Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 151 Undercurrent

  Click click.

   A slight rubbing sound came.

  Matthew leaned on the cushioned reclining chair, playing with a few magic stones emitting a dim light in his hand, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and his face was happy.

  After Colin left, another wandering wizard with a feather badge came...

  Unfortunately...I'm not a sensible person, and I wanted him to remind him. In the end, he managed to get a thousand magic stones for him.

   Of course, he, Matthew, never makes a loss-making business.

  One thousand magic stones...then only one test item can be changed for the written test.

   As he thought, he took out eight feather badges from the wooden drawer on the right hand side.

   Today, 25,000 magic stones have been credited.

   But...it's not a big head.

   Matthew stood up slowly, took the feather badge on his body, and walked out.

   Xisheng School has such an examination every two years.

   If you just take a bribe, you may not be too petty...

  ………………

   The next morning, the old Parker Hotel.

  In the room, Colin stood by the window, drinking steaming black tea, while looking at the bustling crowd on the street.

  Time has changed, and now the window where he lives is no longer that charming sparkling blue...

   However, the location of the old Parker Hotel is not bad. There are dense crowds on the street, coming and going... Maybe it can also be called a sea of ​​people.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing slightly.

   "Master, things have been packed."

   It was at this moment that Renee stepped forward to interrupt his thoughts.

   "Yeah." Colin looked away from the window and handed the white porcelain teacup to Renee.

   While Renee went to wash the teacup, he waved Renee's packaged items into the storage ring.

   They are going to move out today and do not plan to continue living here.

  After all, I only consulted with Sophia at the front desk about joining the school yesterday. If I continue to live here for half a month...

   As long as Sophia is not a fool, with a little thought, it is obvious that he may take the exam of the Xisheng School in half a month.

   After all, there are no other schools that take the exam exactly half a month later.

   came to the front desk downstairs, Sophia was still on duty... I don't know if she works 24 hours a day, or if there is another person working with her on two shifts.

   "Check out." He took out the key and said.

   "Okay." Sophia took the key from Colin, returned the deposit, and asked casually, "Have you already found a school to join?"

   "No." Colin shook his head calmly, "There aren't that many magic stones to buy tokens, first find a place to settle down and take a step by step."

   "Yeah." Sophia nodded and added: "If you want to find a cheap place to live... I recommend you to go to Seagull Street. As long as you choose carefully, you can find a lot of cheap housing there."

   "Okay, thanks for the suggestion." Colin took the deposit with a smile, holding the magic stone's hand for a moment, "...There's no charge for this, right?"

   Sophia rolled her eyes slightly, "Free."

   Colin smiled, put away the magic stone and left.

   Right now, the Haiyan is waiting to be sold, and the matter of joining the school is basically settled... Without these pressures, he feels a lot more relaxed than before.

   stopped a stagecoach on the side of the road.

   "Sir, where are you going?" asked the groom.

   "White Street, Horseshoe Street." Clinton said after a while.

  Although Sophia gave him a good impression, but he must be defensive...

   Horseshoe Street was the place he had inquired elsewhere yesterday. There were many hotels on that street, and the price was similar to that of Old Parker.

   At the same time, it is relatively close to Tongqiangwei Street and the residence of the Xisheng School... It is a good living choice.

   got into the carriage with Renee and the others.

   By noon, he managed to find a hotel on Horseshoe Street to settle down.

   After living for 14 days, the discounted price is 320 magic stones... So far, except for the final payment for the Haiyan number that will be credited by the Tinghai Chamber of Commerce in the future.

   He still has about 2,000 magic stones left in his total assets... spending money like water.

   The next period of time was regular and calm, he resumed his practice, and his life was quite like when he was on Blackrock Island.

   In this way, ten days are fleeting.

  Tinghai Chamber of Commerce came to the door and brought him good news - the Haiyan has found a suitable buyer!

   "Your Excellency Colin, you are just in time for a good time... The buyer offered a very high price."

   It was the long-haired apprentice Hume who personally came to inform him.

   "Lord Hume, what do you say?" Colin asked while following the long-haired Hume to the black carriage dedicated to the Tinghai Chamber of Commerce.

   "The specifics are more complicated... In short, it is because the Supreme Council issued a circular."

