Weird Wizarding World

  Chapter 356 Temporary Peace

  Hanxue fruit is white in color and looks a bit like a grape.

  But it is just a single piece, not like a bunch of grapes, surrounded by cold air, it is quite extraordinary at first glance.

   It was after seeing the Frost Tree Fruit that Colin finally understood what was going on with that strange feeling—this was clearly a reminder from Frost Talent!

  This grape-shaped cold snow berry should be the same as the ice flower fish ball obtained through Anando's dice in the extreme north. It is a treasure that can improve the frost talent!

   "Eighty-one thousand magic stones!" After the auction hammer fell, the sound of mechanical bidding followed.

  Collington paused for a moment, then pressed the button next to the seat.

   "Eighty-five thousand magic stones!"

  He has no reason to miss this berry that can enhance frost talent!

   "Eighty-six thousand magic stones!"

Just like the previous Extreme Cold Crystal, the market value of Frost Snow Tree Fruit is not only 80,000 magic stones. Be taller.

   Maybe around 110,000 or 20,000 magic stones?

  But such items usually have a price but no market, and the transaction prices vary, and the market value is only an approximate estimate.

   "Ninety thousand magic stones." Colin continued to increase the price without hesitation.

  Ever since the talent column appeared on the gold paper, talent improvement has always been a problem.

  It is not like witchcraft or meditation, which can be directly improved through practice.

  Each talent requires a different way to advance progress, usually more troublesome, and some even cannot find a way to improve it temporarily.

  For example, the real talent-super brain.

   But Frost talent is an exception. At least from the current point of view, the way to improve Frost talent is very simple.

   There is no need to beat around the bush and spend a lot of trouble through other ways to improve, you only need to take the same kind of Frost Treasure to improve...

   I don't know if this is because the frost talent is obtained by taking the essence of the ice spring, so the same source of magic plants or elemental treasures can also continue to strengthen this talent?

   But no matter what, you only need to spend some affordable magic stones to improve your talent. This deal couldn't be more cost-effective!

  The auction continued, and the bidding sounded one after another, and the price continued to rise.

   "120,000 magic stones!" Colin raised his hand and pressed the bidding button, without frowning.

  He has decided on this cold snow tree fruit!

  In another box.

  A plainly dressed white-browed wizard Isidor frowned slightly, and pressed the black bid button beside him.

   "121,000 magic stones!"

  Isidor held an open small wooden box in his left hand, and a strange snowflake lay in it, emitting a cold air constantly.

  ‘As expected of the crystal of extreme cold, the value of 160,000 magic stone flowers! '

  Isidor sniffed the crystal of extreme cold lightly, his brows slightly stretched, and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

   "122,000 magic stones!"

   At this time, the mechanical bidding sounded again.

  Isidor's brows met again, and he reached out and tapped the white bid button next to him:

   "123,000 magic stones!"

  The crystal of extreme cold is a good thing, and the fruit of the cold snow tree is also a good thing, he wants them all.

  In the box not far away, Colin frowned after hearing the sound of mechanical bidding.

  He paused, reached out and pressed the bid button.

   "130,000 magic stones!"

  However, after a while, the mechanical bidding sound continued.

   "131,000 magic stones!"

  Colin sighed slightly. It seemed that the rest of the bidders did not do what he wished, and were frightened off by a full increase in the price of seven thousand magic stones.

  He hesitated for a moment, then reached out to tap the bid button again.

   "140,000 magic stones!"

   Another sudden increase in the bidding price of 10,000 magic stones caused a brief moment of silence in the entire auction house.

  Just as the auctioneer was about to knock down the auction hammer to start timing, the mechanical bidding sound suddenly sounded again.

   "149,000 magic stones!"

  Isidor frowned.

  He really didn't expect that in addition to the crystal of extreme cold, there would also be the equally precious frost-like material of cold snow fruit in this auction!

  It's a pity that there are not many magic stones left in the hands of the extremely cold crystal just now, and 149,000 magic stones are the largest amount he can afford now.

   "One hundred and fifty thousand magic stones!"

  The mechanical bidding sound continued without a pause.

  Isidore sighed and lowered his hand.

  It seems that I can only miss this cold snow tree fruit.

