MTL - Weird Wizarding World-Chapter 342 Far North

  Chapter 342 The Land of the Extreme North

   Shua.

  White light flashed on the silver teleportation array, and dozens of wizard figures suddenly appeared.

  ‘The city of Kararli has arrived. ’ Colin stepped down from the teleportation array, walked out of the teleportation office, and exhaled lightly. A white mist formed and was clearly visible in the air.

  Turning his head to look left and right, all he could see was a vast expanse of whiteness.

  Thick snow covers the streets, and the undulating roofs are all white.

  People on the streets are all wrapped in heavy coats, wearing various cotton hats and gloves, with almost no skin exposed.

   Many of them wore special snow boots with wide soles to prevent themselves from getting stuck in the snow and to increase their walking speed.

  It's much colder here than in Neustadt.

   This city named Karalli, like the city of Neustadt, is also a city of wizards located in the center of the kingdom, but it does not belong to the city of nine wizards.

  The geographical location is far north of the city of Neustadt, and the overall area is much smaller, only about one-twentieth of the city of Neustadt.

   And here is also Colin's first transit point on this trip.

   "Go to Gubei Village to eliminate the incoming Tier 1 ice and snow monsters."

   The Gubei Village mentioned in the mandatory missions of the school is almost located at the northernmost end of the Siya Continent, and can be said to be the northernmost village in the Siya Continent.

   From the city of Neustadt, the journey is not too far away.

   Fortunately, there is a teleportation array, which saves a lot of effort.

  In fact, it is only a few minutes before Colin leaves Neustadt, but in terms of distance, he has already traveled a full two-thirds of the distance.

  However, going forward, it is not so easy and pleasant.

   It will take at least half a day to get from Gubei Village to Gubei Village.

   If Gubei Village is the northernmost inhabited place on the Siya continent, then Karalli City is the northernmost wizard city.

  Further ahead, there are only some small-scale wizard gathering places, usually three or two schools that rely on the existence of the kingdom.

  Those places cannot support the existence of teleportation arrays.

  So for the next road, Colin needs to find a way to go by himself.

  Due to the harsh climate, there is no fixed means of transportation such as airships further north here, only some caravans will go back and forth from time to time.

  If it is an ordinary wizard apprentice, I am afraid that they can only wait for the caravan to act together.

  But for Colin, who is a second-tier wizard, naturally he doesn't need to be so troublesome.

  He found the road sign on the street, and after a little identification of the direction, he walked towards the North City Gate without stopping, intending to fly directly to Gubei Village in one breath.

  The required arrival time for the school mission is two days, that is to say, you must arrive at Gubei Village by tomorrow at the latest, otherwise the mission will be considered a failure.

   Such a requirement is not harsh. After all, with the speed of a normal first-order wizard, he could arrive at Gubei Village this evening, let alone Colin, who is a second-order wizard.

   It stands to reason that Colin doesn't need to be in such a hurry, he can take a stroll around Karalli City.

   But there are long nights and many dreams. After all, this mission is a long way away. He doesn't plan to delay it. It's better to arrive early.

  Be aware that if the mission fails, in addition to deducting school contribution points, he will have to complete two mandatory missions as compensation.

  However, if it is successful, you can also get two hundred school contribution points and a reward of eight thousand magic stones.

  Eight thousand magic stones is just an extra for Colin now, but two hundred contribution points is not a small amount for a task with the difficulty of a first-level wizard.

  Although it is not worth mentioning compared to the contribution points required by the third-order meditation method, at least it is not a white job.

  Walking along the way, Colin also put on a black cotton cap that surrounded him like a pedestrian on the road, and then wrapped his cheeks with a scarf, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.

  Although he was a bit more at ease after listening to Atbold's teacher's words, he still had to be cautious.

  There is a strange atmosphere inside and outside this mandatory mission, and Colin is a little worried that the pure-blood family will still stumble secretly.

  Walking all the way, he soon came to the north gate of Karalli.

  The black city gate made of fine iron is tall and magnificent, but it is tightly closed, as is the smaller side gate next to it.

   There are four guards in special blue armor standing guard at the gate.

