Looking at the overall situation:
Sidney Pomida’s sending Marslank to spy on Nolin’s Magic Laboratory was just a result of a sudden whim.noveldrama
He wanted to see what his sister Selena was researching.
Most of the memory fragments Noland Lee obtained were complete.
The only exception was “Memory Fragment Three,” with a completeness of 20%.
Noland Lee clicked to take a closer look.
The missing content in this fragment was exactly the part where Sidney Pomida had spiritual communication with the Dark Scale Elder.
Such memory fragment loss due to involvement in spiritual communication is quite common among many wizards.
Although Sidney Pomida’s act of prying into the laboratory was impulsive, the final spying results must have been conveyed to the Dark Scale Elder.
Based on this, Noland Lee decided to have Selena change Nolin’s laboratory and only allow Selena herself to enter, no longer allowing the deep-sea wizards to pass on the magic materials.
Noland Lee also noticed that Sidney Pomida’s spiritual contact with the Dark Scale Elder occurred 40 hours ago.
And in Memory Fragment One, the event of Sidney Pomida killing Marslank in the deep sea and grinding the corpse took place 41 hours ago.
That is to say, 42 hours ago, after Marslank had stolen the experimental data from the Magic Laboratory, Sidney Pomida completed a series of operations within the next two hours, including the murder cover-up, destroying the body, and reporting to the Dark Scales.
Tsk tsk tsk, just look at the efficiency, the method, the style, and the mastery.
Sidney Pomida is definitely a habitual offender.
For ordinary enforcement wizards, even if they knew he was the main culprit behind the murder of Marslank, they would be helpless.
One reason is his own identity and status, but more importantly, his control over the Core Circle.
Selena is only responsible for liaising with the wizard forces of the Suman Archipelago.
Selena’s elder brother, Lonco Pomida, can be considered an “external guardian,” responsible only for dealing with external threats to the Deep Sea Branch and is rarely inside the Academy.
The “internal protection” work of the Deep Sea Branch is Sidney Pomida’s responsibility.
As a Nine Circles Deep Sea Wizard, like Selena, he owns several Miniature Oceans.
A Miniature Ocean is akin to a small teleportation pathway, capable of transporting people to a designated location.
Sidney Pomida controls over a dozen little-known Miniature Oceans, allowing him to bypass surveillance and reach the sea areas on the east, west, south, and north sides of the Suman Archipelago directly.
Not only that, but he also has an incredibly lifelike Illusion Avatar, used to deal with visiting students when his true body is absent.
With Deconstruction in hand, Noland Lee naturally doesn’t need to worry about being fooled by an Illusion Avatar, but the wizard students of the Deep Sea Branch do not have this capability.
Those who come to visit his mentor, professors, family members, and other important people will always send a letter first or go through a visitation procedure at the castle guard, which undoubtedly gives him time to react.
Up until now, no one has detected Sidney Pomida’s Illusion Avatar.
Where is this avatar now?
Correct, it is currently guarding the Meditation Storage Box for its true body.
An Illusion Avatar is a creation of Illusion Magic.
Although fragile and lacking any combat strength other than deception, it maintains a constant spiritual connection with Sidney Pomida as an avatar of magic.
At this moment, Sidney Pomida is in the northern area of the Core Circle.
His Illusion Avatar is located in the center of the Suman Archipelago, hidden in an Underground Hidden Chamber on a certain island.
In that Hidden Chamber, besides the Meditation Storage Box watched by the Illusion Avatar, there are also:
Several Miniature Oceans secretly constructed by Sidney Pomida;
A treasure vault filled with gold coins and personal collections;
And a large number of Magic books, magic materials, and Magical Elixirs that Sidney Pomida has stolen from the branch.
Noland Lee has managed to find out everything about the Hidden Chamber’s content, mechanisms, traps, locks, guards, and so forth from his memories.
If he doesn’t turn the Hidden Chamber upside down, Noland Lee will write his own name backward.
What Noland Lee needs to be extra careful about is that because of the spiritual connection between the Illusion Avatar and its true body, any carelessness could trigger Sidney Pomida’s alertness.
This would require him to quickly cast “sense tampering” to interfere with the avatar’s judgment.
In any case, an extremely secretive and lucrative operation is at the ready and cannot be held back.
Noland Lee has also not forgotten to use Deconstruction to examine Sidney Pomida’s soul contract with the Dark Scale Elder.
There isn’t much to say about the content of the contract.
It’s just the mutual trust and benefit sharing between Sidney Pomida and the Dark Scale Elder, with no additional effects like “Soul Perception.”
“Mr. Jarvis…”
Sidney Pomida picked up the Tea Cup, leisurely blew away the White Fog on the surface of the Water, and took a sip.
