Adolf looked a little ugly.

"Of course, because the gold coins make you look taller, which fits the guest's description."

The old man said so.

Chapter 7 Contact Loss

After receiving the room key, Adolf asked the innkeeper for the last two remaining rooms.After questioning, Adolf learned that Yousef had given orders not to clean up the room before he left, so it remained as it was three days ago.

"How did Yusef get out of here?"

Adolf frowned and used the old brass key to open the wooden door on the left side of the second floor.

"He should have found the cave where the human-faced thorns grew, but that's not right. Before Ella arrived here, it would be meaningless to find the human-faced thorns in advance. Maybe he was going to verify the information?"

The wooden door creaked open, and inside was a neat and simple room, which was quite different from the overall messy Golden Sunshine Hotel, probably organized by Yousef himself.

On the desk was a letter signed by Howard Youssef.Adolf opened it, and on it was his familiar handwriting:

"Adolf & Ella,

I think, when Adolf found this letter, you must have reached the town of Sartre.I have left a simple spell on this letter, if anyone other than you opens it, it will burn to ashes, Ella, this is the first lesson I leave you, deal with this group in the west Scum and scum need some basic precautions, even though they are just a group of ordinary people who don't know magic.

A few days ago, I found clues about the human-faced thorns. It is said that gold diggers found this plant in the pit of the Sibilla Factory. I checked several times to confirm the authenticity of this rumor.But I don't know why, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable there, the appearance of this prehistoric plant should not be accidental.This time I decided to do a relatively detailed investigation. If I haven't returned after reading this letter, it proves that things are a little more troublesome than I thought.

If you are lucky and arrive within three days of my departure, there will be a human-faced thorn plant under the bed board. By then, its juice should have dried up, but it may still have a little effect. If After three days, there's just some stinky powder left under the slats, and I suggest you flush it down the drain.

May NO.17, Howard Yusef. "

Adolf shook the letter, chanted a mantra silently and burned it to ashes, then went to the bed board and groped for a cloth bag wrapped in soil.

It was not much different from the thorns on the human face that Adolf himself brought to Kraft, except that the head-like nodules were not completely dry, and looked fuller.

Ella stared at the wrinkled face, her face was a little pale, she held the nodule in her hands, not knowing how to use it, she just hoped that she didn't need to bite directly.

"You can use it to make tea, or boil it in an alchemy vessel. I think the latter is more efficient." Adolf suggested.

The human-face thorns were finally chopped and put into a crucible, and boiled with water to form a somewhat viscous black liquid.

It exudes an indescribable strange smell, like eggs that have been rotten in the cupboard in midsummer, or stinky socks that have been soaked in water for half a month.

What was even more unacceptable to Ella was that there was a layer of yellow oil floating on the less than [-] ml of liquid in the crucible.

"It's just a plant, it's just a plant..."

Ella murmured to herself, then pinched her nose and poured them down her throat.

The girl first felt a burning sensation in her stomach, and she forced herself not to vomit. After a while, the magic power that had been dormant for a long time began to throb. This feeling was even stronger than in Kraft at that time.

Ella tried to use this feeling to re-establish the magical connection in the brain, and she tried to outline the shape of the flame in her mind, which was the most proficient incantation she had mastered.But when she was about to build successfully, a tearing pain swept over again.The pain spread from the head to the whole body. Ella knelt on the ground, holding her head tightly, her nails almost digging into her scalp.

Ling nervously wanted to take a step forward, but was blocked by Adolf's arm. The professor shook his head, observing Ella's changes, ready to interrupt the process at any time.

The pain quickly dissipated, and the girl weakly leaned against the wall and stood up with support.

Although she can't use the spell yet, the thorns on the human face are obviously effective. At least she can meditate again. Ella tapped the center of her eyebrows twice, and her spiritual vision was opened again after a long absence.

Ella smiled weakly,

"It works very well, maybe as long as I find fresh human-faced thorns, I can fully recover."

Adolf heaved a sigh of relief. They had only read about the healing effect of the thorn on the human face in ancient books. After all, this plant had been extinct for hundreds of years.Until now, the aftereffects of Ella's excessive use of magic power can be considered as a sure hope of treatment.

At this time, Adolf has prepared the ritual to summon the messenger. He only needs to contact Yusef, and they can rush over now.

The space in the room became a little strange. Alice felt that there might be something wrong with her eyes, or something wrong with her brain. After all, in these short ten minutes, she saw too many incredible things. As if by magic, Adolf burned the envelope, the plant that looked like a human head.But now, she feels that the ordinary room in front of her has become an oil painting canvas. She can't tell where the change has occurred, but the colors in the air seem to have become more vivid, the yellow is more yellow, and the black is more vivid. The black ones are blacker, and the white ones are whiter.

In the end, they scrambled the paint in the water, forming a tiny ripple.

To Ira's surprise, what squeezed out of the ripples was not the little messenger she was familiar with wearing a top hat and looking like a shriveled baby. What was outlined in the color block was a bat-like creature. What was different was its Eight small spider-like eyes grow on its forehead, which makes its rodent head look more like a spider.

Adolf explained that the messenger in the top hat belonged to Kleist, while this one belonged to Howard Yosef.

Professor Adolf handed the prepared letter to the messenger, but it shook its head, did not accept it, and made an almost indistinguishable whistling sound.

Adolf seemed to hear this sound, and after a moment, his expression became very wonderful.

