Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 628: 201. Cutting Wood and Attacking Fortresses_3

Compared to the Farm-style operation of speedrunning bounty missions, the operation of establishing a friendly relationship with powerful wizard forces is more fortified.

Once the latter is successful, Noland Lee will bring about a qualitative change in the human resources aspect. This kind of change can save a lot of trouble and can also speed up the accumulation of primitive capital.

Noland is quite looking forward to his first meeting with the Pangula Family.

“I’ll just wait for the invitation letter to visit them. Hopefully, the Pangula family member who wants to meet me doesn’t have too strong of a status within the family, otherwise, I might have some difficulty dealing with them.”

Noland shook his head slightly, calmed his heart, and flew towards the magic ocean currents.

He called up the deconstruction results of six arrest warrants in his mind and quickly scanned the content on the arrest warrants.

When he returned to the Inner Circle through the magic ocean current, he had already chosen his first bounty target.

“Liturte, an Inferior Wizard Criminal, a Three-ring Deep Sea Combat Wizard, with a bounty of 130,000 gold coins. His deep-sea magic comes from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. He was involved the disappearance of two fishing boats and the poisoning of three coastal ecological farms. His crimes deserve death, but he has some interrogation value, and might pry out information of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. Capturing him alive could get 100% of the bounty. Turning in the corpse would only get 20% of the bounty. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“So should I capture him alive or turn in his corpse?”

“Hmm… I’d rather choose to turn in the corpse. Even though the bounty on hand will be less, it will save me a lot of trouble. After all, I use mental magic in the process of capturing criminals, and if I let a wizard criminal who knows that I can use mental magic live, it will bring me a lot of trouble.”

Noland closed the deconstruction results of the other five arrest warrants in his mind, leaving only Liturte’s arrest warrant.

After arriving at the Inner Circle, he took a magical taxi to the edge of the Inner Circle, then cast a flight spell to enter the islands of the Outer Ring.

When he entered the Outer Ring, Noland followed the information provided in the arrest warrant and hovered near an island controlled by the Ocean Fishery Company.

The information said that the wanted criminal named Liturte had appeared on this island four days ago.

At that time, he was trying to poison the fishing grounds and was quickly discovered by the duty wizard.

After injuring the duty wizard, he cast a deep-sea spell, submerged to the sea surface, and vanished.

Tracking such a fugitive who has been on the run for four days is not easy, as no one knows where he went or where his next crime scene will be.

But that’s for ordinary enforcement wizards.

Noland first made a show of checking the crime scene, indicating that he had been there.

Then, he returned to the Island Affairs Department and took the poison bottle found at the crime scene.

The Island Affairs Department will conduct a preliminary appraisal of the items involved in the case and record the appraisal results in the form of an appraisal report.

Noland briefly scanned the content of the report, which mentioned that the style and craftsmanship of the poison bottle were from the Kashel Continent.

The report writer speculated that Liturte had bought the poison from a deep-sea merchant on the Kashel Continent and suggested that the enforcers investigate by starting with the deep-sea merchants.

Noland didn’t care about the appraisal results on the report.

He looked at the poison bottle sealed in a transparent glass container, cast a Deconstruction Technique, used 10 points of energy, and obtained the deconstruction results of the poison bottle.

The System Feedback Message showed:

The poison bottle was made in a magic glass workshop on an island in the Outer Circle of the Suman Archipelago. This is completely different from the speculation in the appraisal report.

Investigating according to the content of the appraisal report, it would be a miracle to find Liturte.

Noland didn’t want to waste time.

He flew directly over the Magic Glass Workshop and used Deconstruction Technique to obtain the “identity” column of each person.

As luck would have it, Liturte, disguised as a workshop worker, was mingling among them, resting with a group of workers under a sunshade.

Noland descended from the sky, landing in front of the workers, pointing his finger at Liturte and casting “Mind Control,” a spell that had been in his hands but seldom used on humans.

This magic spell has a very low completeness, only 10%, making it almost impossible to control the target, and it cannot be used on the same target again in a short time.

However, it can put the target into a “Spirit Haze” state.

Before Liturte could figure out what was going on, he felt a fierce wave of dizziness and involuntarily stiffened on the bench.

Noland Lee spoke in a deep voice:

“Cooperative Defense Enforcement Wizard working on the case. Everyone but the person I point to must leave the scene immediately.”

The laborers scattered, hiding under the eaves of the buildings a dozen meters away, while Liturte, disguised as a laborer, remained in place.

By the time all the innocent laborers had left, Liturte, who had been hit by “Mind Control,” was still unable to recover from his daze.

Noland Lee faced the dumbfounded enemy and quickly pointed a finger, sending a black light column that pierced through the opponent’s forehead and heart.

Liturte had not maintained a magic shield to make his disguise more believable.

The rays fired by Noland Lee landed on him, piercing his body instantly and leaving two round holes.

Liturte, with Level 3 battle strength, died on the spot, unable to use even the most basic counterattack, defense, or self-protection methods.

No one could blame him for being incompetent.

If there was anyone to blame, it was Noland Lee, who had already seen all his details and aimed to take him down from the very beginning without any intention of interrogating him.

If a whole set of strong control + high damage spells still couldn’t kill an unprepared combat wizard in seconds, then Noland Lee would have wasted his Deconstruction Technique, as well as his 100-level “Death Two Finger” and “Mind Control.”

Yes, in order to achieve a 100% control success rate, Noland Lee had leveled up “Mind Control” to Level 100 on the spot, and throughout the process, he had chosen “Option 1: Increase Control Duration by 10%” every time he triggered the Ten-Level Reward.

Now, the Level 100 “Mind Control” can steadily control targets of Ten Rings and below for at least 1 second.

The lower the target’s ring level, the longer the control time.

For a Four-ring Wizard with less than 150 spirit points, regardless of whether they are a combat Wizard or not, once hit by “Mind Control,” they will enter a state of daze lasting 7 seconds.

That was the confidence Noland Lee had in his one-shot kill.

Noland Lee used the “Wizard’s Hand” to collect the filthy blood that was about to fall to the ground, keeping other people’s territory clean.

After briefly checking the results of the Passive Deconstruction, Noland Lee put Liturte’s corpse in a body bag and placed it in his Magic Pouch.

After doing this, the owner of the Magic Glass Workshop just arrived.

Noland Lee, after showing the Appointment Order to the owner, took Liturte’s corpse away without saying an extra word or wasting even a second.

Back at the Island Affairs Department, Noland Lee found the agent Jenela, wrote up an action report on the spot, and handed over the corpse.

According to the rules of the Wizard Enforcement Department, whoever kills a criminal has the right to distribute the spoils of war on the criminal’s body.

Noland Lee unceremoniously took the belongings from Liturte’s body and placed them in his Magic Pouch, then used a soul-absorbing crystal to remove the soul fragments.

Once Jenela confirmed the death indeed belonged to Liturte, Noland Lee turned to the door and went to track down the next wanted criminal.

“You can hold onto my bounty for now, Jenela. I’ll come to get it once I’ve taken care of all six wanted criminals.”

“Alright, Jarvis!” Jenela watched Noland Lee leave with a look of admiration.

Killing a wanted criminal in seconds is doable for anyone with a meticulous plan and a certain level of strength.

However, only Noland Lee could locate the wanted criminals in such a short period, which made Jenela admire him even more.
