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

He drank the cold red wine in his glass. The waiter had just served several new desserts, including vanilla Italian hot pudding and freshly baked black truffle cake.But Fred seemed to have no intention of enjoying it. He stood up and left the table.

"You young people should have your own topic, Ling, take Ella to rest after dessert."

"Okay, Dad."

After he left, Ling couldn't help but say,

"It's too bad. I was looking forward to joining the executor team, but now I have to be a companion with that Hyde?"

"It's not too bad. Apart from being arrogant, timid, brainless, and annoying... the magic level is still at the top of the fifth grade."

Ella thought about it seriously and barely found an advantage. However, she recalled Hyde's performance in Anderson's cabin five years ago and felt that this young master could only use [-] to [-]% of his expected magic level in the face of danger. .

"Forget it...it's useless to think about it."

Ling unknowingly used the catchphrase of her adoptive father,

"Ella, how about we go take a shower first, the maid should have heated the water."

"Wait a little longer... the pudding is delicious."

In fact, she had barely had time to eat much before, and now that it was just her and Ling left, Ella was no longer nervous.

Chapter 12 Executors

The feeling of bathing the whole body in hot water is very comfortable, especially through the skylight, it seems that it is snowing outside, which is a very wonderful experience.

But Ella felt very uncomfortable. After washing her body in a hurry, she planned to leave the large bathtub covered with rose petals, and she didn't want to stay for a moment.

Leaving the warm Roman bath, Ella dried herself, wrapped her towel tightly, and trotted back to her room.She couldn't accept that there was a maid standing in the room while she was taking a bath.Afterwards, he left the scene almost as if fleeing for refuge.

Mostly because of the child labor experience in the factory in the early years, malnutrition and excessive exhaustion caused the girl to almost stop developing.Although I don't really care about it, it's another matter to be exposed to strangers.

Ling was sitting in her room, not noticing Ella's slightly flushed face, who also quickly adjusted her state.The two girls began to continue the previous topic.

"...do you know anything about joining the school executive team?"

"Your teacher, Professor Yusef, is this executive officer, right? Haven't you asked him?"

Ella shook her head.

"I actually had a hard time seeing the teacher at school, he was out on missions most of the year."

Ling thought about it carefully, organized the language,

"Well... as Fred and I mentioned, fifth grade students will officially join the team of executors, and they need to participate in a mission according to the ceremony. The same goes for the remaining two school years, and they need to participate in at least one executor mission every semester. Graduation After that, we will remain in the Executor for two years on a squad basis, after which we can choose to stay or quit."

"So you mean, after this Christmas, we need to participate in a mission?"

"I think so."

Ella seemed to have thought of something, pulled her suitcase and started rummaging through it.

"What are you looking for?"

Ling asked curiously, she saw Ella dig out a black satin package.

"I'm looking for the notes that the teacher left for me. I think I should learn the ancient spell that Professor Aurora left in the last class as soon as possible."

"It's not necessary, Ella. Generally speaking, schools don't arrange too dangerous missions for students who are performing missions for the first time."

"No, you don't understand."

Ella recalled the pictures she saw on the "Book of the Future", and if there were shadows, even if it was just a certain possibility that would appear in the future, she had to be fully prepared for it.

……

Ella stayed at Faust Manor for two weeks, during which time Straw Belushi paid an official visit to Fred Mephisto with his only son Hyde.

These two pure-blood families have officially become an alliance. This is not just a verbal agreement. When the two magicians sign their real names on the parchment, the contract generates powerful magical power. He paid a heavy price for his actions.

In addition to agreeing to let Ling become Hyde's executor companion, several agreements have been reached between the two families, including but not limited to sharing some ancient magic knowledge, members of the two families shall not harm each other, and in certain trade When facing potential enemies, they will stand on the same front if their respective interests are not seriously violated.This is a result that satisfies both Straw and Fred, and regardless of their personal likes and dislikes, it is indeed of great benefit to both.

