It was a luxurious hall. The long table was carved out of ten-thousand-year-old wood from Fragrant Graveyard, the floor was covered with a bearskin rug made from a white bear, and even the oil lamps hanging on the pillars were made from shark oil refined by mermaids.
The hall was luxurious and splendid. The only flaw was … the coldness.
Thud, thud, thud —
Suddenly, the sound of clear footsteps could be heard in the cold and cheerless hall.
The figure stepped through the shadows and revealed herself under the light of the oil lamp on the first pillar. Through the oil lamp, the first thing people saw was a pair of fair, smooth legs and a pair of brown high-heeled boots with red stripes.
When the light from the lamp illuminated the figure, they saw that it was a beautiful woman wearing a fiery red robe.
"I was wondering who it was. So it was you. Why are you here? "It was the woman sitting in front of the long table in the hall who spoke.
Through the gauze curtain and the misty light, one could see a graceful female figure at the long table. She was stirring the liquid in the teacup with a spoon.
"Can't I come?" The person who came lifted the thin muslin curtain and walked around the long table. He looked at the fireplace that was burning with a whirlpool of a hundred wheels, and then smelled the Frosted Snow Orchid on the low cupboard. Finally, as if venting his anger, he stomped on the white bear fur carpet under his feet. "Tsk tsk, your place is really getting more and more luxurious. I say, you still haven't formed a body. Now that you're just a piece of white mist, why are you making it so luxurious? Lady Mirror? "
At this moment, the female figure at the long table could be seen clearly. She was one of the three ancestor souls of Brute Cavern, the true form of the mirror world, Lady Mirror.
Lady Mirror humphed. "I like it. It's none of your business."
"I'm not. I just feel sorry for you. You can shape anything in the morning, but you're always showing up as smoke. " The newcomer lifted his red robe and sat to the right of Lady Mirror. "That great being has left this world for many years. With his ability, it would be easy for him to come back. Since he hasn't come back, it means that he doesn't have you in his heart."
Lady Mirror glared at the newcomer. "Where did you go to listen to gossip again? Is it because the new edition of 'Ancient Love Poems' is out, and they are using me as the prototype of a bitter woman waiting for her husband? What great? I don't even know what you're talking about! "
"Stop pretending. It's not 'Ancient Love Poem'. It's Yue Di Temisa who told me that you and the great existence behind Candy House once had a relationship …"
Lady Mirror was confused. "Yuedi Temisa? Who is this? Why is his name so strange? "
"A new Sorcerer from the Tree of Paradise. She inherited the title of 'Bird of Paradise' from her mentor. She's the new goddess of the Southern Sorcerer Magazine." After a pause, the person continued, "She's also my new best friend. Her personality is very interesting."
"Tree of Heaven?" Lady Mirror sneered, "The wizard organizations under Fairytown are getting more and more daring. They even dare to gossip about that lord. Do they really think he won't return after leaving? Hong Lian, you don't need such a close friend. "
Being called by her nickname, the woman took Mirror Girl's hand and said, "Calling me Red Lotus is too distant. Why don't you call me by my name?"
"Don't be rude, Lydia." Lady Mirror sounded like she was criticizing Lydia, but she was still smiling. "Don't listen to those rumors. There's no chance between me and that man. He pursues truth, and I pursue immortality. We've been at odds for thousands of years. He never gave up, and I never gave up on my pursuit. We've never been together. "
"Then why did she say it so confidently?" Lydia clearly did not buy it. "Besides, you can remodel. Are you waiting for him?"
"I didn't remodel because I don't have a shape that I like. It has nothing to do with that lord." Lady Mirror scolded, "Lydia, you're one of the core members of the wizarding world. Drop the thought of being a mortal woman. Don't be so narrow-minded all the time."
Lydia rolled her eyes and grabbed the teapot from Lady Mirror. She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. "Well, I think I understand now. I didn't expect Lady Mirror to understand so much. I came here to give you the token Mister Sunders gave me. But I guess I'll pass. "
Lady Mirror's hand paused.
"Sunders?" Lady Mirror suddenly grabbed Lydia's arm and showed an interested look. "So Sunders is enlightened now? He gave you something? "
Lydia faked a cough. "I ran into Mister Sunders at Twilight Well. He missed me so much that he gave me a little toy to cheer me up."
"Really?" Lady Mirror was doubtful. "Did Sunders really like you? Then if I remodel, I'll have to look like you, a succubus, right? "
"You said you didn't remodel because you don't have a shape you like, right?"
Lady Mirror shamelessly said, "The shape I like is Sunders' ideal shape. There's no conflict. "
Lydia was speechless.
Lady Mirror spread her hands. "Come. Let's see what Sunders gave you."
Lydia came to Lady Mirror for two reasons. One, to visit her old friend. Two, to show off her "Cloud 6". It would be best if it could be better than Polisa's "Pretty Boy". Lady Mirror reached out a hand, pretended to decline, and took out the "Cloud 6" from her space.
"This is the token Mister Sunders gave me. You can call it a token of love," Lydia said. "Mister Sunders put a lot of thought into it. Lady Mirror, I'm telling you. Not only is the music beautiful, but it can also create illusions that are both real and illusory."
