Chapter 538: Chapter 147 Arrival_3
“Serene, what’s behind Assad’s resignation? Do you know the reason?”
The friendship between Witch Renee and Sage Serene had not been affected despite the increasing gap in their ranks.
Renee Clarke was still addressing Sage Serene by her first name.
This affectionate and informal behavior was more in tune with Sage Serene’s heart.
“I don’t know,”
Sage Serene replied, “As you know, I’ve secretly cut ties with Sage Palo’s faction. It’s just that the news hasn’t been public yet. So, I haven’t been paying attention to their movements.”
“That quickly? And do you really need to sever ties so decisively?”
Renee asked curiously, “What has gotten into you that’s caused such a sudden and drastic change?”
In fact, from the beginning, Renee felt that her friend was too love-struck.
She didn’t think it was a good thing for Sage Serene to be waiting patiently.
She had advised her many times, albeit to no avail.
Renee had not expected Sage Serene to suddenly come to her senses.
But moving from one extreme to another was not what Renee wanted to see.
“No particular reason.”
Remembering the scenario when Link Grande was attacked, and she urgently sought an explanation from Dean Frist, only to find out that it was all arranged by the academy, Sage Serene smiled and said, “It was just the deepening of a realization.”
“What realization?”
Renee immediately asked, “Share it, let me understand as well.”
Sage Serene gently shook her head: “Telling won’t help, you need to experience it deeply yourself.”
“Is that so?”
Seeing Sage Serene’s stance, Renee stopped her questioning and sought advice instead, “Do you think I should go look for Assad to show some concern?”
“If you want to go, just go, why hesitate?”
Sage Serene asked curiously, “Your usual fearless demeanor seems to be missing.”
“Oh, I’m about to get married soon, so I’m feeling a bit shy.”
Renee’s face turned pink, revealing a coy smile.
Wizards, each one was a master of facial expression management.
“Go away!”
Sage Serene instantly turned stern and chased her flaunting friend out of the villa.
What was that?
It was outright mockery!
Sage Serene didn’t want to be belittled at all.
“Hehehe…”
Renee left Sage Serene’s North District Villa with a peal of silver-like laughter.
Returning home, she took her dispirited sister, Elise Clarke, who was curled up in a corner moping, directly to the inter-dimensional teleportation gate.
“Where are we going?”
Just before entering the teleportation gate, Elise finally snapped out of her trance and asked weakly.
Quite unexpectedly, her usual energy was lacking.
Seeing her sister’s mood swings, Renee felt deep pity: “I thought you needed a breather, and we can also look for your future brother-in-law while we’re at it.”
On normal occasions, regardless of the mood, Elise always retorts “You want to see my brother-in-law right, I’m just coming along.”
But now, Elise simply responded with an “Oh”.
Her behavior was seriously abnormal.
Without further ado, Renee led Elise into the teleportation gate, heading for the Sage Palo army’s rear camp.
Desolate World, rear camp.
The moment the teleportation gate went from single-directional control to bidirectional, Link came here.
Having submitted his application to the Tower Spirit for returning to the Wizard World homeland, he was now waiting.
Link had used the teleportation gate many times in the past and hadn’t needed to wait long.
But this time, since Link was ‘smuggled’ from the Wizard World to the Fairy World without any immigration record,
The Tower Spirit had to verify Link’s identity and seek approval whether to let him through.
Therefore, when Renee and Elise Clarke walked out of the teleportation gate, Link was still waiting.
“Link! So this is where you ran off to!”
As soon as Elise saw Link, she immediately perked up, shouting excitedly.
“Tsk.”
Recalling her best friend’s cheeky comment, Renee muttered, “You really wish to be the youngest, don’t you?”
“Sis, you go find my brother-in-law.”
Elise pushed her sister towards the teleportation gate leading to the Fairy World.
“Seeing a loved-one and forgetting your sister, I guess I won’t bother you then,”
Glancing at the silent Link, Renee joked, “You two must play nice.”
She then walked into the teleportation gate, heading for the Fairy World.
“Are you returning to the homeland?”
Elise bounced up to Link, titled her head up and looked at Link, who was a head taller than her, and asked cheerfully, “Can I go back with you?”
“And then take pictures or videos, and upset Jasmine?”
Link asked dispassionately.
“Hehehe…”
Elise laughed continuously, feeling no embarrassment even when Link saw through her thoughts.
She didn’t seem like a madwoman anymore, rather like an idiot.
“Let’s go.”
At this moment, the Tower Spirit approved Link’s request, and the teleportation gate shone brightly.
“Together, together.”
Elise cried out loudly, as she and Link stepped into the teleportation gate together.
The glow brightened.
A beam of the Light of Annihilation, coming directly from outer space in the Desolate World, struck the platform where the teleportation gate was located.
The attack of the Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance hit here.
The teleportation gate to the Fairy World, which had just been built not long ago, was destroyed.
The teleportation gate to the Wizard World met the same fate.
“Damn!”
The consequence of teleportation being interrupted halfway was that Link and Elise were sucked into a chaotic spacetime flow leading to who-knows-where.
So this was what impending doom looked like.
Calamity fell from the sky!
“Don’t let go!”
At the critical moment, Link grabbed Elise’s hand, hurriedly took out the “Celestial Shuttle”.
He wasn’t concerned about the possible damage the chaotic spacetime flow might have on the “Celestial Shuttle”.
Bringing Elise with him, Link entered it, activated the maximum power defense shield, and quickly hid inside the escape pod.
Increase the slightest chance of survival!
