Chapter 46: My Ophelia

After solving Pier, it was like solving the spiritual seeds in the body in the valley, Gong Hao removed a big hidden danger.

And with Pier's death, a huge vacuum of power and technology appeared in the Alchemy Castle.

Hines desperately needed an assistant who could help.

As expected, Gong Hao became the best choice. Whether it is judging from his relationship with the princess, or whether he helped Hines a big favor this time, or based on his own ability and wisdom, he deserves this reward.

Of course, Gong Hao replaced Andrew's position. As he expected, from that day on, all the servant's work was handed over to him. Andrew will replace Pier to manage the apprentice.

Although there are many top alchemy techniques, Hines, which are not open to Gong Hao, after all, Hines cannot trust Gong Hao as much as he trusts Andrew and Pier, but for most people, this is already a thousand times more grace.

As a lowly servant, after becoming an apprentice and becoming an assistant, it is already a very great thing for everyone to get to this point.

But for Gong Hao, with Pier's secretly kept record text and Electra's notes, he no longer had to consider the issue of top alchemy. After Pier's death, Gong Hao came to his room openly and took those things over.

So now he only needs to focus on the research of space magic.

When it was late at night, he would secretly study wind and soul spells. He would seize the time to learn more about the mystery of magic before Avril left, otherwise it would be difficult for him to get guidance after Clos followed him away. As for Padgett, he directly asked the earth warrior for some basic experience of samurai practice and a manual, and planned to practice in the future.

Under the guidance of Klos, he can now master the four basic spells of the wind system and two basic spells of the soul system.

Of course, except for Lancelot, no one knew that he could magic. Even Lancelot only knew that he knew such a little basic spell. Well, isn't this what every alchemist should master?

For Gong Hao, there is no distinction between good and bad in magic, only those who use it can distinguish good and evil. On this island where life is in danger, let alone taboo magic, even if he is allowed to sleep with the undead puppet every day, and be criticized by thousands of people and chased by the world, he will not hesitate at all.

To his surprise, alchemy did have a very obvious effect on him improving his magic power. When he consciously used his magic power to integrate into alchemy, he could clearly feel the obvious increase in his magic power.

This kind of magic power may not increase faster than meditation, but for ordinary people who do not have magical talents, it is equivalent to having a shortcut to becoming a magician. Gong Hao does not have talent in soul spells, but he can fully exercise his corresponding sensing ability by making the soul magic beads needed for flesh and blood puppets.

Since his main energy is concentrated on alchemy, the result is that although he has the induction talent of wind element, in fact, his soul spell improvement in later stages is even faster than wind spells.

Gong Hao felt that if this continues, he might not have become a wind wizard, but he would have become a soul wizard first, although his talent for wind element is far stronger than soul wizard.

Fate always likes to tease people, and this situation is really ridiculous.

On the sixth day after Pier's death, Avril finally came to the day to leave.

Although she had already understood her feelings for Gong Hao, she had no right to take Gong Hao away. Pier's death made Gong Hao's status even more important, and Hines could not bear the price of losing an excellent apprentice and new assistant, and the empire could not bear such losses.

The fables, fairy tales, and legends that Gong Hao told her also made the princess gradually understand the right and wrong of people and understand many principles. She no longer gets angry easily, and is willful at least in front of Gong Hao.

The night before leaving, Avril was lying on the bed, leaning against Gong Hao by the bed. She was half snuggling in Gong Hao's arms and listening to Gong Hao tell her the final story Hamlet.

Hamlet is a later work by Shakespeare. Although Romeo and Juliet are more famous than it, Hamlet is more outstanding in terms of artistic value, philosophical perspective and social cognition.

The story is actually very simple. The simple prince of revenge, the sinister usurpation king, the innocent infatuated girl, and the ministers with ulterior motives, perform a life tragedy and comedy in the palace fighting scenes. In the end, everyone died together, creating the most famous tragedy in history.

Shakespeare expressed the idea of ​​revenge endlessly in the simplest and clearest way.

He believes that forgiveness is a virtue.

"What a noble act that is forgiving what others cannot forgive!"

This is exactly what Shakespeare said.

“Survival or destruction is a must-answer question;

Should we silently endure the ruthless blow of harsh fate?

Or should we become enemies of the endless suffering as deep as the sea,

And overcome it.

Which of these two choices is more noble?

Death is sleep, it is just that!

If a sleep can conquer the pain of the mind and the suffering of the body,

Then, this ending is hopeful!

