"Our ceremony hall has received a large number of reports, and now we have dispatched a team of executors. According to my judgment, this incident will not cause a greater disaster."

Yousef suddenly stopped, as if he thought of something, his face quickly turned cold.

"You already know what you've 'seen' in Sibylla's legacy... Kleist, you've changed."

"No, Howard, my position has never changed. Everything is for this world built on ice floes."

Kleist's expression remained unchanged, and his tone did not waver at all.

The air was as heavy as a dead deep sea. Yousef looked into the eyes of the old man, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, he suddenly turned and left.

"I'm going to save my students - after this is over, you need to give me a reasonable explanation!"

With a wave of his cane, the door of the principal's office was pushed by an invisible force behind him, and it slammed back heavily.

Kleist looked silently at the letter that was left on the table. The messenger wearing a top hat appeared in the corner of the wooden table. He held down the funny top hat with one hand while making a somewhat embarrassed look. .

Kleist asked in a calm tone,

"Gentleman, you don't seem to be able to intercept that letter... No, you don't want to intercept it, but why, gentleman?"

The shriveled messenger who looked like a deformed baby let out a sharp scream, it jumped twice in place, and pointed to its crooked mouth.

Kleist's calm and stable expression almost collapsed, he sighed and smiled wryly,

"For a... chocolate?"

Chapter 52 Long time no see, first time meeting

The figures of the Bayakis appeared over the island of Sumbawa, and then landed at the foot of the mountain at a very fast speed.

Ayla felt strong resistance from their consciousness, and anyway, the Byakhees were unwilling to fly directly to the top of the volcano.

The monsters were pale, and their pupilless eyeballs were slowly turning. Although this was theoretically impossible, Ella still read the emotion called fear hidden in it.

In that thick cloud condensed with lightning, something made them instinctively afraid.

With the help of the alchemy pendant's "Mysterious Door" ability, Ella controls another dangerous creature called the Flying Hydra. Its semi-invisible huge body is suspended above the ground, dragging it forward without touching it. There are traces of five toes on the ground that look like plum blossom petals.

The scene on the island is different from what you imagined. At the foot of the towering mountain, there is a dilapidated town full of hot and humid atmosphere, as if soaked by sea water.

Lots of barnacles and seagrass grow on the walls and roofs.At the same time, half-solidified black-red lava flowed through the streets, and flames flickered dimly in the dank town.

The mountain peak behind the town also shows two completely different states. On the mountain peak shaped like a lazy waist, one side is covered with dense vegetation, but the other side is only iron-black rock and solidified lava.

"This is... Tambora town? It should have been submerged by a tsunami more than 30 years ago, right?"

Time seems to have stayed forever on a certain day in 1816 in the Western calendar, the day when the tsunami and lava engulfed the town.

The voice of the shadow appeared in Ella's consciousness,

"The time on this island has been confused under the influence of some force. The town of Tambora should have been buried many years ago. The real ruins and the shadows in history overlapped. At the same time, the mountain There are two states of the present and the past at the same time, which is a false phantom left by history, but if time passes too long, all these will reappear and become real."

Ella drank the last tube of magic potion,

"You still can't descend into reality, my magic power should be barely enough to shape a body for you."

Ella pins her hopes on the powerful combat power of the shadow, if she can act independently, it can greatly improve the combat power of the team.

"No."

Shadow directly gave a negative answer,

"I consumed too much magic power in the dream world, and the condition of the Eye of Hermes is not stable enough. In addition-"

The seawater condensed around Ella, about to gather into the shape of an arm, but soon scattered on the ground, turning back into a puddle of water stains.

"...Besides, the environment here is very special, and my strength seems to be restrained."

"careful!"

Ling's voice interrupted the communication between Ella and the shadow consciousness,

A large number of light spots spewed out from the doors and windows of the houses in the dilapidated town or from the shadows of the buildings. At the same time, there was also a burning corpse similar to that of the cleric Safra Ali, manipulated by the spirit of fire. .

"There is no time to entangle here now, let's rush out before they gather!"

The flying polyp made a silent whistle, and the strong wind pressure spread to the left and right, violently scattering the light spots that had not yet gathered!

Before that, the Byakhees had already started running, and under the action of the wind, they rushed through the streets in the center of the town at extreme speed. After their bodies continued to accelerate, they glide, almost clinging to the ground.

More light spots emerged from the streets, the buildings began to burn, the humid sea water vaporized into hot steam, and figures made of ashes flew from the roofs, trying to make these people who broke into the wrong time stay here forever and become Their funeral objects!

"Stop them!"

A huge Byakhee turned around without hesitation under Ella's command, and there was even a certain kind of joy in its consciousness. Compared with going to the top of the mountain, it seemed more willing to stay here.The monster roared like howling, it spread its huge fleshy wings, rolled up a strong wind and carried a large number of light spots towards the sky!

The flames burned its body, exuding a disgusting stench, it crashed into the sea, shook off the sea water and went straight into the sky again!

After being blocked by it for a while, Ella and Ling finally broke through the phantom of Tambora Town and went up along the broken mountain wall.

