The Weird Wizarding World Chapter 383: Demonic Tide in the Catacombs
In the evening, the sun sets in the west.
Colin's residence.
"I'll leave it to Sir Wilbur in two days." Colin stood up and politely sent Wilbur out.
"No problem, let alone half a month. Even if you go out for half... two or three months, there won't be any problems. I will help you make arrangements for the garrison."
Wilbur patted his chest and said confidently.
Colin nodded slightly, feeling relieved a little, and watched Wilbur leave.
"Going for half a month?" Xue Lai said from the side.
"Probably, maybe longer, maybe shorter." Colin replied.
"Need help?" Xue Lai asked again.
"No need." Colin shook his head, thought for a while and then added, "No need for the time being."
As a second-level intermediate wizard and a first-level senior knight, he went to find O'Niens to investigate the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique this time. He thought that he should be able to capture it easily, and there would be no surprises.
"Yeah." Xue Lai smoothed her hair beside her ears and stood up naturally.
Colin understood, and the two of them walked towards the garden.
The golden light of the setting sun casts a hazy veil over the garden in front of you. The colorful flowers, lush shrubs and fruit trees make you feel like you are walking in a dream.
After walking around the garden, Colin asked: "Still not having dinner today?"
"Yeah." Xue Lai nodded.
It's been almost a week, and Xue Lai didn't even stay for dinner. It seemed to be very busy.
Colin hesitated for a moment and asked: "Has the Chasai Chamber of Commerce encountered any trouble recently?"
Xue Lai turned her head, her delicate face still seemed expressionless, but Colin could already read the subtle differences.
——Xue Lai was surprised.
For more than a year, the two have maintained a tacit understanding and have never talked about the Chasai Chamber of Commerce. In other words, neither of them has tried to touch the other's own affairs.
For Xue, it's the Chasai Chamber of Commerce, the Truth Society... and for Colin, it's the hidden strength, why he went out this time, etc.
"It's me who talks too much."
Xue Lai shook his head, "Everything in the Chamber of Commerce is normal recently. If I need your help, I will tell you."
"Yeah." Colin smiled and skipped the topic.
The next day.
It's just dawn.
Into City, Wood Family.
The cool morning light shone in through the window, and O'Neill was putting on heavy full-body armor for himself.
"O'Niens, go to the council chamber quickly, the elders are looking for you!"
Suddenly, a fellow clan member knocked on his door and said loudly.
O'Niens frowned slightly, put the silver helmet on his head, and at the same time subconsciously moved his right hand to the side - but missed it.
"Hurry up, O'Neills!"
Under the helmet, a complex emotion flashed through O'Neill's eyes. He retracted his arm with some disappointment, and then strode open the door and walked out.
"Nellie, why are the elders looking for me?"
"I'm not sure exactly, but it seems that a wizard is here." Nellie, a young fellow of the same clan, said.
Wizard... O'Niens paused subconsciously, and a suspicion arose in his mind.
"What kind of wizard is it? Lord Alsop from the city?"
He quickly followed Nellie.
"I don't know, but it seems that he is not a wizard in the city, but from outside the city." Nellie said, "The elders looking for you now must be related to that wizard. Did you remember anything?"
"...I don't know." O'Neills had some expectations in his heart, but more of it was shame and resistance. He was a little afraid to face Colin again - especially when he had just lost the spear.
But he took a deep breath, his eyes under his mask became firm again, and he continued to walk forward.
As a true knight, he never lacks responsibility and courage.
The council hall is located in the center of the family. It is a place that is used to discuss family affairs or receive distinguished guests.
As a large family in Into City, the Wood family occupies a large area. It took about five minutes for O'Niens to arrive at the council chamber.
The door to the council chamber was open, and before O'Niens could enter, he saw the familiar wizard's back through the door.
The elders were sitting in front of him, chatting with him respectfully.
O'Neill didn't dare to delay, took a deep breath, knocked on the door and walked in.
