[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

When the New Year was approaching, there was a heavy snowfall, and everything in Lozelling was covered in white snow.In an open space behind the village, the snow had been cleared away, and two figures came and went, fighting fiercely.

"Hey!" In the end, a young man among the two shouted loudly, held the opponent's long sword with a shield in one hand, tilted the shield, and clamped the sword with a clever force, and the long sword in the other hand drove straight in, grabbing the opponent's throat .Seeing that the point of the sword was about to touch his throat, the young man's face already showed excitement and nervousness, but Kelly suddenly turned back, and for some reason passed the long sword by a tiny margin.

"I lost." She withdrew the long sword sideways, did not continue, but directly admitted defeat, "Beautiful fight, Kavo."

She is now one of the best knights under the baron, and the one fighting her is Kavo, the youngest son of the Hawke family. He is not yet 14 years old, and he is the only one among the three children of the Hawke family who has not inherited magical talent.He curled his lips and said with a sullen face, "You didn't lose at all."

"I lost. The last blow just now was dodged with six points of force, not four points as agreed." Kelly said.

"You can knock me down with five points!"

"That's different." Kelly said with a smile, "I've agreed to fight you with a four-point force, and I have to abide by it. Otherwise, what's the point?" She sheathed her sword and patted Kawo on the shoulder. : "Okay, don't be so demanding on yourself, I was far worse than you when I was your age."

Kavor shrugged, but looked a little happier than before.In the first six months, Kelly has successively shared the knowledge that the world needs to know and the future plot with Bucky. They all know that Kavo has always been a little sensitive because he cannot learn magic. Both are excellent magicians, but he has been unable to find his own direction, so when the two of them guide Kavo, they will always encourage him.

"I heard from Maria that you guys quarreled again?" Kelly asked as the two walked back.After exchanging identities, the two families became very close. Kelly and Bucky often practiced with the three children of the Hawk family. Whether it was magic or martial arts, they had a lot to talk about, "You know, Kavo, Maria It's just her words are sharp, but she actually cares about you."

"Then you want to say that I shouldn't say that about her?" Kawo asked with a sullen face.

"I wouldn't say that, it's what your parents should say, and I'm stealing the show." Kelly smiled, "But really—Maria is your sister after all. You try not to take her Treat every sentence as a prelude to a quarrel with you, and if you understand it as she cares about you, maybe you will have another feeling?"

Kawo snorted: "Say it as if you understand duplicity."

Kelly burst out laughing, and Kavo's angry look reminded her of the picture of the skinny Steve wiping his nosebleed and saying "I can handle them myself" every time. "Oh, trust me, I've got a lot of experience."

Kawo gave her a suspicious look, but before he could ask, the two saw Bucky coming from the direction of the village with a serious expression on his face.She frowned slightly, and walked forward quickly: "What's wrong?"

"Hi sweetie." Bucky exchanged a quick eye contact and a smile with her as usual, and then turned to Kawau: "I think it's better for you to hurry back."

There was an unusual seriousness in his tone, and Kelly's heart sank.

"Malcolm?" she whispered, and Bucky nodded heavily.

When Malcolm was young, he traveled around the world, passing through many places, and even helped the gray robe guardian seal a demon.I don't know whether it was that time or when he was injured, causing a dark force lurking in his body, which has been slowly damaging his body for many years.Kelly had found out about it long ago, but Malcolm never took the initiative to talk about it, and out of respect for him, she didn't ask.In recent years, it seems that this force can no longer be suppressed, and suddenly broke out, causing Malcolm's physical condition to deteriorate sharply, and he has been sick in his 50s.

"What's the matter with father?" Kavo asked anxiously, while already striding forward, almost trotting towards the direction of the village.Kelly and Bucky followed him from left to right.

"Don't worry, Maria and Bethany are using creation magic to stabilize his condition. Maria said that Kelly will go back and work together, and he will definitely be able to turn the disease back." Bucky quickly comforted him, "You know, Kelly Li's attainments in medical magic are no worse than spirit healers."

