Link didn’t act rashly.

Although the North District apprentice on the small mound was surrounded by a “wolf pack,” and looked to be in a dire situation,

according to Link’s observations, that wasn’t truly the case. The North District apprentice was very safe.

She had the leisure to scream and holler, and had even discerned Link’s presence from a distance using witchcraft or a magic tool which Link himself hadn’t noticed.

Could any ordinary person achieve this?

After some contemplation, Link raised his right hand and gently tapped the bone-conducting earpiece hanging on his left ear.

He activated the audio playback function of the reconnaissance puppet and shouted, “It’s a competition between the two districts, South and North are opponents. Please forgive my caution. If you do not reveal your identity, I cannot take any risky actions.”

The North District female apprentice did not seem startled by the voice that suddenly came from above in the front, she naturally accepted this.

Obviously, she was a wealthy character who had surely come across this kind of reconnaissance puppet at the First Ring wizard level, and knew, or had used, these functions.

The North District female apprentice shouted, “My name is Elise Clark. My sister is friends with Serene Wizard, I heard about you from Serene Wizard, I know a lot about you.”

Link paused for a moment after hearing this.

If what this North District female apprentice, who claimed to be Elise Clark, was saying was true, he couldn’t just simply leave.

Serene Wizard was undeniably kind to Link, in every aspect she was very good, and deserved Link’s respect.

Not only did she instruct Link in numerous core knowledge points of Potion Study and Alchemy Pharmacy, she also gave him the opportunity to practice the pretreatment, precision processing, and dosage packing of plants and herbal medicines, as well as the chance to observe potion refining.

She provided great assistance for Link to independently complete potion refining.

Besides, she generously handed out a billion points as a reward!

This reward of a billion points was terrifically helpful to Link, it helped his strength skyrocket.

When the sister of Serene Wizard’s friend was in trouble, it was only right for Link to extend a helping hand.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to meet Serene Wizard again in the future.

“How can you prove it?”

Of course, Linkwouldn’t readily believe all that Elise Clark had said, so he asked, demanding proof.

“What?”

Elise Clark was slightly taken aback.

Am I supposed to prove my identity?

Or should I prove that I really do have a sister who is friends with Serene Wizard?

Quickly regaining her composure, Elise Clark, with a strange feeling, revealed a secret, “Lokan Wizard dislocated your right shoulder, but you didn’t tell anyone.”

This sentence immediately made Link believe more than half of what Elise Clark had said about her identity.

Other than the two parties involved, Lokan Wizard and Link, Serene Wizard was the only one who could know about this.

Serene Wizard mentioning it to her close friend as a light-hearted discussion was understandable.

After all, when Serene Wizard asked whether Lokan Wizard had been troubling him, Link had chosen to be stubborn.

With several thoughts flashing through his mind, Link still did not act rashly, he continued to ask, “How can I help you?”

At the question, Elise Clark was momentarily at a loss for words.

Should she ask Link to help drive the “wolves” away, or ask him to help her kill these “wolves”?

By now she was beginning to realise, having shown an ability to detect Link’s whereabouts early on, how could she possibly be trapped by these “wolves”?

Even if she was trapped, could she not handle these “wolves”?

That’s almost impossible!

So, why was she waiting on this small mound for Link’s assistance?

Of course, she wanted to get to know the legendary Friend of Witches and establish a connection.

Didn’t the “forum” once say that Link Grande was a “greenhorn alchemist” for a while?

Elise Clark recalled her beautiful face that she had seen in the mirror before she left home this morning.

She looked down at her very conspicuous righteousness.

Yet, she had failed to incite Link to play the hero and save the damsel.

How absurd!

Elise Clark suddenly began to doubt the rumors from the “forum,” suspecting that they were slanders instead of the truth.

Besides, who on earth knew, was Link Grande so suspicious?

Was he sick?

Fine, Elise Clark instinctively ignored the problem that her entrance was too strange.

Anyone who was a bit vigilant would doubt her ulterior motives.

Elise Clark scratched her head, suddenly unsure how to reply.

She simply stopped pretending, and with a quick tap of her feet, she soared into midair.

The “wolf pack” that had tightly surrounded the small mound watched their prey fly off and, unable to help it, let out a series of howls.

Elise Clark couldn’t be bothered to attack the “wolf pack.” She directed her flight toward Link.

Link recalled the two puppets that were close to him for scouting. They accompanied him throughout the flight, monitoring Elise Clark’s movements. “Why are you like this?”

Elise Clark, once she touched down, when she saw Link with all his defenses up, always prepared to counterattack, she was speechless, she grumbled with a pout,

“I, a delicate, beautiful girl, asked for your help, yet you could callously choose to take a detour. T hen when I stopped you, you interrogated me relentlessly. Was it so difficult for you to help me drive those beasts away?”

Her rebuke carried all the essence of martial arts.

Intimidated by her aura, Link quietly retreated two steps to maintain distance, and asked, “Miss Clark, can I ask what exactly you are trying to do?”

By this point, if Link still didn’t realise that he had been found out long ago by her, he might as well be a block of tofu crushing himself to death.

She was so calculating, surely she had a purpose.

“Call me Elise.”

