Chapter 852: 266. Noland walks the tightrope_3
Lonco fell silent for a moment: noveldrama
“If I didn’t know you had mastered the ‘Sonic Blast’ spell, I would have almost thought you were boasting… Well, I’ll tentatively believe what you’ve said. What do you plan to do?”
Noland Lee pushed the magic books the other party had seen before in front of him:
“Proceed as planned. You entrust the Pangula Family to mine, proving my information on the ore is accurate, and then we sign a long-term magic contract.
“When Yorksim makes offerings to the Sea Monsters, my thunder and lightning will descend from the sky, killing some of the Sea Monsters on-site and breaking the Queen’s Barrier.
“You will emerge as a hero of Deep Sea Branch, using the ‘Sonic Blast Magic Scroll’ I gave you to kill most of the Sea Monsters and intimidate Yorksim and the others.”
...
“That simple?” Lonco was taken aback.
“Yes, that simple.” Noland Lee tapped on the cover of the magic books:
“I need to sign a magic contract with the Deep Sea Branch first, get the private isle within the Core Circle, and then set up the thunder and lightning spells I’ll need in the future.
“That private isle will become my base for launching Thunderclouds. The Deep Sea Branch can later use ‘Thundercloud Scrolls’ for a fee to continually intimidate the Sea Monsters.
You can discuss with Selena the fee for using Thunderclouds for a fee. You can also buy ‘Sonic Blast’ and ‘Underwater Scorching Ray’ magic scrolls from her when you need them.”
Noland Lee smiled at Selena:
“Don’t give him a discount just because Lonco is your brother, alright?”
“Yes~” Selena nodded with a smile, causing Lonco to hum displeasedly beside her.
Seeing his Sister so compliant to Noland Lee’s words, Lonco felt helpless.
He rubbed his forehead and said:
“I’ve seen your methods, Jarvis, and my father also affirms your tactics and future plans. As long as father reviews your Magic Contract and finds no issues, we can sign it now.”
“That couldn’t be better, Lonco. You won’t regret making this decision.” Noland Lee clapped his hands and grinned.
He gave Selena a meaningful glance.
Understanding, Selena took a pre-written contract from the desk and placed it on the coffee table between the three of them.
The main framework of this contract was conceived by Noland Lee himself.
Selena was responsible for optimizing the details.
In simple terms:
Noland Lee was the Client, and the Deep Sea Branch was Party B.
Noland Lee would provide the Suman Archipelago’s Nonmetal Mineral Distribution Map, ‘Thundercloud Scrolls,’ ‘Sonic Blast Magic Scrolls,’ ‘Underwater Scorching Ray Magic Scrolls,’ and other such beneficial items to the Deep Sea Branch for a fee.
The Deep Sea Branch would pay Noland Lee in installments for the services and goods provided.
Every six months, the price of services and goods would be adjusted once based on the prosperity of the Suman Archipelago, with Selena calculating the most optimal price for both parties.
In addition to paying for Noland Lee’s services and goods with gold coins, the Deep Sea Branch would also permanently transfer the ownership of an isle within the Core Circle to Noland Lee and help him construct magical facilities on the isle.
Lonco had already relayed Sidney’s death and the plan proposed by Noland Lee to his father, Dean Mingwaq Pomida of the Deep Sea Branch.
Mingwaq was busy at Ulnas Circle and couldn’t come to the Deep Sea Branch.
He left Lonco fully in charge of the matter.
As long as the Magic Contract signed with Noland Lee was beneficial to the Deep Sea Branch, there was no need to refuse it.
With Selena serving as a go-between and witness, the cooperation between the two parties had a certain foundation.
Because of these reasons, after reviewing the Magic Contract carefully, Lonko sent it to his father for approval.
Half an hour later, Mingwaq’s reply reached Lonco.
Mingwaq confirmed he accepted Noland Lee’s Magic Contract and approved Lonco to sign it.
Lonco took a pen and wrote his name on the Magic Contract.
Noland Lee also wrote his name.
The Magic Contract, over three meters long, emitted a dazzling radiance of white light.
It floated in mid-air, split in two, and two beams of white light shot into the foreheads of Noland Lee and Lonco.
With this, the Magic Contract was established.
Noland Lee then took out over 20 ‘Sonic Blast Magic Scrolls’ on the spot and, along with the magic books documenting the ore distribution map, handed them over to Selena for safekeeping to sell to Lonco.
Each Magic Scroll contained ‘Sonic Blast’ endowed with 10 million points of Wind energy.
The Wind energy was procured by Selena on behalf of Noland Lee.
The cost of purchasing Wind Magic Stones would be included in the price of the Magic Scrolls and charged to the Deep Sea Branch.
Noland Lee was specifically responsible for weaving the Wind energy into spells and storing them in the scrolls.
Seeing Noland Lee so forthright, Lonco did not drag his feet either.
He took out the ownership certificate of the Core Circle Island and drafted a contract for the transfer of the isle on-site, which he and Noland Lee immediately signed.
From now on, the middle-sized isle numbered 033 within the Core Circle would be the private property of Noland Lee.
“I’ll be taking my leave first with Selena, Lonco,” said Noland Lee after signing the contract, a slight joy evident on his face:
“I need to get the island sorted out as soon as possible, lest it delay future matters.”
Selena pocketed the Magic Scrolls and stood up, lifting the hem of her skirt:
“Yes, Brother, I’m going to help Noland Lee build the magical facilities on the island, so I won’t be staying here any longer.”
Lonco sighed under his breath:
“Go on, then. I’ll talk with Talin and see how she’s managing the Academy. The ruckus caused by Yorksim and others has surely given her a headache.”
