Chapter 46: My Ophelia

Resolving Pierre is like resolving the spiritual species in the body in the valley, and Gong Hao removes a big hidden danger.
And with Piere's death, a huge vacuum of power and technology emerged in the Alchemy Castle.
Hines desperately needed an assistant who could help.
Not surprisingly, Gong Hao became the best choice, no matter from the relationship between him and the princess, or from the fact that he helped Hines this time, it must be expressed, or from his own ability Starting with wisdom, he deserves this reward.
Of course, Gong Hao replaced Andrew's position. As he had expected, from this day on, all the work of the servants was entrusted to him. Andrew will succeed Pierre in managing the apprenticeship.
Although there are many top alchemy Hines that are not open to Gong Hao, after all, Hines cannot trust Gong Hao as much as Andrew and Pie, but for most people, this is already a thousand times. Grace.
As a lowly servant, after becoming an apprentice, and then an assistant, it is already a great thing for everyone to be able to come to this step.
Only for Gong Hao, with the secretly recorded texts of Piet and that of Electra's notes, he no longer needs to consider the problem of top alchemy. After Piere died, Gong Hao came to his place with great integrity. Room, take those things over.
So now he only needs to focus on the research of space magic.
When the night is still quiet, he will secretly study the wind system and soul spells. He must seize the time to learn more about the mysteries of magic before Avril leaves, otherwise, after Clos follows, it is difficult for him to get instructions. As for Padgett, he went directly to this earth warrior and asked for some basic experience and a manual of samurai cultivation, and he plans to practice it later.
Under the guidance of Clos, he can now master four basic spells of the wind system and two basic spells of the soul system.
Of course, no one except Lancelot knew he would be magical. Even Lancelot only knew that he would have a little basic magic. Well, isn't this something that every alchemist should master?
For Gong Hao, magic is not good or bad, only those who use it are divided into good and evil. On this island where life is on the verge of death, let alone a taboo spell, even if you let him sleep with the undead every day, and let Qianfu point and be chased by the world, he will not hesitate at all.
To his surprise, alchemy did have a fairly obvious effect on his magic. When he consciously uses magic to integrate into alchemy, he can clearly feel the obvious increase in his magic.
This magic growth may not be faster than meditation, but for ordinary people without magical talents, it is equivalent to really having a shortcut to become a magician. Gong Hao does not have talent in soul spells, but he can fully exercise his corresponding induction ability by making soul beads required for flesh and blood.
Because his main energy was focused on alchemy, the result was that although he had the induction talent of wind elements, in fact, his later improvement in soul spells was faster than wind spells.
Gong Hao thinks that if he continues this way, I am afraid he has not yet become a wind mage. He will become a soul mage first, although his talent in wind element is far stronger than soul talent.
Destiny always likes to make fun of people.
On the sixth day after Pier's death, Avril finally arrived.
Although she had understood her feelings for Gong Hao, she had no power to take Gong Hao after all. Pierce's death made Gong Hao's status even more important, and Hines couldn't afford the loss of an excellent apprentice and new assistant, and the empire couldn't afford such a loss.
The fables, fairy tales, and legendary stories that Gong Hao told her also made the princess gradually understand the right and wrong of the people, and understood many truths. Make her no longer angry easily, at least in front of Gong Hao.
The night before leaving, Avril lay in bed, leaning against Gong Hao by the bed. She was half asleep in Gong Hao's arms, listening to Gong Hao tell her the final story of Hamlet.
Hamlet is a later work of Shakespeare. Although Romeo and Juliet may be more famous than it, Hamlet is more outstanding in terms of artistic value, philosophical perspective and social awareness.
The story is actually very simple. The simple vengeance prince, the sinister usurper king, the innocent and infatuated girl, and the speculative ministers, one by one the court-fighting drama performed a tragic comedy of life. One of the most famous tragedies in history.
Shakespeare expressed the never-ending idea of ​​revenge in the simplest and clearest way.
He sees forgiveness as a virtue.
"What a noble act to forgive others cannot forgive!"
This is exactly what Shakespeare was saying.
"Survival or destruction is a question that must be answered;
Should we endure the relentless blow of the rough fate,
Still, we should fight against the endless sufferings as deep as the sea,
And overcome it.
Which of these two choices is more noble?
Sleep when you die, it's just that!
