Main Text Volume Chapter 249 Refining Success
After confirming the sound source of the Wanyin illusion, Angel checked it again to make sure there were no omissions. Then he entered the last step of alchemy, using the condensation method to complete the finalization.
As a faint white cold air was lingering, the music box appeared to be shining, and Angel stopped the condensation method.
The next second, white light appeared. The dazzling light made Angel close his eyes slightly. When he opened his eyes, a crystal clear object was emitting white light in the palm of his hand.
The light came from the transistor below. The internal structure of the transistor was multi-faceted, like a dazzling diamond cut. As long as there was a little light, it could reflect fascinating transparent light and shadow.
The winding transistors that coiled into branches were already amazingly beautiful; the flowers in the center were even more moving.
The water drop-like decoration, the blooming flowers, with layers of waves-like patterns, light blue, light yellow and light white dyeing, and transparent and delicate petal carvings, not only have a delicate and beautiful appearance, but also give people a sense of luxury despite the simple and elegant colors.
Just from the appearance, this is definitely an outstanding work of art.
Angel was also very satisfied with his design. He didn't know whether Jing Ji would be amazed by it, but he was amazed. But this is a music box after all. No matter how beautiful the appearance design is, it can only be reduced to a decoration if the function is too poor.
Therefore, Angel quickly put away his complacency about the appearance and began to test the function of the music box.
There are roughly two special effects of the music box. One is the calming effect brought by the quiet magic pattern, and the second is naturally the illusion produced by the music.
Both effects require magic support, but Angel designed it at the beginning to make people calm their minds in the beautiful melody and dreamy scenes. Naturally, it is impossible for people to hold the music box all the time to input magic.
Therefore, the music box must have its own energy source. Other more efficient and energy-saving alchemical energy sources are not available to Angel at this level. The kinetic energy source he chose is still the traditional "magic crystal".
The energy cabin that installs the magic crystal is hidden in the small space at the root of the flower, just like a battery, which can be opened and replaced at any time.
As long as the original magic power in the magic crystal is sufficient, the special effects of the music box can be activated by twisting the bar.
The switch designed by Angel for this music box is still a traditional bar device, but he only retains the appearance of the bar, and does not need to be twisted like the traditional bar device. The reason why he designed it in this way is also a tribute to the traditional style of the "music box".
When starting the music box, you only need to gently twist the bar clockwise by two scales, and the music box will enter the full effect playback. Twisting one scale in the opposite direction will close the illusion and leave only the music. Twisting another scale in the opposite direction will completely turn off the music box.
Angel opened the energy cabin and put in a magic crystal.
Then he took a deep breath and twisted the bar next to the energy cabin.
When the bar rotated two scales, the whole music box suddenly became colorful.
Then a circle of strange aura spread out from the music box, and Angel felt that his impetuous mood gradually calmed down at this moment.
All the troubles and pressures disappeared in this strange aura.
"This is the effect of the quiet magic pattern." Angel thought to himself.
As this aura spread, Angel unconsciously smiled with ease.
Then, the melodious prelude of the city in the sky came from the "flower". The sound quality is perfect, without any loss. The wonderful musical instrument plays the exotic style, which puts people into another time and space...
Along with the music, there is also the illusion set by Angel.
The water ripples gradually ripple around him. The next moment, Angel found that he had appeared in the sky. Looking up, he saw the eternal blue sky and floating white clouds; looking down, he could faintly see the green fields and the shadowy and undulating mountains.
This illusion of music was constructed so perfectly that Ingres couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up. Because he spent a long time on the Cloud Whale, he had a very vivid grasp of the clear blue sky and the changing clouds. This illusion was almost flawless.
As the music played, the illusion slowly changed.
Until the clouds were cleared, the "sky island with a story" appeared in front of him...
...
After repeated tests of multiple variables, Ingres finally confirmed that the music box was successfully refined!
He had all the results he wanted and the content he wanted to express.
If it is said that the artworks of famous artists express a strong personal style in a two-dimensional way, those who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand will not understand no matter how much they say.
Then, Ingres's music box broke through the dimensional wall and was a multiple journey of eyes, ears and soul. It expresses personal demands in a three-dimensional way. As long as you are not an idiot, you can feel the sincerity of the maker.
There is no difference between the two, but Ingres's music box is full of creativity and novelty, and it will undoubtedly be liked by more audiences.
This time, the refining was very successful. The only thing that made Angel feel regretful was that one echo flower was destroyed, and he only refined one music box.
So, should this music box be given to Lady Mirror Princess first, or to Toby first?
