While Luigi kept trying to use music to heal Uriel, on the other side, in the heart space.
After closing his eyes for half a minute, Laplace finally opened his eyes.
"How's it going? Did Gleipnir find the Ancient Tooth Fairy?" Angel asked at the side.
After they returned to reality from the Dream Crystal, Laplace closed his eyes and began to share their minds with Gleipnir.
In the past, it only took a moment for Laplace to share spiritual information with his own body, but this time, Laplace was in contact with Graipnir for a full half minute.
This made Angel wonder if something happened to Gleipnir.
Laplace: "We have been contacted. Gleipnir is heading here with the Ancient Tooth Fairy."
Laplace paused for a moment before saying, "Gleipnir and I just talked about the ownership of the heart space."
Angel was stunned for a moment and seemed to understand something.
Laplace: "I have made it clear to her that the ownership of the heart space, whether in the past, present or future, has nothing to do with me. And my will represents my position. If she wants to change my The position is the destruction of my will."
Laplace's words were serious, but she once again expressed her attitude that she was on Angel's side.
In fact, Angel had already made a guess when Laplace and Graipnir were in contact for half a minute.
Information sharing can be completed in an instant, but Laplace contacted Graipnir for half a minute, which meant that they were not only sharing information, but also exchanging opinions.
Angel could probably guess that after hearing about the specific situation of the Heart Space, Gleipnir immediately felt that there were deeper interests to be explored. In addition, it was difficult for Angel to directly enter the Mirror Realm, so She might suggest that Laplace take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the heart space and reap maximum benefits.
Previously, when the Dream Crystal was born, Gleipnir also persuaded Laplace to take it as his own.
It's not that Gleipnir is ignorant, it's that she thinks that she has to put on a bad face and offer sky-high prices in order to have more room for maneuver.
To put it bluntly, Graipnir mainly protects Laplace's interests, but her way of doing so seems very extreme.
"Actually, it doesn't hurt to talk about the ownership of the heart space. After all, I can't survive in the mirror realm for a long time." Angel said lightly.
Laplace glanced at Angel, but did not answer, but said: "Do you think Graipnir is utilitarian?"
Angel smiled noncommittally.
He does not think that Greipnir is utilitarian. In his opinion, Greipnir is the one among the three who needs to put on a bad face. Maybe playing blackface will make others annoying, but for Laplace, it has many benefits.
Finding ways to maximize personal interests is not utilitarian, it is the way to survive in the world.
When Laplace saw that Angel didn't answer, he said to himself: "If I were you, I would think that Graipnir is very utilitarian."
"However, in my opinion, she is not utilitarian, but she is too afraid of you." Laplace said lightly: "This is not my interpretation of her, but that she cares too much about the results of divination, and you are her People who cannot see through. Even in the reflection of the heart, you are a fog."
Laplace looked at Angel, moved his eyes downward, and glanced at the Bloody Night Asylum on his shoulder.
"She never believed the reason you gave last time."
"She thinks that by making a deal with you, I am seeking skin from a tiger."
Angel: "..." Seeking skin from a tiger? Who is this tiger? He even had to be careful when following Laplace into the Sea of Empty Mirrors. Is this considered a tiger? Moreover, anyone with eyes can see the huge gap between him and Laplace, especially the gap in strength.
In this case, he is seeking skin from a tiger!
Laplace: "It's funny, right? But that's the kind of person she is. Her fear of the unknown is higher than the facts. I don't know if she has divined something again, but I can feel her fear of you. .”
"It is precisely because of fear that she believes that she must occupy an absolute dominant position in this transaction."
After hearing this, Angel felt speechless.
He doesn't understand Gleipnir's logic. He wants to take an absolute advantage because of fear? Is there any logical relationship here?
Angel was full of complaints in his heart, but he was very calm on the face: "Divination is not omnipotent, and predictions are not absolutely sure to happen. There are too many unknown people and things in this world. If you are afraid just because of the unknown, you may not be able to move forward. The pace is difficult.”
Laplace: "You are right. But I believe that Graipnir also understands this truth, but she still shows fear. Why do you think this is?"
Angel: "...why?"
Laplace: "Maybe in her inspiration, it would be dangerous for me to confront you."
Angel: "So, are you testing me?"
"I didn't..." Halfway through her words, Laplace suddenly fell silent. She frowned slightly, as if she had figured something out.
After a while, Laplace sighed softly: "I made a miscalculation."
Angel: "???"
Laplace hesitated for a moment and then said slowly: "...it was Graipnir who plotted against me and used me to test you."
The half-minute exchange between Graipnir and Laplace did not mention the temptation, but with Graipnir's wisdom, she understood that Laplace would definitely explain it to Angel.
As soon as it is explained, many hidden problems will be exposed.
This is probably what Gleipnir wants to achieve.
She knew that Laplace would not take the initiative to ask about Angel's secret, so she used this roundabout method to trick Graipnir into asking about Angel's secret.
Laplace didn't expect this at first, but she was not stupid and knew Graipnir's character very well. When she subconsciously began to test Angel, she immediately came back to her senses.
It's just that the words have been spoken, but it's too late to take them back.
Many times, when words are not spoken, everyone can tacitly agree not to talk. But if you really say it, if you ignore it, it may become a knot between them.
After Laplace told the situation, he thought for a moment and said, "I believe you, this is my intuition."
What Laplace meant was that she would believe Angel even if Angel didn't explain.
But Angel didn't think so.
Just like Gleipnir's calculation, if the problem is not exposed, then forget it; if it is exposed, if it is not solved, you will be blamed.
Angel: "If Gleipnir is really afraid, then I can probably guess what she is afraid of."
Laplace sighed softly in her heart. She knew that Angel's words meant that he wanted to resolve some of the problems that lay between them.
