Chapter 938: 293. First-mover advantage
“`
“Where are we?” Denise Green casually cast a spell while curiously looking around.
“This is the Great Sea.”
Noland Lee was now in the form of a small Titan, seven ters tall.
He lifted his broad palm, protecting the “pocket-sized” Denise Green to his chest:
“Stay vigilant, Denise. We are in a place more than a thousand ters deep in the water. Enemies could pop out from anywhere, front, back, left, right, above, or below.”
...
“Okay~”
Denise Green sat on Noland Lee’s arm, leaning against his chest, casting healing spells non-stop.
The painful areas on Noland Lee’s body beca warm.
The pain was gradually weakening, but it would take so ti before he was completely healed.
Noland Lee activated “Mind Induction” and asked Selena, who was far within the Core Circle:
“Selena, I would like you to contact Hadley Grant secretly. He has a shop in the City of Suman nad ‘Hadley’s Shop’. He’s a Five-ring Deep Sea Wizard who graduated from the Deep Sea Branch about 12 years ago.”
“Hadley Grant…” Selena made a note of the na:
“Okay, Jarvis. Give a few minutes, and I’ll find his record.”
Noland Lee waited patiently for a mont, passing ti by teasing Denise Green.
“I’ve found information on Hadley Grant.” Selena said through “Mind Induction”:
“He is indeed a graduate of the Deep Sea Branch. He registered his Magic ssenger postal code information with the Island Affairs Departnt. If you want to contact him without alarming anyone else, I can use the na of the Island Affairs Departnt to write him a secret letter enchanted with a magic lock. What do you think?”
Noland Lee thought that even if the Pangula Family was quick to act, they wouldn’t have reached Hadley Grant so soon.
It seed unlikely that Hadley would receive Selena’s letter exactly when he was confronting the Pangula Family.
“That’s fine, Selena. I leave this matter to you. Tell him in the letter…”
Noland Lee recounted his plan in his mind.
He took into account all the ways the Pangula Family could trouble Hadley Grant.
For example, the Pangula Family could arrest Hadley along with his boat on the pretext of violating laws.
Or they could offer Hadley a substantial reward to entice him to divulge Noland Lee’s true information.
Noland Lee even considered the scenario where the Pangula Family brought in a Saint Tier Mind Wizard to read Hadley’s mories.
For each scenario, Noland Lee had a solution.
He always estimated his enemies’ intentions with the utmost malice, naturally foreseeing all sorts of extre situations in advance.
“…that’s it, Selena. Please rephrase what I said into appropriate wording and send it to Hadley. If he agrees to help us, send him a magic crystal I made. Tell him, should he detect a trace of the Pangula Family, to crush the magic crystal, and I will be alerted to his situation imdiately.”
“No problem, it will be done. Let repeat it to make sure,” Selena responded.
“Okay.”
Selena repeated Noland Lee’s instructions based on her notes.
After confirming there were no omissions or errors, the two disconnected “Mind Induction.”
Denise Green had by this ti healed Noland Lee’s injuries.
After casting a few spells with blessing effects on him, she teleported away from the location with Selena’s help.
Noland Lee once again entered a state of silent cultivation in the dark seawater.
He called up the System Interface to check.
The Passive Deconstruction progress throughout the Four-Piece Subsea Region had synchronously risen to about 15.8%.
The current speed of deconstruction was much faster than last ti.
This was related to Noland Lee unlocking the standardized panel information for the “Deep Sea Region.”
With this panel information, he would enjoy a significant discount when passively deconstructing any Deep Sea Subsea Region.
While the difficulty of deconstruction decreased, the Energy Value Rewards from passive deconstruction also dropped significantly.
This was unavoidable.
Noland Lee could only compensate for the reduced Energy Value Reward by increasing the number of Subsea Regions.
“Let’s continue cultivating the ‘Calm Breathing thod’ and the Deep Sea Scales ditation.”
Noland Lee steadied his mind, constantly observing his surroundings with “Perception Enhancent.”
“Hoo~~~hisss~~~~hoo~~~hissss~~~~~”
The prolonged breath sounds wandered through the sea water, resonating for a long ti.
…
…
Several days passed in rigorous cultivation and deconstructing Subsea Regions.
Island 33 entered a stable stage of developnt.
Noland’s two Thought Threads, one was used to improve the existing Energy Neutralization Pulse Wave Projector, and the other was used for handling miscellaneous tasks.
Denise Green provided healing services for Noland deep in the sea every two hours via teleportation.
The rest of the ti, she was in ditation either in her study room or her bedroom.
Noland Lee had co to a conclusion regarding what he had asked her to investigate.
Her Lecturer Professor “Lamp of Resurrection” indeed provided other Resurrection Witches with information about Magic Relics.
Noland Lee obtained information regarding five Magic Relics.
However, the information the other Resurrection Witches received included far more than just five relics.
There was once a Resurrection Witch who obtained information on over 30 Magic Relics from Professor Lamp.
Over the past decade, many of those 30 Magic Relics had been thoroughly researched by the Wizard Advancent Association or raided by other wizard forces and turned into their Sub-Dinsional Planes.
For this reason, the number of Magic Relics introduced by Professor Lamp dramatically decreased, from initially over 30 to now just five.
