Chapter 505 Polychromatic Mirror
Chapter 505 Polychromatic Mirror
Jonathan looked at Esmeray and her sisters, his eyes filled with confusion.
Esmeray then asked, "Is it true that the person you've offended is from the lineage of Narma?"
Jonathan nodded, saying, "That's right."
Esmeray's expression subtly changed. Seeing this, Jonathan realized that offending the lineage of Narma was not something anyone would simply do. He said, "I must take my leave!"
He never intended to get entangled with Esmeray and her group in the first place. Therefore, there was absolutely no need for Esmeray and her group to worry about whether they would be implicated because of him.
However, at this moment, Esmeray called out to Jonathan again. She said, "Sir, please hear me out."
Jonathan looked at Esmeray with a hint of curiosity.
Esmeray's face showed a considerable struggle, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, Narma has a priceless magic treasure, Heavenly Compass. With the compass in hand, Master will know with a single calculation no matter where you flee. I fear that your hurried departure will still not escape Master's eyes."
A chill ran through Jonathan's heart as he heard that. So it turns out that the reason I've been caught by Theos time and again is because I was found by Heavenly Compass.
This made Jonathan a bit frustrated with Moranta. The five elemental energy here pervaded the
heavens and the earth, like endless information scattered everywhere. Therefore, doing anything here was even less private than the d*mn internet in real society.
Jonathan then said to Esmeray, "I'm aware of the power of Heavenly Compass, so I won't keep you ladies any longer. Please understand!" After saying this, he hurriedly made to leave.
Esmeray immediately said, "Sir, although Heavenly Compass is powerful, our palace leader possesses a treasure that can hide from prying eyes. You have shown great kindness to Moon Shadow Palace, so please go back to the palace with us. I will report truthfully to the palace leader and ask her to bestow the treasure upon you!"
Jonathan's eyes lit up, what a pleasant surprise this was! If such a treasure really existed, his situation would be much better.
He found himself unable to refuse Esmeray's request, and so he said, "My aid today was trivial, hardly worth mentioning. However, if your esteemed palace leader truly has a treasure that can hide from prying eyes to offer that can save my life, I won't stand on ceremony."
Esmeray laughed and said, "Well then, young master, please come with us!"
Jonathan said, "Alright!" Immediately, he followed behind the four ladies heading westward.
Everyone was flying through the sky, and the four women's clothes were fluttering. Under the sunlight, they truly appeared as ethereal as fairies.
Jonathan flew side by side with them.
The four girls had a certain fondness for Jonathan. Although Jonathan wasn't as handsome as the young man in white, he exuded a warmth and vitality that felt like basking in the spring breeze.
Moreover, Jonathan's character is worlds apart from that of the young man in white.
"Sir, Narma's faction holds a high reputation within Pollerton, and they have never been known to oppress others. How did you manage to make enemies with them?" Stella couldn't help but ask.
This was also what the other women were curious about.
With a bitter smile, Jonathan said, "It's a long story, and I have too many enemies. I was forced to destroy some shops in Lerton when I was at my wit's end and took the opportunity to escape in the chaos. But this broke the rules set by Narma." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Looking back, Jonathan really was a magnet for trouble!
In the main world, he had managed to offend just about everyone. Now, in Moranta, he managed to upset both Lynn and Narma in just over a month. These were two heavy-weight characters!
Finally, Esmeray and the others understood.
Waverly Yanez, the third sister, immediately asked again, "Who is Sir's other formidable opponent? If the person could force someone of Sir's caliber into a desperate situation, he or she must be a strong opponent, right?"
With a bitter smile, Jonathan said again, "That's Theos of Supreme Sect."
The four women couldn't help but gasp in surprise. The people this guy has offended are each more formidable than the last!
Jonathan spoke so openly on purpose. He didn't want them to help him without knowing the full story.
At the very least, they should know that helping me comes with significant risks.
Although the four women knew that the people Jonathan had offended were formidable, they didn't say much.
Flying all the way, they suddenly became somewhat silent.
So Jonathan stopped initiating conversation.
He was a person with a strong sense of self-esteem.
Soon after, Esmeray turned to Jonathan with a charming smile and said, "Sir, we are not far now. Do you see that island ahead? That's Moon Shadow Palace."
Jonathan gave a slight smile and said, "If I were to go as I am, I'm afraid I might disturb the palace leader's peace."
Esmeray said, "Please, Sir, don't say such things. If it weren't for your help today, my sisters and I might have been disgraced by that scoundrel. Even the treasure of our palace would have been stolen. You are our great benefactor!"
Stella suddenly laughed from the side, saying, "We've been talking for so long, yet we still don't know Sir's name."
Jonathan took the initiative and said, "My name is Jonathan Lawson."
"So it's Mr. Lawson!" Stella said with a charming smile, then she introduced herself.
Subsequently, Esmeray and the others also introduced themselves too.
In the midst of their conversation, everyone had already flown to the island.
Esmeray led everyone and landed on the island.
Jonathan could see that this island was picturesque, with beautiful scenery everywhere.
