Chapter 207: World in the Mirror

"But did you really not notice any problems?" After walking for a while, Yun Xiao said with a frown, "Why do I feel like we can't walk out of here?"

"This... it really has taken longer than the time it took us to enter. Logically speaking, we should have reached the outside by now." Anna became alert, "There hasn't been anyone on this road either."

If she had been confident in her identity as a servant to Baroness Clara just a moment ago, she was no longer so confident now.

Although those witches would not overly affect the stability of Gannaer, the actions of those lunatics would still be learned by Anna.

It was a pity she was from the Necromancy Faction, not the Spirit-Medium Faction; the ability she awakened was controlling corpses, and her ability to communicate with spirits was not very strong.

Otherwise, she would definitely have asked the surrounding spirits what exactly had happened here.

"We have already walked this road three times. Should we try climbing the wall?" After saying this, Yun Xiao picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over the top of one of the walls.

No sound; there was absolutely no sound of the stone landing.

"It should be some kind of Ritual. It is very likely we are not in the real world right now." Anna thought for a moment, "I remember when we came out from that guy's place, there was a Mirror."

"In other words, we are now in the Mirror World?" Yun Xiao felt that this was going to be troublesome.

He was not afraid of death; although losing money would be very painful, that money all belonged to the Wealth Church.

It was hard to say, but if he were gone, the Wealth Church might even have to provide him with a pension.

They might even have to provide another set of materials to other players.

As for his own body, if there were no bugs, it should also be recycled, and his traits could also be separated and traded to others.

Of course, he liked the profession he awakened very much and did not want to trade it to others within a short time.

He also could not let this NPC just die along with him, otherwise, this hard-won money-making opportunity would be gone.

"Do you know how to break the Mirror World?" Yun Xiao, who had encountered this situation for the first time, asked, "Jumping over the wall or something doesn't seem to work. We don't have any preparations and don't know what it's like on the other side of the wall."

"That depends on their goal. What is the benefit of trapping us here?" Anna frowned, "Unless we can notify people outside to smash that Mirror, or like the witches, be able to jump out from the mirror surface."

"Then I can find a way to notify them." Saying this, Yun Xiao lay directly on the ground to send a warning offline.

Anyway, there were so many players with him; it was just that he and Anna had entered the alley. If a few of the remaining people came over, it would still be possible to find a way to smash the Mirror.

Before long, Yun Xiao climbed up from the ground, "I have already notified them. Next, we have to see if there is a way to walk out ourselves."

"Walking forward definitely won't work. We can only judge by the walls." As she spoke, Anna began to pace back and forth nearby, then took out a Charm.

"Release!"

Two Zombies ran out from the shattered Charm and then began to dig fiercely at the fragile wall.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to be shaking, and blood began to appear on the ground.

A rolling stone came from the depths of the alley, and the two Zombies immediately stopped their work and rushed toward the rolling stone.

"Although we are in the Mirror World, in many respects, it is connected to the real world." Yun Xiao seemed to have realized something, "Let's hide in the gap the Zombies dug first. Those two Zombies might not be able to block it."

Since it was an alley, it could not be a completely straight wall, otherwise, it would be easy for two people to discover the abnormality.

The Zombies had long since dug out a place in the weak parts of the wall large enough for two people to stay. It had to be said that Necromancers were still quite powerful; the Zombies they summoned had plenty of strength.

Even if they dug with their bare hands, they could dismantle quite a few bricks, at least enough to keep the two from being crushed to death.

"Be careful, my Zombies should still be able to hold off that stone." The Mirror World also had to follow basic physical laws, even if they were reversed.

That rolling stone soon reached the front of the Zombies. The two Zombies stretched out their hands to block it, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; they couldn't block it at all and were directly crushed by the rolling stone.

"The connection is broken, the Zombies are useless. Unless we have another way to stop that rolling stone, it will definitely come back." Anna knew quite a lot about the Mirror World, "Unless we can find the person controlling it from behind."

