The Prophet Sibylla had maintained the ritual for hundreds of years like a sophisticated machine, but now, one of the gears broke.

Chapter 28 The out-of-control Philosopher's Stone

The brilliance of the inverted triangle became more and more dazzling, like a holy grail made of pure gold, the huge and complex vitality of the entire Sibyl Mountains was continuously absorbed into the mouth of the cup, and transformed into the purest magic power!

The out-of-control ritual left only the initial instinct, absorption, and then transformation, but unlike before, there were no restrictions.

The entire stone room began to shake, the huge magic power in the air has already made the spiritual space unstable, and Sibylah's treasure room is about to descend into the material world again!

At this time, all the barriers and restrictions left by the prophet Sibilla in the cave were all invalidated by the magic power of chaos.The environment of Sibilla Cave returned to normal, and the distorted space under the light source returned to its original position.

The lake around the stone chamber began to boil, and the fragile barrier between this place and the physical space was about to disappear.

Ella tried to find a connection with the material world through the lake water, which was not difficult, as the two spaces were close to overlapping.

"Ling, can you hear me?"

-

Inside Sibylla cave, underground lake

Professor Yousef has found a new breakthrough. He doesn't have the key to connect with Sibilla, but he can use items related to Ella to try to get in touch with her.Ling took out a key out of nowhere, which was said to be the key to the door of Ella's house in Glamis.

The connection between this kind of item and people is more vague, and the target may even be wrongly pointed to the landlord Mr. Hans Turner. Generally speaking, the owner's hair or old clothes can be used as the best medium, but for a while It's hard to find something like this in this environment.

"Ling, can you hear me?"

Ella's voice came from the lake, making everyone look happy.

"You made it, so fast?"

Adolf was amazed at Yusuf's efficiency.

Yusef had a strange look on his face,

"It wasn't me, it was her who contacted here...Ella, are you okay? Where are you and what's the situation over there."

"Professor Yusef? Have you found Ling and the others?"

The voice on the other side of the river became much more relaxed, as if a huge stone had been let go of in my heart.

"I'm fine, the situation here...it's hard to explain for a while, you guys avoid the underground river, stay far away, the farther the better—"

The underground river began to boil, and the cave began to vibrate violently. The stalactites and stalagmites on the mountain wall fell off one after another and fell into the underground river.

A huge vortex appeared in the middle of the river. Yousef had seen this situation in London four years ago. This was a sign that something had left the spiritual space and intervened in the material world. A temple with a strange style rose slowly from the river. , the river flows down the dome and reliefs of the temple.

In the cave where the space has returned to normal, the gold diggers and the remaining gunmen under Gore quickly found them. After experiencing strange events, they have stopped firing and,

"Look! What's that?"

This is a police officer who followed up the team in the morning. All five police officers are still alive, and more than one of them has decided to resign and never return to Blackline Town.They haven't married yet, and they haven't accumulated much property in the town. If they continue to have such dangerous jobs in the future, they really need to consider changing to a higher-paying job. Gold digging or joining gangs are good choices.

Following the direction his finger pointed, the gold diggers and gunmen looked in the direction of the temple.

Ella was climbing wetly from the river to the rocks in the river. Behind her, somewhere in the temple was emitting a dazzling golden light.

Under the light, the rocks protruding from the river, the mountain walls, the gates and stone pillars of the temple all exude a soft golden luster.

"Complete,

It's all gold! "

They couldn't believe their eyes. What a wealth this was. If the entire temple was made of gold, its value would even be more than the gold mine that sold for 3000 million pounds!Even if it is just gold-plated, it will not be a small amount.

The police officer couldn't wait to get into the water and stumbled. He threw away the police hat that blocked his sight, waded across the river, and wanted to enter the gate of the temple.

Ayla grabbed the corner of his lichen,

"It's too dangerous inside, don't go in!"

The policeman shook off her hand impatiently, climbed up the steps in twos and threes, and entered the temple.

Ella planned to throw the Seal of Meletus to put him into sleep, but the lines drawn on the parchment had already been soaked in water and lost their effectiveness.After reading the Book of the Future, her magic power was severely depleted. For a moment, it seemed as if she was back to the same powerlessness before she regained her magic power.

After someone took the lead, more and more people jumped into the water, wanting to enter the golden shrine to chase the wealth within reach.

The flame of desire flashed in Edward's eyes for a short moment, but he finally endured it, and reason made him believe in the young girl in front of him.He tried to stop those companions, but there were only a few who were willing to listen to him.

The two professors were capable of knocking them out and stopping them, but they had no intention of doing so.For them, whether those gunmen or those who joined the Gold Diggers team later, they are all the same scum and scum. Those people who joined Edward's team did not want to save the townspeople of Sutter Town from the very beginning , they come here just for the gold.

The light in the temple became more and more dazzling, and there were sparse sounds from all over the cave. Numerous human-faced thorns growing human heads, or some unusually large insects began to appear, and they also began to be overwhelmed by the light. Attracted by them, they all crawled towards the gate of the temple, but before approaching there, their bodies quickly became shriveled and lost their vitality.Their relatively weak vitality was completely absorbed in a short moment.

"Let's get out of here."

Yousef's face changed, the temple was absorbing faster and faster, and even the underground river water began to pour into the gate, and then disappeared.

After he discovered that he could use teleportation magic again, he swiped his finger in the air and opened a faint blue light door.

Ling supported Ella, and Edward and several gold diggers who were willing to leave entered the light gate and disappeared one after another, then Professor Adolf, and Yousef himself took a last look at the increasingly violent shaking cave, and also jumped into the light gate .