During this period of time, Ella carefully studied Yusuf's notebook. The professor had a deep understanding of ancient spells and seemed to be very good at re-parsing those obscure sentences from his own perspective.

It has to be said that just a few short sentences that Yousef left in the leather book back then greatly helped Ella understand the spell, and she avoided many detours because of this.

This is the note left by Yousef in the fifth grade. When he was similar to Ella's age, he showed a very high talent for ancient spells.

This made Ella question Kleist's statement. She is obviously not the best magic apprentice in the past 50 years, at least Yusef should be much better than Ella back then.

The time to understand the incantation was greatly reduced than Ella originally expected, and she broke through many key parts within two weeks.Ella tried to get Lingye to read Yousef's notes, but the effect was not good. For her, Xuanjun's obscure sentences and Yousef's professional annotations had no essential meaning. difference.

The Christmas vacation ended soon, Ella and Ling left Faust Manor and got on the train back to Gramis Town.

The atmosphere among the fifth grade students was not as relaxed as before, and these young people were somewhat nervous about the challenges they were about to face.Even if they haven't seen it in person, students have seen the enemies they might face in books or in their hazard biology class.

The ceremony to join the executors was held on the first Friday after the holiday, because the deciphering of the runes was at the most critical stage, and the headmaster Albert Kleist did not appear at the ceremony.

Contrary to Ella's expectations, the person who presided over the ceremony was not Aurora, the professor of the spell class, nor Adolf, the actual combat class.

In the dark basement, in front of the statue of the first principal, was the old professor of history of magic, Benson Smith.In fact, most students give up this boring subject after entering the fourth grade.

Ella hadn't seen him for a year. Old Benson looked like he was dying. He was still wearing the khaki old-fashioned teacher's robe that had been washed a little white.He seemed to be getting older, but after Ella recalled it, she felt that Professor Benson was already like this when she enrolled in school five years ago.

He was trembling on crutches, and tremblingly walked to the statue. Ayla thought he would lead them to read the oath with the same trembling voice.But it wasn't, and even surprised everyone.

Old Benson rolled his old dark blue eyes, looked at the statue behind him, and saluted respectfully.Then he hit the ground heavily with his crutches, and the air in the basement seemed to instantly become much colder. The torches on the surrounding walls flickered several times, and the orange flames turned into a strange blue.The basement became a completely enclosed space while old Benson was on crutches.

Ella was shocked. She didn't feel any magical fluctuations, and she didn't hear Professor Benson chanting any spells, but he did "sanctify" the huge basement in an instant and dragged him into his own kingdom.

This withered old man actually possessed a powerful magical power not inferior to the executive officer Yousef, or even the most powerful wizard Albert Kleist recognized by the outside world.

Different from the flat and unchanging tone in the History of Magic class, Professor Benson said in a dignified voice:

"The ceremony begins."

Under that kind of majesty, all the students present involuntarily knelt on one knee, pressed their left hands on their chests, and lowered their heads.

"Are you willing to fulfill your duties, become Kraft's soldiers, guard the executors of the night, and swear to the old seal and the soul?"

Professor Benson continued to use that deep and dignified voice, in a very slow tone, to ask everyone present.

"I will, and swear—"

The new generation of executors knelt on one knee, raised their right hands, fingers slightly bent, palms facing upwards.

"We are the executors who guard the night, the swords of silver and the shields of black iron, we gather under the crown of thorns, and offer our lives and souls to the sacred banner!"

Ella lowered her head, and she felt a magical connection between her body and the object in front of the statue as the oath was read.

On the black satin is a twisted crown made of thorns, and a strange, worn-out flag with scorch marks.

Chapter 13 First Mission

Ella has an impression of one of them. She has seen it in the picture of "Book of the Future", the stick figure version of Kleist wearing the crown of thorns.

No one with magic power here can ignore these two sacred objects, the magic power contained in them is as strong as the vast sea.

