Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 152 Seeds, Seeds Again

Consciousness withdraws from the sea of ​​consciousness.

They stopped thinking about serious business.

Link picked up his portable smart device, logged into the "forum," and planned to clear his head.

The forum was already in an uproar.

All sorts of news are flying around, and heated discussions are everywhere.

After briefly browsing through several trending posts, Link was surprised to find that the most frequently occurring word was "Link Grand".

Upon closer inspection, the "Brotherhood" and "Social Anxiety Group" have transformed into "Link Fans," roaming around the "forum" and praising him to the skies.

What? My boss wiped out three "Pureblood Will" members with a wave of his hand;

What? My boss just smiled slightly, causing a massive explosion that evaporated the seven "Pureblood Will" members.

What? My boss is incredibly wise and resourceful, causing a massive explosion that instantly vaporized more than sixty people in the North District;

What?! My boss outperformed over a thousand people from the North District and won first place in the two-district competition!

They boast mindlessly from all angles and in all ways.

It seems Link Grand is invincible!

Link had hoped to clear his head, but ended up retreating in defeat.

This is too cheesy; I don't have the nerve to keep reading.

All I can do is get a good night's sleep.

During the competition between the two districts, I was on tenterhooks, scheming against each other, and I didn't get a single good night's sleep.

I slept soundly through the night.

The next day.

Link woke up early in the morning feeling refreshed.

The academy is absolutely outrageous; they didn't give us any buffer time at all.

Yesterday was the big competition between the two districts, and today we have to start classes.

The transformation from a war-torn "world" to a classroom where only the lecturer's voice is heard is quite hardcore.

It seems that for the academy, the most important thing for a wizard apprentice is to study.

Study until you drop dead, study like there's no tomorrow.

rest?

That's a pretty nice idea.

Fortunately, Link had the help of "brain shut-in" to adjust his mindset in time and did not experience any maladjustment.

After a semester and a half of training, Jasmine has become exceptionally adept at adapting to a fast-paced lifestyle.

Unlike the others, I didn't sigh and groan, looking listless and weak.

She got up early, ate in the cafeteria, prepared for class, and focused on her lessons, just like any other day.

The only thing that bothered Jasmine was that no matter where she went, strange eyes were always fixed on her and Link, staring at them intently.

It felt like I was back in the time when I was being "cyberbullied".

Unpleasant memories surfaced, making me feel somewhat irritable.

The slightly better thing is that she didn't sense much malice from those strange looks.

The vast majority are driven by curiosity, while a small portion are by admiration.

Only those who can't stand seeing others do well, those who have a grudge against Link, and those who are envious, jealous, and hateful would be full of malice.

When Jasmine encounters someone like that, she simply glares back.

We're all experiencing life for the first time, why should I give way to you?

The first day after the competition between the two districts passed in a slightly strange atmosphere.

After dinner.

The laboratory on the third basement floor.

Jasmine casually complained about the strange looks she received, venting some of her anger before calming down.

She originally wanted to share with Link her achievements in the two regional competitions, the awards she received, and her joy.

I'm not in the mood for it anymore.

Link waited for a while, and seeing that Jasmine had no intention of doing so, he didn't ask her directly.

He sat in front of an office computer and reproduced all the research data he had recorded for use in subsequent research.

The "seed" is the origin of that broken world.

These research materials may not be of much use in cultivating "seeds", but they can serve as a reference to some extent.

It's good to avoid taking some detours.

Link also plans to buy other people's research materials, experimental records, and even water samples, soil, plant specimens, and animal specimens.

Once the academy's reward arrived, I had a large, comprehensive laboratory of my own. I then set aside an area within that laboratory specifically for studying all aspects of the ravaged world.

However, I can't do this myself.

You need to wear several layers of disguise.

Otherwise, even if others couldn't guess that he had obtained the Seed of Origin, they would guess that he had obtained one or more treasures that were highly related to the broken world.

Otherwise, with the competitions in both districts already over, why bother collecting these things?

There must be something fishy going on.

With a thought, all the research data was entered into the AI ​​through brainwave contact.

Then it was printed out, a thick stack.

What?

Shouldn't we use the "keyboard" to type?

A supercomputer!

Wouldn't it be perfectly normal to have a more convenient brainwave recording function?

One of the foundations of a wizard is mental power.

Brainwave recording is easy, convenient, and fast—much faster than typing on a keyboard.

After organizing the materials, the group of men arrived at the laboratory.

The social anxiety group is currently under observation and will not be allowed into the laboratory for the time being.

Moreover, the laboratory that the wizard Paro granted a six-month usage right for is about to expire.

The social anxiety group passed the assessment and will be going to a large-scale comprehensive laboratory that will not be available until tomorrow.

"Buck, Lynn, you two come here. There's something I need you to do."

