When: Seven days before the May Festival.

Location: In the territory of the Kingdom of Ingri, the town of Makchipin.

It's a magical land, where there are Seven Mile Boots that can make people fly, and invisibility cloaks that can make people invisible. It is a world of witches and witches, wizards, and spells, as well as steel cannons, warships, and airplanes, and it is a strange world where science and magic coexist at the end of the 19th century.

The beginning of the story begins with a meteor in the sky in the early morning......

In the early morning, the morning mist was filled, and the sun had already risen into the sky, showing its head, and the morning mist had already dispersed in the town of Makchipin, and there were still large patches of morning mist left in the wilderness hills far away from the town.

There was a strange roar, the sound of steam, which sounded in this great morning mist, and in the gentle slopes under the hills of the wilderness, the shepherd, driving the sheep to graze, heard this sound, and he looked up and saw what was in the morning mist!

Squeak, boom. Squeak, boom.

It was a tall and strange black castle, tall and thin, very ugly from a distance, there were several tall and narrow corner towers on the castle, strange shapes, like children with many toys put together, and at the same time constantly spitting black smoke into the sky, forming black clouds, and then dispersing in the sky, at this time the foot of this castle stretched out four huge legs like chicken claws, no, eagle claws, or devil's claws, walking in the hills, each step of the castle was very bumpy, but walking very steadily.

The shepherd waved the whip in his hand and whispered, "Oh, it's Hal! Howl's Castle. This damn wizard! He loves to collect young and beautiful maidens, suck their souls, and devour the hearts of teenage girls!! Evil sorcerer! ”

"Come on. Damn sorcerer, I'm not afraid of you, I'm not a beautiful girl, you're here to devour my soul and heart, come! "The shepherds have been in a bad mood lately, and it's about to be the annual May Festival in the Kingdom of England.

May Festival is a festival held by Ingri on May 1 every year to celebrate the arrival of spring and the birth of all things. On this day, in the kingdom of Ingri, unmarried girls will be dressed neatly. Singing and dancing in the streets. This day is also the day when the love between many young girls and young people is born and begins.

The shepherd is not very old, in his thirties, although he is not ugly, but he is very sloppy as a shepherd all year round. It's dirty. I don't like to be clean, I smell like sheep, I don't like to take a bath, and no girl wants to agree to be with him on May Day.

In the words of the girls, oh, with you for Mayday, we would rather be taken away by Hal and devour our our souls and hearts, and this is not the worst result. Because Hal only wants to collect young and beautiful maidens, like that. At least it proves that they are beautiful girls, doesn't it?

The maidens' words hurt the shepherd's heart so badly that Hal hate Hal from then on, which is why he scolded Hal so much when he saw Howl's castle.

The shepherd's guts are not small, and he dares to scold the wizard?! Of course, there is a reason for this, because Hal has never really done evil.

Howl's evil name has been around in the town of Makchipin for a long time, and when his castle first appeared in the wilderness hills outside the town, it caused everyone in the town to be terrified, like a frightened witch of the wilderness, and everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to go out at night.

But as time passed, Howl's castle often wandered in the wilderness, like a black stain, sometimes on the rock wall to the east, sometimes on the hill, and sometimes even closer to the town's farms, and one could often see this strange black castle on the move, and after a long time, people were not afraid, for it was discovered that Howl's castle only turned around the wilderness hills, and never really appeared outside the town of Macchipin.

Later, at some point, someone spread the bad reputation of Hal, saying that he would collect the hearts of beautiful girls and suck their souls and hearts, but some people said that Hal just wanted to capture the hearts of one girl after another, and then abandoned them, but never hurt them, it is said that some girls themselves came out to defend themselves, but few people believed that Hal would not harm anyone.

At this time, in Howl's castle, a slender young man wearing a blue and silver gorgeous suit woven from the silk of the Oriental Country, his blonde hair with a shawl fell straight down on his shoulders, a pair of eyes like green glass beads, and the same thin face, showing a slightly solemn look, Hal stared at the flames on the fireplace beside him with some anger.

At this time, in the fireplace of the castle, a rose-like red flame burned in the wood, and a small blue tongue of fire danced.

In front of the fireplace was carved an intricate magic circle, in which a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old fainted.

"Cassifer, come out, what the hell is going on?" Howl's voice was a little cold, questioning, speaking into the flame.

I saw that the flames on the fireplace shook slightly, and something slowly seeped out of the firewood, and gradually formed a face, a pair of small eyes composed of flames, a long and big mouth, and a pair of slender arms composed of flames, which looked like a cute flame spirit with a baby face, this is Cassifer, the son of the meteor who has concluded a symbiotic contract with Hal, the fire demon, Cassifer!

"Hal, it's none of my business, this is Maruk's decision, he knows that you are fighting every day to stop the war, it is very dangerous, he wants to help you, so he found this 'Otherworldly Dimension Life Summoning Contract Magic Array' from the magic book, and wants to conclude a contract with an unknown powerful existence to obtain more powerful magical power to help you."

"Cassifer, Maruk is not yet fourteen years old, too young, how can you let him do such a thing, won't you stop him?"

"Hal, didn't you also make a pact with me when you were a teenager? Maruk is just learning from you...... And I stopped it, when he activated the magic array, I used a trace of magic power to interfere with the operation of the alien dimension summoning part of the magic array, which would have rendered this magic array ineffective, and Maruk would only lose a little mental power at most. However, it just so happened that an extraterrestrial meteor flew in, with a very, very powerful spatial force, which just reacted with the intense resonance of the magic array that was about to fail, and instantly broke through the castle's defensive magic, and I could feel an unknown existence of another dimension entering Maluk's body......"
