"I have a friend at Midhill Castle, a captain, and he asked me to ask you about the worship of the twins."

Xia De said casually.

"Oh, Middlehill Castle, so it is."

Professor Manning put down his teacup:

"However, let me emphasize first that some of the texts I saw back then were content that the church prohibited from spreading. I signed a contract with the church, and some content cannot be disclosed."

"It doesn't matter, you just say what you can say."

Shad said:

"First of all, I want to know, is the tradition of prehistoric twin worship related to death?"

"die?"

The professor was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head:

"What's the relationship between these two? No, it doesn't seem to be completely unrelated. I was still very young and not the main excavator, so I didn't see much textual information. But I heard locally in Fort Midhill In other words, twins can actually be regarded as one person. Therefore, when one of the twins is seriously ill and may die, the death of the other twin can be killed in advance, thereby preventing the death of the seriously ill person.. ...."

He glanced at Xia De's expression:

"Of course, this is just a ignorant approach. When I was young, it was just a rumor to scare children."

In this way, the worship of the twins should have nothing to do with the third chosen one.

"So, in the twin worship, is there any ritual that can let the twins who are far apart and never see each other express their thoughts and even break the barrier?"

"That's an odd question."

said the professor, but still nodded:

"Of course there is, but I must remind you that I am a professor of history and archaeology, not folklore. So I don't understand the mysticism. I just use my own experience and knowledge to restore the ancient It's just knowledge."

"Yes, Professor, I didn't see any illegal information from you tonight."

Xia De said immediately, Professor Manning nodded with a smile, called his servant, and went to the third floor to get the documents in the reference room.

Professor Manning did not compile the archaeological materials he carried out at Mount Xical when he was young, but wrote them into his teaching plans as materials for teaching young people:

"Look at this, Red Butterfly, yes, this is it."

He handed the pages in the hard paper folder to Xia De, and said while Xia De was flipping through:

"It is recorded in the remaining texts of the Gemini Sect that we unearthed that the holy emblem of the great Gemini God, who has gone far away, has an image similar to a butterfly. Later, after communicating with the Association of Folklorists and Prophets, it was discovered that the meaning of the 'red butterfly' in divination , itself has the meaning of sacrifice, twins, etc.”

"So, the way to break the barrier between the twins is related to Red Butterfly?"

"Yes, a strange and complicated poem, which I wrote down just because of my interest."

Professor Manning squinted his eyes and recalled the past, while Xia De flipped through it, he narrated the lesson plans he had taught all his life:

"The red butterfly spreads its wings,

Flying over the towering mountains,

Fly over the black river,

May the wind take away the eternal thoughts,

until the end of life and death. "

What Professor Manning said is exactly as recorded in the text:

"Sounds like a ballad, too."

"Yes, there should be other meanings in poetry and ballads, at least I and most scholars think so."

The professor nodded:

"I really miss it. When I read this passage for the first time, I was only a little older than your current age. I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, I would already be this age."

He sighed, not knowing what to think of.

Professor Manning suddenly became sad, so Xia De talked with him about some past events, and listened to him tell the interesting stories about traveling around the Old Continent when he was young, and he didn't leave until eight o'clock in the evening.

The second stop tonight is Old John's **** shop. The **** shop usually closed at ten o'clock at night, so it wasn't rude for Shad to visit so late.

When he pushed the door and entered, Papa John under the gas lamp was pouring tea for himself. He raised his eyes when he heard the door push:

"Oh, good evening, detective. I just wanted to find you, and there is news about the special blood you asked me to find for you. I know you may be out of money, so it's cheaper this time."

"I'll talk about the blood later, father, help me identify a relic first."

Hearing this, Old John immediately became interested. After putting on the gloves, he picked up the silver mirror Shade put on the counter:

"Tsk tsk, mirror, relics with this appearance are rare. Since this is the case, it should be easy to find the information. Detective, wait for me."

He put down the mirror and went to

He walked up to the second floor of the **** shop, and walked back in only five or six minutes. Judging from the expression on his face, he already had the result:

"I found it, it turned out to be this, a poet-level (level 2) relic - [Death Mirror]."

"Um?"

"Don't worry, it's not a relic of the undead, it should be considered a relic of the space."

"What effect?"

Xia De asked curiously, and Old John returned to the counter unhurriedly:

"Two characteristics are known at present. First, this mirror can hold corpses almost infinitely. Yes, the corpses can be hidden in the mirror. The first time St. Byrence contained this mirror was from a corpse thief Of course, the corpses stored in the mirror have a chance to be transformed into low-level undead, so people speculate that this mirror was originally made by a witch who is proficient in space power and undead power."

"Can it be used as a space prop to accommodate other items?"

"cannot."

"That mirror doesn't seem to be useful."

Shad shrugged. If he wanted to transport a corpse, thaumaturgy would suffice.

"Don't worry, stop the second characteristic. Holding a mirror, the holder can enter the mirror space."

"What's the meaning?"

Now Shad was interested.

"With this mirror, you can find another mirror and walk into it. Oh, let me demonstrate."

As he said that, Old John moved out a floor-to-ceiling mirror that looked like an antique among the messy goods in the **** shop. He took Shade's [Death Mirror], and reached out to touch the huge mirror.

The mirror surface seemed to have ripples, and Old John actually walked in like this.

The mirror reflected Xia De outside the mirror, but he could also see Old John in the mirror. This picture was very strange. Xia De reached out to touch the mirror surface of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, but the mirror could not enter.

"Interesting, isn't it?"

Papa John hid behind the shelf in the mirror, so he was no longer seen in the mirror.

He walked out of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and returned the [corpse mirror] to Xia De, UU reading www.uukanshu. com continues to introduce features:

"You can bring any soulless items into a mirror while holding the [Necropsy Mirror]. Yes, it can also be brought into a mirror containing relics, and you can choose a mirror of any size. But when you leave the mirror When , the items you brought in will also be ejected together."

That is to say, it is impossible for this small mirror to be regarded as a space item.

But Xia De suddenly thought of another possibility:

"If I hold [the corpse mirror] and enter another mirror, can the mirror I'm hiding in be moved?"

If possible, Xia De will let others enter the mirror, and then he will carry the mirror through the statue of [Original Rift] to realize spatial movement.

"No, when the mirror you choose is entered, the mirror will be fixed in space in a way that is absolutely inaccessible. And, when the mirror you choose will be broken, once it is broken, the [Death Mirror] will be automatically Pop out, and the mirror bearer will be trapped in the mirror space forever."

Papa John said, Shad nodded:

"That is to say, apart from hiding the corpse, it is still a small hiding place?"

"Yes, and after entering the mirror space, it can greatly reduce the spiritual pollution and soul pollution of the outside world. This is a very useful feature."

But the [Death Mirror] is equally dangerous. In addition to storing corpses that may cause the undead to revive, once the user stays in the mirror world for too long, the user may also be completely lost.

In fact, there are many dangers in the mirror world, and contemporary ring magicians have not explored them enough. But to Shad, the mirror was valuable enough.
