Hyperdimensional Warlock

Neither the mighty-looking Yingji tribesman nor the chattering green-skinned Lu Xiu noticed Gleipnir's arrival.

On the contrary, Edward, who looked the most inconspicuous, suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look in the direction of the door in confusion.

The door was closed and no footsteps were heard.

But for some reason, Edward always felt something was wrong, as if someone was staring at him.

This feeling made Edward very uncomfortable.It reminded him of the time when he was locked up in the world of ritual and looked down upon by "people" outside the world.

This feeling of being looked at and observed made him very uncomfortable.

"Hey, hey, did you hear? The rent is going to go up, it's going to go up!" Pi Baibo put his hands on his hips, held his head high, and said proudly: "Did you see, this is a prime rental space here, and there is a huge queue outside. People are attracted to my store because it occupies a prime location."

"So, the rent we discussed yesterday is going to change. Ten crystals a day is too little, at least a hundred a day... no, two hundred crystals!"

Pibaibo muttered and walked to Edward: "Hey, why are you so rude? Just answer me. Don't think that you are from the Jingmu tribe, and don't think that since I am in your Crystal City, you will be able to Eat me up."

"Let me tell you, behind my back is..."

Before Pi Bai Bai finished speaking, Edward gently stretched out his hand and touched Pi Bai Bai's cheek.

Under Pi Baibo's surprised eyes, he waved his arm lightly and pushed the short and frivolous Pilu Xiu aside.

"Don't block my view." Edward didn't forget to add after pushing Pi Baibo away.

Pibaibo originally thought that Edward was going to slap him, but when he saw that the other person just pushed him away, he breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing Edward's words, Pibaibo raised his eyebrows, thinking that someone had come in, and turned around. The head began to crackle and output:

"You can't come in now. I don't see any guests. Wait until the guests here are over. You...hey, is there no one?"

Pi Baibo turned around and glared at Edward: "Are you kidding me?"

Edward ignored Peabody's shouting and kept looking at the door. ——The look that looked at him came from the door.

The conversation between Pibaibo and Edward also attracted the attention of the Yingji soldiers, and wisps of fire were seen floating out of his hair.

The flames turned into a void fire eye while rolling, looking towards the door.

But soon, the fire eyes closed and merged into his hair again.

Obviously, he didn't see anything and just thought it was Edward playing tricks on Peabody.

However, at this moment, Edward suddenly narrowed his eyes and said in the direction of the door: "Is it Bubbles?"

After a while, no one responded.

Piper looked at the empty door and then at Edward: "Who is Bubbles?"

Because Edward didn't turn to look at him, Piper thought that his words would be ignored again - he was used to it.

However, what Pibaibo didn't expect was that this time Edward responded: "Bubble is a friend of mine, and he is a Star Faller."

Pi Baibo: "What is the Star Faller?"

Edward continued: "The one who descended from the star is the son of the starry sky."

Pi Baibo tilted his head: "What is the Son of the Starry Sky?"

Edward turned around and glared at him: "If you ask me again, I won't pay today's rent."

Pi Baibo's eyes lit up: "So, you agree to my rent increase?"

Is this what I understand?Edward looked at Pi Baibo's expectant eyes and felt a throbbing pain in his temples.He has now learned Piluxiu's temperament. It was only the first day of renting, and he had not even rented for half a day before he started to increase the rent.

However, this group of people who are obsessed with money are easier to control.As long as you give him enough money, he will do what needs to be done.

Just like the hairdressing area here, the wig display area outside, and the display cabinet with defensive measures, it only took Pi Baibo less than an hour to complete it.

"The rent can be increased." Edward paused: "But, I need you to do one thing for me."

Pi Baibo: "What's the matter?"

Edward hooked his fingers, and Pibei immediately leaned over.

After listening to Edward's whisper, he was a little puzzled, but he still nodded, opened the door and walked out.

What Edward asked him to do was very simple, which was to look at the queue outside.

"What can happen in the queue? Isn't it just overcrowded? He just wants to show off. Don't think it's your credit. I account for at least 50% of the credit for this prime rental."

