Chapter 341: Chapter 82: Where it Comes From, Where it Returns To_3
Unfortunately, without the permission of the front-line command, the two squads could only patrol in the Fairy King Forest.
Doing the same thing every day, with no technical substance, unable to show anything abnormal, was extremely boring.
Link, with two projects that were about to yield final results, needed time for further research.
Consequently, he felt even more bored and annoyed.
If it wasn’t for the “seed” being too attractive and bound to draw attention, Link would have come clean.
He would have told everyone that he was just about to obliterate the soul of the Fairy King!
Then there would be no need to roam around aimlessly in the Fairy King Forest all day!
But he dared not, he could only grumble in his mind.
Helpless, Link had to use the “Mind Closure Technique” to block out related emotions and painfully endure it.
Like this, he wasted another 7 days.
That day, a message was passed from the frontline command that Sage Palo had confirmed the Fairy King’s complete death through a special method.
The World’s Mind of the Wizard World had completely infiltrated the World’s Mind of the Fairy World.
The two squads were allowed to terminate their hunting mission and return to the advance base for rest.
Yes, the majority of the Sage Palo’s army was still stationed at the advance base.
Only a small part required to interact with the Five-Clan Coalition Government would station in the Royal Court or other places.
The first thing upon returning to the base, of course, was to report.
Boss Otis, as the special squad captain, was given an opportunity to report one-on-one to Sage Palo.
This lasted for thirty minutes.
Valerian Boss, albeit being a Tier 3 wizard like Otis, had the same opportunity to report one-on-one to Sage Palo.
However, he rejected it and had Boss Otis deliver the briefing report on his behalf.
This one was very reserved, and after the two squads combined, he didn’t say more than 20 words besides giving orders.
When the special squad finished reporting, Link’s secondment ended, and he became “free” again.
After saying goodbye to Assad, to Lokan who never liked him, and to all members of the special and auxiliary squads, Link turned around and entered the tent where Sage Palo was located.
Link also had the qualification for a one-on-one report!
This surprised everyone, but they also found it within reason.
Already well-known among the army, Sage Palo valued Link Grande highly and treated him almost like his own son.
A one-on-one report was nothing surprising.
“Something to say? Spit it out.”
In the tent, Sage Palo leaned in his rocking chair, feigning sleep, with traces of fatigue on his face.
Even a Fourth-Level Sage could not avoid the trouble of paperwork.
“My research will soon be successful, but still lacks some experimental materials, corpses and living bodies.”
Link didn’t beat around the bush; he stated his request directly.
War had drawn to a close and so biochemical research could not be conducted brazenly anymore.
He needed permission from the frontline command to acquire experimental materials, then quietly get to work.
“Just apply normally, don’t make it too special.”
Sage Palo was not opposed, merely reminding him.
“Alright, I will.”
Link nodded, hesitated for a moment, and didn’t mention the “seed” and the matter of the Fairy King’s Spirit.
Just like what Sage Palo had hinted before:
Some things can be done but not said, some things can be said but not done.
The matter of the “seed” and the Fairy King’s Spirit could only be done, not said.
“Go back to the rear Potion Department then, old man Morpheus has been missing you.”
Sage Palo waved his hand, dismissed him and gave Link his next appointment.
“Thank you, Sage Palo.”
Link was eager to accept this arrangement.
The work in the rear Potion Department was easy with complete laboratory facilities and equipment and with a nice boss. Where else could he find such a good job?
After bidding farewell to Sage Palo, Link immediately informed old man Morpheus of his imminent return, then headed for the nearby portal.
After a brief wait in line, Link stepped into the portal.
A moment later, he emerged in a new place, from the Fairy World’s frontline base to the rear camp in the Desolate World.
As soon as Link stepped out of the portal, he saw old man Morpheus awaiting eagerly.
Upon seeing Link’s figure, old man Morpheus rushed over with his arms spread out.
After a hearty bear hug, Old Man Morpheus shouted loudly:
“I’ve missed you to death!”
