Chapter 248: Mission: Impossible?
"How do you say that?"
Wizard Serin immediately turned his head and asked.
Everyone in the conference room looked at Wizard Cody.
The atmosphere inadvertently became a little complicated.
Everyone is waiting to see what reasons this former Kodi wizard, the original leader of the Paro Sage line, will give.
Nervousness, anticipation, solemnity, all kinds of emotions lingered in the hearts of everyone.
At this moment, it seems that we have reached a watershed in the relationship between the Cody wizard line and the Paro sage line, who were once close and inseparable.
What Wizard Cody said next, if he was objecting for the sake of objecting, the situation would become very complicated.
Link remembered Tiffany's reply last night, reminding him to pay attention to Wizard Cody's movements.
For a moment, I couldn't help but have my mind wandering around, repeatedly trying to figure out Wizard Cody's psychology.
With everyone paying attention, Wizard Cody Youyou said: "I think we should prepare two aspects of materials at the same time. At this juncture, don't be busy splitting up and living separately. The magic stones and materials in my name are all Bring it over and use it here first."
Wizard Seren was not overjoyed because of Wizard Cody's statement.
She asked solemnly, "What about your legion?"
"Cool."
Wizard Cody leaned back and said in a lazy tone, "No matter what, when I am successfully promoted, the college will assign me a legion. The worst that can happen is to learn from Paro, command a miscellaneous legion, and then slowly reorganize and train it."
After a pause, Wizard Cody emphasized: "He can cut down the expenses of building the legion just to recuperate me, but I can't Will you repay me?"
Everyone in the gathering breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Wizard Cody say this.
Instead of adding insult to injury, take the opportunity to break up and separate the relationship.
After feeling relieved, many people felt that their worries just now were purely nonsense.
Wizard Cody is not a fool. How could he do something stupid before the Paro Sage Legion encountered a real life and death crisis?
Concern leads to chaos, care leads to chaos.
Many people think this way to justify their unreasonable worries.
Link intuitively felt that Wizard Cody's reason for objecting to only preparing witchcraft and supplies for interstellar combat was not that simple, but there was no evidence.
Therefore, I can only keep it in mind and explore it later when I have time.
Wizard Serling accepted Wizard Cody's statement and sincerely thanked him: "Then I'll trouble you, Cody." "
That's right."
Wizard Cody waved his hand, signaling Wizard Serling not to be polite to him and not to take him for granted. outsider.
The next step of the meeting is to focus on raising two aspects of materials.
Link listened to the whole process without interrupting.
When it comes to raising supplies, Link lacks both connections and channels.
The meeting didn't drag on and on.
Add one piece from beginning to end, no more than half an hour, end neatly, and execute decisively.
Wizard Cody didn't stay long and left as soon as the meeting was over.
Wizard Seren signaled, but Link didn't leave in a hurry and stayed.
"Cody has changed."
Moving to the living room, Wizard Seren asked the smart butler to bring a cup of freshly brewed green tea to Link. He liked it more and more as he drank. Later, he also made additional milk tea according to his own preferences and sighed quietly.
Link did not answer this sentence and just drank tea.
Wizard Serin didn't care and asked instead: "Didn't you tell Jasmine to come and help me yesterday? Where is the person?" "
She is in good condition. I sent her to practice in the secret realm."
Link did not tell the truth and gave The explanation is not deceptive.
Jasmine was indeed in good condition, and her mastery of various knowledge was very good. What she lacked was mental strength, magic power, and experience in fighting a first-level wizard.
The official wizard-level practice secret realm can not only quickly increase spiritual power and magic power, but also simulate combat and improve experience.
"You are so willing to give up."
Wizard Serin sighed with envy.
This was top-notch treatment that she had never enjoyed back then.
"She helped me a lot, it's just a normal reward."
Link explained the reason why he gave Jasmine the official wizard-level practice secret realm to use, and never mentioned that he no longer needed to enter the secret practice realm.
"Forget it, I won't meddle in your affairs."
Wizard Serin waved his hand, took a sip of milk tea, and returned to the topic: "What do you think of these people who came today? Especially Cody. Don't be taboo, Say whatever you want."
