Observing, Angel nodded and stroked his chin knowingly: "Alright, that’s enough."
Though still unclear about Angel’s intent, Dabao obediently closed its mouth.
Angel reached out and gently tapped the black glass, surrounded by a faint gray mist.
At this moment, the black glass resembled a black sun looming in the chaotic fog.
Angel retracted his hand with satisfaction, looking at Adanis: "Now it should be fine, I set up a Mist Illusion around it, which will move with it. With the mist’s cover, it won’t see the outside world."
After a moment of silence, Adanis nodded, accepting this "sealing" method.
Upon receiving Adanis’s confirmation, Angel snapped his fingers.
Unaware of direction within the mist, the black glass instinctively turned towards the source of the snap.
Dabao couldn’t see the scenery at the sound’s source, but saw a mist emanating a faint glow.
Under Dabao’s gaze, this faintly glowing mist churned, gathered, and finally formed a glowing "directional arrow."
"Follow the direction pointed by the arrow," Angel’s voice echoed.
Only then did the Great Treasure understand that this guiding arrow was meant to lead it, and it promptly responded with an "um," indicating comprehension.
Once Angel finished all this, he looked toward Adanis: "Well, I’ll head in first. I’ll be in the secret meeting room for a while. It might be days; if it’s quick, I’ll be out in a few hours."
Angel had previously mentioned to her his wish to borrow a safe, quiet, and undisturbed place to research the sweet dream.
And he had chosen the secret meeting room in the Qingkong Poetry Room.
Adanis had agreed to Angel’s request.
So, upon hearing Angel’s words, Adanis did not stop him.
As Angel was about to enter the Qingkong Poetry Room, he suddenly seemed to recall something, paused, and looked back at Adanis: "By the way, should Olao stay with you?"
Angel said this purely to win her favor.
Anyway, wherever Olao was, he would ultimately come to find Angel. Moreover, if Olao woke and saw Adanis, he would probably be in a good mood.
Needless to say, everyone could see Adanis’s feelings for Olao.
Thus, Angel was brushing both Adanis’s and Olao’s favor, and the outcome wouldn’t change either way.
Sure enough, Adanis, who initially had a cold expression, showed a slight change upon hearing Angel’s words.
Adanis instinctively wanted to agree but eventually shook her head: "No need, just keep him with you."
Since Adanis decided to completely change Olao’s impression of her, she had to be resolute, starting now.
Angel shrugged indifferently: "That’s fine, after all, the future is long, there’s no rush."
Adanis gazed deeply at Angel... without a doubt, Angel’s words had hit her elusive sweet spot.
"...Yes, the future is indeed long," Adanis replied softly.
Angel waved cheerfully to Adanis: "Then I’ll head in first, see you later."
As he spoke, Angel simultaneously manipulated the direction arrow of the mist around the black colored glaze: "Let’s go too, Gengar!"
"Alright, at first... huh?! Sir, aren’t I called Genggui?"
Angel: "Anyway, you Mirror Creatures also have Three Temporal Bodies, so the names Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar are yours to enjoy, all at once."
Genggui... not really, at the moment embodying "Gastly" as the Great Treasure, said: "But I can’t split a temporal body."
Angel: "Doesn’t matter, you can just consider you have different names in different forms."
Gastly was still puzzled, but Angel merrily took big strides into the Qingkong Poetry Room.
Previously, Angel had deliberately asked the Great Treasure to open its mouth, to confirm whether this black colored glaze form had a mouth. When the Great Treasure opened its mouth, Angel was certain it had indeed transformed back into the "Gastly" form.
Since it’s Gastly, how could the surrounding toxic gas be omitted?
Angel quickly arranged the mist for the black colored glaze. Although different in essence from the toxic gas, at least its shape was similar enough.
Looking at his masterpiece, Angel felt very satisfied.
On the other hand, a still baffled Great Treasure’s mind was filled with the names "Gastly, Haunter, Gengar"... Initially, the Great Treasure couldn’t quite accept them, but upon reflection, these names certainly seemed better than "Great Treasure."
Besides, even if it couldn’t split a temporal body, it still had two younger brothers.
Later, it could be called Gengar, Haunter would be left for the Second Treasure, and Gastly for the Little Treasure. Doesn’t that sound great?
Most importantly, the Wise Sovereign hadn’t refuted Angel previously, and even followed suit, calling him Gengar. Does it mean that the names Angel mentioned are acknowledged by the Wise Sovereign as well?
As the Great Treasure pondered this, Angel had already brought him deep into the Qingkong Poetry Room...
...
Upon reaching the secret meeting room, Angel finally stopped.
He slightly sensed the surroundings, confirming there were no prying eyes, and only then did he relax and take out the Geometric Lock from his bracelet.
After expanding the Geometric Lock to a suitable size, Angel led Gastly inside the Geometric Lock.
After sealing the Geometric Lock, Angel snapped his fingers, and Gastly immediately felt the surrounding gazes disappear... But why was the mist still around it?
Gastly didn’t concern itself with this detail but curiously inspected the surrounding Illusionary Realm.
The space was extremely cramped, filled with geometric patterns, seemingly a room completely constructed from geometric shapes.
"Is this the inside of the Qingkong Poetry Room?" Gastly asked curiously.
Angel: "No, it’s inside an adept artifact."
Angel briefly introduced the Geometric Lock: "...I promised Lady Adanis that no outsider would see the interior of the Qingkong Poetry Room. So you and I will have to stay inside the Geometric Lock for some time."
Gastly shook his head: "It’s not inconvenient. Is the master now intending to enter the Mirror Domain?"
Angel nodded: "Yes, take me to the location of the sweet dream."
As he spoke, Angel also took out the key given to him by the Wise Sovereign.
"Alright, please wait a moment, sir." With that, Gastly closed his eyes, activating the energy within him.
With the energy surging, the originally small black colored glaze swiftly stretched and elongated, eventually transforming into a standing mirror.
The mirror surface and frame were black; however, the frame had a matte texture and couldn’t reflect, while the mirror surface was smoothly polished, dark as it might be, it still showed reflections where the light was ample.
"Sir, please carry the key and enter the mirror surface," Gastly’s voice called.
"Alright, Gengar," Angel nodded.
"Why am I..." being called Gengar again, wasn’t it Gastly earlier?
The Great Treasure initially wanted to ask but thought better of it, resigning to the fact that Gengar, Gastly, were all names Angel used, decided to follow along.
"Sir needn’t worry, the mirror space I’m connected to is relatively stable; as long as the sir doesn’t use energy exceeding the Wizard Level, the mirror space will remain safe."
Angel nodded, not questioning the Great Treasure, but instead asked: "Can a spatial artifact be brought inside?"
If the spatial bracelet couldn’t be brought inside, the plans might be difficult to realize.
Gastly nodded: "Yes, it won’t affect anything."
Angel then pointed to Dangross, obediently perched on his shoulder: "What about him, can he come inside?"
Dangross immediately stood upright, the eye in its palm looked expectantly at Gastly in the air.
Gastly continued nodding: "It’s possible, whether it’s an elemental creature or Earl Mi, they can enter. Just ensure not to activate energy exceeding the Wizard Level within the space I’ve opened."
"But upon reaching the sweet dream’s location, this limitation no longer applies. That place is opened by Master Laplace, ensuring high stability internally."
