CHAPTER XXXVII
Ha! Ha~! Harry gasped for breath, his chest heaved violently, cold sweat on his forehead, his hands still clutching his head, his face pale, his dark pupils full of fear.
Although this memory was displayed in Harry's mind in the form of recollection, the feeling of pain appeared, and the surge of pain flooded Harry's mind for a moment, and in just one minute, it made Harry's life worse than death, and he almost wanted to die, ending this pain as soon as possible.
He remembered, Harry finally remembered, the lost memory, the most painful and painful moment, the figure that comforted him, and the memory that had been falsified.
After a long time, Harry, who had been on his knees and relieved, staggered to his feet, but suddenly felt weak in his limbs, dizzy in his head, as if he had been drained of his strength, and he could not stand steadily.
Harry, who gradually calmed down, settled down, came to the creek and squatted down and took a sip of some water with both hands, quenching the thirst in his throat, and quietly revealing some doubts in his heart, why his body was greatly improved after that time, why there were demons in his body, and the most important teacher Isabet was also missing, presumably these must have something to do with the old witch.
What exactly am I going to do? By this time, Harry had taken off his coat and tied his empty lower body, standing on the bank of the river, watching the reflection on the river.
"What else can you do, how do you lie to your master now, how to deceive the past, they must still be looking for you now, it's only a matter of time before they find you." A lazy voice sounded in my head.
"Do you know something about this old witch?" Harry heard the voice in his head and suddenly thought that since he was the demon in his own body, he should also know something about the old witch.
"I don't know, I just woke up that time." The voice answered succinctly and clearly.
Receiving the answer from the demon in his body, Harry had fallen to the bottom with a hint of anticipation, he was now thinking about how to find Teacher Isabet, her situation might be very dangerous, he was very worried about her, and he definitely wanted to save her.
At that time, she was lonely and helpless to endure the torture, it was Isabeth who had been comforting Harry in her heart, and for herself, she exchanged with her soul and endured that painful torture for herself, everything she did for herself, Harry saw it, and at that time he had already regarded Isabet as an important companion.
Now that she is missing, it must be because of her own reasons, and if she is not found, her conscience will definitely be condemned.
"You don't have to be discouraged, your master hasn't been tracking her, as long as you can follow them, sooner or later you can find her and rescue your teacher Isabet, of course, you should consider what I said before now, and it will be useful to avoid this difficulty." The voice sounded again, a little encouraging Harry not to be discouraged, of course, his encouragement was still very effective, Harry heard it, and his spirit was suddenly shocked and he had hope.
Indeed, isn't Master Festeria's first task to find the old witch, as long as he can stay by Miss Festeria's side, it is only a matter of time before he finds her.
But before that, how to fool the past is the main consideration, Teacher Festeria was supposed to send me to the imperial capital to check to find out if I was the old witch's test subject.
In this way, according to those memories just now, the guy who controlled my body avoided the master's attack and escaped here using teleportation magic, and he is in a very dangerous situation now, and everyone must be busy looking for me, worried that I am the so-called test subject, and may add swords to me.
After Harry was relieved of his confusion and hesitation, his mind calmed down and he began to think about the problem at hand.
In that case, the first thing I should do is how to dispel their concerns and dispel their vigilance against me, so how do I do it? …… Harry was lost in thought.
At this time, Harry's body also sounded Harry's inaudible self-talk, "Hehe, it seems that it is quite worthwhile to liberate the memory of his deep seal for this little guy, he is still quite smart, it seems that he is not a stupid person, and it is okay, it has relieved me of the task of worrying about it, but I am curious, I am not one of the plans of some guy to come to this guy's body, but I am not something he can control, things are getting interesting..."
………………………………………… Dividing line ............................................................
The woods were dark and quiet, and the light of the burning torches illuminated the woods, and the men in delicate silver armor and white cloaks walked through the woods with burning torches and sharp weapons in their hands, stepping on the lush weeds and scaring away the nocturnal animals.
A slender figure in a heroic white cloak followed behind these knights, long fiery red hair scattered behind him, and a pretty face was expressionless.
