¡°What was his problem?¡±
Linknded besides Assad, deactivated his battle armor, and asked in confusion, ¡°Did I offend him somehow?¡±
Without waiting for Assad¡¯s reply, Link further asked, ¡°The two instances of rumors that ckened my reputation, were they also spread by him?¡± Could his thinking not be so sharp?
What am I supposed to answer?
Assad mentallyined, his face devoid of its usual carefree demeanor, even slightly hinting at a mask of pain.
Choosing to not answer these two questions, he abruptly changed the topic and said, ¡°This time, the special squad consists of seven people. There¡¯s a Tier 3 wizardmanding the team, I¡¯m in charge ofmunication, you¡¯re handling biological research and medical duties, Lokan is the front-line attacker when we encounter enemies, ¡®ck Cat¡¯ Betty is in charge of scouting, and Onyx and Mark are in charge ofmon firepower output.¡±
After a pause, Assad emphasized, ¡°This is just a basic division and positioning of duties, not limitations. In practical actions, everyone should y a more active role.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Seeing Assad avoiding the question, Link didn¡¯t continue to ask, instead, he listened seriously to his speech and nodded slightly.
In the field of wilderness exploration in Different worlds, Link was aplete novice. He had to lower his posture and take time to learn, observe, and think.
Especially when it came to deep pration reconnaissance andbat, Link was without any practical experience.
He needed to learn, observe, and think about this even more.
By this time, the two had entered the camp.
Five team members, including Lokan, were seated within, with a burly man leading the group.
¡°Gentlemen, this is Link Grande, a First Level Wizard, with an affinity for both the Water and Wood systems, a Genius Potion Master, a prodigy in biology. He has been in the army for half a month and already has two merits to his name.¡±
Assad began to perform his role in coordinatingmunication, first introducing Link to the five team members, then introducing each of the five members to Link:
¡°This is Boss Otis, a Tier 3 wizard with affinity to the Light, Water, and Earth Systems.¡±
¡°This is ¡®ck Cat¡¯ Betty, a Second-Level Wizard with affinity to the wood and earth systems, she excels in scouting, tracking, and proceeding.¡±
¡°These two are Onyx and Mark, twins who are Second-Level Wizards with affinities to the wood and fire systems, they excel in explosions, fire suppression, and advancing.¡±
¡°This is Lokan, a Senior Second-Level Wizard with super affinity to the water system, he¡¯s a body-refining wizard.¡±
Chapter 307: 71 Battle Plan? What Plan_2
When introducing Lokan Morton, Assad deliberately emphasized Lokan¡¯s identity as a ¡°Body-refining wizard.¡±
The so-called Body-refining wizard is actually one of the five main wizard sects of the Wizard World.
These five sects are the Elemental Wizard, Body-refining wizard, Intelligence Mechanism Wizard, True Spirit Wizard, and Beast Controlling Wizard.
They were created and handed down by the five saints who reconstructed the world in ordance with the World¡¯s will after the ancient war between the Wizard World and the World of God.
The sects created by the four martyred saints have now been used for the reconstruction of the world and no longer exist.
It was the saint of the Elemental Wizard sect that settled the western continental shelf of the main continent.
Thus, the western part of the main continent, including the West Coast, is mainly upied by Elemental Wizards.
Ravensmouth Biological and Medical College, one of the many wizard organizations on the West Coast, primarily nurtures Elemental Wizards.
Those who have converted to other sects like Lokan are not unheard of, but they are rtively few, hence their rarity.
The Body-refining wizard, as the name suggests, mainly harnesses the potential of the physical body and takes the path of attaining sainthood through physical strength.
Assad¡¯s emphasis was a word of caution.
Elemental Wizards in front of Body-refining wizards are like eggs in front of rocks, easily crushed.
If one can¡¯t afford to offend, it¡¯s best to avoid.
Link got the point, smiled and nodded, expressing gratitude with thankful eyes.
¡°As for me,¡±
Assad formally introduced himself, ¡°Assad Keh, Senior Second-Level Wizard, Super Light System Affinity, True Spirit Wizard.¡±
Link¡¯s pupils slightly contracted, taken by surprise.
A True Spirit Wizard mainly cultivates the soul, casting spells with spiritual power, or ording to the internal terms of the True Spirit Wizard sect, main poweres from the mind.
Its focus is on people¡¯s cognition and soul, characterized by curses and soul confusion, killing subconsciously.
No wonder Assad has a high say in the team, even with a Tier 3 Wizard, Boss Otis, being there.
True Spirit Wizards have a coordination andmunication advantage over other wizard sects, especially Body-refining wizards.
Once a First Ring witchcraft spiritual link isunched, it can connect directly with everyone in the team.
Communication can be done without speaking.
It¡¯s not only efficient and stealthy, but also unrestricted by terrain.
Its importance is further entuated when magicmunication devices are ineffective.
The captain of the Special Task Squad, Tier 3 Wizard, Boss Otis, lightly patted his hand, attracting everyone¡¯s attention, and seriously said: ¡°Take a good rest today, we¡¯ll move out early tomorrow. Dismissed.¡±
Having said that, Wizard Otis walked straight out of the camp and went to his tent.
Link was even more shocked.
Was that it?
They didn¡¯t mention anything about the target, marching route, precautions, contingency ns, nothing at all.
This seemed ridiculous.
But ¡®ck Cat¡¯ Betty, twins Onyx and Mark, Assad, even Lokan, took it for granted, showing no surprise at all.
Betty, Onyx, and Mark left the camp one after another.
Before leaving, they each carefully stared at Link¡¯s face for a while, yet they didn¡¯t say a word.
Lokan stood up and walked over to Link.
His tall body blocked the light, casting a shadow andpletely covering Link, creating immense pressure.
Bending over, Lokan¡¯s expression was somewhat mocking, as heughed and said, ¡°Littled, I bet you didn¡¯t think you¡¯d run into me here, huh? As soon as I heard you were drafted, I couldn¡¯t wait to see you.¡±
Link calmly met Lokan¡¯s gaze, showing no signs of fearfulness, and asked with bewilderment:
¡°I¡¯ve always wondered, did I offend you?
Why continue to target me?
You smacked me the first time we met;
While I was in the Cultivation Secret Realm, you lured Jasmine Kidman to voluntarily ept the Serene Wizard¡¯s qualification upgrade experiment;
You instigated others to spread rumors about me on two separate asions, tarnishing my image;
And just now, you again tried to intimidate me.
I am puzzled about all of this.
Wizard Lokan, may I know the reason why you are doing this?¡±
Upon hearing this, Lokan burst intoughter as if he had heard an amusing joke.
Hisughter gradually grew louder, filling the entire camp with its reverberation.
When he hadughed enough, he slowly quieted down, and with a tone full of ridicule, Lokan chuckled, ¡°What does it have to do with you if I target you?¡±
With that, Lokan raised his two right fingers, gestured towards his eyes, then pointed at Link. He then let out a creepy jeeringugh, making a threat: ¡°Better watch out, I¡¯ll be keeping an eye on you.¡±
Leaving these divisive words behind, Wizard Lokan strode out of the camp, his back showing a hint of arrogance.
Link watched Lokan¡¯s retreating figure, his gaze profound.
Assad, who was by his side, couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
The two, who had initially no grievances against each other, were now without a doubt enemies after this encounter.
After a thought, Assad started, ¡°No matter what, during the mission, with Boss Otis here, Lokan wouldn¡¯t risk undermining the mission to mess with you.¡± ¡°Really?¡±
Link smiled and didn¡¯t give it much thought.
Asking others for help is worse than helping oneself.
Can you really leave your life and fortunes in the hands of others?
Seeing Link¡¯s attitude, Assad extinguished his thoughts of mediating, instead saying, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to rest.¡±
¡°Okay, thank you, Wizard Keh.¡±
Link did not refuse this arrangement and expressed his thanks sincerely.
¡°Just call me Assad.¡±
As he headed toward the exit, Assad spoke while walking, ¡°Later, I will send you some materials, about deep enemy lines reconnaissance andbat. Familiarize yourself with it first, so it won¡¯t escte into panic once the mission starts tomorrow.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
¡± During the mission tomorrow, you¡¯ 11 stick with me. When possible ,1¡¯11 guide you and enlighten you about some precautionary points.¡±
Chapter 308: 71 Battle Plan? What Plan_3
¡°Hmm, thank you, Assad.¡±
In the process of heading towards the tent, Assad shows a calm and reliable demeanor that contrasts with his frivolous personality, constantly giving Link some basic knowledge.
¡°You should rest first.¡±
Arriving at a brand new tent, Assad bids farewell and then leaves.
Link watches him go, then turns to pull open the door curtain and climbs into the tent.
The inside of the tent is not small and is divided into several areas.
There¡¯s even a washbasin.
Link puts down his bag, flops onto the bed, pulls out his handheld device, opens the information sent by Assad, and starts to read seriously.
When ites to matters of life and death, no amount of care can be too much.
Time passes as he studies earnestly.
The next dayes quickly.
While it¡¯s still dark, Assad informs Link to gather via a spiritual link.
In front of the Intelligence Agency¡¯s barracks, six team members line up by height.
Boss Otis, with his square face, stands in front of the team, looking each person in the eye for two seconds from left to right, then says, ¡°After the mission starts, follow instructions for all actions, and don¡¯t make any rash decisions. Is that clear?¡±
¡°Understood!¡±
Assad takes the lead, and others follow, shouting unanimously in response.
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
Boss Otis waves his hand, taking the lead to board the flying vehicle parked nearby, which highly resembles a Chinook helicopter.
When everyone is on board, the flight vehicle immediately activates, entering aprehensive cloaking state including, but not limited to optical, acoustic, and spiritual aspects, and leaves the base.
From a high altitude, the base is in the shape of a Chinese character for field, with the teleportation portal at the very center.
The scenery inside and outside the base ispletely different.
Inside the base, everything is identical to the Wizard World except the living conditions are a bit harsh.
Once you leave the base, the world changes entirely.
You can see all sorts of greenery everywhere between heaven and earth.
An evergreen primeval forest stretches as far as the eye can see.
Tall, bizarre rocks and mountains stand straight up to the sky and cover extensive areas, numerous in number, like bamboo shoots after a rainstorm.
Three differently colored ¡°suns¡± hang in the sky.
One yellow, one red, one white.
Except for the absence of floating rocks, Link feels like he has arrived at Pandora from the movie Avatar.
Everything in front of his eyes is so simr.
No wonder when dissecting a fairy before, Link felt like he had seen a simr image somewhere.
Add a long tail to the fairy, lengthen its body, and you have a perfect replica of the Navi People.
Perhaps because of the simr ecological environments, simr species evolved.
Link could only guess in this direction.
The cloaked flying vehicle moves quickly between numerous mountains and crosses over dozens of primeval forests. After covering an unknown distance from the forward base, it finally begins to slow down and decrease its altitude.
It seems they are about to reach their destination.
Link, following Assad, unbuckles his seatbelt, stands up from his seat, and walks to the side door, ready to skydive.
Standing near the door, Link adjusts his ¡°Defender 3202¡± suit to a jungle camouge style, and puts on a transparent facemask that covers his entire face.
This facemask has a powerful air filtration and purification function that can block all known poisonous gases in the Fairy World.
It alsoes with a stable short-distancemunication function.
Controlled by spiritual power, it can switch between teammunication and privatemunication modes.
A backpack containing several sets of miniaturized experimental equipment is securely fastened to his body, not hindering his movements.
Link checks his condition from top to bottom a few times to make sure he is good to go and meets the standard.
The flight vehicle lowers its altitude again, preparing tounch the team.
As there is still time, Link gives Assad a light elbow nudge, selects private chat mode, and asks the question that he has been holding back since yesterday, ¡°Are we just taking action like this? Don¡¯t we have any n?¡±
Assad looks at Link with a strange look in his eyes, and curiously retorts, ¡°n? What n? The most meticulous ns can still fail if the enemy doesn¡¯t cooperate.¡±
¡°So, screw the n.¡±
¡°We¡¯ll adapt to whateveres!¡±
Chapter 309: 72: Parachuting Behind Enemy
Lines, The Fairy King¡¯s Amputated Arm_l
The flying vehicle hovers in ce.
The deck hatch suddenly opens.
¡°Quick, quick, quick! Jump, jump, jump!¡±
Boss Otis with the square face gives orders over the team¡¯s channel.
Lokan steps ahead and falls out of the deck hatch towards the ground.
The twins Onyx and Mark follow closely behind.
Betty, the ¡°ck Cat¡±, first throws out a dozen biomimetic hummingbird reconnaissance Magic Tools before skydiving down.
Assad gives Link a look, signaling him to learn, and jumps down first.
Link is observing carefully, studying and learning.
He notices that everyone jumps straight down, with no such actions of bending down and holding their knees, or diving headfirst with their limbs spread out. There are indeed vast differences between wizards and ordinary people.
Following their example, Link also keeps his legs together, his entire body like a straight stone pir, descending from heaven.
The moment he leaves the flight vehicle, Link feels what is meant by ¡°Different World¡±.
The Fairy World¡¯s surface gravity eleration has a significant differencepared to the Wizard World¡¯s surface gravity eleration.
If the Wizard World¡¯s surface gravity eleration is iom/s
2, the Fairy World¡¯s surface gravity eleration would be I2m/s
2.
Compared to when he was in the Wizard World, Link¡¯s falling speed is noticeably faster.
The air density and surface atmospheric pressure in the Fairy World are slightly greater than in the Wizard World.
In mid-air, Link activates his Magic Tool ring on his left ring finger with spiritual power and checks the airposition.
He finds that the airposition in the Fairy World has significant differencespared to the Wizard World and the forward base.
The concentration of ¡°oxygen¡± is much lower.
The concentration of inert gases, which ordinary humans cannot breathe, is much higher.
No wonder that those fairies in the istion cells were instinctively breathing greedily.
It¡¯s just like people living in industrial cities who are ustomed to the air filled with industrial waste gas, suddenly entering a forest known as a ¡°natural oxygen bar¡±, breathing in very high-quality fresh air.
One can¡¯t help but take deep breaths.
Then you feelpletely different, much more rxed.
He¡¯s already descended more than half the required height, about tond.
Link concentrates his attention to avoid making mistakes.
He mustnd stably; he can¡¯t fall to the ground, let alone make a spectacle like the X special team did, falling in all sorts of strange ways.
Impacting the mission is secondary, mainly he can¡¯t lose face.
Link doesn¡¯t choose to use the jet thrust from his boots to counteract the speed and force. While it¡¯s convenient, it¡¯s too conspicuous.
Instead, he uses the ¡°Defender 3202¡± suit¡¯s built-in levitation function.
The cloak, which usually fits him tightly, slightly lifts, while the boots underneath him simultaneously produce an ascending buoyancy force.
His falling speed suddenly slows down.
He gently and slowlynds, light as a feather.
In terms of style, posture, temperament, except for the difference in his attire and the setting, in all other aspects, he¡¯s just like Batman.
As soon as hends, Link hears Assad¡¯s voice on the team channel: ¡°Link, stay behind me and stay alert. If you encounter any creatures you think are valuable for research, let me know in advance. If permission is given, then you can take samples.¡±
¡°Received, understood.¡±
Link replies on the team channel.
As a neer, he should obey orders.
This point, Link understood well.
At this point, Captain Otis, the boss, quietlynds and starts giving orders, strategizing: ¡°Lokan leads the way, Betty scouts, Onyx and Mark alert on both sides, Assad and Link stay in the middle, I¡¯ll bring up the rear, search forward, target: Fairy King Forest.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Everyone responds in unison.
They quickly form a spindle-shaped formation ording to Otis s arrangements, advancing and searching forward.
Assad takes the opportunity to enlighten Link:
¡°There¡¯s a sacred ce in the Fairy World, that is the Fairy King Forest, where the Fairy King of the Rainforest Fairies resides.
Before the end of the second battle, Sage Palo personally stepped forward and seriously injured the Fairy King.
Only after this didrge-scale fairy mutations happen.
To scout this information, going directly to the Fairy King Forest won¡¯ t be wrong.¡±
After pausing, remembering that Link is participating in the Different World campaign for the first time and doesn¡¯t possess manymon facts that aren¡¯t covered in textbooks, documents, and literature, he patiently exins: ¡°Below the portal of the forward base, there¡¯s a specific Rune Array.
The Will of the Wizard World can descend upon the Fairy World through this Rune Array, gradually ¡®infusing¡¯ the regtions affiliated with the forward base area.
So, every aspect of the rules of the forward base leans towards the Wizard World.
In the ¡®wilderness¡¯ that the Will of the World doesn¡¯t cover, the Will of the Fairy World is absolutely dominant.
I believe you should¡¯ve felt the differences with gravity, atmosphere, ecological environment, and such.
This is a manifestation of the absolute dominance of the Fairy World¡¯s Will. Some of our witchcraft and Magic Tools might be of no use if they do notply with the rules of the Fairy World, you must be aware of this. Remember, pioneering a Different World, going deep behind enemy lines to scout, is not a dinner invitation.
There¡¯s no semnce of peacefulness, when you need to take action, you mustn¡¯t hesitate, otherwise it will harm others as well as yourself.¡¯
¡°Hmm.¡±
Link slightly nods, indicating his understanding, and then asks, ¡°The material you sent me yesterday mentioned that wizards favored by the World Will, during the process of pioneering a Different World, will get help from the World Will. What sort of assistance is this? It wasn¡¯t written in the material, do you know? Can you tell me?¡±
On hearing this, Assad suddenly falls silent.
After a while, he directly opens the team channel and says with a sour tone: ¡°Link just asked me about what kind of aid those favored by the World Will receive during the pioneering process. I hope everyone can join in answering him, I shouldn¡¯t be the only one guiding the neer.¡±
Chapter 310: 72: Parachuting Behind Enemy Lines, The Fairy Kings Amputated Arm_2
Chapter 310: Chapter 72: Parachuting Behind Enemy Lines, The Fairy King¡¯s Amputated Arm_2
We are all team members, sharing both joy and suffering together.
Assad shouldn¡¯t be the only one subjected to such stimtion, right?
¡°Hmph!¡±
Lokan was the first to respond, clearly displeased.
¡°I know, but I don¡¯t want to say.¡±
Betty, also known as ¡°ck Cat,¡± is as haughty as a cat herself.
¡°Hehehe¡ hehehe¡¡±
The twins, Onyx and Mark, let out ambiguousughs.
In the end, it was Boss Otis who provided the exnation: ¡°As long as the World¡¯s Consciousness descends on the Different World, even if it doesn¡¯t cover everything, but only a few ¡®strongholds,¡¯ like the current Fairy World, then you don¡¯t have to worry about witchcraft bing ineffective.¡±
After speaking, Boss Otis emphasized: ¡°Before bing Official Wizards, if you can get the World¡¯s Consciousness to favor you, your future promotion to Sage would be rtively easier. If this is your case, congrattions.¡±
Everyone¡¯s reactions, especially Lokan¡¯s, made Link realize that he had unknowingly bragged about himself.
It seemed as though he had just casually voiced a doubt.
In fact, he was like a king casually stating his earnings, sessfully showing off in an instant.
¡°Thank you, Boss Otis.¡±
In a sh of thought, Link decided to speak less in the future.
Assad utterly stopped talking.
He probably didn¡¯t want to interact with the show-off beside him.
Fearful of being suddenly struck by a surprise stimtion.
Link also decided not to speak needlessly, but rather to stay alert and observe everything around him as the team continued to move.
Inside the ¡°Seed¡± in his Sea of Consciousness, Franda was also keeping an eye on the Fairy World through Link¡¯s vision.
Currently, the ¡°Seed¡± was in its second stage, which required arge amount of biological information, biological resources, and mineral resources. She was considering whether she could find something in the Fairy World that the ¡°Seed¡± could devour and digest.
A horse can¡¯t get fat without grazing at night.
Just relying on earning Magic Stones to exchange for the resources needed to nurture the ¡°Seed¡± would be too slow.
It would be much more efficient to have a few more asions like when they were favored by the World¡¯s Consciousness, allowing them to instantlyplete the first stage of Sublimation.
Even without such good fortune, freebies were still desirable.
The team moved quickly.
Even though they were deeply encroached behind enemy territory, approaching the Rainforest Fairy¡¯s core area.
Not only was the terrainplex, but there was also a risk of encountering the Rainforest Fairy¡¯s patrol team at any time.
However, with the help of ¡°ck Cat¡± Betty¡¯s reconnaissance and route nning.
The Special Forces Squad managed to avoid all hidden sentries, patrol teams, and traps and casually reached the edge of the Fairy King¡¯s Forest.
¡°Rest for ten minutes.¡±
Just before entering the Fairy King¡¯s Forest, Boss Otis ordered a halt to the team¡¯s progress.
Inside the ¡°Seed,¡± Franda shouted at the same time: ¡°Boss, boss, there¡¯s a discovery!¡±
Link immediately focused to receive the information shared by Franda.
It turned out that a bunch of inconspicuous flowers on the necessary route of the Special Forces Squad into the King¡¯s Forest caught Franda¡¯s attention.
The ¡°Seed¡± didn¡¯t have the ¡°desire¡± to devour this bush of flowers.
Franda, on the other hand, instinctively felt that there was something unusual about these flowers.
Franda, who had received all of Link¡¯s knowledge and was now the ¡°Spirit¡± within the ¡°Seed,¡± had many attributes that are different from and stronger than Link in terms of intuition, perception, and way of thinking.
This was not an effect of intelligence, but rather a different perspective on things.
After several urrences, Link already ced absolute trust in Franda¡¯s keen instinct in this regard.
Link intently looked at the flowers.
Armed with extensive knowledge, the talent in Botany, and aid from the talent in Magic Apothecary.
After a few nces, he noticed the anomaly.
¡°Report: Unknown discovery, Requesting permission for research. Just as everyone was preparing to follow Boss Otis¡¯s orders for a rest, Link suddenly shouted in the team channel, immediately drawing everyone¡¯s attention.
¡°Granted.¡±
Boss Otis immediately responds and issues orders, ¡°Abandon rest, keep on guard. Assad to apany Link on the research.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Everyone responded and took action.
-ck Cat¡± Betty adjusted theyout of the Biomimetic Hummingbird, bringing the entire 2 km radius area into its surveince range.
Lokan faced the Fairy King¡¯s Forest, ready to confront enemies at any time.
The twins, Onyx and Mark spread out to the left and right.
Boss Otis stood still on the spot with his eyes closed, sensing things carefully.
This is what the actual Different World Pioneering is like.
With the help of various smart Magic Tools developed by Intelligence Mechanism Wizards, especially Reconnaissance Magic Tools, marching can be very smooth, almost undetectable.
However, once they begin research on the Different World, they are likely to invite attention and interference from the world consciousness of the Different
World.
Using various ways, like whims, ordinances, and visions, to alert the Indigenous forces, is the mostmon method of interference.
Sometimes, they might even directly cause natural disasters.
¡°Be cautious and be prepared for changes.¡±
As Assad apanies Link to the flower bush, he kindly reminded him.
¡°Yeah, I will.¡±
Link solemnly responded.
Being prudent leads to eating a full meal. Upon hearing the advice, Link promptly asked Franda to enhance her vignce. He too remained very vignt himself.
Upon reaching the bush of flowers, Link untied his backpack, took out a set of miniaturized botanical equipment, and started to get busy.
First, taking samples.
From the pollen on the petals to the pistils, the leaves, the branches, and the stems and roots, each part was sampled twice. Carefully, two flower nts are uprooted for a whole sample..
Chapter 311: 72: Parachuting Behind Enemy Lines,
Chapter 311: Chapter 72: Parachuting Behind Enemy Lines,
The Fairy King¡¯s Amputated Arm 3
Next, he took two separate samples of the soil under the flower bed.
He stored one sample in his backpack and conducted an on-the-spot test for the other.
Test again.
Bottles, cans, cups, tubes all followed, processing the sample in turns.
One by one, the samples were processed quickly, now just waiting for the test results.
In his spare time.
Link plucked a flower and held it in his hand, carefully observing it.
Many times, one cannot overly rely on device detection, as vital information or clues can also be found through direct observation.
This time, perhaps Link got ¡°lucky¡±, or he discovered it through his knowledge and talent.
He found an interesting thing in the flower¡¯s stamen.
Simr to the spiral pattern in the pupils of a Deformed Fairy!
They were very, very small and extremely inconspicuous.
If you don¡¯t closely observe, you wouldn¡¯t notice.
Such a pattern in a flower¡¯s stamen, how could Link not investigate it?
He carefully released some spiritual power, ¡°touching¡± the ¡°Sharingan¡± of the stamen, sensing it.
Nothing special, it¡¯s as if it grew naturally.
But the more something seemed natural in the Fairy World, the more Link needs to be aware of abnormalities.
Either this kind of flower is a material used in biological transformations and enhancements by Fairies;
Or, this sort of flower underwent some mutations due to certain stimuli.
Link¡¯s eyes fell on the soil under the flower bed, which was clearly different from the surrounding soil. He couldn¡¯t help but recall the times during the two-areapetition when some nts mutated after absorbing Divine Flesh.
Something extraordinary might be buried beneath.
¡°Report, I think there might be something buried under the flower bed. Requesting permission to excavate.¡±
After some thought, Link decided not to do it himself but to let the other team members do the work.
If there was any danger, he wouldn¡¯t have to face it directly. His experienced and powerful teammates could handle it.
It was a very reasonable thought process.
Boss Otis nced over at him.
Even behind his visor, one could still distinctly feel the brilliant light that shed in his eyes for a moment.
As if he was seeing through the soil, directly trying to find whatever Link believed to be buried.
Unfortunately, he returned unsessful but noticed some abnormalities.
His expression instantly turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, ¡°Link, step back. Assad, get to work. Be careful.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Assad immediately took the order. He reached into his waist and a miniature Intelligent Puppet fell on the ground, and it grewrger with a crackling sound.
With a few creaks, the Intelligent Puppet started and stretched out its mechanical arms, like the bucket of an excavator, and started to dig.
At this time, Assad also stood in front of Link, ready to step in at any time.
Not long after, they dug through the shallowyer of soil, revealing a patch of bloody residue.
¡°Pause for a bit, I need to take a sample.¡±
Link spoke just in time; otherwise, with the efficiency of the Intelligent Puppet, the bloody residue would have been dug up entirely.
If that happened, even if they could rescue it, they might lose an important research material.
Assad responded very quickly.
The Intelligent Puppet stopped at hismand.
Link quickly came forward under Assad¡¯s close protection and Boss Otis¡¯s watchful eyes, and swiftly sampled both the bloody residue and the soil stained by it.
Once the sampling was done, he immediately retreated.
The Intelligent Puppet resumed digging.
It wasn¡¯t long before a broken arm¡ªgreen andyered with scales¡ªappeared in front of everyone.
Even after being buried underground for a long time, it was still intact and even emitted a faint aura of suppression.
¡°Fairy King¡¯s broken arm?¡±
Upon seeing it, Assad immediately eximed.
Boss Otis carefully sensed it for a moment, confirming this guess: ¡°Yes, otherwise it would not have escaped my gaze just now.¡±
As it turned out, what he sensed earlier but could not specifically find, was the Fairy King¡¯s broken arm.
This made sense now.
The Fairy King¡¯s rank is equivalent to a Fourth Level Sage after all.
This discovery is significant, not only does it hold high research value, but it can also assist the strategic nning department in formting battle ns.
Just this one discovery demonstrated the value of Link Grande whom Assad insisted on bringing along.
Indeed, he was quite talented.
¡± Pack it up and we¡¯ll study it back home.¡±
Thoughts raced through Boss Otis¡¯s mind, but it didn¡¯t interfere with his ability to give decisive orders.
¡°Yes.¡±
Assadplied.
This time, he didn¡¯t let Link do anything.
Assad took out a miniature cooler from his pocket, expanded it to normal size, and ced the Fairy King¡¯s broken arm inside it.
Close the container.
Assad then took out a Magic Tool that blocked sensing and locked the cooler.
With this, the special operations squad¡¯s whereabouts wouldn¡¯t be sensed by the Fairy King through the broken limb.
At this time, Otis walked up to Link and patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly:
¡°You¡¯re doing pretty well.
Don¡¯t worry about anything in the future, just give it your all.
As long as I¡¯m here, no one will be able to touch you, so rest assured.¡±
Not too far away, Lokan¡¯s face twisted instantly.
This statement was meant for him to hear, wasn¡¯t it?
It was a warning for him to behave and not to undermine Link, right?
Damn!
He was furious..
Chapter 312: 73: Of course, Fairies Must be Mischievousl
Chapter 312: Chapter 73: Of course, Fairies Must be Mischievousl
¡°Thank you.¡±
Link felt the good intentions of Boss Otis and sincerely thanked him.
This is the advantage of disying your value.
When superiors orpanions see the worth you carry, the benefits you can bring to them, they will value you, and, for their own interests, protect or support you.
Otherwise, even if Link carried the name ¡°Genius Potion Master¡± and had umted two meritorious deeds under his belt, and even if he joined the Intelligence Special Team as an invited transfer, no one would have assisted him, no one was willing to stand up for him and stop Lokan, when he was clearly targeted for oppression by the Lokan Wizard.
Even Assad¡¯s initial reaction was to watch andugh.
Although this matter had passed, Link reminded himself of it from time to time to encourage himself to keep going.
If one does not strive for self-improvement, one cannot stand on their own.
Before bing powerful, learning to use others¡¯ momentum wisely can also be a temporary measure.
But it is only a temporary measure.
True power belongs to oneself.
One has to be tough to forge ahead!
After Assad had dealt with the Fairy King¡¯s severed arm,
Link came forward again, taking samples from the blood stains on the bottom of the severed arm, and the soil that was stained with blood.
These samples, seemingly identical, are actually distinctly different.
Time yed a role in this.
The same blood stains, the same soil, would result in different changes.
If these changes were thoroughly studied, there might be surprising findings.
In addition, the ¡°seed¡± had a strong desire for the blood flowing out from the severed arm.
After Link extracted enough samples for his research and saw that the test results had yet toe out and that he had some free time, he extracted the residual blood in the soil.
¡°Is this blood of use to you?¡±
Assad, who had been watching this scene, raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
¡°Yes.¡±
Link did not avoid the question, but answered straightforwardly.
His actions did not affect other members of the special team, nor did it dy the mission, so there was nothing to hide.
¡°Just keep it under control and don¡¯t affect the main business.¡±
Assad, ustomed to this sight, didn¡¯t have much to say, and only kindly reminded him.
In the course of missions, if Assad found something beneficial for himself, he would also try to get it in his hands.
As he said, as long as it¡¯s kept under control so it doesn¡¯t affect the main business.
The same was true for others.
Everyone did the same.
After all, which wizard doesn¡¯t need to do some research?
Otherwise, where would knowledgee from?
Only the purpose of some wizards¡¯ research is extremely strong, it is specifically for the enhancement of strength.
For some wizards, like Link, it¡¯s not just about enhancing strength, but also about hobbies and professional habits.
Before long, Link had extracted all the blood and the test results had alreadye out.
After carefully reading all the test results and pondering over them, Link¡¯s brows furrowed tightly.
This unassuming cluster of flowers, indeed mutated because it absorbed the blood flowing out of the severed arm.
The key is not the small flower, but the blood flowing from the severed arm.
The test results from the severed arm¡¯s blood led Link to a conjecture.
The Fairy King seemed to have undergone modification and strengthening before his battle with Sage Palo.
To put it another way, it has undergone biochemical modification and enhancement specifically targeted at the Fairy¡¯s gic abilities!
Link didn¡¯t hoard this clue but directly reported it to the squad¡¯s channel. ¡°Captain, the test results of the Fairy King¡¯s severed arm blood suggest that it seems to have ¡®mutated¡¯ earlier. I think this situation deserves attention.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Boss Otis was immediately taken aback.
He took the brain Link passed over, reviewed the test results on the severed arm¡¯s blood andpared it with the partial blood and tissue fluid test information in the autopsy report of the deformed fairy that Link had deliberately called up.
Uponparing, it did seem possible that the Fairy King had undergone biochemical modification and strengthening before the second battle began.
Only, perhaps because the attacking momentum of the army was too swift, the Fairy King couldn¡¯t wait for thepletion of the modification and strengthening process on his body, and had to take action early to stop them.
The Level 4. Fairy King of Fairy World with a cap at Level 5, how could it withstand the Fourth Level Sage of Wizard World.
Sage Palo severely wounded the Fairy King with one strike.
In that battle, Palo¡¯s Sage Army wiped out the Fairy King¡¯s elite guard.
The Fairy King abandoned the main forces, fleeing with grave injuries.
Sage Palo chose not to pursue alone, so as not to invoke the direct attack of the world¡¯s consciousness in the Fairy World.
That¡¯s how the Fairy King barely escaped with his life.
Looking at it now, therge scale sudden mutations of fairies after the second battle,
It seemed like the Fairy King¡¯s ¡°salvation¡± act, which had to be pushed forward, even knowing full well that the n for biochemical modification and strengthening was not yet mature.
