wizards start with occlumency

Link accurately sensed something strange.

I feel that if we continue to talk about this topic, the Friendship Group and the Social Terrorism Group may propose a "donation" to him.

So he decisively stopped talking about cultivation resources and started chatting about other topics.

The conversation didn't take long this time, but because the atmosphere changed, Link had to make excuses and end the conversation in a hurry.

"How poor am I in their eyes?"

Watching the Friends Group and the Social Terrorist Group leave the villa, Link couldn't help but mutter to himself, doubting his life, "Am I so obviously poor?"

"It's so obvious that I'm poor!"

After sighing with emotion, Link was in no hurry to leave the country and return to the academy headquarters.

He turned around and entered the study room on the second floor, opened his office computer, and retrieved all the research materials of Christina and Garona, including those that Christina sent regularly after returning to the City of Shadows, and read them carefully.

Now that it is found that Garona is very suitable for implanting "Construction", and "Construction" can also help her growth, then this idea cannot only stay in the mind.

Sit down and talk, stand up and do it.

After checking Garona's information, Link also checked Christina's information.

Christina is not as special as her daughter Garona. Her compatibility with the "Construct" is not particularly high, and she is no different from other ordinary wizards.

Moreover, because of her overall carrying capacity, perhaps due to a lucky and successful biochemical transformation, it is even worse.

After reading all the information, Link began to design a "construction" suitable for Garona.

Considering Garona's age and endurance, it was of course impossible to implant the suit from the beginning.

Even single pieces must be carefully designed into special styles that can be upgraded.

Link had already had an idea while teasing Garona in the general manager's office at the "Freedom to Do Anything" headquarters.

Now that I'm designing the "construction", it can be said that my thoughts are flowing like a fountain and it's all done in one go.

One afternoon passed and 4 special pieces were successfully designed.

This efficiency is not high.

说是4个特殊单件，其实就像荆棘系列巫术0环“荆棘缠绕”、1环“荆棘绞杀”、2环“荆棘丛生”、3环“荆天棘地”那样，是依次递升的关系。

不过与荆棘系列巫术不同的是，4个特殊单件共用一个名字，而且功能相同，只不过效果有高低之分，好似同一系列的汽车发动机有3、4、5、6、8、10、12的不同缸数。

The special item is called "Shadow Embrace". As the name suggests, its function is to increase Garona's affinity for shadow elements and the concept of darkness.

In Link's imagination, "Shadow's Embrace" will be combined with the yet-to-be-designed special pieces "Devil's Kiss", "Shadow Blur", and "Invisible Blade" to form a special set "Shadow's Serpent's Embrace" bite".

The so-called special set refers to a level 1 set that can be upgraded from a level 1 set with an effect equivalent to level 4 witchcraft to a level 4 set with an effect equivalent to level [-] witchcraft.

He raised his eyes and looked out the window and found that it was already getting late. Link tidied up a little and took the 4 "Shadow Embrace" individual pieces that he had already designed, as well as the idea of ​​the "Shadow Serpent's Bite" suit, through cross-border teleportation. He returned to the college headquarters and drove straight to the villa.

Jasmine actually just came back from the laboratory and just got out of the car.

"what happened?"

Link walked up to Jasmine, who didn't look very good, and asked with concern.

"It's nothing."

Jasmine turned around and walked towards the villa, saying as she walked, "It's just that the experiment didn't go well."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Link frowned slightly and said this.

Ever since Jasmine embarked on the path of a beast-controlling wizard, Link really couldn't be of much help.

In other words, only biology can be used as a reference.

"No."

Jasmine was not polite and told the truth directly. Then she softened her tone and asked, "You went to see Garona. Is she okay now?"

Unlike before, Link was so busy that he never even saw Garona's face.

Jasmine made a special trip to have video communication with Assander and saw Garona several times.

"The situation is fine."

Link replied truthfully, "Christina has done a good job in keeping the connection between Garona's soul and body at a more appropriate point. It will not be too alienated, and it will also avoid the influence of the Shadow Serpent's bloodline. It is also relatively It has completely realized the vision that Wizard Seren and I had, allowing the racial abilities of the Shadow Serpent to be integrated into Garona’s body bit by bit.”

"That's good."

Jasmine nodded and did not continue talking about this topic.

She was having a hard time doing research and experiments today, and she was not in a very good mood at this time.

Caring about Garona's affairs is all a matter of force.

After getting the reply, I lost interest in talking.

Link saw something was wrong with Jasmine and swallowed back what he was planning to say about the "Shadow Serpent's Bite" suit.

When you are in a bad mood, how can you have the time to listen to things that are not very relevant to you?

