Rubik’s Cube of Heavens Chapter 2: Meet
It is very difficult to find the woman 'Urdia'.
Ke Wen searched through the memory in the 'Gold Finger', and finally created a simple data file for the other party.
Urdia was born with extraordinary magical power. When she was young, because she couldn't bear the growing magic power, her mother sent her to the Magic Research Institute for treatment.
But the entrustment is not human, the director of the research institute is a villain, who collects children under the pretext of treatment, but actually uses the children as tools to conduct research on evil magic.
Therefore, the director lied about the failure of the treatment and told the false news of the death, which made Urdia's mother sad and left, and thus separated the mother and daughter in a major misunderstanding.
Later, Urdia joined the Dark Guild, and she didn't officially show up until the "x784" when the plot began.
So, if Kewen wants to find Urdia, he must either choose to find a needle in a haystack, or he can only wait for the other party to appear automatically after a few years.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ke Wen pinched 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 Urdia was found too early, it was impossible to determine whether the other party had mastered the opening method of the 'Second Magic Power Source'.
Combining various factors, Kewen can only choose to wait patiently for a few years, and after the plot begins, there is a most suitable event insertion point, which allows him and Urdia to communicate face-to-face safely.
After making a decision, Ke Wen kept the plan in his heart, and then continued to browse through other books and periodicals to supplement his knowledge of the world.
…
The next day, Ke Wen, who hadn't slept all night, was reminded by the waiter that it was time for the room, so he simply checked out the room first and continued to wander around the town.
Through communicating with the owner of the magic shop yesterday, Ke Wen learned that 30% of the residents in this small town can master magic power.
Of course, mastering magic power does not mean mastering magic. If you want to become a mage, you don't just need to learn a few household magic.
Speaking of which.
Thirty percent of the residents can master magic power. Correspondingly, the demand for magic props has also greatly increased. Therefore, there are three other shops selling magic props in this small town.
Cowen'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 purposely held the two-meter-tall staff in his hand. Although Xiao Douding looked weird holding the big staff, at least he wouldn't make people look down upon him.
As expected, after entering the store, the boss behind the counter immediately stopped talking when he had any questions, and greeted him warmly instead: "Welcome, little magician, how can I help you? "
"Hi boss." Ke Wen greeted the old man in the store, 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 came to his senses immediately, and quickly pulled out two books from under the counter: "They are all here."
Speaking, the boss came out from behind the counter, picked out a high stool beside the counter, moved it back to the counter, and signaled Ke Wen to sit down.
"Thank you." Ke Wen thanked, then sat on a chair, leaned on the counter and began to browse through two catalogs.
It didn't take long for Ke Wen to browse through the two catalogs with his "photographic memory" ability, but he was very disappointed because he didn't find any "normal" magic books. It's some living magic.
Such as changing colors, cleaning dust, magic to change clothes, magic to release fireworks, and so on.
There are also not many things in the item catalog that can arouse Kewen's interest.
In the end, Ke Wen only chose a 'Video Magic Book' and bought a few 'Picture Crystals' as a set.
The price of the two items is not low, but Ke Wen can easily buy them with two gold coins.
After the transaction was completed, Ke Wen couldn't help asking: "Boss, if I want to buy some 'combat magic', where should I find it?"
"The magic used by mages..." The boss shook his head: "Then you may need to find a 'magic union' to try."
"Magic union?" Ke Wen frowned slightly.
"Yes." The boss put away the gold coins and two catalogues, and said, "Unless there is a family or a master-student inheritance, if you want to learn combat magic, you can only join the Kingdom Army, or go to the many 'magic schools. Try it in the trade union."
"Is there no other way?"
Ke Wen was a little distressed, because he had no idea of joining the trade 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 took his leave and left.
Next, Ke Wen went to the second magic store and bought a set of magic paint brushes. 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 go to a 'Magic Union' and try it out.
Out of the shop, Ke Wen went to the last magic shop in this town.
In the end, without getting any new suggestions, he could only buy a pair of magic glasses, bid farewell and walked out of the store.
Going back towards the hotel with some depression, at this moment, a greeting suddenly sounded from behind: "Hey, that kid."
