It is late night on November 20th in the Aramaic calendar.
Neustadt City.
As usual, even late at night, the city is still lively.
'But if we look deeper, I'm afraid it seems to be a bit more depressed than before.'
Colin slowly walked out of the Teleportation Headquarters, thinking silently.
When he was paying for the teleportation array ride in Meredith City, he already knew that Neustadt City, like Meredith City, was also implementing a curfew system.
Moreover, they are mainly strictly inspected when entering the city, and the rest are relatively loose.
Naturally, if you take the teleportation array into the city like him, you will also need to check, but it is slightly more relaxed, and you only need to register twice.
One time was before taking the teleportation array in Meredith City, and the other time was just after arriving in Neuinstadt City.
The night wind was a bit chilly.
Originally it was only the cool breeze of early autumn in Nanau, but when it came to Neustadt, it was already the biting cold wind of early winter.
Sister Renee had already put on thick clothes in advance, and Naxi was no exception.
Colin stood on the street corner, the cold wind blew in his face, and the broken hair on his forehead fluttered.
He silently thought about where to go first.
Do you go directly to the instructor?
Looking up at the sky, Colin shook his head.
It has always been a rule that instructors do not see guests after noon.
'It seems it's too early to come back.'
Colin chuckled.
When he left Nanau this morning and embarked on the return journey, he felt some unreasonable urgency in his heart.
It was precisely because of this inexplicable urgency that he did not choose to take the more comfortable airship, but chose the witchcraft flight which could only save an hour or two, but was more strenuous.
It was precisely because of this that after seeing the curfew notice in Meredith City, he did not choose to leave immediately...
But now it seems that he has ignored the rule that he cannot enter Mentor Atbold's manor after noon.
So, go home now?
However, Colin still shook his head and silently stopped a public carriage.
"Where are you going?" the groom asked respectfully.
"Hua Pei District, Anver Street."
…
"Are you sure you are Colin Leonard, the suspected target of the Tin Sage School?"
In an office, Bulwer frowned and asked his partner.
"I'm sure." Keith nodded and added: "It's the news from the Teleportation Administration. They registered the information of Colin Leonard - this wizard came from May about half an hour ago.
Redis City came back by teleportation array."
Bulwer paused and asked again: "Where is he now?"
"I don't know." Keith shook his head, "I just learned the news."
Bulwer pressed his wrinkled forehead hard and said in a comb-like manner:
"Colin Leonard left Neuenstadt more than half a month ago in the name of visiting friends in Meredith City. However, Meredith City reported that he did not stay in the city.
.
After he left the teleportation array, he took the airship to the border town—Sa Di without stopping."
"After that, he disappeared."
Having said this, he paused and added without emotion.
…
"It is worth noting that Saadi is the closest city to the southern sea in the Kingdom of Meredith."
Keith nodded deeply and concluded: "This is a target with great suspicion."
"I think so." Bulwer murmured, stood up suddenly, and led the way out.
…
Anver Street.
A dark brown public carriage stopped in front of a dilapidated three-story building.
"You go first...well, stay at the Blue Swan Hotel."
Colin got off the carriage, thought for a while and said to Renee in the car.
"Okay, Master." Renee nodded, with some worry on her face.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to see Senior Marjorie and I'll come back to you later." Colin smiled and comforted.
This is a three-story building that looks like a hotel, which is where Marjorie lives.
Of course, he lives in only one of them, located in the corner of the second floor.
Since I can't see Teacher Altbold for the time being, it would be a good idea to come and see Senior Marjorie.
He left the city of Neustadt for a while, and now he knows nothing after returning.
Perhaps the inexplicable sense of urgency in my heart is precisely because of this.
He is eager to understand the current situation in Neustadt City.
"drive!"
The driver waved his whip and drove the carriage gradually away.
Colin exhaled softly and walked quickly into the building.
There is no bright crystal lighting, and it is dark inside. This is one of the typical low-cost housing in Neustadt.
Without using the light spell, Colin stepped up the narrow stairs, walked through the dim corridors, and finally came to the corner of the second floor with the help of the dim light and the keen eyesight brought by the first-order knight.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”
He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
The sound of his knuckles touching the wooden door panel spread far down the corridor.
Perhaps someone woke up, and could faintly hear the rustling sound of bedding in other rooms.
However, there was no movement in the room in front of Colin. It was as quiet as a cemetery.
He looked gloomy and raised his hand to knock on the door again.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
The dull sound sounded regularly.
The huge three-story building was still silent. This time, even the sound of the bedding rubbing in other rooms had disappeared.
Only some nervous breathing could be heard vaguely.
Colin frowned and paused. The uneasiness in his heart prompted him to wave his hand gently.
The three-power detection witchcraft penetrated the door and rushed forward like water.
After a while, the results came back——
It is nothing.
There was no breath of life, no magic or evil in the room, it was just empty.
Colin looked around, no longer hesitated, grabbed the door handle, and pushed it gently.
Click.
Under the violence of the first-order knight, this wooden door with basic witchcraft defense was as fragile as a bubble and was easily opened.
There was no pyrotechnics in the whole process.
But if you look carefully, the slightly trembling wall next to it unreservedly explains what the terrifying power of a first-order knight is.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Colin glanced inside quickly.
There's no one inside.
He felt a little relieved... at least it wasn't as bad a result as he imagined.
…
'It's just that it's so late. Where has Senior Marjorie gone?'
He frowned, slowly turned around and walked downstairs.
But at this moment.
Ta-ta-ta--
Two hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind, and soon they came to the side, one on the left and the other on the right, sandwiching Colin in the middle.
"What is your relationship with the resident of that room?" the hooded wizard on the right asked in a low voice.
Perhaps because he felt that he had restrained Colin, his tone became slightly more relaxed.
Colin didn't rush to attack.
This kind of distance is his strength as a first-order knight, and before he opened the door, he had already blessed himself with a steel temperature-resistant force field.
He first turned around and looked at the wizards around him.
Both wizards were wearing black witch robes with hoods on their heads. Their specific appearances could not be clearly seen, but the badges on their bodies already made Colin understand their identities.
"who are you."
But he still asked calmly.
"Stop talking nonsense, don't you recognize the coat of arms of the Hidos family?" the wizard with a hoarse voice on the left shouted in a low voice.
"Looks like I have to give him some trouble." The wizard on the right snorted coldly, motioned to his companion, and wanted to stretch out his hand to subdue Colin.
Whoosh!
The two of them stretched out their arms together, and a pale yellow light lingered on their forearms.
Judging from the appearance, it should be a witchcraft that has paralysis and strength-enhancing effects.
However, the next moment, the two wizards felt as if they had grasped the mountain. Even with the increased strength of witchcraft, they could not shake it at all.
"No!" The two wizards finally realized that they were in trouble, and quickly let go and stepped back.
But it's too late.
Colin didn't make any move, not even turn around.
But the two wizards stood frozen on the spot as if they had been struck by lightning, their faces full of fear, as if they had encountered some unknown and mysterious creature!
The knight's aura can be like thorns that punish and make people fearful, or it can be like thunder and lightning that can make people fear!
On the other side, Colin turned around slowly, looked at them and asked calmly:
