Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 221 is over, there's no escaping it!

"OK."

Christina immediately agreed.

The drug Link was referring to was a potion called "Reversal," which he was unable to fully develop.

Its intended effect is to reverse the physical deformities caused by biochemical modifications.

The research and development approach was correct, but because Christina was pregnant, many destructive tests and stimulating experiments could not be completed due to a lack of supporting data.

Therefore, the "reversal" drug can only be considered a semi-finished product.

Half a year has passed, and Christina has no more vacation time; she must hurry back to Shadow City.

There was no time for Link to continue developing the "Reversal" drug.

However, even though it was only a semi-finished product, Christina was very satisfied.

It was the right decision to come here seeking help from Link.

Besides the food, clothing, shelter, and transportation in Rivosos City, and the replenishment of life force, a lot of magic stones were spent.

She achieved her goal of having a child without putting in any effort.

Well……

Christina didn't take the idea of using them as experimental subjects seriously.

She's used to it.

After thanking Link and the wizard Celine once again, Christina, carrying her infant daughter, returned to her rented accommodation, tidied up, and prepared to head home.

Actually, she didn't have much to pack. It mainly consisted of semi-finished "Reversal" potions and some regular potions for her daughter, such as the Li Xuancao series.

These kinds of medications that can help with meditation can, to some extent, stabilize the soul and consciousness of an infant.

After Christina left, the wizard Celine took a box out of her pocket (not a spatial storage artifact), handed it to Link, and said, "It just arrived yesterday."

Link took the box, opened it, and found a necklace inside.

What's rather unusual is that the pendant is actually a women's ring, and it's even in the style of a wedding ring.

"this……"

Link closed the lid, clutching the box, unsure of what to say.

He obtained a spatial storage artifact—a pocket watch—from Christina. He couldn't use it himself, so he definitely had to give it away.

The primary target is, of course, jasmine.

However, it's not really appropriate to give away things that others have used, especially things that a man has used personally, no matter how valuable they are.

You'd have to trade the pocket watch for other spatial storage artifacts of equal value, or simply make a new one.

Link had no connections with alchemists and could only turn to the sorceress Celine for help.

Who would have thought that the witch Celine would actually help, and the alchemist she asked took time out of his busy schedule to recast the pocket watch into a necklace of this style.

"What, you don't like it?"

The witch Celine smiled, her tone full of teasing.

"No, it's just..."

"What is it? Being too shy to offer it?"

"No, it's just that I don't think it's very good."

"How could it be bad? I guarantee that the moment you send it out in the morning, it'll be crawling into your bed that very night."

"Please don't make fun of me, Wizard Celine. We're still young."

"Really? Where is it too small?"

Celine the Wizard chuckled sweetly, looked Link up and down, then glanced at Jasmine who had just walked in, and teased, "In my opinion, you're both quite old, not young at all."

Link silently retreated.

When Old Siji drives, the car wheels run right over her face.

Big?

Which one are you referring to as "big"?

Where?

"What are you talking about? What's this big and small stuff?"

Jasmine asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing."

Link quietly slipped the box he was clutching into his outer pocket.

"Ask Link yourself."

The witch Celine swayed her hips as she walked out, preparing to leave.

As the Palo Sage Legion becomes more active on the front lines, the logistical pressure on its troops is increasing.

Not only does she have to earn magic stones by managing her industries, but she also has to sell the spoils brought back to her homeland at a reasonable price. The work of the wizard Celine is becoming more and more demanding.

Of the three who originally worked at the shop—Salia, Ella, and Tina—only Tina remained, becoming a full-fledged pharmacist.

Salia and Ella both went to new units that suited them.

Ella is involved in managing interpersonal relationships, retaining existing relationships, and discovering new ones.

Salia is involved in industry management and the sale of spoils.

Aside from these three, the sorceress Celine had few capable subordinates to command.

Ultimately, the problem lies in the fact that the Paro Sages have only been established for a short time, while the front lines require far too many talented individuals.

Every single one of the loyal members cultivated in the early years has been sent to the front lines.

In the years leading up to the Sage title, the supervision and guidance of the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" were neglected, resulting in a rapid decline in the success rate, with only three talents emerging: Salia, Ella, and Tina.

Link took these things to heart and learned from them.

"Christina is gone?"

Jasmine watched Celine the wizard leave, then asked a question.

"I'm gone."

Link nodded.

"So what are your plans next? Are you really going to open the shop with peace of mind?"

Jasmine's eyes were full of doubt.

Her internship has ended, and she is about to enter the second stage of her studies. She will graduate in one more fall semester.

The "Brotherhood" and "Social Anxiety Group" will also enter the first stage of advanced training.

