Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 125 Leaving the Nest (5k)

   Walking on the road, Colin walked briskly and couldn't hide his joy.

  Denglam Shipyard is more efficient than expected.

   It was originally planned to be completed in half a month, but it has been completed in only 13 days.

   Walking on the road, he inexplicably recalled the feeling of picking up a car in his previous life.

   The mood of carrying the boat... In his opinion, it is somewhat similar.

   But no doubt more excited.

   After all, this ship is much more important than the car in the previous life, both in terms of price and meaning.

  Denglan Shipyard is not far from the hotel. They walk there. They only need to cross two intersections and turn another corner to reach it.

   walked fast all the way, and soon reached the first intersection.

   "Master?" Renee stopped and looked at him for instructions.

   "Well." Colin nodded to understand, and ordered: "Go, remember to let Maud pack up."

   Renee nodded and walked quickly in the other direction of the intersection.

   And Colin looked back and continued to lead Demi and the staff of Denglan Shipyard forward.

   He has packed everything into a storage ring.

  If everything goes well, he wants to finish lifting the ship and set off directly from the dock connected to the sea at the Denglan Shipyard.

   As for the fuel on board.

  Denglam Shipyard also has coal for sale, and he has a lot of coal in his storage ring...don't worry.

  …

  Tattoo——

   On the other side, a guard wearing a steel armor with golden patterns trotted all the way down the street.

   The metal armors collided and rubbed against each other, making a clanging sound.

   After a while, the clanging sound gradually stopped.

   He stopped for a while at the entrance of the hotel, looked up to confirm that he had found the wrong hotel, and then strode in.

   "This... Sir, what's the matter?" The waitress in the lobby on the first floor asked nervously when she saw his aggressive approach.

   "Is there a wizard with a maid and a little girl staying in your hotel?" The guard glanced at her and asked in a deep voice.

   "...Yes!" The waitress pondered for a moment, and quickly replied respectfully.

   In this world, hotels do not have the word to protect the privacy of their guests.

   "Go and report to that lord, saying that the golden knight of the Bananka school brought news of the school to ask for advice." The golden knight said lightly.

   He didn't take off the helmet, but his voice was still clear, as if it wasn't blocked by the helmet.

   "Okay..." The waitress nodded subconsciously in a panic and agreed.

   But soon her face froze, she seemed to remember something, and stumblingly explained: "But my lord, the wizard just went out not long ago..."

   "Where did you go?"

   "...I don't know, my lord." The waitress shook her head.

   They are just inns. If you ask the guests when they will return to the inn and when they will go out, they may be able to answer.

   But if you want to know where the guests go after they leave the inn...it's a bit of a tough guy.

The   Golden Knight also knew this, so he didn't ask any further questions, he just turned and left neatly.

   He would also ask to inform other official wizards.

  …

   "Are you satisfied?" The mustache salesman asked with a smile, pointing to the white ship moored on the dock beside him.

   "It looks good." Colin smiled lightly.

  The main tone of the appearance of the Petrel is white, and the streamlined body is as graceful as a dolphin.

   "I'll take you up there to take a closer look."

   "Hmm." Colin nodded.

   Moustache sales stepped on the gangway of the ship's side wall and took him step by step on the Shanghai Swallow.

   The first thing that catches the eye is the huge white chimney at the top of the foremost ship building of the Haiyan, which is a necessary facility for the ventilation and exhaust of the boiler inside the ship.

   Such equipment distinguishes the Haiyan from the modern yachts of the previous life, showing a more unique temperament... A bit rough, but not rough, but full of power.

  Colin rubbed the white-painted steel railing.

   In the previous life, the steam engine was replaced by the internal combustion engine before it could develop to such a mature level.

   Those modern small ships have rarely seen such chimneys.

   After all, an internal combustion engine that uses diesel gasoline as fuel does not need such a large exhaust port…

  Colin shook his head to drive away the memory.

  The ship building above the deck has a total of two floors.

   Down the chimney is the small captain's room, and below is the living room.

