Weird Wizarding World

The dark tide surges.

It was still daybreak. Colin stood quietly by the spacious balcony of the master bedroom, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance.

Not long after, a bright golden light appeared on the line where the sea and the sky meet in the distance. The sea level was suddenly sprinkled with bits of gold.

The undercurrent is therefore more obvious.

Even though it was just a distant view, just looking at this scene.

The smell of salty sea breeze seemed to reach the tip of his nose, and the sound of rushing tide echoed in his ears.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

It was at this time that there was a gentle knock on the wooden door of the bedroom.

Colin turned back to the house, opened the door, and walked out of the bedroom.

"Master." Renee greeted respectfully.

"What are you eating this morning?" Colin asked casually as he walked towards the restaurant downstairs.

"It's the seafood porridge that my master taught me to make last time, with fried fish and fried mushrooms."

"Yeah." Colin nodded with satisfaction.

Although Renee's talent in knight training is terrible, her cooking skills are the complete opposite.

Often just by listening to him talk about it once, he can do it almost exactly, and even doing it for the first time can be better than him doing it himself... You must know that he lived alone for several years in his previous life, except for entertainment. At work, the most important thing I do is to study cooking skills.

Although I can't say how good it is, being surpassed once is enough to prove Renee's talent in cooking.

Arriving at the restaurant on the first floor, a steaming bowl of seafood porridge was placed at the main seat of the long square dining table, which was large enough for 8 people. The fish and shrimp meat were clearly visible in it. It was definitely not like what I had eaten in my previous life. The picture is for reference only. .

There are two pan-fried fish steaks on the side, with mushrooms as a side dish.

"Go and ask Arthur to prepare the carriage." After sitting down, Colin ordered Renee.

His daily routine is to go to bed at about two in the morning and get up at six in the morning. Logically speaking, a servant like Renee Arthur should go to bed later and wake up earlier than him.

In fact, Renee did the same thing in the beginning.

But this kind of work and rest time is just one or two days a day, or a few days. If this continues for a long time, it will still be difficult for ordinary people to persevere...

It is not easy for ordinary mortals to become slaves of extraordinary beings such as wizards...

…

Hu~

Tap tap tap~

The black horse pulling the cart gradually slowed down and stopped slowly.

Colin got off the carriage and came to the familiar wizard alley again.

There were many shops selling witchcraft knowledge in the alleys, and Colin went straight to the most conspicuous and largest one.

There is no signboard, only a red flag with gold patterns on the eaves, with the symbol of the Rapp School tattooed on it.

In this store, you can not only buy witchcraft knowledge, but also sell witchcraft knowledge.

Needless to say, this is obviously a shop opened by the school. There is also a similar shop outside the wizard's territory on the mountain.

Apart from this, the school has not opened any stores. After all, the school doesn’t rely on its stores to make money either. Opening a shop of witchcraft knowledge is just to collect more knowledge.

The person guarding the shop is a junior wizard apprentice who is already quite old.

At the beginning, if the new wizard seeds cannot reach the intermediate level within ten years, they will not be directly expelled from the school.

Instead, they will be assigned to do these chores.

Unfortunately, Blackstone Island is not big, and the handyman positions offered by the Lapp School are even more limited.

By the time Colin's batch arrives, or earlier, the positions will be full. If these apprentices cannot advance, they will have no choice but to leave the school.

"I wonder what you need, sir?" Seeing Colin come in and catching a glimpse of the silver badge on his chest, the old wizard apprentice, who was at least sixty years old, stood up and came to greet him.

"I want to see auxiliary witchcraft, related to dodge and speed."

"Okay, sir. Please wait a moment."

After a while, the old wizard brought over a parchment catalog.

Colin read carefully from the beginning.

Mirror Image: Creates a silent, still optical illusion to confuse enemies.

