Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3969 Initial Page
"Since you have agreed to cooperate with me, I will naturally find a way to help you find your sister."

In the surprised look of April 1st, Angel asked: "But before that, please tell me your sister's information first."

April 1st naturally did not dare to hide it and began to talk about his sister, Xidaya.

"Xidaiya? Your sister's name and yours seem to have different styles?"

"My sister and I are not biological siblings. We are from an orphanage in the underground city." April 1st: "My sister was able to remember things when she was abandoned, and she also knew that her name was Xida Ya."

"When I was abandoned, I was still a baby. I don't know who threw me at the door of the orphanage. It was my sister who took me in, and it was my sister who asked the director to take me in."

Including the name of April 1st, which was also chosen by Xidaya.

Because the day he was taken in by the orphanage was April 1st.

My sister said that in the underground blocks, a large number of babies were abandoned at the doors of orphanages not because their parents did not love them, but because they simply could not afford to raise them.

But time will shape everyone.

Some people are poor when they are young, but later become rich and live a prosperous life. They may be willing to take the children they once abandoned back home to raise.

He was named "April 1st" in the hope that this date would remind his parents of the day they abandoned their child and awaken their memories of the past.

Of course, the premise of all this is that April 1st can find his parents, or that his parents can still remember "April 1st", the day of abandonment.

In other words, although the name April 1st sounds strange, it carries the love that Xidaya has for her brother, and she hopes that he can find his parents one day.

"My sister was really good to me. When I was bullied in the orphanage, she was the only one who stood up for me. In my heart, she was no different from my mother."

It is precisely because of their good relationship that April 1st would go looking for his sister year after year after she disappeared.

"Then how did she disappear?" Angel asked, "Before she disappeared, did she come into contact with anyone? Or any organization?"

April 1st shook his head. "I don't really know, because I rarely saw my sister two years before she disappeared. She seemed to have joined a company and was busy with work every day. I only chat with her about life and study through the communicator occasionally."

I was studying on April 1st and was living on campus, so I didn't notice anything unusual at first.

My sister would regularly send him money and contact him, and occasionally come to the school gate to chat with him across the guardrail.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Until one day, his sister suddenly disappeared without any warning, and she never contacted him again, nor did they meet again.

It was then that April 1st sensed something was wrong and began to look for her sister.

But it was too late.

Because he knew nothing about his sister's work or colleagues.

He didn't even know where his sister lived.

"If you really love your sister so much, why don't you know anything about her?" Angel asked suspiciously.

April 1: "…This is actually my fault."

"I asked my sister before, but she didn't want to talk about work. And every time I mentioned work, she was in a bad mood and even showed disgust."

At that time, my roommate said that my sister's behavior was normal. He said that no one would not hate work, just like he hated advanced mathematics. It was fine to study mathematics during class, but after class, whoever mentioned mathematics to him would get angry.

On April 1st at that time, I thought about it seriously and felt that there was some truth to it.

In order to prevent his sister from recalling the hardships of being a worker, they would deliberately avoid talking about work and colleagues.

This also led to the fact that April 1st had no idea about Xidaya's work.

"Don't you have any guesses about her work?"

"I do have some guesses..." April 1st: "When my sister lived in the underground district, she was a well-known makeup artist. She also wrote for the underground magazine Dark Beauty. After she came to the surface city, she should have looked for a similar job, so I guess my sister might still be a makeup artist or a magazine writer."

"But I looked through a lot of magazines to see if I could find my sister's pen name."

"pen name?"

"Yes, my sister's pen name is basically a change in the pronunciation of her original name, such as Xidaya becoming Xiadiya, or Xitiya, Shatiya, Xideya..."

They look like two different names, but if you pronounce the syllables quickly, the roots are actually similar.

Therefore, if Zendaya was still writing for the magazine, it was possible that April 1st could find her in this way.

But...no.

On April 1st, I looked through various beauty magazines, and even other types of magazines, but I couldn't find a writer with a different name of "Xidaiya".

Therefore, it is highly likely that my sister is no longer a writer... Of course, it is also possible that she changed her pen name and style.

"So your sister has no friends?"

April 1st: "Yes, but my sister's friends all came from orphanages, and they basically live in the underground district. My sister came to the surface to work, so she became more and more distant from her old friends."

As for whether Xidaya has any friends on the surface, April 1st doesn't know because Xidaya doesn't usually talk about it.

"Did she contact those friends before she disappeared?"

April 1st shook his head: "I've asked, no."

Angel then asked some more questions, focusing mainly on the clues about Xitianya.

After asking almost all the questions, Angel stood up and said, "Wait a moment, I'll have someone look for clues about Xidaya."

After saying this, under the gaze of April 1st, Angel walked out of the foggy private room.

After a few minutes, Angel came back.

"I have asked someone to look for it, and there should be news soon." Angel paused and said, "If there is still no clue, I will use fashion magic to look for it."

After hearing what Ingres said, April 1st's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed.

Although he didn't know what kind of fashion magic could help him find it, he believed that Angel would not do it aimlessly.

While waiting, April 1st also began to ask Ingres what information he needed to find in return?
That is what Ingres mentioned before, asking him to help find some real-life information. What exactly does this information include?
Angel did not answer this question immediately, but changed the subject and asked:

“Have you ever thought about becoming a fashion wizard?”

April 1st didn't understand, but he still followed Angel's words and nodded: "Of course I have thought about it, but..."

"There is no 'but'." Angel interrupted him, "You just need to tell me, do you want to be a fashion magician?"

April 1st nodded seriously this time: "I have thought about it."