If a sleep can end the sufferings of the soul and the sufferings of the flesh,
Well, this ending is to be expected!
Die, sleep ...
But there may be dreams in sleep, ah, this is a hindrance;
When we get rid of this dying skin,
What dreams will come in the doom of death?
It makes us stingy,
Make us willing to endure the disaster for many years,
Otherwise, who will tolerate all kinds of torture on earth,
Such as the politics of a tyrant, the pride of pride, the pain of being broken, the slowness of laws, the insult of corrupt officials, or the humiliation of the common people,
What if he could simply wipe it out?
Who else would be willing to be a cow or a horse, tired from exhaustion all his life,
Silently endure their sufferings, and not go far away, floating in a distant realm,
What if he didn't hesitate because of fear behind him?
This state is an unknown state, and no one has returned since ancient times.
Therefore, reason makes us cowards,
And anxiety can make our original glorious mind dull, like a sick man.
In addition, these things can be worse and cause more chaos and make them lose their courage. "
In the room, Gong Hao whispered a few hundred years of classic lines sung in Hamlet, and blessed his college career. This is a classic passage often used by a few sultry college students in courtship. It reproduced. The same is the dialogue between Romeo and Juliet in the jungle. It really made him keep a complete record of all the dialogues, then he could never do it.
"It's a beautiful and touching love story. Xiu Yi, why do people have revenge?" Ai Weier asked.
"Because they have hatred in their hearts."
"Then why do people have love again?"
"Because they have love in their hearts."
"Which is more important, love or hate?"
Gong Hao hesitated for a moment. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I know that whether it is love or hate, there is no reason. Everything happens, naturally it has its cause and effect, but we cannot find it. "
Ai Weier thought for a while, and converted to Gong Hao even tighter: "I don't like this story, Xiu Yi, it's too sad. At least Romeo and Juliet died for love, at least they died together. But Hamlet and Austria Philia was not together. He drove her crazy, he let her die ... I hate him, I hate Hamlet, he is a lunatic who only knows revenge, and ignores the value of his lover. "
"You're right, Avril. No one can hurt the one they love, but there are always things to do. Maybe, it's just the limits."
"So if you were Hamlet, would you revenge resolutely?"
"Hamlet insisted on revenge because Claudy wanted to kill him and never suffer from it, and he himself hesitated about the problem of revenge. If I were Hamlet, for the woman I love, I can't go to Claudy Revenge, but only if he promises not to take action against me. "
Avril nodded her head.
She didn't know that the reason why Gong Hao told this story to herself today was not to promote forgiveness and promote kindness.
Because in the real Hamlet story, Hamlet ’s fiancee is not the daughter of Claudy, the object of his revenge, but this moment in Gong Hao ’s account, he deliberately changed to Ophelia is Claudi ’s usurper The daughter of the king, which makes the story more similar to the situation between Gong Hao and Avril, but the little princess herself will not understand 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.
An answer, an answer advanced to Avril.
Gong Hao didn't know why he did this. Subconsciously, he thought he would not fall in love with this little girl. He just used her all the time, but deep down, he always had a kind of vague anxiety. That's why he told this adapted story, in hopes that Avril can understand.
In other words, do you care about her feelings? Gong Hao is somewhat uncertain.
After the discussion, Gong Hao said, "Okay, Avril, you should rest. Go to bed early."
"Okay." The little princess lay back unconsciously into the bed. There were still tears on her face.
The tears at this time still shed for Ophelia, a young girl who died innocently in the battle between her lover and her father.
Early the next morning, Avril returned to the dragon boat.
She shed tears again before boarding the boat. The tears at this time were for the boy who was about to leave and he had truly fallen in love.
The moment before she got on the ship, she suddenly impulse Gong Hao's arms and stamped a kiss on his face.
A wet, long kiss full of the girl's fiery tenderness was printed on Gong Hao's lips.
The kiss frightened everyone down their heads and dared not look up.
Last year's departure, the little princess shocked everyone with the guardian knight.
This year, the little princess announced with her first kiss that her heart was completely occupied by Hugh Iglell.
When she left, all the servants, warriors, maids, mages, and housekeepers, the eyes of Xiu Yierer were already full of magic.
Only Gong Hao was unmoved.
His heart is like a rock.
Gong Hao murmured looking at the distant Wang Chuan, "Go all the way, mine ... Ophelia. This may be our last meeting."
