Latest website: Why are you getting older?

This is what the newly emerged Jingmu clan said to Cassata.

Literally, he seems to be "feeling" or "wondering" why Cassata has suddenly aged.

However, the deeper meaning is interesting.

First, he must know Cassata. In other words, the "old friend" that Cassata whispered to him at the beginning should be this one.

And old friend means old friend or old friend. Generally speaking, they refer to friends who have known each other for many years. Cassata has become a member of the Elders' House six hundred years ago, and the natural lifespan of the Jingmu clan is generally seven hundred to one thousand years old. Cassata has obviously reached the end of his lifespan. His old friend is probably several hundred years old?

But this crystal-eyed man with a single earring looks more like a young man than an old man. This is one of the doubts.

Also, since Cassata has reached the end of his lifespan, it is natural for his appearance to "age" without any external intervention.

In other words, at his current age, Cassata should have shown his age.

Considering this, what the Jingmu clan wearing a single earring said is very interesting.

Combined with his previous speculations, he seemed to not understand why his "old friend" Cassata suddenly became so senile.

It was as if he had been sleeping for too long, or had been isolated from the world for too long. He was in a utopia where time was frozen, and he was completely unaware of the passing of time in the outside world.

At this point, there is a lot of room for wild imagination.

Where was he before this? Why don't you know how time flies? Why do old friends grow old but I remain young?

And... why does his appearance require the use of rituals? And the location of this ceremony was chosen at the ring fortress where people should come and go?

Further speculation is that the ring fort was chosen for the ceremony, or was it that the Jingmu clan built the ring fort originally to serve the ceremony? If it's the latter, it's horrifying to think about.

You know, the internal structure of Crystal City is composed of ring forts connected in series.

While Angel was meditating, Luigi on the side received a new message: "Gleipnir reproduced the appearance of the Crystal-Eyed Tribe just now by means of mirror reflection."

The so-called mirror reflection is to present the image in the form of a mirror.

"Grapnir's original intention was to determine the identity of this Jingmu clan through Farda's identification. But unfortunately, Farda did not know this person, and she had never even seen him at all. "

"In Fada's own words, it's——"

"He has a very distinctive appearance, especially his pair of long ears that look like an elf, which are extremely rare among the Crystal Eyes tribe. But it's strange that I haven't seen him in Crystal City."

What Fa Da said actually means is that his appearance is very recognizable and he has extremely rare long ears. He should be the object of heated discussion among the Jingmu tribe. In other words, he can become a famous figure in the gossip world.

But Fada had never seen such a unique existence in Crystal City, which made her very confused.

Fada was confused, but her words confirmed Angel's suspicion.

This Crystal-Eyed Clan who manifested through an unknown ritual may have been "isolated" from the world for a long time. It has been so long that when he sees Cassata, he always wonders why the other person has grown old. It has been so long that Fada, who is in Crystal City, People who have been together for nearly four hundred years have never seen each other's appearance.

Angel expressed his guess.

Lapras raised his eyebrows and said nothing; Luigi remained silent... It's not that Luigi thought of anything, it was simply because he was communicating with Gleipnir through mind synchronization.

Half a minute later, Luigi said: "Your guess is correct. However, there is obviously a phenomenon of chaotic time on his body, and what this chaotic phenomenon manifests in him is: time stops passing, or time stops flowing. The passage of time slows down. And being isolated from the world does not cause chaos, so there should be deeper secrets here."

"Grapnir has already made a guess, and this guess may be the core piece of the 'jigsaw puzzle' she is looking for."

Luigi paused: "Wait a moment, the answer should come out soon."

As expected, the remaining puzzle pieces are hidden in Hilda's study. When all the puzzle pieces come together, that's when the secret is revealed.

Even though Grapnir already had a guess, she still had to find the remaining puzzle pieces and find important evidence to support her guess.

…

While waiting for Gripnir to find the puzzle piece, Angel and others set out on their way to the siege party again.

