Chapter 381: Chapter 96 Progress_2


    This is Lucia’s Family when Zoran Archie is not around.


    What tactics would Zoran employ against Link upon his return?


    Without much thought, Link knew, it would be far from anything he is facing now.


    Intensely wild and violent, aiming nothing less than his death.


    Zoran personally taking action isn’t out of the question.


    Because Link’s demonstrated abilities and potential are bing increasingly formidable.


    Left unchecked, he would inevitably be a threat to Lucia’s Family.


    At least to the branch that Zoran leads.


    The time hase to start thinking about a counterattack.


    And when striking, it must be lethal.<div>


    Otherwise, it puts them at risk of their own devices.


    “It seems I’m doomed to a life ofbor,” Link mused.


    With a heavy sigh, he gave up his longtime dream of developing on his homnd.


    Grande Potion Shop shall continue, but only as a money-making venture, not getting too involved.


    This way, it wouldn’t hurt too much to abandon it if he had to run.


    The “do whatever you want” cultivation certainly couldn’t be stopped either, but someone else, like Jasmine or another, must take it over.


    And Jasmine, she must find refuge under Wizard Selene.


    Having Jasmine work at Wizard Selene’s potion shop once she finishes her advanced studies would ensure more safety than running Grande Potion Shop by herself.


    “We have to speed things up now!” Link mutters to himself.


    Although his power had been growing exponentially, it never felt enough.


    Facing Lucia’s Family alone was proving to be quite a challenging task.


    Link clenched his fists around the two parent ores.


    While waiting for Wizard Selene, he took the opportunity to consider the feasibility of melding his Destiny Witchcraft “Battle Armor” with the First Ring witchcraft “Molten Gold Battle Armor” and “Rock Iron Battle Armor”.


    Having had the experience of ingesting the Armor Orchid seeds to craft the Armor Orchid Battle Armor,


    Link had long perfected a high-potential synthesis strategy.


    It was just that without parent ores, the n was impossible to put into action.


    Exercising the strategy now served two purposes: to spot for gaps and to make the most of time.


    After leaving Wizard Selene’s, he could start on extending his Destiny Witchcraft “Battle Armor” right when he returns to his vi.


    Nearing midnight, Wizard Selene returned to her vi, slightly intoxicated.<div>


    Upon seeing Link, sheughs melodically, “Link, you were fantastic tonight!”


    “Oh? How so?” Link asks, intrigued.


    “Hehehe…”


    With a cup of sobering hot drink handed over by the steward, Wizard Selene took a sip,ughed for a while before she exined, “Many people at the banquet were curious to see if Lucia’s Family’s actions against you would really seed. Hence they used their authority to ess some city surveince system, and spied upon Lucia’s Family’s actions throughout…”<div>


    “Hold on.”


    Link interjects, “Surveince? Are the people from Lucia’s Family not aware they’re being watched?”


    With a teasing smile, Wizard Selene replies, “Of course they do. But so what? If the Academy wishes it, nothing in Ravensmouth City remains a secret.”


    This thought terrifies Link.


    The Academy?


    Who represents the Academy?


    “So you see, there are justifiable reasons people don’t want to stay in the city,” Wizard Selene gives a faint exnation, then gets back to the topic,


    “Everyone at the banquet, including the people from Lucia’s Family, witnessed your summoned creature boldly enter the West District under their watch and then disappear with ease.”


    “They pped for quite a while acknowledging your move.”


    “Lucia’s Family lost a great deal of face tonight.”


    “Did they? That’s good.”


    Link is not too bothered about this, he’s just listening for Wizard Selene’s sake.


    “Alright, you should leave now. There won’t be any trouble tonight. Lucia’s Family won’t bother you right now, they’re dealing with their internal conflicts.”<div>


    Wizard Selene waves him off.


    As she walks upstairs to the bathroom, swaying her remarkable curves, she kicks off her high heels.


    Link silently leaves Wizard Selene’s vi and drives the “Phantom Coupe” back to the Academy.


    True to her words, he doesn’t encounter any issues during the journey.


    Upon reaching the vi, he briefly chatted with a worried Jasmine to soothe her nerves.


    Then, Link heads for the Magic Practice Room in the basement of his vi.


    Once he settles down, the two parent ores that he’s been clenching onto disappear and reappear in the “Small World”.


    With a mere thought, the “Small World” swallows and absorbs the two parent ores.


    In a moment, the “Small World” digests the two parent ores, inheriting their characteristics.


    Now, it’s time to blend and extend the Destiny Witchcraft “Battle Armor”.


    The magic blueprint of Armor ss Witchcraft doesn’t vary much in appearance.


    The crucial structure is a consistent hexagram.


    What truly distinguishes them are the Runes.<div>


    Some Runes are universal, some differ, and some contradict each other.


    Link employed tactics like “improving strengths and mending weaknesses”, “merging alike”, and “detail filling” on the original “Battle Armor” magic blueprint, eliminating and integrating where needed to form a rough new Magic Blueprint.


    Putting his “Mind Closure Technique” into motion, activating the “Multi-Threading Thinking” function, and stacking it withputations from Franda, Link then meticulously works on this rough new Magic Blueprint.


    He makes some progress, but not significant.


    Merging Witchcraft isn’t something that can bepleted in one go.


    It must be done slowly.


    Link has the patience he needs.
