Candy Wizard and Travel

"Obviously I feel that we get along quite well. During this time, I have gotten closer to my mother and have a best friend... Obviously these are two happy things... It's such a pity. I originally thought it would end this time. Everything.”

Chidi grabbed her wand.

"Teach the magic of the soul to others. After you leave, if they work hard for a few more years, Helvey will return to peace."

"That won't work. Without me, they can't do anything."

"You have been the patron saint for too long, Clarisse. If you continue like this, you will never be freed." Hidi still couldn't hold back and said a few more words to the people who were once his friends.

Clarisse sighed softly, "So to end everything this time... Now, my friend, can you help me again? Can you -"

Chidi took hold of the wand.

"——Leave your body to me."

"No."

When it comes to people, he won't lose.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The establishment of a new interpersonal relationship often means that the past mode of getting along is broken. As the saying goes, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come. This is generally true.

The Crescent Society's residence suffered devastating damage, more than 80% of which was caused by someone.

But it is understandable that the situation is urgent and the monsters are rampant. The surrounding residents and streets are not damaged at all. Only the damage to the buildings is not considered a loss at all. For the Crescent Society, which is started by all magicians, it does not take a day. It can be restored to its original state, even simply using retrospection magic is enough. The repair of objects is much simpler than that of living things.

Many residents who were woken up last night saw the huge figure of the monster in the window, which made them full of respect for the two people who cleaned up the wandering dead. If there is any good impression, someone here should have climbed to the level of respect. .

Of course, there are still losses, and there are quite a lot of them. The complicated paperwork is scattered all over the place. There is nothing that needs to be kept secret, but it is very troublesome to reorganize it. The really important ones are all in Clarice's storage magic.

The members of the Crescent Society were extremely sorry for not being able to help, and they realized afterward that Lady Clarice's mother was still there. If they had relied on them alone, wouldn't Lady Clarice have to go through another crisis after last night? A mother's death?

They forcefully...knelt on the ground collectively, requesting that the garrison be rebuilt and the defense strength strengthened to ensure that the same thing would not happen next time.

Clarice reluctantly agreed.

The construction period is estimated to be seven days.

So these days she needs to live outside with her mother, not outside, it is her past home, where she grew up before she can remember, and where her current mother lives.

……

Lunch is served outside.

There were a lot of things that needed to be tidied up inside the house. Ms. Clarice's mother also wanted to buy flowers to decorate, and declined the suggestion to use magic. The leader of the Crescent Society didn't mind either, holding the scythe with both hands. The broom was a little awkward, cleaning the past home bit by bit.

A small sense of nostalgia and fulfillment sprouted in my heart.

Clarice laments that this happiness comes too late.

"What's wrong?" The blue-haired woman looked over.

Xu had not exercised for a long time, and cleaning made her face slightly flushed, making her look healthier.

Clarisse squinted her eyes and shook her head, "No, it's okay."

"Don't worry about me. I can be alone here. You can go and do your business if you have many things to do."

"Helvey doesn't have much to do."

The sun was shining inside the house, and Clarice found that she had not enjoyed the afternoon sun like this for a long time.

"I can't help you anymore... By the way, where is your friend named Xidi?"

The witch's hand paused, "He has left temporarily, but he will be back soon."

"That's a good child." Clarice's mother confessed, like a real mother who wants her child to make reliable friends and maintain good friendships.

They talked as much today as they did in the past month, but no one felt that it was out of the ordinary. This is how people get along with each other. After they get to know each other, they talk when they want to talk and don't talk when they don't want to. No matter whether they are still or moving, no one knows how to talk. Feel bad.

Clarisse enjoyed this time very much, squinting her eyes to feel the sunshine.

"Thank you my friend."

……

Helvey at Dusk.

In an underground base that cannot be found by any detection magic, that is where Xidi is.

His current situation is quite good from an objective perspective, with a clean space, a soft bed, and bookshelves filled with various books. The gramophone in the corner starts with a slight scratching sound, playing classics from the past era. Not strong music.

