Chapter 199: The Beginning of the Hunt (20)
"No, if the mirror is shattered, the demon will inevitably be destroyed, and as for what is going on now, if you think about it carefully, it should be very clear!" Geralt looked at Aaron and said from afar.
Originally, Aaron thought that it would be useful to completely destroy the mirror and not leave the fragments, but now when he heard Geralt say this, he suddenly understood.
"It's not this mirror that keeps the rules, it's something else!" Aaron suddenly realized.
Since his own approach is correct, that is to say, this mirror is actually not the one that needs to be broken.
"That's right, you're not looking for this mirror, to be exact, it's not this now, if it's before, then the one you're breaking now is right. Geralt said slowly.
"Why?" Aaron asked, confused.
"The mirror that maintains the rules is chosen by the mirror demon himself, but it is not always the same, and it has the ability to transfer the rules to other mirrors. Geralt explained.
"If he can change to other mirrors, wouldn't it be very difficult to deal with him!" If, according to Geralt, as long as the mirror demon replaces the mirror in time every time, it is not an easy matter to deal with it.
"The mirror demon is very cunning, but you don't have to worry too much about this, it is not easy to change the mirror, once it is replaced, it cannot be changed again for a long time, as long as you find the mirror during this period, it is fine. Geralt laughed.
"Teacher, how long is the time you are talking about, how long exactly?" Aaron wondered how long he had to find the mirror.
"With the strength of this mirror demon, it will take twenty years at the earliest, and the last time he replaced the mirror, it will be about eighteen years at most, I can tell you this very clearly. If you find that mirror recently, it won't be able to escape!" Geralt said.
"Teacher, why didn't the man named Berg I told you about just now disappear with a few of his friends more than thirty years ago? And what happened to those who went missing?" after learning how to deal with the Mirror Demon. Aaron wanted to know something else.
Among them, what he cares about the most is the reason for those who disappear, what will happen in the end, and the question of Berg's escape.
"I won't tell you these things now, what I want to say has already been said just now, and the rest is up to you to complete, and I won't give you any help next time. No matter what situation you encounter, remember to think calmly!" this time, Geralt shook his head, not telling Aaron his intentions.
Geralt didn't say it, Aaron was naturally a little disappointed, but there was no way, it could only be like this.
Anyway, I already know how to deal with the mirror demon, and I'm finally a little eyebrow-raising. All that's left is to find that mirror.
Next, Aaron and Geralt spoke a few words. He left the room and went out to find the mirror that really kept the mirror demon alive.
After watching Aaron's figure disappear, the corners of Geralt's mouth raised slightly: "I didn't tell you about another ability of the mirror demon, I hope you don't disappoint me!"
In fact, just now Geralt only revealed some of the abilities of the Mirror Demon, and there is also the most important and powerful ability. He didn't say it in order to give Aaron a challenge.
The first thing Aaron did when he left the tavern was to go to Berg's house and ask him about the mirrors to see if he could find any clues. After all, he'd spent a lot of time on it.
Soon, Aaron arrived at Berg's residence, and the two of them had been separated for less than two hours, not expecting to meet again so soon.
This time, it was Berg's daughter who came to open the door, but this time she saw Aaron coming over and behaved politely, which should have been specially ordered by Berg after he came back.
Knowing that Aaron had come back so quickly, Berg was surprised to come and greet him, and then the two of them came to the study again.
"Master Aaron, what's the matter with you coming back to me so soon?" asked Berg as soon as he sat down.
"Actually, I came here this time to ask, when you were looking for a mirror before, ......"
What Aaron wanted to know from Berg was whether he found anything special when he was looking for the mirror, and how he finally found the mirror.
"At that time, I was looking for it with a few friends, because we found a pattern at that time, those people who disappeared mysteriously seemed to have been in contact with some mirrors with a relatively long history, and we collected some old mirrors according to this clue, and the one I gave you was not found by myself, but found by another friend, but he was also missing, and I don't know much about some specifics. ”
"I only remember that he said that the original owner of the mirror had someone in the family who had a problem with the mirror, and then one of the people in the family of the owner of the mirror disappeared, so my friend bought the mirror!"
Berg told everything he knew.
"What's wrong with that mirror?" Aaron asked, sensing that this was the point.
"I didn't really care about this at the time, and I didn't ask for specific details, so I really can't tell you this. Hearing this, Berg shook his head helplessly.
Later, Aaron asked Berg a number of questions, mostly about those who had disappeared.
After going through everything he wanted to ask, Aaron took his leave and left.
From Berg's mouth, Aaron did have some gains, and locked the mirrors he was looking for on some old mirrors, which greatly narrowed the scope of what he was looking for.
According to his analysis, all the people who disappeared have been exposed to some old mirrors, which is a very key clue, although Aaron does not know the reason, but it can be estimated that eighty percent is related to the rules.
In other words, the mirror demon is not something that can be used by any mirror, but there are certain limitations.
If you want to find some old mirrors, the search area is much smaller, although there are many old mirrors, but they are certainly much less than those new ones.
And the search range is in the city, because the mirror demon goes back and forth between the mirrors, and can't be too far away from the mirror that maintains the rules.
Now, one of the things that Aaron thought of was to collect some of the old mirrors in the city and break them all, and he didn't believe that it wouldn't work.
It's just that this method is a little slower, and it takes a lot of time to spend on it, and it must be too slow for him to collect the mirrors by himself, so he has to hire some people to collect them...... (To be continued......)
