Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 327 Consideration

   Under her leadership, the three came to the top of the castle.

   Walking up the stairs, there is a small reception desk, and there are deep corridors on the left and right, connecting about seven or eight rooms.

   "Wait for me here," Shelley said softly, then turned and walked into a room in the deepest part of the hallway.

  Colin looked at her distant back, suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked Okashy who was behind him:

   "Okashy, did I join the True Guild like this? Don't I need other members to examine it?"

   "No." Okashy shook her head, "If another researcher is on duty today, another person may be required to check, but Shelley is a third-level researcher, and she has such authority."

   Colin raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded.

   If Shelley's real age is similar to her appearance, then she is undoubtedly a super genius, at least when it comes to witchcraft.

   I just don't know how strong it is... Should it be first-order or second-order?

   It should not be third-order anyway.

  The third level is a hurdle. As long as the third level is reached, it can be called a high-level wizard. If it is not deliberately hidden, it can be felt directly from the outside.

   And between first-order and second-order wizards, it is not easy to distinguish between them if they do not release their mental power and use detection methods.

   didn't make them wait too long, Shelley returned with a book-like brass badge.

   "Give, enter the spirit and magic binding at the same time."

  Colin took the badge and did as he was told.

   Like the school badge, and the brass badge of this True Guild, their binding process is basically the same.

   is simple but extremely reliable.

  Each person's spirit has unique fluctuations, and so does magic. The combination of the two is used as the basis for judgment, and it is extremely difficult to be disguised.

   Binding the badge of True Knowledge, Shelley took him to the front desk next to him.

   "Are you sure you want to exchange these witchcraft for True Knowledge Points?" Shelley confirmed.

   "Yes." Colin nodded, thought for a while and then said, "Colin Leonard, just call me Colin."

   "Shelley Anastasia." Shelley replied indifferently, and then began to carefully estimate the specific point value of the four first-order witchcraft in his hand.

   This process did not last for a short time. It took about three hours before Shelley finished comparing a series of regulations one by one.

   Of course, the reason why it took so long was also because Colin came up with a new first-order witchcraft in the middle.

  Okay was already numb to this, she found a chair as usual and sat down, quietly adjusted her glasses, took out the topic she recently researched and started reading.

  Because of Teacher Jonah's instructions, and out of politeness, she did not intend to leave first.

   Although she really wanted to do it.

   The total points exchanged for the last five witchcraft are 1040 points.

   Watching Shelley record it in the badge of the True Knowledge Association, Colin let out a sigh of relief, and a little anticipation surged in his heart like a tide.

   The second-order cultivation method is always solved!

   The official name of the big crystal on the basement floor is actually called the True Knowledge Library.

   However, it is not wrong to call it a large crystal. After all, from the appearance, the true knowledge library looks like a spindle-shaped amethyst standing in a special device on the ground.

  Under the violet light, Colin quickly retrieved the Tin Saint Meditation (Second-Order Stage) like he was in the study before, and after signing the contract, he chose to exchange it without hesitation!

  According to what Shelley said, he let go of his mind, and those purple rays of light suddenly poured into the eyebrows like flowing water, and illusory crystals condensed there.

   This is the second-order stage of the tin saint meditation method. Afterwards, you only need to use mental power to touch it to read until the crystal disappears completely.

   After redeeming the meditation method, Colin did not rush to quit, but continued to check what the remaining 40 points could be redeemed for.

   But after looking around, basically all the knowledge that can be exchanged is below first-order knowledge, or it is some very popular first-order witchcraft, such as bursting fireballs.

  The points of true knowledge are precious, and it is naturally not cost-effective to exchange such knowledge.

   This time, it seems that he has obtained thousands of points easily, but behind it is at least half a year of day and night efforts in the past.

  Colin considered for a moment, disconnected the spiritual link, turned around and walked out.

   Shelley at the door saw him coming out and waved his hand to close the door of the secret room.

   "Any other needs? Colin... Your Excellency." Seemingly not used to it, Shelley paused when he called him by his name.

   "No, thank you." Colin replied politely.

  Shelley didn't say more, nodded, and walked upstairs with the thick black book on her own.

  Colin didn't care, he could see that Shelley was obviously the type of person who didn't like socializing.

   "Thank you too, Okasey, thank you for bringing me to the True Knowledge Society." He turned around and continued to thank Okasey.

   This is a sincere thank you, he really doesn't care much about this witch's prejudice against him before.

