Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 288 Trivia (4.8k)

   Colin frowned when he heard Okasey's impolite question.

   patiently explained in a deep voice:

   "I didn't flee, but obeyed the command and participated in the battle completely, but later..."

   "Your companions at the time were Meier of the Magic Ring, Sowerk of the Silver Ring, and... Margaret of the Istar School.

   Can you explain why all three of them died on the battlefield? But you are the only one missing, and since then, have you returned to the Siya continent unscathed? "

  Okashy stared at Colin, her tone aggressive.

   "Lord Okasey, what do you mean?"

   was interrupted before he finished speaking. Colin was a little unhappy and said coldly.

  Okashy helped her glasses, her face became cold, and she said solemnly:

   "You are only a first-order junior wizard, and you have just advanced. You were the weakest among the four of you at that time!"

   "But you, the weakest, is the only one who survived?"

   "How can you make me not doubt you?" Okashy continued with a hint of disdain at the corner of her mouth:

   "I know that you wizards were originally tasked with participating in the Athos Society. At that time, they were temporarily recruited to participate in the war on Gupier Island. You must be reluctant...

   In fact, it is true, there are a few wizards like you who have not participated in the battle. "

   "I didn't..." Colin's lips moved slightly, but he was interrupted by Okashy.

   "My time is precious, admit the truth, Leonard." Okashy picked up the crystal on the table and said lightly,

   "This is not a big deal, and the school will not have too severe punishment. At most, you need to do some harmless punishment tasks."

   The more impatient in his heart, the more restrained the emotions on Colin's face, and became calmer, he questioned in a deep voice.

   "I've never done it, why admit it?"

  “…”

   Seeing Colin's appearance, Okashy put down the crystal and calmly said with some doubts:

   "Then can you explain to me where you went during the period of disappearance?"

  In the beginning, she didn't want to waste time listening to Colin's explanation.

   After all, although there are not many wizards like Colin, in every war, as long as the supervision of the war is not strict enough, there will always be such a group.

  Colin, is already the third person she has encountered in this period of time-all wizards who disappeared and suddenly returned to the school intact.

   And the first two have resolutely confessed their faults, they are deserters with various reasons.

   So, she preconceived that Colin was the same.

   However, looking at Colin's appearance, it seems that there is still a hidden meaning.

   Colin's face was grim, he didn't want to explain too much, but he had to say it now.

   After all, whether it was Margaret, Meier, or even Sowerk, Morin...they all died on the battlefield.

   It's really hard to prove his innocence for a while.

   He exhaled a turbid breath and began to speak slowly:

   "In the red earth forest of Gupier Island, I fell into a different space because of an accident..."

   "Another dimension... Is there another dimension in Gupier Island?"

  Okashy frowned and began to doubt what Colin said.

   But this time, she finally did not interrupt Colin's story, but continued to listen patiently.

   "After I fell into another dimension, I also appeared in a forest, but the forests were polluted..."

  Okashy's brows furrowed even tighter.

   On the other side, he seemed to notice that what he said was a little procrastinated, and Clinton explained briefly:

   "Afterwards, I discovered that the alien space is the legendary kingdom of elves, and that forest is the territory of the tree elves in the kingdom of elves."

   After Colin finished speaking, he thought Okasey would be surprised, but he didn't expect Okasey to have a bigger reaction.

   I saw her face suddenly darken, and asked in a cold voice:

   "You mean, you strayed into the legendary kingdom of elves?"

   Colin nodded calmly.

  Okashy looked at him and felt more and more that she was fooling herself.

   Then he laughed angrily and said, "Why don't you say that you are still the hero wizard who passed the key information of the elves' betrayal to Senator Noyce during the battle on the Seven Islands in the South?"

  Clinton paused for a moment, stunned.

   He looked at Okashy in front of him and nodded again.

  The atmosphere in the office suddenly became quiet.

   Okasey stared at Colin.

   She even felt a little funny in her heart, Colin Leonard... Is he serious?

  How dare he say such nonsense? !

   Feeling Okasey's gaze, the original anger in Colin's heart gradually dissipated, leaving only helplessness.

   He frowned and thought about how to prove the truth of his words.

   But soon, he realized it was a dead end.

  Only based on his own words, without the corroboration of others, without substantive evidence, even if he tells it carefully, it is difficult to prove the truth of what he said.

   "Okashy, have you encountered any trouble?"

   But at this moment, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and an older wizard asked in a slow voice.

   The wizard who came in had gray hair and round-rimmed glasses like Okashy, but it was matte metallic silver.

   Taking a closer look, you can see that the glasses on the wizard's face are actually firmly connected to the ears.

  ‘A second-order wizard who has undergone mechanical transformation. ’

   Colin speculated while watching the marks of mechanical transformation revealed on the exposed skin of the older wizard.

