Chapter 368 Missed Opportunity

Copper Rose Street, Watt Auction House.

An auction is coming to an end.

"One million and two hundred thousand magic stones once!" the white-robed auctioneer shouted loudly, "one million and two hundred thousand magic stones two or three times!"

Dang!

The auction gavel hit hard.

"Congratulations to the one who bid 1.2 million magic stones for successfully bidding on the Turbid Current Crystal."

The white-robed auctioneer continued with a smile: "The Turbid Current Crystal is the last auction item. This auction ends here. All wizards are requested to exit in an orderly manner."

Colin sighed slightly, stood up from an inconspicuous corner of the hall, and followed the crowd out of the auction hall.

‘I didn’t expect that there would be no frost treasures in this auction. ’

On average, Watt Auction House conducts two or three large auctions and seven general auctions a week.

Ordinary auctions are held every afternoon in the small hall next door, but large-scale auctions are held at different times. Generally speaking, there will be one on Sunday, and the other one or two times are for viewing auctions. Products are arranged.

Today happened to be Sunday, and it was only the morning before I left Isidore's place. So after lunch, Colin rushed to Walter Auction House, hoping to buy a frost treasure to improve his frost talent.

Unfortunately, this auction did not include the frost treasures he wanted.

Generally speaking, in order to maintain a certain sense of mystery, at most only 80% of the auction items in each auction can be known in advance before the event.

As for the remaining 20%, it will remain unknown.

Colin came here for the unknown 20%, but unfortunately, he didn't get what he wanted.

Fortunately, with the badge of the Xisheng School, I could get a 10% discount on the entrance fee, and it only cost ten magic stones, so I didn't lose anything.

After walking out of the hall, Colin did not leave, but came to a counter of the auction house for consultation.

"Is the auction list for next week's auction out?"

"Excuse me, are you talking about a large auction or an ordinary auction?" the receptionist asked with a sweet smile.

"All of them."

"Ordinary ones are only available from Monday to Friday, for you." The wizard skillfully pulled out a stack of brown leaflets from the side.

“Large auction houses now announce two auctions, one on Friday and one on Sunday.

Friday's auction announced 50% of the auction items, and the other auction announced 30% of the auction items. More will be announced in the future. "

"If you need it, you can come and get a more complete leaflet in a few days. It is usually updated every two days. The latest version will be updated one day before the auction."

Colin nodded, indicating that he understood, and took the flyer.

Walter Auction House is one of the top auction houses on Copper Rose Street, and its services are excellent in all aspects. The last time he sold the Extreme Cold Crystal was here.

And behind it is the Ishtar School. With the badge of the Xisheng School, you can get many discounts here... It's a pity that I was unlucky this time and could only return empty-handed.

Colin walked towards the outside of the auction house while checking the flyer in his hand.

After walking a few steps, he paused for a moment and looked at the second large-scale auction flyer with bright eyes.

"The Flower of Cold Thorns is a second-level frost material that grows in cold caves in the far north..."

Although I haven't heard the name of the Cold Thorn Flower, according to the explanation behind it, it is at least a frost material, and it comes from the far north... maybe it is exactly what I need.

Colin moved his eyes to the top of the flyer. This was the flyer for the second auction that announced 30% of the auction items. At the top of the flyer, the exact time of the event was marked——

"Sunday, May 7th in the Anam calendar, at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Seven days left... Colin smiled, quickly read through the rest of the leaflets, then stopped a carriage and returned home.

…

May 1st in the Anam calendar, morning.

A street corner.

Colin, wearing a gray witch robe, was hidden in the shadows, his brows furrowed.

Not far in front of the alley, two first-level wizards from the law enforcement team were guarding the entrance. Looking through their figures, more wizards from the law enforcement team could be seen coming and going in an ordinary house in the alley. Back.

Colin recognized the house, having visited numerous times over the past two months.

——This is Isido's residence.

