Wizards begin with Occlumency.

On the Eve of Chapter 388

The gathering ended in harmony and joy.

Cooperation brings harmony, and reminiscing about the past brings joy.

However, forming a united legion is not that simple.

The general direction has been set, but there are still many details to be discussed.

However, these matters are not the concern of the four sages Link, Celine, Paro, and Cody; their respective legions have their own people to handle them.

After leaving the club, seeing that it was already late, Link went straight home.

"How did it go? How did the talks go?"

After returning home, Jasmine helped Link change his shoes and clothes while asking him questions with concern.

Link recounted the two meetings he had met that day to Jasmine in detail.

The two were husband and wife, united as one, and had a daughter. There was nothing to hide.

"It seems I need to speed up the pace of my transformation."

After listening, Jasmine made this remark.

Whether it's Link going to take up a position at the main academy or the joint expedition to the parallel universe, the actual affairs of the Grand Sage Legion must be handled by Jasmine.

It is entirely foreseeable that after entering the parallel universe, Link will not have much private time at all.

Regardless of the true attitude of the parallel universe's immortal civilization and Master Xu Jing towards Link, at least one thing is certain: since the immortal civilization and Master Xu Jing have shown a serious attitude, they will definitely show it through their actions.

"There's no need to rush, just let things take their natural course."

Link didn't want Jasmine to rush the transformation process too much, lest something unexpected happen.

Despite the unprecedented upheavals in the wizarding world over the past few years, there have been no instances of failure to ascend to the sage level.

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing, there won't be any problems."

Jasmine gently patted Link's hand, her tone extremely firm.

She used the precognitive ability shared by her natal spirit beast, the God-Devouring Insect, and failed to sense the possibility of an accident.

"That won't work either."

Link frowned slightly and said firmly, "We should do things the way they should. We can't be blindly optimistic, nor can we recklessly rely on our precognitive abilities. Have you forgotten the lesson I learned that time? Precognition isn't omnipotent, and if someone is determined, it's easy to interfere."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Jasmine rolled her eyes dramatically and glared at Link.

She simply couldn't win an argument with her husband.

"Don't just say you'll do something and then do it wrong."

Link, however, didn't stop there. He emphasized, "You've done things behind my back several times before, so don't do anything reckless this time, understand?"

"Hehehe..."

Jasmine stuck out her tongue, made a face, and refused to reply.

The so-called "causing trouble behind Link's back" is nothing more than accepting the wizard aptitude improvement test from Sage Celine.

They've already apologized repeatedly, and they're still bringing it up... It's really...

"Did you hear me?"

"I heard you, you're so long-winded."

Jasmine turned back, made a face, and then ran away.

Ugh……

Link shook her head and sighed. She's a mother now, but she's still like a child.

But what can be done?

You have to live with the wife you chose, even if it's through tears.

Besides, Link is living a pretty good life and doesn't need to be in tears.

The next few days were just as peaceful as the past two years.

Until Lotesnor Grande fulfilled his promise and went to the main world of the Academy to have a profound exchange with the Great Sages Rivo and Soth.

Link then left the Wizarding Continent and re-entered the Academy's main world, becoming a teacher there.

Jasmine, her daughter Melia, and Garona remained in their homeland.

According to the academy's custom, wizards in the process of transformation usually take on a sinecure position in the junior or senior academy.

Jasmine was no exception.

So for the next three months or so, Link and Jasmine will be living a campus life.

The Grand Sage Legion set off simultaneously, joining the Paro Sage Legion and the Cody Sage Legion to form a joint legion for reorganization and training.

Preparing for an expedition to a parallel universe.

Speaking of the Cody Sage Legion, there's something else related to Link.

The Cody Sage Legion is composed of elite troops from two legions of the Lucia family.

After several years of continuous screening and elimination, Sage Cody has successfully eradicated all influence from the Lucia family.

The legion still retains many wizards from the original Lucia family, but Sage Cody can assure you that these wizards will only be loyal to Sage Cody and will never have any lingering thoughts about the original Lucia family.

Not to mention, the Lucia family is gone, replaced by the Archie family, which has shown no signs of returning to the Wizarding Continent.

