Chapter 3905 Dark Corner Guide
"Congratulations on receiving the Ether Society badge."
"Congratulations on obtaining the Ether Converter (One-time)"
"Congratulations on obtaining the Dark Corner Guide."
As Angel clicked to receive the reward for the side quest, a series of information appeared in the text column.
The reward also includes the Dark Corner Guide that Angor longed for.
What surprised Angel was the other two rewards.
Originally, Anger thought that the rewards for this side quest would be the same old ones, either fragment rewards or rumor rewards. But this time, all the old rewards were gone, and new rewards appeared instead.
"Ether series rewards? Is this because we are about to enter the dark corner, so they give us some forward-looking benefits?" Angel muttered to himself, then he stretched out his hand and clicked on the reward details page to check it out.
「Wonderland Props: Ether Society Badge」
"It comes from the city of Modern. The Ether Academy is a legendary academy for the people of the Dark Corner. Almost no one has ever seen it, but everyone knows its name."
"Additional Skill: Ether Adaptability"
"Ether Adaptability: Passive ability. This physique will be automatically activated when wearing the Ether Academy badge. People with this physique can stay in an ether energy environment for a long time without being corroded by the ether. However, if they stay in an ether environment for more than 24 hours, their organs will gradually fail."
"This item cannot be stored in the Wonderland Space. It will take effect if you wear it."
The overall color scheme of this badge is "colorful black". The badge looks like the dark universe, with countless stars showing colorful glow due to different surface temperatures.
At the core of this universe, there is a core of brilliant colors rising from the pages of an open book.
The color core refers to the etheric core, and the book is a symbol of scholars.
The overall design of the badge tells others that this is an organization of scholars studying ether.
In Angel's opinion, the effect of the Ether Institute badge is very powerful. With this badge, at least facing the most widespread Ether disasters in the dark corner, it can be regarded as a little self-protection.
The only drawback is that this badge cannot be stored in the Wonderland Space.
But it doesn’t matter. The badge is only the size of a baby’s fist, so it’s okay to wear it on your body.
Thinking of this, Angel pinned the badge directly on his chest pocket.
After doing all this, Angel continued to look forward to the next reward.
"Ether Converter (One-time): When in an etheric environment, it can absorb the free etheric energy from the outside world. When it absorbs a certain amount, a special etheric core will be generated. This version of the etheric core can be used to power the "Fashion Magic Book"."
After reading the introduction of the converter, Angel had not yet reacted and just thought that the "Fashion Magic Book" had an additional power supply method.
It wasn't until he looked down and saw the two major precautions at the end that he was stunned again -
"Note 1: Because the Dark Corner has not yet been transformed into a fairyland and is far away, the fashion magic energy points generated in the Dream Crystal cannot be transferred to the Dark Corner. Therefore, if you want to use the abilities in the "Fashion Magic Book", you need to obtain a special version of the Ether Core first."
"Note 2: The special version of the Ether Core can only be used in dark corners."
These two precautions are apparently for the challenger to enter the dark corner. But behind the precautions, they hint at a fact:
The power of the fairyland has very little control over dark corners!
It can even be said...no.
This reminded Ingres of his previous guess: Could it be that dark corners really exist in reality?
But, can't the dark corners be converted into copies?
That shouldn't be reality...
You can't have a "real copy", right?
Angel frowned and decided not to think about it for the time being. He would know the answer after reading the "Dark Corner Guide".
Back to the “Ether Converter”.
According to the converter's explanation, can it be understood that if the fashion magician who enters the dark corner cannot find the etheric environment and fails to condense the etheric core, wouldn't he be like a fish on the chopping board, without even the ability to protect himself?
Moreover, the ether converter is disposable, which means that even if it encounters an ether environment, it can only convert one ether core.
Once the Ether Core is used up and a way to return to the Modern City is not found, then wouldn't the "Fashion Magic Book" be just a decoration?
However, these are not what Ingres is most worried about.
What he was most worried about was, if he entered a dark corner, would he still be able to use the Nightmare Illusion Technique? Would he still be able to use his power?
You know, fashion magic needs to be charged with ether core, so are his abilities also blocked in the dark corners?
