When Angor saw the abyss-like black hole in the mirror, he knew he was being watched.
Earlier, when Dark Earl entered the Stairs of Hanging Prison, he also saw this mirror and even left a mark on it. But nothing happened to Dark Earl. So why did Angor encounter this problem?
Comparing the difference before and after they entered, the answer was already very obvious. There was only one reason, and that was the oil painting.
Angor destroyed the painting and took away the wood inside. This must have triggered something hidden in the mirror, which noticed Angor's presence as soon as he touched the mirror again.
The dark abyss in the dressing mirror must have been made by the other party as well.
The goal was to "force" or "lure" Angor into the mirror. As for what would happen to Angor, it would not be good.
Therefore, as soon as he saw the Abyss Tunnel in the mirror, he quickly retreated and sealed the mirror.
As Jon always said, a wise man would not stand beside a collapsing wall. As someone who understood the principle of "no pain, no gain", he would not be so reckless as to wipe the mirror.
Before the dust was blown away, he had already made preparations to seal the mirror.
Mirror Sealing was related to the knowledge of space and mirror images, which happened to be Angor's current research topic. In order to study this topic, he repeatedly entered and exited Mirror Grudge's mirror space, so sealing the mirror was not difficult for him.
The mirror was the interface between two different "spaces". It was the most fragile part of the mirror. Once sealed, it would be very difficult to break.
Angor reacted quickly. Not long after he sealed the mirror, a hand reached out from the abyss.
This hand was made up of translucent gems. They were sparkling with a faint light and looked lustrous and translucent. However, the gemstones that made up the hand were bright red, as if they were just stained with fresh blood.
The gemstone hand's target was clear — Angor.
It was going to jump out of the mirror and drag Angor into it. However, the moment its hand touched the surface of the mirror, it was bounced back by an invisible force field.
This force field was Angor's Mirror Sealing.
The gemstone hand did not want to give up and tried to break the force field. However, no matter how hard it tried, the mirror remained unharmed.
Angor was right in front of the mirror, but the gemstone hand could not do anything other than hammering the mirror angrily.
In the end, when Angor was about to leave, the gemstone hand did something that shocked him greatly.
The hand poked the mirror with its little finger, and the finger was broken from the middle. A liquid that looked like blood flowed out from the broken part.
The jeweled hand pinched the severed little finger and used the "blood" inside as ink to write a row of crooked words on the mirror.
Angor did understand the words, but the words looked like they were written by a child … and the words were written in reverse.
Angor did not expect a monster that used its finger as a pen to understand what "Word Mirror" meant. He left the room after reading the words.
…
"Blood? What does it say? "The Black Earl was puzzled.
Angor: "An emotionless threat."
[Leave, or I'll give you a permanent residence permit.. .]
Dark Earl was stunned for a long time after hearing what Angor said. If he had a body, his brows would probably be furrowed like a mountain.
"What do you mean? Permanent residence permit? "
Angor shrugged. "Wrong word."
The gemstone hand did not only write the wrong words but also did not pay attention to the direction of the mirror. It wrote "permanent residence permit" instead of "permanent residence permit".
In the common language, these two characters were very similar, but one was an "emotional" threat. The so-called "permanent stay" meant "you can't leave, die here"; the other was a neutral noun without any emotional stance: "permanent residence permit".
In other words, the gemstone hand should have written something like "leave, or stay forever".
Unfortunately, the "wrong" word was lost. This was why Angor said it was an emotionless threat.
Black Earl was also stunned after learning the truth. In his mind, the existence in the mirror was either the so-called "Mirror Demon", or the "Hidden Mirror Man" who led a demon follower to steal the holy relic.
As for these two, be it the Mirror Demon God or the Hidden Mirror Person who was suspected to be one of the upper echelons of Nether City, they were both intelligent people in the eyes of the Black Earl.
Otherwise, how could they brainwash a demon follower?
But the owner of the gemstone hand did not look smart at all. In fact, it looked a little stupid.
This was far too different from what the Black Earl had imagined.
"Can you tell what kind of creature it is? A human or a monster? "Black Earl asked.
Before Angor could answer, Dorcas called from outside. "Black … Gold? Are you still in the room? "
Angor glanced at Black Earl. "Let's go outside. We'll talk on the way."
Black Earl did not object. Their conversation could not be hidden from the Lord of Wisdom. Or rather, the Wise Sage would have already seen what he was doing through the magic array, so there was no need for him to hide it any longer.
As expected, Angor immediately saw the Wise Overseer looking at him.
The Wise Overseer stared at Angor in silence. He didn't show too much emotion, but the look in his eyes was telling Angor that he had seen everything he said and did.
Angor could not do anything about it. This was the home of the Lord of Wisdom, who had been planning for ten thousand years. He had too much of an advantage. It would be difficult for Angor and Sunders to turn the tables.
This was why Dodoro told Angor that the Lord of Wisdom was not stupid. Unless they wanted to cause trouble in the underground sewers, they would have to go through the Lord of Wisdom first.
How to deal with the Lord of Wisdom was also a problem they had to deal with.
Angor sighed in his mind and looked away.
"Are we going to the third level now, sir?" Khael quickly asked when Angor came out of the room.
Khael glanced at the end of the corridor. "Or do you want to take a look at the void on this side?"
Take a look at the void? Why?
Angor did not know how to react. It was only when he saw Khael's serious expression that he realized what was going on.
Kael asked this question because he thought Angor might want to check the space on the right since he already checked the path on the left.
