Weird Wizarding World

  Chapter 393 Good luck to you

  It was early morning when we returned to Golden Wheat, the morning was bright and the birds were singing and insects were singing.

  The capital of the Kingdom of Loen was as peaceful as ever, which relieved Colin's fatigue for the time being.

  While passing by the commercial street next to the Gusui block, he happened to meet Wilbur.

   "Your Excellency Colin, you are back." Wilbur raised his brows slightly and greeted with a smile.

   "Yes, I'm going to look for you." Colin smiled, "Please help me cover up this half a month."

   I didn't expect to meet Wilbur on the road, so I didn't need to tell him that I was back.

   "You're welcome, I actually didn't do anything." Wilbur said cheerfully, "By the way, there is a party tonight, do you want to come?"

   "No, I'm tired from the journey, and I want to have a good rest tonight." Colin shook his head and declined.

   "Yes." Wilbur didn't force it.

  For more than a year, they also knew the temperament of the Jin Yu in front of them, and they were all used to it.

  Except for the first few gatherings, the Golden Feather in front of you will only be present every time Wizard Erwin is present.

  Because of this, some wizards even satirized Colin secretly, saying that he is indeed a golden feather, and inviting him to the party is as difficult as inviting a second-level wizard Erwin!

   But these are just rumors behind the scenes, no fool will talk about it on the surface, and erect an enemy in vain.

  Welbur didn't participate in the discussion, and didn't intend to tell Colin about it, so he just pretended not to know, and kept a friendly attitude towards Colin as before.

  No matter when, it is better to make a friend than to make an enemy.

  Thinking of this, Wilbur suddenly thought of the news he had heard recently, paused and asked curiously:

   "Does Your Excellency Colin know about the recent affairs of the Chasay Chamber of Commerce?"

   "Chasay Chamber of Commerce...what's wrong?" Colin asked with a frown.

   "The current situation of the Chasai Chamber of Commerce is not good. Many chambers of commerce that existed before in the Loen Kingdom are uniting to fight against it." Wilbur said.

   There is not much relationship between the Chamber of Commerce of the Loen Kingdom and the resident wizards of their schools. News like this is just a chat between them after dinner, and sometimes it is not even worthy of being a topic.

  However, Wilbur knew that the witch steward of the Chasay Chamber of Commerce seemed to have a lot to do with Colin, so he happened to meet Colin right now, so he mentioned it by the way.

   "...I see." Colin nodded calmly.

  It seems that Shelley was so busy half a month ago, and he was probably dealing with this matter.

  Back to Gusui Block, Colin didn't go home immediately, but came to Shelley's residence next door and rang the doorbell.

  Qingyue's bell rang faintly from the depths of the house, and not long after, a maid came and opened the villa courtyard door.

   "Good morning, Your Excellency Colin." The maid knew him and greeted him respectfully.

   "Good morning, is Your Excellency Deloitte at home?"

   "Sorry, Your Excellency Colin, the master is not at home." The maid shook her head.

  Are you not at home... Colin was not too surprised, nodded slightly, and walked back to his home.

  He didn't want to help Shelley, but as an old friend, he came to visit after returning to the city.

   After all, basically every evening for this year, they would gather together to exchange knowledge and chat, and they were already very good friends.

   Instead of trying to find Shelley at the Chasai Chamber of Commerce, Colin went to the South Three Towers to show his face, and then returned home to rest.

  In the evening, Renee cooked him a large table of sumptuous meals, which he hadn't eaten for a long time, and this dinner was extraordinarily delicious.

   It's a pity that Shelley still hasn't been seen.

   Didn't give himself too much time to rest. The next day, Colin regained his energy and came to the wizard's tower.

  In addition to conducting research on the Giant Mountain Breathing Method, he also planned to investigate several terms that appeared in his notes, such as "Silver Stream Breathing Method", "Cumberland", "Glenn" and the like.

  As for the wizard named Cumberland, since he was active in the Kingdom of Loen during his lifetime, he might be able to find some related records in Golden Wheat.

  In the wizard tower area of ​​Golden Wheatshoe, there are many buildings with different functions besides the wizard tower used for guarding.

  The Literature Tower is one of them.

  The main records here are some books and materials collected by the Loen royal family and the resident wizards.

It is mainly historical records, some investigation reports on places such as the Catacombs and the Lightless Forest, and past mission files—these resident wizards will not only deal with possible demon tides, but also assist in solving some problems that occurred in the Loen Kingdom. extraordinary case.

  Historical materials are Colin's top priority search information, and Cumberland is his top priority search keyword.

  The wizard who wrote down the research notes, inferred from the text, should be a second-order wizard.

   And a second-order wizard, obviously, will not be an unknown person!

  Just half an hour later, Colin frowned and stopped turning the pages.

  He expected that he should be able to find some information about Cumberland in the Loen Kingdom, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth!

