Chapter 4148 The Stone Table Conference
"Hey, wait!"
When a faint portal appeared in front of the rabbit girl, a sound suddenly came from the crowd.
Barbaregon led the wealthy merchant and knight through the crowd, but as it called out, the rabbit girl had already pulled Montedan through the door and disappeared.
However, Angel paused for a moment because of Barbaregon's shouts and did not immediately step into the Word Manor.
Upon seeing this, Barbaregun's eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Don't go yet, what exactly does that 'shh' gesture mean?"
As soon as Barbaregon finished speaking, the others around him seemed to realize that they had to escape through the rabbit hole.
Everyone quickly replied, "Yes, what does 'shh' mean?"
"Why were your photos taken so quickly? How did you even get through the game?"
"We don't question your abilities, but we really want to know, what exactly happened in Perfect Mode?"
"Yes, even a reference would be helpful! Even if we don't get the Sand Table Master this time, we'll have experience to draw next time we go to other areas!"
Everyone was talking about it.
Angell did not reply, but simply extended his right index finger and lightly touched his lips, as if replicating the "shh" from the photograph taken at that time.
The crowd fell silent for a moment because of Angell's action.
Angell: "You'll find out the details soon. Don't worry, the perfect walkthrough will be attached soon."
"The previously omitted footage was just a trailer. If you don't know what a 'trailer' means, you can check the video-related information at the Rabbit Town Library."
“You’ll understand what I mean when you understand the concept of a ‘trailer’.”
After speaking, Angell placed one hand on his chest, took a step back, and bent slightly at the waist.
The moment I looked up, the figure slowly disappeared and entered the Word Manor.
All that remains are the lingering discussions in the air.
Although they didn't get a direct answer, Angell's words provided guidance. In a sense, their gathering to observe had achieved its purpose.
The crowd dispersed.
Meanwhile, inside the Word Manor.
Montedan felt as if he was still on the Crystal Plains one second, and the next second the rabbit girl grabbed his collar. With the other girl's unquestionable certainty, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
The cool breeze of Jingyuan disappeared, and the crowd's attention was shut out, replaced by a blooming rose garden.
The air was filled with the rich fragrance of roses.
But what surprised Montessori most was that there were words floating above every rose... No, not just roses, but every plant and tree here, including the stone tables and chairs, and the swing hanging not far away, all had floating words if you looked closely.
At first, Montessori thought it was a text field annotation, but when he closed the text field, the information was still there.
“Where is this…” Montedan looked around, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"This is the Word Manor," the rabbit girl explained. "This is the reward we received after Laplace and Gleipnir perfectly cleared the dungeon."
"As long as you are in the Dream Crystal Plains, you can enter here at any time."
Just as the rabbit girl finished explaining, Angel's voice came at the right time: "At the same time, this is also one of the gathering places for Dream Mirror. You will come here often in the future."
"After all, you're part of Dream Mirror now."
Montedan glanced at the scenery, so different from Dream Crystal Plains, and nodded gently: "I will integrate as soon as possible."
Angell smiled and nodded, then gestured for everyone to sit on the stone benches in the rose garden.
"We just left Nereid, and we're already having a Stone Table Conference?" Gray Porcelain muttered under his breath.
"The Stone Table Conference?" Montedan cast a curious glance his way.
Gray Porcelain lowered his voice: "We used to hold meetings here, so Gabriel called this the Stone Table Meeting..."
“I see.” Montedan looked enlightened.
Hearing Montedan and Gray Porcelain's whispers, Angel tapped the smooth tabletop with his index finger: "The name 'Stone Table Conference' is quite interesting. However, it's not time for a conference yet."
"I've asked you to sit down so that we can summarize Nereid's shortcomings and look ahead to the next level."
Gray Porcelain nodded thoughtfully. Although he rarely fought, he had read many adventure novels related to "battle". In these novels, whether it was the protagonist or the villain, they would summarize their experiences after each battle and become stronger in the next battle.
Therefore, summarizing is a good thing.
Gray Porcelain was even quite looking forward to it, after all, this was his first time participating in such a post-war debriefing as a "combatant".
