The Weird Wizarding World Chapter 369 Within Five Days
"I already know the situation in the city."
In the empty hall, Noins was sitting on the black luxurious Lord's chair, casually waving his hand to Fabole in front of him.
Fabol stood respectfully, raised his head slightly to glance at him, hesitated, then lowered his head and continued to emphasize:
"Lord Noynes, the number of wizards going out of control recently due to the study of witchcraft has increased several times compared to the past, and the losses caused cannot be underestimated..."
"I will convey your suggestions to them." Noins said calmly, interrupting Fabol's words.
'Of course, it's just to convey...' Noyins raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Fabol who was seriously admonishing him in front of him, but he felt unmotivated.
If it were in the past, he would probably go to the city to conduct actual research in person.
If he is sure that what Fabol said is true and useful, he may even take the initiative to help in the future.
But now... Noins just looked at Fabol and continued to say:
"If there's nothing else, please step back first."
Just a few out-of-control wizards.
"Okay, Lord Noynes."
Fabole looked up at Noynes again, nodded in response after a moment of silence, and then turned and left.
Behind him, Noins quietly looked at his departing figure, his eyes unwavering.
………………
Early morning on the twelfth day of the fifth month in the Anam calendar.
Five days have passed since I bought the Cold Thorn Flower.
Colin came to the study room and read today's Supreme Council announcement and the city's newspapers.
"Regulations on the Administration of Wizarding Research...a new decree issued by the Supreme Council?" Colin raised his eyebrows as soon as he picked up the notice.
You must know that since the war on the frontline battlefields has come to a standstill, the Supreme Council's announcements have mainly been about minor matters, and sometimes they are not even issued.
There is no such a big announcement like today... Although I haven't read the content carefully, no matter what the law is, as long as it is a law, it is undoubtedly important to the entire society.
Colin glanced at the other newspapers on the table, and sure enough, half of the headlines above were related to the new decree issued by the Supreme Council.
Judging from the title, this time the Supreme Council seems to want to bring all wizard research under control.
‘This is not an easy thing.’ Colin thought first.
You must know that the wizarding world is much more sensitive about personal privacy than in previous lives. Many places, such as auction houses and the Teleportation Administration, have not yet implemented the real-name system.
Now we want to incorporate more sophisticated wizard research into management, and the difficulty is evident.
However, there are no human rights in the wizarding world. The social structure maintained through violence like this is, in a sense, extremely stable.
If the Supreme Council wants to implement something, as long as it is determined, there is nothing it can't do.
Colin shook his head, picked up the notice, and began to read it carefully.
"From now on, wizards in Neustadt City should take the initiative to report when conducting knowledge research..."
After a while, after reading the Supreme Council's announcement and reading several related newspapers, he had some understanding in his mind.
Although the Supreme Council promulgated research management regulations this time, in fact the entire regulations are not strict and only require the reporting of basic information.
At the same time, for the reported knowledge research, if the wizard is willing, after passing some reviews and signing a use contract, he can apply for some magic stones or knowledge subsidies.
In addition, this management regulation mainly targets wizards below the third level, and there are no requirements for wizards above the third level.
Moreover, for school wizards, it is not necessary to report to the Supreme Council, but to report to the school and be included in the school's management.
...Perhaps the school will uniformly report to the Supreme Council? Colin speculated, but there was no explanation in the announcement.
As for wandering wizards, they need to report to the law enforcement team.
If a wandering wizard refuses to comply and is discovered again, he will be fined at the least, expelled from the city of Neunstadt at the worst, and may even face imprisonment.
As for the punishment of school wizards, it is set by each school.
There is one last thing, and the most important one - the determination of the research location.
From now on, if wizards want to carry out knowledge research, they must do so in a special research location.
Research conducted elsewhere is illegal.
Although it is a special location, this location can also be your original home or other experimental location. However, you need to apply to the school or law enforcement team in advance.
