Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 291 Temporary departure

   In the living room.

  Colin sat calmly on the brown sofa by the window.

  Nasi and Demi were playing happily outside the window, laughter and laughter were faintly introduced through the stained glass.

   'I don't know if Oliver and Aki behind him can be blinded by him...' He stared at the garden outside and pondered silently.

   The grievances between the Hitos family and their mentors have become unresolved.

   In fact, those past events are no longer important...

   Colin sighed slightly, he thought that Neustadt City would be a more peaceful place for him to practice well.

   But he never thought that the wave of orange cloud was not inferior to the battlefield.

  ‘In the end, it’s still too weak. ’

   "If you are a second-order wizard, or Jin Yu..."

   He withdrew his gaze, got up slowly, and prepared to go out.

  ‘It’s not too late, go to the school to see the tutor first, and then find a safe place as soon as possible to let the Yiguang Breathing Technique break the limit. ’

   In his heart, there is actually a hidden worry.

  The crystallization of the heart of the ancient tree condensed from the remnants of the legendary ancient tree of life in the body, you don't need to think about it to know that it is extraordinary!

   The energy in it, according to the current progress, has only absorbed 1% at most, and it has not been fully absorbed at all.

   If something happened during this time, causing it to be exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

   Not long.

   After speaking to Renee, he walked out the door, stopped a stagecoach, and drove towards the school.

   However, before reaching the school, Colin suddenly stopped the carriage.

   opened the car door, and he walked down slowly, staring at the ordinary courtyard in front of him.

   If I remember correctly, this is where Marjorie lived.

   After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"excuse me, you are?"

   After a while, with the sound of footsteps, a maid came over and asked through the black gate.

   "Is Marjorie at home? I'm Colin, Colin Leonard." Colin said briefly.

   The maid frowned suspiciously.

   "My lord, my master's name is Thompson, I've never heard the name Marjorie..."

   Colin's heart sank slightly, and he continued to ask:

   "When did you move here? Do you know where the previous owner moved here?"

   The maid's expression was slightly stunned, her eyes were a little wary, and she didn't speak.

   Colin frowned slightly, paused and continued to ask, "Is your master at home? I have something to call him."

   After about an hour or so.

   Anfu Street, ten minutes away from Lieu St. Street, is in a Witchcraft Crystal Shop.

  Colin sat quietly on the hospitality sofa.

   "Sir, please use tea." The apprentice shop manager respectfully filled the freshly brewed black tea in a white porcelain teacup and brought it to Colin.

   "No need." Colin waved his hand, looked at the small door behind the counter and said, "How long will it take."

   The apprentice store manager put the tea on the table, and said with a smile: "It should be soon, it may be charging the crystal, it can't be interrupted... But the time should be almost there."

   As soon as he finished speaking, there was a creaking sound, and the small brown door behind the wooden counter was suddenly pushed open.

   "Colin—" Marjorie shouted in surprise, "I didn't expect it was really you? When did you come back?"

   "Senior Marjorie."

  Colin stood up slowly, staring silently at Marjorie... at his right arm.

   "Haha, what's wrong?"

  Marjorie felt his gaze, and subconsciously hid his right hand behind his back, then seemed to feel that his reaction was unnatural, and immediately stretched it out, patted it, and continued in a hearty voice:

"My hand is a wound left from a previous mission to accidentally slay monsters. I have replaced it with a mechanical prosthesis, made of silver alloy, which is doped with 0.5 grams of mithril. The transmission of magic power is very smooth, and it is no different from before. "

   Colin didn't answer, just smiled and said:

   "Are you free to go out for a walk?"

   Marjorie nodded subconsciously, then seemed to realize something, and turned his eyes to the apprentice store manager next to him.

   "Of course there is no problem, Your Excellency Marjorie, you can spend as long as you want with this lord. I will let Eddie help you with today's work."

   The store manager quickly said to him gently, but couldn't help but complain in his heart.

   He didn't even know that Marjorie was a member of the Tin Saint School, and he didn't even know that he actually knew a first-order mid-level official wizard with a silver feather nameplate!

   Moreover, this first-rank intermediate silver-feather wizard even called him senior!

Why do wizards like    come to work in my shop... Really!

   He watched Marjorie and Colin walk out of the store and heaved a sigh of relief.

on the street.

  Colin and Marjorie walked side by side in silence for a moment, and suddenly said:

   "Is your injury caused by the Hitos family?"

