Chapter 2591 Mural

Dox did not refuse, and walked directly to the side of the Star Color Stone, and began to study how to pry it open best. However, he did not stop muttering: "Your bloodline is indeed a little weak in terms of power. Otherwise, come with me to the abyss next time, and I will choose a high-quality bloodline for you again."

Faced with Dox's ridicule, Angel said lightly: "I won't go. However, if you can really get a high-quality bloodline above the intermediate top level in the abyss, I will pay for it."

Angel himself does not need it, but he can prepare it for his brother Leon first.

However, the premise of all this is that Dox can really hunt the abyss monsters above the intermediate top level.

Looking at Dox who suddenly fell silent not far away, everyone already understood that the difficulty of this matter has exceeded Dox's strength.

However, how terrible the abyss monsters above the intermediate top level are, the two apprentices present have no idea.

Just when they were curious, a voice came from behind.

"I can find you a high-quality bloodline of the intermediate top level or above. Are you willing to take it?" The speaker was the Black Earl who had just flown down the stairs. Although he was outside, his mental power had been paying attention to the situation in the hall.

Facing the Black Earl's question, Angel said without hesitation: "No."

"What if it is the bloodline of a high-level demon? This is comparable to a third-level true knowledge wizard. You don't want it?"

"No." Angel still said decisively without any euphemism.

The Black Earl smiled and did not ask why Angel didn't want it. Instead, he fell from the air, leaned on the corner of the desk, and leisurely watched Dox pry the star color stone.

This sudden conversation made the two apprentices roughly understand why Dox didn't dare to hunt for the intermediate top bloodline, but another question came up. Why was the Black Earl willing to give Angel a top-level bloodline, but Angel didn't want it?

In fact, the answer is very simple, Angel can't afford it.

The Black Earl directly said "give" instead of "trade". This certainly does not mean that the Black Earl will give Angel a high-level bloodline, but the trading conditions that the Black Earl wants to propose cannot be explained in a simple sentence or two.

If Angel urgently needs the bloodline of a high-level demon, he would be willing to listen to what conditions the Black Earl would propose in private.

But he is not in such a hurry. His brother Leon is still an apprentice and there is still a long way to go before he can inject high-level demon blood.

Since it is not urgent, why bother to suffer.

Moreover, judging from the attitude of the Black Earl not asking the reason later, Angel is sure that if he really agrees, the conditions proposed by the Black Earl will definitely not be simple.

It will definitely be a big trouble.

And what Angel hates most is to get into such troubles, because he has been involved in enough troubles...

As for why he agreed to Dox going hunting? The answer is also very simple. Dox can't beat the top-level monsters in the abyss. Even if Sanders encounters such monsters, he will not provoke them, not to mention that Dox has not even entered the true knowledge.

Of course, if Dox really got this bloodline and no one else intervened behind the scenes, Angel would trade with him as he said before.

Even if Dox also made some troublesome requests, Angel believed that no matter how troublesome it was, it would not be as troublesome as the request made by the Black Earl.

Perhaps because of the previous conversation, the atmosphere in the air was slightly solemn.

However, this solemnity did not last too long, because Dox had pried open the four embedding holes of the star stone, and the loose star stone slowly sank into Dox's hand.

Without any words, everyone's eyes were focused on the back of the star stone at the same time.

"Murals, there are really murals!" Kael shouted, while pulling Dox's arm, looking very excited.

"If there are murals, there are murals. Why are you pulling me?" Dox muttered, turned the star stone over to the back, and re-embedded it on the wall, so that it would be easier to see.

The reason why Kael pulled Dox was because although he was the one who discovered the mural, it was Dox who gave him hope and made him examine the star stone so carefully.

Dox's mouth was really blessed! Whatever you say, it will come.

When Kael was about to explain to Dox, Angel interrupted him with his eyes. The meaning conveyed in that look was very simple, and Kael understood it.

——Just enjoy it silently. If you really point it out, you may not be able to enjoy it for free.

Kael thought about it and felt that it was right. Dox himself seemed to have not discovered the clues yet, so what he said now was all free "inspiration". If he really discovered it, he might have to charge for it.

It's better not to say it.

Kael weighed it and shut up immediately.

