A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Levi walked into the room.

He looked around and saw a girl wrapping herself up like a rice dumpling on the bed.

Only the back of her head was exposed, but Levi's instinct already knew who she was.

"It's quite hidden," Levi said. "It took me half an hour to search from room to room."

Martha on the bed trembled all over, then she seemed to think back for a moment, slowly turned around and looked at Levi, revealing the traces on her face.

"Are you the eldest brother?" She said as if she couldn't believe it.

"Well, it's me." Levi smiled and said, "Do you still remember me?"

"You are the last person to talk to me...excluding those in the family." Martha said in a weak voice.

"You looked much happier when we last met than you do now." Levi said.

But Martha didn't answer, just lowered her head in silence.

Levi didn't continue talking, he tried to take two steps closer. Martha didn't resist or make a sound, so Levi sat gently on the bed.

He looked at Martha, and he could see her clearly from this distance. There are inconspicuous bruises on her body, which were left a long time ago.

"Why are you here?" Martha asked in a low voice.

"Originally it was to make some money, but now it's for other things." Levi said.

"what?"

"I won't tell you." Levi chuckled.

Martha frowned. Although it was good to have someone to chat with her...but this guy seemed mean?

"Do you know what the family wants you to do?" Levi asked.

Martha tightened the quilt: "I don't know."

"Really?" Levi didn't say anything about the parent or the creation of wizards. He quietly turned his head and looked at Martha beside him.

"I have a way to get you out of here."

Hearing Levi's words, Martha couldn't help but raise her head.

"Are you serious?"

"Really." Levi smiled, "Do you want to leave here."

"Of course! I have never dreamed of it!" Martha suddenly sat up in excitement, "But, but, what should I do?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Levi said, "Tomorrow, maybe at noon, maybe a little earlier, everyone here will go crazy briefly, you can detect it."

He said, grabbing Martha's hand and giving her a small glass bottle.

"At that time, drink this thing and run to the pier on King Street, the faster the better."

But Martha was stunned. She looked at the small bottle in her hand in disbelief and clenched it tightly.

After a moment, she spoke with a trembling voice.

"really?"

Levi nodded.

"But, I'm a little scared." Martha bent her knees and buried her head, "Why did you come to help me?"

Levi was silent, why?

At first, it was because he couldn't find a job, and for the sake of that thousand pesos, he accidentally got involved with her.

Later, it was because of some thoughts in his heart that he felt that he could not let the Metalia family get their wish.

Later, why?

He thinks Martha is pitiful...or...

"You can trust me, Martha, or I am the person you can trust most." Levi said.

"Because I have nothing to gain by coming to save you."

Martha looked up in surprise.

"When a person is not doing it for Philippine dollars, not for power, not for anything else, but is still willing to lend a helping hand to you, then there is only one possibility." Levi said with a gentle smile.

"He must be following his heart's will."

……

Levi didn't stay long. After saying this, he left the room.

Martha was left alone.

She sat for a long time, holding the small bottle tightly. In the bottle was a sky-blue clear and transparent liquid, like the sky outside the window.

She had heard Levi's words from another person.

That was her father, her dead father.

Of course this doesn't prove anything, but...Merda is willing to believe it.

She looked at the food on the table.

She thought about it.

She picked up a piece of bread and chewed it.

……

The next day.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, two uninvited guests, one large and one small, stepped onto the dock of St. Francis.

Standing on the left is Charlie, wearing a children's windbreaker and sunglasses with a serious expression.

Beside him was Levi, who was wearing a navy coat and carrying a satchel.

"I think you have completely mastered how to drive a speedboat!" Levi crossed his chest and asked with a smile.

Yesterday, before Levi ventured into Oakland to look for Martha, he sent Charlie to the Speedboat Club in North Beach for a day to learn how to drive a speedboat.

Charlie raised his head helplessly and pushed his sunglasses to his forehead.

"You're asking too much of a 13-year-old, sir."

"Very good, that's what I learned." Levi nodded with a smile.

Although he was a little worried about Charlie, there was no way, Levi had no one else available.

"Where is our speedboat?" Levi looked around and asked.

"There." Charlie pointed, and Levi followed his gaze. It was a speedboat with a big-headed shark painted on it, floating quietly on the sea.

Levi rented this for 100 Philippine dollars yesterday. The owner of the Speedboat Club was so happy when he heard this number that he agreed without much thought.

It will be an important prop in today's battle to save Martha.

Levi looked at the Bighead Shark Speedboat and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's get started..." Levi said, "But before that, Charlie, I want to ask you again, this matter is very dangerous, and it is not something that a 13-year-old child should participate in."

"Do you really want to go with me? If you leave now, I won't blame you. You can get the two thousand Philippine dollars I left, which is enough for you to complete your studies and live a good life with your mother. "

Last night, Levi had told Charlie the ins and outs of everything, including drug trafficking, gangs, and wizards.

Since Levi has decided to re-enter this world, as his follower, Charlie should also know these things.

But Charlie just recalled what Levi said to him, and then raised his head firmly, revealing a childish and sunny smiling face.

"Just like you said, sir."

"Driving a shark speedboat into the drug trafficking stronghold, lighting all their drugs on fire, taking advantage of the situation when the whole city was high, and rescuing the girl who was used as a sacrifice by the evil organization... …”

"It's so, so, so cool!"

"Whether he is old or young, if he is not moved when faced with such a thing, then he is really a man in vain!"

After listening to Charlie's answer, Levi couldn't help but smile, a big smile, he gave a thumbs up and said:

"That's the answer I wanted to hear!"

Today is the winter solstice, everyone remember to eat dumplings!
