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

The voices of the freshmen this time were very orderly and loud.

The alchemy tool room of Kraft School is located at the bottom of the Crescent Lake. The way to enter is to walk along the bridge to the stone tower in the middle of the lake, take the elevator like a birdcage, and pass through the stone tunnel to enter the center of the lake.

The reason why the alchemy room was built at the bottom of the lake at a huge cost is because the deep lake water can isolate the powerful magic fluctuations of a large number of alchemy tools. Water is the link between the material world and the spirit. In the alchemical sense, this building is equivalent to Isolated in the space of consciousness.

The small stone tower is now crowded with first-year freshmen. They follow Professor Roger of Alchemy and Professor Aurora of Charms into the alchemy room, and only one freshman is allowed to enter at a time.

At this time, the sky is still a little dark, and only a little white belly can be seen in the far east.The temperature in the center of the lake was much lower than outside. Ella wrapped her school uniform tightly, shivering, and her calf exposed outside the skirt was a little blue from the cold.The winter school uniform ordered from Old Peter will take a few days to arrive, and Ella will have to suffer for it for a few more days. Fortunately, there are warm fireplaces in the indoor classes and dormitories, so it is not too difficult to endure.

Ling has been down for 10 minutes, and it is almost time to come out. Ella is stamping her feet in place to dispel a little bit of the cold. She even thinks about the mantra about fire now.After obtaining their own alchemy tools, the students were allowed to leave and return to their dormitories.Ella lined up behind Ling, and when Ella came up from the bottom of the lake again, they could go back together.

At this time, the elevator rose, and Ling jumped out of the golden metal cage, with obvious excitement on his face.In her arms, she was holding something wrapped in black forbidden magic cloth, which looked like a dagger in length.

It is indeed something in line with Ling's character.Ella thought about this and began to look forward to it.

Ling trotted to Ella and said somewhat mysteriously that he would tell her what he got after Ella came up and returned to the dormitory with him.

"Next, Miss Williams."

Professor Aurora shouted, and Ella walked up in response.

When the elevator began to descend slowly, Ella felt even colder. Beyond the narrow stone wall was the dark and cold lake, and the damp water vapor seeped into the stone wall, making it wet and cold.When she was unbearable, Professor Aurora chanted a spell softly, and Ella suddenly felt that the air around her became dry and warm again.

"Thank you, Professor."

Aurora smiled and told Ella to ask her to prepare more winter clothes. The female professor had a good impression of this student who was the first to learn spells in her class.

The style of the alchemy room is quite different from other buildings in Kraft School. The eternal blue magic flame burns in the candlesticks. The whole alchemy room is like a warehouse, with countless rows of wooden frames neatly arranged, which cannot be seen at a glance. See exactly how many boxes are placed on it, which contain all the magic props collected by Kraft School for a hundred years.

Professor Roger stood expressionlessly in the circular space in the center of the wooden frame. Under his feet, mercury, sulfur or other substances flowed in the grooves on the ground. It was an alchemy circle that stabilized magic power.

"Remember, any magic props that can be placed here are not absolutely safe. There is no power without cost. Using alchemy props means using something of your own to trade with them. Now, stand here."

Ailai stood at a certain position in the magic circle.

"I will now strengthen the connection between you and the alchemy tools. What you need to do is to hear the voice calling you and then find out its location. Do you understand? Miss Williams."

Ella nodded.

"Understood, Professor Roger."

"Very well, then let's start with the Nordic gods and close your eyes."

Ayla closed her eyes, but all she could hear was a loud noise, an indescribable sound, like hundreds of people gathered together whispering chilling curses, like someone whispering in your ear Roaring frantically, it is like an orchestra singing hymns in harmony in a cemetery, and it is also similar to playing sad dirge in a church.

"It seems there is nothing suitable. Let's look at the things left by the vampires in the Book of Nod."

Roger waved his hand another time, and the mercury in the groove also changed its direction.

The sound was even more piercing, almost breaking Ella's eardrums.

"Nor?"

Roger frowned, and simply raised his hands, the magic circle spreading to the entire alchemy room was completely lit up.

In that weird sound that makes people crazy, Ella suddenly discovered an inexplicable feeling. It was like someone you knew a long time ago, but you couldn't remember his name anyway. That sound came from you. sounded from behind, making your hair stand on end.

Ella opened her eyes, turned her head, and looked in a certain direction.

Roger walked over and took out a dusty box, but his face became very ugly.

"I remember it, but how could it be... this kind of thing."

