Chapter 3301: Chapter 3302: Ghost Fortress

Heinado continued, "I suspect he already got the entry ticket..."

Nahuat said indifferently, "So, you investigated his identity and background to deal with him? To seize the entry ticket?"

Heinado was momentarily speechless and then said, "Isn’t that normal... don’t you find the Black Goat Secret Mirror interesting?"

Nahuat was silent for a moment, then conveyed, "As far as I know, the Black Goat has already arrived at this gathering with the Red Mirror Priest of Everstanding King City. It is possible the entry ticket has already entered the merchandise register of Everstanding King City. If you truly want the entry ticket, you could completely trade with Everstanding King City."

Heinado: "In the end, you’re still interested in the Black Goat Secret Mirror."

In Heinado’s view, as long as Nahuat did not express disinterest in the Black Goat Secret Mirror, he was indeed interested.

Heinado: "Since you’re interested, why wait to trade? Besides, the Black Goat Secret Mirror has a limit on the number of people. Even if it did enter the merchandise register, you can’t buy the entry ticket without spending big money, so it’s better to just grab it directly."

What Heinado referred to as "grab" was not an open robbery but rather using the method of disruption to deal with Sipolov, using soft tactics for covert coercion; this way, not only can you obtain the entry ticket but also increase your own cultivation, why not?

Nahuat understood Heinado’s meaning, considering using "disruption" tactics anytime and anywhere, which itself was the instinct of the Changhuo Clan.

If it were at another time, Nahuat wouldn’t have said much. But now, the Changhuo Clan has issued the Barrier-Breaking Method and is in a sensitive transitional period internally and externally, at this time, even Atasin would choose restraint.

Moreover, through Heinado’s words, Nahuat also knew Sipolov’s identity. Behind him stands the highest commander of Ice Country, the Yingji Clan’s combat power ceiling, in the current state of the Changhuo Clan, provoking the other party is absolutely not a good thing.

Nahuat: "If I said I’m not interested in the Black Goat Secret Mirror, it would certainly be false. But I can clearly say, in the short term, I’m indeed not that eager for the Black Goat Secret Mirror."

"Compared to the Black Goat Secret Mirror, I’m currently more concerned about the aftermath the Barrier-Breaking Method will bring."

In the dark Ghostly Shadows world, Heinado sat cross-legged in the pitch-black void, pouting: "That’s you, anyway, I’m very interested in the Black Goat Secret Mirror... it’s said there are marks left by the Evil Desire Demon God, if we could gain the power of these marks, the effect of disruption would definitely be greatly enhanced."

Evil Desire Demon God... Nahuat heard this deity’s name, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Nahuat: "You’d better not think about anything regarding this deity."

Heinado snorted in response, without replying.

Nahuat then said seriously: "The Evil Desire Demon God, also known as Ominous Evil Play. Its ominousness is both self-inflicted and given to all life who hear its gospel. The more you ponder, the closer you get to it, the more unfortunate you become."

Heinado rarely saw his brother showing such a serious expression, he hesitated for a moment but still said, "I understand, I won’t mention its name, but I’m very interested in the Black Goat Secret Mirror, I am after all..."

Before Heinado could finish, Nahuat interrupted him.

"Let’s talk again later, I’ve arrived."

Nahuat looked up and saw a dilapidated castle shrouded in gray mist at the end of the road.

This moss-covered, climbing ivy-ridden, broken-down building is where the Ghost Steward, one of the three major stewards in Everything House, resides.

The Dog Deacon’s territory is called the Dog House; while the Ghost Steward’s castle is known as... Ghost Castle.

From the outside, Ghost Castle is quite silent.

But Nahuat knew well that behind the seemingly lifeless glass, a pair of eyes were hidden. They were definitely staring at him now.

Nahuat patted the black panther standing with bristling fur at his feet, "Don’t worry, it’s just some ghost eyes... let’s go in."

Ghost eyes are also one of the Ghost Steward’s abilities. Similar to the Wizard’s Eye, they can be used for investigation.

However, the ghost eye has a characteristic: it can be concealed.

From the outside, you can’t see anything. But once you get close to the ghost eye, you can feel the strange magnetic field it emits, making you feel like you’re caught in a nightmare.

Nahuat is not visiting Ghost Castle for the first time, he understands this well.

Yet the more he understands, the more he finds the Ghost Steward mysterious, as this one can compare with the Dog Deacon...

