Chapter 34 The Disaster
After walked out of the wooden house, Orlando snorted coldly and took Willard to the right. Colin was forced to go left with Katherine.
The two walked in tandem.
"Child, don't think about me."
Catherine said suddenly, she glanced back at Colin, and said coldly:
"Orlando's head is full of crap, and I don't want you to be too!"
Colin's expression remained the same, but he was very stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Looking at Colin's calm expression, Catherine frowned and said solemnly:
"Sometimes, the real man is the one who dares to admit his own thoughts."
"...I really have no idea about you."
Colin slowly stopped and said solemnly. His face is calm and his tone is sincere and sincere.
Catherine sneered and continued to walk forward. Looking disdainful.
Colin frowned, choosing to wait a few more minutes in place, until Katherine's figure had become a little smaller, and then slowly walked.
‘What a disaster. ' He sighed inwardly.
Katherine's character was so bad, which he did not expect.
Fortunately, the distance between the wooden houses on duty is about 500 meters, which can avoid some embarrassment.
Walking into the wooden house, Colin took out a bright crystal to light it up and placed it on the wooden light stand on the wall.
With the soft white light, he looked inside the room.
This is the same as the wooden house where Captain Holt used to live. It is a large single room with a toilet. There is a set of tables and chairs on the left side of the front half of the entrance.
On the floor in the middle of the house is a cushion that resembles a tatami. It looks clean, it must have just been replaced.
But Colin still took a swipe at it to clean it before he sat down slowly.
Tuk Tuk Tuk.
As soon as Colin sat down, there was a knock on the door.
‘Could it be that there were beasts attacking so soon? ’
He frowned and quickly got up to open the door.
"grown ups."
As soon as the door opened, he saw a sturdy city guard captain wearing steel armor, taking off his helmet and placing it in his left hand, then respectfully greeted him by touching his chest.
Behind him were several city guards who were wearing plate armor and also took off their helmets.
"Is there a beast attacking?" Colin asked, "Why didn't you fire a flare?"
"No, my lord, we came here on purpose to see you." The captain of the city guard quickly explained, and then added,
"You just came on duty, you may not know that the area our team is in charge of is yours."
Without waiting for Colin to answer, he waved back, took a huge gray cloth bag from the players and handed it to Colin.
"These are some of our thoughts, please accept them."
The captain of the guard held the cloth bag in both hands, and he looked at Colin nervously.
For the city guards who patrol the city, it is especially important to have a good relationship with the wizard on duty.
When the beasts attacked, perhaps as long as the wizard on duty paid more attention, saw the signal flare in time, and arrived more than ten seconds and a half minutes earlier, they could save one life.
Colin hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it.
He has gradually become accustomed to the rules of this world.
"Sir, please take care of me in the future... Then we won't bother you any more."
Seeing Colin take it, the captain of the guards breathed a sigh of relief, and then bid farewell.
Colin nodded calmly, watching them lined up with torches and started patrolling.
The City Guards are forces other than the four major gangs and three families, directly belonging to the city lord Price Bennett.
Price is an elderly apprentice of the pinnacle wizard, about 90 years old, his body is weak, and there is no hope of advancing.
Now his only wish is to let his bloodline spread.
And the school is high, never looking down on other forces, and is unwilling to spend energy in Blackrock City.
and Price hit it off.
Pryce manages all kinds of trivial matters in Blackrock City for the school, and the school sends guards to help deal with polluters, cults, and beasts.
Just wait for the resources to be collected every month.
Colin thought while walking to the window, looking at the distant top of the mountain, which was the location of the Lapp School.
‘In the school, most wizards stay in the wizarding field. They enjoy the supply of the whole city without being bothered by trifles. In addition to the necessary tasks, it is to concentrate on climbing forward. ’
‘… But the guards can only stay in this place. ’
He exhaled the golden paper.
The progress of the intermediate apprentice above is stuck at 2/100.
'I think, my wizard's progress is so slow, in addition to the reason why it is more difficult to improve after the advanced level, it is also because the magic energy in Blackrock City is far less dense than that of wizards...'
He sighed slightly in his heart, walked to the cushion in the middle of the house, and sat down with his knees crossed.
…………
Patrol the road.
The team members whispered.
"Do you think the new wizard is reliable? He doesn't look older than me!"
"Yeah, really unlucky! We have just met a new wizard after so long. I just hope that there will be no beasts attacking this month."
"Alas, the weaker the strength, the better the character. When he gave gifts, he looked so gentle, I guess his strength..."
"Shut up!" The captain of the guard scolded in a deep voice, "Don't discuss wizards behind your back."
The team members were silent.
The captain of the guards paused and said, "I have been more cautious in the past month. The beast is here, run faster!"
Then he added inadvertently: "First run to the nearest wooden house... I remember the veiled witch on the left..."
"Yes, Captain!"
The team members immediately understood.
Most of them were born at the bottom of the city. Although they chose to be city guards, they were already prepared to face danger.
But being from the bottom also means that they are likely to be the pillars of the family, which makes them have to cherish their lives.
The captain of the guard continued to lead the patrol with torches, his face was calm, but his heart was a little uneasy.
The worries of the team members are also his worries.
It has been a long time since such a young wizard came to the west of the city,
When new wizards came, they would not be so worried because the beasts were not strong.
But in recent years, the strength of the beast has become stronger and stronger... Not long ago, a wizard was damaged here.
If the new Lapp school wizard is weak, it will not affect him. Because of the danger, the wizard next to him will help, and it is difficult to lose his life.
But for them it was totally different.
Although he hinted that the team members were smarter, he ran to the stronger wizard in the distance.
But in fact, the lives of everyone in their squad are bound to the corresponding wizards on duty.
If wizards die, then they too will die in the end.
…
Time flies fast.
That night, the weather was calm, there were no beasts attacking, only the sound of patrolling the city guards from time to time.
Colin glanced at the clock on the shelf on the wall, got up slowly, packed his things and prepared to go home.
The duty of the guards, as Holt said, doesn't have many rules.
When the time comes, just go when the time comes. No reporting to anyone and no performance appraisal.
Only when the beasts are handled improperly, such as absenteeism and the beasts just happen to attack, causing losses, will there be penalties.
Picking up the gray cloth bag given to him by the city guards on the wooden table last night, Colin opened the door and walked out.
The cloth bag contained a large piece of fresh meat. If you guessed correctly, it should be the meat of a beast.
But what kind of animal, Colin really can't recognize it.
However, no matter what kind of beast meat is a good thing, ordinary people often eat it to keep fit.
Of course, its biggest advantage is that it can assist knights in their cultivation.
The reason why the city guards are all knights and the captains are all great knights is that they rely on the assistance of beast meat.
In addition, the meat of beasts is also an invisible benefit of the guards in the west of the city.
The beasts killed by the wizards will all be purchased by the city guards.
If you encounter a lot of beasts in a month, you can also add a few magic stones to your income.
Walking out of the wooden house, Colin happened to meet the wizard who came to change shifts and was also a member of the Lapp School, and the two greeted him friendly.
In fact, when he came to the cabin last night, Colin saw him from a distance, but it was probably because of the delay in Holt's cabin that the two did not meet directly.
The fields in the west of the city account for more than 80% of the grain output of the entire Black Rock City. Once there is a problem, the consequences will be disastrous.
So basically, there are wizards guarding here all the time.
