Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 283 Arrival in Neustadt (4.8k)

  woo-!

   The Grey Whale whistle roared and slowly sailed into the port of Tamanvi.

   This is the largest port belonging to the Gago Kingdom.

  The Gago Kingdom is a wizarding kingdom under the rule of Meredith City.

The   Sia continent is vast. Although half of the area is not rich in mana, and only some mortal kingdoms exist, the rest of the area is basically ruled by the Wizarding Union.

  Nine wizard cities known as the City of Miracles are evenly distributed in this area.

   Among them, in the southeast, only the area ruled by Meredith City is closest to the southern sea.

   Therefore, most of the ships coming from the southern seas choose to dock at ports under the rule of Meredith City.

   Most of the passengers on it will change to land here and continue to their destination.

  Colin is no exception.

   He is standing in his room at the moment, looking around to see if he has dropped anything.

   After checking and confirming that everything was in order, Colin sat on the meditation cushion, let out a soft breath, and called out the golden paper.

   Pale golden particles gathered in front of him, and an ancient golden paper between the real and the illusory slowly emerged.

  【Name: Colin Leonard】

  [Equal Rank: First-Order Intermediate Wizard (48/100); Extreme Knight (100/100)]

  【Meditation: Holy Circle Meditation (45/100)】

  【Breathing: Iguang Breathing I (86/100)】

  [Skill: omitted. 】

  【Talent: Strong Life I (99/100)】

  【Real Talent: Super Brain (0/100)】

  [Breakpoint: 0]

  ‘In another week at most, Iguang breathing method can break the limit again. ’

   His eyes swept over the gold paper in front of him quickly, Colin said silently.

   The progress of the wizard has reached 48/100 of the first-order intermediate wizard, and in less than 20 days, it has almost reached half.

  If we can maintain this speed, we can keep up with the progress of strengthening the foundation of the body as usual, and in another month, I am afraid that I will be able to try to break through to the second-order wizard!

   Of course, this is only the ideal situation.

   In fact, the further back you go, the slower the progress of the wizard's equal-level progress, and in addition, the knowledge related to the advanced second-level wizard has not been obtained.

  The road to advanced may still take a while...

   The prosperous Tamanvi port is both a trade and a transportation hub.

   After getting off the Grey Whale, Colin got on a grey-blue airship heading for Meredith City not long after.

   Half a day later.

   Meredith City.

  Colin stepped down from the gray-blue airship.

  This is a huge square space for airships, surrounded by a low wall.

   Walking on the gangway down the airship, you can easily see the various buildings that are stacked on the outside through the wall.

   There are flat floors, towers, and castles.

  ‘Speaking of which, this is the second time I have come to Meredith City…’

When    came outside, Colin looked around the strange surroundings and suddenly felt a little emotional.

   It was difficult to arrive at the Wizarding League for the first time.

   But in order to rejoin the school and seek a way to advance to the first-order wizard, he didn't even have the intention to stay here for a while, but went straight to the teleportation formation.

   "Of course... I don't have any extra time to play now." Colin raised the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly.

   Whether it is to gain the knowledge of the advanced second-order wizard or to save the Atebold mentor, he needs to return to Neustadt City as soon as possible and return to the Tin Saint School.

   However, after all, the experience is richer.

   Walking on the road, Colin clearly noticed that although Meredith City and Neustadt City are the same as the nine major wizard cities, they are obviously different.

  There are no small differences in architectural style, clothing, and even street food...and it seems to be more prosperous.

   The buildings here are more colorful and the forms are more diversified, as are the costumes. As for the street food, seafood is the mainstay.

   "I don't know how Erica's family is now..."

   Looking at all this, Colin suddenly thought.

   "Colin...sir?"

   Coincidentally, at this moment, a hesitant voice suddenly came from the side.

   Colin turned his head to look, a familiar face appeared in front of him - it turned out to be Ariel!

   "Lord Colin."

  The tall knight Burns, who was following him, also bowed respectfully and greeted him.

   "Elielle..." Colin was startled for a while, then a pleasant smile appeared on his face, "Long time no see."

   He looked Ariel up and down.

   I haven't seen her for more than a year, and this petite girl has changed a lot from what she remembered.

   becomes…seems more like her older sister, Erica.

   The half-length blond hair that was originally shoulder-length was cut into short hair just like Erica that just covered her ears. The emerald eyes were less weak and more determined.

   At this moment, he is wearing a white witch robe with gold threads and the badge of the Witting School.

   As if she was already a wizard girl!

   Hmm... Judging from the badge he wears, he seems to be an intermediate wizard apprentice.

   Colin's eyes stopped for a while, a little surprised in his heart.

