The castle is very close to the coast, and you can directly see the sea not far away from the balcony.
Although most areas of the Boiling Sea are shrouded in mist, the area around the island is not as hazy as other places. This is probably also related to the magic circle arranged by Edward.
Sophie leaned on the window sill, looking at the misty sky in the distance. Lonely thoughts came to her heart. Her mood suddenly became very bad. She didn't know what she should do. However, the knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Su
Fei straightened her hair that was messed up by the sea breeze, and then said: "Come in, the door is unlocked."
Edward took Jeff into the house, and then began to chat with Sophie
As soon as she saw Edward, most of the bad emotions in Sophie's heart disappeared. In fact, even if she was in a bad mood now, she would try to pretend to be happy. Maybe Edward was right, Sophie did have her own thoughts, at least she already had them.
human emotions
Some people think that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans understand love. Although Sophie doesn’t know what love feels like, she understands that Edward loves her as much as his own daughter. Sophie also likes to rely on Edward. From her perspective
From the moment you open your eyes, you will recognize that this person is your relative, so you cannot make him sad.
Edward looked at the well-behaved Sophie in front of him and smiled: "Sophie, don't you feel bored? Now we have guests from outside the island visiting us. This is Marquis Jeff, a guest from the Orc Kingdom. We haven't been out for several years.
Now that he's gone, you can ask him about things outside."
Sophie turned sideways and saw Jeff following Edward, and then smiled politely at him.
This gentle smile was so familiar. At that moment, Jeff almost thought he had seen the deceased Aunt Shen. Although he knew in his heart that Aunt Shen was gone, he was still absent-minded at that moment.
Seeing Sophie looking towards him, Jeff hurriedly saluted her with clumsy movements. Now Jeff suddenly felt that it was necessary to learn the etiquette of aristocrats, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. After saluting in a hurry, Jeff hurriedly greeted:
"Miss Sophie, please take care of me when we meet you for the first time."
Sophie smiled slightly and said: "I'm sorry, I don't understand your etiquette. I hope you can bear with me."
Jeff looked at Sophie's slightly apologetic smile and naturally didn't take it to heart. To be honest, if Edward hadn't told him in advance that Sophie was a golem, Jeff would definitely not have believed that this was true. He couldn't blame him.
Husband, it’s not that Jeff lacks judgment, but that Sophie is really too human. From appearance to speech and actions, Sophie is no different from humans. Especially her pair of brown eyes, which are so smart that even humans can’t match them.
When Edward looked at Sophie's expectant eyes, he knew that she especially wanted to know the outside world. After all, she had stayed here for too long. Sophie did not take the initiative to ask to go out. This made Edward very happy, but every time
Seeing Sophie's lonely look, Edward couldn't help but feel sad. Although this was for Sophie's safety, Edward still felt a little apologetic. Now that someone from outside finally came, he could accompany Sophie to relieve her boredom.
The magic circle has just been set up, and some other things need to be adjusted and prepared so that Jeff can hold him here and save him from being bored and tossing around.
Edward stroked Sophie's hair and said, "Sophie, you and Jeff are chatting here. I have some things to do, so I have to leave first."
Sophie nodded with a smile, told Edward not to be too tired, and then watched Edward leave.
Looking at the helpless Jeff in front of her, Sophie couldn't help but want to laugh, but considering that humans care about "face", Sophie held it back. Jeff also noticed his gaffe, so she could only scratch her head and giggle.
Got it
"Hi, Mr. Jeff, please find a place to sit down," Sophie took the initiative to speak.
Jeff found a chair and sat down. He sat there obediently like a primary school student, looking at Sophie in front of him.
Sophie couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Jeff, I haven't left here for a long time, can you tell me about the outside world?"
Jeff was naturally very happy to introduce Sophie. Although Edward threatened his life, it had nothing to do with Sophie. Although Sophie was just a puppet, Jeff did not treat her as a puppet because
His investigation just now has discovered that Sophie has soul fluctuations, and now he has regarded Sophie as a special and pitiful human being.
"Our country is at the northernmost tip of the entire continent. The climate there is not very good, and the land is also a little barren. It is rare to see scenes as prosperous as the human kingdom. Because the land is barren, everyone's life is not so good, but everyone
People are full of hope, so they live happily..." Jeff began to slowly tell Sophie about the Ren Empire. To be honest, although Jeff has been in another world for almost three years, he has spent almost all of his time there.