It couldn¡¯t be more tragic.
That was Link¡¯s guess.
Furthermore, he even envisioned a scene.
A leader standing in front of arge, impatient crowd, delivering a passionate speech: ¡°If we die today, we¡¯ll die anyway; if we make a grand n, we¡¯ll also die, we¡¯ll only end up anticipating death, can a dead country be saved?¡±
Even though he had crossed wires and the scene was not the same,
Link couldn¡¯t help but use the Mind Closure Technique to block the feelings of shame and rejection in his heart that were born out of him being involved in an invasion and plunder.
The morals of his previous life were still deeply influencing Link.
What a person is.
Entering a rational state, Link began to think coldly.
There was no sign of zombification in the Fairy King¡¯s severed arm.
This was in line with Link¡¯s approach and final n for refining a Fairy¡¯s biochemical modification and strengthening.
He had enough sources of vitality to supply biochemical modification and strengthening instead of excessively consuming one¡¯s vitality and potential for life,
Chapter 313: 73: Of course, Fairies Must be Mischievous_2
Chapter 313: Chapter 73: Of course, Fairies Must be Mischievous_2
This would enhance the innate abilities of the fairies without causing a ghastly bodily transformation or affecting their sanity.
The Fairy King, benefiting from his significant status and abundant vitality, seemed to have withstood the detrimental side effects of transformation and enhancement.
But then a question arises.
Why hasn¡¯t the scheme for biochemical enhancement and transformation, which had beenunched on arge scale upon returning to the Fairy King Forest, been improved so far? Especially after seeing so many fairies mutate ¨C so much so, that even the Medical Department diagnosed it as a ¡°gue¡±.
Did the problem lie with the Fairy King, or with the fairy or institution that developed this scheme for the Fairy King?
Link pondered over it.
So did Boss Otis.
¡°Set off, head straight for the Fairy King¡¯s Court!¡±
Making a snap decision, Otis gave his orders.
The time Link took to collect and test samples served as a period of rest.
The special operations team immediately resumed their journey.
Once they entered the Fairy King Forest, ¡°ck Cat¡± Betty released even more Biomimetic Hummingbirds.
Assad also took out a crystal ball-like Second Ring magic tool.
He muttered a brief incantation to activate the magic tool¡¯s function.
Link was surprised.
In the Wizard World, witchcraft had developed over a long period, and wizards no longer needed incantations.
Every wizard, even Wizard Apprentices, cast magic wordlessly and without a wand.
The incantations are only used as activationnguage for some rune arrays, rune barriers, and special magic tools.
The crystal ball-like Second Ring magic tool, requiring an incantation to activate, must have a powerful and special function.
The dim light from the crystal ball sprinkled uniformly over every member of the special operations team.
After stepping into the Fairy King Forest, any sense of rejection from the forest that Link might have been feeling, vanished in an instant.
Turn enemies into friends?
Impressive!
Link wasn¡¯t sure of the exact function of the crystal ball and spouted off an educated guess.
He then focused his attention on the journey, learning and gaining experience as much as he could.
Deep in the Fairy King Forest, was the location of the Royal Court.
The atmosphere in the pce built of logs had been one of panic for over a ¡°month¡±.
After being injured, the Supreme King entered a sacred ce to sleep and heal his wounds.
After a long discussion behind closed doors, the three princes unveiled an experimental scheme that the Supreme King had been undertaking before he went to battle.
This experiment was said to enhance the innate special powers of all fairy ns.
But the Supreme King fell into a deep sleep before the experiment was finished.
The demons¡± from the Different World would certainly not let this lie; they would still organize a counterattack.
Therefore, the three princes decided to call upon brave warriors to undertake this high-risk experiment.
The sessful ones would stay to continue increasing their strength.
The failures, knowing they were doomed, would bravely charge at the ¡°demons¡± from the Different World, disrupting their deployment and dying their attack.
Under the call of the Royal Court, and the pressing threat of the ¡°demons¡± from the Different World, countless brave fairy warriors stepped forward.
With indomitable spirit and resolute will, they epted the experiment.
Only one in ten were sessful.
Of the initial hundred thousand fairy warriors, less than ten thousand underwent a rather benign transformation and enhancement.
Although their bodies had somewhat mutated, their sanity was intact, and even seemed to have somewhat improved.
But the 90,000 who devolved into deformed warriors could only face certain death bravely whileunching their attacks on the ¡°demons¡± of the Different World.
They hoped that their sacrifice would buy time for the sessful ones to develop further.
However, things suddenly took a turn.
The Supreme King remained asleep, and the royal n¡¯s personal guard waspletely annihted.
The power of the Fairy Royal Family was extremely depleted.
This gave the nobles from various non-rainforest fairy ns a sense that they could topple the Fairy Royal Family¡¯s rule over the fairy world that hadsted for almost a thousand years with just a gentle push.
The deep-seated desire for power and status prompted some of the great nobles, who had long harbored ulterior motives, to take action.
Some formed alliances with each other, some colluded with warriors who were sessfully enhanced by the experiment, and some secretly prepared for rebellion.
The flurry of activity intensified the panic in the Royal Court.
The three princes were kept busy trying to respond to probes from the great nobles of different ns.
Until one day, the ¡°Town Device¡± of the Royal Court sounded a warning. ¡®Demons¡± from the Different World have set foot in the King¡¯s Forest!
The three princes immediately arrived in front of the mirror-shaped ¡°Town Device , intending to observe the invaders¡¯ movements and size.
All they could see was a blur of light and shadowy figures within that light.
Upon closer inspection, the three princes confirmed that there were only seven invaders.
But it was obvious even without giving it much thought.
The intruders who dared to invade the Fairy King Forest with such small numbers were certainly the elite of the elite.
The harsh memory of the fifty thousand strong fairy force attacking a key position defended by only 200 ¡°demons¡± from the Different World, hoping to support the hundred thousand main forces that were at a disadvantage, and ending up being unable to advance a step after a whole ¡°day¡±, suddenly shed across the minds of the three princes.
Especially the eldest prince, whomanded that fifty thousand strong fairy force, shivered at the recall.
It was as if he was back on the battlefield.
At the time when the fifty thousand strong fairy force sang their finalment.
Recalling how the ¡°demons¡± from the Different World hadunched their huge sky fortress that blocked out the sun, dropping explosive spheroids that wiped out the fairy force who were not deterred by death, stepping over the bodies of their own kind, charging again and again, in an instant.
Chapter 314: 73: Of course, Fairies Must be Mischievous_3
Chapter 314: Chapter 73: Of course, Fairies Must be Mischievous_3
Seven demons from the Different World dared to invade King¡¯s Forest. Even if they didn¡¯t carry the same terrifying aura as the previous 200 demons, they were formidable enough to cause distress!
Heavy pressure instantly overwhelmed the hearts of the three princes.
¡°A¡agree to their terms.¡±
The eldest prince swallowed nervously, his eyes filled with fear, his voice trembling as he spoke, ¡°Agree to those high aristocrats, as long as they¡¯re willing to send their troops.¡±
The vitality of the Fairy royal family had reached its limit after losing an army of fifty thousand, a main force of a hundred thousand, and a personal guard of six thousand for the Supreme King. They were too weak to organize a potent resistance.
The ¡°next generation¡± fairies, numbering less than ten thousand, were thest strength of the Fairy royal family.
They must be preserved and not used casually.
Before the mobilized civilian fairies could form a fighting force, they could only call upon the armies of great aristocrats from other ns to resist the invasion of the demons from the Different World.
To buy themselves some time and create breathing space.
However, when facing a foreign enemy, it¡¯s always themon people who are the most selfless, sacrificing themselves for their country.
The high-ranking aristocrats who enjoyed the privileges brought by their power always acted in their own interests. How could they give selflessly? Deploying armies?
Of course.
What conditions can the Royal n offer in return?
What?
Nation perish, species perish, world perish?
The ¡°guests¡± from the Different World didn¡¯tunch an attack immediately after they arrived. Instead, they first sent ambassadors to try to convince the Royal n to agree to a peaceful coexistence and the joint development of the Fairy World.
In the end, the Royal n boldly refused the ambassadors from the Different World and took the initiative to start a war.
Now that the war has been lost, they even n to draft the lower-ss civilians for their high-risk experiments, and also expect us to aid them without any rewards?!
Absurd!
Even the ¡°guests¡± from the Different World don¡¯t expect that.
They promised that once they overthrow the corrupt rule of the Royal n, they won¡¯t forcefully rule the Fairy World.
Fairies would govern their own world. As long as they would cooperate in the exploitation of some resources and asionally dispatch troops to follow them into battles, it would suffice.
Moreover, there will be rewards for doing these things. The prices were clearly marked with no intentions to deceive.
The aristocrats had already contacted the auxiliary troops from the Different World.
Everything that the Wizard promised was true, and everything was fulfilled.
Hence, the resistance among the several Fairy grand aristocrats from different ns was not firm.
They have been haggling with the Royal n and have put forward many conditions.
¡°Have you lost your mind?¡±
The Second Prince, who was strongly advocating for war and refusing topromise, red at the eldest prince, ¡°Do you even realize what you¡¯re saying? Wake up! Out of touch! If we show even the slightest weakness, will those ¡®pack of wolves¡¯ let us go? They will tear us apart!¡±
¡°Then what do you suggest we do?¡±
The eldest prince erupted, ring back usingly, yelling in a heated outburst, ¡°With father dormant, the Royal n at its weakest, without agreeing to those high aristocrats, how are we to resist? With our heads? How many lives do we have? How many times can our heads be cut off?¡±
¡°Enough, both of you, stop arguing!¡±
The youngest but most imposing Third Prince mmed his fist onto the table, releasing an aura that repressed the anger from both the eldest and the Second Prince.
Seeing his hotheaded brothers calming down, the Third Prince calmly added, ¡°Let¡¯s deal with the current situation before we think about the future.¡±
The eldest prince and Second Prince, of course, knew that the Third Prince was referring to the seven demons invading King¡¯s Forest. They asked in unison, ¡°How do we resolve this?¡±
The Third Prince¡¯s eyes shone with wisdom, ¡°Inform the major aristocrats, tell them that the ¡®guests¡¯ from the Different World have sent an ambassador. We, the Royal n, are willing to negotiate peace, but we are limited by the will of the world. We can¡¯t discuss the terms of peace with the ¡®guests¡¯ from the Different World hence they, the aristocrats, should negotiate on our behalf.¡±
After pausing for a moment, the Third Prince emphasized, ¡°Remember, refer to them as ¡®guests¡¯ from the Different World, not ¡®demons¡¯.¡±
¡°I agree.¡±
The Second Prince immediately seconded and then proposed his idea, ¡°Then we could arrange an ambush to kill all the wolves and the ¡®demons¡¯ from the Different World.¡±
The Third Prince nced at the Second Prince, full of violence, and was left speechless.
If they could be murdered, would there be a need for such scheming?
Without offering the Second Prince an exnation, the Third Prince turned to advise the eldest prince, ¡°You handle this. Remember, say it¡¯s a decision you and I have made. The Second Prince disagreed, but we have locked him up.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
The eldest prince calmed down, barely shaking off his fear, understanding the true intention of the Third Prince.
There was no time to lose; readily, he rose from his seat and left the pce, nning to visit the great aristocrats one by one.
As long as he could create a factual conflict between the great aristocrats and the ¡°demons¡± from the Different World, even if the demons suffered no losses, the situation wouldn¡¯t allow them to remain indecisive.
It¡¯s either they sent their troops or they sent their troops!
Chapter 315: 74: Contempt for Meat Eaters i
Chapter 315: Chapter 74: Contempt for Meat Eaters i
¡°Second brother,e closer.¡±
Once the eldest prince left, the Third Prince immediately set tasks for the Second Prince.
Such was the division of responsibilities among the three princes.
The eldest represented the Royal Family, overseeing all domestic and foreign affairs, especially the interactions with different n nobilities;
The second was responsible for the military strength of the Royal n, defending the Royal Pce and various sacred sites;
The third, intelligent and smart, was the best sessor to the throne. However, due to his physical defects, he could only stay behind the scenes, making decisions.
¡°What is it, just say it.¡±
The Second Prince voluntarily seat next to the Third Prince and leaned in to listen.
¡°You should secretly shift the ¡®new generation¡¯ of Fairies and station them where our father is asleep.¡±
After the establishment of the defense, cut off all internal and external contacts. Guard our father until he wakes up.
Regardless of what happens in the outside world, or if the Royal Court is destroyed, or even if the eldest brother and I personally plead for your help, do not pay attention.¡±
Preserve your vitality and peacefully wait for our father to wake up.¡±
The Third Prince, with a grave expression, slowly outlined his n.
His tone was indifferent yet firm which revealed a determination to hold on till the very end without giving in.
¡°Third brother, you mean¡¡±
Although hot-headed, the Second Prince wasn¡¯t politically naive; he certainly understood the reasons behind the Third Prince¡¯s arrangements.
On one hand, he didn¡¯t feel optimistic about the direction of the war.
On the other hand, he was worried about a mole in the Royal n, And that their hard-earned assets may be taken away by other families, Even more, he worried that the ¡°demons¡± from the Different World who conspired with some powerful nobles would attack our sleeping father. As for not paying attention even when the eldest prince and the third prince personally pleaded for help, it was actually easy to understand.
There were countless ways to impersonate others.
One could even plunder memories, resulting in perfect impersonation.
Once the Second Prince falls for the imposter¡¯s plea,mands the troops to move, and leaves the sleeping king to be attacked,
The consequences were unimaginable.
Besides, it was also a preparation to throw everything into a desperate plight, readying for a do-or-die situation with the Royal Court.
Prepared to die generously!
¡°As long as you understand.¡±
The Third Prince stopped the Second Prince in the middle of his words and sighed worriedly, ¡°Second brother, I have to tell you, I have no confidence in our future. The enemy is too strong, far beyond what we can handle. It¡¯s like¡¡± Swallowing the words he originally wanted to say, the Third Prince came up with a more vivid analogy, sighing:
¡°Dealing with us is like our tactics in curtailing the piggy beasts; both sides are not even on the same level.
If it weren¡¯t for the help of World Will, our father said that he wouldn¡¯t have been able to return. We probably would¡¯ve been killed or captured by now.
The enemies are strong enough to roll over the Royal Court directly.
They didn¡¯t, probably out of some consideration.
Our resistance is destined to be in vain.¡±
The Second Prince knew all this too well.
Since the end of the first battle, when the two elite armies were decimated, he had a foreboding feeling.
Under the pulsion¡± of the World Will, our father had to personallymand the main army of 100,000 forces to fight hastily, which led to another disastrous defeat, losing nearly 160,000 troops.
He himself was badly injured, and narrowly escaped.
The Second Prince¡¯s foreboding feeling became even worse.
He kept moring for a tough stance and refusal to submit.
The truth was he was scared. If even he wasn¡¯t being tough anymore, and wanted to submit, no one in the whole n, group, or race would stay tough or resist anymore.
Considering this, the Second Prince sighed deeply, stood up, and strode out of the pce.
Sighing won¡¯t solve any problems.
Since the most flexible-minded Third Brother has already made up his mind to die,
And assigned him with a task that only he can fulfill,
Then he will leave the affairs of the Royal Court to the eldest and the Third Prince to handle.
He will swear to defend thest hope of this world, the king of the Rainforest Fairy n, the Supreme King of all fairy ns in the Fairy World!
Hoping that the Supreme King can chase out those terrifying ¡°demons¡± from the Different World.
To restore the utopian order of the Fairy World!
The nobles kept a close watch on the movement of the Royal Pce.
At this stage, any move the Royal Pce made would tug at their hearts.
The news of the eldest prince visiting the Mansion of the High Mountain Fairy
Duke with much fanfare quickly spread throughout the Royal Court.
It instantly became the hot topic and trending point of discussion.
All the fairies were waiting for the oue of this visit.
The lower ss civilians, regardless of which n¡¯s fairy they were, were all hoping for a good result as long as they cared about the world¡¯s security and the continuity of the race.
The nobles were mulling over how to face all the possible changes in the situation.
Whether to go to war, to negotiate, how to fight, how to negotiate, all these needed careful considerations.
How to preserve the family¡¯s power and status, or even to further advance it, were most of the nobles¡¯ concerns.
As for defending the world, well¡
Isn¡¯t that the Royal n¡¯s duty?
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
The Royal n, especially the Royal Family dominated the world for nearly a thousand years, they¡¯ve been exploiting people for nearly a thousand years, and enjoying the luxuries for nearly a thousand years. It¡¯s about time for them to stand up and make sacrifices.
After conversing for an ¡°hour¡±.
The High Mountain Fairy Duke personally saw off the eldest prince outside the mansion.
The two fairies walked out hand in hand, which indeed surprised many of the Fairy Nobles.
The High Mountain Fairy Duke¡¯s attitude towards the ¡°invasion¡± was the most negative.
After the Supreme King fell into sleep, he even publicly dered that the ¡°visitors¡± from the Different World came with the intent of cooperation. It was the Supreme King who started this doomed war for his own benefit.
Chapter 316: 74: Contempt for Meat Eaters_2
Chapter 316: Chapter 74: Contempt for Meat Eaters_2
They called upon themoner ss of the High Mountain Fairies, advocating not to bleed heedlessly, nor mindlessly sacrifice themselves.
They should keep their useful bodies intact, so to cooperate with the ¡°visitors¡± from another world after the war, to build a better Fairy World.
In several royal court assemblies, the High Mountain Fairy Duke shed heatedly with the eldest prince.
Now here he was, putting on a show of deep camaraderie.
Who was he trying to impress?
The nobility? Or themoners?
Those in favor of war? Or those advocating for peace?
What message was he trying to convey?
Were the High Mountain Fairies preparing their entire n to heed the royal family¡¯s call and resist the ¡°invasion¡± to the death?
Or was the royal family not nning to resist until the very end, intending to negotiate with the ¡°demon,¡± no, the ¡°visitor¡± from the other world?
For a time, the situation had be intricatelyplicated.
¡°Your Highness¡¯s righteousness will not be forgotten by the Fairy royal family.¡± Standing outside the mansion gate, the eldest prince made pleasantries. Afterwards, he bid farewell to the High Mountain Fairy Duke, boarded his carriage, and prepared to visit the next house.
¡°Your Highness, remember our agreement. I won¡¯t fail to live up to your trust and I hope that you will keep your promise and don¡¯t go back on your word,¡± the High Mountain Fairy Duke suddenly interjected, his voice booming like a bell, echoing around the mansion.
The eldest prince, who was about to embark on his carriage, paused momentarily before returning to normal and boarding the vehicle.
The carriage drawn by two Tusked Savage Elephant Beasts moved steadily away.
The High Mountain Fairy Duke watched them leave, appearing somewhat reluctant to part.
Truth be told, both fairies were mutteringints about each other in their hearts ¨C one calling the other a miser, and the other deriding him for his excessive greed.
After leaving the mansion of the High Mountain Fairy Duke, the eldest prince¡¯s vehicle immediately headed toward the mansion of the Fairy Demon Duke.
Today, the eldest prince nned to visit all the dukes of the major ns who had gathered in the royal court.
He hoped to persuade them all to send out troops to wee the envoy of the ¡°demon¡±¡ªno, the ¡°visitor¡± from the different world.
Afterwards, it would depend on his second brother¡¯s ability to provoke conflict between the two parties.
Within the Fairy King Forest.
¡°Stop, rest.¡±
After speeding forward for more than an hour, Boss Otis suddenly issued amand.
The special task force immediatelyplied, halting their advance, maintaining a cautious formation, taking a break, hydrating, and eating on the spot.
Everyone, including Boss Otis, only consumed their own carried water and food.
Nobody shared their food or water with others.
Link took a note of that.
And reflected on his actions during the contest in the second district.
After a brief rest and observing that there was seemingly still some time before moving on.
Link took the opportunity to contact Assad in a private chat, asking for confirmation: ¡°We¡¯ve moved this smoothly, bypassing all the obvious and hidden sentries and fairy settlements along the way, does that mean our route had been scouted in advance?¡±
Although Betty, the ¡°ck Cat¡±, had been controlling dozens of biomimetic hummingbirds and scouting around them throughout the journey.
However, the decisions on the route had always been made by Boss Otis in advance.
Betty¡¯s reconnaissance was more like a precautionary measure, to avoid falling into traps.
Assad raised his eyebrows and exined with a smile:
¡°Conquering the heavens is not just about fighting and killing; it also involves dealing with people.
The first thing Sage Palo did when his army arrived at the Fairy World was not to build a forward base, but to send envoys to contact the ruling party of the Fairy World, the Fairy royal family.
If they were willing to be a subsidiary world to the Wizard World, willing to contribute, willing to help ¡®influence¡¯ the World¡¯s Will of the Fairy World with that of the Wizard World, Sage Palo could retain their ruling position. Moreover, he could even help them develop.
However, the Fairy royal family refused and even audaciously killed the envoy, initiating the war.
That is why there was the first battle of reactive retaliation and the following equivalent retaliation of the second battle.¡±
¡®Wait,¡±
Link interrupted Assad, asking skeptically, ¡°An envoy killed?¡±
Given Sage Palo¡¯s methods, and the usual practice of the Wizard World in conquering the heavens, if something as outrageous as the killing of an envoy had really happened, it wouldn¡¯t have led to just two moderate battles. (The fairies weep)
They would definitely haveunched the most thorough and craziest revenge. The entire Fairy World might already have been ploughed once by now.
Even if notpletely wiped out, but certainly decimated at the least.
¡°It was just a puppet controlled by an Intelligence Mechanism Wizard, not a real person,¡±
Assad knew what Link was unsure about and promptly provided an exnation.
At this, Link suddenly realized.
If it wasn¡¯t a real person, it wouldn¡¯t be considered a significant event.
The most they would do would be to annihte the Fairy royal family, demonstrating that wizards should not be disrespected.
And, incidentally, to take revenge for the innocent intelligent puppet who had been killed.
However, it would not result in wiping out the entire Fairy race.
At this point, Assad continued:
¡°Not just one puppet was sent out.
There were also four other puppets sent simultaneously to the High Mountain Fairy Tribe, the Fairy Demon Tribe, the River Demon Tribe, and the Deep Sea Fairy Tribe.
Sage Palo promised that as long as the leaders of the four major fairy tribes restrain their people, the Fairy World, after the extermination of the Fairy royal family, can be co-govemed by the four tribes.
As long as they are willing to represent the Fairy World and be a subsidiary of the Wizard World.
Who would not be tempted by such generous conditions?
As long as they are tempted, what information can¡¯t be obtained?
What do the defense maps and route maps of Fairy King Forest amount to?¡± Link nodded, indicating he understood.
He had been thinking¡ªfrom leaving the forward camp in the flying vehicle, to parachuting near the Fairy King Forest, and then, the response and route choice after entering the Fairy King Forest¡ªeverything felt a bit odd.
It was as if there was an invisible fairy leading the way in the front..
Chapter 317: 74: Despise for Meat Eaters_3
Chapter 317: Chapter 74: Despise for Meat Eaters_3
Subsequently, Link pondered the true purpose of this specialized squad¡¯s deep pration into enemy territory.
He always felt it wasn¡¯t as simple as it seemed on the surface.
¡°What are you thinking about?¡±
Observing Link plunged into his thoughts, Assad lifted an eyebrow and curiously asked.
Link replied frankly, ¡°I¡¯m pondering the real purpose of this mission.¡±
Assad chuckled, countering, ¡°Why do you think the academy assigned Sage Palo to conquer the Fairy World instead of another world?¡±
This question, Link had not considered before.
Or more specifically, Link had not pondered this issue from Sage Palo¡¯s perspective.
Link recalled a phrase he¡¯d read in his previous life: war is a continuation of politics.
The academy wouldn¡¯t whimsically wage a campaign against the Fairy World as if it were child¡¯s y.
There had to be a motive.
Sage Palo also did not resort to brute force immediately, but opted for diplomacy before resorting to warfare.
Even during the two battles, he hadn¡¯t employed overly excessiverge-scale strategic Magic Tools.
Only during the second battle did he send a Sky Fortress bombing the advancing Fairy royal reinforcements who were about to overrun the Personal Guard Army¡¯s defensive line.
The Personal Guard Armyposed of Sage Palo¡¯s most loyal followers, all Tier 2 wizards, was umted over several decades.
Engaging arger force, holding back the fifty thousand Fairy royal reinforcements, was not the rightful usage of the Personal Guard Army.
The army should either apany Sage Palo on the front lines, crushing the enemy¡¯s primary force, or serve as the decisive factor by directly raiding the vulnerable Fairy King¡¯s Forest.
That would be the right way to utilize the Personal Guard Army.
However, Sage Palo didn¡¯t use his best troops to their full potential.
Not all of the Fairy main force on the battlefield, numbering a hundred thousand, was destroyedpletely; many were taken as prisoners instead.
The front line Command Post even organized numerous institutions led by the Medical Department to study the issue upon realizing the fairies were undergoingrge-scale aberrations.
Looking back, the Medical Department¡¯s definitions of ¡°gue¡± and ¡°aberration¡± may have been from a perspective issue, not an issue of knowledge and technology.
Various thought threads fluttered inside Link¡¯s mind, then he seized the focal point.
¡°Conquering the Fairy World isn¡¯t challenging, securing it intact is the key.¡±
Having fathomed the key point, Link¡¯s eyes lit up brighter. His words were responses to Assad as well as inner monologues,
¡°The academy passed the Fairy World to Sage Palo for practice,beling it as a Resource World.
The most valuable aspects of the Fairy World, in my humble opinion, are perhaps its mineral resources and poption.
What the academy needs are wise but not weak fairies, not zombies who have forsaken intellect for a smidgen of enhancement.
Therefore, our mission deep into enemy¡¯s rear is to figure out the truth behind the fairies¡¯ suddenrge-scale aberrations and find solutions to prevent the situation from further expanding!¡±
Assad silently listened to Link¡¯s words, habitually raised an eyebrow, and smiled,
¡°Essentially it¡¯s correct. However, you can broaden your thinking a bit more.
If it cannot be resolved or it spreads further, one can also perfect the strategies for biochemical modification and enhancement of fairies, right?
The legion doesn¡¯tck scientists specializing in biological studies, why do you think I specifically requested Sage Palo to assign you to us?
I value your fully developed train of thoughts and your proposal of a potentially sessfulplete n.¡±
Link nodded, having a clearer understanding of his role.
With a clear role, he had guidance for his actions, and thus was less likely to make mistakes.
At this moment, ¡°ck Cat¡± Betty reported via team channel, ¡°Captain, there are three fairy squads approaching from 1 o¡¯clock direction, 10 witch miles away. How should we respond?¡±
¡°Let theme.¡±
Boss Otis¡¯s voice followed, ¡°They are fairies sent by the nobles to deliver information.¡±
Obviously, as a Tier 3 Wizard and captain of this special squad, Boss Otis knew more information than all team members, including Assad, the ostensible head of intelligence.
¡°Affirmative.¡±
Upon agreement, Betty returned into silent mode.
Hearing the conversation, Link could not help but sigh.
Guides are everywhere..
Chapter 318: 75= The Beginning of the 3rd Battle_l
Chapter 318: Chapter 75= The Beginning of the 3rd Battle_l
Forward Base.
In the meeting room, heads and deputies of various departments have gathered.
Sage Palo sits at the head of the table, saying nothing.
The Director of the Staff Department exins the newly formted third campaign operation n to those present by using a holographic projection map.
Originally, the front-linemand did not wish to end the task of conquering the Heavens in the third campaign.
The idea was to carry out one or two more campaigns in order to test in real battle what can only be described as a hodgepodge legion crudely thrown together by the administrative department of the academy.
From an external perspective, this would serve to improve the legion s scheduling, coordination, and tactical discipline through warfare.
Internally, the front-linemand nned on using actions to investigate ¡°hostile forces¡± infiltrating and paralyzing the forward base, trimming unqualified members from the rear camp and other departments, identifying the excellent ones, and establishing aprehensive internal management and self-correction mechanism.
Despite whether Link Grande came with conscious efforts to make meritorious deeds or simply arrived here by chance, his arrival sped up both the internal and external processes.
Especially the external exercise.
The Director and two Deputy Directors of the Medical Department indeed misdiagnosed therge-scale mutation of the Fairies.
This consequently led to a miscalction by the front-linemand.
It rendered the sixth version of the third campaign operation n, which was formted by the Staff Department, to still focus primarily on improving the legion¡¯s scheduling, coordination, and tactical knowledge.
As per the adjusted n, namely the seventh version that the Director of the
Staff Department is introducing now, it focuses on swift attacks.
Emphasizing the high mobility of the legion, taking full advantage of the overwhelming fire power, the n is all about securing swift victories across multiple points.
On one hand, it involves directly attacking the various heavily fortified strongholds of the Fairy Royal n, eliminating the remaining viable forces of the Fairy Royal n,
On the other hand, under the guidance of a special team, it involves
¡°beheading¡± the Fairy King¡¯s Court.
Through swift and surprising tactics, plentiful results and aprehensive victory in the third campaign are anticipated.
With an advantageous position, the Grand Nobles of the Fairy ns would be pressured into agreement, willingly or unwillingly, to be tributaries, Actively assisting the will of the Wizard World to ¡°infest¡± the will of the Fairy World,
Which would transform the Fairy World into the shape of the Wizard World while preserving as many of the original elements of the Fairy World as possible.
¡°In conclusion, the essence of this operation is that once the 7-member special squad has found the sleeping location of the Fairy King, the whole army will move out,unching surprise attacks on the strongholds of the Fairy Royal n and raiding the Fairy King¡¯s Court.¡±
After the Director of the Staff Department concludes the specific n, he sums
up,
¡°Well, sit down.¡±
Sage Palo gestures, and then asks, ¡°What do all of you think about this n?
Are there any problems? Can it be done?¡±
Themander of the first main force troop abruptly stands up and reports, ¡°Requesting to change from nking on the left to bing the vanguard, responsible for the frontal assault.
Themander of the second main force troop assigned as vanguard in the
Staff Department¡¯s operational n, is instantly rmed by this,
Also standing up abruptly, he bellows, ¡°The second troop is confident in aplishing the main attack task, and there is no need for unrted people to interfere.¡±
The Commander of the third main force who was given nking duty on the right keeps his head down and remains silent.
The so-called ¡°hodgepodge¡± main forces are aplex mix of various sources.
Themanders of the first and second main forces, both born into the Storm Sea New Blood, after several decades of fighting, have be Tier 3 wizards. Holding lead positions over 300 Tier 1 and 2 wizards, they still harbor ambitions to climb higher.
Naturally unwilling tog behind others, they long to make more meritorious deeds.
Sage Palo himself has walked this path before.
His Personal Guard Army are his direct line of forces, they have weathered storms, crossed through life-threatening challenges, and followed him to this day.
If themanders of the first and second main forces wish to follow this path, they must strive to take the lead.
Themander of the third main force hails from a medium-sized Half Blood Family.
It took the efforts of several generations of his family to groom two mam forcemanders, and he is one of them.
How could he possibly risk his family¡¯s economic foundation, working himself to death for Sage Palo when the benefits cannot be maximized?
At the very least, he still has a bottom line and a sense of morality for not cking off in the Heavenly Conquest.
What more can you expect from him?
Sage Palo doesn¡¯t mind.
He appreciates the initiative of themanders of the first and second main forces and does not reject the nonchnce of themander of the third main force.
Everyone has their own way of living.
However, after the conquest of the Fairy Worldes to an end, Sage Palo will request the academy to have the third main force transferred out.
Better tock than include any undesirables!
¡°The originalbat n remains unchanged. Those who were assigned to attack will attack, and those who were given nking duties will carry them out. On the battlefield, merit will be determined by the results of the war. Those with ambition, and those with capabilities, strive for it on the battlefield.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
With simple words, Sage Palo easily resolved the disagreement between the two main forcemanders vying for the main assault mission.
Next, Sage Palo looks towards the chief officer of the rear camp and kindly asks, ¡°Can the logistics ensureplete support, without any mistakes?
This question, casually asked, but without any trace of anger,
Sends chills down the spine of the overall person in charge of the rear camp.
He does not belong to Sage Palo¡¯s direct line of forces and even has deep connections with the ¡°hostile forces.
Otherwise, those female spies equivalent to KGB Swallows would not have been able to infiltrate the rear camp and some parts of the forward base as easily as walking into a market.
It was all because this person in charge of the rear camp was turning a blind eye and wasx in his duties.
He had not expected that these female spies would be so vicious this time, stirring such a tumult, paralyzing half of the rear camp and a third of the forward base.
At the most critical moment, they were just one step away from dying theunch time of the Sky Fortress in the second campaign.
Chapter 319: 75: The Beginning of the 3rd
Chapter 319: Chapter 75: The Beginning of the 3rd
Battle_2
You must know, the Sky Fortress is providing support for Sage Palo¡¯s Personal Guard Army.
If this situation causes unnecessary casualties to the Personal Guard Army, his guilt would be great.
