Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 193 Where Did You Come From, Where Are You Going Back To?

This is a real-life example of a snake swallowing an elephant.

What's unusual is that the "seed" snake has a large capacity but a relatively weak digestive ability.

Although it shouldn't cause indigestion symptoms.

However, it would take a very, very long time to completely devour and digest the soul of the Level 4 Extraordinary Life Fairy King.

Neither Link nor Flandre has the ability to speed up this process.

This means that Flandre, as the "spirit" of the "seed," will be homeless for some time to come.

In the cultivation secret realm, through the unknown methods of an unnamed giant, Flandre's life form became extremely special.

Within the "seed" and in the real world, there is a real, tangible life, a living person.

It can also transform from real to virtual, existing within Link's sea of ​​consciousness.

Link's current situation is not suitable for summoning Flandre and bringing her with him.

Therefore, Flandre had to stay in Link's sea of ​​consciousness for quite some time.

With the permissions granted by Link, Flandre can move existing "structures" in Link's mind without touching their contents.

They could also build new "structures" that are only aesthetically pleasing but not functional, as their dwelling place.

"Sir, may I have a small house built for me?"

However, Flandre did not rush to build it, but first consulted Link's opinion.

"Yes, we can build it next to the library."

Link had no reason to refuse.

Flandre has already endured the elements; she can't afford to sleep outdoors any longer.

In that case, Link would truly become a heartless capitalist.

"Thank you, sir. You're such a kind man."

Flandre's face broke into a big, sweet smile, and she cheered with joy.

Immediately, she multitasked, monitoring the movements of the fairy king's soul inside the "seed" while happily working, tidying up and building the "structure," all the while humming a little tune.

Link couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

Indeed, only when one is free from worries can one be carefree and more easily experience happiness.

He only hoped that Flandre was truly carefree.

Instead of suppressing their emotions and appearing carefree on the surface.

Even now, Link can't forget Flandre's reluctance to part with the Godslayer and her plea to stay that day.

I can't forget Flandre's heartbreaking cry after briefly regaining her father's love only to lose it again.

The pain of losing a loved one, once it passes the initial stage, becomes like water.

It is dense and continuous; when small, it is silent; when large, it is turbulent.

Link hoped that Flandre wouldn't suddenly feel a lump in her throat and burst into tears at some unexpected moment.

That feeling was very uncomfortable.

With his mind at ease and seeing that neither the sea of ​​knowledge nor the "seed" was a problem, Link stopped paying too much attention to it.

He brought his consciousness back to the real world.

After a period of patient waiting, the results of the Fairy King's blood test came out.

Link picked up the results, read them carefully, and compared them meticulously.

A detailed test report naturally differs from the results obtained hastily before.

This provides Link with more solid evidence to support his inference that the Fairy King's physical form has undergone a change.

However, this result is not particularly significant for the special forces team's current situation.

However, it does offer some insights into Link's research topic.

Before joining the special forces team, Link had two unfinished tasks:

First, we need to explore the essence of the fairies' innate talents and abilities;

Second, we will improve and enhance the biochemical modification and strengthening plan to improve the talents and abilities of fairies.

To this day, much research work on these two topics remains unfinished, and no results have been achieved yet.

It is important to know Link's initial motivation for joining the special forces team and infiltrating behind enemy lines.

But it was precisely to find more materials, conduct more experiments, and obtain more data for these two topics.

Instead of destroying the "biological factory" and hunting down the Fairy King.

We must not put the cart before the horse.

Now that the Fairy King's soul has willingly walked into the trap, Link can focus on his own private matters without worry.

So, after Asander finished his conversation with the big boss Otis, he saw Link becoming increasingly obsessed with all kinds of biochemical experiments.

"No madness, no life."

Asander shook his head and remarked, "Your crazy tendencies are quite a good match for Iris."

Upon hearing this, Link looked up in surprise, but didn't know what to say.

After all, the other party was Iris's future brother-in-law, and he had taken good care of her along the way.

Iris Clark, who was suspected to be a fellow countrywoman, hadn't done anything bad to him and even offered to support him financially.

There was absolutely no need to say anything unpleasant.

Before he could say it, Link was the master.

Once the words were spoken, Link became a slave to his words.

That might cause some complications and make everyone unhappy.

Swallowing back the words that were about to come out, Link gave Asander an awkward smile and continued with his various experiments.

Asander deliberately walked away a bit, not wanting to disturb Link's research.

Until the support team arrived and joined them.

Following instructions from the frontline command, the two squads were merged and placed under the unified command of Boss Otis.

Another level-three wizard, Valerian, who oversees the intelligence department, is assisting him.

The mission is simple and clear: to capture the fleeing Fairy King.

This indicates that the frontline command judged that the Fairy King at this time was absolutely incapable of dealing with two level-three wizards.

After the two teams met, they didn't exchange many pleasantries and immediately began the search for the Fairy King under the leadership of Elder Otis.

The initial progress was quite smooth, and they quickly found the Fairy King's incomplete physical body.

