Weird Wizarding World

The old Parker Inn.

“How much does it cost to stay here?”

In the simple and bright lobby, Colin stood at the front desk and asked the witch apprentice waiter in front of him.

It has been almost two hours since he teleported to Neustadt City.

And this... is the third hotel he has found.

"How long will you stay and what kind of room do you want?" the waitress asked in a familiar manner.

"Introduce them all to me." Colin replied.

"Okay, sir." The waitress moistened her throat and began to tell.

"Ordinary single rooms are divided into three grades according to area: eight magic stones, twelve magic stones, and sixteen magic stones; suites from one to three bedrooms are divided into twenty-five magic stones, forty magic stones, and sixty magic stones. "

After speaking, she paused and added a few more points:

"If you stay for more than one month, you can enjoy a 30% discount. The bathrooms are equipped in all rooms except the smallest single rooms, while the kitchens are only equipped in suites."

‘A two-bedroom apartment costs forty magic stones per night, which is so expensive. ’ Colin sighed secretly in his heart.

Along the way, he sailed across oceans, crossed continents, and stayed in hotels not many times, but not many.

But the highest hotel accommodation price among them does not exceed one magic stone.

‘Neustadt… is indeed a wizarding city under the rule of the Wizards Alliance. ’

Although he didn't know much about this city, the high cost of accommodation gave him a head start.

You know, except for the Haiyan, he doesn't currently have many magic stones on his body. Lin Lin only has about three thousand magic stones in total.

This was a huge sum of money for him in the past, but according to the current cost of living in Neustadt... this is probably nothing.

What's more, when he was in Meredith City, he paid the entry fee of one thousand magic stones, and then spent another six hundred on the teleportation array... Now he only has about 1,400 magic stones left.

'We still have to sell the Haiyan as soon as possible and join the school as soon as possible...' Colin pondered secretly in his heart.

Then he said to the waitress: "Please give me a one-bedroom apartment."

The price difference between a one-bedroom apartment and a two-bedroom apartment is fifteen magic stones... It's still possible to save money.

Anyway, including the living room, there are two rooms in the one-bedroom apartment, which is enough for them to live in.

In addition, the tent and bedding in the storage ring are complete, so there is no need to worry about being uncomfortable... After all, this is how it has been spent most of the time.

"Okay, sir, one night?"

"Let's stay for two nights first." Colin shook his head and said, while taking out fifty ordinary magic stones and a pass and handing them to the waitress.

Compared with the two hotels he inquired about before, the price of the Old Parker Hotel is already the lowest.

The same one-bedroom apartment in other houses would start with at least forty magic stones... Now that I have just arrived in Neustadt City, I will have a lot of money to spend in the future, so I can save whatever I can.

"Okay sir, the room is at the end of the corridor on the second floor. This is the room card. You can use it by inputting your magic power."

Colin nodded, took the gray room card and pass from the waitress, and then walked upstairs with Sister Renee.

"Renee, I think I need to temporarily let you and Demi live in the living room tonight." He turned around and said.

"It's okay, Master." Renee said with a smile, "Living in a room is much better than sleeping in the wild before."

Compared to more than a year ago, Renee's appearance has changed drastically.

This is not a change in appearance, but more a change in temperament and look.

"Yeah." Colin nodded and touched Demi's head next to her.

Renee had always made him worry-free and she had never been disappointed.

Thanks to Renee's presence along the way, otherwise his quality of life would have dropped at least two levels... Not to mention anything else, just in terms of eating, there was a huge difference between having Renee and not having Renee.

And not only the journey of thousands of miles also brought his trust in Renee to a new level...

It's a pity... Renee doesn't have the talent of a wizard, and neither does her sister Demi.

When he came to the room, Renee began to tidy up. After he took out some daily necessities from the storage ring, he walked into the bedroom alone.

After all the fuss today, it's almost evening.

Although there is no curfew in Neustadt City, there are frequent inspections and patrols at night, and there are few people... It is not appropriate to go out to inquire for information.

So today he planned to take a short rest in the hotel and then sort himself out.