Nahuat composed himself, silently stepped into Ghost Castle.

And as he entered, the glass around Ghost Castle suddenly flickered, as if a shimmer swept across.

Five minutes later.

Nahuat emerged from Ghost Castle with a trace of helplessness and frustration in his eyes.

Just as the Dog Deacon predicted, he truly could not submit a second commission to the Ghost Steward. It’s not that the Ghost Steward was unwilling... he didn’t even meet the Ghost Steward, he was persuaded to leave.

And the one who persuaded him was not an investigator from Ghost Castle, but a woman with six pairs of black wings and long hair.

Though Nahuat didn’t know her name, those six pairs of crow-like black wings revealed her identity... Dragon Crow.

From the Dragon Crow Clan of a Hundred-Dragon Divine Kingdom.

Although the frontal combat power of the Dragon Crow Clan is considered weak among Mirror Dragons, their assassination, control, and curse abilities are feared by all clans.

Furthermore, Nahuat knew that the leader stationed this time by the Hundred-Dragon Divine Kingdom is a Dragon Crow.

Her name, Jasmine.

The Dragon Crow in Ghost Castle was not Jasmine herself. But her appearance was surely authorized by Jasmine.

She obviously guessed Nahuat’s intentions, and without even asking his purpose, she directly "invited" him out of Ghost Castle.

Moreover, she remained atop the tower of Ghost Castle.

Nahuat looked back and saw the three-meter-tall curly-haired woman, fluttering with her huge six pairs of black wings, looking down like a dark goddess over Nahuat.

In those cold eyes, there was a clear sense of expulsion.

The inherent dragon might of the Mirror Dragon Clan shakes all life on the earth. Even the black panther following Nahuat could not help but tremble, its tail lowering in submission.

Nahuat’s eyes flashed with fear, he deeply sighed, offering a respectful bow to the Dragon Crow woman, and turned to leave.

Until Nahuat disappeared at the end of the corridor, the Dragon Crow retracted her extended six pairs of wings slowly descending, muttering a low "troublesome," then completely vanished into the darkness...

...

Inside Dog House.

Luigi, while marveling at how it was indeed the Changhuo Clan that even setups between teachers and students, raised his head, looking at the Dog Deacon with a gossiping eye.

Being watched by Luigi’s passionate gaze, the Dog Deacon inexplicably felt a chill down its spine.

It hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Why, why are you looking at me like that?"

Luigi blinked his eyes and leaned closer to the Dog Deacon: "I just wanted to ask, since you’ve already read Nahuat’s heart imprint, then... you should already know the barrier-breaking method, right?"

Nahuat, as the signatory of the contract and sent by Narudo, must be familiar with the barrier-breaking method. Otherwise, the contract couldn’t have been signed at all.

Since Nahuat is familiar with the barrier-breaking method, wouldn’t the Dog Deacon also know the content of the barrier-breaking method if it has read Nahuat’s heart?

This is what Luigi was curious about.

Although he currently has no need for a barrier-breaking method, it doesn’t mean he’ll never need it. If he ever gets stuck in front of a barrier, maybe he could refer to the barrier-breaking method?

The Dog Deacon initially thought Luigi was going to ask about some secret, but it turned out he was just curious about the barrier-breaking method.

It lay speechlessly on the cushion, ears drooping: "I don’t read everything, and his heart imprint is just short-term emotions, it’s impossible to retain long-term memories."

It’s like the wine droplets on the table, the imprint they leave only exists for a while; once time’s up, they’ll be dried up and wiped away by the wind.

The Dog Deacon can see current thoughts and also the emotions within short-term imprints, but those longer, already disappeared heart imprints, it cannot see.

"If I could really see everything, wouldn’t your cultivation methods be transparent in my eyes? Think about it, is that possible?" the Dog Deacon said with some helplessness.

"Besides, if you’re really curious about the barrier-breaking method, exchange it yourself. The Changhuo Clan is willing to diffuse the barrier-breaking method; it’s definitely not hard for you to get it."

Luigi replied without blinking: "I don’t have Crystalline."

The Dog Deacon tilted its head: "I don’t believe you."

Luigi continued: "I need my Crystalline to buy a music score, that’s very important to me, I can’t randomly use it. Besides..."

Pausing, Luigi leaned his head toward the Dog Deacon’s ear, lowered his voice, and whispered: "Laplace must be curious about the barrier-breaking method too."

