Chapter 911: 284. In a great hurry_3
“`
Phenona inherent to the Sub-Dinsional Plane cannot be used for mana extraction.
The Natural World is, for now, the only place where mana can be extracted.
Of all the magic stones collected from the Natural World by the wizard community, only about 10% are used by wizards to practice their ditation thods, while the rest are invested in maintaining the Sub-Dinsional Planes.
In other words, wizards are mana transporters.
They extract mana from the Natural World, transport it to the Sub-Dinsional Plane, and put it into the plane devices, turning it into the soil, air, vegetation, lakes, and other things of the Sub-Dinsional Plane.
...
Only by continuously supplying various magic stones to the Sub-Dinsional Plane can major and minor wizard forces, such as the Pure Light Court, Tomb King, Night Spirit Cult, Silent Maiden, and others, preserve their own Sub-Dinsional Planes.
If the Realm of Wizards were likened to a pyramid, then the non-Star-level wizards who reside in the Natural World would be the foundation stones at the very bottom of the pyramid.
The wizard forces specializing in the continuous production of magic stones, such as the Pangula Family, are the most essential component;
Professors and wizard leaders who own Sub-Dinsional Planes are the middle layer of the pyramid. They earn money to buy magic stones and persistently consu them;
Moving further up is the pinnacle of the pyramid, occupied by large wizard forces that control vast reserves of magic stone mines.
Only they can steadily and inexpensively acquire magic stones from the Natural World to invest in their respective Sub-Dinsional Planes.
And only these wizard forces can afford to sell excess magic stones externally while maintaining self-sufficiency in magic stone production.
The term “first-mover advantage” is equally applicable in the Realm of Wizards.
The difference between the output and expenditure of magic stones fundantally determines whether a wizard force flourishes or not.
Is the “Silent Maiden” strong?
Fairly so.
The breaking power of “Silent power” alone is enough to crush most wizard forces.
But the tricky part lies with the magic stones.
The larger the number of mbers within a wizard force, the more magic stones produced by its mbers.
Correspondingly, the more each mber contributes to the monthly dues to the force leader.
After receiving the magic stones, the force leader could either sell them or keep them for personal use.
Without controlling many magic stone mines, wizard force leaders like Professor Erica depend on their subordinates to survive…
The problem is that the requirents to join the “Silent Maiden” are too stringent.
First, possessing a “Magic Power Container” is necessary, second, one might need to change their gender identity.
Coupled together, they have directly led to a decline in the “Silent Maiden” mbership.
As a result, even after mixing in the wizard circle for decades, Professor Erica hasn’t managed to upgrade the “Court of Silence” to a dium Sub-Dinsion.
Noland Lee did not need to use Deconstruction to gauge Professor Erica’s needs accurately.
Now, he was going to give this youthful-looking professor a substantial “transfusion”.
Of course, Noland Lee was not purely altruistic.
Every drop of “blood” he gave to Erica would flow back to him in another form.
“Professor Erica, good day, how have you been lately?”
Noland Lee stepped into Erica’s study room and greeted her proactively.
Erica looked delicate and tall, her figure outlined by an off-shoulder robe, and silver ornants on her forehead shining brightly.
The forest outside the window radiated indigo radiance, exuding an atmosphere of tranquility and peace.
It was just that the dull-headed magic parrot was a bit of a spoiler.
As soon as it saw Noland Lee coming, it was about to squawk.
Erica was quicker, using a chain of indigo fus ford by a Magic Lock Chain to bind the parrot’s beak.
Resting her delicate chin on the edge of the table, Erica’s pretty face showed a hint of a smile:
“Oh, look who’s here. Isn’t this my smartest student? Did you enjoy yourself in the Suman Archipelago? Isn’t it ti to return to the classroom and continue your ‘First-level’ Wizard courses?”
Erica emphasized the words “First-level” with a heavier tone.
Noland Lee detected a touch of complaint in her voice.
“`
It was as if Noland Lee didn’t study hard, his Professor Erica would suffer losses.
Actually, the situation was indeed so.
