Chapter 336 Volume

It was already sunset when we left Tongqiangwei Street.

The bare landscape trees on the street, the white snow on the eaves of the building roofs, and the orange sunset on the distant horizon jointly create a unique and cool atmosphere in winter.

Under the dim sky, the white mist of breathing became hazy.

The wide streets were deserted and there were few pedestrians. It was time to go home.

A gust of cold wind carried the aroma of food, making Colin subconsciously smack his lips.

A warm fireplace, a delicious dinner, a warm bath... you can enjoy these when you return home.

But he took a breath and turned around to go to the Zhenzhihui Castle.

Without him, as long as he thought of Shelley's rich woman, who was probably still in the laboratory at this moment, he was no longer in the mood to slack off and just wanted to continue working hard.

Only when you have a good roll can you become a master!

However, when he removed his disguise and returned to his normal appearance, he returned to the gate of the True Knowledge Society.

But he found a beautiful witch waiting at the door. When he saw him coming, his face lit up and he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Good evening, Sir Colin!" the wizard greeted with a smile, with a bit of resentment in his tone, "Finally I see you again. I visited your home several times and didn't even see anyone. The maid always said you were busy. …”

She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Colin, and continued to complain: "Your Excellency is really a busy man."

"Actually, I am." Colin took an inconspicuous step back and said calmly.

The wizard was startled by his straightforward words.

Colin smiled politely, and then asked: "Good evening, Your Excellency Yulea. What do you want to see me for?"

Yulea was the sorceress sent by the Hitos family to congratulate her when she officially received the Golden Feather Nameplate.

He remembered that a week or a few days later, the witch came to visit again, saying that he wanted to ask for some witchcraft knowledge.

But since getting the Golden Feather nameplate, Colin basically spent the day in the Zhenzhikai laboratory, so Yulia naturally couldn't see him at that time.

He didn't hear about it from Renee until he got home late that night.

Later, Yulea came to see Colin several times, but obviously he was not at home. Even if there was an invitation, she always told Renee to deal with it on the grounds that she was too busy.

In fact, in addition to Yulea, there were several other pure-blood family witches who came to visit him, but they all met the same fate as Yulea.

Colin never paid attention to this. After all, time is such a precious thing and of course it must be used wisely.

Uriah and other witches just want to persuade her to join a pure-blood family.

But he has already made his decision and will never change it easily.

Hesitation and repetition are the most damaging to your courage!

But he didn't expect that this time Yulea had already found Zhenzhihui here.

And by coincidence, he left the Zhenzhihui at noon that day and went to Copper Rose Street... I don't know how long Yulea waited here.

Iulaya reacted, rolled her eyes at him sweetly, and continued in a sweet voice: "Can't I come to you, a busy person, if I have nothing to do?"

"If nothing happens, yes."

Iulaya's expression froze again, the smile on her face became stiff, and she couldn't help but doubt her beauty.

But in fact, as a sorceress chosen by the Hidos family to come into contact with Colin, a genius with a golden feather, she was first-class in appearance.

Especially the curvy figure, even the loose witch robe cannot cover it up at all.

However, Colin is not a person who values ​​appearance, and for a wizard, it is easy to have a good skin.

What's more, although Uriah is beautiful, there is still a big gap between the otherworldly beauty of senior Lillian and Shelley.

"Your Excellency Yulea, if you have nothing to do with me, I will leave first. I will have some urgent matters later." Colin said politely and prepared to leave.

He hadn't had time to examine the customized witchcraft commission he just accepted today, so he didn't have time to negotiate with the witch from the Hitos family.

"Wait!" Yulea stopped him, "I am here this time to invite you to a dance."

"Dance?" Colin paused, "Sorry, I can't dance, and I don't like socializing."

"You don't have to dance at the dance, and with your strength, you can just dance at a glance." Yulea came closer again,

"Dancing is just a form, in essence it is communication. The threshold for this dance is very high. All the people here are powerful wizards, and there are even second-level seniors..."

"Sorry." Colin shook his head and interrupted her.

