He hadn't seen Sanders for nearly a month, and when Angels saw him again, he was sitting in a chair by the window in the study with his legs crossed, basking in the sun all day.

He was dressed in a very regular manner, almost indistinguishable from his usual attire, a complicated but strict black gown, black trousers and black leather boots, white lace gloves, and a short cane and a low cap.

At first glance, it was as usual, but when Angel got closer, his eyebrows frowned.

Sanders' hat was pressed low, and only the bridge of his nose and thin lips with a distinct line could be seen in the distance. But when he closed the door of the study and walked to Sanders's side, he faintly noticed something strange.

A black thread ran through his hidden eyes under the shadow of his hat and hung in his ear.

In the past, Ingres had seen a vertical chain fall on Sanders's ear, but that represented one-sided glasses, which was the standard for many aristocratic wizards. But this black line, obviously with a cloth texture, has a clear gap with the metallic one-sided glasses.

"Mentor, I'm here. Angel whispered.

Sanders didn't look up, still pressing the brim of his hat, letting the sunlight shine dappled spots of light on him: "Sit down, I'm just going to test the alchemy illusion you refined, and it just so happens that you are here, you can tell me about your experience when refining." ”

"Of course, I'm not referring to alchemy, but to the state you are in when you are refining, and I want to try to find out if there is any intrinsic connection between the final manifestation of the mysterious and concrete objects and your state. Sanders said.

Angel let out an "um".

Sanders didn't immediately start to test Angels' alchemy illusion, and still leaned lazily on the back of his chair: "You came to me this time, it shouldn't be just for the alchemy illusion, right?"

Angel nodded, he originally wanted to ask about Sanders' condition in the past few days, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly couldn't ask. He could only change the conversation and whispered: "Mentor, I have already mastered the Eye of Narda these days, and I have also identified the diamond-shaped crystal that the small spot gave me." ”

Sanderston paused for a moment, then finally looked up and looked at Angel with a look of surprise.

Ingres was about to tell the results of the test, but when Sanders looked up and saw his eyes in the shadows, Ingres was suddenly stunned.

A hideous scar cut from Sanders's forehead, passed through his right eye, and finally settled on his cheekbone.

Sanders' entire right eye is covered in a black blindfold, and the black line that Ingres saw earlier is the line of the blindfold.

"Mentor, your eyes ......"

Sanders took off his hat absently and put it on the table next to him. Under the direct sunlight, Ingres could see more clearly, the scar was not only hideous, but also full of terrifying, violent disorder energy.

Sanders touched the edge of the wound, "I got a little bit of a wound when I went to the Nightmare Realm. ”

In just one sentence, it was plain and uneventful, but it made Ingres seem to see a bloody storm behind him.

As Sanders spoke, the scar on his right eye was slowly drawing a drop of blood.

"There is energy residue on the scar, so the healing is not ideal. Sanders said.

Ingres now understands that such a terrifying scar has not shown any signs of healing in the month since Sanders returned to reality, no wonder Sanders has been avoiding it.

"Mentor, what is the area where the mysterious attic is located, and what did you encounter there?" Ingres asked.

Sanders was silent for a while before he said, "Nothing happened." ”

"Didn't encounter anything, what happened to the mentor's injury?"

"It's because I didn't encounter anything, so that's the more terrifying thing. Sanders smiled bitterly: "The area where it is located should not be the periphery, but it is not close to the core area, and I don't know." ”

When Angel wanted to ask more specifics, Sanders waved his hand: "What happened there, let's talk about it later." I've got the coordinates, and the next time I see Eliza, I'll give her the wooden lock, and you don't have to worry about the Scarlet Throne. ”

Sanders was reluctant to speak, and Ingres knew that he would not get an answer even if he asked, so he could only nod his head and say no more about it.

"Is the mentor's injury and eyes okay now?"

"The wound is healing, but it's healing slowly. As for the eyes...... I've asked Flora out to help me inquire, and I'm going to transplant an eye. Sanders looked down and smiled, he hadn't planned to transplant his eyes yet, as they were a hallmark of his family. But now I have to transplant, and I can't help it.

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you. The Eye of Nalda isn't that easy to learn, and I didn't expect you to progress so quickly. I once heard a rumor that the most powerful alchemist in Sky Machinery City, the 'mediocre' muse, was the most powerful alchemist in the current Southern Alchemy Realm, and it took him a month to learn the Eye of Nalda. You and him don't seem to be far apart. Sanders put his hat back on and looked at Ingres, "Tell me, what was the result of your identification of that diamond-shaped crystal?"

