Chapter 292 Dark Shadow

At this time, Colin's small courtyard no longer had the lush scene that he saw when he came in the morning.

The plants seemed to have been drained of their vitality, and some had even begun to wither and wither.

Looking around, the small courtyard is full of depressing scenery.

Looking at the white western-style building in the middle, all the doors and windows were tightly closed, it was quiet and there was no movement at all.

Cold sweat broke out from Oliver's black forehead.

Only then did he realize that he had overlooked a very important point——

Although Colin said that it was because he had not planned to go out to complete the school's mission, he temporarily left the city of Neustadt.

But in fact, he does not need to accept the mission at all, he only needs to report to the school, or he can leave temporarily.

Oliver wiped the sweat from his brow.

It's not that I'm worried about what will happen to Colin... After all, Colin just wants to preserve his reputation.

What he was worried about was that he had not completed the task ordered by Master Aki.

Gritting his teeth, Oliver walked quickly downstairs.

Although he was scared inside, he was not stupid.

Such news must be fed back to Master Yaxi as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be more serious.

…

"Demi, come here."

Meredith City, on the bustling streets.

Renee greeted her sister in a low voice.

Demi nodded vigorously and grabbed Renee's hand.

"Don't be nervous, you have all been here before." Colin said with relief.

After talking to Marjorie, he tried to use the Fountain of the Ancient Tree to help her recover her limbs, but the effect was not as good as he imagined.

Marjorie's injuries were not just simple flesh and blood injuries.

However, the Ancient Tree Fountain still helped him recover from many hidden injuries and illnesses, at least it was not in vain.

Then, he left some magic stones for Marjorie, went to find Atbald, and told him that he would leave for a while.

The reason was to visit friends in Meredith City.

Atbald had no objection to his departure, but stubbornly refused to accept his move to keep the Ancient Tree Fountain.

"I will stay here. No matter where I encounter any danger, even Axi Hidos would not dare to come here at this time!"

Colin couldn't resist him, so he had to leave temporarily, but he quietly left the Ancient Tree Spring necklace at the door of the villa.

The mentor's Nado will pass the necklace on for him.

After doing this, he returned home, quickly packed his luggage, took Sister Renee, Naxi, and even Nado in the courtyard, and took the teleportation array to Meredith City.

When he left, he was in a generally peaceful mood with some expectation.

Atbold's words also made the last trace of worry dissipate in his heart.

This time he left, he planned to wait until the Yiguang Breathing Technique broke the limit, advance to the first-level advanced wizard, and then return to Neustadt City to obtain the relevant knowledge to advance to the second-level wizard.

According to the current progress, this goal should be achieved in half a month at the earliest and one month at the latest.

Although January is not a long time, it is not short either.

The only thing he worries about is that during this period, the Hidos family will attack his mentor again.

But now it seems that the probability is unlikely.

After all, it has been more than two months since Atbold was injured, and Aki Hidos did not make any more moves, just waiting silently.

It's just... I didn't expect that after a few days, I would come to Meredith City again.

Colin looked at the surrounding scene and sighed in his heart.

But in fact, he had no intention of staying here.

His destination was a small, remote country outside Meredith City... Well, I should say Farbados, a small and remote country outside the Kingdom of Meredith.

The distance there wouldn't be too far, and although the concentration of magic energy wouldn't be as high as that of the Wizard City, at least he would no longer need to spend a large amount of extra magic stones to ensure cultivation.

It is very suitable as a temporary place to stay.

"arrive."

Colin stopped at a tall gray arch.

This is the Airship Transportation Department in the center of Meredith City. There are transportation hubs like this in the four directions of the city, southeast and northwest.

He did not hesitate and walked in with Renee and others.

As for Ariel and others living in Meredith City, he had no intention of visiting them this time.

There will be plenty of time to reminisce about the past in the future, so now it is better to rush to the Kingdom of Fabados as soon as possible.

Two or three hours later.

The border city of the Kingdom of Meredith—Sadi.

A small gray-blue airship landed slowly.

Then, Colin and his party, who had disguised themselves, quietly left the city before night fell.

Finally, just as the last embers of the setting sun extinguished in the evening, we arrived at the Kingdom of Fabados.

at the same time.

In the city of Neustadt.

Ash stood by the window with his back to Oliver, watching the sunset quietly.

The night wind blew up his green hair, like green plants spreading and climbing on the white wall.

"You mean, he took the teleportation array to Meredith City?"

After a long time, night fell and the dim sky turned into opaque darkness before Aki spoke softly.

"Yes, Aki-sama."

Oliver fell to his knees, with bright red scars on his exposed neck. He took a breath and answered tremblingly.

"Meredith City..." Aki muttered, his tone meaningless.

He turned around and said calmly: "Don't worry about him anymore for the time being."

"Yes." Oliver nodded, stood up and slowly retreated.

His footsteps gradually faded away, and silence returned to the study.

Aki stood quietly by the window, half of his body disappearing into the darkness.

After a while.

The dark shadows on the carpet in the study room converged toward the middle like running water, and then slowly formed a thin figure.

This figure was completely shrouded in gray-black mist. His appearance was unclear, and there was no sound... He couldn't even detect the sound of his heartbeat.

"How's it going over there at Atbold?"

Aki on the side was not surprised at all, and asked slowly with his back to it.

The black shadow didn't speak...or rather, it couldn't make a sound at all.

However, the gray-black mist all around it vibrated regularly, accurately transmitting information to Aki.

Axi nodded slowly, holding on to the bottom frame of the wooden window next to him and sighing in a low voice:

"Where did that old guy hide it..."

He looked at the bright moon rising gradually outside the window, and felt irritable in his heart...

‘Too long has passed and we can’t wait any longer…

Otherwise, when Atbold dies, everything will be buried with him and all the previous achievements will be wasted. ’

Axi thought silently and made a decision in his heart.

He turned around, looked at the black shadow, and ordered in a cold voice:

"Continue to monitor. If there is any abnormality in Atbold, please report it to me as soon as possible!"
