Main Text Volume Chapter 425 Leaving the Black Castle

He planned to start from other aspects.

For example, can we try to block the senses or deceive the senses?

Apart from the Nightmare, Angel's talent for illusion is also very special. When he made "Journey to the Sky", he did not actively integrate anything, but the final effect was so impressive that even Mirror Ji was moved by the time-stagnation atmosphere of "Land in the Clouds".

After that experience, Angel's understanding of illusion seemed to have opened up, and it was greatly improved. Blocking other people's sense of direction and space can be done at will.

Later, he came into contact with "Mystery of Nightmare" and used the easier and simpler power of Nightmare, but began to ignore his own talent.

Angel didn't know if this was putting the cart before the horse, but he had to say that the power of Nightmare was indeed very convenient to use. However, it seems that it cannot be combined with alchemy at present. It is not known whether he does not understand Nightmare deeply or the power of Nightmare itself is not integrated with alchemy. This still needs to be studied in the future.

What he has to do now is to work on the illusion itself, hoping to find a breakthrough.

Three more days passed, and Angel looked at a feather earring in his hand, with some hesitation on his face.

This is the result of his three days of training. He can indeed deceive others' sense of touch with illusions without mixing nightmares, but this is limited to people with similar or lower power levels than him. In other words, he can only deceive and deceive the perception of apprentices below level 2 at most. This is completely incomparable to nightmare illusions, but the only good thing is that this illusion can be integrated into alchemy.

In this case, Angel still refined the earring.

The theme is Toby, but this earring can't really work for Greya, unless Greya actively lets go of her spirit to feel the touch.

Overall, Angel's refining is a failure. Alchemical props that require users to actively cooperate to let go of their mental barriers before they can use them are bound to be a failure for him.

But he had no other choice. As time passed, he also learned from the mute servant that Shadow had obtained Naga and left first.

He was eager to go home, but there was really no other way. Angel could only temporarily refine this failed work.

However, Angel gave a lot of craftsmanship to this earring. Whether it was the design of the appearance or the arrangement of the illusion, Angel paid extraordinary attention. He only hoped to win back some points from these minor corners.

When he found Greya in the hall on the first floor with this earring, his head was lowered and he looked embarrassed.

Greya saw Angel's expression and had a guess in her heart.

Because Greya was not familiar with alchemy, Angel hummed for a long time before explaining the problems that occurred during refining.

Graya pondered for a moment: "I remember the illusion you made a few days ago, I can touch the entity."

Angel couldn't tell the existence of "Nightmare", he could only say: "This is a special illusion application method taught to me by mentor Sanders, but after the experiment, I found that it can't be integrated into alchemy. I thought of many ways, and finally I could only make this illusion prop by deceiving the nerve receptors in the brain."

"But because of my level limit, what I made can only deceive apprentices with the same level as me, or lower than my level."

Angel's words were mixed with some academic terms that Graya couldn't understand, and she didn't understand them very well, after all, there was overlap in knowledge.

"In other words, the items you made now are of no use to me?"

Angel nodded, then shook his head: "If the adults take the initiative to let go of their spirits to perceive the illusion, they can also feel it."

After Angel finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked depressed.

Letting go of the mental barrier to perceive the illusion, this is obviously an impossible choice for most wizards.

"I know this is a failure, but I have tried my best." Angel said hesitantly.

Failure? Graya did not speak. In fact, from her perspective, Angel had already met her requirements. It was called a failure only because Angel had very high standards.

Graya understood what Angel meant. His wish was that the things he made could be used by both apprentices and formal wizards.

But this is a false proposition in itself.

For most apprentice-level alchemists, props made by wizard apprentices that can be used by formal wizards are an extremely rare experience. Even every time they make one, they can celebrate and sing. It is normal that they cannot make props that formal wizards can use.

In Angel's case, the opposite situation occurred.

Graya sighed slightly in her heart. Seeing Angel's uncomfortable look, she felt that Angel was really sad about his failure.

She could sense that Angel didn't set high standards for himself. It was simply because he had come into contact with too few alchemists, which led him to underestimate himself.

