Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 488: 159. Wholesale purchase_4

Noland timely interjected:

“Mabel, I saw two charred piles of ash in the Grand Hall of the Spire. Those should be the remains of Samuelson and the Soul-stealing Messenger. Would you like to go and see?”

Mabel immediately stated that she wanted to verify the situation.

She flew away on her magic broom, leaving Noland to guard the relics in the corridor.

Seizing the opportunity, Noland cast Deconstruction at the magic books Gardner was carrying.

Just like when deconstructing “Night Mother’s Apples,” he first consumed about 10,000 energy points to deconstruct the magic lock, after which he consumed another 30,000 energy points to harmlessly deconstruct the book’s content.

After this operation, Noland successfully added 20% complete “Elemental History” to his collection.

“Magic Lock Studies” skill level increased by +1. A new knowledge skill called “Four Elements Study” has been added, currently at level 5.

“Four Elements Study” introduces the four elemental sub-dimensional planes of this world and the simple elemental reactions. Noland puts these contents aside for now as he doesn’t need them at the moment.

Other than “Four Elements Study,” Noland also gained four spell blueprints, all of which were 20% complete.

These four spell blueprints corresponded to the summoning methods for the elemental energies of water, wind, earth, and fire.

“Elemental History” recorded more than just these four spells.

But Noland only obtained these four.

This indicated that the other spells all had “mental pollution” and were directly deleted by the system during the harmless deconstruction process.

Elemental energy and elemental reactions are profound knowledge, and Noland plans to study them further later on. For now, he puts them aside.

Ten minutes later, Mabel returned.

She had confirmed that Gardner and Kevin killed Samuelson and the Soul-stealing Wizard before their own deaths.

Clarifying this part of the truth didn’t make her happy, but rather added to her confusion.

Why couldn’t Gardner and Kevin prevent the appearance of the Pollution Zone even after Samuelson and the Soul-stealing Wizard had died?

After hearing her doubts, Noland shook his head secretly, choosing not to speak.

Noland knew the answer, but sadly, he couldn’t say it.

This history would be buried, and only he and the Blood Sun Seal would know it.

After taking Nicolette’s soul from the Soul-stealing Wizard’s soul, Noland saw the wizard’s soul fly into the crack of the Nest Core. After that, the red smoke spewed out of the crack, forming the Pollution Zone.

Noland saw the actions of the Soul-stealing Wizard as a kind of sacrifice. The wizard sacrificed his own soul to help the descendants of the Blood Sun Divine Seal start the Pollution Zone.

Noland also knew why the Soul-stealing Wizard would willingly sacrifice himself.

“Corrupted by the Blood Sun Seal” was explicitly written on the Soul-stealing Wizard’s panel information—He sacrificed himself because the Blood Sun Seal forced him to do so.

However, these things couldn’t be explained. Noland obtained them all using Deconstruction.

Oh well, sometimes knowing too much feels heavy; that’s how he felt now.

Noland sighed secretly.

Thankfully, he had Denise Green to confide in, so he wouldn’t be suffocated by secrets.

After Mabel counted Gardner and Kevin’s belongings, she took out Sheldon Archer’s belongings.

Sheldon Archer carried a magic book called “Death Wizard Diary.”

This magic book is what Sheldon used to review spell blueprints.

Noland, as usual, cast Deconstruction on the book, spending tens of thousands of energy points to obtain its contents.

New scholarly skill “Death Magic Study” added, currently at level 10. It records the panel information of all common death magic creations. Noland can enjoy an energy point discount when deconstructing such items in the future.

New spell blueprint “Death Flight” added.

Noland had been coveting this flight spell for a long time and directly consumed 1 point of energy to learn it.

Noland checked his gains. All the spoils of war he had planned to collect were now in his possession. There was nothing else worth staying for in this Pollution Zone.

The harvest this time was beyond imagination. Energy points and Soul Strength skyrocketed, and before leaving, he obtained the contents of the magic books “Night Mother’s Apples,” “Elemental History,” and “Death Wizard Diary” through wholesale-like deconstruction.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe the harvest as plentiful.

Now, it was time to strengthen his persona in front of Mabel.

“Mabel, I’ll go ahead.”

Noland said to Mabel, who was looking at him:

“We’ll meet in Union City. Please keep my identity and my relationship with Denise a secret for now. Thank you again.”

As he spoke, a torch-like light appeared beside Noland.

Denise Green appeared beside Noland, skillfully holding his arm. Her witch’s robe shone in the firelight, casting a curvy silhouette on the wall.

After nodding to Mabel, the torch in Denise’s hand emitted a strong light.

When the light faded, Noland was no longer in the corridor.

Mabel stared at the spot where Noland disappeared in a trance.

Undoubtedly, Denise’s appearance confirmed that what Noland had said was true—he was indeed a powerful, mysterious, and low-key male wizard.

Thinking of how this male wizard intended to collaborate with her in the field of magic knowledge, anticipation appeared in Mabel’s eyes.

Meanwhile, on a low mountain tens of kilometers away from Union City.

Two figures appeared in the flickering firelight.

It was noon now.

Under the scorching sun, the spotted forest was eerily silent.

Denise extinguished the torch in her hand, released Noland’s arm, and said with a flushed face:

“Oh my…why did you have me hold your arm in front of others, then take you away…”

Noland changed back to human form, touched his nose bridge, and scanned the neatly arranged alchemy briefcases on the ground.

He laughed softly, saying:

“Don’t overthink it, Denise. I arranged it this way to make Mabel truly believe in my identity. This will help us sell these more than 1,200 alchemy armaments.”

“Oh…”
