wizards start with occlumency

The "Skylark" class interstellar battleship is heading towards the predetermined coordinates.

The Shadow City alien pioneering team finally completed the pioneering and material collection before the deadline.

The wizards returned to their star battleships and prepared to return.

Christina handed over the "valuable" materials she had collected and sat alone in a corner of the battleship, bowing her head in silence.

She had never thought beforehand that she would suddenly receive a call from the upper echelons of Shadow City to participate in the pioneering of another world.

Christina had actually heard some rumors about this special world before setting off.

It is said that the disciple of a ninth-level sage from the sect of the Nostrodam Saint who predicted great changes not seen in thousands of years has a part of the Nostrodam Saint hidden in this special world. Created part of the legacy of the genre.

This was a forcible move made by the saint after he predicted that he would become extinct and the school he created would be lost.

In order to survive the great changes that have not happened in thousands of years, the genre can be revived and reappeared in the world.

Christina smelled a strong atmosphere of conspiracy at that time.

Shadow City has discovered this special world that is said to contain inheritance. According to common sense, it will definitely keep it secret.

How could he behave so poorly and let rumors spread?

Isn't this deliberately inviting covetousness?
Or is the fact that Shadow City discovered this special world itself a trap?
Is it a hooked bait dropped by a wizard organization that wants to lure the City of Shadows into the situation?

Christina was puzzled and at the same time aware of the crisis contained in it.

Just one wrong step and you might die.

Therefore, she hurriedly sent her daughter Garona to Link Grande before setting off.

I hope Link can take good care of her because of the slight friendship between fellow villagers and the fact that Christina is unwilling to admit, but must admit, that Garona has certain research value.

Christina wanted nothing more than for her daughter to thrive.

If possible, Christina was a little greedy and hoped that her daughter would have a smooth and carefree life.

When she thought of her daughter, Christina's mood became even more gloomy.

I don’t know if Garona is doing well now with Link Grande, or whether we can see each other again in this life.

After feeling depressed for a while, Christina cheered up and began to check her status and make preparations for the war.

This foreign exploration lasted for more than a month, and the whole process seemed quite absurd.

The so-called special world obviously does not have anything special, such as the arrangement that prevents mid-level and high-level wizards from entering.

The foreign pioneer team sent by Shadow City this time only consists of 6 first-level wizards and 6 second-level wizards.

Not to mention the sage-level wizard, not even the shadow of the third-level wizard was seen.

Moreover, after setting off, the team members were not informed of the details of the mission before entering a special world - a very small planet.

It wasn't until the alien pioneering team landed on the tiny planet that the captain informed everyone of the mission objectives and requirements.

After hearing this, Christina felt it was ridiculous.

He actually just let them wander around, looking at the items they thought were valuable, and then collected them.

Don't care about anything else.

How does this look like a serious pioneering of another world?

It's all based on intuition, there's no rules at all.

It's like the senior officials of Shadow City just organized a group of wizards to try their luck this time.

If you bump into it, you will find a treasure and be happy.

It doesn't matter if you can't hit it, since the investment is not big anyway.

Even if it was really a trap, it would only result in the loss of a team consisting of 6 first-level wizards and 6 second-level wizards... nothing more.

All kinds of anomalies made Christina's heart tighten all the time.

Moreover, according to her observation, other wizards in the team, including the captain, have similar ideas to her.

For example, now, the battleship is about to return home carrying the team and the collected supplies.

The 12 members of the alien pioneering team were all silently making preparations for the war.

It seemed that everyone believed that the team would encounter an interception.

What the hell is going on?

Mass hysteria?
No.

No one is a fool!
On the surface, the University of Mesobrada has been completely closed, and no entry or exit is allowed.

“What the hell are you doing?
Do you think we are fools?
what?
No wonder you are becoming more and more miserable every year!
If you can't even do a small thing well, if you don't suffer, who will suffer? "

In the principal's office, Dean Frist pointed at Principal Leopold's nose and cursed loudly.

The sound was so loud that it resounded throughout the huge campus.

Everyone, mentors, ordinary wizards, and wizard apprentices, heard it clearly.

Then, soundproofing witchcraft and anti-eavesdropping rune barrier enveloped the principal's office.

The outside world could no longer hear the sounds in the principal's office.

But everyone now knows one thing, that is, the University of Mesobrada has done something unknown, and it has caused trouble to Reversos College again.

So much so that Dean Forrester brazenly broke through the closure of the University of Mesobrada, forced himself to the president's office, and angrily rebuked President Leopold.

For a time, various speculations arose.

The University of Mesobrada, which was supposed to be isolated from the world, instantly became a sieve.

All kinds of rumors and information spread from here.

