Vol 5 Chapter 88: Zhu Si

Zheng Qing reacted for a while before realizing that the little girl's name was Zhu Si.
Immediately, he realized what the little girl had just revealed.
"They can eat people?" The young public servant looked around nervously: "Who are they...?"
"The elves in the mirror," the little girl whispered, "but I prefer to call them the mirror demon, the elves in the mirror. They like to pretend to be other people and use their voices to talk about other people... Something more fake than them! It's more fake than a wizard saying'I love you' to the murloc!"
This is not like what a seven or eight year old girl would say.
"Why do they do that?"
"In order to replace others." Zhu Si's small face was tight, and looked very serious: "As long as it is fake enough, it can be fake, civet cat for prince, stealing for prince!"
There are also sets of small idioms.
There was a trace of interest on the wizard's face, and he continued to ask:
"They are in the mirror, how can they eat people?"
There was a look of contempt on Zhu Si's face: "Why are you so stupid! Can you only use your mouth? What is the most important thing about a person? It is the spirit! It is the soul! They can pollute your spirit without knowing it! Suck away Your soul!"
"It's so terrible." Zheng Qing sighed, looking over the girl's head and looking at the hidden mirrors behind her.
"It always feels like your sight is very impolite." The little girl put her arms on her chest, raised her head, and looked at the big boy in dissatisfaction.
Zheng Qing was a little bit dumbfounded.
"I think... I just thought that you are the wizard of the world in the mirror." He spread his hands and explained.
"Me? The elves of the world in the mirror?!" The little girl had an expression of "you are blind", pointed her fingers around, and drew a big circle: "Those guys are the elves of the world in the mirror... Am I such a pretty, cute, clever and talkative elf? No!"
Zheng Qing's mouth twitched.
This is a little talkative, narcissistic, and kind-hearted girl, he commented in his heart-of course, it may also be a sinister, treacherous and vicious true goblin.
Zheng Qing is still not sure which one it is. But he preferred the first one, because neither his instinct as a wizard nor the screening magic he had just quietly used did not notice that the little girl had any malicious intent against him.
On the contrary, he felt a deep sorrow under the little girl's cheerful and serious tone. Wrapped around her, it hasn't dispersed for a long time.
"How old are you?"
"This question is very rude!" Zhu Si opened his eyes wide: "Mom said, you can't tell the boys their age casually. Unless you promise to marry me."
This is really not what a seven or eight year old girl would say.
Zheng Qing skipped this topic immediately.
He still has trouble with a tree, a cat, and a fox. He doesn't want to mess with a mirror at all.
"I mean, you don't seem to be very old." The wizard changed his question.
"I can change diapers by myself at the age of three!" The little girl glared at him unconvincedly: "Does age have anything to do with ability?! Gan Luo became a great wizard at the age of twelve, and Kong Rong could discover it at eight." The nine uses of "Jiao Li"... Compared with them, I am not at all younger."
Zheng Qing couldn't help but smile.
"Wow, it's amazing." He praised it sincerely, rubbing the book in his hand, and asked deliberately: "Listen to this... Are you a wizard?"
"Replace it like a fake!" Zhu Si tugged at the old robe on his body with a full expression: "The special wizard robe made by the Institute of Traditional Magic Tools of the First University is warm in winter and cool in summer. It also repels insects and mosquitoes and ward off evil spirits!"
Zheng Qing is not sure if there is a difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter in the mirror, or whether there are mosquitoes.
But he was pretty sure that Zhu Si should have been in this world for a long time.
Because the "First University Institute of Traditional Magic Tools" is the predecessor of the "First University Institute of Applied Magic", that name has been abandoned for more than 50 years.
The wizard's expression became a little serious:
"Since you are a wizard, why are you here?"
"You have always asked me to answer, and I will ask you this question too." Zhu Si hugged his arms, looking like a small adult, and snorted: "Why are you here? Are you looking for someone?"
Oh, she came to the mirror world to find someone.
Zheng Qing thought silently in her heart, very suspicious that Zhu Si was a kid who was lost in hide-and-seek in the mirror world when the "Witcher's Code" was not perfect.
"I'm here to learn." He told the truth honestly: "The teacher seems to want me to understand the true meaning of this world."
The little witch gave him a sympathetic look.
"You must be the kind of apprentice who was abused by the master," she stood on tiptoe and patted the wizard's arm comfortingly: "I heard my mother say... I heard that you all sleep on the floor of the wizard tower at night and eat all your food. If you are not full, you will be thrown into dangerous places by your master to do magic experiments."
Zheng Qing was a little bit dumbfounded.
The situations Zhu Si mentioned have indeed happened in history. Before the establishment of the First University and the Wizarding Alliance, old-school wizards were inherited from families and apprentices, and it was very common to squeeze apprentices.
Even now, many children of the wizard family have heard the elders scare people when they were young, similar to ‘if you are not obedient, you will be given to Gellert as an apprentice’.
Gellert was a famous dark wizard in the early twentieth century. It is said that he likes to turn his apprentice into a slippery snake or a soft slug—no one likes to be a slug.
"How long have you been here?" Zheng Qing touched his forehead~EbookFREE.me~ and stuffed the barrel of the Colt python back into his mind-since just now, Zhu Si has been staring at it. An eager expression. Zheng Qing was worried that she would jump up and grab the barrel and swing.
There was a look of disappointment on the little witch's face.
"Two or three months." She muttered, her disappointment disappeared, and she became a little more annoyed: "I came in quietly... I remember the book said that the world in the mirror can lead anywhere... …I intend to surprise my parents. But I got a little lost after I came in."
Having said this, she cautiously looked around, motioned Zheng Qing to bend down, and then leaned to the wizard's ear: "They are doing very important magic experiments in a very secret organization! Usually they can only be contacted through the double-sided mirror..."
Then she left the wizard's ear, carried her hands on her back, walked to the side, sighed heavily, and looked back at the young wizard, her eyes full of pity.
"My escape technique is very good," she seemed to cheer herself up, and also seemed to comfort Zheng Qing: "You don't have to worry about me... I think you are the guy who needs to be worried. I have never seen you like this. Daredevil...break a mirror directly when you come in. Don't you know that the worst thing in this world is to break a mirror?"