Ke Wen looked back subconsciously, and saw a curly-haired man in sleek clothes, staring at him and waving constantly.
Slightly frowning, Ke Wen asked the approaching party: "What's the matter?"
The man did not answer, but asked: "What are you looking for?"
"Why should I answer you?" Ke Wen's face was gloomy.
"Hey, you just came out of the house after learning a little skill?" The man rubbed his hands wretchedly and said with a smile, "Then you must have never heard of the black market, right?"
"Black market?" Ke Wen frowned, looking at the other party and asked, "Can you take me to the black market?"
The man was taken aback for a moment, and from Ke Wen's tone, he obviously knew what the black market was for.
Looking Kewen up and down, the man put away his smile slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, I know where the black market is, but..."
Rubbing his fingers together to make an international gesture, the man smiled wretchedly again.
"What price." Ke Wen said coldly.
"Not much, ten thousand gold."
Kewen observed the other party calmly for a moment, then reached 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: "Speak."
"Hey hey hey, thank you for your patronage." The man bent over, rubbed the gold coin with mischievous eyes, and then said with a smile: "Come with me."
Staring at the back of the man leading the way, Ke Wen sighed helplessly, then stepped forward to follow.
Turn left and turn right, and after walking for three blocks, the two came to the edge of the town, and the wreckage of a building destroyed by fire appeared in front of them.
Seeing this, Ke Wen shook his head helplessly and stood still.
The man who led the way walked for nearly ten meters, only to realize that Ke Wen hadn't followed, so he couldn't help but stop and urged: "Let's go."
Cowen stared into the other's eyes, and after a moment of silence, he took another step.
Soon, the two turned around the collapsed building and stood in front of the door of a ruined warehouse.
The man who led the way raised his hand and knocked on the door. Not long after, the door was opened by the observation window.
"Hey, it's me." The man leading the way let out a wretched laugh again, and said in a somewhat smug tone: "It's business, open the door."
The eyes behind the observation window lit up, and soon, the warehouse door was opened from the inside, revealing the dark room inside.
"Go in, little guy." The man leading the way stepped aside.
Kewen looked up at the other party, and then walked into the warehouse.
Inside was a room of about two hundred square meters. Because of the fire, the walls were blackened. Even with the chandelier lighting, the inside of the room still looked very gloomy.
The right side of the room is the wine cabinet and bar counter, and there are two round wooden tables in the back of the room, where three men are drinking and playing cards.
After entering the room, Ke Wen walked directly to the middle of the open space, stood still and looked around at the figures in the warehouse.
"Haha boss!" The man who led the way quickly closed the door to death after entering the warehouse, and then laughed wildly: "I brought back a big deal today! This brat is very rich!"
"How rich can you be?"
The one called the boss is a man in his forties. A scar runs through the right corner of his mouth to below his ear. His appearance is very fierce. The image of his identity as a bad guy.
At this time, after hearing the boss's question, the man who led the way said triumphantly: "This brat visited three magic shops in a row today. I followed him from the first one, and saw him in every shop with my own eyes. I bought something that is not cheap, and!"
As he spoke, the man leading the way took out gold coins from his pocket and said greedily, "This brat pays 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 'hoo', half of his arm was instantly entwined with intense flames.
Kewen couldn't help being taken aback by this.
Seeing Kewen's expression, the boss sneered, and then threatened condescendingly: "Boy, for the sake of my life, obediently hand over all your money."
"Haha! That's right kid!"
A gangster at the bar laughed and echoed: "Don't think that you can go out and travel the world after learning a few magic tricks. What our boss has is the battle magic that can only be mastered by regular magicians!"
During the conversation, all the gangsters in the room got up and surrounded them.
In this regard, Ke Wen suddenly smiled softly: "I have learned a lot, and I have encountered various scenes in the storybook."
"Boy!" The man leading the way scolded angrily, "What do you mean!?"
"It means..." Ke Wen looked around at all the nine gangsters, and then suddenly smiled: "You talk too much."
Boom!
