Wizards begin with Occlumency.

the next day.

Link went to see Dean Forrest.

The Rivoss Academy approves of Link's creation of a new school of wizardry.

The construct fairy servants produced by the Palo Sage Legion continue to perform strongly in the market and on the battlefield.

The 1.5 version construct servant legion under the Grand Sage Legion performed even more shockingly in this annihilation battle against the Abyss Demon Legion.

Some wizards within the "Freedom to Do Anything" system, who have been implanted with constructs and upgraded to version 1.5, have been thoroughly evaluated by the academy and found to be significantly more powerful than ordinary wizards in terms of combat strength.

Rivoss College is at a critical juncture, either replacing the Great Sage Tower of Michel or becoming independent from the Michel District.

Any means that can enhance the academy's immediate strength and foundation, as long as they are legitimate and sustainable, will inevitably receive support.

Upon hearing that Link intended to supply Shadow City with 1.0 constructs in the name of the Grand family's business, Dean Forrest considered the matter for a moment and then approved the plan.

The Dean told Link that the internal strife in Shadow City gave the Academy an excellent opportunity to further diminish the prestige of the Great Sage's Tower in the Michel district.

This internal strife in Shadow City was actually triggered by Christina's failed assassination attempt on a level three wizard, in which she escaped with her life.

Regardless of the amount of maneuvering involved in the struggle for the Saint's inheritance, and no matter how powerful the wizards sent by the Great Sage's Tower of Michel were, one undeniable fact remains: Christina was handed over to the Great Sage's Tower of Michel by the Shadow City for disposal.

A legitimate wizard was treated like a commodity, without having committed any serious offense or betrayed the Shadow City!

People of the same kind feel sorrow for each other.

The atmosphere inside Shadow City is inherently too high-pressure.

The middle and lower-level wizards have extremely little say and receive very little treatment.

If Christina had "defected" after being rescued by Link, or hadn't dared to retaliate after returning, the matter might have ended there.

The middle and lower classes, especially the lower classes, are best at self-deception. As long as they can survive, they can find sweetness in suffering, right?

However, Christina did not hold back and, when the opportunity arose, she launched the assassination.

The assassination target, the level three wizard, was the captain who had subdued Christina and handed her over to the Great Sage's Tower of Michelle.

After completing the mission and returning to Shadow City, the captain received a reward and was promoted to a third-level wizard.

With this good news in mind, Link left the dean's office.

Promoting 1.0 constructs within the Shadow City's sphere of influence is not so simple.

First, we need to train construct installers, which are technical personnel who can implant constructs into wizards who are interested in receiving 1.0 constructs.

Link has extensive training experience in this regard, with mature teaching materials and book lists, from his time working on construct projects with the Palo Sage Legion.

However, Link didn't have that much time to personally train the staff.

Moreover, the construct system has already evolved to version 2.0, creating the construct wizard class, so there's no need to cultivate so many constructers who are destined to be eliminated.

Based on the principle of win-win cooperation, Link set his sights on the well-established Paro Sage Legion.

Secondly, an understanding needs to be reached between the academy's senior management and the Shadow City's senior management to grant access permissions.

Finally, we need to design several ordinary sets and individual pieces suitable for the general wizards of Shadow City, as well as some special sets similar to "Shadow Annihilation".

Of the last two points, one has already been dealt with, and the other is not urgent.

Link prioritizes addressing the first point.

"Sister Celine, could you contact Sage Paro?"

Unable to contact the Sage of Paro on his own, Link turned to seeking outside help.

Having overcome a major obstacle in her pharmaceutical research, the sage Celine, in high spirits, asked with a smile, "What's wrong? He's not answering your calls?"

"Yes, I don't know what's going on with Sage Paro; we can't get in touch with him."

Link nodded, confirming Sage Celine's guess.

"hehe……"

Sage Celine laughed, her laughter was very clear and crisp.

You could faintly detect a hint of sarcasm.

"Him..."

Stopping her laughter, Sage Celine said happily, "He's a little embarrassed to answer your calls right now."

"Um?"

Link was somewhat puzzled.

There was no conflict or clash of interests between him and the Sage Paro.

Why would you be embarrassed to answer a call?

