Accidentally found

In the mysterious, dreamlike space at the heart of the ruins, Carl and his companions searched intently. Every inch of the air here seemed drenched in magic, solemn and mysterious. Carl's eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, suddenly caught a glimpse of something strange in the corner.

"Wow! Come and see!" Carl's voice, like a ringing victory bell, high-pitched and excited, echoed through the ruins. He seemed to be infused with boundless energy, running briskly towards the corner, his eyes never moving away from that direction.

At the sound, his companions quickly gathered around, like a needle drawn to a magnet. Tom's already large eyes widened to the size of bells, his face filled with disbelief and extreme excitement. "Oh my God! It's a book! This must be an incredibly powerful magic manual! We're going to be rich!" He shouted, gesticulating with joy, as if he could already see a glorious future as a world-class magician.

"Look at you, silly guy. Don't be too happy too soon. Maybe it's just an ordinary old book." Although Lucy said this, her eyes were flashing with the same fiery light as Tom's. She leaned forward, eager to find out.

Carl slowly crouched down, like a devout believer approaching a sacred object. He gently blew away the thick layer of dust from the book, and under the light of the magic circle, the dust drifted away like golden smoke. When the book was fully revealed before everyone, they couldn't help but gasp. The material was unlike anything they were familiar with. It was as smooth as jade, yet with a metallic texture. In the dim light, it shimmered with dreamy colors, as if forged from a mysterious substance deep within the universe. The ancient words on the cover danced like a group of lively elves, each character exuding a magical power that both mesmerized and awe-inspired.

"This... this text is so cool! But why don't I recognize any of it?" Jerry opened his eyes wide, his face full of amazement, and his fingers imitated the shapes of the characters in the air, trying to find a clue from them.

"Haha, I knew you couldn't understand it. This is a magical language that is so ancient that it can't be any older. I've seen similar shadows in the corners of those ancient magic documents in the academy that few people care about." Carl's voice trembled slightly with excitement, his eyes fixed on these words, as if he wanted to see through them.

"Carl, you have to try your best! If you can decipher it, you will be my idol, even better than those legendary magicians!" Tom waved his fist and cheered Carl on, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Huh, you just put pressure on Carl. Carl, ignore him, take your time, we all believe in you." Lucy patted Carl's shoulder gently, her eyes full of trust and encouragement.

Carl took a deep breath, as if absorbing all the magic around him. He extended his finger and gently touched the ancient characters, muttering something to himself. A bright, soft light instantly emanated from the tip of the wand, like sunlight penetrating the mist in the early morning, illuminating the pages of a book. The light seemed to resonate with the book in some mysterious way, and the characters, as if summoned, began to flicker. Beads of sweat gradually formed on Carl's forehead, gleaming like pearls in the light. But he was oblivious. His world was filled only with the book and these mysterious characters.

"Carl, if you really can't do it, we can't force it. What if the book gets angry and turns us all into toads?" Tom said with pretended worry, but his excitement did not diminish at all. He stared at Carl's every move without blinking.

"Go to hell, Tom! Can't you say something auspicious? Carl will definitely be fine, he is the smartest among us." Lucy glared at Tom fiercely, clenched her fists tightly, and was more nervous than Carl.

Suddenly, Carl's eyes lit up like two burning suns, and a smile brighter than the magic circle itself spread across his face. "I get it! I've found the clue!" His voice resounded through the ruins like thunder, shaking everyone's hearts to their pounding.

"Great! Carl, I knew you could do it!" The companions cheered, and the sound echoed in the ruins for a long time, as if it was going to break through the shackles of this ancient building.

Carl deciphered the text with increasing concentration, his lips moving rapidly as if engaged in a passionate conversation with the ancient characters. With each passage he deciphered, his eyes lit up, his face flushed with excitement. "Did you know? This book contains the secrets of the ancient gods! The secrets of those magnificent beings!" Carl's voice cracked with excitement, his body trembling slightly. The book in his hands felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds, laden with endless mysteries.

"Wow! Ancient gods! Is there any clue to the magical artifacts they left behind? Or a treasure with infinite magical power?" Tom jumped up excitedly. In his mind, he had already imagined himself holding the artifact and dominating the magical world. He looked like a child who had received candy.

"You only care about treasures and artifacts. Maybe there are more important things in here." Although Lucy complained, her eyes were full of anticipation and excitement. She stared at the book, as if she could dig out gold from it in the next second.

Carl ignored their clamor and continued to immerse himself in the world of the book. "There's a special method to break through the barriers of this world! We found it! We really found it!" Carl's voice almost broke through the sky, and he raised the book high in his hands, like a flag of victory.

"Great! Carl, you're truly our lucky star!" Teacher Ivan's face was filled with a delighted smile, a smile like a warm spring breeze, dispelling the tension and fatigue in everyone's hearts. The other teachers and students also cheered, hugging and high-fiving each other. The excitement was like celebrating a great victory.

"However, this method doesn't seem simple. It requires many special conditions and materials." Carl frowned slightly, but the excitement in his eyes did not diminish at all. He was like an explorer looking for the most precious gem in a pile of treasure, and was full of fighting spirit for the upcoming challenges.

"It doesn't matter. With so many of us, we can definitely make it happen. This is our hope!" Teacher Brown waved his wand, and the light on the top of the wand seemed to be cheering for their determination.

Carl carefully flipped through the pages, each one a gateway to a mysterious world. The illustrations were exquisite, like strokes of genius, each imbued with magic. The gods soared high above the clouds, shrouded in a dazzling halo of magical light, their every gesture seeming to wield the power to annihilate the heavens and earth. The images were so vivid, it seemed as if the gods would step out of the book at any moment. His companions were mesmerized, unable to blink.

"This illustration is absolutely amazing! It feels like we are witnessing the gods creating the world with our own eyes." Jerry opened his mouth in amazement, his eyes full of awe at this magical picture.

"Don't just look at the pictures, there's a lot of text here to study." Although Teacher Claire said this, her eyes were often drawn to the illustrations, her eyes full of amazement.

So, everyone gathered around Carl, like a group of children listening to a story around a campfire, discussing the matter one after another, with excitement and wisdom glittering in everyone's eyes.

"Look here, this symbol seems to be a bit similar to the one we saw on the edge of the magic circle before." Teacher Alvin pointed to a character in the book and said, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement at discovering a clue.

"Yes! Maybe there is a connection between them." Lucy responded excitedly, her fingers gently running across the pages, feeling the magic transmitted by the ancient paper.

Tom frantically rummaged through his backpack, mumbling, "I remember I brought a little notebook on symbol interpretation. Maybe it'll come in handy."

In this intense discussion and research, they seemed no longer to be in a dangerous ruin, but a group of explorers swimming in the ocean of knowledge. Each new discovery was like a shining pearl, which they carefully picked up and strung together to form a necklace leading to hope. However, they did not know that this mysterious book was like a double-edged sword. While it brought them hope, it could also bring them unexpected dangers.
