Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 823: 260. Start the tough attack_3

“I’ve learned a lot.” Denise Green said earnestly:

“I feel like there’s so much I need to learn from Selena… just the figures and relationships within the wizard forces and the wizard families are enough to make my head swell.”

“Don’t worry, take it slow. If you find it too troublesome to learn on your own, I can infuse the knowledge into you with a spell.” Noland Lee replied.

“Hmm…” Denise pondered for a moment:

“I’d rather use my own brain to remember them. Selena managed to do it on her own, and I’m sure I can too.”

“Alright, alright, seeing you work so hard is reassuring.” Noland Lee laughed cheerfully.

Denise hugged Noland Lee’s arm and shook it:

“You’re not bad yourself, Noland. No wonder you are confident enough to buy an isle inside Core Circle. Today, I’ve finally seen your talent in socializing.”

“Hehe, do I look handsome?” Noland Lee chuckled.

“Handsome, handsome, handsome~” Denise waved her fair arms, the very image of an adoring little sister.

Their high spirits were watched by two silhouettes guarding the Study Room in the tower.

Lonco Pomida stood by the window, watching Noland Lee and his companion fade into the distance on a Public Vehicle.

He smiled bitterly and turned to Selena, who was also watching the two, saying:

“Even though their relationship is so intimate, do you still plan on getting involved, Selena? Ah, I just don’t understand. I thought you would be very cold towards Jarvis’s Companion Witch, but I couldn’t have imagined that your relationship with her would be so cordial…”

“Brother, you don’t understand.” Selena stared transfixed at Noland Lee’s retreating figure:

“I have lived this long; what kind of men haven’t I seen? Yet, I’ve always been single. Doesn’t this show that what I seek isn’t love or impulse?”

Lonco Pomida scratched his head:

“Then what are you after? I really can’t see what about Noland Lee Jarvis attracts you.”

Selena smiled and said:

“I’m after peace, brother. I seek peace. If Jarvis can take such good care of Denise, then naturally he can also take good care of me, giving me the peace I long for.”

“Peace? Hell, what a reason…” Lonco Pomida grimaced, grasping his hair in frustration:

“Speaking of peace, isn’t it better here at the Deep Sea Branch? Why follow Jarvis and manage that unsettled Sub-Dimensional Plane of his?

“No offense, Selena, but managing a Sub-Dimensional Plane for someone else isn’t reliable.

“If luck’s not on your side and you encounter demons or Grey Wizards invading the Sub-Dimensional Plane, Jarvis might not have a way to deal with them.

“In the end, wouldn’t you still need to seek help from the Deep Sea Branch? I actually think that Jarvis is deliberately getting close to you, just to use you as…”

“No, brother, don’t talk nonsense.” Selena straightened her face and interrupted Lonco Pomida:

“Just wait and see how Jarvis performs in the future. He will fulfill the promise he made to me.”

Lonco Pomida held back the words at the tip of his tongue and slapped his own head:

“…Fine, in the end, it seems I’m the one talking too much. But my agreement isn’t enough; father…”

“Jarvis will go persuade dad.” Selena said.

“Hmm, alright. Whatever you say, that’s how it will be.” Lonco Pomida waved his hand and turned away from the window, calling out as he left:

“Don’t just stand there, Selena. Call your sister over quickly. You should help her get familiar with Sidney’s duties as soon as possible, or else the academy’s administrative order will soon be in chaos.”

…

…

Noland Lee didn’t leave the Core Circle with Denise directly.

First, he dropped her off at the Stone House, then he entered the City of Suman in the Inner Circle on his own.

For this sea voyage, Noland Lee had made an advance payment to Hadley Grant, who owned an invisibility magic yacht.

He had arranged with Hadley to rent the magic yacht to go out to sea.

There was no need for Hadley to act as captain; Noland Lee could control the magic yacht by himself.

Hadley was cautious about this arrangement but agreed cheerfully to Noland Lee’s request after seeing the 300,000 deposit he put forward.

The 300,000 deposit is to offset the rent and can also be used to repair any damage to the magic yacht.

When Noland Lee found Hadley Grant, the latter had already filled the magic yacht with deep sea magic stones and had maintained it inside and out.

With Hadley Grant’s repeated reminders, Noland Lee, bearing his friendly blessings, sailed out of port and headed toward the Starfall Sea in the southern part of the Suman Archipelago.

Just as the magic yacht was 100 kilometers from the Core Circle, sparks flashed in the control room, accompanied by Denise Green’s laughter.

“Wow~ I can finally leave the Core Circle and have a turn at sea~~”

Denise Green fiddled and looked around the control room, filled with anticipation for the deep sea that she had long been away from.

Her enthusiasm was quickly dampened by the poor condition of the seawater.

The seawater far from the Core Circle was fishy, sour, extremely salty, and muddy green; sometimes, even black pollutants would surge up from the seabed.

The magic yacht was as if sailing on a smelly pond.

None of this was as refreshing as the glassy sea surface of the Core Circle.

Just excited for a little while, Denise Green soon became quiet, leaning on Noland Lee and staring blankly out the window at the waves:

“Where are we going?”

“The Starfall Sea,” Noland Lee replied, blowing the Messenger Whistle to summon the Snow-winged Cat, stuffing it into Denise Green’s arms.

With a playmate, Denise Green no longer felt bored.

Noland Lee patted the heads of the girl and the cat, and said with a smile:

“Didn’t I tell Selena and the others that I could determine the distribution of non-metallic ore on every island of the Suman Archipelago in an extremely short amount of time?”

“Yeah,” Denise Green said while playing with the cat:

“What does that have to do with us going to sea?”

“Of course it’s related,” Noland Lee said in a low voice:

“This is my little secret. I’m only telling you. Oh, and the Snow-winged Cat will also know. You two better not tell anyone else.”

Denise Green blinked and nodded repeatedly at Noland Lee. She then shook the Snow-winged Cat and said to the kitty:

“Did you hear that?”

“Meow meow~” The Snow-winged Cat humanly nodded its head up and down, its crystal-like, sparkling cat eyes fixed on Noland Lee.

“This actually has to do with the treasure I found on the seabed,” Noland Lee explained:

“The treasure records the distribution of mineral resources on each isle. We are here to try to salvage it.”

Denise Green rounded her mouth:

“… Then we must hurry. It would be terrible if someone else got to it first.”

“Hahaha, no need to rush. Only I know where the treasure is,” Noland Lee laughed heartily, focusing on steering the boat.

Only he knew that the so-called treasure was made up.

The purpose of his actions was nothing more than to cover up the fact that he used the Deconstruction technique to discover the distribution of mineral resources.

Noland Lee had to do this.

For ‘the innocent man is without fault, but he who carries a jade is guilty’.

‘Magic Proficient’ or ‘Omniscient’, at best they could only be tactical-level Extraordinary Traits.

But the ability to rapidly determine the distribution of mineral resources has reached the height of a strategic-level Feature.

Only by making adequate preparations could Noland Lee avoid falling into a tragic predicament.

Of course, in a sense, Noland Lee did not lie about hiding information regarding mineral distribution at sea.

His trip was to passively deconstruct the sea area, acquire a large amount of Energy Points, and then deconstruct the islands.

Isn’t that equivalent to finding a treasure related to mineral distribution in the sea~

Since he was going to acquire Energy Points through Passive Deconstruction of sea areas, it made sense to choose the Starfall Sea with its rich seabed Collection. Perhaps he would even discover the whereabouts of the seabed collection.noveldrama

This was Noland Lee’s plan for obtaining mineral distribution information, which could certainly be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
