A public carriage sped by and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous courtyard.
"I wonder how Sister Renee is doing...and Nado in the courtyard, how is she looking?"
After all, such a long time passed and he disappeared on the battlefield again. Anything could happen.
Colin stepped down from the carriage and paused for a moment while looking at the building in front of him.
This is his long-absent residence...
He originally wanted to go directly to find Mentor Atbold first.
But when we were going from the teleportation formation in Neuinstadt to the headquarters of the Xisheng School, we happened to pass by here, so we planned to stop for a while and take a look.
However, as soon as he stepped off the carriage, he realized something was wrong.
My residence on Lieu Saint Street is the most common courtyard style in Neustadt, with a European-style three-story building with a triangular roof, and a front and back yard surrounded by high walls.
As for the door, it is an iron black fence door.
However, the black fence door in the field of vision at this moment is open, which may not mean anything.
But over the fence, Colin could clearly see a strange young wizard apprentice standing in front of the fence made of Nado, shouting inside:
"The Athos Society has ended a long time ago. Your master Colin has died on Gupil Island. It has been two days since this residence was taken back. Don't be stubborn anymore!
Otherwise, I will report it to Lord Oliver and wait for him to take action himself. Not to mention these broken plants, even if your master is still there, they will be of no use!"
The courtyard was quiet, without the slightest response. The plants under Nado's control grew with lush branches and leaves, blocking any prying eyes.
'I don't know how to praise! Just two mortals!'
There was a faint anger in the young wizard apprentice's heart, and he continued to threaten:
"When that time comes, your fate will not be as simple as just moving out of here..."
Colin remained silent and quietly walked in, his face slightly cold.
At this moment, Renee's response finally came from the yard.
"My lord, regardless of whether Master Colin just disappeared, even if the master died unfortunately... But for this residence, the master clearly paid one year's rent in advance before leaving. Now, not even two months have passed. At this time, he has taken it back.
, is it unreasonable?
And if it must be recovered, can the remaining rent be refunded? Why have I always refused to stall on the matter I mentioned before..."
After being covered by the greenery stretched out by Nado, Renee, who was dressed in a maid outfit, looked slightly pale and her eyes were slightly red.
She subconsciously clenched her fists gently, and the joints were clearly visible.
Under Colin's transformation, she already has the cultivation level of a peak knight, which is a power that was unimaginable before...
However, to the wizard, he is still just an ordinary and humble mortal like an insect.
'The rent... I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back.'
Renee took a breath and weighed whether she should agree to the young wizard apprentice.
Then he sold some unnecessary things in the courtyard, took Nado, his sister Demi, and the savings left by Colin to find another place to live.
Well, it would be best to find one closer to here so that you can always check whether the owner is back...
"When will the master come back?"
At this time, Demi on the side looked silently at the green vegetation in front of her, then raised her head to look at her and suddenly asked in a low voice.
Demi's tone was a little low.
Although she was not very old, she already knew in her heart that she and her sister would be blocked by this bad guy at home, not because she had done anything wrong, but simply because Master Colin was not here.
And they... are too weak.
Renee's nose was sore and her eyes were a little redder.
Of course she understood the meaning of missing on the frontline battlefield... she just didn't want to believe it.
The young wizard apprentice was stagnated by Renee's words. He became more and more impatient, and simply said in a cold voice:
"I dare to give you the magic stone, but do you dare to accept it?
Ha! Just two mortals..."
Renee subconsciously tightened Demi's hand.
"Yeah?"
However, at this moment, Colin had already walked behind the young wizard apprentice. The smile that had originally heard Renee's familiar voice suddenly faded, and he said coldly.
"Owner?!"
To the two sisters, Renee, his voice was like sunshine that dispersed the wind and rain, immediately washing away all the chill and fear in their hearts.
But to the young wizard apprentice, it was like a ghostly whisper, frightening him!
"Who are you?!"
He turned around suddenly and roared in a low voice.