   "150,000 magic stones once... 150,000 magic stones twice... 150,000 magic stones three times!"

when!

  The golden auction gavel hit heavily.

  In the box, Colin was slightly relieved.

   Fortunately, it was only 150,000 magic stones. If there were more, my own magic stones might not be enough.

  In fact, he just sold the Crystal of Extreme Cold, otherwise how could he produce 150,000 magic stones now...

   It can be regarded as good luck. After all, if you miss the Frost Tree Fruit this time, you don’t know how long you will have to wait for the next time you encounter a treasure that can improve your frost talent.

  Small auction items such as cold snow berries will be sent to the corresponding auctioneer by a special device when they are auctioned.

  So a moment later, when the next auction item came on stage, Colin had already taken the cold snow berries in a brown wooden box from the tray next to the seat in the box.

  Open the wooden box and take out the fruit. It feels a little cold in the hand, and the cold air is overflowing, refreshing. After looking at it for a while, Colin carefully put it away.

   In the following time, there was no magic stone in his pocket, and he completely became a spectator, looking forward to the end of the auction and taking the cold snow tree fruit, while watching the auction to gain knowledge.

   An hour later, Colin returned to the research room of the True Knowledge Society.

The commission for Walter's auction is 5%. After the deduction, the Extreme Cold Crystal brought him an income of 152,000 magic stones, but after buying the Frost Snow Tree Fruit, only two thousand.

  ‘I hope there will be no 150,000 magic stones in vain. '

  Colin took a light breath, and put the cold snow fruit into his mouth.

   A few minutes later, Colin, who had absorbed the energy, called out the golden paper.

  In the talent column, the progress behind Bingshuang has obviously taken a big step forward, a full increase of 26 points, reaching 95/100!

   It's a pity, it's still 5 o'clock to break the limit!

  Colin sighed slightly, otherwise, this frost talent would probably become the fastest limit-breaking talent in his history!

  Looking at the black characters on the gold paper, Colin even felt a little impulsive and wanted to go to the extreme north again, to see if he could use Anando's dice to find some witchcraft that could promote the growth of frost talent!

  But after pondering for a moment, he still gave up such an idea.

  For the same reason, the result of Anando's dice is really unpredictable, and the improvement that the frost talent can bring to oneself is still unknown.

   Still proceed step by step, focusing on witchcraft and wizard cultivation is the kingly way.

  However, in terms of feeling, the Cold Snow Tree Fruit this time is actually not inferior to the transparent ice flower that I took for the first time, but the improvement progress is only a little more than half of the latter.

  ‘Sure enough, with the improvement of the progress and the increase of the frequency of consumption, the effects of these treasures will gradually weaken. '

  Colin understood clearly, and put away the gold paper.

   Time passed by in a flash.

  After the big action in the city that day, it seemed that there would be silence after a long time, and the days in the city suddenly became extraordinarily peaceful.

   Even the war situation has ushered in a strange stagnation.

   "Neustadt City Daily (March 1 edition

   "—There has been no fighting on the front line for five consecutive days."

   "It is reported that since Operation Crimson on February 17th in the Yanam calendar, Shenmingyi took the initiative to shrink the front line, and the conflicts on the front line have been decreasing day by day. Until today, there has been no battle on the front line for five consecutive days..."

  In the study, Colin put down the daily newspaper in his hand, and picked up an announcement from the Supreme Council—

   "Proclamation of the Supreme Council (March 1 edition

  "...The Supreme Council issued the latest instructions: the current frontline situation is stable, we should continue to consolidate the defense line, preserve the existing advantages, and accumulate strength..."

  Colin frowned slightly, flipped through the drawer and took out the announcement from the Supreme Council yesterday.

   On the brown paper, it clearly says—

   "The influence of Operation Crimson is still continuing, and the battle line of the gods continues to shrink, and it may usher in a counterattack moment!"

   Shaking his head, Colin couldn't understand the council's decision.

  Yesterday he just said that he was about to start a counterattack, but today he suddenly changed his tone... It seems that he no longer intends to pursue the victory.

  War... seems to be temporarily caught in an eerie peacetime?

  Colin put down the announcement and didn't think about it.

