Weird Wizarding World

The process of receiving the Golden Feather nameplate went smoothly.

After leaving a mark on the Golden Feather Spire deep in the Black Castle, the entire process of receiving the Golden Feather Nameplate comes to an end.

Colin is consulting Jonah on some details about the Golden Feather nameplate.

"Sir Jonah, the Golden Feather Nameplate allows you to receive two witchcrafts of the same level as your own strength for free every year. How is this calculated every year?"

"It was more than a year between the last time I received it and this time." Jonah answered.

"Is the annual exemption from the school's compulsory mission calculated in the same way?"

"No." Jonah shook his head, "The school's annual mandatory tasks are calculated according to the Yharnam calendar, so exemptions are also calculated according to the Yharnam calendar."

"First-level wizards need to do four mandatory tasks every year, which means they need to do it once every three months." Jonah glanced at Colin and added,

"Since you advanced at the end of the year, you should only have to do one mandatory task. If you haven't done it yet, you can go to the General Affairs Castle and use the Golden Feather Nameplate privileges to offset it now."

"It's been done before." Colin nodded. Going to the southern sea as an accompanying wizard of the Alseus Society was actually a mandatory mission.

This also means that for the remaining month of this year, he does not need to worry about any mandatory tasks for the time being.

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Jonah asked.

Colin thought for a while and asked the last question: "After obtaining the Golden Feather Nameplate, what is the specific monthly magic stone subsidy for the school?"

"If I remember correctly...well, it's a thousand magic stones." Jonah was stunned for a moment, and then replied after thinking for a moment.

"Is it collected on the first floor of the Black Castle just like the apprenticeship subsidy?"

"...Yes." Jonah nodded, his expression still a little strange.

Compared with other benefits that the Golden Feather Nameplate can bring, the monthly subsidy of one thousand magic stones is really not worth mentioning.

But Colin didn't think so.

Yesterday, he recalculated the magic stones on his body and found that they had dropped below five digits, leaving only just over four thousand.

For a first-level wizard, this kind of wealth is obviously considered poor.

Especially because there is another witchcraft on the gold paper - silence, which is close to breaking the limit.

So although he seems to have enough magic stones now, this is undoubtedly only temporary.

‘Perhaps we can consider selling limit-breaking witchcraft to earn magic stones in the future? ’ Colin pondered to himself, but soon shook his head in his mind, ‘This matter needs to be studied carefully. ’

He discovered a long time ago that there were very few witchcraft or meditation methods above zero level, or even some scattered knowledge, circulating on the market.

There is obviously a reason behind this. If you want to sell first-level witchcraft or the like, going directly to the auction house is obviously not feasible.

Of course, this does not mean that you cannot earn magic stones by selling witchcraft, but you need to do some research in advance.

After all, to say the least, witchcraft above zero level is not allowed to be circulated, so it is not impossible to choose to sell witchcraft above zero level, but the efficiency of making money is lower.

Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help but sigh at the serious blockade of witchcraft knowledge in this world.

After bidding farewell to Jonah, he and Ocasie left the Black Castle together. While passing by the first floor of the Black Castle, he picked up this month's magic stone subsidy.

In the Xisheng School, each apprentice receives a monthly subsidy of magic stones that varies according to their level.

This is a benefit specifically for wizard apprentices. After advancing to the first level, they no longer enjoy such benefits.

Therefore, the Golden Feather nameplate can bring a monthly subsidy of one thousand magic stones, which is an unexpected surprise for Colin.

The warm sunshine is shining in large areas, bringing a bit of warmth to this cold winter noon.

The city of Neustadt has been covered with a layer of white snow, but the streets are still dry under the influence of witchcraft. There are an endless stream of carriages on the road, just like before, not affected by the harsh weather at all.

Colin and O'Casey walked side by side on the pedestrian paths on both sides of the street. Next to them were bare street trees, with some white snow accumulation on their branches.

Without Jonah, the atmosphere between the two became dull and awkward.

Colin didn't pay too much attention. After all, whether in his previous life or now, he was not willing to socialize, so it was good to just walk quietly like this.

Whether it was the warm winter sun or the white snow on the eaves of the nearby houses, they all made him feel very comfortable.

The city of Neustadt in winter also has a unique scenery.

But Ocasie on the side didn't think so. She didn't like such a dull atmosphere and always felt uncomfortable.

"Your Excellency Colin, are you short of magic stones?" She thought for a moment and asked, but as soon as the words came out, she felt something was not good, so she added awkwardly: "I mean, since your Excellency has It's Jin Yu, and the problem with the magic stone is just the most trivial one..."

Colin shook his head, "I do lack magic stones."

Looking at Ocasie who looked confused, he added, "I don't want to be restricted, so I don't plan to join a faction, nor do I plan to join a pure-blood family."

"Don't plan to join the faction?" Ocasie's delicate face showed obvious surprise.

She is a typical wizard of the school who has lived in the city of Neustadt since she was a child.

Her late father and Wizard Jonah were close friends, so even though her father passed away very early, her growth path was still smooth sailing.

In her opinion, if a wizard wants to climb up, he must join a faction.

This is a conventional understanding... However, when thinking about Colin Jinyu and his possible identity as a heroic wizard, Ocasi is not so surprised.

After all, there are indeed a few loners among the high-level wizards of the school.

Looking at Colin's angular profile, she felt a little admiration in her heart.

If you want to climb a vine, you need to cling to a tall tree. But if you are a tall tree, you don't need to do this. You can walk alone.

After walking for a while, Ocasie turned into an alley, then stopped after walking a few steps, turned around and said:

"We are here, Sir Colin."

Colin looked up.

This is a courtyard surrounded by tall gray walls. Behind the black fence gate is a three-story castle with a somewhat vicissitudes of life.

The castle is not big, with only three floors. The front yard is narrow. Apart from the cobblestone paths for people to walk on, there is only a white circular fountain with a diameter of one meter. A corner of the book sculpture in the center of the pool is broken, and the past flows. The water in the pool has also condensed into ice cubes at this time.

Colin raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little disappointed. The scene in front of him was completely different from the place where he imagined the True Knowledge Society would be stationed.

In his imagination, the mysterious and powerful True Knowledge Society, not to mention how luxurious and majestic its residence is, should be comparable to the Xisheng School...

But now it looks a bit like the dilapidated black stone castles of the Lapp School on Black Stone Island.

"Let's go, Sir Colin, I'll take you in." O'Casey said. She noticed Colin's expression, thought for a moment and added:

"On weekdays, if there is nothing else, members of the True Knowledge Society would not come here. This place is more of a place to store knowledge and files. Although it seems inconspicuous, it is the most defensive place in the city of Neustadt. One of the powerful places.

However, these are only incidental. What True Knowledge pursues is truth, not power. "

"Is it true..." Colin nodded slightly and followed Ocasie in.

No matter what the true knowledge society is, as long as it can bring you resources as expected, that is enough.

After looking at it, tomorrow's update may not be adjusted to noon so soon. It should be in the afternoon, but should it be before six o'clock?