Colin didn't answer, he just raised his right hand and slapped him.
Snapped!
The clear sound carried huge force, easily defeating the young apprentice's defense, and the remaining force knocked him to the ground and flew aside.
"ah!"
For a moment, the young wizard only felt a buzzing in his head, and his face was burning with pain.
However, there was no anger at all in his heart, only fear.
"Owner!"
The vegetation branches in front of them rustled away. Sister Renee looked at the familiar figure in front of her in surprise. Her eyes suddenly turned red, as if there was water rippling in them.
The young apprentice on the side raised his head tremblingly and stared at the handsome wizard in front of him, feeling unbelievable in his heart.
'Their master Colin Leonard is really still alive?!'
"Go away." Colin said calmly to him with a cold face.
The young apprentice's eyes flickered, he did not dare to say another word, and quickly fled in silence.
Colin didn't pay much attention to it, it was just a small episode...
As long as there is profit, these dirty things will always breed.
But... now that he is back, all these things will collapse on their own, just like ice and snow melting under the blazing sun.
Looking at Sister Renee behind the branch, a smile gradually appeared on his face, he paused and said softly:
"I'm back."
These four words seemed to turn on some kind of switch, and the water in Renee's eyes suddenly turned into crystal tears and flowed down her cheeks.
"The Sword Comes"
She moved her steps slightly, taking small steps to pull Demi to Colin. Her excitement was somewhat difficult to suppress.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! To Colin, that young apprentice is just insignificant dust, but to them without Colin's protection, it is just the opposite... They,
It's the dust.
Colin smiled, patted Renee's shoulder, leaned down and touched Demi's head, who was holding his thigh, and said slowly:
"It's a joy to have me back, isn't it?"
Renee raised her hand to wipe her tears and nodded heavily.
"Master, do you want to eat something? I'm going to make you... twice-cooked pork, okay?"
Colin straightened up, swallowed his saliva and felt a little excited.
There is no such thing as delicious food in the wizarding world. In the past two months on the frontline battlefield, he has experienced it firsthand. He has long missed Renee's craftsmanship.
It's a pity... now is not the time, he shook his head.
"I had something to go to see my mentor first, but I happened to pass by him on the way, so I took a look first."
"Now that you are all right, I will continue to see the instructor first and come back later."
Renee looked a little disappointed, but after all, Colin was back, and she was filled with joy.
"Then I'll prepare food and wait for you to come back!" She nodded vigorously.
"Well...in addition to the twice-cooked pork, let's make another braised chicken that you improved. Well, let's make another fish. You can use it as you like."
Colin smiled and told the name of the dish, then turned and left.
I didn’t enter the yard, and I didn’t need to.
Architecture has no meaning, talent is the meaning.
Since it was confirmed that Renee and the two were fine, there was no need to stay any longer.
…
About ten minutes later.
"Uu——!"
The speeding carriage stopped at the gate of the Xisheng School's residence.
Colin wore the badge of the school, successfully passed the inspection of Zuo Ao and You Ao at the door, and came outside the courtyard where his tutor was.
It is surrounded by countless vines and trees as before, leaving only a path in the bushes.
It was mid-morning, the sky was blue and clear, and the bright sunlight cast down on the lush plants, forming golden spots and large whirling shadows.
The faint chirping of insects and birds made the place even more peaceful and remote... as if it had been abandoned by the world.
Colin stood quietly and felt it. Nado's breath at the door was a little weak, but other than that it was normal.
He walked in, came to Atebold's white villa, came to the study room on the second floor, and knocked gently on the door.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
The dull knocking on the door echoed far away in the quiet corridor.
After a long time, an old voice slowly said:
"Please come in."
Creaking, Colin pushed the door open and entered.
Altbould was "sitting" at his desk, looking at him with some surprise. Behind him was the huge transparent floor-to-ceiling window made of compressed air from a special force field.
The bright sunlight was gathered by it and fell accurately in front of the desk and on... Attbold's strange body.