It’s from the Renn Empire, so he is most familiar with and has the most affection for this place, so naturally he has to start from here.
Although Jeff is not very good at telling stories, it is enough to deal with someone who has not had contact with the outside world for a long time. Moreover, what Jeff said is indeed what he thinks, and he is not dealing with Sophie.
In fact, Sophie didn't stay long when she went to the human kingdom last time, and nothing good happened there. She subconsciously didn't like the human kingdom and the orc kingdom was also a strange world to her, although she had been bored over the years.
She had read a lot of books about orcs at that time, but she felt that those books were all written by humans, and humans were so hypocritical and cunning, so the descriptions in them were naturally not that trustworthy. The orc young man in front of her said more, although
It's not that gorgeous, and although the scene he described is not that beautiful, it is enough to attract Sophie.
Jeff slowly talked about the various beautiful scenery he had seen, whether it was the desolation of the grassland in autumn or the blooming of the woodland in spring, which deeply attracted Sophie. Of course, these simple descriptions could not satisfy Sophie's thirst for knowledge.
Quickly Jeff began to tell his story under her questioning.
Of course, Jeff didn't mention that he was the son of a demon. After all, this thing is a bit weird. It is estimated that few people would believe it, and Jeff didn't want to mention the sad past again, so this experience naturally
I skipped the fact that in the story, Jeff directly arranged himself to be a human orphan adopted by an old orc priest. To be honest, Jeff really has a talent as a writer, at least as he said, it is difficult to find loopholes.
Sophie's expectant eyes completely betrayed her heart. It seemed that she had stayed here for too long and she was also very interested in Jeff's fate. Although she really didn't have a good impression of human beings, at least she was interested in it.
Jeff has no feeling of disgust. Apart from Edward, who is also a father and friend, Sophie has no other friends, so she naturally has a good impression of Jeff.
"Mr. Jeff, how do you know about our island?" Sophie became interested in Jeff's purpose.
Although Edward endangered his life, he still treated him well, so Jeff couldn't make it difficult for Sophie, so he had to lie and said that he was traveling around the world. In fact, this was not completely false.
In other words, from the cold wind and snow fields in the far north to the boiling sea, it is half a circle around the planet. It can be considered a trip around the world.
But he told a little lie, but Sophie believed it to be true. To be honest, Sophie, like many young people, yearned to see the outside world, so she almost immediately made her request: "Mr. Jeff
, if possible, can you take me with you to see the outside world?"
Facing Sophie's innocent look of expectation, Jeff finally understood the serious consequences of lying, but would he refuse Sophie's request? Ever since he knew the truth of the story, Jeff had felt some pity for Sophie's situation, so now he
Completely caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, Jeff felt that his life was in danger and might not leave the island. If he agreed, it would be a breach of trust. On the other hand, Jeff felt very sympathetic to Sophie's situation.
I really hope to fulfill her wish, but if she doesn’t agree, I will feel very sad.
After thinking about it, Jeff finally couldn't overcome Sophie's expectant eyes and couldn't help but nodded.
Seeing Sophie cheering like a child, Jeff didn't know what he was thinking. People have to have something to look forward to in life, at least there must be hope, otherwise there is really no need to live.
For the next time, Sophie was in an extremely happy mood. Even Jeff was infected and temporarily put aside his worries.
At this time, Edward was nervously modifying the magic circle. The mechanical arm beside him kept helping him deliver various materials and tools. The already formed magic circle also became more perfect with the modification, and the magic contained in the air
The energy was slowly aroused and began to operate regularly.
Edward looked at the magic circle in front of him, with a happy smile on his face. Only then did he take off the mask on his face and wipe the sweat from his face.
Fortunately, no one was in the basement, otherwise he would have been frightened by Edward's appearance. The Edward who showed his face at this time was like Arnold who had half of his appearance blown off in the Terminator, with his silver-white skeleton glowing fiercely.
Edward was obviously used to his body, and he immediately put the mask back on after wiping off his sweat.
As for the box, Edward tried his best and failed to open it, so he simply gave up trying.
Night falls, blackness covers the earth, and the light of the blood moon shines on the fog, making it look particularly eerie.
