wizards start with occlumency

Chapter 137 Cooperation?trade!
"Ah."

Link nodded, expressing nothing in particular.

But his tone and demeanor showed that he had indeed listened to Jasmine's words.

This made Jasmine feel better.

"Everyone, let's take a rest and recharge our batteries to fight again tomorrow."

Link waved to the crowd who were happy to eat melons, signaling that today is here and everything is over.

Hurry back to each tent and go to bed early.

The crowd was still unsatisfied, and they returned to the tent area with a little reluctance.

Watching the ambiguous fight between the big brother and the big sister is much happier than brainstorming to save this messy world.

By the way, the sloppy round shot that the eldest sister hit just now was really good.

That is to meet a big boss, otherwise who can stand it?

Jasmine pursed her lips a few times, and finally swallowed what she wanted to say.

She glanced deeply at Link, turned back to her tent, got into her sleeping bag, covered her head and fell asleep.

If the words are not spoken, you are the master of them.

Once the words are spoken, you become a slave to them.

Link once told her.

Now, she wants to use the principles Link taught her to control her little emotions.

Emmm...

Self-reliance and self-improvement, don't love children.

Link entered the tent, his consciousness sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, he reflected on himself in the memory palace, then meditated deeply, and then went to sleep.

Before he knew it, the small transformation of the Sea of ​​Consciousness had ended.

Link is now a genuine and genuine third-class wizard apprentice.

Already able to practice the third level of "Water and Wood Mutual Generation Meditation", continue to accumulate spiritual power to 99 points,
After that, I transferred to the fourth level of "Meditating on the Mutual Generation of Water and Wood" and shaped the rune structure of the meditation method into a round ball.

You can try to engrave the natal witchcraft, prepare for the leap of life essence, and launch an impact on being promoted to an official wizard.

After the small transformation of the Consciousness Sea, what changes did it bring to Link?

The spiritual power and magic power are still the same as yesterday, there is no qualitative change.

The space of the sea of ​​consciousness has been further opened up. Not only has it become larger, it can accommodate more spiritual power and more runes, it is also stronger and can withstand the impact of the transition of the essence of life.

In terms of strength, there is no essential difference between third-class wizard apprentices and second-class wizard apprentices, except that they can use more witchcraft at one time.

Link was still the same Link he was yesterday. He didn't become invincible as a first-level wizard just because he was promoted to third-level wizard apprentice.

Well……

In a sorcery duel alone, Link could shout out who else.

If you count the rune items and witchcraft, facing a god like Iris Clark, Link has no choice but to turn around and run away.

Krypton gold changes life, that's what it says.

A sound sleep all night.

The next day, Link woke up on time.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, he greeted Lin En who was on duty for the next shift, and Link took a look at the real-time reconnaissance screen of the circular flying saucer.

After confirming that no one was lurking around to observe, Link took two scout puppets and left the tunnel.

There are some things that can be done as early as possible, such as a short separation, to be clean and tidy.

So as not to tug and pull and affect your mood.

When he came to the riverside, Link looked far into the distance and felt relieved as he watched the river flowing eastward.

It was still too depressing in the tunnel.

Link was somewhat affected.

Although "Occlumency" can ignore this point, but in a good mood, who wants to poker face all day long?
Choosing a place where the water flow was relatively gentle, Link began to cross the river.

He first turned on the suspension function of the boots and cloak of the "Defender 3202" suit, and the whole person floated up in the air, and the height from the ground was controlled at about 5 centimeters.

With a thought, fake natal witchcraft, "double casting", "parallel casting".

The four water shield techniques that reached the level of "innovating the old and bringing forth the new" were quietly executed. Two double-layered nested water shields appeared, one in front of the other, spread across the river.

The water shield clings to the surging river.

Link stepped on the rear water shield with his left foot, borrowed a little strength, moved his body forward, and stepped on the front water shield with his right foot.

Continue to lean forward with your center of gravity, lift your left foot, and move forward with the water shield.

The two double-layer water shields seem to be firmly stuck to Link's feet.

With the levitation function of the "Defender 3202" suit boots and cloak, it can carry Link across the river and quickly travel to the other side of the river.

Like a dragonfly touching water, his steps are light.

From a distance, Link looks like the young hero described in previous martial arts novels.

He has a handsome figure and excellent lightness skills.

He stepped on the water with his feet and easily crossed a wide river.

The ferocious beast entrenched in the river expressed dissatisfaction.

