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

"Not Pol?—get out of here, this is not the place for brats!"

Ayla raised her palm to signal that she was not hostile.

The ghoul was amazed that it did not read fear in the young girl's eyes.

Ella observed the environment behind the ghouls, obviously, this was their lair.

There were several ghouls lying on the ground scattered with bones. Behind the monsters was a simple shack, which looked like a scene from the Mansour Road slums.

"We are not hostile. The Sergeant Ball you mentioned, that is, the wizard Lawrence, is dead. Let me introduce myself. I am a magician from a foreign land, Ella Williams."

"Pool is dead?"

The ghoul seemed to have heard something very funny, and laughed so hard that it couldn't breathe.

"You mean Pol, the accursed, damned fiend, is dead?"

"Yes."

Ella's voice was calm.

After a long time, it seemed to accept the result, and lowered its head to look directly into the girl's eyes.

"...how did he die?"

"My companion and I killed him."

Ayla heard the hostility towards Lawrence from the ghoul's words, so she answered truthfully.

"How do you want to prove it?"

Ella thought for a while, and took out a glass tube, which contained an eyeball and gray cerebrospinal fluid, which were the materials she collected from Lawrence's mutated corpse to bring back to Glamis.

The ghoul held out a gnarly, gigantic hand, and the five-inch glass tube held it like a toothpick.It pulled out the cork with the tip of its sharp claws and moved closer to its face.

"It is indeed his smell..."

After a moment of silence, it spoke again, with a hint of fear in its voice.

"Your name is Ella Williams, isn't it... Then, Miss Williams, what are you and your companions here for?"

Ella didn't know how to answer for a while, it was a matter of course to find the ghouls hiding in the ground and complete the purification.But in the face of these monsters living below that still have human consciousness, she no longer knows what to do.

The leading ghoul pointed behind him, where there was a thin ghoul curled up on the ground. It should be the first ghoul discovered by the three of them.

"My name is Suharto. We were originally poor people from the ruins of the factory on Mansour Road. Some were indentured workers who smuggled in, or homeless people who sneaked into the merchant ships, and there were also disabled people in the town... That man, Bol, He has turned us into this ghost!"

"After turning into a monster, only flesh and blood can relieve hunger, but we have never harmed the residents of the island. Recently, there are almost no rats in the ground... Recently, there are militiamen and townspeople patrolling everywhere on the island. We dare not go up and look for food."

"This child's name is Johanna. He was only five years old when he became what he is now. He can't stand it any longer..."

"We don't want to hurt anyone... because we are human, not monsters..."

Suharto's voice began to whimper, and he fell to his knees, covering his face with his claws.But the ghoul won't shed tears after all, only the jet-black blood that flows out from between its fingers is scratched by sharp claws.

Chapter 45 Flames

Mansour Road, Rosa Veritt's Residence

The wall clock rang, it was already late at night, and Rosa looked out the dark window.

"It's so late, Miss Williams and the others still haven't come back, isn't there any danger?"

Jack stared at the empty wine bottles in a daze. He had drank all the few bottles of wine in Rosa's house in the past few days.

"Don't worry, although I don't know much about Mr. Belusay... but Ella and Ling have both experienced events that are countless times more dangerous than this."

"Hey? Is there anything more dangerous than the current situation?"

Miss Rosa felt that it was probably not the same world as the one she lived in.

When did this feeling of separation start?

Many years ago, when her family was complete, her father, a sailor, would tell her romantic stories before going to bed.

She had fantasized about magic and that colorful world and believed she was in it too—until a shipwreck cost her everything and she was stranded on this strange island.

Now she is just an ordinary woman who relies on her body to make a living in a foreign country, living in a world that has no chance of romance.

And now, the two worlds that are far apart stretch out their transparent tentacles to each other again.

The night seemed a little darker than usual, so even the tiny fires in the distance became clear to the eyes.

The flames stung her pupils.

"What are those people doing?"

Jack stood up suddenly, his expression contorted.

But he quickly regained his composure, and lit the old seal that symbolized the deep sea, allowing dark blue water patterns to appear in the space beside him.

Without saying a word, Jack carried Miss Rosa on his shoulders and jumped down from the second floor!

The wooden buildings were engulfed by the dazzling flames, and under the flames, the figures who looked a little hideous threw their torches at the houses and the streets. The smell of whale oil and burning wood mixed with the stench of scorched flesh rolled up thick smoke!

