"Hmm."

Link nodded, nothing in particular.

But his tone and demeanor showed that he did listen to Jasmine's words.

This made Jasmine's mood a little better.

"Let's all rest, recharge our batteries, and fight again tomorrow."

Link waved at the crowd happily eating melons, signaling that this was the end of the day and that it was all over.

Hurry back to your tents and go to bed early.

Everyone was still unsatisfied, and they were a little reluctant to return to the tent area.

Watching the ambiguous tugging between the big guy and the eldest sister is much happier than brainstorming to save this rotten world.

Anyway, the sour slalom ball just now from the eldest sister played really well.

That is, when you meet the big guy, who else can stand it?

Jasmine's lips twitched a few times, but she finally swallowed what she wanted to say.

She glanced deeply at Link, turned back to her tent, slipped into her sleeping bag, and slept with her head covered.

If you don't say the words, you are the master of the words.

Once the words are spoken, you become a slave to them.

Link used to tell her.

Now, she wants to use the principles that Link taught her to control her little emotions.

Emmm……

Be self-reliant and self-reliant, don't want children to grow up.

Link enters the tent, his consciousness sinks into the sea of knowledge, and he reflects on himself in the memory palace, then meditates deeply, and then sleeps.

Unconsciously, the small transformation of Zhihai has ended.

Link is now a genuine, fake, third-class wizard apprentice.

You can already practice the third layer of the "Water and Wood Symbiosis Meditation Method", and continue to accumulate spiritual power to 99 points.

After that, he transferred to the fourth layer of the "Water and Wood Meditation Method", and shaped the rune structure of the meditation method into a round ball.

You can try to engrave the natal witchcraft to prepare for the life essence leap and attack the promotion to the official wizard.

After the end of the transformation of Zhihai Xiao, what changes did it bring to Link?

The spiritual power and magic power are still the same as yesterday, and there is no qualitative change.

The space of the sea of knowledge has been further opened, not only has it become larger, it can hold more spiritual power, more runes, and it is also stronger, which can withstand the impact of the jump in the essence of life.

In terms of strength, there is no essential difference between a third-class wizard apprentice and a second-class wizard apprentice, except for the large number of witchcraft used in one performance.

Link is still yesterday's Link, and he didn't become first-year invincible just because he was promoted to a third-class wizard apprentice.

Not......

With a witchcraft duel alone, Link can shout out who else.

If you count runic items and witch weapons, you will face a god like Iris. Clark, Link has no other way but to turn around and run away.

Krypton changed his life, that's what he said.

A good night's sleep.

The next day, Link woke up just in time.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, he greeted Lynn, who was on duty on shift, and Link glanced at the real-time reconnaissance screen of the round flying saucer.

After confirming that no one was lurking in the vicinity, Link took the two scout golems and exited the tunnel.

Some things are better done sooner, such as a short separation, which is cleaner.

So as not to pull and pull, affect the mood.

When he came to the riverside, Link looked into the distance and watched the river flow eastward, and his mood was much more relaxed.

It's still too stuffy in the tunnel.

Link was somewhat affected.

Although "Occlumency" can ignore this, who wants to be in a good mood all day long?

Choosing a place where the current was relatively gentle, Link began to cross the river.

He first turned on the suspension function of the boots and cloak of the "Defender 3202" suit, and the whole person floated into the air, and the height above the ground was controlled at about 5 centimeters.

The mind moves, pseudo-natal witchcraft, "double casting", "juxtaposed spelling".

The four water shield techniques that reached the level of "pushing through the old and bringing forth the new" were quietly cast, and the two double-layered nested water shields appeared, one in front of the other, and spread horizontally on the river surface.

The water shield clings to the surging river.

Link stepped on the water shield behind him with his left foot, and with a slight amount of force, he leaned forward and stepped on the water shield in front of him with his right foot.

Leaning forward with his center of gravity, he lifted his left foot and stepped forward with the water shield.

The two double-layered water shields seemed to be firmly glued to Link's feet.

With the "Defender 3202" suit boots and cloak levitating, Link crossed the river and quickly traveled across the river.

The dragonfly is like a little water, and the pace is light.

From a distance, Link is like the young man described in the martial arts in his previous life.

The body is dashing, and the light work is outstanding.

Treading water with both feet, you can easily cross a wide river.

The fierce beast entrenched in the water in the river expressed dissatisfaction.

This is Lao Tzu's territory, and if you don't pay some protection money, you want to go there?

They jumped out of the water and pounced on Link.