Wait until tomorrow before going out to inquire about information about the Xisheng School, and find a place to sell the Haiyan.

While thinking about it, Colin had a thought in his mind, sat by the bed, and called out the gold paper.

Pale golden particles gathered.

[Name: Colin Leonard]

[Level: Advanced Wizard Apprentice (8/100); Ultimate Great Knight (93/100)]

[Meditation Method: Apprenticeship Circle Meditation Method II↑ (100/100)]

[Breathing method: Solar breathing method II (87/100); Iri breathing method (36/100)]

[Witchcraft: Zero-level magic: slightly; Zero-level magic: Steel temperature-resistant force field (16/100); Arrow shooting (gold);; Fireball II (15/100); Swiftness I (87/100) ); Flying Submarine (68/100); Detect Evil I (16/100); Purify Evil Energy I (18/100)]

[Skills: Elementary witchcraft crystal production - (bright crystal production (gold); image crystal production I (66/100); blood pattern transformation I (36/100)]

[Talent: Strong Life I (4/100)]

[Break limit point: 0]

Go through it carefully from top to bottom.

Overall, there is not much improvement.

In terms of levels, due to the lack of improved meditation methods, the wizard level progress is slow, and now it is only 8/100.

As for the knight's level, because he is busy on the road, it is only 93/100 now, and it will take some time to reach the limit.

As for witchcraft...

Colin couldn't help but sigh slightly.

At the price of the Scepter of Ignorance, and in terms of witchcraft, his current progress is basically the same as when he was on Bananka Island.

‘But now I have finally reached a relatively stable place. I will keep the Scepter of Foolishness as my trump card and won’t use it as frequently as before… Then I will start working hard to improve. ’

Put away the gold paper.

Colin pondered for a moment, and then took out the Wizards League pass.

He didn't forget that this pass happened to contain the information about the Wizards Union that he lacked the most.

Slowly closing his eyes and immersing his mind in it, he began to read the information in it carefully.

………………

The next day.

The sky is dim.

The noisy atmosphere gradually began to come from the window of the room on the second floor facing the street.

Colin got dressed and got up, walked to the window and opened the linen-white curtains.

Looking out the window, the tempting smell of food has begun to come from the street.

There are a variety of toasts, sandwiches, etc., which he has never seen before on Blackstone Island or Bananka Island.

In the city of Neustadt...or in other words, under the rule of the Wizards Alliance of the Siya Continent, the material life was more abundant than he imagined. Just looking at these breakfasts, they almost caught up with the level of the earth in the previous life.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

There was a slight knock on the door.

"Master, breakfast is ready." Renee's voice followed closely.

Putting away his complicated thoughts, Colin quickly had a delicious breakfast, told Renee and others to wait for him at the hotel, and then walked downstairs.

Walking down the stairs, the witch apprentice received in the hall was holding a brick-thick black book and reading intently.

Seeing this, Colin seemed to have thought of something, paused for a moment, changed direction and came to the front desk.

"Do you need any help?" The black-haired female apprentice put down the book in her hand and looked up.

Her tone was calm, and she was not upset that Colin suddenly came to interrupt her reading. After all, in this job, she was used to being interrupted.

"Hello." Colin rubbed the bracelet on his left hand and asked, "Actually, there is nothing else, I just want to know some information... I wonder if you are willing to accept paid consultation."

He originally wanted to go out and find a teahouse or a tavern, and ask the waiters inside for information.

But then I thought about it, and all I wanted to know was information about the Xisheng School and ship trading.

There is nothing special to pay attention to, so why not just ask the front desk apprentice who is a local nearby?

"Of course you can pay for consultation -" the black-haired waitress nodded first, then looked at the bracelet in his hand and changed the topic, "But sir, can you stop using the detection bracelet?"

"You know...this is not polite behavior."

Although she couldn't feel the fluctuations of the detection bracelet, she recognized the bracelet on Colin's wrist...

If you read it correctly, it is the Troy bracelet type 2... a very classic model.

It's a pity... there are already witchcraft tools that can hide from its detection,

However, that witchcraft tool is expensive and not many people can afford it... The Troy Bracelet Type 2 is still a cost-effective choice.

