Chapter 4396 Showing Love
She was now completely immersed in the identity of "Vavacili".
Every snort and every movement perfectly replicates the chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) and passion of the summoner in the novel.
This is why Angell felt that she was a completely different person, because she had truly and completely changed her persona.
And that love-struck woodpecker has a power called—Love Reflection.
Simply put, the heart-shaped tuft of hair on its head reflects the emotions of designated living beings in the vicinity, displaying them in seven colors:
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple correspond to seven different basic emotions.
For example, red represents rage, orange represents joy, yellow represents fear, and so on.
The blue arc of light that appeared in the heart-shaped tuft of hair on its head just now represented its doubt.
At that time, Blanche only had Luigi as a living being around her, and she could only use the Love-Bearing Woodpecker to probe Luigi's emotions.
In other words, the "blue" color at that time reflected Luigi's inner emotions.
As for why Luigi has the "Blue Confusion"?
Just look at Ingres and you'll know.
Luigi, like Angel, was completely bewildered by Blanche's sudden change in personality and speech; his confusion perfectly reflected his inner state at that moment.
……
In Uriel's courtyard.
After Blanche's explanation, Luigi realized that her previous change stemmed from a change in her character design.
However, these are all minor incidents; the main focus is on discussing the abilities of the Woodpecker.
“So ‘Love Reflection’ is about reflecting the emotions of the surrounding living beings through the heart on its head…” Luigi looked at the Love-Finding Woodpecker: “Then what is its other ability, ‘Love Display’?”
Yes, the love-loving woodpecker has two abilities: one is to reflect love, and the other is to show love.
Blanche only tested the Heart Reflection ability just now, and did not use the other ability.
Blanche scratched her head: "The use of showing love has prerequisites... and even if it could be used, I can't use you to test it."
"Huh? Why?" Luigi asked, puzzled.
Blanche was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "Because according to the explanation of the Love Woodpecker, the expression of love is a... manipulation skill."
Control techniques?
Under Luigi's surprised gaze, Blanche explained the effect of "showing love".
—When the heart-shaped tuft of hair on the Lovely Woodpecker's head lights up in seven different colors for the same person, you can use "Heart Display" on that person to manipulate them and make them develop a great fondness for you.
Simply put, Blanche needs to use "Love Reflection" on the same person at least seven times.
Moreover, these seven instances of "love reflection" precisely reflect seven different emotions: rage, joy, fear, peace, doubt, melancholy, and awe.
These seven emotions correspond to seven different colors.
When this condition is met, "expression of love" will be activated, allowing it to manipulate the other person's "love".
“So…” Blanche shrugged, “I definitely can’t use this ability on Mr. Luigi.”
After hearing Blanche's account, not only was Luigi surprised, but Angor, who was outside the instance, was also somewhat dazed.
The act of showing affection is less a manipulation technique and more a seductive one. It can instantly make someone feel fond of another person, or even develop feelings of infatuation.
No wonder this woodpecker has the title "Lianlian" (meaning "loving"), it's reflected here.
But then again, this is clearly a succubus's talent, how could it fall into the hands of a woodpecker?
Angel shook his head, simply attributing it to the diversity of pets in Wonderland.
In terms of pure ability, showing compassion is actually quite effective; it allows one to fundamentally "manipulate" another person in the name of "love."
However, the prerequisites for its use are too complicated.
Let alone how to reflect a person's seven emotions, just using "love reflection" seven times in a row is extremely difficult.
After all, the Woodpecker consumes its own energy source every time it releases its power.
Given its current state, it would be quite impressive if it could release its power two or three times in a short period of time.
Releasing emotions seven times, and going through all seven emotions, is very difficult.
However, if you could secretly and repeatedly use "love reflection" on the same person, and then accumulate all seven emotions over time, that would seem to work too.
However, Blanche denied this conjecture, stating that when the Lovebird uses "Love Reflection" on someone, the person can sense it.
In other words, it is impossible to cast spells without knowing or being aware of them.
Then it becomes even more difficult to complete the "show of love".
