The white porcelain plate in his hand slipped and fell into the sink again, colliding with the bottom of the sink and making a crisp sound.
Renee patted her chest and subconsciously turned her head to look out the window.
Tonight, for some unknown reason, there were always sudden shouts or quarrels, which made her startled.
I picked up the white porcelain plate again and was about to continue cleaning it.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
At the gate of the small courtyard, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Renee frowned slightly... It's so late, who would come to visit at this time.
She put down the porcelain plate, waved her hand, and stepped forward to open the door.
"Is this Lord Colin's home?"
After opening the door, what greeted me was a gloomy man with a smile on his face.
For some reason, looking at his warm and flattering smile, Renee felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Next to the man was a thin figure, covered with a gray hood, his head lowered, and his appearance could not be clearly seen.
"Yes, this is the home of Wizard Colin." Renee replied.
When Mulan heard this, he looked happy and subconsciously wanted to step in.
"Sorry, sir, the master is in retreat for research, and it is temporarily unavailable to receive guests." Renee moved lightly and blocked the door.
As soon as Colin came back today, he specifically ordered her not to accept visits from other people for the time being, except for Lillian, a few familiar people. She kept this in mind.
In fact, this was the case every time Colin went into retreat, requiring her to try her best to politely refuse visitors.
Mulan was slightly startled and emphasized:
"I have something important to ask Lord Colin."
"Sorry, sir, the master had an order..."
Renee shook her head and responded softly.
Colin had specifically emphasized the importance of this matter to her.
When he was in seclusion, if Lillian and others came to visit, they could only stay in the reception room and not go even half a step closer to the meditation room or the basement.
As for the rest, no matter who they are, as long as they are not official wizards, they should be kept away as politely as possible.
Naturally, the male wizard in front of him would not be an official wizard.
Renee recognized the school badge on Mulan's chest...there were no golden feathers, only three silver feathers, which meant that he was just a senior wizard apprentice.
"If Mr. Colin is temporarily inconvenient, can you please let us go into the reception room and wait." Mulan suppressed the anger in his heart, tried to force a smile and asked, while giving Renee the money bag in his hand.
Renee subconsciously took half a step back. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she saw a flash of red in Mulan's eyes.
"Sorry, sir, I can't let you in without the master's permission." After calming down, she continued to refuse, preparing to hand the stuffed money bag back to the gloomy man.
At this moment, the thin figure behind Mulan suddenly moved.
Wow!!
As if using some witchcraft, Liva rushed past Mulan towards Colin's yard with lightning speed!
Renee was unable to dodge and was pushed aside.
"Liva...you!"
Mulan was shocked. He didn't expect Liva to be able to get rid of the control of the puppet technique...when exactly.
In the courtyard.
Liva's footsteps slowly stopped, turned around, and stared at Mulan.
Although it is only a few meters away from the previous location, in terms of security, it is completely different.
In fact, when Mulan caught up with her earlier, she had left a backup plan and was not completely controlled by the puppet technique.
I was just waiting for the right moment to escape... Unfortunately, I didn't see the law enforcement team at all along the way.
It was only now, when Mulan was talking to Renee, that she decisively seized the opportunity and escaped from Mulan.
Although there are many thoughts in my mind, reality only passes in an instant.
Liva, who was standing in the courtyard, looked at Mulan, who had a twisted and angry face, and was about to say something.
Wow!!
But in the next second, several green vines with thick arms and golden veins suddenly attacked her.
So fast, so powerful!
In addition, Liva had just escaped from the crisis and was at the time when she was most relaxed. She was caught off guard and was pulled out of the small courtyard again before she could react.
Then, the moment she flew out of the small courtyard.
Bang!
The door to the small courtyard was also closed.
"call--"
Renee let out a breath and lowered her raised wrist.
"Thank you, Nado." she said softly.
As the number of plants that are assimilated increases, Nado will gradually gain simple intelligence.
With Colin's authorization, she also has some authority to control Nado.
the other side.
In the basement.
Colin frowned slightly and woke up from his meditation.
'Nado... seems to be doing something strange.'
He quickly stood up, empowered himself with the newly broken defensive magic, and walked quickly out of the basement.
But at this moment.
"I see--"
The mighty sound seemed to reach the sky, disregarding all obstacles, and was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone in Huapei Street.
"Stupid god, spend so much effort just for this?"
The voice came from nowhere, and its tone was full of disappointment and disdain.
Colin's steps stopped and his body stiffened slightly.
Although he couldn't see the owner of the voice, he felt as if he was being watched by a large beast, and the trembling feeling made his throat go dry.
next moment.
The air seemed to turn into liquid, and a clearly visible translucent ripple came from nowhere and suddenly appeared in front of him, then quickly swept across his body and continued to spread outward.
