The first day of the late month of the rainy month.
Under the shimmering light of the morning sun, Angel pushed aside the soft quilt, got out of bed a little confused, and walked to the window.
Originally, he wanted to pull down the curtains and go back to sleep. He had been busy for more than half a month, and it was rare to have a rest. But when he went to the window, he found that somehow, the window was pushed open. The piercing cool breeze in the morning squeaked into the house.
The originally confused brain was blown by the cool wind and instantly sobered up.
Angel yawned and scratched the top of his head because of the dull hair that was curled up after a sleep. Turning his head slightly, he looked at the bedside table.
On the exquisite wooden cabinet, there was an extinguished oil lamp. At this time, the oil lamp has disappeared, and it has become a luxurious and delicate wooden bed with white gauze bed curtains hanging around the bed, but the translucent bed curtain cannot hide the "spring light" on the bed.
A warm-yellow duvet covers a small gray bird, whose breast rhythmically moves up and down, and if you listen carefully, you can hear some snoring sounds.
Seeing the scene in front of him, how could Angel not know who the murderer who opened the window was.
It is estimated that Toby was abused by Greya on the Magic Island, and even flew to the source of flow at night to sleep. The most important thing is that even when he woke up, Toby was still sleeping!
Angel shivered, wanting to wake Toby up. But the hand stretched halfway, and then shrank back.
Forget it, sleep so soundly, it is estimated that he is exhausted.
Although he has stayed at the source of mobility for most of the month, compared to the situation in the Blossom Manor, he can imagine how miserable Toby will be under Greia's whip.
After letting Toby go, Angel was blowing the cool morning breeze. Now that he is a little awake, he has no plans to go back to sleep. However, when he just woke up, his thinking was still a little hazy. Angel didn't rush to wash up. Instead, he opened the door beside the window and walked to the balcony.
He is now on the balcony of the bedroom on the third floor of the Xenopus laboratory. Outside is a long path leading to a stream two miles away. On both sides of the path are undulating jungles and mountains, and the mountains are blowing from the jungle.
Looking at this green world, Angel stretched out, facing the comfortable cool wind, and let out a long breath.
Standing on the balcony for a while, looking at the green nature, I feel that my thinking is slowly returning to the right track. Angel planned to turn back to the bedroom to freshen up.
Suddenly, Angel stopped and his ears moved slightly.
He seemed to hear someone singing on the other side of the col? But if you listen carefully, it seems to be his illusion, and you can only hear the rustling sound brought by Shan Lan.
Maybe an illusion? Angel turned around, pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom.
But just as he stepped into the bedroom, another burst of singing came into his ears.
Not an illusion! Is someone really singing? !
Angel looked back suspiciously and looked towards the distant mountains. The source of the flow is very large, and each of the different degrees of laboratories is hundreds of miles apart, and the tens of miles around each of the different degrees of laboratories belongs to the masters of the different degrees of laboratories. If outsiders step into the corresponding area without the owner's consent, they will be hacked and killed by themselves. After all, the people in the Yondu Lab are basically doing important experiments, and it is very likely that they will be ruined if they are disturbed.
Judging from the distance of this song, Angel felt that it was not too far away from him, probably within a few miles.
Who would break into his autonomous jurisdiction? Other Xenolab wizards? If so, that would be disrespectful too.
Angel thought for a while, put on a gray-white wizard's robe, and turned out from the balcony.
No matter who the other party is, stepping into his range, even if he has no murderous intention, he must be vigilant.
With this goal in mind, Angel quickly ran towards the source of the sound.
Two minutes later, Angel stood at the top of a big tree, looking at the top of a mountain several miles away, with a relieved expression on his face.
At the top of that mountain pass, a tin hut with long legs was standing still. The chimney overhead, still braving the curls of smoke. The singing that Angel heard came from the tin house.
He thought that a stranger had broken into his jurisdiction, but it turned out to be the Iron Fortress.
The Iron Fortress can move at will in the source of flow, no one will stop it, and no one dares to stop it. The iron-clad mother-in-law who lives in the Iron-clad Fort seems to be just a kind old woman, but Angel once asked Sanders about the iron-clad mother-in-law. Geer, don't be rude in front of the iron-clad mother-in-law.
That was the first time Sanders warned Angel to pay attention to etiquette, even though he knew very well that Angel had never made a mistake in etiquette.
It can be seen that the identity of the iron-clad mother-in-law is definitely not ordinary.
Since it was the singing from the Iron Fortress, Angel didn't go into it, maybe it was the mother-in-law who was having a banquet.
Thinking of this, Angel planned to go back to the house. But before taking two steps, Angel heard the singing in the Iron Fortress changed again, and it was replaced by the city of music in the sky that Angel was very familiar with? !
