Travel through the world of Hayao Miyazaki anime

After eating Stephen Jones’ cooking, Maruk and Stephen Jones became closer.

There was more talk to each other, and Maruk mainly talked about how he usually lived in this moving castle, and what kind of person Hal was?

Stephen Jones tries to talk less and listen more, people communicate with each other Sometimes as long as he is a listener, even if he pretends to be, give the right to speak to the other party, in this whole process, even if he does not speak, but as long as he shows the intention to listen, the other party will feel that he is very good at chatting, and chatting with himself is very pleasant.

After all, Maluk is just a child of seven or eight years old, where there is any scheming, and when this word is more, it is easy to hear how naïve and naïve what he said is.

However, Stephen Jones also got a lot of useful news from Maluk’s words.

For example, why did Hal let the Moving Castle come to this remote Ferding Valley, mainly to avoid the witches of the wasteland.

There is indeed a bad relationship between Hal and the Wasteland Witch, but what kind of evil relationship it is, Maluk is not very clear, because when Hal and the Wasteland Witch had an evil relationship, Maluk did not know Hal at that time, nor did he become Hal’s apprentice.

Stephen Jones deliberately pretended to be surprised and said to Maluk: “Maruk, you are so old, why don’t you take care of yourself at home, run to this moving castle, and make an apprentice for Hal, who can be your grandson?” ”

Maruk laughed after hearing this: “I’m sorry, Stephen, I forgot to take down the drag cloak, in fact, I am very young, younger than you, the reason why I usually dress up as a grandfather to outsiders is not that I think, Hal usually makes some spells to sell for money, but also to help people in need, since Hal took me as an apprentice, he gave me most of the spell making work, at the beginning, I showed it to the people who came to the door and wanted to ask for the spell, but many people showed distrust after seeing that I was not Hal, but a child, they did not want to buy the spell I made, but wanted to buy the spell made by Hal himself, maybe they thought that I was young, and the immature spell made was also immature! So Hal gave me an idea, he made a drag cape, as long as I wear this cloak, my appearance will become an old grandfather, I will not tell outsiders about this, but I admit Stephen, you are my friend, let you see my real appearance. ”

After that, Maluk lifted his cloak, and suddenly, the wrinkles and gray beard on Maruk’s face all disappeared, and a green face appeared in front of Stephen.

Stephen Jones pretended to be surprised and gasped, thinking that this was indeed the case.

“Haha, how’s it going? Isn’t it scary? Maruk was satisfied with Stephen’s performance and said proudly.

Maruk and Stephen are barely the same age in terms of age, usually Maluk is alone in the moving castle, and he can’t contact children of the same age as him, Stephen’s arrival is not a bad thing for Maruk.

“Yes, magic is amazing!” Stephen Jones sighed sincerely.

“Stephen, why do you want to learn magic, and Hal is also coming to Ferding Valley for the first time, you grew up living in Ferding Valley, and how did you meet Hal?” Maruk asked suspiciously.

Stephen: “I yearn for wizards’ great powers, wizards’ many abilities can help others, and they can also strengthen themselves, I want to learn powerful magic, and then leave Qiping Town, what will happen after that?” I didn’t think about it either, but I now know that a person can’t do anything without strength, and I think learning magic to become a qualified wizard is to lay a good foundation for whatever you want to do in the future. ”

Maruk: “Stephen, I didn’t expect your consciousness to be so high, I became Hal’s apprentice, it was completely a coincidence, I was an orphan, but once I happened to squat in front of Hal’s house to sleep, so he took me in, I didn’t want to sleep in the future, so I agreed to become Hal’s apprentice, as for learning magic, I didn’t think there was anything particularly remarkable, but I felt that learning magic was a very boring process.” ”

Stephen: “I think it’s because you’re studying alone, which leads to an atmosphere of no learning, if Hal can also accept me as an apprentice, then the two of us can learn magic together, we can compare each other, in that way, your motivation to learn magic will also be there, when Hal comes back, you can say a few nice words for me.” ”

Maruk smiled and said: “There is no problem with this, I also hope that you can stay, so that we can talk and play together in the future, and also, how did you and Hal meet?” ”

“Actually, I don’t know Hal, I just recently in Zipping Town, and I always heard that the owner of the Moving Castle is a wizard named Hal, because I am too yearning for magicians, after catching up with the Moving Castle, I saw that the door could not be opened, I was wondering if the Moving Castle was not welcome to strangers, so I said I knew the Hal Wizard, thank God, just let me in.”

