“Kael’s conjecture, I find it… rather intriguing,” Daus spoke up at this moment: “Didn’t you craft an exact replica of that pendant? Why not give it a try?”
Angel was indeed tempted, but Daus’ suggestion made him feel a bit hesitant.
Earlier, he had mentioned that he had crafted an identical pendant using mithril as a replacement and had displayed it on the illusion light screen.
But in reality, he hadn’t completed the crafting; he had only fashioned a mithril prototype of roughly the same size. After all, he hadn’t actually handled the pendant, and what he had seen was just a rough approximation. Trying to craft an exact replica, including matching weight, was no easy task.
Therefore, Angel planned that if he ever got the chance to get his hands on the pendant, he would quickly modify the prototype and perform a seamless swap.
Now that Daus was suggesting he try it, he could only use this prototype for the test, which made it difficult to determine whether the two would Fit Perfectly.
However, this didn’t pose much of a problem for him. Since he had already simulated it once using illusions, he could continue to use illusions to simulate the “crown + pendant,” essentially conducting a “cloud” evaluation.
It’s just that Angel could only display two-dimensional images, because he wasn’t sure if the three-dimensional structures would actually fit together.
Fortunately, he was using the light screen as a medium to “broadcast,” rather than a “holographic live broadcast,” which allowed him to display only flat images.
“Since you think so too, I’ll give it a shot,” Angel said calmly, as if he had decided to try only because of Daus, giving no hint that his inner thoughts had already begun to waver.
After speaking, Angel slowly simulated the crown and the silver pendant on the light screen.
It must be said that when the two were placed together, their color schemes matched even better. Especially since both used filigree carving techniques, the crown’s carvings faintly shimmered with gold dust, while the pendant’s did not, but this didn’t affect their compatibility.
Even the Black Count couldn’t help but remark: “Setting other factors aside, the filigree technique on both pieces should have come from the same hand.”
Angel didn’t respond, not because he disagreed with the Black Count’s assessment, but because the filigree carvings on the pendant displayed on the light screen were purely simulated by his illusions and might differ somewhat from reality. Therefore, they couldn’t serve as reliable evidence.
Next, the two similarly toned ornaments on the light screen began to slowly approach each other… closer… and closer…
Everyone was speculating whether there would be any incongruity when the crown and pendant combined, or whether they would indeed fit together as Kael had hypothesized.
However, just as the two ornaments were about to merge, the image on the light screen suddenly froze.
And it remained frozen for half a minute.
They inquired of Angel through the mental connection, but he didn’t respond.
However, since the light screen hadn’t disappeared, it meant that Angel probably hadn’t encountered any issues; otherwise, he wouldn’t bother maintaining the light screen while being distracted. So everyone was merely curious about what Angel was doing, without feeling too worried.
In reality, something did happen on Angel’s side, but it wasn’t a bad thing.
Because Eremy had completed the information gathering and had voluntarily exited the cultivation state.
Sensing Eremy’s movement, Angel immediately halted the illusion demonstration and focused his attention on Eremy.
Eremy’s withdrawal could very likely cause the other two Wizard Eye Ghosts to also exit their meditative states, so Angel had to be prepared.
However, to Angel’s surprise, Eremy’s exit was very smooth.
He saw that not far away, the “armored knight” representing Eremy slowly released his embrace with the other two knights.
The other two genuine armored Wizard Eye Ghosts didn’t react much; they even proactively loosened their arms to allow Eremy to withdraw peacefully.
After Eremy withdrew, the two armored Wizard Eye Ghosts once again embraced each other in that eye-piercing posture.
Everything went so smoothly that even Angel felt astonished.
Confirming that the two armored Wizard Eye Ghosts hadn’t left their cultivation states, Angel quickly communicated with Eremy through their mental connection to inquire about the situation.
Eremy’s answer was concise.
——All information has been successfully replicated.
This “all” was quite intriguing; it meant that the two armored Wizard Eye Ghosts had completely opened up all their information to Eremy… Could it be that they genuinely thought Eremy was that Wizard Eye Ghost’s new love?
Or was it due to Eremy’s own abilities?
Angel asked about this, and although Eremy’s detailed response was thorough, Angel still couldn’t figure out the exact reason.
Because Eremy had done only the most basic things: simulating a Wizard Eye Ghost, and this Wizard Eye Ghost’s shadow contained almost no information, like a newborn Wizard Eye Ghost, a complete blank slate.
