Super Dimensional Wizard

Angel still remembered that when the phantom clone recounted Hilda's experience, she had mentioned that when Hilda entered the Knight's Castle for the first time, she ignored the choice given by the tuxedo butler and instead bypassed him. Search the lobby.

 After searching, Hilda obtained a rope, a flower, and a water glass. These three are special sacrifices used in rituals.

 At that time, Hiluda did not trigger the "spiritual transformation ritual" after obtaining these things.

 Are these three things ownerless?

Obviously not.

These items are placed in the hall, and they must belong to their owners, and the owner is probably the Ghost Rider from the castle.

Then why did Hilda not trigger the spiritual transformation ritual when she obtained these three items?

  Could it be that this is actually a ploy to get you into a trap?

  Deliberately let Hilda get some benefits first to lower her vigilance?

"You look troubled? Are you worried about Gleipnir's divination?"

While Angel was thinking, Laplace's voice came to his ears.

Angor: "It has nothing to do with divination, I just found a very strange place."

Angor's words made everyone at the tea table look over curiously: "Strange? What's so strange?"

Angor didn’t hide what he was thinking, and directly told what he discovered.

After listening to this, everyone fell into thinking for a while: There seems to be some problems with what Angel said... Why was the spiritual transformation ritual not activated when taking items in the hall?

 After thinking for a moment, Laplace said: "Whether it was deliberately lowering Hilda's alertness as you said, I don't know."

 “However, in my opinion, there are two possibilities.”

 Everyone looked up.

 Laplace: "Either, the Knight's Castle actually does not have an owner. Or, the owner of the castle does not care about these things."

The so-called "Knight's Castle has no owner" means that the housekeeper lied and the Ghost Rider is not the owner of the castle. Precisely because the castle has no owner, the public items in the castle that Hilda takes are considered useless. The Lord's object will not activate the spiritual transformation ritual.

However, in this case... Angel personally feels that the possibility is relatively low.

Angor himself couldn’t explain why. He just felt that the definition of “master” was a bit too broad.

 According to the butler, the current owner of the castle is the Ghost Rider.

Even if the Ghost Rider relied on strength or trickery to forcefully occupy this castle, from the perspective of ownership, he can still be called the owner of the castle.

 Unless the “owner” here specifically refers to the creator of the castle.

As for the second situation mentioned by Laplace, "The owner of the castle doesn't care about what Hilda took away", if you dig deeper, it actually means that the owner of the castle and the "NPCs" in the castle are not the same group. of.

 Is this possible?

 Angel thinks, yes.

 Because Hiluda had heard a conversation between two servants in the mirror game before. The content of their conversation was very vague, but the butler was mentioned in it.

 “Butler…rebellious…”

"Killing him...would be against the rules..."

From this brief conversation, it was revealed that the servants and the housekeeper did not seem to be dealing with each other. They might even want to kill the butler.

 And the butler is obviously on the same side as the Ghost Rider.

 Otherwise, why would the butler convey the greetings of the Ghost Rider whenever someone enters the castle?

Since the butler and the owner of the castle are in the same group, and the other NPCs want to kill the butler, doesn't it prove that the NPCs are in the same camp, and the butler and the Ghost Rider are in the same camp.

 It is now known that NPCs will induce intruders to use owned things in order to meet the conditions for spiritual transformation rituals.

Then the steward knight camp, which is opposite to the NPC camp, may do exactly the opposite to what the NPC does.

 In other words, the butler and Ghost Rider camps are likely to have good intentions towards the intruders?

Hearing Angel's analysis, everyone pondered for a moment, and the shadow clone said: "So, the housekeeper had good intentions in letting the intruder go see the Ghost Rider in the first place?"

  Angel: “It’s possible.”

 Because the steward knights had good intentions, they did not stop the intruders from collecting the sacrifices in the hall, nor did they trigger the spiritual transformation ceremony.

 This makes sense.

 “Of course, it may not all be good intentions, it may also be more malicious.”

The NPC camp and the butler knight camp are not integrated. It may be that the butler knight camp is opposite to them, or it may be more evil than them.

