Main Text Volume Chapter 431: Fear
In the clear blue sky, surrounded by mist, an exquisite and dreamy boat is coming slowly and carelessly from the end of the clouds.
With the sky as the sea, the bottom of the boat is floating with ripples similar to the water waves when the boat is sailing on the sea, and even white foam can be seen. It looks leisurely, but the speed of the boat is far beyond people's imagination. The previous moment, you can see the mountains under your feet, and the next moment, there is an endless grassland.
The two ends of the boat are tilted, like a crescent moon.
There are carvings of the sun, moon, and stars at the head and tail, and the translucent starry sky gauze curtain covering the "moon" is floating in the wind, which looks even more dreamy.
There are four people sitting in the boat, three men and one woman. One of them is a man with a simple face, sleeping in the small compartment behind the boat, and the other three are all in the vestibule area.
One of the handsome men is lying on the central machine table in frustration, with a heartbroken face and lamenting.
"You have your own flying vehicle, why do you have to use my gondola?" Angel was sitting on a recliner, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep. But he could hear Shadow sighing constantly in his ears. He could have endured it for a while, but he had been sighing for a long time, and he finally couldn't help but speak.
Shadow looked at Angel pitifully: "I'm like this, and you still want to see me make a fool of myself. And your flying boat..."
"Gondola." Angel corrected.
"Okay, and your gondola is quite big, and the speed is faster than my war horse cape. Anyway, you can drive it alone or with two people, so it doesn't matter if I add one more." Shadow said, and touched the exquisite patterns on the wall of the gondola, and then looked at the dreamy starry sky yarn covering the entire boat, with envy and jealousy in his eyes. Such a cool and cool flying vehicle, and its speed is almost reaching the middle level, it is estimated that it will cost several thousand magic crystals to buy it at the auction. But Angel actually made it casually, what a hateful alchemist!
Angel rolled his eyes. What about a war rider cape? A lady's cape is more like that.
Angel didn't care about the extra person and puppet on the boat. As Shadow said, it didn't matter if he rode alone or with four people. They consumed the same amount of magic crystals. It really didn't matter if he carried more people.
"It's okay to carry you, but can't you sigh less? It's just returning the shadow. What's so sad about it?" Angel said helplessly.
The reason why Shadow kept sighing was that he was forced to return the more than 100 shadows he had collected in Waterglass in the past few years.
The story started yesterday. The news that he and Shadow returned to Waterglass together soon reached Leonrick's ears.
Thinking of his daughter's increasing weakness and his wife's tears every night, Leonrick wrote a suicide note after a long consideration. Then, holding the last hope and with the determination that he might die, he visited Angel's villa in the Bay Area alone late at night.
At the right time, because he thought about leaving Waterglass the next day, Angel canceled the illusion outside the villa. Leonrick knocked on the door, and it happened to be Grandma Du Shan who opened it. With Angel's tacit consent, he finally succeeded in entering the room and talking to Shadow face to face.
Leonrick knelt in front of Shadow, hoping that Shadow could return the shadow to the people and his daughter.
Shadow sneered at this, how could he agree to him? Angel did not help.
However, Shadow really agreed in the end. The reason is... Naga got jealous after learning the truth!
Once Naga got jealous, Shadow really had no choice. Comparing the value of Naga and mortal shadows, Shadow finally had no choice but to return his shadow collection to Leonrick.
Because of this incident, Leonrick had been crying for a whole day.
"That's my collection over the past few years!" Shadow cried and howled, and in the end even the three brothers Jami came out to comfort him.
She was sighing before, but now she is crying? Angel glanced at Naga who was opposite Shadow, and she also rolled her eyes, but because Shadow was her master, she couldn't do anything. Besides, she was the cause of the incident, so Naga could only hold back her anger.
Naga saw Angel looking at her, her eyes lit up, and she gestured to him: Sew his mouth!
Angel had wanted to do something to Shadow a long time ago, but because Naga was here, he didn't dare to act rashly. But since Naga was already instigating, he grinned an evil smile and gently tapped Shadow.
The breath with the effect of nightmare fell into Shadow's eyebrows.
Shadow was not on guard next to Angel, and unexpectedly, he was really hit.
Shadow turned around in surprise, "Ah" for a long time, but found that only his mouth was open, but he couldn't say a word. He pointed at Angel, as if "you betrayed me".
Angel was calm and indifferent.
Shadow turned his head and looked at Naga pitifully, hoping that Naga would help him untie it. But Naga "misunderstood" his meaning, and held him in her arms, holding him tightly so that he could not move.
Finally quiet!
Angel gave Naga a thumbs up, and then closed his eyes in satisfaction and pretended to sleep.
Although he said he was pretending to sleep, Angel was actually closing his eyes and recalling the notebook given to him by his mentor, which recorded almost all the tricks of the illusion department.
He had basically completed the basic tricks, so he focused on advanced illusions.
He still uses illusions too little. Although the illusions are well arranged, he is not good at attack-type illusions. And he will soon face the choice of department, which he is still a little confused about. These need to be judged slowly by learning illusion tricks.
