For example, can we try to block the senses or deceive them?
Putting aside the spirit of nightmare, Angel's talent for illusion is also very special. When he originally created "Journey to the Sky", he did not take the initiative to incorporate anything into it, but the final effect was such that even Mirror Princess was attracted by that "Journey to the Sky". The land in the clouds is moved by the stagnant breath of time.
After that experience, Angel's understanding of illusions seemed to have been enlightened and greatly improved. He could block other people's sense of direction and space at his fingertips.
Later, he came into contact with "The Mystery of Nightmare" and used the power of nightmare more easily and conveniently, but began to neglect his own talent.
Angel doesn't know if this is putting the cart before the horse, but he has to say that the power of nightmare is indeed very convenient to use. However, it seems that it cannot be combined with alchemy at present, and he doesn't know whether it is because he does not have a deep understanding of nightmare or whether it is because of his lack of understanding of nightmare. The power of nightmare itself cannot be melted into alchemy, which remains to be studied by him in the future.
What he has to do now is to work on the illusion itself, hoping to find a breakthrough.
Three more days later, Angel looked at a feather earring in his hand, with some hesitation on his face.
This is the result of his three days of training. He can indeed use illusions to deceive other people's touch without mixing in nightmares, but this is limited to people whose power level is similar to him, or lower than him. In other words, , he can only deceive and deceive the perception of second-level apprentices and below at best. This is completely incomparable with nightmares, but the only better thing is that this illusion can be integrated into alchemy.
Under such circumstances, Angel still made the earrings.
It's true that the theme is Toby, but this earring can't be fully effective on Greya. Unless Greya takes the initiative to let go of her spirit, she can feel the touch.
Overall, Angel's refining was considered a failure. Alchemy items that require the user's active cooperation to release their mental barriers must be a failure for him.
But he had no choice. As time passed day by day, he also learned from the mute servant's mouth that Shadow had already obtained Naga and left first.
Desperate to return home, and having no other option, Angel could only temporarily refine this failed work.
However, Angel has put a lot of ingenuity into this earring. Whether it is the design of the shape or the arrangement of the illusion, Angel has paid several times more attention than usual. He only hopes that from these details, Angel can Winning back some points on the corner.
When he found Greia in the lobby on the first floor with this earring, his head was lowered, looking stunned.
When Greya saw Angel's expression, she already had a guess in her mind.
Because Greya was not familiar with alchemy, Angel groaned for a long time before he explained clearly the problems that arose during the refining.
Greya pondered for a moment: "I remember the illusion you created a few days ago. I can touch the reality."
Angel could not tell the existence of the "Nightmare Realm". He could only say: "This is a special illusion application method taught to me by Teacher Sanders, but after experimenting, I found that it cannot be integrated into alchemy. I think
We tried many methods, but in the end we could only create this fantasy prop by deceiving the brain’s nerve receptors.”
"But because of my level restrictions, what I refine can only deceive apprentices who are at the same level as me, or who are lower than me."
Angel's words were mixed with some academic terms that Grea couldn't understand, and she didn't ask for a clear explanation. After all, the knowledge overlapped.
"In other words, the items you refined now are of no use to me?"
Angel nodded, then shook his head: "If you take the initiative to let go of your mind and perceive the illusion, you can also feel it."
After Angel finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked dejected.
Letting go of mental barriers to perceive illusions is obviously an impossible multiple-choice question for most wizards.
"I know this is a failure, but I have tried my best." Angel said.
A failure? Greya didn't say anything. In fact, from her perspective, Angel had already met all the requirements she had put forward. It was said to be a failure just because Angel set high standards.
Greya understood what Angel meant. His wish was something he refined himself and could be used by both apprentices and formal wizards.
But this is a false proposition in itself.
Props made by wizard apprentices can be used by formal wizards. This is an extremely rare experience for most apprentice-level alchemists. Even every time they make one, the whole world can celebrate and beat drums and sing. They
It is normal to not be able to make props that official wizards can use.
In Angel's case, the opposite situation occurred.
Greya sighed slightly in her heart. Seeing Angel's squirming and uncomfortable look, she felt that Angel was really sad for his failure.
She could sense that Angel did not have high demands on himself, but simply that he had too few contacts with alchemists, which led him to underestimate himself too much.
