“The barrier of knowledge is both a high wall that divides domains and a deep ditch that blocks progress, right? … Who is that Hickman Arlington, a wizard from which professor? How can he be more arrogant than the members of the Death Herald Guild?”
“He is a student of ‘Soul Shaper’ Gilbert Winchester, Ray Lee. A small group and a recently emerged death branch. It’s said that Gilbert became a lecturing professor-level wizard just half a year ago.”
“Oh, no wonder I don’t recognize him, he’s a member of this new death branch. I’ll talk to the teacher about it. I also hope that Hickman Arlington’s presence won’t harm our friendship. All misunderstandings will be resolved, I promise.” Noland Lee said.
Philia nodded lightly, “Well, I’ll send you out.”
“No, no need, I know the way.” Noland Lee waved at her, “By the way, in which sector does Hickman Arlington live?”
“Area No.19, but he hasn’t joined any Alchemist Association and has always been doing his own thing.”
“Okay, I got it, goodbye. Looking forward to our next cooperation.”
Noland Lee turned around and left, his steps steady, without showing any sign of defeat or frustration.
A good start is half of success.
The beginning of failure is the end of success.
It’s better to expose the flaws in a business plan at the start of a venture than to be driven out of the company’s structure when sitting on a gold mine.
Noland Lee had done big business before crossing over and would not be discouraged by small setbacks. In fact, he felt a little excited.
Yes, excited.
In the world before crossing over, you had to be reasonable and legal to make your competitors disappear, otherwise, you would give others leverage.
But here, in this place where extraordinary power flows everywhere, it would be reasonable for a first-rank wizard to mysteriously disappear, right?
Hell.
If Hickman Arlington were of a good alignment, Noland Lee would indeed have to weigh his options.
But since the other party is not a good person, let’s borrow his head for a moment.
“Ah, it seems that in this world, buying and selling knowledge also requires strength first.”
Noland Lee opened the car door, sat in the steam locomotive, his eyes deepened, and quickly planned the full set of plans for the mysterious disappearance of a first-rank wizard.
“Let me see how Hickman Arlington’s deconstruction results are first…”

[Weaknesses]

A single blow that deals massive damage can penetrate all of Hickman Arlington’s defenses, resulting in an instant kill effect. It is estimated that igniting 8 Level 2 Aberration corpses can instantly kill Hickman Arlington.
Fatal Damage Weakness:
Magic and extraordinary items targeting ethereal beings and skeletons can cause fatal damage.
Restraining Actions Weakness:
All magic and extraordinary items that can cause negative effects on the intellect, skeleton, and ethereal beings are effective.
“‘Death Erosion,’ ‘Plot Precedence’… It seems that Hickman Arlington is a habitual offender.”
“With just 8 Level 2 corpses, I can kill you in an instant. Hickman Arlington, what right do you have to be arrogant in front of me?”
The gleam in Noland Lee’s eyes flickered a few times.
With Deconstruction, all of Hickman Arlington’s hidden cards were exposed.
Before fighting, whoever figured out the other’s hidden cards first would essentially win, just like in “JOJO,” modern warfare, and gambling.
At this moment, Noland Lee cannot help but correct one of his misconceptions. He originally thought that the Deconstruction Core System was not suitable for fighting.
Now he found himself wrong.
When he has strength, capital, and means, the intelligence function provided by the Deconstruction Core System becomes the most critical part of the battle.
If he doesn’t instantly kill Hickman Arlington, it would be a pity for the information provided by the Deconstruction Core System..
