Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 253 - 253: 115. Knowledge Windfall

Noland Lee remained unmoved, pretending not to hear them.

He took the invitation and glanced over it briefly.

The invitation was issued by Philia, who agreed to meet at Cat Society Manor in Sector 8 before the arrival of the Spray Powder Day.

From the address, the manor was located in the core area of Sector 8, near the Great Rift.

The invitation did not mention any other content, and Noland subconsciously felt that this should not be just a simple visit to the manor.

It might be true as Cindy guessed, that the Cat Society wants Noland to switch to their side.

Of course, the switching here refers to an overt change in identity, from a security personnel of the Iron Thorn Shield to a staff member of the Cat Society.

Not from a Wandering Wizard of the “Sleeping Monument Master” to a Wizard of Elemental Judgement.

Noland gave it some thought, accepted the invitation, and decided to go take a look and broaden his horizons.

Noland waved the invitation in his hand:

“Thank you, Cindy. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.”

“There is actually something I’d like to discuss with you.” Cindy smiled and said:

“Have you ever thought about moving to a different place? The president and I have talked about finding you a spacious and comfortable house nearby. I’ve already picked one out. As long as you agree, you can move in anytime.”

Without waiting for Noland’s response, Cindy furrowed her brow, looking troubled:

“Honestly, we’ve hosted quite a few wandering wizards before. But you’re different from them. You’re more reserved and simple, living like an ascetic, yet not feeling any hardship. Others, once they arrive here, blatantly reveal their identity and demand us to do this and that. It’s my first time encountering such a low-profile guest like you, so I always feel like I’m not doing enough…”

It seems that my thorough cleaning of the third underground level has been discovered by the Iron Thorn Shield. The invitation from Elemental Judgement also confirms my identity as a wandering wizard.

Noland nodded to himself.

He knew that he needed to make some changes to match the conclusions others had drawn from observing him, or else it would backfire.

“Looks like my low-profile style has troubled you a lot, Cindy.” Noland shook his head slightly and said:

“It’s due to my personality and the education I’ve received… However, you’re right, I should make some adjustments. If you don’t mind, after I return to the dormitory, I’ll pack my things and move into the house you’ve chosen.”

“I’ve been waiting for you to say that.” Cindy’s face brightened up like a clear sky after rain, and she handed over a key ring:

“These are the keys to the house. The address is written on the attached tag. If you need any housekeeping services, just let me know. There will be someone to serve you daily meals and take care of your daily needs. If you find them to be a nuisance, you can dismiss them.”

Noland took the key ring and weighed it in his hand:

“You’ve made very thoughtful arrangements… I’ll be staying in Sector 7 for a while. If you need my help during that time, feel free to reach out. Of course, remuneration will be discussed separately.”

“No problem,” Cindy said, relieved, as if she had just completed an important task.

She pulled an alchemy contract out of her pendant again, which was related to the identity card.

Cindy stuffed the contract into Noland’s hand and seemed to complain:

“And this contract, I’ll give it to you as well… Seriously, you should stop borrowing Empire people’s identities in the future; it can cause a lot of misunderstandings.”

“Alright, I got it.” Noland accepted the contract, his expression unchanged.

Ha.

If I could have found the mark of the “Sleeping Monument Master” in Greenshaw’s memory earlier, I would have certainly posed as a wandering wizard.

But I couldn’t find it, so I had to disguise myself as an escaped death experiment subject.

However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Having one more layer of disguise adds more security.

Noland put away the alchemy contract book and the key ring but didn’t hurry away. Instead, he asked while standing there:

“Cindy, you mentioned that you’ve dealt with many people similar to me? Are they still in Sector 7?”

Cindy shook her head, her hair swinging like a waterfall:

“They’ve all left. I can confirm that there are no other guests in the sector beneath our feet, except for you.

“As for other sectors, hmm, there are quite a few guests like you. They received invitations from the Alchemist Association and stay there permanently.

“Our Golden Commerce Guild is in the business of trade, with no interest in battles and with no desire to research extraordinary items, so those guests only stay temporarily with us before switching to other alchemist factions.” “Oh, I see. No wonder you thought I would switch to the Cat Society earlier.” Noland seemed to understand and nodded.

Cindy was right. Wandering wizards aren’t interested in doing business, as they all carry specific experience tasks.

No matter which faction’s wandering wizard, once they arrive in Union City, they quickly integrate with the relevant Alchemist Association.

After all, they arrive carrying the experience tasks given by their respective professors, so they can’t waste time at the Golden Commerce Guild.

It’s essential to join the Alchemist Association as soon as possible, engage in deep exchanges, and complete experience tasks.

As a group of businessmen, the Golden Commerce Guild values the principle of being inclusive and open to all; they don’t reject anyone.

Wizards from any faction can enjoy equal treatment here without worrying about being discriminated against..
