Super Dimensional Wizard

 Yinsen, tea party.

When Edward said this, he raised his head and looked at everyone: "Later, I agreed to Starlight Jellyfish and became her personal makeup and hair stylist; then, I followed it to the legendary secret place...Knight's Castle."

 Hearing the familiar name "Knight's Castle", everyone understood that this was about to get to the point.

  In other words, they entered the topic they are familiar with.

 After that, it depends on whether Edward will hide anything.

Thoughts were swirling in everyone's mind, but they didn't show it on the outside, and their faces remained calm. Edward didn't know that what happened in the knight's castle had been leaked through the blood disaster ritual.

He still lowered his head and spoke about the past in a slow but firm tone—

Edward did not expect that the secret place he had been searching for for a long time would be found in this way.

 No matter how he looked for it before, he couldn't find it; but when he was about to settle for a while, he met the starlight jellyfish, a visitor from the secret place.

Through the relationship with the Starlight Jellyfish, Edward finally got the secret information he dreamed of - the Knight's Castle!

 The location of the Knight's Castle is in the Secret Forest southeast of Yi Zhi Town.

 In the past, Edward came here to search, but he did not find the coordinates of any suspected secret place. Now, under the leadership of the Starlight Jellyfish, Edward discovered that he had actually found the location of the secret place before.

When entering the secret forest, you will be greeted by a fog disaster.

 This is a kind of fog that can corrode the soul and must be resisted with soul coins.

Looking along the deepest part of the fog, you will find a wall of water mist condensed by the fog.

 Going through this wall of water mist, you can enter the Knight's Castle.

Once upon a time, Edward actually entered the depths of the fog, but did not encounter the wall of water mist... The reason is that the secret place has an opening time, and it is only open for two days every year.

 And when Edward went to look for it, it happened not to be during the opening period of the secret land, so naturally he couldn't encounter the water mist wall.

 Led by Bubble, they crossed the water mist wall.

 —Bubble, is the name of the star jellyfish. This is the news Edward got after he agreed to become Paopao's personal makeup and hair stylist.

 After passing through the wall of water mist, Edward entered a strange black forest.

 The reason why I say it is strange is that there is an inexplicable atmosphere in this black forest.

This feeling was both familiar and unfamiliar to Edward.

His hometown is Lorenbir on Deer Island, which is an extraordinary city. Anyone who enters Lorenbir will feel a sense of wonder. You will feel that the air is fresher, your thinking is sharper, and your energy is much better than usual.

 This is because the entire Lorenbir is encompassed by a magic energy formation.

This magic energy array is the source of energy for Lorenbir, and the slight breath it leaks creates an atmosphere that is completely different from the outside for Lorenbir.

 The atmosphere when Edward entered the Black Forest, or in other words, the atmosphere when he entered this secret place, was very similar to Lorenbier's feeling.

 It was as if he had entered a magic energy array.

 Edward asked his doubts.

After hearing this, Paopao whispered: "There is no magic energy array here, but there is another... thing that covers the entire secret land. You will know what it is after you enter your character."

 Edward didn't understand what "entering one's own character" meant at first.

It wasn’t until he entered the Knight’s Castle, met the Ghost Rider, and put his name on the castle’s roster.

 He finally understood what a "role" is.

 Ghost Rider is the master of the castle.

From the appearance point of view, the whole person is covered in the knight's armor, and his true appearance cannot be seen; but Bubble told him that there is actually nothing in the armor.

Ghost Rider, as its name suggests, is a "spirit".

 But the amazing thing is that Bubbles, as a star jellyfish, calls Ghost Rider: "Father".

 When Edward was confused, Bubble told him silently: "This is just my role."

 Edward thought of Paopao's emotion when he was in the makeup and hair salon. He hated the life of a young lady, where he only had clothes to wear and food to open his mouth.

From this point of view, the role of Bubble is the "eldest lady of the old castle".

 As the owner of the castle, Ghost Rider is naturally Bubble's father.

After thinking about this, Edward seemed to have a vague understanding of the "character".

Next, at Bubble's strong request, the Ghost Rider took out a gleaming castle roster and put Edward's name in the roster.

