Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3653 Star Mark

"Do you want to open it?"

Angel looked at the envelope in his hand. There was no writing on it. If there was any information, it should be inside.

However, Angel was a little hesitant about whether to open it now.

Worrying about danger was secondary. The main reason was that he was a little doubtful: was this letter, which looked so formal, really sent to him?

While Angel was hesitating, Laplace said, "Can you show me the envelope?"

Angel was stunned.

Laplace explained: "I just think the black part on it seems a little familiar."

Look familiar? Angel looked down at the black "printing" on the front of the envelope. From his perspective, he didn't find anything strange.

Could it be that the "printing" pattern was familiar to Laplace? Ingres looked at it carefully, but still found no clues. He just secretly guessed that this piece of black "printing" with irregular edges might be a map plate?

Although he didn't understand what was going on, Angel still handed the envelope to Laplace.

After Laplace took the envelope, he looked at it carefully, especially observing some light spots on the black "printing".

These light-colored spots look like smear marks caused by uneven printing and dyeing.

A few minutes later, Laplace's brows were still furrowed, and he didn't seem to notice anything wrong.

After looking down and thinking for a while, Laplace said, "Wait for me for a moment. I will be offline for a few minutes."

"What's wrong?" Angel asked puzzledly.

Laplace didn't keep the secret and said directly: "There seems to be traces of the starry sky on it. I'll go ask Gleipnir."

After saying this, Laplace handed the envelope back to Angel and then slowly disappeared, apparently having gone offline.

Ingres lowered his head and looked at the black "printing".

Is this a trace of the starry sky?

Does this look like a starry sky? Well, after taking a closer look... it does look a bit like one.

The main problem is that there are some places with uneven printing, and a few small dots are hollowed out, revealing the white envelope body underneath. At first glance, it looks like a few pure white stars dotted on the night sky.

Could it be that this is not a map plate, but a star map?

Mark the treasure through star coordinates?

Starry sky treasure map?

Angel's thoughts became more and more scattered, and later on, he even began to think of interstellar pirates, a profession that only existed in novels.

Although the imagination is not very reliable, this kind of fantasy that pleases yourself can easily waste time.

By the time Angel's wild horse was tied up with reins, Laplace, who had gone offline, had already returned to the Dream Crystal Plain.

As soon as Laplace came online, without waiting for Angel to ask, he took the initiative to say: "This is indeed a star mark, or in other words, it is the star mark of the star-dropper."

Ingres looked a little surprised. He didn't expect that it was really related to the starry sky?

But think about it, what attracted their attention before was the twinkling stars in the sky.

The twinkling stars represent the message in a bottle, so it is completely reasonable that the message in a bottle is related to the starry sky.

So, this message in a bottle came from the Star Spirit Realm?

Angel restrained his thoughts and asked, "I know about the Star Droppers. You said before that they are creatures that accidentally left the Astral World. What are the Star Marks of the Star Droppers?"

Laplace: "You can think of it as the Star Dropper's personal business card."

"It records the origin of the Star Dropper, the coordinates of the Star Spirit Realm, and the Star Dropper's personal information..."

Lapras paused and said, "However, this star mark can only be interpreted by the Astral Warlocks. Although Gleipnir knows that this is a star mark, she has no way to interpret the information contained in it."

As for why only the Protoss Warlocks can decipher it?

The reason is very simple. The Protoss Warlock can summon Protoss. Protoss are the spirits of the planets and come from the Protoss world. Naturally, they can interpret the meaning of star marks.

As for other people, even if they study the starry sky, such as astrologers like Gleipnir, they cannot interpret the relevant star marks because they cannot contact the stars.

"Star marks are extremely important to star-droppers because they record the deepest privacy of their souls. If a star-dropper's star mark is obtained by a star-dropper, it can even be used to control the other party and completely deprive them of their freedom."

Of course, although non-Astral Warlocks cannot control the Star Mark of the Star Faller as deeply as the Astral Warlocks, they can indirectly grasp the privacy of the Star Faller.

