Seeing Ke Wen's slightly hasty cleaning up action, Mira was at a loss for a moment before reacting.
Putting down the half-cleaned tableware in her hands, Mira asked with concern: "Kevin, what's wrong? What makes you so excited?"
"Sorry, Mira, I will explain to you when I come back later!"
At the same time as he responded, Ke Wen had already finished cleaning up. He put his hands on the bar and jumped out of the bar. Then he walked outside and said, "I will talk to the old man."
Seeing Ke Wen speeding up and leaving, Mira quickly warned from behind: "Then be careful."
"Don't worry, there is no danger."
As the words fell, Kewen also rushed out of the guild gate and quickly disappeared.
Mira frowned slightly, walked to Ke Wen's usual seat, and immediately saw the order form on the bar.
"Really..."
Mira shook her head helplessly, then picked up this 'S-level mission order' and walked out of the bar, went to the second floor and hung it on the mission board...
the other side.
After Kewen walked out of the guild, he quickly returned home.
After packing everything up in a short time, he left home again and went straight to the train station in the town.
On the way, Coven summoned the 'magic screen' from the emblem on his forearm and sent a communication link to President Makarov.
He was quickly connected, and President Makarov's figure appeared on the screen.
"Well, what's wrong with little Kewen?"
"Yes, old man." Ke Wen said as he walked: "I have something to do and need to go out for a while, so I say hello to you, old man."
"Ah? Going out?"
President Makarov was slightly stunned. After all, Kewen had not been out for a long time, so he was as surprised as Mira.
"What happened?" President Makarov asked with equal concern: "Do you need help?"
"No need." Ke Wen shook his head and said, "It's just a personal matter. Do you still remember the 'second source of magic' I talked about with you?"
"Of course." President Makarov responded: "Have you found a way to open the 'second magic source'?"
"Um!"
Ke Wen did not talk about his plan in detail, but once talked about related topics when chatting with President Makarov.
It was not the time to explain in detail at this time, so Ke Wen simply said: "I went out this time just for the 'Second Magic Source'."
"Okay then." President Makarov had no reason to refuse, and then said: "Then let me take care of the work in the guild for a few days. By the way, how long will it take to go out this time?"
"It's not clear yet." Ke Wen couldn't give an accurate answer and could only estimate: "It won't exceed a month at most."
"Is that so..." President Makarov turned his head and looked to the side, and then said: "This year's 'President's Party' will be held in a few days. Then let Mira help with the work first.
So, just feel free to do your own thing."
"Okay, old man." Ke Wen responded: "If anything happens, remember to send me a message."
"Well, I feel relieved."
The two chatted for a few more words and then ended the call.
Not long after, Ke Wen rushed to the train station, bought a ticket and waited. An hour later, he finally got the train.
In the evening, the train arrived at a town called Harujion. Kewen left the train station and headed straight for the port.
Speaking of which, this port town is where Natsu and Lucy met, and Natsu also destroyed half of the port, causing the guild to pay a large sum of money in compensation.
However, the port has now been rebuilt and no signs of damage can be seen.
It has to be said that the magic of this world has penetrated into all aspects, resulting in fast repair and construction. The port and many buildings can be rebuilt in a week.
After Kewen arrived at the port, he just paid attention to the environment. Then he walked directly to the seaside and asked the sailors who could go to sea who could send him to 'Karna Island'.
However, after hearing about the target island that Ke Wen wanted to go to, all the sailors shook their heads in rejection.
Ke Wen turned to ask the fishermen again. As a result, after hearing the name of 'Karna Island', all the fishermen were also afraid to avoid it, and said that no one dared to go there, and even pirates would circumvent it during the voyage.
Pass the cursed 'Island of Karna'.
After asking almost everyone at the beach, no one was willing to help Kewen in the end. Even if Kewen expressed his willingness to pay more money, no one would change his mind.
In the original plot, there should be an islander from Karna Island in this port, but Kewen did not see him.
Guessing whether the other party had gone out to sea to fish, Ke Wen stayed at the dock and waited all night. The next day, he still didn't see any fishermen he met.
Not wanting to delay any more time, Ke Wen immediately walked towards a large sailing ship that could go to the ocean.
After stopping a sailor, Coven grabbed a handful of gold coins from his pocket, showed it to the sailor and said at the same time: "Want to make some extra money?"
The sailor stared at the gold coins and swallowed. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately shook his head: "Don't think about it, no ship will take you to 'Karna Island'! No one wants to lose their life, or bring the curse back and harm their family.