But they were greeted with a heavy blow to the head.

After unlocking shallow meditation at any time in his daily life, the last thing Link lacks now is magic and the number of spell casts.

The "Continuous Cast" technique was also used.

One after another, a double water shield appeared.

or stick to the feet of Link, replacing the dissipated predecessors, carrying the river;

Or slam the heads of the beasts in the water head-on and knock them back into the river.

It doesn't matter if the double water shield is broken, it has its own back shield.

One water shield shattered, and tens of thousands of water shields followed.

In this way, Link crossed the river safely and came to the riverside.

The two reconnaissance puppets flew out of the air behind themselves and began to reconnoitre.

Link glanced at the real-time reconnaissance footage and noticed that there was something unusual on the hill where the rope was tied the day before yesterday.

After making sure there was no ambush, Link cautiously reached for the hill.

The journey went smoothly and there were no pitfalls.

Under the boulder that binds the rope, there is a line of words, the handwriting is delicate, but it reveals a strong resentment.

Link recognized it at a glance that it was Lanny. Taylor left behind, the exact time is unknown.

But most likely, it preceded a private message exchange.

The message is:

Link. Grande, no matter what misunderstanding there is between us, everything is still based on the bet between the two districts and the Wizard of Palo, I implore you to seriously consider it, join forces with me, and cooperate sincerely. I can assure me and my companions that you will do your bidding.

Attributed: Lannie. Taylor.

After reading the message, Link was speechless.

That is, there is no such thing as an abacus in the wizarding world.

Otherwise, Lanny's wishful thinking would have been put in Link's face.

It's all a thousand-year-old fox, what are you going to do?

Lanie. Taylor really wanted to team up with Link, so he wouldn't do that.

This message, like the previous private message, is all about preparing for possible accountability, so as to push the black pot to Link.

"There are many eyes in the heart."

After a brief evaluation, Link left without any waves in his heart.

Leaving the riverside and walking a distance, Link operated on his watch, and posted two announcements in a row on the camp channel:

Significant progress is expected to be completed.

Wait for three days, and the good news will come.

What does Link mean by this?

It's nesting, getting ready for fishing.

After that, switch to private chat mode and give Iris . Clark sent a message: Have something to discuss, convenient to meet?

Ignoring the dozen or so private messages that followed, Link waited for Iris's reply.

Soon, Iris sent a direct request to locate each other.

Link decisively agreed.

Hey, the two aren't far away.

Link glanced at the location, compared the mutilated map of the "world" in his mind, and recognized where Iris was.

There was a wood, tall and densely wooded, overgrown with shrubs.

I passed by there before, and I didn't feel any difference.

In retrospect, there was something wrong at every turn.

Generally speaking, trees that are close to each other will rob them of sunlight, water and soil nutrients.

It is impossible for all trees to grow tall and straight.

There are always trees that have not robbed brothers and sisters, crooked, and not the same.

Or just die.

But in that wood, at first glance, from the outside, there was not even a single crooked tree, and the roots were straight and slippery.

Even the shrubs underneath are growing very luxuriantly.

Leaving the clutter aside, Link headed for the woods.

Map in the mind, familiar with the terrain; Scout golems surround you and eliminate danger.

Link is traveling very fast.

It took less than an hour to get to the woods.

As soon as he got closer, before Link could contact him with his watch, Iris flew up to him with a whoosh.

"What's the good thing, so anxious to find me?"

Iris changed into a new outfit, wearing camouflage that is conducive to jungle action, and painted a few oil paints on her face.

Combined with the effect of a concealed witchcraft, it is hidden in the jungle and is very difficult to identify.

"It's true, but I don't know if it's good or bad for you."

Link didn't engage in coaxing, and went straight to the point, and said directly, "I really found a way to complete the camp mission, but our team has limited capabilities, if we do it alone, we may be able to complete it in the end, but it will take a long time." I'm afraid that there will be some variables in the middle. ”

"Hmm."

Iris came to her senses and asked calmly, "So you want to contact some apprentices in the North District through me, and even preferably half-blood, not pureblood?" ”

Link replied, "Half-blood, pure-blood, this is your division, I don't understand. I have only one request, and that is to make it other than the members of the 'Pureblood Will'. ”

"I see."

Iris nodded, thoughtful, thoughtful.

A moment later, she shoved her right hand and index finger into her mouth and whistled sharply and high-pitchedly.

Mental power and magic power are applied in the whistle.

Makes the whistle come far, far away.

After a while, five teenagers and girls who were also dressed in jungle clothes flew over.

