Chapter 981: 305. Local Snake Snake
“Mr. Jarvis, sorry to have kept you waiting. I will take you to meet the Bluegold Elder now.”
The Wealth Wizard who had initially guided Noland Lee left him in the VIP resting room and then found a reason to leave.
Now, a female attendant from Goldrush Castle came to lead Noland Lee to meet with the Bluegold Elder.
Noland Lee followed her out of the VIP resting room and through a courtyard guarded by wizards. In a guest room deep within the courtyard, he met the man himself.
The so-called Bluegold Elder was a middle-aged man with gray hair, an aged appearance, and a slightly hunched figure.
He was dressed in a black undercoat and gold-patterned magic robe, with single-lens glasses over his right eye. His eyes were slightly yellowed and somewhat murky.
...
If it weren’t for the Wealth Wizards introducing the Bluegold Elder to Noland Lee as being only 42 years old, he would have almost thought the man was over 60.
Such a discrepancy between actual age and appearance was rare among wizards.
Because wizards could use the power of magic to transform their bodies and faces to remain forever young. noveldrama
If someone’s “agedness” could not be remedied by magic, it generally meant that it was deliberate, or that this external manifestation couldn’t be concealed by magic.
Which was the case for the Bluegold Elder?
The moment Noland Lee laid eyes on the elder, he cast Deconstruction.

…
Gregory Tote is a Senior Intelligence Officer of the Pure Light Court, answering to the Court’s Elder Skimming Light.
Noland Lee opened Memory Fragment One and saw that “Elder Skimming Light” was a Light Wizard within the Pure Light Court, specifically in charge of Intelligence Affairs.
So, the answer was clear. Noland Lee’s previous speculation was not wrong; the trouble that Wealth Wizards had caused him was indeed the handiwork of the Pure Light Court.
With the Deconstruction Results at hand, Noland Lee had already accomplished half his objective.
The other half, infiltrating the Pure Light Court through the Bluegold Elder before him, was extremely difficult.
Noland Lee wanted to infiltrate the Pure Light Court in Riverse, to grasp the movements of Elder Skimming Light.
If he could achieve this goal, then in the future when the Pure Light Court moves against him, Noland Lee could be forewarned and prepare in advance.
But how to realize this infiltration…
“Mr. Jarvis, please accept my apology.” Bluegold Elder Gregory Tote rose from his chair, walked around the desk, and came before Noland Lee with a slight bow:
“Due to a busy mistake, I incorrectly entered your information in the order book for searching Wizard Criminals. I am very sorry for this situation, my intention upon your arrival at Eternal Lightning Ravine was to invite you to visit Goldrush Castle at the earliest time. Now, please take a seat.”
The Bluegold Elder gestured for Noland Lee to sit, casually using [Mage’s Hand] to place a cup of hot tea in front of him.
After which, he himself took a seat.
His entire set of actions was smooth and sincere, rehearsed many times as if not to give Noland Lee an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Moreover, after Noland Lee sat down, the Bluegold Elder clapped his hands lightly, calling for the female attendant outside.
The attendant stepped in with a tray, placing a set of magic gems and gold coins enclosed in a lavish metal box beside Noland Lee’s tea cup.
The attendant left quietly.
Gregory Tote said with a smile:
“Mr. Jarvis, please accept my gift and once again forgive my work mistake.”
Noland Lee glanced at the ‘Hatred Value’ section.
Since the Pure Light Court and Deep Sea Branch obtained the ‘Thundercloud Magic Scroll,’ the numbers in the ‘Hatred Value’ had been steadily rising.
