"You can read it upside down." Tang Bai reminded.

Elijah turned his head and glanced at Tang Bai, turned his gaze back to the inscription on the mirror, and read the letters of Erised upside down according to Tang Bai's reminder.

“Desire。”

Elijah whispered the long inscription on the frame: "I–show-not-your-face-but-your-heart-desire." ”

"As you can see, it's a mirror, a very special mirror. It reflects what a person's heart desires most. Other than that, it has no other capabilities. Don Bai stood up and walked over to Elijah and stood side by side with him.

"Where did you get this mirror?" Klaus looked at the mirror with a somewhat complicated expression. His spirit was much tougher than that of his sister Rebecca, and although he had almost indulged in the illusion reflected in the mirror, he had been able to use his control to wake up from the illusion that seemed to be real, even without Elijah pulling him away from the mirror.

Because Klaus knows very well what is real and what is illusory, he also restrains himself.

"I got it by accident." Tang Bai replied.

"I love it." Rebecca's eyes were full of envy and surprise, and her eyes were full of fiery possessiveness when she looked in the mirror.

Among the four siblings of the ancestor who are still active, Rebecca is the one with the worst self-control and the most easily affected by emotions. More than a thousand years have passed. In those moments when she remained human, she always insisted on an innocence and goodness that did not belong to her.

With the pampering and help of several older brothers. For the people and things she likes, Rebecca has never been stingy in expressing herself. and to possess it with all its means. Despite those who like it, most of them will bring her hurt again and again.

"It's time for us to go." Klaus reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth, grabbed Rebecca's wrist with one hand, and dragged her hard in the direction of the door.

"I love this mirror." Rebecca struggled twice, but did not break free from Klaus's palm, and suddenly felt a little aggrieved in her heart. If you like it, you have to get it, this is Rebecca's insistence. As much as she likes, most of them are things that mean nothing in the eyes of her brother Klaus.

The queen of the ball, the center of attention, and the girl's unique dream of love.

These things, which are almost worthless in the eyes of Klaus's brothers, are what Rebecca has been pursuing. Although when she fails to achieve her goal, she will also use some vampire special methods to ensure that her wish is achieved.

"Sober up, my little sister, everything in that mirror is fake, unreal. We don't need it. Klaus angrily pulled Rebecca hard, pulling her body apart.

Elijah looked at Klaus and Rebecca, and showed a helpless look to Tang Bai: "I'm sorry, it's really time for us to leave." ”

"Wait a minute." Tang Bai spoke up and stopped the three people who were about to walk out of the room.

The three Elijahs, who were stopped by Tang Bai's abrupt voice, looked at him with inexplicable expressions. But Tang Bai, who said that. Ignoring Elijah's suspicious gaze, he waved his wand under the watchful eye of the three.

With the wave of the wand, in the sound of Tang Bai's muttering incantation, the items that were targeted seemed to come to life one by one. According to Tang Bai's wishes, changes are taking place.

The wooden table in the room, which is said to be more than 100 years old, "snapped" and "snapped" gracefully disintegrated under the gaze of everyone, and all parts were torn apart and disintegrated. Then the large wooden tabletop. Suddenly, it was as flexible as paper, and under the dancing guidance of Tang Bai's magic wand in his hand. It folded like origami. In just a few moments, an empty wooden box was born on the abandoned wooden table.

Stand by the door. Elijah, who had his palms on the doorknob, looked at this strange scene in puzzlement, guessing Tang Bai's intentions.

After applying a few traceless stretching spells and reinforcement spells on the wooden box made on the table, Tang Bai's arm holding the wand waved sharply, and the wooden box also swung with the wand, and the bottom of the wooden box seemed to be equipped with a pulley, sliding all the way in the direction of the Eris Magic Mirror on the thick and delicate carpet. Along the way, it crashed into several table legs that stood in the way, and through the belly of another table, and a sudden brake came to a halt right in front of the mirror.

The next scene made Elijah, who had survived for a long time and all kinds of strange things no longer strange, also raised their eyebrows in slight surprise, and a trace of interest flashed in their eyes.

The big, special mirror flickered twice in front of their eyes, and flew up with Tang Bai's gesture, falling straight towards the wide-open wooden box next to it.

It was very strange that compared to the huge size of the Mirror of Eris, according to common sense, the small wooden box that could only be stuffed into the corner of the mirror could not be contained anyway, and at best, it completely contained the huge and luxurious mirror.

Ignoring the completely unequal diameter and volume of the two, it was like the wooden box connecting to another space, and the mirror body was so weirdly stuffed into the box. Seeing that the tall mirror body was completely submerged in the box, Tang Bai raised the wand in his hand slightly, and the lid of the wooden box closed.

Although Tang Bai was not proficient in the spell of the Traceless Stretching Mantra, he was not unfamiliar with it.

