Although Guceres had already told Suge about the matter before, it was still surprising for Suge that Dean Gurion summoned him so quickly, so it seems that the academy's need for manpower is really urgent.

Thinking of this, Su Ge soon retracted his thoughts.

He began his journey back to the Academy.

Click.

A deep voice came, and in the woods ahead, two strangely shaped Thran horses appeared in place, dragging their special carriages, and they rubbed affectionately towards Sugda.

More than a year has passed, and the two Thran horses have not changed much compared to before, and the elemental energy particles on their bodies are rich and still maintain an active aura.

"Alright, let's go, let's go back to the academy together." Suge patted the two Thran horses on the head, then got into the carriage and began to return to the academy.

Unlike before leaving the academy and coming to Cold Night City, Su Ge has already experienced a long journey, and he is also familiar with the path back to Gintama Castle, and after more than three months, he successfully returned to Gintama Castle.

Although the road was not very calm, there were some ups and downs and twists and turns, but for Su Ge, who is now a third-class apprentice, these are small things, and there is no need to pay attention to them at all.

Looking at the rather vast city buildings in front of him, as well as the silver towers that seemed to glow, Su Ge couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

He smiled and walked forward.

As soon as he approached the Silver Soul Castle, the void in front of him suddenly became distorted, and then two huge silver stone statues appeared, these two statues were nearly 10 meters tall, holding black iron tridents in their hands, their eyes were wooden, and their bodies were full of blood vessels, looking like a living flesh and blood creature.

"What is this? Is it a living modification? No, no, it's a high-level witchcraft that forcibly pinched together witchcraft creatures with witchcraft, wanting them to maintain their witchcraft properties while maintaining some biological activity. ”

Su Ge looked at the two witchcraft creatures in front of him, his heart was shocked, his eyes narrowed, and a cold blue shimmer flashed in his eyes, and he kept analyzing.

"I am an apprentice at the Academy, and now I am ordered to return to the Academy." Suge said, pulling out his identity badge.

A thin silver glimmer flashed in the eyes of the two silverstone statues, and they instantly disappeared into the silver badge that Su Ge took out, as if they were confirming, and soon the two silverstone statues in front of them became friendly.

"It's ...... Very good...... Young apprentice, welcome back to the Academy...... Welcome home......" The voices of the two silverstone statues were intermittent.

Suge nodded, and then entered the Gintama Castle.

Looking at the Silver Soul Castle in front of him, a familiar and unfamiliar feeling suddenly rose in Su Ge's heart.

"I'll submit the task."

"It took a year and a half to collect the Chill Grass in Cold Night City, and now the task has been completed."

Su Ge came to the mission area and took out the sorted out Arctic Grass and the previous mission voucher.

Inside the mission area was a seated seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with pale blonde hair and freckles on her face, looking very young, but very skilled in handling things.

"Is there a task to collect Arctic Grass in Cold Night City, okay, please wait a moment, let me take a closer look, the one who received this task before was an apprentice named Sug Orenst, is it you......"

The girl chattered, doing things with her hands and feet, and it didn't take long for Suge to walk out of the mission area.

He completed the task and was rewarded with some magic stones, which Su Ge naturally did not dislike, after all, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.

"Suge!" As soon as he reached the common area, Suge heard someone shouting his name.

"Melissa."

Turning his head, Su Ge saw a familiar figure, she was still wearing a complicated and gorgeous black dress, looking indescribably cold and distant, giving people a feeling of being very close and rejecting thousands of miles away.

Looking at Melissa in front of her, Su Ge was slightly stunned.

He was suddenly in a trance, as if he had suddenly returned to years ago, when he had just arrived at the Silver Castle, and Melissa was wearing a long black dress, softly calling his name.

"You're back, Suge, let's go, come with me to meet the mentor." Melissa looked at Suge, and her heart also had some ups and downs, she paused, and then said to Suge.

Naturally, Su Ge would not refuse this.

Soon, as Suge and the others walked along, they arrived at Guceres's office.

Originally, the office was very lively, but now the whole office is empty, Moen, Beauvoir, and Christine, none of them are in the lab.

"The academy is very short of manpower right now, so most of the apprentices have been transferred or assigned different assignments." Melissa explained.

