Kewen went through the memories in "Goldfinger" and finally created a simple information file for the other party.
Ulrudiya was born with extraordinary magical power. When she was young, her mother sent her to a magic research institute for treatment because she could not bear the increasing magic power.
But the trust was not human. The director of that research institute was a bad guy. He collected children under the pretext of treatment, but in fact he used the children as tools to conduct research on evil magic.
Therefore, the director lied about the failure of treatment and told false news of death, which made Ulrudiya's mother leave sadly, thus causing a mother and daughter to be separated in a major misunderstanding.
Later, Ulrutiya joined the Dark Guild, and it was not until the year x784 at the beginning of the plot that she officially appeared.
Therefore, if Kewen wants to find Ulrudia, he has to either choose to look for a needle in a haystack, or he can only wait a few years for the other party to appear automatically.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ke Wen held his chin and thought for a long time. In the end, he chose the latter option.
Not to mention the difficulty of finding a needle in a haystack, even if you find the other party, you will probably be noticed by the dark union, and there will be many unknown dangers.
Moreover, if Ulutiya is found too early, it is impossible to be sure whether the other party has mastered the method of opening the 'second magic source'.
Considering various factors, Kewen could only choose to wait patiently for a few years, and after the plot began, there was a most suitable event insertion point that would allow him and Ulrudiya to communicate face to face safely.
After making the decision, Ke Wen kept the plan in mind, and then continued to read other books and periodicals to supplement his knowledge of the world.
…
The next day, Kewen, who had not slept all night, was reminded by the waiter that his room time had arrived, so he simply checked out of the room and continued to wander around the town.
Through yesterday's exchange with the owner of the magic shop, Ke Wen learned that 30% of the residents of this town can master magic.
Of course, mastering magic does not mean mastering magic. If you want to become a wizard, you don't just need to learn a few household magics.
anyway.
Thirty percent of the residents can master magic. Correspondingly, the demand for magic props has also greatly increased. Therefore, there are three other shops selling magic props in this town.
Kewen's target today is those three stores.
Not long after, Ke Wen saw the first magic shop two streets away and immediately opened the door and entered.
This time, he deliberately held the nearly two-meter-high staff in his hand. Although Xiao Douding looked weird holding the big staff, at least it would no longer be looked down upon.
As expected, after entering the store, the boss behind the counter immediately stopped talking when he was about to ask a question, and instead greeted him warmly: "Welcome, little wizard, how can I help you?"
"Hello boss." Ke Wen greeted the store manager, and then asked: "Can you show me the catalog of magic books in your store? There is also a catalog of magic props."
"No problem!" The boss immediately became energetic and quickly pulled out two books from under the counter: "They are all here."
With that said, the boss walked out from behind the counter, went to the side and picked out a high stool, moved it back to the counter and motioned for Kewen to sit down.
"Thank you." Ke Wen thanked him, then sat on the chair, leaned on the counter and began to flip through the two catalogs.
Not long after, Ke Wen relied on his "photographic memory" ability to flip through the two catalogs, but the result made him very disappointed, because he did not find any "normal" magic book, and the catalogs were all about daily life.
Department of magic.
For example, changing colors, cleaning dust, the magic of changing clothes, the magic of releasing fireworks, etc.
There are also not many things in the prop catalog that can arouse Kewen's interest.
In the end, Kewen only chose a 'Video Magic Book' and purchased a few 'Photographic Crystals' as a package.
The prices of the two items were not low, but Ke Wen easily bought them with two gold coins.
After the transaction was completed, Ke Wen couldn't help but ask: "Boss, if I want to buy some 'combat magic', where should I look for it?"
"The magic used by magicians..." The boss shook his head: "Then you may need to find a 'Magic Guild' to try."
"Magic Guild?" Ke Wen frowned slightly.
"Yes." The boss said while putting away the gold coins and two catalogs: "Unless there is a family or master-disciple inheritance, if you want to learn combat magic, you can only join the royal army or go to one of the many 'magic unions'
Give it a try.”
"Is there no other way?"
Ke Wen was a little troubled because he had no idea of joining the union for the time being.
"No more." The boss shook his head again: "Or maybe I don't know."
"Okay." Ke Wen sighed slightly, then said goodbye and left.
Next, Kewen went to a second magic store and bought a set of magic painting pens. After checking out, he asked the same question.
The answers he got were basically the same. The owner of this store also suggested that he find a 'Magic Guild' and give it a try.
After walking out of the store, Kewen went to the last magic store in this town.
In the end, he didn't get any new advice and could only buy a pair of magic glasses and said goodbye and walked out of the store.
