Travel through the world of Hayao Miyazaki anime

Stephen Jones looked around and immediately saw that there were many magic-related things hanging from the beams of this room.

For example, all kinds of bizarre herbs.

In the closet in the corner of the room, there are many parchment rolls depicted with strange words and pictures, and some bottles of different shapes and do not know what they contain.

On a small table in the corner of the room sat a grinning human skeleton that looked to be many years old.

The most striking thing is the fireplace in the room, which is open, and at the moment the fireplace is burning a small fire.

But strangely, the flame did not emit smoke with its burning, and no wonder, the fireplace was designed to be open.

Usually the fireplace is built-in, because then the smoke from the flame can be exhausted directly through the exhaust duct.

However, in this way, a new question arises, since there is no smoke from this pile of flames, where did the four thick smoke that erupted from outside the castle come from?

Soon, the answer was answered by Stephen Jones.

The pile of small flames suddenly appeared coldly with two eyes, and then stretched out two small hands made of flames, pulled a piece of wood that had not yet burned aside, and put it under him to burn, then opened his mouth, spit out a large puff of black billowing smoke towards the chimney above his head, and then looked straight at Stephen Jones.

This pile of small flames that were only the size of a palm was none other than the fire demon Cassifer.

“You said your name was Stephen Jones, then, Mr. Stephen, what is your relationship with Wizard Hal, and is there anything specific about coming here?”

After brewing the tea, the dwarf brought both cups of tea, then came to Stephen Jones and handed him a cup.

“Thank you.” Stephen Jones ended up pouring his cup into thanks, and this time he went out, panicked, not fully prepared, did not drink water along the way, and was already thirsty.

However, the water in the cup was red, like blood, and looked very evil, and Stephen Jones didn’t know what it was, and was about to drink it, but suddenly did not dare to drink it.

Just hold the cup motionless like that?

“The tea in the cup is heather flower tea, the heather flower is directly dried and ground into powder, and then sprinkled in the cup, brewed with water, the heather flower is red, therefore, it is red, not some strange things, when Hal placed the moving castle here is to see that there is a sea of heather flowers nearby, he likes to drink heather tea.”

The dwarf looked at the hesitant Stephen Jones and explained.

“Uh, is heather flowers drinkable?” Stephen Jones said with a strange look, heather flowers are in Qiping Town, Qiping Town has existed for hundreds of years, heather flowers have existed hundreds of years ago, there have been people, I don’t know why? , bravely tried to eat heather, but soon after trying, there was a poisoning reaction, such as diarrhea, nausea, and it took several days to slow down?

From then on, heather flowers were only of ornamental value.

“Of course not, although heather flowers taste very good, but eat them directly, then there must be guilt, after Hal collected heather flowers, he used magic to disperse the things in the heather flowers that would make people feel bad, all of which were specially treated, of course, how to deal with it, this is a secret, Hal said that she did not want to make this method public, otherwise everyone can drink heather flowers, so that he can appear to be particularly unique and tasteful.”

The dwarf waved his hand and said helplessly.

“So it is.” Stephen Jones put down his heart, and did not think that this dwarf would poison himself, and he had hesitated before just curious, what is this thing, the true identity of the dwarf Stephen Jones has long guessed.

The real identity of the dwarf old man is named Maruk, he is not an old man with a beard and ballast, in fact, he is only seven or eight years old, and the reason why he can become an old man is because of the cloak that Maluk wears.

When the cloak is put on, it can change his appearance, and Maluk often uses this capacity to receive guests who visit Hal.

After all, a child, no one really puts him in his eyes, pretending to be an old man is obviously much more useful.

Stephen Jones didn’t say anything either.

“Well, it does taste good.” After Stephen Jones drank heather tea, his eyes lit up.

It’s incredible to place the teacup on the table, the teacup standing still on the table, and again without the violent rumble that occurs when walking in the castle.

After a pause, Stephen Jones said to the Maruk gang: “That, what do you call it?” ”

“Since you and Wizard Hal know each other, don’t be too restrained, my name is Maruk, you can just call me Maruk.”

