Weird Wizarding World

  Nanau in November is the beginning of autumn, and it was just a little chilly.

   On the Lepo River, there are many mists every morning.

   This smoky view always reminds Colin of the scene he once was on Blackrock Island.

   Withdrawing his gaze, he walked back to the room from the balcony on the second floor.

   "Good morning, Master."

   Renee, as usual, was waiting at the door.

   "Good morning." Colin smiled.

   Renee paused and continued: "Your Excellency Hawthorne came to visit and is now waiting outside the door."

   "Hawthorne?" Colin was a little surprised.

   "The girl from yesterday evening is Mr. Hawthorne's daughter." Renee explained as if seeing Colin's doubts.

   "So it is." Colin nodded suddenly, and said again, "It's a bit late."

   "Actually, Lord Hawthorne should have come early, only knocking on the door until dawn." Renee added.

   When she went to open the door this morning, she saw that Hawthorne's shoulders and hair were already wet with mist, no doubt he had been standing outside for a long time.

   "Are you afraid of disturbing us?"

"should be."

   "Yeah." Colin nodded noncommittally.

   He was a little surprised.

  I didn't expect that the girl who delivered the newspaper yesterday would be Hawthorne's daughter...

   After he rescued the girl and the knight and returned to the villa yesterday, he instructed Renee to briefly inquire about the other party's specific situation.

   While he was taking advantage of the night, he couldn’t wait to conduct a coercive test with the materials delivered to his door.

   I have to say that the only disadvantage of this batch of experimental materials delivered to the door is that there are no wizards.

   In addition, ordinary people, junior knights, intermediate knights, and advanced knights are all available.

   After a night of testing, he benefited a lot.

   Because of this, he stayed busy until about four in the morning before returning to the bedroom to meditate. The two Wen Qians he rescued had long been abandoned.

   also forgot to hear the news from Renee about the inquiries.

   Looking back now, the knight was obviously responsible for defending the girl last night... This already highlights the special status of the girl.

   Colin smiled without thinking much.

   For him as a first-order wizard, the so-called "battle" last night was more like going out and receiving a courier delivered to his door.

   "Let Hawthorn come directly." Colin thought for a while and ordered.

   As usual, he should see Hawthorne after breakfast as planned.

   But Hawthorne has been waiting outside for half the night after all, and he is also a little curious about the reason last night, so let's see Hawthorne first.

   "Okay." Renee nodded in response, turned and walked downstairs.

After a few minutes.

   Renee took Hawthorn outside the study.

  Hawthorne stood in front of the study door and adjusted his collar, his haggard complexion was a little calm.

   When Renee opened the door this morning, he had already confirmed from Renee that his daughter was fine, so he had put aside his worries for the time being.

   Come here now, more to express my gratitude to Colin.

   Crunch, Hawthorn took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked into the study.

  The warm sun in the early autumn morning slanted in through the glass windows. …

  Behind the elegant dark brown desk, a handsome elf-like boy was sitting on a large leather chair, watching him calmly.

  The warm yellow sunlight fell on him, as if a vivid oil painting was framed.

   Hawthorne was slightly absent-minded.

   It stands to reason that this is not the first time he has seen Colin, and he is already prepared, so he shouldn't be so rude.

   And even if Colin's appearance is outstanding, he is just a handsome boy.

  Except for some men with special hobbies, he is a middle-aged man and should not be affected by reason.

   However, in Hawthorne's cognition, the feeling of coming to see Colin this time is completely different from the last time.

   It is a feeling that is hard to describe.

   Even, Hawthorne felt, it wasn't because of Colin's handsome appearance.

   is more like... a mysterious charm suddenly manifested.

   He only felt that seeing Colin in front of him at this moment was like seeing the godfather from his hometown who was in awe when he was a young boy.

   Don't even dare to look up!

   "Your Excellency Nader."

   Hawthorne was stunned for a long time before finally reacting.

   He paused, trying to eliminate the inexplicable feeling in his heart and continued:

   "Thank you for your help yesterday evening. Otherwise, I can't imagine the despair of Wen Qian, who lost her baby."

  Hawthorne struggled to overcome the inexplicable feeling in his heart.

   But he didn't realize that his words had become more respectful unconsciously, and some originally restrained emotions had become more apparent.

   "Hands up." Colin smiled.

