Chapter 917: 286. Setting one’s own deathtrap_2
“Hmm, yes.” Denise Green touched her head and asked,
“Do you want to delete this clause? Or lower the amount of compensation?”
Noland Lee smiled and shook his hand,
“No. I won’t do that. Even if I really applied to modify the clause, Mingwaq Pomida wouldn’t agree.”
“Then what are your thoughts?” Denise asked, scratching her head in confusion.
“When I brandish the dagger in front of the enemy, there is only one thing on the enemy’s mind.”
...
Noland Lee pointed to his own body:
“That is how to force me into a state where I can’t use spells, and then drive the dagger into my heart. Right?”
“Yes,” Denise said, still not fully understanding.
“But here comes the problem, who said that this dagger is my weakness?”
Noland Lee smiled wickedly.
With the speed of lightning, he picked up the dagger from the table, tore open the clothes at his chest, and plunged it straight into his heart!
“Ah! Don’t do that, Jarvis!”
Denise screamed in horror!
She was certain that he had no shield on him!
But…
“Clang!”
The sound of metal striking metal burst forth!
The dagger broke!
It was as if it had struck solid steel and, under Denise’s watchful eyes, it shattered into several pieces.
“Ting, ting, tong…”
The fragments of the dagger scattered all over the floor.
Looking back at Noland Lee’s chest,
Not even a shallow scratch was left by the dagger.
“I never said the dagger was my weakness, just as I never admitted that the compensation clause in the contract was my true vulnerable point.”
Noland Lee used “Mind Capture” to pick up the fragments of the dagger from the ground and placed them on the table in front of Denise:
“Anyone fixated on using the contract clauses against me will shatter against my body just like this dagger.
“Because, from the beginning, the terms of the magic contract and my desire to obtain the Sub-Dimensional Plane from the Ulnas Circle were just my tools and excuses.”
Denise stared at the shattered dagger on the tabletop:
“How can your body be so strong?”
Denise cast a Rebirth Detection Spell:
“Strange, the feedback from the spell doesn’t show anything unique. Your body seems no different from that of an ordinary male human…”
Noland Lee chuckled and said nothing.
This was the effect of a 100-level “Disguise as a Living Corpse.”
Denise’s detection spell, being less than Level 50, couldn’t possibly see through his disguise.
“Whether my body is strong is not the point, Denise.”
Noland Lee swept the fragments of the dagger into his magic pouch:
“The point is, I actually don’t plan to obtain the Sub-Dimensional Plane I want through conventional means. Of course, you can also understand that, because of recent events, I have made changes to the plan.
“But no matter what the truth is, I hope you will do something for me.”
Denise slightly tilted her head:
“What is it?”
Noland Lee pondered for a moment and then said,
“Go to your Professor and tell her:
“As long as she can help us deal with the issue of time flow speed in the Magic Relics and ensure that you and I can safely return from them, I am willing to give her half of what I find on each exploration.”
Denise exclaimed,
“We’re going to explore Magic Relics? When? Is it in the next few months?” noveldrama
“Yes, but it’s still just a preliminary plan right now,” Noland Lee said, stroking her head.
“If you’re scared, you can wait for me on Island 33.”
Denise grabbed Noland Lee’s hand:
“No! I’m not afraid! I will go with you.
“I can’t yet cast spells across dimensional planes. If you encounter trouble in the Magic Relics and need my help, but I’m not by your side, that would be a complete disaster.”
Denise clasped Noland Lee’s hand tightly in her palms:
“I must go with you into the Magic Relics. I’ve learned all of the Fourth Ring’s New Spells, and I definitely won’t hold you back.”
“Aren’t you afraid of dying accidentally? Denise,” Noland Lee asked.
“I might be quite capable, but there’ll be times when I might be too busy to help. You could die in the Magic Relics. Aren’t you scared?”
Denise pursed her lips tightly, stared at Noland Lee for a few seconds, and then pounced on him, kissing him fiercely.
She hugged his shoulders tenderly and said,
“You are the best contractor in the world. It’s all your fault for showing me the good side of contractors. I’ll never be satisfied with other warlocks again.
“I am afraid of dying, but I’m more afraid of living without you.
“Since I don’t hold other warlocks in high esteem, I certainly wouldn’t enter into contracts with them.
“Without you, I would watch myself die slowly, regretting that I didn’t spend the remaining days with you in the relics.
“Please, let me go with you, Noland.”
“Alright, alright, I didn’t say you couldn’t go,” Noland Lee soothed, stroking her back.
“I was planning to take you with me from the start. I can’t be sure about leaving you in the Pomida Family’s territory.”
Denise still embraced Noland Lee’s shoulders, her breath as sweet as orchids.
Noland Lee would have been happy to continue having her hold him, but the rhythm from his soul didn’t allow him to do so any longer.
“Selena is coming back, Denise,” Noland Lee whispered softly.
“Go to your study room, talk to your Professor. Her greatest desire is Rebirth Magic Power and I can give it to her, but she has to help us first.”
“Mm-hmm…”
Denise released her arms, rubbed her warm cheeks, and lightly punched Noland Lee on the chest with a clenched fist:
