As the countdown dwindled, more and more staff members arrived at the scene.
The leader was Laplace and her Mist Spirit squad.
Under the direction of the Mist Spirits, the onlookers who had come to watch the spectacle were moved to a distance.
Those who remained on the crystal plain below the floating island were mostly challengers participating in this sandbox instance.
Thousands of challengers may sound like a lot, but scattered across the vast Crystal Plains, they are actually just a few scattered groups of people.
"Have you lowered your profile?" Laplace walked up to Angell. "I knew it! You're standing right below the island, so conspicuously, and nobody notices you?"
Angel nodded: "If we don't lower our profile, people will always come looking for us."
Although he had been focusing his attention on the Phantom Leopard, he had also noticed Navat's deliberate searching.
Laplace: "That's normal. These days, quite a few people have realized that Dream Crystal was actually a new blue ocean. For the sake of visible vested interests, not to mention you, everyone in the Dream Crystal organization has become a hot commodity."
Everyone wanted to cut a piece of golden future from the members of the Dream Mirror organization.
Therefore, Gabriel couldn't help but use his talent to teach a lesson to some of the eager underlings.
"You've been approached by someone too?"
Laplace nodded noncommittally: "Although it was few, a few old friends did come looking for us."
The "old friends" Laplace refers to are basically beings of the same level, or ancient relics that have lived for a very long time.
While these people may have some expectations for the new blue ocean, at their level, they wouldn't really fight tooth and nail for such petty gains.
It was just a brief encounter with Laplace to indicate that he had arrived.
As for whether there will be any future profits to be made, we'll see in the future.
“Gleipnir, on the other hand, although she’s not online much, she gets called out to every day.” Laplace: “And those who come to her are all leaders of various races. She can’t refuse, and she can’t beat them up like Gabriel did, so she can only deal with them.”
Moreover, Gleipnir was currently at the multi-race gathering, where he was in contact with the leaders of various races every day. Angor could easily imagine that Gleipnir was probably surrounded by people every day.
“However, Gleipnir herself doesn’t seem to mind,” Laplace chuckled. “Although she might complain a bit, I can tell she actually enjoys it.”
As Laplace finished speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a floating sea urchin drifting towards the end of the Crystal Plains out of the corner of his eye: "Hey, Gabriel's here."
Gabriel's appearance at Crystal Origin created two completely different scenes.
Some people were afraid of Gabriel's identity as a "mirror ghost" and backed away; but others knew that Gabriel was a member of the Dream Mirror and took the initiative to approach him and try to strike up a conversation.
However, whenever someone approaches, Gabriel silently opens his mouth wide.
The power of words stopped them in their tracks.
Laplace waved to Gabriel, who immediately showed delight and flew over.
When Gabriel got closer, he realized that Gray Porcelain was actually following Gabriel, but he was staying behind Gabriel, clutching the spikes on Gabriel's body, looking like a submissive person being protected.
Upon seeing Laplace, Gray Porcelain released Gabriel's spear and breathed a deep sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, it's good that Lord Laplace is here."
"What's wrong?" Laplace asked curiously.
Hui Ci looked terrified: "I arrived nearby more than an hour ago, but people surrounded me along the way, speaking languages I couldn't understand. I was so scared that I couldn't leave."
Gabriel, controlling the illusion puppet, said, "This guy is utterly foolish. He's surrounded by people and doesn't even know to threaten them instead."
"Even if you don't dare to threaten, go stay at the Word Manor."
"As a result, he did nothing and was simply surrounded by that group of people for half an hour."
"If 100 is a perfect score, giving him 3 is considered merciful."
Gabriel was speechless and made a sarcastic remark.
It stayed in the Word Manor until the Sandbox Wonderland opened, then it came out.
Then I saw the gray porcelain surrounded by people.
In the end, Gabriel came and rescued the gray porcelain.
"Someone is holding my hand, I can't leave," Gray Porcelain said helplessly, her eyes still somewhat unfocused.
Seeing this, Gabriel was even more helpless: "When I went there, I saw a lady with a teacup head covered in gold trim grabbing his hand and saying something."
"He was frozen in place, not only did he not move, but his face was also flushed."
