In the vast stable, Anthony, who was embracing a woman, was utterly astonished; even his handso face slightly distorted.
In his eyes, Renee was just a re maid... Colin had shown such disrespect!
He couldn't fathom where that confidence ca from!
It took a while, but Anthony finally ca back to his senses.
Watching Colin's retreating figure leaving the stable, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
But he didn't rush to act out. Instead, he raised his hand to check the detailed feedback coming from the Trojan Reconnaissance Bracelet Type 2 on his left wrist.
A mont later, a more detailed investigation result transmitted onto his retina.
[Target's strength: Advanced Wizard Apprentice.]
The strength hadn't changed; the detection still showed the sa realm as his, that of an Advanced Wizard Apprentice.
Only, there was a small line of notes added below.
[Note: Target's body surface exhibits fluctuations of an old-model Audrich Crystal illusion.]
'So that's it.'
Seeing this new line of information appear before him, Anthony realized the situation.
No wonder Colin was so confident!
He probably planned to wait for him to make a move, then use the Audrich Crystal to mimic the aura of an actual Wizard, forcing him to retreat, recognizing the difficulty...
A slight, contemptuous smile curled at the corner of Anthony's mouth.
'Wizards from such small places really have no experience...'
He wasn't lying; he indeed was a genuine School Wizard from Miracle City.
Although it had been a long ti since he left Miracle City, he still felt a sense of superiority over Wizards from other places.
Throughout the world, the most cutting-edge technologies and knowledge of Wizards mostly originated from Miracle City.
And they were constantly being updated and iterated.
The Audrich Crystal was no exception.
Although it was an extrely excellent Witch Tool for disguise, when it first appeared, even ordinary First Rank Wizards couldn't see through it.
But Witch Tools were also constantly innovating and progressing.
The Trojan Reconnaissance Bracelet Type 2 he had spent a fortune on in Miracle City, although not the latest model,
had no trouble seeing through the antique Audrich Crystal Colin wore, no matter how old it might be!
Anthony's gaze flickered.
He released the arm around the glamorous woman and smiled at her.
"Darling, continue choosing the horse you like here. Once you've picked one, go back by yourself first...
I have so matters to deal with."
After speaking, he followed in the direction where Colin and the others had departed.
"Of course, Lord Anthony."
...
Inside a restaurant.
"These are what I learned today about the Holy Fla Kingdom... all told to by my father this morning."
At the window seat of the private room, Connie spoke to Colin sitting across from her.
"I understand," Colin put down his knife and fork, his expression sowhat serious; he paused before asking,
"When exactly did the war start?"
"News of the war ca yesterday; they said the fighting had just begun.
But taking into account the ti it took for the ssage to reach us, the war has probably been going on for at least ten days..."
"Thank you, Princess Connie; this is very useful for ," Colin sincerely thanked her.
His face seed calm, but inwardly he was anxious.
'I didn't expect that the Holy Fla Kingdom would actually be at war with the neighboring Qi'an Kingdom...'
He exhaled gently, looking at Connie with a serious voice.
"Princess Connie, I have so very important business in the Holy Fla Kingdom, so I might have to leave ahead."
With the current situation in the Holy Fla Kingdom, he couldn't afford any further delays... the sooner the better.
Otherwise, if the Holy Fla Kingdom were defeated, then completing his task of delivering the letter for Erica would be much more difficult.
It was unfortunate, but there was no helping it; he couldn't possibly reach the Holy Fla Kingdom right away.
If going by the speed of the horses he had selected today,
the trip from Yili Kingdom to the Holy Fla Kingdom would roughly take another seven days...
He couldn't help but sigh.
'If only I had a horse with a Demon Beast's bloodline; at least that would save two to three days of travel.'
But now... there was no ti left to search for a better horse.
As he pondered this, Colin stood up, prepared to hurry and set off at once.
"Princess Connie, I'll be leaving now," he said to Connie once again.
"So soon..."
Connie on the other side only then ca to her senses, a hint of surprise in her expression.
They had just sat down not too long ago and had only ordered two dishes.
But seeing Colin's earnest expression, she refrained from holding him back and instead offered a smile, saying to Colin:
"I wish you a smooth journey,"
"If you pass by Yili Kingdom in the future, you are welco to co and share with the sights and experiences of your travels."
Connie's smile was warm and sweet, making her otherwise ordinary features much more appealing.
But if one were to look closely, they could still catch that unnoticeable hint of loneliness in the depths of her light blue eyes.
Despite her usual pasti of taking the train to wander around Yili Kingdom, making Wizard friends,
in truth, she has never really left the Yili Kingdom since she was a child…
Not even once.
Although the region of Yili Kingdom is quite devoid of magical power, resulting in fewer Demon Beasts,
for ordinary people, traveling in the wild without the protection of Wizards is almost entirely reliant on luck.
And for this reason, she has only moved within the limited scope around the Kingdom.
Going any further would be courting death.
...Yili Kingdom may be large, but to her, it's just a tiny island.
