Chapter 595 444: Divine Artifact Building—Show Hall, Amy's Return
Chun arrived at the Undersea Mansion, showing the Magic Mirror to Aileen: "My dear, this is the latest haul, perfect as a gift for you!"
Aileen exclaimed in surprise: "Remember the last time we had a Magic Mirror? It was a simple version made with talc on Plague Island!"
Chun sweated: "That was the time before last; the last one was a simple version made with Spiritual Magic Gold applied to a mirror in Southern Canyon Village."
Aileen examined the mirror closely: "Very nice! But darling, don't forget the purpose of the Magic Mirror. It's not to be placed next to me for admiring my reflection; it's meant to be placed far away for mutual contact and support. So you'll keep this mirror, and I can support you from here at the front lines. But before that, I need to infuse the mirror with soul!"
After speaking, Aileen placed one hand on the Magic Prism on the dressing table, and the Magic Prism shot a beam of Mirror Light into the Mirror of Imprisonment, showing Aileen's image.
Chun was amazed. So Aileen now had an additional mirror clone, and I would carry her around with me!
Aileen's face suddenly darkened: "Just now, a Mirror Demon retreated from this Magic Mirror! I can feel its lingering aura!"
Holy Shit! Chun was stunned: "So during this battle with Andariel, the opposing Mirror Demon was aware of everything?"
Aileen asked: "Did Andariel have time to pull out the mirror?"
Chun thought for a moment: "Probably not, as she was immediately bound by the Mermaid's Divine Power when she charged."
Aileen said: "Then monitoring the details throughout the battle would be difficult, but they surely know of Andariel's defeat."
Chun's scalp tingled! But this seems to confirm one thing: this Andariel might not be a clone but the original form. If it were a clone, there wouldn't be a need to bring a Magic Mirror for the boss in the rear to monitor, right?
Chun thought of the Dark Soul Witch Barbara; a remnant of her soul parasitizes Aileen's sister Amy, so what impact would Andariel's defeat have on her?
Chun said: "How about you contact Bilenna later and tell Amy about the Dark Soul Witch being killed."
Aileen sighed: "Understood, now that the mirror is infused, just use the mirror during emergencies, dear. Besides the mirror's inherent imprisoning effect, I can also support various illusion techniques, radar, sound wave reflections, and more."
That means I didn't give Aileen a gift after all!
Chun handed over the second Divine Artifact, "Dream Fragrance," to Aileen: "What's this, dear, is for you as a gift!"
Aileen laughed: "I'm the Mirror God! Give it to Mina; she's the current Nightmare powerhouse!"
Ugh... I've already given her two; giving her another might make her want to become the fbl owner on the spot! No, three Divine Artifacts; I must leave one for Aileen to guard the house.
Chun reluctantly took out "White Moonlight," initially intended for Moore: "Then this beautiful dress, dear, is a gift for you!"
Aileen intriguedly took a look: "Even without considering occupational requirements, wearing this as clothing would indeed be dreamlike and beautiful! But when put on, it becomes transparent. Is that alright?"
Ugh... It is indeed very transparent; at least the Dance Dress covers key areas unlike this one...
Chun sweated: "You can wear it just for me!"
Aileen returned the dress to Chun: "I don't need it; it's clearly meant to be used with the Dream Fragrance as a pair. The effect by itself might not be good."
Holy Shit! I can't let Mina swaying perfume in transparent clothing and enticing people!
Chun clenched his teeth; fine, I'll give both to Moore, letting him enjoy it!
Chun reluctantly took out two bottles of alcohol: "Then it's just these two left."
Aileen laughed: "It's great! I can already feel the obsession of the drunkards; collect more when possible. Some might enable bottles to automatically increase alcohol like cake shops collect hunger to produce Dream Flour automatically."
Chun was thrilled: "This works too?"
Aileen chuckled: "I've been studying cake shops all day; the theory is similar. I think it's doable."
Perfect, now there's just one last thing left.
Chun and Aileen arrived at the dance hall, Chun took out Andariel's Crystal Core and asked the sky: "Mina, where to place the Crystal Core in the dance hall?"
Mina's voice came from the sky: "The chandelier placement is best!"
Mei was delighted: "Let me place it, let me place it!"
Mei flew to the chandelier and placed down the Crystal Core. A wave spread throughout the hall, causing the entire dance hall space to ripple and expand!
—System Message: Congratulations! The dance hall has been enhanced with Andariel's Crystal Core, upgraded to the Divine Artifact building "Ballroom"! Substantial support for Dancing Girls, Dancing Maidens, and Singing Maidens.
The dance hall transformed into a ballroom!
Mei froze: "Why do I feel like I've been boosted too?"
Chun was stunned: "Mei is a Singing Maiden?"
Mei scoffed: "What Singing Maiden? I'm a Singing Deity, let me sing one!"
Then Mei flew to the stage center, her voice rising: "Ah~~~~"
The sound was heavenly! The entire hall trembled, making Chun's scalp tingle, soul leap!
