Half an hour later, a figure walked out of the White Tower.
After Enzo made his choice, Gustave was not too surprised. After a few brief explanations, he took out an old silver dagger and ordered him to give the token to Wizard Donald at the mission.
.
"We can't delay the mission, we must leave the Mist Forest as soon as possible!"
Walking on the black stone road, Enzo quickly headed towards the mission. At this time, the atmosphere in the academy was extremely tense. The apprentices around him had their heads lowered and were walking in a hurry, and most of them had unconcealable anxiety and fear on their faces.
"Once the war breaks out, I don't know how many apprentices will die."
There was a trace of pity in Enzo's eyes, but then he became determined. He was just a small second-level apprentice. He could not change the fate of others. At most, he could only be alone.
He raised his head and saw the mission hall in front of him.
Walking straight in, Enzo looked around. There was almost no one in the mission hall at this time. Most of the missions on the notice board were displayed in gray, indicating that there was no choice. The few bright red fonts were all related to war.
"What mission do you want to take on?" A man in gray robe asked expressionlessly in front of the counter.
"Hello, I want to see Wizard Donald." Enzo whispered.
"Hmph! Another guy who overestimates his capabilities." The man in gray robe snorted and sneered, "The Forest of Mist is going to be under martial law soon. If you want to go through the back door, I advise you to give up. What's more, Mr. Donald is the one you want to see."
Can you see it?"
"I am a disciple of Master Gustav, please help me." Enzo took out a cloth bag from his arms and placed it on the counter without leaving any trace.
"Stop doing this, put it away!"
The gray-robed apprentice glanced at it, but his expression didn't change and he shook his head.
Enzo ate a soft nail, his expression suddenly froze, his thoughts changed, he gritted his teeth and took out three magic potions from the space ring, and put them together with the pocket full of magic stones.
"Magic potion?" The gray-robed apprentice's eyes lit up.
The war is coming, and the value of magic stones will decrease, but the finished medicine is different. This thing is a life-saving trump card, and the price has continued to soar in recent times, and has reached the point where it is priceless and has no market.
"Ahem! In this case, I will inform you."
The gray-robed apprentice put away the bag and potion and whispered, "However, I don't guarantee that Lord Donald will agree to see you. Recently, many people have come through the back door, but no one has succeeded."
"Sorry to trouble you." Enzo said.
Then, the gray-robed apprentice walked to the second floor of the hall, and it took half an hour for him to come back. He smiled kindly at Enzo and said, "Come up, Lord Donald has agreed to see you."
Enzo was overjoyed and quickly walked up to the second floor of the hall.
The gray-robed apprentice was not with him, so Enzo came to Wizard Donald's office alone, knocked on the door, and after receiving permission to enter, opened the door and walked in.
Behind a desk, Donald was sitting on a chair drinking tea.
"Are you Gustave's disciple?" Donald put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Enzo, and asked quietly, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"I hope to get a mission far away from the foggy forest." Taking a deep breath, Enzo got straight to the point.
"Ha! Another self-righteous idiot." Donald raised his lips and sneered, "The college has prepared for war, and the Forest of Mist is about to be under martial law. Why do you think you are qualified to leave the college at this time?"
"Many people have come to me during this period. What do you think happened to them?"
"If it weren't for Gustave's sake, I wouldn't have seen you at all." After saying that, Donald's eyes showed a trace of pity, as if he was lamenting Enzo's overestimation of his abilities.
Enzo remained silent and silently took out the silver dagger Gustave gave him.
"Huh?" Donald's pupils shrank, as if he was a little surprised, and he frowned and said, "Is this what Gustave gave you? In order to send you out of the Forest of Mist, does he plan to use this favor?"
"The instructor asked me to give this to you." Enzo took a step forward honestly and put the dagger on the desk.
The expression on Donald's face changed, and he looked at Enzo with a strange look. After a while, he reached out and put away the dagger on the table, and said in an indifferent tone: "Since this is Gustave's request, there is nothing to say.
"
"This task should meet your requirements, take it."
Saying that, Donald still produced a scroll.
Enzo caught the white scroll and opened it. A detailed mission information was recorded on it. This seemed to be a garrison mission, which required Enzo to go to a place called Thunder City and stay there for three years.
"Thank you, Lord Wizard Donald."
Carefully putting away the white scroll as a voucher for the mission, Enzo solemnly thanked him.
"You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank, just thank your mentor." Donald shook his head and said quietly, "It seems that your status in Gustav's heart is very high. For you, he actually used it."
I owe you a favor."
"After seventy years, I finally repaid this life-saving grace!"
Enzo was startled and raised his head suddenly.
"What? Didn't Gustav tell you?" Donald raised his eyebrows, picked up the teacup and said, "When we were apprentices, we performed a mission together. He saved me once, so I owe him a favor.
"
"So that's it." Enzo murmured.
A touch of emotion arose in his heart, and then he understood the weight of this favor. The life-saving grace of a formal wizard was enough to exchange for too many things. He did not expect that Gustav would use it for himself.
After leaving the mission hall, Enzo returned to the living area.
He first went to Bourne's residence and planned to say goodbye, but for some unknown reason, Bourne was not in the dormitory, so Enzo could only leave a note and two potions.
Then, he found Jorah again.
After Enzo explained his intention to leave, Jorah didn't react much. His mentality was a bit weird. He didn't have the fear of war that ordinary apprentices have, but looked impatient.
"The battlefield is chaotic, so be more careful."
Enzo patted Jorah on the shoulder and stuffed three magic potions into his pocket.
"Don't worry about me, Enzo." Jorah said with firm eyes, "Although war is dangerous, it also represents opportunities. I will definitely survive and become an official wizard!"
Enzo sighed slightly in his heart and said nothing more.
Winnie's death seemed to have greatly touched Jorah. The cynical young man he once was had disappeared, and was replaced by a wizard apprentice bent on pursuing power.
After saying goodbye to his friends, Enzo returned to his residence.
“I don’t know when I can come back again!”
Looking at everything familiar in front of him, Enzo felt a little emotional. He simply packed his bag and stuffed everything he could into the space ring, then took a deep breath and turned around to leave.