It’s better not to say anything about yourself or others.

After entering the hall, after thinking for a while, Link waved to the smart butler and gave some instructions.

Afterwards, as usual, the two had dinner in the restaurant, sipping tea and chatting.

Jasmine was really in no mood. Whether she was eating or drinking tea, she seemed absent-minded, as if she was following a process.

"Go to rest early today, don't think about anything, and have a good sleep."

Link saw this and took the initiative to get up and walk upstairs, "No matter what happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Ah."

Jasmine agreed and walked to the bedroom.

As soon as she walked into her bedroom, Jasmine noticed a difference.

Several rooms in the bedroom suite are filled with fresh, elegant and calming fragrance.

There is also a guide strip composed of petals of various colors, indicating Jasmine to go towards the bathroom.

Jasmine walked into the bathroom along the path paved with flower petals and found that everything was ready inside.

Hot water at the right temperature, petals floating on the water that have a refreshing and calming effect, lit aromatherapy essential oils, soft lights, and soothing music create an environment that can completely relax people.

"This dead wood!"

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and Jasmine murmured angrily.

The bad mood all day long disappeared.

In many cases, it is not necessary to do a good job, as long as you do it and show concern, that is enough.

Silent all night.

the next day.

With a full posture and a high spirit, Jasmine left the villa and headed for the laboratory.

Before leaving, he took Link's cheek and wiped his mouth.

"Tsk."

Link picked up the napkin and wiped the marks off his face.

When I spread it out, I saw no oil stains at all, but red marks all over!
The interlude ended. The leisurely Link had nothing to do and entered the study room to continue designing the "Shadow Serpent's Bite" set.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Link actually designed three special items: "Demon Snake's Kiss", "Shadow Blur", and "Invisible Blade" in a whole day.

This efficiency is even more efficient than yesterday afternoon.

Looking at the holographic projection in front of him, showing various data, design drawings and estimated effects of the "Shadow Serpent's Bite" suit, Link was very satisfied.

Just like many ancient literary figures in previous lives who wrote articles without adding any details and without deleting a single word, Link felt that the "Shadow Serpent's Bite" set has also reached the ultimate harmony, the ultimate harmony. , no more modifications can be made.

After continuing to admire it for a while, Link divided the document into three parts and kept them properly.

As long as Garona grows older, she can start from the level 1 "Shadow Serpent's Bite" suit and implant the "constructs" one by one.

"I can't wait!"

Link sighed.

The "Wild Strike" suit designed for the fairies in the Fairy World last time was far less proud than the "Shadow Serpent's Bite" suit.

Therefore, Link really wants to see the complete appearance of the level 4 "Shadow Serpent's Bite" set, which is equivalent to the level 4 witchcraft, as soon as possible.

Well……

When it comes to the level 4 suit, Link becomes even more proud.

Originally, he thought that the effect of the level 4 suit was equivalent to the level 4 witchcraft, involving the use of some rules, so he could only transform it by referring to the level 4 witchcraft.

As a result, I had an unexpected gain when I designed the "Shadow Serpent's Bite" suit this time.

In other words, you don't need to refer to the 4th level witchcraft. You only need to bring out the high-limit bloodline characteristics such as the Shadow Demonic Snake to design a 4th level suit.

Thanks to her past self, in order to help Christina preserve the pregnancy, deliver the baby, raise a daughter, and reverse the sequelae of biochemical transformation, she conducted very in-depth research on the extraordinary magical beast, the Shadow Serpent.

Link thought in his mind.

At this time, there was movement downstairs, and Jasmine was back.

After getting up and leaving the study, Link went down to the first floor and saw Jasmine with a smile on her face.

It's not like yesterday evening, where the unhappiness was written directly on his face.

"The problem is solved?"

Link immediately had a guess.

"Ah."

Jasmine smiled brightly, nodded vigorously, and then said, "Thank you, Link!"

"no need thank me?"

Link smiled and said, "You should thank yourself for not losing your fighting spirit because of some setbacks."

"Thank you anyway! Thank you for your efforts last night."

Jasmine walked up to Link, reached out and tapped Link's chest. Her tone suddenly changed, and she suppressed her smile and asked, "Tell me the truth, how many people did you use that trick on last night? I'll cry if you don't tell me. show you."

"Player!"

Link curled his lips and was speechless.

After such a long time, I still think about my unskilled tea art.

It’s just that!

Link didn't even know how to complain.

After a while of fussing, Jasmine happily skipped to the kitchen and decided to cook herself.

Be sure to give Link a treat tonight to thank him for his efforts last night.

Another night of silence.

Then there are three days of normal classes.

