Explosions, shouts and roars, the sound of bricks breaking and collapsing...
The sound of fighting rang almost all night long, and finally stopped just before the sun was about to break.
Rue Sainte-Leue, Colin's residence.
Colin slowly walked out of the master bedroom and went to the huge terrace on the second floor facing Little Street. He leaned slightly and leaned against the white stone railing of the terrace. The breeze lifted the hair from his forehead.
At this time, the sun has not yet risen from the ground, but the world is no longer pitch black.
In addition to the lights he turned on here, the firelight on Lite Street in the distance had not dimmed yet, making the sky reddish and shiny.
After a while.
While Renee was making breakfast and knocking on his door, a golden light quietly appeared on the left side of the sky.
‘It’s time to leave.’ Colin took a deep breath and turned around silently.
He had packed up all the things he needed last night, and was just waiting to have breakfast before setting off to meet at the Ishtar School's headquarters.
Not long after.
When the sky lit up with red glow, Colin also finished his breakfast.
"Master, have a safe journey."
At the door, Renee took Demi and blessed him together.
"Yeah." Colin nodded, without saying anything more. With a thought, his toes suddenly lifted off the ground and were slightly suspended.
The morning breeze blew the tips of his hair, the sunlight coated him with a layer of gold, and the gray witch robe swayed slightly.
"Owner."
Just as he was about to fly away, Renee suddenly stopped him again as if he had thought of something.
Colin turned his head in confusion.
Renee fumbled for a moment, took out a money bag from her body, and handed it to him.
"This is?"
"The wizard forced it on me last night when he came to my door. I wanted to give it back to him, but then..."
Renee explained why.
Rubbing the gray money bag in his hand, Colin frowned slightly.
'Mulan's magic stone?'
After pondering for a moment, he put the money bag into the storage ring.
He's not that pedantic.
Mulan is already a dead man, so naturally this money bag is an ownerless thing...it is his right to get it.
"Look after your home."
After doing this, he gave Renee instructions.
The next second.
Whoosh!
He no longer hesitated and flew quickly in the direction of the Ishtar School.
Renee watched silently from behind as Colin walked away.
It wasn't until Colin was no longer visible in his field of vision that he withdrew his gaze, slowly touched Demi's head, and led her into the house after closing the door.
………………
"Ring ring ring——"
Outside a white house, Colin rang the doorbell of the small courtyard.
He originally wanted to go directly to the Ishtar School, but unexpectedly Renee gave him an unexpected surprise, which gave him more magic stones.
So he came to Lilian and planned to return the magic stones he had borrowed in the past to Lilian.
"Junior Colin..."
Not long after, Lilian walked out of her home and looked at him in surprise.
"Good morning, Senior Sister Lillian." Colin said. He was about to tell the reason for coming when he heard Lillian say.
"Weren't you at home last night?"
"Yes." Colin shook his head in confusion.
"Do you know about the battle on Lite Street last night?" Lilian was also a little confused.
"When I went to Lite Street to check the situation last night, I happened to pass by where you live. I called several times but no one responded. Nado resisted me and left, so she left..."
"Were you at home last night?"
"I was called by the wizards of the Ishtar School to help. Only the maids were at home at the time. I told them to hide...perhaps I didn't hear your voice." Colin was slightly startled and quickly explained.
"I see..." Lilian nodded and asked after a moment of silence, "Do you know what happened last night?"
Colin nodded.
"Yes." Lily paused for a moment and then said: "The gods are fierce and insidious. You have just advanced. You must be careful when going to the southern sea this time."
"good."
"Um...why did you come to see me?"
Colin finally found a chance to explain his purpose. He took out the magic stone from the storage ring and handed it to Lilian.
"Senior Lillian, I'm here to repay the magic stone I lent you."
Lilian was stunned for a moment, looked up at him in surprise, and reached out to take the magic stone.
Seeing this, Colin felt as if a big stone had been lifted from his heart, and he felt inexplicably lighter.
Debt-free and light-hearted...Don't deceive me sincerely.
Next, he chatted with Lilian for a while, and then rushed towards the Ishtar School's headquarters.
