Chapter 1170: 365. The Weight of the Truth_2

The Metal Ancestor Dragon could see, hear, and smell everything encountered by Paisi Dingda through such a small and exquisite device.

When necessary, the Metal Ancestor Dragon could also forcefully take control of Paisi Dingda’s body, becoming the master of the synthetic human wizard’s form.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Synthetic Human Main Control Chip that Paisi Dingda, as a wizard of the metal series, had mastered some of the extraordinary abilities from the Metal Ancestor Dragon.

Among these was the “Metallic Assimilation,” which allowed the assimilation of any metal entity.

The gem box that Paisi Dingda gave to Jay Spade had already been assimilated by him using this ability.

In other words, that gem box was a “surveillance camera.”

...

If anyone dared to tamper with the contents of the box, Paisi Dingda would be the first to know, and then Jay Spade would find out.

Noland Lee reviewed the method to unlock the Encrypted Gem Box.

The first step was to isolate Paisi Dingda’s influence on it and eliminate the metal magic on the box.

Then he would use the Rune Staff to inscribe specific magical runes and unlock the box’s Guardian Magic Circle to retrieve its contents.

Noland Lee thought quickly:

“The Gem Box is constantly under the surveillance of the Synthetic Human Main Control Chip. Once it’s out of range, the Master Control Chip will immediately alert the Metal Ancestor Dragon and Paisi Dingda.

“Even the Assassin Angel’s ‘Veil of Different Worlds,’ however strong it may be, can only hide specific things and would also trigger the chip’s alarm.

“Then it looks like the key lies in the Synthetic Human Main Control Chip inside Paisi Dingda after all…”

After giving it some thought, Noland Lee asked the Assassin Angel:

“Your Excellency, I see the gem box is made of metal. Has it been assimilated by the Metal Ancestor Dragon? If we steal it, wouldn’t the Metal Ancestor Dragon discover it?”

The Assassin Angel responded:

“This is exactly what I am concerned about now. My ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ can ensure that the Gem Box isn’t found by the Metal Ancestor Dragon after it’s stolen, but it can’t prevent the Metal Ancestor Dragon from detecting the theft. If the Metal Ancestor Dragon utilizes some method to search widely for the box, and you happen to have not left the area yet, there’s still a chance our whereabouts could be exposed.”

The Assassin Angel let out a rare sigh:

“My power to enter the Inner Cosmos is too weak to contend with the Metal Ancestor Dragon. I can’t help you immediately move away from this area; at most, I can use the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ to hide your trail. After obtaining the Gem Box, you’ll have to rely more on your own efforts to escape the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s tracking.”

Noland Lee frowned slightly and asked:

“Can the Metal Ancestor Dragon see through the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’?” noveldrama

The Assassin Angel replied:

“It cannot. However, there are comparatively few extraordinary methods that can deceive the Metal Ancestor Dragon. It could deduce who used what techniques to steal the gem box by a process of elimination.”

Noland Lee raised an eyebrow:

“Oh, I understand what you mean. Once the Gem Box is stolen, the Metal Ancestor Dragon could potentially deduce, after evaluating all clues, that it is you, the Assassin Angel targeting it, right?”

“Yes, exactly. But the situation isn’t so pessimistic,” the Assassin Angel said:

“According to my guess, there are at least five suspects that the Metal Ancestor Dragon will consider when the Gem Box is stolen, and I’m just one of them. My real body is still sealed within the Main Brain Controller of Angel Enterprises Alliance. If the Metal Ancestor Dragon sends spies to check on the main brain controller, my suspicion can be preliminarily eliminated. It won’t use detection methods specifically designed for me to search for the Gem Box.”

Noland Lee clenched his fist and tapped his palm with it, now he understood the crux of the whole affair.

The essence was in how quickly he could leave Tatis.

The sooner he carried the box away, the lower the chance the Metal Ancestor Dragon would discover him.

Once the initial suspicion passed, the Metal Ancestor Dragon wouldn’t suspect the Assassin Angel of any mischief.

Noland Lee turned to look at Denise Green, who was packing up luggage, a hesitant light flashing in his eyes.

Denise Green’s current teleportation range was 350 kilometers, quite large and convenient.

With her help, Noland Lee could accomplish much more efficiently.

But reminded of the danger of the Metal Ancestor Dragon, Noland Lee was reluctant to involve Denise Green.

“Your Excellency, can you protect Denise Green with the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’? If possible, having her teleport me away from here would be the safest and quickest method,” Noland Lee thought to himself.

The Assassin Angel said:

“This action will cause my power to deplete severely, but I can still protect your Companion Witch with the ‘Veil of Different Worlds.’ The more troublesome part is that I can’t conceal the phenomenon in the Heavens when you open the Teleportation Gate. If you don’t want the Metal Ancestor Dragon to see the gate to the Suman Archipelago, you will need to find another way off Alchemist Island.”

Noland Lee nodded slightly.

He had plenty of methods to leave Alchemist Island, so that wasn’t a worry.

But the next second, Noland Lee detected something amiss:

“Your Excellency, can you replenish your power by absorbing the Luminous of the Fire of St. Dylan?”

The Assassin Angel fell silent.

After a long while, just as Denise Green had finished packing everything and came to call Noland Lee to depart, the Assassin Angel finally spoke:
