Chapter 660 Withering
Anger was stunned for a moment.
The amount of information in Sanders' words was too amazing. When he was still wondering about the mysterious concrete object being transformed into a "concept" in the first sentence, the second sentence was like a thunderbolt, crossing the rolling black clouds and falling from the sky.
The so-called concept is a cognitive expression of the self-consciousness. In other words, it is to extract the common essence of the things perceived by the self and summarize and interpret them.
For example, cold is a concept.
Take "cold" as an example. In general, it is very vague. But we can define it by perception, which is the so-called concept.
Anger knew that the mysterious concrete object could be transformed into a cat, dog, or a person, or into a stone, plant, gravel, or even a hurricane and snowflake. But he never expected that the mysterious concrete object could be transformed into an abstract concept.
According to Sanders, the mysterious concrete object in the snowy fantasy is a concept called "withering". Angel thought about it carefully, and finally realized that it was no wonder that he had not been able to find the mysterious concrete object in the snowy fantasy. If he did not understand an abstract concept, how could he find the trick?
However, even if he found this concept, how did Sanders trigger it?
This question came to his mind. But Angel's thoughts were shrouded by the greater shock in Sanders' words.
——The "Withering Technique" that Sanders just released, was it something he had just realized from the mysterious concrete object?
"Teacher, the Withering Technique is..." Angel pointed to the Frost Moon Pendant, with an unbelievable look on his face.
"I just named the Withering Technique. Although its power is only at the level of a second-level trick, it is indeed something I just realized from the mysterious concrete object called 'Withering Concept'." Sanders looked at Angel, with surprise and worry in his eyes.
He thought Angel would be the least worrying one among his disciples. But it was not the case. Since he accepted Angel as his disciple, he has never been at ease.
This little guy always brings him some surprises from time to time... or, fright.
He suddenly became an alchemist, and then he almost summoned the queen to destroy the entire wizard world in the Twilight Shoot, and then he heard that he released the genius wizard Isabel from a thousand years ago, and then the magazine reported that he almost became a mysterious alchemist, and now he has made this mysterious figurative object that can enlighten people...
This is simply endless, with surprises and joys, but more of it is frightening.
"Alas..." Sanders sighed, Angel can make mysterious figurative objects, it is his ability. However, his talent cannot match his own strength. This is like a baby born with a treasure in his arms. Although the treasure has recognized its master in the womb, the wolves who are spying on the baby have many ways to make the baby work for them.
"It can really make people understand tricks?" Angel frowned, so far, he still doesn't believe it.
"Don't you have any idea?" Sanders was also a little confused. After all, this was made by Angel. According to what he said, he also experimented with many mysterious objects, so he should have some idea.
Angel did know that the huge information flow in the mysterious objects could bring some enlightenment. He also imagined that these information flows might allow people to create magic.
But this was just an imagination, and he never thought it would really happen.
"I didn't expect this to happen either. This is obviously just my fantasy. How could it really happen?" Angel murmured.
Sanders saw Angel's puzzled expression and saw that Angel was really surprised.
"Maybe, fate really favors you." Sanders shook his head. "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Can you build an illusion with mysterious concrete objects now?"
Angel shook his head: "It's not possible to build an illusion alone. There must be a carrier for the mysterious concrete objects to appear."
"In other words, you must be proficient in alchemy and illusion. It's not enough to build an illusion alone." Sanders whispered: "This will be more disadvantageous to you. Your personal value will be higher, but the risk will be greater."
Angel was silent. After knowing that Sanders had realized the withering technique from the mysterious concrete object, he understood the danger of this matter.
He was guilty of possessing a treasure. As an alchemist who had touched the mysterious field, he was guilty of possessing a treasure. Now if the matter of the mysterious concrete object was spread, it would be terrible.
Sanders: "Besides me and Greya, have you told anyone else about the mysterious concrete object? Or, have you given the alchemical work with the mysterious concrete object to anyone else?"
Angel shook his head. He actually planned to build a fantasy with a mysterious concrete object and give it to David not long ago, so that his logo could be exposed a little.
But later on, thinking about it, it was a bit inconsistent with the market trading principles to use a big move at the beginning for a pirated copy. Therefore, Angel did not give the fantasy with the mysterious concrete object to David, but only gave David a music box that was more sophisticated than "Sky Journey" and another alchemical fantasy that Angel made casually for entertainment.
