When Angel saw an abyss-like black hole appear in the mirror, he knew he was being stared at.
Before, the Black Earl entered the prison ladder and saw this mirror, and even left a mark on it, but nothing happened to the Black Earl. Why did something unexpected happen when he got here?
Comparing the differences before and after they entered, the answer is actually very obvious. There is one and only one reason, and that is the oil painting.
Angel destroyed the oil painting and took away the log inside. Apparently, he stimulated a certain existence hidden in the mirror. Once Angel came into contact with the mirror again, he was immediately noticed by the other party.
The dark abyss shown in the dressing mirror must have been caused by the other party.
The purpose is nothing more than to 'force' or 'lure' Angel into the mirror. As for what will happen after entering, it is definitely not a good thing.
Therefore, when Angel saw the abyss passage in the mirror, he immediately chose to retreat and at the same time blocked the mirror surface.
——As Jon often said: A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. How could Angel, who understood the principle of "do nothing, die", so recklessly wipe the mirror directly.
Before blowing off the dust, he made preparations and sealed the mirror surface.
Mirror blocking involves the knowledge of space and mirroring, which happens to be the subject of Angel's recent research. In order to study this topic, he has repeatedly entered and exited the mirror space of the mirror, so blocking the mirror is not difficult for him.
The mirror is the interface connecting two different "spaces" and is the most fragile. Once blocked, it is difficult to break open.
Angel responded quite promptly. Not long after he closed the mirror, a hand came out of the black hole of the abyss.
This hand is made of translucent gemstones, with a faint glow inside, making it look translucent. However, the color of the gemstones that make up this hand is bright red, as if it has just been stained with new blood.
.
The jeweler's target is very clear, it is Angel.
It was extremely fast and was ready to go directly through the mirror and pull Angel into the mirror. However, the moment its hand touched the mirror, it was bounced back by an invisible force field.
This force field is exactly the mirror blockade made by Angel.
The gem hand was unwilling to be blocked and tried to break the force field, but no matter how hard it tried, the mirror remained unscathed.
Seeing that Angel was so close but unable to break through the mirror, the jewel hand had no choice but to beat the mirror furiously.
At the end, when Angel was about to leave, the gem hand did something that surprised him.
I saw the jeweled hand stretched out its little finger and poked it at the mirror. The little finger was broken directly in the middle, and blood-like liquid flowed out of the broken gap.
The jeweled hand directly pinched the severed little finger and used the "blood" inside as ink to write a row of crooked letters in blood on the mirror.
Angel understood it, but the font looked like it was written by a child... and it was written backwards.
Angel didn't expect a monster that used his finger as a pen to understand what word mirroring meant. After reading the typesetting, he walked out of the room.
…
"Words in blood? What does it say?" the Black Earl asked in confusion.
Angel: "An emotionless threat."
"Get out of here, or I'll give you a residence permit forever."
Hearing Angel read out the row of words in blood, the Black Earl was stunned for a long time. If he had a body, he would probably have frowned at this time.
"What does this mean? Permanent residence permit?"
Angel shrugged: "Typo."
That jeweled hand not only wrote poorly, not paying attention to the direction of the mirror, but also made typos. The cruel words "stay forever" were written as "permanent residence permit."
In general text, the characters of these two are very similar, but one is a ruthless word with "emotion". The so-called "stay forever" means "you can't leave, just die here"; the other is
It is a neutral noun without any emotional stance: "Permanent Residence Permit".
In other words, the original handwriting on the gemstone should have been: Leave here, or stay forever.
It's a pity that as soon as the typo was made, the harsh words immediately softened. That's why Angel said this was an emotionless threat.
After knowing the truth, the Black Earl was stunned. When he thought about it, the existence in the mirror was either the so-called "Mirror God" or the "someone hiding the mirror" who led the Demon God believers to steal holy objects.
.
And these two, whether they are the Demon God of Mirrors or the "Mirror Hidden Man" who is suspected to be a high-level executive in Naraku City, in the eyes of the Black Earl, they are both smart people.
Otherwise, how to brainwash the followers of the devil?
But now the owner of the jeweled hand looks very unsmart...even a little stupid.
The gap between this and the Black Earl's imagination is huge.
"Can you tell what kind of creature the other party is? Is it a human or a monster?" asked the Black Earl.
Angel was about to answer when Doakes' voice came from outside: "Black, gold? Are you still in the house?"
Angel glanced at the Black Earl and said softly: "Let's go out first and talk as we go."
The Black Earl had no objection. Their conversation could not be hidden from the Wise Lord. In other words, when Angel went to wipe the mirror, the Wise Lord must have seen it through the God's perspective of the magic energy array, so there was no need to hide it.
After leaving the room, as expected, Angel immediately caught the eye of the wise master.
The wise master looked at Angel quietly. Although he did not show too many expressions, the deep meaning in his eyes was undoubtedly telling Angel: I have seen everything you said and done.
Angel had nothing to do about this. This was the home court dominated by the Wise Man. It had been laid out for thousands of years, and his advantage was too great. It would be difficult for them to change the focus here.
This is probably why Dotolo reminded him that "a wise man is not stupid". If he wants to cause trouble in the underground waterway, unless he flips the table, he can't get around the wise master.
How to deal with the relationship with the wise master is actually the situation they will face next.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Angel sighed softly in his heart and looked away.
"Sir, are we going to the third floor now?" Seeing Angel coming out of the room, Kael immediately stepped forward and asked.
After a pause, Kael glanced at the end of the road: "Or do you want to see the void here?"
Go and see the void? Why?
Angel was stunned for a moment and didn't react. It wasn't until he saw Kael's serious expression that he suddenly understood.
Kael probably thought that Angel had looked at the void on the left side of the road, and he might also want to look at the void on the right, so he asked this question.
