Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 3 Golden Paper

   The pattern on the floor was dilapidated, and the original four-pointed star could barely be seen.

   The dried blood traces on it showed a dull black and red in the moonlight.

  Colin walked to the bed and sat down, his thoughts drifted to the early morning more than ten hours ago—

  …The rough stone walls, the cobblestone fireplace, the open wooden windows, the fresh blood at his feet under the moonlight, and the man who sat on the edge of the bed with a pale face covering his head and looking around…

  —This is the picture when he first crossed over.

   Before crossing, he was just an ordinary social animal. Single, he just bought a house with the help of his family this year, and he also took out a loan to pick up a car. Although his usual work is boring, he is more relaxed and stable...

   In general, life is mundane but happy.

   He never thought of crossing over!

  Colin came back to his senses, fell back, and let his body fall on the bed.

boom.

   But immediately, he sat up again with a grin.

   He forgot that this was no longer his big soft bed.

   It was just a hard and cold wooden bed.

  He was inexplicably irritable, got up suddenly from the hard and cold wooden bed, paced to the window, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky that was very similar to the previous life.

  Although the weather is fine tonight, there are still some clouds floating in the sky, swaying around the full moon under the blowing of the night wind, dyed bright silver.

   After a long time, he finally regained his composure, stomping his feet and shaking his hands, moving his hands and feet that were blown by the cold wind in the early spring.

   After a while, he felt the blood flowing to his limbs, so he slowly walked to the wooden table beside the bed, leaned over and stretched out his right index finger.

   scoff.

   No lighters and no magic props.

   simply stretched out his finger, roused his spirit, invoked magic power, and a blazing flame suddenly appeared at his fingertips.

   Colin stared at the flames beating in his hands, his face slightly startled, the flames flickered in his beautiful blue eyes, and there was an indescribable emotion.

   'Apprentice Trick - Ignition... A real supernatural power...'

   After a while, he lit the fuel lamp and extinguished the flame on his fingertips, ready to start cleaning up the mess left by the original owner in front of him.

   He was busy rushing to class in the morning. He only had time to wipe it with his feet, and then went out in a hurry. He didn't even bring the dry food for noon, and the floor was still a mess.

  The stone house where the original owner lived was built by the Lapp School and provided the same single room for junior apprentices to live in.

   The area is not too small, about 50 square meters, and the overall shape is rectangular. On both sides of the entrance hall are the bathroom and the kitchen, followed by the bedroom, and further inside is a meditation room of about 10 square meters.

   And the pattern painted by the original owner was right next to the bed, occupying nearly half of the entire bedroom.

  There are scattered ceremonial items on it, and it should take a lot of work to clean up.

   took out the broom from the bathroom, and Colin was going to sweep the floor first.

  'The broken bones...sweep away, ordinary pebbles...throw it away, the crystals...keep it,...' He neatly cleaned up the ground.

'This is…'

   After a while, his movements suddenly stopped.

   reached out and grabbed a pure black ball in the center of the ritual pattern with no discernible material.

   His heart was full of doubts, there was no such thing in the original owner's memory.

   The slender and white palm of the right hand gradually approached the black ball, but just as it was about to touch it, it suddenly stopped.

  'This is not on Earth...everything has to be more cautious. ’

  Colin secretly thought in his heart, he wanted to take back his hand and find something else in hand to deal with.

   But a chill came from the right hand unexpectedly!

   Colin's eyes widened, and the egg-sized black ball turned into a strange mist, gradually spreading to his body along the palm of his hand that he had not yet had time to withdraw.

   He staggered to his feet, raised his arms, and watched the eerie black mist fill his body step by step at an extremely fast speed! Eyes full of horror.

   Forearm, shoulder, chest, just in an instant, the fog spreads under the head!

   Then, the mist seemed to have found its target, and they gathered together and rushed towards the head.

  Shoo!

   Colin's head buzzed, and he staggered onto the bed.

  …………

   The next morning, the sky was dimly lit.

   bang bang bang!

  There are regular knocks on the door outside the stone house,

   Colin fell on the bed, his eyelids trembled slightly, but he didn't wake up.

   The knocking on the door continued for a while, and when no one opened the door, it gradually stopped.

  呲—呲—

   The next second, a brown letter was stuffed through the crack of the door.

  The sturdy kraft paper makes a slight friction sound against the floor, and the red and blue varnished seal is firmly adhered to the envelope seal, and the pattern is intertwined flames.