   He was not surprised by Hawthorne's performance now.

   This is another wonderful use of coercion he discovered yesterday.

  When the range of the pressure is low, it can make the target under the pressure full of awe and an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

  According to the description of the experimental material last night, it was like facing the person whom he most respected.

   Of course, this is just one of the magic tricks I discovered last night.

  'Well... Maybe this coercion can also be called a knight's halo. ' Colin suddenly thought inexplicably.

  Although this is not necessarily something that an advanced first-order knight will inevitably bring, in any case, it is always something that is produced in the process of advanced knight.

   So it seems that there is nothing wrong with calling it that.

   "Your Excellency Nader." Hawthorne paused, suddenly took out a kraft paper bag, and continued:

   "This is the title deed of the villa you are currently living in."

   "Although I know it's not worth mentioning to you, I still want to give it to you in return."

After    finished speaking, Hawthorn hesitated, then suddenly continued:

   "Besides that, there's this—"

   "This is a token of the Ranti School in Meredith City."

   He took out a black coin from his body and handed it to Colin with the same expression.

  This token fell into his hands because of some chance.

   Hawthorne understands what an opportunity this is.

   However, he knew better that his sons and daughters did not necessarily have the gift of wizards.

   And with wizard talent, he may not be able to successfully join the wizarding school with the token. …

   Of course, none of these can affect the preciousness of the token.

   It's just that Colin has saved his most precious daughter, and he is willing to give this precious token to Colin.

   After all, apart from the token, he couldn't think of anything else that could enter Colin's eyes.

   "Oh." Colin was interested.

   He remembered that Hawthorne had told him before that there would be a token auction of the wizarding school at that merchant party...

   seems to be called the Ranti School.

   seems to be aware of Colin's curiosity, Hawthorne is the first to explain:

   "Because of some chance and coincidence, this token has now fallen into my hands."

  Colin nodded lightly, he could guess that behind Hawthorne's words, there must be a **** storm.

   "Are you willing to give it to me?" He smiled and continued to ask.

   Hawthorne nodded heavily and said solemnly:

   "Worthy!"

   "Vengeance must be repaid, this is my creed that I have always adhered to since ordinary civilians."

  Colin thought for a while, then reached out and took the black coin.

   Although the school token is useless to him now, it is worth some magic stones.

   In general, little is better than nothing.

   As for the possible crisis behind him, he doesn't care.

The   Lanti School is not a big school, and it is obvious that the competition for it will not be too powerful.

   At least, no more powerful than a full-time member of the Tin Saint School, and Hawthorne's ability to get a token from it just proves this.

   Squeezed the coin in his hand, and Colin used his magic power to test it out.

   A faint light suddenly appeared on the coin.

   He put away the coin with his backhand, and thought to himself:

  ' is indeed a token of the Ranti School.

   But the requirements are a bit harsh... Not only must they be under the age of sixteen, they have never practiced meditation, but their qualifications must be second-class or above. ’

  Hawthorne was relieved when he saw Colin accepting the token.

   He went on to add:

   "It was people from the Nat Chamber of Commerce who attacked Wen Qian last night, but the reason for the attack was not because of this token, but because of business conflicts."

   "So adults can rest assured, no one knows that I got this token of the Ranti School."

  Colin raised his eyebrows, which he didn't expect.

  He thought that Hawthorne wanted to get rid of a hot potato in addition to thanking him.

   It’s just that he didn’t mind, so he didn’t mention it.

   But now it seems that is not the case.

   Hawthorne really gave himself the precious token he finally got.

   Rubbing the coin in his hand, Colin thought about it and asked:

   "What is the specific conflict between the Nat Chamber of Commerce and you?"

   Hawthorne was startled, didn't expect Colin to ask this, could it be because he wanted to…

   "Don't think about it, I just want to know about the Nat Chamber of Commerce." Colin added, there was no other meaning in his tone.

   He did have the intention to help Hawthorn, but he had to understand the situation first and then decide.

   Hawthorne restrained his mind, and organized the language to say:

   "The Nat Chamber of Commerce is the same as the Thorne Chamber of Commerce I run, and its main business is real estate.

   It’s just that their main activity area in the past was on the east bank of the Lepo River, and I was on the west bank of the Lepo River, as well as some suburbs in Nanau. "…

   "Before, our two chambers of commerce have reached a consensus with each other, so the well water does not violate the river water on weekdays.

