Chapter 493: 134: Second-level Wizard? It's all about second-level wizards_1
Link rarely curses.
The Serene Wizard would not lie about such a matter.
Therefore, his tedious effort to eliminate Lucia’s family members turned out to be a waste.
If he had received the news earlier, he wouldn’t be in this predicament now.
Wait, Link suddenly realized.
It was not that the message from Serene Wizard arrived late, but that the team competition started earlier than expected for some reason.
Calculating the time, if the team competition didn’t start early, Link could have entered the competition with this message.
Due to this unexpected event, Lucia’s family, who would have inevitably perished under Link’s hand, managed to survive.
Sigh…
Exhaling heavily, Link stopped ruminating over his missed chance to kill Lucia’s family. Instead, he considered the implications of the news that the Sage Palo army was trapped by the Abyss Demon.
The first problem to confront was the rescue mission.
Serene Wizard would undoubtedly push the college to organize one or several armies to rescue the Sage Palo army.
This would require a considerable amount of manpower, resources, and financial support.
Link had no choice but to offer assistance in this matter.
The key was how and to what extent he should contribute.
The next issue was developing and maintaining his status.
With the backing of Sage Palo, and the support of Serene Wizard and Wizard Cody, Link was able to firmly establish and operate a potion shop in the East District of Ravensmouth City.
Now, Wizard Cody was in the Metamorphosis Period, his combat power was not increasing but decreasing;
Serene Wizard would, without a doubt, be fully devoted to preparing the rescue mission for Sage Palo and wouldn’t have the time and energy to concern himself with Link and the Grande Potion Shop.
The storms that had once been blocked by them would now directly hit Link; he would have to face it on his own.
This included other potion shop owners coveting the Grande Potion Shop’s business and the intensity of the competition and oppression from powerful forces behind these stores.
These issues would inevitably arise, based on the intuition of a businessman.
The last problem was to deal with the inevitable recruitment attempts.
Given Link’s displayed combat power today, many individuals and powers would extend an olive branch, wanting to bring Link under their wing.
He couldn’t outright refuse someone as influential as Sandra.
If someone with higher status and position were to step in, what would he do?
Previously, if it really came down to it, he could use Sage Palo as a shield, claiming that he had already entered under Sage Palo’s command.
But now, Sage Palo himself was in a precarious situation.
“What’s wrong?”
Sitting next to him, Jasmine instantly sensed the change in Link’s mood and asked immediately.
“Take a look yourself.”
Link opened the message he received on his smart brain and showed it to Jasmine.
“What?”
Jasmine let out a gasp, “How is this possible? Has Lucia’s family gone mad?”
I have no clue,” Link said confusedly, letting out a sigh. “They might really have gone mad, or there might be other hidden circumstances. Who knows?”
“So, what do we do?”
Jasmine’s thoughts whirled at the speed of light, and within the blink of an eye, she thought of the new circumstances that Link and “Do Whatever You Want” would soon face.
“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”
Since the situation was still unclear, and the information was unknown, Link didn’t want to make any rash decisions.
After this competition was over, he would return home and find out the ins and outs of the matter before making plans.
But right now, in the upcoming individual competition, if he encountered Lucia’s family again, he would kill them first before considering anything else.
After all, the leading Lucia desired death and wanted to make a sacrifice.
He might as well fulfill their wish.
Thinking of this, Link quietly summoned Franda and asked her to turn into the Spirit of the Wind, spying on Lucia’s family’s movements.
Knowledge is power, understanding oneself and the enemy ensures victory.
Link had to confirm whether Lucia’s family would pull any tricky moves again.
Inside the viewing room.
Faced with the sudden change, Sandra didn’t panic.
Her first reaction was to pull out her personal smart brain to verify the truth with her family and college, while also reporting on Link Grande’s abnormal combat power and the pressure exerted by the Four Wizard organizations.
Her messages had just been sent out when she received replies from her mother and third uncle.
Lady Lisandra’s words were somewhat cryptic.
She did not directly give advice, but instructed Sandra to consider long-term consequences when making a decision and to study the problem more deeply.
The Dean’s words were easier to understand, stating that necessary sacrifices were completely acceptable.
After reading the two messages, Sandra pondered carefully and quickly analyzed the current situation.
Based on her knowledge of her mother and uncle, the defection of Lucia’s family was definitely not a simple matter.
Whether it was a double, triple, or even more complicated layer of espionage was hard to confirm.
Mesopotamia University might be showing signs of decline, but the management was not stupid to casually accept Lucia’s family who had defected from allied Ravensmouth college.
This was a serious matter which could impact many people.
There must have been something else she was not aware of that happened.
It made Mesopotamia University willing to ruin the relationship with Ravensmouth college and make an outrageous decision.
However, since her mother and uncle didn’t tell her, it was pointless to think more about it. It was more important to take care of the immediate matters.
What she had to do now was to deal appropriately with the pressure exerted by the Four Wizard organizations and decide whether to let Link Grande participate in the individual competition.
With clear thoughts, a cold smile appeared on Sandra’s face, “If you want to forfeit and withdraw, then so be it. As long as the individual competition continues, Link Grande will definitely participate. We will never compromise.”
