Weird Wizarding World

"I would rather know why you are here, Lord Shelley?"

Colin did not answer her words, but asked with a serious face.

He chased the ice and snow monster all the way, but found Shelley in this suspected ice and snow monster's lair.

It is obviously impossible to say that there is no connection between the two.

And if there is a connection... Colin still remembers the tragic attack on Gubei Village before.

As Colin's words fell.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense.

Only then did Colin realize that the cave in front of him was so peaceful.

The ring-shaped blizzard wall surrounding the spine-like glacier seemed to shut out everything, including sound.

The translucent blue cave wall shines under the shimmering light from Shelley's hair, and the deep cave is as beautiful as another unknown world.

The light from the white hair on Shelley's head gradually disappeared, and the cave began to grow dark.

laugh.

With a thought, Colin used the light spell to summon a white ball of light above the two.

The soft white light spreads, covering the mysterious Shelley in front of him with a hazy white veil.

The translucent light blue skin on her body has not completely returned to the appearance of an ordinary person. Although it has become as white as milk, it is still somewhat transparent, like warm jade, with an otherworldly beauty.

Shelley remained silent, her expression as calm as the one she had seen at noon every day at the Zhenzhihui.

But if you look closely, you can find a hint of hidden hesitation between his beautiful eyebrows.

This spine-like glacier and the special state just now are Shelley's biggest secrets.

Since about ten years ago, no one in the world has known this secret.

In other words, everyone who knew it was dead.

Some were killed by others, and some were killed by Shelley himself.

‘Should we continue to bury this secret? ’

Shelley didn't know, but the only thing she was sure of was that she didn't want to kill Colin to silence him.

This seems like a very arrogant idea, but it is true.

If it were in other places, maybe Shelley would not be so "arrogant", but here, in "Tromay", even a fourth-level wizard could not hurt her, and at most he could save his own life.

If Colin had woken up Shelley a little later, he would have faced more than just some moving ice walls and biting cold air.

But Shelley didn't want to, she didn't want to kill the wizard in front of her.

The wizard in front of her was her rare friend... sort of.

Of course, in fact, she doesn't have any friends at all.

Not to mention friends who can communicate with each other on boring and lonely witchcraft knowledge.

The only one who can truly be called a friend is probably Colin.

During the True Knowledge Meeting, although most of the discussions between the two at noon were related to knowledge, Colin would always say something off-topic.

Although she didn't respond most of the time, she actually listened carefully... She still remembered the New Year's dinner, the delicious fish soup, the novel experience of preparing gifts for the first time, and Colin's interest in the courtyard. Brilliant fireworks set off vigorously.

It is a great blessing to be able to communicate with someone who has similar views. Many people never have a relaxing and pleasant conversation again after they grow up.

But they are like this at every ordinary noon.

Colin stared at the silent Shelley, watching the shimmering white hair on her head slowly extinguish, and the tips of her hair fell fluffily to her delicate chin.

"I came here chasing an ice monster."

He paused for a moment and took the initiative to break the silence.

He believed that the ice and snow monster was not released by Shelley to kill the villagers of Gubei Village.

Maybe those ice and snow monsters are Shelley's pets, but due to special reasons, Shelley neglected to take care of them...

Negligence...seems to be responsible as well.

Colin pursed his lips slightly. No matter what, at least he believed that Shelley was not the kind of wizard who would kill ordinary people for no reason.

It could even be said that Shelley was the wizard he had ever seen who cared least about the class gap between himself and ordinary people.

That New Year's dinner, she was completely natural with Renee, even though Sister Renee was dining with them.

The conversation with Renee during the meal was also extremely equal.

It can be seen that this is not intentional, but Shelly seems to be like this when communicating with everyone.

Not only are they equal, but they are also very straightforward and have no regard for human feelings.

There are no pleasantries or politeness. If you are not interested, you won't say more than a word.

In contrast, her senior Lillian, who grew up in a wizarding family, had a very gentle attitude towards Renee and even learned how to make roast goose from Renee.

But Colin knew that those were mostly for his own sake.

"Ice monster?"

Shelley raised her head and looked at him with some confusion. The snowstorm in her eyes had completely disappeared, leaving only the clear light blue like the ice wall next to her.

Colin looked at the doubts in her eyes that didn't seem to be fake, and he couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart. He looked at Shelley with his blue eyes and continued:

"There are some blue monsters that are similar to ice elements and can turn into blizzards and ice crystal giants. After crushing them, they can move with an ice crystal core. If left alone, they can quickly return to their full glory."

Both of them have blue eyes, but Colin's are more like the blue sea, while Shelley's are like light blue ice walls.

"I have never seen the ice and snow monster you mentioned." Shelley shook her head and denied again. She tilted her head and felt the surroundings slightly, then asked: "Did it run in from here? I didn't feel it. to the existence of other living creatures.”

"Already dead, killed by me." Colin shook his head, feeling slightly relieved for some reason, and then added:

"I beat it down to its core in Gubei Village, and then chased it all the way here... I thought this was its lair."

"Not here, this is special..." Shelley reacted, closed his mouth, paused and affirmed: "In short, there is absolutely no way this is the lair of some ice and snow monster."

"I believe you, Shelley...but where is this place and why are you here?"

Shelley did not answer. She looked at Colin carefully and suddenly said:

"If I'm not mistaken, you seem to have advanced to a second-level wizard, Sir Colin?"

Colin's expression was slightly startled and he fell silent.

Seeing this, Shelley curved the corner of his mouth slightly, stroked the tip of his hair beside his ear and asked:

"Where are the remains of that ice monster?"

Colin glanced at her.

Shelley's expression had already returned to a calm look. No matter how he looked at her, he couldn't see any flaws. She just stared at him calmly.

