Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 316 Inexplicable

The destruction of the world is not something that can be done overnight.

The extinction and rebirth of organic species require even more time.

Even though Flandre had simulated it many times in her sea of ​​consciousness and figured out the various parameters, she was still able to do so.

But reality is not a simulation.

The real "small world" cannot be accelerated at will like the small world of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Not to mention Flandre, who is a "Spirit of the World," even Link, who is a "Lord of the World," couldn't do that.

This involves time rules!

During the apocalypse and evolution, the real "small world" can still provide reverse summoning and teleportation functions as usual.

There's no need to worry too much about Link's safety.

Moreover, there is virtually no chance of a life-threatening crisis during this extracurricular activity.

The mission assigned to Link by the Academy is to serve as a member of an envoy to the Tower of the Great Sage Michel and to negotiate with the other party on certain matters.

In war, envoys are not to be killed.

Perhaps, given the current strained relationship between the two organizations, the Great Sage's Tower of Michelle might send wizards to provoke them.

Alternatively, both organizations may need to engage in several clashes at various levels to test their strength.

The intensity of the fight might be higher, but it's unlikely to escalate to the point of life or death.

Therefore, Link confidently performed the ninth system draw and the destruction of the real "small world" the day before his mission to the Tower of the Great Sage Michel.

Jasmine's extracurricular activity this time was also as a member of the delegation.

However, the country she accompanied on her mission was Shadow City.

"Link, why aren't you coming down yet?"

As soon as you mention Jasmine, Jasmine's voice comes through.

"Here it comes."

Link silently instructed Flandre to keep an eye on the progress of the real "small world" and to call him anytime if anything happened, then left the study and went downstairs.

The tea drink has a brand-new formula, and it was developed and made entirely by Jasmine herself, so of course I had to go and support it.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be ignoring all the effort and hard work?

After tasting the new tea and giving feedback, and chatting for a while, Jasmine suddenly asked a question.

"Link, should I inquire about Christina's situation while I'm at it?"

Since Christina received the "Shadow Annihilation" set and returned to Shadow City, there has been no further news of her.

Whether it is life or death, good or bad, is unknown.

Jasmine wasn't really concerned about Christina's safety; she just wanted to help Link track the usage, effects, and data of the "Shadow Annihilation" set.

Thinking this way might seem a bit cold-hearted.

However, there's nothing particularly wrong with it.

Christina insisted on returning to Shadow City, so if anything happens to her, she'll have to take responsibility herself.

Link and Jasmine have no connection whatsoever with a single magic stone.

"Need not."

Link said, "Let nature take its course. As for the feedback and data on the use of 'Shadow Annihilation'..."

Having guessed Jasmine's thoughts, Link pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There's no rush."

"Alright."

Jasmine did not insist.

Ultimately, Jasmine knew that what Link truly valued was the "Shadow Serpent's Bite" special set designed specifically for Garona.

While the "Shadow Annihilation" set was of a very good standard, it didn't particularly impress Link himself.

I'm happy if I reap a reward, but it doesn't matter if I don't.

"Let's prioritize the mission."

Link emphasized one point.

"Um."

Jasmine nodded.

The two then stopped talking about this and quietly enjoyed their tea.

We're setting off tomorrow, joining different delegations to different wizarding organizations.

It can take anywhere from a week to ten days or half a month to see each other.

We should cherish the opportunity to spend time together in peace and tranquility.

The next day.

Link and Jasmine set off early to find their respective delegations.

The Wizarding World is native to the Wizarding World.

West Coast, Tudor Region, Michel District, Michel's Great Sage Tower.

The delegation from Rivoss College arrived at their destination in a very low-key manner.

The Tower of Great Sages also kept a low profile when welcoming the delegation from Rivosos Academy.

The delegation from Rivosos Academy consisted of six wizards.

The ambassador is Ms. Lisandra, a sixth-level sage;

The deputy envoy was Fletcher Domingo, a fifth-level sage.

Of the remaining three members of the delegation, two were acquaintances of Link.

Cody the Wizard, a fourth-level sage;

Renee Clark, a level 3 wizard.

The only person I didn't recognize was a level one wizard.

