Chapter 287 Inquiry

Huape Quarter, Rue Sainte-Lieux.

In the basement of Colin's residence.

Swish——

Swish, swish, swish!

Colin kept swinging his fists and feet, stirring up billowing smoke.

The soft light from the bright crystals on the surrounding gray walls formed a path of light in the diffuse billowing smoke.

The smoke is not caused by the accumulation of dust in the basement.

In fact, before Colin started practicing, the entire underground had already been cleaned by him using the golden cleaning technique without any dust.

The main reason for this scene was that the hard gray stone slabs under his feet were like loose gravel under his waving fists and feet, and every movement could scrape off some debris and powder.

Little by little, they gathered together and turned into smoke and dust that filled the entire basement.

After a while, Colin finished his practice and stood up.

The invisible force field evenly covered his body with a thin layer, accurately isolating all the smoke and dust and causing it to slide down, preventing him from becoming disgraced.

Colin exhaled softly, with a thought in his mind.

The pale golden particles gathered together, and an ancient piece of gold paper slowly appeared in front of him.

After a quick scan, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

It was already the second morning after returning to Neustadt.

Maybe it's because everything that needs to be done has been done, and the body and mind are relaxed and more focused.

As a result, the improvement speed of Yiguang Breathing Technique increased by a few points!

In just one night, the progress has improved by four points, reaching 90/100.

At this rate, Yi Guang's breathing method will be able to reach its limit in less than three days!

The effect of yesterday's meditation was not bad, it improved by three points, and the wizard level has reached 51/100, a first-level intermediate wizard.

It’s officially halfway through.

When he walked out of the basement, Renee, who was sitting in the living room on the first floor, immediately greeted him.

"Master, breakfast has been prepared, including your favorite seafood porridge and a crispy beef pizza."

"What a hearty breakfast. Have you and Demi eaten it?" Colin asked with a smile as he walked towards the dining table.

His keen sense of smell had already picked up the tangy aroma of the food, which made him pace slightly faster.

'Sure enough, the food made by Renee is food...the dry food on the battlefield is only suitable for filling the stomach. ’

"Not yet," Renee replied, shaking her head.

"It's getting late, don't wait for me next time." Colin took out his pocket watch, paused and ordered.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning. Although it seemed still early, he actually got up at 4:30.

And Renee was about the same, maybe even earlier.

So for them, having breakfast at this time is considered relatively late.

"...Okay, Master." Renee nodded.

Colin didn't say much and sat down to prepare for the meal.

After Renee sat him down, she turned and left, probably to find Demi and go to the side hall to eat together.

In fact, a long time ago, Sister Renee would stay by his side when he was eating.

Do as the Romans do, and he had no intention of changing anything.

But he really wasn't used to having someone around him all the time while eating.

So after talking a few times, Renee changed this habit.

Every time he ate, he would either wait outside the door, or go to eat next door with his sister Demi.

Colin thought while relaxing, enjoying this morning's delicious food with general pleasure.

Take a bite of pizza... Well, it's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of heat...

"Owner."

But at this moment, Renee suddenly returned to the restaurant and said to him, "There is someone outside looking for you, claiming to be from the Xisheng School."

'What does the school want to do with you...'

Colin frowned slightly, put down the spoon in his hand, stood up, and followed Renee outside.

Arriving at the small courtyard, Demi was squatting in the garden next to her, her little body completely obscured by colorful flowers of all sizes.

The elf Naxi not far away followed suit and hid behind a white flower.

Yesterday, Colin introduced Naxi to Sister Renee, and also introduced Sister Renee and his small courtyard to Naxi.

Since then, Naxi has been fascinated by the colorful flower beds in the courtyard and has been staying there.

Demi, on the other hand, is very interested in this new friend.

Unfortunately, Naxi was still wary of other people and never let Demi get close.

'However, now it seems that the two little ones are getting along well. ’ Colin glanced at the garden and smiled in his heart.

