Chapter 963: 299. Dragon Clan Warning?_3
He responded to Lonco with a shifty attitude, intending to sound greedy for gold coins, and worked to portray himself in the other’s mind as a sly merchant who still had some Magic Scrolls but wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price.
After some cat-and-mouse haggling, Noland Lee successfully raised the selling price of each Magic Scroll from the initial 150 million gold coins to 300 million.
Lonco bought four Magic Scrolls in one go.
He kept one for himself.
The remaining three he would hand over to the Pure Light Court for them to provide samples for research into This Magic Spell.
In addition, the Pure Light Court also had to ensure victory for Lonco in the next seven wizard duels.
...
Out of the 1.2 billion gold coins for the Magic Scrolls, only the one for Lonco was paid for by himself, while the remaining three were funded by the Pure Light Court.
These details were written into the Magic Contract signed between Lonco and the Pure Light Court.
Noland Lee was well aware of this.
After pondering for a moment, he did not immediately send the Magic Scrolls to Lonco.
Using the excuse of “needing to prepare enchantment materials,” he postponed the delivery of the Magic Scrolls until before tomorrow’s duel began.
Only in this way could he make Lonco and the Pure Light Court believe that Noland Lee had to forcibly cast spells, resorting to Wild Magic on the spot.
As expected, Lonco guessed this was the case.
He sent Noland Lee a letter, feigning concern for Noland’s health, urging him not to aggravate the Psychic Trauma caused by Magic backlash.
Noland Lee, looking at the Letter Paper, smiled without uttering a word.
Thus far, he had successfully gained the upper hand in the first round of battle with the Pomida Family and the Pure Light Court.
However, Noland quickly reined in his smile and fell into contemplation.
When considering issues, he preferred to start from a pessimistic perspective.
In extreme circumstances, should the Pure Light Court become desperate, they would definitely lash out and find an excuse to forcefully invade Island 33.
By then, with the island’s Magical Facilities, it was estimated that they could keep the Light Wizards at bay.
But with a Sub-Dimensional Plane, everything would change.
All Noland needed to do was close the entrances to the Sub-Dimensional Plane to block the Light Wizards outside.
Unless they were willing to invest a substantial amount of Mana to forcibly break through the Boundary of the Sub-Dimensional Plane, they would have no way to enter it.
After all, it’s only with a chunk of Sub-Dimensional Plane that one can truly feel at ease, Noland mused lightly shaking his head. noveldrama
Approaching evening, he called for Nolin and Nicolette to return to Ground Level.
The three of them enjoyed the Setting sun for a moment in the Living Room with floor-to-ceiling windows and welcomed the sumptuous Dinner prepared by Denise Green.
After a meal that left them full and satisfied, Nolin joined Nicolette to play, Denise retreated to meditate, and Noland conducted energy-shaping experiments Underground.
The Pitcher, modified by Nolin, performed much better than last time.
The energy-shaping scheme linked to it reduced its failure rate from a disastrous 75% to 35%.
The Magic product from a successful energy-shaping was still the thunder and lightning spell known as ‘fixed point thunderstorm technique’.
Noland depleted some Energy Points, attempting the shaping numerous times and successfully casting the ‘fixed point thunderstorm technique’ on multiple occasions.
The effects of This Magic Spell shook Noland to the core.
The key to ‘fixed point thunderstorm technique’ lies in the words “fixed point” and “thunderstorm.”
“Fixed point” means that Noland could summon a “thunderstorm” at any point within his casting range.
And “thunderstorm” is short for “spherical lightning,” resembling intensely expanding lightning spheres.
It is a form of Wild Magic with both “Breaking Law” and “lethal” effects.
The thunderstorm instantly clears all other energies in the blast area, achieving a “neutralizing” effect.
Any Spells cast at that location are disrupted by the raging Thunder and Lightning Energy.
Noland conducted a test.
He targeted a flying fireball, shot the ‘fixed point thunderstorm technique’, and the fireball was instantly crushed by the Thunder and Lightning Energy, turning from a blazing orb into a spherical lightning mixed with faint flames.
After neutralizing the fireball, spherical lightning exploded outward, creating a thunderous explosion.
First came “neutralization,” then the “thunderstorm.” When combined, they formed the ‘fixed point thunderstorm technique’.
Theoretically, only Spells that relied on Thunder and Lightning Energy might survive an attack from the ‘fixed point thunderstorm technique’.
“The ‘fixed point thunderstorm technique’ is indeed strong, but it’s a bit lacking as a defensive method. I prefer passive protection like the ‘Magic Shield’ over active ones like the ‘fixed point thunderstorm technique’,” Noland said with a smile, looking at the scorched Floor:
“However, having such a powerful active defensive measure is always better than being empty-handed. After all, my combat strength has significantly increased because of this spell,” he continued.
“Sir?”
Nolin poked half her head through the Ceiling opening:
She looked around and saw the aftermath of lightning devastation:
“Are you testing Magic, Sir? I thought something had happened to you…”
“Oh, sorry, Nolin, for making you worry.” Noland beckoned her over:
“You’ve come at the right time. Help me clean up the scene, then we can work on the improvement of the Pitcher’s scheme.”
“Of course, Sir.” Nolin activated the Flight Spell on her Magic Ring and descended to the floor like a black Satin Ribbon.
By this time, Nicolette had already returned to her Bedroom to rest.
Nolin was accustomed to working in the quiet of the night.
She harbored no resistance to pulling an all-nighter with Noland.
In fact, she admired Noland’s dedication to his goals, often working tirelessly to achieve them.
The two of them worked until past Midnight, pinpointing a new improvement scheme.
As Noland needed to perform Deconstruction in the Subsea Region during the day, he left first to rest in the Bedroom.
As usual, he would inspect the House with “Mind View” before sleep.
When he looked towards Nicolette’s Bedroom Balcony, a figure caught his Magic Vision.
Noland’s eyebrows lifted as he heard the Assassin Angel’s androgynous and emotionless voice:
“Let’s talk.”
Let’s talk…
What did the Assassin Angel want to discuss?
Noland mumbled in his mind.
