Weird Wizarding World

  The sky is blue and clear, and the white clouds are floating leisurely, like a white sailboat on the vast sea.

  The sun is just right and the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold. This is the most comfortable time in spring. The atmosphere in Loen Kingdom was completely opposite, it was extremely dull.

Most of the people didn't know what happened, but the invisible tension still spread from the explosion that night, from the faces of the nobles and the wizards flying in the sky from time to time, quietly spreading to every place in the kingdom, shrouded like a tulle in everyone's heart.

  ‘But with time, things will return to normal. '

  In the air, Colin silently watched the streets that were not as lively as before.

   "I don't know how long the patrol will last." Wilbur sighed, rubbing the magic ring in his hand.

"Who knows, I'm afraid at least until that Frost Phantom is completely caught!" Hua De on the side also showed a bitter expression, and put away the magic ring, "Let's go, I have recovered my magic power, and the time is about the same." , it’s time for the next round of patrols... Fortunately, the patrols will be subsidized by magic stones, otherwise it’s really impossible to do it.”

   Huade is tall and burly, taking the road of flesh and blood transformation, his muscles are strong and strong, like a rock statue carved with a knife and an axe.

  After that call, Erwin arranged a patrol team at noon, and the team composed of three of them was one of them.

"Wait a little longer, I'm still close." Wilbur speeded up the recovery of his magic power, then shook his head pessimistically, "Oh... I guess that Frost Phantom may not be able to catch it for a while. Councilor Noyce will also go Did you go to the scene of the battle, but you couldn’t find where the Frost Phantom fled.”

   "Leo's team is here."

  Colin did not participate in the conversation between the two, but suddenly said while looking at the horizon.

  In his line of sight, three wizards flew here side by side, and soon arrived in front of them.

   "Thanks for the patrol." Wilbur greeted.

   "It's okay to work hard, but I think it's a waste of time."

  Colin didn't answer, but he took it seriously.

  Originally, he was on duty in the South Three Towers every day. For him who owns the silver secret room, it is just another place to practice. But patrolling every day is completely different now, he can't practice at the same time at all.

   Only after the eight-hour patrol ends and you return home can you practice daily.

   That is to say, now that the knight has advanced to the second level, and there is some free time for the time being, it will not have much impact.

  ‘I have to find a way to further improve my strength. ’ Colin thought to himself, "Perhaps, we can start with witchcraft."

  The arrival of Leo's team also represented the start of their patrol. After the greetings, Colin saw that the time was almost up, so he reminded at the right time:

   "It's almost time, and it's time for us to go on patrol."

  In this three-person team, he is the titular captain appointed by Wizard Erwin—although he didn't want to be a captain, Erwin didn't give him a chance to choose.

  From Golden Wheatshoe to Into City, and then to Golden Wheatshoe, the patrol line basically covered every large city in the Loen Kingdom.

  So even if it is a first-order wizard, it will take a lot of time to complete the flight once.

   Just like that, when the color of the sky gradually darkened and the setting sun sank to the horizon, today's patrol was declared over.

  Colin didn't go home, but came directly to Shelley's residence—he wanted to ask Shelley for some information.

"Can the Truth Council exchange for the third-order meditation idea?" Shelley, who was sitting on the sofa, was a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, "Of course it is possible, but the exchange requires a lot of points. …Well, I remember at least 10,000 points to start.”

  Colin nodded lightly. As a first-level researcher, he can only view the exchange content of the second-level in the Truth Society.

  In the past, although I vaguely knew that there was a third-order meditation method that could be exchanged, I didn't know exactly how many points were needed.

  As for the Xisheng school, if you want to exchange for the third stage of the Xisheng meditation idea, you need 1 million contribution points.

  The value ratio between the points of the True Knowledge Society and the contribution points of the Xisheng School is about a hundred times different.

  It’s just that if you want to exchange the third-level stage of the idea of ​​​​Xin Shengming from the Xisheng School, Colin first needs to register for the second-level advanced...

  Only second-level advanced wizards can exchange for the third-level stage of Xi Shengming's idea.

  Colin had a headache, took a sip of black tea, and asked again: "Do you know what can make people have the talent of fire, Shelley?

   Like the ice spring essence you gave me in the extreme north, something that can give people frost talent? "

  This kind of treasures that endow people with a certain talent is actually rare, and the frost treasures that Colin ate later only enhanced the frost talent.