   Marjorie stopped, and the joy on his face gradually subsided.

   "I can't hide it from you, Colin." He smiled wryly.

  ‘No one can hide such words…’

  Colin shook his head in his heart,

   Marjorie lowered his head, looked at his arm and continued to mutter,

   "Although I don't have any evidence, the red-ridged brown bear that was attacked during the mission was obviously strengthened by an inexplicable power.

   And before this time, the Ahi Siddhos had just sent someone to warn me. "

   "Does the instructor know about this?" Clinton paused and continued to ask.

   "I don't know yet." Marjorie shook his head, frowned suddenly, and rubbed his right arm with his left hand.

   It has been less than twenty days since he lost his entire right hand, and the phantom limb pain after the amputation is still haunting him.

  Colin watched Marjorie's right arm carefully, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in his heart, as if being blocked by a boulder... Below, there was a faint anger brewing.

  Marjorie was the first classmate he met when he came to Atebold.

   He remembered that it was outside the Master's residence.

  Marjorie showed him how to get past the defenses of Nado outside the mentor's residence, and taught him a little witchcraft trick...

   Later, Marjorie took him to look for his current residence.

   At that time, Marjorie was still in a healthy state.

  But now, he has suffered such a serious injury...

   The amputation was not as trivial as Marjorie had described.

   For wizard apprentices, the integrity of the body will even affect the success rate of advanced formal wizards!

   And even if you advance in the future, when the first-order wizard strengthens the foundation of the body, there will still be some adverse effects.

   After all, in the apprenticeship stage, the spiritual sea has not yet opened up, and the soul is not strong enough.

  The soul is more often fused with the body... Losing a limb will damage a part of the soul to some extent.

  If the severed limbs are not connected or replaced for a long time, then the part of the soul that has lost its physical support may eventually be permanently lost...

  The pain eased a little, Marjorie put down his right arm, and continued:

   "I'm worried that if I look like this, the teacher will ignore the injury and go to trouble with the Hitos family... So since then, I haven't gone to the teacher for a while."

   "I don't know how the teacher is injured now..."

  Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed and he sighed:

   "Colin, did you know... Lilian-senpai also disappeared on the battlefield."

   "I don't know how uncomfortable the tutor will be when he hears this news... I really hope that Lilian-senpai is like you, but she has encountered some accidents, and she can come back smoothly in the end!"

   Colin's lips moved, and he was about to explain, but what blurted out was—

"hope so…"

   He did not explain to Marjorie that the teacher's injury had been suppressed for the time being with the help of the Fountain of the Ancient Tree, nor did he explain Lillian's whereabouts...

   After all, he has no way of knowing what Lilian's current situation is now, and Marjorie knows too much, which is not a good thing for him as an apprentice.

  The two were silent for a moment.

   Colin asked again:

   "Senior Marjorie, why do you work in that ordinary sorcery crystal shop?"

   He asked the apprentice named Thompson for a long time before he learned some clues, and then he found it all the way along the clues.

   "The prosthesis is too expensive, the shops under the school are unwilling to accept me, and I go out to do tasks... My injury has some impact." Marjorie said briefly.

   He smiled and said again: "I am still somewhat grateful to the Hitos family for driving me away from my original residence. The place where I live now is not as spacious as before, but the price is much cheaper!"

   Colin sighed silently and asked Marjorie to lead the way home, intending to go to a relatively safe environment to see if anything could help him.

  …

   Meanwhile, the other side.

  In a luxurious study, Oliver is returning to his life.

   "Lord Aki, that's the way it is, the relationship between Colin, who received the Silver Feather nameplate, and Artbold is not as deep as we imagined.

   After I finished speaking, I hinted that I had planned to leave and come back after Atbold died. "

"Um."

   On the soft single-seat leather sofa, a wizard with green hair replied lightly, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

   Oliver bowed his head and stood to the side respectfully, as if thinking of something, he continued to speak:

   "Colin Leonard, who just joined the school more than half a year ago.

  According to the survey, when he joined the school, he was mistaken for his poor talent, and he was passively assigned to the Atebold faction, not his own choice. And after joining, it seems that it didn't take long for it to be closed for several months..."

  Oliver raised his head and speculated:

   "So, probably because of this, he doesn't really care about Atbold's status quo!

   is just for the sake of reputation, so I don't want to leave at this time... There is no threat to us. "

"Oh?"

