The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

"Is this space magic?"

"It's just a space to store things, although it's not some simple magic."

Hearing this, Jacob instantly lost interest. If it wasn't some simple magic, it meant that he couldn't learn it at all now. That was fine.

Jacob didn't intend to stay in bed any longer. He rolled off the bed and walked quickly to the table.

"Let me see, crucible, beaker, test tube, alcohol lamp, glass rod... Are you planning to do a chemical experiment..."

Jacob suddenly felt a little speechless. Wasn't it agreed to be pharmacology magic? Why did he buy these chemical experiment equipment? Could it be that magic was really a branch of the tree of science?

"No." Valive shook his head seriously, "This is a necessary equipment for pharmacological magic."

Chapter 376 Temple Mount

"Ah this..."

Hearing what Wallifer said, Jacob couldn't help but become cautious. Maybe it only looked like equipment used in chemical experiments on the surface, but in fact it was really necessary equipment for pharmacological magic.

As Wallifer set up the beaker, he picked some leaves of this herb, pulled out two roots of that herb, and then threw them all into the beaker.

Then add water to the beaker, light the alcohol lamp next to it, and heat the beaker with the alcohol lamp.

When the liquid in the beaker began to steam, Wallifer picked up a glass rod and began to stir it slowly in the beaker, looking just like a housewife cooking soup.

Jacob, who was watching this scene quietly, didn't want to complain anymore, because he had so much to complain about that he didn't know where to start.

But Wallifer still did not stop his method of making soup, and still used chemical laboratory equipment.

These instruments were not used for chemical experiments as they appeared to be, but were directly used to make soup! Jacob had given up hope. This was completely different from the pharmacological magic he had imagined. He felt that Valive was teasing him.

After a while, Wallifer stopped boiling and poured the remaining liquid in the beaker into a test tube.

"Your soup... no, your magic potion is ready?" Jacob almost blurted out what he wanted to say when he saw how Wallifer was making the soup. Fortunately, he reacted instantly and quickly changed his words.

"Yes, try it. This is a medicine specially made for you." Wallifer raised the test tube in his hand and handed it to Jacob who had been watching next to him.

"This..." Jacob took the test tube and looked at the light green liquid inside. He always felt that Wallifer was lying to him. This was obviously vegetable soup, even the color was similar.

But it was difficult to refuse, because the other party made it specially for him. However, he had seen all the steps, so there shouldn't be any problem... right?

Jacob gritted his teeth, raised his hand and head, and drank the medicine in the test tube in one breath.

It actually tasted a bit sweet. Jacob was about to comment while smacking his lips, but a cold current suddenly appeared in his stomach.

Then, this cold current flowed through his limbs and bones in a very fast time, and finally merged with his weak blue magic power.

Jacob could feel that after his magic power merged with the cold current, it immediately began to grow rapidly. In just a short while, it increased three or four times!

"This...this is!"

The moment he felt the increase of magic power, Jacob looked at Waliver with excitement and surprise, but Waliver just raised his hand and pressed it lightly.

"Feel the growth of magic power first, and I'll tell you the reason after it's over."

Hearing this, Jacob hurriedly suppressed his excitement and immersed himself in the growth of magic power in his body.

After a while, Jacob slowly opened his eyes, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

"It really is a magic potion!"

Hearing this, Wallifer just looked at him with a playful smile. Feeling Wallifer's gaze, Jacob smiled awkwardly.

He actually said it accidentally. How should he explain it now?

However, Valifer did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he divided out a few more herbs and began to explain the knowledge about these herbs.

Jacob, who was a little embarrassed at first, was gradually immersed in the knowledge during the explanation. He was naturally very interested in this kind of mysticism.

Time passed slowly, and during this time Jacob received a call from the tour group he was in, asking him where he was.

Jacob made up a reason to explain to the tour group that he wanted to quit midway. The tour group agreed to this request, but it was impossible to refund all the money paid.

After the discussion, he was able to focus more on the magic that Valiver was teaching him.

Time always flies quickly when learning with interest. When Jacob successfully drew a usable magic circle, five days had passed.

"I did it! Look, Wallifer, I did it!" Jacob's eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of excitement.

God knows how much energy and effort he spent on such a simple magic circle. If it weren't for maintaining his physical health, he wouldn't even plan to eat.

