MTL - Weird Wizarding World-Chapter 405 Upheaval (Happy New Years Eve!!)

  Chapter 405 Unrest (Happy New Year's Eve!)

   Wizard Erwin was confirmed missing two days after the elk monster appeared.

  Before this, compared to the traces of Wizard Erwin, the wizards were even more surprised——Golden Feather Kelin, who had been with him for more than two years, was so secretive!

  Water is muddy water when it is in the mud, sea water when it is in the sea, and high clouds in the sky.

  What kind of achievements most people in this world can achieve have long been determined by the surrounding environment.

Colin, the golden feather, came to the Kingdom of Loen, and spent two years without any surprises... These wizards who are stationed basically almost forgot the identity of the golden feather. As a fringe wizard who is not valued by the school and comes here to waste time like them.

  So when Wilbur and Howard vividly described the power of the fire elemental Colin summoned at the party that night, basically all the wizards stationed were stunned and silent.

  They suddenly discovered to their astonishment that gold is always gold, and there may be dust temporarily blinding the brilliance, but one day, those brilliance will shine again.

  However, the next day, three members of the Istar School arrived.

  A new piece of heavy news drew the attention of all wizards away from Colin.

  Three members of the Istar School gathered all the resident wizards in the hall on the first floor of the White Tower.

   "His Royal Highness Jennifer, you are the last person to see Your Excellency Erwin. Do you still remember where Your Excellency Erwin said you were going?"

  A handsome young man with green hair stood on the high platform and asked softly to the girl behind him. Although his words were polite, his tone was very blunt.

  But all the wizards present were not surprised. This wizard named Kom was a second-order wizard from the Istar school. It was not easy to treat a wizard apprentice politely.

  Jennifer just shook her head silently, her face pale.

   "Where is Your Highness Silas, as a knight guarding the White Tower, have you ever seen His Excellency Erwin leave?"

   "Not really." Silas with a firm face shook his head calmly.

   "I see." Kom nodded slightly, and then moved his gaze to the wizard stationed in the hall.

   "We were originally ordered by the school to come to routinely inspect the preparations for the autumn harvest of the Loen Kingdom, but as you can see—we unexpectedly discovered that Wizard Erwin has disappeared...

  No news was left behind, no one saw... Sorcerer Erwin and the remaining seven first-order wizards of the Loen family disappeared from the White Tower in such a bizarre way! "

  The wizards in the audience had different expressions when they heard the words.

  The official wizards of the Ruen family all live in the White Tower. Didn't expect that not only Wizard Erwin disappeared this time, but also the rest of the official wizards who lived in the White Tower disappeared along with them?

  Wilbur subconsciously glanced at Colin, remembering that the latter seemed to mention it the day before yesterday.

   It’s not that he doubts Colin’s suspicions, it’s just that he feels why he didn’t notice it keenly... Is this the gap between ordinary wizards and golden feathers?

   "I have informed Neustadt about this matter. Before receiving the order, everything will continue according to the original arrangement, but please don't leave the territory of the Kingdom of Loen."

  Kom briefly questioned all the wizards, and after learning the details, he gave a simple order.

  As a member of the Istar School and the only second-level wizard here, this behavior is quite normal.

   It's just that Colin still feels a little strange.

  Before when he and Wilbur went to meet Wizard Erwin, they got an explanation that Wizard Erwin was retreating.

  But why did Ke Mu discover the fact that Erwin was missing not long after they arrived?

  The three members of the Ishtar School should get the same explanation when they asked.

  After all, it is not a complicated matter to routinely inspect the preparations for the autumn harvest. Erwin can temporarily not receive Kom and the others because of something, and just send another wizard of the kingdom to lead them to check.

  Kom and the others couldn’t say anything more. After all, wizards sometimes do some research and just can’t tolerate interruption, and they can’t be disturbed...

   "Your Excellency Colin, there is a party tonight, do you want to come?"

  While walking out of the White Tower, Wilbur hesitantly approached and said, interrupting his thoughts.

   "Everyone is amazed that you can summon the second-level fire element... If you come tonight, no wizard will be absent."

"…Feel sorry."

   After pondering for a moment, Colin still shook his head and refused.

   Not to mention that Lilian and Shelley are still waiting for him, the shadow of flame witchcraft is actually almost at the end of the day, and he is confident that he will successfully create the shadow of flame tonight!

  Compared with these useless social interactions, it is better to quickly improve your strength.

  …

  The next morning, when the sky was about to shine, Colin succeeded in overcoming the last difficulty of the Shadow of Flame, and made a complete transformation model!

  However, before he started to transform the first Shadow of Flame, Kom issued another summoning order.

