Chapter 3658 Hidden World Card
"I only have one secondary mission, which is... to collect information about this world."
When Starworm said this, he slowly scanned the crowd, trying to capture some details worth savoring from their expressions.
However, apart from Gleipnir who raised his eyebrows, the other two had calm expressions, as if they were not surprised at all.
Starworm thought for a moment and added, "Collecting information is not malicious. It's just routine. Whenever my deputy train goes to any world, it will collect intelligence about the corresponding world, also to enrich the customer base."
This is just like a wizard's expedition to a new world. When going to any new world, he must first understand the intelligence of this world, and then adjust the expedition strategy through intelligence analysis.
Angel could understand what Starworm meant, but when it came to Dream Crystal Yuan, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Temporarily suppressing other thoughts, Angel recalled what Starworm had just said.
"World?" Angel: "So, in your eyes, this is a world?"
Starworm was stunned, and asked in confusion: "What else?"
Angel didn't respond, but he understood in his heart that it seemed that the people on the Star Sea Train didn't know much about the Dream Crystal Origin either.
The Dream Crystal may look like the "world", but it is definitely not the world.
If you must say it, it's a large cage.
In order to develop into a world, at least half of the power in the nightmare main body must be consumed. But now, only one or two of the power of the nightmare main body has been dissipated, so it is impossible to call the Dream Crystal Origin a "world".
Thinking about it this way, both the Starworm and the Owl Train Captain behind it have absolutely limited knowledge of the Dream Crystal Origin.
In this case, they were still able to lock onto the Dream Crystal Origin and even took the initiative to send people here. This must be the order of the Star Lord.
But then again, why would the Star Lord be interested in the Dream Crystal?
While Angel was thinking silently, Starworm said, "Can I collect intelligence here?"
Starworm knew that it was definitely inappropriate to ask this question, but he still asked it. He wanted to test who could make the final decision on this matter.
The person who can make the decision on this matter is most likely your own mission objective.
In response to Starworm's question, Gleipnir said calmly, "As long as you have the ability, you can collect intelligence in any way you want. But the prerequisite is that you must be free first."
Starworm thought that Angel and Laplace would talk, but unexpectedly it was Grapnel who responded. He was a little disappointed, but he still asked: "Then how can I get freedom?"
Gleipnir: "That depends on your performance in the future."
Without waiting for the starworm to reply, Gleipnir immediately said, "Let's continue."
"You just said that your main mission requires you to meet a specific target before you can tell them. Who is the specific target you are talking about?"
Starworm was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I want to see the person in charge of this world, or the person who has the final say."
Gleipnir was not surprised by the starworm's answer.
When Starworm mentioned that the main mission was confidential, I vaguely guessed his target. Sure enough, the person he wanted to see was Angel.
Gleipnir: "So, you plan to meet the person in charge here before you are willing to tell me the main mission?"
Starworm nodded.
Gleipnir took a deep look at the starworm and chuckled, "Let's not talk about whether you can meet the person in charge. Even if the person in charge really comes to you, how can you judge whether he is the real boss or not?"
After a pause, Gleipnir continued, "I said I am the person in charge here, do you believe me?"
"I don't believe it." Starworm groaned, "I really have no way to judge who is in charge, but if you can take on this responsibility, then I can treat you as the 'person in charge'."
In other words, as long as you dare to think and say, you can call yourself a miracle life, because you give yourself the identity when you go out. However, if you use the title of miracle life, you must bear the responsibilities and risks that come with this title.
Just like the main quest of the Uriel dungeon.
Luigi has inherited the title of "Oz Star", and he will inevitably attract challengers, mainly Tarantino.
Likewise, if you use the title of Miracle Life, you will also face the same responsibilities and risks.
For true miracles, these so-called "responsibilities and risks" are just minor matters, but for imposters, they are fatal crises.
Therefore, if Gleipnir insisted that she was the person in charge, the Starworm was willing to treat her as the person in charge and inform her of the main tasks.
