Chapter 468 For the Wizard (5.6k)

When Mir finished speaking, all the wizards were slightly startled.

Unexpectedly, only halfway through the training, there will be an assessment, and the last one will be eliminated directly.

"The assessment will not be conducted until after today's training is over. Now let's continue the training." Mir continued, reaching out and touching the crystal to start today's training.

Colin leaned slightly against the wooden chair, his eyes flickering.

After working hard all night these days, he has read through most of the research on the power of gods in the frontline library.

The gains obtained are naturally not small, and he already has some ideas about the way forward.

It's just that after using the red light breathing method on the gold paper, there is still no symbol that can be improved.

This means that his ideas are not mature enough.

However, it will take about two days to finish reading the remaining research on the power of gods in the frontline library.

By then, his current ideas will inevitably be more complete than they are now.

It's just not yet certain whether it will be enough for him to break through the shackles he currently encounters.

After pondering for a moment, Colin gathered his thoughts and listened to Mir's lecture attentively.

If he still cannot break through by then, he must either seek the blood of the gods, or he must seek more knowledge about the power of the gods.

Therefore, this task cannot be given up easily at the moment.

Colin knew that this mission must be dangerous.

But for a third-level wizard, it is not an easy task to obtain the precious blood of gods.

If he wants to obtain enough military exploits that can be exchanged for the blood of the gods through normal war, the difficulty will definitely not be lower than performing this mission, and it will most likely require more time and energy.

As for the risk, it can only be said that the two are about the same.

It is more dangerous to charge towards the gods on the frontal battlefield and seek military exploits, or it is more dangerous to choose to participate in this mission and sneak into the back of the gods...

Due to the limitations of current information, Colin cannot accurately judge.

Therefore, his best choice is obviously to make preparations and wait for the next final assessment before making a decision.

…

Perhaps for assessment purposes, tonight's training ended half an hour earlier than usual.

Mir stood on the stage and said calmly: "I will wait for you in the next room.

Please come in from left to right in order of your seats. "

After saying that, she turned around and walked straight to the next room.

Mir didn't specify whether to face her left or the left where they were.

If it's facing her left, O'Casey is first.

And if it is to their left, then Raiden will be the first to conduct the assessment.

O'Casey hesitated.

"I'll go first. Regardless of the order, we have to conduct the assessment."

Leiden stood up suddenly, said loudly, and then strode towards the next door.

What he said does make sense, but in fact, people further back can still have more preparation time.

Although Colin also felt that this weak advantage was unnecessary, other wizards obviously did not think so.

O'Casey was visibly relieved when he saw that Raiden took the initiative to choose the first assessment.

Correspondingly, Yates became slightly nervous.

As for Jacqueline and Lance, they didn't have much expression on their faces.

Colin was even more so, but a hint of curiosity suddenly arose in his heart.

As he had thought before, whether it was training or assessment, they were actually selecting places to participate in important tasks, not to obtain any benefits.

Of course, after completing the task, they can indeed receive considerable rewards.

Mir also emphasized this to them during recent training.

But in fact, even so, most wizards would probably not choose to participate in this mission.

Colin couldn't help but be curious, why did the wizards around him want to participate in this mission?

He did not hide his doubts, paused and asked aloud:

"Suddenly I'm curious, why are you all participating in this mission?"

"Because I want to participate in this mission." Jacqueline was concentrating on studying the content of Mil's explanation tonight. After hearing Colin's question, she answered without thinking.

After a moment, she seemed to feel that her answer was too perfunctory, and she explained in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Mir told me that if this mission is successful, it can cause great harm to the gods, so I came."

Jacqueline's tone was calm, but Colin clearly heard deep hatred in it.

"My reasons are similar to those of Sir Jacqueline." Yates agreed, his eyes lowered.

Colin was silent, and Jacqueline, like Yates, had relatives and friends who lost their lives at the hands of gods.

"I was chosen." Lance scratched his head and said, "Your Excellency Mir told me that there was an important task that needed people to perform, but there were not enough people. He asked me if I was willing... I thought this would be beneficial to the wizard. , so here comes."