Extra! Extra!
Dean Forrester of Revelsos College angrily criticized President Leopold of the University of Mesobrada for what on earth?

Count the grievances and grievances between River South College and the University of Mesobrada.

What happened to the former die-hard allies who are now like mortal enemies?We tell today.

The decline of the University of Mesobrada is due to the stabbing in the back by River South College!

Shock!The great sage Soth failed to be promoted because the University of Mesobrada was holding him back!
in the principal's room.

Principal Leopold puffed his beard and stared, very unhappy.

Acting is acting, there's no need to be so ruthless, right?

How will he manage his subordinates in the future?
Wasn't it just that you pretended to be deaf and dumb last time to test it out?

Is this coming back with revenge?
It's really yours, Forrest.

What a great job!

Dean Forrester smiled and sipped the tea soup made from Pu'er and tangerine peel, tasting it with pleasure.

He didn't take Principal Leopold's glare seriously at all.

Silence, silence is the principal's office today. (╯□╰)
After a moment, Principal Leopold broke the silence and asked in a muffled voice: "Forrest, what is the purpose of these things you have done recently? I can't understand it at all?"

"You just can't understand it."

Dean Forrester put down the tea cup and said proudly, "I'm just messing around, understand? Even I don't know the meaning of the arrangements I made recently. In this way, how can other people know? What? Guess as hard as you can."

Principal Leopold could sense that Forrest was telling the truth.

This……

What the hell is going on?

Is there really going to be a game that even the planner himself can't figure out?

Leopold did not believe that Forrest, who was so scheming, would do useless things.

Even if it is just messing around, there must be a deep meaning behind it.

perhaps……

Principal Leopold suddenly thought of a possibility based on his knowledge of Frist and what Frist had just said, "guess as hard as you can."

Although it's a bit outrageous, if you think about it carefully, it actually makes some sense.

Turning to look at Frist, Leopold felt gloomy and didn't know how to express it.

Dean Forrester is also in a state of many thoughts at this moment.

He did not deceive Leopold.

He really didn't know the meaning of the arrangements he had made recently.

After his grandmother, the great sage Sosi, secretly completed the promotion without telling everyone in Michelle District; his eldest brother followed closely and was successfully promoted to the seventh-level great sage.

Frist changed his tactics again.

Everything about providing cover for the University of Mesobrada, a die-hard ally, and about joining forces with the other three top forces in the Michelle District to deal with the Tower of the Great Sage in Michelle, were all thrown aside.

I don't want to play this game anymore.

Frist has only one purpose now, and that is to mess up the situation in Michelle District through constant mischief.

Not to mention turning everything upside down, at least turning it into a mess, so confusing that all the forces have no time to care.

In this way, Riversoth College was able to obtain a better environment, quietly digest this wave of improvements, and then wait for the special "stranger" Iris Clark to pass the test.

At that time, it was time for Revosos Academy to show its talents after completing its promotion.

The small Michelle District was no longer taken seriously by Riversouth College.

Principal Leopold looked at Dean Forrester, who was not hiding his pride at all, and sighed slightly.

There are many things that don’t need to be explained thoroughly, and you can get a rough idea with just a few hints.

Come to think of it, when the great sage of Mesobrada still has not been promoted to the ninth level of great sage, Revosos Academy must have made a breakthrough.

I just don’t know whether this breakthrough should come from the great sage Suosi or the two sixth-level sages who want to be promoted to the great sage.

Or... Principal Leopold instinctively did not want to speculate on that possibility and stopped his reverie in time.

Otherwise, why would Forrest use this method to disrupt the situation and fish in troubled waters.

Fortunately, Riversoth College still values ​​allyship and did not leave the University of Mesobrada behind.

Otherwise, there was no need for Frist to remind him sideways in this way:

Our strategy at Riversoth Academy has changed. Don't be led astray and rush on the previously set path. Moreover, you must hurry up and don't fall behind.

With another faint sigh, Principal Leopold picked up a cup of tea and drank it all.

I hope that the University of Mesobrada can be like this cup of tea, which will bring joy after all the hardships.

Don't be left behind.

Otherwise, allies?
vassal!

in the starry sky.

This is the star field where the special world discovered in Shadow City is located.

In addition to the star battleships of Riversoth Academy and the star battleships of Shadow City, there are also star battleships of two organizations sailing among them.

Inferred from their respective routes, the targets are all at the same predetermined coordinates.

If nothing unexpected happens, the battleships of the four wizard organizations will arrive near the coordinates one after another.

At that time, a melee set by certain means, or rules, will naturally break out.

The subsequent "drama" will continue to unfold.

Link just wanted to cause some surprises.

There are many people who are willing to be chess pieces and have the consciousness of chess pieces. They follow the chess player's control and play wherever the chess player tells them, without ever overstepping.

