Chapter 3196 Crystal Book

 On the other side, Angel and Laplace, led by Quintra, came to the rock temple.

The Rock Temple is located deep in a dense forest, and its appearance is very similar to the rainforest ruins that adventurers love.

 The magnificent and dazzling palace is located on a small island in the middle of the lake. The palace looks plain from a distance, but up close you can see various geometric aesthetic lines.

Different from the low-key style outside the palace, the interior of the palace is very exquisite, with crystal murals and gem sculptures everywhere. If Luigi was here, he would probably like it very much. It is full of artistic beauty.

Walking along the corridor of sculptures of unknown creatures, they finally came to a hall bathed in a halo.

There was no one in the hall, only a crystal book larger than Angel's body, placed in the center, illuminated by various beams of light. These furnishings all show that the most important and crucial thing in this palace is this crystal book.

As Quintra approached, the crystal book opened automatically without wind.

When the crystal book was opened, the shadow of an old man with a beard poked his upper body out of the book.

Angor could feel that there was no soul power swinging around him, and there was no breath of illusion. This old man with a beard must not be a soul.

However, he gave Angel a very familiar sense of déjà vu, a bit like the feeling when facing a tree spirit or a wood spirit.

 “The spirit of the book?” Angel murmured in a low voice.

The old man with the beard glanced at Angel, and as if in response to Angel, he snorted: "Huh, human wizard."

After speaking, the old man with a beard looked at Laplace next to Angel. After looking up and down, he said in a suspicious tone: "Time body?"

Laplace ignored the bearded old man, but turned to Angel and said: "Gleipnir once mentioned that there is a blue steel diamond dragon who loves to transform into giants, and there is a man named Oro living in his castle. Elsandra’s book-spirited butler.”

 The implication is that this old man with a beard is most likely the book spirit butler.

The old man with a beard looked at Laplace in surprise, and murmured in a low voice: "Gleipnir?!...How do you know this devil! No, she signed a contract at the beginning, and she doesn't know the Kingdom of Hundred Dragons. The matter was leaked..."

 “I understand, you are...that person?!”

Gleipnir will not reveal secrets, but what she knows will definitely be known by other incarnations. Therefore, this girl with strange eyes is definitely the same person!

The bearded old man suddenly retreated and pointed at Laplace with a horrified expression.

 He still remembers the harm that Gleipnir caused him. That same being might be even worse than Gleipnir!

 The bearded old man had resentment in his heart, but more than resentment, he was afraid.

The other party is a terrifying being that even the Hundred Dragons Kingdom is unwilling to provoke!

Laplace still did not give any reaction. Besides, she is not a temporal body, she is a clone of the original body.

Laplace continued to say to Angel: "Gleipnir once made a critical review of Alsandra. She said that generally speaking, book spirits are wise and knowledgeable, just like those in the Southern Region. The book is the same; but Alsandro is a little different, its incarnation is a centaur and half horse."

“Centaurs are synonymous with divination: alcoholism, violence and lust.”

“Although Alsandra is not a true centaur, he also has some centaur characteristics.”

 “Alcoholism.”

When Laplace said this, the old man with the beard seemed to remember something sad. He wailed and lay down on the page of the crystal book, with a look of despair on his face.

“Steward Alsandro, what’s wrong with you?” Quintra didn’t expect that he had just brought Angel here, and before he even spoke, he saw the always arrogant Alsandro suddenly wilting.

Olsandra said in a feeble voice: "Madam, please stop talking. I, I really don't want to recall that nightmare."

 “Nightmare?” Angel looked at Laplace with curiosity in his eyes.

Laplace never cared about what other people thought. Seeing that Angel wanted to listen, he was ready to continue.

At this moment, Alsandra suddenly said: "Forget it, instead of letting the lady reveal my scars, it is better for me to speak for myself..."

Olsandra raised his head, looked at the unknown distance with confused eyes, and whispered about what happened at that time.

The thing is actually very simple. To sum it up in one sentence, Gleipnir is leaving all the fine wines that Alsandra has collected.

The euphemistic name is to help a fallen book spirit return to his duties.

