"Please select a destination."
This is the third time Gloria has heard it since boarding the quirky cat bus. The first two times, Gloria hadn't figured out the situation, so she chose to remain silent.
This time, Greya finally spoke up and reported an address: "Witch Town."
"The cat bus is about to leave, sit tight! Destination Witch Town!"
As soon as the voice fell, the cat bus began to run wildly, galloping with lightning speed, and it ran over mountains and rivers. The most amazing thing is that the fluffy pads of the cat bus did not produce the slightest rebound, and sitting in it did not feel bumpy at all.
The cool breeze of the night kept pouring into the carriage, and the hair and the placket made strong noises in the wind. Greya sat on the soft orange plush cushion and looked at the changing scenery outside the window in a leisurely manner.
She raised her head and glanced at a circular map on the top of the right wall of the cat bus, with the names of several platforms marked on it. Greya guessed that these addresses should be the destination of the so-called "cat bus"? The "Witch Town" she reported earlier was one of them.
The reason why Gloria chose Witch Town is because of all the platforms on the map, only Witch Town seems to be related to "Witcher".
Others such as "Soup House", "Tree Nest", "Mermaid Sea", "Empty Island"... "Monument Valley", etc. These platforms seem to be quite ordinary just from the name.
Therefore, Greya was locked in Witch Town almost immediately.
"Do you use the cat bus as a bridge to connect various areas? Strange foreshadowing, but also quite interesting." Greia stretched her waist, blowing the night wind, "I just happened to tackle a difficult point in the birth technique, take advantage of this Opportunity to relax and have fun.”
Greia closed her eyes and leisurely felt the speed of the cat bus.
Suddenly, the cat bus came to a sudden stop and stopped moving. Greya opened her eyes, but saw a strange road sign standing abruptly on the side of the road. There was an oil lamp hanging on the road sign, and a civet cat with an umbrella stood under the lamp.
Gloria raised her eyebrows, Angel is quite good at playing, and how many passengers did he make in the middle? And this guest, who looked like a beast, was wearing a human bathrobe, which was interesting.
The fat face of the orange cat slowly turned to the road sign, and the two huge cat eyes looked like "headlights", emitting a bright white light: "The cat bus serves you."
As if the tanuki could not see Greya, he said to the cat's head: "Is this bus going to the soup house?"
The orange cat turned his head, and the big three-striped tail shook: "The destination of this trip, Witch Town."
"Witchtown? Well then, I'll wait for the next bus."
The civet cat's voice fell, and the orange cat set off again. Greya turned her head and saw the weird civet cat holding an umbrella alone, standing under the light and silently watching the cat bus leave.
"Is there not only a cat bus, but also other intelligent beings in this fantasy?" With a relaxed attitude of entertainment, Greya speculated with a smile: "The civet cat was going to the soup house, so I just If you choose to go to the soup house, wouldn't this civet cat also get on the bus?"
"If the civet cat also got in the car, will there be any follow-up stories?"
Greya has not forgotten that the illusion in the feather earrings, even if it is just a nick on the wall, can make up a big drama. Maybe that civet cat itself has a story line
Greya guessed enthusiastically, she didn't feel "being hooked on the nose" at all, it was like playing a third-party character with a story line, and using this character to experience another life.
The cat bus ran for a while on the smooth trail before it stopped at a corner. Gloria thought she had encountered another hitchhiker, but there was no one outside the window.
This is a big bend of more than 90 degrees, with a hillside on one side and a cliff on the other. And below the cliff, there is a sea whistling with the sound of waves.
Greya saw only an iron road sign around the corner.
A forward arrow was drawn on the street sign, and a line of words was left: "Entrance to Witch Town."
Greya looked forward along the road sign. The direction of the road sign was a cliff. There was nothing but the dark sky and the ocean of cliffs glowing white under the moon in the distance.
When Greya was puzzled, the catbus suddenly squatted down, kicked its back foot, and jumped into the high mid-air.
Before Gloria could react, they passed through a strange gate in the sky and fell into another world.
Thick fog, a large amount of thick fog obscured Greya's vision.
But Gloria didn't care about these thick fogs, instead she looked excited. Although the dense fog was very heavy, she felt the same strong aura of the Nightmare Realm in the dense fog.
The fog was clearly flowing, but Gloria seemed to see the stagnant time.
Everything will pass away, leaving only this volume of time that never grows old, waiting for you quietly in the depths of loneliness.
This strange feeling lingered in Greya's heart.