"Want to hear the truth?"
Link pondered for a while and asked tentatively.
"Of course it's the truth."
Wizard Seren rolled her eyes at Link.
I don't know why, under the worry, Wizard Serling's charm not only did not diminish, but became more and more exciting.
Fortunately, the person sitting opposite her was Link, a gentleman who could use Occlumency to control his mind.
If it had been anyone else, they would have immediately fallen under the pomegranate skirt of Wizard Serin and allowed him to drive him around.
Link solemnly said: "The truth is, relying on them, we can't save Sage Paro."
"Alas..."
Wizard Serin let out a long sigh.
How could she not know this fact?
The capable manpower is already in the legion.
Wizard Cody's thoughts are unclear now. Even if he is willing to really make a big rescue, he will not be able to play much role in the transformation stage.
"Over there at the academy..."
Halfway through his words, Wizard Serin closed his mouth again and did not continue.
Link didn't have to listen to the entire story to roughly guess what Wizard Seren wanted to express.
It's just that the academy doesn't pay too much attention to the fact that the Paro Sage Legion is besieged by the Abyss Demon.
There are more than 200 sage-level legions in the entire River South College, local + headquarters, in the college establishment.
There are more than a hundred battlefields in the heavens opened at the same time.
Almost every month there is news of one or two losses.
If any sage army encounters some setbacks, the college will rush to rescue, so what use does the college need these sage armies?
The formation of these sage legions is itself used to expand territory, and no matter how bad it is, it is also used to guard the important resource world.
It is impossible to put the cart before the horse and use the academy to protect the Legion of Sages.
Unless the sage army in trouble is really in danger of destruction, or the benefits are too great, emergency rescue will be dispatched.
The Paro Sage Legion had just been besieged by the Abyss Demons, and the portal to the rear camp was destroyed, but it did not mean that the connection with the academy was completely cut off.
Being able to send news back through special channels proves that the end is not yet reached and that one can try to break through on one's own or even counterattack.
Wizard Serin actually knows these truths.
But those are just principles. Wizard Seren is not cold-blooded and rational enough to think that it makes sense, so he doesn't care.
"Go and do your work."
Wizard Serin felt depressed and did not leave Link alone.
"Call me anytime if you have anything, and I will come here every day to see where I can contribute."
Link stood up, left a message, and left Wizard Seren's North District villa.
He drove directly to Grand Pharmacy, took stock of recent accounts and pharmaceutical reserves, and then went to the pharmacy laboratory on the second floor.
Instead of starting the work of developing and refining potions, he took out his brain and ordered a batch of intelligent reconnaissance puppets with cross-border communication capabilities.
They are available in various sizes, including land, sea and air, and various reconnaissance modes.
A lot of magic stones were spent.
After that, Link began to check the information, trying to find a precedent of two doorways similar to cross-border portals appearing next to the origin of the "small world".
Unfortunately, there is very little information about this area. Even if I find a few words, the amount of information is not much.
It's better than nothing, but actually no progress has been made.
Putting the matter aside for the moment, Link informed Buck and Lynn to come over.
Not long after, the two people rushed over from the senior college.
"Boss, what's the matter?"
In the group of friends, Buck's personality became more and more out-of-the-box, and Linn became more and more calm. Gradually, the identity of the external spokesperson and the public boss was transferred to Linn.
It was Lin En who made the inquiry this time.
"How is the collection of depleted magic stones going?"
Ever since he learned about the energy storage device and its function, Link asked "Freedom to Do Anything" to acquire depleted magic stones that had used up their magic power.
Originally it was only used to provide energy for the "Tissot", but now there are two more black door openings, so it is natural to increase the acquisition efforts.
"The standard level one is more than 5,000, and the standard level two is more than 900."
Lin En reported a less than ideal number, and then explained, "Academies, major families, the black market, and some organizations all purchase depleted magic stones. We can’t engage in a price war, and acquisitions are still difficult.”
The common price war is to sell at a low price, which is profitable.
Purchasing the depleted magic stone at a high price, even if it has legitimate uses, is a pure fool's behavior.
