"Ling, how are you doing now?"

Ella thought she looked a little weak,

"It's all right."

Ling moved a stool and sat beside her.

Hyde asked,

"Exactly, Mephisto, what exactly did you want to say before you fell into coma? Did you find any clues in the factory ruins last night?"

Ling was silent for a moment, then took out an amber medicine bottle and handed it to Ella,

"Ella, can you analyze its composition?"

Ella took the small glass bottle, observed the remaining liquid medicine, and tried to smell it,

"It's like the blood of a six-winged bat, a little bit of Mafis powder, and mixed with a lot of other ingredients. It takes some time to identify it. It makes me feel bad. What is this?"

"Your answer is pretty much the same as Fred's was years ago... what it does is turn people into ghouls."

Ling seemed to be suppressing some emotion, and his voice became a little hoarse.

"--What did you say?"

It was an answer that surprised everyone.

"Fred and I once killed a wizard in Liverpool a few years ago who used this to turn people into ghouls."

"You mean that the enemies this time have configured the same thing. They may know each other, or they may come from the same cult?"

Hyde thought this was unlikely. Liverpool and Tangerang were too far apart. Except for the Kraft School, which had built multiple "gates" around the world, it might take more than a year for an average wizard to travel back and forth between the two places.

"Do not……"

Ling denied Hyde's words, and after a pause, she took a deep breath,

"I had my assailant last night, I could have sworn it was the same guy...but I killed him, I smashed his skull, Fred burned him to ashes after that - I I can't understand why a person who has been dead for eight years is here?"

The scene fell into a brief dead silence,

Hyde smiled dryly. He thought this was very ridiculous and almost an instinctive rebuttal. However, he did not notice that his voice seemed to be trembling.

"You mean we are facing an evil spirit that has been wandering for eight years, or simply an undead monster that even Fred Mephisto failed to destroy?"

"I think that's what I mean, Mr. Hyde Belouser."

The bird-like gaze made Hyde instinctively want to turn his head, but he gritted his teeth and endured the pressure, still making a mockery.

"Really? Then I think you need to find yourself a competent psychiatrist."

When the two were in a stalemate,

There was a heavy knock on the door.

Chapter 27 The Beginning of Chaos

In February 1853, the not-so-long winter in Scotland was over. The snow melted and everything revived.

On both sides of the White Stone Avenue in front of Glamis Castle, the white roses bloom more vigorously under the spring breeze. This is a season full of hope and sunshine.

However, the recent atmosphere in the Kraft School of Witchcraft and Wizardry seems a bit depressing. Counting from the entrance ceremony in November, the principal Mr. Albert Kleist has not shown up for four months.

Even if someone claimed that Mr. Principal was deciphering the ancient books found in the ruins of the prophet, the time seemed too long, and this did not seem to be enough reason for him not to leave the exclusive area for four full months.

In fact, with aging, most wizards will face the danger of losing control of their magic power due to their weakened physique, which is the end of wizards.Until then, most people will choose to stay in a quiet environment and try to prolong their lives.

In the eyes of others, this is very similar to Mr. Principal's current situation.

And Albert Kleist himself has been active for more than 100 years.

"It is recognized that Kleist, the strongest wizard, may be approaching the end of his life, and Glamis is shrouded in dark clouds."

Such similar rumors are abuzz in the magic world.

If the rumors are true, the Kraft School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the center of the European wizarding world, will need a new headmaster.

If nothing else, the new headmaster will be executive Howard Yusef or a full-blooded school trustee.

Under such circumstances, the news that the two pure-blood families suddenly chose to form an alliance after Christmas was once again dug out by interested people.

……

Yousef pushed open the door of the principal's office, and he returned to Glamis after completing all the tasks last night.

Kleist took off his single crystal glasses, pushed them away from the ancient manuscripts on the table, raised his head,

"It's Howard? This is really surprising. When did you come back?"

"Last night."

"Here's some mead, which Adolf sent at Christmas. He took good care of the elf bees in those manors."

He motioned Yusuf to sit down, took out a bottle of golden liquid from the cabinet, and poured out two small cups with a smile on his face.

"Kleist, what are you doing recently? There have been some bad rumors outside."

Kleist took a sip of the mead and took out some pastries. He had been so absorbed in his deciphering work that he forgot to eat lunch.

"I have heard that what they think makes sense. Wizards do encounter various problems in their old age."

"Are you really...?"

Yusuf's expression changed a little,

"It's a bit difficult to say, but I think it should be no problem for me to live for another ten years. Maybe they don't need to find someone to take over my job for the time being."

Kleist inserted a scone.

"Mephisto and Belusa seem to have made some moves recently."

"You mean Fred Mephisto and Straw Belusay? It's hard to imagine, I remember they had a bad relationship at school - I've heard the news, their alliance isn't What a bad thing."

