The most powerful wizard in the magic world

Gellin held the ancient book tightly and walked slowly along the dark and damp path. The surrounding trees were towering into the sky, with dense branches and leaves, blocking most of the sunlight, and exuding a musty and rotten smell. His pace gradually slowed down, and his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if every sound of the wind in his ears was whispering, as if warning him of something.

At this moment, there was a slight rustling sound behind him. Gerlin turned around immediately, but there was nothing in front of him. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that entering the forbidden area never had a good result, but he was burning with a strong curiosity in his heart - what secrets were hidden in the ancient books?

"Gerlin, wait!" A voice from afar penetrated the silence of the woods. Gerlin turned around and saw his good friend Emily rushing over, her face filled with worry and anxiety.

"Why are you here?" Gerlin asked in a low voice, his eyes unconsciously sweeping around, as if he didn't want to arouse the hidden anxiety.

"I have a bad feeling." Emily stopped, her face slightly pale, her voice low and serious, "The atmosphere in the forbidden area is too abnormal. I'm worried that you will..."

"I'll be fine," Garlin interrupted, his voice firm, though there was a hint of hesitation in his heart. "I want to understand the origin and meaning of this book."

Emily shook her head and approached Gerling. "But this is not a place you and I can joke about. I heard that some people never came out after entering."

"I know, but the content of this book..." Garlin's voice trembled slightly. He also sensed Emily's fear. But the desire in his heart was like an unstoppable flame. "It may change our understanding of history. I have to see it."

"Seeing the truth may come at a price." Emily's eyes were gentle and full of concern. "Sometimes remaining ignorant is also a form of protection."

Gerling paused, his heart wavering, as if touched by her words. He remembered the scenes of exploring with Emily when he was a child, and that fearlessness and impulse seemed to revive in his heart.

"I promise, if there is anything wrong, I will take you back with me." Gerlin finally said, his voice became soft, but his eyes still flashed with determination. As he spoke, he opened the ancient book, the paper inside was yellowed and the handwriting was blurred.

"Well, at least we're together." Emily sighed helplessly, and as she approached Gerlin, she gently ran her fingertips across the pages of the book, as if trying to extract more information from it.

Time seemed to be particularly long in this forbidden area, and Garlin and Emily searched for ancient words and patterns on the pages of the book, trying to interpret their meanings. As they went deeper, mysterious symbols and thought-provoking pictures began to emerge before their eyes.

"What are these...?" Emily's voice trembled slightly, and her fingertips stopped on a strange illustration. It showed a creature holding a staff, surrounded by all kinds of incredible creatures.

"It seems like a ritual." Gerling frowned and muttered to himself, "It is related to some kind of cult..."

During their conversation, the air around them seemed to gradually become solemn. As Emily asked gently, the forest seemed to participate in their discussion. The trees swayed gently in the breeze, as if whispering.

"We'd better be careful." Emily's voice became low, "These things may awaken some kind of power."

As she said, Gerlin suddenly felt a chill, and a sense of foreboding flashed through his mind. "Emily, listen."

The sound reappeared, this time clearer, like a low roar, filling the air. They looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

"Gerlin, I think we should leave." Emily's voice was hesitant.

"I haven't found the secret of this book yet." Garlin raised his head, his voice much firmer than before, "I can't give up just like that."

“The secrets of the ancient books may not be something we can bear.” Emily clenched her teeth, her tone becoming more anxious.

At this moment, the shadows of the surrounding trees began to change, as if something was constantly moving. Gerlin was suddenly startled, his heart filled with anger and fear: "I don't want to escape anymore! I want to find out the truth, even if it costs me!"

"But...but what if it takes our lives?" Emily's voice trembled slightly, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

"How can we know without trying?" He turned around, and the firm look in his eyes left Emily speechless for a moment. At this moment, countless ancient legends and hidden truths emerged in Gerling's mind, as if only by facing the unknown could he find the key to unlocking these ancient pains.

"Are you really ready to face everything?" Emily's words were no longer just dissuasion; her voice was filled with despair and concern.

"Yes, I'm ready." Gerling looked up and glanced around. His eyes were like flames, and he was determined in his goal.

Just as they were discussing, a low chanting sound suddenly came from the depths of the woods, as if ghosts were whispering. The voice was sometimes clear, sometimes vague, which made people feel chilling.

"We don't have much time!" Emily roared, with sparks of fear in her eyes.

"We can't retreat!" Gerling's voice was unique and unbridled amid the noise. He turned the pages of the ancient book vigorously until a thrilling picture came into view. The symbols and illustrations on it immediately made his heart surge. "Look! This is it!"

"Hmm... this symbol... is it a summons? Or a forbidden spell?" Emily couldn't help but take a step back, with obvious uneasiness on her face.

"I'm not sure, but it must be closely related to the current situation." Gerling's heart was beating like thunder, and the fantasy in his mind became clearer and clearer. He began to interpret the contents of the book word by word.

"Gerlin, stop!" Emily shouted behind her, her worried voice gradually drowned out by the chanting outside.

"I can't stop." Gerling's eyes flashed with a strong obsession, and the heat in his body seemed to seek a release. "These powers can only be guided by me. Perhaps they can awaken the forgotten past and save us."

"We don't have such an easy choice!" Emily screamed at the top of her lungs, realizing that things were heading for the worst.
