Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 148 Arrival in Neustadt

  The crowd lined up in front of the city gate.

   Either on foot, or on horseback, and a small number of them ride special monsters, and carriages are naturally indispensable.

  Of course, the most eye-catching ones are often those steel steam locomotives with black smoke.

  The tall gray-white city wall has three gates, one big, two small, and three small.

   The largest gate in the middle is closed, and only the small gates on both sides are open.

   Although the two small doors are small doors, they seem to be at least seven or eight meters wide and ten meters high.

   Line up several lines in front of them.

   The number of teams on the left is significantly less than that on the right, about one tenth.

   After a little scrutiny, Colin understood what was going on.

  The crowd on the left is either wearing witch robes or riding special monsters...should all be wizards.

   took Renee and the others to the small door on the left, and he chose the shortest queue and lined up.

   Follow the direction of the slow movement of the queue and look towards the front.

   There, several silver figures were checking the wizards who entered the city one by one.

   Helmets, breastplates, leg armors, etc., are closely connected, as if they were one body...somewhat similar to the patrol knights seen on Bananka Island before.

  If it weren't for the shape of the classic knight armor...it looks like a robot in a sci-fi world.

  These are obviously the creations of wizards...just don't know how strong they are.

   Look at the crowd again.

   Most of them look like they should be wizards like him from far away.

   Some should have no storage rings, and used horses and animals to carry large and small bags of supplies.

   One of the most striking is a caravan in the middle of the team.

   Several unknown monsters with triangular crowns, tall and tall, in terms of shoulder height, they should be at least three or four meters, and they look like an enlarged version of a scalper.

   pulls specially made iron frame carts behind them.

  The outside of the iron frame car was covered with a layer of black cloth, so it was not clear what was inside.

   Looking back, Colin continued to follow the team.

   After a while, it was his turn to enter the city.

   "Pass." The silver armored knight stared at him, his voice mechanically indifferent.

   Colin frowned slightly and shook his head.

   "Go ahead and check the registration." The Silver Armor Knight said without pausing, pointing behind him.

"Next."

   Renee pulled Demi forward.

  The knight in silver armor raised his head and looked at Renee and the two of them, a gleam of light flashed in the pupils of his visor, and then asked, "Mortal?"

   The voice has not changed, it is still mechanically indifferent.

   "She's with me." Colin explained first, "So are the other three."

   "Yeah." The silver armored knight glanced at Dreiser and the others and nodded, "Let's go and register together."

   Colin greeted Dreiser and the others and walked to the registration desk.

   There is not much information that needs to be registered, mainly basic information such as name.

   After he paid a magic stone for each person, the Shining Armor Knight took out the newly made pass from the pure black machine next to him and handed it to him.

   The black pass, only the size of a thumb, is in the shape of a square with rounded corners, and a small hole is opened on it, which should be convenient for carrying through the rope.

   Walk into the city.

  The noisy voice came.

   is a bustling commercial street.

   Neat and spacious.

  There are all kinds of shops densely arranged on both sides. On the roadside, there are also some small vendors with wooden carts...mostly snacks.

  The tangy aroma came.

  Colin stopped slowly, turned his head to look at Dreiser and others who were looking around curiously, and said:

   "Eril, take a break here, have lunch, and then we'll move on."

  Although we have arrived at Meredith Kingdom, it is still quite a long way from Meredith City, the center of the kingdom.

   "Okay, Lord Colin." Ariel slowly stepped forward on a horse and responded.

  Dreiser followed behind, keeping a distance.

  Colin looked away, looking around, looking for a suitable place to eat.

   He will send Eliel and the others to Meredith City in the center of the kingdom, and then take the teleportation array from there to Neustadt City.

   More than a month ago, the morning after they left the cave, Dreiser suddenly came up and took out another badge and gave it to him.

   He was testing Ariel's wizarding talents with a crystal ball.

   Ariel's talent is not unexpectedly first-class... This is also normal, after all, with such a talent, the aptitude will not be too bad.

   And that badge, according to the information in it, is a token for the entrance examination of a school called Wittin.

  It's a pity...the entry age is required to be under fifteen years old, and he is eighteen years old this year, so he cannot meet such conditions.

  So, he finally returned the badge to Dreiser.

   "Go there."

   The street food is full of dazzling array of food, Colin swept around, a little confused, and finally, in order not to waste time, he randomly chose the nearest store.

   Still have to hurry up.

