Yousef leaned down on the bank of the river with a sullen face, dripped several reagents into the underground river one after another, and tried to read a few spells on it, then thought for a few seconds, and dusted the front of his robe.

"I think I probably understand it, and this also verifies one of my previous guesses."

"What guess? Where is Ella?"

"She is my student, I am more anxious than you!"

Yosef pushed away Adolf's hand grabbing his collar.

"I guessed before that this cave might be related to the Prophet Sibylah. If it is true, then the body of water here may be the 'gate' left by the Prophet, and Ayla has gone to the other side of the gate."

"Now that I know—!"

"Listen to me!"

Yusef rubbed his eyebrows,

"Even if we know it, it will be difficult to find her. We don't have the key that can cause and effect with the door."

"What about Ayla? How could she have the key to the causal existence with the prophet hundreds of years ago."

Adolf found it hard to accept;

"No, she has."

Yosef looked strange, and he began to notice disturbing coincidences. From the time he led the girl to Kraft School, perhaps these had been predicted by the prophet.

"The Eye of Hermes is Sibylla's creation."

"You mean that damn mirror?"

Adolf was stunned.

-

Ella's consciousness was gradually withdrawn, and it was already difficult for her to maintain her connection with the body. She could not use magic power or resist. At this point in the ceremony, it was almost an irreversible process to separate consciousness and body.

By this time, Ella felt less fear and more regret and worry.The graphics of the stick figures are still changing, interpreting the future of Ella Williams in an almost absurd form, but that has nothing to do with her.

The girl's consciousness sank into the dark and icy ocean, only a few weak threads of connection remained.

Because of this, she couldn't see that at the end of that ridiculous graffiti, there was a little bit of desperate blackness.

It is also presented on the stone wall in an abstract and ridiculous form, but the crazy despair, depression and distortion are almost overflowing.

"This—what is this!"

The shadow took a step back in a panic, but the stick figure changed again, a crack opened in the center of the darkness, revealing a lifeless one-eyed.

The moment the one-eyed eye appeared, Shadow let out a scream, and she pressed the palms of her hands against her eyeballs, almost digging them out!Blood seeped out from her nostrils, eyeballs, and mouth.

"No, I don't believe it, I don't want to bear this fate for her! I'm not her, this shouldn't be my ending!!"

The shadows frantically attacked the murals, summoning pale flames, flying ice and snow, condensing darkness into dark spears, and outlining strange light balls connected end to end out of thin air. Some of them were spells mastered by Ayla, and some It was a powerful spell that Ella had never heard of!But these rioting magical turbulences did not leave even a trace, and disappeared without a trace in front of the wall.

"Sibyl! You have seen the future, and you have known everything, right? That's why you risked using incomplete rituals to ascend to the throne! Damn woman, I won't give in to your arrangements !"

The shadow took several steps back and chanted the incantation again, accompanied by the curse:

"Come back here, who will bear your damn, unlucky, disgusting fate!"

Ella's consciousness that was originally floating in the darkness began to become a little clearer again.

The girl seemed to hear someone calling her, but the connection was too weak to stop her disembodied process.

Shadow quickly discovered this, and she took out the bronze mirror angrily, and wiped off her wrist with the snake scale carving.

As the blood spurted on the mirror, her magic power began to surge, increase, continue to increase!The shadow born in the eyes of Hermes does not need to be afraid of the negative effects of this alchemy item, she can use it to the limit without hesitation!

The magic power that exceeded the limit of this body turned into circles of pale flame waves, sweeping across the ground, leaving deep marks on the already golden floor.

The pulling force suddenly increased several times, and Ella's consciousness was abruptly pulled back from that space bit by bit!

Ella woke up again, she was a little puzzled why the shadow would recall her consciousness.

"shadow?"

"Shut up, I will return my body to you now. Who would be willing to accept a future like yours!"

The blood loss made Shadow look pale, and maintaining such a large consumption of magic power was not something she could do easily.

"my future?"

"To shut up!"

The shadow is no longer willing to say anything more, Ella guessed that she should have seen something in the "Book of the Future", what is her own future?It would make the shadow give up taking her body, but now, this is not within the scope of Ella's need to think.

Whatever it was that changed Shadow, it was good for Ella, she needed to regain control of her body, take control, lest Shadow had other plans.

Contrary to Ella's expectations, the shadow seems to have really given up completely. She can say that she regained control of her body very smoothly. The perception of her limbs and torso began to recover slowly, and the control of magic power returned to Ella again. hands.

She felt a stinging around her eyes, and her physical condition was not very optimistic, but all of this was indeed under Ella's control. Counting from four years ago, her current condition was as good as ever.

Ayla noticed that the shadow's consciousness had returned to the mirror, and there were some tiny cracks on the mirror of the Eye of Hermes, which were destroyed after the shadow recovered. In addition, the mirror appeared again. Ella's blurry reflection.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Ella heard the voice of the shadow ringing in her heart again, but it was just an ordinary magic. She clearly felt that the shadow existed in the Eye of Hermes, but it was more convenient to communicate in this way.

"What the hell did you see?"

"Don't think I'll answer this question, why don't you go and see for yourself? But I suggest you leave here directly and leave the Sibilla Cave with your friends. Anyway, your goal has been achieved, right?"

Shadow is right, but Ella is still very interested in her future. What will happen to make Shadow give up her body directly?

She looked at the stick figures on the stone wall, and they began to change again, like a disturbed palette.

"Hmph, whatever you want."

