The Bizarre Wizarding World
Chapter 490 - 332 Farewell and Rewards

December 8th.

The weather was still dreadful, with the cold wind howling and snowflakes blowing in one's face, making one feel the cruelty of ice blades.

It was just dawn when Colin arrived at Lillian's residence.

Atbolde, the mentor, was also there.

Today was the day Sister Lillian was setting off, and they had come to see her off.

This time, Lillian had chosen a difficult task located far away, in hopes of gathering enough School Contribution Points to exchange for the Meditation Method.

The round trip, plus the time needed for the task, would probably take at least three months.

It was quite a long time.

The three were very familiar with each other, so there were no formalities.

They just chatted briefly, had a cup of tea, and waited for Lillian to pack her bags and get ready to leave.

After closing all the doors, the three of them went to the main entrance.

Standing outside the black fence gate, with no walls to block it, the harsh wind and snow came whistling, making one feel as if they were in the midst of a vast fog, isolated from the world.

Having a Storage Ring on, Lillian's attire wasn't much different from usual, dressed in a gray robe, only carrying some Witch Tools with her.

Without those large and small bags, the farewell seemed less sorrowful.

"Have a smooth journey," Atbolde said first, his face kind.

Colin always felt that after that night, the mentor seemed to become more and more peaceful, like a lazy, noncompetitive old tree basking in the sunlight.

Although the strange transformation on his body had mostly dissipated and he was able to move freely, Atbolde still stayed in his residence almost every moment, just as before.

Colin knew the reason.

"The road ahead is exhausted."

This was what he had learned from his mentor the last time he visited.

The mentor's internal changes from the transformation had diminished, but they had ultimately caused irreversible changes.

According to what he had said, there seemed to be no more possibilities for advancement.

Fortunately, as a Second Rank Wizard, Atbolde generally had a lifespan of five hundred years, and having an Elf Bloodline meant his lifespan would only be longer. If he could accept it, his current state could indeed be considered content.

Not good, but not bad either.

Despite many thoughts in his heart, in reality, only a moment had passed.

After Atbolde finished his farewell, Colin also said to Lillian:

"Have a smooth journey, Sister, and may your task go well."

"Mhm."

Lillian looked at her grandfather, nodded slightly, then turned to Colin, thought for a moment, and with a smile, gently said:

"Hopefully, by the next time we meet, both of us will have exchanged for the Second Rank stage of the Meditation Method."

Colin was slightly taken aback.

But after Lillian spoke, she didn't wait for his reply and promptly turned and walked into the wind and snow.

The weather was severe today, and public carriages had stopped operating, so she had to walk to the Transmission Array.

Her journey was long; first, she needed to teleport to another Wizard City—Graham, and then continue from Graham City to the destination of her task.

Colin watched as Lillian's petite figure, glowing with the light of Defensive Witchcraft, gradually disappeared into the vast wind and snow, his emotions complex.

The path of cultivation is rugged and full of obstacles, who could take it lightly?

The once powerful Sister Lillian, when he reached the same level as her, only then realized that her situation wasn't much different from his past self.

Of course, he was still struggling upwards, just as during his Apprentice period...

Feeling the omnipresent wind and snow, Colin scoffed at himself in his mind, then felt a bit of regret.

It's a pity that whether it's the True Knowledge Society or the School, neither allows exchanging knowledge for someone else or transferring points.

After silently wishing his sister a smooth journey in his heart.

Colin collected his thoughts, bid farewell to his mentor, and rushed to the True Knowledge Society laboratory.

As long as one keeps rising, one day, sunlight will rush to cast itself upon one, and all the mud and shadows will dissipate.

Upon arriving at the True Knowledge Society, there were no surprises.

Even though he arrived just at seven o'clock this time, the crystal outside Shelley's laboratory was still lit.

This diligence was unmatched among those he knew.

Although he didn't know too many people…

After closing the heavy laboratory door and performing a routine check of the room, Colin took out the Zeroth Rank Witchcraft he had purchased the day before and began to delve deeply into it.

There were four Zeroth Rank Witchcrafts, all Lower Zeroth Rank Attack Witchcraft.

The Water Jet Skill, Lesser Acid Splash, Air Bomb, and Thorns Technique.

If there were no accidents, based on past experience, these Witchcrafts could attain Upper Zeroth Rank within three Limit Breaking sessions at most.

As for the consumption of Limit Breaking Points, it wasn't certain, but it wouldn't exceed a few hundred Magic Stones.

The buyback price of Upper Zeroth Rank Attack Witchcraft in bookstores was generally between ten thousand and twenty thousand Magic Stones.

This was far more profitable than selling Magic Potions or Witch Tools!

If he sold Magic Potions or Witch Tools, he had to deal with raw materials and market outlets; moreover, if he focused on mass-producing mid to low-end Magic Potions or Witch Tools, it would take a considerable amount of time to produce.

If he chose the premium route, then he needed to be prepared for a long initial period with investment but no returns.

Perhaps taking the premium route could earn more Magic Stones in the later stage than selling Zeroth Rank Witchcraft.

But with that effort, why didn't he just sell First Rank Witchcraft?

One must know, usually, the more something is prohibited, the more profitable it becomes.

Like Magic Potions and Witch Tools, the restrictions from the Supreme Council aren't too strict.
