The densely packed Crystal Puppets gathered together, thus … forming a black encirclement.
He didn't notice it at first because it looked like a Bubble Storage. Because Bubble Storage was black in color.
"Let's go check it out."
Angor and Laplace exchanged a glance and quickly reached a consensus. Together, they dashed toward the encirclement.
Soon, they arrived at the black encirclement.
While looking at the puppets, Angor noticed something strange.
Currently, the Crystal Puppets in the manufacturing area were roughly divided into two groups. The first group was the Crystal Puppets transported by the various large workshops. They usually stayed in the various large workshops.
Now, these crystal puppets seemed to have been grounded and were unable to leave the workshop.
The second group consisted of puppets that were used to transport materials to different workshops. They usually traveled between the crafting area and the smelting area.
At this moment, the black encirclement was formed by the Crystal Puppets transporting the materials.
The reason for this was that the center of the encirclement was the Mirror Banshee's Bubble Workshop.
So …
If Angor wasn't mistaken, these puppets were controlled by Elder Konta or Napoli to keep the Mirror Banshee's Bubble Workshop at bay.
The reason why there were only puppets for transporting materials instead of puppets inside the workshops was probably to avoid disturbing the craftsmen in the surrounding workshops.
When Angor and Laplace approached, a puppet stepped forward to stop them.
"The area ahead is temporarily closed. Please go around —" The puppet spoke in a mechanical voice.
However, before it could finish, the puppet's voice changed a little. "Ah, it's Mister Angor and Miss Laplace?"
Although the other party's voice was still inorganically mechanical, because the way it paused had changed, there was obviously a bit of spirituality.
Clearly, someone was manipulating it from behind the scenes.
"Napoli?" Angor asked in a small voice.
The puppet quickly nodded. "Yes, it's me."
Angor sighed in relief after receiving a positive answer. If Napoli could control the puppets to stop people from approaching, it meant the situation wasn't too bad.
"Are you still inside the Mirror Banshee's workshop? What's going on? "Angor asked.
The puppet hesitated. "It's a little hard to explain. If you don't mind, you can come in and take a look, sir."
The encirclement formed by the puppets slowly opened up, allowing Angor and Laplace to enter.
Angor didn't hesitate and entered the encirclement with Laplace.
As soon as they entered the encirclement, the gap closed up as well.
The interior of the encirclement instantly became dark and gloomy.
However, the dim light did not affect their vision. They could clearly see that there was nothing in the area except for the mirror banshee's Bubble Workshop.
The inside of the encirclement was empty and dark.
As for the only bubble workshop, its outer shell was still a rich red, and it was so red that it was almost purple.
It meant the Mirror Banshee hadn't woken up yet... maybe she had gone even crazier..
As he observed the bubble workshop, a ripple suddenly appeared on the surface of the purple-red bubble, and a door appeared in the center of the ripple.
Without a doubt, it was the door that led to the interior of the Bubble Workshop.
Napoli must have opened it for them and motioned for them to enter.
Angor and Laplace didn't hesitate. They flew to the door and stepped inside.
With a series of spatial transformations, they had already walked from the outside of the dim encirclement into the inside of the bright bubble.
Angor didn't know where they were. However, it seemed to be a square. That was because they couldn't see anything because of the mist around them.
But judging from the movement of the mist and the flow of air around them, Angor was sure that they were in a spacious area. At least, it wasn't smaller than the square on the first floor of Moretta's workshop.
"The mist here smells like ghosts." Laplace's voice rang in his ears.
"You're saying … the Mirror Banshee created the mist?"
Laplace nodded. "I think so. But the Ghost Domain's power is running around in the mist, which means no one is controlling it."
This also meant that the Mirror Banshee was being restrained. Otherwise, the Ghost Domain's power wouldn't be running around like this.
It was most likely Elder Konta or Napoli who came here to deal with the Mirror Banshee.
"Although we've entered the interior of the workshop, how should we proceed now …" The fog with the power of the Ghost Realm would affect the vision of the mind.
It wasn't a big deal, but they still couldn't find their way in a short time.
After all, they never came to this workshop before. They didn't know the specific layout of this place, and they didn't know where Napoli and Elder Konta were.
Just as they were hesitating about whether they should walk around and see if they could find any traces of people, a familiar power came from the fog.
"Divine Rune Power?" Laplace immediately sensed the energy fluctuation.
Soon, Angor noticed something strange as well.
A ball of fire came out of the mist and hovered in front of them.
Soon, the ball of fire broke up into countless fiery runes and formed a line of words in the air.
"Follow me, please."
Without a doubt, Napoli was the only one who could use Runes to create words.
The words hovered in the air for five seconds before they scattered into countless fiery sparks. These sparks regrouped and formed an arrowhead.
The arrowhead was pointing at the deeper part of the mist.
Clearly, Napoli was using this method to guide them forward.
Since there was an arrowhead to guide them, they didn't wait any longer and stepped into the mist.
As they moved forward in the fog, the arrowhead made of flames followed them and reminded them of the correct direction according to their progress.
About two minutes later, they stopped in front of a flight of stairs that led downhill.
It wasn't a long flight of stairs. There were only about 20 steps, and at the end of the stairs was an open door.
When they reached the door, the fiery arrowhead disappeared into it.
"It seems that we've arrived," Laplace said softly and walked towards the door.
Angor quickly followed him.
Soon, they stepped through the door one after another.
The mist around them disappeared as soon as they stepped through the door, and their visibility was greatly improved.
At the same time, the temperature was rising.