Upon seeing this, the other two armored Wizard Eye Ghosts fully opened their own information repositories, and Eremy’s subsequent task was to directly extract information.
Because it was Eremy who extracted the information, rather than being fed information, the authenticity of the information was still guaranteed; it shouldn’t have been tampered with.
But why were the two armored Wizard Eye Ghosts so cooperative? Angel still couldn’t understand.
But it didn’t matter; as long as the outcome was perfect, the process wasn’t that important.
As for the result, through questioning Eremy, Angel had confirmed that Eremy had mastered the method of drawing other Wizard Eye Ghosts into cultivation.
However, whether he could forcibly draw all the Wizard Eye Ghosts into cultivation, Eremy was still uncertain; after all, everything was still in the theoretical stage.
To solve this problem was simple: there were many Wizard Eye Ghosts nearby who weren’t cultivating. They could just go over and try directly.
With this in mind, Angel stood up and said to Dangros, who was playing not far away: “Stop playing, it’s time for us to go.”
Dangros glanced at the box in Angel’s hand, confirming that it had been closed and no longer emitted icy aura. Only then did it wiggle its five fingers alternately, crawl over to Angel, and then leap onto his shoulder.
Angel returned the box to its original place. He hadn’t touched the two bottles of fragrance inside, but as for the crown, Angel took it.
However, Angel crafted an identical crown and placed it inside, even simulating the residual aura of the original crown. With his skill, deceiving the Wizard Eye Ghosts was quite easy.
Playing with the crown, Angel walked out of the cell that exuded a faint, pleasant fragrance.
Although he didn’t yet know whether the crown was truly connected to that silver pendant, it was better to hold onto it just in case.
Angel quickly arrived at the middle section of the corridor. There were many Wizard Eye Ghosts here who weren’t cultivating, but most were wandering alone. If Eremy chose to forcibly draw solitary Wizard Eye Ghosts into cultivation, he might alert them upon withdrawal.
Therefore, Angel planned to choose a room where multiple Wizard Eye Ghosts were present to experiment. After all, what Eremy would soon face was not just a single Wizard Eye Ghost, but hundreds of them.
Being cautious, Angel decided to let Eremy first face only two Wizard Eye Ghosts who hadn’t begun cultivation, to see if he could draw them into it.
As for where to find a cell with two non-cultivating Wizard Eye Ghosts, that wasn’t a concern; he had seen one before. Near the middle section, there was a cell where two Wizard Eye Ghosts were “whispering intimately”; and in the cell directly opposite, there were two solitary Wizard Eye Ghosts not cultivating.
It didn’t take long for Angel to find that cell.
The two Wizard Eye Ghosts inside were still not cultivating, but were clinging to the bars, their heads turned toward the cell opposite.
Angel didn’t know why they were in the same room yet not cultivating, and even watching the Wizard Eye Ghosts cultivating opposite… Perhaps they were “studying” the posture?
It didn’t matter; this was good. Their attention being elsewhere would make it easier for Eremy to approach.
After entering the cell, Angel stood in a dilapidated corner and signaled to Eremy that he could proceed.
Eremy approached silently.
Perhaps they were truly engrossed in “studying,” or maybe Eremy’s stealth was masterful; even when Eremy slowly extended his shadow to touch one of the Wizard Eye Ghosts, the other party still didn’t notice.
Eremy’s actions were swift and precise. When his avatar body, mimicking a Wizard Eye Ghost, touched one of them, he immediately transmitted his shadow into the other’s body through the point of contact.
At that moment, the Wizard Eye Ghost, still in solid form, was visibly stunned for a moment, then turned to gaze at Eremy.
Although Eremy was a Wizard Eye Ghost it didn’t recognize, since the other party had already begun exchanging information with it, it had no reason to refuse.
Its solid form transformed into a half-solid, half-illusion state, and the shadows rapidly fused.
While fusing shadows with this Wizard Eye Ghost, Eremy simultaneously extended his shadow slowly, through the ground, directly touching the foot of the other Wizard Eye Ghost.
With the same speed and precision, the shadow forcibly fused with the other.
The other Wizard Eye Ghost also, after a brief daze, entered the fusion state.
Moreover, under Eremy’s guidance, the two Wizard Eye Ghosts slowly approached, then quickly pressed together.
Cheek to cheek.
After confirming that the two Wizard Eye Ghosts had begun fusing with each other, Eremy, having brought the pair together, finally “withdrew after accomplishing his task.”