Angel nodded: "Okay, then you should start working hard to become a fashion magician."

"Ah?" April 1st was stunned.

Wasn't he asking about the "information"? Why did he turn to his own goal?

Angel: "You are just an ordinary person now. The information and intelligence you are exposed to are limited by your vision. For example, I want to know the information about the City of Glittering Gold. Can you tell me?"

"The City of Glittering Gold?" April 1st's eyes flashed with confusion. What city is this? He had never heard of this city.

In other words, he was confused about any other city except Modern City.

Seeing April 1st's reaction, Angel shrugged and said, "See, you really haven't heard of it. As far as I know, the City of Glittering Gold is another huge city across the sea from this continent where you are."

"And what I need you to find is this kind of information. And you don't have access to this information right now, so I need you to grow as a magician."

Only after April 1st becomes a fashion magician and has a certain wealth and status can he help Angel find more information.

Especially the information about the world where April 1st is located.

April 1st finally understood why Angel asked him if he wanted to become a magician.

Indeed, ordinary people are far inferior to magicians in terms of the breadth and depth of intelligence they can obtain.

The scenery you see is completely different depending on your location.

Therefore, Angel does not need April 1st to provide him with much information now. What he needs to solve more now is how to make April 1st become a magician.

Thinking of this, Ingres fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Ingres slowly came back to his senses.

April 1st asked hesitantly, "Is it difficult to become a fashion magician?"

Otherwise, why would Ingres think about it for so long?

"Difficult?" Angel stroked his chin and said softly, "It's difficult, after all, you need to break through from zero to one, from nothing to something. This step is indeed difficult."

“But it’s not difficult to say it’s not difficult either.”

"You can become a fashion wizard right now if you want."

April 1: “Ah???”

April 1st pointed at himself. Can he become a magician now?
Ingres nodded, his eyes slowly moving from his face to April 1st's chest.

There hangs a pebble pendant.

April 1st also followed Ingres's gaze and looked at his pendant.

"This pendant was given to me by the homeless old man after he woke up that day..." April 1st had just finished speaking when he suddenly thought of something.

The first time he met Ingres was because the homeless old man fainted in front of his bakery.

Does Ingres know that homeless old man?

Angel did not deny it and nodded: "I know him, his name is Zuniga, he is a magician."

April 1st's expression showed shock.

That homeless old man is actually a magician? !
Angel: "Although he looks like a homeless man now, he was once a distinguished magician. However, I only know Zuniga in the box garden. In reality... Zuniga definitely doesn't know of my existence."

April 1st understand.

Because he accidentally knocked down the child of the shop owner next door in his dream, he wanted to apologize after waking up, but the shop owner directly kicked him out, as if he didn't recognize him.

In the sandbox, he had come into contact with the owner of the shop next door; but in reality, he had no contact with him.

Therefore, there are two different situations.

Similarly, Ingres knew the Zuniga in the sandbox, but he had never met the real Zuniga, so naturally he didn't know him.

"I just said that you can become a magician now if you want." Angel: "The reason lies in this pendant."

"Is there anything special about this pendant..." April 1st's eyes flashed with confusion.

Angel: "This pendant contains a [Starting Page], which allows you to become a magician directly without going through any challenging tasks."

"And the method of use is very simple. Use your own blood to smear it on the pendant, and you can activate the initial page inside."

April 1st took off the pendant and placed it in his palm: "Can this thing directly make me a magician? It... should be very valuable, right?"

Angell: "The initial page. I guess the entire Modern City is just this one page."

"So rare?" April 1st's eyes flashed with some trepidation, and even his hands began to tremble: "Then, then I have to return it to its owner..."

Angel shook his head slightly. "You can't judge whether it's rare or not in that way. The initial pages are indeed precious, but for someone who has become a magician, their value is just that high. After all, the pages sealed inside are all the most basic fashion magic items."

As long as you can embark on the path of a magician, who doesn’t have a few pages of fashion magic?

What's more, although the initial pages are rare, all the sealed ones are basic monsters such as plagiarism monsters, fog balls, gossip spirits...

It is very easy for a magician to obtain this kind of pages.

The value of the initial book page lies in that it can skip the "challenge task" stage and allow people to become a magician directly.

For example, Angel has a page of "Smokescreen Scholar" in his hand, which is prepared for Laplace, but it has not been traded to Laplace yet.

It was because Laplace had not yet gone through the "Challenge Mission" and had not become a fashion magician.

If Angel had the initial page, Laplace would not have to go through the challenge mission at all and could use the initial page to activate the magic book.

This is the value of the initial page, which is very precious to ordinary people.

But for those who have become magicians, or in other words, for those who have aspirations, its value is just average.

The magician looked down upon the basic monsters sealed in the initial pages.

For those who are ambitious, they would definitely hope that the monster on the first page would suit them. For example, the "hairstyle monster" that Angel found for Laplace is the initial monster that suits Laplace extremely well.

In this case, the original pages are less valuable.

"Besides, I know Zuniga's character. Since he gave it to you, he never thought of taking it back. This is a reward for you taking care of him that day."

Angel: "But these are not important. After all, this pendant can only make you a magician in the box garden. You don't have this pendant in reality, right?"

April 1st nodded suddenly.

Yes, he does not have this pendant in reality, because he has never met Zuniga in reality.

"Becoming a fashion magician in this box garden allows you to experience various fashion magics in advance, which can be regarded as an accumulation of experience. Therefore, it is meaningful to become a magician in the box garden." Angel: "But the box garden magician is only an auxiliary after all. The most important thing is to find a way to make you a magician in reality."
