At this moment, the skeleton's fingers loosened quietly, wiping away the remaining dust, and a book with a badly worn cover slipped from its palm and fell lightly to the ground with a slight sound.

The book, along with several pieces of parchment, a pile of bottles and jars, and even a brass ring shining with cold light, fell on the dark laboratory floor, making a crisp collision sound. The appearance of these items seemed to call for Gerling's attention, urging him to explore the secrets in the endless darkness.

Looking down from the perspective of a raven, the edge of the book was worn, revealing the secrets within. Gerling realized that this book might record the unfinished experiments of the skeleton during his lifetime, or the forbidden knowledge he was pursuing. A strong curiosity surged in his heart, as if being pulled by an invisible thread, prompting him to approach the book.

He no longer hesitated. As his consciousness expanded, his soul turned into a stream and flowed toward the ancient book. The pages slowly turned, as if welcoming this new reader. Gerling's heart was filled with anticipation. At this moment, he felt that he was closely connected to the skeleton and this forgotten world.

Between the pages, the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, like the whisper of a wise man. Each paragraph contains profound philosophy, revealing the mysteries and taboos of alchemy. From the basic element theory to complex symbols and magic circles, the book records in detail the various experiments that the skeleton did during his lifetime.

"Calcination, sublimation, fusion..." Between the lines, Gelling felt a strong passion, as if he was having a dialogue with great wisdom. The skeleton was once an alchemist, pursuing immortality and supreme power. The book details his hard work to achieve this goal and the setbacks he encountered along the way.

As he was immersed in the book, several pieces of parchment caught his attention. The edges of these papers were yellowed, and some experimental records were written in exquisite handwriting. Gerling tried to concentrate and tried to decipher those seemingly complex symbols and formulas. The inscription of the skull emerged on the page: "True alchemy is not only the transformation of matter, but also the sublimation of the soul."

As Gelling explored deeper, he realized that these experiments not only involved the change of matter, but were actually closely related to the belonging of the soul and the harmony between man and nature. This skeleton alchemist was once deeply trapped in the desire for power, but eventually he was on the road to despair. Each of his failures was a questioning of the essence of life, and these records are exactly what he wanted to express before his death.

Continuing to flip through the pages, Gellin's eyes fell on the bottles and jars. These containers were of various shapes, some filled with glowing powders, others filled with strange symbols, and exuding a faint fragrance. In these seemingly messy containers, there were more mysterious powers and knowledge hidden. Gellin could feel the energy contained in them, like a surging ocean, waiting to be awakened.

Finally, his eyes fell on the brass ring. The surface of the ring was engraved with complex patterns, and in the center was a deep and bright blue gem, emitting a faint glow. Gerlin was shocked, and his intuition told him that this ring was definitely unusual, and perhaps it was a symbol of what the skeleton had been pursuing all his life.

He gently took off the ring, and when he touched it, he seemed to feel a warm power spreading instantly. A strange connection was formed between the ring and him, and Gelling's consciousness was drawn into an ancient and mysterious memory. Fragments of the skeleton's life emerged in front of him: in the laboratory with flickering candlelight, he carried out experiments again and again with perseverance, longing for eternity and truth in the world.

His goal gradually became clear, and the skeleton's obsession was like an invisible chain that tightly bound Gerling's soul. At that moment, Gerling understood: it was this obsession that led him to an irreversible abyss and made him a lonely soul drowned in darkness.

A strong dizziness hit Gellin, and his consciousness was constantly fragmented and reorganized in this memory, and the space around him gradually became blurred. However, his inner desire drove him and made him unwilling to give up the pursuit of the truth. The experience of the skeleton warned him that the real power did not come from the control of matter, but from the understanding of oneself and the awe of life.

When he finally got out of the fog, the raven's perspective returned again, and everything in the laboratory seemed to have returned to its original tranquility. However, the shock deep in his heart could not be calmed down. Gelling realized that he was no longer the wandering soul. He carried not only the last wish of the skeleton, but also the pursuit of the true meaning of life.

