The Divine Hunter Chapter 14: Mirror
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!
"Squeak——"
The door was slowly pushed open, and with a burst of gum-searing friction and dust blowing into their faces, the two demon hunters had to restrain their movements and carefully close the door.
"The founder of the Verrieres family, Jennifer Verrieres..." Roy looked around. This room looked like an antique that had been in disrepair. Traces of time could be seen everywhere: on the mottled walls The walls were cracked, the old floor surface was corroded to reveal patches of black marks, and furniture such as beds and wardrobes were covered with a thick layer of dust.
Obviously it has not been taken care of for a long time, but shallow and messy footprints can be seen on the dust on the ground, obviously someone has come in before.
"Ignatius didn't even properly maintain and repair his ancestors' rooms...probably he only cared about Lady Mary." Roy's eyes turned to the center of the wall on the left, which was exactly the same as the previous rooms. with a bust of the owner of the room. He walked over and gently wiped the dust off the surface of the portrait, and suddenly a bright and stunning female image came into view.
Maybe it's a genetic problem, but the women in Ignatius's group are more beautiful than the others. Jennifer Villiers is also there, stunning and eye-catching.
"Kid, your eyes are popping out when you look at it again! Go check the bookshelf quickly, Mrs. Jennifer may have recorded the spell caster." Lei Suo said, minding his own business, he did not check the darkroom on the ceiling. ——As the first-generation ancestors of Ignatius, Jennifer and Leon Villiers did not build an attic behind the ceiling of their bedroom, so naturally they could not find the strange pile of evil spirit dust.
Roy walked to the bookshelf and turned his eyes to the side. The sky outside the window began to break, and there was a faint arc like an egg yolk emerging. He squinted and glanced at the bookshelf with his peripheral vision. There were about ten books on it, all covered with dust and inconspicuous.
"Poetry of the Moon..." He took out a book, brushed off the dust on the surface, and opened it casually, "When the moon is full, that's when passion blooms... Well, this Villiers family The founder is a poetry lover."
Roy himself can’t say he loves poetry, but he doesn’t hate it either. What young person doesn’t have a dream of being a suave bard? Incarnate as Dandelion, with his handsome appearance, talent in poetry, and fluent tongue, he spreads the world, and even dares to give a hat to the Duke of Toussaint.
"I need to supplement my knowledge of poetry and find a few that are suitable for Coral's beautiful voice. When the time comes..."
Dispelling the beautiful thoughts in his mind, Roy quickly flipped through and checked, chasing any artificial notes on the pages. But it is a pity that Mrs. Jennifer probably did not have the habit of taking reading notes, and there was no trace of ink in the entire book.
"Let me see," he said, preparing to look for the next one, ""Winter Tundra", "North Wind of Temeria", "In Praise of Love"...the twelve books are all poems, I should choose Which book?" Roy glanced at the end, "What do I see!? There seems to be a strange book mixed in, "The Eternal Goddess"? Isn't this a religious book?"
Roy took it out from the bookshelf. This large book had a solemn black hard cover. He remembered that he had seen it in the Meriteli Temple Library,
"Depicting the faith of the goddess Meriteri."
"There is something strange about a book describing religion mixed in among a bunch of poems." Roy opened the book and soon came across an unexpected discovery: a yellowed and stale note with a row of vague, Juanxiu's handwriting.
"Merciful goddess, if you really exist in the world, please have mercy on your devout believers! Heal her aging body!" This line of text is written in common language and is easy to understand.
The general idea is that an old and lustful woman is telling her desire to the goddess Meriteri. But her desire is obviously unrealistic. The goddess's priests will help those in need and treat serious illnesses and injuries, but they will not and cannot interfere with the normal aging process of mortals.
"This woman is Jennifer? She can't face reality? But how can it be so easy to cure aging?" Roy continued to turn back and frowned. He found a large missing page, which had been violently When it was torn off, the tear was rough and extremely uneven.
Roy could feel the man's anger.
Not long after that, he found another note. But the content on the note is extremely weird.
"Blood of the Sun!!! Blood of the Sun!!! Blood of the Sun!!!" The writing was very deep and penetrated the back of the paper, reflecting the extremely excited mood of the person who left the note.
Roy was lost in thought, "These two notes were left by Jennifer Villiers? What does Blood of the Sun mean?"
"Roy!" Leisuo suddenly shouted, waking him up from his meditation.
Roy could only put down the note temporarily and hurried over, "Did you find anything?"
"I searched the room and found no hidden compartments or traps, but there is something strange. Look carefully..."
Roy's eyes kept moving in the direction of the big man's fingers, passing over the bed, drawers, hangers, wardrobe...
"What's weird?"
"It seems that Rita Nied hasn't taught you about women yet..." Reso crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head, "I'll give you a hint, the owner of this room, Jennifer Villiers, is not only a woman, She is still a beauty with outstanding appearance. But there is something missing in her room!"
"You mean?" Roy held his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Mirror!"
"Yes, the rooms we checked before, including the bedroom of the man Ignatius, all have a full-length mirror. But there is no mirror in the residence of a beauty like Jennifer. Don't you think it's strange?" Lei Suo was very surprised. Said affirmatively, "I tell you from the perspective of someone who has experienced it, as long as they are normal women, no matter they are beautiful or ugly, they all need a mirror. Unless——"
"Unless she doesn't want to see herself in the mirror!" Roy said, showing the two notes to Lei Suo,
"If the owner of the note was Jennifer, she must have been very old at that time, so old that she didn't want to see her face in the mirror. But she was unwilling to lose her youth and beauty, so she turned to Merita Goddess Li made a wish. Unfortunately, these are all illusory things. The goddess will not interfere with the normal aging process of a mortal."