Link was not eager for quick success, but just ordered: "Those that have been acquired will be sent to the lakeside villa in the afternoon. When we return, we will mobilize more manpower, especially in the West District." "
Understood."
Lin En knew that the boss must have something going on and needed to use a large amount of depleted magic stones, so he agreed immediately without any hesitation.
After thinking about it, Lin En asked tentatively: "Should we give those five more quotas?"
The so-called quotas are actually the "goblin" potion.
A single tree does not make a forest. There are only five low-level gangsters, and they can at most "dominate" one or two remote streets in the West District.
Dare to go to a densely populated place with a little oil and water, and the five gangsters didn't know how they died.
They only improved their wizard qualifications, but did not immediately increase their strength.
"Okay."
Link happened to also want to try the newly optimized "Fairy" potion.
After thinking about it, I decided to use the "empowerment" potion to do some cases and collect some data.
Then he said: "Tell them that I still have a potion on hand that can improve their strength in a short period of time. The price is that the potential is consumed too much and the future limit is extremely low." "It's an advantage for them." Buck on
the
side He suddenly said, "They have no future at all. They would love to improve their strength."
This is the truth.
Link didn't answer and signaled Buck and Linn to carry out these two tasks.
After walking around in the potion laboratory for a while, Link thought about the premonition that Jasmine mentioned yesterday.
This thing is really strange.
Until now, Link himself had no intuition or premonition in this regard.
"Is it possible that it will be transferred again?"
As he was thinking wildly, his portable brain began to vibrate.
The ordered cross-border intelligent reconnaissance puppet has been delivered to the North District villa, and the housekeeper Hamid accepted it on his behalf.
Link left Grand Pharmacy and drove back to his villa.
Instructing the butler Hamid to send the cross-border intelligent reconnaissance puppet to the witchcraft laboratory on the third underground floor, Link activated the highest level protection mode of the villa.
"Flandre, start working."
After bringing a total of 20 cross-border intelligent reconnaissance puppets of different sizes into the "small world", Link sat upright and prepared.
"Okay, sir."
In "Small World", Flandre moved the cross-border intelligent reconnaissance puppet next to the source, in front of the black door.
These puppets have been automatically divided into two groups, with 10 in each group.
Flandre put on holographic glasses that linked the 10 reconnaissance puppets on the left, held a special brain, and controlled the reconnaissance puppets to enter the black door on the left one by one.
With "Tissot" in hand, Link must always keep the depletion magic stone, and use the energy storage device to convert it into energy storage magic stone during interstellar voyages.
Acquisition through "freedom to do anything" is just one of the channels. After the manufacturer of the "Hummingbird" class star battleship sent the energy storage device, Link went to the wizard Seren to exchange for a batch of depletion magic stones.
What supplies the black doorway on the left at this moment is the energy storage magic stone transformed from this batch of depleted magic stones.
The source power of "Small World" is too precious, don't waste it unless necessary.
Link shares Flandre's vision and is ready to take action at any time to deal with unknown emergencies.
10 reconnaissance puppets send back real-time images in turn.
I saw that the black doorway on the left connected to it was a vague space without a frame of reference.
Some traces of the battle can be vaguely seen, a few unmelted limbs of the Abyss Demon, and the remains of a large and complex high-level rune array.
"Master, this place is similar to the boundary wall of the 'Small World'."
Flandre spoke aloud in Link's heart while controlling 10 reconnaissance puppets to spread out for reconnaissance, trying to find other clues.
"It's not like this, this is the boundary wall of a certain world."
Link had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't say it out before he was sure.
"Oh! Really?"
Flandre tilted her head and asked curiously, "But how can the 'small world' be connected with the boundary walls of other worlds. Master, what is going on?" "For the time being
. Not sure yet."
Link replied, "Flando, let these 10 reconnaissance puppets move freely, and report back if you make important discoveries. You control the other 10 puppets and enter the doorway on the right." "Okay, sir.
"
Flandre responded with a sweet voice, and after a few operations, she switched to a pair of holographic glasses and a special brain, and controlled another 10 reconnaissance puppets to enter the black door.
"My lady is right, I just like to show off."
