Chapter 278: Fifty Years
However, for Char, these are the things of the young people, and for him, he only needs to be a spectator, a witness.
He silently picked up a cocktail on one side and took a sip, and the door of the tavern was opened on one side, and a familiar figure walked in, saw Char at a glance and sat down across from him.
He was dirty, smelling like a street bum, and his hair was scattered over his shoulders.
This is Galant, the West Farnesian that Char gave to immortal.
Today is almost fifty years since Char agreed with him, but a few years later.
"You're late." Char said.
Gallant smiled bitterly, "You see I'm like this now, I can't even afford a ferry ticket, how can I get there so quickly." ”
Char's eyes were a little interested, "But I remember, you mixed well with the Kaiser, didn't you?" ”
"Until then, is there water here?" Gallant said with a dry mouth.
Char raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and soon after, a waiter came over, wearing a small suit and a tie around his neck, looking very young, only a teenager.
"What do you need, sir?"
"Bring me a soda." Char said.
"Okay." The waiter bowed his head in response.
Soon, a glass of soda was delivered, and Gallant licked his parched tongue, quickly picked up the soda in front of him and poured it into it, finally giving a heavy burp.
He looked at the empty bottle in his hand and said happily, "It's still your water here that is strong to drink." ”
Then, he looked around again, "Speaking of which, you've really changed a lot here." ”
As the population of the wizarding world grew, many magicians would stop by the legendary magician Merlin for a drink of butterbeer.
It would be better if you could meet Merlin.
At first, there were not many people in the wizarding world, but as the number of people in the wizarding world increased, it was natural that the interior of the tavern could not accommodate so many needs.
So Char expanded the tavern again, such as adding a second floor, and then recruited a few more waiters, most of whom were Hogwarts students, who came here to do odd jobs in their spare time to earn tuition.
At the same time, Char also limited the flow of people recruited, and the number of people entering each place was fixed, and the entrance would be disconnected from the space after reaching this number.
"Can you tell me about your experience over the past few decades?" Char asked curiously.
Gallant sighed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "After parting with you, I went back to Germany with Simon and reported some of what I had seen in Egypt to the Kaiser.
The Kaiser was very happy and provided me with an environment to study alchemy, giving me a lot of money.
It was the happiest time I ever had, I was able to live in the palace, I had a lot of possessions at my disposal, and I had a beautiful wife and a son.
But it didn't last long, and my alchemical research was fruitless, but it cost a lot of money.
As the Kaiser grew older, so did his patience.
The fact that my face remained unchanged made him even more irritable.
Later, I don't know who told the Kaiser that eating my flesh might have the possibility of immortality.
The Kaiser believed in this offer and was ready to attack me, but fortunately I learned of it early and fled with my wife and children overnight.
But unfortunately, my wife contracted the epidemic on the way, and my son was also infected, so he left not long after.
I hid all over Europe, survived in the mountains and forests, begged for food on the streets, and the Kaiser pursued me for thousands of kilometers until the Kaiser's death. ”
He said with palpitations, "The allure of immortality is really too great. ”
Char shrugged his shoulders, he was not surprised by this, this was almost a visible future.
He silently shook the wine glass in his hand, "So, do you want to give up immortality?" ”
"How so?" Gallant raised an eyebrow, "What so many people crave, I have obtained, why give it up?" ”
"When I was a child, my father got a decent job, but he had to move away from home, and at that time, I lost all my friends.
From then on, I understood that if you want to gain something, you have to lose something. Gallant said.
"I've seen too much death and aging over the years, and that's the most horrible thing I've ever seen in my life."
Deep in his eyes was the fear of what was in his mouth.
The corners of Char's mouth lifted slightly, but she didn't say anything, "Where are you going to go in the future?" ”
"Go to a place a little farther away, I heard that Britannia is not bad now." Gallant pulled out a ribbon of hair from his sleeve, "My wife. Loved it there and I'm going to take her to see it. ”
"I can give you a ride." Char said, "Go out through the door you came in, and you will reach Britannia."