There is no problem in getting the Star Droppers to do something obediently.

"...From what you said, it feels like a body indenture."

Laplace: "For a Celestial Warlock, it is indeed like a self-indenture."

Angel: "I understand. In short, the star mark is very important to the Star Dropper. However, it doesn't seem to make any sense to us. Besides, we don't know who the Star Dropper corresponding to this star mark is or where it is."

Laplace shook his head: "No, the Stardropper is here."

"Right here?" Angel looked surprised.

He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the envelope: "You mean, the Star Dropper is in the envelope?"

“No.” Laplace pointed to the star mark on the outside of the envelope: “This star mark contains the consciousness of the one who brought down the star.”

"Is there the consciousness of the Starfaller in the Star Mark?"

Angel's eyes were full of suspicion. Before this, he had detected the envelope through energy perception and other means of inspection.

The result is that there are no energy fluctuations and life reactions.

But why did Laplace say that the consciousness of the Star Dropper existed in the Star Scar?

"Consciousness does not necessarily refer to the original consciousness, but may just be a small part of the separated consciousness."

Star marks are undoubtedly extremely important to star dropers.

Even for the Star Destroyer, it is its weak point.

If it is a weak spot, why didn't the Starfaller eliminate it? Did they leave a weakness for the Protoss Warlock on purpose?

of course not.

"Because the Star Mark itself is the embodiment of the consciousness of the Star Dropper."

Angel murmured again: "Is the Star Mark the embodiment of the consciousness of the Star Dropper?"

Laplace nodded: "Yes, you can even directly understand that the star mark is the consciousness of the star-dropper."

Consciousness is a very private matter, whether it is for star-droppers, humans, or other creatures.

It contains thinking logic, memory bank, value orientation, cognitive community... and so on. Once it is seen through by others, you basically have no secrets at all.

This is why the Star Mark of the Star Dropper can be controlled by the Star Spirit Warlock. Because the Star Spirit Warlock directly knows everything about the Star Dropper.

The Stardroppers have no privacy or secrets in front of the Protoss Warlocks.

Similarly, if Angel's consciousness could also leave an "imprint" and be seen by other wizards, he would also be controlled to death by others.

Laplace: "So, as long as a star mark is found, it must mean that the consciousness of the star-dropper exists inside."

"However, this consciousness may be the main consciousness of the Star Dropper, that is, the 'I' in its subjective cognition, which includes all the timelines of its life; or it may only contain a period of consciousness, and this period of consciousness is just a small stage in all the timelines of its life."

"You can also understand it as the main consciousness and the clone consciousness."

Although Ingres was still confused, he probably understood a little.

Perhaps the most important thing a message in a bottle brings is not the letter inside, but the star mark on the envelope. In other words, the consciousness of a star-dropper?!

Angel: "So what kind of consciousness is contained in this star mark? Main body consciousness or clone consciousness?"

Laplace shook his head again: "It is impossible to judge this just by looking at the star marks. We can only confirm it after awakening the consciousness of the star-dropper and communicating with him."

Angel asked again: "Then how to awaken the consciousness of the Star Dropper?"

"To forcibly awaken the consciousness in the star mark, only a celestial spirit wizard can do it." Laplace: "The normal way to awaken it is to wait."

Angel: "Wait?"

Laplace nodded.

According to Gleipnir, when a star-dropper reveals his star mark, it is usually because he has no other choice, either to show weakness and loyalty, or because he has no other choice.

The former is not considered for now, and as for the latter...if you want to awaken the consciousness of the Star Dropper in the Star Mark, you can only wait.

Generally speaking, the consciousness of the star-dropper will be revived after certain specific conditions are met.

For example, a certain star-dropper discovered groups of monsters in the distance.

In the situation where he was unable to fight back, in order to avoid any accidents, the Star Dropper hid his body, sank his consciousness into the star marks, and fell into a state similar to deep sleep.

