Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a cold drizzle fell.
Noel area, the sixth tallest tower.
"You mean, you met Gram in the Corrupt Forest?" In a warm study room, with pine wood burning in the fireplace and crackling sounds, Gustav sat behind a wooden table with an expression on his face.
Somewhat weird.
"Yes, it was Gram who killed the Children of the Forest in the Corrupted Forest."
Opposite him, Enzo sat on a chair, nodded slightly and said, "Although Gram has given up his identity as a wizard, he still retains human memory and reason, so he is very aware of the current situation in [Elkila World]."
"Wizard civilization has gradually taken over the world, and all threats will be eliminated soon!"
"The reason why Gram killed the son of the forest was to show his kindness to us, and he also expressed his willingness to donate all his personal wealth in the wizarding world to express his loyalty to the wizarding civilization."
"Hmph! This guy is quite smart."
Gustav snorted coldly and said, "Gram abandoned his human body, transformed into a tree demon as a wizard, and killed extraordinary knights. This has violated the laws of the wizarding world, and his personal wealth should have been confiscated!"
"
"The mentor also knows Gram?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
"Of course, Gram embarked on the wizard's journey earlier than me. When I was still an apprentice, he was already an official wizard." Gustav nodded slightly and sighed, "Limited by the limitations of his talent, that guy's mental power has improved.
It's so slow that even Dean Mitchell concluded that he has no hope of being promoted to a second-level wizard in this life."
"But no one would have thought that he would become a second-order life form in that way!"
An expression of nostalgia appeared on Gustav's face, and then he shook his head, pondering for a moment and said: "Forget it, anyway, Gram's crime was only to kill some extraordinary knights. Since he is now willing to express his surrender to the wizard civilization, then
On behalf of the Supreme Commander of the Sixth Tower, I pardon his crimes!"
"I understand, mentor." Enzo nodded lightly.
Then, Gustave pulled out a piece of parchment from under the wooden table, signed a pardon document with a rune pen, stamped his own seal, and whistled softly.
Outside the window, a crow flew into the room and took away the pardon.
As the supreme commander of Noel City's sixth tower, Gustav's issuance of a pardon was just a trivial matter. Seeing that he still had some friendship with him, he pardoned Gram's guilt.
"Since the mission is over, I'll leave first." Enzo stroked his chest and saluted.
"Wait a minute." At this time, Gustav stopped him and said softly, "There's no need to leave in a hurry. I have other things to tell you."
Enzo raised his eyebrows and sat back in his chair.
"That's it." Gustav paused and said in a deep voice: "As the Tree of Eqira fell into silence, the Children of the Forest clan was almost extinct. This plane expedition has been carried out so far, and it can be officially declared over!
"
"The expedition is over?" Enzo raised his head, his face a little surprised.
"That's right, according to Dean Mitchell's official notification to the major towers not long ago, the wizarding civilization has completed the expedition to [Elkila World], and this world has been officially renamed [Forest World]
】.”
Gustave looked solemn and said, "The expedition has been declared over. What the wizard civilization needs to do next is to rationally develop the resources of the forest world and re-establish a new rules and order."
"In order to complete this expedition, [Phantom Crows] has tried its best and even owed a large amount of loans from the [Northern Parliament]. After announcing the end of the expedition, the college's senior officials set a century-old plan.
Use the development resources of the forest world to repay the debt within a hundred years and make [Phantoms of Crows] become a more powerful force!"
Enzo nodded slightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Now that the plane expedition has been completed, the next thing [Phantom of Crows] must do is to develop resources and establish a new order, so as to make the academy a more powerful force.
"After the expedition is over, the Iron Wall Fortress will provide thirty places to return to the wizarding world."
Immediately afterwards, Gustave said, "The Sixth Tower also got a place to return, so I want to ask your opinion, do you plan to return to the wizarding world?"
With the expedition officially coming to an end, the forest world no longer needs so many wizards, so the top wizards of the Iron Wall Fortress decided to open up a number of places to return to the wizarding world and let the wizards choose on their own.
The Sixth Tower gets a place to return, and Enzo, as Gustav's disciple, gets the first choice.