But the risks arising from this will have to be borne by Gleipnir alone.
When Starworm said this, he also said, "Although my main mission here was given to me by the train conductor, the real person who arranged this mission is most likely the Star Lord."
Starworm didn't continue speaking, but his meaning was clear.
If Gleipnir has the courage to take on the Star Lord's mission, then it would be fine to treat her as the person in charge.
Starworm's tone was very calm. He didn't try to make sense, but just spoke in a straightforward manner.
But after Gleipnir heard this, he was visibly shaken.
Indeed... this matter is likely to involve the Star Lord. If she gets involved, does she really have the ability to bear it?
While Gleipnir was asking himself, Laplace, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "Go ahead and I'm listening."
The starworm was stunned.
He turned his head sharply and looked at the silver-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes who was sitting next to Gleipnir.
"Are you talking to me?"
Laplace nodded coldly: "Who else could it be except you?"
Laplace's decisive tone and the obvious aura of a superior made Starworm realize immediately: This person might be the target he is looking for!
Even if Laplace is not the target of the mission, the fact that she can speak up means that she can take on this responsibility.
Therefore, it doesn’t really matter whether she is really in charge or not.
……
Time goes back a few seconds.
Before Laplace spoke, Angel was actually planning to speak up to help Gleipnir out.
However, before Angel could say anything, Laplace secretly transmitted the message: "Gleipnir was intimidated by her. In fact, she can be the person in charge. After all, the real person in charge is sitting here. Even if this matter is related to the Star Lord, you can still hear and see it."
As long as Gleipnir agreed just now, it seemed that she took the "responsibility", but in fact it was also the case that Angel took the responsibility.
There is no difference.
However, perhaps because it was the first time she was involved in something related to "miracle existence", her mind was confused by what the starworm said.
After saying that, Gleipnir continued, "Let me do it."
In fact, it makes no difference whether she, Gleipnir, or Angel comes in person.
Because from Gleipnir's reaction just now, the Starworm must have judged that she was not the real person in charge. And Gleipnir's identity in the Daylight Mirror Domain was obvious. With the power of the Star Train, they would definitely be able to find out the relationship between Laplace and Gleipnir.
Combining this with the current situation, we can judge that Ingres is the real person in charge.
However, even so, Laplace decided to continue throwing a smoke bomb. When it is unknown whether the other party is kind or malicious, it is better to embarrass others than to embarrass yourself.
Therefore, Laplace "acknowledged" the role of the person in charge.
Starworm didn't know what Laplace was thinking. In his current understanding, the mission target was between Angel and Laplace.
Since Laplace has already admitted it, he is naturally willing to believe it.
and……
Comparing Ingres and Laplace, he is more inclined to Laplace in his heart.
She has the look of someone who is destined to be the protagonist.
Although situations like "destiny" are more of a plot in novels, as a conductor of the Star Sea Train, Starworm has been to various worlds. The real trendsetters in those worlds, their experiences, their life stories, and even their appearances, are actually more flamboyant than the protagonists in novels.
Therefore, Starworm personally believes in destiny.
Laplace has a more divine appearance than Angel: he has long silver hair, heterochromatic eyes, and a stunning face.
If this can't be called a protagonist, then what is a protagonist?
Starworm suppressed his excitement and looked at Laplace: "I can tell you, but Ms. Laplace, are you sure you want them to hear it too?"
Laplace said calmly: "Sure."
"In that case, then I'll do as you say." Starworm did not argue much and said slowly: "Before the train conductor sent me to this world, he gave me three tasks."
“These three are the main tasks.”
"First, he hopes that I can meet Miss Laplace and bring greetings from the Starry Sea Train."
Laplace: "Greetings?"
Is a mere greeting a major task? Or is there any deeper meaning to this "greeting"?
Starworm: "Greetings represent goodwill."
