After leaving the Wetbunker Outlet, Angel and Laplace went straight to the opposite Bloodstone Casino.
As soon as he heard the word "casino", Angel subconsciously thought of a smoky, noisy and dark place, but when he entered the Bloodstone Casino, he found that the casino here was different from what he had imagined.
Although there were quite a few people inside, they were all very quiet, each holding a stone and observing with a magnifying glass.
If you don't say this is a "casino", Angel would even suspect that this is a geological research institute.
But having said that, studying the stone with a magnifying glass... This reminded Angel of some treasures in the holographic tablet.
"Couldn't this be... a stone bet?" Angel muttered in a low voice.
"What are you talking about? Betting on stones?" Laplace turned his head and looked over.
Angel shook his head: "No, I'm just curious why they are holding the stone. Isn't this a casino? Could it be that stone for gambling?"
Laplace nodded: "Stones are indeed used for gambling, because some of those stones contain blood mines."
While Laplace was speaking, Angel saw a large pile of stones not far away, and there was a sign in front of the stones, which recorded the functions of these stones in special words.
The reason why it is called "special text" is because Angel does not recognize the type of text on the sign, but after staring at it for a long time, his consciousness inexplicably understands the meaning of the text.
This should be some kind of text passed through consciousness?
When Angel was wondering, Laplace said lightly: "This is a technology of the ancient Tooth Fairy. The stand is not text, but a pattern drawn by the Ancient Tooth Fairy with special ink. Through this pattern, you can Connect the consciousness of intelligent life, and transmit the existing information engraved on the pattern."
Angel: "Is there such a technology?"
Laplace: "This is not a technology they independently researched, but a kind of imitation."
There are many energy beings in the mirror field, they can't speak, and they can't record in the form of words. Their communication depends more on the communication of spirit, consciousness or soul.
The Tooth Fairy imitated these energy beings and stored energy information in patterns. When other people's brain waves, souls, spirits or consciousness touch the patterns, they can extract the corresponding energy information from the patterns.
In Laplace's view, this technology is a poor imitation.
However, in Angel's view, this is also a very interesting experience. Moreover, regardless of the low technical content, the important thing is that the ancient tooth fairy created this kind of thinking.
In many cases, ideas are more important than research itself.
Moreover, most esoteric technologies are actually developed from a simple idea.
Although this technology can only be used as a "universal translator" at present, it may be possible to expand broader technical prospects from these simple ideas in the future.
Therefore, Angel is quite interested in this kind of "energy expression".
"If you are interested in this technique, I can teach you later." Laplace said lightly.
Naturally, Angel would not refuse. He himself wanted to find out about the energy spectrum of the mirror domain from the Laplace system, so that he could also take the opportunity to learn about energy expression at that time.
Put things aside for now.
Angel returned his attention to the stand.
According to the energy expression on the standing sign, Angel roughly understood the situation of the Bloodstone Casino.
Indeed, as Laplace said, the gambling here is the stone of gambling.
To be precise, the bet is the "Magic Blood Mine" hidden under the stone shell.
These stones suspected of having "magic blood mines" were called "blood stones" by the tooth fairy.
Since the bloodstone is related to the Tooth Fairy, it is not difficult to deduce that the origin of the bloodstone is... the sea of empty mirrors.
The Tooth Fairy caught bloodstones in the Sea of Empty Mirrors, and some of them would be opened by themselves, taking out the magic blood mine inside and selling them. For those bloodstones that are difficult to identify, they will be thrown into the casino for the gamblers to open themselves.
This kind of bloodstone, which has been deleted and selected by the ancient tooth fairy in advance, basically loses money after buying, either it is a blood mine that is too weak, or there is no magic blood mine at all.
However, there are also some high-level magic blood mines with restrained blood energy, which escaped the identification of the ancient tooth fairy.
And once a gambler bets on this kind of high-level magic blood mine, it will be a big profit.
Of course... the probability of this is very small, but there are so many gamblers.
As long as they are gamblers, they will basically have the protagonist mentality of "the world revolves around me". When they gamble, they will only look at the successful cases; the failed cases will be forgotten by them.
That's why there are so many people in Bloodstone Casino.
