Chapter 566: Chapter 157: Encountering Trouble at the Start_1
Why return to the Insect World?
A mission is a mission. Once assigned and accepted, there must be a resolution.
It could be completed, failed or appealed.
For some reason, Lady Lisandra only expelled the alien insect part in the Level 3 Insect World, but did not thoroughly solve the problem in the Level 3 Insect World.
She did not appeal to the Supreme Council under the name of Ravensmouth College, nor did she apply for a judgment.
This means that despite having the incomplete report submitted by Link, Sandra’s mission has not been completed yet.
After delaying for so long, Sandra had finally coordinated everyone’s time.
Returning to the Insect World this time was to accomplish the unfinished tasks.
On the “Cloud Rainbow”, in the cockpit.
After the “Cloud Rainbow” entered sub-light-speed mode, Sandra gathered the 11 Mini-Legion members and announced:
“In this return, our objective is simple, to survey the current ecological structure of the Level 3 Insect World, the abnormal changes that have occurred, and the reasons for the mutations.”
After a brief pause, Sandra emphasised, “Only these three objectives.”
Experiencing Lady Lisandra’s ‘shock education’, and subsequent issues, some changes had occurred in Sandra.
For example, she no longer has high expectations and low results, thinking that she can get things done once she takes action.
Or to not hype things up before a task has even started.
Therefore, in this return, there were only the initial three objectives from the Supreme Council.
The three additional objectives from last time were not mentioned at all.
It seemed she had given up completely.
After announcing the objectives, Sandra’s assignments for the mini-legion members were similar to last time.
Eight would scout and fight, four would study and detect.
Link was moved to the scouting and fighting group, taking the place of the round-faced fat man.
Jasmine took over Link’s post.
This time though, the four people in charge of research did not group and compete.
The short meeting ended, Tiffany Colonna took the initiative to look for Link and asked, “Do you know what happened recently in our motherland?”
“What happened?”
In the past two months, immersed in advanced studies, research, and experiments, Link really did not have the energy to pay attention to matters occurring within their native land.
He had not logged into the forums that he usually browsed.
Even “Free to Do Anything” and Grande Potion Shop were left alone and ungoverned.
Tiffany did not play guessing games and directly said, “Mesopotamia University has given in and handed over the core layer of Lucia’s Family. Sage Cody represented the college to receive it. Many people from Lucia’s family were killed on the spot, but the clan leader of Lucia’s family and Wizard Zoran were not among them.”
“I see.”
Link was not surprised.
The moment he saw the mixed corps of Lucia’s family in the rear camp of the desolate world, he knew that the alleged defection of Lucia’s family was not really a defection.
The three parties involved in this incident all wanted something. The college has its demands; Mesopotamia University had its desires; Lucia’s Family, having paid such a huge price clearly had great expectations.
Now that what the three parties wanted had been achieved, Lucia’s Family would naturally return to the college.
Whether they would continue to exist under the name Lucia, or develop under a new alias was possible.
Before coming to study at the college headquarters, Link had tentatively talked to Dean Frist who had warned him.
Therefore, Link had temporarily put the idea of revenge against Lucia’s Family and Zoran Archie.
Unless there was a turning point in the situation and the college provided Link with an opportunity.
It was like Zoran Archie and Lucia’s Family who, under Dean Frist’s warning, endured the humiliation and reconciled with Link and then Wizard Cody and Sage Palo;
And like Zoran Archie attacking Link boldly when he got the arrangement from Lady Lisandra.
Unfortunately, Zoran did not seize the opportunity and did not manage to kill the thorny issues that lay before him.
Link decided to learn from this lesson and once he got the opportunity, he would surely succeed in one hit and kill Zoran Archie.
Seeing Link’s lack of interest, Tiffany immediately understood that there must be pressure and restrictions from the college, which caused Link to discard the idea of revenge.
Now, he even couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to Lucia’s Family.
She didn’t continue on this topic but asked, “Shall we work as before for this mission?”
“Yes.”
Link nodded in agreement, then asked to relieve his confusion, “Why are you aligning yourself so actively with what?”
The Colonna Family had a Level Five Sage and three Fourth Level Sages, which were stronger than the Lionel Family.
As long as they could help the Level Five Sage to advance, the Colonna family would naturally be able to settle at the college headquarters.
This was the right way, there was absolutely no need to try and latch onto Sandra like Lanny.
In the end, Sandra was backed by Lady Lisandra, not a power faction like Dean Frist!
Even for better development, the Colonna Family didn’t have to do this.
Tiffany knew where Link’s doubt lay. After a moment of silence, she sighed deeply, “It’s not for the family, it’s for myself.”
Everyone has their own troubled book to read.
None of the four sages of the Colonna family were witches!
Even in the decision-making layer of the Colonna Family, there was not a single woman!
What if Tiffany had the best qualifications, the most diligent, and the most hardworking?
After completing her advanced studies and graduating from the Senior Division, the family did not take Tiffany’s whereabouts seriously.
