Chapter 223 Eris
"It seems we should say goodbye. This magic book will be placed here for the time being. We will need to live here for a few more days. When we meet next time, it will be the time for you to return it." Klaus stood up first.
"I still have this credit for borrowing and repaying it." Tang Bai patted the cover of the magic book.
From Klaus's tone, they were faintly revealed that they were about to leave here, which made Tang Bai's mood clearer. Why did he spend so much energy? Isn't it just to let the ancestors' family leave?
Of course, there is still a big loophole in the plan.
That is, Tang Bai didn't know when Michaelson, as his grandfather, came to New Orleans. He could only confirm that the time was roughly in this period of time he was in.
The reason why Klaus and Elijah were able to force them to leave was not how much trust Klaus and Elijah had in Tang Bai, but because of their own fear of their fathers that had accumulated over thousands of years. It was the real fear that could make them feel uncomfortable and timid about them just by just one name.
So at the beginning, Elijah and Klaus would definitely spend their energy to find out the truth and reality. If this news cannot be confirmed, Klaus and the others may still escape out of inner fear, but it is certain that the doubtful Klaus and the others will not escape too far. They will move to nearby cities and then closely monitor the situation in New Orleans.
The ancestors' family has been stationed in New Orleans for nearly two hundred years. They helped create the town and expand it. Here he created a joint management committee of supernatural creatures to coordinate and balance the conflicts between vampires, werewolfs, witches, and humans living here. Here Klaus has absolute influence and voice.
This influence and voice may be weakened as he leaves, but it will never collapse immediately and disappear. It will take a long time to completely erase the influence and marks of Klaus and the ancestor family remaining in this city.
This influence and voice ensured that even if Klaus was not here for a while, his subordinates in New Orleans would do things for him as he wished and act as his eyes and ears.
And if it had been a long time since New Orleans was still calm and Michaelson had not set foot, then Klaus and the others might not be able to help but make a comeback. After all, New Orleans is the most comfortable home they have operated in the past few hundred years. If they had not had to, they would not want to give up here.
So Tang Bai must prepare to rebound if Michaelson is not delayed, Klaus, who is suspicious, and the others in his heart are all prepared to rebound.
"Then let go." Elijah also stood up with Klaus, said goodbye to Tang Bai, and then he called out another greeting to Rebecca, who was still standing in front of the gorgeous mirror in the corner. However, his call did not receive the response he deserved.
Rebecca in front of the mirror was like he had not heard the call of his brother Elijah, still standing blankly, and even not moving his head.
"Rebecca? We should leave." Elijah's eyes fell on Rebecca who was deaf, with a look of surprise on her face.
"You have been staying in front of that mirror since you came in. Now we are leaving. How long do you have to stand in front of that mirror? Are you looking at your beauty? Let's go home and see your sister. Our good days for more than a hundred years may have come to an end." Klaus activated his super speed and flashed in the direction where Rebecca was. He put one hand on Rebecca's shoulder, and put the corner of his lips in front of her ear and said softly.
But when Klaus's eyes casually swept to the mirror that Rebecca was paying attention to, the smile on his face that seemed to care nothing suddenly froze, and the smile outlined at the corner of his mouth disappeared.
In that gorgeous mirror that was much taller than him, he saw himself and his sister. But he also saw some people who were not in front of the mirror.
Finn, Elijah, Rebecca, Cole, his mother Esther, and even his youngest brother Henrik, and his favorite Tatia Petrova from Elijah, also appeared in the mirror with a clever smile. Tatia Petrova was standing next to him in the mirror and smiling sweetly at him.
They sat at a table in the mirror and had a meal and communicated together. The joyful atmosphere made people feel extremely intoxicated. Standing in front of the mirror, Klaus even felt that as long as he stood in front of this mirror, everything he dreamed of could be obtained.
Strength, loyalty, family, and love!
"Klaus? What's wrong with you?" He noticed that Klaus had become silent and was stunned in front of the mirror. Elijah couldn't help but become nervous. He glanced at Tang Bai with a question in his eyes.
"Don't worry, although that mirror is a little special, it is not dangerous to people." Tang Bai comforted Elijah, whose body was tense.
Elijah glanced at Tang Bai suspiciously, walked to the mirror, but vigilantly controlled himself to not look at the mirror. He grabbed his younger brother Klaus and his younger sister Rebecca with one hand, and pulled them away from the mirror with force, so that they could stay away from the mirror.
"Wait a minute!" Rebecca suddenly shouted, struggling to return to the mirror.
"Calm down, Rebecca! No matter what you see, what you need now is calm!" Elijah grabbed Rebecca's arm tightly and took her to distance herself from the mirror again.
"I saw Mom, Henrik, and you, we lived together like we did a thousand years ago." Rebecca held Elijah's right arm with both hands, glanced at the direction of the mirror, and said to Elijah in a daze.
"Henric and his mother are dead, they have been dead for more than a thousand years. All you see is hallucinations, Rebecca!" Elijah's heart trembled, but his usual rationality and self-control immediately restored his calmness. He emphasized to the lost Rebecca in an almost cold tone.
"I really saw them! They were still talking to me." Rebecca's tone was a bit of a girl's unique weakness. She obviously woke up and knew that what she had just seen was illusory, but the immersive sense of reality still made Rebecca feel a little addicted and unwilling to wake up.
"What kind of mirror is that?" Elijah looked back at Tang Bai's eyes, with an inexplicable anger in her eyes.
"It has an inscription. That's its name." Tang Bai pointed at the top of the frame, and the series of exquisite and beautiful inscriptions of the talisman.
Following Tang Bai's fingertips, Elijah's eyes fell on the inscription on the frame.
"Erised!" (To be continued.)
