Chapter 613: 197. Convicted at a glance
“Sir, I have brought the transaction contracts for the three islands.”
In the guest room of the Island Exchange, Nelly sat down with a smile and spread out the three contracts on the table.
Her attentive service and company earned her the appropriate rewards.
After circling the east side of the archipelago three tis, Noland Lee finally settled on the islands he wished to purchase.
The islands that caught his eye were Snow Mountain Island 1, No.112333 and No.112332 small islands. The total cost of these three islands was 112,000 gold coins.
The island’s owner, the Pangula Family, had entrusted the island’s ownership certificate to the Exchange.
Noland Lee first made a transaction contract with the Island Exchange, paying 112,000 gold coins. Then, according to their contract with the Pangula Family, the Exchange would retrieve the island’s ownership certificate from the magic-guarded library and trade it with the ownership transfer contract that the Pangula Family was about to sign with Noland Lee.
Once the transfer contract was signed, Noland Lee would officially own the three islands, becoming their owner.
All three ownership certificates were recognized and protected by the Ulnas Circle. As long as Noland Lee didn’t beco an enemy of the Ulnas Circle, his ownership of the islands would not be revoked by the Departnt of Magic.
After completing the transfer of ownership, the matter was not over.
Noland Lee upgraded the security services of the islands at a cost of 100 gold coins per island per month.
He paid 300 gold coins for it.
For the next month, he no longer needed to personally guard his islands. The Deep Sea Branch’s outposts and magic watchtowers set up near the islands would help him protect them.
The magic watchtowers would patrol the islands every two hours, flying over them and using wide-range detection magic to ensure the natural resources on the islands were not damaged.
With the upgraded security services, Noland Lee no longer needed to worry about his islands and could focus on more important matters.
Under Nelly’s farewell, Noland Lee left the Island Exchange and arrived at the Island Affairs Departnt in the Trade District.
This was the administrative agency of the Suman Archipelago under the Deep Sea Branch, with the wizards of the Deep Sea Branch responsible for all functions.
Noland Lee signed the Law Enforcent Wizard Co-defense Appointnt Order with Selena.
Folding this appointnt order would serve as a pass to enter and exit the Island Affairs Departnt.
With this pass, Noland Lee had unhindered access to the Island Affairs Departnt guarded by combat wizards.
He ca here to undertake bounty tasks.
Ordinary enforcent wizards would need to pay a security deposit to take on bounty tasks here, and the scope of the tasks they could undertake would be limited.
Noland Lee did not have such restrictions. His appointnt order symbolized Selena’s trust and recognition in him.
He didn’t need to pay a security deposit to undertake tasks and could even get involved in tasks directly related to the Deep Sea Branch.
When Selena granted him the appointnt order, she had one request: to help the Deep Sea Branch identify items related to the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.
After all, Selena was the Deputy Dean of the Deep Sea Branch, and Noland Lee couldn’t possibly run to her repeatedly. So, she specifically arranged a liaison for him in the Island Affairs Departnt.
If Noland Lee needed to undertake bounty tasks or fulfill their agreent to identify items, he could simply contact the liaison.
The liaison was nad Jenela, a Five-ring Deep Sea Witch, a non-combat wizard, whose position was Bounty Task Agent.
She had her own office room within the Island Affairs Departnt and was specifically responsible for receiving law enforcent wizards with appointnt orders.
When Noland Lee entered Jenela’s office, the mature witch in her thirties recognized him instantly with her sparkling eyes.
“You must be Noland Lee Jarvis, right? Miss Selena Williams ntioned you to .” Jenela had black long hair and wore a deep blue magic robe similar to a hooded cloak.
Seeing that Noland Lee had arrived, she used the [Mage’s Hand] to bring a tea cup and invited him to sit down.
Noland Lee didn’t want to waste ti on pleasantries, so he got straight to the point:
“Yes, that’s . I ca here to find a simple bounty task to hone my skills.”
Jenela nodded and said:
“I figured as much. Please wait a mont, and I’ll help you search.”
On Jenela’s desk, there was a transparent glass pipeline that inclined upward from the table, about 20 centiters in diater.
She raised her right hand and reached into the pipeline.
Her right hand transford from flesh and blood into a water stream that flowed down along the pipeline.
Maintaining this position for about three minutes, more than a dozen bucket-shaped tal boxes appeared in the glass pipeline, brought up by the water stream.
The tal boxes, wrapped in the water stream, left the pipeline and stood upright on the table.
Jenela’s right hand returned to normal.
There was not a single drop of water left on the table, glass pipeline, or tal boxes.
Noland Lee praised with admiration:
“Impressive Deep Sea Magic Control Power.”
“Thank you.” Jenela smiled and swept her arm across the table:
“Please take a look. These 14 bounty tasks are suitable for law enforcent wizards who are new to the Suman Archipelago. However, please do not touch the task order. The tal boxes containing the task orders have the nas of the task initiators, bounties, task briefings, deadlines, and other information written on them. You can only open the tal boxes and read the detailed information in the task orders once you have decided to take on the task. We arrange it this way to prevent the personal information of the task initiators from being leaked, and we hope you can understand why we do that.”
