Chapter 167 Turbulence
"It seems you made a wise choice."

Seeing that the other party agreed to her proposal, Anastas couldn't help but smile on her face, and explained to Aaron again: "Okay, I know you still have a lot of questions in your mind, let me explain to you first. The situation of 'disaster'."

"First of all, you must know when and how the 'Magic Mirror Manor' was opened?"

Anasta's expression became serious, and she sat on the bar stool directly opposite Aaron, took out a small mirror from somewhere, and placed it on the table between herself and Aaron.

Aaron nodded slightly, acquiescing to Anasta's statement.

Seeing this, Anasta reached out and knocked on the small mirror, and with a 'click', the mirror shattered into pieces of small lenses, which were scattered messily on the table.

Then, Anastas pointed to one of the small lenses and explained: "Disaster, refers to a period of time before the opening of the 'Magic Mirror Manor', a turbulent flow that was automatically generated due to unstable space, also known as It's space turbulence."

"The spatial turbulence is connected to the interior of the 'Magic Mirror Manor', so the spatial turbulence will directly draw some people or other things near the Magic Mirror Manor into the interior of the Magic Mirror Manor—if you step on the turbulent flow , which is equivalent to buying a ticket for early admission."

"In addition, the place where the spatial turbulence appears has no regularity, and no one can predict where it will appear."

"However, it is worth mentioning that the space turbulence does not appear in a single place. For example, the place where the space turbulence occurs this time is not limited to the Twilight Tavern. There must also be turbulence in other places in Twilight Town. ——There are quite a few places where spatial turbulence opens, there are probably at least five places, or even more."

Speaking of this, Anastas's face obviously showed a trace of regret: "Under normal circumstances, on the eve of the opening of the Magic Mirror Manor, this turbulence will only appear once or twice. Simply put, It’s just that there are very few spatial turbulences, and there are many places where they appear.”

"The duration of this turbulent flow is quite short, less than a second, and there is no sorcery fluctuation, which makes it difficult for people to notice the turbulent flow in space-anyone who wants to enter the turbulent flow, really only It's a matter of luck."

"This situation is what we call the 'disaster' phenomenon."

After listening to Anasta's explanation, Aaron seemed to realize something: "So, it seems that boss Lucas unfortunately stepped on a turbulent current and was directly involved in the magic mirror manor."

"Because of the concealment of space turbulence, I didn't find any abnormalities—just like that, Boss Lucas disappeared in front of me 'unknowingly, without anyone noticing'!"

After Aaron figured out everything, he turned to ask: "Anasta, it seems that you are also planning to try your luck, so you came to Twilight Town a few days in advance, trying to get the early admission ticket Tickets—space turbulence, right?"

"You guessed right, that's exactly what I intend to do."

Anastas shrugged her shoulders, and said with some regret: "Unexpectedly, I still missed the opportunity of space turbulence, and yes, although there are many places for space turbulence, the frequency is very few and the duration is very short. It’s normal not to.”

"If you encounter it, it's really called luck—for example, the unlucky boss Lucas."

Anastas showed a regretful expression, and Aaron understood what the other party meant, because Boss Lucas was an ordinary person, and he was thrown into the interior of the Magic Mirror Manor rashly, and the fate was almost self-evident——

There is no possibility other than 'death'.

Anyone who enters the Magic Mirror Manor through spatial turbulence is equivalent to entering in advance, and it takes about three days to come out from the reopened manor entrance.

Even a phantom witch can't guarantee that he can survive for three days in the magic mirror manor. It's normal for one to lose his life if he doesn't do well.

Of course, "surviving for three days" is obviously much easier than "surviving for one year". As long as you are careful, witches with low strength may survive, and the benefits will definitely be huge at that time!
Therefore, high risks often represent high returns, and the returns of risk takers are always higher than those of safe ones——

Others could only enter the Magic Mirror Manor for eight hours, while the adventurer stayed for three days longer. The comparison of benefits between the two parties is naturally not the same.

Thinking of this, Aaron couldn't help sighing: "Anasta, you are really brave enough to plan to enter the Magic Mirror Manor by yourself in advance. Are you not afraid of dying in it?"

Anastas shrugged her shoulders and said fearlessly: "There is not much difference between 3 days and 8 hours. Anyway, they are both high-risk actions. Sooner or later, you have to go to the Magic Mirror Manor. And choose 8 The safe option of one hour may not be much safer than the option of three days, after all, no one can say for sure what is in the magic mirror manor."

"Since that's the case, I'll just choose whichever one gives the greatest return—it's a death anyway! It's all an act of selling your life, why not sell your life for a little more money?"

Hearing this, Aaron couldn't help agreeing: "You can see it, it seems that the cooperation between us is more pleasant, right, why did you choose to cooperate with me? Logically speaking, we should be in a competitive relationship?"

Anastasia waved her hand, "Probably because you are more pleasing to the eye, and the other batch of competitors are more difficult, and I can't handle it alone. If I have another partner, I can be more confident."

After finishing speaking, Anastas took a special look at Aaron, her eyes were clearly filled with a kind of "appreciation" of beautiful things by young girls - this reminded Aaron of the gazes of those noble girls back then.
Apparently, the "pleasing to the eye" mentioned by Anastas is just the plus point brought by Aaron's handsome appearance-as expected, this is a world that depends on faces.

Of course, the main reason is that the 'alliance' is in the interests of both parties, and the handsome appearance is just an additional point. At most, it can improve the favorability of the first impression, and it is their own interests that determine the final result.

Anastas pointed to a large pot of bean stew on the table, and said to Aaron: "Since Boss Lucas is gone, there is only this pot of ready-made food left—don't mind me Shall I share dinner with you? Anyway, this pot is enough for two people."

"Of course, you can eat as you please."

Aaron spread his hands, indicating that he didn't mind.

So, the two ate this pot of dinner together.

three days later,

Twilight Town has gone missing a few more people these days, including Lucas, the owner of the Twilight Tavern, which caused the remaining residents to be tortured almost crazy. If not for their property here, I am afraid that this The town has long since run away without a single person.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Aaron-wizards are not interested in the life and death of ordinary people.

At the same time, Aaron and Anastas walked together and came to a lake next to Twilight Town.

clap clap
A gust of wind blew past, and the night gradually fell on the edge of the lake.