  Aki chuckled, put down his arm supporting his chin, and looked at Oliver and asked softly:

   "Are you teaching me not to care about him?"

   The light words fell into Oliver's heart, but they were as heavy as a mountain, making his face pale in an instant, and quickly explained:

   "Aki-sama, I'm talking too much."

   "Don't be nervous." Aki smiled, leaned back slightly, let her body sink into the back of the sofa, and instructed lightly:

   "Speak what you just said again."

  Oliver felt amnesty, and hurriedly recounted the conversation between himself and Colin.

   Only this time, he hardly added any extra opinions and words, racked his brains, and basically repeated every sentence completely.

   just asked respectfully at the end:

   "Aki-sama, so what should we do?"

  Aki Hitos, what he dislikes the most is that others teach him to do things... Oliver silently recited in his heart.

  Although his faction has always been affiliated with the Hitos family.

   But the Ahi in front of him, he has only just come into contact with him recently, and apart from his notoriety, he is not familiar enough...

  Oliver lowered his head and waited silently, without saying any more.

   After a while.

Snapped.

   A green crystal pendant was thrown on the table by Aki.

   Then there was a slight movement on the sofa, and it seemed that Aki slowly stood up.

  ta-ta-

   The hard leather boots on his feet made a crisp sound as they stepped on the floor, and gradually left the study.

   There was only a dull word, which reached Oliver's ears with the air.

   "Since he wants to take a mission and leave for a while, then give him a mission...

  I think...supporting the Soah Islands is a good choice. "

  Oliver was startled, nodded quickly and said:

   "Yes, Aki-sama!"

After a long time, Oliver slowly raised his head until he could no longer hear footsteps.

  ‘Support Soah Islands…’

   A chill rose from the bottom of Oliver's heart.

  Aki did this arrangement, obviously not intending to let Colin go...

   Everyone knows that the most dangerous place right now is the Soah Islands, which are on the front line of the war.

  It is easy to go there, but to come back...but not necessarily.

   What's more, the distance between them is so long, there are opportunities to do some small actions...

   As he did with other Atebold students.

   shook his head, Oliver straightened up indifferently, picked up the pendant on the marble table in front of him, and walked out quickly.

   For the enemy, there can be no mercy. Now that it is determined, it must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and the roots must be cut neatly without leaving future troubles.

   He wants to take advantage of the fact that Colin has not yet accepted the mission, and immediately pass the instructions of Lord Axi to the companions in the mission center!

  …

"I understand."

   About half an hour later, members of the same faction carefully checked the pendant that Oliver handed over and nodded.

   "Please be careful, that wizard is named Colin Leonard, who has just received a silver feather nameplate recently. He has blond hair and blue eyes. He looks as handsome as an elf."

   Oliver couldn't help but emphasize one more sentence.

   "Understood." The member nodded solemnly with a serious face.

Although   Aki is only a second-order wizard, he was born in the direct line of the Hiddos family and has a noble status, almost equivalent to a third-order wizard from the mixed blood of the faction.

   and is notoriously ruthless and tyrannical, his orders deserve to be taken seriously.

  Oliver finally felt relieved when he saw this, and walked quickly outside.

   Now recalling his previous actions in front of Aki, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

   walked out of the school, it was already afternoon.

   The autumn sun seems to be warmer and yellower than the rest of the time, falling on the people who come and go.

  Oliver looked at the lively street in front of him, but was always a little uneasy.

   After pondering for a moment, he made a decision and instructed his groom to turn around and head towards Colin's residence.

   Lord Aki's plan cannot be missed, he is going to see Colin's situation again.

   Ten minutes later, he got off the carriage at the corner of Rieux Saint Street, and walked to the top floor of a three-story building next to him with a wide view.

   Then, he cautiously peeked towards Colin's residence through the shelter of the low wall next to him.

   However, in the next second, after seeing the scene in Colin's courtyard, Oliver's expression suddenly changed.

'what happened? ! ’

  ‘Colin Leonard… Did he move? ! ’

   I've been waiting for you for a long time. Maybe it's the National Day holiday.

   Wait for me to adjust one or two.

   The plan is to try to repay the debt this month!

   There are a total of 33 chapters, 32 chapters before, one chapter has more than 1900 monthly passes last month (more than 1000 plus 1 has been added, and there are more than 1500 left.)

   Then during the National Day, if the event has passed the 1888 monthly pass, there will be three more updates!

   - Ten Gardens.
