Chapter 198: The Beginning of the Hunt (19)
After flipping the mirror over and covering it with a black cloth, Aaron stepped back a few meters away to ensure safety, leaving one of the forgers to stay by the mirror.
Standing a few meters away, Aaron waited silently, trying to verify his guess.
According to his own analysis, it should be that after the mirror is blocked, the previous black shadow cannot come out, and it is precisely for this reason that it will prevent the forger from touching the mirror in the past.
After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, the previous black shadow has not appeared, and the mirror has not moved at all, until this time, Aaron can basically be sure that as long as the mirror is covered, he will be safe.
Next, Aaron walked slowly to the mirror, then crouched down, stretched out his right hand to remove the black cloth covering the mirror, and examined the dark shadow in the mirror.
"Well, why is it gone!" Aaron had planned to look at the black shadow in the mirror, but in the mirror he saw at this time, the black shadow was gone, and only his own reflection was seen.
When I turned it over before, the black shadow was still there, but it was gone, and Aaron didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't help frowning and staring at the mirror.
After looking at the mirror for a while, there was still nothing abnormal, and the black shadow seemed to disappear, as if it would not appear.
Thinking about it, Aaron couldn't figure out the reason, and the things related to the demon were all very different, and common sense couldn't explain it clearly.
"It seems that I still have to bring something, go and ask Geralt ......" After thinking about it to no avail, Aaron felt that it would be better to tell Geralt about this matter and see if he would give any useful answers.
Although Geralt said that it was up to Aaron himself this time, there were some things. It's really hard for him to figure it out alone, and a little help is still necessary.
With his decision in mind, Aaron immediately wrapped the mirror in a black cloth and left the room with his belongings, heading to Geralt in the tavern where he had started.
After a while, Aaron was in the tavern. As soon as he walked in, he saw Geralt.
At this time, he was sitting at the long counter drinking, and when Aaron saw it, he immediately stepped forward to talk to him: "Teacher, I found something and want to talk to you about ......"
Geralt put down his glass, got up, and walked upstairs to the room. At the same time, he said, "Go upstairs and talk about it!"
Soon, Aaron and Geralt arrived in the room.
After entering, Aaron immediately took out the mirror wrapped in black cloth, then removed the black cloth, put it on the table, and said to Geralt, "Teacher, I just found this mirror not long ago. And it was ......"
After taking things out, Aaron remembers what he had just experienced. From beginning to end, he told Geralt 1510, and even Berg told him about it.
"Teacher, after I took off the black cloth, the black shadow disappeared, and there were many things I didn't understand. I can't think of it, I really can't help it, so I came back to ask you for advice......" After saying this, Aaron asked Geralt for advice.
After listening to Aaron's words, Geralt smiled faintly and said, "It seems that you are making good progress." I found the demon so quickly, in fact, I should give you some hints, because this demon is very special. ”
Hearing Geralt say this, Aaron's eyes lit up and asked, "Teacher, what is that demon's ability, and how can I deal with it?"
"Actually, the demon you encountered this time has a special name, called the Mirror Demon!" Geralt said unhurriedly.
"The ability of the mirror demon is related to the mirror, through the mirror, it can attack other people, just like what you just experienced, that black shadow is made by the ability of the mirror demon, mainly through a special rule, against the person who has seen the mirror, and the black shadow that appears is similar to the person who looks in the mirror......"
According to Geralt, the black shadow is actually modeled after Aaron's own strength and weakness, and the stronger the person, the stronger the black shadow will be, which is a very scary point.
And the black shadow is incorporeal, similar to the product of a rule, unlike evil spirits, there is no similar weakness, and the way to deal with it is to be like Aaron, to violently resist and crack.
In addition, the last way is to break this rule, but this kind of thing is impossible for ordinary people to do, and the same is true for Aaron.
"Teacher, when the shadow came out of the mirror, I saw the hands of the pocket watch, pointing to the mirror, which means that the demon should be inside, but how can I make it appear, or hurt it?" Aaron then asked.
"If the Mirror Demon wants to show up, he will show up, and if it doesn't, you won't see it anyway, but there's a way to destroy it!" Geralt replied.
"What a way!" Aaron desperately wanted to know how to do it.
"I've often told you that the existence of most demons needs to follow rules, although the ability of the mirror demon is relatively special, but it also has to follow the rules, and the rule that maintains its existence is the mirror, as long as this rule is broken, it is its end!" Geralt said with a slight squint.
After listening to this, Aaron immediately had a thoughtful expression, and then said, "Teacher, you mean that if you destroy the mirror, then this rule will be gone! I don't know if I'm right?"
Geralt nodded and said, "That's right, the ability of the mirror demon comes from the mirror, and it also survives on the mirror, as long as the mirror that maintains the rules is gone, it will naturally disappear......"
"In other words, if I break the mirror now, the mirror demon will be destroyed!" Aaron's eyes lit up and he said.
When Geralt heard this, he smiled faintly: "If you are absolutely right, then try it." ”
As soon as Geralt finished speaking, Aaron decisively took out a hammer and struck it heavily on the mirror.
Under the blow of the hammer, the mirror slammed, and at once it shattered into many small pieces, scattered on the ground.
After the mirror shattered, Aaron immediately took out the cube that collected the magic source and waited for the opportunity to appear.
However, after waiting for a while, the cube that collected the demon source still did not react at all, and only then did Aaron realize that the demon had not been destroyed.
"Isn't it enough to just break the mirror?" said Aaron, looking at the mirror fragments on the ground, his brow furrowed slightly. (To be continued......)
