Chapter 972: 302. The Way to Break the Game_3
To prevent this situation from occurring, Noland Lee and Professor Erica discussed and unanimously decided to act discreetly.
The entire plan was drafted by Noland Lee.
In simple terms, the plan was divided into three steps.
The first step was for Professor Erica to anonymously purchase three magical companies in the Suman Archipelago. These three companies were responsible respectively for transportation, exploration, and mining of ores.
For the second step, Professor Erica and Paul Stone from Larolon Rockbone secretly signed a magic contract to transfer the magic shares of the magical companies. Using non-metallic ores and gold coins, Paul Stone acquired 49% of the magic shares of the three companies.
During this process, both the name of Paul Stone and that of “Larolon Rockbone” would not appear on the magic contract, nor in the registry of magical companies at the Island Affairs Department.
...
Both Erica and Paul Stone would sign the magic contract anonymously, using a third party’s name.
As for who this third party was.
Heh.
Erica brought her sister Jenny’s aunt to the forefront, a Five Rings Strength wizard of the Natural System with no direct connections to the “Silent Maiden” on the surface.
The anonymous method of “Larolon Rockbone”‘s party was even more straightforward.
They found a Wandering Wizard who was not even recognized by the Pangula Family to represent them and sign the magic contract with Erica’s representative.
After signing the magic contract, the third step of the plan followed:
Buy islands in the name of the magic companies, then mine non-metallic ores in secret through “Larolon Rockbone.”
There were only two easily exposed aspects in this whole process.
One was that the rock bone wizards were too conspicuous in appearance.
Just by visiting the mining site, one could spot them.
The other was that the exploration and mining cycle was too short.
With the Nonmetal Mineral Distribution Map provided by Noland Lee, every three to ten days, the rock bone wizards could deplete an isle of its non-metallic ores.
Before the mining began, the exploration work took virtually no time at all.
The rock bone wizards would start mining non-metallic ores almost as soon as they arrived on the island.
If someone with intent noticed this extremely abnormal phenomenon, it could not guarantee the avoidance of suspicion.
After all, with the proliferation of non-metallic magic ships, the wizard forces that consciously monitor the movement of non-metallic ores are not limited to just the Deep Sea Branch.
Other wizard forces also wanted to profit from this.
Erica and “Larolon Rockbone” decided to keep a low profile, a lower profile, and an even lower profile.
It wasn’t that they were afraid of those wizard forces, but simply that they wanted to avoid trouble during the mining process and quietly make a large fortune.
After the wizard duel was over, the Pure Light Court was calm, and no news related to wild magic came out.
The Deep Sea Branch defeated the Pangula Family, and Mingwaq Pomida seemed to benefit greatly from elsewhere and didn’t trouble Noland Lee further.
However, he still kept sending Lonco to purchase magic scrolls from Noland Lee under various pretenses.
Noland Lee knew what they were thinking.
He sold the magic scrolls at a high price and earned a large number of gold coins.
Noland was also always paying attention to the progress Hotams and the Pure Light Court made in researching thunderclouds.
Whenever he had the chance, he would use Selena’s “Mind View” and Deconstruction technique to deconstruct Lonco.
From the results of several deconstructions:
The progress Hotams and the Pure Light Court made in researching thunderclouds was slower than expected.
Lonco, representing Hotams, bought 7 magic scrolls from Noland Lee.
These 7 scrolls corresponded to 7 thunderclouds.
After three serious experimental accidents, Hotams had only 4 thunderclouds left.
One of them was a Level 55 spell with a delay response time of 4.5 seconds—this was the one sealed by Benjamin Gathered Thunder.
The other three were Level 20 spells with a delay response time of 8 seconds.
The length of the delay response time became a focus of Hotams’ research…
The wizards from the Energy Shaping Branch were eager to understand why some thunderclouds had longer delay times and others shorter despite being identical. noveldrama
Well… Noland Lee thought Hotams was on the wrong track.
The level of a thundercloud’s spell could not be discerned from physical parameters such as appearance and energy concentration.
The number indicating the spell’s level could only be found in the thundercloud’s panel information.
It could be said that if Noland himself could not see the panel information, he could not accurately determine the spell level of a thundercloud.
Let alone the shaping wizards of Hotams who didn’t have such “cheat codes.”
The Pure Light Court, on the other hand, were much bolder than Hotams.
Jay Spade, representing the Pure Light Court, entrusted Lonco to purchase a total of 9 magic scrolls.
The Light Wizards’ research style was aggressive, and the frequency of experimental accidents was extremely high.
Out of 9 thunderclouds, the Pure Light Court had ruined most, leaving only 3 intact.
The magic contract signed between Lonco and Jay Spade included a clause for both parties to share research findings.
It was precisely because of this that Noland Lee was fortunate enough to gain the research findings of the Pure Light Court through Lonco’s memory fragments.
The Pure Light Court was attempting a cunning move.
They wanted to use the “thundercloud” as a template to develop a corresponding Pure Light wild spell.
Just as the thundercloud used thunder and lightning energy, the Pure Light wild spell would use Pure Light energy.
If the thundercloud took the form of a cloud, the Pure Light wild spell would also be a cloud—only it would be a pale golden auspicious cloud, brimming with a sanctified aura.
While the thundercloud emitted lightning, the Pure Light wild spell would release the “Punishment Light Sword”—this was a Pure Light technique that could rain down huge energy swords of Pure Light from the sky.