During this period, Link concentrated on two things, studying and practicing simulations, and ignored what was going on outside the window.Not to mention the "Construction" project of the Fairy World, I haven't even been to the laboratory building of the Pharmacy Teaching and Research Group.

In this way, Link ushered in the team gathering time for the recruitment mission.

This day, early in the morning.

"Be careful, don't be brave."

Jasmine sent Link out of the villa and warned him softly.

"Don't worry, go and come back."

Link started the vehicle and left the villa without looking back.

Since the two of them started studying, they have taken the advice of the great sage Suosi into their hearts.

They can already use their own inspiration, that is, the ability to predict, freely.

For this recruitment mission, Link and Jasmine have maximized their predictive abilities at different times.

The two confirmed each other and came to the conclusion that there may be twists and turns, but there is no danger.

Although the prediction cannot be fully trusted, it is enough to comfort Jasmine's heart.

Looking at Jasmine, who was standing at the gate of the villa and looking over at the car's smart brain screen, Link suddenly accelerated.

Damn it, if you don’t leave, I’m afraid I won’t be able to walk anymore.

After a while, Link, who was speeding up, arrived at the meeting place before the meeting time: a small, relatively hidden cross-border portal.

Under the portal platform, a middle-aged wizard with long fiery red hair and a powerful aura stood tall and straight, looking at Link.

"Level [-] Sage!"

Based on the breath fluctuations, Link made a judgment in his mind.

This wizard is the leader of this mission to snipe the alien pioneer team in Shadow City, the fifth-level sage Fletcher Domingo.

He released his aura with some reservation, just to suppress the arrogance of the wizards who were selected by the academy to carry out the mission without any nonsense.

Especially those wizards from major families.

Many fools have their eyes set high and think that their ancestors are level [-] sages or level [-] sages, which means they can act unscrupulously.

Sage Fletcher Domingo has encountered many, so he wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble from the beginning.

Fletcher Domingo is not unfamiliar with low-level spiritual needs such as showing off and being slapped in the face.

Link parked the car, walked neatly to a more suitable place not far from Sage Fletcher Domingo, and said loudly: "Link Grande is here to report."

"Ah."

Sage Fletcher Domingo nodded slightly and gave Link a thoughtful look, but didn't say much.

Link didn't feel embarrassed, so he found a seat, stood still, and waited.

Not long after, all the wizards recruited for this sniper mission arrived, including Link, a total of 12 people.

Among them, there are 6 first-level wizards and 6 second-level wizards, which are evenly distributed.

Link glanced at the 11 teammates on this mission and found that there was an acquaintance among them, Lanie Taylor.

The two immediately communicated with their eyes, then nodded at the same time, reaching an agreement.

During this mission, Lanie Taylor still chose to follow Link's command and advance and retreat together.

Even though her strength has improved by leaps and bounds in recent times, in the small circle with Shandora Diomande as the core, her actual combat power has been ranked among the top ten, and she has independent capital.

All the wizard qualifications of the fifth level are fully utilized, and the speed of progress is really scary.

Well……

Even if Lanny Taylor entered a formal wizard-level practice secret realm under Shandora's arrangement and got some opportunities there, it would still be terrifying!
After Sandora learned about Lani's cultivation progress, she even said frankly in private that she was very envious of Lani's fifth-level qualification.

However, Lanny remembered very clearly that Sandora also had a fifth-level wizard qualification!

Faced with Lanni's doubtful question, Shandora pretended to be secretive again, saying that when she reaches the stage of transformation before being promoted to a sage, she will understand that there is a difference between the fifth-level upper class and the fifth-level upper class, and she will understand that Shandora Why would Dora envy her?

The wizard's qualifications seem to hide some great secrets.

Withdrawing from her reverie, Lani concentrated on waiting for the instructions from the team leader, the fifth-level sage Fletcher Domingo.

Sage Fletcher Domingo didn't talk nonsense. He just exuded aura and pressure and stared at the 12 wizards coldly.

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became depressing.

Even the air was stagnant and unable to circulate.

It was as if there were mountains pressing down on the heads of the 12 wizards who were recruited to participate in the sniper attack on the foreign pioneer team in Shadow City.

The pressure on first-level wizards is slightly lighter, and the pressure on second-level wizards is more severe.

The common point is that they are stuck at their pressure limit relatively accurately.

The reason why it is more accurate is because the pressure that one person is currently under is far from reaching the limit.

Sage Fletcher Domingo didn't show it on his face, but in fact he was already curious in his heart as to how much pressure Link Grande could withstand.

One after another, illusory but tangible mountains were pressing towards Link's head.

