Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 539: Chapter 148: Star Trek_1

Sage Palo’s army had indeed lost contact.

The Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance had crossed the Supreme Council’s threshold of tolerance with this audacious attack, serving as a warning to the Ravensmouth College.

Great Sage Seuss strived for promotion to level eight among the Great Sages, and the two families did not resist this openly.

From the Supreme Council of the Wizard World to basic wizard organizations, all were actively preparing for the significant changes foreseen in the final prophecy of the Saint of Nostrodamus. It was a time of tumult not seen in thousands of years, and nobody dared to voice any overt objections.

Their public stance had issues, however, with the domineering style of Great Sage Revo and his extensive scavenging practices.

There’s a vast difference between scavenging and collecting.

The total available resources in the Mitchell District, including the regions of the Mitchell District that the Supreme Council “distributed” for expansion into new star domains, were finite, especially where higher level resources were concerned.

If Ravensmouth College took a bigger portion, other wizard organizations would have to make do with less.

Even if their power was strong, and their growth was good, they couldn’t eat what was in the pot, eye what was in the pan, and still steal what was in our bowl.

One mustn’t appear too greedy!

If this matter were escalated to Saint Gros of the West Coast, or even to the Supreme Council, the Flame and Metal Trading Company and White Tower Alliance would have defensible arguments to cite.

And on top of it all, they had held back during the surprise attack.

If they had really intended to, they could have easily cleaned out Lucia’s family’s Mixed Corps stationed in the rear camp of the Desolate World.

They wouldn’t have fired one round of the Light of Annihilation, destroyed a few portals, and then ceased and hastily retreated.

Even though the attack had caused some casualties, those were unintentional, not deliberate.

At most, they’d make some humanitarian reparations in the economic sense.

All else was irrelevant.

When Dean Frist received the emergency report, he didn’t care about the loss of materials.

While it wasn’t cheap to establish two portals,

the cost was at most the same as the Flame and Metal Trading Company and White Tower Alliance expending half their power in a Light of Annihilation.

That loss wasn’t significant.

The disconnection with Sage Palo’s army and the Wizard World was temporary.

It would be easy to reestablish contact.

However, upon reading the part of the report that mentioned Link Grande and Elise Clark as they transported back to the native continent of the Wizard World, their teleportation was interrupted, causing them to fall into the spatial-temporal turbulence,

Dean Frist became very serious instantly and began to pay close attention to this event.

Link Grande’s identity was clear.

A “special guest” whose soul was from a technology-centered parallel universe in his previous life had already been marked by the Wizard World.

His past was merely a nutrient and obstacle to Link Grande’s growth process.

Elise Clark’s identity was rather more complicated.

Her soul was entirely from the Wizard World, but she possessed a multifaceted personality.

Her mind had occasional flashes of fragmentary memories from souls of her counterparts in parallel worlds. They greatly influenced her, making her increasingly manic in her words and deeds.

Up to now, the Clark family hadn’t confirmed the cause of this situation.

A couple of sages at the college who were interested in this had discussed it, but came to no definitive conclusions.

Only a few hypotheses and conjectures were proposed, none of which had been verified.

Dean Frist was perfectly aware that his grandfather, Great Sage Revo, was searching for the special “guest” mentioned in the prophecy of Nostrodamus.

He had even facilitated the learning and interactions with Shadow City.

The supposed order from the university that designated Link Grande as a team leader was clearly orchestrated by Frist.

He had simply refrained from making the decision directly in his capacity as Dean of the Senior Division.

Sitting in the seat of the Dean of Two Divisions, he still needed to maintain a façade of fairness and integrity.

He couldn’t seem too partial.

The result proved that although Link Grande was special, his uniqueness was in other aspects.

He was not the special “guest” in the prophecy of Nostrodamus.

“Could it be you?”

Dean Frist lightly tapped on Elise Clark’s name, murmuring to himself.

Yes, when he saw the report about Link and Elise falling into spatial-temporal turbulence, his first reaction was to wonder if Elise Clark could be the special “guest” mentioned in the prophecy.

This speculation was not baseless or merely an intuitive guess; it had an underlying logic.

In a strict sense, Elise Clark could indeed be considered a “special guest.”

And a very peculiar one at that.

It was precisely because of this uniqueness that all members of the college, including Great Sage Revo, had unconsciously ruled out the possibility of Elise Clark being the special “guest” indicated in the prophecy.

This was a native soul from the Wizard World!

How could it possibly serve as the key to opening the channel to the parallel universe behind the Special Ruin World?

Therefore, those who knew about and were involved in the search for the special “guest” from the prophecy unconsciously left out Elise Clark.

They hadn’t arranged for her to go on a trip to the Special Ruin World to test this.

Upon reflection, Dean Frist found the notion of being a native soul of the Wizard World to be particularly misleading.

Who had dictated that the special “guest” prophesied by Nostrodamus had to be from one’s first life after reincarnating into the Wizard World?
