Chapter 294

"Really or fake?"

Headmaster Leopold was shocked and suspicious, unable to believe it.

"Fake."

Dean Forrest showed a smile, "Just teasing you."

"I guessed it was fake. If it were true, would you tell me? It would be too late to keep it secret."

Headmaster Leopold let out a sigh, but secretly took this information to heart, deciding to pay more attention to this Lin Ke Grande in the future.

Even if it wasn't as exaggerated as having the posture of a Saint, being able to make Forrest Diomand focus on him at this juncture was definitely extraordinary.

Moreover, Headmaster Leopold had not heard of this name before.

After all, he had drunk so many different top tea soups from Forrest, so he still had some understanding of the various deeds of the founder who developed the tea leaves and tea drinks.

After easing his emotions, Headmaster Leopold asked: "Sigh, what exactly are you thinking?"

"What do you mean what am I thinking?"

Dean Forrest asked back.

"Leaking the news of the location of the Nostradamus Saint's inheritance to Shadow City to set up this trap, what exactly are you thinking?"

Headmaster Leopold detailed his confusion.

"Didn't I tell you last time? I don't even know what I'm thinking myself."

"I thought you were teasing me last time."

"Playing dumb again! If you want to probe my tone, can't you change to some other tricks."

"Hey, in front of you, do I still need to pretend? Let's not talk about other things, let's talk about business. Are you trying to take this opportunity to send the Nostradamus Saint's inheritance to the Michelle Great Sage?"

"I already said, I don't know."

"Still pretending! I've already guessed it, just admit it."

"As you wish. As long as you are happy."

"Aren't you afraid that after the Michelle Great Sage gets the inheritance, he will really inherit the position of the Mysterious System Saint?"

"Tsk... you can think more outrageously."

"Are you just trying to let the Michelle Great Sage switch to the path of a Mysterious System Wizard?"

"Too lazy to bother with you."

Dean Forrest took a step to the left, and with a wave of his hand, set up a soundproof rune barrier, isolating the chattering Headmaster Leopold.

This guy, in order to probe for information, repeatedly played dumb, and talked more and more.

It made his ears ache.

Noisy!

If he had known this, he shouldn't have agreed to bring him to watch the battle.

Headmaster Leopold saw this and didn't care, but smiled slightly.

Many times, not answering directly is the answer.

Although he was not yet sure, Headmaster Leopold already had a relatively high degree of certainty.

Riverside Academy really wished that the Michelle Great Sage Tower would snatch the Saint's inheritance this time.

As for the reason, Headmaster Leopold couldn't think of it for the time being, and couldn't probe it out either.

This point was quite a pity.

Inside the "Lark" class interstellar warship.

A group of six wizards, including Lanny Taylor, watched helplessly as the warship carrying the Shadow City otherworld reclamation team brushed past them.

And their own interstellar warship neither made an effective interception nor sent a communication request to the other party to establish contact.

Even at the moment when the two warships brushed past each other, the permissions of all operation consoles were automatically withdrawn by the Warship Spirit.

This made the team members of the first group unable to make temporary responses by manually controlling the warship.

It was truly very confusing and depressing.

"What's going on?"

"Why did this happen?"

"Team Leader Taylor, please give us an explanation."

"Turn around quickly! Turn around quickly!"

"Hurry up and chase! Hurry up and send a communication request!"

Noisy words rang out one after another, pouring into Lanny Taylor's ears.

A passage of text left by Lin Ke in advance suddenly appeared on the office smart brain screen in front of the captain's seat.

Lanny Taylor quickly finished reading, bit her lip, calmly met the gazes of the 5 wizards, and waited for the noise to end.

The cockpit soon became quiet, and the atmosphere was quite strange.

The 5 wizards of the first group closed their mouths one after another, quietly waiting for Lanny Taylor's explanation.

A moment later, Lanny Taylor spoke: "All of this is the arrangement of Team Leader Lin Ke Grande."

This sentence was like a drop of water falling into a boiling pot of oil, instantly inciting a violent reaction.

"What do you mean?"

"Please explain more clearly, Team Leader Taylor."

"Yes, if it really is Team Leader Grande's arrangement, why didn't he state it directly, but instead acted like this?"

"If he has other plans, he could have told us completely; there was no need to hide it like this."

"..."

After waiting for the 5 wizards to express their opinions one by one and vent their emotions.

Lanny then replied:

"Because Team Leader Grande, after confirming that the supplies to be snatched this time were the legendary Saint's inheritance, already had the idea of abandoning the mission.

