Chapter 908: 283. Loud Conspiracy_3
“First, you must try to avoid any contact with Noland Lee Jarvis and your sister Selena.
“If you must contact them, you must wear a Saint-tier Mental Protection Pendant and also drink an ‘Extreme Mind Protection Potion’ in advance.
“I have confirmed that Noland Lee Jarvis possesses Saint-tier mental faculties. Such a Mental Wizard is very adept at enhancing other’s positive feelings towards him through mental suggestion. Do not let his mental magic spells influence your decisions.
“Besides, Noland Lee Jarvis has mastered ‘Mind View.’ That is the spell he relied on to precisely control the thunderclouds.
“However, rest assured, the disadvantages of this spell are quite clear. As long as he looks at you for more than one second, you will detect it.
“You also don’t need to worry about domineering mental magic spells like ‘Mind Induction’ and ‘Mental Reading.’ As long as you stay alert, you can break them immediately.”
...
Lonco nodded:
“Yes, Your Excellency. Your reminder is timely.”
“The second thing,” Benjamin Jelani continued:
“The magic backlash suffered by Noland Lee Jarvis is very, very severe. Do you understand what I mean? He is likely unable to fulfill his Magic Contract with the Deep Sea Branch properly. Inform your father of this. He will make a decision.
“Whether to take this opportunity to make trouble or adopt a gentle attitude, that is for your father to decide. You must ask him first before communicating with your sister Selena.”
Having said that, Benjamin Jelani, amidst Lonco’s words of thanks, quickly traced some magical runes in the air with his fingers.
The magical runes, flickering with thunder and lightning, were as clear and bright as shattered glass.
The moment the magical runes took shape, Benjamin Jelani changed from pointing to slapping his palm towards the runes.
The runes transformed into electric light and shot into Lonco’s left forearm.
Lonco’s facial muscles twitched as he felt an electric shock-like sting, and his left forearm trembled uncontrollably.
Benjamin Jelani said:
“I have already sealed the dark clouds and left the magical runes to control the seal on your left forearm. When you get near the dark clouds, activate this rune to temporarily unseal and control them. Remember not to let the dark clouds appear within Noland Lee Jarvis’s sensor range. Even if he cannot break my seal, he can still use that wild magic to forcibly cause the clouds to explode. Do you understand?”
Lonco touched his stinging left forearm and nodded repeatedly in response.
Benjamin Jelani gave a few more instructions, his attitude becoming more amiable, as if he were dealing with his own junior.
Clint “Windhawk” occasionally chimed in with a word or two to give Lonco some advice.
The unpleasantness that arose previously due to Benjamin Jelani’s snatching of the dark clouds had dissipated, and the atmosphere on the scene eased a few degrees.
During the conversation, Lonco’s deputy sent a letter informing him that the spoils of war and the wizard criminals had all been dealt with.
Lonco returned to Subsea No.13 seabed and ordered the combat wizards to escort the criminals to the Island Affairs Department.
He, however, took all the collected magic stones with him.
Yorksim and many other wizards had all become Sin Wizard Level Criminals.
The combat wizards summoned by Lonco not only defeated the sea monsters, but they also captured people and evidence in the process.
The matter of Yorksim and others colluding with the Sirens Kingdom previously allowed room for the parties involved to defend themselves, but now, the details of the case were written by the victors.
The evidence of Yorksim and others colluding with the sea monsters was irrefutable.
To prevent further trouble, Lonco arrived at the sea surface above Subsea No.13 and opened up Teleportation Gates to the Deep Sea Branch and Ulnas Circle.
The wizards from the Deep Sea Branch escorted the criminals into the branch via teleportation.
The Water Clan Wizards, Ice Wizards, and so forth who were invited to help left the way they came, all flocking into the Teleportation Gate to Ulnas Circle.
Once there were no other figures left on the sea surface, Lonco climbed upwards, reaching thousands of meters into the sky.
He channeled soul energy into the magical runes on his left forearm, activating them.
Dozens of thick Lightning Lock Chains emerged from the runes, lunging at the dark clouds like the tentacles of a squid.
The dark clouds were bound by the Lightning Lock Chains.
The chains tightened inward, compressing the dark clouds to the size of a palm, turning them into a lifelike dark cloud toy.
Lonco, like flying a kite, dragged the cloud toy through the air using the Lightning Lock Chains, heading to meet with the two Saint Wizards.
During the flight, Lonco had already made up his mind.
Benjamin Jelani was asking for 200,000 Thunder Magic Stones, wasn’t he?
No problem.
This portion of the magic stones would be deducted from Noland Lee Jarvis’s rewards.
Even the reason for this was already thought out by Lonco.
According to the original plan, during the transaction between Yorksim and others and the sea monsters on the sea surface, Noland Lee Jarvis was supposed to bombard the sea monsters with the dark clouds.
But he, instead, intentionally let out a few rumbling thunders, driving the sea monsters to the seabed.
This approach might not have greatly affected the final outcome of the battle, but it ultimately went against the pre-battle plan and increased the chance of failure.
Lonco did not endorse such behavior.
This time, he would use this pretext to deduct the magic stones that should have been given to Noland Lee Jarvis and allocate them to Benjamin Jelani.
Lonco quickened his flying speed slightly, traveling at a speed just below the Mist Threshold right above the sea surface. noveldrama
What he didn’t know was that a covert yet sharp gaze had quietly swept over him.
This gaze lasted for only 0.1 seconds, giving him a mere glance before disappearing along with the “Tracking Mark” hidden beneath the sea surface.
