Chapter 261: 116. Interrupt abruptly_5

“I can’t seem to control it…” Philia’s face turned pale, with beads of crystal-clear sweat on the tip of her lovely nose. “Do you feel like you can’t suppress your hatred?”

“Yes, Ray Lee.”

“Alright, don’t force yourself, Philia.”

Noland Lee reached out to take the magic wand, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He didn’t feel the negative emotions that strong, so why couldn’t Philia suppress it?

Strange.

Could it be that after his own ordeal in the Suffering Borderland, his grit and determination had made him highly resistant to negative emotions?

Hmm.

That is possible.

In such a desolate place, the ghostly Suffering Borderland, you either die or go mad. Escaping like Noland had made him one in a million; it’s normal for him to have strong mental strength.

Thinking for half a second, Noland Lee said:

“Philia, are there any wizards with stronger willpower around here? You can ask them to try. To control this magic wand, willpower is essential. If the situation is difficult, I can make some more time to help you all adapt to it.” Philia considered it and shook her head, smiling gratefully:

“Don’t trouble yourself, Ray Lee. We can take some magic elixirs, that should help us use it.”

“Oh, that’s good.” Noland Lee nodded, feeling relieved.

After all, it was the large Elemental Judgement household, there must be ways to force the use of the magic wand.

He didn’t need to worry.

“Come on, let’s go to the guest room. I will take the wand to test it. After making sure there are no issues, I will bring the compensation.”

Philia went inside to fetch the metal box, put the wand into the box, and asked while walking:

“How much compensation do you think is appropriate, Ray Lee? In addition to

Union Coins, you can also choose magical materials and magical items. Like ‘Revealing Dust’, ‘Underwater Breathing Potions’, ‘Wisdom Elixirs’, one-time use ‘Food Creation Scrolls’. We have some stock here.”

“You’ve provided the experimental site and materials, and I’ve only provided knowledge and some effort…”

Noland Lee quickly pondered.

The Level 10 Death Threaded Wand had a lower power than First Order Alchemy Armor, about 80% of its level.

If the alchemy stone isn’t counted, the official price given by the Alchemy Cathedral for a First Order Alchemy Armor is one million Union Coins.

80%, which is 800,000.

He hadn’t provided materials and space, only service.

Therefore, the 800,000 needs to be reduced.

That Sand Iris Cat had excellent quality, delicate and smooth fur, and a diamond-like magic heart. It’s worth a lot of money.

He had already earned the Energy Points, so slightly reducing the price to cement the friendship between both parties is not bad.

“Philia, how about 300,000 Union Coins? Considering my good impression of you all, this is a friendly price.”

“Thank you, Ray Lee.” Philia’s full moon-looking face deflated, and she sighed in relief.

She smiled and said:

‘Your price is quite fair. I initially thought you would slaughter me mercilessly.”

“Haha-“Noland laughed cheerfully:

“I’m not that kind of person. Business and friendship are all about long-term relationships.”

“Yes, you’re right. If you need to purchase products from the Cat Society, just come to me. All prices start at a 20% discount.”

“Alright, I will.”

Philia opened the door to the guest room, settled Noland in, and left with the metal box.

Noland sat in the soft chair and took a sip of the warm tea.

His first deal based on knowledge was about to be completed.

It would be a lie to say he wasn’t excited.

Standing by the window of the guest room, Noland watched the garden and butterflies outside, and the agitation in his heart quickly settled.

His gaze passed through the manor’s wall, falling hundreds of meters away where an uneven black line appeared on the ground.

This black line looked curved and jagged at the edges.

It stretched from the far left of his view to the far right, as if someone had slashed the earth’s belly.

This was none other than the Great Rift of Union City.

Due to the angle of observation, the rift appeared as a thin crack stretching for several kilometers in Noland’s eyes.

But in reality, when seen from the high vantage point of the Upper City Area, the rift appears as a black abyss swallowing all light and sight.

It presented an irregular, round shape, with radial fissures all around the outline.

A whole circle of metal fences surrounded it.

Only authorized individuals could enter.

People could follow the suspended ladder, scaffold, and Fissure Corridor walkways, starting from the clifftop and step into the depths of the rift, one level at a time.

At this moment, several alchemy devices appeared near the Great Rift, designed to extract metallic dust.

They had huge horn -shaped collectors and an astonishingly powerful air-pumping array.

At full power, at least 70% of the Universal Metal Dust sprayed from the rift would be absorbed by the alchemy devices and stored in their internal storage space.

The remaining 30% of the dust would slowly settle in the air, helped by the sprayed mist from the alchemy devices, landing on the ground and flowing through the drainage pipeline into the underground waterway areas on the first and second levels.

The underground waterways would intercept two-thirds of this dust.

The remaining Universal Metal Dust would sink into the earth and flow back into the deepest part of the Aberration Den in the Fissure Corridor.

Noland mentally simulated the whole process and couldn’t help but marvel at the grand scale of the alchemy engineering..
