Chapter 588: 189. Cheaters always win_3

As long as Noland Lee always has sufficient Energy Points on hand, it’s as if he possesses “Omniscient”.

As for what use “Omniscient” has.

Heh heh, that usage is huge.

Wizards have various magical means to detect crime scenes, which can easily find clues. But don’t forget, wizard criminals, who are also wizards, will have anti-detection magic means, and even specifically target detection magic with sinister traps.

At this time, the non-magical “Omniscient” comes into play.

Since there is no energy fluctuation while launching and no casting features, “Omniscient” can find clues without anyone knowing or detecting it. This is far more convenient, safe, and reliable than using detection magic.

According to statistics, in the Law Enforcement Wizard Credit Point Rankings, the top 10 enforcement wizards all have “Omniscient”. They are also members of the “Scholars’ Association,” a magic association that invented the well-known universal-class spell “Appraisal Technique”.

It could be said that a wizard with “Omniscient” basically locks their place in the top 100 of the Law Enforcement Wizard Rankings. The premise is that he doesn’t die suddenly. The leaderboard only allows living enforcement wizards to be listed.

When Selena heard that Noland Lee claimed to have “Omniscient,” her first reaction was surprise, followed by scrutiny and caution.

She wouldn’t believe him if he only said it. She needs some proof.

Selena reached into her liquid-formed magic pouch at her waist and took out a palm-sized metal box and placed it on the table.

“Open this box, tell me what’s inside, and what’s the use.”

Denise Green let go of Noland Lee’s arm.

Noland Lee stepped forward to Selena’s table and opened the metal box.

A small black sea snail appeared in the box. Its surface is pitted with dark green stains and brown mud. The magic lamp in the room shone on the surface of the sea snail, reflecting a glimmer of water, as if it was just taken out of the water.

With folded arms, Selena slowly said:

“Right now, on this ship, only I know the origin of this thing. Don’t think about fooling me with fabricated content.”

“Well, I think there is one more person who knows its origin now, and that’s me.” Noland Lee pointed to the black sea snail in the box, saying:

“This is the underwater communication conch from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. Due to the high density of seawater, sound can travel hundreds of kilometers underwater. The Dread Sail Pirate Nation relies on it for long-distance communication. It has a fatal flaw; the sound it emits can be interfered with by other sounds in the sea. Even the slightest disturbance of water by fish can distort its sound.”

In response to this, Selena was unmoved and said lightly:

“Oh, anyone with a little understanding of deep-sea common sense can say something similar to you. If you want me to believe you have ‘Omniscient,’ this information alone is not enough.”

“May I borrow your pen and paper, ma’am?” Noland eyed the ink pen on the pen holder.

“Hmm.” Selena gave a soft grunt, agreeing to Noland Lee’s request.

Noland Lee cast a “Mage’s Hand” to control the ink pen and quickly write characters on the blank paper, and also draw several simple sketches.

The text content is about how to make the black sea snail emit sound. The user must blow air correctly and press the air holes on the surface of the sea snail according to specific fingerings.

The simple sketches painted by Noland Lee were pictorial diagrams of how to blow the sea snail.

Different scales and tones correspond to different fingerings and breath volumes.

Noland Lee quickly wrote down the content on three pieces of paper, and at the same time, explained:

“This black sea snail can emit a total of 36 different sounds. I have listed the fingerings and breath volumes required to make these sounds, ma’am. I think this is enough to prove that I have ‘Omniscient.’”

Noland Lee put down the ink pen and gestured towards the documents on the table, inviting Selena to “please check.”

Selena gazed at the documents on the table, lost in thought, and did not immediately respond.

The method of testing extraordinary traits is like this. Various experiments must be carried out to determine which extraordinary trait someone has. This is an examination method based on phenomenon studies and experience.

In this world, there is no method of putting a hand on the subject and having a colored light to prove the extraordinary traits. Otherwise, the Star Witches on the Star Filtering Net would have clarified the extraordinary traits of every fallen star pollutant.

Selena picked up the black sea snail, summoned the magic servant in the room, and made it blow the sea snail.

36 sounds were perfectly presented.

Though somewhat convinced, Selena still couldn’t be entirely sure.

Because there is an Extraordinary Trait called “Omniscient in Music”, allowing the possessor to immediately see how to use unfamiliar instruments.

Perhaps Noland Lee just happened to have this Extraordinary Trait.

To further test Noland’s authenticity, Selena took out another metal box.

“There is something else in this box. It might be related to the secret hideout of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. We have been trying to find the location of their secret hideout but have had no results. The thing in this box is the only clue.”

Selena opened the box.

A strong smell of sea water wafted up and filled the study room.

Inside the box was a greasy, pitch-black seaweed with earthworm-like ridges all over the surface. It looked rather disgusting.

“Can you tell me what this seaweed is and what its growth environment is like?” Selena asked.

Instead of answering hastily, Noland shook his head slightly and said:

“Lady, according to the pricing of the Scholars’ Association, asking them to appraise such a seaweed sample and gain intelligence on the secret hideout of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation would probably cost tens of thousands of gold coins. If I just tell you the answer, wouldn’t that be a huge loss for me?”

Selena raised her eyebrow and put the arrest warrant on the table:

“I see what you mean. That was careless of me. Here’s what I propose. Once you tell me the answer, I will immediately notify the Deep Sea Branch to have someone verify your answer.

“If your answer is wrong or made up, don’t blame me for using the law and the lawful authority granted to me by the Academy.

“However, if your answer is correct, I will invite you to join the law enforcement operation against the entire Dread Sail Pirate Nation. Your companion witch can also be teleported to the Suman Archipelago for free. I will pay you an additional 30,000 gold coins as your action fund for investigating the whereabouts of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.

“Moreover, I will issue you a Law Enforcement Wizard Co-defense Appointment Order for enforcement within the Suman Archipelago. Each month, you can use this appointment order to receive a 3,000 gold coin co-defense subsidy from the Deep Sea Branch.

“In the future, all you need to do is fulfill two tasks: periodically report your investigation progress and help the Deep Sea Branch appraise items related to the Dread Sail Pirate Nation, with appraisal fees calculated separately.

“You don’t need to worry about me going back on my word. I will use a contract to clarify both our responsibilities and rights.”

As Selena was speaking, her Magic Pen wobbled at high speed and wrote a Magic Contract.

Selena signed her name on the Magic Contract Book first.

The contract flew in front of Noland.

After inspecting it, he also wrote down his name.

The contract split into two and turned into two white lights, entering Noland and Selena’s bodies.

Seeing Selena being so decisive, Noland skillfully controlled the ink pen and wrote down the origin and growth environment of the seaweed.

“This seaweed is called Drowning Grass. It grows in waters about 3,000 meters deep…”

Comparing the Deconstruction Results in his mind, Noland wrote every detail he could on the paper.

This information only included the name of the seaweed, its growth environment, and simple uses, without mentioning the fact that “the seaweed only grows on an underwater island named Burdensome Isle.”

Noland pushed the written document in front of Selena.

Selena summoned her Magic Messenger, a beautiful white sea shell. The sea shell took the document Noland had written and brought it to the Deep Sea Branch.

Selena said:

“We will know the answer in at most 1 hour.”

“Let us await the good news, madam.” Noland replied with a calm, faint smile.

With Deconstruction Technique in hand, Noland was almost certain of success and not at all worried about problems. Otherwise, he might as well write his name backward.