The passage they took before was basically dark. The only advantage was that there was only one path. There will be no forks in the road, just keep moving forward and you will always reach the end.

Now, the first half of this passage was the same as before, but as they moved forward, not only did the passage become wider and wider, the light became brighter and brighter, and there were even forks in the road.

However, although there are forks in the road, there are signposts at each intersection to ensure that you will not get lost.

As for why this situation suddenly occurred, according to Luigi's explanation, the main station of the siege party was getting closer and closer, and the various passages would converge. After all, if there is no merger, wouldn’t the main siege party station be full of passages, worse than a sieve?

And hundreds of channels will eventually merge into ten main channels.

They should be walking on one of the ten main passages now.

So, will we meet people coming out of other channels later? Angel looked at the forks in the road that kept appearing, thinking so in his heart.

Before the thought came to an end, Angel heard the sound of "thump, thump, thump".

The source of the sound came from a fork in the road ahead.

"Is someone coming?" Angel whispered.

Luigi nodded: "It's hard to say whether they are 'human' or not. Although there are many humanoid races in the Sun Mirror Region, the dominant ones are non-human races."

Mirror dragons, for example, are not humanoid.

However, this loud "thump thump thump" sound was obviously not made by the mirror dragon.

This sound was different from the footsteps in Angel's memory. From an auditory perspective, it sounded a bit like... the sound of a blind stick.

When a blind man holds a stick and touches the ground with its tip, the sound it makes is so crisp.

However, the sound now is only the sound of the blind stick hitting the ground, not the sound of the blind man's feet. So, it may not be a blind stick.

While Angel was guessing silently, the sound got closer and closer, and finally, 'he' walked out of the crystal-like fork in the road.

When 'him' appeared, Angel was obviously stunned for a second, because the other person looked so much like a wood spirit.

To be precise, it is the "stickman" that the wood spirit changes into.

However, this one is even stronger and taller than the "stick man", and can be called an enlarged version of the stick man, or a "bamboo pole man".

Literally means "bamboo pole".

His body is a pitch-black stick, like a fire stick or a black iron bamboo pole. The hands are also slender poles, one section at a time, and his legs... well, there are no clear legs. The stick is straight from head to toe.

Therefore, what he calls "walking" is actually jumping up and down, and the stick falls to the ground, so the sound it makes is so similar to a blind stick.

Although his body is a black stick and he has no defined legs, he does have facial features.

After he came out of the fork in the road, he obviously noticed Angel and others behind him. He turned around and looked back, so Angel saw his face.

Similarly, he has no so-called head, and his face is also on a straight stick. He couldn't see his nose, his mouth was split, and a row of bright fangs could be seen. His eyes were inverted crescent moons with a scarlet interior, giving people a sinister and malicious feeling.

When the bamboo pole man saw Angel and the others, his crooked scarlet eyes flickered, as if he wanted to get closer.

However, before he could make any move, he saw Laplace's indifferent pair of strange children.

Laplace didn't say anything, just stared at him blankly.

That look... looked down upon others with disdain as always.

Being stared at by such eyes, according to his character, he should be angry, but this time, he didn't feel any anger at all. His emotions were frozen by an inexplicable coldness.

Although he didn't know why, he already understood that these people were not easy to mess with.

He was silent for a moment, smiled what he thought was a kind smile to Angel and others, and then disappeared the next second.

Baimeng book

He did not disappear out of thin air. Angel could feel that his power was somewhat similar to that of the Cantor wizard. His so-called disappearance was actually blending into the darkness and leaving quickly along the darkness.

However, compared to the ability of Wizard Canter, the fluctuations on his body are much more obvious. At least when Wizard Canter merges into the darkness, Angel cannot sense his existence. As for this one, the fluctuations can be detected through the barrier.

But I have to say that although the fluctuations on his body are large, the speed is quite fast.

He left Angel's range of perception almost instantly, and now he had no idea where he was going.

"Oh, I unexpectedly met the Changhuo clan, so unlucky!"

