Chapter 182: Conscription
Maybe it was really just a flash of inspiration.
Perhaps at the first sight of the giant flame salamander, Link subconsciously wanted to give it to Jasmine.
After all, Jasmine, as a beast master, couldn't accomplish everything with just one "God Devouring Worm".
Even if the God Eater is the natural enemy of the gods of the world of gods, it is not invincible, and it also has many weaknesses.
Although the "God Eater Worm" is indeed very powerful, and can share two major characteristics and many wonderful abilities for Jasmine, it is not enough to make Jasmine sit back and relax.
Jasmine needs to be like the mainstream of the Northern Beast Wizards, through contracts and raising a large number of various spirit beasts, and around the companion spirit beasts, to create a comprehensive and dead-end combat system.
In this way, he can gain a foothold in the increasingly volatile wizarding world, and not be beaten to death by the wind and waves in the upcoming great changes that have not been seen for thousands of years.
Even without the inspiration of this "beast cage" given by Dean Forest, Link himself would sooner or later remember that the giant flame salamander could become Jasmine's contract spirit beast or raise spirit beast.
It should be noted that Jasmine also has a Zerg brood seed in her hand, which is continuing to be remodeled by the "God Eater" cubs.
When the renovation is completed and the cultivation is completed, it can be used as an alternative "beast cage" to accommodate Jasmine's contract spirit beasts and breeding spirit animals.
It is not impossible to create a suitable environment for the giant flame salamander in the brood.
"How about it, do you have any intention to make it a contract spirit beast, or raise a spirit beast?"
Seeing that Jasmine was slow to move, Link took the initiative to ask.
"I'd love to contract it, but what am I going to do with it? I'm not like you, I have a 'small world' that I can take and take with me. β
Jasmine asked rhetorically, looking at Link like a fool.
The "beast cage" at the level of a 3-ring witch weapon, although powerful, can be large or small, and the interior can also imitate various environments.
However, there are also quite a few magic stones consumed.
It is a big expense to put such a large flame salamander into this "beast cage" in your hand, and to maintain the miniaturization of the flame salamander and the magic stone that simulates the volcanic lava environment every day.
It's okay for a day or two, but after a long time, how can you afford it?
Jasmine is just a little rich woman, not a real rich woman like Sandora, who really has a magic stone mine at home.
Don't say much, it only takes a month to bankrupt her.
"Little things! I've figured it out for you. β
Since Link brought Jasmine to see the Flame Salamander, it was naturally not a whim, and he wanted to come out one by one.
Before entering the real "small world", Link was actually aware of the problem and came up with a solution.
"How?"
When Jasmine heard this, she immediately became interested.
Whether it's a contract or a raising, a level 3 transcendent giant flame salamander will help Jasmine a lot to improve her strength.
If there's a way to do both, it's great.
Link smiled: "I usually keep it here, and when I need to use it, I can carry it with me, isn't it?" β
"Yes, but ......"
After a while, Jasmine still had some doubts in her heart.
This method does work, and it not only takes the benefits of the contract, but also does not need to consume too many resources.
However, there is only one question, that is, what can be used to guarantee that the two will always be together?
There will always be various reasons and things that make the two act separately.
Just like last time, Jasmine got the foreknowledge of the "God Eater Worm" and was sent by Link to the secret realm of cultivation, and Link was attacked, fled to the fairy world, and later went to accompany other girls.
(Iris: Phew!) Plastic Sisterhood! At this time, I became another girl? Don't you have any names? οΌ
It's very likely that Jasmine will need a giant flame salamander and Link won't be around.
And this possibility is extremely high, and the prophetic properties shared by the "God Eater Worm" have already sent a reminder to Jasmine.
Link thought about it for a moment, and immediately understood Jasmine's concerns, remembering the foreknowledge of the "God Eater", but he still insisted on his opinion, and said:
"My advice is to leave things that haven't happened yet.
You first contract the Flame Salamander to get the characteristics and abilities shared by the Flame Salamander, and improve your strength and heritage.
Then go to find the 'beast cage' at the level of 4 rings, or cultivate the brood seeds as soon as possible, so as to solve the problem of carrying the flame salamander with you.
A thousand birds are in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand.
Grasping now is the way to go! β
"Hmm."
Jasmine thought about it and agreed.
That's really the truth, you can't give up eating because of choking, right?
So, with Link's help, Jasmine quickly laid a contract rune array.
With Jasmine's own level and strength as a second-level wizard alone, she was actually able to forcibly contract a level 3 transcendent creature, the Flame Salamander.
Not to mention that there is also a high-ranking "God Devouring Worm" cub in the sea of knowledge, which can be suppressed at a critical moment.
"Let's get started."
Helping to set up the contract rune array, Link retreated into the distance, leaving the venue for Jasmine to play.
