After admiring the oil painting, Rhein left the Vine Tower with a sigh.
In the Vine House, only Angel, Sanders, and Nami Midori were left.
"Does Lord Nami Midori have something to say?" It was Angel who spoke.
He noticed that after returning from the Void, Nami Midori’s usually indifferent golden vertical pupil carried a trace of hesitation, as if wanting to say something, but for some reason, it remained silent. So, Angel took the initiative to ask.
Nami Midori was silent for a long time before saying, "I still want to see the Tree Spirit."
"Ah?"
As Angel inquired further, he finally understood. During Nami Midori’s previous conversation with the Tree Spirit, it had received quite an inspiration and wanted to continue chatting with the Tree Spirit.
Angel knew very well that for Nami Midori to admit it had received significant inspiration was a challenging matter. It might even move Nami Midori’s stubborn realm; otherwise, Nami Midori would not be so keen.
Could it be, his previous guess was correct, that Nami Midori’s breakthrough was indeed related to the Tree Spirit?
Angel speculated silently in his heart, but his expression betrayed nothing, calmly saying, "Of course, there is no problem. I can refine a special log-in device for you later, so you can freely enter the Wilderness of Dreams."
Nami Midori actually wanted to refuse, not wanting to owe too many favors. However... the log-in device, it truly desired.
It could feel that the information known by the Tree Spirit was extremely beneficial, even surpassing the knowledge imparted by Mr. Feng. Although not yet causing a realm destabilization, it allowed progress in that direction.
Because of this, after pondering for a moment, Nami Midori nodded, "Then, thank you."
Angel smiled slightly, "No problem, I’m happy to assist."
Then, Angel motioned for Nami Midori to find a comfortable position, and with the Dream Entering Technique, sent it into the Wilderness of Dreams.
After Nami Midori fell asleep, Angel returned to the Vine House.
He exchanged a glance with Sanders but said nothing, instead directly opening the Geometric Lock, with numerous geometric patterns instantly enveloping the entire Vine House.
The presence of the Geometric Lock not only prevented external spying but also kept the aura of the Mysterious Object from spreading outside.
Having done all this, under Sanders’ intense gaze, Angel took out the "Mad Hatter’s Coronation."
"Is this the Mad Hatter’s Coronation? Why is it just a small box?"
Sanders looked puzzled at the small metal box on the vine table. The box was quite pretty, with intricate antique bronze-colored rose vine patterns on all sides and a blooming rose made of red crushed diamonds in the center. In the heart of the rose was a black cross.
Pretty as it was, Sanders couldn’t quite see...the flavor of a Mysterious Object.
"The true Mysterious Object is inside the box; you might want to open it and see, Mentor."
At Angel’s words, Sanders gently opened the box, finding nothing inside except for a Magic Pattern exuding a strong Mysterious Aura, engraved on the box wall.
"Is this the Mysterious Object...a Magic Tattoo Horn?"
"Yes."
With Angel’s affirmative response, Sanders was visibly surprised.
Before this, he only knew the Mad Hatter’s Coronation as a Mysterious Object useful for Enchantment Alchemy. From its name, he speculated it might be a special hat that, when worn, could enhance Enchantment Alchemy.
However, the real situation was entirely different from what he imagined; it turned out to be a Magic Tattoo Horn.
Could a Magic Pattern also transform into a Mysterious Object?
Though Sanders was reluctant to believe it, the fact was right before him—Magic Patterns could indeed become Mysterious Objects. Moreover, the intense Mysterious Aura it exuded had already confirmed its identity.
After a moment of bewilderment, Sanders finally regained his thoughts: "How is it used? Does one engrave a Magic Pattern, then attach it?"
"Though not exactly, that’s a way to understand it," Angel said, beginning to explain the usage of the Mysterious Magic Pattern.
After hearing the use, Sanders finally breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, he thought this was a one-time-use Magic Pattern, but it now seemed it could be used repeatedly.
"As for the specific effects, I’ll demonstrate them for you, Mentor." After pondering a moment, Angel mumbled, "I promised to refine a log-in device for Lord Nami Midori earlier, so I might as well do it now."
Originally, Angel intended to use the Immaculate Magic Pattern as an example, but since he had already promised to make a log-in device for Nami Midori, he decided to use the log-in device as the demonstration.
Besides, Angel was also curious about what changes would occur to a log-in device crowned with the Mad Hatter.
Angel retrieved the materials needed for the log-in device from his bracelet space, then began to contemplate what form the device should take.
Previously, Angel had made many types of log-in devices, including glasses, rings, hats, and earrings. However, these styles wouldn’t work for Nami Midori; either they were too small or unsuitable.
Angel didn’t know Nami Midori’s aesthetic preferences, and using items humans commonly used as the log-in device might not appeal to it.
After a moment of thought, Angel made a decision.
He decided to create a cyan scale that could be considered a snake scale, completely merging with Nami Midori’s skin, or seen as a petal, floating around Nami Midori.
After making the decision, he began the refining process.
The log-in device comprises two parts, which can be understood as software and hardware. The software involves the internal engraved Magical Energy Array—"Energy Storage Space"; and the hardware is the Demonic Material carrying the "Energy Storage Space."
Different Demonic Materials can showcase varying effects of the Energy Storage Space.
The better the Demonic Material, the more it extends the usability of the Energy Storage Space. For example, the first log-in device Angel crafted varied in login counts due to different Demonic Materials, with some having 149/149 uses, while others had 979/979 uses.
The hardware dictates the software’s performance.
This time, for Nami Midori’s log-in device, Angel dared not choose inferior materials, though overly good materials were unnecessary because of the log-in device’s material grade cap.
The primary materials used were Cyan Agate, Frost Cold Sand, and Blue Tranquil Wood; the cooling material was Pasent Liquid, and the shaping material was Agate Stone.
These materials were mostly mid to low-level, and with Angel’s current Alchemy prowess, the refining process was swift. In just a short while, the previously half-table pile of materials was refined into a small, jade-green liquid mass no larger than a baby’s palm under Freezing Technique.
