Chapter 1824 - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1824: 507 Planet Defense War and Summer Night’s Superpower Chapter 1824: 507 Planet Defense War and Summer Night’s Superpower … Matthew was surprised at Link’s arrival. Among the four Heavenly Mages of the Alliance, Matthew had some connections with Isabelle and Soria, but he was relatively unfamiliar with Link and Nameless. He knew only that this Heavenly Mage had a fiery temperament and aggressive methods. Within the higher echelons of the Alliance, Link was an even more vehement human supremacist than Isabelle. He was also one of the Heavenly Mages who had contributed the most to the Alliance or humanity— As the first to leave the material world and go to the astral world to protect the Intelligence Lock. Link had devoted nearly all of his prime years to Aindor. As far as Matthew knew, Link was also the one whom the gods of the Heavenly Palace despised the most. After all, it was he who had single-handedly thwarted the gods’ Lock Plan head-on. And during the long years in the astral world, Link was constantly faced with assassinations and attrition from astral creatures and gods. His stance had never changed. From this perspective, Link was also a very rare and admirable spellcaster. In Matthew’s view, This didn’t conflict with Link’s attempt to obtain the Golden Ring either. Everyone has their stance, and everyone weighs the pros and cons to make the decision that best suits their interests or those of their group. Especially from the perspective of a Heavenly Mage, the world they see is already different from that of ordinary people. Matthew did not hold any undue negative impressions of Link because of potential conflicts in the past. Just as he wouldn’t overly blame Isabelle for that shot from the Singularity Cannon. Perhaps this is the world of adults. As long as one can endure, everything must move forward. In his thoughts, Matthew swiftly approached Link. It was visible, The Heavenly Mage was in a good mood, always wearing a smile. As Matthew approached, he heard Link chatting with Alistair: “What does it feel like to grow as big as you?” Alistair responded gently, “Nothing special.” “At first, you might feel smug about your own size, but with time, it becomes normal.” “Besides, from the perspective of the vast universe, there’s not much difference between us and ants.” Link shook his head, “You’re too modest.” “Humanity hasn’t yet had the chance to ascend, let alone ants.” “And yet, you can use the universe as your breeding ground, just waiting for a gust of wind to complete transcendence.” Alistair answered, “That’s what everyone says.” “My inheritance records say the same.” “But frankly, I’m still hesitant about whether to leave—” “To put it inelegantly, pigs in a pen also don’t know that the day they leave the cage is the day they die.” “I crave the outside universe.” “But I’m also filled with fear.” Link mused, “At least you have a choice.” “To shine brightly or extinguish in endless solitude, everything depends on you.” Alistair honestly said, “Yes.” “So, I always think I’m very fortunate.” Link smiled. Then he turned to greet Matthew. At that moment, The ram-horned black cat and the Synchronized Mechanism once again appeared before Matthew. The general’s voice sounded full of suppression and anger, “Does the spellcaster from the Seven Saint Alliance intend to extend his reach out here?” Glasia was more direct, “Link, are you backing this kid up?” Link responded calmly, “I came to see my old subordinates, is there a problem?” With these words, Alexander and the other members of the Black Gold Unit felt a warmth in their eyes. The spellcasters looked up at Link’s figure, memories surfacing in their minds— Before Link had been forced to suppress the Intelligence Lock, he had personally trained this Black Gold Unit, with the purpose of one day counterattacking the outer planes. However, due to the Alliance’s change in foreign policy, the Black Gold Unit had been forced to disband. Alexander and the others had transformed into wardens and jailers of Black Suo Mount. Although their circumstances had changed, their spirit of revenge remained deeply buried in their hearts. The Black Gold Unit has since become a somewhat famous expeditionary force in purgatory and the astral world. Under these circumstances, what Alexander and the others probably desired most was recognition from their former superior. Link’s words, indicated that he not only cared about his former subordinates but also approved of their current actions. This was undoubtedly a great comfort to Alexander, who had also suffered much in the astral world. “Lord Link!” “Lord Link!” The former members of the Black Gold Unit rushed forward. They surrounded Link, expressing their nostalgia and admiration with restrained gazes and simple words. Link smiled and responded to each, “You’ve done very well.” “I’ve always said if you want those youngsters to respect you, you have to hit them hard.” “My failure to fulfill my promises was my fault, but you achieved this, and this is your glory.” “I’m proud of you.” Link’s words not only stirred the members of the Black Gold Unit, but also left Storluk Industries and Barthor Purgatory trembling. The general’s voice now carried a hint of chill, “You promised not to interfere with places outside the material world…” His words were ruthlessly interrupted by Link, “That was Isabelle’s promise.”