"Your Excellency, O'Niens has arrived." An elder with a white beard said with a smile, and then added: "His Giant Mountain Breathing Technique is indeed good, but in terms of strength, he is still the Orko of our family.
I want to be even better."
"The two had a fight some time ago, and Alcott won a big victory."
"Yeah." Colin raised his eyebrows slightly and responded noncommittally.
"O'Niens, why don't you say hello to your lord quickly?" the elder greeted again.
"Good morning, Sir Colin." O'Neill respectfully performed a knight's salute.
"No need to be polite." Colin smiled slightly.
The exceptionally tall knight in front of him made a good impression on him at first.
"Where's your spear?" But soon, as if he noticed something, Colin asked curiously.
O'Niens lowered his head, a mixture of shame and embarrassment on his face.
Just when he was about to speak.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
There was a new knock on the door.
Colin turned around and saw a tall knight who was only a few centimeters shorter than O'Niens walked in.
Different from the ordinary silver full-body armor worn by O'Neill, the new tall knight wears a black full-body armor that is exquisite yet practical. Both the material and workmanship look obviously better than those worn by O'Neill.
of silver armor.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the familiar sharp black spear carried on Alcott's back.
"Alcott is here too, please say hello to the adults in front of you." The white-bearded elder continued, his tone obviously much softer than when he treated O'Neill.
"Okay, Elder Commons." Alcott took off his helmet, revealing his handsome face and a pair of dark green eyes.
"Dear Wizard." Alcott saluted Colin.
Colin nodded slightly, and glanced at Olcott, O'Neill, and the elders in front of him, and then suddenly realized -
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the hair colors of the Wood family in front of you are slightly different, their hair color is the same dark green, while O'Neills is the only one who is abnormally dark.
red.
Colin immediately understood why the elder Commons in front of him had such a previous attitude.
But he didn't care and didn't say anything, even when the spear hit Alcott.
Colin continued to drink tea, waiting for the remaining great knights of the Wood family to arrive, and then he was ready to ask about the giant mountain breathing method.
"Sir, there is one more thing I should tell you." But noticing his gaze, Commons suddenly explained, "The spear you gave me as a gift was lost in a competition a few days ago.
O'Neill lost to Alcott."
[In other words, the best app for reading and listening to books is the source-changing app.
O'Niens, who lowered his head, raised his head slightly and moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.
"Yeah." Colin just took a sip of tea and responded softly from his nose.
Commons breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Colin was not happy with the conversation, he chose silence at the right time.
Not long after, all the great knights of the Wood family arrived.
Colin put down the black tea and began to ask: "I want to know if the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique still has a stage after the Great Knight?"
After he finished speaking, everyone present looked surprised.
Colin scanned the crowd and carefully observed their changes.
Yes, the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique may still have a stage after the Great Knight - this is the strangeness he noticed during this year's research!
Unlike other knight breathing methods that end when they reach the great knight stage, the giant mountain breathing method always gives people a feeling that it is not the end when it reaches the great knight stage.
For example, there is the white light breathing method that also has three characteristics and can be practiced to the stage of a great knight.
Before the Great Knight, this breathing method had always been laying the foundation, and its external manifestation was only the enhancement of eyesight.
When it comes to breaking through to the Great Knight, it will rely on the seed of the Burning Knight to fundamentally change the practitioner's vision and break through to the Great Knight.
But the most special aspect of the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique - the strengthening and improvement of the body, is gradually reflected from the middle level knights onwards.
When it came to breaking through to the Great Knight, there was no qualitative change like the white light breathing method.
For a more specific comparison, knights who practice white light breathing can only obtain 'infrared vision' at the stage of the great knight.
As for the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique, it has gradually shown signs of "copper skin and iron bones" and "gigantization" since the beginning of the intermediate knights.
For practitioners of the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique, the unique features that appear in the intermediate knight stage are not qualitatively different from those in the great knight stage.
However, due to the insufficient number of samples, this difference is not the main reason for Colin's previous conclusion.
