The bright light streaked across the night sky, and Colin watched as her figure gradually disappeared, leaving no trace.
Withdrawing his gaze, he subconsciously looked south.
The dark night sky was covered with heavy curtains, covering everything without revealing anything.
After standing there for a moment, Colin turned around and walked towards the city of Sisoya behind him.
…
October 12th, noon.
Port of Sisoa, Isle of Quinte.
A three-story steel steam ship named Gray Whale is moored here.
Its destination is the distant continent of Asia.
On the gray deck, the sea breeze blew slowly.
Colin stood in front of the railing on the second floor, looking towards the south and tying up his messy hair.
Perhaps for Zeheti, it may only take two or three hours to get to Quinte Island from the Seven Southern Islands.
But for the news of the war to reach here, it takes far longer than this...
However, he couldn't wait any longer.
Woo——!
The whistle roared, and thin smoke drifted out from the gray whale's cylindrical chimney.
The surging power of the steam engine is released under the linkage of the piston and gears!
The Gray Whale's hull shook slightly, and the behemoth in the port began to move slowly.
The sea breeze blowing on the deck gradually became stronger.
The hair that was originally tied up on the head was blown away again.
Colin ignored it, took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards his own cabin.
boom.
After closing the hatch, he raised his hand slightly.
Katsa.
The silver ball with golden lines suddenly shattered into dozens of irregular small pieces like an eggshell, which were evenly distributed throughout the body according to certain rules.
With his feet slightly open, he began to practice the Qi Yin Guang breathing method to strengthen the foundation of his body.
With the help of the silver ball and the heart of the ancient tree given by Zeheti, Colin's aura continued to increase at a speed that was noticeable to the naked eye.
Imagine
…
It was early morning on October 13th, 3585 AD.
The zero-level high-level witchcraft, Invisible Shadow, successfully broke through the limit and became a first-level low-level witchcraft. It changes the speed of light refraction and is able to hide relatively slow-moving objects.
The progress of Yin Guang's breathing method has reached 48/100, the wizard level has reached 3/100 for the first-level intermediate wizard, and the life-strengthening talent has also been improved to 86/100... The progress is remarkable.
But... the news of the war on the front line has not yet come.
In other words, the news has not yet reached this ship sailing on the vast sea - the Gray Whale.
…
October 14th, evening.
The sun sets in the west.
The dark sky seemed to be burning with flames, and the hot remnants fell into the sea, forming red rippling floating islands.
In the third-floor dining room of the Gray Whale, which only official wizards are allowed to enter, the musicians reluctantly gave up playing. A piece of news came like a tsunami, overturning the peaceful atmosphere here.
The noise caused by the wizards has completely drowned out their performance...The noise is so loud that it even lifts the steel ceiling of the restaurant!
"The war on the Seven Southern Islands was thwarted and failed, and the elves were proven to have already fallen and rebelled against the gods... How could this happen?"
An old wizard wearing a tall hat murmured tremblingly while holding a silver table knife.
"Don't be discouraged! In my opinion, this is a good thing, just like removing the rotten flesh and blood from the wound in advance.
At least Senator Noynes learned the news in advance during the war, eliminated enough enemies, and retained enough vitality!"
A tall young wizard wearing a white short shirt next to him raised his voice and said. He clenched his fists, and the muscles on his thick arms bulged like mountain peaks.
"Enough strength?" A skinny wizard in black robes in the distance snorted and looked out the window with a gloomy expression. "Of the seven islands in the south, wizards from at most three islands have survived!"
"you?!"
The news of such news made the wizards present feel restless, and the young wizard's temper was already hot.
So under the ridicule of the black-robed wizard, he suddenly stood up and stared angrily at him by the window, with the intention of taking action immediately if he had any disagreement.
The sharp sound caused by the friction between the wooden tables and chairs and the ground suddenly silenced the noisy restaurant, and the gazes of the wizards came over.
"This is already the best situation."
The middle-aged wizard who happened to be sitting between the two of them was shocked and quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Everyone must know how strong the war tree people of the elves are. If they rebel, they would be enough to drink a pot.
However, the scene was not just that, the giant dragons that disappeared with the elves also reappeared!"
"Under such circumstances, it is really not easy to retain only half of the wizards.
After all, the Lord of Noins City unexpectedly learned the news that the elves were traitors a long time after the war started..."
The middle-aged wizard had obviously carefully read the information sent today many times, and had some knowledge of the battlefield, so his analysis was well-founded.
The wizards nodded slightly as they listened.
The young wizard snorted coldly, calmed down a little, sat down along the steps given by the middle-aged wizard, picked up the wine glass at hand and took a sip.
The skinny wizard in black robe also withdrew his gaze at the right time and looked out the window quietly.
The conflict was over, but the wizards in the restaurant had lost interest in talking.
The clinking sounds of knives and forks against white porcelain plates sounded from time to time, making the atmosphere even more depressing.
The failure to seize the seven islands in the south is not the point. The point is the loss of strength on the wizard's side...
when.
At this time, the musician in front of the restaurant pressed the black and white keys, and the pleasant sound of the piano suddenly sounded. The musician with the violin on his shoulder next to him also put the bow on the strings in time.
The orchestra started playing again.
