Chapter 1047: 326. Peerless Secret_2
Noland Lee was very curious to know what the two sides had to say to each other.
After some thought, he decided to send Nolin to find Nicolette.
Nicolette had no interest in fighting and killing.
Seeing that Nolin could not extricate herself, she went to the beach to collect shells.
Nicolette took her to Underground Layer 2, and placed a “Tracking Mark” on her, saying that Noland Lee urgently needed to see her.
Noland Lee also placed a “Tracking Mark” on Omar Goddard’s pendant.
...
With these two marks, there was now a bridge of communication between Nicolette and Omar Goddard.
If the Assassin Angel intended to communicate with Omar Goddard, then Noland Lee only needed to take this step to consider his great task accomplished.
“I feel a strange yet familiar extraordinary power…”
Omar Goddard whispered a few words in Noland Lee’s ear:
“This power is identical to the rune you showed…” noveldrama
His voice faded from Noland Lee’s ear, seemingly beginning a conversation with the Assassin Angel.
Noland Lee didn’t disturb the two of them.
He focused his attention on chasing down the Demon Wizard.
This guy was adept at Ice style and Water Clan magic, fleeing while throwing up ice walls and creating obstacles, and sometimes he would set frost traps in corners or cover the ground with quagmires.
Noland Lee’s progress slowed slightly, but he relentlessly chased the wizard.
He was in no hurry.
Because the Demon Wizard could not resist Mental Magic.
Noland Lee seemed to be blocked by the other’s tricks, but he remained as steady as an old dog at heart.
In just about 3 more minutes, the Demon Wizard running ahead would die with his head bursting open.
Two minutes later.
Noland Lee caught up to the Demon Wizard’s figure and began to bombard him with thunder and lightning to cover his Mental Magic.
Omar Goddard had finished talking with the Assassin Angel.
Nicolette lay dozing off, sleeping on the table next to Nolin.
Omar Goddard then said to Noland Lee:
“Kindhearted Wizard… I know what’s going on now, but I can’t explain it to you for the time being.”
Sadness tinged Omar Goddard’s voice, as if he had received some ominous news from the Assassin Angel.
Noland Lee glanced down at the pendant, and unleashed a Deconstruction Technique.
Ah, that’s bad.
The pendant could not be Deconstructed to obtain Omar Goddard’s Memory Fragment.
He would have to open the pendant and aim at the little radiant points to activate the Deconstruction Technique.
Noland Lee was not worried.
He calmly replied:
“No problem. Give me some time, and I’ll soon have dealt with the enemy in front of me.”
“I’d like to ask you to do something,” said Omar Goddard:
“After you dispose of that enemy, please remove your Disguise Spell and let the bloodstains cause chaos.”
Noland Lee was slightly startled:
“Why?”
Omar Goddard explained:
“The bloodstains will be attracted to the strength of your body and will wrap around you, taking you directly to the Blood Binder’s Resurrection Space. You can use that rune immediately to handle Blood Binder Zudak. The ceremony that maintains the existence of the Pollution Zone will continue to be upheld by the Grey Wizards, but the master of the Pollution Zone will have already died by your hand. I can take the opportunity to transfer my soul and Extraordinary Traits here.”
Noland Lee listened with furrowed brows:
“Wait a second, did I misunderstand something? You just said that when I’m wrapped in the bloodstains, I’ll go straight to meeting Blood Binder Zudak, right?”
“That’s right,” Omar Goddard said:
“Don’t worry about the bloodstains harming you. In fact, for Blood Binder Zudak to resurrect, your survival is necessary. So when you meet him, you will definitely still be alive.”
Noland Lee said:
“Still alive? That doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll be in one piece.”
Omar Goddard hesitated in his reply:
“… There are indeed some risks. But I will compensate you afterward if you suffer any loss.”
Noland Lee felt there was a catch.
What exactly did the Assassin Angel say to Omar Goddard just now?
How did a straightforward and simple man become so evasive and hesitant?
Seeing Noland Lee’s silence, Omar Goddard decided to speak up:
“We can make a soul contract, Kindhearted Wizard. I will guarantee in the contract that you will leave the Pollution Zone safe and sound, and you will receive the remuneration you deserve. Knowledge, history, secrets, Extraordinary Traits—you can have anything you want, as long as I have it, I can give it to you.
“All that I and the Assassin Angel expect of you is to kill Blood Binder Zudak and end him here.”
An invisible rhythm flowed from the pendant, entering Noland Lee’s mind.
A soull contract book appeared before Noland Lee’s eyes, with the clauses floating above the paper, approximately a few hundred words, quite succinct.
Noland Lee cast Deconstruction Technique and briefly scanned it.
The content of the contract was consistent with what Omar Goddard had said.
The other party would ensure Noland Lee’s survival and intact departure from the Pollution Zone.
Furthermore, after killing Blood Binder Zudak, Noland Lee could obtain one piece each of knowledge, secrets, history, and Extraordinary Traits.
These rewards would be in addition to the knowledge rewards verbally promised by the Assassin Angel.
Such generous rewards naturally made Noland Lee think of the risks behind them.
Given Noland Lee’s character and usual way of doing things, he wouldn’t take on a Task that offered generous remuneration but didn’t allow him to gather adequate information through Deconstruction Technique.
Perhaps sensing Noland Lee’s hesitation, Omar Goddard after much deliberation, decided to divulge a small part of the matter.
“Here’s the thing, Kindhearted Wizard. I am willing to earn your trust with some truths.”