As soon as the words fell, Ke Wen suddenly raised the staff slightly, and quickly stopped it on the ground. Valley
The next moment, the stone floor under the feet of the gangsters suddenly disappeared, and deep pits appeared one after another in an instant.
A cry of exclamation resounded, and everyone, including the gangster boss who possessed combat magic, instantly fell into the pit.
In the end, the gangsters only showed their heads on 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 imprisoning the gangsters inside.
Now, everyone's bodies were completely unable to struggle, and the solid ground made them feel as if they were stuck in cement.
"Damn it!" The gangster boss blushed from holding back his strength, but his body was imprisoned motionless. He didn't know that he was going to fall down today, so he immediately yelled and cursed.
The other gangsters are just ordinary people, maybe they have some magical powers, but even the gangster boss can't break free from the ground, let alone them.
As a result, various exclamations and curses sounded loudly.
Seeing this, Ke Wen raised his staff and swayed it lightly. Under the spell of transformation, the ground that controlled the buried gangsters began to move sideways, causing the 'heads' around him to move in front of him.
The gangsters were stunned by the moving ground, they all stopped their voices, and stared at Kewen in a daze.
"One, two, three...nine, that's right, we're all here."
Cowen counted the heads one by one, and nodded in satisfaction after counting.
"What do you mean!" Although the gangster boss looked panicked, he barely had the courage to speak out, staring at Ke Wen and asked: "What are you going to do to us!? I admit it today! I can do it for you!" You offer compensation!"
Kewen 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 while, and then replied a little unwillingly: "The black market is in the next town!"
"So that's it." Ke Wen suddenly raised his chin: "The people who were tricked by you to come here will either be killed by you after robbing money, or you will give in and trick them into the dark trade union in the next town."
All the gangsters widened their eyes in shock, and the boss of the gangster even exclaimed: "How do you know!"
"Your eyes tell me."
Kevin sighed and shook his head, and raised his staff again: "In this case, there is no need for you scum 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 the trial!"
Ke Wen raised his staff, looked directly at the other party, and said softly: "The work of judgment can be done in hell, and my task is to send you there."
"No—"
Amidst the terrified screams, Kewen put the end of the staff on the ground again with a cold expression.
Boom!
The next moment, the ground under the gangsters sank again, and was controlled by Ke Wen to sink more than 30 meters. Then he swung his staff and closed the nine holes left on the ground.
Shaking his head, Ke Wen turned and walked out, but stopped suddenly after walking a few steps.
Turning his head, frowning and looking at the flat ground, after a while, he sighed helplessly: "I forgot to take back the gold coins... Forget it, just treat it as a kindness and send them as funeral objects." .”
After the words fell, Ke Wen stepped forward again and walked towards the warehouse door.
As soon as we arrived at the door, there was a cheering sound outside, and a little girl shouted happily: "Sister! Brother! Look! There is an abandoned warehouse there! Today we have a place to live!"
Then a boy's voice sounded: "Run slowly! Don't rush so fast, be careful to fall!"
In the warehouse, listening to the voices outside, Ke Wen raised his arm while frowning, and opened the warehouse door.
Just as he was about to step out, he suddenly withdrew his left leg.
At this moment, outside the door, a white-haired loli with a height of one meter and short hair combed to the ears had just looked back from behind, and met Ke Wen's eyes at a glance.
Being stunned for a moment, little Lolita hurriedly planned to stop her running pace, but because of her stupidity, she made a wrong step and lost her balance.
"Oops——"
Screaming in panic, little Loli pushed her arms forward and threw herself into Ke Wen's arms.
Ke Wen subconsciously raised his arms and hugged the other person's back, and helped Little Lolita get better while she was struggling in panic.
"I'm sorry!" Little Loli stepped back quickly after standing still, then bowed deeply, and apologized repeatedly in panic: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry I bumped into you!"
"Lisanna, are you okay!"
In the distance, the boy with a height of about 1.2 meters and a very immature face immediately exclaimed, and ran over quickly while asking the little loli with concern.
"Lisanna!"
Another little girl who was covered under the hood and cloak also exclaimed, then tightly tightened the cloak with her left hand, and ran over quickly.