But Angell's next words quickly froze his expression.
“However, the task of summarizing and reflecting on our experiences is left to you two.” Angell pointed to Gray Porcelain and the Rabbit Girl.
"how about you?"
Angell: "I certainly won't be idle either. Montedan has just woken up and doesn't know many things, so I'll take care of explaining things to him. You guys just need to summarize it."
Gray Porcelain: "...Okay." Although he felt something was off, it was indeed an urgent matter for Angel to explain things to Montedan.
Next, Gray Porcelain discussed with the Rabbit Girl the shortcomings of this level and possible changes in the future.
As the conversation was in full swing, Gray Porcelain glanced out of the corner of his eye in the direction of Montedan and Angell.
That glance, however, froze him in place.
Montedan was indeed being baptized by "new knowledge." —Angol used illusion magic to create an internal edition of the "Encyclopedia of Dream Crystals" for Montedan to see.
Angell, meanwhile, leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes and feigning sleep.
Gray Porcelain: ...I just said I wouldn't be idle, but then I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
Gray Porcelain wanted to complain, but considering Angel's "identity," she silently withdrew her gaze and continued talking to the rabbit girl.
However, gray porcelain actually misunderstood.
He thought Ingres was resting with his eyes closed, but Ingres was actually quite busy. He was talking to Laplace, who was at the Tooth Fairy's residence, about his experience from a god-like perspective.
After their conversation, Angell turned his attention to the camp below the floating island.
I secretly listened to the discussions of the various squads.
Although the current discussion is still focused on Nereid, rumors occasionally circulate about other levels. Most of these rumors are complaints about the difficulty of each level, but through this gradual accumulation, Angor has gained a deeper understanding of each level.
Next, we'll see if Ifda can bring us more information.
……
Hearing the clamor of footsteps, Angel opened his eyes instantly.
Look in the direction of the sound.
Laplace stretched and walked along the garden path with Gabriel, Iphda, and a somewhat timid Crystal Eye tribesman.
The commotion caused by the newcomer naturally attracted the attention of the rabbit girl and the gray porcelain girl.
"Where are you...?" Laplace asked curiously.
"Make a post-war summary," Gray Porcelain obediently began.
"Post-war debriefing? I see. Then it seems we've come at the wrong time." Laplace said this, but didn't stop walking. He sat down next to the rabbit girl and said, "Don't worry about me, you two continue your conversation."
The rabbit girl shook her head: "No need, everything that needs to be summarized has been summarized. Now it's time to look forward to the new level."
As she spoke the second half of her sentence, the rabbit girl glanced at the Crystal Eye tribesman behind Ifta.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this Crystal Eye Clan member should bring information about the new level.
"This must be Montedan?" Laplace turned his gaze to the half-blood demon who was curiously observing everyone.
Montessard was taken aback: "Ms. Laplace, you know me?"
Laplace said calmly, "Don't you know me too?"
Montedan pointed to the internal version of the Dream Crystal Encyclopedia in his hand, "This contains your information, Madam. Mr. Angel gave it to me."
After speaking, Montedan looked at the giant "sea urchin" floating in mid-air: "I also know that this is Mr. Gabriel."
Gabriel manipulated the illusion puppet and nodded slightly to Montedan: "Your design is very unique, possessing both the cruelty of the abyss and the shrewdness of humanity. I like it very much. For my first impression, I would give you a 9 out of 10... well, out of 10."
After Gabriel and Montessori exchanged a friendly greeting, they floated behind Gray Porcelain and whispered to each other.
Montessori then looked at Laplace.
Laplace understood what he meant and said softly, "Speaking of which, the information about you was also given to me by Angell."
Montedan: "??" Huh, when was this message sent?
Even the gray porcelain looked over curiously.
However, Angel did not explain, only saying "a little trick" to gloss over it, but indirectly admitting that it was indeed Montedan who told Laplace the information.
Laplace: "Let's put those little things aside for now and get down to business."
"Two important things. The first one..." Laplace looked at Montedan: "Although it's a bit late, I still have to add this sentence—welcome to the Dream Mirror."
