"You can read it upside down." Tang Bai reminded.

Elijah turned his head and looked at Tang Bai, then turned his gaze back to the inscription on the mirror body. Following Tang Bai's reminder, he read the letters "erised" upside down.

"de private."

Elijah whispered the long inscription on the frame: "i-show-not-your-face-but-your-heart-re."

It’s your heart’s desire).”

"As you can see, this is a mirror, a very special mirror. It can reflect what a person desires most in his heart. Other than that, it has no ability." Tang Bai stood up and walked to Eli.

Ya, standing side by side with him.

"Where did you get this mirror?" Klaus looked at the mirror with a complicated expression. His spirit was much tougher than that of his sister Rebecca, although he was almost addicted to this mirror just now.

In the illusion reflected, even if Elijah didn't pull him away from the mirror, he could rely on his own control to wake himself up from the illusion that seemed to be a real illusion.

"I got it by chance." Tang Bai replied.

"I like it." Rebecca's eyes were full of envy and surprise.

Among the four siblings who are still active, Rebecca is the only one who has the worst self-control and is most easily affected by emotions. For more than a thousand years, the moments when she kept her surname were always

Maintaining an innocence and kindness that does not belong to her.

With the pampering and help of several brothers, Rebecca has never been stingy about expressing her favorite people and things, and goes to great lengths to possess them. Although most of the people she likes bring her time and time again.

harm.

"We should go." Klaus stretched out his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, took Rebekah's wrist with one hand, and dragged her forcefully towards the door.

"I like this mirror." Rebecca struggled twice, but could not break free from Klaus's palm. She felt a little aggrieved. You should get what you like. This is Rebecca's consistent insistence. Although she

Most of what he likes are things that are meaningless in the eyes of his brother Klaus.

The queen of the ball, the center of attention, a girl's unique dream about love.

These things that are almost worthless in the eyes of Klaus's brothers are what Rebekah has been pursuing. Although when she fails to achieve her goal, she will also use some special vampire methods to ensure that she

The wish comes true.

"Please wake up, my little sister, everything in that mirror is fake and unreal. We don't need it." Klaus irritably pulled Rebecca hard again, pulling her body away.

It takes a moment.

Elijah looked at Klaus and Rebecca and revealed a helpless look to Tang Bai: "Sorry, it's time for us to say goodbye."

"Wait a minute." Tang Bai stopped the three people who were about to walk out of the room.

The three Elijahs, who were stopped by Tang Bai's sudden plea, all looked at him with inexplicable expressions. But after Tang Bai said that, he ignored Elijah's suspicious eyes and looked at the three of them.

Under people's gaze, he waved his magic wand.

With the waving of the magic wand and Tang Bai's muttering of incantations, the items that were clicked seemed to come to life one by one, changing according to Tang Bai's wishes.

The wooden table in the room, which was said to be more than a hundred years old, "popped" and "popped", instantly disintegrated under the gaze of everyone, and its various parts fell apart. Immediately afterwards, the large wooden tabletop suddenly looked like

It was as flexible as paper, and with the dancing guidance of the magic wand in Tang Bai's hand, it folded like origami. In just a moment, an empty wooden box was born on the ruins of the wooden table.

Elijah and the others who were standing by the door with their palms on the doorknob looked at this scene strangely, guessing Tang Bai's intention.

After applying several traceless stretching spells and strengthening spells on the wooden box made on the table, Tang Bai waved the arm holding the wand sharply. The wooden box also followed the wave of the wand, and the bottom of the wooden box looked like

It was like a pulley, and it slid all the way on the thick and exquisite carpet in the direction of the Mirror of Erised. Along the way, it knocked open several table legs that were blocking the way, and passed through the belly of another table.

The brakes were applied directly in front of the mirror.

The scene that happened next made Elijah and the others, who had survived for a long time and were accustomed to all kinds of strange things, slightly raise their eyebrows, with a flash of interest in their eyes. The big, special mirror appeared in front of them.

Their eyes dazzled for a moment, then followed Tang Bai's gestures and flew up, falling straight towards the large open wooden box next to them.

Strangely, compared to the huge size of the Mirror of Erised, which according to common sense would not be able to contain it, the small wooden box that could only be stuffed into the corner of the mirror could completely accommodate it.

A huge mirror.

Ignoring the completely unequal diameters and volumes of the two, it was like the wooden box connected to another space. The mirror body was weirdly stuffed into the box. Looking at the tall mirror body, it was completely

It sank into the box, Tang Bai gently raised the wand in his hand, and the lid of the wooden box closed.

Although Tang Bai was not proficient in the Traceless Stretching Curse, he was not unfamiliar with it either.

