Chapter 580: Chapter 377 I Need Compensation_3
Colin nodded honestly, exchanged pleasantries with his mentor for a while, declined Lillian’s invitation to lunch, and then hastened to the True Knowledge Society.
He had specifically taken advance leave for this return to Neustadt City, totaling only three days, and he had to make good use of them.
The True Knowledge Society Castle was as desolate as when he left, or perhaps even more so.
Colin spent most of the day alone there and by evening, had finally broken through the monthly limit of his Zeroth Rank witchcraft.
Rolling his neck, Colin planned to exchange the freshly Limit Breaking witchcraft for Magic Stones at the Copper Rose, and on his way back, to stop by Darren’s Commission to see if there were any suitable missions for earning money.
But an alert from the Black Castle arrived first through his School Badge.
After about ten minutes, his emotions properly prepared, he arrived at the Black Castle.
In a small meeting room, Colin met the representatives sent by the Hidosh and Bunier families.
The representatives, a man and a woman, both had amiable faces.
"Good evening, Mr. Colin."
"We’re very sorry that such an event happened, but please believe that the actions of Gena and Bale this time were purely personal and had nothing to do with our families," they said right from the start, addressing the heart of the matter.
Colin wasn’t surprised and sat down across from the two wizards.
His handsome face was calm, but this calmness was like a silent volcano, brewing with suppressed anger.
After staring at the two representative wizards for a long time, Colin finally spoke with a hint of repressed fury,
"I still remember the pain of being plundered that day. I also remember that Gena is a member of the Hidosh family and Bale is a member of the Bunier family.
They attacked me brutally, disregarding our fellow School kinship, and even stole my Storage Ring with a hundred thousand Magic Stones!"
The two representative wizards fell silent. It was the crux of the matter. There was solid evidence that Gena and Bale had attacked Colin, which was indisputable.
Originally, when Faber and Buzi returned to Neustadt City, they rushed to the forest where Colin was ambushed and confirmed the authenticity of the attack.
As for the Storage Ring... Gena and Bale couldn’t even find their intact corpses, let alone the Storage Ring they had taken!
Seeing Colin’s angry expression, the two representative wizards did not dare to question the truthfulness of his words and realized that he was not easy to deal with.
So the two representative wizards glanced at each other, then asked softly,
"So, Mr. Colin, how would you like to handle this now?"
Colin’s eyes gleamed imperceptibly, maintaining his angry expression as he began to speak.
...
Three days later.
Colin returned to the Roon Kingdom with a bright and cheerful mood.
His anger towards Gena and Bale for assaulting him had completely dissipated, and now he even felt somewhat grateful.
For nothing else, the Hidosh and Bunier families had given him far too much—no less than a million Magic Stones!
If this could happen a few more times, he might well become rich quickly!
But such things were just wishful thinking...
To return to the main point, with the one million Magic Stones gained from the Hidosh family, he now had about half a million Magic Stones left.
Yes, he had already spent the majority of the freshly acquired Magic Stones.
And such a vast amount of Magic Stones had allowed Colin to acquire a series of Witch Arrays and Witch Tools capable of concealing magical fluctuations, absorbing Energy, and reinforcing structures.
Thanks to the final results that were achieved.
Colin referred to this set of interconnected Objects as—the Silver Chamber.
He stood in the basement, touching the walls that with the aid of Witch Arrays and Witch Tools could withstand the residual effects of witchcraft below Third Rank, and nodded in satisfaction.
The place for his cultivation was now settled. Although he was eager to begin, he had one more thing to do before starting his quiet deep practice in the Roon Kingdom.
A thought crossed Colin’s mind.
Anando’s Dice!
Whoosh!
A spinning golden dice descended from the sky and settled to show a single dot in front of him.
At the same time, a location also emerged in his mind.
