Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 100 Set sail

   "Anchor!"

  ding, ding, ding—

   On the three-masted sailboat, four strong men pushed the wooden winch, and the thick and heavy iron chains were recycled and wound, and there was a ding sound between collisions.

   After a while, the heavy anchor was raised from the bottom of the sea.

   Then, the barque gradually moved.

  Colin stood on the raised stern, watching the crowded wooden pier not far away, watching it gradually pull away.

  Those fanatical crowds filled the pier closest to him, and even the surrounding piers and beaches.

   is now reaching out to him emotionally, shouting something.

   What's more, he even jumped out of the sea and swam desperately towards him.

  ...It was like sending him off, but also like he was reluctant to give up.

  As the sailboat continues to move forward, the distance becomes farther.

   The debris and stones thrown by the crowd could no longer touch the departing ship.

   He waved the scepter of ignorance and withdrew the expanded Hope defense field.

  As the understanding of witchcraft becomes deeper and deeper, there will be more and more changes that wizards can use.

   Now, with the blessing of the scepter of ignorance, the Hope Defensive Field, which has been upgraded to the power of a formal wizard, has more uses.

   Before that, he couldn't expand Hope's defense field to such a large range.

   He withdrew his gaze, turned and walked towards the middle of the boat, no longer gazing at the frenzied crowd at the far pier.

   Not far away, Renee was throwing the bodies of several sailors off the sailboat.

  Colin looked calm.

   In his mind, the sailors frantically blocked the ship from before.

   They have turned their backs on the gods...

   is his enemy.

   Fortunately, after the rest of the crew left the island, they have gradually recovered from their confused look, and the mental fog on their bodies has stopped dispersing and returned to stability.

   As he walked towards Renee, he exhaled the golden paper.

   Above, the progress of Hope's defensive force field was as expected, and there was not much change.

   The price of using the Scepter of Idiot to cast witchcraft is forgetting knowledge.

  However, under the influence of golden paper, he casts sorcery, but it will increase his knowledge.

   The two obviously cancel each other out.

   Specifically, is it growing more or forgetting more.

   mainly depends on the strength of the desired boost.

   At least the sorcery, such as the Hope Defensive Field, which was at the peak of the apprenticeship power, was raised to the strength of the ordinary sorcery cast by ordinary formal wizards.

   The forgotten knowledge is not much, and it is still within the acceptable range.

  ‘ but still needs to be used with caution. ' Colin told himself to himself.

   Within a certain range of augmented strength, the Scepter of Stupidity will give priority to forgetting the knowledge of the witchcraft it casts.

   If it exceeds this range.

   That means not only completely forgetting the sorcery you just cast, but also randomly forgetting any knowledge.

  The scope of this arbitrary knowledge includes not only witchcraft knowledge, but also any other knowledge, even concepts, cognitions...

   For wizards, some important concepts and cognitions are forgotten in this world.

   not only may lead to the confusion of the underlying logic and the collapse of the three views,

   will also disperse the aura of humanity and knowledge, resulting in alienation by self-pollution.

   "Master." Renee greeted him respectfully when she saw him coming.

   Colin nodded slightly.

   With a thought, the scepter with the dark gold pattern dissipated, turning into a golden pattern attached to the right arm.

   He looked at Renee.

  The blond girl is still as pretty and beautiful as before.

   At this moment, under his gaze, he stroked the blond hair by the side of his ear a little uncomfortably.

  Colin's expression was calm, as if he suddenly thought of something, he asked again:

   "Where's Arthur? Why didn't you see him?"

   Renee shook her head and replied:

   "Master, Arthur sent me and Demi to the east port of the city. After making an appointment to pick us up in the evening, he left alone."

   "I don't know where I went."

  Collington nodded and nodded slightly.

   No wonder I didn't see my familiar carriage on the beach before...

   As for where Arthur went.

   He also knew—

   is nothing more than a pub...or a brothel.

   Although he did not restrain his servants too much, he still had some idea of ​​their whereabouts.

   Renee usually stays at home, either trying to develop new dishes, practicing cooking, or playing with Demi.

   As for Arthur, perhaps because he has a monthly salary, he occasionally goes to a tavern.

   These Colin knew and didn't care.

