Chapter 873: 272. Technology Assistant 3noveldrama

“Swish, swish…” The sound of rapidly approaching water interrupted Nolin’s words.

The two of them looked in the direction of the sound.

Selena, transformed into a cluster of water, streamed in through an opening in the ceiling and entered Underground Layer 2.

Selena transformed back into her human form, her water-blue liquid Magic Robe rippling, making her skin look even more radiant.

“Jarvis, I’m here.”

Selena glanced at the Metal Sphere floating above the tabletop and handed Noland Lee the Magic Pouch:

...

“Here, these are the Magic Stones, Soul-absorbing crystals, and gold coins you requested. The Wind type Magic Stones needed for the ‘Sonic Blast Magic Ring’ are all inside. I’ve bought you 10 pieces of the Large Absorbing Spirit Crystals filled with soul fragments. There’s a total of 300 coins of various denominations, valued at around 30 million in total.”

“You’ve worked hard, Selena.”

Noland Lee took the Magic Pouch, hung it at his waist, and pointed at the Metal Sphere as he introduced:

“This is Nolin, she’s already quite familiar with her own soul and Mental Magic. Nolin, this is Selena, she’s the Deep-sea Witch who brought your synthetic human body from the Wizard Enforcement Department. Once I secure the Subdimensional Plane in the future, she will serve as the Subdimensional Administrator.”

Selena said with a smile:

“I can’t forget the sight of your soul, Nolin. You’re very lucky to have met a powerful and order-loving male witch like Jarvis.”

“I extend my thanks to you, Miss,” Nolin’s sphere rotated:

“Mr. Jarvis has entrusted me to provide services in data calculation and plan extrapolation for your future work. Should you need anything, just command. According to the soul contract signed between Mr. Jarvis and me, you are the second priority in terms of service. I guarantee to be at your beck and call.”

“Oh? I’m the second priority for service, and Jarvis is the first?” Selena asked.

“Yes, Miss,” Nolin responded.

“Hmm, interesting,” Selena glanced at Noland Lee beside her:

“Nolin, what priority is Miss Denise Green as a service recipient?”

Nolin honestly answered:

“Miss Denise Green is the third priority for service, but she is the first priority for protection.”

Noland Lee raised his hand to touch his nose…

He suddenly realized setting Selena’s service priority too high might not be a good thing either…

The silly and naive witch, Denise Green, could be said to be single-minded and seldom delved deeply into the curious minutiae.

Selena was different.

She was efficient, sharp, experienced, and had a broader magic accomplishment and exposure to more people and events than Denise Green.

When it came to talking about the order of priorities, the same sentence would trigger completely different reactions from Denise Green and Selena.

Denise was more emotional.

Selena was clearly more rational and would easily detect the “cat’s paw” in the soul contract.

She looked at the somewhat embarrassed Noland Lee, the corners of her mouth tilting up, and then asked:

“Then what’s my priority level for protection, Nolin?”

“You are the fourth priority for protection.”

“Cough, cough.” Noland Lee coughed lightly and interjected:

“Selena, the arrangement is based on the relative strength in combat. The weaker in combat are at the front, the stronger ones are after. Isn’t it the same in the soul contract between the two of us? If both Denise and I are in danger at the same time, your priority to protect her is higher than protecting me. You haven’t forgotten that, have you…”

Selena raised an eyebrow and spoke with a smile:

“Of course, I haven’t forgotten. I was just a bit curious. What are you nervous about?”

“I’m not nervous…”

“Alright, alright, you’re not nervous,” Selena chuckled, her fair shoulders trembling slightly.

Noland Lee changed the subject with a clap of his hands:

“Time is pressing, both of you. We need to prepare the items and spells to deal with the Queen’s Domain quickly. Nolin, continue using your first Thought Thread to design the blueprints for the ‘Energy Neutralization Pulse Wave Projector.’ Leave your second Thought Thread empty for now, reserved for me and Selena.”

“Yes, Sir. I will design the blueprints as quickly as possible,”

Nolin affirmed and focused on using the Magic Pen to draw the blueprints.

Selena wasn’t too familiar with the term “Thought Thread” but didn’t inquire further.

She crossed her arms, cradling the full moon and quietly activated ‘Soul Perception,’ discussing with Noland Lee:

“Nolin is a female soul, right? It doesn’t seem right to have her always moving around as a Metal Sphere. Do you need me to find her an Illusion Body? The Academy has several spare ones used for teaching.”

“That would be ideal, Selena,” Noland Lee whispered back:

“Previously, Denise Green used the Resurrection Spell to detect that when Nolin transitions from an Ethereal Being to a flesh-and-blood body, she would lose many abilities. Temporarily using an Illusion Body as her form should be the best solution. I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Selena chuckled inwardly and imitated Nolin’s tone with meticulousness:

“Yes, Sir.”

Noland Lee was amused by Selena.

The more he interacted with this lady, the more he felt the playfulness hidden beneath her maturity.
