Weird Wizarding World Chapter 218

   Chapter 218 Ambush

   About an hour later, Colin and his party came to the pier.

   The familiar scene appeared in front of Colin again.

  The flock of seabirds with white feathers and black bills hovered above their heads, making crisp calls.

   The blue water below rhythmically beats the reefs, and the sea breeze mixed with water vapor is oncoming, making people feel relaxed and happy.

   "Board, and gather on the deck first."

   Not far away, Link gave a light command, and then took the lead and flew towards the steam iron ship moored not far from the pier.

   Colin withdrew his gaze and rose to the ground.

   At this time, it is already autumn and winter in the Siya continent, but in Gupier Island, the oncoming wind is still mellow and intoxicating.

  Since the wizards participating in the Athos Society were all senior wizard apprentices, it saved some time on board.

  The wizards fell on the deck like rain.

   The deck of the steamship is large, but after all the apprentices have gathered, almost half of it has been occupied.

   Wizard Link stood in front of him, and he was the wizard who led the Neustadt city in the Azius meeting.

  As usual, the wizards who led the team in the past were usually from the nine schools in the city... I don't know why this time he came from the Supreme Council.

   There are nine second-order wizards next to Link, and the first one is the wizard in charge of the Atis Society.

   The wizard in charge is a witch, a rare middle-aged woman, with a warm face and a slightly fat body, just like an ordinary aunt.

   However, according to the usual practice, although this "aunt" is not very good-looking and only wears an ordinary gray witch robe, if nothing else, it should be from the Supreme Council like Link.

  'Ten second-order wizards and nearly a hundred first-order wizards... The Siya continent's Supreme Council attaches great importance to the Atis Society. ' Colin sighed to himself.

   He looked around.

   The senior wizard apprentices stood neatly, roughly counting, at least thousands.

   It doesn't seem to be many, but those who can stand here are undoubtedly the highest-ranking wizard apprentices in the entire Siya continent.

   The last of them is also from a school like the school affiliated to the Nine Schools in Neustadt City.

The   Sia continent is so vast, but there are only nine wizard cities.

  In the nine wizarding cities, there are countless schools of thought.

   But there are only a dozen or so sects, suitable senior wizard apprentices can participate in this Atius meeting.

   In such a comparison, Colin even felt that the accompanying configuration of ten second-order wizards and nearly a hundred first-order wizards was still slightly weak.

   After all, in other words, the senior wizards here represent the future of the top group of forces in the Siya continent.

   But... Colin shook his head, no matter what kind of assessment, the difficulty is always based on the senior wizard apprentices.

   There are ten second-order wizards, which is enough, no matter how many, it is just a waste of combat power.

   You must know that this is a time of war, and every high-level wizard's combat power is precious.

   "I'm the chief in charge of this Azius Society, Cereza."

   After scanning the apprentices in front of him, the wizard who looked like an aunt spoke slowly.

   Her tone is gentle, her face is kind, and she has the temperament of reading poetry and books.

  'It should be the time to read out the specific assessment content and rules of the Athos Society. ' Colin thought to himself.

   To his surprise, Cereza just said a few words—

  This time, the Athos meeting was different from the past, emphasizing the actual combat ability of the wizard, and then after encouraging the apprentices, he waved everyone back to the assigned cabin.

   "I always felt like there was something wrong there."

   On the way to the assigned room, Sowerk, who was walking by the side, suddenly said.

   They are all three members of the Istar-affiliated school, and the rooms are naturally divided together.

   "There can be something wrong, at most it's just hiding something from the wizards of our affiliated schools." Meier sighed, "I'm already used to it, the nine schools are not of the same class as us."

   He glanced at Sowerk and Colin, and then sighed: "I definitely don't have a chance, but the two of you are still young. If you have the ability, try to be promoted to the Istar School."

   "If you join the Ista School, you will be in another situation..."

  Colin was silent and continued walking.

   "Woo—"

   Wow~

  The blue water ripples,

   With the sound of a whistle, the steamship slowly started.

   As he walked off the deck, Colin turned his head and looked aside.

  In the distance where the sea and the sky meet, surrounded by the magnificent debris left by the burning clouds, the orange-red sunset is slowly falling, and it is about to touch the deep blue sea and sink.

  A rare view…

  Unfortunately, he couldn't watch the whole sunset.

   Walking down the narrow stairs, the vision was gradually replaced by gray-blue steel. The rich orange-yellow light of the sunset was replaced by the soft white light emitted by bright crystals...

   After a while, Colin walked into the room and just sat down.

  OM—

   Magic energy waves came.

  'It should be that the steamship has activated the defensive witch formation or the like. ' he surmised to himself.

   If you look down from the sky at this moment.

   You can see that in the sea reddened by the setting sun, a gray-blue steam iron ship chopped the waves and galloped all the way.

   Then at this moment, it suddenly disappeared!

   Even the waves that were originally rolled up disappeared without a trace, and the sea returned to calm again.

   Captain's Room.

  Link and other second-order wizards gathered there and respectfully listened to Cereza's speech.

   The speech was not long, and it came to an end quickly.

   Celesa looked at her watch and gave an order.

   "This operation can't afford to fail... The time is almost up, go and gather all the official wizards and tell them the status quo."

  Link and other second-order wizards nodded.

five minutes later.

   In the hall on the second floor, all the first-order wizards gathered here.

  The leading wizards of each city, and the accompanying wizards of the top schools in the city, stood at the front, guarding Ceresa.

   Celesa scanned the circle of wizards and slowly said:

   "Relax and do a little test."

   Immediately afterwards, she and the other second-order wizards waved gently.

  Invisible ripples appeared in the air, and circles spread toward them.

  'Crimson Marking? ' Colin recognized the witchcraft and was puzzled.

   After a while, seeing that there was no red light in the field, Cereza waved again,

  OM—

In the    hall, the soft white light of the bright crystal suddenly disappeared and plunged into darkness.

   Immediately afterwards, a light suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.

A    stereo projection appears.

   On the deep blue sea, a gray-blue steel steamship was driving quietly.

   "It seems to be the steamship that we are on now."

   Colin speculated to himself.

  Although the steel steamship was marked with blue light for some reason, he still recognized the ship from the details.

"Um?!"

   The next moment, Colin's pupils shrank slightly.

  The projection in the center suddenly changed the perspective, pulling the perspective to a higher place in the sky, just like the aerial photography of the previous life.

   It is precisely this perspective that makes Colin surprised to discover—

   Not far in front of their ship, there was a huge fleet!

The number of    fleets is so large that they are almost all over the corner of the projection, and they are all marked with blue light.

   At this moment, Celesa spoke up.

   "You read that right, there are a large number of ships in front of us... Don't be afraid, they all belong to our wizards."

   "And the reason for waiting here is for an ambush."

   "An ambush on Gupier Island."