However, although Kael shut up, a question still arose in his heart: Everyone found that Dox's mouth seemed to be enlightened, why did Dox himself not notice it?

This is actually the same reason that people in the chess game can never see it clearly as those outside the chess game.

The reason why Dox came to explore the ruins was because he had a hunch that his inspiration seemed to have a faint sign of breakthrough. And this inspiration was right.

Dox is now in a chess game where inspiration is about to break through into a talent. Perhaps it is the intentional influence of inspiration, or some kind of rule restriction. Dox is normal in other aspects, but he pays less attention to inspiration. This is also the reason why he is a chess piece without knowing it.

To solve this mystery, only Doakes discovered that the flower of inspiration was blooming silently, and then he escaped from the identity of a chess piece, allowing the flower of inspiration to completely bear fruit. This is the most perfect solution.

Of course, others can remind him, but once he is reminded, Doakes will have to rely on his luck if he wants his inspiration to break through again.

In other words, at this moment, anyone who reminds Doakes thinks that they have done a good thing, but when Doakes reacts, he will definitely be on his hate list.

Vai was reminded by the Black Earl, and now Kael was also deceived by Angel.

Now that all external interference has been eliminated, it depends on Doakes whether he can break through.

Speaking of which, Doakes's luck was quite good. There was actually no need for the Black Earl to help Doakes. After all, Doakes provoked him many times along the way; but when Doakes was in the "chess game", his I am bursting with inspiration, and I can literally get whatever I say. This is an extremely special state of inspiration.

This is very useful for them to explore.

Once Doakes is alerted, this spurt of inspiration ends. The Black Earl doesn't want to see this happen either. After all, this exploration is also related to the Noah family. Doakes' inspiration spurt can give them hints and allow them to discover many clues that are usually difficult to find.

Just like the Star Stone this time, if it hadn't been for the confidence given by Doakes, Kael might not have been able to find out what was wrong. Others would not think of turning over a faded star stone.

Let’s talk about the back side of the star stone.

The mural on the back is quite well preserved, both in color and texture, as if it were new. The reason is also very simple. The quality of this star stone is high enough, and it is on the back. There are two energy channels of the magic energy array on it, which means that energy is maintained at all times.

This creates such a mural with bright colors that have not faded at all.

The murals are well preserved, making the contents of the murals easier to understand.

Roughly speaking, the pattern of the mural is divided into two circles: the inner and outer circles. The outer circle is composed of believers kneeling on the ground. They are like a ring, wrapping the inner circle in the center.

The outermost believers are very small and blurry, but the closer to the inner circle of believers, the larger and larger they become, their clothes become more delicate, and even the faces under the hood are very detailed.

This size of body is not due to racial differences, but to the painter's perspective and exaggeration to highlight the central figure.

Those close to the inner circle must be the core believers.

I don't care about these believers for now, because even those in the inner circle have half their faces covered by hoods, so it's hard to see who they are.

The most core and most important thing is the inner circle.

Because the inner circle depicts the "god" they admire, and is also the object of worship by believers.

"These should be the followers of the Mirror Demon, right? The one in the middle, is this the Mirror Demon?" Doakes looked at the god in the middle with a strange look in his eyes: "Why does this style of painting feel a bit strange?"

Not only Doakes felt weird, but everyone else had a strange mood, as if the painting style had been separated.

The kneeling believers in the outer circle are in the common style of religious murals, and the atmosphere is well-done, giving it a vague sense of epicness.

But the painting style of the inner circle... is completely different. The Black Earl can't tell what style it is. It's just that it sounds a bit like a noble badge?

To say it is a noble emblem is actually a bit exaggerated, because the design of many noble family emblems will contain family stories. Even if it lacks an epic feel, it certainly has a sense of depth.

In Angel's opinion, the style of painting in front of him is actually more like the graffiti of a circus clown.

The whole thing is a black hollow circle, but this circle is drawn with a diagonal line, dividing the circle into two halves evenly.

The left half, after careful identification, should be a man wearing a black top hat with white flowers and a mask with a strange smile on his face.

On the right half is a woman's profile, her long blond hair spread out, covering her graceful outline.

A circle, two people with different styles, the same exaggerated painting style.