Their figures were slowly outlined outside the cave. A landslide occurred in the cave, the entrance of the cave was blocked, and the people inside had no chance to come out again.

Chapter 29 The dust settles

"It's amazing. We were still deep in the cave just now, and now we are outside. Is this the master's magic?"

Edward looked at Yusef and felt a little unbelievable. He felt that his adventurous life had become richer. He had seen too many miracles in the recent events.

Ella affirmed his question. She took the puppet townspeople out of their satchels. After being soaked in water, the puppet became a little wet.

Ella lifted the magic cast by Shadow and Feather on them, and the exhausted townspeople soon fell asleep after recovering. They would wake up tomorrow and feel that they had a nightmare.

The damp from the dolls was brought to them, too, and many of them might have caught a cold, but that was a trivial matter.

With the help of Edward and the gold diggers, the townspeople were taken into carriages. The town of Sutter was gone. They would start a new life in other towns, or choose to rebuild their homes.

Everything last night is like tumbleweeds in the desert, disappearing, but they may take root and grow in a new oasis at any time. This is the west, and this is the people living in the west.

Edward's horse team returned to the town of Black Lane, compared with the number of his horse team when he set out, the number of his horse team has shrunk greatly.The crippled Goyle was captured alive, and when he left the portal, Edward held him in his hand. This was not to save a damned villain, but he was required to take responsibility for the casualties.

Gore became a madman because of excessive fear, and his only good leg was broken. When he attacked Ella, Edward shot through his knee. This unlucky guy will never die. I can't stand up anymore.

Edward's horse team collected a few pounds of broken gold while exploring the cave. Most of them were taken away by the inspector as a pension, and the rest was distributed by Edward to the gold diggers in stock. Enough to last a long time.

Goyle will be hanged at noon tomorrow, and fortunately he has become a madman and will not feel any additional fear from it.

Casualties among the gold diggers were explained as the result of a firefight with Gower's gunmen, the vicious gang leader who finally ignited the explosives in the cave, and the Sibilla cave collapsed and buried the victims.

The hero brought back the gold, the heroic sacrifice of the five police officers brought the lives of the hostages, and the criminals were brought to justice and awaited a just trial. This was a satisfactory ending for everyone.

The mayor of Black Lane decided to erect statues of the brave victims in the center of the town, which are the pride of the town.

Mr. Andre was the first to wake up, and Ms. Alice was sitting on the head of his bed. The two separate newlyweds embraced and kissed each other lightly.This will be a wedding trip that they will never forget.

They expressed their sincere gratitude to the witch friends they met during the trip, and Ella gave them amulets made by themselves, and offered blessings for the couple's future.

Alice and his wife settled down in a hotel in Blackline Township. This large town with good law and order is obviously more suitable for them. After fully enjoying the western style, they will also return to England to start a stable life.

After the gold digger team rested for a few days, Edward found Ira and said goodbye to her.

"Goodbye, Miss Williams, we are going to find new gold mines."

Ella felt a little surprised, she asked half-jokingly,

"After seeing all that, are you still going to look for gold?"

"Of course, ah, I mean in a more normal place."

Edward touched his nose,

"Weeds with human faces and caves that turn around, one encounter is enough."

"Then good luck to you."

"And you too, miss."

Edward took off his hat and saluted. He stepped on the stirrups, got on his horse, waved his hand, and took the lasso and shotgun toward the rising sun.

There are only a few people left in his team, but they are still humming a light song, with sunshine and hope on their faces.

Ella and the others will stay in this town for a while. Professor Yousef has already contacted the old principal Kleist through a messenger. The discovery of the ruins of Sibylla is of great significance to the magical world.

The principal has contacted the executors in the United States and some local wizards. Mount Sibylla is closely protected by them, and the excavation work will begin after Kleist arrives.The excavation of the prophet's relics is a rare scene. As the participants of the event and the discoverers of the relics, Ella and the others were allowed to participate in this event.

In addition, Mr. Principal emphasized that the two professors Adolf and Yusef will continue the courses of Ira and Ling during the waiting period.After recovering her magic power, many of the things Ella learned in theory before can be practiced again.

This passage is placed at the end of the letter, very Kleist style.

Ella told the two professors almost unreservedly about what happened, including the shadow, and the picture she saw in the "Book of the Future", except for the part related to the evil god and the name "Yafum".

Wizards who are confirmed to have the blood of evil gods generally do not have a happy ending. Even if they are still just suspicions, it is not something that can be mentioned to others.

"Professor, by the way, this mirror doesn't seem to be working anymore."

Yousef took the Eye of Hermes over it, and the shadow stepped on it resentfully, and some cracks appeared on the mirror.

"I'll let Roger or Kleist take a look at it later. It's good for now. At least you don't have to worry about its side effects anymore."

Yusef repaired those cracks with magic, but it is still unusable like an ordinary mirror, and the professor has no clue about it for the time being.Afterwards, he gave Ella a detailed examination, but fortunately, Ella was only a little weak, and did not leave any sequelae due to the shadow's control.She prepared some calming potions for herself, and the effect was not bad.

As for the prophecy about the future, Yousef said that the professor of the prophecy department at the school has begun to interpret it, so that Ella can rest assured that this is not a problem she can solve.

Yusuf explained,

"The so-called prophecy is only a possibility that may exist in the future. No one can completely peep into the development of destiny. There are many explanations for the prophecy. If Sibylla can really have a thorough insight into the future, then she will also Seeing the failure of my ritual, in this case, why is there any need to try?"

"Just a possibility that might exist?"

Ella seems to understand a little bit, but it is still difficult to accept such a statement,