While controlling, Flandre pouted her little mouth and murmured.
This time, it was not speaking from the depths of Link's heart, but directly speaking it out.
It was as if Link couldn't hear it this way.
"Flando, I heard you."
Link suppressed a smile and reminded him gently.
"Just listen when you hear it. Isn't Flandre right? The master just likes to show off."
Flandre's big eyes flickered and she was confident.
Link was speechless.
Soon, the real-time images of these 10 reconnaissance puppets were transmitted back.
The first thing that caught Link's eyes was the familiar emerald green.
"Sure enough, these two doorways are connected to the fairy world."
After repeated confirmations, Link no longer held back and revealed his guess.
"Eh? This is indeed the fairy world!"
Although Flandre did not appear in the fairy world, she watched the scenery of the "outside world" through Link's vision when Link was performing a reconnaissance mission deep behind enemy lines.
I still have some understanding of the landforms and features of the fairy world.
After Link reminded him, he immediately recognized it.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Flandre asked excitedly, "Do you want Flandre to go over and investigate the situation?" "
No rush, let the reconnaissance puppet investigate the surrounding situation clearly first."
Link rejected the playful Flandre's suggestion and decided to play it safe.
"Okay."
Flandre pouted and agreed.
After the third upgrade of "Small World", Flandre became less and less restrained in expressing her emotions.
For Link, this is a good thing.
From the beginning to the end, Link never treated Flandre as an artificially intelligent tower spirit.
Instead, treat Flandre as a real human being.
Even Flandre's original appearance is more like an elf like a flower fairy.
"Flando, just keep an eye on it and tell me if you find anything."
After confirming that there was no danger, Link was not prepared to stay any longer.
He had other important matters to attend to.
"Go, go."
Flandre actually murmured in a slightly disgusted tone, "The master and his wife are right, the master is a homeless person. Alas, the poor master and his wife stay alone every night Empty bed, so lonely!"
Link was speechless after hearing this.
How many bad things did Jasmine say about him?
Aren't you afraid of leading Flandre astray?
"Naughty."
Concentrating his mental strength, he tapped Flandre's little head gently, and Link terminated the real-time contact with the "small world".
The aggrieved Flandre was left behind, putting aside her intelligence and covering her head with her hands, and continued to monitor the fairy world opposite the doorway on the right.
After leaving the witchcraft laboratory on the third underground floor and coming to the study, Link carefully considered it for nearly half an hour before gritting his teeth and making a decision.
He picked up his portable computer and sent an interview application to the dean, whom he had only met once.
This operation is quite risky.
A person of the dean's level is like a star in the sky, with a strong gravitational pull that can capture and gather all kinds of people and events.
In previous astronomy, this phenomenon was described as the "Roche limit".
If Link had too much contact with the dean, he would be like those small stars, being randomly captured when passing by large stars, and getting involved in one trouble after another.
However, Link thought it was necessary to take this risk.
Many things, the more I think about them, the more I feel something is wrong.
Not long after, the dean replied to Link and asked him to go to the dean's office now.
Link didn't dare to delay and immediately drove as fast as possible to the administrative building of the Senior Academy.
He drove the "Phantom Coupe" to 8 times the speed of sound.
If it weren't for the academy's regulations, the maximum speed of private transportation vehicles is 8 times the speed of sound. Link maximized the performance of the "Phantom Coupe" and could drive at 12 times the speed of sound!
A third-level witchcraft-level transportation vehicle, a privately customized version, is not simply used for transportation.
How many first-level wizards spend their entire lives unable to save enough magic stones to buy a "Phantom Coupe".
"Dong, dong, dong."
In just ten minutes, Link arrived outside the dean's office and knocked on the door gently.
"Come in."
The dean's highly recognizable magnetic baritone voice came out.
"Hello, Dean."
Link pushed the door in, walked to the desk, and greeted politely.
"sit."
The dean stretched out his hand to gesture to the chair with a warm attitude, "What do you want from me? Don't be restrained and be natural." "
Yes."
