Wizards Begin with Occlumency

Chapter 105 Real world, real world

"Little slicker."

Wizard Paro watched Link walk out of the office, muttering softly.

But the more thoughtful and cunning Link Grande is, the more he appreciates it.

People who are too honest, even if they are talented, will not be able to go far and achieve anything.

That's how the world is.

Honest people always suffer.

One point, two points, three points, little losses accumulate until they are completely overwhelmed.

Wizard Paro has been ups and downs for decades, and he has seen too many geniuses with no mind die halfway.

Picking up the brain, Wizard Paro directly sent a "video call" request to Peter Lionel.

"what's up?"

The screen was completely black, and there were gasps from vigorous exercise, unspeakable movements, and Peter Lionel's impatient voice, "I'm busy, hurry up!"

Wizard Paro muttered unluckily, and then said briefly: "Just one thing, stop all the little tricks against Link Grande, and don't force me to get mad."

"understood."

Peter Lionel's tone became more and more impatient, "You're looking for me for such a shit. He's your son, why are you watching so closely?"

"Don't bullshit, that's all."

Wizard Paro was speechless as he listened to the increasingly high-pitched female solo, so he hung up the call.

"unlucky!"

Wizard Paro complained that his ears were a little dirty, and then entered the "Rivesauth Forum" to browse posts on equal rights for witches to distract his attention.

the other side.

Peter Lionel worked hard for a long time, and finally reached an agreement with each other, and they were in harmony together. The transformation period was briefly ended, and he was promoted to the realm of sages.

A few shots of witchcraft were performed at will, and the water stains, sweat stains and other traces on the two people's bodies all disappeared.

Convenient, refreshing and comfortable.

Let the female companion with a look of contentment and satisfaction change into a battle robe, and Peter Lionel connected to Sauron Lucia's communication.

"Sauron, your temptation has returned."

Peter Lionel didn't exchange pleasantries with Sauron Lucia, and straight to the point, he said directly, "Paro just contacted me and asked us to stop all the tricks against Link Grande."

"Well. I see."

On the screen, Sauron Lucia still had a straight face and said coldly, "Now that we have tested Paro's attitude, let's just arrange for someone to kill him during the competition between the two districts."

"Okay, that's it, I have something else to do."

Peter Lionel saw his female companion walking out of the cloakroom and changing into a costume of a certain goddess from the world of the gods. He became excited and hung up the call hastily.

Another fierce battle is about to break out.

……

Link didn't waste his time.

The 4 witchcraft purchased from the black market are still at the proficiency level and need to be improved.

For the whole afternoon, Link stayed on the seventh floor of the laboratory building, practicing witchcraft.

Not only practice the proficiency of a single witchcraft, but also constantly combine the 12 0-level witchcraft that you have mastered.

Based on the witchcraft techniques of "continuous casting", "parallel casting" and "double/multiple casting" developed based on pseudo-natal witchcraft, practice them one by one to deepen your mastery and improve your proficiency.

Now there are less than two and a half months until the competition between the two districts.

From the sporadic information disclosed by the academy, Link learned that the form with the highest mortality rate was one-on-one combat, and the most difficult form was exploring secret realms and surviving in desperate situations.

These three forms have one thing in common, that is, the mastery and application of witchcraft is extremely demanding for the apprentices who participate in the competition in the two districts, although each has its own emphasis.

One-on-one combat, focusing on offensive and defensive witchcraft, the use of rune items and witchcraft is discouraged, but not prohibited.

The premise is that the people participating in the war can provide a reasonable source of income, proving that the magic stones used to buy rune items and witchcraft are earned by what they have learned.

Exploring secret realms focuses on detecting witchcraft and various knowledge reserves.

Survival in a desperate situation, the test is the comprehensive ability of the participating apprentices, a little more emphasis on practice than theory.

Since Link started preparing in advance, he must list these three forms as key preparation targets.

In addition to practicing the 12 0-level witchcraft he has mastered, Link is also planning to wait until the spring semester starts to select a few 0-level witchcraft as a reserve.

Even if you don't learn Consummation, you can only be proficient, maybe it can be useful in certain situations, right?

Anyway, if you have a talent for charms, you can be willful!
After practicing witchcraft for an afternoon, during which he did a few shallow meditations to restore his mental power and magic power, Link wasted a lot.

But Link was still tired and went to pick up Jasmine from get off work.

All the way without incident.

Seeing the clear tiredness in Link's eyebrows, Jasmine was originally going to ask a few questions that arose during her part-time job, but her thoughts calmed down.

Went to the cafeteria for dinner.

Jasmine took the initiative and said, "I'm rather tired today, so I won't go to the library and laboratory, and I want to go back to the dormitory to rest early."

Link thought for a moment, knowing that Jasmine was caring for him tactfully.

"it is good."

Link responded with a smile, and then sent Jasmine back to the dormitory.

Nor did he go to the library or laboratory alone.

They are kind-hearted, and since they didn’t refuse on the spot, don’t be cold-hearted.

The heartstrings have been really tense recently, and it's rare to rest.

