Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 3333: Chapter 3334: Little Red’s First Experience

Angel was somewhat interested in the story of the Spirit Intelligence Heart Fire, but after listening for a while, he found it not as captivating as he had imagined.

Though the story included self-doubt, long endurance, rebellion against rules, and new sorrow after escaping Heartfire Hall... it sounded exciting, but it was actually just mundane.

After all, most of the plot was psychological drama, and the Dog Deacon, as an intelligence trafficker, provided information filtered through many hands, which might not be reliable.

Moreover, Spirit Intelligence Heart Fire spent most of its time in Heartfire Hall, lacking exciting episodes to talk about.

The only thing that piqued Angel’s interest was the abilities of this Spirit Intelligence Heart Fire.

According to records from an unknown Legendary Life, the Spirit Intelligence Heart Fire he acquired could create a shadow space of perpetual darkness. This shadow space resembled a layer between the plane and the three-dimensional, almost impossible to detect once inside.

This strong concealment is one of the reasons why this heart fire, which developed Spirit Intelligence, remained undiscovered in Heartfire Hall for a long time.

Besides, the shadow space seems capable of storing pure energy; any energy that doesn’t merge with shadow and darkness can be preserved here for long periods, to be released for use when needed.

In Angel’s view, the abilities of the Spirit Intelligence Heart Fire are extremely useful.

Though at first glance, it doesn’t appear aggressive, mainly auxiliary abilities, seemingly not very strong. But on deeper reflection, do Legendary Beings lack offensive means? For Transcendents, offensive means are necessary, and auxiliary means even more so, becoming increasingly important in the later stages.

Angel was initially interested in Heartfire, not for its offensive means, but for its auxiliary abilities illuminated by Heart Eye. He attempted to use this ”Heart Eye” for finer operations in Alchemy.

Therefore, in Angel’s view, the offensive means of Heartfire are not important; the magical auxiliary means are crucial.

”But speaking of which, the abilities of this shadow space are somewhat like Earl Mi’s abilities,” Angel mused as he stroked his chin: ”Earl Mi’s shadow can also be used as a temporary warehouse and conceal people... So, does his shadow count as a shadow space?”

Angel shook his head and didn’t ponder further. He would research Earl Mi’s shadow when he had time.

...

As time passed, the Spirit Intelligence Heart Fire story narrated by the Dog Deacon began to turn into a ”scripted drama,” completely rearranged according to Luigi’s ideas.

Increase dramatic tension, reduce irrelevant psychological activities, create group conflicts...

Luigi was delighted because these could directly be used in epic creation. But for listeners, these contents held little value, being sixty percent fictional, thirty percent exaggerated, and only ten percent true.

Angel shook his head and didn’t continue listening to the fabricated story by the Dog Deacon, instead proceeding with explaining the precautions in Crystal Origin of Dreams to Little Red.

Yes, Little Red was preparing to log in to Crystal Origin of Dreams.

Although Angel had confirmed Little Red would be placed in Rabbit Town, with help from the Indigenous People there, Little Red should be fine; but to avoid unexpected situations like Baba Ragon’s, he earnestly did the final briefings for Little Red.

If Little Red entered Crystal Origin of Dreams and accidentally triggered conditions for initiating a hidden ”Immortal Realm,” causing her to be forced into an instance, what should she do, how should she converse with the Gifted People... Angel explained all of this in detail.

After all, Little Red was different from Baba Ragon.

Although Baba Ragon had a miniature physique, his mind was that of a true adult, equipped to handle situations at Mist Isle Dragon Tomb.

But Little Red, both in body and mind, was a child. If she accidentally entered an Immortal Realm, she might not have Baba Ragon’s capacity to manage it.

Angel instructed carefully for five minutes, ensuring Little Red remembered all safety protocols before signaling her readiness to enter Crystal Origin of Dreams.

Little Red also knew that she would need to maintain the same posture for the next few hours, so she specifically found a comfortable spot—the ball pool.

Little Red donned the fox ring pillow around her neck while her body slowly sank into the ball pool.

With the cool touch of the balls, Little Red activated the log-in device.

The white misty Dream Tentacle guided Little Red’s consciousness into an unknown dimension, where a long Dream Bridge appeared before her.

Although it was Little Red’s first encounter with Dream Bridge, Angel had introduced it to her before, so she didn’t feel surprised, instead briskly walking onto the Dream Bridge as instructed by Angel.

