Chapter 373: 379.Chapter 379 Cause and Effect

379. Chapter 379 Cause and Effect

Worldly affairs cannot always go as one wishes.

Conservation of mass-energy, conservation of character, both are conservation.

Balance, existing among all things.

Ruiwosuosi Academy this time caused such a big stir, gained such great benefits; how could those wizards who were made to run around in circles and the wizard forces possibly just let it rest?

The benefits can no longer be snatched.

But they can still retaliate a little, vent their anger.

Thus, the situation facing Ruiwosuosi Academy suddenly turned bad.

Mi Xie Er District has already been renamed Ruiwosuosi District; Mi Xie Er Great Sage and the Mi Xie Er Great Sage Tower were ordered by the Supreme Council to go to a parallel universe within a deadline.

However, the huge Mi Xie Er Great Sage Tower, with its deeply entrenched power, cannot be settled in just a few days.

People's hearts change easily; not everyone is willing to follow the soon-to-die Mi Xie Er Great Sage to a parallel universe to start over.

Furthermore, there is the example of Kao Wei Er. Lu De Wei Er set before us.

Before defecting to Ruiwosuosi Academy, Kao Wei Er had stayed at the sixth-level sage rank for a long time; after secretly defecting, he immediately advanced to seventh-level great sage.

Anyone can see that Wo Te Si has long been attempting to reach seventh-level great sage; his resources may be self-prepared, while the resources Luo Sen Ta Er and Kao Wei Er used for their advancement came from the batch of resources for seventh-level wizards to advance to eighth-level wizards that Ruiwosuosi Academy obtained from the Supreme Council.

One share of resources for advancing from seventh to eighth level, when split, can supply four or five people to advance from sixth-level sage to seventh-level great sage.

Some wizards inside the Mi Xie Er Great Sage Tower are restless, wanting to defect to Ruiwosuosi Academy.

But Ruiwosuosi Academy now only wants to quickly take over Ruiwosuosi District; if not necessary, it does not want to provoke the Mi Xie Er Great Sage Tower, so it has not paid much attention.

Even so, the takeover process is not smooth at all.

The Mi Xie Er Great Sage Tower openly declares: I can leave, but before leaving, I must thoroughly loot everything.

This attitude and practice, they do not fear Ruiwosuosi Academy knowing, nor the Supreme Council knowing.

If you dislike me, it's just another fight.

Would bare feet fear those wearing shoes?

As the new boss of Ruiwosuosi District, those wizard organizations under it suffer exploitation by the old boss; Ruiwosuosi Academy must also step forward to protect the interests of the junior members.

Thus, conflicts of varying scales break out one after another.

Ruiwosuosi Academy's progress in taking over Ruiwosuosi District can only advance bit by bit in the midst of difficulties.

When the roof leaks, it rains nonstop at night.

Just then, Ruiwosuosi Academy faced the first retaliation from the wizards who had been played with.

Under the indication of three ninth-level great sage artificer wizards, the supplies of Ruiwosuosi Academy's star fleet were restricted.

¤￠o

Or more precisely, it is a supply cutoff.

Ruiwosuosi Academy naturally has its own artificer production base, has trained many alchemists, and also has stockpiles.

In the short term, the star fleet's supply can still be increased.

But over a long time, it's hard to say.

After all, Ruiwosuosi Academy has many sage-level legions and great sage-level legions.

What worries Dean Fu Li Si Te most is not the star fleet's supply.

At worst, pause expansion and circulate internally for a while to promote economic exchange between Ruiwosuosi Academy and the various worlds within Ruiwosuosi District.

Dean Fu Li Si Te's greatest worry is that Ruiwosuosi Academy will be excluded in the upcoming parallel universe development process.

There is no such thing as Murphy's Law in the wizard world.

But the more you fear something, the more it comes; misfortunes come one after another.

Ruiwosuosi Academy's trade, cooperation, and exchanges outside Ruiwosuosi District are all being sabotaged.

A loose alliance formed on the basis of common enmity, the Anti-Ruiwosuosi Academy Alliance, is spontaneously forming and launching actions.

Mi Xie Er Great Sage's good friend, the ally and close partner of the Mi Xie Er Great Sage Tower, seizing the opportunity, has increased retaliation against Ruiwosuosi Academy.

Ruiwosuosi Academy has taken over the position of the Mi Xie Er Great Sage Tower and forced it to hastily embark on the parallel universe campaign, but this has greatly harmed the interests of those wizard organizations.

For a time, Ruiwosuosi Academy fell deep into the mire.

