Chapter 2842 Bronze Mirror
The conversation between the alchemical puppet and Adanis was also heard by other people present, including Angel.
For these questions and the so-called conjectures of the alchemical puppet, they are actually pointing directly to one core: you have never grown up.
Adanis's self-esteem is so high that she never thought that she has not grown up at all compared to ten thousand years ago.
To put it nicely, it is called the original intention has not changed. But if this "original intention" is problematic from the beginning, closed, and a frog in the well, then no matter how nice the words are, they can't cover up the immaturity underneath.
Even if Adanis's power has become stronger, in Orao's eyes, she is the same as before, and has not changed at all.
Of course, there must be some other reasons that have caused Orao's perception of Adanis to remain unchanged, and these specific factors and the ins and outs of the matter, Angel does not know.
But Angel can roughly guess the intention behind these questions raised by the alchemical puppet.
Just like what Jon said: Those who are involved are confused, and those who are on the sidelines are clear.
The answers to these questions, in summary, actually have only one core: Adanis held Orao too tightly, so tightly that Orao only saw one side of Adanis. And this side is those questions that you have not grown.
To put it bluntly, questions and answers are a dead cycle.
And to break this cycle, it is not difficult in Angel's opinion, as long as Adanis lets go appropriately.
But this choice is very difficult for Adanis.
In the end, what Adanis will decide, Angel does not know. But... he does not care.
What he cares more about now is Orao who is collecting poetry collections on the other side.
Angel does not care about those poetry collections. What he cares about is whether Augustine asked Orao to collect poetry collections for other purposes?
And are these intentions related to him?
Originally, Angel hoped that Adanis could ask Augustine for the answer, but Adanis herself was confused. Ingres could not ask, so he could only wait silently for Orao's return.
By then, Augustine should have given an answer, right?
On the other side, Orao's movements were very slow at first, as if he was waiting for his master Augustine to stop, but later he found that Augustine had no intention of stopping at all, so Orao could only speed up silently and put the bookshelves one by one into the strange bronze mirror.
But even if Orao speeded up, it took him almost a quarter of an hour to collect all the poetry collections in the secret meeting room. It can be seen how terrifying the total amount of poetry collections here is.
Without the bookshelves and books piled up, the pure white walls of the secret meeting room were exposed. The room, which already had a sense of a pious church, became more sacred and solemn under the reflection of the white walls.
Orao walked back silently, stood in front of the alchemical puppet, and lowered his head: "Master, the poetry collection has been packed."
The alchemical puppet nodded: "Then sit down."
Orao hesitated: "Master, I..."
"Sit down." The alchemical puppet interrupted Orao: "I know you have a lot of questions, I will answer them for you."
Orao was silent for a moment, but still sat down, quietly waiting for the alchemical puppet to speak.
Angel also looked over curiously at this time. Although he wanted to exclude himself and be a real spectator who had nothing to do with him; but he knew that he couldn't do it at present. Augustine gave him the poetry collection, but Orao showed obvious resistance, and what he resisted was not giving the poetry collection, but asking him to collect books.
This made Angel very curious, what was the trick of collecting books? What made Orao resist so much?
While thinking, Angel's eyes inadvertently looked at the bronze mirror floating in front of Orao.
Although he did not open the alchemy eye, with his alchemist's intuition, this bronze mirror is not simple. The ability to hold so many poetry collections means that its internal space is very large. And it has not changed at all, it is very likely not the usual mirror space.
Perhaps it is a special mirror similar to the main body of Lady Mirror Princess?
Or is it a "witch garden"? Garden in the mirror?
Thinking of this, Angel had a guess in his mind: this bronze mirror is obviously Orao's treasure, and Augustine asked him to use this treasure to store poetry collections. Is he going to give this treasure to himself?
If this is the case, Orao's resistance is understandable. After all, no one is willing to let go of such a treasure.
However, if the situation is really like this, it is not difficult to solve. Angel does not like to forcibly take away what others love, not to mention that it is not that he cannot refine large space props himself. He does not have it now, purely because there is no material, and the bracelet space is still enough, so it is not needed for the time being.
Since Angel can refine large space props by himself, there is no need to rob Orao's bronze mirror. After leaving, he can buy some disposable space capsules at the nearby wizard market or directly from the gray merchant, which is enough to take the poetry collection away, and the bronze mirror will belong to Orao.
This is also a win-win situation.
When Angel was thinking about this, the alchemy puppet finally spoke, and he said to Orao: "You should have understood what I mean."
Orao: "I understand, but I don't understand why the master wants to... do this."
Alchemy puppet: "Why do you want to do this? I said this question at the beginning."
The alchemical puppet suddenly turned to look at Angel: "Because, he is the poet who bathes in moonlight, as I believe!"
Angel was suddenly called, and was also pointed out this rather embarrassing title, which made him not know how to react for a while.
Fortunately, the alchemical puppet did not mean to talk to Angel, but turned his head and continued to say to Orao: "Isn't this reason enough?"
Orao opened his mouth and wanted to say "not enough", but this was directly against the master's opinion, and he didn't want to do it.
But if he had to admit this reason, Orao was unwilling.
In Orao's view, the master actually just found a random reason to prevaricate.
Orao's silence made the atmosphere at the table slightly depressing.
Angel thought about it and felt that it was time for him to speak. After all, this was about him, so he should have some say, right?
"Although I don't know why the gentleman suddenly mentioned the title of the poet reciter, this is just a verbal praise, and I don't think it has any qualifications for Orao to make any contribution."
Angel's words made everyone look at him.
Orao looked at Angel with a complicated look, while the alchemical puppet's eyes were full of meaning.
"Does the poet reciter know what kind of contribution Orao has made?" The alchemical puppet looked at Angel.
