c2809: 2810: Spirits of the Relics

The moment Angel’s words fell, a ripple appeared on the surface of the water in the glass.

After the ripple, the child-like figure hummed: "No matter how you guess, I won’t say anything. Also, Big Brother Two reminds you not to keep asking unrelated questions!"

The voice of the child-like figure was no different from before, and at first hearing, it didn’t seem abnormal.

But in Angel’s perception, the emotions of the child-like figure were not calm; they were mixed with surprise, hesitation, and confusion.

And these emotions surged entirely after Angel expressed his judgment.

From the emotional feedback of the child-like figure, Angel’s guesses seemed to be close to the truth.

Sweet Dreams indeed might not be able to awaken autonomously; it must be called by someone else.

The reason Angel considered this direction was entirely because the Wise Sovereign had said before entering the frame: when they finish here, let the child-like figure call him.

This sentence actually revealed a bit of information. It was just that at the time, Angel didn’t know what the act of the Wise Sovereign entering the frame implied, so he didn’t think about it. Later, after learning about the existence of Sweet Dreams, he naturally came to this assumption.

"Why do I feel you’re very interested in Sweet Dreams?" Dox leaned towards Angel and asked softly.

Though Dox called it whispering, everyone present could hear it. Vay couldn’t help but retort when he heard it: "You talk as if you’re not interested."

"Of course, I’m interested, but rather than asking the child-like figure these questions, it’s better to directly ask the Wise Sovereign later." Dox replied.

The Wise Sovereign is the true master of Sweet Dreams, and the child-like figure, under the guidance of Big Brother Two, won’t answer, so why delve into it?

Dox’s words were indeed reasonable. However, what he didn’t know was that Angel’s interest in Sweet Dreams was quite unique.

It was the first time Angel saw a mysterious object related to dreams, apart from the Dream Conch of Moonlit Coast.

Although he had seen a mysterious object named ’Old Dream’ in the Culori Chronicles, which also seemed related to dreams; however, Culori’s records on Old Dream were very vague, neither detailing its effects nor any affiliation, but its Hoopa Coefficient reached 91!

That number is one of the highest in the Culori Chronicles for Hoopa Coefficient.

Generally speaking, when the Hoopa Coefficient exceeds 70, it basically becomes a disorder object. The Growth Ray, which caused Gluz Deward to grow a transcendent organ, has a Hoopa Coefficient of 70; the City of Reincarnation in the Temple of the Oracle, related to the cycle of time, has a Hoopa Coefficient of 75.

And when the Hoopa Coefficient exceeds 75, it essentially becomes an unsolvable disorder object.

With Old Dream’s Hoopa Coefficient reaching 91, it is clear. Culori’s remarks on Old Dream were: let the dream of the past be buried with the people of the past. Hopefully, it will never appear a second time.

With the current information, Angel couldn’t deduce the effects of Old Dream, but from Culori’s remarks, it was evident that Culori was apprehensive about Old Dream.

So, even if the mysterious object truly relates to dreams, Angel wouldn’t dare to focus too much on it.

But Sweet Dreams is different; the Wise Sovereign has clearly used it multiple times, and the side effects seem not too significant. It can be said that this is truly the second mysterious object related to dreams that Angel has encountered.

The reason Angel is so focused on it is because both Sweet Dreams and Dream Conch of Moonlit Coast are mysterious objects of the "dream lineage."

Given the same origin, could it enter the Wilderness of Dreams?

Angel had previously conducted many experiments and concluded that mysterious objects couldn’t enter the Wilderness of Dreams, not even half-mystical objects with mysterious aura.

However, none of the mysterious objects used then were related to dreams.

So, the conclusion at that time wasn’t entirely rigorous.

Now, seeing Sweet Dreams, naturally, Angel was intrigued...

Even if Sweet Dreams ultimately couldn’t enter the Wilderness of Dreams, at least the previous, less rigorous conclusion could be completed.

"You’re right, it’s better to ask the Wise Sovereign when he comes out." Angel held back his thoughts and turned to the child-like figure: "How much do you know about the Qingkong Poetry Room?"

The child-like figure, seemingly waiting for this question, replied: "Although I haven’t been to the Qingkong Poetry Room, mother told me a lot about it. What do you want to ask? You can ask directly."

Angel glanced at the Black Earl; regarding the Qingkong Poetry Room, he personally felt it was better for the Black Earl to ask.

The Black Earl didn’t decline, he directly began: "We have no questions to ask about the Qingkong Poetry Room, why don’t you freely talk about what you know. We will ask questions when we’re puzzled."

The child-like figure muttered: "Then I’ll have to talk for a long time."

"It’s also good to let the Wise Sovereign rest longer," Dox commented from the side.

Upon hearing this, the child-like figure agreed: "Alright then, I’ll just speak casually."

"In mother’s description, the biggest feature of the Qingkong Poetry Room is—black! It’s pitch black everywhere; nothing can be seen. Only the place where the Goddess resides has rays descending from above, bathing her in holy light..."

The child-like figure narrated with longing, recounting what was heard from You Nu bit by bit.

In the child-like figure’s narration, everyone gradually pieced together their image of the Qingkong Poetry Room.

The structure of the Qingkong Poetry Room is mostly similar to the distribution map given by the Wise Sovereign. However, the child-like figure describes the arrangements in each room more clearly, going further than the Wise Sovereign.

Besides this, there are two points worth noting.

Although the Qingkong Poetry Room is dark, it has many mirror surfaces, even liquid "mirror surfaces" like mercury.

The mirrored spaces corresponding to the Qingkong Poetry Room, as You Nu knows, number over a hundred.

You Nu has been to many of these spaces, but there are also very hidden spaces that You Nu has seen Adanis go to, but You Nu wasn’t allowed to enter.

As for these hidden mirrored spaces, even though You Nu knows their location, she couldn’t describe them in detail to the child-like figure. Angel and others currently dare not enter the mirrored spaces, so the locations of these hidden mirrored spaces and what they contain remain a mystery.

In addition, the child-like figure mentioned a very important clue. This directly contradicts what the Wise Sovereign said.

—The Qingkong Poetry Room has other life forms!

Here, life forms do not refer to Olao, the Spirit of Seclusion, but rather refers to other life forms aside from Adanis and Olao.

You Nu once saw a group of glowing fuzzballs running amok in the room; these fuzzballs have obvious wisdom and can, under Adanis’s command, swiftly hide their glowing fur in darkness.
