Main Text Volume Chapter 359 Extraordinary Gathering
"I set up an illusion outside the house." After Angel entered the house, he sat on the sofa and said to Bal: "You can call it a demon illusion. It can evoke the things you fear most in your heart."
Bal shuddered. As he guessed, the terrifying ghosts outside were made by this adult... But is it really an illusion? Bal trembled all over. He had not forgotten the suffocation of being strangled by the ghosts. It was so real and painful. How could there be such a real illusion?
"Just now you said you entered the illusion, so how did you come back?" Angel asked curiously. Although the illusion outside was just a basic illusion, Angel added some of his own designs to the illusion nodes, such as covering the sense of space.
This ability to block people's five senses, affect people's emotions, and wantonly play the design in the illusion was discovered by Angel accidentally. With his use and the effect of nightmare illusion, this talent has become more and more powerful and skilled.
You know, even Mirror Ji praised it at the beginning, and Sanders also said that perhaps this ability will determine Angel's future talent direction in the illusion department.
In short, in this illusion that blocks the sense of space, how could Bal, a mere mortal, take the initiative to leave the illusion?
Bal said bluntly: "I was brought back by Mr. Dodolo."
Dodolo? Angel was stunned for a moment when he heard this name.
Dodolo's heart is pure, just like a newborn baby. All his emotions and memories are a blank sheet of paper. So he will not be affected in the illusion of the heart demon, which Angel can understand.
But why is even blocking the sense of direction ineffective for Dodolo? You know, this directly affects the vestibular organization of the brain!
If you are not a superhuman, you will definitely be affected. Even if you are a superhuman, you will get lost if you are not familiar with the structure of the brain or your energy level is not as high as his...
Angel suppressed his doubts and temporarily passed on this topic.
"Give me a personal ornament." Angel stretched out his hand and said to Bal.
Bal was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Angel meant, but his reaction speed was very fast, and he immediately began to feel around...
He originally wanted to take off the gold ring he was wearing, but he didn't know if Angel would like such a vulgar thing. Later, he thought about it and took out a delicate little box from his pocket.
Angel opened it and saw a light pink rose earring in the box.
Coincidentally, when Bal came here in the morning, he took such an earring and planned to give it to his little lover. But since the wizard wanted jewelry, he was embarrassed to take out the gold ring, so he simply took out the earring.
"Are you sure you want to give me this?" Angel looked at the rose earring full of pink girlish heart in his palm, showing a strange expression.
Baer nodded fiercely: "This is the Rose Story series made by the famous Baati jewelry master. It is a rare collection and is given to you!"
Angel did not comment, "I don't need it, this is for you."
While speaking, Angel infused magic into the rose earring and arranged a microscopic illusion node in the earring.
"For me?"
Angel smiled and handed the rose earring back to Bal: "With it, you won't be in the center of the magic world when you come to my place in the future. You still have to protect Du Shan and Duo Du Luo tomorrow, put it on quickly."
Bal was struck by lightning... Why was it for him? Why didn't you say it earlier!
"I thought it was..."
Angel: "I didn't think so. I just didn't expect that your hobby is so special."
"Can I just put it in my bag? Look, sir, don't I have ear holes?" Bal cried, why did he commit suicide! If he had known this, he would have taken off the ring!
"It must be placed outside, it will be useless if it is blocked by the illusion node." Angel didn't give him this opportunity, and picked up the rose earring with his magic hand and forced Bal to wear it on his left ear. A drop of blood fell, infecting the pink rose pattern, making it more beautiful.
"It suits you well, you can go now." Angel said with a smile: "It's better not to take it off before I leave Waterglass. Also, don't forget to discuss with Du Shan, come pick me up on time tomorrow~"
Bal nodded, holding back the grievance in his heart. Finally, he covered his ears and left the villa with a frustrated look.
Looking at Bal's figure going away, Du Shan asked in confusion: "Sir, what's wrong with his ears?"
Angel smiled and said: "Maybe he is too happy."
"Happy? What do you mean?" Du Shan's head was full of question marks. Didn't he just say a few words in the living room? How come he was happy after coming out?
"See your true nature and be yourself. Isn't it something worth being happy about?" After Angel finished speaking, he turned back to the house. Du Shan was left with a thoughtful look on her face, muttering... Be yourself?
...
It was night. The whole city was asleep.
Angel came to Duoduoluo's room. Duoduoluo curled up and slept like a shrimp.
Angel didn't wake up Duoduoluo, but built an illusion based on this room.
The content of the illusion was actually very simple, just a cloud of fog. However, Angel covered Duoduoluo's sense of space, making him lose his grasp of distance and direction.
