Napoli reached out a finger and touched the tattoo on his arm.
The blue flame impatiently burrowed out of the tattoo and danced on his fingertips.
Inside the flames, Napoli's memory was displayed.
It was the scene of Napori meeting Angor and Laplace for the first time near the unloading lake.
"You can recall memories with fire images?" Angor asked curiously.
When they first met at the unloading lake, Napoli didn't know how to use fire images, nor did he have any corresponding records.
Therefore, what Napoli saw now was either a memory he recalled, or something he simulated himself.
Napoli shook his head in embarrassment. "No, it's not a memory I recalled. I imagined it and recorded it in my fire image."
"It's just your imagination, so it's a bit distorted."
As soon as Napoli's voice fell, he saw the image in the flames. Circles of light appeared.
The light circle was mainly around Angor's body. The transparent light illuminated Angor's face clearly. Combined with the "Tyndall Effect" effect, Angor's face looked even more sacred and majestic.
His temperament was also elegant and gentle.
Angor stared at the images in the fire with a confused look. If it weren't for the fact that his face was still his own, he would have thought that Napoli was looking at another version of himself in a parallel world.
It wasn't that they didn't look alike, but they had nothing to do with each other.
"Was the light really this good?" Angor mumbled with a doubtful look.
Napoli scratched the back of his head. "I don't remember. But this is how I saw you back then, Mister Angor."
Angor recalled the first time he met Napoli. The man was a bit shy, but there was something different about the way he looked at Angor.
On the way back, Napoli mentioned the Dream Crystal many times, his tone filled with shock.
Angor was also looking forward to creating a logging device.
So, Napoli saw him as his idol?
Because of this, when he first met me, he added a layer of idol halo to me … And the reflection reflected in the flame was a thick layer of light filter?
Angor looked at his image in the fire image and considered for a moment. "Actually, the fire image only needs to be a faithful record of your life. Reality is the most important."
"The memories you created from your imagination are not real."
"You know, the images are a bit distorted. For example …" Angor pointed at the image in the fire image.
He really wanted to point out that he didn't have any halos in the image.
But after thinking about it, he still didn't use himself as an example. Instead, he pointed at the background of the image and said, "For example, there are actually many people on the shore of the unloading lake. They are all here to move goods … But in your memory, there is not a single one. Something is missing, which means your memory is not real. "
"Since your fire image can record real memories, there's no need to create fake memories."
Angor gave his suggestion in a serious tone.
He didn't want his image, which was full of light filters, to be frozen for eternity.
Napoli rubbed his chin and considered. "You're right, mister. I created the fire image to record my truest self. If I were to create false memories for myself, then I would have lost my original intention of obtaining the flame image. "
"If the runes have souls, they'll be disappointed in me."
Napoli nodded. "I won't create fake memories. I'll focus on the real thing."
Angor sighed in relief. He then looked at the blue flame on Napoli's fingertip.
Napoli quickly understood. "As for the fake memories, it's a waste to delete them. I'll give them to you, mister. It'll be a witness to our first meeting. "
Give them to me? Angor was surprised.
Memories created by the fire image could be given away?
"I can't give you my fire image directly. But I have 'Fire Mimicry'!"
As he spoke, Napoli activated the mimicry ability.
The blue flame seemed to have turned into plasticine in Napoli's hand. His hands were like phantoms as he quickly rubbed and pulled the Flame Plasticine.
In the end, Napoli used Fire Mimicry to turn the flame, which contained their first meeting memories, into a burning blue box.
Actually, the box only had the shape of a box.
There was still fire inside.
Angor wondered how "Fire Mimicry" worked. It bound the flame into the shape of a box without changing its nature at all.
Napoli handed the palm-sized box to Angor.
"Open the lid and you'll see the memories."
Napoli was about to show them to Angor.
Angor quickly stopped him. He really didn't want to see his "sacred skin" again.
Also, he looked at Laplace.
She didn't say anything, nor did her eyes change. But as far as Angor knew, if there weren't any outsiders around, Laplace's evil intentions would be enough to make all her avatars hold a tea party.
Angor took the box and instinctively wanted to destroy it.
However, when it touched the box, he gave up on destroying it. Or rather, he decided not to destroy it for now.
This was because he clearly sensed two different residual abilities from the box.
One was the energy of Fire Mimicry, while the other was the energy of Fire Mimicry. The two energies inside the box were interacting harmoniously as if there was no barrier between them.
Angor was curious about Napoli's ability.
There were some unsightly images inside the box, but it didn't matter. Since it was in his hands, he wouldn't let it see the light of day again.
Angor decided not to destroy it for now. He would study Napoli's ability first.
…
Napoli didn't do anything else after that.
After learning that Angor was an Illusionist, he asked Angor to help him test whether the images recorded by Fire Mimicry were real or illusionary.
If the Fire Reflection could also record the real background, then in a sense, the Fire Reflection could also have the effect of "breaking illusions" and "true vision."
If that was the case, Fire Mimicry was a supernatural ability that could counter illusions and illusions.
The result of the test was … normal.
Anyway, Fire Mimicry couldn't see through any of Angor's illusions. It only recorded what the illusions looked like.
However, when Angor deliberately set up the most basic illusions using the level of a beginner Illusionist, Fire Mimicry could still easily find the flaws.
