Chapter 106: Howl's Apprentice Maruk, Extraterritorial Demon Spirit!
In the magical land of Ingili, there have always been magical stories of magicians, witches, and witches, but people who live in this country know that these are not legends, but real stories and characters that can be seen from time to time.
He or she, the noble and mysterious magician, the mysterious witch, the evil and terrible witch, etc., appears almost every month of the year in a land of the kingdom.
Even the royal family of the kingdom has a royal magician, Lady Sallyman, who is said to be the most powerful witch in the kingdom, and she has two students, Howl, who owns a magical moving castle, and the other is a notorious wilderness witch who makes deals with demons.
At this time, near the wasteland of the Ingiri realm, the Wilderness Witch is tracking Hal day and night, trying to get his 'heart' in him.
It was also because of this incident that a tall black castle that would move often appeared on the hills near the ordinary and calm town of Makchiping, causing a panic among the people of the town, until it was later learned that it was not the castle of the Witch of the Wilderness but the castle of Howl, another mysterious wizard, and they were slightly relieved.
Compared to the Witch of the Wilderness, who is moody and murderous, Wizard Howl's reputation is slightly better, though not much better...... Hal is not as careless as the Witch of the Wilderness, he prefers to collect the souls of young girls, and according to legend, he likes to eat their hearts.
Well, at least not young teenage people can breathe a sigh of relief.
Therefore, in the stories that have been circulated, there are two kinds of images of Howl.
First, Hal is an extremely cold-blooded, heartless wizard.
Second, Hal just wanted to capture the hearts of one girl after another and then abandon them, but he never hurt them.
In this statement, it brings a touch of amorous and peachy luster to Hal.
Not many people believe in such a statement, such as teenagers and men who grit their teeth and disbelieve it, but it is widely circulated in the circle of girls.
Some people even say that the girl who can be favored by Hal and steals her heart must be the most beautiful and kind girl in the neighborhood.
And our story does not start with Howl, nor with the other heroine, Sophie, but with Maluk, a schoolboy who stays in Howl's castle.
Quiet night, on the back of the hills near the town of Makchipin.
The black castle stands quietly.
This is exactly Howl's Moving Castle, and it is indeed all-black and quirky, as people say.
From a distance, it looks about three stories tall, and the castle has four tall and narrow corner towers that still emit tiny light smoke, and the shape is strange, not at all aesthetically pleasing, like a castle put together by children out of building block toys.
In its interior rooms, too, it is dim and messy.
Inside, there were all sorts of strange sorcery, spell materials, such as bunches of onions, bunches of herbs, unknown rhizomes, all hanging from the beams of the roof, unorganized.
There are also wizards, the must-have things for magicians, such as books wrapped in magical leather, I don't know if they are magic books or witchcraft books, some bottles and cans with unknown liquids, an old yellowed grinning skull, and so on.
The only source of light in the room was probably a burning fireplace, but the fire inside was small, and in the middle of a few shimmering pieces of wood was a small yellow fire, which burned bright rose, and on top of the fire there was a faint blue.
Don't underestimate this humble fireplace, it's actually the most important energy power center of the moving castle, which allows it to move and provide strong protection, protecting Hal from the wilderness time and time again.
And here, next to the fireplace, in just the warmest position, is a low-legged chair lined with cushions.
The thirteen-year-old boy, Maruk, Howl's schoolboy, sat on it, his head slightly bowed, his breathing steady, and he fell asleep.
He waited for Hal to return until late at night, and his deep sleep was unstoppable now.
Suddenly, the yellow fire in the fireplace suddenly lit up, and the rose-colored fire body lit up, and at this time it turned into two small arms, and after a tremble, it gradually changed into a cute baby face, and the yellow fire head turned into a flame spirit with a pair of small eyes composed of flames, a large flat mouth, and slender flame arms.
"Hey, Maruk, Maruk, wake up......"
The Child of the Star, the fire demon Calcifer, awoke from its slumber as it sensed that Maruk's mental fluctuations had briefly disappeared, and it suspected that the Witch of the Wilderness might have launched some cursed attack.
It can attack across the air, and act on the castle inner fort, through dozens of layers of magic and witchcraft defense, such a curse attack is extraordinary.
The only strange thing is why this time it will be applied to Maluk, who is just Howl's apprentice.
"Wake up, wake up ......"
Wang Jin's consciousness came to his senses, the so-called once born and twice matured, after having the experience of speeding up the world, this time he was much calmer, after he opened his eyes and saw the fire elf like a fire spirit in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and many thoughts flashed in his mind.
Flame Elves? Magic? Is a world with supernatural powers still magic? And this flame elf looks a little familiar.,How cute and even a little cute is this flame elf.,Well,It seems to be a ...... in my impression.
He quickly regained his composure and launched a quality trifecta.
"Flame Elves?"
Cassifer looked at Wang Jin vigilantly and did not answer.
"Flame Demon?"
The tongue of fire on Cassifer's body was slightly blazing, but he still did not answer vigilantly.
"Son of the stars? …… Cassifer! ”
The first half of the last sentence is still in a questioning tone, and the second half is already an affirmative sentence.
Whew!! Boom Boom Hoo Hoo ......
The original two fist-sized Cassifers in the fireplace grew violently and rapidly, and the flames rose hot, yellow, orange, and red!
In the blink of an eye, Cassifer had grown more than ten times larger, his face was hideous, and his magic was violent, and at this time, it had the appearance of a flame demon.
"Who are you? Why do I know my real name? Are you the Witch of the Wilderness man? No, even the Witch of the Wilderness doesn't have the ability to penetrate so many spell barriers in the castle to occupy Maruk's body...... You're an extraterrestrial spirit?! ”
The fiery tongue of fire kept expanding and retracting in front of Wang Jin's eyes, and Cassif's tenfold flame arm was almost hitting Wang Jin's body.
