Constructing-Style Wizard - Chapter 789
Chapter 789: 251. Mr. Big Stick
After visiting the alien devices that day, Noland Lee left Selena’s study late into the night.
That night, Noland learned from Selena about Hotams’ entire plan to erase the metal creations.
Hotams temporarily named this plan “Stone Grass”, with the implication of replacing metals with stone and wooden products.
The next evening, Noland Lee returned to Selena’s study to fulfill his promise.
He had prepared a travelogue-like discourse with “I have a friend” as the theme.
Through the perspective of his “friend”, he described to Selena what this “friend” had seen in the southern sea of the Spinning Continent.
Queen Isidora, the queen’s royal guards, the sea monster nobility system, slave soldiers, periodic trials of the sea monster nobility, the Dreadscale Elder, and so on,
To Selena, all these things that sounded like tales from another world, Noland picked the most interesting bits to share with her.
His tales were filled with detailed descriptions of the cultural customs of the Sirens’ Kingdom, frequently referencing nouns pronounced in Siren language.
All of these elements added to the credibility of his narrative.
Noland also mentioned the existence of Queen Isidora’s Magic Barrier to Selena.
This magic barrier was the final blow that plunged Selena into despair.
Selena had no reason to doubt the truth of Noland’s words.
For in the soul contract they signed, it was explicitly required for both parties to state the truth about what they know during transactions.
Noland could have intentionally withheld some information, but he absolutely couldn’t bluff Selena with false or misleading contents, otherwise he would incur punishment from the soul contract.
The fact proved that all he said was true; the soul contract did not punish him.
After repeatedly confirming the truth of all Noland’s’ statements, Selena was completely distraught. Her eyes were filled with confusion and difficulty, and she instantly lost the motivation to work.
In a rare move, she proposed to take a leave, avoiding all affairs and secluding herself in the bedroom of the Academy Castle.
Most of the time, truth can be more cruel than lies.
The magic barrier of Witch Isidora could forcibly take control of all sea water and deep sea magic power from the hands of the deep-sea wizards and hand it over to Queen Isidora.
Just because of this, the Sirens Kingdom would always have the upper hand.
On top of this, the stronger the Sirens Kingdom, the weaker the chances of the Deep Sea Branch winning become.
A legendary deep-sea magical beast, the Wildtide Elder with Ten-Ring combat strength, the sea monster slave soldiers with amazing breeding and growth rates, sea monsters that can match 6 or 7-ring combat wizards…
These shocking intelligence reports accumulated in Selena’s heart layer by layer.
She needed some quiet to find her own purpose in life.
Noland could understand Selena’s feelings.
He also believed that she could get through this.
By his calculation, Selena should come out of her current state after about 72 hours in her bedroom.
If you ask Noland how he knows, he would respond with a smirk, “Of course, by deconstruction.”
A negative effect named ‘Morale Frustration’ appeared on Selena’s panel information.
Its remaining duration was exactly 72 hours.
When the negative effect disappeared, Selena would naturally come out of her bedroom.
While Selena’s morale was low, Noland carried on with his usual activities.
In the six newly-acquired shaping energy plans, only the ‘Tracking Thunder Arrow Array’, ‘Magic Electric Arc Furnace’, and ‘Thunderstorm Nova’ were worth his energy and effort.
Noland set up a magic fog that shielded from peep and energy fluctuation on Snow Mountain Island 1, and began his work on creating magic along the shore.
He had guessed before that he could create weakened versions of magic through a “shoddy” method.
His guess turned out to be correct.
For the ‘Tracking Thunder Arrow Array’, Noland used 10,000 points of thunder and lightning energy and 1,000 energy points to create a 10% complete version.
The Array came with 10,000 points of energy value.
The thunder and lightning energy contained in each arrow fired could be selected from 1 to 10,000 points.
The more thunder and lightning energy contained in the arrow, the longer the flight distance and the greater the power.
Note that the thunder and lightning energy would be consumed during the flight of the arrow.
1 point of thunder and lightning energy would decrease for every 1 meter flown.
The flight speed of the arrow was very fast.
Due to the limited field, Noland could not calculate the specific data in the tests, but it was conservatively estimated to be over 3000 meters per second.
For the ‘Magic Electric Arc Furnace’, Noland made a 0.01% complete version that produced approximately 10 points of fire energy per second.
The Magic Electric Arc Furnace took the form of a hollow cylinder radiating red light, flawless and smooth as crystal.
Noland accumulated tens of thousands of points of fire energy using the Magic Electric Arc Furnace and attempted to shape magic with the ‘Shaping Energy Technique’.
He then received several fire magics such as ‘Fireball’, ‘Fire Whip’, ‘Entwined Fire Armor’, ‘Flame Supernova’, ‘Lava Surge’,etc.
All these spells were recorded by the ‘Ascension Fortress’ without exception.
Giving thought to the fact that his opponents are aquatic creatures, Noland wisely stopped working on the fire spells to avoid wasting energy and stamina.
The ‘Thunderstorm Nova’ spell, Noland had also created.