Suddenly, there was a sound of something running behind him, it was the kind of small sound of stepping on a branch and breaking, Festeria looked at it, quickly pulled out her sword and swung it back, turned around, raised it under the person's neck and said slowly, "Who are you?" ”
"Sword Master, spare your life! I, I, I'm the Resident Knight of the Marquis of Lauren, and I'm here to report to you. The knight raised his hands, looked at the thin sword that emitted a cold light next to his neck, swallowed his saliva in a cold sweat, and said in a panic.
Festria put away her sword and said to him, "Any news?" ”
"Lord Marquis said they have caught the monster you mentioned, please go and take a look." The knight didn't dare to look at Festria, and lowered his head and said.
"What?!" Festria was stunned, and didn't react at once.
Ten minutes later......
"My dear Festeria, you are at last, and you are still so beautiful." A handsome-looking, short-haired young man in his twenties, dressed in gorgeous aristocratic costumes, walked forward and said with a smile like a spring breeze.
"Marquis Lauren, where is that monster, take me to see it quickly." Festeria looked at him indifferently and said, riding her horse to a stop in front of what looked like a prison gate.
"Oh, don't worry, beautiful Festria, we can drink first..."Before the yellow-haired young man could finish speaking, he was trampled in the face with a boot by Festria, who had already come over on horseback.
"You hurry up and take me there, what are you doing with such nonsense, do you want to die!" Festeria said as she rubbed her shoes fiercely.
The yellow-haired young man didn't care about Festria's rude behavior, calmly took the white silk scarf handed by the old butler beside him, wiped his face, and then returned it to the old butler, continued to put on a smiling face and said helplessly, "Oh, you're still the same, in that case, let's go in first." ”
Behind me, the knights who followed Festeria all looked like I knew, this guy, Marquis Lauren is one of the sons of Duke Staya, is Festria's childhood sweetheart, and is also a crazy suitor, taking Festeria's masochism as his hobby, which makes Festeria afraid of him, so it's not bad if you don't cut him with a sword when you see him, and kicking him with a foot is quite light.
Things go back an hour before Harry's disappearance......
"That's the thing, please report it to the knights in the nearby garrison and the town's garrison immediately, let them be on alert, and report to us as soon as they see this child, understand?" Kalia pulled out a piece of paper with Harry's portrait on it and placed it on her desk.
"I understand, I understand, I'll do it." The man in the chair scrambled out of his chair and left the office with the piece of paper with Harry's portrait on it.
This is the garrison of the nearest town in the annex, which was set up to maintain law and order in the town.
Kalia broke in with a diamond-shaped badge with three swords crossed together, and none of the guards dared to stop her, but respectfully led her to the captain's office.
Just kidding, this badge represents one of the three famous knights of the empire, the Knights of the Guardian Guard, the Guardian Knights, everyone is a person who has seen the world, and this is still so close to the imperial capital, who doesn't know this famous knight order.
These garrisons in the middle of the town are connected by a magic device that looks like a crystal ball, and the crystal ball of contact is also divided into two types, one can speak directly to the other person holding the crystal ball opposite, without delay. The other is similar, except that it can be called to several other crystal balls at the same time to achieve an important tool for transmitting orders and intelligence, and this one is mainly used in garrisons and knight stations.
At night, the manor was very lively, and at the invitation of the Marquis of Lauren, countless ladies and men gathered together to raise glasses and drinks, talk and laugh, and have a great time.
"Master Lauren, something happened!" Suddenly, a hurried voice reached the ears of the handsome yellow-haired young man who was surrounded by the girls in evening dresses, and he stopped talking to the girls apologetically, and walked to the old butler who was shouting to him with the goblet in his hand.
"What's wrong?" The yellow-haired young man said after drinking a little wine from his glass without paying attention.
"Mistress Festria's back, she now asks us to search the neighborhood and find this little boy, saying that he is dangerous and that we should be careful." The gray-haired old butler handed the paper in his hand to the yellow-haired young man.
"What do you say?! Festria is back! Okay, without further ado, let's get out and find this little kid. As soon as the yellow-haired young man heard Festeria, the wine glass in his excited hand was about to fall to the ground, he looked at the portrait in his hand, and excitedly took the old butler's hand and said.
"Young Master, but what about the party?" The old butler said worriedly.
"Well, by the way, didn't there be a circus in the city a few days ago, you call someone to invite those circus guys over and let them perform, so they won't get bored." Lauren thought for a moment and said.
