Chapter 1671 Unexpected Reappearance
It must be said that Macana's decision to ask the old housekeeper to remove the mirror immediately seems to be correct... But who would have thought that what proved this point for him was just another accident!
The accident happened that afternoon after the old housekeeper sent someone to dispose of all the mirrors in the castle.
"... I happened to pass by the corridor at the door of the bathroom, and heard a strange sound coming from inside. When I opened the door and went in, I found Sulein... her head was soaked in the water. The flooded washbasin didn't move! Oh... How could someone drown in the sink? It's terrible..."
In Mr. Blois's study, the servant who was the first to discover the accident was talking, his hands trembling slightly. Obviously, until now, he has not been able to escape from the terrible scene he saw at that time.
At the same time, Mr. Blois was sitting behind the desk imposingly as usual, frowning and listening to the servant in front of him.
Behind him, the old butler silently played his role as an observer, without casually interjecting.
Maca saw that the two of them were lost in thought after the servant who was brought to report finished speaking, making the other party leaning slightly and standing in the same place rather at a loss, so he simply asked first:
"Then when we went to the bathroom, why was that... well, called 'Suleini'? Why was she lying on the floor? Didn't you say she was lying on the sink with her head soaking when you went in? in the water?"
"Oh! I just wanted to see how she was doing, really—although she was no longer moving, I thought at first that there might be salvation...I mean it!"
Probably out of fear of being suspected, the other party reiterated it several times.
However, Maca actually didn't doubt his meaning at all, and even the content of the question just now was just looking for something to say.
In fact, Maca is almost entirely non-existent.
"Mr. McLean, is there anything else you want to ask him?" At this moment, Mr. Blois said, "If you have any questions, just ask!"
"No, not for the time being." Maca shook his head accordingly, "But... in terms of suspicion, he seems to be the biggest one, isn't it?"
"Well, let's go here first!" Mr. Blois waved his hand casually after hearing what he said, "Take him to the basement to guard,
Remember to watch closely. "
Before the words were finished, two family wizards from the Blois family rushed out immediately, bound the servant with a magic rope and went out of the study. No matter how the servant called himself innocent, both of them ignored him.
It wasn't until he was dragged out of the room that Mr. Blois waved his hands at the other maids and male servants standing not far away, and said lightly:
"Go back first, too! Just do whatever you need to do."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old butler, who had never moved, finally took the initiative to walk towards the servants and led them out as well. Looking at it like that, maybe it was intended to appease the servants who were disturbed at first glance.
And until now, there were only Maca and Mr. Blois left in the study.
"Mr. McLean," Blowat paused, and then said, "Do you really think he is the suspect?"
After Maca heard it, he shook his head immediately—the reason why he said the words of doubting the other party was just to make the other restless servants feel safe after knowing that the "prisoner" was under control. Just be a little more at ease. And his ultimate goal is to let those people go back to temporarily eliminate the panic among the many servants in the castle.
If everyone is afraid, things will only get worse.
"That's certainly not a suspect."
Maca was sitting next to Bulova's desk, frowning as well and said slowly:
"Mr. Blois, I asked Mr. Steward to remove the mirror in the castle. You should already know about it? I was wondering if the water surface of the sink full of water is also Is it like a mirror?"
After hearing this, Mr. Blois couldn't help but nodded again.
"Maybe it's not that clear, but... I think if it's still water, it can still be used as a temporary mirror."
After saying this, he turned around again and said quite seriously:
"But Mr. McLean, what the hell is the mirror . . .?"
"Well, how should I put it?" Maca scratched his head in embarrassment, "In short, it has something to do with Hai Erbo! He has a very weird ancient mirror, and that mirror is in my hand—yesterday At night, I lifted the seal on it once."
Just as he was talking, Maca suddenly spread his hands, shook his head and said:
"Although I thought I had set up enough protection in the room at that time to isolate some bad influences, but now it seems that its power has spread in a way that I don't understand at present."
"Is that so?" Blois couldn't help sighing slightly after hearing this, "If even you, Mr. McLean, don't know where the problem lies, it seems a bit bad."
"Yeah!" Maca said, "I didn't expect that after I sealed that thing up again, accidents would still happen!."
After finishing speaking, the two couldn't help being silent for a moment, and then Blois said:
"So...Mr. McLean, can I have a look at that 'ancient mirror' you mentioned?"
"Of course," Maca said, "or, if I want to show it to you, I have to take advantage of it now—because in the next period of time, I plan to take it out of here."
While saying this, Maca gestured to Bulova, and then turned his head and walked towards the door first. Seeing this, Blois immediately got up and followed.
To be honest, at this point, Maca really wants Mr. Blois to take a look at the Devouring Mirror. Let's not talk about whether he can see some tricks, at least he is good at dealing with sealing magic, and it may be of great help to him in that respect.
However, due to the particularity of the Mirror of Devouring, obviously it cannot be shown casually for others to see. Even if the facts have proved that his protection seems to be unable to completely isolate the influence of the mirror, it is still better than doing nothing.
Not long after, Maca took Mr. Blois to the top floor of the tower where he lived, and immediately began to carefully rearrange the rune array.
Blois watched from the side, and occasionally nodded, as if he understood something from it, but most of the time he still had the same puzzled expression as other people who had seen Maca's pattern.
