Chapter 153: Something Went Wrong
"Nonsense."
Link's face did not change, and replied directly, "Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors." β
Didn't do it, just didn't do it.
I have enough confidence, and I am not weak at all.
If you had performed the Inception Witchcraft and something had happened, you wouldn't dare to respond positively.
"Hehehe......"
Jasmine sneered.
In his heart, he believed Link's words.
In fact, she always knew that Link's heart was more difficult to heat, and there was no love between Link and Iris.
But between men and women, after getting along for a long time, there will be no before.
It's hard to say.
So, for whatever reason, Jasmine has to make her presence felt.
The two are still unknown to the extent that they know the roots, but they have also developed an extraordinary tacit understanding.
After a short conversation, he suddenly stopped talking, but looked at each other in silence.
In the end, it was Jasmine who took the lead in breaking the silence and ending the confrontation, asking with concern, "You're not hurt, are you?" β
"No, that's fine."
Link was also cooperative, standing up, stretching out his hands to the sides and spun in a circle in front of the screen.
Let Jasmine see more clearly, so as to further determine the state of the body and dispel worries.
Link then asked, "What about you, how are you doing?" What are the gains in the secret realm of cultivation? β
When Jasmine heard this, she fell silent.
Those who had suffered in the secret realm of cultivation were still faintly painful when they thought about it inadvertently.
The silkworm baby chirped a few times and apologized to Jasmine.
"It's none of your business."
Jasmine raised her hand to take down the silkworm baby, rubbed it a few times, and said softly in relief.
When the silkworm baby no longer feels guilty and relaxes, Jasmine takes the silkworm baby back to Zhihai.
"What is this?"
Link witnessed this scene all the way and was curious.
Before he sent Jasmine to study in the secret realm, he hadn't heard Jasmine say that he had plans to keep a pet.
"I'll talk about it when you get back."
Jasmine didn't answer Link's question directly.
Even if this cross-border communication is encrypted, who can guarantee that it will not be eavesdropped?
The baby silkworm cubs of the "God Eater Worm" are not suitable for too much exposure now.
As hole cards, the effect will be even better.
"Hmm."
Link agreed, pondered for a while, and made a promise, "I'll go back when the portal is built." β
"Don't be in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry."
Jasmine said this, and the expression on her face was also very calm, as if she was really not in a hurry at all.
It's just that a pair of small hands behind his back at some point have been twisted into a ball.
Not long after suffering from the pain, I suddenly heard that my lover had "eloped" with another woman, and my mood could not be calm.
In particular, the process of "elopement" also encountered an extremely fatal crisis.
For more than a month, even if Jasmine was not as exaggerated as washing her face with tears, she was still in fear.
If it weren't for the prophetic traits shared to her by the "God Eater" cubs, Jasmine would have given birth to Link's intuition that he was still alive.
Jasmine may have collapsed long ago.
Now it's safe to get out of danger.
Zila, zila.
The encrypted cross-border liaison suddenly emitted a murmur.
There is no portal for transit, but with the help of emergency contact channels, the quality of cross-border contact is very worrying.
"Let's do it first, and then we'll talk about it when we come back."
Jasmine was empathetic and very considerate and took the initiative to hang up the communication.
Link let out a sigh of relief and put away the liaison.
Then he said to Flando, who appeared automatically in the morning, with his little hands on his hips, urging Link to hurry up and contact her old lady like an overseer, "Are you satisfied now?" β
"Hmph."
Flandor didn't answer directly, just raised her chin.
Then, without waiting for Link to move, she went back to the "small world" that had stabilized herself.
The task of post-disaster reconstruction is very heavy, and Link, the realm master, only knows how to sit back and enjoy the results, and Flando, the "realm spirit", can only work harder.
Link was sighing, and when he finally calmed down, a guest came to visit.
"Please come in."
Came to the reception area, greeted the Sage of Paro, and the two sat opposite each other.
