elf successor

Gus stayed on the roof for a few more hourglasses before going back, and in the process solved the curse of a thousand gold coins.

······

Spring is passing and autumn is coming, and the date agreed with Eve is getting closer and closer. In the past few months, Gus's strength has been able to achieve the certification of the Gray Ring. However, Gus did not do so, not because he was afraid of failure, but because once he obtained the certification, The rings of the ring wizards would be unified under the management of the Mage Alliance, but Gus didn't want to, at least not until he returned from the Netherworld Mountains.

The other side of the Netherworld Mountains was full of dangers, which could not be accurately described. In fact, Gus never thought he could come back from there.

Just try your best, or risk your life at the worst.

Gus opened his eyes. The autumn wind was bleak, and a grain of sand flew into the castle and landed accurately in Gus's eyes. He rubbed his eyes, stood up slowly, stood by the window, and looked at the butterfly flowers growing vigorously under the caterpillar area. Feeling relaxed.

The seeds sown in early spring have gone through a full summer and finally sprouted seedlings in autumn. Although there are not many, every seed is scattered, but it is a good sign after all. Gus believes that by next year, this area will definitely be covered with butterfly clothes. Hua, Eve probably liked that scene, and Gu Yu definitely wouldn’t hate it either.

The witch staff hung on his body, three green leaves swayed slightly, and he jumped up to the castle. When nothing happened, Gus still liked to stay here, and it never changed.

A tree-trunk-like witch wand lay across her knees, green leaves were fluttering, and the wind carried a faint fragrance of butterfly flowers.

"Gus, do you want to go to class?" Linlang and the other three stood on the street and shouted to Gus.

Gus looked at the three people, simply closed his eyes, and called out to them every day. They were not tired, and Gus felt his ears were stiff. Seeing Gus like this, the three of them walked towards Heimo happily. Lou, in ordinary days, they really have nothing interesting to do.

However, the daily knowledge of wizards has left them with no other energy to do other things.

The courses for intermediate wizard apprentices were already quite profound and difficult to understand. The three of them staggered along the wizard road with difficulty.

However, Gus has not been to the Black Ink Building since the hunting ground. Gus can understand the knowledge after just a few glances. Even if he has never seen the terms before, the explanation will immediately pop up in his mind.

All knowledge always has a sense of familiarity.

Jiedan held up the green wizard hat that was blown askew by the wind, waved at Gus and chased after him.

After another year, the three of them have already established themselves in the realm of intermediate apprentices.

……

"It's almost winter."

Guyu's voice came from behind.

She didn't know what agreement Gus and Eve had made in winter. After returning from the hunting ground, she didn't ask, but this day was deeply rooted in her heart. She always felt that it was still early, but now she saw that winter was getting closer and closer. , Gu Yu became panicked unconsciously.

This thought lingered in my mind all day long and I couldn't get rid of it, so I had to run to the caterpillar area to see Gus.

Gus had long been used to Gu Yu's sudden appearance behind him. He still had his legs on the edge of the castle, tapping the witch wand leisurely.

"Yeah, almost."

Gu Yu sat opposite Gus, looked at him from a distance, hesitated for a while, and then said: "You, what are you going to do with Eve?" After a pause, Gu Yu brushed his hair and said again in confusion. : "When winter comes, I'm going to take you to inspect the legion. After all, you are my deputy general. You can't, you can't be unfamiliar with military affairs."

"Where are your troops stationed?"

Gus had never asked about the "legendary" Third Legion. He had mentioned it to Bieber before, and the guy was drawing a blueprint at the time. He just said yes and didn't ask any more questions. So now, Gus is interested in The army he served in was unfamiliar.

I only know that its legion commander is named Gu Yu.

"The Third Army of the Massa Empire has been guarding Kyoto, so I want you to follow me back to Hansti City in the winter."

Gus knew that Hansti City was the capital of the Massa Empire, the center of the entire empire, but it was right to say that Gu Yu was as strong as a senior apprentice, how could he possibly suppress the bloodthirsty border troops.

The third legion belongs directly to the royal family, so it makes sense to hand it over to Gu Yu. Gu Yu is the only princess of the Massa Empire, and her status is naturally delicate. It can be seen that the Emperor of Felixsburg dotes on his daughter.

“If it’s not winter, it’s better to do it now.”

Gus took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Gu Yu apologetically, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Then what are you going to do in the winter?"

Gu Yu blurted out these words, stood up quickly, and stared directly at Gus. But in an instant, Gu Yu coughed dryly, his eyes drifted away, and his voice became softer, "What are you going to do in winter?"

"Go do something."

"When are you coming back."

Gus thought for a long time before shaking his head, "I don't know."

"Don't know? If you don't tell me the reason, I won't allow you to step out of the academy. Otherwise, you will be dealt with by military law." Serious but mischievous, a sharp flash flashed in Gu Yu's eyes. Gus and Eve were placed on the table. The information of the two people has been turned over by Guyu.

The town was raided by barbarians. Only Gus and Eve in the whole town were rescued by Wizard Anda, and the rest were all captured. Gu Yu had always had a suspicion in his heart. Until this moment, looking at Gus's gloomy face , feeling increasingly panicked.

"You need to go to the Ghost Mountains."

"is not it?"

Gu Yu looked at Gus quietly, her voice already laced with tears. Two years ago, many small towns in Jebeldan were massacred, but the empire had no intention of sending troops. When the barbarians retreated, they stopped What follows seems to be a direct abandonment of the people of the former empire, regardless of their concerns.

Two years ago, when Gu Yu heard the news, his heart was calm. At this time, winning or losing a match was not important.

Now, she felt some regret in her heart. She was afraid that Gus would ask her why the empire didn't send troops, and she was afraid that Gus would ask her why there was no response from the imperial military.

Gus looked into Gu Yu's eyes and said, "You shouldn't care about these things."

"You are my lieutenant, please don't go, okay? Or wait a few years, and I will ask my father to give you an army, and I will definitely be able to rescue them by then."

At this time, Gu Yu could no longer control his trembling body, and his words contained prayer.

The bleak autumn wind blew across Gus's face.

"Go back. When I come back, I will go to Hansti City to find you. I will not forget what I promised to Wizard Anda."

"You're crazy. Believe it or not, I ordered someone to arrest Eve."

Gus didn't answer. He put his hands behind his head and looked at the clear blue sky. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Tabor has never been forgotten in his memory, and Baron Bisso has never disappeared. In his memory, the two of them have a very important weight.

It wasn't until the setting sun set that Gu Yu jumped out of the castle, clutching the witch's staff.

The three Biebers came back, happily. Jiedan ran directly into his room wearing a cuckold. Ever since he learned that the hat could help wizards meditate faster, Jiedan worked harder than before, and his witchcraft power even surpassed Linlang's.

However, although Bieber's beads have no effect on meditation, they are very suitable for Bieber. In addition to lighting, they also have a huge effect, that is, they can make the spirit more full.

This was good. From then on, Gus lay on the table day and night studying what he called the greatest invention.

The moon climbs up the treetops, and the desolate moonlight shines on the windowsill. Autumn nights are always a bit desolate.

······

Gus sat at the window, not meditating.

"what----"

A roar of pain quickly covered the academy, and Gus jumped onto the castle, squinting his eyes slightly and looking into the distance.

That's where the inspection team is.
