Weird Wizarding World

The dark sky was dotted with sparse morning stars, and the dawn was still sinking below the horizon.

Colin went out early and was already in the Zhenzhihui laboratory.

The changes in Miracle made him couldn't help but increase his time investment in the transformation of ice elements.

From the dark morning to the dark night, most of the time, apart from meditating and sleeping, he was studying the plan to cure the miracle.

He didn't want his past efforts to go to waste, let alone miss the remaining 400,000 magic stones that were at his fingertips.

…

Isido closed the thick black iron door of the basement, opened the double protective witch formation, carefully checked whether the witch formation was normal, and turned around to go out.

Walking out of the door, he looked around warily.

Isido's courtyard is in a remote location, deep in the neighborhood. Outside the door is an alley, not facing the street. There are few people here on weekdays.

However, at this moment, Isido's peripheral vision clearly saw several looming figures wearing ordinary witch robes at the end of the alley.

He straightened his collar and didn't pay much attention.

Isido knew that most of those people had ulterior motives, but he didn't think it was aimed at him.

——This situation has been going on for a long time.

After the lightning-fast Operation Crimson, the nine wizarding cities did not usher in peace as imagined.

Even in the basement, Isidor could still feel the movement of the wizards of the law enforcement team flying through the air from time to time.

The impact of losing a large area of ​​​​the sea has slowly spread to the Wizarding City until today.

The first to feel it were the wandering wizards, who were the first to notice that prices in the city began to rise.

The increase was only a small amount at first, but even so, these small increases immediately put those wizards who could only maintain a balance of expenses into bankruptcy.

Not to mention that the rate of increase continues to rise.

A large number of wizards discovered that seemingly overnight, they suddenly could no longer afford to continue living in Neustadt.

For the helpless wandering wizards, they either have to leave the city of Neustadt, or they have to open up new sources of income to increase their income.

However, after all, only a few wizards can do open source... and even fewer wizards can do it through normal channels...

Isido walked out quickly along the alley, then stopped a public carriage and sped towards Copper Rose Street.

Sitting on the soft cushions was not that comfortable, but he was somewhat accustomed to it. Isido couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He couldn't remember how many years he had not ridden a public carriage.

It seems like after advancing to the first level? Precisely seems to be after the first-level intermediate level?

Issy shook his head... He was now a second-level wizard.

Approaching Copper Rose Street, Isidore thought about it and took out a few ordinary-looking witchcraft tools from the storage ring.

Their energy fluctuations are generally not strong, the highest one is only at the first level, and their styles are the most common on the market.

This is extra income brought to him by some blind thieves.

Putting away these ordinary objects, Isido rubbed his hands and escaped from his chest. A silver necklace, shaped like a swan, with eyes made of black expensive crystals.

While stroking the swan necklace, Isidore's face clearly flashed with a hint of physical pain.

"Uu——!"

The omnibus stopped slowly.

"Sir, Copper Rose Street has arrived."

Isido put away the necklace, opened the door and walked slowly down, finally entering a simple-looking business house.

Half an hour later, Isido walked out of the shopping mall and quickly went to a hidden house in the street next to him.

"Has the goods I asked for arrived?" The disguised Isido walked in and said to the wizard in front of him.

"Here we are." The fat wizard in front of him smiled, turned over his hand and took out an ice ball that exuded cold air.

"Yes." Isidor nodded, passing the magic stone with one hand and preparing to catch the ice ball with the other.

"Wait a moment, Your Excellency." The fat wizard did not take the magic stone. Instead, he retracted the hand holding the hockey puck, paused and said to him: "This time the goods will cost more."

"What do you mean?" Isido frowned.

This fat wizard is a merchant he found who can supply frost materials steadily. Counting this time, this is the third time he has come here to buy frost materials.

The prices were stable the previous two times, but this time...

