Chapter 305: Chapter 70: The Joy of Reunion? No, it’s
Refusal 3
Work until you drop dead, or thereabouts.
There was no need for chit-chat, so the connection was quickly dropped.
Link glanced around his dormitory and began to pack his belongings.
As the “email” clearly stated, the intelligence department was assembling a special task force for deep reconnaissance and operation behind enemy lines.
Therefore, aside from necessary magic tools, the items he should bring could not be too bulky or impede his actions.
Link’s roles were those of a biological advisor and a medical specialist. These were the areas he needed to prepare for.
Before long, Link packed his luggage.
Everything just fits into a big backpack.
The official notice for the secondment from the Intelligence Department arrived swiftly, requesting him to wait outside the Potion Department in ten minutes. An official would come to meet him.
Link picked up his backpack and left his dormitory. He walked through the small courtyard, came directly to the front door, and stood next to the crooked door plate.
“Get in.”
An off-road vehicle with an arrogant aura executed a drift and stopped in front of Link.
The driver’s side window rolled down, revealing the giddy face of Assad Kenneth.
Link tossed his backpack onto the back seat and then sat in the passenger seat.
The off-road vehicle started, moving at an incredible speed.
After a moment of thought, Link turned his head to the director of the Intelligence Department, who spoke and acted frivolously but was, in fact, a senior second-level wizard. He asked his question, “Mr. Kenneth, I am quite curious as to why you always come to fetch me. I am just a modest first-level wizard, surely not significant enough to make you leave your work unattended at the Intelligence Department to pick me up?”
Assad snickered, extending his right index finger and tapping the air a few times in Link’s direction. “People often say that beauties do not know their own allure. I think you might be playing a similar tune.
A mere first-level wizard? At this point, who within the legion would regard you as just that?
It has been barely half a month since you joined the legion, yet you have sequentially taken part in two major feats, each more sophisticated than the last and with greater impact.
Fetch you? Even the two top-notch leaders of the Intelligence Department would not dare overlookyou, let alone this humble department head.”
Taking advantage of the moment, Link followed up with another question: “Then why was it you who fetched me at first?”
This was the real question that Link wanted to ask.
The smile on Assad’s face tightened slightly before he revealed the truth: “Renee Clarke and I are about to start our own family. Elise begged me to take good care of you.”
Upon hearing this, Link’s face twitched a little.
This was an unanticipated act of nepotism!
The atmosphere within the car turned somewhat peculiar as they both fell silent.
Fortunately, they soon arrived at the transportation portal.
They both alighted from the car.
Link took his backpack from the back seat and saw the resizing process of the high-end transportation vehicle once again.
The off-road vehicle shrank to the size of a toy model under Assad’s effortless command, flying into his hand before he pocketed it.
“Let’s go. You will have your own soon enough. Your report this time has great value; Wizard Palo definitely will give you a nice reward.”
Assad saw the admiration in Link’s eyes as he admired the off-road vehicle that could change size at will, and reassured him with a smile before he stepped ahead into the transportation portal set with coordinates.
Link immediately followed suit.
It was like passing through a curtain of water; in an instant, Link left the desolate world dominated by withered yellow and arrived in a fairy world filled with greenery.
The transportation portal of the outpost was located right in the center of the camp.
With the portal as its origin, two main roads, one vertical and one horizontal, divided the camp into four main areas.
The Intelligence Department was located at the core of the North District.
Exiting the portal area, Assad immediately initiated the miniaturized off-road vehicle and they headed towards the Intelligence Department headquarters with Link in tow.
The special task force was already fully organized and didn’t need to gather again.
This time, they only added two more.
Lokan, the Lokan Wizard, had always been at the outpost. As soon as Link arrived, the team was full.
The vehicle came to a stop and Link carried his backpack before he followed Assad to meet the rest of the special task force.
From afar, a familiar, tall, and muscular figure entered Link’s view.
It was the Lokan Wizard, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.
Lokan stretched out his arms and laughed heartily as he approached.
He acted as if they were very close, as though he was about to offer Link a hug for their reunion after a long separation.
However, there was a strong and evident malice emitting from his posture, movements, and facial expression.
Franda, who had been alert via Link’s eyesight, was stirred by the malice from the Lokan Wizard.
Believing that he was threatening Link’s safety, she directly activated her heavily modified Destiny Witchcraft “Armor Orchid Battle Armor”.
Link didn’t have time nor did he think about stopping it.
An orchid armor appeared on his brow, made several cracking sounds, and quickly clad him in battle armor, completing the transformation.
He stood in full armor, obviously prepared for battle.
It was as if he was roaring, “Don’tyou dare approach me!”
The atmosphere at the Intelligence Department changed in an instant.
It became a bit delicate.
And a little awkward.