This is the territory of the old people, want to go there without paying some protection fees?
They all jumped out of the water and attacked Link.

But what greeted them was a heavy blow to the head.

After unlocking the ability to meditate at any time in daily life, the most important thing Link now lacks is magic power and the number of spells he can cast.

The "continuous casting" technique was also used.

Double-layered water shields appeared one after another.

Or it sticks to Link’s feet, replacing the dissipated predecessors and carrying it across the river;

Or hit the heads of ferocious beasts in the water head-on, knocking them back into the river.

It doesn't matter if the double-layer water shield is smashed, it has its own back shield.

One water shield shattered, and thousands of water shields followed.

In this way, Link crossed the river safely and came to the riverside.

The two scouting puppets flew out with empty packages behind themselves and began scouting.

Link glanced at the real-time reconnaissance screen and found something strange on the hill where the rope was tied the day before yesterday.

After confirming that there was no ambush, Link carefully walked towards the hill.

The journey went smoothly without encountering any traps.

Under the boulder where the rope was tied, there was a line of writing. The handwriting was delicate, but it revealed a strong sense of resentment.

Link recognized it at a glance. It was left by Lanny Taylor. The specific time was unknown.

But most likely it was before the exchange of private messages.

The content of the message is:
Link Grande, no matter what misunderstandings there are between us, everything still has to focus on the two-district competition and the Paro Wizard bet. I implore you to seriously consider it, join hands with me, and cooperate sincerely.I can guarantee that my companions and I will follow your command.

The signature is: Lanie Taylor.

After reading the message, Link was speechless.

In other words, there is no such thing as abacus in the wizarding world.

Otherwise, Lani's wishful thinking would have been slapped on Link's face.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are they playing in Liaozhai?
Lanny Taylor really wanted to team up with Link, so she wouldn't do this.

This message, like the previous private message, was prepared for possible accountability, so as to put the blame on Link.

"Too many eyes."

After a brief evaluation, Link left without any disturbance in his heart.

Leaving the riverside and walking some distance away, Link made some operations on his watch and sent two announcements in succession on the camp channel:
Significant progress, completion is expected.

Wait for three days, the good news will come.

Link what does this mean?
This is making a nest and preparing to fish.

Afterwards, he switched to private chat mode and sent a message to Iris Clark: We have something to discuss. Can we meet in person?
Ignoring more than a dozen private messages that came one after another, Lin Kejing waited for Iris's reply.

Soon, Iris directly sent a request for mutual positioning.

Link decisively agreed.

Hey, the two of them are not far apart.

Link looked at the direction, compared it with the incomplete version of the "world" map in his mind, and recognized where Iris was.

There is a forest there, with tall trees and dense bushes.

I've passed by there before and didn't notice anything different.

Looking back now, everything was wrong.

Generally speaking, the closer the trees are, the more sunlight, water and soil nutrients will be robbed.

It is impossible for every tree to grow tall and straight.

There are always trees that have not snatched brothers and sisters, crooked and out of shape.

Or simply die young.

But in that forest, at first glance from the outside, there wasn't even a single crooked tree, with its roots straight and straight.

Even the shrubs underneath are growing extremely lush.

Leaving aside the messy thoughts, Link walked towards the woods.

With the map in his head, he was familiar with the terrain; scouting puppets surrounded him to eliminate dangers.

Link was moving very fast.

It only took less than an hour to arrive near the woods.

As soon as they got close, before Link could contact her with his watch, Iris flew in front of him.

"Why are you so anxious to find me?"

Iris changed her outfit, wearing camouflage suitable for jungle operations, and had some paint on her face.

With the function of concealing witch-like objects, it is very difficult to identify when hidden in the jungle.

"There is indeed something going on, but I don't know if it's good or bad for you."

Link didn't engage in coaxing, straight to the point, and said directly, "I really found a way to complete the mission of the faction, but our team's ability is limited. If we do it alone, we may be able to complete it in the end, but it will take a long time .I'm afraid that something might change in the middle."

"Ah."

Iris went online rationally, and asked calmly, "So you want to contact some apprentices from the North District through me, even half blood, not pure blood?"

Link replied: "Half blood, pure blood, this is your division, I don't understand. I only have one request, that is, the members of 'Pure Blood Will' are excluded."

"I understand."

Iris nodded, thoughtfully and enlightened.

A moment later, she stuffed her right thumb and index finger into her mouth, and whistled sharply and high-pitched.

Psychic power and magic are applied in the whistle.

Makes the whistle sound far, far away.

