Wizards begin with Occlumency.

One should not act impulsively.

Although Dean Forrest had made his decision, he would not act rashly.

When and how to inform the Supreme Council requires careful consideration.

There are two most important things to do now: first, to settle Lottesno and Link; and second, to secretly order the advance team of Rivosos Academy to prepare for trouble.

Link was easy to settle down; Dean Forrest didn't even need to worry about him.

Link has his own place among the four allied legions.

Settling Lotesno is a bit of a hassle.

Logically, to show respect for Lottesno, at least one Diormand should have been sent to accompany him throughout the trip.

However, among the advance team members of Rivosos Academy, only Dean Forrest was a Great Sage-level Diomand.

Others, such as Sandra Diomand, were not qualified to represent the Diomand family and Rivoss College in hosting and accompanying them.

Who is Lottesnow, and what is his insight?

He immediately saw through Dean Forrest's feigned difficulty.

Pretending!

Waving his hand dismissively, Lotesno said irritably, "You don't need to worry about this, and you don't need to put on an act. Although many people already know my identity, I don't want to be too conspicuous for now, and there's no need to make a big scene. I'll just stick with my older brother and sister-in-law and keep things quiet. You go ahead and do your scheming."

"Thank you for your understanding, Saint."

Dean Forrest readily agreed, or rather, he was delighted that Lottesno was so considerate.

After giving Sage Celine a wink and apologizing to Lotesnor, Dean Forrest hurriedly left.

The incident was sudden, and he was able to raise the alert level of the advance team of Rivosos Academy to the highest level as quickly and discreetly as possible, preparing to deal with troubles from all sides.

It targets both external forces, such as the demon civilization, and internal forces, such as the Tower of the Great Sage Michel.

And the reason Dean Forrest was in such a hurry was, just as Lottesnow said, because he was out scheming and plotting!

The main reason is that, with the physical strength of the Rivoss Academy students, they are simply no match for the current Great Sage Michel.

However, if you add the Supreme Council's office in a parallel universe, then it's a different story.

It should be noted that the Wizarding Civilization has already sent three more Level 9 Great Sages to parallel universes.

As long as the Great Sage Michael fails to ascend to the rank of Saint, that will be enough to subdue him.

Everything is still in the works, and there is still room for maneuver.

"Let's go back."

After Dean Forrest left, Jasmine immediately grabbed Link's arm.

They were being very affectionate, oblivious to everyone else.

It even seemed a bit too cloying.

Link, however, was quite pleased with himself, completely ignoring the glare from Sage Celine and the comical expression on Lottesno's face as he covered his eyes, unable to bear to look.

Sage Celine didn't say much.

If you're tired of it, just ignore it and don't watch it anymore.

"whispering sound!"

Seeing this, Lottesno took concrete action to vehemently condemn the two men's behavior.

Link and Jasmine ignored them and continued to do as they pleased.

Unable to deal with the two shameless individuals, Lotesnow and the sage Celine could only act as third wheels.

After a period of lively chatter, the four quieted down and continued their journey towards the wartime defense zone of the four allied legions.

On the way back, Sage Celine kept hesitating to speak.

The news she had just received left Sage Celine with some questions weighing on her mind; she wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

It wasn't that Sage Celine was shy, but rather that she was worried that asking the question would ruin things.

Link noticed this very keenly.

However, he did not speak first, but instead guided Sage Celine to ask the question that was on her mind.

Some questions are better left unanswered.

Asking the question won't necessarily cause any real harm, but it will likely bring unnecessary trouble.

However, Lottesno, who was in a "transformation period" and had no one to restrain him, and was quite lawless, did not think that way.

The more lively the situation and the more chaotic the relationships, the happier he is.

To put it simply, mystery is about finding order within chaos.

Therefore, Lotesnow said directly, "Witch Celine, if you have any questions, just ask them. There's no need to keep them to yourself. Don't worry, with me here, no one but us will be able to hear what you say."

Link felt that this sentence sounded familiar.

If Dean Forrest were still here, he would surely feel the same way.