"Hmm." Suge nodded and did not speak.

"Suge, you're back."

"Huh? You've been promoted to a third-class apprentice, so quickly? ”

As soon as he walked in, Guceres's voice rang out, and he was a little surprised.

With a creak, Guceres opened the door and walked out on his own.

He nudged his glasses slightly, as if to make sure again.

"Mentor, I've had some unique encounters out there." Suge bowed slightly towards Guceres.

"Do you have any other chances, this is very good, then you should really go to the mission of collecting cold grass in Cold Night City." Guceres smiled when he heard this.

"Mentor, Su Ge has been promoted to a third-class apprentice?" Melissa was stunned.

She looked at Suge, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong.

That is, she couldn't feel the exact breath on Su Ge's body, and the aura on Su Ge's body was very vague, like a moment of intense and sometimes secret, changing and uncertain, making her feel elusive.

"Yes, Melissa, Suge has become a third-class apprentice, and his strength has improved rapidly, in comparison, he is not much worse than you."

"So, ahem...... Ahem, Melissa, you have to work harder. ”

Guceres said, coughing a little or twice halfway through his conversation.

"What's wrong with you, Mentor?"

Suge asked.

"It's nothing, I was a little injured in the previous fight with others, it's not a big deal." Guceres gently covered his lips with a silk handkerchief, and a small ball of black blood appeared on the silk handkerchief, and then the black blood kept changing, like a black worm with a very vital struggle and spread on the silk handkerchief, and then slowly disappeared.

Guceres' face turned white, and then returned to normal.

The Golden Wind Wizard Family.

Although he has the reputation of the Golden Wind, the surname of the Golden Wind family is Patrell, and their patriarch is an extremely powerful wizard, because of the title of the Golden Wind, so he also gave his family such a name.

At this time, inside the Patrell family.

The candle flame burns non-stop.

Baroque sat in his chair, listening to his men's debriefing on Huggins's travels during that time.

"Young Master Huggins is a wizard apprentice of the Fallen Hand, and he recently completed the mission of the Fallen Hand, and everything seems to be normal, but when we investigated secretly, we found that some time ago, Young Master Huggins intercepted a team of materials from the Silver Castle and secretly left with some people."

"They're on their way to Cold Night."

His subordinates wore gray robes and whispered.

"Cold Night City? It's a small remote place, where is Huggins going, what is going on, I guess he has something to do, I have been relieved of Huggins since I was a child. ”

"But how could Huggins die, there are no powerful wizarding organizations or official wizards living alone in that part of Cold Night City."

Baroque closed his eyes and whispered.

"We found the mountain range where Master Huggins died, after Master Huggins' death, the other party handled the scene very cleanly, and almost no witchcraft information remained, but because the other party was an apprentice, there was no official wizard-level witchcraft cleaning, and we still found some only faint witchcraft energy breath." The subordinate said, handing a black vial to Baroque.

Breath of sorcery energy?

Baroque opened the vial, and a pale red aura of energy suddenly floated out, filling the tip of his nose.

Suddenly, Baroque frowned.

Although this energy breath was only an apprentice-level breath, he didn't know why, but there was a feeling that made his heart tremble, which made him secretly shocked in his heart.

"Yes, although it is very bizarre, it is indeed an apprentice-level energy caster." Baroque sealed the aura of energy into a black vial, and his eyes looked deep at his men.

"Forget about those wizard apprentices before Cold Night City, I have already asked you to investigate the apprentices that appeared in the recent period, so give them to me now."

"Okay." The gray-robed subordinate did not dare to disobey, and immediately handed over a scroll.

"Elder, these are the third-rank apprentices who have recently appeared in Cold Night City." The gray-robed subordinate explained. The gap between the second-class apprentice and the third-class apprentice is very large, the third-class apprentice and the second-class apprentice fighting each other is crushing in itself, and Huggins himself is very strong, he has demonized items, and he also brings his subordinates, only the third-class apprentice can kill him, there will be no exceptions.

"Hmm."

Baroque opened the scroll and looked at it.

On the scroll there are fifteen images of wizard apprentices, and among these fifteen images of wizard apprentices, Suge's figure stands out!
