It was already evening. After hiding in the fallen leaves for less than two hours, Ella felt that the temperature was getting lower and lower, but the monster still had not appeared.
Not only the surrounding temperature, Ella's heart also slowly cooled down.
Is it really me?Maybe that monster will appear only when I am asleep, yes, I will start to move involuntarily, sucking blood, maybe even Ling will be in danger...
At this time, under the fallen leaves, Ella felt a warm little hand grabbing her own.She trembled all over, then calmed down, pulled herself together and looked forward again.
The night was getting darker, and only a few dim stars could be seen in the forest. Because of the climate, most of the crows and other resident birds followed Ling's call.They stopped on dead branches and made strange noises like human hoarse laughter.
Suddenly, Ayla seemed to see a black shadow shaking in the distance, which didn't seem to be an illusion, because it was darker than the surrounding night.
It was a man covered in black robes. He chanted a spell that Ella had never heard before, and the crows fell from the branches one after another as if they were petrified.
Ella felt a strong anger. She didn't do anything, but was treated as a monster by those classmates and seniors, and the culprit behind the scenes dared to come out and do these terrible things.The grievance and anger instantly suppressed the little fear in her heart.
Ella quietly touched the Eye of Hermes, her thin figure was gradually outlined on the mirror, and the huge magic power gradually gathered.
She suddenly jumped out from the pile of dead leaves, and the spell had been instantly connected with the magic element in her mind. She used ancient runes to recite the spell she completed in the dormitory for the first time, which she knew so far. One of the few attack spells for :
"flame!"
Fierce, viscous streams of molten lava gushed out of Ayla's palm, but before they hit the man in black, Ayla uttered the second syllable,
"Siegel!"
That was the most advanced spell she had ever learned in spell lessons, and it meant the sun.
A pale ball of light rose above her head, emitting an icy light.The magic that was supposed to be a golden ball of light turned into a strange pale white color because of Ella's magic power, which lacked the sacred aura it should have, adding a bit of evil and strange feeling.
Her body then floated into the air, and streams of pale fire swept forward like snakes.
Ling just crawled out of the dead leaves and forgot to stand up for a moment.Any magician here will be surprised that using magic is not as simple as reciting a spell or waving a wand like in a storybook.Every time you use a spell, you have to build a magical connection in your mind, which is essentially a destruction of your own sanity.And Ella recited spells one after another almost without pausing. Perhaps an elderly wizard with a strong mind can do this, but she is only a nine-year-old girl!It wouldn't be surprising if she instantly turned into a lunatic, or lost control and turned into a monster.
The figure in the black robe was originally froze because of someone's sudden appearance. When he saw the two students in the darkness clearly, there was already overwhelming red and white in front of him.
Before the storm of flames was extinguished, the shadow rushed out in embarrassment, and began to run quickly into the shadow of the forest.
"Don't run away!"
Ella shouted angrily and chased after her.
Chapter No.16 Don't Kill
Visibility in the forest late at night was poor, and Ella could only see the vague shadow of the man.
The girl staggered in pursuit in the forest, quickly pushing aside the bushes in front of her with her hands, and throwing a fireball in front of her from time to time. The fire light tore through the darkness in a short time to reveal the road ahead, but in the blink of an eye, she was covered by the tide of night. Cover again.
Ling's speed was faster, and she quickly overtook Ayla from behind, and swiftly shuttled among the trees.Every time he borrowed strength, he could jump a long distance, and it seemed that he could catch up to that black shadow in just a few steps.
The black shadow rushed out of the sea of flames, obviously injured, and his steps were a little unsteady.
Ella gradually calmed down, and felt a little uneasy. The adult magician who could perform petrification had no reason to be afraid of them. Although they only met each other, it undoubtedly looked like a human being, or a humanoid creature.Either way, it shouldn't be afraid of the two little girl magic apprentices who can use the petrification spell.
Maybe it was just because the creature was worried that the fluctuation of magic power would attract the school's law enforcement team.Ella suppressed the wavering in her heart, and began to prepare to chant the next spell.
At this time, Ling had caught up with the shadow, and she drew out the Cossack dagger. The blunt knife may not be able to cut apples, but it is a natural enemy for mages full of magic power. It is as smooth as a hot knife through butter. pierced the human body.
Ayla clearly saw the short sword passing through the shoulder of the figure in black robe, but Ling took a few steps back in horror.
"Ella, don't come here, this is a trap!"
But it was too late, Ayla was less than two meters away from Ling, and the black-robed man fell back on the ground, revealing his face.
It was a scarecrow wearing a paper smiley mask.
A strange smiling face full of sarcasm.
-
Ella suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave, and took a step back in shock. She suddenly felt a wave of magic from behind, and was about to turn her head and throw a fireball, but only halfway through the turn, she felt her body become stagnant.
The things in front of Aila seemed to be covered with a layer of blue-gray glass, and her whole body was like bearing gears that were stuck due to lack of engine oil. It seemed that even the blood was about to freeze. Then, she and Ling fell straight on the ground. on the ground.
Ella was terrified and furious. She had only experienced this sense of despair and terror from the monsters in the factory, and those melted flesh and human bodies appeared before her eyes again.She began to regret, if she knew earlier, those misunderstandings and rumors would be fine, it would not affect anything, Kleist would not fire herself because of this, Christmas is coming, Yusef is coming back, I haven't sent him, Adolf, and my roommate's Christmas presents yet.
By the way, Ling, Ling is also here now, she is the one who has always believed in me, she took me to the cafeteria to steal things, attended classes together, and even prepared ritual magic for me to clear the suspicion.It was I who killed her. If possible, it would be nice to let her survive alone.
