Journey to the witch world

"Crow Feather? Trial?" Enzo frowned.

Due to a year of hard training in the Tomb of the Phantom Crow, Enzo knew nothing about the outside world, and the words spoken by Carl felt extremely unfamiliar to him.

Next to him, Karl had already dragged his luggage away.

Enzo shook his head and said to himself, "Forget it, I'll have time to inquire about the news later. Let's take a rest first and then go visit Master Gustav."

Opening the dormitory door, Enzo walked in.

Compared with before, the dormitory had no changes, except for a little more dust. Enzo casually released a cleaning witchcraft, and the room suddenly took on a new look.

Then, he came to the window, opened the window and thought.

A moment later, in the sky not far away, a black shadow flew over quickly, passed through the window and landed on the ground, stumbling and turning into a large golden retriever dog without a tail.

"Woo! You're finally back, Enzo." The golden retriever looked very excited and kept pushing its head towards him.

"It seems that your appetite should be good during my absence." Enzo chuckled, looked at the golden retriever dog's bloated body, and touched its head.

After a year of hard training in the Tomb of the Phantom Crow, Enzo could not take Swain with him.

So before going to the Tomb of the Phantom Crow, he left Swain free in the academy and asked Bourne to help take care of it. Tinos Crow, who had not been seen for a year, seemed to have gained a lot of weight.

"Woo! Bourne gave me a lot of delicious food." The big golden retriever stuck out his tongue and said excitedly, "During your absence, I have passed the infancy stage, and now I have several transformed forms!"

"I can turn into an elephant, do you want to see it?"

As he spoke, the golden retriever took a few steps back and stood up on its legs, as if it was about to turn into an elephant in the room at the next moment. Enzo was so frightened that he stopped it quickly.

"You will have a lot of time to show me your transformed form in the future, but you should return to your original form now."

Bang!

The big golden retriever turned into a black-feathered crow, fluttering its wings and landing on Enzo's shoulder.

"Next, let's go visit the mentor first."

Enzo thought for a moment, then left the dormitory. Following the direction in his memory, he soon arrived at the northern area of ​​the college, outside Gustav's tower.

"Instructor Tafu of the ancient temple has been promoted to the second level wizard!"

"According to the rules of the academy, he is already qualified to establish a wizard family. However, with the character of the mentor, he should not have such an idea in a short time after the deaths of Senior Gumundo and Senior Byron."

Gustav's Tower has changed a lot compared to before.

Enzo originally planned to enter it directly, but after getting closer, he discovered that the door at the entrance of the tower was locked, with a copper ring of an alien beast hanging on it.

Boom, boom, boom!

He moved the copper ring and knocked. The strange beast on the door glowed with white light. The obsidian eyes opened, as if they came to life, projecting a ray of light that scanned Enzo's whole body.

"New visitor, please wait patiently!" The alien beast copper ring made a dull sound.

"A demonized item?" Enzo raised his eyebrows. The copper ring of alien beasts on the door at the entrance to the tower seemed to be a demonized item, its function similar to the Eye of Twilight in Thunder City.

After a moment, the door was opened.

Through the gap between the doors, a small head poked out.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" The owner of the voice is a girl, who looks to be only eleven or two years old. She has long silver-white hair, looks sweet and cute, and is wearing a white apprentice robe.

"Where is Master Gustave?" Enzo asked with a frown.

"My mentor has gone on a mission. Who are you?" the silver-haired girl asked timidly.

"Your mentor? Gustave has accepted a new female disciple?" Enzo raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "My name is Enzo, and I am the second disciple of mentor Gustave!"

"Senior Enzo?"

The silver-haired girl's eyes lit up, she opened the door and introduced herself, "Hello, senior, my name is Sonia, and I am the sixth disciple of Master Gustav!"

"The sixth disciple? So, the mentor has accepted four disciples in one year?" Enzo was a little surprised.

"That's right, senior, come in first." Sonia nodded, motioned for Enzo to enter the tower, then led him to a quiet room, and quickly served tea and water.

"It seems that Tutor Gustav has been very busy this year!" Sitting on the sofa, Enzo picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Actually, not only Mentor Gustav, but also other mentors in the academy have been very busy after the war between the three major organizations ended." Sonia stood respectfully aside.

"Tell me, what happened in the past year?"

Enzo put down the tea cup in his hand and asked softly, "I heard an apprentice say before, what is the 'Crow Feather' and 'Trial' about? How could the mentor accept four disciples in a row within one year?"

"This is college policy!"

Sonia explained, "Due to the previous war, the college lost many apprentices and wizards. In order to restore the state of the college as soon as possible, the dean issued a policy."

"The dean has distributed a lot of 'crow feathers' in the Dark Realm. Whether it is a wandering apprentice or a member of the wizard family, as long as you can get a crow feather, you can go to [Phantom of Crows] and get a 'trial' Chance!"

"And if someone can pass the academy's trial, he can become a true member of [Phantom of Crows]!"

"So that's it." Enzo nodded slightly and immediately understood what Crow Feather and the trial were about.

The war severely damaged the vitality of the college. In order to restore the state as soon as possible, the dean decided to recruit a group of fresh blood. Using Crow Feather to set up obstacles and screening through trials can ensure the quality of the members who join the college.

"So, it is the dean's order for the master to accept you as his disciples?" Enzo asked again.

"Yes, every instructor in the academy has a task target and must accept a certain number of disciples." Sonia nodded and said softly, "In fact, under normal circumstances, every first-order wizard-level instructor must accept a certain number of disciples." , all need to recruit at least five apprentices as disciples, while second-level wizards need ten people."

"Instructor Gustav still has six targets to complete, but he doesn't seem to like that there are too many people in the tower, so he would rather go out to perform tasks to offset the targets than agree to the academy giving him another apprentice."

"It sounds like he has the character of a mentor." Enzo smiled bitterly.

Based on such a long time together, Enzo also had a certain understanding of Gustave's temperament. Although he attached great importance to relationships, his personality was a bit indifferent and he was unwilling to be bound to too many people.

Before the war, he had been a first-level wizard for a long time, but he only had two disciples in total.
