Flying Salvage Special Machine Spirits were certainly more flexible than those that could only run on the ground, but inevitably, their carrying capacity would be reduced. Additionally, their material requirements became higher.

The Salvage-specific Mechanism Spirits that appeared on the battlefield were the result of Noland Lee’s multiple trials and tests. They had the best integrated performance and the widest adaptability, and they could complete the task in various complex terrains.

Noland Lee released the 12 Salvage-specific Mechanism Spirits, and he could stand aside and control them with “Mind Control” to collect the Spoils of War.

Deliberately showcasing his Alchemy achievements in front of Mabel was part of the plan, and Noland was not worried about causing any negative consequences. He had many ways to deal with it.

Noland looked overhead.

The group of Combat Alchemists had held back the Polluted Angel for him, and his actions to crush a large group of Contaminant Byproducts had ignited the fighting passion of the Combat Alchemists. The situation on the battlefield was turning in favor of the Alchemy Cathedral, and Noland didn’t need to go support them.

Taking advantage of the cleanup time, Noland asked Mabel, who was gradually recovering:

“Ma’am, has the Mass Wizard Tombs proposed to the Alchemy Cathedral to send wizards here for assistance?”

Mabel took a slight breath and said:

“Yes, Ray Lee. But the proposal was rejected by the Alchemy Cathedral. So the wizards gathered by the Mass Wizard Tombs couldn’t reach here through the Teleportation Gate.”

Noland nodded slowly:

“It seems that we can only rely on local Combat Alchemists and ourselves to deal with the Pollution Zone. Fortunately, the Star Filtering Net reacted in time and closed the gap in the sky as quickly as possible.”

Mabel talked to the Demon hunter next to her for a few words to send him and others away and go support the Alchemists above.

After the Demon hunter left, Mabel pondered for a moment and said:

“Ray Lee, the identity you introduced earlier doesn’t match the strength you’re showing now. I think I know what’s going on, and it should have something to do with Denise Green, right?”

“You didn’t guess wrong, ma’am.” Noland took the conversation and replied calmly:

“Denise and I have a deep relationship, and you should know what that means. So most of the time, I will hide my true strength. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I won’t reveal my relationship with Denise.”

Mabel showed an “as I expected” expression and sighed lightly:

“No wonder Denise helped Philia when she was suffering from Mental Trauma. I was thinking at that time if it was because of you.”

Noland spread his hands and said:

“Please forgive me for hiding my strength and my relationship with Denise. We have to do this. Exposing the relationship would often provoke a lot of potential hostility. From the fact that both of us moved to such a remote place as Union City, you should know that we don’t like living on tenterhooks. In view of the fact that I helped you get out of the siege, I hope you can keep it a secret for me. Can you?”

“No problem. This is what I should do.” Mabel nodded in response.

“Thank you.” Noland called two dragonfly Machine Spirits, took off the Soul-absorbing crystals on their tails, and handed them over:

“Please accept this. They are the Spoils of War you and those Demon hunters deserve, and you can also treat them as my hush money.”

The Soul-absorbing crystals Noland shared with Mabel were not small crystals with a capacity of only 100 points of Soul Energy.

After he got a Large Absorbing Spirit Crystal from Denise, he used violence to destroy the crystal, successfully triggering Passive Deconstruction.

Therefore, each of the Soul-absorbing crystals on the tails of the Dragonfly Mechanos had a maximum capacity of 1000 points of Soul Energy.

Noland could forcibly take all the soul fragments for himself.

But well, not all interactions between wizards were about fighting and abusing power. There were also worldly concerns like accepting someone’s favors and relying on their help.

If someone dares to spread the word after taking Noland Lee’s shared soul fragments, they’d better not blame him for being ruthless.

Mabel naturally understood Noland’s intention.

She willingly accepted his shared Soul-absorbing crystals and repeatedly assured that she and the Demon hunters would not reveal their secrets.

Noland thanked Mabel for her cooperation with a smile and asked why she had brought the Demon hunters here and gotten trapped by the enemy.

The answer Mabel gave was within Noland’s expectations.

This local Magic Institution mentor had first learned of Gardner and Kevin’s deaths from her professor and then that the Pollution Zone had appeared in the depths of the Fissure Corridor from the Mass Star Tombs.

Under the combined influence of the two incidents, Mabel decided to lead the Demon hunters deep into the Black City to find the truth about the deaths of the two and the Pollution Zone.

On the way, Mabel came across Sheldon Archer and invited him to join the team.

Unfortunately, as a three-circled Death Series Combat Wizard, Sheldon had outstanding lethality among the entire team. As a result, he was targeted for ambush and focus attacks by the enemy.

Two minutes before Noland found Mabel, Sheldon unluckily died and became one of the Blood Sun Converters.

As Noland listened to Mabel recount the story, he operated the Dragonfly Mechanos to tidy up the battlefield.

When the Dragonfly Mechanos handed Fugidia’s relics to Noland, Mabel said:

“Ray Lee, I need to collect the relics of Fugidia, Gardner, Kevin, and Sheldon. I will send them back to the Ulnas Circle with the Magic Messenger and give them to their families.”

Noland handed the relics in his hand to Mabel.