He originally wanted to come over today to find out whether Isido successfully transformed Miracle yesterday, but what he never expected to see was such a scene.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a figure wearing a law enforcement uniform suddenly flew past in the sky above his head. Judging from his aura, he was at least the third level.

Colin was slightly shocked.

The figure landed at the entrance of the alley, and the guarding wizard respectfully greeted: "Lord Fabole."

Colin looked around and approached a slightly closer group of people.

With the keen hearing of a first-order knight, the conversation in the alley could be vaguely heard.

"Explain to me the situation here, Uriah." The voice was a little rough. This was the newly arrived wizard Fabole.

"Okay, sir." Uriah is the wizard in charge here. He organized his speech and said: "To put it simply, it was a crazy second-level wizard named Isidor who crazily attacked the neighbors living around him. .”

"A second-level wizard, living in a place like this?" Fabol was confused.

"Yes." Uriah nodded and deduced: "In the basement, we found a damaged witch array. The materials are expensive. Maybe this is the reason why he lives in such a place."

"To save magic stones, or to deceive others?"

"If I'm not mistaken, yes."

"Another idiot who blindly researches knowledge. The Parliament should formulate special research laws and bring all knowledge research activities under monitoring and control."

Fabole frowned and continued to ask as he walked towards the residence:

"Where is that crazy second-level wizard?"

Uriah paused and said, "Already dead."

"Dead?" Fabol paused for a moment, turned around and asked, "What's the reason?"

"There happened to be two second-level wizards here last night. They were attacked. In self-defense, they fought back and killed the crazy Isido."

"There are two second-level wizards here, why are they here?" Fabole curled his lips, but he was not too surprised by Isidor's death.

After all, witchcraft is short-sighted, and not all wizards are proficient in confinement witchcraft.

Uriah looked a little strange. He paused and said, "With them, there are four first-order male wizards... first-order male wizards who have undergone some special physical transformations."

Fabole's face darkened, he thought for a moment and asked: "It sounds like this is just an ordinary incident where an ordinary second-level wizard went crazy because of researching knowledge and was accidentally killed. Why apply for high-level assistance?"

When Uriah heard this question, her face became solemn:

"We found special high-energy traces in the basement. Although they have faded, they still retain the third level of strength... The energy level of the thing that left the traces has reached the third level, and, in terms of breath, it is probably not It’s a wizard.”

"Take me there." Fabol's face straightened.

"Okay, please come with me, Master Fabole..."

As Fabol and the two went deeper and deeper into the residence, the voices of conversation became smaller and smaller.

Colin in the crowd suppressed the shock in his heart, turned around and left quickly with no expression on his face.

"Isidore is actually dead! And there are traces of the third level remaining in the basement... Could it be a miracle?"

Colin was horrified by this thought.

After leaving last night, what happened in the basement of Isido's residence? It turned out to be such a situation!

And the miracle...that unique ice element, where did she go?

Colin subconsciously wanted to look around, but the next moment, he reacted, slowed down, and observed the surroundings in a more natural way.

There was nothing unusual... Colin paused and stopped a passing public carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, feeling the slight vibrations of the carriage, he suddenly burst into laughter again.

He communicated with Isido and wore hidden witchcraft tools throughout the whole process. The only person who knew his identity was the Darren Commission.

But in fact, not everyone at the Daren Commission knew his true identity. At least the wizard who received him only knew his code name, Wood Demon, and the appearance he remembered was also disguised.

Colin relaxed a little. Even if Miracle had third-level strength due to some mutations, he was still an ice element in general. He probably didn't know his true identity... He still didn't need to worry too much about being found by him. Come to your door.

If you think about it carefully, maybe your reaction is indeed a bit sensitive.

But after all, I had just visited that basement yesterday morning, and today, another second-level wizard died mysteriously - although according to the wizards of the law enforcement team, Isidore died at the hands of the other two wizards.

But this process is somewhat bizarre.

Colin took a deep breath and opened the curtain on the left side of the carriage.

