Chapter 709: Wonât Your Girlfriend Be Angry?
Translator: Lonelytree
Matthew quickly calmed himself down.
âI can only say that your talent in magic is enough to make everyone envious.â
Hibbert said indifferently,
âAre you envious? Perhaps, but Iâm not happy.â
Matthew could not help but retort,
âUnhappy people will never be happy at any time.
â Which do you think is happier, an unhappy ordinary person or an unhappy magic genius?â
Hearing this.
Hibbertâs eyes were stunned, and then he looked apologetic.
âYouâre right. Maybe Iâm too greedy.
âLife is filled with unhappiness. With such talent, I should have been more contented.
âUnfortunately, I canât control my brain.
âIt has been torturing me, ordering me to think about those endless questions. This process really makes me feel pain.
â Sometimes, I even suspect that Iâm not me anymore.â
Matthew frowned.
âWhy do you say that?â
Hibbert reminisced,
âBefore I was 12 years old, I was still a carefree and smart child. At that time, I was very happy every day.
â At that time, I would think about the birds in the sky, the shells on the beach, and why adults made love. But I would never be as confused as I am now.
â At that time, I enjoyed thinking.
â But after the magic entrance exam when I was 12 years old, my magic talent was completely awakened. After that, my brain seemed to be occupied by someone else. Sometimes, I was muddleheaded, and sometimes, I was extremely awake.
âSometimes, I canât help but wonder if a powerful consciousness has awakened in my body.
âFor example, the fallen Goddess of Magic?
âWas she the one who gave me such a powerful magic talent and secretly hid it in my body, ready to replace me at any time?
âThe more I thought about it, the more I felt that this possibility was quite reasonable.
âDid you know?
âEver since I awakened my powerful magic talent, everything I do is especially easy.
âEven when I encounter a difficult problem, I only need to stand in front of the problem, and it will automatically solve itself.
âCan you feel the pain?â
Matthew rubbed his temples.
âSorry, I only feel a little pain when I canât learn spells.
â So, have you consulted any more powerful mages about whether thereâs a powerful existence hidden in your body?â
Hibbert nodded.
â Iâve asked many Legendary-mages.
â Mr. Edmond believes that too much meaningless thinking has caused me to lose the ability to distinguish between illusion and reality. He wants me to practice meditation more and clear my mind.
âLady Isabelle told me that the Goddess of Magicâs talent is far inferior to mine, so thereâs no need to worry about this.
âMr. Roderick told me that he saw my trajectory in the River of Fate. I will walk very far and leave my own mark in this time and space, so I definitely donât have the consciousness of a strong person on me.
â Recently, I went to visit Mr. Chen again to ask for his opinion.â
Matthew asked curiously,
âWhat did Chen say?â
Hibbert said seriously,
âHe told me to eat sh * t.â
Matthew almost laughed out loud.
However, Hibbertâs next sentence made his scalp go numb.
â However, this doesnât solve the problem. I can only say that eating shit isnât as bad as I thought.â
Matthew held his breath.
He couldnât help but cover his head with his hands.
This was too explosiveâŠ
He was feeling very complicated. He was envious of Hibbertâs shocking magic talent, but he was also worried about Hibbertâs mental state.
Matthew quickly changed the conversation.
â So youâve been in Watcher Highland for a week?
âDid you find anything?â
Hibbert shook his head decisively.
âNo, I havenât.â
Matthew was puzzled.
âWhat have you been doing for the past week?â
Hibbert said calmly,
â I stayed in the square where you found me. Sometimes I sat on the ground, sometimes I sat on a chair, and most of the time I lay on a chair and looked at the sky.â
Matthew was speechless.
As expected.
The Silver Councilâs worries were not without reason.
This guy might be a genius, but it was a foolâs dream to expect him to solve the predicament of the Watcher Highland.
âAlright, then, continue to stay here. Donât wander around.
âIâll go nearby to gather some information.â
Matthew coughed and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Hibbert pulled him back.
âThereâs no need to go. Just wait for the problem to resolve itself.â
Matthew said in surprise,
âIf we donât do anything, how can the problem solve itself?â
Hibbert explained,
âDidnât I tell you? Whenever I encounter a problem, it will automatically solve it. I just need to stay where I am and think.
âDonât look at this desert as desolate. Actually, the sand is soft and comfortable to lie on. Why donât you lie down with me for a while?
âMaybe the problem will be solved just by lying down.â
Matthew laughed dryly.
âIâm sorry, but I have my own way of solving things.â
Hibbert also released his hand.
âAlright then.
âThen Iâll go with you.â
However, just as he finished speaking.
A red light flashed, and a portal appeared in the sky above the desert. A female mage walked out of the portal in a hurry.
She was wearing a short robe that accentuated her lines, and her pair of white legs were so dazzling that it hurt peopleâs eyes.
