Weird Wizarding World

"A gathering of the Trinate royal family?" Colin asked aloud.

"Um..." Hawthorne's face flashed with a trace of subtle embarrassment, and he paused and explained:

“To be precise, it was a gathering of businessmen hosted by the royal family, and the main guests invited were major businessmen from all over Fabados.

But the host is a member of the royal family...usually, either a prince or a princess. "

Colin's attitude was gentler than he expected.

But the more this happened, the more he couldn't handle it as well as he could with those business partners.

The rhythm of the words cannot be controlled freely in my own hands.

Colin nodded slightly and listened patiently to Hawthorne's words, then shook his head and declined:

"Sorry, I'm not interested in parties."

"Your Excellency Nader, at the same time as every gathering, there will also be a small auction." Hawthorne seemed to have expected it, and he quickly continued:

"I learned from it that among the items in this auction, there is a token of the Lanti School in Meredith City.

With it, you can join the real wizard school. "

'I see. ’

At this moment Colin finally realized.

No wonder Hawthorn was sure to come over and invite him to some party.

It turned out that he thought he was a wandering wizard.

For wandering wizards, a token that can join the wizard school is naturally very tempting.

However, for him, a wizard who had already joined the second-tier school in Neustadt - the Tin Sage School, the so-called Lanti School's token seemed a bit lackluster.

However, Hawthorn's purpose... Colin's mind turned and he speculated——

I'm afraid... you want to take advantage of the situation, or to form a good relationship?

After all, if he went to participate in the auction, he would definitely participate through Hawthorn's channels.

Naturally, it will be labeled as the Hawthorne force.

Other than that, there shouldn't be much.

The party itself shouldn't be risky... Hawthorn doesn't seem like a fool.

Colin mused to himself, he didn't feel anything at all.

If he was a wandering wizard, this might be a win-win situation.

It's a pity... he is not a wandering wizard and has no such needs.

"Sorry, I have no intention of joining the school."

So Colin looked at Hawthorn, declined again, and then paused and said:

"Is there anything else Mr. Hawthorne has to do? If not, I have something else to do later..."

When Hawthorn heard his words, his expression was obviously stunned.

He didn't expect that Colin in front of him had no interest in the tokens that would allow him to join the school...

Could it be that there is already a token?

"The Lanti School is one of the top 100 schools in Meredith City, and it is famous for its loose conditions for joining." Hawthorne emphasized again unwillingly.

As for Colin already being a member of the school... he had thought about this possibility, but in the end he thought it was unlikely.

Whether it is Colin's attitude towards others or Colin's behavior when he came to Nanau, he was more like a wandering wizard.

Those sects of wizards have always been superior.

Even the mildest among them can only feel the haughtiness in their gentle attitude.

It will never be as natural as Colin.

He speculated that the greater possibility was that Colin already had a token to join the school, or that he really did not intend to join the school.

"Feel sorry."

After listening to Hawthorne's words, Colin put away his smile and calmly shook his head again.

The rejection has been very obvious.

When Hawthorn saw this, his heart trembled. After sighing secretly, he left decisively:

"Since Mr. Colin has no such idea, I won't disturb you any more."

"Um."

After Hawthorne left, Colin stood up and went to the study window. He quietly looked down and watched Hawthorne walk out of the door of the villa, walk through the courtyard, and then leave.

Hawthorn is a man who knows how to advance and retreat, and he doesn't get too entangled.

If this trip was for vacation, he would have the leisure to follow Hawthorne to see what the party held by the world's royal family was like.

It should all be about increasing your knowledge and experiencing the local customs.

However, time is still too precious for him now.

The war was still going on, and he didn't have that much time to waste elsewhere.

Withdrawing his gaze, Colin silently walked towards the meditation room.

The knight has successfully advanced all the way, and there is no need to spend so much time on the Yiguang Breathing Technique for the time being.

There is no need to wait for the body transformation to be completed. Now he has exceeded the requirements of strengthening the foundation of the body.

What he needs to do is to strengthen the connection between the strengthened body and the soul...

