The Bizarre Wizarding World

Chapter 558 - 558: 367

"To save Magic Stones, or to avoid detection?"

"If I'm not mistaken, yes."

"Another fool blindly re

To avoid making too much noise during the advancement, which could attract unnecessary trouble, he needed to find a suitable place.

Originally, according to the plan, he actually intended to wait a few days until he had bought the Coldthorn Flower to enhance his Frost Talent before seeking a secluded place.

But now, with the sudden appearance of a miracle, it was better to temporarily leave for a few days to avoid attention.

The next day.

Around noon, Colin had already arrived at a desolate mortal city.

He chose a quiet mountain forest, delved deep into the dense woods, and eventually settled down in a spacious cave.

A roaring bonfire was lit, and inside the cave, a simple gray stone house had been constructed, complete with stone beds and tables, everything included.

All of this only took Colin a few minutes, using the Witchcraft that Shelley had mentioned to him back in Ancient North Village, the Wall Building Skill.

As Shelley had said, this was indeed a very useful piece of Witchcraft, and it didn't require high conditions to use, even Advanced Apprentices could use it...

Speaking of which, Shelley had clearly said she would return after the chilly nights ended, but now nearly three months had passed... and yet there was still no sign of her.

The burning firewood crackled, and Colin, looking at the bear paw in his hands that was roasted shiny by the flames, gathered his thoughts.

...

In Neustadt City, within a study.

Bale was frowning, questioning the recently arrived Gerna, "Why didn't you send someone to surveil Colin yesterday?"

"Yesterday... something happened." Gerna, remembering the interrogation by the Law Enforcement Team and reflecting on the beautiful night that was spoiled the day before last, also had a gloomy look in his eyes.

He paused, then looked at Bale and asked, "What about that Golden Feather? What happened to him?"

Bale said irritably, "He suddenly left Neustadt City yesterday, and we missed such a great opportunity!"

Gerna was stunned, and his face also turned grim.

For the past few months, they had been watching Colin almost every day—mainly to see if he left Neustadt City.

To avoid being discovered, they didn't surveil Colin directly, but instead stationed people at several city gates and locations like the Transmission General Bureau and Airship Traffic Bureau.

The purpose of this was mainly to find a suitable opportunity.

After all, trying to attack a member of the School like Golden Feather in Neustadt City could only be described as a fool's errand.

"It's my fault this time," Gerna said gloomily, inwardly cursing the crazy Wizard from the night before.

But no matter how much he hated, there was nothing he could do, as he had already killed the man... Thinking about this, Gerna grew even more irritated.

Indeed, they had killed Isidore in self-defense, but a Second Rank Wizard had died, and the Law Enforcement Team had many troublesome procedures to handle.

Of course, what irritated Gerna the most was the disrupted gathering; although only the wizards from the Law Enforcement Team knew now, who's to say the news wouldn't spread to the Family... It was truly embarrassing!

"Don't worry, that Golden Feather won't be hopping around for much longer," Gerna gathered his thoughts and continued to the still angry Bale.

Bale was taken aback, "Did you hear some news?"

Gerna nodded slightly, saying in a low voice, "I'm not too clear on the specifics, but our Hidosh Family seems to have given up on recruiting Colin... Your Bunier Family should be the same."

"So does the Family plan to take action against him again?" Bale furrowed his brows.

"I'm afraid so, these past few months, our family has again tried extending the olive branch several times, but was rejected every time," Gerna added, thinking of Colin soon facing the Family's hostility, his mood slightly improved.

"But our goal is to pry out the location of the Magic Stone that Joyce promised us... Even if the Family continues to act against him, what does it have to do with us?"

"This good opportunity was still missed by us,"

Gerna's expression froze, his face immediately turned ugly, and he could only say gloomily:

"We will wait for another opportunity later."

"Let's hope," Bale looked at him disappointedly and sighed.
