Chapter 32 Do you crave power?
It's night.
Wayne enjoyed his dinner and fed the white doves from his hat. At the same time, he took out a magic book on basic theories related to the messenger bird and studied it to consolidate his memory.
He has memorized this book by heart, but still takes it out and reads it every day.
"Gu Gu Gu——"
On the table, the pigeon seemed to be frightened by something, and it cooed and got into the hat.
Wayne glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a shadow on the edge of the window. Its golden eyes were cold and ruthless, staring at him.
The shadow was about thirty centimeters high, quiet and motionless. Below the eyes, something like a tentacle curled up and twisted.
Wayne was startled, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was not something indescribable, but a completely black owl, staring straight at him, with a mouse in its mouth.
The rat is alive and its twisted tentacles are tails.
"You're a unique little girl, you're really good looking."
Wayne complained and waved his hand to drive away the curious owl. Unexpectedly, the owl was so courageous that he flapped his wings and landed on the table, placing the mouse in front of Wayne.
The gray mouse immediately began to pretend to be dead after being put down by the owl, and its tail stopped moving.
Wayne didn't know why, and then he saw the black owl push the mouse with its talon, and then tilted its head and looked towards him. The expression seemed to say, Master Cat has reserved the place tonight, open it up and eat, there are enough mouse strips.
Wayne was delighted that the wild owls were not afraid of strangers at all and were so hospitable. In comparison, his messenger bird, the snowy owl, simply deserved a beating.
"Thank you so much, but I won't eat this. I've already had dinner." Wayne waved his hands, trying to make the owl leave on its own.
The effect was average. The black owl obviously misunderstood something. He pressed his paw on the mouse's head, and with a click, the mouse changed from pretending to be dead to actually being dead.
After cooking the ingredients, the owl pushed it toward Wayne with its talons.
"This is not a matter of death or death. Forget it, you have good intentions..."
Wayne was very helpless. He was very grateful, but he really didn't want to eat this stuff. He stood up and raised his hands in an attempt to scare the owl away.
It was no use. The owl tilted its head and didn't look frightened at all.
On the contrary, Wayne is acting like a fool!
"You're a very smart boy. You know who is a good person and who won't hurt you. It's a pity that you're late. The Wayne family's staff is full. I can only take care of your meal, but not your meal." full."
"Go, go, if you don't leave, I'll give you extra food."
Wayne reached out to catch the owls, but the latter did not want to be touched by him, so he pushed them away. The black owls stood on the window edge, flapped their wings and disappeared into the night sky.
"Quite cute..."
"How about changing to a night-type messenger bird?"
Wayne cleaned up the dead mice on the table and sat down to continue reading. The familiar sight made him speechless. He turned around and saw that the same owl just now had another mouse in its mouth.
"There are so many rats!"
Wayne complained and opened his arms to prevent the owl from entering the house. Just when he was about to close the window, the owl flew away on its own.
Wayne didn't move, just stood there, wondering what new tricks the owl could pull off.
Two minutes later, Wayne was shocked.
The owl took back a necklace and placed it on the window edge.
The overall shape of the necklace is a winged cross star, with lifelike wings. The cross star in the middle is hollow and inlaid with a ruby and a large number of broken diamonds. The style looks like Renaissance jewelry.
Brother Cat understands me!
Wayne's heart was pounding. He picked up the necklace and looked at it. His eyes suddenly lit up. There was a lot of soil on the necklace, as if it had just been dug out.
"Qidi, ah...do you still have this thing?"
Wayne raised his hand and gestured, sighing that good people are rewarded. God is watching what people do.
I don’t know if the owl understood, but it understood Wayne’s behavior of treating the necklace and the mouse differently, and after another two minutes, he took back a ring.
Afterwards, earrings, bracelets, bracelets and other jewelry were picked up one by one by the owl.
Wayne was so happy that his molars were exposed.
Change it, change it tonight!
Snowy Owl is unorganized and undisciplined, free and undisciplined, lacks a sense of collective honor and dedication, cannot maintain good communication with superiors, and is not qualified for his current position. After a meeting, it was decided that the Snow Owl was demoted to mascot and the Lucky Cat was appointed as the Wayne family's only night-time homing bird.
What the black owl brought were small objects. Wayne speculated that the other party had discovered a large treasure, and it was in a semi-open air. He could dig out a large amount with just a scratch of his talons.
In order to prevent the cultural relic dealers from wasting their valuables and selling the valuable jewelry at a low price, Wayne decided to keep it by himself. He climbed out of the window, easily jumped down from the second floor, and followed the black owl to the treasure hiding place.
During this period, he lost his target several times, and the black owl would come back to guide him.
Half an hour later, Wayne stumbled into a deep forest and found a cave between rocks.
Wayne took a flashlight and looked into the cave. It was extremely narrow at first, and then he could pass through. After walking dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear.
He hesitated in his heart, but the supernatural sense did not issue a warning. He pondered for a moment, and based on the concept that everyone is responsible for rescuing precious treasures, he went sideways into the cave.
The black owl walked in front. After the space in the cave expanded, it flapped its wings and landed on a shadow.
Wayne took a flashlight and shined it over. It was a seated stone statue, holding a book in his hand. Due to its age, it was wrapped in vines, so its true appearance could not be seen clearly.
Wayne's attention was attracted by the book. He stepped forward to check and found that there were obvious traces of a mechanism on the stone palm. If he wanted to take out the book, he had to turn on the mechanism. I don’t know what kind of material this book is made of. It has not shown any signs of corruption after many years. The writing is as clean as new and not stained by any dust.
