Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2871 The newborn will eventually become king

Looking at the hidden door slowly opened, Angel couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes.

You know, the first time he entered this tree house, he checked the surrounding layout through mental power, and there was no trace of extraordinaryness.

There is no mechanism or magic pattern.

But what is in front of him now, whether it is the self-illuminating bird that regards itself as a lamp, or this hidden door leading to nowhere, all show that this place is not as ordinary as it appears on the surface.

But why couldn't he detect anything strange here before?

"You don't have to be surprised. When the wise man came here for the first time, he didn't find the mechanism here." Laplace said softly: "If I didn't control this space and let me find it, I wouldn't know where the mechanism is. place."

Angel hesitated for a moment: "Even you guys didn't notice it, could it be that... this mechanism is actually moving?"

Laplace was stunned for a moment, and looked at Angel with interested eyes: "How did you guess that the mechanism is mobile?"

Angel: "I couldn't find any traces of the agency before, either because I didn't have enough strength to find the agency, or the agency wasn't here in the first place."

"Since even the wise master didn't find the mechanism when he first came, the answer is only the latter."

This is indeed Angel's reasoning logic. However, he could think of these immediately because he encountered a moving mechanism when he went to the snooker base not long ago.If he hadn't taken over the magic circle in the base laboratory, he might have been trapped there.

He had just suffered a setback, and no matter how ignorant Angel was, he wouldn't forget it as soon as he turned the page.

Laplace showed comprehension: "In terms of quick wit, you are very similar to a wise man. The wise man also immediately judged that the organ is moving."

After a word of praise, Laplace said: "You are right, the mechanism itself is mobile. The mechanism here is hidden in the roots of the big tree. Only when the bird light is on, the tree will move The mechanism is raised from the imperceptible root to the position where the bird's lamp is."

Laplace said as he walked towards the hidden door: "Although this is the case, I am still not clear about how the big tree achieves this mechanism. According to the joint speculation between me and the wise man, we finally agreed that it may be Big trees have intelligence in reality."

"Mirror space can bring in energy and bring in unintellectual things, but enlightened creatures cannot be reflected unless they actively pull the other party in."

"And when this mirror memory was discovered by me, it had been floating in the sea of ​​empty mirrors for a while. There is no way to directly use the mirror memory to pull the creatures in the place corresponding to the mirror into the space."

When Laplace said this, he sighed in a regretful tone: "If the big tree is really intelligent, as long as it can be pulled into the reflection space, maybe it can know the secret here."

Laplace was feeling regretful at this time, but if there were a situation where creatures could be pulled into the reflection space, it would actually be tantamount to pulling real creatures into the mirror field.

This is not like Angor's wilderness of dreams, which is just dreaming and dreaming, but actually pulling a creature from another world into the mirror realm violently.

This requires strong strength as a background.

Moreover, Laplace's "away game" had to draw the "home" creatures into the mirror domain, and he had to lose three points in terms of strength comparison.

Angel doesn't know whether the special creatures in the special place are strong or not, but if they really want to fight together, they may not be able to be brought back to the mirror field by Laplace.

Laplace: "However, even though the tree's intelligence has not been pulled into the reflection space, there are still some special rules that are followed here. As long as the bird's lamp is on, the mechanism will be opened."

To put it simply, it doesn't matter if you don't have the intelligence to control the movement of the organ. With "muscle memory", as long as the mechanism is correct, the organ can continue to operate.

……

Angel followed Laplace into the hidden door.

Behind the door is a spiral staircase going up.

Laplace walked in front, and said as he walked: "You should have seen just now, there are actually quite a few tree holes outside. The interior of these tree holes is probably similar to the room layout we saw just now."

"The vast majority of tree holes have organs. They can be connected to a hall."

"That's it."

Laplace stopped and looked forward.Angel followed Laplace's line of sight, and saw that the spiral staircase had come to an end. Right in front of them was a path of about five or six meters, and at the end of the path was a spacious hall.

