wizards start with occlumency

Chapter 232: Want a shot?

"poverty?"

Jasmine was a little confused.

Then, she said doubtfully: "I know you are poor, but that's not what you're asking about."

This is so heartbreaking, old man.

Just as Link was about to take a sip of green tea, the hand that raised the glass suddenly froze in mid-air, and he could not recover for a long time.

What words hurt the most?

The truth hurts the most because there is no way to refute it.

Puff.

Jasmine laughed.

She said that on purpose just to vent her anger.

I left for several days without even a message.

It's okay to report that you're safe at least.

Even if the cost of cross-border communication is high, you can't afford this magic stone.

Even if you are stingy and reluctant to spend money, I will pay for it!
Moreover, I didn’t tell him in advance when I came back. I didn’t know until Hamid, the butler, informed me.

This has happened several times, and it happens every time.

It's irritating!

Now let me have a taste of what it feels like to be angry. Is it comfortable?

I just want to make you angry, huh!

Jasmine raised her head, pointed at the back of Link's head, wrinkled her beautiful nose, and made a face.

"Don't make trouble."

Link said quietly, continued to lift the cup and took a sip of tea.

Hearing this, Jasmine calmed down, remembered the business, lightly slapped Link on the chest, and said angrily, "Don't make trouble! I was just talking to you about business, why did you interrupt me randomly?"

"What did you just ask? What are your thoughts on the mission?"

Link took another sip of tea and sighed: "My only impression is that it started seriously and ended inexplicably. Until now, I still have many doubts that I haven't clarified."

"What doubt?"

Jasmine asked curiously, "Why did it start so seriously and end so unexpectedly?"

Link said: "Recruit normally, assemble normally, hold meetings normally, unify ideas, clarify division of labor, and set goals. Go to the destination, conduct reconnaissance, start investigation, and then, a sudden change occurs."

"Mutation? What mutation?"

"A level 3 Zerg world, suddenly a level 5 brood appears, and there are even mutations of higher-level Zerg!"

"Level 5? How did you escape safely?"

"I'm not sure about the specific process. I guess it's a shake-up."

"Shaking people?"

"The precious great-granddaughter of two great sages goes out on an adventure. Will there be anyone to follow her and protect her?"

"Oh, you're talking about this. I thought you were shaking people from the academy."

"It's not that we won't be able to sway people, but we won't have enough time, so we probably won't be able to catch up."

"Well. Go on, didn't you say there are still some doubts that you haven't figured out yet? What are the doubts?"

“First of all, Shandora Diomande, the person who recruited me and the great-granddaughter of two great sages, what exactly is the content of the mission briefing she received;
Why is the situation in the mission world so different from the mission details she sent me?

Secondly, why does she need a mother nest, a plan to strengthen the Zerg, and a method to enslave the Zerg;

Then, what exactly happened to the Zerg in the mission world;

Where does that level 5 brood come from and what is its purpose;

Whether the ones issuing curses and howling attacks are the same Zerg;
Is the small speck that serves as the agent of the curse a biochemical pheromone, or is it an occult connection?
What is the principle of parasite parasitism in the air;
how eggs are spread;

What are the results of the parasite test?
Finally, what is that behemoth hidden behind the level 5 nest?
How did we deal with it after we left? "

Link briefly told Jasmine the doubts that he didn't understand and wanted to understand very much.

Unfortunately, most of these doubts are destined to remain unclear.

After a slight pause, Link shook his head and said: "Forget it, the matter has passed, there is no use thinking about it."

"Then don't think about it, just take a good rest."

Jasmine straightened up, pulled up a stool and sat down, then lowered the upper part of Link's chair so that Link's head could rest on her chest for support.

His white and tender hands were placed near the corners of Link's eyes, gently massaging them to relieve his fatigue.

Then he winked at the housekeeper Hamid and directed Hamid to build a transparent pergola.

In this way, the two of them can enjoy the sunshine without being made uncomfortable by the wind.

Also light a stick of Hemerocallis aromatherapy to make the air fresher and more calming.

After going through a mission that was not very long but had many twists and turns, I always maintained a high degree of vigilance.

Even when I was resting in the rear camp, I was worried about encountering an accident at any time and my mind was tense.

Link was indeed a little tired and longing for stability.

Listening to the pounding movement, feeling the slight ups and downs, and under Jasmine's massage, Link gradually relaxed his heartstrings and fell into a deep sleep.

Link's slight snoring sounded in her ears. Looking at her brows that gradually relaxed, Jasmine massaged Link for a while before stopping.

She gently raised the upper part of the chair so that Link's upper body and head could be supported while still maintaining a comfortable position of lying on his back.

After kissing Link on the forehead, Jasmine stood up and walked around to the front, then lay down on her side.

