Chapter 2684 Dressing Mirror

"If it is not originally in this room, then could it be..." Kaelden paused and silently uttered a name: Wood Spirit.

Could this vine sculpture be a Wood Spirit?

After a moment of silence, everyone turned their eyes to the Wise Lord. Now only the Wise Lord can make a judgment.

However, the Wise Lord looked like he was wandering in the sky, and after a long while he said faintly: "I don't know."

"Whether it is a Wood Spirit, I also need to enter it in person before I can give a definite answer." Wise Lord: "But if I am the one who confirms it, this is what I found, not what you found."

Dox frowned: "In other words, what we have to do is not only to find the Wood Spirit, but also to prove that it is a Wood Spirit?"

Wise Lord: "Although your statement is not accurate, it is almost the same."

If you find something that looks like a Wood Spirit, you must first prove that it is a Wood Spirit, and then you can say that you have found the Wood Spirit. But there is another problem here. If this vine sculpture is a wood spirit, but no matter how they try to induce it, the vine sculpture does not respond, how can they prove that it is a wood spirit? Attack? But it is obviously inappropriate to attack in front of the wise master.

For this possible situation, the wise master's answer is still the same: "This is also a problem for you to consider, not me. Also, assuming too many premises will only make it more troublesome. Instead of making such unwarranted assumptions, it is better to think about how to prove whether this vine is a wood spirit."

After speaking, the wise master put on a calm expression again.

Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds, and Wai suggested: "Or, let's sense the situation of the vine first?"

Angel: "It should not be a wood spirit."

Facing the curious eyes of Wai and others, Angel did not explain immediately, but raised his cane and gently touched the vine sculpture.

When the cane touched the vine sculpture, the vine immediately trembled.

Then everyone saw that a thin layer of dust fell from the gap on the sculpture.

"These dusts..." Wai looked at the flying ashes, as if thinking of something, and turned to look at the Black Count.

At the right time, Angel also gave an answer: "Black had seen this vine sculpture before, but after identification, Black thought it might not be a wood spirit. But considering that the limit of the wood spirit's hidden talent is unknown, Black left 'marks' for some places that might be in doubt before leaving."

"These dusts are 'marks'. Now the dust is still here, which means that this vine sculpture is the same one that Black encountered before. Since it is the same one, it also means that this vine sculpture has not moved from beginning to end."

"If it is really a wood spirit, it will not stay here all the time."

So, based on the above judgment, this should not be a wood spirit.

Of course, it cannot be completely denied. After all, their understanding of wood spirits is very limited and one-sided. Maybe the wood spirits have become bolder in recent years and really dare to play under the light?

However, these low-probability events can be put aside for the time being. If Angel does not find the wood spirit this time, and Dox feels that there are doubts here, it will not be too late to investigate at that time.

Now let's consider the situation with a higher probability first, so after roughly confirming that this should not be a wood spirit, everyone skipped it and went up to the second floor.

There is only one small room on the second floor, which can basically be seen at a glance.

There are also some broken debris underground, but this is an external energy hall, or a light source, which can be ignored. The furniture is still intact.

Most of the furniture is similar to the furniture on the zeroth floor. It is made of extraordinary materials, but there is nothing special.

The only thing worth paying attention to is the dressing mirror in the corner of the room.

This dressing mirror is integrated with the dressing table. The mirror surface is oval and can reflect most of the face.

Because of the relationship with the "Mirror Demon", everyone is very concerned about all related items related to the "mirror", including the Black Earl. It is also for this reason that this dressing mirror has been marked by the Black Earl.

And this time the mark is more obvious, right on the mirror.

The Black Earl covered the mirror with a thin layer of ash.

Today, the thin ash is still there, and through the thin ash, you can faintly see a figure moving in the mirror.

According to conventional judgment, the figure in the mirror is actually their own projection. But after the sudden change of the blonde woman in the previous oil painting, everyone began to doubt the shadow on the mirror.

Is it really them in there? Or is there someone else?