With a thought, the natal sorcery "Battle Armor" is activated, Link is armored, and he is in battle mode, ready to support Jasmine at any time, just in case.
Taking a deep breath, Jasmine stepped into the center of the contract rune array, and her right index finger lightly swiped the palm of her left hand, breaking a gap.
Crimson blood dripped down, spiritual power and magic surged, and the contract rune array activated.
Jasmine closed her eyes and used the contract witchcraft of the beast wizard to pull the contract rune array.
Two streaks of white light rose from the base of the rune array, surged onto the surface of Jasmine's body through Jasmine's feet, and then merged into a bundle at the position of the tail vertebrae, up the spine, through the back of the head and over the head, and finally submerged into the sea of consciousness at the center of the eyebrows.
"Deed!"
Jasmine opened her eyes suddenly, shouted, and suddenly shot out a ball-like rune structure with intricate lines from the sea of her eyebrows, flying towards the flame salamander at a seemingly slow and extremely fast speed.
Whether the contract can be successful at once depends on whether the Flame Salamander is willing to accept the spherical rune structure.
If the Flame Salamander resists, Jasmine will have to resort to a forced contract.
There is no difference between the strong heart contract and the equal contract in essence, but the independent will and sense of belonging of the contract spirit animal will have an impact.
It is very likely that the beast wizard will fight to the death, and the contract spirit beast will not work.
Therefore, the mainstream of the Northern Beast Wizards are all pursuing equal contracts.
Jasmine's heart tensed slightly, and a pair of beautiful eyes fell on the spherical rune structure, hoping that the flame salamander would not resist.
The whole contract process went very smoothly, and the flaming salamander, which was lazy and asleep, did not resist in the slightest, allowing the spherical rune structure to enter the center of its eyebrows.
The contract is complete!
In an instant, both Jasmine and the Flame Salamander shone with a burst of brilliant and colorful light.
This is the communication, sharing, and feedback after the Beast Wizard and the Contract Spirit Beast have reached a contract.
A companion spirit beast that can share all of its traits and abilities with the Beast Wizard.
Contract spirit beasts, which can share one trait and no more than five abilities.
Breeding spirit animals cannot share traits and abilities.
As feedback, the characteristics and abilities possessed by the Beast Wizard themselves are also randomly shared with companion spirit beasts and contract spirit beasts.
This process is not under the control of the Beast Wizard, nor is it inclined by the type of contract spirit animal, and it is full of uncertainty.
As a fire-attribute transcendent creature, the Flame Salamander actually shares Jasmine's water-based elemental affinity and wood-based elemental affinity, as well as the extraordinary ability transformed by the combination of natal sorcery and the characteristics of the Flame Salamander, "Great Earthquake Trembling".
The latter is better said to be more suitable for the ability characteristics of the flame salamander itself.
The affinity between the water system and the wood element is more outrageous.
Link was amused when he heard Jasmine say this.
There is fire, there is water, there is wood, and the flame salamander is going to stew itself?
But Jasmine's harvest this time was very good.
She received Fire Elemental Affinity, Fire Resistance, and a sorcery-like ability called "Flame Flash" from the Flame Salamander.
It completes an elemental affinity, not to mention further consolidating his wizard qualifications.
It can also be used to achieve a shapeshift-like flash and move between two or more flames by means similar to elementalization before being promoted to a sage.
"Fire Flash", which can be used both to dodge attacks and to launch surprise attacks.
There are many effects, and the effect is excellent.
"Moo!"
The flame salamander that slept lazily, even if it became Jasmine's contract spirit animal, didn't say much.
Barely open a little slit, and scream weakly, even if he said hello.
It rolled over slightly, found a more comfortable position, and continued to sleep.
"Let's go, let's go back."
In a hurry to digest what she had just gained, Jasmine did not want to stay here long and waste time.
Anyway, the flame salamander is kept here, so there is no chance of any accidents.
Link, of course, won't hold back and immediately put away his armor.
The two hurriedly said goodbye to Flandor and Cornelia, and returned to the academy's main world.
Before entering the real "small world", if Link does not apply, he may be able to rely on the connection and authority of the "realm master" and the "small world" to forcibly squeeze out of the academy's main world without the academy intervening on the premise that the academy does not intervene.
However, it is impossible to re-enter the world of the academy.
How could it be as easy as it is now, as if it had stumbled through a door.
"I'm back in my room, you can stay alone, or go find your sister CΓ©line."
In a slightly inexplicable tone, leaving a word for Link, Jasmine left the dining room and walked upstairs to the bedroom.
Link made a gesture he hadn't done since the crossing, touched his nose, and then laughed a few times.
It's good to be jealous, and it's not a problem to talk yin and yang.
This is a manifestation of the overestimation of him in my heart.
