When the manor was brightly lit, Richard and the others lived in darkness, looking at this special place from afar.

They were on the banks of a grassy river.

The moonlight in the sky was bright, the rushing river was rippling, the grass was full of crickets, and occasionally a loud frog was called......

But the night was quieter.

At a great distance, Richard saw the Gothic minaret in the heart of the manor.

Its snow-white and shiny tower body sometimes appears some huge phantoms of people, birds and beasts, sometimes a mighty knight, sometimes it turns into a roaring dragon, and there are giants surrounded by flames, pythons with scales like stones, and angels with wings......

These phantoms are born very quickly, often when they are first seen, they are only one or two almost invisible points of light, and they are already tens of meters huge in the blink of an eye. In another second or two, it suddenly exploded into a puff of light and fire, splashing into a sky full of sparks, lighting up the lonely night.

"That's the first thing I'm going to be sure of......"

Richard pointed over there.

The direction of the finger is aimed at the spire.

Heloise, Diana, and Audrey all stood behind him.

"What the hell do you want to know?"

Diana stood on the grass, looking at the mighty river of Cankus that was close at hand, and couldn't help but wonder.

After Richard had finished speaking, he asked them to bring him over and say that they wanted to investigate something.

This tickled Diana's mind.

Knowing Richard, she couldn't wait to know his plans.

Glancing at the spire of elemental power, Diana asked curiously, "What is there about it that deserves your attention?"

Princess Audrey glanced at Richard, eager to figure out what this guy was up to.

"When I answer this question, please explain to me what the magic mirror image is all about?" Richard asked rhetorically.

"I need to understand this concept carefully, and I'm afraid that something will slip through, so please go through it again. ”

Hearing Richard's request, Audrey immediately complained about two words.

"It's boring!"

Diana was not interested, and Richard's request made her understand that he was serious.

"I'm afraid you don't need the very empty explanation that 'the mirror image is the reflection of all things' and that it is like a body and a shadow. To put it simply, it's an entity built out of magic. For the convenience of explanation, Diana specially used a force to absorb some of the soil on the ground into her hands.

The dirt turned into a round ball, floating in the air at the finger of her hand.

Suddenly, the goose-egg-sized ball suddenly stretched and turned into a slender little snake. It is as if it is a very real sculpture endowed with a soul. The body of the snake made of clay is actually simulated by the layers of scales on the surface of the body, the triangular hideous snake head also sticks out of the forked tongue, and the bean-sized fangs loom on the roof of the mouth.

"Birds, beasts, swords, or even people, only with elemental power, can cut such a mirror image. It is almost the same as the main body, and can use magic similar to the main body, except that the thing that builds their body has become ordinary stone, mud, sand and iron. ”

"Many magical beasts have the power of this kind of mirroring, which can turn things like dirt, rocks, and fallen wood into mirror doppelgangers of reflections in the water. Of course, it is not only the whole that changes, but also the appearance of long claws or animal heads, which is also common. ”

"The important point is that it can be captured. ”

Diana was caught up in a brief memory.

"This snake rune of mine comes from a misty god of death who can fight dragons. I remember that it was my teacher, who imprisoned it with magic, and then sacrificed to the god of the tides, and carved out a talisman from it, and then transplanted it to my body. ”

The mud serpent in her hand suddenly turned into something like a tree root, then shrunk and reduced to a small saber-toothed tiger, then a spear, a giant shield, and a large sword, each lifelike. By the time of the final broadsword, the fine scales on the dragon-shaped hilt were vividly displayed.

"I have mastered a total of twelve mirror runes, and each one is different. Some of them, like this curved snake rune, need to be sacrificed to the gods, and some are combined with some special rune arrays as long as they are recognized by the corresponding utensils. If you want to learn, I can teach you. ”

Diana finally laughed at herself, "As long as you don't dislike it, it's an outdated craft." ”

"That's for later. Richard thanked her gratefully.

He looked back at the spire.

"The phantoms displayed on those towers should be the work of various mirror forces, right?"

"Yes, that's true, it's just a little too much......"

Diana gasped as she looked over there.

"Sister Diana, what do you think of that stone tower?" Richard turned his head, and he looked at the red-haired big sister in front of him for a long time.

"The elemental power is simply spewing out, and there must be a lot of mechanism inside it......"

Diana glanced again at the tower where the prince lived.

Richard interrupted her.

"I mean, what do you think of this tower from the perspective of the Sheen rune?"