　　　「Missy’s makeup and hairstylist: Edward.」

As Edward's name was registered, the information flowing in the void seemed to condense into an invisible river and poured into Edward's mind.

This information is so complicated that it is impossible to read it all at once.

Edward could only read it selectively. The first thing he read was the "Survival Guide" of the castle - the role-playing chapter.

After reading the information in this chapter, Edward finally understood why Paopao had always emphasized getting into the "character".

 Because if you want to stay in the Knight's Castle for a long time, you must have a character of your own.

 Papa is the eldest lady, so he has to play the role of eldest lady every day.

 And Edward is now registered as a makeup and hair artist, so he will need to play the role of a makeup and hair artist in the future.

 Once your behavior is inconsistent with the character's behavior, it violates the core of role-playing, which may weaken the soul at best, or directly dissipate the soul at worst.

This is why, as soon as Paopao entered the castle, he immediately assumed a proud posture, which was completely different from the previous feeling in the outside world.

 After registering, Paopao took Edward to the dressing room where he would work in the future. Just across from the bubble room.

 Along the way, through observation, Edward discovered that most of the people in the castle were role-playing.

The maids worked hard to wipe the floor, the cooks were either handling food or cooking, the grooms held lanterns and walked around the horses, and the doctors wore stethoscopes and asked everyone about their physical condition.

  Their eyes were tired, and they did not dare to neglect at all, for fear of doing something inconsistent with the role.

 But Edward could see that they were all "acting". Moreover, the traces of acting are very strong.

 Does a normal doctor ask people about their physical condition when meeting them? Also, not all diseases require a stethoscope...

  Anyway, in Edward's opinion, although they were acting, they were not acting very well.

Maybe this kind of acting will not trigger punishment, but in terms of acting skills, it is very average.

 Edward also began to get into the role after coming to the dressing room. However, he took a big advantage because he is a makeup and hair artist himself, and he loves his profession very much. He can perfectly present the essence of a makeup and hair artist without having to act.

Also because Edward doesn’t have to think about character performance, he has more time to study the information in his mind.

 Through the information, Edward learned many secrets of the secret place.

For example, the secret place is actually a window deliberately left by the creator of Yi World for external display. The reason why it is called a "window" is that people in reality can observe the ecology of the secret place through various mirrors, pages, drawing boards, etc. left by the creator.

 Even real people can come to secret places to hunt for treasures as "false identities".

After studying the information about the "false body", Edward finally found his goal of entering the secret place: a way to leave the world of the phantom!

 When an outsider comes to the secret place using a "false body", they can use various methods that do not violate the character's behavior to induce the "false body" to consume.

 After consumption, you must pay.

 The money here refers to soul coins.

 Generally speaking, avatars do not have soul coins, so the avatars waste your money in vain.

 One of the rules of the secret place is that you cannot have **** for free. Everything you pay has a price. If you can't repay the price, you can only pay it with your soul.

In other words, when outsiders are unable to pay soul coins, they will trigger the spiritual transformation ritual in the secret place.

—The spirit transformation ritual is the core of the entire secret place; when Edward first entered the secret place, the strange atmosphere he felt was not the magic energy array, but the huge spiritual transformation ritual.

 As long as the outsider activates the spiritual transformation ritual, you can take this opportunity to occupy the outsider's body.

 In other words, the soul of an outsider enters the ritual world and takes your place.

 You can leave the ritual world and occupy the body of an outsider.

Although there is no way to leave the Yi World with the original body, this can be regarded as a curved way to save the country. At least you can leave the Yi World instead of being trapped in this absurd box garden.

 …

Yinsen Space.

Edward raised his head and looked at everyone: "Speaking of this, I think you also understand why I occupy the body of this Jingmu clan."

“Because she established a false body in a secret place through the window of the ritual world, and used the false body to consume in my dressing room.”

“And she didn’t have a soul coin on her, so she activated the spiritual transformation ritual.”

"She entered my body, and I left the secret place through the spiritual transformation ritual and occupied her body."

 Edward: “So, even though I’ve taken over this body, it’s not entirely my fault.”

 Everyone was silent, seeming to be thinking about the information Edward said.

