Weird Wizarding World

Neuss left the palace in despair. He did not hold up the protective shield and allowed the high-altitude wind to hit his face with the biting cold air.

'Only the Supreme Councilor can deal with a true god...'

He understood what his grandfather meant.

Yes, the real core battlefield of this war with the gods has never been in the city of Neustadt, nor in the battle of wits and courage between him and the gods' spies... but only between the Supreme Councilor and the gods.

Whether ordinary people or low-level wizards, to the Supreme Councilors who have lived for at least thousands of years, they are just a bunch of weeds that will grow back in the next year after being burned.

After traveling through the clouds and fog for a moment, Noyce quickly returned to the city of Neustadt.

He was suspended in mid-air, quietly looking at the city in front of him that was shrouded in night.

It seemed that the cold wind had stiffened his face, and the confusion on Noyce's face slowly turned into a stone-like coldness.

He didn't say anything, just exhaled a breath, raised the shield again, and prepared to return to his castle.

At this moment, Noyce's peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the street below. His heart moved and he suddenly flew down.

Uh-huh!

"Lord Noyce?"

A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. Colin was slightly startled and his body tensed subconsciously.

After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, he relaxed slightly from his tense body and said hello quickly, but he was a little confused in his heart.

It was late at night, and he had just been allowed to leave the school and was about to return home... Why did Noyce suddenly appear in front of him at this time?

"Excuse me, sir, why are you looking for me?" Colin continued to ask subconsciously.

Noyce was startled when he heard this and asked casually:

"How are you doing?"

"?" Colin looked stunned.

Noyce also felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Colin carefully, suddenly raised his eyebrows and said:

"Have you advanced to the second level wizard?"

Colin's heart sank slightly, and he didn't know how to answer the question.

The two second-level low-level disguised witchcrafts that broke through the limits of first-level high-level witchcraft can completely hide the second-level wizards in actual experience. The third-level wizards can also hide them as long as they don't specially detect them.

However, the Noyes in front of him... He didn't know what level of wizard Noyes was, but he thought he should be at least a fourth-level wizard.

In front of Noyce, it would be okay if he didn't investigate. If he did, the two second-level disguise witchcrafts still couldn't hide from him.

"Yes." After weighing it for a moment, Colin could only nod.

"It seems that I still underestimated your gains in the Elf Kingdom." Noyce looked at Colin carefully, with light shining in his eyes.

This speed of practice is really amazing!

However, soon, the cold wind hit, and the figure of the Supreme Councilor inexplicably appeared in Noyce's mind, and he suddenly felt that his interest was waning.

"Don't be nervous. Your adventure is your adventure. As long as it is not contaminated by the gods, I won't do anything to you."

Noyce smiled flatly.

‘What about the second level? There has never been a shortage of geniuses among wizards. Historically, there have been amazingly talented people who became second-level wizards within ten years, and they are not alone.

It hasn’t reached the third level yet!

The journey of a wizard becomes more and more difficult the further you go. The accumulation speed of second-level practice is much lower than before. Breaking through the third level is even more difficult than becoming an apprentice to become a formal wizard, not to mention that there are even more difficult ones in the future. Fourth level...'

Noyce looked at Colin who lowered his head, feeling silent in his heart.

‘The mixed-blood wizard in front of me is destined to be unable to reach the top, or in other words, he may not even be able to advance to the third level. ’

Noyce paused and then asked: "Have you joined the True Knowledge Society?"

"joined."

"Yes, the Zhenzhihui is a good place." Noyce said softly, and then asked: "You have joined the Xisheng family now?"

"No." Colin shook his head, "I did not join a faction."

Noyce was stunned for a moment and wanted to tell Colin that if he didn't join the faction, the road ahead would be difficult and muddy.

But when the words came to his lips, Noyce suddenly fell silent again. After a long time, he said slowly:

"It's good. You don't have to be bound by factions."

"Yeah." Colin nodded slightly. He glanced at Noyce and was a little surprised by his reaction.

"By the way, there's one more thing." Noyce finally remembered something serious.

"Although the crimson mark technique has been successfully improved, the Supreme Council finally decided to continue to conceal your identity.

The purpose is to confuse the gods and make them wonder whether there is such a wizard or whether it is a smoke bomb released by us. "

Noyce paused and then added: "At the same time, I also want to protect your safety."

Having said that, Noyce knew that the identity of Colin's heroic wizard would probably never be revealed again.

The Council needed to keep the gods confused, and they also didn't want the honor of improving the Crimson Mark to fall to a mongrel wizard.

In fact, until now, there are still many high-level wizards who still think that the so-called heroic wizard is actually Noyce... They invented a heroic wizard just to confuse the gods.

"I understand." Colin nodded calmly and breathed a sigh of relief.

The so-called heroic wizard is just a false name, which only increases the danger. He wishes he didn't have it.

What's more, although the Elf Kingdom was discovered by oneself, the crimson mark technique was not improved by oneself.

It's hard to avoid feeling a little resentful if you pretend to get this honor.

However, Noyce on the other side looked at his calm face and felt inexplicably guilty.

In his opinion, although Colin's expression was calm, there seemed to be a sense of loss at the loss of honor between his eyebrows.

Unfortunately, this was indeed an order issued by the Supreme Council, and he had no power to change it.

"This is for you." Noyce thought for a while, then suddenly took out the memory crystal he just obtained, engraved his improved crimson marking technique into it and handed it to Colin, "Don't tell anyone else."

Colin reached out and took it.

"Practice hard." Noyce smiled, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

In the dark night, he looked back at the blond boy and sighed silently in his heart:

"The top of the mountains, the place where the cone stands... there are only a few wizards who can reach the top."

………………

time flies.

A week has passed since Colin returned to Neustadt City.

The city was still a little depressed at first, but after a day or two, it recovered to 70% to 80%. To this day, both the architecture and the popularity are no different from the past.

In the second level research room of the True Knowledge Society

Colin stood relaxedly, his eyes focused, and a little red light suddenly appeared in the air in front of him.

As time went by, the red light expanded outward little by little, and the hot breath hit his face.

Then, at a certain moment, the red light in front of him suddenly turned into a humanoid figure burning with flames!

Colin sighed softly and waved his hand to disperse the summoned fire element.

Even though he had reduced the casting speed as much as possible, he still could not figure out the overlap between the five limit-breaking fireball spells and the summoned fire element cast at the same time.

After resting for a moment, Colin exhaled softly and suddenly summoned the Silent Shadow.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Six silent shadows stood silently in front of him. With a thought, Colin summoned the Black Mist Armor.

The light black mist suddenly appeared, completely covering his body in the blink of an eye, and Colin seemed to transform into a dark and ferocious knight.

Two seconds later, Colin dispelled the Black Mist Armor again.

Under his control, the Black Mist Armor began to dissipate bit by bit, starting with the face armor. Starting from the center of the eyebrows, the Black Mist Armor, which was as hard as solid steel, disintegrated into black mist, which disintegrated into the air in the blink of an eye. among.

But Colin knew that just like summoning the Black Mist Armor, most of the black mist actually returned to the Silent Shadow.

About two minutes passed, and the black mist armor on Colin's body had completely disappeared.

He closed his eyes slightly, frowning and thinking carefully.

When he first advanced to the second-level wizard and was able to cast two witchcrafts at the same time, he discovered that the fireball spell had a wonderful overlapping effect when cast simultaneously with the summoned fire element.

This effect not only greatly increases the speed of spell casting, but also reduces the consumption of magic power.

In the combined witchcraft of Black Mist Web, there is also a similar overlapping effect.

Summoning the Black Mist Armor seems to be a separate witchcraft, but in fact it is not the case behind it.

In fact, the witchcraft of the Black Mist Web is the first true combination witchcraft that Colin has come into contact with, and it is probably the only one he has come into contact with.

Strictly speaking, the Temple Ring Binding obtained later can only be a group of witchcraft, not a combination of witchcraft.

Closer to home, when comparing the Black Mist Web witchcraft with simultaneously casting fireball and summoning the fire element——

Colin realized that perhaps the current fireball technique and summoning fire elements were the prototype of a combined witchcraft.

And what he is thinking hard about now is how to continue to deepen them and how to use the power of gold paper to assist.

As his strength increased, Colin clearly realized that in the battles of high-level wizards, as the power of attacks became more powerful, the witchcraft performed was often no longer a single witchcraft.

In other words, after the second level, wizards mostly use combination witchcraft.

The reason is also very simple. In most cases, the power of a combination of more single witchcrafts is greater.

And due to the existence of overlapping effects, most of the time, the temporary magic power required to combine witchcraft is less.

Take the previously summoned Black Mist Armor, its defensive capabilities are comparable to a single witchcraft steel temperature-resistant force field, but the magic power required to summon it is less than one-tenth of the steel temperature-resistant force field.

Of course, Black Mist Armor is a special case.

In addition to the overlapping effect, this is mainly because the Black Mist Armor is the core of the Black Mist Web combination witchcraft.

Most of the magic power it needs to consume has already been paid when transforming the Silent Shadow before the battle.

Therefore, when fighting, naturally less magic power needs to be consumed.

All in all, in recent days, Colin has been trying to unify fireball magic and summoning fire elements into an original combined witchcraft.

Although now he casts the fireball spell and summons the fire element at the same time, it is equivalent to a crude combination witchcraft.

But this is because of the special changes in the soul of an advanced second-level wizard.