Gray-black houses and people continued to pass by in his sight. The chaotic thoughts in his mind calmed down a little, and his mood became calmer.

‘Let’s go out of town tomorrow. ’

Colin opened the gold paper and thought silently as he watched the knight column reach 99/100.

If there are no accidents, after today's practice, the knight level will reach the limit.

In order to avoid making too much noise and causing unnecessary trouble when he advanced, he had to find a suitable place.

According to the original plan, he actually planned to wait until he bought the Flower of Cold Thorns in a few days to improve his frost talent, and then go find a secluded place.

But now that something like a miracle suddenly happened, it’s better to leave for a few days to avoid the limelight.

The next day.

At about ten minutes past noon, Colin had arrived at a barren mortal city.

He chose a quiet mountain forest and plunged directly into the depths of the forest. He finally settled in a large cave.

The bonfire was blazing, and a simple gray stone house appeared in the cave, complete with stone bed and table.

All this only took Colin a few minutes, and he used the same witchcraft that Shelley had mentioned to him about building walls in Gubei Village.

As Shelley once said, this is indeed a very useful witchcraft, and the conditions for use are not high. The lowest senior apprentice can use it...

Speaking of which, Shelley clearly said that he would return after the cold night was over, but now almost three months have passed...but he is still missing.

The burning wood crackled, and Colin looked at the bear's paws that were burnt by the flames, and calmed down his thoughts.

…

Neustadt City, in a study room.

Barr frowned and asked Genna who had just arrived: "Why didn't you send someone to monitor Colin yesterday?"

"Yesterday...something happened." Gena thought of the interrogation by the law enforcement team and his beautiful night that was accidentally ruined the night before, and his eyes were a little gloomy.

He paused and looked at Barr and asked, "That Jin Yu, what happened to him?"

Barr said angrily: "He suddenly left the city of Neustadt yesterday. We missed such a good opportunity!"

Gena was stunned for a moment, and his face looked a little ugly.

Over the past few months, they have been monitoring Colin almost every day, of course, mainly to monitor whether Colin has left the city of Neustadt.

In order to avoid being discovered, they did not monitor Colin himself, but sent people to guard several city gates of Neustadt City, the Teleportation Department, and the Airship Transportation Department.

The purpose of doing this is mainly to find a suitable opportunity.

After all, if you want to attack the school's Jin Yu in the city of Neustadt, it can only be said to be a toilet light.

"This time it's my problem." Ge said in a dull voice, and in his heart he hated the crazy wizard the night before.

But no matter how much he hates him, there is nothing he can do about it, everyone has been killed by him... Thinking of this, Gena felt a little irritable.

Although they did kill Isidor in self-defense, after all, a second-level wizard died, and the law enforcement team still had many troublesome procedures to deal with.

Of course, what annoyed Gena the most was being crashed into the party. Although only the wizards of the law enforcement team knew about it now, who knew whether the news would spread to the family... It really embarrassed him!

"Don't worry, that Jin Yu won't be able to jump around for a few more days." Gena calmed down his thoughts and continued to look at Barr, who still had an angry face in front of him.

Barr was stunned for a moment: "Have you heard anything?"

Gena nodded slightly and whispered: "I don't know the details, but our Hidos family seems to have given up on recruiting Colin... and your Bunir family should be the same."

"So the family plans to take action against him again?" Barr frowned.

"I'm afraid so. In the past few months, our family has tried to extend an olive branch several times, but they have all been rejected." Gener added, thinking that Colin was about to face the family's attack, and he felt a little better. A little more.

"But our purpose is to pry out from Colin where the magic stone that Joyce promised us is... Even if the family wants to continue to take action against him, what does it have to do with us?"

"This good opportunity was missed by us."

Gena's face froze, and his face suddenly turned ugly. He could only say in a low voice:

"I'll wait for another chance later."

"I hope so." Barr glanced at him disappointedly and sighed.
