Chapter 622 The Magic Mirror: It's Going to Kill Me!
Audrey's mirrors were naturally extraordinary; not only were the mirror surfaces large and clear, but the frames were also quite exquisite, made of sterling silver inlaid with gold wire and gemstones.
"Come here too, someone needs to observe this ceremony."
He said to M.
Arodes's rules require a third person to witness the questioning and answering, satisfying its bizarre penchant for causing the questioner to suffer or die. Although Luzer felt the mirror wouldn't dare do anything to him, the procedure still had to be followed.
"Swish, swish."
After M arrived, Luze lit a candle in front of the large floor-length mirror, then cut his finger and used his blood to draw a mysterious symbol on the mirror surface—a symbol belonging to the magic mirror Arodes.
A moment later.
"call!"
The room began to grow cold and dark, and gusts of chilling wind howled up.
"Meow?"
Luna's azure eyes gazed curiously at the invisible wind, her little head turning in response.
At the same time, the once clear and bright mirror began to become incredibly deep, with ripples appearing on its surface, and dark red ancient Fusak characters emerging one by one: "You have summoned the great Arodes."
The dark red handwriting, combined with the eerie wind, looked extremely terrifying. However, the living person, the person with a split personality, and the cat in the room didn't seem to care much.
Lu Ze continued watching expressionlessly.
The words on the mirror continued to appear: "You must abide by the corresponding principles; for every question asked, you must answer...!#@￥@!*"
Before the second sentence was fully displayed, the situation suddenly changed, generating a jumble of chaotic characters, as if the writer had experienced extreme panic. A moment later, the blood-red characters vanished, replaced by a series of pale, trembling ancient Fursac script: "Great Master! Forgive the humble, foolish Arodes, for it failed to recognize you! Your character is so profound and lofty, so awe-inspiring; your spirit is so magnificent and expansive, that it makes one pause..."
That's enough.
Looking at the dazzling white expanse on the mirror, Lu Ze found it both glaring and intricate, and coldly interrupted, "Don't talk so much nonsense, it's giving me a headache."
With a "whoosh," all the text on the mirror was wiped away, leaving only a line of pale characters: "I'm very sorry, great master."
Next to the handwriting was a simple sketch of a person lying prone, as if trying their best to express submission.
"What is this? It's quite interesting."
M couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.
"This is the Magic Mirror Arodes."
Luze told her, then stared at the rippling mirror surface and slowly said, "Arods, I summoned you because I have some questions to ask."
He had made a promise to Klein, so he didn't really frighten the mirror; he simply intended to use it to answer his own questions.
"It is my honor to serve my great master."
Arodes's reply remained humble, its words seemingly tinged with barely suppressed fear, a stark contrast to the imposing aura it had just displayed.
"Alright then."
Lu Ze nodded. "My first question is, what is the true identity of the 'Primordial Moon'?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Arodes suddenly stopped moving.
Like a computer crashing, the spreading ripples stopped, and the pale writing froze in the center of the mirror. This strange situation lasted for about three or four seconds, then a "crack" was heard, and a horizontal crack suddenly appeared on the mirror. Immediately afterwards, more and more cracks appeared, and the entire mirror shattered!
"Splash..."
A shard of mirror detached from its frame and fell to the ground with a clatter. Startled by the sound, Luna lightly leaped onto the table and turned to look down at the ground.
Lu Ze stood there, stunned.
What's this all about? I just asked a question, how did the mirror shatter without any warning?
M also looked down at the broken glass.
"So, you called me here just to show me a magic trick involving a shattered mirror?"
She joked with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Lu Ze's face darkened.
He waved his hand, and a whirlwind immediately rose in the room, swirling up the sharp fragments and tossing them into the trash can. He then wandered around the living room, found a mirror the size of his palm, and resumed the ritual to summon Arodes.
"Great master, Arodes is at your service."
The pale handwriting appeared on the mirror, seemingly showing not only fear of Lu Ze but also weakness.
"Arods, what just happened?"
Lu Ze asked.
"Great master, your humble servant begs you to ask a different question. Poor Arodes dares not speak of anything concerning that being."
The pale handwriting replied in this way.
It seems Arodes is scared.
It wasn't just fear; the mirror had actually suffered real damage. It seemed the evil god behind the "Primordial Moon" was a truly terrifying being... Lu Ze thought to himself. There was no way the magic mirror could provide any information. He wondered if the "Mercury Serpent" could help. After all, he was a Sequence 1 angel; he shouldn't be so easily frightened into rebirth by a single question.
Lu Ze sensed a danger. The deeper he investigated, the more terrifying the "Primordial Moon" became. Perhaps with his current rank and strength, he should be more cautious.
But before that...
He turned his attention back to the mirror.
"In that case, I won't ask you that."
He said.
"Thanks you!"
Arrodes breathed a sigh of relief.
"Next question: Do you know where Ince Zangwell is hiding?"
Lu Ze continued to ask.
The ripples on the mirror froze once again. Just when Luze thought it would repeat the explosion, it quickly recovered, and a line of text appeared on the mirror: "Ince Zangwill has left Backlund. His exact location is uncertain."
Next to the writing was a drawing of a little figure trembling with his head in his hands, as if to indicate that Arodes was very nervous about the issue.
What is it worried about? Ince Zangwill...? No, perhaps it's that guy's 0-08 that he always carries around...? Luzer saw Arodes's state and knew that if he continued to press him, the latter would most likely crash again, so he thought for a moment and asked the third question: "What did you see in me?"
Arodes seemed to have noticed his unusual behavior, which might explain the source of his peculiarities.
However, after a ripple of water, Arodes's reply was rather ambiguous: "I see in you the beginning and the end of everything."
What kind of answer is that?
Lu Ze thought to himself.
This mirror made a grand entrance, but when it came to the three questions it posed, it either didn't dare to answer or gave vague and ambiguous answers... Where did that enthusiasm you had when you were trying to please Klein go? Why are you so terrified and out of your mind when it comes to me?