"No. Let's go back."
"Go back?" Khael was confused. "We're not going to the third level?"
"I don't think so."
"Huh?" Kael was just asking the question subconsciously. From his point of view, if they didn't find the wood spirit, then they had to go to the third floor. After all, the Black Earl had left a lot of markings on the third floor. Perhaps the wood spirit was among them.
He thought Angor had made a mistake, but now Angor was telling him that … he was not going to the third level?!
"Why?" Dorcas was the one who asked.
Everyone, including the Lord of Wisdom, was wondering why Angor did not want to go to the third level.
"The wood spirit should be on the second level. But I need to confirm its exact location." Angor gave a vague explanation to everyone's confusion.
"The wood spirit is on the second level? How did you come to this conclusion? "Dorcas was puzzled.
Angor remained silent for a moment before he said something Dorcas was familiar with. "Inspiration."
"Inspiration?!" Dorcas was shocked. "Are you that careless?"
"If that's what you call 'careless', then you've been living your life carelessly all this time."
Dorcas scratched his nose. He felt a little guilty, but he could not believe Angor's idea.
"I think the wood spirit is on the second level. If we can't find it, going to the third level will be a waste of time. Let's just leave."
Angor looked at Dorcas. "Good. If we can't find it, it'll buy you some time to explore the third level."
With that, Angor walked past the others and walked to the front of the group.
The others looked at Angor's back and exchanged glances. In the end, they had no choice but to follow him.
…
He didn't walk far before he heard some rustling noises. When he looked back, he saw Count Black already flying to his side.
"Shall we continue our topic?" Angor asked.
Black Earl: "… Okay."
Count Dark really wanted to ask Angor why he suddenly decided not to go to the second level. Did he find something? Or did he not want to continue this ridiculous game of "bonus points"?
But in the end, Count Dark held back. He trusted Angor's judgment. At least, Angor had made the right choice after entering the underground sewer.
As for how Angor came to such a conclusion, Count Dark decided not to think about it for now. He had already done a lot of ridiculous things before, but they all turned out to be correct. One more wouldn't make much of a difference.
"I can't tell what form the gemstone hand is in. But I think it's an earth elemental creature. " Angor recalled the gemstone hand and felt that it was similar to Portia the Wise in Wildstone Wasteland.
Portia the Wise was an earth elemental creature whose entire body was made of topaz.
As for the gemstone hand, it was made of something like a ruby or a red crystal.
"Earth elemental creatures do have gemstones and crystals," Count Dark said. "That's possible."
If the gemstone hand was an elemental creature, then the strange handwriting and typos could be explained. Furthermore, elemental creatures were not afraid of their limbs being damaged at all. The fact that the Gemstone Hand could break its own pinky looked horrifying. However, if one were to think of it as an elemental creature, then breaking off its pinky was just like cutting off a human's fingernail. It did not hurt or itch, and it could even grow back.
"The Noah Clan has always been proud of the earth. Does this earth elemental creature have something to do with Noah? "Angor asked another idea.
Count Dark considered and said, "The Noah Clan wasn't a complete family of earth elemental creatures. There were many other types of creatures. But it's true that most of them belonged to earth elemental creatures. As for Noah, according to the records, he should belong to the earth elemental race. But whether this earth elemental creature has something to do with him … I don't know. "
After listening to Count Dark's explanation, Angor suddenly thought of a possibility.
If the earth elemental creature really had something to do with Augustine, would it come from Augustine's ruins?
If that was the case, Augustine's ruins might have something to do with the "mirror".
The believers in the underground church worshipped the "Mirror Demon". Could it be related to Augustine's ruins as well? After all, the Black Earl had learned about Augustine from the Uisu language left behind by these believers.
But that was not what Angor cared about the most. What he was most concerned about was Augustine, the Mirror Demon God, the mirror … these names made him think of a mysterious item.
The Mirror of Truth.
This Mystery item was quite famous. It was as famous as "Book of Kael". Even in the Order Faction, it was one of the most confidential and well-protected Mystery items.
And it had another name.
Augustine's Twin Mirror.
…
The name of this Mystery item was enough to make Angor's imagination run wild.
Leaving the prefix aside, the "Twin Mirror" at the end of the name fit the current situation perfectly.
Along the way, they kept receiving information about "mirrors". Therefore, the "mirror" itself was worth thinking about.
Also, what was a "twin"?
As far as Angor knew, a twin was a pair of twins.
As for the image of Gemini, they had encountered it before. It came from … the Mirror Demon God's totem.
From the pattern, Angor could see that the "mirror" was divided into two halves. The left half represented a man wearing a hat, while the right half represented a long-haired woman.
Angor couldn't tell if they were real twins just by looking at the pattern. However, the pattern of the Mirror Demon was half male and half female, which suggested that they were twins.
Angor couldn't be sure, but there were so many clues that pointed to the mirror, the Mirror Demon, and Augustine.
Angor couldn't help but think.
He believed that Augustine's "Twin Mirror" was not in the ruins. According to Isabelle, the Mystery item was still in the Origin World, and she once borrowed it.
But even without the item, the ruins were still much more attractive to Angor.
Earlier, he came to the underground sewer for the wall. He wanted to see what was inside the ruins so that he could carry out his plan in the Nightmare Realm.
But now, he was interested in all the things related to "Mirror" in the ruins.
If "Augustine's Twin Mirror" really had something to do with Augustine Noah, the ruins might be where the mirror was found.
If that was the case, he would have to change his indifferent attitude toward the ruins.
