Chapter 529: Chapter 144: Yearning to Sing_3
Blinking her eyes to confirm that it was indeed Jasmine appearing before her, she exclaimed loudly, “Big sister!”
“Hmm, it’s me.”
Jasmine pressed her palm down, signaling for Betty to remain calm and not to be overexcited, then asked, “How have you been recently? Has anything happened? How is Link?”
Three questions in a row, but the focus was on the last one.
Of course, Betty knew what her big sister was most concerned about. She was at a loss.
She didn’t know how to break the bad news about the big boss to her big sister.
“Don’t worry, I’m mentally prepared. Just say it.”
Seeing Betty’s expression, Jasmine knew that her premonition before entering the Cultivation Secret Realm had come true.
“Hmm.”
Betty nodded and said, “The boss was attacked by someone suspected to be Zoran Archie. Allegedly, he took six blasts from the Star-annihilating Cannon. No one knows where he went into hiding during this period, and there’s no news about him now. However, the academy has clearly stated that the boss is not in any danger and is very safe now.”
“Ambushed?”
A few questions arose in Jasmine’s mind.
She knew how sharp Link’s intuition and premonitions were and how sensitive he could be to danger.
To plan an ambush on Link, it didn’t matter whether Zoran Archie had ascended to Sage status.
Even if Zoran had become a Sage, it wouldn’t be possible to make Link stand foolishly and take six blasts from the Star-annihilating Cannon.
Combining her own unexplained premonition with some things that Link had told her before, Jasmine instinctively felt that this was a trap.
And Link, whether he wanted to or not, had fallen into the trap and become a chess piece in the manipulator’s game.
“Tell me the process in detail.”
Following Jasmine’s orders, Betty immediately detailed the process of the assault on Link she had collected through various channels from “Anything Goes.”
After she finished, Jasmine latched onto another blind spot: “You’re saying that up till now, no one knows why Link suddenly left the Ravensmouth Special Area, right?”
“Yes.”
Betty nodded in affirmation.
“Understood.”
Jasmine seemed thoughtful, though she didn’t tell Betty the result of her thoughts. Instead, she ordered, “Inform everyone that I’m back. We’ll have a meeting at 2 in the afternoon.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After dropping these words, Jasmine left the “Anything Goes” base, driving her own First Ring Magic Tool-grade hovercraft towards Ravensmouth City.
Once back at Link’s North District Villa, Jasmine changed clothes, freshened up, and brewed a cup of green tea, which Link loved and she disliked, and took time to savor it.
The tea was clear and its aroma fresh. It was non-astringent, with an initial hint of bitterness which later yielded to a sweet aftertaste.
After finishing the green tea, Jasmine took out her portable smart device and sent a meeting request to Wizard Serene. She wanted to sit down and chat.
Wizard Serene agreed quickly, waiting for Jasmine to arrive at her villa.
Jasmine got up and drove to Wizard Serene’s villa, which wasn’t far away.
“Hmm…”
When Wizard Serene saw Jasmine, she noticed the change in Jasmine’s aura. She pondered for a moment before asking, “Did you switch cultivation paths?”
Elemental Wizards, Body-refining wizards, True Spirit Wizards, Intelligence Mechanism Wizards, and Beast Controlling Wizards all had their own characteristics.
It was relatively easy to tell them apart from their outward appearance, aura, and temperament.
The aura that Jasmine was giving off was completely different from before, and didn’t fit the characteristics of an Elemental Wizard.
Wizard Serene asked this question because of this.
“Yes, out of necessity, I had to change my cultivation path.”
Without going into detail about the hardships she endured in the Cultivation Secret Realm and the opportunities she gained, Jasmine directly summoned her Companion Spiritual Beast, God Devouring Worm, which resembled a silkworm baby, and presented it to Wizard Serene.
“A God Devouring Worm?”
Seeing the Silkworm Baby, Wizard Serene recognized it and was immediately surprised, “How did you get it?”
With a melancholic response, Jasmine said, “According to the information I received when I changed my cultivation path, the ‘Chatterbone Worm’ is a degenerated form of the ‘God Devouring Worm,’ devolving itself in order to survive.”
Wizard Serene was shocked at the news.
When she had obtained the “Chatterbone Worm”, she had consulted a lot of material and had not found any relevant records at all.
The tests she conducted didn’t reveal any connection between the “Chatterbone Worm” and the “God Devouring Worm”.
It could only be said that, as the wisdom crystallization of the once royal clan of the Insect World and a weapon for battling the Gods of the World of God, the “God Devouring Worm”, known as the natural enemy of the Gods in the World of God, had its own extraordinary attributes.
After the Supreme Council of the Wizard World decided that the “God Devouring Worm” should not be promoted on a large scale, they sealed up the relevant information.
Those who don’t have the appropriate identity, ranking, or level naturally won’t be able to access the information.
“I’m glad it didn’t cause any harm, otherwise, I think Link would have resented me,” said Wizard Serene, relieved.
Taking advantage, Jasmine asked, “So, are we just going to let Link’s matter go?”
Clearly, Jasmine did not accept the academy’s handling of the matter. She was dissatisfied.