If it is really blocked, will he still go to the dark corner?
Angel took a deep breath. He felt that his knowledge of the Dark Corner, the power of the Fairyland, and even the Dream Crystal Origin seemed a little ignorant at this moment.
Perhaps, after the sea of power has calmed down a little, I will need to take some time to calm down.
With deep emotion, Angel looked at the last reward.
It is also the reward that Angel cares about the most - "Dark Corner Guide".
Perhaps some of his doubts can be answered in the Dark Corner Guide.
The information in the text column of "The Vignette Guide" is just one sentence: "A book about vignettes."
I thought I should open the package to know the details, so Angel directly clicked to receive it and also received the ether converter.
The ether converter was designed similar to a shuttle-shaped bottle, with pointed ends and a wide middle. It could be held in one hand and was not much bigger than a badge. Ingres put it directly in his arms.
The "Guide to Dark Corners" is a hardcover book with a sequined and wire-woven gear design on the cover, but the overall background is pitch black, giving it an avant-garde and gloomy feel.
The book itself is not very thick, only about two fingers wide.
Ingres opened it directly and did not see the table of contents, but there was a preface filled with words.
The first two sentences of the prologue stunned Ingres:
"The Dark Corner Guide will be activated after entering a dark corner."
"The Dark Corner Guide will give you certain suggestions and explanations based on your actions in the dark corners, and the suggestions will vary from person to person."
Angel: "???"
Ingres quickly turned to the back and found that it looked very thick, but there was not a single word on it.
In other words, this is a book without words?
Or is this a notebook without words? !
So, if you don’t enter the dark corner, you won’t even be given a guide?
When I activated the Faith Crystal before, didn't it say "Please check the Dark Corner Guide for details"? Why won't it show me the details now?
For a moment, Ingres also felt the absurdity.
But after a moment, the curse that was almost approaching Angel's throat slowly hid back into his conscience.
Because he found that he had misunderstood.
Indeed, the Dark Corner Guide is a wordless book. Only after entering the dark corner will it provide advice and support based on each person's behavior.
But in fact, even if you don't enter the Dark Corner, you can still learn some of the information about the Dark Corner through the prologue.
For example, the information that Angel wanted to know most was actually mentioned in the prologue...
"The Dark Corner belongs to the real world. Challengers entering the Dark Corner are in another world, so the rules of all encounters will be based on the Dark Corner itself."
This sentence directly explains the doubt.
Ingres had previously suspected that dark corners might be real, and now the "Dark Corner Guide" has directly given a qualitative assessment: dark corners do belong to the real world...
For these challengers, entering the dark corner is a kind of "conquest of the wilderness".
Also because they are conquerors, they must abide by the rules, especially the rules of the Dark Corner world.
But then again...conquering a different world?!
Is the power in the fairyland so powerful that it could do something big without making any noise?
Seeing the words "conquering the wasteland and alien world", Angel always felt a sense of trance. The main reason was that he had brought the text space into the Dream Crystal Origin before, and then the Dream Crystal Origin underwent a crazy transformation.
And now, a major event like conquering the alien world has occurred, but there is no ripple in the Dream Crystal Origin?
It’s as if the rules of writing are integrated into the Dream Crystal Origin and are taken more seriously by the Dream Crystal Origin than conquering the wild and alien world?
But in Angel's personal opinion, shouldn't conquering the alien world be more important?
When Angel was in the Savage Cave, the magazine he often read in his spare time was "Records of the Plane Conquest" produced by the Frost Moon Alliance.
For all wizards in the Southern Region, conquering the wasteland is a top priority.
Countless wizards were buried in foreign lands because of their expeditions.
But there are also many wizards who have distinguished themselves on the road to conquering the wilderness and have become legendary figures in the Southern Region.
For example, Angell's mentor, Sanders.
The reason why he is called the God of War is that most of his titles were earned in the Conquest of the Wasteland Plane.
Of course, Sanders went to the plane to conquer the wilderness not for a false name, but to hone himself through the rules of different worlds and find his own way.
That is, the path to true knowledge.