  It is impossible to create a talent out of nothing like the original Bingquan Essence.

   "Fire talent..." Shelley paused, and just when Colin thought he would get nothing, the former gave him an unexpected answer.

   "If I remember correctly, the golden flame wheat of the Loen royal family can give people the talent of fire, which is actually a secret of the Erwin family.

  However, you can still try to ask Wizard Erwin..."

  The royal family of Loen has such a treasure?

  Colin couldn't hide his surprise. He had been here for two years and he had never heard of this news.

  The Truth Society... Sure enough, it is still supernatural.

  The next day.

  The study room on the second floor of the White Tower.

  Colin stepped in, and Ervin Ruen was sitting behind the walnut desk, playing with a golden pendant in his hand.

   "Good morning, Sir Irwin."

   "Good morning, Colin, what can I do for you?" Erwin raised his head and asked doubtfully.

  Colin was a little hesitant, and it was really reckless to rush to ask about other people's family's hidden treasures.

  But treasures that can give people a certain kind of talent are too rare. At least in the past two years of searching, he has found nothing.

   Ask first, and make other plans if it doesn’t work.

  Thinking about this, Colin said slowly: "Your Excellency Erwin, I heard that the Loen royal family has a special thing called Golden Flame Wheat, which can give people the talent of fire..."

   "You want Golden Flame Wheat?" Erwin interrupted Colin's narration.

   "...Yes." Colin shifted his gaze to Erwin's face.

  This majestic old wizard was also looking at him at the moment, and there was not much emotion in his sharp eyes.

   There was no expression on his face, but he kept rubbing the somewhat familiar golden pendant in his hand... It seems to be the symbol of the Ishtar School?

  Although the strength of the old wizard is not strong now, in terms of the years he has experienced, Colin is not as good as a horse.

  So now Erwin fell into silence, and Colin couldn't see what the other party was thinking. After thinking for a while, he continued to add in a sincere tone:

   "Perhaps such a request is a bit rude, but if you want, I can pay magic stones or other price that can be paid to obtain Golden Flame Wheat."

  Erwen didn't answer, but silently weighed in his heart.

  Golden Flame Wheat, he does have it, it is a special item that can only be used by first-level wizards.

   Even due to the decline of the Ruen family in recent years, there are still a lot of useless things left in his hands.

   But that is the heritage of the entire Loen family, and it cannot be easily used...

   "I'm sorry, the family motto of the Loen family, Golden Flame Wheat is not for sale, it can only be used on members of the Loen family." Erwin shook his head lightly, rejecting Colin's request.

  A look of disappointment flashed across Colin's face, but it was expected. It would be a miracle if Erwin was willing to give it to him.

   "Okay, Sir Irwin, then I won't bother you much."

  Colin turned and left the White Tower, a little melancholy.

  However, before Colin could think of a new decision, things suddenly changed again.

   That evening.

   Erwin summoned him suddenly.

   Arriving at the third floor of the White Tower, Erwin was standing by the square glass window, the rays of the setting sun shone in, and his white hair turned orange, as if being ignited.

  He is looking into the distance at the moment, his back looks a bit bleak.

   "I can give you Jin Yanmai, but only if you agree to one of my requests."

  Erwen's voice was a little deep, which made Colin feel a little strange, and subconsciously continued: "You said, as long as it is a reasonable request, I can agree."

  Ervin turned around, but there was a slight smile on the face that Colin thought would be serious.

   "Come out, Jennifer." He said, looking at the stairs not far away.

  Colin was slightly taken aback, and turned his head subconsciously.

  A young girl in a gorgeous Victorian white dress lifted the hem of her skirt and walked down the stairs cautiously.

  Her appearance is not outstanding, but she is better than young, with the youthfulness and vitality unique to girls.

At this time, he looked at Colin, and then at his great-grandfather. His thin face couldn't help but flushed, as if he was too shy and nervous. The slightly drunken color spread to his smooth shoulders and collarbone. Under the background, there is a charming luster.

   "This is my great-granddaughter, Jennifer, senior wizard apprentice...Say hello to Your Excellency Colin."

   "Your Excellency Colin." Although shy, Jennifer still approached generously, lifted her skirt and gave Colin a salute.

   "Your Excellency Erwin... this is?"