   "The above encouraged the wizards under the alliance to go to the far south sea. Compared with the previous ones, all aspects of welfare have improved, so more wizards began to go to the far south sea.

   Since then, the price of anything with ocean voyages in the market has begun to rise... The price of ocean voyage ships is the same day by day.

  Ting Maritime Chamber of Commerce deliberately waited for a few more days before releasing your ship today. "

After   , Hume paused and continued to explain:

   "It's not that we don't want to wait any longer, but that the price of ocean-going ships has almost reached its peak now, according to the estimates of professionals in the chamber of commerce.

If we wait any longer, we will wait for a large number of new ships to appear on the market... At the speed of the Neustadt city factory, a new batch of ships will soon be released. In addition, ships imported from outside the Wizarding Union almost arrived. "

   Colin nodded. In recent days, he has been busy cultivating. In order to avoid trouble, he has basically never left the hotel, and the news is not well-informed.

   "So...then what was the buyer's final bid?" he asked Hume after a pause.

   Hume smiled and compared a number: "17,999 magic stones."

  Colin's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't contain the joy in his heart, but soon, as if thinking of something, he asked again:

   "In terms of handling fees..."

   "The handling fee has not changed, please rest assured." Hume said with a smile, "Tinghai Chamber of Commerce, credit guarantee."

   Having said that, but in fact this is because the situation in Neustadt City has changed recently, and the school behind them ordered them to avoid causing trouble as much as possible.

  Otherwise... If it was in the past, why would they charge another reasonable fee.

   "You hard workers." Colin nodded with joy on his face.

  Speaking of which, there was one other thing that made him happy recently—

   That is his own strength.

Thanks to the high concentration of magical energy in Neustadt City, in the past ten days, his wizard progress has moved forward by two points, reaching 10/100, and the knight progress has also reached 98/100. About to break the limit.

  It is worth mentioning that, it is not that the progress of the wizard's cultivation is a little over five days. In fact, a rough estimate should be about eight days.

   After all, the progress of the first point was improved on the second day, which obviously belongs to accumulation.

   And it took eight days to improve the second point of progress... This is the real progress.

   "Your Excellency Hume, it's convenient to ask, where can I see the announcement?" Recovering his thoughts, Colin moved in his heart and asked again.

   "Of course it's convenient... Your Excellency, you may not be very clear when you first came here. Generally, you can get a copy of this kind of announcement for free when you go to any bookstore with a pass." Hume replied.

   "Okay, thanks." Colin nodded.

   After a while, the carriage gradually stopped.

   "Are you there yet?" Colin asked.

   Hume lifted the curtain of the car and frowned slightly.

   "Not yet..." He smiled at Colin and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the groom."

   Just as he was about to question the groom, a voice came from ahead.

   "Lord Hume, the law enforcement team in front of you has closed the road." The groom turned around and said.

   Road closure?

   Colin subconsciously lifted the curtain of the car and looked out.

   In front of the carriage, a pale white light streaks across the road from left to right, blocking the road like a warning belt in a previous life.

   In front of the vigilance brilliance, stood a tall wizard wearing a silver-grey robe... I don't know what material his robe was made of. Under the sunlight, the brilliance flowed like metal.

   Behind the tall wizard, at the entrance of a narrow alley.

   A group of silver armored knights are cooperating with several wizards also wearing silver-gray robes to **** a group of ordinary wizards with ugly faces.

   "This is..." Hume murmured beside him in shock, "How could the law enforcement team come to the Hidden Rose Black Market?!"

   Colin's expression froze, and he asked tentatively:

   "The Hidden Rose Black Market?"

   Hume frowned, thinking about something, his face solemn.

   After hearing Colin's question, he restrained his expression and explained briefly:

   "Your Excellency should be aware of the existence of a black market in the city. This Hidden Rose is the largest and most representative of them... The backstage is extremely hard, so it should not..."

   Having said this, Hume's brows began to knit together again, and he couldn't help but look at the distant scene again.

   The number of wizards who have been caught is not many, but the things behind this are not small.

   Neustadt City... Maybe the wind direction has changed.

   Lowered the curtain of the car, and the two sat in the car without saying a word.

   After a while.

   chu chu ---

  The sound of a steam locomotive suddenly came from behind the carriage.
