The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

The moss guardian's entire body trembled slightly, causing ripples to spread across the pond's surface.

Leaving this land where it was born, grew, and has protected for countless years?
Heading to a completely unknown place?

But you can spend time with your best friends and even become smarter!
Fear, hesitation, curiosity, longing... all sorts of simple and primal emotions flowed back like streams through the link of the Tree Friend Technique.

But ultimately, all emotions converged into a dominant, strong desire—complete trust in Moran's goodwill and a great longing to "become smarter" "with friends."

The thick root in front of Moran cautiously and tentatively wrapped around Moran's wrist, the movement as gentle as a wisp of moss.

Immediately afterwards, a clear and intense feeling of joy and anticipation surged within me:
"Good~"

Moran used a summoning spell to create a summoning contract.

Witches never force other creatures to become their pets. Even creatures without innate sentience can instinctively understand the core meaning of this pet contract: companionship, protection, and mutual growth, as well as the absolute safety and trust that will never harm each other.

Moran gently pushed the magical pet contract toward the Forest Moss Guardian, and the contract's light softly enveloped its massive body.

“This is a partnership agreement,” Moran explained clearly through the Tree Friend spell. “By signing it, we can sense each other’s feelings and state, and find each other no matter how far apart we are. We will share our power and grow together. Are you willing?”

The Forest Moss Guardian seemed to understand completely.

Without the slightest hesitation, all the hanging vines on its massive body swayed gently and joyfully.

It extended a slender, sensitive, emerald-green vine, like a human extending a finger, and carefully, with utmost solemnity, gently touched the pet contract.

The moment the tip of the vine touched the light of the contract, the entire contract suddenly burst forth with a warm yet not dazzling glow, transforming into two streams of light. One stream entered Moran's brow, while the other flowed along the emerald vine, instantly spreading throughout the entire body of the Forest Moss Guardian.

A clear, warm, and solid connection was established between Moran and the Forest Moss Guardians.

This power was like a key, instantly opening another door for the Forest Moss Guardians.

It almost immediately grasped how to respond to this summoning power and how to adjust its own form to adapt to its partner on the other side of the contract.

The massive, hill-like body of the Moss Guardian began to emit a soft, emerald-green light. Its enormous body, the moss covering it, and the hanging vines all rapidly contracted and condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The thick roots that were anchored by the pond easily rose from the ground, merging into the increasingly brilliant green light like a giant whale sucking in water.

In just a few breaths, the enormous Seven Star Mirror Beast vanished.

Instead, a piece of ancient wooden vine, about the thickness of a finger and a foot long, flew lightly toward Moran, like a fledgling returning to its nest, and gently wrapped around her slender wrist.

The vine is dark brown with natural wood grain on its surface. It feels warm and smooth to the touch, like jade, and has a slightly cool, damp feel.

A few tiny, faintly fluorescent emerald-green moss spots dotted the vine, like natural decorations.

Its wrapping force was gentle yet firm, as if it were a bracelet tailor-made for her.

Moran raised her wrist, her fingertips gently tracing the wooden vine, her tone light and cheerful: "Welcome to the team, my new partner. From now on, you'll be called 'Forest Moss,' how about that?"

The wooden vine on her wrist gently brushed against her skin, conveying a warm and contented feeling—it liked the name very much.

The Forest Moss Guardian has been properly settled; next up is this leaf-shaped, mirror-like spatial core. Feeding it directly to the Book of Cards now is definitely not an option.

The core of the space is the Mirror Space itself, and there are quite a few Mirror Beasts inside!

Hunting them one by one is too inefficient and prone to missing some.

Moreover, her future {Mirror Space Card - Forest Moss} can't be empty, just filled with plants and scenery!

Morans thought to himself that these ready-made 'residents' could be put in to enrich the ecosystem, and they would also be nice as ornamental animals.

Since there's no rush to leave anyway, she might as well make this mirror space her own first. Once she's made her own, the entire mirror space will be completely under her control, and she'll know exactly where the mirror beasts are.

She went to Jingxu University, so Sen Tai can finally have a place to settle down.

Once we find a place to temporarily house these Mirror Beasts, we'll take them out again. After the Book of Cards finishes analyzing the Mirror Space and creates the {Mirror Space Card - Forest Moss}, we'll put them back.

This will definitely restore the entire mirror space's ecosystem at the fastest speed.

Without hesitation, Moran's mental energy surged into the leaf-shaped lens like a flood, gradually imprinting his mental mark upon it.

As Yan Shuang's notes said, it is indeed true that recognizing a master in a mirrorless space, even a small one, is not an easy task.

Although it doesn't consume mental energy like beast core skills, it will exert a certain pressure on mental energy after it recognizes its master.

If the sense of oppression is too strong, the mental energy used for casting spells will be much slower.

The larger the space, the greater the sense of oppression.

However, if you have a high talent for using the scope, the pressure will be greatly reduced.

The Mirror Exploration talent is actually a spatial magic talent, and Moran has no problem with that.

A small mirror space doesn't pose much of a threat to her mental power, but to imprint her mental mark on it and complete the recognition process requires a considerable amount of mental power.

Moran estimated that he used at least 300 million mana of mental energy to successfully stabilize his mental imprint on the core of this mirror space.

The moment Moran successfully recognized the master, he felt a soft "hum" as his consciousness connected with the entire Mossy Forest Mirror Space.

A sense of omniscience and omnipotence arises spontaneously.

She doesn't need to move; with a thought, she can "see" every corner of the secret realm.

The flick of the tail of every fish swimming in the stream, the rustling of every moss mouse under the moss, the glimmer of light on the antlers of every glowwood deer in the forest…

As she was immersed in this peculiar perspective, the leaf-shaped lens in her hand rapidly drained her mental energy. Before long, Moran voluntarily broke free from this state.

It seems that this kind of detailed perspective is very taxing and difficult to maintain indefinitely.

However, the vague macroscopic sense of control over the entire mirror space can be maintained with very little mental energy. (End of Chapter)
