The Mirror

The laughter of the spirit of the little girl Deborah echoed in the narrow passage, crisp and sweet, but really creepy.

Her bare little feet were more than a foot off the ground, and her fluttering red long skirt swayed in Raymond's sight, revealing her fair calves.

All the way down, the spirit of the little girl Deborah was so familiar with this building that soon after leaving the trading hall of the black market, she left the inherent secret passages between the walls and entered the alleys formed after the collapse of the interior of the building.

The flagstones of about one square meter were collapsed messily, forming gaps just enough for one person to pass between them. The thick and tough plant roots twisted the flagstones of the building into strange shapes.

Sometimes the little girl Deborah leading the way in front would even pass directly through the wall, leaving Raymond staring blankly at the hole the size of a bowl in front of him.

Fortunately, due to the passage of time, most of the underground plant roots here had withered and become fragile. The arm-thick stems, losing moisture for a long time, had lost their original toughness and become extremely fragile.

But even so, Raymond, armed only with a dagger, could only advance very difficultly in such plant roots. He did not know how this castle was built. Following the little girl Deborah to continue deep into the underground, the depth and width of the basement of this building far exceeded the scale of the ground.

Many things in the collapsed rooms were rotten. The wood trapped under stones and mud would turn to dust at the touch of a hand and collapse completely.

After difficult progress in such an environment, Raymond came to a spacious hall two hours later. The air here was already filled with the smell of decay. Deborah, who suddenly accelerated into the collapsed corner of the basement, shouted excitedly, "It's inside this room!"

Looking at the spirit Deborah who instantly disappeared from sight in astonishment, Raymond was frightened by her speed.

In a dozen meters, the body of the little girl Deborah became a residual image, appearing almost instantly at the door of a room. On her turned face was excitement and excitement, and then she disappeared inside.

Compared with the excitement and excitement of the spirit of the little girl Deborah, Raymond frowned, his face full of caution.

Because the temperature in the basement in front of him had dropped somewhat unreasonably, the icy cold made Raymond feel uncomfortable all over.

The circular underground hall of over 1,000 square meters was full of collapsed stones and thick roots protruding from the mud, but the four sides were all square rooms.

Through the dilapidated wooden doors, Raymond saw that it was empty inside. It was estimated to be a warehouse used to store goods in the past.

Raymond, whose eyes flickered with red dots, found under the continuous monitoring of the chip that there was no energy aura or hidden energy field in this hall.

But when he came to the door where the little girl Deborah disappeared, the scene inside made Raymond somewhat astonished.

In the corner of the room full of broken stones and mud, the spirit of the little girl Deborah stood beside the pile of broken stones, her face full of excitement waiting.

Raymond slowly approached the pile of broken stones, squinting. Below the broken stones, he found a small mirror pressed down, the original exquisite frame had rotted, and only half of the mirror surface was left without completely falling off.

But the thick dust covering the floor of the room showed that no one had entered here for many years.

"I can only open the door for a little while," the timid voice showed that the little girl Deborah was also very nervous. She blinked her jet-black eyes and said in a low voice, "This is where my mother told me to hide, but I couldn't get in again after I went out..."

The description of the little girl Deborah was very messy, showing that she was very nervous, but Raymond still roughly understood what happened that year.

When the underground dark creatures attacked, Lady Octavia used a special spell to hide her young daughter Deborah in this mirror.

But the little girl Deborah came out prematurely with the spell, causing her to become a spirit during the battle, and she could not enter the mirror again.

This kind of magic that can create space is extremely rare in the wizarding world. Raymond had only seen it described in books.

It was said that this kind of magic was once widely circulated in the ancient wizarding world. The ancient wizards used this space magic to make portable space devices to store their belongings in, and controlled the things stored inside through simple spells.

Taking a deep breath, Raymond gestured to the spirit of the little girl Deborah, who looked expectantly, not to be impatient.

After activating the monitoring function of the chip, Raymond wiped away the floating dust on the broken mirror, revealing cracks everywhere on the mirror surface. There was no fluctuations of magic or radiation aura on the entire mirror.

After careful inspection, whether in Raymond's feeling or in the chip's probe, this was just an ordinary mirror.

But the eager spirit Deborah kept hovering around Raymond's body, chanting about her little doll. But after Raymond confirmed that there were no abnormalities on the mirror that could be detected, he turned and asked, "Then what is the spell to come out?"

A confused expression appeared on the face of the spirit Deborah. She thought for a long time before opening her little mouth and chanting a few strange syllables. "I remember! My mother also said that no one but me can stay inside for ten minutes!"

Quickly recording this spell, Raymond almost went berserk again with a headache.

Although he could understand that the little girl Deborah, who had been wandering in the Wizard Academy for thousands of years, had forgotten many important things due to the long passage of time, if Raymond had not remained calm and rushed into the mirror rashly, things would really have been irreparable.

Not to mention what was inside the mirror space, even if everything inside was safe, without the spell to come out, Raymond would be trapped inside and never get out!

Thinking more and more flustered, Raymond simply sat cross-legged in front of the mirror and began to ask all the questions he could think of.

As if also realizing that she had made a serious mistake, the little girl Deborah did her best to answer everything she knew about the space inside the mirror...
