Chapter 739 The Woman in the Mirror

"Huh, huh, everyone is going to die and come down to be buried with them!" When he said the last sentence, the other party's faint voice suddenly increased and became shrill.

Accompanied by uncontrollable gasps, terrifying shouts with strong hatred echoed in this eerie haunted house...

Alvin and Sirius turned quickly, and there was nothing but dirty, peeling wallpaper.

"Very fast!" Ivan waved his wand, and a mirror placed in the corner appeared.

It was an ornate golden mirror supported on two clawed feet, covered with dust.

Through the dust, they saw a woman appearing in the big mirror.

It was watching them eeriely, sticking out its long tongue to lick its bright red lips, with a weird smile on its face.

But the smile was fleeting, and the woman turned into a cute and pitiful look again, which made people suspect that what they saw just now was just an illusion.

Ai Wen blinked his eyes, and had to admit that this was a very beautiful woman, about 20 years old, wearing aristocratic costumes hundreds of years ago, her skin was pale, showing a strange milky white, quietly flowing like smoke floating in the mirror...

This feeling is like she is standing in the "window" looking out through a layer of windows.

Aiwen's eyes immediately fell from the other party to a line of words on the frame of the mirror. It was an ancient rune, a rune of this mirror, which could provide it with magic power and make this woman appear in it, just like the Mirror of Erised. , what appears before people's eyes is not the reality, but the strongest desire in the heart of the person standing in front of the mirror.

This is a magical mirror. What Ivan cares about is that the runes on the frame seem to be carved later.

Compared with the craftsmanship of the mirror itself, the handwork of engraving this rune is a bit too rough, crooked and very irregular.

"Who are you? Or, what is it?" Sirius asked cautiously, pointing at it with his wand.

"My name is Ariana, and I was the former owner of this house, but that happened more than five hundred years ago!" said the woman in the mirror, her gaze fell on Ivan, "You are from Beauxbaton School of Magic and Magic, right? , I once learned magic there."

"Yes!" Ivan did not point out the mistake, he was looking at the other party.

Since this mirror is just a prop to make it appear, where is the body of this ghost-like thing?

It's really a wonderful magic. Originally, I just followed the owlman here, but I didn't expect to see something more interesting.

"Why did you appear in our family's ancestral house? Did you also see that terrible monster?" Ariana's body rolled and swayed, as if she couldn't wait to come out of the mirror, and then she calmed down and asked, "It Attacked you?"

"If you're talking about the owl monster, we did follow it, but it disappeared after entering this house!" Ivan asked, "If you've been here all this time, you should know where it is!"

"It left and returned to the old castle outside the city, which is what you call the Owl Fortress." Aryanna said, closing her eyes, "When I was still alive, there used to be our family's castle......"

"Owl Fortress?! What happened here, and what about the curse you just mentioned?"

"It's a sad story. Not long ago I saw poor old Mary, the last member of our family, be torn to pieces in front of me, a rotting mass of flesh. She knew I could See, it's taking revenge." Ariana said quietly, with a sad expression on her face, "The power of the terrible curse brought it back to life, turning it into the owl man you saw, it was like a nightmare The monster, even though five hundred years have passed, it still wants to kill all the descendants of the Duke of Burgundy, it is taking revenge, its purpose has been achieved, now it is your turn, everyone will die!"

"Be clear, who is it you're talking about?" Sirius said impatiently, eyeing him suspiciously.

A sneaky ghost hiding in the mirror, unable to see the real body, opening and closing his mouth is a cursed and dead ghost.

No matter how you look at it, it's even more suspicious than that owl man...

At the very least, Aiwen can be sure that the owl man is not his opponent.

But the guy in the mirror, he didn't know how to deal with it, smashing the mirror was useless, it was just a tool for its appearance.

"The root of all misfortunes lies in the time when I was still alive, that is, more than 500 years ago, that was the most glorious and prosperous time of our family. We lived in an old castle outside the city. We were Burgundy. The magic guardian family in the No. 1 region." Arianna continued, recalling the past, "When I was eighteen years old, I was engaged to a wizard from the Capet family in Paris. Famous pure-blood wizarding family, as we are offshoot of the Dukes of Burgundy, whose close relatives in the Muggle world rule over Paris and all of France."

"Aside from his identity, he is also a very good wizard. We study together in Beauxbatons and love each other deeply!" Aryanna said, a flash of pain flashed in her eyes, "We could have been happy But just when he and I were about to get married, everything changed, a witch from Africa changed everything, she was an evil witch who could use demonic powers..."

"A witch from Africa?" Ivan 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, and she can use the power of this demon. She came to our castle, and my father received her warmly. And invited her to my wedding, but she seduced my lover with a love potion."

"He told me that he didn't love me anymore, but I knew it wasn't his heart. Later...with the intervention of my family, he finally came to his senses and was willing to come back and marry me, but that The witch poisoned all the people who attended the wedding in the castle. Then, she used the power of the devil to change the souls of all people into the shape of owls and imprisoned them in the castle forever. She sacrificed her own life With a curse, one day, she will turn into a terrible owl and come back here, back to Dijon, and kill everyone in Burgundy, so that they will live forever!"
