   "A meeting of the Trinate royal family?" Colin asked aloud.

   "Uh..." Hawthorne's face flashed a trace of untraceable embarrassment, and explained after a pause:

   "Accurately speaking, it was a gathering between businessmen hosted by the royal family, and it was mainly invited by major businessmen in the whole country of Fabados.

   But the host is a member of the royal family...usually, it's either a prince or a princess. "

  Colin's attitude was more gentle than he had imagined.

   But the more so, the more he can't do it as easily as those business partners.

   The rhythm of the words could not be freely controlled in his own hands.

  Colin nodded slightly and patiently listened to Hawthorne, then shook his head and declined:

   "Sorry, I have no interest in parties."

   "Your Excellency Nader, a small auction will be held at the same time as each gathering." Hawthorn seemed to have expected it, and hurriedly continued:

   "I learned from this that among the items in this auction, there is a token of the Lanti School in Meredith City.

   With it, you can join the real school of wizards. "

'I see. ’

   At this time, Colin finally came to a realization.

   No wonder Hawthorne came over to invite him to a party.

   turned out to be a wandering wizard.

   For wandering wizards, a token that can join the wizarding school is naturally very tempting.

   However, for him, a wizard who had already joined the second echelon school in Neunstadt, the Tin Saint School, the so-called Ranti School token seems a little lackluster.

   However, Hawthorne's purpose... Colin's mind turned and speculated—

   I'm afraid...you want to take advantage of the situation, or form a good relationship?

   After all, if he went to participate in the auction, he must have participated through Hawthorne's channel.

   will naturally be marked with the Hawthorn force.

   Other than that, there should be nothing.

   There shouldn't be any risk in the party itself... Hawthorn doesn't look like an idiot.

  Colin pondered to himself, he didn't feel anything.

   If he is a wandering wizard, this might be a win-win situation.

  It's a pity...he is not a wandering wizard and has no such needs.

   "Sorry, I have no idea of ​​joining a school."

   So Colin stared at Hawthorn, declined again, then paused and said:

   "Is there anything else Mr. Hawthorne? If not, I have something to do later..."

  Hawthorne was obviously stunned when he heard his words.

   He didn't expect that Colin in front of him had no interest in the token that could join the school...

   Could it be an existing token?

   "The Ranti School is the top 100 school in Meredith City, and it's notoriously easy to join." Hawthorn reiterated unwillingly.

   As for Colin is already a member of the school... He has thought about the possibility, but after all, it seems unlikely.

   Whether it is Colin's attitude towards others or Colin's performance in Nanao, he is more like a wandering wizard.

  Those school wizards have always been high above.

   Even the mildest of them can only feel pride in their mild manner.

  …

   will never be as natural as Colin.

   He speculates that it is more likely that Colin already has a token of joining the school, or that he really does not intend to join the school.

"Feel sorry."

   After listening to Hawthorne's words, Colin put away his smile and shook his head again calmly.

The meaning of    rejection has been very obvious.

   Hawthorne was shocked when he saw this, and after sighing inwardly, he left decisively:

   "Since Lord Colin has no such thoughts, I won't bother you any more."

"Um."

   After Hawthorne left, Colin got up and went to the study window, quietly watching Hawthorne walk out of the villa door, pass through the courtyard, and leave.

  Hawthorne is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and he doesn't get too entangled.

  If this trip was for vacation, he would have the leisure to follow Hawthorne to see what the party held by the royal family in this world looked like.

   is all about gaining knowledge and experiencing local customs.

   However, time is still too precious for him now.

   The war is going on and he doesn't have as much time to waste elsewhere.

   Withdrawing his gaze, Colin silently walked towards the meditation room.

  The knight has successfully advanced all the way, and there is no need to spend so much time on Yin Guang breathing method for the time being.

   There is no need to wait for a period of time to complete the body transformation, and now he has exceeded the requirements of strengthening the foundation of the body.

   What he needs to do is to strengthen the connection between the strengthened body and the soul...

   This is also the final step in strengthening the foundation of the body.

