This place was also called a stall, but it wasn't the same as a normal "stall".
The most common type of stall was mirrors. Mirrors were erected everywhere, which acted as "doors" that led to the stalls behind them. On the surface of the mirror, a portion of the interior scene or the appearance of the main product would be displayed to attract customers.
Other than the group of mirrors, there were also some who held a sign and stood at the side with a large box behind them. The sign listed the goods they were selling, and they could talk if needed.
Of course, there were also stalls that displayed their goods on the ground. But generally speaking, there were very few of them.
Most importantly, there was no guarantee of safety.
For a stall like this, either the goods weren't valuable enough to be placed on the ground without worrying about losing them, or the seller was so powerful that they didn't fear anyone approaching them.
Apart from the stalls mentioned above, there were also "crystal shell" stalls specially provided by the Crystaleye Race.
They rented crystal shells and then unfolded them to form small crystal houses.
They used the houses as temporary shops.
Of course, these crystal shell stalls didn't only serve as stalls. They also came with their own safety barriers that could protect the seller and his goods as much as possible.
In addition, the crystal shell stalls would be surrounded by colorful lights.
From afar, these lights didn't seem to have any other purpose apart from being pretty and eye-catching. However, when passersby got close, the lights would form all kinds of strange illusions.
For example, right in front of Angor was a pure white crystal house with a round roof.
As soon as Angor and Laplace approached the house, they saw the illusion of a rock creature formed by the light yellow lights. The black rock creature was shouting at passersby, "Gemstones! Gemstones! Gemstones! Starlight Gemstones! Mirror Gemstones! Cheap! It's cheap and not expensive, and you even get free gems when you buy gems! "
Whenever someone approached, he would repeat his words.
The details, movements, and voice were all the same.
Without a doubt, this was a preset illusion. As for the purpose of … advertising.
Using illusions to advertise and attract customers didn't sound like much. However, the fact that the Crystaleye Race came up with such an idea and made it so that anyone who wanted to rent a crystal shell could use it was impressive.
"That's the Glory Race. But the mirror creatures prefer to call them Saboteurs." Laplace noticed that Angor was staring at the rock creature, so he quickly explained the creature's race.
He wasn't curious about the creature's background at all. He was only interested in the "illusionary advertisement".
"What do you mean by 'Saboteur'?" Angor couldn't help but ask again, "Saboteur?"
"The gems sold by the Rong Shi Clan are actually found by excavating the mirror space through their sensing talent. Their excavation will cause irreversible damage to the mirror space. Often, the mirror space that they excavate will turn into mirror light and dissipate soon after. Therefore, they are also known as destroyers. "
The so-called destruction referred to the destruction of the mirror space.
"However, they're basically destroying empty mirror spaces. In addition, there are too many mirror spaces in the Mirror Domain every day. Their actions aren't considered excessive."
It was just that the name sounded a little unpleasant, but in fact, the reputation of the Rong Shi Clan was much better than that of the Piluxiu Clan and the Long Huo Clan.
"Rumor has it that the Rong Shi Clan and the Ersi Clan don't get along well."
The Rong Shi Clan's talent was destroying mirror spaces, while the Ersi Clan's talent was fixing and stabilizing them. Their talents were indeed contradictory.
However, Angor wasn't sure if they really hated each other.
"Want to take a look?" Laplace pointed at the gem hut owned by the Rong Shi Clan.
Angor considered and nodded.
Gems were very common materials in the southern wizarding region. They could be used in almost any field, including alchemy. Angor had quite a few gems in his bracelet.
He also wanted to see how different the gems produced in the Mirror Domain were from the outside world.
Angor and Laplace entered the gem hut.
Three minutes later, they came out in silence.
It wasn't that the gems weren't good. Most of them were just ordinary gems that could be used to set up runes or some simple potions. The ones that contained supernatural power were all condensed energy, so Angor couldn't use them.
After a quick glance, he decided to leave.
After leaving the Gem Hut, Angor chatted with Laplace while strolling around the area.
He saw a lot of interesting things along the way. Most of them were powered by convergent energy, but there were still a few that caught his attention.
For example, he saw a mirrored space that was filled with plants.
It was like walking into a small rainforest.
These plants didn't need soil. They only needed to absorb a small amount of condensed energy to grow quickly. This "Rainforest Shop" sold everything from ordinary flower seeds and tree seeds to magical plant seeds.
Angor wasn't interested in the magical plant seeds. He wanted to use them to decorate his heart space.
There was no soil in his heart space. There was only one Beastblood Tree, and it was a special cultivation soil.
The cultivation soil couldn't cover the entire space. It could only be used in a small area, so other plants couldn't grow here. However, these plants that could grow by absorbing condensed energy without soil were perfect for his heart space.
However, although he was tempted, it wasn't to the point where he had to buy it.
More importantly, he didn't have any crystals on him.
Angor noted down the location of the shop. If he had extra crystals, he could buy some seeds.

Apart from this shop, Angor also noted several other shops that he was interested in but didn't need to buy for now.
…
When they came out of another mirror space, Laplace suddenly looked at something not far away.
Angor followed Laplace's gaze and saw a familiar figure on the other side of the street. It was Luigi.
Luigi was standing in front of a stall and talking to a man in a black robe.
Angor couldn't hear what Luigi was talking about, but he remembered that Luigi went to a shop that sold music sheets. Was this man in a black robe selling music sheets?
He considered for a moment and decided to head to Luigi's direction.
Before Angor and Laplace could get close, Luigi sensed their presence and looked at them.