This was because basic illusions were often only used to deceive people's eyes and would not be created with too much precision.
Besides, some of the backgrounds in basic illusions were usually "flat".
For example, a cabinet in the distance might look like a cabinet, but it was actually just an optical illusion to deceive people's eyes.
If you had two perspectives at the same time, you would see a cabinet in front of your eyes, while a third-person perspective would see the cabinet as a piece of paper. The front of the paper just happened to be facing your eyes, which made you think it was a cabinet. But if you looked at it from above, you would immediately find the flaw.
Therefore, such basic illusions that only deceived people's eyes were completely defeated by Fire Mimicry's third-person perspective.
As a result, Fire Mimicry could break illusions to a certain extent, but its effect was limited.
Even so, Fire Mimicry was good enough.
Fire Mimicry was a surveillance spell used to record people's lives. Any additional effect would be worth it.
They kept moving forward while testing.
When they were about to reach the manufacturing area, Naprey's Fire Mimicry also came to an end.
At this moment, they arrived at an obviously spacious passageway with a wall of light at the end.
There were many rooms on both sides of the corridor. Many of them had their doors pushed open. Angor could see craftsmen working hard inside, as well as crystal puppets carrying materials.
Not far from them, a four-meter-tall crystal puppet walked out of a door.
It dragged dozens of sealed boxes out of the door and headed toward the light wall at the end of the corridor. The boxes on its back followed the puppet into the light wall and disappeared like a snake's tail.
There were many similar situations.
About ten seconds later, several puppets came out from both sides of the wall and dragged the sealed boxes to the light wall.
"Behind the light wall is the manufacturing area," Naprey said. "The smelting workshops near the manufacturing area are staffed by the best Master Smelters. They can smelt fast and produce large quantities of materials. So, we arranged them near the manufacturing area so that the craftsmen inside can be replenished in time. "
This was why the previous corridor was so quiet, but this one was so crowded. Even the doors on both sides of the corridor were not closed.
Their smelting speed was too fast. Every few minutes, a new batch of materials would be sent to the manufacturing area. There was no need to close the doors.
"The smelting speed here is fast, but the quality of the materials is not affected." Naprey looked at Angor. "Do you want to check the finished materials?"
Angor nodded. "Sure."
The reason he came to the embryo factory this time was to inspect the materials and semi-finished products. Then he would check if there were any flaws and whether the semi-finished products were suitable for use.
Checking the quality of the materials was part of his job.
Naprey stepped forward and stopped one of the crystal puppets.
These Crystal Puppets were the Crystal Shell Mechanical Soldiers that the Crystal Eye Race and Pilucci had jointly developed. However, the soldiers that were originally used on the battlefield had now transformed into Crystal Puppets and were used to transport soldiers.
However, even if they were only transporting now, they would still transform into fighting machines and fight with the enemy if someone blocked them with malicious intent.
When Naprey stopped the puppets, their eyes began to glow red, as if they were about to enter combat mode.
However, when they saw Naprey's face, their bloodshot eyes slowly calmed down.
Clearly, Naprey's authority was beyond the limits of the puppets' defenses.
Next, Naprey opened the box on one of the puppets' backs and showed Angor the materials inside.
Angor crouched down and carefully inspected the items. He found that the materials in the box were all refined crystal ores. They were very pure, without any impurities.
Even the slightest impurity or air bubbles would cause uneven energy distribution in the crystals, which would make them unable to withstand the illusion nodes.
The crystal ores in the box were as clear and pure as crystal balls.
Without a doubt, the craftsmen had removed all impurities from the crystals, which were already good enough to be used as embryos.
Even Angor would not be able to do much more than this.
However, Angor could only handle a few dozen crystals at a time. Each of the boxes was three meters in size, and there were hundreds of finished crystals inside.
There were dozens of such chests behind the Crystal Golem.
Such was the power of unity.
Angor used his spirit feelers to check several more boxes. Almost all of them were perfectly fine.
This was no longer a matter of looking for a good grade.
Instead, it was a 100% excellent product.
When everyone, including an entire civilization, was working toward the same goal, the resulting passion was terrifying.
Even Angor was shocked by the near-perfect quality of the item.
"Looking at these crystal mines, I feel that there is no need for me to check the manufacturing area." Angor sighed. Manufacturing was harder than smelting, but as long as everyone had the same goal, there should not be any accidents.
Of course, he still had to go through the motions.
He was already here.
He had to check what was necessary.
…
Under Napole's lead, they walked past the crowd of puppets and reached the end of the tunnel.
The light wall at the end of the tunnel was right in front of them.
Napole nodded to the others and stepped into the light wall first. Angor and Laplace quickly followed him.
Angor closed his eyes subconsciously under the strong light. But he still felt that he had entered a vast space from the narrow tunnel.
Just by listening to the slight sound of the wind, one could feel the vastness and emptiness of this space.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast space with no end in sight.
The soft black ground under his feet was covered with crispy grass. There was also a gurgling stream nearby.
Looking into the distance, one could even see a boundless sea of colorful flowers in the distance.
A gentle wind blew, causing the grass and trees to sway and the flowers to fall.
There was nothing but a beautiful plain as far as the eye could see.
However, these were only decorations. The real manufacturing area was not on the plain.
It was in the air.
The plains looked peaceful and serene, but in the air, there was a raging fire!
