Constructing-Style Wizard

: 164. Silent Visitor_3

Noland Lee persists in his rigorous regimen of practicing breathing techniques, body-forging movements, and meditation methods as he continues his travels to gather resources for the Sage Space.

Denise Green was no idle bystander. She immersed herself in Alchemy, laying a solid foundation for the future maintenance of the Sage Space. Noland got some books about the Suman Archipelago and deep-sea travel from Mabel, which he committed to mind before passing them on to Denise.

Under Noland’s arrangement, Denise devoted herself to familiarizing herself with the island life. She set aside her personal preconceptions about island life and started to construct a more detailed and realistic plan based on the factual knowledge recorded in the books.

It was only then that Denise realized how rudimentary her initial plan had been. However, it was not too late; there was still time to rectify everything.

As Noland and Denise were busy laying out their island life, the Elemental Judgment was steadily carrying out the aftermath of leaving Union City.

Moving houses for the wizards was far more convenient than ordinary people.

They only needed to neatly arrange their items and place them into the magical suitcase dedicated for long travels.

When Mabel first arrived in Union City, she brought along more than twenty magic suitcases, each with a volume exceeding 500 cubic units. This was enough to pack most of their things and take them away.

For living creatures such as magic cats, alchemy cats, alchemy plants, and other things that could not be put into the storage space, Mabel left them with the local Cat Society.

For her, moving house was a minor issue. What was truly troublesome was the task of clarifying certain responsibilities and disentangling herself from them.

The first thing was to sever her relationship with the Cat Society.

She had initially invested in the Cat Society under the guise of a traveling merchant, and now she wanted to withdraw her funds. Together with the alchemical animals she left with the Cat Society, she was able to reclaim a total of more than 300 million Union Coins.

As everybody knows, Union Coins are worthless outside Union City.

In order to protect her wealth from shrinking away, Mabel had to exchange them into alchemy weapons and alchemy materials before leaving Union City.

Noland intervened to connect Mabel to Derek Davis and Cindy, thereby introducing her to the administrator of the Golden Commerce Guild.

The Golden Commerce Guild held many Life Elixirs, totaling over six million. Besides, there were numerous broken alchemy weapons recycled from the Fissure Corridor.

After several rounds of negotiation with the Golden Commerce Guild, Mabel succeeded in purchasing two million life potions and hundreds of sets of alchemy weapons with the massive sum of 300 million Union Coins.

Upon hearing this news, Noland could only shake his head and exclaim that Mabel was truly a rich spinster.

She had once casually revealed that she came from a prominent background, backed by an ancient wizard family. It seems that Mabel was not lying. She truly had unusual financial resources.

Noland’s collaboration with such a witch was not for her casual wealth but for the opportunity to fill her thirst for knowledge.

After solving the issue of severing relationships with the Cat Society and averting a loss of wealth, Mabel began to worry about the second issue.

During her tenure as the local magic institution mentor, the number of Wandering Wizards in Union City visibly reduced.

The two observers from the Death Herald Guild were dead.

They were killed by the Flywing Mutants in the artificial Nest, a detail confirmed by the captured Blackbone Hermit.

Fugidia from the Night Spirit Cult and Sheldon Archer from the Hotams Death Department were dead.

They died within the contamination zone of the Blood Sun Seal.

Nikcat under the Tomb King was dead.

His death came unexpectedly, without any prior indication. For a moment, Mabel was stunned upon hearing this news from her mentor.

According to Nikcat’s mentor, the last time Nikcat made contact was just after the contamination zone had been closed down. At that time, Nikcat claimed to be lingering in the underground passage of sector 6.

So the place where Nikcat suddenly died must also be underground in sector 6. That place was designated as a no-man’s land by the Alchemy Sanctuary where anyone could initiate a duel to the death without bearing any responsibility.

The one who killed Nikcat bore no guilt.

Upon hearing the situation, Professor Nikcat sighed without asking any further questions.

The news of the wandering wizard’s demise didn’t end there.

One evening, Gilbert Winchester, the “Soul Shaper”, sent a message. Through Meifule’s professor, he informed Meifule of the death of Hickman Arlington.

Winchester discovered Hickman’s life and death after the pollution area was closed. Whether there was a connection between the two was unknown. Meifule has no clue.

Because in her memory, Hickman Arlington, the gloomy soul shaping wizard, had left Union City long ago, hadn’t he?

Faced with this question, Gilbert Winchester fell into a strange silence.

Meifule keenly sensed something wrong, the other party’s silence transmitted subtle information.

Faced with Meifule’s questioning, Gilbert chose to evade, revealing no further information.

Meifule read into this unusual meaning. Since she had no clues at hand and was about to leave Union City, she did not investigate further.

Meifule thought it was over, but it was not.

Behind her back, Gilbert reported Hickman’s matter to the Wizard Law Enforcement Department, asking the Wizard Enforcers to investigate on his behalf.

The implication was clear.

Winchester didn’t trust a single word Meifule said, so he took this almost face-tearing approach to investigate the cause of Hickman’s death.

If he had any trust left for Meifule, he should have initiated a discussion with her about entrusting the Wizard Enforcers with the investigation.

But he didn’t.

He bypassed Meifule directly and applied for intervention of Wizard Enforcers.

This angered Meifule.

She had no choice but to accept the interrogation of Wizard Enforcers.

Inside the study of Cat Society Manor.

Sunlight poured through the window, casting a bright column of light inside.

The atmosphere, which should have been peaceful, fell into a deathly silence due to the arrival of a unique woman.

Mabel had her hands on the table; gray glowing magic chains were wrapped around her body. She, expressionless, stared at the woman sitting across the table.

Mabel repeated what she had said earlier in a deep voice:

“No matter how many times you interrogate me with the Sword of Silence, it’s no use, ma’am. I know nothing about the cause of Hickman’s death. Neither I nor my wizard students have ever taken any violent measures against him.”

The object referred to as the “Sword of Silence,” lay horizontally on the desk in front of Meifule. Its tip emanated a gray beam of light that was the source of the gray chains on Meifule.

Fine beads of sweat popped up on Mabel’s forehead as she clearly withstood immense pressure.

The Sword of Silence retracted the magic chains around Mabel soundlessly and flew over to the lady across the table. As if an agile fish, it hovered around this unique woman.

Mabel breathed a sigh of relief, her body went limp and she slumped back into her chair.

The owner of the Sword of Silence, uttered in an unwavering voice:

“You’ve passed the test of the Sword of Silence, but my mission isn’t over. I need your cooperation. Start by handing over all the information about the wandering wizards. Before I find the murderer, you cannot disclose my existence to anyone. Otherwise, according to the ‘2nd Wizard Law of Ulnas Circle’, I, as a wizard enforcer, will punish you.”
