Chapter 664: 212. Neat and tidy_4
This guy looked through everything he had dealt with.
Letters, magical items, dragon clan stele script, contracts, etc.— these extremely secretive and important things were all present in the memory fragment.
Noland Lee also discovered some little secrets about Selena and learned the reason behind her relationship with Fagen.
But this was not the focus for now.
The point was that Dickler Fagen’s collusion with the enemy forces of the Ulnas Circle, the Dread Sail Pirate Nation, was a done deal.
He had the potential to become a Sin Wizard Level Criminal.
However, the problem was that Noland Lee could not take him down with a life and death duel.
As the fifth in line to succeed within the family, Dickler Fagen was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but he had already reached the Seven-Ring Wizard level.
Such a wizard, who has relied on huge magical elixirs and mana supply all the way up, didn’t have much combat power, but he had quite a few combat wizards who could fight on his behalf.
When Noland Lee bragged about wanting to investigate and challenge the other party before, it was just an act to mess with their minds. He wouldn’t treat them like the imposter butler, and use a life and death duel to challenge them.
Otherwise, the enemy he would face would be a Seven-Ring Demon Spirit Wizard, Fagen’s personal magic teacher.
In the situation where Noland Lee did not use his trump card, he would only be taken down instantly, and there was no possibility of defeating the other party.
In addition to the Seven-Ring Demon Spirit Wizard, Fagen may also have a family secret guard around him. This person was like a keystone, and he wouldn’t appear easily.
Noland Lee used [Mage’s Hand] to write several life and death duel applications in quick succession.
This time his duel opponents were several family advisors around Fagen.
The Application Order was held up in the air by [Mage’s Hand], showing the audience around it and letting Selena and Fagen on the second floor open-air see it clearly.
Fagen clenched the railing, his fingers turning white, and his lips pursed tightly.
His originally neatly trimmed brown curly hair was now soaked with sweat, sticking to his forehead, reflecting the light from the water stains.
Fagen knew what was wrong with the family advisors challenged by Noland Lee and knew even better what kind of people those family advisors were.
They were a group of profit-seeking guys who would willingly serve anyone as long as they were tempted with money and benefits.
Fagen was using these people’s greedy nature to provide him with expendable helpers for his cooperation with the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.
Once the cooperation was successful, the mission of these people would be completed.
Fagen would instruct the Demon Spirit Wizard and the family secret guard to clean up the mess, sweeping away all the discordant voices about his “discovery of the seabed mine through unremitting efforts and luck.”
The family advisors, who would be challenged by Noland Lee Jarvis one day, would die, but not now and not at the hands of Noland Lee Jarvis.
Everything was messed up by Noland Lee Jarvis. I hate him!… Rage surged in Fagen’s eyes, and he slapped the railing hard, suppressing an angry roar in his throat.
Something even more upsetting happened.
Those family advisors, who were named by Noland Lee, actually raised their hands and shouted unanimously after exchanging glances:
“Mr. Jarvis! I surrender!”
“Yes! I surrender too! You win!”
“No need to duel! You win!”
“Please spare us, Mr. Jarvis!”
“We are willing to exchange information for our lives!”
Surrendering and losing half is a customary rule in the Realm of Wizards. It is also a duel rule written in Law No. 1.
Unconditionally doing one thing for the winner is what those who surrender or lose in a duel must do.
Noland Lee originally planned to kill Simon first, then expand his results by using the name of life and death duel to gain more energy points and spoils of war rewards…
Now it seemed that he would have to pay the price for his greed.
The impact of launching a life and death duel to multiple family advisors at once was too great and fierce on those with evil intentions, causing their psychological defenses to collapse immediately and voluntarily confess their collusion with the Tide Spy.
At this point, it would be inappropriate for Noland Lee to force them into the Octagon Cage.
He decided to change the plan.
He first loudly announced that he had accepted the surrender of his duel opponents, and then, holding the application order in his hand, shook the document at Selena across the distance of several tens of meters, giving her a “you know” look.
Selena nodded slightly, turned her head, and looked at the distraught Fagen.
After the family advisors voluntarily surrendered, Fagen’s face turned pale, and his eyes were in a daze.
Not only did Selena notice Fagen’s abnormality, but everyone present also noticed his soulless appearance.
Combined with the words Noland Lee said before the duel, the topic of “whether Young Master Fagen was really plotting with the Tide Spy” became the most popular topic among the visiting guests.
What followed was how to distance themselves from Young Master Fagen so as not to get burned and to attract the investigation by the Enforcement Wizards and the Deep Sea Branch.
Some visitors were not close to Fagen and didn’t have to worry about getting involved. Their thoughts were focused on inquiring about Noland Lee’s origins, and they gradually learned about Noland Lee’s deeds in the past half a month.