   But a few days ago, the Nat Chamber of Commerce found three great knights out of nowhere, and they started an unreasonable and savage expansion. "

   "As we are on the west bank of the Lepo River next door, we are naturally the first to bear the brunt... The conflict broke out like this."

   Hawthorne's face was bitter... The three great knights were not like this.

   He also took the initiative to cut a lot of meat and chose to give in.

   Although shopping malls are battlefields, they are also rivers and lakes.

   He has already behaved like this. According to the rules, the Nat Chamber of Commerce should stop at enough time.

  Especially when he announced his willingness to sell most of the West Bank properties to the Nat Chamber of Commerce at a low price.

   Take 10,000 steps back, even if you don’t want to stop, at least you won’t be playing tricks anymore.

   However, the Nat Chamber of Commerce was the exact opposite. It seemed that because of the appearance of the three great knights, their methods not only became very ruthless, but also did not follow the rules at all.

"I see."

   Is it just three great knights? Colin nodded and was about to speak.

   But seeing the coin in his hand, he suddenly had a new idea.

   On the other hand, Hawthorne glanced at him carefully, seeing that he was silent, his eyes were slightly lost, and he continued:

   "Thank you very much, Lord Nader, I won't bother you any more."

   "Wait, go and call Wen Qian over." Colin suddenly raised his head and said, the black coin flipped over the tip of his right finger.

"Yes…"

   Hawthorne was obviously stunned for a moment, and then got up quickly and went out.

   Not long after, the door of the study was knocked again.

   "Please come in." Colin said lightly.

   A quiet girl cautiously pushed the door and entered.

   looked at him and immediately lowered his head.

  Colin looked calm, looked at Wen Qian who came in and said slowly, "Come here, put your hand on the crystal."

After   , he continued to Hawthorne who was behind the door:

   "You come in too."

   "Okay...Okay." Hawthorne smiled awkwardly and walked in as well.

   When he was going down the stairs just now, he weighed it for a long time, and finally chose to let Wen Qian enter the study alone.

   However, after Wen Qian really went in alone, he had some regrets in his heart.

   He knew nothing about Colin.

   But the businessman's experience makes him always willing to think the worst.

   Wen Qian obediently walked in front of Colin, stretched out her palm and placed it on the transparent crystal ball.

   However, she seemed to be a little nervous, and her outstretched white palm was obviously trembling slightly.

   "Relax." Colin said softly.

   With the cooperation of the knight's halo, his words seemed to have some kind of magic power.

  Wen Qian only felt that her heart suddenly calmed down. She closed her eyes subconsciously and felt it seriously.

   Beside Hawthorne, watching this scene nervously, he seemed to realize something.

   After a while.

   A mist gradually drifted from the transparent crystal ball.

   "Yes, second-class qualifications."

   After taking a closer look, Colin said with a smile.

   Then suddenly he handed the black coin to Hawthorn from his body.

   "Keep the token, your daughter has the talent of a wizard and also meets the conditions of the token."…

"This…"

  Although he had some expectations in his heart, Hawthorne was still a little unbelievable.

   Colin didn't think so much, he just felt that a token of the Lanti School was not too precious.

   It’s better to do something you are more comfortable doing.

   Rescue Wen Qian last night, in his opinion, it was just an effort.

   He was already very happy to have the experimental materials delivered to his door, and there was no need to take another token.

   After all, he does not lack these, but he feels that he is indebted to him.

   It’s better to return things to their original owners, and by the way, contribute to the growth of the wizarding community.

   "That's right." Colin suddenly thought of something, and said, "The Nat Chamber of Commerce is doing whatever it takes. I think the owner of the Villa No. 6 next door should have been killed."

   "They should be sanctioned to pass such information to the relevant watchdog in Naau... well, in the name of my wizard."

   It wasn't that he said it casually.

   When he was testing Knight's Halo last night, he accidentally learned that Villa No. 6 was already a dead place.

   It seems to be a wealthy foreign businessman living in it.

   He and his housekeeper, maid, and mistress have all been tortured to death.

   Those knights of the Nat Chamber of Commerce are not good things.

"…Yes!"

   Hawthorn replied quickly, showing excitement.

   With Colin’s words, the Nat Chamber of Commerce has undoubtedly been declared a death sentence!
