Travel through the world of Hayao Miyazaki anime

“Oh, Stephen, when did you come back, but I’ve been in the store today and haven’t seen you come back?” Essex heard footsteps coming from the stairs, turned to look, and then asked with a surprised look.

“I just came back, maybe you didn’t notice me just now?” Stephen Jones shrugged and explained casually.

“Is that so? It seems that I am really busy and dizzy, since you are back, then you should hurry up and help me, just in time I can take my hand out to make a good dinner! With that, Essex turned and left.

Stephen Jones looked at Essex who left, and his mind to learn magic became more determined.

After all, the future is about to enter a world war, and life will only become more difficult during the war years.

He has been in this world for several days, in fact, there is a sense of distance for Essex and his two younger brothers, but they are still good for themselves, at least the few people in this strange world who will care about themselves.

Stephen Jones also treated them as his own.

Stephen Jones then made a few pairs of shoes, made up a few more pairs, then ate dinner, went back to his room, and slept until dawn the next day.

Stephen Jones is now becoming more and more skilled in making shoes, and he can already do it twice, while making shoes, his thoughts have long drifted to the distance, Hal’s moving castle, and I don’t know if what Maruk said counts.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs, and Stephen Jones turned his head to see Maruk running down his house.

Thankfully, Essex went grocery shopping early in the morning and hadn’t returned yet, and his two younger brothers hadn’t woken up from their sleep, otherwise it would have been another explanation.

“Stephen, come with me, Hal is back.”

Stephen Jones didn’t dare to delay, quickly got up, followed Maruk to run upstairs, halfway through, he realized that there was no one to take care of the store, and ran back to close the door first, not caring whether Essex would teach him a lesson afterwards.

Came to his room, opened the door, behind the door is no longer his own room, but connected to Hal’s moving castle, although yesterday this scene Stephen has seen, now see it again still feel very incredible, this should be a kind of space magic.

Now that Maruk had entered Howl’s moving castle, Stephen Jones’ attention suddenly fell on a blond young man sitting at the table.

The young man is also in his early 20s, with delicate facial features, as if this has been put on makeup, and there are two sapphire pendant stud earrings on the two lobes, if compared with the stereotypical man with a beard and muscles, Hal is definitely a sissy type of beautiful man.

“Are you Stephen?” Hal shook the white robe he was wearing with gold silk, picked up the heather tea on the table, and after taking a sip, he said slowly.

Stephen Jones knew that it was time to behave, and quickly said miserably: “Respected Wizard Hal, long admired daimyo, I am Stephen Jones, and I am an ordinary proof of the town of Flatping in the Valley of Verdin.” ”

“Maruk has told me, but I don’t know you, and what do you know about me? Where did you come from for a long time? Hal said as he looked at Stephen Jones playfully.

“I beg your pardon for saying bluntly, I really don’t know what the origin of the Hal’s wizard is, and what happened to you, and my knowledge of the Hal wizard is limited to the words that are circulating in Qiping Town, saying that the Hal wizard, you like to capture young girls, and then eat their souls and collect their hearts.”

“Oh, hahaha, then why do you dare to come over?” Hal said with a funny look.

“I think this is a rumor circulating in Qiping Town, if the Hal wizard is really such a person, before the mayor of the town sent people to the royal capital Kingsbury to seek the king’s help, our whole town knew, but after investigation, it was not done, there are only two explanations, either the town is circulating rumors, or the Hal wizard is very powerful, even the king of the English kingdom does not dare to provoke, and it is not a maiden, I think even if the rumor is true, I should not be in any danger, Compared to my determination to learn magic, I thought the risk was worth the risk. ”

Stephen Jones said calmly.

