At the pier.

The originally clear water surface became darker due to the dim sky, like a piece of dark blue crystal. On its smooth surface, the orange sunset in the distance cast a gilded shadow.

when.

Colin stepped onto the white steel gangway on the side of the Petrel, causing the ship to shake slightly unconsciously.

The deep blue crystal under the boat rippled as if melting, and the red-gold reflection also rippled.

"Sir, I will send you here. It's getting late, so I'll go back first." Maltz said to them, his face looking a little gloomy for some reason.

"Yeah." Colin nodded, and walked up the gangway to the Petrel along with Renee and others.

When they reached the deck, Colin looked back again.

Maltz's figure gradually faded away, and he had almost reached the end of the pier, seemingly in a hurry.

"Renee, prepare dinner and have some fresh vegetables tonight."

Withdrawing his gaze, Colin ordered Renee beside him.

Then he said to Maud behind him: "Come on, let's continue to solve your problem. I already have some clues."

"Okay, sir!" Maud looked delighted.

The two came to the meditation room next to the master cabin below the deck.

Sitting on the gray soft cushions opposite Maud, Colin flipped through two meditation books. After pondering for a moment, he began to speak slowly.

The circle meditation method he practiced during his own apprenticeship has broken the limit twice.

Although he is not a master in the apprenticeship meditation method, he is still much better than the average high-level wizard apprentice... This is why he agreed to Mod's request.

The setting sun gradually sank to the bottom of the sea, but the moon slowly rose.

On the blue sea level, the sparkling light path appeared again, but the color changed from red gold in the evening to silvery white.

Time passed gradually like this.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, Colin finally solved Maud's problem.

In fact, the solution to the problem is very simple... The reason why it took so long was mainly to let Maud understand the principles behind it.

Colin watched Maud's leaving figure and sighed softly.

This was not the first time he recognized the gap between wild wizards and school wizards.

But this time undoubtedly gave him a deeper and clearer understanding of this gap.

This does not mean that there is much difference in IQ between academic wizards and wild wizards.

The difference between the two is mainly in basic knowledge, learning framework, and logical thinking.

It is difficult for a wild wizard who has not received professional education from a school to have a perfect learning mindset.

This difference also makes it more difficult for wild wizards to learn new knowledge than wizards of the school, and it often takes more energy to learn it%

Colin shook his head, gathered his thoughts, and summoned the gold paper with a thought.

Dinner was already eaten during the lecture.

Now it's time to move on to the next step -

Withstand the fireball technique and high temperature, breaking the limit again!

…………

Geile Village.

There is a naturally formed cavity in the upper section of an astonishingly huge ancient tree.

Follow the path to the depths of the cave.

Teng!!

A group of green flames suddenly appeared in the ancient hall, emitting light and giving the entire cave hall an eerie atmosphere.

"This..." The face of the young man on duty changed drastically. He turned around and ran quickly out of the cave, shouting as he ran:

"The Light of Laelle has appeared in advance, please inform Lord Yule!"

His voice spread along the passage to the outside world, causing the originally silent village of Geilai to gradually boil.

A few minutes later.

The small wooden hall was already crowded with people, all wearing green clothes with unique light yellow patterns.

The leader is the handsome Yule, whose clothes are also green with unique light yellow patterns.

It's just that his clothes are more gorgeous and exquisite, and he wears a crown made of golden flowers on his head.

In the center of the wooden cave hall, a green flame floated out of thin air and burned silently.

Although there were many people present, they all kept their mouths shut and looked silent, unusually quiet.

But if you look closely, you can see that their eyes are all focused on Yule.

Feeling the gaze behind him, Yule let out a breath and walked toward the Light of Raelle.

When he reached the green flames, he raised his hands and reached in.

laugh!

A clearly audible burning sound sounded.

"Well!"

Yule groaned.

The light of Raelle had no temperature, but he felt as if his hands were being burned by real flames.

Big drops of sweat rolled down from his forehead and fell on the ancient tree at his feet, forming tiny water stains that were slowly absorbed by it.

Yule's face was pale, but his expression was very calm.

Enduring pain is the first lesson a priest learns.

After a while, he withdrew his hand and subconsciously wanted to make a fist.

But the palm of his hand did not move as he wanted, but remained frozen in place.

A trace of confusion flashed across Yule's calm face, but he quickly returned to calm. However, from his slightly trembling arms, you could still tell that his heart was not as calm as his face.

Swish.

He gave up his intention to move his palms and let his arms hang naturally.

As a new generation of priests, he knows better than anyone the price of contact with the Light of La'eliel.

First it was the palm, then the arm, then the foot... In the end, the whole person was just an empty shell of flesh and blood. Although he was still breathing, he was unconscious and could only lie on the bed like a living dead.

"Priest Youle, what message did Raelle convey this time?" the oldest man in the crowd asked.

Yule calmed down and dispelled the faint fear in his heart.

Although the fear subsided, thinking about the message delivered by Laelle, he could not relax in his heart.

He looked at the old village chief, paused, and slowly said: "Laelle requested to increase the number of sacrifices..."

"What?!"

Everyone shouted in low voices, showing surprise.

The rickety old village chief frowned, and the wrinkles on his face became more obvious with sadness.

"How could this happen?" He sighed.

But the next second, the emotion on his face quickly subsided, and he turned to everyone and calmly announced: "Follow the rules."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes." The rest of the people also quickly accepted the fact without any objection.

Then they all left, preparing to hold the selection ceremony.

Yule also followed him out of the cave hall.

"Malts." Suddenly, he frowned and called to someone not far away.

"Where are you going?!"

Maltz paused, turned around and said:

"I'm going to notify the travelers at the pier! The light of Laelle has appeared, and the Nightmare will definitely come tonight. I have to remind them!"

After saying that, he continued to turn around and run away.

An inexplicable look flashed in Yule's eyes, and he suddenly spoke again:

"Stop, Maltz."

Maltz looked back at him with a confused expression.

"This time, the Light of Laelle appeared earlier, and the number of sacrifices increased... Everything is different from before. It's best for you to stay in the village to avoid any accidents."

Yule explained in a deep voice, but if you look closely, you can find an inexplicable look in his eyes.
