Chapter 117: This world is dangerous, and you can't stay for long
In the night, Hal returned, and he was very tired,
With the smell of gunsmoke, his handsome face was also stained with traces of black gunsmoke, and his body changed into a black delphinium at this time, with a human head and a bird body.
Ding, the magic door in the castle opened, and Hal walked into the room slowly, sat on a chair in front of the fireplace, closed his eyes and tilted his head to let out a long breath.
He had just returned from the battlefield, his mood was as heavy as ever, with a hint of sadness, he tried his best to stop the war, protect the civilians, he saved many people again, but also killed many people again......
The flames in the fireplace flickered and disillusioned, and Cassifer looked at the tired and sad Hal and smelled the smoke from him.
"It stinks, the stench of burnt creatures and iron on the battlefield."
Hal snorted uncomfortably, and the black delphinium feathers on his body disappeared little by little.
"If you transform for too long, you may not be able to turn back into a human."
He knows the seriousness and taboo of transformation magic, magic affects the body, becomes a bird body and human face, has the ability to fly, and will be eroded by magic power at all times, if it is used excessively, it may affect his mind and become a monster, but what he cares about at this time is not this.
With a sad sigh, he spoke:
"This time the war was fierce, and there was a sea of fire everywhere from the sea in the south to the border in the north."
Cassifer understands Hal's grief because they are one, hearts are connected, they can feel his pain, but they don't know what to say.
“…… I hate gunpowder fire the most, those guys don't know what politeness is! ”
"I was also attacked by my peers."
"Is it a Witch of the Wilderness?"
"No, it's all low-grade goods, they're all monsters."
"These guys, I must regret it now, I don't think they can turn back into humans."
"They probably don't care, and they have forgotten what regret is...... They don't count people anymore. ”
"The king has once again called you into the war, is he really not going?"
"Yes...... "But I'm not going," Hal replied to himself.
"By the way, what happened to Sophie and that King Jin?"
"Sophie is in a room over there, and she has slept ......"
Hal walked over, and in the corner not far from the fireplace, in the room separated by a curtain, Sophie fell asleep in a small bed, Hal gently lifted the curtain and looked at Sophie sleeping soundly.
"Squirrel ......"
In the middle of her night's sleep, Sophie briefly regained her youth and changed back to her original 18-year-old appearance, Hal remembered that this Cinderella who had met in the town of Makchiping a few days earlier, wearing a gray dress, but with a pair of pure and smart eyes, he was a little moved, he called her Little Squirrel......
In fact, when Sophie came to the castle and Hal saw her for the first time, he knew Sophie's origin, and also recognized that the aging curse on her body came from the Wilderness Witch, and it was he who caused Sophie to suffer such an unjustified disaster, which is why Hal agreed to Sophie to stay so easily.
As for the other uninvited guest......
Hal's tone became indifferent, and he asked:
"What about him?"
"He practiced the Witch Spirit Meditation Method today, and his soul fluctuation was too far away, and his spiritual power was consumed too much, and he is still asleep."
"Oh? Didn't Maruk wake up from this? ”
"Nope."
Hal was a little surprised, and his indifferent face was a little moved.
"This guest from the other world does have some skills, obviously he is just a soul of ordinary strength, but he can survive under the forbidden backlash of the witch spirit meditation method, it seems that he is really a nascent time traveler apprentice."
"Hal, you cheated him like this, what if he found out and got angry?"
"Nobody tells him the truth, he won't know, Cassifer, you know."
"Understand, I won't say it, I'm a demon, that guy threatened me with a contract between us when he first came, I'm very angry, I'm a demon."
"Still, he might be suspicious, right?"
"What about doubts, he doesn't dare to hurt Maruk's soul, otherwise I will completely destroy his soul......"
"And he can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, his soul survived the backlash and did not die, he has the most dangerous way to experience, and he will naturally have the most perfect harvest, he is not at a loss."
"Let's bring me hot water to the bathroom first."
Hal left, bathed and rested, he was really tired today.
"Okay."
……
On a sunny morning, Sophie carried Lanzi through the Magic Gate to buy groceries in the port town of Bohaven.
At this time, Wang Jin woke up, stumbled to the first floor with a pale face, and sat down in front of the fireplace.
Cassifer spoke:
"You're finally awake."
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been two days."
"Why didn't Hal tell me about the taboo of the Witch Spirit Meditation Method? Did he do it on purpose, trying to kill me? ”
After waking up, Wang Jin figured out that Hal deliberately didn't tell himself about these taboos!
Hearing this, Cassifer smiled and said, "Na, obviously you snatched Maruk's body first, so it's not surprising that Hal would be like this." ”
Wang Jin was silent, yes, think about it from another perspective, if I were Hal, I would definitely do it.
I believe Hal because I have read the influence of the original book, and I am subjectively affected, and I feel that Hal is a 'good person', a good actor, and a person who can be trusted.
But to Hal, I'm an extraterrestrial spirit, or demon, who has robbed the apprentice's body of unknown origin and has no tricks.
Hal didn't kill me at the first time, he has already proved his purity, he is not the kind of person who doesn't care about the life or death of his apprentice, and if he is gloomy, he doesn't care if Maruk is hurt or not, and it is not strange to directly and violently bind Wang Jin's soul and arrest him for research.
Most wizards and magicians are taboo-free.
"Then why did you remind me?"
Cassifer's reminder at the last moment allowed Wang Jin to contract his soul fluctuations in time to avoid fatal injury, otherwise he would have been scattered at the moment.
"Because I believe in you, and only in your prophecies."
"Trust me? Hal doesn't believe me, you hide it from Hal for this. ”
"You said you could break my contract with Hal, and I'm sure you can do it...... Hal is almost finished, Hal is dead, and I will die too. ”
Hal is about to finish?
Yes, that's right, there are many details in the original anime that explain this, while Hal and Cassifer made a symbiotic contract, they were also eroded by Cassifer's magic, and if he didn't think about it, sooner or later he would become a monster without reason, just like those 'peers' he killed on the battlefield, those 'low-level goods'.
If it weren't for Sophie's love and kiss, who took Howl's heart from Cassifer and returned it to him, Howl's fate would be in danger.
These are what Hal doesn't know, and what Cassifer doesn't know, who would have thought that Hal would fall in love with Sophie in the days to come, although Cassifah knew from Wang Jin's mouth that Sophie was the key to breaking the contract, but he didn't know what would happen later, including Sophie splashing water on it, asking for the heart, and returning the heart, as well as the inexplicable love 'kiss'.
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Jin suddenly found that even Sophie was not an ordinary person, why could an ordinary girl like her use love and kiss to break the contract between Hal and Cassifer, and then a kiss lifted the curse on the scarecrow......
Sophie, most likely, is not an ordinary person......
If the love and kiss of any ordinary woman can lift the magic curse and witchcraft, then wizards, magicians are still playing fart!
Even a magical girl who generates electricity with love needs a magic transformation stick...... Sophie could never be an ordinary woman!
"Damn, this world obviously feels warm and touching when watching anime, it's a romantic world with a leisurely painting style, but now it feels so dangerous...... The male protagonist doesn't believe me? If you want to hurt me, how can you play this? ”
"No, no, no, leave as soon as you give birth to the magic power, I don't dare to stay for a long time in this world, it's too dangerous!"
After experiencing such a dangerous thing personally, Wang Jin realized that the protagonist is the protagonist, he is him, and the protagonist is a good person in the anime and the original book, and he is good to others, but it does not mean that he will be good to himself...... The last experience of speeding up the world doesn't count
