Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 183 Airborne Invasion Behind Enemy Lines, The Fairy King's Severed Arm

The aircraft hovers.

The hatch suddenly opened.

"Quick, quick, quick! Jump, jump, jump!"

The square-faced leader, Otis, issued an order in the team chat.

Loken took a step out of the hatch and landed on the ground.

The twins Onks and Marco followed closely behind.

"Black Cat" Betty first threw out a dozen or so bionic hummingbird scouting devices before parachuting in.

Asander gave Link a look, signaling him to learn from him, and then jumped down first.

Link observed and learned diligently.

They discovered that everyone jumped straight down, without bending over or hugging their knees, or bending over and spreading their limbs.

There is still a huge difference between wizards and mortals.

Following suit, Link also put his legs together, his whole body like a straight stone pillar, descending from the sky.

The moment Link stepped off the flying vehicle, he understood what another world truly meant.

The surface gravitational acceleration in the fairy world differs significantly from that in the wizarding world.

Assuming the surface gravitational acceleration in the Wizarding World is 10 m/s², the surface gravitational acceleration in the Fairy World is 12 m/s².

Compared to his state in the Wizarding World, Link's descent speed was significantly faster.

Atmospheric density and surface atmospheric pressure are slightly greater in the fairy world than in the wizarding world.

While in the air, Link used his mental power to activate the artifact ring on the ring finger of his left hand and scanned the composition of the air.

They discovered that the composition of the air in the fairy world was vastly different from that of the forward base and the wizarding world.

The concentration of "oxygen" is much lower.

The concentration of inert gases that ordinary humans cannot breathe is much higher.

No wonder all those demons in the isolation cell were instinctively breathing greedily.

This is like someone who has lived in an industrial city for a long time and is used to the smell of industrial fumes suddenly entering a mountain forest known as a "natural oxygen bar" and breathing in fresh air of extremely high quality.

You will definitely find yourself breathing heavily without even realizing it.

Then I felt completely different, much more relaxed.

The altitude has dropped by more than half, and we are about to land.

Link focused intently to avoid making a mistake.

They must land steadily, not fall flat on their faces, or even fall in all sorts of bizarre ways like Deadpool's Task Force.

The impact on the mission is secondary; the main thing is not to lose face.

Link didn't choose to use the flame jets from his boots to counteract the speed and force, because while that would be convenient, it would be too conspicuous.

Instead, it used the built-in levitation function of the "Defender 3202" suit.

The usually close-fitting cloak billowed slightly backward, while the boots on her feet simultaneously generated an upward buoyancy.

The descent speed suddenly decreased.

She landed lightly and gently.

In terms of appearance, posture, and temperament, except for the paint job and background, it is very similar to Batman.

As soon as Link landed, he heard Asander's voice on the team channel: "Link, stay behind me and be vigilant. If you encounter any creatures you think are of research value, let me know in advance and get permission before taking samples."

"Received, understood."

Link also replied in the team channel.

As a newcomer, you should obediently follow instructions.

Link understands this point clearly.

At this moment, Captain Otis quietly landed on the ground and began to give orders, making arrangements: "Loken clears the way, Betty scouts, Onx and Marco guard the left and right, Asander and Link in the middle, I'll cover the rear, search and advance, target: Fairy King Lin."

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Quickly following the instructions of Elder Otis, they formed a spindle-shaped formation and advanced forward to search.

Asander took the opportunity to impart his wisdom to Link:

"In the fairy world, there is a sacred place, which is the Fairy King's Forest, where the Fairy King, who was born from the rainforest fairies, resides."

Before the second battle ended, Sage Paro personally intervened and severely injured the Fairy King.

Only after that did the large-scale fairy mutations occur.

To gather intelligence on this, head straight to the Fairy King's Forest; you can't go wrong.

After a pause, considering that Link was participating in an interdimensional war for the first time and lacked many common-sense knowledge not found in textbooks, materials, and documents, he patiently began to explain:

"Below the portal to the forward base, there is a special rune array."

The world's will can descend upon the fairy world through this rune array, gradually 'influencing' the rules surrounding the forward base.

Therefore, the rules of the forward base are all aligning with those of the Wizarding World.

In the 'wilderness' where the world's will does not extend, the world's will of the fairy world reigns supreme.

I believe you must have also felt the differences in gravity, atmosphere, and ecological environment.

This is a manifestation of the absolute dominance of the world's will in the fairy world.

Some of our witchcraft and magical artifacts may fail if they do not conform to the rules of the fairy world; you should be aware of this.

Remember this: pioneering in another world and conducting reconnaissance behind enemy lines is not a dinner party.

There's not a shred of harmony left; when it's time to kill, there should be no hesitation, otherwise it will harm both yourself and others.

"Um."

Link nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then asked, "The information you sent me yesterday mentioned that wizards favored by the World Will will receive assistance from the World Will during their exploration of other worlds. What exactly this assistance entails wasn't specified. Do you know? Could you tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Asander suddenly fell silent.

