It was noon when the awarding ceremony started, but by the time Colin was sent off, it was almost evening.
Noins and Colin talked a lot in the corridor, telling Colin almost all the things he thought of that needed attention in detail.
After seeing Colin off, Noins came to the study.
Sure enough, just as he expected, the elders of the family council were already waiting for him in the study.
"Good afternoon, Noyce." The old wizard with white hair greeted him.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Vincent." Noins walked behind the desk and sat down.
"You should know why I came here this time." Vincent said, "You can no longer use family resources to help Colin unless he joins the Tate family. This is a request that the family council asked me to convey to you. Do you understand?
?」
Noyins nodded calmly: "I understand, is there anything else?"
"It's good that you know. Just use the once-in-a-hundred-year election opportunity. The Tate family does not lack that member."

"But you are Noins, the Noins of the Tate family. The interests of the family must come first in everything. Things like this that harm the interests of the family and help a hybrid wizard for free cannot happen again."
Old Vincent adjusted his glasses and babbled. Finally, he paused and looked at Noins and advised:
"Otherwise, the family council may consider launching an impeachment ceremony against you, and then there will be another turmoil... Sigh, please keep it in mind, Gerald."
Hearing this last title that he had not heard for a long time, Noyins suddenly felt a little confused. He was silent for a moment and sighed:
"I understand, Uncle Vincent."

"Uu——!"
The speeding carriage slowly stopped in front of the tall arch. Colin got out of the car and looked at the familiar giant door with withered flowers in front of him and the left and right figures on the door. He still felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart.
A few years ago, he went through a difficult journey before finally being able to step through this door, but today he has to take the initiative to leave... The circumstances in life are always unpredictable.
Stepping inside, Colin headed in the direction of Black Castle.
However, after taking a few steps, a figure greeted him first.
"Congressman Colin." The visitor was a third-level wizard with a very respectful expression on his face.
Colin was certain that he had never met this wizard, but he obviously knew him.
"...Who are you?" Colin asked. In the past, when facing a third-level wizard in the school, his tone should have been respectful, but now it is no longer the past, and the roles have been reversed.
"Leach...Leach Siddosh." The wizard answered.
The wizard of the Hidos family... Colin frowned slightly.
"On behalf of the Hidos family, I would like to apologize to you for what happened in the past." Leach said quickly, and at the same time handed Colin a delicate wooden box that had been prepared long ago.
"This is a gift from the Hitos family to congratulate you on your becoming a member of Parliament. Please accept it."
Colin paused, then took the wooden box.
Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief and then added: "In addition, the school has also prepared a celebration party for you. I was planning to go find you to inform you about this, but I never expected to meet you here."...
.
"Celebration party?" Colin looked at Leach, paused and said, "I came back this time to actually quit the school."
"Ah, it's okay, Senator Colin. The school has already anticipated this. This celebration party is mainly to celebrate your becoming a member. It will not affect your withdrawal from the school when the time comes."
Leach was not surprised at all and continued to say with a smile:
"The school has prepared many gifts for you. The time of holding the event is also up to you. If you are in a hurry, we can hold it later. The venue has been prepared."
Colin looked hesitant, and Leach continued to persuade:
"Congressman Colin has to deal with the matter of withdrawing from the school anyway. By the way, it will be the same at the party. It will not take up more of your time."
Colin pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, it won't be too late. Let's hold it later."
…
The setting sun disappears below the horizon, and the night falls like a curtain.
Deep in the Tin Sage School, Colin was holding a glass of wine as he greeted the congratulations of strange wizards one after another.
Fortunately, most of these congratulations did not come empty-handed, so he did not feel bored.
"Colin...Congressman." A familiar person came in front of him.
"Your Excellency Nancy." Colin's eyes lit up and he greeted.
The sorceress in front of him was the Inspector of Black Castle. After he asked Noins for help, she led him to rescue his mentor and senior sister.
"Congratulations on becoming a member of the House of Representatives." Nancy's eyes were a little complicated, and it felt like not long had passed. The ordinary young man at the time had become a big shot that she needed to look up to...
"Thank you." Colin smiled, "Thank you also for helping me rescue my mentor and senior sister."
"You're welcome." Nancy shook her head.
"Congratulations, Colin, our Xisheng School has not had a councilor for a long time!"
At this time, a burly wizard with a beard walked over with a big smile. He was not wearing a witch robe or a badge.
But when Nancy saw him, she quickly bowed her head and greeted him:
"Master Leopold!"
"Yeah." Leopold nodded and gave Nancy a wink. The latter immediately smiled understandingly at Colin, then turned and left.
"Your Excellency Leopold." Colin also greeted the visitor with a respectful tone.
Wizards have always been respected for their strength. Although he is a councilor, he is only a third-level wizard after all, while the Leopold in front of him is a genuine fourth-level wizard.
"No need to be polite, I should thank you for bringing this honor to the Xisheng School." After saying that, Leopold stretched out his right hand and boldly threw a storage ring to Colin, "Then, this is what you should do.
Got it."
Compared to a wizard, this man with a beard looks more like a mercenary warrior who would appear in a tavern and drink ale.
"Thanks."
"Needless to say these, they are all useless polite words. If you really want to thank me, then stay in the Xisheng School."
Colin was slightly startled and remained silent.
Leopold curled his lips, a trace of undetectable disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then said:
"I am giving you this because your becoming a member of Parliament has really brought a lot of substantial benefits to the Xisheng School, and you deserve it."….
"Okay, wait until the party starts, then go up and show your face briefly, and then you can leave."
After saying that, Leopold was about to leave. Although this party was nominally to celebrate Colin's becoming a member of Parliament, for him, it was only possible to take this opportunity to negotiate some profit distribution and establish some relationships with some of the wizards present.
is something more important.