"You don't know something." The fat wizard sighed and said sadly: "The price of everything is rising, and my purchase is no exception. If I still sell it to you at the original price, then I can only lose money. I hope you understand. .”

Isidor frowned, and after a while he asked in a muffled voice: "How much more should I add?"

The fat wizard smiled and said, "Not much, just ten thousand magic stones."

The room fell silent for a long time before Isido said slowly:

"Can."

By the time Isidore left the hidden hut, the swan necklace in his hand and the magic stones exchanged for ordinary witchcraft tools had all disappeared, replaced by a frost material that could maintain the existence of the miracle for ten days.

‘I don’t know what’s going on with the wood demon. ’ Isido touched his empty neck, his expression silent.

This is the last magic stone he can collect. In other words, this is the last frost material.

The day after tomorrow, the witch formation will need to change its materials.

Including today, there are only twelve days left for the miracle.

Isidore did not ride in the stagecoach again, but put on his hood and flew home low.

On the one hand, it is to save magic stones, and on the other hand, it is also to save time.

After a lot of trouble, it was almost noon, and according to the agreement, this afternoon, the wood demon would come over to communicate the situation as usual.

Isido was only ten centimeters above the ground, floating forward like a ghost.

Although Neustadt City is restricted from air traffic, as long as such a flyby is not hit face-to-face by the law enforcement team, there will generally be no problem.

Of course, few people would do this. Senior wizard apprentices would not dare. Official wizards would not be unable to ride in a carriage. Unless they were in a hurry, they would not adopt such a dishonorable way of traveling.

Feeling the surprised looks from passers-by, Isido felt somewhat upset.

But fortunately, it didn't take long before he turned into a familiar alley.

After walking through several forks in the road, Isido came to the door of his house. He paused for a moment, looked at the figure in front of him and said in surprise:

"Your Excellency Wood Demon?"

He glanced at the time subconsciously, and it was just past ten-thirty, which was still early before their generally agreed meeting time of two o'clock in the afternoon...

Isido was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of a possibility, walked quickly closer and asked eagerly:

"The Wood Demon Lord came so early, could it be that he has already..."

Colin nodded, his expression obscured by the white mask, but a hint of smile could be heard in the mechanical voice:

"Yes, as you thought, Lord Isidor, I have successfully completed the commission."

Isidor's eyes suddenly lit up, and surprises kept pouring out. His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said heavily: "Great!"

Isido took a few deep breaths, opened the door, and said to Colin:

"Let's go, Mr. Wood Demon, let's go in and talk in detail."

The two of them came to the basement together.

Colin looked at the icicle next to him and said: "Your Excellency Isidor, I will demonstrate it on ordinary ice elements first, and then transform the miracle."

"Transformation?" Isidor waved his hand, "Your Excellency Wood Demon, you only need to demonstrate it on the ice element and teach me. As for the transformation of the miracle, I will complete it myself."

Colin was slightly startled, "Are you sure, Lord Isidor? It will take at least half a month to master the transformation. Even if you just master the basics, I'm afraid it will take a week..."

"I've decided." Isidor just waved his hand again.

Seeing this, Colin could only look at the miracle not far away with regret and nodded.

"Okay, Lord Isidor...if you insist."

Some regrets, but that's all.

For Colin, whether he can access the miracle is only secondary. The important thing is to get the remaining 400,000 magic stones.

As for whether Isidore can save Miracle, that's not something he can control.

Colin waved his hand to summon an ice elemental and began to demonstrate and explain.

The plan he finally adopted was based on the original core of the ice element, rather than combining the life cycle core with it, which was equivalent to upgrading the original one.

Such a solution is more difficult than simply combining the two cores. However, because the upgrade based on the original core has not significantly changed the structure of the original ice element core, the final result will be more stable and the possible adverse effects will be smaller.

Colin spoke attentively, and Isido listened attentively.

However, what they didn't notice was that the miracle that was originally facing them slightly in the icicles behind them turned into facing them directly...