Link's trusted followers are about to make their debut.

Jasmine didn't believe that Link had no other intentions and would stay in the country to run a pharmacy.

Link didn't hide anything from Jasmine, and said seriously, "This isn't about what I plan to do, it's about what I need to do."

Say less, and it's all clear.

Jasmine shut her mouth, raised her finger and pointed upwards, her eyes showing doubt and concern.

Link nodded silently, confirming Jasmine's guess.

A hint of worry flashed across Jasmine's brow, and she asked cautiously, "Is there any definite news, or...?"

Link replied, "My intuition, or rather, my premonition."

"I see."

Jasmine seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

She was aware of Link's sensory abilities and had studied related knowledge.

It is known that among the four saints who have perished, one of them was a saint who pioneered a mystical system based on prophecy and curses.

With the fall of the mystical saint, he devoted himself to the will of the world and rebuilt the world.

Prophecy and witchcraft then completely disappeared from the wizarding world.

Scattered forms of curse magic have been passed down, but they are vastly different from the original curse magic. They are no longer based on mysterious connections to cast curses, but rather on biological information and spiritual imprints.

In terms of effectiveness and concealment, it is far inferior.

Link's perceptions, intuitions, and premonitions were previously categorized as belonging to the mystical realm, which had produced a saint.

Therefore, not only does Link trust his perceptions, intuitions, and premonitions, but Molly also trusts Link's perceptions, intuitions, and premonitions.

With heavy thoughts on her mind, Jasmine followed Link out of the underground laboratory and onto the first floor.

Seeing this, Link instructed the intelligent butler Hamid to prepare a total of 24 different tea drinks for Jasmine to taste and offer suggestions or opinions.

Jasmine also cooperated by suppressing her emotions and tasting all 24 kinds of tea.

Aside from a few tea drinks based on green tea that Jasmine doesn't particularly like, everything else is great, including matcha.

Despite being both green tea derivatives, their evaluations differ greatly.

Link had anticipated this.

The target customer groups are inherently different, and such differences are perfectly normal.

Link waved for Hamid to clear the table, then took out a box, casually pushed it in front of Jasmine, and said casually, "This is for you."

"What is it? Why did you suddenly decide to give me a gift?"

As Jasmine spoke with a puzzled expression, she quickly picked up the box, as if afraid it would fly away.

"See for yourself."

After saying that, Link got up and went upstairs to his study.

"ah!"

I had only taken a few steps when a joyful shout came from behind me.

Immediately, a soft body bumped into his back.

Two tender, white arms, exuding a delicate fragrance, tightly encircled her neck.

Her warm, red lips pressed firmly against his cheek, making a "mua" followed by a "boo" sound.

Jasmine pounced on Link from behind, hugged him tightly, and gave him a sweet kiss, but that wasn't enough to express her excitement.

Her legs kicked wildly, and she clung tightly to Link's back, holding on tightly with both hands to avoid falling.

Fortunately, Link's chassis is very solid, and he was not shaken and fell over.

"I do!"

As her lips parted from Link's cheek, Jasmine immediately shouted, "I do! I do!"

Link closed his eyes with a slight pain, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.

The moment he saw the pendant in the style of a wedding ring, he guessed that this scene would appear.

The problem is, it's not big enough.

"Get down here. What do you mean by 'willing' or 'unwilling'? You're talking nonsense."

Link gently shook the jasmine off and said with a stern face, "This is a spatial storage artifact, consider it a reward for you."

After saying that, without even looking at Jasmine's ambiguous smile, he quickly climbed the stairs, intending to go to the study.

Jasmine didn't care what Link was saying; she shouted again at his retreating figure, "I do!"

Link almost stumbled.

Is this never going to end?

In the last few days before the start of the fall semester, everyone saw Jasmine beaming with joy and a happy expression.

The "Brothers" group and the "Social Anxiety Group" often see the leader stroking her beloved necklace.

Looking at that wedding ring-shaped pendant, how could one not know what had happened?

In private conversations, they all expressed high praise for the boss's decisiveness and the leader's devotion.

The only girl, Betty, expressed envy towards the leader, Jasmine, wondering when she would meet a guy like her.

DeeJ Finley couldn't help but glance at Betty a few more times, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't dare to speak.

As their conversation ended and everyone dispersed, Betty, with her back to Dijk, muttered silently to herself, "Coward!"

She immediately became annoyed, wondering why this man was still so clueless.

I should have learned more from Link!

After receiving Jasmine's boastful video, Iris, in a fit of anger, cut off all contact with Link and Jasmine.

After she finished her advanced studies, her sister Renee took her to the Clark family's legion to receive more training.

He simply maintained contact with Jasmine.

