Chapter 2943 - 2944: Igodogo

Chapter 2943: Chapter 2944: Igodogo

"Who is he?" Angel was momentarily stunned, not understanding the meaning of the pink sphere. After a long pause, he hesitantly said, "Are you saying your partner concealed his identity from you?"

Before the pink sphere could speak, Laplace suddenly spoke up, "No, it should mean that its partner has lost memories of the past."

The pink sphere was about to explain but quickly nodded upon hearing Laplace’s words, "Yes, yes, that’s what it means."

Seeing Angel’s puzzled look, Laplace spoke calmly, "I mentioned to you before, the scholars at the Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy have long been researching near the Sea of Void Mirror. Over the years, they have also mastered a special ability."

Angel softly said, "The Method of Object Searching?"

Laplace nodded, "Exactly, the Method of Object Searching."

By using this method, not only can the probability of retrieving memory fragments from the Sea of Void Mirror be significantly increased, but also, through these retrieved fragments, tangible objects drifting into the sea alongside them can be related and located. This is why the Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy hold many transcendent artifacts.

Speaking of the Method of Object Searching, Angel finally understood Laplace’s implication.

The pink sphere purchased the ores from the Ancient Tooth Fairy, whose "source of goods" is mostly within the Sea of Void Mirror.

And the most daunting effect of the Sea of Void Mirror, also its most basic one, is to wash away memories.

Previously, Adanis threw several seekers of the Noah Clan into the Sea of Void Mirror, and within moments, they turned into empty-hearted people with no memories, demonstrating the terrifying effect of the sea’s memory erosion. Even beings from the mirrors, once entering the Sea of Void Mirror, will lose all memories in no time.

Thus, Laplace meant that the humans inside the ores retrieved from the Sea of Void Mirror by the Ancient Tooth Fairy had their memories erased by the sea due to drifting alongside the ores.

The pink sphere’s partner is human, but due to the loss of memory, he doesn’t know who he is.

And the pink sphere is seeking them out to see if they recognize its partner.

Angel had basically unraveled the entire thread.

The pink sphere’s request seemed somewhat absurd; the number of humans is in the billions, searching for any kindred spirit to recognize your partner seems highly improbable, akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.

However, that’s not the case. Indeed, there are many humans, but the number of transcendents among them isn’t high, and those with exceptional skills are even fewer.

Previously, the pink sphere clearly mentioned that the mirror with the magic pattern sold by the Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy was crafted by its partner.

Angel has seen the magic pattern, which was quite skilled and of high standard. The ability to craft such a complete pattern at least elevates one to a Magic Rune Mage.

This implies the person is an Official Wizard.

With the status of an Official Wizard proficient in magic patterns, these two criteria alone filter out 99.9% of humans.

Additionally, the method used is from the Academy Faction, and judging by the pattern’s style, it’s likely from the Southern Domain’s Academy Faction, predominantly from Ashiliya Academy’s Magic Rune Mage.

Such filtering reduces the number even further.

Even if the person didn’t graduate from Ashiliya Academy, knowing he’s a Magic Rune Mage from the Southern Domain still makes finding their identity manageable.

Hence, the pink sphere’s request is not groundless. Even if it encountered someone other than Angel, other Human Wizards, the results would likely be similar.

Angel was actually quite curious about the unique aesthetic of the pink sphere’s partner, but he didn’t provide a prompt response and instead asked:

"Shouldn’t it be easy to find someone in the Wizards’ Realm with the combined identities of Human Wizard and Magic Rune Mage?"

The pink sphere scratched its head with its somewhat short and chubby paw, "I don’t know if it’s easy or not... but my partner didn’t lose all his memories. Initially, he planned to drive consciousness from the depths of the soul using limited memories to seek self-identification, but ultimately it had little effect."

Laplace calmly said, "Memories washed by the Sea of Void Mirror will be completely extinguished in the depths of the sea. This is the rule of the Mirror Domain, adhered to by any creature entering the Sea of Void Mirror. Retrieving memories is virtually impossible."

After a brief pause, Laplace continued, "However, entering the Sea of Void Mirror without losing all memories is quite rare. Generally, there are two possibilities: one, the time spent within the sea was very short; two, a certain might warded him."

The pink sphere didn’t know who Laplace was, but judging from its words, it was clear that the other party had a deep understanding of the Sea of Void Mirror. In the Daylight Mirror Domain, aside from the Mirror Sea Scholars in the Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy, only a few mighty figures possess such insights.

Is Laplace one of them?

No matter who Laplace is, the pink sphere had already elevated their status.

The pink sphere: "The lady here is correct. Later, I used some Crystalline to inquire with the Mirror Sea Scholar, and the answer received matched the lady’s statement. I requested further inspection from the Mirror Sea Scholar and ultimately confirmed the reason for my partner not losing all memories lies with that ore."

"According to the Mirror Sea Scholar, there is a mighty power on the ore that wards off the erosion of the Sea of Void Mirror. However, by the time it was retrieved, it had mostly depleted."