This person is from a prominent family at the academy's main campus and has never had any interaction with Link.

Link deduced some information from the composition of the delegation.

This mission might, after negotiations reach a stalemate, ultimately require a contest to decide certain matters.

Otherwise, why bother to assemble an envoy that includes wizards from level one to level six?

The delegation sent by the Tower of Great Sages to receive the Rivosos Academy delegation also consisted of six wizards, emphasizing equality.

The leader, also a Level 6 Sage, was Cowell Ludwell.

In terms of status, rank, and strength, she is not much inferior to Ms. Lisandra.

Link found this information on the "official website" of the Great Sage's Tower of Michel.

Similar to the Rivoss Academy, the core leaders truly responsible for the daily affairs of the Great Sage Tower of Michel are also Level 6 and Level 5 Sages.

Cowell Ludwell, a sixth-level sage, is a member of the core leadership of the Tower of Great Sages, and ranks extremely high.

It was very appropriate for him to receive Ms. Lisandra.

"Gentlemen, this way please."

After exchanging pleasantries with Ms. Lisandra, Cowell Ludwell led both groups to a large conference room.

A long conference table was placed in the center of the conference room.

There was nothing on the conference table.

Not even a glass of water was prepared.

This glimpse reveals the attitude of the Tower of Great Sages towards the visit of the Rivosos Academy.

They were practically shouting, "You're not welcome here!"

The two teams sat on opposite sides, creating a standoff.

"My trip represents not only Rivoss Academy, but also the Flame and Metal Merchant Guild and the White Tower Alliance."

As soon as Fang sat down, Ms. Lisandra took the initiative and gave him a "baptism of fire".

Cowell Ludwell showed no surprise whatsoever, but instead smiled calmly and said, "Lissandra, I won't discuss these things with you. Let them handle the small matters. What I want to talk to you about are the rules of the universe."

This statement, intended to provoke Cowell Ludwell, ironically backfired on Ms. Lisandra, who was instead provoked.

At first glance, it doesn't sound harsh; it's quite normal.

If you savor it carefully, you can appreciate its flavor.

This is a sarcastic remark directed at Ms. Lisandra, who is concerned with trivial matters that are inconsistent with her status and position, and are considered too low-class.

It's not very classy at all!

Unwittingly, Cowell Ludwell gained a slight advantage.

It must be said that the art of language is still very much worth studying.

On Rivosos's side, Fletcher Domingo, acting as the deputy envoy, bluntly replied, "That's right, we'll handle the small matters. As for the big ones, you guys handle them. Uh..."

Just as Ms. Lisandra couldn't help but change color, and some members of the Great Sage's Tower negotiation team showed smiles on their faces.

Fletcher Domingo hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject, saying in a strange tone, "For important matters, Ms. Lisandra can make decisions on behalf of the Diomand family, but Sage Ludwell, can you make the final decision? I'm not doubting, just a little questioning."

As is widely known, the Diormand family is ≈ Rivosos Academy.

As long as Ms. Lisandra's decisions are not too outrageous, the Diormand family will cover them.

Naturally, it can make the decision on behalf of Rivolius College.

While Cowell Ludwell, a sixth-level sage, was a core leader of the Great Sage's Tower and ranked very high, he was ultimately not a member of the Michel family.

He couldn't make the final decision on many things.

No matter how high-level a professional manager is, they still can't escape the essence of being a working person!

This counterattack directly hit Cowell Ludwell's sore spot, allowing him to successfully turn the tide.

Meanwhile, in the negotiation team of the Great Sage's Tower, the second-level wizard who had a smile on his face quickly composed himself.

He feared that if he hesitated even a second longer, he would be glared at to death by the clearly offended Sage Cowell Ludwell.

It must be said that speaking frankly can often produce remarkable results.

Even Ms. Lisandra had some doubts about whether Fletcher Domingo had been feigning madness for nearly a century.

However, the thought of his younger brother Forrest's judgment of character quickly dispelled his doubts.

It was just a lucky accident.

An unexpected delight.

After a brief exchange of words, the two sides reached a draw.

Cowell Ludwell quickly composed himself and casually led the equally nonchalant Ms. Lisandra to the meeting room attached to the main conference room for a private chat.