Because of the suspicion in their hearts, everyone unconsciously gathered in front of the dressing mirror, and carefully observed whether there were any abnormal clues through the foggy mirror.

When others were checking the dressing mirror, Ingres did not go forward, but came to the door. Because the wise man was standing near the door at this time.

The wise man looked at Angell and said, "Why, don't you have any doubts about that well-preserved mirror?"

Angel: "Of course I have doubts, but before that, I want to confirm one thing."

"What do you want to confirm?" The wise man turned his head and stared at Angell quietly. The third eye on his forehead looked down, as if he was looking down, with a sense of arrogance.

"That vine sculpture."

The wise man said, "I have answered this before. I don't know."

"No, I don't want to confirm whether it is a wood spirit. I just want to know that the vine sculpture should have been left there by the wood spirit, right?" Angel: "Is that also a derivative made by the wood spirit?"

The wise master glanced at Angel in surprise: "Why do you think it was left by the wood spirit?"

It is well-founded to speculate that the log was left behind by the wood spirit, because the log contained a very strong aura of life, and it itself was an extraordinary material.

But the vine sculpture outside is different. It is just an ordinary piece of wood with a bit of energy. The only special thing is that it lasts for a long time and is not easy to rot. Beyond that, there's nothing worth saying.

It is essentially different from logs, and the smell inside is also different. Therefore, the wise master was puzzled, how did Angel connect these two completely different woods?

"Because the act of using wood to carve vines is very strange in itself." Angel: "There are two explanations I can think of, either because you have a certain degree of leisure, or you are learning to practice."

"Before, Miss Sisia also mentioned that the wise master favored the wood spirit very much and taught it a lot of knowledge. And the wise master is a master of alchemy and must be good at carving. Maybe he will teach carving to the wood spirit?"

"So, in my opinion, these two explanations are both reasonable when applied to wood spirits."

The wise master looked deeply at Angel, and then said: "Now I feel more and more that your appearance is not an accident. Your understanding of many things cannot be explained by one or two far-fetched reasons. Don’t say that Xicia told you, she doesn’t know a lot of information.”

The words of the wise master confirmed Angel's guess that the vine sculpture was indeed left by the wood spirit.

However, because of these words, the wise master became more suspicious of Angel.

He obviously didn't believe the two explanations given by Angel. To him, it sounded too far-fetched.

Generally speaking, the wise master was not wrong, but Angel did not make up the explanation, but made inferences based on the known results.

When Angel entered this room, he guessed that the wood spirit should have a back-up here. Either its true body was here, or there were other related things here. Because it would be very difficult to create resonance without a medium.

Angel went to the void before and did not completely believe that the wood spirit was in the void. However, even if the wood spirit is no longer there, it must have left behind a medium, otherwise would it resonate 'out of thin air'? This level of difficulty is unparalleled. Angel doesn’t think the wood spirit can do it.

Therefore, when Angel went to the void, he also had the idea of ​​​​looking for a medium.

Unfortunately, due to objective reasons, Angel did not reach the resonance coordinates in the end, nor did he find the medium.

Therefore, his target turned to this room.

After two floors of investigation, Angel felt that the most likely thing was the vine sculpture. By reasoning backwards through the results, we have Angel's explanation of the wise master's theory.

Faced with the wise master's doubts, Angel shrugged: "My appearance is indeed not an accident. After all, this is the legacy of Noah's ancestors. As a descendant, you still have to come and see it."

The wise master did not believe that Angel was a descendant of Noah, but he did not argue. Instead, he said: "Are your goals really the same as those of the Noah family? You don't need to answer me, because I will see it myself with my eyes." ”

After speaking, the wise master said no more and signaled Angel to do what he wanted.

Although the wise master did not say it explicitly, through hints, Angel had already got the answer he wanted, and he no longer stayed, but turned around and walked towards the dressing mirror.

