"One more thing." Sanders continued to comment: "You build the fantasy area of Witch Town here, and supplement it with such a strong sense of the nightmare world. In fact, you want to make people feel terror and awe of fear.
Sense. Am I right?"
Angel nodded as if he was pounding garlic.
To be precise, when he was constructing the fantasy, he conceived a theme for each area, and the theme of Witch Town was indeed "awe of fear".
"The idea is very good." Sanders affirmed at first, but then changed the subject to cold criticism:
"But according to your standards, it can only make mortals and a very small number of weak-willed apprentices have this sense of 'awe of fear'. For wizards, this cannot meet the standard. At most, it makes people feel...
Some are new, others are useless.”
"Even a slightly more mature apprentice, relying on your deliberate manipulation of emotions, would not have been able to detect anything fishy, but in the end, you saw through this illusion. This is your failure."
What Sanders said exactly pointed out Angel's own blind spot.
Greya also experienced the illusion of Witch Town, and she also understood what Angel wanted to express, but like Sanders, she came to this conclusion with a condescending look down; rather than actually experiencing a big surprise
After the great horror, a conclusion emerged spontaneously.
Although the conclusions are the same, the conclusions are drawn in different ways and the effects of the illusion are also different.
If you can gain understanding after experiencing it, then this illusion can be considered to have a real effect.
After Angel understood this, he also understood why Sanders was disappointed.
As far as the fantasy of Witch Town alone is concerned, although the effect looks good, it does not perfectly achieve the "theme".
"There are two solutions. Either strengthen your ability to control emotions so that your emotional tolerance exceeds that of everyone else. Or strengthen your ability to construct illusions so that others cannot break it even if they find it is an illusion.
."
Sanders calmly stated the solution, and then strode to the lonely hut.
Based on his familiarity with Angel and his visit to Witch Town, he roughly guessed Angel's bad taste. Sure enough, in the oil painting of the hut, he found the platform to leave.
The two of them passed directly through the oil painting and entered the platform in the painting.
During this process, Angel lowered his head and reflected on his mistake, but did not notice the slight curve in the corner of Sanders's mouth.
Although Sanders' words were harsh, he was still quite satisfied in his heart.
Although he directly pointed out the flaws in Angel's illusion, in fact, looking back, Angel had no murderous intentions in constructing this illusion, and it was simply to satisfy Greya's request. Therefore, even if it appears
A little flaw, but as long as Greya's requirements are met, it's not a big mistake.
His original words were to examine Angel's understanding of the illusion. On this point alone, Angel had given him a satisfactory answer. Not only was there no big problem with the logic of the illusion, but also, from this point of view, Angel had already given him a satisfactory answer.
The fantasy construction of the series, including the use of "painting" as a passage and the setting of entering the platform, all show Angel's unbridled imagination.
If the illusion system lacks imagination, it is like a bird missing its wings and a fish missing its fins.
So, no matter from which point of view, Angel has done a good job. However, how could Sanders, who never likes to praise, say words of appreciation easily? He must be very picky and use a magnifying glass to find out.
dust.
Along the way, Sanders also saw another layer of Angel's fantasy setting.
He met some characters wandering in the fantasy world. These characters looked like living individuals, but they were just some key clues in each area. Sometimes these clues were a thought-provoking story, and sometimes they also highlighted the
The theme of the area.
This kind of fantasy that relies on clues to advance layer by layer seems to have no merits worth mentioning. But Angel's construction skills are extremely high, it is like watching other people's lives and extracting the most exciting stories of other people's lives.
Come out and place it in a fantasy world, allowing people to gain enlightenment while watching.
This feeling is a bit like when Sanders reads an interesting novel. After reading the novel, he will close the page and slowly recall the insights and inspirations that the plot in the novel brought him.
Angel has presented the most exquisite part of the novel in a fantasy way. And the way of presentation is to let people take the initiative to experience other people's lives. In this intertwining process, they can clear away the fog bit by bit and find the characters.
the story behind.
Sanders did not criticize or praise Angel's idea and construction, but he recognized it in his heart.
If you have free time or a busy break, it is a good enjoyment to understand the enlightenment brought by the story as a witness and a bystander.