However, after studying and practicing day and night, he finally drew this magic circle. Although the magic power flowing in it was very weak, it was also a step towards success.

"Congratulations, Jacob." Wallifer, who was sitting next to him, closed the book in his hand and congratulated the excited Jacob.

"No, it's all because of your good teaching." Jacob put down the paper with the magic circle drawn on it and thanked Wallifer sincerely.

If it weren't for Waliver who kept correcting his mistakes, it would probably take him a much longer time to successfully outline this simple magic circle pattern.

"Then have a good sleep first, I'll wake you up at night."

After he finished speaking, Wallifer pointed his finger at Jacob's forehead. Because it was too sudden, Jacob was hit before he could react.

Then, a sudden feeling of sleepiness came over him. Jacob opened his mouth and was about to say something, but then his eyes rolled up and he fell asleep.

Seeing that Jacob had fallen into a deep sleep, Wallifer stood up from his chair, walked to the window, and looked at the square spire in the distance.

That was the direction of the Holy Sepulchre of Jesus, but he was not looking at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but at the ruins of the temple near the Holy Sepulchre, which is Mount Moriah.

Legend has it that when King David was still alive, he was designated to build a human dwelling place for God on the sacred stone of Mount Moriah. However, due to years of war and limited energy, this wish was not realized until the time of King Solomon.

King Solomon used a lot of manpower and material resources and spent seven years to build this residence. It is the famous temple, and Mount Moriah is also known as the Temple Mount.

Walif just quietly looked at the Temple Mount in the distance, and time slipped away quietly here. Soon, the moon was high in the sky and it was late at night.

With the light tapping of Wallifer's fingers, Jacob instantly woke up from a deep sleep. Because it was a deep sleep, his tired spirit was almost restored.

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly wake me up in the middle of the night?" After Jacob woke up, he saw the dark night outside the window and asked in confusion, "Even if you want to study hard, it's too strange to wake up in the middle of the night. Could it be that you want to learn magic related to the night?"

"No." Hearing this, Valive shook his head to express denial, "There are other things to do."

"other things?"

"Yes, I sensed that a magical item appeared nearby." Valive suddenly pointed in a direction outside the window, "It's right there."

Hearing that it was related to magic, Jacob looked out the window along the direction of Wallifer's finger, and saw at a glance the large, overlapping and intertwined religious holy sites that were being fought over.

"Temple Mount?!!!"

Jacob exclaimed in surprise. The Temple Mount was so famous that anyone who knew a little about religion would know it.

The dispute over the Temple Mount ruins has not subsided even in this peaceful period, as both religions want to seize the Temple Mount.

Chapter 377 Departure

"If it is what you call it now, it is indeed within the Temple Mount." Walif said, still looking in that direction.

Jacob also came over at this time, feeling the coolness of the night wind on his face. Then he looked at Valliver and said, "Could the magical item you mentioned be the legendary Ark of the Covenant?"

It is said that the Ark of the Covenant was a wooden cabinet that contained two stone tablets engraved with the Ten Commandments, a sprouted stick that Moses' brother Aaron had used, and a golden jar containing manna, the food that fell from heaven and ate when the Israelites wandered in the wilderness.

Some also say that the Ark of the Covenant hides the ultimate connection between God and mankind. In the minds of the Israelites in the Old Testament era, the Ark of the Covenant was a symbol of the presence of God.

During the reign of King Solomon, he enshrined the Ark of the Covenant in the most sacred place in Jerusalem, the inner sanctuary of the temple he built.

However, the Ark of the Covenant, which is so significant and precious, mysteriously disappeared in the sixth century BC.

Now that Walif said he had discovered an item with magical powers within the confines of the Temple Mount, it was hard not to think of this.

"Ark of the Covenant? I don't know either~" After hearing Jacob's guess, Wallifer responded in a weird tone.

As a demon from the time of King Solomon, he naturally could not be unaware of the Ark of the Covenant, a holy object that connected him to God. Therefore, Jacob knew at a glance that Wallifer was teasing him.

Jacob was a little angry at being mocked, but he soon realized his own stupidity. The Ark of the Covenant was a holy object related to God.

How could the demons from hell, who are hostile forces, come into contact with this holy object and sense the magic power on it?

Besides, a holy object like the Ark of the Covenant should be filled with holy light. How could it have such a thing as magic?

Jacob, who had thought things through, felt a little discouraged, and was too embarrassed to ask Wallifer about his teasing.

Seeing this, Valive patted Jacob on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Get ready, let's go."

Before Jacob could react, a dark purple magic circle appeared under Wallifer's feet, covering the two of them. After a flash of purple light, the two figures disappeared, and were replaced by two extremely black crows.

"Why did I turn into a crow?" One of the crows spoke in human language, but the tone did not sound very good.

"Because crows can fly, and they are black enough to be hard to be seen in the night." Another crow replied, then flapped its wings and flew to the windowsill.

"...It does seem to be correct." At first glance, Jacob found it quite reasonable. In fact, if he really wanted to turn into an animal, he wanted to turn into a golden eagle.

But since it has changed, he will try the body of this bird.

Jacob jumped twice on the ground, feeling the extremely low line of sight that he had never felt before, and then imitated the take-off posture of the birds he saw on TV.

"take off--!"

"Snapped!"

Jacob had just flapped his wings to feel the feeling of being suspended in the air when he couldn't control his body and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Hiss~" Valive took a deep breath of cold air considerately, and then said: "It hurts a lot, how about I use the levitation magic to help you?"

"No!" Jacob struggled to lift his crow head from the ground, "Don't help me, I will succeed!"

After a while...

"Does your magic of levitation work?" Jacob jumped to the bottom of the window and asked Wallifer on the windowsill with his head raised.

After falling countless times, Jacob finally figured out one thing: why should he, a human being, compete with the bodies of birds?

There's no benefit in succeeding anyway, and if you fail you'll just fall and get hurt all over.

After a while, two crows blended into the night and flew quickly in the sky, but a closer look revealed that one of the crows did not flap its wings at all and maintained its flying speed in a gliding posture.

"You have such a good magic of levitation, why didn't you use it earlier..." Even while flying, Jacob was still upset about the embarrassment he had just made.

But Valive seemed to have heard something extraordinary, and replied in an exaggerated tone: "Didn't you insist on it? And you said you would succeed."

"..."

Why did he just say such a mean thing and torture himself?

After being depressed for a moment, Jacob quickly recovered and looked down at the land.

In his eyes now, those densely packed houses and tall buildings looked like a bunch of very similar blocks, and they were very tightly packed together.

It’s a pity that there are not many pedestrians at night, otherwise those densely packed pedestrians would also be a unique landscape.

"Is this the world as seen by birds? No wonder humans try every possible means to fly into the sky."

"Okay, stop sighing, we're here."

Jacob had just gotten into the mood when Walif ruthlessly interrupted him and said they had arrived at the Temple Mount.

The only remaining Western Wall of the former Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount has also become the wall of the mosque.

When Wallifer arrived at the place, he landed first. He flapped his wings and landed on the dome of a temple.

Jacob originally thought that landing on the top of the temple was a bit of blasphemy against the Lord, but then he changed his mind and realized that he was already working with the devil, so why should he care about this? So he also landed on the top of the temple.

After landing, Wallifer looked around as if he was trying to determine the direction, and then flapped his wings and landed in a dark corner. Seeing this, Jacob hurriedly followed.

"The item is buried underground, and Crow's body is not able to move well. Next we need to find another body."

As he finished speaking, the familiar dark purple magic circle appeared again, purple light flashed, the crow disappeared, and two brown squirrels appeared on the ground.

"I say, could you not be so sudden next time?" Before Jacob could react, he had been turned into a squirrel.

But he just complained a little and then thought of what Valive had just said.

"You said underground? Do we have to rely on the squirrel's body to dig a hole?" Jacob's face changed when he thought of this possibility. This was too terrible and he couldn't accept it.

"Can't we use magic? The kind that can blend into the ground, dig holes and stuff, that's too difficult."

"I didn't say we were going to dig a hole."

"Ah?" Jacob was stunned when he heard Wallifer's answer, and immediately responded: "Didn't you say it was underground? How can we get underground without digging a hole?"

"Go from there."

Wallifer stood up and pointed at a golden-domed building with his furry little paw. Jacob recognized that building; it was the famous Dome of the Islamic Mosque.

The Noble Temple, known to Jews and Christians as the Temple Mount, remains one of Jerusalem's most famous landmarks.
