Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 503: Chapter 137: Spy Within a Spy? _1

“How so?”

Without missing a beat, the Serene Wizard turned her head, voicing her question.

All eyes in the conference room fell upon Wizard Cody.

The atmosphere subtly became a bit more complex.

Everyone waited expectantly, wondering what kind of reasoning this man, once the leader of both Wizard Cody’s line and Sage Palo’s line, would put forth.

Anxiety, anticipation, and solemnity were the predominant feelings that swirled in their minds.

It was a defining moment – a watershed in the relations between Wizard Cody’s line and Sage Palo’s line, lines which were once so profoundly intertwined with each other.

If Wizard Cody’s upcoming speech opposed the common consensus for the sake of opposition alone, the situation would become incredibly complicated.

Link recalled how Tiffany had cautioned him the night before to be mindful of Wizard Cody’s actions.

With everyone’s attention on him, Wizard Cody casually said, “I suggest that we should prepare both types of supplies. There’s no point in dividing houses at this moment. All the magic stones and materials under my command could be used here first.”

Serene did not leap for joy at Wizard Cody’s expression of intent.

She asked gravely, “What about your army?”

“Stand down,” Wizard Cody replied, leaning back lazily, “In any case, after my promotion, the academy will assign me a new legion. Worst case scenario, I emulate Palo, command a Miscellaneous Legion, and then slowly reorganize and train them.”

Taking a pause, Wizard Cody stressed, “He reduced the funding for the army in exchange for my recovery, can’t I reciprocate?”

The conference attendees let out a collective sigh after hearing Wizard Cody’s words.

As long as he wasn’t trying to exploit the situation to sever ties or clear the air, it was good enough for them.

After the relief, many felt that their previous worries were purely absurd.

Wizard Cody wasn’t a fool; He wouldn’t make such a stupid decision before the Sage Palo army was in real danger.

Many people were making such excuses, unwilling to confront their baseless worries.

Link had a hunch that Wizard Cody’s opposition to solely preparing interstellar warfare magic tools and supplies was not as simple as it seemed, but he had no evidence.

So he kept it to himself for the time being and decided to investigate later during his free time.

Wizard Serene took to heart Wizard Cody’s reasoning and gratefully said, “Thank you, Cody.”

“Anytime,”

Wizard Cody motioned for Serene not to be formal with him, and not to treat him as an outsider.

The conference then pivoted towards the procurement of both types of supplies.

Link listened intently, never joining in.

In the field of procurement, whether it is network or channels, Link fell short.

The conference didn’t drag on for long.

From start to finish, it lasted no more than half an hour. It ended swiftly, with decisions being implemented immediately.

Without lingering, Wizard Cody left as soon as the conference ended.

At Serene’s behest, Link didn’t leave immediately, choosing to stay behind.

“Cody has changed,”

In the living room, the Serene Wizard ordered the AI butler to make a cup of freshly brewed green tea for Link. Holding her favorite milk tea that was concocted later based on her preference, she sighed deeply.

Link didn’t respond, he just sipped his tea.

It didn’t bother the Serene Wizard though. Instead, she asked, “Didn’t you say that Jasmine was going to come and help me? Where is she?”

“She was in good shape so I sent her to the Cultivation Secret Realm.”

Link didn’t tell the whole truth, but he didn’t lie either.

Jasmine was indeed doing well. Her knowledge was in top-notch condition, she only lacked spiritual power and magic power, as well as combat experience with first-level wizards.

The official wizard level secret realm of cultivation could quickly increase spiritual power and magic power, as well as simulate battles to elevate experience.

“You really are generous,” the Serene Wizard sighed enviously.

This was a top-tier treatment that she had never enjoyed before.

“She helped me a lot. It’s only normal to pay her back.”

Link explained the reason he had allowed Jasmine to use the official wizard level secret realm of cultivation, but he didn’t mention that he didn’t need to enter the Cultivation Secret Realm any longer.

“Forget it, I won’t meddle in your affairs.”

Serene waved it off, took a sip of her milk tea, and steered the conversation back, “What do you think of the people who came today? Especially Cody. Don’t hold back, just say what you’re thinking.”

“Do you want the truth?”

Link pondered for a moment, testing her sincerity.

“Of course, the truth.”

Serene glared at Link.

For some reason, under her anxious expression, her charm did not diminish, but instead became increasingly alluring.

Luckily, the person sitting opposite her was a gentleman, capable of firmly restraining his mind with the “Mind Closure Technique”, unlike others who would surrender at her feet.

Link solemnly declared, “The simple truth is that we won’t be able to save Sage Palo with their help.”

“Sigh…”

Serene let out a long sigh.

That was a fact she was already aware of.

Her reliable men were already in the legion.

Even if Wizard Cody was truly willing to provide substantial support, he wouldn’t be able to do much due to him being in his metamorphosis period.

“The academy…” Her words trailed off, and she did not finish what she was saying.

Link didn’t need to hear the rest, the general sense of what Serene wanted to express was pretty clear to him.

She was simply lamenting that the academy did not take the situation of the Sage Palo army being besieged by the Abyss demons seriously.