………………
"Sir Colin."
"Your Excellency Colin..."
When they came to meet the Ishtar School, many apprentices from the Alseus Society had already arrived. Seeing his arrival, they were all saying hello to him.
Colin nodded in response and came to the instructor's position...he was the only one here now.
The rest of the accompanying wizards still have a future.
Among apprentices.
"Lex, where are the Mulans?"
A short and fat wizard apprentice came to Lex and asked him in a low voice.
"It's still early, maybe it will come after a while, don't worry." Lex reassured.
"At such an important time today, isn't Mulan afraid of not being able to catch up?"
Next to Lex, another wizard apprentice also complained.
"Speaking of which, did you hear that sound last night?"
"You mean the voice of the Lord of Neuss?" Lex asked subconsciously. He just learned this information from his mentor this morning.
"It turns out that is the voice of the Lord of Neuss..."
The surrounding apprentices all sighed. For them, the Lord of Neuss City was undoubtedly an unattainable big shot.
"Do you know what happened last night?" Another apprentice asked.
"Last night... Master Mi Lu!" A disciple suddenly greeted the other side respectfully.
Lex turned around and saw that Mi Lu, another first-level wizard accompanying him, had arrived.
"Lord Milu." He greeted respectfully.
Mi Lu ignored the greetings of the apprentices, walked to the instructor's position with a calm face, and asked.
"Good morning, Sir Colin."
"Good morning." Colin responded.
The two of them were not familiar with each other, so after exchanging pleasantries, they fell into silence.
It was not until the time of departure that Meyer and Sowok arrived one after another that the atmosphere became less awkward.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Do you all know what happened last night?" Meyer asked first.
"Last night?" Sowok asked in confusion, "Did something big happen last night?"
Although the location of the Silver Ring Station is also in the south of Neustadt City, it is under the jurisdiction of the Istad School like Lit Street.
But if we take the Ishtar School's headquarters as the center, Nalit Street and the Silver Ring Station happen to be the two farthest sections.
Although he heard the sound of fighting last night, by the time it reached the Silver Ring station in the north, the noise was not very loud, so he didn't take it to heart.
"Does Mr. Meyer know any news?" Mi Lu asked curiously.
Colin remained silent. If he hadn't happened to meet Margaret, a wizard from the affiliated school last night, he would have been like people like Mi Lu...knowing nothing.
"To be honest with you, I don't know exactly what happened last night..." Meier shook his head and replied.
Then he turned to look at Colin and said, "I remember that the headquarters of the Xisheng School is in Huapei Street... Sir Colin, do you know what happened last night?"
Colin nodded, and just when he was about to answer, a female voice came.
"There is no need to secretly speculate. Last night was a secret operation by the nine major sects to jointly sweep away the believers of gods. It has been successfully concluded and a great success!"
Margaret fell from the sky, and the air flow brought up a cloud of gray dust.
She was smiling, and although her face was a little sleepy, she seemed to be in a particularly good mood... I wonder if she got any benefits last night.
Then she turned around, looked back at the apprentices standing in front of her, and spoke slowly.
"Some of you should already know a few words, and you should also have discovered that some of the apprentices you just met yesterday have not arrived yet..."
"Originally, your school will receive a detailed notice after a while today, but you will follow me to the airship soon... At the request of the school, I will briefly say a few words."
"First of all, those apprentices who didn't come... well, those unlucky ones who were contaminated by the gods, if nothing else happened, they should have died last night."
As soon as Margaret finished speaking, the apprentices were a little stunned.
Although the incident last night was not small, the scope of the incident was not particularly large. It was just the entire Huapei neighborhood, and the voice of Lord Neuss only covered that area.
Therefore, except for the apprentices of the Xisheng School, the other apprentices actually don't know much.
But such information, such a secret operation with great success, needs to be kept strictly confidential when it is carried out, and after it is completed, it also needs to be publicized.
Especially when these apprentices are about to go to the southern sea...
"Lex! Mulan hasn't come yet?!"
The apprentices beside Lex looked ugly and asked him one after another.
"I don't know either..." Lex shook his head, his heart sinking... Could Mulan be dead as Lady Margaret said?
