Jonson was born into the Carmen family, which is a large family of the Insta school. Important members of a large family like him generally have some security measures to protect themselves or for revenge.
However, since the world of Yharnam is full of filthy nonsense, which greatly interferes with various communication methods, after Jonson's death, the spiritual light will first be transmitted to the nearest hub, and then it will be transmitted to the Carmen family through the synagogue.
Generally speaking, such hubs are located in big cities and will be guarded by wizards.
Leo City is a large wizard city located between Tireme and Neuinstadt, and Chris is a fourth-level wizard stationed in Leo City.
After he saw the news of Jonson's death, he rushed over immediately and notified the Carmen family.
But Chris never expected that it would be like this after arriving at the scene.
"Congressman Jonson suddenly appeared in Golden Wheat Sheep with four third-level wizards and tried to kill me... All the circumstances have been recorded in this image crystal."
Colin continued, took a rubbing of the photo crystal that Jennifer gave him, and gently threw it to Chris.
Chris subconsciously took it, and the crystal spontaneously played the projection.
The fourth-level wizard looked at the picture projected by the crystal and gradually frowned.
Although Jonson didn't say it clearly, he obviously didn't get the credentials from the Supreme Council... Where did he have the courage to come directly to the door like this?!
Although the picture in the crystal is incomplete, based on the content in front of me, it is obvious that Jonson brought this incident on himself...
Chris held the crystal, and the projection had finished playing. He was silent for a moment, and finally just said:
"The news of Jonson's death should have reached the Carmen family. If I am not mistaken, the person who came should be his uncle—Ron Carmen. A prim and serious fourth-level congressman."
"Thank you for reminding me." Colin said with a smile, "It's cold at high altitudes. Why don't you come with me to the palace?"
Chris hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head, "I'll just wait here. Sir Ron should be arriving soon."
After saying that, he added: "Don't worry, Mr. Colin, I just need to let Mr. Ron know that I rushed over as soon as possible. After he arrives, I will return to Leo City."
"Okay." Colin nodded lightly.
It is already difficult for a wizard like Chris to remain neutral, and he cannot ask for too much.
Since Chris didn't want to go down, Colin didn't leave and continued to stay in the air.
Just as Chris said, after the two chatted for a while, a fourth-level wizard came to Golden Wheat Sheaf.
"Chris, what's the specific situation?"
Ron was wearing a gray robe and looked like a young man. His face was calm, but there was clearly suppressed anger in his eyes.
The message from Jonson was not a message for help, but news of death.
His nephew, a third-level wizard, the backbone of the Carmen family... died suddenly like this!
Chris glanced at Colin and said to Ron: "I just arrived not long ago. For the specific situation, it might be better for Mr. Ron to ask Mr. Colin."
Ron frowned slightly, Chris looked calm and said no more.
Although Ron is indeed superior to him in terms of strength, everyone is a fourth-level wizard from a top family, so he is not afraid of Ron.
"What happened to Jonson? You will know as soon as you look at the crystal." Colin also threw a copy of the rubbings of the photo crystal to Ron.
Only then did the latter take a closer look at Colin, and said in surprise: "Have you advanced to the fourth-level wizard?"
"Occasionally, I got something outside the strong wall, and I broke through by luck." Colin replied calmly. He looked at Ron with some doubts in his heart.
From Ron's current appearance, it seems that he is not aware of Jonson's actions?
Just as Colin thought, Ron did not know that Jonson had done such a thing. He looked at the crystal, his expression getting darker and darker.
"You bastard, you dare to take four members of the family and do whatever you want!"
When Ron saw that Jonson actually chose to attack Colin directly, his face became even more ugly!
After a while, the projection ended and Ron understood what happened.
He slowly turned his gaze to Colin and said coldly: "Anyway, since you dare to kill the wizard of the Carmen family, you must be well prepared to deal with the consequences."
As he spoke, the magic power in Ron began to surge.
Colin said nothing, his expression remained calm.
The current result did not exceed his expectations. In the end, it was always necessary to fight and see the truth under his hands.
Red energy began to surge, and Colin was ready to fight.
