Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 195 That felt good!

"this……"

The witch Celine hadn't expected Link to agree so readily, yet offer such difficult conditions.

Soon, she realized that Loken must have done something rather excessive again, which had angered the petty little guy on the screen.

She knew that the little guy had been on a mission with Locken a few days ago.

Given Loken's increasingly arrogant and extreme personality, he'll probably be tempted to do something outrageous.

This little guy, once he's provoked, he'll retaliate.

They really hold grudges!

Finding it somewhat amusing, the wizard Celine gave Link a reproachful look, then forced a smile, wanting to laugh but unable to.

I wanted to offer some advice, but I couldn't bring myself to say it.

After all, it takes two to tango, and Loken was in the wrong first.

Sending someone to teach Loken a lesson and make him remember it would seem like a good idea, quite nice.

Celine the Wizard thought about it and decided to let it go, too lazy to bother with the mess between Link and Loken.

Let them make a mess of it themselves.

"I told Loken the news. As for what he thinks, whether he agrees or not, that's his choice."

After saying that, the wizard Celine ended the video call with Link.

After adjusting her mood slightly and suppressing the smile on her lips, the wizard Celine sent a communication request to Loken.

"Sister Celine, are you missing me? That's great, I'm missing you too."

The communication was established almost instantly, followed by Loken's deep, muffled voice.

When combined with slightly cheesy or greasy words, it seems very incongruous and makes people feel strange.

I can't help but get goosebumps all over my body.

"Don't call me 'sister,' call me 'Teacher Celine.' Also, don't talk like that; it's so glib and unprofessional."

The witch Celine glared at Loken's square face and scolded him before saying, "I just discovered a potion that helps with body tempering. If the data is accurate, it's perfect for you in every way, far better than the one you're currently using, and it won't affect your soul or mind. There are just two problems..."

As Loken listened to Celine's words, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

If it weren't for the potion hindering him, with his own physical talent and the many physical talents he had transplanted, he would have already advanced to a level three wizard.

This is indeed Celine the Wizard's area of ​​expertise in potion-making, which leans more towards the soul and elements, and she is not good at developing potions for the body or in the biochemical field.

I once tried to develop a body-refining potion for Loken, but for various reasons, I failed and never restarted research in this area.

Good and suitable body-refining potions available on the market are overpriced in the West Coast area.

With Loken's income, he could barely afford it if he gritted his teeth.

However, body tempering requires more than just potions; there are many other expenses as well.

For example, treating hidden physical injuries, nourishing the soul, protective gear...

Each one consumes a lot of magic stones.

Only after making a choice will Loken use a slightly cheaper but flawed potion.

In this way, although it may have some impact on mental development and temperament, it will result in balanced development in all aspects, without any particular weakness or unbalanced development.

The biggest fear for a body-refining wizard is having obvious weaknesses that can be exploited and targeted by the enemy.

Now he has the opportunity to obtain a body-refining potion certified by the sorceress Celine, which is suitable for him in all aspects and has no side effects on his soul and mind.

How could Loken not be overjoyed?

This will definitely accelerate his cultivation progress and help him advance to the third level wizard as soon as possible, standing shoulder to shoulder with Wizard Celine.

Being inferior in status and strength, he could not appear alongside the wizard Celine on many formal occasions, which was truly disheartening.

Feel the contemptuous looks from others, like a toad trying to eat swan meat.

That really hurts my self-esteem!

"Which two problems? Sister Celine said that we should overcome what we can and overcome what we can't. We're definitely going to use the medicine that Sister Celine recommended, I said."

Loken thumped his chest, making a loud, resounding sound, his words carrying weight.

He truly has the demeanor of a great man; his word is his bond.

He appeared to fully trust the wizard Celine and had no intention of going back on his word.

Suppressing a laugh, the witch Celine said:

"The first problem is that the drug has just been developed, and the data is all from the laboratory; it hasn't been tested yet."

The second problem is that the person who developed the drug is Link Grand, and he promised to let you try it, but you have to ask him for it yourself.

After saying that, Wizard Celine didn't look at Loken's stiff, constipated face any longer and hung up the video call.

Loken's nostrils flared as he breathed heavily, his chest heaving violently, his teeth clenched, and his fists clenched tightly.

The joy they felt before has now turned into double or even triple the anger.

beg?

Whom should I ask?

Looking for Link Grand?

In my entire life, I, Loken, have only ever asked Celine for favors; I've never asked anyone else.

Even if he eventually becomes a muscle-bound brute, he'll never ask anyone for help.

Especially that pretty boy Link Grand!

Goodness, he really holds a grudge.

It was just a slap and a threat, wasn't it?

They actually wanted to peel my face off, throw it on the ground, and stomp on it.

