Chapter 372: 135. Cross-boundary cooperation_2

Translator: 549690339

It can be said that if the Machinery Factory had not been destroyed, everything would have been fine. Samuelson could stay underground, helping the Nest Core with Magic Enlightenment. Elemental Judgement could stay in Union City, leisurely waiting for Samuelson’s research results.

From beginning to end, only those nine wizards who illegally opened the Teleportation Gates would be harmed. They brought this upon themselves for opening the gates illegally.

However, rest assured.

These nine wizards would only be imprisoned by Samuelson, not killed by him.

This has to do with the ranking of wizard criminals in the Ulnas Circle.

Everyone knows that it was Samuelson who imprisoned the nine wizards. If these wizards were to die, the person who would take the blame would be Samuelson. Carrying the responsibility of nine wizard deaths at once would elevate Samuelson from an “Inferior Mage Level” criminal to a “Sin Wizard Level” criminal.

In chasing and capturing Sin Wizard Level criminals, the Wizard Enforcement Department is allowed to use Teleportation Gates.

This means that the Wizard Enforcers, who would originally need more than a month to reach Union City, would appear near Samuelson with a “whoosh”.

Once it is confirmed that a wizard criminal is carrying a large number of murders, deserving of death, and unable to pay the fine for redeeming their lives, the Wizard Enforcers would impose punishment on them.

Within the Interior of Ulnas Circle, wizard criminals are divided into five levels.

The first level is Impure Wizard.

This refers to wizards who have committed minor offenses, far from being considered criminals.

They only need to pay a fine, accept punishment, and then they can cleanse themselves of impurity and become legal wizards again.

The second level is Inferior Mage Level.

Crimes like illegally possessing other wizards’ legal assets, illegally determining other wizards’ knowledge and secrets, plagiarizing legal wizards’ original magic, or murdering legal wizards will result in a pursuit by the Wizard Enforcement Department.

As there is a pursuit, there’s a bounty.

Wizards whose rights are infringed upon, victimized wizard families, the Wizard Enforcement Department, and other individuals or magical institutions, will set up bounties.

The bounty for Inferior Wizard Criminals will not exceed 1 million Ulnas Gold Coins.

Samuelson is Inferior Wizard Criminal number 106, and the total bounty on his head is 890,000 Ulnas Gold Coins.

Killing nine wizards at once would cause his bounty to skyrocket by hundreds of thousands of Ulnas Gold Coins, immediately turning him into a higher-level criminal. As long as he is not stupid, Samuelson would definitely not do it.

The third level is Sin Wizard Level.

The total bounty ranges from more than 1 million Ulnas Gold Coins to less than 30 million Ulnas Gold Coins.

Wizards at this level of criminality are treated as high-priority targets for assassination. Wizard Enforcers will teleport to them and claim their lives.

The fourth level is Disaster Wizard Level.

The total bounty ranges from 30 million to 100 million Ulnas Gold Coins.

Wizards at this level of criminality can essentially act with impunity, as the Wizard Enforcement Department doesn’t have the ability to catch them. Most of the time, their bounties serve only to measure their fame and strength.

According to Denise Green, even if these criminal wizards enter the Ulnas Circle, the Wizard Enforcement Department would not dare to take action. Because if they drive them too hard, the negative impact caused would far outweigh their bounties.

The fifth level is Annihilating Wizard Level.

The total bounty is more than 100 million Ulnas Gold Coins.

Wizards at this level of criminality, if they appear within the Ulnas Circle, can enjoy a ceremonious reception with many wizards, both male and female, in attendance.

Of course, this is sarcasm.

The so-called ceremonious reception and accompaniment entail close round-the-clock surveillance.

Annihilating Wizard Level criminals usually have their own territories, which might be magical islands floating in the air or enclosed magical kingdoms.

In any case, at this level of criminality, wizard criminals don’t need to pay much attention to the Ulnas Circle’s mood anymore.

Noland Lee estimated his own ranking according to this system.

If the incidents of killing Hickman Arlington and Greenshaw were exposed, he would instantly become an Inferior Wizard Criminal.

Only by paying at least 20,000 Ulnas Gold Coins and spending a year in Wizards Prison would he be able to rid himself of this Inferior Wizard status.

Scared?

Not a bit.

Having the System to become powerful and still afraid, Noland might as well go back to the Suffering Borderland and dig up some bones.

Noland never thought about living under someone else’s roof in the Ulnas Circle.

Never.

His experiences in the Suffering Borderland had made him realize one thing:

He, Noland Lee, was not here to adapt to this world, but to make the world adapt to him.

With the System in place but still feeling uneasy, what’s the use of having the System?

From the moment Noland began planning to become a knowledge broker, he knew he would end up on the opposite side of the Ulnas Circle.

That’s because the Ulnas Circle advocates for knowledge blockade within.

The Ulnas Circle does not allow magical knowledge from various fields to circulate, artificially creating a high wall restricting knowledge circulation, only retaining a few legal knowledge circulation channels.

Regardless of the reasons for doing so, Noland had found a business opportunity in this aspect. He could use the information gap to make money on cross-domain knowledge circulation.

Noland was clear that if he continued down the planned path, not only would he become an Inferior Wizard Criminal in the future, but he might also become an Annihilating Wizard Level criminal.

There’s a saying:

When I was weak, people told me to focus on the big picture. When I became strong, I told them that I am the big picture.

Noland believed that there would come a day when even the Ulnas Circle could not shake him.
