Angel: "You mean Mund was very likely connected to Color Loss Syndrome?"
Laplace neither nodded nor shook his head. He merely said lightly, "Not necessarily Mund. Perhaps it was the evil witch Mund had gone to subdue?"
"Of course, it is also possible that Color Loss Syndrome had nothing to do with either of them."
"After all, the investigation results released by the Extreme Sect only traced its origin to Morning Valley Town. They did not identify any specific person."
Angel understood what Laplace meant as well. There was no evidence proving that those two were connected to Color Loss Syndrome, so directly equating them with it would be inappropriate.
That said, since Laplace had brought up Color Loss Syndrome, he was clearly suspicious of something.
Laplace nodded. "Indeed, I do have my suspicions. But it is not a person I suspect. It is..."
Laplace looked toward the palette in the psychic display case, which gave off a faintly mysterious aura.
"It—Monde's Palette," Laplace said slowly.
The effect of Color Loss Syndrome was to make the entire Sunlight Kingdom gradually dim and lose its colors, leaving only black, white, and gray.
Yet Monde's Palette could extract and replicate colors from all things.
Judging by their effects alone, Color Loss Syndrome and the palette were complete counterparts—or rather, complements.
In Laplace's view, there had to be some intrinsic connection between the two.
At this point, Laplace suddenly changed the subject and looked at Angel. "Do you know what effect the birth of a naturally formed mysterious object has?"
Angel had not expected Laplace to switch topics so quickly. One moment they had been discussing the palette, and the next he was talking about the birth of mysterious objects.
Because of that, Angel did not react immediately. Only after quite a while
