"It's better to turn your back to the castle. It is an integral part of the Green family." Rhett said after thinking for a while.

"You have good taste. It is indeed more solemn and ceremonial." The man in white hat praised.

"You are more professional. When should we gather?"

"Afternoon is more suitable, when the sun is bright and clear."

"Okay, I'll listen to you and wait until the afternoon to start painting."

When the two returned to Dark Rock Castle, the table was filled with all kinds of desserts. Sveta pulled open the main seat for Lei and said, "Master, please take a seat."

Rhett was in no hurry to take a seat. With a smile on his face, he clapped his hands towards everyone. The crisp sound of high fives echoed in the spacious hall, attracting everyone's attention.

He glanced at the white hat, then at the people at the table, and said, "I have good news to announce. After a pleasant exchange, the famous painter and magician next to me decided to join Dark Eagle City and fight for our common goal!

Let us welcome our newest members - the White Hats!"

Snap Snap Snap

Ruilai took the lead in applauding, his eyes shining, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, my respected white hat mentor, welcome to join us. The epic painting of Dark Eagle City is even more brilliant because of you!"

"Wow, this is so unexpected!" Ola also covered her mouth, not daring to believe it. After thinking for a while, she also opened her mouth to congratulate.

"Thank you, everyone." White Hat smiled, glanced at the paintings hanging on the wall, and praised: "These paintings hanging on the wall are all wonderful. Ruilai's growth is obvious!"

"Thanks to the guidance of the white hat mentor, it was of great help to me." Ruilai replied modestly.

"Personal efforts are more important. Take Ola for example. He is always half-hearted when it comes to painting. Sometimes he is absent-minded when sketching. If he continues like this, I think it will be difficult for him to achieve the same success as your mother." The man in white hat changed the subject and blamed Ola.

"Humph, I'm never as good as my mother!" Aura pouted proudly and said indifferently. Then she looked at Rhett and asked, "Marquis Rhett, I heard that you plan to transfer Lawrence back, right?"

"That's true." Lei Te said casually, "I've finished my training at the Fire Mine. It's time for me to come back and play a bigger role."

"Thank you, your decision is very wise!" Ola's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she was proud that her Lawrence was highly valued by Marquis Rhett.

Leiter glanced at Aura. It was surprising that the elegant girl was in love. But he did not transfer Lawrence back to let the two of them have a love affair. The real purpose was actually only one - to take Lawrence with him to the cold front line for training.

Flowers grown in a greenhouse, no matter how precious they are, will be vulnerable to heavy rain. A genius must always go through many hardships to grow up more stable and solid.

When Lawrence returned to the Canyon Defense Line five years ago, he was too weak to be taken with him. But now Lawrence has acquired a certain level of strength, like a rough diamond, and this trip to the Cold Current Defense Line is a good opportunity to train him!

Then, the Green family chatted with the white hat for a while, until they had lunch together, took a short break, and then came to the front of the castle, and followed the arrangement of the white hat, standing in two rows, each posing in different postures, such as scissors hands, heart shape, single finger, tilted head and smile, etc.

Except for the children, most of these people are extraordinary people, so it is easier for them to stand. The children are also surrounded by the wind element, and their limbs are light, which greatly reduces the difficulty of maintaining a long posture. Under the bright sunshine, after two hours, the solemn face of the man in the white hat relaxed. He took the pen and tapped the drawing board a few times, then breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Thanks to everyone's cooperation, this painting has been completed."

"call!"

The Green family members relaxed at once and dispersed, especially Dick, Kazena, Tracy and other third-generation members, who ran to the grass, huddled together, and played happily, just like carefree puppies in the sun.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. White Hat." Rhett walked forward with a smile and came to White Hat's side.

"You're welcome, Marquis Rhett. It's an honor to paint for the Green family. Perhaps this painting will be engraved in history with you, and I will also leave my name there!" said the man in the white hat happily.

Lei Te smiled and looked at the painting on the drawing board. A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes. He praised: "It's so beautiful. I have never seen such a magical painting skill in other people's hands. Although the colors are not completely consistent, in addition to the colors, the outlines, details, rendering, etc. can actually replicate the scene one-to-one, and it also contains some indescribable meaning... It's really amazing! Is this really something that a painting can do?"

Hearing this praise, the other members of the Green family also gathered around, took a look, and exclaimed in amazement one after another!

"Wow, why do I feel like there is also a world in this painting?"

"Yes, it's like... there's another space hidden inside."

“Exquisite!”

“Incredible…”

Everyone else was immersed in appreciating the painting. As an enthusiast, Ruilai's eyes lit up and he shook his head in admiration: "Mr. White Hat, when will I be able to master such painting skills!"

The man in white hat stroked his beard, glanced at Ruilai, and said with a smile: "In fact...anyone who is a water magician can reach this level!"

Lei Te's heart moved, and he cast a curious look and asked, "Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Well... it was originally a secret that I kept in my heart, but it doesn't hurt to tell you now." The man in the white hat said mysteriously, "My Lord, you have a high level of experience and should know something about the mysteries. Do you know what kinds of water mysteries there are?"

"Well, the water mysteries seem to have the most, there seem to be seven." Lei Te said thoughtfully: "But what does this have to do with painting?"

"There should be a little bit..." White Hat said, "Although I don't know what all the mysteries of water are, I seem to have touched a hint of the embryonic form of the mystery."

"What? Mr. White Hat, you actually figured out the secret?!" Rylai was shocked and asked, "But what kind of secret can help you improve your painting skills?"

Hearing this question, White Hat was silent for a while, frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "As expected, I should have realized the mystery of 'mirror image', but I am not sure whether it can improve my painting skills. It should vary from person to person..."

