Wizards Begin with Occlumency

Chapter 145 Focus on me
Trust is mutual.

Beware is also mutual.

Link was guarding Iris and Munro from backstabbing.

Iris and Munro are also guarding against Link's backstab.

The human heart cannot withstand temptation.

People's hearts are also changeable.

So it is more appropriate to be more careful.

Iris didn't rush to dispel the shield.

Instead, he first took out the Free Eagle's control brain from his bag to monitor the underground hidden fortification area.

After confirming that Link and Link's team entered the underground fortification, there was no movement to come out.

Only then did Iris shatter the crumbling protective shield with violence.

A few rounds of water-based hydration and wood-type recovery techniques were cast on the unconscious people to relieve the impact they received.

Munro was the first to wake up from his coma.

"how is the situation?"

Opening his eyes, he was dazed for a while, and then became a little more sober. Munro asked first,
Then his face suddenly changed, and he said angrily, "Are you crazy? In order to save a stranger, you threw two 'death knells' at our heads? Are you afraid that our death is not bad enough?"

The big killer is the nickname of the wizard Serene.

Link has always used it.

The real name is Death Knell, and the meaning is literal.

To ring the death knell and send people to their death.

"hey-hey……"

Iris smiled sarcastically, "I'm on top, forgive me, forgive me."

As she said that, Iris's tone changed, revealing a little disapproval, "But it's not as serious as you said, it's just eliminated, and it won't really blow you up!"

"You..."

Monroe was furious.

This is a competition between the two districts, is it not serious to be eliminated?
Just as he opened his mouth, he choked back abruptly.

Forget it, Iris has such a crazy character, it's useless to worry about these things.

The next time she encounters a similar situation, she will still dare!

It's useless to say anything.

"Come on, let's go back."

Munro simply ignored Iris, climbed up with difficulty, and then helped his friends one by one.

When they all woke up a little, they quickly left the pit with everyone.

Link isn't the only one who knows how to do civil work.

Munro's team also dug well-defended underground works.

Just at the foot of the mountains on both sides.

According to the original plan, after the two teams attacked left and right, they would limit the pursuers to the trap area, kill as much as possible, and then trigger the trap.

Before that, they had to get rid of the entanglement in time and retreat to the safe areas on both sides.

Who would have thought that Iris came up crazily and threw two "death knells" directly from the sky.

Regardless of the consequences.

Everyone in the Munro team and the Iris team was almost reimbursed.

Now that everyone is in bad condition, the two teams do not separate. They enter the same fortification and rest separately.

Munro set up a warning, approached Iris, and asked directly: "Where are they?"

Iris is holding a knife, peeling a fruit and eating it.

She put a piece into her mouth, chewed it, and said, "Hide underground."

"This has been preventing us for a long time."

Munro said thoughtfully and meaningfully.

"Hey."

Iris sneered, "It seems like you and I didn't guard against him."

Iris Montrone's position is different and changes at any time, there is no way to do it.

Originally, I wanted to talk about other things, so I stopped talking.

To avoid choking again.

Get mad at yourself.

He simply returned to his resting area, lay down, and fell asleep.

After dealing with this wave of pursuers, you should be able to have a longer breathing time.

The heartstrings don't need to be so tight anymore.

A hill far from the intermountain basin.

The leaders of the first-year members of several apprentice organizations in the northern district who were assigned to the opposing camp gathered together and looked at the mountain basin in the distance.

After the battle broke out, the high-altitude reconnaissance witchcraft was disturbed by explosions, flames, and dust, and the picture presented was not particularly clear.

When the mushroom cloud erupted, it was completely unclear.

However, everyone present was not a humble person, so they could naturally guess what happened.

"They're not coming back."

A man with a feminine face said indifferently, "I said that Monroe dared to stay there, he must have set a trap. Be careful, don't be too reckless, you must listen!"

"so what?"

Next to her, a woman exuding coldness and an ice-like aura that made people stay away unconsciously snorted, "Even if all the sixty or so people are exhausted, we can call in more sixty or so people. I don't believe it." , Iris and Munro's reserves are endless, and they can be consumed with us forever!"

"I approve of continuing to consume them."

A fat man with white eyes squinting habitually and a friendly smile on his face echoed, "Iris, a crazy woman, is still very powerful in fighting and destructive power, and her net worth is rich. Don't use up her reserves." , the few of us, no matter who faces her, will suffer."

