Chapter 242 Return to the Academy
The next few days were uneventful.
After six days, the floating ark finally reached its destination, stopped flying in the sky, and then began to slowly fall.
boom!
The floating ark fell to the ground, and the cabin shook.
"Here it is." As the crowd walked down the stairs, Enzo looked at the scene in front of him, the expression on his face suddenly froze.
Ahead, what should have been a forest of mist, now turned into a barren plain.
The lush forest was completely destroyed, and the ground was full of potholes, all traces of the outbreak of witchcraft. Not far away, there was a group of minotaur creatures with collars, carrying logs and stones, working under the supervision of supervisors. .
"It seems that this war is more intense than I imagined!" Enzo thought to himself.
The war between the three major organizations that lasted for a year destroyed the entire Mist Forest, and those tall slave creatures with bull heads seemed to be carrying out construction work on the ruins.
"Because of this war, the Forest of Mist has been destroyed."
At this time, Ural seemed to notice the surprise of the apprentices, and took the initiative to explain: "The dean purchased a group of alien slaves from a different world dominated by wizards, and planned to rebuild a giant city on the ruins of the Mist Forest. "
Then, everyone walked forward.
Along the way, Enzo saw many alien humanoids, all wearing witchcraft collars around their necks, numbly carrying out construction work, and there were some apprentices around them as overseers.
After walking for a long time, the shadow of the academy finally appeared in front of us.
The once giant rock wall has been destroyed, leaving the academy exposed in a clearing. Towers belonging to wizards have risen one after another, but some of them have also been damaged to varying degrees.
"Have the other two major organizations invaded the academy?" Enzo felt a chill in his heart.
This time the war was mediated by the parliament, and the senior leaders of the college must have breathed a sigh of relief. Even [Phantoms of Crows] could not bear to fight against the other two organizations on their own.
"Okay, let's stop here."
The Ural wizard stopped and said, "The last war did not affect the living area, so the dormitory building where the apprentices live has not been damaged. You can go back to rest first and wait for the next notice from the college."
Then, he turned around and left.
The apprentices were also scattered in place, dealing with their own affairs. Isaac planned to go to the market hall first to buy some equipment that could improve his strength.
"My dormitory is in Building 37, No. 125. You can come to me in the evening." Before leaving, Caroline gave Enzo an address and winked playfully.
Enzo shook his head and threw the note into his pocket.
"Let's visit the mentor first." He thought for a while and walked towards the Gustav Wizard Tower.
Not far away, Enzo suddenly saw a tall, familiar figure in front of him. He stopped and hesitantly shouted, "Bern?"
The tall figure turned around, and it turned out to be Prince Bourne who came with him in the same boat.
However, Bourne at this time was very different from his previous appearance. First of all, there was a long and narrow scar on his face, which made his handsome appearance a bit ferocious. Also, the left half of his body seemed to have undergone terrible mechanical transformation. , a metal arm is connected to the shoulder.
"You are Enzo!" Bourne thought for a moment, his eyes brightening slightly.
Enzo nodded and said hesitantly: "Why did you become like this?"
"Oh, it's just some witchcraft transformation, nothing." Bourne waved his hand carelessly and said, "Before the war came, I lost my arm because of a mission, and I paid a lot of money to replace it with a metal arm, so I did it by the way. Made some mechanical modifications.”
"By the way, how is Jorah?" Enzo asked.
"Jorah? He is very good!" A smile appeared on Bourne's face and said, "In the previous war, Jorah's strength improved very quickly, and he is now the leader among the third-level apprentices. Without his help , I might have died in the hands of [Skull Castle].”
"Jorah was promoted to third-level apprentice?" Enzo was a little surprised.
"Yes, me too." Bourne nodded.
Although war is full of dangers, it is the easiest way to give birth to strong men. In addition, the academy's military merit system has given many people opportunities. In this short year, not only did the strength of many apprentices skyrocketed, but even some veteran third-level apprentices became famous because of this. Promoted to an official wizard.
However, the premise is that they can survive the war.
"Where are the others?" Enzo asked, referring to those who came with him.
"Almost all the people who took the ghost ship like us died." Bourne shrugged and said softly, "Qarth, Threton, Rowling, and some others."
Enzo's face darkened, and then he asked, "Where is Myrcella?"
"I don't know." Bourne shook his head and said, "In the early days of the war, I met Myrcella a few times. Her Ruby Highness has the best talent and should be the most powerful among us. The fastest one."
"However, her acting style was too radical, and I don't know if she survived the war."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words, and then separated.
After experiencing the baptism of war, Bourne has changed a lot in terms of personality and body. It seems that he has completely abandoned his behavior as a mortal and is moving closer to a wizard.
Following the direction in his memory, Enzo headed to Gustav's tower.
Soon, a dilapidated white tower appeared in front.
The towering wizard tower that once stood here was now only half left. The surface of the tower was full of cracks and black marks of burning, which obviously experienced the destruction of war.
"Even the wizard tower of the mentor." Enzo's eyes fixed.
At the entrance, two shadow servants were floating. Enzo stepped forward and took out the medal in his arms to show his identity.
Then, the shadow servant took him into the white tower.
Following the broken stairs, Enzo came to the outside of a room. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Is it Enzo? Come in." Gustav's hoarse voice came from the room.
Enzo pushed the door and entered. This was a place similar to a study. The surrounding space was not large. Except for two rows of bookshelves and a table, there was almost nothing extra.
"I felt your presence when I first entered the White Tower."
Behind the table, Gustav, with his hair disheveled, said hoarsely, "I never thought that in a year, you, who had not experienced the baptism of war, would be promoted to a third-level apprentice."
"Teacher." Enzo stepped forward and saluted with his chest.
"Sit down." Gustav said lightly, and the shadow servant next to him immediately brought a chair for Enzo to sit down.