"Feel sorry."

Colin paused, touched his nose, and apologized neatly.

At this time, the detection results of the Troy bracelet have also been transmitted to the retina.

[Target strength: Intermediate wizard apprentice. 】

The black-haired female apprentice was a little surprised when she saw him apologizing decisively. She hesitated and introduced:

"Sofia."

Colin nodded in response:

"Just call me Colin."

Sophia nodded and asked, "Sir, what news do you want to know? You can ask now."

"After you ask a question, I will quote the price and I will answer it as you see fit. How about that?"

"Don't worry, I'll answer first and then collect the money. The price is fair."

"Okay." Colin nodded, organized his words and asked:

"What schools of thought are there in Neustadt City? Let me briefly introduce each one."

Sophia hesitated slightly and said:

"Five hundred magic stones."

Colin couldn't help but frown slightly.

Sophia sighed.

"The total number of small and large sects in Neustadt City is close to a thousand. Even a rough introduction is a big project... Five hundred magic stones are really not many."

"But I know what you want to ask." Sophia stretched out her palm and made a five.

"Five Magic Stones, I will give you a brief introduction to the thirty-six main schools in the city."

"Okay." Colin nodded without hesitation.

It is not difficult to get information about the main schools of thought in Neustadt City.

However, it would probably take at least a lot of time for him to collect it...and it might not necessarily be as detailed and complete as what Sophia had compiled in front of him, and he might also encounter other surprises.

These five magic stones are not expensive to buy time.

"Okay." Sophia began.

"The main schools of thought in Neustadt City are divided into two echelons."

"There are nine schools in the first echelon, namely Swart, Istar, Yin'an..., among which the Istar school is the strongest."

Colin nodded. He knew about the Ishtar School, and the name was also included in the information in the pass.

To put it simply, the Ishtar School is the real uncrowned king behind the city of Neustadt.

"There are twenty-seven in the second echelon, mainly affiliated schools directly affiliated with the first echelon. Those attached to the Istar School include Silver Ring, Wotak, Magic Ring, and Tin Saint, and those attached to Yin'an include …”

Hearing Xi Sheng's name, Colin remained calm on his face, but his concentration increased silently in his heart.

After another ten minutes, Sophia finally introduced the thirty-six schools of thought one by one.

"That's probably what the main schools of thought are about."

After Sophia finished speaking, she exhaled slightly, then picked up the black tea on her left and took a sip.

"Give me a detailed introduction to the Ishtar School and its affiliated schools, as detailed as possible...such as how to join."

"If you only need me to tell you the information circulating on the street, the three magic stones."

"If you want to know some information that outsiders usually can't find out...twenty magic stones."

Sophia said slowly.

"Is there any news that I can't find?"

Sophia smiled and continued:

"If you, Your Excellency, are planning to join the Ishtar School, or its affiliated schools..."

"Then the news I know will not be of great help to you, but at least it will save you some detours."

Sophia paused and spoke more plainly.

"For example, things to note during the exam, the examiner's preferences, and even the acquisition of tokens."

"Twenty magic stones...are definitely worth the money."

After saying that, she quietly waited for Colin's answer.

A wizard like Colin who looked like he had come from afar, at least 80% of the time he came to Neustadt City was to join a certain school of thought.

The city of Neustadt has already formed a series of industries as a result.

If nothing else, the endless supply of tokens on the black market is the best proof.

Of course, this has nothing to do with her little apprentice.

She is just selling some information to earn some hard money.

"Okay." Colin replied calmly, took out twenty magic stones and handed them to Sophia.

He was not surprised that Sophia guessed that he planned to join the school, after all, he did not hide it.

There is no need to cover it up...just make sure that the information about your possession of the token is not leaked.

Sophia took the magic stone with some surprise, because the original plan was to answer first and then pay the magic stone.

But Colin was willing to pay in advance, so she naturally had no objection.

After organizing her words, she began to speak slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, Sophia finally finished speaking. She picked up the black tea at hand and took another sip.

Colin digested the information silently.

'Is there an exam for the Xisheng School in half a month...'