  Moving his finger to the middle of the page, Colin moved his lips and read silently:

   "In the 3167th year of the Yanan calendar, the Cumberland wizard developed a potion, which successfully saved the wheat fields that were parasitized by the magic locusts that year. A food disaster that was about to occur in the Loen Kingdom was successfully eliminated for the most part..."

   "Cumberland..."

   This is a miscellaneous historical material about the major disasters of the Loen Kingdom over the years, but in Colin's view, it is more like a record book of the great achievements of the wizards of the Loen royal family.

   The disasters recorded above were finally resolved, and the solution was either directly by the members of the Loen royal family, or indirectly with the help of the members of the Loen royal family...

  The authenticity of the historical records obviously needs to be investigated, but this is not the focus of Colin’s attention—

   "Then Cumberland, turned out to be the wizard of the Loen royal family?"

  He continued to look down.

   Sure enough, within a few lines, there was a line of characters that proved the conjecture.

   "After solving the food disaster, the Cumberland wizard, on behalf of the Loen royal family, went to Into, Ria, Snain and other cities to condolence the victims and send relief supplies..."

  Cumberland is indeed the wizard of the Loen royal family!

  Colin felt slightly excited.

  This discovery undoubtedly means that he can obtain more information related to Cumberland in the Loen Kingdom more easily!

  Maybe...you can use this to find the nameless breathing method!

  With anticipation, Colin then went through the information about Cumberland in the entire Wizard Tower.

  The impression of the wizard Cumberland in his mind is becoming clearer—

Cumberland Ruen, who was gifted with extraordinary talent since he was a child, became a second-level wizard before he was a hundred years old. Since then, he has been obsessed with other things, such as making potions, making witch tools, even witch arrays, and carving runes. These things cost him a lot. A lot of time.

It’s just that it’s nothing like this, but unfortunately, he seems to have suffered a serious injury during a certain research, and the root cause of the disease still fell after the treatment, and he often went crazy, and he couldn’t even maintain the dignity of a second-level wizard. The spring of 3233 quietly disappeared.

   "The spring of 3233 in the Yanaman calendar..." Colin silently wrote down the date.

   Put away the books in your hands, the orange light of the setting sun slanted in through the narrow square window, and before you knew it, it was evening.

  Colin couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

  The narration on the note No. 2 has clear logic and neat handwriting, and it is not at all obvious that it was written by a wizard who has gone mad.

  Cumberland's experience is really a pity... No matter how talented you are, you can't waste time.

   Colin secretly warned himself.

  If Cumberland concentrates on cultivation, he will at least be a third-tier wizard with a lifespan of up to 800 years. By then, the years will be longer and his strength will be stronger, so maybe he will not fall to such a point.

   Got up and left the Documentation Tower, Colin returned home, but did not expect to welcome an unexpected guest.

  In the evening, the orange sunlight penetrates the glass window and shines into the living room, casting a layer of soft light on the snow-haired girl with her eyes closed and meditating on the sofa, as if there is only a beautiful doll in fantasy.

   "Good evening, Shelley." Colin greeted, feeling a little pleasantly surprised.

   "Good evening." Shelley slightly opened his eyes, with a rare tired look on his face.

  Collington paused for a moment, and finally asked:

   "Did something happen recently? I heard that the Chasai Chamber of Commerce is being targeted by other local chambers of commerce in the Loen Kingdom... If you don't mind, you can tell me, maybe I can help."

  Shelley was slightly taken aback. She looked at Colin, and the corners of her mouth seemed to twitch undetectably.

   "Those local chambers of commerce are not worth mentioning." After pondering for a moment, she stroked the hair beside her ears and said, "The Chasai chamber of commerce is currently facing difficulties in sales."

   "Do you know why we established the Chasay Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Loen?"

   Colin shook his head.

His curiosity is not serious at all. He has been in the Kingdom of Loen for more than a year, and he has never taken the initiative to inquire about the Chasai Chamber of Commerce. For Shelley, or the truth behind her will come to the specific purpose of Loen. I really don't know.

  Shelley didn't show off either. After waving his hand to bless them with shielding witchcraft, he said directly:

   “We are here to transform agriculture.”

   "The Kingdom of Loen is a big grain-producing country, but a large number of serfs still die of starvation every year. Apart from the problem of distribution, this is also because the current grain production in the wheat field is not enough.

  We hope to increase the grain production in the fields and prevent serfs from starving to death. "

   “This is a vital step on the path toward the goal of truth enriching ordinary people and enriching the world.”

  Colin nodded slightly, did not ask Shelley the details of the plan, did not question whether it would be useful, but continued to ask: "So what is the problem now?"

   "The agricultural tools we developed are obviously better and less labor-intensive, but they are not recognized by those nobles. They are not willing to spend money for the lowly serfs in their eyes." Shelley sighed softly.

  Colin was silent, he was a privileged class in this world—wizards.