Elise Clark looked up at the sky for a moment, then beckoned. A bionic eagle came down and perched on her shoulder.

Clearly, this bionic eagle, which was obviously much finer than the reconnaissance puppet, had discovered Link’s whereabouts when he was completely unaware.

She adopted an open manner, saying, “I mean you no harm, I just wanted to meet you and maybe form a group.”

“Why?”

Link asked directly, “I don’t think that there’s anything special about me.”

“Gosh, why are you so annoyingly talkative?”

Elise Clark lost her patience, stomped her foot, and complained, “Whether we form a team or not, it’s a simple statement. Why do you keep asking questions?”

Looks like she was over-pampered at home.

She did whatever she felt like doing, but would become irritated, angry, and throw temper tantrums when things didn’ t go her way.

Link wasn’t in the mood to serve her and answered, “We don’t know anything about each other. It’s better not to form a team.”

“Hmph! If you don’t want to team up, then don’t! Why say all that?”

Elise Clark twisted her mouth, sounding displeased, “We’ll see.”

Leaving behind these words, Elise Clark turned and stormed off.

The Bionic Eagle perched on her shoulder took off and quickly flew to heights that the Reconnaissance puppets could not reach.

Link tracked the flight path of the Bionic Eagle with his eyes, feeling both envious and puzzled.

Envious of the powerful capabilities of the Bionic Eagle.

His confusion lay in the fact that academy rules strictly stipulated that all equipment of those participating in the two district competition should be purchased with the Magic Stones they earned themselves.

He wondered how this young lady had managed to earn enough Magic Stones to buy this Bionic Eagle, which was almost at the ceiling level of a First Ring Magic Tool.

Could it be that it was easy for the apprentices in the North District to earn Magic Stones?

Until Elise Clark was out of sight, Link resumed his march forward.

He adjusted the locations of the Four Scouting Puppets,

to patrol back and forth within a circular area with a 500-meter radius, using himself as the center.

Since the Bionic Eagle surveyed from the sky, where it was hard to detect, he simply chose not to defend against it.

It was easier to just keep an eye on Elise Clark.

If Elise Clark appeared in this circular area, Link would adjust his direction of movement.

This strategy was actually working.

For some reason, Elise Clark seemed to be fixated on Link and lingered around him, hoping to get a chance to form a team with him.

Link spotted her figure twice and adjusted his course to avoid her.

After noticing from the Bionic Eagle’s viewpoint that Link had deliberately changed his path twice to avoid her, she started to get annoyed.

She had never had things not go her way like this.

She then flew once again and blocked Link’s path.

“What do you mean by this?”

Elise Clark asked angrily.

“I mean nothing.”

“Making sure he was on guard, Link replied, “What do you mean? Be clear about it. Then we can go our separate ways.”

Elise Clark was humored and frustrated at the idea of him despising her.

She pointed at Link, her index finger trembling for a while but managed to say nothing.

In her extreme anger, Elise Clark realized she was being irrational again.

After taking several deep breaths, her sense of righteousness swelled, and Elise Clark forced herself not to be so impulsive and irritable.

She thought rationally.

Elise remembered her sister frequently criticizing her for being self-centered and spoiled by her family, living wilful and petulant days.

Whenever she encounters people with strong principles, who do not easily bow to her will, she must control her temper.

Or else, small conflicts and disagreements wouldn’t matter much.

But if they developed into serious disputes, then it might be a real problem.

If anything unspeakable happened, no matter how big her family’s influence was, other than vengeance, they could not do anything else.

Rethinking the previous circumstances, a more reasonable Elise Clark started blushing.

It seemed, the reason why things ended up in a stalemate was due to her wilfulness.

A moment later, she stammered out, “Sorry, Link Grande. There’s something wrong with my personality and I often act without thinking. If I offended you earlier, I apologize and hope you can forgive me.”

She paused, then added, “I won’t bother you anymore. We each go our own way.”

Hearing that, Elise Clark tapped her boots together to fly off.

“Wait a minute.”

Link interjected just in time to stop her.

“What is it?”

Elise Clark ceased her movement, questioning in doubt.

“If you really want to team up with me, I can agree. But I have a few conditions that I hope you’ll listen to first.”

Link pondered for a while and felt that if Elise Clark hadn’t apologized and left just like that, it wouldn’t matter much.

But since Elise Clark had openly admitted her mistakes and apologized,

then Link must have something to express.

Unless he didn’t want to maintain a relatively good relationship with Serene Wizard.

“What conditions?”

Taking an unexpected turn, Elise Clark was surprised and somewhat delighted.

“Very simple: first, you can’t cause conflict with anyone; second, you can’t take reckless actions when things are unclear,” Link said.

“No problem.”

Elise Clark initially thought Link would make some strict conditions, but it turned out to be two basic principles.

What was there to hesitate about? She promptly agreed.

“Good. From now on, we’re temporary teammates.”

Link reached out his right hand expressing his friendliness, and formally introduced himself, “I am Link Grande. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Elise Clark immediately shook Link’s hand and followed his lead introducing herself, “I’m Elise Clark. I’m glad to be on your team.”

Their hands, one big and one small, briefly touched each other.

A temporary two-person team was formed.

But no one knew how long it would last.