Squeeze into a chair with Link, close your eyes, and sleep peacefully.

After Link went out for a few days, Jasmine was worried and frightened for a few days, and there was no quality rest at all.

During this period, she was studying, presiding over the affairs of the Grande Pharmacy, and "free to do whatever she wanted" via remote control. She had to work hard and deal with it reluctantly.

Now that Link has returned safely, all worries and anxieties have dissipated. He feels relaxed and naturally falls asleep.

This sleep lasted from the morning until the sun set over the western mountains, and the sunset glow filled the sky.

The first to wake up was Link.

He opened his eyes and looked at Jasmine, who was coiled around him like an octopus, sleeping soundly. She didn't move in a hurry to avoid waking up the girl.

Looking at the girl lying on his chest, with only the tips of her ears exposed from her hair, she couldn't help but feel that she was extremely cute.

I really want to pinch it.

As he watched, Link was in a daze, lost in thought.

How did the relationship between the two develop to this extent?
Link asked himself this in his mind, and then began to recall every detail of his contact with Jasmine.

The first time we met was at Viscount Holiday's castle.

Jasmine demonstrated how to conduct a wizard qualification test in front of many little kids.

At that moment, Jasmine showed a calmness and generosity that was not consistent with her age.

It is completely different from the childish behavior of most of the twelve or thirteen-year-old "peers" in Holiday Viscounty.

What left a deep impression was that when I got off the boat, my attitude changed drastically before and after I made my choice.

From the normal mode of getting along with strangers, he suddenly became intimate, and his methods were very immature.

Then after entering school, he showed that he was motivated but still a little playful.

It wasn't until something unpleasant happened during the picnic on the lakeside lawn of the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" that I put away my playful thoughts and concentrated on my studies.

That's when the transformation began.

Just like Jasmine originally just wanted to "be close to" Link and get some guidance and convenience in learning;

Link originally regarded Jasmine as a "canary" in a cage to spice up his boring daily life.

Who knew that girlish feelings are always poetry.

When Jasmine enters adolescence, whether she realizes it or not, she has her first love interest.

At that time, she always followed Link and stayed together all day long.

And Link is indeed better than other people of his age.

Naturally, Jasmine changed her attitude towards Link.

From "use" to "dependence", from pretending to be "sexy" to gradually becoming shy.

What was originally a fake and pretended admiration turned into a true and unconcealable love.

All the foot-waving flirting techniques that I had learned since childhood were forgotten.

As long as I'm with you, I'm very happy, and I don't have the time to talk about tea.This is why Jasmine always likes to sigh and break herself.

And what about Link?

When did Link change his mentality and stop pursuing the "Three Not Scumbags" strategy?
She probably went to the apprentice level to practice in a secret realm, and when she came back a month later, she found that in order not to fall behind too much, Jasmine took the risk and accepted Wizard Serin's immature "bone worm plan" to forcibly improve her wizard qualifications.

Just as he was thinking of this, Jasmine woke up with a cry, disrupting Link's thoughts.

Open your hands, stretch beautifully, twist and rub hard.

After her muscles and bones were relaxed, Jasmine started the next movement of getting up.

"oops."

Holding Link's chest with both hands, Jasmine tried to use the strength to get up, but her hands went numb for a moment and she fell down again.

What a coincidence, just now in order to get up, I moved my body upwards.

This time, when he jumped on Link, it was chest to chest, lips to lips.

mua kissed him.

"Disgusting! Hmph!"

After a while, Jasmine once again stood up holding Link's chest, let out a sweet cry, and walked out of the transparent pergola with her head held high.

Not even a hint of shyness, just like a little fox stealing a chicken.

"Is this the legendary arrogant?"

Link sighed and got up to go back to the restaurant, ready to treat his stomach.

I've been out for several days and haven't had a good meal at all, but I feel so wronged.

The next day, early in the morning.

Link drove Jasmine back to the Advanced Academy in the "Phantom Coupe", then returned to the North District and drove to the wizard Seren's villa.

Now that I'm back, I have to report.

It was still early, and Wizard Serin hadn't gone out yet to work in the pharmacy.

"You're back now? How do you feel?"

In the living room, Wizard Seren received Link. The first thing he asked after sitting down was this.

Link thought for a while and said seriously:

"It's hard to say!

The biggest feeling is that there are huge differences between people.

What I cherish, in the eyes of some people, may be just a toy that can be discarded at will.

For me, it is an exploration and pioneering adventure with a narrow escape from death, but it is the experience of some people. "

Hearing this, Wizard Serin smiled slightly and said, "Isn't this something you have known for a long time? Why do you suddenly feel so many emotions?"

