Section 3511 Selecting the Target
Frightened by the phantom clone, Edward lowered his head and dared not look in her direction any more.
He did not expect that the translucent girl opposite him could release such a terrifying aura... It was even more terrifying than facing a giant beast in the void.
But then again...
The phantom clone's full hair can not only shape, but also emit energy autonomously, which means that it has strong energy conductivity. In Edward's opinion, this is definitely the best and most superior hair.
If he can use such hair to make a wig, the chance of obtaining special effects will also increase.
Unfortunately, he probably can't get it.
Edward sighed silently in his heart.
On the other side, the phantom clone sneered, took down the void throne woven with hair, and sat on the tea table again.
As if nothing happened.
She didn't know what Edward was thinking, so she was still calm. If she could hear Edward's inner voice, Edward would probably not be in Yinsen Space at this time...
Angel, through emotional perception, guessed some of Edward's thoughts from the silent Edward with his head down.
Angel couldn't help but reveal a strange look in his eyes. This guy is really brave and dares to think!
Not to mention Edward, Angel didn't dare to make such an opinion casually. It was not only very rude, but also completely an overstepping of power to the phantom clone and Laplace.
Angel shook his head and stopped thinking about it, so as not to be seen by Laplace.
He quickly changed the subject: "Since the phantom clone and Laplace don't want wigs, what about you?"
Angel glanced at Gleipnir, Luigi and...Butler Fan.
Gleipnir said calmly: "If he can make a wig that can enhance the power of the starry sky, I am willing to cooperate."
Angel looked at Edward, who quickly shook his head: "This, this I may not be able to do for the time being. I don't know anything about the power of the starry sky..."
"Just temporarily unable to do it?" Gleipnir keenly caught the key words.
Although Edward refused, his words were obviously not final.
Edward hesitated for a moment and nodded: "If I can get in touch with more types of starry sky power in the future, such as the astrology of adults, the summoning of the star spirit wizard, the star syrup brewing of Bubble... and even the breath of the star spirit, I may be able to channel the enhancement effect of the starry sky power through my hair."
Edward said this to prove his own value, and also to click on "Bubble", suggesting that Gleipnir go to save Bubble in the future.
Although Edward had a little trick, what he said was not a lie.
As long as he was exposed to more types of starry sky power, he might be able to make related wigs. Of course, the premise is that there are extraordinary materials with the power of the starry sky.
Gleipnir also heard Edward's hidden meaning, but she didn't respond, just nodded to show that she heard it.
In fact, she would definitely find a way to save Bubble without Edward repeatedly mentioning it.
However, since Edward said so, she has one more reason to save Bubble.
After Gleipnir finished speaking, Angel's eyes fell on Luigi.
Luigi first touched his hair, then stroked his chin, thought carefully, and said: "I actually want to change to a wig as artistic and poetic as Morotra and Chugibiri, but not now. I will go back to the Unfallen King City later and bring you the portraits of these two art predecessors. You can help me plan and research a wig for me at that time."
Luigi said a long list, in which he also mentioned two artists that no one had heard of, but what he actually wanted to express was almost the same as Angel's idea.
The wig Edward is making now is not as good as the design that is planned first, then searched for information, and finally finalized because it is a temporary one.
So, Luigi wants a wig, but not the hastily made one now.
Finally, his eyes fell on Butler Fan.
Butler Fan also refused, and his reason was: "I don't need a wig."
As for why he didn't need it, Angel didn't dare to ask.
Now, everyone at the tea table refused the wig, which made the atmosphere slightly silent and awkward.
After a few seconds, Luigi took the lead in breaking the silence and gave a suggestion: "How about designing one at random first?"
Edward didn't care about it and was about to agree; but Angel said first: "A design without purpose, I don't think there will be any surprises."
Just like an alchemist, if there is no complete design blueprint, no final idea, and completely purposeless alchemy, then either some weird and useless things will appear, or it will explode directly.
