Chapter 958: 298. Forbidden Technique
Noland Lee was in the living room on the first floor of Island 33.
Just as he was about to test Nicolette’s knowledge of Alchemy, he suddenly felt a hand graze his soul.
“Wait, it seems like Selena has sothing she needs to discuss with .”
After uttering those words, Noland focused his mind to contact Selena.
Nicolette cocked her head in confusion and asked Denise Green,
“I often hear you ntion Selena, who is she?”
...
“Selena is Noland’s future manager,” Denise gently stroked Nicolette’s head as she explained,
“She is currently the Deputy Principal of the Deep Sea Branch, busy dealing with Academy affairs. Once Noland obtains a Sub-Dinsional Plane in the future, she’ll help him manage it—that’s a manager’s duty.”
Nicolette responded with a aningful “Oh~~~.”
“Shh~” Denise Green placed a finger to her lips, speaking in a hushed tone,
“Don’t disrupt Noland and Selena’s conversation; they’re discussing serious matters.”
Nicolette bobbed her head up and down and mid zipping her lips shut.
Noland didn’t talk with Selena for too long.
Selena succinctly recounted the events at the dueling site, emphasizing the unusual behavior of Referee Sedan Bursohan and Light Wizard Jay Spade.
What worried Selena the most was that the Pure Light Court had also taken an interest in Noland’s “Thundercloud Technique.”
As a wizard force composed entirely of Enforcent Wizards, the Pure Light Court was far more troubleso to deal with than Selena’s father.
They could use thods that, while legally acceptable, were rather underhanded to forcefully unravel Noland’s “Thundercloud Technique.”
It wasn’t just alarmism on Selena’s part.
There were countless cases like this.
It was precisely because of this style of conduct that although the Pale Justice Knight Order was affiliated with the Pure Light Court, they always had discord between them.
Within the “Soul Perception” communication, Selena sighed lightly,
“Jarvis, I didn’t expect Lonco to enhance the Thundercloud with Thunder and Lightning Energy during the duel. Ah, he’s too reckless.”
Noland thought to himself,
“Hmm… Selena, I revisited the Magic Contract I signed with the Deep Sea Branch. Didn’t the contract state that unless I give permission, the Deep Sea Branch cannot reveal my secrets to any person, force, or entity? I rember correctly, don’t I?”
Selena replied,
“That’s true, there is such a clause. And according to Law 2, the Pure Light Court cannot interfere with a Magic Contract. Lonco could use this as an excuse related to the contract to avoid Jespat’s questions. But…”
Taking over the conversation, Noland said,
“But such an evasive stance in itself could give them away. Jespat isn’t a fool; he’d instantly realize that Lonco is being evasive due to guilt. In his eyes, Lonco’s silence implies that the Dark Cloud summoned was created with Wild Magic.”
“Yes, that’s exactly what I an,” Selena said.
“Then, this matter is indeed quite troubleso,” Noland pondered for a few seconds,
“Let’s do this, Selena. We’ll take things one step at a ti and first clarify the attitudes of the Pure Light Court and Pale Justice. If it’s clear they an no good, we’ll make preparations.”
“Okay,” Selena responded,
“Then when Lonco ets with Jespat, should I find a way to audit it? We don’t want to miss any important information.”
“You can,” Noland nodded slightly,
“But be careful not to let Jespat and Lonco steer the topic onto you. If Jespat finds out that the magic scrolls Lonco has were sold to him by you, then you’ll have a real headache.”
“All right, I’ll be cautious.”
The two exchanged so details and then cut off the “Soul Perception” connection.
Regaining his awareness, Noland turned to Nicolette and Denise with a smile,
“Let’s continue with the lesson. Nicolette, let test how well you’ve learned Alchemy…”
Noland asked Nicolette several questions, to which she responded smoothly, demonstrating an exceptional mory.
She was learning about Magic knowledge and Alchemy at the sa ti.
While her mind held two different systems of knowledge simultaneously, she didn’t get confused by this.
This alone evidenced that Nicolette’s mind was quite capable.
Seeing that his questions didn’t stump Nicolette, Noland then took her to Underground Floor 2, preparing to test her practical abilities.
Nolin welcod the arrival of Noland and Nicolette warmly.
Perhaps because Nolin seed very honest and wasn’t as controlling as Denise, Nicolette liked Nolin quite a lot.
The two shared a big hug upon eting.
“Nolin, your Illusion Body is so soft, like cotton,” Nicolette said, rocking the body of the other.
Nolin chuckled heartily, patting Nicolette’s back,
“Alright, alright, we’ll talk more later. First, you have to finish Mr. Jarvis’s task.”
While Noland didn’t rush Nicolette,
he pulled over a stool and sat next to the Craftsman Table.
Seeing Nolin derive satisfaction from interacting with Nicolette filled Noland, as her creator, with contentnt.
In the ti that followed, Nicolette, at Noland’s request, assembled three different chanos using ready-made parts.
Noland then guided her in engraving Alchemy runes and creating an Array capable of spraying fus.
Nicolette completed all the test items brilliantly, and Noland now had a definitive assessnt of her Alchemy acun.
Nicolette, that girl, likely rembered the Basic Alchemy she learned within the Goldtouch Dynasty Family centuries ago.
What she learned wasn’t much, nor was it profound—just the basics, which is why she was able to perform so well in Basic Alchemy training.
