Before the Dream Crystal Origin’s hidden dangers are eliminated, these are all matters for later.
However, watching those tendrils hidden in the dark, Angel’s thoughts began slowly stirring...
Since the Ability Tree can control the Dream Crystal Origin’s authority, it seems there might be a way to deal with the intrusion of the Forest of Memories?
Angel pondered for a moment, and a plan slowly emerged in his mind.
The success rate of this plan is unknown, the consequences uncertain, but at worst, the Dream Crystal Origin will shatter. As long as it doesn’t affect the operation of the Wilderness of Dreams, even if the Dream Crystal Origin shatters, Angel can accept it.
After all, he cannot rely on anyone to cross the river right now.
Having chosen to pioneer the Wilderness of Dreams and walk this untrodden path, every step forward requires his own exploration.
Thinking of this, Angel silently made a decision in his heart.
He slowly reached out his hand and gently touched the glass bottle holding the shedding scales.
The moment he touched it, Angel felt a strong sense of rejection, as if something terrible would happen if he didn’t let go the next second.
And the only terrifying thing Angel could think of was the shedding scales exploding.
Even though he wasn’t sure if this was just his psychological effect, Angel still let go accordingly. However, before letting go, Angel silently called a name in his mind.
—Glaipnir.
After letting go, the sense of crisis immediately vanished.
Angel didn’t touch the glass bottle again but sat quietly waiting. If Laplace didn’t deceive him, someone should contact him soon.
While Angel was thinking this, a crack appeared in the sky.
"So fast?" Angel mumbled quietly, raising his head to look.
Angel originally thought Glaipnir would arrive, but unexpectedly, after the crack appeared, it quickly turned into a square dog hole. Then, a pitch-black head with furry ears poked out of the dog hole.
Seeing that familiar face, Angel softly called, "Genggui?"
Genggui nodded, "Sir, it’s me."
Angel: "...What are you doing here?" Wasn’t he supposed to guard outside the Reflection of the Heart?
Genggui didn’t respond immediately, but quietly glanced at the sleeping Laplace nearby, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes. Then, he pointed his short, chubby hand at Laplace, then at Angel...
"Don’t point, and don’t overthink. She just fell asleep due to the side effects of studying the Sweet Dream. She’ll wake up soon." Angel paused and added, "Maybe she’ll wake up while you’re pointing at her."
Angel’s scare tactic worked well on Genggui. He immediately withdrew his finger, and his expression returned to seriousness from the previous panic.
Feigning a cough, Genggui smoothed over the awkward atmosphere.
Angel continued to ask, "Now you can tell me, why are you here?"
Genggui took out a pitch-black round disk from the depths of the dog hole and tossed it, letting it float steadily towards Angel.
Angel reached out and caught the disk.
"Not long ago, Glaipnir suddenly contacted me, asking me to lend you the Star Disk, without telling me the reason, and then broke off contact. I don’t know why, but since she asked me to lend you the Star Disk, I figured there must be something she wants to say to you, so I came in." After saying this, Genggui began to shrink the dog hole in the sky, preparing to retreat.
However, before leaving, Genggui peered through the dog hole, "Right, the Star Disk is just a loan to you, sir. Please remember to return it to me before you leave."
Angel nodded, mumbling a response.
Seeing this, Genggui left with reassurance.
After Genggui disappeared, Angel’s gaze rested on this Star Disk.
The Star Disk is entirely black, made of a marble-like material, polished very smoothly, and when touched, it feels distinctly cool.
On the Star Disk, there are many things resembling light points, like stars in the night sky, emitting a faint glow.
Although Angel was seeing such a Star Disk for the first time, he immediately recognized it as the board for Astrology Chess. Not long ago, Glaipnir had played a game of Astrology Chess with the Black Earl, but at that time, Glaipnir conjured the board from the void, rather than using a physical Star Disk.
While Angel was observing the Star Disk, the light points suddenly brightened, part of them intersecting in the air, eventually forming a glowing human-shaped outline.
This human figure, without a doubt, was Glaipnir.
After Glaipnir’s luminous shadow appeared, he first observed the surroundings, then slowly lowered his head, his gaze on Angel.
"Changer from beyond the Starry Sky, I heard you call my name," an old voice came from Glaipnir.
"Changer from beyond the Starry Sky?" Angel stroked his chin. "Is this the Reflection of my Heart? Just like the lonely one hidden among the crowd, or like the Retracer seeking the past?"
Glaipnir hesitated for a moment before replying, "No."
The reason for calling Angel this was purely because she couldn’t determine Angel’s position in the starry sky, unable to see the astrology corresponding to Angel, thus giving such a title.
However, Angel did not care for this title.
"Since not, why not just call me Angel? I prefer my own name to a long string of seemingly grand titles," Angel said with a gleaming smile.
Glaipnir was silent for a moment before nodding, "Okay."
Angel: "Back to the main topic, I want to borrow the Forest of Memories."
Glaipnir didn’t hesitate, nodding, "Alright, I’ll bring the Forest of Memories over later."
He agreed so easily? Angel was momentarily stunned; he thought Glaipnir would at least ask why he needed the Forest of Memories, but instead, he agreed directly without asking anything?
Glaipnir seemed to have seen through Angel’s thoughts, speaking softly, "Since you can mention the Forest of Memories, it must be that Laplace told you. You came to borrow the Forest of Memories, so it must be Laplace who agreed; since she agrees, naturally I won’t refuse."