"In other words, that witch must also be in the Mirror World?"

"Generally speaking, yes. A Mirror World of this scale must have a witch present to control it. It should be that as soon as we arrived at the black market, that witch set her sights on us." Anna knew that the Barbarian, as a merchant, would not do anything to harm his own business; that witch should have been hiding nearby the whole time.

Unless... unless this black market merchant had the possibility of being manipulated by the witch.

The two hid for another round, and that rolling stone sped past them once again, kicking up quite a bit of dust.

"Should we keep digging?" Yun Xiao touched the wall, "This wall seems to be bleeding."

"I saw it. This world very likely has its own consciousness." Anna said with a frown, "There are many varieties of Mirror Worlds. Generally, after witches awaken, they must tame their first Mirror World. Usually, this is a world formed from their own flesh and blood."

"Isn't it said that Mirror Worlds are usually very dangerous?" Thinking of the knowledge he obtained from Susan, Yun Xiao asked.

"Witches know how to enter the Mirror World with protection, thereby creating their own Mirror World." Anna was somewhat unwilling to explain, "Did you awaken?"

"Does a Fortune-teller count as awakening?" In this situation, the role of a Fortune-teller was not very large.

He could only rely on Anna, who had combat capabilities.

Anna was stunned for a moment and said: "How does it not count? Your good luck will help us."

"What you say makes sense, but generally, I am unwilling to use the abilities of a Fortune-teller; that would delay me from making money." After saying this, Yun Xiao threw the Charm in his hand out.

As a member of the Wealth Church, carrying various Charms was a very normal thing.

After all, their attack capabilities were not very strong, but they carried a large amount of money.

A bolt of Lightning flashed by, and the entire rolling stone instantly shattered into pieces.

The smell of blood in the air became even heavier.

"Are there any more Charms?" Anna thought of something, then threw out another Charm.

Two Zombies came out from the Charm and then began to continue digging the wall.

This time, it wasn't just a thick smell of blood; the ground and the walls began to squirm.

"Is this thing alive?" Yun Xiao looked at the wall behind him and thought of something.

This wall was clearly not something Zombies could dig through easily, and more rolling stones could appear at any time.

In addition to rolling stones, spikes also began to appear on the ground.

If Yun Xiao hadn't used his Turn Stone into Gold ability to turn the ground under their feet into pure gold, the two of them would likely have become hedgehogs just like those two Zombies.

"You try turning this place into gold too." Anna pointed to the wall, "It doesn't need to be too big, just a patch like this will do, all the way to the end."

Yun Xiao understood the other's meaning in a second, "You mean, like sticking a needle into the wall?"

If the other party's goal was to trap the two of them here to death, then this goal could be achieved.

As long as the two of them could not dig through the wall.

Of course, the two of them could also choose to jump over the wall to the other side; that might result in appearing on a new road, or entering a new Mirror World, only to be crushed by rolling stones all over again.

This was a reasonable deduction for the two of them, because the witches could not possibly be that stupid.

Following a howl, it seemed as if something had shattered.

Three people ran out from the mirror; besides Yun Xiao and Anna, there was also a little girl with flaxen hair.

This little girl's eyes were pitch black, and she instantly let out a sharp shriek, causing everyone inside the shop to cover their ears.

Some people who were not in good health rolled directly onto the ground, letting out wails.

The players who had rushed in were the same; those who had not awakened lay directly on the ground, and some simply logged off.

The Barbarian's large hand appeared, lifting the girl up from the ground, and then with a hand-chop, the girl closed her eyes.

"You came because someone was trapped in the mirror?" The Barbarian seemed to understand something, "Tell the people outside to stop."

The sounds of fighting ceased, and several players walked over from outside, "Where is the mirror?"

"It's already shattered." Yun Xiao, who replied in Tana Language, stood up, "Obviously, I am very lucky."

