Weird Wizarding World Chapter 147

   Chapter 147 Talent

   "You mean... Queen Polly and Prince Gallagher are both dead?"

   Colin repeated in surprise as he watched the tall knight with a pale face.

  Burns has no words, even if Queen Polly is self-inflicted, but as the guardian knight of the royal family, this is also his fault.

   "Go back first." Colin sighed.

  I didn't expect such a thing to happen…

   "Yes." Burns replied in a low voice, jumping on one leg next to the two bodies of Polly, and carrying the bodies one by one with each hand.

   Maybe it's because standing on one leg, this simple action, for him now, almost made him fall.

   "Your foot... hurt?" Colin said.

   "Yeah." Burns nodded silently.

   Colin pondered for a moment, and the cohesion field grabbed the two bodies of Polly from Burns' shoulders.

   He looked around at the deep, dark jungle and continued:

   "Come on, I'll fly you back."

   Without waiting for Burns to respond, he grabbed his shoulders, rose from the ground, and flew towards the cave.

   Although the beast-faced wizard was resolved, he didn't know whether there was any danger around.

   And Dreiser and the others are staying alone in the cave... or bring Burns back as soon as possible to join them in order to avoid any further accidents.

  The wind whistled, and Burns endured the pain. Blood oozes from the wound on his calf, which was then blown away by the cold wind, and quickly condensed into droplets of blood in the air.

   Colin frowned slightly and slowed down a little when he saw this.

  'After all...if Burns' left leg is lost, he will have to devote energy to take care of him in the rest of the journey. '

  'Unfortunately, my own means are still too few. Now that I think about it, I have not mastered any healing witchcraft... Resources, especially knowledge resources, are still too lacking. '

   While thinking, they quickly returned to the cave.

   Maybe a fire has risen in the cave, and as soon as you walk in, you can clearly feel the temperature difference from the outside.

   The edge of the ice on the edge of the hole also seems to have softened a bit.

   After a short while, the dark and cold walls of the cave gradually lit up, and the orange fire flickered.

   "Colin..." Dreiser was about to greet him, but when he saw the scene in front of him, his pupils shrank, and it was as if his brain had been hit by a sledgehammer, and he felt dizzy.

   On the other hand, Ariel's expression was calm, like an ancient well without waves.

   Colin slowly put down the corpses of Polly and the two, and said calmly:

   "Let Burns explain the specifics."

   After he finished speaking, he paused and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you have ten minutes to deal with all this."

   "After ten minutes, in order to avoid possible new troubles, we will continue to set off and leave here as soon as possible."

  Dreiser finally came to his senses, nodded silently, took a deep breath, and began to question Burns.

   And Colin turned and walked to the other side, leaving room for him.

   "Burns, tell me what all this is about."

   "Tell me why Polly and Gallagher are dead but you are alive!"

   Dreiser's voice rose gradually behind him, and his tone was filled with uncontrollable anger.

   As a guardian knight, no matter what the situation, no matter what kind of crisis he encounters, he should die before Polly and the other two!

   In such a situation that the master dies and the guardian knight is still alive, he will have to see how Burns explains it to him!

   "Your Majesty, it's Burns who is incompetent..." Burns knelt down and bowed his head in silence.

   In the place where Dreiser couldn't see, there was a flash of determination in his eyes.

  'Everything is for the Holy Flame Royal Family! '

  'Sorcerer Colin is right next to him... Queen Polly's actions cannot be made known to him... Otherwise, if he angers the Holy Flame Royal Family because of this...'

   "You!" Dreiser was furious...

  Colin shook his head, silently blocked their conversation, sat cross-legged by the fire, and began to study the newly obtained crown ornament.

Taking out the crown ornament, looking at the delicate style and the interweaving of gold and silver, he suddenly moved in his heart, and took out the token of the Xisheng School that Dreiser had previously given him—the delicate feather badge that was also interwoven with gold and silver. .

  Put the two in hand, no matter in terms of workmanship, style, and color, the two are obviously inseparable.

   In other words, this crown ornament is also a thing of the tin saint school.

   After pondering for a moment, Colin began to use his spiritual power and magic power to test as usual.

   Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

  Colin slowly opened his eyes with doubts in his eyes.

  This crown, I don't know if it is due to damage or other reasons, whether he is using spiritual power or magic power to test, or both at the same time... It seems like a mud cow into the sea, without getting any feedback.

  'Don't be in a hurry, it's important to hurry up now. '

   shook his head, Colin extinguished the fire, and got up with Sister Renee.

   "Are you ready?" Colin asked Dreiser while leading the horse next to him.

   "Ready." Dreiser nodded, his face was calm, and he could no longer see sadness.

  Tattoo—

   After taking two steps, Colin suddenly stopped, turned his head to look around, and asked in confusion:

   "Where's Burns? Won't he come with us?"

  Dreiser looked indifferent and said softly:

   "Your Excellency Colin, he will stay to dig a grave for Polly and the two..."

   Hearing this, Colin nodded slightly, but didn't say much.

   It's too common for such a monarch to die... He is not surprised.

   "Ariel, let's go." Dreiser called back.

   At this moment, Ariel was turning her head to look at Burns, who was standing silently in the cave, her eyes flickering.

  Burns was leaning against the icy wall of the cave, watching them leave, with the corpses of Polly's mother and son beside him.

   Seeing Ariel's gaze, Burns's resolute face softened slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched, saying:

   "Your Highness Ariel... let's go."

   Although the voice was a little difficult, it was still calm and calm…

   "Ariel!" Dreiser said solemnly.

   Burns failed to protect Polly and the two of them, and failed to fulfill the knight's oath he made!

   This is the price he should pay!

   "Father." Ariel turned her head, hesitated, and said slowly, "Knight Burns... It's not what you imagined."

   "No need to plead for him, Ariel."

  Dreiser frowned in confusion, but he didn't get angry, but gently admonished.

   It seems... Ariel felt sorry for Burns when she was left alone, and felt sorry for him.

   But in his opinion, Burns's behavior of living alone is a taboo... He did not execute him on the spot, but left a ray of life for him. He was already very kind.

  Arielle...still not wise enough.

   However, now there are only the two of them left in the Holy Flame Royal Family, and he is not too young...

  Eriel is obviously the only hope left for the Holy Flame Royal Family... Let's cultivate more in the future.

  Colin looked back, frowning at them.

"not like this."

   Feeling Colin's gaze, Ariel was a little anxious and said quickly.

   Then, before they could respond, she folded her hands and pressed them to her forehead.

   Immediately afterwards, invisible mental fluctuations came.

   Colin raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

   Next second.

   A humanoid spirit body the size of a palm shrouded in white light appeared in the cave, and then gradually disappeared into the air in the next second, as if water had dropped into the sea, leaving no trace.

   seemed to sense something, Colin closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

   did not notice any difference.

   "Father, Lord Colin." Ariel took the initiative to explain quickly.

   "Tonight, after I got my sister Erica's urn, I found out that I have this ability...or rather, inspired this ability."

  Colin interrupted Ariel's story and asked curiously:

   "That spirit body...is it still there?"

  Without the use of witchcraft, he could not perceive the existence of the spirit body with his perception.

   "It's still there." Ariel closed her eyes.

   Smell.

   The faint white light appeared out of thin air again, not far in front of Colin.

  The white light persisted for a while, then went out and disappeared again, like a flashing firefly lost its light.

   Colin was surprised.

   He had heard when he was on Blackrock Island that some people were born with special talents...but never saw it.

   I didn't expect Erica's sister to be such a rare existence.

   "You just said...you just activated the ability?" Colin asked, as if thinking of something.

   "That's right, Lord Colin." Ariel stroked the broken hair beside her ears nervously.

   "After the day my mother died more than six years ago, I gradually began to find myself occasionally seeing a hallucination and hearing some strange noises from it."

   "Usually, I can't understand what the voice is saying, or the voice has no meaning at all, and the main form that those phantoms see is a white light group."

   Speaking of this, Ariel seemed a little embarrassed, she hesitated before continuing.

   "After my mother died, no one chatted with me gradually, and there were fewer and fewer people around me, so I started talking to Phantom...

