Weird Wizarding World

Click click click.

A slight friction sound was heard.

Matthew leaned on the cushioned lounge chair, playing with a few magic stones that exuded a faint light in his hand. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, showing pleasure.

After Colin left, another wandering wizard with a feather badge came...

It's a pity... I'm not a sensible person, and I still need him to remind me. In the end, I just managed to get a thousand magic stones for him by piecing together everything.

Of course, Matthew never makes money-losing transactions.

A thousand magic stones...then the test items can only be changed to a written test.

While thinking, he took out eight feather badges from the wooden drawer on his right.

So far today, 25,000 magic stones have been accounted for.

But...this is not the big head.

Matthew stood up slowly, took the feather badge with him, and walked outside.

The Xisheng School only has such an exam every two years.

If you just accept some bribes, it may not be too petty...

………………

The next morning, the old Parker Hotel.

In the room, Colin stood by the window, drinking steaming black tea and looking at the bustling crowd on the street in trance.

Time has passed, and now the window where he lives no longer has that charming sparkling blue...

However, the location where the Old Parker Hotel is located is not bad. There are dense crowds of people coming and going on the street...perhaps, it can also be called a sea of ​​​​people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Master, things have been packed."

It was at this time that Renee stepped forward and interrupted his thoughts.

"Yes." Colin looked away from the window and handed the white porcelain tea cup to Renee.

While Renee went to clean the tea cup, he waved his hand and put the items packed by Renee into the storage ring.

They are planning to move out today and do not plan to continue living here.

After all, I just consulted Sophia at the front desk about joining the school yesterday. If I continue to stay here for another half month...

As long as Sophia is not a fool and uses her brain a little, she can clearly deduce that he may take the exam of the Xisheng School in half a month.

After all, no other school of thought would take the exam exactly half a month later.

When I came to the front desk downstairs, Sophia was still on duty... I don't know if she worked 24 hours a day, or if there was another person working double shifts with her.

"Check out." He said as he took out the key.

"Okay." Sophia took the key from Colin and returned the deposit, and asked casually: "Have you found a school and are ready to join?"

"No." Colin shook his head calmly, "There aren't that many magic stones to buy as tokens. Let's find a place to settle down first and take a step at a time."

"Yes." Sophia nodded and added: "If you want to find a cheap place to live temporarily... I recommend you to go to the Seagull District. As long as you choose carefully, you can find a lot of cheap housing there."

"Okay, thank you for the suggestion." Colin smiled and took the deposit, and paused slightly with the hand holding the magic stone, "...there is no charge for this, right?"

Sophia rolled her eyes slightly, "It's free."

Colin smiled, put away the magic stone and left.

At present, the Haiyan is waiting to be sold, and the matter of joining the school has been basically settled... Without these pressures, he feels much more relaxed than before.

Stopped a public carriage at the roadside.

"Sir, where are you going?" the groom asked.

"White Street, Horseshoe Street." Colin paused and said.

Although Sophia gave him a good impression, she must be on guard against others...

Horseshoe Street was a place he had inquired about elsewhere yesterday. There were many hotels on that street, and the prices were about the same as those of Old Parker.

At the same time, it is also relatively close to the Tongqiangwei District and the Xisheng School... It is a good living choice.

Got on the carriage with Renee and others.

By noon, he successfully found a hotel on Matei Street to settle down.

After staying for fourteen days, the discounted price is a total of 320 magic stones... At this point, except for the final payment of the Haiyan that will be recorded by the Tinghai Chamber of Commerce in the future.

His total assets now total about two thousand magic stones... and he spends money like water.

The next period of time was regular and calm. He resumed his practice, and his life felt like he had on Blackstone Island.

In this way, ten days flew by.

Tinghai Chamber of Commerce came to him and brought him good news - the Haiyan had found a suitable buyer!

"Sir Colin, you are just in time for a good time... that buyer paid a very high price."

It was the long-haired apprentice Hume who personally came to inform him.

"Sir Hume, what do you say?" Colin asked as he followed the long-haired Hume into the black carriage specially used by the Tinghai Chamber of Commerce.

"The details of the matter are more complicated... To put it simply, it is because the Supreme Council issued a notice."

