Chapter 1722 Philosophical Debate Hall
Onassis proposed two customization directions: one is to refine a weapon; the other is to refine any prop related to philosophy.
Ingres chose the second customization direction.
It was not because he was so enthusiastic about "philosophy", but simply because Onassis had too many obviously conflicting requirements for the refined weapons, such as "colorful black", "both restrained and majestic", "sharp with a little roundness", etc. Compared with the requirements proposed by Onassis, they were just trivial matters.
Although Antonio said that he didn't need to care about these unreasonable requirements, it was a customization for the champion of the Rising Star Competition after all, so if he really wanted to refine it, he still had to consider it more.
However, Ingres was too lazy to waste time and energy to study Onassis's requirements for this weapon, so he chose the second one.
The second one seemed very simple, with only one sentence. But when it comes to refining, most alchemists are probably confused, because "philosophy" is a broad concept, and the content it contains is too broad, ranging from nature to humanities, from the laws of all things to the constant universe. As long as the philosophical thinkers have a big enough brain and a far-reaching vision, these can be called philosophy.
For this reason, it is too difficult to refine related props for such a great concept word.
Other alchemists will probably think for a long time, and then find a big or small entry point to refine a prop related to a certain type of philosophy.
But Angel is different. The biggest difference between him and other alchemists is that he can create alchemical illusions, and through the power of nightmare illusions, he can blend a certain "concept" into the illusion, which makes people understand and feel.
For example, in the illusion refined by Angel, a knife mark, an extinguished fire, and a few drops of dried blood on the wall can make people feel strange, and people can't help but think of many stories. This is actually a kind of construction of the content of the illusion.
So, combining his own expertise, Angel customized a philosophical speculation hall for Onassis.
"... The inspiration comes from the heart house I saw at the Mulberry Witch before. The images with some "philosophical" concepts are transformed into books and placed in a venue constructed by illusion. Every time Onassis enters it and opens any book, he will start a philosophical speculation. "
Angel briefly recounted the content of his refining. After listening, Graya pondered for a moment: "The content of philosophy is all-encompassing. If you want to turn it into a book to speculate with Onassis, you need a lot of philosophical level and accumulation. "
Angel said lightly: "I don't need so much accumulation, and my understanding of philosophy is only general. "
"Then how did you..." refine it?
Looking at Graya's question, Angel smiled mysteriously: "I said that philosophy is just a concept, why do I need to explain it with effort. "
When Angel said this, he emphasized the word "concept", which made Greya seem to have caught something.
"Could it be..." Greya suddenly turned her head and looked into the distance.
This is the fantasy world of Dream Twins. Each station is actually like a different world. Greya looked into the distance in the bathhouse, and the maximum distance she could see was still within the range of the bathhouse.
But what Greya is looking at now is obviously not the bathhouse. Although she can't see other stations outside the bathhouse, she knows that direction, a station that the cat bus has taken her to!
"Mysterious Mountain!" Greya gently read out the name of the station. It was in the Mysterious Mountain that Greya encountered the mysterious concept that allowed her to break through years of hardship.
Angel called it a mysterious concrete object.
It was a small easter egg he left in the Dream Twins that he had refined for Greya. However, what no one expected was that this easter egg finally allowed Greya to successfully create a method on the Fantasy Island.
"Did you incorporate similar concepts to those in the Mysterious Mountain into the Philosophical Speculation Hall? "Greya stared at Angel closely. She had experienced it herself, so she knew the value of this concept.
Angel nodded, then shook his head: "It does incorporate similar concepts, but not to the extent of the Mysterious Mountain. "
Angel himself knew very well that he was still just a humble person facing the mountain of "philosophy" and was not qualified to interpret it.
But he had entered the belly of Yorkshire, the minister of the Nightmare Realm, and witnessed the birth and fall of civilizations, various mysterious images, and corresponding concepts.
Even though Angel still did not really understand everything he experienced at that time, he could simulate one of the experiences into the illusion by means of concrete objects through nightmare illusion.
Angel intercepted a very small part of the concept that he thought was related to "philosophy" and integrated it into the Museum of Speculation.
Because the concept content that Angel integrated was relatively small, and it deliberately controlled its scattered shape of books. Therefore, it can barely be called a reduced version of a mysterious concrete object, but it is far from the level of a truly mysterious concrete object.
But even so, it is still a very powerful prop, as can be seen from the fact that it can reach the top level of the intermediate level.
Onassis was speculating in it, and I believe it was enough to enlighten him.
After listening to Angel's explanation, Greya's eyes were a little regretful: "It's not as good as the Mysterious Mountain..." Moreover, it is still related to annoying philosophy, which sounds meaningless. I was thinking that after the craze of the Rising Star Competition was over, I would find someone to rob Onassis's Thinking Pavilion, but now it seems unnecessary.
Angel probably guessed Greya's thoughts and smiled lightly without pointing it out. Even if Greya really robbed the Thinking Pavilion, it would be useless. The works he gave to Xiliu and Onassis this time were all attached with contract magic patterns. Once they recognized the owner, the items would be self-destructed and unusable if they were forcibly robbed by outsiders.
"Your mentor took great pains to help you conceal the Mysterious Mountain. But at that time you were weak and had no say in the wizarding world; but now, you have some confidence." Graya smiled and said, "I heard that members of the Research Institute will release their own unique works. Why don't you also release similar works as your own in the Research Institute?"
Angel shook his head. The mysterious concrete objects involved a wide range of things. Even if he now has a certain strength and status, he may still be guilty of possessing a treasure. For this reason, the Thinking Pavilion he refined for Onassis, even though it was far from the mysterious concrete objects, was hidden and could only be used by Onassis.
Therefore, he could occasionally make similar props, but he had no intention of releasing them as a member of the Research Institute.
