Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 340: Chapter 82: Where it Comes From, it Goes Back_2

Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the Fairy King’s soul remains unknown. (Link mutters under his breath: “I know where.”)

After preserving the somewhat research-worthy, broken down body of the Fairy King, the two squads continue their mission to hunt for his soul.

At first, Link thought that the “seed” might need a very long time to devour the soul of the Fairy King, so he didn’t mind.

He figured they could keep searching, how much time could it really take?

Perhaps at most one or two days, he could bear that.

Who could have known, even after the end of the third campaign, the two squads received no permission from the Command Post to cease their search.

Yes, the third campaign has ended!

After the Fairy King remains missing and several key forts and the royal court fell, the resistance of the Fairy royal family plummeted.

Apart from scattered small-scale resistance, the entire Fairy World is essentially under the control of the Palo’s Sage army.

Even the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince have been captured one by one.

Except for a few nobles and generals with staunch resistance from the Fairy royal family and the Royal Family, who died in battle, the rest became captives.

Several major Fairy Dukes who were quick to surrender were commissioned to establish a Five-Clan Coalition Government to manage the Fairy World.

Yes, the Rainforest Fairies are no longer part of the royal family, but they are still one of the five major Fairy clans, and enjoy the same political status as the High Mountain, Grassland, River, and Ocean clans.

This has led to considerable dissatisfaction among the Fairy Dukes of the other four clans, causing quite a commotion.

But the situation is stronger than the people.

The current situation in the Fairy World is in the hands of Palo’s Sage army.

When the Palo Sage Army speaks, the four clan’s Fairy Dukes have to listen, whether they like it or not.

There’s no room for bargaining.

If it doesn’t work, they’ll just replace the fairy.

After all, there are many fairies coveting their positions.

As the four clans’ Fairy Dukes got a taste of even greater power, they also felt the vaguely visible shackles around their necks.

The representative of the Rainforest Fairies, of course, cannot be chosen from the princes, the mainline of the royal family, or even the major branches of the royal family.

In the end, the seat was claimed by a highly respected elderly commoner of humble birth.

Such a choice would further pacify the Rainforest Fairy Clan.

After ruling the Fairy World for nearly a thousand years, even if Palo’s Sage Army has decimated the Rainforest Fairy clan’s armies, they still have a deep foundation. With some mobilization, training, and arming, they can muster an army capable of contending with the other four clans.

And allowing a strong, prestigious Fairy to represent the Rainforest Fairies would only create problems.

Better to strangle this threat in the crib. It will save a lot of trouble.

The first order of business after the formation of the Five-Clan Coalition Government was public trial.

The people facing public trial were the absent Fairy King, the princes, the remaining members of the royal family, and certain Royal Clan nobles.

There were heaps of charges, ranging from extortion and aggressive tactics, abduction, corruption, reckless disregard for life, to excessive indulgence, extravagant construction, provoking wars, wasting public energy, and so on and so forth, too many to count.

The purpose was only one: to smash the positive image of the Fairy Royal Clan, Royal Family, and Fairy King, to paint them as the villains, in order to mitigate the effects of war and prevent possible rebellion.

The participants in the prosecution and the hearing were mainly representatives of the impoverished from all groups.

Nobles could observe, but they were not compelled to attend – it was entirely up to them.

The public trial lasted for three days.

By the end, the scene was somewhat out of control.

Because the Fairy Royal Clan and Royal Family have indeed done too many horrible things.

Many, many downtrodden fairies have suffered oppression from the royal and royal families.

When so many victims gathered and recounted their experiences of oppression and persecution, it aroused the anger of many fairies.

They wished they could tear these detestable parasites and vermin to pieces right there on the spot.

Only under the strenuous efforts of the Five-Clan Coalition Government was order not completely lost.

In the end, the princes, other members of the royal family, and some noble fairies who were put on trial were beaten to death.

Their bodies, however, were still preserved.

The Fairy nobles watching on the sidelines all turned pale out of fright towards the end.

Especially the physically disabled third prince. Before his death, he cried out, “Today it’s me, tomorrow it will be you. I’ll be waiting for you,” which caused many Fairy nobles to tremble with fear.

Everyone knows that among the princes, the one with the most wisdom and insight is the third prince.

Before his death, he must have had a purpose in yelling out like that, and he definitely must have seen a trend.

Perhaps the social structure of the Fairy World will undergo even more radical changes.

All clans’ nobles hope that their status, power, and interests will not be impacted too severely.

Thus, they all enthusiastically participated in the establishment of the Five-Clan Coalition Government.

From central to local, at all levels, and in all institutions, the establishment work was extremely smooth.

Palo’s Sage’s army’s conquest of the Fairy World has thus smoothly entered a transitional stage, with the second phase thought warfare as the main and third phase indirect rule as the auxiliary.

These were all read out loud every day by Assad, the True Spirit Wizard who could most suitably be described as a human radio, in order to relieve boredom.

Link listened with half an ear, only interested enough to understand what was happening, but not concerned with these details.

What he cared about now was when this search mission, destined to be fruitless, would finally come to an end.

Even if the two squads search around the Fairy King’s Forest for a long time, it would be completely meaningless.