   "No...don't thank you." Okashy was stunned for a moment, then she stroked the hair beside her ear and said softly.

   "Where is Colin going next?"

   asked Okasey, and the two walked towards the ground side by side.

   "Well... I plan to go to the tutor's place." Collin replied after a while.

   "Does your tutor live in the school?"

"Yes."

  Okashy nodded, she also wanted to go back to the school, which was a good way to go.

   The two walked out of the True Proclamation Station, and Colin glanced back subconsciously.

  The gray-black old castle, rough trails, dilapidated and dried-up pools... Although the real knowledge is really strong in terms of experience, this picture is really not good for sale.

  If the doors and windows were not in good condition, and there were no major broken and dirty, he would have thought that this was an abandoned building when he came alone.

   Hmm... There is also a witch with white hair inside.

   "Is there only one person on duty at the Zhenzhihui?" Colin asked aloud after thinking about it.

   "Not necessarily." Okashy shook her head, "It mainly depends on whether someone comes here to do the experiment."

   "Today, it seems that there should be none."

   "There is still a laboratory here?" Colin asked suspiciously.

   "In fact, the two left and right sub-fortresses are laboratories, which can be rented with the corresponding research level."

   "The laboratory level increases from top to bottom. There are twelve first-order laboratories, six second-order laboratories, and two third-order laboratories... Well, there is also a fourth-order standard laboratory underground."

   Colin was a little stunned. The first-order and second-order laboratories are nothing, but the fourth-order standard laboratory!

  What does it mean to be a fourth-order standard laboratory?

   Not to mention the precious auxiliary research tools that should be equipped, as far as the internal defense is concerned, at least it must be able to withstand Tier 4 attacks!

   The True Knowledge Meeting is truly unbelievable!

   However, what Okashy said in the next second quickly shattered the excitement in his heart.

   "It's just that most of these laboratories have lost their proper functions because of their disrepair. The higher the level, the more so."

   "The tools in the third-order and fourth-order laboratories are basically unusable. There are only two intact second-order laboratories. The first-order laboratory is better, but only half is left."

   No wonder there aren't many wizards coming... It turns out that it's almost broken.

   Colin was a little speechless, but to him, it didn't make much difference whether these laboratories were good or bad.

  The way he studied witchcraft was different from ordinary people.

   But soon, as if thinking of something, Colin asked again:

   "What is the specific price for renting a laboratory? Do you need points?"

   If you use points to rent, it is really not cost-effective, but if you can rent with magic stones and the price is more reasonable, it will be very useful to yourself!

   With golden paper, if he wants to improve the level of magic or create new magic, he does not need to spend a lot of energy to understand the calculation principle like a normal wizard.

   The only thing he had to do was practice, practice at full strength.

  Other witchcraft is fine, but if you practice attacking witchcraft, you have to practice with all your strength.

  With the improvement of strength, the requirements for the practice environment are also getting higher and higher.

Although the basement of the    residence has been fortified, and every time he casts sorcery, he is careful to put the power on the target as much as possible.

   But with his current strength, even if it is only some aftermath, the basement has gradually become unbearable.

   If you don’t want to waste a lot of time every day out of town looking for a hidden wasteland to practice, then finding a reliable practice ground in Neustadt is imminent.

   After all, the Neustadt Kingdom is outside the city of Neustadt. If you really want to find a hidden and uninhabited wasteland, you have to fly for at least half a day.

   Now it seems that the laboratory of the True Knowledge Society seems to be a good choice. Close to home...and quiet and privacy.

The    school or the practice venues opened by other schools outside, there must be more wizards than here.

"Points and magic stones are fine." Okashy replied, "The price is very cheap, usually the monthly rent, in the case of a first-order laboratory, the best one hundred and fifty magic stones a month, the worst one Hundred Magic Stones.

   Those abandoned laboratories can also be rented. They are very good for experimenting with witchcraft power. They can be rented on a per-time basis, with 2 magic stones each time, and the monthly subscription is 50 magic stones. "

  The price is not bad, Colin nodded slightly.

  If you want to be more concealed, maybe you can intersperse the rental, and occasionally rent the scrapped ones for a few days, which can also reduce some expenses.

   It is now past four in the afternoon.

  The weather was a little gloomy, and the warm noon sun suddenly disappeared after a few hours. Thick clouds covered the blue sky, as if snow had piled up in the sky.

