I swapped my life with me

"Also." The young man supported the mirror frame, and repeated the contents of the note from yesterday: "Today's strawberry mousse is only seven-point salty, no pepper, and less brown sugar."

The girl in the tutu didn't seem surprised by the request. She was still enthusiastic, and turned around to invite another clerk: "Sasha, take this handsome guest to the private room on the second floor and choose a good seat."

Then he turned to Mu Xuesong and said, "Dessert needs to wait for 7 minutes, I will let Sasha take you upstairs, I wish you a pleasant meal~"

Mu Xuesong nodded to her, didn't speak any more, followed Sasha directly through the lobby, and went up to the second floor from the spiral staircase in the northwest corner.

But Sasha didn't seem to really want to send him to some private room on the second floor.

Holding her skirt up, she turned around and made several gestures to the guests, as if to say "Don't run around, please follow me".

Only then did Mu Xuesong realize that the little girl was probably dumb.

After signing in sign language, Sasha raised her foot again and walked up the stairs leading to the third floor.

Mu Xuesong put his hands in his trouser pockets, keeping a certain safe distance from her, and trailed behind her at a leisurely pace.

The two stepped up to the third floor one after the other, passed by two tall waiters standing at the stairs, then turned left, and walked to the end of the empty corridor. Only then did Sasha stop, and lightly tapped the button on the left hand side. A metal gate.

Someone on the other side of the door asked sullenly, "Who?"

Sasha raised her hand and knocked a few more times, with different lengths, as if she was responding to the questions of the people in the room.

The person inside asked again: "What are you here for?"

Salsa is still just knocking.

After repeating this for three rounds, the people inside were finally satisfied, and opened the door a crack with a click.

Salsa immediately took two steps back, bowed slightly to Mu Xuesong, and made a "come in" gesture.

Mu Xuesong suppressed all his emotions, walked over with a blank expression as Ulysses had explained before, raised his hand and pushed open the slightly heavy metal door.

To his surprise, there was only a small room inside the door.

The lights in the room were not turned on, and two black candles were placed on the small tea table, and the candles were burning brightly.

In the flickering light and shadow, a short man in a cloak stood in the middle of the room.

His face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, behind him stood a simple and old full-length mirror, and in front of him was a half-person-high trolley, which was piled up with strange masks, badges of different styles, walking sticks, top hats, and Dark cloak.

The short man raised his head, and by the faint candlelight, Mu Xuesong found that he was also wearing a mask.

The masked man waited for him to approach slowly and stopped a meter away from him before saying in a rough and hoarse voice, "Please show me the credentials."

certificate.

Ulysses had specifically explained this to him before.

Mu Xuesong reached into his arms, took out a silver card from the inner pocket of the windbreaker with two fingers, and handed it to the masked man calmly.

This is exactly the strange card that Mu Xuesong found in Mu Xue's purse when he first came to Zelda.

The masked man stretched out a wrinkled hand. He flipped through the card back and forth. He first checked the blue badge composed of stars and scepters in the lower left corner, and then placed the card on his left wrist with satisfaction. , and lightly brushed against the feel of a metal armband.

After the buzzing sound, the masked man returned the card to Mu Xuesong, and his tone became much more gentle when he spoke: "Welcome, respected mage."

Immediately afterwards, he pointed to the cart in front of him: "Please choose your disguise, and then walk into the mirror door. The mage assembly is on the other side of the door. Please strictly abide by the assembly rules. Finally, I wish you Late pay off."

Mu Xuesong nodded: "I see, thank you."

After speaking, he looked down at the pile of sundries on the cart, and picked up a silver mask with a long bird's beak that symbolized the epidemic doctor.

The young man took off his hat and glasses, lowered his head and put the mask on his face.

After finishing the mask, he grabbed a dark green cloak, shook it off and raised his arms to cover himself completely inside. The hood covered half of his face, revealing only the sharp silver-gray beak.

The masked man standing aside pointed to the rows of badges on the cart, and said again: "Please choose one at random, this is your 'passport' for tonight's rally."

The shape of each badge is different, and this Ulysses has also mentioned it to Mu Xuesong—the standard of all badges is recorded, and there are hidden magic mechanisms inside.In order to prevent someone from counterfeiting the badges, the mage responsible for issuing the badges will also destroy all the remaining badges that have not been issued after closing the mirror door.

Mu Xuesong stopped to observe, his eyes paused, and then he raised his hand to pick up the badge on the far left.

I saw a cluster of burning black flames engraved on the dark red round badge.

The masked man took a look and nodded: "Abyss Fire, a good choice." Presumably the young mage in front of him should be good at fire or cunning magic.

