Nisi led the crowd into the Mirror Plane and waited until they reappeared. When everyone arrived, they appeared on the outskirts of the Mirror World, The Tree Shade Court.
As he walked, Nisi explained. “The Savage Grottoes has Three Great Ancestors. One is at the Mirror Plane entrance, the second one is the Tree Spirit here, and the last one is the Old Book hidden in the library. The Three Great Ancestors have been here a long time and have been here throughout the college’s long history, without anyone being able to trace back their history. They are the guarantee to the Savage Grottoes that it will never fall.”
“Wizard Lord, how does your strength compare to one of the ancestor lords?” Hooked.i.c.k behind Nisi asked respectfully.
Nisi glanced at Hooked.i.c.k and snorted: “The power of the ancestors are mysterious and unfathomable. It is not something for me to comprehend. As long as you know the ancestral spirits will always be the patron saints of the Savage Grottoes, and that no one can blaspheme them. That is enough.”
After a pause, Nisi added: “The ancestors have their own personality and preferences. But most of the time, their tempers are gentle. As long as you do not take the initiative to find their trouble. The ancestors will not take notice you, as for other things, you will gradually get to know later.”
As soon as they entered the Mirror World, the first feeling was: Big.
The second feeling is Vast.
At first, Angel thought that the Mirror World would be similar to a cave sky in the Earth novels. Thinking along those line, it would have been nice to have at least more than a hundred acres of land. But in fact, it was worthy of the t.i.tle “world.” Because there is no end in sight. According to Nisi, the Mirror World is so vast it is comparable to the whole Edge Island. However, not many places can be used in the Mirror World. Basically, all living things are cl.u.s.tered near the Tree of Eternity.
The Tree of Eternity is the first landmark that everyone sees when they enter the Mirror World. The trunk is so vast, and its diameter is estimated in kilometers. The height is even more difficult to measure. Thick leaves go straight into the sea of clouds, while white clouds cover the line of sight of everyone that tries to look beyond.
“The Tree Spirit is one of the Three Great Ancestors, he is the soul for the Tree of Eternity.” Nisi laments that no matter how many times he sees the Tree of Eternity, he can feel shocked at its magnificence.
Nisi took the crowd and slowly approached the Tree of Eternity and explained to the group the distribution of people in the Mirror World.
The whole Mirror World is divided by rank. Roughly divided into two parts, the ground is the place where apprentices live and practice. Because most of the surface is obscured by the Tree of Eternity, the huge leaves shades the sun from casting its rays on the ground through cracks in the leaves. This is why this place is called Tree Shade Court.
Formal Wizards naturally do not live around Tree Shade Court, where they live is in the Tree of Eternity.
Some of the Wizards live on the enormous leaves. Some under the extensive roots, some of the thick branches, and some even on the surface of the clouds. Anyway, the Tree of Eternity is exceptionally enormous as it cuts through the floating clouds. One can live anywhere they want. However, it is worth mentioning Wizards on the Tree of Eternity basically live alone and have a strong territorial awareness. Several kilometers near the residence are designated as forbidden zones. Without the invitation of by the Wizards themselves, the consequences of trespa.s.sing are severe. The Wizard will not be lenient even against apprentices of the Savage Grottoes.
When Angel arrived at the Tree of Eternity, Nisi explained all the rules here.
“Well, by the time we arrive here, my mission will be over. If you have any more questions, you can wait until you get to the Tree Spirit Hall and ask the Tree Spirit.” At this point, Nisi intends leaving after this explanation.
At this time, Hooked.i.c.k, who had been following behind, Nisi, suddenly asked, “Wizard Lord, can you tell us your n.o.ble name?”
They followed him this whole time and really didn’t know the name of the Lord.
Instead of answering positively, Nisi whispered, “My name, you don’t deserve to know it yet. You will know when you live and gain a foothold in the Savage Grottoes.”
After saying that, Nisi’s figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.
At the same time, a gentle and clear male voice sounded in everyone’s ear. “Are these the talents of this session? Please, come to my hall.”