After a long pause, he opened the team chat and said in a sour tone, "Link just asked me what kind of assistance those favored by the World's Will will receive during the pioneering process. I hope everyone can answer him together; I can't be the only one leading the newbies!"

We are all team members; we share the good times and the bad.

We can't let Asander be the only one suffering from this kind of stimulation, right?

"snort!"

Loken was the first to respond, looking quite displeased.

"I know, but I don't want to say."

Betty's nickname is "Black Cat," and she has a proud and aloof personality, just like a cat.

"Hehe, hehe..."

The twins, Onks and Marco, both let out cryptic laughter.

Finally, the great Otis provided an explanation: "As long as the world's will descends upon another world, even if it doesn't cover it completely, but only has a few 'outposts,' such as the current fairy world, you don't need to worry about the magic failing."

After saying that, Elder Otis emphasized another point: "Before becoming a formal wizard, gaining the favor of the world's will will make your advancement to sage relatively easier. If this is your case, congratulations."

The reactions of the crowd, especially Loken's, made Link realize that he had inadvertently made a move against Versailles.

It seemed like he was just asking a normal question.

In reality, just like that old Wang, when he casually mentioned earning a small goal, he had already pretended to succeed in an instant.

"Thank you, Otis."

After a moment's thought, Link decided that it would be best to speak less in the future.

Asander has completely fallen silent.

I guess he just doesn't want to talk to this arrogant guy next to him.

I was afraid that I would be suddenly attacked again.

Link stopped speaking easily, but instead continued to move with the group while remaining vigilant and watching his surroundings.

Within the "seed" in her sea of ​​consciousness, Flandre also observes the fairy world through Link's perspective.

The "seed" is currently in its second phase, requiring a large amount of biological information, biological resources, and mineral resources. It is wondering if it can find something in the fairy world that can be devoured and digested by the "seed".

Horses won't get fat without night grass.

It's too slow to rely solely on earning magic stones to exchange for the resources needed to cultivate "seeds".

It would be more efficient to have a few more times like when the world's will favors us, instantly completing the first stage of sublimation.

Even if such a good thing doesn't happen, getting a free ticket is still good.

The procession moved very quickly.

Even though they were deep behind enemy lines, close to the heart of the rainforest fairies.

Not only is the terrain complex, but you may also encounter rainforest fairy patrols at any time.

However, with the help of Betty the Black Cat's reconnaissance and route planning.

The special forces team bypassed all sentries, patrols, and traps, and strolled leisurely to the edge of the Fairy King's Forest.

"Ten-minute break."

As they were about to enter the Fairy King's Forest, Lord Otis ordered the group to halt their advance.

Inside the "seed," Flandre also shouted at the same time, "Master, master, we've found something, we've found something!"

Link immediately focused on receiving the information shared by Flandre.

It turned out that on the edge of the Fairy King's Forest, on the only way for the special forces team to enter the forest, there was a cluster of inconspicuous flowers that caught Flandre's attention.

The "seed" did not have the "desire" to devour the peanut bush.

Flandre instinctively felt that there was something unusual about this cluster of flowers.

Flandre received all of Link's knowledge and, as the "spirit" of the "seed," possesses many qualities that distinguish her from Link, yet surpass her in intuition, perception, and way of thinking.

This is not due to intelligence, but rather to a different perspective.

After several incidents, Link had come to completely trust Flandre's keen intuition in this regard.

Link stared intently at the cluster of flowers.

With a solid foundation of knowledge, the "Botanical Talent" provides further support, and the "Potionistry Talent" offers additional assistance.

In just a few glances, Link also noticed something unusual.

"Report: An unknown discovery has been made. Request an investigation."

Just as everyone in the team was preparing to follow Otis's orders and rest, Link suddenly shouted this in the team channel, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"agree."

Otis responded immediately and ordered, "Abandon rest and remain on high alert. Asander will accompany Link to conduct the investigation."

"Yes."

Everyone responded in unison and went about their own business.

Betty the "Black Cat" adjusted the arrangement of the bionic hummingbird to bring the entire 2-kilometer radius around it under surveillance.

Loken faced the Fairy King Lin, ready to engage the enemy at any moment.

The twins, Onx and Marco, spread out to the left and right.

The great Otis stood still, closed his eyes, and began to sense things carefully.

This is what true pioneering in another world is like.

With the help of various intelligent magical artifacts developed by the mechanic wizards, especially reconnaissance artifacts, marches will be very smooth and almost undetectable.

However, once research into the other world begins, it is highly likely to attract the attention and interference of the will of that other world.

Using various methods, such as impulsive decisions, pronouncements, or unusual phenomena, to alert indigenous groups is the most common form of interference.

Sometimes, they might even directly trigger natural disasters.

Be careful and be prepared to react at any time.

As Asander accompanied Link toward the flowerbed, he kindly offered a reminder.

"Yes, I will."

Link gave a solemn response.

Listening to advice and having a good meal, Link immediately instructed Flandre to increase the level of vigilance, while he himself remained highly alert.

