As he got closer, what caught Colin's eyes was a ball of blackened embers the size of half a man.
This is the only remains left after the multi-eyed arthropod monster was burned by the flames.
It seemed that the burning was too thorough. Colin observed it repeatedly for a long time, but did not get any useful information.
He stood up and waved his staff again.
Swish——
The evil-detecting witchcraft light was emitted from the top of the dark gold-patterned scepter and quickly spread to the surroundings. Under the influence of his full output of magic power, it soon covered the entire theater.
Colin scanned the area carefully and found no signs of any abnormalities in the empty theater.
He waved the Scepter of Folly again uneasily, slightly increasing the price he paid.
Enhanced detection of evil witchcraft sweeps across the entire theater.
The results transmitted did not change, and there were still no traces of any abnormality.
Colin pondered for a moment and then closed his eyes slightly.
The discomfort that originally existed in my soul has disappeared without a trace.
It seems...the incident at the theater has been resolved.
At this time.
Ta-ta-ta--
The sound of neat footsteps suddenly came from the theater passage, which was also mixed with the sound of metal armor clashing.
The next second, Hayden and the leader of the Yili Knights led a group of knights and ran out of the passage.
"Sir Colin." Hayden glanced around and felt a little relieved.
Then he said to Colin, "His Majesty the King ordered us to come and help."
Although he said this, he knew in his heart that the role of people like him was more like cannon fodder.
However, it seems that the situation in the theater is now under control.
"The monsters have been dealt with, let's clean up the battlefield." Colin said.
When Hayden heard this, he felt completely relieved.
"Yes, sir!" He lowered his head and replied, then turned and walked towards the knight leader, probably preparing to assign some tasks.
Colin, on the other hand, walked quickly outside the theater.
Since traveling to Blackstone Island, he has encountered countless incidents, many of which were unexplainable.
Like the Yili Kingdom Theater, since the current detection methods and strength can no longer detect abnormalities, then staying here is just unfounded worry and does not make much sense.
It is better to seize the time and rush to the Holy Flame Kingdom, fulfill the promise made to Erica as soon as possible, and go to the Wizards Alliance to rule.
The City of Miracles...he has been looking forward to it for a long time.
After walking out of the theater, Wilder was standing outside waiting anxiously. When he saw him coming out, his eyes lit up with joy and he quickly greeted him:
"Sir Colin!"
"The situation inside...?"
"It has been solved." Colin nodded, and then added, "At least with my current methods, I can no longer find anything strange."
Wilder nodded, his expression finally relaxed.
Then he said: "Sir Colin, the Kingdom of Yili will remember your help today."
Colin observed Wilder's expression, suddenly smiled, and said: "Just don't blame me for killing the wizard worshiped by you in the Kingdom of Yili."
Wilder's expression changed slightly and he smiled awkwardly: "Of course not."
Colin did not hold on to this matter anymore, he just smiled and continued: "Tell me, what is the better way to get to the Holy Flame Kingdom that you mentioned before?"
Wilder's expression calmed down slightly, he looked around and said, "It's freezing outside, so why not go to the palace to find a more comfortable place? I'll..."
"No need." Colin interrupted, "I'm in a hurry."
Wilder paused and explained: "Sir Colin, this is it."
"The better way I am talking about is actually that there will be a caravan airship passing through the Kingdom of Yili tomorrow to replenish supplies, and their subsequent route will happen to pass through the Kingdom of Holy Flame."
"If I remember correctly, wizards have come to the Kingdom of Yili in the past and boarded the airship of this caravan.
I guess that as a wizard, you should be able to take their airship directly to the Holy Flame Kingdom with the magic stone."
"If we can take the airship...at its speed, we should be able to reach the Kingdom of Holy Flame by tomorrow evening."
Wilder smiled and said: "If you want to take the caravan airship, you need to wait until tomorrow morning."
"So...if you are willing, you can stay in the palace tonight."
Colin did not answer, but asked first: "Are you sure the caravan will arrive at the Kingdom of Yili on time tomorrow?"
Wilder nodded without hesitation and said: "This has been the case every three months for the past ten years, and the time has never changed."
In fact, he didn't know whether the airship was a caravan or what it did...
But it does come on time every three months, and there have indeed been wandering wizards who took advantage of the magic stone to ride on it.
