Main Text Volume Chapter 185 Illusion and Music

Angel has no plans to tell Toby about Greya's disappearance. It is still a question mark whether she has been in trouble. Telling Toby now is just adding to the burden.

Even if Toby is told, and Toby knows Greya's disappearance, how can he go to the Nightmare Realm to find her? Where is the Cold World? Can he encounter the Nightmare Realm passage after going to the Cold World? All these questions are unrealistic illusions. At least Angel thinks that, let alone Toby, even if he is included, the chance of finding Greya together is infinitely close to zero.

In this case, hiding Toby is the best choice.

This night passed quietly in this heavy and complicated mood.

During the day, Angel still went to the Sky Tower to climb the tower as a routine; after all, there are only a few players like the Breath of the Rain. The tower climbing on this day was still very smooth, playing 4 games in the morning and afternoon, and winning all 8 games. Not only did he get 24 points, but he also got 96 contribution points. Although the contribution points are not many, it is better than nothing.

At night, Angel took out the illusion notes given by Sanders and decided to study illusions formally.

Basic illusions are actually about creating illusions. Sanders has already said the key points. Constructing illusions according to local conditions can make the illusions more real; secondly, basic illusions must not make logical errors.

As long as these two points are correct, the constructed illusions will be more convincing.

However, the illusions created by basic illusions can only work when the opponent breaks into the illusion without any defense. It is almost useless to cast illusions in front of others.

Therefore, learning basic illusions is not for fighting. At least, in a narrow battle or a serious ring match, the illusions created by basic illusions are purely for death.

Angel learned basic illusions and was almost handy. Under the guidance of the notebook, in less than half an hour, he created an illusion similar to an underground cave with the underground laboratory as the background. Although the illusion still has flaws, such as stalactites dripping water and the slippery ground, it should be humid air at first glance, but in fact the air is very dry.

If Angell used water magic to render this illusion a little bit when constructing it, there would be fewer flaws.

However, it is a great achievement for a beginner to construct such an illusion so quickly and roughly perfectly. The reason why he can learn basic illusions so quickly is that the outstanding guidance method and the fit of talent are the biggest factors.

Wizards who are not illusionists can of course learn basic illusions, but the speed of learning will be much slower. This is the bonus effect brought by talent.

The construction of illusions first requires Angell's own cognition of reality, so the illusions he constructs must at least be experienced by him. If you construct illusions out of thin air, you can only fool children, and anyone with a little common sense can see through it at a glance.

For example, the lava illusion constructed by Angell, he had never seen real lava, the book recorded that it was orange-yellow, so he constructed magma that looked like orange; the book recorded that magma would smoke, so the magma he constructed emitted curling white smoke like a hot spring, and in order to make the white smoke more ethereal, Angell also imitated the scene of Nausicaa's smoke rings rolling when she puffed out smoke.

Such an illusion, anyone who has seen a volcano will understand that there are many mistakes.

It's like the difference between flat animation and 3D animation, the loopholes are too obvious.

Of course, if Angell's illusion skills are very deep, even if he really constructs a scene like a flat animation, he can also make up for it in other places, such as the magic array of the illusion system, combined with the weird illusion, it's not a matter of minutes to drive someone crazy or kill him.

Angell already knows the general content of the basic illusion, and the illusion he constructs, as long as it is a place he has experienced, can basically make people feel like they are there. Next, Angell needs to practice more, go out more, avoid various logical errors, and the basic illusion will naturally reach perfection.

After learning the basic illusion, Angell did not rashly learn other low-level illusions recorded in the back of the notebook, but decided to hone his basic skills.

In the next few days, Angell climbed the tower while deepening and honing the basic illusion.

On this day, the sky was clear and the air was bright.

Angell told Toby a day in advance that he would not go to the Sky Tower today, so in the early morning, Toby flew to the forest to play somewhere.

As soon as Toby left, Angell smiled strangely, and then began to arrange a small illusion with the yard as the center according to local conditions.

The illusion created by Angell was actually not big. The fence did not change, the mistletoe did not change, and even the house did not change in general.

He only changed the position of the window. The window used to be on the right, and Angell changed it to the left, but the window on the right was still wide open in the illusion.

Even people who often live here would not notice such changes in details.

Toby played outside all day and came back slowly when dusk was approaching. Angel sat in the hall and used his mental tentacles to detect Toby's movements.

As Angel expected, Toby did not doubt that the window was open at all, and rushed in directly from the right window.

Bang——

The sound of the head hitting the glass.

Angel was holding back his laughter in the living room, while Toby was full of doubts. Wasn't the window wide open? Why couldn't he get in?

