Chapter 960: 298. Forbidden Technique_3
“This Magic Spell is indeed not Dark Magic,” he said righteously, “but that doesn’t mean it can’t become Dark Magic.”
“What do you mean?” Selena furrowed her brows.
“Dark Magic is not born as Dark Magic. It is only because someone used these magics to do something excessive that they are defined as Dark Magic.” Jespat spoke with conviction:
“Memory Reader,’ ‘Memory Tampering,’ ‘Forced Desire,’ ‘Will of Dominion,’ and so on. These peculiar spells, with their low learning thresholds, are prone to misuse and abuse, thus becoming Dark Magic. Am I right, Miss?”
Jespat pointed at the blank Magic Scroll:
“Forbidden Techniques are a broader concept that includes both Dark Magic and spells that could potentially become Dark Magic. The spell you are using requires only an increase in energy investment to enhance its power. This is a dangerous phenomenon. It clearly has the potential to become Dark Magic and is regarded by us at the Pure Light Court as a Forbidden Technique.”
...
Jespat turned to Lonco and said:
“Unless your Deep Sea Branch finds a way to restrain its magical power, the Pure Light Court will propose to the Wizard Council that your spell be listed among Dark Magic.”
“How can you…” Selena almost exploded in anger, but luckily Lonco swiftly held her back.
“Hold on, Selena,” Lonco hurried to calm his sister down, saying: noveldrama
“I’ll take Jespat to see our father. This matter is beyond our abilities.”
Selena forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart, her pretty face tense, and nodded.
Lonco stood up, lifting his hand toward the Miniature Ocean:
“Please follow me, Jespat. We’ll talk somewhere else.”
Jespat seemed to anticipate that Lonco would want a private conversation with him.
He nodded to Selena and followed Lonco into the Miniature Ocean.
“Splash~~” The water rippled, leaving Selena alone in the study room.
“Whew~~~” Selena relaxed her shoulders like a deflated balloon.
She relayed the events that had happened here to Noland Lee.
After some thought, Noland Lee, using Soul Perception, said:
“Selena, I have a Task for you. If only Lonco comes back later, crush the Magic crystal I gave you and place the ‘Tracking Mark’ on yourself. I need to open ‘Mind View’ and observe Lonco using ‘Omniscient.’ During this time, you must stare at Lonco, so he attributes the mental reaction caused by ‘Mind View’ to your gaze.”
“Okay… Jarvis…” Selena picked up the blank scroll on the table, shaking her head to revive her spirits:
“Did Lonco take Jespat aside to discuss Wild Magic?”
“That is very likely,” Noland Lee said:
“There are very few wizards who know about Wild Magic. They have formed a tight-knit circle that includes Transcendent-level wizards as well as senior Saint Wizards like your father and elder brother. Jespat most likely knows the concept of ‘Wild Magic’ too. But because you were present, he has much he could not discuss with Lonco, so they had to avoid you.”
Selena rubbed the corner of her brows:
“You just said that wizards who know Wild Magic have formed a fixed small circle? Are you in this circle?”
Noland Lee gave a half laugh:
“I’m not in that circle, I found out through other means.”
Noland Lee then comforted Selena for a while until her mood improved, then cut off the Soul Perception.
In fact, he also felt somewhat vexed.
The attitude of the Pure Light Court was clear; they did not look kindly upon Wild Magic.
It might be because they wanted to monopolize what they had, or they simply wanted to make ‘Thundercloud Technique’ into a Local Magic.
Regardless, the plan to purchase a Sub-Dimensional Plane with the ‘Thundercloud Magic Scroll’ was likely unfeasible.
It truly was troubling~~
Noland Lee shook his head slightly, sighing internally.
This worried look didn’t escape Nicolette’s notice.
The little girl, holding the Spider Mechanism, came up to Noland Lee’s side, looked up at him, and asked:
“What’s wrong, Jarvis? You look unhappy.”
Noland Lee forced a smile and said:
“I am indeed a bit down. Nowadays, getting a hold of a Sub-Dimensional Plane is really worrisome.”
“Sub-Dimensional Plane…” Nicolette blinked her large eyes, confusion shining in her amber pupils:
“Denise Green mentioned this before. What exactly is a Sub-Dimensional Plane? It sounds really impressive.”
Nolin pushed her glasses up, looking curious, clearly also unfamiliar with Sub-Dimensional Planes.
Realizing he hadn’t yet explained this to the two of them, Noland Lee invited them to sit and began to share the information about Sub-Dimensional Planes, drawing on his mental archives.
Nolin and Nicolette, familiar with the concepts of “gold coins” and “Wizard Ring Level,” understood that buying an undeveloped small Sub-Dimensional Plane required spending hundreds of millions of gold coins, and they would also need to spend an equal sum to purchase a Plane Device.
Such an expenditure was astronomical, leaving Nolin and Nicolette in shock.
No wonder Noland Lee was worried.
Just as they were beginning to think that it was the gold coins that troubled Noland Lee, he started talking about the strict conditions for acquiring a Sub-Dimensional Plane.
“What truly baffles me are the Wizard Ring Level and seniority…” Noland Lee shared his frustrations.
Nicolette held her head with her hands and asked:
“Why do you need a Sub-Dimensional Plane so urgently? I think Island 33 here is pretty good.”
Noland Lee laughed:
“Because Sub-Dimensional Planes are safer than islands, Nicolette, safe in every sense of the word. When our true selves are in a Sub-Dimensional Plane, we don’t need to enter the Natural World ourselves; we can just send a Magic Avatar infused with our consciousness. The death of a Magic Avatar doesn’t affect our true selves; at most, it causes us pain for a while.
“Think about it; doesn’t that mean we effectively have many lives?”
“It does seem so…”
Nicolette said, blinking.
Nolin nodded thoughtfully, lost in her own musings.
