Weird Wizarding World

"Is it that thing you said on New Year's Eve?" Colin raised his eyebrows and asked aloud after hearing Shelley's words.

"Yes." Shelley nodded.

Colin hesitated and asked curiously:

"Can I ask what exactly you are going to do?"

Shelley stared at him, with a rare expression of embarrassment on his delicate face.

"If it's inconvenient, don't force it. I'm just asking casually." Colin smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I have to leave Neustadt for a while tomorrow."

Shelley glanced at him and subconsciously wanted to ask more, but quickly realized that something was wrong and closed her mouth.

"I plan to go to the surrounding small countries to get some materials needed for witchcraft." Colin said proactively without covering up too much.

Shelley nodded slightly, but did not continue to ask any more questions.

"That's it, Mr. Shelley, I wish you a smooth trip." Colin paused and continued with a smile.

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Colin——" Shelley behind him stared at his figure, his eyes flickered for a moment, and suddenly he stopped him in a low voice and asked slowly:

"What do you think of pureblood families?"

Colin slowly turned around, with a little surprise on his face. He thought about it and said calmly:

"Not too fond of it."

Although the pure-blood family adheres to the apparent order for the time being, it has not caused him any substantial harm.

But that didn't stop Colin from hating them.

That mandatory task that was suddenly assigned at the beginning of the month, he later obtained half of the information by bribing the wizard on duty——

His mission was temporarily assigned... Although this information was not much, it was enough for Colin to make a solid guess.

With the arrival of the mandatory mission, it was obvious that the pure-blood family was putting pressure on him.

…Those people are used to being noble and always feel that everything has to be done according to their wishes.

After hearing Colin's answer, Shelley's face didn't change much, and she just nodded slightly.

"I wish you a good journey." She said seriously.

"Yeah." Colin nodded.

After he left, Shelley did not return to the laboratory.

As mentioned before, she will also leave Neustadt City for a period of time tomorrow, so she will naturally have to make some preparations today.

Originally, I planned to finish communicating with Colin at noon and start preparations in the afternoon, but now that Colin has gone back, there is naturally no communication at noon.

Then Shelley has no reason to stay here any longer.

Passing through the side door behind the Castle of True Knowledge, Shelley put on a hood to cover up his conspicuous white hair, and arrived at a remote alley.

Then he turned left and right and walked into an ordinary gray bungalow.

Then, Shelley walked to an inconspicuous corner of the house and waved gently.

The ground and the wall in front of him suddenly cracked, and a moment later, a dark hole appeared silently in front of him.

Shelley did not hesitate, bent down, and walked down the stairs step by step.

The wall behind her closed quickly without making any sound.

…

The next day, it was bright and clear.

After telling Renee that if anything happened, she could go to the school to seek help from Instructor Atbold, Colin walked out of the house alone.

The purpose of his going out this time was for nothing else but to find a few materials for casting the Black Mist Net.

When he broke through the limits of the two disguise witchcrafts, he had extra time.

After all, the time for daily meditation is limited, and the commission for customized witchcraft has been completed. The magic stones are enough for the time being, and there is no rush to break the limit of witchcraft to sell.

After all, Colin would rather prioritize improving his own strength than earning magic stones.

If you want to improve your strength, the Black Mist Web is naturally your top priority.

Colin has already mastered this witchcraft and only needs some materials to make it work as it should.

It's a pity that in this huge city of Neustadt, there is no place for him to obtain materials.

The same is true for the surrounding Kingdom of Neustadt.

Those death row prisoners have long been booked by the schools in the city.

Otherwise he wouldn't have gone out.

Fortunately, witchcraft like this is not mainstream, and the supply of death row prisoners still exceeds demand.

You don't need to go too far. You only need to go a little further, such as the Kingdom of Fabados that you have visited before, and you can get the materials. The death row prisoners there have not yet been booked.

Thinking all the way, Colin stood on the teleportation array.

As a ray of light flashed, his figure gradually disappeared.

A moment later, a green-eyed wizard with gray-brown hair and thick glasses also entered the hall of the Teleportation Administration.

