It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

Ella interrupted Rosa and shook her head.

"It's not a misunderstanding, but you don't have to worry about it. It doesn't matter if I'm not the executor now, tell me what happened on the island?"

Although she still cares a little about this matter, for Rosa, who has only initially solved the mysterious world, the grudge between the executor and the principal is still too far away.But as Ella said, she can solve mysteries even if she's not the Executor, and in that sense she's much more reliable than anyone else who isn't here.

"It's the way it is."

Rosa looked sad,

"Since a month ago, boats near the island have often been attacked by underwater things - they look like mermaids in fairy tales, except that these monsters come ashore at night and attack coastal livestock and residents."

"Not only that, the forest has also become strange and dangerous... Our hunters saw huge figures in the rain forest, as well as man-eating plants, like-"

Her expression turned to horror,

"It's as if all the stories that are circulating have become true!"

Ella took a sip of the gradually cooling tea and thought for a moment.

Not only Tangerang Island, this change is going on in every corner of the world. Even the executors who have concentrated a large number of senior wizards are beginning to be unable to handle all events - of course, she can't either.

She glanced at Rosa with some doubts,

"With all due respect - the situation on the island seems to be relatively stable now, but you don't seem to be a real wizard. How do you fight against those dangers?"

As if she guessed that Ella would ask this question, Rosa nodded.

"I'm not the only one protecting the town... Do you remember Mr. Suharto?"

Suharto... Suharto...Aila said the name silently several times, and then got a shock.The girl's voice became louder unconsciously, she asked in disbelief.

"You mean the townspeople who were turned into ghouls?"

"Yes, thanks to their existence, otherwise this town would have been finished."

Ella was speechless for a moment.Even putting aside her personal point of view, Mr. Principal's actions have gradually exposed more problems.

If the executor's consistent guidelines were followed, those ghouls would have been purified.Ironically, their existence has now become a barrier to protect the safety of Tangerang Town.

The number of executors is limited, and they are unable to solve more and more mysterious events, but the wonderful symbiotic relationship on this marginal island seems to have opened up a brand new path.

Thinking of this, Ella drank the cold tea in the cup and stood up in a hurry.

"I will find a way to solve the problems here, can you take me to meet them?"

Chapter 7 Hope in Heart (Add more)

Ayla carved enchantments along the reefs along the coastline, and left behind her magical breath.Merfolk are barely intelligent beings, and they may raid unprotected shallows, but they won't land on islands where there are obvious signs of wizards.

The girl has stored at least [-]% of her magic power in this enchantment. She uses the mermaid scales collected by Rosa in several raids as a medium. Creatures with the same characteristics and malicious intentions will trigger the enchantment when they land on the island. counterattack mechanism.The pale fire ignited by the flame spirit's projection is enough to ignite the flammable fat in the mermaid's body into an inextinguishable torch.

This can be said to be a rather delicate arrangement, fully enough to be used as an example in Kraft's advanced textbook on magic rituals and enchantment.But even a wizard like Ella can only protect a limited area. How long can the wizards who can cast this spell in this world protect the coastline?

Ella carved a symbol on the last rock, and turned to look at Miss Rosa who was walking this way.

"It seems you have already communicated with them?"

"Mr. Suharto is over there by the lake in the rainforest. He only wants to see you alone."

Ella nodded, understandably.Even if the old ghoul is willing to believe in his good intentions, he cannot bet on his entire tribe. A high-ranking wizard can completely bring them a devastating blow.

The scope of Tangerang Town has obviously shrunk inward, and the fence has divided an empty area between the rainforest and the village.

When Ella first looked at the rainforest, she couldn't help but frown. Although it was a sunny day, the light within the rainforest seemed too dim.Those densely growing plants are crowded together in layers, robbing every inch of space and nutrients in the rainforest.

Their shape is distorted, making it almost impossible to recognize the original species.The girl couldn't help having a strange thought, could plants go crazy too?

"We used a sickle to open a passage at noon three days ago, but today the road is gone again. A month ago, this process would have taken a week. If this continues, we may need to mobilize a whole logging team Keep working to keep the town from being swallowed by the forest."

Rosa looked worried.

Ella thought for a while, and pointed forward with her index finger, letting a gray-white light spot the size of a pigeon egg float close to the forest.

This is a fire spirit. Under Ayla's control, it can completely burn a path for walking without igniting the forest.

But what is unexpected is that those net-like vines and tree branches and leaves are wriggling and lining up on both sides, as if trying their best to avoid the approaching threat.Shrubs that were obviously taller than their counterparts and giant trees with immovable roots began to tremble slightly. When the light spot burned a hole in a tree trunk with a diameter of half a foot, Ayla actually vaguely heard a short and rapid scream. .

This is not a real sound in the physical space, but a cry that exists in the consciousness space.

The forest seemed to... fear her.

It's not easy, a forest that is alive with simple emotions doesn't feel easy anywhere.

Ella recalled the Fire Essence and let it disappear into the cracks of space.The forest receded as she walked. Even though it was still a bit crowded, it was still enough for the two of them to walk back and forth.

Rosa looked at the girl's back in shock. The basic knowledge system of mysticism that she had finally established seemed to collapse with the footsteps of the former.Nothing she knew could explain what was happening, but it certainly made sense.

"Follow me."

"Ah! Yes--ok."

Miss Rosa looked at both sides of the forest vigilantly. Those vines and thorns that would attack humans seemed to be completely missing, but her past experience still made her a little scared.

The itinerary that used to take half a day to complete has become much shorter, and the dangerous jungle adventure is like a stroll in the garden.After only half an hour, the freshwater lake on the island appeared in sight.