But just in case, Wilder continued to add: "If the airship does not arrive as scheduled tomorrow...the Yili royal family owns a batch of Warcraft hybrid horses, and I would like to give you two as a gift.
If we go to the Holy Flame Kingdom at their speed, we can arrive at least two or three days earlier than riding on the ordinary horses that were given to you before."
When Colin heard this, he nodded slightly.
"So Sir Colin, are you going to stay at the palace tonight?" Wilder continued to ask.
Naturally, he wanted Colin to stay in the palace...or at least stay in the Kingdom of Yili tonight.
On the one hand, I want to have a good relationship with Colin, and on the other hand, I want to see if there will continue to be abnormalities in Chanuca City tonight...
After pondering for a moment, Colin nodded and said, "Okay."
If there really is an airship, then obviously taking the airship is his best choice.
Twenty minutes later.
Outside the Yingbin Manor of Yili Palace.
King Wilder took Colin out of the carriage.
"Sir Colin, we have arrived at the Yingbin Manor. The room we have arranged for you is the same as last time... As for your maid, Knight Hayden has already gone to the north city gate to call her, and she will surely arrive in a while."
"Yeah." Colin nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Wilder paused and then said: "I wonder if you have time tonight, I would like to invite you to have dinner with me."
After saying this, he paused and added: "Connie will also have dinner with us."
When Connie heard this, she was confused at first, then her heart skipped a beat, she smoothed her hair and looked a little embarrassed.
She only admired Colin and had no other intentions.
"No need." Colin shook his head and refused.
With this kind of time, it is better to sort out what I got from Yili and Anthony today.
Wilder nodded calmly and said nothing more.
He was just talking politely.
"Sir Colin, I will take my leave now. I will find someone to inform you when the caravan arrives tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned to Connie who was standing aside and said softly: "Quickly say goodbye to Mr. Colin."
Connie came back to her senses and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Colin."
"goodbye."
With a smile on his face, Wilder saluted Colin again, then turned around and took Connie into the carriage.
Click——
The carriage door was closed, blocking the view of the outside world, and the smile on Wilder's face gradually disappeared and became cold.
drive!
The groom cracked his whip.
Ta-ta-ta--
The luxurious carriage galloped quickly on the neat stone road, leaving Yingbin Manor far behind in a short time.
After a while, we came to an intersection.
In the carriage, Wilder's sad and cold face softened slightly, he opened the curtain and said to the groom in front of him:
"Change to the wizard's palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The groom pulled the reins and changed the route to the left to go to the palace where Ivan and Antony previously lived.
Putting down the dark golden curtain, Wilder sighed slightly.
Although the incident in the theater has been resolved, Ivan and Anthony, the wizards worshiped by the Kingdom of Yili, are now dead...
But if nothing else happens, Colin will leave tomorrow.
What if after he leaves, the Kingdom of Erie encounters strange events again.
Then he can only rely on paid assistance from nearby schools of thought like other poor and weak countries around him.
However, the school's assistance is not reliable. Whether it is time, effect, or other aspects, it is not as convenient and effective as worshiping a wizard yourself.
In terms of time alone, it is very difficult to solve.
If you encounter a strange incident.
The Kingdom of Yili first needs to convey the news of the strange encounter to the school...
If it were passed to the school closest to the Kingdom of Yili, and the horse was still riding a Warcraft hybrid horse raised by the royal family, it would take at least twenty days to get there one way.
In this way, it would take at least forty days to go back and forth. This is even if the school sends people immediately.
But generally speaking, the school cannot send people immediately, so it will take at least two months to go back and forth...
Of course, there are other ways to notify the school, but it will take at least half a month.
Half a month...most weird events can change a lot in even an hour, let alone half a month.
Wilder couldn't help but sigh again.
It is impossible to say that he does not complain about Colin.
But...he can only stop at complaining, there is no use in holding grudges...and he doesn't dare.
After a while.
The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and the wizard's palace arrived.
Wilder stepped out of the carriage.
He came here to put away the things left by Ivan and Anthony for future use.
Arriving in front of the palace door, Haiden next to him took a step forward and knocked hard on the palace door.
Not long after, a graceful female knight opened the door.
This was the female knight who opened the door for them earlier today.
Wilder didn't remember her name...after all, it was just Anthony's plaything.
"Your Majesty the King." The female knight greeted calmly, bowing slightly as usual, and then refused the King's visit.
