Weird Wizarding World - Chapter 174

   Chapter 174 Leeteuk Street

   “Any other questions?” Atbold continued to ask, watching him.

   I don’t know if it’s because it’s almost noon, or because I’m too tired to answer the question.

   Colin always felt that Atbold’s tone of speech became more slow, and there seemed to be a trace of exhaustion on the old face that was like tree bark and covered with ravines.

   “No more, Master Atbold.”

   Colin bowed his head slightly, and after thinking for a while, answered.

“Um.”

   On the reclining chair, Atbold made a faint syllable from his nasal cavity, then closed his eyes and leaned back, while continuing:

   “If you have any other questions, you can continue to come to me in the morning.”

   “Now, if there is nothing else, just leave first.”

   His tone was calm, but he did not hide his urging.

   “Okay, Master Alterbold!”

   Colin froze in his heart, and quickly said goodbye to Atbold, “Then I’ll go first.”

   Before turning around, he raised his head slightly and glanced at the wooden wall clock on the wall next to him.

   On the round dial, the slender hands just point to 11 o’clock.

  ’It’s just 11 o’clock…there’s still an hour before 12 noon.

   It’s not too early, but it’s not too late either. ’

   Colin frowned slightly in his heart, a little puzzled.

   I don’t know if he is too sensitive, but he always feels that Atbold seems to be urging him to leave…

   Walking out of the study, he subconsciously looked back again.

   Taking advantage of the time the study door was closed, he saw Atbold slowly stand up from the reclining chair through the gap in the door, and walked towards the huge force field window in front.

  The golden sunlight came in from the floor-to-ceiling windows and fell on his tall body, imprinting a dark shadow on the ground, extending all the way to the door.

  As Atbold approached, the green trees by the window began to sway without wind, making a rustling sound.

It was also at this time that Colin suddenly discovered that the window of the study where Atbold often stayed, facing the back of the villa, was the tall ancient tree with almost ten people around it. .

   It was only because of the dense foliage on weekdays that he never noticed it… Until this time the green tree swayed, revealing a little gap, and the ancient tree was exposed to the sight…

   ‘Nado’s main body…’ Colin suddenly thought of the last time Lillian took him to the ancient tree for a brief introduction…

   pat.

   Although there are many thoughts in my heart, the reality has only passed for a moment.

   At this moment, the study door slammed shut completely, blocking Colin’s sight and any sound.

   stood at the door for a moment, Colin gathered his mixed thoughts and walked downstairs.

   Walking on the open gray stone road of the school, the apprentices around him come and go, and their footsteps are as hurried as him.

   Occasionally, a carriage can be seen passing by, and the people pulling the carriage are usually horses mixed with the blood of demon beasts.

   Under the influence of their blood, they often show distinctive features, rugged curved horns, ferocious teeth, and some even have a few more tails.

   These are the carriages of official wizards… In the Xisheng School, only official wizards can ride in the carriage, and the rest of the apprentices can only walk.

  Thinking of this, Colin paused slightly.

   ‘Speaking of which, Lilian-senpai, it seems that she has never seen her own carriage…’ He had some doubts in his heart,

   “It stands to reason that as a first-order wizard, Lillian should be able to afford a carriage… I don’t know why I always choose to ride a public carriage.”

  Colin felt a little embarrassed in his heart. Speaking of which, he still hadn’t returned the magic stone he borrowed from Lillian.

   ‘Should we temporarily put the advanced stage aside, make the potion first, and return the magic stone owed to Lilian first? ’ Colin hesitated in his heart, his footsteps gradually stopped, and he stood in place.

   But after a moment, he shook his head again.

  ‘Don’t worry about having a lot of debts, it’s been more than four months anyway, it’s okay to wait a few more months. ’

  ‘After all, once you have advanced to a formal wizard, the number of potions made will obviously increase accordingly… No, once you have advanced to an official wizard, perhaps a few thousand magic stones, it will no longer be a problem. ’

  Thinking like this, Colin persuaded himself and continued to walk outside the school.

  ’Let’s talk to Lilian next time you see her…’

   Get out of the school and stop a stagecoach.

  Poof.

  The tall, stocky horses were snorting.

   “Sir, where are you going?” The groom took off his gray wide-brimmed hat and asked respectfully.

   “St. Rieux Street.” Colin replied lightly.

   “Okay, sit tight.”

  Tap Tapping——

  The horses galloped all the way.

   After a while, Colin frowned slightly in the carriage.

   He stretched out his hand to lift the car curtain and glanced outside, but the street outside was not the one he was familiar with to go to his residence…

   “Stop.”

   But he didn’t panic, just said something lightly.

  The groom is just an ordinary knight… If I read it correctly, he is probably a high-level knight. As a high-level wizard apprentice, he naturally does not need to be afraid.

   In addition, the shining Feather Badge of the Tin Saint School on his chest also allows him to not be too intimidated in this city…

   Of course, caution is still necessary, he has blessed himself with a steel temperature resistance field.

   “Wow—!”

   The driver in front of him heard the words and quickly tightened the reins.

   The horse who was pulling the cart raised his front legs high and stopped quickly.

   “What’s the matter, my lord?”

  The driver’s voice came from the front.

   “Why go the long way?” Colin asked lightly.

   “Sir, don’t you know?” The carriage driver’s somewhat surprised voice continued, “The nearest road from Xisheng Street to Lieutenant Street – Lite Street, the law enforcement team has been blocked this morning.”

   “Banned?!”

   “Yes, the whole street is blocked,” added the groom.

   Colin was stunned, it was a little after eleven in the morning, and he was going to the school from his home on St. Lieux Street at seven in the morning.

   It was normal to pass through Leeteuk Street at that time… No!

  Colin shook his head. Looking back now, the streets of Leeds seem to be less crowded than when it was seven o’clock on weekdays…

  This may just be an illusion…

   However, up to now, the period has only been four hours… I didn’t expect that in this short period of time, the entire street of Litetsu Street has been closed?

   “Sir?” The groom’s tentative voice came.

   “Go on.” Colin ordered, paused and asked again, “Do you know why Leeds Street was closed?”

   “I don’t know…” The groom said vaguely while waving his whip.

   Colin frowned…Isn’t it clear?

“grown ups–“

   But after a while, the voice of the coachman came from the front again:

   “I don’t know exactly what happened, but I heard from a friend who also drives a stagecoach—

   After the blockade this morning, it didn’t take long for several large carts to transport slaves from the streets of Leeds on weekdays… I don’t know what was inside. “

  ‘Slave carts…? ’

  Leeter Street is only one street away from Lieutenant Street where he lives… This made Colin’s heart inexplicably a little uneasy.

   “Divert to Lex Street next to Tin Saint Street.”

   After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and instructed the driver in front of him.
