BXBX NOVEL Chapter 132 - 9 Honesty, Madness_2
As a stranger, Link had no right to question this.
But as a teammate, even a temporary one, Link needed to understand it somewhat, for dealing with it, and for adjusting his interaction mode and command strategy.
“There’s nothing to hide about this, it’s not really a secret, and it’snot a sad story either,”
Elise Clark shrugged and said nonchalantly, “I was born on the front line of the Heavenly Battlefield. I was somewhat traumatized at birth, so I was born with this personality. Unpredictable and erratic. But as I grow older and deepen my meditation, I have gradually gained control.”
She waved her hand, indicating to Link that he needn’t be too reserved: “If there are any other questions, just ask. Ask directly!”
“Why do you want to join my team?”
Seeing this, Link did not hesitate to ask the question he most wanted to know the answer to.
“Well, there are too many reasons.”
Elise Clark stuck out her fragrant tongue, moistened her lips, looking a bit troubled about where to begin.
“Tell me in detail.”
Link was not going to miss this great opportunity.
He wanted to know too badly why Elise Clark had targeted him.
Elise Clark began to explain in detail:
“Well, firstly, my sister and the Serene Wizard are close friends. They often have gatherings and chats during their breaks, and I’ve heard about you being called the ‘Friend of Witches.\'”
“I was intrigued, so I specifically investigated you.”
“Hey, I found you quite interesting!”
“You’re from Stormy Sea, not high in qualification, but you perform even better than Lanny Taylor, the only advance fifth rank qualified student in the first year of Southern District.”
“Not only are you ranked first in academic performance, but even in wizards’ level, you are not lagging behind.”
“Um….”
“The wizard’s level is not something I investigated myself, it’s information my sister gave me.”
“In addition, I’m interested in your real relationship with Jasmine Kidman.”
“The Serene Wizard said that your mentality is quite mature, unlike our peers. Instead, you are like an adult.”
“I want to figure out whether you are a ‘copper-refining cancer’ patient as they say on the ‘forum.\'”
“What if I am?”
Link’s face went cold as he interrupted Elise Clark’s lengthy explanation with an interjection.
The death of Harold Andrews was no loss at all.
The rumors he had concocted had greatly defamed Link’s image and had affected how people viewed Link.
Letting him off without crushing him to pieces would be letting him off too easily.
“If that’s the case…”
Elise Clark’s eyes instantly flashed with a bright light. She had a devilish grin on her face, and her gaze gradually went to Link’s lower body, sinisterly declaring: “I’ll castrate you!”
“Alright, lucky I’m not.”
Link felt a chill down his spine.
Scary, just like a crazy clown. She is indeed scary.
“Heh, scared now?”
Elise Clark raised her eyebrows, triumphant.
It seemed like scaring Link was something of great achievement to her.
“Yes, I am.”
Link shrugged, quickly admitted defeat, and then said, “What other reasons are there? You continue to speak.”
“In addition, after researching you for so long, I’ve become quite curious about you.”
Elise Clark pouted a little at Link’s perfunctory response. She seemed a bit dissatisfied but didn’t make a fuss about it, continuing to answer, “That’s just how I am. If I find someone or something interesting, I need to figure it out.” “Figure out what? What’s so interesting about me?”
“Quite a few things.”
“Like?”
“Like howyou managed to establish the system of ‘experiment’, ‘paper’, and ‘patent’ without any relevant education or guidance.”
“Like where you learned the method to germinate Silver Star Flower Seeds. It would seem like there’s a systematic logic behind your method, rooted in an advanced scientific research system.”
“Like howyou dare to behave unassumingly in front of Wizard Palo.”
For example, how dare you step over the bottom line of the college and kill Harold Andrews.
Why would you think that women’s love for beauty could be incorporated into the development of potions?
Why did you take in Buck Watt, Ezio Richie and their group?
For example…”
“Okay, what about now? How do you feel?”