It's not just Sanders. Almost all wizards in the Southern Territory took the initiative to conquer the wilderness for this reason.
It is for this reason that conquering the wasteland is very important to the wizards of the Southern Region. It can be said that wizards of the Southern Region are either conquering the wasteland or on their way to conquer the wasteland.
Even Angel couldn't escape. In a sense, his previous trip to the abyss was also a kind of "conquest of the wilderness".
And what he is doing in the Daytime Mirror Domain now, although it cannot be considered as "conquering the wilderness" in the conventional sense, establishing the "Dream Mirror" organization and winning over the hearts of the people in the Mirror Domain is actually an atypical conquest of the wilderness.
Therefore, Ingres was no stranger to "famine conquest" and was well aware of its importance.
But the Dream Crystal Origin didn't seem to care as much about "conquering the wasteland" as he imagined?
Is it because... the dark corner has not been converted into a copy yet?
He didn't know the specific reason, but Dream Crystal could not care about Zhenghuang, but Angel could not.
This is no small matter and must be discussed seriously afterwards.
Ingres pondered for a moment and continued to look down.
"Due to special reasons, all challengers who enter the Dark Corner can only explore the levels whose names begin with "Dream" and cannot switch to other levels."
Ingres looked thoughtful.
In the dark corner, the layers with the word "Dream" at the beginning of their names are collectively called "Dream Layers". Angel didn't know how many Dream Layers there were in the entire dark corner, but it shouldn't be too few.
The level master "Moon Eye" that Angel knows at present is in the dream layer, and its name is "Dream Moonlight Sea".
What is the significance of the "dream layer" for the dark corners? Ingres did not know.
He also asked Doros, but as a native creature of the Dark Corner, Doros did not know the meaning of the "Dream Layer".
However, Dolos also gave his own guess: "I haven't been to other fantasy dream layers, but the 'Fantasy Moonlight Sea' can be called a fantasy dream. I personally guess that it may be related to the fact that a large amount of oxygen factors are refreshed here?"
Although oxygen factor allows them to breathe underwater, excessive inhalation will cause hallucinations.
The only thing Dolos could think of that was related to "dreams" was the hallucinogenic state of the oxygen factor, so he made this guess.
But Ingres personally feels that the meaning of the dream layer should not simply refer to the so-called "hallucinogenic state."
The Dark Corner Guide clearly stated that challengers from the Dream Crystal Origin could only move in the Fantasy Layer. It seemed to be hinting that the Fantasy Layer might have a foundation for challengers to gain a foothold? Or in other words, what conditions could challengers survive here for a long time?
The Dark Corner Guide represents the power of the fairyland, and the power of the fairyland is originally authorized by the Dream Crystal.
So, the essence of the "Illusionary Dream Layer" might have something in common with the Dream Crystal? This is what allows challengers to roam in the Illusionary Dream Layer?
Moreover, the "Dream" prefix of the Dream Layer is really eye-catching.
To put it bluntly, the Dream Crystal is actually a nightmare formed by the combination of nightmare and dream, which is also a "dream" in another sense.
Perhaps it is precisely because they all have "dreams" that challengers can act in dark corners?
"So, this counts as merging similar items?" Angel secretly complained in his heart, but the existence of "Dream" also gave him an idea.
Since the "dream layer" may be related to the "dream", if he goes to the dark corner, can he also use the power of nightmare?
Angel didn't think too much about it. He would know whether it could be used after understanding the situation of the "Dream Layer".
However, this passage in the prologue also made Anger have some speculations about the "dream layer". I was very confused before, why did the famine suddenly appear? Now it seems that it is probably because there are similar items, so they are taking advantage of it?
Read on.
"After entering the Dark Corner, no missions of any kind can be triggered. All missions related to the Dark Corner that you have received in advance will be settled in a unified manner after you leave the Dark Corner."
"The only main quest for the challenger in the Dark Corner is to become the level master of any dream layer."
"Challengers can only return to Modern City after obtaining special progress nodes or becoming the master of the level."
"All actions of the challenger in the dark corner will be recorded in the text column. After returning, the challenger will receive relevant rewards and points based on the personal action records in the text column."
