The planning of the new city has been mentioned by Sanders before. Now, Sanders has obtained the "energy level limitation" power. Once the Wilderness of Dreams is opened, there must be a new city to accommodate the entrants.
Therefore, Angel is also very concerned about the planning of the new city recently.
Upon hearing Froude's question, Angel nodded immediately.
Five minutes later, in an upper-level office in the Demonic Laboratory, Froude handed a batch of manuscripts to Angel.
"These design drafts are basically designed by people who specialize in urban planning. I have already seen them, and they are all pretty good." Flood paused: "However, the best design drafts here are not
Designed by this group of people.”
Flood deliberately gave it away and did not specify who designed it.
Angel curiously took over the design drafts and flipped through them one by one. From the first one, Angel was very emotional. It had to be said that professional urban planners would look much better than the ones he randomly pieced together.
Even if the buildings in the design draft are not as professionally drawn as those drawn by full-time painters, from the planning of details and data, one can imagine the momentum after completion.
In each design draft, Angel could imagine a huge city falling from the sky. Some were full of solemn and complicated religious style, some had the majestic momentum of primitive tribes, and some were classical.
The softness and magnificence of literature and art.
Although each has its own characteristics and is very suitable for construction, Angel still felt that something was missing.
The new city he planned to build was prepared for extraordinary people.
The cities in the design draft are undoubtedly classics, but they lack the kind of touching feeling you get when you first see them.
Take the Sky Mechanical City as an example. When you look at it from a distance, you will be shocked by this steel fortress floating in the clouds. When you look at it from a close distance, the shock is not diminished at all. No matter it is positive or negative, it is full of excitement.
It has a strong mechanical style, and because of the relationship with the Holy Land of Alchemy, elements of alchemy are everywhere in Sky Mechanical City. The cold and hard atmosphere also incorporates the meticulousness of alchemy.
It can be said that Angel admires the design of Sky Mechanical City very much, and it is enough to impress all wizards.
There was also the Ember Earth Rock, the first stronghold city that Angel went to when he was in the abyss, which he also admired very much. Although this stronghold city ended in destruction, whenever he recalls it, he will think of the
In the dark mist of the abyss, surrounded by dangers of demons, a smart and powerful wizard built a glorious city surrounded by the sounds of hymns on huge rocks hundreds of meters high to guide the lost.
Direction. This feeling, even just the aftertaste, makes people excited.
Angel does not require the new city to reach this level, but at least it will not fall into the gaudy state.
I flipped through several design drafts in succession. They were all beautiful, but none of them had the innovation that Angel wanted to see.
When Angel was about to turn to the bottom, a warm orange picture suddenly jumped into his eyes.
The previous design drafts were basically in black and white, but one with color suddenly appeared. Angel was stunned for a moment. When he continued to look down, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up.
"This is probably what you wanted to say before, right?"
Flood nodded: "Yes."
After Angel read it carefully, he said directly and firmly: "This is designed by Jon."
The reason why Angel immediately recognized this as Jon's work was because there were some elements in it that would never appear in the wizarding world.
For example, in the lower left corner of the design draft, there is a building similar to a round earth building, with flying eaves and a vermilion paint roof, which has some oriental elements from Jon's hometown. But it only has a little bit of oriental style on the roof, and other local elements are
It is completely fantasy style, and there is even a tall steel tower covered with chimneys, iron ladders along the outer edge, and reaching the ceiling in the middle of the earth building.
This is just a corner of the picture. There are also oriental styles in other places, but they are still so rare that they can be ignored. They are just a little embellishment in the scattered buildings.
The overall design has a bit of Sky Mechanic City flavor.
Iron building, reinforced concrete.
But unlike the pure steam machinery style of Sky Mechanical City, it is more inclined to the punk style of steam fantasy.
Every part, even just the bearings, is exquisite and has a non-mainstream edge style.
Angel looked at this design draft and could basically understand what Jon meant.