These people were all moats, and each of them wore a pair of boots that could fly around.

Envy Link.

"Iris, what do you say?"

A young man with a long body, even if he had oil paint painted on his face, he could see that he was handsome, walked up to Iris, stood side by side, and asked softly.

He didn't even look at Link the whole time, his mind was on Iris.

Link faintly sensed a hostility.

Iris's perception was also very keen, and she immediately glared at the young man dissatisfied, and said, "Don't engage in these false things, people are here to seek cooperation." ”

As she spoke, she was still angry, and slammed her fist into the boy's abdomen.

The young man didn't dodge or dodge, he took this punch hard, and grinned: "Don't I care too much about you?" ”

"Huh......"

Iris shuddered, seemed to be numb, and couldn't stand the boy's straight ball, "You talk, I'm leaving." ”

Leaving this sentence behind, Iris swooped and flew away.

"Hello, I'm Munro. Brisenio. ”

After Iris left, the boy immediately regained his shrewd and capable image, grinned in a friendly manner, and took the initiative to extend his right hand.

"Link. Grande. ”

Reaching out not to hit the smiling man, Link and the young Monroe shook hands shallowly.

"How do you want to work with us? Continue to let us be thugs and drag the other person's people? ”

Munro. Briceño withdrew his right hand, his tone still warm, but his words were very sharp.

directly exposed Link's little tricks played on the faction channel and private chat channel.

Link never thought that his mind could be hidden from everyone.

It's normal to be seen through.

"It's up to you to choose."

Link said lightly, not at all embarrassed to be exposed.

"Oh?"

Monro was slightly interested.

To be honest, if it weren't for Iris in the middle, he wouldn't have been ready to meet Link, let alone cooperate.

Yesterday I saw the four announcements that Link made on the faction channel, saw the content of Iris and Link's private chat, and saw the same message that another companion later received.

Munro could see that Link was deeply wary of the local apprentices in the North End, even if they were in the same camp.

If you are wary, how can you cooperate?

Naturally, cooperation is out of the question.

However, after receiving Link's private message this morning, Iris repeatedly insisted on seeing each other.

That's the basis for dialogue.

Munro put away his hostility and asked, "Tell me more?" ”

Link replied:

"If you are willing to do research and experiment, I can share some ideas with you. Of course, this is not gratuitous, and you need to come up with some valuable information or barter.

If you don't want to do research and experiments, I can also share some other ideas with you, which is free of charge, so that you can deal with the opposing camp. ”

"It's kind of interesting."

Monro felt the confidence and confidence when Link spoke, and his interest suddenly increased, "I want both ideas!" Make an offer! ”

What does it mean to ask Link to make an offer so boldly, looking like he is giving "money" at any time?

Means Monro. Brisenio didn't want to cooperate, he made deals.

Collaboration breeds camaraderie.

It's really at the last moment, after the victory of the camp, it is not good to compete for personal results, and it is not good to backstab!

Or is it a more pure deal.

At that time, when it is time to make a move, no matter how heavy the attack is, no matter how black the means are, there is no burden in my heart.

Link understood Munro's intentions and was not at all surprised.

Why didn't he think so?

"I need some lab equipment, botany, zoology, microbiology, it's all right."

Link first put forward his own needs.

"No problem."

Monro waved his hand, full of moat style, "I can give you a complete set, as long as the ideas you give are worth the price." ”

Link smiled, didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "I don't know if you have found some ruins, telling the process and reasons why this world is on the verge of collapse."

We discovered that there was once a god-killer in this world, and a war with the gods of this world lasted for thousands of years.

In the end, the gods fell, humanity was destroyed, and the origin of the world was severely damaged and on the verge of destruction.

This has also led to the unbalanced ecology of this world, and all kinds of abnormalities have appeared.

For example, the woods behind you are reflected in this. ”

As he spoke, Link had been carefully observing Munro's eyes and face, trying to discern some reaction.

However, Monroe always maintained a faint smile without any change.

The heart is very good, and the city is not shallow.

Link extinguished his mind to peek into the other party's psychology and threw out the real material:

"Saving the world and destroying the world are actually two sides of the same coin.

The true meaning of the opposing faction's mission is to destroy first, then save.

And the true meaning of our positive and negative camp missions can be to destroy and save at the same time.

I call it a devastating deliverance. ”

After a pause, Link emphasized:

"As long as we get ahead of the opposing camp and destroy everything that should be destroyed, we will win."

Go someone else's way and leave others with no way out!
