Chapter 21: The Mirror and the Witch
readx;? Deep in the dense forest on the south side of Rusbell, there is a little-known cabin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This wooden house is built on the stump of an ancient tree, and the whole shape is crooked, looking like an artificial tree growing on the stump of the severed tree, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable at a glance.
The owner of this bizarre cabin is a witch.
Yes, you heard it right, it's witches.
At least when the hunter went into the woods to hunt and stumbled upon her presence, the woman who covered her whole body with a robe all the year round, and whose voice was strange and harsh, as if her throat was stuffed with a thumbtack, was so self-proclaimed.
So, during that time, rumors circulated in Rusbell's tavern that there was a madman living in the woods......
At this moment, in the silence of the night, when most of the mortals were already asleep, white smoke rose from the chimney of this wooden house in the woods. In a cramped room filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs, a "madman" who called himself a witch was under the chimney, holding a huge soup spoon and stirring the boiling soup in the pot.
The white mist rose, and countless bubbles burst open on the green noodle soup, making a crisp sound of "pop, pop". The witch scooped up a spoonful of the soup and blew on it with a few breaths. When the soup had cooled a little, she put the green soup to her mouth, stuck out her tongue and licked it, and then nodded in satisfaction.
"Well, it tastes pretty good. ”
She complimented, took a black bowl from the side, carefully multiplied herself for a bowl of supper, got up and took up a small wooden stool, and sat down in front of the only shining thing in the whole dark room, a great mirror, and prepared to do something she had done for the past two days.
"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, let me see, where have all those cute little sheep gone?"
In front of the huge mirror, a creepy "spell" sounded from the witch's mouth. She stretched out her withered right hand and wiped it against the massive mirror. And when her right hand brushed the mirror, the whole mirror was twisted, and there were rings of ripples like water droplets falling into it. After the ripples, a violent white light suddenly bloomed, illuminating the entire hut in an instant. The unprepared witch suddenly let out a miserable howl, quickly closed her stinging eyes, threw away the thick soup in her hand, and turned her head sideways in embarrassment.
"Oh, damn it!"
She let out a scolding and covered her eyes until the tingling subsided, then she turned her head again and looked viciously in the direction of the mirror, wanting to see what had caused her to be accidentally "hurt" and waste her bowl of "delicious" soup!
"...... this?"
What caught her eye was a battlefield of ice and snow, and one of the huge pillars of light connected the heavens and the earth, illuminating the world as if it were day, and it was obviously the culprit who had almost burned her eyes just now!
She looked down and saw a vast battlefield beneath the pillar of light. An earth-shattering shout of slaughter was coming from it, and countless frost wolves and knights were fighting fiercely on this snowy field. In the center of the battlefield, a female knight riding a white war horse was battling a giant black wolf, the dazzling sword and the frost giant claw clashing several times, exploding countless dazzling spots of light and crystal chips.
"Oh, damn it, this little wolf is so uncontrollable, and it seems that the wolf plague of the cold winter is nothing more than that, what a waste of time I told him the news!" Seeing such a scene, the witch was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately scolded in extreme anger, and at the same time was deeply glad for her "habitual" peeping.
"It's good that I remembered to take a look, otherwise I almost delayed things. ”
The witch spun the scene in the mirror and landed it on the blonde knightess.
"The lonely god of war?" her claw-like nails began to rub against the rim of the bowl, and after observing it for a long time, she sneered in a condescending tone, "The army of heaven is indeed interesting, but unfortunately its master only uses brute force. ”
"It's a shame. She looked back and forth at the two who were fighting, shook her head and sighed in disgust: "The two beings of the gods do not know the true meaning of power, and they do not know that savagely fighting with swords is only the most stupid act. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that I had more important things to do, I wish I could give you a taste of the real 'power' and let you know that the great force you hold is nothing more than a toy to be manipulated with by me. ”
"All right, little ones, let's have some fun now. A grim smile suddenly appeared on her wrinkled face, and her eyes hidden under the hood glowed with a faint green light: "While you are having fun, Crimson is destined to fall into my hands." ”
The scene in the mirror turned again at this moment, and when the picture stopped, the camp of more than 300 people was impressively visible.
"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror......" the witch let out a seeming laugh and pointed at the scene in the mirror, "tell me, who is the greatest adversary in the world?"
Invisible power seeped through the fingertips, stirring up ripples on the huge mirror. Ian on the banks of the Twilight Pines suddenly looked up, and noticed that the eyes that had been watching the caravan opened again, and a strange force was rapidly falling from the sky.
"Are you coming?"
He let out a whisper and stepped out, instantly appearing at Olivia's side. Countless blades emerged from the eternal night, turning into an invisible veil that enclosed everyone in the middle. And the next moment, in Ian's suspicious gaze, the strange power directly penetrated the sword curtain and fell to the ground under their feet, instantly covering the entire ground where the camp was located, and lighting up with a silver-white brilliance.
The silver light dissipated, and there was a burst of exclamation from the camp. Because in an instant, they found that the earth under their feet had turned into a huge mirror, reflecting their own figure very clearly.
"...... this?"
Ian put away the sword curtain, looked at the mirror at his feet and frowned. And when he turned his head to look at Harris, he found that the middle-aged man first looked at himself in the mirror at his feet and was stunned, and then suddenly his face changed as if he remembered some rumor.
"Twin Mirrors!"
He let out a startled shout and hurried out of the area. However, before he could take a step, the huge mirror on the ground rose again with dazzling brilliance. In an instant, everyone's eyes were covered by a white light, and nothing could be seen, and when the white light dissipated, countless exclamations of horror rang out from the camp.
Ian looked up and was shocked to find that there were countless pairs of "twins" in the entire camp!
"Harris?"
He looked around and turned his gaze in the direction of the middle-aged man. The other party had just said the name of the image, and Ian knew he must know something. However, when he looked sideways, he was stunned to find that where the other party was before, there were two identical Hares standing at this time.
They were staring at each other, smiling wryly.
In the entire camp, except for Ian and Olivia, there was another self in front of everyone.
"Twin Mirror ......"
Olivia's voice rang out from behind Ian, and he looked back to see that the merchant lady's face was pale.
"Black Scales, Crooked Witch - Sercy!" (To be continued.) )
