In a lush mountain forest, Angel was walking, stopping and walking as if he was comprehending something, and also seemed to be searching for something.
Mountain mist brushed over the treetops, causing a rustling sound as the leaves swayed.
Angel stopped and listened to the sound of the wind. Suddenly, a familiar feeling passed by his cheek, and he suddenly opened his eyes: "Found it."
Angel followed the wind, jumped up, stepped on it several times, and finally landed on the branches of a tall, umbrella-like dragon's blood tree.
Weaving through the branches and leaves, he soon arrived at the center of the tree cover.
It is so dark here that you can only see it with the faint light. At the intersection of the branches, there is a brown bird's nest. In the bird's nest, a little bird with bright yellow feathers is curled up and nestled in the bird's nest.
It can be seen from the rhythmic expansion of its chest that the little bird is sleeping.
"Finally I found you..." He stretched out his hand and reached into the bird's nest, trying to catch the little bird. But at this moment, he disturbed the sleeping bird. It screamed in fear, flapped its wings and flew away.
Out of the bird's nest.
For the next two minutes, Angel was caught up in the chase.
Fortunately, this mountain forest is not real, it is just an illusion he constructed. The little bird relies on this illusion, so it can never escape.
Finally, not long after, Angel caught the little bird.
When he touched its feathers, with a slight exertion, the little bird turned into a shadow, and then with the little bird as the center, a large amount of mysterious power gushed out.
Angel wandered in the ocean created by the mysterious power for less than half a minute before it dissipated.
This mountain and forest fantasyland was completely reduced to an ordinary fantasyland after the mysterious power disappeared.
"This time there are 27 seconds." Angel recorded this data, and then sighed slightly. Obviously this was an illusion created by himself, but he actually went to find the "mysterious concrete object" in person, and even found it.
Most of the day.
There's nothing we can do about it, the mystery itself has an "unknown" quality.
Even if Angel's illusion only incorporates a sense of "mystery" through his talent, which is not really "mysterious", as long as it is named "mysterious", it must have characteristics that match it.
Otherwise, all the premises are invalid.
It's like Pandora's box or Schrödinger's cat. You never know what's inside until you open it.
Therefore, even if it is an illusion he constructed himself, he must look for this "mysterious concrete object" that is independent of the illusion. Otherwise, if he had grasped the traces of this "little bird" from the beginning, then it would not be possible.
Does it fit with the mysterious 'unknown' properties?
Of course, there is also a situation where he can grasp the whereabouts of the mystery from the beginning, that is, he himself knows the mystery extremely well, or he has become a mysterious alchemist and has come into contact with the mysterious field. Then, no matter how unknown the mystery is, it is nothing more than a mystery.
It was just a thin gauze curtain lowered before his eyes.
A week has passed.
During this period, Angel constructed nearly a hundred illusions, large and small, and saw many "mysterious objects". Dalmatians and small birds were just a few of them, and there were even human-shaped mysterious objects. In addition,
In addition, there are some inanimate objects, such as stones, boxes, books, swings, wooden houses... etc., and even pure elemental objects, such as a wisp of wind, a puddle, a fire...
However, these are actually not difficult to find.
Angel once constructed a snowfield illusion, but he searched for a whole day but could not find the "mysterious concrete object".
If he made a mistake, it would be fine if there was no mysterious concrete object. But he could clearly feel a trace of "mysterious power" leaking out, but he just couldn't find it.
After being stubborn for a long time, in order not to waste time, he gave up the search.
During these nearly a hundred experiments, Angel collected a lot of data, and he had a rough estimate of how long the "mysterious power" lasted in the fantasy realm.
The more rigorous the logic of the illusion, the higher the level of the illusion, and when the 'mysterious concrete object' is found, the mysterious power released will last longer.
Among them, the basic illusion maintains the mysterious power for the shortest time, probably around 5-10 seconds.
The illusion with the nightmare effect can maintain the mysterious power for the longest time, which can reach one minute.
Although one minute is short, in this minute surrounded by mysterious power, as long as you carefully understand it, there will be countless streams of data and information hitting your thinking. These streams of information contain a lot of "mysterious" content.
, and the "mystery" itself is all-encompassing, contradictory, and harmonious... Through these information flows, you can even understand many things by analogy.
However, "enlightenment" is just Angel's own speculation. He speculated that the prerequisite for enlightenment is that you have enough knowledge. But whether this is the case, Angel himself doesn't know.
