Chapter 904: 282. Dismounted Majesty (Part 2)
This was the price information that Noland Lee had learned from Selena.
At first glance, with 7 billion units of Thunder and Lightning Energy, Noland could sell it for around 3 billion.
But actually, the math wasn’t quite that simple.
The Thundercloud had been summoned by Noland Lee.
Before Benjamin Jelani could use the energy within the Thundercloud, he first needed Noland Lee to release his own bind on it.
Only after this step would the energy in the Thundercloud become unowned.
...
Correspondingly, the moment Noland Lee released control of the Thundercloud, the energy would dissipate rapidly.
It was estimated that the dissipation rate could reach about 10% per second.
How much Thunder and Lightning Energy Benjamin Jelani could actually harvest from the Thundercloud depended on his personal control over wild energy masses.
Noland Lee looked around with his Magic Vision and saw no trace of Benjamin Jelani.
Since that was the case, he might as well lure Benjamin Jelani out using the Thundercloud and then launch his Deconstruction technique.
Noland Lee nodded silently and turned to say:
“Nolin, I’m going to take back your control over the Thundercloud. I plan to hand the energy from the Thundercloud over for the Deep Sea Branch to use. You don’t mind, do you?”
“I don’t mind, Sir. I follow all your arrangements,” Nolin said, pushing her glasses up honestly and nodding her head.
Such an obedient girl with glasses, and so capable too.
Noland Lee silently praised her and made a move in his mind.
The “Tracking Mark (No.3)” shared with Nolin was taken back by Noland Lee.
Nolin lost control over the Thundercloud.
Noland Lee used “Mind Capture” to pick up a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Selena.
He arranged with her that he would immediately release control over the Thundercloud when a Saint Level Thunder Wizard appeared near it.
After that, he, Noland Lee, would have no say in what happened next—it all depended on how the Saint Level Thunder Wizard dealt with it.
Noland Lee stuffed the letter he had written into Kitty’s envelope bag, fed her a handful of delicious Cat Food, and stroked her firmly for a while before letting her leave.
Half a minute later, Selena’s Reply arrived.
Noland Lee took a quick look at it and set it aside, turning his attention back to the Magic Vision of the Thundercloud.
“Nolin, scan the Thundercloud’s perspective and aim to discover the trace of the Saint Level Thunder Wizard the moment he appears,” Noland Lee commanded.
“Yes, Sir!”
Nolin closed her eyes, rallying all her computational power to watch every frame displayed in the Magic Vision.
Almost the second she closed her eyes, a system message appeared in Noland Lee’s mind.
[Warning!]
[“Benjamin Jelani” is using an unnamed spell on your “Thundercloud”!]
[The opponent is trying to forcibly take over the energy of the “Thundercloud”!]
Noland Lee raised an eyebrow.
What does this mean?
Not even a greeting, and he’s coming up to snatch the Thundercloud?
I’m already willing to give up the Thunder and Lightning Energy, so why still resort to such underhanded tactics?
Oh, I understand!
A light flashed in Noland Lee’s eyes.
He knew what the other party was doing.
Benjamin Jelani was helping Hotams capture experimental subjects!
He needed to get a sample of the Thundercloud in hand before Hotams could develop a corresponding spell!
Noland Lee thought quickly.
The weakness of “Thundercloud Technique” was explicitly listed in the Panel Information: one of its weaknesses was that control could be forcibly taken away, or the energy directly seized by someone else.
When Noland Lee first read about this weakness, the countermeasure he thought of was to dissolve the Thundercloud.
Once it was dissolved, it would become a rapidly dissipating energy mass, and naturally, the enemy would only be able to obtain a minimal amount of it.
But now…
With a thought, Noland Lee refrained from dissolving the Thundercloud, not worried that the opponent would use the Thundercloud against him after snatching it.
He planned to test an intriguing idea.
“Nolin, have you found that Saint Level Thunder Wizard? My Thundercloud seems to be unstable due to some kind of interference,” said Noland Lee.
Nolin, sweating bullets on her forehead, spoke with urgency in her voice:
“I’m sorry, Sir. I’m sorry. I couldn’t find him… I’m sorry, I’m useless…”
“No, no, no, it’s okay, Nolin.” Noland Lee waved his hands:
“This isn’t your fault. If a Saint Wizard’s stealth tactics could be easily seen through by you, he wouldn’t be a Saint Wizard. Don’t let this minor setback shake your confidence.”
“Yes, Sir, I just fear that I can’t be of help to you…” Nolin said self-reproachfully.
“It’s okay, it’s a trivial matter. Everyone has their own areas of expertise,” Noland Lee thought for a moment and then said:
“Here’s what we’ll do, you keep an eye on the seabed and see how that Saint Level Thunder Wizard will use my Thunder and Lightning Energy.”
“Alright, Sir. I will complete the Task,” Nolin nodded slightly, a bit calmer now.
Noland Lee calmed himself and brought up the “Thundercloud’s” Panel Info, placing it right in front of him.
An unknown effect appeared on the “Thundercloud’s” status bar.
Noland Lee targeted this unknown effect and launched his Deconstruction Technique. noveldrama
[Deconstruction Success!]