Anyway, Colin will definitely leave the Xisheng School, everyone knows this.
Except for the nine major schools, who among the other schools can retain members of the Supreme Council?
"Your Excellency Leopold." Colin called out to him.
"Is there anything else?" Leopold turned around.
"I do have something to ask you." Colin pondered for a moment and said, "I have a mentor and a senior sister in the school. They were sent to the front line some time ago. I want to ask you to bring them back.
"
Leopold raised his eyebrows, "It's not enough for you to leave the school yourself, but you also want to leave with your mentor and senior sister? Is the Xisheng School so bad?"
"Your Excellency, you are joking. It's just that I have just become a member of Parliament and have territory that urgently needs management. I really lack the manpower to help."
"As for whether the tutor and senior sister choose to leave the school, it will depend on their opinions at that time."
"Okay, I'll just help you.
Leopold waved his hands impatiently, paused and then said:
"If there has been something unpleasant for you in the Xisheng School before, if possible, I hope you can stop worrying about it.
Of course, this is not an order, nor is it a threat... It's just that on a certain level, when the Xisheng School faces the nine sects and those real pure-blood families, it is actually no different from your original situation.
…This is the way this world works.”
Leopold sneered, "Your origin has limited most things. Just like me, even a fourth-level wizard will never be able to become a member of the Supreme Council."
"You are lucky, Colin, but you are not that lucky either. More troubles are still waiting for you..."
Leopold turned and walked into the crowd.
Shortly after the party started, Colin followed Leopold to the stage, showed his face, and left through the side door.
His departure may have been noticed, but it did not cause any disturbance at the party that was supposed to celebrate his becoming a congressman.
…
In the Black Castle.
"Congressman Colin, everything has been taken care of. You only need to return the school badge and the golden feather nameplate to me, and you will officially leave the school."
"From now on, I will no longer be bound by the Xisheng School, and of course I will no longer enjoy the various rights and interests of members of the Xisheng School."
"Yes." Colin nodded, took out the feather-shaped Xisheng School badge and the golden feather nameplate from his waist, and held it in his hand. The cold texture was very familiar. After rubbing it for a moment, he handed them over.
Reagan in front of him.
"Okay, so now, everything has been dealt with." Reagan took the badge and nameplate and destroyed them in front of Colin.
Colin watched this scene with some emotion in his heart. He sighed in his heart and turned around to leave.
"I'll see you off, Senator Colin." Reagan followed...
Colin didn't care. After walking out of the Black Castle, he didn't choose to fly. He walked and looked around.
Tonight is a bright moonlit night, and the flat stone road under your feet is clearly visible, and the green trees next to it are also covered with a layer of silver gauze, unlike ordinary nights where they are just black silhouettes.
The night wind blew by, swaying the branches and leaves, and the whirling sound made the silence of the night even more evident.
‘After tonight, I don’t know when I will come again.’
As his thoughts were flowing, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in front of him.
"Colin?" Bernie was a little surprised and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, we meet... Mr. Reagan again?!"
He was suddenly stunned when he looked at the familiar wizard next to Colin, and then quickly bowed respectfully.
"Congressman Colin, do you know Bernie?"
"We know each other. We often met each other when I was attending lectures at the teaching castle." Colin smiled.
"That's it." Reagan nodded, looked at Bernie in front of him a few more times, and remembered him in his heart.
"Let's go." Colin said with a smile.
Bernie's sudden appearance diluted some of the emotions in his heart. He still remembered Bernie's sincere advice when he met him a few days ago... and he didn't know what it would be like to see him now.
But after all, it's just a nod of acquaintance, and I'm afraid it won't be nice to talk more.
Colin continued walking forward, followed closely by Reagan.
Bernie in the back was still there, his mind was already a lake of slurry, and he was unable to react until Colin and the two were far away.
‘Colin…Congressman?,
…
The next day, the Zhenzhihui will be stationed.
After waiting all night, Colin finally waited for Xue Lai to come out.
Xue Lai looked tired and was still frowning when she walked out of the door. She saw Colin's hand put down outside the door and asked with a smile:
"You have officially become a member of the Supreme Council?"
"Yeah." Colin nodded and pointed to the badge on his chest.
"congratulations."
"Thank you." Colin smiled.
Although it has
After hearing countless congratulations, this is not the first time for Xue Lai to congratulate him on becoming a member of Parliament.
But every time I hear it, I smile. It’s not because of anything, but sincere congratulations like this without anything else mixed in. It’s rare in this world.
"I came to you to tell you a piece of news." He continued, "After becoming a councilor, you will be assigned to manage an area, and the place I was assigned is the Tireme Plain."
"The entire Tireme Plain?" Xue Lai was stunned for a moment.
"Yes."
"Didn't Noins help you?" A worried look appeared on Xue Lai's face, "You are only a second-level wizard, and the Tilaimei Plain has just been attacked by gods..."
"This is elected by vote, and Mr. Noins can do nothing about it." Colin shook his head, then paused and said: "He has done enough for me."
"Let's not mention this matter for now. I come to you this time to say two things."
"The first thing is - I can help the Chasai Chamber of Commerce become the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Tilaimei Plain, and I can also provide necessary conveniences to the Truth Society. At the same time, I also need the Truth Society to cooperate with me in managing the entire Tilaimei Plain.
plain."
"The second thing -" Colin paused, "I may be able to help with farmland pollution..."
…
A few days later, Atbold and Lilian returned to the city of Neuinstadt.
After being really shocked, the two of them chose to follow Colin and leave the Xisheng School without hesitation.
After dealing with these, Colin finally embarked on his return journey, heading back to the Kingdom of Loen, which was also his territory.