If this were any other alchemist, he would have already started talking.

Angel saw that Greya hadn't spoken, so he carefully looked up and saw that Greya had no expression on her face, which made him even more uneasy. He thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I admit that my current strength is not enough, but I promise that as long as I can meet your requirements one day in the future, I will refine it again and deliver it to you personally."

Angel did not propose the option of 'returning Toby' because he also knew very well that if he proposed to return Toby to Grea at this time, then he would truly 'objectify' Toby.

Angel waited anxiously for Grea's answer.

After a while, Greya raised the corners of her lips: "Okay, I agree. But I also have a request."

"What request?"

"You don't need to take the initiative to refine it. I will decide the refining time."

Angel nodded and agreed to the condition.

Grea originally thought that Angel had met her conditions. She had actually planned to accept the fantasy props refined by Angel, but she did not expect to earn a promise of additional refinements.

She was very optimistic about Angel's future, especially his talent in alchemy. Maybe he would be promoted to an alchemist master without waiting too long. She would have earned the promise of a "future alchemist master" in vain.

"Take out what you refined."

Angel had been explaining the shortcomings of his refining before, but he never took out the feather earrings. It was not until Greya took the initiative that he suddenly remembered this.

He carefully took out the feather earrings, put them in his hand and handed them to Greya.

The color of the feathers is silvery white, and the carvings on them are meticulous. Every line is completely modeled after Toby's feathers, and the gentle curves have a strange beauty.

In terms of appearance alone, Greya is very satisfied.

She took the feather earrings and did not test the illusion immediately. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'm very satisfied with the appearance. As for the effect... it doesn't matter if I'm satisfied or not. I'm waiting for you to surprise me in the future."

Angel smiled sheepishly.

Greya put the feather earrings casually in her pocket, "Show me Toby."

Angel was in a daze for a moment, and hurriedly took Toby out of his breast pocket and handed it to Greya.

Greya stroked Toby's feathers gently, and after a while she said, "Toby will be looking after you from now on."

"My current situation is not suitable for taking care of Toby." Greya lamented: "My body was left in the nightmare world, and my enemies have figured out that I am not dead. Toby following me will make it more dangerous."

"Lady Greia, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Toby." Angel said this solemnly.

"I believe you." Greya smiled slightly and handed Toby back to Angel with deep reluctance. "You should be leaving Castle Black soon, right?"

Angel nodded.

Greya took out a space soft bag and a golden card from her pocket: "Take these two things. There are some soul beads in the space soft bag. If Toby goes through another disaster in the future, he should use it. As for This card is Felicia’s compensation for you, the golden VIP card of Butterfly Tavern. She was rude last time, I hope you don’t mind too much.”

As for the "last rudeness", Greya brushed it off. As Isabel said, not listening is the best choice. Angel happened to not want to talk about soul-related things, so after accepting the things, he said no more.

"Let's go." Greya looked at Toby again, full of nostalgia: "I hope that the next time we meet, both Toby and you can surprise me."

Angel nodded, bowed deeply to Greia, turned around and left.

All of Angel's things were contained in the bracelet, so he left Castle Black directly and walked away along the winding path.

Greya stood in front of the window sill, watching Angel's figure disappear from sight.

After confirming that Angel had left the inner world, she sighed, sat on the sofa in the living room, and remained silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Felicia walked out of the darkness: "If you are really reluctant to let go, you can hand Toby over to me. At least I can ensure his safety."

Grea glanced at Felicia, shook her head and chuckled: "Come on, Toby is following you, and you don't even need to chase him away. He will run away on his own, so he might as well leave it to Angel. I can see it. He really loves Toby and Toby is happy to be around him.”

"But if you hand it over to an apprentice, are you really relieved?"

"It doesn't matter, don't worry, I'm just betting on a future, Toby's future, Angel's future...and my future." Greya's voice became lower and lower, and only she could hear the last sentence.

Felicia nodded and did not continue on this topic. Instead, she sat down next to Grea and took out a glass of light wine to drink slowly.

Greia took out the earrings refined by Angel from her pocket. With a little expectation of the unknown, she input magic power to activate it.