"Not enough manpower?" Colin was slightly startled.

"Yes, Sir Colin may not know something, but the conditions that wizards who can come here to participate in training are not low are not low.

Furthermore, there are seven islands in the seven islands in the south. I think this mission should not be carried out by just us wizards... There may be seven groups of wizards on the seven islands. "Lance said.

Colin nodded: "What you said makes sense."

Third-level wizards are already high-level wizards. Although the specific statistical number is not known, based on daily knowledge, it is obviously not many.

Among the few third-level wizards, it is not easy to find perhaps dozens of suitable candidates who can perform the task.

However, Lance's words made him suddenly realize that he had taken it for granted.

Among the wizards, although there are those who are weak and incompetent and only care about their own interests, there are also those who hate the gods and are willing to sacrifice for the wizards.

The last selected wizards, at least from now on, all belong to the latter.

Colin looked around and shook his head in his mind.

Compared with these wizards, he is actually the one who has the least awareness.

"Where is Mr. Colin? Why did you participate in this mission?" Yates suddenly asked.

Colin paused and said calmly: "I am here to obtain the blood of the gods."

He also hates the gods, also wants to destroy the gods, and also has people he wants to protect.

But those are more specific targets, not the grand concept of wizards.

After all, he was not born in this world, and he did not have the willingness to sacrifice for the wizards like those in front of him.

Yates was slightly startled. Lance reacted for a moment and then suddenly smiled,

“The reward for this mission is indeed rich. If it can be completed, it may be the best way for us third-level wizards to redeem the blood of the gods.

Any other method is either impractical, requires several times the effort, and depends on luck. "

Colin nodded in agreement.

"Where is Mr. O'Casey, why did you participate in this mission?" Lance asked again.

"...Just like your Excellency, it's all for the wizard." O'Casey said slightly nervously.

Lance nodded and smiled again: "However, although I did participate in the mission for the wizards, on the other hand, like Mr. Colin, it was also for the generous mission rewards. Due to some reasons, my school has cut off the fourth-level inherited……"

"As long as you don't betray the wizard, improving your personal strength is a good thing for the wizard to a certain extent, so it can also be said that it is for the wizard." Jacqueline suddenly said.

Colin raised his eyebrows slightly, this opinion was somewhat unique.

But think about it, the individual wizard and the wizard as a whole are a community of interests. To a certain extent, the strength of the individual is the strength of the whole, and vice versa.

"Next person."

At this time, the door of the next room suddenly opened, and Mir's gentle voice came out along with Raiden's figure walking out.

Leiden's assessment is over and it's time for the next person.

Yates's eyes flickered, and he stepped forward. When he passed by Leiden, he suddenly stopped and asked:

"The assessment went well, Sir Leiden?"

"Not bad." Raiden nodded calmly.

Yates nodded, took a deep breath, and walked into the assessment room.

Although Leiden finished the assessment, he did not go back. He needed to wait for the results here.

They were mostly silent for the rest of the day.

Lance tried to inquire about the specific details of Raiden's assessment, but the latter refused because Mir had ordered it to be kept secret.

In this way, two hours passed quickly.

Everyone accepted the assessment.

Colin felt pretty good about himself, and Mir's assessment was actually not difficult. It just required some written tests and some practical operations.

However, he still tried his best to be safe.

The bright crystal shines and soft white light fills the room.

Mir walked onto the podium and announced the final result slowly:

"The assessment has ended. I'm sorry, O'Casey, but I'm afraid you need to choose to withdraw from this mission."

It seemed that he did not intend to announce the specific ranking. After Mir said this, he said nothing more.

Under the podium, the blond witch was slightly startled, her face a little sad, but she quickly accepted the result and nodded lightly.

She stood up, took a breath, turned around and looked at the wizards and said: "I... I wish you all success in your mission, and the wizards will eventually defeat the gods!"

There was a sudden silence in the room. Just as O'Casey's face turned red, Raiden took the lead and said with a hearty smile:

"The wizard will finally defeat the god!"

For a while, echoes sounded one after another.

"Yes, wizards will eventually defeat gods." Mir also smiled on the podium.