Calling the smart housekeeper to clean up the dining room, Link also went upstairs, didn't enter the bedroom, and went to the study.
Today's business, today's completion, there is still one thing that has not been done.
Sitting behind his desk, Link took out his portable brain and sent a communication request to Shandora.
After a short while, the video communication was connected.
Sandora, Lannie, and Tiffany appear on the screen.
In the background is a small conference room at the headquarters of the "Do Anything Freely" branch.
"How's it going?"
Seeing that Sandora seemed to be complaining, Link spoke first and asked.
Some time ago, they were busy preparing for the second extracurricular practice activity, and the three-day vacation time was taken up by the "construction" project, and Link and Jasmine have not paid attention to the affairs of the "Whatever You Do Freely" branch for half a month.
This video conference was supposed to be hosted by Jasmine, accompanied by Link.
Now that Jasmine has something to do, Link has no choice but to take it.
"Do you remember our branch?"
Sandora wasn't going to be gagged by Link, she should complain or complain, "I thought you had completely forgotten about us?" Or do you not pay attention to our branch in your heart? β
"Where? Nothing! β
Link smiled and explained, "It's just that I was really busy some time ago, and I couldn't be distracted for a while. β
"Really?"
Sandora squeezed a word out of her nose, her tone becoming more and more dissatisfied, "I don't care about the time ahead, but what about these three days?" You have time to run to the fairy world every day, but you don't have time to make a trip to the branch? Even if Jasmine plunged headlong into the lab, she had been here a few times. What about you? Not a word of concern. β
It's true that he didn't do a good job, what can Link do?
I can only listen carefully and be silent.
The atmosphere of the video communication was slightly stiff from the start.
Someone is in dire need of someone to break the vibe.
However, Lannie never interjects or intervenes when Sandora is talking and doing things.
Especially after being promoted to a second-level wizard and also starting to study.
Her mind was all about improving herself.
The wizard qualifications of the fifth rank are not false after all, and during this time, Lannie's progress is extremely fast.
Seeing this, Tiffany immediately seized the opportunity to improve her sense of existence, and took the opportunity to intervene in the conversation between Link and Shandora, changing the topic: "The recruitment work of the branch is all completed today, and there will be a party where all the members will meet in a few days, Link, you must attend." β
As she spoke, Tiffany asked suspiciously, "By the way, what about Jasmine?" Why isn't she here today? β
Jasmine. Kidman is the president of "freedom to do anything", the top leader on the surface.
This video conference was actually specially arranged by Jasmine to let Link know the progress of the branch, and also let Sandora, Lanny, and Tiffany communicate more with Link.
Even if you are hidden behind the scenes, you still have to maintain enough presence in front of key members.
Otherwise, it is easy to be completely hollowed out.
Link wasn't worried about that, Jasmine had to worry about it for Link.
"She has a bit of an urgent matter to deal with, and I will preside over today's meeting. Tell me if there's anything first, and I'll relay the meeting to her. β
Link explained a little, then responded to what Tiffany had said, "As for the all-team meeting, if there are no surprises, I will definitely be there." β
"Okay."
Tiffany nodded, not saying anything more.
Showing a sense of presence is such a thing, we must grasp the degree well, and we can't steal the limelight too much.
The protagonist of this video conference is obviously not her, so there is no need to appear too much.
After Tiffany's interruption, Sandora did not continue to ridicule Link, but instead answered Link's previous question, saying:
"Like Tiffany & Co. just said, the recruitment is over.
According to the standard you gave, we strive for excellence and only recruit a total of 20 members.
Among them, there are 5 people who have studied wizards, most of them are here for your fame; There are 15 children from various families in the headquarters, and most of them are here for me and Gerald.
I think the next phase of the branch's work will be to develop a sense of belonging to these new members who are 'free to do anything'.
Speaking of which, I suggest that it's time to roll out a well-established membership benefits system. β
As she spoke, Sandora's eyes were glued to the camera, her gaze sharp, as if through the screen, and she emphasized: "If there is a duty, there should be a welfare." This is very important, and I hope you will take it seriously. β
After listening to Sandora's story, Link pondered for a while and said, "Regarding the member welfare system, there will be an interim meeting of the final committee tomorrow, and you can put forward a specific plan for this part, and everyone will discuss it together." β
The decision-making level of "freedom to do anything" is the seven-member committee.
At present, there are 4 commissioners, namely Link, Jasmine, Shandora, and Asander.
There are still 3 vacancies, which will be filled later.
"Yes."
Sandora had no objection.
Since there is a system, then follow the system.
Unless the system is unreasonable, or when it comes to affecting the development of the organization, you can act cheaply.
She proposed the need to improve the member welfare system of "freedom to do anything", and she made relevant preparations.
"Anything else?"
After dealing with one thing, Link continued to ask.