Sage Celine didn't keep him in suspense and readily said, "Paro has always believed that his talent and opportunities are top-notch. Who would have thought that after taking you as his follower, you would become such a prodigy? All his proudest achievements pale in comparison to yours."

Link was taken aback by what he heard.

Why is there such a saying?

"nonsense!"

Suddenly, the sage Paro's voice, tinged with a hint of annoyance, rang out.

Shortly after, the Sage Paro, dressed in pajamas, appeared on camera and defended himself, saying, "I was just inconvenienced just now, not as narrow-minded as you make me out to be."

Sage Serene did not refute, but merely glared at Sage Paro.

"Congratulations!"

Seeing this, Link could easily guess that Sage Celine had stopped fishing at some point, no longer teasing Sage Paro, and had taken him home.

The two are now living together.

When are Palo and Celine getting married?

Link then asked, "I need to prepare a gift to thank Sage Paro for his care all this time, and to thank Sister Celine for her kindness."

"Don't panic."

Sage Celine replied, "Our marriage isn't that simple, so there's no rush. But when are you and Jasmine having your wedding? Jasmine's already pregnant. You two are moving pretty fast!"

Link paused for a moment upon hearing this, then replied truthfully, "Soon, it's planned before the next expedition."

The Rivoss Academy will only provide Sage-level wizards with one free opportunity to conquer world coordinates.

That's why there's a saying that it's half task and half reward.

After that, sage-level wizards will need to find the coordinates of the worlds they can conquer themselves, or purchase them from the academy.

If the college has other tasks, then there is a different set of rules.

"Didn't you just sell a world? Why are you in such a hurry to go to war?"

With a wave of his hand, the Sage Paro changed his clothes and asked, puzzled.

So far, aside from the Fairy World, the Sage of Paro has only conquered another world with a maximum level of 5 Transcendent.

The Palo Sage Legion is currently resting and regrouping.

The next war among the heavens may not happen for another two or three months.

"To earn magic stones."

Link sighed, "The bigger the operation, the more places we need to use magic stones."

The entire Grand Sage Legion relies on Link to provide them with magic stones.

The college has some support policies, but they are not enough to make a difference; they are just a token gesture.

After Link became a sage, the "Freedom to Do Anything" organization spontaneously changed its constitution, transforming from a democratic public organization into a private organization under the command of the sage Grand.

This change was made with Sandra's tacit approval, Jasmine's encouragement, and the cooperation of the members.

Unable to defy popular opinion, Link had no choice but to accept it.

Therefore, regarding funding, although crowdfunding is still an option, Link will also have to contribute some magic stones as a token of appreciation.

"Hmm...that's true."

These words struck a chord with the wise man of Paro.

Wizards like them, who come from the Storm Sea and have no family support, relying entirely on their own efforts, will indeed have an increasing demand for magic stones.

It would take at least several decades or even a hundred years to develop a stable industrial chain that doesn't require much attention.

Sage Paro was also worried about how to expand his sources of magic stones.

He had no intention of actually using the magic stones Celine earned from potion research to support his legion.

"I contacted the Sage Paro today to discuss a collaboration."

Link then explained the purpose of the contact.

"What kind of cooperation?"

Sage Paro immediately became interested.

Next, the two began to discuss the matter of exporting version 1.0 constructs to Shadow City.

Sage Serene would occasionally interject, asking questions that Sage Paro found difficult to answer or that he wasn't familiar with regarding the construct system.

After talking for about an hour, an agreement was reached and the details of the cooperation were roughly settled.

As for the specific signing of cooperation agreements, it certainly cannot be done so casually.

Jasmine will need to step in and communicate with the dedicated personnel in charge of industrial development from the Paro Sage Legion.

Link let out a breath of stale air after hanging up the call.

After accepting Sage Paro, Sage Seren returned to the state they were in when they first met, and protected Sage Paro's interests in every way.

However, he didn't show it so completely in front of Link.

She still values ​​her friendship with Link.

Therefore, in terms of the details of cooperation, many places did not fight to the end.

So if this collaboration goes smoothly, everyone will benefit.

With the good news, Link found Jasmine, who was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, and told her.

For the next month, Link was busy with three things.

First, I'll supply Shadow City with the 1.0 version construct; second, I'll prepare for the wedding; and third, I'll choose a suitable place to build a real home.