If it is the basic information required for reporting research previously - it is basically just energy levels, first and second order, and self-assessed risk, they are just some insignificant regulations.
Then this determination of the research location is the core that can truly ensure that the parliament will incorporate witchcraft research into certain management without causing too many wizards to resent it.
Putting down the newspaper, Colin frowned deeply.
The promulgation of this new law brought some inconvenience to his research.
...I don’t know what information the Supreme Council received to make such a decision.
Colin sighed slightly.
Mainly different from other wizards, many times, even if he is not conducting witchcraft research, he still needs to go to the True Knowledge Society laboratory to practice witchcraft.
Ordinary wizards do not need such a large amount of witchcraft practice. If someone knows about it, it will be easy to find abnormalities, not to mention that he has advanced to the second level.
At least he is still at the second level in the school. Although Noins had seen through his disguise before, he seemed to have no interest in telling others.
Colin just pretended that nothing happened. Anyway, announcing the identity of the second level would undoubtedly do more harm than good to him.
The reason why the stumbling blocks currently arranged by pure-blood families can be easily solved by him time and time again is because of this information gap.
As the saying goes, stability is the way to go!
Thinking of this, Colin inexplicably missed the remote mountain forest where he had stayed a few days ago.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is sparsely populated, but this is mainly because of the danger of dense forests. It is not far from the city, and there are not many dirty words.
Although the magic energy is not as abundant as Neuinstadt City, it can still support the second level of cultivation. Under the influence of his powerful talent, the gap between them is at most 10% or 20%, which can be made up with magic stones.
And now that the law has been promulgated, there is an additional benefit - there is no need to report and study it.
'Perhaps... we should indeed find a place outside the city to retreat as we did before.'
Colin thought silently, got up and prepared to go to the True Knowledge Society.
There is a saying that life is like a besieged city. Some people want to get in and some want to get out... Well, it seems that the original sentence is not what life is about.
But there are always situations in a person's life that make people think like this, at least that's the case for Colin now.
The war has reached a stalemate for the time being, and the mainland has ushered in a brief period of peace. However, the wizard city in front of us seems to be gradually becoming turbulent again.
As for reporting to the school now... there's no rush, Colin plans to weigh it up again.
And now he is also confused about how the law enforcement team will supervise those wizards who are unwilling to report.
After all, if you close the door and hide in the basement to study knowledge, who can know?
Stopped a brown stagecoach.
Half an hour later.
"Hey——!" followed the coachman's order.
The black horse pulling the cart in front gradually stopped, snorted, and Colin slowly got out of the car.
However, when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was startled.
The originally bleak, almost deserted Shinchikai Castle was now surrounded by wizards on the stone pavement at the entrance and the broken fountain.
Of course, it is easy to know from the signs of the law enforcement team on them that they are not wizards from the True Knowledge Society.
Calculating carefully, it has been almost half a year since he joined the True Knowledge Society, but Colin has never seen so many wizards here.
It can even be said that he only got to know one member, Xue Lai, during the six months he spent in the Zhenzhihui. The other members only met him by chance when they came out of the laboratory.
But they all kept their distance tacitly and didn't talk too much.
Having said this, Colin looked up at the castle not far away.
"It's almost June now, but Xue Lai still hasn't returned to Neustadt. I don't know why."
He felt a little unhappy for no reason, but he quickly dismissed it, put on the school badge and the golden feather nameplate, and continued walking forward.
Although when he left, Xue said that he would return to Neustadt City after the cold night was over, but this was not a serious promise after all...
"Your Excellency, are you a member of the True Knowledge Society?" A wizard from the law enforcement team asked when he saw him approaching.
"Yes." Colin nodded calmly and asked curiously: "The law enforcement team came here...did something happen?"
Seeing the badge of the Xisheng School on Colin's chest and the golden feather nameplate on his waist, the toughness on the face of the member of the law enforcement team softened slightly and he continued:
"Have you read today's announcement from the Supreme Council?"
