The motive remained unknown, but the goal was to bring Link under the “spotlight”.
To draw more people’s attention to Link through the act of giving gifts.
At this point, Tina walked over to Link, patted him on the shoulder and whispered in a hushed voice, “Beware of Lokan.”
After speaking, she left a slightly changing Link and quickly entered the hall with Sharia’s hand.
Not to be outdone, Ayla held Sharia’s other hand.
At this moment, Link remembered his first encounter with Lokan Wizard, who casually dislocated his arm with one smack.
This experience is quite unpleasant.
Could it be him?
Doubt arose in Link’s heart.
Without thinking too much, Link quickly regained his composure and followed the three women into the elaborately arranged hall.
Firstly, he went to the place where gifts were registered and stored.
To his surprise, it was Serene Wizard who was responsible for registering gifts.
Seeing this, Link was taken aback.
“I can’t trust others to do this,” said Serene Wizard, looking at the evidently shocked Link.
Link understood that it seemed someone in Wizard Palo’s Camp was really targeting him secretly.
So much so that Serene Wizard had to personally intervene.
She undertook a task that didn’t quite match her status to protect Link.
To prevent anyone from tampering with Link’s gifts further.
“Give it to me,” Serene Wizard disregarded Link’s genuine surprise and glanced at the gift box in Link’s arms.
“Oh…”
Coming back to his senses, Link took a step forward, put the gift box on the table in front of Serene Wizard, and gave sincere thanks. “Thankyou very much for your help. I’m sorry for the trouble.”
“Hehehe…”
Serene Wizard laughed, emitting a delightful sound and stirring up a sense of justice. “Young man, don’t get too emotional.”
Link scratched his head and showed a little embarrassment on his face, “I won’t disturb you anymore.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Link bowed and then walked away.
Even if his earlier assumptions did not match the truth.
One cannot have too many gifts after all.
It’s still early, there aren’t many people in the banquet hall.
Sharia, Tina, and Ayla had their own circle and were chatting with some young wizards.
Not wanting to intrude, Link surveyed the banquet hall and decided to stay in the corner which was a bit secluded.
He didn’t ask for anything else, just peace and quiet.
As time passed, more guests arrived, and the banquet hall gradually became lively.
After a little while longer, the official promotion ceremony began.
Wizard Palo, accompanied by a few wizards whom Link barely recognized, entered the banquet hall from the back and then walked up to a specially built platform in the center all by himself.
Those wizards guarded the four corners of the platform with a slight touch of vigilance.
This was very common, and everyone could accept it.
To prevent anyone from intentionally creating trouble and disrupting the promotional process.
Even though it couldn’t be disrupted on a fundamental level, if it was actually done, it wouldn’t look good.
The banquet hall instantly fell silent.
Wizard Palo slowly surveyed the banquet hall, his lips opened slightly and a loud voice echoed throughout the hall, “Thank you all for coming, thank you all for witnessing.”
Just two short sentences, nothing more.
With his eyes closed and his hands open, his head slightly tilted back, Wizard
Palo began the promotion ceremony.
The banquet hall immediately became completely silent.
Everyone instinctively held their breath for fear of disturbing Wizard Palo.
No grand scene was presented.
A captivating ripple faintly emanated from Wizard Palo’s body, which then instantly dissipated.
No, it was more like a droplet of water merging into the sea.
An indescribable ripple descended on the hall.
Link felt an infinite touch in his heart.
It was as if he had returned to the state of an infant, back in his mother’s womb, experiencing boundless warmth, care, and love.
This feeling came fast and left even faster.
Link felt a sense of loss.
Many people in the room had the same look of regret and disappointment on their faces as Link.
Regret for the fleeting experience, disappointment for not gaining more.
Just now, Wizard Palo had completed his resonance with the world’s will and “branded” his intent onto it.
That indescribable ripple was the world’s will responding and paying attention.
In the future, in any Heavenly World covered by the will of Wizard World, Wizard Palo wouldn’t need to specifically revise his casting according to the rules of the particular world.
He could simply cast as he did in the Wizard World.
Even if the principles of certain witchcraft contradicted the rules of the respective world, it could still be cast without error.
That’s how domineering it was.
Even when exploring uncharted territory in a Different World that the will of the Wizard World couldn’t cover temporarily, he could still make use of the world’s will to decode the rules of that foreign world in real-time.
The Sages (level four, five, and six wizards) are the backbone of the Wizard World.
Official wizards and below are just the base.
The reason why Serene Wizard said that watching an official wizard’s promotion to Sage up close is an opportunity many crave but cannot get was that the will of the world descends during the ceremony.
This was the only time people at or below the rank of official wizards could come into contact with the will of the world in advance.
Link felt like he had gained a lot.
Because he had just activated the “Multi-Threading Thinking” status card that he had intentionally saved.
His “Mind Closure Technique” and “Multi-Threading Thinking” status card going full swing is Link’s current strongest stance.
Whether it’s for fighting, learning or researching.
Within the short 3 seconds, the consumption of spiritual power was several times that of his usual usage.
Link was almost drained dry.
But every bit of it was worth it.