Unfortunately, the Fairy King's soul has vanished without a trace. (Link mutters: I know.)

After preserving the Fairy King's mangled body, which has some research value, the two teams continued their mission to search for the Fairy King's soul.

At first, Link thought that the "seed" might take a long time to devour the Fairy King's soul, so he didn't pay much attention.

I thought to myself, let them search and arrest us, how long will it take?

It should only take a day or two at most; we can afford to wait.

Who could have known that even after the third campaign ended, the two squads still hadn't received permission from the frontline command to terminate their search mission?

Yes, the Third Battle is over!

After the three major fortresses and the royal court fell one after another, and the Fairy King failed to appear for a long time.

The fairy royal family's resistance instantly dropped to its lowest point.

Apart from sporadic small-scale resistance, the entire fairy world can be said to be under the control of the Paro Sage Legion.

Even the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince were captured alive one after another.

Except for a few nobles and generals with an extremely strong will to resist who died on the battlefield, all the fairy royal family members were taken prisoner.

The princes of the major fairy clans, who knelt down faster than anyone else, were ordered to form a five-clan government to govern the fairy world.

Yes, the rainforest fairies are no longer royalty, but they remain one of the five major fairy clans, possessing political status equal to that of the mountain, grassland, river, and deep-sea clans.

This greatly displeased the four demon kings, who harbored resentment.

However, circumstances are beyond our control.

The fate of the fairy world is now in the hands of the Palo Sage Legion.

The Palo Sage Legion has spoken: all four races must share their experiences, and any complaints must also be heard.

There is no room for negotiation.

If that doesn't work, try a fairy.

Anyway, there are plenty of fairies who covet their positions.

As the four clan dukes experienced a higher level of power, they also felt the faintly visible binding ropes around their necks.

The representatives of the rainforest fairies could not be chosen from the three princes, the direct line of the royal family, or even the major branches of the royal family.

In the end, the one who stood out was an elderly man from humble beginnings but highly respected by the people.

This choice will help to further appease the rainforest fairy race.

After all, having ruled the fairy world for nearly a thousand years, even though the Paro Sage Legion annihilated a large portion of the rainforest fairy race's military strength, the rainforest fairies still possessed substantial resources. With a little mobilization, training, and arming, they could raise an army capable of fighting against the other four races.

Wouldn't it be creating more trouble by appointing a young, strong, and prestigious fairy as the representative of the rainforest fairies?

It's so much easier to nip this problem in the bud.

The first thing the government, which governed the five ethnic groups together, did after its establishment was to hold a public trial.

The subjects of the public trial were the Fairy King (who was absent), the three princes, other members of the royal family, and some nobles of the royal family.

The charges brought in during the public trial were numerous, ranging from bullying and monopolizing markets, abducting men's wives and daughters, corruption, and disregard for human life to extravagance, lavish construction projects, waging war, and wasting public resources, and so on.

The sole purpose is to shatter the positive image of the fairy royal family, the royal clan, and the fairy king, and to portray them as villains, thereby eliminating the series of consequences caused by the war and preventing possible rebellions.

Those who participated in the prosecution and hearings were mainly poor representatives of the lower classes and ordinary people in various groups.

Nobles can observe without being forced; it's entirely up to their personal choice.

The public trial lasted for three days.

Later on, the situation even got a little out of control.

Because the fairy royal family has really done too many terrible things.

There are far too many poor and common people who have suffered oppression from royalty and the royal family.

Like drops of water forming an ocean, so many victims gathered together, recounting the oppression and persecution they suffered, which aroused the anger of too many demons.

I wish I could devour these despicable scum and parasites alive on the spot.

Later, thanks to the efforts of the government governing the five races, order was not completely lost.

The final result was that the three princes, other members of the royal family, and some nobles who were on trial were beaten to death.

The body was left intact.

The fairy nobles who were watching were all terrified and turned pale.

Especially the third prince, who was born with a disability, shouted before he died, "Today it is me, tomorrow it will be you, I am waiting for you."

This terrified many fairy nobles.

Everyone knows that the third prince is the wisest and most insightful of the three princes.

He must have had a purpose in shouting that before he died, but he must have also seen some trend.

Perhaps, the social structure of the fairy world will undergo even more dramatic changes.

The nobles of each ethnic group hoped that their status, power, and interests would not be greatly impacted.

As a result, everyone enthusiastically participated in the formation of the government jointly governed by the five ethnic groups.

From the central government to local governments, at all levels and in all institutions, the establishment process proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

The Paro Sage Legion's conquest of the fairy world has successfully entered a transitional phase, primarily consisting of the second phase of ideological warfare, supplemented by the third phase of controlled rule.

These were the contents read aloud by Asander, the sorcerer who was practically a human radio, as he read the Legion Gazette every day to relieve boredom.

Link listened for a bit, got a general idea, and that was it; he didn't really care about these things.

What he cares about now is when this search operation, which is destined to be fruitless, will finally end.

