Weird Wizarding World

  December 8.

  The weather is still bad, the cold wind is raging, and the snowflakes are blowing head-on, making people feel the cruelty of ice skates.

   Just after dawn, Colin came to Lilian's residence.

   Mentor Atbold is here too.

   Today is the day when senior sister Lilian leaves, and they are here to see Lilian off.

   This time, Lilian chose a difficult task that was far away in order to collect the remaining school contribution points needed to exchange for meditation methods.

   Once back and forth, plus the time required for the task, I am afraid it will take at least three months.

   It’s been a long time.

  The three of them are already very familiar, so there is no politeness.

   Just chatted briefly, drank a cup of tea, and prepared to leave after Lilian packed her luggage.

  Close all the doors, and the three came to the gate.

  Standing outside the black fence gate, without the cover of the fence, the icy wind and snow are howling, making people feel as if they are in the vast fog and isolated from the world.

   With the storage ring, Lilian's dress is not too different from usual, wearing a gray robe, but wearing some witch tools.

   Without those big and small bags, the atmosphere of seeing off is a bit less sad.

   "Bon voyage." Atbold said first, with a kind face.

  Colin always felt that after going through that night, the mentor seemed to become more and more peaceful, just like an old tree lazily in the sun without contention.

  Although the mutations on his body have largely dissipated and he can move freely, Atbold is still the same as before, staying in the residence almost all the time.

  In fact, Colin also knows the reason.

  ‘The road ahead is over. '

   This is the news I learned from my mentor when I went to find him last time.

  Although the mutated dark wound on Mentor Atbold's body has been dispelled, it has caused an indelible change after all.

  Mentor, according to what he said, there should be no further possibility.

   Fortunately, the average lifespan of a second-order wizard is five hundred years, and Atbold has the blood of an elf, so his lifespan will only be longer. If he can accept it, he can be regarded as contented now.

   Not good, but not bad either.

  Although there are many thoughts in my heart, in reality, only a moment has passed.

   After Atbold finished his farewell words, Colin also said to Lilian:

   "Bon voyage senior, I wish you a smooth mission."

"Um."

   Lilian looked at her grandfather and nodded slightly, then turned her head to look at Colin, smiled after thinking about it, and said slowly:

   "I hope that by the time we meet again next time, we have already exchanged for the second-order meditation method."

  Colin was slightly taken aback.

  But after Lilian finished speaking, before he could answer, she turned around and walked into the snowstorm.

  The weather was bad today, and the public carriage was suspended. She could only go to the teleportation array on foot.

   This trip is a long way, she first needs to teleport to another city of wizards—Graham, and then continue to the mission destination from Graham City.

  Colin watched Lilian's petite figure exuding the brilliance of defending against witchcraft and gradually disappeared into the vast snowstorm, feeling a little complicated.

  The road of practice is rough and bumpy, and who can be relaxed?

  Lilian, the once powerful senior, realized that she was not much different from her previous situation until she reached the same level as her.

  Of course, I am still the same as my apprenticeship now, I am just struggling to make progress...

  Feeling the wind and snow everywhere, Colin laughed at himself in his heart, and then felt a little regretful.

   It's a pity that no matter whether it is the True Knowledge Society or the School of Learning, it is not allowed to exchange knowledge for others, nor is it allowed to transfer points.

   Silently wish senior sister a smooth trip in my heart.

  Colin restrained his thoughts, said goodbye to his mentor, and went to the laboratory of the True Knowledge Society without stopping.

  As long as you go up, one day, the sun will rush to fall on you, and the mud and shadows will also dissipate.

   When I came to the True Knowledge Association, there was no accident.

  Even though it was only seven o'clock when he arrived this time, the crystal outside the laboratory where Shelley was located was still on.

  This hard work is the first among the people he knows.

  Although he didn't know too many people...

  Close the heavy door of the laboratory, and after a simple inspection of the room as usual, Colin took out the zero-order witchcraft that he bought yesterday, and studied it carefully.

   There are a total of four zero-level witchcrafts, all of which are offensive witchcrafts of the zeroth order.

  Water Archery, Secondary Acid Splash, Air Bomb, Thorns.

   If there are no accidents, according to past experience, these witchcrafts can reach the zero-level upper level when breaking the limit for at most three times.

