"A music box? And it's an advanced music box? "Everyone could not help but mutter," Which alchemist is so bored? "
In the silver-card VIP area on the second floor, David also shook his head and sighed. "Such a beautiful shape, it can be called a work of art … It's actually a music box?
"By the way, Angor, I didn't think someone would be as bored as you and upgrade his music box to …" Dave was about to tease Angor when he saw the latter's gloomy expression and his hand pressing against his chest.
"Don't move! Calm down, Toby! "Angor yelled at him.
When he heard about the "Land on the Cloud", he had a bad feeling about it. As expected, Angor was shocked when he saw the item.
The design of the transistor, the exotic splashes, the patterns, the luster, and the illusion nodes all told him that the music box that Twilight put up for auction was his creation!
Why would his music box appear at the auction?
Before he could figure it out, he sensed something moving inside his chest pocket.
A feeling of restlessness and uneasiness surrounded Toby.
Angor quickly noticed Toby's strange behavior. The restlessness was growing stronger and stronger. Angor believed that Toby would lose his mind when the restlessness reached its limit.
This was the inner hall of Twilight Light, where countless powerful wizards gathered. Angor would never let anything happen to Toby. He quickly covered Toby's mouth and kept yelling at him.
Don't worry! The case isn't settled yet, so don't scare yourself. "Angor quickly realized what Toby was thinking.
"Tweet —" Toby's sad voice came from his chest pocket.
Angor lowered his head and whispered into Toby's ear, "You know, I made another music box yesterday morning. Maybe it's for Lady Mirror. Don't worry."
Angor's gentle words calmed Toby down a little.
But soon, Toby became restless again.
From Toby's growls, Angor understood why the bird was acting up again. Toby sensed that the music box was contaminated with its pheromone.
Without a doubt, the music box was the one Angor made for Toby.
But even if he understood, what was the use? What was done could not be undone. It was an established fact.
On the airship, when he learned that Toby had lent his music box to his friends, he was not afraid to speculate the outcome of the music box with the greatest malice.
In fact, he had foreseen the "bad result," but he thought that the music box wasn't too precious, so he didn't say it directly. Instead, he wanted to warn Toby not to trust anyone easily. He was already planning to teach Toby a lesson when he returned to Brute Cavern.
But he didn't expect this "lesson" to come so suddenly. The timing wasn't right, and the emotions weren't good enough. Only Toby's "lesson" was more serious than Angor thought.
Just the day before, Toby had happily shared his most precious music box with his good friend. The next day, he saw his true love on the ice- cold auction stage. Not only had its little friend betrayed it, but it had also lost its music box. What's more, the music box was going to be sold right in front of his eyes. This was such a cruel thing for Toby, who had always been optimistic.
Toby was anxious, worried, and struggling. But he didn't dare to look at Angor directly.
Angor understood Toby's feelings. He gave the music box to Toby, but Toby lost it in the end. How could Toby face Angor again?
"It's okay. I can make another one. The Echo Flowers aren't that expensive. I'll make one for you later. I'll make something better than this one …"
…
Most of the time, Angor and Toby talked in a low voice.
David couldn't hear what they were talking about, but when he saw Toby's sad eyes, he remembered Angor saying, "I made the music box for Toby. He likes music."
David understood something, but he didn't quite understand it.
Twilight continued her explanation, "I'll show you the special features of this music box in a moment. Now, please look over here. "Twilight pointed at the energy chamber and released a small amount of mana.
In an instant, a calming aura spread out from the music box.
"Is that … some kind of calming effect?" someone wondered.
"Tranquility Rune! That's right! I saw something similar in Floating Mech City. There was a pillow with Tranquility Rune on it. It gave me a good night's sleep! "
"But it doesn't match. Tranquility Rune is supposed to calm us down. What's the point of putting it on a crackling music box?"
Twilight nodded with a smile. "That's right. This is Tranquility Rune. As for those who don't agree with the music box, I'll show you later. "
Both David and Prome looked at Angor. They both knew that Angor was making a music box several days ago, and Angor told them that he was going to carve a Tranquility Rune on the bottom of the box.
