195 Truth 3 (1/2)
Chapter 195: Truth 3
A few people sat in the rock basement. The King of Nightmares refused a chair by himself and instead went over to squeeze onto the same seat with Andrela. While they were both expressionless, one could easily sense the intimacy between the two.
He realized that everyone was puzzled, so he reached his hand to his face in a massaging gesture and very soon, a thin piece of human skin mask was torn off his face, revealing a beautiful feminine face.
He had suddenly went from a moustached gentleman, to a stunningly beautiful flat chested young lady.
Andrela reached his arm over around her waist, the two of them pecked each other like there was no one else in the room.
”Alright, let’s get talking. I heard from Garen that you said you know him?”
The old woman looked at Garen upon hearing this, and squinted her eyes at him.
”The truth is, I do know him, Mr. Garen Lombard.”
She slowly lifted up the coffee and took a sip.
”The reason I invited the three of you over, is because I have news about the Argent Mirror that I wish to inform you all about.”
The trio was silent, awaiting for her to continue.
The old woman stopped for a moment, and introduced herself.
”I am Zhaoxing Qin. Just like you guessed, I am from the east. My father and I are telekinetic experts from the east.
As for telekinesis, it is the manipulation of reality with one’s mind, it deals with the fundamental form of matter. To be able to wield it and master it, one must be one in a million possessing talents beyond logical comprehension.”
”I have heard before that superpowers around the world tried researching something like this. They wanted to activate some inert human potential or something,” the King of Nightmares said softly. At this point her voice was clear and high pitched.
”That was a long time ago, all they got out of it is a bunch of failures,” Zhaoxing shook her head,”just as you’ve seen, the Immortal Palace’s elders: Flamingo, Sylphalan and all, are all masters in telekinesis. They were famous even at a young age, but as the years and decades passed they started to disappear into the shadows and eventually formed the Immortal Palace Alliance in hopes of absorbing the elites of every generation. However, nobody knows what their true intents are.”
”Famous since many years ago? How old is Sylphalan anyways?” Garen cut her short and asked.
”He came here with my father, when my father arrived he was already 45 years old,” Zhaoxing didn’t answer his question directly.
Garen frowned.
”I need to know if you knew a man named Gregor, he used to run an antique shop. What’s his relationship with Sylphalan.?”
Zhaoxing wasn’t surprised at all, it seemed like she was expecting Garen to ask that.
”We will discuss that in private later. That is related to one’s privacy, we can talk about the Argent Mirror first.”
he reached out her index finger and used it to draw a small circle in the air.
An unknown invisible energy seemed to emanate in the air. From the mat on her knees, a thin thread floated up and started stitching itself in the air.
In less than ten seconds, it had formed a perfect copy of the Argent Mirror.
Andrela was shocked and sat stunned, squinting in disbelief.
The King of Nightmares however was plain faced, obviously she had experienced supernatural phenomena like this before.
As for Garen, he was totally unfazed.
”This is the so called Argent Mirror, I’ve made a copy to ease explanation.” Zhaoxing looked at the copy in the air and sighed,”the Argent Mirror is a relic from ancient times designed for sealing. It is not a treasure, and it is definitely not a container of some secret technique. Instead…”
She stopped for a second,”...it is a tool for sealing willpower.”
The trio was now incredibly engrossed.