   In addition, there are other things that need to be done, of course, meditation and raising the level of wizards.

   When all this is done, that's when he returns to Neunstadt.

  …

   On the banks of the Lebeau.

   Hawthorne came out of Villa No. 5. Although his face was calm as water, his steps were not as light as before.

"grown ups?"

   The bodyguard of the great knight stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

   Beside him, there were two young men, a man and a woman.

   "Dad! What are you asking me to do here, I made an appointment with Carl to go hunting today!"

   Among the two, the slightly younger boy complained with dissatisfaction.

   "Father." The girl next to him, about fifteen or sixteen years old, greeted softly, with a quiet demeanor.

   Hawthorne glanced at his son and said nothing.

   just turned his head and looked at the daughter next to him and replied softly.

   The teenager on the other side calmed down after Hawthorne glanced at him, and quickly closed his mouth, daring to say anything again.

  According to his experience, the father is probably in a bad mood now, so he should not take the initiative to hit the gun himself!

   Hawthorne took the lead and walked forward.

   He originally called this pair of sons and daughters to take the opportunity to introduce him to the Nader sorcerer... Perhaps, he could also be a teacher.

   For a real estate developer like him, although he can occasionally know that the school token appears, it is limited to knowing.

  It can be said to be even more difficult to obtain.

   In other words, even if you can rely on wealth to go bankrupt to exchange for one, most of them will not be able to keep it.

   So if he can worship a wandering wizard as a teacher, in his heart, it is already a good choice.

  …

   But unfortunately, his attitude towards Colin had obviously reached a critical point.

   If you make extra demands, you can’t make good things turn into bad things, and the good feelings you have accumulated before will also be wiped out.

   So in the end, he didn't bring it up again.

"pity…"

   "It seems that we have to find other hope for this gathering, otherwise..."

  Hawthorne turned his head to look at the Lepo River, feeling a little lost in his heart, and sighed softly.

  Wealth is just the icing on the cake for power.

   And strength is to wealth, but branches are to leaves, and there is no shortage of them.

  Otherwise, it will wither and wither.

  …

   At the same time, in Neunstadt.

   There are also people, sighing.

   is Aki of the Hitos family.

   It's just that, unlike Hawthorne's sigh, Aki's sigh is cold and deadly.

   "You mean that all the 'shadows' except you have been wiped out by Atebold?"

In the    study, Aki sighed and asked slowly.

   The black mist on the surface of the black figure in front of him vibrated regularly for a moment, sending him a positive message.

   "If that's the case, what are you doing here?"

  Aki had a smile on his face, but he spoke cold words.

   After saying that, he turned around and walked to the window.

   At the same time, the black mist on the black figure facing him suddenly shrank as if it had come to life, squeezing the black figure with a rattling sound.

  Shadow tried desperately to control the black fog that used to be like an arm, but in vain.

   After a while, dark red blood spurted out from the gaps in the black mist, forming several blood columns.

   It looks like a juicy fruit has been squeezed, and the juice is splashing all over the place.

   "What a disgusting scene."

  I don't know when, Aki turned his head, he was leaning against the window, the sun came from behind him, hiding his expression in the shadows, making it impossible to see.

   Plop.

   After a while, the black mist seemed to gradually dissipate due to the death of the host, and the shadow that had turned into minced meat lost its support and fell heavily to the ground.

  By the sunlight shining in from the window, I could vaguely make out the lump of minced meat on the carpet, which seemed to be a naked human woman.

   Some black marks of transformation can be faintly seen on the partially intact skin.

   Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the mouth and nose on the woman's head, which are sewed with dense black silk threads, which looks oozing and disgusting.

   But Aki, who was beside him, didn't notice it, and didn't care at all about the dark red blood splashing everywhere.

   "Where exactly did you hide that bearer?"

   He just leaned quietly by the window and continued to mutter silently.

   seems to be talking to himself, and seems to be talking to someone.

After    half a sound, Aki straightened up with a stern expression on his face.