Toby came to the window and tried it with his foot. He found that the window was closed, but it looked open.

"Is it hallucinating?" Toby was confused and decided to come in through the attic window.

The skylight of the attic was also tampered with by Angel. When Toby rushed in, he hit the glass again. Toby was knocked to pieces and was spinning dizzy on the roof.

Angel saw this scene in the living room through his spiritual tentacles and couldn't help laughing.

Laughter spread, and Toby naturally heard it.

Now it finally understood why it hit its head continuously. Thinking that Angel was practicing illusions these days, how could it not know that it was following Angel's tricks.

It puffed its cheeks angrily.

"Okay, no more joking. I have removed the illusion, come in!" Angel came to the attic and smiled at Toby.

Toby ignored Angel and puffed his cheeks not to scream.

Angel climbed from the attic to the top of the building and apologized to Toby with a smile. Toby still ignored him, but turned around and pointed his gray tail towards Angel.

"I was just joking." Angel grinned: "At worst, I will take you to a feast later. I heard that a batch of deep-sea fish has been brought into the market in town. Let's go over and try it?"

Toby replied slightly, but still didn't speak. He just stared at Angel with his eyes full of grievance.

Angel felt a little guilty because he was being stared at. His prank on Toby was really just a joke, and he wanted to test the results of his illusion...

Angel coughed twice: "Let's do this. I'll lend you the Echo Flower for a while, and I'll give you a surprise later."

After Angel finished speaking, he took the echo flower from the attic and went down to the quiet room.

After Angel left, Toby's cheeks calmed down slightly, and he came to the window with a suspicious expression. He used his claws to make sure the window was open before flying into the attic.

Toby flew from the attic to the living room and was teased by Angel. He was actually not very angry. The feigned anger just now was just to take this opportunity to blackmail another Echo Flower.

But he didn't expect that the blackmail failed, and Angel took away an echo flower.

I don’t know what surprise Angel is talking about...

…

After a while, Angel came up with the Echo Flower. I saw Toby standing on the table in the living room, looking at him with an urgent gaze, or to be precise, staring at the Echo Flower, for fear that he would break the Echo Flower.

But for now, it seems that nothing has changed in Echo Flower.

"Chi chi chi chi—" Toby shouted several times to Angel.

Angel, who had reached level 10 of Birdsong, knew that Toby was urging him to ask where the surprise was.

Angel smiled mysteriously, then placed the Echo Flower on the table and motioned Toby to step on the exposed roots of the Echo Flower.

Echo Flower is essentially a sonic alchemical material, but it has always been used by Toby as a recording tool.

Toby tilted his head and squinted at Angel. At Angel's urging, he put his paws on the roots of the Echo Flower with some suspicion.

When the roots were stepped on, the lavender trumpet petals of the Echo Flower moved——

Immediately afterwards, a melodious note came from the petals.

The interweaving of various musical instruments is not complicated, bringing a soothing rhythm. Among them, the string music is particularly prominent, like a faint hum, which instantly captures all the senses.

This was Angel's second time listening to this song, but he still felt a tingling sensation of joy.

This is the city in the sky.

The music of another civilization.

But it has the same appealing appeal.

The sound frequency range that Echo Flower can record is extremely high, and even complex scales are perfectly presented.

This city in the sky, under the perfect recording of Echo Flower, echoes with the intoxicating magic of music.

Toby was almost stunned. The quartet of bird calls that it had always been proud of was like a pile of dust and mustard in comparison to the city in the sky, and could not be compared at all.

Toby thought his former quartet was music.

But only then did he realize that music actually has ups and downs, music has emotions, and music allows you to follow the performer's intention and see what he wants to express.

When the curtain fell on the Sky City, Toby almost immediately took out his claws again and pressed against the roots of the Echo Flower.

But the Echo Flower is a plant after all, not a controllable brain. Although it can record, it can only record the previous time. After playing, the audio will be automatically deleted.

Therefore, Toby pressed the button for a long time, but there was still no sound.

"Jigu?" Toby looked at Angel with pleading in his eyes.

Angel smiled at the corner of his mouth, deliberately ignoring Toby's prayer, and said with a smile: "This song is called Castle in the Sky. It's my apology for the prank just now. How, it's very sincere!"

Toby chirped anxiously, wanting Angel to play it again.

Angel took Qiao for a long time, and then, with Toby's pleading look, he said: "Let's do this, you give me two echo flowers, and I will try to help you make a music box. However, my production fee is not high. Cheap."

Toby looked at Angel with a look of grievance: It has no money.

"I won't charge you any money either, you just need to promise me one thing."
