There are two customization directions proposed by Onassis: one is to refine a weapon; the other is to refine any prop related to philosophy.
Angel chose the second customization direction.
It's not because he is so passionate about "philosophy", it's just that Onassis put forward too many obviously conflicting requirements for the refined weapons, such as "colorful black", "both restrained and grand", " "A little roundness in the sharpness" and so on, the requirements made by Onassis are just trivial.
Although Antonio said that these unreasonable demands should not be ignored, after all, it is customized for the Rising Star Competition champion. If you really want to refine it, you still have to give it more thought.
However, Angel was too lazy to waste time and energy studying Onassis's requirements for this weapon, so he chose the second option.
The second one seems very simple, with only one sentence. But when it comes to actual refining, most alchemists are probably confused, because "philosophy" is a broad concept, and the content it contains is too broad. It can span from nature to humanities, from the laws of all things to the constants. The universe, as long as the philosophical thinker's mind is wide enough and his vision is far enough, all of this can be called philosophy.
Because of this, it is too difficult to refine related props for such a great concept word.
Other alchemists will probably think about it for a long time, and then find a small or large entry point to refine a prop related to a certain type of philosophy.
But Angel is different. The biggest difference between him and other alchemists is that he can create alchemical illusions, and use the power of nightmare to blend certain "concepts" into the illusions, making people understand and feel them.
For example, in Angel's refining fantasy, a knife mark, an extinguished fire, and a few drops of dried blood on the wall can all make people feel strange and unconsciously remind them of many stories. In fact, this is a kind of construction of fantasy content.
So, combining his own expertise, Angel customized a philosophical speculation room for Onassis.
"...The inspiration comes from the House of Heart that I saw in the Mulberry Leaf Witch before. The image with some "philosophical" concepts is turned into a book and installed in a venue made of fantasy. Every time Onassis entered it and opened any book, he would start a philosophical speculation. "
Angel briefly explained the contents of his refining. After listening, Greya pondered for a moment: "The content of philosophy is all-encompassing. If you want to turn it into a book and think about it with Onassis, you need a lot of philosophical level and accumulation."
Angel said lightly: "I don't need that much accumulation, and my understanding of philosophy is only general."
"Then how did you..." refine it?
Looking at Greya's question, Angel smiled mysteriously: "I said, philosophy is just a concept, why do I need to work hard to explain it."
Angel specifically emphasized the "concept" when he said this, which made Greia seem to have vaguely captured something.
"Could it be..." Greya suddenly turned her head and looked into the distance.
This is the fantasy world of Dream Twins. Each platform is actually like a different world. Greya looks into the distance in the soup house, and the maximum distance she can see is still within the range of the soup house.
But what Greya is looking at now is obviously not the soup house. Although she can't see other platforms besides the soup house, she knows that direction, a certain platform that the Cat Bus took her to!
"Mysterious Mountain!" Greya softly read the name of the station. It was in the Mysterious Mountain that Greya encountered the mysterious concept that allowed her to break through the difficulties she had been stuck in for many years.
Angel calls it a mysterious figurative object.
It was a little easter egg left in the dream twin he had originally refined for Greya. However, what everyone did not expect was that this last Easter egg allowed Greya to successfully create a spell on the Magic Island.
"Did you incorporate a concept similar to that in the Mysterious Mountain in the Philosophical Speculation Hall?" Greya stared closely at Angel. She had experienced it herself, so she knew the value of this concept very well.
Angel nodded, then shook his head: "It does incorporate similar concepts, but not to the level of Mysterious Mountain."
Angel himself knew very well that when faced with the mountain of "philosophy", he was still just a humble person and was not qualified to explain it.
But he once entered the belly of the Yorkshire puppy, the Minister of Nightmare, and witnessed the birth and fall of civilizations, various mysterious images, and corresponding concepts.
Even now, Angel still doesn't really understand everything he experienced at that time, but he can use nightmares to simulate one of the experiences into a fantasy world using concrete objects.
Angel intercepted a very small section of concepts that he thought were related to "philosophy" and integrated them into the Speculation Hall.
Because Ingres incorporates less conceptual content, and because it deliberately controls the shape of a book that distracts from it. Therefore, it can barely be called a shrunken version of a mysterious figurative object, but it is far from being a truly mysterious figurative object.
But even so, this is still a very powerful item, as can be seen from the fact that it can reach the top intermediate level.
Onassis contemplated in it, believing it to be enough to enlighten him.
After listening to Angel's explanation, Grea's eyes were slightly regretful: "It's not as high as the Mysterious Mountain..." Moreover, it was still related to annoying philosophy, which didn't sound interesting. I originally thought that after the craze of the Rising Stars Competition had passed, I would find someone to join Onassis's Speculation Hall, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
Angel probably guessed what Greya was thinking, and smiled lightly without revealing it. Even if Greya really went to rob the Speculation Hall, it would be useless. The works he gave to Shiliu and Onassis this time were all attached with contract magic patterns. Once they recognized the owner, outsiders would only make the items robbed by force. Destroyed and unusable.
"Your mentor spent a lot of effort to help you conceal the mysterious mountain. But at that time, your strength was low and you had no say in the wizarding world; but now, you have some confidence." Gray Ya smiled and said: "I heard that members of the R&D Institute will publish their own unique works. Why don't you make similar works like this your own and publish them in the R&D Institute?"
Angel shook his head. The mysterious object involved a lot. Even if he now had a certain strength and status, he might still be guilty of it. For this reason, the Speculation Hall he refined for Onassis, even though it was far away from the mysterious concrete object, was hidden and could only be enjoyed by Onassis.
Therefore, he can occasionally make similar props, but he has no intention of releasing them as a member of the R&D Institute.
