Hearing this answer, Sophie was a little stunned, and she began to look at everything in front of her with a scrutinizing gaze, the room was dirty and full of all kinds of strange things, which made her more sure that this was a house where wizards lived, and then she saw the chair in front of the fireplace, and the warm luster beckoned to her.

Sophie didn't care so much, dropped the crutches in her hand, walked quickly past the boy to the chair, sat comfortably, the warm fire shone on her old body at this time, this way against the wind, it really made her very tired, but also very cold, at this time the chair and the fireplace made her feel the taste of happiness.

"Oh, so happy."

Wang Jin closed the door, picked up Sophie's crutches and put it aside in the chair, and then said:

"Mother-in-law, your name is Sophie, right? Mother-in-law Sophie. ”

"Yes, boy, how do you know my name? You're a wizard too, right? Wizard Howl's apprentice? ”

Sophie, who was sitting in a chair enjoying the warmth, was stunned for a moment.

"Hehe, I'm not Howl's apprentice, and I'm not a wizard for the time being, I'm just like you, I'm a guest...... But I know your name is Sophie, and I even know that you were enchanted by a Wilderness Witch who turned you into an 18-year-old you into a 90-year-old you, right, Sophie? ”

When Sophie heard this, she got up excitedly and grabbed Wang Jin's arm.

"You, you know I'm under a curse, oh my God, you can help me, right, help me lift the curse."

Wang Jin shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a guest of Howl, not a wizard, and I can't help you for the time being."

"The king is right, he's just a guest here like you, and he doesn't have the power to help you lift the curse, not even a wizard's apprentice."

Sophie was startled, she saw something, in the fire in front of the fireplace, with a pair of flaming arms, some cute little faces were talking to her, and she nervously picked up the cane next to the chair.

"Your curse is complicated."

"It's really not easy to crack, and it also sets a limit that you can't tell anyone."

"Fire, fire talking?"

"Are you Howl?"

"No, I'm a demon, Fire Demon Calcifer." Cassifer said proudly.

"So, Cassifer, can you remove the magic from me?"

Sophie asked Cassifer with a look of hope.

"That's easy, as soon as you untie the magic that binds me here, I'll immediately lift the magic curse on you."

Cassifer said this confidently, with a seductive tone.

"In other words, I have to make a deal with the demon? Do you promise to keep your promises? ”

Sophie clenched the cane in her hand and asked rhetorically in a calm tone, with a hint of strange taste.

Even the most ignorant civilians know that making a deal with a demon is the most dangerous thing to do.

"The devil is not a guarantee."

Hearing that Cassifer didn't make a guarantee, Sophie relaxed as if deflated.

"Forget it, I'd better find someone else, like this teenager."

The matter was on Wang Jin, and he couldn't help but stop talking, so he spread his hands and said:

"Oh, I'm sorry, Granny Sophie, I only came to this world yesterday and temporarily resided in this young body, so I don't have the ability to undo the magic on you for the time being, but I'm sure Hal should."

"What? You, for the time being, are you also a demon? ”

"Well, sort of." Wang Jin shrugged his shoulders and said.

When Sophie heard this, the young man in front of her was actually a demon who occupied other people's bodies, and she was a little scared.

"That's right, the king is also a demon, but now he is the most useless demon, a demon who can only occupy Maruk's body, but has no magic at all, you better make a deal with me...... I, O the most pitiful demon. ”

Cassif's last words, with a pitiful whimper, wanted to win Sophie's sympathy.

"I'm chained to this fireplace, and I'm forced to do a lot of magic work for Howl, and the whole castle is moved by me."

Sophie didn't believe Cassifah's words and asked rhetorically, "Isn't it good for you to sign a contract with Hal?" ”

"Of course it's good, but ......," Calcifer said, shaking his flames:

"But if I had known that I would lose my freedom because of this, I wouldn't have signed it, I was really exploited so badly."

"Oh, that's pathetic...... Okay, so first tell me what the contents of the deed are? How can I lift it? Sophie knew that it was wrong to make a deal with the devil, but when she heard Cassifer say it so pitifully, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy and empathy, yes, she thought that she worked every day in the hat shop, while her stepmother's sister played outside all day.

"This ......"

"The contract on Cassifer's body is the same as yours, and you can't tell anyone else."

Wang Jin walked to the fireplace, picked up two pieces of firewood and placed them under Cassifer.

Cassifer shook his body and said cheerfully, "Yes, that's right, but, King, you must know, right?" You can see the future, you know about Sophie's arrival, you know the curse on her, you must know my contract, right? ”

"I'm sorry, Calcifer, I only know part of the future, I see a future in which Sophie is the key person to break the contract with you, that's all, as for how to break the contract between you and Hal, I really don't know how to do it."

Wang Jin is telling the truth, even after watching the original anime, he didn't understand how Sophie terminated the symbiotic contract between Hal and Cassifer, it seems that it was because of Sophie's - 'love'? No, the complexity inside is by no means so simple, and after really learning the knowledge of magic, the more I understand the complexity.

When Sophie heard this, she felt that the two 'demons' in front of her were working together to deceive her, and said hatefully:

"Alright, two demons, do you think you can fool me by saying this, I won't be fooled."

Cassifer said with some anger and excitement:

"No, I didn't lie to you, I never lied, I hate lies the most......"

"No, I'm not going to be fooled, what you can't tell someone is definitely a lie, whether it's the contract on you or the magic on me."

"I really didn't lie to you."

"Then you undo the magic on me first."

"This can't work, the magic on your body is a magic curse under the witch of the wilderness, it's complicated and troublesome, and it will take me at least a month to study it before it can be lifted."

"A month?" Sophie's eyes grunted, meaning she could stay here temporarily, huh? It's the best thing for her now, who has nowhere to go.

"But I don't know Hal, and I have no excuse to stay."

"The excuse is too simple, that guy Hal is very incompetent in many things, he spends most of his time focusing too much on magic, and many things will not be noticed even if they appear in front of his eyes, you see, this room is so messy, it can be seen how lazy he is, so that as long as you agree to help me, we can lie to him together."

Cassifer said.
