Chapter 380: Chapter 96 Progress_1
“Master, Master, Franda is back.”
As soon as Franda returned to the “Small World”, she immediately started calling out.
Link chose to summon Franda immediately.
After all, during the discussion with the Serene Wizard and Wizard Cody about tonight’s mission, Franda’s existence had already been revealed by Link.
Therefore, summoning Franda while at the villa of the Serene Wizard was not a big deal for Link.
Why would he reveal Franda’s existence?
Has Link lost his smarts?
Not at all.
The reason for the revelation is simple.
With continuous cultivation, the “Small World” would provide more and more assistance to Link.
Being the “Spirit” of the “Small World”, Franda’s appearance frequency would also increase over time.
Franda, who has the potential to develop into a True Spirit Wizard, can now help Link in battles;
Franda, who can share Link’s knowledge, can now concoct potions according to recipes.
In the future, once Franda evolves again or several more times, she will be able to do much more and play a more crucial role.
Rather than having trouble hiding her existence in the late stages and having to explain it,
it’s better to be transparent from the beginning to avoid potential misgivings.
Link honestly revealed that Franda was an additional reward from placing first in the annual competition of District Two, and was a recently awakened summoned entity.
This was the truth, just with some verbal artistry.
It couldn’t be considered deceitful at all.
Both Wizard Cody and Sage Palo were past champions of the annual competition of District Two, and knew about the additional prizes.
Thus, the origin of Franda seemed reasonable.
Well, at least on the surface it did.
Even though everyone inherently knew that there must be secrets surrounding Franda, no one would investigate.
It was an unspoken understanding.
After all, what kind of outstanding wizard doesn’t have secrets?
“Master, Master, look, Franda has bought back the items.”
As soon as Franda landed, she immediately held up two pieces of fist-sized mother ores like treasures, presenting them to Link, anticipating his praises.
“Well done! Franda is amazing!”
Of course, Link would not stint on praises that don’t cost Magic Stones, giving her a big thumbs up.
“Hmm…”
Franda responded cheerfully, then put the two pieces of mother ores on the coffee table next to Link, started counting on her fingers,
“Master, I myself spent 57 standard first-level Magic Stones.
I bought seeds for 9 types of flowers and 6 types of grasses, which can add some colors to your garden.
I also bought two pretty little dresses for myself to change into, along with two hairbands and two necklaces to switch up.”
“Master, what do you think of the things that Franda bought?”
“Great, get more when you have the chance next time. Especially the pretty little dresses and accessories, Master has plenty of Magic Stones to spare, no need to save.”
Link, looking at the little girl in front of him who seemed to have transferred some sort of emotion onto him like a sprite, said gently with a smile.
“Hehe…”
Franda smiled, showing her teeth, but didn’t respond directly, instead said, “Master, I am going back to plant flowers and grass.”
“Ok.”
Link nodded in agreement.
Once Franda returned to the “Small World”, Link picked up the “Molten Gold Ore” and “Rock Iron Ore” that he had attained after much effort. He fondled them in his hand while gazing into the distance thoughtfully.
Franda could share Link’s vision, and similarly, Link could also share Franda’s vision.
Through Franda’s eyes, Link saw the ambush team from Lucia’s family that appeared at the entrance of the Black Market.
Based on the data on Lucia’s family that he had previously investigated, Link recognized the identities of those people.
Two senior second-level wizards and six first-level wizards.
The composition of this team was aimed at ensuring Link’s death, they gave him no room for survival.
It seemed that Lucia’s family has not given up on harming him.
The reason for Lucia’s family’s lack of action since Link’s return to his homeland was not only related to their internal adjustment and contraction, but also related to Link’s daily routine and itinerary.
Unless necessary, Link does not leave the academy, and when he does, he does not go to the chaotic areas.
This has made it difficult for Lucia’s family to find a suitable opportunity.
With a third ring vehicle level carrier available, it is not very realistic to ambush him on his way between the academy and Ravensmouth City.
The carrier’s inherent defense is difficult to break through in a short time, and it requires a third-level wizard to take action, or use a high-power attack magic tool.
Its ability to transform into a supersonic flying mode and escape from the battlefield is also formidable.
Forcefully ambushing it halfway would create a huge commotion.
The academy is not blind or deaf, soon a multitude of Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppets would be dispatched, surrounding the troublemakers.
When the time comes, not only will they fail to kill their target, but they would also face the academy’s punishment. That would be truly distressing.
Only in chaotic places like the West District and the Black Market could Lucia’s family find a suitable opportunity and location to ambush and kill Link.
Lucia’s family, who originally thought that Link would continue to hole up, was actually close to giving up the plan to kill Link in the short term.
Who knew Link would instigate a conflict and leave a seemingly fatal loophole tonight.
Even though they knew there must a trap, some members of Lucia’s family who favored Zoran could not resist the temptation and decided to take action.
If they succeed, wouldn’t they leave a good impression in the heart of Zoran who is about to get promoted to the rank of a sage?
With such a gambling mentality, they formed this elite team with two senior second-level wizards leading the attack and six first-level wizards assisting.
Such a strong killing intent caused Link’s hair to stand on end.
