Sanger gives the Frost Moon Necklace to Sanders.

At the moment he remains in the bracelet, and the only thing that holds the meaning of mystery is this pendant. Anyway, he couldn't find a mysterious artifact, so it was better to give it to Sanders and see if he could get an answer from Sanders.

Sanders experimented with it, and when the boundless snowfield illusion appeared in the study, he was the first to notice the mystery hidden in the air.

However, before he went to look for the mysterious figurative, he frowned.

"Did you think about the purpose of building this snowfield illusion?"

Ingres shook his head, "I was experimenting with all kinds of mysterious objects, and I built them randomly. ”

"In other words, you didn't think about what other purpose you were building the illusion for?" Saunders asked again.

Ingres recalled the thoughts he had when he was refining the Frost Moon Necklace, and it seemed that there were no other distractions: "When I first built the illusion, the only thing I had in mind was that the snowfield illusion should give people a bleak feeling. The rest, I didn't think much of it. ”

Sanders looked at the snowy landscape in front of him, muttering what Ingres called a "bleak feeling."

In this white and empty snowfield, there is a bleak feeling, but it is not the main axis of this fantasy.

The first feeling that this illusion gave Sanders was not bleakness, but-

The withering of life.

The vast snowfield, although often a forbidden area for life. But even so, there is still a faint sense of life in the snowy fields, such as the buds that wait for the next spring under the snowy fields, the fish that move slowly under the ice lake, and the plants that still hold on to their essence despite the cold...... These are all life on the snowfield, but in this fantasy world that Ingres constructed, Sanders did not feel.

It's too lifeless.

But Ingres himself said that when he constructed this fantasy, he didn't actually set the tone for it, so why did he think that this fantasy had another theme, and that it was the theme of the "melody of death"?

Sanders didn't know for the time being, but he vaguely felt that maybe this was the main reason why the mysterious objects could not be found in the snowy fantasy.

Sanders continues to search for mysterious figuratives in the snowy realm, and Ingres originally wanted to talk to him about the manifestations of other mysterious figurative objects, but Sanders kept thinking about it. He didn't bother Sanders, but left the illusion alone, returned to his bedroom, and refined the "Monument Valley Exclusive Illusion" promised to Sanders.

Since it was to be refined for Sanders, Angel naturally did not dare to slack off, and he began to rack his brains from the design of the appearance and the positioning of the style.

Sanders is a typical old aristocrat, according to Angels's idea, directly according to the preferences of traditional nobles, refining things such as canes, ornaments and so on should be about the same.

But then I think about it, Sanders and Grea are still different.

Grea has her own pursuit of the appearance of refinement - pompous luxury. Therefore, when Ingres was refining, he didn't think about whether the appearance should have any relationship with the inner illusion, and only needed to rely on the appearance to luxury.

However, if you were Sanders, with his personality, he wouldn't like things that are inconsistent, right?

For example, he crafted an ornate obsidian cane, and the illusion attached to it turned out to be a puzzle game. How to look, how awkward.

Ingres thought about it, but still ruled out the idea, and decided to refine a shape that matched "Monument Valley" more well.

After playing the Monument Valley game, Angel found that at the end of each chapter, the protagonist Ada would return a corresponding geometry from his hat. Aside from the obscure plot, the gameplay of the entire game is based on the theme of "geometry" and "contradictory space".

So, after thinking about it for a while, Ingres decided to refine a shape that combined the concepts of "contradiction" and "geometry". This is a good match for the illusion of Monument Valley.

Mixing the concept of contradiction with geometry, Ingres's mind has strange patterns in mind.

Such as the Penrose Ladder, the Klein Bottle, the Escher Cube, the Penrose Triangle, and many more......

Of course, there are many geometric patterns such as the Black Forest Illusion, blind spot offset, and demon tuning forks. However, because of the difficulty of construction, as well as the difference between the plane and the three-dimensional, Ingres was eliminated one by one, and in the end only a few patterns remained.

Of these patterns, Ingres' final choice was.

- Möbius Ring.

This is a pattern that represents the concept of geometry, and at the same time, it is very similar to the overall style of Monument Valley, and this pattern alone can remind people of many geometric and mathematical things.

Although the construction pattern was determined, it seems that making a Möbius ring directly does not seem to be beautiful.

Ingres thought about it and decided to wrap a transparent geometry around the outside of the Möbius ring and make it into an ornament.

The idea is clear, and Angel refines it extremely quickly.

From determining the shape of the refinery, to selecting the materials and finally producing the finished product, it takes less than two hours.