Overlooking the void deep below the bridge, Little Red took three strides for two and arrived at the door at the end of the bridge.

Though she hadn’t yet entered Crystal Origin of Dreams, through the glowing door, Little Red saw the azure sky behind and floating white clouds...

With a deep breath, Little Red charged forward into the door with an unwavering resolve.

In an instant, a feeling of weightlessness enveloped Little Red.

Soon after, Little Red felt her consciousness beginning to descend, the sky above moving further away until she completely fell onto the ground... no, until she fell underground, did she finally feel grounded.

She slowly lifted her head to look around.

Nearby stood towering Rabbit Mansions, while afar lay unknown deep subterranean tunnels... Everything around felt so real, even the faint fragrance in the air seemed incredibly true...

Wait, fragrance? Little Red suddenly halted in thought—why was there fragrance in the air?

Turning her head, she found a Rabbit Girl wearing a rabbit hat had somehow appeared behind her.

The fragrance emanated from her.

Little Red was about to speak but didn’t expect the Rabbit Girl to be the first to speak. Her voice was somewhat soft, even imbued with evident shyness, yet the words were fully expressed...

”Welcome to Rabbit Town.”

...

Unquestionably, the one welcoming Little Red was the Rabbit Girl, Little Laplace.

Angel had consulted with Laplace to specially arrange Little Red’s reception... Little Red was really young, and they worried she might encounter something she couldn’t handle.

Furthermore, Angel hoped that through this opportunity, the Rabbit Girl and Little Red could cultivate a good relationship.

Being ”peers,” they presumably have plenty of common topics, and relationship building shouldn’t be too challenging, right?

He was even counting on Little Red to help sniff out the scent of Star Servant.

Speaking of ”scent,” Angel once more directed his attention to Crystal Origin of Dreams, curious if Little Red’s uniqueness remained after entering it.

Both Little Red and the Dog Deacon’s abilities are considered ”gifts” from Mirror Domain Will. If Little Red’s abilities are functional in Crystal Origin of Dreams, the Dog Deacon’s should also be feasible.

With curiosity, Angel observed closely.

Having discussed Little Red’s abilities with the Rabbit Girl previously, there was no need for Angel to remind. The Rabbit Girl, after exchanging pleasantries with Little Red, naturally turned the topic to the ”new body” in Crystal Origin of Dreams.

The topic of ”new body” extended to the various indicators and abilities of the new body, and finally, through guiding the topic, the discussion turned to whether there were any unusual indicators in Little Red’s current body.

Faced with the Rabbit Girl’s inquiry, Little Red did not conceal anything. —— Because she already knew from Little Red’s self-narration about her relationship with the Harp Brother. Since both are Temporal Bodies, and the Harp Brother has a deep connection with the Deacon, it was no harm to tell her.

Moreover, Little Red herself was also very curious about the ”strangeness” she possessed.

Yes, it was precisely ”strange.”

Little Red had just entered the Crystal Origin of Dreams not long ago when she discovered something seemed off about herself.

She vaguely felt there was a voice calling out to her.

Yet this voice existed not in the external world but in her mind... Even stranger was, she knew the voice was in her mind, yet she could clearly discern the distance.

It meant she knew where the voice was coming from, and she could locate its coordinates within the Crystal Origin of Dreams through the magnitude and direction of the voice.

It was clearly a heartbeat sound, but it could be located, which was incredibly strange.

Little Red disclosed her situation.

The Rabbit Girl immediately sensed something was wrong upon hearing it... a voice calling out to Little Red? If following this rhythm, wouldn’t it indicate the birth of yet another instance?

Linking it to the previously sudden appearance of the Mist Isle Dragon Tomb instance, the Rabbit Girl instinctively wanted to go offline and synchronize her mind with Laplace.

She must inform Angel about the ”new dungeon” situation.

But before the Rabbit Girl could take any action, she felt a gentle breeze encircling her, accompanied by Angel’s voice hidden in the wind.

Angel controlled the ”Celestial Alternation” authority and conversed with the Rabbit Girl.

The content of the conversation was nothing special; mainly it was to reassure the Rabbit Girl and inform her that he was monitoring everything.

Upon hearing Angel’s voice, the Rabbit Girl also heaved a sigh of relief. She no longer attempted to go offline but, with a solemn expression, inquired of Little Red: ”Are you sure you heard a voice calling you?”