Angel stood outside the door and used his magic hand to wake Duoduoluo up.
Duoduoluo got up from the bed with a confused look on his face, turned his head in confusion, and looked at the fog around him... Then he lay back on the bed without hesitation, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.
Angel: "..."
Angel woke Duoduoluo up again, but this time when Duoduoluo was about to lie down, he whispered: "Duduoluo, come out."
Hearing Angel's voice, Duoduoluo's ears stood up, and his misty eyes became clearer. Then he climbed out of bed and walked towards the door without hesitation. After pushing the door open, he saw Angel outside the door. His eyes lit up and he smiled at Angel.
Angel: "..."
The hint he gave Duoduoluo didn't work. Why?
Angel thought about it and smiled back at Duoduoluo. Then, Duoduoluo felt his eyes blurred, and found that Angel in front of him had turned into a four-eared clouded leopard and pounced on him.
Fear flashed in Duoduoluo's eyes, and then he turned sideways to avoid the attack of the clouded leopard.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes blurred again. The clouded leopard disappeared, and Angel stood in front of him again.
Angel smiled and said, "Go to bed, good night."
Then he turned and left.
Duoduo Luo looked confused, but he said nothing and went back to bed to continue sleeping.
After Angel returned to the house, he sat at the table and thought to himself: "Just like the test in the hunter's cabin, the illusion can cover his eyes. But why can't it affect his judgment of space?"
Is there any reason for this? Could it be that after being soaked in Axo's blood for a thousand years, his energy level has surpassed him? But this doesn't make sense. If the energy level is higher than him, why can the illusion cover his eyes? Angel thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
Forget it. There are too many mysteries about Duoduo Luo. The millennium immortality has not been solved yet. Why worry about these details.
Angel finally gave up thinking and continued to study healing.
Healing requires a basic understanding of the human body, which Angel has no problem with. He started to learn the theories of Chinese and Western medicine when he was a child. Although his strength may not be very high, the basic things are very solid.
While studying the healing technique, time flew slowly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the extraordinary gathering.
These days, Leonrick had not come to him, probably because he was frightened by Angel's words "face the wizard who can destroy Waterglass". On one side is his daughter's life, and on the other side is the people of the city, and even if he angered the wizard, he might not be able to find his daughter's shadow, it was indeed a difficult decision.
Angel didn't care. The reason why he went to Leonrick that day was because the appearance of "Shadow" made him a little curious about what Kurakuka meant. As for helping Leonrick to save those who lost their shadows, he had no such plan.
He couldn't even figure out his own way forward, so how could he have the time to care about others?
Compared with the "Kurakuka Tribe", he actually wanted to know more about "Pocrates". Why did a plane channel appear there, and why did the colorful dragonfly build a nest there and not leave for thousands of years? Also, why didn't Axor, a wizard-level monster, leave?
However, even if he didn't get any news, Angel didn't care. Because these two things, in fact, can be summed up, are his "curiosity", one is more curious, and the other is less curious. Moreover, these two things don't have any benefits that can be seen by the eyes at present.
He is not an apprentice who has been stuck in a bottleneck for decades and needs to rely on chance to fight for a way out.
Therefore, he is not really concerned about these two things. It doesn't matter whether he can get news or not.
The first thing that really matters to him now is to find a way back, either to return to the Savage Cave or to the Sky Mechanical City.
Everything depends on today's party.
If there is still no answer, he can only be prepared to continue wandering.
The time of the party is late at night, and Angel has to make some preparations before that. It's not preparation for battle, but he is going to make a list.
He needs to buy or exchange some materials from others at this party. Because he wants to make a vehicle for transportation.
Regardless of whether he could find out the way forward at this gathering, he would have to leave. Since he was leaving, he could not continue to measure the distance with his feet, so making a vehicle was necessary.
He had also studied the making of vehicles while he was concentrating on magic these days. In the "Basic Collection of Primary Alchemy" he recorded, there were manuscripts on the making of primary vehicles.
The main core of making vehicles is actually the power device. Angel did not intend to create something original, so the power device was just refined step by step. Angel searched the book for a long time and finally found a power device that he could refine at present and had enough materials.
However, the core problem was solved. Non-core but necessary problems were what Angel was most worried about.
A vehicle for transportation could not just be a power device, but also a shell that could carry the power device.
And most of these shells were made of non-grade materials... Angel had a lot of precious materials, but the non-grade consumable materials were the least.
Angel thought, although most of the wizard apprentices in this gathering are unskilled, they should be able to take out some of these low-level materials, right?