He speculated that the main reason why the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique may be in the next stage is actually more because of the performance of the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique in the Great Knight Stage.
At this stage, as the strength of the knights who practice the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique continues to grow, while they gain greater strength and continue to grow in size, their bodies will gradually begin to be overwhelmed.
According to Colin's speculation, when these knights grow to over three meters in size, their strength will reach its peak, and then quickly turn from prosperity to decline, towards decline and destruction.
This may be a design flaw, but Colin prefers to regard it as a foreshadowing, or a prerequisite for achieving some kind of breakthrough.
Some things such as - practicing sophisticated and rigorous design in the early stage, "short-term" skills to deal with the negative impact of hugeness, etc.
These details that he noticed from time to time made Colin more willing to believe in the latter possibility——
There may still be a stage for the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique after the Great Knight, a stage that can prevent the continuous enlargement, make up for this shortcoming, or even use it to turn it into an advantage!
"Sir Colin... the manuscript I gave you was indeed the complete Giant Mountain Breathing Technique. We have never heard that there is a new stage after the Great Knight."
Commons was the first to speak. He looked at Colin with extremely confused eyes: "And, as far as I know, the great knight is the end of the knight's road. There has never been a higher realm, right?"
If these words had not come from the mouth of a distinguished wizard, Commons would have been unable to suppress his ridicule.
Is there a new stage after the Great Knight?
Are you kidding me? From ancient times to the present, there are only four realms on the path of knights: beginner, intermediate, advanced knight, and grand knight!
Colin could see that the faces of the people present didn't look like they were being hypocritical - they really didn't know anything about it.
After pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "Take me to see the origin of Jushan Breathing Technique."
"Also, tell me about this breathing method. I need to know everything about it."
"Okay, sir." Commons nodded quickly without any hesitation.
In the face of such a being who could destroy his family with just a flip of his hand, he would dig out even the treasures treasured in his ancestors' graves and offer them to him with both hands, let alone just take a look at the original copy of the Knight's Breathing Technique.
"Sir, do these great knights still need to be followed?" Commons stood up and suddenly asked again.
"If you have something to do, then you don't need to follow me. If you don't have anything to do, then come with me...the same goes for the elders."
Colin said briefly, raised his chin, and motioned for Commons to lead the way.
After walking for about ten minutes, the group walked from an inconspicuous house into a very hidden secret room.
At this time, there were only three elders left around Colin. In addition to the white-bearded Commons, there was also a middle-aged man and an old man who was as old as Commons.
As for the knights, there are only three left now, O'Niens, Alcott, and a middle-aged man who is obviously smaller than them.
Judging from the title, they should be knights who were the uncles of O'Neill and Alcott.
There are no tables and chairs in the secret room, only a row of bookshelves and some valuables carefully stored in boxes made of different materials.
Colin took the yellowed copy of the Giant Mountain Breathing Method and started reading.
Commons did not lie to him. There was no difference in content between the original copy of Jushan Breathing Technique and the rubbings given to him.
Not a word is changed, even the layout and page numbers are the same.
However, unlike its seemingly ordinary origin, the origin of the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique is much more fantastic.
"According to the family's historical records, more than three hundred years ago, our Wood family was just an ordinary small family. What we practiced was not the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique, but an ordinary knight's breathing technique called Swift Wind. The highest level was only
Can reach high level knight.
But everything changed during the demonic tide in the caves more than three hundred years ago."
"When our ancestor, Alec Wood, was killing a dragonfly-like monster whose black wings turned into weird jointed limbs, this giant mountain breathing method suddenly fell out from the wound on its abdomen."
Commons recounted the past, but even he found the story a bit bizarre. He finally added:
"As for the origin of Jushan Breathing Technique, this is what Alec's ancestor recorded. As for the real situation - more than three hundred years have passed and we have no way of knowing..."
Colin looked at the copy of the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique in his hand, which was made of ordinary material and had no special marks, and he couldn't help but frown.
Paper made of this kind of material can easily be soaked in water, not to mention the monster's stomach acid.