This is also the final step in strengthening the foundation of the body.

What also needs to be done is, of course, meditation to improve the wizard level.

When all of this is completed, it will be time for him to return to the city of Neustadt.

…

On the banks of the Lebo River.

Hawthorn walked out of Villa No. 5. Although his face was as calm as water, his steps were no longer as brisk as before.

"grown ups?"

The personal guard of the great knight stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Beside him, there were two young people standing at this time, a man and a woman.

"Dad! Why did you ask me to come here? I made an appointment with Karl to go hunting today!"

Among the two, the younger boy complained with some dissatisfaction.

"Father." The girl next to him, about fifteen or sixteen years old, greeted softly, with a calm temperament.

Hawthorn glanced at his son and said nothing.

He just turned to look at his daughter next to him and responded softly.

The young man on the other side immediately calmed down after taking a glance at Hawthorne, and quickly shut up, not daring to say anything more.

According to his experience, his father may be in a bad mood now, so he would rather not take the initiative to get into trouble!

Hawthorne took the lead and walked forward.

He originally called this pair of children, hoping to take the opportunity to introduce them to the Nader wizard... and maybe even become his disciple.

For a real estate developer like him, although he can occasionally learn about the appearance of school tokens, this is limited to knowledge.

It is extremely difficult to obtain.

In other words, even if you can bankrupt your fortune to get one, you probably won't be able to keep it.

So if he could get a wandering wizard as his teacher, it would already be a good choice in his mind.

Unfortunately, his attitude towards Colin has obviously reached a critical point.

If you make unnecessary demands again, it will turn a good thing into a bad thing, and the goodwill accumulated before will be wiped out.

So in the end, he didn't bring it up again.

"pity……"

"It seems that we have to find other hope for this gathering, otherwise..."

Hawthorn turned his head and looked at the Lepo River, feeling a little disappointed and sighing softly.

Wealth is just the icing on the cake for power.

But strength is to wealth what branches are to leaves, and cannot be lacking.

Otherwise, it will surely wither and wither.

…

At the same time, in the city of Neustadt.

There are also people who are sighing.

It's Aki from the Hitos family.

However, unlike Hawthorne's sigh, Axi's sigh was cold and deadly.

"You mean that all the 'shadows' except you have been eliminated by Atbold?"

In the study, Axi sighed, and then asked slowly.

The black mist on the surface of the black figure in front of him vibrated regularly for a moment, sending a certain message to him.

"If that's the case, then why are you coming back?"

A smile appeared on Aki's face, but he spoke cold words.

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the window.

At the same time, the black mist on the black figure facing him behind him suddenly shrank as if it came to life, squeezing the black figure and making a creaking sound.

Shadow desperately tried to control the black mist that he had commanded like an arm in the past, but it was in vain.

After a moment, dark red blood spurted out from the gaps in the black mist, forming several blood pillars.

It looks like a juicy fruit has been squeezed hard and the juice is splashing everywhere.

"What a disgusting scene."

At some point, Axi turned his head. He was leaning against the window. The sun was shining from behind him, hiding his expression in the shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.

thump.

After a while, the black mist gradually dissipated, seemingly due to the death of the host, and the shadow that had turned into minced meat lost its support and fell heavily to the ground.

Through the sunlight shining in from the window, one could vaguely make out the ball of minced meat on the carpet, which seemed to be that of a naked human woman.

Some black traces of transformation can still be faintly seen on the partially intact skin.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the mouth and nose on the woman's head, which are tightly sewn together with dense black silk threads, making it look oozing and disgusting.

But Aki on the side was completely unaware and didn't care at all about the dark red blood splashing everywhere.

"Where did you hide that carrying object?"

He just leaned against the window quietly and continued to murmur silently.

He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to someone.

After a while, Axi straightened up with a stern look on his face.

He didn't plan to wait any longer, he wanted to go and deal with Atbold personally and find that thing!

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

But at this moment, the door was suddenly knocked.

"Master, your uncle is here."

The reformed maid outside the door whispered.