The silver figure walked softly to the melody of the drums, put down the food box in her hand, and a book, which was her autobiography. There were signs of reading on the first few pages. It was stuck under the bed in the ruins, but it was not damaged.

She stepped forward and gently touched the sleeping man's face.

"You lost, it's a pity," Clarice sniffed the sweet fragrance on her fingertips, "Now it's my trophy."

Her 300 years were spent in constant battles, not only with the dead, but also with wandering magicians, rioting monsters, invading armies... All the seeds of unrest were strangled in the cradle with these hands.

To the dead, to monsters, to people.

She won't lose.

In these years, she has met many amazing and talented people, and among those people, this friend in front of her is also the most outstanding one, with inhumanly huge magic power, extremely skilled skills, profound wisdom and perseverance. Shifting faith...

It makes people salivate.

Clarisse was actually regretting it now. If she hadn't done something like that yesterday and asked him to leave, they might have a chance to become friends again in the years to come, although the chance was equally slim.

Her desire for such a talent does not conflict with her desire to maintain this friendship.

Now, there is no way out.

Clarisse gently touched her friend's eyes, recalling the emotions in those red eyes in the past few days, and guessing what it would be like later.

It must be beautiful.

It made people look forward to it, but also vaguely afraid of the resentment and condemnation that would appear in it. She had never cared so much about someone's feelings, except for her mother.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Clarisse coughed violently, raised her handkerchief to cover her face, and looked at the gray and black blood on it.

She was about to die, the resentment of the deceased was deep in her bones, and her time was running out.

"Sure enough, the body affects the mind. It becomes so weak..."

She sat down and leaned against the bed, waiting quietly for her friend to wake up.

It won't take long, Clarice is confident in her technique, as if she was sleeping normally.

……

Another terrible dream.

Babies and furry animals crawled in the bloody water, and bloated sarcoma throbbed and swelled... Finally, there was Clarisse, covered in gray mist.

His dazed consciousness suddenly returned to his body. When he opened his eyes, he saw the silver-haired witch in front of him. Following the impression he had just left, he said, "Don't go there, Clarice."

"Huh?" The witch in front of her smiled, and her mood suddenly improved a lot, "Are you thinking about me?"

Only then did his broken mind recall what happened in the early morning.

Xidi's face darkened, and she immediately wanted to summon a wand.

Nothing happens.

"Are you looking for a wand? Here you go." She thoughtfully handed over the wand embedded with gems.

There is no need to hold out hope now. When I took it, as expected, I could not feel the presence of magic at all.

After reading so many books, Xi Di has more than one method to restrain magic power, not to mention the great witch Clarisse from 300 years ago.

About 99% of the magic power in the body has been drained away, leaving only a little bit to maintain the stability of the body. The air is like magic insulation, and the existence of any magic power cannot be sensed. It is obvious that this building has been specially treated.

Not only that, his body had a feeling of weakness due to stiffness and blood circulation. He felt numb all over even when he raised his hands. He felt that even standing up was a little difficult.

Imprisoned.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Restrictions on movement, emptiness of magic power, confinement in a secret room...

The gender change received over [-] comments.

Even if it is not changed, it will be difficult to do. Now Xidi feels very bad.

"Are you scared?" Clarice came over, easily picked up Hidden and put him in her arms, stroking his hair gently.

"Of course I'm scared. I don't know you anymore and I don't know what you will do."

Hidi tried to struggle and felt the strength. This level was more like coquettishness than struggle. If there was any use... massaging Clarice?

He didn't know what Clarice wanted to do, but judging from her last words yesterday, it wasn't a good thing.

"But you, my friend, are a very understanding person. Are you merciful to people you know well? If the magic power output were stronger yesterday, I would have been in trouble." The witch seemed to be holding a doll in her arms, pressing her forehead against it. on the back of his neck, "But it doesn't matter, we still have a lot of time to get to know each other, and no one can disturb us here."