The fire snake engulfed the ruins of the factory and entangled the trees and houses. The fire was almost uncontrollable from the very beginning, and the special smell of burning oil was very strong.The few homeless people who found the fire picked up buckets and tried to extinguish the flames with water from the drain, but the flames did not diminish at all, but became more ferocious.

"There's a fire! Run away!"

The residents who were awakened panicked, cries and the sound of objects colliding sounded one after another. With the bridge over the drain as the boundary, the slums where Mansour Road was located began to burn!

"This...this is!"

Rosa watched the scene over Jack's shoulder, unable to believe the hellish scene in front of her.Everything was burning to the ground, and the fire quickly engulfed the row houses and was about to spread to this place. You could feel the heat waves burning your skin from dozens of meters away!

More and more residents gave up controlling the fire and flocked to the stone bridge and to the safe upper city, bounded by the drain.

"boom!!"

Neat gunshots rang out, and the first group of homeless people fell to the ground.The militiamen and clergy stood guard on the other side of the bridge, using bullets and spears to force the approaching people into the water or shoot them on the spot!

"Why do such a thing?"

"Stop! We didn't do anything!"

"Damn it, I'm hurt... blood, help me stop the bleeding!"

"Oh, God!"

"Dad...Dad..."

"..."

On that night, a raging fire of unknown origin ignited in the lower city where Mansour Street on Tangerang Island is located.The priests of the Paramount sect and the residents of the upper city blocked the only bridge connecting the two places, blood and flames stained the sky red.

-

What should I do?

Ella didn't understand anymore, she really couldn't see Suharto crying in front of her as a monster.She loosened her clenched fist, and her nails left whitish marks on her palm.

But at this time, there was a wave of magical power behind Ella.

Ling tightly grasped a piece of parchment, and began to chant, it was the spell of the sun domain, with the power of purification.

She turned around and threw Ling to the ground, snatching the Seal of Helios from her hands. The parchment quickly wrinkled in their hands, and then was pulled again, finally making a tearing sound.

"What are you doing!"

Ella's voice was so loud that it startled her, and she noticed that she was touching the collar of her friend's shirt.

"Purify the ghouls, this is what must be done."

Ling's voice sounded calm, but there was an unnoticeable tremor hidden in it.

"But they're still human!"

Although she had already prepared, Ella still couldn't believe that she would hear this sentence from the other party, and an inexplicable emotion quickly occupied the girl's heart.

She vaguely knew the reason for Ling's abnormality, but even so, she still didn't want to believe that the other party would make such a choice.

"No... they are not anymore, they must be purified... otherwise, otherwise—!"

Ling roared and swung her arm away, stood up again, took a few steps back, and took out an old seal again.

Ella shook her head and stood in front of Suharto.

"Ling!"

"Ayla... get out of the way!"

Hyde was frightened and stood still on the spot, while Suharto felt the threat, stepped back and let out a deterrent growl.

In the darkness, there was the sound of water droplets falling on the ground.

What broke the stalemate was the violent shock from the ground, and the three of them sent an early warning at the same time. This was the magic they left behind in Verette's house. Rosa and Jack were in danger!

"How? Lawrence is dead, and all the ghouls are here. Why are they in danger?"

Hyde couldn't help being surprised, but there was no time to think now.

"As you like."

Ling put down the old seal, her voice was very weak, she turned and ran towards the ground.

Ella was silent for a few seconds, then followed without saying a word.

According to the marks left behind, the three of them returned to the ground quickly, and the first thing they saw was the fire that soared into the sky!The choking smoke enveloped the whole world, making it difficult to breathe, and every breath of air was mixed with heat!

The three of them unanimously began to draw the rune that generates clear water, which was the rune script they learned in the first spell class when they were enrolled.

"Raguz!"

The clear water gathered into a huge water ball in front of the three of them and threw it into the burning fire, but surprisingly, the fire returned to its original state the instant it dimmed!

"This is no ordinary flame!"

Ayla turned on her spirit vision, and in the flames, there were countless small light spots moving irregularly. They seemed to have life, and they cheered up the fire, harvesting the dead souls in the fire!

The magical aura possessed by those light spots is not too strong, as long as they spend enough time, they can completely disperse these light spots, but before that, the streets will be completely burned!

Jack's figure broke through the flames and appeared in front of the three of them. Dim water patterns protected him and Miss Rosa, who was carried by Jack on his shoulders, but the water patterns were already crumbling and completely disappeared after he broke through the flames.