Pibaibo murmured as he came to the gate.

Then he discovered that there were only a few people outside the door.

Pi Baibo scratched his head, with a puzzled look on his face. He still remembered that he had seen the situation outside before going to the hairdressing area. Wasn't it full?

Moreover, it seemed that when he came out and passed by the rest area, there was no one in the rest area?
What happened?
When Pi Baibo was surprised, a Jingmu clan guard came to him with a smile and bowed to him, and then Pi Baibo felt that he could not move.

Even his mouth was covered with a crystal film, making it impossible for him to speak.

In Pi Baibo's horrified eyes, the Jingmu clan guard whispered: "Don't scream, I just ask you to sit next to me. Look over there, that should be your commander. He is waiting for you over there. You can go directly Just go over there.”

Pibaibo looked up and saw Pilu Xiu not far away.

That's... Lord Pixi!
He was also the assistant to Grand Duke Pixiu and was in charge of economics.

To some extent, Pixie was indeed his immediate boss.

Because he saw Pi Xi, Pi Baibo felt a little more at ease. He nodded to the guards of the Jingmu Tribe and walked over.

As soon as Pibaibo came to Pixi, the crystal membrane on his mouth slowly disappeared.

When Pi Baibo saw this, he immediately asked.

However, Pixi made a "shh" gesture to him, and then whispered: "Don't ask, just stay here..."

Although Pi Baibo has a lot of doubts in his heart, he will also assess the situation. Judging from the current situation, there is probably no way to clear up the doubts.

However, he also had his own guess. Pibaibo looked back at his shop: "Could it be that the Yingji tribesman has a problem? Is he a fugitive on the run?"

……

On the other side, after waiting for a few minutes, Edward saw that Peabody did not come back.

He seemed to understand something.

Edward was silent for a moment and said softly: "It will be over soon."

The Yingji tribesman thought he was talking to himself. He raised his head and looked at the mirror: "Is it almost over?" The Void Fire Eyes rose again.

Looking at his gray hair in the mirror, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Not bad, you recommended gray hair before. I was worried that it would make me look older, but I didn't expect the effect to be quite good."

Not only is it ageless, but it’s also trendy.This kind of gray is like a well-dressed grandma. Although her hair is white, it has a shiny gray.

Coupled with the exquisite and capable hairstyle, he felt that his combat power had improved a bit.

Why does combat power increase?
Of course, it's because he's handsome. Being handsome makes you feel good. If you feel good, you can perform well, and your combat power will naturally increase.

Five minutes later, Edward lifted the cloth covering Yingji's shoulders: "Okay."

The Yingji soldier stood up and looked at the mirror for a while.

"Not bad, not bad." The Yingji soldier only thought it looked good: "However, it seems that the special effect you mentioned was not triggered?"

Edward: "Triggering special effects is a small probability event, and it has to do with my on-the-spot performance. My on-the-spot performance just now was not very good, so the effect was not high."

The Yingji soldier patted Edward on the shoulder: "If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. At least it's handsome. I didn't expect me to be so handsome with gray hair. I'll come to you next time."

The Yingji soldier left a bag containing crystals and strode out.

Edward looked at the backs of the Yingji soldiers and sighed softly: Next time... there shouldn't be a next time, right?
After the last customer left, Edward was the only one left in the hairdressing area.

He put away the scissors and comb very carefully and wiped away the stains on the table. Every movement was very careful.It seems like a person who loves his career is saying goodbye to his career.

——Although this thought was a bit tragic, Edward was really saying goodbye in his heart.

Pi Baibo's long absence, the noise outside has become completely rare, and there are even no footsteps in the display area... all of this shows that it is unusual.

Before thinking about the strange gaze he had sensed before, Edward understood that he was being watched.

Presumably, it was the senior members of the Jingmu clan who discovered something was wrong with him.

This original person is probably a big shot... Only in this way can he attract the attention of the senior leaders of the Jingmu Clan so quickly.

It's right to think about it. Being able to break into that ghost land and successfully obtain the legacy left by that adult all shows that the Jingmu tribesman he possesses is very powerful.

With such impressive strength, he must be a big shot among the Jingmu clan.

