Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 717: 228. Explore Caves at Sea_3

“Let’s go to the control room!”

As they walked towards the upper deck, Hadley Grant introduced to Noland Lee:

“Starting from now, it will take us at most fifteen hours to reach the sea surface above the Cave of Spreading Moss. I’ve told you before that the Starfall Sea is the territory of the Charnel Family. We need to pay to buy a pass to collect the Dragon Clan treasures there. Halfway there, we will encounter the Charnel Family’s sea checkpoint. I will communicate with the Wizards of Charnel then, and I guarantee that we can pass the checkpoint smoothly.”

Noland Lee nodded and said:

“No problem, Hadley. By the way, is it true that only the Charnel Family’s Starfall Sea can be used to collect Dragon Clan treasures? Doesn’t that mean the Charnel Family has made a fortune?”

“No, no, no, you don’t know.” Hadley Grant shook his head repeatedly:

“All the sea areas surrounding the Spinning Continent have the opportunity to witness the scene of Dragon clan treasures falling from the sky. Among them, only the sea area near the Suman Archipelago is controlled by Ulnas Ring, and the remaining sea areas are in the hands of other wizard nations. The Starfall Sea of the Charnel Family is open to all Ulnas Ring Wizards. On its east side, the Pure Light Court also controls a large sea area, but it is not open to outsiders, only members of the Pure Light Court are allowed in and out.”

“I see.” Noland Lee and Hadley Grant stepped into the control room and stood in front of the control console, watching the other party drive the magic yacht out of the berth.

The magic yacht moved smoothly and quickly thanks to the water jet magic array, and soon left the bustling harbor, entering the relatively empty nearshore area.

The magic nautical instrument on the control console marked the route and marine areas they would pass through on this journey and listed the mist threshold of each sea area. These were the nautical services Hadley Grant purchased from the Deep Sea Branch, at a cost of 500 gold coins per month.

Noland Lee leaned over to the magic image of the magic nautical instrument and saw that Hadley Grant had chosen a regular route, where they might encounter many passing ships on the way.

Noland Lee was traveling incognito this time, not wanting anyone to know he was leaving the Core Circle.

Before setting off, he had changed his appearance using “Disguise as a Living Corpse” and wore glasses that hid the color of his eyes.

Theoretically, as long as there was no one related to Dickler Fegan on the passing ships, Noland Lee wouldn’t be detected by anyone.

Of course, this was provided that Hadley Grant kept a tight lid on things.

On this matter, Noland Lee wasn’t too worried.

After signing the magic contract with the other party, Noland Lee, as a Cooperative Defense Enforcement Wizard, signed a confidentiality agreement with Hadley Grant.

With the double guarantee of the contract and Deconstruction Technique, Noland Lee could minimize the risk of Hadley Grant leaking his whereabouts.

Noland Lee looked away from the magic nautical instrument and chatted with Hadley Grant in the control room.

The topic gradually turned to the must-know knowledge for going out to sea.

Speaking of this, a serious expression appeared on Hadley Grant’s bearded face for the first time:

“Jarvis, once you are underwater, the most important thing for you is not to go more than three meters away from me. The entrance of the Cave of Spreading Moss is located 20 meters below the surface of the water. Our exploration in the Blue Cave will be much more difficult than flying above the ground. The treacherous undercurrent is our first enemy, which could randomly appear on our way, manifesting as a fierce water stream that is difficult to resist. If you’re not careful, you’ll be swept away by the undercurrent, struggling to break free from the water stream only after deviating from the route by twenty or thirty meters.”

With one hand on the joystick controlling the ship and the other gesturing in the air, Hadley Grant vividly described the dangers of underwater undercurrents.

Noland Lee glanced at the Magic Panel of “Deep Sea Swimming” and asked:

“If I use the ‘Deep Sea Swimming’ spell, can I get rid of the undercurrent?”

Hadley Grant was stunned for a moment, looking at Noland Lee with wide eyes:

“Ah? What? You can do ‘Deep Sea Swimming’? Aren’t you a Death Clan Wizard?”

Noland Lee shrugged slightly:

“When I was capturing the criminals of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation, I found a magic book containing this Magic Spell. I was lucky, and the Magic Lock on the Magic book was just removed by the criminal, so I learned it. Don’t be surprised, I have ‘Magic Proficient.’ As long as there is an unlocked Magic book, I can learn the magic.”

Hadley Grant’s expression could be described as jaw-dropping.

Having ‘Magic Proficient’ meant that Noland Lee could quickly pass through the Wizard Students stage and become a Four-circled Wizard.

“Well… uh, well. No wonder you asked me to sign a confidentiality contract.”

Hadley shrank his neck and suspiciously aimed a glance at the white pattern on Noland’s collar, which symbolized a First Rank Wizard:

“According to the requirements in the contract, I will not reveal your secret to the outside world… but honestly, it’s strange that a person with ‘Magic Proficient’ is just a First Rank Wizard.”

Noland Lee laughed indifferently:

“It’s not that I’m strange, Hadley. In the end, it is caused by the mismatch between the Ulnas Circle’s laws and reality. When determining the level of a wizard, the Ulnas Circle only considers the size of the Spiritual Ocean and does not include other factors. So it gives me the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes.

“Think about it, my situation is very similar to yours. What you sell is real, but because counterfeits are more popular and legal, your genuine products become counterfeits in the eyes of others. Now look at me, I actually have the strength far beyond a Sixth Ring Battle Wizard, but I was judged as a First Rank Wizard. We are both products of aberrant rules, don’t you think?”

Hadley scratched his head and muttered:

“Oh…it seems to be true.”

“Uh, wait.” Hadley came back to his senses and looked at Noland in amazement:

“Did you just say your combat strength exceeds that of a Sixth Ring Battle Wizard?!”

“It’s nothing surprising, every wizard who has ‘Magic Proficient’ can do that.”

Noland Lee waved his hand and said:

“It’s just that I didn’t practice meditation as hard as them, and I’m busy trying to become a wizard at a higher rank. Doing this can indeed exploit weaknesses and use the loopholes in the law to act, but also give up the ability to extract mana, the opportunity to learn advanced magic, and the bright prospects of becoming a mentor for the Magic Research Institute.”

“So will you stay in the First Ring stage for the rest of your life?” Hadley recovered from his amazement.

“It depends.” Noland Lee didn’t say much.

In fact, he has a clear idea in his heart.

Only when he has the ability to kill a Tenth Ring Battle Wizard in seconds will he consider promoting his ‘Spirit.’

After all, once his ‘Spirit’ is improved, the number of people he can initiate a Life and Death Duel with will decrease, and his options for “overturning the table” will be reduced.