The shadow no longer made any sound, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Thank you for your concern, everything is basically fine, and the update will resume today~

Chapter 27 Umbilical Cord

Ella saw some familiar people or scenes on the stone wall. The stick figures used absurd forms to outline the main features of the characters, combined with exaggerated actions and scenes, it was easy for her to think of those familiar times.

She saw a man in a tuxedo with a big belly, it should be Henry.Behind him was a black factory with thick smoke. Henry took the big bags of banknotes and stuffed them behind him, with a businessman-like smirk on his face.

Behind the factory is the small two-story building at 304 Smith Street, where the mean aunt with a triangular cone-shaped chin lives, and there is a shrunken version of Henry, the son of Henry and his wife, Will.

Ella looked at them and the small building with complicated emotions.She remembered that Will and Aunt Triss had died four years ago in London, their bodies piled up in the streets with other victims.By now, Ella held no animosity towards them, just ordinary people living in London, victims of horrific events.

As she channeled her magic, the scene continued to change.

Ella saw another middle-aged man wearing a black robe who looked like a big bat. That should be Yusef.Professor Yusef brought the law enforcers to the factory and found himself. This was the beginning of everything.

She felt dazzled, so she rubbed her stinging eyes, but no matter how much she rubbed, she couldn't see herself clearly in the picture.

In these events, in her place, there is a vague black shadow, which is just a mess of meaningless black lines scribbled together.

Maybe when watching "Book of the Future", these ink blobs are used to replace the viewer, Ella understands this for the time being.

She strengthened the transmission of magic power, making the picture change quickly, and more and more characters appeared.There are the old principal Kleist dressed as a flower farmer, Ling, the tall Professor Adolf, and Anderson from the hunting ground... The time in the picture passes to winter, and small white dots appear on the picture, which represent snowflakes.

She saw herself returning to London, a simplified version of the Giethoorn streets and the "Ancient One" bar, the bald bearded Jack, and the tall and thin bartender whose name she never learned until the end.I saw George and his sister Merkle wearing a broken peaked cap under the bridge.

She already knew what would happen next, but she continued to watch quietly.

The stick figure representing the heir of the evil god Abhoth is a black and thin baby, which seems to be quite different from the later case records.

The baby is under the ice of the Thames, hands pounding on the ice, cracks are spreading, followed by a poisonous cloud of yellow-green.

In the stick figure, the residents of London were gradually stained with rust by the poisonous cloud, and then fell to the ground one after another.After that, there is Ella's magic ceremony and the blizzard.

The confrontation between Kleist wearing the triple crown of thorns and the black baby was reflected on the bronze gate on the Thames, and finally the son of evil god was banished.

At this time, a figure that Ella had never seen before appeared in the picture, he was suspended on the Thames River, the place where the Son of God was born.He bent down, picked up a bright red thing, and held it up high——

It appeared to be a small piece of blood-stained umbilical cord.

Then, he turned around, bowed to the weak Executor and Kleist on the bank, and disappeared on the river.

"The umbilical cord?"

The picture highlights the objects in the figure's hands, and even stays there for a few seconds.It seems that "Book of the Future" can not only predict the future, it can also be used to explore the past and find those missing details.From this point of view, its effect can be said to have surpassed the sum of the other two alchemy props of Sibilla, the Golden Cup and the Eye of Hermes!

The scenes then flowed, and the dull four years in Kraft passed by in a blink of an eye. She came to the west, came to this mine for various reasons, and entered the ruins of Sibylla.

What happened after that was the prediction of the future, Ella raised her attention.

She saw towering mountain peaks, thick smoke rising up from the mountain passes, covering the sky, dark gray clouds accumulating, darkness covering the earth, crops withering, and outbreaks of famine and plague.

The man who was last seen in the London incident reappeared, standing in the middle of the corpses and picking up another bloody umbilical cord.

Ella felt chills all over her body, and the number of victims in the picture even surpassed that of London. Is this the future they have to face.

She quickly controlled the shaking in her heart. This is just a prophecy, something that may happen in the future. Since she has seen it in advance, she can make preparations in advance. Even if the disaster cannot be prevented, the harm it will cause can be reduced .

So what did the shadow see?Ella didn't think this disaster would make Shadow give up control of her body.

She decided to read on,

The colors continued to rotate, and the tones became more gloomy and depressing. He saw people fighting together and Kleist standing on the Kraft Tower. Some changes occurred in his painting, except for some simple outlines. Outside, it's just a little bit of light.

Ella wanted to see more, but there was a stinging pain in her head, and the picture had been disrupted into messy colors again. With her level of magic power, it seemed that she could only see this place.

She still hasn't been able to see the future that even the shadows are afraid of. It is the future that made Sibyla give up immortality and take risks to become a god. What Ella saw before is not enough.

Ella tried to use the Eye of Hermes, but it temporarily became unresponsive.

Girl thinks:

"Forget it, it's useless to think too much. It's time to leave here and meet Ling and the others. Go back to Kraft and report what you saw to Professor Kleist. We still need to find a way to repair the gap between Hermes. Eye, after the shadow gives up competing for my body, the side effects of this item should be weakened a lot, it would be the best if it can be used again.”

After all, she had been lagging behind for four full years. If she had the help of the Eye of Hermes, she would be able to catch up much faster.

The stone room shook for a while, and Ella backed away in shock. She smelled something disturbing.

On the chest of Sibyl's remains, the jewels suspended in the hollow are still spinning, absorbing the light. Although Sibyla has failed, the rituals left by her are still working.

The Philosopher's Stone known as the "Golden Cup" is still absorbing magic power continuously, but the key to the ceremony, Sibilla's body has reached a saturated state of absorbing magic power.The excess magic power of the Philosopher's Stone had nowhere to go and began to dissipate.
