A white mist suddenly rose from inside the divination ball, just like the black smoke before, and slowly filled the entire divination glass ball.
This time, with a different color, we might actually see something!
Xu Ling's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her mood lifted a little.
Fortunately, the divination ball did not disappoint Xu Ling this time. After the white mist became dense enough, it began to change.
Visibly, the color of the white fog began to change, as if it were being dyed with other colors.
Xu Ling focused her attention even more intently, holding her breath as she waited for the next development.
Kaopu was in the same state as Xu Ling, perched on Xu Ling's shoulder with a pair of cat-like eyes, observing intently.
The different colors began to intensify, and after looking at them for a while, Xu Ling discovered that a scene was faintly being rendered in the white mist.
Xu Ling immediately became excited; it seemed she really would find out where Ruth was!
Holding the divination ball, Xu Ling couldn't help but bring her hands closer to her eyes, widening them as if she could see the scene clearly.
However, this was completely futile; no matter how you look at it now, it's still a rather unclear picture.
For a moment, Xu Ling felt as if she had returned to the time when she was working hard for the college entrance examination.
The endless classes, tests, and problems caused her vision to worsen, making everything blurry and impossible to see clearly no matter how hard she tried.
However, that's impossible now. She's a goddess now, and even if she overuses her eyes every day, she can't possibly become nearsighted!
However, no matter how carefully she looked, she still couldn't see clearly, which inevitably made Xu Ling feel a little bad.
Will it always be like this?
How would she know where Ruth was?
Xu Ling couldn't help but mutter a few complaints to herself.
Fortunately, the system's output was fairly reliable, and the vaguely visible image gradually became clearer over time.
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like only a short while, before the image on the divination ball finally became clearly visible.
Now, Xu Ling could finally see everything clearly!
Suppressing her surging joy, Xu Ling forced herself to concentrate on observing.
The initial scene was rather monotonous, consisting mainly of green and blue skies with white clouds.
Xu Ling looked at it for a while before realizing what the green color was.
Having lived in barren lands all her life, and facing only dry soil every time she opened and closed her eyes, Xu Ling had become so accustomed to it that she had even forgotten that the land outside was not like this.
Yes, this lush green patch is actually just a lawn. If there's anything special about it, it's that it looks very neat and tidy, as if it's been regularly trimmed, rather than growing wildly like a patch of grass in the wild.
It looks pretty good!
Xu Ling secretly praised him.
Just then, the image inside the divination ball began to change.
It seemed to be approaching somewhere; the scene quickly swept across a monotonous meadow, and soon, something black and red suddenly appeared in the center.
As they drew closer, Xu Ling noticed a building in the center, painted in black and red, in a typical European palace style, with a pointed roof that pierced the sky.
Xu Ling only glanced at it briefly, before she could examine it closely, and the scene moved closer and closer to the building.
In the blink of an eye, many more people suddenly appeared in the scene, making it instantly crowded.
If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad, but these people were all dressed the same, almost all wearing black cloaks. The scene moved among them, and occasionally the black corners of their clothes seemed to be hitting her face.
It was fine for a moment, but the scene kept moving around for a long time.
After looking around for a while, Xu Ling couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. She rubbed her temples and muttered to herself, "Where am I? Why is everyone wearing black?"
And why are there so many people!
Xu Ling was puzzled by this.
When Kaopu first saw the scene, it didn't really know where it was, but seeing those people wearing the same clothes gave it a sense of déjà vu.
Fortunately, this time the problem wasn't serious, and it quickly realized where it was.
It's an academy.
Therefore, those who frequently appear in the images are either students or teachers.
However, now is not the time to analyze this with Xu Ling. Let's finish reading first!
So, Kaopu didn't say anything, but simply reached out his paw and patted Xu Ling's head to get her to focus.
Xu Ling naturally knew what was important and what was urgent. She had just asked a question casually and hadn't expected an answer immediately.
Now, finding clues about Ruth is of utmost importance!
However, the scene remains unchanged.
Seeing this, Xu Ling couldn't help but mutter to herself, wondering where they were trying to go and why they were still weaving in and out of the black-clad group after all this time.
Perhaps sensing Xu Ling's inner grumbling, the scene changed the next second, and the number of people around began to decrease. In a short while, the scene became empty, with no one in sight.
Then, the camera suddenly tilted up, and the surrounding scenery began to change completely.
I don't know where I entered, but a large solid wood square table was the first thing that came into view.
On the square table was a neatly stacked row of rather thick books. The stack was so high that it almost blocked the view, making it impossible to see what was behind the books.
The divination ball seemed to realize this as well, and the next second, the image automatically rose upwards.
Beyond the towering stacks of books, like mountains, the scenes hidden behind them were clearly revealed to Xu Ling and Kao Pu.
Xu Ling focused intently, her eyes fixed on the scene, and anticipation gradually rose within her.
However, the moment the image appeared before their eyes, Xu Ling was disappointed.
Behind the towering stacks of books, someone was writing furiously, but unfortunately, that person was not Ruth, whom they had been expecting.
It was clear to the naked eye that the person was of normal build, unlike the tiny little fairy.
At this moment, the person in the picture is dressed in all black, the same style as the group of people who appeared in the picture just now.
Because she was looking down, Xu Ling could only see the other person's short, white hair and half of their face, which was barely visible.
Because of the thick stack of books in front of him, Xu Ling couldn't see his expression at all, only vaguely seeing the tip of his upturned nose and the slightly reflective monocle on his right side.
Xu Ling observed for a while before losing interest; however, the focus remained on the other person.
"When will we finally see Ruth?" Xu Ling couldn't help but mutter. "Could there be something wrong with this divination ball?"
Why bother looking at such an insignificant person?!
