Chapter 167 Party

   Walk into the school and walk quickly along the road.

   Soon, he arrived outside the residence of his tutor Atbold.

   Pass the verification of Xilaihua and step into the stone path.

  Here is as quiet as ever.

  But maybe he also raised a Naduo plant. This time he came here, he obviously felt that the plants around him were a little different.

  In fact, if you are familiar enough, you can indeed detect some differences between the plants taken over by Naduo and ordinary plants.

  For example, the looming blue-golden veins, such as more neat growth...

   "Colin."

  Suddenly, just as he was carefully observing the surrounding plants, a familiar voice slowly came from the side.

  Following the reputation, a green branch hangs from a big tree beside the path.

  A trumpet-shaped white flower blooms on the top of the branch.

  The voice came from the white flower.

   Appears to be... Atbold's voice.

   "Have you finished your closed-door training?" Bai Hua continued to hear the teacher's voice.

  Bai Hua perfectly restored Atbold's slow speaking speed and gentle and calm tone.

   "Yes, Mentor Atbold."

  Although they were not face to face, Colin still bowed slightly and replied respectfully.

  In this manor-style residence belonging to Atbold, everything cannot escape the sight of the instructor.

  His arrival is naturally included...he already knew that.

   I just don't know why I suddenly called him this time.

   "Well, in the blink of an eye, another three months have passed... Have you finished your retreat practice?" Atbold sighed, and then said:

   "If you are looking for me, don't go to the study, I'm not in the study.

   Come to the top floor of the villa, we are having a monthly party, um, there is a fat roast pigeon. "

reunion?

   "Okay, mentor." Colin quickly replied.

  Although he has been a student of Atbold for more than three months, he only knows two of the other students accepted by Atbold—Marjorie and Lilian.

   But he can't be blamed, except for the reason of opening and closing.

   It's also because Atbold barely interferes with him and doesn't assign him work.

  Plus, Atbold doesn't seem to be teaching at ordinary times.

  So he didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with more classmates.

  Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help sighing in his heart.

  Atbold is really free and leisurely here, he can hardly find any shortcomings...I don't know why there are no new apprentices joining.

  Following Atbold's instructions, he walked straight into the main building of the villa and walked towards the top floor step by step.

  As soon as I stepped on the top floor, the melodious sound of the violin came faintly, mixed with some conversation and the aroma of food.

  Following the sound and aroma, Colin paced to the outside of the middle room.

   tuk tuk tuk—

   Gently knocked on the door.

   "Come in, Colin." Atbold's voice came slowly from inside.

   Push the door and enter.

  Here is a wide hall.

  At this moment, a simple banquet is being held here, and a wide variety of food is being placed on the long square dining table.

   There are not many people, and there are no more than ten people including Atbold.

   Well, count carefully, except for the maid and Atbold, there are only four wizards left.

   Two female wizards, two male wizards.

   . . . very few, if that's all the apprentices Atbold took.

  At this moment, the apprentices were standing around Atbold, holding wine glasses or dishes in their hands.

  Beside Atbold, Lilian is holding a light brown violin.

   "Good morning, Instructor Atbold." Colin greeted respectfully.

  In fact, gatherings like this are usually arranged in the afternoon or evening.

   But here, it is in the morning... Needless to say, it must be because of Atbold.

   "Good morning, Colin." Atbold replied, holding up the silver fork in his hand, on which was a squab leg.

  Speaking of which, this was the first time he saw Atbold standing.

   It was when Atbold stood up that he realized that although the mentor was thin and stooped, his body was still tall.

  Even if he is a bit old and crooked now, he is at least 1.9 meters tall.

   "Well... relax, don't stand there, come and choose something you like to eat." Atbold added.

   "Okay." Colin nodded and walked towards the dining table.

   A maid has prepared plates and silver forks for him.

   "This is the new apprentice who joined me recently—Colin Leonard."

  When he randomly selected a few foods and walked over with a plate, Atbold took advantage of the opportunity and introduced them to others.

   "Nahum."

   "Fanny."

  Marjorie and Lilian had known him a long time ago, so they just greeted him.

  The other two wizards simply introduced their names.

  Fanny is one of the female wizards. She has an ordinary appearance and is not young to the naked eye. She is an obese figure that is rarely seen among wizards, and she has a gentle temperament.

  Nahum looked like a fair-skinned young man, but the fine lines around his eyes revealed his age.

   "Colin, this is your first time attending a party, so you may be a little confused. Let me explain a few words to you." Atbold took the initiative to explain:

   "This gathering is a tradition I have always adhered to. I established this rule nearly two hundred years ago—"

   "All the apprentices I accept need to try their best to participate in this monthly dinner."