Soren Yachi has not been heard from at all.

I wonder if he has successfully advanced to the rank of Sage by now.

If not, Link would completely lose the chance to take revenge himself.

As a sage, it would be inappropriate to bully the weak and kill a formal wizard.

In that case, Link himself would be happy, but the reputation of the Grand family he established and the "freedom to do whatever he wants" would be negatively affected.

When Link re-enters the world of the Academy's main campus, he's not just going to be a teacher for a little over three months.

The headquarters, which is "free to do whatever it wants," can finally officially move into the world of the academy's main campus.

Sandra, who hadn't been in touch for a long time and whose relationship with Sandra had become somewhat distant, put in a lot of effort in this matter.

Asander Cornet officially became the top manager of "Freedom to Do Anything," while Link, Molly, and Sandra completely retreated to the background.

Renee Clark had long ago chosen Asander over the Clark family.

This time, Renee took the opportunity to completely withdraw from all affairs, big and small, of the Clark family.

In this way, Iris Clark will be able to deal with the Clark family more easily in the future.

The benefits of parallel universes are simply too great.

Human greed is never satisfied.

Despite having received so much from Iris Clark, the Clark family still wanted more.

"A wise decision."

The day after moving back into the villa gifted by Dean Forrest, Link hosted Asander and Renee in the villa.

"What's this about being wise or unwise? This is the only way I can do it."

Renee crossed her arms and spoke in a very displeased tone.

"hehe……"

Link smiled, said nothing more, and turned to Asander, "'Freedom to do whatever you want' is now completely yours, Asander. Of course, if your daily work interferes with your search for the opportunity to enter a period of transformation, you can share some of the tasks with Betty, Mead, and Terry."

The group of brothers who were Link's earliest confidants have all joined the Grand Sage Legion.

Betty, Mead, and Terry are a trio of socially awkward individuals, whose abilities and temperaments are somewhat inferior to those of the other members of the group.

Even now, their strength is still insufficient to enter the Grand Sage Legion.

Link simply let them stay in the "freedom to do whatever they want" environment and continue to develop.

"No problem, I will."

Asander calmly agreed.

He always kept his position in the right place, as a professional manager.

Even though his sister-in-law, Iris Clark, is becoming increasingly dazzling and her strength has even surpassed Link's, this hasn't changed.

Ultimately, when Asander Cornet left the Palo Almighty Legion and joined Link's ranks, even if it was only semi-independent, it was because he saw Link Grand's potential for growth.

Link has only been lying low for two years; he hasn't lost his initial potential. Asander will certainly continue to bet on him, rather than switching sides midway.

The three of them didn't discuss business anymore, but chatted happily for a while before Asander and Renee said their goodbyes.

Link personally escorted the two to the villa gate.

In the following days, Link did not receive any more visitors and waited patiently for the start of the new semester.

As for the exchanges between Lotesnor Grand and the Great Sages Rivo and Soth, Link had no intention of getting involved.

Link just wanted to spend these three months in peace and quiet, and then follow the arrangements of the Supreme Council and the Academy to go to a parallel universe.

His idea was eventually realized.

The next three months passed peacefully, much like the past two years.

Lottesno Grande has officially graduated from the Rivosos School of Biology and Medicine.

From then on, Lotte Snow could leave the Academy and his blood brother Link, and do some more "outrageous" things.

The Academy and Link have done everything they could to provide cover for Lottesno.

We've already done enough to show our appreciation; we just need to wait for the results.

"Are you ready?"

Dean Forrest, who hadn't appeared for over three months, showed up as expected on the day Link finished his term as a teacher at the main academy.

"There's nothing to prepare."

Link had already packed his bags and was preparing to leave the Academy's main world.

He planned to stay on the Wizarding Continent for a few days before asking Dean Forrest when he could go to the parallel universe.

Upon hearing Dean Forrest's question, Link immediately understood that the Supreme Council and the Academy no longer intended to "hide" him.

"Three days later, the academy will organize the first batch of advance personnel to enter the parallel universe."

