Walking quickly all the way, Colin finally breathed a sigh of relief until he entered the school and felt the power of the witch formation.
When walking outside, everyone will remain respectful when they see the black badge pinned on his chest.
But he himself is just an ordinary junior wizard apprentice, and he is really not confident enough.
The crystal stall owner he was bargaining with was an intermediate wizard apprentice!
Although he is estimated to be over sixty years old and has reached the peak of his life... the stall owner can still make him lose his life as long as he is willing.
...This feeling that his life depends on other people's thoughts really makes him feel a little depressed.
Colin slightly adjusted the half-body leather armor that was a little out of place due to walking, but his expression was indistinguishable.
Pushing open the narrow door and tying the iron rod, he turned to look at the wide door next door.
Several carriages were passing slowly there.
There were four carriages in total, loaded with goods, and the horsemen driving them were all ordinary people.
On the island, this means they are all slaves.
At the front is the steward riding a brown horse alone, wearing ordinary gray wizard robes.
Judging from the slightly different but still black badge on his chest, he must be a junior wizard apprentice, about forty years old.
The steward also saw Colin, signaled the convoy to stop, and then greeted him respectfully.
Colin nodded in response and moved on.
There is only one road in front of him, and the middle-aged manager is waiting for him to take it first.
After Colin walked to the front of the motorcade,
The steward waited for a while longer, then signaled to the drivers behind him to move forward, got off his horse, and walked instead.
He did not go to talk to Colin in front of him, but kept an appropriate distance and followed behind.
At this point in time, junior wizard apprentices like Colin have no hope of advancing.
After three months, he was kicked out of the school, and his status was not even as good as his. It was no longer worth fawning over.
Of course, there is no need to offend, just be respectful and keep your distance.
'Is it April already?'
Listening to the tapping of horse hooves behind him, Colin suddenly thought.
Generally speaking, the day to send daily necessities is the first day of each month.
'But let's do the math.'
He then thought about it.
Since the sixth year, their courses have been held once a month. Depending on when the instructor is available, they will be notified in advance or at short notice.
The last time I had a class was at the end of March, and now a few days later, it’s already April.
'So, starting from today, there are really only three months left...' A feeling of nervousness suddenly surged in his heart.
"Check...uh!"
Suddenly, a faint shout seemed to come from the wind, and it instantly turned into a muffled roar!
Colin was startled, subconsciously slowed down and looked at the junior apprentice residential area not far ahead.
Although he has been in this world for several days, he is still very insecure and is very cautious about all changes.
There are no fences in the residential area, and neatly arranged stone houses are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main road.
He glanced around, but saw no one.
The wind continued to blow, and he gradually stopped and focused on his hearing.
"Jie... Ming... are you in a situation? Or... the mutual aid club... the daily necessities for this month..."
Another person's voice came over, and he also determined the specific location of the voice... It was probably on the right side of the main road in the residential area.
The voice was intermittent and weak, and it was difficult to hear what was being said, but there was a vague sense of familiarity.
"Sir, what's wrong?" At this time, the steward who was following behind to transport supplies saw Colin stop. After a moment of silence, he led the horse to Colin and asked proactively.
The sound coming from the distance was weak. He was still quite far away from Colin just now, so he didn't hear it.
"...Nothing, I suddenly remembered something." A strange look flashed in Colin's eyes, he shook his head and explained, and then added, "If you want to rush to deliver supplies, just leave first, there is no need to follow me.
"
"Okay, sir."
The middle-aged steward had some doubts on his face, but he didn't think much about it. He greeted the convoy behind him, bowed to Colin, and got on his horse.
"drive!"
Colin got out of the way and stood on the side of the road, watching the four carriages passing slowly in front of him.
The convoy transporting supplies must first be sent to the intermediate-level and above wizards who live in castles far away to select.
The main road in the middle of their residence is the only way to get there.
No matter what happened in the previous gathering place, it was probably just a dispute between students and would not affect the convoy... But it was unknown whether it would affect him.
To be cautious, let the team take the lead, which would at least give him some more reaction time.
In this strange world, you must be careful about everything.
The last carriage slowly passed in front of him. Colin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly took a step forward, following the left side of the carriage and walking side by side with it.
Because it carried a large amount of supplies, the carriage was not very fast, so it only needed to increase its pace to keep up.
The driver on the carriage felt someone beside the carriage and looked back.
As a result, he accidentally made eye contact with Colin. He subconsciously turned around in panic, but quickly turned back in fear, and forced out a shaky smile.
Colin waved his hand and didn't care.
Unless ordinary people are relatives of wizards, they will always be the lowest slaves on this island.
Soon, the convoy entered the narrow main road in the residential area.
Colin quickened his pace and walked to the middle of the carriage, completely blocking his figure. The coachman sitting in front straightened his back and looked nervous.
The motorcade continued to drive, and through the gap in the carriage, Colin turned his head and looked to the right, where the sound he just heard came from.
His sight passed through closed stone houses and empty alleys. Everything seemed peaceful, and the sound just now was just an illusion.
Colin continued to observe. Soon, he discovered something strange.
In the third dark alley between stone houses.
Three figures stood in the middle, covering the road completely.
At this time, we were watching the motorcade passing by outside the alley.
‘Charlie, Owen…and the one who can’t see clearly in the shadows, the black man Heywood? What are they doing there?’ Doubts arose in Colin’s mind.
"That's...Jeff?" Then his eyes narrowed and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Behind the three Charlies, a figure with a face covered in blood suddenly stood up.
Although the figure's face was obscured by blood and looked a bit blurry.
But in class that day, under Charlie’s speech, Jeff’s disdainful ridicule and the figure who left first are still vivid in my mind.
He will never admit that it is Jeff!
The scene in the alley gradually disappeared from his sight, and Colin gradually turned his head.
‘Is Charlie taking revenge on Jeff for losing his face that day?’ He secretly speculated.
Although the logic was consistent, he still felt a little strange, 'But how come Haywood and Irving are with him? Did Jeff also offend these two people? Or was it a helper brought by Charlie?'
'And the 'Mutual Aid Association'...' He now remembered the Mohu voice that came from the wind before. If he guessed correctly, it should be Charlie's.
After following the carriage for a while, Colin turned into an alley on the left and circled back to his stone house.
After returning to the stone house, he put aside the matters in the alley, had a hasty breakfast, and walked into the meditation room without stopping.