   After a while, after a slight sound of salsa writing, another piece of paper was tucked next to the envelope.

   And then, the sound of footsteps walking away.

  The sun gradually rose from the sea level, gilding the blue sea like a jewel with gold. After a while, the morning light penetrated through the gap of the wooden window and fell on the wood-grained floor, then moved slowly, and gradually climbed onto the bed, shining on Colin's pale face.

   After a while, Colin's slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he finally slowly opened his eyes.

  The sun was dazzling, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand to cover it.

   Immediately afterwards, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly sat up, stood by the bed, looked around, raised his hands again, stretched them out, and looked back and forth carefully.

   The palms are white and full, the arms are slender and healthy, there is no extra hair, and there are no extra tentacles, and then check the whole body... and everything is normal.

   Colin let out a long breath.

   He frowned slightly, a strange feeling lingering in his heart,

   hesitated for a while, and he moved according to the feeling.

   Dense light golden particles suddenly appeared in front of him, and finally slowly converged into a boxy golden paper.

   Colin's eyes widened.

  The gold paper is densely interlaced with many strange and beautiful black lines.

   For some reason, this line inexplicably reminded him of the black ball last night.

   And this golden paper…

   He suddenly remembered: 'Isn't this the handicraft he bought at the flea market in his previous life? ! ’

  ‘…Could this be my golden finger? ! ’

  The changes continued, and on the gold paper, those weird black lines suddenly wriggled and twisted.

   After a while, it turned into a few lines of words that he was most familiar with.

  【Name: Colin Leonard】

  [Level: Junior Wizard Apprentice (53/100)]

  【Meditation: Apprenticeship Ring Meditation (78/100)】

  [Witchcraft: Ignition (87/100); Condensation (68/100); Brightness (41/100)]

  [Breakpoint: 0]

   At the same time, two more pieces of information came—

  Before the limit, any practice will lead to progress.

After the    limit, you can use the limit breaking point to break the limit and continue to improve.

   His heart was beating violently uncontrollably. Colin took a deep breath for a while, then seemed to think of something and stretched out his right hand.

   scoff.

  The orange-red flames flickered at the fingertips, and then went out again.

   Colin put down his hand and exhaled, and with a thought, he called out the golden paper.

  The light golden particles converged, and the black text appeared again.

   His eyes swept down quickly. In the witchcraft column, after the ignition, the ↑ symbol suddenly appeared, then gradually disappeared, and finally changed back to 87/100.

   Colin was overjoyed. Although the progress of the ignition technique did not change, he could clearly feel the progress... The mana consumption seemed to be reduced a bit, and the flame seemed to be a little more stable.

   "Anyone who cultivates, will there be progress..."

   His heart was beating violently, and he took several deep breaths without any relief.

   He walked quickly to the wall, opened the window, and the bright oncoming light made his eyes slightly narrow, and after getting used to it, he let himself look into the distance.

  Under the sunlight, the boundless blue sea in the distance shone brightly, and flocks of white seabirds swept lowly from above, making chirping calls.

   A gust of sea breeze gently brushed his face with a damp breath, and he was relaxed and happy, and he finally calmed down.

The appearance of   Gold Paper finally dispelled a lot of the oppressive haze lingering in his heart.

  This world is too dangerous!

   Weird ritual, strange world, March deadline, strange green flames in the distance from the gathering place last night...

  Now...he finally has something to rely on.

  ‘But it’s not time to relax yet. ' He exhaled his breath, cheered up, and walked towards the meditation room, ready to plan his next plan there!

  Click.

   The next second, Colin stopped moving forward. He raised his foot suspiciously. Underneath was a crushed white shell.

   Last night, I suddenly fell into a coma in the middle of cleaning up, and the place is still a mess.

   He thought for a while, then bent down and picked up the broom on the ground.

   "...Let's clean up this place first, in case others find traces of the ritual."

   Then he touched his stomach again and decided to finish cleaning before going to have a meal.

   After all, he hasn't eaten anything since yesterday.

   Colin withdrew his gaze from the kitchen and prepared to sweep the floor.

   But the next second, he looked up at the door again.

  Under the wooden door, lay a brown letter and a white paper quietly.

   The breeze passing through the gap between the door panel and the ground was blowing the white paper slightly.

   Colin frowned slightly, dropped his broom, and walked towards the door.
