Wizards begin with Occlumency.

"What should I do if I'm pregnant?"

People tend to overthink when they're full, Jasmine said sweetly, embracing Link like a jade lotus root.

"Then give birth to it."

Link answered without hesitation, paused, and then added, "A whole litter."

"You've only had one litter."

Jasmine rolled her eyes at Link, annoyed.

Who gives birth to a whole litter in one lifetime? Do you think she's a pig?!

Thinking this, he became even more indignant. Just as he had regained some strength, he turned over and continued to exploit her.

This shameless lifestyle lasted for two whole days before things returned to normal.

After a trip to the North for exchange and learning, Jasmine also graduated from her advanced studies at the academy's main campus.

The two can actually remain in the main campus world, but they are more used to living on the mainland.

Whether it's the lakeside villa or the villa in the northern part of Rivos, I have a deeper emotional connection to both.

If she could, Jasmine would love to live such a peaceful and beautiful life forever.

No need for travel, no need for separation.

Unfortunately not.

Link has been promoted to a fourth-level sage, and he must report to the academy, give a report, and study before leading a legion to conquer the heavens.

This is a rule that was established when the school was founded.

There may be exceptions, but Link is unlikely to receive any special treatment.

Therefore, after a short period of time together, we may have to part again.

Thinking about this, Jasmine couldn't help but feel sad.

She has been working very hard to catch up, and her progress is incredibly fast.

I went to the North for an exchange and learning trip, and then came back to witness Link's promotion. I really gained a little bit of insight.

The will of the wizarding world generously bestowed two favors upon Jasmine.

The natal spirit beast, the God-Devouring Insect, has left its cub stage and entered its growth stage.

With just a little time to process and digest these gains, becoming a level three wizard is within reach.

However, Link took even bigger steps and became a sage.

As the Devouring God Worm enters its growth stage, the feedback it provides to Jasmine naturally increases significantly, especially its two major characteristics: stealth and foresight.

After their most recent shameless encounter, Jasmine's precognitive abilities kicked in, and her words came true: she was pregnant!

This "unexpected turn of events" made Jasmine give up her idea of ​​joining the Grand Sage Legion.

She had to stay behind and take care of logistics for Link.

"It's all your fault!"

Sensing the formation of the embryo, Jasmine couldn't help but bite Link's shoulder.

What can Link do?

Just have to endure it.

Are you going to talk back?

Fortunately, Jasmine only vented her emotions slightly and didn't bite down or get angry.

After things calmed down, we got down to business.

The management style allows for complete freedom in all aspects, including the establishment of the legion's logistics, personal cultivation, and so on.

Link took some time to return to the academy's main world headquarters for a report, and then received a large amount of self-study materials and new permissions.

After that, Link settled down at the legion's base provided by the academy, studying on his own while keeping an eye on the legion's formation and training.

Whether viewed from a long-term or short-term perspective, Link's treatment is far better than that of the Sages Paro and Cody.

They have more time to learn and grow, and they don't have to undergo elimination within the legion.

And so, another month passed.

The formation and training of the Grand Sage Legion has been completely completed.

The entire corps of servants has also been equipped with brand-new "constructs".

The fighting force is complete.

On this day, Dean Forrest summoned him.

Link was prepared for this. After telling Jasmine, he set off to see the dean.

When will your tea service resume?

Unexpectedly, the first thing he said upon meeting was to interrogate her.

"We don't know for now."

Link glanced at the Immortal Martial Arts Planet in his sea of ​​consciousness, which was still the same as Amber, and answered truthfully.

Dean Forrest frowned and asked, "Didn't Rosenthal give you three worlds? Can't you grow there?"

"Yes, but it's not that convenient to take care of."

Link had naturally considered doing so as well.

But can tea trees without Flandre's care still produce such good tea leaves?

It should be noted that Flandre is able to share knowledge with Link.

Link's research on tea tree breeding, cultivation, harvesting, roasting, and processing can be shared with Flandre without any loss.

However, without a long period of study and practice, it is impossible for others to reach Flandre's level.

Therefore, Link simply stopped doing these things.