With his current ability, although it is impossible for him to be like those wizards who use the traceless extension spell to enter and exit the house, he can easily expand a large, villa-like spacious space in a small tent. But it is just

It is not that difficult to stuff a large mirror that is close to the ceiling of a room into a wooden box that is less than half a meter in length, width and height.

Several nails that had been pulled out from the wooden table were pointed downwards and stood upright at the closed joint between the lid and the body of the box. It was as if they were being hit by an invisible sledgehammer, sinking into the box little by little.

Tang Bai, who had done all this in his body, turned around and slid the wooden box containing the Mirror of Erised along the carpeted floor to Rebecca's feet.

"She doesn't need this." Klaus looked at the simple wooden box at Rebecca's feet, with an expression on his face as if he wanted to destroy it. Klaus, who transformed into a vampire and traveled to many places, finally managed to

After getting rid of his father's shadow and the influence of his family, he re-established his inner persistence and desire. While he was attached to that family-style life, he also had a strong dislike for it.

He doesn't like it, and he doesn't need anyone to tell him what to do like his father. He longs to be a king that no one can disobey. For this, he is willing to make himself ruthless and cold, and pay all the price he can.

His brother Finn was once neatly sealed away by Klaus because he was structuring him. If necessary, he wouldn't mind sealing up his other brothers and sisters as well. He would seal them away until he thought it was possible.

Let them go and enjoy everything with him.

Therefore, while being intoxicated, Klaus also had a compulsive rejection of this mirror that could make him feel weak and tempted.

"No, I need it!" Rebecca broke free from Klaus's hand, squatted down and picked up the wooden box at her feet lightly, holding it tightly in her arms. She looked at Tang Bai: "You want

What?"

"Don't be hostile, don't get involved in my affairs." Tang Bai pondered for a moment, as if he had just found a good excuse, he gently touched the corners of his lips with his fingers and replied softly.

"I will do it." Rebecca nodded to Tang Bai's request without thinking. Then before Klaus and Elijah could react, she activated the super speed wind.

He ran out of the room.

"I don't know what your intention is for doing this, but I know one thing very well, she can't protect it." Klaus glared at Tang Bai, and walked out through the wide open door. He has blood with him.

Klaus was always suspicious of the people he contacted Elijah and Cole, and he naturally felt extra vigilant about Tang Bai's ingratiating behavior.

"Can you grasp their whereabouts?" Looking at the vampire ancestors disappearing into the house, Tang Bai secretly communicated with the mirror spirit.

"As long as there are mirrors, they are my eyes and ears. If you need, I can monitor all the houses with mirrors in New Orleans." Jing Ling's answer rang in Tang Bai's mind at the right time.

Tang Bai pursed his lips, "Okay then, first help me find a gathering place for witches and werewolves in New Orleans. Maybe after these ancestors leave in a few days, I should go and visit them."

"Is it really good to give away the Mirror of Erised? I'm afraid Klaus will throw it away soon."

"Maybe, but I believe Rebecca will pay attention to this and hide it in advance. With that mirror, you can better grasp the whereabouts of Klaus and the others. It doesn't need to be too detailed, as long as you can

Just make sure that the other party won't be in New Orleans for a while." Tang Bai muttered to himself.

The Mirror of Erised that was sent out, in addition to being able to reflect people's inner desires as they are, also has an obscure special property. That is, it allows the mirror spirit's monitoring ability to ignore its distance. This special property is caused by longing.

Given by the Mirror of Erised, who are as twins as fear.

There is a mysterious and unspeakable connection between the two mirrors, just like the two disappearing cabinets that seem to be one. This connection allows the mirror spirit to ignore the distance and wander between the two mirrors.

area.

In the confrontation between Rebecca and Klaus, Klaus will undoubtedly win. No matter how well Rebecca hides the Mirror of Erised, as long as Klaus wants to find it, it will only take a while

It's just a problem. But it doesn't matter if the plan fails. It was originally a spur-of-the-moment plan, and if it works, it will be good. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. Tang Bai saw this very clearly.

Tang Bai was not worried that Klaus would smash the Mirror of Erised in anger. As a complex and rare alchemical item, even if it looked very fragile,

It is not easy to destroy a product simply by using violence.

The next day, Tang Bai returned to the house in the suburbs and began to live in seclusion. The contract of the house in the French Quarter was also transferred to Tang Bai after Elijah and the others left that day.

Signed his name.

This means that without Tang Bai's permission, Klaus and the others will never be able to enter the door of that house again.

During the days of living in seclusion, Tang Bai was still very busy. He needed to apply various protective magics to the house where he lived.

For this house that occupies a large area, a single person uses magic to apply various protective spells on it. This is a tiring project that consumes energy and effort. Every day, I squeeze out my experience and thoroughly

It also took Tang Bai more than a day to complete.

Tang Bai spent the rest of the time flipping through Esther's magic book.

