The Bizarre Wizarding World

Chapter 549 - 359 Successfully Advanced

After leaving Isidore's residence, Colin plunged headfirst into the laboratory.

The problem with Miracle was simple—it required adding a structure that could independently extract energy from the outside world to sustain itself.

However, the actual operation was extremely complex, requiring attention to numerous details.

Such elemental puppets were equivalent to humans without the ability to eat, lacking esophagi, stomachs, or intestines.

—And they did not exist at the genetic level.

It was no easy feat to add a self-consistent and stable energy extraction structure to them afterward.

Colin sat behind the silvery-white laboratory table, closing his eyes to inspect the Summoning Ice Element crystal.

Somehow, he felt he was growing fonder of studying witchcraft.

Challenging commissions like Miracle's didn't deter him; they instead stimulated his interest.

A smooth, uneventful life and a life that could be seen from beginning to end were equally dull.

Some challenges were more exciting!

However, Colin soon encountered his first problem.

The next day, at Isidore's residence.

Colin frowned at Isidore, paused, then spoke gravely,

"If I cannot access Miracle, I cannot proceed with my re

She also paused, setting down the forked meat, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "That depends on whether I can find a suitable faction."

"You are already a Silver Feather, you have much more choice than before," Atbolde added.

Lillian looked somewhat disheartened.

Atbolde did not avoid Colin and continued, "The Rudolph Family is a thing of the past, but you need to keep moving forward, Lillian."

Then Atbolde turned his head towards Colin and continued, "Colin, the same goes for you."

"As you climb higher, you will find resources are scarce and the journey challenging..."

The charcoal in the grill burned, Atbolde's voice lingering.

After a while, Lillian remained silent for a moment and then nodded, "I understand, Grandfather."

Was the glory of the Family possibly irrecoverable?

Lillian didn't know, but she cherished the memories of when her parents were around, during which the Rudolph Family, even at its weakest, was greater than others; moreover, with her father being a Golden Feather, there seemed to be signs of a resurgence...

But all vanished like a fleeting dream, disappearing without a trace.

For the subsequent decades, Lillian lived under the discrimination against mixed blood, with occasional kindness often tainted with malicious intents.

"The Rudolph Family will not disappear," she silently affirmed to herself, the joy of advancing to Second Rank Wizard suddenly transforming into a heavy responsibility.

Perhaps Grandfather Atbolde no longer yearned for the family to regain its former glory, and she might also not be able to restore the Rudolph Family's past honors.

But at the very least... at the very least, she wanted to prove to those people that she could still become a High Rank Wizard, that being of mixed blood didn't inherently make her inferior!

Lillian's complex psychological turmoil was, of course, unknown to Colin.

He merely sensed Atbolde's gaze and nodded in agreement.

After all, Atbolde had no other intentions but to hope that they could continue moving forward, living better and climbing higher.

However, only Colin knew his own situation.

He had not changed his mind.

Compared to the path of joining a faction, which for most meant an easier route, the path he was currently on was the better one for him.