While Angel was still staring at the empty distance, Luigi's cold snort came to his ears.

"Changhuo clan, are you talking about the large stick figure just now?" Angel asked curiously.

Luigi nodded, with an obvious look of disgust on his face: "Yes, this race's reputation in the Sun Mirror Realm is better than that of Pilusi, but in my opinion, they are actually more disgusting than Pilusi. ."

"At least, when I go to find Baba Legon, if the mood comes, I will play the piano in front of Piluxiu. But the Changhuo clan, haha, even if Hua Ningjing invites me to go, I won't go! Dog! Don’t even go to the show!”

"The dogs won't go...and you won't go either...then you are..." Angel muttered in a low voice.

Luigi glared angrily: "Don't catch me, I'm expressing my disgust for the Changhuo tribe! I don't even understand why the major ethnic groups hate Pilu Xiu more. At least Pi Lu Xiu still has a spiritual light. But the Changhuo tribe has nothing but trouble every day. They are like mosquitoes in the White Sun Mirror Realm, and they have no benefit except sucking blood."

This was the first time that Angel heard Luigi express such dissatisfaction with a certain race. This made Angel a little curious. How did this long-tempered tribe offend Luigi?

"I haven't offended me, I just can't stand some of their actions!" Luigi still said angrily, and there was no other substance in his words other than expressing emotions.

Angel could only focus on Laplace.

Laplace also understood what Angel meant, and introduced the "Changzhuo Clan".

The Changhuo tribe lives in the mirror space: the Valley of Split. They seem to be naturally close to darkness and can control the power of darkness and the power of shadow.

Their names are "confused", but it is not charming, but fan-confused.

They are born to stir up confusion and love to sow discord, provoke confrontation and divide various ethnic groups. However, they not only do this externally, they also attack and criticize each other internally, dividing and opposing each other.

Originally, the place where they lived was called "Shadow Valley", but then several Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks appeared from the Changhuo tribe. They provoked disputes externally and the confrontation between "darkness" and "shadow" internally, so the Shadow Valley It was split into the Valley of Darkness and the Valley of Shadows, which led to a complete split within the Changhuo Clan, hence the name Valley of Split.

The reason why Luigi hates the Clan is because of their tricks.

Although the Changzhuo clan did not use any means to seduce Luigi, they provoked many disputes in the Forbidden City, one of which made Luigi very angry.

This dispute can be summed up in one sentence: the Changhuo tribe created a fanning performance called "elegant art".

It sounds complicated, but it actually puts the definitions of "graceful music" and "secular music" in the human world into the royal city.

A certain musical instrument is elegant music, and a certain musical instrument is secular music. A certain piece of music is as elegant as snow, and a certain piece of music is as vulgar as a bad one.

The methods of the Changhuo Clan are not clever, but they are very good at grasping people's hearts.

In the end, this dispute really started.

To Luigi, this was unreasonable and a stain. Therefore, he hates the Changhuo clan extremely.

Of course, the Changhuo tribe didn't really fan Huo just for the sake of fanning Huo. They also got a lot of benefits from the dispute. Every dispute brings them huge profits.

Their current reputation is better than that of Pilu Xiu, and they also use money to buy people's hearts.

As for why they "buy people's hearts", naturally it's not really for fame. This is also their method of confusing: to provoke some people, appease some people, bribe some people, and suppress some people.

Thus, the cycle of fan confusion was established.

"However, the Changdou tribe is completely useless as Luigi said. They also have advantages." Laplace: "They are very aware of current affairs."

When your power far exceeds that of the Changhuo Clan, and can even crush the Changhuo Clan, then the threat to you from the Changhuo Clan will become smaller, and they may even become a sharp blade in your hands.

And Laplace has the power to completely crush the Changhuo clan, so it is absolutely fine for her to comment on the Changhuo clan's ability to understand current affairs as an advantage.

Angel nodded silently as he recalled the Changhuo clan member who quickly ran away as soon as he realized something was wrong.

Indeed, he is very aware of current affairs.