At the crucial moment, the Rear Camp¡¯s person in charge resisted the pressure from the ¡°enemy forces¡±, ensuring the timely deployment of the Sky Fortress.
Afterwards, the person-in-charge promptly severed ties with the ¡°enemy forces¡± and candidly confessed everything to Sage Palo.
This is why he is sitting here, still participating in the discussion meeting for the seventh version of the battle n for the third campaign.
Wiping the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, the person-in-charge said passionately, ¡°I guarantee there won¡¯t be any problems. If there are any mistakes, I will take full responsibility.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Sage Palo nodded, indicating satisfaction, and then looked at the Director of Logistics at the forward base, ¡°Do you have any issues?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
The Director of Logistics stood up to answer.
¡°What issue?¡±
Sage Palo immediately asked seriously.
¡°Before an army isunched, supplies are prepared first. This is true in all times and ces.
In all the wars across the heavens, logistics is of utmost importance.
The Rear Camp¡¯s person-in-charge is responsible for the gathering and transportation of supplies.
The Director of Logistics at the forward base is in charge of theprehensive supply of the front-line troops.
If there is a minor mishap at the Rear Camp, it can still rely on the storage at the forward base to scrape by.
If there is a problem with the logistics at the forward base, it could affect the entire battle situation.
Sage Palo couldn¡¯t help but take it seriously.
¡°We originally estimated four to five campaigns, so we stocked up too much in the early stage.
If there are no more battles, the cost of storing these supplies will exceed the cost of the supplies themselves.
So, I suggest raising the baseline of firepower output by 2 points, and consume these supplies. It¡¯s better than wasting resources by letting them rot.¡±
The Director of Logistics said with an embarrassed face.
Sage Palo, the three leading Army¡¯s Captains, and the Personal Guard Army¡¯s Captain all wanted to beat this guy upon hearing his words.
It wasn¡¯t an issue of supply shortage, but too many supplies in storage.
Is that even an issue?
Front-line troops alwaysin about shortages, never excesses.
Regardless of how many supplies are distributed, they can always be consumed.
Is he embarrassed?
This guy must be pretending.
Bah!
¡°Then, increase it by 2 points.¡±
Sage Palo waved his hand, agreeing with the Director of Logistics¡¯ suggestion.
At this point, the chief of the Staff Department grimaced like someone suffering from constipation.
Damn it, cozying up to the three leading armies and the Personal Guard Army is fine!
But don¡¯t step on my head to climb up!
It seems as if thebat ns formted by my Staff Department are not meticulous enough, overlooking the storage situation of the Logistics Department, right?
Damn!
The Personal Guard Army¡¯s Captain looked at Sage Palo expectantly.
What does being a Personal Guard Army mean?
It means being Sage Palo¡¯s personal guards at all times.
The mission is to secure Sage Palo¡¯s safety (cross out)
The mission is to make sure Sage Palo is not disturbed by small fries duringmand.
However, the thinking of the Personal Guard Army¡¯s Captain had not yet shifted from that of the leading Army¡¯s Captains.
During the first campaign, he observed everything eagerly, finding it all very boring.
He missed the old days of fierce and intense battles.
During the second campaign, he insisted on going to the front line.
Sage Palo, who was very annoyed, threw a defensive mission at him which made him very happy.
In the battle n for the third campaign, the Personal Guard Army acted as the general reserve. Before the most critical moment arrived, they would not move lightly.
Given the strength disyed by Fairy World in the first two campaigns,
The general reserve will not move!
Thus, the Personal Guard Army¡¯s Captain was hoping that Sage Palo would assign a different task to him.
Unfortunately, his hopes fell through, and he was directly ignored.
Sage Palo skipped over the Personal Guard Army¡¯s Captain and turned to another Tier 3 Witch in the Intelligence Department, asking, ¡°Any issues?¡±
The other party gave a concise answer: ¡°No issues.¡±
With that, there was nothing that needed to be adjusted in the seventh version of the battle n for the third campaign.
¡°Action.¡±
Sage Palo stood up decisively.
¡°Yes.¡±
The chiefs and deputies of all departments immediately stood up and responded loudly.
Everyone left the meeting in an orderly manner to carry out their respective battle ns.
Not long after, the forward base became noisy.
The Logistics Department took the lead in action.
Vehicles started, machinery began operating, supplies were transferred.
The three main armies quickly assembled, each boarding a Sky Fortress filled with ¡°ammunition¡± well-prepared by the Logistics Department.
A roaring sound.
The ground trembled.
Three Sky Fortresses rose from the ground, their powerful engines emitting tremendous mes as they quickly ascended from the ground to the sky.
The Sky Fortress was massive, casting arge shadow.
Its cold ck paint emitted a strong aura of killing intent.
The powerful engines changed direction, from vertical to horizontal.
Boom, boom, boom. Like the helicarriers in the Avengers, the Sky Fortresses smoothly transitioned from hovering to high-speed flight, heading towards their respective battlefields.
Under the escort of the Personal Guard Army, Sage Palo boarded a newer model Sky Fortress with more firepower and advanced functions,gging a bit behind.
This Sky Fortress served as the Wartime Command Post for the third battle.
Departments such as the Staff Department, Liaison Department, and Intelligence Department were all gathered in theprehensivemand hall of the fortress, bustling about.
In the Fairy King Forest.
The special forces had just made contact with three troops sent by different Fairy Nobles.
Surprises oftene unexpectedly.
One of the troops unexpectedly brought two very important pieces of news.
Chapter 320: 75: The Beginning of the 3rd
Chapter 320: Chapter 75: The Beginning of the 3rd
Battle_3
The first was the sleeping ce of the Fairy King, and the second was the location where the ordinary fairies willingly offered themselves for experimentation.
The only problem was that these two ces were quite far apart from each other.
Even if the special forces team wasn¡¯t afraid of exposing themselves and took out their transportation vehicles, moving at the fastest speed, it would still take more than two ¡°hours¡±
The time left for the special forces team was already pretty limited.
Only Boss Otis, the team leader, and the falsely informed intelligence director, Assad, knew about the earlyunch of the third battle.
ording to the battle n, the frontal assault of the Second Group, the nking attacks of the First and Third Groups in the early stage, were all feints, serving to cover for the activities of the special forces team.
If the special forces team¡¯s rear operations failed, only then would the forces on the frontlines bolster their attack, turning from a false offensive to a major offensive.
Even if it led to greater ¡°losses¡±, they would directly roll over the Fairy royal family.
Hmm¡
Less gain is a loss.
This calction is correct.
The speed of the Sky Fortress was quite slower than the flying vehicle that transported the special forces team for their airborne operations behind enemy lines.
Regardless, the time left to be given to the special forces team wasn¡¯t much.
No matter how much they calcted, there was only less than 2 ¡°hours¡± of buffer time left.
And less than 1 ¡°hour¡± of action time.
In the end, it was the two pieces of information sent back by Boss Otis to the forward base that yed a role.
The message indicating that the Fairy King did not even bother to pick up his lost severed arm while fleeing confirmed the information that upon returning to the Fairy King¡¯s Court, the Fairy King plunged into sleep to recover.
The testing results of the blood from the Fairy King¡¯s severed arm suggested that he had performed biochemical modifications and enhancements on himself before the second battle.
This prompted Sage Palo, who had always been suspicious of the Fairy World, to decide to advance the initiation of the third battle.
With the favor of the Will of the Wizard World, the Fairy World¡¯s Will can only kill or expel Sage Palo once.
Given the wounds the Fairy King sustained initially, Sage Palo didn¡¯t believe he could recover on his own.
The so-called recovery by sleeping would only be possible if the Fairy World¡¯s Will intervened, otherwise it would bepletely impossible.
And if the Fairy World¡¯s Will took action, it would certainly not just heal the Fairy King¡¯s wounds.
They would certainlyplete the biochemical modification and enhancement that the Fairy King had initiated to boost his Fairy Inherent Abilities.
If they hesitated any longer, Wizard Palo might have to face a fully recovered Level 5 Fairy King.
Even with the assistance of the Wizard World¡¯s Will and the legions, while Sage Palo did not fear a Level 5 Fairy King, he didn¡¯t want to make an easy task more difficult.
These were Sage Palo¡¯s considerations.
The challenge faced by Boss Otis, the one he needed to consider, was whether to attack the ¡°Biological Factory¡± or recon on the ¡°Sleeping Sanctuary¡±.
Choose one of the two.
Or be ambitious and take both at once.
Boss Otis had a prudent character and had steadily progressed to be a Tier 3 Wizard.
Therefore, he chose both!
¡°Move out, move at full speed, target: ¡®Biological Factory¡¯, mission: destroy.¡±
Boss Otis made his decision and immediately gave the order.
The special forces team suddenly exhibited apletely different demeanor than when they moved in stealth before.
Four fully armed off-road vehicles returned to their normal size from their miniaturized state.
Link sat in the third off-road vehicle, sandwiched in the middle by Assad and ¡°Wildcat¡± Betty.
¡°W00H00!¡±
Lokan was alone in the lead off-road vehicle, yelling out loud, speeding away.
The twins, Onyx and Mark were in the second off-road vehicle, providing firepower at a moment¡¯s notice.
If the magic tools don¡¯t fail, prioritize using magic tools.
If the magic tools fail, switch to witchcraft.
Boss Otis, as always, covered the rear.
The convoy of off-road vehicles surged wildly through the Fairy King¡¯s Forest, swirling up a tornado of fallen leaves, soil, and broken branches.
Their swagger was as loud as it was impressive.
Royal Court, Royal Pce.
Through the mirror-like ¡°Town Device¡±, they saw the vague images of three enemy Fairy troops.
The Third Prince was already quite angry.
Seeing such swagger from the enemy now blew his top.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself, then pushed his wheelchair to a secret chamber that only he could enter.
This secret chamber was a ce that even the Fairy King had never entered before.
The Third Prince stopped in front of the altar at the center of the chamber.
He stood in the eerie silence, hesitant and undecided.
Chapter 321: 76: Unanticipated Change_1
Chapter 321: Chapter 76: Unanticipated Change_1
The term ¡°demon¡± from the Different World is merely a derogatory term used by the Royal n.
The aim is to incite a spirit ofmon hatred among the ordinary fairy folk. While it is true that our enemiese from a different world, they are not necessarily ¡°demons¡±.
Up until now, the enemy has not raised their butcher¡¯s knife, ormitted mass murder. They have been remarkably restrained.
Like the strange envoy they sent at first, they came here to exploit the Fairy World, not to bring about destruction.
In his heart, the Third Prince genuinely believes that if they can keep their promise, it wouldn¡¯t be a bad idea for the Royal n to represent the Fairy World and be their vassal.
Unfortunately, both sides are destined to be enemies.
Because the will of the Fairy World would never allow the Fairy Royal Family, especially the Fairy King, to surrender to them.
When you receive a gift from fate, its price has already been silently set. The royal family of the Fairy King epted the ¡°help¡± from the newly awakened will of the world more than a thousand years ago, and ascended to the top of the world, ruling the world.
And this has led to today¡¯s situation.
When confronted with foreign enemies from a different world, we cannot retreat orpromise, we must resist to the death together with the will of the world.
We must fight to the end.
We must fight down to thest soldier, down to ourst breath.
The attitude of the Fairy King determines the position of the Fairy royal family. In view of this, the Third Prince can only bury his ¡°appeasing¡± thoughts deep in his heart.
Stand firm, rack your brains, and find ways to counter the enemies from the different world.
including some strategies that could pose greater danger to the Fairy World.
For example¡
The Third Prince looked at the altar before him, hesitating deeply within. This altar was identally discovered by the Third Prince in a discarded holy ce.
It was broken at the time and in unusable condition.
After studying and experimenting, the Third Prince repaired the altar and found out that it was connected to a demon sealed within the barrier of the Fairy World!
Not the derogatory term ¡°demon¡± from the different world, but an actual demon!
After a few short exchanges, the Third Prince understood the demon¡¯s needs. It wishes to escape the barrier of the Fairy World and gain freedom.
In return, the demon would deliver precious knowledge to the Third Prince which could enhance the strength of the royal family, the Royal n, and even the entire Fairy Race, and elerate the development of civilization.
It even generously gave out part of the knowledge in advance.
The Third Prince intuitively felt that once this demon is introduced into the Fairy World, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, the knowledge provided by the demon is indeed extraordinary. With just a minor trick, the King found the method to enhance the fairy¡¯s inherent ability.
Unfortunately, the timing is not right and there¡¯s not enough time.
If the ¡°demon¡± from the Different World hade a bitte, the King could have fully perfected the enhancement method.
He wouldn¡¯t have been seriously injured by the enemy¡¯s strike!
¡°Sigh!¡±
The Third Prince sighed deeply, momentarily setting aside his thoughts of contacting the demon.
The situation hasn¡¯t deteriorated to such an extent where it¡¯s necessary to resort to the power of the demon.
Now he needs to consider how to stop this elite squad of the ¡°demon¡± from the Different World.
Pushing his wheelchair out of the secret room, the Third Prince prepared to make arrangements and see if he could hinder the arrogant ¡°demon¡± from the Different World that¡¯s advancing deep into the King¡¯s Forest.
But even if he couldn¡¯t stop them, the voice of the fairy should be heard. He needs to tell the ¡°demon¡± from the Different World that this is Fairy King Forest, not a backyard they cane and go as they please.
As for the target of the ¡°demon¡± elite squad from the Different World.
The Royal Court, the ¡°Biological Factory¡±, and the holy ce where the King is sleeping are no doubt their targets.
Only these three ces have strategic value.
They cane for the Royal Court. It is filled with the elite forces of the Fairy royal family guarding the Royal Court and they can make a desperate resistance.
Even if they can¡¯t eliminate the elite squad, they won¡¯t be powerless to fight back.
Even if the other party disregards the code of conduct and calls upon the giant creature for a violent attack on the Royal Court, it won¡¯t be as if they can¡¯t resist.
They could simply drag those enigmatic grand dukes into mutual destruction if necessary.
Exhausted.
Let¡¯s leave it at that.
They need to pay more attention to the ¡°Biological Factory¡± and deploy more troops there for joint defense.
If absolutely necessary, blow up the entire area where the ¡°Biological Factory¡± is located.
After all, the King has better enhancement and transformation techniques. Even if they manage to take away a single ¡°demon¡± from the Different World, it would be a win.
Any sacrifice they have to make would be worth it.
As for the holynd where the King slumbers, the Third Prince thinks there¡¯s no need for additional arrangements.
As of now, the two strongest military forces of the entire Fairy World have all stealthily moved there.
Besides sending out a notice for them to be careful and cautious, the Third Prince can¡¯t do much else.
Just after the Third Prince had finished making arrangements against the elite squad of the ¡°demon¡± from the Different World.
The eldest prince, who should have been visiting the various n¡¯s grand dukes, hastily returned.
The eldest prince¡¯s face was pale, and his eyes radiated panic and fear. His footsteps were fast and urgent,pletely unlike his usualposed demeanor.
¡°What happened? Don¡¯t panic, tell me slowly.¡±
The Third Prince wheeled forward to greet him, speaking in a soft and gentle voice, trying to soothe the eldest prince¡¯s emotions.
¡°They attacked! Theyunched an attack!¡±
It was a desperate situation, so how could the eldest prince not panic or speak slowly.
He shouted, ¡°Three directions, three fortresses, all will be under attack at the same time. They have dispatched three of those monster-like Sky Fortresses! How do we fight this? How can we fight this?¡±
His voice was huge, close to a roar.
The panic and fear embedded in his tone was apparent even without careful listening.
Chapter 322: 76: Unanticipated Change_2
Chapter 322: Chapter 76: Unanticipated Change_2
The Third Prince¡¯s calm and gentle expression instantly froze, his face stiffened.
All his schemes fell apart.
In the face of absolute power, cunning plots might be useful, but they could not y a decisive role.
Any attempts at sowing discord or forcing a deployment of troops became empty talk.
The enemy would not fall for feints.
Dispatching an elite squad deep into the King¡¯s Forest was not much of a concern.
What followed was a full-scale assault.
The intensity and ferocity of this assault was greater than the sum of the previous two battles.
The stark contrast of power made the Third Prince feel a stifling pressure.
Taking several deep breaths, the Third Prince forcibly calmed himself and asked, ¡°Who else knows about this news?¡±
The eldest prince opened his mouth wide, panting heavily to stabilize his chaotic breathing and pounding heart.
After several heaving breaths, the eldest prince struggled to say, ¡°All the fairies know about it. The situation outside ispletely chaotic.
Those Different World ¡®demons¡¯ are advancing on three fronts, making no attempts at concealment. The massive momentum is causing a great disturbance.
Any fairy that lifts its head can see the enormous objects in the sky that are blocking out the sun.
The news has long since spread from the front line to the rear, and it¡¯s entirely out in the open now.
When I returned to the pce, those old guys were all nning to leave the Royal Court and return to their respective ns.
In this urgent situation, I ordered the Royal Court to enter a state of emergency and closed all entrances and exits.
Without yourmand or mine, no one is allowed to leave.¡±
The Third Prince frowned, ¡°Did they agree to this?¡±
¡°Dare they refuse?¡±
The eldest prince¡¯s eyes widened in murderous intent, ¡°If they dare to refuse, I will ughter them myself even before our enemies get to us.¡±
¡°Ah!.¡±
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince let out a sigh of disappointment.
In this situation, how could they forcibly keep a few influential aristocrats who weren¡¯t loyal to the Royal Court?
They might not only not defend the Royal Court to their deaths, but they might also be potential internal threats.
They could either deliver our defense details, spread rumors to shake our military spirit, or cause unrest within the Royal Court to coordinate with the enemy¡¯s attack.
However, the Third Prince did not reprimand them. Since they were already detained, he made other arrangements.
The Third Prince calmed down, sorted out his thoughts and said:
¡°Under the current situation, the Royal Family must step forward to strengthen confidence and unite all the fairies, gathering all possible forces.
Big brother, with the Supreme King in deep sleep, you must carry out this task.
You should appear in public, summon the aristocrats, officials, officers, soldiers, and civilians, and give a speech.
You should demonstrate the royal family¡¯s resolution to fight to the end and share the fate of the Royal Court.
As for those great dukes, have them armed immediately, bring them to the royal pce, and I¡¯ll personally supervise them to prevent any chance of uprising.¡±
With the Third Prince¡¯s decision in mind, the eldest prince slightly regained his calm and nodded forcefully: ¡°Okay!¡±
The Third Prince then made further arrangements.
¡°Order the garrisons of the three fortresses to resist to the end, there can be no retreat.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Order the guards brought by the great dukes to support the front line fully.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
¡°Order the local stationed armies, aristocracy, and civilians to self-organize and attack the Different World ¡®demons¡¯.¡±
¡°No problem.¡±
The Third Prince issued three orders in session, and the eldest prince agreed three times in a row.
Afterward, the Third Prince fell silent for a while, then said despondently, ¡°As for other matters, big brother, you should handle them ording to the situation.¡±
Hearing this, the eldest prince became concerned and asked, ¡°What about you?¡±
The Third Prince¡¯s face showed aplicated expression, he said gloomily, ¡°I n to do something that I may or may not regret in the future.¡±
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince sank into silence.
He knew about the existence of the altar and the demon.
As soon as the Third Prince mentioned this, the eldest prince immediately understood.
He wanted to stop it, believing that cooperating with a real demon would bring more harm than good. However, the situation was so severe that we might face the extermination of our race in an instant.
The eldest prince couldn¡¯t find the words to discourage this.
After a moment, the eldest prince didn¡¯t say anything and turned to leave the pce.
He nned to execute the n provided by the Third Prince.
ce the dukes under house arrest, send the guardians of the dukes to support the front line, mobilize local garrisons, nobles, and civilians to harass the Different World ¡°demons¡±¡
Both name and instrument must be true to one¡¯s nature.
Many matters must be presided over by him, the eldest prince, the first in line to the throne after the Supreme King has fallen into a deep sleep.
If the royal family wishes to avoid doom and extinction, they must struggle to the end, not missing any opportunity however trivial.
As for the matter of the demon, let the Third Prince handle it.
He can y the role of a desperate doctor for a dying horse, hoping it would be useful.
In the secret chamber.
The Third Prince¡¯s wheelchair was parked in front of the altar. After contemting for a moment, he made up his mind.
He pulled a sharp dagger from a secretpartment in the armrest of his wheelchair.
Holding the dagger in his right hand, he shed his left palm.
Green blood dripped onto the altar and flowed along the intricate carvings, forming a mysterious pattern.
The Third Prince, having lost a lot of blood, had a dimmer look in his eyes.
After a while, the blood gradually got absorbed by the carvings on the altar, causing strange fluctuations.
These fluctuations were directed towards the barrier of the Fairy World.
The Third Prince looked up, following the direction of the fluctuations radiating out, staring into the empty sky.
Inside the Fairy King¡¯s Forest.
The special squad¡¯s convoy was racing along. Along the way, whether they encountered the fairies¡¯ sentries, secret guards, inhabited areas, or army fortifications, they didn¡¯t bother to engage, they simply sped past them.
If there were any that wouldn¡¯t give up and chose to attack, they would be crushed directly.
It was not necessary for Boss Otis to take action, the twins Onyx and Mark were sufficient for the job.
Chapter 323: 76 Unexpected Changes_3
Chapter 323: Chapter 76 Unexpected Changes_3
While traveling at high speed, Boss Otis, who was at the end of the convoy responsible for covering the rear, suddenly looked up.
He stared intently in a particr direction in the sky.
Aboard the third off-road vehicle.
Assad, reacting a tad slower, also sensed this peculiar fluctuation.
A wave of unease roiled within both of them.
What was happening?
Why did the Fairy King¡¯s Court have the capability tomunicate across domains?
The preliminary report given by the academy didn¡¯t mention this at all.
The reconnaissance team dispatched before the Legion officially entered the Fairy World didn¡¯t detect this information either.
Why did the Fairy King¡¯s Court suddenly send amunication request towards an entity or world beyond the domain out of the blue?
Who were theymunicating with?
Could it impact this campaign?
All sorts of guesses emerged, stirring unease.
¡°Pick up the pace!¡±
Boss Otis pulled his gaze back as his voice abruptly rang out on the team¡¯s channel.
The off-road convoy¡¯s speed sharply increased again, their vehemence in rushing forward bing more conspicuous.
High up in the sky.
Within the most advanced Sky Fortress.
Sage Palo, who was stationed in themand center attending to the progress of all fronts, suddenly looked up, followed the strange fluctuation, and looked at the boundary wall of the Fairy World.
His eyes released two divine lights, piercing through the void and prating the boundary wall.
A bat-like Abyss Demon came into Sage Palo¡¯s sight.
The Demon was sealed and was sleeping, oblivious to Sage Palo¡¯s scrutiny.
Sage Palo promptly ended his observation and called back the divine lights.
¡°Hmm¡¡±
Sage Palo pursed his lips, a sense of unease inexplicably pervading his thoughts.
The old undead at the Academy weren¡¯t really aged.
How could they make such a huge error?
They had failed to detect a demon sealed within the quasi-virtual boundary wall.
Chances were that they knew from the start and merely chose not to tell him.
They asked him to develop this world using a more peaceful approach.
Sage Palo pondered over the various instances when the old undead had tricked him and their past mischief.
He instantly suspected that the old undead had set a trap for him and dwelled on this notion.
If Sage Palo really took his time conquering the Fairy World,
Or lost patience, resorted to violence as soon as he entered the Fairy World,
He would likely end up facing a fourth-order Abyss Demon that had opened an abyssal passage, along with an endless low-level demon army emerging from the passage.
Then, unable toplete the Academy¡¯s task, Sage Palo would have to sign a ¡®bondage agreement¡¯ with the Academy.
The old undead at the academy would step in to clean up the mess.
They could im a Fairy World that has been almost entirely conquered and harvest a batch of Abyss Demons to nourish several special nts.
It would be akin to killing two birds with one stone.
¡°Old Undead!¡±
Sage Palo gritted his teeth, cursed in resentment.
Lucky for him, he had always been vignt. Even without the undeniable push from Link Grande, the third campaign would have begun in a few days.
In terms of progress, there would be little dy.
He wouldn¡¯t let the crafty plot of the old undead seed.
However, knowing about the intentions of the old undead felt like spotting several flies on a piece of delicious cake ¨C utterly disgusting.
¡°You,e here.¡±
Suppressing his disgust, Wizard Palo beckoned the captain of the personal guard and began to set out his ns.
He wanted to give a surprise to the fourth-order Abyss Demon that was about to wake up and had its consciousness descending into the Fairy World along the unusual fluctuation.
To let it know that in front of a wizard, an Abyss Demon was simply a bug that could be squashed at will.
If you know what¡¯s good for you, keep sleeping, don¡¯t fucking dare to disturb my work.
Or else, I¡¯ll scatter your ashes.
And bury them in the ground as fertilizer.

Chapter 324: Chapter 77: Trading with a Demon? Are You Out of Your Mind! _1
The closer they got to the Royal Court.
The more obstacles the special team encountered.
Countless fearless fairies attacked the special team from all directions.
Even though their attacks were like throwing pebbles the size of soybeans at the giant Dragon¡¯s Uncle Giant who could catch giant turtles.
Not to mention breaking the skin, it was difficult to hurt even a single hair.
The damage caused wasn¡¯t evenparable to a skin scraping.
Twins Onyx and Mark proved themselves to be adept at dealing high damage within the special team.
No matter howrge-scale the attacking fairy squad was, they crushed them all.
A powerful Magic Tool paired with a devastatingly potent witchcraft.
Just as easily as mowing awn, they eradicated those fairies¡¯ lives remorselessly.
Most of the dead fairies didn¡¯t even know how they died.
They only felt a sh of fire, and then, their life was gone.
However, even though piles of bodies fell, not a single second was dyed, and still, not many fairies were scared off.
The fairies tumbled over one after another, fearlessly standing their ground without an ounce of hesitation.
For every fairy that fell, thousands and thousands more emerged.
As long as they still have a breath left, they would resist to the end.
They were determined to prevent the ¡°demons¡± of the Different World from destroying their beautiful Fairy World!
Link did not need to partake in the ughter, to clear the way of obstacles, his hands didn¡¯t bear the stain of blood, and he didn¡¯t personallymit killings.
Yet, he was a member of the attacking party, and he wasn¡¯t entirely innocent.
The killing and sin bore his share. He wouldn¡¯t escape it.
Observing the familiar scenes before him, turbulent waves surged in Link¡¯s heart, his emotions violently fluctuating.
Killing isn¡¯t the same as killing.
He had to fully utilize the ¡°Mind Closure Technique¡± to block rted emotions, entering an ultra-rational state.
Only in this way, some past memories, educations, and views don¡¯t use him, berate him.
They wouldn¡¯t give birth to emotions that seemedpletely unnecessary to the wizards.
Such as guilt, such as shame.
The speed of the off-road vehicles never dropped a bit due to the self-sacrificing fairies.
They always dashed headlong without restraint.
The distance to the target was getting closer and closer.
ording to the information provided by the fairy guide party and the scout ¡°ck Cat¡± Betty, the convoy was already near the ¡°Biological Factory¡± where Fairy royal family carried out biological modifications and enhancements.
The ones obstructing had already changed from Fairy Militia to Fairy Regr Army.
The feed from the Biomimetic Hummingbird clearly showed nearly 20,000 fairies forming five solid lines of defense on the road the convoy was to traverse.
7VS20000+.
In terms of numericalparison, the seven wizards of the special team were far from fair for the 20,000+ fairy army.
In fact, the ones trembling and insisting were the 20,000+ fairy army.
The special team of seven wizards, including Link, were not nervous in the least.
Link wasn¡¯t nervous because Boss Otis and his battle-hardened, second-level skilled team of five were there.
The others were not nervous because, if they wished, they could spend a bit of time, use a bit of their Magic Tool reserves, unveil some of their hidden witchcraft specialties, and annihting the 20,000+ fairy army would no big deal.
But Boss Otis was in a hurry and didn¡¯t want to sh with the fairy army.
¡°Prepare for Flying Mode, we¡¯ll ascend at full speed and jet over the enemy line.¡±
Boss Otis issued themand to the team.
The six team members followed the order, preparing themselves.
Link followed the actions of Assad and ¡°ck Cat¡± Betty on his left and right.
Start by fastening the seat belt, trigger a thought at the same time, activate the Destiny Witchcraft ¡°Armor Orchid Battle Armor¡±, donned the Battle Armor andpleted the transformation.
The four off-road vehicles that had always been on autopilot now seemed to transform.
Crackling sound was heard as the various parts of the vehicle began to rotate, fold, and adjust.
In a matter of moment, the all-terrain vehicle transformed into a small ¡°jet¡±.
This process was as if Autobot Bumblebee had transformed into Decepticon Starscream, Chevrolet Camaro convertible had transformed into an F-22 fighter jet.
Visionary and cool.
The vehicle that had been previously hovering just a few centimeters from the ground for high-speed movement, now sted super-strong me jets,
Instantaneously changing from horizontal forward motion to directly ascending into the air,
In a matter of few seconds, they flew over the forest, rising to an altitude of over two thousand meters.
The extremely intense stimtion caused by this, the oppression and impact on the body, felt simr to Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo¡¯s first ride on a space elevator.
The instantaneous force was at least 15 Gs!
If it weren¡¯t for thepletion of a Life Essence Transition, and the Armor Orchid Battle Armor offsetting this gigantic instantaneous force, Link, who was experiencing it for the first time, would¡¯ve surely made a fool of himself.
Under numerous watchful eyes, in just a very short span of time, the special team flew out of the forest, ascended into the sky, and rose far above the fairy army¡¯s attack range.
And in the same brief period, they flew over the five defense lines and disappeared from the sight of the fairy army.
The 20,000+ fairy army witnessed all of this.
The majority of the fairies¡¯ army copsed instantly.
They hade with the determination to die, to hinder, merely to dy this arrogant Different World ¡°demon¡± team.
In the end, they not only didn¡¯t manage to even face them, but they also couldn¡¯t even have a clear sight of their movements.
Let alone fighting them.
With such terrifying ability to avoid fighting, showing such ease, thebat ability they possess is just as strong if not stronger.
With such a huge gap, how can they confront?
How can this not make one despair?
Chapter 325: 77: Trading with a Demon? Are You Out of Your Mind! _2
Chapter 325: Chapter 77: Trading with a Demon? Are You Out of Your Mind! _2
Pessimism, loss, helplessness, all sorts of negative emotions quickly spread among the 20,000+ fairies.
Many fairies felt it would be better to die than to be in the helpless situation they were in.
The sounds of howling, weeping, and cursing echoed intermittently.
It¡¯s as if the sky of the Fairy World was falling.
The darkest hour hade.
On the side of the special operations team, the flying mode onlysted less than 5 seconds.
After leaping over the fairy army¡¯s defence line, they quickly exited the high-speed mode, decreased altitude, re-entered the forest, andnded smoothly.
¡°Proceed on foot, keep a low profile, advance while scanning.¡±
Boss Otis was the first to jump off the transformed off-road vehicle and givemands.
The team members immediately executed, quickly forming a spindle-shaped search formation.
Four off-road vehicles were miniaturized and flew into Otis¡¯ hand, and they were each put into his pocket.
Having a Storage Magic Tool is just so cool.
Seeing Link¡¯s slight confusion, Assad exined: ¡°The flying mode consumes too much energy, it can¡¯t support for a long time, so it¡¯s only used at crucial moments.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Link nodded.
He said to himself, why not bring out the vehicles and switch to flying mode from the beginning.
Would have reached the ¡°Biological Factory¡± by now.
Why did they have to fight their way there?
Beating around the bush, wasting time.
Turns out it wasn¡¯t sustainable.
Indeed, no matter what you do, sustainability is the most important.
Wait, what?
Why not prepare a few more vehicles and rotate using them?
Please note that under the suppression of the world¡¯s intent in the Fairy World, there aren¡¯t many vehicle-type Magic Tools that can still be used normally deep behind enemy lines.
They all have to be specially processed in advance to ensure they don¡¯t malfunction.
The fact that the special operations team is equipped with four such vehicles is a very ¡°rich and bold¡± demonstration.
The reason why four Sky Fortresses can be activated is due to the protection of the Wizard World¡¯s world intent.
Initially, it was by using special Rune Array covering the forward base and surrounding area under the portal,ter it was through Sage Palo covering the surrounding area.
The two were chatting, but it did not hinder them from maintaining formation and quickly advancing.
In no time at all, the Special Forces team sessfully arrived at the outskirts of the Fairy royal family¡¯s ¡°Biological Factory.¡±
After the Third Prince¡¯s orders were issued, the ¡°Biological Factory¡± began to evacuate and relocate.
They were already busy non-stop, but then they received a report that the front line defence had failed to stop the Different World demon squadron and had lost track of it, warning the Biological Factory to be on guard.
The previously orderly evacuation and transfer work suddenly became a bit frantic.
The scene was messy, with no order to speak of.
The special operations team entered stealth mode under the cover of a Second-Ring Crystal Ball emitting a faint light, took advantage of the chaos to bypass the few perimeters of the ¡°Biological Factory¡±, and sessfully infiltrated it.
