Chapter 404 Missing

It was just May and the wheat in the field was about as long as an arm. The ears had not yet formed and were green in color.

But at this moment, the sun is setting, and the huge orange fireball in the sky emits infinite light and heat, dyeing everything in the world golden.

Wheat fields are naturally no exception.

Although the wheat is not yet strong and the golden sea of ​​wheat has not yet reached its most spectacular stage, at this special time of sunset, the scene in front of us is quite special.

This scenery is entirely created by manpower. It is different from the miraculous craftsmanship of nature, but it has a unique beauty of order.

At least the three Colins all fell silent when they saw this scene.

"The golden wheat sea is truly worthy of its reputation." After a moment, Lilian looked away and sighed.

"Not only is it beautiful to look at, this sea of ​​wheat also provides at least 60% of the food supply for the Kingdom of Neustadt." Shelley continued to add.

The Kingdom of Neustadt, including the city of Neustadt in the center, relies mainly on external inputs for their food sources - although the concentration of magic energy there is extremely high, it is usually not suitable for food cultivation.

"By the way, I haven't asked yet what the Chasai Chamber of Commerce, to which Your Excellency Drotelin belongs, is mainly engaged in?" Lilian suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"It has everything, just an ordinary chamber of commerce." Shelley smiled, looked at Lillian and suddenly asked: "If I guess correctly, should you be a mixed elf or a high elf?"

"Yes." Lillian nodded calmly and looked at Shelley.

But what surprised her was that after hearing about her mixed-race identity, Shelley's eyes did not show the subconscious contempt or slight sense of superiority that would appear on the faces of other ordinary wizards.

Growing up, she had met many people. Some people hid their contempt and superiority very well, while some people did not hide it at all.

But no matter what, there are very few people who truly have no unnecessary opinions about her elf-mixed identity.

Lilian suddenly felt more fond of the snow-haired girl in front of her, who was a head taller than her, and she didn't feel so disgusted anymore.

No wonder she can be friends with her junior... Lilian thought again, feeling inexplicably frustrated.

But she looked at Shelley carefully, and suddenly felt some confidence in her heart.

'Taller than me, but I'm just average now. The figure... well, just like the height, it shouldn't be much different from when I was in my liberated form. But looks...'

Although she felt that it was not a good idea to think this way, Lilian felt that her judgment was still pertinent - although Deloteline was also very beautiful, it was only the beauty of an ordinary person, and it was not as good as herself with the blood of elves flowing in her body.

Of course, if Lillian could see Shelley's true appearance, she might not think so.

As a natural elf, Shelley's appearance is not inferior to Lillian. It can only be said that the two are equally matched, each with its own merits.

The rest of the walk was generally pleasant, and the petite Lillian unexpectedly showed amazing generosity for some reason.

Even if Shelley occasionally revealed some information in the middle of the conversation, such as that he lived next door to Colin, Lillian would just smile and start a new topic.

It wasn't until night fell completely and the golden sea of ​​wheat lost its brilliance that the three of them slowly returned.

"How are you accumulating your school contribution points? Are they enough to exchange for the second-level meditation method? The mission of stationing here will end in more than half a year. According to your talent, you should be ready to advance to the second level by then, right? ?”

On the way back, Lilian suddenly asked, then smoothed her hair and said with a casual smile:

"If the school's contribution points are not enough at that time, you can come and ask me, senior sister, and I will help you complete the task together."

‘Don’t she know that her junior has already advanced to the second level? ’ Shelley was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Colin.

When the latter heard Lillian's words and felt Shelley's eyes, he felt a little guilty for no reason.

It stands to reason that advancement is related to his greatest foundation, and Colin intends to keep it in his stomach.

However, she unexpectedly met Shelley when she went to the far north. She had already seen her own strength and knew that he had advanced to a second-level wizard.

Also, when he met Noyce by chance that night, he was also shown his true strength by the latter.

Strictly speaking... it is no secret that he has advanced to become a second-level wizard.

"Actually, I have advanced to the second-level wizard...senior sister." Colin hesitated for a moment, then said frankly.

In front of Shelley, who already knew, he continued to hide it from Lillian... He always felt that something was not good.

Lilian was obviously startled when she heard this.

"It's already advanced..."

Her tone was a little low, and she looked at Colin, subconsciously wanting to ask him why he didn't come to her to help with school tasks.

