"The Goddess of the Sea," Varley repeated softly with a look of realization on her face. It was as if he was once again immersed in that music, as well as that wondrous dream.
Varley couldn't tell whether it was an illusion, a dream, or another world.
Let's just assume it was a dream. She lost all her memories in the dream and became a mortal who was looking for a miracle in the middle of the sea.
For the first time in her life, Varley felt fear toward the sea. At the same time, she also gained a better understanding of what it meant to be a mortal facing the waves of the sea.
She still couldn't find a miracle in the end. But before she died in the dream, she vaguely saw a glowing skirt behind the waves.
"So that's the Goddess of the Sea?" Varley muttered to herself.
Not only was Vally sighing, but the surrounding mermaid knights were also talking about their experiences in the dream. Almost all of the mermaid knights didn't see the Goddess of the Sea, and many of them didn't even see the hem of her skirt or a strand of her hair.
However, after experiencing that dream, they were all very certain that the Sea Goddess might be by their side.
Angor listened to the mermaids' conversations and realized that the second time the music came out, these mermaids were dragged into the alchemy illusion.
Angor looked at Toby curiously and asked if Toby entered the illusion as well. Toby didn't answer. Toby didn't enter the illusion at all.
Could it be that the alchemy illusion could only be entered by humans or humanoid creatures? Angor pondered.
"Sir, was the world created by the music just a dream?" Varley suddenly asked, "Or is it the Goddess of the Sea's domain?"
"Why do you think it's the Goddess of the Sea's domain?"
Wally said, "After I experienced that amazing journey, I found that … I found that I seemed to be more intimate with the sea. My control over the sea was also stronger than before."
As her voice fell, she let out a soft moan, and a mist immediately gathered around her.
The water element in her body was as active as an Elementalist's apprentice.
Angor raised an eyebrow. "Looks like I've made something amazing."
Angor was also surprised by Varley's sudden increase in affinity with water. But after giving it some thought, he found it reasonable. During the process, he felt as if he had become part of the sea, which allowed him to get closer to the laws of nature.
When he came out of the illusion, he noticed that he felt closer to the sea than before.
That was why he could clearly sense the energy ripples at the bottom of the sea.
Angor believed that if he could learn another branch of Elementalist's cantrips, he would progress much faster than before.
Angor muttered to himself. If Varley and his intuition were right, this music box he made must be something incredible.
Something that could improve one's affinity with water and shorten the time required to learn another branch was rare even among high-tier alchemy products.
What he didn't know was that the music box also helped Jebra to break through a bottleneck in a short amount of time. If word of this got out, it was likely that all the Magi of the Sea or those of the Water Element would go crazy over this.
Varley also heard Angor's words. "So this isn't a divine realm? Is it just an alchemy item made by a wizard?"
Angor nodded. "It's not a divine realm or a dream. It's just an illusion created by an alchemy item. "
Varley's expression turned gloomy.
As a mermaid, she believed in the God of the Sea. When she found out that the place she thought was the Divine Realm was just a man-made illusion, Valli found it hard to accept.
"I don't know if there's such a thing as a god's domain in this world, but I'm not sure if it's real or not. But I'm still a human at heart. I don't think a divine realm can be achieved by a human. "
Of course, Angor didn't believe in gods. Or rather, any wizard who pursued the truth would never believe in gods.
What he said to Varley was just a casual consolation.
Varley was a little surprised. The wizard was right. Gods were always high and mighty. If even humans could reach the divine realm, wouldn't that make them gods too?
"Do you have any other questions? If not, I'm going to leave now. "
"Sir Sorcerer, can you let me enter the illusion once more? I want to listen to the music again. I really like it, "Varley said.
"That illusion … I can't do that."
Hearing this answer, Vale's expression became somewhat regretful.
"However, there's no harm in revisiting the music." Angor slowly lifted his gloved right hand and pointed at the air with his fingertips. Soon, the illusion of a space tunnel appeared in the air.
Under Wally's surprised gaze, a group of pink, fairy-like teacup men appeared one after another from the shadows.