With his current abilities, it was impossible to easily expand a large, villa-like space in a small tent like those wizards who used the Traceless Stretching Charm to enter the room. But just stuffing a large mirror close to the ceiling of the room into a wooden box that is less than half a meter long, wide and high, is not much difficult.

Several nails that had been pulled out of the wooden table, with their nimble tips pointing downward, stood out of thin air at the closure of the lid and the body of the box, as if they had been smashed by an invisible sledgehammer. A little bit of it didn't go into the box. Tang Bai, who had done all this, turned around and placed the wooden box containing the Eris Magic Mirror along the carpeted floor. Glide all the way to Rebecca's feet.

"She doesn't need this." Klaus looked at the rudimentary wooden box at Rebecca's feet, and the expression on his face looked like he was going to destroy it.

Since transforming into a vampire. Klaus, who has traveled a lot of places, finally got rid of his father's shadow, the influence of the family, and re-established his inner persistence and desire. He hated himself for being submissive in front of his father at that time.

He didn't like it, and he didn't need anyone to dictate to him like his father did, and he longed to be a king that no one could disobey. For this he can do not hesitate to make himself ruthless and ruthless, paying whatever price he can.

Klaus's brother, Finn, used to be known for pointing fingers at him. And he sealed it neatly. If necessary, Klaus wouldn't mind sealing his other siblings as well. Sealed until he thought he could release them and enjoy everything with him.

Therefore, Klaus has a strong rejection of this mirror that can make him feel weak and seduced, while intoxicated.

"No, I need to!" Rebecca broke free of Klaus's hand, squatted down and picked up the wooden box at her feet, and hugged it tightly in her arms. She looked at Tang Bai: "What do you want?" ”

"Not hostile. Don't get involved in my business. Tang Bai groaned for a moment, as if he had just found a good excuse, his fingers caressed the corners of his lips, and he replied softly.

"I'll do it." Rebecca nodded without thinking about Tang Bai's request. Immediately before Klaus and Elijah could react. The super-speed wind rushed out of the room.

"I don't know what your intentions are in doing this, but I know very well that she can't protect it." Klaus glared at Tang Bai. He walked out through the wide open door. Even Elijah and Cole, who were related to him by blood, Klaus always had a suspicion in his heart. For Tang Bai's behavior of being attentive to nothing, he naturally felt extra vigilant.

"Can you find out where they are?" Look at the vampire ancestors who disappeared into the house. Tang Bai secretly communicated with the mirror spirit.

"Wherever there is a mirror, it is my eyes and ears. If you need to, I can monitor mirrored homes throughout New Orleans. Jing Ling's answer rang in Tang Bai's mind at the right time.

Tang Bai pursed the corners of his lower lip, "That's good, help me find a gathering place for witches and werewolves in New Orleans first, maybe in a few days, when these ancestors leave, I should go to visit." ”

"Would it be nice to give away that Mirror of Eris? Klaus was afraid he would throw it away soon. ”

"Perhaps, but I'm more sure Rebecca will pay attention to this and hide it beforehand. With that mirror, you can better grasp Klaus's whereabouts. You don't need to go into too much detail, just be sure that the other person won't be in New Orleans for a while. Tang Bai muttered to himself.

The Mirror of Eris sent out, in addition to being able to reflect the original longing of people's hearts, also has an obscure characteristic. That is, it allows the Mirror Spirit's ability to monitor regardless of its distance. This trait is endowed by the Mirror of Eris, which is like a twin on both sides of desire and fear.

Between the two mirrors, just like the two vanishing cabinets that seem to be one in the dark, there is also a mysterious and indescribable connection. This connection allows the Mirror Spirit to wander between the two mirrors, regardless of their distance.

In the confrontation between Rebecca and Klaus, it will undoubtedly be Klaus who will win. No matter how well Rebecca hid the Mirror of Eris, it was only a matter of time before Klaus wanted to find it. Tang Bai is convinced of this. But even if the plan fails, it's nothing, it's a whim-spur plan, and it's naturally good to have a good effect. If not, it's fine. Tang Bai saw this very clearly.

Tang Bai was not worried that Klaus would smash the Eris Magic Mirror in anger and other impulsive behaviors. As a complex and rare alchemy object, even if it looks like a fragile item, it is not easy to destroy it by pure violence.

In the following days, Tang Bai returned to the house in the suburbs and began to live a simple life. The contract of the house in the French Quarter was also signed by Tang Bai after Elijah and they left that day.

This means that if there is no Tang Bai's permission. Klaus: They will never be able to enter the door of that house again.

In the days of living in seclusion, Tang Bai was still very busy. Various protective spells need to be applied to the house you live in.

For this house that occupies a lot of land. Applying all sorts of protective spells to a single person using magic can be a lot of work. It takes effort and effort to work. It took Tang Bai three or two days to squeeze out his energy and physical strength every day, and to complete it thoroughly.