Angor was probably the only one who could come up with such a strange combination.
There was no doubt that the music box was made by Angor. But something strange happened. How did the music box he was working on two days ago suddenly appear at Twilight Auction?
They had been with Angor for several days, but they never saw Angor showing up at Twilight Auction.
Seeing that Angor and Toby had calmed down a little, David asked in a low voice, "What's going on, Angor? Is that … the music box you made? "
As soon as David finished speaking, Toby, who had calmed down, began to struggle again.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you later." Angor had no choice but to try to calm Toby down.
As a matter of fact, Toby could get rid of Angor's hand if he wanted to. But he didn't know what to do. What could he do with Angor? Toby's mind was in a mess, but he knew he did something wrong. He didn't want Angor to get angry. Angor didn't seem angry, which made Toby feel a little better. But he was still worried that Angor would ignore him. Toby began to struggle again, hoping that Angor would pay attention to him.
Angor knew that if Toby really wanted to break free, he wouldn't be able to stop it even if there were ten of him. Unless he could control the sequence of gravity in his soul. Toby was trying to "blackmail" Angor. It was like a child crying for candy. If Angor ignored it, it would keep crying until Angor paid attention to it.
Angor understood Toby's helplessness. He didn't expose Toby's little trick. Instead, he tried his best to play along.
While Angor and Toby were enjoying each other's company, David sighed and whispered to Prome, "I think there's more to this than meets the eye. I think someone stole the music box Angor gave Toby."
Prome didn't say anything. "Angor can tell us the story later. If he doesn't want to, we don't need to guess. Twilight is going to demonstrate the music box. Let's pay attention. I want to know what's so special about Angor's music box. "
Prome was an alchemist himself. He didn't follow the same path as Angor, but he was still secretly competing with Angor. He never showed it on his face, but he always felt a sense of superiority. It was probably because he followed the most orthodox path of synthesis, and he was the one who taught Angor everything. It was natural for him to think that he was better than Angor.
However, even if Prome thought he was better at alchemy than Angor, Twilight Auction would still sell his products in regular auctions, rather than the grand auction held twice a year.
But Angor's music box not only won the grand auction on its first day, but it was also placed at the back of the auction. More importantly, the auctioneer seemed to like the music box a lot. He even claimed that Lydia, the "Fiery Lotus", would like it as well.
Prome, who secretly thought that he was better than Angor, felt a little uncomfortable. He felt like he just got slapped in the face.
This was why Prome wanted to know what was so special about Angor's music box.
…
Twilight placed the music box on the stage and spoke to the audience, "The most important thing about a music box is the music itself. To protect the rights of the bidders, I will only play one part of the music. You can enjoy it for yourselves. As for whether you want to buy it or not, you can decide after you're done. "
The audience didn't expect much from the music box. Twilight's method was a little slow, but they still considered it as an intermission.
Only Lydia, who was called out by Twilight, remained in Room 1. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Twilight's every move.
Twilight took out a piece of cloth that gave off a strange glow and covered the music box. She reached her hand into the cloth and twisted the spring.
As the spring moved, the aura of the Rune of Tranquility was fully released and covered the entire room.
The aura of the Rune of Tranquility quieted the room down. However, Angor's music and illusions were not released to the outside world. Clearly, they were all covered by the cloth.
As time passed, everyone looked at each other. They had no idea what Twilight was up to.
"What are you waiting for, Twilight?" Lydia asked in a sarcastic tone.
"Don't worry, Lady Lotus. I've already activated the music box. But to protect the rights of the bidders, I've covered it up. I'll reveal it when the music box reaches the end, and you can enjoy the last part of the music. "
This was actually a kind of awareness to prevent piracy. The audience understood Twilight's intention and waited patiently.
After being comforted by the Rune of Tranquility for about five minutes, Twilight stepped forward and announced to the audience, "The music has come to an end. Now, you may enjoy it. "
Twilight slightly lifted the black cloth, and a strange light slowly spread out from under the black cloth, accompanied by melodious music.
Before anyone could figure out what was going on, ripples appeared in the air around the room.
