Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1936: Fate and no points
Hailbo has never forgotten her.
Even if he and her have no relationship between master and apprentice, let alone other fate; even if he and she... seem to have only seen two sides from beginning to end.
But for more than two thousand years, Helbo still couldn't forget her.
The staff she gave to him has long since been lost, and the note she left behind has long since turned into nothingness.
"If you can use it to cast a magic someday, come to me, then I may be reluctant to accept you as an apprentice."
This is a paragraph of text handwritten by Kernxin at that time.
In order to complete this agreement, Haierbo, who was actually not outstanding at the time, spent a lot of time and energy. However, when he finally walked in front of her after all the hardships, the other party no longer knew him.
Yes, when the two met again after a few decades, Kern no longer "knew" Helbo.
Be aware that Kern is a witch and an extremely powerful genius. If she has a bad memory, how can she achieve that kind of achievement?
If a wizard forgets something, it undoubtedly means that the memory of that thing has been completely erased in some accident.
From now on, Helbo still remembers that night—it was the second time he had spoken face to face with Kern. And at the same time, it was the last time.
……
It has been five years since the magic war against the goddess of death ended.
In the past five years, the central area of the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt, which was originally the main battlefield, has remained desolate and ruined due to violent and protracted warfare.
Sands and gravels were swept up in an abnormal storm, and they were rampant on this endless wasteland. The power remaining due to many powerful magics has made the grass invisible and the birds extinct.
The conquest coalition composed of many wizards and magical creatures withdrew all of them back to the Greek territory four years ago, and only Helbo remained in this harsh environment.
He is waiting silently... hoping that the witch who somehow disappeared at the end of the war will reappear in front of him and fulfill the unfinished promise of the year.
So, Haierbo lived in the ruins of the original royal city for five years.
In addition to doing magic research every day, he spends most of the rest of his time in this nearby area, stopping to look out, or wandering around.
In the early morning, he ran around looking for every trace of Kern's disappearance; in the evening, he climbed the last remaining section of the city wall and was dazed by the yellow sand and gust of wind.
Perhaps Helbo, two thousand years later, actually doesn't quite understand why he did such a stupid thing back then. But at that time Helbo knew very well that his ideal was in the witch Kern.
Okay!
Speaking of it, it may also be that destiny itself wants to give him an answer that is persistently waiting. After five years of waiting, on a certain night when the sandstorm subsided slightly, an abnormal magic wave suddenly appeared in the ruins of the royal city, which instantly attracted Haierbo's attention.
Under the clearer moonlight than usual, he followed the source of the magical fluctuations all the way to search, and finally saw a strange black shadow among the ruins of a broken wall with a strange depression.
That is a shadow that is difficult to explain in words, as if it is a phenomenon that does not belong to this world, and Haierbo dared not approach it at will for a time.
However, besides Na Kern, who else would create such a mysterious and unknown magic phenomenon in this place?
Hailbo didn't think about it... Although he didn't dare to approach, he didn't want to retreat. Even if he could clearly feel the great danger from the phantom, he was still reluctant to leave.
So, after a few minutes, he finally saw another familiar figure stepping out of the inexplicable phantom.
"Tap."
The sound of the soles of the shoes touching the hard ground is particularly clear in the quiet environment tonight because there is not much storm. And when the graceful figure that had been feared by countless people was finally fully revealed under the moonlight, the phantom shrank silently into one point and disappeared into Haierbo's vision.
"...Kern...Miss."
God knows how hard Helbo took to squeeze this out of his throat, so that the tone became a little strange, containing many complex and subtle emotions.
After hearing Helbo's soft call, he just stood on the side of the sunken clearing and faced him. After appearing, he kept silent and gradually turned around.
"K, Miss Kern?"
At that moment, Helbo didn't even understand what he saw!
The side of the body facing him was still as graceful as five years ago. Even though she was cruel, powerful, crazy, and terrifying, she still gained the name of "goddess".
But the other half of the body is pitch black, possessing the flesh that can only be possessed by the fiercest and strongest beast. That half of the face was terribly hideous, and the blood-colored eyes released a faint red glow, which could not even be covered by the bright moonlight.
Of course, perhaps the most important thing is that her physical fitness is constantly rising, and the magical power fluctuates. The overwhelming power makes Helbo almost out of breath.
And in the next moment, the witch Kern, who is neither human nor ghost, finally spoke.
"Who... are you?"
It was like the special voices of a man and a woman overlapping each other, which immediately made Haierbo's scalp numb~IndoMTL.com~ got a layer of goose bumps on her body.
"I...I am your student, Miss Kern...I finally waited for you! Do you...Don't remember me?"
Perhaps it is because of Kern's long-term obsession with Kern that made Haierbo suddenly put aside the fear in his heart. Seeing him hurriedly took out from his pocket the note that he was still carefully storing decades ago, and let it go to the direction where Kern was standing.
However, Kern didn't even reach out to pick it up. Hearbo saw that she just glanced at it casually, and a black flame ignited on the piece of paper immediately, and it was swallowed up directly.
"I don't know you." Kern's dull voice sounded again, and it pierced into Helbo's heart, "Stay away from me, or you will end up with that boring piece of paper. The same."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kern never went to see Helbo again, turned around and walked towards the barren sand dunes outside the ruins. Helbo originally wanted to chase, but his two legs seemed to have rooted on the ground, and he couldn't lift them up.
Until a moment later, Kern disappeared at the end of the horizon.