"I didn't say we're going now!"

The femininity man was being targeted one after another, and he snorted dissatisfiedly, "I'm just saying, it's not worth it to eliminate so many people in order to fight Iris and Monroe. Those guys who were assigned to the positive camp just sit back and watch us mobilize our manpower and besiege Iris and Monroe, what are the intentions, you will not be able to guess? Even if we are not afraid of losses and fight them off, what will we get in the end?"

After a pause, the feminine man glanced at the two people who faintly united against him, and emphasized word by word: "You can't get anything!"

This statement is indeed not alarmist.

Well-founded and worth pondering.

A tall and burly man who had been sitting and watching the three of them quarreling, at this moment persuaded: "Okay, stop arguing. Since we are in the same camp, we should cooperate sincerely, and don't engage in internal strife like the opposite side."

As he said that, the burly man smiled and changed everyone's topic, "Tracy Lucia was eliminated so early. It's something I never thought about. Those 'pure blood' people, because of Iris After participating in it, he actually encouraged those in the positive camp to isolate this crazy woman Iris. It’s quite funny and interesting.”

"Speaking of the 'Pure Blood Will' group of guys, I suddenly remembered, aren't they planning to surround and kill Link Grande?"

The femininity man smiled sinisterly, "I just saw that guy is here too, his performance is so fucking fierce, his witchcraft skills are so damn good! He doesn't look like a bumpkin from the Sea of ​​Storms at all! It's better than that of Iris. The crazy woman is still fierce. Just call the 'Pure Blood Will' and let them kill each other in the square camp. Wouldn't it be better for us to sit and watch the success or failure and clean up the mess in the end than to fight recklessly?"

"Humph!"

The cold woman squeezed out a voice from her nasal cavity, expressing her dissatisfaction.

She and Iris have a "deep hatred", so naturally they don't want to give up the opportunity to teach Iris personally.

It's a pity that she can't mindlessly object to this suggestion that is obviously beneficial to everyone.

Otherwise, sooner or later he will be kicked out of the small circle.

"That's a good idea, I like it."

Fatty Bai Jing applauded with a smile, "Let them 'dog eat dog'."

The burly man smiled and said, "Then where should I contact?"

"can."

"no problem."

"I have no objection."

The feminine man, the fair and fat man, and the cold woman each speak differently but have the same attitude.

After a good discussion, several people evacuated the hill.

Mountain basins, riversides, and deep underground.

Link walked into the concealed fortification, thankful that the structure was still stable and there was no danger of landslides.

I saw Jasmine and Lanni confronting each other, and the atmosphere was tense.

"what's the situation?"

Walking between the two of them, and leaning slightly towards Jasmine, Link blocked their line of sight and asked.

Jasmine snorted, and said angrily, "Ask her if she can manage her people well! She still says everything and obeys orders. Talking like farting!"

"Are you going to take a rest first?"

Link looked at Jasmine and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "Go and rest first."

One sentence, same content, different tone.

When Jasmine heard this, the anger in her chest dissipated quite a bit, and she really gave up the confrontation, turned around and left.

Link looked at Lanny Taylor at this moment, and didn't speak, just quietly staring into the other's eyes.

Lanie responded calmly and looked at Link.

For a long time, Link was convinced that Lanny Taylor had no intention of explaining first, so he said politely:

"Isco's actions, I think you are ignorant and can be forgiven. But, what happened just now, please explain, can you?"

"it is good."

Lanny Taylor nodded, considered her words, and said:

"Earlier, when you rushed out suddenly, Jasmine immediately took over the command and issued the order. My team members didn't carry it out right away, and there was a little delay. Jasmine was questioning me about this just now, asking me for an explanation."

"Well……"

Link pondered for a while, then asked, "May I know what caused the delay?"

Lan Ni bit her lips when she heard this, and she replied in the end: "Because they don't know whether they should accept Jasmine's command after you leave, so they waited for my instructions first."

"I understand."

Link figured out the ins and outs, thought for a while, made a decision, and still asked politely, "I really didn't explain in advance, the order of command on the battlefield. I am also partly responsible for this matter. But after going through such a situation, I Thinking, this should never happen again, right?"

Is Link really responsible?
In Link's team, Jasmine has always been number two.

In Link's absence, Jasmine takes command, as is natural.

It was Lani and the others who took the initiative to seek to join Link's team, not Link "begging" Lani's team to join.