"Hey, why are you here —" Luigi suddenly stopped and gave Angor a suspicious look. "You … you're not here to borrow money from me, are you?"
"I … I can only lend you ten crystals at most. I don't have any more." Luigi was going to say "I don't have any money", but when he saw Laplace's cold glare, he changed his mind.
Angor wasn't planning to borrow money anyway. But seeing Luigi's stingy look, he raised an eyebrow. "Ten crystals will do. It's better than nothing."
Seeing that Angor really wanted to borrow money, Luigi pouted and handed Angor a small pouch.
The small bag was quite bulging, and there were clinking sounds inside. There should be more than ten condensed crystals.
"A hundred crystals for now," Luigi mumbled. "No more. I really don't have any more."
Angor accepted the pouch. He didn't really want to use it. He just wanted to see Luigi's reaction. Still, Angor knew that Luigi wasn't stingy. He just didn't know the price of the music score, which was why he acted so stingy.
He took the bag and was about to ask Louis about the music score, but before he could say anything, he heard a low voice from the side.
"Are you a human? If you lack Condensed Crystals, the things I sell can also accept Magic Crystals. "
It was the black-robed man.
Before Angor arrived, Luigi was already talking to the black-robed man.
The man's entire body was covered by the black robe, so Angor couldn't see his face or sense his aura. This kind of outfit was quite common in gatherings. Not everyone liked to be exposed.
As for the black-robed man's stall … it was a real street stall.
There was an unknown piece of fur on the ground, on which there were some strange trinkets. Angor glanced at them and found that they were all ordinary items. The only thing special about them was that they all carried the aura of the material world.
In other words, they weren't local products of the Mirror Realm.
Ancient Tooth Fairy sold a lot of such items. Most of the items sold by Ancient Tooth Fairy had supernatural properties. However, this black-robed man was selling ordinary items, including a gray harp. Perhaps this was what attracted Luigi to come here.
There were also some more ordinary items, such as Yuhua Stones and Pebbles.
Even if they were real items, they wouldn't attract the attention of the mirror creatures.
Maybe it was because the items were too ordinary that this man dared to set up a street stall like this.
Angor looked at the black-robed man. "If I'm a human, do you think I'll spend magic crystals on these things?"
In the southern wizarding region, even gold coins would be a great loss, let alone magic crystals.
The black-robed man gave Angor a thoughtful look. "Since I said magic crystals, I have something that matches the price. I just didn't put them on display."
"For example?"
The black-robed man pointed at a gold-rimmed mirror not far away. "If you want to see more, we can go inside and talk."
Angor looked at the mirror and saw a familiar symbol carved on it.
"Pippi Castle?"
Angor saw this symbol when he went to the inner city of Pippi Castle. It meant that the owner of this mirror was a Pippi.
"Yes, it's Pippi's shop. But I'm working with Mister Pippi and rented a small area to store my goods. Do you want to go inside? "
Angor didn't answer right away. "If you already rented the goods area, why did you set up a stall outside?"
The black-robed man didn't respond.
Luigi, who was at the side, said, "I know about that. I've asked just now. That Pippi's shop has a bad reputation. People went inside half a day ago, but they all came out cursing and swearing. Now, it's been two hours since anyone came in … "
In other words, even if the black-robed man rented a small area to store his goods, he couldn't sell them if no one went inside.
So he had to set up a stall outside to sell his goods and attract customers.
Luigi looked at the black-robed man. "You don't know about Pippi's reputation?"
The black-robed man chuckled bitterly. "So what? I don't have enough crystals anyway. Otherwise, I wouldn't have rented a corner of Pippi's shop."
Luigi shrugged and didn't say anything else. Angor raised an eyebrow. Judging from the black-robed man's emotions, he was sure that the man's "bitter smile" was just an act.
Of course, it didn't mean that the man was lying, but it was very likely.
"Do you want to have a look?" The black-robed man looked at Angor again.
Angor sensed the urgency in the man's voice. Did he really want to do business with Angor?
But why?
Luigi spoke first, "I'm going anyway. He said he has a nice church music score. I want to check it out."
Angor chuckled. "Let's go together then."
Angor didn't know what the black-robed man wanted. But he had nothing to fear with Laplace around.
The black-robed man sighed in relief after hearing Angor's answer.
With a wave of his hand, the stall was put away. Everything was put away under his robe.
Next, the black-robed man gestured for everyone to enter. "This way, please."
…
Angor was the last one to enter the mirror space. As soon as he entered, he heard someone yelling, "Run! You can't stop until I tell you to! Or I'll throw you into a pot and cook you!"
"Squeak!" The frightened voice was accompanied by running noises.
He looked up and saw that the mirror space was filled with machines and gears. A short, green-skinned Pippi was standing on top of a glass cabinet with a small whip in his hand. He was pointing at a hamster in a roller and cursing loudly.
The fat hamster was running as fast as it could inside the roller. As it ran, the gears connected to the roller began to turn slowly.
There were at least dozens of interlocking chains and hundreds of gears on the wall. The hamster was truly "carrying a heavy load".
While Angor was observing the hamster, Pippi also saw the visitors coming into the shop. He quickly put on a perverted smile and tried to greet them. But when he saw Angor and the others coming in with the black-robed man, Pippi's expression changed.
"Your guest?" Pelucci furrowed his bald eyebrows and asked.
The black-robed man nodded.
Pilucci rolled his eyes and turned his head to continue threatening the pitiful Hamster with his whip.
The black-robed man looked at Angor again. "Don't mind him. This way, please."
The black-robed man pointed at a small compartment covered by a curtain.
"My treasures are all in there."
