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

Based on what she knew about Ling, after the other party learned about this, out of worry, they would definitely take her back to Glamis forcibly.

Although she couldn't completely believe Shadow's words, Ella cared deeply about the last words she said.

Although Shadow is unwilling to disclose more about this, if there is any unexpected danger on this island, she will definitely become an indispensable help.

Ayla was at the end of the line, and because the Shadow actively used the Eye of Hermes once, Ayla had to smear its mirror with the blood of a magical creature.

Fortunately, she was well prepared and packed a few tubes in her backpack before leaving Kraft.The shops in Glamis Town are filled with the blood of magical creatures, including ordinary magical creatures and even sub-dragons, and even blood of some dangerous creatures of unknown origin.

Most of them are important materials in certain rituals and potions. Ella picked a few cheap ones at random. She didn't consider other properties of the blood, as long as they were rich in magic power, it was enough.

After Ayla poured a tube of blood on the mirror, they first emitted a coquettish red shimmer, and the carved copper snakes began to writhe uneasily. When the blood gradually disappeared into the gaps of the copper mirror, they settled down. The restless magic gradually returned to calm.

The figure of the shadow appeared on the mirror, she raised the hem of her skirt and saluted, with a teasing smile, gradually faded and finally disappeared.

This weird situation made Ella very uncomfortable.

After all, she still had an instinctive fear of shadows. The girl unconsciously stopped and fell behind, which attracted Hyde's attention.

"Hurry up, Williams, the town is ahead!"

Ling also turned around,

"Still feeling sick?"

"No, I'm fine, just a little tired."

Ella forced a smile on her face as a response.

Jack, who was leading the way, was already standing at the edge of the forest, and wooden fences and houses were faintly visible through the leaves.

At this time, a beast-like howl appeared in the depths of the town.

Ling was startled, turned his head suddenly, his face turned livid,

"It's a ghoul!"

After all, she rushed out at an extremely fast speed, and Hyde and Jack quickly followed, because the weak Ella was left behind because of the magic ritual.

She originally planned to use magic to increase her speed, but she thought about Jack's words. If the magic was seen by people in this town, it might cause a lot of trouble.

When Ira arrived at the scene of the incident, Hyde and Jack were standing outside the shed. On the ground lay the dead body of a scrawny horse. Its throat had been completely torn out, but there were no signs of gnawing on its body.

"They avoided the fight, they just fled when we showed up, which is not like the ghouls I know."

"Where is Ling? They... what's going on."

"Mephisto chased it out... There were more than one ghoul, we saw at least two of that creature."

Ling returned here dejectedly,

"How's it going?"

"Let them escape. After chasing them through two streets, the ghouls suddenly disappeared, as if... they disappeared out of thin air."

More and more townspeople appeared around them, surrounding them, discussing something with each other in a low voice in the local language, and some men with violent personalities made aggressive gestures and said something loudly.

"What are they talking about?"

Hyde frowned, this feeling made him feel very bad,

"It's bad, these people treat us as criminals, they think we killed this horse and the previous animals!"

Jack raises his pistol and pushes back the frontmost men.

At this time, the crowd suddenly separated on their own,

Two columns of believers with white turbans and black robes appeared in the middle of the crowd, along with the town's sheriff and militiamen.

The leader is a middle-aged woman, her face is hidden under the veil, her dress is similar to that of ordinary believers, but the materials are more elegant, she wears a golden-red shawl, and on her head is a crown shaped like a flame.

"Be careful, she is the chief priest of that temple, Selvi Shastro, the ruler of the Paramount Sect."

Jack reminded in a low voice.

The woman spoke first, with a calm voice,

After speaking two languages ​​that Ira couldn't understand, I asked in English, which was probably the local language and Dutch.

"Guests from other places, I am the chief priest here, Servi Shastro, tell me what happened just now."

Her tone was gentle, but her words were equivalent to orders.

Ella breathed a sigh of relief, Selvi's English is very fluent, and he seems very patient, which can at least communicate.

Ella took out her customs pass and explained with the prepared statement,

"Dear Officiant Selvie Shastro, I'm Ella Williams, and I'm on vacation on Tangerang Island with my friends from Scotland. The voice of the beast came here with my friends, and the townspeople misunderstood us."

Selvi took the pass, looked at it carefully, and turned around to say something.The townspeople slowly dispersed, seemingly believing their explanation.

Jack put down the revolver, but did not put it back in the pouch, remaining on the alert.

Selvi waved his hand and signaled the believers to drag the corpse away. They dragged the horse's corpse onto the cart and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, Madam Priest, please let us investigate the corpse. I was an inspector in London before this, and I may be able to help you."

