Chapter 177: Chapter 105: Space and Mirrors, Bizarre Garden

Fifteen minutes later, Ronan saw the Ponytail Witch, whose skin had been as red as a shrimp and seemed to emit white steam from her head, slowly return to normal. Her chaotic spiritual power fluctuations also finally stabilized.

"That... that mirror isn’t mine."

With the misunderstanding resolved, although the Ponytail Witch had calmed down, she was still too embarrassed to meet Ronan’s eyes.

"It was obtained by our small team while exploring a Secret Realm. Everyone has the right to use it; it was just entrusted to me for the sake of victory in a duel."

"Can you show it to me?"

Ronan saw the Ponytail Witch hesitate, but she obediently took out the Mirror Magic Tool he had seen before from her Waist Storage Bag and handed it to him.

In a sense, the Ponytail Witch was currently "held" by Ronan, so faced with his request, she could only comply.

Second-tier Magic Tool.

This was the first time Ronan had come into contact with a proper Second-tier Magic Tool... well, Demon Nightmare Tungsten Steel can only be considered a material of the second tier.

The mirror, about as wide as a palm, felt cold to the touch. One could clearly sense the faint fluctuations of Energy Particles and a mysterious and arcane rune aroma emanating from it.

The overall shape of the mirror was like an ellipse, its edges wrapped in an unknown silver-white material, carved with complex and exquisite patterns.

The front of the mirror displayed a bright silver color that was nearly transparent. If touched, it would create ripple-like waves.

The back was engraved with a symmetric double-circle pattern overlaid with a spiral twisted line in the center, resembling a symbol or a peculiar labyrinth.

"Mirror Court..."

Ronan gently touched the mysterious labyrinth pattern, his eyes flickering with light.

He took out a piece of the Mirror Magic Tool fragment from his Waist Storage Bag, which he had obtained during his apprenticeship, held it up against the complete magic tool in his hand, and found traces of an almost perfect match in the upper right corner.

His spiritual power infiltrated the complete Mirror Magic Tool, searching for the core rune within it, and the comparison results were the same.

"Indeed, it is a standard magic tool from the same line produced by the Mirror Court..."

Ronan exhaled softly, and then asked the Ponytail Witch again, "Would you mind if I reprint a copy of the rune inside?"

"You... can."

With the permission of the Ponytail Witch, Ronan took out a rune stone specifically used for recording and copied the complete rune pattern from inside the Mirror Magic Tool into the rune stone.

This was different from rune engraving; it was merely recording the shape of the rune, much like tracing a pattern onto a piece of paper. Only through the processes of engraving and enchantment could the rune be activated.

"Thank you."

After completing the replication, Ronan handed the Second-tier Mirror Magic Tool back to the Ponytail Witch, catching her off guard. She probably never expected Ronan to return the item to her.

"Where is the Secret Realm Space where you originally got this magic tool? Can you take me there?"

Ronan inquired, and the Ponytail Witch nodded, explaining, "It is an undiscovered hidden space. We haven’t fully explored it yet... to be precise, we hardly explored it at all. The arrays and dangers there are not something a Level 1 Wizard can handle..."

Ronan activated his Flying Ring, and together with the Ponytail Witch, they left the valley, chatting while flying.

In the Wizard World, there are several different classifications for Secret Realm Spaces, which can be artificially constructed or naturally formed.

Regardless of whether they are man-made or natural, they can be categorized as owned or unowned.

Owned Secret Realm Spaces, like the "Corpse Garden" Ronan had entered and the "Damp Jungle" they had just left, are typically discovered and fully explored by later individuals who then claim them privately.

However, some Secret Realm Spaces, once discovered and not yet fully explored, are considered "public" realms, open to anyone with sufficient strength.

In the region of the Silver Magic Ring, the most famous public Secret Realm is the ruins of the Mirror Court from the Ancient Wizard Force.

Ronan had been in the Magic Ring for a long time and had heard many rumors about the Mirror Court. The ruins of the Ancient Wizard Force’s Mirror Court had been discovered many years ago.

This region, including the Silver Magic Ring, hosts many powerful Wizard Forces exploring, but even now, they haven’t fully explored it.

It is said that the core area still hasn’t been opened. Those runes from ancient times, enduring through the long passage of time yet still mysterious and complexly impenetrable, have thwarted the steps of the powerful wizards.

The high-ranking members of various Wizard Forces are seeking the keys and means to open the core area of Mirror Court. The Nephilim’s Key, obtained by Hoddam Academy, is a Secret Treasure specifically used for opening Secret Realm Arrays and is also of ancient origin, but the wizard who invented the Nephilim’s Key is untraceable.

As a large gathering place of Ancient Wizards, the Mirror Court naturally has more than one Secret Realm Space within its scope.

Apart from the largest one at the center of the force territory, numerous small to even tiny Secret Realm Spaces have gradually appeared in the surrounding areas.

The small Secret Realm Space ruins where the Ponytail Witch and her colleagues found belong to the Mirror Court.

"...At that time, this magic tool was lying on the ground not far from the entrance to the Secret Realm. We obtained it quite easily."
