Chapter 1936

Hai Erbo has never forgotten her.

Even if he and she have neither master-student relationship nor other fate; even if he and her... seem to have only met two sides from beginning to end.

But for more than two thousand years, Haierbo still can't forget her.

The magic staff she gave her has long been lost, and the note she left behind has long been turned into nothingness.

"If you can use it to cast a spell someday, come to me, then I may reluctantly accept you as an apprentice."

This is a text written by Kern Xinxin at that time.

In order to complete this agreement, Haierbo, who was not very talented at the time, spent a lot of time and energy. However, when he finally walked in front of her after going through untold hardships, the other party no longer knew him.

That's right, when the two met again after decades, Kern no longer "knew" Haierbo.

You know, Kern is a witch, and also an extremely powerful genius. If she has a bad memory, how can she achieve that achievement?

If a wizard forgets something, it undoubtedly means that the memory of that thing has been completely erased by some accident.

To this day, Hai Erbo still remembers that night—it was the second time he spoke face-to-face with Kern. And at the same time, for the last time.

...

It has been five years since the magic war against the goddess of death ended.

In the past five years, the heartland of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt, which was originally the main battlefield, has always maintained a barren and dilapidated appearance due to fierce and protracted wars.

Scattered sand and gravel, engulfed in the abnormal storm, ran amok on this endless barren land. Due to the remaining power of many powerful magics, there is no grass and birds here.

The conquest coalition composed of many wizards and magical creatures withdrew all of them to the Greek region four years ago, and only Haierbo remained in this harsh environment.

He was silently waiting... hoping that the witch who disappeared inexplicably at the end of the war could reappear in front of him and fulfill the unfinished promise back then.

so,

Haierbo lived in the ruins of the original royal city for five years.

Except for doing magic research every day, he spent almost the rest of the time in the nearby area, either stopping to look at it, or wandering around.

In the early morning, he ran around, looking for every trace of Kern before he disappeared; in the evening, he climbed up the only remaining section of the city wall, and stood in a daze against the yellow sand and strong wind.

Perhaps Haierbo, two thousand years later, doesn't really understand why he did such a stupid thing back then. But at that time, Haierbo knew very well that his ideal lay in the witch Kern.

Ok!

Speaking of it, it may also be that fate itself wants to give him an answer to the persistent wait. After five years of waiting, on a certain night when the sandstorm subsided a little, an abnormal wave of magic power suddenly appeared in the ruins of the royal city, which instantly attracted Haierbo's attention.

Under the clearer and brighter moonlight than usual, he searched all the way for the source of the magic fluctuations, and finally saw a strange black phantom in a ruined wall with a strange depression.

It was a shadow that was difficult to explain in words, as if it was a phenomenon that did not belong to this world, Haierbo did not dare to approach it casually for a while.

But, besides Nakern, who else would create such a mysterious and unknown magical phenomenon in this place?

Haierbo didn't think about it... Although he didn't dare to get close, he didn't want to retreat either. Even if he could clearly feel the great danger from the phantom, he still didn't want to leave.

So, after about a few minutes, he finally saw another familiar figure stepping out of the inexplicable phantom.

"Tat-tat."

The sound of the soles touching the hard ground was especially clear in this quiet environment tonight because there was no big storm. And when the graceful figure that was once feared by countless people was finally fully revealed under the moonlight, the phantom silently shrank into a point and disappeared from Haierbo's vision.

"...Miss Kern..."

God knows how hard Haierbo tried to force the words out of his throat, so that the tone became a bit strange, containing many complex and subtle emotions.

After hearing Haierbo's soft call, he just stood on the sunken open space and faced him sideways. After appearing, he kept a silent figure and gradually turned around.

"K, Miss Kern?"

At that moment, Hai Erbo didn't even understand what he saw!

The body on the side facing him was still as graceful as it was five years ago, making her even cruel, powerful, crazy, and terrifying, and she still won the name of "Goddess".

But the other half of the body was pitch black, possessing a body like that of the most ferocious and powerful beast. That half of the face was terrifyingly ferocious, and the blood-colored eyes released a faint red light, which could not be covered even by the bright moonlight.

Of course, perhaps the most important thing is that her physical strength is constantly rising and her magic power is fluctuating. The overwhelming power makes Hai Erbo almost breathless.

And at the next moment, the neither human nor ghost witch Kern finally spoke.

"Who are you?"

The special voice, as if two voices of a man and a woman overlapped with each other, immediately made Haierbo's scalp tingle and goose bumps appeared on his body.

"I... I'm your student, Miss Kern... I've finally been waiting for you! You...don't remember me?"

Perhaps it was because of his obsession with Kern for many years that Haierbo let go of his fear all of a sudden. He hurriedly took out the decades-old note that he had carefully kept from his pocket, let it float in the direction where Kern was standing as soon as he let it go.

Kern, however, didn't even reach out to take it. Hai Erbo saw that she just glanced at it casually, and then a black flame ignited on the note, directly devouring it.

"I don't know you." Kern's dull voice sounded again, piercing straight into Haierbo's heart, "Stay away from me, otherwise, your fate will be the same as that boring piece of paper. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Kern never looked at Haierbo again, turned around and walked towards the barren sand dunes outside the ruins. Haierbo originally wanted to chase after him, but his legs seemed to have taken root on the ground, and he couldn't lift them up no matter what.

After a while, Kern disappeared at the end of the horizon.