  Colin sank slightly in his heart, pondered for a moment, and was about to step forward to ask about the situation.

   "Are you going out of the city?" The leading guard greeted him and asked politely.

  Colin in front of him was alone, walking vigorously, besides, only wizards could go out of the city alone in this cold season, and the guards dared not be disrespectful.

   "Yes." Colin nodded slightly.

   "Okay, please show your pass, and we will open the city gate for you." The guard continued respectfully,

  Colin relaxed slightly, and reached out to take out the badge of the school.

  The badge of the wizarding school that ranks at the top of the nine wizarding cities can be used as a pass for almost all wizarding cities in the Siya continent.

  The Xisheng School is naturally one of them.

  But at this moment, Colin suddenly frowned and turned his head to look behind him.

   In sight, there are only gray houses covered with snow and a few ordinary pedestrians wearing coats.

   "What's the matter, my lord?" the guard asked hastily.

   "Nothing..." Colin slowly looked away, shook his head and handed the badge to the guard.

  After checking the badge quickly, the guard quickly called his companions to open the side door next to him, and Colin walked out calmly.

  In the shadows behind a house.

"Let's go, keep up with the target, and we've been guarding for several days." Barr said to his companion Gener next to him, "Create some trouble for this golden feather and make him fail the mission, so hurry back to Neustadt. This Karalli city is really meaningless."

   "Yes." Gener nodded, ready to walk forward.

   "I don't know what Jin Yu thinks... I don't plan to join the faction."

   "I heard that he has a relationship with Castle Black?" Gener suddenly asked curiously.

   "Who knows, anyway, our family ordered me to deal with it as usual, as before, don't worry about it too much, isn't your Hidos family also requesting the same?"

  Barr said indifferently, he just wanted to finish the task quickly and then go back to Neustadt.

   "It's also...you have to make this young Jin Yu suffer a little, so that he knows what the right way is." Gener nodded without thinking about it.

   After all, the unspoken rules in the school have always been like this. This is something everyone has agreed upon, without exception.

   "Not necessarily, if he is unwilling to join, then there is nothing he can do.

   After all, it is Jin Yu, and the family will try this kind of method a few times at most. "

  Bar shook his head, but he didn't think it would be so, "It's not like this kind of thing has happened before."

   "It's none of our business." Gener shook his head and walked forward intently.

   However, the next second, the two stopped together.

   "Joyce, why are you here?" Gener raised his head and stared suspiciously at the wizard who suddenly appeared in front of him.

   "...Is this also a member of your Sidos family?" Barr glanced at Joyce, who was standing in front of him, with some doubts, and then urged:

   "Garner, we are on a mission, and there is no extra time to catch up on the old days."

  Gerner nodded, and continued to walk forward, while facing Joyce in front of him, he said, "Sorry, Joyce, we're in a hurry, so we'll talk about it next time."

  But the next moment, Joyce reached out and stopped them.

   "Gurner, what is my relationship with you?" He asked in a slow voice with no expression on his face.

   "...Of course we are friends." Gnammer paused, and said with a polite smile, somewhat puzzled.

   "Then you stay here, do nothing, and treat it as a failure to intercept Colin."

   "What do you mean, Your Excellency?" The smile on Balk's face gradually disappeared, and he asked in a cold voice.

   Gener also slowly frowned, but he didn't wonder why Joyce knew the content of the mission of the two of them.

   After all, Joyce is also a second-tier wizard, and he still has connections in the family. It is easy to inquire.

   It's just that although he and Joyce belong to the same family, the relationship can only be said to be acquaintance at best, and what they said just now was just a polite way.

  Why is Joyce so rude?

  Thinking of this, Gener's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered one thing—not long ago, that Jin Yu seemed to have killed a second-rank idiot in the family with a first-rank body...

  In fact, this is also the reason why they sent two of their second-tier wizards to intercept Colin this time.

   If I remember correctly, that idiot's name is Axi, and Joyce in front of him seems to be his uncle?

  Gener had a vague guess in his heart, but felt that it was unlikely, that was a golden feather.