   Hurriedly rushed to the White Tower. The handsome Kom was standing on the high platform where Irwin used to stand, watching them calmly.

  For the high-ranking people in the wizarding world, there is no reason why water can carry a boat or capsize it.

  The underlying logic to maintain social stability is violence.

  Individual strength in the past life cannot bridge the gap, so from ancient times to the present, rulers have more or less taken care of some so-called public opinion.

  But in this world, no matter how dissatisfied ordinary people are, they cannot shake the cornerstone of wizard rule.

  A wizard like Kom who was born in a privileged class since he was a child, has a superior attitude towards ordinary people and even ordinary wizards in his bones.

   "Neustadt's order came in the early morning."

  After all the wizards arrived, Ke Mu glanced around and said calmly: "Until I find Wizard Erwin, I will temporarily act as the head wizard of the Loen Kingdom, and at the same time be responsible for investigating the cause of Your Excellency Erwin's disappearance."

   "The temporary position of the wizard in charge?" Colin was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked up at the high platform in front of him.

   Only then did he realize that the members of the Loen royal family who were supposed to be standing behind Ke Mu on the high platform were nowhere to be seen today.

   Turning around and searching, Colin saw the royal family members Jennifer and Silas standing on the left side of the stage where the kingdom wizard was standing.

  The young girl with a pretty face looked haggard at the moment, like a wilting white flower after the torrential rain. She was not wearing a fancy dress like the last time she saw it, but a black uniform, which made her pale and haggard temperament even more apparent.

  As for the Silas who had taken him to rubbing the knight's breathing method, his face was calm, but the slightly clenched fist in his right hand revealed an uneasy heart.

  The rest of the unfamiliar members of the Loen royal family mostly looked downcast, but they couldn't say anything.

  The Loen royal family, which has lost its official wizard, has existed in name only.

   After announcing the news, Kom dispersed the crowd and ordered everything to go on as usual, and he was going to start investigating Erwin's disappearance.

   "Let's go, Jennifer." Silas said softly, and walked towards the White Tower with the members of the royal family.

  Although Ke Mu temporarily took Erwin's position as the head wizard, the White Tower belonged to the Loen royal family, so they naturally couldn't forcibly occupy it.

  However, this does not have much impact. The reason why the White Tower is the power center of the Kingdom of Loen is not because of how special it is, but because of Erwin Loen, a second-order wizard.

   Members of the royal family quietly came to a secret room on the third floor of the White Tower.

Silas, who was walking at the end, looked from the window in the corridor, and happened to see Kom who had just stepped out of the white tower and looked back. The latter looked at Silas, and there seemed to be a subtle smile on his handsome face .

  However, when Silas wanted to see if it was his own illusion, Kom had already turned around and walked towards the distance with the two first-order companions beside him.

   Silas withdrew his gaze, walked into the secret room with a frown, closed the door tightly, and sat in the corner.

  嗡—

  The aura of witchcraft quietly enveloped the entire secret room.

   A majestic middle-aged man sitting at the main seat looked at Jennifer and asked in a deep voice:

   "There is a witch formation covering it now, Jennifer, you can tell us where Grandfather Erwin went."

   "I don't know..." Jennifer said nervously, "Ervin's great-grandfather just asked me to dress up that day, saying that he was going to introduce me to a marriage partner..."

  She briefly recounted the embarrassing scene that day, and finally said:

"After I was rejected, I stayed upstairs. Great-grandfather and Colin seemed to talk for a while, but I didn't hear what they talked about. After that, Colin left the White Tower, and great-grandfather came up to give me the half badge , and let me leave the White Tower..."

  DeWilt rubbed the half badge that Jennifer gave him, and frowned deeply.

   What did grandfather and Colin talk about? In fact, it is not difficult to guess through this badge and the sudden withdrawal of a bunch of golden flame wheat.

   But the mysterious and silent disappearance of the grandfather after that is the most puzzling thing.

   "Sierras, grandpa specifically told you not to disturb them, if anyone tells you that you are in retreat, right?" De Wiert sighed slightly in his heart, then turned his head to confirm.

   "Yes." Silas nodded in a deep voice.

  In fact, if it weren't for this, they wouldn't have just learned the news yesterday.

  But, why did Grandfather Erwin and the others suddenly leave without leaving any news... Puzzled on De Wiert's majestic face.

  In the secret room, the atmosphere is as silent as a leaden cloud cover.

  …

  In the temporary rented house of Kem next to the White Tower.