Link replied: "Maybe it's because I only knew about it before, but now I have experienced it myself."

"Ha ha……"

Wizard Serin laughed a few times, and then asked, "Then what are your plans in the future? Accept her invitation?"

Obviously, Wizard Serin has some understanding of how people with Shandora Diomande's status would use to recruit "subordinates".

Perhaps she has encountered a similar situation before?

Link solemnly said: "I took advantage of an opportunity to express my feelings, so she did not extend an invitation to me."

"Well……"

Wizard Serin pondered for a while, and after thinking about it, he said, "It's quite normal, this decision. Whenever she thinks of where you are needed in the future, she will just send out another call. As long as you have free time, you can still refuse the call. ?So, whether she sends an invitation or not, and whether you sign an agreement or not, it doesn’t make a big difference."

After a pause, Lao Siji started the car and rolled the wheel directly into Link's face: "In this case, you will have to be ticketed again and again. Not to mention not getting any benefits, your body will be broken by the ticket. It's not worth the gain! It's better to I followed her from the beginning, and at least I was able to get a little bit of bed space."

Link chose to ignore these words and pretended that he had never heard them.

Racing with Lao Si Ji?
You're crazy to do that.

Seeing Link acting like a serious person, Wizard Serin curled his lips, disdainful of the man who was duplicitous.

You’ve grown up playing, how can you still be serious?
Serious P!

After suppressing his complaints, Wizard Serin returned to business and asked, "You must have something to do when you come to me, so tell me. Hurry up, I have to go to the pharmacy later."

Link then asked: "Someone reminded me to be careful about Lucia. I want to ask if anything happened during the few days I was away."

"Careful Rukia?"

Wizard Serin frowned slightly, "Lukia has completely kept a low profile since she reached a settlement with you, and has not done anything special. If there is any change, there is only one change, and that is Sauron starting to enter the transformation period."

"Well……"

Link pondered deeply.

After a while, there was no progress, so I simply put it aside and ignored it for the time being.

After finishing the business, without wasting Wizard Serin's time, Link stood up and left.

After leaving Wizard Serin's villa, Link drove to Grande Pharmacy.

This has just opened and is not yet open for business.

I greeted the store clerks who came to work part-time or full-time through the "freedom to do anything" channel one by one, showing my presence as a store owner.

Link went straight to the underground laboratory.

For Sandora, the mission was completely over the moment she called her mother, Ms. Lysandra.

However, there is still some unfinished business for Link.

With the memories in the Hall of Thought and the materials, results and samples stored in the "small world", Link began to write a report.

There are three reports in total.

The first one is the ecological structure of the mission world, which is mainly based on micro-level data, such as the test results of soil, water, and humus, to make a model hypothesis.

Due to the lack of data support, especially macro-level data, the gold content of this report will not be too high.

But it barely corresponds to one of the three original goals of the mission: investigating ecological structure.

The second one is about the abnormal changes of the Zerg. It is mainly based on a series of observations, autopsies, in vivo studies, and the detection of dead insect eggs next to the culture tank. It gives the inference of external sources and the inference that the external source is "light radiation".

Due to the lack of comparative data on individual anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry after evolution, this report is more valuable than the first one, but it is not very good.

It can only barely correspond to the second and third of the three original goals of the mission: investigating abnormal changes and causes of mutations.

The third, which probably shouldn't be a report, explores the link between sonic attacks and parasites.

There is no data or direct evidence. The whole article is based on Link's assumptions, conjectures and analysis based on his own existing knowledge system.

After writing these three reports, I checked them carefully again.

Link sent the three reports to Lanie Taylor and asked Lanie to forward them to Sandora on her behalf.

This can be regarded as the official end of this mission for Link Grande.

After leaving the underground laboratory and arriving on the first floor, Link saw Wizard Cody walking in.

"Come here and go somewhere with me."

Wizard Cody waved to Link and said politely.

"Where to go? What's wrong?"

Link asked suspiciously.

"You'll know once you get there. I won't trick you anyway."

Wizard Cody has entered a period of transformation, and he has become emotional when talking and doing things, and he actually sells it.

Link had no choice but to walk out of the pharmacy and drive toward the West End, following Wizard Cody.

Two cars, one behind the other, drove into an airport terminal.

"This is for you. Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"

Wizard Cody got out of the car with a rather expectant look on his face, pointed at a container, and said to Link.

"it is good."

Link was also looking forward to it and unscrewed the container door.

When I opened it, I was instantly pleasantly surprised.

What was installed in the container was actually a naval gun.

A starship's main gun capable of firing the Star Destroyer Cannon.

Wizard Cody actually gave a cannon as a gift.

He is indeed a real man who was once nicknamed "Human Slaughter".

Hardcore enough!