When Eremy returned to Angel’s side, the story of three “people” finally returned to an ending of two “people.”
“Well done!” Angel praised Eremy in his heart.
Then, watching the two Wizard Eye Ghosts who had been paired up, he quietly left the cell…
A single success boosted Angel’s confidence. Next, he had Eremy forcibly perform shadow fusion on more non-cultivating Wizard Eye Ghosts.
One against three, one against four, one against five… Eremy handled them all perfectly.
Later, Angel grew bolder and began having Eremy target solitary Wizard Eye Ghosts.
As for why he only targeted solitary Wizard Eye Ghosts now, it was because Angel discovered that during the fusing, Eremy could multitask, rapidly extending his shadow to pull other Wizard Eye Ghosts over.
Since that was the case, could he have the solitary Wizard Eye Ghosts follow Eremy, then merge with other solitary or cultivating Wizard Eye Ghosts?
Facts proved that he could.
Eremy led one solitary Wizard Eye Ghost after another to follow his shadow, eventually creating a large-scale fusion scene involving fifteen Wizard Eye Ghosts.
It’s not that there’s no way to get more; it’s just that there are only these few who are alone. As for integrating with other teams of Wizard Eye Ghosts who are cultivating, it’s not impossible, but unfortunately, the prison cell is too small to accommodate so many Wizard Eye Ghosts.
However, this is already enough. Dealing with that group of Wizard Eye Ghosts outside shouldn’t be too difficult; after all, that group is crowded together.
Eremy once again proved his abilities in front of Angel.
As long as it’s an order from Angel, there’s almost nothing Eremy can’t accomplish… Truly all encompassing.
From this, it can be seen how powerful the demons of the Panic World are. At the same realm, it’s estimated that even bloodline wizards might not be able to defeat them.
With these thoughts, Angel took Eremy, Speedling, and Dangros and left this floor of the prison.
The next target is to get the silver pendant!
……
On Angel’s return journey, the light screen outside, which had been frozen for several minutes, finally resumed movement.
At the same time, Angel’s voice came through the mental connection.
“Just now there was a small matter. Shall we continue?”
“What happened? Were you besieged, or did you find some treasure?” Such an inconsiderate response could only come from Daus.
“You’ll know when we meet later,” Angel teased.
“You mean you’ve already left that Wizard Eye Ghost’s boudoir?” Daus was clearly adept at catching hidden meanings.
“Yes, I’m on my way back.” Angel paused: “Let’s continue. I’m also a bit curious whether this crown can integrate with the pendant.”
“They can integrate.” This wasn’t just one person’s voice; it included Daus, Vai, and Kael. It could be said they all spoke in unison.
Angel: “? ? ?”
Daus said irritably: “Do you think we’re just standing here waiting for you to come back? The images on the light screen are right in front of us; can’t we simulate the integration ourselves?”
At this moment, Angel realized that he hadn’t let the light screen disappear, mainly to show that he was “not in trouble.” And on the light screen, the crown and pendant were in the same image. With their abilities, trying to simulate the integration wasn’t difficult.
Although they all said they could integrate, Angel still performed the final step of demonstration on the light screen.
When the crown and pendant were combined… there was really no sense of discord.
Previously, Angel thought the pendant was rectangular and then ground into an oval shape, but now he realized that perhaps the oval was the pendant’s original form.
Because the oval shape could fit perfectly into the crown, and from any angle, no one would notice anything unusual. In contrast, if it were rectangular, the corners would protrude from both sides, making it look discordant.
“It does seem like they are a set…” Angel paused as he said this, seeming to carefully observe the two items merged together.
After a while, Angel continued: “But what’s the significance of putting these two together? I still feel like something is missing.”
“About that, we discussed it earlier and guessed that this might be what a complete item looks like when disassembled,” Daus said through the mental connection: “These two are probably just part of the accessories; there should be other parts. But if that’s the case, it would be hard to collect them all.”
Angel agreed with this statement because, although the crown and oval pendant didn’t look out of place when paired together, he couldn’t see any use for them; there should be other components.
Angel: “No matter; after all, this isn’t our objective.”
Daus didn’t continue the topic and changed the subject: “By the way, you should be quite close to us now, right? Have you thought about how to retrieve the pendant? If you need help, feel free to ask.”
Angel: “No need.”
If Daus were to help, it wouldn’t be stealing the pendant but directly robbing and killing.
“You wanted to know why I took so long earlier… Soon you’ll find out.”