"Teacher...don't you plan to return to the wizarding world?" Enzo thought for a moment and asked hesitantly.
The most arduous and dangerous expedition battle has ended. Next, the wizarding civilization will fully develop and enjoy the resources of the forest world. Therefore, choosing to return to the wizarding world now is not necessarily a good thing.
"I have no such plans."
Gustav shook his head and said, "Besides, even if I want to leave, the academy will not allow it. After all, I am the supreme commander of the Sixth Tower and am responsible for everything in Noel City."
"Actually, judging from the current situation, the expedition is over, and returning to the wizarding world may not be a good thing."
"However, my consideration is that you have just been promoted to the second-level wizard, so you need a relatively stable environment to stabilize your realm and master some abilities and spells belonging to the second-level wizard."
"That's why I asked you if you plan to return to the wizarding world."
Enzo had a hesitant expression on his face, thinking about whether he should return to the wizarding world. There was a brief silence in the study. Gustave did not rush him, but calmly waited for Enzo's choice.
After a while, Enzo raised his head and said, "I am willing to return to the wizarding world, mentor!"
"Have you decided yet?" Gustav asked softly.
"Yes!" Enzo took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
As Gustav said before, Enzo has just been promoted to the second level wizard, and it will take at least a long time to stabilize his realm. Although the forest world will be stable after the expedition, it lacks the resources unique to the wizard world.
.
For example, advanced witchcraft model!
Although Enzo was promoted to a second-level wizard, it was only a breakthrough in mental power, and his own magical abilities were extremely lacking. At this time, he did not even master a second-level witchcraft.
"When is the date of return to the wizarding world?" Enzo asked.
"You can do it at any time." Gustav shook his head and said, "This time when you return to the wizarding world from the forest world, you don't need to take a floating ark to travel through the space wormhole, you can just use the portal!"
"Portal?" Enzo's eyes lit up.
"That's right, the first portal has been established on the side of the Iron Wall Fortress, connecting the wizard world and the forest world. It only takes a moment to return to the wizard world through the portal!" Gustav said.
"So convenient?" Enzo was a little surprised.
"The teleportation gate is indeed very convenient, but each teleportation requires the consumption of a lot of magic stones, so the users are limited to formal wizards and above. Extraordinary knights who want to rebel against the two worlds still need to ride on the floating ark." Gustav said.
Enzo nodded slightly, suddenly understanding.
"Okay, if you plan to return to the wizarding world, leave for the Iron Wall Fortress as soon as possible." Gustave said as he took out a silver medal from his arms and threw it to Enzo and said, "This medal
It represents a return quota. Give it to the fortress and you will get a chance to use the portal!"
"I understand, mentor." Enzo took the silver medal and put it away carefully.
...
After leaving the Sixth Tower, Enzo was not in a hurry to go to the Iron Wall Fortress.
Although he has decided to return to the wizarding world, he still has many things to deal with before leaving the forest world, the most important of which is the tree of Sanizo.
"Do you want to be with me?" Under the giant tree, Enzo looked up and looked ahead.
The tree of Sanizo, which is as huge as a mountain, stands quietly on the ground. Between the lush canopy, a crow whose body is as green as emerald is squatting and jumping on the branches.
"If Master Enzo wants to leave, please be sure to take Sani with you!"
The Emerald Crow flapped its wings and landed on Enzo's shoulder. He tilted his head and said, "The days of being trapped in the body of a giant tree are so boring. Sani still likes to be with Master Enzo."
"Is that so?" Enzo stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.
As the Sanizo Tree awakened under the opportunity of the drastic changes in the world, it has obviously officially evolved into a third-level life form. Just like the parent body of the giant tree, it possesses an extremely powerful physique and spirit.
However, as a giant tree-like life form, even if it is promoted to a third-level life form, the Sanizo Tree is still difficult to move.
Under normal circumstances, it stands quietly on the ground, spending most of its time in a sleep-like state to slow down the body's energy consumption. This was also the way the giant tree's parent used to survive.