Lillian has experienced it herself, so she knows how hard it is for a person to earn enough school contribution points...

But I have obviously advanced to the second-level wizard first, so I can definitely help... I just need to say please, senior sister...

"I am not in the second-level tin sage meditation method of school exchange, but in the True Knowledge Society." Looking at the expression on her face, Colin Fuli explained again with a clear heart.

Lilian blinked when she heard this.

It turned out that it was not the school contribution points that I earned secretly without telling myself, but from the True Knowledge Society.

The depressed mood suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared on her face again and she continued to ask: "When did you advance? Did you advance recently?"

Colin's cheeks stiffened slightly.

Lillian looked at his reaction and frowned slightly, a little confused.

"I didn't expect you to have advanced to the second level wizard. Jin Yu is indeed well-deserved." Shelley on the side suddenly said.

Lillian turned her head and turned her attention to Shelley, who looked surprised.

Colin was obviously stunned for a moment, but seeing Shelley wink at him, he subconsciously answered: "Yes, but I don't plan to expose my strength for the time being. The situation within the school is complicated, and it is not a good thing to be too eye-catching."

He was a little confused about what Shelley was thinking... Logically speaking, she shouldn't have said something out of the blue at this time: Did she see herself become a second-level wizard more than two years ago?

"I will keep it a secret for you," Shelley continued, looking at the petite blond girl next to her.

Her smooth face, slender eyelashes, and emerald-like clear eyes, combined with her short stature, made her look like an exquisite doll. It was really hard for people to dislike her... and also made her unwilling to really hurt her.

"I'll hide it for you, junior!" Lilian quickly answered, having forgotten to ask when Colin was promoted to a second-level wizard. The depression in his heart dissipated like mist on the glass, and he became a new person again. Be translucent.

"But since my junior has advanced to the second level, I have to celebrate tonight."

The figures of the three people gradually disappeared.

The excitement continued at Colin's house until late at night before gradually dying down.

It is worth mentioning that after the dinner, Lillian did not stay at his house, but went to the Shelley house next door.

In just one meal, the relationship between the two seemed to have made great progress.

The next day.

It's just dawn in the morning.

Colin packed up his things and prepared to go on routine patrol.

What warmed his heart was that Lillian and Shelley also got up early in the morning and came over to have breakfast and send him off for patrol.

The sun is shining brightly today, the sky is clear, and the high sky looks like a huge sapphire.

Colin and Wilbur were cruising in the air together, looking at the rows of buildings below, and inexplicably thought of Shelley's words in the morning.

"You can go on patrol with peace of mind. I will take Lilian on a tour of the Loen Kingdom today."

I don’t know where they will go to play?

Shaking his head, Colin concentrated on patrolling, inexplicably looking forward to the evening meeting.

Although the life of continuous cultivation and research is very fulfilling, occasionally chatting and getting together with familiar and reliable people is also a rare and pleasant experience.

"Hmm...what is that?"

However, at this moment, Wilbur beside him suddenly said doubtfully.

Colin came back from his thoughts and immediately noticed something strange not far away.

They are currently patrolling to the edge of Peno City, which is the city to the north of Neustadt City and the city closest to the Lightless Forest.

At this moment, a thick black smoke suddenly rose from the lightless forest in front of them at an extremely fast speed, as if a continuous sharp arrow was shot from the ground.

Because he was very close to their position, Colin could clearly see the specific appearance of the black smoke.

This is definitely not a fire. This thick black smoke is also significantly different from the thick smoke caused by ordinary flame burning. The overall color is darker, the edges are more solid, and there is no tendency to spread.

laugh!

Colin frowned slightly and immediately activated the warning token in his hand.

boom!

A ray of orange-red light suddenly rose into the air like a shooting star, and then exploded into the shape of a wheat ear shrouded in flames.

The patterns were huge, the colors were extremely bright, and the sound of the explosion was deafening.

"Sir Colin..." Wilbur on the side did not expect Colin to be so decisive, and he was still a little unresponsive.

"Sir Colin, what should we do?" Hua De on the side reacted, but he was also a little panicked, and subconsciously asked Colin.

"Keep a distance and observe, wait for support... huh?!"

Click, click, click!

Before Colin could finish his words, the sound of branches breaking suddenly came from the dense tree crown in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a strange gray elk emitting black smoke suddenly rushed out and headed straight for Colin and the three of them!

"Spread out!" Colin shouted in a low voice and quickly retreated to the side.

