The Weird Wizarding World Chapter 382: Opportunity
The wheat fields were still green in June, but turned golden and brilliant in July.
Time passes silently.
Life in the Kingdom of Loen is peaceful, like a quiet story without any waves. The only thing that reminds Colin of the passage of time is the thick black words on the bright gold paper.
There is another time when the limit of witchcraft has been broken, and there are still two -
Silence and formless shadows.
After consuming thousands of magic stones, these two witchcrafts successfully broke through from the lower level of the first level to the upper level of the first level.
The improvement cannot be considered small, but compared to Colin's current strength, it is a bit behind.
Silence was originally derived from the fusion of Silence and Silence to break the limit. The effect is to eliminate sounds, including oneself and the surrounding ones.
Invisible Shadow is the only witchcraft that Colin has mastered to hide his figure. The effect of this witchcraft is to achieve the effect of invisibility by distorting light.
He had a successful experience in creating a combination of witchcraft. Naturally, when Colin saw these two witchcrafts, he also aroused the idea of combining the two.
After all, if one cast of witchcraft can achieve two effects, it will be more advantageous both in terms of time efficiency and mana consumption.
Not to mention that the two clearly complement each other in their effects, eliminating sound and hiding body shape.
However, how to combine these two witchcrafts requires further research.
'Perhaps, when I go to Neustadt during my next vacation, I can go to the school of thought and the True Knowledge Society to look for relevant knowledge.'
Colin thought silently and scattered the gold paper.
With a thought, a small window appeared silently on the left side of the silver chamber. Outside the window were green trees and several familiar wizard towers.
'It's time to get off work again in two hours.'
The sun was setting outside, and Colin took a deep breath, feeling calm and peaceful.
Every morning, I go to work at the South Tower at nine o'clock, and get off work at six o'clock in the evening. I go to Neustadt once during the holidays, return three days later, and then return to Golden Wheat Sheep to start the next cycle.
Life is step-by-step, regular and repetitive, but it does not make him feel boring.
Looking at the black characters on the gold paper that changed every day, what Colin could feel was deep peace and solidity.
There is no happier life than improving and making progress every day.
The Kingdom of Loen is such a wonderful place... Especially when he heard that the city of Neuinstadt has been constantly turbulent and full of disputes recently, Colin felt this way.
At six o'clock in the evening, there was only the last trace of the sun left in the sky, and the light it cast gathered on the continuous clouds to form floating gold.
When Colin finished his shift and returned to his home, he saw a somewhat familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar girl on the lush lawn in front of his door.
"Long time no see." Xue Lai turned around and said.
The doll-like girl was bathing in the afterglow of the setting sun, her original snowy hair was dyed into a crimson color, and her fair and cold cheeks now glowed with a moving luster under the sunlight.
Although his tone was as cold as ever, it seemed to have a little more humanity when compared to this appearance.
As for why she is unfamiliar, it is because apart from the same snowy hair, the girl's appearance and body shape are somewhat different from before.
Although the changes are not big, but taken together, it becomes a different look.
"Are you... Xue Lai?" Colin was startled and stopped for a moment.
The girl nodded slightly.
As she moved, the strangeness lingering on her face and figure suddenly dissipated like the remaining mist in the morning.
At this moment, Colin felt that Xue Lai's appearance had become familiar again, and it seemed to be no different from what he remembered before.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely sophisticated disguise.
But Colin was only slightly amazed. What was even more surprising to him was that he could see Xue Lai again here, in the Kingdom of Loen, which is thousands of kilometers away from Neustadt.
"Let's go in first."
However, no matter what, it is always a happy thing to see acquaintances again in a foreign land.
Colin smiled and took Xue Lai all the way to the living room to sit down.
"Your Excellency Xue Lai is here this time. Do you have any knowledge that you need to discuss with me?"
Apart from knowledge, Colin could not think of any other reason for her coming to the girl in front of him who was carved out of ice crystals.
However, this time, Xue Lai shook his head.
"I just came over to see you."
Colin paused as he picked up the black tea, and was stunned for a moment.
But Xue Lai in front of him seemed not to notice the inappropriateness of his words and continued:
"For some reasons, I also left Neuinstadt and currently live in the Kingdom of Loen... Well, it's the villa on your left."
Colin nodded slowly, that's it.
"Then it seems that we can continue to exchange knowledge in the future." He put the tea cup on the table and said with a smile.
