"Huff, huff, everyone must die, come down and be buried with me!" When she said the last sentence, the faint voice suddenly rose and became shrill.
Accompanied by unsuppressable panting, terrifying cries filled with intense hatred reverberated in this gloomy haunted house …
Elwyn and Sirius quickly turned around. There was nothing but dirty, peeling wallpaper.
"Show yourself quickly!" Elwyn waved his magic wand and a mirror placed in the corner appeared.
It was a gorgeous golden mirror, supported by two claw-shaped feet, covered with dust.
Through the dust, they saw a woman appear in the big mirror.
It was staring at them gloomily, sticking out its long tongue to lick its bright red lips, with a strange smile on its face.
But the smile disappeared in a flash, and the woman became pitiful again, making people wonder if what they saw just now was just an illusion.
Elwyn blinked and had to admit that it was a very beautiful woman, about 20 years old, wearing aristocratic clothes from hundreds of years ago, and her skin was pale, showing a strange milky white, like smoke quietly floating in the mirror …
It felt like there was a window between them, and she was standing in the "window" and looking out.
Elwyn's gaze then fell from the other party to a line of words on the frame. It was ancient magic text, the runes of this mirror, which could provide it with magic, making this woman appear in it. Just like the Eris Magic Mirror, what appeared in front of people was not reality, but the strongest desire in the heart of the person standing in front of the mirror.
This was a magic mirror, but what Elwyn cared about was that the magic text on the frame seemed to be carved later.
Compared to the craftsmanship of the mirror itself, the carving of this line of magic text was a little too rough, crooked and not neat.
"Who are you? Or, what are you? "Sirius asked cautiously, pointing at it with his magic wand.
"My name is Ariana, the former owner of this house, but that was more than 500 years ago!" The woman in the mirror said, her eyes falling on Elwyn, "You are from Boothbottom Magic School, right? I used to study magic there."
"Yes!" Elwyn did not point out this mistake, he was looking at the other party.
Since this mirror was only a tool to make it appear, then this ghost-like thing, where was its body?
It was really a wonderful magic, originally just tracking the owl-people here, did not expect to see more interesting things.
"Why did you appear in our family's ancestral house, did you also see that terrible monster?" Ariana's body rolled and shook as if he could not wait to come out of the mirror, then he calmed down and asked, "Did it attack you?"
"If you mean that owl-people monster, we did follow it here, but after entering this house, it disappeared!" Elwyn asked, "If you have been here, then you should know where it is!"
"It left and returned to the castle outside the city, which is the place you call the Owl Fortress." Ariana said, closing his eyes, "When I was still alive, that used to be our family's castle …"
"Owl Fortress?! What happened here? What's with the curse you mentioned just now? "
"This is an unfortunate story, not long ago, I saw with my own eyes poor old Mary, the last member of our family, was torn apart alive by it. She died in front of me, her body turned into a pile of rotten meat. It knew that I could see it, it was taking revenge. " Ariana said faintly, a sorrowful expression on his face, "The power of that terrible curse made it come back to life, becoming the owl-people you saw, that nightmarish monster, even though 500 years have passed, it still wants to kill all the descendants of the Duke of Burgundy. It is taking revenge, it has achieved its goal, now it is your turn, everyone must die!"
"Speak clearly, who is this' it 'you are talking about?" Sirius said impatiently, looking at the other party suspiciously.
A ghost that hid in the mirror, its real body could not be seen, and every time it opened its mouth, it would curse and die.
No matter how he looked at it, it was more suspicious than the owl-people …
At the very least, Elwyn could be sure that the owl-people was not his opponent.
But this guy in the mirror, he did not know how to deal with it. Breaking the mirror would not be of any use, it was just a tool for it to show itself.
"The root of all misfortune is in the era when I was still alive, which is more than 500 years ago. That was the most glorious and prosperous era of our family, we lived in the castle outside the city, we were the guardian family of magic in the Burgundy region." Ariana continued, recalling the past, "When I was 18 years old, I was engaged to a wizard from the Capet family of Paris, it was a very old and very prestigious pure-blood wizard family, just like we are a branch of the Duke of Burgundy, their close relatives in the Muggle World ruled Paris and the whole of France."
"Putting aside his identity, he himself was also a very good wizard, we studied together in Boothbottom, we loved each other deeply!" As Ariana said, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "We could have lived happily together, but just as we were about to get married, everything changed, a witch from Afrika changed everything, she was an evil witch who could use the power of the devil …"
"A witch from Afrika?" Elwyn repeated in a low voice, "Use the power of the devil!"
"Yes, this witch is very evil. It is said that in their mysterious tribe, there is an ancient demon in the form of an owl, she can use the power of this demon. She came to our castle, my father received her warmly, and invited her to my wedding, but she used aphrodisiac to seduce my lover. "
