Chapter 22 Experiment

After Bao Bao landed, he finally came back to his senses. Lan

She immediately released her hand covering her pocket and lowered her head to look inside.

After discovering that there was nothing wrong with the gems, she said to Milo and Craig, who came over to check, "I can't die. Coven said I can't kill anyone with my current strength."

"Jana, please..."

Milo rolled his eyes and lectured: "Next time when we fight, can you stand farther away? Or just use your trap gun. It's too dangerous for you to fight at close range! Look at where you kick. !”

Looking down at the two unconscious gangsters, Milo said tiredly: "One for the neck and the other for the chin. The skills Ke Wen taught you are all for killing people, right? If you misjudge your own strength, these two The bastard is gone!"

"Kevin said..."

"When?!" Milo interrupted with a strong tone: "How long has it been since he said you couldn't kill someone?" Lan

Seeing that Bao Bao was choking, Milo continued to insist: "Don't you know that strength will increase?! With your current strength, if you meet an opponent as thin as mine, you will definitely die in one strike!"

"Milo!

"

Bao Bao stamped his feet angrily: "I hate you!"

"Hey..." Milo shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Okay you two!"

Wei stopped her from not too far away, and then she stepped forward and squatted down next to the yellow-haired man who was covering his face and moaning.

There was a 'pop' sound. Lan

Wei waved his hand and opened Huang Mao's arm covering his face.

Then she looked down at the other person and said coldly: "Remember my face!"

He stretched out his finger and pointed at his face: "Wei Aolai! The boss of the black alley! If you want revenge, just come! Of course..."

She showed a look of disdain again: "You can tell the law enforcement officers my information. Anyway, looking at the way you hang around at the 'Border Market', you probably don't want to share the joys and sorrows with us Zuan people. .”

She stood up slowly,

And continued to provoke him with irony: "Maybe after you betray us, you will get the opportunity to live in the upper city because of your merits!"

"shut up!"

Huang Mao ignored the severe pain on his face and half sat up. Lan

He raised his head and roared at Wei: "I'm from Zaan! I won't be so shameless!

"

"Huh...who knows?"

Wei had initially achieved her goal, so she stopped.

She didn't say anything more to stimulate the other person, but turned around and left.

When Wei and the four of them disappeared at the end of the alley, the yellow-haired gangster covered his face and stood up unsteadily.

He glanced at his subordinates lying next to him, holding his stomach and groaning, and then looked at his two subordinates who were still unconscious a few meters away.

The teeth were bitten and made a "squeaking" sound, and the yellow-haired gangster's eyes became filled with hatred! Lan

Of course, there was still hesitation and unwillingness on his face!

After thinking about it, Huang Mao simply ignored his three men. He covered his face and quickly left the alley, heading all the way to the end of the rift valley near the seaside.

…

On the other side, Wei and the others were jumping and sliding along the buildings and pipelines, and they were returning to the Blue Bird Gang's station.

Because they got into trouble, they did not choose to take the elevator.

This is to avoid being seen entering and exiting the Rift Valley, so that law enforcement officials may suspect and investigate them earlier.

As for the only omission in this operation, it depends on that Huang Mao. It depends on whether the other party will be successfully provoked because of the issue of face, thereby helping them hide the information from the law enforcement officers. Lan

Vi had already anticipated some consequences.

This disaster may not be so easy to calm down.

But Wei knew in her heart that she had a way to solve this incident, but the method would make her feel guilty.

Sighing secretly all the way, Wei returned to the gang station with the other three people not long after.

This operation took a long time.

Seeing that it was almost dinner time, Wei quickly handed over the large bag of harvest to Craig and asked him to go to the black market to dispose of it as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Wei warned all the gang members that it would be very chaotic recently and asked them not to run around. Lan

Without any time to elaborate, Wei and Bangbao said goodbye to everyone and quickly returned to the repair shop.

at the same time.

Coven sent Fandel away who came to inform, and then returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.

After a while, his movements suddenly paused, but he continued the movements of his hands as if nothing had happened.

got used to……

In the past three years, the number of 'templated universes' in his body has exceeded two thousand.

However, none of his own universe could be exploded! Lan

Yesterday, luck came and he blasted out a new universe that was nearly stable.

Ke Wen immediately carefully maintained it.

But the result was that it was a useless effort.

Just a short moment ago, that universe also collapsed instantly due to a conflict of rules.

Kewen, who has long been accustomed to this kind of failure, is not in a hurry.

No one can control this purely luck-based thing.

Time meant nothing to him anyway. Lan

Therefore, after the new universe exploded, Kewen didn't take it seriously at all.

While he was cooking, he turned his attention to another thing.

What was supposed to come came.

Coven knows how plot inertia, the rules of fate, work.

So he knew a long time ago that even if he adopted Wei and Baobao, the plot that promoted the development of the world would still happen.

Just now, Fandel came over to inform that a building in the upper city had been bombed, and the suspects were four children.

There is no need to discuss it, both of them know that this matter has nothing to do with Wei and the others. Lan

Different from the original plot, now, it is Coven, not Fander, who adopts Vi and Blast.

Therefore, Fandel will only protect and be responsible for the two boys in his family.

As for Wei and Baobao, that is the matter of Ke Wen, the parent.

Unless Coven speaks in person, Fandel will take the initiative to provide help for the sake of friendship and morality.

This kind of thing was tacitly understood by everyone, so Fandel did not stay to discuss any countermeasures with Kewen, but went directly back to the bar to prepare to wipe the butts of the two boys Milo and Craig.

What Kewen is thinking about now is whether to start the plan in his heart now.

What he hesitated about was that Bao Bao was still too young. Lan

Although Wei has matured a lot, she still has a little impulsiveness in doing things.

And Bao Bao is only eleven years old, and her three views have not yet been fully established.

If the plan is started now, I am afraid that explosion will become an uncertain factor in the plan.

Therefore, Kewen kept rehearsing in his mind, rehearsing how to remedy the situation if the explosion disrupted the plan.

It wasn't until the sound of pushing the door that he came back to his senses.

I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, why do I think so much?

It just depends on how Wei and Bangbao choose. Even if the plan goes awry, isn't it because he still has to take care of the two little girls? Lan

Thinking of this, Kewen immediately focused all his attention on cooking.

"Kevin."

Wei who came in said hello: "Baobao and I are back."

"Get ready to eat." Ke Wen responded from the kitchen.

Soon, Ke Wen placed the food on the dining table, and Wei and Bao Bao also sat down obediently.

Coven didn't say anything.

After finishing the meal, he stopped the two little girls who were about to go upstairs. Lan

Sitting face to face on the sofa, Ke Wen looked at the two little girls whose eyes were wandering and said, "I heard some news."

"We did it."

Before Ke Wen finished speaking, Wei immediately admitted it: "I'm sorry Ke Wen, it was my fault. I was in a hurry to retreat, so I accidentally caused the explosion."

】

"I was wrong too."

Bao Bao took out the five sapphires from his pocket.

She held the gem in her hands and said, "I didn't hold it firmly, so one piece fell out."

Corwin looked at the gems. Lan

Feeling the arcane power contained in it, he asked knowingly: "What is this?"

"Very interesting stuff!"

Baobao took out the notebook from her pocket again. She showed it to Kewen with excitement: "Look, there are ideas and conjectures about this kind of magical energy in it!"

Ke Wen stared at the notebook and was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that Baobao would get this crucial notebook back!

Without this notebook, Victor, the assistant coach who was born in the bottom city, might not have discovered Jace Tallis's inventive ideas.

If Victor had not developed a sense of identity, he would not have helped Jess Tallis continue to improve his inventions, or even provide research equipment, as in the original plot. Lan

The most important thing is that if Victor hadn't come to the door with a notebook, Jess Tallis's suicide by jumping off the building would probably have been successful without anyone knowing!

Thinking of this, Ke Wen couldn't help but cover his forehead.

what to do?

What else can be done? He went to wipe the butts of the two little girls.

Just now, I was rehearsing what to do if the plan was disrupted. Unexpectedly, the first step of the plan was already messed up by Blast.

After thinking about it, Kewen quickly changed his plan in his mind.

He downgraded Jace Tallis' importance in the plan. Lan

After re-planning in a short moment, Ke Wen looked at Wei.

He asked: "How many omissions were made this time?"

"The front is fine."

Wei was a little depressed: "We hid ourselves very well when we went to the city. Those idiot law enforcement officers would never find us."

"Yeah." Ke Wen nodded: "If nothing else happens, something will happen, right?"

These words made Wei nodded dully.

"I relaxed too early." Lan

She reflected on herself and said: "Because I caused the explosion, I should have been cautious, but after successfully evacuating the upper city, I relaxed."

She crossed her fingers and clenched her fists hard: "After we returned to the border market, we were discovered by four gangsters. They saw our faces and everyone's features."

"So?" Ke Wen asked in a low voice, "Have you thought about how to remedy it?"

"There is a way."

Wei's answer was not very confident.

She looked at the ground with some guilt and said: "The solution is very simple. Just go to the middle square to find the alchemy barons and buy four people with similar characteristics to us from them to take the blame."