Gabriel and Gray Porcelain chimed in unison, "That's right, welcome to Dream Mirror!"
Montedan paused for two seconds, then suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully: "It is my honor."
After the enthusiastic atmosphere subsided, Laplace got down to business.
"I'm here not only to congratulate you on successfully clearing Nereid, but also to bring you information about a new level." Laplace pointed to the Crystal-Eyed Clan member behind Ifta.
Do you want to listen to it now?
Gray Porcelain timidly raised her hand: "Is it difficult? Does it require combat?"
"You'll know exactly how difficult it is once you hear about it."
Gray Porcelain lowered her hand: "I...listen."
Laplace then turned to Montedan: "Even though you can't access the other levels, you might as well listen and give us some advice."
“There are also observers in other levels, perhaps you can give us some advice on this.”
Montedan: "I'll try my best."
Laplace said nothing more and looked at Ivota.
Ifda stepped forward, pointed to the timid-looking Crystal Eye Clan member behind her, and said with a hint of reluctance, "His name is Sreita, and he is a warrior of our Crystal Eye Clan."
Warrior? A look of suspicion crossed everyone's faces.
Would the soldiers be afraid? Maybe, but surely not to the point of being afraid here? They're not going to eat people, are they?
Although everyone had doubts, no one voiced them.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Eveda could guess what they were thinking. She sighed helplessly, "Srita is not actually like this anymore. He... has been affected by the Golden Fear, which is why he has become somewhat sensitive."
"Fear of gold?"
Ifda nodded slightly: "The fear of gold comes from the land of gold."
"Sritta's team is challenging the Golden Land, the sixth layer of the puzzle."
Ifda turned to look at Sreita and said softly, "It's your turn to speak. Can you speak now?"
Although Sreita was timid, she nodded gently: "It's okay, I can handle it."
Sreita stepped out from behind Eveda, seemingly having mustered his courage, but he still avoided eye contact with the others.
"I, my name is Sritta, and my squad is called the Assault Team. The level we're trying to conquer is, the Golden City."
Although Sreita has a slight stutter, she has no problem expressing herself.
Moreover, as Sreita spoke, his thoughts became absorbed in her words, and his fear lessened considerably, with his stuttering almost completely disappearing.
"The reason we chose Golden Country is because one of our team members had a romantic relationship with a Helasu. We thought that the Golden Country checkpoint was related to Helasu's hometown, so we chose it."
"Who would have thought..."
Sreita sighed.
Montedan looked completely bewildered, not understanding the connection between Helasu and the Golden City.
Gabriel explained in a timely manner: "Herasu is a race from the Mirror of the Sun, and the country where Hylassu lives is called the Golden Land."
Sreita nodded: "That's right, we chose this level because of the name 'Golden Land.' But once inside, we discovered that this Golden Land has absolutely no connection to Hylasus's hometown."
“Each level of the six-fold puzzle comes from a prototype dungeon. For example, the prototype of Nereid is the Kirishima Dragon Tomb.”
"Logically speaking, Golden City should also have a prototype copy."
"What's strange is that in the Wonderland hints, the prototype of the Golden City is shown as a row of question marks."
As Sreita was speaking, Angel suddenly spoke up:
"Because this instance has not yet arrived in Dream Crystal Plains, or has not yet been discovered, the Wonderland notification is a question mark."
All discovered copies will be marked in the Wonderland information.
For example, if they go to Nereid, there will be a prompt saying "This level is from the Kirishima Dragon Tomb".
However, there are currently only two levels with clear hints: one is [Nereid] from Kirishima Dragon Tomb; the other is [Earth Angel] from World Grinding Sun.
Apart from that, the remaining four levels are all in a question mark state, including [Golden Land].
Sreita nodded: "That's what we were actually guessing too. But its name is too similar to Helasu's hometown, so we're still holding onto a sliver of hope."
"Unfortunately, once we got inside, we realized that luck was useless."
"Golden Land is not a real golden land at all, but a killing field that devours human bones and blood."