Above, Margaret continued to speak.
"The believers lurking in the city this time correspond to two gods. His specific name should not be publicized... What you need to know is that various university sects have taken more than ten actions in total, most of which took place in Huapei Street..."
"But no matter what, at this moment all the believers of the gods lurking in the city of Neustadt have been eliminated, and the conspiracy plans secretly planned by the believers of the gods have also been nipped in the bud..."
Colin listened carefully to Margaret's speech... It turns out that there are actually two groups of believers in the gods in the city?
But soon, he noticed more crucial information——
Are the main gathering places for these god believers actually the Huapei Street District?!
You must know that Huapei Street...is the headquarters of the Xisheng School.
For some reason, his heart sank slightly.
According to Margaret, in this invasion by the believers of the gods, all the believers of the gods and polluters have been eliminated.
But this doesn't mean the matter ends here.
...The Xisheng School, which is usually in charge of Huapei District, will probably inevitably be held accountable.
Colin sighed secretly.
As a member of the school, in the general direction, he and the school both prospered and suffered losses...
But... fortunately, this incident did not lead to greater consequences, and the punishment should not be too big.
On the other side, Margaret's speech also came to an end.
"In the past hundred years, the wizarding world was temporarily peaceful, and there was no large-scale arrival of gods.
But now in the southern sea, the gods are sweeping in again. This is the reason why the location of the Alseus meeting was changed from the secret realm to the southern sea this time."
Margaret looked serious.
"I won't say any more unnecessary words, but I believe you all know that gods are the eternal mortal enemies of wizards..."
Looking around, none of the apprentices in the audience looked relaxed. Although Margaret said it euphemistically, they all understood——
This Athios Conference is probably very different from the previous ones...
The possibility of life-threatening danger is countless times higher than before...
"Come with me."
Margaret finally said, taking the lead and walking towards the carriage convoy outside the door.
The carriage convoy of the Ishtar School was parked on the road outside the small courtyard, forming a long queue.
Margaret got into the private carriage at the front alone.
The carriage is pure gray in color, as cold as lime cement, and the alien horse with Warcraft blood that pulls the carriage is also like a carriage, with pure gray fur and two short horns on both sides of its head.
The formal wizards of their four affiliated schools got into the four carriages prepared for them at the back.
After all the apprentices got on the carriage, Margaret's carriage in front started to move in time.
"drive!"
The horses' hooves move and the wheels spin.
Colin gently lifted the gray curtain of the carriage and looked back.
As if the carriages carved out of a mold were lined up in a long line, speeding on the wide road, bringing up light smoke and dust...
Watching this scene, Colin was in a trance, and couldn't help but think of the wizard apprentices from the affiliated school who came after them wandering wizards when he joined the Tin Sage School in special carriages.
It was also a carriage convoy, just like this, with rolling wheels and a long queue.
However, unlike that time, he was no longer a wandering wizard apprentice standing outside the carriage and watching...
The departure location is at the central square of Neustadt.
Perhaps because Margaret's speech delayed some time, by the time they arrived at the central square, the place was almost densely packed with carriages.
Fortunately, it seemed that the area had been divided in advance, and Margaret's carriage took them to the far left position of the square.
"Uu——!"
The carriage stopped.
"Gather into a queue, stand here, don't move around, wait for my instructions, and prepare to board the boat."
Margaret ordered to the wizard apprentice who got off the carriage.
Colin stood behind Margaret, turned his head and looked around.
Speaking of which, this was the first time he actually set foot on the central square of Neustadt City... Although he had passed by it when going to Copper Rose Street in the past, he had never entered it.
Different from the empty central square we saw in the past, this place is much livelier now.
The most attractive thing among them is undoubtedly the three gray-blue steel airships, one large, two small, parked in the center!
Although he had never flown on an airplane in his previous life, and he had also flown on a steel airship once in this life... this could not stop the surprise in his heart now.
Nothing else...the size of the airships is really astonishing, the largest one is almost half the length of the square!
‘Is this the airship we’ll be riding on later…’ Colin couldn’t help but sigh.
