p? Angel gave the Frost Moon Pendant to Sanders.
Currently, he remains in the bracelet, and the only thing with mysterious meaning is this pendant. Anyway, he couldn't find the mysterious object, so he might as well leave it to Sanders and see if he could get the answer from him.
Sanders experimented, and when the boundless snowfield illusion appeared in the study, he immediately noticed the mysterious meaning hidden in the air.
However, before going to look for the mysterious object, he frowned.
"Did you have a purpose in mind when you created this snowfield fantasy?"
What is your purpose when creating a fantasy? Angel shook his head, "I was experimenting with various mysterious objects and constructed them randomly."
"That is to say, you have not thought about any other purpose when you constructed the illusion?" Sanders asked again.
Angel recalled his thoughts when he was refining the Frost Moon Pendant. It seemed that there were really no other distracting thoughts: "When I first constructed the illusion, my only thought was that the snowfield illusion should give people a desolate feeling. Others, I didn’t think much about it.”
Sanders looked at the fantasy land of snow in front of him and repeatedly pondered the "bleak feeling" that Angel said.
In this vast white and empty snowfield, there is a feeling of desolation, but it is not the main axis of this illusion.
The first feeling that this fantasy gave Sanders was not desolate, but——
The withering away of life.
The vast snowfield is often a restricted area for life. But even so, you can still feel the faint vitality in the snowfield, such as the buds hidden under the snowfield waiting for the next spring, the slow-moving fish under the ice lake, and the plants that are not afraid of the cold and still stick to their true nature... these are all It was the life on the snowfield, but in the illusion created by Angel, Sanders did not feel it.
Too lifeless.
But Angel himself said that when constructing this fantasy, he did not actually set the tone for it. So why did he think that this fantasy had another theme, and it still used "the melody of death" as the theme of the fantasy?
Sanders didn't know for the time being, but he vaguely felt that maybe this was the main reason why mysterious concrete objects could not be found in the snowfield illusion.
Sanders continued to search for the mysterious objects in the snowy illusion. Angel originally wanted to tell him about the manifestations of other mysterious objects, but Sanders kept thinking. He did not disturb Sanders, but exited the illusion alone, returned to his bedroom, and refined the "Monument Valley exclusive illusion" promised to Sanders.
Since it was to be refined for Sanders, Angel naturally did not dare to neglect it. From the appearance design and style positioning, he began to rack his brains.
Sanders is a typical old noble. According to Angel's idea, it should be enough to directly refine things such as canes, accessories, etc. according to the preferences of traditional nobles.
But after thinking about it carefully, Sanders and Greya are still different.
Greia has her own pursuit of refined appearance - exaggerated luxury. Therefore, when Angel was refining, he did not consider whether the appearance should be connected with the illusion inside. He only needed to make the appearance more luxurious.
However, if it were Sanders, given his character, he wouldn't like things that are different from what they seem, right?
For example, he refined a gorgeous obsidian cane, but the illusion inside it turned out to be a puzzle game. No matter how you look at it, it’s awkward.
Angel thought for a while, but dismissed the idea and decided to refine an appearance that matched "Monument Valley".
After Angel played the small game Monument Valley, he discovered that at the end of each chapter, the protagonist Ada would return a corresponding geometric object from the hat. Putting aside the obscure plot, the gameplay of the entire game is based on the themes of "geometry" and "contradictory space".
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Angel decided to refine a shape that combined the concepts of "contradiction" and "geometry". This is more suitable for the fantasy world of Monument Valley.
Combining the concepts of contradiction and geometry, strange patterns emerged in Angel's mind.
Such as Penrose ladder, Klein bottle, Escher cube, Penrose triangle, etc...
Of course, there are many geometric patterns similar to the Black Forest illusion, blind spot shift, devil's tuning fork, etc. However, due to the difficulty of construction and the difference between the plane and the three-dimensional, Angel eliminated them one by one, and in the end only a few patterns remained.
Among these patterns, Angel's final choice was.
- Möbius strip.
This is a pattern that can very well represent the concept of geometry. At the same time, it is also very similar to the overall style of Monument Valley. Moreover, this pattern alone can remind people of many geometric and mathematical things.
Although the construction pattern has been determined, directly making a Möbius strip does not seem to be beautiful.
Angel thought for a while and decided to wrap a transparent geometric body around the Möbius strip and finally make it into an ornament.
With a clear idea, Angel can refine it very quickly.
It takes less than two hours from determining the refining shape to selecting materials and finally making the finished product.