----

On the top of Volcano Tambora, there is a huge fracture in the mountain peak, where there is a sea of ​​flames churning with fiery lava like broken gold, and a huge amount of harmful white gas is constantly rising.Black clouds condensed in the sky, brewing thunder and lightning, and from time to time, distorted purple arcs flashed and disappeared in the thick clouds.This is a place where life should not exist.

But a tiny, out of place figure stands by the crater.

It was a man in a silk bowler hat trimmed with blue feathers and an embroidered black tuxedo.His face is covered by a white mask drawn with funny faces, like some clown or bored aristocrat getting ready for a costume party.

He tapped the ground with a cranked wooden cane at a constant pattern. From time to time in the lava lake in the crater, there was a huge roar caused by the collision of the lava and the mountain, but it seemed to be mixed with something that shouldn't exist. , an illusory roar.

"Okay, okay, can't you wait anymore?"

The man's expression was hidden behind a mask, but his voice sounded very happy.

"You will be born, but now is not the time."

Invisible and thick chains were wrapped around the fracture of the mountain, slowly wriggling along with the sound of the man's cane being tapped.

As the illusory roar sounded, the chains were gradually shattering, but soon new invisible chains would appear on the lava.

The roar became more and more angry, and the sweat dripped from the man's temples. He took out a white handkerchief to wipe off the sweat, looking very relaxed, and even hummed a brisk Scottish ditty.

At this time, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction behind him expectantly.

Even though he was wearing a mask, he still showed this clear emotion inexplicably.

"coming."

The monster's rotten and huge body appeared on the mountain peak, and in the next second, pale flames and invisible storms swept over!

His body was thrown back like a dead leaf, but he drew out the rapier in the cranked cane in mid-air.

Ding!

There was a clear sound of metal collision, and Ling's figure was hidden behind the flames. When the flames began to dissipate, she stabbed out the short blade in her hand silently. The man crossed the narrow stabbing sword and stopped it for the second time in front of his throat. A sneak attack without warning.

He seemed to be pushed by force, falling backward again, and landed firmly on the ground with a clown-like funny movement.

"Long time no see, Mephisto girls - and, first time meeting, another girl who plays with fire, welcome to my stage for the second time."

Chapter 53 Betrayer

"It's been a long time. I'm really happy about the growth of young people—"

The man didn't seem to want to fight back. He stood on the ground and took off his hat.

In the next second, the man was a little stunned to find that a stream of flames had already rushed straight in front of his eyes!

He quickly put his hat back on his head, sideways out of the way of the flames, half of the decorative blue feathers were scorched by the fire, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"Hear me out—"

He opened his mouth, but found that the sound didn't seem to be transmitted from the space around him.

The weird organs in the upper limbs of the flying polyp began to vibrate, the air around the man was being drained rapidly, and even the sound became difficult to transmit.

Sighing and shaking his head, he casually inserted the rapier back into his cane, and tapped the ground moderately once.

Benedict——

At this moment, all the abnormalities that haunted him returned to their original appearance, and along with the echo, an indescribable palpitation appeared in everyone's chest.

Because of the strong tinnitus and dizziness, Ella's brain became blank, and she couldn't make any connection with any spell images in the magic power in a short time!

The translucent figure of the flying polyp began to shake, changing back and forth between material and non-material, dark green blood leaked from the hole-shaped organs, the connection between the mysterious door and the monster was quickly broken, and it was broken down into The most primitive magic.

The Bayaki that Ella was riding on also fell to the ground. Ella fell down and rolled a few times, while the other monster fell under the cliff.

An extremely painful scream came, and the echo brought by the walking stick stopped abruptly. Ling no longer suppressed the side effect of the Cossack dagger, and used its previous owner's miserable howl, which was enough to affect the spirit, to kill them. Consciousness pulls back to reality.

Her complexion turned gray, but she was still standing on the ground.

In just a moment, Ella's lineup was dealt a devastating blow!

At the same time, the sound of the chain breaking after being tightened was heard one after another.

The thick, translucent chains of the crater broke several chains, and after that, the hot magma burst upwards, sending a rain of fire into the sky, and the clear roar echoed in everyone's consciousness!

Ella knew this sound, and it was essentially the same as the cry of a baby in Whitechapel five years ago. It was a harbinger of the arrival of creatures whose bodies existed on the boundary between the spiritual world and the material world!

The sound of the cane tapping came again,

Tuk, tuk, tuk...

At this constant frequency, thick translucent chains appeared again above the lava lake, filling the gaps that appeared.

The boiling lava became relatively calm again, and the angry roar gradually became illusory.

"what is that......"

Ella struggled to stand up, blood flowing down her forehead, covering half of her sight.

"So I suggest you listen to what I have to say from the beginning. It is very rude to interrupt the elderly."

The man wearing the mask was still very calm, and his tone was unhurried, as if the dangerous situation just now was completely insignificant.

He calls himself an older man, but it is impossible to tell his age from his posture and voice. The enthusiasm of a young man, the calmness of a middle-aged man, and the wisdom of an older man. These unrelated and even contradictory elements appear abruptly. manifested in the same person.

The man explained patiently,
