Chapter 10: The Sorting Hat
Sissel was silent for a moment, and then asked:
"Seals? Do you know the codename? ”
A hint of grief and indignation flashed in Flice's eyes, and she immediately replied:
"Know! It's '2-014'! The night watchman seems to call it the 'Hat of Knowledge'! ”
Sissel thought about it again, closed his eyes tightly and activated the "guidance", but he couldn't find the track.
Not detailed enough, more conditions are needed...... He looked at Foxie and said:
"Please describe its appearance, characteristics, and abilities in detail."
"It has the appearance of a patched cap with sharp horns, is self-aware, and loves to nag, but listening to its voice will be eroded after a long time! It can instill knowledge in others, and I don't know about the rest......"
Flosis's voice became lower and lower, and she felt a little lost in her heart, knowing that her benefactor was trying to help her, but she couldn't even tell her benefactor the information......
Sissel nodded, saw through Foxie's thoughts at a glance, and said with a soothing smile:
"Okay, it should be fine."
He closed his eyes filled with infinite energy, and a starry avenue spread out in the darkness, surrounded by stars, "directing" Sissel to "2-014".
It was indeed a dusty hat, but it was very quiet, not at all as talkative as Fluffie had said.
However, Sissel really couldn't imagine how he usually spoke, could it be a grin? Or is it out of thin air?
Sissel's mind moved, and he began to "exchange" information with "2-014".
Then he "doesn't know" his own information, so that the "exchange" is one-sided.
"Isn't it made of extraordinary characteristics? The product of an 'Emperor of Knowledge'...... The name is ...... Sorting hats? ”
"Oh, interesting."
……
In a dark, silent space, "2-014", or the Sorting Hat, suddenly felt like someone was peeping at it overhead.
But the tape that stuck to it was so tight that it couldn't look up, and could only curse in a low voice to those on watch:
"Oh, may their brains be eaten by the living corpses soon! Or fall into the sewer and get your ass kicked hard by a rat! Didn't I just break free once, as for using such a strict sealing method...... Really, can there be more trust between people and hats...... Ahhhh......h
Although it couldn't raise its head, and it didn't know which one was above, the complaint in its heart couldn't help but say:
"Alas, don't look at me all the time, I'll be shy, even though I'm just a hat, but I still have this emotion...... Alas! Don't leave yet, talk to me for a while! I'm sick when I stay here! ”
It rambled on a whole bunch of things, but Sissel stayed with interest, and even tried to talk to it:
"Hello, Mr. Sorting Hat."
"Huh?! Do you know me, you're the only one who's called my name in all these years! Hey, do you know me? Hey, if you don't know me, you should know Russell Gustaf, right? ”
After the Sorting Hat finished speaking, it laughed inexplicably, as if it had just heard some funny joke, and it laughed for a long time before it regained its breath and said:
"I am a miraculous object of His creation."
Sissel also chuckled, changed his words, and said:
"Are you having a hard time here? It's so dirty, won't they bathe you? ”
"Of course! I'm telling you, not only did they not give me a bath, but they even thought the seals didn't need to eat, so they kept me hungry all day! OMG! They're just abusing the seal! I'm going to sue! I'm going to sue! Get a lawyer! ”
The Sorting Hat shouted loudly, but its loud voice didn't bother the outside, and Sissell glanced to the side, only to realize that there was a soundproof barrier next to it.
No wonder it wasn't noisy before, it turned out to be because of this...... Sissel had already figured out the nature of the Sorting Hat, and then added:
"I can get you out."
The Sorting Hat shook and a lot of ash fell from its body and floated in the air, and I have to say that this question was too tempting for it.
When Sissel saw that it was silent, he felt that there was a play, and said in a light tone:
"You can also see that I can easily break through the seal here, so you don't have to worry, I can't fulfill this promise."
"What...... I agree! Even though I'm only a 'Level 2' seal, I'm pretty strong! I know astronomy, geography, almost anything! ”
With that, the Sorting Hat struggled to recall, and said in an uncertain tone:
"Dad, Dad?"
Sissel heard the familiar Chinese and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Good guys, really good guys. It seems that the knowledge that Russell instilled in it is not normal.
Tsk, I don't know if there's a witch taste.
"Well, I'll get you out when I'm free."
……
Once Sissel and the Sorting Hat had agreed, the "guidance" ended, and the starry avenue faded like a tide, turning dark again before his eyes.
Fluse sat quietly beside her, letting her emerald hair fall down in front of her emerald eyes.
"Fluffie, do you have any dreams?"
Sissel opened his eyes and looked at Foxie and asked suddenly.
Foxie said "ah", didn't react for a while, a trace of crimson appeared on her face, and she said hesitantly:
"I, I want to save my kind, the mermaids......"
"So what are you going to do?"
"I've decided to be extraordinary!"
Hearing this answer, Sissel's expression softened, and he asked in the same tone:
"So which path do you want to be? I can help you rise to a demigod. ”
Fluffie was stunned, obviously the "demigod" stage was still too high for her now.
Seeing that she did not respond, Sissel read her heart, smiled, and asked:
"Do you want to be the extraordinary of my path?"
He decided to train another extraordinary person of the "unknown" path.
After all...... Flosie Mamett was different from the others, Sissel saw something in her.
But speaking of which, if it weren't for the extraordinary properties of his path that could only be obtained from him, he would have started preaching a long time ago.
Well, maybe a little bit more because he's lazy......
Faced with Sissel's question, Foxie was very flustered, but she couldn't help but look forward to it.
How did Mr. Sissel suddenly ...... But what if, too, could I be like Mr. Sissel...... No, no! Foxie Mamet! Don't think too high! I just want to save them...... That's it......
Mr. Sissel, what a great man......
Fluffie took a deep breath and made the best decision of her life-
"I do, sir!"
