Main Text Volume Chapter 251 Journey to the Sky

The melodious prelude of "Castle in the Sky" sounded slowly, followed by the peaceful aura of the quiet magic pattern.

When the beautiful and soothing music sounded, Jingji's brows made of white mist relaxed slightly. As long as it was not the harsh sound of metal collision, she would leave this music box.

"The prelude is not bad." Jingji smiled slightly, feeling the peaceful and tranquil aura, and the dirty power in her heart was suppressed at this moment.

Just as Jingji was about to enjoy this feast of music, water ripples suddenly appeared in the space around her.

Jingji was shocked: "Wanyin illusion?"

Along with the water ripples, it was a long journey of playing with white clouds and chasing the end of the sky.

When Jingji saw this wonderful illusion, she was affected by the aura of the quiet magic pattern. The inexplicable sense of security made her completely relax and start a dream game with clouds, blue sky, flying birds, vast land, and endless grassland.

Music and illusion, both of them are top-notch when viewed separately. Music is a masterpiece, and illusion is a flawless journey.

When the two are combined, there is no sense of disharmony, but countless wonderful reactions are added, which makes people addicted and indulged.

Undoubtedly, this is a wonderful combination and a perfect match.

Because in her mind, in the journey of music illusion, there are no other distractions, only pure and incomparable mood, and indescribable comfort.

In the long journey of Jingji's life, there is a rare moment to feel such leisure and comfort.

Jingji fully enjoyed this spiritual walk. She thought that clouds and blue sky were the limit, but at the end of the music, Ingres presented her with a more sincere surprise.

It was a floating island hidden behind the dark clouds, and it took a thrilling adventure to clear the fog and see it.

Just a glimpse, the huge and magnificent island was taken into Jingji's eyes.

The primitive breath of the dense rainforest blends harmoniously with the reinforced concrete urban buildings.

But Jingji is a little regretful that time seems to have solidified this island. Every building in the city on the floating island is covered with thick moss. Only by relying on the mottled traces can we see how prosperous this sky city used to be.

However, this regret, combined with the music of "Castle in the Sky", seems to be a kind of confession.

This confession based on music has turned into a heavy trace of history in front of us. It seems that there is an outsider who whispers in Jingji's ears with his music, telling the past of this floating island.

In Jingji's eyes, accompanied by gentle whispers, it seems that you can see the buildings on the island rising from the ground countless years ago, people dancing around the bonfire with singing and laughter, and the shy beautiful girl and the optimistic handsome boy holding hands for the first time at this moment...

This is an island where even a scratch, a stone tablet, or a mound can make people imagine a moving story.

Jing Ji only felt a slight soreness in her eyes. It was an emotion she had never experienced before, but it was drawn out by this deserted island.

As the music ended, the clouds and mist covered the island again. It was as if the music was the password to open it, and when the music ended, it would be frozen by time again.

The water ripples reappeared, and the illusion slowly disappeared.

But Jing Ji did not move for a long time, and it seemed that she could still see the island that was silent behind time.

I don’t know how long it took, Jing Ji breathed a long sigh of relief.

“It’s really amazing. It’s obviously an uninhabited ruined island. There are more beautiful floating islands and more magnificent buildings in the mirror world, but only this island has aroused my long-dormant emotions.” Jing Ji sighed in a low voice.

Angel didn’t know what story Jing Ji had imagined when she saw the island, but he could understand this emotion.

“Perhaps, this is the power of music.” Angel said softly.

Jing Ji smiled faintly: “This is not only the power of music, but perhaps, it is also what the author of this music wants to say.”

The author of the music? Angel was startled. He had never noticed who the original author of this music was. But Angel was also quite touched by what Mirror Ji said, because the illusion he created was a picture that appeared in the dream while listening to music, and "Castle in the Sky" was the medium of the dream. The composer created this music, and the music wove this dream.

"What is the name of this music?" Mirror Ji asked curiously.

"Castle in the Sky." Angel said.

"What a dreamy name." Mirror Ji took a sip of tea, and then said to Angel: "This gift is the best gift I have received in the past thousand years. I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise."

Angel smiled: "Compared to the adults saving my life, this gift will only seem insignificant."

Mirror Ji smiled and said: "Compared to your life, it is indeed insignificant."

Mirror Ji's words made Angel stunned. Although what he said just now was true, it was actually more of self-deprecation... Sure enough, the "humility" taught to him by mentor Jon does not work in the wizarding world.

"So, if you want to make up for my saving your life, you have to give me another surprise." Jing Ji said half-truthfully.

"Another surprise?" Although Angel's eyes were strange, his expression was not hesitant: "No problem, it's my honor."

When Angel agreed to Jing Ji, his mind immediately turned, what kind of surprise should he give Jing Ji? Or, change the music?

Angel agreed without hesitation, which made Jing Ji look at Angel with suspicion. ——You’re young, but you’re very smart!

