Weird Wizarding World

Early the next morning,

Colin had just woken up not long ago.

Renee served him a steaming breakfast.

Looking out the window at the still dim sky, Colin showed a satisfied smile.

Then the whole day was spent studying.

With Renee cooking, taking care of chores, his own time is once again freed up!

...I never expected that one day, I would actually live a corrupt life of reaching out for clothes and opening my mouth for food.

At noon, Colin briefly introduced the Lapp School and some forces in the city to Arthur and Renee, so that they could understand their own position and who they could provoke and who they could not.

Of course, since he didn't know much about the distribution of forces in the city, he only briefly talked about it once and mentioned the Lapp School.

During this period, Arthur and Renee were in shock throughout the whole process. They never thought that the real overlord of the island was the unheard-of Rapp School far away on the top of the mountain.

Colin was not surprised by this. Ordinary civilians and wizards were two completely different classes.

Even though wizards in Black Rock City never hide their existence, ordinary civilians' understanding of wizards is still limited.

After hearing this, Arthur's attitude towards Colin became more respectful, even to the point of fear.

Renee, on the other hand, was a little depressed.

Time flew by and it was evening. After Colin had dinner, he took a carriage to the west gate of Black Rock City.

After getting off the carriage and telling Arthur to pick him up at dawn tomorrow morning, he asked Arthur to go back.

Then he stood alone at the city gate and waited.

After a while, when the sun set in the west and there was only the last trace of sunset left on the horizon, Holt finally arrived.

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Holt said as he strode out of the city.

At this time, other wizards came one after another.

This is not surprising. In addition to the Lapp School, there are also people from the four major gangs and three families on duty.

Holt took him to the far right outside the city.

"The wooden houses on duty are not fixed. They will be rotated every time. Just remember to move to the right every time. This time we are the five wooden houses on the right. Next time we will be the leftmost wooden house."

"After you get familiar with it, you can come directly here by yourself. There aren't that many rules here, as long as you don't forget to be on duty."

"Okay." Colin responded.

Holter pulled him to the wooden house in the middle.

The guard team consists of a small team and a captain of five people. The captain usually sits in the wooden house in the middle to facilitate assistance and support.

"On the first day of duty every month, all members will meet in the wooden house in the middle. They mainly come to me to receive their monthly salary."

"They should be almost here now, so you can get to know each other."

Holt said to Colin as he opened the door.

Colin nodded. After joining the City West Guard for so long, he had only met Captain Holt and Minister Barton.

"Boss, you are finally here!"

As soon as he opened the door, an excited and thick male voice came into his ears.

Colin looked around and saw that the fat man sitting at the back of the wooden table in the middle of the room was speaking. He stood up as he spoke.

Next to him sat a man and a woman.

"team leader."

The man had a cold face and shouted softly when he saw Holt come in.

The woman wears a veil, so her face cannot be seen clearly, and her facial features appear to be gentler.

But soon, Colin retracted this evaluation.

"Orlando, sooner or later you will die from that half-elf bitch!" The woman laughed loudly at the fat man who stood up earlier.

His voice was rough, but his tone was also very bad.

Orlando turned a deaf ear and just came to Holt's side diligently and stretched out his hand.

"…Catherine is right, you have to be moderate, Orlando."

Holt was also a little helpless, but he still took out ten magic stones and handed them to him.

Orlando took the magic stone, touched his head and smiled.

"I know, boss..."

Holt sighed and said nothing more.

"Captain, why don't you introduce the new team members?" Willard, a cold man, suddenly asked.

The masked Catherine also looked over with interest.

"This is Colin, an intermediate apprentice who just advanced last month." Holt introduced.

"He's a newcomer." Catherine looked at Colin and asked, "Can the fireball technique and Hope's defensive force field be instantaneous?"

"Not yet." Colin responded, "But I..."

Catherine was a little disgusted when she heard this, but then she said casually:

"You can't deal with ferocious beasts at your level... Stay next to me for a while. Call me sister and I will protect you."

The tone is bad, and he is more teasing than caring.

"Catherine, I didn't expect you to be so good. Sister, you are over thirty and you are old enough to be someone else's mother. Are you embarrassed?"

suddenly came Orlando's sarcastic voice.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

boom!

Immediately afterwards, a huge fireball suddenly shot towards Orlando!

Orlando's expression changed drastically, and he quickly put up a translucent blue shield.

But he still couldn't resist the fireball, the shield quickly shattered, and he was knocked to the ground.

When Colin saw this, his eyelids twitched.

Based on the power of this fireball, it is estimated that two shots can break through his steel armor.

"Old woman! What's wrong with you?!" Orlando stood up in embarrassment, furious.

Looking carefully, he seemed to have no other injuries except for some burn marks on his clothes.

"enough!"

Holt quickly stopped and raised his hand to extinguish the spreading flames.

Immediately afterwards, another green light shone out, and the charred and damaged areas on the wall of the wooden house began to sprout and grow, and finally the holes slowly healed.

But Catherine still couldn't help but feel angry, and a surge of magic was brewing.

"I've said enough."

Upon seeing this, Holt uttered a few words coldly again.

As the words fell, a shuddering aura suddenly descended into the room.

In a daze, Colin seemed to see a huge, intertwined black ancient tree swaying in the shadow behind Holt.

"I'm sorry, boss." Orlando apologized hastily.

"...I'm sorry, Captain." Catherine's face turned pale and she whispered softly.

Although Holt is gentle and doesn't care about the way they speak on weekdays, they will still be frightened if they are angry.

The shuddering aura suddenly dissipated, and Colin breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked up and saw Willard on the other side exhaling slightly.

The two of them looked at each other, feeling a bit of sympathy for each other.

At this time, Holt regained his gentleness and gave Catherine and Willard the magic stone.

Then he urged them to quickly go to their cabins for duty.

Before they went out, he specifically asked Colin to live in the wooden house on his left as a way of taking care of him.

Although he had a certain understanding of Colin's strength and knew that he was far stronger than a newly advanced intermediate apprentice.

But no matter what, in his eyes, Colin has only advanced for a month. Even if he is strong, he is probably only limited... and the diversity of his methods cannot be compared with that of a senior intermediate apprentice.