The reason why he didn't state it directly to everyone is because he didn't want everyone to bear the responsibility. In this way, if the mission fails, the Academy won't be too harsh on everyone."

"Hmph! How could he be so kind?"

Before other wizards could express their opinions, someone suddenly snorted coldly with dissatisfaction and shouted loudly, "In my opinion, he just wants to send us away, send away the warship that can monitor the mission process, so he can swallow the Saint's inheritance alone!"

As the voice fell, the atmosphere in the cockpit became even stranger.

Tsk tsk...

What a wise statement this was!

What an obvious act of splashing dirty water!

The other wizards immediately looked in the direction of the sound, wanting to see clearly who was speaking.

So they could stay away from the other party in the future.

Was Sage Fletcher Domingo a decoration?

This person came from a big family at the Academy Headquarters and once wanted to unite some people to teach Lin Ke, who was in the limelight, a lesson.

Later, due to family pressure, it was left unsettled.

But there was still some resentment toward Lin Ke in his heart.

For this mission, if there were wizards in the team who truly wanted to snatch the Saint's inheritance, he could be counted as one.

Not for anything else, just to see what the Saint's inheritance actually was.

As for whether the mission succeeded or failed, the impact on this person was not too great.

For a period of time before, this person saw that Lin Ke Grande was well-prepared in every aspect and had a posture of very much wanting to complete the mission, so he suppressed his resentment and actively cooperated.

Who would have thought that Lin Ke was actually playing such a game.

This made him very unhappy, feeling that his IQ had been insulted.

Lanny Taylor ignored this person, but according to the prompts on the smart brain screen, manually entered operation commands, slowly turned the "Lark" class interstellar warship's direction, and followed far behind the Shadow City otherworld reclamation team's warship.

Actually, Lanny only said half of what Lin Ke left on the smart brain screen.

Lin Ke's plan was actually to remind the Shadow City otherworld reclamation team that there was an ambush ahead through the act of brushing past each other.

And then it was what Lanny just operated, turning the warship's direction and following far behind the Shadow City warship.

In this way, the first group could decide whether to enter the field, when to enter, and in what way to enter, depending on the subsequent situation.

The reason why Lanny pushed all the responsibility onto Lin Ke was also Lin Ke's own arrangement.

The original intention was to bear the resentment and accusations of the first group's team members for Lanny, so as not to affect Lanny's command.

To be honest, Lanny actually didn't know very well why Lin Ke wanted to perform such an operation.

Just like what a team member said, even if there were other plans, he could have spoken directly.

Why make it so nervous?

In confusion, Lanny continued to drive the "Lark" class interstellar warship, following behind the Shadow City team.

And the 5 team members of the first group, after this trouble, were no longer very concerned about controlling the warship.

Anyway, at the critical moment, the permissions of the operation console would be withdrawn by the Warship Spirit.

Then what was the point of pretending to operate it?

Might as well just give up.

Shadow City otherworld reclamation team, inside the warship.

"Team Leader, what's the situation?"

"They don't intercept, they don't fight, they just follow behind us like this, what do they mean?"

"Do you want to fire a shot at them?"

"From so far away, what's the use of firing a shot."

"Better to send a communication request to them and ask directly."

"Agreed, clarify the situation before talking about other things."

"..."

When they discovered the Riverside Academy "Lark" class interstellar warship from a distance, the Shadow City reclamation team had already prepared to fight an encounter battle.

Who would have thought that the other party didn't fire a single shot, didn't make a sound, just rushed straight past, then turned around and followed far behind.

This operation made the wizards of the Shadow City reclamation team very confused and discussing it.

The Team Leader was also at a loss.

After careful consideration, the Team Leader decided to listen to the suggestion of a team member and send a communication request to the Riverside Academy warship following far behind.

Since he couldn't figure it out, just ask directly.

Soon, the video communication was connected.

On the huge main screens of the two warships, the figures of the captain/acting captain of the other party appeared.

"What is your intention in operating like this?"

The Shadow City reclamation team leader asked straight to the point, "What do you mean by following behind us?"

Lanny responded frankly according to Lin Ke's arrangement: "The Academy issued a sniping mission, asking us to snatch the supplies you excavated. However, the captain serving as the sniping team does not want to follow the Academy's instructions and would rather the mission fail than get involved in the trouble concerning the Saint's inheritance."

The Shadow City team leader couldn't help but be silent for a moment after hearing this.

The otherworld reclamation team, including him, had 12 wizards, and everyone was prepared for battle.

But it didn't mean that everyone knew what the so-called Saint school inheritance actually meant.

