Chapter 739: The Woman in the Mirror
"Huh, huh, everyone is going to die, and they all have to come down to be buried!" When he said the last sentence, the other party's faint voice suddenly raised and became poignant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
With an irrepressible gasp, terrible cries with intense hatred echoed in this gloomy haunted mansion......
Evan and Sirius quickly turned around, and there was nothing but dirty, peeling wallpaper.
"Quickly appear!" Evan waved his wand, revealing a mirror in the corner.
It was an ornate golden mirror, supported by two claw-shaped feet underneath, covered in dust.
Through the dust, they saw a woman appear in the large mirror.
It was staring at them grimly, its long tongue licking its bright red lips with an eerie smile on its face.
But the smile was fleeting, and the woman turned into a pitiful look again, which made people suspect that what they had just seen was just an illusion.
Evan blinked, and had to admit that this was a very beautiful woman, about twenty years old, wearing aristocratic clothes from hundreds of years ago, with pale skin and a strange milky white, floating quietly in the mirror like smoke......
It felt like she was standing in the "window" and looking out through a window.
Ai Wen's gaze immediately fell from the other party's body to the line of words on the top of the mirror frame, which was the ancient magic text, the rune of this mirror, which could provide it with magic power, so that this woman could manifest in it, just like the Mirror of Eris, what appeared in front of people's eyes was not reality, but the strongest desire in the heart of the person standing in front of the mirror.
This is a magical mirror, and what makes Evan concerned is that the magic on the frame seems to have been carved later.
Compared with the craftsmanship of the mirror itself, the handiwork of carving this line of magic is inevitably too rough, and it is very crooked and untidy.
"Who are you, or what are you?" Sirius asked, cautiously asking, pointing his wand at it.
"My name is Ariana, and I'm the former owner of this house, but that's more than five hundred years ago!" said the woman in the mirror, her gaze falling on Aven, "You come from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where I studied magic. ”
"Yes!" Evan didn't point out the mistake, he was looking at the other party.
Since this mirror is just a prop to make it manifest, where is the essence of this ghost-like thing?
It's really a wonderful magic, I was just tracking the owl man here, but I didn't expect to see something more interesting.
"Why are you in our family's ancestral home, do you also see that terrible monster?" Ariana's body rolled and shook as if she couldn't wait to come out of the mirror, then quieted down and asked, "Did it attack you?"
"If you mean the owl monster, we did follow it, but since we entered this house, it's gone!" Evan asked, "If you've been here, you should know where it is!"
"It departed, and returned to the castle outside the city, where you call the Owl Fortress. Ariana said, closing her eyes, "It used to be our family's castle while I was alive......"
"Owl Fortress?!What the hell happened here, and what about the curse you just mentioned?"
"This is an unfortunate story, not long ago I saw poor old Mary, the last member of our family torn apart alive and died in front of me, and her body turned into a puddle of rotten flesh. It knew I could see it, and it was retaliating. Ariana said faintly, with a sad look on her face, "The power of that terrible curse has brought it back to life, and it has become the owl man you have seen, the monster that is like a nightmare, 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!"
"To be clear, who the hell are you talking about?" Sirius said impatiently, looking at the other man suspiciously.
A sneaky ghost hiding in a mirror, unable to see the true body, and opening and closing his mouth is a cursed and dead ghost.
No matter how you look at it, it's even more suspicious than the owl man......
At the very least, Evan could be sure that the owl man wasn't his opponent.
But this guy in the mirror, he doesn't know how to deal with it, it's useless to break the mirror, it's just a prop for it to manifest.
"The root of all misfortune is in the time when I was alive, more than five hundred years ago, when our family was at its most glorious and prosperous, we lived in an ancient castle outside the city, and we were the magical guardians of Burgundy. Ariana continued, reminiscing, "When I was eighteen years old, I was engaged to a wizard from the Capetian family in Paris, a very old, very prestigious pure-blood wizarding family, just like we were a branch of the Duke of Burgundy, and their close relatives of the Muggle world ruled Paris and all of France. ”
"Identity aside, he's a very good wizard in his own right, we studied together in Beauxbatons and love each other dearly!" said Ariana, a flash of pain in her eyes, "We could have lived happily ever after, but just as he and I were about to get married, everything changed, and a witch from Afrika changed all that, she was an evil witch who could use demonic powers......"
"A witch from Africa?" Evan repeated in a whisper, "using demonic powers!"
"Yes, this witch is very evil. It is said that in their mysterious tribe is an ancient demon in the form of an owl, who 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 an aphrodisiac. ”
He told me that he didn't love me anymore, but I knew it wasn't his heart. Afterward...... With the intervention of my family, he finally came to his senses and offered to come back and marry me, but the witch poisoned all the people in the castle to the wedding. Subsequently, she used demonic powers to transform all people's souls into the shape of owls, permanently imprisoned in the castle. She has cursed her life at the cost of her own life, and one day, she will come back here in the form of a terrible owl man, back to Dijon, and kill everyone in Burgundy, so that they will live forever and never be able to live again!"