The pink sphere sighed and continued, "Forget it, that’s beside the point; let’s return to the main topic..."

"Initially, my partner was still optimistic about retrieving his memory, so we didn’t take any alternative actions. Moreover, our relationship had just been established for a short time, and I personally didn’t want him overly focused on his past. Therefore, the matter of retrieval was set aside."

"Later, I met an old benefactor, the City Lord of the City of Hot Gold. At that time, the City of Hot Gold needed a large number of personnel to maintain the dome. I accepted the City Lord’s invitation and came here, promising to help guard for a hundred years."

"During this period, neither my partner nor I left the City of Hot Gold, and even if we wished to retrieve memories, there was no one to find."

Angel neither knew whether the pink sphere was telling the truth, but judging by the emotional fluctuations, it didn’t seem to be lying.

Angel remained silent for a moment and asked, "Is there no other human in the City of Hot Gold?"

The pink sphere: "There are, but they are mostly owned by others. I approached them, but they didn’t know my partner. So now I can only start with outsider humans... unfortunately, over the past decades, there have basically been no outsider humans in the City of Hot Gold."

At this point, the pink sphere cast a fervent gaze towards Angel.

Although Angel’s aura didn’t scream human, the pink sphere had spent considerable time with its partner, relying not only on aura for human perception. It observed detailed aspects like gestures, and Angel’s incompatibility with the mirror creatures here felt more human-like.

However, the pink sphere was not entirely certain. Because Angel’s companions, Laplace and the Rabbit Girl, were definitively mirror creatures—and remarkably powerful.

Oddly, if Angel is human, and the others are mirror creatures, why does he appear to lead the group?

It’s not that humans can’t lead mirror creatures, but within the Mirror Domain, humans as outsiders naturally appear weaker.

Angel’s commanding demeanor was the main reason why the pink sphere hesitated to verify Angel’s identity completely.

Angel was aware the pink sphere was speculating about his identity, but he was unconcerned.

"I have some understanding of notable Southern Domain Wizards. If your partner is from the Southern Domain, perhaps I can help identify them."

Although Angel still hasn’t directly acknowledged being human, this statement to the pink sphere seems a tacit confirmation.

The pink sphere suppressed its inner joy, nodding vigorously.

"Shall I call my partner down now?" At this point, the pink sphere couldn’t care if its beloved was meditating; it feared if they were late, Angel and company might leave.

Angel wasn’t in as much of a hurry as the pink sphere imagined. The meditation speed for an Official Wizard is quite swift, a cycle completes in about an hour or two based on varying Guiding Methods. After each cycle, it’s customary to adjust the body and mind rather than rush into another cycle. At such times, if the wizard notices unfamiliar auras in their vicinity, they definitely show concern.

They had been there for a while already; likely the pink sphere’s partner would soon sense their presence voluntarily, unnecessary to rush.

Besides, Angel actually had some questions for the pink sphere.

"Earlier you mentioned discovering your partner inside an ore. Could I have a look at the ore?"

Angel wasn’t trying to deduce anything from the mineral; he was purely curious. Why would anyone end up inside a mineral, and what kind of mineral could ward off the intrusion of the Sea of Void Mirror?

The pink sphere thought for a moment and said: "I’ve already used the mineral to create the foundation of this mirror space, but there’s still some scraps left."

Angel: "Scraps will do."

The pink sphere nodded: "Alright, please wait a moment."

The pink sphere drifted over to the next room, and after a while, it floated back, this time holding a stone mirror in its hand.

"This is it. I crafted it into a mirror from scraps, originally intended to gift Görs, but Görs already has a better mirror, so I’ve just set this aside."

The pink sphere handed the stone mirror to Angel as it spoke.

Angel took the stone mirror, with a slight raise of his eyebrows.

This texture feels quite familiar.

Angel could even discern the material of the stone mirror without using the Alchemy Eye. However, knowing the material wasn’t very useful, as there was something slightly special about this stone mirror...

As Angel observed the stone mirror, the pink sphere perhaps didn’t want the atmosphere to become silent, so it actively sought out a topic to discuss.

"By the way, I’ve never formally introduced myself." The pink sphere’s wings fluttered as it returned to its exclusive cushion: "My name is Duduli, and my partner’s temporary name is Dudubi."

Angel paused for a moment: "...Good names."

The eyes of Duduli, the pink sphere, brightened: "Really? My partner always thought I chose names poorly and wanted to change them..."

Angel looked at Duduli’s earnest face, wanting to say he was just being courteous, but ultimately didn’t say it, instead murmuring: "...Double names are always good names."

Duduli appeared even happier, excitedly recounting the experience of naming and also inquired about Angel and the others’ names.

Angel didn’t hide anything, responded casually, and then continued observing the stone mirror. When he was done, he handed the stone mirror to Laplace.

"Huh?" Laplace took the stone mirror, expressing a somewhat peculiar look.

