Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique-Chapter 661 - 186 Side Dish_1

Chapter 661: Chapter 186 Side Dish_1

Life is like a chess game.

Some people play chess, others are chess pieces.

The pieces move at the will of the player, advancing, retreating, attacking, scarcely able to control their own actions.

Link knew that this mission, this situation, was a chess game.

He and the other 11 wizards were one or more chess pieces, already caught in the game.

What was unique about this chess game was that these chess pieces had a relatively higher degree of freedom.

...

Given this high degree of freedom, as a wizard with great power, Link and his 11 teammates naturally sought to control the situation, rather than be controlled by it.

Struggling for control of the interstellar battleship and changing the navigation coordinates was one attempt to control the situation.

Unfortunately, even if they wanted to elevate their thinking and break free from limitations, they were still constrained by the opaque fog of information, making it difficult to quickly clarify the development and direction of the situation.

Without a clear understanding of the development and direction of the situation, their actions would naturally be restricted.

They feared making a mistake and not only failing to complete the mission assigned by the college, but also putting themselves at risk.

Thus, early stage reconnaissance, situation analysis, tactical planning, and strategic execution were all especially important.

For example, at that moment, Link, accompanied by Franda, was using his high mobility and stealth capabilities to approach and observe the situation.

Of course, as the captain, Link couldn’t possibly completely abandon his team and act alone the entire time.

If he did that, he would just become a lone wolf, what’s the point of promoting “do whatever you want”?

After discovering that both the Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance, two top-tier organizations in the Mitchell District, had each only dispatched one interstellar battleship, Link did not act recklessly.

Leaving Franda to continue scouting the surrounding star regions, Link headed back towards the meteoroid belt where his team was hidden.

He planned to regroup with his teammates, explain the situation, and decide on an action plan.

During his return journey, Link didn’t idle away, instead pondering the various information related to the mission.

As the information gradually filled in, the fog surrounding the mission slowly lifted.

Link could also try to guess the deep-seated implications of the mission.

The mission details given by the college were to ambush an Outlander Colonization Team from Shadow City. The objective was to plunder supplies, and the requirement was not to kill.

The keywords were triggered: Shadow City, Outlander Colonization, and Supplies.

Considering a widely circulated and credible news that was released not long ago.

It said that Shadow City had discovered a special planet that possibly concealed some inheritances of the Nostrodamus Holy Sect and had dispatched a team to excavate it.

It wasn’t difficult to understand, the team that Ravensmouth College asked Link and his team to ambush was the team sent by Shadow City to that special planet to dig up lost traditions.

What Link and his team were supposed to seize were indeed some inheritances of the Nostrodamus Holy Sect.

This kind of dispute involving the inheritance of lost traditions within the Wizard World, the Supreme Council had given clear instructions for more than a thousand years ago, limiting the intensity of conflicts.

Various wizard organizations could vie for inheritance, but they had to follow the principle of equal scale.

In other words, the size of the colonization team dispatched by the organization that discovered the inheritance determined the size of the team that could try to seize the inheritance.

The numbers, grades, and configurations were not exactly the same, but the difference was minimal.

Moreover, during the process of looting, it was best to have limited verbal fights, and it was not allowed to have extreme incidents of bloodshed.

Otherwise, the wizard organization that first caused casualties would face severe penalties from the Supreme Council.

Whether or not the looted inheritance could be kept depended on the decision of the Supreme Council.

The original intention of this directive by the Supreme Council was undoubtedly very good.

To some extent, it protected the enthusiasm of various organizations in excavating lost technology, knowledge, and tradition.

Unfortunately, for every policy from the Supreme Council, there were countermeasures from below.

The wizard organizations quickly formed a good tradition of luring other organizations to kill each other while they sat back and reaped the benefits.

Lady Lisandra personally reminded Sage Fletcher Domingo, who was escorting the ambush team in secret, to be prepared for contingencies and not to get ahead of himself because of this.

It wasn’t that she was idle and specifically targeted Link Grande, trying to dig a hole for him.

It was just something handy and convenient for her.

Whether it could be accomplished or not didn’t matter.

Based on a multitude of information, Link found this explicit instruction from the Supreme Council in a remote corner of his memory, which resolved some of his doubts about this mission.

Then, he had a sarcastic remark stuck in his throat that he really wanted to voice out loud.

The so-called explicit instruction was indeed very explicit for just a brief period after it was issued.

Not long afterward, this directive gradually faded from mainstream vision and became hardly noticeable.

Even in historical records, it was hidden away in a remote corner, very unnoticeable.

If one hadn’t studied the history of the Wizard World deeply, especially the decrees issued by the Supreme Council over the years, not many wizards would know this.

It seemed as if numerous wizard organizations had contributed to this state of affairs.

Upon careful reflection, the reason was not hard to guess, and it was quite reasonable too.

Even with teams of the same scale, small organizations were still not on par with medium-sized ones, medium-sized ones were not on par with large ones, and large ones were not on par with the top-tier ones.

Therefore, since the grand battle with the World of God, the lost technology, knowledge, and traditions that the Wizard World had gradually regained were basically taken by the large or top-tier wizard organizations.

The materials and documents on the Intelligence Mechanism Wizards, the True Spirit Wizards, the Body-refining Wizards, and Beast Controlling Wizards stored at Ravensmouth College, were acquired through purchase, exchange, independent research, and also through the excavation and seizure of lost traditions.