Because Angel was wandering in the power of mystery and had no sense of enlightenment. He was just like a sponge, absorbing a large amount of the so-called "mysterious" meaning in order to one day reach the mysterious realm.
In fact, what Angel wants most is to create a "mysterious concrete object" that will not disappear, can be constant and last forever. But according to his ability, one minute is already overwhelming.
If one day a "permanent mysterious illusion" is really created, Angel estimates that this can be regarded as a real "mysterious thing", right?
…
In the test of integrating the sense of mystery into the illusion, Angel has basically achieved this.
The next experiment he wants to do is: Can the sense of mystery be combined with alchemy?
He took out a piece of Qingjie wood from the bracelet, which had strong properties and was relatively transparent to energy; this was also a relatively common low-level magic material.
Angel was already very familiar with the techniques of alchemy. In a few seconds, a small miniature garden appeared in his palm.
At the same time, he also integrated a mysterious basic illusion into this small miniature garden. There are only two illusion nodes in total, and so far, the nodes are quite stable.
But whether the sense of mystery is successfully integrated requires further testing.
Because it was just a random creation, he did not set any power source when refining it and needed to actively input energy to activate it.
Angel injected a pure magic power into this small wooden garden.
In an instant, the trial ground turned into a garden filled with colorful flowers. Walking in the garden, petals were flying all over the sky, and the fragrance filled the whole body...
Angel walked around the garden several times, with the exception of flowers and nothing else, but found no "mysterious object". However, he felt a mysterious feeling lingering around him from time to time.
But I can't find it.
Angel was thinking, would he encounter a situation similar to the "Snow Field Fantasy" again?
Just when Angel was about to give up the search, he suddenly remembered something. Hundreds of flowers were blooming here, and the fragrance of the flowers was too strong. Perhaps the "mysterious object" had hidden itself through this confusing method?
Thinking of this, Angel decided to block these aromas.
As he made this decision, the rich fragrance of flowers around him disappeared in an instant. Angel continued to walk around the small garden, and when he reached a certain corner, he suddenly stopped.
A faint sweet fragrance reached his nose.
When he smelled the aroma, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The floral fragrance in the illusion was actually created by Angel by deceiving his sense of smell. In fact, this fragrance is just an illusion. But he has obviously blocked the floral fragrance, but at this time, there is still a fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose. Obviously this is
Something beyond the illusion of this small garden he constructed himself.
Something that transcends the illusion of a small garden must be a mysterious concrete object!
I just don’t know whether the mysterious object this time is the lingering fragrance, or the flower from which the fragrance originates?
Finally, Angel found an inconspicuous little white flower in the grass at the foot of the mountain. This little white flower was the source of the fragrance.
When Angel touched the flower with his finger, it gradually swayed, and the fragrance and mysterious power released doubled from before.
With a little force, the little white flower was crushed into pieces by him. At the same time, a large amount of mysterious power spurted out.
The mysterious power lasted for about 15 seconds and then disappeared.
After the mysterious power disappeared, Angel escaped from the illusion.
According to this experiment, the illusion with a sense of mystery can be attached to the alchemical material and combined. However, the maintenance time is still very short, but overall, it is longer than Angel directly releasing the illusion.
For example, this small garden illusion is a very basic illusion and does not require much logical construction.
Angel initially estimated that the mysterious power could only be maintained for about 5-10 seconds, but in the end it lasted more than 15 seconds, which was far higher than his expectations.
Angel estimates that the Green Silence Wood's transparent conductivity of energy has slightly improved this illusion?
Since you have doubts, you might as well continue the experiment.
In the next few days, he experimented with nearly fifty kinds of magic materials in fourteen categories.
These magic materials are all representative and not advanced.
After Angel's experiments, as long as the magic material has a positive reaction to energy, it can increase the maintenance time of the mysterious power. However, only the magic material that can enhance the energy radiation can maximize the maintenance time of the mysterious power.
, which can roughly double the time.
Once the category of magic materials is determined, the corresponding materials can be selected in a targeted manner during formal alchemy.
After these few days of seclusion experiments, Angel's body is covered with various refined small objects. For example, miniature gardens, monster sculptures, flower and bird ornaments, etc.
These are basically low-end alchemy products, but if you really want to sell them, you can sell dozens of magic crystals each.
But Angel, who is now rich and wealthy, has no intention of doing this business. He just left these things at the trial site and walked towards the alchemy laboratory.
The basic testing before refining is enough, the next step is practice.