"Is this the Mirror Demon God they worship?" Doakes thought he was free-thinking and could accept everything, but seeing this style of painting, he still couldn't accept it. Judging from the high and long tail tone when he asked, see.

As for Vai, who was born into a noble family and was also a wizard, and had a good education in painting, he even felt a headache, and even his temples were slightly swollen. This style of painting is really too wild and outrageous.

On the other hand, Angel accepted it well. Although he was also born into a noble family, he had seen many different paintings on the holographic tablet. Including extremely exaggerated and anthropomorphic cartoons, so looking at this painting, I feel okay.

The only doubt is, is this really a demon? Can the Demon God accept such a style of painting?

After a period of silence, Kael was the first to speak: "It should be the Demon God of Mirrors. Look carefully. The man on the left wearing a high hat and mask. The white flowers on his hat are actually mirror flowers, made of mirrors. It’s just the white tape next to it that reflects the white color.”

"The woman on the right wears a necklace around her neck. From the chain to the pendant, it is made of lenses. Although her earrings are blocked by her hair, the artist deliberately painted a line of light where the earrings are. I guess the earrings should also be mirrored. of."

After Kael finished speaking, Doakes sighed deeply: "Has it reached the point where you can tell that someone is the Demon God of Mirrors just by looking at the mirror?"

Kael lowered his head in shame. Indeed, his statement was too far-fetched. It sounded fine at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it was full of loopholes.

But Angel supported his statement and said to Dox: "What else? This is not the Mirror Demon, what could it be?"

Dox opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.

According to the traces left by the Mirror Demon believers they met along the way, this star-colored stone should undoubtedly be left by the believers. The god they kneeled down to worship was not the Mirror Demon, who could it be?

"Are there two Mirror Demons?" Wai said silently.

No one responded for a while.

"Maybe this diagonal line is a mirror, there is a person outside the mirror, and the person reflected in the mirror is another person." Angel pointed to the diagonal line of the circle.

He had a similar experience. He once saw a long-haired person in the mirror who was himself but not himself.

In addition, he had seen many modern illustrations of the earth. It is very common to use simple lines to express obscure and complex things.

Therefore, this speculation came up.

"It's possible that the Mirror Demon may be just one, but it presents two forms inside and outside the mirror." The Black Earl finally spoke, but he didn't comment on the painting, but on Angel's conjecture.

"Have you ever heard of such a demon? Or the Ancient Ones and wizards with similar spells?" Angel asked.

The Black Earl pondered for a moment: "Although there are not many spells related to mirrors, you can still find them if you really want to find them. Each organization should have a collection of similar spells, and the most famous one among them..."

The Black Earl paused here, slowly turned his head and looked at Angel: "It is the inheritance of your Savage Cave."

Everyone also looked at Angel with strange expressions.

Angel himself was a little confused. Why had he never heard of this? Moreover, among the current wizards in the Savage Cave, none of them played with mirrors.

The Black Earl seemed to see Angel's doubts and said a name lightly: "Mirror Ji."

Angel suddenly realized that Mirror Ji must be a mirror player. The entire Savage Cave was a mirror world created by Mirror Ji, and she was also an old monster who had lived for who knows how long.

Just talking about Mirror Ji alone, she really crushed other organizations with similar magic.

"However, Lady Mirror is a spirit, and she cannot leave the mirror world." Angel: "So, she is definitely not a mirror demon."

Black Earl: "I didn't say she was a mirror demon. I know Mirror. She is not interested in believers, but only in handsome men."

After the Black Earl finished speaking, Dox had the biggest reaction. He touched his face and murmured in a low voice: "It seems that I can't go near the Savage Cave in the future."

Everyone: "..."

Angel: "Lady Mirror never kidnaps people, and she is only interested in handsome men."

Dox: "It's good that she won't kidnap... No, what do you mean? Am I not a handsome man?"

Angel ignored Dox and continued to look at the Black Earl.

"In addition to Lady Mirror, were there other wizards or abyss monsters who loved to use mirror magic ten thousand years ago?"

Black Earl: "I don't know. I only know that your Savage Cave has the most complete inheritance of related magic. Even the daughter of old Rhine, isn't she also playing with mirrors?"