But as difficult as it may be, once the prerequisites are met, the results are still outstanding.
Blanche shrugged indifferently: "I don't really have any thoughts on the expression of love, but I think the ability to reflect love is pretty good... It can fit a lot of my personas."
"For example, when I am Detective Raevel, I can completely rely on the reflection of love to see the suspect's true emotions. Heh heh, then it will be clear who the real culprit is."
"Most importantly, in the novel, Detective Raefel often has a bird perched on her shoulder, which perfectly fits into my character portrayal!"
In the end, Blanche pushed up her sunglasses, as if she had returned to her character of Levre.
—It's worth mentioning that the sunglasses Blanche was wearing were summoned through "Snowy Owl's Wardrobe." In other words, while testing Lovepey's abilities, she also took the opportunity to demonstrate the effects of the wardrobe.
Luigi recalled, "But I remember you saying before that the bird on Raefel's shoulder wasn't a raven?"
“Just as I can be Raefel, or Vavacili, a woodpecker can also be a raven,” Blanche explained earnestly.
Luigi: "???" So woodpeckers have bird-like characteristics too?
Just as Luigi was shocked by the logic of the "persona and bird design" theory, a soft laugh reached their ears.
Upon hearing the laughter, they almost immediately realized: "Angol?" "Is that Mr. Angell?!"
“It’s me.” Angor’s tone carried a faint smile. “I just arrived outside the instance when I heard your shocking announcement, Blanche. It really is your style.”
"However, you are right. You can be anyone. A woodpecker can also be a crow. No one can define your identity, and naturally, no one can define your bird."
After a pause, Angel added, "If needed, I can generously sponsor a limited-time crow skin for Woodpecker."
"Skin?" Blanche asked, puzzled.
The next second, Blanche felt a familiar breeze brush past her.
The wind lifted the strands of hair that hung by her ears, obscuring the shape of the woodpecker on her shoulder. The moment the hair fell, the woodpecker, whose feathers were originally dark green, appeared with deep black skin.
In the blink of an eye, the woodpecker turned into a crow.
Upon seeing this, Blanche immediately understood that the so-called "skin change" was simply a simulation of a new form using illusion magic.
“The raven skin can last for twenty-four hours. You can interrupt or activate it at any time by touching its forehead. The interruption period does not count as time,” Angel said with a smile. “You can activate its skin whenever you need it.”
A glint of light flashed in Blanche's eyes: "Thank you, Mr. Angel!"
She reached out and quickly interrupted the skin's time limit.
A raven-themed skin is definitely meant to be used in crucial moments. Like, in the final moments when Raphtalia unleashes her full power!
“I can’t accept your skin for nothing. If you ever need my help in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask!” Blanche’s eyes darted around. Rather than getting a free skin, she preferred to continue this relationship so that she could continue to deal with Angel.
With this affection, won't the woodpecker's skin just keep coming back?
If one day in the future she plays the role of a falconer, and the woodpecker is given a falcon skin, I'm so excited just thinking about it!
Angel smiled and was about to say "no need," but then he suddenly remembered something.
"I do have something I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Blanche: "Please speak, sir."
Angel: "When I was choosing my personal reward just now, I received a rather special inscription. I hope you can help me persuade Mr. Camillo to help me study it."
He knew too little about inscriptions. Even though he obtained the Celestial Inscriptions, he couldn't see their effects and significance because he didn't have an identity database. So he thought he might as well find other people who understood inscriptions to study them together.
Anyway, as the person in charge, he can delegate authority to others.
Of all the people Angell knows, only Camillo and Sebastian have a clear understanding of inscriptions.
Angor certainly couldn't ask Sebastian to do the research... He had finally managed to seal Him away using his fantasy alchemy, and it wasn't worth waking Him up for such a trivial matter.
Moreover, if Sebastian were to actually study the Fairy Inscriptions, it would be disastrous if he were to use his position to cause some trouble.
So, after thinking it over, Angell decided to turn his attention to Camiro.
"So, sir's personal reward is an inscription?" Blanche said thoughtfully. "Is it an inscription from the 'Self-Seeking Method'?"
