"You've seen it. Devine was rarely serious, her eyes solemn, "Just eight years ago, on the periphery of the deep sandforest. ”

Memories don't disappear, they just sleep in the depths of your mind, and you can easily unlock the clues of the seal with just a key to your memory.

Devine's reminder is the key to this.

Hodge suddenly remembered, indeed, he had seen the same thing outside the deep sand forest at that time, when such a red crystal was placed outside the deep sand forest by the Kirk family, and then ......

"I remembered. He took a deep breath and looked into Daphne's eyes, "At that time, you ran out of the deep sand forest in order to snatch this crystal, if it weren't for that, those magicians wouldn't have been able to do anything with you, they were no match for you in the forest." ”

"Yes, I ran out because I was really angry. Devany tilted her face sideways, not showing any anger, but clearly gloomy, "It belongs to a friend of mine, a very good friend, so I don't want this thing to fall into the hands of those vile magicians." ”

"What the hell is this?"

"We call it the Source of Life, and it is precisely because of its existence that we wizards can gain abilities, and magicians call it the Heavenly Stone, which is of great help to the perception of magic and the reconstruction of alchemy, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it may only be the most essential thing. ”

Devine's next words made the fireplace shake.

"It's the female organ – the uterus. ”

Hodge gripped the armrest of the wooden chair, and suddenly felt that the rough armrest surface seemed to lose friction and become extremely smooth, and he was about to lose his grip on the armrest and slide from the chair to the ground.

Ridiculous, even though there are many unreasonable things in this world, but hearing such a statement still shocked Hodge.

Human organs have become a source of mysterious power?

Devany reacted to him in surprise: "It's a secret that only a few people know, and even ordinary magicians don't really understand why, now you understand why only women can become wizards and lose the ability to have children." From the moment we become wizards, our wombs become what you see. ”

She had a complicated expression, unable to read whether it was grief or joy.

"It's a gift from the gods, it gives us the power to transcend mortals, but it's also a curse, and it's a curse, and it's coveted and attracts the eyes of wolves, and magicians and alchemists want to get it, so they can refine their skills, and the royal family wants it, because it attracts the best magicians to serve, and merchants are no exception, and the value of such a unique commodity is self-evident, even a small piece is enough to sell for an astonishing price. ”

"Price—" Daphne's voice came to an abrupt end, and laughter rang out, "what an irony, because we have such value, we are no longer treated as people, but as commodities, but commodities need to be bought, and no witch will be willing to sell them, so what then?"

"Humans are always surprisingly intelligent at times like these. ”

Speaking of the word smart, Daphne had already gritted her teeth: "Since you can't buy it, then grab it, just grab it, but human beings are hypocritical, and they don't want to be blamed for robbing at the same time, so— Witches have become evil beings, and have become the prey of everyone, even the little witch who has never been stained with blood and has just awakened from her sleep has been arrested in the name of evil, killed, and taken away the red crystal in her body, but the butcher who is stained with the blood of innocents laughs loudly, and even takes the name of justice, and is sought after by everyone and the supreme glory, how glamorous. ”

Devine's voice became unusually low and harsh.

"I want to kill them right away. ”

Hodge was silent and didn't say a word.

This conversation deepened his understanding of the wizards of this world, but the truth was so cruel and unbearably heavy that it was hard to be happy.

"Whew. Devine sat back in her chair and let out a long sigh of relief, clearing her boredom and returning to the way she had when we first met, "Sorry, a bit of a gaffe." ”

“...... Never mind. Hodge spoke with a little difficulty, and only then did he realize that his voice had inadvertently become dry and hoarse, and he almost wondered if it was his own voice when he said this.

"Sure enough, you're different. Devine looked at him with relief and said slowly, "This is also the answer to the second question, why did I come to see you?"

"Because I sensed that a spiritual shackle that had been set up by me in your body was loosening. ”

"Hodge, do you feel it too? Devany leaned forward, the yellow light of the flames on the side reflected in her royal blue pupils, "You and we are the same kind. ”

"You're a wizard too. ”

Hodge felt a huge wave in his heart, it turned out that the shackles in his mind that imprisoned half of his mental power were set by this witch, when did it happen? He didn't remember having contact with her after escaping from the deep sandy forest.

And most importantly, she discovers her secret!

This made him feel extremely uneasy, and he needed a sense of security, so he subconsciously bent down slightly and touched the boot on his right foot, where there was an old friend who had been with him for many years, and he always felt at ease.

"Is it the same knife from before? I still have some impression that you still have him, and it is not surprising that I saw a small piece of the hilt exposed. ”

Devany smiled and shook her head at him: "Trust me, whether I come here or set up a mental shackle for you, there is no malice, not to mention that even if you have this knife in your hand, you can't pose any threat to me, you're a smart kid, right?"

Hodge straightened his back silently, stopped trying to take out his weapon, and asked Daphne, "Two questions, when, and why." ”

"I don't hate children who ask questions, but don't just ask vague questions like "why" every time, I can understand it, but others don't. ”

Devany said: "You must have doubts, we haven't met after the deep sand forest, so how did this shackle be set, in fact, we have met for the second time, but not in reality, at that time you had run too far, I couldn't move super long distances, but in the spirit world there is no concept of distance, remember when you were about to die, what appeared in your mind?"

Hodge easily recalled this memory when he threw out the Inspiration Decision, and then a flood of information rushed into his brain, almost destroying his consciousness, and it was at this moment that Daphne appeared in his mind.

"Isn't that a hallucination?"

"No, at that time, I sensed that a companion was awakening in the distance, and it was not an ordinary awakening in terms of the clarity of perception, so I used my mental power to connect with the other party, but I really didn't expect it to be you, you know, I have never heard of a male wizard awakening, if it weren't for the fact that I was not at the scene, I would have liked to see your pants...... Cough. ”

Daphne realized that something was wrong and stopped the topic in time: "Then I found out that your spiritual power is too strong, in the awakening, the strength of the spiritual power is a good thing, which means that the ability will be improved, but there is a limit to this, beyond this limit it is difficult to bear, and it is not strange to die even in the awakening, I have no choice but to set a lock in your mind, seal half of the spiritual power, and forcibly suspend this awakening." ”

"I haven't looked for you since then, because with your condition at the time, it will take a long time to grow up before it is possible to withstand the test of the spiritual world in your awakening. And the other day, I noticed that the shackles that had been cast on you had loosened, and in terms of feedback, I couldn't do any harm to you, so I came. ”

Devany looked him in the eye, "Come and help you and become a true wizard." ”