This level of intimacy has exceeded the boundary of "friend" in Xidi's heart, but now he has nothing to do.

"So what exactly are you trying to do?"

"One thing I have learned in my long life is that human power has its limits. No matter how hard you exercise, the limit you can reach is within reach."

Xi Di lowered her head in disgust and tried to stay away from her breath, "Can you still be called a human being like this?"

"Yes."

She sighed.

"I have long ceased to be human... But this is what I can't accept. I have given up so many things and lost so many things, but now, Helvey is still like this... It's such a pity, so sad Sorry...

I thought I had been able to adapt to all this, but now I found that it was just numbness. I communicated with everyone around me, the Crescent Society, the residents, and even my current mother. I thought I loved them. Yesterday I just realized that it was just an illusion. Do you know what the first thing I wanted to do when I came here yesterday? "

Her fingers came over and grasped Xi Di's hand tightly. It no longer had the warmth of the previous few days.

He said this with a voice of fear and self-loathing:

"I actually want to kill her - kill my current mother! Wipe away all the buds of uneasiness... God, it makes me want to vomit..."

Since he said this, he didn't want to do anything. Xi Di was happy that the mother was still alive and that she could still enjoy the rest of her life, but he didn't want to say it now or comfort Clarice.

"It goes through the cycle again and again. After 300 years, there is nothing here. It's completely empty." Clarice laughed and lay on the bed holding Hidi. "The hero that everyone in Helvey longed for is just a blank." clay puppet.

300 years ago, after I killed my mother's soul, I preserved part of her soul fragment. I wanted to resurrect her... I kept working hard in the first two reincarnations, but in the end, a part was always missing. The remaining part of my mother was different from the other parts. The dead are pieced together, and they continue to chop and kill the dead, but the fragments in their hands seem to never become more numerous. Only the dead are eternal.

By the last time, I had understood that my original mother would never come back. My obsession has changed from resurrecting my mother to avenging the dead, and now, protecting this country, but I have failed in any of them. .

I don’t know where I lost my mother’s soul fragments;

The dead are endless and there is no clear future in sight;

Many people who love this country left 100 years ago because of conflicts of ideas. The remaining people surround me like the dead. They will stay in this country forever and be afraid until I die completely...I have accomplished nothing. . "

She told these words that should never be told to outsiders, and Xi Di rested her head on her chest and stopped struggling.

A bad premonition filled his heart like rain clouds on a cloudy day.

"Every time I reincarnate, I will separate my consciousness and live in the baby's body, but now it seems that, just like my mother's soul, my soul is also fragmented, and the new life has filled it with unfamiliar fillings. .

If this continues, be it 300, 400 or 500 years, nothing will change. Only I will become more and more unfamiliar. Today, I can kill my mother for stability and keep changing my body. I can no longer imagine what I will do in the future. What happened...

Immediately eliminate ideas that are contrary to my own, change my body when my physical fitness declines, use living people as bait in order to conquer the dead... This kind of thought has appeared in my mind.

I will not die, but it will be more terrifying than death. If this continues, it will no longer be the dead who are truly harming the country, but me.

So it must end as soon as possible, it must... cough cough cough! "

Clarice coughed violently, as if her internal organs were being carved out. Dirty blood flowed onto the sheets, which was particularly dazzling in contrast to the plain white color.

Xi Di struggled to turn around and looked at her. Under the black skirt, the skin on her chest had turned gray, and most of the blood vessels that should have been cyan turned into gray and black.

Recalling the details of the early morning crusade, Hidi remembered that before he held up the shell magic, Clarisse had already been bathed in the thick gray fog.

She was dying, but Hidi couldn't be happy.

"Let me out and find medicine. You are going to die. Or have you found a new body?" Xi Di showed a look of disgust.

"No."

"Then what do you want to do..."

"——No need, my new body is right here, right here."