During this time, many fairies passed right by the special operations team members.
Even if they were only a finger¡¯s width apart, almost colliding, nothing unusual was detected.
After sessfully infiltrating the ¡°Biological Factory¡±, Boss Otis issued thetestmand on the team channel:
¡°Mission change, original research mission hereby terminated, priority given to factory demolition.¡±
Upon hearing this, Link was somewhat taken aback.
Are they just going to change as they please?
Straight away, he realized that something must have happened that he didn¡¯t understand.
This was what led to the mission change.
He turned his gaze to Assad by his side and saw a calm face behind the transparent faceguard.
This reassured Link¡¯s spections.
¡°What happened?¡±
Link followed the team¡¯s movements, asked out of curiosity, wanting to know more, ¡°Did something happen that I am not aware of?¡±
Assad, on the other hand, took out some disposable Magic Tools from his pocket that possessed great explosive power but were not as powerful as the great weapons and handed them to Link while answering nonchntly: ¡°Now is not the time to say it, you¡¯ll understand after a while.¡±
With these words, Assad gestured to Link to focus on setting up the ¡°timed bomb.¡±
Link then shut up.
After receiving the ¡°bomb¡±, he quickly observed theyout and structure of the ¡°Biological Factory¡±, calcting how to install the device to blow up the ¡°Biological Factory¡± more efficiently.
While observing, Link noticed something wrong.
Any ce suitable for installing a ¡°bomb¡± had some objects simr to wasp nests tightly adhered.
Extreme caution Link took off a ¡°wasp nest¡±, study quickly, he found that this was also a ¡°bomb¡±.
It seems that after the Fairy royal family¡¯s upper echelons discovered their squad¡¯s whereabouts, they prepared to blow up the ¡°Biological Factory¡±.
Perhaps, they are also harboring ideas of bombing them to death.
The Fairy version of the ¡°bomb¡± just isn¡¯t very powerful.
Can¡¯t even match Rune Objects¡¯ Self-Destructing Fire Thunder.
Not to mention the disposable Magic Tools that Link received from Assad.
Not only Link noticed this.
The other team members also noticed.
Therefore, the work of installing the ¡°bomb¡± speed up dramatically.
They just needed to find where the ¡°wasp nests¡± were stored, install a ¡°bomb¡±, and there was no need to waste energy calcting structural mechanics.
During the instation process, they will casually destroy the ¡°wasp nests¡±.
Even if the ¡°wasp nests¡± are not powerful enough, they can still explode.
The cumtive power can still inflict considerable damage.
How could the special operations team allow the ¡°wasp nests¡± to continue to exist normally, always at risk of being detonated by the fairies?
Chapter 326: 77: Trading with a Demon? Are You Out of Your Mind! _3
Chapter 326: Chapter 77: Trading with a Demon? Are You Out of Your Mind! _3
Soon, a ¡°timed bomb¡± capable ofpletely destroying the ¡°Biological Factory¡± was fully installed.
Estimating the time, Boss Otis made a new decision: ¡°Assad and Link will stay to carry out the original research task, while the rest of you will follow me, targeting the Fairy King¡¯s Sleeping Ground¡±.
This decision perfectly fits the style and temperament of the special squad.
n? What n?
The n is to adapt to changes on the fly!
Boss Otis¡¯mand to split the squad once again exceeded Link¡¯s expectations.
However, it also aligned with Link¡¯s intentions.
He really did not want tomit mass killings, as it would cause him difort.
Staying to carry out the original research task seemed ideal.
Thus, the special squad split into two teams, five set out and two stayed behind.
Assad walked alongside Link amidst the many bustling fairies.
They leisurely explored the inner part of the ¡°Biological Factory¡±, searching for either the data room or the coreboratory.
They found neither the data room nor the coreboratory.
They only found several unremoved assembly lines used for the production of potions.
Almost all the finished potions produced on these assembly lines were moved out after hasty evacuation and relocation.
Only a few raw materials that hadn¡¯t been moved and several green finished potion products in the corners were left scattered.
Link didn¡¯t care much for the finished products. What he valued were the raw materials.
¡°I¡¯ll stand guard. You make haste.¡±
Assad nced at the somewhat excited Link, raised an eyebrow, left this sentence, then turned to guard.
Link put down the backpack he was carrying, took out a set of miniaturized experimental equipment, and started it up.
He first sorted the raw materials, taking samples of each for backup, and then carried out detailed inspections.
While waiting for the inspection results, Link didn¡¯t waste any time.
He inspected the entire production line from start to finish, inferring the procedures involved.
Based on the types of raw materials, the inferred procedures, and the remaining raw material residues on the production line, he continued his calctions.
With the data of fairies at different stages of mutation in his mind as a reference, Link quickly restored a material ratio.
He started the production line, added raw materials ording to the restored material ratio, initiated the procedures in order, and tried to synthesize a potion.
In no time, he obtained several all-green potions.
Comparing them with the remaining finished potions, they were identical in every aspect.
This proved that the material ratio Link had restored was the original ratio used in the manufacturing process of the fairy ¡°Biological Factory¡±.
By then, the results of the raw material characteristic inspections had alsoe in.
Upon detailed examination, Link noticed that if the characteristics detected were urate, then the material ratio used in the production operation of the ¡°Biological Factory¡± had a w that could bepletely avoided.
It was this w that amplified the demand for vitality in the biochemical transformation and enhancement method for enhancing fairy talents, leading to mass mutation in the fairies undergoing the enhancement.
From various traces, Link intuitively believed that the w in the material ratio was an intentional trap.
This trap wasn¡¯t sophisticated at all. The Fairy King, who was supposedly a Level 4 sage, did not notice it.
He even dared to use it on himself.
This shocked Link.
No wonder the Fairy King was almost killed by a single blow from Sage Palo.
Ignorance is bliss!
He didn¡¯t continue to ponder whether the Fairy King was wise or foolish.
Instead, Link started thinking about which ¡°person¡± had intentionally set this w.
Due tock of intelligence and iplete information, the details were foggy from Link¡¯s perspective.
However, for others, there might be no secret.
Link looked at Assad, who was standing by, shared his findings, and then asked, ¡°Does the information you have about the Fairy World include such a ¡®person¡¯?¡±
After listening to what Link had to say, Assad giggled and then burst into loudughter.
One of his questions was finally answered by Link¡¯s recent discovery.
No wonder there was no precedent for biochemical modification throughout the history of the Fairy World.
But under this Fairy King, a rtively systematic method emerged.
So, it wasn¡¯t that the reconnaissance effort in the early stage of the legion mission had missed a crucial piece of information, or the Fairy King had secretly mastered some level of biochemical knowledge on his own.
Instead, the Fairy King had conducted some type of transaction with the demon that had been sealed within the barrier, and obtained the method of biochemical enhancement from the demon.
Making a deal with a demon¡
¡°Hehehe¡¡±
As Assad thought about this possibility, hisughter became even more exaggerated.
Only fools would make a deal with a demon.
Incurable fools.
None of those who have made a deal with a demon in the Heavenly World ever faired well.
Except for witches.
Chapter 327: 78: The Fisherman Never Leaves Empty-Handed, Until He Himself is Hooked_1
Chapter 327: Chapter 78: The Fisherman Never Leaves Empty-Handed, Until He Himself is Hooked_1
¡°So it was, it was so.¡±
After Assad had finishedughing, he exined the reason for hisughter to Link.
After hearing the story, Link found out that an Abyss Demon had been sealed within the realm border of the Fairy World.
And before, someone in the Fairy King¡¯s Court had sent a call request to this demon.
Or more urately, the call request issued by the Fairy King¡¯s Court exposed the existence of this demon.
This allowed the Wizard Army, who previously had no idea of the demon¡¯s existence, to discover it.
Known, and unknown, are two different states.
They pertain to the initiative in war.
The difference between the two is enormous.
Especially when facing demons from the Abyss World, a kind that wizards are extremely familiar with and have gained many advantages over in the past.
Based on the intelligence he had obtained in the past, Assad believed that the Fairy King may have made a foolish move.
That is, he made a deal with the sealed demon, obtaining a biochemical transformation and enhancement n with a hook attached.
Since the academic line of biochemicals wasn¡¯t part of the Fairy World¡¯s civilization development process.
Therefore, the Fairy King did not even discover this obvious hook.
Not only did he trap himself, but he also trapped arge number of distorted fairies.
If the Wizard World did not interfere, the Fairy World would eventually be lured away by the Abyss World.
¡°Abyss Demon?¡±
Link murmured to himself, deep in thought.
What he was thinking about was not how to deal with this demon.
This was a matter for Sage Palo and the Front Line Command Post, not something Link needed to concern himself with.
Moreover, in the history of the Wizard World, there have been too many precedents for dealing with Abyss Demons.
Many stable and effective methods have already been established.
Wizards have a proven track record of defeating demons.
This is a widely epted ¡°rule¡± in all heavens and realms!
Any effective strategy can be slightly modified ording to the actual situation and it should be easy to defeat the demon.
What Link was thinking about was the biochemical transformation and enhancement n for the fairies, which was almost certainly devised by the demon.
Even if a w was deliberately left in the material ratio, it still shows an ingenious approach, aprehensive and profound understanding of the fairy¡¯s body structure, innate special powers, and a glimpse of a mature knowledge system.
These things provide certain insights for Link.
Not only in terms of biochemical transformation.
But also rted to species diversity, species evolution, ecological cycles, and most importantly, the cultivation of ¡°seeds¡±.
Furthermore, Link intuitively understood one principle.
In all heavens and realms, knowledge is the primarybat power.
As Level 4 beings, Sage Palo was able to grievously wound the Fairy King with one strike, while the Abyss Demon was able to deceive the Fairy King.
This is rted to the capacity of the Fairy World being only Level 5, but not entirely so.
The Fairy King, for the most part, suffered for hisck of education.
Like two 180 cm tall 200-pound men, one can either be bby with fat or strong with muscle.
Lack of education is truly frightening.
At this moment, Assad suddenly tilted his head, his expression serious, as if listening to something.
Then, he said to Link, ¡°Pack up, we are leaving immediately. Boss Otis has found something new.¡±
While they were in the ¡°biochemical factory¡±, where their Magic Tools formunication failed, yet they were still able to receive messages.
Only a True Spirit Wizard like Assad could do this.
The principle is very simr to quantummunication based on quantum superposition and quantum entanglement.
It is very secure, able to prevent eavesdropping, resist interference, and can achieve long-distancemunication in special environments.
Like now, deep behind enemy lines, at a great distance.
¡°Yes,¡± replied Link.
Link refocused his scattered thoughts and efficiently began to pack up the samples and equipment.
After some thought, Link decided to take both thepleted potions scattered around and the potions he had synthesized himself.
They mighte in handyter.
The two of them moved quickly and stealthily exited the ¡°biochemical factory¡±.
The invisibility effects, including but not limited to optics, acoustics, and spiritual power, held up very well.
They moved in and out, passing by many fairies, but not a single fairy noticed them.
After leaving the ¡°biochemical factory¡±, Assad chose his direction and sprinted off without a word.
Link flexed his legs, sprinted like the wind, and hurried to catch up.
When they were at a safe distance, Assad stopped, closed his eyes and focused for a moment, then remotely detonated the numerous ¡°timed bombs¡± he had set up.
This too was a characteristic of a True Spirit Wizard, an advanced application of spiritual power or mind power inbat.
Soon after, a deafening explosion came from behind them.
A mushroom cloud rose where the ¡°biochemical factory¡± had been.
The not-so-small ¡°biochemical factory¡± waspletely destroyed in an instant, copsing into ruins.
Fairies, who had not had time to evacuate and transfer, were either blown to pieces or buried under the ruins, not understanding how they had died until theirst moment.
The fairies who were lucky enough to be outside the st area, after a short period of shock and disbelief, went into aplete frenzy.
Many fairies, disregarding the potential second explosion and the danger to their lives, rushed directly into the sky full of smoke and dust in an attempt to rescue survivors.
Those who had innate special powers that could help with the digging used them.
Those whose special powers could not help, used tools to dig.
Those who couldn¡¯t use their special powers and didn¡¯t have any handy tools at the moment, just started digging with their hands.
Cries of despair echoed throughout the field, and curses shook the heavens.
Sorrow, anger, pain, and rage spread.
A cloud of despair hung over the fairies¡¯ heads.
Chapter 328: 78: The Fisherman Never Leaves Empty-Handed, Until He Himself is Hooked_2
Chapter 328: Chapter 78: The Fisherman Never Leaves Empty-Handed, Until He Himself is Hooked_2
Link felt a sour taste in his heart. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his emotions and continued his journey attentively.
The secret chamber of the royal pce in the Fairy King¡¯s Court.
The Third Prince received a series of defeat reports, including:
Three fortresses were fiercely attacked, the situation vulnerable, and could be broken down at any moment;
The ¡°Demon¡± team from the Different World had disappeared, even the ¡°Town Device¡± could not detect them;
The ¡°Biological Factory¡± was bombed into ruins, causing heavy losses;
The sleeping sanctuary of the Fairy King was suspected to be watched by unidentified enemies.
After suffering for so long, finally some good news arrived.
The demon, who was always asleep, was awakened by the call request from the altar.
The consciousness of the demon followed an unusual fluctuation, descended to the Fairy World, into this secret chamber.
His voice was heard, but no form was seen.
¡°What do you want from me? Are you sure you want to cooperate with me?¡±
The demon¡¯s voice was loud and filled with majesty, making people unconsciously trust him.
It seemed that he was a good-natured and trustworthy demon.
The Third Prince opened his mouth, expressing his willingness to help the demon escape from the dimensional barriers in exchange for his promise to deal with the Different World ¡°demon¡±.
¡°Hehehe¡.¡±
The demonughed heartily, very generously promising, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as I escape from the dimensional barriers, all the enemies are not a problem for me. The invaders of your world are nothingpared to the Abyss Demon. They are not worth mentioning, just like ants, can be crushed easily.¡±
Hearing this, the Third Prince sighed in relief.
It¡¯s good that this demon is so confident.
Even if he is bragging, he must have the capability to do so.
The demon was so confident, he would not only be able to banish the Different World ¡°demons¡± from the Fairy World, but they could at least hold the current situation from worsening.
In such case, as long as they can deal with Different World ¡°demons¡±, releasing the true demon wouldn¡¯t matter.
The Third Prince convinced himself not to trust the demon.
He decided not to hesitate anymore and was going to use the will of the Fairy World on behalf of the Fairy royal family, to release the Abyss Demon.
However, before doing so, the Third Prince wanted some reassurance.
For example, allowing the demon to take a strong oath with his True Spirit as a guide.
Who knows, before the Third Prince spoke, a slightly angry voice entered the secret chamber along with the unusual vibration.
¡°Ants? Crush easily? Since when did the Abyss Demon dare to despise the Wizard?¡±
The secret chamber fell silent immediately.
The Third Prince was surprised at this somewhat familiar voice. How could it invade the secret chamber, and why didn¡¯t the demon notice it?
The demon was shocked by the suddenly heard word, ¡°Wizard¡±.
Since he woke up, he hadn¡¯t had a good observation of the Fairy World yet.
A momentter, the voice of the demon sounded again.
This time his voice was still loud, butcked authority, filled with panic and fear:
¡°No, no, stop!
Listen to my exnation, I didn¡¯t know you were interested in this world.
Otherwise, how dare I talk nonsense!
We can talk nicely, there is no need to start fighting.
Let¡¯s be respectful.¡±
The Third Prince was astounded upon hearing this.
What on earth is going on?
Why is the demon who always seemed arrogant in front of their father begging so humbly now?
What has happened?
Who is the other party?
¡°Shut up!¡±
An impatient voice followed the unusual vibration into the secret chamber.
The face of the Third Prince turned stiff immediately.
He had heard this voice, he had heard this word.
It was when the 100,000 main forces of the fairies were retreating under the attack of less than a thousand Different World ¡°demons¡±, and the Fairy King had to intervene.
The opponent had uttered these words impatiently and waved his hand casually as if he was shooing a fly.
Then, a huge Golden Palm obscured the sky, hovering over the heads of all the fairies, descending slowly from the sky and lightly stroking the Fairy King.
For some reason, the trapped Fairy King couldn¡¯t break free and had to resist the hand.
The limbs of the 100,000 main forces of fairies were tightly bound, unable to move, but their heads lifted upwards at the same moment.
Then they witnessed the Supreme King of the fairies unable to resist and getting hit.
The half of the body that responded to the giant hand almost broke, and the shoulder joint of the arm broke, only a bit of skin was attached to the shoulder.
The Fairy King almost lost his life right there, and immediately fled without thinking about anything else.
Taking advantage of the time when the world¡¯s will of the Fairy World was entangled by Sage Palo, who suddenly disrupted the situation, he ran away madly.
Left the 100,000 main forces and 6,000 Royal Guards behind.
It was only after his own guards had fiercely cut down one group after another of disintegrated soldiers on the road that the Third Prince managed to escape back to the Royal Court.
The Third Prince could not forget this memory.
After he returned, he often had nightmares about this situation, waking up drenched in fear and cold sweat.
Now, the nightmare entered reality.
¡°It¡¯s over!¡±
The Third Prince slumped back, sitting stunned in his wheelchair, without any energy or spirit, utterly despaired.
Even the true demon, on whom they pinned theirst hope, was so submissive and full of fear upon seeing the fake ¡°demon¡±; what could the Fairy royal family use to stop the enemy?
What happened to the Fairy World?
Why did they provoke such a powerful enemy?
At the dimensional barrier of the Fairy World.
The fourth-order Abyss Demon, looking at the phantom of the Rune Array appearing inside the dimensional barrier, and the avatar of the Rune Array owner, died in pain.
He was sleeping well, but when he woke up, he was targeted by the evil wizard.
Chapter 329: 78: The Fisherman Never Leaves Empty-Handed, Until He Himself is Hooked_3
Chapter 329: Chapter 78: The Fisherman Never Leaves Empty-Handed, Until He Himself is Hooked_3
The problem was that it hadn¡¯t even noticed, so engrossed in boasting and conniving to trick the dim-witted fairies into releasing it, that it hadn¡¯t bothered to observe the state of affairs in the Fairy World first.
Indifference and carelessness are sure to kill a demon, huh.
The Abyss Demon, with its incredibly abstract appearance, showed a sheepish expression and tried to ingratiate itself:
¡°Wizard Sire, you¡¯re magnanimous. Please, let me off just this once.
I¡¯ve had it rough, being sealed here, unable to get out for hundreds of years. Could you give me a break?
Let¡¯s talk it out.
Oh, right, I can be your guard, just as long as you kind Sire will stop.
Everything is negotiable.
It¡¯s negotiable, Wizard Sire.¡±
¡°Heh¡¡±
Sage Palo chuckled coldly,pletely ignoring this shameless Abyss Demon¡¯s delusional pleas.
In all the heavens and realms, there are countless Extraordinary Creatures willing to guard for a wizard.
He would never choose an Abyss Demon covered in stubborn thorns.
But since this Abyss Demon seemed linked to himself by fate, he couldn¡¯t just kill it off casually.
He needed to thoroughly exploit it, squeeze out everyst drop of value.
Sage Palo¡¯s mind-body incarnation began to chant a lengthy but necessary spell, leveraging the Rune Arrayid by 200 level-one wizards in his Personal Guard Army, and invoking the favor of the Wizard World¡¯s Will.
He then used the tiny sliver of the World¡¯s Will he resonated with as a fulcrum, leveraging even more of the World¡¯s Will to draw more attention.
Surely enough, Sage Palo¡¯s chanting received a response.
The immense, boundless World¡¯s Will of the Wizard World cast a nce in this direction.
The Abyss Demon trembled out of fright, grumbling inwardly, cursing incessantly.
This was what he damn well hated about wizards.
Fighting was just a fight, whether it was a duel or a group brawl, he could handle it.
As a Tier 4 Lifeform, who would he be afraid of?
At most, he simply would run if he was losing, die if he couldn¡¯t escape.
If his strength couldn¡¯t match up, there was nothing else to discuss.
Total submission, both in words and in heart.
But no, wizards just had to call upon the arrival of the World¡¯s Will.
What, just because the World¡¯s Will of the Wizard World had more wisdom, incorporating the souls of four willing martyred Saints, it could do as it pleased, right?
Just purely bully us because the Abyss World¡¯s Will was so dumb it even messed with its own demons?
You truly have no decency in war!
Such goddamn bad luck!
The Abyss Demon¡¯s heart wept sorrowfully.
A radiant golden rope appeared out of thin air, easily prating the boundary that imprisoned the Abyss Demon, a boundary it had tried countless times to escape but failed, looping around the demon¡¯s neck and securing a knot.
One end fell into the hands of Sage Palo¡¯s mind-body incarnation.
This scene was like a master walking his dog.
After doing its work, the Wizard World¡¯s Will retreated quickly.
Once Sage Palo¡¯s mind-body incarnation had respectfully seen off the World¡¯s Will of the Wizard World, it also quickly disappeared.
Only a phantom Rune Array and a Abyss Demon remained in the boundary, a golden rope wound around its neck, looking more like a dog than a bat.
In the Sky Fortress.
Wizard Palo withdrew his mind-body incarnation, opened his eyes, and signaled for the Personal Guard Army¡¯s Captain to stand down.
He ordered the Personal Guard Army to hold on a bit longer, maintain the Demon Binding Rune Array for a while longer, and wear down the Abyss Demon.
Then, with a great mood, he returned to the mainmand hall.
With a Level 4 Abyss Demon as bait, countless lower-tiered demons would be drawn to them.
The Fairy World was still rtively weak.
Once it¡¯s fully conquered and the Fairy World¡¯s Will shaped up to the Wizard World¡¯s Will, they could use the swarm of attracted low-ranked demons as nourishing sacrificial items.
They could generously nourish the Fairy World.
Let the Will of the Fairy World experience the love from the Wizard World.
From then on, it would wholeheartedly follow the Wizard World without any dissension.
No more two-facedness.
Chapter 330: 79: Play it Safe, Retreat First!_1
Chapter 330: Chapter 79: y it Safe, Retreat First!_1
The third campaign progressed smoothly.
Whether it was the frontal assault of the second corps, or the nking of the first and third corps, all were about to seize the fortress they attacked.
The special forces that prated into the enemy¡¯s rear had also destroyed the ¡°Biological Factory¡±.
These were not ¡°gues¡±, and without transmission capabilities between fairies, the biological modifications and enhancements could not continue without the ¡°Biological Factory¡±.
The scale of fairy mutations would not endlessly expand.
After the war, more viable forces could be preserved.
The benefits obtained, such as poption resources, would be even greater.
In addition, the special forces had discovered the Fairy King¡¯s Sleeping Ground and a new discovery had been made.
Sage Palo was quite satisfied with the holographic projection of the war situation.
As long as they destroy the resistance forces of the Fairy Royal family, get rid of the fairies with strong will to resist, and then ughter the vulnerable Fairy King.
They could dere a significant victory in the first stage of this Fairy World invasion war: annihtion.
In fact, it was never difficult for Sage Palo to conquer the Fairy World.
The difficulty was in governing afterwards.
There were too many examples to prove that high-pressured envement in person was not as effective as supporting proxies.
Based on Sage Palo¡¯s idea of not wanting to get stuck in the mire of a security war, from the very beginning he did not choose to go on a tough conquest directly, but used a conciliatory strategy.
Sending out special envoys at the beginning was a clever move.
If the Fairy King could withstand the World¡¯s will of the Fairy World and be willing to be a vassal, surrender to the Wizard World.
Sage Palo could also save some effort and time and concentrate on helping the Wizard World¡¯s will to transform the shape of the Fairy World¡¯s will, thuspleting this invasion mission.
If the Fairy King was unwilling or unable to surrender and chose to kill the special envoy, provoking the war, it would still y into Sage Palo¡¯s calctions.
There were differences in benefits between the Fairy King, the Fairy King¡¯s room, the Fairy royal family, the other Fairy ns, and the overal Fairy World.
Using these differences, by sending out several special envoys, they could always find the Dove Faction who did not want to participate in the war, and also the informants who were willing to be guides for greater benefits.
A proxy is to find these good-tempered Dove Faction and spineless informants.
Especially those nimble and spineless informants, they are handy to use.
Many times, there was no need to specifically instruct, the informants could handle things beautifully on their own initiative.
It saved worry and time.
With less strength and not united in will, the Fairy King¡¯s chances of winning this asymmetrical war were almost zero.
The reason why Sage Palo did not win the warpletely at one stroke, with several campaigns, was not only to hone the legion, but also to eliminate as many fairies with a strong will to resist as possible.
In this way, after the war, the Wizard World¡¯s policy of restraint could be implemented more smoothly.
History is always written by the victors.
When two civilizations collide, the history of the defeated civilization is erased and the victors write a history that glorifies themselves and denigrates the conquered.
The Wizard World did not erase the civilization history of the Fairy World, they just needed to ¡°correct¡± a little bit.
With public opinion under control, massive and long-term brainwashing would suffice.
The Dove Faction and informants would use ¡°facts¡± to propagate to the ordinary fairies the sins of the Fairy King,
Propagate that the war was provoked by the Fairy King for his own selfishness, disregarding the interests of millions of fairies,
Propagate that the Wizard World¡¯s counterattack was an act of helplessness,
Propagate that the death of the Fairy King is not to be regretted, the demise of the royal family is deserved, and the extinction of the royal n is in the interest of all fairy ns,
Propagate that the Wizard World¡¯s overthrow of the Fairy King¡¯s n is mainly due to the royal family¡¯s cruel exploitation of the Fairy World, which has brought freedom and democracy to the Fairy World¡
Propagate that it is never a bad thing for the Fairy World to be a vassal of the Wizard World, but the starting point of a bright future.
This is the second stage of Sage Palo¡¯s invasion of the Fairy World, the ideological war.
After the two wars, it will enter the phase of strengthening the restraint and resource development.
At that time, it will only be necessary to leave enough military forces to maintain suppression, the Army Corps can be sent back to base for consolidation and training.
Later will be the beginning of Sage Palo¡¯s formal engagement with Heavens.
This invasion of the Fairy World is just a practice arranged by the academy to help Sage Palo adapt to the transition from a main force leader to an armymander.
Sage Palo made the transition quickly and urately.
After several actions, the army corps has already taken the shape of Sage Palo.
On the other side, within the Fairy King¡¯s Forest.
While Sage Palo looked at the holographic projection of the battlefield, Link and Assad had already raced to the outskirts of the Fairy King¡¯s Sleeping Ground and rendezvoused with Boss Otis.
What¡¯s the situation?
Just as he reached the high point where Boss Otis and his men were, he saw the scene taking ce not far below. Link couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled.
There were two groups of fairies fighting amongst themselves, attacking each other relentlessly.
The battle was extremely intense.
Both sides were not holding back and fought with real force. There were heavy casualties, corpsesy everywhere, and blood flowed across the ground.
Link looked closely and found that the majority were regr fairies, while the minority who looked uglier were lightly mutated fairies.
The lightly mutated fairies were obviously stronger, and they were dominating the regr fairies in battle.
If it continued like this, the lightly mutated fairies would definitely be victorious.
Chapter 331: 79: Play it Safe, Retreat First!_2
Chapter 331: Chapter 79: y it Safe, Retreat First!_2
¡°Boss, what¡¯s going on here?¡±
Assad, without Link¡¯s reservations, directly inquired on the team channel.
Knowing that Assad was asking on behalf of Link, Boss Otis was not annoyed, instead, he exined:
¡°When we arrived, they were already in-fighting.
We captured two informers and used the Bewitching Heart Technique on them to learn the truth.
The fairies who seeded in surviving the highly risky biochemical transformation and enhancement called themselves the ¡®New Generation¡¯. For some reason, they gradually changed their nature and started to look down upon regr fairies.
The quarrel between the two groups of fairies escted and eventually led to mutual killings.
The second prince of the fairy royal family failed to suppress the mutiny, instead, he was severely injured by a fairy noble.
The situation got out of control and developed into the current state.¡±
Link knew that Assad had asked for him and gratefully looked at Assad as a token of his gratitude.
¡°Humph!¡±
Lokan suddenly spoke out, sounding quite displeased.
The two informers were his captives.
After Boss Otis used the Bewitching Heart Technique, the interrogation was conducted by Lokan.
In short, this information was hard-earned by Lokan, and yet Link got to know it for free.
This made Lokan feel somewhat annoyed.
Very annoyed.
Boss Otis ignored Wizard Lokan¡¯s dissatisfaction. He gestured at Link toward the two fairies lying on the ground, one regr and one enhanced, and said: ¡°Link, study them and see if you can find out the cause of the changes in the enhanced fairies.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Link readily epted the task.
He first used the wood system witchcraft skills to build a simple dissection table and ced the enhanced fairy on it.
Then he took off his backpack, took out dissection tools and biochemical testing equipment, and started aprehensive check on the enhanced fairy.
The wizards present all had experience of dissections;
They weren¡¯t interested in the slightly bloody and cruel dissection process.
They were just slightly curious about the test results.
The reason they waited for Link toe over to start the examination was not because they had forgotten the relevant knowledge and techniques, but each had their own specialty.
The examination results they made might not be as urate as those of Link.
Link worked efficiently, and in less than 20 minutes, he finished inspecting and examining the enhanced fairy and found two highly probable reasons.
After careful consideration, Link reported:
¡°Captain, the enhancement of these fairies is iplete. The overconsumption of vitality during the enhancement process has indeed affected their will.
It manifested as maintaining rationality, but emotions have changed, amplifying some dark aspects, such as bing more indifferent, arrogant, or selfish.
In addition, I noticed a special aura fluctuation nearby, which has a strong influence on the enhanced fairies, as if provoking the killing intent of the enhanced fairies.¡±
After a brief pause, Link tentatively put forward a guess: ¡°The source of this special aura fluctuation may be the sleeping Fairy King.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Boss Otis responded and turned to ask Assad, ¡°Did you sense it? What do you think of Link¡¯s deduction? Is it valid?¡±
After carefully sensing it, Assad nodded and said, ¡°I agree with Link¡¯s deduction. In addition, I think this may be a kind of ritual. Abyss demons often use ughter to recover from injuries. The Fairy King has traded with the abyss demons and might have this ability.¡±
¡°Report this situation to the Command Post and ask for the next steps.¡±
Boss Otis made arrangements.
Assad immediately closed his eyes, adjusted his mind and body, and entered long-distancemunication mode to contact the front linemand post using the unique means of a True Spirit Wizard.
Soon after, Assad finished his report and received a reply.
He opened his eyes and said: ¡°The front linemand post asks if our team has the ability to eliminate the Fairy King. If possible, take beheading action; if not, interrupt the ritual first and wait for support.¡±
After careful consideration, Boss Otis decided to y it safe: ¡°Reply to the front linemand post that we will mainly interrupt the ritual and beheading as the secondary; request for support to be dispatched as a backup.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Assad responded, then closed his eyes again to contact the front linemand post at long distance.
The approval for the action came down quickly, and support was dispatched, led by another Tier 3 wizard from the intelligence department.
The special team checked their condition and equipment, confirmed there were no errors, and began the operation.
The first move was still the stealth approach that Link was very familiar with.
This tactic is highly popr in any world.
While waiting for the rendezvous, Boss Otis, along with Lokan, ¡°ck Cat¡± Betty, the twins Onyx and Mark, had captured more than two informers for questioning.
They also identified the terrain of the Fairy King¡¯s Sleeping Ground.
The special team bypassed the two groups of fairies fighting fiercely and swiftly infiltrated thebyrinthine building deep underground.
A person¡¯s nickname is not gained for nothing.
¡°ck Cat¡± Betty was called so because she had cat-like eyes, cat-like sensitivity, and cat-like intuition.
Any traps or pitfalls in the undergroundbyrinth could not escape her eyes and were detected one by one.
Either they ignored, destroyed, or circumvented them.
To the fairies of the Fairy World, the highly concealed and lethal traps in theyers of thebyrinth were virtually non-existent in front of the seven wizards of the special team.
Chapter 332: 79: Play it Safe, Retreat First!_3
Chapter 332: Chapter 79: y it Safe, Retreat First!_3
The special forces squad quickly descended from the top floor of the underground maze to the bottom one.
From the way they had traveled, Link deduced that the undergroundbyrinth was shaped like an inverted pyramid.
The bottom floor was also the narrowest one.
This floor was upied entirely by an empty hall, with no other rooms in sight.
The ceiling, walls, and floors of the hall were all engraved with bizarre patterns.
Thin strands of greenish blood, previously absorbed, transformed, and refined from the levels above the inverted pyramid maze, turned into strange vitalities. It infused itself within these bizarre patterns, converging towards a stone tform located in the hall¡¯s center.
On the stone tform,y the unconscious Fairy King, with a severed arm and half of its upper body swollen.
Indeed, Assad¡¯s spection was correct.
The Fairy King was really attempting to recover its wounds by using dark rituals it obtained from the Abyss Demon.
However, it seemed that something went wrong with the ritual. Instead of healing the Fairy King¡¯s wounds, it was transforming his life form.
Upon first nce at the Fairy King, Link intuitively felt that the Fairy King¡¯s current condition was strikingly simr to that of the Insect God.
It was teetering between life and death, seemingly alive yet dead, and seemingly dead yet alive.
The physical body and the soul were in different states.
After all, a Level 4 Extraordinary Life has undergone a Life Essence Transition for the second time.
Even when severely injured and on the verge of death, the Fairy King was still alert to imminent danger.
At the moment when the special forces set foot in the hall, the previously sleeping Fairy King abruptly opened his eyes.
The Fairy King first nced at the seven members of the special forces, then quickly locked his gaze onto Boss Otis, who he perceived as the most threatening, while also subtly guarding against the Lokan Wizard, whom he could not fully see through.
A hazy bloody light shot out from the Fairy King¡¯s eyes, and he also exuded the oppressive aura characteristic of a Level 4 power.
Boss Otis didn¡¯t flinch, looking directly into the Fairy King¡¯s eyes and withstanding the oppressive aura, ensuring that the team members behind him were not affected. He gave orders consecutively:
¡°Betty to scout the surroundings and monitor for abnormalities.¡±
¡°Asaad and Link, guard the entrance to cut off the fairy¡¯s reinforcements, ready to assist the battlefield depending on the situation.¡±
¡°Onyx, Mark, aim your firepower at these patterns and disrupt the ritual.¡±
¡°Lokan and I will wait for the right moment to attack. Our main target is to destroy the stone tform. Attacking the Fairy King is secondary.¡±
Everyone immediately obeyed.
¡°ck Cat¡± Betty, Asaad, and Link quickly retreated a few steps, leaving the hall.
One of them controlled a horde of Biomimetic Hummingbirds, monitoring the entire inverted pyramid undergroundbyrinth.
Two of them stood guard at the entrance of the hall, attentive to the scout images to fend off reinforcements, while prepared to support thebat situation in the hall at any time.
Link had actually noticed an anomaly with the Fairy King.
The color of the Fairy King¡¯s eyes had changed from the Fairy race¡¯s turquoise to a deep blue.
The pupils had evenpletely morphed into a whirlpool shape.
There must have been a reason for this anomaly.
However, the current situation wasn¡¯t appropriate for extensive research or rashly bringing it up, which could distract the main four teammates.
Link could only take note of it in private and ponder.
The twin brothers Onyx and Mark made the first move.
Their methods were brutal and their target was clear.
Both brothers chose the Exploding Fireball, a powerful First Ring Fire System Technique, as their Destiny Witchcraft.
They initiated the attack with their Destiny Witchcraft.
In a blink, they unleashed a dozen or so orange fireballs the size of human heads, aiming at the ceiling, the surrounding walls, and the floor, trying to destroy those bizarre patterns.
Boss Otis and Lokan were ready to intervene at any moment, disrupting the Fairy King¡¯s disruption.
However, apart from watching, the Fairy King remained motionless.
Explosions reverberated incessantly.
Waves of fire billowed, sparks flew, and the hall trembled violently.
Huge chunks of bricks and stones from the ceiling and the surrounding walls shattered and fell. The floor was sted intorge, deep craters.
The bizarre patterns in the hall were almost immediatelypletely destroyed.
The greenish blood had almostpletely evaporated.
The only thing remaining was the stone tform on which the Fairy Kingy, which was shielded by an invisible and immaterial barrier, unaffected by the explosions.
¡°Something¡¯s wrong!¡±
At that moment, a hint of red light shed in Asaad¡¯s eyes. He cried out in rm, ¡°This is an illusion, not a real ce! It may be a trap!¡±
Being a True Spirit Wizard, Asaad was more sensitive in the field of soul perception than the Tier 3 Wizard, Boss Otis.
It wasn¡¯t until the Exploding Fireballs caused damage to the illusion that he became aware.
However, everyone else, Boss Otis inclusive, and even Link, whose perception has been enhancing due to his cultivation, hadn¡¯t detected any anomalies.
Of course, they chose to believe Asaad!
¡°Retreat!¡±
Boss Otis decisively ordered.
With a dubious trap and unclear situation, recklessness was not an option.
The first thing to do was to retreat to a safe ce, wait for reinforcements, and then discuss further steps.
The ritual had already been disrupted almostpletely anyway.
Worst case scenario, they would try to deal with it from the outside, driving away the two groups of fairies.
The special forces squad rapidly left the bottom floor, retreating to the upper levels of the inverted pyramid, intending to swiftly exit the undergroundbyrinth.
Surprisingly, they encountered no resistance during the retreat.
Not only did the already awakened Fairy King not interfere, but the two groups of fairies who should have sensed themotion on the bottom floor also did not interfere.
This situation was suspicious and unreasonable.
Link couldn¡¯t help but recall the deep blue eyes of the Fairy King and his whirlpool-shaped pupils.
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that something was amiss.
¡°Multi-Threading Thinking,¡± activate!
Without any hesitation, Link used his utmost strength, transforming into a humanoid supeputer equipped with top-tier AI.
In conjunction with the ¡°Mind Closure Technique¡± and Hall of Memories, he quickly retrieved memories.
Every scene after the rendezvous shed rapidly through Link¡¯s mind.
He quickly noticed the hint of red light shing in Assad¡¯s eyes before he warned them.
Recounting the first reaction of everyone including Boss Otis after hearing Asaad¡¯s warning was to retreat.
They retreated immediately without even attempting to investigate!
Is this reasonable?
Does it fit with the identity of Boss Otis being a Tier 3 Wizard?
Is it in line with Lokan¡¯s character and style?
¡°It¡¯s wrong!¡±
Link felt as if he had punctured a veil over his consciousness. He woke up abruptly and yelled instantly.
¡°We are tricked! Get back quickly!¡±
¡°The Fairy King is trying to escape!¡±
Chapter 333: 80 Danger!_1
Chapter 333: Chapter 80 Danger!_1
A wake-up call.
Boss Otis, who was in charge of retreat, was the first to react.
Assad, following closely behind, seemed to have an epiphany and halted.
The others were slower, but they did not brush off Link¡¯s words.
After all, Link had been favored by the will of the Wizard World, making him hardest to be affected by illusions or have his cognition manipted.
Even Boss Otis, a Level 3 Wizard, wouldn¡¯t dare im that his resistance to mind-affecting witchcraft was superior to Link¡¯s.
Without waiting for Boss Otis or others to ask questions, Link proactively exined:
¡°The illusion is real, the Fairy King is real, but there¡¯s no trap.
I don¡¯t know what method he used, but he made us decide there¡¯s a trap and hastily retreat all within a moment.
Also, if there really was a trap, why hasn¡¯t he attacked us yet?¡±
Assad had already started to realize something. Having been alerted, he shook his head vigorously and broke free from the fog clouding his mind, regretting, ¡°Ah, I¡¯ve been deceived!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go back!¡±
Boss Otis said nothing to use anyone and took the lead to turn back.
Being a Level 4 meant being a Level 4. There was no denying the second Life Essence Transition.
No matter how weak the Fairy King was, he was still a Level 4 Extraordinary Life.
Even he, a Level 3 Wizard, had been deceived without knowing it.
It was normal for a Level 2 True Spirit Wizard, no matter how formidable his spirit was, to be clouded in his heart.
There was no need for me.
Besides, no one remembered at that instant, that the Fairy King¡¯s innate special power lies in the art of illusions.
What they needed to do now was not to me or rify responsibility, but to try to remedy their mistakes.
The special squad started advancing again to the bottommost floor.
Because they had retreated too quickly earlier, they had already retreated to the fourth floor from the bottom.
If they were to keep working their way down floor by floor, it would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.
¡°Lokan, transform and start smashing downward.¡±
Boss Otis didn¡¯t want to waste any more time. In the right situation, he gave the order without dallying.
¡°Roar!¡±
Lokan did not hesitate, but immediately followed themand.
He opened his mouth wide and roared wildly like a beast.
With a p of his hands, the veins in his neck bulged, his face flushed with blood rushing to his head, and his muscles swelled rapidly.
Just like Dr. Banner transforming into the Hulk, Lokan instantly grew from a two-meter-tall man to a colossal figure nearing ten meters, with arms as thick as Link¡¯s.
His physique, aura, and attitude were all akin to King Kong, capable of battling Godzi!
With a bang.
Giant Lokan¡¯s head directly broke through the dome overhead.
The hole wide opened, scattering debris everywhere.
What Lokan did next was also like King Kong: he partially bent his knees, punched his chest forcefully, let out a roar, and then heavily hit the ground.
After transforming, Lokan possessed not only formidable physical strength but also substantial state-amplifying witchcraft support, increasing his strength, speed, endurance, agility, etc.
This punch, weighed over 100 tons!
It also carried various witchcraft effects such as Demon Breaker, Heavy Hit, and Dizziness.
A rumble echoed.
The entire underground maze of the Inverted Pyramid violently shook.
Link almost lost his bnce and staggered a little before regaining his footing.
The floor beneath him instantly cracked, forming arge hole.
However, the hole was still too small to allow the giant Lokan to fall through.
Lokan was somewhat irritated, swinging his fists twice in a row, hitting the floor with a boom.
The underground maze shook even more violently, and the hole immediately expanded into an opening of around four meters in diameter.
Lokan was the first to jump through the hole to theyer below and then continued smashing downwards with an all or nothing determination.
Boss Otis didn¡¯t idly stand by. He floated up and descended from the hole.
He had readied a Level 3 light and water systembined Dissolution spell, incorporated with his seething rage, to be released anytime.
Soon, Giant Lokan had already pounded through threeyers of ceilings, falling directly to the bottom floor.
With a roar, Lokan directly jumped down onto the stone tform with a powerful strike.
However, the stone tform was empty. Lokan smashed it, which didn¡¯t mean anything at all.
The Fairy King had disappeared without a trace, his whereabouts unknown.
Boss Otis¡¯s Dissolution spell, fueled by infinite fury, directly targeted the life vitality of biological entities and could evaporate a Level 3 Abyss Demon instantly. Now, it found no use.
¡°Betty.¡±
Boss Otis forcefully suppressed his anger and shouted out loud.
¡°Understood.¡±
¡®ck Cat¡¯ Betty had already started scouting on her own.
Not to mention the biomimetic hummingbirds thatpletely controlled the entire undergroundbyrinth,
She even took out a new spherical Reconnaissance Magic Tool, throwing it in all directions of the bottom floor, inspecting all holes it could possibly go through.
Her catlike pupils emitted a bright light, scanning every corner of the hall.
Searching for the whereabouts of the Fairy King.
The Onyx twins began indiscriminate destruction.
They unleashed the Second Ring chain explosion spell, which didn¡¯t need spiritual power and magic power, everywhere like flowing water.
Explosions constantly rang out.
Fire waves scattered, bricks burst, and the floors and walls became even more rugged and bumpy.
Link, d in Armor Orchid Battle Armor and the Defender 3202 suit, could barely withstand the sudden rise in heat.
His hair curled slightly.
However, whether it was Lokan¡¯s strikes, ¡®ck Cat¡¯ Betty¡¯s search, or the twin¡¯s explosive destruction, none of them forced out the Fairy King or found any traces of the Fairy King.
Chapter 334: 80 Danger! _2
Chapter 334: Chapter 80 Danger! _2
Clearly, the Fairy King had already fled far away.
¡°Stop!¡±
Boss Otis suppressed his anger, confirming that the Fairy King had indeed run away, he no longer let his team members exert themselves in vain.
Deep in enemy territory, the consumption of spiritual power could still be replenished, but the consumption of magic power was very troublesome.
Hearing the words of Boss Otis, everyone stopped their actions.
Unwillingly, Lokan growled and transformed from a giant nearly ten meters tall into his normal burly figure.
The special suit changed with his body, and aside from a bit of dust, there was no damage.
This was much better than the Green Giant, who was naked after transforming.
However, Lokan¡¯s transformation was not without its drawbacks.
After returning to his normal size, his eyes were bloodshot, he was panting heavily, and the whole person seemed a bit irritable. He was pacing around the hall, growling lowly from time to time.
This was a sign that his mind was somewhat affected and his emotions were on the verge of going out of control.
If it weren¡¯t for Assad stepping in front of Link in time, Lokan probably would have punched Link in the face.
¡°Assad, report to the front linemand post that the Fairy King has awakened, his injuries have not yet healed, and he has fled. His whereabouts are currently unknown.¡±
Boss Otis gave up on the idea of finding the Fairy King in a short period of time, intending to make other arrangements.
But he didn¡¯t n to hide this from the front linemand post.
Originally, the task of the special squad was to primarily disrupt the ceremony and interrupt the recovery of the Fairy King.
If they could eliminate him, that would be even better, but if they couldn¡¯t, they wouldn¡¯t be med.
Boss Otis was so angry earlier, mainly because he was yed by a Level 4 who he looked down upon, and he was simply embarrassed.
Since bing a Level 3 Wizard, when had he ever suffered such a loss?
Under the watch of Boss Otis, Assad once again made long-distance contact.
Returning to the underground hall, Link, who had not acted at all except for running, walked to the ruins of the stone tform that was smashed by Lokan at the prompt of Franda and the intense desire of the ¡°Seed¡±.
Here were scattered broken bricks and stones.
Some of the stone pieces that still had some shape were stained with the blood of the Fairy King.
Link took out equipment and extracted these blood samples one by one. Most of them were left for the ¡°Seed¡± to absorb, and a small part was used as a research sample.
Seeing that the special squad seemed to stay in the hall for a while and would not leave for the time being, Link took a sample for testing.
In order to get the test results earlier, Link sacrificed the uracy of the test results and sped up the test.
By the time ¡°ck Cat¡± Betty gathered the orb-shaped reconnaissance magic tools that had returned without sess, and Assad had contacted and reported to the front linemand post, Link had also obtained the blood test results of the Fairy King.
Linkpared the blood test results of the Fairy King¡¯s severed arm found outside the Fairy King Forest with the blood test results he just extracted,
Combined with theposition restored in the ¡°Biological Factory¡±, and the defects in theposition,
And the color change of the Fairy King¡¯s eyeballs and the deformation of the pupils,
Link came up with a bold spection that may or may not be urate.
The Fairy King now seems to be different from the original Fairy King!
The body and soul have an interdependent rtionship.
The Fairy King¡¯s mentality would be increasingly unhealthy under the influence of many physical factors such as iplete biochemical modification and enhancement, being severely injured and dying, and the transformation in life form caused by the evil ceremony.
The inadequacy of the mentality could lead to a severe consequence, that is, the soul¡¯s tear.
Because Linkcked an understanding of Level 4 Extraordinary Lives after the second life essence transition, he really didn¡¯t know whether his kind of spection would be outrageously wrong.
He didn¡¯t even know whether revealing this uncertain spection would affect the judgment of Boss Otis and the others.
Therefore, he started to hesitate.
In the process of packing up the samples and experimental equipment, he appeared somewhat unusual.
Assad noticed this. Although he had a frivolous face, his character was actually more meticulous and calm.
The private chat channel in the face shield¡¯s built-in chat system was actually not private enough.
As a captain, Boss Otis could actually hear the private chats between the team members.
This time, in view of the fact that Link¡¯s unusual situation appeared for the first time since they met, and it appeared after a test, Assad chose to use the First Ring witchcraft: spiritual link.
First understand the situation, and then give advice.
The defense of the ¡°Mind Closure Technique¡± gave Link a buffer in advance.
Quickly browsing theyout of the Sea of Consciousness and confirming that there was nothing unusual, Link epted the connection request of the Wizard version quantum encryptedmunication.
¡°What have you found or spected?¡±
Assad¡¯s voice suddenly emerged in Link¡¯s mind.
¡°Yes, but I¡¯m not sure.¡±
Link had a thought and sent the sound back over the channel established in the dark.
¡°Say it out, I¡¯ll help you consider it.¡±
¡°I suspect that the Fairy King has already¡¡±
After hearing Link¡¯s spection, Assad was also unsure how likely it was that Link¡¯s spection would be urate, let alone whether this spection, even if it was urate, would help to track down the Fairy King.
In the final analysis, they stillcked understanding of Level 4 Extraordinary Life after the second life essence transition.
Among the entire special squad, perhaps only Boss Otis, who was a Level 3 Wizard, had some understanding.
After thinking about it, Assad felt that he should inform them. Whether to tell it or not is up to Link, and whether to adopt it or not is Boss Otis¡¯s business.
Hearing this, Link agreed to do so, but then declined Assad¡¯s proposal to inform on his behalf.
Chapter 335: 80 Danger! _3
Chapter 335: Chapter 80 Danger! _3
He knew Assad said this with good intentions.
If it worked out, Link would get some credit, and if it failed, the me wouldn¡¯t fall on Link.
On this journey deep into enemy territory, Link had already felt Assad¡¯s care a lot.
If this continued, he would lose track of how many favours he owed Elise, making it even harder to repay in the future.
He couldn¡¯t possibly sacrifice himself, could he?
If he¡¯s such a loser, he¡¯ll end up with a knife in him!
¡°Captain, I have a less than certain deduction¡¡±
Having made his decision, Link stepped over to Boss Otis and spoke quietly.
However, before Link could finish speaking, Boss Otis didn¡¯t respond.
Listening to Link¡¯s words from the side and venting his emotions, Lokan suddenly interrupted, sneering, ¡°If you¡¯re not certain don¡¯t bber nonsense. Can you take responsibility if something goes wrong? I¡¯ve put up with you for a long time on this journey. Who among these people isn¡¯t of higher level and seniority than you, and more knowledgeable than you? Who gave you the right to do all the talking? It seems like you¡¯re the only one who can study organisms and develop potions.¡±
¡°Lokan!¡±
Boss Otis stared at Lokan, his murderous gaze was intense, his tone coldly rebuking:
¡°Go stand over there and calm down. Don¡¯t dy my work.
And from what I remember, more than one person has warned you not to ignore the impact of body refinement on your rationality, but you never listened, now what?
Can you still effectively control your emotions?
Don¡¯t turn yourself into a wild beast!¡±
Lokan opened his mouth but eventually didn¡¯tpletely lose his sanity like the Deformed Fairy, and reluctantly suppressed his boiling emotions.
Grumpily, he turned around and went to a corner to beat the ground and vent his anger.
Body-refining wizards are very susceptible to emotional vtility during the process of refining and modifying the body, especially if theyck the nourishment of a special potion. It makes their moods unstable and often extreme.
Why does the Serene Wizard indulge Lokan so much?
Because she originally promised to help Lokan refine such a special potion, but eventually couldn¡¯t develop it.
To a certain extent, Lokan¡¯s personality and behaviour changes are the responsibility of the Serene Wizard.
Why does Sage Palo ignore Lokan¡¯s ¡°provocation¡±?
Because she does not indulge in petty squabbles.
¡°Go ahead.¡±
Seeing that Lokan could control himself, Boss Otis put away his murderous intent and intimidation, turned his head to look at Link, and signaled that Link should disregard Lokan¡¯s interruption.
¡°Okay.¡±
Link nodded, paid no mind to the previous interruption, and proceeded to state his deduction.
After listening, Boss Otis didn¡¯tment, but went into deep thought.
Linkcks understanding of level 4 extraordinary life. He doesn¡¯t know that after the second Life Essence Transition, the soul can exist independently of the body.
Physical aspects, such as the negative factors Link mentioned about iplete biological transformation and enhancement, serious injuries, problematic evil rituals leading to life form changes, are not enough to cause the Fairy King¡¯s soul to split.
Therefore, Link¡¯s deduction is invalid!
There was an error, but Boss Otis didn¡¯t undervalue Link because of this. Instead, he saw more clearly why Sage Palo and the Serene Wizard valued Link.
Not everyone has the courage to infer the unknown based on known facts.
And not everyone can risk stating their uncertain deductions in the current situation.
Courage, responsibility, fearlessness of authority, a willingness to explore the unknown, along with talent and mentality. As long as Link Grande doesn¡¯t die halfway, he is certain to achieve something great in the not-too-distant future.
Moreover, although Link¡¯s deduction is invalid, it served as a reminder to Boss Otis.
The Fairy King is seriously injured and on the brink of death, resorting to an evil ritual for recovery.
Now that the ritual was disrupted, not only has the injury not healed, but the Fairy King didn¡¯t even dare to attack the special forces team and could only flee quickly after a bluff.
What does this mean?
It means the Fairy King has lost hisbat power!
So, where can the Fairy King in this state run to?
¡°Let¡¯s leave here first.¡±
Boss Otis, having made a n in his mind, made up his mind.
The special forces immediately activated stealth mode, got into a search formation, and exited the lowest level.
Themotion in the underground maze had long rmed the two groups of fairies fighting each other.
The Second Prince, severely injured, forced himself out of his sickbed, ignoring both his guilt-ridden Fairy King¡¯s Guards and the ¡°new generation¡± of fairies.
Taking his own guard, he entered the underground maze, checked the situation and searched for enemies.
The special forces team and the Fairy Guard led by the Second Prince passed by each other.
What the Second Prince was left to inspect were just a series of big holes, the nearlypletely destroyed lowest level hall, and the ruins of the stone tform.
¡°Search, find them all!¡±
The Second Prince roared in anger, triggering his injured lungs, and started coughing violently.
The ¡°demons¡± from a Different World dared toe and go freely under his nose, disrupting his father¡¯s recovery.
This is simply too arrogant!
The special forces reached the surface and avoided the two fairy groups still at a standoff, returning to their previous high ground.
¡°Contact the front linemand post, request a covering bombardment of the underground maze on the grounds of suspecting that the Fairy King hasn¡¯t fled far and is still hiding in the vicinity.¡±
Boss Otis carelessly nced in the direction of the underground maze and instructed Assad ordingly.
¡°Yes.¡±
Assad, too, didn¡¯t consider the lives of the fairies on the ground and those in the underground maze.
These fairies, to the Wizard World, to the Palo Sage Army, are not good fairies; they belong to the cleanup targets.
Being killed by a covering bombardment isn¡¯t considered coteral damage.
Assad contacted the front linemand post, reported the situation, and submitted the application.
No one noticed, that under the transparency of his visor, Link¡¯s face subtly distorted a bit.
An almost indiscernible ck shadow slipped from Link¡¯s shadow along his ankle, calf, thigh, and spine, swiftly entering Link¡¯s brain.
The defense of the ¡°Mind Closure Technique¡± was at its maximum, and yet it was still broken through.
The Fairy King¡¯s soul subtly invaded Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness, rapidly hurtling toward the spherical Meditation Technique Rune Structure.
It wanted to ¡°possess¡±!
Chapter 336: 81: Possession? Delivering someones head! _1
Chapter 336: Chapter 81: Possession? Delivering someone¡¯s head! _1
Damn it!
That old Bird snuck up on me.
There are seven in a line, the Fairy King didn¡¯t tackle Boss Otis, a Tier 3 Wizard, nor Assad, the True Spirit Wizard, which is understandable.
Their souls are bound to be rtively stronger.
Especially, Boss Otis.
If the Fairy King went after them, he might have ended up losing rather than gaining anything.
However, bypassing Lokan, the Onyx twins and Mark, and ¡°ck Cat¡± Betty, and going straight for Link, seemed a bit too much.
This is bullying, choosing the weakest Wizard Link because of his low wizard¡¯s level.
Link was speechless.
Even more, he was incredibly helpless.
Because he was faced with the most direct crisis since he arrived in this world.
Also, it was the biggest crisis!
Inside Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness, the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit was standing in mid-air, exerting a strong pressure.
Indeed, his soul was not affected by the physical injuries. It was still in perfect shape and strong.
After two Life Essence Transitions, the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit had be substantive.
From its originally invisible and intangible void state, it had evolved into a visible and tangible energy entity.
Even without using spiritual power, it could move matter directly just like the physical body.
And better than the physical body, the soul can change between real and unreal, which is very convenient.
Unless continuing to level up, the physical body is indispensable, many existing beings above Level 4 in all the heavens and realms can discard their physical bodies and roam the world with their souls.
After entering Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness, the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit did not rush to attack.
The flow of time in the Sea of Consciousness is naturally different from the world outside.
Under the influence of the Fairy King, the ratio of time flow from Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness to the outside world has been magnified to a hundred-fold, meaning 100:1.
In other words, every second outside equals one hundred seconds in here.
This is the limit of what Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness can endure.
This ratio is considerable and has exceeded the norm of level 1 Extraordinary Life.
Before the other wizards noticed the anomaly, the Fairy King had enough time to aplish his goals.
After all, for a Level 4 Extraordinary Life to ¡°usurp¡± a First Level Wizard, it¡¯s just a matter of a blink if it goes smoothly.
If not, it would just take a little more effort.
It¡¯s a sure thing.
Or could it possibly capsize in a drain?
Having seen theyout of Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness, as well as his consciousness, concealed in a spherical Meditation Technique Rune structure, the Fairy King couldn¡¯t help but marvel.
He truly chose a good ¡°usurping¡± target for himself.
The Sea of Consciousness is so vast and resilient, and well-organized inside.
Even the strength of his unformed soul consciousness is much higher than that of the average Level 1 Extraordinary Life.
It¡¯s almost approaching a regr Level 2 Extraordinary Life.
Who would have thought? Picking the weakest wizard in a group of seven turned out to yield the one with the most potential.
With this, wouldn¡¯t the ¡°usurping¡± and subsequent developments be smooth sailing?
Ha-ha-ha!
Is my luck finally turning around?
After admiring, the Fairy King didn¡¯t dawdle, nor did he blurt out any viinous lines.
With a ferocious glint in his eyes, he charged straight towards Link¡¯s consciousness tucked within a spherical Meditation Technique Rune structure.
nning to gobble it up all at once.
After digesting, he would acquire everything about Link.
That includes, but is not limited to, identity, knowledge, memory, abilities.
Then he would take Link¡¯s ce, escape from the Fairy World, sneak into the Wizard World, and start all over again.
Underneath theke
In the main part of the spherical Meditation Technique Rune structure, Link¡¯s consciousness, had been immersed in deep thought for a way out, right after the exception urred.
Thanks to the defensive system of the Sea of Consciousness based on the ¡°Mind Closure Technique¡±
Though it failed to keep out the sneak attack of the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit, and broke like a paper window,
It served as an alert and sent a warning.
Allowing Link to detect the anomaly in his Sea of Consciousness the moment the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit invaded, he timely transferred his consciousness underneath theke¡¯s surface.
Leaving a pseudoconsciousness hidden within the pseudo structure of the spherical Meditation Technique Rune.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn¡¯t even stand a chance to meet face to face and would be crushed by the pressure emanated from the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit, sessfullypleting the ¡°usurping¡±.
The Hall of Mind, based on the ¡°Mind Closure Technique¡± and theorized from the Hall of Memories, temporarily confused the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit, buying a bit more time.
Giving Link the opportunity to ponder over countermeasures.
But that didn¡¯t mean Link could breathe easy.
The Fairy King would certainly detect the anomaly if unable to seed.
And soon, he would see through the camouge of Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness.
The time left for Link was running short.
He had to think of a way to expel the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit from his Sea of Consciousness, or destroy it!
Watching the Fairy King pounce towards the spherical Meditation Technique Rune structure in the air, Link couldn¡¯t help but recall an idea that Franda had once brought up:
Meditating using the ¡°Seed¡± to swallow and rece the Meditation Technique Rune structure.
The ¡°Seed¡±, being the result of a broken world origin, was higher in rank and had stronger defensive ability than Link¡¯s present Sea of Consciousness and soul consciousness.
Besides, the ¡°Seed¡± also had the property and ability to devour.
Any foreign bodies entering it, i.e., anything not created within the ¡°Seed¡±, could only remain temporarily.
If not retrieved within a certain period, it would be devoured, digested, and absorbed by the ¡°Seed¡± and converted into nourishment for the evolution of the embryonic world.
Now, Link had a sudden idea, to use the ¡°Seed¡± to devour the spherical Meditation Technique Rune structure, lure the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit into the ¡°Seed¡± when attacking Link¡¯s consciousness at theke bottom, after discovering the camouge of the Sea of Consciousness.
Chapter 337: 81: Possession? Delivering someones head! _2
Chapter 337: Chapter 81: Possession? Delivering someone¡¯s head! _2
Utilizing the ¡°Seed¡¯s¡± position grids, its defenses, and its devouring trait to counter the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit.
The ¡°Multi-Threading Thinking¡± status card is in cooldown.
In his urgency, Link could only rely on hisputing intuition to calcte the feasibility of this n without going into its details.
In their dire state, all they could do was to doctor a dead horse like it was still alive.
No matter how feasible the n was, they could only proceed with it.
As for how to practice the ¡°Water Wood Mutual Growth Meditation Method¡± from the Wizard Scroll after the ¡°Seed¡± consumed the Meditation Sphere, they had to survive first before they could think about it.
Link notified Franda to do her best to protect herself and prepare for a potential retreat at any time. He then quickly controlled the ¡°Seed¡± and swallowed the Meditation Sphere in one gulp.
As soon as hepleted this operation, the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit discovered the truth about the Sea of Consciousness, its gaze ominously focusing on the calmke surface below.
¡°What a surprise!¡±
The Fairy King¡¯s Spirit was slightly irked, having been tricked.
Even when hit by an attack from Sage Palo, who was also a level 4 extraordinary being, the Fairy King didn¡¯t have such a strong reaction.
It was merely ack of skill on his part.
But being fooled by a puny level 1 Wizard was somewhat unbearable.
The youngster has insulted me too much!
The Fairy King¡¯s Spirit quickly retaliated, his powerful spiritual power wreaking havoc in Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness.
All illusions on theke were destroyed.
The Meditation Sphere shattered, and the library copsed.
The water of theke was violently stirred, causing massive waves.
After a moment, a whirlwind formed on the surface of theke.
Like a dragon siphoning water, it drew all theke water into the ¡°sky¡±.
Beneath the turbulentke, the ¡°Meditation Sphere¡± emerged and flew towards the powerful Fairy King¡¯s Spirit.
Link, cowering in fear within the sphere, looked terrified.
The Fairy King¡¯s Spirit opened its mouth wide and swallowed the ¡°Meditation Sphere¡±.
Before the Fairy King even began to grind away at Link¡¯s consciousness.
A powerful sucking force suddenly emerged from the ¡°Meditation Sphere¡± within his belly.
This suction force was so peculiar that the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit could not resist it for a time and was sucked into the sphere against his will.
The ¡°Meditation Sphere¡± then shed its disguise, revealing the true nature of the ¡°Seed¡±.
Link¡¯s consciousness and Franda both sprang out from the inside of the ¡°Seed¡± at the same moment, passing the absorbed Fairy King¡¯s Spirit and ending up in the wrecked Sea of Consciousness.
As soon as they steadied themselves, they immediately began to operate.
The big and small figure, the master of the ¡°Seed¡±, and the ¡°Spirit¡± of the ¡°Seed¡±, fully stimted their respective authorities.
They firmly locked the inside and outside of the ¡°Seed¡±, closing all entrances and exits and trapping the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit inside like a jail cell.
Caught off guard by the sudden change, the Fairy King could finallyprehend what was going on.
Especially since the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit was not slow.
However, after he managed to break free from the irresistible peculiar suction force.
Upon looking around, he found that he was no longer in the despised Wizard¡¯s Sea of Consciousness, but rather in a very unfamiliar prototype world.
This prototype world was small, but its rules wereprehensive and quiteplete. All it needed was orderly development and it could grow.
The unfortunate part was that all the exits and entrances between the prototype world and the outside world had beenpletely sealed off.
If the Fairy King wanted to get out, he could only do so by force, by attacking the world¡¯s barriers.
However, after a reconnaissance of the situation, the Fairy King was very frustrated to discover that he seemed incapable of breaking down this prototype world.
The bright ¡°sun¡± in the sky was a manifestation of a world¡¯s will, which was hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the fairy world¡¯s world will.
The faintly appearing ¡°moon¡± on the horizon was much smallerpared to the ¡°sun¡±, but it was still powerful enough to make the Fairy King lose all desire to resist.
The sun and the moon represented the rules of time.
For a prototype world to already have a set but well-developed time rule during its ¡°Seed¡± phase, what did that signify?
It signified that, given enough resources, this prototype world could definitely grow into a ¡°World¡±.
And there was no need to take the route of a neutered ¡°Domain¡± or the more tool-like ¡°Gate¡±.
To an extraordinary being at level 4, possessing a ¡°World¡± was a concept different from not having a ¡°World¡±.
The gap between the two concepts was incalcble.
A level 4 Sage possessing a ¡°World¡±, attacking a normally promoted Sage Palo would be like Sage Palo attacking the Fairy King.
Just one blow, a casual one at that.
That¡¯s how absurd it was!
In his current state of being purely a soul, the Fairy King couldn¡¯t think about breaking the barriers of the prototype world, let alone defending himself.
¡°The half-sized person starves to death on me.¡±
A ¡°Seed¡± at its germination stage is very hungry. As long as it is to its taste, it dares to eat anything.
With the sun and the moon as its support, the ¡°Seed¡± couldn¡¯t wait to devour the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit to replenish itself.
The Fairy King had chosen Link as he wanted to pinch a soft persimmon.
However, he found, much to his horror, that he hadn¡¯t picked a soft persimmon, but rather kicked a solid iron te.
He capsized in the gutter.
With this, the Fairy King was thoroughly in despair, his spirits sunken, not even exhibiting the will to resist.
Link and Franda nervously watched the inside of the ¡°Seed¡±, observing the fluctuations of the Fairy King.
However, they saw him standing still for a while, showing no signs of movement.
Both were inevitably puzzled, unable to understand what was happening.
¡°Master, has he gone silly?¡±
Franda asked nkly.
¡°I¡¯m not sure.¡±
Link¡¯s consciousness was currently just a mist-like cloud, unable to make any expression.
Chapter 338: 81: Possession? Delivering someones head! _3
Chapter 338: Chapter 81: Possession? Delivering someone¡¯s head! _3
Otherwise, Franda would have certainly noticed, the confusion written over the usually omnipotent master¡¯s brows.
Link, too, was utterly at a loss as to what the Fairy King was thinking.
However, whatever it was, it must have been something good that defied Link¡¯s knowledge.
Indeed, every good deed has its reward.
¡°So, what should we do, Master? Stand by and do nothing?¡±
Franda wrinkled her cute little face and asked expectantly.
She was eager now to strike at those who dared ambush her master.
Her instinct told her that she could confront the bad guys now without worrying about any retaliation from them.
¡°Seed¡± will go all out to assist her.
But without themand from her master, Franda wouldn¡¯t act impulsively.
¡°As long as there are no signs of him escaping, we¡¯ll leave him alone for now.¡±
Having pondered upon it for a while, Link decided to adopt a conservative stance to avoid being fooled. He ordered, ¡°Franda, watch over his every move, and along the way, help your master clean up the Sea of Consciousness.¡±
¡°Certainly, Master.¡±
Franda answered sweetly.
Cleaning up the Sea of Consciousness was effortlessly simple, not asplicated as reshaping it.
Having ess to all of Link¡¯s knowledge, Franda, once granted permission by Link, could tune the Hall of Mind developed based on the ¡°Mind Closure Technique¡± and the theory of Hall of Memories.
Link had to withdraw his consciousness from the Sea of Consciousness to return to the real world.
In the real world, Link had teammates around him, especially True Spirit Wizard Assad and Boss Otis. Any prolonged immersion in the Sea of Consciousness would undoubtedly raise suspicions.
He didn¡¯t know much about these teammates, including the friendliest of them, Assad, let alone fully understand them.
His teammate Lokan, in fact, harbored stark hostility against Link.
Given all these considerations, Link decided not to reveal some of his secrets to them for the time being.
Therefore, the Fairy King¡¯s soul attempted ambush in the Sea of Consciousness, intending to possess him. They must not discover this, at least not at the present moment.
Only when meeting Sage Palo would Link spill the beans.
If not, he could potentially be perceived as someone who was already possessed by the Fairy King.
Lokan would certainly seize such an opportunity, unhesitantly making a move.
That kind of turn of events, however, wouldn¡¯t align with Link¡¯s interests.
Alright, Link admitted it. Once again, he didn¡¯t refrain from hypothesizing someone¡¯s intentions with his worst assumptions.
Drawing a deep breath, Link retained a serene expression, quickly adjusting his condition.
Assad, with his sharp senses, sensed something unusual and asked, ¡°Have you discovered something? Or has something affected you?¡±
As nonchntly as he could, Link replied, ¡°I haven¡¯t discovered anything. I was just reflecting on that absurd conjecture earlier and learning a lesson from it.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡±
Assad was skeptical but didn¡¯t probe further.
Everyone harbors secrets they don¡¯t wish to share.
Unremittingly pursuing an answer from someone who¡¯s unwilling to share their secrets is frowned upon.
Assad didn¡¯t want to be that annoying person, so he remained silent.
¡°Betty, you scout. Onyx and Mark, you be on guard duty, everyone else, do what you need to do. We¡¯ll wait for the reinforcements before discussing anything else.¡±
Boss Otis cast a nce towards the location of the Inverted Pyramid¡¯s undergroundbyrinth and made the decision to let the squad, who has been working non-stop since their arrival, rest.
In any case, the main objective of this mission had been achieved.
No matter if the Fairy King escaped. He was like a grasshopper in Autumn, his days were numbered.
The members of the special team set off to perform their duties as ordered.
Unable to shake off his temper, Lokan sulked in a corner, uttering eloquent invectives in an undertone.
His silhouette somehow gave off a silly vibe.
¡°ck Cat¡± Betty operated the Biomimetic Hummingbird, setting up surveince around the perimeter.
The twins Onyx and Mark, each standing on either side, were on alert.
Assad was pulled away by Boss Otis for another attempt to contact the Command Post and the reinforcement team.
Link found a spot shielded from the wind, took out his miniature experimental equipment and decided to redo the blood test he had done in haste earlier.
This time, there was nopromise on uracy for speed.
While waiting for the test result, Link multitasked as he plunged his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness, monitoring the Fairy King imprisoned in the ¡°Seed¡± with Franda.
After some time of buffering, ¡°Seed¡± began to exhibit its devouring nature.
Like ants gnawing away at an elephant, it slowly tore apart the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit.
The Fairy King¡¯s Spirit could do nothing about this Rule Power.
Beyond futilely retracting his spirit in defense against the gnawing and attempting to slow down the rate at which it was being consumed, he was powerless to do anything else.
The powerful ruler of the Fairy World, the Supreme King of all Fairy ns had been reduced to such a pitiful state.
How depressing! What a pitiful feeling!
As the master of the ¡°Seed,¡±
Link sensed the satisfaction and pleasure that the ¡°Seed¡± was expressing obliquely,
and witnessed the blush gradually paint Franda, the ¡°Spirit,¡± the color of a wine-flushed face,
His mood significantly brightened, transitioning from the rm he felt when the Fairy King ambushed him and almost possessed him, into an exhrating contentment.
Just when he was worrying about where to find resources for the second phase of ¡°Seed¡± cultivation, the Fairy King came gift wrapped into his hands.
Such a pleasant surprise deserves a good cheers.
A moment for celebration, indeed!
Chapter 339: Where does the disturbance of 82 come from, where does it return to _1
Chapter 339: Where does the disturbance of 82e from, where does it return to _1
This would be akin to a real-life snake swallowing an elephant.
What¡¯s unique is that the ¡°seed¡±, this snake, has arge capacity but weak digestion.
While it won¡¯t suffer from indigestion,
it will take a very, very long time to fully devour and absorb the soul of the level 4 extraordinary life form, the Fairy King.
Neither Link nor Franda have the ability to elerate this process.
This means that for some time toe, Franda, as the ¡°Spirit¡± of the ¡°seed¡±, will have no home.
Within the Cultivation Secret Realm, through the unknown methods of unknown entities, Franda¡¯s life form has be incredibly unique.
In the ¡°seed¡± and in the real world, she is a real, fully alive being.
She can also transform from solid to ethereal, living in Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness.
Link¡¯s current situation does not permit him to summon Franda and keep her by his side.
So, Franda will have to reside in Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness for quite some time.
With the permissions granted by Link, Franda can move the existing ¡°structures¡± within Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness without touching the contents.
She can also create new ¡°structures¡± that are appearance-only, using them as her dwelling ce.
¡°Master, can I build a small house?¡±
Before hastily building, Franda opted to seek Link¡¯s opinion first.
¡°Yes, you can build it next to the library.¡±
Link had no reason to refuse.
Having already fed Franda, he could not make her endure homelessness.
If he did, he would truly be a heartless capitalist.
¡°Thank you, Master. You¡¯re so wonderful.¡±
Franda¡¯s face blossomed into a big, sweet smile as she cheered excitedly.
Soon after, she split her attention. While keeping an eye on the Fairy King¡¯s soul within the ¡°seed¡± and happily building and tidying up ¡°structures¡±, she hummed a little tune.
Seeing this, Link couldn¡¯t help butugh.
Certainly, only by being carefree can one feel true happiness.
He just hoped that Franda was genuinely worry-free.
And not hiding her emotions under a veneer of nonchnce.
Even now, Link couldn¡¯t forget Franda¡¯s reluctance and pleading towards the God yer that day.
He couldn¡¯t forget Franda¡¯s bitter tears after momentarily reuniting with her father, then losing him again.
After the initial stages, the pain of losing a loved one bes like water.
Continuous and nuanced, silent when small, roaring when great.
Link hoped that Franda wouldn¡¯t suddenly tear up at the drop of a hat someday ¨C that feeling is unbearable.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, seeing that both his Sea of Consciousness and the ¡°seed¡± are fine, Link stopped worrying too much.
He returned his consciousness to the real world.
After a period of patient waiting, the results of the Fairy King¡¯s blood test were now ready.
Link picked up the results, reading andparing them with care.
The detailed report provided more solid evidence for the hypothesis of the Fairy King¡¯s changed physical form,pared to the hasty results obtained previously.
However, this result didn¡¯t really have a significant impact on the current situation faced by the special squad.
It did however provide some hints for Link¡¯s research topic.
Before joining the special squad, Link had two ongoing research topics:
One was to explore the nature of the Fairy¡¯s Inherent Ability;
The other was to perfect enhancement bio-transformations and strengthening ns for the Fairy¡¯s Inherent Ability.
Until now, these two topics still had many unresolved parts, and the results were yet to show.
It should be known that Link¡¯s initial intention for joining the special squad and venturing into enemy territory,
was to gather more material for these two topics, conduct more experiments, and collect more data.
And not to blow up the ¡°Biological Factory¡±, or hunt down the Fairy King.
We shouldn¡¯t confound the order of importance, right?
With the Fairy King¡¯s soul now ensnared, Link could confidently work on his private interests.
Therefore, after finishing his conversation with Boss Otis, Assad saw a Link who was increasingly obsessed with various biochemical experiments.
¡°They say one must be mad to live.¡±
Assad shook his head and sighed, ¡°Your fervor matches well with Elise¡¯s.¡±
Upon hearing this, Link was taken aback but didn¡¯t know what to say.
After all, the other party was Elise¡¯s future brother-inw, and had taken good care of him along the way.
Elise rk, potentially a fellow countrywoman, hadn¡¯t done anything bad to him either, and even offered to support him financially.
There was absolutely no need for him to say something unpleasant.
Unuttered, Link was the master of his words.
But once spoken, he would be a ve to them.
It would possibly lead to unwantedplications, resulting in unpleasantness for everyone.
Swallowing the words that were on the tip of his tongue, giving an embarrassed smile to Assad, Link continued to focus on his experiments.
Assad intentionally moved away a bit, not wanting to disturb Link¡¯s research.
That is, until the support squad arrived to regroup.
Following the directives from the Front Line Command Post, the two squadsbined and came under themand of Boss Otis.
The tier 3 wizard from the intelligence bureau, Valerian Boss assisted.
The task was straightforward ¨C to hunt down the fleeing Fairy King.
This showed the Front Line Command Post¡¯s judgement ¨C the current Fairy King did not have the power to stand against the two tier 3 wizards.
Once the two squadsbined, they directly began the hunt for the Fairy King under Boss Otis¡¯ leadership.
The initial progress was smooth; they quickly found the Fairy King¡¯s fragmented body.
Chapter 340: 82: Where it Comes From, it Goes Back_2
Chapter 340: Chapter 82: Where it Comes From, it Goes Back_2
Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the Fairy King¡¯s soul remains unknown. (Link mutters under his breath: ¡°I know where.¡±)
After preserving the somewhat research-worthy, broken down body of the Fairy King, the two squads continue their mission to hunt for his soul.
At first, Link thought that the ¡°seed¡± might need a very long time to devour the soul of the Fairy King, so he didn¡¯t mind.
He figured they could keep searching, how much time could it really take?
Perhaps at most one or two days, he could bear that.
Who could have known, even after the end of the third campaign, the two squads received no permission from the Command Post to cease their search.
Yes, the third campaign has ended!
After the Fairy King remains missing and several key forts and the royal court fell, the resistance of the Fairy royal family plummeted.
Apart from scattered small-scale resistance, the entire Fairy World is essentially under the control of the Palo¡¯s Sage army.
Even the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince have been captured one by one.
Except for a few nobles and generals with staunch resistance from the Fairy royal family and the Royal Family, who died in battle, the rest became captives.
Several major Fairy Dukes who were quick to surrender weremissioned to establish a Five-n Coalition Government to manage the Fairy World.
Yes, the Rainforest Fairies are no longer part of the royal family, but they are still one of the five major Fairy ns, and enjoy the same political status as the High Mountain, Grasnd, River, and Ocean ns.
This has led to considerable dissatisfaction among the Fairy Dukes of the other four ns, causing quite amotion.
But the situation is stronger than the people.
The current situation in the Fairy World is in the hands of Palo¡¯s Sage army.
When the Palo Sage Army speaks, the four n¡¯s Fairy Dukes have to listen, whether they like it or not.
There¡¯s no room for bargaining.
If it doesn¡¯t work, they¡¯ll just rece the fairy.
After all, there are many fairies coveting their positions.
As the four ns¡¯ Fairy Dukes got a taste of even greater power, they also felt the vaguely visible shackles around their necks.
The representative of the Rainforest Fairies, of course, cannot be chosen from the princes, the mainline of the royal family, or even the major branches of the royal family.
In the end, the seat was imed by a highly respected elderlymoner of humble birth.
Such a choice would further pacify the Rainforest Fairy n.
After ruling the Fairy World for nearly a thousand years, even if Palo¡¯s Sage Army has decimated the Rainforest Fairy n¡¯s armies, they still have a deep foundation. With some mobilization, training, and arming, they can muster an army capable of contending with the other four ns.
And allowing a strong, prestigious Fairy to represent the Rainforest Fairies would only create problems.
Better to strangle this threat in the crib. It will save a lot of trouble.
The first order of business after the formation of the Five-n Coalition Government was public trial.
The people facing public trial were the absent Fairy King, the princes, the remaining members of the royal family, and certain Royal n nobles.
There were heaps of charges, ranging from extortion and aggressive tactics, abduction, corruption, reckless disregard for life, to excessive indulgence, extravagant construction, provoking wars, wasting public energy, and so on and so forth, too many to count.
The purpose was only one: to smash the positive image of the Fairy Royal n, Royal Family, and Fairy King, to paint them as the viins, in order to mitigate the effects of war and prevent possible rebellion.
The participants in the prosecution and the hearing were mainly representatives of the impoverished from all groups.
Nobles could observe, but they were notpelled to attend ¨C it was entirely up to them.
The public trialsted for three days.
By the end, the scene was somewhat out of control.
Because the Fairy Royal n and Royal Family have indeed done too many horrible things.
Many, many downtrodden fairies have suffered oppression from the royal and royal families.
When so many victims gathered and recounted their experiences of oppression and persecution, it aroused the anger of many fairies.
They wished they could tear these detestable parasites and vermin to pieces right there on the spot.
Only under the strenuous efforts of the Five-n Coalition Government was order notpletely lost.
In the end, the princes, other members of the royal family, and some noble fairies who were put on trial were beaten to death.
Their bodies, however, were still preserved.
The Fairy nobles watching on the sidelines all turned pale out of fright towards the end.
Especially the physically disabled third prince. Before his death, he cried out, ¡°Today it¡¯s me, tomorrow it will be you. I¡¯ll be waiting for you,¡± which caused many Fairy nobles to tremble with fear.
Everyone knows that among the princes, the one with the most wisdom and insight is the third prince.
Before his death, he must have had a purpose in yelling out like that, and he definitely must have seen a trend.
Perhaps the social structure of the Fairy World will undergo even more radical changes.
All ns¡¯ nobles hope that their status, power, and interests will not be impacted too severely.
Thus, they all enthusiastically participated in the establishment of the Five-n Coalition Government.
From central to local, at all levels, and in all institutions, the establishment work was extremely smooth.
Palo¡¯s Sage¡¯s army¡¯s conquest of the Fairy World has thus smoothly entered a transitional stage, with the second phase thought warfare as the main and third phase indirect rule as the auxiliary.
These were all read out loud every day by Assad, the True Spirit Wizard who could most suitably be described as a human radio, in order to relieve boredom.
Link listened with half an ear, only interested enough to understand what was happening, but not concerned with these details.
What he cared about now was when this search mission, destined to be fruitless, would finallye to an end.
Even if the two squads search around the Fairy King¡¯s Forest for a long time, it would bepletely meaningless.
Chapter 341: 82: Where it Comes From, Where it Returns To_3
Chapter 341: Chapter 82: Where it Comes From, Where it Returns To_3
Unfortunately, without the permission of the front-linemand, the two squads could only patrol in the Fairy King Forest.
Doing the same thing every day, with no technical substance, unable to show anything abnormal, was extremely boring.
Link, with two projects that were about to yield final results, needed time for further research.
Consequently, he felt even more bored and annoyed.
If it wasn¡¯t for the ¡°seed¡± being too attractive and bound to draw attention, Link would havee clean.
He would have told everyone that he was just about to obliterate the soul of the Fairy King!
Then there would be no need to roam around aimlessly in the Fairy King Forest all day!
But he dared not, he could only grumble in his mind.
Helpless, Link had to use the ¡°Mind Closure Technique¡± to block out rted emotions and painfully endure it.
Like this, he wasted another 7 days.
That day, a message was passed from the frontlinemand that Sage Palo had confirmed the Fairy King¡¯splete death through a special method.
The World¡¯s Mind of the Wizard World hadpletely infiltrated the World¡¯s Mind of the Fairy World.
The two squads were allowed to terminate their hunting mission and return to the advance base for rest.
Yes, the majority of the Sage Palo¡¯s army was still stationed at the advance base.
Only a small part required to interact with the Five-n Coalition Government would station in the Royal Court or other ces.
The first thing upon returning to the base, of course, was to report.
Boss Otis, as the special squad captain, was given an opportunity to report one-on-one to Sage Palo.
Thissted for thirty minutes.
Valerian Boss, albeit being a Tier 3 wizard like Otis, had the same opportunity to report one-on-one to Sage Palo.
However, he rejected it and had Boss Otis deliver the briefing report on his behalf.
This one was very reserved, and after the two squadsbined, he didn¡¯t say more than 20 words besides giving orders.
When the special squad finished reporting, Link¡¯s secondment ended, and he became ¡°free¡± again.
After saying goodbye to Assad, to Lokan who never liked him, and to all members of the special and auxiliary squads, Link turned around and entered the tent where Sage Palo was located.
Link also had the qualification for a one-on-one report!
This surprised everyone, but they also found it within reason.
Already well-known among the army, Sage Palo valued Link Grande highly and treated him almost like his own son.
A one-on-one report was nothing surprising.
¡°Something to say? Spit it out.¡±
In the tent, Sage Palo leaned in his rocking chair, feigning sleep, with traces of fatigue on his face.
Even a Fourth-Level Sage could not avoid the trouble of paperwork.
¡°My research will soon be sessful, but stillcks some experimental materials, corpses and living bodies.¡±
Link didn¡¯t beat around the bush; he stated his request directly.
War had drawn to a close and so biochemical research could not be conducted brazenly anymore.
He needed permission from the frontlinemand to acquire experimental materials, then quietly get to work.
¡°Just apply normally, don¡¯t make it too special.¡±
Sage Palo was not opposed, merely reminding him.
¡°Alright, I will.¡±
Link nodded, hesitated for a moment, and didn¡¯t mention the ¡°seed¡± and the matter of the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit.
Just like what Sage Palo had hinted before:
Some things can be done but not said, some things can be said but not done.
The matter of the ¡°seed¡± and the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit could only be done, not said.
¡°Go back to the rear Potion Department then, old man Morpheus has been missing you.¡±
Sage Palo waved his hand, dismissed him and gave Link his next appointment.
¡°Thank you, Sage Palo.¡±
Link was eager to ept this arrangement.
The work in the rear Potion Department was easy withpleteboratory facilities and equipment and with a nice boss. Where else could he find such a good job?
After bidding farewell to Sage Palo, Link immediately informed old man Morpheus of his imminent return, then headed for the nearby portal.
After a brief wait in line, Link stepped into the portal.
A momentter, he emerged in a new ce, from the Fairy World¡¯s frontline base to the rear camp in the Deste World.
As soon as Link stepped out of the portal, he saw old man Morpheus awaiting eagerly.
Upon seeing Link¡¯s figure, old man Morpheus rushed over with his arms spread out.
After a hearty bear hug, Old Man Morpheus shouted loudly:
¡°I¡¯ve missed you to death!¡±
Chapter 342: 83 Beg Me!_1
Chapter 342: Chapter 83 Beg Me!_1
¡°So, did you gain much?¡±
Morpheus took a step back, quickly releasing his hold, and asked with concern.
¡°Not bad, quite good actually.¡±
Reflecting on his behind-enemy-lines operation, aside from wasting a bit of time at the final stage, Link had made great gains elsewhere.
Two projects were about to yield results, only needing some additional experiments and data.
ording to Link¡¯s experience, these two achievements could be worth a lot of ¡°Academic Points¡± and Magic Stones.
Also, more than one-fifth of the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit has been devoured by the ¡°Seed¡±, providing great nourishment on both the rule and energy levels.
Indeed, the gains were considerable.
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
Morpheus felt truly pleased.
A slightly distorted, chilling smile appeared on his battered face.
Even though he was borrowed, Link did represent the rear Potion Department in this behind-enemy-lines mission.
A boon for Link meant a good performance.
The Potion Department could celebrate some secondary gains.
And Morpheus, the Potion Department Head, could now speak with more authority.
Well, this logic could barely be justified.
¡°This isn¡¯t a good ce to talk.¡±
Morpheus turned around and headed towards the floating car, speaking as he walked, ¡°Let¡¯s head back.¡±
There were no objections from Link, who followed him at once.
The two of them drove towards the Potion Department Headquarters.
As soon as they were in the car, Morpheus startedining:
¡°Ah, luckily you were just borrowed, not transferred.
If you had been, I¡¯d have to find another good helper or two.
During the time you weren¡¯t here, I was almost mad because of the personnel from the Medical Department.
They are useless in everything except for snatching credit.
If it wasn¡¯t for my firm stance, they would have given up long ago.
I really can¡¯t understand how Salossal led his people. He somehow ruined a group of pharmacists and R&D Engineers that were well-trained by the Serene Wizard.
It¡¯s truly an unforgivable sin.¡±
Link didn¡¯t understand the actual situation, so he just listened without rashly expressing an opinion.
Fortunately, Morpheus was just venting and didn¡¯t expect to findfort or support from Link.
Seeing that Link wasn¡¯t very interested in this topic, he eventually stopped talking.
The car fell silent for the time being.
The atmosphere wasn¡¯t awkward, just silent.
Soon, the floating car arrived in front of the shit-brown bungalow that housed the Potion Department Headquarters.
¡°You seem pretty tired. Take the rest of the day off, rx back in your dorm, ande to report to me tomorrow.¡±
Seeing the tiredness Link couldn¡¯t hide, Morpheus sincerely advised just before getting out of the car.
Usually tough, yet also understanding of his subordinates.
A blend of tough and tender, Morpheus truly grasped the essence of administrative management.
¡°Okay, thank you, Head.¡±
After thanking him, Link got out of the car, nced at the nted sign on the door, and noted that nothing seemed to have changed.
Then he picked up his heavy backpack, said goodbye to Morpheus, and headed straight through the office area, crossed the courtyard, and came back to his dorm.
After putting down his backpack and taking a rxing hot shower to wash away his fatigue, he turned on the dorm¡¯s defense mode and tasked the diligent Franda with keeping guard. Then, Link fell into a sound sleep.
Taking baths and sleeping soundly had be Link¡¯s routine means of relieving fatigue.
While Link was sleeping soundly, his return sparked a heated debate in the Potion Department.
Of course, the main character in this controversy was Link, and it originated within the Potion Development and Refining Teams.
Up till now, Link was still the team leader of both teams.
However, for ease of management, during Link¡¯s loan period, Morpheus appointed two acting team leaders to oversee the Potion Development and Refining Teams, respectively.
No matter how small, a mosquito¡¯s leg is still meat.
Don¡¯t underestimate the importance of being a team leader.
If they could remove the ¡°acting¡± prefix, it would reflect greatly on the career records of the two acting team leaders.
Whether they continue serving in the Legion or return to their homnd, this could prove helpful.
So, faced with Link, the official team leader of both teams, the two acting team leaders teamed up in an unspoken alliance to start a smear campaign against Link.
They used him of neglecting his duties by abandoning proper potion development and refinement to study fairies instead;
They said hecked a sense of responsibility; at the critical moment of Potion Department¡¯s restart, he took part in a borrowing task that could be refused.
Some facts, some exaggerations, and some distortions.
In short, there was just one purpose, to force Link to voluntarily resign.
After a sound sleep, Link woke up refreshed.
Having tidied up a bit, Link went to report to Morpheus.
As he walked past the offices, all sorts of rumors drifted into his ears.
After thinking for a moment, Link quickly understood the malicious intentions hidden behind these rumors.
¡°Heh ¡¡±
Linkughed coldly, knocking on the door to Morpheus¡¯s office.
¡°Come in!¡±
Morpheus always answered energetically.
Pushing open the door to the Minister¡¯s office, Link didn¡¯t waste any time, ¡°After politely greeting, I would like to resign from both the Potion Development and Potion Refining Teams and focus on,¡± he said directly after a polite greeting.
Originally, Link had thought that if the people from the Medical Department performed well, he wouldn¡¯t mind listing a few more names in the uing heavy hitting ¡°papers¡±.
Now, ha-ha, I¡¯m done ying with you.
You can y your petty tricks by yourselves.
Disgusting.
¡°Hmm¡¡±
Morpheus pondered for a while, sensing Link¡¯s determination, he didn¡¯t try to persuade him but nodded in agreement, ¡°That¡¯s fine. It would be better to focus on your research without any distractions.¡±
Chapter 343: 83: Beg me! _2
Chapter 343: Chapter 83: Beg me! _2
Morpheus turned the conversation; ¡°Actually, I¡¯ll establish a new research group and still have you as the team leader.¡±
¡°I ept.¡±
Link agreed with the proposal.
In this way, he could escape the two mires of both the potion development team and the potion refinement team.
Alone in his group, he could close the doors, retreat into his tower, and take care of his own affairs.
He could then avoid all the bullshit that he didn¡¯t want to get involved in.
Once the two of them confirmed their n, they started to take action.
Office space and a fully equippedboratory were already prepared; Link just had to pack up and move in.
Morpheus would take care of the administrative procedures.
In his newly proposed research group¡¯sb, Link familiarized himself with the equipment and began to conclude two main research projects.
First, he submitted a special request for further research to the front-linemand post.
While he was waiting for the application to be approved and for other required research materials, Link didn¡¯t waste time. He started organizing all the experimental data from past research and got to writing the outlines for some research articles.
While Link was deep in his studies, a new startling rumor waves beleaguered the Potion Department.
Link had been removed from position as team leader for both the potion development and potion refinement teams, and was instead appointed as the leader of a newly formed team.
However, this change came as a surprise to very few people.
No matter what, Link was considered a highly meritorious individual in the Potion Department.
The Department was able to clear away undesirables, maintain the environment, restart business, all of which were closely rted to him.
Even if his removal from the positions of the two teams was due to public sentiment, he was entitled to a differentpensation.
No one could object to Link¡¯s new appointment.
However, the choice of new leaders for the potion development and potion refinement teams was indeed unexpected to many.
The new leaders were not the two acting team leaders who had been actively opposed Link, but two deputy leaders who were always quiet and diligent.
Furthermore, Morpheus blindsided everyone by transferring the two acting team leaders back to the Medical Department!
He reasoned that they were unsuited for the role as they were not united with their colleagues, practiced istionism, and caused division.
Indeed, Morpheus had struck a major blow to the acting team leaders.
They not only failed to achieve their desired position, they also messed up their careers, which they valued most.
They sheepishly returned to the Medical Department, only to be met with disdain and ridicule.
This failure would not sit well with them.
The two of them were desperate to continue the contention.
Morpheus was having none of it, though, and ordered them to be taken out of here like trash, littering the Potion Department.
He even threatened them, saying, ¡°Dare step into the Potion Department again and your legs will be broken!¡±
After experiencing this event, all personnel, old or new, in the Potion Department gained a deeper understanding of Link¡¯s position.
Link was neither deaf nor blind and was of course aware of everything that Morpheus had done.
He felt a sense of gratitude in his heart and subsequently received the experimental materials delivered by the front linemand post, after they quickly approved his application.
Included in the materials was some parts of the Fairy King¡¯s broken body.
Link started a rigorous research process whichsted three straight days and nights.
Despite the tremendous workload, the oue was equally fruitful.
Roaming around in the Fairy King Forest and simting experiments in his mind had proven useful to curb boredom and ennui.
To some extent, it improved the efficiency of Link¡¯s research this time.
Having sorted out all experiments and collected all data, Link didn¡¯t continue overnight but instead chose to rest and clear his mind.
He didn¡¯t even go back to the dormitory. Instead, he took a shower and had a good night¡¯s sleep right in theb.
Upon waking up, Link rolled up his sleeves and wrote three research articles.
The main topics were: aprehensive analysis of fairies (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry), the nature of fairy inherent abilities (soul, body) and the principles, ws, and improvements in the biochemical enhancement and strengthening scheme for enhancing fairy inherent abilities.
In addition to these three articles, Link had another groundbreaking aplishment.
During the improvement of the biochemical enhancement and strengthening scheme, Link had pondered how to transnt this approach to wizards.
Notably, Link was inspired by the Serene Wizard¡¯s experiment that improved wizard qualifications.
He was also grateful for the first deformed fairy he dissected and to Lokan, who was a body-refining wizard.
Both allowed Link to understand the positive and negative effects of biochemical enhancement and strengthening more directly.
Link¡¯s breakthrough achievement was a set of potions.
These potions could be used for targeted improvement, or they could enhance all aspects of the wizard¡¯s physical qualities who epts the enhancement and refinement.
Targeted improvement means selecting from strength, endurance, damage resistance, speed, agility, reactions, or constitution, anything one needs or anything that is a weak point, to enhance in single or multiple areas (not exceeding four).
All-around enhancement literally means what its name implies ¡ª a moreprehensive and bnced improvement though slightly inferior in terms of enhancements degree.
You can¡¯t have your cake and eat it too.
You gain some, you lose some.
Actually, the initial version of this breakthrough achievement was much more potent than the final version.
It could not only enhance physical qualities but also improve soul talents.
Combined, these couldprehensively improve wizard qualifications.
It achieved something that the Serene Wizard¡¯s experiment couldn¡¯t.
He didn¡¯t adopt the initial version and chose to ¡°castrate¡± it, resulting in the weakened final version.
Chapter 344: 83 begging for me!_3
Chapter 344: 83 begging for me!_3
It was the contrast between the Fairy King¡¯s damaged body and intact soul that made Link realize that his current understanding of the soul was notprehensive and deep enough.
Therefore, for safety¡¯s sake, Link went all in.
Anything rted to the soul was cut off, even if it meant reducing the degree of enhancement and advancement, he was willing to do so.
Later, when he can better understand the soul, he can reverse it, and it would not be toote.
Having organized his three ¡°papers¡± and hard-core results, Link emerged from hisboratory after several days of seclusion, walking to the minister¡¯s office under the slightly strange gazes of the crowd.
The door was open, and Link knocked and then walked straight in.
¡°Yo, you finally came out.¡±
Old Man Morpheus seemed in a good mood, rarely speaking in a whimsical tone, and teased Link as soon as they met.
Link smiled but didn¡¯t respond to his tease, he just said, ¡°I need your signature.¡±
As he spoke, Link handed over his brai.
There were three ¡°papers¡± listed on the screen, with Old Man Morpheus¡¯s name filled in as the corresponding author.
As long as he signed, Old Man Morpheus was equivalent to gaining ¡°academic points¡± for free while sitting in the office.
¡°Oh, interesting.¡±
Old Man Morpheus stretched out his finger and slid across the brai screen, browsing through the content of the ¡°papers¡±.
The further he read, the more serious his originally casual attitude became.
After reading the three ¡°papers¡±, Old Man Morpheus had no mood to tease Link anymore. He looked at Link with wide eyes, as if looking at a monster, and asked in astonishment, ¡°Is this the result of your work over the past few days?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Link shook his head, ¡°Not just these days, but also includes my research before being transferred and the experiments during the operation.¡±
Upon hearing this, Old Man Morpheus¡¯s face showed an extremely weird expression.
With a disdainful tone, he said, ¡°You count it yourself, how long has it been since you were drafted?¡±
¡°Er¡ ¡±
Link was taken aback, realizing that he had been a little boastful just now.
With various experiences, he always felt as if a long time had passed.
In fact, from the time Link was drafted and entered the Sage Palo¡¯s Army to today, it had been less than a month and a half.
It seemed, perhaps, that the speed at which he delivered the research results was a bit fast.
And the research results he had delivered were slightly heavy.
¡°That¡¯s not important.¡±
Link waved his hand, shifting the topic, ¡°The point is, will you sign it or not?¡±
¡°Sign!¡±
Old Man Morpheus said firmly, ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I sign? After signing, I¡¯ll arrange for the papers to be published, and you won¡¯t have to worry.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Link nodded in agreement.
Even in the battlefield of the Heavens¡¯ Front Line, you could still publish ¡°papers¡±.
However, with Old Man Morpheus¡¯s intervention, it would give it more weight and speed up the review process.
The co-author of these three papers was Assad Keh, which was the fruit of Link¡¯s gratitude for his care of him.
As for the hard-core results, he did not share them with Old Man Morpheus and Assad.
Back in his dormitory, Link contacted the Serene Wizard and sent the relevant information about the hard-core results.
Soon, after Serene Wizard had studied Link¡¯s ideas, the general n and corresponding data, she sent a request for a video call.
Inter-dimensional video calls are extremely expensive.
Clearly, Serene Wizard attached great importance to Link¡¯s hard-core results.
Link epted the video call.
Serene Wizard¡¯s enchantingly beautiful face appeared on the screen, she bit her lip slightly, her expression seemed a bit troubled.
She knew that the request she was about to make was a bit excessive.
However, these results were perfect.
It was as if they had been tailored specifically for a certain purpose.
A momentter, Serene Wizard made up her mind and asked, ¡°Link, can this result¡ be used for trials by Lokan?¡±
¡°Sure, it can.¡±
Link responded with a bright smile, agreeing, but also proposed a condition,
¡°Let him beg me.¡±
Chapter 345: 84: Feeling Comfortable! _1
Chapter 345: Chapter 84: Feeling Comfortable! _1
¡°This¡¡±
The Serene Wizard didn¡¯t expect Link to agree so readily, yet to set such difficult terms.
Soon, she realized that it must be Lokan who had done something excessively outrageous again, arousing the temper of this peevish little fellow on the screen.
She remembered that this little guy and Lokan had embarked on a mission together a few days ago.
Gauging Lokan¡¯s increasingly insubordinate and extreme character, she reckoned that he couldn¡¯t help butmit some sort of indiscretion.
And this little guy, if somebody pissed him off, he would retaliate.
He truly bore a grudge!
In amusement, she chided Link with her eyes, the Serene Wizard helplessly twisted her mouth slightly, repressing augh.
Her reprimand was left unspoken.
After all, it takes two to tango, and Lokan was the one at fault to begin with.
It seemed good to have somebody teach Lokan a lesson, to let him learn from it. That¡¯s rather thoughtful.
The Serene Wizard thought for a moment and decided to forget about it, toozy to intervene in Link and Lokan¡¯s mess.
Let them work it out themselves.
¡°I will convey this information to Lokan; as for what he thinks and whether he agrees or not, that¡¯s for him to decide.¡±
With these words, the Serene Wizard closed the video call with Link.
Adjusting her feelings slightly, she ensured the hint of a smile on her face was less visible, and then sent amunication request to Lokan.
¡°Serene, have you been thinking about me? Great, I¡¯ve been thinking about you too.¡±
Themunication connected almost instantly, and Lokan¡¯s voice sounded out.
Whenbined with his somewhat cheesy or, should we say, greasy words, it seemed very incongruous, giving someone an eerie feeling.
It raised goosebumps on one¡¯s skin.
¡°Don¡¯t call me sister, call me Teacher Serene. And don¡¯t talk like that, stop being slick and frivolous. Act properly.¡±
The Serene Wizard first red at Lokan¡¯s face and rebuked him, then said, ¡°I¡¯ve just discovered a potion that aids body refinement. If the data is verified and genuine, it¡¯s very suitable for you in all aspects. It¡¯s much better than the potion you¡¯re currently using, and it won¡¯t affect your soul or cognitive abilities. However, there are two problems¡¡±
Upon hearing Serene Wizard¡¯s words, Lokan¡¯s face couldn¡¯t help but reveal a look of astonishment and joy.
If not due to the drag of the potion, with his innate physical talent and numerous transnted physical talents, he could have be a Tier-3 wizard a long time ago.
The Serene Wizard¡¯s major in potion study leans more towards soul and elements, and she is not proficient in the development of potions for physical and biochemical directions.
She once attempted to develop a body refinement potion for Lokan, but due to various reasons, it was not sessful, and the research in this area was not restarted subsequently.
The good and suitable body refinement potions avable in the market around the West Coast are highly overpriced.
With Lokan¡¯s ie, he could just manage to afford it at a stretch.
However, body refinement requires more than just potions; there are many other expenses.
The treatment of hidden injuries on the body, the nourishment of the soul, protective gear¡
Each of them consumes a considerable amount of Magic Stones.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lokan decided to use a slightly cheaper but wed potion.
In this way, although it would affect his intellect and temperament, the overall development would be bnced, and no significant weakness would ur.
As a body-refining wizard, their greatest fear is to have ring weaknesses that the enemy can target.
Now there¡¯s a chance to get a body refinement potion that all aspects suit him, certified by Serene Wizard, and doesn¡¯t have side effects on the soul and mind.
Lokan couldn¡¯t help but be overjoyed.
It would surely elerate his cultivation process significantly, helping him to be a Tier-3 wizard earlier and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Serene Wizard.
Feeling inferior in status and strength, and being unable to appear alongside the Serene Wizard at official asions was indeed a bitter pill to swallow.
It hurts one¡¯s pride to perceive others¡¯ disdainful eyes as if a toad wants to eat swan meat.
¡°What two problems? Serene, just speak out. What we can ovee must be ovee, even if it can¡¯t be ovee, we have to ovee it. This potion rmended by Serene, I must use it, and that¡¯s final.¡±
Lokan pounded his chest, making a booming sound, speaking with conviction.
With the demeanor of a true gentleman, a firm stand, and a resolute decision.
He portrayed a look of utmost trust in the Serene Wizard and was determined not to go back on his words.
Holding back augh, the Serene Wizard said:
¡°The first problem is that the potion was just developed, and all the data is from theboratory. It hasn¡¯t been tested yet.
The second problem is that the potion was developed by Link Grande, he agreed to let you test it, but he wants you to beg him.¡±
Finishing her words, the Serene Wizard didn¡¯t continue to watch Lokan¡¯s face, stiff with surprise and looking like he was constipated, and then she hung up the video call.
With his nostrils ring and panting, Lokan¡¯s chest heaved violently as he gritted his teeth, clenching his fists.
The happiness he had earlier had now turned into double, if not triple, the anger.
Beg?
Beg who?
Beg Link Grande?
I, Lokan, have only begged Serene in my life, never anyone else.
Even if I ended up being a musclehead, I wouldn¡¯t beg anyone else then.
Especially not that pretty boy, Link Grande!
Good lord, he sure holds a grudge.
Was it such a big deal that I pped him once and intimidated him a bit?
He actually wants to tear off my face, throw it on the ground, and step on it.
His intentions are wicked indeed.
He is an utterly vile person!
Lokan was seething with anger.
Back at the camp, the Potion Department.
After ending themunication with the Serene Wizard, Link nced at the two well-packed final versions of the potions on the table ¨C one specifically for providing a boost and the other for enhancing all aspects. The corner of his mouth curled up to reveal a somewhat creepy smile.
Chapter 346: 84 Comfortable! _2
Chapter 346: Chapter 84 Comfortable! _2
The initial version was developed to enhance wizard qualifications, particrly in the direction of the soul.
The final version, in the process of eliminating soul-rted factors, deliberately adjusted the research direction, focusing on strengthening physical qualities rather than enhancing physical talent.
Wizard Serene was right in what she said.
The final version of the potion is actually tailor-made for Lokan by Link.
This hypothesis reflects Wizard Serene¡¯s keen senses as a talented potion development specialist.
Link is a generous person.
Lokan had shown malice towards him, but it hadn¡¯t escted to hostility or even intent to kill.
The only harm he had done to Link was a p and a threatening statement of ¡°I¡¯ll be watching you.¡±
So, Link¡¯s revenge was rtively mild, not extreme.
It didn¡¯t escte to killing.
It simply made Lokan realize that after trying Link¡¯s developed potion, he no longer wanted to continue using the problematic body-refining potion of the past.
It made the domineering and radical Lokan to humble himself and beg Link, not to cut off the potion supply.
Link knew that given Lokan¡¯s temperament, he wouldn¡¯t agree immediately upon knowing the conditions to ess the potion.
Not to worry, Link was prepared.
He tinkered with his smart brain and mailed the packaged potion sets to Wizard Serene.
The objective was to have Serene verify the potion data, and in turn, let Lokan try them.
Link was confident that once Lokan tried it, he would never want to use the problematic potion from before.
This is just like how military enthusiasts, after experiencing the J20, began to look down on the J8 despite its remarkable service record.
People naturally be tired of the old and prefer the new.
That¡¯s human nature.
Once the intelligent puppet took away the package, Link informed Wizard Serene of the news, and no longer worried about the matter.
Let the bullets fly for a while.
It¡¯s rest time now.
After being busy for so long, it¡¯s time to rx.
Having nothing to do, Link read ¡°The Struggles of the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit¡± to entertain himself.
He also pondered on the defenses of the Sea of Consciousness.
The Sea of Consciousness had been punctured twice already, as if it were made of paper.
It¡¯s time to reinforce some defense measures.
Lacking the relevant information, Link asked Assad for some materials on the soul, will, and the Sea of Consciousness from True Spirit wizards.
This was also to prepare knowledge reserves for the issue that he may encounter after practicing ¡°Water Wood Mutual Growth Meditation Method¡± Wizard Scroll again after ¡°Seed¡± swallowed Meditation Sphere.
Prepare ahead, and you won¡¯t panicter.
If you anticipate it, you will seed. If you don¡¯t, you will fail.
Three days passed leisurely for Link.
During this period, three ¡°thesis¡± were sessfully published.
Especially the third one, ¡°The Principles, ws, and Completion of Biochemical Transformation and Enhancement n to Enhance Fairy Inherent Ability,¡± even made the cover of ¡°The Heavens¡±, an academic journal of the academy.
The first author of the ¡°thesis¡±, ¡°Link Grande¡±, was presented in specially prominent font.
After the magazine was released, Morpheus ordered a few extra copies, gave two to the potion development team and the potion refinement team, and sent two to the frontline Medical Department.
The ones left in the Potion Department all had mixed feelings.
If they had not sided with the two acting team leaders who were driven out, causing Link to resign from his team leader positions.
ording to tradition, these three thesis would have listed their names as the third or fourth authors.
That would enrich their resumes and earn some precious ¡°academic points¡±.
After bing an official wizard, it¡¯s increasingly difficult to publish ¡°thesis¡±.
Morpheus didn¡¯t think that was vengeful enough.
He made a special trip to the Medical Department¡¯s base.
In front of the Medical Department¡¯s door, Morpheus fiercely ¡°praised¡± the ¡°brilliant¡± leadership of Tier 3 Wizard Polo Salossal.
He plimented¡± how a perfectly trained Potion Development Specialist and Pharmacist under Serene¡¯s leadership, instead of following a course of research and academics, turned towards scheming and deceit under Salossal¡¯s leadership.
This behaviour andment pissed off Wizard Salossal so much that he called for a duel with Morpheus, who was making rash statements relying on his experience.
Finally, it was due to the intervention of Sage Palo that this was settled.
Only then Salossal withdrew his intent for a duel without making a fuss with Morpheus.
Leaving the frontline base and returning to the rear camp, Morpheus held his head high, like a victorious general.
He was proud and lofty.
Link, through the ¡°broadcast¡± shared by Assad, watched the climax of this ¡°drama.¡±
That is, Wizard Salossal jumped up in anger and called for a duel, while Morpheus, with his thick skin, imed that he was just a Tier 2 wizard who couldn¡¯t beat Salossal, thereby directly admitting defeat.
After watching this, Link was dumbfounded.
He thought that after learning from Sage Palo, his ability to provoke people was already quite good.
But it turned out that there were masters among masters.
Morpheus actually possessed such superb provoking skills.
Admirable! Admirable!
It seemed that he had to learn from Morpheus and borrow some new moves.
It shoulde in handy when dealing with Lokanter.
Wizard World, West Coast, Ravensmouth City.
Wizard Serene looked at the two sets of potions in front of her and a potion exnation letter she had just read, speechless.
¡°That kid is sulking, and he¡¯s unstoppable, isn¡¯t he?¡±
Chapter 347: 84: Comfortable! _3
Chapter 347: Chapter 84: Comfortable! _3
The Serene Wizard had no doubt in guessing what Link was up to, she was rather speechless.
She knew very well that Link, a ¡°special guest¡±, a soul originally from another dimensional world,
but persistently referred to him asd and insisted on treating him like a real brat, there was a reason behind it.
The mysteries of the soul are inexhaustible.
The mysteries linking the physical body to the soul are also inexhaustible.
These have been the subjects of studies by our ancestors from the Wizard World.
When the soul of an ordinary person, aged about a hundred years, gets ¡°reincarnated¡± to couple with a body of eleven or twelve years old, its mentality, emotions, and thinking pattern begin to rejuvenate.
It doesn¡¯t keep decay or gloom one might associate with such old age.
So, no matter how much Link believes in his maturity, many of his actions often reveal traits of a twelve or thirteen-year-old.
Spry, impulsive, following his heart without hesitation.
This only appears mature in contrast to his typical dealings with people.
In the eyes of the Serene Wizard and Sage Palo, Link Grande is undoubtedly a brat!
After her reflection, Serene Wizard proceeded to test the two sets of potions.
The test results almost perfectly matched the descriptions on the potionbels.
This evidenced that the Body Refining potion developed by Link was perfectly suitable for Lokan Morton.
After some deep thinking, Serene Wizard decided to fulfill Link¡¯s wish: she sent a set ofprehensive enhancement potions to Lokan, enforcing him with a stern voice to give them a trial and provide feedback.
On this matter, she sided with Link.
Not to say, she was disregarding Lokan¡¯s pride.
Rather,pared to advancing, losing a bit of dignity is not that significant.
Lokan was originally at fault, and so he should pay this price.
When Lokan received the potions, he was instantly overwhelmed.
Just a few days ago he had vowed never to seek help from that pretty boy, Link Grande.
However, his beloved Sister Serene sent him the Body Refining potion developed by that pretty boy.
If he wasn¡¯t jealous of the pretty boy¡¯s innate talent for Potion Study, his favorable treatment by Sister Serene- the close rtionships and praises, would he have taken advantage of the boy and broken his arm?
Would he have tarnished the pretty boy¡¯s image by terrorizing and threatening him?
No!
So, Lokan was very clear that the Body Refining potion developed by Link Grande would surely suit him exceedingly well.
But the clearer he was, the less he could use.
If he started, he probably would not be able to stop.
For a Body-refining wizard, the body¡¯s reaction never lies.
If he could get a better and more suitable potion at a rtively low cost.
Even if he was not willing, his body would resist.
There are pros and cons to everything in this world.
Looking at the seven potions in his hand, Lokan could already foresee the day of his utter humiliation.
¡°Damn it!¡±
After harshly cursing, Lokan touched his bald head, wishing he could bash the cunning pretty boy.
Sadly, he couldn¡¯t.
Lokan had no choice but to ept the trial of these potions.
A set of seven vials, one vial per day.
Seven days passed quickly.
And soon, the set of potions was used uppletely.
Lokan didn¡¯t know how to express his feelings.
Just judging by the effectiveness of the potion, it was undoubtedly, exceedingly good.
Butbining it with the condition that he has to assure a constant supply of potions, it was undoubtedly, exceedingly humiliating.
While figuring out how to get past this, Serene Wizard sent a videomunication request.
After hesitating for a while, Lokan didn¡¯t ept it instantly, as he used to.
¡°Don¡¯t want to ask for help?¡±
Serene Wizard asked directly in a cold tone, ¡°Can¡¯t let go of your pride?¡±
Lokan had no words to say.
¡°Sort it yourself then.¡±
After dropping that line, Serene Wizard ended themunication.
Damn!
Lokan cursed out loud.
In this state of unwillingness to strive, it would have been better if he hadshed out some harsh words.
Left with no other choice, to not damage his image in front of Sister Serene, Lokan reluctantly and slowly made his way to the Rear Camp, to the Potion Department.
He located Link in an experimentalboratory that had been open for a short while.
I¡¡±
Despite stuttering for a long time, Lokan couldn¡¯t utter a singleplete sentence.
Link just smiled at him, gesturing towards a box prepared to one side, filled with potions enough for two months use, and said casually:
¡°No need for more words, take it.¡±
All Link wanted was for Lokan to take a blow to his pride.
It was okay to take the potions, soft words were not necessary.
After this event, would Lokan be able to stand his ground in front of Link?
Impossible!
The goal has been achieved, let¡¯s leave it at that and quit while ahead.
Don¡¯t overdo it!
Chapter 348: 85: The abacus clacks loudly, the old man loves to cause a scene_1
Chapter 348: Chapter 85: The abacus cks loudly, the old man loves to cause a scene_1
¡°I have only one condition.¡±
Ignoring Lokan¡¯splicated expression, Link said, ¡°You can use it for free, but you must provide feedback on its effects. If you have any suggestions or opinions, feel free to share.¡±
His tone was calm and the request was purely reasonable for a researcher,pletely doing it by the book.
Not a hint of trying to take advantage of Lokan¡¯s predicament out of personal grudges.
He appeared very generous.
¡°Hmmm.¡±
Lokan grunted in response, picked up the box holding the potion, and walked away.
Every second he stayed here, was another second of torture.
Often, being ignored feels worse than being despised.
To a wild and unruly man like Lokan, Link¡¯s disy of generosity was worse than seizing the opportunity to rub salt in his wounds.
Lokan could assure that he would not retaliate on the spot.
Link could say whatever he wished.
He would not lose his cool.
However, Link¡¯s ¡°generosity¡±, no insults, no damage, and no difficulties, instead left Lokan incredibly embarrassed.
It felt like a bone was stuck in his throat, causing unbearable difort.
From now on, if he were to target this fair-faced man, it would seem unreasonable.
After all, he had already shown such generosity, what more did he want?
If he continued to target him, how could he exin to Sister Serene?
This man was really sinister.
Such a despicable scoundrel!
Lokan gritted his teeth in hate but felt helpless.
He could only vent his anger by stomping more loudly as he walked away.
Boom, boom, boom, boom¡
His heavy footsteps echoed down the corridor, causing the whole dormitory building to tremble slightly.
Dust fell from many rooms, causing a round of cursing.
Lokan sneered and roared, ¡°Shut up! If you have the guts, face me one-on-one!¡±
The explosive aura and the pressure of a Senior Second-Level Wizard spread out at the same time.
In an instant, no one dared to make a sound anymore.
If they cannot fight him, can they not avoid him?
After such a round of venting, Lokan felt slightly less frustrated.
Link watched Lokan¡¯s retreating figure with a meaningful smile on his lips.
Was this augh that covered all past indignation?
If Lokan is willing to let go of his inexplicable malice and no longer target Link.
Link is willing to reconcile and not hold a grudge or seek revenge.
What¡¯s wrong withughing and letting the past go?
The main purpose of doing this, aside from snubbing Lokan, was to obtain the trial feedback and relevant data for this body refining potion.
Thus, Link could better optimize this refining potion and prepare for furtherrge-scale trials.
Only after several rounds of trials, feedback, and optimization, could he obtain the final version of the body refining potion best suited for promotion.
Although the final version is quite different from the original version Link wanted, it still had reference value.
Subsequently, once Link¡¯s understanding of the soul improves, he could use these data to improve the original version of the potion;
Or based on the original version of the potion, develop a new potion that can significantly improve wizard qualifications.
If he really achieves this, he could make a fortune, and it could also serve as a ¡°benefit¡± for the core members of his own power.
We¡¯ll see what happens then.
After Lokan left, Link returned to his leisurely daily routine.
The work in the Potion Department at the rear didn¡¯t require Link¡¯s involvement.
Link didn¡¯t want to get involved either, toozy to deal with those troubles.
Keeping out of trouble was the most peaceful way.
The ¡°Seed¡± has not yet fully absorbed the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit, and it will take some time.
It¡¯s not convenient to find out the problems that wille with practicing the ¡°Water Wood Mutual Growth Meditation Method¡± based on the ¡°Seed¡±.
So, he would wait for Lokan¡¯s daily usage feedback while focusing on studying the soul-rted materials he got from Assad.
Unfortunately, the good times didn¡¯tst.
Just three days into his leisurely life, a notice from the front-linemand post broke Link¡¯s peace.
Sage Palo officially summoned Link through official channels.
This meant that the summon was for official business of the legion, not a matter of personal affairs.
Link didn¡¯t dare neglect this summons, he reported to Old Morpheus, tidied himself up, and immediately set out for the forward base in the Fairy World.
After several rounds of strict inspections andmutations, Link finally entered the tent where Sage Palo was.
¡°Sit.¡±
This time, Sage Palo wasn¡¯t standing in front of the holographic topographic map, instead, he sat in a chair with a smart-brain in hand, apparently reading some report.
As Link entered, without raising his head, Sage Palo casually motioned Link to sit in the chair opposite him.
¡°Thank you, Sage Palo.¡±
Link politely thanked and sat upright.
In front of the big shots, one must behave properly and show respect to the big shots.
Being arrogant is not good.
¡°You handled the matter with Lokan Morton very well.¡±
Sage Palo didn¡¯t talk about the main matter directly, but started the topic with Lokan Morton, ¡°We are on the same side. If we can¡¯t be friends, at least we shouldn¡¯t be enemies. It¡¯s always better to resolve conflict when it¡¯s minor than to let it escte into hatred.¡±
¡°Yes, I think so too.¡±
With the top brass stating their stance, what else could Link say?
Not to mention, Link himself had the idea to resolve the conflict, if they couldn¡¯t get along amicably, at least they could avoid targeting each other.
Even if he didn¡¯t, he should have the idea after the meeting was over.
The will of the top brass must be implemented!
¡°Hmm.¡±
Sage Palo seemed satisfied with Link¡¯s response, finally raised his head and looked at Link, saying:
Chapter 349: 85: The abacus clacks loudly, the old man loves to cause a scene_2
Chapter 349: Chapter 85: The abacus cks loudly, the old man loves to cause a scene_2
¡°I brought you here today to discuss an official matter.
The three ¡®papers¡¯ you published in ¡°The Heavens¡± magazine, especially the third one, are of certain significance for the legion¡¯s development of the Fairy World, and can provide considerable assistance.
The legion wants to obtain the rights to use the rted achievements and discuss the authorization with you.¡±
¡°No problem, as long as I can help the legion, and help you, I should do all I can.¡±
Link politely agrees, not even wanting to delve into specific discussions about authorization with Sage Palo.
Especially not haggling about the specific costs.
He conveys an attitude of fullpliance, iming that he wouldn¡¯t say no.
Does this small matter require Sage Palo to intervene personally?
An appearance from an ordinary second-level wizard to liaise with Link would already be showing great respect.
Perhaps, in consideration of old man Morpheus, a department head or a deputy coulde to negotiate.
For Sage Palo to take the initiative, the respect shown is far too great, it¡¯s like reaching heaven.
He should promptly agree. There really is nothing to hesitate about.
¡°Good, it¡¯s good that you have this awareness. The legion won¡¯t let you go unpaid, the costs will be set ording to the regr procedures.¡±
A smile appears on Sage Palo¡¯s face, appreciating and satisfied with Link¡¯s usual understanding.
Of course, he won¡¯t let Link suffer. He will even give extrapensation and rewards.
After all, he is one of us, there should definitely be some support.
Then, Sage Palo mentioned the real reason for calling Link:
¡°The remnant Rainforest Fairies caused a disturbance yesterday, corrupting about 60,000 fairies.
The medical department is short-staffed and urgently needs to use your perfected n.
Salossal proposed to me that he wants to borrow you for assistance.
What do you think?¡±
This is a serious matter, it involves not only personal matters but also the rtionship between departments.
Unlike before, Link didn¡¯t immediately agree, he thought for a bit, and then tentatively asked, ¡°Does Minister Morpheus know about this? What is his attitude?¡±
¡°He knows and his attitude is for you to decide.¡±
Sage Palo replied with a smile.
¡°Hmm¡¡±
After pondering for a while, Link said seriously, ¡°If possible, I don¡¯t want to go there as an individual but on behalf of the Potion Department, to assist the Medical Department in dealing with this incident.¡±
¡°Hehehe¡¡±
Hearing Link¡¯s words, Sage Palo suddenlyughed heartily. He pointed a finger at Link yfully and said, ¡°You sure love the spotlight.¡±
¡°Do I?¡±
Scratching his head, Link looked puzzled, a picture of innocence and bluntness, as if he had no idea what Sage Palo was talking about.
His expression and demeanor were so guileless and honest.
As if he didn¡¯t have a bad bone in his body.
He was a pure white lotus.
Still, Link was a magnanimous person.
He didn¡¯t hold a grudge against Lokan for his bullying, did he?
How could he possibly take advantage of this situation to intentionally retaliate just because Wizard Polo Salossal, the head of the medicine department, specified that Lokan Morton should join the special squadron? It was petty, wasn¡¯t it?
With these thoughts, Link was further convinced of his idea and emphasized:
¡°Minister Morpheus has been kind to me, and I should at least do something for the Potion Department, for Minister Morpheus. This is how I justify my position and my sry.¡±
¡°Hmmm¡¡±
Sage Paloughed to himself, epting Link¡¯s request and instructed him, ¡°Keep things in proportion, don¡¯t overdo it, and don¡¯t let it get out of control likest time!¡±
¡°We won¡¯t, definitely won¡¯t. We dare not give Sage Palo any trouble.¡±
Link repeatedly promised, expressing his stance.
¡°Hm.¡±
Sage Palo nodded, epting Link¡¯s stance. Then smoothly changing the topic, he asked, ¡°The conscription period is at most four months, and it¡¯s almost halfway through. What are your ns? Do you want to continue to stay with the legion to fight, or return to your homnd to continue studying?¡±
Link tentatively asked, ¡°Does the legion have a battle mission scheduled in the near future?¡±
Sage Palo smiled, not giving a direct answer.
Link realized at once.
No answer was an answer.
The academy did not arrange any immediate battle missions for the Sage Palo army, but Sage Palo could mobilize the legion for voluntary battle in the Heavens.
Link thought of the Abyss Demon mentioned by Assad.
From the smoothly concluded war, it could be inferred that the Abyss Demon that the Fairy King¡¯s Court asked for help must have been dealt with by Sage Palo.
Most likely, it was captured instead of annihted.
ording to many precedents in the Wizard World for dealing with captured Abyss Demons,
If Sage Palo does not use this Abyss Demon to set a trap to hook in all the lower Abyss Demons from the Abyss World that are extremely suitable as ¡°fertilizer,¡± he would beughed to death by his peers.
Such a great opportunity, it would be a pity to waste it.
So, Sage Palo is asking Link whether he wants to continue participating in this ¡°fishing operation¡±.
If he wants to participate, he must find a way to extend the period of conscription.
The legion could not possibly adjust the battle n and timing for Link alone.
Especially the Abyss World is a super civilization world at the same level as the Wizard World and the World of God, it is not so easy to deal with.
Restraining demons as a wizard is not something achievable by everyone, it also requires full preparation.
Spending two months training the army, formting battle ns, reserving battle supplies and arranging battle venues is by no means an exaggeration.
On the contrary, it¡¯s somewhat tight for time.
¡°I feel that my current strength is stillcking. When the conscription period is due, I will stop following thebat of the troop, and return to my homnd for further study.¡±
After thinking carefully, Link chose to decline and sincerely said, ¡°I wish Sage Palo a sessful campaign and renown in the Heavens!¡±
There are several things he hasn¡¯t finished yet.
Especially the adjustment of the Meditation Technique, which will definitely require a lot of time and energy.
Continuing to follow the army inbat is not the best choice.
¡°Hmm.¡±
Sage Palo did not be angry because of Link¡¯s decision.
Whether to follow inbat or to return to study, both are ways of growth.
It¡¯s not clear which is better.
¡°Peter and Zoran are no longer in their homnd, you can return in two months, just be a little more vignt, there should be no problem.¡±
Sage Palo reminded and waved his hand, ¡°There¡¯s nothing else, you may leave.¡±
¡°Thank you, Wizard Palo.¡±
Link respectfully saluted, and then stepped out of the tent.
Without stopping, he made his way to the portal and returned from the lush Fairy World to the deste Deste World.
Old Morpheus was actually waiting outside the portal.
It looked like he had been waiting for a while.
¡°Minister.¡±
Link overcame the difort caused by teleporting multiple times in a short period of time, steadied himself, and greeted.
¡°What did you say?¡±
Old Morpheus asked directly, ¡°Do you agree to the transfer?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Link shook his head, ¡°I requested from Sage Palo, on behalf of the Potion Department, to assist the Medical Department in handling this event.¡±
¡°Ha!¡±
Old Morpheus¡¯s face which was full of scars suddenly broke into a twisted smile and he grinned, ¡°I didn¡¯t raise you in vain.¡±
Upon hearing this, Link shuddered and retreated constantly.
He almost retreated into the portal again.
No ying favorites!
¡°You little rascal!¡±
Old Morpheus was angered by Link¡¯s undisguised aversion. He patted Link¡¯s shoulder heavily in an attempt to vent his anger.
He then turned around first: ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go back and n carefully on how to make things prettier than the Medical Department and annoy that guy Salossal again.¡±
Link caught up with him, twitched his mouth and reminded, ¡°Sage Palo specifically asked you to measure your actions and not to go too far.¡±
Old Morpheus paused as he was about to get into the hover car, then said somewhat sheepishly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll pay attention.¡±
Link didn¡¯t say anything else and just sat quietly in the car.
The message has been conveyed. How to do it depends on Old Morpheus himself.
Who knows what kind of grudge exists between Old Morpheus and Wizard Salossal.
He won¡¯t let go of it, and ps him in the face over and over again.
The hover car is silent.
Until they returned to the Potion Department, both of them were lost in their own thoughts and didn¡¯t talk to each other at all.
As soon as they got off the car and entered the building, they went straight to the Minister¡¯s office.
Just after they sat down, the order to send the Potion Department to assist the Medical Department at the front line had been issued.
The sooner the better.
Old Morpheus immediately took action, pulling together the core power and forming a team for ¡°assisting¡± the Medical Department.
The captain of the support team was, of course, Old Morpheus himself.
There were two vice captains, the heads of the R&D and the preparation groups.
Link was given the title of special consultant to the captain, but his authority was higher than that of the two vice captains.
After assembling everyone, and looking at the teamposed of eight potion development specialists and pharmacists in front of him,
Old Morpheus was full of spirit, he didn¡¯t say much, he just waved his hand:
¡°Come, follow me to crash the Medical Department¡¯s spot!¡±
Chapter 350: 86, Knocking on the Big Bamboo Stick_1
Chapter 350: Chapter 86, Knocking on the Big Bamboo Stick_1
Link was speechless.
Could he be any more straightforward?
Couldn¡¯t he at least say something to encourage morale or inspire people?
And your team is mostly medical department staff that you fooled into joining, right?
They¡¯re still technically part of the Medical Department.
He¡¯s using employees of the medical department to undermine the department itself.
How could he even think of that?
Not just Link, everyone was speechless.
The five potion developers and potion masters from the Medical Department, including the two team leaders, had indescribable expressions on their faces.
What the hell was that announcement?
How could it be so shocking?!
But old Morpheus didn¡¯t care, he disregarded everyone¡¯s reactions.
He took the team and supplies, and with grandeur and high spirits, headed to the front line.
After some transportation, the potion department assistance group sessfully arrived at the camp hosting over 60,000 contaminated fairies in the fairy world.
The Five-n Coalition Government made significant efforts to maintain order in the camps.
Soldiers at the site enforced an orderly queue and prevented chaos.
Fearing the citizens causing trouble and annoying this group of intimidating wizards.
If they ended up inciting another oppressive crackdown and a breakout of killing, everything would be ruined.
No fairy would dare to take the me when faulted.
When Potion Department¡¯s assistance group arrived at the Wizards¡¯ temporary camp, they found the medical department¡¯s potion makers and pharmacists extremely busy.
Tons of raw materials constantly flowed in like water.
Barrels of potion base flowed out continuously like water.
They¡¯d then dump it into a vat the size of a building for dilution. After, it¡¯d be piped to lines of long queues.
Each contaminated fairy, in turn, would receive a big cup to drink on the spot, not permitted to take with them.
This was to prevent the fairies who were parents from preserving their share for their children.
Morpheus assigned eight potion department employees to help out on the medical department¡¯s potion production line, and then went to discuss matters with Salossal.
Meanwhile, Link observed the contaminated fairies.
Based on their pupils and physical appearance, the deviation symptoms disyed by the contaminated fairies weren¡¯t very obvious, and the rate of deviation was slow.
Apparently, the remnants of the fairy royal n didn¡¯t take much of the finished products from the ¡°Biological Factory¡±.
Only after dilution could it affect over 60,000 fairies.
The treatment the Medical Department was producing at full force aimed to halt the deviation process and replenish some vitality, addressing the symptoms and root problems.
The only w was that it couldn¡¯t revert any physical or facial changes that had urred due to the contamination.
Having roughly understood the situation, Link was puzzled. The Medical Department could have handled the current situation alone.
It would have just taken a bit more time.
Wizard Salossal didn¡¯t need to borrow Link from Sage Palo.
Could there be changes that Link hadn¡¯t discovered?
Just then, old Morpheus was motioning Link over.
¡°Minister Morpheus, do you need something?¡±
Link went over and asked first, then greeted Salossal, ¡°Hello, Minister Salossal, I¡¯m Link Grande.¡±
¡°I know who you are.¡±
Salossal spoke first in a low voice, ¡°You¡¯re the genius potion master who¡¯s shamed my medical department time and time again. It¡¯s no wonder even the Serene Wizard admitted he¡¯s no match for you!¡±
Morpheus countered immediately: ¡°The shame is due to your ipetency. Who else can you me?¡±
After rebutting, Morpheus ignored the grim face of Salossal and told Link.
¡°The Medical Department called for you because a fairy of significant status has also been contaminated.
This fairy is quite crucial to our public influence and pacification measures, so it would be best if we could restore his appearance.¡±
The treatments proposed by the Medical Department fall short. They aren¡¯t perfect.
So, they want to see if the renowned genius, you, who knows fairies so well, have any bright ideas.
Don¡¯t worry about what the Medical Department is spouting. Weigh it yourself and see if you can do it.
If not, we¡¯ll pack up and leave.¡±
Upon hearing this, Link fell into deep thought.
Morpheus¡¯ words concealed alternative meanings, but the surface meaning was clear.
This was a tricky task where failure might lead to me, and sess wouldn¡¯t earn much credit.
The Medical Department was intentionally praising you, inting your ego, and making youcent. And then they¡¯d pass this tricky task onto you.
If you seed, then you seed. It doesn¡¯t matter.
But if you don¡¯t, they¡¯d start the mockery.
Who told you to attract so much attention and incite jealousy.
¡°Where is this fairy? Let¡¯s look at the situation first.¡±
Link¡¯s research on enhancing and perfecting the biochemical modifications from the very beginning prevented any physical deformation.
He had never seriously studied reversing physical deformation.
So he was quite interested in this sudden task.
It was a challenge, albeit not too big or small.
¡°Over here.¡±
Wizard Salossal personally led Morpheus and Link.
They arrived at a makeshift surgery setup at the back of the camp.
Inside, a fairy with a significant degree of deformationy unconscious on the operating table.
Only one wizard was there, observing the fairy¡¯s vital signs.
Salossal, Morpheus, and Link each went through sterilization procedures and entered the operating room.
¡°May I examine it?¡±
After observing some of the fairy¡¯s characteristics and the data on the nearby medical instruments, Link asked, in a soft voice.
Chapter 351: 86, Knocking on the Big Bamboo Stick_2
Chapter 351: Chapter 86, Knocking on the Big Bamboo Stick_2
¡°Of course.¡±
Wizard Salossal nodded in agreement.
Given the permission, Link immediately started to perform a physical examination on the fairy. He then utilized the equipment in the operating room to conduct some targeted tests that could yield quick results.
While waiting for the test results, after the Intelligent Puppet had prepared the fairy¡¯s skin, Link directly took up the scalpel and made an incision at the liver area of the fairy.
Having conducted no less than 50 fairy autopsies, Link inherently knew that the most intuitive and conspicuous method to determine if a fairy had mutated, and to what extent, was to investigate the liver.
On the premise of not harming the structure and function of the liver, Link carefully examined the fairy¡¯s liver.
He rified the degree of the fairy¡¯s mutation.
Link ced the liver back in, sutured it, sealed the abdomen, then cast a first ring water system Healing Technique. Instantly, the incision healed itself, perfectly smooth as before.
It was just that the half scale that had to be cut off would need time to regrow.
Of course, this was just a minor detail, and did not matter.
Link believed that the fairy on the operating table would not mind it either.
Thereafter, Link fell into deep thought.
As soon as the test results came out, he examined them immediately.
After some deliberation, Link knew his next steps.
This surgery could be done, and this matter could be handled.
Link signaled Morpheus through a look and the two of them moved to a corner of the operation room. In front of Wizard Salossal, they began to conspire and confer.
What could be the only aspect that was not too excessive, or you might even say was more excessive, was that Morpheus actually activated a Rune barrier to prevent eavesdropping.
Hum¡
The facial expression of Wizard Salossal instantly becameplicated.
It was not pleasant.
¡°What is it?¡±
Morpheuspletely ignored Wizard Salossal¡¯s resentment. He looked at Link and asked out of concern.
Link¡¯s answer would determine whether or not Morpheus could, once again, insult Wizard Salossal or if anything could be ¡°ckmailed¡± out of him.
Having organized his statement, Link said, ¡°I have more than 95% confidence that I can modify the mutation into being a part of aplete biological enhancement. The outer appearance of the part that has already mutated can be restored, but it might not necessarily be perfect.¡±
¡°How much can be restored?¡±
Morpheustched onto the point and pressed.
¡°About 80% I suppose, there will certainly be some ws,¡± Link answered. ¡°From the outside appearance, some traces may still be visible. If not, we can consider stic surgery.¡±
¡°stic surgery? Hmm¡¡±
Morpheus mused for a while, ¡°that¡¯s not impossible, but itcks technical substance. Is there any other method?¡±
¡°There is. I can try to reverse the mutation process. This would slightly weaken some bodily functions, but it will aid the restoration and handling of external appearances more effectively. I should be able to achieve more than 95% restoration.¡±
Link added.
Subsequently, the two exchanged a knowing look, understanding each other¡¯s intentions.
Link was quite eager to seize this opportunity to verify his newly conceived n of reversing mutations.
Morpheus was keen to ruin the scene, insult, or ckmail.
The two were in perfect alignment.
Link remained where he was.
Morpheus dismissed the Rune barrier with a psychopathic grin stered on his face, like a wolf ready to devour, as he walked towards Wizard Salossal.
¡°What evil n are you cooking up now?¡±
Wizard Salossal immediately got on the alert, asking in a cold tone.
¡°How can it be an evil n?¡±
Morpheus grumbled and said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m here to negotiate with you patiently and kindly.¡±
¡°Negotiate what?¡±
Wizard Salossal didn¡¯t believe his bullshit for a single moment.
With a stern and cold gaze, he looked abhorrent.
Morpheus rubbed his hands together andughed:
¡°You see, many people say that we Wizards advocate equivalent exchange.
Therefore, my Potion Department cannot be helping your Medical Department out for free, right?
Eight of my subordinates have already gone to concoct potions for free, which could be seen as a gift.
However, this bothersome surgery, you can¡¯t possibly not be willing to give anything in return, right?.
You are, after all, the head of the Medical Department and a Tier 3 wizard, a person of importance. Surely you wouldn¡¯t skimp on Link¡¯sbor fees, right?¡±
¡°Hmph!¡±
Wizard Salossal snorted indignantly, ¡°Am I petty? I will give thebor fee myself. It has nothing to do with you or the Potion Department. Don¡¯t think you can ckmail anything else from me. I have not settled the score with you aboutst time when two perfectly good Pharmacists were embarrassed by you.¡±
¡°Hehehe¡¡±
Morpheus chuckled mischievously, ¡°Link is the head of my Potion Department research group, and I am the head of Potion Department. His affairs are naturally rted to me and the Potion Department. Anyway, I already got Link¡¯splete authorization to deal this matter in its entirety.¡±
¡°Impossible! I don¡¯t agree!¡±
Wizard Salossal¡¯s eyes widened in fury, loudly protesting. ¡°You, old Morpheus, stop messing around. The Front Line Command Post has called your Potion Department for assistance, not the other way around.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
Morpheus gave a sinister smile. He turned and headed out of the operating room while motioning to Link, ¡°Let¡¯s go¨Cthe Medical Department doesn¡¯t need us to be in their way.¡±
Link gave Wizard Salossal an apologetic smile and followed Morpheus out.
Morpheus dared to do this and raise his stance so presumptuously, knowing well enough that Salossal would not dare to turn against him immediately.
The people in the Medical Department, including Wizard Salossal, simply were not talented. They were merely hardworking ¡°craftsmen¡± cultivated under the ¡°indoctrinating¡± education of the Serene Wizard.
Chapter 352: 86, Knocking on the Big Bamboo Stick_3
Chapter 352: Chapter 86, Knocking on the Big Bamboo Stick_3
Potion making might work, that¡¯s possible.
Managing the potion development, forget about a year, even in two years, three years or four years, can they produce a potion up to the same standard as the ¡°Super Brain¡±?
No, they can¡¯t!
Their thinking has be rigid and their aptitude for potion studies is insufficient.
They won¡¯t be able to handle this fairy¡¯s case.
Eventually, wouldn¡¯t they have toe to Link, to the Potion Department?
Old Morpheus is full of confidence that this time he will surely enjoy the benefits.
At the operating room.
Wizard Salossal¡¯s face changed like a sunny to cloudy day, exuding a cold vibe as if he were the abyss itself.
The pharmacists from the Medical Department, standing at the side, didn¡¯t dare take a breath.
They wished they could dig a hole and bury themselves inside.
To avoid bing a channel for releasing anger.
¡°Come back!¡±
Wizard Salossal suddenly barked, stopping old Morpheus and Link who were on their way out of the operating room. ¡°Say your terms, but don¡¯t be outrageous. Worstes to worst, I step down from this department head position and vent out my anger on you properly.¡±
Old Morpheus winked at Link, looking triumphant. Then heposed his expression, turning to Salossal:
¡°I don¡¯t want much, just add some experimental equipment to the Potion Department funded by the Medical Department¡¯s budget.
You personally give Link a Magic Tool, nothing else, just a vehicle type.
The little fellow doesn¡¯t have his own fancy car yet, and it¡¯s hard to endure.¡±
Salossal, puffing and ring for a while, pointed aimlessly at old Morpheus, reluctantly agreed.
¡°Go on then, do your job well. Polo is a man of his word, he said he would give a vehicle-type magic tool, it won¡¯t be below the standard of a Second Ring item otherwise it would be a disgrace.¡±
Old Morpheus again made sarcastic remarks about Wizard Salossal, and by implication, touted Salossal.
It enraged the already irritated Wizard Salossal even further.
Link, holding back hisughter, walked to the operating table.
After carefully inspecting it again, Link started working.
First, he worked on the deformed parts of the fairy, shaving parts that couldn¡¯t be left and fixing the parts that could be left.
Under the effects of the First Ring Healing Technique for Water System and the Life Recovery for Wood System, the surgery wounds were promptly stopped from bleeding and started healing.
Neither did it leave scars nor affect the appearance.
After the shaving and fixing, he moved on to the second stage of the surgery, vitality supplementation.
Link didn¡¯t specially brew a potion of high specificity and used universal vitality supplementation potion avable in the operating room instead.
He used two bottles, one for intravenous infusion and the other sprinkled on the parts with serious deformities.
After that, Link went to the smallpartment of the operating room, where he asked the alchemist from the Medical Department to prepare some materials and arge bucket.
His simple but solid groundworks of potion brewing held the alchemist from the Medical Department spellbound.
The simpler and more basic the process, the better the understanding of potion study and Alchemy Pharmacy.
No wonder this young one could possess such profound knowledge of Potions at such a young age.
Less than a year into potion study and he¡¯s alreadyunched the widely popr ¡®Super Brain¡¯ potion.
Admiration, Envy!
Link poured the potion into therge bucket filled with warm water, and then the intelligent puppet sent the warmed bucket to the operating room and ced the fairy in the bucket.
Medicinal bathing, a rtively mild form of treatment.
Together with some pain reducing techniques and vitality supplementing techniques, the fairy whose severely deformed parts have been removed quickly reversed the process of deformation.
Its appearance and looks were slowly turning back to that of a normal fairy.
¡°Give us the money!¡±
Seeing this, old Morpheus knew it was time and directly gestured to Salossal, asking to be paid.
Salossal didn¡¯t expect old Morpheus to be so shameless.
Did he seem like the kind of person who would back out on his word?
Annoyed, he pulled out a brand new third Ring Magic Tool from his pocket, originally customized for himself as a new vehicle, and threw it to old Morpheus saying, ¡°This is for little Link. I don¡¯t mind giving this. But if you think your Potion Department could embezzle my Medical Department¡¯s funds, you¡¯re sorely mistaken!¡±
Leaving these words, Salossal walked away hurriedly.
He, Salossal, would never pay this bill.
No one could change that!
Chapter 353: 87 Renowned Sentiment always meet Indifference_1
Chapter 353: Chapter 87 Renowned Sentiment always meet Indifference_1
¡®Hehehe¡¡¯
Old man Morpheus had anticipated this andughed, not pursuing him.
Doing so would seem too intimidating andpletely uncalled for.
Does the Potion Departmentck the funds of the Medical Department for purchasing equipment?
Nope!
It¡¯s just a trick to chat up the price indeed.
Being able to trick Link into getting a Third Ring Magic Tool standard transportation magic tool is already very remarkable.
The old man gets to vent, the youngster benefits, everyone¡¯s satisfied.
Only Wizard Salossal suffers a loss.
Perfect indeed.
¡°Here, keep it.¡±
Old man Morpheus walked over to Link, stuffed the miniaturized transportation vehicle into Link¡¯s pocket and said:
¡°This is a vehicle specially customized by old man Polo, it¡¯s a great item ¡ª it¡¯s fast, can turn invisible, packed with firepower, resistant to beating, not to mention it can transform into a flight mode. The only downside is that it uses a lot of Magic Stones.
But you,d, shouldn¡¯t be short on Magic Stones. With all those ¡®patents¡¯ getting you dividends and the legion about to grant you rewards, you¡¯re a small tycoon.
With all the gold you¡¯ll be raking in from continually researching new potions, are you scared of this bit of consumption?
What a joke!¡±
The small box fell into the pocket of the ¡°Defender 3202¡± upper jacket, barely weighing anything.
The shrinkage of the equipment means only the size was reduced, not the weight.
However, the special little box containing the miniaturized vehicle managed to negate the weight of the equipment.
This meant that all Link had to bear was the gravitational influence of the little box itself.
No need to lug around the weight of the equipment.
What a wonder of alchemical creation!
Link sincerely thanked him: ¡°Thank you, Minister Morpheus.¡±
He was originally thinking of saving up some magic stones over time to purchase a Second Ring Magic Tool stature vehicle for traveling, and also to put on a show.
Not having your transportation vehicle could indeed be a bit of a hassle when going out.
Taking the 11th bus every day, or using the official vehicle, did fall a bit short of the dignity of an official wizard.
He didn¡¯t mind it himself, but other official wizards didn¡¯t see it in a good light.
Take the representative of the good leader, old man Morpheus, for example.
He disapproved of Link needing to call in a flying car from the logistics department every time he went out.
As a result, the disapproving old man Morpheus grumbled around, and incredibly obtained a Third Ring Magic Tool stature vehicle for Link.
It was even a privately customized model, with extremely high cost and powerful functions.
Please pardon Link for hisck of knowledge in this area.
He could onlypare it with the four off-road vehicles of the special squadron that could transform into ¡°Invisible Fighters.¡±
Even though he hadn¡¯t tried it yet, but listening to old man Morpheus introduce it so solemnly, it wouldn¡¯t be any worse than those four from the special squadron, right?
In this way, Link could count himself as a car owner.
And it is a luxurious vehicle amongst luxurious vehicles at that.
Once he returns to the maind in two months and gets a hold of a property, he will be a high-quality male wizard with both a car and a house.
He could barely touch the fringes of the fringes of high society.
It¡¯s a pity he¡¯s not old enough, or else he could marry a tender and delicate wife, fulfilling a regret from his past life. (¨s¡õ¨t)
(Ah¡ Poor single dog.)
At this time, the fairy who was soaking in the tub woke up due to a great deal of vitality replenishment.
The fairy forced his eyes open, rolled his eyes around to survey the surrounding environment.
Noticing that he was in a clean and bright room, surrounded by three cold and austere wizards wearing white coats, masks, and protective goggles, he couldn¡¯t help but shiver in fear.
As a fairy upying a key position in the Five-tribe Public Office Government, he knew that even after the war, there were still a group of ¡± extremely guilty¡±rades being sent to unspeakable ces to undergo unspeakable experiments, leading to an unspeakable ending.
The fairy didn¡¯t want to be one of those consumables.
He still has great things to aspire to in the future.
¡°Don¡¯t be nervous.¡±
Link noticed the fairy¡¯s abnormality andforted him, ¡°You have been contaminated and mutated, we are treating you.¡±
The intelligent puppet nearby immediately tranted it into the universalnguage of the Fairy World.
¡°Mmm mmm.¡±
The fairy nodded repeatedly, his body trembling continuously.
Can he not be nervous just because they said so?
This is a situation where he feels like he could be disassembled at any moment.
Seeing this, Link didn¡¯t say anything else. He finished up the treatment and left the operating room with Old man Morpheus.
Wizard Salossal left.
The pharmacist from the Medical Department is still here though, he can handle it.
If he can¡¯t do innovative work, can¡¯t do technical work well, and can¡¯t even do the job offorting fairies, he might as well bang his head against a rock and die.
He¡¯s a First Level Wizard after all.
No matter how ipetent he is, how bad could he get?
On leaving theboratory, Old man Morpheus looked at the dense crowd of fairies in the distance and suddenly asked: ¡°Do you know why Salossal insisted on asking you to handle this matter?¡±
Link shook his head.
He really didn¡¯t know the reason.
Old man Morpheus didn¡¯t beat around the bush and went straight to the point:
¡°Because Salossal was the first student that Serene Wizard epted.
He had sufficient qualifications, sufficient level, and even though his academic ability in Potion Study and Alchemy Pharmacy were not enough, he still became the eldest disciple of Serene Wizard¡¯s faction, managing the students on Serene Wizard¡¯s behalf.¡±
After a pause, Old man Morpheus gazed at the distant horizon, as if he saw the distant past, and sighed with deep emotion:
¡°I was the second student that Serene Wizard epted, but unfortunately, my talent fell even shorterpared to Salossal¡¯s.
Not only was Igging in wizard level, my performances in Potion Study and Alchemy Pharmacy were aplete disaster.
We all hoped that a gifted little disciple woulde forth to assist Serene Wizard in climbing towards bing a Master Potion Maker!¡±
Chapter 354: 87 Renowned Sentiment always meet Indifference_2
Chapter 354: Chapter 87 Renowned Sentiment always meet Indifference_2
Morpheus turned his gaze toward Link, asking seriously, ¡°You won¡¯t let us down, will you?¡±
Link was somewhat puzzled after hearing these words.
Given the current situation, there was no point in hiding anything, so he asked:
¡°Serene Wizard has already developed ¡®Regret¡¯, a potion that is enough to be engraved in history. ording to many people¡¯s evaluations, as long as one ascends to be a sage, it is enough to be crowned with the title ¡®Master Potion Maker¡¯.
So why do you say there is a need?¡±
Morpheus chuckled, saying, ¡°A ¡®Master Potion Maker¡¯ must both pioneer their own academic school and be able to teach students who can inherit their academic lineage or build their own.¡±
With razor-sharp eyes as if they could peer into one¡¯s heart, Morpheus stared into Link¡¯s eyes: ¡°You are the ¡®student¡¯ that we have been yearning for for many years, that little apprentice!¡±
Link could discern the strong emotional undertones in Morpheus¡¯ words.
It was typical of someone who was not up to the task entrusting their hopes to a sessor.
He mused, how could the minister of the Medical Department, even if a bit ipetent, repeatedly permit a small yer like Link to ¡°jump around¡± and shamelessly besmirch the reputation of the Medical Department without any attempt at retaliation?
Even going as far as setting the stage for Link to shine brighter and draw more attention.
Nothing in this world happens without a reason.
Why is Morpheus so kind to Link?
Why does Wizard Salossal tolerate Link?
The answer is they pinned high hopes on Link.
Link understood.
However, he did not respond directly to Morpheus, choosing to remain silent instead.
Frankly, he didn¡¯t quite agree with the approach and mindset of Morpheus and Wizard Salossal.
Even so, he couldn¡¯t express his discontent openly and hence chose to hold his silence.
After a good while, as the two were nearly leaving the temporary site of the Medical Department, Link spoke up:
¡°If the Serene Wizard needs me, I will certainly assist wholeheartedly. However, it¡¯s not for your sakes, but for myself, and for the care and support the Serene Wizard has provided me.¡±
After saying that, Link ignored Morpheus, whose expression had beplicated, and he took out his newly acquired Third Ring Magic Tool ss vehicle.
As he tossed it, he childishly cheered in his mind:
Transform!
Witnessing the miniaturized vehicle swell back to its normal size,
Link couldn¡¯t help but marvel:
A man is a boy at heart until he dies;
And,
A car is indeed a man¡¯s second ¡°home¡±.
Upon their first meeting, Link had already taken a deep liking to this vehicle.
After his moment of admiration, Link moved toward the nobly designed, luxurious vehicle, a Third Ring Magic Tool ss vehicle resembling a custom version of Mr. Bean¡¯s Phantom Coupe.
Sensing that Link, who hadpleted the spiritual binding during the tossing process, was approaching, the car door swung open automatically.
Link sat in the driver¡¯s seat.
This vehicle supported both manual and automatic driving modes.
Of course, Link chose the automatic driving mode.
Having been away from the ¡°car world¡± for such a long time, even if he was itching to drive, he couldn¡¯t risk his own life, right?
After a low roar, the cool vehicle sped away from the temporary site of the Medical Department with Link onboard at an astonishing speed.
After taking a joyful spin outdoors and enjoying the breeze, Link returned to the temporary site of the Medical Department.
By then, Morpheus had already emerged from his intense emotional state.
He greeted Link, speaking in a subdued tone: ¡°There¡¯s not much to do here, if you are restless, you can go back first.¡±
Link chuckled, saying, ¡°We came together, so let¡¯s leave together.¡±
Saying so, Link stowed the vehicle away and headed towards the Medical Department¡¯s potion production line.
Morpheus made no attempt to stop him and allowed it to happen.
After all, a sociable genius is always easier to get along with than an aloof one who thinks highly of themselves.
In this way, the nine members of the Potion Department helped the Medical Department with their work for an entire day, processing over 60,000 contaminated fairies.
By the time they returned to the rear camp in the Deste World, it was already ¡°sunset.¡±
Every ce covered by the Wizard World, no matter how far apart, follows the same time rule!
When dawn breaks in the Wizard World, it dawns in all other ces.
When night falls in the Wizard World, so it does in all other ces.
That¡¯s how absolute it is!
After returning to his quarters, taking a bath, and reflecting on his experiences of the day, Link went to sleep.
He woke up early the next morning with nothing in particr to do and set about his studies.
The leisurely lifestyle continued undisturbed for one and a half month.
The final version of the body refining potion, after such a long period of trial feedback and optimization, was ready.
Link didn¡¯t want to deal with the hassle of running the production line and handling sales, so as soon as the version was finalized, he made contact with the Serene Wizard.
¡°Little guy, did you miss your sister?¡±
For some reason, upon seeing Link¡¯s youthful face this time, the Serene Wizard couldn¡¯t resist bantering.
Perhaps she was trying to shake off the feeling of greasiness she had acquired from Lokan with Link¡¯s freshness?
¡°No!¡±
Link deadpanned, refusing to be yed with by the older sister figure, and said seriously, ¡°The final version of the body refining potion is ready, and I would like to transfer it to your potion shop for production and sales.¡±
¡°Hmph!¡±
With a charming pout, Serene Wizard shot Link a captivating re, saying discontentedly, ¡°So you¡¯re done using Lokan for testing your potions?¡±
Link calmly replied: ¡°He didn¡¯t lose out, did he? The effect of my potion is significantly better than what he used before.¡±
¡°Yes, you¡¯re the best!¡±
Serene Wizard gave a half-hearted response, then asked, ¡°How much of the profits are you nning to share with me this time? Last time, I made a killing from the 30% profits of the ¡®Mind¡¯ potion.¡±
Chapter 355: 87 Renowned Sentiment always meet Indifference_3
Chapter 355: Chapter 87 Renowned Sentiment always meet Indifference_3
Upon hearing that, Link couldn¡¯t help but counter, ¡°You haven¡¯t given me my share yet, I don¡¯t even know how much I¡¯ve made.¡±
The Serene Wizard chuckled, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Jasmine takes care of the finances? I gave it to her.¡±
Link was speechless.
He indeed had said that.
However, his exact words were that Jasmine would handle the finances for anything ¡®frence¡¯.
It didn¡¯t include his private finances!
But having been teased by the Serene Wizard like this, there was no good response.
Link could only pause and say, ¡°Let¡¯s still do a seventy-thirty split, your potion shop is responsible for the materials, production, and sales.¡±
¡°Hehe, okay,¡±
The Serene Wizard covered her mouth andughed, ¡°Little brother always gives sister money, how sweet. Big sister loves little brother.¡±
Link couldn¡¯t help but feel frustrated.
This was definitely not the usual behavior of the Serene Wizard.
Sure enough, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the side, asking, ¡°Serene, who are you video chatting with? Palo that straightced man? Ignore him ande drink with us!¡±
The Serene Wizard nced towards the source of the voice and said, ¡°It¡¯s not Palo¡ It¡¯s little brother Link.¡±
¡°Link!¡±
Suddenly, a somewhat sharp shout was heard.
Link found this voice quite familiar.
Before he had time to think about it, Elise¡¯s face appeared on the screen, she chirped excitedly, ¡°Link, how have you been? Are you having fun? Do you miss me? Because I miss you.¡±
Hearing that, Link felt frustrated again.
Why are girls who have had some drinks so bold?
They all go direct!
Link calmly replied, ¡°Thank you. I¡¯m doing very well. I¡¯m not unhappy.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
Seeing Link¡¯s response, Elise¡¯s enthusiastic expression immediately dropped, and she responded dispiritedly.
A woman as beautiful as the Serene Wizard, but with a more subtle and serene temperament, appeared on the screen. She furrowed her brows and red at Link, ¡°Are you Link Grande? Is this how you talk to my sister? You¡¡±
Before she could finish, the Serene Wizard covered her mouth.
¡°Go, go, go¡¡±
The Serene Wizard started to ¡®chase¡¯ Renee and Elise away, ¡°Stop interfering with my business.¡±
¡°That¡¯s business?¡±
Renee insisted, continuing to vent the amplified emotions from drinking, ¡°That¡¯s reminiscing about past Palo!¡±
¡°Enough!¡±
The Serene Wizard suddenly grimaced, shouted, and then immediately hung up.
All Link saw was a fleeting sadness and loneliness in the Serene Wizard.
¡°What¡¡±
As for what just happened, those conversations, Link felt a moment of unreality.
A momentter, before Link could recover, the Serene Wizard sent a video chat request again.
Link wasted no time in epting it.
The background was the same, but the Serene Wizard¡¯s demeanor had clearly changed.
Her gaze no longer held the previous confusion andxity, and was as intelligent and profound as usual.
¡°Sixty-forty!¡±
Suddenly, the Serene Wizard made a somewhat unreasonable demand, ¡°I want forty percent of the revenue from this body refining potion.¡±
After a moment¡¯s pause, Link nodded, ¡°Okay.¡±
The extra ten percent can be seen as a token of gratitude to the Serene Wizard.
The Serene Wizard didn¡¯t really care whether it was thirty or forty percent, she was just a bit annoyed and wanted to make up for it.
After bypassing the issue of the dividend ratio, the Serene Wizard looked at Link seriously and suddenly sighed deeply:
¡°Link, don¡¯t be like Palo.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t cause others to suffer.¡±
Chapter 356: 88: Life is a Constant Cycle_1
Chapter 356: Chapter 88: Life is a Constant Cycle_1
¡°¡¡±
Link was left speechless.
¡°Let¡¯s leave it at that.¡±
The Serene Wizard¡¯s interest seemed to wane and she ended themunication.
As the screen gradually faded to ck, Link didn¡¯t feel much. In the depths of his heart, there were only ripples.
From his innermost feelings, he thought that some of Wizard Palo¡¯s actions were justified.
Of course, there were also actions that he deemed inappropriate.
After all, people are different.
Different experiences, different standpoints, different personalities, and unique ways of doing things.
The situations they face are even more diverse.
Even when addressing the same matter, everyone will have their own thoughts and interpretations.
It¡¯s impossible for everyone to respond in the same way.
Link decided to continue on his path and worry about the restter.
A momentter, Link put down his personal AI brain, rested his hands behind his head, andy on the bed.
His consciousness sunk into his Sea of Consciousness, he took a usual nce at the ¡°seed¡± inside, and noticed the Fairy King¡¯s Spirit seemed to be on itsst breath.
However, Link paid no particr attention to this, only ncing at it without doing anything else.
For example, elerating the process¡
In case he gave the Fairy King an opportunity for revenge.
Just keep the Fairy King locked up and let the ¡°seed¡± slowly consume him.
There was no need to forcibly insert more drama.
Franda was idly sleeping in the cottage.
Sensing Link¡¯s consciousness, she only turned over and continued sleeping.
The more she stayed in Link¡¯s Sea of Consciousness, the more casual she became.
Returning from his consciousness, Link got off the bed, picked up some information rted to the soul and Sea of Consciousness, and continued to read.
Not long after, he received a notice from the old guy Morpheus, asking him toe to the minister¡¯s office.
Put down his material, leaving the dormitory, Link went to see Morpheus.
¡°The task is here, we need to work overtime toplete it.¡±
Morpheus waved the printed task list, excitedly saying, ¡°The legion is finally going to fight a big, hard battle!¡±
¡°Let me take a look.¡±
Link took the mission list from Morpheus and found that the Front Line Command Post had provided the Potion Department with the task of preparing potions mainly for removing evil harms and treating burns, supplemented by potions for healing physical wounds.
He had known that the legion was preparing to bait Abyss Demons, and when he saw the list, he immediately realized that the Front Line Command Post had found out that the Abyss Demons that would be caught mainly featured me Demons.
The attacks of Abyss Demons all carried evil damage.
Only me Demons could cause burns without adding other property damage.
To deal withrge numbers of me Demons, they had to mainly use Water System attacks.
That was precisely one of the specialties of Ravensmouth College.
However, these weren¡¯t Link¡¯s concerns.
After thinking for a moment, he put the idea aside.
He only had half a month left until his conscription term ended, the big battle wouldn¡¯t break out before Link returned.
And he had sufficient preparations.
¡°I obey the arrangements.¡±
Before Morpheus could speak, Link immediately expressed his stance, ¡°I am very willing to contribute to the Potion Department.¡±
¡°Very good.¡±
Old man Morpheus said loudly, ¡°I n to temporarily merge the research group and the refining group to fully produce these potions andplete the task as soon as possible. If you have spare energy, you can try to develop some potions against the Abyss Demons.¡±
Link spread his hands: ¡°I don¡¯t know much about Abyss Demons.¡±
Old Morpheus stared at Link for a while: ¡°You can learn about it.¡±
Link shook his head: ¡°There¡¯s no time to learn now, my conscription will end in half a month, and then I have to go back to further studies.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
Morpheus nodded, understanding the situation, waved his hand to dismiss the ¡°useless¡± Link, ¡°What use are you?¡±
Link twitched his mouth.
Huh, men!
Darn it, hag!
Afterining, he left the office and went straight to the potion refining ¡°workshop¡±.
As long as his conscription hasn¡¯t ended, he is a part of the Potion Department and has to contribute.
It¡¯s only natural, just and righteous, he wouldn¡¯t shirk his responsibilities or bezy.
He only needs to refine potions ording to the form, there¡¯s not much technical content.
Everyday, he repeats the same work.
It¡¯s actually quite tedious.
Link repeated this tedious routine for half a month.
Only on the day his conscription ended was he finally free.
These days, it¡¯s honestly better to develop potions.
Even if his hair falls out due to stress, it¡¯s much better than the dull and tedious repetition.
Not long afterpleting the mission and returning to the forward base, Assad came to the Potion Department early in the morning. He nned to see Link off, to see things through to the end.
¡°Look at your new car.¡±
When he saw Link, Assad immediately forgot about the farewell and started yelling excitedly, ¡°I heard you took Minister Salossal¡¯s custom-made car, it¡¯s a pity I was out on a mission then, otherwise I would havee to experience it.¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
Standing in front of the Potion Department, Link took out the ¡°Phantom Coupe¡± and threw it in front of him.
A noble and luxurious Third Ring Magic Tool-level vehicle appeared in front of Link and Assad.
Upon seeing this, Assad immediately put away his off-road vehicle.
His intention was clear, he wanted to ride in Link¡¯s car.
He waved his hand towards the direction of the minister¡¯s office, bidding farewell to Morpheus who was probably watching them through the monitor.
Link got in the driver¡¯s seat and the ¡°Phantom Coupe¡± zoomed away.
Another goodbye.