"Yeah." Ke Wen nodded with satisfaction: "This is the best policy." Lan

Vi glanced up at Coven.

Then she lowered her gaze again and laughed at herself in disgust: "But I can't get over this hurdle in my heart! It was us who caused the trouble! But innocent people have to be sacrificed to bear it for us!"

"This is called the price." Kewen Education: "Think twice before doing anything..."

"I know!"

Wei interrupted a little irritably: "I remember what you said! But no one can prevent accidents, right?"

She raised her eyes again, looked at Ke Wen and said, "What needs to be considered now is how to pay the price to solve the problem, right?"

Taking a deep breath, Wei asked expectantly: "Kewen, you must have a better solution, right?"

In response, Kewen spread his hands and shook his head.

"I don't have any better way."

He responded: "If it were me, I would also spend money to buy a scapegoat from the alchemist barons."

"certainly……"

Ke Wen tried to comfort him with a different concept: "Maybe you don't have to feel too guilty. Being a scapegoat is at least better than staying under the Alchemist Baron and working as a pipe cleaner."

He shrugged his shoulders: "After all, as a scavenger, you will lose your arms and legs at any time, or even be poisoned and die. But if you are taken to the prison in the upper city, at least the scapegoats can have food and housing."

"Who believes it?" Lan

Wei whispered: "Although we call those law enforcement officers idiots, they are not really stupid!"

"That's what we as parents should be concerned about."

Ke Wen pointed to himself and then pointed in the direction of the bar: "We always have to take care of the children. It's just a matter of how much we pay."

"Don't worry." He showed a gentle smile: "Fander and I will solve it, but there is a prerequisite. Before the matter is solved, you must not make any more trouble, not even a trace."

"What to do with that idiot?"

Wei was still worried: "I mean that little yellow guy at the border market. They saw us. Even if I provoked him temporarily and made him hide it for the sake of face, what about the future? Maybe he would turn us in. Get out, after all I gave them a good beating then.”

"We can only leave it to fate." Lan

Ke Wen spread his hands: "If he forcibly exposes you, if the law enforcement officer forcibly investigates the truth, then we must be prepared to face difficulties."

Hearing this, Wei couldn't help but sigh deeply.

She still clasped her hands into fists, keeping her elbows on her legs and lowered her gaze again.

"I'm sorry." Wei apologized in a low voice: "Kewen, we have caused you trouble again, and this time it is no longer a small trouble that can be easily solved..."

"It doesn't matter."

Ke Wen reached out and gently rubbed Wei's head: "Just face it together. Remember the lesson this time, Wei, you need to set an example for Bao Bao and other people in your gang. People will imitate the way you behave as the boss, so you must think twice before doing anything.”

"Hmm..." Wei responded softly. Lan

"Go upstairs and rest." Ke Wen said with a smile: "Even if something happens, the training at night cannot be stopped. You haven't started training yet."

Wei nodded, got up and walked upstairs.

"Give me."

Kewen stopped Baobao, who was also getting up, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Put the things here first."

"oh."

Bao Bao stretched out his hand with a stern expression and handed over the five gems and the notebook.

After the sound of explosive footsteps disappeared upstairs, Ke Wen opened the notebook in his hand. Lan

Ignoring the signature of Jace Tallis on each page, Coven quickly flipped through the notebook.

"science and technology?"

He shook his head slightly and snorted.

Coven does not agree with Jess Tallis’s statement of ‘using technology to control magic’.

Jess Tallis takes things for granted.

Even if the other party successfully creates the so-called Hex technology, its essence is just magic after all.

The so-called various technological products are nothing more than the products of magic enchantment. Lan

The starting point of Hex Technology is just a scripted approach to magic.

Ke Wen stopped showing contempt. He picked up a half-finished 'Hex Crystal' and examined it.

The supernatural power in his body could not be completely sealed, so he could see through the inner part of the crystal in his hand with only his naked eyes.

"Control your position..."

He whispered softly: "Use the combination of runes to restrain the arcane magic power between heaven and earth, and achieve the effect of constricting and compressing the magic power..."

He turned the crystal over and looked at the internal structure.

Ke Wen shook his head slightly again: "The insufficient energy supply for the rune combination resulted in the crystal only achieving preliminary convergence and compression effects." Lan

"That's right." He continued suddenly: "After all, I know nothing about magic. Calculated from the concept of technology, this crystal has indeed reached a dangerous critical point."

After finishing the trick, Kewen got up and went to the workshop on the third floor to move a bunch of equipment down.