Anyway, old tea is still drinkable, so I'll just make do with it.

Moreover, some teas become more fragrant with age.

"Alright."

Dean Forrest, who had a fondness for green tea, was still somewhat unwilling, but he could only skip the topic and instead said, "Your first conquest mission has been assigned."

"What kind of world? What are the requirements?"

Link sat up straight, his attitude becoming serious.

Conquest is no small matter; it cannot be taken too seriously. The worst thing to do is to be arrogant, careless, or negligent.

"A world with a maximum level of 5 transcendence, the most special thing about this world is that gods once existed in this world."

Dean Forrest took a document from his drawer and handed it to Link, saying, "Generally speaking, the first world a newly appointed sage leads a legion to conquer is a combination of mission and reward. You are no exception."

"Um."

Link knew this rule, so he responded, took the documents, and began to look through them carefully.

The more I looked at it, the more something seemed off.

Ignoring any sense of propriety, he looked at the dean and asked in a deep voice, "Is this what you call a partial reward?"

"certainly."

Dean Forrest nodded calmly and emphasized, "In some people's eyes, this is certainly a partial reward."

Link was speechless for a moment, and really wanted to complain.

Is the academy using him as bait to catch fish?

That mission world, with a maximum level of 5 transcendent beings, did indeed have gods in the past. It was somewhat troublesome, but not insurmountable.

What's truly special is that it was once occupied by a disciple of a ninth-level sage under the tutelage of the Saint of Nostrodam.

After the saints perished and the mystical wizarding school was lost, this quest world was also left to wander.

The reason it hasn't returned to this day isn't because the wizarding world can't find any trace of it, but because no wizarding organization dares to touch it.

The disciple who occupied this mission world was none other than the one who preserved a portion of the saint's legacy.

The "cause and effect" involved is enormous!

"Why me?"

Link asked, puzzled, "The Dean should know the price I paid to sever my connection with that saint."

"certainly."

Dean Forrest answered first, then said seriously, "I've confirmed it. There's a high probability that the mission world can be transformed into your natal world."

"But it's connected to that saint!"

Link's attitude was firm; he did not blindly pursue personal gain.

Moreover, this benefit was not enough to sway Link's heart.

Are you sure you don't want it?

Dean Forrest didn't try to persuade him further. "If you're sure, I'll give you a different assignment."

As he spoke, he took out another document from the drawer.

"Let me take a look first."

Link took the documents and began to read them carefully, not missing a single detail.

The new mission world also has a level 5 transcendent cap. It has no connection with that saint, but it still brings trouble.

The lesser of two evils.

Without hesitation, Link chose to conquer the new mission world.

Isn't it just a deity from the world of gods who was reincarnated in it?

Just destroy it.

"You may leave now."

Dean Forrest put away the previous document and waved his hand impatiently.

"Thank you, Dean."

After thanking him, Link quickly left.

A moment later, a figure quietly appeared in Dean Forrest's office.

"You just changed it for him like that?"

Lissandra sat opposite Dean Forrest and asked in a low voice.

"Otherwise what?"

Dean Forrest asked a question indifferently.

"This is an order passed down from the Supreme Council."

"So what? The Supreme Council is the Supreme Council, and the five saints are the five saints."

"The Supreme Council was ultimately established by five saints."

"Was Rivosos Academy founded by the Diomand family? Since when have all of Rivosos Academy's actions been based on the will of the Diomand family?"

"I'm not going to argue with you about this; you always have a point. I just want to say that there's no need to put the academy in opposition to certain factions in the Supreme Council just for the sake of Link Grand."

"Blindly obeying will only lead to trouble. If we sacrifice Link Grand today, will we have to sacrifice you, or me, tomorrow?"

"I had no intention of sacrificing him! What's wrong with getting involved with that saint? Does it mean I want his life?"

"Oh……"

Dean Forrest gave a cold laugh, ending the unpleasant conversation between the siblings.

Lissandra turned and left.

Dean Forrest got up and went to the window, looking into the distance.

This unprecedented upheaval presents both great opportunities and great terrors.