The master of Alsandra, the blue steel diamond dragon, had no doubts and directly agreed.

At that time, during the young dragon incident, Graipnir, as a diviner, helped the Hundred Dragons Kingdom a lot. Although he had already paid him, the Mirror Dragon of the Hundred Dragons Kingdom did not mind more Give some items to build a good relationship with Gleipnir. So, when she asked for Alsandro's collection of wine, she must be satisfied, right?

After discovering that Gleipnir likes "fine wine", Blue Steel Diamond Dragon even said directly: "If we find better wine in the future, we will give it to you first."

 In the past, the Blue Steel Diamond Dragon would also ask his subordinates to find fine wine in order to satisfy Alsandra's alcohol addiction.

Now, the fine wine they found is just given to Gleipnir to choose, and the remaining wine is given to Alsandro.

 In the view of Blue Steel Diamond Dragon, this is the “best of both worlds” approach.

But in Alsandro's view, Gleipnir not only robbed all the fine wines in his collection, but also selected the good wines first and kept the bad ones for himself when new wines came in the future.

 How angry he was! What a lamentation!

But no matter how angry or resentful he is, he doesn't dare to resist... The blue steel diamond dragon is very strong, and the backer behind Gleipnir is even stronger.

 So, he could only silently endure the unbearable weight of life.

This is Alsandra's nightmare, and it is also the reason why he had such a big reaction when he heard the name Gleipnir.

 After hearing this, Angel also sympathized with Alsandra.

 Because as far as he knew, Gleipnir was not keen on drinking at all.

However, based on Angel’s understanding of Gleipnir, she should not just be dissatisfied with the reason why Alsandra was targeted at Alsandra.

Angel looked at Laplace curiously.

 Laplace did not speak this time, but said to Angel via voice transmission: "Gleipnir hates centaurs..."

To put it bluntly, Alsandra was angry.

Grapnir himself was not harmed by a centaur, but his body is made up of memories, including not only the memories of Laplace, but also the memories she fished out from the sea of ​​empty mirrors.

 The memory that occupies the main body of time is also Gleipnir's current "appearance" - a diviner.

In this fortune teller’s memory, she was abandoned by a centaur and hated the centaur.

This memory also extends to Gleipnir.

 It also caused Gleipnir to dislike centaurs.

 In fact, Laplace could have eliminated this part of the memory when she created the temporal body, but she chose to keep it. Because emotional memory is a driving force, it may not be the most important part of memory, but it is the most indispensable link in weaving the body and personality.

 Without this "hate", the body may not be as complete as it is now.

Similarly, the reason why Luigi loves art so much is also inherited from his original memory. This enthusiasm and love, like the fortune teller's hatred of centaurs, are the web that forms the personality.

 If it is missing, it means that the net of personality is leaking.

After Angel learned this secret, he felt more sympathy for Alsandra... However, Gleipnir did not do anything, and just asked for some wine, which shows that her understanding of herself has gradually transcended. Lost the original memory. Otherwise, based on the memory of the original person, the end result of expressing his anger will definitely not be just fine wine, but even Alsandro's ashes will be spread.

On the other side, Alsandro, who had told the whole story, lay limply on the crystal tree page. It seemed that Quintra didn't know how to comfort Alsandro, so he could only stretch out his paw and pat him silently. shoulders.

"Things have passed, I have actually..." Alsandra wanted to say 'I have let go', but the word 'let go' could not be said.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about this nightmare anymore." Alsandra turned to look at Quintera: "If you feel sorry for me, just buy me a few bottles of wine outside. The wine at Charles Palace is quite good. OK."

Quintra hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

At this time, Laplace sent a message to Angel: "The wine in Charles Palace was sold by Gleipnir."

 Angel: “…”

　Ah, this…

He was still thinking that Gleipnir didn't drink, but where did the wine go? Unexpectedly, it was sold to Charles Palace.

Angor looked at Alsandra with pity, but it was better not to tell him this miserable fact.

 “You are a good dragon.” Alsandra said gratefully to Quintra.

Quintra, who was issued the 'Good Dragon Card', did not comment on the purchase of wine. Instead, he pointed at Angel and Laplace and said, "These two are distinguished guests of Mr. Cuculus. They are here." , I want to see the transaction list here in Yandian."