  Okashy and Colin walked side by side, although they were side by side, there was at least one meter between them.

   is not very familiar after all.

   The previous topic ended, and the atmosphere became a little awkward again. Okashy helped her glasses, thought about it, and asked:

   "Your Excellency Colin, are you from Neustadt?"

   "No, I'm from a small island in the southern sea... Cough, I come from a small kingdom in the south of the Siya continent. When I was a child, I was taken to a small island by a wizard in the southern sea and became a wizard apprentice.

   Later, the island was destroyed by the gods, so I came to the Siya continent..."

  Okashy was startled, she thought Colin had nothing to surprise her.

   But Colin actually had such a fantastic experience, he was born in a small kingdom without wizards?

   "...That must be not easy." After a long silence, Okashy murmured.

"fine."

  "?!" Okashy pursed her lips and decided to remain silent, no longer trying to ease the silence.

   But the relationship between people is so wonderful.

  When she stopped trying to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, gradually, Okaxi also found that there seemed to be no embarrassing atmosphere.

  The two quietly walked the rest of the way and parted ways at the school gate.

  Okassy returned to Black Castle, while Colin came to Atbold's residence.

   On the ruins of the original villa, a building has been erected.

   It’s just that this new building looks a bit shabby compared to the previous villas.

   It is just a single-storey wooden house, and the area of ​​​​the area is not large.

   But when Colin walked in, he realized that the space inside the wooden house was bigger than he thought.

   At least the living room and study room are divided, and there are several other rooms.

   Atbold knew it when he came in.

   Following Nado's instructions, Colin walked through the living room to the study.

   Pushing open the thick wooden door, what you see is the same furnishings as before.

  Heavy brown desk, huge force field floor-to-ceiling windows, tall bookshelf on the left.

  Everything seems to be the same as the study on the second floor of the original villa...except for the view from the window.

  Through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows of the force field, in the vast snow, a swaying flower comes into view.

  In a special protective cover, they are spared the fate of withering, and they are still blooming brilliantly in this icy world.

   "Good afternoon, mentor." Looking back, Colin said hello to Artbold sitting behind the desk.

   "Good afternoon, Colin, is there anything you're looking for?" Atbold smiled mildly.

   "Yes." Colin nodded, "I want to ask the instructor some questions about the advanced second level."

   Atbold's expression didn't change, and he answered Colin's questions patiently and in detail.

   He didn't think that Colin was about to advance to the second level, he just thought it was an ordinary inquiry.

   After all, Colin has not been an official wizard for a long time, and his understanding of second-order wizards is obviously limited.

   About an hour later, the sun fell and the sky gradually dimmed.

   The conversation between the two also basically ended.

   Sitting in the chair, Colin was thoughtful, and after some conversation, he benefited a lot.

  Atbold, as a second-order wizard, can actually demonstrate for him in many places, which is more vivid than the knowledge in books.

   "Have you got the Golden Feather nameplate?" Atbold asked suddenly.

   "I got it, I just got it today." Colin came back to his senses, took out his golden feather nameplate, and gestured to hand it to Artbold.

  Atbold waved his hand and stared at the golden feather nameplate with reminiscence in his eyes.

   He looked at Colin, the figure of the student in front of him gradually blurred, and it seemed to overlap with his son who died young.

   "Master Atbold, it's getting late, so I'll go back first?" Colin asked aloud.

   Atbold came back to his senses, stunned, nodded and said:

   "Well, you can go back. If you have any doubts, you can come to me at any time."

   "Okay, goodbye tutor."

  Colin slowly got up and walked towards the door.

   "Colin,"

   But as soon as he reached the door, Atbold stopped him again.

   "After you get the golden feather nameplate, countless factions in the school will throw olive branches to you, if you like it... I hope you don't care about me, don't care about Lilian.

   With your talent, I am afraid that it will take a few years to become a second-order wizard. At that time, I will not be able to help you much in wizard practice. "

   "And there are more benefits to having a big faction, at least...don't worry about meeting the next Hitos."

   "No matter how the school struggles, it is still an internal struggle. As long as the backing is not a small force, Jin Yu is your talisman, you don't need to worry too much..."

   Perhaps to make up for his past regrets, Atbold rambled on a lot.

   Colin didn't say much, just listened silently. After a long time, he nodded and said slowly:

   "I'll consider it, Master Atbold."

  The wooden door slowly closed, and Colin stepped out of the Atebold residence. It was already dark outside.
