Chapter 16 The World in the Mirror
"Duke of Lancaster!?"

"That's right." Alhaz said proudly, "but strictly speaking, it's not the Duke of Lanster himself. I went to school at Fort University, I have met him a few times before, he is a very frivolous person, so let's find him."

Sean knows something about Little Lanster. This guy is a playboy, he likes to pursue and play with beautiful women, and he often appears in the local newspapers. However, the reason why he is in the newspapers is not because he likes to play with women. There are many such things The children of nobles can do it, but little Lancet is at best a bit of a scumbag.

What really made him famous in Sword Castle is because he likes to find various reasons to fight with people.

Sometimes it might be just because he took one more look at his woman, he would be thrown a white glove in the face.

Because he was trained by a famous teacher since he was a child, little Lanster was a master of swordsmanship, and in addition, Brighton is a society that values ​​honor, at least a dozen people died at his hands.

He has no psychological pressure on kidnapping such a person, but it is a bit difficult technically.

Sean hesitated for a moment, "It's a bit unrealistic, it's hard not to be discovered by kidnapping a duke's son, besides, I remember little Lanster is a master of swordsmanship, just the two of us..."

The meaning of the latter is self-evident. Excluding the status of professors, both of them are just ordinary people, not professionals in this field at all.

The danger of kidnapping a duke's son may not necessarily be less than the risk of blood poisoning.

"That's easy," Alhaz said mysteriously in a low voice, "we can go to Lanster's bedroom from the mirror world, tie him up while he's asleep, and then leave from the mirror. I don't know."

Sean was a little surprised: "What else can you do here?"

"Of course, you know, all mirrors are invisible portals into the world of mirrors, and now they're all like opening doors to me."

Sean thought that was a little too strong, "Did you just say 'we'?"

"Of course it's 'us'. I can't do this job alone. Don't worry. Although the phantom in the mirror deceived me, the deal between me and it has not expired. I can feel that I should be able to bring others into the The world in the mirror, if you don’t believe it, try it and you’ll know.”

"Will it be dangerous?"

"There is no danger. Oh, by the way, you must protect your own shadow in the mirror world. Once your shadow is taken away, you will have no way to return to the real world."

As he spoke, he walked up to the mirror and pressed his hand on the mirror. There was a wave of ripples on the mirror, like a pool of water. Alhaz walked in through the mirror.
Turning around, Alhaz in the mirror waved at him.

After hesitating for a while, Sean decided to take the risk. He put his hand on the mirror, but what he touched was a smooth entity. Alhaz in the mirror grabbed his hand and dragged him in. .

Sean staggered, and the next second he had appeared in a strange world.

The world in front of me is quite strange, the surrounding environment is exactly the same as Alhaz's room layout, but after careful observation, it can be found that the direction of all objects is opposite, the door that was originally on the left is now on the right.

Looking back, the mirror is the exit, and he can still see everything in reality through the mirror.

He took a few steps forward, feeling a sense of dislocation that reversed time and space.

Although the surrounding environment is exactly the same as in reality, after a little observation of Xiao En, he found that this phantom-like room is limited to the part that can be reflected in the mirror, and outside this boundary, everything has turned into a cloud of smoke s things.

Even the objects reflected in reality were ethereal and ethereal, like solidified mist. He tried to pick up a cup, but only got a phantom.

"Come here, Sean!" Alhaz's voice came through the wall behind him. Sean passed through the phantom wall, and what appeared in front of him was a world that could not be described in words.

There are long stone bridges extending in all directions, connecting dilapidated ruins.

There are also countless complex and huge buildings. These buildings seem to have gone through a long period of time, so that none of them is complete. He can't tell the specific era from the style of the building.

However, all of them have an ancient tone. At first, Sean instinctively wanted to estimate the length and number of those stone bridges, but he quickly gave up because there was no end in sight.

He looked towards the sky, there was no sun in the sky, only a pale light cast down from the hazy and sparse gray mist.

In addition to the gray fog that can be seen everywhere, he also saw the stairs that reach the sky, I don't know how high they are, the stairs pass through the gray fog, the top leads to places he can't see, and the others lead down to complete darkness among.

He stood on the stone bridge and looked down. The surrounding rivers were filled with stagnant water. The light was dim, and it looked like a dark pool.

Everything in front of him made Xiao En feel inexplicably shocked. Standing beside Alhaz, he looked at everything around him blankly.

"It's spectacular, isn't it?" Alhaz said.

"It's really spectacular." Sean said, and suddenly saw a magnificent building rising from the depths of the ruins. Even though it was dilapidated, signs of that grandeur could still be seen, from all the rocks, Shadows and the underside of broken walls are revealed.

"Where is that place?" He asked, pointing to the distant ruins.

"Who knows, everything here is a mystery. To be honest, although I already know that this world hides all kinds of secrets, when I witness it with my own eyes, I still feel a little unbelievable. Is it true? Or is it an illusion produced by my brain falling into madness." Alhaz's muttering made Sean feel the same.

He understands that it is the doubts and contemplations that arise naturally when he witnesses things beyond human comprehension. This mirror world, which transcends common sense, brings people thinking and doubts, as long as they have a little curiosity, It is inevitable to fall into it.

He tried not to let himself get lost in it, "How are we going to kidnap Lancet?"

"See those mirrors?"

Xiao En looked in the direction Alhaz pointed, indeed, not far away, he could see a mirror suspended in the air.

There is more than one such mirror, just like the one behind him, it is the reflection of the mirror in reality, and each mirror reflects an afterimage in reality, which looks like many three-dimensional images suspended in the air.

"From here we can find the way to any mirror, each mirror is an entrance to the real world, I tried it before when I was trapped, and I can see everything in reality through those mirrors .

It's just that my shadow was stolen at that time, so I couldn't travel through the past, but it's different now.

The distribution of these mirrors is the same as that of the real world. We only need to find out where Lanster lives in reality, and then follow the corresponding directions to find it. "

Sean nodded. Although this is a stupid way, it does sound feasible.

"Are there any inhabitants in this world?"

"Probably not, this is a dead world, empty, but I'm not entirely sure, I've only been here for one day, let's go, let's get out of here first, this place makes my hair stand on end."

The two did not go deep into the world in the mirror, but returned to Alhaz's room along the mirror behind them.

Returning to reality through the mirror, stepping on the solid ground again, looking at everything around him, Sean felt a sense of relief.

The world in the mirror was indeed shocking, but it also terrified him.

The unknown always brings fear, but also questions.

who is it?The creation of those magnificent buildings, those endless stone bridges, what kind of civilization and history were recorded in those buildings, and the thoughts that he tried to suppress in the mirror world before, all came to his mind at this time, all of which made him feel fascinated.

Are they formed naturally?Or is it artificially created?Is it some kind of magic, or a technology he can't understand?He originally thought that this world was a scientific and rational world, but at this moment he suddenly realized what kind of mysterious and crazy side was hidden under this scientific and rational appearance.
