Chapter 300: 122. Remuneration and Meeting_5
Translator: 549690339
Noland Lee’s heart twitched when he saw the deconstruction information, his eyebrows furiously twitching…
He initially thought that the deconstruction results would contain words like “age over 100 years old,” “well-maintained,” and “perfect body curves” since it was personally written by Philia’s mentor.
Who knew that a magic ink pen would pop out…
Ah, this…
This is so much different from his imagined deconstruction results…
Noland Lee composed himself and focused on thinking about the invitation.
To attend or not to attend the discussion?
If he doesn’t attend, he won’t be able to meet the other wizards in Union City and naturally won’t be able to learn about their situations. This would be a deliberate act of giving up on gathering information.
If he attends, it means that the possibility of exposure increases. If he encounters a difficult question during the discussion and can’t handle it properly, exposing himself would be almost certain.
Moreover, he had killed the young raven, and thus had offended Samuelson.
Not attending the discussion might make him an isolated existence, an information island, and unknowingly become a target for Samuelson’s revenge.
In order to gather more information and understand the wizard community better, Noland Lee had to make a bold decision.
He raised his head and said to Betty Davis:
“No problem, Betty. I will attend the discussion.”
“Great, then we can move on to the next matter.” Betty took out the ink pen and drew a horizontal line on the notebook, representing the completion of the task:
“Philia said that she has already helped you secure the opportunity to reimburse the magic scroll. Including the 300,000 as payment agreed to be given to you, and the amount for the magic scrolls reimbursement, we will pay you a total of 5.8 million Union Coins. Among them, the amount for reimbursing the Evil Burst Art Magic Scroll is 1.5 million, and the amount for reimbursing the Death Avatar Magic Scroll is 4 million.
“She asked me to ask you if you’d like Union Coins, magical items, or something else? If you want magical items, I can take you to the manor’s treasure vault. Philia will be busy with the discussion today, so she won’t be available for now.”
“5.8 million?” Noland Lee was a bit dumbfounded facing this huge amount of money.
“Uh…you think it’s too little…” Betty scratched her head, explaining:
“She said that in the Golden Federation, it’s very difficult to get magic scrolls. The price of magic scrolls here is much higher than in the Ulnas Circle. There’s no exact number for how much higher it is. If you’re not satisfied with this amount, I can go and discuss it with her again.”
“No, you misunderstood, Betty. The amount is fine…let me think about whether to take the Union Coins or magical items.”
“Alright then.” Betty quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Noland Lee leaned back in his chair, pondering.
Some magical items with strong power or prominent defense effects might be more suitable for him right now.
Because what he lacks now isn’t a trump card that can turn the tables, but something that can be used openly without worrying about other people’s suspicions.
It’s not like he can always take enemies to a deserted place stealthily then use his trump card to finish them off, right?
It’s fine to do it once or twice.
But doing it too often and for too long will inevitably attract attention and scrutiny.
Considering all of this, obtaining magical items would be a better choice.
Noland Lee clenched his fist and lightly pounded it on his palm:
“Betty, please take me to the treasure vault later.”
“Alright-” Betty picked up the pen, drew the second horizontal line in the notebook, then gave herself a checkmark, smiling happily.
“Alright, I’ve finished everything that my sister asked me to do.”
Seeing Betty’s adorable appearance, it was hard for Noland Lee to associate her with the sneaky Meow Meow person who attacked him that night. Perhaps that was Betty’s mischievous side.
“Betty, how is your brother’s injury? He asked me to investigate the whereabouts of the metal magic cube. I found that a few of his competitors are backed by some extraordinary alchemist factions. Can you tell me about it…” Noland Lee began talking about Fars Scott’s situation.
Betty’s expression became even more serious than before, her little face full of solemnity. It seemed like she cared about her unlucky brother’s troubles deeply.
Cat Society Manor.
The treasure vault located on Underground Layer 2.
It was divided into three areas by airtight stone brick walls.
From the outermost to the innermost areas, they were the Visitor’s Area, Collection Area, and Treasure Zone, corresponding to the three categories of people who could access the areas: visitors, wizards from Elemental Judgment, and mentors.
As a visitor, Noland Lee could only select magical items from the Visitor’s Area.
Magical items can be divided into “single-use” and “needs recharging” according to the number of uses.
“Single-use” is self-explanatory, items that can only be used once. As long as magical items that require recharging have energy within them, they can be used repeatedly.
Generally speaking, things that are inconvenient to be known by outsiders will be made into single-use items, such as magic scrolls that record spells.
Only things with more widely circulated magic principles will be made into rechargeable magical items, such as magic lamps, magic ink pens, and so on.
Among these, there is one exception.
That is magic robes and wands that serve as durable items.
Each wizard branch has its magic robe and wand, and they also don’t want outsiders to know the principles behind them.
But there’s no choice, people have to wear clothes and hold wands. You can’t make these items one-time use, right? Otherwise, if the clothes disappeared during a fight, it would be very awkward..
