Chapter 656 - Entertainment
“One other thing,” Sunders kept up, “you placed so much nightmare energy in this part of the section just so that you can make people fear and even respect it, am I right?”
Angor nodded rapidly.
He defined a “theme” for each section when creating the illusion, and the theme for Witch’s Town was “respecting your fear”, which Sunders just pointed out.
“Nice idea.” Sunders approved before giving his harsh opinions, “However, YOUR fear will only work on mortals and some of the apprentices with weaker mentalities. Wizards or stronger apprentices can easily see through your trick. They might regard your work as something interesting, and that’s about it. Your emotion manipulation would have worked fine, if not for this easily-deciphered illusion. This is where you failed.”
After going through the Witch’s Town in Angor’s illusion, Greya understood Angor’s intention because she wanted to. Sunders meant to point out that she chose to follow the “story” constructed in the illusion rather than being forced to.
This meant Angor’s illusion wouldn’t work well on other people.
Even if it was intended to enlighten Greya, it would work better if the elements in the illusion fully affected her, thus allowing her to gain heartfelt awareness.
Angor looked down as he finally understood Sunders’ judgment.
There was a monument placed at the entrance of Monument Valley, which had a line written on it:
[Journey to forgiveness]
So there’s another story about that Ida too? Sunders thought.
…
Angor was still giggling when Cat Bus took them away.
Sunders gave him a poker face. “The illusion of Monument Valley is more problematic compared to the rest. The colors and structures, none of them should exist in common sense.”
The gentleman spent several minutes pointing out the “flaws” until Angor began to wonder if it was a bad decision to place the game here.
However, Sunders suddenly changed his attitude. “Once we’re back, make another Monument Valley illusion so that I can get a better look of it, and hopefully give you some instructions accordingly.”
Angor almost face-palmed himself.