The team leader was actually a sensible person who knew the many troubles hidden behind the inheritance.

If he could, he wouldn't want to get involved in this big trouble either; he would avoid it from far away.

It was a pity that the team leader had little say and had to obey the orders of the higher-ups.

It was also because he understood these things that the team leader had long been mentally prepared that the supplies excavated by his own team would face snatching by other wizard organizations.

He also used various ways to give reminders to the team members, either obviously or implicitly.

Raising the team's vigilance to the extreme, making every team member prepared for battle.

These were already the limits of what the team leader could do.

As a result...

Other wizard organizations did send teams to snatch supplies, such as Riverside Academy.

But the development of things was a bit different from the team leader's assumptions.

Among the teams sent by Riverside Academy, there were actually sensible people who would rather violate the orders of the higher-ups than get involved in trouble.

This kind of courage is truly admirable!

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the emotions in his heart, the Shadow City team leader said in a deep voice: "State your true intentions, don't think about fooling me."

Lanny responded seriously: "We have no other intentions; we just want to fool the Academy. When we go back, we can have some explanation, so it won't look like we didn't do anything."

The Shadow City team leader would not be easily fooled.

He simply drew the bottom line directly: "I'll give you two choices. Either I turn around and fight you now, or you stop following us and choose another path."

Lanny showed a difficult expression on her face: "We just want to fool the Academy, we really have no designs on you. Why..."

"Don't explain, make a choice."

The Shadow City team leader interrupted Lanny with a cold face, and then didn't speak again.

His attitude was very clear, and his position was very firm.

Either fight or leave, choose one.

The team leader was certain that if the other party really just wanted to fool them, they would definitely choose to leave, not fight.

Seeing this, Lanny had to reduce the speed of the warship, gradually increasing the distance to lower the Shadow City team leader's guard.

After doing this operation, Lanny gave another kind reminder:

"Oh, by the way. When we came over, we discovered that two warships from the Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance were lurking on your only path, ready to pincer you.

Later, another warship from the Michelle Great Sage Tower came, with a very arrogant posture, broadcasting threats and clearing the field as soon as it arrived.

Looking at his posture, it seems they are determined to get you.

You must be careful."

After saying the description Lin Ke left on the smart brain, Lanny hung up the communication.

She didn't look at the Shadow City team leader's increasingly gloomy long face.

"Team Leader Taylor, what exactly is Team Leader Grande's true plan?"

Suddenly, a further studies wizard from the Wizard World native, and from the Storm Sea, asked abruptly.

This inquiry immediately attracted the attention of several other wizards.

What do you mean?

Is this another reversal?

Could it be that Team Leader Grande didn't really abandon the mission, and has some hidden plans again?

Lanny looked at the further studies wizard in the direction of the sound and asked back calmly: "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say..."

This further studies wizard just started a topic, suddenly swallowed the second half, turned to make a gesture pointing upward, and asked, "Is the reason Team Leader Grande arranged it this way to guard against the above?"

"Don't understand what you are talking about."

Lanny didn't bother with the team members whose train of thought was led astray by this further studies wizard, and focused on adjusting the warship's navigation route and speed.

How could there be a reason not to follow behind the Shadow City otherworld reclamation team just because they threatened?

At most, grasp a degree so as not to cause the other party's fierce rebound.

And this performance of Lanny made the team members' train of thought go even more astray.

One by one, they guessed in their hearts whether Team Leader Grande was guarding against the Level 5 Sages secretly following from other wizard organizations.

Therefore, he dared not lay out the true plan.

He could only advance the mission progress in such a roundabout way.

Lin Ke Grande, who vaguely had the trend of being regarded as having unfathomable wisdom, received Flandre's reminder with a confused face at this moment.

The 10 wizards of the Michelle Great Sage Tower team who came out of the warship but disappeared without a trace had actually lurked around the Flame and Metal Trading Company team warship.

They were launching a fierce surprise attack, catching the Flame and Metal Trading Company team warship off guard.

From the very beginning, they firmly occupied the upper hand.

10 wizards collaborated to cast spells, actually beating a warship with no power to fight back.

This was very interesting.

Thanks to book friends Che Ma Zhe, Qing Mo Qing Ran, and Jiong Si Fu for the rewards, thank you!

In addition, I apologize to all book friends.

Recently, there have been physical problems, psychological factors, and the reason for falling into a bottleneck, so the state of writing the book is very poor.

There is a vague trend of writing it into a collapse.

I will try my best to adjust and adjust as soon as possible.

Sorry!
