaces.
He would then decorate them with all kinds of toys and colorful lights, which would make him very happy.
Angor also wondered after hearing Moretta's explanation. A hidden space from his childhood?
He also had such a space when he was a child. He called it his secret base, which Jon helped him build. Behind the flue of the stilt house, there was a small iron door, which led to a small space less than 1.3 meters tall.
Angor usually had to bend his body to move in that place, and he would feel dizzy after taking a few steps.
However, he liked his secret base very much. It was filled with books, and he could secretly read his extracurricular books through the small holes on the ceiling.
This kind of secret base and hidden space, in fact, many children had similar plots. For children, living in a narrow space would give them a sense of boundary and make them feel safe.
However, as they grew older, this mentality would slowly change. They might even dislike narrow and secluded places more and more.
Angor did not dislike seclusion because he grew up.
However, he did not care about hidden spaces as much as he did when he was young.
"I'm different from other people. The older I get, the more I like hidden spaces. Also, I like to create all kinds of mechanisms to make my secret spaces more hidden. "
As Moretta spoke, Angor also recalled what they went through on their way here.
Whether it was the space where the golden scissors statue was hidden, the living area, the hanging well in the yard, or the water mirror behind the fireplace … all of them were hidden spaces that were triggered by various mechanisms.
From this, Angor could tell that Moretta was really addicted to hidden spaces.
"That's why I built my workshop at the bottom. In my mind, the more secluded a place is, the safer it is."
Angor did not comment on this. For normal people, a workshop should be built in a place with ventilation, and underground was definitely not suitable. However, for supernaturals, as long as they were strong enough, they could build their own workshops in the depths of the void.
For example, alchemists built their alchemy workshops in the interlayer between planes.
The stairs seemed to be endless, but they stopped after a few steps.
"This is actually the bottom."
At this point, Moretta's gaze shifted to a stairwell that led downwards not far away.
"That's fake."
"No need to go further. If we keep going, we'll enter a cycle. We'll randomly appear in the upper stairwell and enter the forest below. "
"This is the real bottom. My workshop is hidden here."
Obviously, Moretta also created a small trap at the entrance of his workshop. He might not be able to use it in his lifetime, but the existence of the trap gave Moretta a sense of security.
Moretta walked to one side of the stairwell.
Under the light of the wall lamp, he knocked on a brick below.
A hidden door was immediately opened.
They walked through the door and found themselves in a large space that was as bright as day. This space was comparable to the living area above. There were buildings everywhere, and there were even floating canals similar to the one in Tranquil Town.
A large number of crystal eye clansmen were working here.
Crystal puppets were moving materials or finished products into the canals, allowing the water to carry them into deep pits and into hidden hanging wells.
This place was different from the workshop in his mind. It was more like a small town built around a workshop.
And the workshop was located at the center of the town.
It was a guild building with a scissor-shaped top floor, surrounded by all kinds of floating ribbons and printed cloth.
Moretta explained, "I don't think of myself as a craftsman. Apart from being a designer of secret rooms, I'm also a fashion designer."
"I'm here to make artifact embryos for survival, and also for salvation."
Deep down, he did not consider himself a craftsman. He was forced to become one to deal with the upcoming disaster.
"A week ago, I never thought about becoming a craftsman. I was even prepared to dedicate my life to fashion design."
"Later, when I heard about the upcoming apocalypse in the Sun Mirror Region, and when Elder Konta asked me to become a temporary craftsman, I didn't change my mind."
"Because I wanted to spend the rest of my life with clothes and scissors."
"Why did it change?" Because of the pressure? "
Moretta shook his head. "The only reason it changed was because I went to the Dream Crystal …"
At this point, Moretta's eyes were somewhat misty as he looked into the distance.
"In the Dream Crystal, I saw my idol … Senior Han Da."
Han Da? Angor and Laplace were surprised. Wasn't this the first batch of resurrected natives they sent into the Dream Crystal not long ago?
And Han Da was someone they knew. She was not only the designer of the Rare Treasure Museum, but also the designer of Rabbit Town.
"I saw Senior Han Da, who had passed away a long time ago. She became a designer again in the Dream Crystal, and she began to build buildings on a large scale … It really shocked me."
"So, the Dream Crystal's existence isn't just to deal with disasters and save the unfortunate citizens who have died. It also allows people to keep dreaming. Even if they die, they can still fulfill their dreams when they were alive. "
"At this moment, I've understood."
"My so-called betrayal doesn't matter at all."
"Because even if I die, I can continue my pursuit in the Dream Crystal!"
"Whether it's creating my own hidden space in the Dream Crystal, or building my own clothing empire, the Dream Crystal is enough to carry my dreams."
"If so, even if I temporarily become a craftsman, it doesn't count as betrayal, because I won't really die. I will eventually return to the right path."
Moretta bowed deeply to Angor and Laplace. Without the "Dream Mirror", he couldn't fulfill his dreams and see his idol.
However, Angor had a different understanding of Moretta's words.
Angor felt that Moretta was a very stubborn person.
Maybe Moretta also wanted to contribute to his people, but he felt that "betrayal" was not good for his own dreams.
However, the appearance of the Dream Crystal had given him an excuse.
It allowed him to convince himself.
Even without this "excuse", Angor believed that Moretta would find other excuses. It was just that the Dream Crystal was a better "excuse".