"This is obviously a honey trap!" Gabriel quipped. "Don't you like reading in the Rabbit Town library? You should understand by reading a few more books."
Gray Porcelain hesitated for a long time, not daring to refute, and could only change the subject: "Where are the others? Hasn't Mr. Angell arrived yet?"
Laplace raised an eyebrow: "Turn your heads around yourselves."
Following Laplace's directions, Gray Porcelain and Gabriel turned to look to their right. At first, they saw the crowd of onlookers in the distance, but just as they blinked, Angel's figure appeared nearby.
No, it didn't appear suddenly.
Angell had been nearby the whole time; they had just subconsciously overlooked him.
"What is this...?" Gray Porcelain looked puzzled.
After pondering for a moment, Gabriel seemed to have thought of something and spoke through the illusion puppet: "Is this a way of reducing one's presence?"
Angel nodded, ignoring their surprise, and looked at Laplace with curiosity: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, how did you find me just now?"
He used Nightmare Illusion to reduce his presence, so logically Laplace shouldn't have noticed him.
Laplace did not answer immediately, but instead waved gently into the distance.
Suddenly, a small television screen flew out from the body of a mist spirit that was evacuating the crowd.
The television screen was still rapidly recording information.
It stopped recording information when it saw Laplace calling to it and leisurely flew over.
"It wasn't me who discovered you, it was the image spirit that sensed your location."
As Laplace finished speaking, Turing had already flown close by.
It floated in mid-air for a moment before landing steadily on Angel's shoulder, and an emoticon appeared on the small TV screen: "(*▽*)".
Angor then realized that Turing could sense the Book of Fashion, so confirming his location was quite simple.
Just as they were talking, another group of contestants arrived from a distance.
Angell noticed that this group of people were all Crystal Eyes.
The bunny girl and Eve were also mixed in.
Upon seeing Laplace and the others, the rabbit girl immediately approached them. Seeing this, Ifta gestured for the Crystal Eye troops behind her to find a temporary position, and then followed the rabbit girl.
This time, Angell didn't resort to the "scare" tactic.
When they arrived, they naturally saw Angell.
The rabbit girl waved to Angel, then ran to Laplace's side and whispered something.
It was Ivyda who approached Angel with a troubled expression: "Sir..."
Angel knew what she wanted to ask and said softly, "I don't have any news about Tunita right now, but don't worry too much. There's an alert system in place, so everything will be fine."
Ifda hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently: "Yes."
"Are you here to enter the Sandbox Wonderland?" Angor didn't want Ivoda to remain immersed in Tunita's situation, so he casually started a conversation.
Ifda quickly shook her head: "No, I won't participate!"
"If you don't want to participate, then don't participate. Why are you so agitated?" Gabriel's voice came from the side.
Ivyda said somewhat reservedly, "It's not that I'm excited, it's that I'm worried you might misunderstand, sir."
“What did I misunderstand?” Angell was taken aback.
Eveda said softly, "Ever since we learned that the Dream Mirror Organization was going to take over the Sand Table Wonderland in Area 1, the Elders have unanimously decided not to compete with the Dream Mirror Organization."
Ifda paused, then pointed to the Crystal Eye Clan members who had come with them earlier.
"Also, although they signed up for the competition, they are only here to experience the mechanism and prepare for the competition in other areas later."
"We will absolutely not fight with the Dream Mirror Organization for control!"
Listening to Eve's serious words, Gabriel said speechlessly, "The way you're talking makes it sound like you're guaranteed to gain control just because you're in the competition."
Eveda said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just didn't want you to misunderstand, sir."
“I don’t misunderstand. Besides, your concessions don’t make me feel at ease.” Angell shook his head slightly; he really didn’t care about competing with others.
Ifda opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything and just silently retreated to the side of the rabbit girl.
With about ten minutes left in the countdown, Lü Nuo arrived.
Lu Nuo did not come alone; Lu Luolun came with him. However, Lu Luolun did not step into the Crystal Origin but instead went to the area for onlookers and silently observed.
Angel noticed that Behemoth and Nakbi were also following beside Deer Loren, one on each side, perched on Deer Loren's shoulders.