It is certainly impossible for the Star Descender to keep its consciousness dormant forever, so it usually sets a waking condition for itself before falling asleep, which can also be called a "wake-up alarm clock."

Used here, the "wake-up alarm clock" means: when the monsters leave and the surroundings become safe, the sleeping consciousness will awaken from the star mark.

Laplace: "In other words, if you want to awaken the consciousness in the Star Mark using normal methods, you can only wait until the moment when the conditions for awakening are met."

Angel understood, but is it really useful to just "wait"? What if the "wake-up alarm" set by the star-dropper cannot be woken up by just waiting?

Laplace shrugged. "I don't know that either. Anyway, I've already told you everything I know."

After a pause, Laplace looked at the envelope and said, "But, instead of guessing, I think it's better to open it and take a look inside. Maybe the method to awaken Xinghen's consciousness is in the envelope?"

Otherwise, why would you make such an envelope?

Ingres thought about it and felt that it made some sense.

Moreover, the moment he received the envelope, he felt that it had a certain weight. Even if there was no letter inside, there must be something else.

However, before opening the envelope, Angel thought, why not use his mental power to test the waters first?

——Before, just in case, Angel did not use his mental power to investigate the internal situation. Even if he did energy perception, it was only based on the outside of the envelope, not deep inside.

Now that we have decided to open it, perhaps we should be more cautious and serious?

Laplace said nothing and left it entirely to Angel to make the decision.

Angel hesitated for a few seconds, but still controlled the power of nightmare and probed into the envelope.

Without any obstruction, the situation inside the envelope was immediately projected into Ingres's field of vision.

"There really is a letter inside, and a black card." Angel: "There are words on the letter paper. I didn't look closely, but there should be nothing wrong with the letter paper."

"As for the black card, although there is nothing wrong with my perception, I still feel it is a bit weird. Also, there is a pattern on it that gives me a... palpitation."

However, even the strange black card still did not make Angel feel threatened.

If his perception was correct, the letter should not be too dangerous. But whether there were any unforeseen risks was still uncertain.

Laplace: "So you want to open it now?"

Angel was silent for a few seconds, but he made up his mind: "Open."

……

Although Angell's mind was inclined towards the envelope there was no danger.

But just in case, Ingres decided to open it in another place.

As for where to move to?

Ingres originally wanted to go to the "Thunder Pool", which was not only an uninhabited area, but also because of the thunder, lightning and heavy rain, it gathered tremendous energy.

If there is danger in the envelope, Angel can also fight it by manipulating the "change of celestial phenomena".

Moreover, going to the "Thunder Pool" can also see if there are any signs that the doomsday scene has subsided. If it has, you can also take the painting away.

However, before Angel started to act, he was attracted by Laplace's words.

"If you can't find anywhere to go, go to 'The Glutton's Feast'."

A glutton's feast? Angel didn't react at first, until Laplace summoned a crystal whip with a line of text floating above it, Angel suddenly came to his senses.

"The text space you got as a reward for clearing a level?"

Laplace nodded: "Yes."

Hearing Laplace's answer, Angel's eyes flashed with trance.

I still remember the last time Laplace entered the "Glutton's Feast" by clicking the reward in the text bar, he didn't even locate the other party.

Of course, this is also because the writing system has only been in the Dream Crystal Origin for a short time, and the power within the fairyland is in turmoil, so Angel has no way to observe it, which makes it impossible to locate it.

Once the power of the fairyland has calmed down a little, it should still be possible to locate it.

But it can also be seen from this that the "text space" that the Fairyland Power rewards to the first passer is very hidden.

It may not even be within the scope of the Dream Crystal Origin.

Thinking about it this way, opening the envelope in the text space is indeed the most hidden and safest...

Thinking of this, Angel also tended to go to the text space, but...

"Can outsiders be invited into that space?"

Laplace nodded. "I asked Gleipnir to go online once before and completed the master recognition process of the text space. Now, I have full control over this text space."
