"Have you seen him too?" Laplace's tone was filled with surprise, and it was the first time that everyone heard the ups and downs of her tone so clearly.
"Have I seen him too?" Angel looked at Laplace with a suspicious tone.
Others were originally shocked that Angel had seen the Time Thief, but the shock was not over yet. Another potential seed marked by the Time Thief came from the other side!
Doakes pointed at Laplace with trembling fingers: "You mean, have you seen the Time Thief?"
Laplace nodded.
After receiving a positive answer, Doakes covered his face and murmured to himself: "Why, why... Angel is the only one, why can even a creature that is not human be selected by the time thief! Look! Look at me, I'm so outstanding and talented, why don't you come and steal my choice? No, you don't have to steal it, I'll just go up and deliver it!"
Doakes' sad words did not attract anyone else's attention except for Cael and Vai each giving him complicated looks with different emotional colors.
Angel focused on Laplace, and Laplace stared at Angel.
This subtle look at each other lasted for several seconds, and Angel broke the silence first: "Have you ever seen a time thief, which means that the time thief also took away one of your choices?"
Laplace nodded: "He took away one of my... precious choices."
Angel: "Then he must have compensated you?"
Laplace: "Yes. The fact that I can move freely in the Sea of Empty Mirrors is one of his compensations."
One of the compensations? Angel thought to himself, so, is there any other compensation? From this point of view, what Laplace said was not an exaggeration. The time thief must have taken away a choice that was very precious to Laplace, otherwise it would not be possible to compensate him multiple times.
Moreover, just the ability to move freely in the Sea of Empty Mirrors, which is already very precious, is actually only one of the compensations.
From this, it can be seen from the side that the Time Thief should attach great importance to Laplace... he is probably the key target of observation.
I just don’t know, apart from the compensation Laplace took the initiative to say, what other compensation did the Time Thief have for her? Will Reflection of the Heart be compensation?
When Angel's thoughts were racing, he didn't stop talking: "It seems that the Time Thief values you very much, but being valued by him is not necessarily a good thing."
Laplace remained silent.
Judging from Laplace's behavior, she should also know the misdeeds of the time thief. Even though he gave compensation, what he stole was other people's lives. If he really takes away the most precious choice, it means that your life has been completely ruined by him.
Angel: "Although the time thief's behavior is not so aboveboard, there are still many people who flock to it, because when the time thief takes your choice, he will definitely compensate you."
"You saw the time thief and got compensation. Similarly, I saw him in the alchemical omen, and I also got compensation. It's just that my compensation is not compensation for my own ability, but compensation for..." Angel pointed to the cloak behind him: "The compensation will be in the cloak I refined."
"So, Blood Night Asylum seems to be a tool to prevent prophecies, but it also contains the power given by the time thief."
When Angel said this, everyone finally understood why Angel took out the Blood Night Asylum.
Items that protect against prophecies are themselves rare things, and the cloak refined by Angel is not only rare, it also has the power of a time thief attached to it.
For such a powerful being as the Time Thief, even if just a little bit of energy leaks from between his fingers, he has the ability to defy the heavens. What's more, the time thief power on the cloak was specially given by him.
When everyone looked at Xue Ye Sheng before, most of them were envious. But at this time, even the Black Earl had a hint of greed.
This kind of treasure can be encountered but cannot be sought.
However, the Black Earl's greed only lasted a moment. He knew very well that the props that Angel refined for him must be similar to those bound by blood. Even if it is really taken away, it will probably only cause disaster without any benefit.
On the other side, Laplace in the mirror also understood what Angel meant: "The thief of time has given this alchemy item a more powerful ability?"
Angel nodded: "There are many kinds of abilities given, the main ones are growth, but also the ability to shield outsiders from prying eyes."
"And this ability to prevent prying eyes... has a very high upper limit." Angel paused deliberately, as if he didn't want to talk about it.
Everyone also understood that after all, this was the ability given to Bloody Night by the Time Thief, and it involved personal privacy. It was already good that Angel was willing to tell the general content. If the details are told, if there is a loud mouth in the room, when outsiders want to target Angel, they will definitely find a way to target Blood Night Asylum first, which means Angel has tricked himself.
Therefore, they can understand it if you don't talk about it or talk about it vaguely.