The hall is still very dark, and the specific situation cannot be seen clearly, but Angel guessed that the so-called "murals" should be in this hall.

"There are five such halls inside the tree trunk. They are about the same size and have similar interior furnishings. The only difference is that the murals inside are different."

Angel: "In other words, including the mural on the top of the tree, there are six murals in total?"

Laplace nodded: "Yes. So don't look at the many tree holes outside, but they are actually connected to the five halls, and there are only six murals."

That's pretty good, at least you don't need to run around or spend too much time looking at the murals.

But then again, such an arrangement should have some meaning.

Angel brought up this idea, and Laplace also agreed: "The wise man also said something similar. His guess is that there may be a certain ethnic group living on this big tree, and this ethnic group has a common belief. And the hall connected from the tree hole in their own house is the place of sacrifice for their common belief."

"Of course, it is also possible that these halls belong to different functions, such as sacrifice, trading, communication and even fellowship."

In general, the five halls are the public places of the group living on the big tree.

But the exact effect is not known yet.

Thinking, Angel and Laplace walked into the first hall.

After walking in, Laplace beckoned lightly, following the stairs they came from before, birds riding the beige wind kept flying in, and immediately jumped into the shell light grids on both sides of the wall as soon as they came in. Become the lamp of the bird.

A large number of bird lamps lighted up together, illuminating the hall extremely brightly.

As the lights came on, Angel also saw the so-called "mural".

Unlike the murals that Angel imagined, the murals here are only on one wall.Moreover, the mural also has an exquisite wooden picture frame, which looks like an ordinary appreciation painting.

It's just that this appreciative painting is very large, occupying almost three quarters of the wall.

As for the content of the painting... as always, it is abstract and incomprehensible.

However, there is one thing worth paying attention to. The murals are still carved, which leads to fluctuations in the picture itself.It is very similar to the murals on the top of the tree, both of which can produce obvious light and shadow.

But the light and shadow on the top of the tree depend on the light source in the sky.But the light and shadow of the murals here come from the dense bird lights on the walls of the hall.

Laplace has been paying attention to Angor's gaze, seeing that his gaze has shifted from the carving to the bird lamp on the wall, and asked curiously: "Or light and shadow?"

Angel: "I don't know, I have to try first."

Laplace: "How?"

Angel thought for a moment, and simulated the mural through the illusion.At the same time, twelve lamps are distributed around the mural, which also correspond to the twelve bird lamps in the hall.

Angel began to try to turn off some of the lights in order to distinguish between light and shadow.

As the lights went out, Angel found that the twelve lights, according to the layout, happened to be in the four directions of the mural, and there were three lights in each direction.And the on and off of these three lamps only affect a quarter of the mural.

This makes the search for light and shadow easier.

Angel began to try different combinations, and finally presented the most regular light and shadow changes.

When Angel accelerated the "time", the light and shadow in the phantom changed extremely quickly, which made the abstract lines have a "story".

When Laplace saw this scene, he couldn't help being surprised: "This is... the throne?"

At first glance, what the light and shadow present is indeed a throne.

Moreover, this throne is more obvious than the previous "infant", almost recognizable at a glance.

However, the position of the armrest of the throne has an obvious protruding shadow outline, and the rendering of the shadow is deeper, unlike the shadow of the throne itself.

"...This should be someone sitting on the throne?" Angel hesitated for a while, guessing.

Laplace scrutinized it carefully for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "It seems to be really... But, what's the meaning of this?"

Angel thinks of the mural on the top of the tree. If the mural is finally confirmed to be "swaddling baby", can it be interpreted as——

"The newborn will eventually become the king?"

Hearing Angel's words, Laplace thought about it: "You mean, the baby in the swaddle grows up slowly and eventually becomes the king."

Angor nodded.

Laplace: "This logic makes sense. As far as I know, similar legendary growth stories often appear in murals. However, to see if this is the case, we have to look at several other murals."

