Chapter 919: 287. Soul Awakening
Noland Lee had arranged the necessary preparations before leaving Island No. 33.
Obtaining the non-metallic ore distribution map and accumulating Energy Points could be done simultaneously.
Noland Lee planned to spend a month passively deconstructing the sea area, collecting Energy Points, and obtaining the non-metallic mineral distribution map of the Archipelago.
His targets for Passive Deconstruction included the Treasure Sea, the Great Sea, the Starfall Sea, and the Blackfold Sea.
These four vast and dangerous deep-sea regions were located to the north, east, south, and west of the Suman Archipelago, respectively.
With his prior experience in passively deconstructing four sub-sea areas at once, the subsequent deconstruction work would only become smoother.
...
In an ideal situation, after a month, Noland Lee would not only have an explosive amount of Energy Points in his reserves, but he would also possess the non-metallic ore distribution maps for several hundred isles.
The second task that must be arranged before leaving was none other than the security of Island No. 33.
Noland Lee assigned tasks to Selena and Nolin, respectively.
Until she was relieved of her duties as Deputy Principal, Selena was still an employee of her father.
Her father asked her to keep her distance from Noland Lee.
No problem.
Noland Lee simply told Selena not to come to Island No. 33 for the next half year.
But just because she wouldn’t be there didn’t mean she couldn’t look after the place.
Noland Lee had already arranged a complete set of all-encompassing, no-blind-spot “surveillance positions” on Island No. 33.
The “surveillance positions” consisted of 100-level “Tracking Marks.”
Noland Lee activated “Mind Infusion” and shared these “Tracking Marks,” intended for surveillance, with both Nolin and Selena.
Simultaneously, he used his Enchantment Learning to create several Magic Rings, which he handed over to Selena for use. noveldrama
These Magic Rings were enchanted with “Mind View,” “Mental Shield,” “Mind Induction,” “Mind Capture,” and “Perception Enhancement.”
All of these magical runes, personally enchanted by Noland Lee, were Level 55.
This was the highest level of magical runes he could enchant when his level in Enchantment Learning was Level 55.
With these Magic Rings, Selena, who was in the Academy Castle, could remotely guard Island No. 33.
Noland Lee was also not worried about her misusing these Mental Magic spells.
For one thing, the soul contract constrained her behavior.
Secondly, Selena herself had several “Tracking Marks” placed on her by Noland Lee.
Not only her, but Nolin, the Snow-winged Cat, and the soul of Nicolette in the Soul Stone had all been marked with “Tracking Marks” by him.
Apart from Nicolette who passively received the “Tracking Marks,” Nolin, Selena, and the Snow-winged Cat had all willingly accepted them, and Noland Lee did not force them.
The task Noland Lee assigned to Nolin was related to “Planting Bombs” and “Creating Mechanos.”
The “guardians” of Island No. 33 were not the usual magic servants and puppets used by wizards.
It was the Mechanos that were the island’s faithful protectors.
Fixed Mechanism Spirits that could not move; Patrolling Mechanism Spirits that could move back and forth; Invisible Mechanism Spirits in an Invisibility Status; Floating Mechanism Spirits that soared through the sky; and Hidden Mechanism Spirits concealed within the walls and floors…
And so on and so forth.
Whichever places needed guarding, Noland Lee had designed corresponding Mechanos for them.
The combat capabilities of these Mechanos were only equivalent to wizards between the first and third levels.
However, they excelled in being numerous, not fearing attrition, and having an extremely high threat potential for self-destruction.
Each Mechanism Spirit had a Capacitor Pack, which could store 100,000 Points of Lightning Energy.
If it turned out that an enemy was too difficult to eliminate or stop, Nolin would control the Mechanos to initiate a self-destructive attack.
The only regret was that controlling these Mechanos relied on Mental Magic.
If the invaders possessed Breaking Law abilities, or used items with “Soul Stagnation” effects, then both the Mechanos and Nolin would be rendered paralyzed.
For this reason, Noland Lee assigned Nolin a long-term task:
To find a way to control the Mechanos using computational power rather than Mental Magic.
Once this task was completed, Mechanos controlled by the computational power of an alchemy array would no longer be paralyzed due to Noland Lee or Nolin losing their ability to cast Mental Magic Spells.
After Noland Lee finished arranging all matters, Selena stood up to leave Island No. 33.
Before she left, she threw Noland Lee a somewhat dissatisfied look and intentionally emphasized her words, saying,
“This time I was too dizzy to cast a spell to check for injuries. Don’t think about pretending to be sick in front of me next time.”
“Yes, yes, I was wrong,” Noland Lee repeatedly nodded:
“I promise there won’t be a next time.”
“Hmph, I won’t hold this against you considering you had a point this time,” Selena dropped the line and left through the main door of the study room without exiting through the window again.
As Noland Lee saw her off, he watched her leave the island.
Bending down to pick up the Snow-winged Cat, Noland Lee stroked the cat while seeking Denise Green.
Midway up the staircase, he accessed the Deconstruction Results for Selena to review.
The Memory Fragments of Selena now included the content of her argument with Lonco.
About an hour ago, she hastily used the Flight Spell and “Water Walking Technique” to rush to the Starfall Sea.
She originally planned to go to Subsea No.13 to find Lonco’s whereabouts.
But while she was passing through Subsea Area No.18 from north to south, she spotted Lonco on the Sea Surface, dragging dark clouds with him.
A few Magic Lock Chains extended from his left forearm, binding a dark cloud about one meter in diameter.
The thunder and lightning inside this miniaturized dark cloud occasionally revealed Electric Snakes, clearly summoned by Noland Lee.
Looking again at Lonco holding the dark cloud, he was conversing with a mysterious person in an Invisibility Status.