He originally planned to use these alchemical illusions to spread the word first, and then slowly release new things after the public opinion was about the same. But now it seems that if his strength is not strong enough to protect himself, he'd better not release the mysterious concrete object.
"That's a little better." Sanders paused, still with a serious expression, "But it's still not necessarily safe. When this thing is born, even if no one has heard of it or seen it, someone will always pay attention to it."
Angel understood what Sanders meant. There is nothing perfect and absolute in this world.
For example, a prophetic wizard might be able to see it. For example, if there is a mysterious object that can detect mysterious concrete objects, it may also expose Angel.
This is a world full of wonderful existences, and everything is possible.
"Even so, for now, you should not have attracted the attention of others. The most important thing for you now is to improve your strength, and don't consider other things for the time being."
"Then the dream twins I refined for Lady Greya..."
"I will go over and tell Greya. Don't worry, when she decided to let Toby continue to follow you, she had already made a choice. She is a pragmatic wizard and knows what is best for her. Since she has invested in you, she will not become a roadblock for you." Sanders said bluntly.
"Just remember these digressions. I believe you don't want to be someone else's forbidden food." Sanders changed the subject and continued to talk about the mysterious concrete object: "Since you must create an alchemical illusion to have a mysterious concrete object, do you have any other alchemical illusions now? I want to do a comprehensive data collection on this mysterious concrete object."
"Not at the moment, but it's not difficult to create this alchemical illusion. I can do it now."
Sanders: "Is it not difficult to create this illusion?"
Angel nodded.
Sanders: "If someone discovers an alchemical illusion with a mysterious concrete object, you must not say that it is easy to create it."
Sanders thought for a while and said something that seemed unrelated: "Greya's creation technique has a cooling period of fifty years."
Angel was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "I understand." If it is too easy to get, it will attract more people to covet it.
"Teacher, should I create an alchemical illusion now?"
Sanders was silent for a long time before he said, "No need to create it now, let's do it later."
When Sanders said this, he almost suppressed the demon in his heart that was about to swell up. He warned Angel not to become someone else's forbidden food, but God knows, he himself had a desire to completely ban Angel from the Gravity Garden and only refine mysterious objects for him from now on.
But Sanders' self-control told him that doing so would not only ruin Angel, but also ruin himself.
Mysterious objects look good, but who knows what side effects there will be. Moreover, if he relies on mysterious objects blindly, it is equivalent to destroying his foundation of true knowledge.
Relying on the side door knocking of those grand information flows, he can create new spells, but are these spells really created by himself? This is also an unknown.
For example, this withering spell, although it mobilizes his own knowledge, the trick that comes out in the end has nothing to do with Sanders himself. This made him feel unreal.
If he was creating a new spell, and this spell had reached a critical point but could not break through, he could accept it by using the huge information flow of the mysterious concrete object to break through the bottleneck. But if he got a spell out of thin air, any wizard who had a little bit of pursuit would probably have self-doubt.
It was precisely because he understood these principles that Sanders restrained himself.
If he really let the devil in his heart go, he would probably be sorry for Angel's trust in him.
Just like his evaluation of Graya, in fact, he himself was the same. After discovering Angel's specialness in the nightmare world, he was also investing in Angel's future. He had a hunch that perhaps Angel could help him truly embark on a path of legend, or even above legend.
Because of this, he was even less likely to live up to this bond.
In the following time, Sanders obtained some data about the mysterious concrete object from Angel. These data were detected by Angel himself, mostly focusing on the duration after the mysterious concrete object was triggered, and there was not much real exploration. Therefore, if Sanders wants to get more information, he has to wait for Angel to refine a new batch of alchemical illusions.
After Sanders rested, Angel finally had time to ask: "Teacher, how did you trigger the mysterious concrete object in the snowy illusion?"
Since it is a concept, how to trigger it?
"Spiritual power." Sanders explained: "Concepts that are not in the same dimension naturally use the triggering mode of the same boundary, and mental power can trigger it."
Sanders explained the triggering process in detail, and Angel finally understood it.
"Since the mysterious concrete object in the snowy illusion is the concept of 'withering', what is the mysterious concrete object on the mysterious mountain?"
