Chapter 709: Won't Your Girlfriend Be Angry?
Matthew quickly calmed himself down.
"I can only say that your talent in magic is enough to make everyone envious."
Hibbert said indifferently,
"Are you envious? Perhaps, but I'm not happy."
Matthew could not help but retort,
"Unhappy people will never be happy at any time.
" Which do you think is happier, an unhappy ordinary person or an unhappy magic genius?"
Hearing this.
Hibbert's eyes were stunned, and then he looked apologetic.
"You're right. Maybe I'm too greedy.
"Life is filled with unhappiness. With such talent, I should have been more contented.
"Unfortunately, I can't control my brain.
"It has been torturing me, ordering me to think about those endless questions. This process really makes me feel pain.
" Sometimes, I even suspect that I'm not me anymore."
Matthew frowned.
"Why do you say that?"
Hibbert reminisced,
"Before I was 12 years old, I was still a carefree and smart child. At that time, I was very happy every day.
" 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.
" At that time, I enjoyed thinking.
" 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.
"Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if a powerful consciousness has awakened in my body.
"For example, the fallen Goddess of Magic?
"Was 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?
"The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this possibility was quite reasonable.
"Did you know?
"Ever since I awakened my powerful magic talent, everything I do is especially easy.
"Even when I encounter a difficult problem, I only need to stand in front of the problem, and it will automatically solve itself.
"Can you feel the pain?"
Matthew rubbed his temples.
"Sorry, I only feel a little pain when I can't learn spells.
" So, have you consulted any more powerful mages about whether there's a powerful existence hidden in your body?"
Hibbert nodded.
" I've asked many Legendary-mages.
" 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.
"Lady Isabelle told me that the Goddess of Magic's talent is far inferior to mine, so there's no need to worry about this.
"Mr. 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 don't have the consciousness of a strong person on me.
" Recently, I went to visit Mr. Chen again to ask for his opinion."
Matthew asked curiously,
"What did Chen say?"
Hibbert said seriously,
"He told me to eat sh * t."
Matthew almost laughed out loud.
However, Hibbert's next sentence made his scalp go numb.
" However, this doesn't solve the problem. I can only say that eating shit isn't as bad as I thought."
Matthew held his breath.
He couldn't help but cover his head with his hands.
This was too explosive...
He was feeling very complicated. He was envious of Hibbert's shocking magic talent, but he was also worried about Hibbert's mental state.
Matthew quickly changed the conversation.
" So you've been in Watcher Highland for a week?
"Did you find anything?"
Hibbert shook his head decisively.
"No, I haven't."
Matthew was puzzled.
"What have you been doing for the past week?"
Hibbert said calmly,
" 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."
Matthew was speechless.
As expected.
The Silver Council's worries were not without reason.
This guy might be a genius, but it was a fool's dream to expect him to solve the predicament of the Watcher Highland.
"Alright, then, continue to stay here. Don't wander around.
"I'll go nearby to gather some information."
Matthew coughed and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Hibbert pulled him back.
"There's no need to go. Just wait for the problem to resolve itself."
Matthew said in surprise,
"If we don't do anything, how can the problem solve itself?"
Hibbert explained,
"Didn't I tell you? Whenever I encounter a problem, it will automatically solve it. I just need to stay where I am and think.
"Don't look at this desert as desolate. Actually, the sand is soft and comfortable to lie on. Why don't you lie down with me for a while?
"Maybe the problem will be solved just by lying down."
Matthew laughed dryly.
"I'm sorry, but I have my own way of solving things."
Hibbert also released his hand.
"Alright then.
"Then I'll go with you."
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 people's eyes.