These people do not include Link.

He has always pursued freedom and does not want to be a puppet.So this time, Link made some calculations from all aspects, and after finding that he had a good margin for self-expression, he decided to be willful and do something.

As long as it does not affect the execution of the mission, I think the academy player or those chess players standing behind the scenes will not be punished.

It's okay if the law doesn't prohibit it.

"Increase the speed and modify the route."

Sitting in the captain's seat, Link gave the tower spirit a brand new command after careful consideration.

This order was not only surprising to the 11 team members, but also to Sage Fletcher Domingo, who had been hiding in the dark.

What do you want to do when you suddenly come out like this?
"Warning! Warning! This command does not comply with the preset settings of this voyage mission."

The tower spirit did not accept the instruction immediately, but instead issued a reminder.

Link had expected this when he saw the battleship automatically set off after the team arrived.

However, regardless of the mission preset, Link issued the same instruction again: "Increase the speed and modify the route."

"warn!……"

Just when the tower spirit started with "warning" for the second time and replied to Link.

Link suddenly turned the brain over on the captain's seat and pressed a red button on the back.

Generally speaking, this button will not be used.

Once used, the star battleship will be idle for a long time.

For example, like now, the internal lights, facilities, equipment, and engines of the "Skylark" class star battleship were suddenly shut down.

Even the star battleship itself lost power and gradually slowed down after the engine suddenly shut down.

Link actually directly activated the emergency method and manually unloaded the star battleship's tower spirit with the authority of the captain!
Make you talk more shit.

After a while, the interstellar battleship's emergency measures were successfully activated.

The backup tower spirit comes online and takes over the battleship.

The lights turned on one after another, and various facilities and equipment resumed operation.

The engines restarted, generating thrust and increasing the battleship's speed.

The smart brain screen on the console where the 11 team members were sitting, the smart brain screen in front of Link, and the huge main screen directly in front of the cockpit all lit up at the same time.

Data and instructions one by one flooded the screen like a waterfall.

Link's actions didn't end there.

The fingers of his hands flew around, outputting one command after another on the smart brain screen that had just turned on.

At the same time, Link also used a brain-machine link to directly take over the highest authority of the backup tower spirit and continue to "flash the machine".

All the presets made by the academy, controlling the backhand, were cleared by Link in turn.

All the permissions of the Star Battleship, even flushing the bathroom, are taken over by Link personally, leaving no omissions.

The 11 team members did not receive any hint from Link and encountered a sudden change. Even if they had opinions in their hearts, no one jumped out to question Link's operation at this time.

Sage Fletcher Domingo made it very clear that during the mission, everything will be under the command of Link Grande.

Captain Link Grande also gave them a chance to express their thoughts.

A fifth-level sage led the team, and a captain whose combat power was comparable to a third-level wizard. Although neither of them issued a threat, their underlying meanings were clear.

No matter what you want to say, you can only say it if I give you a chance; if I don’t give you a chance, don’t talk nonsense.

Otherwise, I will kill you.

That's roughly what it means.

Not long after, under the watchful eyes of 11 team members with different ideas, Link completed the four-step operation he had planned before:
Uninstall the tower spirit, activate the backup tower spirit, "refresh" the backup tower spirit, and take over all authority of the battleship.

In this way, Link truly took control of this "Skylark" class star battleship and became a true captain.

Rather than a puppet who has the name of captain but no captain's rights.

All the programs preset by the academy have been discarded, and this "Skylark" class interstellar battleship can no longer be remotely controlled.

These are the knowledge and methods that Link learned in the process of learning alchemy and refining the Brood Warship.

Once used, it gave Link the initiative.

Knowledge alters your fate.

After manually inputting the new sailing speed, route, and target, Link took his hands and eyes away from the smart brain screen, looked at the 11 team members, and looked at them one by one.

After a moment, Link asked in a deep voice: "Does anyone have any questions? Say whatever you want. I will answer those who can."

Lanny Taylor was the first to stand up and said while facing the gazes of other team members: "I think if the captain has any ideas about this mission, he can tell us frankly. Communicate well in advance. If something happens, you can deal with it as soon as possible." work together, rather than being scattered and without unity.”

"Yeah. Good suggestion."

Link nodded, "Do you think so too?"

"agree."

"agree."

Voices of agreement rang out one after another.

The remaining 10 team members, whether they were first-level wizards or second-level wizards, all reviewed Lani's opinion.

"I have no idea."

Facing everyone's attention, Link said calmly: "So far, I don't have much idea about this mission itself. Because the situation is unknown."

After a pause, Link asked: "Does any of you know the background and purpose of this mission?"

No one answered.