In fact, when she saved Angel, she never thought about asking him to repay the favor, and she didn't take it to heart at all.

But she was very satisfied with this gift from Angel, which allowed her to see the glory of Angel. Especially when he thought that Angel was so accomplished in illusions and knew how to enchant and alchemy, he couldn't help but engage in a little blackmail.

"As for what surprise I want, I'll tell you later. Now let's talk about something else. I have a few questions about this music box. Can you answer them for me?"

Angel nodded: "No problem."

"Does this music box have a name?" Jing Ji picked up the music box that can be called a work of art and asked Angel.

Angel: "I didn't give it a name. Why don't you give it a name?"

Jing Ji was silent for a moment: "Let's call it 'Journey to the Sky'. Roaming in the sky, accompanied by music, I like this journey very much."

Angel nodded noncommittally.

"The magic pattern of tranquility, the city in the sky and the illusion of sound. The three are very harmonious. The magic pattern of tranquility creates a state of mind, the city in the sky soothes the impetuous spirit, and the illusion of sound leads to a wandering mind. Each element requires profound attainments and Not only did you achieve control, but you also perfectly combined them, which is really an enviable talent." Jing Ji was very satisfied with Cangqiong Journey and did not hesitate to praise it.

Even if this is just a very low-level alchemical work, for a mortal with a long life, pursuing the truth is certainly a lifelong duty, but if there is a glorious embellishment on this long and lonely journey, it will be even more good.

For Mirror Princess, the journey to the sky is the embellishment of this sparkling light, and it is a spiritual enjoyment.

"As long as you are satisfied, sir." Angel smiled, and the anxiety before taking out the gift completely relaxed at this moment.

"Let's put aside the Silent Demon Pattern and the City in the Sky for now. What I'm curious about is, how did you achieve this illusion you built?" What Jing Ji is most curious about is the floating island. It gave her too much shock.

"I selected these places as nodes, and then when the music played..." Angel just started to explain the nodes of the illusion, but was interrupted by Mirror Princess.

"What I'm asking about is the strange feeling in the illusion...the sense of reality. In fact, most illusion wizards can achieve it. What I want to say is not just the sense of reality, but the kind that can directly touch the heart and even evoke emotions." That feeling that I had been feeling dormant for so many years.”

Mirror Girl's description made Angel confused. He was built according to the dream, what other feelings are there?

Seeing Angel's expression, Jing Ji understood that it was difficult to answer this question, but Jing Ji couldn't help but continue to ask: "What were you thinking about when you constructed the illusion?"

This intriguing fantasy made Jing Ji very concerned. The longer a wizard lives, the weaker his emotions become. She herself had forgotten, how long had it been since she felt this way?

"What did I think of? I saw the changes in the clouds and mist at the beginning of the illusion with my own eyes. I stayed on the Cloud Whale for a long time. When I had nothing to do, I liked to look at the sky and the clouds. Based on my memory at the time, I constructed "The first half of the illusion." Angel said.

"What about the second half? The floating island and everything on the island." Jing Ji couldn't wait to ask. She was so curious about the island. Every trace on the island had a profound meaning. She even felt, Even a rotten fallen leaf or a broken tree pillar has a story.

"When I built this floating island, what came to mind was..." Angel recalled for a moment.

"It's Naraku City." In addition, there is everything in the nightmare world. When Angel was describing a ruined bonfire on the island, he even thought of a pair of tragic figures in the nightmare world named Augu. Sting's unrequited love, and a beautiful girl named Margaret.

Of course, in addition to the nightmare world, when Angel built the floating island, he was still thinking about the metropolis in the earth's film and television works.

Whether it was the Nightmare Realm or the Earth City, Angel knew where to start and could only talk about "Naraku City" in general.

"Naruo City? I seem to have heard of this name." Jing Ji thought for a moment: "You mean the garden maze? The ruins?"

"Yes." Angel nodded.

A glint flashed in Jing Ji's eyes: "Have you been to Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm?"

Angel suddenly raised his head and looked at Jing Ji in surprise.

Seeing Angel's expression, Jing Ji knew that her guess was correct, so she smiled and said, "Sanders took you there, right?"

"How do you know, sir?"

Jing Ji smiled secretly: "Because, Flora often comes to my place to drink tea~ The little red behind her was obtained from Naraku City."

"No wonder the floating island you built has a feeling of time being frozen. Isn't this the characteristic of the nightmare world?" Jing Ji suddenly realized: "However, you can express the characteristics of the nightmare world, and even more A lot of unknown emotions are substituted into the illusion, which is a bit strange. Maybe it's the characteristic of your illusion department. If the old man is here, you can ask him, but it's a pity that the old guy doesn't leave the cloud library at all. "

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to pursue it." Jing Ji waved her hand, took a sip of her morning tea, then lowered her voice slightly and said to Angel mysteriously: "Now let's talk about the surprise I want~ ~"