It would be pointless for the two teams to wander around the Fairy King's Forest for as long as they wanted.

Unfortunately, without permission from the frontline command, the two squads could only wander around in the Fairy King's Forest.

Doing the same thing day after day, without any skill required, and without being able to show anything unusual, is extremely boring.

Link has two projects that are about to yield final results, but he still needs time to study them.

As a result, I felt increasingly bored and annoyed.

If it weren't for the fact that "seeds" are so easy to attract covetous eyes, Link would have been willing to lay his cards on the table.

Tell everyone that he's about to kill the Fairy King's soul!

No more wandering around the Fairy King's Forest all day!

But he didn't dare; he could only mutter it under his breath.

With no other option, Link could only activate "Brain Opacity" to block out the relevant emotions and tough it out.

Thus, another 7 "days" were wasted.

On this day, news came from the front-line command that the Sage of Paro had confirmed, through special means, that the Fairy King was completely dead.

The will of the wizarding world has completely corrupted the will of the fairy world.

Both teams were allowed to terminate their search mission and return to the forward base for rest.

Yes, the main force of the Paro Sage Legion is still stationed at the forward base.

Only a small number of departments that need to liaise with the government jointly governed by the five fairy races will be stationed in the royal court or other places.

The first thing to do upon returning to base was, of course, to report on my work.

As the leader of the special forces team, Otis was given the opportunity to report to Sage Paro one-on-one.

The duration was as long as thirty minutes.

Valerian, also a level three wizard, can report to Sage Paro one-on-one as the leader of the support team.

However, he refused and had the senior figure Otis submit the performance report on his behalf.

This man was very taciturn; after the two teams met, he didn't say more than 20 sentences except when giving orders.

With the special forces team's reporting for duty concluded, Link's temporary assignment also ended, and he regained his "freedom."

After saying goodbye to Asander, to Loken who couldn't stand Link no matter what, and to all the members of the special forces and support teams, Link turned and walked into the tent where the Sage of Paro was.

Link is also qualified to give one-on-one reports!

This surprised everyone, yet it also seemed reasonable.

The news had already spread throughout the legion that Sage Paro valued Link Grande highly, treating him almost like his own son.

It's just a simple one-on-one report; nothing surprising.

"What's wrong? Just say it."

Inside the tent, Sage Paro sat back in a rocking chair, his eyes closed as if dozing, a hint of fatigue lingering between his brows.

Even a fourth-level sage cannot escape the toil of paperwork.

"My research will soon yield results, but I'm still lacking some experimental materials, such as cadavers and live subjects."

Link didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

With the war over, biochemical research could no longer be conducted too openly.

We must obtain permission from the frontline command to acquire experimental materials, and then proceed secretly.

"Just apply normally, don't make it too special."

The Sage Paro did not object, but merely offered a word of advice.

"Yes, I will."

Link nodded, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't mention the "seed" and the Fairy King's soul.

Just as the sage Paro once advised:

Some things can be done but not said; some things can be said but not done.

The matter of the "seed" and the Fairy King's soul can only be done, not spoken of.

"Go back to the pharmacy department in the rear. Old man Murphy is looking forward to your return."

Sage Paro waved his hand, dismissing Link and outlining his next move.

"Thank you, Sage Paro."

Link was very happy to accept this arrangement.

The work in the pharmacy department is easy, the laboratory facilities are complete, and the boss is easy to talk to. Where else can you find such a good job?

After bidding farewell to Sage Paro, Link immediately informed old man Murphy that he was about to return, and then headed towards the teleportation portal not far away.

After waiting in line for a short while, Link stepped into the portal.

A moment later, they were transported to the human world, from the fairy world's advance base to the desolate world's rear camp.

As Link stepped out of the portal, he immediately saw the eagerly awaiting old man Murphy.

Upon seeing Link, old man Murphy opened his arms to welcome him.

After giving him a big bear hug, old man Murphy shouted loudly again:

"I missed you so much!"

This chapter is more of a transitional one.

To wrap up the storyline, and leave a couple of clues for future chapters.

The conquest of the fairy world has actually been foreshadowed all along. The fairy world's level cap is 5, so conquering it isn't too difficult.

This was merely a practice exercise arranged by the academy for the Sage Paro to help him transition into his new role.

It also highlights the college's unique characteristics, or rather, its quirky sense of humor, its penchant for creating plot holes.

This part of the story also doesn't depict any battles or war scenes.

The focus is more on pharmaceutical and biochemical research.

This leads to some established settings, such as the five major wizarding factions, the fate of the four saints who sacrificed themselves, and the ultimate weapon in the wizarding world's conquest of the heavens: the World Will.

In addition, I focused on describing some of the characteristics of True Spirit Wizards and Body Refining Wizards.

There's so much I want to express and so much I want to write.

I tried to simplify things, but I still feel there are too many shortcomings and dilemmas.

It's still not written very well.

keep it up!

Finally, the protagonist's symptoms this time didn't quite allow him to "eat" his fill yet.