‘A three-dimensional projector? It seems to be widely used, relatively practical, and has limit-breaking potential... unknown, perhaps in the direction of more projections, larger projections, from stillness to movement, or in the direction of real-time projection.

Well, it’s unlikely that an optical projection can finally break through the limit and become a clone. ’

‘Not bad... included in the list of options. ’

‘The price…50 magic stones? ! ’

Colin couldn't help but pause, touched his shriveled purse, and continued to look down.

But this time he chose to look at the price first.

Frog Leap Technique... 35 magic stones.

Apply oil to the soles of your feet... 42 magic stones.

...36 Magic Stones

…

Quickly scanning the witchcraft related to dodge and speed recorded in the catalog on one side, Colin's expression became worse and worse.

Maybe the store of the school only contains high-quality products, but no matter what, the cheapest one here starts with at least 10 magic stones.

He also saw several people who were excited... but unfortunately, they were short of money.

Next, he went to other shops selling witchcraft knowledge, but in general, he was satisfied with the ones he could not afford, and the ones he could afford were not satisfied.

However, he was not without gains.

Anyway, here we are. Although he didn't buy any witchcraft, he learned about all the witchcraft about dodge and speed sold here, which can be regarded as increasing his knowledge.

The witchcraft you like already has a target, and you can come and buy it directly as soon as you save enough money!

When I walked out of the last store, it was already past 11 o'clock in the morning.

Colin turned and walked towards a shop selling witchcraft materials.

After a while, he walked out with 120 pure crystals, returned to the carriage, and headed back home.

These pure crystals cost him 4 magic stones in total.

The bright crystal made from pure crystal is of better quality than miscellaneous crystal. It can usually be charged 60 times, and the single illumination time is about 6 hours. If you buy one, it will last you two months. If you save a little, it will last three or four months.

The price is naturally more expensive than bright crystals made from mixed crystals, and one magic stone can only buy ten.

Therefore, after all these pure crystals are made into bright crystals, he can earn about 8 magic stones.

According to the production of bright crystals that he has now upgraded to gold, he will need about two days to make 120 pure crystals.

This is equivalent to an income of 4 magic stones per day, which is quite considerable on the island.

At least it was much higher than the monthly salary of 10 magic stones in his patrol office.

It's a pity...compared to the hundreds or even thousands of limit-breaking points required for mid-level life-strengthening, this kind of money-making efficiency is still too low.

‘Perhaps, it’s time to try to find some other ways to make money. ’

Colin sat in the carriage and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He lifted the curtain of the round window of the carriage and looked out.

At this time, he had driven to the west area of ​​the city. The buildings on the roadside had become more plain to the naked eye, but there were still exquisite and luxurious houses, such as the rich street he was passing now.

Most of the houses here are single-family courtyards.

Outside these mansions, Colin noticed that not far in front, there were luxurious carriages parked outside a residence whose walls were covered with green vines.

‘There are so many carriages at the door…

This seems to be Regina's home...'

‘…It should be the party she was talking about yesterday. ’ Colin remembered.

Unexpectedly, the party would be held at Regina's home.

Speaking of which, Regina is really talented. It only took her four years to go from beginner to intermediate, and a large part of that time was spent learning various basic knowledge.

And now it's even more exaggerated. In just six years, he has already started preparing to advance to a senior apprenticeship...

'It seems that I broke through the circle meditation method once, and soon I will reach the limit again...'

Colin rubbed the bag containing pure crystals on his right hand and thought of it inexplicably.

After a while, the carriage drove him to the door of Regina's house.

For a moment, under the keen hearing, the sound of barbecue fat, the clinking of knives and forks, people's conversations, jokes... various sounds continued to reach my ears.

Without going in to see with his own eyes, just based on these sounds, he could imagine that it must be an extremely lively scene inside...

Putting down his hand, the curtain fell again under the influence of gravity.

Colin looked calm and allowed the carriage to take him away.

Those lively sounds gradually disappeared as the distance increased...
