When angel returned to the magic island, Barbara, coudou and Rococo had gathered on the beach outside the island.
"You came quite quickly." Angel smiled and said that the news he sent to them after he came out of the Prometheus alchemy store was no more than 20 minutes now. The three of them arrived. It's not unpleasant.
"Adults call, how dare we neglect." It was Barbara who spoke. Her expression was solemn and serious, which was completely different from the cunning girl at the beginning.
"Come in with me." Angel stepped forward, even if he didn't have a gold coin certificate, but as long as he passed by, the trees would be separated automatically.
Angel was also watching the three of them as they walked from the periphery of the magic island to the center.
Ku Doudou is dressed in a green leaf robe. Because of his racial talent, he is flexible and agile. He is as fast as a meteor. He pauses on the leaves from time to time, and the naked eye can only see green shadows.
Rococo's hand was holding a brown spotted mushroom umbrella cap, which rippled leisurely in the air. When the speed was a little slow, he just needed to hit the umbrella cap against the surrounding trunk and immediately pop up dozens of meters away.
Barbara is the most common. She runs directly on the ground, her upper body does not move, and her legs are like adding a motor, showing a phantom state.
These three little guys, however, have undergone earth shaking changes in a short time.
Not only from their running posture, but also from their expressions. Although Ku Doudou's expression is still dull and simple, when he looks carefully, his eyes are very flexible and full of ingenuity.
Rococo's change is a little small. She is still the girl immersed in her own world. However, Rococo is a little more confident than she was a little timid at the beginning.
The biggest change is undoubtedly Barbara.
At the beginning, angel chose to tell Barbara about the "soul bead" alone because he could see that Barbara was the one who could shoulder the heavy responsibility. Facts show that he is right. Barbara's growth is extremely fast. Among the three, only Barbara entered the door. Although she has not yet reached the first-class apprenticeship, it is not far away.
Although Barbara's expression from beginning to end is very calm, angel can feel a force from inside to outside from her. This power is called perseverance.
Over time, Barbara may be the next nausica.
When they came to the central manor, angel slowed down and motioned the three to stop.
"I didn't just ask you to visit your relatives this time. I have something to tell you." Angel looked at them.
Because the greenhouse is not far away, Rococo shows an expression of urgency, while Ku Doudou looks at Barbara, who holds her head up and calmly looks at angel.
"I'm going to leave here and return to my hometown, the old land."
In the puzzled expression of the three, angel continued: "except the three of you, the other kurakuka are not suitable to stay in the wizard world, so I will take them away."
After hearing angel's words, Rococo immediately worried: "my Lord, what about my mother?"
But Ku Doudou said, "why can't you stay here? The environment here is very suitable for them?"
Barbara scolded them both: "listen to adults, what are you talking about!"
Angel first looked at kudoudou: "the environment here is really good and suitable for the survival and reproduction of the kulakuka nationality, but don't forget that they can get today's stability because this is the territory of my mentor. My mentor has no problem taking in the kulakuka nationality for a while, but it's impossible to take them in for a lifetime."
"If you drive the kulakuka out of the magic island, do you think they can survive in the wizard world? Don't forget, why did your family almost exterminate thousands of years ago?"
"So I took them back to the old land because there were no extraordinary people there and my relatives took care of them. This is the best choice for them."
Seeing that Ku Doudou fell into thinking, angel slowly turned to Rococo, "how your relatives arrange is the purpose for me to bring you here today."
"Once you become an apprentice, you will have the ability to gain a foothold in the wizard world. Therefore, you can protect your relatives alone. Therefore, you can now choose to protect your relatives yourself, or I can take your relatives and go to the old land with the big army."
When Angel finished, he shook his hand and waited for their answer.
"I want my parents to stay." Rococo answered almost instantaneously.
Ku Doudou hesitated: "if they stay here and have no friends, will they be very lonely?"
"Whether you are lonely or not depends on whether you want to accompany them. However, your practice is doomed to run counter to them, and you can't stay with them forever. One day, the banquet will end." As angel said this, the shadow of his brother Lyon and mentor Jon flashed in his mind.
Kudoudou hesitated even more, and there was a tangle on Rococo.
