Chapter Ten [Nicole's Secret]
If it were you, what would you feel when you saw a living face in front of you? Maybe you would say, what is that?
But if this person's face does not grow on someone's head, but on the whole face, placed on the table in front of you - only one face! No head, no body, and even no hair!
Oh my God! It's like a mask with a human face and a mask with a human skin! But it's not!!!
Even Roddy, a guy with a very courageous spirit, almost screamed out in fear. The reason was: this thing that looked like a mask on a human face - in fact, it was more like a human face exposed in a box - the most important thing is that Roddy clearly saw that this face was actually alive!!
He, no, it should be said to be "it"! It was still smiling at Roddy! What made Roddy almost faint was that when he saw Roddy's expression full of horror, it actually blinked at Roddy and made a face!
Looking at the boss with his mouth long enough to stuff a fist into Roddy Nicole's eyes, she sneered, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Roddy let out a long breath, but couldn't help but take a step back, and then exclaimed in a low voice: "What... is this? God, why... is it... alive??!!"
Nicole sarcastically said, "Are you scared? Are you very brave?"
She said as she stretched out her hands and gently pinched the sides of the "face" in the box, and actually lifted it up.
What almost made Roddy faint was probably because Nicole pinched it so much - there was a hint of pain on that face.
Roddy widened her eyes and did not dare to let out a breath, and looked straight at the object in Nicole's hand.
It looks transparent. Although the color is not much different from that of human skin, it is very shiny. Whether it is the eyes, nose, or other facial features, it is very real.
"This is a priceless treasure of the family! Unfortunately, it is not very useful - this treasure was passed down from the first ancestor of the Tulip family, namely Duke Rudolph, the founding marshal of the Empire!" Nicole gently squared the face in his palm and held it carefully.
"Then...what the hell is this?"
"A mask! A magic mask with his own life!" Nicole said softly.
"Magic?" Roddy exclaimed loudly!
You should know that in the empire, magic is popular! In fact, as early as hundreds of years ago, magic and magic were very popular on the continent of the empire. However, two hundred years ago, a great figure like Dandong sage appeared among the warlocks. Dandong was not only a great warlock, but also a great inventor! He improved and created many magic tricks and promoted magic tricks. The upper class of the empire also supported Dandong very much. Both in propaganda and strategy, he focused on magic tricks. After two hundred years, the empire's warlocks can be said to be unprecedentedly grand and powerful, but the magic culture gradually declined.
Today, there are no more magicians in the entire empire.
Only in the north of the empire, on the Roland Continent across the Thunder Strait, is the place where magic culture flourishes!
"This is indeed a magical treasure, and it is a magical artifact left by ancient times. Do you know? This mask is made of the human skin of the elves!"
"The human skin of the elves?"
You know, by today, the elves have become a historical ranking. Thousands of years ago, that strange creature had already been extinct. Now, no matter in the empire or in the Roland Continent in the north, there is no longer any strange creature.
"What is made of human skin! Can it still be called a magical tool? It's so evil!" Roddy exclaimed.
"No! Although this thing is made of human skin, it is not an evil product! It is a famous great magician in the history of the elves. For his pious faith, he created this magic product with the skin on his face before he died! This devout god believer named this magic mask 'God's Smile'. It is said that the great magician of the elves was already six hundred years old when he died, and his magic had reached an unfathomable level!"
Nicole's delicate voice tells the history of this object. Roddy didn't say it, but he muttered to himself: Oh my God, is the skin peeled off from the face of an old guy over 600 years old, very interesting? I don't want to touch such things!
Nicole saw Roddy's face strange expression. Although she didn't say anything, she could guess seven or eight out of his thoughts from his face, and then said lightly: "The Elf Clan is one of the most magical races in the world. Although this mask is made of human skin, the body of the great magician was almost crystallized before his death. Therefore, this mask is more suitable than being made of human skin."
"Wait..." Roddy's heart suddenly moved: "You..." As soon as he said the word "you" in his mouth, he saw Nicole's eyes glaring. Roddy was so scared that she quickly shrank and changed her mind, "Master...man..., why did you show me this thing? If it is really so precious... what does it have to do with me?"
Nicole smiled on her face - in Roddy's eyes, it was like a weasel's smile that saw a chick.
"The reason why the 'God's Smile' was made into a magical artifact is that it had many magical first. Unfortunately, the great magician died shortly after it was made. Many of its magical uses have not been passed down until now. However, according to the two known uses, it is already very wonderful: First, the person who wears it can change his appearance, just like a chameleon, and can change it to the appearance of anyone he has seen, or whatever he imagines!"
"This is quite interesting..." Roddy was curious.
Nicole smiled calmly and said, "But that is only one use of this mask, and I am more interested in another: after a magician has a ban on this mask, the mask will become a specific face that the magician wants. Then, if this mask is brought to anyone's face, the person's face will become that specific face... and..." Nicole's voice gradually showed a bit of mockery: "Only that magician can take off the mask. If the magician does not take off the mask, the person will carry that mask for life! He himself cannot take it down no matter what!"
Roddy heard the profound meaning in Nicole's words, subconsciously took a few steps back, and shouted: "You...you...do you want me... to wear this thing?"