"No, just go back."
"Go back?" Kael asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going to the third floor?"
"Probably, there's no need to go."
"Ah?" Kael originally asked subconsciously. In his opinion, since no wood spirit was found, he must go to the third floor. After all, the Black Earl also left many marks on the third floor. Maybe the wood spirit is there.
In those marks.
Unexpectedly, he thought Angel had made a slip of the tongue, but now Angel directly stated... that he would not go to the third floor?!
"Why?" It was Doakes who asked this.
But not only Doakes, but also everyone else and even the wise master wondered why Angel chose not to go to the third floor?
Faced with everyone's doubts, Angel gave a specious explanation: "The wood spirit should be on the second floor, but the specific location needs to be confirmed."
"The wood spirit is on the second floor? How did you come to this conclusion?" Doakes asked doubtfully.
Angel was silent for a moment and uttered a word that Doakes was quite familiar with: "Inspiration."
Doakes looked stunned: "Inspiration?! Is it so hasty?"
Angel: "If this is called carelessness, then you should have been living carelessly."
Doakes scratched his nose, feeling a sense of wrongdoing, but he really couldn't believe Angelti's inspiration.
Angel: "My judgment is that it should be on the second floor. If you can't find the wood spirit, going to the third floor is a waste of time. It's better to leave."
When Angel said this, he looked at Doakes: "Just in time, if you can't find the wood spirit, I can give you more time to explore the third floor."
After speaking, Angel ignored everyone and walked to the front.
Everyone looked at Angel's back, glanced at each other, and finally had no choice but to follow him.
…
Angel hadn't gone far when he heard a rustling sound in his ears. When he looked back, he saw that the Black Earl had already flown to his side.
"Shall we continue the topic?" Angel asked.
Black Earl: "...Okay."
The Black Earl actually wanted to ask Angel why he suddenly decided not to go to the second floor. Did he discover something? Or did he not want to continue this absurd "extra points" game?
But in the end, the Black Earl held back. He believed in Angel's judgment. At least every choice he made after entering the underground waterway was correct.
As for how Angel came to these judgments, the Black Earl planned to leave it aside for the time being. Anyway, Angel had done many incredible things before but later proved to be correct, not even one more.
"About that gem hand, I can't judge its existence form. However, I feel a bit like an earth elemental creature." Angel recalled the gem hand, always feeling that it was somewhat similar to the wise man Portia in the Wild Stone Wasteland.
Portia the Wise Man is an earth creature whose body is made of citrine.
And that gem hand is made of something like ruby or red crystal.
"Among earth elemental creatures, there are indeed gems and crystals in the form." Black Earl: "You say so, it is possible."
If Gem Hand were an elemental creature, then the inconsistent handwriting and typos would be understandable. Moreover, elemental creatures are not afraid of limb damage at all. Gem Hand broke his little finger, which looked very scary, but if you think of it as
If it is an elemental creature, then if it breaks off its little finger, it will be like cutting a human nail. It will not hurt or itch, and it can grow back again.
"The Noah family has always been proud of the earth. Could this earth creature be related to the ancestor Noah?" Angel came up with another idea.
The Black Earl pondered for a moment and said: "The Noah family was not a complete earth family in the early days, and there were many other families mixed in. However, the earth lineage accounted for the majority, and this is true. As for the ancestor Noah,
According to the records, it should be from the earth lineage. However, there is no record of whether this earth creature is related to him."
After listening to the Black Earl's story, Angel suddenly thought of a possibility.
If the earth creature is really related to Augustine, could this earth creature come from the land left behind by Augustine?
If this is pushed forward, Augustine's legacy should be related to the "mirror".
As for the believers in the underground church, who worship the "Mirror Demon", could they also be related to Augustine's legacy? After all, it was from this group of believers that the Black Earl learned about Augustine.
It was spied in the Uisu language below.
The above is not what Angel cares about most. What he cares about most is Augustine, the Demon of Mirrors, Mirror...these names remind him of a mysterious object.
Mirror of truth!
This mysterious object is quite famous, even as famous as the "Book of Kel"! Even in the Lawful Guild, it is the most secret, top-notch, and most strictly protected mysterious object.
And it also has a name——
Augustine's twin mirror!
…
Judging from the name of this mysterious object, it was enough to make Angel daydream about it.
Let’s not look at the prefix for the moment, but talk about the “twin mirror” at the end, which is very suitable for the current situation.
Along the way, they always encountered information related to "mirrors" from time to time, so the object of the mirror itself is worthy of scrutiny.
Next, what is "twin"?
In Angel's understanding, twins are twins.
As for the image of the twins, they had also encountered it this time, from... the pattern of the Demon God of Mirrors.
In the pattern of the Mirror Demon, you can clearly see that it is divided into two halves with a circle as the boundary. The left half circle is a man wearing a hat, and the right half circle is a long-haired woman.
Although it is impossible to tell whether they are real twins just from the pattern; however, the pattern of the Mirror Demon is half male and half female, which gradually looks like twins.
Even if it cannot be completely confirmed, so many clues revolve around the mirror, the Mirror Demon and Augustine.
This forced Angel to think more.
Angel believed that Augustine's twin mirror must not be where it was left. Because according to Isabel, this mysterious object now remains in the source world, and she once borrowed it.
But even without this mysterious object, the attraction of the legacy to Angel has been greatly enhanced.
When he came to the underground waterway before, he came mainly for the wall. He wanted to see what was going on in the remaining ground so that he could act in the nightmare world.
But now, he has become interested in everything related to "mirrors" left in the land.
If "Augustine's Twin Mirror" is really related to Augustine Noah, the legacy may be the place where the Twin Mirror was born.
If this is really the case, Angel's previous indifferent attitude towards the legacy may have to change.