"It seems Gannaer should deal with the witch problem in the black market; this will obviously affect the future operation of the black market." Yun Xiao helped Anna up and said like a gentleman, "Or we cannot open a shop in Gannaer, or otherwise, we will have to exchange currency directly from the Queen."

"You shouldn't have come to the black market in the first place; all kinds of people are here. Believe me, even if the Queen came here in person, she might not be able to clear up all the various relationships here." The Barbarian was not confused, "Also, this is my problem. I can find a suitable shop for you. Believe me, the rent will be the most cost-effective in all of Gannaer."

"That's not bad; my luck is indeed very good. However, how do you intend to deal with this witch?" Yun Xiao stared at the tall Barbarian and said, "I don't think you would hand them over to the authorities."

The Barbarian nodded, "This is our rule. Matters of the black market can only be solved in the black market. Rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory result."

"My point is, this is still just a child." Yun Xiao looked at the little witch; she was only twelve or thirteen years old, and her height only reached Yun Xiao's waist.

This time, the Mirror World shattered, and this child was not lightly injured.

Although he did not know what her purpose was in doing this, this was definitely not a decision a child could make.

"No matter what, she is just a child. The Believers of the Red Moon Goddess are all crazy; she must have been taught some extreme things. I am certainly not saying she shouldn't be punished, but the people behind her are more terrifying than her. To punish, it is better to use this child first to find those adults." Yun Xiao offered a suggestion.

Compared to this child, the ones who should be found most are those witches who are truly hostile to the Federal.

The witches could find countless such little children; what they should be looking for are not these children, but the people behind them.

"You have a point. Lock this little one up first, then find a way to release her; I think we can find the hiding place of those witches." After finishing, the Barbarian opened a roster, "This is the entire East District, houses currently for rent and sale. If you need them, besides a discount, I also allow you to pay in Tana or Xide."

It seems this Barbarian is quite good at doing business.

Wasn't it said that Barbarians' brains don't work well? To think he could even calculate accounts...

Yun Xiao ultimately chose three shop locations as pre-selections; he needed to go see them first to determine which one to choose.

He also planned to ask about the rest offline to see if any players wanted them.

This kind of middleman business was simply too suitable for him.

"I will report the problem to Baroness Clara; you should also be careful later. It is best not to keep mirrors in the house." Anna breathed a sigh of relief. This time in the Mirror World, she lost four tamed Zombies; the loss was very serious.

She didn't expect those witches would actually let a child do assassination work, and even less did she expect them to openly oppose Baroness Clara.

Yun Xiao said dismissively, "We were already prepared for trouble. You don't need to blame yourself too much. If possible, it would be better to urge the currency exchange matter."

Although the Queen's posture in signing the agreement was very humble and the speed was astonishingly fast, the implementation was full of obstacles.

Over there in Tana City, they have already started building houses, but here, the docking of ships is still a problem.

Not only that, the players' actions in Gannaer are also restricted.

"However, we at least got a pretty good property source from this black market merchant. We had better go over and take a look; things like buying items can be done later." Yun Xiao's attitude made Anna feel admiration; she had never seen this kind of merchant.

Don't look at how merchants only seem to recognize money; most merchants still cherish their lives.

No wonder this guy can be a Gold Tie; perhaps it is because he wants money more than his life.

Yun Xiao's plea made the players realize the severity of the problem in Gannaer.

Some players preparing to go to Gannaer had already started asking Susan about the price of Charms, even though the new storefront was still under renovation.

Her business had not yet begun, but she already had buyers.

Seeing Susan's shop so popular, Mata, standing in front of Evans, had a thoughtful look.

"I remember your family is all in the intelligence business. You are a freak, and the witch opposite you is also a freak, actually just opening a magic shop, and the customer flow of the shop is very stable." Mata said in confusion, "Those Xiahui People actually understand Mysticism so well?"

"No, they are just doing it for self-preservation." Evans said without lifting his head.
