…… Man in the mirror?

Annan felt that his mind was still a little muddy, as if he had slept for too long.

He shook his head slightly, walked over and whispered to Sir Silver, "I remember...... There is also a god whose name is 'Dragon in the Mirror'. But I don't know His priesthood. ”

"You read it from the book of Gryanznuha."

Silver Sir chuckled and turned around to directly debunk Annan's more euphemistic words.

“…… Yes. ”

Annan nodded.

Hearing this, he was a little puzzled.

Why is it that just mentioning the name can be directly recognized as the source of the information?

"The Dragon in the Mirror is a relatively rare alias because it can be misleading...... He doesn't have the authority of a mirror, and he's not exactly a dragon. It's like my grandmother is occasionally called a 'cold-blooded lady', and someone calls me a 'merchant in white'. ”

Sir Silver explained.

Only the name given to by the gods in their ascension rites can be their true code name, and the call of that name will be heard when they are close to them. But even if the name "Cold-Blooded Lady" was called in the Duchy of Winter, the old grandmother would not hear it...... Because it is not the name given to it by the old grandmother at all, but a nickname.

That is, aliases.

This is a method of evasion when you "don't want to be discovered".

"As for Gryanznuha using this name as a pronoun, the reason is simple, because the skeleton is being hunted down by Jaon. The dragon in the mirror is actually a metaphorical deity, the god of painting and vanity, the subordinate god of Jaron.

"But I don't think you know...... He is actually a painting, a painting with life. ”

"A painting?"

Annan was a little surprised.

He had indeed heard the name Paper Hime...... When he first learned about Amos, he looked up similar information. She is a kind and silent goddess.

She was the patron and idol of many poor painters.

If their paintings really can't be sold, they can be sacrificed to the paper through a ceremony. She would give them some silver coins based on the amount of effort they put into their paintings, rather than the value of the paintings themselves, so that they would not starve to death...... But the reason why Annan remembered the name was that these silver coins were not conjured by the paper princess with divine powers, nor did they ask for the silver lord...... Rather, she earned it herself.

Yes, she is a legendary painter herself, walking the world and the streets.

"That's right, it's Paper Ji."

Silver Sir nodded.

"But I guess, you probably don't know...... Paper Ji was one of the earliest paintings painted by Yaon, and it is almost Yaon's best work.

"The painting is of a silvery-white dragon, which is lifelike. Under the divine power of Jaron, it can even move, roar, and fly in paintings...... Its power can even affect the present world. ”

Speaking of this, Sir Silver glanced at Annan with some subtlety.

He then continued: "Later, the painting was acquired by a real dragon.

Unfortunately, he fell in love with the dragon in the painting. It can even be said that it is obsessed......

"It completely gave up everything he got in reality just to spend more time with it, and for hundreds of years, he only chatted with it, got intimacy, and watched it fly on the top of the snowy mountains with obsession.

"But it's just a painting...... He has no mind or soul, and just responds to others according to what Yaon has predetermined.

Eventually, the dragon got the title page of the Book of Truth, which was called Falsehood and Truth.

But he was so struck by the power that the book gave him that he was almost annoyed. Because the 'truth' in "Falsehood and Truth" clearly told him that the dragon in the painting could not be real. But by using his own truth, he can turn it into a 'more real delusion,' so real that it is almost impossible to discern.

The dragon rejected the seemingly beautiful offer.

He preferred to believe that the dragon was completely real, and that the painting contained the soul of a dragon. He feared, even resented, the truth he had received, and finally made a decision—he decided to give up his truth.

Or more accurately, he forcibly proved ...... There is indeed the soul of a dragon in that painting.

"He used his knowledge and financial resources to construct a complete ritual of ascension that ignited his soul...... But at the center of the ritual was not himself – the painting. ”

The dragon traded his soul, the truth, and everything for a chance to force the false into the real.

"So, Paper Ji became a god?"

Annan blinked.

…… What is this?

Is the otherworldly version of paper sexual?

However, considering that the painting is moving, can speak, and can even chat with people like an artificial intelligence...... It seems、No、I can't understand it at all...... Right?

Sir Silver was clearly unaware of the subtle emotions in Annan's heart.

Annan asked, "So, did he succeed?" ”

"He should have succeeded. Although the original god of vanity and truth lost his soul, the painting did have a spirit and a true soul. ”

Sir Silver only smiled gently, "Just as he had imagined, it was a cold, graceful, and kind little she-dragon. That is, today's painting and the god of vanity, Paper Hime......"

But he himself couldn't see it.

Sir Silver didn't say that. Annan also understood what he meant.

Hearing Sir Silver's words, Annan suddenly remembered the paint that the Skeleton Duke had given to Amos.

There seems to be some similarity between the two...... But there are some differences.

In this way, "Dragon in the Mirror" is indeed an almost insulting nickname for Paper Hime. At the same time, it is a precise metaphor for where He is.

"Why are you talking to me so much?"

Annan was keenly aware of something.

Silver Jue nodded slowly.

"He now lives in Noah's capital," he said to Annan, "and he wants to see you." ”

"See me?"

Annan was a little surprised.

Why?

I don't know you either......

“…… Because that painting is actually a portrait of his grandmother. ”

Yinjue raised his eyebrows, not embarrassed, but said with a smile: "However, you also know the temper of the old grandmother." He didn't want to see him...... I don't think the paper has anything to do with him.

"Don't ask, you'll know when you get there. You should satisfy the homesickness of the paper hime, Annan. It would be good for you to get to know more of the other gods. And with the paper girl to protect you, you will be safer in the royal capital, and it will be more convenient to act. ”

Safe? Is there anything safer than the protection of Sir Silver in the kingdom of Noah?

And this is the paper girl who wants to see me...... Or do you want me to meet Paper Hime?

Annan gradually figured out something from these words.

No, why should Paper Ji protect me?

Silver is ...... Not going to come forward?

"You want me to meet Paper Hime...... Or do you want me to go to the royal capital? ”

Annan blinked, realizing the off-string sound of Silver Jazz.

He asked directly and simply, not guessing by himself: "If you want me to go back to the royal capital, then is it in the identity of Don Juan or in the identity of Annan?" ”

This is Annan's age advantage - if he abides by the rules, he is sensible, and if he is unruly, he is called frank, and no one will care about anything.

…… Of course, it may also be an advantage in appearance.

"Naturally, in the form of 'Don Juan Geraine'. Come when you're free and do me a favor...... It's not in a hurry, I'll come back at the earliest when I'm going to be hunting. It should be by May at the latest. ”

Sir Silver smiled, squatted in front of Annan and whispered, "But you don't have to be too afraid, in these months, I will let little Henry arrest all the rotten believers." In Noah's kingdom, there will be no more believers of rotten husbands. ”

“…… May I ask, what is the general busy? I'd better prepare in advance, so that I don't have to mess up with the clumsiness. ”

Annan asked politely.

"It's not a big deal."

Sir Silver gently hugged Annan's waist, and whispered with the corners of his mouth raised:

"It's for you to attend Don Juan's funeral in place of little Henry......

"By the way, in the name of the Gerante family, a warning to those who are not very stable. Is this Noah's kingdom messy...... The rotten man thought his plan was secretive and proper, but he didn't even know why Henry would turn a blind eye to him. ”

Sir Silver grinned and smiled kindly, "I promised them that I would not directly interfere in the internal affairs of the royal family and nobles......

"You know, I've always been a man of words."