In the magic system of this world, healing magic is classified as the creation department, and mages who study this direction more intensively are called spiritual healers, equivalent to St. Mungo's healers.Kelly nodded, stretched out her hand and gently pushed forward, the snow on the road was swept to both sides by an invisible force, revealing an easier path to walk.Kavo was startled and looked back at her.

"If anyone comes, Bucky and I will hear it," Kelly said.They quickened their pace and walked for a while, until they approached the village and the snow on the road was almost cleared away, and Kelly stopped her magic.The three of them walked quickly to Hawke's house. Kavo pushed the door open and rushed in. Kelly followed quickly, drawing out her wand as she walked.Maria and Bethany stood on both sides of the hospital bed, the staff in their hands shone with faint blue and green light - the green was emitted by the staff in Bethany's hand, she hadn't learned more advanced life protection, only Will low-level medical skills.The pair's mother, Leandra, wept.Kelly strode through the door, flicked her wand and poured several healing spells into Malcolm's body without stopping.She walked up to Bethany and stood still, putting one hand on her shoulder comfortingly, and the white light of a diagnostic spell in the other hand sank into Malcolm's chest.

Her heart sank.

The dark force in Malcolm's body has almost eroded his body, and the regeneration power of magic cannot match its destructive power. Now their healing spells are just a tug-of-war with it, and the time they can actually buy limited.Kelly shook her head to signal for Maria and Bethany, who were already turning pale, to stop. She raised her wand and hit Malcolm's chest.

"Rejuvenate." She said in a deep voice.

The spell was supposed to end like all Harry Potter world spells, with a beam of light hitting the other side.But the wand in Kelly's hand lit up with a continuous, continuous light blue light. The light seemed to have a shape, flowing and wrapping Malcolm's upper body. After a while, he sighed and opened his eyes. eyes.

The three children and Liandra immediately jumped on it.Malcolm raised his hand to hold Liandra's hand, which was already skinny and bony, "Don't cry, honey."

Leandra, weeping, took his hand with both of hers and put it to her lips to kiss.Then he turned to the three children: "Don't be afraid."

After briefly comforting his family, he looked up at Bucky who was standing by the bed, and Bucky nodded silently.Finally Malcolm turned his gaze to Kelly: "Thank you."

"I'm sorry I haven't felt the shadow barrier so far." Kelly whispered, "Maybe it's too late for me to give you an answer."

"Don't be sorry, magic is like this, full of unknown puzzles and mysterious power." Malcolm smiled calmly, "Isn't that what makes it so fascinating? I have encountered too many unknowns. I didn't What a pity."

Kelly nodded and smiled at him sadly: "Yes. I should thank you, thank you for showing me this brand new magic system." She said, "Do you want me to give you a little time? ?”

"Please," Malcolm said, and Kelly nodded, slowly raising her wand.

As she raised her wand, the light blue halo on Malcolm's body did not leave, but a slightly shiny filament pulled out from the tip of the wand, connecting the wand and the blue light on Malcolm's body.Kelly looked up at Maria: "Wait a minute and remember to put a soundproof spell on the door," she said.Otherwise, with her and Bucky's hearing, even outside the house, they could hear the conversation clearly, just like listening to the corner.

Maria nodded with tears in her eyes, Kelly and Bucky backed out, closed the door, and the long, shining blue silk thread on the tip of the wand passed through the crack of the door to the outside of the house, maintaining her spell.Bucky pulled her to sit on a chair in the living room, stood by the chair, and stretched out his arms to wrap her around her, while Kelly leaned her head towards him.

Four years of getting along, three and a half years of learning from each other, they are both teachers and friends. Although they are still friends, Kelly still respects and admires him very much.Bucky and the Hawke family are also good friends, especially with the three children who have already become one, even though the two of them have long known the upcoming separation, they still feel a little sad.

"You will always experience this kind of separation." She whispered, "Every time you leave a world, it is often a farewell to all the acquaintances here."

"But I won't leave," Bucky said, his voice as firm as the palm of his hand, "I'll be with you until the end, unless you ask me to leave."

"No," Kelly said, leaning against him and closing her eyes.I don't know if it was affected by the sentimental atmosphere in the room, these words seem to be easier to utter at this moment, "... Please never leave me."

"I never will," Bucky says, as firm as their wedding vows.
