Chapter 3659 Invitation
However, this was just Laplace's idea, and the final decision was made by Ingres.
Laplace's expression remained unchanged, his brows lowered as if he was in deep thought.
But secretly he had a private chat with Ingres.
Laplace expressed his thoughts and asked for Angel's opinion.
Angel said without hesitation, "There is no need to build a platform at the moment. Even if we need to build one, it will be in the future when the power of the Dream Crystal Origin is more complete, definitely not now."
As for the reason, it’s not just the privacy that Laplace thought.
The most important point that Ingres considered was "no way to get through".
The greatest significance of building the platform is the hope of traveling to other worlds with the help of the Star Sea Train.
However, regardless of how to get the tickets, there is one most crucial point. The essence of the Dream Crystal Origin is now almost entirely a conscious body. It seems to have a physical body, but this physical body is created based on the rules of the Dream Crystal Origin.
Once out of the range of Dream Crystal Origin, the unstable rules will cause the body to gradually collapse.
In other words, in the current Dream Crystal Origin, no one is qualified to board the Star Sea Train for a long journey.
Moreover, this problem is unlikely to be solved in the foreseeable future.
In this case, there is absolutely no need to set up a platform.
In terms of conclusion, Ingres and Laplace reached a consensus, but the question before them now was...
"Can you really refuse?"
If someone else had made this request, they wouldn't have thought much about it and would have just refused.
But judging from the current situation, the establishment of the platform is most likely an invitation from the Star Master. Can they really refuse the Star Master?
Angel and Laplace were both silent.
Half a minute later, Laplace was the first to break the silence: "Let's see if we can delay it for a while."
After thinking about it, Ingres agreed.
Waiting for the right moment to change seems to be the best option at the moment without offending the Star Lord.
If there is still no "variable" at the end, we can only agree to the Star Lord.
Laplace temporarily ended his private chat with Angel, and acted as if he had finished his meditation, looking up at the Starworm opposite him.
"Building the station is a very important decision. I can't give an answer right away. I need to think about it more."
Starworm: "How long will it take to consider it?"
Laplace: "How long will it take? I can't be sure, but I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
Although Laplace said to give the answer "as soon as possible", Starworm was not a fool and could not fail to hear Laplace's perfunctory tone.
——She doesn’t seem to particularly like the platform.
This is very puzzling to the Starworms.
In its impression, even if the extraordinary people in other worlds knew that the Star Sea Train would build a temporary platform nearby, they would be so happy that they almost went crazy.
Why would Laplace resist?
The starworm was full of doubts, but it didn't ask. Perhaps it was just because they were in different positions, so the things they were considering were different.
Laplace: "Tell me about your other mission."
Laplace was obviously unwilling to talk more about "establishing a platform".
Starworm was silent for a moment, then nodded: "As for the other task, it is to send an invitation letter to Ms. Laplace."
"Invitation? What kind of invitation is this?" Laplace asked suspiciously.
Starworm: "I don't know what the invitation is specifically... or rather, I am not qualified to know. These are the exact words of the train conductor."
"It told me that only when I enter the order will I be qualified to understand."
Laplace caught an unfamiliar word: "Order?"
Starworm: "This is the hierarchy within the Star Train, and it's also the highest level we can see."
Anyone who has come into contact with the Star Ocean Train, whether a passenger or otherwise, will know something about these levels and ranks. Therefore, Starworm did not hide anything and simply explained the situation.
There is a very strict hierarchy within the Xinghai Train.
The conductor who just joined the Xinghai Train is called "Doorman", also known as a one-star conductor, and is responsible for opening and closing the doors. It sounds easy, but it requires a skilled time and space positioning ability. Once a mistake is made, it will be erased.
Erasure means literally that all your information, including everything, even the traces of your existence, will be eliminated from the living world.
No one will remember, no one will know you, even your parents will forget you.
As for the outcome of erasure, life or death?
Starworm doesn't know.
But according to the Starworm, if life is still "alive" after being erased, it might as well be "dead".