Given the current situation, it is estimated that it will take a very long time to recover.

The fall semester started on time.

Link also received a notification that after waiting in line for more than six months, the latest "Hummingbird" class starship could finally be delivered.

With anticipation, Link, along with Jasmine and the wizard Celine who rarely had free time, went to receive the warship.

West District, Airport.

This was Link's first time here.

I had expected the delivery and receipt to be quite a grand affair, but instead, all I got was a smart puppet holding a tiny box in both hands.

"this one?"

Link asked a question.

He was a little confused. Why would such a casual delivery require a wait of more than six months?

"That's it."

The experienced witch Celine spoke with certainty.

On the way, she didn't say anything about it, just to see Link's stunned expression.

It's quite interesting.

"All right."

Link forcibly suppressed his slight disappointment. "Then let's open it again when we get back."

Wizard Celine shook her head and said, "It's inconvenient to open it here; it won't be convenient when we get back."

Listen to advice, and you'll have a full meal.

Link immediately opened the box and used the special method included in the delivery notice to bind the model-like starship, then started it up.

On the airport's spacious berth, a streamlined, shuttle-shaped warship painted entirely in black immediately appeared.

It is 103 meters long and 22 meters wide at its widest point.

Both ends are cockpits, allowing for free movement forward, backward, and switching of direction.

The Hummingbird-class interstellar warship has a crew capacity of only 10 people and its main features are speed, agility, and stealth.

"It's so beautiful."

Jasmine gasped in surprise; she had fallen in love with the warship at first sight.

"It is indeed quite beautiful."

Celine the Wizard chimed in, saying she had always wanted a "Hummingbird" too.

Unfortunately, their financial situation didn't allow it, so they could only tearfully buy a medium-sized interstellar warship that was three levels higher than the "Hummingbird" and could accommodate a main force regiment.

Sigh, it's all because of the magic stones.

"It's very beautiful."

Link wasn't too excited, because he suddenly remembered the terrifying consumption of starships and their high daily maintenance costs.

Another big spender of magic stones has emerged.

"Let's go back and officially launch the tea beverage series!"

Thinking about the ever-increasing demand for magic stones, Link lost his appetite for admiring the warship.

Link miniaturized the "Hummingbird" starship, packed it into a special box, put it in his pocket, and then turned and got into the car.

"Are you short on magic stones?"

Celine the Wizard did not drive herself, but sat in the back seat of the Phantom Coupe.

After getting on the bus, he asked with a smile.

"It's not that we lack it, it's just that we don't have enough."

Link answered honestly.

This is nothing to be ashamed of.

"I'll take care of you."

Since receiving the necklace, Jasmine has become increasingly unrestrained, blurting out whatever comes to mind.

"You can't afford to raise them."

The witch Celine poured cold water on their enthusiasm, saying, "What woman can afford to support men like them who only have their eyes on the high places and the distant horizon? No amount of magic stones will last them long."

As she spoke, the wizard Celine's expression darkened slightly, "What's more, they're unwilling to take the magic stones that are readily available; they insist on working hard to obtain them themselves."

Jasmine remained silent upon hearing this.

This is true.

Even if Celine was lamenting about the Sage Paro, how much better could Link be?

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became heavy.

As the person being criticized, Link didn't say much and just kept driving in silence.

Before long, the Phantom Coupe pulled up in front of the Grand Pharmacy.

After getting out of the car, Link, acting as if nothing had happened, immediately gathered all the employees of the pharmacy, including the part-time members who were "free to do whatever they want," and announced the official launch of the tea beverage series to the market.

Afterwards, Link also instructed Lynn to inform five thugs who were doing well in several secluded streets and alleys in the West End, and to have them spread the word in the West and South Ends.

Take Grand Pharmacy's tea beverage line, for example; it can be distributed.

By paying a certain deposit, one can receive a certain amount of tea drinks every day, which can then be sold in the West and South districts to earn the price difference.

What is tea?

The wizarding apprentices and wizards of Rivosos City said they had never drunk it and did not know.

But given Link Grand's reputation as a "genius pharmacist," it's worth a try.

Anyway, everyone can enjoy a free cup for the first three days.

Once you try it, you can't stop.

The prices are not high; the cheapest is only half a standard level 1 magic stone, and the most expensive is only five standard level 1 magic stones.

Not only does it taste great, but it also has a variety of unique effects.

Some nourish the internal organs, some calm the mind, some relieve sexual desire, and some refresh the spirit...

If you can think of it, you can buy it.

With a total of 24 flavors, there's bound to be one that suits your taste.

It can be drunk as a refreshing beverage or used as a medicine.

In a short period of time, it triggered a buying frenzy.
