"This is something I found in the ruins of a castle, back when..."

Soro was about to explain to Gu Xi where the mirror shard came from, but Gu Xi had already taken it into his own hands and picked it up.

[Dead Magic Mirror (Green): This was originally an omnipotent and omniscient magic mirror, but it deceived its master, bringing disaster upon them. Before its master died, she personally killed this deceitful magic mirror.]

Looking at the information that popped up in front of him, Gu Xi was even more surprised.

He initially picked up this mirror because the aura of death on the mirror attracted him.

Gu Xi had seen Dead Cities, but he had never seen a Dead Magic Mirror, so he was a little curious.

But he never expected that there would be such a story behind this mirror.

"Wait, tell me again, where did this mirror come from?"

Holding the mirror, Gu Xi interrupted Soro's boasting.

Soro, far from being angry, quickly replied, "In the castle ruins behind the woods over there, the woods with a lot of wild boars. I heard that the woods have so many wild boars that they can't even mine the iron ore there."

As Soro spoke, he pointed in a direction.

However, the area he pointed to was quite large, and Gu Xi looked in the direction Soro was pointing, but he couldn't see anything.

"Alright, I'll take this mirror shard."

"Great, I won't haggle with you. I only want thirty-five pounds, or equivalent gold or other things, of course."

So expensive? Gu Xi frowned, once again feeling poor.

But he turned his hand over and took out a Ghastly Rat Skin and asked, "How about this?"

Soro was able to find so many special mirrors, so he naturally had some perception of ghastly auras.

The moment Gu Xi took out the Ghastly Rat Skin, Soro knew that this thing was no worse than the mirrors inside his windbreaker.

"It's okay, but the quantity isn't enough. You know, these small skins are hard to sell, I..."

Soro bargained while quickly calculating in his mind that if he could get a few more Ghastly Rat Skins like this, he could modify his windbreaker again, so that the power from the ghastly mirrors he collected wouldn't dissipate so easily.

But a merchant, although he wanted it in his heart, still made more demands.

Gu Xi had been wandering around the flea market for so long, he already had some understanding of the prices here.

He knew that items with obvious ghastly auras like this were not cheap in the hands of ordinary people.

"Two skins at most, take it or leave it."

Hearing Gu Xi's tone, Soro immediately agreed.

"Alright, two skins it is."

He seemed afraid that Gu Xi would be unwilling to trade.

Gu Xi was a little speechless at this situation. He couldn't say that this silly kid didn't know which things were expensive and which things were cheap, right?

He could only say that the level of the flea market here was relatively low, and the scope of contact was relatively limited.

In this way, Gu Xi finally avoided the embarrassment of having no money on hand, and after handing over two Ghastly Rat Skins, Gu Xi also put away the Dead Magic Mirror.

Then he asked, "Are there any other things in the box?"

"Yes, there are."

Seeing that there was more business to be done, Soro quickly opened the bottom of the box.

The next layer of the box also contained a mirror, but this one was different from the Dead Magic Mirror. The mirror in front of him was full of ghastly aura.

This aura was much stronger than the mirrors inside Soro's windbreaker, but Gu Xi could tell at a glance that this mirror was essentially no different from the garbage in the windbreaker.

[Praying Ghastly Mirror (White): A mirror that has been transformed after a ghastly believer prayed to it every night at twelve o'clock, attracting ghastly energy. This mirror can summon a ghastly being with a level no higher than 5 (Note: The summoned ghastly being is not controlled by the summoner).]

This thing could only be considered average, not as good as the Dead Magic Mirror. Gu Xi glanced at it, looked up and said to Soro, "One skin, take it or leave it."

"Okay, sold!"

Seeing this, Soro knew that this was a big customer, so he quickly handed the Praying Ghastly Mirror to Gu Xi and quickly opened the third layer.

This layer also contained a mirror. After opening this third layer, Soro sighed and said, "This is the last one. Besides this, I don't have any other mirrors of better quality on hand."

Gu Xi lowered his head and saw that this mirror was a vanity mirror with gold trim, and this vanity mirror also carried a strange aura.

[Ghastly Rule Mirror (White): A mirror on which three rules, both true and false, can be written. It uses these rules to form a ghastly field to kill intruders. Each kill allows for one rule modification, up to a maximum of three people (0/3)]

Looking at the information of the vanity mirror in front of him, Gu Xi suddenly thought of the mirror wrapped in the luggage on the steam bus before.

This Ghastly Rule Mirror is the same type as the mirror that Gu Xi smashed, except that the mirror in front of him is much smaller, and the number of rules that can be written is not that many.

A total of only three rules can be written, and Gu Xi believes that this kind of rule is definitely not one that can directly kill people.

There must be other explanations inside.

"This is a bit interesting, a piece of skin."

"Don't! Add a little more, this thing is really hard to come by. The other two were found by myself, but this thing was obtained from the Cultist, which was quite dangerous."

"How about this, I'll add another piece of skin, but you have to find me ten pounds in cash."

Gu Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally stated his request.

Soro didn't want to agree at first, but the Ghastly Rat Skin that Gu Xi took out was too important to him. In the end, he gritted his teeth, "Okay, consider this a major hemorrhage for me, it's settled."

After handing over the Ghastly Rat Skin, Gu Xi didn't want the lead box, and casually put the three mirrors into his backpack.

Soro then rummaged around his body for some coins, scraping together ten pounds and handing them to Gu Xi.

"Thanks!"

After putting the money away, Gu Xi felt confident, and he continued to stroll around the flea market.

However, this time Gu Xi did not encounter a merchant like Soro again.

After wandering around a few times, Gu Xi, finding nothing good, had the idea of returning to the city.

However, looking up at the sky, Gu Xi still found a small Tavern nearby and sat down.

"Is there anything you can recommend?"

"Yes, our most famous dish is pigeon pie!"