"The wizards under the alliance are encouraged to go to the southern sea. Compared with the previous benefits, all aspects of benefits have been improved, so more wizards are starting to go to the southern sea.

Since then, the price of anything related to ocean voyages on the market has begun to rise... The prices of ocean voyage ships have been changing day by day.

Tinghai Chamber of Commerce deliberately waited a few more days before selling your ship today. "

After speaking, Hume paused and continued to explain:

“It’s not that we are unwilling to wait a little longer, but according to the estimates of professionals from the Chamber of Commerce, the price of ocean-going ships has almost reached its peak.

If we wait any longer, we will wait until a large number of new ships appear on the market... At the speed of the Neustadt City Manufacturing Plant, a batch of new ships will be released soon. In addition, ships imported from outside the Wizards Alliance Almost arrived. "

Colin nodded. He had been busy practicing in recent days. In order to avoid trouble, he rarely left the hotel, so he was not well-informed.

"So... what was the buyer's final bid?" He paused and asked Hume.

Hume smiled and compared a number: "Seventeen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine magic stones."

Colin's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart. But soon, as if he thought of something, he asked again:

"In terms of handling fees..."

"The handling fee has not changed, please rest assured." Hume said with a smile, "Tinghai Chamber of Commerce, credibility guaranteed."

Having said that, in fact this is because the situation in Neustadt City has changed recently, and the school behind them ordered them to avoid causing trouble as much as possible.

Otherwise...if it were in the past, they would have charged a reasonable extra fee.

"Thank you for your hard work." Colin nodded with joy on his face.

Speaking of which, there was another thing that made him happy recently——

That is one's own strength.

Thanks to the high concentration of magic energy in Neustadt City, in the past ten days, his wizard level progress has advanced by two points, reaching 10/100, and his knight progress has also reached 98/100. The limit is about to be exceeded.

It is worth mentioning that it is not that the wizard's training progress is one point every five days. In fact, as a rough estimate, it should be about eight days.

After all, the first point of progress improved on the second day, which is obviously a result of accumulation.

The second point of progress improvement took eight days... This is the real progress.

"Sir Hume, may I ask, where can I see the notice?" After recovering his thoughts, Colin's heart moved and he asked again.

"Of course it's convenient... You may not know much about this when you first come here. Generally, you can get a copy for free by going to any bookstore and showing your pass." Hume replied.

"Okay, thank you." Colin nodded.

After a while, the carriage gradually stopped.

"Are you here?" Colin asked.

Hume opened the car curtains and frowned slightly.

"Not yet..." He smiled at Colin and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the groom."

Just as he was about to ask the groom, a voice came from ahead.

"Lord Hume, the law enforcement team ahead is blocking the road." The groom turned around and said.

Road closure?

Colin subconsciously opened the car curtains and looked out.

In front of the carriage, a pale white light stretched across the road from left to right, blocking the road just like a warning tape in the previous life.

In front of the warning light, stood a tall wizard wearing a silver-grey witch robe... I don't know what material his witch robe was made of. Under the sunlight, the light flowed like metal.

Behind the tall wizard, there is a narrow alley.

A group of knights in silver armor were coordinating with several wizards also wearing silver-grey witch robes to escort a group of ugly-looking ordinary wizards.

"This is..." Hume murmured in shock next to him, "How could the Hidden Rose Black Market be visited by the law enforcement team?!"

Colin's face turned stern, and he asked tentatively:

"Hidden Rose Black Market?"

Hume frowned, thinking about something, with a solemn expression.

After hearing Colin's question, he calmed down his expression and explained simply:

"You should know that there is a black market in the city, and Hidden Rose is the largest and most representative one... The background is very hard, and logically speaking, it shouldn't..."

Having said this, Hume's brows began to furrow again, and he couldn't help but look at the scene in the distance again.

The number of wizards caught was not large, but the meaning behind it was not small.

Neustadt City...perhaps the wind direction has changed.

Putting down the car curtains, the two sat in the car facing each other, silent.

Another moment passed.

Chu tu tu tu——

The unique sound of a steam locomotive suddenly came from behind the carriage.
