As for the stone paintings, Angor could still see the real memory, but only for a random moment, which was much worse than the Eye of Truth.
However, a stone painting was a consumable item that could be used by mortals. As for the Eye of Truth … only a few wizards could use it.
All in all, the stone paintings were not bad.
They could be considered as super miniaturized versions of the Eye of Truth.
"How many stone paintings do we have in stock?" Angor asked curiously.
"There's only one left. But if you want, we can order one from the grand scholar of Mirror Mountain Academy. According to his feedback, we can produce one stone painting per month. "
"Forget about the order. As for the one in stock … I'll take it."
At first, Angor didn't think the stone painting would be useful to him. After all, its effects were too random. Besides, it was a consumable item. He could only use one stone painting at a time.
More importantly, Angor knew someone who could use the Eye of Truth.
Mister Rein would use it.
Under such circumstances, if he really needed the stone paintings one day, it would be more cost-effective to ask Sir Rhine for help with the Eye of Truth.
Angor didn't plan to buy it at first.
But he changed his mind because he suddenly thought of a way to solve the flaw of the stone painting.
Just like the character cards, he could pull the painting into a Dream Crystal.
Pulling the painting into a Dream Crystal would solve the problem of the number of times he could use it. If the painting was used up, he could just use it again.
As for the "random" problem of the stone painting, he could also use the scroll that could increase his luck.
If he could really solve the problem with the Dream Crystal, he would be getting a miniaturized version of the Eye of Truth for free.
Of course, this was only a wild idea.
He would have to try it in the Dream Crystal to see if it would work.
After putting away the stone painting, Angor continued to look at the other items behind the mirror.
The rest of the items were all priced at seven figures. Angor skimmed through the descriptions. He still couldn't understand most of the content, but their effects were worth the price.
Among them, there were two items that caught his attention.
The first one was called "I'm always invincible when it comes to playing hide and seek".
The name of this product was similar to the full name of the stone painting, "Even a stubborn stone can produce a stream of consciousness." According to Xiluo, the abbreviated name of "When it comes to hide and seek, I will always be in an invincible position" was "hide and seek". It was also the product of the ability of a great scholar of Mirror Mountain Academy.
This Grand Scholar and the Grand Scholar who produced the stone paintings came from the same master.
Perhaps it was because of this that they had the same aesthetic sense of naming.
"Hide-and-seek" had a long name, but its effect could be summed up in one word: a special stream of consciousness invisibility.
He had heard of illusions, optical invisibility, space invisibility, and even the ability to hide in a space-time crack. However, this was the first time he had heard of consciousness concealment.
Since he couldn't understand the description, he asked Xi Luo for help and asked her to explain it in a language he could understand.
According to Xi Luo, when using "hide and seek", a special logic barrier could be formed around the user. When other people saw the user, the barrier would deceive them and make them think that everything in front of them was reasonable.
However, there was a flaw in "hide and seek" as well. The barrier needed a "logical object" to act as its support.
In other words, the user couldn't go invisible through the barrier. Instead, the user had to play the role of a logical object and make others think that the user's existence was reasonable.
This might sound complicated, but Angor understood it as … playing the role of an object.
Angor remembered that the hologram tablet recorded a gunfight game from Earth. In a limited gunfight map, there were two sides fighting against each other. The red side would play as random objects in the map, while the blue side would play as a sought-after character and had to find the objects the red side played within a certain time limit.
"Hide-and-seek" was similar to the red side of this game.
The red side had to play as a "logical object". As long as the object made the opponent think that its existence was reasonable, the stream of consciousness concealment would be successful.
For example.
You encountered a powerful enemy in a tunnel of an underground palace.
When you were about to face the enemy, you chose to use "hide and seek". The logical object you chose was a broken corner of a mural.
When the enemy passed by your location, he glanced at the mural. He felt that the mural was a bit too broken, but he didn't care. Because the other murals in this underground palace were also broken.
The enemy passed by you and went deeper into the underground palace.
So, you successfully used "hide and seek" to avoid the enemy.
This was why stream of consciousness concealment was so powerful. Even if the enemy was countless times stronger than you, it could still be ignored by the stream of consciousness concealment.
Also, stream of consciousness concealment would not cause energy fluctuations, which made it even more hidden.
However …
If the logic you chose to rely on was too out of character, then it was still possible to be discovered.
For example, when facing a powerful enemy, the logical object you chose was a corner of a mural. But this mural was about Doraemon.
As long as the enemy wasn't a fool, he would naturally realize that there was a trick when he saw Doraemon in the mural which didn't fit in with the other paintings.
Once the enemy found out that there was a trick.
The logical barrier would also be broken, and your hide and seek would naturally fail.
In addition, if you encountered an enemy with strong observation skills, you could also fail.
It was still the same underground palace. When you encountered a powerful enemy on a narrow path, the logical object you chose was the same type of wall candle in the passageway.
You thought that you had "turned" into the wall candlestick and could rest easy.
Who would have thought that after careful observation, the enemy found that there was a wall candle every 30 meters in the tunnel, and there shouldn't be a wall candle in your location.
So, you were seen through.
Of course, if you encountered a powerful enemy and were lucky, you could also fail.
In the underground palace, you turned into a very hidden broken mural. However, your enemy had been here before, and he had observed the mural here. He remembered that the corner of the mural was not like this.
So, your logical barrier was broken, and your stream of consciousness concealment failed.
From the above, it could be seen that the upper limit of "hide and seek" was very high. If an ordinary person used it, it could make an official wizard ignore them. However, the downside of "hide and seek" was that if you were careless for even a moment, the enemy might find out.