Link Grande seeing Elise Clark talking on and on, showing a trend to keep going, he quickly interrupted and asked.
“Now? I feel like you’re a suspicious person. You doubt this and that. I guess you’re still doubting me, so you keep testing me.”
Elise Clark did not get annoyed, she had been deliberately going on and on earlier, and now she ridiculed Link Grande to his face in answering his question.
“Indeed.”
Link Grande admitted candidly. There was nothing to be shy about this evident matter.
“Huh!”
Elise Clark sighed, “I made a bad impression. Once the seed of doubt is sown, it’s bound to germinate.”
Link Grande did not continue the topic about suspicion and doubt, choosing to shift to another subject, asking: “I’m really curious, even if your sister and the Serene Wizard are friends, why would you help me fight ‘Pure Blood Volition’?”
Elise Clark countered: “Do you know about the North District? Do you know about the ‘Pure Blood Volition’?”
Link Grande replied: “I have little knowledge of the North District and a bit of understanding of ‘Pure Blood Volition’.”
If you know yourself and know your enemy, you will never be in peril in a hundred battles.
Since Link was involved in the bet between Wizard Palo and Wizard Peter Lionel, he couldn’t play blind and ignore collecting information about “Pure Blood Volition”.
“Do you know that in ‘Pure Blood Volition’, people are divided into three categories: New Blood, Half Blood, and Pure Blood?”
Elise Clark asked again.
” I’ve heard something about it.”
Link Grande had indeed seen this kind of news.
According to the classification of “Pure Blood Volition”, wizards apprentices like Link, Jasmine, and Lanny Taylor, who were born directly on the numerous islands in the Stormy Sea, are known as New Blood;
Those who have settled on the Continent and prospered, but haven’t exceeded six generations, their people are collectively referred to as Half Blood;
Only the wizards who are descendants of families that have lived in the Ravensmouth Special Area since the establishment of Ravensmouth College are qualified to bear the title of “Pure Blood”.
This kind of thinking, this kind of classification, instinctively offended Link Grande.
But considering that the college officially uses the term Storm Sea New Blood, Link didn’t show his displeasure.
Elise Clark watched the expression on Link’s face change, and said indifferently: “You should now guess that being born into the Clark Family, I am what they consider a Half Blood.
New Blood and Half Blood are natural allies!
Why in the regional competition, only the top 30 of each grade from the Southern District can participate?
It’s not just because the overall quality of the New Blood in the Southern District is lower than that in the North District.
It’s also because there is a huge divide within the North District itself!
The opposition between Pure Blood and Half Blood is very severe!”
With that, Elise Clark became passionate and her personality changed dramatically again, becoming somewhat frantic.
She deliberately let her hair down, shaking her head and cackling:
“Why would I want to help you fight ‘Pure Blood Volition’?
Because I want to fight them myself.
They call me a lunatic, a madwoman.
I will be a lunatic, a madwoman, and then slaughter them one by one.”
Elise Clark stood up before Link Grande, hung her head, and through gaps in her hair stared at Link’s eyes. Her voice was manic but also earnest as she asked:
“Link Grande, will you team up with this mad woman,
and kill all those Pure Blood scum?”
Maybe it was because she was looking down, but Elise Clark’s eyes rolled upward, revealing a large part of the whites.
Her hair was messy and spread out.
If not for her light yellow hair, Elise Clark’s appearance would have closely resembled Sadako who crawled out of the TV, or Aunt Chu who liked to perch on people’s shoulders.
Link Grande was not frightened by Elise Clark’s sudden hysteria and calmly said, “You sit down and compose yourself. Don’t be too extreme.”
Taking a pause, Link saw that the pupils of Elise Clark’s eyes gradually moved back in place and her eyes became clear. He continued, “Every debt has its debtor. ‘Pure Blood Volition’ refers to ‘Pure Blood Volition’, and Pure Blood refers to Pure Blood.”
“At present, I’m just targeting ‘Pure Blood Volition’!”