Sanders has a high evaluation, but Ingres himself knows very well that there is still a gap between him and an alchemical genius like Muse, and even a gap with Midora. If it weren't for the calculations of the Vientiane Axis and the Holographic Tablet, it would not have been possible for him to successfully cultivate the Eye of Narda in a month.

However, it was naturally impossible for Ingres to tell the details of the inside, so he took the diamond-shaped crystal from the bracelet and answered Sanders's question: "There are many questions about this diamond-shaped crystal, and I have not identified it. But based on the results and my own speculation, I think that the mentor's original guess may have been correct. ”

Sanders' eyes froze, "What do you mean?"

"It should be a soul power that can be passed on. As Ingres said this, he visibly felt Sanders' expression become serious.

And, in an instant. Angel could no longer hear the insects and birds outside, or the wind in the forest.

He was dragged into the Gravity Garden by Sanders.

"In the outside world, anything you say may be recorded by the strings of the world, the wheel of time, and other general trends, so be cautious in what you say and do. Sanders said in a solemn tone.

"Are you sure this is a soul power that can be passed on?" Sanders took the diamond-shaped crystal, and when he looked closely, he couldn't see anything in it, but he noticed extremely faint fluctuations.

"It can be passed on, I can be sure of that. Because that's the common divisor of all the results I've identified. Angler paused: "But the soul power is what I surmised based on the picture I saw in the Sleepless City. Moreover, in the results of my appraisal, there is also a mention of soul supernatural powers. ”

Sanders knew that Angel had killed Hook Dick, and that the Dalmatian had absorbed Hook Dick's soul vein. Therefore, he is actually more convinced of Ingres's speculation.

"The soul supernatural power is inseparable, but until you know exactly what kind of soul supernatural power it is, don't touch it for the time being. Sanders returned the diamond-shaped crystal to Angle.

Although it has not yet been determined whether it was Dalmatian who transformed Hukdick's soul vein, this soul power that can be passed down alone has already confirmed Dalmatian's powerful ability.

Sanders rarely showed remorse, but he did regret that he should have forcibly taken the Dalmatian when he was in Sleepless City...... It's a pity.

Sanders thought for a moment: "Is it a soul supernatural power, and what is this soul supernatural power...... Just ask Nice, and you'll find out. ”

Sanders is a man of action, and when he said this, he left the Gravity Garden with Angel directly: "Let's go, go to the Valley of the Souls to meet my old friend." ”

As he spoke, Sanders's face suddenly distorted, and the hideous wound was hidden by the Nightmare and changed to an intact appearance again.

On the way to the Valley of the Souls, Ingres retrieved the five falcon ornaments with mysterious figurative objects from Sanders.

He wanted to try what would happen to the Alchemy Illusion with the Eye of Nalda, which had mysterious representations.

Half an hour later, Ingres, with contemplation, returned the falcon ornament to Sanders.

"What are the results?" Sanders leaned back in the gondola's seat and looked at Angel.

Ingres hesitated: "When I was doing the operation of the Narda algorithm, I only saw one variable. ”

"This variable should be a mysterious figurative?" Sanders asked.

Angel nodded, his face confused: "It should be right." But the strange thing is that there is only one variable, but the final result of my evaluation is a failure. When I identified the rhombic crystals, there were many variables, and they all ended up with several sets of results...... It's weird. ”

"Does one variable make the whole appraisal go wrong?" Sanders pondered for a moment: "Just because the appraisal fails doesn't mean it's worth more than the diamond crystal...... Variable equals unknown, perhaps the unknown is more limited than you think. ”

Ingres roughly understood what Sanders meant.

Assuming that this variable is an unknown, although there are many unknowns in the rhombic crystal, each unknown has a limited range, for example, the limit range of "X" is 0 to 5. However, the unknown "Y" of the mysterious figurative object is limited to negative infinity to positive infinity.

Although both are variables and are unknown, the success rate of the final identification will vary depending on the interval.

According to this reasoning, it makes sense. The mysterious figurative object is indeed a completely unknown variable.

"I don't know, what kind of results other alchemists will get if they identify the alchemy illusion with mysterious objects?" Ingres secretly speculated in his heart, would he also fail to identify?

Ingres didn't continue to dwell on this issue, because the valley of the soul of Nice had already arrived.
