How are you getting old.
This is what the new Crystal Eyes said to Cassata.
Literally, he seems to be "feeling" or "questioning" why Cassata is suddenly getting old.
However, the deeper meaning is interesting.
First, he must know Cassata. That is to say, the "old friend" that Cassata murmured at the beginning should be this one.
An old friend means an old friend or an old friend. Generally, it refers to friends who have been with each other for many years, and Cassata has become a member of the Elder House six hundred years ago, and the natural lifespan of the Crystal Eyes is generally seven hundred to one thousand years old. Cassata has obviously reached the end of his lifespan. His old friend is probably a few hundred years old?
But this Jingmu clan with unilateral earrings looks more like a young man than an old man in terms of appearance. This is one of the doubts.
Also, since Cassata has reached the end of his lifespan, if he does not interfere with any external force, it is a natural law for his appearance to "get old".
In other words, at his age, Cassata should have appeared old.
Considering this, the words of the Crystal Eyes who wear the unilateral earrings are very interesting.
Combined with the previous speculation, he doesn't seem to understand why "old friend" Cassata suddenly becomes so old-fashioned?
It was as if he had slept for too long, or had been isolated from the world for too long, living in a utopia where time was frozen, completely unaware of the passing of time outside.
In this regard, there is a lot of room for blind thinking.
Where was he before this? Why doesn't time fly by? Why do old friends grow old, but they are still young?
And... why does his appearance require rituals? And this ceremony location, also chose to be in the ring fort that should have come to the network?
A further guess is that the ceremony chose the ring fort, or that the Jingmu people built the ring fort originally for the ceremony? If it's the latter, it's terrifying to think about.
You must know that the internal structure of the Crystal City is connected by a series of ring-shaped forts.
While Angel was thinking, Luigi on the side got a new message: "Gleipnir re-engraved the appearance of the Crystal Eyes just now by mirroring it."
The so-called mirror mapping is to present the image in the form of a mirror.
"Gleipnir's original intention was to determine the identity of the Crystal Eyes through Fada's identification. But unfortunately, Fada didn't know this person, and she didn't even see him at all. "
"In Fada's own words, it's—"
"He is very distinctive, especially his pair of elf-like long ears, which are extremely rare among the Crystal Eyes. But it's strange, I haven't seen him in the Crystal City."
Fada's remarks actually mean that he is very recognizable by his appearance, and has extremely rare long ears, which should be the object of discussion among the Crystal Eyes. In other words, he can become a man of influence in the gossip world.
But it was such a unique existence that Fada had never seen in Crystal City, which made her very puzzled.
Fada was puzzled, but her words confirmed Angel's guess.
The Crystal Eyes, who manifested through unknown rituals, may have really been "isolated" for a long time. When he saw Cassata, he would wonder why the other party was getting old, and Fada was in the Crystal City for a long time. People who have stayed for nearly four hundred years have never seen each other's appearance.
Angel said his guess.
Laplace raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything; while Luigi was silent... Not because Luigi thought of anything, but simply because he was communicating with Gleipnier through psychic synchronization.
Half a minute later, Luigi said: "Your guess should be right. However, there is obviously a phenomenon of chaos in his body, and this phenomenon of chaos in him is: time stops passing, or time stops. The passage slows down. And isolation doesn't bring chaos, so there must be a deeper secret here."
"Gleipnir already has a guess, and this guess may be the core piece of the 'puzzle' she's looking for."
Luigi paused: "Wait a moment, the answer should come out soon."
In Syluda's study, if there is no accident, there are the remaining puzzle pieces hidden. When all the puzzle pieces are put together, it is the moment when the secret is revealed.
Even though Grappnier actually had a guess, she still had to find the remaining pieces of the puzzle and find important evidence to support her guess.
...
While waiting for Gleipnir to find the puzzle, Angel and the others set foot on the road to the siege party again.