"It depends on the person? Mr. White Hat, can you explain it more clearly?" Rhett's curiosity was aroused and he asked.

And strangely enough, I caught a glimpse of inspiration by chance during the painting process, and realized this mystery by accident. Perhaps for this reason, every time I paint, I can easily use this mysterious power to enhance my painting skills. "

"Mirror images are mysterious and magical..." Ruilai murmured on the side. Although he was completely confused, it did not affect his envy.

"So that's how it is..." Lei Te's eyes flashed with a hint of enlightenment, and he said, "In other words, painting may help us understand the mystery of 'mirror image'?"

"Well, I can't guarantee that. Maybe it was just a coincidence at the beginning." White Hat said with a wry smile.

Leiter didn't delve into it. As a master of three mysteries, he knew he couldn't express it in words. He just said, "Okay, could you please demonstrate the ability of the mirror mysteries to us?"

"Of course there is no problem, but the power I possess is very weak, so I may not be able to see anything magical." White Hat said as he walked towards another open space.

Leiter said casually: "It doesn't matter, I just want to see the mysterious power of 'Mirror Image'."

The man in the white hat walked alone to an open space not far away. After a short pause, he condensed a ball of water element. In an instant, the highly condensed water element changed rapidly, and finally formed a phantom with exactly the same outline as the man in the white hat, causing great surprise among the people around him.

They found that the phantom and the white hat were exactly the same, even down to the details on the face and clothes. The only difference was the color. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the other one was made of water.

"Interesting." Leiter said with interest. The water element figure in front of him looked very strange, but according to his perception, it was just a group of highly condensed water elements, nothing special. He didn't believe that the mysterious power was just that.

Sure enough, the next moment, the action of the water element confirmed Rhett's idea. Under the astonished gaze of everyone, an even more incredible scene appeared.

As the man in white hat raised the magic wand and pointed lightly, the water element also raised his hand to cast magic. The next moment, two water arrows were shot out at the same time, cutting through the air, leaving a trail of water mist, and hitting two small stones not far away.

It exploded into pieces with a snap.

This was beyond Lei Te's expectations. His pupils suddenly shrank. What happened just now? Was it a double cast?

Although he had read the mystical manual left by Mozaxi, the explanation of the mirror mystery was one of the few mystical mysteries that was not explained in detail. He said that even in history, there were very few people who could comprehend the mirror mystery.

Lei Te was very curious and was about to continue asking questions when he saw the figure condensed by the water element disappear. The white hat said at this time: "I can only do this much. Casting a water arrow is the limit of my ability."

"Thank you. The scene just now was so magical. I have never heard of such an interesting mystery." Rhett clapped his hands lightly.

The others followed suit and burst into applause. They were also amazed by this novel demonstration! "Can you explain it to me briefly?" Leiter asked with a smile.

"No problem." White Hat pondered for a moment and said, "The mystery of mirror is like another essential power of the water element - water is everywhere. After realizing this mystery, my affinity with water has reached an unparalleled level. Therefore, through the water element, everything in the world has a different view in my eyes.

The appearance I just condensed into was just a little trick. In fact, I can condense into any appearance, and these are not the main powers of the mirror mystery, but can only be said to be a small auxiliary ability.

The real mystery of the mirror image is that when I use my mental power to cast magic and move the elemental trajectory, the surrounding water elements will be mobilized along with it. In other words, with the same mental power, I can more easily control more water elements and cast multiple magics. "

So that's how it is. The so-called mirror image is actually to mobilize more water elements to do the same action... Lei Te roughly understood it. The mysterious ability of the mirror image is almost the same as multiple casting, but... it is limited to water magic. He nodded and said, "It's much easier to understand if you put it this way."

Ruilai smiled and looked at the man in the white hat and said, "In that case, I will learn more about painting from you in the future. Maybe one day I will also be able to comprehend the mystery of mirror images!"

"You are welcome at any time. Master Ruilai is very talented. Maybe there is hope!" The man in the white hat smiled gently.

"Sveta, put this painting away, frame it, and place it above the fireplace in the lobby on the fifth floor!" Rhett shouted to Sveta, who was being played with by a few children not far away.

"I understand, sir!" The corner of Sveta's clothes was twisted by Dick, but she still had a kind face and raised her head to respond.

Then he lowered his head to Dick and said, "Master Dick, Master Carres, Miss Tracy..., I have to get down to business."

After saying this, he raised his foot and broke free from the group of children. He took just two steps before he cried out in surprise:

"Oh, Kares, don't step on my shoes!"

"Kazena, don't spit on your clothes!"

"Dick?! The disobedient child will be eaten by the big bad wolf..."

“.”

A few minutes later.

Seeing that Sveta hadn't come over yet, Leiter glanced at the situation over there, then looked at Rayleigh helplessly and said, "It looks like our butler is in some trouble. Carles and Kazena are the most troubled. Rayleigh, go over and help him."

The corners of Ruilai's mouth twitched, and he sighed, "I understand, Father, these are really a group of troublesome children..."

Lei Te touched his chin, looked at Rui Lai's back as he left, and murmured with a smile: "Who doesn't come here like this? Including you..."

The mild spring weather makes time silent and a month passes quietly.

On the endless plain, a group of people were traveling on the land. There were about twenty of them, all wearing silver armor, well-trained, with solemn faces, shining in the sunlight, and neatly lined up in two columns.

The flag flying in the team was engraved with an ancient pattern, which was the exclusive mark of the Brian family.

At the front row of the team, Count Nero was in the center, wearing red light armor, holding the reins in one hand, with his legs lightly clamped on the horse's belly, and looking far ahead.
