Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 840: 264. Mira’s Dilemma

Selena, acting as a secretary, handled everything very proficiently.

After sending Noland Lee the guest list for the banquet at sea, she also sent over the lists of treasure hunting fleets from the Hayden and Charnel families.

With these lists in hand, a tour around Subsea No.13 would allow for the identification and matching of ships and passengers.

The only person worth Noland Lee’s attention was one individual,

That was Mira Faar, whom he and Denise Green had mentioned.

This dark-skinned fire witch possessed the strength of a Seventh Ring Combat Wizard on land.

But at sea, her combat capability declined by at least 20%.

If the battle were to move underwater, her strength would be, at best, only 10%.

Noland had already chosen this witch to aid Sienna Nobus, and he could not let her meet her end here.

Noland guessed the reason for Mira Faar’s attendance at the banquet at sea.

If he was right, the witch would discretely converse with the banquet’s host, Yorksim, to inquire about the true circumstances behind Mother of Sienna’s tragic death.

This was a significant task given to Mira Faar by the “Blazing Queen.”

After deep consideration and weighing numerous plans, Noland ultimately decided on a strategy: “to lend a hand just before Mira Faar finds herself in a dire situation.”

As for scenarios like “Taking center stage and embarking on a massacre, showing holiness in front of everyone,” truthfully, Noland hadn’t even considered such high-profile actions before vetoing them.

The only ones who would witness his prowess in non-death spells—like mental magic, thunder and lightning magic, etc.—could only be two types.

One type includes trustworthy collaborators like Denise and Selena.

The other type, those who could no longer speak: the dead.

Since Noland wouldn’t actively kill any of the treasure hunters to prevent his secrets from leaking, naturally, he would not indulge in such public shows of power.

“Meow~~” The Snow-winged Cat landed on Noland’s shoulder as he contemplated his strategy and rubbed against his cheek.

Noland scratched the fluffy cheek of the Snow-winged Cat and took out a new letter from the cat’s Magic Pouch.

“These treasure hunters at sea really are fearless…”

As he read the characters on the letter, Noland couldn’t help but comment.

Denise leaned over, glanced at the letter, and disdainfully “ehh-ed.”

In the letter, Selena stated:

The Deep Sea Branch had informed the treasure hunting fleets lingering in the southern seabed of the Starfall Sea about the presence of sea monsters and advised them to promptly return to the Suman Archipelago.

Regrettably, only the fleets that realized they couldn’t obtain any treasure left; the fleets from the three prominent families kindly turned down Selena’s suggestion with various reasons.noveldrama

They had informed Selena that their fleets were now all gathered above Subsea No.13, their presence nearly filling up the sea surface of the entire subsea region.

With so many experienced wizards at sea, they believed they could handle pirates should they encounter any.

Besides, they had set up a magic block net underwater.

Not only could this net catch any falling Dragon clan treasure, but it could also prevent sea monsters from surfacing.

With a plethora of wizards present and the magical defense systems on the ships, the treasure hunting fleets were confident that they had little to fear.

Every family responding to Selena cited similar reasons, without exception.

They seemed very confident in their own strength.

Noland wondered if they hadn’t sent someone to check the seabed.

Thirty pirate ships.

At least 100 sirens per ship.

Thats a total of roughly 3000 sea monsters lurking on the seabed, including numerous regular troops from the Sirens Kingdom.

Among them, there could be powerful siren spellcasters known as “The Furious XX.”

Noland surmised that even if he were to consume tens of millions of points of wind energy to unleash a “Sonic Blast,” he might not be able to inflict effective damage on this group of sea monsters.

If the treasure hunting fleets took a look underwater, wouldn’t their confidence wane?

Indeed, they had sent someone to check.

However, what they saw was not quite the same as what Noland had seen.

Selena wrote that the wizards sent by the treasure hunting fleets to the seabed only saw a few small pirate ships roaming the depths.

This was very peculiar.

But, Noland was not inclined to argue, nor was he about to insist Selena force the treasure hunting fleets to retreat.

He wasn’t the nanny of the treasure hunting teams.

If those people prized treasure over their lives, let them take the risk; he had no obligation to be responsible for their lives or deaths.

Being from families with robust wealth, the treasure hunting fleets could afford to open a teleportation gate and forcefully evacuate through teleportation if necessary.

Noland felt no need to fret over their safety.

He took out pen and paper and wrote a reply to Selena.

In the letter, he instructed her to simply follow the Deep Sea Branch’s reinforcement procedures and not to concern herself too much with the lives or fates of the treasure teams.

After sending off the letter, about half a minute passed before Selena’s reply arrived.

The reply featured a “no problem” gesture and a smiley face outlined with a Magic Pen.

Seeing that Selena did not ask unnecessary questions or take matters into her own hands, Noland’s satisfaction with his future secretary grew.

He stuffed the letter into the Magic Pouch and activated the “Tracking Mark” located on the seabed of Subsea No.13.

Hundreds of pirate ships remained hidden on the seabed.

This time, however, the water around the pirate ships showed changes.

Three female sirens held hands at the seabed, forming a circle.

Their faces, while also triangular, were much softer than those of male sirens, and their figures were fuller than the males’.