Laplace thought for a moment and said, "Is this the kindness of the conductor or the kindness of the star master?"
Starworm: "Although this mission was issued by the conductor, as far as I know, the conductor never issues missions at random. All his missions are already determined."
In other words, this is the goodwill of both the train conductor and the star lord.
The Star Lord expressed goodwill to the creator of the Dream Crystal? A miracle being expressed goodwill in this way?
Laplace always felt a little unconvinced, but she did not choose to question it, or rather, there was no point in questioning the Starworm.
Laplace thought for a moment and continued, "What are the other two tasks?"
Starworm: "There are two remaining tasks, both related to the Hidden World Card."
“Hidden World Card? Is it a card?” Laplace seemed to have thought of something and looked at Gleipnir.
Gleipnir immediately understood and took out the black card he had put in his pocket when he left the basement.
Starworm took a look and nodded: "Yes, that's it."
"Why is it called the Hidden World Card?" Laplace asked curiously.
Starworm thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it is called the Hidden World Card because it is hidden from the world?"
"Perhaps?" Laplace caught an interesting word.
Starworm said somewhat awkwardly: "Because this is also the first time I have seen a Hidden World Card. Before today, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a Hidden World Card."
At the end of his speech, Starworm's voice became lower and lower, and only his murmur could be heard faintly: "I'm just a train conductor. I haven't seen many things related to the hidden world..."
Lapuas did not embarrass Starworm, and asked, "What is the function of the Hidden World Card?"
Starworm: "I don't know the real function of the Hidden World Card, but according to the train conductor, the Hidden World Card can locate the Star Sea Train."
"Locate the Starry Sea Train?" Laplace looked at the black Hidden World Card in his hand. "You mean, use it to sense the location of the Starry Sea Train?"
"That's what I mean, but this card alone can't locate the Star Sea Train." Starworm: "If you want to sense the location of the Star Sea Train, you need to set up a platform."
"Platform?"
Starworm nodded, his expression suddenly became serious, and his tone became formulaic: "Yes, this is also the first mission I was sent here for."
"The conductor hopes to set up a platform here as a stop for the Xinghai Train."
The reason why Starworm emphasized many times before that he would only express his intentions when he met the target of the mission was because only the person in charge could nod in agreement to what he asked for.
For example, if we want to build a platform for the Star Sea Train here, the opinions of anyone else are meaningless, and only the creator of the Dream Crystal Origin can make the final decision.
"The Star Train rarely has platforms. Most worlds don't have platforms. Even the Quartet Wizarding World doesn't have a platform."
“Generally speaking, only when something serious happens will a temporary platform be set up nearby.”
"Permanent or long-term platforms, at least as far as I can remember, the 199th auxiliary train has never encountered one."
After a pause, Starworm looked at Laplace and said, "But this time, according to the meaning of the train conductor, if you agree to build a platform here, then this platform will be a long-term platform."
In other words, if Laplace nodded, if she wanted to take the Star Sea Train in the future, she could completely sense the route of the Star Sea Train at the platform here.
Of course, just building a platform here does not mean that you can take the Xinghai Train. If you want to board the train, you need a "ticket".
Starworm did not explain how to get the tickets.
But as long as the platform is built here, there will always be a way to get tickets.
Therefore, from the perspective of "traffic", building a platform is definitely not a bad thing. You know, the tracks of the Star Sea Train are all over the void, and the speed is amazing. As long as it is willing, it may take less than a day to travel from the South Region to the Source World by taking the Star Sea Train.
However, nothing can be viewed from just one angle.
From other perspectives, setting up a platform may not be a good thing.
For example, from the perspective of "privacy", once the platform is established, Dream Crystal will be completely exposed to the outside world.
Now the Dream Crystal is in a state of disrepair. Exposing it to the outside world would be like opening a wound and letting bacteria get in.
If one is unlucky enough to attract the "dream creatures" who covet the Dream Crystal Origin, then it would be a dead end.
