The World Inside the Mirror

Sitting on the ground in front of the small stone house, Raymond was still a little confused.

The moment he shouted "came in through the mirror", his body bound by the branches of the big tree suddenly stopped at the woman's calves. His scalp had touched the ground, and his head was about to hit the grass.

Raymond, who was lifted directly by this woman, was brought by her in front of this stone house next to the big tree. Then the woman asked eagerly about everything. "Did you get my mirror? Does the Wizard Academy still exist? Have you heard about a little blonde girl named Deborah? Have the underground dark creatures been repelled quickly..."

Although her whole body was wrapped in tree leaves, the woman's body did not seem solid and did not have the smell that a living person should have.

Having seen two spirits before, Raymond's scalp did not tingle or explode this time. Familiarity breeds immunity. But facing her questions, Raymond did not know how to explain for a while.

Raymond's silence caused the joy on the woman's face to gradually turn into disappointment. Then the woman began to murmur to herself. "I am Octavia. I used to be a teacher at the Red Swamp Wizard Academy. It seems you don't understand these. It's been too long..."

The moment Raymond heard the woman's name, his eyes widened. But he asked his question indifferently. "Where exactly is this place?"

"This is the overlapping area of two worlds," Octavia said unhappily. But after answering the question, Miss Octavia asked eagerly, "What exactly is the situation outside? Tell me!"

Raymond, who had already activated the chip scanning function, had red dots flashing in his eyes. But Octavia, shrouded in a protective force field, none of her data could be collected by the chip.

"Miss Octavia, could you please tell me about your situation first?" Raymond hesitated for a moment without answering directly, but began to probe in Guttorish. "And you don't seem to be human now..."

Miss Octavia, whose expression became sad, soon told her story.

She used to be a spell teacher at the Red Swamp Wizard Academy. But in a sneak attack by underground dark creatures, she was forced to use powerful magic to self-destruct. But her soul accidentally slipped into the space device and survived in another form of life.

Her only daughter Deborah was hidden inside a space device by Miss Octavia when the war broke out. But after Miss Octavia entered this space device, she could not find Deborah inside.

Greatly frightened, Miss Octavia had also tried to leave here and return to the Wizard Academy to find little Deborah. But due to the change in her life form, she could not use her previous spells to leave and was trapped inside the space device.

But the originally small space in this space device gradually overlapped with the edge of the fairy world over time, becoming what it is now.

This bizarre overlap of two worlds was inexplicable to Miss Octavia. But according to Miss Octavia's estimate of time, thousands of years had passed outside, so she had long lost hope that her little daughter Deborah was still alive.

"Thousands of years?" Raymond frowned, repeating her words, somewhat unable to understand.

"What happened to little Deborah later?" After telling these things, Miss Octavia just opened her mouth to ask, then laughed self-deprecatingly. "Time is too distant. At your age, such distant history is probably no longer recorded..."

Saying this, Miss Octavia's expression became melancholy. She pursed her lips and fell silent, lost in thought.

Raymond, secretly calculating in his heart, narrowed his eyes to examine everything around him.

The huge tree in the sky, the old face on the trunk closed its eyes, a trace of saliva still hung from the corner of its mouth, looking very contented, apparently asleep.

But in the lush canopy, some pink fruits with four limbs were jumping and playing on the branches, making childlike laughter.

At the top of the stone house stood many leaves holding leaf stems as weapons, eyeing him fiercely, but curious expressions were revealed on some leaf faces.

"Fairy world?" Seeing Miss Octavia lost in thought, Raymond coughed a few times and spoke. "Respectable Miss Octavia, can you tell me something about the fairy world?"

With an unhappy expression at being interrupted from her thoughts, Miss Octavia explained.

The fairy world is completely different from the underground world where the Wizard Academy is located. So it belongs to a completely independent plane.

But the peculiarity of the fairy world is that this world has mysterious powers that can animate inanimate matter into special lives with growth potential.

"For the wizarding world, the low-level fairy world is an endless treasure trove," Miss Octavia said with a strange expression, looking for suitable words to describe it. "But if you encounter a high-level fairy, it will be a nightmare for wizards."

But Miss Octavia's explanation left Raymond more confused. He pointed to the tree leaf warriors on the roof of the stone house and asked, "Are these tree leaves useful to wizards too?"

A smile immediately appeared on Miss Octavia's face. She looked around and shouted at the big tree, "Old wood, let your children come and play!"

The fat big tree with an old face at the stone house slowly opened its eyes at Miss Octavia's call. It made a strange sound from its mouth, and soon noisy chattering came from the canopy.

"Is there a show to watch?"

"Auntie, Auntie! I'm here..."

"Beauty, beauty! I want to see the show..."

"Another show? Come on, come on..."

Raymond, dumbfounded, watched the pink fruits swarming out of the canopy. He was completely speechless.

With pink and chubby bodies, their slender little legs supported the round fruits. But the speed at which they jumped down from the canopy was somewhat frightening.

In less than two minutes, hundreds of pink fruits with little hands and legs hopped and gathered around Miss Octavia, clamoring to see Miss Octavia's performance...