Dean Fu Li Si Te is overwhelmed with busyness.

If unable to escape this mire before the formal action organized by the Supreme Council to explore the parallel universe and mutually assist with the parallel universe's immortal divine civilizations.

Then Ruiwosuosi Academy will have to become a garrison organization to face the myriad divine civilizations.

Not to mention getting benefits, one must also fight desperately.

Under these circumstances, Lin Ke indeed rested for quite a long time.

For a full two months, Lin Ke stayed in the wizard world's homeland, accompanying Mo Li and their daughter Melia.

The family of three was blissful, living happily and satisfactorily.

Lin Ke took the opportunity to calm down, organize what he had learned, fill gaps, and deeply ponder the future development of the Construct Wizard School.

Since it's a school, it naturally cannot consist of only Lin Ke.

However, versions 1.0 and 1.5 of the Construct are easy to promote; whether inside Ruiwosuosi Academy or Shadow City, many wizards urgently desire to implant the Construct.

Because this is just extra assistance, no different from artificers, magical devices, or potions.

However, for version 2.0, converting to study as a Construct Wizard, out of 100 people, 99 will have doubts.

Even in the 'Do Anything Free' group, even the Benevolent Brother Group, Social Anxiety Group, and second-generation core members are like this.

After all, the current upper limit visible for the Construct Wizard School is Linke Grand himself, a fourth-level sage.

Although theoretically, being able to advance to fourth-level sage, over time it is highly likely to become a sixth-level sage, and even possibly reach great sage.

However, smart people always prefer to look further ahead.

Some low-quality talents, even after receiving talent optimization, still have cultivation speed and combat power inferior to peers among the newly recruited "Do-Anything-Free" first-rank wizards, but they are not opposed to switching to Construct Wizardry.

Lin Ke did not refuse the applications from these "Do-Anything-Free" members; in these two months, he personally taught thirteen people.

For now, the results are still relatively ideal.

Among the thirteen, ten saw a moderate increase in cultivation speed and combat power after switching, while the other three saw a large increase.

This degree of increase is compared to implanting version 1.5 of the construct.

Not compared to the cultivation speed and combat power of the thirteen wizards in their bare state.

Lin Ke is not very satisfied with this.

After some thought, Lin Ke shifted the development focus of the Construct Wizard school.

Since mass production is not feasible, we will first focus on quality.

Launch two or three Construct Wizards who can overwhelm other contemporary schools' wizards, thereby fully establishing the reputation of the Construct Wizard school.

Galona became Lin Ke's first choice, and his daughter Melia became his second choice.

Besides, Asande. Contet and Rene. Clark unexpectedly decided to let their son, Noah. Contet, also take the path of Construct Wizardry. Among the three, except for Galona who has special reasons and can start cultivation early, Melia and Noah. Contet must wait ten years.

Lin Ke has plenty of time and the patience to wait.

Happy times are always short.

After resting for two months, Dean Frister, who had finally managed to turn things around, recalled Linke Grand.

Or rather, Dean Frister had never forgotten Lin Ke.

It was just because he had set a trap using his wife and daughter, feeling somewhat guilty in his heart, so even though the Rivorsoth Academy was in turmoil, he still took two months off, letting Lin Ke spend more time with his wife and daughter as compensation.

Now, Rivorsoth Academy has settled down, Dean Frister has free hands, and naturally wants to continue pushing forward the established plan, and to seize the opportunity to renew ties with the reincarnated Holy Saint of Nostradamus.

"I'm leaving."

At the doorstep, Lin Ke bade farewell to his wife and daughter.

"Mm, come back early."

Mo Li held her daughter Melia, gave a reminder, and saw Lin Ke off.

Soon, Lin Ke arrived at Dean Frister's office.

This was their first meeting since the celebration banquet.

"How have you been lately?"

Dean Frister's mood had clearly improved considerably; he was brewing tea.

His favorite green tea had lost its supply, so he had to change his habit and started drinking black tea.

As for the Qinggan Pu'er that Lin Ke had strongly recommended, he declined politely.

"Pretty good, very fulfilling, very warm."

After the previous joint planning, the relationship between Lin Ke and Dean Frister has undergone some changes.

Before, although their relationship was close, it was not intimate, just a very ordinary superior-subordinate one.

The special point was that Lin Ke, as a subordinate, was highly valued by Dean Frister, his superior.

Now, Dean Frister intends to steer their relationship toward partners and comrades, and Lin Ke naturally gladly cooperates.

Rivorsoth Academy ultimately belongs to the Diomande family.