Fire Demon Cassie said in a pompous manner: “Look, look, I said it was a lie, this is to blame Maluk this stupid bastard, he thought you said you knew the Hal wizard, he asked me to let you in, otherwise, you can’t enter at all, of course!” This is also my extremely intelligent relationship, I can feel that you don’t have any magic in you, so you are not some sinister wizard, just an ordinary person, put you in, you can’t toss anything? ”

Maluk and Casifer had different attitudes, he pointed at Stephen and said amusedly: “Stephen, you are so bold! I’m not afraid to show my stuffing. ”

After that, Maruk and Stephen looked at each other and laughed in unison.

After laughing, Stephen Jones once again showed a worried look, and Maruk saw Stephen’s face become strange, and asked with concern: “Stephen, what’s wrong with you?” ”

Stephen Jones hesitated for a while and said: “In fact, this time my behavior of coming to the moving castle is completely self-made, my mother does not approve of me coming here, and I will not agree to me learning magic, because my father died not long ago, our family makes shoes, now I make shoes in the store every day, and now I have become the breadwinner of the family, if I come to the moving castle to learn magic, the business of the shoe store may not take care of it, after all, it is not realistic to go back and forth to such a distance every day.” ”

He had long been aware of the situation Stephen had been talking about, but he knew that Hal definitely had a solution, otherwise he would not have come.

Having seen Howl’s Moving Castle, Stephen Jones knows that the gate of the Moving Castle is also magical, and can change space, just like any door.

As long as Hal agrees to take him in, when the time comes, add the coordinates of his own shoe store to the place where the gate of the moving castle leads, Hal’s moving castle and his own insoles will be connected together, and he can move the castle and shoe store back and forth every day through Howl’s moving castle, and there will be no delay on both sides.

Sure enough, Maruk waved his hand and said without caring at all: “Stephen, this problem is easy to solve, even if Hal is not there, Casifer and I can solve your affairs”

Stephen’s eyes lit up after listening to it: “Is it really possible?” ”

Maruk raised his head and asked Stephen the exact location of her shoe store, and then Maluk looked at Casifer and said, “Cassifer, you should be able to do it.” ”

Casifer nodded and said, “It’s definitely a trivial matter for me, but it takes a lot of energy to change a new space for the first time, and you have to prepare enough wood for me to eat.” ”

“Of course there is no problem with that.” Maruk got up and went to the fireplace, took out the wood that was stored underneath, and stacked it next to Casifer.

Casifer stretched out two small hands made of flames and put all the wood under him to burn, after which Casifer took a deep breath and swooped again, looking even bigger than the one he had grown to intimidate Stephen before.

The gate of the moving castle trembled at this time, as if the wooden gate would collapse at any time, and the whole process lasted about ten seconds, and with the ringing of a jingle bell, the gate instantly returned to calm.

Casifer also changed back to her original form, and she gave birth to a large pile of wood, all turned into a pile of ash in those ten seconds.

“Okay, you can go and open the door of the castle and take a look.” The corners of Casifer’s mouth cracked slightly, and he looked very relaxed.

“And Maruk, please come and remove these ashes from my side.”

Maruk patted Stephen’s shoulder, who was still stunned, and said to him: “According to what Casifer said, although he looks unreliable, but there is no doubt about his ability in this regard, now it is too late, since you sneaked out, you better go home and report safety, I am waiting for you here.” ”

After that, Maruk picked up the shovel and began to clean up the ashes burned by charcoal around Cassifer.

Stephen moved his feet to the door of the moving castle, stretched out his hand to grasp the doorknob, twisted the doorknob, and the jingle bell rang again, Stephen did not see where there was a bell near the gate, and he couldn’t figure out where this jingle came from, the only thing that changed was that above the gate, there was a disc, the disc was divided into five colors, which were black, red, green, white and yellow, and in the center of the disc, there was a pointer.

As he turned the doorknob, the pointer that was originally pointed to the black area in the disc moved to the red area.

Stephen swallowed a mouthful of spit and opened the door, and immediately, a look of shock appeared on his face, although she had expected it, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she really felt very shocked.

The gate of Hal’s moving castle was connected to the door of his room on the second floor of his shoe shop, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the corridor that Stephen was very familiar with.

Stephen walked out, then thought of something, looked back at his room, his room was no longer visible, it became the room in Hal’s moving castle.

Stephen: “Maruk, this is incredible, but if I leave here and come back later, won’t you be behind this gate?” ”

After Maruk shoveled the last handful of ashes, he wiped the sweat on his head and said: “No, you can stay in your own house tonight, and when Hal returns tomorrow, I will take the initiative to connect the gate of the castle to your home, and then I will inform you to come in and meet Hal, whether or not Hal will take you as an apprentice, I will at least come and report to you.” ”

“Then please.”