As soon as his voice fell. The tree trunk in front of the group had appeared a beautiful door that leads to a winding staircase.
Everyone knows the clear male voice just now should belong to the Tree Spirit. But they didn’t expect the voice of the Tree of Eternity’s Tree Spirit to be so young.
The Talents entered in, and the steps that were winding upward were not narrow, so many of the people who knew each other began talking side by side. The same was true for Angel, whose left and right sides were Nausica and Shalem. Abney was near him too but was following behind Nausica.
On the wooden walls, from time to time, were burning oil lamps that illuminated their way forward.
“Do you smell that? There is a faint smell of wood. Is this the fragrance of the Tree of Eternity?” Shalem suddenly asked.
Angel also nodded. The smell of wood coming from the air, was moist, mild and light, like the voice of Tree Spirit. Not at all thick or depressing, the voice was like a clear stream flowing through the heart.
“It does have a scent, but I prefer Angel’s fragrance to this scent.” Nausica laughed as she explained she didn’t stop smoking to show her humility to all life. But Nausica was so addicted to smoking that she carried her long handle pipe in hand. She turned it just like turning a pen, spinning the pipe between her fingers.
“There’s a fragrance on me?” Angel flashed in his heart, rolled up his sleeves and sniffed. Sure enough, an aroma had penetrated the depths of his skin.
He was no stranger to this aroma, this was the fragrance of the Demon Eating Flower’s saliva!
“Yes, the fragrance on you is rea.s.suring, as if it had a magic power to calm restless souls and soothe restless spirits.”
Nausica’s high praise let Angel expression become wooden for a moment. Do you feel restless? You don’t feel safe?! Demon Eating Flower King saliva isn’t this thing the most precious thing for restoring the soul and wounded spirit.
“Are you using perfume?” Asked Nausica.
Perfume powder is a fragrance powder loved by the aristocracy in many countries. After bathing, the fragrance powder would be applied from the head, ears, neck, armpits, wrists and other places. So that the fragrance can be fully dispersed, and the charm can be entirely covered from the hands to the feet. There are many brands of fragrance powder. Both for men, women, and even for children.
There is no doubt that Angel is an aristocrat. Nausica mistakenly thought it was normal for him to use perfume powder.
“Uh…” Angel nasal cavity uttered a vague voice, neither denying nor confirming it.
It’s impossible for him to admit it was not perfume powder. If Nausica misunderstands that it is his “body perfume,” where would he put his face as a man? If he says “yes,” and if Nausica asks him what brand of perfume he uses, it would be harder to lie.
So, Angel pretended to be dumb and deaf but acting as if he didn’t hear it.
He didn’t expect that the fragrance of the Demon Eating Flower King’s saliva could spread from his soul to his flesh. This effect was too strong.
In this regard, Angel can only pray silently in his heart that the fragrance would quickly disappear. Before the fragrance disappears, he decided to act alone as much as possible…
Nausica looked at Angel with a smile instead of continuing to ask about it but approached Angel and whispered in his ear.
“That Wizard Lord, just now was the gray-haired little old man, do you remember?”
Angel nodded.
“One evening, I happened to see Hooked.i.c.k and the little gray-haired old man talking. They had very friendly looks on their faces, and I didn’t know what was going on. The next day. Hooked.i.c.k came to me to form an alliance, and then, you know, I beat him up. At the time, I was wondering where he had gotten that obsession and self-confidence from. Now it seems that it may have something to do with that Lord just now.” Nausica paused.” you have to be careful. Hooked.i.c.k is extremely narrow-minded. If you have anything to do with that Lord, System, you…”
Angel frowned a little when he heard this.
He didn’t expect that Hooked.i.c.k had anything to do with a Wizard. It seemed that he was looking for a chance to ask the cheap Mentor about the ident.i.ty of the Wizard. Although he did not think the other side would take the initiative to provoke him, he should be prepared for all possibilities to prevent trouble in the near future.