"You mean you can't contact Yusef now, why?"

The bat-like messenger became a bit awkward, it seemed unable to express such a complicated question with its intelligence.

"Let me ask, if yes, you just nod, if not, you flap your wings twice, understand?"

The eight eyes of the messenger stared at Adolf, and then nodded.

"You were so stupid that Yusef got a new messenger?"

Adolf touched his beard and asked.

The messenger flapped his wings and bared his teeth in protest.

"Okay...no kidding, you can't get in where Yusef is now."

The messenger nodded.

"You dare not go in there because it's dangerous."

It flaps its wings twice.

"That's...that area has special properties, you can't teleport it."

It nods.

"The last question, is Yusuf in danger now?"

Bat Xin scratched his chin with his winged claws, and then remained motionless.

"Can't you confirm?"

This time I got an affirmative answer.

Adolf was lost in thought.

Chapter 8 Preparation

After the messenger left, Adolf was silent for a long time, as if he was making a difficult decision.

Alice and his wife were politely asked to leave the room, and Adolf squeezed himself into the sofa.

The size of the single sofa in the hotel was really too small for him. It took a lot of effort for the tall and strong Professor Adolf to squeeze himself in. The wooden board under the leather cushion made an overwhelming sound of breaking, and the sofa was completely downward. It's dented, but thankfully it hasn't completely collapsed.

He stopped moving and found that he was sitting still.So he opened his mouth and said:

"Okay, Ella, Ling, let's start the first class. Do you remember the old seal that Kleist taught you before you left?"

"Of course, I remember the old seal about the ocean."

"Yes, dark ocean, now, go find a piece of parchment and try to draw it."

Then, he dug out the magic material from the suitcase and put it on the table.

"Here's the mercury and coarse salt you need."

Looking at Adolf's serious face, Ella vaguely guessed some of the professor's plans. She can't use magic now, and only by drawing the old seal can she be counted into the combat power again.

Ella recalled Kleist's description, sucked the coarse salt mixed with mercury into the quill, and began to draw a twisted figure that spread downward from the plane.

Water is the medium that connects the spiritual world and the physical world, and large amounts of water are described by magicians as buffers, or barriers to the dream world.

"Ocean of Darkness" records the power of guardianship.

The old seal is similar to the incantation recorded with graphics. It is similar in essence to the spells chanted by magicians. The incantation builds connections through meditation and describes the essence of elements with words, while the old seal uses graphics to describe this relationship.

The difference is that the spells can only describe simple elements, so as to gain power, because the language itself contains magic.The drawn graphics are much inferior to the language in this aspect, so the old seal cannot contact simple magic elements to gain power. The objects it describes can only point to "greater existence", describe its essence, and record its Sound, in this way brings power.

Ella has drawn the last downward curve, the entire symbol forms a twisted funnel, and Ling is almost finished.

After waiting for a while, Ling had finished drawing. Adolf took the two pieces of parchment and pasted them on the two ceramic cups on the table.

Under the watchful eyes of Ella and Ling, he casually threw two balls of fire on the ceramic cup.

Before the flame touched the cup, it seemed that it encountered some invisible force and was unable to move forward.The old seals on the parchment gradually faded over time. The old seal drawn by Ling disappeared first. The ceramic cup was quickly blackened by the flames. After more than ten seconds, the one drawn by Ella also disappeared. played a role.

"Very well, both old seals are effective, and Ayla's degree of completion is higher. Carrying the old seal of "Ocean" can resist danger and malice. Different old seals have different effects. Now, I will teach You draw another old seal."

Ella thought of what she had won, the Kraft Old Seal Second Class Medal, and she took the silver pendant off her neck.

"Professor Adolf, what is the effect of the old seal on this pendant?"

Adolf scratched his hair with an embarrassed expression.

"The effect of the Star Seal has not been fully analyzed yet. It is said that its holder will become lucky, but no one can confirm this, but the Old Star Seal does have magic fluctuations, and it does exert a certain effect. That’s for sure.”

Ella caressed the silver pendant blankly, looking at the twisted five-pointed star carved on it, she was a little speechless.

Adolf coughed slightly,

"Okay, now I'll teach you how to draw the second old seal, it's called the Seal of Melet, it's a one-time consumable, throw it, and say the word Melet, you can make people within a radius of two meters with it as the center creatures fell into a deep sleep."

As he spoke, Adolf used a quill pen to draw a twisted and weird musical note stroke by stroke on the parchment.

"The great being that Melete symbolizes points to, which symbolizes contemplation, silence, and sleep. Quiet singing will make people fall asleep."

Under the guidance of Adolf, after several attempts, Ella and Ling also mastered the spell.

"Very good, so I can rest assured. These are ordinary people who don't know magic, but it's safer this way..."

"Leave? Professor, do you want to go to Professor Yusuf alone, and I-"

Ella was stunned for a while. She originally thought that Adolf taught them the old seal to regain her combat power and participate in this operation, but the facts seemed to be quite different from what she thought.

"Yes, alone, Ella, if there is no danger there, then I will meet up with Yousef soon, and then come back to you. If it is the other way around, then you will not be able to provide much help now, it is better to stay in the relative In a safe place, report to the school."

Ella is no longer the impulsive child she used to be. She quickly distinguished the stakes and nodded silently.

"If I don't come back within a week, then contact Kleist via messenger, and you stay here and prepare to contact the people at the school."

Adolf continued:
