Chapter 231: Ascending Monkey Mountain (1)
“The divine artifact our clan guards is called the ‘Heart-Reflecting Mirror’. It’s a palm-sized mirror. I’ll draw it for you,” said Elder Ming Guang as he took out paper and brush to sketch the artifact.
Zhanyue and Yunyao received the drawing. It depicted a small crystal mirror, only palm-sized, with a handle attached below. It looked no different from the mirrors women carry for touch-ups.
“Chief, does the mirror have any magical properties?” Zhanyue asked.
Chief Ming Guang sighed and said, “It’s said to be one of the seven divine artifacts, but over all these years, we haven’t found anything special about it. Just… just that things reflected in it seem a bit clearer, that’s all.”
Zhanyue and Yunyao exchanged glances, thinking it was indeed as they expected. The so-called Sword of Courage had also been like scrap metal. The seven divine artifacts were merely seven clues to defeating the seven Disaster Beasts.
“Nothing special? Then can we make a replica?” Zhanyue asked again.
“Well…” The old chief walked to the bedside and pulled out a dust-covered box from underneath. Opening it revealed several mirrors inside.
“I almost forgot about these. Long ago, our clan had some Earth Spirit Clan craftsmen make a few identical mirrors. My predecessors took these replicas to travel, hoping to find information about how to use this mirror from the outside world. These mirrors are almost identical to the divine artifact,” Chief Ming Guang said. He realized he didn’t need to draw earlier if he had remembered these mirrors. He was indeed getting forgetful in his old age.
“So this is what the divine artifact looks like.” Zhanyue picked up one of the mirrors. “I plan to use this as bait to see if we can retrieve the real divine artifact.”