Judging from their little expressions as they looked around, they were probably searching for themselves.
Angell thought for a moment, then made himself invisible to them, and sure enough, they immediately waved at him.
After returning the greeting, Angell turned his gaze to Lüno.
When Luno saw Angell looking over, he silently took out the Heart Reed.
Seeing Lu Nuo's embarrassed expression, he knew that Lu Nuo's language learning progress had definitely stalled again.
Angell sighed, took the Heart Reed, and said to him, "Don't go in later."
Lu Nuo was taken aback.
Angel: "Instead of going to the Sandbox Wonderland, you should hurry up and learn the language and summon more NPCs from the Starry Night Dream."
Neither Lúno nor Laplace will enter this sandbox wonderland.
Laplace did this because he needed to control the Mist Spirit.
Compared to a small, sandbox-like wonderland, the order of the outside world and the existence of the Mist Spirits are more important. Therefore, Laplace will not go.
As for Lü Nuo, although he expressed his willingness to go to the Sand Table Wonderland, he decided to give up after considering that he had difficulty communicating with others.
The situation in the Sand Table Wonderland is unclear. If there are trials that require dialogue to continue, entering it would be a cataclysmic event for Lü Nuo.
Moreover, Lü Nuo's abilities are indeed more suited to being utilized in the Starry Night Dream.
Suddenly, Gray Porcelain reached out her hand: "Do I... do I really have to go too?"
Angell glanced at the gray porcelain, which lowered its head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Your abilities are actually quite useful, but if you don't want to go, we won't force you."
Gray Porcelain: "I..."
Seeing the gazes of everyone, especially the mocking expression on the puppet in Gabriel's hand, Gray Porcelain's lips trembled slightly, and he said softly, "If it's not dangerous... I, I can go."
Angell smiled but did not make a decision immediately.
Let's take a look at the general rules of the sandbox wonderland later, and then see if we should include gray porcelain.
……
There were five minutes left in the registration countdown.
The people present had basically all arrived, and the thousands of people had been divided into hundreds of small teams, each occupying a section of Jingyuan.
The area closest to the center, below the floating island, is generally considered the "hot contender" by all parties.
For example, the area where Angel and the others were located was directly below the floating island, and also the very center of the area.
In addition, Angell saw many familiar faces in the central area.
Nawat, along with the Phantom Leopard and several members of the Phantom Royal Family, quietly occupied a territory.
The visitors from the Gosen Mirror Realm, including the Magic Flute and Lady Rose Leaf, also occupied a prime spot. Among them, Angor spotted a white porcelain figure shrouded in mist; without a doubt, this was Miss Gosha, who had received support from Angor's illusion node.
The other person was also looking in Angell's direction, seemingly searching for him. However, due to her lack of presence, she couldn't see Angell at all.
People from the Hundred Dragon Kingdom also came, and their aura was the most powerful. No one dared to approach them. Angor didn't recognize the Mirror Dragon leading them, but he recognized one of the cave dragons inside. It was Kuntra, who had led them there before.
When the Hundred Dragon Kingdom arrived, people from the Undying Royal City also came, but Angor didn't recognize any of them. There was only one person of the same race as Dudubi, who looked somewhat familiar to Angor, as if he had appeared on stage at a routine multi-race gathering.
The Rongshi tribe, which everyone had just noticed, and the Ersi tribe, which called themselves nettles, also occupied a spot.
It's worth mentioning that Pippi Castle also sent people.
However, the one leading the way was not Pilushi, but Luigi's old friend... Barbaregon.
A multi-headed dragon.
The Mirror Dragon from the Hundred Dragon Kingdom looked at Babaregon several times with extremely complicated expressions.
But Barbaregon completely ignored him, simply standing silently at the forefront of Pilushiu's squad, his gaze fixed on the sand table phantom in the sky.
In addition, the Divine Eye Clan sent a leader with three vortexes in his eyes; the UFO Clan had a gaseous creature fly directly into the air; and the Yingji Clan led an army of several hundred men in a majestic manner.
However, what surprised Angell was a group of people.
Yes, it's humans.
They stood in the center, and many people around them dared not approach.
They come from the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop).
