Chapter 421: Chapter 109: A Splashy Landing_3

He was using more and more magic stones now.

Training the members of his direct line like “Free to do anything,” required magic stones;

Nurturing “Small World” required lots of resources, but even more magic stones;

He also had to save magic stones for Krypton Gold Draw Cards.

Even so, Link had a feeling he would need to save up more magic stones in the future, to buy more villas for some peace and quiet.

This was during the four months between Elise finishing her internship and Jasmine starting hers.

The two were always together, sometimes being affectionate, sometimes fooling around.

This left Link caught in the middle, giving him a headache!

What was worse, Link felt no romantic feelings for Elise.

He wanted to avoid it clearly but he just couldn’t.

The fact that Elise was always pestering Link didn’t stem from romantic feelings either.

More often, she sought comfort.

In the vast sea of All Heavens and Realms, it was really hard to find even half a kindred spirit.

Those who have been lonely for a long time crave company.

If they find it, they don’t want to let go.

“Small World” absorbed the World Nucle, advancing its third stage of cultivation by a third.

Seeing this, Link believed he should research more potions.

Make other wizards suffer financially to feed “Small World.”

In addition to Jasmine completing the first stage of advanced study and starting her internship, there were also changes in the Brotherhood Group and Social Phobia Group.

They had been promoted to official wizards one after another, coming to the Senior Division in advance.

Another piece of news surprised Link, Lanny Taylor had disappeared.

No one knew where she went, but the academy never announced her death.

Link had asked the Serene Wizard about this, as well as Wizard Cody who was in his Metamorphosis Period.

Both appeared elusive, not answering Link directly.

This made Link secretly worried.

Summer came and went.

Another autumn semester was about to begin.

Link officially finished his advanced study at the Senior Division, rejected invitations to teach at the Academy and to hold a research assistant position, and was ready to concentrate on managing the Grande Potion Shop for some time.

To earn more magic stones.

One day, Link was in the second-floor laboratory of the potion shop, making the final taste determination for the tea drink series.

Suddenly, Christina sent a message saying her water had broken.

Link hurriedly put down his work, driving his “Phantom Coupe” to Christina’s house and notifying the Serene Wizard.

By the time Link picked Christina up and returned to the North District Villa, the Serene Wizard was already prepared for the birth.

When witches give birth, there’s no such thing as a cesarean section, only natural births.

And the process isn’t difficult.

Given a wizard’s physique, it’s almost impossible for complications such as major blood loss to occur.

The only potential issue would be the mother’s brain instinctively gathering more vitality to protect her body during childbirth.

This could neglect the baby’s nourishment, leading to congenital deficiencies.

The Serene Wizard needed to provide enough life force from outside to support the baby that is trying to make its way into the world.

Link, waiting outside the lab, looked rather nervous.

After six months of hard work, the success of the human creation research depended on this moment.

Soon, Link heard a loud cry.

It was the first wail of life, announcing a newborn’s arrival to the world.

After waiting patiently for a while, Christina, with her body cleaned up and holding her wrapped baby, followed the Serene Wizard out of the lab.

As Link peeked inside, he found the baby’s skin wrinkled and hair sparse.

It was a humanoid, as expected.

The only legacy of the Shadow Demon Snake bloodline was those snakelike eyes that resembled Christina’s.

The creation of life was successful!

“It’s good,”

Link said seriously to Christina, “After going back, you must insist on using that method to protect your daughter’s soul.”

Christina nodded, and then bowed to Link and the Serene Wizard in thanks.

A snake-shaped black mist outlined the word.

“Thank you!”

Link accepted the gratitude gracefully, reminding her:

“Don’t stop taking the potion.”
