Chapter 210: The Hunt Ends
After leaving the stone house, Aaron rushed to find Geralt as fast as he could.
A short time later, Aaron met Geralt, who was drinking at the tavern counter again.
As soon as Aaron walked into the tavern this time, Geralt seemed to already know, turned around almost at the same time, waved at him, and walked upstairs to the room.
Seeing this, Aaron immediately followed closely and walked quickly to the upstairs room.
When he arrived in the room, Aaron was about to report the results to Geralt, but the other party took the lead and said, "I already know that you have completed this hunt, and I will tell you all about this mirror demon if you have anything else to ask about this time." ”
When Aaron heard this, he was a little surprised and asked, "Teacher, do you know all the things I did from beginning to end?"
Aaron was a little skeptical that Geralt had any way to see the whole process of his hunt, as if everything he had done was being watched by him.
After hearing this, Geralt nodded and smiled: "That's right, I have seen all your actions, and this time you behaved well when you were trapped in the mirror by the mirror demon......
"Teacher, if I can't get out of the trap of the mirror demon this time, will you make a move?" Aaron asked, rolling his eyes.
"If you're trapped too long and delay my business, I'll get you out, but after you get you out, the hunt will be over, and I won't tell you anything else. Geralt nodded affirmatively.
After listening to this, Aaron nodded slightly, and then asked, "Teacher, does that mirror demon have any other abilities besides the abilities I used this time and last time when I dealt with them?"
Although this time the Mirror Demon was successfully destroyed. However, Aaron still doesn't know enough about it, so he plans to find out all the details of the mirror demon from Geralt, so that it will be easier to deal with this kind of demon when he encounters it in the future.
Geralt had expected Aaron to ask about this, shook his head and said, "You have already seen the abilities of the Mirror Demon. Just these two, nothing else, the first ability is actually very easy to deal with, but the second ability is more troublesome......"
"As you can see, the second ability is to get people into the space inside the mirror, and this ability is not something that can be used casually, it must be the mirror that maintains his existence, and the other mirrors can only use another ability. ”
"Inside the mirror. It is a special space, controlled by the mirror demon, in which it is the master of space, and any change can be realized, so to speak, in which it is in a state of almost invincibility, but there is also a shortcoming, weak desire to attack other beings who enter the mirror. You have to make that life surrender to it, you should already know that. ”
Speaking of which. Aaron opened his mouth and said: "Is there an exit in the mirror every once in a while, and this mirror demon can't control it?"
Aaron had such a guess based on the situation when he left the mirror this time, but he was not sure, and wanted to ask Geralt for clarification.
"You're only half right. This situation must be established under one condition, that is, the person who enters the mirror has not surrendered to the mirror demon, this is a fixed rule. And that's your only chance to leave, if you miss it this time. When the exit is gone, even if you don't surrender to the Mirror Demon later, the exit won't appear......" Geralt explained unhurriedly.
According to Geralt's explanation, once you enter the mirror, you only have one chance to leave, and if you miss it, you won't have such a chance in the future, unless the mirror demon himself releases the person, but this is obviously impossible.
"It's good that I'm decisive enough this time!" After listening to Geralt's explanation, Aaron couldn't help but feel glad for his previous decisiveness, otherwise even if the mirror demon couldn't help him, he wouldn't be able to come out, so he could only wait for Geralt's rescue.
"Teacher, there's one thing I haven't been able to figure out, how did I get into the mirror?" After understanding the limitations of the mirror demon's abilities, there was one more thing he wanted to confirm, and that was when he fell into the trap, which he had never figured out.
When Geralt heard this, he smiled faintly and said simply and clearly: "You walked in by yourself!"
When Aaron heard this answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, because he had no impression of it at all.
Seeing Aaron's expression, Geralt explained: "Didn't you go to the mirror with a stranger, when you walked into the room, the mirror was actually there, but when the mirror demon used his ability, it would create illusions for you, and when you went to open the door and walked into other rooms, you actually walked into the mirror, so you never thought about what the problem was." ”
Hearing Geralt say this, Aaron suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the case, no wonder I have always thought it was incredible. ”
"By the way, teacher, is this hallucination unavoidable?" Aaron asked again, it was not the first time that he had been affected by the hallucination, but he had not been able to solve it.
"It's not that it can't be avoided, but you can't avoid it anyway, because your soul is not strong enough, if you count it according to the level of your mage, mages below level four will not be able to recognize this illusion, unless there are some special tools. Geralt replied.
Geralt said this, which means that it is inevitable that Aaron will enter the trap of the mirror demon this time, he has known it for a long time, and this is also a calculated test.
After listening to it, especially when Geralt said about the special tools at the end, Aaron's eyes lit up and said, "Teacher, you should have a tool to help you see through the illusion, I wonder if you can give me a defense?"
Now that Geralt had mentioned this, Aaron could guess that he must have such a tool on him, and he planned to get one for later self-defense.
Geralt touched his chin and said, "You're doing pretty well this time, I'll give you this." ”
After saying that, Geralt took out an extra pendant in his hand, and then waved his hand and threw it to Aaron.
Aaron's eyes were quick, and he immediately reached out to catch the thing, and before he could take a look, he immediately asked, "Teacher, how do you use this thing?"
"It's very simple, as long as the pendant is heated, it proves that you are facing an illusion, and there is no special way to use it. Geralt replied.
After speaking, Geralt added, "But don't rely too much on this thing, it doesn't work all the time, and it's useless in the face of more powerful or special illusions." (To be continued......)
