wizards start with occlumency

Chapter 418 Restraint
"You're a little anxious."

When the transportation vehicle stopped at the edge of the cross-border portal, Master Xu Jing suddenly spoke.

"How to say?"

Link's movement to open the car door stopped.

"There's no need to be so urgent about many things, even if you desperately want to do it. Give yourself some time, take your time, don't panic."

Master Xu Jing's voice was as gentle as ever, but to Link's ears, it sounded unprecedentedly sincere.

This was the first time that Link felt such sincere emotions and such sincere treatment from Master Xu Jing.

No calculations, no other intentions.

I just care about him and want to give him a good suggestion.

Bang.

Link closed the door, turned to look at Heavenly Master Xu Jing, and asked with the same serious attitude: "Master Xu Jing, tell me the truth, do you really think I am qualified not to be so anxious?"

Master Xu Jing was silent.

Link then said: "Lotus Snow, my cheap brother, the reincarnation of the Saint of Nostromo, the prophecy made before the destruction has now come true, and the great changes that have not happened in thousands of years have come true. Arrival. The wizard civilization is opening up the universe where the fairy civilization is located, and the fairy civilization is opening up the universe where the wizard civilization is. The demon civilization, the mortal enemy of the fairy civilization, will not accept it, and the god civilization, the mortal enemy of the wizard civilization, will not sit still and wait for death. An unprecedented catastrophe is coming. , war, endless war, war with unlimited intensity is coming. I have been dormant for nearly three years and cannot continue to dormant and miss many development opportunities. "

After a pause, Link added: "I don't know what the Heavenly Master's Mansion is planning, I don't know what the Heavenly Court's plans are, I don't know what the Supreme Council is thinking about, and I don't want to know. I only know that even if there is an 'established Destiny is waiting for me, I can't resist it, I have to face it."

"Well……"

Heavenly Master Xu Jing pondered for a while and said, "You really don't need to know this, you just need to be yourself. However, there is no harm in taking it slow."

"is it?"

Link was noncommittal.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Master Xu Jing had nothing else to say, Link opened the door and got out of the car.

The meeting time with the west coast elemental wizard saint had been agreed upon through the Medici sage long ago.

The time is coming, we can't miss the appointment.

Heavenly Master Xu Jing did not delay and had no intention of getting out of the car.

When Link saw this, he looked back, closed the car door, and walked to the agreed place alone.

The agreed location was a seaside villa.

I don’t know why, so many people like to build villas in mountains, forests, cliffs and seaside for vacation.

From the bottom of his heart, Link also wanted to own one or several such vacation buildings.

I have been busy for a long time in my life. It’s time to relax and combine work and rest.

As for the cloud villa that I longed for in the past, maybe because I have flown a lot and sailed in space a lot, I don’t like it that much.

Before entering the villa, Link actually didn't know who he was about to meet.

He never thought that the one who came to see him would be the Elemental Saint himself.

"Link Grande has seen the Saint."

After a brief moment of shock, Link immediately greeted him according to etiquette.

"Wizard Grande, no need to be polite, sit down."

The elemental saint was very kind and pointed to the seat in front of him.

"Thank you, saint."

Link opened the chair and sat down.

The etiquette must be good, but there is no need to just sit and pull your butt.

Whatever is comfortable and appropriate is what Link will do.

"Master Xu Jing won't come up?"

The elemental saint asked casually, "Can we sit down and have a cup of tea together?"

Link replied calmly: "That is Master Xu Jing's own business, I can't interfere."

"Yeah, too."

The Elemental Saint chuckled and agreed with Link's statement.

Afterwards, the Elemental Saint ended the greetings and got to the point first: "Medici told me that wizard Link Grande wanted to meet and chat with someone under the Elemental Saint who could manage things. I'm quite curious, Grande. If the wizard wants to talk about something, he comes to see Grand Wizard in person.”

"I see."

Link looked like he suddenly understood, and then said, "I don't know if I should talk to the saint directly, or if I talk to the person designated by the saint after meeting him."

"Just talk to me."

The elemental saint smiled, his attitude was very kind, and he had no airs.

