Chapter 339: Where does the disturbance of 82 come from, where does it return to _1
This would be akin to a real-life snake swallowing an elephant.
What’s unique is that the “seed”, this snake, has a large capacity but weak digestion.
While it won’t suffer from indigestion,
it will take a very, very long time to fully devour and absorb the soul of the level 4 extraordinary life form, the Fairy King.
Neither Link nor Franda have the ability to accelerate this process.
This means that for some time to come, Franda, as the “Spirit” of the “seed”, will have no home.
Within the Cultivation Secret Realm, through the unknown methods of unknown entities, Franda’s life form has become incredibly unique.
In the “seed” and in the real world, she is a real, fully alive being.
She can also transform from solid to ethereal, living in Link’s Sea of Consciousness.
Link’s current situation does not permit him to summon Franda and keep her by his side.
So, Franda will have to reside in Link’s Sea of Consciousness for quite some time.
With the permissions granted by Link, Franda can move the existing “structures” within Link’s Sea of Consciousness without touching the contents.
She can also create new “structures” that are appearance-only, using them as her dwelling place.
“Master, can I build a small house?”
Before hastily building, Franda opted to seek Link’s opinion first.
“Yes, you can build it next to the library.”
Link had no reason to refuse.
Having already fed Franda, he could not make her endure homelessness.
If he did, he would truly become a heartless capitalist.
“Thank you, Master. You’re so wonderful.”
Franda’s face blossomed into a big, sweet smile as she cheered excitedly.
Soon after, she split her attention. While keeping an eye on the Fairy King’s soul within the “seed” and happily building and tidying up “structures”, she hummed a little tune.
Seeing this, Link couldn’t help but laugh.
Certainly, only by being carefree can one feel true happiness.
He just hoped that Franda was genuinely worry-free.
And not hiding her emotions under a veneer of nonchalance.
Even now, Link couldn’t forget Franda’s reluctance and pleading towards the God Slayer that day.
He couldn’t forget Franda’s bitter tears after momentarily reuniting with her father, then losing him again.
After the initial stages, the pain of losing a loved one becomes like water.
Continuous and nuanced, silent when small, roaring when great.
Link hoped that Franda wouldn’t suddenly tear up at the drop of a hat someday – that feeling is unbearable.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, seeing that both his Sea of Consciousness and the “seed” are fine, Link stopped worrying too much.
He returned his consciousness to the real world.
After a period of patient waiting, the results of the Fairy King’s blood test were now ready.
Link picked up the results, reading and comparing them with care.
The detailed report provided more solid evidence for the hypothesis of the Fairy King’s changed physical form, compared to the hasty results obtained previously.
However, this result didn’t really have a significant impact on the current situation faced by the special squad.
It did however provide some hints for Link’s research topic.
Before joining the special squad, Link had two ongoing research topics:
One was to explore the nature of the Fairy’s Inherent Ability;
The other was to perfect enhancement bio-transformations and strengthening plans for the Fairy’s Inherent Ability.
Until now, these two topics still had many unresolved parts, and the results were yet to show.
It should be known that Link’s initial intention for joining the special squad and venturing into enemy territory,
was to gather more material for these two topics, conduct more experiments, and collect more data.
And not to blow up the “Biological Factory”, or hunt down the Fairy King.
We shouldn’t confound the order of importance, right?
With the Fairy King’s soul now ensnared, Link could confidently work on his private interests.
Therefore, after finishing his conversation with Boss Otis, Assad saw a Link who was increasingly obsessed with various biochemical experiments.
“They say one must be mad to live.”
Assad shook his head and sighed, “Your fervor matches well with Elise’s.”
Upon hearing this, Link was taken aback but didn’t know what to say.
After all, the other party was Elise’s future brother-in-law, and had taken good care of him along the way.
Elise Clark, potentially a fellow countrywoman, hadn’t done anything bad to him either, and even offered to support him financially.
There was absolutely no need for him to say something unpleasant.
Unuttered, Link was the master of his words.
But once spoken, he would become a slave to them.
It would possibly lead to unwanted complications, resulting in unpleasantness for everyone.
Swallowing the words that were on the tip of his tongue, giving an embarrassed smile to Assad, Link continued to focus on his experiments.
Assad intentionally moved away a bit, not wanting to disturb Link’s research.
That is, until the support squad arrived to regroup.
Following the directives from the Front Line Command Post, the two squads combined and came under the command of Boss Otis.
The tier 3 wizard from the intelligence bureau, Valerian Boss assisted.
The task was straightforward – to hunt down the fleeing Fairy King.
This showed the Front Line Command Post’s judgement – the current Fairy King did not have the power to stand against the two tier 3 wizards.
Once the two squads combined, they directly began the hunt for the Fairy King under Boss Otis’ leadership.
The initial progress was smooth; they quickly found the Fairy King’s fragmented body.
