Ella couldn't help but feel horrified. If this was the prophecy, it would be too terrifying.Prior to this, Ayla's understanding of prophets and prophecies was that the glimpses of the future that seers had glimpsed were only fragmentary pictures and vague interpretations of them.Can a wizard really fully understand the fate of people hundreds of years later, and leave arrangements for them?

What a terrifying power this is, it can already be called a miracle!

"You didn't confirm it before, but assumed it, but you really can't be sure, is this the remains of the prophet Sibilla?"

Ayla became suspicious. If the Eye of Hermes was really the creation of the prophet Sibilla, then the shadow born from it under the influence of the evil god should not know nothing.

Shadow played with a strand of silver hair, sneered, and raised a finger:

"Of course this place belongs to Sibyl. You made a mistake from the very beginning. My assumption is not about the 'Prophet of Sibyl', but the term 'remains'. Do you think it is possible? A refined The great alchemist of the Philosopher's Stone ages and dies?"

"You mean to say..."

"Yes, this cave is indeed related to the woman Sibylla, but whether it is a ruin or not is another matter."

There was a brief silence in the cave,

After a while, the shadow whispered like a demon,

"How about it, my ally, don't worry about the townspeople who were brought into the cave by Goyle. Anyway, you have rescued your companions. As for the others, just treat it as an unfortunate accident and let us enter the cave together. The treasures found in Sibylla, the Philosopher's Stone, and even the "Book of Time" that no one has ever seen except Sibylla himself will become ours, you just need to agree."

Ella flatly refused without any hesitation. The bright red lava appeared in Shadow's pupils again, making her actions sluggish.

"After saving the others, I don't care whether you go to find those treasures or not, but now, if you refuse to save the residents of Sutter Town, then I will fight with you for control of this body with all my strength."

Shadow's face was full of disbelief, and after a while, he laughed,

"That's really a pity. I hope you don't regret it..."

After that, Ella and Shadow searched the cave along the underground river. They found two townspeople one after another. They were the waitress of the tailor shop and the guard of the stable. Like Mr., his spirit is severely weakened and he can't provide any useful information. He was turned into a shadow doll and put into a satchel.

"My lady saint, do you know how many inhabitants of that town have been taken away? If we go on like this, when will we be able to find Sibyl's treasure? Besides, even if I fill this satchel, maybe There will be missing residents, what are you going to do? Ignore their existence because they are not in sight?...Maybe that’s fine too, as long as it satisfies your ridiculous hypocrisy, isn’t it?”

"Put that aside, lame Goyle must have counted his captives, as long as Goyle is captured, the number of townspeople can be confirmed! If you hadn't planned to kill him at that time, then we would have gotten the information long ago, not Look for him everywhere, understand?"

The shadow's ridicule was blocked in her throat, and she finally snorted in disdain, and did not bring up this topic again.

"There are footsteps."

Ella prompted Shadow and said,

"I know!"

The sound of footsteps approaching from far away was particularly clear in the empty cave, and two figures slowly appeared on the distant river bank.

-

"Hold on! Keep going."

Ling kicked Gower. When she found this man, the notorious bandit leader who had robbed more than half of the townspeople in Sutter was hiding in a corner trembling.

Ling captured him alive without any effort, and Gore was looking upright, talking about demons, witches and other illogical words indistinctly.His back was corroded by some kind of force, the clothes behind him were blackened and carbonized, but his skin looked more like frostbite.

He seemed to be very afraid of Ling now, and under her pressure, he quickly finished what he knew, but the bandit leader was unwilling to give an answer about the reason for his injury.

Ling is in a good mood now. After capturing Goyle, the threat to her and Ella in the cave can be said to have been greatly reduced.As for the other monsters that might exist in the cave, there was also Goyle in front of her as a bait to let the bandit leader do this kind of work, and Ling didn't have any psychological burden on this.

Gore told her that there should be no fire in this cave, and that the plants with their heads stretched out hated the smell of gunpowder.

Regarding these problems, the cripple Gore did not hide anything, and he even took the initiative to tell Ling about them.Goyle had run out of ideas, in his own words, about the gold mines in the cave.

"As long as you can escape this damn cave as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if you tie me up and send me to the Inspector."

Ling held the hemp rope that bound Goyle in one hand, and held a half-dead human-faced thorn in the other. If he met Ella in the cave, he could give it to her directly, whether it was taken directly or refined into a potion.Ling believes that Ayla, who has recovered her magic power, can give herself a great boost.In addition, she also imagined her friend drinking the thorny juice of the human face with some evil intentions, and she believed that this scene would definitely impress her.

Chapter 23 Chaos

"There seems to be someone ahead."

Ling kicked Goyle to let him go ahead.

But as the figures in the distance became clearer, Goyle's footsteps became more and more resistant, when he could fully see the people approaching along the underground river bank.

Gore seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, and let out a mournful sound as if he was about to be strangled to death.

"Demon, you are a demon, don't kill me!"

Ella was taken aback by Goyle who suddenly knelt down on the ground, but Shadow seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and did not show any abnormality.

"Be careful, don't let Ling see that something is wrong."

Ella reminds Shadow that she doesn't want Ling to discover this secret yet.

Without knowing the upper limit of the shadow's strength, she didn't want to expose her own problems in advance, because it might bring great danger to her friends.

If it was two professors, it would be a different situation. Ella would try her best to fight for control on the spot, or warn the police.

Shadow had no chance of overpowering them.

Shadow showed a look of bewilderment, as if he had never seen Goyle before, Ella was shocked by Shadow's acting skills, at least she couldn't see any flaws from the face that belonged to her at all, it was just that kind of pretending The innocent appearance made Ella feel very disgusted.

"Ella! I finally found you, are you okay?"