  Which one it is, they can’t tell clearly now.

 Unless, try it again.

Phantom clone: ​​"Well, let me go over now and send a message to Grandma Longcrow to try to see the Ghost Rider and see what changes will happen."

 Angel subconsciously wanted to say, "Would it be too troublesome for you?"

But then I thought about it, the phantom clone was walking directly in the shadow, and it would only take a few seconds to get to the place where the blood disaster occurred.

To her, it was just a blink of an eye; thinking of this, Angel no longer dissuaded her.

 The phantom clone turned around and disappeared without any hesitation.

About two minutes later, the phantom clone returned to the tea table again: "I have already told Grandma Longcrow. According to Grandma Longcrow, she has actually recently begun to let the human try to contact the Ghost Rider."

The lucky and unfortunate human from the Southern Region has been wandering around the castle these past few days. He wasn't reaching for anything, but was... listening to the corner.

For example, the NPC dialogue of "Butler...rebellion..." that Siluda heard before.

These conversations were previously considered by Siluda as "clues to solve the case."

It wasn’t until she entered the mirror game that she discovered that these conversations were actually NPC conversations or murmurs.

Although NPCs must play their roles well and cannot do behaviors that are inconsistent with the character's personality; muttering to themselves or communicating with companions are in line with the character's personality, so they are reasonable.

Some of the dialogues or murmurs of these NPCs may be unimportant, but some are very likely to tell some secrets about the castle.

 By piecing together these secret clues, you may be able to see the truth about the castle.

This is also the reason why Granny Longcrow asked the human to listen to the corner.

Phantom clone: ​​"According to the statistics collected by the human, he found that almost most of the people in the castle wanted to assassinate the butler."

“The reason seems to be that the steward is preventing them from doing something.”

"Now it seems that Angel's guess is correct. The housekeeper is probably stopping them from luring the intruders to use the owned objects to activate the spiritual transformation ritual." The phantom clone paused and continued: "Grandma Longcrow also vaguely feels this way. As soon as I mentioned it just now, she immediately decided to try to contact the butler and the Ghost Rider."

 “However, it is estimated that the results will not be available immediately.”

 After all, Granny Longcrow is at the **** disaster. Siluda and the human from the Southern Region stayed at the research base.

It’s not that Granny Longcrow doesn’t take them two with her, but if they come together, they will probably be suppressed by the talent of Blood Disaster immediately...

 Grandma Longcrow's bloodline level is very high, so there is no need to worry about the talent of blood disaster. Siluda and the human from the Southern Territory are different.

Phantom clone: ​​"Also, aren't you interested in the creator of the Mirror Game? I told Granny Longcrow about the situation, and she said she would help find it. When she has information, she will notify me through the Blood Disaster Ritual."

As long as the "player" enters the mirror game and does not touch the owner's objects or take those ritual sacrifices, there will be no problem for the time being.

 On the premise of not triggering the spiritual transformation ceremony, Granny Longcrow will try her best to let the human being find information about the creator in the mirror game.

Angor nodded. It would be better if Grandma Longcrow could find out the information.

 …

While waiting for the divination results, Angel also made a solo trip to Yinsen Space.

 Because Laplace told him that the prophet Jota had arrived.

Angor couldn't let Jota wait for him, so he took a step back and left the Yinsen space to meet with the prophet Jota.

 After meeting Jotta, Jotta handed a translucent oval crystal to Angel.

Angor scanned it with his mental power and found that it was a crystal shell of space storage type.

The space is not too big, about the same size as his bracelet. It is filled with all kinds of holy corpse crystals, about 10,000 pieces.

According to Jota, the crystallization of the holy corpse this time came from the "military cemetery" and the "civilian cemetery".

 80% of them are soldiers of the Jingmu tribe, and the other 20% are from civilians, with mixed identities.

However, what is certain is that most of these holy corpse crystals from private cemeteries are also people with status and status.