   Although for him now, a mere mid-level wizard apprentice is nothing.

   But you must know that Ariel was just an ordinary person a year ago, but now she has become an intermediate wizard apprentice!

   Previously on Blackrock Island, it took them three years to become an intermediate wizard apprentice at the earliest.

  Colin turned his gaze to the knight Burns next to him and nodded at him.

   The tall knight remained silent and determined as before.

   "Long time no see, Your Excellency Colin, I didn't expect it to be you." Ariel stroked her hair and said with some surprise.

  Colin smiled, it was a rare surprise to meet old acquaintances in the strange city of Meredith.

  The road of life is destined to be lonely. After many people are separated, we will never see each other again...

   The same is true for wizards.

  The wizard's journey...is lonely after all.

   "If I'm not mistaken about the badge, you've become a mid-level wizard apprentice? What a talent."

   Colin praised with a smile.

  Ariel pursed her lips and smiled, brushed the hair beside her ear, hesitated and said in a low voice:

   "Thanks to my sister's phantom."

  'Erika's apparition? ’

   Colin was shocked and asked quickly:

   "Erika is dead, what is this phantom?"

  Ariel shook her head and explained quickly:

   "Your Excellency Colin, do you still remember the phantom talent I showed because of my sister's ashes?"

   "That phantom may have been influenced by the ashes of Erica's sister, and in later days she looked more and more like her sister. So I call her sister's phantom."

   "So, just a lookalike phantom?"

"Yes."

   Colin nodded, feeling somewhat lost in his heart.

   Both Erica and the ghost Erica have stayed on that island forever.

  Black Rock Island... It is even deeper than the seven southern islands in the area controlled by the gods.

   "Your Excellency Colin is here to visit Meredith City?" Ariel suddenly asked tentatively, "Can I invite you if possible..."

   "Sorry, I just came back from the southern sea area, and now I'm going to return to Neustadt City through the teleportation array." Colin shook his head and said,

   "Some urgent matters need to be dealt with. I'm afraid I can't stay in Meredith City for too long... Well, in fact, I didn't actually reserve time to stay here."

  Although he was very happy to meet old acquaintances, Colin did not forget that he was still on his way.

   "So..." Ariel's expression was obviously a little disappointed.

   "It's almost time, I have to go to the teleportation array." Colin looked at his pocket watch and continued.

  Ariel nodded, hesitated and said:

   "Lord Colin, I'll take you on a journey."

   Colin is absolutely essential.

   The three of them walked together towards the teleportation formation not far away.

   "Lord Colin also seems to have successfully joined the Tin Saint School?" Ariel speculated while looking at the delicate witch robe on his body.

   "Well, I passed the exam by luck." Colin nodded.

   He did not wear the school badge, but the witch robe on his body was the standard witch robe of the Xisheng School.

   seems to be thinking of something, he suddenly instructed Ariel again,

   "Your talent is quite special, so try to disclose it as little as possible on weekdays."

   He has never been a talkative person.

   But maybe it was because he was a good friend with Erica and received the favor of the ghost Erica. He had an inexplicable feeling of being an elder to Eriel.

   At this moment, seeing her unguardedly telling herself why her cultivation progress was so fast, she couldn't help but say one more sentence.

   "Well, I know." Ariel nodded, somewhat surprised by the reminder.

   But he also felt that Colin was suddenly closer to him.

  Before living in the palace, as an outcast princess, she deeply understands the truth of hiding herself.

   Whether it is skill or benefits, even joy, it is best to bury them one by one.

   But at the very beginning, no one ever reminded her, some just watched her fall and fall indifferently.

   "Actually, apart from your Excellency Colin, only my mentor Serena knows about my talent." Ariel added with a warm heart.

   "Yeah." Colin nodded, his face relaxed.

   Judging from Ariel's appearance at the moment, she should be living a good life, and the mentor named Serena should not be too bad for her.

   As a wizard with a not dark mind, he is sincerely happy with the current situation of his old friend's sister.

   And when he first came to this world, Colin's mentality has also changed a lot.

   Perhaps it is the continuous growth of his strength that has increased his confidence. He is now a little less indifferent to the people around him, and more easy-going.

   Those walls of indifference built together because of the anxiety of coming to a strange place and the nervousness of being weak are no longer needed.

   Next, he and Ariel chatted for a while.

   As he speculated, Ariel's current situation is good. Although her tutor Serena is a first-order high-level wizard, she has very few students, only three.

  There is no shortage of resources, and the relationship between classmates is naturally good.

   "By the way, Your Excellency Colin, you just said that you came back from the southern sea...are you going to carry out the mission assigned by the school?"