   "It's nothing, Lord Jonah." Okasey respectfully said to the visitor.

   "Well, I remember a wizard came to update the information today, right?"

   Jonah's tone was gentle, just like an ordinary kind old man.

   He looked at Colin and said kindly: "This should be the wizard who updated the information, right?

  Well, is it because of some reason, advanced, or there is a missing record before, which needs to be updated..."

   "Because of the missing records, the missing records on the battlefield."

  Okashy helped her glasses and explained calmly:

   "Colin Leonard, a first-order junior wizard, disappeared during the battle on Gupier Island. No body or belongings were found.

   Then yesterday, he returned to the Xisheng School, and today, he came to Heibao to receive inquiries and update information. "

   "That's it." Jonah nodded, vaguely guessing what was going on.

   "First-rank intermediate." However, Colin on the side suddenly said.

  Okassy and Jonah turned their heads and cast their eyes, looking a little puzzled.

   "I mean, my wizard level is already a first-level intermediate." Colin calmly pointed out Okasey's mistake.

   "This is impossible! Two months ago, you were only a first-order wizard..."

  Okassy of course didn't believe it at first, but as she spoke, her tone gradually weakened.

   The rank of wizards... If you lie, you can break it down in a moment.

   Colin in front of him was full of lies, but he didn't look so stupid...

   On the other hand, Jonah looked calm at first, but after hearing what Okassi said two months later, his face suddenly became serious.

   On the lenses of his silver round spectacles, white rays of light flashed quickly.

   The next second, he stared at Colin and asked slowly:

   "You really just advanced to a first-order wizard two months ago?"

   "No false words." Colin's tone was calm and his face calm.

   He has no intention of revealing his genius identity... After all, whether others know it or not has nothing to do with his own strength.

   But as long as it is not beyond the common sense, he has no intention to hide his genius identity.

After   , Jonah on the side heard it, his face suddenly became more kind, and he said with a smile:

   "Since you have advanced, then the badge will be updated along with it... Okasey." He turned to look at the shocked witch, "Let's congratulate the Xisheng School for another talented wizard!"

  Okashi came back to her senses, her face was reluctant, she said to Jonah a little impatiently:

   "Master Jonah, who vanished during the Gupierre Island War, and now suddenly reappears intact.

   Such a strange situation, it is obvious that either the deserter or there are other problems! "

   Jonah's expression turned solemn, and he corrected Ocassie:

   "Okassy, ​​in the Black Castle, call me Lord Jonah, or Lord Jonah."

   "However, the war on Gupier Island.

   I remember that a while ago, the wizard named Margaret of the Ista School, when the news of her death came, the family behind her was very angry and caused a lot of trouble. "

   "I didn't expect Wizard Colin to participate in that battle..."

   After he finished speaking, he looked at Colin again, and there was an inquiring look.

   "I am not a deserter. As for why I disappeared, I have already explained to this Lord Okasey."

   Colin said solemnly, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

   Now the frontline war situation is so tense!

   No matter whether Senator Noyce was seriously injured or not, and no matter where the two wizards who were guarding the crystal for help were known...

   I'm afraid I didn't have the time to deliberately pass the news that I was the wizard to the rear.

   So there is no evidence on his body, and no one else can prove it, it is too difficult for Colin to prove that what he said is true at this time.

   As for Margaret.

   After he came out of the elf kingdom, he threw everything about Margaret in the sea that was controlled by the gods.

   Only the magic stones that are unlikely to have hidden dangers are left,

   In fact, even if it is a magic stone, he basically intends to use it on the breakthrough point of gold paper transformation, and there is no need to worry about showing traces.

   However, as the only surviving member of the squad at that time, he was still a little sensitive in his identity...

  Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help sighing.

   If at this time, he can prove to be a wizard who conveys the news of the rebellion of the elves, with such a halo, he should not need to worry about the family behind Margaret.

   After all, he could only count as an assist at the time, and the real murderer who killed Margaret was the alienated Meier.

   Jonah heard the words and turned his eyes to Okashy again.

  Okay's attitude was not so good, she seemed "calm" and said:

   "This Lord Colin is the hero who delivered the news that the elves were traitors to Senator Noyce!

   He said that he accidentally fell into a different space on Gupier Island, and that different space is still the legendary kingdom of elves..."

   Having said this, Occasie paused and sighed:

   "Who would have thought that the one who almost thwarted the conspiracy of the gods was just a small first-order junior... No, a first-order intermediate wizard!"

   Among the many rumors, the level of strength of the heroic wizard is the most popular topic. From wizard apprentices to fourth-level wizards, and even the legendary fifth-level wizards, there are speculations.

   Of course, what convinces most people the most is the speculation about the strength of the third-order wizard.

  First order...it's too low.