Angel: "in the extraordinary world, distance is not a problem. You can go to see them when you have achieved success. If you can protect one side, there is no problem taking them away."
Angel's words brightened kudoudou's eyes. Indeed, the more you understand the wizard world, the more you understand how magical the world is. His parents are also very young. If he can practice like angel for several years, he will reach the height of level III apprenticeship, where can he go? It's just a small matter to visit your parents in the old land.
Thinking of this, Ku Doudou said, "Sir, my relatives please. I will communicate with them later. When I have achieved success in cultivation, I will visit him."
Kudoudou has made a decision. Although Rococo is excited, he is still hesitant. In fact, she really wants her parents to stay with her. After all, in this dangerous world, only parents are the harbor of the soul.
Rococo: "wait until I discuss it with my parents, OK?"
"Yes."
Angel answered Rococo and finally looked at Barbara.
Barbara is the most tangled of the three. There is only one of her relatives, her grandmother. Her grandmother is old and in poor health. It's too difficult for her to see her when she has achieved success in practice. Maybe she passed away in a few years. There's no chance to see her.
Others knew about Barbara's situation and were all silent. In particular, Ku Doudou, who secretly admired Barbara, had a worried look in his eyes and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"It's not good for your grandmother to travel long distances. Just leave her with you." Angel also felt a little unbearable. He knew that Barbara and her grandmother depended on each other. At first, Barbara's grandmother was not selected. It was also Barbara's longing for angel that gave them a chance to reunite. Now we have to separate them. If Angel stood in Barbara's position, he probably wouldn't want to.
A son who wants to raise but doesn't wait for his parents will become a lifelong regret.
Barbara's throat moved and her mouth opened slightly, but she couldn't say anything.
"Well, it's not too late to go to the flower house and see your relatives before making a decision." Angel said and turned to the flower house.
When Barbara and her family met in the flower house, angel leaned against the milk fruit tree outside. In her nose was a beautiful and happy milk fragrance, long and wind, and her mood was slowly fluttering.
The more I want to go home, the more I want to return. The sealed memory boxes were opened one by one, and the happy past was still fresh in my mind.
As angel relishes the past, a strong fragrance comes over.
Angel looked up and found a slim figure of pinting coming slowly.
"Lord Gloria?" Angel shook his head. "No, it's a mirage... Eh, this is a food mirage?"
Greya in the mirage came to Angel: "why, do you think only you can do magic?"
Angel scratched the back of his head: "I didn't expect that the food mirage could also be controlled. I thought it was random."
Greya spat, "I heard you're leaving?"
"Yes." Angel nodded.
"That's just right. I cooked a rare meal today. I'll practice it for you." Greya said, "don't worry, it's not included in your three golden card VIP dishes, because the materials are also the ingredients of your magic island. Remember later. By the way, call Toby."
After greya said that, her body slowly disappeared, and the mirage completely turned into nothingness.
Not long after greya left, Barbara came out of the greenhouse alone.
Angel looked up. There was still a parting atmosphere in the flower house, and grandma Barbara looked out of her small room.
Angel: have you made a decision
Barbara was silent for a long time before she said, "Lord angel, can you tell me how long grandma's body can support?"
The last time she took Barbara's grandmother away, angel helped her regulate her body, but even so, her body won't last long.
"If there is no accident, five or six years. This is the limit." Angel said.
Hearing this answer, Barbara's tears swirled in her eyes, and her body trembled slightly and kept sucking into her nose. After a while, he raised his head with red eyes and said, "five years! Give me five years!"
"Within five years, I will go to the old land to find grandma and extend her life! I have heard the story of Lord angel. Since adults can do it, I can do it!"
When she said this, Barbara's tears stopped suddenly, and her expression returned to normal, but the stubbornness in her eyes did not disappear: "Lord angel, please take my grandmother away, and I will find her."
Angel took a deep look at her and gently aroused a smile when Barbara calmed her breath.
"Yes."
In this cruel world, witches can only learn to be strong if they don't want to depend on others. Barbara and Rococo are two extremes. Rococo still has the mentality of a little daughter, while Barbara grows up slowly.
Even though she was small, her heart was countless times bigger than Rococo.
In Barbara, angel saw the quality of a qualified witch.