Upon arriving at the flowerbed, Link took off his backpack, retrieved a set of miniaturized botany experimental equipment, and began to get busy.

Take a sample first.

Two samples were taken from each part, from the pollen on the petals to the stamens, leaves, flower branches, and roots. Two flowers were also carefully pulled up by the roots and sampled as a whole.

Next, two separate samples were taken from the soil under the flower bushes.

One sample is stored in a backpack, and the other sample is tested on-site.

Retest.

Bottles, jars, cups, and tubes are all used, and cutting and dripping are done in turn.

One sample after another was processed quickly, and all that was left was to wait for the test results.

I'm just idling around anyway.

Link picked a flower, held it in his hand, and examined it carefully.

In many cases, we cannot rely too much on instrument detection; visual observation can also reveal important information or clues.

This time, Link may have hit the jackpot, or he may have relied on his knowledge and talent.

He discovered something very interesting in the stamen area.

Similar to the three spiral-shaped dots in the pupil of a deformed fairy!

Very, very small, extremely inconspicuous.

You wouldn't notice it at all without careful observation.

How could Link not investigate the stamen of a flower with such a shape?

He carefully released some of his spiritual energy to "touch" the "Sharingan" of the flower's stamen and sense it.

Nothing special about it, it looks like it grew naturally.

However, the more natural the fairy world is, the more unusual things Link needs to be aware of.

Alternatively, this flower is a material used by fairies for biochemical modification and enhancement;

Or perhaps this flower underwent some kind of stimulation that caused a mutation.

Link's gaze fell on the soil beneath the flowerbed, which was clearly different from the surrounding soil. He couldn't help but recall the plants that had undergone mutations after absorbing the flesh and blood of the gods during the competition between the two districts.

For example, what incredible thing is buried underground?

"Report: I believe there might be something hidden under the flowerbed. Request permission to dig."

After thinking it over, Link decided not to do it himself, but instead to make the other team members work themselves out.

In case of danger, at least he, a novice, won't have to face it directly; he'll have experienced and capable teammates to take his place.

This is a very reasonable idea.

The big boss, Otis, glanced in this direction.

Even through the mask, one could clearly feel the dazzling light that flashed in his eyes at that moment.

It seems to have seen through the soil, trying to find directly what Link thinks is buried.

Unfortunately, they returned empty-handed, but discovered something unusual.

His expression instantly turned serious, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Link, step back. Asander, make your move. Be careful."

"Yes."

Asander immediately accepted the order, reached to his waist, and a miniature intelligent puppet landed on the ground, growing larger with a crackling sound.

With a few squeaks, the intelligent puppet started up, extending a mechanical arm like an excavator bucket to begin digging.

Asander stood in front of Link, ready to strike at any moment.

Before long, the shallow soil was dug up, revealing a patch of bright red blood.

"Pause for a moment, I need to take a sample."

Link spoke up in time; otherwise, given the efficiency of the intelligent puppet, it would have quickly dug up all the bloodstains.

Even if it can be salvaged, an important research subject may still be lost.

Asander reacted extremely quickly.

The intelligent puppet stopped moving immediately.

Link quickly stepped forward under Asander's close protection and Otis's watchful eye, and swiftly took samples of the bloodstains and the soil stained with them.

Once the sampling was completed, they immediately returned.

The intelligent puppet continued its excavation.

A short while later, a severed arm, emerald green and covered with layers of scales, appeared before everyone.

Even though it had been buried underground for a long time, it remained intact and even exuded a faint aura of power.

"The Fairy King's severed arm?"

Assande exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

After carefully sensing the surroundings, the powerful Otis confirmed his guess: "Yes, otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to escape my notice just now."

It turned out that when he looked through the soil earlier, he didn't find anything specific, but what he sensed was the Fairy King's severed arm.

That makes sense.

The Fairy King's rank is, after all, equivalent to a fourth-level sage.

This discovery is important, not only because it has high research value, but also because it can help the staff formulate operational plans.

This single discovery alone demonstrates the value of Link Grand, whom Asander insisted on bringing along.

Indeed, he is a talented individual!

"Put it away and take it back for further study."

Euthys's mind raced, but this did not prevent him from issuing the order decisively.

"Yes."

Asander agreed.

This time, Link wasn't allowed to do anything.

Asander took a miniature refrigerator from his pocket, enlarged it to normal size, and placed the Fairy King's severed arm inside.

Close the box.

Assander then took out a magic device that blocked the sensor and locked the refrigerator.

In this way, the Fairy King would not be able to sense the special forces team's movements through the severed limbs.

Ortis then walked up to Link, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly:

"You're good."

Don't hold back anymore, just go for it.

"As long as I'm here, no one can touch you, don't worry."

Not far away, Loken's face instantly twisted in pain.

That was said to him on purpose, right?

It's a warning to him, to behave himself and not to make any moves against Link, the pretty boy, right?

day!

I'm so annoyed.