The Möbius strip is quietly suspended in the transparent rhombus with crystal blue lines. It uses one corner of the rhombus as a supporting point to form a base.
On the whole, this ornament looks complicated, but the actual finished product is simple and lively, and at first glance, it can give people a sense of distance and surprise about geometry and mathematics.
Moreover, its shape is made of a diamond-shaped shell, which looks very much like a "monument" and is similar to Monument Valley.
Angel was very satisfied with this ornament and carved his own logo on the base.
As for the name of this ornament, Angel originally wanted to call it the Möbius Ring, but Möbius was not from the wizarding world and it would be troublesome to explain. He thought about it and decided to use the "Monument of the Strange Ring" as the name. its name.
After refining the Monument of the Strange Ring, Angel had nothing to do. He didn't know what was going on with Sanders and couldn't bother him, so he simply continued to accumulate the information needed for the Eye of Narda. Come.
Tick tick tick——
The minute hand of the wall clock on the wall shifts slightly. When the minute hand turned once and the hour hand moved one step, Sanders's voice came to Angel's ears.
"Come to the study."
For some reason, Angel felt that there was some suppressed emotion in Sanders' voice, giving him a strange feeling.
After arriving in the study, Sanders had already put away the fantasy of the snowfield. He was sitting at the desk, writing something down quickly with the pen in his hand. The Frost Moon Necklace is hung on the Falcon Demon Ornament that Angel originally refined.
"Sit down first and wait for me for a moment." Sanders spoke quickly without raising his head.
While Sanders was writing furiously, Angel's eyes once again focused on the falcon demon ornament. In fact, from his current point of view, this Falcon Demon ornament is not too exquisite and seems a bit shoddy.
But Sanders seemed to like it very much and kept it on his desk.
It seems that Sanders does have a deep love for Falcon Demon.
Angel thought, how about refining a Falcon Demon ornament another day? After all, if other wizards come to Sanders' study and see this ornament, the price will drop.
Angel had even constructed the image of the Falcon in his mind. At this time, Sanders finally put down his pen.
When he raised his head, Angel was stunned by his first words.
"Remember not to arbitrarily integrate mysterious power into illusions in the future."
Sanders's expression was rare and solemn, which made Angel unconsciously put away his frivolous attitude.
"After the mysterious object is identified, a huge flow of information will instantly burst out to surround you, right?" Sanders did not explain the previous sentence, but asked Angel.
"Yes." Angel nodded. Suddenly he remembered something and looked at Sanders in surprise: "Mentor, have you found the mysterious object in the snowfield illusion?"
Sanders did not answer, but directly used his mental power to pick up the Frost Moon Pendant and put it in Angel's hand.
"See for yourself."
When the snowfield illusion restarted, although it was still a vast white snowfield, Angel no longer felt any mystery. Apparently, Sanders had found the mysterious object.
"Teacher, what is the mysterious object in the snowfield illusion? Is it some snow slag?" Angel asked curiously.
"Feel for yourself whether there are any changes in the snowfield illusion."
With this question, Angel felt the illusion of the snowfield again... The snowfield was vast, with a few snowflakes falling from time to time. It seemed to be the same as it was not long ago, except that there was no mystery.
No, Angel suddenly frowned.
There is one thing that is different. It seems that the snowfield illusion looks a little more alive than before and less lifeless?
Angel told him what he had discovered, but he was not sure whether he was right. Even if the snowfield illusion lacks a sense of lifelessness, it probably has nothing to do with the mysterious meaning, right?
Sanders: "Of course it does matter. The missing thing is the mysterious concrete thing you are looking for and can't find."
Angel was stunned, didn't he feel a little less lifeless?
Could it be that this lifeless feeling is actually a mysterious concrete object? Isn't this incredible? A feeling can be turned into a mysterious object?
"You're wrong. It's not a feeling, it's a concept. The mysterious object is a concept called 'withering'." As he spoke, Sanders suddenly raised his hand, and ripples of energy emerged from his palm.
In the blink of an eye, Angel felt the lifeless aura.
The destination of this energy ripple was a fragrant fragrant orchid on the balcony. When the energy ripples touched the fragrant orchid, the flowers immediately withered and the grass and leaves withered.
"This is……"
"This is withering." Sanders closed his eyes and said after a while: "This is also the reason why I asked you to carefully integrate the mysterious meaning into the illusion, because this withering technique is what I learned from that mysterious concrete object. I realized it.”