Although I don’t know why Xue Lai came to the Kingdom of Loen, it is undoubtedly a good thing for him.
After all, exchanging knowledge with Xue Lai, a witchcraft genius, really helped him a lot.
"Indeed." Xue Lai nodded and said, "You have to be on duty during the day, and I will come to you at this time every evening from now on. How about that?"
"Of course it's no problem." Colin smiled and nodded gently. He thought about it for a moment, but in the end he didn't ask why Xue Lai came to the Loen Kingdom and was still wearing a disguise.
Sometimes, the more you know, the more trouble you have, and it may also make things difficult for the person in front of you.

After taking a sip of the black tea, Colin suddenly realized that, except when they were in the far north, this seemed to be the first time the two of them sat face to face without exchanging knowledge.
For a moment I didn't know what to say.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
Renee knocked gently on the door.
"Master, Mr. Wilbur is here to visit."
Colin felt inexplicably relieved and smiled apologetically at Xue Lai in front of him.
"Sorry, I might need to go out."
"It doesn't matter, just let him come in directly." Xue Lai said.
Colin was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't say much. He just said to Renee outside the door:
"Let Wilbur come over."
"Okay, Master."
After a while, the door was pushed open by Renee who returned, and Wilbur's hearty voice came:
"Sir Colin, it's not easy to find you. There will be another party tomorrow night, and this time Wizard Irvine will also go there. Don't refuse again."
"...Who is this?" Wilbur paused when he saw Xue Lai, and asked in surprise.
"The person in charge of the Chasay Chamber of Commerce, Drotelin."
Before Colin could speak, Xue Lai said an unfamiliar name first.
However, what surprised Colin even more was that Wilbur was stunned for a moment, but he said with a smile and a little respect:
"It turns out to be Lady Drotelin from the Chasay Chamber of Commerce. I didn't expect to see you here.
The arrival of you and the Chasai Chamber of Commerce was a hot topic at the party the night before last night. Everyone is looking forward to the Chasai Chamber of Commerce bringing something new to the Immutable Golden Wheat Sheaf."
"Haha, really? Thank you wizards for your love."
The words were meant with enthusiasm, but from Colin's perspective, Xue Lai's face was still expressionless, and the tone in his ears was still as cold as ever.
Colin glanced at Wilbur subconsciously.
But the latter seemed unaware of it, the smile on his face did not change at all, and he even became a little more enthusiastic and gave a few more compliments.
Just as Colin was sighing at Wilbur's tact, Xue Lai glanced at him slightly.
Then, in an instant, the snow in Colin's eyes suddenly changed.
Xue Lai's appearance once again became unfamiliar yet slightly familiar. An impeccable and polite smile appeared on that frosty and cold face, and even his voice became gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Colin suddenly realized that this was probably what Wilbur saw.
The girl who looked like an ice doll in front of her put on a false mask for herself.
However, this scene only lasted for a moment. In Colin's eyes, the mask was taken off again.
Xue Lai returned to his true and indifferent appearance, and the voice in his ears became indifferent again.
But for some reason, he felt that this look was more friendly.
Xue Lai chatted with Wilbur about the reason why she came here.
"Your Excellency Colin is Jin Yu of the Xisheng School, so he came to visit today." Xue Lai simply replied.
"That's it." Wilbur nodded, and it was for the same reason as he imagined.
'As expected of Jin Yu, even if he is reduced to this, he is still much better than wizards like us.'
Drotelin of the Chasai Chamber of Commerce is a genuine second-level wizard, and she is so beautiful...
A little jealousy briefly arose in his heart, but it dissipated like the wind.
Wilbur has long since lost the courage and determination to fight forward. He just wants to enjoy the next few years and enjoy the long lifespan he has left as a first-level wizard.
"Sir Colin, are you coming to the party tomorrow night?" Wilbur smiled again and continued to ask Colin.
Colin nodded lightly.
Wizard Erwin has to participate. As a wizard stationed here, he naturally has no reason to refuse.
"That's great. It's rare for you to be willing to come here once." Wilbur smiled, then glanced at the two of them and said, "My purpose of coming here has been achieved, so I won't disturb you two more."
Wilbur got up and left.
The door was gently closed, and Renee walked out, leaving Colin alone in the room again.
The pale sunlight penetrated through the stained glass window, climbed onto the brown floor, the fabric sofa, and climbed onto Colin and the two of them.