Although Laplace was not familiar with human nature, he could generally understand why Angel did not want to elaborate. Just like she doesn't want to reveal all the abilities she gained from the Time Thief, it's a matter of her survival.
However, just based on what Angel said, Laplace could not judge whether it was really the Blood Night Shelter that blocked the reflection of the heart.
The core of the ability of heart reflection is "reflection". Through the reflection of the mirror, the inner side that is not easily noticed by the self is revealed in the mirror.
There is still a distance between "reflection" and "peeping".
But even "reflection" cannot be directly equated with "peeping". But if you look closely, there is some overlap between reflecting others' hearts and "peeping".
Therefore, even though Laplace still felt that Blood Night Asylum might not be the real answer, she could not completely deny that it was impossible.
Moreover, Laplace knew that the core of the heart's reflection is reflection, not prying, so he could adjust the tendency of the scale in the heart.
But Angel didn't know. At most, he knew from his own words that the reflection in the heart was not a prophecy, but it was not a spy. He could not make a judgment.
Laplace put himself in Angel's situation. Without knowing anything about the reflection of the heart, even Laplace would probably think that the reflection of the heart is a kind of "peeping". ability.
So, Angel's "reply" with Blood Night's asylum was actually very sincere. He should have thought carefully and picked the answer he thought was most likely.
If Angel was a little perfunctory, Laplace could deny it. But judging from the current situation, whether Blood Night Asylum is the real answer or not, Laplace can only accept it... Unless Angel lied, Blood Night Asylum does not have the ability of Time Thief.
But it's not a lie, it's also easy to confirm.
Laplace thought about this, raised his eyes, and stared at Angel with eyes without any emotion.
At first, Angel didn't notice anything strange, because Laplace spent most of the time paying attention to him after he appeared.
Until, the Bloody Night Asylum suddenly flashed with light, and Laplace closed his eyes suddenly, looking like he was shocked.
Seeing this, Angel suddenly realized that Laplace was probably testing whether the Blood Night Shelter could prevent prying eyes.
Angel didn't have any objections to this. If it were him, he would be suspicious. However, it would be a bit rude to start the test without any warning.
But thinking about Laplace's character, Angel felt relieved. This is a home girl who has lived in the sea of empty mirrors all year round. Even though he has seen countless memories, internalized things like "etiquette" cannot be eliminated. It is impossible to truly understand by looking at the memories floating in the sea of empty mirrors.
What's more, the memories floating in the sea of empty mirrors are not necessarily "observant of etiquette", and there may be more chaotic ones.
Angel didn't speak, he just stared at Laplace quietly.
After a long while, Laplace opened her eyes. Her eyes were slightly bloodshot, but overall she didn't seem to have suffered much backlash.
However, Laplace also proved with actual actions that the Bloody Night Shelter did have a very strong preventive effect against prying eyes.
Even though Laplace is now just a mirror image rather than the real body, with the ability of three temporal bodies and the natural spying bonus of the creatures in the mirror, just talking about snooping can at least reach the level of domination by a wise man.
But it was still blocked by the seemingly inconspicuous cloak.
From this point of view, Angel should not be lying. If it weren't for the ability given by Time Thief, how could an alchemy item that wasn't even a high-level one resist her prying eyes?
On Angel's side, after seeing Laplace open his eyes, he said, "I wonder if Laplace is satisfied with this answer?"
Laplace pondered for a moment, then breathed out a long breath: "Okay."
Not satisfied, but okay.
In other words, Laplace still had doubts in his heart, but after comprehensive consideration, he still agreed with the answer given by Angel.
Angel also heard the reluctance in Laplace's tone, but their conversation this time was itself a transaction. As long as it was a transaction, it was difficult to be absolutely fair. As long as both parties agree, then in his opinion, the transaction is considered complete.
"Now that the deal has been reached, my mission is also over... Even if it is not satisfactory, it can still be regarded as an explanation to the wise man." As Laplace said, the long hair around her that could cover the floor began to slowly Slowly floating up, wrapping her body bit by bit.
In the interplay of light and shadow, Laplace's figure began to become blurred, and the surrounding prisms full of geometric beauty gradually dissipated.
Seeing this, Angel quickly shouted: "Wait a moment."