College recruitment is different from individual recruitment.

The former is mandatory and can be taken up to 2 times per year, while the latter is optional in both directions.

In the 12-person team, except for Link who was recruited by both the academy and Fletcher Domingo the Sage, the others were all recruited by the academy.

Therefore, even if the task description is unclear, everyone has no choice but to bite the bullet.

After boarding the battleship, I finally got the mission details distributed by Link.

After reading it, I also found that there was not much useful information in it.

And there are some amusing limitations.

For example, you can't attack too harshly and you can't hurt the lives of the wizards in Shadow City.

This is fucking outrageous.

To carry out a sneak attack, you actually have to tie yourself up and not hurt others easily.

What if the other party was cruel and he was killed?

There is nowhere to cry.

Therefore, as the captain, Link dared to withstand pressure, "go against" the academy's original intention, and do something.

These team members are very supportive, no matter whether the things they do can work or not.

But they really didn't know the background and purpose of the mission, so they could only remain silent.

"Don't know?"

Link waited for a while and when no one spoke, he smiled and said, "I don't know either!"

Needless to say, everyone else understood what Link meant.

Since the academy was vague and did not explain clearly, they could naturally adapt to the situation according to the situation.

Anyway, the prerequisite for completing the mission is to protect yourself.

After secretly unifying the thoughts of the whole team and reaching a tacit understanding among themselves, Link began to officially perform his duties as captain, presiding over the team members' mutual introductions, division of labor into teams, formulation of tactics, and plan rehearsals.

Three days of sailing, one day of preparation, and four days were enough to assemble a makeshift team into a combat force.

This is the biggest characteristic of the wizards trained by Riversouth Academy.

Two and a half days passed quickly.

The "Skylark" class interstellar battleship arrived at its new destination half a day early after making a jump.

This is a meteorite belt specially selected by Link based on the star map.

Link parked the star battleship behind the meteorite belt and activated the full-power stealth function.

He also ordered 11 team members to take six shuttles and hide them in various places in the meteorite belt.

The meteorite belt is only 10 minutes away from the original coordinates of the academy at the fastest speed of the shuttle.

Whether you are advancing or retreating, fighting or retreating, it is very convenient.

After making these preparations, Link was alone and without anything on board. He directly activated his natal witchcraft, put on the interstellar survival mode stealth armor, and lurked towards the original coordinates of the academy.

"Flander."

At the same time, Link's heart called out.

"Okay, sir."

Flandre responded sweetly, came out of the "small world", and explored the surrounding area with Link as the center.

After the fourth evolution of "Small World" was truly completed, Flandre's ability to transform virtual reality has improved.

Link has tested that even if the reconnaissance system of the Sage-class Legion Starfleet main-class battleship is operating at full power, it will not be able to detect the hidden Flandre in a short period of time.

Therefore, Flandre's role as a scout is perfect now.

The two of them searched and marched, constantly approaching the original coordinates of the academy.

Sage Fletcher Domingo, who was hiding in the dark and had been following the team, didn't understand the meaning of Link's arrangement.

As the captain, you leave the team and act alone. What do you want to do?
What does Link want to do?
He just wanted to use his superior combat power, high mobility, and flexible Flandre reverse summon to do a close reconnaissance to find out which forces would be involved in this incident.

If you have the chance, try to see if you can steal the supplies quietly.

If it really doesn't work, you still need to fight hard, or you can know yourself and the enemy, choose tactics calmly, and direct the battle.

"Master, master, what do you think Flandre found?"

Flandre's slightly excited voice sounded in Link's heart.

Before she finished speaking, Flandre had already taken the initiative to share her vision.

A familiar main ship appeared in front of Link's eyes.

It is the main ship of the three-point wizard Weiner who was once stabbed in the butt by Link.

"The Flame and Metal Trading Company has arrived, will the White Tower Alliance be far behind? Will the University of Mesobrada come?"

Link thought and asked Flandre to ignore the main ship for the time being and continue to expand the reconnaissance range.

He himself also increased his stealth intensity and became more careful while traveling.

After a while, Flandre found a strange battleship belonging to the White Tower Alliance in another place suitable for hiding.

After continuing to search for a while, no trace of the Mesobrada University's battleship was found.

I don’t know if he hasn’t arrived yet, or if he hasn’t gotten involved yet.

Link ignored it for the time being and carefully recalled the original coordinates of the academy, the respective positions of the Flame and Metal Trading Company battleship, and the White Tower Alliance battleship.

It was found that the three warships were on a semicircular arc line, blocking the three directions of 12 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and 6 o'clock.

In other words, the three warships joined forces to set up a pocket array.

Just wait for the Shadow City alien pioneer team to come to your door.

Then take a bite! (End of chapter)
