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

"Ella Williams?" Adolf confirmed.

"Yes, Professor." Ella answered in the affirmative.

"Then come with me." Adolf waited for Ella to walk up the steps in front of the castle, and then entered the castle gate in front of her.

First of all, there is a spacious hall with an extremely high ceiling. Bright crystal chandeliers are arranged in a long circle, surrounding the murals on the ceiling, which are complex scrolls that mix myths and religions from all over the world.

Gorgeous golden candlesticks and copper-colored painted pillars are lined up on both sides of the main road, and sandalwood-colored satin curtains are hung on the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, and gold or other precious metal threads are punctured with complex and gorgeous patterns on the curtains.Stone stairs go up around the corner of the hall, intertwined and circled in mid-air.

Glamisberg was once a truly aristocratic castle, belonging to a high-ranking duke.The oil paintings or some inconspicuous furniture hanging in the castle are all real antiques, and if the value is quoted, people will definitely be surprised.

Professor Adolf led Ella to the depths of the hall, where there were long tables, and every few steps, a huge crystal ball would be placed on the long tables.The teachers and professors of Kraft School sat behind the crystal ball on the long table, and in front of them, young freshmen lined up in long rows.

Behind the professors was a huge oil portrait. The gloomy-looking man Ella seemed to have seen it somewhere. She thought about it, and it seemed that the fountain sculpture in the center of Glamis Town also seemed to be this man.Professor Adolph told her that it was Lovecraft, the first headmaster of the school.

In front of the portrait are two staggered floating ladders, which lead to the inside of a huge pipe organ.The girl seemed to see an old man dozing off there.But before he could see clearly, he was brought to the long table by Adolf. Adolf said a few words to one of the teachers, and the teacher asked Ella to come behind the new students.

According to Adolf, this is the freshman test mentioned by Yousef. The crystal ball will test the magic attributes of the newborns to judge their ancestors in the age of mythology, and use this to adjust the curriculum to a certain extent after the newborns. In addition, this ritual can also detect the mental strength of the children, which largely determines how far they can go on this path.

There are not many freshmen in the college this year. After being divided into more than ten columns, there were only five or six people in front of Ella.

The professors looked at the changes on the crystal ball, compared the ribbons placed on the table, filled in the parchment with a quill pen, and then handed the parchment to the students themselves, although most freshmen would Take it out for comparison by yourself, but it also protects a little privacy on the bright side.Soon it was Ella's turn. A female professor looked at the thin girl who was about to be able to go to the table, and asked a few questions with great interest.

"Miss Ella?"

"it's me."

"I heard that you are the student that Yusef found from London. Come, don't be nervous. This will be your home from now on. You haven't been exposed to magic before, don't be nervous. Put your hands on the crystal ball and close your eyes. Try to visualize what the crystal ball will look like in your mind, the more details the better.”

Ella closed her eyes as she was told and recalled the appearance of the crystal ball she had just seen.In the darkness, Ella thought for a long time, building the model of the crystal ball bit by bit. The darkness in front of her had hardly changed in the previous period, but suddenly, Ella seemed to feel some thin mist appearing in the darkness. .

The female professor looked at the almost unchanged crystal ball and seemed a little disappointed and regretful. Even children who are born with powerful magic will slowly lose their talents if they live in a harsh environment for a long time.

But just when she was about to fill in the parchment according to the little pink color on the crystal ball, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from the crystal ball, and on the organ high up, the old man who was dozing also let out a light sigh.The female professor suddenly felt that the desktop became much brighter. She raised her head and opened her mouth in surprise.

In the darkness, the mist was slowly changing its shape according to Ella's thoughts, and the crystal ball seemed to be on a wooden stand... Ella thought, it was a four-cornered stand carved from jujube wood, with winding little snakes wrapped around it. The four corners of the bracket.The crystal ball should be light purple, with his own face and the crystal lamp above reflected on it... A delicate crystal ball is gradually taking shape.

Ella was closing her eyes tightly at this time, so she couldn't see. The crystal ball placed on the long table was ignited with gray-white flames. They rose to a height of half a meter and only occupied half of the crystal ball. The other half is filled with dark red sticky light, like blood and flowing volcanic lava.

Chapter 5 A New Life

"Two kinds of mysterious attributes, and the mental power is also very good..."

The female professor muttered to herself in shock. The scene here attracted the attention of all the professors. They even forgot to give the next freshman a test, and those children also looked at the dazzling red and white crystal ball curiously. He didn't mean to remind the tester in front of him at all.

The female professor who tested Ella is named Aurora. She is a senior professor of this magic school and has lived in Glamisburg for more than 30 years.But even in school history, such gifted students are rare.

Professor Aurora began to carefully compare Ella's two magical attributes with the color bands on the sheepskin scroll, and she was surprised to find that there was no exact same color on it.This means that Ella's ancestors may be completely unknown gods, and even the Kraft School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which has a long tradition, has no records that fully match it.