Dean Forrest said calmly, "Your allied legion is also on the first batch of members. However, once you get there, you cannot act on your own for the time being. The Supreme Council has some matters that require your cooperation."

"What is it?"

Link asked.

"I don't know either."

Dean Forrest shook his head. "The academy asked Iris Clark, but she didn't know either. Besides, neither the Celestial Court of the parallel universe's immortal civilization nor Master Xu Jing have formally raised any issues regarding you with the Supreme Council."

"Understood."

Link nodded, indicating that he understood.

So, what does the Supreme Council want to test or investigate through him this time?

It doesn't matter anymore.

Just be a tool, and in the process of being a tool, seize your own interests.

Dean Forrest, seeing that Link truly understood his meaning, did not intend to stay any longer.

The first batch of advance members from the Rivosos Academy are about to embark on an expedition to a parallel universe, and the Dean has a lot on his plate.

Before leaving, Dean Forrest conjured two scrolls out of thin air and tossed them to Link.

"Dean, what's this?"

Link called out to Dean Forrest, who was about to leave, and asked in confusion.

He could certainly recognize that the two scrolls in his hands were extremely high-grade witchcraft scrolls.

However, he didn't quite understand the dean's intention in taking out two magic scrolls at this time.

Or rather, Link had some suspicions in his mind and was seeking confirmation from the dean.

Dean Forrest simply said, "These two scrolls are what my grandparents gave you to protect your life. The Great Sage's Tower of Michelle is doing quite well in the parallel universe, and the Supreme Council is unlikely to treat you with the same sincerity as the Academy. Moreover, the Supreme Council is too murky; who knows which faction might reach an agreement with the Great Sage's Tower of Michelle, allowing it to target you. So, I prepared these for you."

"Thank you, Dean. Thank you, Great Sage Rivo and Great Sage Soth. Thank you, Academy."

After hearing this, Link immediately put away the two reels and thanked him.

Who wouldn't want more life-saving gadgets?

Based on Link's recent contact and perception, either of those two spell scrolls could probably unleash the power of a seventh or even eighth-level spell.

As a fourth-level sage's trump card for survival, this is truly... far too extravagant.

Dean Forrest didn't seem to care much about Link's thanks, waved his hand, and teleported away.

After that, no one stopped Link from returning to the Wizarding Continent.

Link returned safely to his cozy little home and met his wife Jasmine, who had successfully advanced to the sage realm, as well as his daughter Melia and Garona, whom he had raised at home.

The family of four enjoyed a few days together.

Unfortunately, farewells always come.

After placing Melia and Garona in Renee's care, Link and Molly embarked on their expedition to a parallel universe.

Jasmine set off first, leading the allied legion, which had been undergoing training for more than three months, along with Sage Serene, Sage Paro, and Sage Cody, to assemble in the star field designated by the academy and join the first advance team.

Link, accompanied by Dean Forrest, traveled across the west coast in a flying vehicle to the High Council in Middle-earth.

"Link, it's been a long time."

Having reached the fifth level of sagehood, Iris Clark has matured considerably over the past few years, and her personality is no longer as boisterous as before.

The way people greet each other has changed from a flying pounce and bear hug to a gentle hug.

Of course, it's also possible that it was Jasmine, Iris's best friend with whom she's never lost contact, who asked her to do this.

"Long time no see, Iris."

Link also gave Iris a gentle hug.

"Watch out, Link."

As the two were about to part, Iris suddenly whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Many of those genius wizards you brutally defeated have made significant progress in the past two years, while you've been living comfortably in the academy for two years. Some of them are plotting to get revenge on you and regain their honor."

Upon hearing this, Link instantly understood which "that time" Iris was referring to.

Then he was speechless for a moment, looking helplessly at Iris who was chuckling.

On that occasion, the Supreme Council selected a five-person delegation to make its first mission to the immortal civilization of a parallel universe.

By complying with Iris's request, Link severely embarrassed many of the younger generation of genius wizards.

If what Iris said is true, those genius wizards want to regain their honor. Link is not afraid of challenges, but he is afraid of trouble.

You can't kill him, and you can't injure him.

It's so annoying.