The Möbius ring is quietly suspended in the transparent diamond shape of crystal blue lines, with the corner of the diamond as the support point, making a bottom support.

On the whole, this ornament looks complicated, but the actual finished product is simple and bright, and at first glance it can make people have a sense of distance and amazement in geometry and mathematics.

Moreover, its shape is a diamond-shaped shell, which looks like a "monument", which is similar to Monument Valley.

Ingres was pleased with the ornament and had his own logo engraved on the base.

As for the name of this ornament, Ingres originally wanted to call it the Möbius Ring, but Morbius was not from the wizarding world, and it was difficult to explain, so he thought about it and decided to use the "Monument of the Strange Ring" as its name.

After refining the Strange Ring Monument, Ingres had nothing to do, he didn't know what was going on with Sanders, and he didn't want to bother him, so he simply continued to accumulate the foundation needed for the Eye of Nalda.

Tick tick tick –

The wall clock on the wall, the minute hand is slightly offset. When the minute hand turned around and the hour hand moved a stop, the voice of Sanders rang out in Ingres' ear.

"Come to the study. ”

For some reason, Ingres felt that there seemed to be some kind of emotion suppressed in Sanders's voice, giving him a strange feeling.

When he came to the study, Sanders had already put away the snowy illusion, and he sat at his desk, the pen in his hand quickly recording something. The Frost Moon Necklace is hung on the Falcon ornament that Ingres had refined.

"You sit down and wait for me for a moment. Sanders didn't look up, and said quickly.

As Sanders struggled to write, Ingres's eyes were once again on the Falcon ornament. In fact, from his current point of view, this Falcon ornament is not too delicate, and it is a bit shoddy.

But Sanders seemed to like it, and kept it on his desk and never removed it.

It seems that Sanders does have a deep love for Hayabusa.

Ingres pondered whether he might as well refine a Falcon Demon ornament another day, after all, if other wizards came to Saunders' study and saw that this ornament would be more expensive.

Angel had even built the Hayabusa pattern in his mind, and at this point, Sanders finally put down his pen.

He looked up and the first thing he said made Angel stunned.

"Remember, don't randomly integrate the power of mystery into the illusion in the future. ”

Sanders's expression was rare and solemn, which made Ingres unconsciously put away his frivolous attitude.

"Once the mysterious object is identified, it will instantly burst into a huge flow of information and envelop you, right?" Sanders asked Ingres instead of explaining the previous sentence.

"Yes. Ingres nodded, and suddenly he remembered something, and looked at Sanders in surprise: "Mentor, have you found the mysterious object in the snowfield illusion?"

Sanders didn't answer, but directly used his mental power to pick up the Frost Moon Necklace and put it in Angel's hand.

"See for yourself. ”

When the Snow Field was restarted, although it was still a white snowfield, Angel no longer felt any mystery. Apparently, Sanders has found a mysterious figurative.

"Mentor, what is the mysterious embodiment of the Snowfield Illusion? Could it be some snow slag?" Ingres asked curiously.

"Feel for yourself if there is any change in the Snow Fantasy. ”

With this question in mind, Ingres once again felt the illusion of the snowfield...... The snow field is vast, and a few snowflakes fall from time to time, and it looks the same as not so long ago, except that there is no mystery in it.

No, Angel frowned suddenly.

A little different, it seems that the Snow Fantasy looks a little more alive than before, less lifeless?

Ingres told him what he had discovered, but he wasn't sure if he was right. Even if the Snow Field Illusion is a little less lifeless, it shouldn't have anything to do with the mystery, right?

Saunders: "Of course it matters, the little thing that is missing is the mysterious concrete object that you can't find." ”

Angel was stunned, didn't he feel a little less lifeless?

Could it be that this feeling of lifelessness is actually a mysterious concrete? This is also incredible, a feeling can be turned into a mysterious concrete?

"You're wrong. It's not a feeling, it's a concept, and the mystical figurative is a concept called 'withering'. As he spoke, Sanders suddenly raised his hand, and ripples of energy bubbled out of his palm.

In the blink of an eye, Ingres felt a lifeless breath.

The destination of this energy ripple is a fragrant panda orchid on the balcony, when the energy ripple touches the pandan, the flower withers and the grass leaves wither.

"It's ......"

"That's withering. Sanders closed his eyes and said after a long pause: "This is also the reason why I asked you to carefully integrate the mysterious meaning into the illusion, because this withering technique is what I realized from that mysterious concrete." ”
