Haierbo has never forgotten her.

Even if he and she have neither a master-student relationship nor any other relationship; even if he and she... seem to have only seen each other from beginning to end.

But for more than two thousand years, Haierbo still could not forget her.

The staff she gave her had been lost long ago, and the note she left behind had long since turned into nothingness.

"If one day you can use it to cast a spell, come and find me. Then I may reluctantly accept you as my apprentice."

This is a piece of text written by Kern at that time.

In order to fulfill this agreement, Haierbo, who was not very talented at the time, spent a lot of time and energy. However, when he finally came to her after all the hardships, the other party no longer recognized him.

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

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

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

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

…

It has been five years since the magical war against the Goddess of Death ended.

In the past five years, the heartland of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, which was originally the main battlefield, has remained desolate and dilapidated due to fierce and protracted wars.

The flying sand and gravel, carried by the abnormal storm, roamed wildly on this endless wasteland. Due to the remaining power of many powerful magics, not a single blade of grass grew here, and the birds were extinct.

The conquest coalition, composed of many wizards and magical creatures, all withdrew to Greece four years ago, and only Herbo remained in this harsh environment.

He was waiting silently... looking forward to the witch who disappeared inexplicably at the end of the war to reappear in front of him and fulfill her unfinished promise back then.

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

Apart from doing magic research every day, he spends almost the rest of his 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, staring in a daze against the yellow sand and strong wind.

Maybe Halbo, two thousand years later, doesn't quite understand why he did such stupid things back then. But at that time, Halbo knew very well that his ideal lay in the witch Kern.

All right!

Speaking of which, it might be that fate itself wanted to give him an answer as he waited persistently. After five years of waiting, one night when the sandstorm subsided a little, an abnormal magic wave suddenly appeared in the ruins of the royal city. In an instant,

This attracted Haierbo's attention.

Under the clearer and brighter moonlight than usual, he followed the source of the magic fluctuations and finally saw a strange black shadow among the ruins of a strangely sunken wall.

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

However, besides Na Kern, who else would create such a mysterious and unknown magical phenomenon in this place?

Haierbo didn't think so... Although he didn't dare to approach, he didn't want to retreat. Even though he could clearly feel the great danger from the shadow, he was still reluctant to leave.

So, about a few minutes later, he finally saw another familiar figure step out from the inexplicable shadow.

"Ta-ta."

The sound of the soles touching the hard ground was particularly clear in the quiet environment tonight because there was no big storm. And when that graceful figure, who had been feared by countless people, was finally fully revealed

After being under the moonlight, the phantom silently shrank into a point and disappeared from Haierbo's field of vision.

"...Kern...Miss."

God knows how hard Halbo had to use to squeeze the words out of his throat, so that the tone became a little 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 his silent figure and gradually turned around.

"K-Ms. Kern?"

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

The side of her body that originally faced him was still as graceful as five years ago, so even though she was cruel, powerful, crazy, and terrifying, she still earned the title of "goddess".

But the other half of the body was completely black, with a body that resembled that of the most ferocious and powerful beast. That half of the face was terrifyingly ferocious, and the blood-colored eyes emitted a faint red glow that could not even be obscured by the bright moonlight.

live.

Of course, perhaps the most important thing is that the magic power in her body is constantly increasing. 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, which was like the voices of a man and a woman overlapping each other, immediately made Hai Erbo's scalp numb and goosebumps appeared on his body.

"I...I am your student, Miss Kern...I have finally waited for you! Don't you...don't remember me?"

Perhaps because he had been thinking about Kern for many years, Haierbo suddenly put aside the fear in his heart. He hurriedly took out the decades-old note from his pocket that he had carefully kept at that time.

Let it go and let it drift towards the direction where Kern is standing.

However, Kern didn't even reach out to pick it up. Haierbo saw that she just glanced at it casually, and then a black flame ignited on the note, swallowing it up.

"I don't know you." Kern's dull voice sounded again, piercing straight into Haierbo's heart, "Stay away from me, otherwise, you will end up like that boring piece of paper.

"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kern never looked at Haierbo again, turned around and walked towards the deserted sand dunes outside the ruins. Haierbo originally wanted to chase him, but his legs seemed to have taken root on the ground.

I can't lift it up no matter what.

It wasn't until a moment later that Kern disappeared at the end of the horizon.