Ella took the box and opened it. Lying inside was a palm-sized bronze mirror. On the back of the bronze mirror was a strange bird with broken wings. It didn't look like a cold pattern, the strange bird was twisted in pain. The feeling seems lifelike.Two entwined snakes gathered at the top of the bronze mirror, holding up a round piece of dark yellow amber, but what was inside the amber was creepy. It was a shriveled, bloodshot eyeball, which had shrunk into It's a small group, but it makes people feel as if they are looking at the person in front of the mirror.

What’s even weirder is that the wooden frame and stone chamber are clearly reflected on the mirror, but Ella can’t find her own shadow inside. But as time goes by, the blurry outline of a person gradually appears in the mirror. At this time, Ella felt a little dizzy. She didn't know if it was an illusion or something else. She seemed to notice that the eye in the amber moved.

"This mirror is the Eye of Hermes." Roger took it, wrapped it with black forbidden magic cloth, and handed it to Ella again. "Until the death of its new owner, it will not shine the shadow of other people. Its function is to enhance the user's magic power at the cost of consuming energy. The clearer the figure inside, the greater the improvement. However, Remember, when you fully appear in the mirror, it is your death date, and the previous users are without exception."

Professor Roger paused and glanced at Ella meaningfully, "If this is your future destiny, then remember my advice... Endless power and wisdom are the fruits of poisonous snakes."

Ella hesitated to take the Eye of Hermes and stuffed it into her pocket.

"Thank you, Professor."

Chapter 10 The Fruit of the Serpent

Ling had been waiting for Ira on the stone tower for a long time. When the girl jumped out of the elevator, Ling hurriedly took her hand and ran all the way back to the lounge.

In front of the fireplace, she rubbed her little hands that were red from the cold and said,

"Why is it so cold all of a sudden today! It feels like it's going to snow heavily."

"Actually, it's already started."

Ella brought two cups of slightly hot cream tea, then stood up and raised the curtains.I don’t know when, large snowflakes began to float in the sky, and the relief of Glamisberg was covered with white in a very short period of time.

This is the second snow this winter, and Christmas is just around the corner.

Ella blew on the rim of the cup and took a sip cautiously, the cream left a circle of white foam at the corner of her mouth.She felt better, and the dizziness in the alchemy room gradually disappeared.

At this time, Ling took out the alchemy tool she had obtained and untied the black cloth wrapped around it.

It was a one-foot-long dagger. The gilt handle was studded with emerald green gems, but the blade was stained with rust and even had a few obvious chips. It looked like it couldn't even peel an apple. .

According to Ling, this dagger is a legacy left by a powerful wizard named Cossack. It has the ability to cut magic. When it cuts things with magic, it becomes extremely sharp, but it is usually just Just a dull knife.But it should be noted that every time it is used, the user will hear the screams of its previous owner before his death. It is said that the old Cossack used it to cut off all he could after a certain magic experiment. Of all things, when people found him, only a mass of unidentifiable flesh and blood and the dagger were left at the scene. No one knew how he cut himself like that.

That inhuman howl will have an impact on the user's sanity, and the impact will slowly increase with the duration of each use, which is not a good thing for magicians.According to Professor Roger, if Ling really needs to use this dagger one day, it would be best to find a psychiatrist afterwards.

But Ling still likes the Cossack dagger very much, because its shape and story are very handsome.

Seeing Ling's urging eyes, Ayla had no choice but to find out the alchemy tool she got, that somewhat weird bronze mirror.

"Oh, this eye, it looks so disgusting!"

Ling frowned, and was surprised to find that there was no shadow of herself in the bronze mirror.Ella explained the usefulness of the Eye of Hermes, and Ling shuddered, and advised Ella to avoid using such weird things.

Ella nodded, but she felt uneasy in her heart. She felt that she might not be able to avoid this choice. Professor Roger's words came to her mind again.

"If this is your destiny, remember my advice... Endless strength and wisdom are the fruit of the viper."

……

Christmas is approaching, and Glamis Castle has been decorated with various festive decorations.In the main hall of the castle, there is a huge Christmas tree that is more than ten meters high. Senior students and professors decorated it with glittering ornaments and brightly colored ribbons. The pharmacy professor even watered inexplicable water under the tree. The gray-blue liquid makes the cold white mist rise, adding a dreamy and misty color to the Christmas tree.

In the past few days, Ella has been taking various magic courses day after day. Compared with the average grades in other courses, her performance in the spell class is amazing and eye-catching.Because no matter what spell Aurora taught in that class, Ella could learn it in class. On the first few simpler spells, the pure-blood aristocratic boy Heller could barely compete with Ella. Comparable.But as the difficulty of the course progressed, he began to struggle.

In the end, when Professor Aurora drew the spell that was expected to take the students a week to learn, Ira became the only student in the classroom who learned the spell on the spot.