Angor read the content on the stand and further confirmed that this is probably the Mirror Domain version of "Stone Gambling".
However, he also has some doubts.
The biggest reason for the popularity of the uniqueness in the holographic tablet is that it is difficult for technology to detect the gems in the stone, which makes the protagonist unique.
But the gamblers here are basically extraordinary beings. As long as they think about it, they use their mental power to penetrate into the blood stone, and don't they know the situation in the blood stone?
Angel asked out his doubts.
Laplace was not surprised by this: "Because you are a conscious body now, you can't see the specific situation of those bloodstones. In fact, the reason is very simple."
Angel: "Is there anything unusual about those bloodstones?"
Laplace nodded: "The surface of those bloodstones is still covered with the breath of the Sea of Empty Mirrors. It will be fine to cut them directly, but if you use mental power to contaminate them rashly, you may be attacked by the Sea of Empty Mirrors." Influence."
Of course, this kind of influence cannot turn you into a hollow person, but it is very likely to cause irreversible damage to your spirit.
Because of this, these gamblers dare not use mental power to investigate. You can only choose the magnifying glass to observe, and the past experience to choose the stone you want.
"This breath of the sea of empty mirrors is of no use to people with a high upper limit of mental power or strong resistance to mental power."
"However, this kind of people just look down on these bloodstones."
Laplace could easily see the blood mine in the blood stone, and was completely unaffected by the so-called air of the empty mirror sea, but she didn't think about participating in the stone gambling at all.
Because there is no need.
Even if the magic blood mine that is really cherished is self-deprecating, the Tooth Fairy has other ways to identify it. These magic blood mines, even if there are high-level magic blood mines, most of them were released by the ancient tooth fairy himself.
If the boss pretends to be blind to gamble with stones, he will not make much money here, but will lose his style.
But then again, the reason why Laplace knows so much about stone gambling is that Luigi... occasionally goes to the Tooth Fairy's casino to pretend to be blind.
Unlike Laplace, Angor is still a little interested in bloodstone, after all, it is a consumable for alchemy.
However, he is still a conscious body now, and he doesn't have any crystals on his body. Even if he can see through the blood mine in the blood stone, he can't afford it.
Therefore, he can only give up temporarily and get his thoughts back on track.
"According to the clerk of the Shenyan tribe, the parrot stayed here for nearly a quarter of an hour. Could it be that he also came to open the bloodstone?" Angel looked around, wanting to see where the clerk of the bloodstone shop was.
But after looking at it for a long time, I only saw people who were studying stones, and the shop assistant didn't see a single one.
Just when Angel was wondering, he found that Laplace had already stepped aside. When he followed up, he saw that Laplace was already talking to a "clerk".
When Angel saw the "clerk", he finally understood why he hadn't seen him before.
He is too miniature, just the size of a palm.
It was an ancient Tooth Fairy wearing a cap with milk teeth and a long white beard. Although he looked very old, he was wearing colorful robes, and the wings on his back were also colorful, a bit like... the reflection of colorful light in the sun fly wings.
This ancient tooth fairy was holding an iron spoon about the size of his body, digging a glass jar in front of him.
A faint scent of nectar floats from the jar.
When Laplace talked to him, he didn't forget to lick the remaining nectar on the spoon.
"Are you Long Ya Qin's friends?" Gu Tooth Fairy wrinkled all his facial features with a smile, "Since you are friends of Elder Qin, then you are friends of my Baby Tooth Papa."
Angel: "..." Milk tooth Papa? Are you sure it's not the baby tooth daddy?
Besides, do you believe us when we say we are friends of Long Ya Qin? Don't you doubt it?
"Whatever you want to ask, just ask. As long as I know, I will definitely tell you all." Baby Tooth Papa patted his chest, solemnly promising... If he still licks the nectar when he is not guaranteeing, there will be more Convincing.
Laplace simulated the images of the parrot and Luigi with the aura: "I wonder if you have seen this person before?"
Following their inquiries, Baby Tooth Papa's eyes slowly turned to the phantom next to him.
When seeing the parrot, Baby Tooth Papa's expression paused.