"Ahhhh!!"
Immediately afterwards, screams sounded one after another.
One of them was very close to him, as if it was at the entrance of the small courtyard.
Colin took a deep breath, suppressed the trembling in his heart, and walked quickly to the small courtyard.
Looking around, no enemies came in, but the screams became clearer and louder, right outside the door.
"Renee, what's wrong?" he asked softly.
Renee briefly explained what happened just now. After listening, Colin frowned.
The screams outside the door continued, but he had no intention of opening the door.
After a while, the screams gradually stopped,
At the same time, Colin keenly noticed that wizard figures flew by in mid-air from time to time.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
Regular knocking on the door suddenly sounded.
Colin pondered for a moment, then with a thought in his mind, he controlled Nado to open the door.
A female apprentice with a pale face and a frightened expression appeared in front of him.
"Master, this is one of the wizards who just came to visit." Renee reminded.
"Liva?" Colin frowned slightly.
"Colin...my lord."
Liva looked at Colin with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Just now, after the sound, Mulan, who was attacking her, suddenly froze on the spot, then screamed and fell down, blood pouring out from all parts of his body.
He seems to be unconscious now...
Still in shock, she subconsciously knocked on Colin's door.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a graceful figure suddenly fell from the sky.
"Your Excellency Margaret."
After seeing the figure clearly, Colin was shocked. He ignored Liva at the door and subconsciously walked towards Margaret who fell from the sky.
"I didn't expect you to live here... Assist me in cleaning the streets of Lieu Saint, Colin from the Tin Saint School." Margaret looked at Colin with some surprise and said calmly.
Then she seemed to be afraid that Colin wouldn't understand, so she explained with rare interest:
"Do you still remember the two incidents involving believers in gods that happened in Huapei Street? This time it's similar, but we took the initiative!"
"We, a group of wizards, are about to leave. In order to completely clean up the remnants of the gods in the city of Neustadt before we leave, and ensure the safety of the city."
"Nine university factions have jointly launched a secret operation. Now, it is at the final stage."
"Since you live here, you must be familiar with the streets of Lieu Saint. I need your help."
Colin was slightly shocked, silently digesting the sudden information.
"Let's go, don't wait any longer," Margaret urged.
Then, she seemed to have discovered something. She let out a light sigh, stopped preparing to take off, and suddenly walked towards the door.
Colin followed closely in confusion.
Seeing Margaret coming, Liva, who was standing at the door, subconsciously moved out of the way, came to the side and lowered her head and greeted respectfully: "Sir."
But it seemed that she was just air in Margarita's eyes. Margarita didn't even look at her, but just walked forward quickly.
As for Colin...he doesn't have the extra energy to pay attention to Liva.
Although Margaret's words were not long, the information behind them was not small at all.
Unexpectedly, in the face of two attacks by believers of gods, the nine sects in the city had already secretly prepared a counterattack...
He hadn't heard anything about it...
Colin even felt that even his mentor and Lilian might not know about this matter.
The Xisheng School... is only a subsidiary school of the Ishtar School after all.
While digesting the information Margaret just revealed, he followed Margaret's footsteps and passed by Liva.
After a while, Margaret stopped and said,
She stared at the figure on the ground in front of her and murmured:
"Poor creature tainted by the gods..."
'God pollution?'
Just when Colin was confused and ready to ask.
boom!!
A scorching golden ray suddenly shot towards the blood-covered figure on the ground in front!
Just like igniting paper, under the influence of invisible force, the figure burned in just an instant.
A human-shaped torch appeared in front of Colin, illuminating his surprised face.
By the light of the golden ray, if he saw correctly, the figure was clearly the same Mulan he had just seen this morning!
"Let's go." Margaret retracted her arm and turned to him.
"Yes." After a moment of silence, Colin responded.
Then he turned his head and quickly gave instructions to Renee who was following him,
"Go back and hide with Demi. Nado will protect you."
Wow!!
After doing this, he didn't waste any more time, used the Flying Submarine Technique, and followed Margaret into the sky.
As he left, Renee walked into the yard.
The plants in the yard began to sway one after another, making a rustling sound.
The branches and leaves of the ancient tree spread outward out of thin air, and the thick vines climbed all over the wall like long snakes...
Then, with a clang, the courtyard door closed tightly.
Isolating the outside world, it also isolated Liva who was still standing by the door.
Liva stood outside the door, staring at the closed door with a confused look on her face.
Subconsciously raising her head, she looked at the back of Colin leaving with the powerful wizard in the sky not far away...
There are mixed feelings in my heart.
There was both shame and anger at being ignored by Colin, and shock that Colin had become an official wizard.
Even, a little confused...
Just like that, she stood frozen in place.
I don't know how long it took before I suddenly woke up and walked quickly towards a safe place.