   Anyway, just make sure to do your job well and don’t cause him trouble.

  It's a pity now...

   "Colin!"

   At this moment, a cry suddenly came from a distance.

   Colin looked up, and on the sea not far away, a three-masted sailboat came into view.

   Berkeley and the others were standing on the deck watching him.

  …

   The original spacious captain's room of the three-masted sailing ship.

   At this time, it seemed a little crowded because it was crowded with apprentices.

   "So...everything is just a god's plan?"

   Berkeley at the front muttered bitterly.

   The voice was inexplicably dry.

  The rest of the apprentices were also silent, with undisguised shock and confusion on their faces.

"Um."

   Colin nodded slightly, waiting for them to digest the information.

  The captain's room fell silent.

   for a long time.

   Berkeley spoke first to break the silence.

   "What do you guys plan to do next?"

   The complex look on his face has subsided as much as possible.

   has now returned to its former calm appearance.

   Even more gritty than ever.

  Colin looked at Berkeley, somewhat surprised.

  He thought Berkeley would be the last to recover.

after all……

   Among the apprentices here, he is undoubtedly the one who has the deepest affection for the Lapp wizard and the Lapp school.

   I didn't expect...

  Fina and the others raised their brows subconsciously when they heard Berkeley's question, their faces a little blank.

  Berkeley looked around, his eyes fell on Colin in front of him, and he asked:

   "Colin... Your Excellency, what are your plans after that?"

   Hearing his name, Colin couldn't help but froze for a moment, a little dazed.

For some unknown reason,    remembered inexplicably the time when he traded arrows with him at the central guard of Blackrock City.

   The memory is still very clear, it seems that it has just passed...

   seems to have been a long and fuzzy time.

  The sea birds chirped outside the window, and the waves were rippling.

   As far as the line of sight can be seen, there is no shadow of Black Rock Island.

   After a moment of silence, he replied:

   "Bakanaan Island... I'm going to Bakanaan Island."

   Berkeley was startled and said:

   "Bakanaan Island...isn't that close."

   Colin nodded slightly, paused and asked:

   "What about you? Berkeley... Your Excellency."

   "I'm going to Molly Island." Berkeley said slowly, he looked around the crowd and asked again:

"what about you?"

   "I want to continue following you, Lord Berkeley." Martha spoke first.

   "I'll go with you too." Fina followed.

   "I'll go to Molly Island, too." Flower hesitated and agreed.

   Compared to Bananka Island, Mori Island is closer and takes less time to sail by sea.

   also means safer.

  Although Colin in front of him had shown great strength before.

   But it's obviously stupid to put your own safety in the hands of others.

   What's more, he is more willing to believe in the more familiar Berkeley than Colin.

  Colin was silent.

   I had expected this result in my heart.

   It’s just inevitable that there is some parting melancholy.

   But now.

   "Lord Colin, I want to go to Bananka Island with you!"

  The last thin wizard, Murray, suddenly spoke.

   Berkeley frowned, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

   "Yes." Colin glanced up at Murray and said lightly.

   Next, we talked for a while.

  The four of Berkeley got up and prepared to leave.

  Colin sent them to the deck.

  The sea breeze is oncoming, blowing the ends of your hair.

  Flower looked at him with a complicated expression, and finally sighed:

   "Good sailing, Lord Colin."

  Colin thanked him back.

   Before he knew it, he had become accustomed to the new names and respectful attitudes that Flower and others gave him.

  Fina and Martha also stepped forward to bid him farewell.

   He also returned blessings one by one.

   Finally, Berkeley approached.

   "Good sailing, Lord Colin." He also blessed.

   Then he glanced at Murray, who was standing not far away, and sighed.

  I hope it's not as I thought...

The Colin in front of    was only an intermediate wizard apprentice before the ceremony.

   But the sorcery released now has reached the level of an official wizard.

   Everyone knows that Colin must have an adventure...

   But not everyone can restrain greed.

   He glanced at Colin again, then turned to join Fina and the others, and flew towards their barque not far away.

  Colin watched as Huo and the others gradually disappeared, turned into small dots, and finally landed on the deck of the barque.

After    retracted his gaze, he turned his head and glanced at Murray, who was standing beside him, then turned around and walked towards the captain's room.