Angel: "I don't know, but I guess it has something to do with that bronze mirror?"
The alchemical puppet did not give a yes or no answer, but continued to look at Angel with a smile, as if to see what else Angel could say.
Angel thought for a while and said: "There are many ways to deal with the poetry collection. If you argue for the bronze mirror, it's actually unnecessary."
The alchemical puppet smiled and said: "It is somewhat related to this mirror, but it is not only related to this mirror."
Angel frowned, what does it mean to say this and that?
Alchemy Puppet: "Do you know what this mirror is called?"
Angel wanted to shake his head, but at this moment, a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out a name: "...Twin Mirror?"
In fact, Angel was thinking of "Augustine's Twin Mirror", but Augustine was right in front of him, so it was not good to call him by his name, even if it was the prefix of the mysterious prop, he did not dare to call him by his name. So, he just said the "Twin Mirror" at the end.
For Angel's answer, the others had no expression, but Orao looked at Angel with a shocked face.
It seems that Angel really got the name of this mirror right.
And the alchemy puppet's eyes did not change, still smiling and saying: "I didn't expect that the two mirrors I refined could be heard by the poets."
Angel:...Did he really guess it right? It's a twin mirror? !
Twin mirror? Does that mean it's two mirrors?
In other words, the mysterious object Augustine's twin mirror, which is as famous as the Book of Kells, actually has two sides, one in the source world, and the other is this inconspicuous bronze mirror in front of him? !
If this is true, Angel suddenly regretted his impulsive words just now.
If it is the other side of the twin mirror, even if its effect is not as powerful as that mysterious object, it should have some special abilities.
Even Angel couldn't help but have a little greed in his heart.
However, Angel quickly suppressed the desire that came so fast. Because his greed is not actually possessiveness, but desire.
He longed for this mysterious object, also known as the "Mirror of Truth", to give an answer.
Can it connect to another universe?
If it can, can it connect to... the earth?
He never forgot why Angel embarked on the path of a wizard. At first, it was to save Jon. Later, Angel's ambition grew. He wanted to pursue a higher realm, to pursue the truth, and even thought about crossing the edge of the universe if possible and finding a way to send Jon back to the earth.
But Angel was not sure whether he could guarantee that Jon would live until then.
If the worst result really happened, Angel at least hoped to help Jon see his hometown, even if it was just through the mirror.
This was Angel's desire for the Mirror of Truth.
However, Angel was also very clear that the bronze mirror in front of Orao must be different from the Mirror of Truth.
Moreover, Augustine also made it clear that he had refined two mirrors. The real Mirror of Truth was in the distant source world. And this mirror might just be a failed product, or it might just be refined as a space prop.
If he really wanted to fulfill his "desire", he would definitely not be able to do it on this bronze mirror. However, the giant who refined the Mirror of Truth was right in front of him, so why should he go far away?
Maybe, as long as he could deal with Augustine, the refiner, he would be able to touch and use the Mirror of Truth once?
You know, Isabella was able to get the right to use it, which means that the Mirror of Truth can be lent to outsiders!
Thinking of this, Angel regained his composure: "The twin mirrors you made are famous, and many people know about them, not just me."
Alchemical Puppet: "Many people in the Source World know about the twin mirrors, but not many here. Moreover, even if Orao's bronze mirror is taken to the Source World, no one will think it is related to the twin mirrors. The poet can point it out in one sentence, which is evident."
After listening to the words of the alchemical puppet, Angel was confused. How did they become compliments to each other?
Instead of praising each other like this, it’s better to give something practical.
When Angel was thinking about how to start, the alchemical puppet continued: "Since the poet guessed that this is one side of the twin mirror, you should also be able to guess Orao’s identity."
Angel: "......?" Isn’t Orao the owner of the twin mirror?
While Angel was puzzled, he suddenly remembered that the alchemical puppet seemed to have mentioned something before... Orao has a brother?
Orao, brother, twin, bronze mirror, mirror of truth... This series of keywords made Angel vaguely guess a possibility.
"Bronze mirror, is Orao?"
Before, the wise master clearly said that Orao and Adanis were both "spirits", and they were very likely spirits born from the mirror, but the wise master only knew this information. As for where their real bodies are and what they look like, the wise master doesn’t know either.
Now, a bronze mirror appeared in front of Orao. Considering all the details, Angell suspected that the bronze mirror might be Orao's true body.
And the "Mirror of Truth" that was famous in the Source World might be the true body of Orao's brother?
After all, a mysterious spirit is also a spirit.
The alchemical puppet smiled and said, "As expected of a poet, you can understand it at once."
After getting the confirmation from the alchemical puppet, Angell now understood why Orao was so resistant.
He had guessed wrong before, thinking that the alchemical puppet was going to give him the bronze mirror, and Orao was reluctant to give it up, so he showed such resistance.
But the truth is that the alchemical puppet was not giving him the bronze mirror at all, but was going to give Orao to him!
Angell was a little suspicious at this time, whether the alchemical puppet, that is, Augustine, did not like the two poor spirits left in the Clear Sky Poetry Room.
Previously, he wanted to give Adanis to Angell, but after being rejected, he wanted to send Orao over again. Moreover, this time Augustine did not directly say that he was giving it to Orao, but in a roundabout way, saying that he was giving the poetry collection and asked Orao to use his own body to put it in it. In this way, if Angel wanted to bring back the poetry collection, he had to take Orao with him.
After understanding the truth, Angel was also a little helpless.
No wonder Orao resisted so much. If it were him, he would probably resist more and be more angry than Orao.
Moreover, Augustine threw Orao to Angel, and he didn't even bother to find a reason. He just said "This is a poet" and that was it.
How could Orao obey? Not to mention Orao, Angel himself didn't obey!