   The reason behind the decision of the upper class of the wizard is not something he, a small second-level wizard, can know.

  Looking at his pocket watch, it was getting late. Colin gathered the newspaper, stood up, and prepared to go to the Association of True Knowledge to practice witchcraft as usual.

  After intensive practice these days, he faintly felt that he had made some progress in fireball and summoning fire elements.

  At least he is now able to actively control whether the overlapping effect occurs when casting these two witchcrafts at the same time.

  However, before Colin walked out of the door, he ushered in an unexpected visitor.

   "Good morning, Colin." Lilian, who was wearing a gray and white witch robe, smiled and greeted Colin who was pushing the door open.

   "Senior Lilian, have you returned from the task?"

  Colin looked in surprise at the lovely blonde girl in front of her, wearing a tailor-made miniature witch robe. The petite Lilian looked like an exquisite doll.

  Colin immediately withdrew his leg that was about to step out of the door, and raised his hand to beckon Lilian to walk in.

   "Is the senior sister's mission going well?"

  The two walked through the front yard and into the living room, and Colin directed to Renee who was not far away: "Renee, go prepare some tea and snacks."

   "It went well." Lilian stroked her hair, pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just that the process was a bit thrilling. If you want, sit down later, and I can talk to you slowly."

   "That's right." Lilian turned her head to look at Colin again, and asked, "I heard from my grandfather that you also did a compulsory task of the school some time ago? Is everything going well?"

  There was concern in Lilian's eyes. As an elf hybrid, she knew how wizards who did not join the faction would be treated in the school.

  From the timing, it is easy to see that Colin's second mandatory mission did not come normally.

  Even though she had learned from Atbold that Colin had returned safely, she was still a little worried and couldn't help but ask one more question.

   "Everything went well." Colin looked at Lilian, nodded with a smile, paused, and added, "It's just that the process was a bit tortuous."

  Colin thought of Joyce again, and the inexplicable gaze he felt in Karalli City.

  However, it has been half a month since he returned to Neustadt, and the Hidos family has not made any new moves. It seems that Joyce should not have left any behind.

   This matter should be temporarily over.

   "Twists and turns, then I'm interested to hear about it." Lilian looked at Colin's indifferent smile and said with a smile, feeling relieved.

   "...No problem." Colin paused for a moment and nodded.

  Although you can't tell Lilian about Joyce, you can't tell Lilian about Shelley either.

  But there was only one snow monster in the original mission plan, but in the end it was discovered that there were two. What we saw and heard in Gubei Village, those special igloos, and the boy who lost his wife are all interesting enough.

  At least Lilian seemed to be listening with gusto. After hearing about Robin, her complexion became a little heavy.

   "In this world, there are actually many things that are destined as early as birth." After a while, Lilian said.

   "That's true." Colin nodded in agreement, thought for a while and then said: "The only thing we can do is go up, and going up may not be able to get rid of the bad start, or it may not be able to break the shackles that were born.

  But in most cases, we can at least go up one point, and if we go up one point, we really go up one point. The real peace of mind lies in this seemingly difficult upswing. "

   "You're right." Lilian smiled, paused, and said, "I just went to the school yesterday to exchange for the second-level Xi Shengming ideas. Within half a month, I should try to advance."

   "I wish you all the best, senior. You will succeed once." Colin picked up the black tea on the table and respected Lilian.

   "Well, wish me luck." Lilian pursed her lips, picked up the black tea, and took a sip.

  The two put down the black tea cup, and the white porcelain cup collided with the wooden tabletop covered with the tablecloth, making a dull sound.

   Lilian looked out the window and suddenly sighed:

   "Just advanced to the second level, I will start to worry about the third level of knowledge... The journey of a wizard is really endless."

  Colin followed her gaze and looked out.

   I don’t know when, it started to snow outside, the goose feathers and white snow fell one after another, making the world even more desolate.

  Colin didn't answer, and remained silent, but there was expectation in his eyes.

  The pinnacle of the wizard, one day he will see it with his own eyes.

  The two looked away and looked at each other. Lilian stroked her hair and began to talk about her experience of this mission.

  Colin sat across from the sofa, listening quietly.

  The firewood burning in the nearby fireplace was crackling.
