The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 806 Three Thousand Mirror Ruins 73
Discovery after discovery, rejection after rejection.

These naturally formed, mirror-like objects showed little reaction to her mental intrusion.

The spell of luck led her to reflective objects with "mirror" properties, but none of them were what she was looking for.

The information provided by asking for directions is vague and unclear, pointing to the entire space rather than a specific point.

The divination indicates no danger, but also no opportunity.

The art of prophecy is shrouded in a thick fog, offering little clear insight.

"We can't keep searching like this."

Moran leaned against the gnarled roots of an ancient tree, exhaled softly, and a trace of undisguised sorrow lingered between her brows.

The search for the core of the mirror space was progressing faster than she had anticipated. After two weeks of relentless, high-intensity exploration, progress was minimal.

This hidden realm is far more than the woodlands, streams, and ponds she sees before her; its underground roots may be even more extensive.

At this rate, attempting to complete a thorough search before the start of the school year is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Just as she was pondering a solution, a thick root of the Forest Moss Guardian, covered with dark green moss and fungi, slowly twitched beneath the soft moss at her feet, like the pulse of a sleeping giant.

She had seen this scene countless times in recent days, but at this moment, it flashed through her mind like a bolt of lightning.

The roots of these moss guardians have probably already silently spread and infiltrated every corner of the dense moss forest.

When it comes to understanding this mirror space, who can compare to the Seven Star Mirror Beast, which is almost everywhere in the secret realm?
The mirror beasts of the Three Thousand Mirror Ruins world possess powerful energy within their flesh and cores, yet they have never been known to develop true intelligence.

Although this Forest Moss Guardian is a seven-star plant-attribute mirror beast with tree roots covering the entire territory, it probably still only has the survival instinct of guarding its territory and absorbing energy, and has no ability to think or communicate.

"But...it's okay."

Its existence must have been unimaginably long to have grown to its current size.

It is itself a living history book recording the changes of the mossy forest!

The Witch's Tree Friend spell not only allows her to communicate with ancient trees, but also inspires their spirituality!
The fifth-tier Tree Friend Technique is even more powerful, allowing for friendly communication and interaction with all plants, enhancing their spirituality.

If the plants are young and lack spirituality, the communication step can be skipped, and their memories as plants can be directly accessed.

Instead of searching aimlessly like a headless fly, why not try asking the oldest "inhabitants" of this land itself?
The only thing to worry about now is that the Tree Friend Technique has no effect on Mirror Beasts with plant attributes.

Thinking of this, Moran dug away the green moss on the ground, found the roots of the moss guardian tree underground, and cast a fifth-tier tree-friend spell on it.

In an instant, an indescribable, vast, and hazy perception flowed back through her magic!
The anticipated obstacles did not materialize.

The tree-friendship technique not only did not fail, but its effect was surprisingly good!
What she sensed was no longer the primordial, undeveloped consciousness of ordinary plants, but a deeper, more vast spirituality, yet intimately connected to the forest and the earth.

Although spirituality is new, it has already undergone the baptism of thousands of years and is older than ordinary ancient trees.

This spirituality contains no complex thoughts or language, but is filled with the purest emotions.

There is the joy of being soothed by pure natural energy, and gratitude for this kindness and enlightenment.

"It's a success!" Moran was overjoyed.

Although this Moss Guardian is still a Mirror Beast, it still possesses the characteristics of a plant.

Moreover, it seemed to be more receptive to the spiritual inspiration of the Tree Friend Technique than ordinary plants, as if it was already destined to develop spirituality, only lacking an opportunity, which her Tree Friend Technique had provided. Moran immediately focused her mind, transmitting her thoughts through the bridge constructed by the Tree Friend Technique.

She transformed her intention to find the core of the Mirror Space into vague images and pure emotional fluctuations, which she then conveyed to the Forest Moss Guardians.

She "depicted" the smooth mirror surface, the ripples of spatial fluctuation, and the feeling of something unique that sustains the entire secret realm.

At first, all that came back was the warm pulse of the forest as a whole, the sound of flowing streams, the subtle rustling of growing moss, and the gentle footsteps of the luminous forest deer.

But soon, as Moran's thoughts continued to be transmitted and the Tree Friend Technique deepened, the ancient spirit seemed to understand her request.

A more specific fragment of memory, linked by the Tree Friend Technique, flooded into Moran's mind.

The perspective is initially low and close to the ground.

The surrounding area is moist and fertile soil rich in energy.

In the center of a hazy, faintly glowing green expanse, something lay quietly.

The thing was shaped like a leaf, but its texture was definitely not that of a plant.

Its entire body presents a warm silver color, with a surface as smooth as the finest glass and edges as thin as cicada wings. Even in the dim light of memory, it faintly reflects the blurry images of the surrounding soil and roots, closely connected with the atmosphere of the entire space.

The "protagonist" of the memory seems to be the still small and tender moss guardian, whose roots are carefully and almost instinctively growing against that silver "leaf," like a seedling seeking a warm foundation.

It can sense the comforting and calming energy emanating from this "leaf," and it is this energy that makes the soil here exceptionally fertile and the surrounding moss exceptionally lush.

Time flew by amidst the fragments of memory, and the roots of the moss guardian grew thicker and thicker, slowly wrapping and entwining the silver leaf.

As its root system grew, the silver leaves were also hidden underground.

The fragmented memories ended abruptly there.

Moran suddenly opened her eyes, her breathing slightly rapid.

It turns out that the core of the Forest Mirror Space had long been tightly wrapped and protected by the roots of this Forest Guardian, hidden deep beneath the pond.

No wonder she couldn't find any trace on the ground no matter how hard she searched.

She had a feeling that she hadn't made a mistake this time.

Moran used another Tree Friend spell to convey to the Forest Moss Guardian her desire for the "Silver Leaf".

Before she could even promise to use tree-friendship techniques to help it enhance its spirituality, the tree root raised a small tip and tugged at her clothes in one direction.

"You want me to go to the place where your true form grows?"

The tree root nodded.

Moran knew where its true form was, and it wasn't far from here.

When she reached the large pond in the heart of the mossy forest, the mossy guardian, covered in thick moss and vines, pulled up its roots buried deep in the ground and stretched them out in front of her.

The fine roots on the tree spread out, revealing the silvery leaves inside.

"Here you go~"