After a while, he finally said, "What are you asking him for?"
Angel: "...Didn't you just say that you know everything?"
Baby Tooth Papa said angrily: "I'm not stupid, you say you are friends of Elder Qin, do I have to believe it? Who knows if you are here to spy on the secrets."
Angel understands. Can you believe that this guy is so enthusiastic just now, just to set off the atmosphere?
But that's right, how can a person who dares to guard the casino alone be innocent?
Laplace didn't care either, and said indifferently: "Do you have a display book? You can ask your leader leader for my name."
Baby Tooth Papa murmured in a low voice: "Even if the leader of the team knows your name, your name can be faked. Just like I can say that I am Langya Flute Bone."
Hearing Baby Tooth Papa's rebuttal, Laplace was not annoyed, but said indifferently: "No one dares to pretend to be my name."
With such confidence, Baby Tooth Papa was a little afraid to comment.
Anyone who dares to say such a thing is either a boss or a lunatic. And Laplace in front of him doesn't look like a lunatic.
Baby Tooth Papa thought for a while, and quickly asked Laplace's name, then quickly took out the display book, and asked the leader leader through the display book.
Generally speaking, there is no emergency on his side, and even if the lead leader replies to his message, it may be ten or twenty minutes later.
But when he announced Laplace's name.
Almost instantly, he received a message from the leader.
"Fully cooperate."
Although he didn't go into details, this short sentence and his attitude of replying in seconds made Baby Tooth Papa think a lot.
There is no doubt that Laplace is definitely an existence he can't afford.
Baby Tooth Papa immediately put away her previous frivolous attitude, pushed the honey pot aside, threw the spoon on the table, and bowed seriously to Laplace: "I didn't know that the distinguished guest was coming, I was rude before. "
Laplace: "I don't want to hear such nonsense, answer my question."
Baby Tooth Papa nodded hurriedly: "I understand. The person your lord asked just now is actually one of our external appraisers..."
Angel: "Appraiser? Appraise what, these bloodstones?"
Baby Tooth Papa nodded: "Yes, he calls himself a parrot. He is a human wizard, and he is a wizard on the bloodline side. He knows all kinds of magic blood very well. Even if the blood stone on our side is covered by confusion, he It can also be judged from some characteristics, what kind of magic blood mine will appear in it."
The "obstacle" that Baby Tooth Papa spoke of is undoubtedly the breath of the Sea of Empty Mirrors.
Angel: "So, he has been working with you for a long time?"
Baby Tooth Papa nodded: "It's been a while, we have been in contact with the parrot before the routine gathering."
According to Baby Tooth Papa, the parrot had served as an appraiser for the Bloodstone Casino half a month ago. However, the parrot was at the Bloodstone Casino in Castle Pippi at the time.
Baby Tooth Papa: "He seems to have been living in Pippi Castle. This time, he came to a routine meeting with Piluxiu... By the way, the parrot is cooperating with us, and it seems that he intends to leave the mirror domain, but the mirror domain channel is right. As far as we Jinghai scholars are concerned, it is also a secret, and we did not agree to him. However, seeing his ability to identify bloodstones, we did not refuse him..."
These words of Baby Tooth Papa are basically consistent with the information they got from the parrot before.
Parrot also said that he wanted to ask the Tooth Fairy to help him leave the Mirror Realm, but it didn't take shape in the end.
Angel: "The parrot came here just now, right?"
Baby Tooth Papa nodded: "Yes, I came with this person in the illusion."
Angel: "What did they do here?"
Baby Tooth Papa thought for a while: "I didn't do anything, just helped me identify a small batch of newly arrived bloodstones."
"Speaking of which, there are no high-level magic blood mines in this batch of new bloodstones."
Angel: "...There is no need to say these things."
Baby Tooth Papa nodded obediently.
Angel thought for a while and continued: "Then have you seen the parrot communicating with its companion?"
Baby Tooth Papa nodded without hesitation: "Yes, they have been chatting."
Angel's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "Then did you hear what they were talking about?"
Baby Tooth Papa thought about it seriously: "I didn't listen to the specifics of the conversation. But basically it was the parrot talking, and his companions rarely spoke."