I returned to the hotel in a somewhat depressed manner. At this time, a voice suddenly greeted me from behind: "Hey, that kid."
Ke Wen subconsciously looked back and saw a curly-haired man in fashionable clothes, staring at him and waving.
With a slight frown, Ke Wen asked the approaching person: "What's the matter?"
The man did not answer, but asked: "What are you looking for?"
"Why should I answer you?" Ke Wen looked downcast.
"Hey, you've learned a little bit of skills, have you just come out of home?" The man rubbed his hands in a somewhat obscene way and said with a smile, "Then you must have never heard of the black market, right?"
"Black market?" Ke Wen's eyebrows narrowed even more, he looked at the other person and asked, "Can you take me to the black market?"
The man was stunned. From Ke Wen's tone, he obviously knew what the black market was about.
After looking Ke Wen up and down, the man put away his smile slightly and nodded: "Yes, I know where the black market is, but..."
Rubbing his fingers together in an internationally recognized gesture, the man laughed obscenely again.
"What price?" Ke Wen said coldly.
"Not much, ten thousand gold."
Kewen observed the other person calmly for a moment, then put his hand into his pocket and took out a gold coin.
With a 'ding' sound, he flicked the gold coin to the other party with his fingers: "Tell me."
"Hehehehe, thank you for your patronage." The man bent over and rubbed the gold coin with a sly look, and then said with a smile: "Follow me."
Staring at the back of the man leading the way, Ke Wen sighed slightly helplessly, and then took steps to follow.
After turning left and right, and walking for three blocks, the two came to the edge of the town, and the remains of a building destroyed by fire appeared in front of them.
Seeing this, Kewen shook his head helplessly and stood still.
The man leading the way walked nearly ten meters, and then realized that Ke Wen was not following. He couldn't help but stop and urged: "Let's go."
Kewen stared into the other person's eyes, and after a moment of silence, he took steps again.
Soon, the two of them turned around the collapsed building and came to stand in front of the door of a ruined warehouse.
The man leading the way raised his hand and knocked on the door. Not long after, the door was opened and the observation window was opened.
"Hey, it's me." The man leading the way laughed obscenely again, and said with a somewhat proud tone: "Business is here, open the door quickly."
The eyes behind the observation window lit up, and soon, the warehouse door was opened from the inside, revealing the dark room inside.
"Come in, little one." The man leading the way stepped aside.
Kewen raised his head and glanced at the other party, then stepped into the warehouse.
Inside is a room of about more than 200 square meters. Due to the fire, the walls were smoked black. Even with the chandelier lighting up, the room still looked very gloomy.
On the right side of the room is the wine cabinet and bar. There are two round wooden tables at the back of the room, where three men are drinking and playing cards.
After Kewen entered the room, he walked directly to the middle of the open space, stood still and looked around at the people in the warehouse.
"Haha, boss!" The man who led the way quickly closed the door after entering the warehouse, and then laughed loudly: "I brought back a big deal today! This kid is very rich!"
"How rich can one be?"
The man called the boss is a man in his forties, with a scar running from the right corner of his mouth to below his ear. He looks very fierce. He is the kind of guy in comics who can be identified as a bad guy just by his style of painting.
The image of identity.
At this time, after listening to the boss's question, the man leading the way said proudly: "This kid visited three magic shops in a row today. I followed him from the first one he walked out of, and I saw with my own eyes that he bought something in every shop.
Not cheap stuff, besides!”
With that said, the man leading the way took out gold coins from his pocket and said greedily: "This kid is paid with gold coins!"
"Oh?" The boss became interested, put down the cards in his hand, and stood up.
While walking towards Ke Wen, the boss raised his right hand, and with a 'whoosh' sound, half of his arm was instantly wrapped in fierce flames.
Ke Wen couldn't help but be stunned by this.
Seeing Ke Wen's expression, the boss sneered, and then threatened in a condescending manner: "Boy, for the sake of your life, please hand over all your money."
"Haha! That's right, boy!"
A gangster at the bar laughed and echoed: "Don't think that you can conquer the world just by learning a few magic tricks. Our boss has combat magic that can only be mastered by regular magicians!"
While he was talking, all the gangsters in the room stood up and gathered around.
In response to this, Ke Wen suddenly laughed softly: "I have gained a lot of experience, and I have actually encountered various scenes in the story books."
"Boy!" the man leading the way scolded angrily: "What do you mean!?"
"It means..." Ke Wen looked around at all nine gangsters, and then suddenly smiled: "You talk too much."