If we say that the mural at the top and the mural at the bottom are the beginning and end of the story described in the mural.

Then, the other murals should all be "the process of growing up".

"Can I simulate murals in other places through illusions, or do you plan to go and see them yourself?" Laplace has now been able to confirm that the puzzle of the murals may really be related to light and shadow.Now that Angel has solved this puzzle, there is no need to look at it specially, she can completely simulate the mural.

Angel: "Anyway, I have to go back to the top of the tree, and it won't waste much time to see it with my own eyes."

Laplace nodded: "Then let's go."

They didn't return the same way, but Laplace fiddled with a hidden door somewhere, walked up the stairs, and got out of a tree hole after a while.

After careful screening, Laplace took Angel to another tree hole at a slightly higher position.

As in the previous situation, the bird's lamp opened the way, the hidden door was opened, and everyone came to the second hall in the big tree.

The layout here is almost the same as the first hall, the only difference is the position of the bird lamp.

"The position of the bird lamp is different. I noticed it before, but I never thought about the change of light and shadow." Laplace looked at the bird lamp with a frustrated tone.

Angel didn't answer, because according to his thinking, the master of the wise should be able to see this light and shadow change, and he didn't tell Laplace that he might have his intentions and ideas.

Now he told Laplace the answer, and to some extent, he broke the situation maintained by the wise man.

Whether this is good or bad, Angel is not clear.

What Angel is thinking now is, let's just pretend that he doesn't know anything, just to solve the puzzle...

Angel immersed himself in sorting out the phantoms silently, arranging the bird lights, trying to find an optimal logic of light and shadow.

Because it was not the first time to do this kind of thing, Angel could easily analyze it.

After a while, a picture composed of rapidly changing time and light and shadow appeared in the phantom.

If you look at this picture alone, it may still be a little incomprehensible.But if you think of the previous throne, the picture is much clearer.

——a "man" walking towards the throne.

It is not certain whether it is a "person", but it can only be said that there is an outline of a person.However, it looks like this "person" is very bloated, seems to be wearing armor, and he is holding a weapon that looks like a spear in his hand.

"It seems that what you said is right... the newborn will eventually become the king." Laplace looked at the picture and said in a low voice.

Next, they continued to move forward, and soon came to the third hall.

As before, Angel is still going to solve the problem silently with light and shadow.

However, at this moment, Laplace suddenly showed hesitation, and after thinking for a while, he said to Angel: "I have some preliminary information here. Regarding the dreaming problem you mentioned, Do you want to listen now?"

"Or, after my Shishen thoroughly investigates, I will tell you together?"

Angel paused for a moment. According to his thinking, it may take several days or even months for Laplace to investigate the dreaming of the creature in the mirror.

Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, Laplace already had a preliminary news.

This speed is much faster than he imagined.

Angel thought for a moment, then nodded to Laplace: "Now."

Since Laplace brought it up now, there must be some discoveries.Moreover, this discovery is absolutely unusual, otherwise she would not have spoken in such a hurry.

Sure enough, after pondering for a moment, Laplace said to Angel: "The first place Luigi went to was the Tooth Fairy Paradise. It's a special space in the Mirror Realm. It's not big, but it's more stable. And the people living in it are very small tooth fairy. He used to occasionally sing poetry in the Tooth Fairy Paradise, and therefore, the little Tooth Fairy in the Tooth Fairy Paradise has a good impression of Luigi. Some of Luigi’s questions, They are also happy to answer."

"According to the information Luigi inquired, the Tooth Fairy who was born in the past thousand years has slept, but none of them said that they had dreamed."

"Now, under the introduction of a little tooth fairy, Luigi is going to visit the Tooth Fairy Castle. In the Tooth Fairy Castle, there are the old Tooth Fairy who has lived for thousands of years, and the Tooth Fairy Queen. Maybe they will give different opinions. Answer."