After a moment's hesitation, he put away the book, parchment, bottles and rings one by one, and made up his mind - he would inherit the will of the skeleton and explore the endless knowledge and power. However, this road was destined to be tortuous and difficult, full of unknown dangers.

In this laboratory full of secrets, he has found his own direction. The adventure that is about to begin is a new exploration of life and self. His soul glows with unprecedented brilliance at this moment, as if he wants to have a dialogue with the soul of the skeleton and uncover the dusty history.

At this moment, he was holding the old alchemy book in his hand, his wings gently brushing across the pages, as if listening to the whispers of an ancient wise man. The tattered parchments scattered all over the ground recorded the Skeleton's experimental experience and failed experiences during his lifetime, and every line of words condensed his persistent pursuit of truth.

Gerling cast his eyes on those exquisite glass bottles and jars, which were filled with various luminous powders and mysterious potions. Some shone with metallic luster, while others exuded a rich aroma. These were precious materials for alchemy, embodying the magical power of nature.

Finally, his eyes fell on the brass ring. The surface of the ring was engraved with an exquisite magic circle pattern, and in the center was a deep and bright sapphire, shining brightly under the firelight. This ring was once the embodiment of the skeleton's obsession, witnessing his entire journey of pursuing immortality and supreme power.

A strong impulse arises spontaneously, driving Gerling to inherit this legacy and embark on a difficult road to the truth. He knows that this road is destined to be full of unknown dangers and tests, but it also contains infinite power and opportunities.

At this moment, a slight whistling sound came from behind, and the black wings drew a smooth arc in the air. Gerlin turned around and saw the raven perched on a candlestick, its sharp eyes seemed to be staring at him.

This raven has always been his most loyal companion, accompanying him in countless wanderings and adventures. It seems to have sensed the changes in Gerling's heart, as if encouraging him to embark on a new journey in its own way.

Gellin stared at the raven, and a firm determination rose in his heart. He knew that leaving this laboratory that had been abandoned for many years was the only way to the future. So he put the book, parchment, bottles and jars, and rings into his arms one by one, ready to embark on a new journey.

Just as he turned around, a golden light suddenly flashed in the corner, attracting his attention. Gellin looked in the direction of the light and saw an ancient mirror standing there quietly, with dust and cracks all over the mirror surface. However, under the reflection of the light, a familiar figure appeared in the mirror - it was his own appearance.

Gellin couldn't help but look into the mirror, as if he was truly gazing at himself for the first time. In that familiar face, he saw his past wanderings and confusion, as well as his longing and expectations for the future. At that moment, he realized that he was at a major turning point, a starting point for a new life.

The figure in the mirror seemed to nod at him, as if encouraging him to take the next step bravely. Gerling took a deep breath, turned around, and strode towards the exit of the laboratory. As he walked, the shadows on the floor danced, as if cheering on his determination.

When he came to the exit, he looked back at the dim laboratory. It had witnessed the Skeleton's arduous journey in pursuit of truth, and it would also be the starting point of his new journey. Gerling knew that from now on, he would no longer be that aimless wandering soul, but a true alchemist, a practitioner pursuing the mystery of life.

The raven flapped its wings, flew past Gerling, and flew into the depths of the dark corridor. Gerling smiled knowingly, followed its footsteps without hesitation, and welcomed the new arrangement of fate.

At the end of the corridor, a faint light was waiting for him. It was the door to the outside world and also the new starting point for Gerling to embark on the road of seeking knowledge. When he stepped out of the door, the fresh air rushed to his face, as if welcoming a long-lost traveler.

Gerling took a deep breath and felt the breath of freedom. Although the road ahead was rugged and difficult, his inner desire would become his most solid motivation. He would follow the will of the skeleton to explore the secrets of alchemy and pursue the ultimate truth of life.