It was a mantra pronounced "Shigel" which means the sun. When Ella said this syllable, a pale fireball floated in the mid-air of the classroom. Its cold light shone throughout the classroom, releasing the magic. The girl seemed to have lost all her strength and slowly collapsed on the table, and the pale white fireball was extinguished.

Even Professor Aurora couldn't keep a calm smile on her face this time.After confirming that Ella had just used too much magic, she carried the girl across her arms and went through the birdcage-like elevator to the principal's office on the upper floor of the castle.

Ella woke up from her deep sleep when she felt something cold but sweet being stuffed into her mouth.She found Ling, Professor Aurora, and Adolf standing beside her anxiously.

"That's a licorice candy, Ella. You'll feel better if you eat it."

An old man who looked like a flower farmer came down from the steps beside him and sat behind the oak table. There were some snacks and a few old books on the table.Ella still remembered the old man who appeared at the opening ceremony. He was the principal of Kraft School, Albert Kleist.

Ella chewed a few times and swallowed the sweet fudge.

The big Adolf breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her wake up,

"Great little Ella, thank you for waking up, if something happens to you, Yusef will definitely kill me for it when he comes back!"

"What's wrong with me?"

Principal Kleist came over, handed Ella another cup of honey tea, and squatted in front of her.

"It's not a big problem. You may feel a little dizzy now, but that's just the sequelae of excessive use of magic power. Just take a sleep and you'll be fine." The old man had a kind but wise smile on his face.

"Are you Miss Ella Williams? I remember every one of my students. You are the most outstanding child in this year's magic test ceremony. Not surprisingly, I will be your theology teacher next year. Come on, After drinking this cup of honey tea first, little girls should like this sweet drink, this is the Black Forest honey from Germany, and I also like its taste very much.”

"Thank you, Professor Kleist."

Ella took a sip of honey tea and became a little more energetic.

"Aurora, please take Miss Ling back first. My child, don't worry about your friend. She is fine. It's just that I, an old man, still want to say a few words to her."

Ella also nodded to Ling, who said that he would leave some dinner for Ella in the dormitory.

After Kleist sat back on Oak Zhuo, Adolf also stayed in the principal's office under his signal.

"Ella, Yusuf told me about your experience before he left."

Ella's body tensed up for no reason.

"After going through terrible things, I believe that the human spirit and reason will become stronger, but this is not enough for you to learn such advanced magic... Ella, you should be secretly using Hermes eye?"

Ella was silent for a moment, some secrets in her heart could not be hidden in Kleist's penetrating gaze, so she nodded.

Ella still occasionally dreams about that day, seeing familiar faces slowly melting away in front of her. In her dreams, those faces are replaced by people around her, such as Ling, Yusef or her new friends at school.

But what frightened her the most was not those terrible scenes, but the cold emotions coming from inside her body. Ella simply believed that if her magic was stronger, those scenes would not happen, and neither would she. Falling into that kind of deep questioning and self-blame, he began to learn magic like crazy, and even used that weird mirror.

In these days of life, she left the indifferent environment of Uncle Henry's house and met some people who really cared about her. Ella gradually felt that she began to care about the people around her, and she began to be afraid that if she lost these, she would Return to the original indifference.

Kleist looked into her eyes.

"I think you should have a reason for pursuing powerful magic. You don't need to tell me now, but don't use that mirror too often."

He paused, smiled and said,

"However, the progress of geniuses should indeed be faster than others. I will arrange for Adolf to give you individual tutoring lessons."

Chapter 11 Adolf’s worries

It was getting late at night, and Ella followed him in Adolf's teacher's robe.Although Ella thought she was perfectly well, Adolf insisted on taking her back to the dormitory.Looking at it now, this man is indeed unbelievably strong. Adolf, who took off his classroom robe, only wore a thin shirt, and the outline of his thick muscles was more obvious. His height was more than seven feet, and he was taller than Ella, who is much smaller than her peers, is not even as long as his legs.

Ella had just finished her make-up lessons with him, and Adolf first checked whether her sanity had been damaged.Although Kleist's judgment is beyond doubt, it will not hurt to be a little more careful, these are Adolf's original words.

In this remedial class, Adolf did not teach her some more advanced spells as Ella thought. He just chatted about various things about himself and Yousef when they were students. They learned spells for the first time. Dilemmas from time to time, and some other jokes.

Ella laughed softly from time to time, and the gloom in her heart dissipated a lot.

But at this time, Adolf changed the topic,

"Ella, as I said, when Yusef and I were in the first grade, our magic power and mental strength were definitely not as good as yours, but if we really fight, you will not be the opponent of any of us at that time. You Do you know why?"

"Maybe it's because...Professor you were five feet tall when you were ten?"