"Well……"

Link pondered for a while, organized his words, and said bluntly, "Since the Saint has spoken, I will speak directly. I am here for the attack on the advance team of Revosos College from the Tower of the Great Sage Michael. .”

"Is this the case?"

The smile on the elemental saint's face did not fade at all, and he asked, "This has already happened, and it happened for its own reason. I wonder if Grand Wizard has any doubts, or is there anything he wants to question?"

"I don't dare to question, I just have some questions."

After hearing this, Link expressed his attitude first, and then asked, "As far as I know, the wizard Frist Diomande, the dean of our Riversoth College and the leader of the parallel universe pioneer group, learned about Michelle in advance. The Great Sage secretly accepted funding from the Immortal Civilization Tianting. He was suspected of betraying the Wizarding Civilization and the Supreme Council, and was extremely likely to launch an attack on the advance team. After these news, he immediately communicated internally with the Parallel Universe Office of the Supreme Council. The person in charge made a briefing. However..."

At this point, Link paused and glanced at the elemental saint's face.

Even though I know that wizards, especially high-level wizards, can control them as much as possible or even completely when they face middle- and low-level wizards, whether it's their faces or their eyes.

True thoughts and true emotions cannot be revealed from eyes and facial expressions.

Unless the wizard is in the "transformation period" when a formal wizard is promoted to a sage-level wizard.

But Link still made such an action, for reasons he still doesn’t know.

nervous?

Maybe.

After all, strictly speaking, this is the first time that Link has had close contact with a saint-level figure and had a more in-depth exchange of topics.

There was no doubt that what Link saw was the unchanged face of the Elemental Saint.

Still kind, still smiling, still listening carefully to Link's words.

Link calmed down and continued: "However, the response of the Supreme Council's office in the parallel universe has completely disappointed all of us in the advance team of Riversoth College."

"disappointment?"

The Elemental Saint interrupted Link at this time and asked in confusion, "The office of the Supreme Council in the Parallel Universe, or to put it more directly, what should the Supreme Council do to satisfy Riversoth College? I will listen to your words and directly Controlled the Great Sage Michel at that time? Or intercepted the actions of the Great Sage Michel's Tower against Reversoth College?"

Link replied decisively: "Of course we will intercept first and then investigate. If what we report is true, we will then take action against the Great Sage Michelle himself."

"Well..." The Elemental Saint pondered and said after a moment, "What you said makes sense, but the Supreme Council cannot do that at that time."

"why?"

Link followed the Elemental Saint's words and asked directly.

"Ha ha……"

With a chuckle, the Elemental Saint suppressed all the smiles on his face and said seriously, "In the eyes of the Supreme Council, if Michelle can be successfully promoted with the support of the immortal civilization, even if it is a successful promotion after transferring to another training , and its value is greater than River South College combined.”

"But Great Sage Michelle had essentially betrayed the wizarding civilization and the Supreme Council at that time."

When he said this, Link's face was full of incomprehensible "innocence" and "simpleness".

Like a child who doesn't understand the world.

Well……

Strictly speaking, the total number of years that Link had lived in the two lifetimes that he could remember was not a fraction of the age of the elemental saint in front of him.

In front of the Elemental Saint, Link is truly a child.

Similarly, in the face of the life experience of the Elemental Saint, no matter how "simple" and "innocent" Link is, it can be established.

It was based on this mentality that Link just decided to seize the opportunity that came by chance and ask some questions thoroughly.

In this way, on the one hand, I can give an explanation to Riversouth College, the advance group, and the four combined legions; on the other hand, I can also provide some reference and guidance for my next actions.

After listening to Link's "simple" and "innocent" words, a smile appeared on the elemental saint's face again, and he pointedly said: "Who can be sure that Michelle had betrayed the wizarding civilization and the Supreme Council at that time? Who told you that Michelle had betrayed the wizarding civilization and the Supreme Council?"

These two questions actually did not surprise Link.

However, the psychological impact on Link was still extraordinary.

It can only be said that Michelle's acceptance of funding from the Immortal Civilization Heavenly Court involves too many things. Link's status and level are too low at the moment, so he can only get a glimpse of it, but cannot know the whole picture.

Many times, the information gap is the most fatal point.

