Weird Wizarding World

  Chapter 399 Loen Royal Family

  When Colin arrived at the White Tower Hall, many wizards had already gathered here.

  The stern-faced wizard Erwin stood alone on the front high platform, wearing a luxurious white satin witch robe, holding a gem-studded scepter in his hand.

   And at the front of the stage stood three second-tier wizards, all male, with strange looks.

  However, from the badges and uniforms on their bodies, Colin still recognized that they were wizards from the Neustadt City Law Enforcement Team.

  ‘The wizard of the law enforcement team...Why did he come here? '

   "Colin, come here." Wilbur lowered his voice and waved to him.

  It was only then that Colin discovered that although the wizards stationed like them were all standing in the audience, they were also divided into two distinct sides.

   Standing on the left side, the strange badges on Colin's body are no longer unfamiliar to Colin in the past two years—they are wizards from the wizarding school in the Kingdom of Loen and the royal family of Loen.

   On the right side, standing there is a school wizard like Wilbur from Neustadt.

  Colin paused for a while, and walked slowly to Wilbur on the right.

   "The people have almost arrived. If the three of you have anything to say, you can start now."

   After a while, Erwin stared at the three wizards of the law enforcement team in front of him, and said lightly.

   "Okay, Sir Irwin."

  The leader was a young wizard with a gentle expression. He nodded politely at Erwin, then walked up to the high platform, and started to say to the wizards in the hall:

   "Sorry to call you here so suddenly. I am Huntington, from the School of... Istar."

  Huntington looked around at the wizards in the audience, especially those wizards from the school of Neustadt who paused for a moment.

  Seeing that many wizards looked surprised and looked more respectful, he nodded in satisfaction.

  Most of the wizards stationed in the Loen Kingdom are from the affiliated schools of the Istar School. To some extent, the name of Istar here is more useful than the law enforcement team.

  Colin couldn't help being startled.

   "Your Excellency may not be aware that many members of the Istar School are also members of the law enforcement team." Wilbur, who was on the side, noticed the change in his expression, and added without surprise.

  Although this is not a secret, the Istar School and the Law Enforcement Team will not spread it around, so not many people know about it.

   "This is the first time I've heard of it..." Colin nodded slightly.

  Wilbur wanted to say a few more words, but Huntington on the high platform started talking again, so he also closed his mouth.

  On the high platform, Huntington continued to speak:

   "This time I came here under the order of the law enforcement team to track down the Frost Phantom, and I called you all to ask if you have noticed any suspicious traces of Frost Creation recently?"

  Colin's face remained unchanged, but his heart sank subconsciously.

   "By the way, the Frost Phantom has not been introduced yet."

   "There is not much information about it, but its appearance should be humanoid, its attack method is similar to that of ice elements, and its strength is between the second-level advanced and the third-level."

   "Have you found any suspicious traces?" Huntington continued to ask.

  The hall was silent, and all the wizards shook their heads.

   "No..." Huntington sighed in disappointment, and suddenly looked at the wizard of the Loen Kingdom on the left inadvertently and asked again:

   "How about everyone here, have you noticed any abnormal signs?"

"No."

"not at all…"

  Hunting paused for a moment, then continued to ask:

   "Then is there any wizard among you who has practiced frost witchcraft?"

  His question stunned the wizards of the Loen Kingdom, and Erwin next to him couldn't help but frown.

  Elemental witchcraft is a major category of witchcraft, and frost, like flame, is the most common type.

  So, basically as long as you are a wizard, there is a high probability that you will know one or two hands of frost or fire witchcraft.

   "Huntington, do you mean that the wizards of the Loen Kingdom have some kind of suspicion?" Erwin asked in a deep voice.

  The atmosphere in the hall of the White Tower suddenly became solemn.

"I'm sorry, wizard Erwin." Huntington smiled, "Maybe I didn't make it clear, what I actually want to ask is whether the wizards present are doing research on frost elements, or are there existences who are good at frost witchcraft .

   Of course, not only the wizards of the Loen Kingdom, but also the rest of the wizards stationed. "

  Huntington turned his head and looked at Colin again, and asked calmly:

   "Among you, is there any wizard who meets the conditions I mentioned?"

   Except for a very few wizards who deliberately hid it, the wizards present probably knew what kind of witchcraft each other was good at.