The passages they took before were basically dark, and the only advantage was that there was only one passage. There will be no fork in the road, just keep going forward, and you will always reach the end.
And now this passage, the first half of the road is the same as before, but as they progressed, not only did the passage become wider and brighter, the light became brighter, and even a branch road appeared.
However, although there are forks, there are signs at each intersection to ensure you don't get lost.
As for why this happened suddenly, according to Luigi's explanation, as the distance to the main station of the siege party is getting closer and closer, the various passages will also converge. After all, if they don't merge, wouldn't the main station of the siege party be full of passages, even more sieves than sieves?
And hundreds of channels will eventually merge into ten main channels.
They should now be walking one of the ten main passages.
So, will you meet people from other channels? Angel looked at the fork in the road and thought so in his heart.
Before this idea could fall, Angel heard the sound of "Deng, Deng, Deng".
The source of the sound came from a fork in the road ahead.
"Someone is here?" Angel whispered.
Luigi nodded: "It's hard to say whether it's a 'human' or not. Although there are many humanoid races in the White Sun Mirror Realm, the mainstream ones are still non-human races."
For example, the mirror dragon is not a humanoid.
However, this loud "dengdengdeng" sound was obviously not made by Jinglong.
This sound is not the same as the footsteps in Angel's impression. In terms of hearing, it is a bit like... the sound of a blind stick.
When the blind man holds a stick and the tip of the stick touches the ground, the sound is so clear.
However, today's sound is only the sound of a blind stick hitting the ground, not the sound of a blind person landing. So, it may not be a blind stick.
As Angel guessed silently, the sound got closer and closer, and finally, 'he' came out of the crystal-like fork.
When 'he' appeared, Angel was obviously stunned for a second, because the appearance of the other party was too much like a wood spirit.
To be precise, it is the "stickman" of the wood spirit.
However, this one is even stronger and taller than the "stickman", and can be called an enlarged version of the stickman, or "bamboo man".
Literally "bamboo pole".
His body is a pitch-black stick, like a fire stick, and like a black iron bamboo pole. The hand is also a slender rod, section by section, and his legs... well, there are no clear legs, the rod is straight from head to toe.
That's why his so-called "walking" is actually a jump, and the stick falls to the ground, so the sound it makes is so similar to a blind stick.
Although the body is a black stick and has no clear feet, he has facial features.
After he came out of the fork, he obviously noticed Angel and the others behind him. He turned around and looked back, so Angel saw his face.
Likewise, he has no so-called head, and his face is on a straight stick. He can't see his nose, his mouth is split open, and he can see a row of dazzling fangs, his eyes are upside-down meniscus, and the inside is scarlet, giving a sense of malicious treacherousness.
When the man with bamboo poles saw Angel and the others, his upturned scarlet eyes flickered, as if he wanted to get closer.
However, before he could make a move, he saw Laplace's pair of deserted children.
Laplace didn't say anything, just stared at him blankly.
Those eyes... as always, they look at people like scorn.
Being stared at by such eyes, according to his character, he should be angry, but this time, he did not have a trace of anger. His emotions were frozen by an inexplicable coldness.
Although he doesn't know why, he already understands that this group of people is not easy to mess with.
He was silent for a moment, showing a self-kind smile to Angel and the others, and then disappeared in the next second.
Baimeng Book
He didn't disappear out of thin air. Angel could feel that his power was a bit similar to the wizard Kanter. What he called disappearing was actually merging into the darkness and leaving quickly along the darkness.
However, compared with the ability of Wizard Kanter, the fluctuations in his body are much more obvious. At least when Wizard Kanter merges into the darkness, Angel cannot perceive his existence. And this one, that fluctuation can be found across the barrier.
But I have to say that although the fluctuations in his body are big, the speed is quite fast.
He left Angel's perception range almost in an instant, and at this time he had gone somewhere.
"Oh, it's so unlucky to meet the Changhu clan!"
While Angel was still staring at the empty distance, Luigi's cold snort came from his ear.