A hint of impatience flashed across Axi's face, he straightened up from the window, stepped over the minced meat on the ground, pushed the door open and walked out.

Walking down the spiral staircase, Aki's expression became calm.

"Uncle Joyce, why are you here?" A smile appeared on his face, and he asked in surprise to the slightly wealthy middle-aged man in the living room.

However, Joyce on the side was not in a hurry to respond. He stared at Axi's bloody soles and said coldly:

"Are you still studying those witchcrafts?"

"It's just some little tricks." Aki stopped smiling, calmly walked to the sofa and sat down opposite Joyce.

Looking at his appearance, Joyce's stern expression suddenly turned melancholy.

"It has been more than sixty years, Axi." He whispered, "Plan Rudolph is dead, and what happened back then is over."

"Not yet." Yaxi shook his head calmly and leaned completely on the back of the sofa.

Joyce was silent for a while and then said:

"The family hopes that you will stop targeting Atbold, focus on your own cultivation, and stop studying meaningless witchcraft...or you can take on some necessary work."

Yaxi sneered and continued:

"Family hope? Atebold is just a dying cripple, will the family take him seriously?

You hope so, Uncle Joyce! "

"I am doing it for your own good, although an Atbald is nothing.

But this is after all a case of members of a fellow school sect fighting each other, and it would be a big no-no if they were discovered. "Joyce continued.

He looked at Axi and said in a deep voice:

"It's time for you to move on. Over the past sixty years, your cultivation has barely improved. Do you know how many younger generations have surpassed you?"

"Uncle Joyce, you are twenty years older than me, so you are still on the same level as me." Yaxi choked back.

"..."

Joyce's face froze, he lost the momentum of teaching, paused, and finally said in a deep voice:

"Anyway, you have to know, Aki, that level is the most important thing for a wizard."

"If you want to deal with Altbould, then go ahead, but remember, you must be fully prepared. Manager Field may be able to help you."

Yaxi watched Joyce leave, without getting up to see her off, but just sat quietly on the sofa.

He disliked Joyce, and not just because of his controlling attitude.

It's even more because of his dead father...

but.

Joyce had been getting one thing wrong.

Aki sank his body deeply into the leather sofa and stared at the ceiling in trance.

It's not that he is unwilling to continue to improve his strength over the years.

But there is no way to improve the strength at all.

"Pulan... I obtained the secret technique of transformation back then, but you said you found nothing in the rooms you searched.

I believed it, and I shared the secret technique with you, but you said you found it disgusting and did not want to practice it. "

"But why, after this, you suddenly became Jin Yu?"

Axi's eyes were in trance, and his lips moved silently.

Hatred and ridicule spread out from every corner of his face.

"People later thought you were a genius since you were a child, but I am the only one who knows that you are not. Those are just false rumors. You are just an ordinary wizard no different from me."

"What a coincidence, the secret technique I obtained happened to be missing the most critical carrier.

If I had it, I would not be in a situation where my qualifications have regressed and I am still standing still at the second level. "

"If it exists, according to the secret technique -

I already have talents that are beyond the first level! "

"Just like you, right? Pulan!"

Thinking of this, Yaxi already gritted his teeth and looked ferocious.

After a while, he regained his composure, slowly got up from the sofa and walked up the stairs.

When he passed the corner of the stairs, he paused for a moment.

On the dark green wall here hangs a portrait of a beautiful high elf.

The artist's skills are excellent and the characters are drawn vividly.

Her blond hair is smooth, her facial features are exquisite, and her temperament is as tranquil as water.

'Octavier...'

Aki murmured, but the meaning was incomprehensible.

He turned around and continued walking upstairs.

As Joyce said, if you want to deal with Altbould, you must not be reckless, and you need to make some preparations.

Joyce's advice flashed through his mind:

'Is Field in charge...'

My body has almost recovered. I will try to update before 6pm tomorrow.

Then strive for noon the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, I will try to start updating three times a day, and I will still be able to make up for the missed updates!

Even though I tried, I couldn't hold on for long.

But you can’t let it go like this, keep working hard, you can always see the day when Shiyuan will update three chapters every day!