Dead, go to sleep...

But there may be dreams in sleep, ah, this is an obstacle;

When we get rid of this dying skin,

What dreams will come in the long sleep of death?

It makes us hesitate,

Let us willingly endure long-term disasters,

Otherwise, who would tolerate all kinds of torture in the world?

Such as the politics of a tyrant, the pride of a proud person, the pain of a broken heart, the arrogance of a law, the insult of corrupt officials, or the humiliation of a mediocre person,

What if he could simply kill it?

Who else would be willing to be a cow and a horse, and be exhausted and exhausted throughout his life?

Silently endure the suffering and difficulties, and not fly far away, floating in the vast realm,

What if he hadn't hesitated because of fear of what was behind him?

This state is a country that no one knows, and no one has returned since ancient times.

Therefore, rational intelligence makes us cowards,

And concerns can make our originally brilliant minds dull and look like sick men.

Furthermore, these can ruin big things and make them lose their courage."

In the room, Gong Hao gently recited this classic line that has been sung for a hundred years in Hamlet, and read the blessing of college life. This is a classic passage that a few indulgent college students often use in courtships. Gong Hao was unable to avoid the vulgarity and could reproduce it at this moment. The same thing is the dialogue between Romeo and Juliet in the small jungle. He really could not record all the dialogues intact, which he would never be able to do.

"What a sad and moving love story. Xiuyi, why do people take revenge?" Avril asked.

"Because they have hatred in their hearts."

"Then why do people have love again?"

"Because they also have love in their hearts."

“Which one is more serious, love or hate?”

Gong Hao hesitated for a moment, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I know that love or hatred is not unreasonable. Everything happens naturally, it has its cause and effect, but we can't find it."

Avril thought for a while and snuggled up to Gong Hao even tighter: "I don't like this story, Xiu Yi, it's so sad. At least Romeo and Juliet died for love, and at least they died together. But Hamlet and Ophelia were not together. He drove her crazy, and he made her die... I hate him, I hate Hamlet, he is a lunatic who only knows revenge, and ignores the value of his lover around him."

"You're right, Avril, no one can hurt the person they love like this, but some things are always done. Perhaps, they are just a difference in the limits."

"So if you were Hamlet, would you take revenge?"

"Hamlet insists on revenge because Claudi wants to kill him and eliminate future troubles. He himself has hesitated about revenge. If I were Hamlet, for the sake of the woman I love, I could not avenge Claudi, but only if he had to guarantee that he would not attack me."

Avril nodded as if he understood.

She didn't know that the reason Gong Hao told her this story today was not to promote forgiveness and promote kindness.

Because in the real Hamlet story, Hamlet's fiancee is not the daughter of Claudi, the object he wants to avenge, but at this moment, in Gong Hao's account, he deliberately changed it to Ophelia, the daughter of Claudi, the usurpation king, which makes the story more and more similar to the situation between Gong Hao and Avril, but the little princess herself will not understand it for the time being.

But at some point in the future, she will understand everything.

And this is what Gong Hao wants to tell her.

One answer, one answer that advances to Avril.

Gong Hao didn't know why he did this. Subconsciously, he thought he wouldn't fall in love with this little girl. He just kept using her, but deep down he always felt a vague uneasiness. That's why he told this adapted story, hoping that Avril would understand something by then.

In other words, I care about her feelings? Gong Hao was a little uncertain.

After the discussion, Gong Hao said, "Okay, Avril, it's time for you to rest. Go to bed early."

"Okay." The little princess lay back in the quilt unwillingly. Tears were still hanging on her face.

The tears at this time were still shed for Ophelia, a girl who died innocently in the battle between her lover and her father.

The next morning, Avril returned to the dragon boat.

She shed tears again before boarding the boat, and the tears at this moment were shedding for the boy she was about to leave the boy she had truly fallen in love with.

The moment she got on the boat, she suddenly became impulsive in Gong Hao's arms and wrote a kiss on his face.

A long wet kiss full of girlish passion and tenderness was imprinted on Gong Hao's lips.

This kiss scared everyone down and they didn't dare to look up.

During last year's farewell, the little princess shocked everyone with the guardian knight.

This year, the little princess used her first kiss to announce that her heart had been completely occupied by Shuiglair.

When she left, all the servants, warriors, maids, mages, and housekeepers looked at Shu Iglare with magical colors.

Only Gong Hao himself was unmoved at all.

His heart is as rocky as a rock.