Wearing a gray robe and thick glasses, she looked like an inconspicuous female scholar.

Next to the green-eyed wizard, there were two figures, one tall and one short.

The tall one is a woman who looks ordinary in appearance, but if you look closely, you can find that there are tiny orange lightnings swimming in her blazing white eyes, which is full of oppression.

The other male wizard, who was slightly shorter, was lackluster. He looked like just an ordinary old wizard with a wrinkled face.

After paying the teleportation fee, not long after, it was the turn of the green-eyed witch, and she walked towards the teleportation array.

"I wish you a smooth trip, Lord Bing Ji." The old wizard said first, his voice a little hoarse.

"Ms. Bing Ji, do you really not need someone to accompany you?" Another wizard suddenly said, with worry that could not be wiped off his face.

"No need." The green-eyed witch shook her head, "I am the only one who can go there. If there is any danger, it will be useless no matter how many people there are."

The two wizards fell silent and said nothing more.

………………

On the other side, after several hours of trekking, Colin arrived at Nanau, the capital of the Kingdom of Fabados, before noon.

The familiar Lepo River was now frozen, and the many boats in the past had disappeared, leaving only a few fishermen fishing on the thin ice with fishing lines.

The reason why I chose to come here was not only because of the proximity, but also because of the familiarity.

Familiarity can save a lot of unnecessary time consumption.

It only took an hour for Colin to contact the Nanau royal family through Hawthorn, a familiar large real estate developer.

After that, except for the somewhat annoying smell of makeup on the two accompanying princesses, nothing else happened.

Colin successfully exchanged a few magic stones for nine death row prisoners.

In fact, before coming here, he had not thought of using other methods to obtain materials, such as going to the Kingdom of Neustadt outside Neustadt to try and search.

Although the Supreme Council does not allow the indiscriminate killing of ordinary people, as a first-level wizard, he has countless ways to overcome this restriction.

The easiest thing is to go to the slave market in Neustadt Kingdom and buy a few slaves.

But Colin didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. There was no big reason, and it wasn't even good or evil.

He just doesn't want to and doesn't like it.

However, countless philosophers have said that unwillingness, unwillingness, dislike... are the biggest reasons in themselves.

Colin was convinced.

But now it seems that coming to Fabados is not bad. The efficiency is not much worse than buying slaves directly, and they are all on death row. In addition, you can also complete the black mist transformation here.

Colin rejected the residence provided by the royal family and chose to live in the original villa.

After he left, Hawthorn kept the villa and never rented it out again.

Except for regular cleaning, the interior decoration has not been touched at all... which can be considered thoughtful.

"Sir Nader, I wonder how long you will stay here this time?" Hawthorne asked as he walked into the villa with him.

Colin glanced at him with a calm expression.

Hawthorn's heart skipped a beat and he quickly added:

"That's right. I saw that you didn't bring your previous maid with you this time, so I wanted to ask if I need to arrange some maids for you to handle chores."

"No need, just send some food here every day." Colin shook his head, and then added in detail: "It will be for fifteen people in the first three days, and three people every day after that."

After being transformed by the black mist, those death row prisoners no longer need to eat.

After all, at that time, they were no longer strictly human beings. They could survive simply by absorbing magic power, so they did not need to eat and excrete like humans.

As for the extra shares requested in the past few days, apart from what he needed for himself, they were also prepared for the prisoners.

After all, before carrying out the Black Mist transformation, Colin planned to strengthen them into great knights.

"Okay, Lord Nader." Hawthorne nodded heavily. He subconsciously looked behind him, feeling a little chilled in his heart.

After the death row prisoners got off the prison cart at the door, they turned into zombies and followed them obediently.

However, although Hawthorn was a little scared, he didn't feel anything.

The previous contact made Hawthorn understand that the wizard in front of him was not an evil person, or... he didn't know whether he was good or bad, but at least he was a wizard with a bottom line.

"How is your daughter?" Colin suddenly asked.

"Are you talking about Wenxi... Thanks to your blessing, Wenxi has gone to the Wizarding City and successfully joined the school."