Wayne saw the pattern of a six-pointed star on the cover, which reminded him of one of the three iron doors in the gym, and guessed that this book was a magic book.
Wonderful, time has finally turned!
Wayne has read a lot of novels. The hero's rise to fortune is exactly the same as he is now. He accidentally enters a cave, picks up a secret book and achieves a magical feat, turns left when going out, slaps girls in the face, and finally becomes invincible. Unify the world.
The channel has moved from martial arts to Western Fantasy, but the problem is not big. It remains the same. The routines in the East and West actually have the same meaning, and the West is even a bit whiter.
Wayne looked for the mechanism with a flashlight and found a line of writing under the stone-carved chair.
"Kneel me a hundred times, get my inheritance, accept me as your teacher, obey my orders..."
The knowledge of translation is profound and profound. This is not the original saying, but Wayne translated it to almost mean this.
"I seem to have seen this routine before somewhere!"
Wayne complained that according to this man's wishes, he would have to kneel down a hundred times and then become a disciple and obey his orders in order to obtain the inherited magic book.
It is impossible to kneel down, and kneeling on one knee is for the king, and both knees are for the faith. It is not popular to kneel to the teacher here, so he chanted: "Teacher is on top, let the students bow to you."
After saying that, he pretended to bend over and jumped up on the spot.
He guessed that the mechanism was underground. Jumping and kneeling a hundred times would have the same effect. As expected, he successfully triggered the mechanism after jumping about ten times.
The vines wrapped around the stone statue spread out in all directions like poisonous snakes. The stone statue holding the magic book slowly stood up. Judging from the figure, it seemed to be a woman wearing a hooded robe.
The black owl fluttered its wings and flew away, making a horrifying cry.
The stone statue stepped off the seat, stiffly stretched out his hands and handed the magic book in front of Wayne. His solemn appearance did have a sense of inherited ritual.
Wayne was stunned for a moment, thinking that since everyone was dead, kneeling down on one knee was somewhat of a sign of respect for the cheap master.
Then I thought about it, everyone is dead anyway, it doesn't matter whether they kneel or not, there is no need to pursue superficiality, just keep some respect in your heart.
He shamelessly took the magic book, and just as Minute Maid was about to open it, he heard the stone statue slowly speak: "You take my magic book, and you will be my student from now on. You must obey the teacher's instructions obediently, and you are not allowed to go back on your word."
Oh my god, you can still talk!
Wayne's eyes widened and he nodded repeatedly while holding the magic book. The teacher walked slowly and the students stopped giving it away.
Teacher, why don’t you leave yet? You should go!
It was impossible to walk. The dust particles on the surface of the stone statue fell off, revealing the slender and voluptuous body inside. The female mage wore a hooded robe, had body temperature and breathed, and was clearly alive.
The black owl fluttered its wings and landed on the female mage's shoulder, lowered its head and disappeared into the robe.
The female mage pulled down her hood. She had short hair and a delicate face. It was clearly Xifei's face.
Wayne: (一`一)
He didn’t believe it, so he looked at it with a flashlight and confirmed that it was indeed Heaphy Valentine.
Are you actually a magician? !
"Wayne, although this apprenticeship was a bit hasty and you are seriously lacking in sincerity, you have passed my test before and proved your character. If you accept this magic book, you will be my student from now on."
Xifei smiled slightly, lowered her voice and said seductively: "How about it, after seeing the truth of this world, do you start to crave power?"
Young man, do you crave power?
This routine is still very old. Wayne rolled his eyes, raised his hand and waved it in front of Xifei's eyes. A wisp of pure magic power overflowed, instantly interrupting Xifei's pretending to be a disciple.
"You're late. Someone has already told me the truth about the world."
"Are you actually a magician?!"
Xifei stood there blankly. After spending a day together, she found no trace of magic on Wayne.
This is not surprising. Many excellent magicians can restrain their aura and behave like ordinary people.
She was amazed at Wayne's magic, not much, but absolutely pure.
The pitiful amount of magic power shows that Wayne has just come into contact with magic. The hidden magic power is difficult to observe, and the purity shows that he is a genius!
Excellent teachers, parents kneel down to seek employment, and outstanding students, even if the school offers scholarships, they will grab one.
In this case, the method of recruiting disciples will have to change. Xifei secretly thought that it would be tricky. Maybe she would have to put pressure on to snatch Wayne from the hands of another magician.
Would it be bad if we robbed people when we first came to Lundan?
Xifei waved his hand and erected an earthen wall to block the exit of the cave. His eyes were dancing with faint green flames, and he said with a serious expression: "Wayne, tell the truth, who is your teacher and who led you into this cave?" The path of magic?"
"There is no teacher."
"impossible……"
"There is indeed no teacher. A cursed unlucky guy planted a magic seed in my body, and then I found my own magic power." Wayne told the truth, ignoring the unlucky guy's name.
At this time, he was still surprised by Xifei's identity as a magician. He was also a costume designer and a magician. Can he be busy?
"How long have you mastered magic?"
"In a few days, just this week, if I hadn't left London, I would have signed up for night school."
"..."
What the hell kind of place is night school? Is it worthy of you?
Xifei was silent. It was a ridiculous way to guide magic. The simple and rough guidance method was obviously not a powerful magician.
Very good, since the other party left Wayne alone and let him wander outside, then she was not polite.
Goddess above, this disciple can develop!