Iulaya looked at him seriously, paused for a moment and continued: "Sir Colin, as long as you are alive, you will always need to socialize. Meeting other wizards will only be good for you, and there will be no harm."

Colin still shook his head.

What Uriah said seemed reasonable, but she was from the Hidos family, and her purpose was by no means as simple as she said.

Even if he wants to socialize and expand his network, it will never be in the form of being led by others.

What's more, most of the time he doesn't need to spend time socializing.

Cattle and sheep are in herds, but tigers walk alone. He has the confidence!

Iulaya looked at Colin and shook his head, paused and then said without giving up: "The last few times I have visited you have come back without success. I wonder when, Colin, you will rest at home during the day?"

"I don't rest during the day." Colin shook his head.

"Are there no days off?" Yulea was a little confused.

She considers herself to be an extremely diligent wizard, but she still sets aside time for rest every day, and only does basic meditation practice one or two days a week.

Use this to relax your body and mind, relieve the mental pressure caused by exploring knowledge, and avoid being polluted and alienated.

"No." Colin said seriously.

"...Your Excellency is really hard-working." Yulea's lips moved and she murmured after a while.

Colin subconsciously glanced at the True Knowledge Castle not far away. His vision seemed to pass through the thick wall and reach outside Shelley's laboratory where the lights were still on.

"It's okay." He shook his head, feeling inexplicably anxious in his heart, and then quickly ended the chat, "That's it, Your Excellency Yulia, it's getting late, I still have to continue practicing."

Yulea nodded slightly and watched Colin's figure go away.

In the cold wind, Yulea's eyes followed Colin's back, and she waited until he entered the castle of the True Knowledge Society before finally taking it back.

"As expected of Jin Yu's genius..." She murmured in a low voice with a hint of admiration.

But soon, Yulea felt a little disappointed.

Colin's behavior obviously means that he has no interest in her...

Some worry couldn't help but creep on her face.

More than half a month has passed since the family assigned the task of contacting Colin, but he has made no progress at all.

With a sigh, Uriah walked onto the carriage waiting in the shadows.

About thirty minutes later.

Yulea came to an office and began to report the situation.

"So, there is still no progress at all?" the middle-aged wizard behind the desk repeated calmly after listening.

Yulea lowered her head and said softly: "Yes."

"It's a pity, I didn't expect Colin Leonard to join the True Knowledge Society." The middle-aged wizard sighed, with some displeasure on his face, "Don't he know that there are only a group of lunatics chasing knowledge?"

Uriah didn't speak, thinking that compared to those wizards from the True Knowledge Society, Colin seemed to be more exaggerated, spending almost every day in the laboratory.

The middle-aged wizard thought for a moment and then said:

"Ulea, there is no need to have any contact with Colin for the time being. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I will follow my instructions after the New Year."

"...Yes." Yulea was stunned for a moment and nodded reluctantly.

She was also thinking about going to the True Knowledge Society tomorrow to find Colin. She couldn't bear to give up such a high-quality male wizard.

But the orders at home were even more difficult to resist. Yulea could only sigh in her heart and left silently.

After she left, the middle-aged wizard pressed his brow, feeling a little troubled.

For pure-blood families, every Golden Feather wizard born in the school is an extremely precious resource.

Especially for a foreign Jinyu genius like Colin, absorbing it into the family is equivalent to injecting new vitality, with many benefits.

But he didn't expect that this time when it was his turn to absorb Jin Yu, not only would he be affected by Yaxi's incident, but he would also encounter a practicing madman.

Yaxi's matter is simple, as long as he pays enough benefits.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you are a practicing madman. After all, wizards who can obtain the Golden Feather Nameplate are more or less diligent in practicing, and their families have already had experience.

When he actually joins the family, there will naturally be a way for him to flourish for the family.

In fact, for a large pure-blood family like Hitos, there is no shortage of golden feather geniuses. After all, genius only represents potential.

And whether the potential can be redeemed as expected, no one can say.