   Chatting and chatting, Ariel suddenly asked curiously.

   "Almost." Colin nodded.

   After careful calculation, after so many days, the Athos meeting should have ended.

   "Then you just returned from the southern sea, have you heard about the frontline war?" Eliel continued to ask.

   In the past few days, the hottest topic in Meredith City is undoubtedly the topic of frontline warfare.

   Whether it is ordinary people on the street or their apprentices, they will inevitably have a word or two in conversation.

   "I heard some," Colin replied.

   "It is said that we will continue to retreat from the Soah Islands, is this true?"

   "Will you continue to retreat?" Colin paused for a while and replied, "I haven't heard of this news."

   "They said that although the Soah Islands were defended, several members died... The Noyce member seems to have been deliberately targeted and was seriously injured." Ariel said.

   She wasn't surprised that Colin didn't know the specifics.

   After all, in her impression, Colin should be an apprentice of a pinnacle sorcerer. I am afraid that going to the southern sea to do a mission is not going to the battlefield.

   As for where she got the news—

   In fact, similar rumors are all over Meredith City.

   She just said the most widely circulated and the most trusted one.

   "...It will always be defended." Clinton paused and said, "Wizards are not so easily defeated."

   "I think so too..." Eliel sighed, "I heard from the instructor that it's all because the lunatics from Nolan Continent didn't come to support, otherwise the situation in the southern sea area wouldn't be what it is now."

  'Nuolan Continent...' Colin was silent, he raised his head, stunned slightly, and said slowly, "Here we are."

   It is a joy to meet the old acquaintance, but there is a difference, they have come to the teleportation array.

   "I'll take you in." Ariel said.

   As for the wizard Colin who brought their family from the distant Holy Flame Kingdom to Meredith City, the initial impression was not close, but rather fearful.

   But now after so long, with the increase in his knowledge of wizards.

  The mysterious aura and seemingly omnipotent power that shrouded Colin gradually faded.

   Even the fear gradually turned into respect and gratitude.

   "Lord Colin, come here, as a member of the Witting School, I can use the teleportation array with a 20% discount!"

   Entering the waiting room, Ariel led him towards the toll window.

   Colin smiled.

Although   Eril and Erica look very similar, they are obviously different.

   "Please show your pass." said the apprentice at the window.

   Colin took out the badge of the Tin Saint School from the storage ring with his backhand and handed it to the apprentice.

  In the Wizarding League, the badges of the main schools of the nine major cities can be used as passports.

   "Isn't Your Excellency Colin usually not in the habit of wearing school badges?" Ariel asked curiously.

   "It's not... it's just inconvenient sometimes." Colin shook his head.

   "This... noble wizard, has already registered, where are you going?... Well, the badge is for you, please keep it."

   "Neustadt." Colin took the badge and replied lightly.

   "Okay, the total cost is 960 magic stones, please pay."

   "Why is it so expensive?" Ariel asked subconsciously, "Going to Neustadt does not only require 600 magic stones, but with the badge of the Witting School, it should only require 480 magic stones."

The apprentice at the    window was slightly taken aback, looked at Colin and then at Ariel, and subconsciously explained:

   "That's the price of the apprentice's transmission. Because the first-order wizard consumes more, the price is twice that of the ordinary apprentice."

   "So it is." Colin nodded... No wonder the price was not the same as the one in his memory.

   He took out the magic stone and handed it to the wizard apprentice at the window, but he didn't realize that Ariel, who was beside him, was already in shock.

   She never thought that Colin would be a first-order wizard!

  If you guessed correctly, Colin should be about the same age as his sister...he is already an official wizard!

   "I happen to be the last of this group of teleportation arrays, so I have to go first." Colin turned his head to face Ellie and said gently, "Next time, if there is a chance, come to Meredith City as a guest."

  Click.

   The sound of gears turning suddenly sounded.

  The front wall of the waiting hall slowly rose. A promenade passage about three meters wide appeared.

   That is the passage to the teleportation array.

   "Goodbye." Colin glanced at Ariel and Burns and smiled.

   Without being sloppy, he turned around and walked towards the passage as soon as he finished speaking.

   "Goodbye, Your Excellency Colin!" Ariel said hurriedly after regaining her senses this time.

Burns on the side of    gave him a knightly salute.

  If it wasn't for Colin, he would have died long ago.

  Colin waved his hand and continued to move forward with the flow of people.

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

   After a while, when the wizards stood on the teleportation array, the mechanical countdown broadcast came.

   "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 this different ceiling, different walls…

  Colin understood that he had finally arrived at his true destination—

   Neustadt!