He moved the equipment into a closed basement and set up a temporary test bed.

Without energy supply, Ke Wen used a few small iron carvings to draw a set of runes.

The combination of runes automatically absorbs the energy floating between heaven and earth and supplies energy to the equipment.

Then, Ke Wen used rune iron pieces to construct another set of rune arrays.

Finally he activated the device. Lan

Putting a semi-finished 'Hex Crystal' into the center of the equipment, Kewen began to adjust the energy output of the equipment.

He will provide energy for continuous strengthening.

There was a 'buzz' sound.

The three metal square frame brackets on the equipment that are nested together began to rotate layer by layer with the supply of energy.

The rune iron pieces fixed on the six frames turned into afterimages.

Gradually, the rune remnants formed a closed stance array.

The next moment, the semi-finished gemstone placed in the center of the device suddenly shone brightly. Lan

The arcane energy between heaven and earth continues to gather and is injected into the gem through the equipment.

Under the influence of the stance, arcane energy is continuously compressed inside the gem.

At the same time, the many tiny runes engraved on the inner wall of the gem also began to operate, and those runes began to set the functions of the arcane energy compressed in the gem.

Not long after, the arcane energy in the gem became stable, and at a certain moment, a perfect rune formation suddenly formed.

boom--

Arcane energy exploded, and the irregular crystals became completely round.

The enchanted sphere has become perfect, and the magic circle inside has been completely stabilized. Lan

Therefore, it blocks the continued infusion of arcane energy, causing the arcane energy that continues to power the equipment to be repelled and explode.

Kewen immediately shut down the energy supply mechanism, which prevented further explosion of arcane energy.

He waved his hand to disperse the dense magic fog in front of him, then reached out and picked up the round gem.

After holding it up in front of him and looking at it, Ke Wen casually left the gem on the table.

There is no sense of achievement at all.

This kind of technology was simply epoch-making for Rune Continent, but to him it was nothing worth mentioning.

Because it's too simple. Lan

It is nothing more than making a crystal shell and carving a miniature rune array on the inner shell, forming the basis of functional enchantment.

Then the shell is supplied with magic power and relies on external objects to generate a stance to stabilize the arcane energy in the crystal.

When the arcane energy in the crystal is compressed and undergoes qualitative change, at the moment of qualitative change, the runes on the inner shell of the crystal will also be activated at the same time.

Those runes in turn affect the arcane energy inside the crystal, eventually forming a stable rune combination.

In this way, a functionally enchanted magic crystal was successfully produced.

For example, the crystal that Ke Wen just made has the enchanting function of spatial transfer.

This method is indeed very magical for laymen. Lan

But if you look at it as a magician, this method is not necessary at all.

What equipment should I use?

Directly use the power of the soul to induce magic, then carve magic runes out of thin air, and arbitrarily combine magic arrays with various functions and effects, and finally enchant the magic array onto any object.

For a magician, it is so simple and flexible!

This is the difference between an outsider and an insider!

So, just when Kewen lost interest and was about to think about how to deal with the other four waste gems, the basement's baffle was suddenly pulled open.

"Kewen! Are you in there?!" Lan

Wei's anxious voice reached the basement first.

"I'm here." Coven responded.

"What happened just now?" Wei jumped down the stairs and looked at the pile of temporary workbenches in surprise and said: "The house suddenly shook just now, and what happened to the air here? Why does it make me feel a little uncomfortable? Feeling relaxed?"

"Nothing, just an experiment."

Ke Wen looked at Wei's body. From his perspective, the arcane energy remaining in the basement was rushing toward Wei.

He did not stop it, because after just a moment, the excess arcane energy was absorbed by Wei's tattoo, allowing the magic circle to resume its absorption speed of free magic power.

Vi noticed this too. Lan

She looked at herself strangely and said, "What's going on? Was that an illusion just now? It's normal again now."

"Huh?"

At this time, Bao Bao, who also jumped down the stairs, discovered something.

She tilted her head and looked at the perfect gem on the workbench and asked, "Why is there a different one? Did you make it, Kewen?"

"right. "

Ke Wen reached out and picked up the gem and threw it to Bao Bao at random: "It's a small toy. I have perfected the technology in that notebook. How about it? Do you want to learn it?"

"What's the use of this thing?" Lan

Bangbao did not respond immediately, but looked at the crystal ball in his hand curiously: "Little toy? How to play with it?"

Coven dismantled the equipment on the table and relocated it in the open space.

Reaching out to Baobao for the crystal, Coven placed it on the fixed grip in the center of the device.

Turn the power button slightly.

The next moment, the crystal ball stimulated by energy exploded...
