Zhu Si didn't accept the inkstone in the end.

She picked up a pack of cinnabar, a few stacks of yellow paper, a bundle of quills, and the 08 edition of "Into the First University" for a long time.

"That's fine!" she nodded with satisfaction: "These ...... It's going to be used for a long time. ”

"Don't you want to take a few more books?" Zheng Qing pointed to the extracurricular reading materials he borrowed from the library: "For example, this book "Master a Hundred Spells in Three Minutes", there are a lot of exquisite little magic in it, and this Mankiw's "Rune Construction Principle", although the content is boring, it is very systematic, and it will definitely help you a lot!"

"No, no. Zhu Si patted his pocket and looked proud: "When I left, I took all the books on my mother's bookshelf with me...... I haven't finished reading it until now. I feel like I can watch it for a hundred years!"

"Where's the food? I'll give you all these snacks too. Zheng Qing was a little anxious, so he simply took matters into his own hands, and pushed the beef jerky, pickled pepper chicken feet, Arabon biscuits and a few pieces of chocolate from Xin Fatzi to the little witch: "You don't have these, right?" ”

"Too much, too much. Zhu Si bit his fingers, his eyes were glued to the chocolates, but his face showed an embarrassed look: "A little bit is enough." ”

Zheng Qing regretted for the first time that the chocolate candy in the bag was a little less.

He flipped through it again, and pulled the medicinal mints and snake oil in front of the little witch.

"It's as if I sold it to you," Zheng Qing couldn't help but say, and forced it over: "When you go out in the future, just pay me back some more gold." ”

"Gold?" the little witch's eyes lit up: "I have gold!"

She stretched open the pocket of her shabby robe, and poured out a large pile of things with the same noise.

Deflated gold pots, broken silverware, colorful gems, heavy golden beans rolling around, Mithril and copper essence stamped with various coats of arms scattered throughout, and even a few fist-sized night pearls—Zheng Qing felt as if he had arrived in the lair of a giant dragon.

"It's... What are these, what are these?" the wizard asked, pointing to the dazzling wealth in front of him, "...... It's all yours, how do you have so much gold?"

"Earned!" replied the little witch with a sense of reason.

"Earned?"

"You can earn a lot of money if you stay in the mirror world a little longer...... As you walk, you can see a bunch of bones lying behind a mirror, you just need to squat next to them and recite the "Hou Tu Sutra" and "Death Mantra" a few times, and after those bones disappear, these things will be left on the ground. Rules of magic, equivalent exchange!"

Speaking of this, the little witch waved her hand in disgust: "It's just that these things can't be eaten or used, except for being a little better, probably when they are thrown out, they can make some movement and help me distract the attention of those mirror demons." ”

It's a really ironic thing.

In the real world outside, wizards work hard all day long in order to earn a little more gold and save a little more resources, or cheat or work tirelessly.

And in this illusory mirror world, between the heads of the eyes, there are all these blockages.

Perhaps that's why the world in the mirror is more likely to attract confused souls than the real world. Zheng Qing suddenly realized a little more about why Mr. asked him to come to this world.

He shook his head, shaking his head away from these reveries.

Zhu Si picked out a few beautiful gems and a few night pearls from the dazzling wealth and stuffed them back into his pocket, and then waved his hand: "The rest is yours!"

This time, Zheng Qing bit his fingers.

"It's too much. He scratched his head with a wry smile and picked up a golden bean: "What I gave you, it's more than enough to exchange it...... You're giving too much. ”

"The extra can be used as an advance payment!" the little witch showed a shrewdness that did not belong to her age: "Next time you come, you can buy more delicious and fun food...... If there's any excess, bring more leaves from the Misty wood. This is a commission. ”

As she spoke, she grabbed a few pieces of Mithril from the pile of treasures and stuffed them into the witch's arms, and patted his arm unusually old-fashioned: "If you take the commission, you have to work hard!"

Zheng Qing took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and swept all the things on the ground into his gray cloth bag. It's just that there is too much gold, and after he stuffed the gray cloth bag, there was a gilded silver pot of the rosette dragon beast left outside.

He had to carry the silver kettle in his hand.

"How do I get out?" asked the wizard, with some urgency.

He wanted to get out as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible.

Zhu Si already had a piece of mint candy in his mouth, and was squinting happily, after hearing the boy's question, he waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "It's very simple, first get out of the maze, just go out after seeing the exit...... Remember never to look back. ”

Zheng Qing showed a hint of suspicion on his face.

Zhu Si immediately sensed his doubts.

"Don't think it's easy!" she poked the wizard's arm a little angrily, "You wouldn't have been able to get out of this maze of mirrors without my help...... Eight or nine out of ten people will be trapped in this labyrinth. ”

"Then why did you find the exit?"

"Because I'm smart!" said the little witch crossed her hips, looking proud.

Immediately, her small face turned flat, and her expression became serious: "You have missed a chance to step out of the world in the mirror, this is the second and best opportunity." If you don't go out the second time and want to try a third time, you'll have to wait a long, long time. If you can't get out three times, you'll never get out. ”

This warning made the wizard break out in a cold sweat.

The subsequent development, as Zhu Si describes, is very simple.

She commanded Zheng Qing through the 'hive' of mirrors, over the obstacles of mirror after mirror, no matter how comical her command might be—crawling over a mirror on her stomach, arching over a hive like a maggot, or crossing a hive even though she had just passed through a hive.

Zheng Qingdu firmly complied.

Soon they were on the edge of the maze.

"Alright, the rest of the way is up to you, remember the last ......" The little witch's voice whispered in Zheng Qing's ear, the voice getting weaker and weaker, until it became inaudible—since Zheng Qing removed the clothes that covered the mirror, she had disappeared from the boy's field of vision again, and he could not find any trace of her despite his best efforts.

Zheng Qing took a deep breath and looked at the disc-sized white aura in the depths of the darkness.

Zhu Si said that that is the exit of the world in the mirror.

He took a step forward.

"That's right!" Behind him, Zhu Si's annoyed voice came: "Do you see that you pulled this thing down......?"

Zheng Qing lowered his head and touched the bulging gray cloth bag around his waist.

"Here I am!" he waved his hand back, and continued to take the second step without looking back.

Zhu Si let out an 'oh', paused for a moment, and shouted again: "I thought about it, can you lend me the Mankiw's Rune Construction Principle...... There are too many mirror demons here, so it's good to learn a little more knowledge. I just flipped through it and I didn't have that book in my bag. ”

Zheng Qing's figure shook, and he almost turned around.

But he remembered the little witch's prompt, and continued to walk forward, while replying loudly, "That book belongs to the school library, come and buy you a new one next time!

In this way, after walking more than ten meters, the white aura was getting closer and closer, and a miserable scream came from behind Leng Buding.

It was Zhu Si's scream!

The screams were mixed with the roars of many beasts and the strange laughter of the beasts.

Zheng Qing's right leg, which had just been raised, hung in the air, and did not fall for a long time.

"Help...... Help me...... Save... Save..."

"Wow Wow ......"

"Don't come back, run wow, remember to break a few mirrors for me when you go out!!"

"Fuck off, you monsters...... Fuck off!"

"Mom...... I miss mom ......"

Zhu Si's cries and screams became more and more distant, as if he was being dragged by a nameless monster into the depths of the mirrored world. The wizard bit his lip hard, biting his mouth full of blood, and a layer of blood appeared between his eyes.

"Wait for me. ”

He replied inwardly, and then stomped heavily on his right leg, rushing towards the white aura without looking back.