The light and bright music dispelled the somewhat dull atmosphere.
"I don't know who the wizard was who brought the news of the elves' betrayal and passed it on to Senator Noynes?"
A wizard suddenly asked curiously.
Breaking the silent atmosphere in the restaurant, the topic was revived.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Previously, the wizards' sex talk was only temporarily suppressed by the dull atmosphere and was not fully enjoyable.
Now that he has his beginning, he is provoked again.
The restaurant suddenly burst into voices.
"Who knows, but I bet that the elves and even the gods must hate him to the core at this moment!" A wizard said firmly as he placed the wine glass on the wooden table.
"He can be called a hero." A wizard commented calmly.
"Indeed, the role is very crucial. Otherwise, the casualties in this war on the seven southern islands will be even more serious." The companion next to him nodded in agreement.
"It's a pity... It would have been nice if this news could have been conveyed to Senator Noynes earlier."
"...I'm afraid I encountered some difficulties."
"maybe……"
In the corner of the restaurant by the window, Colin sat alone at a separate square wooden table, silently enjoying the juicy steak in front of him.
He didn't participate in the conversation and didn't show any expression.
He turned to look out the window, and there was only a trace of the setting sun left.
The waves that resembled red lava have also cooled down, and the ash left behind has smeared the entire vast sea like ink, making it deep and mysterious.
'There's still half a month left...'
According to the speed of the Gray Whale, after tonight, there will still be half a month before we can reach the port of Siya continent.
…
October 16, afternoon.
The three Pala Islands were declared occupied.
The dragons, elves, and the original believers of the gods destroyed the weak defenses of the three Pala Islands with overwhelming force, and once again pushed the front line forward.
Fortunately, no members of the Supreme Council were killed in this battle, and the high-end power remained intact.
At the same time, the vitality accumulated by Colin's knight training finally increased again, reaching 1.9 times the level of an ordinary great knight.
The progress of the strong life talent has reached 92/100, the progress of Yin Guang breathing method has reached 56/100, and the wizard level has also reached the first-level intermediate wizard 12/100... The progress is like riding on a rocket.
…
October 21st, early morning.
The white mist on the sea has not yet dissipated, but the entrance to the restaurant on the third floor of the Gray Whale and the recently added blackboard are already crowded with wizards.
"Mabapoin Island was declared occupied, and Senators Ernest Benson and Sarah Longfellow were killed.
The wizard side took the initiative to abandon a large number of islands in front, shrink the front line, and retreat to the Soach Islands."
A wizard looked at the words on the notice board and murmured.
'The location of the Soach Islands is still behind Gupil Island, and is close to Quinte Island...is it so far back?'
Colin withdrew his gaze and returned to the room.
The life-strengthening talent has reached 99/100, but it seems to have stagnated and has not increased all day.
Yin Guang's breathing method reached 67/100, and his health was close to twice the level of an ordinary great knight.
As for the wizard level, it has also reached the first-level intermediate wizard 28/100... With accumulated experience, the speed is still astonishing.
…
October 25th, early morning.
Half of the good news came.
Although the wizards had surrendered many islands before, they had also set up countless ambushes among them.
Among them, the ambush set up on the Gocajia Islands was a great success, severely defeating the gods.
At the same time, Colin successfully broke the limit with the Crimson Mark Technique.
The Crimson Marking Technique after breaking the limit has a stronger detection effect, and you can control the red light of the mark, choose other colors, or hide it.
However, the life-strengthening talent is still stuck at 99/100, which is definitely stagnant.
Yin Guang's breathing method reached 78/100, and his health was close to twice the level of an ordinary great knight.
As for the wizard level, it has also reached the first-level intermediate wizard 39/100...slightly slower, but still considered fast.
…
October 28th, late at night.
Bentham, the second-level wizard and captain who lives on the top floor of the Gray Whale, received exciting news.
Regardless of the fact that it was late at night, he waved gently.
Jingle Bell--!
The bell that represented the updated content on the notice board outside the restaurant immediately rang at the door of every first-order wizard's room who took the initiative to leave a mark and choose this service.
Colin suddenly opened his eyes and exited from meditation.
Not long after, he came to the notice board of the restaurant amid the crowd of wizards.
"In the year 3585 of the Anan calendar, on the evening of October 27th, the gods attacked the Soach Islands at night."
"The wizard on the island fought bloody battles, and finally he was defeated!"
As usual, there is always a wizard who takes the initiative to read the words on the notice board aloud.
However, the tone this time was completely different from the previous ones, heavy and less composed, and more joyful.
"A rare good news!" the wizard on the side said excitedly.
"If you can defend it once, you can defend it the second time!" Another wizard added.
Soon, the wizards in front of the notice board began a lively conversation.
In a sense, this is one of the reasons why wizards choose to come here every time to read news about the war.
'The situation on the front line has finally turned around.'
Colin let out a breath of turbid air, looked at the dark night sky, and felt calm.
As if thinking of something, he suddenly turned his head and looked north again.
Looking across the vast sea, it seems that a continuous black line can be faintly seen.
‘Siya continent!’
Almost instantly, Colin realized the true identity of the bulging black line.
A complex experience of mixed feelings suddenly came to my mind.
He stared at the black line in silence for a while, then silently turned around and returned to the room.