"Ivan and Lord Anthony..."
Wilder was worried and didn't want to talk to her anymore. He turned to Hayden beside him and gestured slightly.
Hayden understood it and strode forward, pushing aside the female knight to let him out of the doorway.
"You?!" The female knight looked shocked and looked at Hayden angrily. Her face, which was originally pretty, now became distorted and ugly due to anger.
She subconsciously wanted to fight back, but she quickly reacted and stopped her movements.
Although she and Hayden are both knights, she is just a junior knight who was forcibly promoted through witchcraft, while Hayden is a veteran knight who has experienced hundreds of battles... There is no comparison between the two.
sex.
She lowered her face and did not look at Hayden. She turned to Wilder and said: "Your Majesty Wilder, are you just watching your knight treat me like this... If Sir Anthony knows about this, what do you think?
What do you think?"
Wilder frowned, his expression becoming increasingly impatient.
These women always feel as if they have a wizard as their backer and can do whatever they want, but in fact everyone knows that they are just playthings.
If there is a conflict, Anthony will never fall out with him because of such a toy...
He didn't want to waste his time and continued to move forward.
Hayden followed closely behind and whispered to her as he passed by:
"Anthony and Ivan are both dead."
The female knight was shocked and in disbelief at first, and then her face turned pale.
"Dead? How is that possible?!"
"Anthony and Mr. Ivan just went out at noon today, and it's not yet evening..."
After hearing the female knight's murmur, Wilder in front suddenly stopped, turned to look at the female knight, and asked doubtfully:
"Didn't Ivan and Antony return to the palace after going out with us at noon?"
The female knight had a look of panic at this time. Seeing Wilder's question, she quickly knelt down and replied tremblingly:
"Back to Your Majesty the King, Anthony... and Ivan went out with you at noon and have not come back since."
When Wilder heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
He remembered that after Anthony and Ivan inspected the Tower of Flesh in the theater, they told him that they needed to return here to get some necessary ritual items.
Judging from the length of time they were away, it was more than enough time to return here...
Haven't you ever come back?
Wilder had a sudden thought and quickened his pace to arrive at the residence of Ivan and his wife.
After searching carefully, there was almost nothing of value left inside, only some daily necessities such as beds and quilts.
Seeing this scene, a terrible suspicion slowly emerged in my mind.
A large amount of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Wilder's back.
At that time, Ivan and Anthony did not come back to pick up any items needed for the ceremony!
But he has quietly left!
He opened his mouth and gasped softly.
If there is no Colin, if Colin does not come back...
"Hayden, prepare the car and go to Yingbin Manor.
I would like to thank Mr. Colin very much!"
Wilder took a deep breath and solemnly gave instructions to the knight Hayden outside the door, his tired eyes full of joy.
…
Yingbin Manor.
It's still the two-story western-style building at the end of the corridor.
Even the maid waiting next to me is still the same person.
Walking to the door, the receptionist stopped slowly, took out the key from her waist, and opened the door gently.
Then he took off the key, turned around and handed it to Colin with respectful hands.
"The key is given to you, sir."
"Yes." Colin took the key and walked towards the room.
"Sir," the reception maid Joan suddenly asked, "do you want dinner?"
Her head was slightly lowered, and she did not dare to look directly into Colin's eyes, feeling a little uneasy inside.
She thought Colin had left, but she didn't expect that it was only in the afternoon and Colin returned to Yingbin Manor again.
Moreover, this time she could see clearly that it was His Majesty the King who personally sent the wizard here, with a very respectful expression.
She was inevitably a little worried.
Although she asked Kathy to go to the kitchen at the end last time and fetch dinner for Colin and others, her attitude at the beginning was not very good...
Joan lowered her head and waited for Colin's answer.
But this time.
Ta-ta-ta--
Clear footsteps sounded on the corridor.
Colin raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly. It was King Wilder arriving with Hayden.
"Your Excellency Colin." Wilder came closer, smiled and said angrily, "I have thought about it, Your Excellency Colin, you saved the city of Chanuka, and even saved the entire Kingdom of Yili. How can I not thank you!"
"Of course, I also know that Mr. Colin, you are dedicated to your cultivation, so the thank you is not a banquet..."
Having said this, he paused and then said: "Do you know why the Kingdom of Yili can invite two wizards to worship it?"