"If you say the Sheen Rune, then I can only say that ordinary rune power can't make such a building at all, and it must have used some other means. At least the phantoms of life and death on the tower are really terrifying. There are so many of them, and there are so many kinds of them, that the people who built it are really not simple. Diana tried to be as full as she could.

She concluded, "In my time, no one could have built such a miracle." ”

The minaret also continues to shine, and the reliefs carved on its body sometimes have a glowing and radiating heat, flashing the phantom of life and death.

If you look closely, you can see that these reliefs are exactly the same as the shadows, showing the same thing, but from flat to three-dimensional, with many more details.

As if waiting for her words, Richard hurriedly looked at Heloise again.

This one was standing with a gun in hand, listening to their conversation while carefully guarding his surroundings.

Although it was late at night, those white finches had already returned to their nests, but at this moment they were still in a hazy circle of light, in a state of invisibility.

The reason why Heloise is so vigilant, needless to say, is naturally afraid of the elusive fourth person.

"Sister Heloise, what do you think of that tower?"

"The unique court magic of the royal family of Edo, the supreme masterpiece of the Mirror School. Unless the structure on it can be destroyed, its external relief will continue to be mirrored. Each of them can probably exert nearly one percent of the ability of the ontology. A single Vientiane spire has made the defenses around it nearly impregnable. The man who lived in the tower was supposed to be an important member of the royal family. "Heloise said a little more.

Because of the proximity to the era in which Richard lived, she spoke in more detail.

"Then do you think Sister Diana's words, the sentence 'In her time, no one could build such a miracle', what key skills are missing?" Richard asked again.

Heloise looked at him with a blank look in her eyes.

But this time it was Princess Audrey who answered Richard from the sidelines.

"It also uses the spell magic of our El, the surging elemental power that communicates with the magical elements around it. I could clearly feel that an elemental vortex had formed around it. As Audrey spoke, she deliberately stretched out her hand, as if caressing the wind that blew on her hand.

"The four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water here are obviously surging towards that side......

"You have the Eye of Vision. Heloise stared at her coldly, "The blood of the Truss family has also taken root in you, which is really different from the history books." ”

Princess Audrey looked at her in amazement.

"I know who you are. Heloise looked at her, and after saying this, she remained silent.

Looking into Heloise's deep blue eyes, Princess Audrey couldn't help but clench her teeth.

In fact, she has long understood that she is at risk of being exposed. But getting along with Richard made her let her down her guard in this regard. Hearing these words suddenly, Audrey's heart suddenly tightened.

She has no doubts about the veracity of this sentence.

Princess Audrey understands that this woman lives in an era at least four hundred years behind her. And the other party knows himself, but he doesn't understand the other party, which is a big problem!

Diana and Heloise did not reveal their identities, but only took the initiative to tell each other by one name, and everything else was hidden.

For such a sensitive topic, Richard, like them, chose to ignore it for the time being. "You have to eat the rice one bite at a time", this was his idea at the time.

"Your Highness Princess, what can be improved on this?" Richard's eyes lit up.

"Mirroring can last longer. ”

Heloise chimed in.

Ignoring Audrey's uncertain gaze, she looked at Richard now, as if expecting something.

Diana also understood, and she suddenly realized, "That's right, it can indeed last longer." ”

"Like our Sheen Rune, the mirror image it uses, the magic of the body is fixed, and if you use a little, you will have a little less. The reason for this is that there is no way to replenish the magic of mirroring. ”

"But this minaret is different, it creates a distinct vortex of elements, making the surrounding elements much denser than elsewhere. After the mirror image is depleted, there seems to be some way to replenish the mana, and there is such a record in the Sheen rune. In addition to this, its sheer number is also explained. When the mirror image is formed, it will siphon magically, and the elemental power of the surrounding environment will be easily depleted, and it will take time to recover. But in this way, it will affect the formation of the next mirror image ......"

The red-haired beauty didn't say any more, she looked at Richard in surprise, "What you said is really good, when the primordial magic in various places merged, it really changed qualitatively. No wonder the Sheen runes will be replaced by the mirror school and the change school, indeed you have me, I have you. ”

Richard smiled at her.

"The first thing I want to confirm is that it has come to fruition. That's right, even mirror magic is not static, but gradually perfects its own system. ”

"If the most perfect mirror image can only do this, then the most primitive mirror magic is probably even rougher, and it can't even do that kind of thing......"

Speaking of this, Richard suddenly stopped talking, and he looked at the mighty river in front of him.

"Now for the second thing, how far that shark can mutate. ”
