Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 631: 202. Main Consultant_3

Look at the envelopes on the table. Neither more nor less, just four invitation letters, corresponding to the four wizard families that Jenela just mentioned.

Each invitation letter bears the family emblem.

The emblem of the Pangula Family, which made its fortune from exploration and mining, is a “cross pick striking a mineral, sparks flying out”.

The emblem of the Mantas Family, which operates magic item exchanges everywhere, is a “scale with a magic gem on the left and an equal weight of gold coins on the right”.

The emblem of the HaydenFamily, renowned owners of a magic ship empire, is a “magic mechanical ship causing large waves when launched into the water”.

——The magic mechanical ship is not the metal magic ship owned by the defector, Captain Berkeley. It is transformed from steam mechanical ships and sailing ships, maintaining a normal ship appearance.

The Charnel Family, which specializes in overseas trade and operates magic workshops, farms, and orchards, uses magic mechanical ships to control vital sea routes by accurately scouting the mist threshold. Their emblem is an “oceanic fleet moving toward the morning sun at the sky’s edge”.

These four families are not all the familial wizard forces on the Suman Archipelago.

Apart from them, there are at least dozens of other family forces on the archipelago.

The other family forces didn’t send invitation letters to Noland Lee, not out of disdain for him, but simply due to a lack of information and network resources, as they had not yet heard of Noland.

Only the top wizard families, with the widest network and fastest information channels, could complete the due diligence on Noland’s background and origin in such a short time and then send him an invitation letter.

So presumably, after a few more days, Jenela would progressively receive letters from small and medium family forces.

Noland opened the four invitation letters on the table and carefully checked each one.

All four invitation letters are issued in the name of the family, and the invitees are the legitimate heirs of each family.

It seems that in the Suman Archipelago, every family’s business on an island is handled by the family’s heir.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

These heirs who manage the family’s business in a certain region are the local principals.

Those who sent the invitation letters are these principals, and those who pay attention to Noland are also these principals.

Then, the person who previously inquired Professor Erica must also be one of them….

Noland matched the letter from Professor Erica and the invitation letters in front of him in his mind.

“How about it, Jarvis, have you considered becoming a family advisor?” Jenela asked after Noland had finished reading the invitation letters.

“I need to think about it.” Noland replied thoughtfully:

“Although I can serve as an advisor to multiple families at the same time and I don’t have to quit the Silent Maiden, the price is that I ought to be on call, ready to appear in person whenever needed by the family. This would interfere with my own affairs. The most troublesome part would be if multiple families summon me at the same time. No matter which family I respond to, I may offend the others. However, it’s not a bad idea to take the invitation letters, meet the local principals of each family.”

Noland collected the four invitation letters and planned to visit each family one by one, looking for opportunities to strengthen his combat and financial strengths significantly.

He is currently overwhelmed with Energy Points, just enough to deconstruct the magic books he’s seen in various families.

If he could unlock “Shaping Magic”, that would be even better.

Noland stood up to leave, and Jenela escorted him to the door.

The invitation letters Noland held mentioned contact information for the principals’ housekeepers. As assistants to the family principals, these housekeepers each have their magic messenger.

Before Noland visits them, he needs to contact these housekeepers and schedule the time and place; otherwise, it would seem abrupt.

When visiting, he has to dress formally, and shouldn’t take it lightly because he is a guest. He shouldn’t take it for granted that the host will respect and accommodate him; everything has to be proper and polite.

Also, Noland needs to find out about the principals’ hobbies, habits, reputation, and dislikes, in order to cater to their preferences and styles and gain more favor.

Majority of these tedious but necessary details were known to Noland before his crossing. The rest were summed up after understanding the background of this world once he had crossed over.

In short, he must be fully prepared and thoroughly understand the principals’ “habits” before he pays a visit.

If he considered the visit a channel to understand principals, that would spell disaster. Understanding the principals must happen before the visit. Many people struggle in social settings because they fail to understand this principle.

Having lived two lives, Noland is naturally not going to make that mistake.

“If I want to understand the principals, deconstructing them would be the easiest way… But where can I find these heavily guarded principals?”

Noland strolled down the street, contemplating silently.

Because they possess extraordinary power, the important members of the wizard families in this world are always guarded by formidable combat mages. Some of the key family members themselves might possess the strength of Six-Ring, Seven-Ring, or even higher.

Otherwise….

Otherwise, the internal struggle for the first-in-line inheritance rights alone would be enough to pose a threat to the lives of family members with high ranking in the line of succession.

It can be imagined that, as the local principals of family business, they live on some island in the inner circle, spending most of their time handling family affairs in magic castles and the rest of their time attending banquets in a low-key manner.
