The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 760 Three Thousand Mirror Ruins 27
Three days later, at dawn, half an hour before the meeting time set by Teacher Yan Shuang, all twelve students of Class 1, Grade 4, had arrived and were quietly waiting outside the mysterious Mirror Hall between the Starry Sky Building and the Bright Moon Building.

The mirror space they are about to travel to, "Colorful Wilderness," is a renowned two-star large mirror space. With its abundant resources and relatively controllable level of danger, it is recognized as an excellent training ground for one-star and two-star mirror explorers.

Not only does it produce one-star and two-star beast cores of various attributes, but it also nurtures a wide variety of magical materials, from minerals to herbs and even special biological materials. Moreover, there are no mirror beasts above the two-star level threatening the space, which means that while explorers can harvest resources, the pressure of survival is within an acceptable range of challenges.

The ownership and management rights of the Colorful Wilderness belong to the Donghua Alliance Education Department, while its physical space is directly managed by the Alliance Education Bureau.

Apart from a free dedicated teleportation portal at key high schools in each region under the Alliance's jurisdiction, there is only one paid public teleportation portal located in the Mirror Center at the Alliance headquarters, and the cost is exorbitant, far beyond the reach of ordinary Mirror users.

The free teleportation entrance from the Deer Cry Mirror to the Colorful Wilderness is located inside the Mirror Hall of Deer Cry Middle School, right in front of everyone.

This is a real and enormous resource advantage.

In fact, the Hall of Mirrors doesn't only have one entrance to the mirror space—the Colorful Wilderness. It also contains portals to two other medium-sized, one-star mirror spaces: the Mossy Stone Forest and the Water-Eroded Cave.

The ownership of the Green Moss Stone Forest Mirror Space belongs to the entire Deer Cry Mirror Realm.

All secondary schools in the country that have opened Mirror Exploration Classes have a free entrance to the Mossy Stone Forest in their Mirror Hall-like facilities, although the number of exploration slots each school receives each year varies depending on academic performance and resource allocation.

The water-eroded cave mirror space is the personal property of the founder of Luming Middle School. He made a will stipulating that the income generated by the space would be jointly inherited by the school and his descendants.

Therefore, not only is there a free entrance in the school's Mirror Hall for the use of the school's students, but half of the revenue generated from all the paid entrances of the Mirror Space in other places will be directly transferred to Luming Middle School's account to support the school's development, while the remaining half will belong to the founder's descendants and family.

However, neither the moss-covered stone forest nor the water-eroded caves can compare with the colorful plains in terms of spatial hierarchy, area size, diversity of resources, and energy concentration.

The highest rank of the mirror beasts and various materials inside these two mirror spaces is no more than one star, and their attributes are relatively limited.

It can be said that Luming Middle School has been able to maintain its position as the top middle school in Lumingjing for many years, enjoying the best students and teachers. Its exclusive privilege of free access to the Colorful Wilderness is undoubtedly a very significant advantage.

This is why the students in the first class of the Exploration Mirror program valued this experience so much, because apart from the colorful wilderness, there is no other place in Deer Sound Mirror that is so suitable for them to explore.

Other mirror spaces are either too dangerous or lack sufficient resources, making it difficult to find desired beast cores, and most also require an entrance fee to enter.

As soon as the appointed time arrived, Teacher Yan Shuang appeared precisely at the heavy doors of the Mirror Hall, as if calculated with perfect precision.

Without uttering any further words, her gaze swept over the twelve students already lined up and waiting with the coldness of lightning. After confirming that everyone was present, she uttered only one concise and powerful word: "Let's go!"

After saying that, she turned around and showed her access card, and the heavy door slid open silently inward.

Upon entering the Hall of Mirrors for the first time, almost all the students could not contain their curiosity and amazement, and their eyes were eagerly drawn to the interior.

The interior of the Hall of Mirrors is far more magnificent and profound than it appears from the outside. The dome hangs high, but it is not illuminated by ordinary lights. Instead, countless soft crystal glitters float in the air, illuminating the entire hall with a bright light that is not at all dazzling.

But the most striking feature is the three enormous mirrors standing in the center of the hall. These are not ordinary glass mirrors, but rather entrances to different mirrored spaces, each radiating a distinct aura and glow.

On the far left, the frame is made of rough, rustic gray-brown rock, as if it were formed naturally.

The mirror did not clearly reflect people's images, but instead presented a hazy scene with a faint green moss-like glow.

Upon closer inspection, one can almost see the outline of the jagged stone pillars and their slippery reflection, with a faint sense of dampness and the hollow sound of wind.

Look at the sign next to it; it's the entrance to "Mossy Stone Forest".

The mirror on the right has a frame with a complex mix of milky white, light yellow and grayish brown colors, and its surface is covered with meandering patterns and holes left by flowing water, making it look like a huge natural work of art.

Its mirror surface is not a calm reflection, but more like a dynamic, gently rippling "water curtain".

The water curtain is not completely transparent; it has a slightly milky, misty quality reminiscent of underground water. The water is deep and mysterious, and one can vaguely glimpse what appears to be a winding cave passage, hanging stalactite peaks, and the shimmering light of an underground river flowing behind it.

It is the entrance to a water-eroded cave.

The mirror in the very center is the most magnificent and unique.

Its frame is made of intertwined vines and colorful crystals, and there seem to be different leaves and flowers of the four seasons slowly blooming, withering and changing on the vines.

The mirror reflects a bizarre and ever-changing scene: one moment it is a field in full bloom, the next it is a scorching sun in the clear sky, and then it becomes an autumn forest with falling leaves or a snow-covered ice field... The scenery of the four seasons flows endlessly at a speed beyond nature, exuding a strong and chaotic aura of life energy.

This is their destination, the portal to the "Colorful Wilderness".

Without pausing, Teacher Yan Shuang walked straight to the colorful mirror that reflected the changing seasons.

She took out the access card again, but this time she didn't swipe it. Instead, she gently pressed it onto a crystal entwined with vines on the frame.

"Om..."

The scene within the mirror suddenly accelerated, then froze, finally forming a stable and deep entrance to a passageway that emitted a faint light, yet obscured the view on the other side.

"Keep up, don't stop, and don't touch the edge of the mirror!"

Yan Shuang gave the order without turning her head, her voice ringing out clearly in the empty hall.

She took the first step, her figure disappearing silently into the colorful mirror as if merging into the water, vanishing without a trace.

The students took a deep breath, suppressing their excitement, and one by one, carefully stepped into the ever-changing mirror.
