Chapter 246 - The World of Films
Originally, Angor was making the music box as a gift for Toby. However, since Sunders mentioned to him that Lady Mirror loved interesting trinkets, Angor decided to make a second one for her. Lady Mirror did save his life, and Angor currently had nothing else to repay such a big favor, so he had to rely on his innovation.
Since it was a gift, the music box had to at least look good on the outside. Even if Lady Mirror would not mind it, for good faith, Angor was still going to try his best.
He took out his pen and paper and began to design.
He learned how to sketch before. Soon enough, the basic shape of a music box appeared under his pen tip.
A small, golden box which revealed a black stage inside, where a dancer dressed in white danced on her toe tips.
It was the same music box Angor saw in his mother’s bedroom during childhood. When wound up, the music box would create crystal tones, while the dancer would dance around along the melody.
Angor inspected his sketch and frowned. It looked like a typical music box that one would find in any toy shop. A child might find it fun, but Lady Mirror should be a real aged being who existed for gods-know-how-long. Angor did not believe that Lady Mirror would be tempted by such a simple doll toy.
A number of crystal tubes climbed downward in a spiral manner. Each turn on the rubes was marked with a star, which meant there would be an illusion node placed.
The tubes all moved in different patterns. The simple twists and turns created an overall design which looked like a growing tree.
Angor placed a flower-shaped component in the center of the tubes. This idea came from a gramophone he saw in one of the films. Instead of copying the bronze-colored flower-shaped speaker, he used transparent crystals plus pale paints to express the form of shifting sea waves.
The simple sketch on the paper already looked luxuriously artistic. Angor hoped that his final product could be as astonishing.
Since the shape and illusion nodes were determined, Angor would need to find proper materials and decide which music and illusion to use.