When Angor was on the road, he told Quintela that he wanted to see the products of the Hundred Dragon Kingdom.

 As for the products of the Hundred Dragon Kingdom this time, almost 90% of them are in the Rock Palace.

Jumbo Dragon’s name is not for nothing. Compared with other mirror dragons, the treasure dragon lineage is more interested in collecting all kinds of strange things, especially shiny gems.

 The blue steel diamond dragon belongs to the treasure dragon. He is also the one with the largest collection of gems.

 In addition, it has Alsandro, a butler who is very good at managing treasury, so this time Alsandro will come to this party with the treasure dragon lineage.

"The trading list? The party just started and I haven't sorted it out yet... But it doesn't matter, I'll sort it out now." Olsandra didn't know who Angel was, but Laplace was very interested in this human being. If you care so much, your identity must not be simple.

So, even though Alsandra was still a little listless, he still cheered up and started looking for the crystal book.

 The Crystal Book is Alsandra's ontology and his recorded text.

 It didn’t take long for Alsandra to find this transaction list.

 He raised his head and looked at Angel: "I don't know, what kind of product do you want to see? I can find it for you."

Angor: “What is the main product?”

Alsandro: "Are the customers asking about the main products of the Treasure Dragon line? Or the main products of other mirror dragons?"

　　…"Jewel Dragon."

Alsandro continued: "Then what type of Jumbo Dragon's flagship product is the customer asking about?"

 Jumbo Dragon is just a general name. It includes various gem dragons, including diamond dragons, gold-pink dragons, mercury dragons, Algar dragons, arcane dragons, etc.

After listening to Olsandra's long list of words, Angel felt like his brain was swollen.

“Don’t talk about anything else, just talk about the most distinctive products here.”

 Olsandro: "Then..."

Angor took the lead and said: "Don't ask me about my definition of characteristics, you can figure it out yourself."

Olsandra pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, guest, please read this page."

The moment Olsandra finished speaking, the crystal book happened to turn to a certain page. The huge page was densely filled with words that Angel didn't recognize.

Laplace could understand this kind of text, but she didn't explain it and directly gave Olsandra a cold look.

The latter shuddered and quickly changed the text on the page into common text.

This time, Angel can understand.

 The whole page was also written very densely, but what surprised Angel was that more than half of such densely packed pages were introducing the same product.

 A very special product that Angel has never seen anywhere else.

 His name is human feelings.

 "Humanqing" was translated by Alsandro. It is estimated that the original text is "龙情". Anyway, the meaning is similar, that is, selling all kinds of favors.

 But this "favor" is not the mirror dragon's own, but the favor owed to the mirror dragon by other races.

 For example, this first row is a favor owed by a Jinghai scholar.

Furthermore, Angor, the Mirror Sea scholar, also knows him.

“The favor of Mirror Sea scholar ‘Dragon Ya. Qin’.”

“A favor that Dragon Ya Qin handed over in order to read a secret book from the Kingdom of Hundred Dragons.”

"Ryuga Qin has recognized that the favor can be transferred, but after the transfer, those who seek her to exchange the favor must abide by the following points: 1. She must not be allowed to do anything without a bottom line; 2. The favor exchange proposed must not be directed at the Tooth Fairy Gu Ruins; 3…"

“The specific value of the favor is for the exchanger to estimate by himself.”

“If Longya Qin does not abide by the rules of favor exchange, it can be handed over to the Hundred Dragon Kingdom for arbitration.”

 With a few simple lines of words, Long Ya and Qin’s favor was traded as a commodity.

Angor was really eye-opening after seeing it. In his opinion, favor was something that was difficult to measure, but in the Kingdom of Hundred Dragons, favor was a commodity that could be traded.

From this, it can also be seen that the foundation of the Hundred Dragons Divine Kingdom is too deep. It is not that they do not want the favor of 'Dragon Tooth Qin', but it is most likely that the things paid by 'Dragon Tooth Qin' are not valued by the Hundred Dragons Divine Kingdom.

 He simply transferred the favor.