The two quickly ran to the warehouse door. At this time, the little Lolita was still bowing and apologizing to Ke Wen. Bow: "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 it seemed like an autistic patient, and her voice seemed extremely forced.
"It's okay."
Seeing this, Ke Wen finally spoke and said softly, "I didn't mean to blame her."
"I'm very sorry again!" The little girl named Lisanna finally bowed and said earnestly: "Thank you for your forgiveness. I didn't know there was anyone here. Let's go now."
The other two also bowed slightly to Ke Wen, then turned and left with Lisanna.
Looking at the backs of the three, Ke Wen secretly sighed from behind: This is fate...
After thinking secretly, Ke Wen said again: "Please wait."
The figures of the three froze, and then they all turned to look at Kewen warily.
"You, what's the matter with you?" The boy stepped forward nervously, keeping the two girls behind him, and asked Ke Wen warily.
Kewen shifted his gaze, looked at the girl who was hiding her body under the black hood and cloak, and said softly: "I am a mage, I can feel that there is something wrong with your body, Can I have a look?"
"No! We have no problems!"
The boy immediately responded loudly, but the panic on his face could not be concealed at all, as if deceiving his ears.
At this time, Lisanna tugged at the corner of the boy's jacket, then looked at Ke Wen and asked, "Are you really a mage? But, but you are only about our age."
Hearing this, Ke Wen directly raised his staff, swung it lightly at the feet of the three, and said silently in his heart: flowers are in full bloom.
The next moment, a large piece of plant suddenly appeared around the ground under the feet of the three of them. After growing for half a meter, a flower bud bulged out from the top of the plant, and the petals quickly bloomed again.
"Wow——"
Lisanna stared wide at her already big eyes, which were shining like the eyes of stars in comics.
The little boy also opened his mouth wide in surprise, as if he had seen such a miraculous scene for the first time.
Even the girl whose face was covered by the hood opened her cherry mouth protruding from under the hood, obviously quite 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, let him see it? It's rare for us to meet a mage."
After a long silence, the hooded girl let go of her left hand holding the cloak, causing the cloak to slide off, revealing the blackness of her right arm.
Then, the girl named Mira slowly raised her right arm, revealing the scene she had been hiding all along.
The arm is as black as a hard shell, covered with bumps that look like tumors but not tumors, dense like compound eyes.
The palm of the hand is even more ferocious, and the fingers are as sharp as ghost claws.
Being seen with such an arm, Mira seemed unbearably ashamed and indignant, and the whole ghost arm trembled slightly.
Kewen sighed secretly, then stepped forward slowly, and came in front of the three of them.
Glanced at Mira who lowered his head even more~IndoMTL.com~ Then Ke Wen looked at the whole ghost arm, and after a while he said softly: "It's ok, I already understand."
Hearing this, Mira immediately withdrew her arm and hid under the cloak again.
Lisanna immediately asked eagerly: "Excuse me! What happened to my sister's arm? Is there any way to cure it!?"
"This is receiving magic."
Although Ke Wen didn't see anything at all, he knew the other party's information, because the three people in front of him will be members of the "Fairy Tail Guild" in the future, and they will also be the main characters.
So, Ke Wen simply followed the script and explained to the three people: "The so-called receiving magic is the magic that can receive the power of monsters or animals and use it for oneself."
"In terms of subdivision, it can be divided into "partial reception" that only receives part of the target's body, and "whole body reception" that fully receives the target."
Hearing this, Lisanna said anxiously: "But sister, she didn't learn any 'receiving magic'?"
"It's her talent." Ke Wen looked at Mira and explained, "Have you ever met a monster with such an arm?"
Seeing the three nodding at the same time, Ke Wen continued: "That's right, even if a person with strong talent has not learned to 'receive magic', he may passively receive the power of monsters."
"Then..."
Mira under the hood and cloak spoke for the first time and asked in a low voice, "Can my arm return to normal?"
"I'm going to join a union called 'Fairy Tail'."
Kevin stepped past 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, Ke Wen stopped and turned his head: "Aren't you going to follow?"
Hearing this, the three brothers and sisters looked at each other, and then quickly caught up with Kewen...