Half of Laplace's face was already surrounded by hair, and only his indifferent eyes were still exposed, glancing at Angel lightly.
Without speaking, he just asked Angel what he meant with his eyes.
Angel: "Are you interested in chatting with me privately about the time thief?"
Angel specifically emphasized "privately", which meant just the two of them.
After various previous investigations, Angel still felt that Laplace was more suitable for going to the Wilderness of Dreams. Therefore, if Laplace agreed to chat in private, he wanted to hand over the login device to her. As for the time thief, it doesn't matter whether we talk about it or not.
After hearing Angel's invitation, Laplace did not stop disappearing. He just looked deeply at Angel and left a sentence: "I said, I will not leave the Sea of Empty Mirrors. I won’t go to reality for unnecessary reasons. So, if you really want to talk, then come to Mirror Realm, I will wait for you here."
As soon as the words fell, Laplace's figure completely disappeared.
The slightly solemn air now regained its previous relaxed atmosphere.
"Hey, the young man is pregnant, but he was rejected. Are you angry? Are you angry? Do you need to vent?" Doakes's unflattering voice sounded from the side, "How about I go to the Paradise Pavilion to book a seat for you? Hmm... ...If you like the porcelain doll style, the Paradise Hall has them too."
Angel glanced sideways at Doakes and said as if unintentionally: "It's a pity that the Savage Cave does not have a Paradise Hall. There are two wizards' bazaars relatively close to the Savage Cave. One fell apart in the blood melting incident, and the other wizard's bazaar was in the twilight. Shenjing, their Paradise Pavilion has also been closed, um... my mentor did it."
"So, you may not be able to reserve a spot."
Doakes didn't react at first, but when Angel said the last words, he understood immediately.
This is arranging his "future affairs" - what will happen next!
Doakes's chest was heaving and he felt like he was holding back his breath, but he didn't know how to refute. If he said "I won't go" forcefully, Angel would definitely start talking about the debt, but if he remained silent, wouldn't it mean that he would follow Angel by default?
After gasping for breath several times, Doakes finally chose "silence".
The tendency of inspiration, coupled with the fact that during this period of time, he was beaten by the Black Earl in all aspects of the debate on the theory of freedom, he also had a reflection on "freedom", so let's just acquiesce.
No matter where he goes, he can find a way to enjoy the hot and spicy food!
Angel saw that Doakes didn't refute and didn't care. He turned to look at the Black Earl and said, "Sir, what do you think the wise master has in letting Laplace come over?"
Black Earl: "What's the deep meaning? It's just a surprise to further explore the information."
"Isn't it a bit unnecessary to do this even though we have already signed a mantra book?" Vai said from the side.
Doakes: "This is the result of thinking too much. Just like you, if you figure it out earlier, you won't have to delay it for so many years..."
As Doakes spoke, he looked at Vai's flat face with no curves... The reason why there were no curves was because his "nose" was flying to the side at this time. Where Vai's nose was originally, there was only A black and red pit remains.
Doakes: "How about I use my blood to give you a nose first?"
Doakes said, holding out his hand. I saw the skin on his palm rolling, and finally an organ that looked like a nose appeared.
Vai frowned with disgust: "I don't want it."
Doakes clasped his hands and his nose disappeared: "I'm doing this for your own good. You look so ugly like this."
Doakes turned to look at Angel: "How about you give him an illusion, at least not to scare the children."
Vai: "...where can there be children?!"
Doakes: "What if some big one-eyed treasures, two single-eyed treasures, and little one-eyed treasures appear later? Aren't these children?"
Vai was about to retort when Angel looked over: "How about the same nose as before?"
Vai's originally high arrogance immediately fell away, and he said with some embarrassment: "Then I'll trouble you, sir."
Angel smiled, and with a flick of his hand, an illusion appeared on Vai's face, which was exactly the same as Vai's nose before.
If the Black Earl were to attach it back, it would not destroy the illusion. It could be said that it was completely tailor-made.
This kind of illusion is not troublesome. Sanders's phantom mantis hands were covered by this illusion.
It can last for several years after being cast. Even if the time is up, as long as Vai occasionally releases a little magic power, it can continue to be maintained.
It is a basic and practical illusion.
After covering Vai's nose, Angel slowly moved his gaze downwards, looking at the silent shadow on the ground.
