Weird Wizarding World

After walking out of the wooden house, Orlando snorted coldly and pulled Willard towards the right. Colin was forced to walk to the left with Catherine.

The two walked one behind the other.

"Kid, don't think anything of me."

Catherine said abruptly. She glanced back at Colin and said coldly:

"Orlando's head is full of crap, and I don't want you to be too!"

Colin's expression remained unchanged, but he was very stunned in his heart. He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing Colin's calm expression, Catherine frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Sometimes, a real man is the one who dares to admit his own thoughts."

"...I really have no idea about you."

Colin slowly stopped and said solemnly. His face was calm and his tone was sincere and sincere.

Catherine sneered and continued walking forward. Looks disdainful.

Colin frowned and chose to wait a few more minutes, until Catherine's figure had turned into a small dot, and then slowly took a step forward.

‘What a disaster. ’ He sighed inwardly.

He had not expected Catherine to have such a bad character.

Fortunately, the wooden houses on duty are about five hundred meters away from each other, so some embarrassment can be avoided to some extent.

Entering the wooden house, Colin took out the bright crystal, lit it, and placed it on the wooden lamp stand on the wall next to it.

With the soft white light, he looked around the room.

The layout of this place is the same as the previous cabin where Captain Holt lived. It is a large single room with a toilet. There is a set of tables and chairs on the left side of the front half of the door.

There is a tatami-like soft mat placed on the floor in the middle of the room. It looks quite clean, it must have been recently replaced.

But Colin still gave it a cleansing blow before slowly sitting down.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

As soon as Colin sat down, there was a knock on the door.

‘Could a ferocious beast attack so soon? ’

He frowned and quickly stood up and opened the door.

"grown ups."

As soon as the door opened, he saw a sturdy city guard captain wearing fine steel armor, taking off his helmet and putting it on his left hand, and then greeted him respectfully and caressed his chest.

Behind him were several city guards wearing plate armor who also took off their helmets to pay tribute.

"Is there a ferocious beast coming?" Colin asked, "Why not launch a signal flare?"

"No, sir, we came here specifically to see you." The captain of the city guard quickly explained, and then added,

"You have just come on duty. You may not know that the area our team is responsible for is your area."

Without waiting for Colin to answer, he waved back, took a huge gray cloth bag from the hands of the team members, and handed it to Colin.

"These are some of our thoughts. Please accept them."

The guard captain held the cloth bag in his hands, and he looked at Colin nervously.

For these patrolling city guards, it is particularly important to have a good relationship with the wizards on duty.

When a vicious beast attacks, perhaps as long as the wizard on duty pays more attention, sees the flare in time, and arrives ten seconds and a half earlier, they can save one life.

Colin hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it.

He has gradually become accustomed to the rules of this world.

"Sir, please take good care of me in the future... then we won't disturb you any more."

Seeing Colin take it, the guard captain breathed a sigh of relief and then said goodbye.

Colin nodded calmly and watched them file away with torches and start patrolling.

The City Guards are a force other than the four major gangs and the three major families, and belong directly to the city lord Price Bennett.

Price is an old peak wizard apprentice, probably in his 90s. His body is weak and there is no hope of advancement.

The only wish now is to let his blood spread.

The school is aloof and never looks down on other forces, and is unwilling to waste its energy in Blackstone City.

So I hit it off with Price.

Price manages all the trivial matters in Black Rock City for the school. In addition to dispatching guards, the school helps deal with the problems of polluters, cults, and ferocious beasts.

You just need to wait for the resources to be collected every month.

While thinking about it, Colin stepped to the window and looked at the top of the mountain in the distance, which was the location of the Rapp School.

‘In the school, most of the wizards stay in the Wizarding Territory. They enjoy the provision of the entire city without having to worry about trivial matters. Except for necessary tasks, just focus on climbing forward. ’

‘…But the guards can only stay in this place. ’

He breathed out the golden paper.

The progress of the intermediate apprentice above is stuck at 2/100.

'Come to think of it, the progress of my wizard training is so slow. In addition to the reason that it is more difficult to improve after advancement, it is also because the magic energy in Black Rock City is far less rich than that of the wizard...'

He sighed slightly in his heart, walked to the cushion in the middle of the room, and sat down cross-legged.

………………

On patrol.

The team members chatted in low voices.

"Do you think the new wizard is reliable? He doesn't look older than me!"

"Yeah, what a bad luck! It's been so long since a new wizard arrived, how come we just happened to meet him. I just hope there won't be any vicious beasts attacking us this month."

"Well, the worse the strength, the better the character. He looked so gentle when giving gifts, so I guess his strength..."

"Shut up!" the guard captain scolded in a deep voice, "Don't discuss wizards behind your back."

The team members were silent.

The guard captain paused and then said: "I have been more cautious in the past month. The beast is coming, so run faster!"

Then he added casually: "Run to the nearest wooden house first... I remember that the veiled witch is on the left..."

"Yes, Captain!"

The team members immediately understood.

Most of them were from the lower levels of the city. Although they had chosen to be city guards, they were already prepared to face danger.

But being from a lower-class background also means that they are likely to be the breadwinners of the family, which forces them to cherish their lives.

The guard captain continued to lead the patrol with a torch, his face calm, but his heart was a little uneasy.

The worries of the team members are also his worries.

It’s been a long time since such a young wizard came to the west of the city.

In the past, when new wizards came, they wouldn't be so worried because the beasts were not strong.

But in recent years, the ferocious beasts have become stronger and stronger... Not long ago, a wizard was lost here.

If the new wizard from the Lapp school is weak, it will not have any impact on him. Because when he is in danger, the wizards next to him will help him, so it is difficult to lose his life.

But it's completely different for them.

Although he hinted that the team members should be smarter and run to the stronger wizard in the distance.

But in fact, the lives of everyone in their team are bound to the corresponding wizards on duty.

If the wizard dies, they will eventually die as well.

…

Time flies.

That night, the weather was calm, there were no vicious beast attacks, only the sound of city guards patrolling from time to time.

Colin looked at the clock on the shelf on the wall, stood up slowly, packed his things and prepared to go home.

As Holt said, the guard's job on duty doesn't have many rules.

When the time comes, just leave when the time comes. There is no need to report to anyone and there are no performance reviews.

Punishment will only occur when the beast is handled improperly, such as when the beast is absent from work and the beast attacks, causing losses.

Picking up the gray cloth bag given to him by the city guard last night on the wooden table, Colin opened the door and walked out.

The cloth bag contained a large piece of fresh meat. If I guessed correctly, it should be the meat of a ferocious beast.

But Colin really couldn't identify what kind of animal it was.

However, no matter what kind of ferocious animal meat is, it is a good thing, and ordinary people can strengthen their health by eating it regularly.

Of course, its biggest benefit is that it can assist knights in their training.

The reason why the city guards are all knights and the captains are all great knights is because they rely on the meat of ferocious beasts.

In addition, the meat of ferocious beasts is also an invisible benefit for the City West Guards.

The ferocious beasts killed by the wizards will all be purchased by the city guards.

If you encounter a lot of ferocious beasts in a month, you can also increase your income by a few magic stones.

When he walked out of the wooden house, Colin happened to meet the wizard who came to change shifts and was also a member of the Lapp school. The two said hello in a friendly way.

In fact, Colin had seen him from a distance when he came to the cabin last night, but maybe because he was delayed for some time in Holt's cabin, the two did not meet head-on.

The fields to the west of the city account for more than 80% of the entire Black Rock City's food output. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

So basically, there are wizards guarding here at all times.