Link didn't plan to do anything else. He washed and changed his clothes, meditated deeply, and then went to bed early.

It was very pleasant to sleep until dawn.

Link even felt that his mental power had improved a lot.

Call up the system panel and look, sure enough, the mental power is already 45, a jump of 2 points!
One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military.

This sentence is still very reasonable, and it also applies to the practice of wizards.

After picking up Jasmine, the two took the rail transit train and headed straight to the South District.

Yes, South Side.

Yesterday, while having lunch at the store restaurant, Wizard Seren called the names of Link, Jasmine, and Wizard Tina, and together they went to a factory in the South District to help debug the new production line of the Hemerocallis series.

With the rise and development of the Witch Affirmative Movement on the "Rivesauth Forum", the popularity of Link Grande gradually dissipated, and the popularity of the Lily Lily series immediately exploded.

The female wizards and wizard apprentices who came to Selin Wizard Pharmacy to buy the Hemerocallis series, especially the fragrances and perfumes, almost burst the door of the store.

Wizard Serin quickly added two new production lines.

The factory was already working overtime to catch up with the production progress, and there was a lack of technicians to debug the new production line.

Wizard Celine had no choice but to do it herself.

I brought Tina with me because as a pharmaceutical dispensing assistant, she followed the regular learning and growth path of a pharmacist. The next stage is as a pharmaceutical refining assistant until she becomes a qualified pharmacist.

It's not like Link, relying on his botanical talent and potion talent, he grew up savagely.

Bringing Link and Jasmine along is an unspoken rule of the academy.

That is, the unit that hires apprentices to work part-time, in addition to paying them, must also help train the apprentices' relevant abilities.

Mina Havcheck paid a high price for this incidental training.

It's a pity that I don't live up to it.

Southern District, the platform closest to your destination.

As soon as Link and Jasmine got off the train, they saw Wizard Seren's bright red hover car.

"Good morning, Wizard Celine."

After opening the car door and boarding the suspension vehicle, Link and Jasmine greeted each other in unison.

"Ah."

Wizard Serin responded casually, kicked the accelerator, and the hover car jumped out.

Different from the fully intelligent driving vehicles that I sat on a few times before, this suspension vehicle of the wizard Celine is an extremely retro manual operation.

Link saw some parts similar to the car in his previous life.

For example, the operating handle is similar to the F1 racing steering wheel, such as manual gear shifting, such as "throttle", "clutch" and "brake".

The long-lost shock.

The speed of the suspension car is extremely fast, like lightning.

Fortunately, people and vehicles are separated in River South City, and the suspension car can also choose four modes: sticking to the ground, low altitude, hollow, and high altitude, so you don't have to worry about hitting people or cars.

Molly had never been to the South Side.

Previously, she had looked out of the window of the rail transit train and could not see anything.

But now, no matter how fast the hover car is, or how fast the building outside the window is retreating, there is still a very obvious contrast and difference.

Jasmine seemed to see the difference between her own castle and the slums.

It turns out that there is such a big gap just a few streets apart.

The suspension car stopped, and the three got off.

Jasmine looked at the stretch of factory buildings in the factory area in front of her, like matchboxes one after another. Before she entered, she felt extremely depressed.

"Why are you standing still?"

Shaking his hands, he attracted the attention of Jasmine, whose eyes were dazed. Link beckoned her to follow Wizard Celine into one of the many factories.

The factory area is very clean, and the layout of the factory building is very reasonable and standardized.

No one came out to greet them.

Wizard Seren took Link and Jasmine to the cleaning area.

The three of them entered the men's and women's locker rooms respectively, put on protective clothing, and then entered the "workshop".

In the "workshop", except for the noise made by the machine running, there are almost no other sounds.

On the assembly line, workers in tight protective clothing are performing boring operations in a dull manner.

Or to give magic, or to perform witchcraft, or to process materials, or to operate instruments  …

The movements are precise, without any redundancy, more mechanical than a noisy machine.

Look into the eyes of the workers through the eyepiece, and you will find a numbness and lifelessness.

Like dead wood.

"Link..."

Jasmine looked at the scene in front of her. The Limerocallis seeds were spawned and ripened by witchcraft and special potions in a very short period of time. They were pre-treated, refined, put into the alchemy pharmacy cabin, diluted, blended, and canned. Both numb eyes touched the heart even more.

She tugged at Link's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Are they the new blood from Sea of ​​Storms who hasn't been promoted to a full-time wizard in four years?"

"Do not."

Link shook his head.

When Jasmine heard this, strong expectations suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She wants to hear the answers she wants to hear.

It's a pity, only to hear Link continue: "There are still some local wizard apprentices with low qualifications or special reasons."

The light in Jasmine's eyes suddenly disappeared.

The truth was even crueler than Jasmine thought.

Not only the new blood of Storm Sea will be squeezed and exploited to the fullest, but even being born in mainland China still cannot escape the pain and numbness.

This is the real world, the reality of the world.

Some people are herds of cattle and horses.

Some people live their lives as cattle and horses.
