Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 422: 145. Rational Revenge_2

“Let’s agree on this. Whether the Elemental Judgement is willing to talk to me face to face or not, I will help you get Kassandra into the Tribunal.”

Noland Lee shook hands with him:

“A deal is a deal… Life is ridiculous, I, a Sin Soldier, am actually shaking hands with the Chief Officer of Division Intelligence Unit Two.”

“I find it perfectly normal,” Morster laughed:

“The Extraordinary Traits brought by the Star Pollutants are destined for moments like this. It’s the opportunity brought about by the change in strength. You’re not the only one to have this feeling. During my studies in Hotams, I’ve seen at least 20 people who have become high-ranking members overnight due to Star Pollutants. They also took a long time to adapt and realize that they truly had the right to be on par with the previously unattainable people. The World of Wizards is a world of the strong, Jarvis. I admire your strength.”

Noland Lee hummed casually and accepted the praise.

The two looked at the distant battlefield.

Gunfire roared, and energy beams flew chaotically.

The Shubick Tentacles died and were reborn, reborn and died again. Combat Alchemists retreated as soon as they were injured, hiding outside the battlefield and healing themselves with Alchemy potions.

Both sides seemed to be at a stalemate, but the final victory would definitely belong to the Alchemy Cathedral’s army.

The reason is simple: with the extraterrestrial space portal unable to be opened, only the Alchemy Cathedral side can have reinforcements.

At the moment when Noland Lee and Morster finished their conversation, three Alchemy ships flew over from a greater distance and joined the intense battle. These were reinforcements mobilized by the Golden Commerce Guild from other sea areas.

Four alchemy ships, plus at least 400 fifth-order and sixth-rank Combat Alchemists. If they still couldn’t defeat the little avatar of Shubick left in this world, then the Combat Alchemists were really eating for nothing.

Seeing the number of tentacles decreasing under the heavy bombardment, Morster asked:

“Jarvis, you haven’t told me, what’s your relationship with these Alchemists? Can you talk to them?”

“The Alchemists you see are all from the Golden Commerce Guild, which is the largest commercial Alchemist Faction in the Golden Federation. Why? The head of Division Intelligence Unit Two wants to infiltrate the Golden Commerce Guild?” Noland Lee said.

Morster quickly denied:

“No, no, don’t misunderstand. Due to the Alchemy Cathedral’s full responsibility for removing extraterrestrial space pollution, Ulnas Circle couldn’t get samples of the pollutants. My professor asked me to collect some pollution samples and use my mother’s Magic Messenger to send them to Ulnas Circle. These pollution samples will be used to figure out the true origin of these black tentacles.”

“Oh, I see, then follow me, I’ll find someone to explain the situation to you.”

Noland Lee led Morster to fly towards the battlefield.

He found Derek and the Golden Merchant’s Swords resting at the edge of the battlefield.

Noland Lee introduced Morster to Derek as a fellow wizard, without mentioning Morster’s identity in Tatis.

Looking at the friendly interaction between Derek and Morster, Noland Lee laughed inwardly, feeling a wicked pleasure.

Hehe.

If Morster knew that the last batch of Life Elixir was taken away by Derek, the atmosphere between the two would be awkward, enough to make people break their toes.

In other words,

If Derek knew that the Metal Wizard in front of him was involved in creating the Flywing Mutants, the two sides would immediately start fighting.

Noland Lee, as the only insider on the scene, held back his laughter, feeling the sour pleasure of manipulating everything behind the scenes.

“Alright! Strange Wizard! Your offer is good, leave it to me. I will bring you the tentacles.”

Derek patted his chest and took the gold bars Morster handed over.

Morster laughed happily and thanked him.

Noland Lee suppressed the urge to burst out laughing, turned around, and looked at the battlefield.

As the three alchemy ships arrived, they helped the first alchemy ship break free from the bondage of the Tribal Leader of Shubick Descendants. Now, they were bombarding the tentacles and the remains of the teleportation anchor points with dense energy artillery.

It was estimated that in another half an hour or so, this pollution zone would disappear due to the destruction of the tentacles and teleportation anchor points.

Most of Noland Lee’s previous conversation with Morster was based on the deconstruction results, with improvised wording intended to take Morster down.

A small part of this conversation, however, was from his heart.

This part was related to “revenge”.

Noland Lee considered himself a man who followed the principle of “a debt has a debtor; a grudge, a protagonist.”

The incident that occurred with him and the original Noland Lee Jarvis was ultimately caused by the nefarious Death Herald Guild.

To seek retribution, Noland Lee would start with the Death Herald Guild.

As for the experiences during his time as a Sin Soldier in the Suffering Borderland…

Noland Lee thought that, in many cases, military orders were like mountains, and the duty of warrant officers, military officers, and soldiers was to stick to those orders.

Apart from the subjectively evil Military Intelligence Section Two investigators, Noland Lee felt that there was no need for the military officers or soldiers he encountered in the Suffering Borderland to become targets of his revenge.

Moreover, from a more rational perspective, if he wanted to seize something from the Tatis Empire in the future, he could use the guise of “revenge” to threaten them and achieve his goals.

But if he were to create killings based solely on revenge, in the end, except for venting emotions, there would be no substantial gains.

“Revenge” can be used as a banner of justice, which is the mature approach. “Revenge” is a means or tool to achieve some goals, not a life goal.

Otherwise, it would cause significant mental exhaustion and push oneself towards extremism.

This was Noland Lee’s view on revenge.

Noland Lee steadied his mind and softly called in his heart:

“Denise.”

“I’m here! How are you doing? You didn’t have a conflict with that metal series wizard, did you? Why did you suddenly ask me to find out about Adelaide? Could it be that the metal series wizard is Adelaide’s son, Morster? Oh my god~ You just ran into him like that!”

Denise asked a series of questions.

Noland Lee had previously mentioned being entangled with a metal series wizard to her, then inexplicably inquired about Adelaide.

Now, hearing Denise’s anxious tone, Noland Lee knew that he had worried her.

“It’s alright, Denise. I didn’t have a conflict with Morster. I asked about Adelaide to confirm Morster and Adelaide’s relationship to avoid causing greater misunderstandings. In a while, I will return to Union City with the alchemy ships. Don’t worry, we didn’t have a conflict.”

“Phew~ That’s good. You scared me, Noland. If you hadn’t repeatedly stressed that I could only teleport when I received your instructions, I would have already teleported you away.”

Noland Lee said gently:

“I’m sorry, Denise, for making you worry. The incident happened suddenly, and I didn’t have time to explain. Thank you for trusting me and not teleporting over rashly. You did well.”

“Alright, I accept your apology.” Denise giggled and asked expectantly:

“So how many Rebirth Magic Powers did you get this time?”

Noland Lee glanced at the information on the panel about his Soul Strength inventory:

“I encountered many things after entering the pollution zone, which delayed my work in collecting Rebirth Magic Powers. So, the harvest this time is not as much as I had expected.”

“It’s okay, Noland. I’m already satisfied that you can return safely.” Denise’s tone was gentle, without disappointment.

Seeing that everything in the pollution zone had been dealt with and having nothing to do himself, Noland Lee started chatting with Denise.

Listening to the gentle whispers in his ear, he gradually felt that the darkness and oppression within the pollution zone were not as suffocating as before.
