The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

"Are you sure this is the place? Moran's Witch's House?"

Vasita stood at the end of a weed-covered path, looking at the yard overgrown with weeds before her, and wondered if she had gone to the wrong place.
"This place is so old, so dilapidated, so desolate! It's only slightly better than the new student dormitories at the Witch Academy. Didn't Moran use a magic circle to protect the Witch's House?"

Sylph bent down and picked up a half-hidden, moss-covered stone slab from the fallen grass. She gently wiped away the dirt with her fingers, revealing clearly engraved words: "'Moran's Lakeside Cottage'..."

She straightened up and checked the coordinates again. "Yes, this should be the place."

Just then, Lilith also teleported over, and she was also startled by the environment: "Didn't all the witches who attended the opening banquet of Moran's Witch House say that Moran's Witch House is super luxurious? Even now, in the witch clan's group chat, some people are still saying that Moran's Witch House is their dream home, and this is it?"

“Let’s go in and take a look! Moran hasn’t been seen at all; he must be plotting something…” Sylph felt that this place shouldn’t be what it seemed. Intrigued, she used a little magic to cast a clearing spell, causing the weeds blocking her path to part automatically, making way. She went in and pushed open the half-closed courtyard gate:

"The plants in the yard are a bit messy, but the yard itself is still intact. It looks like the house was materialized from the card... It's probably just that no one has taken care of it for too long, and the protective magic has failed."

The three of them walked through the desolate courtyard and arrived at the door of the small house.

Vasita raised her hand, about to knock on the door, but suddenly stopped.

She looked at the door in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and turned to Sylph: "Uh... Sylph, you should do it! I'm a little worried that I might not control my strength and knock the door down."

The house really looks very fragile.

If it hadn't been manifested by the {Mobile House Card}, this house would probably have collapsed by now.

Sylph nodded knowingly, then extended her slender fingers and tapped the door panel three times very gently with her knuckles.

"Squeak-"

Almost the instant the knocking sounded, the wooden door was quickly pulled open from the inside.

Moran, who had been waiting behind the door, appeared before his three friends with a bright, mischievous smile: "So? Are you wondering why I live in a place like this?"

She deliberately wanted to see their surprised expressions when they saw the "dilapidated" appearance, which is why she refrained from opening the door to greet them beforehand.

However, with a hint of smugness in her eyes, she glanced subconsciously at the courtyard outside the door and was somewhat stunned.

She anticipated that the yard would become messy if it was left unattended for a long time, but she never imagined it would get this messy.

The ground was overgrown with weeds and thorns, and there was hardly a clean patch of ground to step on. It was truly a pity that the three of them still came in and knocked on the door.

"Uh..." A hint of embarrassment flashed across Moran's face, but this little mishap could not diminish her joy at the reunion.

She immediately stepped aside, making way for the interior space, and said in a light tone:
"...Come in! Don't be fooled by appearances; this is just one of the entrances to my witch's house."

Behind Moran, the silver-haired monkey Zhizhi, the little skeleton Kaba, and a tree root as thick as an arm greeted the witches obediently. Sylph followed the tree root and saw the window on the left side of the door, from which the tree root was extending in. She took a step back and glanced at the left side of the door from the outside.

Although there was a window there, its shape and size were different from those inside the door, and no tree roots extended from it.

"This is……"

"It's the Mirror Space!" Seeing the confusion and curiosity on her friends' faces, Moran finally stopped keeping them in suspense and revealed the answer with a smile. "This is a Mirror Space that I brought back from the Three Thousand Mirror Ruins World. After it recognizes its owner, it can enter at any time within a certain range. You are currently inside my Mirror Space."

She paused, then added, "By the way, I also made this into a card, it's the Mirror Space Card from the 'Otherworldly Treasures Series: Three Thousand Mirror Ruins'."

"That {Mirror Space Card}, which costs at least two trillion gem coins to buy?"

Lilith immediately chimed in, saying that she had noticed this exorbitantly priced item when she returned to Valencia, and the price was something she still couldn't forget.

“Yes, that’s it.” Moran nodded, confirming Lilith’s statement.

To make it more realistic for everyone, she simply took three friends and, just like she had led the other witches, toured around the witch's house.

Looking out the window at the tranquil pond, the vast green moss-covered meadows, the expansive plantations, the diverse ecological zones in the distance, and the magical clock that could connect the world... Vasita, Sylph, and Lilith's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"This is amazing! Compared to this, my current place is pitifully small!" Vasita waved her fist, already imagining what it would be like to have a mirror space, where she could create her own giant training ground and gourmet warehouse.

Sylph was particularly interested in the ecological zones and had already begun planning her future planting space layout in her mind: "The ecological environment of Cuixi Plain is still too monotonous. Many plants can only be grown in the space greenhouse. Once I have the Mirror Space, I will set up many ecological zones so that I can cultivate mutated plants when I go to other worlds to do missions!"

This is much more convenient than her plantation in Cuixiyuan.

Even with space to plant in pots, the plantation is still difficult to move around, and she often has to slow down her exploration of the other world because of the plants she needs to cultivate.

That's why she's visited the fewest other worlds so far.

Lilith had lower functional requirements for the Mirror Space, but she couldn't resist the allure of a portable home: "This is truly the most perfect witch's house!"

Almost immediately, the three of them opened the card shop at the same time and added the {Mirror Space Card} to their shopping carts, all of them choosing the customized version.

They began excitedly describing their ideal mirror space, and Moran quickly estimated the cost of a custom-made one based on their needs:
"Vashida, you want a large space to withstand high-intensity training, as well as some land to grow food... It adds up to at least eight trillion gem coins!"

"Lilith, your function to adjust the flow of time will cost a bit more, around five trillion gem coins."

“Sylph, you need to simulate multiple ecosystems, which is the most complex. The function of adjusting the flow of time also needs to cover all ecosystems, which is the most expensive, probably around ten trillion gem coins.”

The three, who had been so enthusiastic just moments before, froze instantly upon hearing these astronomical figures. (End of Chapter)