The gray elk in front of him was extremely fast. Even though there was a tree canopy in the way, his burst of speed exceeded the first-order level!

This turned out to be a second-level weird creature!

However, although Wilbur and Ward's fighting ability was worrisome, their reaction speed to escape was faster than Colin imagined. No one was hurt by the gray elk's swift attack.

Colin looked carefully at the giant deer, which was about ten meters in front of him.

This weird giant deer seemed to have stepped out of a black and white movie. Apart from the two flames dancing in its eyes, there was no color anywhere on its body.

The overall condition didn't look very good either. The translucent body was a bit broken, traces of ulcers could be seen everywhere on the gray skin, the wounds were faintly visible, and the translucent tentacles were constantly squirming. The huge curved antlers on the left side were also broken in half.

"This is not the Frost Phantom... what on earth is this?" Wilbur murmured at the side. He looked at Colin and couldn't help but suggested: "How about we stay away from the edge for now and wait for Wizard Irvine to come? "

On the battlefield, wizards have strict rules, even in places like the Kingdom of Loen. As long as Colin, as the captain, did not issue an order and dared to escape without permission, the final result would be worse than if he had stayed.

Therefore, even though he was very afraid of the giant deer, Wilbur did not dare to escape before the worst situation.

"Yes." Colin nodded lightly, "Back off cautiously, slowly distance yourself, and wait for Mr. Irvine to come for support."

Wilbur and Hua De both breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them moved back quietly.

Moo——

However, at this moment, the gray elk, which had been unable to hit the target and just stopped in place, suddenly neighed and rushed forward crazily with billowing black smoke.

"not good!"

The expressions of Wilbur and the two changed drastically, and they quickly distanced themselves from each other.

However, they soon discovered something was wrong——

This elk seems to be heading towards Colin?

Uh-huh!

Colin frowned and looked at the irrational elk monster in front of him, cursing his bad luck in his heart.

Why me?

Whoosh!

Colin suddenly changed direction and tried to get rid of the elk monster.

At the same time, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the golden wheat ears in the distance, hoping that Erwin would come as soon as possible.

However, he still underestimated the speed of the gray-white elk. In just a moment, he had already closed the distance to within five meters.

Wizard Erwin has not arrived yet.

There was no other way... Colin calculated that if he didn't want to expose his second-level flight speed, he would definitely be overtaken by the elk monster.

Teng! !

So, after weighing it, he waved his hand and summoned a second-level intermediate fire element.

The flying speed is the same as the Frost Shadow, and it is a strength that should not be exposed as much as possible. Otherwise, the murder of classmates' members back then would easily be exposed.

The movement of summoning the fire element made Wilbur and Huade slightly startled.

'It's a pity...a golden feather is going to die today. ’ Wilbur looked slightly gloomy and couldn’t help but sigh.

Huade just silently accelerated his flight speed, feeling grateful that the elk monster chose Colin's companion, and praying that the golden feather could persist for one more second.

However, after a while, the two of them suddenly realized something was wrong.

"This is?!"

The two of them glanced back at the same time, and their expressions suddenly froze as if struck by lightning.

In front of Colin, a flaming figure wrapped in flames was rushing towards the gray-white elk.

The flaming figure had not yet arrived, but the rolling heat wave that swept away had already melted some of the smoke covering the elk monster's body.

From its blazing white color and the crown bulge on its head, Wilbur and Ward recognized that it was a fire element of at least the second level!

"This...how is this possible?"

"That's the second level fire element?!"

The two of them stopped flying at the same time and stared blankly at the battle behind them.

Colin...can actually summon the second level fire element? !

The strength of the elk monster was only the second-level elementary level, and it had some injuries on its body. Naturally, it would not be a match for the second-level intermediate fire element summoned by Colin.

Therefore, the outcome of the battle was no surprise, and Colin won a complete victory.

"Sir Colin, are you okay?"

"It's okay..." Colin breathed, deliberately pretending to consume too much magic power.

He looked at the two Wilburs flying over, and then looked at the sky in the distance, but suddenly a doubt arose in his heart. He looked at the two Wilburs and asked:

"Your Excellency Erwin...why haven't you come for so long?"

"Maybe he was busy with something and didn't notice it for a while." Wilbur speculated.

However, it didn't take long for Wilbur to discover that his guess was completely wrong.

Wizard Erwin has disappeared!