I gave Lanny Taylor face, and there were other concerns, so I didn't break up Lanny's team.

However, such things as command power are established by convention.

Lanny Taylor is a smart person, she doesn't need to say it out loud, she should have a tacit understanding in this regard.

By taking the blame on himself, Link was giving Lanie a step down.

"will not!"

Lanny replied firmly.

"Sure?"

"Sure!"

"Okay. Well, I hope you will do what you say."

Link had a serious look on his face and a serious tone, "If I can't do it, I can only say sorry."

"oh, I understand now."

Lanny's eyes dimmed a little, and the face hidden under the veil couldn't be seen clearly, but it shouldn't be much better.

Returning to her nine team members, Lanny felt a little tired.

But soon cheered up.

The road I choose, I have to walk on my knees.

Looking at her teammates who were waiting for her to speak, Lani did not blame, but said calmly: "I gave everyone, including me, a chance. If there is another problem, we don't need them to rush us, and we will leave on our own in despair. Leave, do you understand?"

"understood."

The 9 team members were dejected and unable to respond.

"Okay. Let's just think about it. Think about it for yourself. Which is more important, personal emotions, or the competition between the two districts, performance rankings, and resources and welfare?"

Lani waved her hand, not wanting to say anything more.

Drums don't need heavy hammers.

If you should understand, you will naturally understand.

Those who don't wake up will never change until they die.

the other side.

Jasmine fixed her eyes on Link and asked, "Why take such a risk?"

Link knew what Jasmine was asking.

Even if the chasing soldiers rioted for a moment because of Isco's operation, it was indeed a good opportunity to fight back.

But Link's desperate leap out of the trench and charge was too reckless.

This battle, from the very beginning, did not belong to them.

There is no need to work so hard for other people's battles.

"Because there are countless more difficult battles waiting for us."

Link responded to Jasmine's gaze and gave an explanation, "When I first entered the academy, I wanted to keep a low profile, accumulate a wave of strength, and then talk about other things.

But all aspects of the college's regulations and settings are 'forcing' us to show our strengths.

In order to obtain resources and grow better and faster, I am half-active and half-forced to change my style.

After entering this world, I have always wondered why the academy named this two-district competition 'Pioneering the Other World'.

Even the seven side tasks all guide us to understand, investigate, and study the ecology of this world.

But in a world without natives, a world on the brink of destruction, what wasteland can there be?

Then I figured it out.

What the college wants us to explore is not this world, but our hearts after entering this world.

And whatever the college wants, it will definitely come true! "

After a pause, Link asked meaningfully, "Can you ignore the thousands of creatures in this world for your own benefit?"

Jasmine opened her mouth, wanting to answer "yes".

But just as the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered the murals in the secret passage.

The high gods in this world once ignored thousands of creatures, and they ushered in an ending.

Swallowing the words back, Jasmine began to think deeply about the deep meaning of Link's question.

For a long time, considering that this was the academy's two-district competition, Jasmine linked Link's words with the academy's main and side quests to think about.

Suddenly, Jasmine's eyes lit up.

She figured it out!

Meeting Link's expectant gaze, Jasmine replied softly but firmly, "I can!"

The background color of a wizard is cold-blooded and rational.

If saving this strange world requires a great sacrifice, why save it?
If destroying this strange world would not benefit me, why should I destroy it?
In all things, I am the master.

We cannot stick to so-called camps and positions.

This may be one of the deep meanings behind the college's arrangement of the competition between the two districts.

Let wizard apprentices lay the mentality foundation to become a qualified wizard.

That being the case, let's see the big picture from a young age.

As far as the academy is concerned, it is naturally that the interests of the academy are paramount.

What Link said, there are countless more difficult battles waiting for them, so it is not difficult to understand.

If a college wants to grow and develop, it must participate in competition.

Competition creates contradictions.

There are only two ways to resolve conflicts, reconciliation or war.

Therefore, in the foreseeable future, there will be countless academy wars waiting for Link, Jasmine, the Friends Group and the Social Terrorist Group, and everyone.

Now don't take advantage of the academy's death protection mechanism to accumulate a lot of war experience,
Is it possible to wait for the battle of life and death in the future, and then learn it temporarily?

"It's still too risky."

Even after she had figured this out, Jasmine still couldn't help complaining, "Don't let it happen again!"

"Ah."

Link nodded, not sure if he heard it or not.

Will it be changed for Jasmine?