Despite her young age, Little Red was not foolish. She also noticed the Rabbit Girl’s abnormal expression and, linking it to Angel’s prior explanation before she went online, she thought of a possibility.

”I heard it, and now that voice is right by my ear... Have I triggered the conditions for the birth of an Immortal Realm?” Little Red asked in a daze.

”The exact situation is not clear yet. I need to know more information to make a judgment.” The Rabbit Girl paused and continued to ask: ”Was the voice calling you male or female, and what was the quality of the voice?”

According to the Rabbit Girl’s thinking, if Little Red indeed satisfied the birth conditions of a ”New Fairyland,” then the NPCs within this ”Immortal Realm” are likely to be special NPCs like Shi Zhong, Maggie, and Mushroom Concubine.

And these special NPCs are mostly Laplace’s abandoned Temporal Bodies. The Rabbit Girl was quite familiar with these abandoned Temporal Bodies, so she inquired about the voice information Little Red heard, intending to use the ”vocal quality” to determine which special NPC it was.

Not only the Rabbit Girl thought so, but Angel, who was continuously observing the progress here, also judged in the same way.

However, Little Red’s answer was unexpected for them.

”The voice speaking in my mind kind of resembles... my own voice,” Little Red hesitated for a moment and then added, ”I’m sure it’s my voice.”

”Your voice?” The Rabbit Girl furrowed her brows. This answer was somewhat surprising, but not unacceptable.

Because among those abandoned Temporal Bodies of Laplace, many indeed could mimic speech.

For instance, the ”Mushroom Concubine” in the ”World Grinding Day” instance, her body is mostly composed of mycelium, which can morph and imitate various human forms, and even mimic different sound frequencies through the vibration of filaments.

Simulating Little Red’s own voice is also possible.

Therefore, the Rabbit Girl instantly began to consider the abandonment Temporal Bodies that could mimic voices.

But, as there are quite a few voice mimickers, determining who specifically would require more information.

Thinking of this, the Rabbit Girl continued to ask Little Red: ”Since the voice is calling you, can you understand what it’s saying?”

Little Red nodded: ”It’s asking me to find it, saying... it’s my puzzle piece.”

”Puzzle piece?” The Rabbit Girl was momentarily stunned.

Asking Little Red to find her was quite normal, for if not for finding her, why call?

However, mentioning a ”puzzle piece” and calling herself Little Red’s puzzle piece was peculiar. In the Rabbit Girl’s memory, among Laplace’s abandoned Temporal Bodies, there weren’t any that likened themselves to puzzle pieces.

There were indeed some abandoned Temporal Bodies who liked playing with puzzles... but the abandoned Temporal Body had a broad range of interests, and puzzles didn’t even make it to the top ten.

Moreover, this abandoned Temporal Body had never simulating other people’s voices.

For a moment, the Rabbit Girl felt the clues had abruptly vanished.

Now she not only couldn’t confirm who the abandoned Temporal Body calling Little Red was, but she didn’t even know how to continue questioning Little Red.

Because Little Red had already disclosed all her information, now asking anything else seemed worthless.

While the Rabbit Girl was contemplating, Angel’s voice again reached her ears through the wind.

After pondering Angel’s words, the Rabbit Girl said to Little Red: ”Can you determine the approximate coordinate by the volume of that voice?”

Little Red nodded.

The Rabbit Girl: ”Can you now confirm the approximate location of that voice?”

Little Red thought for a moment, then turned her gaze toward the depths of this Earth Cavern, pointing to the distant darkness: ”Inside here.”

The Rabbit Girl followed Little Red’s direction and looked over, her expression subtly surprised. She had recently been clearing out remnants of the Eliminators, and had also visited the farthest end of this cavern.

Although this cavern appears deep, in reality... it’s manageable.

It’s just somewhat dark inside, but the depth doesn’t exceed five hundred meters. Moreover, there are no branches inside, and no other forks.

It means if the one calling Little Red really was a special NPC, the location of this appearance would be at the depths of this cavern?

Little Red doesn’t reject the ”New Fairyland,” after all, the more Fairylands there are, the more complete the energy system of the Crystal Origin of Dreams becomes.

Yet, all the Fairylands seem to cluster around Rabbit Town lately.

Here, the majority are Indigenous People with only one life remaining. Encountering a dangerous Fairyland would not be favorable to them...