Even though the Diomande family ranges from the Rivor Sage and the Sith Sage up to Dean Frister in the middle, and down to Sandora and others of the fourth generation, none are particularly overbearing in style.

Even within Rivorsoth Academy, overall, it is quite democratic.

However, Rivorsoth Academy belonging to the Diomande family is a consensus among academy wizards and wizard families.

Lin Ke can shift from the identity of "employee" or "worker" to "management" or "shareholder," and he naturally welcomes that.

As for breaking away from Rivorsoth Academy to establish his own faction.

Lin Ke had considered it, but gave it up.

Take the example of Wizard Cawell. Ludwig: before transferring to Rivorsoth Academy, he was a sixth-rank sage, one of the managers of Michelle Grand Sage's Tower.

Strong in ability, he did not dare to break free from the constraints of Michelle Grand Sage's Tower that kept him advancing, before receiving the protection of the Rivor Grand Sage and the Sith Grand Sage.

Lin Ke and Rivorsoth Academy have had unpleasant experiences, such as the unresolved assassination by Loren. Lucia, as well as very pleasant experiences, such as Dean Frister's several protections.

Overall, the pleasant outweighs the unpleasant.

Unless later, when Lin Ke's strength, ability, and financial resources increase to the point that the unpleasant outweighs the pleasant, will he consider starting anew.

"Fulfilling and warm is fine."

Dean Frister poured Lin Ke a cup of tea, then said, "I suppose you've guessed it—I called you here to break your fulfilling and warm life; I hope you don't mind."

"Dean, please speak."

Lin Ke's reply was very straightforward, with no hesitation or reluctance.

After being too comfortable for long, one also wants to move a bit, lest later one sighs, "My thighs have regrown, my great ambitions cannot stretch."

"There is a matter, handed down by the High Council, that must be done by you."

Dean Frister set down the teapot, speaking while picking up the Portable Smart Brain beside him and handing it to Lin Ke: "Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke led a five-person envoy to the parallel universe, successfully completing the mission. On that parallel universe side, the immortal-divine civilization that had long been in contact with our wizard civilization sent an envoy back for a visit. The person in charge of this envoy has deep ties with you. It is precisely him who named you specifically, wanting to communicate with you."

"Is that so?"

Lin Ke took the Portable Smart Brain and reviewed the information on the return envoy members displayed there.

"You can rest assured, this time nothing like what happened last time will occur."

Dean Frister had made a guarantee in advance, then drank tea, giving Lin Ke time to read the materials.

The so-called "like last time" refers to almost a year ago, when Michelle Grand Sage's Tower dispatched an envoy led by Cawell. Ludwig, requesting talks with Lin Ke, resulting in the entire wizard world learning that Michelle Grand Sage was willing to exchange the Michelle region for Linke Grand.

In fact, when the immortal-divine civilization's return envoy proposed this request to the High Council of the wizard civilization, it had already caused a stir within the High Council.

Upon learning from the wizard mouths of the High Council about Linke Grand's experience, the return envoy members were also very surprised.

However, their will was extremely firm; even knowing this, they did not change their original intention.

Dean Frister received the notice from the Supreme Council, and he was also helpless.

"Dean, don't worry, I didn't take that to heart."

Lin Ke looked at the data, without lifting his head, he said.

That's the truth.

Either people seek trouble, or trouble seeks people.

Since it's unavoidable, don't invite worry; just deal with the trouble.

According to the principle of reciprocal exchange, the delegation from the Immortal Divine Civilization making a return visit also consisted of five people; the other four, Lin Ke neither knew nor had heard of.

As it turns out, the head of the return-visit delegation really does have a connection with Lin Ke.

This person is none other than Xu Jing Tian Shi, who left counterfeit Yang Binshi Du Gong Seal and Nine Old Immortal Capital Seal in the Human Immortal Martial World.

According to the Wizard Civilization's ranking system, Xu Jing Tian Shi is equivalent to a Nine-level Grand Sage.

However, there are certainly many differences between the two civilizations; they cannot be simply equated.

"When do we depart?"

Returning the Portable Smart Brain, Lin Ke calmly inquired.

After receiving Xu Jing Tian Shi's "favor," or to put it bluntly, his "scheming," Lin Ke has been waiting for Xu Jing Tian Shi to come knocking.

He originally thought that only by entering a parallel universe himself would he have a chance to understand this karma.

He never expected that Xu Jing Tian Shi would offer an opportunity right at the start of his return visit to the Wizard Civilization's world.

Opportunity must not be missed; time will not come again.

It would be better to settle it early.
