Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1323: B.C.
Thinking that back then, the era when Helbo hadn't been called "despicable" was the period in the late BC when ancient Greece turned from its apogee to a split.
At that time, Helbo was just a very ordinary young man...Yes, at least from the outside, it was indeed quite ordinary.
He has three-dimensional facial features that are quite common in Greeks, because he was born in ordinary daily work, and his physique is also called strong. But before he first came into contact with magical culture, his impression was basically limited to mediocrity.
Yes, even when he is not working on weekdays, he occasionally gives birth to some wicked thoughts. But under the magnificent and magnificent background of the time, his sense of existence, who was born as a marketer, was as unremarkable as a firefly.
It's just that, as his ordinary life continues slowly day after day, Helbo, who has not even imagined his own future, finally meets the person who changed his life.
That was a wizard, a true wizard who was extremely mysterious but extremely powerful in the eyes of ordinary people at the time!
Don’t look at that era called "the heyday of ancient magic" by today’s historians. Because the magic at that time had extremely demanding requirements for users, there were actually very few people who could become wizards. .
Not to mention wizards, even those who are accepted as apprentices by wizards are often talented people out of a million. Even those wizard apprentices with excellent talents may not be able to become wizards.
It can be seen how rare a real wizard is.
I remember that at that time, it was Helbo who had done a whole day's work and planned to go to the broken tavern in the town to get a glass of the cheapest wine to enjoy the time before bed.
In that era, lighting at night was still a very extravagant behavior for ordinary people. Whenever it gets dark and cannot continue to work, thinking of long nights and long nights, it is also dark to get up early. Finding an inexpensive but relaxing place to spend time has become the most acceptable "nightlife" way for the general public.
But Helbo at the time did not expect that he unexpectedly discovered that a wizard was collecting apprentices that night.
At night that day approached, the local lord accompanied a wizard he had known in the big city to personally preside over the public selection of apprentices. When the young Haierbo saw that many families were dressed in sunset, the family sent older children to meet the wizards for the other side to choose carefully, and he immediately went over to see the excitement.
To be honest, his age has long been beyond the scope of wizards to choose. So at the beginning, he didn't think about what benefit he could get, he just squeezed in to see what the wizard he had never seen looked like.
By the way, it would be even better if the wizard could show one or two hands!
However, most of the civilians who held the mentality of "watching the bard doing business" like this, soon became silent one by one.
They didn't do this because they saw something extraordinary. On the contrary, the so-called "Master Wizard" looked like ordinary people at all.
And the reason why they are silent and speechless is entirely because before they know it, there is a sense of awe in everyone's heart.
"Is that... the wizard...?"
Haierbo pursed his mouth tightly, staring at the robed old man with both eyes for an instant, and his heart was gradually filled with fear.
For most of the night, even with his usual bludgeoning temperament, he didn't dare to express his breath from beginning to end. After the old wizard left the only square in the town, he walked home with a little soft feet.
For nearly half a month after that, the sentence "Is that a wizard?" lingered in Helbo's head.
After half a month, Haierbo became haggard because he was in a state of semi-absence day and night. He began to feel annoyed, why didn't he encounter wizards coming to town to select apprentices when he was a child?
Even that night, the old wizard did not choose even a suitable apprentice until the end, but becoming a wizard became Haierbo's only wish afterwards.
It's impossible to become a wizard at his age? No, Haierbo didn't want to think about this kind of thing at all. He just hoped that he could be closer to the wizard, even one step.
It’s so wonderful to be someone who can produce fear unconsciously!
So, this simple "ideal" derived from seeing a wizard for the first time became one of the foundations that laid his first step into the wizarding world.
After more than half a year, Haierbo, who had saved more travel expenses, finally decisively gave up the ordinary life of the past without a future. He packed up a few suitcases, and in order to save money, he set foot on the road to a nearby big city.
In those days, wizards and nobles were usually connected to some extent, and it was even possible that a certain lord was a wizard himself. And Helbo inquired that the lord of that big city was a real wizard.
In order to beg the other party to accept himself as an apprentice, he racked his brains to approach the other party and put forward his wish in person.
Unfortunately, the expected twists and turns appeared spontaneously. He was ruthlessly rejected by the city lord and wizard, and even because of entanglement in front of the city lord, he was ruthlessly expelled by several knights. city.
He spent that night in the wasteland on the side of the road. Because he didn't carry a tool to make a fire, he was blown by the cold wind all night, and his hands and feet were cold and unconscious.
When he was awake in the early hours of the morning, he finally met the first teacher in his life, the witch Kern who was dubbed the "Goddess of Death" by many dark wizards around the year.
Yes, that is what Haierbo once mentioned with Maca, the woman who once touched the "rule of death" and was rumored to set foot on the "frontier of life and death", but eventually became inhuman and ghost.
But when Helbo met her for the first time, she was a genius girl who had just become a wizard.
"Wake up?"
It was still dark at the time, and Helbo, who had just opened his eyes, was taken aback by the young girl squatting next to his head. But then he found that he couldn't move his whole person.
Is it frozen? No, he doesn't know, because he does feel very cold too. But other than that, the chill from the heart seems a bit familiar.
"Don't be afraid, this is just a very ordinary spiritual magic. I just studied it and I just learned it, and it happens to be practiced with you."
Kern, who is still a young girl, lowered his head, said casually, and patted Helbo on the cheek. Under the not-so-bright moonlight, Kern’s short black hair swayed in the night breeze, looking inexplicably free and easy.
Only at the first glance, she left a very deep impression on Helbo. This is a girl who doesn't care much about anything or anyone.
And...maybe also a wizard!
"Women, witch adults, me"
"Huh?"
Seeing the young man in front of him with trembling lips and making a difficult voice, Kern glanced at him again, and said:
"What's wrong?"
"...please...accept me as your apprentice..."
It wasn't yelling, or begging for mercy, and it wasn't to please the reaction Kern had seen in ordinary people in the past, but the young man in front of him didn't show it.
Although she can clearly feel that the other person is also afraid and wary in his heart, but the first thing the other person said is to beg her to accept him as a disciple.
"No, I'm not interested in one more burden!" Kern waved his hand indiscriminately, "I don't even bother to ask for a child around ten years old, let alone someone of your age. Do you think you can What do you do for me?"
"I, I don't know..." Haierbo's voice squeezed out of his throat was a bit dry, and the rate of speaking was very slow, but his tone was very firm, "But as long as I can be a wizard... I am willing to do anything."
Hairpo, who was able to have the reputation as later, was naturally not simple. His dedication to what he asked for began to be revealed from that moment.
Of course, almost all he got after that was "bad reputation".
"Want anything?" After hearing his insistence, Kern couldn't help shook his head, "Then I want you to die, are you willing?"
"As long as... I can survive and learn magic, I am willing."
Fear of death is natural, but other details besides fear are different from person to person. Just like Haierbo, while he was a little frightened by the sentence "I want you to die", he also showed the firmness in his heart.
"You really want to die?" When Kern heard ~IndoMTL.com~, he was finally a little happy, "Well, if what you said is true, if you can survive from start to finish, help me finish Magic experiment, then I can’t have one more apprentice like you."
Using ordinary human bodies to cooperate with wizards to do magic research? Others may not be able to hold it, but in Helbo's eyes, only the desire for the wizard is left.
"What I said...is true," Helbo said forcefully, "As long as you don't die, you can do it!"
"Oh, then you will die first!"
The next second, Kern picked up the slender staff at his hand, and immediately dropped his hand at Helbo. After a while, the latter, who had previously had fear for no reason due to the power of spiritual magic, lost consciousness in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, this is not the magic that can make people really die, and it is impossible to resurrect.
However, Helbo had completely fainted at the time, and it was not easy to wake up again.
When Helbo woke up at dawn, the girl Kern seemed to have left.