Ling walked out from behind Gao Er and handed the half-dead human-faced thorn to Shadow without any explanation.

"I found the human face thorn, and I will eat it soon."

After finishing speaking, a glint of expectation flashed in Ling's eyes, but the gleam was fleeting, leaving only concern for his friends.

"No, no, I've found it before. In fact, this thing is everywhere in the cave."

Shadow took a step back, and she was deeply impressed by the fishy juice that smelled like the viscera of dead fish. Speaking of which, it was the first taste she tasted after she had a body, and it was something she never wanted to try again.

"Don't worry about your image at this time, take a quick bite, and we will escape together after you recover your ability to cast spells. Hurry up, hurry up!"

Shadow moved her face away, Ling's eyes were shining, and the plant in her hand was already close to her lips.

She hastily pushed away the nodules on the pale, rotten human face.

"I...my magic has been restored, look!"

As he spoke, the shadow snapped his fingers and recited the spell silently, causing an ice crystal to float in his palm.

Ling looked at the ice crystal and opened her mouth wide. She was silent for a moment, as if she was a little disappointed. It was undoubtedly a product of magic. It was impossible for Ayla to summon the ice crystal before her injury healed.

But this disappointment quickly dissipated, and Ling was really happy for Ira. She was very clear about the status of her friends for the past four years.The blow to Ella from not being able to continue to use magic was heavy. After London, my friend’s pursuit of power almost became an obsession. Don't die.

But Ella, who yearns for power and knowledge so much, was told that she could no longer use magic. Looking at her friend who pretended to be strong, but became haggard little by little, Ling felt very heartbroken.

"Great……"

Ling hugged Shadow suddenly, the latter was startled, his body tensed up, almost subconsciously about to chant the mantra.However, Ella's consciousness reacted almost instantly, interrupting the dangerous spell that Shadow was about to say.

Shadow noticed that Ling had no follow-up movements, and his tense body slowly relaxed.Aila was so frightened that her heart almost stopped beating just now—if that heart still belonged to her, she looked at the defenseless Ling with complicated emotions for a moment.

What moved her was that her friend was very concerned about her recovery of magic power, but on the other hand, Ling, who had lived with her for several years, failed to find that this body had changed owners, and... Aila noticed that she and It was a small crystal ball that was used to record images.

If she really gnawed two mouthfuls of thorns in front of her face, Ling would definitely record this curious scene and play it repeatedly in front of her own face after returning to Kraft.

For a time, all kinds of complicated emotions emerged together, leaving Ella unable to say a word.

Gore collapsed on the ground. The once arrogant gang leader could no longer even escape.

"So why is Lame Goyle so afraid of you? Did you do anything?"

Shadow answered what he had discussed with Ella a long time ago,

"When I first recovered my magic power, the magic power rioted out of control and almost burned him to ashes. It was just an accident."

Ling accepted this answer, which was completely logical, but Gao Er was more timid than they thought.

Goyle didn't believe this answer at all, he still remembered that scene, the girl floating in mid-air, her eyes were full of pale flames.She just looked at herself like that, expressionless.

That strange sense of fear confused Goyle's brain, and the silver-haired witch looked at her like a human watching an ant.

He wanted to say something, but at this moment, the doll-like silver-haired witch turned her head, and the pale flames still danced in her eyes.

Gore was once again choked by fear, he hugged his head, and knelt down on the ground trembling all over.When he stood up again, all expression disappeared from his face, and he became very resigned.

From Ling's mouth, I learned that there were a total of 13 hostages who entered the cave, which was the exact number given to her by Gore.Most of these people are frail old people, and most of the strong adults and women have been sold by Gower.

If it is not possible to be a hostage, then Andre's result may be the same.

Shadow opened Ella's satchel, counting Andre, she had already found three people.And Ling also used the same magic, and the townspeople who were shrunk into dolls were stuffed into her backpack by her. With the help of Goyle, she moved faster, and five people have been found so far.

It wasn't difficult, the hostages didn't have torches in their hands, and their positions wouldn't change much, and Ayla was lucky this time.

According to Ling, as long as you turn back along this underground river, you can return to the ground in an hour.

"That's five..."

Shadow felt a little annoyed. She knew that before finding these five people, Ella could not agree to find Sibilla's treasure by herself. As for Ling, this person was also a trouble to her. Maybe let Ella go deep into the cave alone.

As for Gore... Although Shadow doesn't think that an ordinary person can see the clues, just to be on the safe side, he should find a chance to kill him.

Chapter 24 Winner

As they continue deeper into the cave, Shadow and Ling meet someone they didn't expect.

"Mr. Edward?"

That was the leader of the gold diggers, and he had already discovered the law of the cave's changes. In the process of searching for the team members, he had already found the remaining five townspeople.Edward was extremely surprised by the crippled Goyle who showed obedience. In his memory, he had never seen Goyle show such an expression.

"Before entering the cave, I should have met your two teachers, but I'm not sure."

"Teach them? Is it a big man over seven feet tall and a sullen middle-aged man?"

Ling's description didn't seem to be respectful enough, but it was indeed appropriate enough.She got an affirmative answer from Edward.

"Then we should go to the entrance of the cave and meet with the professor and them. The gold digger team exceeds 30 people, which is no longer a number that can be rescued by just the two of us."

According to Edward's description, the two professors Adolf and Yosef have left the Sibylla Cave. When they return to the ruins of Sutter Town, they will definitely be able to find the message left by Ella.After that, their choice must be to return to the cave to find Ella and Ling.

Things seem to be heading in the right direction, and Ayla believes that the professors will be able to solve the shadow's fight for her body.

But in this case, Shadow is likely to fight back regardless of revealing his identity.

Ella sharpened her focus, ready to interrupt Shadow's magic or fight her for control of her body.