But there is one difference between the tree of Sanizo and the parent body of the giant tree, and that is the tree spirit between the two.
Since the birth of the giant tree's mother body, it has evolved step by step into a third-order life form over a long period of time. The tree spirit consciousness formed in its body has long been accustomed to loneliness, so even if it sleeps for a hundred years, it will not be enough for the giant tree's mother body.
Just at the snap of a finger.
But the Sanizo Tree is different!
The tree spirit Sani was born less than a year ago. Like a newborn baby, it is full of curiosity about the world. It would undoubtedly be very cruel to be forced to sleep in the body of a giant tree.
After Enzo pondered for a moment, he finally nodded and said, "Since you don't want to stay in the body of the giant tree, then come back to the wizarding world with me."
As a living entity that evolved from the green forest world, the Sanizo Tree cannot leave this world as a basic rule.
However, such restrictions only apply to its body. As a tree spirit, Sani will not be targeted by the rules of the wizarding world as long as she is attached to her owner Enzo.
After Enzo made his decision, he left the body of the Sanizo Tree in the Green Forest World.
This giant tree at the level of third-order life forms will become the guardian of Nuoer City. Although it is not controlled by the tree spirit, according to the instructions left by Enzo, it sleeps under normal circumstances. When Nuoer City is attacked
will resist.
After settling the matter with the Sanizo Tree, Enzo returned to his wizard tower.
In a study room, Enzo summoned the fallen spirit butler.
"While I am away from the forest world, you will be in charge of the Wizard Tower." Enzo was sitting on a chair, not far away the fallen spirit housekeeper Sa Ling was prostrate on the ground, quietly listening to the order.
"As you wish, Master." Saling replied respectfully.
Afterwards, Enzo explained a series of things, and Sa Ling wrote them down one by one. After confirming that everything was arranged properly, Enzo set off for the Iron Wall Fortress.
...
The law!
Half a month later, amidst the neighing of the iron-clawed demon horse, Enzo arrived at the Iron-walled Great Wall Fortress. Looking at the extremely majestic fortress wall in front of him and the newly established city not far away, he felt a little emotional in his heart.
"More than thirty years have passed, and the changes here have been huge!"
Enzo turned over and jumped off the Iron Claw Demon Horse. Swain transformed into a crow again and landed on his shoulder. Looking at the city not far away that was even more spectacular than Noel City, Enzo murmured to himself.
.
"After the wizarding civilization takes control of the forest world, this city will also become the center of power!"
Ahead, the City of Phantom Crow stands on the ground. The magnificent giant city is like a miracle. Ever since the Tree of Eqira fell silent and the wizarding civilization took control of the world, Dean Mitchell ordered the construction of this city on the border of the fortress.
.
The core of the forest world, the City of Phantom Crow!
"Is this the City of Phantom Crows? It's so beautiful!" At this time, the Emerald Crow Sani emerged from Enzo's chest and looked at the majestic city not far away, its green eyes flashing with light.
Immediately afterwards, Sani flew onto Enzo's right shoulder.
The exclusive position that originally belonged to Swain was invaded by outsiders. Tinos Crow immediately spread its wings, assumed an intimidating posture, and said fiercely: "This is my position, go away, you ugly guy"
Stupid bird!"
"Ugly silly bird? Are you talking about me?"
Sani flapped her wings angrily, and her whole body suddenly flashed with green light, as if a vine-like plant appeared on Swain, and with a burst of frightened screams, she tied him up tightly.
Bang! Bang!!
Two slender green vines were swung like whips, hitting Swain's body. Black feathers flew up immediately, causing Swain to cry out in pain.
"Help! Enzo, help me!"
"That's enough, Sani, you two, stop making trouble." Enzo covered his forehead helplessly, reached out to grab Swain, and pulled away the vines wrapped around it. After a brief inspection, he found that it was not injured, that is.
No more worries.
"Hmph!" Sani occupied her right shoulder and puffed out her chest proudly.
"...I don't have the same knowledge as you." Several feathers on Swain's body were blown away. After seeing the power of the Emerald Crow, it did not dare to provoke any more, and fell to En in despair.