If this was another alchemist, he would probably have started talking with his tail raised.
When Angel saw that Grea had been silent, he carefully raised his head and found that Grea's face was expressionless, which made him even more uneasy. He thought for a while and said: "Sir, I admit that my current strength is not enough.
, but I promise that as long as it can meet your requirements one day in the future, I will refine it again and deliver it to your door personally."
Angel did not propose the option of 'returning Toby' because he also knew very well that if he proposed to return Toby to Grea at this time, then he would truly 'objectify' Toby.
Angel waited anxiously for Grea's answer.
After a while, Greya raised the corners of her lips: "Okay, I agree. But I also have a request."
"any request?"
"You don't need to take the initiative to refine it. I will decide the refining time."
Angel nodded and agreed to the condition.
Grea originally thought that Angel had met her conditions. She had actually planned to accept the fantasy props refined by Angel, but she did not expect to earn a promise of additional refinements.
She was very optimistic about Angel's future, especially his talent in alchemy. Maybe he would be promoted to master alchemist without waiting too long, which meant that she had earned the promise of being a "future master alchemist" in vain.
"Take out what you refined."
Angel had been explaining the shortcomings of his refining before, but he never took out the feather earrings. It was not until Greya took the initiative that he suddenly remembered this.
He carefully took out the feather earrings, put them in the palm of his hand and handed them to Greya.
The color of the feathers is silvery white, and the carvings on them are meticulous. Each line is completely modeled after Toby's feathers, and the gentle curves bring a strange beauty.
In terms of appearance alone, Greya is very satisfied.
She took the feather earrings and did not test the illusion immediately. Instead, she smiled and said: "I'm very satisfied with the appearance. As for the effect... it doesn't matter if I'm satisfied or not. I'm waiting for you to surprise me in the future."
Angel smiled sheepishly.
Greya put the feather earrings in her pocket and said, "Show me Toby."
Angel was in a daze, and hurriedly took Toby out of his breast pocket and handed it to Grea.
Greya stroked Toby's feathers gently, and after a while she said: "Toby will be looking after you from now on."
"My current situation is not suitable for taking care of Toby." Greya sighed with some emotion: "My body was left in the nightmare world, and my enemies have figured out that I am not dead. Toby following me will make it more dangerous."
"Lady Greia, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Toby." Angel said this solemnly.
"I believe you." Greia smiled slightly and handed Toby back to Angel with deep reluctance. "You should be leaving Castle Black soon, right?"
Angel nodded.
Greya took out a space soft bag and a golden card from her pocket: "Take these two things. There are some soul beads in the space soft bag. If Toby goes through another disaster in the future, he should use them. As for
This card is Felicia's compensation for you, the golden VIP card of Butterfly Tavern. She was rude last time, I hope you don't mind too much."
As for the "last rudeness", Greya made it clear. Just as Isabel said, not listening is the best choice. Angel happened not to talk about soul-related matters, so after accepting the things, he did not
Say more.
"Let's go." Greya looked at Toby again, full of nostalgia: "I hope that the next time we meet, both Toby and you can surprise me."
Angel nodded, bowed deeply to Greia, turned around and left.
All of Angel's things were contained in the bracelet, so he left Castle Black directly and walked away along the winding path.
Greya stood in front of the window sill, watching Angel's figure disappear from sight.
After confirming that Angel had left the inner world, she sighed, sat on the sofa in the living room, and remained silent for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, Felicia walked out of the darkness: "If you are really reluctant, you can hand Toby over to me. At least I can guarantee his safety."
Grea glanced at Felicia, shook her head and chuckled: "Come on, Toby is following you, and you don't even need to chase him away. He will run away on his own, so he might as well leave it to Angel. I can see it.
He really loves Toby, and Toby is very happy to be around him."
"But if you hand it over to an apprentice, are you really relieved?"
"It doesn't matter, don't worry, I'm just betting on a future, Toby's future, Angel's future...and my future." Greya's voice became lower and lower, and only she could hear the last sentence.
Felicia nodded and did not continue on this topic. Instead, she sat down next to Grea and took out a glass of light wine to drink slowly.
Greia took out the earrings refined by Angel from her pocket, and with a little expectation of the unknown, input magic power to activate it.