   He doesn't plan to wait any longer, he's going to deal with Artbold himself and find that thing!

   tuk tuk —

   But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

   "Master, your uncle is here."

   The remodeled maid outside the door whispered.

  Aki's face flashed a hint of impatience, she straightened up from the window, stepped over the minced meat on the ground, pushed the door and walked out.

  …

   Walking down the spiral staircase, Aki's face has become calm.

   "Uncle Qiao Yinsi, why are you here?" With a smile on his face, he surprised the slightly rich middle-aged man in the living room.

  However, Joe Yinsi on the side was not in a hurry to respond. He stared at Axi's blood-stained soles and said coldly:

   "Are you still studying those witchcraft?"

   "It's just a little trick." Axi restrained her smile, walked to the sofa calmly and sat down opposite Joyce.

  Qiao Yinsi looked at him like this, and his stern face suddenly became melancholy.

   "It's been more than sixty years, Aki." He whispered, "Plain Rudolph is dead, and the events of those days are over."

   "Not yet." Aki shook his head calmly, leaning his body completely on the back of the sofa.

  Joyins was silent for a while, then said:

   "The family hopes that you will stop targeting Atbold, focus on your own cultivation, and stop researching those meaningless witchcraft... or undertake some necessary work."

  Aki sneered and continued:

   "Hope of the family? Atbold is just a dying cripple, will the family take him seriously?

  You wish it, Uncle Joyce! "

   "I'm doing it for your own good, an Atbold is nothing though.

   But after all, it is the cannibalism of the members of the classmates. If it is discovered, it is a big taboo. "Joyins continued.

   He stared at Aki and said solemnly:

   "It's time for you to move forward. For more than 60 years, your cultivation base has barely made any progress. Do you know how many juniors have surpassed you?"

   "Uncle Qiao Yinsi, you are twenty years older than me, you are not the same level as me." Axi choked back.

  “…”

  Qiao Yinsi's expression froze, he lost the momentum of his lesson, paused, and finally said solemnly:

   "Anyway, you have to know, Aki, rank is the most important thing for a wizard."

   "If you want to deal with Atbold then go for it, but remember, you must be well prepared, Steward Field may be able to help you."

  Axi watched Joyce leave, didn't get up to say goodbye, just sat quietly on the sofa.

   He didn't like Joyce, not only because of his controlling attitude.

   It's because of his dead father...

but.

  Joyins keeps getting one thing wrong.

  Aki sank deeply into the leather sofa, looking at the ceiling in a trance.

   Over the years, it was not that he was unwilling to continue to improve his strength.

   But there is simply no way to improve his strength.

   "Pulan... I obtained the secret transformation technique back then, and you said that the room you searched didn't yield anything.

  I believe it, I will share the secret technique with you, and you say that you are disgusting and unwilling to practice it. "

   "Why, after this, you suddenly became Jin Yu?"

  Aki's eyes were lost, and his lips moved silently.

   Hate and ridicule spread from every corner of his face.

   "People later thought you were a genius since childhood, but only I know that you are not, those are just false rumors, you are just an ordinary wizard who is no different from me."

   "What a coincidence, the secret technique I got was missing the most crucial carrier.

  If I had it, I would not have fallen to the point where my aptitude regressed, and I am still standing at the second rank. "

   "If there is it, according to occultism—

   I already have a talent beyond the first-class! "

   "Just like you, right? Puran!"

   Thinking of this, Aki clenched his teeth and his face was hideous.

   After a moment, he regained his composure, slowly got up from the sofa, and walked up the stairs.

   As he walked around the corner of the stairs, he paused for a moment.

   Here, on the dark green wall, hangs a portrait of a beautiful high elf.

  The artist's technique is good, and the characters are vividly depicted.

  Blonde hair is soft, facial features are delicate, and the temperament is as quiet as water.

  ‘Octavier…’

  Aki murmured, incomprehensible.

   He turned his head and continued walking upstairs.

   As Joyce said, if you want to deal with Atbold, you must not be reckless, and you need to do some preparations.

   Joyce's suggestion flashed through his mind:

  'Is Field in charge...'
