The so-called Guardian, as the name suggested, was a person who protected something or someone.
However, to become a Guardian of a family, the conditions were very strict. The Guardian had to be absolutely trustworthy, and under the restrictions of the contract, the Guardian would receive a lot of support.
This support varied, depending on what kind of family the Guardian was protecting. For example, in a family like Jon's, although there were no two people, there was a legendary Wizard who still existed in the world. Stephen was bound to be supported to become a top Sage Wizard.
Only the ignorant would be indifferent. Now that Stephen had come into contact with too much content, he naturally knew what Helga's invitation meant.
"This … founder, this is not appropriate, right?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Since I said this, I naturally have the ability to make it happen. Now, you are the most suitable person. As long as you agree, I can let Jon sign a contract with you."
"I want to think about it, is that okay?"
Stephen didn't get carried away by the sudden good news, and Helga didn't feel unhappy about Stephen's refusal.
"Of course, when you have thought about it, just tell Jon directly. Good night, Mr. Statham."
The purple figure dissipated in space with a soft "pop" sound. Stephen lay on the bed weakly and let out a long sigh.
Talking to such an existence was too much of a test of one's willpower.
After a long while, he stared at the ceiling and reached out his hand.
"A Guardian …"
…
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Demonic Fairy Castle, garden.
Jon sat on a stone suspended in mid-air, looking at Helga in front of him in surprise.
Jon thought about the matter of being a Guardian earlier than Helga because he was the one who knew his own character best, so naturally, he also knew that when his studies here were over, he would inevitably leave England to start his own path of magic.
At that time, he would always need someone to protect his family.
Helga rarely appeared by his side now. Although it seemed to be a lot better and could descend to reality, from another point of view, the frequency of Helga's appearance had decreased too much.
Otherwise, he would not have put the [Deep Blue Sea] mark on Jon in such a tight situation last time.
This matter was not said on the surface, but Jon and Helga were well aware of it.
"I didn't want to be in such a hurry, but recently, my soul has begun to show signs of absent-mindedness, so I have to make some preparations in advance."
Helga's face showed a rare worried expression, and even Jon was nervous.
During this period of time, apart from learning Memory Magic, [Mind Capture], and [Brain Seal], Chown had been cramming the knowledge that Helga had instilled into his soul. Although he wasn't proficient in it, he still knew what it meant to be absent-minded.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with Helga.
. but something was wrong with the Demonic Immortal Castle.
According to the normal process, a space like the Demonic Immortal Castle could be promoted to a prototype world with the help of Loina, which was already the result of more than a thousand years of accumulation. Even if it took advantage of the rebound of the world's magic, it should not have experienced any big movements. However, Helga not long ago, because of Jon, made a big move in the Demonic Immortal Castle.
The arrival of the will of the [Deep Blue Sea] itself was a considerable burden for a prototype world like the Demonic Immortal Castle that had not yet grown up, so when the will came, it was spontaneously resisted by the space.
At that time, Helga used her identity as the space controller and creator to interfere with the self-defense of the Demonic Immortal Castle and let the will of the [Deep Blue Sea] in. In fact, she was "pulling up the seedlings to help them grow" in the entire space. Under such circumstances, the Demonic Immortal Castle would automatically restore its own energy reserves to adapt to the level after being pulled up.
Helga previously estimated that the progress of the transformation of the Demonic Immortal Castle into a world was about 30%. After the last time, the world had now reached 60%. Because of this, she had now stopped her research on the soul, and the essence of the soul left before was directly added to her own soul.
There was no need. When the evolution of the Demonic Immortal Castle was completed, which would probably take more than ten years, depending on the speed of the recovery of the magic of the main world, this derivative world would naturally connect to the [Deep Blue Sea] and obtain a new soul born from the deep sea.
But now, Helga's situation was not very good.
Her soul was fixed in the space of the Demonic Immortal Castle, and when the space changed, the first thing to be affected was Helga's soul itself.
Whether it was absent-mindedness or forgetfulness, these were the aftereffects of overexerting herself before, and now she must bear the consequences.
Chown couldn't do anything about it. After all, it was all because of him that things turned out this way.
"This is actually a good thing. If it weren't for you, I might never have come to this step. Maybe I would still be in that unchanging space, watching the students leave one after another."
Jon smiled silently. Helga's comfort was one thing, and his own consideration was another.
"If you fall into a deep sleep this time, how long will it take for you to wake up?"
Helga shrugged her shoulders. "Who knows, if it's long, three to five years. After all, the Demonic Immortal Castle will also evolve when I'm asleep, right?"
"Ancestor, I'm very nervous when you're not here."
Jon put on a difficult expression, but unfortunately, Helga did not care at all.
It was not the first time they had met, and so many things had been experienced. Compared to parents, Jon's relationship with Helga was even closer, more like a family.
So, there was no need to hide from his family.
"When you first entered the school, if you didn't meet me, your current achievements would not be too bad."
Helga told the truth, and in this matter, she was also telling the truth.
Jon was very talented. Even without her teaching, Jon's progress in learning those spells might not be much worse than his current progress.
"I've already explained everything. I think Stephen should agree to become a guardian, so you have to prepare the contract in advance."
Jon nodded. Helga had already given him the method to enter the Demonic Immortal Castle. After he advanced to become an "instructor", Helga had already prepared the following lessons for him. Now, with this contract, there was basically nothing to do.
"Then … I'll wait for you to wake up."