Hawthorne sounded a little proud.

"Very good." Colin nodded slightly, a little surprised.

After all, when the test was first conducted, the girl's talent was not considered top-notch, and she was not too young.

He originally thought that Wen Qian would not be able to pass the examination...

But who can tell clearly about the circumstances of life?

Colin shook his head and walked forward with the death row prisoner.

…

Just one day later.

Those death row prisoners with varying physical fitness were transformed into great knights by Colin's blood pattern transformation technique after breaking the limit.

On the second day, he used the fighting spirit of his first-level knight to eliminate the negative effects of the blood pattern transformation technique as much as possible to avoid its negative impact on the black mist transformation that would be carried out later.

Without considering future development and physical harm, after some operations, these death row prisoners actually improved slightly.

Although he is still in the stage of a great knight, he has reached the highest level that a mortal can reach.

At this point, the preparation work has been successfully completed.

For the Web of Black Mist, the best material is a wizard who is also a knight, followed by a wizard alone, then a knight alone, and finally ordinary people.

But everything is relative.

The materials that Colin now has that have reached the top level of a great knight are naturally much better than ordinary apprentice wizards who only have middle and low levels.

If he could apply for human body materials normally in the school, he would probably only be able to apply for materials of this quality at best.

Of course, if you want to fully utilize the power of the Black Mist Web, the best casting material is naturally a first-level wizard.

If Almighty uses a first-level high-level wizard as the material, the power that this final witchcraft can display can be compared to the second-level mid-level witchcraft, and even some second-level high-level witchcraft can also be compared.

But obviously, for the current Colin, let alone using first-order high-level wizards as materials, he can't even get wizard materials.

The status of an official wizard is extremely high, and the materials needed for the Black Mist Web are still alive.

Generally speaking, the number of materials required for the Black Mist Web is six.

It can be more or less, but the minimum number cannot be less than three and the maximum number cannot be more than eighteen.

Six is ​​the best choice. Any more will only increase the number of black mist puppets, also called silent shadows, but cannot increase the strength of the black mist armor and other auxiliary blessings.

Six official wizards were used as materials...even the original Aki couldn't get them together.

Therefore, when fighting at that time, the black mist armor blessed by Aki could only be regarded as the top level among the second-level lower level.

The summoned fire element that came from the gold paper to break the limit is also the top level of witchcraft in the second level. In addition, Aki was depleted by a lot of energy in the initial tug-of-war, and finally lost to him.

This time, Colin bought nine death row inmates mainly because of the failure of rehabilitation. After all, this was the first time for him to practice with living people.

In addition to being extremely powerful in theory, the Black Mist Web also has another benefit - extremely low magic power consumption.

This consumption is so low that it is almost the same as, or even lower than, the magic power consumption required to maintain the spirit mist.

After all, the main part of the Black Mist Web is the transformation material.

It was done before the battle.

In the battle, what Colin needs to pay is mainly to summon the magic power of the Black Mist Armor.

As for the magic power that maintains the Black Mist Armor, it is more provided by each Silent Shadow.

They are like magic nodes, connected together to weave a large network, providing the host with defense, magic replenishment and other effects.

If you have to compare it, this witchcraft should be regarded as the strongest witchcraft that Colin currently masters.

Even the set of witchcraft awarded by the Supreme Council - Temple Ring Binding, can't compare.

Unfortunately, excellent material is hard to find.

Simply using the Great Knight as a material can at most make Black Mist Web reach Aki's level, or even slightly inferior.

After all, Aki must have used the wizard's apprentice as material.

But it doesn't matter. It can enhance the combat power a little bit. Anyway, it consumes less and can coexist with the steel temperature-resistant force field.

Time passes quietly like running water.

Transforming the material took more time than Colin imagined.

Only on the sixth day after arriving in Nanau, he embarked on his return journey.

In fact, Colin also had to make the journey back.

Because on the sixth day, which was also the early morning of February 1st of the Anan calendar, after the school badge on his body flashed for a while, those familiar words reappeared——

"Your Excellency Colin Leonard, please go to the school to receive the second mandatory mission this year."