Link opened his mouth, about to remind Sage Celine of the unreliability of Lotesno's statement.

However, Lottesno beat Link to it, glaring at him fiercely.

That murderous look on his face seemed to say, "If you dare expose my shortcomings and ruin my image, I'll never forgive you."

Link wasn't afraid of that, but then he thought that after the incident with the Celestial Master, Lottesno's confidence was clearly not a blind impulse.

Even if Lotesno fails again, the only ones who can break through his defenses and "eavesdrop" on the conversation taking place here are the Celestial Immortals and Celestial Venerables of the Immortal God Civilization, who hold the rank of Saint.

Even the Great Sage Michel, who is currently being promoted, doesn't have this ability.

If that's the case, why should Link be a bad guy?

So Link shut his mouth and swallowed the words that had risen to his throat.

Sage Celine instinctively sensed something amiss, but after some consideration, she decided to heed Lotesnor's advice and voice her doubts.

After carefully considering her words, Sage Celine asked seriously, "Is it possible that Master Xu Jing's information about the Celestial Court of the Link Immortal God Civilization supporting Sage Michel was actually intended to create internal chaos within our Wizard Civilization, thereby delaying the High Council's progress in developing this universe?"

"certainly!"

Lotesno immediately answered, very loudly, his mouth almost reaching his ears, "Of course it's possible, and very likely. After all, in terms of overall strength, the Celestial Civilization is stronger than the Wizard Civilization. Therefore, in the early stages of the cooperation between the two sides, the Supreme Council played some tricks, accelerating the development of this universe while delaying the time and efficiency of the Celestial Civilization entering their own universe."

After a pause, Lotesno pointed his index fingers at Sage Celine, then changed the subject, laughing in an exaggerated tone, "Your mind is very sharp, and you have a very strong medicinal scent about you. You must be an excellent potion developer or apothecary. I also have a few potion recipes that have been lost in modern wizarding civilization. If you are interested, I can make a copy for you for free."

"Thank you for your kindness, Saint, but I'd better not."

Sage Celine was not swayed by Lotesnor's praise; faced with temptation, she decisively and resolutely refused.

As for the "topics" that were no longer discussed, since Lotesno stopped talking about them, Sage Seren also stopped discussing them.

Sage Celine has that much insight.

"Alright."

Lottesno shrugged, pouted, and spoke in a tone that seemed indifferent yet revealed a hint of sadness.

Wizards in their "transformation period" often act like drama queens.

The main problem is that the contrast is just too great.

Whether it's comparing it to past behavior, external image, or one's own identity and status.

Shrugging, pouting, acting cute, being silly – is this what a reincarnated saint should do?

This is utterly absurd!

Link couldn't help but wonder whether Lottesno was truly in a "transformation period" or was using it as an excuse to act crazy.

Mystic wizards, Link had seen descriptions of them in a few documents before.

There is a term that is often used to describe mystical wizards.

That is "madness".

Not only is his thinking erratic, but his daily words and actions are even more erratic.

Sage Celine asked the question that she already knew the answer to, and then refused to speak any further.

The reason is also very simple.

On one hand, Link and Jasmine are being too affectionate, constantly showering us with sweetness;

This made Sage Celine feel a little resentful; why was her chosen partner, Paro, such a straight man?

Although things are much better now than before, I still don't quite grasp the difference between romance and boredom.

There's absolutely no fun in it.

On the other hand, Sage Celine felt somewhat uneasy in the presence of the reincarnated saint, especially Lotesno, who was in a period of "transformation" and whose every word and action was full of madness.

To reiterate, the contrast is simply too great.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before the four of them arrived at the wartime defense zone of the four allied legions in their spaceship.

Sage Celine casually made up an excuse, got off the starship first, and headed straight for Sage Paro.

The dog food I ate at Link and Jasmine's place needs to be properly digested.

As for how to digest it, those who know, know.

Link and Jasmine disembarked from the Starship and headed straight for Jasmine's residence without even glancing at Lottesno.

Lottesno watched the three figures leave one after another, shook his head, and chuckled.

