Chapter 3: The Magic Puzzle of the Slums

Walking on the main road of Finland City, Du Kang tightened his coat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he carried a package with him, the kind that was more tattered, and the fur was also a little tattered and tattered. It's not that Du Kang can't afford to buy better, and it's not that he's reluctant, but because he's more cautious.

Because the place he is going to is a slum.

Old Tom taught others not to forget their roots, so every once in a while, Du Kang would visit his former friends in the slums.

By the way, bring them some things for the winter, although not much, but at least it can help them survive.

As soon as he entered the slum, Du Kang felt that many eyes were looking at him, some vigilant, some hopeful, and some ill-intentioned...... He could read those gazes because he had been one of them.

But he did not make some kind alms, and he knew that if he showed his intention to give at this time, then soon more and more people would gather around him, so many that they would overwhelm him.

Even if he didn't show it, there were some people who began to surround him at this time.

Du Kang had already prepared, a small magic wand slid from his sleeve to his hand, and he gently rubbed the button on it. A ray of light erupted from his hand, setting off Du Kang in a burst of light.

Although this is only an enhanced version of the magic light wand, this casual movement and arrogant posture make it look like Du Kang is a magician!

This little trick will not fool the real magicians and the well-informed, but it will be enough to frighten the poor people of these slums.

Soon the gaze that peeked at him decreased considerably, and the figure that was about to move shrank back into the dilapidated room, shivering. It's hard to imagine that a second ago they were like a pack of hungry wolves.

Turning around, Du Kang came to a relatively intact wooden house.

With a slight whistle, a small hole opened in the wooden door, and a pair of vigilant eyes appeared on the wooden door.

"It's me. Liquor. ”

After the name was announced, the vigilant eyes quickly turned into joy and excitement, and then the wooden door was opened, and the owner of those eyes had long since disappeared, and ran to the back with joy all the way to inform the others.

Du Kang approached the wooden gate and waited in the courtyard.

Soon, a half-grown teenager appeared in front of Du Kang's eyes in a wide leather coat.

"Du Kang, you're here. The boy was surrounded by a group of boys and girls, smiling and greeting.

"Green, long time no see. Du Kang also greeted with a smile.

"It's windy outside, come in quickly. Green ran over and took Du Kang's hand, he was about the same height as Du Kang, but his appearance was not as weak as Du Kang's, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a middle-aged man's resolute taste.

The house inside was very large, because it was empty, and there were more than a dozen quilts against the wall, but there were more than two dozen little ones gathered around.

Obviously, Green and they are new again.

"Hey, little ones, take the candy and play the puzzle, okay...... I'm going to have a good talk with your brother Du Kang. Green took out a handful of candy from Dukang's package and gave it to the little ones.

Then he said in a low voice: "A while ago, another group of people came, and no one was willing to take them in." Several of them froze to death, so I ......," Green explained.

"I didn't expect that. Du Kang said. Because I didn't expect it, I only brought the previous amount.

food, with a small amount of heating tools.

Green shook his head and said, "Enough." At least survive this winter. ”

Du Kang frowned, he never went to school, and with old Tom, he could still calculate the math. How can there be so many people?

Perhaps Green saw Dukang's intentions, and he quickly explained, "That's enough, because I'm leaving." ”

Leave?Du Kang's brow furrowed even more.

Where can orphans who have nothing to do to earn a living? It is more dangerous to go to the city than to go to the slums, where there are people who occupy the territory, and some people even deliberately come to the slums, take some orphans, and break their hands and feet to beg on the streets.

"Academy of Astrology. Green gave an answer that surprised Dukang.

Green then confirmed his suspicions, as a fire erupted from his fingertips.

A fire, a flame that can only be released by a magician without the help of any magical equipment!

The flame flickered on and off at his fingertips, and it looked like it could go out at any moment, and two seconds later, Green was sweating profusely, and the flame was gradually extinguishing after a jump.

"It's just a little bit of time. Green said with some embarrassment.

"Congratulations. Even so, Du Kang couldn't help but exclaim.

Magical talent is a very magical existence, perhaps magical talent is the fairest thing in the world, even orphans in the slums have the possibility of becoming magicians. And if you are unlucky, no matter how rich you are, you will not be able to become a magician.

Since Green possessed the magic power and unleashed the flame without any guidance, it was only natural that he would be eligible to enter the Academy of Astrology in Finland City.

And be able to take a person in.

Because magicians need squires, and that's a good reason.

No wonder he said enough was enough. Du Kang thought.

In the future, if he succeeds in cultivation, it will not be difficult for Green to take everyone here away.

"Wow, wow, come on~" At this moment, on the wall of the house, a group of boys and girls suddenly burst into cheers.

Du Kang turned his head to look over, and saw a group of people surrounding the wall, and there was an escalator next to it, and on the escalator, a little boy was trying to stick something to the wall.

Du Kang could faintly see a painting, a portrait on the wall.

"It's a magic puzzle, we used to play it a lot when we were kids, these little ones have been collecting it for two months, and looking at the way they look, it looks like they're almost finished. Green smiled and put his arm around Dukang's shoulder.

"Let's go over and see what the little ones have put together. ”

............

The puzzle is five or six meters long, each small puzzle is about the size of a palm, there are various shapes, the texture of the puzzle is very silky, this material Du Kang is very familiar with, magic rough stone.

In this way, the faint lines on the magic rough stone are probably miniature magic arrays.

At this moment, nine out of ten of the puzzles on the wall have been completely put together, and the outline of the puzzle has been fully formed.

It's an ordinary character puzzle, but with the addition of magic, it's no longer ordinary.

