Since the final product needed to be transparent, Angor had to replace some of the materials with similar colors.
With that done, Angor began to look for a suitable music to match the illusion.
He didn't plan to change the music either. He still decided to use the soothing music from City of Sky as the main theme. As for the illusion, Angor needed to think about it.
What kind of illusion would be most compatible with City in the Sky? This question was just like human values. Everyone's bottom line and upper limit were different. Therefore, it was basically impossible to find the perfect answer. However, apart from a few unforgivable evildoers, human values all shared the same moral order. Otherwise, a sustainable society couldn't be built. Such was the consistency of values.
Angor didn't expect to find a perfect illusion for the City of Sky. What he wanted was to find a relatively perfect one that was acceptable to the public.
How should he find it? It was like reading a book. Reading it a hundred times would reveal its meaning. Perhaps he would find the answer if he listened carefully.
He opened the music folder and played City of Sky.
The soothing music gently soothed her tired spirit. His mind, which had been running for a whole day, gradually became less active. In the end, Angor even closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, he rode the demon falcon and soared through the sky. The clear blue sky was his background, and the smoke-like clouds were his direction. After passing through one cloud after another, and even passing through the dangerous thunderclouds, the Demon Falcon still didn't change its direction and continued to fly forward … Flying among the clouds, roaming freely in the blue dome of heaven, at this moment, all of its uneasiness and inferiority, worries and worries, pride and indulgence disappeared. Only the peace of the soul and the broad-mindedness of looking at the vast blue dome of heaven would exist forever, just like the sky that had never changed since ancient times.
After flying for a long time, a large patch of dark clouds suddenly appeared in front of the demon falcon. It looked like a giant cloud vortex, indicating unknown danger.
However, the demon falcon didn't stop flying. Instead, it dove into the clouds.
As expected, there were endless lightning bolts hidden in the clouds. It looked like the God of Thunder was swinging his lightning whip, which tore the clouds apart with each strike.
Like a brave warrior, Angor controlled the demon falcon to fly through the lightning. After going through the danger, the demon falcon finally broke through the clouds. A faint mist appeared in front of Angor's eyes. He looked up and saw the mist slowly parting.
When the mist completely dispersed, an island floating in the sky appeared in front of him.
The island seemed to be his final reward for breaking through the clouds and getting through all the dangers he faced.
At first glance, Angor thought it was Phantom Island.
But when he looked closer, he saw that the island was full of reinforced concrete buildings and green flowers. It was an island that combined the urban style of Earth with the scenery of a primitive forest. The collision of modern and primitive gave the island a dreamy effect.
It floated there quietly, from ancient times until now.
Its quietness, its vastness, its grandeur. As if it was telling a story that connected the past, present, and the future.
And this story was waiting to be discovered by people who landed on the island.
Angor suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his dream. The beautiful melody of City of Sky was still lingering in his ears. Accompanied by the music, Angor's vision blurred for a moment, as if he could still see the "island full of unknown stories" at the end of the mist.
Angor checked the time. It was seven o 'clock in the morning. He played the same song on repeat for the whole night.
It was a little loud, but he still got a lot of inspiration. Angor quickly took out a pen and paper and recorded every detail of his dream.
He felt that perhaps everyone's aesthetic standards were different. However, this kind of environment where "the endless Firmament Path has endless stories, and the boundless floating clouds narrates the impermanence of the world", coupled with the element of "embarking on an adventure, parting the layers of clouds, and seeing the unknown secret realm" that anyone who longed for freedom would yearn for.
Maybe Lady Mirror would appreciate it too?
Considering Lady Mirror's preference, Angor believed that building a tall and handsome figure of Sunders on the floating island would please Lady Mirror more.
But as a disciple with integrity and taste, Angor gave up on the idea.
Texture was more important than carnal desire. Angor believed so.
Angor decided to use this as an illusion. Since he had all the materials and the blueprint, he began crafting.
Before that, he had to go to the attic.
He didn't see Toby in the attic.
Due to his busy alchemy work, he didn't pay much attention to Toby. His dried fish was already stored in the attic, and there was a small stream nearby. Toby was completely self-sufficient except for the inconvenience of changing his clothes.