  So he was silent for a moment, and said patiently:

   "Joyce, if I fail to stop Colin this time and make his mission fail, the family will deduct my resources for two months."

   "The Harold family friend beside me is probably the same... I don't think our relationship has reached this point yet.

   Besides, even if I am willing to sell you this favor, what about my friends around me? "

  Joyce remained silent and did not answer, but only motioned Gener to step forward.

  Gener approached in doubt, and Joyce whispered in his ear.

  The eyes of the latter kept flickering with Joyce's words, and his face changed again and again...Shocked, hesitant, and greedy.

  …

  Karalli, outside the north city gate.

  The snow is vast.

   Few people go out for activities in bad weather. Looking around, all you can see is an empty snow field.

  Snowflakes are falling quietly, making it even more desolate.

   Just like that, about two hours passed.

  A snow field suddenly distorted, revealing the figure of a wizard.

  Colin raised his head, frowning as he looked at the tall and majestic north gate of Karalli City not far away.

  The black city gate has been tightly closed since he came out, and has never been opened again.

   Which means, there is no one coming out again.

  But the gaze I felt in the city at that time... definitely can't be an illusion.

  Colin was silent for a moment, silently raised his vigilance in his heart, covered his figure again, and urged the witchcraft to fly forward.

  I still have a mission, if I can't arrive at the mission location on time, it will be considered a mission failure.

  The rest of the journey went very smoothly without any accidents.

   Along the way, many kingdoms and wizard gathering places were passed, but Colin didn't stop there. Instead, avoid them far away, bypass them and go straight to the destination.

  Finally, at around four o'clock in the afternoon, Colin arrived at the Gubei Camp.

  Here is the reporting location given in the mission of the school.

  The camp was built on a low snow-covered hill. The power of witchcraft hollowed out the entire interior of the hill, and inside was the place where wizards garrisoned.

  In front of the small black iron gate, a senior wizard apprentice came out to receive him.

  The male apprentice was about thirty years old, with some wrinkles around his eyes, a thick black cotton cap on his head, some brown hair exposed at the sideburns, and a silent and dull face.

   It looks like a middle-aged man who is not good at words.

  Colin sized him up, his eyes suddenly paused on the man's chest, he looked at the familiar badge of the school and asked in surprise:

   "Are you also a member of the Tin Saint School?"

  ‘Yes, my lord, you can call me Dempsey. ’ Dempsey nodded, his voice was a little difficult, as if he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time.

  He paused, and then explained: "I have accepted the mission of the school and will be stationed here for half a year."

   "My name is Colin." Colin responded.

  He was a little surprised, paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked: "Why does the school still have a stronghold here?"

  When he first arrived, he was a little surprised to see such a wizard stronghold here.

  Because in the last hour of the almost six-hour flight, the concentration of magic energy in the surrounding environment dropped to a level that could be called thin.

  It is a bit difficult for an apprentice to practice here, let alone a formal wizard like him. If he wants to practice, he must use magic stones to assist him.

   Once the magic power in the body is exhausted, it will take at least half a day to recover it just by absorbing the magic power in the environment.

   When it was about the last half hour of the journey, there were no traces of people in sight, let alone wizards.

  Colin suddenly became curious about this place.

  The task details given to him by the school did not mention these at all, and even the description of the ice and snow monster was very vague, only knowing that it was at most a first-order strength.

   "To be precise, this is not the school's stronghold, Mr. Colin." Dempsey shook his head when he heard Colin's inquiry.

  Colin was slightly taken aback.

   Demps went on to explain:

   "In fact, this place belongs to the joint management of the Nine Universities in Neustadt City, but due to the remote location and the harsh environment, the members of the Nine Universities are basically unwilling to come here."

  So most of the tasks on duty are subcontracted to affiliated schools like our Xisheng School, and members of our affiliated schools are also on duty on weekdays. "

  Colin nodded slightly, but still had some doubts in his stomach.

  But he paused, but did not ask in a hurry, but said: "Take me in and report to the school first."

  Reporting is important...it's not too late to talk about other things after the report.

   "Okay, Mr. Colin."

   Dempsey respectfully led him into the cave camp in the hills.