This is an extremely rare situation, and its appearance often means that a new pantheon has been discovered. This is a major event that has not appeared again in the hundreds of years before the Kraft School was established.A new pantheon means a brand new magical system and a possible precious legacy from the Age of Mythology.

Professor Aurora was agitated at first, but soon calmed down, denying this possibility. The emergence of a new god system is almost impossible. For thousands of years, magicians have explored almost every corner of the world. , Whether it is the depths of the vast forest, or an isolated island in the sea, even if it is the belief of the indigenous people, the magicians will take the trouble to find out about it.As for the blood of strange creatures like evil gods, it is impossible for humans to inherit them.

The professors gathered together and began to whisper.

"Although there is no identical reference to this bloody mysterious attribute, its nature is similar to that of Cain in "The Book of Nod". As for the cold gray-white attribute, it is more like Scar from the Nordic mythology. Di, but the attribute of Goddess Skadi should be ice and snow, not the form of flame..."

This is a professor of magic history, and his research on the divine system is already at an authoritative level.

"Is it possible that it is a mutation product of the hybrid of these two gods?"

This is the professor of magical biology.

"The filthy blood species recorded in the "Book of Nod" has nothing to do with the Nordic gods. Is it possible for them to produce excellent descendants who inherit both bloodlines at the same time?"

"Although the probability is very small, in theory...the possibility cannot be ruled out."

The biology professor replied.

"Well...what's wrong with me? Isn't it suitable for me to learn magic?"

The professors' discussion came to an abrupt end. Ella had finished her meditation, but found that she had not received the same parchment as the previous students. The young girl's thinking was still very simple. She thought there was something wrong with her test.During the meditation process, Ella could not hear any sounds from the outside world, but based on her past experience in the factory, she was worried that something was wrong with her.

"No, child, nothing. You are very suitable to be a magician. You will at least have an aptitude above A. Yousef has found a good student."

Professor Aurora pulled the girl over, whispered in her ear, and then wrote down her evaluation on the parchment.Ella raised her head in surprise to make sure, and saw the professor smiling and blinking his left eye at her, and Adolf, who was standing against the pillar, gave her his thumbs up.

There were no more accidents after the test ceremony, and it ended smoothly.It was getting late, and the old man who had been dozing in front of the organ slowly came down. This inconspicuous old man was wearing a white classical robe, a pair of thick silver-rimmed glasses, and his hair was shaved into a neat short length. He looked like Like a simple country priest.

The old man strode to the high platform directly below the portrait and cleared his throat. Only then did the freshman realize that this old man who looked like a flower farmer was Kraft's current principal, Albert Kleist.

Professor Kleist gestured for silence, and the hall that held hundreds of people fell silent.After welcoming the new students, Kleist briefly told the history of Kraft School, which only lasted about 15 minutes. As a party for the school to welcome new students, it seemed too short.In the principal's own words, the freshmen need dinner and sleep more to prepare for the next day's classes than a lengthy speech.

The old students seemed to be used to this, after the party, the prefects led the freshmen to the dormitory.

The scale of Glamis Castle is larger than Ella imagined. It is not only a tall castle, but also includes a complete manor.The student dormitory is located in the north of the manor. It is a seven-story building in Baroque style. The male and female students are separated by a central lounge and cafeteria.In front of the semicircular building is a crescent-shaped lake, and a wide relief stone bridge connects the courtyard and student apartments.

If you want to compare the number of freshmen, there are too many rooms in the dormitory. Even if they are divided into two rooms, there are still many rooms left.

Ms. Alexia is the manager of the dormitory building. She and Kraft's chefs prepared freshly baked soft scones and Weston bunny for the freshmen in the lounge, and the drink was warm cream Tea.

Ella ate something briefly and got the package from Peter, the clothing store manager, which was a heavy textbook.

The layout of the bedroom is warm and elegant. On both sides of the room, there are two pillared beds with dark blue velvet curtains hanging on them. In the center of the room are two sofas and thick carpets. The oak desk is It is placed in front of a large window full of reliefs.

At the desk, Ella saw her roommate.

It was an Asian girl with short hair that Ella had seen on the train platform. She was wearing a white nightgown and lying on the desk, reading an overly thick textbook.

She heard the sound of the wooden door being pushed open, raised her head, and smiled sunnyly at Ella.

Chapter 6 Roommates from the Far East

"Hello, see you again."

Ella seemed a little reserved, she didn't have any experience with her peers, she just nodded and repeated dryly,

"Well... yes, what a coincidence."

The air seemed to be frozen for a few seconds. It was an embarrassing silence, but Ella felt relieved. The black-haired girl seemed to be quite similar to her personality, and she was also a quiet person. In this way, future Days might be a little easier.

Ella breathed a sigh of relief and planned to put down her luggage and get to know her future roommate briefly.