Those beautiful blue eyes were so clear that they reflected Colin's figure.

"At the entrance of the cave." Colin looked away and pointed behind him.

Rumble——

Without even looking at Shelley's movements, the ice wall behind him suddenly moved to the side, revealing the passage he came from.

"Let's go over and have a look." Shelley passed Colin and led the way forward.

Colin stood there for a few seconds, and finally took steps to follow.

Ta-ta-ta--

The two walked side by side, the bright ball of light illuminating the road ahead and lengthening their shadows. Only their footsteps echoed in the silent passage.

After a moment, Shelley turned around and asked: "Sir Colin, so you have indeed advanced to the second-level wizard, right? The fireball and the fire element just now are not witchcraft that a first-level wizard can cast multiple times."

Colin turned to look at her, was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly.

There is no point in denying it. Casting spells beyond a certain level can be explained by talent, but the intensity of the battle just now is definitely not something that a first-level wizard can support with his magical power.

"If I remember correctly, when Ocasi brought you to join the True Knowledge Society that day, she said that you had just advanced to the first level of advanced wizard.

"Furthermore, it seems that your time to become an official wizard was only not long ago."

"Such a cultivation speed is not unpleasant. It is precisely because of this that you have become the new Jin Yu of the Xisheng School."

Shelley stared ahead, minding his own business and continued:

"But today, it seems that the Golden Feather of the Xisheng School is not enough to reflect your talent. Who would have thought that you would advance again in a short period of time, and now you are already a second-level wizard!"

Shelley's tone was filled with sincere admiration. She really didn't expect Colin to advance so quickly.

"What do you want to say, Mr. Shelley?" Colin stopped, his body tensed slightly, and his heart sank slightly.

This abnormal advancement speed is related to his biggest secret-gold paper.

Even though he had a good impression of Shelley, he was still a little nervous at the moment.

Shelley also stopped, turned around, and looked up at him slightly, her snow-white hair falling down her soft cheeks, revealing her white neck.

Shelley's expression was serious. She looked at Colin with her beautiful light blue eyes and said every word:

"I think this should be your secret, Sir Colin."

Colin remained silent, also watching Shelley.

The latter looked calm and continued: "I will keep your secret - as a friend."

Colin was slightly startled, but after Shelley said this, he turned around and continued walking forward.

He caught up with Shelley, was silent for a moment, and then said slowly:

"I saw nothing today and have never been here before."

After a pause, he continued: "Because we are friends, right, Shelley?"

"Yeah." Shelley nodded slowly.

The two looked at each other, feeling somewhat relieved.

"I never thought you could talk so much about anything other than knowledge." Colin paused and said with a raised corner of his mouth.

"I just don't like it, it's not that I won't." Shelley rolled her eyes at him.

Colin raised his eyebrows: "I thought you had facial paralysis."

Although he had never heard this word before, Shelley quickly reacted and rolled his eyes at Colin again.

"This is a contract." Shelley thought for a while and took out a brown contract.

She took the lead in writing a clause on it that would not disclose Colin's specific strength, and then handed it to Colin.

Colin took over the contract obediently.

This does not necessarily mean that Shelley does not trust him. On the contrary, it may mean that Shelley wants him to feel more secure.

In fact, Shelley would have proposed a contract if he had not produced one.

This is not about distrust, but about deepening trust.

Watching the contract burn up in the flames, and feeling that there is a trace of imprint on the soul, the atmosphere between the two becomes more harmonious.

They all made a tacit understanding not to ask each other sensitive topics.

Colin no longer struggled with where this place was, and Shelley no longer obsessed with his strength.

So, the two started talking about ice and snow monsters.

"So there are two ice and snow monsters in total. You killed one on the spot in Gubei Village, and only the core of the other one was left, and then you chased it all the way here?"

Shelley frowned: "The ice and snow monsters you mentioned are most likely strange creatures born in the far north, but most of them will not actively attack humans. If they can attack, they will probably fight back...or else they will. Contaminated by the gods.”

Colin raised his eyebrows.

"Gods are the biggest cancer in this world."

Shelley simply said something and skipped the topic. She looked at the tunnel ahead and said slowly:

“The Far North is extremely vast and rarely inhabited. On the surface it seems to be a dead and lifeless land.

But behind the scenes, like other places in the Siya continent, there are also many cute creatures living here... Well, if you go beyond here and walk a little further, you can see a flightless bird. "

"They come in groups. They are small, chubby, and a little clumsy on land, but they are as nimble as fish in the sea."

Colin nodded slightly, feeling inexplicably familiar with Shelley's description.

'A bird that can't fly, but can swim...isn't it a penguin? ’

This may have been common knowledge in the original world, but in this world, few people know about this kind of bird that lives in extremely cold places.

In order to avoid exposing more abnormalities, Colin did not answer, but just echoed: "It's a bit strange."

After a while, they came to the entrance of the cave.

Before Colin could speak, Shelley walked to a corner and stopped, leaning over and twisting a handful of light gray powder in his hand to look at it.

"I probably know what monster you're talking about."

Shelley clapped his hands, stood up, and turned around and said, "Want to visit the real lair of this ice and snow monster?"

"Can you find it?"

"There is nothing in this snow that I don't know about yet."

Shelley smiled.

She looked down at the ashes left by the Yeti core on the ground, feeling a little annoyed.

This abominable ice and snow monster actually ran towards me and even brought Colin with him!

According to common sense, she has some kind of deterrent effect on these monsters.

Now this ice and snow monster came here specially, obviously hoping to divert trouble to the east!

And according to what Colin said, these monsters also enjoy killing ordinary humans, and most of them have been contaminated... Shelley wrinkled her nose slightly, she will not let go of these cancerous tumors in the snow!