After a moment, the Sage of Paro said, "The portal will be built tomorrow, when will you return to the mainland?" β
"Tomorrow, then."
Link suddenly realized, knowing that there was something for the Sage of Paro to do.
"Hmm."
Sage Paro just nodded, and did not continue.
"Is there anything I need to do?"
Link immediately took the initiative to inquire and handed over a step.
"Hmm."
Sage Paro nodded again, hesitated for a moment, took out a small box from his bosom, and placed it on the table, "You help me bring this box to Seren." β
The box is in the shape of a long strip and is about the size of a gift box containing a fountain pen.
Perceived, it's not like a space storage witchcraft.
What's inside, it's not going to be big.
"No problem, it will be delivered."
Link immediately put away the box, made a promise, and asked, "Is there anything I need to convey on my behalf?" β
He could see that something must have happened between the Sage of Paro and the wizard of Selene.
As a result, the Sage of Paro is now like this, and his performance is more entangled.
"Hmm......"
The Sage of Paro pondered for a while, suddenly waved his hand to lay down the anti-eavesdropping witchcraft, and then asked seriously, "If a man, for security reasons, has not responded positively to a woman." Suddenly, one day, for some reason, this woman and this man made a complete cut in contacts, resources, and industry. Will still accept the man's request for communication, but not as enthusiastic as before. What's going on? β
After listening to this, Link bit the skin of his lower lip tightly, and ran the "brain occlusion technique" with all his strength to control his emotions.
He's not a professional counselor, and if he doesn't, he'll laugh.
Listening to what the sage of Paro said, what happened, is it still unclear?
I don't know why the Sage of Paro thought to ask for his opinion.
Is he a lot like a sentimental person?
Link didn't directly support him, but asked, "How does the Sage of Paro feel about Wizard Selene?" β
"I'm not talking about me and Selene."
Sage Paro subconsciously denied it, emphasizing, "This man, to be honest, loves this woman very much. But the reality is that men and women are not allowed to be together for a long time, otherwise there will be a high probability of two people having an accident together. β
"That's right."
Link thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Sage Paro should ask Wizard Selene what she wants, rather than thinking that the decision she made is the best for Wizard Selene." Many times, women are willing to accompany men through hardships and are not afraid of danger. What they think more about is that since they are in love, they should always be together. β
"Is that so?"
Sage Paro was thoughtful, and then emphasized, "It's not me and Selene! β
Link gritted his lower lip again.
After this village, there is no such shop.
Next time I want to see Sage Paro advance and retreat like this, I guess I won't have a chance.
After adjusting his mentality, Sage Paro changed the topic and asked, "What are your plans after returning to your homeland?" After the turbulence of time and space and the opening of the passage, you and Iris are now the most talkative people in the wizarding world. After you go back, you still have to keep a low profile to avoid accidents. β
Link calmly replied to his plan: "I plan to go to the main department of the academy for two years. β
"Further study? It's a good choice. β
The Sage of Paro was very much in favor of Link's plan.
With two Great Sages, four Level 6 Sages, and six legions of Sages stationed in the main body of the Academy, it is the safest place in the entire Revosus Academy's many spheres of influence.
Not to mention Michel's eighth-level great sage, even if it is a ninth-level Tudor great sage, if he wants to capture the academy headquarters, he won't be able to do it for a while.
In less than ten or eight years, it is estimated that even the interstellar defense line will not be able to break through.
After echoing, the obviously absent-minded Palo Sage reacted: "You have been promoted to a second-level wizard?" β
"Hmm."
Link took the initiative to release the coercion of the spiritual power belonging to the second-level wizard.
After the "small world" was struck, he completed the fourth evolution, helped Link complete the liquefaction of his mental power, and gave Link another feedback, allowing him to better control his mental power.
Therefore, after the Sage of Paro entered the tent, he did not find the spiritual power fluctuations that would inevitably occur when the wizard who had just been promoted.