   "I don't have a mandatory requirement to come every time, nor do I have specific requirements for the content of the party... You can simply come over for a meal, or you can chat with the rest of the apprentices, or you can ask me some questions."

   "Okay, Teacher Atbold, I understand." Colin nodded.

   "Yeah." Atbold nodded slowly, turned his head and said with a smile, "Lilian, let's go on."

  Lilian nodded, put the violin back on her shoulder, and continued to play.

  As the music sounded, the embarrassing atmosphere of being cold because of Colin's arrival gradually disappeared.

  Colin's eyes flashed, he moved to Atbold, and said in a low voice:

   "Mentor, I want to ask you something."

   "Yes, you can ask." Atebold had already sat down at this time, and he put the dishes containing the roasted pigeon on the wooden table, and responded gently.

  Colin hesitated, wondering if he should ask in front of everyone.

  There are only these few people in the hall, and they are so close together that they can hear what they are talking to each other.

   Atbold waved his hand lightly with his hesitant expression.

   "Speak, they can't hear you now."

   "Don't worry about them being intrusive, it's actually pretty common, well, at least it used to be when there were a lot of people.

  At that time, if a certain question was asked and he didn’t want others to know, I would temporarily block his voice for him. "

   "Okay, thank you, Instructor Atbold." Colin no longer hesitated, and said straight to the point:

   "I would like to ask you how to obtain the follow-up part of Xi Shengming's idea? For example, the part of advanced official wizard."

   "After meeting the requirements, you can apply to the tutor."

   Atbold replied.

   "Then I would like to apply to you for the part of obtaining the advanced official wizard of Xi Shengming's idea." Colin said.

   "Yes." Atbold said, paused and asked again: "Have you changed Xi Shengming's mind?"

   "The change is over."

   "Has the magic power been recovered?"

   "...It will take some time." Colinton replied after a pause.

  After a successful change of meditation method, the magic power level in the body usually drops to the level of a junior wizard apprentice.

  If it is a senior wizard apprentice, it usually takes about a month to return to the original level...

   But he is different. If nothing happens, he can recover his magic power tomorrow.

   This is mainly due to the fact that he didn't really change the way of meditation.

  In addition, it is worth mentioning that the new tin ring meditation method may be a fusion of two golden meditation methods,

  So its cultivation effect is excellent, almost reaching the unbelievable level.

  After the fusion this morning, I just practiced for the first time, and the wizard and other ranks went straight forward by 3 points.

   "It will take some time... When did you successfully switch meditation?" Atbold asked.

  Colin hesitated for a moment, and replied vaguely: "Just these two days."

   "Yes." Atbold nodded, his face was calm, but he sighed softly in his heart.

  He knew that Colin in front of him came from a remote island, and was an advanced wizard apprentice on a remote island... Now that he has changed his way of meditation, the probability of advancing to a formal wizard has become very small.

  Although Colin looked calm, he was still full of hope, and even came to him to get the next part after changing the meditation idea, full of enthusiasm in his heart...

  But there are some things that cannot be achieved by enthusiasm and hard work.

  ‘Damn filthy raving! '

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help cursing secretly.

  But on the surface, he still treated Colin with a gentle look, and said with a smile:

   "Recently pay attention to recovering the magic power... Meditate on the part of how to advance to an official wizard. After the party is over, I will show it to you alone."

  In fact, it is not so easy to obtain the content of the advanced official wizard part of the meditation method. There are stricter inspections and requirements, and sometimes it is necessary to complete some tasks to obtain enough credits.

  But...he was too lazy to do it, and the left and right were just the part of meditation to advance to an official wizard, just sign the contract.

   It's been so many years, but finally another apprentice is willing to come to him.

   And according to what he inquired, he was specially asked to come here... why should he be so strict.

   "Thank you, mentor!" Colin stroked his chest and bowed, thanking with difficulty concealing his joy.

  He didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He thought that there would be some assessments or tasks to get the part of Xi Shengming's idea to advance to an official wizard.

   Unexpectedly, it was just a question about the tutor!

  But things went too smoothly, which made Colin feel inexplicable and a little worried, and the problems he had before resurfaced in his mind again.

  Mr. Atbold is so good here, why haven't apprentices joined for so long?

   On the other side, after hearing his thanks, Atbold smiled, and waved away the invisible barrier of silence.

   This is a two-way silence barrier, so when it was revoked, the conversations of Marjorie and the others outside also came over immediately.

   Seems to have heard something interesting, Atbold said:

   "It sounds like you guys are talking about something interesting."
