All the beautiful things in the world were shown to the old man.
The towering snowy peaks shone brightly under the sunlight that had been frozen by time.
A gentle breeze blew across the ocean, and several unmanned fishing boats drifted along the shore as if they were telling some unknown stories.
There were also seagulls flying above the blurry mermaids and mermaids.
The endless forest, the vast grassland, and the boundless sky were all described in one glance.
This was a mystical illusory realm. Furthermore, within this illusory realm, a dense and strange aura enveloped everyone.
"It's like a spell that can freeze time, but it's also full of stories that can turn back time. It can also make one's imagination run wild. This music box is amazing!" Tong Witch exclaimed. This was the first time she felt something so wonderful. She wanted to buy it right away. However, she only had about 5,000 magic crystals. She didn't even qualify to buy it.
"I see. No wonder Mister Rein was so impressed. It's possible for Greya to gain enlightenment in an alchemy illusion like this!" Leona nodded in realization.
"You mean Greya created the spell because of an alchemy illusion?" Tong Witch was surprised.
Leona nodded. "Not entirely. Greya had accumulated enough knowledge, but she couldn't find the key to overcome it. That's how the illusion helped her."
Tong Witch's eyes lit up. "You know the creator, Angor?"
"Of course I do." Leona let out a bitter smile. "He's Mister Phantom's new student. A terrifyingly talented young man."
Tong Witch didn't say anything. She suddenly recalled the name she saw at the bottom of the music box. "Angor, is it?"
Not only Leona, but almost every wizard in Brute Cavern also came up with the same idea. In such a mystical aura, it was indeed very impactful. It was also possible for one to have an epiphany.
Shildeen stared at the illusion with even brighter eyes. "I have to get it! I have to!"
Sumesh, on the other hand, had a look of awe in his eyes.
As an illusionist from the Phantom Clan, he had been to the Nightmare Realm before. He knew how to cast illusions as well as how to fuse two different Nightmare Domains. However, he couldn't incorporate the Nightmare Realm into his illusion.
For a moment, Sumesh even thought that Angor had added a Nightmare Domain into the music box. Only a Nightmare Domain could give off such a feeling.
However, when he looked closer, he realized that the illusion only contained the Nightmare Realm's aura, which was why Sumesh denied his previous assumption.
Even so, Sumesh couldn't help but be amazed by the illusion. Even he couldn't do such a thing, yet Angor, who he only saw once, could do it. Not only did the illusion feel as real as a "True Illusion" spell, but it also contained the Nightmare Realm's Nightmare Domain....
At this time, the music entered the Overlay again. This was the third time it had entered the Overlay. Those who understood music theory knew very well that this Overlay was the theme of the whole piece. The third appearance meant that the music was coming to an end.
A minute later, the blind old man in the illusion closed his eyes in satisfaction. The miraculous illusory realm in his eyes also disappeared.
Everyone present couldn't help but sigh. They were still in shock and hadn't had the time to study that strange illusion. How could it disappear just like that? If they wanted to continue their research, they would have to buy the music box.
Those who had money began to roll up their sleeves, while those who didn't had to shake their heads in disappointment.
The music was still playing, and the illusion was still there.
After fulfilling his wish, the old man closed his eyes and passed away. The girl who was dancing stopped as well. A drop of tear rolled down her face. At this moment, there was a slight change in the music. Although everyone felt that the tune was still cheerful and gorgeous, they could faintly hear a trace of melancholy.
Everyone remained silent, accompanied by a faint sense of sadness.
"That's some great emotional control!" At this moment, a Magus suddenly spoke. His words were like thunder, striking the nerves of everyone present.
"That's right. Even I almost fell into the illusion." Another wizard chimed in.
Because of the conversation between the two Magi, the acolytes, who had unknowingly sunk into their emotions, came back to their senses, their eyes filled with shock. The illusion made them lose their minds. If it wasn't for the wizard's reminder, they would've lost their minds.
Sumesh shook his head. "It's a good trick indeed. All the foreshadowing in the beginning was used to set off the sublimation at the end. It might look like an illusion, but that's not the case. The creator is only using the story in the illusion to guide your emotions. Once you notice it, it won't work. "
"You're right, Mr. Sumesh. But there's one thing I don't agree with. If it's purely used in music appreciation, this emotion is completely in place. How can you say that it's' secretly guiding '? I think it's actually just a display of true feelings. "The one who spoke was Len. He had his own opinion about the final emotional outburst of the crowd.