   If we were riding at the speed of horseback... I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Meredith City in the center of the kingdom until tomorrow.

  Although there is only one city in the entire Meredith Kingdom, it does not mean that it is small in size.

   In fact, this one city is equivalent to the total area of ​​the entire kingdom of some small country.

   If only that was the case, after all, the size of some provinces and cities in his country in his previous life was equivalent to the overall area of ​​some small countries.

but……

  Colin looked back at the tall gray-white city wall behind him, and couldn't help but sigh.

   If there is no mistake in the information, such a tall city wall should surround the entire city of Meredith.

   Length, unimaginable.

   I'm afraid, only in such a world can there exist such a city wall that can be called a spectacle...

   In the world with advanced technology in the past life, although it is possible to build such a city wall, but there is no reason to do it, so it is impossible to see such a spectacle.

   Had lunch.

   Without stopping, Colin led the way until sunset.

  I took a short rest at the hotel for one night, and the next day just dawned, and we continued on our way.

   So, about noon.

   On the wide street.

  Tattoo——

  Colin and others rode on horseback, and the sun was shining brightly.

   The next second, they suddenly stepped from the light into the shadow, and when they looked far away, a huge shadow enveloped them.

   In front of him, a huge gray-black wall lay in front of him.

  'Under the Wizarding League, Meredith City... has finally arrived. ’

   Colin raised his head and exhaled lightly.

   Enter the city as usual.

   But they were stopped again.

   Colin took out the pass and handed it to the humanoid golem who stopped in front.

   In the past, he had only read the introduction of such golems in books...such as the famous ghoul golems.

   but never seen it in reality.

The humanoid golem in front of    is all black, and the humanoid body is an oval and smooth head with only eyes and mouth on it, and no other facial features.

The   golem reached out to accept the pass, took it to his chest and scanned it, but did not move out of the way.

   "Sorcerer Colin, for the first time entering the city of wizards ruled by the Wizarding League, he needs to pay a thousand magic stones to enter the city." It said.

   then added: "As for your mortal servants... there are no more than five people, so there is no need to pay the fee."

  'A thousand magic stones...' Colin was slightly shocked.

   Such a number of magic stones is not a small number for an ordinary apprentice wizard.

   However, since Meredith City has such rules, I think Neustadt City, which is also governed by the Wizarding League, should have similar rules.

   This magic stone will have to be handed over sooner or later.

   Take ten low-grade magic stones from the storage ring and hand them to the guard golem.

The   golem took away all their passes and exchanged them for new ones with golden lines.

   His pass is different from those of Renee and others, with more delicate lines and a larger size.

   "Sorcerer Colin, this is the universal pass for the entire Wizarding League, please infuse the magic binding."

  Colin entered the magic power according to the words.

   As if the witch tool was branded, there was a faint connection from the pass in his hand.

   Then came some information.

   At a glance, Colin felt a burst of joy in his heart.

   This information is exactly what he has been missing about the Wizarding League.

   Resisting the thought of wanting to examine it carefully, Colin continued to walk forward with Ariel and the others.

   As soon as he entered the city, before he could see the surrounding environment clearly, Colin raised his brows, feeling a little shocked.

   He stopped and felt it.

   The concentration of magic energy here is far greater than anywhere he has been.

   Although we have walked all the way, the closer we are to the center of the kingdom, the higher the concentration of magical energy.

   He had long expected the rich magical energy of Meredith City.

   But he didn't expect the difference to be so big... If it is quantified by numerical value, the concentration of magic energy here is at least ten times higher than that of Wizard Rapp.

   You must know that before entering the city... the concentration of magic energy is similar to that of Bananka Island.

  I didn’t expect that there was such a big gap just by a wall.

   came back to his senses, he turned his head to look at Dreiser and the others and said slowly:

   "Ariel, Your Majesty Dreiser, Meredith City has arrived."

   "It's time for us to part as well."

  Dreiser withdrew his curious gaze and looked at Colin with some reluctance.

   But he also knew that these reluctances were more due to the unease of coming to an unfamiliar environment.

   "Okay, thank you for taking care of you all the way, Your Excellency Colin." Dreiser put his left hand on his chest and bent over.

   Burns and Ariel, who were behind them, stroked their chests and bowed to greet them.

   "Ariel, this is for you."

   After pondering for a moment, Colin stared at Ariel, took out a few magic crystals from the storage ring, which were equivalent to the power of a senior wizard apprentice, and handed them to her.