   I have experienced a lot of intrigue among wizards, but I really don't know much about the people at the bottom of this world.

  However, as an ordinary person in his previous life, he was no stranger to the situation of those serfs.

  Although they have never been serious about farming, they are all genuine farmers going back three generations.

   What's more, in his generation, working for capitalists in the city is actually not fundamentally different from being a serf.

   Thanks to the progress of the times, there have been some improvements in all aspects.

"In fact, we tried to give away a batch of new agricultural tools for free last year, just to make a name for ourselves." Shelley added, "One year has passed, and the improvement it has brought to the field is indeed obvious to all, at least half The area under cultivation has even doubled in some cases.”

   "It's a pity that those nobles and serf owners were at most just amazed. When it was mentioned that they would need to spend money to replace farm tools, they immediately shook their heads and refused."

   "But in fact, our pricing is already at a loss. If it goes down further, the normal production of farm tools will not be possible, let alone the normal operation of the chamber of commerce."

Shelley sighed deeply, and finally said with some sarcasm: "None of the nobles in the Kingdom of Loen who are responsible for planting wheat fields are really interested in planting. What they prefer to do is to socialize and train wizards. I hope that one day the family can go one step further.

  Improving the farming efficiency of serfs, farming more... These will not bring them the honor and status they want. "

  Colin pressed his brows, but also felt a little headache.

  Shelley was not surprised to see his distressed appearance. She didn't expect Colin to give any useful advice, but simply poured out the bitterness in her heart.

   "Maybe, you can try to further reduce the cost of farm tool manufacturing, and at the same time temporarily purchase wheat to create demand."

  "When the nobles realized that the price they paid was negligible but they could reap enough benefits, they would naturally take the initiative to replace the farm tools for the serfs."

   After careful consideration, Colin gave a suggestion.

   Shelley was slightly startled, looked up at Colin, and seriously considered the feasibility of the suggestion.

   "As for how to reduce the cost of farm tool manufacturing, I once saw a design called 'automated assembly line' in a book..."

   Before Shelley could think clearly, Colin continued.

  The latter nodded frequently after hearing these ingenious ideas that had never been heard before, and the light blue eyes were shining brightly.

   "Thank you, Colin."

   It wasn't until night fell that the communication between the two finally came to an end.

   Shelley sincerely thanked.

  She didn't expect that she just came here to see an old friend, but she gained a lot by accident!

   "You're welcome, we're all friends."

  Shelley nodded lightly, and without being too polite, he just said:

   "If you need any help from me or the Chasai Chamber of Commerce, just ask."

   "Yes." Colin nodded, then seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled again: "Speaking of it, there is indeed one thing that may need to trouble you."

   "I want the Chase Chamber of Commerce to help me investigate Cumberland, Silver Stream Breathing, and Glenn."

   "Cumberland is a wizard of the royal family of Loen. The special silver blood can be cultivated by the silver flow breathing method. As for that Glenn, he is a slave and an intermediate knight."

  If he can get the rest of Cumberland's research notes, or the nameless breathing method, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to his current research.

   "Okay." Shelley nodded earnestly, and wrote down the information Colin said.

   "It's getting late, do you want to stay for dinner?"

   "No." Shelley shook her head. Colin's suggestion inspired her a lot, and she couldn't wait to implement it!

  Colin nodded, and didn't hold back anymore, just paused and said:

   "Good luck."

   "Yes." Shelley nodded slightly, looked at Colin and said, "I wish you well too."

  Colin sent Shelley to the door, watching her figure gradually go away and disappear into the darkness.

  He has always admired the philosophy of the True Knowledge Society.

  No matter what world you are in, no matter what situation you are in, people or organizations like this who are dedicated to fighting for the bottom people are worthy of admiration.

  Although he is not optimistic about the actions of the Truth Society intellectually, it does not prevent Colin from admiring them emotionally.

  Colin turned and walked towards the house, and when he stepped on the garden path, he suddenly thought:

  ‘If one day I can climb the highest peak, what will I do at that time? '

  There is no moon tonight, and the garden under the night is extraordinarily dark and quiet.

  In the past year, he and Shelley walked in such a dark garden more than once.

   Their chats have long been more than knowledge.

  But since he explicitly rejected the request of the Truth Society in the extreme north, Shelley has never mentioned the Truth Society to him until today.

  A gentle night wind blows, rustling the vegetation in the garden.

  Colin shook his head and continued to walk.

  What he wants to do at the peak, he has never thought about it, because he has not yet reached the peak.

  But if there is such a day, maybe it will make the world a better place, and it would be nice.

  Time passed quietly.

  Shelley's efficiency was faster than Colin imagined, and within a few days, a very detailed investigation report was sent.

  And this report not only includes Cumberland's life, the complete silver-flow breathing method, but also the life of Glenn, and his creation-the nameless breathing method!