Luigi knew very well that just mentioning Laplace would make the Dog Deacon soften its tone.

Sure enough, the Dog Deacon hesitated for a moment, then said: "In Nahuat’s emotions, there was indeed a remaining general content of the barrier-breaking method, but it’s not complete..."

If when Nahuat was still here, the Dog Deacon had focused entirely on the "barrier-breaking method", Nahuat’s emotions would surely be filled with the barrier-breaking method, allowing it to easily glimpse the content of the barrier-breaking method.

But it hadn’t put the focus on the barrier-breaking method before, nor had it given Nahuat time to contemplate it. Even if it had peeked at some parts of the barrier-breaking method, it was incomplete.

Luigi nonchalantly said: "It’s fine, even if it’s incomplete, it can be used as a reference."

After all, he doesn’t need it right away; for now, having a free bit to see what it contains is good enough.

The Dog Deacon hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded.

Luigi’s operation here left Sipolov dumbfounded, he didn’t expect to extract a barrier-breaking method this way? But then again, now that the Deacon had given Luigi the barrier-breaking method, could he also cash in on it?

As Sipolov was happily thinking about this, he saw the Dog Deacon raise a paw, condensing a beam of mirror light full of information, gently pressing it onto Luigi’s forehead.

Luigi didn’t resist, accepting the information in the mirror light while muttering: "So that’s how it is, but what should I do here? Oh oh, it’s solved like this?"

Obviously, Luigi had already received the barrier-breaking method.

Sipolov’s intention to get the barrier-breaking method from the Dog Deacon had already fallen through; from Luigi’s mutterings, he couldn’t make sense of anything.

Sipolov sighed, no longer bothering with the matter, and turned his attention to the main exhibition stage.

Now, the main exhibition stage was nearing its end.

Currently on stage were powerful groups.

According to the current order of appearance, it wouldn’t be long before Senior General Oleg would also represent the Yingji Clan on stage.

As Sipolov thought this, the current spokesperson on the main stage had already left, and the new entrants were a neat line-up, all tall and slender, wearing military uniforms, exuding a powerful aura.

At the forefront stood a burly man in uniform, whose pure black cloak made him appear extremely mighty.

And this person was Oleg, whom Sipolov was loyal to.

Yes, the ones now taking the stage were also Sipolov’s ancestral clan, the Yingji Clan.

On the other side, Angel also noticed the group on stage, the Yingji people who were imposing even with their eyepatches; he was pretty curious about what the Yingji Clan would share, but compared to their display, his attention was currently more focused on the Mind Ribbon.

Luigi had already shared the fragment of "The Broken Mirror and Barrier Break" in the Mind Ribbon.

Not only Angel and Laplace could see it, but Glaipnir, who was mentally synchronized with Laplace, could also view it clearly.

Angel, as a "scholar", curiously began reading the research.

However, he got through only thirty percent before he couldn’t continue.

There were too many terms in there he had never encountered, like aggregate state separation, life-death mirror combination, energy condensing cluster... these were obviously specialized terms.

Luigi had thoughtfully translated these terms into the Universal Language, but just translating the terms was of no use, he still couldn’t understand their meaning.

To understand these terms, one must first have a basic knowledge of Aggregate Energy. After all, Aggregate Energy is the fundamental energy logic for constructing the Mirror Domain, which is a system completely unrelated to Magic Power.

The saying goes, "Each trade is like a mountain," but now this isn’t just a mountain, it’s like an entire world apart, not something that mountains and seas can describe, it’s practically like being separated by the coastlines of time.

At the very least, for Angel to gain a deep understanding of Aggregate Energy and comprehend this "The Broken Mirror and Barrier Break" within a few days is unlikely.

Angel wisely gave up on reading further.

Luigi also stopped, but unlike Angel, he wasn’t giving up; he was more curious about something else than the fragmented "The Broken Mirror and Barrier Break."

Luigi returned to Angel’s side, raised his eyebrows at him, signaling "continue."

Angel understood, Luigi was planning to continue the description of the Goose Deacon’s appearance, to see if this "intelligence system" on his side was truly powerful.

Angel didn’t refuse, since he couldn’t understand the barrier-breaking method anyway, he decided to continue chatting with Wang Wang about information from the void.

Angel snapped his fingers lightly, and a mist formed out of thin air, enveloping him and Luigi in layers.