Jon should have extremely high confidence in the earth's culture. But he is not a person who decides on a certain style and then goes to death. He is very tolerant of culture, so this aspect is clearly seen in this design draft.
The world's mainstream style.
There is the respect and compromise of doing as the locals do, but there is also the insistence on one's own heritage.
It has a sense of impact, but it does not completely break away from the mainstream aesthetics of the wizarding world. It even tries to change the acceptance of emerging styles by people in the wizarding world through occasional embellishments of earth style.
Jon's tact is evident.
Angel believed that if the cities on Earth were really copied to people in the wizarding world, few people would appreciate them due to cultural gaps and aesthetic inconsistencies. But Jon cleverly avoided these and used embellishments.
The earth style and the core of punk are used to build a city that conforms to the mainstream aesthetics of the wizarding world.
"It's so beautiful." Flood saw this design draft again and couldn't help but sigh: "It's full of strong personal style, and you can feel the designer's strong desire for expression in the scattered architecture!"
"I always thought that Mr. Jon had the highest achievement in music. I didn't expect that Mr. Jon's knowledge is so extensive."
Angel raised his eyebrows: "That's natural, after all, he is my enlightenment mentor."
If it weren't for Jon's enlightenment education to Angel, perhaps Angel would just be a little nobleman who is mediocre to ordinary people.
Angel handed this design draft to Flood: "Since we all like this one, let's use it as a blueprint for the design of the new city."
Flood naturally nodded in agreement. Just a sketch already had such an eye-catching feeling. If it were actually built, the shock would probably be even stronger.
Flood: "I will find time to discuss the details with Mr. Jon. As for the implementation at that time..."
Angel: "It's still too early to implement it. When the time comes, it will only be a prototype. The extraordinary people will do the subsequent improvements themselves."
After confirming the design draft, Angel stayed in the Wilderness of Dreams for another night, mainly studying the power tree and researching evil spirits.
By the time Angel left the Wilderness of Dreams, it was already the next morning.
Angel fell asleep sitting at his desk yesterday, with his chin propped up on the back of his hand. He rubbed his numb hand and then buttoned up his loose cuffs.
When the sorting was completed, Angel planned to sort out the transformation data, but before he could start, he heard a noise coming from outside the window.
Angel walked to the window, opened the curtain, and pushed the window open.
The golden sunlight shines through the big trees outside the window and onto the table, leaving a layer of mottled reflections.
Angel stood by the window, looking at the source of the sound under the breeze.
But in the yard, Grea and Charlie were talking animatedly about something. Charlie was no longer as restrained as before, her expression was completely relaxed, and the corners of her mouth raised a mischievous smile from time to time.
With naughty eyes and darting around, Greya didn't dare to play tricks, but Housekeeper No. 1 came into her sight.
From time to time, she flirts with Butler No. 1, completely ignoring that the other person is just a man with magic eyes. After teasing, Charlie said word by word in a malicious accent: "I lied to you~"
Housekeeper No. 1 has no idea what Charlie is doing, but Charlie interferes with its work from time to time, which makes it quite irritated.
Greya didn't care, but encouraged her.
Just when Charlie was about to continue acting unscrupulously, Angel frowned, flew out, and landed in front of Charlie.
"The owner of Butler No. 1 is my mentor. Are you planning to let my mentor stop you from going crazy?" Angel said coldly.
As soon as Charlie saw Angel, the idea of making a prank arose in her mind, but she immediately stopped.
Angel ignored her, but bypassed Charlie and came to Greya: "It seems that you and Charlie get along well?"
"Her character is very interesting, isn't it?" Greya narrowed her eyes with a smile, and said in a voice that only they could hear: "She is so naughty that people want to see if Sanders will fight against her.
Give the water-marked witch some face."
Greia's expression was that she was worried about the world being in chaos, which gave Angel a headache.
But soon, Greya changed her expression: "Actually, I was joking before, but one thing is true, Charlie is indeed very interesting."
"By the way, I'm talking to Charlie about the Rising Stars Competition. Are you interested in listening?"