The conversation between the two allowed the apprentices to understand the crux of the matter. If it took a long time to set up the story, then the apprentices wouldn't have to worry about losing their minds at all.
Besides, they were more inclined to agree with Leon's explanation. After all, it required people to be sincerely involved in the story for such an effect to appear. It was indeed very useful in the appreciation of music.
After all, it was just a music box, not a weapon. Music was the essence of the game.
With that in mind, the apprentices enjoyed the ending of the illusion.
The girl began to dance again. She spun slowly as if she was doing ballet. The illusion changed again, and they returned to the forest. The person who talked to the old man in the forest was no longer a blur. It was the wizard who helped the old man see through the illusion.
The apprentices finally realized that the story was just an interlude.
The two continued their conversation. In the end, the girl nodded at the wizard and turned into a bubble.
The ending was a bit surprising. Why did the girl turn into a bubble? Was it because of the promise she made with the wizard? Was she sacrificing herself just so that the old man could see the light for a moment? Or was it just an artistic sublimation that matched the musical expression?
No one knew. A thousand people had a thousand different answers. That was the charm of art.
After the music ended, Theron closed the music box.
He stood on the stage and didn't speak for a long time. The apprentices didn't urge him either, because they were still thinking about this wonderful musical journey.
Theron looked at the scene and sighed with emotion at the miraculous music illusion. At the same time, he was secretly cursing his boss.
Sharon had done a brainless thing. Just for the sake of his pride, he jumped out without knowing the truth and wanted to regain his pride. However, he just had to run into the muzzle of the original creator. Instead, he was caught red-handed and turned the tables on him.
When Theron was still sighing, Leon spoke again, "I'm very sure that this music box was made by the creator of the Land on the Clouds, and his level is even higher. He definitely didn't plagiarize it. How could others copy the illusion in the old man's eyes? "
Leon's words were echoed by the apprentices. The strange illusion was a symbol of the creator, and no one could replicate it easily.
Leon continued, "I didn't know who made it. So his name is Angor, right? I've already memorized his name. He's an alchemist who deserves to be remembered. "
"By the way, who's Angor?" Because the music box was too shocking, everyone began to pay attention to the maker that David had mentioned earlier.
Since there were many apprentices from Brute Cavern on the stage, Angor's identity was quickly revealed, which shocked everyone again.
"So he's Mister Phantom's student. No wonder his illusions are so special." Everyone quickly remembered Angor's name. It wasn't only because of Phantom Master Sunders, but also because Angor was indeed capable of doing so.
At the same time, Chalon also received Angor's information on the third floor.
Chalon's expression was completely dark. His body was releasing a chilling aura. Even the witches who were always close to him didn't dare to approach him.
"What did you say? Angor is a rising star in the alchemy circle?! And he once touched Mystery?! Why are you only telling me this now?! "Chalon yelled in anger and kicked away the trembling worker on the floor.
When he saw the illusion created by the music box, Chalon knew he had made a mistake.
His Phantom Music Box was nothing compared to the illusion.
If he knew Angor was this strong, he wouldn't have done all those humiliating things. He even offended an alchemist with a bright future!
At this moment, Sharon had completely forgotten about Theron's earnest warning. He had even changed the starting price on his own initiative. He was only doing this because of his own stubbornness.
"Good thing Angor didn't come this time. There's still a chance to mend our relationship," Chalon muttered as he stood up and walked outside.
"Where are you going, mister?" His abandoned companion called out to him.
"Do you think I'm going to stay here? Wait for them to humiliate me?! "Chalon roared and slammed the door open.
The people in the auction house were unaware of what had happened on the third floor. Even if they knew, they would probably sneer. Chalon deserved to be slapped in the face for committing a crime.
While people were discussing Angor's identity, Jellal, who was in VIP Room 7, was frowning.
"Angor? Sunders' new student? Could it be the one I met in Barbie's Restaurant? "Jellal frowned as the image of a child appeared in his mind.
Was it really him?
Jellal knew about the rising star in the alchemy circle, and he also knew that the boy was Sunders' student. But he never thought that Angor was the one he met at Barbie's Restaurant. The boy was too young. But now, Jellal realized that he had been wrong all this time.
A weak young boy who couldn't fight back had grown so strong?
Jellal curled his lips. "Interesting."
