She said coldly:
“Thank you for your kindness, Madimanson. I inform you in advance that after the pollution zone here is lifted, the Elemental Judgement will leave the Golden Federation within a month. From now on, you will not receive any magic assistance from the Elemental Judgement.”
Mabel’s words were unexpected for Madimanson.
After a moment of surprise, the Alchemist Commander asked:
“Don’t you want to study Aberration Magic anymore? Isn’t this the knowledge you’ve always desired?”
Mabel’s tone remained steady:
“We are wizards, not fools, nor idiots who can be manipulated at will. We respect the choice of every nation. Since your Alchemy Cathedral insists on cooperating with the extraterrestrial space pollution, we can only wish you good luck. There are so many extraordinary phenomena in the world that need research, and the aberration disaster here in the Golden Federation is just one of them. You are not our only choice.”
Now it was Madimanson’s turn to fall silent. He and his Alchemy Cathedral probably thought they could use the research task of the Wizard Advancement Association to intimidate and force the Elemental Judgement to cooperate with their work.
It seemed that the actual situation was different from what the Alchemy Cathedral had envisioned.
Madimanson pondered for a few seconds, softened his tone, and tried to negotiate:
“Madam, is Elemental Judgement interested in participating in the sealing of the polluted descendants? We can share with you some of the alchemy equipment for the production of all-purpose metal powder. This equipment includes alchemy facilities for mass production of aberrations. You can use this equipment to research Aberration Magic.”
Noland Lee discreetly glanced at Mabel’s expression, wanting to see her reaction.
This was important.
Because he would be discussing cooperation with her later. If Mabel showed hesitation and indecision in the face of Madimanson’s goodwill, then she would not be qualified to be a partner for Noland Lee.
Fortunately, Mabel’s performance was satisfactory.
She firmly shook her head and said:
“Again, I am grateful for the kindness of the Alchemy Cathedral. But my decision will not change.”
After saying this, Mabel closed her mouth and said no more.
Noland Lee silently gave Mabel a thumbs up in his heart, praising her. She had shown the appropriate determination and decisiveness in dealing with matters of principle, and Noland Lee admired her for it. Cooperating with a person like her usually had a low chance of betrayal.
Being met with Mabel’s reaction, Madimanson was somewhat annoyed.
However, he did not show it, maintaining the demeanor of a commander:
“Oh, well. Our Alchemy Cathedral respects the decision of the Elemental Judgement.”
As a matter of courtesy, Madimanson brushed off Mabel and turned to negotiate with the Meaty Eye.
After about half an hour, the two sides drafted a preliminary agreement.
The descendants of the Blood Sun Divine Seal, the Meaty Eye, would, according to the agreement, lift the pollution zone and return to the sealed space. After that, it would serve the Alchemy Cathedral for 50 years, undertaking the task of mass production of aberrations and all-purpose metal powder.
As for the Alchemy Cathedral, they would hand over two “Winged Giants” to the descendants of the Blood Sun Divine Seal. After 50 years, under the supervision of the Alchemy Cathedral, the Meaty Eye would open the Outer Space Gap and return to its origin with the “Winged Giants”. The Alchemy Cathedral would take care of the “Winged Giants” during those 50 years.
Was it a good deal to exchange two “Winged Giants” for 50 years’ worth of all-purpose metal powder production?
Madimanson obviously thought it was a good deal. Ever since the agreement was drafted, he had been radiating a triumphant aura.
Not only did the Alchemy Cathedral gain 50 years of all-purpose metal powder production, but they also had 50 years to study the “Winged Giants”. This deal was a real moneymaker for them.
He, Madimanson, was undoubtedly a great hero.
Similarly, the Meaty Eye had also achieved its goal and could return to its original form with its “uncontrollable pet” in 50 years.
To both parties, this draft was a win-win deal.
Mabel did not express any opinions about the draft but simply witnessed its birth.
As for Noland Lee…
He didn’t think the Alchemy Cathedral had made a profit from the deal…
He only felt that Madimanson and the Alchemy Cathedral had been blinded by ignorance and greed…
Noland Lee had a feeling that the Alchemy Cathedral would be badly cheated by the Meaty Eye.
This was one of Noland Lee’s views.
Second, Noland Lee noticed something strange:
The Alchemy Cathedral seemed to be unaware of Nicolette’s existence.
It wasn’t hard to see from Madimanson’s words that he believed the Meaty Eye was locked directly in the sealed space.
However, in reality, as the contaminant of Blood Sun Seal, the Meaty Eye was attached to the Angel Seed and entered the sealed space along with Nicolette, who contained the Angel Seed.
Without Nicolette’s pure soul and the Angel Seed’s suppression of the Blood Sun Seal’s contamination, the Meaty Eye could open a new Outer Space Gap once it gained enough power.
With the cunning level of the Meaty Eye, it would not be difficult to swindle the two “Winged Giants” from the Alchemy Cathedral into their hands before opening a new Outer Space Gap.
It can be said that the seemingly win-win draft was actually evidence of the Alchemy Cathedral being deceived.
Noland Lee thought about it, and there was only one reason for the perfection of this scam:
That was that among the humans present, only he knew the existence of the Angel Enterprises Alliance. The Meaty Eye also knew the Angel Enterprises Alliance, but it had never mentioned it to people.
Noland Lee looked up at the distant battlefield above him.
During the negotiation of the draft, more Combat Alchemists entered the pollution zone, and the battlefield had gathered more than ten thousand fighters.
The Polluted Angels were controlled by the Meaty Eye and entered a state of being unable to retaliate.
The Combat Alchemists easily defeated more than forty of them.
Under Madimanson’s guidance, only four Polluted Angels survived, two of which were for the Meaty Eye, while the other two would be “gracefully accepted” by the Alchemy Cathedral.
“The Alchemy Cathedral is even more greedy than I thought,” Noland Lee muttered to himself.
Noland Lee threw Deconstruction Technique at the four surviving Polluted Angels, consuming some Energy Points and obtaining a small portion of their personalized panel information.
All of the panel information of these four Polluted Angels listed the “Mental Binding Command” that controlled them.
Noland Lee knew that after leaving Alchemist Island, the greed and ignorance of the Alchemy Cathedral would inevitably plunge Union City into turmoil once again.
But by that time, he would no longer be on Alchemist Island, and the four Mental Binding Commands would have no use.
Moreover, Noland Lee only knew the commands but was not clear about their pronunciation. Even if he were there, he couldn’t pronounce the command correctly and control the Polluted Angels.
In the future turmoil, the external forces that the Alchemy Cathedral can rely on, are estimated to be only the next First-Level Magic Research Institute.