"Tsk, where did this guy go? Maybe he's in heat now and can't go home?" While Toby was not around, Angor did not hold back his thoughts.
He came to the attic to get the Echo Flower. He already got two Echo Flowers a few days ago, but he had already used them up after all his experiments and designs. Still, it wasn't all for nothing. At least he figured out how to avoid the limitation of Echo Flowers, which only allowed him to record once.
The Echo Flower was the main material of the music box, so how could it be missing? This time, he decided to make two music boxes, one for Toby and the other for Mirror. Therefore, Toby had to use the last two Echo Flowers.
As soon as he picked up the flower, he heard something whistling through the air.
A colorful shadow flew through the window and landed in front of him.
There was no doubt that it was Toby.
Toby, who was dressed like a flower fairy, had a garland made of petals of different colors on his head.
"I need to make a music box. I used up the two flowers I got last time." Angor's Bird Language was perfect, so he could easily communicate with Toby.
After Toby heard this, his little eyes were filled with hesitation. The City of Sky really amazed Toby. He had been looking forward to seeing his young master make a music box as soon as possible. However, nothing happened after so long that he almost forgot about it. Now that Angor mentioned it again, Toby remembered the two Echo Flowers that were cruelly used up. He was a bit reluctant to give them up, but he also wanted to listen to the City of Sky again. That was why Toby was hesitating.
"Don't worry. I'll make it today! There won't be any problems. " Angor patted his chest confidently. However, he seemed to have forgotten that this was his first attempt at non-weapon alchemy, and the success rate was still a big question mark.
Toby trusted Angor a little more, so he nodded in the end.
"Alright, go play by yourself. I've already prepared my sketches and materials. If everything goes well, the music box should be ready by tonight. " While speaking, Angor suddenly smelled the scent of flowers on Toby's body. "Oh, right. Who made those flowers for you? They look fresh. There's even Morning Dew on them. "
Toby did not intend to hide anything. He flapped his wings and chirped while explaining the origin of the flowers to Angor.
"So you made a new friend? Good. Just don't get tricked by bad people."
Angor was not worried about Toby at all. Toby was much stronger than him, so he did not need to worry about it. On the other hand, whenever Angor went out alone, Toby would be worried about his safety and would always fly in the air to protect him.
Besides, Angor believed that someone who could make such a beautiful flower costume could not be a bad person.
After saying goodbye to Toby, Angor took the two Echo Flowers back to his underground lab and began his crafting.
The materials were melted into a strange semi-solid state under Thaw. Then, Angor used Hand of Spell to reshape them into various shapes.
Angor had a good plan. Two Echo Flowers to make two music boxes. However, halfway through, when the beautiful shapes were ready, something went wrong when he was inscribing runes, which resulted in an explosion.
Luckily, Angor noticed that something was wrong and ran away in time, so he did not get hurt.
When he came to the conclusion of his failure, he realized that he neglected one important detail. The runes he reserved were placed inside the illusion nodes.
Since the runes were very close to the nodes, Angor needed to release mana continuously to activate the illusion nodes. However, the medium used to inscribe runes was still semi-solid, which led to the final explosion.
It was not difficult to solve this problem. All he needed to do was to change the order of the runes.
He looked at the ruined Echo Flowers and silently apologized to Toby in his mind.
The second crafting went much smoother. Angor already saw the shape of the music box. This time, he began to inscribe the runes first. When the Tranquility Rune was completed, he carefully placed the nodes.
He learned how to make the demon falcon ornament in Sunders' study and used it more skillfully this time. The structure of the microscopic illusion was completed in no time.
Next came the most important step. He had to record the music and set up the sound source for Sonofabitch.
This was his first attempt. He had simulated it many times, but it was still his first attempt, so he still took it seriously.
As soon as the music came out, Angor activated the sound source for Sonofabitch.
In order to prove that the illusion was harmless, Angor did not create the illusion instantly. Instead, he let the illusion slowly appear in the form of ripples like a water droplet falling into the sea. This would not only prove that the illusion was harmless, but also make the audience feel as if they had traveled through a time tunnel and wandered in a peaceful world.