In Sanders' eyes, this is a very creative idea and a very high-end pastime. As a former aristocrat, even if he has become a true wizard, he sometimes sips fine wine and
Reading a novel on a sunny afternoon.
Whether it is a novel written by a mortal or a wizard, it is a way of entertainment to pass the time.
The illusions created by Angel are also a very interesting and advanced form of entertainment. Sanders now probably understands why Greya asked Angel to refine the illusions.
In the following time, Sanders also followed Greya's example and took a quick look at other areas.
The more he watched, the more surprised Sanders felt. Unknowingly, Angel's attainments in illusions had slowly reached such a high level.
Angel's strength seems a bit watered down because he can absorb the breath of the nightmare world to practice quickly. But his level of illusion and illusion concepts are actually self-taught. He can reach such a level in just a few years.
That's why Sanders was surprised.
Among these fantasy areas, the one where Sanders stayed the longest was Monument Valley.
In this area of Monument Valley, there is no logic at all from the basic concept of fantasy. There are strange building blocks, strange geometry, and weird colors.
Sanders shook his head frequently at first, but when he actually walked into Monument Valley, he found that it was an extremely interesting place.
A shadow between reality and illusion appeared in front of him.
This shadow corresponds to all the weird buildings in the valley.
As Sanders entered the valley, a plot character named Ada also walked into the valley.
Sanders is now going to use the phantom in front of him to get Ada to leave this weird valley.
"Am I in charge of the fate and movements of this Ada?" Sanders raised his eyebrows and played with a strange feeling.
Every time he operates, the buildings in the valley will undergo drastic changes, either sinking, standing, or showing a 180-degree reversal.
And the strange girl named Ada followed the changes in the valley and began a journey across the mountains.
Sanders didn't understand the operation at all at first. In his eyes, there were two completely disconnected roads in the shadow, tens of meters apart. There was no other path to be found. How should Ada cross the road?
past?
Sanders even thought about flying up and taking Ada into the next path. But this was obviously not the answer to this puzzle.
Yes, Sanders thinks this is a puzzle and all he has to do is decipher it.
Sanders looked back at Angel and found that he was suppressing a smile, as if he was excited about being able to stump Sanders.
However, Angel forgot that when he played Monument Valley on the holographic tablet, he also got stuck for a long time...
Monument Valley is actually a decrypted mini-game on a holographic tablet. Angel found it quite interesting, so he placed it as a small easter egg in the fantasy world.
Sanders soon discovered the answer to the puzzle. Visual dislocation, slightly deflecting the shadow in front of him, the broken bridge became a passage from another perspective. This is probably a kind of thinking pattern, and this kind of
Decryption is a way to break the fixed thinking pattern.
"Interesting." Sanders muttered silently in his heart.
After cracking the first puzzle and understanding the mechanism, the rest will become much easier.
From beginning to end, Sanders stood in front of the valley without moving. He just manipulated the shadow in front of him to let Ada run out of the valley in front of him. However, after Allen left the valley, the valley in front of them
Great changes occurred again, a pink castle rose from the ground, and Ada walked out of the gate of the castle.
The shadow in front of Sanders also turned into a castle. Obviously, this is another new decryption.
Sanders did not continue, but left Monument Valley with Angel. His leaving did not mean that he did not like Monument Valley, but simply felt that it was time to stop and go to the Mystic Mountain.
Sanders was very surprised by the weird decrypted fantasy of Monument Valley. He had no idea how many wonderful ideas Angel had in his head.
Moreover, he still had some doubts about Monument Valley, such as a monument he saw when he entered Monument Valley.
There is a sentence written on it: "This is a journey to find forgiveness."
So, Ada’s adventure actually hides an unknown story?
Angel was still snickering until he was sitting on the cat bus, but Sanders said expressionlessly: "The illusion of Monument Valley has too many flaws, from color, architecture to unnatural logic...etc.
They all have problems.”
Sanders spent the next few minutes criticizing this illusion.
When the criticism reached the point where Angel himself began to doubt his life, Sanders suddenly changed the topic and said seemingly naturally: "When you go back, you can refine a fantasy about Monument Valley and give it to me, and I will create it again."