No, I just like a band called Black Fire.Mu Xuesong secretly cursed in his heart.

Seeing that the black-haired young man finished dressing, the masked man moved aside to let out the floor-to-ceiling mirror behind him.

Mu Xuesong pulled up his hood, followed Mu Xue's example, and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling mirror without saying a word.

Just as he was about to hit the mirror, the young man raised his leg and passed through the smooth mirror.

The mirror surface rippled like water, and the light enveloped him. Mu Xuesong felt dazzled for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he seemed to have come to a brand new environment.

There were people passing by him all the time.

The sound of small footsteps, whispers, and the rustle of the robe when it was dragged on the ground, all passed through the hood and beak mask, and reached Mu Xuesong's ears.

"It seems that this is the real place for the mage gathering." He took off the backpack, unzipped it, and the black cat, which had been stuffy for a long time, immediately came out with a whimper, clinging to the young man's arm with all four legs, and still Persevere and continue to climb.

Mu Xuesong: "...Hey, that's enough, I don't believe that you had the same virtue when Mu Xue was around!"

"Of course I don't dare to be so presumptuous." Ulysses scoffed, "But you, I'm not afraid, hmph."

Mu Xuesong rolled his eyes, and finally let it sit on top of his head, as if it was a strange puppet toy.

He looked around: "What should we do now?"

At this time, they were standing in a huge circular square made of green bricks. At a height of 40 meters above their heads, there was a ceiling of the same texture. There were no windows around them, and they all relied on a row of huge black candles hanging on the wall to maintain lighting.

It is strange to say that ordinary wax light should be dim and difficult to see, but the light of these black candles can cover the entire square without being dazzling, so that people will not be unable to see the environment around them and the road under their feet. Very novel.

Mu Xuesong glanced at the candles, and then cast his gaze for a moment on the dozen or so gates that were open at the edge of the square.

"The air here is humid and cold, and I feel like I'm in the ground." He put his backpack back on his back and said softly.

The Ulysses regiment was above his head, it was also observing the environment, and responded in a low voice: "This is the ruins of the underground palace of San Barro, one of the former magic metropolises, and the last mage gathering was held here Yes. To be honest, this is a good thing for us, after all, I am familiar with this place."

Mu Xuesong looked around and sighed, "Magic Metropolis, it sounds like this place should be very large."

"That's right, if San Barro is completely open, we won't be able to visit all the corners in a day. However, the mage assembly is only a few hours, and they will definitely not open all the places." Ulysses turned his tail Wrapped around the young man's neck, he swayed gently from side to side, and said in his mouth, "Hey, don't stand here and look stupid, go ahead quickly, and then find a door to go in first. It's too late for us to stop here. It's an eyesore."

makes sense.

Mu Xuesong caressed the cold beak of the mask, then he really picked a direction at random, and walked slowly forward with his feet.

While he was walking, figures in cloaks continued to appear in the open square one after another. Mu Xuesong watched them stay in place for a few seconds, as if they were also looking at the surrounding situation. When they were somewhere, these people hurried towards the edge of the square and disappeared into the shadows behind a certain door.

Mu Xuesong retracted his gaze without a trace, and stepped into the gate directly in front of him.

××××××××××

Earth plane.

The knock on the door has lasted for five or six minutes, and there is still no tendency to stop.

Mu Xue put down the pen in her hand, and silently squeezed her swollen temples.

He leaned his body on the back of the chair, used 30 seconds to empty his mind, and forcibly pulled himself out of the huge computing ocean.

"Xedong? Are you there, Xuesong? Mengmeng! Is your father at home?"

"Wow! Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa—!"

Mu Xue: "..."

Too bad, he was too involved in the research before, and he had already forgotten that this is not a remote town on the Zelda continent, and he is not the lonely young man who didn't interact with others.

The self in this world has friends, and they care about "him" very much.

Because of this, Mu Xue became even more silent, because he found that if he didn't want to be exposed, he had to raise his spirits to deal with this group of bluffing young people.

"Old Mu, are you really not here? I counted dozens of times, but if no one answered, I'll find the property owner to pick the lock!"

Mu Xue closed her eyes, then opened them again.

A few seconds later, he simply pushed aside the chair and stood up, gathered up the pile of manuscript papers on the table, tidied them up, and stuffed them into the drawer, before turning around and walking to open the door.

When passing by the bathroom, the dog barked and whimpered, Mu Xue didn't stop at all, and directly ignored Mengmeng's call.

He walked to the entrance, adjusted his state again, pressed his hand between his eyebrows to suppress his soul, and then slowly opened the door.