That's truly malicious.

What a despicable person!

Loken was furious.

Rear camp, pharmacy department.

After Link ended his communication with the wizard Celine, he glanced at the two sets of final-version potions packaged on the table—one for targeted enhancement and the other for overall improvement—and a slightly eerie smile crept across his face.

The initial version was developed with the aim of improving wizards' aptitude, especially in the area of ​​souls.

In the final version, while removing factors related to the soul, the research and development direction was specifically adjusted, focusing on enhancing physical qualities rather than improving physical talents.

The witch Celine was right.

The final version of the potion was actually custom-made by Link for Loken.

This guess demonstrates Celine's keen intuition as a skilled potion developer.

Link is a generous person.

Loken only harbored ill will towards him; it hadn't escalated to hostility or even murderous intent.

The only harm done to him was that slap and the intimidating threat of "I'll be watching you."

Therefore, Link's revenge was relatively mild and not so extreme.

It didn't escalate to the point of violence.

In other words, after Loken tried the potion developed by Link, he no longer wanted to use the problematic body-refining potion from before.

This forced the arrogant and extreme Loken to lower his head and beg Link not to cut off the supply of the potion.

Link knew that, given Loken's temperament, he would not agree immediately upon learning the conditions for obtaining the potion.

No problem, Link was prepared.

He fiddled with the AI ​​for a bit and mailed the two sets of potions to the wizard Celine.

This was partly to have the witch Celine verify the potion's data, and partly to have Loken try it out through Celine.

Link was confident that once Loken tried it, he would never want to use the problematic potion again.

This is similar to how military enthusiasts, once they have the J-20, start to look down on the J-8, which has made so many contributions.

People are always prone to getting tired of the old and wanting the new.

This is human nature.

After the intelligent puppet took the package, Link informed the wizard Celine of the news and then stopped worrying about it.

Let the bullets fly for a while.

Now, take a break.

After being so busy for so long, it's time to relax.

With nothing else to do, Link entertained himself by watching The Fairy King's Soul Struggle.

Then, while we're at it, let's think about how to defend our sea of ​​consciousness.

The sea of ​​consciousness has been punctured twice already, it's as fragile as paper.

It's time to strengthen our defenses.

Lacking relevant information at hand, Link simply asked Asander for some materials on the soul, will, and consciousness from a true spirit wizard.

This is also to prepare knowledge for the problems that may be encountered when relearning the Wizard's version of the "Water and Wood Mutual Generation Meditation Method" after the "Seed" has devoured the Meditation Ball.

It's better to be prepared.

Preparation is key to success, and lack of preparation leads to failure.

Three days passed leisurely in Link's leisurely manner.

During this period, three "papers" were successfully published.

In particular, the third article, which details the principles, flaws, and improvements of the biochemical modification and enhancement scheme to improve the talents and abilities of fairies, was featured on the cover of the academy's academic journal, "All Heavens."

The name of the first author of the paper, "Link Grand," is prominently displayed in the font.

After the magazine was published, old man Murphy ordered several extra copies, giving two to the pharmaceutical research and development team and the pharmaceutical refining team, and sending two more to the frontline medical department.

Those who remained in the pharmacy department had extremely mixed feelings.

If they didn't join the protests of the two acting group leaders who had already been ousted, leading to Link's resignation from both group leadership positions.

As is customary, these three papers will list the authors as the third and fourth authors.

It can at least enrich your resume and earn you some valuable "credits".

After becoming a full-fledged wizard, it becomes increasingly difficult to publish "papers".

Old man Murphy felt that this was not enough to vent his anger.

After thinking about it, he made another special trip to the medical department's residence at the forward base.

Blocking the entrance to the medical department, old man Murphy lavishly "praised" Level 3 wizard Boro Salosar for his "wise" leadership of the department.

The potion developers and apothecaries that Celine had trained so well, under Salosar's leadership, abandoned their proper research and academic paths and instead turned to intrigue and backstabbing.

These words and actions enraged the wizard Salosar, who declared that he would duel with the old man Murphy, who was spouting nonsense based on his seniority!

Later, it was the sage Paro who stepped in to mediate.

This is why the wizard Salosar didn't bother with the old man Murphy and gave up his desire to duel.

When leaving the forward base and returning to the rear camp, old man Murphy held his head high, like a general who had won a great victory.

Vigorous and arrogant.

Link watched the climax of this farce through a "live stream" shared by Asander.

That is, the scene where the wizard Salosar was so angry with old man Murphy that he jumped up and down, shouting for a duel, while old man Murphy, with his thick skin, said that he was only a second-level wizard and could not beat Salosar, so he directly admitted defeat.

After reading it, Link was completely stunned.

