Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 487: 159. Wholesale purchase_3

The “lock” that trapped this magic book was a magic lock. It was a unique kind of lock that bound the whole book with a blood-red magic lock chain.

Noland Lee cast the Deconstruction spell on the magic book with the magic lock.

[System Message:]

[You are about to cast the “Deconstruction” spell on the “locked magic book”.]

[Based on your magic knowledge skills and knowledge reserve, you need to consume 9760 points of energy first, to unlock the magic book, then it will cost 20000 energy points to safely deconstruct the magic book.]

[Do you confirm the deconstruction?]

Noland Lee read the system message and felt a little surprised.

What does “consume 9760 energy points to crack the magic lock” mean?

Noland Lee was a bit baffled.

Wasn’t he supposed to use the Rune Staff to crack the magic lock as guided by the Deconstruction Results?

But as per the system message, he just needed to use the Deconstruction spell and he would break the magic lock. There was no need for hands-on operation.

This was indeed a little unexpected.

Also, would there be a spell animation for cracking the magic lock?

It would be quite embarrassing if he unlocked the magic lock and made the blood-red spell chain, which wrapped “Night Mother’s Apples”, disappear in front of Mable.

Noland Lee, curious and expectant, recited “confirm deconstruction” silently.

A sense of obscurity swept through his mind, and a long system message appeared before his eyes.

Noland Lee looked at the system text briefly, then looked at the unchanged spells lock chain, his heart missing a beat.

It really worked!

He only needed to deconstruct the magic lock on the book with the Deconstruction spell, and he could peek into the contents of the book! This was completely different from manually removing an alchemy array seal!

How could this be…

Noland sighed continuously in his heart, maintaining a composed pose on his face.

At the moment his thoughts were crashing into each other, Fugidia’s personal items were completely sorted.

Mabel picked up the items on the table and put them into Fugidia’s magic pouch, then she took out Gardner’s personal items and placed them on the table.

Noland temporarily suppressed his thoughts, watching Mabel’s actions.

Mabel opened Gardner’s magic pouch and poured the contents onto the table.

Among various items, there was a dull stone pendant.

The stone pendant had a lot of complicated and dense magical runes. In the middle, there was a stone pattern of a wing-opened Samuelson.

Noland cast the Deconstruction spell, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

He had found it.

This was the mind-based magic tool that recorded “River of Mind – lower volume”.

The system reminded it would take 30,000 points of energy to do a harmless deconstruction.

Without any hesitation, Noland directly recited, “Confirm Deconstruction”.

The “River of Mind – lower volume” came to belong to Noland.

Similar to the first two volumes, this volume’s integrity was very low, only at 10%.

With a total consumption of nearly 100,000 energy points, Noland successfully stored the knowledge of Night Spirit’s Death-type magic and the “River of Mind – lower volume” in his mind.

Noland glanced at the Deconstruction Results.

The magic book of the Night Spirit Branch was called “Night Mother’s Apples”.

After Noland deconstructed the magic lock of this book, he got two Knowledge Skills.

One was the “Magic Lock Studies”, now at Level 3.

The other was “Flesh Construction Learning”, now at Level 1. This is a must-learn scholarly skill to control Blood Magic Power. It recorded the physiological construction map of common living creatures. The system reminded him that if used with a variant of “Tracking the Living”, namely, “Peering at the Living,” the effects would be marvelous.

In the book “Night Mother’s Apples,” in addition to the general knowledge content on Blood Magic and Death Magic, nine most commonly used spells by the Night Spirit Witches were recorded.

The integrity of these nine spells was only around 15%, reducing their power significantly, and they could only be used by a witch or a blood servant.

If Noland wanted to forcefully use the Night Spirit Spells, he would have to first turn himself into a witch or a blood servant.

To turn himself into a witch would mean to become a follower of a Night Spirit Witch, which was impractical. Denise Green would surely be the first to oppose this.

Noland quietly decided that in the future he must sell these nine spells at a good price to compensate for his invested energy points.

Mabel was checking Gardner’s items.

She pointed at the stone pendant on the table and asked:

“Why is there a Samuelson amulet in Gardner’s magic pouch? Did they defeat Samuelson before they died in battle with Kevin?”

Mabel reached into Kevin’s magic pouch. She rummaged inside before taking out a worn-out magic robe. The magic robe had the pattern of a “Scythehead” on it, which was the one the Soul-stealing Wizard wore when he was alive.

“This is the property of the Soul-stealing Wizard.” After looking at the robe in her hands, Mabel sighed lightly and said:

“Ah. It appears that the real situation was different from what I previously thought. Gardner and Kevin must have killed Samuelson and the Soul-stealing Wizard before they were turned into Contaminant Byproducts by the descendants of the Blood Sun Seal… The damn descendants, they must have ambushed Gardner and his people.”

Noland blinked his eyes and followed Mabel’s thought process, figuring out her meaning.

After Mabel entered the Pollution Zone, she only saw the contaminated Gardner and Kevin, but did not find any trace of Samuelson and the Soul-stealing Wizard.