Ulnas Circle, Law No. 4, was a law specifically designed to regulate Wizards Teaching Forest.
As the Lecturer Professor responsible for academic affairs, Professor Erica was a mber of Wizards Teaching Forest and was constrained by Law No. 4.
From the dual aning of the law and the tasks set by Wizards Teaching Forest, if a student failed to advance to the First Ring, Second Ring, or Three-circled, both the Lecturer Professor and the ntor would face certain penalties.
This punishnt was symbolic; the fine wouldn’t be large, but it inevitably generated gossip among the group of Lecturer Professors.
Noland Lee himself didn’t care at all.
He didn’t practice the ditation thod and yet could still beat high-level wizards.
But Professor Erica did care.
Noland Lee not advancing would affect her reputation.
Moreover, if Noland Lee, with the identity of a First Rank Wizard, caused any trouble, it would be her, the Lecturer Professor, who had to face the pressure from her colleagues.
Like, for example, the incident where Noland Lee used a Life and Death Duel Application, to thrash the heir to the Pangula Family.
“I’ve heard about your deeds, Jarvis. I’ve heard them in every sense of the word.”
Professor Erica raised her eyebrows at Noland Lee and said in a lancholic tone,
“First, the Wizard Enforcent Departnt cos to saying that one of my students made a na for himself at the Suman Archipelago’s Island Affairs Departnt, handling tasks with extre efficiency and arresting criminals with such ferocity that there are hardly any survivors.
“Then, the main Lecturer Professor from the Pangula Family Academy sent several letters claiming that one of my First level students, under the guise of a Life and Death Duel, turned his students and colleagues upside down, even capturing a family heir and delivering him to the Farrell Clan.
“It took quite so effort to convince the main Lecturer Professor from the Pangula Family that I am not greatly associated with what you have done.”
Professor Erica clenched her teeth, exhaling a fragrant breath through them and feigned a cold laugh,
“Heh~you really caused a lot of trouble. It’s a wonder how you caught the loopholes related to Life and Death Duels in Law No. 1.”
Noland Lee spoke with a solemn deanor and an air of dignity,
“Arresting criminals, investigating murders, avenging the matriarch of the Farrell Clan, and so on, all are legitimate acts that I should perform as an Enforcent Wizard. I’m glad that the Professor appreciates my approach. I will keep striving, polish myself further, and thoroughly implent…”
“Stop~”
Professor Erica put up her pristine palm and halted Noland Lee’s words.
She lowered her head, sighed softly,
“Ah, well, I’m truly at a loss for words concerning your ‘cunning’.”
Erica looked up and pointed at the chair across the table,
“Let’s sit down and talk. What brings you here? You certainly don’t really plan to start attending classes, do you?”
Noland Lee sat down cheerfully and said with a smile,
“Professor, I’ve obtained two Dragon clan treasures filled with a vast amount of Magic Stones, with at least four to five million pieces, and they are all high-density Magic Stones.”
Erica’s neck stretched in and out, frozen for half a second like a stunned goose,
“…What? Say that again?”
“You heard correctly, Professor. I possess over a hundred million Magic Stones, all of high-density,”
said Noland Lee.
“As my actions were too aggressive, so people wish to trouble . I’m willing to contribute 100,000 Thunder and Lightning Magic Stones and 10,000 Fla Magic Stones each month in exchange for your protection. The Magic Stones are high-density, each containing a standard 10,000 points of energy.”
Erica sized up Noland Lee from top to bottom with care and puzzlent in her eyes,
“Let’s not discuss whether or not you made a fortune. What sort of trouble have you gotten into that’s forced you to seek protection so hastily?”
Noland Lee gauged Erica’s reaction.
Upon confirming that she was genuinely concerned about his predicant, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he started to speak, then hesitated, a nearly imperceptible gleam in his eyes.
He showed just the right touch of grievance and quickly masked it, effectively displaying his strong side:
“I…sigh…Professor, I’ve been frad… The Deep Sea Branch and the Pomida Family are bullying …”