"Tonight's training ends here. Everyone, please take the time to continue familiarizing yourself with the content you have recently learned. There are only a few days until the mission officially starts."

"As for O'Casey, I'm afraid I have to force you to stay here these days. When this mission is over, you can leave freely."

After saying that, Mir's figure quietly disappeared from the podium.

Upon seeing this, all the wizards stood up and prepared to leave.

Colin walked out of the basement, and suddenly his heart moved slightly.

‘No sound of fighting was heard. The battle started by the wizard during the day has ended? ’

After thinking for a while, he came to the castle garden alone.

Under the dark night sky is the same dark sea. The wizard's fleet has returned to the position where it was at the beginning of the day. It seems that it has never moved. The gray surface of the ship is almost integrated with the sea surface. Looking from a distance, all that can be seen is The dots of light that lit up above seemed as if the starry sky had sunk into the sea.

‘It was indeed a tentative feint. ’ Colin understood in his heart, no longer stopped, turned around and walked towards his room.

In two days, he will be able to read all the research materials on the power of gods, and then he will know whether he wants to continue participating in this mission.

If they can successfully break through, then returning to Ti Laimei Plain to farm is obviously the best choice.

If you can't...then you can only choose to move forward bravely and find a way forward!

…

The same sky is dark in the sea, but in the plain of Tiramei, it is bright with stars.

Outside Golden Harvest City, outside a warehouse where harvesters are stored.

Shelley and Lillian were suspended in mid-air.

At their feet were several wizards in black who were firmly bound by ice crystals. They quietly sneaked into the warehouse outside the city and prepared to steal the grain harvester, but they were caught.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Lilian asked coldly.

The wizard in black at his feet remained silent, just lowering his head, looking like he was ready to be slaughtered.

Lillian frowned.

"If I guess correctly, are you from the Oden Chamber of Commerce?" Shelley on the side suddenly said.

The wizards in black still remained silent, but the sudden stiffness of their bodies was enough to explain everything.

"Oden Chamber of Commerce... huh, a bunch of unscrupulous guys." Lilian snorted and suddenly said: "Don't you know that ten grain harvesters will be sold at the Golden Wheat Auction in a week's time?"

Lilian's words finally made several wizards in black who were kneeling on the ground react.

"Such a precious machine... are you willing to sell it?"

"It's just a wheat-harvesting machine, and it's not selling the land of Tiramei. Even if it is sold to you, will it have any adverse impact on the Tiramei plain?"

Lilian said, but she thought of what Colin said to them when he left.

Colin had already expected that the harvester they brought out this time would inevitably arouse the covetousness of many forces.

However, he did not intend to keep it a secret. Ichimo's precaution was actually a lose-lose situation. Anyway, as long as there was no shortage of land in Ti Laimei, there would be no change in his status as the food hegemon.

In addition, Colin does not want to be short-sighted and care about short-term benefits.

He even wanted to promote the corn harvester, those improved wheat seeds, and even all advanced agricultural technologies as soon as possible.

When all parties have harvesters and improved wheat seeds, they will inevitably start competition for their own benefit.

The final result of this kind of competition will only be the vigorous development of agricultural technology, greatly increased food production, and reduced prices.

Therefore, the people at the bottom will gradually get rid of hunger, and the population will continue to increase...

In the end, such a chain reaction will promote the development of the entire wizarding world.

And this is what Colin wants to see.

He just wants to promote the development of the entire wizarding world, increase the number of wizards, and increase new knowledge.

In a world where greatness belongs to oneself, strength is the cornerstone of everything.

Even if some insignificant short-term benefits are sacrificed, in the long run, the benefits of world progress will eventually fall on the wizards who wield powerful power.

It's like a rising tide lifts all boats. As long as he maintains his strength, the progress of the entire world will only be good for him.

Uh-huh!

After the interrogation, Shelley waved away the wizards in black, turned to Lilian and said, "I'm afraid we have to speed up the progress."