A figure wrapped in tattered robes stood not far from the lake. His overly tall and stooped body was different from ordinary humans, and the protruding jaw and rotting skin under the hood showed that he was a corpse The identity of the monster.

When the old ghoul saw the figure walking out of the forest, he obviously flinched a little.

It whispered in a voice as low and hoarse as rust:

"Miss Williams...you have awesome power, please forgive my unreasonable behavior."

He knew it was almost pointless to hide from such a wizard.

"Relax, you are Mr. Suharto."

In a few years, the appearance of ghouls has changed more completely, at least in the eyes of humans, their appearance is almost the same.It is difficult for Ella to judge the identity of the other party based on the impression in memory.

Ella stayed a few meters away from him, and did not continue to approach, keeping a psychologically safe distance for the other party.

"I don't mean any harm, I just want to know the current situation of the forest."

"The scope of the temple's influence is expanding, and my clansmen and I dare not approach that direction."

Suharto's tone was a little strange at first, but soon became smoother, as if he hadn't communicated with humans for a long time.He probably already knew what Ella wanted to ask and said first:

"The food in this forest is very sufficient, and we will not disturb the life of the townspeople. We can continue to clear some troubles for Tangerang Town, where we used to live."

Ella sighed. In a sense, his position was the same as that of these townspeople who turned into ghouls.But I may be lucky, even though Ella knows that the internal structure of her body has little to do with human beings, she at least still retains her original appearance.And the ghouls who also changed in appearance are obviously more difficult to be accepted by human society.

If there is no Ling and those who are willing to accept her, Ella may also choose to find a place far away from the city to live this kind of life.

"This is enough, I will try to help you find a way to reverse the transformation."

"Reverse transformation..."

The old ghoul repeated this uncommon saying, and suddenly began to tremble when he understood the meaning.

"You're saying...we might turn back into humans again?!"

"I am not sure."

Ella shook her head.

"But at least—please have hope."

The tall figure in a tattered robe finally stopped trembling, and he bowed deeply.

"That's enough, thank you very much."

This is just a blip in the journey.Ella came to this island with more important things for her.But maybe seeing those people and things in the past, and recalling what kind of mood she was in at that time, will also help her continue to maintain her humanity, just like anchoring a ship on the ocean.

-

Ella still remembered the direction of the temple. After sending Miss Rosa safely to the edge of the forest, she floated upward in the gray light.Now that it was just a simple flight, there was no need to call Bayaki anymore.However, Ella still dare not use teleportation in this weird forest. She can feel that the space here is not stable, and rashly using spells such as "doors" may bring unexpected risks.

Ayla was flying north, and her current speed was not much worse than that of Baiaji at that time.After calculating the time spent and comparing it with the memory, the girl's face soon turned pale.

The distance she flies now is less than two-thirds of what it was back then, but the forest in front of her has already shown signs of distortion.

Bright flowers bloom on the transparent tree that looks like glass.Violet, datura, hyacinth, lavender, or some unknown plant reproductive organs are in the position where the green leaves should be, and their slender roots are intertwined and intertwined in the transparent trunk like nerves or blood vessels.

Strange substances like glowing ore are distributed on the ground in large and small sizes, and they grow dense hyphae, crawling on the soil.

This dream-like absurd and twisted area has nearly doubled in size compared to two years ago. The heterogeneous magic power from the edge of the dream dragged a large forest into an abnormal space.The physical laws of the material world are invalid here, and everything in front of them will drive a common sense person who tries to understand them crazy.

In spiritual vision, Ayla finally understood what the hunters in the town had seen.

In the forest, she saw night-gaunts hanging upside down on the branches, and gug giants with deformed hands and feet. Their bodies were transparent, and they had not yet completely entered the material world from the dreamland, but their power had penetrated into them. In the cracks.

"It's just...crazy."

Ella couldn't find any other adjectives for a while.

In her opinion, these native species from the dreamland should not be able to shake the wall between the two worlds at present, and these penetrating powers are at most just an occasional nightmare for the townspeople.But if it takes another year or two, the situation will be difficult to say.

Ayla continued north, arriving at the temple in the deepest part of the Twisted Forest.

With her current ability, she will no longer be forcibly dragged into the dreamland, and the temple itself is not dangerous to her.

After having the experience of traveling in the dreamland, Ella barely recognized a few stone sculptures outside the temple that lacked a sense of symmetry, most of them were creatures from the dreamland.She even found cold spiders and shattucks among them.

It seems that at least the person who built this temple has been to the Dreamland and returned successfully.

Maybe it was the court mage—but if it was her, what made the former decide to return to the Dreamlands once more to die?

Ella thought, Queen Enoch asked herself to say hello to the court mage Miss Sarah Susan Novia before she left.

When she returned here two years later, Ella felt that the environment inside the temple was more like a living room or a magic research laboratory.She first tried to find the shadow of the palace mage who lived here, but when she was still a girl, she obviously had a different style from the old woman who had lived in the Kingdom of Snow for hundreds of years.

After thinking of this, Ella smiled helplessly, then approached the colorful light ball in the center of the temple altar, and strode in.

Chapter 8 New Kingdom (Third update!)

This is a world full of mottled color blocks and strange light and shadow, it is like a stained palette or childish graffiti.Except for the white mist that covered the sky above, the scene was completely chaotic and it was impossible to tell the direction.

The moment she stepped into this space, disordered color blocks and dim halos occupied Ella's entire world.

Just like when she returned to the physical space, this strange sense of space caused her consciousness to fly in all directions.But unlike last time, Ella didn't spend much time stabilizing her condition this time.
