The melodious prelude to City of Sky slowly came out, followed by the peaceful aura of Rune of Tranquility.
When the soothing music came out, Lady Mirror's furrowed eyebrows relaxed a little. As long as it wasn't ear-piercing metal clanging, she would leave the music box behind.
"Nice prelude." Mirror Lady smiled. She could feel the peaceful aura around her, and the filth in her heart was suppressed.
Just as Mirror Lady was about to enjoy the music, ripples appeared in the space around her.
Lady Mirror was shocked. "Melodious Illusion?"
Following the ripples was a long journey of playing with the clouds and chasing the end of the sky.
When Lady Mirror saw this beautiful illusion and was affected by the Tranquility Mageweath's aura, she felt an inexplicable sense of security that made her completely relax. She started a dreamy game with the clouds, the blue sky, the birds, the vast land, and the boundless grassland.
Music and illusions, both of them were top-notch on their own. Music was the work of a master, while illusion was a flawless journey.
When the two were combined, they did not feel strange at all. Instead, countless wonderful reactions were added, making it impossible not to indulge in them.
Without a doubt, this was a wonderful combination, a perfect match.
Because in her mind, in the journey of the music illusion, there were no other distracting thoughts at all, only pure emotions and an indescribable sense of comfort.
In the long journey of Mirror Maiden's life, it was rare for her to feel so relaxed and happy.
She thought the clouds and the blue sky were already the best she could do. However, at the end of the music, Angor presented her with a more sincere surprise.
It was a floating island hidden behind the dark clouds. One had to go through a thrilling adventure to see through the mist and see it.
With just a quick glance, Lady Mirror took in the enormous and majestic island.
The primitive aura of a lush rainforest and the concrete city buildings blended together in a strange harmony.
Unfortunately, time seemed to have frozen the island. Every building on the floating island was covered in thick moss. Only by looking at the mottled traces could one tell how prosperous Sky City used to be.
However, this regret, together with the music of "City in the Sky", seemed to be a kind of confession.
The narration by the music turned into thick traces of history. It was as if an outsider was using his music to whisper into Mirror Maiden's ears, narrating the past of this floating island.
In Lady Mirror's eyes, along with the gentle whispers, she seemed to be able to see the buildings on the island from countless years ago rising from the ground, the people singing and dancing around the bonfire, the shy and beautiful girl and the optimistic and handsome boy holding hands for the first time …
This was an island where even a scratch, a stone tablet, or a mound of dirt could inspire people to imagine a touching story.
Lady Mirror felt tears in her eyes. It was an emotion she had never experienced before, but it was brought out by this uninhabited island.
As the music ended, the clouds once again covered this nostalgic island. It was as if the music was the key, and when the music ended, the island would be frozen again.
The ripples appeared, and the illusion slowly disappeared.
But Lady Mirror didn't move for a long time. It was as if she could still see the silent island behind time.
After an unknown amount of time, Lady Mirror let out a long sigh.
"How wonderful. This is an uninhabited island. There are more beautiful floating islands in the mirror world, and there are more splendid buildings. But this island is the only one that can evoke my emotions," Lady Mirror sighed.
Angor did not know what kind of story Lady Mirror was imagining when she saw the island, but he could understand her feelings.
"Maybe that's the power of music," Angor muttered.
Lady Mirror smiled. "It's not just the power of music. Maybe it's something the composer wanted to tell you."
The composer of the music? Angor was a little surprised. He never paid attention to the composer of the song. But he did have some thoughts about what Lady Mirror said. The illusion he created was a scene in a dream while listening to the music. City of Sky was the medium of the dream. The composer created the music, and the music created the dream.
"What's the name of the music?" Lady Mirror asked curiously.
"City of Sky," Angor said.
"That's a very interesting name." Lady Mirror took a sip of her tea. "This is the best gift I've received in the past thousand years. I didn't expect you to give me such a great surprise. "
"It's nothing compared to saving my life, sir." Angor chuckled.
Lady Mirror chuckled. "Yes, it's nothing compared to saving your life."
Angor didn't know what to say. Although what he said was true, it was more of self-modesty. As expected, the "modesty" that Master Jon taught him would not work in the wizarding world.
"So, if you want to repay me for saving your life, you have to give me another surprise," Lady Mirror said in a half-serious manner.
"Another surprise?" Angor was puzzled, but he did not show any hesitation. "No problem. It'll be my pleasure."
As soon as he agreed, he began to think about what other surprise he should give Mirror Lady. Maybe he should change the music?
Angor agreed without hesitation, which made Lady Mirror feel a little surprised. He's young, but he knows what to do.