Angel naturally tended to give it to Toby first, after all, Toby was his closest companion. But Lady Mirror Princess was his savior, and she had said she would visit him a long time ago, but he dragged it out for too long.
Angel thought for a moment and decided not to worry about it, but to give it to Toby first. After all, he had already promised it. Anyway, it doesn’t take long to refine a music box. Just buy an Echo Flower later.
Thinking of this, Angel took the music box and left the laboratory.
As soon as he opened the door to the basement, Angel saw a colorful shadow rushing over. It was Toby in flower fairy clothes. It first stopped on his shoulder, rubbed its head against Angel's cheek, and then saw the beautiful things in Angel's hand at a glance.
Toby's eyes lit up. He had been trained by Greya since he was a child, and his aesthetics were similar to those of humans. This could be seen from his clothes.
Toby flapped his wings happily and wandered around the music box.
Angel smiled and said, "Here, this is the music box promised to you. I said it would be shipped today, so I didn't break my promise."
Toby nodded like garlic, bobbing happily up and down, matching his colorful clothes, like a dancing butterfly.
After Angel told Toby the function of the music box and how to use it, he handed the music box directly to Toby.
Although the music box was much larger than Toby, Toby completely ignored the size comparison and flew back to his loft after pecking at the transistor with his beak. After a while, the music of City in the Sky came from the attic. What followed was Toby's rhythmic chirping of birds.
Angel shook his head in amusement, then put on the bone card and prepared to go to David to buy another echo flower.
When Angel arrived at the Prome Alchemy Shop, he found that the man guarding the shop was not David, but the muscular Hercules.
When Angel inquired, he found out that David had asked Hercules to look after the store while he was tinkering with alchemy under the cargo hold.
Angel originally had no intention of disturbing David, and asked Hercules to see if there was any Echo Flower, but Hercules didn't know anything about it. Angel had no choice but to go to the cargo hold to find David.
When he got down to the cargo hold, Angel found that David was refining the embryo of a rapier using the thermal melting method. After many days of training, he is now able to refine the weapon embryos in a masterful manner.
Angel stood aside quietly waiting for him to finish refining.
Carved by magic hands, the rapier quickly took shape. When Angel thought David would use the condensation method to shape the rapier, he saw David taking out a few more materials and muttering words. Magic power surged in the materials at the same time, and rays of light fell from the materials.
"Blending?" A word popped into Angel's mind.
But before Angel could think about it, the rapier embryo in David's hand became corrupted after a ray of light fell, and after a while, the rapier was directly broken into slag.
"Alas, it failed again." David had already noticed Angel, and said with a depressed face: "It failed for the third time today."
Angel looked at the debris on the ground, and sure enough it was more than once.
"You were not so diligent before." Angel joked: "After being enlightened by me, are you enlightened now?"
David held his head up proudly: "I didn't have money to buy materials before, but now that I have money, I naturally have to be more diligent."
"Stop talking about me, why are you looking for me? Did you take on the alchemy task again?" David asked curiously.
"I didn't accept the mission. I just came here to buy an Echo Flower." Angel looked at the shelf next to him: "Are there any Echo Flowers left?"
David curled his lips: "What kind of music box are you still refining? Failed again?"
"I am preparing to refine the music box, but I have not failed. I have already refined a finished product for Toby, but I plan to refine another one and give it to my... benefactor." Angel did not intend to tell Mirror Princess. thing.
"Benefactor?" David knew better and did not ask further: "You came really in time, and there is actually an Echo Flower in the store. Last time, Toby blackmailed three of them, and the Echo Flower has not been restocked. It happened that the last few flowers were sold. People come to sell echo flowers every day, and the demand for echo flowers has never been high. If I didn’t think there was no stock in the store, I wouldn’t have planned to buy them.”
David rummaged through the box and took out an echo flower from a corner and handed it to Angel.
Angel was about to pay the bill with the bone card, but David waved his hand directly: "No need. I only spent 30 contribution points to buy it. I haven't even written the account book yet. You can just take it. I'm too lazy to waste time. Go keep accounts."
Angel still remembered that not long ago, David was still a person who cared about his contribution points, but look at it now... It's right to think about it in retrospect. David is now a rich man with thousands of magic crystals, and 30 contribution points are not counted. What the hell, not even drizzle!
Angel was not polite and took the Echo Flower: "Okay, I'll go back first. I have to refine it tonight and deliver it to people tomorrow morning."
David nodded: "Don't forget, we have tickets for tomorrow afternoon. If you miss it, you will have to wait for the big auction at the end of the year."