Link agreed with a smile, and then asked seriously, "Dean, I would like to ask, If a 'small world' swallows and digests the soul of the top being in a world with an upper limit of level 5, will there be a cross-border passage leading to that world?" "It's interesting." The dean had some
expectations
, Hearing Link's question, he became even more interested and said with a smile,
"It turns out that in the fairy world assigned by the academy to Paro's expedition, the new generation fairy king who carries the profound blessing of the fairy world's will was actually killed by you. No wonder
. The report sent back by Paro did not mention the specific cause of the Goblin King's death. It only said that the time of death can be determined, the place of death is unknown, and the cause of death is unknown." After a pause, the dean asked curiously: "You didn't mention this
? Tell Paro?"
Link replied seriously: "I have never found a suitable opportunity."
"Well..."
After satisfying his curiosity, the dean returned to his normal state and did not ask Link how he killed the goblin. King Soul, but answered the question raised by Link,
"Although the new generation fairy king has not yet grown into a level 5 extraordinary life, it has already carried enough blessings from the will of the fairy world.
If he dies in the fairy world, these blessings will naturally Will return to the fairy world.
If it is the soul of the fairy king you killed, these blessings will also slowly return to the fairy world through a mechanism that has not yet been thoroughly studied.
But according to you, it is a small world in the growth stage. 'After swallowing and digesting the soul of the Fairy King, this 'small world' will naturally establish a connection with the Fairy World. The
creation of a channel that can be transported across borders is just the beginning. In the follow-up
, there will even be a closer connection and the performance will be even more amazing. function.
For example..."
At this point, the dean suddenly stopped and chuckled, seeming to have thought of something more interesting:
"For example, even if your 'small world' has not grown large enough, you can still rely on the close connection with the fairy world. Help you to be promoted to the Great Sage.
This is the opportunity Waters dreams of!"
Promotion to the Great Sage is too far away for Link now.
Link asked the main reason for this adventure: "Can I get in touch with the trapped Paro Sage through this passage and deliver supplies?" "Of course." The dean frowned slightly and asked in
confusion
, "What are you worried about?"
Link did not hide anything and expressed his true worries: "The college's attitude towards the Lucia family makes me a little confused, a little hesitant, and even a little scared."
A person who leaked the information about the Sage-level Legion The college did not take many severe punishment measures for the defecting family stationed in the world coordinates.
Not only did they "allow" the core members of the Lucia family to transfer to the University of Mesobrada, they only confiscated the properties that were too late to transfer. Those clan members who did not transfer were only imprisoned without any public punishment.
This forced Link to think more.
"This matter..."
The dean pondered for a while. In view of the fact that after Link discovered the passage to the fairy world, he did not go to Wizard Seren and others privately, bypassed the academy, and directly assisted the Paro Sage Legion. Good attitude, decided to give a clearer explanation.
He waved his hand, and the entire dean's office entered a very special state.
It seems to be anchored in a space bubble in the wizarding world, rather than an office that actually exists in the wizarding world.
In this way, unless the opponent's strength and level far exceed the dean, the conversation that takes place here will not be monitored by anyone.
"If the words come out of my mouth and enter your ears, if they leak out and bring disaster to you, don't blame me for not announcing it in advance."
The dean first warned, and then said,
"This is a situation.
The core of the Lucia family defected, and the Paro Sage Legion was besieged by the abyss demons. These were all sacrifices they made voluntarily.
In order to convey to the outside world A signal is that the alliance between our college and the University of Mesobrada has been impacted.
In the future, our college will make more moves to attract the Michel District, including the Great Sage Michel The attention of other wizard organizations including the Tower.
Let them focus on our college and gradually ignore the University of Mesobrada. Do
you understand what I said?"
Link nodded: "I understand. . In other words, no matter what we do to rescue the Paro Sage Legion, it will have no impact on the college's big plan." "
You can understand it that way."
A hint of a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of the dean's mouth, "No wonder Paro has mentioned to me several times that you are a little slippery."
"Huh?"
Link was stunned, "The dean has a good relationship with Sage Paro?"
The dean said with a smile: "Without my support, Paro Dare you compete with the Lionel family like this?"
"Well, that's it."
Link sighed and answered another question.
I finally found the real boss of this series.
