Constructing-Style Wizard-Chapter 553 - : 178. Emergency Plan_3
Chapter 553: 178. Emergency Plan_3
She took out a rainbow lollipop wrapped in transparent paper from her magic pouch, shook it in her hand, and spoke like she was coaxing a child:
“First go and deliver the letter, then come back to eat the candy.”
“Pudding is the best~” The parrot praised itself with Jenny’s words.
It used its beak to pick up the envelope from Erica’s hand and tucked it under its wings into the leather case.
After flapping its wings twice, the parrot circled around the study room and disappeared into a transparent phantom within two to three seconds.
The plane traversal ability owned by magic messengers is simple and low-key, without any special magical effects.
Noland Lee raised his head slightly, secretly looking at Erica. She was clearly distressed because of her rebellious magic messenger…
Thinking about it, it made sense.
If Noland found out that his magic messenger was playing with someone else behind his back and helping them hide the truth, he would definitely feel somewhat irritated.
This kind of thing is not the same as having a third party in a romantic relationship.
If a romantic relationship falls apart, it can simply end.
But magic messengers are just too hard to come by.
If Erica does not want to spend time and money to contract a new magic messenger, she will have to put up with the parrot’s rebellion.
Magic messengers are difficult to serve!
Noland sighed in his heart.
Erica slumped into her chair, lost in thought…
Half an hour later, after finishing reading the books, Noland used a Deconstruction technique to absorb the books’ content.
[System Message:]
[You have gained a new active skill “Open Teleportation Gate: Silent Yard.]
[Your “Spirit” level is 40, below the required 90 for this skill.]
[Due to the “Soul Contract: Dinas” relationship, you can perform joint casting with Dinas to activate this skill.]
Noland glanced at the system message in his mind, got up, and prepared to say goodbye to Erica.
At the same time, the magic messenger returned.
The parrot fluttered its wings, transformed from a transparent phantom into a solid form, circled around the room, and landed on its perch.
It took out two reply letters from the leather case under its wings and squawked at Erica:
“Do you want to eat lollipop, do you want to eat lollipop.”
Erica’s mouth twitched noticeably.
She smiled awkwardly at Noland, took the reply letters from the parrot’s beak, and shoved the unwrapped lollipop into the parrot’s claw.
Unfolding the reply letter, Erica resumed her calm ladylike demeanor:
“Jarvis, the Wizard Enforcement Department has agreed to send a law enforcement team to board the ship. And Mabel has agreed to help open the teleportation gate. Go back now and cooperate with Mabel.”
“Alright, Professor, I’ll go first.”
Noland glanced at the parrot sucking on the lollipop on the perch, muttered “Leave the Silent Yard.”
Indigo mist rushed in, his consciousness descended rapidly, and returned to his body.
Upon opening his eyes, Noland saw Mabel’s complicated expression and Erica’s letter in her hand.
Noland blinked half a second in Mabel’s scrutinizing gaze, and then realized why the wealthy witch had this expression.
Noland rubbed the silent sword with the appearance of a stone dagger in his hand and forced a smile:
“Hey… I didn’t expect myself to join the ‘Silent Maiden’, Mabel. Please keep our secret, okay? This secret cannot be made public for now.”
Mabel looked at Noland Lee with curious and investigative eyes, scanning his body surface up and down, but soon realized that it was extremely inappropriate for her to do so.
Her cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head in slight embarrassment, saying:
“I apologize, I apologize, it’s just that the news of you becoming a member of the ‘Silent Maiden’ is too astonishing… Alright, I mean, I will keep this a secret, as requested by your lecturer professor.”
Mabel gathered herself, stood up with a hint of blush still on her cheeks.
She took out her branch wand and walked towards the balcony of the suite.
“I’m going to open the teleportation gate.”
Noland Lee followed her into the spacious open-air balcony, and at the same time used “Soul Perception” to explain the situation to Denise.
Considering the extreme situation where the captain had joined the enemy, Noland Lee, after obtaining Mabel’s consent, summoned Denise to stand by his side.
Under the watchful eyes of Noland Lee and Denise, Mabel pointed her branch wand at the four-color star in the night sky.
Wizards below the sixth ring need to use spell chanting to enhance their perception of man-made stars. To Noland Lee, this appeared to be some sort of incantation and spell phrases.
Mabel didn’t need to do that.
She pointed her branch wand at the sky and shot out the element light of fire, earth, air, and water. These four finger-thick light columns twisted into a single four-color spiral light column, piercing the sky at lightning speed.
Just then, the “wooden” wall of the balcony flickered with iron-gray magic light. The wooden wall, which had been transformed from magic metal, turned back into a dull metal wall.
Countless metal spikes stretched out from the metal wall. They intertwined like slender tentacles, collectively weaving a magic metal human figure with human-like facial features.
“Miss Mabel, what are you doing?”
The magic metal person’s mouth moved, revealing a metallic luster inside. The hoarse and dry voice it emitted was like the noise made by striking an iron plate.
This was obviously the magic metal avatar summoned by Captain Berkeley on the balcony.
The four-color light column in the sky plunged into the four-color star, causing the four-color star to rotate and expand, forming a huge spiral vortex.
A dozen or so tiny figures flew out of the spiral vortex and fell straight towards the balcony directly below.
Mabel lowered her raised right arm holding the magic wand, smiled at Captain Berkeley in a ceremonial manner, and kept a close eye on his every move:
“I am doing what I am supposed to do, Captain Berkeley. This is the request from the Wizard Enforcement Department. Surely you are not unaware of the counterfeit money and suspicious characters on the ship?”
Mabel did not push it too far and maintained a good relationship with Berkeley.
As a witch with many years of experience, she knew that a captain of a magic ship had an incredible sense of control and insight into the ship.
So, even without solid evidence, she firmly believed that Berkeley was colluding with the suspicious characters in secret.
Noland Lee raised his hand and cast an “Undead Shield,” covering both him and Denise, and protected her behind him.
Denise held Noland Lee’s left hand, gripping her torch, and her teleportation spell was ready to go. If Berkeley showed any unusual behavior, she would teleport away with Noland Lee under his protection.
The two worked seamlessly together, remaining vigilant at all times. Mabel also summoned her “Elemental Shield” to guard against Berkeley’s magic metal avatar.
As one of the parties involved in this incident, Captain Berkeley’s reaction was within the expectations of Noland Lee and the others.
He appeared dazed like a man whose plot was exposed and then quickly fell into deep thought.
As his thoughts churned, numerous metal spikes appeared on the magic metal connected with his mind.
Seeing Berkeley’s reaction, Mabel, Noland Lee, and Denise immediately understood the situation.
There was indeed a big problem with Berkeley.
However, they couldn’t help but feel bitter at the thought of what would happen next…
If a nine-circle metal battle mage chose to resist violently, the disaster scene that would ensue could only be described as hellish.
What’s more, they were in the deep sea.
Not to mention that there were so many passengers on the boat with lower levels of strength.
