Chapter 959: 298. Forbidden Technique_2
If Noland Lee’s deduction proves to be valid, then the abilities of Assassin Angel Gallobelia are indeed formidable.
He not only restored Nicolette’s body to the state before the Golden Dynasty’s offerings but also retained her memory, instincts, habits, and the like.
This operation could indeed be described as miraculous craftsmanship.
As expected of a Big Shot on the mystical side… Noland Lee silently reflected.
After lunch and before dinner.
Noland Lee and Nolin were testing the improved Pitcher on Underground Floor 2.
...
Nicolette was playing with the Mechanos on the side, occasionally coming over to watch.
Denise Green was meditating in the bedroom, conveniently preparing dinner as well.
Just as the setting sun was about to plunge beneath the sea surface, Noland Lee felt a touch at the level of the soul once again.
He activated “Soul Perception” and asked,
“Selena, how are things going?”
“Eh, Jarvis, matters have heated up.” In Selena’s tone, there was a hint of melancholy:
“The results of the three duels today are out. The Deep Sea Branch won them all. Lonco took down two, while Jespat clinched one. Lonco’s first duel and Jespat’s match made the Pangula Family admit defeat willingly, as they had sent an Eighth Circle Combat Wizard, not a Nine Rings.
“However, Lonco’s second duel caused quite a controversy within the Pangula Family. They did not realize the details of the Thundercloud, it was only a protest to the Referee.”
Noland Lee sent Nicolette to Nolin, asking the Female Assistant to play with her, while he himself sat down in a Chair, discussing one-on-one with Selena.
Selena continued,
“The matter didn’t end there. After Lonco dispatched Dietrich, Jay Spade found him.
“Jay Spade is even more shameless.
“He said he might struggle against the Pangula Family’s Nine Rings Battle Mage, and he hoped Lonco could lend him a Magic Scroll to use.
“Moreover, he specifically asked for a Magic Scroll that could summon Dark Clouds. If Lonco wouldn’t lend it to him, he couldn’t guarantee his victory in the upcoming matches.”
Noland Lee marveled at the shamelessness of the Light Wizards.
Indeed, when matters involve the secretive world of magic, not a single wizard can resist the temptation.
In the face of Wild Magic, showing one’s true nature and claws is inevitable.
Who wouldn’t want a magic that merely requires the injection of energy to increase its potency?
“For the sake of the Deep Sea Branch’s victory, Lonco has to withstand all this pressure. He’s truly asking for hardship, Selena,” Noland Lee said.
“Yeah, exactly. In the end, he could only give a Magic Scroll to Jay Spade.” Selena asked worriedly,
“What do we do if the Pure Light Court sets their eyes on the ‘Thundercloud Technique’ as well?”
Noland Lee’s mind was abuzz with thoughts of trading the ‘Thundercloud Magic Scroll’ for Sub-Dimensional Plane information or even directly acquiring a Sub-Dimensional Plane.
But soon, he dismissed these thoughts.
As a Wild Magic, “Thundercloud Technique” is rare and powerful but not to the extent that a Large Wizard Force would exchange a Sub-Dimensional Plane for its Magic Scroll.
If a swap were to happen, it’d have to be something like Spell Blueprints that could match the caliber of a Sub-Dimensional Plane.
Noland Lee would not trade away the Spell Blueprints of the “Thundercloud Technique.”
Therefore, without much thought, he knew it would be impossible to acquire a Sub-Dimensional Plane with just a Magic Scroll.
But could the Magic Scroll be used to lower the threshold for acquiring a Sub-Dimensional Plane…?
For instance, by offering an extra discount on the price of the Sub-Dimensional Plane or removing the requirement to become a Lecturer Professor.
Noland Lee pondered that there was a small chance this plan could be realized, which would require a lot of operations and patience, and perhaps a far heavier price than one could imagine.
Just as Noland Lee was about to caution Selena about a few things, she preemptively said:
“Jarvis! Lonco and I are in the Study Room, deducing the order of appearance for tomorrow, and Jespat suddenly came knocking.”
Noland Lee withheld the words at the tip of his tongue and instead said,
“Repeat to me what Jespat said.”
“Of course.” Selena responded.
…
…
Inside Selena’s Study Room.
Jespat placed the used Magic Scroll on Selena’s desk.
Selena and Lonco sat across from him, feeling a bit puzzled by his arrival.
Jespat didn’t beat around the bush.
Pointing to the blank surface of the Scroll, he spoke in a displeased tone,
“Both of you, I have sent the Magic Scroll to the Pure Light Court. After examination by the Pure Light Court, the Spell recorded on the Scroll has been deemed a Forbidden Technique.”
“Forbidden Technique…” Selena and Lonco both looked startled.
Jespat leaned on the edge of the Table and said solemnly,
“You heard me right. This is a Forbidden Technique in the eyes of the Pure Light Court, a prohibition against casting, enchanting, or mimicking. For your own safety, on behalf of the Pure Light Court, I oppose your continued use of this Magic Spell, otherwise…”
Lonco frowned and said nothing.
Selena raised her hand, stopping Jespat mid-sentence,
“Hold on a moment, Jespat. There’s no concept of ‘Forbidden Technique’ in the Ulnas Ring Law, is there? Only ‘Dark Magic’ which is considered illegal once used. Is the term ‘Forbidden Technique’ exclusive to the Pure Light Court? Our Magic Spell isn’t listed in the prohibited Dark Magic by the Law. Using it, we aren’t breaking any laws, are we?” noveldrama
“Yes, but your statement isn’t entirely accurate.”
Jespat stood upright and took a deep breath before continuing,