Immediately, Lottesno's expression turned serious, and he stopped his somewhat erratic state.

After glancing around, Lotesno declined the invitation from the receptionist arranged by Sage Celine to enter Sage Paro's place, and silently walked in one direction.

A few steps later, the reception staff from the four allied legions could no longer see Lotesno.

No one knows where Lottesno went or why he went there.

On the other side, Dean Forrest made all the arrangements, carefully considered all the wording, and contacted the internal liaison officer of the Supreme Council's office in the parallel universe through secret channels.

"What is it?"

The person in charge was rather cold towards Dean Forrest.

Dean Forrest was not at all annoyed by the person in charge's indifferent attitude.

He simply looked directly into the eyes of the person in charge through the encrypted video communication screen, and said in an even colder attitude and tone, "If you want to be punished or even killed by the five saints of the Supreme Council, you can continue to treat me this way."

Are you threatening me?

The person in charge narrowed his eyes, revealing a cold glint, and a murderous intent suddenly appeared.

Dean Forrest nodded frankly: "I am threatening you. If you can't take it, you can hang up."

"Just say what's on your mind, there's no need to beat around the bush."

The person in charge gritted his teeth, barely suppressing his anger and temper, and said irritably.

"hehe……"

Dean Forrest sneered, but didn't continue to provoke the person in charge. He cut to the chase and asked directly, "Are you aware that the Celestial Civilization's Heavenly Court has courted Great Sage Michel and is currently funding his attempt to attain the rank of Saint?"

"What?"

The person in charge exclaimed in surprise.

His shocked expression was definitely not fake.

Clearly, the person in charge had not heard a single thing related to this matter.

Both the Celestial Civilization and the Great Sage Michel were indeed very good at keeping secrets.

Dean Forrest could understand the shock of the person in charge.

When he first heard Lottesno mention this news, he was just as shocked as the person in charge.

Even more than that.

"Do you know what you're saying, Forrest Diormand?"

After the initial shock, the person in charge regained their composure and demanded sternly, "Can you take responsibility for spreading this rumor?"

Dean Forrest, unperturbed, smiled slightly and said, "Since I dared to say it, I dare to take responsibility. As for whether it's a rumor or not, why don't you investigate and find out?"

Such a confident and fearless attitude made the person in charge suddenly calm down.

Wizards specialize in mental and magical powers.

Mental strength is based on willpower.

The person in charge, who is responsible for the internal affairs of the Supreme Council's office in the parallel universe and for contacting the wizarding forces that come to the parallel universe, must be of a high wizarding level.

Their willpower is naturally very strong.

Therefore, in a short period of time, no matter how shocking the news was that Great Sage Michel had betrayed the Supreme Council and the Wizarding Civilization and joined the Celestial Court of the Immortal God Civilization, the person in charge still managed to recover.

Taking a deep breath, the person in charge asked coldly, "Investigate? How? Where do you start?"

Dean Forrest smiled. "That's a matter for your High Council. I can only guarantee that my sources are absolutely reliable."

What guarantees do you have?

The person in charge continued to ask in a cold tone.

Dean Forrest's expression darkened slightly as he replied earnestly:

"I am guaranteed the continued existence of Narewsworth College."

You surely know just how deep the conflict is between our Rivosos Academy, the Tower of the Great Sage Michel, and the Great Sage Michel himself.

"If Great Sage Michel hadn't switched allegiance to the Celestial Civilization, even if Great Sage Michel had truly ascended to Sainthood in this universe, my Rivosos Academy could simply relinquish all interests in this universe and retreat to our own."

After a pause, Dean Forrest emphasized:

"However, I am now accusing Sage Michelle of betraying the Immortal Civilization in my capacity as Dean of the Rivosos Academy. I'm sure you can understand how serious this is."

If the Supreme Council's investigation finds my accusations to be untrue, you can probably guess what will happen to Rivosos Academy.

After another pause, Dean Forrest asked, word by word, "But, if..."

"What if my accusations are true?" (End of Chapter)