Running out of time, Ella didn't have time to examine the body and wonder if Hyde and Jack had removed the parts.

"There is no need for strangers. This is our own business. The contaminated corpses must be purified with fire immediately. Let me remind you one more thing. Leave this island as soon as possible. Devils can take the form of us and they will hide. In this town.”

The believers moved swiftly, and soon pulled the cart to prepare to leave, and the body of the scrawny horse was covered with some hay.

In the square of the town, the believers set up a big fire, and the pungent smell of smoke and burning grease filled the air.

It was late, lit by fire in a dim environment, the air distorted by the heat, and completely dispelled by the coolness brought by the approaching night.

Ella looked at the flames and organized her thoughts. The Selvi priest actually knew something about the abilities of ghouls. Maybe there was a possibility of cooperation between them and the Paramon sect.But the ghouls that Hyde and the others talked about also made Ella very concerned. That kind of behavior is not like ordinary ghouls. This island may be far more complicated than she thought.

A deal with Shadow may be inevitable.

Chapter 21 Night Operations

Back at the "Dutch Fortress",

Jack had someone prepare a London-style dinner, although it was just a simple fruit pie and fish and chips, but it moved Ella who had been tortured by the local spicy taste for two days.

It has been five years, but Jack still remembers her taste, black tea with a lot of milk and sugar added, which is Jack's private collection brought from England.The sweet taste that seemed to melt the tip of the tongue dispelled a lot of the gloom in Ella's heart.

Ling didn't seem to have much appetite. She originally had a chance to catch up with the target, but exposing the magic in front of the residents would put the entire team of executors on the opposite side of the town and put them in danger. irritable.

Ling couldn't help thinking, what would Fred do if he was here, that man would probably show his strength without hesitation, and follow this clue to wipe out the ghouls and the magician hiding behind them.The Paramount Sect or other forces would not be taken seriously by Fred Mephisto at all. At most, he would stun the witnesses afterwards and then modify their memories one by one.

After all, it was because I was not strong enough, exactly the same as eight years ago.

Ella seemed to be saying something to her, but Ling didn't notice at all.

She lowered her head and cut the fish into pieces with a knife, just repeating this action unconsciously, and the pieces of meat became smaller and smaller.

"Hey, Mephisto!"

"Ling?"

Ella touched her with her elbow, Ling trembled all over, raised her head and smiled,

"Sorry, I'm a little distracted, what did you just say?"

Ella showed a little helplessness, and repeated what she said just now,

"We were asking you just now, where did the ghouls you tracked disappear?"

Ling thought for a while and described the approximate location.

"I chased it two streets and lost the target at the corner of the third street east of the stable..."

Jack touched his shiny head,

"The third street east of the stables, let me see... that's Mansour Road."

"Mansour Road..."

Ella put down her knife and fork,

"Besides houses, are there any other buildings on that road?"

"There's nothing. If you have to say it, it's a slum in the town. There are many unemployed workers crowded there. In addition..."

Jack actually looked a little embarrassed, and his old face flushed with embarrassment.

"What else?"

Ella saw him paused, and hurriedly asked, the clues on this street were of great significance and very helpful to their mission.

Jack coughed twice, looked at the three young boys and girls sitting in front of him, lowered his voice,

"...there is the night scene in Tangerang Town."

Hyde spouted out the black tea, but fortunately, the others had already finished their dinner. He calmly took out a square towel and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then returned to his elegant sitting position, as if nothing had happened.

"what is that?"

Ling Fu Er whispered a few words to Ella, which made the latter's face flush slightly.

Jack changed the subject,

"There is hot water in the bathroom on the second floor. We went to the rainforest today and we may have some plant seeds or insect eggs on it. Take a bath and rest early. Aren't you going to the river tomorrow morning?"

"Not yet. I think we need to go to Mansour Road to have a look. Ghouls will not disappear suddenly. They probably got help from someone on Mansour Road. We are very likely to find useful clues. . Maybe we can use some magic to hide our figures in the dark so that ordinary people can't find us. If we are exposed, it will most likely be the magician hiding behind the ghoul."

Ling suddenly raised his spirits,

"You mean, we can let go, and there's a good chance we'll find those monsters tonight?"

"can."

Ella replied,

"I observed the chief priest, Selvi Shastro, with my spiritual vision. She should not be a magician. We just need to be cautious."

Ling was silent for a few seconds,

"Jack? Do you have anything to eat here? I feel a little hungry."

Jack froze for a moment, and asked the bartender to serve some more food,
