Pirate: I can copy your ability

On Long-Legs Island, Annie was walking alone on the prosperous streets, with a smile on her lips and her silver-white hair shining in the sun and swaying in the wind.

She is relaxed at heart and naturally does things with ease.

Anne's visit to the island in this way was not all because of novelty. What she still had to do was to get to know and understand this place.

Then record what you saw and thought, organize it, and report it to the revolutionary army for future needs.

……

In the central area of ​​the town, Lu Gui and the other three also arrived at the auction.

The place is not big. It is smaller than the one that was destroyed before on Huludao. It can barely accommodate 200 people.

Even so, when Lu Gui and the others entered, they found that one-third of the space was still empty.

Seeing this, Qiao shook his head and said helplessly:

"It seems our trip was in vain. It's hard to find anything good in such a small place."

"It's a bit deserted, but we're also here early. Didn't you mention the ticket seller just now? It's still half an hour before the auction starts."

Buck smiled, and the three of them found their seats and sat down according to the ticket numbers in their hands. It was in the middle area near the front.

"Buck is right. Don't worry, no one has stipulated that small places cannot have good things.

Maybe after you start, you can meet what you want, you don’t know. "

"I hope so."

The three of them just sat here, chatting and waiting. It was said that it was half an hour, but in fact it was only 10 minutes before the auction started.

The vacant seats in the venue were still not filled.

At this time, a middle-aged man, wearing a decent suit, walked to the platform in front of the venue and stood with a smile, and then began to introduce himself.

There was nothing much to say at the beginning, and soon the first auction item was brought up.

Lu Gui looked around and found an ancient bronze mirror with complex textures carved on it.

Because of the passage of time and lack of maintenance, part of the mirror is covered with a layer of green patina.

Lu Gui stared at the bronze mirror with surprise in his eyes, because just now, the fruit of the Eye Technique was working, and he noticed something unusual on the mirror.

Buck on the side also reminded him:

"Captain, with my knowledge, I sensed that there was a malicious aura on that mirror."

"Malicious intent toward whom?"

Qiao came over and asked curiously.

"There is no clear target. This malice is not directed at any one person and I don't understand why."

Buck frowned and took a closer look, but still found nothing else.

"I also saw the difference in this mirror. I took a photo first and then studied it slowly when I returned to the boat."

After Lu Gui finished speaking, the host on the stage also began to introduce the bronze mirror.

"Dear guests, the bronze mirror I have in my hand was dug out of a treasure chest found in the sea.

The shape is beautiful and well-preserved. Although it has some rust, it is also of great collection value.

I'm not lying to you. Here is a supporting document, which is the appraisal report of this bronze mirror.

It comes from the Cultural Relics Appraisal Center of the Kingdom of Abalakir, and its authoritativeness cannot be overemphasized, so everyone can rest assured.

The report clearly stated that the bronze mirror has a history of 500 years. Judging from the lines on it, it is likely to come from the vanished ancient country of Mulan.

It was a country full of mystery. Legend has it that the palaces in the capital were all made of gold.

Unfortunately, this country suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons, and there was no trace of its people or property.

Everyone, maybe you can find clues to the ancient country of Mulan on this bronze mirror.

Even if you can't find it, putting it in the collection room is still a rare good thing.

The bidding begins now, with a starting price of 500 million beli, and each increase in price shall not be less than [-] beli. "

As the host finished speaking, the audience fell silent, and no one was the first to bid.

The host was a little embarrassed. The people who came to the venue this time did not seem to be easy to fool.

He didn't lie. The bronze mirror did have a history of 500 years, but it was uncertain whether it was from the ancient country of Mulan.

This is a common method used at auctions to increase the historical value of an item in order to increase its price.

Besides, cultural relics from the ancient Mulan Kingdom have been auctioned before, but it turned out that only one out of ten items was authentic.

Therefore, there are people who are interested in such an ordinary bronze mirror, but they are not able to accept the price of 500 million beli.

"No one wants to take action?"

The host asked helplessly.

This item has already passed two auctions, and since we still can’t find a buyer, it will sit in a warehouse and gather dust.

"510 Baileys."

Lu Gui's voice rang out, shocking the host's spirit.

"This gentleman has good taste. Is there anyone who wants to bid? 510 million beli at a time!"

The other buyers in the audience were hesitant, but ultimately did not bid. In the end, Lu Gui successfully bought the item.

Even though he got the things, Lu Gui still felt a little regretful.

I used to read a novel in which the protagonist wanted to buy something at an auction, but he would always encounter unscrupulous people who would come to find trouble and raise the price so that the protagonist could not buy it.

He has also experienced two auctions, but he has never met anyone who gives away money and experience like this.

The auction was still going on, and there was nothing that Qiao could see behind the bronze mirror.