   The master and guest bedrooms, as well as some other function rooms, are located below the deck.

  The deck of the Petrel is not the traditional yellow teak deck, but a layer of gray steel plate with anti-slip treatment.

   At this moment, it is empty, there is no sofa hanging chair, and there is no parasol.

  The main purpose of the ships at sea in this world is to sail safely, and their comfort is naturally inferior to the pleasure yachts of the previous life.

   Of course, he couldn't even think of having fun at the dangerous sea.

   Just when he was about to go downstairs with the mustache salesman, an employee of Denglan Shipyard got on the Haiyan.

   He stepped aside to reveal Renee and Maud.

   "Master, Mr. Maud has come over." Renee said respectfully.

   "Lord Colin." Maud next to him also greeted Colin respectfully.

   "Yeah." Colin nodded and looked at Maud.

   He had specifically told Renee to tell Maud to bring everything.

   But now it seems that Maud is just carrying a bag.

   This is either too few things, or like him, he has a storage witch.

   turned around and continued to walk down the deck.

  Maud stepped forward and took the initiative to say:

   "My lord, I thought you would change your mind."

"……What's the meaning?"

  Maud paused for a while and wondered:

   "Didn't the adults of the Bananka School look for you?"

   "Yesterday afternoon, the Bananka School issued a notice for some reason and began to actively recruit wild wizards.

   Anyone who is above the peak apprenticeship can join the Bananka School, and the best of them can also become full members of the school! "

   "For an official wizard like you, sir, it stands to reason that they should take the initiative to send someone to contact you..."

  Colin didn't rush to ask, but slowed down, turning his head and motioning for Renee to come forward and listen to the explanation of the mustache sales.

   He came to the end with Maud.

   "The Bananka School has made such a big move, what happened recently?" Colin asked in a low voice with a calm expression.

"This..." Mo De frowned and shook his head: "Sir, I have been at home recently. I just finished digesting the medicinal power of the golden four-leaf clover, and took the opportunity to advance to the intermediate apprentice. The news is a little blocked... I haven't heard anything special. things happened.”

   Colin nodded, feeling a little strange in his heart.

   thought for a while in his heart, and then asked Maud who was beside him:

   "Has the Bananka School recruited wild wizards like this before?"

"No, my lord." Maud shook his head affirmatively, "I have lived on Bananka Island for nearly sixty years, and I have never seen a school do this. In the past, it was difficult for a wild wizard to join the Bananka School. To the sky..."

   "Yeah." Colin was even more confused, and he couldn't understand.

   From simple logical reasoning, we can see that——

The    Bananka School recruited wild wizards on the island, apparently because more wizards were needed.

  Conversely on this basis, it means that the school lacks wizards.

  How could the powerful Bananka School suddenly lack wizards?

   frowned slightly.

  Teng——

   The sound of flames blazing sounded.

   "...Are you saying that this stove doesn't need to be able to control the firepower freely, and it doesn't need fuel?"

   "Yes, you can freely control the firepower, but it's not that you don't need fuel, it's just that the fuel is magic stones. Of course, it doesn't consume much..."

   Far away mustache sales are introducing Renee to the kitchen.

  Colin retracted his gaze and continued to think.

   Generally speaking, if the school wants to increase the number of wizards, it usually chooses to cultivate from an early age.

   Only wizards who have been trained since childhood can be considered members of the school.

   Few schools would choose to recruit wild wizards directly, even if they were recruited, it was only a small amount of recruiting.

   After all, although this might temporarily expand its power, in the long run, it will do more harm than good.

  Unless, there is something that requires more people...

   For example, discovering a new island that needs to be expanded, or... encountering some external crisis!

   He inexplicably remembered the matter of recruiting him at the trade market Crayton six days ago.

as well as……

   The skinny believer who was captured alive.

   "Sir, the boat has already taken you through it, are you satisfied?"

   Moustache sales suddenly asked.

  Colin shook his head, recovered from his thoughts, and no longer delved into it.