"Oh, I originally thought of sneaking in first and slowly learning the abilities of the Jingmu tribe, but I didn't expect to be caught so soon." Edward turned to look at the door.

"Come out, I won't run away."

Under Edward's gaze, a silhouette of a figure slowly appeared at the door.

It was an old lady with a stick and a staff covered in starlight.

Seeing the other party appear, Edward was also a little stunned: he thought it would be someone from the Jingmu tribe, but he didn't expect it to be...a human?
That’s not right. There are many humanoid races in the Mirror Realm. Maybe this is a humanoid?

But why would the humanoid come to catch him?Was it commissioned by the Jingme clan?
Edward shook his head, putting aside the doubts in his heart, and fixed his gaze on the starlight surrounding the old lady Zhuzhang: "It is indeed the power of the starry sky. I thought it was bubbles. That's right, the bubbles are still in the Yi World. , how could it come out?"

Shaking his head, Edward looked at the old lady opposite and said, "Are you here to catch me?"

Gleipnir looked at Edward who was talking to himself across from him, and said softly: "Are you deliberately arousing my interest?"

Edward glanced at Gleipnir: "I'm just feeling emotional. However, if it can arouse your interest, it will also be a good thing for Bubbles."

After all, the Celestial Spirit Warlock and the Star Faller complement each other.

The old lady in front of me who controls the power of the starry sky is probably a star spirit warlock.If she can rescue Bubbles, it will be good for both her and Bubbles.

When Bubbles is rescued, maybe he can say a few good words for himself.

Therefore, when Edward vaguely sensed the unfamiliar power of the stars surging around him, he did mention Bubbles on purpose.Including Pibaibo's previous inquiry, he also deliberately revealed the identity of Paopao as the "Star Faller".

Gleipnir looked at Edward, showing no emotion on the surface, but feeling deep inside: This guy is indeed a cunning person.

Whether it is mentioning Bubble, arranging for Pi Baibo to leave, or even waiting until the Yingji tribe leaves in the end, this series seems to be a layout.

But this trap was not designed to escape. ——He also knows that with his current strength that does not match his body and soul, there is no way to escape.

His layout is more about expressing attitude.

Show your own position, show your "kindness", and show your harmlessness.

This can actually be called... character design.

If he behaved too sharply, or was too sharp and evil, he would probably have been imprisoned by now, or even had his consciousness wiped out.

The fact that he can have a stable conversation now also means that he made the right move.

This was also the reward he received after showing his attitude; of course, his showing his attitude was also to test Gleipnir's attitude. If Gleipnir did not take action immediately and was willing to talk, it meant that his plan was successful.

Graipnir could guess what Edward was thinking, but the other party just followed the trend and was magnanimous all the way, even throwing out the star-faller, a bright card that could attract Graipnir.

Even if Gleipnir didn't want to pick it up, he had no choice but to pick it up.

Besides...she didn't want to take it.

Although she was still unhappy with Edward occupying her friend's body, she also knew that Edward was definitely not the mastermind in the mirror game. The ecology of various NPCs in the mirror game was for the spiritual transformation ceremony.

Even if it wasn't Edward, Hilda might have been spiritually transferred by other NPCs.

So, Edward just happened to be in the right place.

If Edward wanted to resist fiercely, Gleipnir would definitely suppress him more forcefully than him; but Edward now put on a peaceful face and tried to have a dialogue.

Graipnir is naturally welcome.

If you want to understand the mirror game, Edward, the NPC who escaped from the mirror, is a key figure.

Gleipnir: "If you really want to arouse my interest, then what you do now should not be silent. Instead, talk about your situation... Who are you? How did you occupy this body? This body Where is the original owner of the body?”

Although Gleipnir already knew the answers to these questions, she also wanted to hear what Edward had to say.

If Edward had to hide these issues, there was no need to communicate normally.

When it comes to intensity, we still need to increase intensity.

Edward didn't know that Graipnir already knew something about him. Faced with her inquiry, he thought about it and said, "These questions are a long story. Why don't we sit down and chat?"

"You can sit down and chat, but you have to change the place."