If it were any other wizard, he would still be able to cast the fireball spell honestly, and then use the fireball spell as the material to summon the fire element.

Teng!

The flames ignited, and Colin continued to study them while practicing the fireball technique and summoning fire elements.

Somewhere in his mind, he had a feeling that if he could figure out the specific overlapping effects behind the fireball technique and the summoned fire element, he might be able to integrate it with the black mist web witchcraft with the help of gold paper. Get a new powerful sorcery!

Thinking of this, Colin became full of energy again.

After all, after reaching the current second level, as the difficulty of training increases, the gains brought by the training of the Super Brain and the Crown of Lingqi have dropped significantly.

Although it is still lightning fast compared to ordinary wizards, it is still somewhat difficult to repeat the exaggerated speed of successive advancements in just a few months.

If you want to enhance your combat effectiveness, you still have to start with witchcraft!

Time flies by.

At noon, Colin stopped practicing and sat at the experimental table to have lunch.

No one came to disturb his meal, and Shelley hadn't come back yet... and he didn't know how long it would be.

After lunch, Colin did not continue practicing, but came to Copper Rose Street.

Watt Auction House.

The name of this auction house is unremarkable, but it is one of the best auction houses in the city of Neustadt.

Six days ago, he consigned the extremely cold crystal to be auctioned here.

Colin stepped in, and after showing the certificate and the badge of the Xisheng School in his hand, a waiter quickly took him to a private room.

"Sir, please wait here for a moment. The auction will start in about thirty minutes."

"Yeah." Colin nodded, still looking forward to it.

When there was no suitable witchcraft commission to accept, he relied on selling zero-level high-level witchcraft. Without affecting his daily practice, he could earn up to 40,000 to 60,000 magic stones every month.

And that piece of extreme cold crystal can be sold for at least 100,000 magic stones. If there is a suitable buyer, it may be even higher.

Compared to selling the zero-level high-level witchcraft that requires practicing to break the limit, this can be said to be a magic stone picked up for nothing!

Even Colin is thinking that if he is short of magic stones in the future, he might be able to go to places like the Far North and pick up some treasures to sell through Anandu's Dice.

But this is just a thought. Maybe there is really a shortage of magic stones and I can try it when I have time. If this happens every week, that won't work.

After all, the journey to the Far North is far away. It takes at least one day and one night to go back and forth. The cost of the teleportation array cannot be reimbursed... Most of the rare treasures are in dangerous distances. Even if you don't go to the Far North, going to other places is not bad. .

In addition, the most important thing is that no one can be sure what kind of treasures can be obtained through Anandu's Dice...

Time passed quietly under the chaotic thoughts.

The bright crystal above the auction table suddenly lit up, and a wizard in a neat white robe slowly walked to the auction table, picked up the auction hammer and knocked it gently, officially announcing the start of the auction.

"The first auction item, Tears of the Shark Girl, starts at five hundred magic stones, and each increase in price must not be less than ten magic stones..."

Colin looked at the auction items on the stage with great interest. He came here with the attitude of an audience this time, just to gain experience, and had no intention of buying anything.

"The fifty-ninth auction item, the Extremely Cold Crystal, has a starting price of 80,000 magic stones. Each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 magic stones."

Colin sat up slightly, it was finally his turn to use the Extreme Cold Crystal.

"Ninety thousand magic stones!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, he heard the mechanical quotation sound, and it increased by a full 10,000 magic stones!

Colin was delighted. This undoubtedly meant that someone in the room was interested in this extremely cold crystal!

"Ninety-five thousand magic stones."

Extremely cold crystals are very rare, and the price of only 90,000 magic stones can't scare away other wizards.

"Ninety-six thousand magic stones!"

"Ninety-seven thousand magic stones!"

"One hundred thousand magic stones..."

"..."

In this way, after a fierce competition, the final bidding price of the Extreme Cold Crystal was set at 160,000 magic stones.

And this price is a full nine thousand higher than the previous bidding price of 151,000 magic stones!

It was precisely this kind of bidding that finally persuaded the remaining competitors.

Although the bids are all announced with the same mechanical voice, no difference can be heard.

But somehow Colin felt that the buyer who finally spent 160,000 magic stones to buy the Extreme Cold Crystal was probably the wizard who couldn't wait to bid 90,000 at the beginning.

One hundred and sixty thousand magic stones... not bad, a satisfied smile appeared on Colin's face.

But the next second, a strange fragrance suddenly came, interrupting Colin's thoughts. He subconsciously followed this strange but somewhat familiar smell and looked towards the auction table.

In the display box opened there, a white fruit the size of a dragon's eye came into view, making Colin swallow his saliva.

The auctioneer banged the golden auction hammer in his hand and said loudly:

"The sixtieth auction item, Hanxue Tree Fruit, has a starting price of 80,000 magic stones. Each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 magic stones."