But the black-haired girl suddenly pushed aside the chair silently and stood up, took off her glasses and put them on the table, her breathing gradually became heavy.

Ella took a step back, suddenly having a bad premonition.

The dark-haired girl took a few steps forward, then started to run, and finally jumped up, throwing Ella to the ground.

The girl rubbed Ella's head, and Ella was surprised to find that the other person's body was much taller than her own, and she was completely unable to resist for a while, and she was riding under her.The girl who took off her glasses completely cast aside her superficial bookishness, and with her neat short hair, she looked even more boyish.

"Great, seeing you from the train station, I was thinking, if only such a cute child were my roommate! My name is Ling, how about you?"

Ella recovered from the dizziness, looked at the face that was getting closer and closer to her, shook her head, propped the opponent away with her hands weakly, and began to savor that strange syllable, which should be a language she didn't understand.

"I'm Ella, your name is so weird...ah, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, I have nothing to apologize for. I'm from the Far East, and everyone here who heard my name for the first time said so."

Ling helped Ella up, and sat back on the chair carelessly.Ella was stunned for a while, Ling's current temperament was too different from the quiet girl she saw at the train station, which made it difficult for Ella to adapt for a while.At this time, Ella noticed that there seemed to be something different about the pair of glasses on the table.

Ling noticed Ella's gaze, smiled and picked up the round glasses, and his fingers went directly through the frames.

"This one, my adoptive father thinks I'm too boyish and makes me look quieter in it."

Ella was completely speechless. It turned out that the impression she left before was completely faked by Ling.This made Ella very angry, which surprised her. After all these years, she had never been angry about anything.Even her cousins ​​messing with her at school, or Uncle Henry keeping her up late with chores, Ella takes it for granted.

Ella threw herself into the sofa in a fit of anger, but she was still used to putting the packages on the ground neatly.

"What about the book? Is it also a tool for... um, acting?"

"This is not it." Ling rarely showed a serious expression, "This is our textbook for this semester, and it is the basic skill for learning magic well."

She held the book in front of Ella, and Ella was attracted by the earthworm-like words on the book.

"What kind of writing is this? I can't read it at all."

Ella frowned. If this is the textbook she needs to use, Ella has no idea where to start.

"Didn't your family tell you? This is a rune script. I remember Professor Yousef brought you to sign up at the station that day. He is a really powerful magician!"

Ling was surprised instead. Ella's situation was relatively rare among magician apprentices. At least before this, Ling had never heard of any magic apprentice who didn't know runes.

"I don't have a family. I was picked up...no, found by Professor Yousef from London."

"Okay, listen to me, take a closer look, pay attention to the perception of those words, your magic power will resonate with them to a certain extent, of course, the specific meaning and syllables will be handed over to you slowly by the spell professor.

Ella looked at the textbook again, and the words dressed in earthworms slowly squirmed in her eyes, gradually becoming blurred and blurred, leaving only illusory light clusters.Ella opened her mouth, as if a syllable was about to come out of her lips.

"Don't bother, we just need to feel and get familiar with it, you can't read the runes without guidance...!"

Before Ling finished speaking, he showed a shocked expression.

Ella opened her mouth to read a syllable. She didn't know how to pronounce that character, but she vaguely understood its meaning: burning.

A small ball of fire ignited on Ayla's right hand, the crimson tail of the flame tangled and danced, and there was some viscous, liquid-like bright red flowing in the center of the flame.

Ella panicked, and the flame went out, but the falling sparks still burned a small hole in the sofa.

Ling first ran to Ayla in a panic to see if she felt any discomfort. Generally speaking, magician apprentices at the age of Ayla and the others cannot use magic directly. Magic and spells are not free to use. Once using magic, a lot of knowledge will impact people's reason. Once unable to bear it, the magician may lose his mind and become a madman, or even die on the spot.Therefore, even if most apprentice mages have the ability to decipher runes, they will do so under the supervision of experienced teachers.

After observing her pupils to make sure that there was nothing unusual about Ella, Ling let out a sigh of relief and told her not to use spells so casually next time. After a few seconds of silence, she cried out.

"It's incredible. How did you do it? I have never seen a magic apprentice who can read out a complete spell for the first time when he comes into contact with rune characters. What the hell did you get in the magic test?!"

Aila was a little flustered, not knowing whether this phenomenon was good or bad, so she obediently handed her parchment to Ling.

"...Psychic Power A, Magic Aptitude A, Bloodline Double A... Are you a professor who used the Rejuvenation Curse to bully people?"

Looking at Ella with a sluggish face, Ling finally sighed helplessly, lowered her shoulders, and then stared at Ella viciously, her two small eyebrows raised.

Ella was so stared at that she asked cautiously.

"What's wrong?"

"I was hit, so... you have to make it up to me."

As he spoke, Ling involuntarily snatched Ayla's spell book, closed it heavily, and pulled the girl up from the sofa.

"How to compensate?"
