Right, seeking help from others was indeed asking the Wise Sovereign for help!
Angel accepted this setup with a clear conscience, then looked at the Wise Sovereign with "wise" eyes.
Although the Wise Sovereign felt that Angel’s gaze was a bit odd, he didn’t think much of it. With a gentle wave of his hand, Angel felt the fragment being pulled away by a force.
Angel hesitated for a moment before allowing the force to take the fragment away.
The fragment floated leisurely into the air, finally landing in the palm of the Wise Sovereign.
The Wise Sovereign glanced at the broken mirror, from which the remnant red had faded, leaving only a blurred surface and a faint figure.
The Wise Sovereign sighed softly, previously having hinted to Angel not to take it, but he still did.
Angel wanted to involve himself in the matter of the Dust’s memory, which the Wise Sovereign was indifferent to, because Angel indeed could do it, and currently, only he could. But if Angel entered the world within the mirror through this, that’s something the Wise Sovereign didn’t want to see.
Moreover, the Wise Sovereign had an agreement with the Goddess not to obstruct anyone from entering the mirror. At the time, he agreed mainly to facilitate You Nu, but it had become a constraint now, only being able to hint, not explicitly state.
Fortunately, Dox’s inspiration talent was triggered, allowing him to perceive the terror and danger within the mirror world, giving Angel a warning. Otherwise, if Angel had recklessly stepped into the mirror, the consequences would be unpredictable.
The Wise Sovereign extended his finger, lightly tracing it across the mirror.
As if he was wiping away the dust on the mirror.
After a long while, the Wise Sovereign finally moved his gaze away from the mirror, then looked down at the crowd.
"Honorable Judge, what two conditions must be met?" Dust bowed to the Wise Sovereign and asked.
Wise Sovereign: "Internal delivery, external reception."
These are indeed the two conditions, and they are straightforward to understand. However, upon hearing these two conditions, Dust furrowed his brows.
"Does the Honorable Judge mean that someone must enter the mirror?" Dust asked.
The Wise Sovereign shook his head: "Not necessarily. The most difficult of the two conditions to meet is not the ’internal delivery,’ but the ’external reception.’"
Dust and his companions looked puzzled. In their understanding: internal delivery meant delivering from inside to outside; while external reception meant someone outside receiving.
With this comparison, it seemed delivering from inside to outside would be harder. Why did the judge say external reception was more difficult?
Wise Sovereign: "Because there are many creatures who can roam the mirror world. However, those who can touch the mirror world directly from the outside, using their physical bodies as a medium, are very few."
"Among you, only he can do it."
The Wise Sovereign gently tossed the fragment in his hand, its glowing trajectory falling precisely into Angel’s palm.
This action by the Wise Sovereign was both a return of the mirror fragment to Angel and a clear indication to Dust that only Angel might become the person for the ’external reception.’
Dust understood, realizing that the ’external reception’ was not about waiting outside for someone from inside to deliver, but about someone outside using their physical body as a medium to enter the mirror and receive the sealed memory from the creatures within.
Meanwhile, the Wizard who called himself Earl Mi had previously reached into the mirror in front of everyone. No wonder the Honorable Judge said only he could do it.
With this in mind, the Judge’s claim that external reception is more difficult makes sense.
However, the current issue is that Earl Mi seems intent on making a deal, which means the ’external reception’ seems feasible; on the contrary, they still don’t know how to meet the judge’s condition of ’internal delivery.’
Just as Dust was about to ask the Honorable Judge, Earl Mi’s voice came from the other side.
"If it’s just these two conditions, then I think I know how to do it."
Dust looked surprised. Earlier, Earl Mi didn’t know what to do, but now he claimed to have a solution?
Angel: "If it only needs someone who can roam the mirror world, then I can indeed find one."
Actually, when Angel heard the Wise Sovereign explain the two conditions, the name "Mirror Grudge" popped into his mind. If Mirror Grudge contacted this mirror fragment, it really might enter the mirror world without incident.
However, Mirror Grudge is ultimately hard to control, and due to the sins committed by Mirror Grudge, Angel never intended to keep it forever. When enough research on the mirror space was done, Angel planned to send it on its way.
Thus, even though Angel had an idea in mind, he didn’t voice it at the time.
The only reason he spoke up now was due to the Wise Sovereign’s suggestion.
Angel hadn’t understood what the Wise Sovereign intended to do with the broken mirror piece until the Wise Sovereign returned it to him, and he discovered that the Wise Sovereign had left some information on it.
Through this information, Angel understood that the Wise Sovereign had contacted the Cyclops Family using special methods more>’.
The Wise Sovereign intended to help solve the condition of ’internal delivery.’ He would let one of You Nu’s children randomly come and deliver the sealed memory from the inside.
However, all of this would have to wait until they passed You Nu’s interception.
The choice to wait until that time wasn’t made by the Wise Sovereign but was the intention of the Cyclops Family’s eldest treasure.
The Cyclops Family’s eldest treasure didn’t explain to the Wise Sovereign why, but from the chosen timing, its intentions could be guessed.
The Wise Sovereign had previously mentioned that although the Cyclops Family’s three treasures leaned more towards him over Adanis, when compared to You Nu, they unquestionably leaned towards You Nu. After all, You Nu is their mother.
The Cyclops Family’s eldest treasure insisted on helping only after they passed You Nu’s interception, which was also a warning. If they harmed or even killed You Nu while dealing with her, they shouldn’t expect any help.
To gain the Cyclops Family’s assistance, their only choice was not to harm You Nu when passing her interception.
This was the first message the Wise Sovereign left on the fragment.
The second message was what Angel had previously said to Dust.
The Wise Sovereign didn’t want to expose himself, so even if the memory of Dust was indeed sent out, it would appear to have been done by Angel, at least on the surface, having nothing to do with him.
These were all the messages the Wise Sovereign left on the fragment. While the general content was stated, the Wise Sovereign didn’t mention why he was willing to help or if there would be any return for his deeds.
Angel had doubts in his heart but didn’t dwell on them. Because if the Wise Sovereign did demand a return, Angel would just pass that on to Dust.
Moreover, these weren’t concerns for the present moment anyway.