After all, the crystallization of the holy corpses of the vast majority of lower-class civilians will not enter the cemetery. Instead, they will be deposited on the walls of the Crystal City and become building materials.

Of course, this is not absolute.

There are also many ambitious Jingmu tribesmen who will choose to become the foundation of Crystal City and will continue to protect their beloved tribe even if they die.

 After putting away the 10,000 holy corpse crystals, Angel exchanged a few words with Jotta, then said goodbye and returned to the Yinsen space.

 When he sat down at the tea table again, news came from Gleipnir.

"The divination has ended, and Gleipnir has obtained the information." It was Luigi who spoke. His expression was strange, and he seemed to be very surprised by the divination result.

 It wasn’t just Luigi, Angel found the phantom clone who was sipping tea, his hands also paused in mid-air, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Laplace, on the other hand, still maintained his usual indifference.

 “Is the result surprising?” Angel asked curiously.

 Luigi nodded deeply: "It's not an accident, but...very unexpected. Because Edward, the makeup and hair artist who occupies Hilda's body, is..."

Luigi didn’t say the place, he just stretched out his finger and pointed towards his feet.

Angor was stunned and exclaimed: "You mean, he is in...Crystal City?!"

 Luigi nodded meaningfully: "Yes, he is in Crystal City at this time."

Perhaps because he didn’t know how to use the power of the Crystal Eyes, he didn’t have any cover along the way. Gleipnir even divined the trajectory of his recent actions.

As he spoke, Luigi waved his hand gently, and the illusion of the void appeared out of thin air.

His ability to create illusions is not strong, but the illusion in front of him does not require much detail. It is just a dark void and two glowing points.

One of the white dots emits a blazing light, like a crystal. There is no doubt that it refers to the Crystal City where the Jingmu Clan is located.

 Another shining point, not far from Crystal City, just nearby.

This light spot has no markings, but Luigi, the shadow clone, and Laplace all focus on this light spot.

Luigi pointed to this spot of light: "The first place Edward went to was not the Crystal City, but he came here first."

When Luigi said this, he looked at Angel with a smile: "Do you know where this is?"

Angor looked at the position of the light point in the void, and recalled the process of coming. He quickly constructed a void coordinate system in his mind, and then he spoke without hesitation...

"have no idea."

After all, Angel had entered the Sun Mirror Realm not long ago. He didn’t know much about the situation here, and on the way to Crystal City, he still walked through the Mirror Corridor.

 In the corridor, what he saw was only part of the scene in the void, and deeper places could not be observed.

 So, even if he constructed a void coordinate system in his thinking space, it would be completely useless.

Luigi blinked: "You can guess."

 Hearing Luigi's words, Angel frowned slightly. Since Luigi asked himself to guess, it meant that he must know this place.

Have you seen it before? Or have you been?

 “Pippi Castle? Or...the City of Rejin?”

 These are the two places Angel has been to. However, these two mirror spaces are both in the Immortal Mirror Sea. Edward has just occupied Hilda's body and has no body memory. He should not be able to avoid the erosion of the Immortal Mirror Sea.

Luigi shook his head and continued to talk: "It's not these two places. However, I can reveal some information to you. You haven't been there. But you must know where it is."

Angor: "???" I haven't been there, do I still know where it is?

When Angel was confused, Laplace next to him said: "Don't guess, there is just an ordinary void, without any mirror space... However, the parrot left from there."

"The place where the parrot left..." Angel muttered in a low voice: "You mean, where is the passage opened by the parrot with the telescope?"

Laplace nodded and said calmly: "If nothing unexpected happens, this Edward should have some ability to sense weak points in space and find space passages."

 He ​​was able to come from the Dark Mirror Realm to the White Mirror Realm because he discovered a space intersection and found a passage to the White Mirror Realm.

Now, he was very targeted and went to the place where the parrot left. Apparently he sensed that there was a passage to the outside world.

 Otherwise, he would not have been able to stay in a void without anything for so long.

It's a pity that the parrot left using a telescope, and Laplace has absolute control over the mirror channel opened by the telescope. Without her permission, outsiders can't enter at all.
