Chapter 874: 273. Strength Surges Dramatically
Selena’s efficiency was indeed high.
After leaving the Underground Laboratory, she went to the Teaching District of the Deep Sea Branch and brought back three Illusion Bodies.
The name “Illusion Body” might lead one to believe it’s purely created by Illusion Magic.
But in fact, that’s not the case.
Essentially, it is a magic puppet that specific casters can manipulate.
These magic puppets are crafted by magic craftsmen and usually resemble dolls or mannequins in appearance.
...
After being enchanted with the effect of Illusion Magic, the appearance of the magic puppet then transforms into a translucent humanoid species in the eyes of people.
If a detection spell is cast on the Illusion Body, or if Magic Vision is activated, it’s still possible to see through the illusion and see its true form.
The three Illusion Bodies that Selena had brought back were of the appearances of a 20-year-old girl in her youth, a 25-year-old young woman, and a 30-year-old mature woman.
Nolin was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked Selena for her care.
She tried all three Illusion Bodies and ultimately chose the one of a 25-year-old.
Nolin abandoned the Metal Creation Group’s distinctive wide forehead, high hairline, and high cheekbones, opting instead for the facial features of the Ulnas Circle people.
Selena helped her fine-tune some of the facial details.
Half an hour later, Nolin transformed, turning from a Metal Sphere into a young female Top Student who looked scholarly and somewhat stiff at first glance.
She donned a simple white Magic Robe and wore round glasses typical of a Scholar, seamlessly transitioning from a synthetic human created by technology into the World of Wizards.
Noland Lee witnessed Nolin’s transformation from the sidelines.
“Illusion Bodies are still a bit risky; their defensive capabilities are too weak to protect the Computing Array that houses your soul.
“After we deal with the Sea Monsters, I’ll go ask the Professor for information about ethereal beings and find a way to give you a more powerful body,” he said.
Nolin tore her gaze away from the Floor Mirror. noveldrama
She looked at Noland, hands dangling in front of her, palms stacked, and bowed slightly:
“Thank you, Sir. I appreciate your efforts.”
Nolin then turned to Selena who was beside her:
“And thank you too, Madam. This Illusion Body is splendid; it suits me well.”
Obedient, polite, and competent—who wouldn’t like such a Female Assistant?
Selena raised a gentle smile and took Nolin’s hand:
“Jarvis is better at dealing with enemies and creating magical devices and spells, while managing personnel and communication is my duty. If you need any help in the future, just let me know.”
Nolin’s eyes shimmered, momentarily dazed as she looked at Selena, who was like a big sister to her:
“Yes, sure, Madam.”
Noland couldn’t help but admire Selena’s warmth; with a few simple words and an Illusion Body, she had won Nolin over…
Noland waved his hand and beckoned the two to follow him:
“Let’s head back inside. Denise has prepared dinner. Today we’ve signed contracts with the Pangula family and the Farrell Clan, and Nolin has been reborn, temporarily acquiring an Illusion Body. With two happy events happening on the same day, we should celebrate.”
“Back inside…” Nolin muttered, as if only then remembering that as a human she should have a place to live:
“May I join you for dinner as well?”
Selena gently stroked the back of her hand and said:
“Of course, you can. We would be delighted to have you join us for dinner. Denise has also arranged a suite for you on the ground level, which includes a Bedroom, a small Living Room, a Study Room, and a private Washing Room. That will be your personal space. You can use all the facilities there, but you need to stay away from flames and thunder and lightning; your Illusion Body cannot withstand high temperatures or electric shocks.”
With a snap of her fingers, Selena summoned a Water Curtain that enveloped Nolin.
The two followed Noland, flying toward the Skylight on the Ceiling from the First Underground Level and entering the Ground Level living quarters.
…
…
After a joyful dinner.
Denise was meditating in the Bedroom.
Selena went to her Study Room to deal with the backlog of documents on her desk.
Nolin received a Magic Ring enchanted with various Spell effects.
By simply twisting the ring, she could cast spells like “Death Flight” and “Magic Shield.”
In this way, even without Selena’s assistance, she could now move between the areas above ground and Underground Layer 2.
As an Artifact Spirit that did not need rest, Nolin visited her suite after dinner, thanked Denise, and then returned with Noland to Underground Layer 2.
Nolin continued to manipulate the Magic Pen, making blueprints for the “Energy Neutralization Pulse Wave Projector.”
Meanwhile, Noland discussed strategies for dealing with the Sea Monsters with Nolin while also practicing the Strong Metal Fusion Meditation Method.
He had acquired a Strong Metal Fusion Meditation Method that could be cultivated up to the Sixth ring level, which means the upper Level limit was 180.
His current Meditation Experience Level was 100.
With Nolin, a proficient computing assistant, Noland naturally didn’t need to exhaust his brain cells calculating the optimum plan for cultivating Strong Metal Fusion from Level 100 to 180.
Noland omitted elements that couldn’t be known by others, such as “Energy Points,” “Meditation Experience,” “Fused Gold Coins,” and the like, and packaged the problem of devising the best plan for cultivating Strong Metal Fusion into a series of mathematical problems which he threw to Nolin.
Engaging her No.2 Mental Thread, Nolin calculated for a moment and in less than a second, she produced a clear conclusion.
