When Colin arrived at the White Tower Hall, many wizards had already gathered here.
The stern-looking wizard Irvine stood alone on the high platform at the front, wearing a luxurious white satin witch robe and holding a gem-encrusted scepter in his hand.
At the front of the audience stood three second-level wizards, all of whom were male and looked strange.
However, from the badges and uniforms on their bodies, Colin still recognized them as wizards from the Neustadt City Law Enforcement Team.
'Why are the wizards from the law enforcement team here?'
"Colin, come here." Wilbur waved to him in a low voice.
Colin then discovered that although the wizards stationed like them were all standing in the audience, they were also divided into two distinct sides.
Standing on the left side, the unfamiliar badges on his body are no longer unfamiliar to Colin in the past two years - they are wizards from the wizard school in the Kingdom of Loen and the royal family of Loen.

On the right side, standing was a wizard from the Neustadt school like Wilbur.
Colin paused for a moment and walked slowly to Wilbur's side on the right.
"We've almost arrived. If you three have anything to say, we can start now."
After a while, Irvine looked at the three law enforcement team wizards in front of him and said calmly.
"Okay, Sir Irvine."
The leader was a young wizard with a gentle expression. He nodded politely towards Irvine, then walked up to the high platform and began to say to the wizards in the hall:
"I'm sorry to summon you all here suddenly. I am Huntington, from... the Insta School."
Huntington looked around at the wizards in the audience, and paused for a moment especially at the wizards from Neustadt.
Seeing that many wizards looked surprised and more respectful, he nodded with satisfaction.
Most of the wizards stationed in the Loen Kingdom are from affiliated schools of the Yinsta School. To a certain extent, the name of Yinsta here is more useful than the law enforcement team.
Colin couldn't help but be startled.
"You may not know something, but many members of the Insta School are also members of the law enforcement team." Wilbur noticed the change in his expression and added unsurprisingly.
Although this is not a secret, the Yinsta School and the law enforcement team do not spread it around, so not many people know about it.
"This is the first time I've heard of it..." Colin nodded slightly.
Wilbur wanted to say a few more words, but Huntington on the high platform started talking again, so he also closed his mouth.
On the high platform, Huntington continued to speak:
"I came here this time under the order of the law enforcement team to track down the Frost Phantom. The purpose of calling everyone here is to ask if you have noticed any traces of suspicious frost creations recently?"
Colin's expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank subconsciously.
"By the way, I haven't introduced Frost Phantom yet."
"Not much information is currently known about it, but its appearance should be humanoid, its attack method is similar to ice elements, and its strength is between the second-level advanced and third-level."
"Have you seen any suspicious signs?" Huntington continued to ask.
There was silence in the hall, and all the wizards shook their heads.
"No..." Henyendun sighed with some disappointment, and suddenly looked at the wizard of Loen Kingdom on the left inadvertently and asked again:
"What about everyone here, have you noticed any abnormal signs?"
"No."
"not at all……"
Henyington paused for a moment, then continued to ask:
"Is there any wizard among you who has practiced frost witchcraft?"
His question made the wizards of Loen Kingdom a little stunned, and Irwin next to him couldn't help but frown.
Elemental witchcraft is a major category of witchcraft, and frost and fire are the most common types among them.
Therefore, basically as long as you are a wizard, there is a high probability that you will have one or two skills of frost or fire witchcraft.
"Hen Yanton, do you mean that the wizards of Loen Kingdom have some suspicion?" Irwin asked in a deep voice.
The atmosphere in the White Tower Hall suddenly became tense.
"Sorry, Wizard Irvine." Huntington smiled, "Maybe I didn't make it clear. What I actually want to ask is whether any of the wizards present are conducting research on frost elements or are good at frost witchcraft.
.
Of course, it’s not just the wizards of Loen Kingdom, but also other wizards stationed there.”
Huntington turned to look at Colin again and asked calmly:
"Is there any wizard among you who meets the conditions I mentioned?"
Except for a few wizards who deliberately hide themselves, the wizards present have a general understanding of which aspects of witchcraft each other is good at.
Therefore, if he is indeed good at frost witchcraft, he obviously cannot hide it.
"Lord Huntington, I am better at frost witchcraft..."