The Crown of Thorns is quite famous even in the mundane world. There is even a replica of it hidden in a certain church in Paris, France, which is the same as the original. It is also an extraordinary alchemy prop, but its religious significance is far greater than it self effect.

At the end of the ceremony, the fifth-grade students were allowed to form teams of three to four according to the executor's establishment, or wait for assignment.

According to the agreement, Ella reluctantly wrote down the names of herself, Ling, and Hyde on the parchment, and handed it to Professor Benson.

Ella could feel the parchment burning away in the blue brazier, and after that, some kind of magical pact was formed between them too, shattering the last of her illusions.In the next mission, she had to take Hyde as a companion.

The young man has perfectly inherited the arrogance from his ancestors, but he has not honed his father's tact.

The way of receiving the task was somewhat beyond Ayla's expectations. In the depths of the basement of the ceremony hall, Ayla saw the messengers whom she had not seen for a long time, those magical creatures with weird shapes, like shriveled baby corpses.

Ripples appeared in the space here from time to time, and messengers appeared or left. They sent reports here one after another, and then they were summoned by magicians from other places, quickly entered the ripples, and their bodies became transparent.

Paper reports were fed into a strange, brass-colored machine that spewed steam from time to time.Most of them were crushed into a pile of shredded paper by the machine, and sent into the fireplace through the pipe at the back as fuel. A few reports or letters were re-spit out by the mouth of the machine and landed on the table.

This part of the report will be collected by Kraft's staff sitting aside and read in order.

Nephi, a young cleric, explained to the new generation of Executors that they received numerous reports of dangerous magical incidents every day, but most of them were not true. The clerical work 20 years ago was a hard job. They needed to eliminate false information from a large number of reports, sort them out, and then distribute them to the executors.Until the alchemy professor Roger made this machine that can judge automatically.

Roger didn't know how to make this alchemy instrument have excellent judgment ability. It would shred the worthless reports and discharge them into the fireplace, while the true and valuable letters would be spit out again.After these years of verification, the accuracy of the alchemy machine is astonishingly high, not much worse than manual inspection. Considering the issue of efficiency, there is no need to say more about the choice.

Now this job has become very easy, and only five or six people are required to be in charge. As he spoke, Ni Fei picked up a cup of brewed black tea and took a sip gracefully.

At this time, a courier wearing a small silk top hat, with distorted facial features, disproportionately small eyes and a crooked mouth noticed Ella, and suddenly jumped up and came to them excitedly, making babbles that humans could not understand. Unknown voice.

Ella recognized it, the messenger she had met in London five years earlier.The little messenger raised his palm and kept bouncing up and down.

Ella thought for a while, then took out a piece of candy from her pocket and unwrapped it. Professor Adolf sent a large bag of candy at Christmas, and she still has a few pieces left.

The messenger took the candy and threw it into his mouth, crushing it with a few rows of sharp teeth. It waved its hand as farewell, and then quickly entered the ripples of space, becoming transparent.

"This is really strange."

Nephi said in surprise,

"We call it the gentleman in the hat. The gentleman in the hat generally only serves the principal and delivers the letters of Professor Kleist. This is the first time I have seen it show kindness to students. Well, let me find the ones for you The task...don't be too nervous, it's just part of the low-level classification, usually it's just a simple exorcism or presiding over a purification ceremony—I found it."

Ella was about to take over the re-transcribed parchment, but Hyde stepped forward and snatched it. He read it casually,

"Ghouls are suspected to appear on Tangerang Island. More than one junior executor is needed. Judging the degree of danger - low level."

Nephi smiled.

"It's not a difficult task. The only trouble is that it's far away. Tangerang Island is in the Malay Peninsula. There is no independent magic institution there, and there is only one receptionist who has a preliminary contact with occultism."

"So we need sailing again?"

Ella asked, but noticed that Hyde scoffed and frowned a little unhappy, but she soon noticed that there was also some kind of teasing smile on Nephi's face.

"Williams, use your brain, do you know how far it is from England?"

Hyde's expression made Ling want to punch him in the face,