The rest of the time Tang Bai was spent flipping through Esther's magic book.

Some of the contents of this magic book are similar to those recorded in Emily's magic book. Considering Emily's ancestors, who were once close friends with her grandmother, Esther, this seems to be a no-brainer.

But there are fundamental differences between the two magic books.

Emily's spellbook is more like a spell book that records all sorts of spells.

Esther's magic book, in addition to spells, has something very special. For example, teach a wizard how to learn to control his own powers.

Witches have a lot of means to make their abilities suddenly leap a lot. For example, the Nexus Charm, which connects the powers of several wizards, and the Nexus Charm, which owns some of the powers of a dead wizard. As well as some special magic rituals, etc., can make a wizard's ability jump up in an instant.

But this kind of ability to pull out the seedlings and fuel the same skyrocket, which is not a good thing for wizards in many cases. Because there is gain, there is bound to be loss. While taking great power into your arms, you also have to bear the corresponding price.

The most common is the rampage of power, and the burden and torture that the body endures when casting spells. It's like eating, every bite of the dish after you've eaten your fill. It was all a burden and a torment. Controlling a force that you can't control is like dancing on the edge of a cliff, and danger is always there.

If Emily's spellbook is compared to a simple spell book, then Esther's spell book. It's like a detailed textbook on magic control. Compared to spells, Esther's experience is undoubtedly more precious than ordinary spells. It also made Tang Bai more pleased and valued.

Tang Bai has to be glad for one thing, that is, every time he enters a world. You will be able to understand all the languages and scripts of this world. Otherwise, he would not have practiced spells, but would have mastered and understood the words in these magic books. That's a chore.

In addition to decorating the house and reading the magic book, Tang Bai also kept Jing Ling paying attention to the movements on Klaus's side at all times. Seven days passed, and Klaus seemed to have decided that it was unsafe, and after packing up and packing up, he left with his family.

After getting the news, Tang Bai waited patiently for a few days, and confirmed that Klaus and they stopped in the nearby city of New Orleans, and after staying for a while, Tang Bai left the house he lived in for the first time.

Klaus and the others were indeed suspicious of Tang Bai's news, just out of caution and caution, they left New Orleans temporarily, settled in its nearby cities, and waited and watched for a while.

If the news revealed to them by Tang Bai has not been confirmed for a long time, or if there is some big wind and grass here, Klaus and them may make a comeback at any time.

If he knew the accurate traces of his ancestor father Michaelson, Tang Bai really wanted to reveal Klaus's traces to him without reservation. And lead him to Klaus and them. But in terms of secrecy, the first father knew how to hide himself better than his sons.

Tang Bai's current power in this world is still too weak. He only has more than 20 vampires under him, including Pearl. This amount of manpower, if you want to find out the traces and news of any person, it is a thing that requires a lot of time to do.

At the end of a dirty, narrow, dim alley, several low, damp houses were lined up in a staggered manner. If the information Tang Bai has gathered these days is not wrong, this is one of the places where witches live. And near this alley, there is a unique cemetery.

New Orleans' unique location makes the cemetery very different from the rest of the world. With the exception of the French Quarter, most of the cemeteries here are hanging coffins on the ground. This is not because the people here have a very different concept from people elsewhere, or because they miss the dead and build a city of the dead for them. Rather, it's New Orleans, where there is a swamp beneath the surface, and if you dig a few more feet of land, you will have to pour it back, and you can't bury the bones of your ancestors. In this case, you can't soak the body of your ancestors in water, right? In this respect, New Orleans' unique cemetery tradition is somewhat similar to the customs of many Caribbean island nations.

Because of New Orleans' poor drainage system, during the rainy season, the abundant groundwater flows from the surrounding Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain to the north to the basin's Old Town, which is seven to twenty feet below sea level.

The poor public environment became a breeding ground for disease and plague. New Orleans has had several major plagues in its history, with a large number of deaths. This also makes the two coffins in ordinary tombs often not sufficient. It is also necessary to temporarily borrow these cemeteries that have been specially renovated in a corner of the cemetery.

The cemetery is a square oven-like structure, with no ornamentation, cast iron or statues, only the walls are mottled and peeling. Each coffin has a small square opening, and the coffin is placed from here until the family cemetery is empty, or until the day of frugality, and then return to the arms of the ancestors.

The same is true of the burial ground of the witch's ancestors.

And the witches who live here pay more attention to their ancestral cemeteries than witches from other regions. Because here, the ancestors represent their power. With the power of their ancestors, they were able to use witchcraft and magic.

When Tang Bai's figure walked into this alley, his clothes and unfamiliar face easily attracted the attention of the people here. A pair of vigilant eyes, coupled with expressionless and cold faces, fell into Tang Bai's eyes one by one.

It can be seen that the witches who live here are resistant to Tang Bai, an uninvited outsider. (To be continued......)