Angel recalled all the records in the notebook in his mind, and his attention slowly focused on the level 1 trick "Fear".
"Fear" is a level 1 trick of the mind illusion system, which arouses the fear of others by manipulating desires.
In fact, Angel once used a similar effect on Tyrael, one of the two great doctors in Waterglass. However, he used the nightmare breath at that time to create the illusion of ghosts to scare him.
But fear is different from simply scare others.
Everyone has different standards for fear in their hearts. Some people are afraid of ghosts, some are afraid of beasts, and some are simply afraid of something, someone, or a certain environment in the past. In this case, if you want to really scare someone, you can't do it all with just one trick, until the birth of fear.
Angel watched for most of the day and basically had a concept of fear.
After watching the whole thing, Angel thought, ordinary fear can make people feel fear, so what if the nightmare illusion is used as Gideon? Will the fear become a physical entity?
Angel calculated and it seemed possible.
Thinking of this, Angel decided to temporarily list fear as the primary goal of learning.
Moreover, fear is a trick of mind illusion. Mind illusion is a branch under the framework of illusion. It is an illusion subject that combines desire, thought and emotion through the interpretation of human heart changes and details.
Angel just planned to learn a little trick of each branch of illusion, and then use it to determine his future illusion direction.
…
The night was just beginning, and the stars were dotted.
The gondola looked more ethereal and beautiful against the background of the starry night.
In the originally quiet cabin, a gurgling sound suddenly came from the small compartment at the back.
Angel opened his eyes.
At the same time, Shadow, who was sitting opposite him, opened his eyes and looked at Angel.
"Your little male pet seems to be hungry?" Shadow said with a smile.
Angel glanced at Shadow, and he didn't know when Shadow had unlocked the mute effect. He looked at the nightmare aura lingering between Naga's fingers and suddenly realized.
Angel ignored Shadow's joke and whispered "Dodolo". A low squeak came from the compartment behind him.
Angel turned over and walked into the compartment.
Dodolo saw Angel coming in, with a look of intimacy and joy on his face. Angel walked to sit opposite him and took out some food and water from his bracelet. Dodolo covered his stomach embarrassedly.
"Eat." At Angel's signal, Dodolo shyly picked up the food and ate slowly.
Angel held his cheek and looked at Dodolo. His eating movements were very elegant. It was not known whether it was because of Grandma Dushan's good teaching or because of his instinctive habits.
Angel remembered what Grandma Dushan said when he left last night: "After these days of teaching, Duoduoluo can roughly understand the basic terms. But... he seems to be a little too introverted."
"He can actually have a basic conversation with people, but as long as there are outsiders, he will hide in a shell and say nothing."
Angel didn't feel what Grandma Dushan said at first, because Duoduoluo was always very intimate and enthusiastic to him. But since he got on the gondola, Duoduoluo really did as she said, not saying a word. And he was very nervous, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
Angel had no choice but to put him alone in the compartment. This introverted and fearful personality, Angel could not do anything for the time being, and could only wait and see if it could be improved in the future.
When Duoduoluo filled his stomach, Angel suddenly remembered something: "Where is your..." bowl?
He asked halfway and stopped again. The shadow was still outside, and it was inappropriate for him to ask about the "bowl" rashly. And Angel could feel that the shadow seemed to be very interested in Pocrates' Axo.
Angel thought about it, and when Dodolo left, he seemed to have brought a cloth bag with some clothes to change, and the bag was thrown into the bracelet by him.
Angel probed his mental power into the bracelet and soon found Dodolo's cloth bag.
In the cloth bag, Angel saw the bowl.
Since the bowl was still there, he was relieved.
Just as he was about to get rid of his mental power from the bracelet, he suddenly saw that on the square of the building model on the other side, the Kulakuka people were busy planting vegetables, and some were enthusiastically transplanting the fruit tree seedlings sent by the Hummingbird Knight.
Everyone was busy with their future lives, and even a few children were watering the fields. Only Grandma Babaya was sitting on the steps of the building, with her cheese Manyue fruit buns next to her, and she would call people to come and eat from time to time.
Everyone understands that she can't work because of her inconvenient legs and feet. But Grandma Babaya feels guilty and can only do her best.
After everyone is busy, Grandma Babaya will call the children to her side, take a story book, and read to them slowly.
"Can you read?" Anger's voice came into Grandma Babaya's ears.
Grandma Babaya was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that no one around her responded, she realized that this was an adult talking to her.
"Yes, I can read." Grandma Babaya was a little embarrassed.
Angel thought about it. He didn't have time to teach Dodolo. He didn't know how long he would be on the road this time. If Dodolo became lazy because he didn't study for a long time, it would be bad.
Angel didn't intend to disturb the lives of the Kulakuka tribe, but since Grandma Babaya seemed to have nothing to do, he could take this opportunity to teach Dodolo.
He also hoped that Dodolo could open his heart through communication with Grandma Babaya.
Thinking of this, Angel said: "Well, I'll give you a task."