   However, when Jonah heard the words, his expression did not change at all. He paused and said in a deep voice:

   "Okassy, ​​I've always taught you—

  In the absence of the slightest evidence, you can't just rely on your own guesses and judgments! "

   "Did you forget?!"

   "Okay...Tutor, I didn't forget."

  Okashy's expression froze, and under Jonah's stern gaze, she stroked her glasses and replied reluctantly.

   Jonah nodded slightly, then moved his gaze to Colin, and said slowly:

   "I believe what you say, Wizard Colin."

   "It's just that the Noyce Senators are busy with the front-line war at this time, and it is obviously inconvenient for them to go to summon and disturb them for this trivial matter."

   "So, I think it's better to skip it for now! Let Okashy replace you with a new school badge first."

   Looking at Jonah's flawless sincere expression, Colin sighed in his heart, but nodded his head in approval and said softly:

   "Thank you, Your Excellency Jonah."

   He knew that although Jonah said so, most of them had the same attitude as Okasey about his words.

   is not the case, and the disbelief ingredient also occupies the majority.

   "But, that's it..."

  Colin thought again:

   "It's okay to be misunderstood. Since no one believes that I entered the elf kingdom on Gupier Island, they all think that I ran away after the battle started."

   "Then the family behind Margaret will be less suspicious of themselves accordingly."

   Colin's depressed mood was relieved, he was not a person who was keen on fame.

   As long as there is no real punishment, it does not matter.

   Anyway, when Senator Noyce is free, or when he becomes stronger, all misunderstandings will eventually be washed away!

   Next.

   At Jonah's orders.

  Okassy didn't say more, silently and quickly updated the information for him, and issued a new school badge.

   seems to be unwilling to argue any more…

  Colin was naturally happy with this, he got the new school badge and turned his head away without any reluctance.

   walked out of the office in two steps, but Jonah followed and continued the conversation.

  Colin is not good at not giving face to Wizard Jonah.

   This is not only because of his identity as a second-order wizard, but also because he came forward to round up the field just now, otherwise he doesn't know when he will waste time.

   "Wizard Colin, how is your mentor Atbold doing?" Jonah asked calmly.

   When Okashy was updating information for Colin, he learned that the mentor of the genius wizard in front of him was the "famous" Artbold.

   "...Not optimistic." Clinton replied after a pause.

   Instructor's physical condition has recovered to some extent... Until I advance to the second level, I should keep it a secret for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

   "Then do you have any idea of ​​joining another faction?" Jonah got straight to the point and continued to ask, he paused and added:

   "The leader of my faction is the third-order wizard Godwin. With your talent, you will definitely get the best treatment!"

   When he updated the information just now, he not only knew that Colin's mentor was Atbold.

   also knew the wizard in front of him, and it has not been a year since he joined the school! And at that time, he was only a small senior apprentice!

   It is not surprising that a senior apprentice can advance to a first-order wizard in less than half a year.

   After all, no one knows how many years Colin had been practicing before joining the school.

   But combined with what we learned this time, it has been raised a small level in two months...

   Jonah can already conclude that the Colin in front of him must be a genius who is not inferior to the wizard seeds that the school focuses on training!

   If you can recruit such a genius to your faction, there will be many benefits!

   And even if you can't, it's very good to have a good relationship.

   "Not yet, thank you, Your Excellency Jonah." Colin declined.

   Next, Jonah tried to persuade him without giving up.

   In the end, seeing that Colin’s attitude was always firm, he gave up trying.

   just said the last thing to Colin as he left:

   "If after a while... well, you have the idea of ​​changing factions, you can contact me at any time.

  I promise the Godwin wizard will give you the best treatment! "

   Colin agreed and walked out of the Black Fort.

   He understood that Jonah's so-called over time, most likely after Atebold's death...

   pat.

  Standing at the entrance of Black Castle, Colin took out his pocket watch.

  It was noon before I knew it, and the sun was shining down.

   Colin sighed, feeling a little depressed:

   "Troubled with chores... Time wasted like that."

   He took a step forward and thought again.

   "This may be the price of joining the school... However, now that the information has been updated, there should be no more trouble..."

  Colin shook his head. The only thing he was worried about now was what Jonah just mentioned—the family behind Margaret.

  Thinking of this, his pace quickened a bit.

  'I still have to hurry up and advance to the second level. If there is any accident, at least I can have more self-protection ability...'

   However, when he left the school and crossed several intersections along the street, he was about to reach home.

   However, he saw a somewhat familiar figure standing at the black fence gate of his house from a distance.

   'The apprentice who yelled at Renee to move out yesterday...what is he doing? ’

   The two sword eyebrows on Colin's face were about to meet, and he sighed in his heart:

   "There won't be any trouble again..."

   He stepped closer.