It wasn't until Link took the initiative to reveal that he knew that Link had been promoted to a second-level wizard.
"So fast? It's only been a few years? β
For Link's promotion, the Sage of Paro felt a little incredible.
In four years, in less than five years, he went from a mundane who knew nothing to a second-level wizard.
It's still the kind of ordinary second-level wizard who has excessive combat power and may be able to face the third-level wizard head-on!
It's outrageous.
Recalling that I was also known as a super genius, it took nearly eight years to complete this journey.
Sure enough, it is a great change that has not been seen in thousands of years, and promotion at all levels is not as difficult as before.
Sage Paro suddenly stared at Link's eyes and instructed earnestly, "After you go back, don't do anything else, go directly to Dean Forest." Do you understand? β
"Understood."
Link solemnly agreed, "Go straight to Dean Frist when you go back." β
"Hmm."
Sage Paro got up and walked outside, "I'll say hello to the Dean in advance." β
Getting up and walking over to the curtain of the door, and watching the Sage of Paro leave, Link sat back on his cushion and pondered.
Obviously, the Sage of Paro had thought of something, and told him to go back to Dean Forest.
This is because he is worried that after the matter of his promotion to second-level wizard is exposed, some people or some forces, regardless of their face, forcibly abduct Link.
Then, in the matter of the parallel universe channel, seize the opportunity.
"The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop."
Link sighed, he just wanted to develop with peace of mind, why was it so difficult?
The day went by.
The portal is complete.
The first group to pass through the portal and transit through the camp behind the barren world and return to the wizarding world mainland were the bodies of the wounded and victims of the Paro Sage Legion.
In the battle with the Abyss Demon Army, the servant soldiers and goblin troops of the Paro Sage Legion suffered heavy casualties, and it can almost be said that they have been disabled.
The servant soldiers were overwhelmed and repatriated to their respective worlds, and the elven troops were disbanded on the spot after receiving their reward.
On the wizard side, 13 first-level wizards unfortunately died.
This is after the campaign entered the strangulation phase, a starship with a maximum crew of 15 people was hit by a level 4 shadow demon with a shadow blade that can cut space, breaking the engine and losing power.
Then he was swarmed by countless middle and low-level demons and completely destroyed.
The legion was too late to rescue, and in the end only rescued the captain and deputy captain, two second-level wizards, and then collected the bodies of 13 first-level wizards.
This was the only permanent attrition since the departure of the Paro Sage Legion, and it was also the largest attrition.
13 first-level wizards, one level 6 rock demon, one level 5 fire demon, one level 5 yin demon, millions of middle and low-level abyss demons, this battle loss ratio, this result is not amazing.
However, the magic stones and materials consumed by the Paro Sage Legion are also countless, directly hollowing out all the decades of accumulation of the Paro Sage.
The second group to pass through the portal is Link, Asander, and Renee. The Clark Three.
"Goodbye."
At the crossover portal, Link says goodbye to Asander and Renee, and drives the 1-ring-level backup vehicle towards the lake villa.
This time, Link informed Jasmine in advance.
I don't want to be bitten again.
It doesn't hurt though.
But Link doesn't have a masochistic fetish.
"Coming back?"
"It's back!"
Back at the villa, get out of the car, and then there are two extremely bland dialogues.
"Drink tea and have some snacks."
Jasmine turned and walked towards the restaurant, saying as she went, "I made it myself, I hope it doesn't taste bad." β
"Really? Then I'll have to give it a try. β
Link's eyes lit up, and he looked very expectant.
On the dining room table, the tableware and refreshments have been carefully arranged.
"Sit."
Jasmine took the initiative to open a chair for Linkla, which was very caring and very virtuous.
"So polite?"
Flattered, Link suddenly hung in the air and sat down in his chair "tremblingly".
"Let's eat, try my craft."