"Brother Du Kang, there is only one piece left, you come. The boy who was holding the last two pieces of the puzzle on the ladder slid down the ladder and handed the puzzle to Dukang.

"Yes, yes, Brother Du Kang, help me spell it. The children around him chattered.

In their eyes, except for Green, Du Kang is the best person in their hearts.

"Come on, don't refuse the enthusiasm of these little ones. Green touched the little boy's head, then smiled at Dukang.

Du Kang's heart warmed, and he followed the escalator to the center of the puzzle.

The characters can't tell the male or female until they've fully completed the puzzle, just a vague outline. And these last two pieces of the puzzle are the last two unfinished parts of the figure painting - the eyes.

The little ones below kept cheering, and Du Kang tried to turn sideways and dip the last two pieces of the puzzle on.

Airplanes~

The puzzle suddenly erupted with a burst of light, and the streamer began to spread from the eyes to the surrounding area until the light filled the entire picture.

Gradually, the vague outlines of the characters gradually became clear.

It was a beautiful girl in a black robe and a high hat on her head, in the background of a tall doorway.

She was holding a wooden pole with a crystal ball at the top.

She stood in front of the door, and a pair of bright eyes were as bright as starlight, which lit up the whole room. Looking at those eyes, Du Kang was a little distracted for a while.

The mage's robe floated in the wind, and she made a bent courtesy, as if to come out of the painting.

The staff waved slightly, a dazzling light flickered, and the door behind the girl slowly opened.

"Look, it looks like a magician!"

A group of children are excited, and the most mysterious type of person in the world is magicians.

Even the children of the slums often hear about the legends of magicians, many of whom have flown to the sky and moved mountains and seas. Although they only heard a few words, they were enough to arouse the curiosity of these children.

Everyone was holding their breath and staring at the wall, motionless.

With the swing of the staff in the girl's hand, the door full of strange patterns behind her lit up one by one, and then the door slowly opened.

As soon as the light curtain lit up, the wall suddenly changed into a shocking scene.

Towering towers stand against the mountain, and the endless buildings echo each other, with quaint bell towers and majestic towers looming in the distance, and a huge green meadow in the distance.

The perspective moves with the person, and after crossing a forest road, the green meadow is finally fully presented in front of everyone.

The grass was bustling with hundreds of people dressed like magical girls in groups of three or five on the grass, and from time to time there were flames in the crowd, water jets soaring into the sky, and the ground cracking......

All kinds of magical scenes, just looking at them from a distance, are already shocking.

"This ...... Is this magic?" said Green's eyes with anticipation. Although it is a little unreal, the flame that erupts is much stronger than the small fireworks at my fingertips.

As the girl walked, a slight tremor gradually appeared on the light curtain, giving people an extremely strong illusion, as if they were walking on this vast green meadow.

Then just as everyone was about to marvel at the reality of this picture, a broom suddenly appeared in the hand of the magical girl, and then smiled confidently behind her.

"Are you ready to visit the academy?"

This is just the beginning, everyone is still reminiscing about the slightly playful words of the magical girl, but the scene suddenly switches, the light curtain flashes violently, and only a piece of ...... is left on the entire mural

Blue sky!

"She's flying!" I don't know who shouted first.

Du Kang looked at it, and sure enough, when the picture stabilized from violently, the towers and tall buildings had surrendered to his feet.

Magic, what a magical existence!

Everyone couldn't help but think.

"Roar~" Suddenly, there was a roar of a beast from somewhere, and everyone's faces couldn't help but change, and they all gasped.

The magical girl flew through a vast mountain forest, and a large group of unknown tall beasts collapsed through the forest, and a few people hugged the thick trees and broke and fell to the ground under the collapse of the beasts.

Even in the sky, you can feel the impact of the beasts on the ground hitting the trees and jungles.

When did these young children see such a scene, some of them were timid, and when they saw those demon beasts, they had already secretly hid behind Green and Du Kang, covering their eyes. Just from the gaps between their fingers, you can see the curiosity and yearning for this kind of place in their hearts.

"Hey, Natasha, how are you doing?" a voice came from nowhere, and a black dot suddenly appeared in the sky. Then the black dot grew bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of you.

But it's a magician girl who dresses up like a magical girl!

Also ride a broomstick and soar through the sky!

"Look behind her!" someone exclaimed.

I saw that behind the unknown magical girl, countless black dots suddenly emerged.

What is that? Could it be a bunch of flying magicians?

"Welcome to the Academy of Light Magic, I'm Merlin Natasha. ”

"Hum~"

The picture suddenly vanished, instantly turned into darkness, and there was no flowing luster on the walls, and then only a fresh girl in a black robe, a high hat, and a magic wand remained.

"Why not?"

"What's going on?"

The children cried out, apparently not seeing enough.

"It must be that this magic puzzle piece is broken, otherwise it wouldn't have been in the garbage dump of the slums. Green explained.

"Unless you spell it all over again, it's still incomplete. I don't know what other scenes are behind it...... "Green is a little regretful, for him who is about to enter the Academy of Magic, this kind of puzzle advertisement can help him understand this kind of place in advance.

"Then let's fight again. The little boy picked up the escalator, and the group of little ones yelled to see it again. Green was about to drag Du Kang to the campfire to roast the fire, only to find Du Kang suddenly staring straight at the already dim magic puzzle pieces, frowning and muttering to himself.

"Radiant Academy of Magic, a familiar name......"

Just as Green was wondering what to ask, he found that Du Kang's eyes lit up, and he pulled his legs and ran out.
