Chapter 965: 300. Fate Shackles_2
Noland Lee felt his head throbbing.
“Is it that every major building on the mystical side takes pleasure in probing like this, prying minutely, never departing from little secrets?”
Noland Lee steadied his spirit and said with a “shameless” face:
“Transforming technological products into Energy Molding Magic is my innate Extraordinary Ability.”
The Assassin Angel fell silent again, pondering who knows what.
Without a clock nearby, Noland Lee could only use his bodily sense to gauge the passage of time.
...
About three minutes later, the Assassin Angel spoke.
“I can guide you to acquire a piece of a Sub-Dimensional Plane. The price is that you must agree to do three things for me.”
A shock ran through Noland Lee’s heart, followed by a surge of joy, but he immediately suppressed his excitement.
“Your Excellency, I need to clarify something. When you say ‘guide me to acquire a piece of a Sub-Dimensional Plane,’ do you mean that if I follow the path you set out, I can one hundred percent obtain a Sub-Dimensional Plane which can sustain life and be improved upon?”
Noland Lee added many qualifiers to “Sub-Dimensional Plane,” fearing that the other party might play word games.
The Assassin Angel’s response was concise:
“Yes.”
Noland Lee took a deep breath and asked:
“By acquiring this Sub-Dimensional Plane, will I become a Wizard Criminal?”
Nicolette was recently learning the common knowledge that must be mastered before becoming a wizard, which included the laws of the Ulnas Circle. noveldrama
Since the Assassin Angel could peek into the exchange between Nicolette and Noland Lee, it likely understood what the term “Wizard Criminal” meant.
With this consideration in mind, Noland Lee did not elaborate on the term “Wizard Criminal.”
The Assassin Angel indeed knew the meaning of the term.
It inquired:
“Do you care much for order?”
Noland Lee replied:
“If there is no need to break the order, I am willing to abide by it temporarily.”
The Assassin Angel remained silent for a while before saying:
“You will not become a Wizard Criminal, but if you are willing to break the order, you will acquire the Sub-Dimensional Plane much faster.”
This reply quickened Noland Lee’s heartbeat.
As long as he could circumvent the Large Wizard Forces and legally obtain the Sub-Dimensional Plane, it meant that he could preserve his current achievements and not worry about being targeted by the law.
Noland Lee asked in a grave tone:
“What do you want me to do?”
The Assassin Angel said:
“I am looking for a dragon…”
Noland Lee’s eyes widened, interrupting:
“The Metal Ancestor Dragon, Tarsali?”
“You know of it?”
Noland Lee took a breath, realizing that he had magically guessed the Assassin Angel’s intentions correctly on a whim.
“This matter has to start with Nolin…”
Seeing the Assassin Angel’s amiable attitude towards him, Noland Lee took the initiative to recount his encounter with the Metal Ancestor Dragon.
During this period, Noland Lee also tried to indirectly fish for information about the Assassin Angel and the Metal Ancestor Dragon with some minor questions.
But the Assassin Angel remained deeply secretive, showing no response to Noland Lee’s questions, simply uttering the words “continue” to signal him not to stop.
Seeing that the other party was impervious, Noland Lee abandoned the thought of taking the opportunity to probe for information.
“… The Metal Ancestor Dragon should be hiding inside Berkeley’s Magic ship. The boat is currently docked at Baldur’s Gate, under the control of the Pure Light Court.
“If you wish to find it, maybe you should visit Baldur’s Gate. The place is on the West Coast of the Kashel Continent, known to all, you won’t miss it.”
Noland Lee paused, then asked:
“The tasks you want me to undertake, surely they aren’t just to inquire about the whereabouts of the Metal Ancestor Dragon, are they?”
The Assassin Angel replied:
“Yes, but I must see Tarsali with my own eyes before considering the task complete.”
Noland Lee thought it over and did not argue.
Indeed, the cunning Metal Ancestor Dragon could transfer itself among metal things.
Perhaps by now, it had already left the Magic ship.
The Assassin Angel’s requirement to see Tarsali in person was not unreasonable.
“If I have the chance, I will take Nicolette to Baldur’s Gate,” Noland Lee said:
“By then, you will be able to see the boat with your own eyes. As to whether the Metal Ancestor Dragon is still on that boat, we can discuss that later.”
The Assassin Angel stated:
“That is acceptable. The second task is for you to enter what you refer to as the Spinning Continent.”
Noland Lee’s breath hitched:
“Are you certain?”
“Yes.”
Noland Lee inquired:
“How do you refer to the Spinning Continent?”
The Assassin Angel did not answer, continuing on its own:
“The third task, assist me in preventing Tarsali from entering the Spinning Continent.”
This was getting more ludicrous by the moment… Noland Lee furrowed his brow.
He shook his head:
“Sorry, Your Excellency. I really would like to own a piece of a Sub-Dimensional Plane, but of the three tasks you mentioned, I can only manage the first, not the latter two.”
“No, you can,” said the Assassin Angel:
“Once you have the Sub-Dimensional Plane, you will be able to accomplish the second and third tasks.”
Noland Lee felt surprised:
“Is the Sub-Dimensional Plane you guide me to very special?”
“Very special,” the Assassin Angel affirmed:
“It matches you. It is waiting for you.”
“What do you mean?” Noland Lee was puzzled.
The Assassin Angel spoke like a riddler:
“You are the Contractor for the Resurrection Witch.”
Noland Lee was even more confused:
“What does that have to do with the Resurrection Witch? Are you saying that every Contractor to a Resurrection Witch will have their own Sub-Dimensional Plane? That isn’t right… Whether a Contractor survives is a question in itself. If they die prematurely, then what talk is there of acquiring a Sub-Dimensional Plane?”
The Assassin Angel said:
