Chapter 427: Chapter 111: Special Summoning, Familiar Stranger_3
The unfamiliar witch began to speak, introducing herself.
Her tone and attitude were quite amiable, she did not come across as someone who was used to being superior.
Link was mildly surprised at this revelation.
Indeed, the woman in front of him was the great-great-granddaughter of the Great Sage Revo and Great Sage Seuss.
A commander of the Mini-legion!
That she came to meet him in person was truly astonishing.
When did I, Link Grande, become so important?
Although countless thoughts raced through his mind, on the surface he properly responded.
Link did not take advantage of Sandra Diomand’s approachability, instead, he seriously reported back: “Reporting to the commander, Link Grande is ready.”
“There’s no need to be so formal.”
Sandra waved her hand, smiling. “You don’t have to call me Commander, Wizard Diomand or Wizard Sandra would suffice.”
“Yes, Wizard Diomand.”
Link immediately replied.
He wasn’t as formal as before, but still maintained a respectful demeanor.
The disparity in their statuses was clear, he had to act this way as a result.
Sandra seemed accustomed to this as many, like Link, were always prudent and did not dare cross the line because of her personal status. She did not take it to heart.
She continued to speak, “I hope you didn’t take to heart the joke Lanny had with you earlier. Speaking of which, my request for you is closely related to Lanny.”
Pausing, Sandra’s tone became somewhat more serious: “I was curious about what kind of person Link Grande, who surpasses a rare five rank talent like her, could be. I examined your file and indeed found you to be very special. Lanny did not lose unfairly.”
Listening to these words, Link remained silent.
What could he say?
He had nothing to say. It was enough that he listened in silence.
Sandra continued, “I’m putting together a mini legion this time, not led by a Sage-level wizard. The team is quite simple, twelve people. Eight in charge of reconnaissance and battle, two for logistics and medical care, and two for research. Your main duty is to conduct bio-related research.”
Speaking so, Sandra turned and began walking towards a flashy sports car styled transportation vehicle parked below the podium.
As she walked, she continued explaining the details of the mission without interruption.
“The team has been assembled and we’ll rest today. Tomorrow, we depart for our mission to an insect world where strange things are happening. Our principal duty is to investigate the ecological structure of this Insect World and the cause of the abnormality. Your responsibility is figuring out that cause.”
By now, the trio had reached the car.
With one look at the two-seater sports car, Link promptly took out his own Phantom Coupe.
“Nice vehicle.”
Sandra threw a glance at it and blandly complimented it, her tone then switched, “I used to have something similar. Unfortunately, I forgot where I put it. I haven’t driven it in a while.”
Such extravagant words.
If Polo Salossal heard this, he’d probably faint in the bathroom.
When he gave the customized Phantom Coupe to Link, he had been miserably reluctant.
Link was again made painfully aware of the disparities in their stations.
The car sensed Sandra’s approach and automatically opened the scissor style door.
Sandra and Lanny, who had been quiet since their encounter, each took a seat in the driver’s side and the passenger’s side.
The roar of engines broke the silence, and the sports car swiftly sped away.
With his Phantom Coupe, Link kept closely behind.
In a short while, they arrived at a temporarily erected camp.
Only during the drive, did Link leisurely survey the surroundings.
Like other locales, this rear camp was also constructed in a desolate world.
The Wizard World had a tradition of advancing into the Heavens like this.
Establish rear camps, star fleets, forward bases – advancement by degrees
Before disembarking, when he glanced at Lanny Taylor whose relationship with Sandra Diomand was intimate, a question flashed through Link’s mind.
What exactly is Lanny Taylor’s status?