It seems that Kleist's news is not behind, and there is no problem with his body, but this makes Yousef even more puzzled.That being the case, why did he lock himself up here for four full months?

After thinking for a while, Yusef seemed to have thought of something.

"What did you see in the prophet's ruins?"

"The "Book of the Future" has indeed been destroyed. The great prophet Sibylla left me not much information. You know, the more powerful the magician is, the more difficult it is to peek into the future. When we want to do so, There will be all kinds of accidents, and fate is indeed the most elusive force... But despite this, it helped me verify a conjecture - besides that, I did find some interesting things from these ancient books, And did a lot of experiments, which is why I locked myself away for a few months.”

Kleist pointed to the manuscripts on the table, Yusuf took a look, he didn't know those words, it would take a lot of time to decipher these things, and there are more scrolls or manuscripts on the principal's bookshelf .

"Let's not talk about that, how about your mission this time? I remember entrusting you to bring back materials with powerful magic power."

"...Too bad, that [cub] has grown to more than fifty feet, and even gave birth to a little divinity. In order to kill it, we sacrificed five people, and two executors were left permanently disabled."

As he spoke, he placed a black jewel-like object wrapped in satin on the table.

"It's the heart of it, and it should meet your requirements."

Kleist's expression became complicated. He sighed and put away the piece of material solemnly.

……

Tangerang town, Dutch fortress.

The heavy and hasty knock on the door interrupted the dispute between Hyde and Ling. Under the current circumstances, the knock on the door was abrupt and unreasonable.Jack had already posted a notice to suspend business, and under the current situation, no one would come here to drink.

"Open the door, I am a police officer in the town, someone reported that there are fugitives hiding here!"

Several people looked at each other, which sounded a little funny, Jack spoke first,

"Mr. Sheriff, maybe you are mistaken?"

As he said that, he planned to open the gate of the Dutch fortress, but Ella's spiritual intuition gave a dangerous warning.

She first pasted an old mutant seal on Jack, and then signaled the latter to be careful,

Jack nodded, and opened the door slightly, but two gunshots came oncoming. The bullets stagnated in the dark blue ripples, and the parchment began to burn violently. If it hadn't been prepared in advance, the two shots would have Will lift Jack's skull!

Aila looked through the window and found that at least ten militiamen and police officers had surrounded the small building. According to the reaction of the police officers in front of the door, they did not intend to search for any fugitives at all.

Hyde twirled his ring once and told Jack to step back.

After a while, two local police officers walked in the door with dull movements. Their eyes were dull and their movements were mechanical. It was obvious that Hyde had used the "Ring of the Arrogant" to control their minds.

Hyde controlled them to block the door, while Ella and Ling used the Embrace of Night to hide their figures. Although it was daytime, the effect of this type of magic was weakened. If you look closely, you will find the almost transparent body outline. But it still works for ordinary people. Since Jack couldn't use it, Ella used the spell again for him.

Hyde then manipulated the three militiamen who entered, and the number had approached Hyde's limit. He ordered the four of them to stay here, cleverly delaying time, and let another militiaman lead a group of people to leave quietly.

A growing number of militiamen searched the street after people were found missing from the Dutch fort.

After successfully escaping to the sparsely populated Mansour Road, Hyde controlled the militiaman to tell the reason why they were being hunted. At ten o'clock this morning, the police chief drew up a wanted order for them, on the grounds that these infidels from abroad were The hidden evil in the town.

As evening approached, the townspeople of Tangerang Town formed a parade team, holding iron tools such as torches and harpoons, and began to search for the demons in the town, screaming and laughing echoes over the entire island.

Chapter 28 Sanity and Madness

The burnt smell became more and more concentrated in the town, and they seemed to have taken root on this island, and the sea breeze seemed a little weak here.

The night was reddened by the flames, and the color was cruel, like blood oozing from burnt flesh.

More wooden stakes were set up in the streets and squares, and the tied corpses were no longer recognized, but they were still residents of this town a day ago.

The ridiculous thing is that there will be no so-called demons or ghouls among them, because it is impossible for them to be burned to death on the stake by ordinary people, they are just ordinary people who are powerless to resist.

Civilians on patrol, Paramount clergy, militiamen and police officers surrounded the charred bodies, screaming abuse or laughing out loud.

"Crazy...all crazy."

Hyde's face turned blue and he muttered to himself.The factory ruins on Mansour Road are considered to be a relatively safe place at present, but this kind of stability cannot be maintained for long.

Ling's condition doesn't look very good, her body has not fully recovered, she has reached the edge of losing control before, unable to maintain the invisibility magic for a long time.

It is also unrealistic for Ella to use "Embrace of the Night" for three people at the same time. With her magic power seriously insufficient, if she encounters the wizard hiding in the town, Hyde will be the only reliable combat power left.