The two little ones were using the cover of flowers to look attentively at a wizard apprentice wearing the standard witch robe of the Tin Sage School standing outside the fence gate not far away.

The bodies are larger and smaller, but their movements are exactly the same, as if they are competing for something.

"Is this Sir Colin Leonard?" The apprentice finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him coming out.

Anyone who is stared at by two little things like Naxi will feel a little uncomfortable.

'Could it be that those are two living dead puppets...'

The apprentice shook his head and collected his thoughts.

He just wanted to finish the task of delivering the message quickly and leave quickly.

"I am." Colin walked towards the apprentice and asked slowly, "What's the matter?"

The apprentice organized a few words and said in a deep voice:

"Hello Lord Leonard, Lord Ocasi of Black Castle asked me to tell you:

You need to go to Blacksburg to do some registration checks... The specific reason seems to be because you have just returned from the southern seas, so the information needs to be updated. "

"I understand. When?"

"Sir O'Casey said the sooner the better."

"Um."

"Then I'll leave first, Lord Leonard."

After the apprentice finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

‘I don’t know what I will ask...’ Colin withdrew his gaze and turned back.

He was not surprised that the school called him for questioning.

After all, I am a member of the school, and while enjoying the corresponding benefits, I naturally have to accept management.

He was just hesitant to tell the truth...

"Okay Colin! Good morning!"

When passing by the garden, Naxi inside suddenly shouted something and flew to his shoulder, looking at him happily.

"Good morning, Naxi." Colin smiled and put aside his thoughts for the time being.

Never mind, we'll talk about it later.

"Good morning, Master!" Perhaps because Naxi inspired her to be competitive, Demi also greeted her.

"Good morning, Demi." Colin replied with a smile.

He looked at Demi who ran beside him, and was surprised to realize that she seemed to have grown a lot taller, almost reaching his waist.

This little girl, who was a little skinny at first, is now more like a muscular kitten with a well-proportioned body.

The originally fair and pink face seemed to be slightly darker due to frequent outdoor activities, turning into a healthy wheat color.

But it's more energetic.

'Demi seems to be quite talented in knighthood. ’ Colin couldn’t help but think, and then felt a little regretful:

'It's a pity that I was able to help it grow in the first place. Now, although Demi has the power of a high-level knight, it's difficult for her to go any further. ’

'Hmm... Speaking of which, when I first learned the Blood Pattern Transformation Technique, another purpose was to see if it could help improve my life-strengthening talent after breaking the limit.

It’s just that I have been distracted by other things and have put it aside for a long time...'

…

Around ten o'clock in the morning.

Colin came to the Black Castle deep in the Tin Sage School.

The last time he came here was also the first time he came here... when he successfully advanced to a first-level wizard.

After asking the wizard on duty in the hall, he came to an office in the middle of the second floor.

"Colin Leonard?"

The wizard sitting at the desk glanced up at Colin and asked, and then looked down at the crystal in his hand intently.

"Yes." Colin nodded.

The sorceress in front of her had a beautiful appearance and wore a rare pair of narrow and huge brown-rimmed glasses, which made her look a bit old-fashioned.

'There are no signs of elements, no traces of mechanical transformation, and the body is weak...it should be just like myself, just a first-level wizard. ’

Colin secretly thought.

"Stand aside and wait for me." Ocasie casually ordered.

After another while, Ocasie finally put down the crystal in her hand, looked at Colin with a scrutinizing gaze, and said slowly:

"You just came back from the sea?"

"Yes." Colin nodded again, with a calm expression.

"Take out the school badge, put it on top, and then put your hand on the other side."

Ocasi picked up a scale-like device from the side, pointed to both ends of the extended base below and said.

Colin did as he was told.

After a while, after checking that the two sides above were level and not offset, Ocasi raised his head and his expression became serious.

"You are indeed Colin Leonard."

"So, can you tell me where you escaped during the battle on Gupil Island?"
