Chapter 269: Chapter 58: Cards on the Table, Let it be_2
“You passed the test.”
A smile flickered at the corners of Serene Wizard’s mouth. She left Link alone and started asking, “Little guy, the fact that you bring up the encounters on your own indicates there’s more to it. So go on. What do you need me to do?” Instantly Link turned serious, and he explained, “Serene Wizard, I found out this morning that there was a misalignment between Jasmine’s soul and her physical body. After asking Jasmine and consulting some documents and literature, I found that it’s possibly due to a drastic transformation she’s undergone in a very short time…”
“Wait.”
Serene Wizard raised her right hand to stop Link, she asked with seriousness in her tone, “Did you get promoted?”
Clearly, perceiving the relation and problem between the soul and the physical body was not a task that a wizard apprentice could achieve.
No matter how talented and extraordinary the wizard apprentice is, they could never manage it!
Link replied, “That’s the second thing I was going to report. My promotion happened surprisingly and unexpectedly, and there have been some complications.”
“Hmm.”
Serene Wizard nodded and made a decision, “I’ll send a car to pick you guys up. Let’s talk in detail face-to-face.”
After finishing her words, Serene Wizard cut the communication, made some arrangements, and sent an armed hovercraft to pick up Link and Jasmine.
Serene Wizard took out an encrypted communicator and contacted the only recorded contact on it after some careful thinking.
“What’s up?”
The connection was quickly established and Wizard Palo’s voice came over, with a noisy background.
“Link Grande has been promoted to Official Wizard.”
Serene Wizard didn’t beat around the bush and directly mentioned the core information.
“So soon? Have there been any unexpected developments?”
Wizard Palo was astonished, and hastily asked.
“He said that his promotion was sudden, and there have been some unexpected developments in the process.”
Serene Wizard confirmed Wizard Palo’s suspicion and then said, “I send a car to pick him up and thought it necessary to inform you first.”
“Hmm. I will follow up on the matter promptly.”
Wizard Palo first expressed his attitude, then stressed, “He’s crucial to our cause. Please take more care of him.”
“Hmm.”
Serene Wizard agreed, didn’t say anything, but also didn’t disconnect the communication.
Palo on the other end also maintained silence for some unknown reason.
Some things can be left unsaid when you meet frequently, but when you’re far apart, they can no longer be ignored.
After a long silence, seeing that the noisy background at Palo’s end remained the same but no words came out, Serene Wizard sighed softly, looked at the coordinate of the approaching hovercraft and said, “They’re almost here, let’s just leave it at that.”
At last, Serene Wizard added, “Just let it be.”
As her words fell, disregarding whether the other end would respond, she hung up the call.
Upon putting away the communicator, there was a flash of anger across Serene Wizard’s face.
Was she only capable of staying in the safe homeland and not fit for the front line?
Forget about it, don’t be angry!
Such things could not be discussed with those male-chauvinist wizards.
Serene adjusted her mood, opened the villa’s gate letting the hovercraft inside the yard.
Soon, Jasmine and Link entered the living room on the first floor of the villa.
“Serene Wizard, good afternoon.”
“Hmm, good afternoon to you too.”
After exchanging pleasantries, they got straight to the point.
Serene Wizard looked at Jasmine with concentration, After inspecting her for a moment, she nodded and said, “Indeed, there’s an issue concerning the connection between her soul and her body. Thankfully, it was discovered in time. It’s not difficult or complicated to deal with it.”
Saying that, Serene Wizard turned around to ask Link, “What do you think we should do?”
Link had been pondering over this issue, “There are two steps. First is to detect and remove the abnormality that caused the separation of the soul and the body. Second is to nourish the soul, to enhance the slightly weaker soul strength and make it consistent with the body.”
Serine wizard responded with a teasing smile, “You seem to have done quite some homework. What’s wrong, fallen for her?”
For the first time, Linkdidn’t dodge the question, he calmly replied, “Yes, I have. It was totally unnecessary for her to suffer like this.”
Serene Wizard glanced at Link, then turned to Jasmine and said with a smile, “Congratulations.”
Jasmine blushed, her lips tightly pressed together to hold back her laughter, and she didn’t even care about manners at this point nor did she respond verbally. She just nodded repeatedly.