Or. Is there anything else you didn't bring? ”
"I've got all the most important stuff with me." Gallant said, "After years on the run, I always have to develop these habits. ”
He slowly got up and saluted Char, "See you in fifty years, sir." ”
"See you in fifty years." Char bowed.
Gallant drank the soda from his cup and pushed the door open, revealing the streets of Britannia's capital instead of the narrow lanes of Provence.
Not long after the rebellion in the imperial capital ended, there was still a faint smell of gunsmoke and blood in the air, he frowned slightly, but still walked out.
With the sound of wind chimes from the closing of the gate, Char's position was quiet again.
He quietly stared at the empty seat in front of him, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
"It looks like I'm going to have a better chance of winning this bet."
A voice came from nowhere.
"It's only the first fifty years, and it's very early."
In front of him, where Gallant was sitting just now, Seymler, who was wearing a crisp black suit, slowly appeared.
With his hands crossed over his chest, he crossed his legs and looked out of the window on one side at the streets of the imperial capital, looking at Gallant who was drifting away.
Gallant's clothes were dirty, especially his back was full of holes, and his hair was messy, but his wife's hair was carefully tucked into his pockets.
"There are already many scars on his heart, how many ups and downs can his life endure, and how many partings can he withstand?"
"The human heart can be more fragile than anyone thinks, but it can also be stronger than anyone thinks." Char said.
After a pause, he asked curiously.
"I haven't seen you in a long time, what have you been doing all this time?
Speaking of which, you seem to be a little younger. ”
Now the beard and wrinkles on Semmele's face are gone, and he used to look like a middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties, but now he looks like he is in his thirties.
"I'm looking into something." He said, "But it's not convenient to say."
"Oh," Char's eyes were a little interested.
"I think you should be aware, though." He said.
Char didn't say anything, just tapped his fingers quietly on the table, as if thinking about something.
Semmele, on the other hand, picked up the newspaper Char had placed on his side and read it, raising his eyebrows.
"This Gaiward is the gloomy-looking kid who was one of the first to enroll, right?
Have they all become some Dark Lord now?
It seems that there is a lot of commotion.
Will you interfere? ”
"Leave the child's affairs to the child to solve." Char said quietly.
…………
……
…
Leaving the tavern, Char returned to the castle's hall.
He walked straight to the balcony, the castle was still docked on the top of Wugong Mountain, and it took a lot of magic to maintain the castle's invisibility state, which was a burden for Cassifer.
So if you want to be more comfortable, it's best to park in a deserted place.
Alicia sat in the cradle, also reading the newspaper, frowning slightly.
"Why is your expression so serious?" Char teased.
"What do you think the kid will do next?" Alicia muttered softly.
"If he wants to fulfill his ambitions, he must defeat Abs." Char's eyes flickered, "But he can't do anything to Abs." ”
"There aren't many people or things in this world who can defeat Abs."
"It's not much, but what if it's something outside of the world?"
Alicia jerked her head up and looked at Char.
He heard Char talk about the world outside the human world, and the things in it, no matter what comes out, are definitely a disaster within a disaster for the human world.
"His subordinates have been in contact with the people of Hades all these years." Char said, "Or rather, that's what he was doing all the years he spent in his cell.
Of course, his main purpose was to deal with Arthur, but now that Arthur is dead, Ebb and Mordred will be his hindrance. ”
"How could he possibly get something out of Hades? The Great Grim Reaper won't allow it. Alicia said.
Char shrugged, "Even the Great Grim Reaper can't monitor the entire Hades, where it can't be seen, where it can't be reached."
Alicia has a good memory, and her mind is reminded of the events of the Headless Horseman decades ago before she found the land of the elves.
Although Alicia did not personally witness what happened at that time, the head of the Headless Horsemann is still idle in the vault under the castle.
Alicia also learned a concept at that time, there are some special nodes between the underworld and the present world, which can directly connect the human world and the underworld.
If Char hadn't been for Char, there might have been a lot of monsters escaping from Hades.
So, if you borrow this node, and there is a god of death in it, it is really uncertain (end of this chapter)
