Chapter 854: 267. Foolish and cunning

Day Two at dusk.

On an isle within the Inner Circle.

An Illusion Forest crafted by magic concealed the figures of Noland Lee and Mira Faar.

An Anti-detection Magic Barrier erased all energy fluctuations, thoroughly covering their tracks.

The two were sitting in the Illusion Forest, sipping tea while admiring the setting sun sinking into the sea, as they looked towards the three islands of Dickler Fegan.

“Thank you for your assistance on the sea, Mr. Jarvis,”

...

Mira Faar said with a sincere smile and a respectful tone.

She did not disregard him because of the First Rank Wizard Magic Robe he was wearing.

A Saint Level Mind Wizard who possessed powerful thunder and lightning spells, and could command Selena.

The combination of these three aspects made it sufficient for Mira Faar to treat Noland Lee as a Saint Wizard, even though he only held the status of a First Rank Wizard in public.

Another halo around Noland charmed as well.

When he met with Mira Faar, his face was adorned with the Silent Enforcer’s Mask.

Mira Faar recognized the origin of the mask—it was from the Silent Maiden that only recruited witches.

A male wizard joining a wizard force that only recruited witches, what was going on…

Mira Faar curiously surveyed Noland’s profile, her gaze sweeping past the adam’s apple on his throat. noveldrama

Noland detected the gaze from the deeply skilled witch.

“Mira, you can just call me Jarvis,” Noland chuckled and asked,

“The Task the ‘Blazing Queen’ assigned to you was somewhat thorny, wasn’t it? You must have faced numerous obstacles while investigating the true cause of Sienna’s mother’s death. Not only would Dickler Fegan befuddle you with his slippery rhetoric, but Yorksim, who is one of the people privy to the information, would also avoid talking about it, or take the opportunity to extort money. However, the price Yorksim sets would definitely be unbearable for you.”

Noland turned his head to look at the thoughtful witch:

“Don’t ask me how I know so much about your investigative progress, Mira. The secret letter that Selena wrote to the ‘Blazing Queen’ was written at my behest. The clues obtained from Sienna’s housekeeper Keda were conveyed by me to Selena, and then sent by Selena to the ‘Blazing Queen’.”

“So, you were the one guiding us to investigate this matter?” Mira Faar asked.

“Yes,” Noland nodded, candidly admitting,

“Before you arrived, I already had a clear conclusion to the investigation. Every clue related to the tragic death of Sienna’s parents has been erased from the Material World. It is impossible for you to find any evidence pointing to the crime from the murderers, Dickler Fegan, Fagen Pangula, Yorksim, and others.

“The leads provided by Keda merely mentioned their strange behavior before the incident. He does not have solid physical evidence to prove that Sienna’s parents’ death was a murder rather than an accident. This is an unsolved case with no leads, Mira. I imagine you have already realized this in the course of your investigation,”

Mira Faar nodded silently, her wheat-colored pretty face covered in worry.

“There’s only one way to restore the truth of the incident,” Noland looked towards Dickler Fegan’s island, saying indifferently,

“Make Dickler Fegan willingly enter the Dream Array and replay the entire process of his involvement in the murder of Sienna’s parents in the Dreamscape. The murder happened between November 22nd and November 27th, five years ago. If you reenact the Dreamscape according to this period, the Farrell Clan will be able to witness the entire course of the murder.”

These series of numbers related to the dates were found by Noland from the memory of Dickler Turner’s private housekeeper.

After the tragic death of Sienna’s parents, every year between November 22nd and 27th, Dickler Fegan would recall his “achievement” of conspiring with his father to successfully murder their competitor.

He would instruct his private housekeeper Festa to prepare a dinner party, social escorts, and fine wine, and celebrate lavishly at his residential estate.

Festa deeply etched this period into memory each year.

The related Memory Fragments surfaced in the Deconstruction Results after Noland finished off Festa.

But it was difficult for others to comprehend how Noland came across these numbers…

“Five years ago… November 22nd to 27th… Such precise dates, how did you know? Surely not…” Mira Faar furrowed her brows slightly, looking at Noland as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Noland shook his head slightly:

“Bound by the Ulnas Ring Law, although I possess Saint-level Mind Magic proficiency, I would not use Memory Reader spells on anyone. So, rest assured. The means by which I obtained this information is legal and does not violate the Ulnas Ring Law. Don’t worry too much about the details, Mira, as it could affect the rhythm of our communication.”

Noland raised a finger and said,

“Now, remember this. After sunset today, Dickler Fegan and his Family secret guard will leave the Suman Archipelago by boat. Once they reach the Treasure Sea, Dickler Fegan will activate a Teleportation Gate and arrive directly at the Scorched Rock Plateau to meet his father. His Family secret guard will take care of escorting the fleet.

“I will keep Dickler Fegan here, and hand him over to you to take to the ‘Blazing Queen.’ At that time, you just need to appear at the scene and take Dickler Fegan away. I will clear away all other obstacles for you.”

Mira Faar caught her breath, her heartbeat quickened by Noland’s calm demeanor and astounding statements:
