Chapter 3498 Edward

As Gleipnir spoke, he took out his stick and tapped it on the ground.

 In an instant, the stars twinkled.

Countless stars rose from the ground, forming a starry sky gate in front of them.

"please."

Gleipnir pointed to the Starry Sky Gate and said to Edward.

Edward looked at the Starry Sky Gate. He couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the door from the outside. He could only see a void of darkness and a few bright white stars.

It’s like connecting to a distant and eternal land of stars.

Edward was silent for a moment and asked: "Behind the door is..."

 Gleipnir: “A safe place to chat.”

If Gleipnir had taken him directly to a hidden space, Edward might really be willing; but this kind of unknown portal made him very cautious.

Once upon a time, he just made a mistake and entered the ritual world and became a character in it.

Edward stood there for a long time. Finally, he sighed: "I hope my premonition won't trick me."

 Edward finally walked in with his eyes closed.

When Edward disappeared through the Starry Sky Gate, Gleipnir turned his head and looked to the other side of the room: "You come too."

In the originally empty space, an elegant outline slowly emerged.

It is Mr. Fan Guanjia.

He actually followed Graipnir into the hairdressing area, but Graipnir was discovered by Edward because he used the power of the stars; but Butler Fan did not show any trace from beginning to end.

Steward Fan thought about it and was ready to refuse. It's not that he doesn't want to go, but he thinks that Gleipnir alone should be able to handle the things here.

 He would follow him before, mainly because he was worried that Edward would resist. But now that he has chosen to openly cooperate, his work seems to be over.

 The outside world is too dirty, and he wants to return to the space of words.

Graipnir saw Butler Fan's "homely" thoughts at a glance, and said before he could speak: "Edward has a very special ability. Maybe he can play some wonderful roles when facing the Doom Puppet. "

After finishing speaking, Gleipnir turned around and walked into the starry sky gate.

After thinking about it for a moment, Butler Fan sighed softly and walked towards the star gate.

 …

 In the Yinsen space.

Laplace put away the illusion live broadcast and exhaled a long breath.

Although the live broadcast was delayed by four or five seconds, it was still a bit of a waste of energy for her as a new anchor. Constructing dynamic pictures with high-precision details is a test of computing power.

She now understands that in terms of calculation power, her clone is probably not as good as Angel.

 In other words, most extraordinary beings of the same level cannot compare to the illusion system in terms of computing power.

Only through personal experience can one understand the terrifying consumption of computing power caused by setting up an illusion.

When Angel was live broadcasting, he was really relaxed and freehand; but when Laplace was live broadcasting, even if there was a delay, it was still difficult to be absolutely relaxed.

 Laplace: "They are coming."

Angor: "Huh?"

Angor was still curious before, why did Laplace suddenly turn off the illusion? Because Gleipnir is taking Edward to a hidden space, can't the live broadcast be done there?

 But now listening to Laplace’s tone, it seems...

Angor: "Is the hidden space that the Starry Sky Gate leads to Yinsen?"

Before Laplace could reply, a door emitting starlight suddenly opened in the black forest not far away.

The next second, a crystal-eyed hipster with crystal luster all over his body and a sky-cannon wig walked out of the starry sky gate.

This person is none other than Edward who appeared in the illusion live broadcast before.

 Seeing Edward's appearance, Angel's eyes flashed with realization. Sure enough, the starry sky gate opened by Gleipnir is the entrance to Yinsen space.

Angor always thought that there was only one entrance to the Yinsen space. So, could there be more than one entrance?

Perhaps seeing Angel's doubts, Laplace said calmly: "Gleipnir can manipulate the power of the stars and open up short-distance teleportation..."

Yinsen Space currently has only one entrance.

The reason why Graipnir can open the door into Yinsen space is because she has the ability to open space passages.

 She used the power of the starry sky to open the transmission channel and arrived at the periphery of Yinsen's space coordinates. And with Laplace's permission, the power of the starry sky spread.

It looks like the Yinsen entrance opens directly from a distance, but it actually goes through three levels: teleportation, permission application, and customs entry.

Among Laplace's current incarnations, only Gleipnir can remotely enter Yinsen space. People like Luigi... have no spatial properties at all and can't even do the first step.

While Laplace was explaining, Edward had already walked towards the tea party.

 In Edward's eyes, he only has three destinations to go to now.

 Run to the black forest behind. If you can run out, you may be able to escape successfully. But he knew very well that since the old lady asked him to teleport here just now, she must have arranged a trick. If she ran into the mysterious black forest, she might just end up in a cocoon.

 So, he can only move forward now.

 There are two places ahead that are obviously popular.

 One is a very grand-looking building... Judging from the light transmitted through the glass windows, it seems to be a library inside, with many people moving around.

There is another one, which is a tea party bathed in lightning and thunderclouds.

There are already three people sitting on the tea table... no, four people. One person's silhouette is so faint that if you don't pay attention, it seems to be hidden in the air.

Where are you going? Library or tea party?

 In the end, Edward chose to go to the tea party by the lake.

 Because as soon as he entered this strange space, at least three of the four people at the tea party looked at him.

 Perhaps, we can learn from their mouths what is going on here.

He was caught again, and this time he hoped not to be put in a cage again... Edward sighed in his heart at his ups and downs, and then walked towards the tea party.

He had just walked into the tea party, and before he could say anything, he saw the originally normal tea table suddenly jumping on its four legs, as if to express joy for the visitor.

Even the teacup on the table opened its mouth and hummed a song to express welcome. This was the first time Edward saw the dancing tea table. He paused, then put one hand on his chest, bowed and said, "Good morning everyone... No, it should be good afternoon now."

While talking, Edward was also observing the people on the tea table.

 A bleary-eyed and sleepy-looking... bard? He is said to be a bard because he is holding a harp in one hand and wearing a feathered felt hat common to bards on his head.

 A girl with long silver hair and strange eyes. She had an indifferent expression and was sitting on the main seat. She should be the host of the tea party.

 There was another girl who looked very similar to her, the one he almost ignored before. Her outline was extremely indifferent, as if she was invisible at any time. However, this girl's hair is translucent, and her eyes are a mixture of dark blue and emerald.

 The last one looks like a human being, with red hair and golden eyes. He is very young, and seems to be somewhere between a teenager and a young man. His face also has the same temperament. But he has a pair of cat ears on his head... Moreover, these cat ears also exude some kind of mysterious aura. The aura is very weak, as if they are the creation of some mysterious thing?

After Edward said hello to everyone on the tea table, only the cat-eared boy smiled and nodded at him.

After judgement, Edward estimated that it would be best for this cat-eared boy to speak.

Thinking of this, Edward returned his greetings to the cat-eared boy and asked where this place was.

However, before the cat-eared boy could reply, Edward heard a familiar and old voice coming from behind him: "This is the place where we are talking, specifically where... you can call it Yinsen."

Edward looked back and saw two more figures stepping out of the starry sky door that had been opened at the edge of the black forest.

One of them is the old lady with a stick wrapped in stars that we saw before.

 The other one was an elegant man wearing a black tuxedo. Judging from his temperament, he reminded Edward of the butler at the Knight's Castle.

"Pick a seat and sit down." Mrs. Zhuzhang pointed to the remaining empty seats on the tea table and said to Edward.

Edward originally wanted to sit next to the cat-eared boy, but to the left of the cat-eared boy was a silver-haired girl in the main seat, and to the right was a shadowy translucent girl, who was really not seated.

 Edward thought for a while and sat next to the bard.

 Compared to the two girls with different eyes who looked almost identical and even had the same indifferent expressions, this somewhat decadent poet seemed to be easier to talk to.

 After Edward sat down, Graipnir and Butler Fan also sat down one after another, and they all sat opposite Edward. If you ignored the others present, Edward felt that he was being interrogated by the three courts.

After sitting down, the thick book on the tea table opened automatically: "I haven't seen such a lively scene in a long time. Since it is so lively, there must be something to drink. Everyone, please..."

Before he could say "look", Gleipnir reached out with his crutch and held down the thick book.