Link tidied up the documents in his hand and waved to the group of men.

"Boss, just let me know if you need anything."

Buck and Lynn immediately broke away from the main group and headed towards Link.

Ezio, Deejaculate, and Dalton, realizing they were a few steps behind, went to greet their leader, Molly, first.

"You guys need to find a way, without doing it yourselves, to secretly buy all the research data, water samples, soil samples, and specimens of the participating apprentices through other people, whether it's the South District or the North District."

Link assigned Buck and Lynn a difficult task.

The key and difficulty in doing this well lies not in the opposition between the South and North districts, but in concealing one's identity.

Lynn is thoughtful and considerate.

He knew that there must be a reason why the bigwigs didn't show up themselves and also wanted them not to.

Without asking why, Lynn stopped Buck, who was about to readily agree, and calmly asked:

"Boss, there's no need to rush, right? If you want to operate this in secret, you'll have to go through several roundabout steps, so it won't be quick."

Take your time, there's no rush.

Link gave Lynn a reply that made her breathe a little easier.

There's no rush.

This allows you to take your time and operate with precision.

"This is the funding; if it's not enough, come to me for more."

Link took out another box and handed it to Buck and Lynn.

The box contained Link's last few dozen magic stones.

It can truly be described as losing everything.

"Ezio, Deeja, Dalton, come here for a second."

After telling Buck and Lynn to go aside and discuss the plan, Link issued another summons.

Ezio, Deeja, and Dalton, who were chatting with Jasmine, immediately smiled apologetically at Jasmine upon hearing this.

Walking up to Link, the three of them said in unison:

"Boss, what are your orders?"

Link instructed, "I need the three of you to stir up conflict between purebloods and halfbloods on the 'Forum' recently, as well as to incite negative emotions among new blood towards purebloods."

"No problem, boss."

Ezio stepped forward to take on the task and then asked, "Boss, is there anything else?"

"have."

Link nodded and looked at Deeja, "You should spend more time with Betty and McGee, find out what they think, and see if they're willing to move forward with us and grow together."

"Okay, boss, I understand."

Dijon was very happy to receive his personal mission.

Is this just a task?

This is a sign of trust from a powerful figure!

After arranging these matters, Link gestured for the group of men to go and study.

The competition between the two districts is over; it's time to look forward.

Learning is a lifelong process.

late at night.

Everyone left the laboratory.

After taking Jasmine back to her dorm, Link went alone to the witchcraft trading center.

Three awards

We'll be receiving the large, comprehensive laboratory first thing tomorrow morning.

The best option for entering the apprentice-level training realm is to wait until the holidays.

Now is the best time to acquire your innate witchcraft and corresponding resources.

First-level sorcery is not so easy to learn.

The corresponding knowledge base is extremely broad.

With Link's current knowledge base, it's still quite challenging.

Therefore, before entering the cultivation secret realm, Link made sure to thoroughly understand the knowledge of the innate witchcraft that the academy had rewarded him with.

This is how efficiency is achieved.

Shortly after, Link entered the witchcraft trading center.

Having visited the sorcery trading center so many times, this was Link's first time entering the small room.

After verifying his identity and confirming his choice, Link took the scroll of his innate sorcery model and a small bag containing something.

Without opening the bag to check it on the spot, Link went straight back to his dormitory.

There's nothing to check.

The college is unlikely to make any mistakes.

Even if something goes wrong, can Link spot it on the spot?

It can't be detected by examination, so there's no need to worry unnecessarily.

Dormitory, study.

Link uses his mental power and magic to communicate with the scroll at a specific frequency.

An extremely complex runic structure appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness.

After looking at it carefully, Link felt like he was looking at a chip structure diagram.

Layer upon layer, intricate and complex.

Level 1 sorcery is at least one generation ahead of Level 0 sorcery in terms of its sorcery model.

Link carefully studied the rules and runes he was not very familiar with, and selected out the corresponding knowledge one by one.

Thanks to the large amount of beginner-level 0-ring sorcery stockpiled for the two-zone competition, in terms of rule runes, there are only 12 level 1 rule runes that have not been touched.

Yes, rule runes also have different levels.

The core runes for 0-ring sorcery are level 0 rule runes;

The core runes of 1st-level sorcery are level 1 rule runes, with a large number of level 0 rule runes as auxiliary runes.

According to the academy's teaching schedule, these 12 Level 1 rule runes can only be learned in the spring semester of the second year and the fall semester of the third year.

Link's situation was special, so he had to find his own way and study the relevant "Spellbook" in advance.

Some materials can be found in the advanced literature library, and there is more content on the "Credit" redemption page.

"Looks like I'll have to find a way to publish some 'papers'."

Link plans to use his general research skills—paper writing—to write a few "papers" about the various events during the two-region competition and make a quick buck.