Back to the topic, Starworm used to be a doorman. He was a creature of the starry sky and was naturally good at locating time and space coordinates. But even so, he was almost wiped out several times.
It can be seen that it is not easy to be a doorman on the Xinghai Train.
After the doorman, there is the second-star conductor, also known as the "night watchman". The "night" here does not refer to the "dark night", but to all the "darkness" that blocks the train from moving. The purpose of the night watchman is to eliminate this darkness, in other words, to fight against all enemies, and the death rate of the night watchman is also very high.
Next is the level that Starworm is at now, three-star train conductor.
The three-star conductor is in the No. 199 auxiliary train. It is the highest level that a Starworm can be promoted to. It is also called the "eternal waiter."
"Eternal World" refers to every visible carriage of the Star Sea Train. Each carriage can be regarded as a small world, and the starworms need to maintain the balance of this world.
At the same time, regular waiters also have the task of picking up guests.
Most of the guests who can get tickets for the Xinghai Train are a bit difficult to deal with...so it is also difficult to be a waiter in Changshi.
"As for those above that, I don't know much. I only know there are four-star train attendants, 'Hidden Attendants', five-star train attendants, 'Maintainers', and above five stars, 'Ranks'."
"There are a total of 360 rank positions, which is the same number as the number of deputy train positions. In other words, once you are promoted to a rank position, you become the conductor of the deputy train position."
Starworm: "This is the hierarchy I know of."
"In short, according to what the train conductor meant, I want to know the contents of the invitation letter. Only those who have reached the rank of rank are qualified to listen."
After listening to Starworm's story, Angel and others were also surprised.
They also didn't expect that there was such a strict promotion procedure within the Star Sea Train, and it sounded like it had its own set of logic?
"Is the Star Lord also in the order?" Gleipnir asked curiously.
Starworm immediately shook his head: "How is that possible? Star Lord is an existence that transcends everything, and is definitely not in the order. However, there are currently 360 orders in total, and there are also 360 order rankings. The higher the order, the closer it is to the Star Lord."
Gleipnir: "In other words, the higher the ranking, the stronger it is?"
Starworm nodded: "Although it's not very rigorous, it can be understood this way."
Gleipnir thought for a moment and asked again, "You said before that your train is No. 199, so your conductor is also No. 199?"
Starworm shook his head: "Of course not. I said that the conductor is often replaced, and the conductor's rank is not equal to the deputy conductor's rank."
"However, it is true that high-ranking train conductors rarely come to low-ranking trains."
"But it's not necessarily the case. For example, the conductor of our No. 199 train this time is of high rank."
Gleipnir: "The Owl Train Captain is a high-ranking official?"
Starworm nodded: "Of course, before today, the highest-ranking conductor I have come into contact with was No. 141. But after the Owl Lord came here today, the rank of the conductors I have come into contact with has reached the top five."
"Top five?!"
Starworm: "Yes, Mr. Owl's ranking is fifth among all the rankings. Its ranking is exactly 005."
005 sequence.
Upon hearing this ranking, everyone's eyes flashed with understanding.
No wonder Starworm has repeatedly hinted that this mission was ordered by the Star Lord.
According to what Starworm said before, the higher the rank, the closer to the Star Lord. The top five ranks are probably already the Star Lord's most trusted subordinates.
Only they are qualified to accept the Star Lord's commission.
After learning this fact, Laplace and Angel's mood sank again.
They originally still held out a glimmer of hope that if the invitation to build the platform had not come from the Star Lord, they might still have a chance to refuse.
But now it seems that it is a foregone conclusion that Star Lord is the commander behind the scenes.
Laplace lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "Let's talk about the invitation letter. Since you don't know the content of the invitation, how can you send me an invitation letter? Where is the invitation letter?"
Starworm pointed to the hidden world card on the table: "This is the invitation."
"As for the content of the invitation letter, I don't know, but the conductor knows..."
Laplace interrupted, "So, if I want to know the specific contents of the invitation letter, I have to go see the train conductor you mentioned?"