"No, it's a special inscription rewarded from the dungeon." Angor didn't explain the true nature of the Wonderland Inscription, only referring to it as a "special inscription."
“I think I understand.” Blanche nodded. “Don’t worry, leave this to me. With me handling it, the teacher will definitely agree!”
Blanche looked confident.
In fact, she was indeed confident.
Even without her intervention, Angell could simply tell the teacher about the situation, and the teacher would still help.
After all, a seasoned inscription user would certainly be curious about other inscription systems, let alone a special inscription.
For example, when they returned from the dungeon, Camillo, upon learning of the situation inside, immediately offered to help Uriel rescue Rigota, who was trapped inside Priest Seymour. This wasn't just because of Uriel himself, but also because of his curiosity about the "Self-Seeking Method."
Therefore, Camillo would certainly not refuse the opportunity to study a special inscription.
The reason Blanche said, "With me involved, the teacher will definitely agree," was, frankly, to demonstrate her value and get closer to Angel.
Angell: "Then I'll have to trouble you."
“No trouble at all!” Blanche paused, then asked curiously, “By the way, did Mr. Angell go to the Marshland of Words?”
After Blanche returned to the Uriel instance, she vaguely sensed that she could go to the Word Marsh, but every time she tried to enter, the text bar would prompt that she needed to leave the current Wonderland instance first.
Her curiosity had been piqued long ago, and now that Angel had appeared, she couldn't help but inquire about the situation in the Word Swamp Forest.
Not only Blanche, but Luigi also perked up his ears at this moment.
The Word Swamp Forest and the Word Manor belong to the same type of space. Although he has not been to the Word Manor yet, he knows a lot about it through mind sharing.
Therefore, he was also very curious about the condition of the monjima forest.
I wonder what the difference is between this and the Text Manor?
Angel didn't hide anything; after all, once Blanche came out, she would have to go in sooner or later anyway.
As Angell narrated, Blanche grew even more eager to explore the Forest of Words…
……
Meanwhile, in reality, there was the Great Sman Empire.
Camillo and Uriel have arrived in the Misty Forest.
Not only the two of them, but there were three other people present: a couple who looked very loving, and a man who looked middle-aged but whose hair was already gray.
Every time this middle-aged man glanced at Uriel, his eyes were filled with complex thoughts... and he was none other than Rigota's older brother, Guleimo.
As for the seemingly loving couple, they came with Gulemo.
Neither Camillo nor Uriel refused, nor... dared to refuse.
Because the couple, one wore a robe with a sun symbol on it, and the other wore moon earrings.
That's right, it's Mr. Sun and Ms. Moon.
Camillo hadn't expected that these two legendary wizards would come with Gulemo... but thinking about it, it made sense, since the Sun and Moon Wizards had been visiting Gulemo's house recently.
Uriel had already told everyone about his experience in the dungeon.
Gulemo was not interested in those experiences at all; he only cared about two things: the truth about Sean and Rigota's situation.
The Sun and Moon Wizards were initially only interested in the various landscapes and rules within the instance; they were curious about the Wonderland itself. However, when Uriel mentioned the "Self-Seeking Method," they exchanged a glance, a hint of interest flashing in their eyes.
They don't believe in the idea that "it's better to rely on yourself than on others." If you don't have the necessary rank, you can't create inscriptions.
Even at their level, creating inscriptions requires a long period of study.
Therefore, the idea that an ordinary person can use inscriptions simply by asking for them is pure nonsense.
There must be a high-ranking being behind the "Self-Seeking Method," probably the "Shadow of the High Heavens" that Uriel spoke of. I wonder which family this "Shadow of the High Heavens" belongs to? And what is the purpose of this "Self-Seeking Method"?
The Sun and Moon Wizards had only come along for a stroll out of boredom, since everyone present was a "login user," so they treated it as an offline gathering. However, they unexpectedly received some surprising information.
I'll have to take a good look at that stone slab in the tree hole later; maybe it's the layout of one of my peers.