Some of the contents recorded in this magic book are similar to those recorded in Emily's magic book. Considering that Emily's ancestors were close friends with her ancestral mother Esther, this seems to be reasonable.

.

But there are still fundamental differences between the two magic books.

Emily's magic book is more like a spell book that records various spells.

Apart from spells, Esther's magic book also has some very special things. For example, it teaches a wizard how to learn to control his own power.

Witches have many means to suddenly increase their abilities. For example, the connection spell that connects the powers of several wizards, and the ability to take part of the power of a dead wizard as one's own, as well as some special

Magic rituals, etc., can make a wizard's ability instantly increase by a large margin.

However, this kind of overthrowing the seedlings to promote the same surge in abilities is not a good thing for wizards in many cases. Because if you gain something, you will inevitably lose something. When you embrace powerful power, you must also bear the corresponding price.

The most common ones are the rampage of power and the burden and torture the body endures when casting spells. This is just like eating. Every bite of food after eating is a kind of burden and torture. Control it by yourself.

Without power, it's like dancing on the edge of a cliff, with danger always accompanying you.

If Emily's magic book is compared to a simple spell book, then Esther's magic book is equivalent to a detailed magic control textbook. Compared with spells, these Esther's experiences

, is undoubtedly more precious than ordinary spells, and it also makes people feel more valued.

Tang Bai should be lucky that every time he enters a world, he can understand all the languages ​​​​and characters in this world. Otherwise, let alone practicing spells, just mastering and understanding the words in these magic books would be a task.

It's hard work.

In addition to decorating the house and reading magic books, Tang Bai also kept the mirror spirit paying attention to what was going on with Klaus. Seven days later, Klaus and the others seemed to have decided that it was unsafe here. After packing up and packing their luggage,

, and the whole family left.

After receiving the news, Tang Bai waited patiently for a few days, confirming that Klaus and the others would stop in a city near New Orleans. After staying temporarily, Tang Bai left the house where he lived for the first time.

Klaus and the others were indeed just as Tang Bai had guessed, they were dubious about Tang Bai's news, but out of caution and caution, they temporarily left New Orleans and settled in a nearby city to wait and see the situation for a while.

If the information Tang Bai revealed to them is not confirmed for a long time, or if there is any big disturbance here, Klaus and the others may come back at any time.

If he knew the accurate traces of his ancestor's father, Mikaelson, Tang Bai would really like to reveal the traces of Klaus and the others to him without any reservation, and lead him to Klaus and the others. But in terms of keeping his surname secret,

The ancestor's father knew how to hide himself better than his sons.

Tang Bai's power in this world is still too weak now. He only has more than 20 vampires such as Pearl under his command. With this small manpower, if he wants to find out the traces and information of some characters, it will take a lot of time.

possible things to do.

At the end of a dirty, smelly, narrow, dark alley, there were several low, dank houses scattered together. If the information Tang Bai had collected over the past few days was correct, this was one of the places where witches lived.

Near this alley is a cemetery.

The unique geographical environment of New Orleans makes the cemeteries here very different from those elsewhere. Except for the French Quarter, most cemeteries here have hanging coffins on the ground. This is not because the people here have different ideas from those elsewhere, or because

Because I miss the dead, I built a city of the dead for them.

. But in New Orleans, there is a swamp below the surface of the earth. If you dig a few more feet of grave, you will have to pour it back. It is impossible to bury the bones of your ancestors. You can't soak the bodies of your ancestors in water. In this regard, New Orleans

Orleans' unique cemetery tradition is somewhat similar to the customs of many Caribbean island countries.

Due to New Orleans' poor sewerage system, during the rainy season, abundant groundwater flows from the surrounding Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain to the north into the basin, which ranges from seven to twenty feet below sea level.

The old city was recharged, and the only drainage system began to "ruminate", with sewage flowing freely across the stone streets.

Coupled with the constant generosity of drunkards in the red light district all year round, Bourbon Street is always filled with the unique fishy smell of [fucking]. How can such a public health environment not be a breeding ground for diseases and plagues!

Therefore, there have been several large-scale plagues in the history of New Orleans, and a large number of lives have died. The two coffins in ordinary burials are not enough, so they have to temporarily borrow the "coffin apartments" specially repaired in the corner of the cemetery. These "apartments" are more expensive than independent ones.

The family's cemetery is much simpler, square and square.

Just like an oven, there are no decorations, pig iron railings or statues. Only the walls are mottled and peeled off. Each coffin has a small, square opening, and the coffin is put in from here. When the family cemetery becomes vacant, or

Until Jian Gu Day, I will return to the embrace of my ancestors.

The same is true for the cemeteries of witch ancestors.

When Tang Bai walked into this alley, his clothes and unfamiliar face easily attracted the attention of people here. (To be continued.)