Gleipnir's goal was achieved, but Laplace didn't like this calculation.
Perhaps Gleipnir was solving some hidden problems, but it was also damaging the mutual trust she had established with Angel.
In Gleipnir's opinion, solving the problem first is better for the future; but Laplace feels that it is better to deepen mutual trust than to delve into the other party's secrets.
It's hard to say who is right or wrong, but Laplace personally doesn't want to solve the problem in this way.
Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, Laplace did not show it. These dissatisfactions will be projected on Gleipnir in the future, not Angel in front of him.
"In my opinion, Gleipnir is not afraid of me, but afraid of the power behind me."
The so-called power behind it actually has two strands.
The first is the Savage Cave. The iron-clad mother-in-law has been staying in the Wilderness of Dreams just to protect Angel, waiting for him to sway people anytime and anywhere. From this, you can know the attitude of Savage Cave.
As long as something happens to Angel, Savage Cave will definitely come no matter where he is. With the background of the Savage Cave, even in the White Sun Mirror Realm, they will definitely be able to find it.
You know, Jing Ji is not dead, she is just sleeping. She still has a royal city in the White Sun Mirror Territory! And because of the tea party, there is a high probability that he will wake up in the near future.
If Mirror Princess comes to the Mirror Realm to deal with Laplace, Laplace may not be able to take it on.
The second is the power of the nightmare world.
When Angel was an apprentice, he already had the ability to flip tables, and even almost destroyed the Night Demon City.
Of course, the ability to flip the table back then was more a matter of chance than the right time and place. Now if Angel wants to recreate the scene in the Twilight Well, he may not be able to succeed.
But Angel is now an official wizard after all, and he has a way to enter the nightmare world.
Moreover, he can also contact Wangwang.
Since he was really in danger in the Mirror Realm, Angel thought he still had a chance to try to overturn the table. Even if you can't flip it over, you can still escape.
Angel briefly explained the power behind him. The first type was described in detail, while Angel did not elaborate on the second type, but only briefly mentioned "related to the nightmare world".
After listening, Laplace just nodded silently and did not continue to ask.
She had previously felt that there was a strange aura in Angel's illusions and the Dream Crystal. She was a little familiar with this aura, but she couldn't remember where she had sensed it.
Laplace still wanted to think about it later, but now that Angel directly said "Nightmare Realm", she immediately understood that the aura of the Dream Crystal Origin came from the Nightmare Realm.
Laplace has never been to the Nightmare Realm, but she has personally sensed the breath of the Nightmare Realm...in the area of Naraku City.
In the past, Naraku City was the entrance to the Nightmare Realm.
It seems like just a few hundred years ago.
At that time, her current body had been in contact with the wise master in Naraku City all year round, and therefore she sensed the fleeting aura of the nightmare world.
At that time, her current body did not know what the nightmare world was. It was not until the wise men dominated popular science that she realized how terrifying the nightmare world was.
She still remembered that her current body also said that there were still humans being pulled into the nightmare world at that time.
Also, the person who was outside at that time was...Gleipnir.
Laplace had already guessed at this time that the "terror" mentioned by Graipnir might not be the savage cave that Angel mentioned, but more likely the power of the nightmare world.
Precisely because Gleipnir had personally felt the power of the Nightmare Realm, she became wary when she discovered a similar aura in the Dream Crystal.
And this is probably why Gleipnir tried every means to get Laplace to test Angel's trump card.
Although in the end, Angel did not fully reveal this trump card. But Laplace felt that enough was enough.
She had never thought of exploring Angel's secret.
Until now, they still have the foundation to build further mutual trust. If we dig deeper, there will definitely be huge cracks in this foundation of mutual trust. It will probably be difficult to go further.
Laplace no longer asked about the nightmare world, but said softly: "Speaking of which, it seems that we haven't officially met yet."
Angel looked at Laplace in confusion.
Laplace said calmly: "I mean my true body."
Now, what Laplace appears is only the clone of the ontology and the temporal body.
As for Laplace's true form, Angel remembered that it seemed to be a huge inhuman creature... which could be seen from the scales it shed.
Angel: "Is your true body coming over?"
Laplace shook his head: "No, my body cannot move yet, but these are the coordinates of my body..."
Laplace stretched out his hand and passed a coordinate information to Angel.
"If you are willing, we can meet formally...to sign an alliance contract."
"It would be better if I could see Lady Mirror Princess by then."
Angel didn't understand what Laplace meant by giving his body coordinates at first, but now he understands a little bit. This is Laplace's... compensation?
Moreover, it can be seen from Laplace's words that she does not mind bringing outsiders to see her.
This also means that if Angel is worried that it is not safe for someone to see her, he can tell Savage Cave.
I have to say that Laplace was quite thoughtful.
However, whether or not Laplace's true form is seen is actually not important now. At least, Angel didn't take this matter to heart.
As for the alliance contract? Not important either.
There is already a contract between them, and the moment Laplace assumes power, they are natural allies.
The so-called alliance contract means more of a strategic partner. Angel does not think that he alone can rise to the level of "strategic cooperation" with Laplace's body. This contract is obviously with the Savage Cave... ...Or it was signed with Fantasy Island.
This is all a matter for the future, so there is no need to rush now.
Compared with these invisible things, Angel is more concerned about the present.
Laplace: "Gleipnir and the Ancient Tooth Fairy are almost here. Do you plan to meet the Ancient Tooth Fairy in the heart space?"
Angel shook his head: "It's better not to expose the heart space now."
Although Angel has thought about using the heart space to win over the ancient tooth fairies, he has not yet fully understood the limits of the heart space, nor has he further tested the external half-length mirror.
It was obviously unwise to expose all the characteristics of this half-step mysterious object to outsiders before even he himself understood it.