In this major upheaval, Rivos Academy seized the lead early on, which naturally attracted the envy and targeting of some petty people.

Forrest had anticipated that certain individuals and forces would try to suppress Rivosos Academy through the Supreme Council.

He just didn't expect that those people and forces would target Link Grand.

Moreover, his actions are extremely disgusting.

They actually wanted to force Rivosos Academy to get Link Grand back into contact with that saint.

It didn't cause much damage, but it was extremely disgusting!

In this matter, Forrest withstood the pressure, secured an alternative for Link, and provided both verbal hints and practical assistance.

Lisandra actually agrees with Forrest's point of view on this matter.

only……

She needs to make some statements to appease the conservative wizards and wizarding families gathered around her.

So, an unpleasant "argument" between the siblings serves as an explanation.

The Diormand family never yielded.

Otherwise, the complete annihilation of the second generation would not have happened!

As soon as Link left the dean's office, he knew he was being watched.

Moreover, those who target them are no ordinary people or forces; their influence is so great that they can interfere with the academy's arrangements for their newly promoted sages' conquest missions.

In the wizarding world, only the High Council can do this.

However, Link did not harbor hatred towards the High Council.

Ultimately, the Supreme Council is merely a platform, a tool, which anyone with the will can utilize.

Abusing power for personal gain is nothing new.

Link's response to this matter was simply to remain calm and not respond at all.

Anyway, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up first.

As the head of their faction, Dean Forrest has an obligation to seek benefits for supporters like Link, Sage Paro, Sage Cody, and Sage Seren, and to withstand pressure.

Similarly, when Dean Forrest really needs the supporters' help, the supporters must give their full support.

Rights and obligations are always two sides of the same coin.

Link reminded himself to be extra careful and cautious, and then returned to the Grand Sage Legion's encampment as if nothing had happened.

Three main regiments, the Royal Guard, the Starfleet, the Star Destroyer Fortress, the Servant Regiment, and the Logistics Support Force are all ready to go.

As the legion commander, Link wields supreme authority within the Grand Sage Legion.

However, Link did not act unilaterally; instead, he implemented a radically modified version of democratic centralism.

All functional departments within the legion, such as the staff office, intelligence office, inspection office, and training office, have been tasked with developing at least five offensive plans, three defensive plans, and as many contingency plans as possible for this campaign.

Most importantly, every legion member must know and be familiar with how to deal with difficulties caused by force majeure.

Historical cases in the Wizarding World, such as the loss of communication between the front lines and rear camps of the Paro Sage Legion, should be used as references and lessons learned.

We will set off in ten days. Before that, all contingency plans must be completed.

Under Link's orders, the entire Grand Sage Legion sprang into action.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The offensive, defensive, and emergency plans have passed the review of the modified version of democratic centralism. The Discipline Department is responsible for disseminating them, and the Supervision Department is responsible for supervision to ensure that every member is familiar with all the plans.

Knowing when to advance and retreat, and maintaining strict discipline—these are precisely the requirements Link places on the Grand Legion.

This is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two.

It's not something you can do well just by studying and training.

Link was prepared to forge the Grand Sage Legion during marches and campaigns.

When the time came, the legion set off to begin its first battle to conquer the heavens.

All members traveled through a portal to the starry sky.

The interstellar fleet, spearheaded by the Star Destroyer Fortress, teleported collectively through a temporary, one-time portal erected in space.

Jasmine didn't see Link off; she was growing to hate farewells more and more.

Touching her still flat belly and sensing the growth of the little life inside her, Jasmine quickly suppressed all unnecessary emotions and threw herself into her work.

The Grand family was established the moment Link and Jasmine gave birth to a new generation.

Ensuring the stable development of businesses belonging to the Grand family is the mission that Jasmine has chosen for herself.

Wars are fought over resources, specifically magic stones.

Since we can't fight alongside Link for the time being, let's focus on managing our business and providing Link with magic stones and resources.

Within the Starfleet, after confirming that all warships had exited the portal, Link issued the order:

"All troops, launch an attack!" (End of Chapter)