Thinking of this, Ella began to desperately think of some spell, but not only her tongue, but also her thinking began to become stagnant.Not long after, there was only a blue-gray fog in front of my eyes, and I could only hear some vague voices, as if I had fallen into a nightmare. I knew I woke up, but I couldn't move, I couldn't think, and I couldn't open my eyes.
First came the sound of approaching footsteps, Ella's heartbeat was frighteningly fast, and she felt something cold and hard against the back of her head, it was probably a hard metal cane or something else.
Am I going to die?
As the pressure in the back of her head grew, the idea became clear in Ella's mind. Although she could only come up with a few simple thoughts, the instinct of life made her feel that she was on the verge of death.
But the heavy pressure no longer strengthened, and Ella felt the cane leave her head.The footsteps gradually became distant, and she heard a vague sigh from the man.
Although I don't know why, the murderous intent to stab people has indeed faded away.
……
After an unknown period of time, the effectiveness of magic has begun to weaken.But Ella still felt extremely stiff. They had been lying on the ground for a long time, and there were even quite a few snowflakes in the sky.If this continues, she and Ling will be frozen to death in this forest without the black-robed man doing anything.
Why didn't Adolf show up?Ella felt a little confused. She remembered that the tall professor had said that she had cast a tracking spell on herself. Although this made Ella feel a little awkward, it was indeed a reliable security guarantee.
Probably the man in black robe discovered the magic and did something.Thinking like this, Ayla tried to move herself, but it was as if her whole body was filled with mercury, so heavy that she couldn't even move a single finger.
As ironic as it may sound, two girls who survived a dangerous magician might freeze to death.
At this time, there were footsteps trampling on the snow and dead leaves.
Who is it this time?Let's hope it wasn't that person who suddenly changed his mind and came back to kill them.
The owner of the footsteps seemed to have discovered something, and the sound of stepping on the snow became hurried.
"Hey, are you okay? Miss Ling, why is it you again... Are you still alive?"
It was Anderson, the Professor of Magical Biology who lived in the corner building of the Hunting Ground. The professor picked up Ling first, and Ella seemed not to be noticed for a while because her hair color was too similar to the snow.
Ling struggled and moved his finger, pointing at Ira, and Anderson realized that there was a student lying there.
“Miss Williams?! Why are you two every time.”
Anderson was surprised. He checked the breathing and pulse of the two of them, then put them on his left and right shoulders respectively, and left the woods.
……
Ella fully regained consciousness in Anderson's hut. The professor of magic biology did not live in the dormitory in the castle. He usually lived in a stone house at the corner of the farm.
The burning flames in the fireplace gradually dispelled the coldness of the two girls. They had no extra energy to celebrate the joy of survival, but looked at each other with tired smiles, and collapsed on a buckskin sofa in the stone house.
Anderson's stone house is very small, and those handmade wooden furniture can be said to be crude in Kraft School.
Anderson brought two cups of hot cocoa and some buttery shortbread.
"Eat some, I just helped you dispel the magic of petrification, you need some food to restore your strength."
Ella took a bite of the butter shortbread and felt its soft texture. It slowly melted in her mouth and turned into streams of heat without chewing.
"So sweet..."
Ella's eyes lit up, and she took another big bite.
"Really?" Anderson looked a little happy. "This is my wife's specialty dessert. I only learned a little from her. Maybe you can visit my house this winter vacation and she will bake you some better desserts."
He showed an expression as if he was thinking about something,
"I also miss that smell a little bit, after all, I haven't been back for almost a whole year."
"Do you miss her, Professor Anderson?"
"Yeah, of course, I miss her, but you know Ella, it's better for our kind of people not to spend too much time with ordinary people, so I only go back seven days a year, seven days."
Anderson made a number with his hand, then turned the subject back.
"Adolf's tracking magic on you has been shielded by some kind of power. I have eliminated it just now. It won't be long before Adolf will come to pick you up. Before that, Aila, I want to ask, are you on the way?" Found that... um... blood-sucking monster in the woods?"
"Yes Professor, we were close to catching it, but fell into its trap."
Ling gritted his teeth in answer.
But Ella showed a puzzled expression. She thought of the metal cane that was pressed against the back of her head after she was petrified.
"He could have killed us, but he gave up in the end. Why?"
Anderson paced back and forth in the room,
"I don't know, but maybe that thing didn't intend to hurt people in the first place. For so long, it only attacked animals in the school. But it's too dangerous, you must not try it a second time."
"Professor, we saw that thing, he was wearing a black cloak, in human form."
Anderson raised his eyebrows and replied,
"This is a good clue. Don't worry, it won't be long before Adolf and I will catch that monster."
At this time, there was a hasty knock on the door, and Adolf rushed over just as Professor Anderson said.
He first scolded Ella and Ling severely, and told them over and over again worryingly.
"Ayla, do you know how high the death rate of the mysterious incident is? You may not have such good luck next time. If you don't want Yusef to only see your grave when he returns to school, Then don't do this kind of thing again, understand?"
Ella listened carefully to all of Adolf's accusations, and she knew that these were words that only those who really cared about themselves would say.
"I see, Professor."
Chapter No.17 The End of the Fairy Tale
Kleist notified the whole school, saying that a certain dangerous black magician had sneaked into the school, but he had already been wounded by the first-year freshman Ella last night, and he would not appear again for a short time.
Kleist praised Ella and Ling with this, and as a result, most of the rumors about Ella in the school disappeared.Instead, the original students came to see her as a hero and a magical genius.
