The Bizarre Wizarding World-Chapter 728 - 445: Return Laden with Spoils

Dusk.

The crimson sun silently swept over the treetops of the forest, while the dense canopy appeared in varied shades of black against the backdrop of the evening sky.

Inside a treehouse in the forest.

Colin stood quietly, enjoying the magnificent view before him until night had completely fallen, then he turned and entered the house.

The impact of the Gardner incident was somewhat greater than Colin had anticipated.

Now it was the fourth evening, yet there appeared to be no sign of the Magic Towers reopening.

However, the Council had not declared the end of the Miracle Meeting, so all Wizards were quietly waiting in Pansai City.

Fortunately, it was already December, and the affairs on the Tilamei Plain were on the right track, requiring no urgent attention.

So Colin felt no irritation; it was like taking a vacation.

Buzz—

Back in the treehouse, Colin waved his hand gently, and the Bright Crystal on the wall of the library immediately cast a soft white light.

Sitting on a cushion woven from plants, Colin pulled out a light blue Knowledge Crystal.

"Thunder Light Stone, a naturally contaminated ore..."

He immersed himself in it, continuing the research on the knowledge acquired from the Graham Witch Tower.

The day after returning from the Miracle Meeting, he had begun to study a new method discovered by Graham that could resolve issues with the Thunder Light Stone, and now he had a preliminary understanding of it.

Colin had a premonition that once he had completely understood Graham’s new knowledge, he might achieve an unexpected breakthrough in his research on the Robert Explosion Skill!

Day six of the Miracle Meeting.

Colin had a basic understanding of the new knowledge researched in Graham City.

At the same time, the Magic Towers at Cloud Square were finally open again.

Although there had been a delay, the Council had not extended the duration of the Miracle Meeting, which meant that today was the second-to-last day of the event.

As early as ever, Colin hurried to Cloud Square.

The sight of the towering Magic Towers greeted him, but a cursory glance revealed something different—

The Magic Tower of Pansai City had vanished.

Colin couldn’t help but feel regret.

The knowledge related to reactive metals clearly had considerable potential, but now that the Magic Towers had been dismantled, there was no way to obtain it through the challenge of the Towers... he wondered if it was Pansai City Lord’s own doing or an order from the Supreme Council.

"Who would have thought such turmoil would arise... It’s unclear why Gardner did what he did, and now, not only is the Pansai Magic Tower gone, but we only have two days left for free exchange!"

Shaking his head, Colin quickly approached the Magic Tower set up by the Staney Family.

To the right of the entrance of the Magic Tower, a pale white light screen displayed the knowledge associated with each level of the tower.

Compared to a few towers that contained the latest knowledge, the knowledge available in the Magic Towers established by the Staney Family was clearly more extensive, offering more than ten options for each level cleared.

Alas, each Wizard was allowed only one attempt, and could only choose one piece of knowledge per level cleared.

The Staney Family’s method of classifying knowledge for each level was also straightforward and rough: First Rank knowledge for the first level, Second Rank for the second, Third Rank for the third, and Fourth Rank for the fourth.

Colin stepped into the light screen beside the door and looked carefully at the details of the knowledge available on each level.

The fourth level, which corresponded with Fourth Rank knowledge... could be disregarded for now, meaning that if all went well, he should be able to acquire three pieces of knowledge from the Staney Family’s Magic Tower.

"First Rank Tree-man Puppet modification, cultivating plant Elves..."

"Lord Colin, we meet again."

As Colin was meticulously choosing which knowledge to select after completing the Magic Tower, Andy’s familiar voice suddenly reached him.

"Are you planning to tackle our family’s Magic Tower?"

"Indeed." Colin nodded briefly and then glanced behind him.

Today, Andy was alone without Sapona by his side.

"Sapona is not with me, he probably won’t dare see me for a few days," Andy explained, noticing Colin’s gaze.

"Why?" Colin raised an eyebrow.

"A few days ago, he lost a challenge with me in the Magic Tower," Andy chuckled. "We both made it to the second level of the Graham Witch Tower, but he fled before I did."

"I see." Colin nodded but noticed Andy suddenly leaning in with a mysterious air.

"Lord Colin, which knowledge from our family has caught your eye?"

Colin turned to look at him.

Andy smiled faintly, "It’s no secret, the person who set up this Magic Tower was my grandfather."

"Even without my help, I believe Lord Colin could succeed in acquiring the desired knowledge..."

"You mean to help me, but why?"

Andy paused, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile, "No special reason, just because I want to help... Lord Colin shouldn’t feel burdened, the content of the Magic Tower’s challenges is not exactly secret, and the Family is prepared to share the knowledge within.

Therefore, the family doesn’t care about leaking the challenge details; on the contrary, we are encouraged... I guess, probably to make more friends and owe some favors."

"Of course, I didn’t come with the intention of making you owe me a favor."

Andy’s expression was calm, and his tone was sincere.