When she saved Angor's life, she never expected Angor to repay her kindness. She did not care about it at all.
But she was very satisfied with Angor's gift. She could see Angor's brilliance. When she thought about Angor's incredible illusions and enchantment alchemy skills, she couldn't help but try to trick him a little.
"As for what I want, I'll tell you later. Now, let's talk about something else. I have a few questions about this music box. Can you answer them? "
Angor nodded. "No problem."
"Does this music box have a name?" Lady Mirror picked up the beautiful music box and asked.
"I don't have one. Can you give it a name, Lady Mirror?"
Lady Mirror considered for a moment. "Let's call it 'Journey in the Sky'. I like traveling in the sky with music."
Angor nodded noncommittally.
"Tranquility Rune, City of Sky, and Melodious Illusion. The three elements are very harmonious. The Tranquility Sigil creates a state of mind, the Castle in the Sky calms the mind, and the Melodious Illusion leads the mind to walk. Each element requires a very high level of mastery and control. Not only did you do it, but you also combined them perfectly. What an enviable talent. "Lady Mirror was very satisfied with Journey in the Sky. She was not stingy with her praise.
Even though it was only a low-level alchemy creation, for a supernatural who had a long life ahead of her, it was her duty to pursue the truth. However, if she could have something to add to her long and lonely journey, it would be even better.
To Lady Mirror, the journey in the sky was the embellishment of this dazzling brilliance. It was a form of spiritual enjoyment.
"I'm glad you like it, Lady Mirror." Angor smiled. He felt completely relieved when he took out the gift.
"Let's put aside the Tranquility Mageweath and Sky Castle for now. What I'm curious about is how you managed to construct this illusion." Lady Mirror was most curious about the floating island. It had given her too much shock.
"I chose these places as nodes, and when I heard the music —" Angor was about to explain the nodes, Lady Mirror interrupted him.
"I'm asking about the strange feeling in the illusion. Reality is something that most Illusionary Adepts can achieve. I'm not just talking about reality, I'm talking about the feeling that can touch my heart and even evoke the emotions that have been dormant for many years."
Angor was puzzled by Lady Mirror's description. He created the illusion according to his dream. What other feelings could there be?
Lady Mirror saw Angor's expression and knew that it was difficult to get an answer. Still, she couldn't help asking, "What were you thinking about when you created the illusion?"
Lady Mirror was very concerned about this illusion that could affect one's mood. The longer a wizard lived, the weaker their emotions would become. She had forgotten how long it was since she felt this way.
"What did I think about? I saw the clouds at the beginning of the illusion with my own eyes. I stayed on the cloud whale for a long time, and I liked to look at the clouds when I had nothing to do. Based on my memory, I created the first half of the illusion, "Angor explained.
"What about the second half? That floating island, as well as everything on the island. " Mirror Lady couldn't wait to ask. She was very curious about the island. Every mark on the island had a deep meaning. She even thought that even a rotten leaf or a broken tree had a story to tell.
"When I built this floating island, I saw …" Angor tried to recall what he saw.
"The Nether City." Angor also thought about everything in the Nightmare Realm. When he was creating a bonfire on the island, he remembered a pair of tragic characters from the Nightmare Realm — a one-sided lover named Augustine and a beautiful girl named Margret.
Apart from the Nightmare Realm, he also thought about the metropolises he saw in movies back on Earth.
Angor didn't know how to describe the Nightmare Realm or the metropolises back on Earth. He could only say "Nether City" in general.
"Nether City? I think I've heard that name before. "Lady Mirror considered." You mean the Garden of Labyrinth? That ruin? "
"Yes." Angor nodded.
Lady Mirror's eyes glinted. "You've been to Nether City in Nightmare Realm?"
Angor looked up and stared at Lady Mirror in surprise.
Lady Mirror saw Angor's expression and knew she guessed right. She smiled. "Sunders took you there, right?"
"How did you know, Lady Mirror?"
Lady Mirror smiled mysteriously. "Because Flora often came here to drink tea. She got Little Red from Nether City."
"It's no wonder that the floating island you built has a feeling of time being frozen. That's the property of the Nightmare Realm. " Lady Mirror nodded. "But you're able to show the characteristics of the Nightmare Realm and bring in more unknown emotions into your illusions. That's a little strange. Maybe it's the property of illusionists like you. I can ask the Elder of Books if he's here. Too bad he never leaves Cloud Library. "
"Forget it. I won't ask him about it." Lady Mirror waved her hand and finished her tea. She lowered her voice and spoke to Angor in a mysterious tone, "Now, let's talk about the surprise I want."