Both teams remained behind to begin negotiations and deliberations.

In terms of actual status, Link was on par with the wizard Renee within the Rivosos Academy delegation.

However, Link didn't handle many of the negotiations and didn't need to say much.

The two teams went back and forth, neither willing to give in, and the dispute remained unresolved.

The negotiations were extremely heated.

If none of you here were at least Level 1 Wizards, we'd probably be arguing like crazy.

And so, the two teams argued back and forth from morning till sunset, without reaching an agreement on even the first negotiation topic.

Both sides presented their own arguments, exchanged their opinions thoroughly, and then tacitly agreed that they couldn't be bothered with each other.

"In view of the above points, we believe that the Tower of the Great Sage of Michel, as the representative of the Michel District, should have full right to know and make decisions regarding the special 'strange guest' matter."

Therefore, Link Grand Wizard, who accompanied the special "strange guest" Iris Clark Wizard to undergo the first test, must take the initiative to give us a detailed and comprehensive report.

They did not accept our inquiries unconditionally.

The third-level wizard in the Great Sage's Tower negotiation team, after giving a lengthy and eloquent speech listing a whole host of the Great Sage's Tower's achievements and contributions, suddenly turned his attention to Link Grand, who had remained silent until now.

After listening quietly all day, Link never expected that the conversation, which was originally about how to release the wizards captured by the Great Sage's Tower from the Liejin Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance, would somehow get tangled up with him.

The negotiations will be over in a little while.

Link stared blankly at the level three wizard.

The others stared intently at Link.

Even Sage Fletcher Domingo, who was the deputy envoy of the Rivosos Academy delegation, did not react by taking the blame or changing the subject, but waited for Link's response.

Renee Clark opened her mouth as if to say something, but then her ears twitched and she swallowed the words she was about to say.

Link stared intently at the level three wizard, showing no sign of saying anything.

The large conference room, which had been noisy all day, fell into an eerie silence.

"you……"

For some reason, this level three wizard felt he couldn't take it anymore. Link Grand stared at him without any murderous intent and spoke up.

"What about me?"

Link finally spoke his first words since arriving at the Great Sage's Tower.

The level-three wizard swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down from the intense stare. He kept his voice as calm as possible and asked, "When do you plan to report to us and be questioned?"

Link smiled and calmly asked, "Since when did the status and rules of the Great Sage's Tower of Michel surpass those of the Supreme Council?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the five wizards of the Great Sage's Tower, including the fifth-level sage, all changed color.

You shouldn't say things like that.

With five saints presiding over the Supreme Council, can it arbitrarily criticize or compare other wizarding organizations to it?

Ironically, what Link said made a lot of sense, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Regarding the special "extraordinary guest," the Supreme Council accepted and approved the claim application from Rivosos Academy, acknowledging that the special "extraordinary guest," Iris Clark, belonged to Rivosos Academy.

After all, what the Supreme Council needs is not the special "extra" himself, but the passage to another parallel universe.

The request, or rather the order, made by that level-three wizard in the Tower of the Great Sage Michelle was utterly unreasonable and absurd.

Link's approach is perfectly reasonable.

"Hehehe..."

Fletcher Domingo suddenly burst into laughter.

Everyone's attention was drawn to him again, which ironically saved the Great Sage's Tower from its predicament.

The atmosphere in the conference room was prevented from escalating further into something even stranger.

After laughing, Sage Fletcher Domingo stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "We've been arguing all day and haven't gotten anything out of it. It's pointless. Let's call it a day and continue tomorrow."

Before turning away, the wise Fletcher Domingo emphasized, "Go back and get some rest. When you come to talk tomorrow, remember to use your brains and don't say anything stupid."

After saying that, Fletcher Domingo ignored Ms. Lisandra and went straight out of the conference room to his accommodations arranged by the Great Sage's Tower.

The remaining four members of the Rivosos Academy delegation followed in single file.

In the reception room.

Ms. Lisandra looked at Cowell Ludwell and sighed softly:

"Your Great Sage's Tower truly produces talented individuals!"

There's only one chapter today.

I'm in such a bad state, I can't type anymore!