  So, if he is really good at frost witchcraft, obviously he can't hide it.

   "Master Huntington, I am better at frost witchcraft..."

   Soon, a short wizard stood up with a dark face.

   "Very good." Huntington nodded slightly, then turned to look at the wizard of the Loen Kingdom.

  Colin keenly noticed that a fair-skinned female wizard subconsciously wanted to stand up, but she was quietly pulled away by her companion and pointed to the front.

  Following their gazes, Wizard Erwin stared blankly at the Wizard of the Kingdom.

  Hunnington didn't seem to be aware of this, or didn't care.

   It seems to be just going through a process perfunctorily.

   "I've finished what I want to ask, Your Excellency Erwin." Huntington turned his head and said politely:

   Erwin nodded expressionlessly, and then looked at the wizards and announced, "If there is nothing else, you can leave now."

   "That... you have to stay, I need to ask you a few questions."

   Huntington looked at the short wizard who stood up before and said suddenly, the latter nodded with a bitter face.

   Follow the flow of people out of the White Tower hall.

  Colin and his party continued to walk outside the White Tower, while the wizards of the Loen Kingdom who usually stayed in the White Tower embarked on another road.

  The wizards kept silent tacitly. They waited until they walked out of the White Tower, and finally couldn't help but start talking.

   "Have you heard of Frost Phantom?"

"No…"

   "Is it some new monster?"

   "Don't know..."

   "Your Excellency Colin, have you heard of the Frost Phantom?" Wilbur asked suddenly.

   "No." Colin shook his head calmly.

   "Sigh, the Kingdom of Loen is still too remote." Wilbur sighed, and found another topic to join the chat with the wizards in front of him.

   "Speaking of which, Heyman is really unlucky."

   "Hahaha yeah!"

   "Who made him really good at frost witchcraft!"

  Colin walked silently as usual, and the wizard next to him was already used to his appearance, so he didn't think there was anything unusual about it.

  But in fact, Colin is currently remotely controlling the six Frost Shadows to stay away from the Loen Kingdom.

   "It's been two years since the incident of the Frost Phantom, why is Loen Kingdom still here?" Colin was puzzled.

  …

  In the hall of the White Tower.

   "Didn't you conduct research on frost knowledge recently..." Huntington touched his chin, smiled at Heyman and said, "Okay, that's all I want to ask, you can go now."

   "Okay, Lord Huntington." Heyman was visibly relieved, saluted respectfully, and left quickly.

  After he left, only the three of Huntington and Wizard Erwin remained in the White Tower hall.

   "Your Excellency Erwin, how is the harvest this year? Are the crops strong?" Huntington asked suddenly.

   "It's only April now, and the autumn harvest will be around September and October." Erwin said with a calm face.

  The group of wizards in Huntington, who grew up in the city of wizards, have completely divorced from production... However, the food for the entire city of Neustadt, and even the Kingdom of Neustadt, mainly comes from the land of the Kingdom of Loen.

  The importance of the food here is needless to say.

  Hunnington didn't feel embarrassed, and changed the subject:

   "The so-called Frost Phantom appeared for the first time two years ago, and it is also the first 'polluted creation' recorded in the city of Neustadt."

   Erwin frowned slightly: "What do you mean by polluting creations?"

   "Your Excellency Erwin should have heard of the 'Wizard Research Management Regulations' promulgated in the city of Neustadt." Hanging paused and said: "And this decree was born precisely because of the emergence of polluting creations."

   "The Adams family was the first to discover this abnormal situation and reported it to the Supreme Council. Since there was no definite evidence, the Supreme Council did not issue the bill immediately at the beginning."

  “However, after careful investigation, monitoring, and law enforcement teams frequently reporting out-of-control cases caused by witchcraft research, the Supreme Council finally issued a decree.

  It was not until recently that new discoveries proved the original speculation of the Adams family. "

  Erwen stroked the scepter in his hand, feeling a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a reason behind the promulgation of the regulations on wizard research in Neustadt.

   "But it's a pity that we haven't been able to figure out the reason for the appearance of the pollution creation. We only found that it may be related to the filthy raving."

  Huntington sighed slightly, and looked at Erwin again: "Come back to business, the Frost Phantom is the earliest batch recorded in Neustadt City, and it is also one of the most typical pollution creations."

