Chapter 812: 257. Ironclad Evidence of the Hidden Chamber 2
He set down his tea cup and looked at Noland Lee, saying,
“Regarding the Marslank affair, I have told you all I know. If you still have any doubts, please feel free to ask.”
“I appreciate your cooperation,” Noland Lee nodded slightly towards him.
“I hear you’ve been living in the Core Circle recently, haven’t you, Jarvis?” Sidney Palmida said with a half-smiling expression,
“It seems you quite enjoy the living environment within the Core Circle—clear sea water, refreshing air, the calm sea surface. If you want to move to a larger stone house in the Visitor’s Area, just let me know. I’ll select a few prime locations for you. You also have a Resurrection Witch for company, right? She seems to stick to you like a shadow, only staying alone when you leave the Core Circle.”
Sidney Palmida’s smile widened,
“Don’t worry, Jarvis. As a counter-defence wizard of the Deep Sea Branch and a private friend of Selena’s, your Resurrection Witch will be safe while you’re away from the Core Circle—I guarantee it.”
“Oh, then thank you for your care,” Noland Lee responded with a smile,
“It’s not early anymore, Pomida. I won’t disturb you from handling your academic affairs.”
“Take care, Jarvis,” Sidney Palmida stood up and escorted Noland Lee to the door.
Noland Lee bid farewell at the door and stepped into the Corridor.
A faint cold light flashed through the depths of Noland Lee’s eyes.
Noland Lee possessed a “Hatred Value” panel.
He had precisely caught the dark intentions Sidney Palmida harbored when he brought up Denise Green.
The moment Sidney Palmida had turned the conversation to Denise, the “Hatred Value” on the panel had significantly risen.
Heh.
Selena’s second brother?
Even if Selena herself defected to the sea monsters, Noland Lee would slay her without hesitation, let alone a traitor who meant nothing to him.
Of course, Selena would never defect—otherwise, Noland Lee wouldn’t have signed a soul contract with her.
When it came to judging people, Noland Lee was always adept.
Simply eliminating Sidney Palmida was not the result Noland Lee wanted.
He planned to make good use of this opportunity.

…
Several hours later.
Suman Archipelago, Outer Ring.
Isle number 52335.
This was a medium-sized isle, its greatest width over 110 kilometers.
There were several low mountains on the island, an artificially created freshwater lake, and a Sea Water Purification Workshop.
The scale of the Purification Workshop was quite large, occupying all of the mountaintops. The freshwater lake, encircled by mountains, was being used as an open reservoir by the workshop.
If one were to make a simple inquiry at the Island Affairs Department in the City of Suman, it wouldn’t be difficult to learn that this purification workshop was an asset of the Deep Sea Branch.
It was specifically responsible for conducting magic experiments here, testing the purification effects of different water purification methods on the sea water of the Outer Ring.
It was dusk.
The sunset glow reddened the treetops of the dense forest and sprinkled light patches on the freshwater lake.
The workshop wizards of the Purification Workshop completed their shift handovers—those on duty remained, and those who finished rested. No one noticed that the underground world a kilometer below was stirring with ripples.
“Boom…”
“Boom…”
“Boom…”noveldrama
The deep thuds echoed throughout the pitch-black underground space.
The hollow-eyed skeletons silently watched as the Rock Spirit swung its fists.
With each punch the Rock Spirit threw at the stone in front of it, a streak of brown earth energy radiance emerged from its fist, piercing into the dull stone wall.
The stone wall melted like wax, caving inwards and forming a cubic tunnel three meters in height, width, and length.
Once the tunnel was shaped, the Rock Spirit took a few steps forward, swung its fist again, and with the brown earth energy, opened another section of the tunnel at the far end of the wall.
“Hmm, not bad, this ‘Stone Passage’ spell is pretty handy,” Noland Lee commented as a skeleton, shaking his head and looking up,
“The noise and vibrations are a bit loud though, easily detectable by the workshop wizards above ground. Luckily, my ‘Perception Obstruction’ significantly lowers the wizards’ ability to perceive underground vibrations. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to sneak into Sidney Palmida’s hidden chamber from below.”
Noland Lee used the “Tracking Mark” placed on the ground to confirm his location.
He clenched his fist toward the Rock Spirit.
The Rock Spirit immediately stopped its fists, ceasing to make more noise.
Noland Lee crouched down, his bone palm pressing to the ground.
An invisible spell wave emerged from his palm, burrowing into the hard rock and soil below.
This was a high-level rock and soil series spell, “Detect Geomancy Energy.”
Wizards of the Pangula Family used this spell to search vaguely for underground ore veins.
Now, it served as Noland Lee’s means of pinpointing the hidden chamber.
“Detect Geomancy Energy” did not provide Magic Vision.
The spell wave radiated from Noland Lee’s palm, extending in the direction it was aimed. When it encountered a section of rock whose density changed dramatically, the spell wave would return along its path.
At this point, as the caster, Noland Lee would vaguely sense something unusual underground.
By changing angles and casting locations, casting multiple times could improve the spell’s accuracy.
But for Noland Lee, that was unnecessary.
He just wanted to use the spell to ensure he was on the right path.
“Directly below, roughly… five hundred meters down, yes, that should be Sidney Palmida’s hidden chamber, no mistake.”
Noland Lee reached into the Blood Gathering Array, pulling out a Mechanos equipped with a drill bit.