Therefore, rather than getting a wizard who might be powerful in the future, what the family really wants is an injection of new blood.

A pool of stagnant water cannot last forever. The only way to survive is to maintain the infusion of living water like Colin.

Of course, in order to ensure the legitimacy of the family bloodline, wait until these "living waters" have completed their tasks of spreading branches and leaves.

They, ‘outsiders’, will naturally be reasonably marginalized.

Regardless of whether it is Jin Yu or anything else, as long as they are in the family, they have to be bound by the rules. By the time they really realize it, they have already been in the quagmire, and in the end they will not be able to make any waves.

The absorbed Jin Yu is still an outsider after all.

Of course, this is all for later. What troubles the middle-aged wizard the most right now is——

Colin didn't even have any thoughts of joining a faction.

This really troubled him.

I thought it was a temporary stubbornness, but I will naturally change my mind after I understand the current situation of the school.

But I never thought that I would have to wait for more than half a month...

The middle-aged wizard sighed, stood up slowly, and hurried outside regardless of the night.

The cold wind blew the corners of the witch's robe swaying, making his face even more grim.

Only fools who cannot see the reality clearly will imagine that they can rise from the bottom to the top step by step.

Little do they know that the names of the roads leading to the top of the mountain have long been secretly written down and assigned to them.

Colin Leonard will understand sooner or later that joining a pure-blood family is his only way out!

…

"Strengthening the energy intensity of elemental summons... This is a bit too broad."

In the True Knowledge Society laboratory, bright crystals inlaid on the ceiling illuminate the room.

At the experimental table, Colin looked at the detailed requirements for customized witchcraft, frowned and muttered.

The client's detailed request... did not go into great detail.

For example, after taking a closer look at this elemental summon, it didn't say whether it was a fire element or a wind element. It just said that the energy intensity reached the second level and that it was an elemental creature.

It seems that the intention is to include mainstream elemental summons, which means that the witchcraft created must be universal to elemental creatures.

This is a bit difficult, and it is still a second-level low-level witchcraft.

But for 250,000 magic stones... Colin took a breath and began to think carefully.

When ordinary wizards want to create witchcraft, generally speaking, the whole process is to first derive the principles and build a basic model.

This is the first and most difficult step.

The difficulty is not in inferring the principles.

After all, they are not exploring new knowledge, but creating new witchcraft.

Especially for customized witchcraft commissions like this, most of the time existing knowledge principles are used to meet the requirements.

The difference between this is like the difference between scientific research and product design.

This was precisely why Colin had not hesitated to accept this custom-made witchcraft commission.

He possesses relevant knowledge about fire element summons.

If it were a commission for other customized witchcraft, he might have to learn some relevant knowledge first, but not for this one.

So the real difficulty in creating wizardry is how to translate dry principles into actual framework models.

After getting past the most difficult beginning and having a rough structural framework, the next step is to start actual testing, and finally make specific modifications and improvements based on the actual testing conditions.

When the actual test effect and stability have reached the requirements, then the creation of witchcraft can be declared successful!

Colin exhaled, rolled up his sleeves, took out the white paper and got ready to start working.

If I had to say it, this was the first time he had tried to create witchcraft on his own.

But in fact, he was no stranger to the process of creating witchcraft.

Breaking the limits of gold paper is essentially creating new witchcraft.

When he broke the limit during his apprenticeship, he couldn't feel the process of breaking the limit at all, so he thought that the knowledge after breaking the limit appeared out of thin air.

But now that he is a first-level senior, when he breaks the limit, he can already faintly detect those scattered research fragments.

So, strictly speaking, he is already an experienced creator of witchcraft!

Although the memory of those gold paper breaking time limits is not very clear, it has actually been deeply ingrained in the bones and blood.

Colin is now holding a blank piece of paper, and inspiration and ingenuity are constantly pouring out!

He looked focused, but his heart was filled with joy.

Just relying on the current state, coupled with the solid theoretical foundation that comes from breaking the limit of gold paper.

He will definitely make a profit from these 250,000 magic stones!

Will update early tomorrow.