With friends!”
"No." Ke Wen shook his head: "I don't need anyone to take me there this time, I just need to know the specific location of the island."
"Location?" A look of hope appeared in the sailor's eyes.
"That's right." Ke Wen confirmed: "I just need the specific location, how about it? Just give me the chart, and I can easily make this extra money."
"Wait a moment!"
The sailor immediately ran along the gangplank to the sailboat, and at the same time, he did not forget to remind Coven loudly: "It's settled! I will take over this deal! You can't find anyone else!"
Hearing this, Kewen couldn't help but smile.
Not long after, the sailor ran back with a chart in hand, stopped in front of Ke Wen panting, and drew a circle in a position on the chart with a pen.
"Give!"
Handing the chart to Ke Wen, the sailor stared at the gold coins in Ke Wen's hand and said, "The location has been marked for you. Can you read the chart?"
Seeing Ke Wen nodding, the sailor hesitated and reminded: "Then...gold coins..."
Ke Wen stretched out his hand and put the gold coin directly into the opponent's hand, then lowered his head and looked at the chart seriously.
He looked up for the direction and compared it with the chart. Then Kewen said to the sailor who was checking the authenticity of the gold coins: "Can you be sure about the accuracy of this chart? You know, deceiving a magician
, the trouble is quite big.”
"Are you a magician?" The sailor was slightly shocked, and then he quickly patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Mr. Magician! I have been making a living at sea for almost ten years! This chart is absolutely accurate!"
"good."
Kewen put the chart into his pocket, then turned and walked towards the sea.
Seeing this, the sailor couldn't help but said in surprise: "Hey, magician first..."
Before he finished speaking, the sailor's eyes suddenly widened, because after Kewen walked to the beach, he suddenly turned into a magpie, flapping his wings and quickly lifted into the air and flew away.
Relying on the 'Goldfinger''s ability to make him never forget, Ke Wen has completely memorized the entire chart.
Flying towards the sea area where 'Karna Island' is located in the posture of a magpie, this way of traveling is the most efficient way to save mana.
This flight took Kewen for more than three hours, and then he finally saw the island in the vast sea.
After slightly speeding up his flight, Kewen finally flew into the island and continued to monitor the island's situation from the air.
After he saw a camp village in the middle of the island, he was completely sure that the island under his feet was 'Karna Island'.
Suppressing the anticipation in his heart, Ke Wen continued to fly and conduct reconnaissance over the island. Soon, he saw a huge temple-shaped building on a mountain.
The ruins of the temple are in the shape of a pyramid. Most of the entire building is wrapped by tree roots like horned dragons, and other parts are also covered with thick moss.
It is old and dilapidated. It is obvious that the temple has not been taken care of for a long time. Perhaps the residents of the island village have already abandoned it.
Kewen flapped his wings and lowered his flying height, hovering around the entire temple, and soon found several sinkhole-like openings leading to the interior of the temple.
The edges of those holes were relatively neat, as if they were made intentionally. Kewen knew the inside story, so he flew directly into a hole.
Inside the cave entrance was a very huge patio-shaped space. Kewen extended his wings and glided without making any sound.
Soon he reached the bottom of this space, and a very huge iceberg appeared in his eyes.
The ice was in the shape of an irregular egg, about twenty meters high, with a huge demon sealed like amber in it.
There was no human figure in the entire space, so Kewen returned to his human form directly in front of the huge ice, raised his head and looked at the demon sealed in it.
With Kewen's current height of just over 1.8 meters, he looks very small in front of this demon. He is less than half the height of the opponent's calf.
However, the target of his trip was not the devil inside, so he just looked at it and stopped paying attention.
Raising his hand, Ke Wen placed his palm on the ice where the cold was completely restrained, took a deep breath, and then softly recited the incantation: "Absorb divine thoughts..."
The next moment, memory images appeared in his mind, making him feel as if he was watching the life of a female wizard.
After an unknown amount of time, Ke Wen retracted his palm, stared at the ice in front of him and pondered for a moment, and then turned into a magpie and flew into the sky again.
Flying out of the ruins along the hole at the top of the space, Kewen continued to scout around the entire ruins.
Not long after, he found some traces in a dense forest, and immediately swooped down and landed silently on the crown of a tree, looking down.
A simple camp is located in a small clearing opened in the middle of this dense forest.
Nearly two hundred humans wearing tight robes, with their faces firmly covered by cloth, were moving among them in a depressing atmosphere...