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Wen suddenly raised his staff slightly and quickly placed it on the ground.
The next moment, the stone floor beneath the gangsters' feet suddenly disappeared, and deep pits appeared one after another in an instant.
There was a cry of exclamation, and everyone, including the gangster boss who possessed combat magic, instantly fell into the pit.
In the end, the gangsters only had their heads exposed above the ground.
Just when the gangsters subconsciously wanted to climb out of the pothole, Ke Wen raised his staff again and knocked the ground loudly.
What followed was that the potholes closed instantly, completely confining the gangsters inside.
At this time, everyone's bodies were completely unable to struggle. The solid ground made them feel as if they were embedded in cement.
"Damn it!" The gangster boss suppressed his strength until his face turned red, but his body was restrained and motionless. He didn't know that he was going to fall into trouble today, so he immediately yelled and cursed.
The other gangsters are just ordinary people, and they may have mastered some magic power, but not even the gangster boss can break free from the ground, let alone them.
As a result, there was a cacophony of screams and curses.
Seeing this, Ke Wen raised his staff and swung it gently. Under the control of the transformation technique, the ground where the gangsters were buried began to move laterally, causing the 'heads' around him to move in front of him.
The gangsters were stunned by the moving ground. They all stopped talking and stared at Ke Wen dumbfounded.
"One, two, three...nine, that's right, everyone is here."
Ke Wen counted the heads one by one, and nodded with satisfaction after counting.
"What do you mean!" Although the gangster boss looked panicked, he still had the courage to speak. He stared at Kewen and asked, "What are you going to do to us!? I admit defeat today! I can provide you with compensation."
!”
Ke Wen did not answer, but looked directly into the eyes of the gangster boss: "Tell me about the black market."
The gangster boss was silent for a moment, and then replied slightly reluctantly: "The black market is in the town next door!"
"So that's it." Ke Wen suddenly raised his chin: "The people you deceived to come here were either robbed and killed by you, or you gave in and deceived them into going to the dark union in the next town."
All the gangsters opened their eyes in shock, and the gangster boss even exclaimed: "How do you know!"
"Your eyes told me."
Ke Wen sighed and shook his head, and raised his staff again: "In this case, there is no need for scum like you to live in this world."
"No! Wait! Stop!" the gangster boss hurriedly exclaimed: "I surrender! You can send us to the king's army in the town! I am willing to accept trial!"
Ke Wen raised his staff, looked directly at the other party with flat eyes, and said softly: "Hell can do the work of judgment, and my task is to send you there."
"No--"
Amidst the screams of fear, Ke Wen put the end of the staff on the ground again with a cold expression.
boom!
The next moment, the ground beneath the gangsters sank deep again, and was controlled by Kewen for more than thirty meters. Then he swung his staff and closed the nine holes left on the ground.
Shaking his head, Kewen turned around and walked out, but suddenly stopped after taking a few steps.
Turning his head, he frowned and looked at the flat ground. After a while, he sighed helplessly: "I forgot to take the gold coins back... Forget it, I'll just treat them as a kind gesture and send them as funerary objects."
After saying this, Kewen took steps again and walked towards the door of the warehouse.
Just as we arrived at the door, a cheering sound suddenly sounded outside, and a little girl shouted happily: "Sister! Brother! Look! There is an abandoned warehouse there! We have a place to live today!"
Then a boy's voice sounded: "Run slowly! Don't rush so fast, be careful of falling!"
In the warehouse, listening to the sounds outside, Ke Wen frowned and raised his arm, opening the warehouse door.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, he suddenly retracted his left leg.
At this time, outside the door, a white-haired lolita who was about one meter tall and had short, ear-length hair just looked back from behind, and immediately made eye contact with Ke Wen.
Stunned, the little Loli quickly tried to stop running, but due to her daze, she made a mistake in her steps and lost her body balance.
"oops--"
With a panicked scream, the little Loli pushed her arms forward and threw herself into Ke Wen's arms.
Ke Wen subconsciously raised his hands and hugged the other person's back, and held the little Loli up while she struggled in panic.
"I'm sorry!" After the little Loli stood firm, she quickly stepped back, bowed deeply, and apologized in panic: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry I bumped into you!"
"Lisanna, are you okay?"
In the distance, a boy with a height of nearly 1.2 meters and a very childish face immediately exclaimed, running over quickly and asking the little Loli with concern.
"Lisanna!"
Another little girl shrouded in a hood and cloak also exclaimed, then tightened her cloak with her left hand and ran over quickly.