Link took a deep breath and did not let his thoughts develop in the direction of doubting Heavenly Master Xu Jing and the Heavenly Master's Mansion, following the Elemental Saint's instructions.

It’s not that Link has much trust in Heavenly Master Xu Jing and the Heavenly Master’s Palace, nor does it mean that Link trusts Heavenly Master Xu Jing and the Heavenly Master’s Palace more than he trusts the Elemental Saints and the Supreme Council.

But now, Link just wants to believe in himself.

After a moment of silence, Link's voice became slightly hoarse: "So, in the eyes of the Supreme Council, the casualties of the Reversos College advance team and the loss of the Tower of the Great Sage Michelle are acceptable prices. ?for……"

After a pause, Link slowly closed his eyes: "For the greater good?"

"For the greater good."

The Elemental Saint responded calmly, with no waves in his tone and no waves in his eyes.

“Whose greater good?”

Link opened his eyes and asked seriously.

"Your greater good, my greater good, the greater good of the High Council, the greater good of wizarding civilization."

Pointing at Link, then at himself, and then pointing in all directions, the Elemental Saint answered Link's question in a more serious manner.

Link opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed it.

He wanted to ask, does the greater benefit of wizard civilization not include those wizards who sacrificed their lives needlessly in the battle against Reversoth College's advance group from the Tower of the Great Sage Michael?
The word "sacrifice" was the main reason for Link to swallow his words.

If you want to get something, you have to pay the price.

This principle has been implemented from beginning to end in the wizard education of various wizard forces in wizard civilization.

The same goes for River South College.

The same goes for Link's thoughts.

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

Link didn't feel that he had the qualifications to accuse anything or whom.

I met with the Elemental Saint today and asked so many questions that seemed to be for the wizards who had sacrificed their lives and to fight for the injustice of the Reversos Academy advance team who had suffered heavy losses. In fact, it was out of selfish motives.

"After asking these questions, do you feel better?"

After glancing at Link who was hesitant to speak, the Elemental Saint spoke calmly, easily discerning Link's intentions.

"It's still a little worse."

Link spoke frankly about his state.

Yes, he asked those questions just now, all he wanted was to smooth his mind.

Don't let the sacrifices of the four combined armies and the casualties of the River South College advance team linger in your heart and turn into a shadow, affecting your own improvement.

Ultimately, Link is an extremely selfish person.

If it weren't for Jasmine's appearance, if it weren't for Jasmine's persistence, if it weren't for Jasmine's dedication, if it weren't for Jasmine's persistence time and time again, the further Link goes on the path of being a wizard, the more emotions he might have lost.

The whole person will become more indifferent.

In order to achieve your goals, you can sacrifice anything.

Just like Michelle, in order to prolong life and advance to sainthood, everything in Michelle's Tower of Sage, whether people or objects, is a tool that can be used and discarded in his eyes.

Suddenly, Link remembered the words of Heavenly Master Xu Jing, "Today's Heavenly Master Michelle stumbled when he took this step."

When I got off the car earlier, those reminders from Heavenly Master Xu Jing also came into my mind.

"You're a little anxious."

"There's no need to be so urgent about many things, even if you desperately want to do it. Give yourself some time, take your time, don't panic."

"There's no harm in taking it slow."

Thinking back on these words now, Link's feelings were completely different from those at the time.

Link Ruo realized something.

Looking at Link who suddenly fell into enlightenment, and looking at the faint light emanating from Link's body, the Elemental Saint smiled.

Once this happened, it would be in vain for him to take the time to come and meet this little guy Link Grande in person.

The elemental saint raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and lightly touched the faint light that even a ninth-level great sage might not be able to see.

Then, the elemental saint stood up and walked outside.

While walking around, the Elemental Saint created an environment for Link that was extremely suitable for enlightenment without any fuss.

The Elemental Saint himself quickly came outside the villa, knocked on the car window, signaled the faint light on his hand to Master Xu Jing who was sitting in the car, and then disappeared.

Heavenly Master Xu Jing saw clearly the faint light on the hands of the Elemental Saint and did not panic at all.

You have Yangguan Road, I have a single-plank bridge.

Who will achieve the goal first? Let’s talk about it.
We'll see.