She agreed to the experiment for the chance to upgrade her wizard qualifications, but she didn’t expect to gain this surprise.
The wooden-head actually confessed his affection for her in front of Serene Wizard. The mere thought made Jasmine feel elated.
After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
“Alright, stop doing the lovey-dovey thing here, let’s get to work now.”
Serene Wizard gave Jasmine, who had stars in her eyes, a glance and headed to the basement first.
Even though you can perceive the problem with your naked eyes, you need the apparatus to confirm the severity and specifics of the condition.
Link and Jasmine followed him into the underground laboratory.
“You wait here for a while.”
Considering that Jasmine would need to be completely naked during the test, Serene Wizard specifically arranged for Link to wait in a small separate area. Link complied directly with Serene Wizard’s instructions and sat down calmly. There was a reason for this arrangement.
Serene Wizard led Jasmine into the experimental area, instructed Jasmine to take off her clothes, and then began to adjust the parameters of the instrument. After a busy time, the comprehensive and detailed detection ended.
The bodily data were available right on the spot.
The spiritual situation would need a little more waiting.
“You go wait outside too.”
As Sorcerer Serene examined Jasmine’s physiological data and compared it with the previous test results, she gave an order.
“Hmm.”
Jasmine obediently replied, then bowed slightly, “Thankyou, Serene wizard, I made you go through the trouble.”
“Not at all. It’s no bother.”
While she focused on reading the data, Serene Wizard casually responded.
Jasmine put on her clothes, walked out of the experimental area, and sat down beside Link to wait together.
After a while, Serene Wizard came out with two test reports.
“Your two propositions can be pursued concurrently.”
Serene Wizard handed the two reports to Link and then said to Jasmine, “Go for your treatment, in immersion form.”
“Alright, thank you, Serene Wizard.”
Having put on her clothes and sat down for a short while, Jasmine had to go back in and undress for treatment.
This process seemed unnecessary.
But it was indeed necessary.
Accepting detection and treatment nakedly is acceptable to most people.
However, unless they have a special fetish, most people cannot accept naked conversations.
This was a manifestation of Serene Wizard’s respect for Jasmine’s dignity, even though she was only a second-rank wizard apprentice, instead of disdain her.
“Tell me exactly what happened.”
After dealing with Jasmine’s issue, Serene Wizard turned her attention to Link’s situation.
“Here’s what happened…”
Link put aside the two reports in his hand, sat upright, and began seriously.
He concisely recounted the process of how he completed the Life Essence Transition and ascended to an official wizard in a short time after brandishing the witchcraft of destiny, as well as the two accidents involving the soul.
After listening to Link’s account, Serene Wizard frowned.
During the second stage of the Life Essence Transition, the “Soul Refining”, the “special guest” spirit has certain advantages.
This is a common understanding.
During the third stage, “Reintegration of the Soul and Body”, they have significant disadvantages.
This is also a common understanding.
There is no reason that “Soul Refining” conforms to the common understanding, while “Reintegration” contradicts it.
There must have been some changes that Link himself overlooked.
Serene Wizard shared her doubts with Link and asked him to think carefully about whether he had any experiences of soul elevation.
Link sank his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness and swiftly reviewed his experiences in the past year.
He indeed found two episodes related to the soul and one event that might have had an impact.
The two episodes were the “touch and enlightenment” when the Silver Star flower sprouted, and the feeling of being reborn at Wizard Palo’s ascension ceremony.
The potentially influential event was the change of authority of the “Seed” and the change of Jasmine.
Link was not sure exactly how this event happened, so he did not tell Serene Wizard.
Only the two episodes were told.
After listening to Link’s account, Serene Wizard was amazed, her tempting red lips slightly opened, and she remained silent for a long time.
Was this talent, or luck?
The reason for the existence of the Sage’s Ascension Ceremony, a ceremony that does not benefit the parties involved, is that the observers have the chance to attract the attention of the World Will when they observe the World Will’s arrival.
Link’s achievement was already more than just attracting attention, he directly earned its favor!
This gain was no less than that of Wizard Palo himself.
One in ten thousand.
So jealous.