Not far from them was a lava lake that was glowing orange. The rolling waves of fire and the bubbling magma had raised the temperature here to an unbearable level for ordinary people.
Perhaps because of the lava lake, the aura of the Ghost Hunter here had been evaporated, and there was no mist at all.
"Mister Angor! Lady Laplace! "
Napoli's voice came from above them.
Angor followed the voice and saw Napoli floating above the lava lake while stepping on layers of fiery waves. Due to the intense heat and the glaring orange glow of the lava, Angor didn't notice Napoli until now.
Now that Napoli spoke, Angor was able to locate him.
Soon, they arrived at the edge of the lava lake. Laplace created a light barrier around the two of them.
Under the protection of the barrier, they could move freely above the lava lake. As long as they didn't go down, they wouldn't be affected by the high temperature.
Angor and Laplace walked to Napoli's side on the surface of the lava lake.
When they got closer, Angor noticed that Napoli had been hovering above the lava lake because he was using the lava below to replenish his fire energy.
Next, he used his fire energy to cover a pitch-black stone.
The stone was completely covered by the fire energy, but Angor could still sense a large amount of Ghost Domain aura escaping from the stone.
The reason why they hadn't sensed the Ghost Hunter's aura was that the Ghost Hunter's aura had been evaporated by the surrounding lava waves.
"As you can see … I can't leave the lava lake because I have to suppress it."
Napoli sounded a little helpless.
Using fire energy to suppress the stone was effective, but it couldn't completely block out the aura of the Ghost Domain.
This was why Napoli came to the lava lake and used the high temperature to completely evaporate the stone. This was to prevent the Ghost Domain aura from leaking out and causing an uncontrollable disaster.
Besides, the lava lake had an endless supply of fire, which could replenish his energy.
This was why Napoli couldn't leave the lava lake. Even when Angor and Laplace arrived, he couldn't greet them in person.
"What's this stone?" Angor looked around in confusion. "Also, where are we? Where's the Mirror Banshee? "
"This is where the Mirror Banshee makes the prototype," Napoli said.
In other words, this was a real workshop.
Compared to Moretta's well-developed workshop, the Mirror Banshee's workshop was extremely simple. Apart from the lava lake, there wasn't even a single smelting tool.
However, the Mirror Banshee's prototype was much better than the others.
From this, it could be seen that in the world of Transcendents, alchemy and blacksmithing did not depend on the quality of the tools used. Excellent tools were indeed beneficial to the refinement process, but talent and ability were the most important.
Of course, this was a digression.
Back to the main topic.
Napoli continued, "The Mirror Banshee is still inside the workshop. Elder Konta and I have suppressed her. Now, Elder Konta is still suppressing the Mirror Banshee in the isolated space below.
"As for me, I tried to refine this forbidden stone to seal the aura of the Ghost Hunter inside …" Speaking of this, Napoli looked a little embarrassed. "However, after I came here, I found that I couldn't refine it."
Fire can only suppress it, but not refine it. "
However, he couldn't back down now.
The forbidden stone would continuously release Ghost Domain aura, and when a large amount of Ghost Domain aura accumulated, it would create a disastrous Ghost Domain.
The Tool Embryo Factory was the center of attention and the hope of all races. If Napoli took the stone out of the workshop, there would be great trouble.
As for teleporting?
That wouldn't work either. The factory was filled with Quintera's spatial energy.
This could make the factory easier to control, but it also had a disadvantage. Quintera's spatial energy wasn't at the top level.
It couldn't completely suppress the Ghost Domain aura inside the stone.
The consequence was that the Ghost Domain aura would affect the spatial energy.
If it was only the collapse of space or the shattering of space, there was still hope to suppress it. However, if the Ghost Domain aura caused the spatial coordinates to deviate and connect to the Dark Mirror Domain or other dangerous places, the factory would be doomed.
As a result, Napoli couldn't leave the lava lake or teleport away with the stone. He had to wait here.
Since he couldn't refine the stone, he had to find a way to release the Ghost Domain aura bit by bit so that the lava lake would slowly get used to it.
Angor didn't comment on Napoli's words right away. Instead, he asked again, "So, what exactly is this stone? You haven't answered me yet."
Napoli spread out his hands and said, "I don't know what the Forbidden Stone is. I just casually named it Forbidden Stone …"
No wonder Napoli didn't explain. This was the first time he saw it.
"Then why is it here?" Laplace asked.
Napoli shook his head. "I don't know. But I found it on the Mirror Banshee. She must have brought it here."
"That's why the Mirror Banshee couldn't regain her sanity for so long. It was also because of the forbidden stone that when we found it, it was constantly releasing the aura of the Ghost Hunter. "
"The Mirror Banshee can absorb the Ghost Domain aura to strengthen herself. But if she keeps absorbing the aura without time to digest it, it will affect her sanity. "
The Mirror Banshee was affected by the Ghost Domain aura released by the stone, which caused her to lose her sanity.
Now, Napoli and Elder Konta were suppressing the mirror-wielding demoness and Forbidden Stone respectively. In fact, they were trying to separate them.
They wanted to see if the Mirror Banshee could regain her sanity and ask her if she knew how to seal the stone.
"… So, you're waiting here for the stone to evaporate and for the Mirror Banshee to wake up."
Napoli nodded, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Didn't you think about asking for help?"
Napoli: "I've thought about it, but it's not the most critical time yet …"
If the Mirror Banshee could find a way to seal the Ghost Domain aura inside the stone by using the lava lake, or if the Mirror Banshee woke up.
Then this matter would be easy to deal with.
Asking for help would only embarrass Napoli, and Napoli still cared about his reputation.