   Erwin smiled, "Golden Flame Wheat is never used on people outside the Loen family, but if you promise me to marry Jennifer, then I can give you a bouquet of Golden Flame Wheat."

   Before the astonished Colin could answer, Erwin continued to add:

   "Of course, just marrying Jennifer doesn't require you to join the Ruen family. The only condition is that the first child needs to be named Ruen. How about it?"

  Jennifer on the side has lowered her head, her earlobes are slightly red.

   While Colin was in a mess, he couldn't help but wonder why Erwin proposed such a condition.

   "Sorry, Sir Erwin, I haven't considered getting a wife yet."

   But no matter what, it is impossible for him to agree to such a condition... It seems that the flame talent can only find another way.

  Erwen didn't answer, but narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Colin, who had a firm expression on his face.

  The blush on Jennifer's face has dissipated unknowingly, and her head is buried deeper.

   "You step back first, Jennifer."

   "Yes, great-grandfather..."

  The well-dressed girl gradually moved away, the sound of footsteps slowly disappeared, and the window became quiet again.

  Colin also thought of quitting:

   "If there is nothing else, then I will not bother..."

   "I can give you the Golden Flame Wheat, Colin." Irvin didn't know when he walked to the window again, the light outside had become weak, and his white hair was dyed by the night, blending with the twilight outside the window.

   "You don't need to pay a high price." Erwin turned around and took out a bunch of wheat ears from his body. The topaz-like wheat grains radiated flame-like light in the dark night, like a cluster of golden flames.

  While walking towards Colin, Erwin took out a metal badge in the shape of a wheat ear, and snapped it into two halves.

   "I only hope that one day in the future, when you see a descendant of the Loen family coming to your door with this half badge, you can grant him a request within your ability.

   Of course, it's not mandatory...you can choose to say yes, or you can choose not to say yes, it's up to you, Colin. "

   Erwin spread out his palm, and handed the Golden Flame Wheat and half a badge to Colin.

  The latter raised his head and stared at Erwin, as if wanting to determine whether this was a joke.

  But in the eyes of the old wizard in front of him, nothing could be seen, like a calm but deep pool of water.

   "I will, Sir Irwin."

   After deliberating for a moment, Colin reached out and took Jin Yanmai and the half badge.

  He believes in his own strength, and he doesn't think Erwin will set up any conspiracy against him for no reason.

  Behind Erwin's actions...I'm afraid there should be something unknown.

  Seeing Colin taking the Golden Flame Wheat and the badge, Ervin smiled.

   He is no stranger to all the wizards stationed in the Kingdom of Loen, but no matter how he observes it, Colin is the most special one among them.

  In terms of talent, he is the only golden feather, and the rest are marginal wizards with poor talent.

  In terms of behavior, he is the only one who can insist on being on duty most of the time.

  Of course, the most important thing is—this Jin Yu is not close to the school, at least for now.

  These special features make Colin like a white wolf in a flock of sheep. Maybe at first they will be confused because of the same coat color, but they will always stand out in the end, making it impossible to ignore its existence.

  Irwin believes that the wizard in front of him is a worthy investment object.

  And the current Loen family also needs this kind of future investment... Just in case.

   "Then I won't bother you anymore, thank you, Your Excellency Erwin." Colin carefully put away the Golden Flame Wheat and half of the badge, his heart jumped.

  Although I don't know what happened, it is obviously a very cost-effective deal to easily exchange for Jin Yanmai with only a promise within the scope of ability.

   Watching Colin leave, in the sound of Dangdang going downstairs, Irvin couldn't help but recall the sudden order from Neustadt in the afternoon—

   "Your Excellency Erwin, I regret to tell you that due to the impact of the war, the Neustadt School Alliance discussed that this year the proportion of the Loen Kingdom's grain harvest needs to be increased by another 10%..."

  To tell the truth, just raising it by 10% is not a serious injury, but it is clearly eating away like a frog boiled in warm water!

  Turning his head to look at the night outside the window, Erwin's eyes gradually became cloudy.

  ‘Perhaps, it’s time to try the last resort. '

  The format of the New Year’s greeting single chapter should be correct. I asked the boss in the next group, and they said that there will be a delay in the appearance of the easter egg chapter...Although it has been almost two days.

   In short, wait and see if it will appear suddenly.
