Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 3081: Chapter 3082: Image Transmission

Angel felt a storm of confusion, yet at the moment there seemed to be no solution, nor could he find one.

He could only continue to listen, hoping there might be some ”revelation” later on.

Sharp female voice: ”Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve seen His Grace ask the master to create something. The last time I saw... was the last time. I’d love to see what the master would craft for His Grace.”

As soon as the sharp female voice finished, the floating female voice said lightly: ”But as far as I know, that Time Tribute escaped and hasn’t been found yet.”

Sharp female voice sneered: ”Where could it possibly escape to? As long as it’s still in the outer black ring, won’t it eventually be caught again?”

The floating female voice paused: ”Not necessarily, if it gets entangled, then it’s hard to say.”

”You mean the little guy might intercept the Time Tribute?”

”That’s a possibility.”

”Now that we’re talking about it in front of it, will it still go?”

”Who knows? But when the little guy pretends to sleep, its ears still twitch oh so subtly; it really doesn’t care about us...”

As sharp and floating laughter intertwined, the images in his mind slowly faded away.

The black screen wasn’t the end; this was the conclusion.

However, after hearing everything, Angel still didn’t understand Dalmatian’s point.

Earlier, he thought there might be some new breakthrough to follow, but now it seems there isn’t. Without a doubt, the focus of this conversation still falls on the ”Time Tribute.”

But what exactly is the Time Tribute? Without any background or context, and no reference point, expecting him to guess is simply too difficult, isn’t it?

After racking his brains to no avail, Angel finally decided to connect to the Void network, intending to chat with Dalmatian directly.

Upon learning Angel’s thoughts, Wang Wang didn’t refuse and directly connected Angel with Dalmatian for dialogue.

”Wang~!” The clear and distinct bark of a puppy sounded, and although Angel didn’t understand the meaning of the bark, from the excited tone, he guessed Dalmatian was greeting him.

”Hello to you too.” Angel pretended to be fluent in dog language and smoothly conversed with Dalmatian: ”By the way, I received the image you sent over, the content was very detailed, the focus was very clear, and the record was very meticulous.”

”Wang Wang!”

Angel’s stream of praise was answered by two proud barks.

”Speaking of which, we communicate too little normally, images like this are quite good. You can regularly capture some to send me... Capture, meaning record.”

”Wang Wang?”

Angel detected a hint of confusion from Dalmatian, but he didn’t know exactly what it meant: ”Are you trying to ask something? You can say it directly, or have Wang Wang relay it.”

However, Dalmatian continued to bark a few times, and Angel still didn’t understand, and Wang Wang didn’t provide any interpretation.

Angel paused for a moment: ”I can also capture some images from here for you, if you’re interested.”

Dalmatian: ”Wang Wang Wang!”

This time, Angel still didn’t understand, but Wang Wang seemed to understand and relayed to Angel: ”It appears the lord is very happy and agrees to exchange recorded images.”

Angel: ”...How did you understand it?”

Wang Wang fell silent.

Angel knew there must be a communication channel between Wang Wang and Dalmatian, but he didn’t expect they would use it so openly in front of him, making him feel like an outsider.

He felt a twinge of resentment, but had nowhere to express his melancholy.

Indeed, by controlling the Void network, they held an absolute advantage. As a mere ”client,” he could only reluctantly accept the backdoor dealings of these two dogs of authority.

”Alright, if you don’t want to say, then forget it.” Angel: ”Since you’ve agreed to exchange captures, you must at least tell me how to transmit my images to you.”

Wang Wang didn’t stay silent this time and replied with a few sentences.

Wang Wang didn’t explain the mechanism behind it; however, the operations were quite simple: Upon logging into the Void network, as long as there’s a strong desire to ”transmit images,” Heideland will change the information transmission mode. Then, as long as Angel imagines the image, Heideland can transmit it over.

After listening, Angel immediately gave it a try.

He didn’t understand what ”Heideland changing the information transmission mode” meant before; now... he still doesn’t understand. It seems only Wang Wang can sense the alternation of the information transmission mode.

Although Angel couldn’t perceive the shift in the transmission mode, he tried to imagine an image, and it really was transmitted.

Moreover, Angel’s ability to perceive the ”transmission” was because Heideland played the image he transmitted in his mind before sending it.

Using a more systematic description method:

”Image generated, would you like a local playback before transmission for further confirmation? Yes/No.”

”Would you like to modify the image? Yes/No.”

”Would you like to proceed with the image transmission? Yes/No.”

”...”

These selections allowed Angel to confirm whether his image was generated and transmitted. Furthermore, Angel could modify the generated image.

Although the Mother Tree network can also transmit images, adding filters or face-changing... such operations, even though Jon has envisioned them, probably won’t take precedence.

Admittedly, this technology is somewhat advanced.

Angel chose to transmit a ”fictional” static image, with himself as the centerpiece: he was in the Mirror Corridor; the Mirror Corridor should be emitting a faint glow, but in front of the corridor was a deep darkness. As if ahead was an endless black hole, absorbing all light, leaving everything in silence. And the main character—Angel—was stepping into the darkness.

The backdrop was the Mirror Domain, but the location in the image was... Abyssal Hollow.

Angel only depicted himself and did not include Laplace. As for why he chose the image of ”himself walking towards the Abyssal Hollow,” it was primarily to raise a flag.

After all, he was ”Shava.” If the captured image were just ordinary landscapes, wouldn’t that seem too mundane? So, he pulled a grand gesture, using the Abyssal Hollow as a backdrop.

Of course, Angel also intended to avoid information exposure.

Landscapes and people have traces to follow, but the Abyssal Hollow is entirely black, making it challenging to find traceable information.

Since it’s just an attempt, there’s no need to expose too much valid information.

Once the image was transmitted, Wang Wang offered no comment, but Dalmatian cheerfully barked several times, seemingly commenting on the image.

Unfortunately, Angel couldn’t understand, and Wang Wang provided no explanation.

Still, Angel could sense Dalmatian’s good ”mood,” so he took advantage of the momentum and queried: ”By the way, in the image you sent earlier, what does the Time Tribute refer to?”