   "And unlike other polluting creations, they don't have much wisdom. They only know **** wizards crazily. Although Frost Phantom also has an inexplicable hatred for wizards, it knows how to hide itself and is very cunning.

   Has been missing for the past two years, but each time the wizard dies. "

   "So, the Supreme Council thinks it is extremely special, and it may be able to find the root cause of the pollution creation."

   After saying this, Heng Yan paused and continued:

   "As for the rest, I can't say more.

   If Your Excellency Erwin notices any traces of the Frost Phantom, please report it to the law enforcement team immediately. "

   Erwin was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, "I see."

  He had no expression on his face, but he was secretly puzzled.

  Huntington's attitude is really good, and... it seems that he really only came for the Phantom of Frost?

   "I have to go to the next kingdom, so I won't bother you much." Huntington smiled and was about to leave.

  But before taking two steps, he patted his head, turned his head and continued:

   "By the way, I almost forgot, the master of the school asked me to give you this."

  Huntington took out an exquisite golden token from the storage ring and handed it to Erwin.

  Erwen was slightly taken aback. He recognized that this was the admission token of the Istar School, and it was also the highest rank.

   While thinking about it, he finally understood why the wizard in front of him had such a good attitude before, and it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

  Hunnington lowered his voice and whispered in Erwin's ear:

   "Your Excellency Erwin, the Loen family has lost the inheritance of the meditation method of high-level wizards, and it is impossible for third-level wizards to appear again."

   "And the Loen Kingdom, as the golden ear of wheat in Neustadt, the family that controls it, if it only has second-level wizards, it will not be able to convince the public...Your Excellency, you should think about it carefully."

   Huntington left after saying this.

   Only the gray-bearded Erwin was left alone, holding the golden token, sitting with a gloomy face.

  …

   "Actually, a long time ago, there were third-tier wizards in the Loen royal family, and there were more than one."

   Wilbur drank black tea and said with some emotion.

   "Could it be that he died in that demon tide hundreds of years ago?" Colin asked in a daze.

   "Yes, there were three third-tier wizards, but they all died in the demon tide."

  Colin raised his eyebrows.

   When investigating information about the demon tide in the Catacombs before, he knew that three wizards of the Loen royal family died during the demon tide that lasted for three years.

  But I didn't expect that the three recorded wizards who fell were all third-tier wizards!

   "Fortunately, the demon tide has passed for a long time, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to come here." Wilbur said.

   "I think that Huntington seems to have some contradictions with Wizard Erwin?" Colin thought for a while, and then asked suddenly.

Wilbur put down the black tea, "Lord Huntingdon... It's not that he had conflicts with wizard Erwin, but that the Ruen family always felt that part of the reason why all their third-tier wizards fell during the demon tide back then was that The wizards headed by the Istar school deliberately targeted the cause."

   "Deliberately targeting...?"

  Colin was stunned, but recalling the pure-blood family he had seen before, he suddenly felt that it was not so surprising.

"Right, I also think it's impossible." Looking at his stunned expression, Wilbur continued, "I think it's because Wizard Erwin and the others thought too much. After all, in that demonic wave, the wizards of the school also suffered heavy losses. , Several third-tier wizards also died."

  Colin didn't continue this topic, chatted for a while, got up and left after insinuating some information about Huntington from Wilbur's mouth.

  Although Wilbur didn't know much, it was enough for him to deduce that the purpose of Huntington and others coming here was probably not because of the Frost Phantom.

  Coincidentally, when Colin just walked out of Wilbur's house, he saw Huntingdon and his party flying away from the White Tower.

   This made him more certain of his inference, and his worry eased a little.

  'It seems that it wasn't the Shadow of Frost that attracted Huntington and the others... But yes, the Shadow of Frost has only been used against the Wood family until now, and it has not shown its figure, so it is unlikely to be exposed. '

  'Hey, there are always advantages and disadvantages in everything. At the beginning, Frost Phantom took the blame for me, and now I have to worry about the investigation of Frost Phantom. '

  Colin shook his head dumbly, and walked quickly towards the house.

   According to the plan, it's time for meditation.

   I don't know if it's an illusion... I always feel that after advancing to the second-level knight, there seems to be some changes in the wizard.
