Chapter 886 -40 Reasons_2
It was clear that Lotson had known all along that Frist wasn’t aware, and had considerately inquired about Frist’s thoughts instead of informing him directly.
After giving it serious thought and realizing the possibility of achieving Saint status was minuscule, Frist nodded, “Please, let me know.”
Unconsciously, Frist had adjusted his posture and terminology when facing Lotson.
He hadn’t directly called him “Saint,” just the difference between “you” and “you.”
Although this detail was minor, it was extremely important.
In dealing with people and matters, posture really was important.
“I won’t tell you the specifics.”
Suddenly, Lotson changed his mind again and said, “I’ll just briefly highlight a few points.”
“Please, go ahead.”
Frist certainly had no objections.
It was still the same old belief that knowing too much wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Lotson said, “First, there are currently five Saints in the Wizard civilization; second, the native continent of the Wizard World is now divided into five major areas: the Central Plains, East Coast, West Coast, South Region, and North Region; third, each major area is subdivided into districts and specialty zones; fourth, each Saint is the peak of an influential wizard sect.”
Pausing momentarily, Lotson’s smile faded, his expression turned serious, and he solemnly asked, “So, can you understand now why I am willing to stand up for Ravensmouth College and face off against that old chap Mitchell directly?”
“I roughly understand, but not completely.”
Frist replied truthfully.
“Hmm?”
Lotson let out a syllable of puzzlement through his nostrils.
Without fully disclosing the details of the Saint rank, Lotson had said all that he could say.
Frist, who could become the principal of Ravensmouth College and under whose leadership the school had grown stronger, was certainly no fool.
The meaning between the lines should have been crystal clear.
So, why was it that he hadn’t completely understood?
Without waiting for Lotson to ask, Frist opened his mouth and said:
“You want to reclaim the position of Saint. Wizard’s Level and strength are one thing, and the necessary sphere of influence is another.
According to what you’ve said, both are essential.
However, I don’t think Ravensmouth College is that important to you.
At least, not important enough to make you face a Great Sage Mitchell, whose life is coming to an end and who will certainly give everything for advancement to Saint, while you are in an incomplete state.”
After a slight pause, Frist intensified his tone and continued, “Therefore, I haven’t completely understood why you are willing to confront Great Sage Mitchell. I believe there must be another reason, and it is likely the primary one.”
“Heh.”
Lotson laughed, “You’re quite lucid. Most people, when faced with a Saint’s attention, even if it’s just verbal, should be excited to the point of losing their rational judgment. Or even if they maintain some rationality, faced with the prospect of high returns, they will ignore the subconscious warnings about risks.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Frist accepted the implied praise in Lotson’s words with equanimity.
Then he fell silent, waiting for Lotson to finish what he had yet to say.
Unconcerned, Lotson spoke the truth, “You guessed right, there is indeed another reason, which is also the main one. As for what it is, all I can tell you is that facing Mitchell directly is the mutual will and benefit of various parties, including the Wizard World Will.”
“Is that so? Then I won’t ask further.”
Frist decisively refrained from inquiring deeper and briskly changed the subject, “What do you need from me and Ravensmouth College?”
“Nothing, not a thing,”
Lotson shook his head, “Just carry on as usual, there’s no need to consider my presence or influence.”
As soon as the words trailed off, Lotson’s figure vanished as suddenly as he had appeared.
This trick was often used by Frist and his sister Lisandra in front of others.
It was also frequently employed by Great Sage Revo and Great Sage Seuss.
Both had ample experience with it.
Therefore, Frist was unruffled by the change.
As soon as Lotson left, Frist continued to ponder the previous issue:
How should the Ravensmouth College Advance Team respond to the threats from Great Sage Mitchell and the Tower of Great Sage Mitchell.
It is better to rely on oneself than to seek the help of others.
Lotson’s willingness to face off against Great Sage Mitchell indeed significantly alleviated Frist’s pressure.
However, the threat from the Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell remained extremely deadly.
A moment’s carelessness could lead to serious consequences.
“The Supreme Council.”
Muttering to himself, Frist ended his consideration and waited for the internal contact from the High Council’s Parallel Universe Office to reach out.
Frist believed that with certain interests tied together, the person in charge would surely contact him.

The only uncertainty was how long he would have to wait.
While Frist began his wait, Link had already finished the urgent tasks at hand with Jasmine.
After a burst of hectic activity, the two finally had a calm moment to communicate with each other.
“When do we leave?”
Jasmine asked softly, holding Link.
“We’ll leave in a bit.”
Link replied in a soft voice while stroking Jasmine’s silky smooth hair.
“Shouldn’t we say something to Sage Palo and the others?”
“Let’s tell them; there’s no need to hide.”
“Should you tell them, or should I? Or should we do it together?”
“Together.”
After a brief chat, the two quickly came to a consensus.
Then the couple stopped talking and ceased their busyness. Instead, they enjoyed the tranquility of each other’s embrace, something they hadn’t had the chance to do for a long time.
Only after guessing that Sage Palo and Sage Serene would also be free, did the couple leave the tangled mess of their bed, freshen up, and change clothes.
Before long, the founders of the Four Sects Legions, Link and Jasmine, Sage Palo, Sage Serene, and Sage Cody were all gathered together.
Jasmine and Sage Serene were radiant, beautiful and enchanting.
Link and Sage Palo had similar spirited expressions on their faces.
Only Sage Cody harbored a hint of resentment in his eyes.
This was the silent complaint of a single man.
Link and Jasmine, as well as Sage Palo and Sage Serene, tactfully ignored Sage Cody’s resentment.
As the oldest among the five, if Sage Cody had wanted to part with singlehood, he probably would have had children older than Link by now.
Therefore, Sage Cody had no right to feel resentful.
Sensing the couples’ indifference, Cody curled his lips in resignation and took the initiative, “Alright, let’s focus and talk about serious matters.”
After speaking, Cody looked at Link and asked, “You’ve rushed over here and to this meeting so urgently; it must be something important. Let’s hear it.”
Link nodded and in response to Cody’s question, he disclosed all the information he had learned and the decisions he had made.
After listening, Cody, Palo, and Serene all fell into deep thought.
Not long after, Palo broke the silence, “This matter is indeed very troublesome, even difficult to deal with. But why do you insist on taking Jasmine away from the United Corps? What are you worried about, or what don’t you trust?”
“It’s not that I’m worried or distrustful,”
Link said seriously, “I believe that if something really happens, everyone will definitely stand firm together to face it. I’m taking Jasmine away for other reasons.”
“What reasons?”
Palo pressed.
Serene and Cody also set their eyes on Link, waiting for his answer.
Link spoke candidly, “Fewer people means more flexibility. If I’m not mistaken, Jasmine and I will be the primary targets of the impending trouble. Staying with the United Corps brings more disadvantages than advantages. At that time, not only will the United Corps face more intense attacks, but we will also lose the room to maneuver flexibly.”
“If the information you’ve obtained is correct, we won’t be able to avoid this trouble. Link, from what I know of you, you’re not someone who runs away from problems,”
At this, Serene spoke up before Palo, saying gravely, “Since you’ve decided to take Jasmine and leave the United Corps ahead of time, you must have your reasons. I won’t ask what they are specifically, I just have one question.”
“What is it?”
“Are you confident?”