These teacups all had different patterns on them, which made them look like dreamy girls. Their arms and legs were as long as matchsticks, and they carried all kinds of musical instruments. There were even teacups sitting on benches or leaning on black pianos.
"They're the teacups. They played the music just now." While explaining, Angor reached out a finger to tease a group of sleepy teacups floating above his head.
As he did so, the nightmare aura in his right hand filled the teacups' bodies. The sleepy teacups suddenly regained their vitality.
Wa Li looked at the teacup band, and her eyes flashed with surprise and envy. As the only woman in the room, she couldn't help but feel excited when she saw these fairy-tale creatures.
At the same time, she couldn't help but admire Mister Wizard's wondrous tricks.
"No wonder I heard a lot of music. They're such cute little things." Varley couldn't help but exclaim.
"Cute little things?"
As more and more nightmare aura was released from his right hand, the concentration of nightmare aura in his Nightmare Domain increased. The teacup band was no longer as fragile as they used to be. They could even withstand a level-2 apprentice's cantrip without getting hurt. They could even bounce the cantrip back. They could be considered deadly weapons.
If Varley knew their true colors, she probably wouldn't call them cute anymore.
"It's been so long since I saw the queen … I want to go back …"
"It's so nice to have Lord Shava with us …"
"Long live Lord Shava!"
The teacups' childish voices spread out from their mouths. Fortunately, their voices were more like emotions that mortals couldn't sense.
After ordering the naughty teacups to keep quiet, Angor pulled out one of the teacups and asked it to lead the band to play "Sea Goddess".
As the music began, beautiful music slowly spread out.
Last night, the song sounded like a goddess who was bathing in the moonlight while the sea cheered for her.
Listening to it now, although it was less impassioned, the degree of tranquility and elegance was even better. Angor could almost see the side of a goddess who was welcoming the rising sun with a holy smile.
This kind of movement and stillness was just like this unchanging ocean. It had moments when it roared and howled, but also moments when it was calm and deep.
The same song was played in a different way, but they all told the same story.
Everyone was completely immersed in the music. Angor used to listen to it a lot, so he was quite immune to it.
The name of the song was indeed "Sea Goddess". He found it while browsing through his hologram tablet on The Limpet. He was amazed at first, but the sound quality of the tablet wasn't as good as a live performance, so he taught the teacups how to play the song.
Last night, when he was refining the alchemy illusion, he actually planned to use Valerie's chant. However, he felt that although Valerie's chant was good, it lacked the changes of the sea. That was why he came up with this song.
And as it turned out, he made the right choice. Not only did the song fit perfectly, but it also fit the image perfectly.
The song came to an end.
When Varley opened her eyes again, Angor was nowhere to be seen. The beautiful flying boat in the sky had already left. Clearly, he had already left.
Vale felt a little regretful. She looked at the Mermaid Knights around her and said softly, "Let's dive."
After Varley followed the turtle down, Jebra, who hadn't done anything yet, slowly swam toward them.
…
Of course, Angor didn't know that Jebra was the one behind Varley's question. He was currently sitting on his Gondola and studying the item in his hand.
The music box that he named "Ocean Rhythm".
The music box looked like a mermaid hugging a tower-shaped conch shell.
The shell was as big as the mermaid's body.
The mermaid was also exquisitely sculpted. It looked like Varley was the original model. Also, the transparent gauze dress proved that the mermaid was a Roguelike. Angor was using the Starry Sky Gauze, which always shone brightly at all times. Especially in the dark, it was especially bright.
The mermaid wore a garland on her head, and her face was pressed against the shell with her eyes closed. It seemed that she was listening to the "sound of the sea" coming from the shell.
The shape of the music box was beautiful. Not to mention the dazzling starry sky veil, just the thin sea fog outside the music box was pleasing to the eye.
Tulu, who was sitting in front of Angor, was also amazed by the beautiful music box.
Angor was also satisfied with the appearance of the music box.
However, compared to its appearance, he was more satisfied with its properties.
His eyes were still glowing when he used Narda's Vision. The "server" in his mind space finally displayed the specific information about Ocean Rhythm.
"So this is something I've never achieved before …" Angor sighed in relief.
"It's … a high-level alchemy creation!"