Starworm waved his hand: "No, the train conductor has already recorded the details on the Hidden World Card. As long as you use the ritual to activate the Hidden World Card, you can get the contents left by the train conductor."
To put it simply, there is encrypted information on the Hidden World Card. If you want to read the encrypted information, you need to use a ritual to activate it.
Laplace: "Or the previous ceremony?"
Starworm: "No, a new ritual is needed."
Starworm did not hesitate and explained the rituals of the new ceremony one by one.
The ritual of activating the Hidden World Card is generally a little more complicated than activating the Star Mark, but it is still not difficult. Even in the ritual science, it is the most basic ritual.
As long as you are fast enough, you can complete the preparations for the ritual in an hour.
"Do you want to activate the information of the Hidden World Card?" Laplace asked Angel through voice transmission.
Angel: “We have no reason to refuse.”
In fact, Angel wanted to say that they had no "qualification" to refuse, but after thinking about it, he changed his words.
Laplace: "Then should we split up?"
Angel nodded: "I will go find the items needed for the ritual, and you guys will set up the ceremony venue. However, the ceremony venue here requires an altar. Do you need me to pull one in from the outside world?"
Laplace shook his head. "No, I found a special page of paper that can transform items in the study here. Although the quantity is limited and it cannot transform living things and extraordinary items, it is enough to use it to create a miniature altar."
Are there special pages here too?
Angel was stunned for a moment, but when he thought about the text space under the power of the fairyland, it was more perfect than that of the mysterious secretary dragon, so it was normal to have special paper pages.
Later on, you might even have a chance to get pages that can create extraordinary props.
After they made a division of labor in secret, Laplace officially spoke up and said to Starworm: "In that case, let's prepare for the ceremony now."
"Angel and I will go outside to find the items needed for the ceremony."
"Gleipnir, you and the Starworm go to the rooftop and set up the ceremony venue... Remember to get some paper from the study."
As the other owner of this text space, Gleipnir naturally understood what Laplace meant. He nodded and asked the starworm to leave the hall and go upstairs.
After Starworm and Gleipnir left, Angel asked in confusion, "You want to go with me to prepare the props?"
Gleipnir shook his head. "No, can you help me check if Luigi's challenge is finished? If it is finished, tell Luigi to log off. I have something to tell him."
Angel's thoughts turned, and he seemed to have guessed what Gleipnir was thinking.
"Are you planning on having Luigi contact Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun?"
Laplace nodded. "I want to know more about the Star Train and Star Lord. It seems that only they can give the answer to this question at the moment."
There was a flash of realization in Angel's eyes. As expected, the Sun and Moon Intelligence Agency was about to go online again.
Although Angel felt that he would not be able to get any core information, he still had to try. Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun might not know, but maybe the people behind them, or the wizards in the source world, knew?
"Okay, let's go to the Uriel dungeon first."
With a burst of flying text, Ingres and Laplace disappeared.
……
On the other side, Gleipnir and Starworm stepped onto the wooden stairs.
The stairs are hollow, and there is a storage room underneath, so when you step on them, there are always some clicking sounds.
Every time a sound is heard, the text prompts of the surrounding props will fade away for half a second and then reunite.
Starworms enjoy watching this special phenomenon.
He has experienced many worlds, but this is the first time he has seen such a wonderful world of words.
Soon, they arrived at the second floor. Gleipnir motioned him to wait in the corridor for a moment, then he went to the study and stood in front of a blank painting.
"Spatial oil painting: This is an oil painting that contains space. As long as you put objects into the painting, the painting will present the corresponding picture."
Gleipnir took out the special paper from the blank painting and walked out of the study.
in the corridor.
Starworm was standing in front of the open window, looking into the distance.
"It feels like there's a lot of fog outside..." Starworm sighed softly. There was thick fog outside the manor. It seemed like it was going to be a foggy day today?
But if it was a foggy day, why was the manor not disturbed?
Perhaps, a purifying magic array was set up in the manor?