Soon, a short wizard stood up with a dark face.
"Very good." Henyendun nodded slightly, then turned to look at the wizard of Loen Kingdom.
Colin keenly noticed that a fair-skinned wizard subconsciously wanted to stand up, but was quietly pulled by his companion next to him and pointed to the front.
Following their gazes, Wizard Irvine was looking at the Kingdom Wizard expressionlessly.
Huntington seemed unaware of this, or perhaps didn't care.
It's like just going through a process perfunctorily.
"I have finished what I want to ask, Your Excellency Irvine." Huntington turned around and said politely:
Erwin nodded expressionlessly, then looked at the wizards and announced, "If there is nothing else, you can leave now."
"Well...you have to stay. I need to ask you a few questions."
Henyington looked at the short wizard who stood up before and suddenly said again. The latter nodded with a grimace.
Follow the flow of people out of the White Tower Hall.
Colin and his group continued walking towards the outside of the White Tower, while the wizards of the Loen Kingdom who usually stayed in the White Tower took another path.
The wizards kept silent in a tacit agreement, and waited until they walked out of the White Tower before they finally couldn't help but start talking.
"Have you ever heard of Frost Phantom?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No..."
"Is it some new monster?"
"I don't know..."
"Sir Colin, have you ever heard of the Frost Phantom?" Wilbur suddenly asked.
"No." Colin shook his head calmly.
"Alas, the Kingdom of Loen is still too remote." Wilbur sighed and found another topic to join the chat among the wizards in front of him.
"Speaking of which, Hyman is really unlucky."
"Hahaha yes!"
"Who knows that he is indeed good at frost witchcraft!"
Colin walked silently as usual, and the wizard next to him was used to his appearance, so he didn't think there was anything unusual.
But in fact, Colin is currently remotely controlling the six frost shadows to stay away from the Kingdom of Loen.
"It's been two years since the Frost Phantom incident, why are you still finding the Kingdom of Loen now?" Colin was puzzled.
…
In the White Tower Hall.
"Have you not been conducting research on frost knowledge recently?" Henyington touched his chin, smiled at Heyman and said, "Okay, that's all I want to ask, you can leave now."
"Okay, Lord Huntington." Heyman breathed a sigh of relief, bowed respectfully, and left quickly.
After he left, only the three Huntingtons and Wizard Irvine were left in the White Tower Hall.
"Your Excellency Erwin, how is the harvest this year? Are all the crops strong?" Huntington suddenly asked.
"It's only April now, and the autumn harvest won't be until around September or October." Irvine said with a calm expression.
Huntington, a group of wizards who grew up in the Wizarding City, has completely broken away from production... However, the food in the entire city of Neuinstadt, and even in the Kingdom of Neuinstadt, mainly comes from the land of the Kingdom of Loen.
.
The importance of food here goes without saying.
Huntington did not feel embarrassed and changed the subject:
"The so-called Frost Phantom first appeared two years ago. It was also the first 'polluted creation' recorded in the city of Neustadt."
Erwin frowned slightly: "What does polluting creation mean?"
"Your Excellency Erwin should have heard of the 'Wizard Research and Management Regulations' promulgated in the city of Neustadt." Henyan paused and said, "And this decree was born precisely because of the emergence of polluted creations."
"The Adams family was the first to discover this abnormal situation and reported it to the Supreme Council. Because there was no definite evidence, the Supreme Council did not immediately enact a law at first."
"However, after careful investigation, monitoring, and frequent reports from law enforcement teams on cases of out-of-control cases caused by witchcraft research, the Supreme Council finally issued a decree.
It was not until recently that new discoveries were made that proved the Adams family’s original speculation.”
Erwin rubbed the scepter in his hand, feeling a little surprised. He did not expect that there was such a reason behind the promulgation of wizard research and management regulations in Neustadt City.
"But it is a pity that we have not been able to figure out the reason for the appearance of polluted creations. We only found that it may be related to the dirty words."
Heyenden sighed slightly and looked at Erwin: "Getting back to the subject, the Frost Phantoms are the earliest ones recorded in the city of Neuinstadt, and they are also one of the most typical pollution creations."
