Chapter 514: 167. Quiet Little Noland?_4
: 167. Quiet Little Noland?_4
A deep sigh came from beneath Comini’s mask:
“Back to the point.
“Eleven Four-ring wizards. Five Five-ring wizards. Four Six-ring wizards. Two Seven-ring wizards, and I am one of them.”
Noland Lee raised his hand and said:
“I apologize.. Comini, I have a question. Why is there such a big gap between the number of wizard students and four-ring wizards?”
Comini’s answer was simple and straightforward, hitting the nail on the head:
“Because most people cannot accept the fact that they have become women, they asked the professor to use magic to turn them back into men. Without exception, they all lost their ‘Magic Power Container’ after turning back into men.”
Noland Lee seemed to have an understanding as he nodded:
“So, on the path of the Silent Branch, gender cognition is the most difficult hurdle…”
Comini nodded, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:
“No, practicing ‘The Voice of Silence’ is as difficult as gender cognition.
“Back to the earlier topic.
“One Eight-ring, she is the Tombkeeper of the Mass Wizard Tombs.
“One Nine-ring, she is our wizard leader, and also a professor. Her name is Claudia Erika, the first Silent Witch in wizard history. She is lucky, as she possessed a ‘Magic Power Container’ in her female identity.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Comini waved his hand and said:
“I’ll introduce to you up to here. You’re quite lucky too, making me even a little envious. I hope those who later possess a ‘Magic Power Container’ do not need to endure the pain of modifying their gender cognition.”
Noland Lee slowly nodded and said:
“Can you give me a few days to consider it carefully? I need to discuss it with my companion witches.”
Noland Lee held the stone dagger, looking at Comini watching him.
As expected, Comini did not refuse.
“Yes.”
Noland Lee narrowed his eyes and asked:
“What would happen if I reveal your secret of not having a spiritual ocean?”
Comini said:
“According to ‘Ulnas Ring’s Second Law Order’, leaking the core secrets of legal wizard forces is punishable by death, implemented immediately. An illegal knower of the secret will have their memory erased.”
Noland Lee pondered for a moment and pulled up the ‘Second Law’ he had obtained by deconstructing it from Denise Green for a look. Indeed, the contents mentioned by Comini were written in this order.
He estimated that if he leaked the core secret of the ‘Silent Maiden’, he would enjoy the treatment of an enforcer teleporting over, hacking him to a pulp, and then scattering his ashes.
By that time, calling Denise Green for help would only harm this pure and gentle witch.
Seeing Noland Lee seemed to be swayed, Comini said:
“Just infuse soul energy into this short sword, and you’ll receive the meditation method of the ‘Silent Maiden,’ and can establish contact with Professor Erika.
“Properly carry out the duties of an enforcer, reward good and punish evil, and you will receive rewards from the Wizard Enforcement Department after criminals are executed. Rewards include bounty and credit points.
“If criminals are killed in a correct and legal manner by you, you can extract silent power from the body. Of course, the premise is that you have trained the meditation method to Level 90. Only at this level can you extract silent power.
“What you need to pay special attention to is, according to the agreement between the ‘Silent Maiden’ and the Ulnas Ring Law Enforcement Department, you can only extract silent power from the bodies of criminals, and it is not possible to extract this power from any other bodies. If so, it will be regarded as a major criminal act, you will be dismissed, and be banished by the ‘Silent Maiden’.”
“Catch criminals, receive rewards from the Wizard Enforcement Department…” Noland Lee muttered a phrase, and chuckled inwardly.
How embarrassing, he, he, a person who sneakily sells knowledge, could actually receive rewards from the Wizard Enforcement Department.
Uh.
That’s not right.
Not sneakily selling knowledge.
He is legally using the Ulnas Ring’s authorized knowledge circulation channel to sell his original magical knowledge to specific parties.
On second thought, Noland Lee suddenly realized that accepting the modified version of the Silent Oath and becoming a Silent Enforcer might not be bad.
What does he aim for in selling knowledge?
The aim is money.
Isn’t arresting criminals and collecting bounties from the Wizard Law Enforcement Department the same?
If there’s a straight and open road to walk on, why take the trembling narrow plank?
“I’ll consider it seriously.” Noland Lee put the stone dagger in his pocket and asked Comini:
“How do you consider my battle strength to compare to that of a Battle Wizard at what stage?”
Comini contemplated a little:
“After activating ‘Death Incarnate,’ your combat strength is almost on par with a Six-ring Battle Wizard. When ‘Death Incarnate’ is not activated, you are stronger than an average Five-ring Battle Wizard, about… roughly equivalent to two Five-ring Battle Wizards working together, but you definitely can’t reach the level of a Six-ring Battle Wizard. If you improve your control over magical energy a little, then your combat strength will be higher.”
“Um, my conjectures aren’t far off.” When Noland Lee was previously observing Gardner and Kevin clearing out illegal personnel in Black City, he compared their combat power with his, and it indeed matched what Comini had said.
Looking at it this way, the Deconstruction Core System is quite suitable for combat. Just the fact that he can use energy points to train skills to Level 100 allows Noland Lee to rise above average Five-ring Battle Wizards.
Noland Lee came back to his senses, nodded, and said:
“Regarding the earlier duel, you won. According to the rules, you can force me to join you. But I think, perhaps you don’t wish to do so. Therefore, regarding the unexpected death of Hickman Arlington, ask whatever you want to ask. I’ll tell you the answer.”
