Chapter 214 Chapter 214 We are colleagues from another world!
Gwen: "Do you know Charmcaster and her uncle Hex?"
"I know." Li Hua and Jason nodded. "Evil magician uncle and nephew, I've heard Ben talk about it many times."
Gwen: "They live in a mansion in Bellwood, and they have tons of magic books. We could borrow a few and scan them. They have so many books, they wouldn't notice if one was missing."
"You're borrowing this without informing the original owner, right?"
Jason clearly remembered Benjamin telling him that his cousin was a typical studious and good girl.
But how come today, when I looked at it, within three seconds I opened my mouth and saw an idea for buying something for zero yuan?
Benjamin and Gwen realized for the first time that he could actually do something like a plan. They stared in surprise and disbelief. "You would do such a thing?"
"Just return it before we're discovered."
Gwen ultimately lacked Jason's flexible moral compass and thick skin. She knew this was a shameful thing to do, otherwise she wouldn't have kept it secret from Benjamin and Kevin. Facing Jason's question, she evaded attention and explained with a somewhat awkward tone.
"Besides, although the Witch of Curse and the Corpse haven't done anything bad in recent years, they've actually tried to kill me and Ben, take over my body, and rule the world, and they didn't seem to care about our opinions."
"Don't be nervous. I'm not holding you accountable. I personally support this kind of black-on-black behavior," Jason said. "But since we're going to 'borrow' books, isn't just one a bit insufficient?"
Gwen is still too conservative. Even though there is such a grudge between them, she only "borrowed" one book.
Although I can't take more to avoid alerting the enemy, since Gwen described that the other party has so many magic books, I believe that the other party will not notice if I take a few more.
Gwen was just breathing a sigh of relief that no one was criticizing her when she heard Li Hua say, "Perhaps those magic books are very thick and large. An automatic book scanner wouldn't be able to finish scanning them all in a day. Bringing them back would only increase the risk of being discovered and take up space."
Benjamin said, "How about I transform into a Kryptonian and carry Gwen inside so you can choose. That way, we won't leave any footprints. Or, you tell me what book you want, and I'll use Ice Wraith to sneak in, becoming invisible and leaving no trace of climbing over the wall. Even the best traceologists would be in no position to complain."
Li Hua: "In my opinion, Gwen should still go. We don't know if the wizard's mansion will have any magical protection or magical alarms."
Jason nodded. "Then I have to go too. Magic is the natural enemy of Kryptonians. If Ben loses control, I can use Kryptonite to take him down and prevent further damage."
The stealth techniques and traceology courses taught by Batman finally came in handy. Benjamin said, "Whoever takes the book must remember to wear gloves and a hood to avoid leaving fingerprints and hair. Especially hair, who knows what those evil black wizards will do with it?"
Li Hua added the key points that must be tested: "There is also the distribution of dust. If you don't go in, remember to use your invincible Kryptonian observation and memory to memorize the distribution of dust..."
Gwen: ...How come you two are so skilled!
And why do you all look more excited than me, the person who proposed the plan?
Benjamin: "Wait, I suddenly realized that we are not in the DC Universe now. It seems that we don't need to carefully check the technology products this time."
Jason said, "Why don't you check? Don't get the stereotype that mages don't learn technology. You still use the Omnitrix, Li Hua has the number 666, I use a gun, and Gwen uses a phone!"
Li Hua: "It's hard to say. The four of us are wild mages who haven't received any formal mage training and grew up in the wild. The skeleton and the evil witch have traditional family traditions and have received systematic education. It's normal for the living environment and living habits of wild and domesticated mages to be different."
Everyone: “…”
Irrefutable in every sense.
No matter what, this group of highly active teenagers stood at the foot of the wall of the corpse and the evil witch's house at two o'clock in the morning.
It's a cloudy night and the clouds are blocking the moon.
It’s a dark and windy night, perfect for borrowing books.
Benjamin's X-ray vision revealed that the Skeleton and the Curse Witch's residences didn't have any security cameras installed. Gwen also observed that the library's walls and windows didn't have any magical protection or warning systems.
Jason looked at the huge stone villa in front of him and couldn't help but complain: "The people here are too simple and honest."
There are no protective measures at all. The mansion has no yard or guardrails, and even no anti-theft windows... Even though it is located in a wealthy area, this is really a big deal.
Could it be that there are backup plans in those books?
But until Benjamin, who had turned into a Kryptonian, carried Gwen and floated in, took out a book from this library with an astonishing collection of books, returned to the cave where they were temporarily staying, and sent the book to an automatic page-turning scanner connected to an independent generator, no event similar to "the owner flashing to chase the book" was triggered.
"Is this the end?" Jason couldn't believe it, even more than seeing aliens. "They didn't even lock the windows. They can be opened from the outside!"
I don't know if they think the magic library is inaccessible to ordinary people so they neglect to protect it or what, but in any case, it looks so carefree that it is clear that it has never been illegally invaded.
You have to know that in Gotham, even with a combat capability as high as Batman, the security measures in Wayne Manor have never been abandoned.
