Constructing-Style Wizard

Reluctantly, Sienna grimaced and entered the Magic Training Room under Kaiden’s watch.

“Meow~”

Noland Lee was practicing Forging Body Movements at a depth of about two meters underwater when the meowing representing the receipt of a letter from the Magic Messenger echoed in his mind.

Noland Lee’s Forging Body Movement hadn’t finished yet.

He didn’t bother with the letter. He’d let his Snow-winged Cat hold on to it for now. He estimated it was sent either by Kalandi or Morster.

Practicing Forging Body Movements underwater was a bold attempt inspired by a sudden whim from Noland Lee.

With the help of the “Underwater Breathing Potion”, he adapted to the pressure of two meters deep and the corrosive properties of seawater.

The “Water Elemental Shield” performed remarkably well against the corrosion of seawater.

After applying the “Water Elemental Shield”, the negative effects of the deep-sea water were offset by the shield value.

Different levels of negative effects deduct shield value equal to the level divided by ten. The deduction cycle is equivalent to the triggering judgment time point.

For instance, within this sea area number 3, every 35 minutes, Noland Lee’s “Water Elemental Shield” loses 10 shield points due to the negative effects.

Once Noland Lee confirmed that corrosive seawater could be blocked by the shield, he began to study the impact of water pressure on himself.

He found that the shield couldn’t resist water pressure.

Under the effect of the water pressure, the water membrane tightly adhered to Noland Lee’s skin. The water pressure was transmitted to Noland Lee’s body through the contact of the water membrane and the skin, meaning he was bearing all the water pressure.

Could he use “Magic Control Mastery” to transform the shield from the water membrane into a shell-shaped appearance, thus repelling the seawater from his body?

Noland Lee tried and found he could. However, the difficulty was immense.

Almost at the moment when the water membrane was about to leave the surface of his body, the shield value immediately dropped by more than 80 points.

Noland Lee quickly stopped his attempt.

He understood very quickly why.

In an underwater environment, using a shield to push the seawater away from your body is equivalent to creating a vacuum around your body.

The pressure difference between the vacuum environment and the seawater pressure is astonishing.

So, don’t think about using the “Magic Shield” to push the seawater away from your body, just honestly bear the water pressure with your body.

Otherwise, you can only look for opportunities to learn deep-sea magic and master the Deep Sea Spell which allows free movement underwater.

Once Noland Lee understood this, he started using the pressure of the seawater to cultivate the Forging Body Movements.

It was strenuous and sticky. Every movement he made was met with great resistance, causing inevitable deformation in his Forging Body Movements.

Just one minute after receiving the letter, Noland Lee barely completed a set of Forging Body Movements.

The system sent a message saying that the action completion was a pitiful 3%. He won barely any experience.

Noland Lee had initially thought that practicing Forging Body Movements underwater would give him a special bonus. It seems he deceived himself.

However, it couldn’t be said definitively yet.

“When my ‘Tenacity’ and ‘Strength’ improve a little more, I’ll try again. Maybe when I manage to achieve above 60% action completion underwater, a special effect will appear.”

With these thoughts in mind, Noland Lee moved the seawater and surfaced.

He cast “Death Flight”, flew out of the sea, and landed on the beach of Snow Mountain Island 1.

Summoning the Snow-winged Cat to deliver the letter and rewarding it with a small treat, Noland Lee saw his cat off.

He glanced at the text on the envelope and queried when he surprisingly discovered that the message was from the professor.

Upon opening the envelope, Noland Lee gave an embarrassed smile.

A man who claimed to be the steward and the inheritor of the Pangula Family asked Professor Erica about Noland Lee’s gender…

Professor Erica specially wrote to inquire whether or not she should respond to him.

The professor didn’t ask in the letter about the relationship between Noland Lee and the other person, or how they met.

Noland Lee guessed that this person who claimed to be the steward is probably related to the island he purchased recently.

Because among the recent things that Noland Lee has done, only this one is related to the Pangula Family.

Noland Lee took out pen and paper and after some contemplation, wrote a reply to Erica explaining the situation, and asked her to truthfully tell that steward his real gender.

Having done this, Noland Lee looked out over the sea with his thoughts churning.

He has finally drawn the attention of the Pangula Family.

This was within his expectations.

He has purchased a total of five islands and each one had its resources already mined.

In the eyes of the Pangula Family, these five islands are empty shells, with only the rocks, soil, and forests being valuable, while everything else is worthless.

But Noland went ahead and bought all five of these islands.

Even if the Pangula Family holds in contempt these islands that have had their resources harvested, they would still find the situation rather strange.

This was the attention that Noland Lee wanted to draw.

According to Noland Lee’s speculation, the one who claims to be the steward must be investigating the true origin of Noland Lee.

There’s a high chance that he will be invited for a face-to-face meeting to assess the situation. This involves complexities such as the internal politics of a large family, making more friends makes more paths, and so on.

As Noland Lee doesn’t currently know who is interested in him, he can only consider all possible situations and prepare countermeasures in advance.

If he could establish a friendly cooperative relationship with them at their first meeting, then the islands he bought can be liquidated faster and converted into actual profits.
