The most powerful wizard in the magic world

The fate of Gados hung by a thread, and thinking of the cunning and sinister eyes of the old man with Bluebeard, Gelling shuddered.

"I have to find Gados." Gerling thought to himself, then quickly packed some necessities, opened the door and walked out of the dormitory.

Just as he took a few steps, he heard hurried footsteps. It was Thorrid, his voice trembling slightly: "Gerlin, wait! Where are you going?"

"I have to find Gardos." He didn't stop walking, trying to sound firm.

"Wait a minute, calm down! Do you know how big a threat the old man with Bluebeard poses? Gados is in great danger now!" Thor Reed followed behind, trying his best to keep up with Gerlin.

"I understand, but I can't let him face it alone. He could be anywhere now, and I believe he will be in great pain." Gerlin stopped and turned to look at Thor Reed with a firm gaze.

Torrid's brows were furrowed. "Do you really think you can help him? You are not his protector, you are just an ordinary student." There was a hint of self-blame in his tone. As Torrid's classmate, he felt guilty about his classmate's experience.

"An ordinary student? No, I'm not." Gerlin shook his head, his tone firm. "In this academy, ordinary and extraordinary are not determined by status. I must do my best."

"But you have to pay attention to your own safety." Thor Reed's voice suppressed a hint of anxiety, "The old man with blue beard is not easy to mess with."

"I'll be careful." Gerling's tone didn't waver, his determination was already burning.

The two walked all the way to the school library, where Gados usually studied and thought. The door was quiet, without any movement. He gently pushed the door open, and the dim candlelight illuminated the dusty books on the bookshelf. The air was filled with a faint smell of paper. Gerling couldn't help but feel a familiar warmth, but he quickly put away this emotion and his eyes wandered around every corner of the library.

"I didn't see him." Thor Reed frowned and looked around.

"There's no point staying here. We have to find a place nearby." Gerling's tone became more and more urgent.

At this moment, a low voice suddenly came from outside the door. After listening again, it was indeed several instructors from the academy. Gerlin's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but pull Thor Reed with his hand, "Hurry, hide!"

The two quickly hid behind the bookshelf and stuck their heads out to watch. The dean, the old man with a blue beard, and several other tutors were talking in low voices at the door. Their expressions were serious and their brows revealed uneasiness.

"We must catch Gardos, otherwise Torild's death will never be resolved." The old man with blue beard spoke in a deep and powerful voice, as if every word contained a threat. Gerling's heart tightened, realizing that the other party had already locked onto Gardos.

"Gados should be nearby, otherwise he wouldn't have rashly entered the library." Another tutor said, "We can search around here later."

"Everyone split up and make sure to find him as soon as possible." The old man with blue beard gave a concise and powerful order, and several people left one after another, leaving behind a scene of tension and anxiety.

"Hurry, we have to get out of here!" Gerling didn't dare to stay any longer, so he pulled Thorrid and quickly moved towards the window. They pushed open the window, jumped out, and landed on the lawn.

"We need to find a safe place." After sorting out his thoughts, Gerlin whispered. "Or we can contact other friends in the academy to see if anyone has seen Gados."

"Well... I remember Winter and Aman both had a party, maybe we can find some clues." Thor Reed nodded in agreement, although he was still uneasy.

Time flies, the two trotted all the way, avoiding teachers and patrolling students, passing through Winter's dormitory, one by one, and finally arrived at the gathering place. There was a lot of noise outside the door, and when they opened the door, the lively scene instantly came into view.

"Hey! Gerlin! Thor Reed! You are finally here!" Winter waved to them excitedly. He was surrounded by a group of classmates. Glasses were clinking and laughter was heard. The atmosphere was joyful.

"We don't have time to chat, Winter!" Thor Reed said eagerly, "We are looking for Gardos. Have you seen him?"

Winter was stunned, and his expression immediately became solemn: "Gados? It seems that he showed up before the party started, but then he disappeared."

"I knew he wouldn't stay there peacefully." Thor Reed frowned, his inner anxiety growing.

"Go find him. I and the others will wait here for news." Winter patted Thor Reed's shoulder, appearing very supportive.

"Thank you, Winter." After saying this, Gerlin and Thor Reed stood up again and walked quickly outside.

"We have to go to the bar. That might be where he is hiding." Thor Reed walked in front, recalling in his mind.

When they got to the bar, they pushed the door open cautiously, fearing to attract other people's attention. In the lively environment, music and laughter intertwined, and the air was filled with the mixed smell of alcohol and smoke. However, after looking around, they clearly felt that Gados was not here.

"Let's look in another direction." Gerling was almost losing his patience, feeling a little uneasy.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. The two were startled and leaned out of the window.

I saw a short figure hiding on the side. It was Gados. He looked extremely embarrassed and his face was full of fear. "Quick, come here!" Gados waved his hands vigorously.

"Why are you here?" Gerling didn't bother to ask more questions and immediately ran over to pull him up.

Gados panted, looking extremely panicked: "I...I don't know what to do. Old man Bluebeard is already looking for me everywhere."

"Calm down, we will help you." Gerlin tried to calm down, "You should leave here with us for the time being, and we will talk about it when it is safer."

Gados nodded, his face still pale. They quietly passed through the crowded bar, trying to find a safe exit, but just as they were about to reach the door, they heard hurried footsteps outside.