Sandora glanced at Lanny and Tiffany, respectively, "I don't have any, what about you?" Have a meeting, talk freely. β
"Yes!"
Tiffany spoke up immediately, not at all because she was still in the first-level wizard stage, she looked down on herself, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was generous.
"You say."
Link looked sideways at Tiffany's position, indicating that he was listening.
"I recently combed through the organization's financial records and found a problem."
Tiffany looked serious and said solemnly, "In the past, 'you are free to do anything' can be run at your expense. Now, I think it is necessary to do a good job of cutting, the individual to the individual, and the organization to the organization. It is better to build an industry that belongs to the collective of 'freedom to do anything' and strive to achieve self-sufficiency in finance. It really can't be relied on, so we can properly rely on the donations of our members. β
"That's a good suggestion."
Link nodded, his mind flipped, and then said, "Tiffany, you write a report as soon as possible, with your suggestions, reasons, and solutions, or your thoughts, all of them. Sandora will take it to tomorrow's extraordinary meeting of the Final Committee for discussion. β
"No problem, I'll write a report later."
Tiffany agreed.
"Where's Lanny?"
Link turned to look at Lanny, who had been silent. Taylor, "Do you have anything you want to say?" β
Perhaps many people will ignore Lannie because of her silence during this time.
But Link didn't have the slightest idea.
He could feel it, Lanny. Taylor's personality and style of doing things are actually very similar to him.
It's just that some mistakes that were necessary to grow up were made.
Nowadays, there is a faint tendency to go on the right path thoroughly.
Just like the hidden dragon in the abyss, he is accumulating his own strength and heritage, waiting for the opportunity to soar into the sky.
Lannie's eyes, through the brain screen, met Link's gaze, and said calmly: "I think the communication between the headquarters and the local area should be strengthened in time. Everything else is fine. β
"Hmm......"
Link turned his gaze to Sandora and asked, "Can this work for a while?" β
Shandora thought for a while, and replied truthfully, "It's not feasible to let all the members of the local headquarters come to the academy's main world. It is feasible to organize the members of this branch to return to their homeland on a regular basis, but it is a bit ......"
The second half of the sentence was not spoken, but how could Link not hear the meaning?
Before the official announcement of the transfer of the headquarters from the wizarding world to the academy headquarters world, theoretically speaking, the members of the branch should go to the headquarters for a meeting, or participate in team building.
However, in the system of the Revosus Academy, the status of the academy headquarters is too high.
Whether it is an individual, a family, or some small internal organizations, the goal is to enter the main department of the college.
Moreover, the members of this branch, whether they are born, or their personal rank and strength, are actually superior to the members of the local headquarters.
Regularly organize the members of this branch to return to the local headquarters, once or twice, it is fine.
After the number of times, it is easy to expose the problem of weak stems and strong branches.
Link didn't have a good solution to this matter for a while, so he could only say: "Put it aside for the time being, and think about it in the long run." β
"Okay."
Sandora replied.
Lanie. Taylor took advantage of the situation to "hide" and did not mean to speak again.
"That's it, adjournment."
Link didn't procrastinate, and ended the video conference directly.
Putting down his brain, Link leaned back in his chair and seriously thought for a while about the communication between the local headquarters of the wizarding world and the world branch of the academy headquarters.
Thinking of it later, he smiled.
He found that his train of thought was actually taken by Lanny. Taylor and Sandora are sidetracked.
As long as the headquarters of "freedom to do anything" is relocated to the world of the academy headquarters as soon as possible, all problems will not be a problem.
Why worry about this, worry about that?
Therefore, Link has to increase investment in the Brothers of Benevolence, the Social Terrorism Group, and the backbone of the third echelon.
Help them be promoted to second-level wizards as soon as possible and come to the academy headquarters for further study.
These people are the descendants of Link's lineage.
With them united around Link, where Link is located, is the headquarters of "Freedom to Do Anything"!
"I'm so stupid, really!"
Link slapped himself on the head as punishment.
Estimating that Jasmine had finished digesting the harvest of the Contract Flame Salamander, Link got up and left the study and knocked on Jasmine's bedroom door.
"What's the matter?"
The door didn't open, but Jasmine's voice came, "Can you talk about it tomorrow?" β
In the small practice room attached to the bedroom, Jasmine, who was having a lot of fun playing "Flame Flash", didn't bother to pay attention to Link at this time.
"Okay."
Link, who had eaten a closed door, returned to the study a little depressed.
It's really uncomfortable to be rejected and not get the response you want.
The portable brain resting on the desk vibrated at this time.
A notification from a department in the academy appears on the screen.
Link clicked on it and found that it was a fifth-level sage he didn't know who had sent him a call, and he was immediately puzzled.
Fletcher. Who is Domingo Sage?
Why was he suddenly recruited? (End of chapter)