Greya was completely immersed in it, which not only made her tremble with fear, but also made her yearn and pursue.
She didn't even feel that the cat bus was moving more and more slowly until it finally stopped in front of a wooden pillar with an oil lamp hanging on it.
"Witchtown has arrived, welcome to take the cat bus."
As the orange cat turned around its huge head, Greya slowly regained her senses.
"This is Witch Town? Why is it so foggy?" Gloria looked at the thick fog outside the car and asked suspiciously.
However, the catbus didn't answer, but motioned Greia to leave with his eyes.
"That's right, if the characters in the fantasy world are wise, there will be more levels involved, which is not something that Angel can do at the moment." Thinking of this, Greya also put out the conversation with the cat bus and got out of the bus .
Just after she got out of the car, the cat bus immediately flicked its three tails and climbed up along the wooden pillar.
There is a thin silk thread at the top of the wooden pillar, which leads to nowhere. However, the cat bus stepped on the silk thread without shaking, moved its limbs quickly, ran along the silk thread to the depths of the mist, and soon disappeared.
Greia fluttered her ears and hair, and looked at the place where the catbus had dropped her.
There was nothing around, only an archway inserted at a fork in the road. The archway was in tatters. Between the spider webs and the rags, a row of words written in dirty blood could be seen: "Witch Town."
Below this "Witch Town", there is a row of small words. Greya looked closer, only to find a row of suggestive words: "Welcome to Witch Town, this will be your... Nightmare amusement park."
Nightmare amusement park? Greya smiled lightly, just the strong atmosphere of the nightmare world was already a nightmare for her.
"Do you use fog to embellish the horror atmosphere? This is a terrifying town?" Greya laughed without fear. As a wizard, she has very little fear. But here, Greya clearly felt that her emotions were being controlled by Angel's illusion. Even if she didn't feel that terrible in her heart, the violent heartbeat and the dignified atmosphere made her unconsciously into a state of concentration.
Then, Greya walked into the mist without hesitation.
…
At the other end, Angel was drawing a design plan, and he planned to make a temporary residence for Floyd.
In fact, in the beginning, Angel wanted to make a makeshift casually. But after thinking about it, this is also the second alchemy product after he has his own logo, so I should be a little more serious.
Moreover, even if it is refined, Frode will only live temporarily. In the end, this thing still belongs to Angel, and there is no need to worry about the fat water flowing into the fields of outsiders.
However, no matter how serious refining is, it is just a temporary residence for the soul. Therefore, Angel is more focused on designing the shape. In Angel's consciousness, when his unique alchemy logo is spread out, he must at least make his "art and taste" above the standard.
The main magic material Angel has been determined, and the "skull of the deceased" is used as the main body of the soul. Therefore, his shape design should take into account the fragility of the bones.
Soon, a church made of bones appeared on paper.
"Pure white bones, even with hollow reliefs, are still a bit monotonous." Angel touched his chin and decided to gilt a layer of secret gold on the white bones.
When Angel refined the finished product, he found that the pale bone and the dazzling gold were strangely fused.
Although the appearance is still flawed, it can basically reach the class of works of art.
"It looks pretty good, let's just call it... The Church of the Dead." Angel named it casually. Originally, he wanted to name it the Church of the Bone, but after thinking about it, it was too direct. It would be better to be more subtle.
Angel is very satisfied with the appearance, as for the effect of the Church of the Dead, it is also okay.
The Church of the Dead is actually composed of two parts, one is the house and the other is the pedestal. The house is a semi-finished product. Angel originally planned to carve an extended magic pattern in the house, which could allow the Church of the Dead to load more souls. But he hasn't learned this magic pattern yet, so he can only give up temporarily.
On the pedestal of the Church of the Dead, Angel painted his own logo and a death magic pattern.
The death magic pattern can release a lot of cold and dead energy. It is often used by wizards to describe it on the anti-corrosion bottle. It can be used for anti-corrosion preservation of some limbs that are inactive but still effective.
However, because it releases a lot of dead energy, it can also be used to nurture dead souls.
The "skull of the deceased" itself can be used as the residence of the dead for a long time, and with the death magic pattern, the church of the deceased has become a sanctuary for the deceased.
At least, until the magic crystals are used up, the Church of the Dead can continue to exist, and there is no need to worry that it will wither in a short time like the soul-retaining flower.
After the church of the dead is refined, the next time is to check the effect.
Angel took out the soul flower from the bracelet, and placed Frode and the illusion in the soul flower into the church of the dead.
