   Chapter 65 The Price

   "You mean, Lisa was originally a prostitute in the Great Axe Tavern... Later, she was kicked out of the tavern because she was deliberately pregnant with a guest's child?"

  The lobby on the first floor of the Inspection Office.

  The wood-colored window is illuminated by the sun.

  Colin and Regana are sitting on the grey woolen sofa and talking.

   Colin looked a little surprised.

   "Yes." Regana nodded, stroked the hair by her ear, and sighed.

   "So, Phil's son is not his own?" Colin put down the book with a strange expression on his face.

   "If there is no accident, it should be." Regana replied again, not knowing what to express on her face.

   It has been about a month since the last time I went to the shanty town to arrest Phil.

   During this time, the Inspection Office conducted a detailed investigation of Lisa and Phil, their identities, past experiences, and relationships.

  Phil is nothing special. He is a native fisherman on the island. His past experience is no different from that of ordinary fishermen. They are all as simple and clear.

   But his ex-wife, Lisa, had a much more complicated experience.

Although   Lisa is just an ordinary person, her grandfather was originally a junior wizard apprentice, serving for the Blackrock family that once ruled the island.

   Then there is the common story of falling from the middle of the family, the class slipping, the girl reduced to a prostitute, unwilling to drop in status, trying to live a prosperous life again.

   Regana sighed again, "Only with power can you control your own destiny."

   "Maggie."

   She turned her head and called out to the black cat lying beside her.

   Maggie's ears moved slightly, jumped onto Regana's thigh, formed a ball, lay down again, and let Regana caress freely.

  Colin rubbed the manuscript in his hand slightly and remained silent.

   Maybe it was his last cone shot in the shack, which really shocked Regana.

   In short, after that, Regana not only did not hold grudges for his last remarks, but took the initiative to get acquainted with him.

   Up to now, although they are not really good friends, they can chat a little while on duty.

   "I'm ready to advance to a senior wizard apprentice."

   After a while, Regana said suddenly while stroking the black cat Maggie.

"Congratulations."

   Colin raised his brows slightly, put down the manuscript, and congratulated.

   "Thank you." Regana smiled reluctantly, and she let go of the hand that stroked Maggie.

   "I don't know if I can succeed..." Her tone was filled with confusion and fear,

   sighed slightly, and murmured again:

   "The end of knowledge is weird..."

   "…and the only light that anchors reason is human nature."

  Colin took the next sentence at the right time.

  Comparing the beginner and intermediate levels, the senior wizard apprentice is relatively special.

  From this state, the fog lingering in the spirit will gradually dissipate, which means that they will really begin to touch the "reality" of the world.

   This truth is the filthy ravings all over the world...

   They distort knowledge!

  If human nature is not maintained...if knowledge is not mastered well, there will be a price.

  Costs vary from light to heavy, some are permanent, some are temporary.

   But no matter what, this is the biggest secret of every wizard, and no one will reveal it easily.

   In reality, however, there are always costs that are hard to hide.

   For example, Flower's gluttony, anorexia...

   Here, Colin thought of Holt again.

   Perhaps, Holt's love of sunbathing is part of the price.

   Although some of these costs are permanent, more will gradually weaken or even disappear with the deepening of knowledge and understanding.

   One of Berkeley's performances as a peak wizard apprentice is that there are no obvious abnormalities like Holt and Flower.

   There was a sudden silence between the two.

  Regana should be worried about whether she can successfully advance.

   And Colin is thinking, the knowledge that comes from breaking the limit of golden paper can be directly and completely mastered without learning... I wonder if it can reduce part of the cost?

   After a while.

  Regana seemed to adjust her mood. Looking at Colin, her mind suddenly moved, and she invited:

   "Tomorrow there will be a small gathering between us wizards in the inspection office, are you interested in coming?"

   Regana regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.

   She suddenly thought that most of the people who came to this party were members of the original patrol team led by wizards on the mountain...

"reunion?"

   "...Yes, or it's more like a party. Let's get acquainted with each other and share some experience and experience of shaman cultivation."

  Regana paused, then added: "If you don't want to come, you don't have to feel sorry, I just ask casually."

   Colin nodded and said with a polite smile:

   "It's not that I don't want to come, it's just that I haven't advanced so long, and I have nothing to share... So I still don't go."

   This is of course an excuse, the real reason is that he doesn't like socializing.

   And with the golden paper, he doesn't need others to share any experience.

  Regana nodded, her expression did not change, but she was relieved.

   It's not that she looks down on Colin, it's just that from the day she advanced, the two types of people were divided into two circles.

   She has more contact with Colin and knows more, so she doesn't feel otherwise.

   But her comrades who had been on the mountain the wizard led the patrol might not think so.

  …Apprentices who stay on the mountain will somewhat despise the apprentices who are assigned to the bottom of the mountain.

   After all, if it wasn't for the establishment of an inspection office, these two groups of people might never have seen each other in a lifetime.

   "I don't know when the reward from the school will arrive?"

   In order to ease the embarrassment, Regana said again,

  Although Colin made a mistake to expose the cultist before, but after all, he did meritorious deeds, and the school should be rewarded.

   "I don't know... Maybe it's just two days ago, after all, it's been a month..."

  The two chatted for a while, and then they began to concentrate on witchcraft.

time flies.

  The day's work comes to an end when the sun becomes rich like golden honey.

  Colin said goodbye to Regana, got into the carriage, and the two drove in opposite directions.

   When she got home, Renee had a sumptuous dinner ready.

   During the meal, Colin looked at Renee, who was well-behaved by the side, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

   Not long ago, he tried to teach Renee to practice the most primitive solar breathing method.

  This breathing method was bought by him at a roadside stall. In addition to being cheap, another advantage is that it can be taught to others without restrictions.

   It's a pity that Renee has not yet started...

   This is mainly because she has not received any good education, and she cannot even recognize hyphenation.

   Although the family runs a bakery, the family is not poor. But obviously, this is not enough to make them affordable to hire a tutor.

   As for schools, there are no schools on the island at all.

   In addition, the knight breathing method seems simple, but it can be used as something that allows people to master extraordinary power. How can it be so simple?

   So this is not a simple solution that can be solved simply by learning to read... Renee still lacks a lot of things, obviously it can't be done in a month.

  'Fortunately, he was a member of the orthodox school of wizards. ’

  Colin sighed silently in his heart again.

  As for Arthur, that is even more rigid in his thinking, and he can no longer change it.

  ‘…Perhaps, I should study some knowledge of life transformation and directly and rudely give Renee their power. ' Colin resurfaced.