The two quickly ran to the door of the warehouse. At this time, the little Loli continued to bow and apologize to Ke Wen. After they checked the little Loli, the boy also bowed to Ke Wen with vigilance and timidity: "
I'm sorry! My sister didn't mean it! Please forgive her!"
"Yes, I'm sorry..." The little girl under the cloak also spoke out, but she seemed to be an autistic person, and her voice sounded extremely forced.
"It doesn't matter."
Seeing this, Kewen finally spoke and said softly: "I don't mean to blame her."
"I'm very sorry again!" The little loli named Lisanna bowed at the end and said sincerely: "Thank you for your forgiveness. I didn't know there was anyone here. Let's leave now."
The other two people also bowed slightly to Ke Wen, then turned and left with Lisanna.
Looking at the backs of the three people, Ke Wen sighed secretly from behind: This is fate...
After thinking secretly, Kewen said again: "Please wait."
The three people's figures froze, and then they all turned to look at Ke Wen warily.
"What's the matter with you?" The boy stepped forward nervously, blocking the two girls behind him, and asked Kewen warily.
Kewen shifted his gaze and looked at the girl who was hiding her body under the black hooded cloak. He said softly: "I am a magician. I can feel that there are some problems with your body. I can help you."
Take a look?"
"No! We didn't have any problems!"
The boy immediately responded loudly, but the look of panic on his face could not be concealed at all, as if he was hiding his ears.
At this time, Lisanna tugged at the corner of the boy's vest, then looked at Coven and asked, "Are you really a wizard? But, you are only about the same age as us."
Hearing this, Kewen directly raised his staff, waved it gently towards the feet of the three people, and said silently in his heart: The flowers are in full bloom.
The next moment, a large plant suddenly appeared around the ground under the three people's feet. After growing for half a meter, a bud bulged out from the top of the plant, and its petals quickly bloomed.
"Wow--"
Lisanna widened her already large eyes, which shone like stars in comics.
The little boy opened his mouth wide in surprise, as if he had seen such a magical scene for the first time.
Even the girl whose face was covered by the hood opened her lips exposed from under the hood, obviously surprised.
"How is it?" Ke Wen said softly: "Can you believe it now?"
"Sister?" Lisanna immediately looked at the hooded girl with a hopeful expression.
The boy also turned to look at the hooded girl and suggested: "Sister Mira, can you let him take a look? It's rare for us to meet a magician."
After a long silence, the hooded girl let go of her left hand holding the cloak, letting the cloak slide down, revealing the dark color of her right arm.
Then, the girl named Mira slowly raised her right arm, revealing the scene she had been hiding.
The arm is as black as a hard shell, and is covered with protrusions that look like tumors but are not tumors, and are as dense as compound eyes.
The palms are even more ferocious, and the fingers are as sharp as ghost claws.
Being seen with such an arm made Mila feel ashamed and angry, and her whole ghost arm trembled slightly.
Ke Wen sighed secretly, and then slowly stepped forward and came to the three people.
He glanced at Mira, who lowered her head even more, and then Kewen looked at the entire ghost arm. After a moment, he said softly: "It's okay, I already understand."
Hearing this, Mira immediately retracted her arm and hid it under the cloak again.
Lisanna immediately asked eagerly: "Excuse me! What happened to my sister's arm? Is there any way to cure it!?"
"It's about receiving magic."
Although Kewen didn't see anything at all, he knew the other party's information, because the three people in front of him will all be members of the 'Fairy Tail Guild' in the future, and they will also be the main players.
Therefore, Kewen simply followed the script and explained to the three people: "The so-called receiving magic is magic that can absorb the power of monsters or animals and use it for oneself."
"If broken down, it can be divided into 'partial reception' that only receives part of the target's body, and 'whole body reception' that completely receives the target."
Hearing this, Lisanna said slightly anxiously: "But sister, she didn't learn any 'receiving magic'?"
"It's her talent." Ke Wen looked at Mira and explained: "Have you ever encountered a monster with such an arm?"
Seeing the three people nodding at the same time, Ke Wen continued: "That's right. People with strong talents may passively receive the power of monsters even if they have not learned to 'receive magic'."
"That……"
Mira, who was under the hood and cloak, spoke for the first time and asked in a low voice: "Can my arm return to normal?"
"I'm about to join a union called 'Fairy Tail'."
Ke Wen stepped over the three of them and said as he advanced: "There should be someone there who can teach you how to restore your arm."
After walking a few meters, Kewen stopped and turned around: "Aren't you going to follow me?"
Hearing this, the three brothers and sisters looked at each other and quickly caught up with Ke Wen...