…

Angel also thought about whether the dressing mirror might be the medium for the wood spirit to stay in this room, but thinking about the previous oil painting, there was indeed something wrong with the mirror here. So, the wood spirit should be more afraid of things related to the mirror. thing instead of actively touching the mirror.

Therefore, Angel ruled out the vanity mirror option.

But I have to say, this dressing mirror is indeed strange. Take a look at the pile of broken energy tubes on the ground and you'll understand why the vanity mirror looks weird.

The energy tubes are all broken like this, but the mirror surface is smooth and flawless. This is obviously something wrong.

At this time, everyone had roughly inspected the dressing table, but found nothing. So, he focused his attention on the mirror that was most likely to have problems?

"How about, Kael, please wipe off the 'mark' first?" Doakes said, looking at the dust on the mirror.

Kael didn't know whether he should wipe it or not, so he could only turn to Black Count for confirmation.

The Black Earl did not respond, but turned the stone slab and motioned for Kael to ask Angel.

When he checked the mirror, there was nothing unusual. But when he checked the oil painting before, he found no abnormality. However, when Angel touched it, something happened to the oil painting, so he was not sure whether there was something abnormal about the mirror surface.

Kael and Angel have now entered the prison ladder together, so it is best to let Angel decide whether to wipe off the dust on the mirror and see if it is themselves or someone else who appears in the mirror. ?

Angel: "Although I think it doesn't matter whether you wipe it or not, I can basically confirm that the wood spirit will not be near the dressing mirror."

As for why the wood spirit was not near the dressing mirror, Angel did not give an explanation, but everyone could understand.

Just like the previous oil painting, all the derivatives of the wood spirit's body were taken away, but it still didn't dare to go near the oil painting, which was evident.

"Our mission is to find the wood spirit. As for exploring the truth in the mirror, it is not important at the moment."

Angel glanced at the wise master when he said this: "Of course, if the wise master wants to make the inquiry of the truth of the mirror a bonus condition, that is another matter."

The wise master did not respond. Angel turned his head and said: "It seems that it is not a bonus condition, so do you want to continue?"

Angel was asking the Black Count.

Because if the abnormality in the 'mirror' is related to the 'mirror demon', it is estimated that Augustine cannot escape the relationship. If the Black Count wants to explore the truth now, Angel will not stop it.

The Black Count pondered for a moment and said: "First, complete the task."

Since the Black Count said so, there is no need to pay too much attention to the dressing table.

Everyone explored the room for a while, and after confirming that there was no clue of the wood spirit, they began to leave gradually.

Angel was the last one to leave the room. When he walked out of the room and prepared to leave from the first floor, he found that the Black Count was floating outside the door.

"What did you see in the mirror?" the Black Count asked softly.

Angel was silent for a few seconds before he chuckled: "...I still can't hide it."

The reason why the Black Count was so sure was because he didn't believe that Angel would not wipe the mirror.

He deliberately arranged for Kael to leave first and he stayed behind, there must be some reason.

Although Angel did not touch the mirror from beginning to end, they were in an illusion, and Angel and Kael were in the real ladder of the prison. As long as Kael left first, Angel, who had no worries, could completely cover up the truth with illusions.

It seemed that he did nothing, but in fact he had done everything, and it was in front of other people's eyes.

"I didn't see myself in the mirror."

When Angel said this, the Black Count knew that the mirror was indeed different.

Black Earl: "Is it the blonde woman?"

Angel shook his head: "No, there is no one in the mirror, but a black hole like an abyss."

"A black hole like an abyss?" Black Earl: "Can people pass through it?"

Angel: "I don't know, I didn't probe my mental power into the mirror. However, this is already a clear 'invitation', it should be possible for people to pass through it."

Black Earl: "You are right not to go in."

In this unknown situation, it is better to be cautious. What's more, the passage in the mirror may involve the "Mirror Demon".

If it is really the "Demon", it will be dangerous.

Angel naturally knows this truth: "No normal person will stand under a dangerous wall."

After a pause, Angel said again: "By the way, when I left, a hand stretched out of the black hole..."