   On the one hand, it is based on his relationship with his old friend Erica, on the other hand, it is for a good relationship.

   After all, according to Ariel's peculiar talent, there is a school token.

  Thinking about it, as long as you can successfully join the school, if there is no accident, I am afraid that the achievement will not be lower in time.

   "Thank you." Ariel hesitated for a moment, then took the magic crystal.

   In the past month or so, under the popular science of Colin, she has learned something about the wizarding world.

   I understand the value of these sorcery crystals in front of me, and I also understand my own situation.

   "I will remember this kindness firmly." She looked at Colin and added.

  Colin stared at Ariel's determined appearance...

   In a trance, the appearance of the girl with blond hair and green eyes in front of her gradually overlapped with the appearance of the girl with the same blond hair and green eyes in the next day's moonlit night.

   He still remembered her resolute words, her firm eyes... and the note shoved through the crack of the door.

  'Unconsciously...a long time has passed. ’

   Gently exhaled a turbid breath, Colin smiled, and suddenly said a blessing.

   "Erielle, I wish you success in joining the school and become a great official wizard in the future."

   Ariel was a little surprised, then raised her fist and answered firmly:

   "I will try my best, Lord Colin."

  Colin nodded, then waved to them.

"goodbye."

   no longer hesitated, and turned and left neatly.

   The last words of blessing to Ariel... Actually, it was adapted from the blessing Erica wrote to him in the note.

   "Finally, I wish you successful advancement and become a great official wizard in the future!"

   These are the original words Erica wrote.

  …Official wizard.

  Colin's footsteps were brisk, and he couldn't wait in his heart.

   Meredith City is also one of the wizarding cities under the Wizarding League.

   But after all, this is not the city where he is going to the Xisheng School, and it is not his final destination.

   So even if everything around him looks good, he doesn't have much thought to appreciate it when he understands that he is just a passerby.

   Ninety-nine percent of the long journey has passed, and there is only one step left!

   Driven by such a mentality, Colin stopped appreciating the surrounding environment and came to the teleportation array that he had inquired about in advance.

   "Is the destination Neustadt City?" asked the wizard apprentice on duty.

   "Yes." Colin nodded.

   "Okay, the total cost is 600 magic stones, and you need to wait for 100 people. If you need to leave early, you can choose to make up the remaining magic stones." The wizard apprentice explained with a smile.

   "How many people are still missing?" Colin stared at him and asked hesitantly.

   The wizard apprentice glanced at the waiting room in front of him, and said after a while:

   "There are still about 30 people missing, do you need to leave early?"

"……no need."

   "Yeah." The wizard apprentice on duty nodded with a smile on his face.

   added after a while:

   "Actually, it won't take too long. According to the previous situation, we can leave in about half an hour."

   "Okay, thank you, here are the magic stones." Colin nodded to him and paid 600 magic stones in advance.

   Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

The seats in the    waiting hall were gradually filled up.

   "Please note that the teleportation array to Neustadt will start in five minutes. Please wait for the wizards in the hall to enter in an orderly manner along the passage."

   Accompanied by the sound of the machine, a piece suddenly slowly rose from the middle of the front wall of the waiting room.

   A promenade passage about three meters wide appeared in front of them.

   got up and walked forward with the flow of people.

   After turning a corner, a huge circular witch formation emitting a dim light appeared in front of them.

  The whole body is made of metal, silver, gold, black... Metals of various colors are fused together in an orderly manner. Although there are many colors, they are full of an inexplicable sense of order.

The    teleportation array is divided into regular areas one after another.

   Colin took Sister Renee and followed the guide slowly to the corresponding position.

  Wait for everyone to stand still.

   "The transmission is about to start, please confirm that the storage ring has been placed in the shielding box." The mechanical voice sounded.

   Colin subconsciously raised his hand to check and confirmed that the storage ring on his finger had been placed in the black shielding box he was holding.

  This can’t be sloppy, or be prepared to lose the contents of your storage ring forever.

   After checking, it took a while.

   The mechanical countdown sounded.

   "The teleportation begins, three, two, one!"

   Teleportation array light masterpiece!

  Colin felt his vision suddenly go dark.

   Immediately after the next second, the line of sight was clear again.

   It was the same teleportation formation that seemed to be still in Meredith.

   But looking at the different ceilings, different walls... Colin understood that he had finally arrived at his true destination——

   Neustadt!

   Transition~
