Chapter 1184: 370. Derivative Controversy_2
However, all the detection work had yielded nothing.
The Protective Array had no reaction.
The energy monitoring device showed no abnormalities.
The Array tracking the Metallic Gem Box had not responded.
All these developments caused Jay Spade to become increasingly desperate, as though he was witnessing his years of savings being destroyed in an instant.
Even more so, he directed his suspicions towards Paisi Dingda, who had just entered the room.
...
If he remembered correctly, this guy had disappeared right after the theft of the Gem Box, right?
If anyone had the deepest understanding of the defenses around the Metallic Gem Box, it was Paisi Dingda in this stronghold.
“Where were you?!” Jay Spade barely contained his rage and let out a stifled roar toward Paisi Dingda,
“Did you sneakily coordinate with the thief to take the Gem Box out while we were in chaos? You…”
Suddenly, Jay Spade choked as if something had seized his throat, unable to make any sound.
Paisi Dingda looked at him coldly and indifferently, without making any response.
Feeling like he had fallen into an ice cave, Jay Spade was completely immobilized, only feeling a deep fear for Paisi Dingda from within, breaking into a cold sweat, his body uncontrollably trembling.
The Light Wizards watching their superior’s disheveled appearance, although puzzled, dared not speak up.
Dead silence fell over the scene.
The task of breaking the deathly silence was eventually completed by the Magic Messenger.
Two urgent messages arrived in Jay Spade’s hands.
The pressure on Jay Spade lightened, allowing him to move freely.
He tried to shift his gaze away from the direction of Paisi Dingda and, keeping his head down, started to check the letters from the Grand Inquisitor Paredes and Elder Skimming Light.
About three minutes later.
Jay Spade’s pale face gained some color, as if he had found his backbone.
In fact, neither the Grand Inquisitor nor Elder Skimming Light had much criticism for him in their letters, and there was even no sign of punishment.
Jay Spade temporarily had no extra brain space to ponder why this was, only quietly grateful that he was not immediately dragged away for a trial.
He steadied himself and signaled to the Light Wizards nearby, beginning to issue orders.
What he didn’t know was that these commands actually came from Paisi Dingda in front of him, more precisely, from Tarsali behind Paisi Dingda.
“Following instructions from Elder Skimming Light, I now need a reliable team to gather information on Wandering Wizards that have appeared around Revival City lately…”
“You, you, and you, go to the Earth Vein Pillar, tell them that I want to see a list of Wandering Wizards by noon tomorrow.”
“Lamont, you’ve been here the longest, the task of collecting information related to Grey Wizards falls to you. By tomorrow evening at the latest, I need to know which Grey Wizards have shown up in Revival City recently.”
“Yes, sir.”
The Light Wizards who received the orders turned and left.
Once out of Jay Spade’s sight, several of them couldn’t help but wipe the sweat beneath their masks.
After this group of Light Wizards had left, another letter arrived.
This letter gave Jay Spade a bit more vitality! noveldrama
The Grand Inquisitor had actually arranged for 300 Light Wizards to be at his disposal!
They were to arrive tomorrow.
The Grand Inquisitor had formally requested the cooperation from the Earth Vein Pillar with all of Jay Spade’s investigative efforts.
The reason given by the Grand Inquisitor was that the Pure Light Court had lost an extremely important Magical Item within Revival City.
Owing to the authoritative style typical of the Pure Light Court, the Earth Vein Pillar would not know what this item was, yet they needed to cooperate fully with the Pure Light Court.
Seeing that everything was well arranged, Paisi Dingda nodded slightly to Jay Spade and turned to head towards his own bedroom.
At the same time, across the vast ocean on Alchemist Island at Baldur’s Gate, known as “The Heart of the World,” the Metal Ancestor Dragon was undergoing another operation.
Baldur’s Gate had three Magic Ship Factories.
Two of them were under the ownership of the Wealth Creation Society.
The third one had been sold to the Pure Light Court by the Wealth Creation Society two years ago, and this Magic Ship Factory had been closed to the public since last year.
Its scale was relatively small, only capable of repairing or building one Magic Ship at a time.
At this moment, the Magic Ship that once belonged to the Eight-Circle Metal Wizard Berkeley became the only “customer” inside this Magic Ship Factory.
What outsiders didn’t know was that this Magic Ship had long been repaired, and it had been outfitted with many technologically enhanced items.
A year ago, a Star Fleet from Outer Space was shot down by the wizards of the Ulnas Circle, with only one large Boar-class heavy transport ship remaining intact.
The Power Furnace, Inertial Dampener, Accelerator, and other core items from the transport ship had all been taken by the Pure Light Court for research.
The novel items now appearing on the Magic Ship were the results of the past year’s work by the Pure Light Court, which had converted them based on the technological products from the Metal Creation Group into semi-technological, semi-magic ship equipment.
They largely retained their technological appearance—iron-gray metal shells, reinforced with rivets or formed as a single unit, emphasizing simplicity and functionality.
However, inside, they were powered by Magic Power.
Arrays replaced chips, Magic Chains replaced circuits, and palm-sized Magic Servants replaced sensors…
The inner changes did not affect the operation and use of the equipment, a compromise by the Pure Light Court due to the lack of special materials from Outer Space.