After a while, five boys and girls also dressed in jungle costumes flew over.

These people are all in the dirt, and everyone wears a pair of boots that can fly around.

Envy Link.

"Iris, what do you say?"

A slender boy who could be seen as handsome even with oil paint on his face walked up to Iris, stood side by side, and asked softly.

He didn't even look at Link the whole time, his thoughts were on Iris.

Link faintly sensed a sense of hostility.

Iris's perception was also very keen, and she immediately gave the boy a dissatisfied look, and said, "Don't do such nonsense, he is here to seek cooperation."

As she said this, she was still not relieved and punched the boy in the abdomen.

The young man refused to dodge and took the punch forcefully. He chuckled and said, "Don't I care too much about you?"

"what……"

Iris shuddered, seemed to be numb, and couldn't stand the boy's straight ball, "You talk, I'm leaving."

After saying this, Iris flew away with a whoosh.

"Hello, I am Munro Briceño."

After Iris left, the boy immediately returned to his shrewd and capable image, grinned in a friendly manner, and took the initiative to extend his right hand.

"Link Grande."

Reaching out without hitting the smiling man, Link and the young Monroe shook hands lightly.

"How do you want to cooperate with us? Continue to let us be thugs, people who hold each other down?"

Monroe Bricegno withdrew his right hand, his tone was still gentle, but his words were very sharp.

It directly exposed Link's tricks in the faction channel and private chat channel.

Link never thought that his thoughts could be hidden from everyone.

It's normal to be seen through.

"It depends on how you choose."

Link said calmly, not feeling the embarrassment of being exposed at all.

"Oh?"

Munro became slightly interested.

To be honest, if Iris hadn't been the matchmaker, he wouldn't have been prepared to meet Link, let alone cooperate.

Yesterday, I saw four announcements posted by Link on the camp channel, I saw the private chat between Iris and Link, and I saw the same message that another companion later received.

Munro could see Link's deep wariness towards local apprentices in the North District, even if they were from the same camp.

How can we work together if we are wary?
Cooperation is naturally out of the question.

However, after Iris received Link's private message this morning, she insisted on meeting again and again.

This is the basis for dialogue.

Munro put away his hostility and asked: "Tell me in detail?"

Link replied:

"If you are willing to do research and experiments, I can share some ideas with you. Of course, this is not free and requires you to exchange some valuable information or artifacts.

If you are unwilling to do research and experiments, I can also share other ideas with you, free of charge, so that you can deal with the opposition camp. "

"interesting."

Monroe felt the confidence and confidence of Link when he spoke, and his interest suddenly increased, "I want both ideas! Let's make a price!"

What does it mean to ask Link to ask for a price so boldly, as if he is willing to give "money" at any time?
It means that Monroe Bricegno does not want to engage in cooperation, but to make deals.

Cooperation creates camaraderie.

Really at the last moment, after the faction is victorious, it is not easy to start with a backstab to compete for personal results!
It's better to trade purely.

At that time, when it's time to make a move, he will make a move, no matter how hard the attack is, no matter how dark the method is, there will be no burden in his heart.

Link understood Munro's intention and was not surprised at all.

Why didn't he think so?

"I need some experimental equipment, botany, zoology, microbiology, whatever."

Link put forward his needs first.

"no problem."

Munro waved his hand and said, "I can give you a complete set, as long as the ideas you give are worth the price."

Link smiled and said directly without going around in circles: "I wonder if you have discovered some ruins that tell the story of how this world is on the verge of destruction and why.

We discovered that a godslayer once appeared in this world, and started a war that lasted for thousands of years with the gods in this world.

In the end, the gods fell, human beings were destroyed, and the origin of the world suffered heavy damage and was on the verge of destruction.

This has also led to the unbalanced ecology of this world today, with various abnormalities.

For example, the forest behind you shows this aspect. "

While speaking, Link has been carefully observing Munro's eyes and face, trying to see some reactions.

However, Monroe always maintained a faint smile without any change.

His character is very good and his city is not shallow.

Link put aside his desire to see into the other party's psychology and threw out the real information:

“Saving the world and destroying the world are actually two sides of the same coin.

The true meaning of the mission of the opposing camp is to destroy first and then save.

And the true meaning of our mission of pros and cons can be to destroy and save at the same time.

I call it devastating salvation. "

After a pause, Link emphasized:
"As long as we get ahead of the opposition camp and destroy everything that deserves destruction, we will win for sure."

Go the way of others, let others have no way to go!