 Half a minute later, Gleipnir was the first to break the silence: "I know Hilda's character very well. She will not spend money for no reason. So, you induced her?"

Edward was silent for a moment and said softly: "Other people in the castle, after sensing that the 'false body' was coming, were all trying to induce her."

"And I, of course, am not exempt from the secular world. After all, they want to leave through the spiritual transformation ceremony, and I want the same thing."

"But I wasn't as straightforward as them. I at least gave Hilda a choice."

 At this point, Edward talked about what he called "induction".

 He put a dressing mirror he made by himself in the dressing room.

 This makeup-changing mirror has the ability to change hair color, hairstyle, and makeup.

 Because the owner of the changing mirror is Edward, if an outsider uses it, he will be owed money.

"Changing the makeup mirror was my only inducement. After I put it on, I left the dressing room." Edward: "I don't plan to come into contact with the Miss Hilda you mentioned. Because I'm afraid that I will see Xilu." When Ruda is around, I can’t help it.”

 Edward was too eager to leave the ethereal world, so he was afraid that when he saw Hilda, he would be too attentive and arouse Hilda's suspicion.

 So, he simply left.

 Let everything be left to God’s will.

If Hilda goes to the dressing room and uses the dressing mirror, it means that God is helping him.

If Hilda didn't use the dressing mirror, she could only say that it wasn't her turn yet.

"In the end, Siluda used my dressing mirror." Edward said at this point, looking at Gleipnir: "I didn't force it, nor did I do much inducement."

 “Everything can only be said to be fate.”

 After hearing this, everyone fell into silence again. The information Edward said...is all true.

 At least, it was exactly the same as what they knew. Edward did not lie or hide anything.

His last operation was indeed not a direct inducement, at least it was much better than the servants Siluda met.

Although Edward is suspected of fishing, if Hilda can restrain herself and not bite the bait, nothing will happen.

Even Gleipnir sighed in his heart: What is the magic power of changing the makeup mirror? Or is it that Siluda changed her look so beautifully in the makeup mirror that she just fell into a trap?

 Let’s get back to the point, let’s not talk about the soul exchange between Edward and Hilda for the moment, just talk about Edward’s story... It can be basically seen that he is very sincere.

I don’t know if he lied about the matters in the ritual world; but he did not lie about the matters after entering the secret land.

Even, he even revealed his plan to "invite you into the urn" by changing the makeup mirror, which is enough to show his sincerity.

Because he could have said "I was not in the dressing room at all, and it was an accident that she used my dressing mirror"; because saying this would actually make sense, and it could even get rid of all the blame on himself.

 In this case, it was a real accident that he took over Hilda's body.

 But Edward did not use this kind of rhetoric, but made it clear that he also meant to induce, which on the contrary reflected his sincerity.

 At least at the moment, Gleipnir's opinion of Edward is much better.

However, these are all psychological thoughts, and Gleipnir remained expressionless on the surface, even a little cold.

She coughed and continued: "Why do you have to induce it? You can't communicate with her normally. If you want a body, she can also help you find a body in the outside world that can carry your soul."

Gleipnir actually knew the answer, but she still asked, naturally to test it.

Edward smiled bitterly: "The secret place has rules and regulations, and we can't disclose any information to the avatar. If the avatar comes to communicate with us, we can only say things that are consistent with the character's behavior. Therefore, we can't communicate with the avatar. comminicate."

“There is only one way for the avatar to understand our information. That is for us to talk to ourselves and let the avatar overhear it.”

“But this soliloquy, for people outside the ‘window’, does not seem to be able to hear it all. They can only hear some insignificant words.”

 It is still very difficult to communicate.

Gleipnir nodded, Edward was telling the truth this time.

 She thought for a while and continued to ask:

"You said before that if outsiders want to enter the secret place, they need a 'window' medium. And the window medium, according to you, is various mirrors, book pages, drawing boards... etc."

“When Siluda entered the secret place, she must have used the window medium.”

Edward nodded: "Yes, the window medium he used is a mirror."

Gleipnir narrowed his eyes: "Then this mirror should have fallen into your hands by accident, right?"