He thought that after learning from the sage Paro, his ability to annoy people was already quite good.

I never expected there to be someone even stronger than the strongest.

Old Murphy actually possesses such a talent for spewing insults.

I admire you! I admire you!

Looks like I'll have to learn some new tricks from old man Murphy.

We should be able to use it against Loken in a while.

The Wizarding World, West Coast, City of Rivosos.

The witch Celine looked at the two sets of potions in front of her, as well as the potion instructions she had just finished reading, and was speechless.

"This little brat is throwing a tantrum, is it never going to end?!"

How could Celine not guess what Link was up to? She was speechless.

She knew perfectly well that Link's soul originated from another dimension and that he was an "outsider."

There's a reason why they always refer to Link as "little guy" and treat him like a real little kid.

The mysteries of the soul are infinite.

The mystery of the connection between the body and the soul is also infinite.

The wizarding world has been studied by predecessors.

The soul of an ordinary person in their 100s is "reincarnated" and merges with the body of an 11 or 12-year-old. Their mind, emotions, and way of thinking will become increasingly younger.

Instead of maintaining the gloom and somberness of someone in their 100s.

Therefore, no matter how mature Link thinks he is, many times, the things he does reveal the characteristics of a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.

Passionate, reckless, and just looking for a carefree and enjoyable experience.

It's just that they appear relatively mature in their daily interactions with others.

In the eyes of the wizard Celine and the sage Paro, Link Grand was truly just a little kid!

After her initial reflection, the wizard Celine still tested both sets of potions.

The test results were almost identical to those recorded in the drug instructions.

This proves that the body-refining potion developed by Link is indeed very suitable for Locken Merton.

After careful consideration, the sorceress Celine decided to grant Link's wish and sent him a set of all-around enhancement potions. In a serious tone, she ordered him to try them and provide feedback.

In this matter, the wizard Celine is on Link's side.

It's not that Celine the Wizard disregarded Locken's pride.

Compared to the prospect of promotion, losing a little face is nothing.

Loken was at fault first and should pay the price.

When Loken received the potion, he was instantly paralyzed.

He had just sworn a few days ago that he wouldn't beg that pretty boy Link Grand.

As a result, his beloved sister Celine actually sent him a body-refining potion developed by the pretty boy.

If he hadn't been jealous of the pretty boy's talent in pharmacology, and if he hadn't been jealous of the pretty boy's ability to gain Celine's favor, praise, and closeness, he could have bullied the younger man and dislocated the pretty boy's arm with a single slap.

How could he disregard everything, smear the image of gigolos, and intimidate and threaten them?

No!

Therefore, Loken was well aware that the body-refining potion developed by Link Grand would undoubtedly be very suitable for him.

But the clearer he was about it, the less he could use it.

Once you start using it, you probably won't be able to get rid of it.

For a body-refining wizard, the body's reactions do not lie.

If it were possible to obtain a better and more suitable medicine at a relatively low cost.

Even if you don't want to, your body will rebel.

Everything in the world has its advantages and disadvantages.

Looking at the seven bottles of potion in his hand, Loken already foresaw the day he would lose all face.

"What a fucking bastard!"

He cursed angrily, then touched his bald head, wishing he could smash his head against that petty pretty boy.

Unfortunately not.

Loken had no choice but to try this set of medicines.

A set of seven bottles, one bottle per day.

Seven days passed quickly.

One batch of medicine was used up quickly.

Loken didn't know how to express his feelings.

In terms of the medicine's effectiveness alone, it is undoubtedly extremely good.

Adding the condition of ensuring a continuous supply of medicine, it is undoubtedly extremely damn good.

Just as I was thinking about how to deal with it, the wizard Celine sent a video call request.

After hesitating for a moment, Loken did not answer the call immediately as he usually did.

"Don't want to ask for help?"

The witch Celine asked coldly, "Can't you swallow your pride?"

Loken remained silent.

"You decide what to do."

After saying that, the wizard Celine hung up the phone.

day!

Loken launched into a tirade of curses.

Instead of this look of disappointment, I'd rather give them a good scolding.

Helpless, in order not to affect Celine's feelings towards him, Loken reluctantly and slowly made his way to the rear camp and the apothecary.

Link was found in the newly established research group's laboratory.

"I……"

Loken hesitated for a long time, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

Link smiled, gestured to the box containing enough potions to last two months, and said in a calm tone:

"No need to say anything more, just take it."

All Link wanted was for Loken to bow his head.

Come and get the medicine; it doesn't matter whether you say nice things or not.

After this incident, was Loken still able to stand up to Link?

impossible!

The objective has been achieved. Let's call it a day and stop while we're ahead.

Don't go too far!