"Well, well, I see." The old butler sighed, and said with an expression that I knew, every time there is something about Master Festeria, no matter what, the young master will rush over to help.
In this way, after Lauren had finished his order, he left in a hurry with the old butler.
Outside the dimly lit city, the moon was obscured by clouds, the earth was gray, and a group of majestic knights with torches followed a yellow-haired young man on horseback on the avenue outside the city.
"Young master, why don't we go back, Master Festeria said that the child she is looking for is very dangerous, it may be an experimental subject made by those evil witches, and besides, we don't have to come out to look for it, just wait for them to report inside, don't risk your life." The old butler who was riding a horse on the side said worriedly.
"It's okay, you're so worried, maybe we'll run into him later, and if I arrest him myself, maybe Festria will be impressed with me at once." Lauren raised his fist and clenched it in front of his chest, and said confidently.
At this moment, a short figure appeared at the end of the road, and I couldn't see what the person looked like, only the outline of a person could be vaguely seen.
"Lord Lauren, you step down first, and leave it to us here." A knight rushed to Lauren's front and said in front of him, and the knights behind him quickly followed, keeping Lauren and the old butler firmly in the center.
"The people in front! Stop it!! The leading knight raised his sword and said loudly to the approaching figure.
The figure also obediently stopped, raised his hands and froze in place.
And at this time, the moon was also revealed, and Lauren also saw the appearance of that person clearly, the upper body was wearing thin clothes, the lower body was surrounded by a coat, and the strange black-haired little boy who was not wearing shoes suddenly felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it there, and hurriedly asked the old butler for the paper with the portrait on it, and looked at it seriously, compared it, the similarity was 99%, isn't this the child that Festeria is looking for?!
"That's right, it's him, it's this little guy, the person Festeria is looking for!" Lauren pointed to the dark-haired boy and said excitedly.
It was the luck of the blind cat that he ran into a dead mouse, well, so they managed to get Harry and take him to a prison outside the city where he was holding prisoners.
"That's how it is, under my wise guidance, I caught him unscathed...", walking through the passage to the depths of the prison, Lauren said to himself as if he were commanding himself.
Festria walked indifferently and didn't speak, but she clenched her fists tightly as if she was about to lose any patience, this guy was really too bad.
Finally making their way through a heavily guarded metal door, Festeria and the others finally arrived at the cell where Harry was being held.
In the dimly lit cell, through the iron fence, Harry in the depths of the cell was firmly tied to a chair made of steel by an iron chain that exuded a black metallic luster, the whole person could not move, a small face was full of panic, seeing Festeria and their arrival, the little face turned into joy and joy, and shouted to Festeria, "Master!" ”
Festria stood outside the iron fence and looked at Harry with a blank face, stretched out her hand to signal the people behind her not to come in, Lauren helped her open the cell door and let her in, Lauren was also obedient at this time, standing outside waiting for her, he knew that she who made this expression was not allowed to be disturbed, and she was also the most charming.
Harry looked at Festria, who walked in with an expressionless face, and also noticed the difference in her, and looked at her quietly, without speaking, Festria stood in front of Harry, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became solemn.
Festeria drew her thin sword and pointed it at Harry's neck, the blade was only one step away from Harry's throat, and said lightly, "Are you a human now, or a monster?" ”
"Master, what are you talking about?! I'm Harry! Harry looked at the sword around his neck and said in astonishment.
But Festria paid no attention to Harry, the blade of the sword was getting closer and closer to Harry's throat, Harry could feel the chill emanating from the sword, and had the illusion that with a light touch, his own throat, no, the entire head would be cut off, and death was so close to him for the first time.
Harry closed his eyes as if in despair, waiting for the sword to pierce his throat.
But the imaginary pain did not come, but the head was caressed by a good-looking white gloved hand with a warm hand.
"Harry, it's great that you didn't turn into that monster." Festria's voice was relieved.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked curiously, looking like he didn't know what was going on.
"I've carefully examined your body with mental power, and you don't have that diseased evil aura on you, you're still the same you, I'm sorry, Harry." Festeria said apologetically, and with a swing of her sword, Harry's chains broke neatly and fell to the ground.
Festria pinched Harry's face and said viciously, "You kid knows how much trouble you've caused me, and you don't know how much trouble you've caused us." ”
"Yes, I'm sorry." Harry mumbled.