In short, regardless of luck, "hide and seek" not only tested your ability to divert your attention, but also tested the enemy's observation skills.
If Angor was asked to evaluate, the "hide and seek" card was still very valuable. The only problem was that it was too expensive. One million crystals was enough to buy a "hide and seek" card. Yes, the "hide and seek" card also looked like a card, but the front and back of the card were blank.
However, the price was not because of the "hide and seek" card. It was because of Angor himself.
Anyway, Angor never worried about money.
So, he bought two "hide and seek" cards without hesitation.
He only bought two because there were only two left in his inventory. If there were more, Angor would not mind buying a few more.
After all, this was a stream of consciousness concealment skill that could allow one to cross levels.
Compared to the various concealment skills Angor currently knew, it had a higher upper limit. If he really encountered a powerful enemy that he could not defeat, a "hide and seek" card might be able to save his life.
Therefore, it was necessary to buy something that could save his life.
Angor even asked Xi Luo to keep an eye on how often the grand scholar who created the "hide and seek" card could produce more.
If there were more, Angor would not mind buying more.
…
Apart from the "hide and seek" card, there was another item that Angor was interested in.
Angor did not even read the description of the item before he was attracted by it.
This was the only item in all the items sold in the mirror. It was … a secret artifact!
In other words, a half-step Mystery artifact.
The name of the artifact was "Your Eyes Are Like Snakes, Scorpions, Honey, Sugar, I Know It All".
Such a familiar name reminded Angor of the stone painting and the "hide and seek" card.
This artifact couldn't have come from the same Sect, could it?
In this regard, Xi Luo said with an awkward expression, "Although the master of this artifact is indeed the Teachers of the two Great Scholars, this artifact was not refined by the Great Scholars. They did not have the ability to make it. "
"According to the information I received, this artifact was born in Mirror Mountain Academy a long, long time ago, and was discovered by the elder of the grand scholar. The name has been passed down since then. "
Since the artifact was rented by the grand scholar, the grand scholar had the right to decide.
Since the grand scholar gave the artifact such a name, Angor could only accept it.
After listening to Xi Luo's explanation, Angor did not care too much about how the artifact was found. He was more interested in the fact that the owner of the artifact was indeed from the same master as the two grand scholars!
And the grand scholar was the teacher of the stone painting and the hide-and-seek.
So it was true. Birds of a feather flock together. The naming style was really the same.
"Your Eyes Are Like Snakes, Scorpions, Honey, Sugar, I Know It All" was short for "Vigilant Eye".
The description of "Vigilant Eye" was simple. After all, they did not know how the artifact worked, so they would not write so many complicated formulas.
"Everyone's eyes have their own personality. Every gaze has its own attitude. They represent a person's soul. They are snakes and scorpions. They are aliens and grotesques. They are beauty and honey. "
"When you put on the 'Eye of Vigilance', you will be able to see their gazes. You will be able to see pure goodwill, or … malice."
"You can also see the monsters hiding in the depths of people's souls.
That was the description of "Vigilant Eye".
It was vague, but at least Angor understood.
"Vigilant Eye" looked like a pair of glasses that could change its size and shape at will. As long as you put on the glasses, you would be able to see the kindness and evil in other people's eyes.
Angor understood that it was a treasure that could see through good and evil.
However, Angor did not understand the description of "seeing the monsters in the depths of people's souls". With "Vigilant Eye", he could see the beasts in other people's hearts?
Angor asked Xi Luo, "What are these monsters in the depths of people's souls?"
Xi Luo did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "If you really want to know, you can put on the Vigilant Eye."
Angor was surprised. "The Vigilant Eye is in the shop?"
He thought the treasure should be in the hands of the grand scholar. After all, it was so precious. Besides, the grand scholar only rented it and did not sell it, which meant he valued the treasure very much.
Angor did not expect the treasure to be in the shop?
Xi Luo nodded. "Yes, the treasure is in the shop now. Normally, items like treasures are not allowed to be shown to the public. But you're a big customer, I'm sure the manager will agree. "
Xi Luo blinked. "So? Do you want to try the Vigilant Eye? "
Angor nodded without hesitation.
It was rare to see a treasure in person. Of course, he would like to try it.
Xi Luo: "Then please wait a moment. I'll send a request to the manager."
With that, Xi Luo closed his eyes and contacted the manager of Mirror No. 4 through his consciousness stream.
This time, Xi Luo took much longer than before. It had been almost five minutes, and Xi Luo still did not open her eyes. Angor guessed that Xi Luo was arguing with the manager.
Two more minutes later, Xi Luo finally opened her eyes.
Her eyes were filled with joy. It seemed that … she had won the competition?
As expected, Xi Luo's first words were, "The manager agreed!"
"However, the secret treasure is too precious. In order to avoid any problems with the secret treasure, I have to make sure that it doesn't have any problems. If you want to try it, you have to go to the place the manager pointed out. "
Xi Luo was being subtle. She was worried that Angor would do something to the treasure during the test.
Still, Angor understood the man's concern.
No matter what, it was still a secret treasure, an item related to the Mysteries!
Even if Angor could craft treasures with the crazy hat's help, he would still feel the same way if he lent his treasure to a stranger.
Angor did not feel offended at all.
He nodded. "Of course. May I know where the store manager is? "
Xi Luo: "It's in the shop, but it's still a bit far from here. If you want to go now, I can take you there, sir. "
Angor: "Now."
"Then please follow me, sir." Xi Luo nodded and stood up. "Just in time. The Parson's Purifying Potion has arrived. It's with the manager."
Following Xi Luo's lead, Angor walked out of the guest room.
After walking through the maze-like corridors for about three minutes, they finally arrived at the designated place mentioned by the manager.
