Chapter 217 First Level Ascension

After flying rapidly all the way, Colin landed at the city gate and strode into the city, his steps a little hurried.

Flying is not possible in Gupil City, so it is still somewhat troublesome.

Restricted by the street environment...if you're walking, you can't get up quickly, otherwise you'll easily be misunderstood.

And... Colin turned his head and looked around, sighing secretly.

The most important thing is that there are no public carriages in Gupil City, or the number is too scarce... In short, he has been here for a day and has not seen even one.

Besides... Colin frowned slightly.

For some reason, he always felt that the number of people coming and going on the streets of Gupil seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.

Maybe an ordinary person wouldn't feel this way, but he has a super brain and is extremely sensitive to changes in his surroundings.

‘Maybe it’s because the war front line is too close and the wizard population is losing? ’ Colin speculated secretly.

Gupil Island is not far from the front line of the war. It can even be said that this is the nearest big island to the front line.

Although I don’t know what the situation is on the front line of the war now, at least from the news I heard before, the wizard’s defense line has been moving back... It’s not optimistic.

Under such circumstances, it is understandable that there are fewer people on the island...

But for some reason, Colin remembered the apprentice's ravings again.

"Escape quickly..."

His heart sank, and he walked quickly and returned to the castle in a short time.

Walking into the castle, the hall on the first floor was empty, no one was there.

"The explanation has been completed so quickly...or did Wizard Link not summon all the wizards after he came back?"

Colin was confused and continued walking upstairs.

He originally thought that since Wizard Link was back, he would naturally convene everyone in the lobby on the first floor to announce the specific assessment content of the Athos Society...

"Sir Colin, you are finally back."

As soon as he walked up to the fourth floor, Colin met Meier who was coming downstairs.

Meier looked at him and breathed a sigh of relief, and said quickly:

"Lord Link just came back and announced that we will go to the port and leave by boat in an hour. Lord Margaret asked me to go find you."

‘Leaving by boat so soon? ’

Colin paused for a moment to digest the information, and then asked: "Did Master Link say anything about the specific content of the Athos Council?"

"No." Meier shook his head, "Lord Link summoned everyone when they came back, but they did not explain in detail the content of the Alius Council. They just ordered them to pack their things and leave the port by boat in an hour."

"That's it." Colin nodded.

"I'm afraid the specific content of the Arleus Conference will not be explained until we leave the island and arrive at our destination." Meier speculated.

Then he added: "Since you are back, I will go back and remember to talk to Lady Margaret. Her room is in the first room on the fifth floor."

"Okay." Colin nodded, turned and walked towards the fifth floor.

The lighting in the castle is not good. When walking in the corridor, only some square gray stone windows the size of human heads let in a little sunlight.

Colin frowned, not expecting the departure from the island to come so suddenly.

He also wanted to see the red-haired elf again, and use Anandu's Dice in the wild on Gupil Island.

But now... I'm afraid I have to give up.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

He reached the fifth floor and knocked gently on Margaret's door.

"Please come in."

After a moment, Margaret's voice came.

Push the door open and enter.

"Lady Margaret, Meyer..." Colin said respectfully.

"We'll leave for the port in an hour. Quickly pack your things and get ready."

Margaret interrupted him and said impatiently.

"Yes..." Colin nodded calmly.

In fact, Wizard Link did not restrict them from going out, and even specially prepared a bracelet to remind them.

He shook his head in his mind, not paying attention, and then continued:

"Lady Margaret, I encountered a strange thing during this trip..."

Margaret frowned slightly.

Colin's expression remained unchanged, and he told Margaret what he said about the apprentice he met.

This kind of thing is both small and big.

But anyway, he happened to come to Margaret, and it didn't take much trouble to mention it to her again.

Even if Margaret was impatient, she would say a few words to him at most. There would be no essential loss for him, but if she put herself in danger because she didn't say anything, it would be more than worth the loss.

He can naturally distinguish the pros and cons.

"I see."

After Margaret heard what he said, she was startled for a moment, then waved her hand to signal him to leave.

The attitude was surprisingly not as bad as Colin imagined.

It's like...

Walking on the stairs back to the room, Colin stared at the gray-black steps extending under his feet, wondering in his heart.

Margaret's performance gave him no feeling of surprise, nor did she laugh at him for making such a fuss over the strange behavior of a wizard apprentice.

It's as if...as if I already knew something in advance.

When I got back to the room, there was nothing to clean up.

Colin pondered for a moment and took out the little red flower given to him by the elf Naxi.

The red flower has five petals in total. Its appearance is just like the most common wild flower, but its size is more confusing. It looks like the texture of jade, but in fact the red flower is still as soft as an ordinary flower.

‘I don’t know what kind of flower this is. ’

After Colin held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, he moved his left hand and took out the knowledge crystal that had not been used for a long time.

This was the gift given to him by the ghost Erica, and it was also a reward.

There is a lot of knowledge recorded in it, but most of it is in dilapidated condition. Only some potion knowledge is still intact.

But you may be able to find relevant information there.

Colin calmed down and put his spirit into the crystal.

Now that there is a super brain, he only needs to check the knowledge once in the knowledge crystal, and he does not need to check it a second time.

Memorizing knowledge has become the easiest part of learning knowledge for him.