Lilian nodded, with a look of sadness on her face, "There are too many forces coveting everything in the Ti Laimei Plain... Some time ago, the textile factory produced the first batch of witch robes, and the low price made many chambers of commerce quite happy. There were complaints, and some wizards were even sent to destroy the factory. Although we caught them all, I'm afraid there will be more wizards coming back in the future."

"We can only strengthen the defense force at the textile factory, and the loom cannot be leaked for the time being." Shelley said.

According to Colin's instructions, they need to wait until the public forms... brand awareness before they can gradually release the technology in the form of auctions at high prices.

"I don't know when Colin will come back. If he is still in the Ti Laimei Plain, these forces will not dare to be so arrogant!" Lilian sighed.

"I'm afraid he won't be back in a short time." Shelley sighed, "Although he didn't tell us explicitly about his trip this time, he is probably going to further improve his strength.

And he is now a third-level peak wizard... The next step is to advance to a fourth-level wizard, which is no easy task. "

Lilian was silent. She was only a second-level wizard now, and Colin's pace was so fast that she couldn't keep up.

"I don't know why my junior is so urgent. He is obviously very strong, and his training speed is already at the peak of wizards... The front line is so dangerous, wouldn't it be good to stay in the Ti Laimei Plain for a few more years and gradually improve..."

"Time waits for no one." Shelley shook his head. "The situation in Graham City is very bad. I'm afraid there is a risk of destruction. Many wizards are already migrating to other wizard cities..."

Shelley looked at the bright starry sky, his snow-white hair swaying, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

What the Society of Truth wants to save is the people at the bottom of this world, and it wants to re-flow the solidified classes in this world... But if the world is destroyed, then there will be no difference no matter which class you are in.

"Has the situation in Graham City gotten that bad?" Lilian was startled and let out a long sigh.

"But I firmly believe that wizards will eventually defeat gods, just like they did thousands of years ago." Shelley retracted his gaze and suddenly said slowly.

"I also believe that there are still many people working hard for wizards." Lilian nodded lightly.

Condensing the complicated emotions in her heart, she said again with expectation:

"If Colin can successfully advance to the fourth-level wizard, who will dare to steal Ti Laimei's knowledge? Even if those technologies are given to them, without Colin's approval, who will dare to steal them without permission!"

"Looking forward to that day coming." Shelley smiled.

…

Two days passed quickly.

In the early morning, the sun shines brightly on Krall Island, and another battle breaks out in the distant sea.

This is probably the fifth battle that has broken out in the past few days. As time goes by, the frequency of battles between gods and wizards increases.

Inside the guest room of the castle.

Colin sat cross-legged in the center of the meditation room and slowly closed the light blue light curtain projected by the crystal in his hand from the library in front of him.

‘I have finished reading the last research material on the power of gods. ’

He breathed out a soft breath, closed his eyes without looking at the gold paper, and fell into deep thought.

Under the influence of the super brain, all the research materials on the power of gods that I have read these days clearly appear in my mind.

These knowledges intertwined and collided, bursting out countless sparks of inspiration.

In the dark, a certain thought seems to be wiped away from the dust on a slate, and the reliefs on it gradually become clear.

However, this feeling was always missing. After a moment, Colin opened his eyes regretfully and called out the gold paper.

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

Behind the red light breathing method, the word gold has become much blurred, but there is still no sign of improvement.

Colin sighed.

"Just looking at the research data on paper is not enough. The power of the gods... you still have to see it in person."

"And the blood of the gods. I only thought it could improve my strength before, but now that I think about it, it is clearly the best material for studying the power of the gods!"

"It would be nice if there were still some left..."

Buzz——

Just as Colin was secretly annoyed, the crystal on the wall of the meditation room suddenly flickered.

This means someone outside the guest room rang the doorbell.

It's still daytime...who could come at this time?

Colin stood up slowly, left the meditation room, and came to the door.

After opening the door, several familiar figures came into view, including Layden, Yates, and Jacqueline, who had just opened the door like him.

Mir was there too, and she was ringing Lance's doorbell.

After a while, Lance also came out.

"Everyone is here, let me say a few words." Mir stood in the middle of the corridor and said to them: "The time of this mission has changed. It has been temporarily changed to tonight. Please be prepared."
