Chapter 4: The Crystal Ball
Tom Sr's greatest wish in life was to open grocery stores all over Finland City so that the people of Finland City could use his magic lamps. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this wish is also Du Kang's wish.
But before Old Tom died, the old man who liked to drink rum said something like this: "Hey, boy, don't think about changing careers easily after I die, in this world, except for the profession of magician, Lao Tzu works in the best grocery store." ”
"Well, you might change your mind later, but if you can really open groceries all over Finland City, who's to say it isn't...... Well, if you're going to change careers, I mean, if you suddenly have a talent for magic one day, and the grocery store can't do it, then you're going to be a magician. As for anything else, don't think about it. You can't do it......"
The grocery store couldn't survive, so he went to work as a magician. Du Kang summed it up this way.
And Du Kang, who was running wildly on the road, kept recalling the words of old Tom before his death in his mind at this moment......
and the message you hear when you turn on the lucky magic.
"This lucky cube is jointly organized by the Payne family and the Imperial Radiance Academy, and those who have this badge can get an admission quota to the Imperial Radiant Academy, regardless of age, regardless of gender, as long as they have this badge, they can enter the Radiant Academy. This lottery is valid for a long time, work hard, lucky ones. Welcome to the Radiant Academy of Magic. ”
There really is the Radiant Magic Academy, and that beautiful magical girl named Natasha!
If this is really a scam, then everything I saw in the slums just now is too much of a coincidence!
Du Kang shouted in his heart.
If that Payne family and the Radiant Academy of Magic were real, and the quota was real, then this jackpot must have been a relatively important thing at the time, so I think about it...... Looks like you can find it.
He ran to the Magic Guild on Tonglan Street at great speed.
"Where's the Universal Crystal Ball?" Du Kang asked the blonde girl in charge of the reception, almost yelling.
"In, over there......" The blonde girl seemed to be frightened by Du Kang's expression, and timidly pointed in a direction.
By the time she turned around, Du Kang was gone.
The universal crystal ball can query anything, as long as you can afford the relevant information.
Of course, there are some state secrets or very private things, which are a different matter.
The magic crystal ball is in a small dark room, and there is only one crystal ball suspended in the air in the whole room.
"I want to check, Finnish City, no, is there a name for the Payne family and the Radiant Magic Academy in the Darahan Empire?"
The magic crystal ball emitted a burst of purple light, and a crisp female voice sounded.
"Answer: I need a silver coin, please put in a coin. ”
Without hesitation, Du Kang took out a silver coin from his bosom and threw it into a coin box next to him.
After the silver coin was inserted, the magic crystal ball spun and the light flickered for two seconds, and the answer was given.
"Yes. The Payne family, a family of imperial meritorious service, and now the Patriarch of Payne is the Marquis of Imperial Glory. ”
"The Radiant Academy of Magic, the Empire's third-level magic academy, was founded more than four hundred years ago, has a long history, and has cultivated countless powerful magicians. ”
Du Kang's breathing suddenly increased, but then he was a little worried, if the liar really wanted to make a scam, wouldn't he just fabricate a lie and borrow the name of a certain academy or big family?
After thinking about it, he asked again.
"I want to check the relationship between the Payne family and the Radiant Academy of Magic, do they have any cooperation about the lucky cube, such as the jackpot is an admission spot?"
After asking this question, Du Kang stood with bated breath, he didn't notice that the corners of his clothes were pinched and pulled out of a large fold, which was extremely unsightly.
The magic crystal ball kept flickering, and after a long time of no answer, Du Kang's rising expectation gradually fell again.
What he didn't know was that the Lucky Rubik's Cube was banned from public issuance more than ten years ago, so even if there was such a thing, it would be an old thing, and even with the ability of the magic crystal ball, it would take a lot of time to find out.
The crystal ball finally spoke, but it almost made Du Kang scold.
"Please put in five silver coins. ”
Du Kang threw five silver coins into the coin box fiercely, and then stared at the crystal ball tightly, pricking up his ears.
Here comes the answer.
"The Payne family had a commercial partnership with the Radiant Academy of Magic fifteen years ago, issuing a total of 105,000 and eight lucky cubes. Among them, there are 55,000 third-order Rubik's cubes, 33,000 fourth-order Rubik's cubes, 17,000 fifth-order Rubik's cubes, and 10,000 sixth-order Rubik's cubes. Eight seventh-order Rubik's cubes. ”
"According to the published results, there are eight important awards, one each of the third-order Rubik's cube and the seventh-order Rubik's cube, and two of the remaining fourth, fifth and sixth-order Rubik's cubes. ”
"One of the big prizes is the admission quota to the Radiant Academy of Magic, which is hidden in the fourth-order Rubik's Cube. ”
"The rest of the heavy rewards are one month of personal guidance from the Great Magician, one month of cultivation in the Mage Tower, and one month of cultivation in the Magic Trial Ground......"
"The number of winners was kept secret at the time, but it was later announced, and they were Saul Daureth, Blom Matthias, ......"
"There is still a big prize hanging in the air, and it is ...... for the admission quota of the Radiant Academy of Magic"
The magic crystal ball kept emitting purple light, and it took a long time to stop, and a series of messages echoed in the small room, until the last message was sent, Du Kang was still in a daze.
Actually, it's true......
Did you really win a jackpot and an entrance spot to the Wizard's Academy?
Du Kang's breathing suddenly became thick, and he thought a lot in an instant.
For example, the name of the Radiant Academy of Magic, such as another name related to this name, Merlin Natasha, the eyes of the owner of that name.
Du Kang almost rushed all the way back to Tom's grocery store, and by the time he returned, his sweat had soaked his thick coat and his hair on his forehead was a mess. In such a winter, if you get soaked, it will be easy to catch a cold, and even Du Kang has already felt a slight cold......
But at this time, Du Kang's heart was hot!
He took out the sixth-order Rubik's Cube and the six-pointed star badge that he had thrown in a corner again, and his careful movements were as if he were looking at a peerless treasure.
"Radiant Academy of Magic, Academy of Magic, Natasha ......"
Du Kang muttered, and then the whole person leaned back, lying on the chair, his lips invisibly opened, opening to the maximum.
"I'm going to be a magician...... You see. ”
Du Kang pointed in a certain direction and raised the badge and Rubik's Cube in his hand.
........................
After being happy for a long time, Du Kang finally calmed down, and the reason for his calmness was simple, because of the cold.
The hot sweat that rushed all the way home turned into cold sweat under the power of time, and the cold piece combined with the breeze blowing through the room made Du Kang shiver.
He immediately regained his composure, slowly wrapped the Rubik's Cube and the badge, then poured hot water and took a bath.
In the steaming water, his mind warmed up, and he gradually thought of some new questions.
For example, where is the Radiant Magic Academy, and for example, after fifteen years, does the Radiant Magic Academy still admit the agreement of the year, there is still a sixth-order Rubik's Cube hidden in the fourth-order Rubik's Cube that he has unraveled, what is in that sixth-order Rubik's Cube? Another prize?
I don't have a magical talent, and I don't meet the requirements?
What would you learn if you did get in?
Can you fly like the magicians in that puzzle?
Thinking about it, a series of noisy questions in Du Kang's mind, before he fell asleep, finally left only one question in the magical girl's eyes as deep as stars.
"Beautiful Natasha, I went...... Can I see you?"
