Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2713 (Two Thousand Seven Hundred Thirteen) Ellipse

"Even if it changes, can it become the same?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes," said Li Pingrun.

"What are you talking about? Why are you talking back and forth? Who said just now that the three shadows were different?" Tie Wandao asked.

"When I say the three shadows are different, I mean that at the same moment, the three oval shadows are all different. But at different moments, the same shadow may appear." Li Pingrun explained, "Let me explain it more clearly. For example, if you look at the three shadows at this moment, the three shadows will definitely look different. If you look at the three shadows at the next moment, the three shadows will definitely look different again. However, the shape of shadow number one at the previous moment and shadow number two at this moment may be exactly the same. I don't know if my explanation is clear enough."

Tie Wandao said: "I understand what you mean. That is to say, Shadow No. 1 at one moment may be consistent with Shadow No. 2 at another moment, and may also be consistent with Shadow No. 3 at another moment. But if we talk about a certain moment, no matter which moment we are talking about, the shapes of the three shadows at that moment must be different. Isn't that right?"

"That's right." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao said: "Since the three oval shadows are always changing, can you still tell who each of the three shadows represents?"

Li Pingrun replied: "I can tell the difference."

"They are the same in appearance, how can you tell them apart?" Tie Wandao asked, "Are there other differences?"

"Yes," Li Pingrun said, "the three shadows I saw on the waterfall when I was performing the ritual emitted different colors of light."

"How are they different?" Tie Wandao asked, "Please tell me more details."

Li Pingrun replied: "The shadow of the person whose mind was controlled glows blue, the shadow of the alchemist glows white, and the shadow of the person who asked the alchemist to design all this glows brown."

"Besides seeing the shadows of the three people on the waterfall, what else did you learn from your practice?" Tie Wandao asked. "I also learned that the alchemist who designed all this had done some tests in the Tiecang Court, and he did it in front of the person who asked the alchemist to design all this." Li Pingrun answered.

"What are you testing?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun said: "Test which location is more suitable to be selected by the alchemist."

"At that time, the Taoist priest thought that all this could be designed in one place. Apart from this place, where were the other places?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I don't know the specific locations of those places." Li Pingrun replied.

"Except for the few locations you found out through your ritual, are you sure that other locations in Tiecang Court have not been listed as alternative locations by the alchemists?" Tie Wandao asked again.

"I can be sure of this." Li Pingrun said.

"Why are you so sure?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun replied: "There is no other place that meets the conditions that the alchemist needs. Only these few places have all the conditions that the alchemist needs."

"What did the Taoist priest test before he finally chose the location to design all this from among these several locations?" Tie Wandao asked.

"We tested a lot of aspects, all of which were related to magic. I don't know how to explain it to the clan leader. I can only say that one of the important things the alchemist required was that the alchemist should be able to maximize the effect of his magic when performing the ritual at that location." Li Pingrun said, "The alchemist did three rounds of testing in total."