Leisuo stared at the repeated writing on another piece of paper, "The goddess won't help her, but the blood of the sun can! Do you remember the detailed use of the blood of the sun? This herb can prepare What potion?"
"Universal antidote," Roy replied. He originally had a blood of the sun in his personal space, but it was used in Brok Leon.
"More than——"
"There is also...a panacea for beauty."
"The All-in-One Beauty Pill can greatly extend life and keep people young forever until death. But obviously, Jennifer Villiers did not get the blood of the sun or the All-in-One Beauty Pill until her death. , that's why she has such a big resentment." The amber eyes at the corner of Lei Suo's mouth were shining, "I have some ideas, Roy, sometimes-"
The demon hunter's tone was inexplicably sad, and he turned his gaze to the window. At this time, the sun had risen in the sky, casting a ray of light that was extremely dazzling. "Women will pay any price for their beauty."
"Jennifer Villiers must have a dark secret!"
"But after searching all the rooms, where is she most likely to hide the secret?"
"Mirror?" Roy's dark golden eyes flashed, "If I were her, I would seal up the secret together with the mirror."
……
"Mirror?" Butler Grant looked at the two demon hunters in surprise. He became more and more suspicious that the two demon hunters had impure motives. First, they made his master seem to be seriously ill, and now they made such harsh demands.
"A hundred years later, who can find the mirror used by the ancestor?" But Grant still remembered his master's instructions, "I'm sorry, two masters, I really don't know the whereabouts of this thing. Guess it should have been dealt with a long time ago."
"Look for it again, that's very important. It should still be in the castle..." Leisuo said uncertainly.
"Then I'm afraid I have to ask the master face to face..." Grant said stiffly, "I will inform you when the master wakes up."
The witcher did not wake up Sir Ignatius immediately. Leisuo decided to search the side room and basement first, and Roy quietly left Armavit Castle.
"Lady Mary's coffin has been inspected before. Now you go to the Villiers family crypt to inspect the coffins of three other women, Ignatius's grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother Jennifer. Confirm the bodies of these three women Are you still there?"
In this way, the two demon hunters divided into two groups and acted separately.
……
After both of them finished what they were doing, Ignatius woke up and met them on the top floor again.
"My great-great-grandmother's mirror? To be honest, I have some impressions." Ignatius recalled, "When I was a child, Mary mentioned to me that the mirror left by my great-great-grandmother was made by herself. It has special commemorative significance. This mirror was specially kept by the female relatives of the family. After my great-grandmother died, it was passed to my great-grandmother, who passed it to my grandmother, who in turn passed it to my mother. It is equivalent to a family heirloom." Ignatius said curiously , "Is there something weird about this mirror?"
Roy nodded, "Where is the mirror?"
"Speaking of which, the two masters have seen it before." Ignatius suddenly showed a hint of sadness, "It was in Florian's room."
"What?"
"After Florian passed away, my mother Mary prepared to leave his room to her next child. Mary had a premonition that the child would be a girl, and the mirror was also prepared for her. But I did not expect that the child died unexpectedly. , Mary also failed to survive the difficult birth."
"Sorry, Sir, we will help you solve the bad luck that is entangled in your body."
"I hope so."
Ignatius led the two of them to Florian's room quickly, and then they saw the mirror next to the wardrobe. Two demon hunters had actually checked this mirror before and found nothing unusual.
"Maybe the inspection method is wrong..." Roy leaned over. This mirror is as tall as a person. It is rectangular in shape, as thick as the palm of your hand, with slightly inward curvature on both sides, and is surrounded by white gold copper frames. The mirror surface is smooth and flat, and it doesn't look like it has experienced two hundred years at all.
Mirror
A magical mirror with an ominous atmosphere lingering on its surface.
……
"The glass material and manufacturing process are unusual..." After Roy finished his observation, he rubbed the mirror with his palms and turned to look at Ignatius, "But there is nothing fishy about it just by looking at it. Can we open it?
"If you can solve this problem, you two can do it!" Ignatius gritted his teeth and nodded, "Mary has passed away and there are no female relatives in the family, so what's the point of leaving her? You two can do it. ."
No matter how hard a mirror made of glass is, it cannot be as strong as steel. The bald man dumped the mirror face down on the ground, and then tapped it lightly along the back of the mirror with his steel sword.
When he stopped what he was doing, the mirror was actually intact.
"There is indeed a problem."
The two of them exchanged glances and put Qun En on their bodies with their fingers.
Then he pushed his left hand towards the mirror!
"Bang!" After a short and dull burst of air, Alder blasted the mirror into a pile of broken glass residues, which were piled all over the floor. ~IndoMTL.com~ The demon hunter's pupils scanned the residue and immediately discovered an abnormal bulge.
"This is-" Leisuo put on his iron gloves and brushed off the shards of glass. The next moment, a small dark brown book was exposed to the sight of the three of them. This manual is about the size of a palm and is made of who knows what material. It is soft and tough throughout and cannot be torn apart no matter how hard you try. The shattered glass **** did not leave a single scratch on it.
The three of them gathered in a circle curiously, and Leisuo read out the twisted tadpole-like words on the surface of the manual, "Book of Skeletons..."
He turned directly to the first page.
Suddenly, a nauseating smell hit his face, like a corpse that had been rotting and fermenting for who knows how many days. Ignatius immediately held his throat and retched, while the two demon hunters sniffed. They felt that what they had in their hands was not a book, but a pile of sticky blood and minced meat.
At the same time, on the first page, blood-red words came into view, a cold warning, as if coming from hell.
"Those who read this book, their descendants will be plagued by misfortune and will perish forever!"