The sunlight shone brightly, accompanied by a gentle sea breeze. Taking a deep breath, the air was filled with the salty, damp scent of the sea.
Up ahead, it was just like paradise, with peach blossoms in full bloom. If those in love were to come to such a place, it would be indescribably wonderful.
Esmeray didn't dare to delay Jonathan's matters. She said to him, "Please wait a moment, Sir. I will go and inform the palace master right away." Then she turned to Stella and said, "Please keep Mr. Lawson company here."
Stella and others responded positively.
Jonathan was utterly charmed by Esmeray calling him 'Sir' again and again. If it weren't for the fear of the sudden arrival of Lynn, and how the lives of Yeverie and the others were in danger, he would really want to stay in this place for a few more days.
What could be more thrilling for a man than to revel amidst so many beauties?
After Esmeray entered the peach blossom grove, Jonathan waited for about five minutes.
In these five minutes, Jonathan felt as if each second was stretching into an eternity. He was genuinely terrified that a streak of light would suddenly shoot across the sky, and that Lynn would appear before his very eyes.
So, during these five minutes, Jonathan didn't remember a single word of whatever Stella and the others said to him. He was absolutely distracted.
Five minutes later, Esmeray arrived. She came in a hurry and as soon as she reached Jonathan, she said, "Mr. Lawson, this is the magic item that can deceive Heavenly Compass!" As she spoke, she took out an object.
Looking over, Jonathan saw that Esmeray was holding a copper mirror the size of a palm. It seemed ordinary, with no discernible differences. He was slightly puzzled, but still reached out to take it, saying, "Please thank your palace leader."
Esmeray said, "Sir, don't underestimate this bronze mirror. It's called Polychromatic Mirror. As long as you channel your mana into this mirror, it can conceal everything around you."
Jonathan immediately understood. It seemed that this Polychromatic Mirror had a function similar to
duplication. For instance, if there was nothing around, it could replicate that emptiness onto itself. As a result, nothing could be seen within Heavenly Compass. It was truly a remarkable item!
Such a treasure, it was certainly not an ordinary item!
Jonathan couldn't help but feel excited. He immediately began to explore Polychromatic Mirror with his chaotic energy.
Immediately, Jonathan understood the structure of this mirror. Indeed, there was a marvelous array within it. Moreover, the mirror's surface was made from a special meteorite from outer space. This type of meteorite was rich in materials, containing unique minerals. It was precisely because of these unique minerals that it could replicate everything in its surroundings.
Jonathan immediately realized another function of Polychromatic Mirror — it could also duplicate people.
However, a clone was merely a mirror image without any substantial function.
However, cloning a person was quite a hassle. It required fusion with the mineral substance of Polychromatic Mirror, only then could the cloning effect be achieved.
It was a coincidence that Jonathan's chaotic energy faced no obstacles. He was not afraid that this peculiar mineral would fail to merge!
With that, Jonathan quickly took control of Polychromatic Mirror and then activated it.
And so, at that moment, the location where Jonathan was standing was successfully replicated by
Polychromatic Mirror!
With this, even Heavenly Compass of Narma would be unable to locate Jonathan.
At this point, Jonathan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The oppressive feeling that had been closely following him finally disappeared.
Even so, Jonathan still felt it was not advisable to stay in Moon Shadow Palace for too long. After all, his arrival here would have left traces in Heavenly Compass.
The venerable Narma probably knew about Polychromatic Mirror in Moon Shadow Palace. If he were to track it down, I would still be in great danger. It is even likely that Moon Shadow Palace would be implicated as well.
At that moment, Jonathan said to Esmeray, "The magic item from your palace leader has indeed done a great favor in saving my life. I should have thanked her in person, but at the moment, I'm worried that Narma and Lynn might follow the traces from before and track me down, so I think it's best to take my leave first. Once I'm sure that I'm safe, I will definitely come back to thank the palace leader in person!"
Esmeray was slightly taken aback, but she quickly understood Jonathan's concerns. She said, "Master Chen, you can go with peace of mind. The palace leader has already explained to me that Polychromatic Mirror is just a small gift. We will repay you in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned to the four women, bowed with his fist in his palm, and said, "With that, I shall take my leave!"
The four women understood the gravity of the situation. Despite their reluctance, they all bowed together and said, "Safe journey, Mr. Lawson!"
Right then, Jonathan turned around, ready to leave.
Esmeray suddenly said, "Mr. Lawson, you should know that our palace's treasure is in that storage ring. Aren't you the least bit curious about what the treasure actually is?"
Jonathan was slightly taken aback, then he smiled and said, "I know it must be something good, but I'd rather not know. Because I'm afraid knowing might stir up my greed!"
Esmeray laughed heartily and said, "You truly are an extraordinary man!"
Jonathan laughed too. "If I can resolve the current grudges, I will definitely come to Moon Shadow Palace to have a good chat with all the ladies. I must take my leave now!"
After he finished speaking, he stepped into the void and left.
He truly resembled a modern-day immortal with such grand declarations, coupled with his departure into the sky.