  Antoine hurried in from the door, came to the desk, and respectfully said to Ke Mu:

   "Master Kom, new information has arrived. There are only three combat powers in the Loen Kingdom that are suspected of reaching the second level—

   Lillian Rudolph, Colin Leonard of the Tin Saint School, and Deloiterine of the Chase Chamber of Commerce. "

"Among them, Colin Leonard is the Golden Feather of the Tin Saint School. He is currently performing garrison missions in the Kingdom of Loen. His strength is a first-level high-level. But it is said that he can summon a second-level fire element, and Lilian is a genuine second-level The wizard should have come to visit Colin.

  As for the last Drojeline, her strength is not clear...but at least she is a first-order senior wizard. "

   "Well, I see." Ke Mu nodded lightly, "The golden feather of the Xisheng School...can summon the second-level fire element, but he has some talents...Why did you send it to the Kingdom of Loen to garrison?"

   "I heard that they don't want to join a pure-blood family."

   "Oh! So he's an idiot." Kom sneered, then looked at Antoine and said, "Just pay a little attention, this Jin Yu is nothing to worry about."

   "As for his senior sister, she won't be able to stay in Loen Kingdom for long, so don't worry about it."

   "What about the Chasai Chamber of Commerce, what exactly is it?"

   "...is a foreign-developed chamber of commerce with its roots in Meredith City."

   "The Chamber of Commerce from Meredith City? Don't worry about it for now, the profit-seeking Chamber of Commerce will not affect our plan."

  Kom got up slowly, walked to the window, squinted his eyes slightly and stared at the bustling golden ears of wheat.

   "The time has not yet come. During this time, you should try to keep a low profile and don't provoke anyone! Also...the actions and attitudes of investigating Erwen's disappearance must also be shown, and don't show any flaws."

   "Yes!" An Tuowan and the two nodded solemnly, then got up and pretended to go out to investigate.

  Kom did not continue to stay in the house, but went out with Antoine and the others.

  Although all the information left by Erwin and those first-order wizards was cleared, even if the Loen royal family had doubts, there was nothing they could do about it.

  But you still have to do enough superficial work, the critical day is coming, and you can't lose the chain at this time.

  …

  For ordinary resident wizards like Colin, the mysterious disappearance of the official wizard of the Loen family did not have any substantial impact on them.

  Colin still patrolled daily according to the arrangement, then practiced, and played with Shelley and Lilian.

  However, such a happy time lasted only three days.

   "I have to go back to the school."

  This afternoon, they were sitting in the gazebo in the garden of Colin Villa and having afternoon tea.

   Lilian raised her head and said suddenly, with a bit of reluctance on her face, she suddenly received a summoning message from the school.

   "Why did the school suddenly initiate a call?" Colin asked suspiciously. It was the first time he had seen such a situation after joining the Xisheng School for several years.

   "I don't know." Lilian shook her head.

   "It should be because of the war." Shelley added abruptly.

   "Does Your Excellency Dorothy know the reason?"

   Lilian turned her head in surprise, but Colin was not surprised. He had already experienced the powerful intelligence capabilities of the Chasay Chamber of Commerce, or the Truth Society.

  But... What is the war that Shelley is talking about?

   "The frontline battlefield has detected signs of the assembly of the gods' troops, and it seems to be preparing to start a large-scale war." Shelley explained, paused and added:

   "Every time there is a war, the Supreme Council will order the school to recall as many wizards as possible. Although the official order has not yet been issued, I guess it will not be long before the Supreme Council will issue a formal order."

  War is coming again?

  Colin and Lilian were stunned, speechless.

"What's more, the number of polluted creations in Neustadt City has increased sharply recently. Basically, there are several incidents of polluted creations attacking wizards every day, which has led to an extreme shortage of wizards in the city's law enforcement team." Shelley After thinking about it, he added.

   "Well, the so-called polluted creations are created by wizards like the Frost Phantom, but suffered from inexplicable pollution."

  The reason why she knows this is mainly because her adoptive father, who is also a mentor Silvestre, has returned to Neustadt.

The   school summoning order was very urgent, and Lilian reluctantly left after drinking the black tea.

   Shelley continued to stay for a while, but also left because of something.

  Colin was the only one left in the garden.

  He took a sip of black tea lightly, and couldn't help sighing.

  The green grass outside the pavilion is full of lush flowers, and occasionally colorful butterflies and hardworking bees shuttle among them, which is a peaceful and beautiful picture.

  However, leaving this garden, the outside world is undercurrents and turbulent.

  Colin put down the black tea and stood up slowly.

  A faint orange color flashed in the shadows reflected on the gray stone table, making him feel a little more secure out of thin air.

  'Let's continue to practice, the shadow of flame has only transformed one...'

  Colin shook his head and walked forward.

  Dang~dang~dang.

  However, at this time, the gate of the courtyard was knocked lightly.

   "Is Your Excellency Colin there?" Jennifer Ruen's familiar voice came from outside the door.