"I know the regulations governing wizard research."
"This is why we are here." The wizard of the law enforcement team nodded and continued seriously:
"According to the management regulations, the True Knowledge Society, as an organization that specializes in the study of knowledge, is one of the entities that needs to be focused on."
Colin looked slightly stunned. If he remembered correctly, he had not seen this content mentioned in today's announcement.
Facing Colin's confused look, although the wizard of the law enforcement team remained calm, Colin had keenly noticed something abnormal in his eyes.
The thoughts in his heart were spinning rapidly, and Colin understood clearly.
It seems... this so-called focus of attention may have an ulterior motive.
It was said that it was based on management regulations, but now it looks more like someone is using this law to attack the True Knowledge Society.
The wizard of the law enforcement team coughed deliberately and continued to say to him:
"Are you here to study witchcraft? If so, you may need to report to our law enforcement team... Well, due to the special nature of this place, the report may be more stringent and you may need to ask some additional questions.
.”
"But don't worry, the additional questions are very simple and nothing too sensitive." The wizard of the law enforcement team added.
Speaking of this, the wizard of the law enforcement team looked at the golden feather nameplate on Colin, thought for a while and then hinted: "Of course, if your research location is not in the True Knowledge Castle here, then according to the regulations, you can also report it to your subordinates.
The school will make a report."
Colin nodded slowly, he understood what the law enforcement team wizard meant.
If you report to the school of thought, then there is room for negotiation on many things, and it will not be as strict as reporting to the True Knowledge Society.
The law enforcement wizard is hinting that if he is not willing to reveal too much information, he will conduct research elsewhere.
But Colin pondered for a moment and then said: "My research is indeed conducted here."
Compared with the few extra insignificant questions that the True Knowledge Society might ask, he was more worried that reporting to the school would be used by those pure-blood families to attack him.
The wizard of the law enforcement team was stunned for a moment, then without saying anything else, he took out a special witchcraft tool and asked businesslikely:
"Then please provide valid identity documents and start registration now."
"Okay." Colin handed over the school badge.
"First, study the energy level?" After taking the badge, the wizard of the law enforcement team put it into the groove of the witchcraft tool in his hand and started asking.
"Second level down." Colin said calmly.
If we only talk about the strength of the summoned elements, it is indeed true.
The wizard of the law enforcement team raised his head and glanced at Colin, who in his eyes was only a first-level wizard, feeling a little surprised.
But looking at the golden feather nameplate on Colin's waist, this ray of surprise only lasted for a moment and then dissipated.
"The degree of danger? From very dangerous, severely dangerous, ordinary, mild, to no danger." He continued to ask.
"Mild danger."
"The research location is the Shinchikai Castle, right?"
"Yes."
The wizard of the law enforcement team nodded, looked at him and continued:
"Next are the additional questions that need to be asked when conducting research at the True Knowledge Society Castle."
"Please describe the general direction of the research."
"Elemental aspect."
The wizard of the law enforcement team paused for a moment, but didn't say anything.
The decree has just been issued, and the questions being asked now are additional and beyond the provisions of the decree, so naturally there are no detailed requirements for answers.
In fact, they came here not because of any legal regulations.
The wizard of the law enforcement team continued to ask questions, which were mainly irrelevant questions and did not care about their authenticity, but they were indeed a bit annoying.
After about five minutes, the questioning finally came to an end, and the wizard of the law enforcement team finally asked:
"How long do you estimate it will take to complete the research?"
Colin thought for a while and said calmly, "Within five days."
Yes, although it has only been five days since I bought the Cold Thorn Flower, there has been a breakthrough in the research on combined witchcraft!
The improvement of frost talent was as he thought, and it indeed brought a key opportunity, allowing him to successfully break through the difficulties that had been troubled before in his research on combined witchcraft.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, at least phased results can be achieved within five days!
