Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 255 - 255: 115. Knowledge Windfall_6

With a look of surprise and admiration, she took a step down and came to Noland, extending her right hand to greet him gently.

“Welcome, Ray Lee. We are delighted that you accepted our invitation.”

The distance between the two narrowed, and Philia noticed from Noland’s facial expression that he had made modifications to his appearance.

Philia didn’t find it inappropriate, as covering one’s face is common among wandering wizards.

She maintained her composure with a smile and led Noland up the stepstone.

The two walked into the spacious castle hall, strolling on the mirror-like marble ground tiles and passing through several exhibition rooms displaying Alchemy work of the Cat Society.

“Our Elemental Judgment headquarters is located in the Ulnas Circle. The wizard’s base here in Union City is one of the three First Level Magic Research

Institutes affiliated with the Elemental Judgment, as well as the location of the Academy for Elemental Judgment Wizard Students.”

Philia explained while walking.

After introducing Elemental Judgment, she shifted the topic toward the Life Essence Society.

The Life Essence Society focuses on optimizing life forms.

They use Alchemy to extend the lifespan of living beings, remove diseases, hidden ailments, and defects, striving to elevate each life form to a state of perfection.

The Cat Society is a legitimate extraordinary force that specializes in optimizing cat-like life forms.

Ordinary house cats and wild cats are studied by common pet research institutes.

Magic cats are the main subjects of the Cat Society.

The Cat Society domesticates Magic Cats, monitors their extraordinary traits, understands their habits, explores the functions of their magical organs, and investigates their evolutionary pathways.

All these efforts serve the Alchemy materials related to Magic Cats.

These Alchemy materials require the usage of parts from the Magic Cats’ bodies.

The higher the life level of the Magic Cat, the better the quality of Alchemy materials it can contribute.

As for the yield of Alchemy materials, it depends on how to breed Magic Cats on a large scale.

Overall, after taking a tour, Noland Lee had a definitive assessment of the Cat Society.

It is an Alchemist Faction specializing in breeding and improving Magic Cats, with Elemental Judgment as its financier.

There are many types of Magic Cats.

Their extraordinary abilities involve the four basic elements: wind, fire, water, and earth.

Other magic beasts’ extraordinary abilities are not as comprehensive as Magic Cats, only involving one to three of the four basic elements.

Probably because Magic Cats can master magic from all four elemental series, Elemental Judgment chose the Cat Society as its legitimate identity.

Elemental Judgment so openly revealed its background to pave the way for the upcoming exchange.

As Noland sat down in the small guest room, he looked at Philia across the table and patiently waited for her to get to the main point.

Philia gradually shifted the topic to the Blackbone Hermit.

“Our initial conflict with the Blackbone Hermit began half a year ago,” Philia said slowly.

“In Underground Layer 11 to 15 of Sector 8, there is a large Demon Rat Nest. In the past, we sent people to hunt Demon Rats every month, taking the demon meat materials for making cat food. Everything went smoothly until half a year ago when the illegal forces of the Black City discovered it, and the Blackbone Secret Society occupied the Demon Rat Nest. The conflict between us and the Blackbone Hermit ensued.’

“So you’ve always wanted to drive away the Blackbone Hermit occupying the Demon Rat Nest, right?”

“Yes.” Philia nodded and her pretty face darkened:

“But as you know, elemental magic can’t do much to Blackbone Hermits. We’ve been seeking help from wizards of other factions…however, don’t get me wrong, Ray Lee, my invitation isn’t to force you to join the fight against the Blackbone Hermit. I actually wanted to ask for your help in debugging

Death-type Magic Artifacts.”

“Debugging magical items?” Noland was taken aback by this answer, caught off guard. He thought they had invited him to strategize.

“We’ve created a magical item ourselves that can release a Death Pulse. It’s essentially functional, but it sometimes has weird glitches.”

Philia stood up, took a metal box from the cupboard in the guest room, and placed it on the tabletop between them, opening it.

A threaded magic wand was revealed to Noland.

This wand was thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom, with a round ball-shaped black gem at the front end and a sharp point at the tail end, resembling a bee sting.

It was about 1.2 meters long, weighing approximately 6 kilograms – a wand that could be used with one or both hands.

The sunlight outside the room shone on it, reflecting a bright glow.

Noland took a closer look; the wand was not made of metal but a smooth-surfaced tree root.

The black gem embedded at the front end was secured by the tangle of root hairs.

Noland’s gaze moved along the surface of the wand, deeply observing every detail.

A series of deconstruction techniques followed his gaze, landing on various parts of the wand.

Noland spent some energy points to perform a simple deconstruction of the wand in front of him.

He reviewed the deconstruction result in his mind and slowly said: “Philia, let me guess, does this wand occasionally leak death energy?”

Philia’s eyes brightened, her voice filled with hope:

“That’s right. You truly are a Death Series Wizard, immediately identifying the problem. So do you know how to fix this issue? If you need a reward, just name your price..”