Aileen clapped enthusiastically: "Worth of an adult, those notes, no one could match in the mortal realm!"
Mei exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder it's a Divine Artifact, everything feels amplified by several times!"
Chun was shocked, "So much amplification? Then, if we leave our bodies, will we still have the amplification?"
Mei laughed, "I also want to know! If there's no amplification once we leave, it probably doesn't deserve to be called a Divine Artifact building, right? After all, our lighthouse can be seen from any distance. I do have an idea, though. If we aim the speakers from the dance hall towards the direction of the Conch Lighthouse, it might slightly enhance the transmission effects."
Ground relay station, huh? Chun got excited, "Alright, let's do it!"
Aileen suddenly had a realization, "The song and my radar wave mirror reflection are both waves, right? So could this dance hall possibly enhance my radar broadcasts?"
Chun was amazed, "You could try it with Bilenna first!"
So, after adjusting the positions of several speakers in the dance hall, Chun and Aileen returned to the mansion and first tried it with the Magic Prism.
Bilenna indeed got a shock, "Aileen, your voice is much louder!"
Aileen laughed, "How much louder?"
Bilenna responded with annoyance, "Speak a bit quieter!"
Chun was taken aback, these two are clearly the same person and their clone, yet it's like two separate people interacting. So, does the clone have independent consciousness?
Aileen suddenly had another idea, "I'll directly move my Magic Prism dressing table to the dance hall! Let's try the effect again!"
Chun fully supported, "Alright!"
Moving things was certainly Chun's forte, so he moved the Magic Prism to the center of the dance hall.
Aileen whispered, "Bilenna, get ready!"
Bilenna impatiently said, "I didn't hear you, I'm busy here."
Aileen raised her voice, "Ah~~~"
Bilenna sighed, "It's no better than before!"
Chun was dumbfounded, "What's going on?"
Mei figured it out, "Your mirror and your mansion are integrated, the effect isn't as good when separated."
Aileen finally realized, "Oh, right! When the Black Iron Guardian God conducted the desecration ritual before, our space got flooded by Black Water. I also once moved the mirror onto the Pirate Ship, but it never felt right. I later realized this mansion was something I was 'born with death', it seems I can't leave this mansion."
Chun's brow twitched, "What if we upgrade the mansion to a Divine Artifact-level mansion?"
Mei laughed, "If it becomes a Divine Artifact, anything could happen. But I'm curious, this mansion should be equivalent to Aileen's Essence of Dreams, but clearly, Aileen is not the owner of the mansion. Why does she have such a strong obsession?"
Aileen was stunned, "I don't know either! In my life, I was just a dancing girl."
Mei sighed, "I think it's necessary to investigate the real mansion. Without clearing this up, there's no way you can upgrade the mansion to a Divine Artifact building."
Aileen nodded and then instructed the Prism, "Bilenna, tell Amy that the Dark Soul Witch Barbara's Demon superior, Andariel, has been taken out by us..."
Bilenna laughed, "What a remarkable victory. Just in time, Amy is progressing rapidly under Barbara's tutelage. She can actually be promoted to a Dancing Girl, but such a young Dancing Girl doesn't seem suitable. Let's deliberately slow her down with the excuse that she needs life experience; I think it's time to let her go back to the Count's Mansion for investigation."
Aileen was still a bit worried, "She's so young, can she really manage?"
Bilenna laughed, "Don't underestimate her. She actually has a Thief Manual she got from a kind brother before she came to the village. Though Amy doesn't know how to read, Barbara does, and she can guide her. Amy's dancing skills have greatly improved her thieving abilities."
Chun was shocked to hear, where did this kind brother come from? (Note: Chapter 195 'Amy Appears')
It must be a player! When she arrived at the village, it was probably ten days ago. Back then, the only ones who could provide a Thief Manual could be the Baka Thief Corps players. The consortium players are everywhere!
Chun got anxious, "We must warn Amy to be cautious about this 'kind brother', and not to trust blindly!"
Bilenna laughed, "Don't worry, as a Dancing Girl, using men is a basic course."
Uh, saying that in front of me might not be the best?
Aileen cleared her throat, "Dear, let's move the dressing table back."
"Okay!"
Bilenna, in the mirror, teased with a sly tone, "Darling~~~"
Me... alright, Bilenna was indeed what Aileen initially looked like...
Finally, preparations were almost done, it's about time to start the journey. Anyway, judgments were already made, the main body aimed for a laid-back posture to ease the Ten Lords' vigilance.
But passing through the Teleportation Array is still troublesome. Better contact Zhou Qing to deliver the artifact to Moore first.
Chun texted Zhou Qing, "Leader, please help contact Moore. He's still in Bronze City, right? I have two special pieces of equipment for him, ask him to find a suitable and safe place."
Zhou Qing replied, "You truly are Brother Chun! Alright, I'll contact Moore."
Chun responded again, "Also, my Little Demon is setting off for Gem City soon, see if Moore has any suggestions?"