Stephen Jones nodded and said: “Hello Maruk, in fact, this time, I am planning to ask Wizard Hal to take me in, I want to learn magic, I want Wizard Hal’s apprentice.” ”

“Huh?” Maruk was surprised, he never thought that Stephen Jones’ real purpose was this.

Thinking of Hal’s various hanger appearances, he was really not suitable to be a competent teacher, and he was Hal’s only apprentice, and he was deeply touched by this.

“I can’t answer this question, I have to let Wizard Hal decide, but he is not in the castle now, he will not be able to return until tomorrow, you may have to wait all night.” Maluk said.

“There’s no problem with that.” Stephen Jones replied.

“It’s so funny that someone wants to be a teacher.” Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded.

Looking in the direction where Stephen Jones’ quarrelling voice came from, it was Casifer, the fire demon.

Stephen Jones deliberately showed a surprised look, looked at Maruk and asked, “What is this flame, how can it still speak?” ”

“You are the thing, my name is Casifer.” Fire Demon Casifer said indignantly.

“Stephen, don’t mind, Cassifer has no malice, that’s how he says it.” Aruk said in a circle.

Stephen Jones nodded.

Casifer continued: “You guy, it’s really interesting, I noticed you a long time ago, then when you were very close to the castle, for safety reasons, I controlled the castle to move, because Hal had an explanation that you can’t let people you don’t know approach the castle, but you can keep up with the castle moving speed, how can you run so fast?” ”

Maruk also reflected at this time, he was making a spell before, and did not pay attention outside, until Stephen Jones jumped on the steps of Howl’s moving castle and tried to open the door, Cassifer, which alerted someone outside that he was planning to enter the castle.

And then then came the next thing.

Since Casifer believes that Stephen Jones is different from ordinary people in terms of speed, it is clear that Stephen Jones is definitely not an ordinary person.

For this question, Stephen Jones himself was puzzled: “I don’t know very well, maybe it is natural, my foot strength is better.” ”

“Then your foot strength is too good, not better, it is estimated that the professional marathon athletes of the English Kingdom are not as fast as you on such a rugged mountain road.” Casifer said with a big laugh.

However, Casifer has been staying in Howl’s moving castle since he signed the contract with Hal and has not gone out much, and once, Kingsbury, the capital of the English Kingdom, held a marathon, and Casifer respected Hal’s order and controlled the moving castle to fly high in the air and look down on the ground.

“Well, since you’ve made up your mind, you just wait here first! I still have a spell over there, I need to complete it, I won’t entertain you first, and when it’s time for dinner, we’ll have a meal together, and then I’ll take you to your guest room to rest for the night until Hal comes back tomorrow, what do you think?” Maluk said.

“That’s good, trouble you.” Stephen Jones replied politely.

“Hmm” Maluk nodded, then turned to the small table in the corner of the room with skulls and various bottles and jars.

After Maluk sat down, he carefully picked up a beaker, which contained a viscous green liquid and bubbled up from time to time.

The style of the beaker is also very strange, showing an irregular prism, only the bottom is flat, so that this strangely shaped cup will not pour out the water in the cup because of the tilt, so that the strange quality of no effect, even the qualification of the cup can not be called.

Maluk carefully poured the green liquid inside the beaker into another oddly shaped beaker containing black powder.

After that, a bright light flashed, a dull sound came out, and along with a burst of smoke spread, Aluq’s entire face was blackened.

And, accompanied by a violent cough: “Cough cough.” ”

Maruk hurried away from his workbench, striking hard at the black mist in front of him.

“Failed again, lean.”

Stephen Jones saw this scene and was very curious, Maruk was like a chemist, engaged in some chemical experiments.

But before Maluk said that he was going to continue to make spells, could it be that the chemical experiments in this world are spells?

Shouldn’t the spell be an esoteric and complicated scripture, usually, magicians can cast magic after reciting occult and complex spells, which is the spell that ordinary people remember.