Hal: “Good boy really sharp-tongued, you can see that you are a very smart person, indeed as you said, I am not interested in the heart or soul of a girl, of course, I am happy to accept normal interaction with girls, the reason why there will be rumors unfavorable to me in Qiping Town, in fact, I took the initiative to spread it, the purpose is to make the people of Qiping Town fear my moving castle, so that they dare not approach the moving castle to bring me trouble, but I didn’t expect everyone to be afraid to die.” , You are such a brat who has not yet reached adulthood to be so bold, can you tell me why you want to learn magic. ”

Stephen Jones said preparedly: “I think magic is a very magical thing, by learning magic, you can understand the world, and you can make yourself strong, protect the people you want to protect, I lived in a small village near the town of Ziping when I was very young, and then my mother fell ill, ordinary Muggle doctors couldn’t solve it at all, originally we wanted to go to the wizard, but because the village was too remote, it was too late, and my biological mother died like that, From then on, I was determined to become a wizard. ”

These were the words he had pondered last night before bed, some questions about how to interview Hal.

Stephen Jones’ biological mother, she does have her memories in her mind, but just watching memories, like watching a movie, it is difficult to have a real bond, after all, she is no longer the original Stephen Jones.

Hal: “So that’s the case, why don’t you go directly to Kingsbury, the School of Magic?” You must know that it is more formal, after learning it, the kingdom will directly arrange a job for you, if you follow me to learn, you can only be regarded as a wild wizard, and many things are inconvenient to do. ”

“Originally, I had this plan, but not long ago, my father died because of an accident on the way to business, my family only has a stepmother, and two younger brothers to take care of, and the stepmother alone can not complete the task of making shoes, so for the sake of my home, I had to give up, the plan to go to Kingsbury to learn magic at the beginning, originally I had given up this dream, maybe I didn’t have this life, but I didn’t expect it, Wizard Hal, your moving castle actually appeared near the town of Zipping, and I thought it was a godsend, so I came over. ”

Stephen Jones did not hide his admiration for Hal in the slightest, of course, all of this was pretended, and he needed to use this method to most intuitively gain Hal’s favor and get him to agree to take him as an apprentice.

If you are like an ordinary crosser, you have a gold finger or something, where do you still toss these things.

But I don’t know if it’s my turn to cross, how to live such a reality.

After listening to Stephen Jones, Hal was silent for a few seconds, and then said with a smile: “It’s not easy for you kid, I agree to your request.” ”

“Master, thank you so much.” Stephen Jones came with a 90-degree bow and said from the heart.

Hal waved his hand and said: “Don’t call me master, that will call me old, you just call me Hal, about the basic knowledge of magic, I have already told Maruk, you first learn basic magic with Maruk, after all the basic magic is learned, you can directly come to me and ask me for more complex magic, but I want to tell you, magic this thing can be used to do good things, can also be used to do bad things, if you learned magic from me, but used it in some bad places, I won’t spare you. ”

Stephen Jones replied, “Yes, Hal. ”

Hal: “Also, in general, since you have become my apprentice, I should let Casifer create a new room in the moving castle for you to live in, just like Maruk, but between your home situation, you are not like Maruk who stays in the moving castle all the time, I will not set up your room in the moving castle, the door of the moving castle and the door of your room are connected, if you want to return to the moving castle after going out of the moving castle, just knock on the door of your own room, At that time, Maruk will open the door for you, and you can go directly to the moving castle, remember, it is to knock, if you open the door directly in your own house, you will only return to your room, not to the moving castle. ”

Stephen Jones nodded, indicating that he already knew.

Hal got up at this time, he glanced thoughtfully at the shoes on Stephen’s feet, put down the heather tea cup in his hand, got up and walked towards the upstairs of the moving castle, and as he walked, he said to Casifer: “Cassifer, boil some hot water, I’m going to take a bath.” ”

“Got it, got it,” Casifer said impatiently.

“Stephen, this is wonderful.” After Hal left, Maruk, who had just been silent, jumped to his feet happily, silently happy that he had another playmate.

On the other side, Hal, who came to the bathroom and lay in the bathtub, recalled the shoes on Stephen’s feet in his mind, and muttered: “What an interesting guy, those shoes seem to have been transformed by magic, are they magic props?” But it doesn’t seem to be. ”

Hal decided to continue observing Stephen for a few more days to see what kind of person Stephen really was and whether what he said was true.

After all, he also has a lot of unspeakable troubles now, and there are many people staring at him, so he can’t be careless.