   Anyway, the Phantom didn't respond until tonight, after I got my sister's urn...and found myself suddenly in control of it. "

   "Well," Colin nodded, then added:

   "Go ahead, what do you want to say to Dreiser?"

   Ariel's sudden talent revealed that he was willing to give more time.

   "Thank you, Your Excellency Colin." Ariel nodded her thanks, and continued:

   "When Knight Burns took Queen Polly and Gallagher out tonight, I suddenly had a thought and summoned a phantom to follow."

   Hearing this, he seemed to have a premonition, and Burns's expression gradually became anxious, and he couldn't help but said:

   "His Royal Highness Ariel!"

  Ariel just glanced at him, and said decisively:

   "So, Father, I know what happened."

   "Queen Polly died, not because of Knight Burns, but because of herself!"

   Then, she told the real story of the whole thing.

   "...that's how it is."

   Ariel finished her last sentence.

  Plop!

   Behind him, Burns suddenly fell to his knees heavily, burying his head.

   Dreiser on the other side also reacted, his face gradually paled, and he hurriedly knelt down to Colin.

  'Queen Polly did such a thing, and even if it didn't work out, no one could guarantee what Wizard Colin would think.

   Worst case... Colin would feel that such a decision was not made by Polly alone, but the result of their discussion together. '

  'But it's not easy to explain right now that it's just Polly's idea, and it has nothing to do with them...

   After all, if it's self-defeating and Colin thinks they're pushing back, it's all over. '

   Dreiser buried his head deeply, his thoughts scattered. Bean-sized sweat dripped from his forehead.

   "Get up." Colin said, he was not surprised by the reaction of Dreiser and others.

   But this is obviously Polly's personal idea, and he is not going to anger other people.

   "The ignorant is innocent, Polly is dead, and she has paid enough..." he continued.

   Dreiser was finally relieved after hearing this.

   He stood up and looked back at Burns, his face ashamed... He thought of Polly again, but the original sadness in his heart had been replaced by anger and happiness.

   "Let's go, don't delay." Colin urged.

   After saying that, he took the lead and walked out.

   "Burns, keep up." Dreiser started, then hesitantly added, "I'm blaming you..."

   "No, it's not your fault, Your Majesty." Burns interrupted.

  Dreiser paused for a while, feeling even more guilty in his heart, slightly exhaled and continued:

   "Come on, Knight Burns."

   A group of people got on their horses and walked away.

   more than a month later.

  The chill of winter gradually disappeared, and a hint of spring quietly appeared on the vast land.

   It was morning.

  In the jungle, the golden sunlight penetrated the dense green leaves, imprinting mottled marks on the pedestrians riding horses below.

   Renee raised her hand to block the sunlight and looked at the white birds flying between the trees above.

   The long white tail feathers like ribbons were something she had never seen before at sea.

   "Get out of the jungle soon, be careful."

   A gentle and magnetic voice came from the front.

   looked back, Renee looked forward, and a handsome figure in a gray and white witch robe came into view.

   In front of him, there is gradually a light coming... The exit of the jungle is right in front of him.

   And if the map is correct, when they get out of the jungle, they will almost reach the destination of this trip.

   Renee's eyes lit up, and anticipation rose in her heart.

   didn't make her wait too long, just a moment, and the group walked out of the jungle.

  Colin took the lead, followed by Sister Renee and Dreiser.

   The warm sun shines.

   The first thing I feel is the wind, a gentle breeze unique to spring.

   Immediately ahead is the tall gray-white city wall that looks like a long dragon entrenched in the distance.

  This is Meredith City... the outskirts of Meredith Kingdom.

   Meredith City is a city within a country.

   Its periphery is a huge kingdom where mortals and wizards live together, and there are many large and small kingdoms around it.

   They are attached to the city of Meredith, and they also guard the city of Meredith.

   Colin let out a light breath.

   As soon as he walked out of the jungle, he could clearly feel that the concentration of magic power had increased...it had reached the level he used to be at the foot of Black Rock Island.

  Although it is not high, it is much better than the places we have passed along the way.

   lightly clamped the horse's belly, and they drove the horse to continue walking.
