Chapter 264 - Aroused Memories
“Wait, someone used an illusion?”
Some of the apprentices grew alarmed, while the other wizards sneered at them.
“The magic array isn’t triggered, so the illusion is not harmful. No need to get all worked up.”
When the piece of cloth was fully removed, the ripples became a fully functional illusion which covered the entire auction hall up together with music, thus surprising everyone.
We could “see” music? People wondered.
We could use a music box like this?? Prome, as well as the other alchemists, wondered.
The gentle music played by the box and the Tranquility Rune that was placed on it masterfully amplified each other.
“Who created such a thing?” The shadowy figure in another Gold VIP chamber wondered. “Music, enchantment alchemy, Melodious Illusion, Nightmare Realm. The story of Augustin and Margaret… and those clouds. Is that the scene on cloud whale?” He pointed out the elements in the illusion in a low and hoarse voice.
The figure could not understand all of the elements. However, from what he could see, the vivid image of his adorable little student quickly popped up inside his mind.
“Oh… I never thought I’d remember those stories from centuries ago ever again. Is that you, Angor?”
He moved his head around, briefly exposing a gentlemanly face.
…
Angor was oblivious of what was going on in the hall. By using the effect brought by Tranquility Rune, he was now stroking Toby’s feathers to calm the bird.
Thanks to the soothing music and the tranquility aura, Toby finally quieted down.
“Thank goodness I used a Tranquility Rune on it, or I don’t know if I can control Toby,” Angor sighed. He always trusted Toby and allowed the bird to wander outside in a carefree way. He was afraid that the bird might have a hard time getting through such a heavy blow.
When something like this happened, as his guardian, Angor needed to protect Toby.
The music was ending. The misty island was hidden behind approaching clouds, and Angor could sense that Toby completely cooled his tiny head.
Angor tried to tease the bird again and was glad to see Toby responding to his attempts, though somewhat unwillingly.
The illusion was no more, yet all the people in the hall did not make a sound. It seemed they were still thinking about the great music and beautiful sight which had traveled far from their minds.
“Angor, I don’t know what to say,” said Dave as he gave Angor a sad look. “Why am I getting the feeling that you always learn stuff a hundred times faster? You can do something in a day when it’d take me years! I mean, you’re Angor, right? Who are you and what have you done to him?”
Angor facepalmed. “Well, maybe you’re talking about ‘yesterday’s me’.”
“I see… So, an Angor that I don’t know about created such an amazing artifact,” Dave comforted himself.
Prome also spoke to Angor with mixed emotions, “I know what we should discuss later…”
Angor thought about their agreement yesterday and nodded.
Twilight waited for everyone to collect their senses.
“As you all see, this is ‘Land on the Sky’.”