Colin did not ask the Chasai Chamber of Commerce, and Xue Lai did not explain.
The two of them skipped this topic in tacit agreement.
"It's getting late, do you want to finish your meal here? Well...there's fish soup."
"good."
Colin nodded slightly and asked again: "It will take some time to cook. Why don't you go out for a walk?"
"good."
Xue Lai's response was very sharp.
The two got up and walked outside together. It was getting late and dark night was falling, but it could not stop the two wizards from walking.
…
Although Wizard Irvine also came to the party the next day, there was nothing too special about it.
The only thing worth mentioning is that perhaps Wizard Irvine also mentioned the arrival of the Chasay Chamber of Commerce at the party.
In the days that followed, Colin's life got back on track.
I get up at five o'clock in the morning every day, first read the parliamentary announcements and various newspapers obtained through the Chasai Chamber of Commerce, and then deal with chores.
After nine o'clock, go to the South Tower for duty.
Most of the time, life on duty was uneventful, and only occasionally would the ring tower send a request for help.
Then at six o'clock in the evening, Colin got off work on time and returned home.
Then without doing anything, I went to the study room on the second floor.
Except for rare exceptions, when Colin opened the study door, he could see Xue Lai sitting on the soft gray-brown fabric sofa.
On the coffee table where the two sofas sit opposite each other, Renee has prepared hot tea and exquisite and delicious snacks for them.
Then Colin sat down and the two began to exchange knowledge.
Every day you practice cultivation, you will encounter new problems. Every day you study knowledge and clarify a question, new questions will arise.
The exchange between the two seemed to have no end.
But at about half past seven, and sometimes around eight o'clock, they would tacitly stop the communication for the day.
Walk out of the study, take a walk in the afterglow of the evening, or the dim moonlight, in silence, or talk about something else.
After a walk, Xue Lai would occasionally stay for dinner, but more often than not he would leave in a hurry.
Time is like water, passing by quietly.
Unknowingly, a year has passed with this kind of repetition.
July 11, 3587 Ayr.
In the silver chamber.
Colin's appearance was the same as before, and a year had not left any trace on his body.
However, the thin gold paper that appeared in front of him used ink characters to describe the changes brought about by the years!
First of all, in terms of wizard level, Colin successfully passed the first level and reached the second intermediate level.
As for the knights, they have also reached the first level of advanced level.
Next is witchcraft. In the past year, due to the failure to obtain the fire talent, the Web of Elements has not changed, but the progress has slightly increased by 30 points.
But he has successfully iterated all the witchcraft, and has basically broken the limit into at least second-level low-level witchcraft.
He also successfully combined silence and invisible shadow to create a new second-level intermediate witchcraft - silent silence.
In addition, it is also worth mentioning that the two low-level second-level disguise witchcraft-Spirit Mist and Hayden's Pseudo-Energy, perhaps due to frequent use, have successfully broken through the limit and become second-level.
Upper position.
According to Colin's estimation, an ordinary third-level wizard would not be able to detect his disguise as long as he did not use targeted detection witchcraft.
In terms of key defense, the steel temperature-resistant force field also broke through once and became the second-level mid-level, but at the same time it also turned golden and could not continue to improve for the time being.
As for wizards, it can only be said that the improvement is step by step and expected.
What really gave Colin a sense of achievement on the gold paper was the knight aspect.
During this year, not only did all sixty-nine books on the Knight's Breathing Technique be accepted, but all of them broke the limit once. Some key ones, such as the White Light Breathing Technique, even broke the limit twice.
These character changes are reflected in Colin, which is a real increase in strength.
Although the knight level has only advanced a small step, due to the change in breathing method, his overall strength as a knight is at least seven or eight times greater than before!
But at present, the research on Knight's Breathing Method has once again hit a bottleneck.
After sighing, Colin shook his head again.
That's not what he wants. In terms of knights, what he wants is the way forward!
However, the current stacking of breathing techniques is always only a quantitative improvement and cannot reach the scope of qualitative change.
He lacks a chance to break through.
Colin exhaled softly, picked up the breathing method called Jushan from his hand again and started reading.
As the reading progressed, the strange feeling brought about by this breathing method became clear again in Colin's mind.
An idea that had been lingering on for a long time appeared in his mind again——
‘Perhaps, we should find some time to look for that knight again.
I remember that the place I went to ask for help was...Into City, and the knight's name seemed to be...O'Niens?'