   Now that he has to leave Bananka Island, no matter what happens on the island... it has nothing to do with him.

   He looked up.

  Though the thoughts are short, the reality has passed for a while.

   Now they have walked past the kitchen to the steam boiler room on the ground floor.

   It is a neat and orderly cool-colored steel pipe, and the mechanical gears next to it shine brightly. A thin layer of lubricating oil applied on it makes it less rigid and more feminine.

   Although it has not started at this time.

   But just by imagination, you can guess that when this mechanical heart is activated, it will be a shocking appearance.

"Can."

   Colin retracted his gaze and nodded.

   "Is there anything else that needs to be modified?" Beard sales continued to ask.

"there is none left."

"Okay, my lord." The mustache salesman nodded, paused and said, "Do you have a fixed berth at the port, sir, we can help you drive it there and park it properly... Or you can also choose to temporarily There is Denglan Shipyard, and the temporary storage fee is one magic stone a day."

   "No, I already understand the operation of the Haiyan, and I will handle it myself." Colin shook his head.

   "...Okay, then I won't bother you." The mustache salesman left knowingly.

   And Colin also took Renee and the others along the aisle, walked towards the deck, and finally came to the captain's room at the highest point.

   "Is everything done?" He turned his head and said to Renee and the others behind him.

   "It's done, and everything is brought." Renee replied, holding Demi.

   "I'm ready too." Maud quickly agreed.

   "Well, ready to go." Colin said as he turned his head, reached out and pressed the light blue crystal fixed on the table to invoke magic power.

  OM——

   The light blue light lit up, casting a mysterious atmosphere over the entire captain's room.

   "Welcome to Siren's Heart, Captain." A mechanical voice sounded in the captain's room.

   This is not a towering or something, just a fixed sorcery device that assists ship manipulation.

   "Start the Haiyan and preheat the boiler." Colin's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he said softly.

   "Okay, Captain."

  Kacha——

   The hull shook slightly, and the mechanical gears peculiarly snapped and turned.

And then.

   The mustache salesman by the dock greeted him in the distance.

  Kang——

   The gray steel gate in front of the Haiyan slowly rose, and white light poured in, brightening the originally dark dock.

   After the eyes get used to it, what comes into view is an extremely open landscape.

  The clear blue sky stretches as far as the eye can see, with only a few white clouds dotted, while the deep blue sea is equally vast, with only a few ships inlaid.

   Seeing this scene, Colin could not help but let out a small breath, his expression excited.

   did not hesitate any longer.

   "Set sail!" he said in a deep voice.

Although the tone of    was calm, it could not hide the anticipation and tension.

  Boom.

   under his orders.

  The steam engine roared suddenly, and plumes of black-gray smoke drifted from the thick chimney at the top of the Petrel.

  The paddle at the tail began to rotate slowly, and after a while, white water splashes were stirred up.

  The boat also moved gradually.

  The breeze was blowing, and Colin turned to look back.

  Under the steel dome of the shipyard, the mustache salesman is standing respectfully by the dock and waving goodbye to them.

   Overlooking from a height, the white petrel seems to be just like its name, a vigorous petrel, flying from a narrow nest to the vast sea...

  *

  *

  *

   An unknown sea area.

  唳——

   A white seabird chirped and fell to the white ship railing below to stop briefly.

   For them, this boat is a rare place to rest on this endless sea.

   Renee withdrew her gaze and stared at the sea on the side of the ship.

   Not long.

  A figure gradually emerged under the sea.

   In the next second, the water burst out, causing a burst of water!

   The resting seabird next to him was frightened, flapping his wings and fluttering away.

  The figure descended into the air under the influence of inertia.

After   , it did not fall to the deck under the action of gravity, but continued to float.

   "Master." Renee greeted him.

   Colin looked down at her and nodded slightly.

   Maybe I face the same scene every day, and I always feel that the time at sea flies fast.

  Unconsciously, today is already the fifteenth day he left Bananka Island.

   He controlled his body and slowly landed on the deck below with a calm expression on his face.

