Views:

If it were you, how would you feel if you saw a living human face in front of you? Maybe you will say, what is that

But if this person's face is not on someone's head, but a whole face, placed on the table in front of you - there is only one face! No head, no body, not even hair!

Oh my God! It's like a mask of a human face, a mask of human skin! But it is not! ! !

Even a courageous guy like Roddy almost screamed out in fright. The reason is: this thing looks like a human face mask - in fact, it is more like a human face. In the box - the most important thing is that Roddy clearly saw that this face was actually alive! !

He, no, should say "it"! It was actually still smiling at Roddy! What made Roddy almost faint was that when he saw Roddy's frightened expression, it actually blinked at Roddy and made a face!

Look at Roddy, the boss with a long mouth, enough to fit into a fist. There was a trace of mockery in Nicole's eyes, and she sneered: "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Rody let out a long breath, but couldn't help but take a step back, and then exclaimed in a low voice: "What... is this thing?? God, why is it... alive??!!"

Nicole sarcastically said: "Are you afraid? Aren't you quite courageous?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her two hands, gently pinched both sides of "the face" in the box, and actually lifted it up.

What made Roddy almost faint was that, probably because he was pinched very painfully by Nicole, there was actually a trace of pain on his face.

Rody's eyes widened and he didn't dare to say anything, looking straight at the object in Nicole's hand.

It seems to be transparent. Although the color is not much different from human skin, it is very shiny. Whether it's a person's eyes, nose or other facial features, they are all very real.

"This is a priceless treasure of the family! Unfortunately, it is not of much use - this treasure was passed down from the first generation ancestor of the Tulip family, the founding marshal of the empire, Duke Rudolf!" Nicole gently squared the face. He held it carefully in his palm.

"Then... what on earth is this?"

"A mask! A magical mask with its own life!" Nicole said softly.

"Magic?" Roddy exclaimed loudly!

You know, in the empire, magic is popular! In fact, as early as hundreds of years ago, spells and magic were very popular on the continent of the Empire. But two hundred years ago, a great figure like the sage Dandong emerged among the sorcerers. Dandong was not only a great warlock himself, but also a great inventor! He improved and created many spells and made them popular. The upper echelons of the empire also supported Dandong very much. Both in terms of propaganda and strategy, they focused more on spells. After two hundred years, the warlocks of the empire can be said to be It is unprecedentedly grand and powerful, but the magic culture is gradually declining.

Today, there are not many magicians left 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 an artifact left over from ancient times. Did you know? This mask is made of human skin from the elves!"

"Elf human skin?"

You know, today, the elves are already a historical place. Thousands of years ago, those strange creatures were already extinct. Now, no matter in the empire or in the Roland continent in the north, such strange creatures can no longer be seen.

"It's made of human skin! Can it be said to be an artifact? It's too evil!" Rody exclaimed.

"No! Although this thing is made of human skin, it is not an evil product! It was a famous great magician in the history of the elves who, for his devout beliefs, used the skin on his face before he died. The skin was made into this magical product! This devout believer in God named this magic mask 'God's Smile'. It is said that the great magician of the elves was six hundred years old when he died. His magic has reached an unfathomable level!"

Nicole's delicate voice told the history of this object. Roddy didn't say anything, but secretly muttered in his heart: Oh my God, the skin peeled off the face of an old guy who is more than 600 years old is very interesting. What? I don't want to touch this kind of thing!

Nicole saw a strange expression on Roddy's face. Although he didn't speak, she could guess at least 70% of his thoughts from his face, and then said calmly: "The elves are one of the most magical races in the world. This mask Although it was made of human skin, the great magician's body was close to crystallization before he died. Therefore, instead of saying that this mask is made of human skin, it is more appropriate to say that it is a magic crystal. "

"Wait a minute..." Rody's heart suddenly moved: "You..." As soon as he said the word "you" in his mouth, he saw Nicole's eyes widen. He was so frightened that Rody quickly shrank his head and changed his words: "Master." ... Man... why did you show me this thing? If it is so precious... what does it have to do with me?"

A smile appeared on Nicole's face - in Roddy's eyes, it was simply a smile like a weasel seeing a chicken.

"The reason why the 'Smile of God' was called an artifact was because of its original magic. Unfortunately, the great magician died shortly after it was made. Many of its magical uses have not been passed down to this day, but according to reports The two known uses are already very wonderful: first, the person who wears it can change his appearance, just like a chameleon, he can change into the appearance of anyone he has seen, or the appearance of anyone he has imagined. any look!”

"This is quite interesting..." Rody looked curious.

Nicole smiled calmly and said: "But that is only one use of this mask, and I am more interested in another use: after a magician places a ban on this mask, the mask will become this magic A specific face that the teacher wants, and then, when this mask is put on anyone's face, that person's face will become that specific face... And..." Nicole's voice gradually revealed a bit of mockery: "Only that one Only a magician can take off the mask. If the magician doesn't take it off, that person will wear that mask for the rest of his life! "

Roddy heard the profound meaning of Nicole's words, subconsciously took a few steps back, and said loudly: "You... you... do you want me to... wear this thing?"

Nicole smiled slightly, her eyes flashed, and she walked up step by step. She touched the 'God's Smile' in her hand, smiled meaningfully, and said slowly: "When you attacked me that day, your companions once said that I was A warlock, I said he was wrong, I am not a warlock! Today I tell you, I am actually a... magician!"
