Goodness and evil, power and wealth, strength and immortality... all of these have actually been intertwined with each other in Haierbo's life, one after another.
However, none of them are what Haierbo is obsessed with.
For good, he had taken on apprentices and taught them carefully, and he had also personally buried Kern's teacher; for evil, he had massacred a city with blood, killing countless people in his hands. For power, he once served as a local lord, and there were not many dependents under his rule; for wealth, he almost never lacked it after becoming a wizard.
And even though his talent was not very high, after finding the Devouring Mirror and figuring out how to make Horcruxes, he had a lot of time for him to squander. After thousands of years of life, even a giant monster can become a wizard, let alone a human being
As time went by, those little wishes he had when he was young and before he became a wizard have actually been over-realized.
But there is only one goal, and the longer his life is, the more distant it will become.
Yes, of course Haierbo never gave up. Ever since he accidentally went to South Africa and found the ancient mirror in a hidden magic research site in Kern, he has been following clues to explore the mysteries of the source of disasters.
Gradually, he learned that there should theoretically be seven similar magic items in the world; he also learned that Kern might have studied the rules of the soul too deeply and eventually fell into the "abyss" as Andros said. "; He even speculated that the matter might be related to the demon summoning technique in ancient times through the memories of the last time he saw Kern.
However, too much time has passed since Kern disappeared. It has been so long that no one still remembers the goddess of death who disappeared in the history of magic. It has been so long that even he himself has become history.
This is the terrible thing about the rules of time - it will make everything that has ever happened slowly fade, slowly rot, and slowly disappear into nothingness.
To this day, Haierbo is still persistently pursuing his former goal. But in fact, the memory of Kern's appearance in his heart had already become blurry.
His persistence has become a symbol, tying his neck and leading him forward.
"It's started... It's started... Hahahaha... It's finally started!"
Deep in the main hall of Buckingham Palace, Haierbo suddenly stood up from the throne, raised his head and laughed wildly. But the more he laughed, the more he felt that his laughter was hollow and boring.
Not long after, he stopped his seemingly meaningless laughter, appeared outside the hall, and turned his gaze to the north.
"McLean... finally got it open."
According to Haierbo's research over the past two thousand years, he discovered that the end of the road that Kern took back then should be here.
"That's right, that night... what I felt was this kind of magic wave!"
As he said this, he found that his body was trembling slightly with excitement, but he didn't pay too much attention.
"Kern, I have been fully prepared for this day, and now... I'm here!"
Before he finished speaking, Haierbo disappeared from the spot silently.
…
"Huh? Those guys outside seem to have stopped?"
Sarah, who had been hiding in the small house in the town, suddenly felt that the riots of zombies outside gradually stopped, and the intensity of the attacks she withstood through the protection constructed through the formation formation also began to decrease significantly.
After hesitating for a moment, she gently opened the door with the remaining ten alchemy dolls and took a look outside the room.
Indeed, Sarah soon discovered that the originally extremely manic desire to attack the zombies was significantly reduced. It may even be because the long-term riot consumed too much of their power, and now they have become sluggish.
"Anyway, let's go back to Winchester first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she took out her broomstick and flew back, leaving the dozens of dolls running wildly on the ground, chasing after them from a distance.
A moment later, Sarah, who returned to the ancient city, saw that Safina and the others had also begun to complete the finishing work for this emergency resistance operation.
"Are you back?" Safina, who caught a glimpse of Sarah flying in from a distance, covered in black flames, ordered her men to clean up the living corpses while casually saying, "It seems you are quite lucky, at least you are fine. "
"I think so."
Sarah sat on the broom and giggled, without even a word of retort. After waving at Safina, she immediately went to the church.
Safina turned to look at her leaving figure and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
"I just went out for a trip and experienced a riot. Why do I seem to be a different person? What a strange guy."
"Maybe she has figured out something important," Hermione, who flew over from a short distance away, chatted up. "It's a bit like when I was in school, when I solved a certain problem, I felt a sudden enlightenment. .”
"Sorry, I didn't go to school." Safina said angrily, and then she said, "By the way, what did you say about Lovegood before? Is he awake? Hohenheim is now Erke has already entered!"
"oh!"
After she mentioned this, Hermione finally reacted.
"I almost forgot about these living corpses... Then I'll go back first and come out to help you later."
"No need to come," Safina waved her hand, "I am enough alone."
After saying that, she leaned over and rushed toward the group of living corpses still blocking the gap in the city wall below. She raised her hand and a large black flame spread out. When Hermione saw it, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and marveled secretly in her heart.
Nowadays, Safina's strength is such that people can't help but sigh every time they watch it.
However, the riot of living corpses has stopped now, and the defense pressure on the ancient city has suddenly decreased. Having Safina here is indeed enough.
Hermione shook her head, and quickly followed her instructions, turning her broom around and flying towards the church.
A few minutes later, when she entered the church and passed through the central hall, she discovered that Ron and the others who had usually gathered here to wait were no longer there. She immediately realized that everyone had probably told Sarah, who had just come back, about Luna, and by now they were all running to Luna's room.
Thinking of this, Hermione quickly walked towards the corridor and headed deeper.
"...What? Lovegood subdued that living corpse? What happened?"
Before she reached the door of Luna's room, she heard Sarah's surprised voice coming from inside.
