Chapter 1022: 318. Hullabaloo_3

“[You have obtained the following Deconstruction Results:]”

“[…]”

Great swathes of System Text flashed through Noland Lee’s mind. He set aside the Panel Information and directly opened the “Memory Fragment of Solomon.”

“[Memory Fragment One: ‘The Process of Solomon Suppressing Two Deputy Mayors’, Completion 100%]”

There was no need to view this fragment, as Noland Lee already knew the outcome.

“[Memory Fragment Two: ‘The Orders Issued by Solomon to the Refugee City Guard Squad During Battle’, Completion 100%]”

...

Noland Lee quickly glanced at it after opening it.

The orders issued by Solomon were nothing more than to capture the fleeing Shadow Death Laborers outside the city and to search for the “Thunder Wizard.”

This was within Noland Lee’s expectations.

“[Memory Fragment Three: ‘Solomon Negotiating with the Soul Shaping Society Inside the Magic Hall’, Completion 40%]” noveldrama

Yes!

This was the one!

A glimmer of excitement appeared in Noland Lee’s eyes as he quickly opened “Memory Fragment Three” to review.

“Ethereal beings cannot reproduce offspring…

“To break this curse, the Shadow Death Magic Realm chose to secretly collaborate with the Soul Shaping Society…

“The Soul Shaping Society suggested seeking help from Extraterrestrial Void Forces…

“Following the advice of the Soul Shaping Society, the Shadow Death Magic Realm began constructing the City of Exiles and preparing the ceremony to communicate with the Extraterrestrial Void Forces.”

Noland Lee’s gaze flickered as he pieced together the rough course of events.

However, there was one aspect that Noland Lee could not understand.

Why was the Soul Shaping Society so certain that the Extraterrestrial Void Forces could help the Shadow Death Magic Realm resolve the difficulty that “Ethereal beings cannot reproduce offspring”?

What reason had the Soul Shaping Society used to convince the Shadow Death Magic Realm to conduct the ceremony?

Noland Lee focused his mind and meticulously examined the remaining memory fragments.

10 minutes later, Noland Lee suddenly clapped his hands together in realization!

That was it!

The Soul Shaping Society’s methods of shaping souls were very similar to those of the ‘Soul Snatchers’ who had disappeared years ago, weren’t they?

Yes, that was right, there was a very secretive connection between the two.

The Soul Shaping Society had indeed received the legacy of the ‘Soul Snatchers’ through remote communication with the Extraterrestrial Void Forces.

Soul Extraction technique, Soul Shaping technique, Soul Shaping Tattoo, and other soul-related magic had all been acquired by the Soul Shaping Society during a ceremony years ago where they contacted the Extraterrestrial Void Forces.

It was through such a secret of power that the Soul Shaping Society gained the trust of the Shadow Death Magic Realm.

This time, the ceremony being planned in the Upper City Area of the City of Exiles was targeted towards the Extraterrestrial Void Forces that gave the knowledge of Soul-stealing Magic to the Soul Shaping Society.

However, who exactly these Extraterrestrial Void Forces were, City Lord Solomon did not know.

The Lecturer Professor Gilbert Winchester from the Soul Shaping Society, who was responsible for liaising with him, had not revealed a single point to him.

“Interesting, interesting… An Extraterrestrial Void Force that has the knowledge of Soul-stealing Magic, helped the Soul Shaping Society obtain the legacy of the ‘Soul Snatchers’, and now they are helping the Shadow Death Magic Realm resolve the reproduction issue…

“Acquiring magic knowledge always comes with a price, right?

“What price did the Soul Shaping Society pay to that Extraterrestrial Void Force in order to receive the knowledge of Soul-stealing Magic?”

Noland Lee had a hunch that the Shadow Death Magic Realm had been duped onto a treacherous vessel by the Soul Shaping Society…

At this moment, three different voices sounded in Noland Lee’s mind.

“Jarvis! An Outer Space Gap has appeared above Thousand Peak Domain!” This was a warning from Selena to Noland Lee.

“Noland, be careful of the extraterrestrial space pollution! I’ve just received an emergency notice that’s been broadcast by Professor Lamp! She says that extraterrestrial space pollution has appeared over Thousand Peak Domain, reminding all Resurrection Witches and Contractors within Thousand Peak Domain to watch out for their own safety! Do you need me to Teleport over and bring you back? The Protective Magic Array of Plas Fort has been activated!”

This was a mental message from Denise Green.

“Meow~”

The Snow-winged Cat meowed beside Noland Lee’s ear, Teleporting over and leaving an urgent Envelope in his hand.

Noland Lee opened the Envelope and saw that it was from Professor Erica.

Professor Erica mentioned that the Mass Star Tombs had detected disturbances above Thousand Peak Domain.

An Outer Space Gap was rapidly forming.

Starting from the receipt of this letter, in no more than half an hour, the Outer Space Gap would be fully open.

By then, centering around the core of Thousand Peak Domain, an area spanning nearly a hundred kilometers of mountains and hills would be covered by a Pollution Zone.

Professor Erica specially instructed her own Silent Enforcers that if they did not possess Seven-Ring Level strength, they should certainly not join in the commotion.

A Pollution Zone that radiates to a diameter of two hundred kilometers could likely evolve into a national-level extraordinary phenomenon.

This wasn’t just for fun.

However, in this letter, Professor Erica also mentioned something uncertain.

While the Mass Wizard Tombs had detected signs of an Outer Space Gap opening, the wizard forces on the Ground Level of Thousand Peak Domain had not discovered any abnormalities.

It was very possible that this was a Pollution Zone appearing underground rather than on the surface.

As Noland Lee read this part of the letter, he pondered for a moment before writing a Reply.

He informed Professor Erica about the occurrence of the Pollution Zone in the Dark Zone and asked her to keep it a secret on his behalf.

Considering Professor Erica to be one of his own, he shared the actual situation with her.

At the same time, he did not want others to know he had been to the Dark Zone, so he requested confidentiality.

Professor Erica discerned Noland Lee’s intentions from the letter.

After writing a reply reminding Noland Lee to stay safe, she didn’t inquire further.

After communicating with Selena, Denise Green, and Erica, Noland Lee then began to wait for the moment the Pollution Zone opened.

Time passed as Nolin mobilized mechanos to patrol the surroundings.
