The Whispering Verses Chapter 633: 【Corpse Mirror】
Chapter 633 [Corpse Mirror]
"I have a friend at Fort Midhill, a captain. He asked me to ask you about the Twin Cult."
Xia De said casually.
"Oh, Fort Midhill, that's it."
Professor Manning put down the teacup:
"But let me stress first that some of the texts I saw back then were content prohibited from being disseminated by the church. I had signed a contract with the church, and some contents could not be leaked."
"It doesn't matter, just say what you can say."
Shad said:
"First of all, I want to know, is the tradition of prehistoric twin worship related to death?"
"Death?"
The professor was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:
"What is the relationship between these two? No, it doesn't seem to be completely unrelated. I was still very young back then and was not a major excavator, so I didn't see much textual information... But I was in Midhill I have heard a saying that twins can actually be regarded as one person. Therefore, when one of the twins is seriously ill and may die, the death can be prevented by killing the other twin. "Death"
He glanced at Shade's expression:
"Of course, this is just a foolish approach. When I was young, it was just a rumor to scare children."
In this way, Gemini worship should have nothing to do with the third chosen one.
"So, in the worship of twins, is there any ritual that can allow twins who are far apart and will never see each other to express their thoughts and even break the barriers?"
"This question is quite strange."
The professor said, but still nodded:
"Of course, but I must remind you that I am a professor of history and archeology, not a professor of folklore. So I don't understand those mystical things. I just use my own experience and knowledge, Just restoring ancient knowledge."
"Yes, Professor, I didn't see any illegal information from you tonight."
Xia De said immediately, Professor Manning smiled and nodded, called his servant, and went to the third floor to get the documents in the reference room.
Professor Manning did not compile the archaeological data he conducted in the Sikal Mountains when he was young into a book, but he wrote it into his own lesson plans as materials for teaching young people:
"Look at this, Red Butterfly, yes, that's it."
He handed the pages in the cardboard folder to Shade and said while Shade was flipping through them:
"The remaining texts of the Twin Order that we excavated recorded that the holy symbol of the twin gods of the great departed resembled a butterfly. Later, through communication between folklorists and the Prophets Association, it was discovered that the 'red' in divination The meaning of butterfly itself has the meaning of sacrifice, twins, etc. ”
"So, the way to break the gap between twins has something to do with Hongdie?"
"Yes, a weird and complicated poem. I only recorded it because I was interested in it."
Professor Manning squinted his eyes and recalled the past. As Shade flipped through the pages, he recounted the lesson plans he had taught all his life:
"The red butterfly spreads its wings and flies,
Flying over towering mountain peaks,
Flying over the black river,
May the wind take away eternal thoughts,
Until the end of life and death. ”
What Professor Manning said is exactly the same as what is recorded in the text:
"Sounds like a folk song too."
"Yes, there should be other meanings in poetry and ballads, at least that's what I and most scholars think."
The professor nodded:
"I really miss you. When I first read this passage, I was only a little older than you are now. I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, I would already be this age."
He sighed, not knowing what he thought of.
Professor Manning suddenly became sad, so Shade talked to him about some past events and listened to his interesting stories about traveling around the Old World when he was young. He did not leave until eight o'clock in the evening.
Tonight’s second stop is Old John’s **** shop. The **** shop usually closed at ten o'clock at night, so it wasn't rude for Shade to visit so late.
When he opened the door and entered, Father John was pouring himself tea under the gas lamp. When he heard the door open, he raised his eyes:
"Oh, good evening, detective. I just want to find you. There is news about the special blood you asked me to help find. I know you may be out of money, so it will be cheaper this time."
"We'll talk about the blood later. Dad, help me identify a relic first."
Hearing this, Old John immediately became interested. After putting on gloves, he picked up the silver mirror that Shade put on the counter:
"Tsk, tsk, mirror, relics with this kind of appearance are rare. Since this is the case, it should be easy to find the information. Detective, wait for me."
He put down the mirror and walked to the second floor of the **** shop. He came back within five or six minutes. Judging from the expression on his face, he had already achieved the result:
"I found it, it turned out to be this, a clerical grade (level 4) relic - [Corpse Mirror]."
"Huh?"
"Don't worry, it's not an undead relic. This should be considered a space relic."
"What does it do?"
Xia De asked curiously, and Old John returned to the counter unhurriedly:
"Two characteristics are currently known. The first is that this mirror can accommodate almost unlimited corpses. Yes, corpses can be hidden and carried in the mirror. When St. Byrons first took in this mirror, it was from Obtained by a corpse thief. Of course, the corpse collected in the mirror has a chance of being transformed into a low-level undead, so people speculate that this mirror was originally made by a witch who was proficient in space power and undead power. ”
"Can it be used as a space prop to accommodate other items?"
"Can't."
"That mirror seems useless."
Shad shrugged. If he wanted to transport the corpse, Thaumaturgy [Toy Making] would be enough.
"Don't worry, listen to the second characteristic. Holding a mirror, the holder can enter the mirror space."
"What do you mean?"
Now Shade was interested.
"With this mirror, you can find another mirror and walk into it. Oh, let me demonstrate."
As he spoke, Old John moved out a floor-length mirror that looked like an antique among the messy goods in the **** shop. He held Shade's [Corpse Mirror], and then reached out to touch the huge mirror.
The mirror surface seemed to have ripples, and Old John actually walked in like this.
The mirror reflects Shade outside the mirror, but you can also see Old John in the mirror. This scene is very strange. Shade reached out to touch the mirror surface of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, but the mirror could not be entered.
"Interesting, isn't it?"
Papa John hid behind the shelves in the mirror, so he was no longer visible in the mirror.
He walked out of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, returned the [Corpse Mirror] to Shade, and continued to introduce the features:
"You can carry any non-souled items into a mirror while holding the [Corpse Mirror]. Yes, relics can also be brought in, and you can choose a mirror of any size. But when When you leave the mirror, the items you brought in will also be ejected. ”
In other words, this small mirror cannot be regarded as a space object.
But Shade suddenly thought of another possibility:
"If I hold the [Corpse Mirror] and enter another mirror, can the mirror I am hiding in be moved?"
If possible, Shade will let others enter the mirror, and then he will carry the mirror through the statue of [Primary Crack] to achieve spatial movement.
"No, when the mirror you choose is entered, the mirror will be fixed in the space and absolutely cannot be moved. Also, when the mirror you choose is broken, the [Corpse Mirror] will be automatically pops out, and the person holding the mirror will be trapped in the mirror space forever."
Daddy John said, Shade nodded:
"In other words, apart from hiding corpses, it is also a small hiding place?"
"Yes, and after entering the mirror space, the mental pollution and soul pollution from the outside world can be greatly reduced. This is a very useful feature."
But the [Corpse Mirror] is also dangerous. In addition to storing corpses that may cause the resurgence of the undead, once the user stays in the mirror world for too long, the user may also be completely lost.
There are actually many dangers in the mirror world, and contemporary ring wizards have not explored them enough. But for Shade, this mirror is valuable enough.
