Chapter 676: 216. Wise People Open Their Minds_2
The seawater outside the house was as clear as the sunlight, with a beautiful glass-like surface, and the faint sound of the tides was the most delightful white noise.
Satisfied by such a peaceful and leisurely environment, Noland Lee decided to reward the snow-winged cat with a small treat before removing an envelope from his bag of letters.
There were three letters in total that arrived in the morning.
The first was from Morster, the temporary commander of the Military Intelligence Division Two of Tatis Empire.
This third-ring metal element wizard wrote that the wizards sent by the Pillar of Ley Lines to conduct preliminary investigations in Tatis were assassinated that evening…
Noland read the content of the letter carefully, and couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth…
The Emperor’s children opposing the wizard forces in the Empire were indeed crazy.
Not only had they used cannons, machine guns, cluster bombs, and other heavy firepower weapons, but they had also dispatched thirty “Imperial Fists.”
If it were not for the wizards of the Pillar of Ley Lines mastering the “Earth Escape Technique” for evasion, they would have undoubtedly fallen victim to a smoky, fiery “enthusiastic welcome.”
In the letter, Morster wrote that the Pillar of Ley Lines was furious about this incident.
However, despite their anger, they wouldn’t give up their hard-won research opportunity to other wizard forces.
As a result, the Pillar of Ley Lines not only refused to let the wizards who had already arrived in Tatis withdraw, but they also applied for the use of a teleportation gate from the Department of Magic, teleporting nearly a hundred wizards there all at once.
The Emperor himself allotted a designated area within the Suffering Borderland for the Pillar of Ley Lines to use.
Until the Undead Cult was eliminated, the Pillar of Ley Lines could not enter the Empire’s heartland.
Similarly, the Emperor’s children must not interfere with the Pillar of Ley Lines’ work in the Suffering Borderland, or they would face punishment for disturbing the Military Management Zone.
It was estimated that within half a month, the base of the Pillar of Ley Lines in the Suffering Borderland would be completed.
At that time, except for the wizards involved in running first-level magic research institutions, all other wizards would be teleported away.
Morster estimated that the number of wizards Pillar of Ley Lines would ultimately leave behind in the local area would reach about three times the expected amount.
It couldn’t be helped…
The Emperor’s children were just too wild.
Without leaving extra personnel, the base might be plucked up along with its foundation.
Morster assured in the letter that the arrival of the Pillar of Ley Lines would not affect his trade with Noland and Kalandi.
Noland put away the letter, replied with a simple note, and then cast aside the messy situation in Tatis.
The second letter was from Comini, the Silent Witch who was currently monitoring the Blood Sun Seal’s descendants in Union City.
Before leaving Union City, Noland had been attacked by a dread demon. Comini stopped the assassination attempt and imprisoned the demon for interrogation.
After half a month, the results of the interrogation came out.
However, it was more accurate to call it a magical dissection of the demon to examine its body for clues.
Comini’s conclusion was:
This dread demon had been hiding in Union City for at least two years. The special dark aura from the Land of Wicked Desolation had become extremely weak on its body. This suggested that since it had been brought into Union City, it had never returned to the Land of Wicked Desolation, nor received nourishment from there.
Who was the person that brought this dread demon to Union City?
Comini could not find the answer yet.
Facing the short content of the letter, Noland shook his head slightly, knowing that Soul Shaper Gilbert Winchester had a significant secret behind him.
If he got the chance, Noland planned to deconstruct Gilbert to see what the wizard was hiding.
The third letter was from Mabel.
She wrote a reply early in the morning,
“I’m delighted to receive your letter, Jarvis. It warms my heart to know how much you think of me. How I wish upon returning to the Ulnas Circle, I could meet someone who cares about my feelings as much as you…”,
“(Omitted several lines, hard to distinguish whether it’s politeness or a genuine expression of feelings)…”,
“Regarding the question you raised in the letter, I have a clear answer.”,
“Perhaps you don’t know that in the field of high-grade alchemy, alchemists have developed alchemy using array spaces to confine energy entities. In this array space, energy entities exist in a pure form, almost consistent with the energy balls summoned by using the Elemental Energy Summoning Technique. The only difference between the two is that the former can only be stored in the array space, while the latter can be temporarily stored in the natural world via our spiritual power. It is because of this that the Ulnas Circle once had a vigorous debate about ‘whether we are living in an array space or not’…”,
Mabel covered nearly 5,000 characters in her letter.
One-third of the text was used to tell Noland about the distressing events she had encountered since returning to the Ulnas Circle, like pouring out her heart to a confidant.
In the rest of the letter, Mabel described the ingenious application of high-grade alchemy to elemental energy and mentioned her conclusions over the past ten years:
Alchemy is an extraordinary power that can rival magic.
Both sides have entered the stage of converting energy into entities in their research. However, for some unknown reason, the Alchemy Cathedral of the Golden Federation remains low-key in its actions, unlike the Ulnas Circle. The Alchemy Cathedral deeply hid their ways of utilizing energy and buried them deep within the sanctuary. Only alchemists of the Alchemy Sage level could glimpse the truth.
