Chapter 952: 296. Pure Light comes_3
And the Pure Light Falling Star Sea was a sealed-off region, only permitting the Pure Light Court’s fleet to enter, exit, and be stationed there.
In theory, since the Pure Light Court already had its own treasure hunting sea area, there should be no need for them to hunt for treasures in other seas, right?
Selena posed this critical question when Jay Spade paid a visit.
After their conversation, the answer surfaced.
The area of the Pure Light Falling Star Sea was roughly as vast as the Starfall Sea, but it was far more barren than the Starfall Sea.
Within the Pure Light Falling Star Sea, deep sea beasts and marine life were almost nonexistent; no seaweed, sea shells, seahorses, or fish could be seen.
...
If the Starfall Sea were a large fish tank full of floating plankton, then the Pure Light Falling Star Sea was akin to a stagnant cesspool made of dead water.
The sea water there was terrifyingly corrosive, and the complexity of the seabed caverns made the Pure Light Court’s head reel.
Light Wizards excelled at operating in terrestrial environments.
Faced with the murky ocean depths, the immense pressure of the sea water, and the serpentine, tangled seabed caverns, they were also left completely hamstrung. noveldrama
Similarly, on the matter of intercepting the Dragon Clan Treasure at sea, the performance of the Pure Light Court paled in comparison to the treasure-hunting teams from the Suman Archipelago.
Many, many Dragon Clan Treasures slipped through the Light Wizards’ aerial nets and dropped into the sea, sinking into the seabed caverns.
The Pure Light Court was a wizard force that thrived on Pure Light Magic, not deep sea magic.
Most of its personnel were immersed in law enforcement affairs, collecting Pure Light Magic by adjudicating criminals and purging evil creatures.
Such endeavors like treasure hunting at sea were non-mainstream within the Pure Light Court.
Any Light Wizard who wholeheartedly threw themselves into treasure hunting would certainly be laughed at by their peers.
However, everything changed imperceptibly.
“Jarvis,” Noland Lee revealed, “about two years ago, the treasure hunting fleet of the Pure Light Wizards captured a Dragon Clan Stone Tablet from within the Pure Light Falling Star Sea.
“This Dragon Clan Stone Tablet was over one hundred meters in length, at least five meters thick, weighed more than twenty thousand tons, and it was engraved with tens of thousands of Dragon Clan characters.
“The Pure Light Court spent two years deciphering the script on the Dragon Clan Stone Tablet.
“Jay Spade did not go into details with me about the results of the deciphering, he only mentioned:
“This is a Dragon Clan Stone Tablet that records over a hundred methods of entering and exiting sub-dimensional planes.
“Most of these sub-dimensional planes are magic relics, teeming with filth and evil creatures. A few sub-dimensional planes contain order and may harbor the extraordinary things that the Pure Light Court seeks.
“Only by first obtaining the Dragon Clan Treasures needed for entering and exiting these planes can the Pure Light Court proceed to search within these sub-dimensional planes for those extraordinary things.
“The Pure Light Court confirmed that all the Dragon Clan Treasures used to access these sub-dimensional planes had yet to fly out of the Spinning Continent. Jay Spade did not tell me the specific reasons.
“Before the Pure Light Court came into contact with the Deep Sea Branch, they had already agreed on a research plan with the Wizard Advancement Association. All magic relics found based on the Dragon Clan Stele Script would be allocated a research task by the Wizard Advancement Association.
“The outcomes of the research tasks would be shared by the Deep Sea Branch involved in the search for the Dragon Clan Treasure, the Pure Light Court providing the Dragon Clan Stele Script, and the Wizard Advancement Association organizing the research.
“I estimated that the Deep Sea Branch would likely cooperate with the Pure Light Court.
“This is the scenario my father wanted to see.
“Once the magic contract of cooperation is signed, the Deep Sea Branch will distribute the employment tasks to the treasure-hunting fleet of the Suman Archipelago to coordinate with the Pure Light Court.”
At this point in her letter, Selena drew an em dash and explained to Noland Lee:
“You wish to own a sub-dimensional plane, don’t you, Jarvis? We may be able to find those sub-dimensional planes that are relatively easy to occupy and can be repaired from the Dragon Clan Stele Script.
“We first find such a sub-dimensional plane and then figure out a way to secretly possess it. This is just my suggestion, and the specifics should be up to you.”
With that, Selena’s letter came to an end.
…Hmm,
Ever since siding with him, had Selena started to pick up bad habits?
She actually came up with the idea of secretly possessing sub-dimensional planes…
Ha…
It was embarrassing; he had led her astray…
Noland Lee chuckled to himself.
Suppressing his amusement, his eyes narrowed slightly, detecting that there was more to the situation than met the eye.
He wondered if it was just his impression that the Pure Light Court’s intentions seemed very strong.
They appeared to be particularly eager to find certain “extraordinary things” and hence spent a massive amount of time deciphering the Dragon Clan Stone Tablet.
Moreover, Jay Spade’s interaction with Selena was shrouded in secrecy and lacked clear explanations about the specific Dragon Clan Treasures they were looking for.
Noland Lee rubbed his chin, pondering deeply.
Regardless, trying to deconstruct the Dragon Clan Stone Tablet in the hands of the Pure Light Court was surely the right move.
But how could he see this artifact?
Noland Lee stepped into the Miniature Ocean with this question in mind, ready to passively deconstruct the sea area while searching for an answer.
Selena was right in her letter,
Finding magic relics that were easy to clean and could also be repaired by a plane device was ideal for Noland Lee.
But the risks were significant, very significant.
Easy-to-clear magic relics were regarded as vital resources by large wizard forces,
Large wizard forces would rather keep them for themselves than casually hand them over to individual wizards.
Noland Lee had no doubt that the magical contract clauses between the Pure Light Court and the Deep Sea Branch would certainly include terms for the allocation of magic relics.
