Weird Wizarding World

Before Colin could reach the door, the door to the archives room was pushed open, and a red-haired man walked in.

"Lord Hongyan." The two of Leiden quickly greeted respectfully in unison.

"Teacher Barnett." Colin also greeted quickly.

He was a little surprised when he heard the two Leidens calling Berkeley.

‘So Berkeley is the Lord Hongyan they said? ’

Berkeley glanced at the three of them, nodded casually, and walked straight to the bookshelf on the left.

Looks a little busy.

Colin glanced at Berkeley's back and continued walking out the door.

The island is so small. He didn't expect that Berkeley, whom he met by chance before, would be his current boss.

Jerome had previously introduced to him upstairs: the logistics, security, and mining within the school were managed by three special senior wizard apprentices.

They are stronger than ordinary high-level wizard apprentices, and are also called peak wizard apprentices.

They are the three most promising people in the school to advance to become official wizards.

The peak wizard apprentice who is responsible for guard duties and is the immediate boss of both the guard team and the patrol team is what they call Lord Hongyan.

That was the Berkeley Barnett he knew.

Colin gently opened the door.

"etc."

At this moment, Berkeley seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned around and called him.

He looked at the silver badge worn on Colin's chest with some surprise and said, "Have you advanced to an intermediate apprenticeship?"

"...Yes, Lord Barnet."

Colin frowned, doubts arose in his heart, and he glanced at Layton reflexively.

‘Didn’t he report it to Berkeley? ’

Looking at Layton's unnatural expression, he seemed to understand something and added to Berkeley:

"Not long after I advanced... I was assigned to the guard team by the school. I just came to report today."

"Yes." Berkeley nodded and asked, "Did you receive the equipment?"

"Took it."

"Very good, I will work hard here at the headquarters from now on."

As soon as Berkeley finished speaking, Layton and Jerome's expressions instantly turned ugly.

They all looked at Colin with pleading eyes.

Colin finally understood at this time.

He lowered his head, pretending not to see the eyes of Leiden and the other two, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't it the west of the city that I was assigned to? Mr. Barnett."

Berkeley raised his eyebrows, looked at Colin who looked confused, and then looked back at the two Leidens.

"Sir, I seem to have misremembered and accidentally assigned him to the west of the city!" Leiden explained quickly.

Berkeley's expression turned cold, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

It was obvious to him that Layton was lying.

The guards always take turns in assigning their places. Last time it was the east of the city, and this time it's the city headquarters' turn.

If you want to change to another place, someone must switch, and both parties must be willing.

And in the end, you have to come to him to apply, and you can only change it after he agrees.

Colin in front of him obviously knew nothing about this. He had never received an application, let alone approved it...

Berkeley suppressed his anger and did not speak. He just continued to stare at Leighton and Jerome with a cold face.

Under his cold aura, Layton's quibbling voice gradually became weaker, and finally he could no longer withstand the pressure and spilled the truth.

"...That's what happened, Lord Hongyan, I was blinded by greed!" Leiden lowered his head.

"My lord, I was also at fault. I shouldn't have protected him!" Jerome also added regretfully.

After Berkeley listened, he stood there expressionlessly, and after a while he slowly spoke:

"I'll deal with you two later."

He turned to look at Colin and asked:

"What's your choice, Leonard, stay at the headquarters or go to the west of the city."

Colin reflexively wanted to answer that he would stay in the city, but when he raised his head and met Berkeley's calm eyes, he suddenly changed his words:

"...Can you tell me the difference between the two? Teacher Barnett."

Berkeley looked calm, nodded and replied:

“If you choose to stay at the headquarters, it will be the same as normal, there will be no other differences;

If you choose to go to the west of the city, the eighty magic stones Leiden mentioned will be yours. "

His tone was calm, without any tendency, just stating the facts.

Colin pondered for a moment, then asked: "What is the difference between the west of the city and the center of the city? Teacher, I heard before that the west of the city is particularly dangerous, and even wizards died there..."

"...The west part of the city is not as prosperous as the city. Taverns and restaurants are rare, but it is closer to the magic veins than the city, and the concentration of magic energy is higher."

"Because we are close to the dark forest, ferocious beasts will run out from time to time. It is indeed dangerous, but ferocious beasts are good targets for practicing witchcraft."

"As for what you said about wizards dying, it's true...but there are very few casualties among our guard members."

"For newcomers like you, there will be a buffer time of one month. You don't need to do anything during this month, you just need to send the school to the four wizarding societies."

"After you learn how to do it, you start to be responsible for patrolling, and you usually work with the old apprentices at the beginning."

Berkeley paused and then added:

"Of course, this does not mean that you will not encounter life-threatening danger. Like I said, the guards rarely suffer casualties, but it is not impossible."

Colin thought quietly, and soon he made a choice.

He looked at Berkeley and said calmly: "I choose the west side of the city, Lord Barnett."

After listening to so many introductions, he already had a clear understanding of the differences between the middle of the city and the west of the city.

In the past, he would have preferred to retire in the city, but now his thoughts are completely different.

Strength is the foundation of this world!

To give up the pursuit of power is to commit suicide slowly.

The low concentration of magic energy in the city was intolerable to him.

What he hesitated before was the danger in the west of the city.

But now after Berkeley explained it carefully, he understood that the west side of the city was not as dangerous as he imagined.

Most of the dead were probably wizards from other forces, maybe just junior wizard apprentices.

As an intermediate wizard apprentice of the school, and he also had gold paper, he wanted to be cautious and not lose his life.

What's more, if he chooses to stay in the city, wouldn't he lose 80 magic stones in vain?

80 magic stones is not a small amount, and Colin has never been exposed to so many magic stones.

Although he doesn't need so many magic stones yet, the more magic stones the better.

From the current point of view, at least if Gold Paper Bright Crystal Production I wants to break the limit again, the limit breaking points required have been directly increased ten times.

If the other second limits are also multiplied by ten times, then it won't be long before he is in a situation where he is short of magic stones.

Therefore, he should prepare to accumulate magic stones as soon as possible.

After hearing Colin's choice, Berkeley nodded and said nothing more.

He just told Leiden to take out 80 magic stones and hand them to him.

Colin was a little surprised. Berkeley now directly asked Leiden to give him the magic stone, which undoubtedly saved him a lot of trouble.

Leiden took out his money bag with some pain, took out 80 magic stones and handed them to Colin.

Colin took the magic stone calmly and glanced at Leiden.

Layton's face was full of physical pain, but other than that, he seemed to have no other emotions.

"Thank you... Lord Hongyan, I will go to the west of the city to report first." Colin turned his head and looked at Berkeley and said.

"You go ahead." Berkeley nodded.

Colin opened the door and walked out.

It was getting late, so he had to hurry up and report to the west of the city.