Moreover, this action not only allows one to earn "credits," but also provides cover for secretly sending people to collect research materials and specimens.

Having experienced two academic "competitions," it's normal to be cautious.

With the plan in place, Link continued to focus on his innate sorcery.

The spell had a rather vulgar name, "Armor Armor," but its effects thrilled Link.

"Armor Orchid" is a very special orchid, resembling a layered miniature armor. It is waterproof, fireproof, extremely tough, and has a strong survival ability.

After being transformed and activated by the magic model, the "Armor Orchid," carefully cultivated and fused by the wizard, will, in a very short time, extend and cover the wizard's entire body like nanomaterials, forming a suit of armor.

Link imagined the effects of using the 1st-level innate sorcery spell "Armor of the Armor".

A picture suddenly appeared in my mind.

That was in Avengers: Infinity War, Iron Man Tony Stark, wearing a tight-fitting sports suit, strolled down the street, pressed his fingers on his chest a few times, and his nanotech suit smoothly extended out, covering his entire body, and he entered battle mode.

Handsome and cool.

want to!

Link couldn't help but get excited.

He repeatedly browsed the description accompanying the sorcery model and confirmed that the 1st-level innate sorcery "Armor Armor" was extremely similar to the nanosuit in both its form and actual effect, and he was instantly energized.

"So cool, it should be mine!"

Link clenched his right fist and slammed it hard on his left palm, uttering a line that seemed out of place in the scene.

He was so excited.

Armor, a treasure that so many people dreamed of in their childhood.

Now that he is about to realize this childhood dream from his previous life, how could he not be excited?

After taking a few deep breaths to calm his excited heart, Link put away the magic model scroll, opened the bag, and poured out its contents.

It turned out to be a round, black seed!

"It really is a seed."

Even though he had a premonition, Link couldn't help but sigh when he confirmed it.

He's really had a knack for seeds lately.

I just obtained a Seed of the World's Origin, but I haven't figured out how to cultivate it yet.

Now, the reward for your innate sorcery even comes with a plant seed.

Link picked up the dark, black orchid seed and examined it closely.

The seeds themselves are nothing special; they are just ordinary seeds of extraordinary plants.

What's unusual is that Link sensed an anomaly in his sea of ​​consciousness.

With a thought, Link summoned the seed of origin that caused the disturbance in his sea of ​​consciousness, preparing to find out the reason.

The "seed" hovered in front of Link's brow, emitting waves of energy.

Tell Link that it longs to devour the seeds of the Kalanchoe.

Link couldn't help but frown slightly.

He knew that "seeds" required a lot of resources to cultivate.

However, the Kalan Seed is related to learning the first-level innate sorcery skill "Kalan Armor," so it cannot be given away easily.

Having been absorbed and consumed by the "seed," where would he find a second Kailan seed to learn witchcraft?

Link frowned slightly, focusing his gaze on the core of the "seed".

The little girl looked up and met Link's eyes.

After a moment, the little girl, who had accepted the fact that her father had given his life to bring her back to life, timidly said, "Master, please give me a name."

Link thought for a moment and said, "From now on, you will be called Flandre. Also, don't use the title 'Master'."

"Flandre will obey your orders. May I ask how Flandre should address you from now on?"

"Little girl," Flandre asked cutely, blinking her big eyes.

"Well……"

Link pondered for a moment, then said, "Just call me Master (something like 'My Lord' or 'Your Majesty')."

"Yes, sir."

Flandre quickly accepted the somewhat oddly grammatically awkward form of address and then asked, "Does Master have any orders?"

Link directly sent the Kalanchoe seed and his first-circle innate sorcery spell "Kalanchoe Armor" into the core of the seed, and granted Flandre all permissions to the seed, asking, "If this plant seed is absorbed and digested by the seed, will it affect the learning and use of sorcery?"

Flandre is the "spirit" of the "seeds," and she can provide Link with the answer to this question.

In particular, Link had just shared everything he had learned with Flandre through his connection with the "seed".

She can access all knowledge at will, use it for "calculation," and arrive at the answer.

Flandre's large eyes flashed with "data streams".

The source power of the entire "seed" became active, helping Flandre to "calculate".

Before long, Flandre got the results.

In her eyes, the "data stream" converged, and a look of excitement flickered.

He said loudly, "My lord, based on the knowledge you shared, it seems we can improve the 'Kailan Armor' 1st-circle sorcery, casting it directly with 'Seed' as the core."

Link was surprised to receive such a big surprise from his first interaction with Flandre.

If Flandre's "vision" could truly be realized, she would fight alongside others while wielding the power of a world.

What is a single seed of a cymbidium?

I wouldn't be stingy with a hundred or a thousand.

The issue is,

Can it be achieved?