It's a pity... In this world, apart from learning knowledge and understanding knowledge, acquiring knowledge is even more difficult.

Especially the knowledge of formal wizards.

Even though he is a member of the school, the only witchcraft that can be considered as acquired now are only two. The rest of the first-level witchcraft are all obtained by breaking the limit of gold paper.

Colin did a rough search of the knowledge crystal.

Red flower, flower, elf... No matching information was found under these keywords.

He couldn't help but sigh.

He was not surprised by such a result, after all, it was not the first time.

The McIntosh Wizard Tower has been plundered by the Blackstone Family and Lapp Wizards, and the tower spirit has not been able to replenish its soul for many years. The knowledge in the knowledge crystal is in ruins, and there is very little that is useful to him.

Putting the knowledge crystal away, Colin was not in a hurry to memorize all the knowledge inside.

Now that we are on the battlefield, it is better to prioritize improving our combat power.

After thinking for a moment, Colin began to practice the Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field I. This witchcraft was now on the verge of breaking its limit, and he was just one step away.

About half an hour later, Colin stopped practicing, took out the magic stone, and prepared to break the limit!

He gently exhaled a breath and began to transform the limit breaking point. Although it was not the first time he broke the limit, this time it was different.

The Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field I was previously engraved in the spiritual sea by him, and he does not know whether the model in the spiritual sea will change accordingly after this limit is broken.

'If it doesn't work, it will be a bit troublesome...'

Watching the number of limit-breaking points rising, Colin couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Although the witchcraft model in the spiritual sea can be erased and the remaining witchcraft models can be re-engraved.

But in this way, not only does it take time, but also in order to prevent the spiritual sea from being affected, it is necessary to spend a lot of magic stones to purchase special auxiliary potions... which is very troublesome.

Not long after, when the limit-breaking number was fixed at 20,000, the ↑ symbol behind the steel temperature-resistant force field I also lit up.

'Fortunately, I got an unexpected fortune...'

Taking a deep breath, Colin did not hesitate, concentrated his energy, and headed towards the ↑ symbol!

boom!

The dark characters suddenly blurred and changed.

After a while, it was finally settled on - [Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field II (0/100)]!

Without enough time to test the effect of breaking the limit, Colin sank his mind into the spiritual sea first.

After a moment, he frowned and couldn't help but sigh.

The model in the spiritual sea is still a steel temperature-resistant force field that breaks through the limits...

'It's still too beautiful to think about. What breaks the limit of gold paper is witchcraft. How can it affect the witchcraft model that has already been engraved in the spiritual sea...'

Colin shook his head and stood up.

With a thought in his mind, he displayed the steel temperature-resistant force field II after breaking the limit.

About two and a half seconds later.

A faint white light appeared on his body.

Before the second limit was broken, the casting time of the Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field I without the witchcraft model engraved was about one second. After the witchcraft model was engraved, the casting time was reduced to about 0.1 second.

It can be regarded as the normal level of first-level low-level witchcraft.

And now after breaking the limit for the second time... Colin glanced at the gold paper.

The Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field II has been classified by the gold paper into the first-order high-level witchcraft column...

‘First level of ascendance? ! ’

Colin felt pleasantly surprised, and then sighed.

If we look at it realistically.

For a first-level junior wizard, being able to cast a first-level high-level witchcraft is already a genius.

It is even more rare to be able to control the duration of the operation to two and a half seconds.

But two and a half seconds... is still too much, especially for defensive wizardry.

"Huh?!"

Just when Colin was about to cast the steel temperature-resistant force field that broke the limit again, his face suddenly changed slightly and his mind sank into the spiritual sea.

In the deep and vast space without stars or moon, only the source of the soul, the talent tree, and the witchcraft model engraved on the side glowed slightly.

But at this time, the witchcraft model of the Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field I actually changed inexplicably... Several magic circuits seemed to have moved slightly.

Colin is filled with doubts...

But after a moment's thought, Superintelligence asked him to eliminate most of the factors and list the most likely influencing factors.

‘Is it because I used the second limit-breaking steel temperature-resistant force field? ’ Colin murmured softly.

The way to check whether this is the case is simple... With a thought in his mind, he once again used the steel temperature-resistant force field that broke the limit for the second time!

A faint white light emerged, and Colin sank into the spiritual sea again.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and murmured softly.

"It's true."

The originally engraved steel temperature-resistant force field model that broke the limit has indeed changed a lot.

And... Colin was surprised and happy.

If you read it correctly, the Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field I Witchcraft Model is transforming into the Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field II Witchcraft Model!

If he could use magic to transform the model of the Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field I into the Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field II, that would undoubtedly be a good thing for him!

"Perhaps the reason behind this is that every time you perform witchcraft... you need to build a witchcraft model in the spiritual sea?"

Colin speculated secretly.

I don’t know if this is because the Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field II after the golden paper broke the limit and the original Steel Temperature Resistant Force Field I come from the same source, or because it is the hidden function of the golden paper...

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the door, interrupting Colin's thoughts.

Snap.

He subconsciously opened his pocket watch.

The hands above reminded him that an hour had passed.

'It's time to head to the docks. ’

Colin put away his pocket watch, shook his head, thought no more, got up and walked out the door.

No matter what, this is a good thing for him.

One more chapter before ten o'clock.