Laplace’s voice interrupted Duduli’s self-talk, drawing its curiosity: "Is there something wrong with it?"

Laplace: "The stone’s material is average, but you can faintly sense a very strong aura on it... However, now that aura is very residual, and I can’t discern its origin."

Turning to Angel, Laplace asked: "Do you have any thoughts?"

Angel didn’t reply immediately but was deep in thought.

After a moment, Angel slowly spoke: "This mineral is a piece of Magic Blood Ore. The ore itself is nothing special, but its magic blood is quite rare."

"This is a Magic Blood Ore stained with the blood of Igodogo."

"Igodogo?" Everyone present showed a confused expression.

"Igodogo ’Multi-headed’, is an intelligent magical creature living in the void, one of the few magical creatures willing to spread its true name. From its birth, Igodogo can rival an Official Wizard, and when it matures, it reaches at least the level of a Second Level True Knowledge Wizard."

At the same level, magical creatures rely on their strong physical attributes, overwhelming wizards. Void magical creatures can even cross ranks in dominance.

Meaning even if mature Igodogo is only a Second Level True Knowledge Wizard, facing a Third Level True Knowledge Wizard, it wouldn’t necessarily lose.

Duduli: "So it’s a void creature..."

Duduli echoed Angel’s words, inwardly reevaluating Angel’s identity.

Angel mentioned Igodogo using wizard metrics; does this imply he’s a wizard?

Duduli thought, but didn’t say it aloud, feeling increasingly elated.

If he’s indeed a wizard, perhaps this time her partner could rediscover their identity!

Angel didn’t care what Duduli thought, continuing: "Igodogo Magic Blood Ore is rare in the Southern Domain. Only wizards often traveling the void have slight chances of obtaining it."

At this point, Angel paused momentarily: "In fact, when I confirmed this was Igodogo Magic Blood Ore, a small speculation arose in my mind."

Duduli: "What speculation?"

Angel didn’t hold back and directly stated: "Igodogo Magic Blood Ore has many uses, but using it for alchemy is truly extravagant; its real value lies in Igodogo’s magic blood aura. As far as I know, Magic Blood Ore induced by void creature blood can be used to avert disasters... specifically void disasters."

This includes encountering magical creature attacks in the void. If you have high-quality Magic Blood Ore, activating its aura can make these creatures fear and dare not approach.

More importantly, there are many natural disasters in the void, like void erosion, space collapse, elusive high-energy rays, spatial tempests, etc.... Blood-induced Magic Blood Ore has certain resistance, even foresight against such disasters. It can let one evade disasters in advance or increase escape chances when disaster strikes.

Of course, this resistance is mostly useful at the outer fringes of such disasters. If truly caught in such a disaster, survival is near impossible.

"And Igodogo, as a strong void being, its blood aura has stronger disaster avoidance effects."

"Hence, many wizards traveling the void would regard Igodogo Magic Blood Ore as a disaster ward."

"In Fiewenda Wizard’s ’Reverse Journey Through Space’, there are similar examples where a wizard faces void eerie erosion. To avoid erosion, they transformed into mosquitoes and flies, hiding inside Igodogo Magic Blood Ore, ultimately avoiding the first wave of erosion and escaping the eerie erosion range before the second wave hit."

Upon hearing this, even though Angel hadn’t stated his speculation outright, everyone had already gained enlightenment.

Duduli: "You mean my partner encountered a disaster while traveling the void, hence hid inside Igodogo Magic Blood Ore?"

Angel nodded: "It’s a possibility, but how it ended up in the Sea of Void Mirror, I don’t know."

When Angel concluded, he glanced at Laplace. Laplace was very knowledgeable about the Sea of Void Mirror and might give an answer.

Laplace: "Physical objects entering the Sea of Void Mirror generally occur by coincidence. However, even coincidences have traces, as long as a transcendent mirror reflects each other and has excessive energy as an ’initiation source’, there’s a chance to vanish into the Sea of Void Mirror."

Laplace: "Your speculation actually fits some conditions. For instance, if Magic Blood Ore experiences incision, it forms a smooth mirror surface, and in the void, many things can form mirrors; mutual reflection is possible."

"Void disasters mostly release excessive energy, which has a certain probability of directly opening a path to the Sea of Void Mirror."

After hearing Laplace and Angel’s words, Duduli pondered: "That reminds me, when I bought this mineral, I indeed saw many smooth sections. It aligns with Lady Laplace’s first condition."

Therefore, overall, Angel’s speculation isn’t baseless; it has certain validity.

Whether this speculation is true remains unknown for now.

But armed with this conjecture, Duduli can seek out an astrologer like Glaipnir to prove its accuracy through out-of-discussion methods.

Thus, Duduli’s gaze towards Angel was tinged with gratitude.

Angel and the others had just arrived but already made significant discoveries. When they meet her partner, might there be even greater findings?

As Duduli brimmed with anticipation, footsteps suddenly echoed in the stairwell.