   But in the bottom of my heart, I recalled inexplicably after they left Bananka Island.

   I heard a loud noise from nowhere the next morning.

   Somewhere, he always felt that the loud noise was inseparable from Bananka Island...

   After all, such a loud noise, apart from the natural beasts and strange factors, in this world, perhaps only second-order and above wizards...or gods can cause it.

  Unreasonable tension enveloped him, so during this time, he practiced harder.

   Even the progress of the Oran Flying Dive that he just bought has been practiced by him to the point where it can be instantly cast.

  I think it won't be long before I can break the limit.

   After careful calculation, it has been more than a month since he left Blackstone Island... Now his strength has improved a lot.

With a thought of   , he called out the golden paper.

   Pale golden particles converge.

"Owner."

   But Renee, who was beside him, interrupted him.

   "Mr. Maud is looking for you."

   "Um...call him over."

   He paused, nodded slightly, used a cleansing technique on his body to clean up the water stains, and then walked towards the living room on the first floor not far away.

   Came to the living room and sat down.

  Colin leaned on the soft sofa and carefully read the information on the golden paper line by line.

  【Name: Colin Leonard】

  [Level: Senior Wizard Apprentice (3/100); Ultimate Knight (76/100)]

   [Meditation: Apprenticeship Ring Meditation II↑ (100/100); Solar Breathing II (63/100)]

[Witchcraft: zero-level magic: slightly; zero-level witchcraft: steel force field (23/100); arrow shooting (golden); high temperature tolerance I↑ (100/100); fireball I↑ (100/100 ); Swiftness I (76/100); Oran Flying (62/100); Detect Evil I (2/100); Purify Fel I (3/100)]

  [Skill: Primary Witchcraft Crystal Making; Bloodline Transformation I (33/100)]

  【Talent: Strong Life I (3/100)】

  [Breakpoint: 0]

On the    and other ranks, there are not many changes from before, and he is still a senior wizard apprentice and the ultimate knight.

   It's just that the progress of the wizard level is slow...

   Looks like it’s time to push the limits again for circle meditation.

   But he hesitated.

  In the beginning, I didn't break the limit for the ring meditation method, because the magic stone in my hand was limited, and I chose to break the limit for the talent and life.

   And after that, it was because he planned to learn more about advanced formal wizard-related knowledge, and then weighed it.

   During this time, he was indeed researching knowledge related to advanced formal wizards.

   In general, in order to successfully advance to an official wizard, special pre-training is required, and this pre-training is related to whether or not to successfully break through the official wizard.

   The Circle Meditation does not have this part.

   This also means that even if he continues to break the circle meditation method, I am afraid that it will not increase his strength qualitatively, at most add some magic power.

   Rubbing the smooth armrests of the brown leather sofa, Colin remembered another message.

   Previously at the auction house, the conversation between the other two wizard apprentices made him understand that when a formal wizard joins the school, he still needs to consider whether the meditation method is suitable.

   But apprentice wizards don't have to think about that.

   Combining with the advanced knowledge recently learned, this is obviously because the wizard apprentice can also change the meditation method more freely.

   And once you become an official wizard, you can no longer change the meditation method at will.

   But anyway.

  If he can rejoin the new school, he may need to change the meditation method, which is obviously no doubt.

   In other words, even if he breaks the limit of the circle meditation method at this time, I am afraid that he will have to change the meditation method later.

   He sighed.

   This is really a waste.

   Now, the number of breaking points required to break the limit of the circle meditation method has reached one thousand... This is not a small number.

   After weighing, Colin decided to put it on hold for the time being, or to break the limits of high temperature tolerance and fireball first.

   As for the ring meditation method, we should wait until the Dassia Continent to figure out the specific situation before making plans.

   After all, there is still more than half a month's voyage from Si Ya Continent.

   "Lord Colin."

   After making these decisions, Maud just arrived.

   He knocked on the door and shouted respectfully from outside.

   "Please come in."

   Colin put away the golden paper and beckoned him in.