Link's face was calm and he suffered silently.

His perception ability has already suggested that the pressure he has endured is several times that of other second-level wizards.

However, Link had no intention of hiding his clumsiness, and even wanted to test his own pressure limit.

When the tenth mountain came, Link finally felt a little tired and had to take the initiative to bear the pressure, instead of letting the pressure roll in like before.

Sage Fletcher Domingo keenly felt the strength of the blockage, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly removed all the aura and pressure exerted on Link.

Link's facial expression was very relaxed, not embarrassed, and very calm.

In fact, I secretly exclaimed, almost embarrassed.

Sage Fletcher Domingo finally spoke and said in an unquestionable tone: "Captain, Link Grande. During the mission, everyone listens to him. I will only say it once. In addition, unless If someone of higher level and strength than you takes action, I won’t show up. That’s it, let’s go.”

After the words fell, Sage Fletcher Domingo took the lead in walking into the small cross-border portal.

Although Link never thought he would become captain, he didn't feel flattered or at a loss.

He slowly took a few steps forward, turned around and looked at the remaining 11 wizards, and said calmly: "If anyone is dissatisfied, come to me privately. Now, follow up."

After saying these words, Link also walked into the small cross-border portal.

No one among the remaining 11 wizards, including Lanie Taylor, was dissatisfied!

The name Link Grande is well known not only to the local wizards who are studying in the main academy, but also to most of the children of the big families in the main academy.

Even Sandora Diomande, the only witch in the fourth generation of the Diomande family, did not show off her authority in front of Link Grande.

How dare the children of the big families involved in this mission go against Link?

There's no problem with the logic.

After exiting the small cross-border portal, he came directly to the cockpit of a "Skylark" class interstellar battleship.

This surprised Link slightly.

Not surprisingly, Sage Fletcher Domingo was not on this battleship.

As a fifth-level sage, he leads a team composed of first-level wizards and second-level wizards to perform academy tasks.

After a little thought, one can deduce that this level five sage only serves as an insurance policy.

The 11 team members passed through the portal one after another and came to the cockpit.

With all the personnel present, the "Skylark" class interstellar battleship started on its own and headed towards a certain coordinate.

"Zizzi."

The brain in front of the captain's seat was shaken.

"Each one chooses the position he/she is good at and takes his or her place."

Link gave a seemingly nonsensical order and sat in the captain's seat.

The itinerary of this interstellar voyage is displayed on the smart brain screen.

The route of the "Skylark" class interstellar battleship has been determined long ago, and the battleship is traveling along this route.

The itinerary also told Link that it would take three days to reach his destination.

Then take one day to rest, reconnaissance and layout.

After reading the itinerary, Link flipped through his smart computer and found the detailed instructions for this mission.

"Snipe the foreign pioneer team in Shadow City, restrain the intensity of the attack, focus on grabbing supplies, do not harm the opponent's life, and beware of other forces picking up the missing items."

After browsing the detailed description of the mission, Link extracted the key points.

Suddenly he felt a piece of black cloth surrounding himself, 11 teammates, the Shadow City alien pioneering team and other possible forces.

Behind the black cloth, or elsewhere, a pair of eyes stare closely, and a big hand controls everything.

"This is a game!"

Link sighed in his heart, and then made a decision. The mission was second, and protecting himself was the most important.

Considering that Dean Forrester "suggested" that he accept the call to participate in this mission.

To say that the other party has nothing to do with this game, Link simply doesn't believe it.

Link even suspected that this situation was set up by Dean Forrester.

It’s just that the purpose is unknown.

In this case, there is no need to go all out and kill everyone.

Coming back from his thoughts, Link looked at the various consoles under the captain's seat.

Only 11 teammates were seen, each sitting in front of an operating table in an orderly manner, either familiarizing themselves with the operation or observing the situation.

The division of labor was completed on its own without the need for any command from Link, the captain.

Very good, this is what Link wants.

"Everyone, please check the detailed description of this mission. If you have any ideas, don't be restrained and speak freely."

After thinking about it, Link distributed the mission instructions to the brains of each teammate at the console.

Of course, you cannot carry out tasks in the fog.

Otherwise, wouldn't it make people suspicious and make him a cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at any time?

The 11 team members carefully read the mission instructions and had different thoughts.

For a while, no one said anything.

Seeing this, Link said in a deep voice: "There is nothing to say now, but after that, I can't say anything. Everything obeys my command. Do you have any objections?"

"No."

Lanie Taylor took the next step and took the lead in expressing her stance.

The other 10 wizards responded one after another after a moment of silence.

Thus, command was formalized. (End of chapter)