Benjamin: "I've said it before, the people in Bellwood are much more honest than those in Gotham. Compared to human crimes on Earth, there are more alien crimes."
Li Hua: "I don't think most people would imagine that someone would be able to fly up to a two- or three-story window just to get through it and steal a niche professional book."
When people worry about theft, they are worried about the personal safety of themselves and their families, as well as their property.
Given the strength of the Witch of Curses and the Skeleton, they didn't need to worry about their own safety. Li Hua and the others weren't concerned about their valuables, so they couldn't assume the wizard uncle and nephew had taken no anti-theft measures.
Li Hua: "The house is made of stone and cement. They must have paid a lot of taxes... Should we keep an eye on it later? Maybe we can find some trading market dedicated to wizards."
This kind of thing cannot be entered without a guide. Gwen and the evil witch skeleton are in the hostile camp, they will definitely not help.
Knowledge does not appear out of thin air. Considering the age of the corpse, it is impossible for him to have written so many books by himself.
Since there are already large-scale magical creations, there must be supporting production workers, production personnel, and users. Not to mention that this is a skill book, so there must be specialized researchers and learners.
Simply put, if the corpse was able to obtain so many magic books, then there must be a place selling them. If there is a place selling so many professional magic books, it certainly cannot only sell magic books.
Jason: "Based on my experience and that of someone who has been through it, conventional scientific methods may not be effective against people or things that have anything to do with magic."
Li Hua: "What if we intervene with US dollars?"
Gwen: ...Huh?
"Huh?" In just a few seconds, Jason's face flashed with surprise, contemplation, and excitement. Finally, he said, "That's another matter."
Benjamin: “That’s what we’ll do.”
Gwen: ......
Although she didn't know what this group of people were going to do, she had a feeling that things were going to start moving in some strange direction.
.......
On a sunny afternoon, Li Hua and Jason, in disguise, rang the doorbell at the wizard's mansion.
Not long after, a tall young woman wearing a long sleeveless vest with a violet base and black outlines, with long silver-white hair hanging down to her mid-thigh, opened the door expressionlessly. Her light purple eyes swept over them without any hesitation: "What's going on?"
With such distinct features, the person who answered the door was none other than the evil witch.
Li Hua: "We made an appointment earlier...Excuse me, is this Mr. Corpse's residence?"
"Just the two of you?" The Curse Witch couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when she saw there were only two minors here, but she still opened the door and said, "Come in and talk."
The evil witch led them down a short corridor and brought them to the reception room. The first words of the corpse sitting on the main sofa when he saw only two children walking in were: "Just you two?"
Jason seemed a little anxious. "Just tell me if we can talk. If you're like those psychiatrists here, we won't bother you anymore."
The skeleton and the evil witch looked at the nervous expression on Li Hua's face again, and they had some idea of the content of this commission.
If someone experiences anxiety and tension, it is likely that they are possessed by evil spirits or think they are possessed by evil spirits.
For mages of their level, this kind of order is undoubtedly easy and profitable.
So the corpse gave a look to his niece, the evil witch Hope, indicating that she would preside over the conversation and he would listen in.
If the difficulty is not high this time, it will be a good opportunity for young people to practice.
The Witch of Curses sat down on the sofa next to the corpse and said, "We don't restrict underage purchases, but we also don't allow them to get refunds."
"We've prepared some... If it's not enough, we can go back and collect more," Li Hua said. "The premise is that you can really solve our problem. Speaking of which, are you real wizards? Not some psychiatrists or scientists disguised as wizards? We're talking here, and the next second you're going to press a button and take us to a hospital or research institute?"
Without a word, the Witch of Curses casually threw a small stone with dark purple lines on it. The stone landed on the ground and quickly grew into a magical creature the size of an orangutan, covered in mysterious magenta-colored lines.
"Is that proof enough?"
After so many years in the industry, what kind of strange customers have they not seen? It is completely normal to question their professional ability.
After all, in this technology-based dimension, there are so few wizards that they have almost become legends.
The two children immediately showed joy on their faces after seeing this move, and everything developed according to the normal process.
...That's how it was originally.
But then, the Curse Witch and the Skeleton watched as the boy, who had been acting reserved but talking the most, placed a small ping-pong ball on the coffee table. With a wave of his hand, the ping-pong ball began to levitate.
He said excitedly, "Could you please give me the address of Diagon Alley? I want to go and see it!"
At this moment, another young man reached out his hand, tremblingly levitating the ping-pong ball, and said in an equally excited voice, "Then can you help us send a letter to Hogwarts? Although we are a little old, we are not picky!"
Curse Witch:......
Corpse:..........
We know what's going on between you two, but we don't know what you're talking about.
What is Diagon Alley and what is Hogwarts?
Two wizards from the magical dimension Regidomon were confused.

Author's Note: Li Hua/Jason: I'm your fellow travelers from another world! (Plan.jpg)
After all, Warner Bros. also owns the copyright to Harry Potter. Although not all of them, I've heard that it's pretty normal.
PS: This article does not summarize HP. The origin, nature, and characteristics of magic in the BEN universe are completely different from those in "Harry Potter". I just mention it here.