In this way, until the end of the auction, Lu Gui and the others only bought the original bronze mirror.

After getting the things, the three of them left here together.

While walking on the road, Lu Gui held a bronze mirror in his hand and stroked the surface of the mirror with his fingers, feeling a chill flow into his body from his fingertips.

Lu Gui's appearance was printed in the mirror, which was very blurry and hard to see clearly.

And when he used his pupil technique to look carefully again.The self in the mirror disappeared, and a black twisted figure appeared inside.

A huge building complex appeared behind the black shadow, with magnificent scenes everywhere.

This unknown method shocked Lu Gui.

When he wanted to take a closer look at the things inside, those pictures all disappeared again, as if they were all Lu Gui's hallucinations before.

But he knew that there was something in the bronze mirror, something that he couldn't understand. The street was not the place to study, so Lu Gui was ready to return to the ship.

"You go on shopping and buy some books about the ancient country of Mulan."

"What did the captain discover? Is this mirror really something that came out of the ancient country of Mulan?"

“We are not sure yet, we have never heard of this ancient Mulan country before.

I saw some things from the ancient mirror, but I am not sure whether they are related to the ancient country of Mulan. I need to confirm it through the records in the books. "

Lu Gui explained that most of the time on the road was boring, and he wanted to find something to do for himself.

"Well, brother Lu Gui, please go back first, and leave the rest to me and Buck.

There is no need to leave food for us, we will take care of it ourselves in the city at noon.

How's it going, Buck? "

"Okay, let's go then."

Buck nodded in agreement, and after the two said goodbye to Lu Gui, they continued to wander around the city.

Lu Gui took the bronze mirror and quickly returned to the ship. After saying hello to Beilu and the others, he returned to his room, closed the door and started studying.

The bronze mirror is not big, less than twenty centimeters in diameter.One side is smooth and attractive, and the other side is carved with complicated patterns.

Although it is rusty, the pattern gives people a graceful and majestic feeling.Lu Gui observed carefully for a long time and felt that these patterns looked like the sun in the sky.

Other than that, he had no idea.

He turned the mirror to himself again, and the clover appeared and turned in his eyes. The twisted black shadow and the buildings behind him appeared in the mirror again.

Lu Gui concentrated his attention, and the speed of the clover's rotation accelerated a lot. The outline of the black shadow became clearer and clearer, and he could already tell that the other party was a young man.

And the building behind the black shadow, the huge golden city wall, became more and more real.

There are pictures carved on the wall, with people and scenes. The same thing is that there is a huge sun in the background.

Time passed little by little, and after Lu Gui's efforts, he finally saw the shadow clearly, but the result was unacceptable to him.

Because the black shadow had the same face as him.It's just that his face is much gloomier, and his eyes are fierce.

Suddenly, receiving such an impact made Lu Gui's heart beat wildly, and he inadvertently stopped using the pupil technique.

This caused the things he saw in his eyes to disappear suddenly. The bronze mirror was still the same as it was before, but he inside seemed to be frightened.

Then Lu Gui put the mirror on the table, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow. Using pupil power for a long time took more energy than using other fruit abilities.

Coupled with the last scare, his spirit was quite tired.

As a result, Lu Gui had to give up his plan to look at it again. He could only continue his research after his energy recovered.

He stood up from the chair and was going to go to the library on the ship to look for any records about bronze mirrors or descriptions of the ancient country of Mulan.

And shortly after Lu Gui left, the bronze mirror placed on the table suddenly flashed with a burst of black light, and a shadow as black as ink crawled out from it.

At first, it was only about the size of a hand. After stretching its body a few times, its size quickly grew to the size of a tabletop.

However, its body was not very thick, and it slid down against the table like a shadow, wandering around Lu Gui's room.

But it seemed that he couldn't get far away from the bronze mirror. He turned around in a circle outside, his movements were twisted and weird, as if he was struggling and roaring, and then he returned to the bronze mirror without being noticed by anyone.

At this time, Lu Gui found no books recording the ancient country of Mulan in the library on the ship.

Instead, I found a book about mirrors on the fairy tale bookshelf.

Various stories related to mirrors are recorded above.With nothing to do, Lu Gui also started reading.

Don't tell me, it's quite interesting.

There wasn't much of a story, and it didn't take long for Lu Gui to finish reading it. At this time, Mark's voice came from outside, calling him to go out for dinner.

So Lu Gui put down his book and walked out of the room.He still didn't know what had happened to the bronze mirror in his bedroom, the thing he took aboard, and he didn't know whether it would bring any losses to the fleet in the end.

After lunch, Lu Gui slept for a while under the umbrella on the deck to replenish his energy. Not long after waking up, Buck and the others came back with a few books in their arms.
