Weird Wizarding World

The high sun emits warm light.

It was already afternoon.

After lunch, Colin took a carriage and rushed towards the seaside east of the city.

Now, it's almost there.

The salty sea breeze passes through the round window of the carriage and blows the curtains, bringing a touch of coolness inside.

Colin lifted the curtain and looked into the distance.

A touching sparkling blue is the first thing that catches the eye.

This is the docking port of the entire island. It is crescent-shaped as a whole. On top of it, several wooden piers of different lengths extend from the golden beach.

On the sea level at the end of the pier, white seabirds are circling regularly and chirping from time to time.

The sun casts bright spots on the azure sea level. As the sun sets and dusk, and the sun rises brilliantly, these bright spots will become more conspicuous, like bright gold foil on sapphires.

The carriage stopped at the beach and Colin got out.

At this time, a lot of people have gathered here, most of them are wizards, and the remaining small number are also their followers.

This group of people seems to be gathered together, but in fact they are distinct and divided into different circles.

It was easy for Colin to find the circle that belonged to the school and the inspection department.

In order to avoid appearing too out of the ordinary, he entered the circle of academic circles.

"Colin, are you here too?"

As soon as he approached, someone said hello to him.

Looking around, it was Luke, who was standing with several wizards from the patrol office.

"Yes, after all, this is the first time we can actually welcome the caravan, so come earlier." Colin replied.

The caravan will pass through Blackstone Island about once every six months.

But before, perhaps because of lack of money, or perhaps because of the pride that came from nowhere, the original owner had never really come into contact with the caravan, and only looked at it from a distance every time.

"The school's logistics people are also here. According to them, the caravan will arrive here at about 4 p.m." Luke continued to reveal to Colin.

This time is known from the tokens left by the caravan.

‘Is it four o’clock? ’ Colin nodded.

It's already past three o'clock, and it seems we can't wait too long.

Call!

At this moment, a beige carriage suddenly arrived.

Just by looking at the familiar maroon horse and the beige gilded carriage, Colin knew who was coming.

Regina stepped out of the carriage.

His face was not as gentle as before, slightly indifferent, and his face was also inexplicably pale. The black cat named Maggie, who was always with her, was nowhere to be seen...

"Lady Regina." Luke on the side took the first step forward and greeted respectfully.

It was also at this time that Colin saw a triangular badge pinned to the chest of Regina's black witch robe...it was brilliant gold.

"Lady Regina." Under the leadership of Luke, the crowd gathered in the school bowed their heads and greeted respectfully.

Colin naturally followed the crowd and greeted them together.

Regina looked cold and didn't respond at all.

‘There must be something wrong with the advancement... Even Maggie is missing. ’ Colin looked at her slightly pale face and couldn’t help but guess.

Advancement to senior apprentice means that the mental fog has been completely lifted. The dirty words floating in the world will have direct contact with the spirit, distort knowledge, and bring various costs.

Only by maintaining humanity and a thorough understanding of knowledge can these costs be mitigated or even eliminated.

Therefore, advancing to an advanced apprenticeship does not mean simply accumulating enough magic power to advance. You also usually need to make sure you understand the meditation method well enough!

But for ordinary wizards, it is difficult to quantify the degree of knowledge they have, and it is difficult to ensure that they have a thorough understanding of all aspects of knowledge.

Just like you can cook, but it is difficult for you to accurately measure whether you know everything about cooking, and it is even harder to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of all aspects of cooking.

This is why the later you get, the less emphasis is placed on the magic affinity qualifications of wizards, and why wizards from schools are said to have better talents than wild wizards!

The talent of a wizard has never been simply the affinity for magic energy. This is only half of it. The other half of the wizard's talent is always the ability to learn knowledge!

‘Speaking of which, the progress of the circle meditation method has reached 81/100. Maybe it will be broken again soon... By then, I will not be far from the realm of a high-level wizard. ’ Colin’s eyes flickered.

'Unlike other people, I have gold paper and can intuitively recognize the progress of current knowledge mastery, whether I have fully mastered it, and whether I have reached the limit...'

‘In this case, maybe I can follow the tips of the gold paper and choose to break through when the meditation method reaches its limit, that is, when I have a complete understanding of it... This may be able to avoid the price! ’

Thinking of this, Colin suddenly thought, '...what should I pay attention to when advancing to become a formal wizard? ’

He tried hard to search for memories, but there was no memory of this aspect in his mind.

‘The teachers of the school have not taught relevant knowledge...perhaps because they are only senior wizard apprentices? ’

Although he is still far away from becoming a formal wizard, there are always too many things to prepare for a rainy day.

It stands to reason that as a member of the school, he should go to a peak apprentice like Berkeley or even go directly to the Lapp wizard to obtain relevant knowledge.

But his improvement speed is too fast, and it is not appropriate to leave the school so early.

The wizards in this world are not seekers who only pursue the truth.

Here, the first rule that wizards learn is - don't pursue knowledge excessively!

There is only one principle that can be paralleled - stay human!

In this world, what most wizards pursue is only strength and longevity...or, like him, seeking peace of mind and the power to control their own destiny!

'But according to your own progress, you may need this knowledge in less than a few years... But you can break through from a junior to a formal wizard in a few years...' Colin sighed silently in his heart,

He raised his head, looked at the vast sea, and squinted his eyes slightly,

'Perhaps this knowledge can be found in the caravan...'

Time passed slowly, and with the arrival of Regina, many senior wizard apprentices from the school also arrived one after another.

Another moment passed.

In the sea area on the right, more than a dozen black spots gradually appeared, and the shadows of more than a dozen gray-black ships could be vaguely distinguished.

Not long after, as if in the blink of an eye, those gray-black boat silhouettes came closer.

It was at this time that Colin was shocked to see the size of these ships.

The ships were an entire fleet, consisting of the three largest main ships and twelve slightly smaller ships.

According to visual inspection, the largest main ship is at least twenty to thirty meters wide and more than one hundred meters long! Other slightly smaller ships are also more than ten meters wide and sixty or seventy meters long!

And it looks like it should be an iron-clad ship that combines witchcraft and steam, not a wooden ship!

Although it is not as good as the ocean-going cargo ships that were several hundred meters long in the previous life, when these behemoths appear in front of you, you will still be a little intimidated.

Woo——!

The huge ship's whistle roars!

The sound was long and loud, covering up the small chatter of the wizards, and also firmly attracted their eyes.

Looking at the fleet gradually stopping,

For some reason, Colin suddenly felt a sense of expectation in his heart...
