Chapter 177: The Boy's Entrustment
Jiwen returned to the forbidden god space, returning to this empty white field from the tense and oppressive real world, which made his mood relax a lot temporarily. But now is not the time to rest, there is still an important thing waiting for him to complete.
He hurried back to the goblin second-hand store, only to find that someone was already waiting for him.
The bronze-skinned boy Hull was sitting by the pool in the square, anxiously waiting. As soon as he saw Jiwen emerge from the teleportation, he hurried over.
"Jiwen, did you find her?"
"I've already met Mira. ”
Hearing the name, Hull shuddered, then ecstatic. He never told Gilvan her name, and since Given's ability to call Mira's name meant that Mira was really out of danger. Hull immediately began to inquire about Mira's condition, but as soon as he could speak, he was interrupted by Given.
"She's in terrible health right now, and the healing techniques of that world don't work for her. Hull, if you want to help her, answer my question truthfully. ”
Hearing this bad news, Hull's face suddenly turned cold, and he quickly nodded, waiting for Jiwen's inquiry.
"Hull, what the hell happened on the day Mira escaped!" Given's recollection of the description of that scene, Mira's account and Hull's account were different, and it was clear that they were both hiding something.
This question surprised Hull, who looked at Hull with a hesitant expression, as if he didn't know how to speak.
"Hull, Mira is running out of time. ”
Given's words finally broke the lock of Hell's mind, and his eyes were fixed on Gilvan and he began to calmly speak of what had happened that day.
"Jiwen, do you remember the first time I met you in the cave?"
Givens nodded, waiting for him to continue.
"The shackles I wore that day were Professor Jaime's tools to block my abilities. He was my first summoner and brought me into this world. He was powerful and could control me from anything, even the horrible ones. ”
Professor Jaime has been researching body modifications, and he is eager to gain the same shapeshifting abilities as Hull. So he dismissed the summons from Hel, and then asked Mira to summon Hel out, and concluded the Blood Pact. Professor Jaime used this to continuously modify Mira's body, trying to give the elves the ability to transform.
In order to prevent Mira from getting out of control after gaining Hull, Professor Jaime even spared no effort to put control shackles on Hull and forbid his transformation ability.
In this way, Hull was dissected alive by James in the research room again and again, and then Professor Jaime modified Mira again according to Hull's physical characteristics. At first, Professor James's research did not go well, and it took a long period of failure to find a suitable method. And during this period, there has been a spiritual spark between the two like-minded test subjects.
"Professor Jaime has finally found a way to transform with the help of a winged monster, so he's determined to end the experiment, he wants to kill Mira and turn me back into his summon. ”
"So you killed Professor Jaime? But you barely had any combat ability at the time, how did you do that? Hearing this, Jiwen couldn't help but ask.
"Do you remember the circle that sealed all the power of magic? that was a gift from the monsters to Professor Jaime. I peeked at how it was used, and then took advantage of Professor Jaime's carelessness to lock him in the circle. Mira took advantage of this opportunity to escape. ”
Hel had planned to take advantage of this opportunity to kill the murderous monster, but he didn't expect that Professor Jaime would improve his body beyond his imagination. Even Professor Jaime, who could not use spells, was extremely dangerous, and after a hard fight, Hull failed, and Professor Jaime broke the circle and chased him out.
However, in the midst of the scuffle, Hull spilled several tubes of unknown blood and potions from the laboratory into Professor Jaime's wound.
"I grabbed the circle props and returned to this world, and then I was captured until I met you and Harvey. And what happened to Professor Jaime after that, I don't know. ”
Hull's answer allowed Givens to connect the fragmented narratives in his mind and make up the whole picture of the event. Professor Jaime eventually catches up with Mira, who is desperate and has no choice but to transform into a desperate fight. I don't know if it was because of the potions that Hull spilled into the wound, Mira actually seriously injured Professor Jaime and fled.
Professor Jaime eventually lost control of his body, and his body was transformed into a half-elf, half-demon monster, and then destroyed by the King's Sword, which rushed to hear the news.
But there's one last gap in this complete story. Jiwen couldn't help but ask, "Since Mira is your summoner, why hasn't she summoned you all this time?" ”
When asked this question, Hull's eyes darkened even more.
"Mira relied on her modified body to overcome the limitations of her abilities and summon me. Before killing me, Professor Jaime had said that Mira's battered body could no longer sustain the summoning spell, and that she would never be able to summon me again. ”
When Hull finished answering, he lowered his head sadly, and there was a deathly silence around him.
It was a long time before Givens spoke again.
"Why didn't you tell the truth last time. ”
"I don't like to kill...... I don't want people to know that I've killed people. ”
"Alright, it's okay, let's let this matter pass. Jiwen looked at Hel's expression and had to change the subject: "Hel, then tell me now how you treat your body when you are sick or injured?" Elven's healing technique is almost ineffective against Mira, since she can become Hel's appearance, then she can only try Hel's method now.
Hel immediately understood what Given's intentions were, and he blurted out, "We'll go take the medicine." Those medicines, as you call them, are called metals!"
"Let's go, Hull, let's go to the blacksmith's shop. ”
When Givens heard Hull's answer, he immediately dragged him to the storeroom next to the blacksmith's shop.
Hull arrived at the warehouse where the metal materials were stored, and immediately began to pick up various metal samples from the shelves and sniff or nibble on them, carefully tasting the ingredients. The bronze-skinned teenager frantically searched through the piles of metal and the arsenal of materials, trying to find the healing elements.
After a long tasting process, Hull ran up to Given's with a pile of stones and pieces of metal, and said in embarrassment, "These things contain medicine, but they are not in the right proportions, and they may have to be mixed." ”
"It's okay, I'm a blacksmith. ”
With that, Givens put on the blacksmith's leather skirt, opened the magic furnace designed by Harvey, and then commanded Hull. "Boy, tell me what you remember, and I'll take care of the fusion. ”
In this way, the originally quiet blacksmith shop was once again lit with heat and black smoke. After nearly two days of continuous smelting, forging, doping, and repeated failures, Govern finally managed to make a large block of ferrous metal. Hull screamed excitedly after tasting the crumbs of the black metal.
"Yes, that's what it tastes like!
Seeing that this was done, Givens put the metal pieces into the storage ring and said goodbye to Hel.
"Alright, Hull, there are some things we'll talk about next time, and I'll have to get ready to go back to that world. ”
"Jiwen, please promise me that you must save her. Hull said awkwardly, a mixture of shyness and unease on his face. Although they were not of the same race, Givens could see the concern hidden under the boy's bronze skin.
"Why do you care so much about that elf named Mira? Jiwen, who was packing his things, asked deliberately.
"She, she...... It's important to me. Without her, I would have gone crazy in that horrible lab. ”
"You like her?"
"Yes...... Yes. I know, it doesn't make sense......" Hull struggled to admit after a long time.
Looking at this boy from an unknown world, looking at his youthful appearance when he first fell in love, Jiwen couldn't help but recall the happy time of his youth. For any living being, there will always be the first shadow in his life to open his heart, even Gevin himself is no exception.
At that time, Givenn couldn't protect that beautiful illusion, but today, with the power in his hands, maybe he could do it all for Hel.
A wry smile crossed Given's face at the thought of this, and he patted Hull on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, waiting for my good news. ”