Lady Mirror was stunned.
She looked at the familiar shape and listened to Lydia praising it with all kinds of fancy words … Lady Mirror felt that the world was too kind to her. When Lydia arrived, Lady Mirror was going to show off her "Journey in the Sky" as well. But before she could find a chance, Lydia took out her "Journey in the Sky" first.
She even used the "token of love from Sunders" as an excuse.
It was embarrassing to see someone wearing the same outfit. However, if it was a "showpiece", it would be awkward for whoever took it out first.
Thank goodness Lydia took it out first. Otherwise, Lady Mirror would be the one embarrassed.
"… It's called 'Cloud Six' …" Lydia was still praising the creature. "… It's called Cloud Six …"
Lady Mirror interrupted Lydia with a half-smile. "You said it's called 'Cloud 6'? Who named it?"
Lydia was surprised. Did Lady Mirror know about the Twilight Auction? But "Cloud 6" wasn't a particularly outstanding item. She shouldn't care about this one, right?
Lydia thought for a moment. "Well, I don't know. It was called that when I got it."
Lady Mirror smiled mysteriously. "Are you sure Sunders gave it to you?"
Lydia narrowed her eyes. She was sure that Lady Mirror knew about the music box. Did Lady Mirror really pay attention to every item in the auction?
Lydia covered her mouth and giggled. "Actually, I was just joking. I bought this music box from Twilight Auction, but I'm not lying. It's from … Mister Sunders. Take a look at this illusion. "
While waiting for Lydia to finish, Lady Mirror played an illusion of Sky City. When the floating island was shown, Lydia raised an eyebrow at Lady Mirror as if saying, "See? I didn't lie, did I? Mister Sunders is the source of the illusion!"
When Lydia was done, Lady Mirror smiled and slowly took out "Journey in Sky".
Journey in Sky and "Cloud 6".
Just like that, they bumped into each other awkwardly.
Lydia looked at the identical music box and felt awkward.
Lady Mirror chuckled and said, "I actually got this music box half a month ago. The maker made it for me. Ugh … That kid is such a sly one. He said he made it to repay my kindness. I didn't think he'd sell it at an auction. Next time he makes a custom made music box for me, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind. "
Lady Mirror emphasized the word "custom made", which made Lydia even more embarrassed.
"Sunders didn't make this music box?"
"Of course not."
"But this illusion … I saw Sunders' shadow!"
"That's because Sunders' student made it."
Lady Mirror didn't intend to keep it a secret at all, so she immediately betrayed Angor. He told Lydia everything that had happened to him.
Lydia stayed silent for a moment. "So he's the one who made it? No wonder the illusion created during the auction was so miraculous. "
Lady Mirror noticed Lydia's silence. "What? Are you embarrassed? "
Lydia rolled her eyes. "You already knew. Don't make fun of me."
Lady Mirror said earnestly, "Every setback is an experience for growth."
Lydia grumbled. "Fine. At least I know who made it. I don't need to interrogate that Moonlily Fairy anymore. But Sunders just gave a tiered alchemy item to a monster. Something's not right …"
Lady Mirror wasn't interested in how Lydia got "Cloud Six". She was thinking about how to tell Lydia about the "sensual" and "textured" item she asked Angor to make.
"I have to say, the students Sunders took in this time are really good. A few days ago, he had created two alchemy omens in a row. Less than a year after entering the Wizarding World, he had become an intermediate apprentice alchemist. You have also seen his level of illusion, it is very outstanding. He's even better than Sunders when he was young. "Lady Mirror praised." But he's a little too gentle. Which doesn't match Sunders. "
Lydia sneered. "Doesn't match? Lady Mirror, I think you don't know. He almost got killed by Twilight a few days ago, but Sunders saved him in the end. He's so sad about it, and you still don't match him? "
Mirror: "Really?"
"It's true. I think Flora must've gone mad with jealousy."
"Then … should I make Angor's face?" Lady Mirror whispered.
"Sure. Look at Angor's face. I think he'll look pretty in female form." Lydia raised both hands in support.
Lydia and Lady Mirror chatted about the latest gossip for a while. Suddenly, Lydia frowned. "Huh? One of my monster servants sent me an urgent message through a blood sacrifice?"
Lydia took out a piece of cowhide paper that had strange symbols written on it. The symbols couldn't be read with the naked eye. One had to use spirit power to sense the meaning of the symbols. This was one of the best ways to record information in the general plane.
Lydia's name was written on one side of the contract, while Moa's name was written on the other side.
"Moa Clan? A Phantom Servant from Midnight Sovereign? Good material for a monster servant, "Lady Mirror muttered to herself.
When the contract floated in the air, Lydia spoke to Lady Mirror. "Can I borrow your fire?"
Without waiting for an answer, Lady Mirror took out a flame from a lamp hanging on a pillar and placed it under the contract.
As the flame burned, the symbols on the contract suddenly "came to life" and moved around on the paper. A moment later, the symbols rearranged themselves into a new line of words.
"Lady Lotus, Midnight Sovereign has fallen into the hands of the Ghost Domain. The Moa Clan is in grave danger. Please have mercy on us, Lady Lotus."