   As for the consumption limit point, it is not certain, but Top Breaker is only a few hundred magic stones.

  The buyout price of zero-level high-level attack witchcraft in bookstores is generally between 10,000 and 20,000 magic stones.

   This is much more profitable than selling potions and witch tools!

  If you sell potions and witch tools, you have to solve the raw materials and sell them. In addition, if you sell mid-to-low-end potions and witch tools, you have to spend a lot of time making them.

  If you take the boutique route, you have to be prepared for a long period of time in the early stage where you only have investment and no income.

  Maybe if you take the boutique route, you can indeed earn more magic stones in the later stage than selling zero-level witchcraft.

   With this skill, why doesn’t he sell first-order witchcraft?

  You must know that the more prohibited something is, the more profitable it is.

  Like potions and witchcraft, the restrictions of the Supreme Council are not great.

   This also means that there are more wizards to do, which means that the competition is high and the Lilan is low.

  Why take these more crowded tracks?

  With gold paper in hand, you can directly break the limit of witchcraft, and selling knowledge is the fastest way to earn magic stones, and it can also enrich yourself, killing two birds with one stone.

   After pondering for a moment, Colin first picked up water archery and began to learn.

  At noon, Colin waved his hand lightly, and a transparent water arrow formed from his hand in an instant, then shot out quickly, and finally hit a target not far away and shattered into drops of water.

   Zero-level witchcraft and water archery, not only the entry level, but even instant, reaching the threshold of proficiency!

  Colin smiled slightly, did not practice any more, but took out his lunch as usual and started eating.

   Breaking the limit of witchcraft to earn magic stones is a long-term solution, there is no rush.

  He intends to allocate three to five hours a day, or at most half a day, to practice these zero-order witchcraft.

   And the rest of the time is spent practicing those two disguised witchcrafts.

  Anyway, with his current speed of practicing low-level zero-level witchcraft, it won't take too long to break the limit to the upper-level zero level.

   After a while, Shelley came over on time.

  After exchanging knowledge for a while, Colin Huoran asked curiously:

   "Your Excellency Shelley, every time I come here, I see you in the laboratory. I am a little curious about how early you come here every morning?"

   "I don't need to come here." Shelley shook his head and said calmly, "I usually live here and never leave the laboratory."

   "Just live here...won't you go home?"

  Colin was taken aback for a moment. He thought that he was working hard enough by only sleeping for more than three hours a day, but he didn't expect that Shelley was the real king of rolls, and he didn't even go home? !

   "Actually, I don't have a home in Neustadt." Shelley shook his head again, and continued to add, "Renting a laboratory is much more cost-effective than renting an outside house."

   "...That's true." Colin agreed with a bite of rice.

   The best first-tier laboratory of the True Knowledge Society, the cost of renting it for a month is only 150 magic stones.

  Compared to his current monthly rent of 2,000 magic stones, it is much cheaper.

   Just wanting him to be like Shelley is obviously not enough, not to mention how Renee and the others are arranged, just take life as an example—

  The laboratory of the True Knowledge Society has no living conditions at all. There is no kitchen, bed, or even a toilet!

  There are no such facilities in the entire castle of the True Knowledge Society.

  Colin knew that this was probably to save space. After all, only first-order wizards could come to the True Knowledge Association to use the laboratory.

  And first-order wizards don't have any problem at all if they don't eat, drink or go to the bathroom for a few days.

  Body enhancement like Shelley looks somewhat like bloodline transformation, but also somewhat like elemental transformation.

  If it is an element transformation, it will be no problem to wait a month or two without eating, drinking or going to the toilet.

  So although living here is a bit difficult, there is nothing wrong with it.

  As for the problem of bathing, if you don't pursue the enjoyment of bathing, you can solve it with a cleansing technique.

  Colin subconsciously looked at Shelley.

The sorceress in front of her was wearing a black witch robe, her chin-length snowy hair fell down softly, like precious silk and satin, her exposed skin was equally fair, exuding a healthy luster, like gentle and beautiful jade, which made people feel uncomfortable without touching her. I know it must be very creamy.

   I don’t know what material Shelley used to strengthen his body. As far as this appearance alone is concerned, it is comparable to him as a first-order knight now.

   There are many wizards who use elven blood to strengthen themselves, but they may not have such good looks.