"And unlike other polluted creatures that don't have much wisdom and only know how to kill wizards like crazy, the Frost Phantom also has an inexplicable hatred for wizards, but it knows how to hide itself and is very cunning.
It has been missing for the past two years, but every time it appears it is accompanied by the wizard's death."
"So, the Supreme Council believes that it is extremely special, and perhaps the fundamental reason for the formation of polluted creation can be found in it."
After saying this, Heng Yan paused and continued:
"As for the rest and more, I can't say any more.
If Mr. Erwin notices any traces of Frost Phantom, please report it to the law enforcement team immediately."
Erwin was silent for a moment and nodded slowly, "I understand."
There was no expression on his face, but he was secretly confused in his heart.
Huntington's attitude is really good, and...it seems like he is really just here for the Frost Phantom?
"I have to go to the next kingdom, so I won't bother you any more." Henyandun smiled and prepared to leave.
But before he took two steps, he patted his head, turned around and continued:
"By the way, I almost forgot, the master of the school asked me to give you this."
Huntington took out a delicate golden token from his storage ring and handed it to Irwin.
Erwin was slightly startled. He recognized that this was the token of admission to the Yinsta School, and it was also the highest grade.
As his thoughts turned around, he finally understood why the wizard in front of him had such a good attitude before. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.
Huntington lowered his voice and whispered in Irvine’s ear:
"Your Excellency Erwin, the Luen family has lost the meditation method inheritance of high-level wizards, and it is impossible for a third-level wizard to appear again."
"As for the Kingdom of Loen, as the Golden Wheat of Neuinstadt, the family that controls it will not be able to convince the public if it only has a second-level wizard... Your Excellency, you should think about it carefully."
Huntington left after saying this.
Only Irvine with a gray beard was left, holding a golden token and sitting with a gloomy expression.
…
"Actually, a long time ago, there was a third-level wizard in the Loen royal family, and there was more than one."
Wilbur said with some emotion while drinking black tea.
"Did he die in the demonic tide hundreds of years ago?" Colin asked in confusion.
"Yes, there were originally three third-level wizards, but in the end they all died in the demonic tide."
Colin raised his eyebrows.
When he was previously investigating information related to the demonic tide in the underground cave, he knew that three wizards from the Loen royal family died during the demonic tide that lasted for three years.
But I didn’t expect that the three recorded wizards who died were all third-level wizards!
"Fortunately, the demonic tide has passed for a long time, otherwise I would not dare to come here." Wilbur said.
"I think that Huntington seems to have some conflicts with Wizard Irvine?" Colin thought for a while and suddenly asked again.
Wilbur put down the black tea, "Lord Huntington... It's not that he has a conflict with Wizard Irvine, but the Rune family has always felt that part of the reason why all their third-level wizards fell during the demonic tide that year
It was caused by the deliberate targeting of wizards led by the Insta School."
"Deliberately targeting...?"
Colin was stunned, but recalling the pure-blood families he had seen before, he suddenly felt that it was not that surprising.
"Right, I don't think it's possible either." Wilbur looked at his stunned expression and continued: "I think Wizard Irvine and the others thought too much. After all, in that demonic tide, the wizards of the school were also seriously injured.
, several third-level wizards also died."
Colin did not continue the topic, chatted for a while longer, gleaned some information about Huntington from Wilbur, and then stood up and left.
Although Wilbur didn't know much, it was enough for him to deduce that the purpose of Huntington and others' coming was most likely not because of the Frost Phantom.
Coincidentally, when Colin just walked out of Wilbur's house, he saw Huntington and his party flying away from the White Tower.
This made him more confident in his conclusion, and his worry was relieved a little.
'It seems that it was not the Shadow of Frost that attracted Huntington and others...but it is also true that the Shadow of Frost has only been used against the Wood family so far, and it has not shown its body shape, so it is unlikely to be exposed.
'
'Alas, everything has advantages and disadvantages. The Frost Phantom took the blame for myself at first, and now I have to worry about the investigation against the Frost Phantom affecting myself.'
Colin shook his head dumbly and walked quickly towards his home.
According to the plan, it's time for meditation.
I don't know if it's an illusion... I always feel that after advancing to the second level knight, there seem to be some changes in the wizard.