"Changhu clan, you mean the big stickman just now?" Angel asked curiously.
Luigi nodded, showing obvious disgust on his face: "Yes, although the reputation of this race in the White Sun Mirror Realm is a little better than that of Piruxiu, in my opinion, they are actually more disgusting than Piruxiu. ."
"At least, when I went to find Babarregon, if I was in the mood, I would be willing to play the piano in front of Piluxiu. But the long confused clan, hehe, even if Hua Ningjing asked me to go, I would not go! Dog! Don't go to the show!"
"The dogs don't go...you don't go either...then you are..." Angel murmured in a low voice.
Luigi glared angrily: "Don't catch my word, I'm expressing my disgust for the Longhuo clan! I don't even understand why the major groups hate Piluxiu more, at least Piluxiu still has an aura. However, the Changhu people have nothing, they only pick things up every day, they are the mosquitoes in the Mirror of the Daylight, and they have nothing to do except suck blood."
It was the first time Angel had heard Luigi express such dissatisfaction with a certain race, which made Angel a little curious, how did this long confused race offend Luigi?
"I didn't offend me, I just didn't like some of their actions!" Luigi said angrily, except for emotions, there was nothing else in his words.
Angel could only put his eyes on Laplace.
Laplace also understood what Angel meant, and opened his mouth to introduce the "Long Confused Clan".
The Changhu people live in the mirrored space: the Valley of Splits. They seem to be naturally close to the dark, capable of manipulating the power of darkness as well as the power of shadows.
Their name has "confusion", but it is not charm, but fan confusion.
They are born fans of confusion, love to sow discord, like to provoke confrontation, and divide various races. But they don't just do this externally, they also criticize each other internally, split and oppose each other.
Originally, the place where they lived was called "Shadow Valley", but later the Changhu clan came out with a few crouching dragons and phoenixes. They provoked disputes externally, and the opposition between "darkness" and "shadow" internally, so Shadow Valley. It was split into the Dark Valley and the Shadow Valley, which led to a complete split within the Changhu clan, which is why it was called the Valley of Splits.
The reason why Luigi hates the Longpus is also because of their fan tricks.
Although the Long Confused Clan did not confuse Luigi, they provoked a lot of disputes in Buluowangcheng, one of which made Luigi very angry.
This dispute can be summed up in one sentence: the Changhu people created a fanning performance called "elegant art".
It sounds complicated, but in fact, it is to put the definitions of "elegant music" and "vulgar music" in the human world into a city that does not fall.
So-and-so musical instrument is elegant music, so-and-so musical instrument is vulgar music. So-and-so's music is as elegant as snow, and so-and-so's music is as vulgar as bad.
The methods of the Changpu clan are not very clever, but they are very good at grasping people's hearts.
In the end, this dispute was really provoked.
For Luigi, this was unreasonable and a sully. Therefore, he hated the Changhu clan extremely.
Of course, the Long Confused Clan is not really just fanning confusion, they have also gained a lot of benefits from the dispute. Every dispute can make them a lot of money.
They now have a better reputation than Piru, and they also use money to buy people's hearts.
As for why they "buy people's hearts", of course, it's not really for fame. This is also their means of fanning: to provoke some people, to appease some people, to buy some people, and to suppress some people.
Thus, the cycle of fan confusion is established.
"However, the Longhus are completely useless as Luigi said, and they also have advantages." Laplace: "They are very aware of current affairs."
When your strength is far greater than that of the Long Confused Clan, and you can even crush the Long Confused Clan, at this time, the Long Confused Clan will become less of a threat to you, and maybe even become a sharp blade in your hand.
And Laplace has the power to completely crush the Long Confused Clan, so she commented that the Long Confused Clan's knowledge of current affairs is an advantage, and it is completely fine.
Angel recalled the long confused clan who quickly fled as soon as he noticed something was wrong, and nodded silently.
Indeed, very aware of the times.
