Chapter 942: 294. Winning on three fronts_2
Everything had been predicted by the writer of the letter.
Thus, according to the secret letter’s conjecture, the two people before him would surely inquire about matters related to Noland Lee Jarvis next.
Hadley Grant nervously scratched his beard, trying hard to maintain his composure internally.
“Gentlemen, what exactly do you want to do? I haven’t offended you. I’m just a treasure hunter who occasionally ventures out to sea…”
“Shut up! You answer what we ask you,” the Human Wizard said fiercely, pressing the tip of his magic wand against Hadley Grant’s chin:
“From now on, if you dare utter one more word of nonsense, I’ll pierce a hole in you with this wand!”
...
Hadley Grant’s face showed fear, and he shrank back his neck.
The Human Wizard glared at him, retracted the magic wand, and turned sideways to look at the Rock bone Magician behind him.
He bent slightly at the waist, drawing his right arm in front of him, and gestured an inviting hand motion to the Rock bone Magician.
He stepped back a few paces, passing the right to question to the Rock bone Magician.
The status difference between the two was obvious at a glance.
The Rock bone Magician shot a detached gaze from behind the Metal mask toward Hadley Grant and asked:
“Do you remember Noland Lee Jarvis?”
The Rock bone Magician’s voice was very hoarse. noveldrama
Hadley Grant was slightly startled when he heard these words; another prediction from the secret letter had come true!
Now, all he needed to do was find a way to lead the two to the Subsea Region specified in the letter, and he could be rescued smoothly!
“Speak up!” The Human Wizard jabbed at Hadley Grant.
Hadley woke from the pain, came to his senses, and nodded hastily:
“Yes, Sir. I remember Noland Lee Jarvis. What would you like to ask? Please, just ask.”
The Rock bone Magician asked several questions related to the interactions between Hadley Grant and Noland Lee.
The secret letter Hadley received had anticipated the current scenario and provided him with a prepared line of thought for answering the questions.
Hadley followed this train of thought, concealing a series of events, such as “Noland Lee’s defeat of the deep sea Magic Beasts.”
The Rock bone Magician shifted the topic, beginning to narrate about the Deep Sea Branch mining non-metallic ore on Noland Lee’s four Islands.
This, however, touched upon Hadley Grant’s blind spot…
He was merely a Deep-sea Wizard capable of sailing and swimming; how would he know the ins and outs of prospecting and mining non-metallic ore?
A look of thick confusion painted Hadley Grant’s face.
“Your Excellency, you might be asking the wrong person. I don’t know why the Deep Sea Branch is mining Jarvis’s islands…”
Hadley looked somewhat dumbfounded:
“As for the Nonmetal Mineral Distribution Map you mentioned, honestly, I have no idea where Jarvis obtained it from…”
Hadley scratched his head, asking in confusion:
“Why don’t you two directly ask Jarvis? I have his Messenger Plane postal code, if you need it, I can give it to you right now.”
“Who told you to babble…” The Human Wizard was about to scold the overly talkative Hadley but was cut off by a gesture from the Rock bone Magician.
“Wait, what did you just say? You have Noland Lee Jarvis’s Messenger Plane postal code?” the Rock bone Magician asked.
“Yes, Your Excellency,” Hadley nodded earnestly.
After a moment of contemplation, the Rock bone Magician said:
“Then you write a letter to Noland Lee Jarvis, and try to fish out his exact location. If you can cooperate with us to find him, then we won’t make things difficult for you—provided that you willingly drink this Oblivion Potion and forget everything that happened today.”
Hadley grimly said:
“Alright, Your Excellency. I can only trust you.”
“Give him his Magic Pouch,” the Rock bone Magician commanded, motioning the Human Wizard to return the pouch while speaking sternly:
“Don’t think about playing tricks, Hadley. Our patience is based on your cooperation.”
“Yes, yes, Your Excellency,” Hadley replied deferentially, bowing slightly.
He took the Magic Pouch, carefully extracting Letter Paper, Magic Pen, and the Postal Code Book.
After much pondering, Hadley finally completed the letter.
The Rock bone Magician reviewed the letter, ensuring there was nothing odd in the content before allowing Hadley to send it off.
Now it was a waiting game.
After about five minutes, Hadley’s Magic Conch appeared in the Ship Cabin.
It wrapped the Reply in Bubbles and placed it on the Tabletop before swiftly retreating into the Messenger Plane.
The Human Wizard checked the Envelope, opened the Letter Paper, and handed it to the Rock bone Magician.
The two leaned in together and read the content of the letter, and a sinister laugh resounded in the cabin.
“Heh heh heh…” The Human Wizard sneered at the Rock bone Magician:
“Sir, we’ve pinpointed Noland Lee Jarvis’s general location. No wonder we couldn’t find his whereabouts; he’s been at sea hunting Deep Sea Beasts.”
The reply from Noland merely mentioned his hunting of Deep Sea Beasts in the Blackfold Sea, without specifying exactly where.
The Blackfold Sea was vast, and just knowing he was there was of no use at all.
But nothing is absolute.
The Blackfold Sea bordered Alchemist Island, the west and south sides of Kashel Continent, and the Suman Archipelago.
According to the customary hunting rules of the three places, boats that set out from the Suman Archipelago would at most patrol the southeast part of the Blackfold Sea.
If one were willing to spend time inquiring, it was still possible to discover Noland’s whereabouts.
The two individuals in front of Hadley seemingly lacked the time.
They pressed Hadley to write another letter, one that would definitely reveal Noland Lee Jarvis’s exact location.
This approach might alert Noland Lee Jarvis, everything depending on how Hadley wrote the letter.