"I know you, Colin." Ron did not rush to attack, but said,
"I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, you would have broken through from the third level to the fourth level.
This kind of talent can be ranked at least in the top three among all the geniuses I have seen."
He looked at Colin and said calmly: "The wizard family is in a crisis, and I will not kill you."
"But if you killed Jonson, you have to give an explanation to the Carmen family and be prepared to fight me!"
Colin was slightly startled, and looked at Ron with some surprise.
He originally thought that as both wizards of the Carmen family, the Ron in front of him should not be too different from Jonson, but now it seems to be completely different from what he imagined.
Compared with Jonson, this wizard can even be said to be... very different.
However, no matter how different it was, this battle was still as inevitable as he imagined.
On the side, Chris silently retreated into the distance.
However, he did not turn around and leave as he said before, but stood aside and watched the battle silently.
Originally, strong winds were raging thousands of meters high in front of us, but as Colin and Ron's momentum surged, these never-ending strong winds gradually stopped, as if they were solidified by some kind of force.
Instead, there were two huge cyclones that appeared due to mental power, energy, etc. interfering with reality.
One group is red gold in color, and the other group is pale gold.
The Carmen family is most famous for its gold element transformation. After advancing to the fourth level, the soul body will inherit the sharp and solid characteristics of the gold element, which is very powerful.
The two faced each other across the distance, and the power brewing between them continued to grow!
Ron looked surprised and exhaled slowly: "It's true that I underestimated you."
Whoosh!
The words were not spoken yet.
A golden light suddenly shot out!
boom!
Colin didn't dodge or evade, and faced him head-on.
Just take this opportunity to test your strength!
The two began to fight, and their figures were like light and electricity intersecting, making it impossible for ordinary people to see clearly!
Violent explosions kept coming, the clouds shook endlessly, and even Chris in the distance could feel the strong shock wave, causing him to subconsciously move back further.
The noise caused by this battle that took place high in the sky was also clearly visible on the ground. Ordinary people could only hear the thunderous sound and see the colorful glow.
But the wizards could clearly feel the violent fluctuations coming from this battle.
However, the battle lasted shorter than expected.
At least it was shorter than Chris imagined, probably only a short while.
Colin and Jonson suddenly separated and faced each other while suspended in the air.
It's just that compared to before, the auras of both of them are a little messy now.
After careful observation, Chris was shocked to find that Colin was obviously slightly better in terms of their respective states.
Ron's left arm was unnaturally stiff, obviously injured!
But Colin just panted slightly.
After a long time.
Ron looked at Colin and suddenly said:
"Today's battle ends here. Jonson's incident is his own fault. The Carmen family will not interfere again."
After finishing speaking, Ron turned around and left.
Colin looked at his retreating back and had no intention of pursuing him.
After all, it seems that this uncle cares less about his nephew's life and death than about the glory of his family.
During the battle, as he said at the beginning, he was not here to kill him...
But no matter what, after the battle now, everything seems to have been resolved.
After watching Ron go away, Colin once again invited Chris, who was watching the game from a distance.
But this time, the wizard did not refuse, but chose to accept Colin's invitation.
Palace drawing room.
Colin and Chris were sitting opposite each other by the window, and the maids were placing exquisite refreshments on the table.
"How is the current situation in Leo City where you are located?"
After taking a sip of black tea, Colin and Chris began to chat.
"It's not much different from before, but recently because of the appearance of the golden wall, many wizards who originally came to seek refuge in the Wizard City have chosen to leave, and more wizards have chosen to go to the sea front."
"It is said that with your military exploits, you can exchange for an island with magic energy veins."
"This is a good opportunity for ordinary wizards to start a sect."
Colin nodded and asked, "Have the remnants of the gods in the sea not been wiped out yet?"
"No." Chris shook his head, "But it will probably be soon."
He looked at Colin and continued: "The remaining believers of the gods over in Graham City are the real trouble."
"How do you say this?" Colin asked.
Graham, or the Far North, is where he will go soon.
"There is a lack of food in the far north, so the wizards there just set up a defense line and did not launch an attack, intending to wait for work.
But in fact, once the defense line is deployed, the strength of the wizard's side will be too spread out, and the remaining believers of the gods often gather into small groups of elites, often breaking through the defense line to plunder food."
"In addition, Graham still has some food reserves, so it won't be long before those believers in the gods themselves weaken."
Colin frowned, "At this time, we should concentrate our efforts to catch all the remaining believers of the gods and recapture Graham as soon as possible."
"Indeed, but at least for now, they are only besieging but not attacking. I don't know if they plan to wait until the battle on the sea side is over before gathering all their strength to eliminate the remaining believers of the gods." Chris hesitated.
"If this is the plan, it makes sense, but it is still a waste of time. Each of the nine wizarding cities is crucial. If Graham can be recovered earlier, then the wizards can start to recuperate earlier."
"Moreover, I'm afraid that those wizards don't think so, but simply don't want to be the ones who gnaw on hard bones to preserve their own strength."
Chris felt the same way, "Yeah, everyone knows that as long as they keep besieging the large army of believers of gods, they will die sooner or later.
Even if a small group of god believers occasionally plunders food, it is only a drop in the bucket."
"It is precisely because of this that no one is willing to be the first person to bear the final counterattack of the believers of the gods."
Colin was silent, human nature is always seeking profit, so those who are willing to sacrifice and sacrifice will be precious.
"Actually, I plan to go to the far north in a while."
Chris raised his eyebrows slightly, "For Graham's sake?"
"No." Colin shook his head, "For some personal matters."
He paused and finally stated the purpose of inviting Chris.
"The Tireme Plain is right next to the Leo Kingdom. I would like to ask you to take care of it while I'm away."
"Of course it's no problem." Chris nodded and said with a friendly smile, "It's just a little effort. I'll go to the ring tower and leave my coordinates later. If there is any crisis that cannot be handled, just ask them to contact me!
Wizards are supposed to be there to help each other!"
Colin smiled and said: "Then thank you in advance."
"You're welcome." Chris smiled and said, "If you are worried about the Carmen family coming for revenge again, there is no need to do so.
Ron has a very rigid and serious temperament, and once he has said it is done, he will keep his word."
"I understand." Colin nodded, but looked at Ron again.
The bad impression brought about by Jonson about the Carmen family has also been mostly eliminated.
After all, Jonson is dead and has already had an affair with Ron. The grudge has been resolved. He is a reasonable person. As long as the Carmen family does not take the initiative to provoke him in the future, then this matter will be over.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Next, the two chatted for a while, and Chris went to the Communication Ring Tower, left his address, and then took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
Colin sent him out of the palace, watched his back go away, and then came to the wizard tower without stopping.
In the corner room on the second floor, Xue Lai, who had transformed into a frost beauty, was lying quietly on the bed, while Lillian was waiting beside her like a shadow.
"Has there been any change in Xue Lai's situation?" Colin walked into the room and asked.
"No." Lilian shook her head, "There is no change in appearance, and there is no change in the fluctuation of the soul."
Colin came to Xue Lai's side and stared at the sorceress who was covered in frost and had her eyes closed. After a moment of silence, he said:
"I have to go to the far north."
"Are you here to save Xue?"
"Yes." Colin nodded, paused and said, "I asked Mr. Chris to take care of the Tireme Plains when I leave. If there is anything urgent, you can contact him through the Ring Tower."
"Okay." Lilian nodded, pursed her lips, "Go early and come back early."
"Your Majesty Xue Lai, I'll leave it to you!"
Colin nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I will cure her."
After saying that, he reached out to pick up the snow, turned around and walked outside.
Since Mr. Sylvester originally wanted Xue Lai to go to the Far North with him, it is most likely a beneficial choice to take Xue Lai to the Far North now.
Anyway, with Colin's current strength, bringing Xue Lai with him won't have much impact on him.
"And..." Lilian stopped him again.
Colin turned his head, and in his field of vision, the wizard was looking up at him, saying word by word:
"Promise me that you will come back safely."
Colin's red-gold eyes were facing Lilian, and he said in a very serious voice:
"I will!"
After saying that, he no longer delayed, turned around and headed towards Graham with Xue Lai.