Similarly, Angell thought that if Edward was asked to design a wig without a purpose, even if it was made, it would be difficult to achieve special effects.
There would be no miracles, no surprises.
Therefore, it is better to have a design goal.
Luigi understood what Angell meant, and he thought about it: "How about designing a wig for someone who is not present?"
It is impossible for someone who is not present to refuse.
This is indeed a compromise, but Angell thought about it and shook his head: "How about this, you design a wig for it."
"It?" Edward looked up.
Angell, who was opposite, waved his hand lightly, and a cage appeared next to the full material on the table.
There is a fat little hamster in the cage.
This little hamster with milky white hair is half-deep in the pool full of colorful balls, "digging the soil", no, "digging balls".
Speaking of the colorful ball pool. Although this cage is small, it has everything. It not only has a basic kitchen, bedroom, and hall, but also places for entertainment: "rotating pronunciation broom", "colorful light dance floor", "colorful ball pool", "music roller"... and so on.
However, these entertainment facilities, as well as the various rooms in the cage, are flowing with some kind of changing energy, which seems to be not real, but created by illusion.
Because of the isolation of illusion, although everyone can see the little hamster in the cage at this time, the hamster did not find that the environment outside the cage has changed.
It is still immersed in its own world of digging soil.
"Is this... Nakbi?" Luigi leaned over and observed carefully for a moment: "This guy still looks so stupid."
"I don't know what Naksu likes about it." Luigi sighed and shook his head.
Angel ignored Luigi and looked at Edward: "This is Nakbi, a...lively hamster."
"You said before that Bubble's appearance is a jellyfish, and you can even make wigs for jellyfish. I believe that making a wig for it should be possible, right?"
Although Edward could make wigs for people who were not here, Angel thought about it and decided to make the best use of it.
If they don't want wigs, then change to someone who wants one. Or, in other words, someone who can't refuse a wig.
Nakbi is a good example.
With its IQ, it can't refuse a wig, and even if it doesn't like it, Angel can force it to be put on.
If there is a special effect, Nakbi is lucky; if there is no effect, then it is considered a "new skin" for Nakbi.
I believe Naxu will not have any objections after knowing it.
Edward looked at the hamster in the cage. In his opinion, this is just an ordinary hamster, and there is nothing special about it, but it is probably because it is covered by illusion.
Angell would name him so solemnly, and even specially ask someone to customize such a beautiful cage.
This is probably... the so-called pet, right?
Edward didn't think much about it. There are many people who like to raise hamsters. Although wizards raise hamsters, they usually treat them as experimental mice, but it is normal for some people to have feelings for them.
"It's okay to make a wig for it." Edward thought for a while: "But if I can mix some of its original hair into the hair I make, it can make the wig more suitable for it."
Edward's euphemistic request, Angell could naturally hear it. It is estimated that Edward regards Nakbi as his favorite, so he is so euphemistic when he wants some hair.
"Hair? Sure." Angell snapped his fingers directly, and some of the mouse hair that fell on the ground in the cage flew out.
It's not a lot, only about a few dozen.
Angel thought for a moment, and summoned invisible mini magic hands around Nakbi, gently touching Nakbi's fur.
Before Nakbi even felt anything unusual, a lot of mouse hair was plucked off.
"Is this enough?" Angel gathered all the mouse hair in his hands.
Edward looked at the large patch of baldness on Nakbi's back and nodded silently: "Enough, I originally said to find some of the same type of rodent hair to make hair, but now I can make a wig with its original hair."
Although the wig made may be a little sparse, because all the raw materials come from Nakbi, it will make the wig more suitable for it. It may not even be necessary to make a fake skin, so that the wig can fit its scalp better, stable and firm.
Edward: "I wonder if you have any requirements for the style of the wig? If there is an effect, what direction do you hope for?"
Angel thought for a while: "As for the style, there is no demand. There is no effect... either. However, try to make it look good."
Edward nodded: "Make it cute, I understand."
This is something Edward is very good at. When he opened a makeup and hair salon, almost all the customers who came to consume were to make themselves look better and more beautiful.
And Nakbi, if you want to look good, it is definitely better to make it cute.
If it is cute, then you can choose some magic plants and weave some flower vine bows on the made wig.
Thinking of this, Edward looked at the magic plants.
In a few seconds, he chose a calla lily and a wood spider silk. These two magic plants are both very common low-level magic plants.
Although the effect is not very prominent among the magic plants, the appearance is very good. Especially the calla lily, with its jade-like texture and large white and pink petals, is very suitable for making bows.
The wood spider silk is also pure white. It can be woven and combined with hair to be used as a bow tie.
However, the magic plant is only a supplementary material.
The real main material is the third type of material, that is, energy materials.
The so-called energy materials are completely composed of energy, such as some elemental materials, or some liquid and gaseous materials composed of pure energy molecules.
These energy materials are the easiest to incorporate into hair, and it is also relatively easy for Edward to channel these energies.
So he locked on it at the beginning, and the main material was selected from energy materials.
There were not many energy materials on the table, and they were all low-level, but the rarity of some materials surprised Edward.
For example, "Gan Leng Water" is a cooling material used for thermal potions that need to run continuously at high temperatures. Although it is a low-level material, it is irreplaceable like Bai Leng Water, and it is not produced in the South Region itself, so it needs to be purchased in some surrounding worlds. Around the South Region, only the Tanghuang Plane can produce "Gan Leng Water".
In the Tanghuang Plane, Gan Leng Water is not expensive, but in the South Region, its value will be several times or even dozens of times.
There is also "Cui Yan", which is a fire element material that generally only appears in places where a large number of fire elements are born. There are very few such places in the South Region, and the value is also very high.
In addition to Gan Leng Water and Cui Yan, there are several other energy materials, all of which are similar. Either it is difficult to obtain, or it requires specific conditions to obtain.
Edward even saw a bottle with a label that said "Alchemy Water".
Edward was not unfamiliar with this water, or rather, all the wizards in the Southern Region were familiar with it.
This was the alchemical water created by Ashlie Academy, a universal catalyst for pharmacy. It was not visible to the outside world, and only people from Ashlie Academy could get a little of it.
Does Angell's ability to display the "Alchemy Water" mean that he actually came from Ashlie Academy?
If he was a student of Ashlie Academy, then he would be an alchemist?
Edward thought of this and glanced at Angell secretly.
Angell happened to be looking at him, and their eyes met.
Edward was a little embarrassed and subconsciously lowered his head. Angell looked confused: "What's wrong?"
Edward: "Nothing..."
After a pause, Edward suddenly thought of something, picked up the Alchemy Water, and said to Angell: "Can I use it to make wig materials?"
Use energy catalysts to make wigs? Although Angel was a little puzzled, he still nodded: "Okay."
After the voice fell, Angel found that Edward's expression became more and more strange.
Just when he was puzzled, Edward whispered: "This... Alchemy Water is a special material of Ashlie Academy. Outsiders cannot use it at will without application. Can you authorize me to use it?"
Hearing Edward's question, Angel immediately realized that he wanted to test his identity.
According to Edward, it is estimated that only people with authority in Ashlie Academy, such as the student union, or teachers or professors, can authorize the use of Alchemy Water. If he can authorize, he will confirm his identity as an alchemist.
Angel smiled and said: "This is indeed purchased from Ashlie Academy, but I haven't heard that anyone needs to apply for it."
"Not prohibited is allowed."
"So, you can use it with confidence."
Angel's words made Edward a little puzzled.
Is his guess wrong? In the past eight hundred years, the rules of Ashlie Academy have changed?
Edward was too embarrassed to continue asking, so he nodded: "Then I'll choose this one."