Angel looked in the direction of the Iron Fortress with a puzzled face. The music box depicting the Castle in the Sky is now in Jingji, Lydia, and Toby. Why is there still this music in the Iron Fortress? Could it be that Grandma Tiejia invited Lord Jingji
Just as Angel was guessing, Ironclad Fort seemed to notice Angel.
I saw Iron Armored Castle turned its head, opened its slender limbs, and hopped in the direction of Angel, accompanied by the whistle of "woohoo".
Angel originally planned to leave, but since he had been discovered, he did not leave immediately, but stood in place and waited for the arrival of the Iron Fortress.
Ironclad Fort stood in front of Angel, and then a wooden ladder slowly slid down from above.
Angel gracefully climbed the ladder and opened the door of the tin house.
Standing in front of the door, Angel more clearly heard the music of "City in the Sky" inside. Moreover, Angel felt more and more weird the more he listened. The "City in the Sky" was down-tuned in some rhythms, and some strange instrumental accompaniment was added, which did not seem to be the original version of the music.
Angel raised his eyebrows: Don't say, such a modification has more meaning than the original version.
With subtle emotions, Angel stepped into the door.
The interior decoration of the tin house has not changed. It is still a hut full of piles. There are flowers and plants, potted plants, and bookshelves. It looks neat and warm. Fruits and tea are placed on the table, full of the taste of "home".
He thought that Lord Jing Ji was not in the house, only Granny Tiejia closed her eyes, pouring tea and tasting it slowly.
Right in front of Granny Tiejia, the locker that used to be the crystal ball now has an octagonal music box, and the music box is holding "City in the Sky".
"Good morning, Angel." Granny Tiejia opened her eyes and smiled kindly at him.
"Mother-in-law, good morning." Angel responded with a salute.
Granny Tiejia motioned for Angel to sit across from him. After Angel was seated, she poured him a cup of hot tea.
"You've been staring at this music box, do you also like it?" Granny Tiejia stood up, bowed her back and walked to the locker, took the music box over, and placed it in front of Angel: "Your eyeballs will fall into it. Now, just watch it if you want. I know you alchemists are interested in this kind of ingenious stuff."
Angel smiled: "Mother-in-law, this music box is... "
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything about alchemy, you can see if you don't see it for yourself."
Angel originally wanted to ask about the origin of the music box, but Granny Tiejia mistakenly thought he was interested in the music box itself.
Angel didn't explain it either. He picked up the music box and looked at it carefully.
This music box is not the same as the music box he made at the beginning, but there is a familiar button at the bottom, which is the button to switch the illusion.
Some people simply like music, while others like music with mood. So Angel set up a switch to switch the illusion.
Unexpectedly, this very standard octagonal music box has the same switch.
Angel tentatively pressed it down.
In an instant, the surrounding environment turned into a blue sky and white clouds.
Angel's expression was even weirder. He didn't expect that he was still thinking about piracy in the wizarding world last night, but today he saw someone pirate his music box.
What's even more remarkable is that even the fantasy world has been pirated together.
However, the illusion is obviously a bit watery. Although the surrounding blue sky and white clouds are moving, it looks very ordinary, and there is no such immersive feeling.
Moreover, as the music of "City in the Sky" reached its peak, the pirates did not conjure up the floating island that should have appeared.
Angel tutted twice in his heart, even if the illusion is not satisfactory, it is already very good to be able to do this, at least alchemy and illusion have reached a certain level. The most important thing is that this "City in the Sky" has also been modified by pirates to make it sound better...
Angel was a little sweaty, and yes, there are many artists in this world, not to mention that there are top artists among mortals, and there are many wizards who are keen on art. In terms of the long lifespan of a wizard, even if he has no talent, he can pile up the title of a master of art by his lifespan.
When the song was over, Angel was about to ask about the origin of the music box, but it jumped directly to a new song. The next song was a piece of music that Angel had never heard before, but it was definitely a palace-level piece. His works are in no way inferior to "City in the Sky", and even far surpass "City in the Sky" in many aspects.
Moreover, with the playback of this piece of music, the illusion changed again, becoming an illusion that matched the music.
However, the illusion is still a little thin, not as attractive as the music, and it is no wonder that the iron-clad mother-in-law just listens to the song and does not open the illusion. However, the playing of this song after another is somewhat like a music player in a holographic tablet, which is also a secondary innovation made by pirates based on Angel's music box.
"Mother-in-law, I don't know where did you get this music box?" Taking advantage of the gap between the music, Angel closed the illusion and asked in a low voice.
"What? You want it too?"
Angel smiled and said, "Just a little curious."
"Hehe, you alchemists, you just like to get to the bottom of things. However, it's okay to tell you." Granny Tiejia pointed to the distance: "This was given to me by the owner of the No. 7 Xenomorph Laboratory. According to him, This music box was purchased from Twilight Well, and I heard that it is quite popular recently. If you want, you can go to Twilight Well and ask about it."
"Deep Twilight Well." Angel squinted and whispered softly.