 “You won’t drink anything, it’s not a tea party now, so shut up.”

The thick-covered book pouted in grievance: “…”

But after the thick-covered book remained silent, Gleipnir raised his head and glanced at the thunderclouds in the sky: "Zeus, please stay away from me and don't hit people randomly."

 Zeus did not move at all, his eyes fixed on Angel: "???"

Unable to bear the threatening look in Gleipnir's eyes, Zeus could only symbolically float above Angel's head.

 The shadow of the thundercloud over the tea table dissipated, leaving a little more light.

Grapnir then looked at Edward opposite: "Introduce yourself."

 Edward thought for a while and said, "My name is Edward, and I was once a human."

　　After a pause, seeing Gleipnir still staring at him, Edward added: "I was born in the Southern Region, and I am a makeup and hair artist. My hobby is making wigs."

“The wigs displayed in Baibo Teeth Dyeing Shop are all made by me. Um...when you leave here, can you return the wigs to me? There are wigs that I treasure there.”

Gleipnir did not say a word, but moved his gaze to Luigi.

Luigi was stunned for a few seconds before he stretched out his index finger and pointed at himself: "Huh?"

 “Introduce yourself.” Gleipnir said calmly.

 Luigi: “Should I introduce you too?”

 After Luigi asked, he immediately recalled that Gleipnir asked them to introduce themselves, which was actually a gesture.

 By understanding each other, we can create an atmosphere of mutual trust and be able to better extract the information in Edward's mind.

 Luigi: "My name is Luigi and I am a poet."

 After Luigi’s introduction, Lapras and the shadow clone also said their names, but the name the shadow clone said was directly “Phantom”.

Angor’s introduction to himself was just a name, and he didn’t say anything more.

Butler Fan said: "I'm just a steward, you can call me 'Fan'."

Steward Fan is very low-key, but it would be really stupid to treat him as an ordinary butler.

Gleipnir was the last one to make the introduction, but she introduced a little more than the others. Not only did she introduce her name, but she also clearly pointed out: "I am an astrologer. So, everything you said , I can confirm whether it is true or not through divination. You'd better tell the truth, and don't deliberately tell half-truths and hide important information."

Edward is naturally not stupid. He knows very well that other people's self-introduction is an attitude of showing communication; and Gleipnir's threat is the prerequisite for "sincere" communication.

Edward: "Don't worry, as long as I can say it, I will definitely say it all. Those things that I can't say, I will tell you."

Gleipnir raised his eyebrows: "There's no way to tell?"

Edward smiled bitterly: "I definitely can't say anything about the shackles of the contract. However, these things related to the contract are almost all my personal privacy and have nothing to do with the person you are looking for... I guess you are not interested in me personally. I’m probably not too interested in privacy either.”

 Edward knew very well that he was found because he occupied someone else's body.

 The person Gleipnir is looking for should be the consciousness of this original body.

As long as the question is not about his personal privacy, but is related to the original consciousness, then he can speak straightforwardly without any problem.

Gleipnir: "Let's start with the question I asked you when we were outside before. Who are you? Why do you want to occupy this body? Where is the original owner of this body?"

The "who are you" here is not asking about Edward's name, but about his origin.

Edward knew that he would definitely be questioned. He had been sorting out his words before. When he heard Gleipnir's question, he pondered: "It's a long story... everything is actually a coincidence."

 Edward comes from Lorenbier in the Southern Region.

This is an extraordinary city located on Deer Island, and it is also a place for communication with extraordinary creatures. There are extraordinary creatures for sale everywhere, and there are even smuggled alien creatures.

The two most famous magazines in the Southern Territory, "The Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "The Magical Treasures Where to Find Them", were both produced by Lorenbier.

 Edward comes from a small wizarding family in Lorenbier, the Heron family.

The Heron family is mainly engaged in the fur business. The so-called fur tribe is similar to cats, dogs, and rabbits, but they must be extraordinary creatures.

Although Edward has lived in this atmosphere since he was a child, he has developed a rebellious streak. He is not interested in the fur business, but he is very interested in the various kinds of fluff that the fur people have on their bodies.
