Chapter 503: 164. Silent Visitor_2

After ensuring that he left no clues behind, Noland Lee began to control his arms to drill through the rubble heap, heading to reunite with his body.

As for the act of killing Nikcat, would it put a bounty on his head?

There’s no need to worry about that.

The battlefield was located in the underground area of Sector 6. This place is officially designated by the Alchemy Cathedral as the “Red-Name Area”, where life and death duels can be conducted without restrictions.

Noland Lee killing Nikcat here would not violate the laws of the Golden Federation or the Ulnas Circle.

Half an hour later.

Noland Lee picked up the bone arm on the ground and attached it to his shoulder.

With two crisp “clacks”, the bone arm, which had been long separated from the body, returned to its place.

Noland Lee stowed away the Tubular Excavation Device into the Blood Haven, and picked up Nikcat’s magic pouch for a closer look.

The original owner had left a magic lock on this item.

As Nikcat died, the magic lock dissipated along with him.

However, there was no guarantee that the magic pouch didn’t have any magic traps or magic mechanisms inside.

Magic locks are usually linked to the Wizard’s Spiritual Ocean. When the Wizard dies, the magic locks naturally lift.

—The magic locks on the magic books carried by Fugidia, Gardner, Kevin, and Sheldon Archer were evidently from their professors, so that’s why they remained after their deaths. When Noland Ly analyzed and unlocked the magic lock, he was not detected by their professors, thanks to the System’s help.

Magic traps and magic mechanisms, on the other hand, are driven by independent Magic Circles. The life and death of the Wizard wouldn’t influence the functioning of the magic traps and magic mechanisms.

Noland Lee checked the memory fragments of Nikcat and saw that he had stored a large amount of bone material in the magic pouch, and recently acquired a Sage Particle that had just entered an ownerless state.

A magic trap that could be triggered by an incorrect gesture was hidden among the mountain of bone material.

This magic trap should be the only trick left in the magic pouch.

Noland Lee sent a Deconstruction Technique toward the magic pouch.

He needed 3000 energy points to deconstruct this magic pouch.

In order to ensure that the process of opening the magic pouch goes flawlessly, and also to keep this magic pouch that had a capacity of up to 50 cubic meters, Noland Lee decided to spend the huge sum of 3000 points to analyze it and get the correct handle gesture.

After a faint sense of loss, Noland Lee learned the correct way to use this magic pouch.

He lifted his right bone hand, bent his middle and ring fingers, and brought the tips of these two fingers to meet the tip of his thumb.

Only by sticking his hand in the magic pouch with this gesture, could he ensure that he would not trigger the magic trap.

Noland Lee had to be very careful.

Because the magic trap in the magic pouch was not used to attack “thieves”, but to destroy the contents and the magic pouch itself. The smallest error could result in the destruction of this magic pouch, which was valued at over 300 gold coins.

For Noland Lee now, 300 gold coins were just a drop in the bucket, but it was a waste if he could save it.

Noland Lee maintained the gesture on his hand, rummaged through the pile of bone material in the magic pouch, and found the hidden magic trap.

This was a magic bone wand inscribed with a level 60 ‘High-Explosion Magic Array’, its power was enough to tear the magic pouch apart from the inside out.

Noland Lee took it out of the pocket, and made a few modifications to the Magic Array pattern on it using the Rune Staff.

Only after the Magic Array, which was flashing with flames on the magic bone wand, has dimmed, did Noland Lee breathe a sigh of relief.

“Excellent~”

Noland Lee weighed the magic pouch in his hand, changing the gesture as he reached in, taking out items at will. From now on, this thing belonged to him, Noland Lee.

“Thanks to Brother Nikcat for this magic pouch~ Such a generous man~”

Noland Lee flashed a smile, took a look at the items in the pouch, a faint disappointment flashed in his eyes.

“Eh, there’s nothing related to the soul contract, just bone material, and more bone material, not even a backup magic wand or magic robe.”

Noland Lee transferred the fragments of corpses in the Blood Haven to the magic pouch.

He hid the magic pouch inside his magic robe, planning to take some time to go to the Cat Society Manor and remodel the magic pouch once he returned to the surface.

Just need to change the patterns and wording on the pouch’s surface, and destroy the bone material inside, then it would truly belong to him, Noland Lee.

Stabilizing his mind, brushed off the distractions from his heart, Noland Lee stepped into the staircase leading to the next level.

“The Sage Particle I got from Nikcat’s magic pouch produces stone bricks. As long as it’s regularly supplied with any type of soil, it can produce 3000 ordinary clay bricks per day. If the Construct Value of the Sage Particle is improved, the output can be raised to 5000. But uh… are clay bricks suitable for building houses on islands?”

Noland Lee pondered in silence.

He wasn’t a Civil Engineering genius in his previous life and knew absolutely nothing about the construction industry.

He was clueless about what kind of soil to use, how to build a foundation, let alone building a small cottage on an island.

“Well, I guess I should focus on collecting Sage Spaces that produce food ingredients. Building a small cottage on the island, I’ll leave that to the professionals on Suman Archipelago.”

Noland Lee nodded, calmed down, and began to carefully search for other Sage Spaces.

Half a month passed in day-to-day busyness.

The turmoil caused by the Pollution Zone gradually subsided, and the Union City Undercity was completely restored to peace. The production enthusiasm triggered by the Reconstruction Corridor drove every alchemy workshop to run at full speed, producing building materials day and night.