  Perhaps only Senior Lilian, who has the blood of the high elves, can match her in appearance.

  Of course, Lilian-senpai in her girlish form.

  Usually, the appearance of loli is more cute like a doll, so it is not easy to compare with the same stage.

   Closer to home, but for Colin, the daily practice of a first-order knight requires him to ensure food intake.

  A large amount of food intake, even if he can absorb most of it now, there will still be a lot of excrement...

  So the kitchen and toilet are just needed for him, and there is indeed no way to live directly in the laboratory like Shelley.

  However, Colin is not too envious, whether it is elemental transformation or other transformations, there are more or less shortcomings.

   Some of them do eat less frequently, but it doesn't mean they don't need energy, it's just not in the form of food.

   This energy supplement costs most of the time, usually more expensive than the food he needs.

  …

   On the second day after Lilian left, the blizzard showed no signs of stopping.

  The entire city of Neustadt was shrouded in heavy snow.

  Even Renee needs to pick a time when the wind and snow are calmer when she goes out to buy vegetables.

  But Colin still went to the True Knowledge Association every day without any change.

  The column of wizard level has reached its limit. Without needing to meditate, he spent almost 80% of his time practicing witchcraft, leaving only 20% for practicing knight breathing.

And 80% of the time, more than half of the time was spent on the two first-level high-level disguise witchcraft, and the rest of the time was divided into two, half of which was to study limit-breaking zero-level witchcraft, and the other half was to review Witchcraft mastered in the past.

  Days are as regular as a machine.

   This long snowstorm lasted for a whole week.

  If it was in the previous life, it would have been considered a natural disaster, but the wizards in Neustadt had already gotten used to it.

   Nothing major happened.

   Aside from freezing to death a dozen new wandering wizard apprentices that no one cared about.

   Well, actually someone does care...

   On the way to the experiment of the True Knowledge Society one day, Colin clearly saw several members wearing the badges of the Tin Holy School carefully transporting the corpses of these wizards away.

   It should be recycled as material.

  He didn't go forward to ask in detail, but the wizards of those schools talked about it with a smile, and the voice reached his ears.

  They said that the school was lucky, these wandering wizards just died in the position under the jurisdiction of the Xisheng School, so they needed to give a part to the Istar School.

  Although the Ishtar School may not be able to look up to a few corpses of apprentices, this is the rule.

   And the few of us can only count the benefits of the wandering wizard corpses left after handing in, which is a bit uncomfortable.

  Colin didn't comment much, and didn't stay too long, but just walked quickly to the laboratory of the True Knowledge Society.

  Continue to practice your own witchcraft according to the plan, without impatience or slack, as usual.

   On December 15th, the snowstorm finally stopped.

  In the early morning, the sky is dim.

  Colin just woke up from his sleep, and before he got out of bed, he saw a white ball like snow suddenly shot into his bedroom.

   Shua!

  He subconsciously cast a steel temperature-resistant force field and retreated at the same time.

  At the same time, the white ball disintegrated like gravel, and two crystals fell onto the bed, followed by a familiar voice.

   "Colin, the rewards from the Supreme Council have been distributed. I hope you are not surprised. This is to keep your identity secret."

  Listening to Noyce's words, Colin relaxed his tense body a little, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, a little dumbfounded.

  After all, anyone who just woke up and saw a strange white ball coming towards him would inevitably be startled.

  But as his tense body gradually relaxed, Colin began to have an uncontrollable expectation.

   This is a reward from the Supreme Council!

  Although he was a little impatient, he still kept a bit of vigilance. After checking the crystal and confirming that there was no problem, he slowly picked it up and began to check.

  Just a moment later, Colin opened his eyes with unbearable joy!

  Before when Noyce asked him what reward he wanted, he, who had not been in contact with the True Knowledge Society at that time, said second-level witchcraft or at least second-level meditation.

  I thought the Supreme Council would only give him one of them.

   Unexpectedly, the Supreme Council directly gave him a set of three second-level witchcraft and a complete meditation method that can reach the third level!

   Really rich and powerful.

  It's a pity... I forgot to ask for some magic stone rewards.

  Colin raised the corner of his mouth, thinking a little greedily.

   After calming down, he began to carefully examine the witchcraft and meditation ideas in his hands.