While the lakeside villas and the villas in the North District are nice, they are ultimately not suitable for Link's current status.

It's okay to stay there occasionally, but not for an extended period.

Especially the lakeside villas on campus.

All three matters are progressing extremely smoothly.

It's unclear how the academy communicated with the Shadow City management, but Shadow City readily agreed to the matter.

The trading company, established specifically to output the 1.0 construct, has four major shareholders: the Academy holds one share, the Grand Family holds five shares, and the Paro Sage holds four shares.

With the academy's reputation providing protection, a smooth entry was only to be expected.

In no time, 1.0 constructs became popular among official-level wizards in Shadow City, especially those from the Storm Sea or those from wizarding families with weak foundations on the Wizarding Continent.

This collaboration has further deepened the already good relationship between Rivosos Academy and Shadow City.

This change made the Great Sage Tower of Michelle slightly uneasy.

The University of Mesopotamia has always been a staunch ally of Rivosos College.

Although the roles of the two allies have been reversed, with the University of Mesopotamia taking the lead and Rivosos College becoming the dominant force.

But the alliance cannot be faked.

Not long ago, in order to cover up the breakthrough of the eighth-level Great Sage of Mesopotamia, the Rivosos Academy did everything it could to stir up trouble.

Even if the Mesopotamian level eight Great Sage failed to break through, he is still alive.

The University of Mesopotamia remains the top wizarding force in the Michelle district.

Now, Rivoss Academy has its former big brother on one hand and a new friend with whom it's exchanging flirtatious glances on the other. If it could also win over the two top forces, Flame and Metal Merchants and White Tower Alliance, it would be a perfect fit.

There's really no need to build a separate district; all that hard work is for nothing.

It can completely replace the Great Sage's Tower of Michelle; it's a ready-made solution.

Therefore, in order to consolidate its position, dispel the delusions of Rivosos Academy, and suppress its arrogance, the Tower of Great Sages of Michelle launched a new round of targeting.

Just as Link had chosen a suitable location, built a real home, and completed the wedding preparations, and was about to choose a date for the wedding, an envoy from the Tower of the Great Sage Michel suddenly arrived at Rivosos Academy.

The ambassador of the Great Sage's Tower, Michel, specifically requested to discuss some matters with Sage Link Grand.

This ambassador was no stranger; he was none other than Cowell Ludwell, a sixth-level sage.

Given Cowell Ludwell's stature and status, as long as his demands aren't too outrageous, Rivoss College has no reason to refuse outright.

This time period is extremely special.

The Rivoss Academy is actually the one that doesn't want a real conflict with the Great Sage's Tower of Michel.

The Supreme Council is not just for show.

If it weren't for the series of overt and covert actions spearheaded by Dean Forrest, which did not exceed the scope of internal struggles stipulated by the Supreme Council and did not go too far, the Tower of the Great Sage Michel would have long since erupted into civil war.

For the Tower of Sages of Michelle, being able to completely destroy the Rivosos Academy would certainly be better than the current situation, which is both troublesome and threatening.

Ms. Lisandra, who was in charge of receiving the delegation, did not readily agree to Cowell Ludwell's request.

Regardless of one's opinion of Link Grand, there are many things that cannot be done.

Ms. Lissandra did not indirectly seek Link's opinion through Dean Forrest or Sandra, but instead approached Link personally.

"Think about it. If you don't want to see me, you don't have to."

After recounting the entire incident to Link, Ms. Lisandra expressed her stance.

Or rather, she made a statement on behalf of the academy and the Diomand family.

Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.

How could Cowell Ludwell and Michelle Great Sage's Tower possibly be chatting with Link for no reason?

This time, they specifically named Link and demanded that he come forward to negotiate; they must be plotting something shady.

"I'll go see him."

After careful consideration, Link agreed.

Regardless, he is still a member of Rivoss Academy.

He should contribute when the academy needs him, so that the academy will protect him when he needs it.

For example, last time, Dean Forrest rejected unreasonable instructions from the Supreme Council.

"Just think it through yourself."

Ms. Lissandra gave Link a long look, then took out a gift and placed it on the coffee table.

"Happy Wedding!" (End of Chapter)
