“Alrighty.”

There was a slight change in Elise’s demeanor at this moment. She blinked her left eye, her tone playful and sweet as she responded.

As soon as her words fell, she spent some time adding and deleting on her wristwatch, finally issuing a public announcement:

“Pure Blood Will, you bastards, prepare to die.”

Link looked at the second announcement hanging high on the public channel. Its provocative content and the ID of the sender left him speechless.

This is your idea of bragging?

It’s clearly a provocation!

Shaking his head, uncertain of Elise’s thought process, Link decided not to fret over it and started packing up the campsite to set off.

It was the same routine as always.

The Flying Sphere and Bionic Eagle scoured the sky, with four scouting puppets on guard around them.

After a day for adjustment, the more than a thousand wizard apprentices that had entered this Small World had basically found their own rhythm, and those who hadn’t been eliminated had acclimated well.

Along the way, they spent over three hours and even when they brushed shoulders with a group of people from the North District – something they could not avoid – conflict did not erupt.

Both sides, having discovered each other’s whereabouts through their reconnaissance magic tools, actually tried to avoid each other.

But they were situated in a gorge with only one path and it was impossible to avoid each other.

So, they walked side by side through the canyon, a stretch of the journey that was not long but certainly nerve-wracking.

Throughout it all, Elise was itching for a fight, wanting to engage in a hearty battle to relieve the monotony of the journey.

When they finally exited the canyon and set out on their separate paths, Elise was deflated.

Lifeless.

Link clearly saw the look of admiration in the eyes of the leader of the other group.

It was as if he wanted to say, ‘Buddy, you can handle this mad woman, you’re awesome!’

Link didn’t bother with these, he had to track the time.

It was time again to use the wristwatch’s once-a-day location sharing feature.

No hesitations.

He immediately sent a location request to Jasmine.

Jasmine seemed to be waiting too, she agreed instantly.

Two arrow lights appeared on the wristwatch screen.

They blinked a few times, then vanished.

Link had taken note of the direction and estimated the distance.

Based on the day’s pace, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they would need to walk for about three more hours.

“Boss, I spotted Buck, Ezio, and Linn.”

Dalton, who was temporarily in charge of reconnaissance, suddenly reported.

“Where are they?”

While Link was composing a message to Jasmine, he asked.

“At three o’clock, very close, we can catch up to them in five minutes.”

Dalton continued his report

“Okay, we’ll go find them first.”

Link confirmed that Jasmine was in the three-thirty direction, which was on the way.

So why not pick up Buck and the others on the way?

“There are four more people with Buck, urn…”

Dalton then added, “Lanny Taylor, Isko Alex are there too.”

Link sent the message to Jasmine, turned his head, and looked at the real-time reconnaissance image projected.

Seven people in a line, divided into two groups, three on the left, four on the right.

The two groups were barely assembled together, not only were they not in sync, they couldn’t even get along.

“Get Buck and his group over here.”

Link made a decision.

Five potential companions that Link had been observing for several months, how could he hand them over to Lanny Taylor?

Plus, Link himself was planning to assemble a team.

Whether to complete the main task or deal with the “Pure Blood Will”, it is always better to have a team.

There’s strength in numbers.