Jasmine sat down across from Link, laid out her napkin, spoke, and ate her share of the refreshments.
"Hmm......"
Link glanced at him, and the butler Hamid lifted the lid, revealing two different refreshments, speechless.
The refreshments on the left-hand side are brown sugar deer balls milk tea, and the dim sum is puffs and tiramisu;
The tea on the right-hand side is green tea and the dim sum is rice balls with filling.
The tea combo on the left-hand side is Iris's favorite.
The tea combination on the right-hand side, tea is Link's favorite, and the dim sum has another meaning.
Link once joked to Jasmine, saying that she was like this rice ball, with a smooth and pure appearance, and when she bit into it, her heart was black and shiny.
Obviously, is this a refreshment?
This is a Hongmen feast!
If Link had chosen the tea combo on the left-hand side, would he have been stabbed today?
A woman who plays with a small temperament is really self-taught, and her rank is terrifyingly high.
Link glanced at the refreshments on his left and pretended to complain, "Why did you prepare such sweet refreshments for me, you know I didn't like these all along." β
As he spoke, Link took a sip of green tea and ate a hot rice ball: "These are still the ones that best suit my heart." β
The desire to survive is directly full.
"Really?"
Jasmine asked with a smile on her lips and playfully, "I thought you were tired of eating and wanted to change the taste." Or ......"
deliberately prolonged the tone, and said in a weird manner: "Or if you want to eat both, you can eat it instead." If you are tired of eating one flavor, you will change to another flavor and take turns. Wait until you get tired of eating, and then find a new flavor to eat. Men, they're all like this, they like the new and hate the old! It's normal, there's no need to hide it, I can accept it. β
"There's no such thing."
Lin Keyi emphasized in his words, "I have never forgotten my original intention and always adhered to my preferences. β
"Hmph."
Jasmine smiled and snorted coldly, "Count you through." β
Waving his hand to signal Hamid to remove the brown sugar deer balls, milk tea, puffs, and tiramisu, Jasmine chooses to let Link go.
This made Link breathe a sigh of relief.
I finally got through it, and I was more tired than fighting.
Jasmine made a surprise attack at this time, and said coldly: "I have been promoted to a second-level wizard, and there is one thing I need you to help me do." β
When Link heard this, he was not surprised, but his brows furrowed tightly: "What happened?" β
Jasmine summoned the "God Eater Worm" cub and pointed to the silkworm baby that was as smooth as white jade: "This is my companion spirit beast, the 'God Eater Worm', the natural enemy of the gods of the gods of the gods, a species created by the royal family of the Zerg world. β
After a pause, Jasmine said, "The 'Bone Worm' is the degraded 'God Eater Worm'. β
"Is that so?"
Link pondered, then asked, "How do you know this?" β
Wizard CΓ©lene, as the owner of the "Bone Worm", apparently did not know this.
Otherwise, they would never have developed a plan to improve the qualifications of wizards based on the "Bone Worm".
Jasmine instead cleared these doors, apparently something happened that Link didn't know.
I only heard Jasmine say quietly: "Fortunately, you sent me to the secret realm of cultivation, otherwise I don't know how I would have died." β
If he hadn't entered the secret realm of cultivation, the "God Devouring Worm" would indeed not have broken out of its shell so early.
But there will always be a day when enough magic will be sucked and born.
At that time, there will not be a top sixth-level sage who sits and waits for death and likes to have fun.
Link instantly recalled the unknown help he had received in his cultivation realm.
The mood instantly became extremely complicated.
After all this, Link has come to understand a truth.
Although the wizarding world does not believe in fate, it is real.
If you have something to gain, you must pay something.
Both he and Jasmine have accepted the help of unknown high-level beings, and they will have to pay back the equivalent "reward" or pay the equivalent "price" at some point in the future.
All the gifts of fate have been secretly marked with a price.
I just hope that this price will not be ridiculously high.
Otherwise...... (End of chapter)
