Chapter 588 New Ideas
Angel returned to the Source of Flow.
Although he had moved to the Magic Island, Graya would arrive at the Savage Cave in the next two days. In order to refine the illusion before she arrived, he needed a more comprehensive alchemy laboratory.
The alchemy facilities on the Magic Island were much worse than the alchemy laboratory in the Source of Flow.
Therefore, Angel had just left the Magic Island and came to the Source of Flow.
During the two days in the Source of Flow, Angel spent most of his time not on alchemy...
but watching movies.
For other alchemists, integrating illusions into alchemy may require many steps, and the final effect may not be satisfactory. But for Angel, who is an illusionist himself, this is not a difficult task.
The difficulty for Angel is: what illusion to construct?
At the beginning, when Angel left the Black Castle, he refined a feather earring with a "real touch illusion" according to Graya's request.
This feather earring was created by Graya when she wanted to have something to express her thoughts when she missed Toby.
Therefore, when Angel constructed the illusion, he mainly wanted to highlight Toby, so he used Toby as a clue in the illusion, changed the perspective of their experience of arriving at Dusk Harbor Town from the Devil's Sea, added some exaggerated expressions, and then integrated some nightmare characteristics, and finally constructed that illusion.
But this time, the illusion he constructed did not have a theme, which made him embarrassed.
Before leaving the Sky Mechanical City, Angel had gone to Graya and asked her what she wanted. The answer he got was two very empty concepts: integrating into the atmosphere of the nightmare world, and it would be better to have some novelty.
Integrating into the atmosphere of the nightmare world is Angel's exclusive method of refining illusions. It is estimated that he is the only one in the entire southern alchemy world. This is not difficult for him to do.
But the second point, what novelty does Graya want? Angel is a little unsure.
He already doesn't know what illusion to construct, and now he still wants novelty. Angel scratched his head and thought hard for a long time, but his head was still full of question marks.
Angel even felt that it was not as good as the requirements given by Lady Mirror Ji: vulgarity and texture.
It would be fine if he didn't think about it, but when he thought about Lady Mirror Ji's refining an illusion, Angel felt a headache.
Fortunately, Lady Mirror Ji didn't urge him, so he should solve Greya's illusion first.
When Angel didn't know what illusion to build, he naturally thought of the holographic tablet. Although the holographic tablet records the civilization of the earth, it is also a brilliant civilization, and the entertainment culture is much richer than that of the wizarding world.
Even if there is no extraordinary culture, the dream of the earthlings for the extraordinary has never faded. Therefore, even if there is no extraordinary thing in reality, there are many movies and novels, and what can be included in the holographic tablet by Jon is naturally the top work of the earth civilization.
When there is a lack of novelty, Angel decided to open the holographic tablet to see how the earthlings imagine the extraordinary civilization in order to open up his mind.
After watching one movie after another, Angell started watching with a judgment and thinking perspective, but later he completely integrated into the world of the movie.
Each movie constructs a world.
Even the same world hides different worldviews.
This is the advantage of Earth civilization. They live in a world without supernatural powers, so their fantasies about supernatural powers will be more open and flourishing.
Moreover, according to the different places and different progress of civilization, different supernatural views have been developed in the East and the West.
This makes people who are already in supernatural civilization feel refreshed.
However, after watching about 20 movies, Angell found that most of the supernaturals in the movies he saw could not escape the shadow of religious myths. If you build a fantasy according to the movie, you will probably be sneered by Greya.
After all, every wizard is a wise man. They see everything very clearly, unlike ordinary people. The initial birth of religion may be due to the awe of the unknown. For example, primitive people fear heaven and earth, nature, and thunder and lightning. Without knowing the reason, they will develop a kind of awe.
And this kind of awe, when used by people with ulterior motives, became the initial budding religion.
But with the development of religion, most religions have become a means for superiors to govern the people. As for whether to keep the people safe or to make them chaotic, it all depends on the intention of the manipulator.
Greya is very clear about these principles, so it is impossible for Angel to construct an illusion with religious shadows.
Although he cannot copy the world in the film, the imagination of the earthlings also gave Angel a lot of inspiration. After turning off the film, he thought for a long time.
He actually wanted to build a world with a complete worldview, but it was too laborious and he could not really create the world, so it seemed useless to build it.
Later, he thought about it and simply built a miniature shadow of the main worldview of the nightmare world, such as the "Witch Town" and "Naraku City" in the nightmare world.
After thinking about the big framework, the next thing is the content of the illusion. Angel is not worried about this. He can actually learn a lot from watching the earth's film.
As for whether to design the main plot of the illusion, Angel thought for a moment and rejected the idea.
Designing the main plot may give people the illusion of being led by the nose.
The last time I designed the main plot for Greya, it was because Greya liked Toby; if I design the main plot this time, Greya might be disgusted.
So, it is better to design a free and open illusion.
After designing the general concept, Angel planned to refine it. As for whether this illusion, which borrowed the content of the Earth movie, has any novelty, Angel is actually a little hesitant.
He always feels that the novelty that Greya said is the kind of novelty that touches the heart, not the novelty that attracts attention.
As Greya said at the Flower Manor at that time, his illusion can make people feel something. This kind of feeling may be the so-called "novelty". But with his current realm, what can Greya feel?
So, he has no choice now, and can only refine it according to his own ideas.
...
Before refining, Angel also needs to determine the materials that carry the illusion and the final appearance.
These are not difficult things. Greya's aesthetics are very unique, as can be seen from her love of heavy makeup and flaming red lips.
It is estimated that as long as the jewelry is refined into a "flamboyant lady style", it will be fine.
In Angel's aesthetics, it may be a bit vulgar. But everyone has different aesthetics. Since it is to be refined for Graya, it is better to match her style.
After all, a purple-robed noblewoman with flaming red lips suddenly wears a piece of fresh forest girl jewelry, which is still a bit out of tune.
Angel took out a pen and paper and began to design the appearance.
Just as Angel was immersed in the design process, he suddenly heard Toby's call from outside the door.
From the short frequency of the call, Angel heard that Toby seemed to have something to do with him.
He sighed, put down the pen in his hand, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Toby rushed in and flew around Angel several times, expressing his longing and intimacy with Angel.
"What do you want to find me for?" Angel returned to the table, took out a pen and casually sketched a curve.
Toby stretched out his wings and gestured a few times, "mumbling" in his mouth, then took out a piece of paper from the snow-containing feather and threw it in front of Angel.
Looking at the note, Angell whispered doubtfully: "You said, this is the teacher's message?"
Because of alchemy, Angell has been in the underground laboratory for several days, while Toby has been playing outside. Moreover, I don't know how, it seems to have caught up with the Iron Armor Granny and often went to the Iron Armor Castle to play. Even the Iron Armor Granny gave Toby a pass to the Source of Flow.
Although it is not the record card of the Alien Laboratory in Angel's hand, with this certificate, Toby can enter and exit the Source of Flow freely.
In addition, Angell also gave Toby the pass coins of the Magic Island. Angel was not too surprised that Toby could send a message to him on behalf of Sanders.
"What does the teacher want me to do? Is it that Lady Greya came to the Savage Cave?" Angel looked at Toby.
Toby shook his head quickly. For Greya's arrival, his eyes were both longing and a little afraid. Because the experience of being trained by Greya in the Flower Manor was simply a nightmare for him.
Graya didn't come, so what was the purpose of the mentor's message?
Angel opened the note with doubts.
As the note was opened, the text symbols on it moved like tadpoles, and then floated in the air, forming an illusion.
The image of Sanders appeared in front of him.
Judging from the background in the illusion, Sanders seemed to be in his study.
"Angel, the piano-playing fox named Fox has appeared."
...
After reading Sanders's message.
Angel quickly put away the note, called Toby, who was also a little anxious, and hurriedly left the source of flow.
After leaving the source of flow, Angel directly released the gondola and took Toby to the Phantom Island quickly.
In the process of going to see Sanders, Angel was still thinking about his message.
According to Sanders, Fox, the fox holding the piano, and Frog, the frog chanter, have been lurking for a year since they escaped from the Night Demon City last time, and this time they finally reappeared in their true form.
Moreover, the place where they appeared was the sleepless city of the Eternal Night Country, which they had visited not long ago!
As soon as they appeared, they made a big move. The outer city of the sleepless city, which was hundreds of miles long, turned into a dark area. Except for some wizards who gathered their strength to open up a plane and escaped, all the rest of the people in the city were trapped in it.
Compared with the last time when Night Demon City became a ghost den, their actions this time were even worse.
Night Demon City was mainly composed of mortals, and the Twilight Well was just an ordinary wizard market, without high-powered wizards sitting in it. But this time, Sleepless City was a real wizard organization!
Moreover, Sleepless City was not a small organization, but a "quasi" large wizard organization, with high-end fighters everywhere!
Their actions this time were simply a hornet's nest!
In fact, none of this mattered to Angel. The fox harpist and the frog chanter could do whatever they wanted.
Just like Pocrates, there was a nest of colorful dragonflies there, which might be an unstable bomb, but as long as it didn't concern him, Angel could just ignore it.
But Sanders' message mentioned that Graya had also fallen into the City That Never Sleeps!
