Chapter 492: 161. “Sacred Position Achievement”

“Knock knock knock…”

Mabel was checking the suitcases one by one when someone knocked on the door to her study.

She glanced at the direction of the door, thought for half a second, and waved her arm.

The suitcases and the alchemy weaponry list on the table flew into the hidden chamber connected to the study.

Noland Lee nodded secretly, feeling that Mabel’s thoughts were meticulous.

If the people outside were to see so many suitcases on the table, it would undoubtedly attract curious inquiries. Mabel put the suitcases and the list into the hidden chamber to eliminate any disturbances to her and Noland Lee’s deal.

“Come in, Betty Davis.”

Mabel spoke towards the door.

Curly orange-haired Betty Davis pushed the door open. Her little face was as clever and playful as ever.

As soon as she entered the room, she looked in amazement at Noland Lee, who was sitting opposite her teacher.

Her eyes blinked a few times, seeming to ask Noland Lee why he was there.

“What’s the matter, Betty? Is there something you need?” Mabel asked.

“Ah, yes, I have something to ask you.” Betty’s brow furrowed as she looked at Mabel behind the desk and said:

“You asked me to deliver a reward to Nikcat, right? I went, but I didn’t see him. I asked his housekeeper, and he went into the Fissure Corridor from the moment the Pollution Zone appeared. But strangely, he didn’t come back after the Pollution Zone was closed. I also went to inquire with the Bionic Skeleton Association that Nikcat was collaborating with, and they didn’t see him either.”

Betty scratched her head:

“Teacher, do you think Nikcat might have met with some trouble in the Pollution Zone too?”

In trouble…Noland Lee’s thoughts flickered.

He suddenly remembered something.

The last time he saw Nikcat, the man was being chased by the fake Fugidia.

After that, he never saw Nikcat’s figure again.

Noland Lee pulled up the memory fragments obtained through Passive Deconstruction to take a look.

Since the System had rendered the memory fragments of the “Fake Fugidia” harmless, Noland Lee could only see disjointed scenes of the chase.

From these memories alone, it seemed that the fake Fugidia eventually lost track of Nikcat. It then turned, under the command of the Blood Sun Seal Descendants, to intercept Mabel near the Black City.

That’s strange.

If Nikcat didn’t die at the hands of the fake Fugidia, where did he go?

Not only Noland Lee didn’t know the answer, but the other two in the study also didn’t know.

After considering it, Mabel shook her head and said:

“Nikcat should be fine. Otherwise, the Tomb King would have come looking for him by now. Forget it, let him be. Give me the reward, and he’ll come to claim it himself.”

“Alright, Teacher.” Betty took out a metal box and put it on the table, then glanced curiously at Noland Lee before leaving.

Noland Lee maintained a faint smile throughout, and Betty naturally couldn’t tell anything from his appearance.

Once Betty left the study, the room quieted down.

“Ray Lee, come with me to the hidden chamber. It’s not very convenient to talk here.”

Mabel stood up and led Noland Lee into the hidden chamber.

In the study, a magic servant held a sign and stood in the center of the room. The sign faced the study door and read, “I am conducting a magic experiment. If you have something to say, please wait until later.”

Thus, any wizard students who came to visit would be turned away.

The hidden chamber connected to the study had no windows.

Several magic lamps emitting soft light were on the walls of the room.

In the less than 30-square-meter room, a layer of extremely soft dark red carpet covered the floor.

Besides comfortable chairs and a reception table, there wasn’t any more furniture.

Mabel spent about half an hour checking all the alchemy weapons in the eight suitcases.

During the inspection, a magic pen beside her recorded the damage level and value of each alchemy weapon.

Finally, a detailed price list was handed to Noland Lee.

A total of 1,227 broken alchemy weapons were eventually sold for about 25,000 gold coins.

25,000!

About one-sixth of the budget for the island project has been earned in one go!

When Noland Lee informed Denise Green of this news using Soul Perception, her excitement almost resulted in him blowing his cover in front of Mabel.

Fortunately, Noland Lee had always had a strong psychological quality.

He maintained the mysterious and inscrutable image of a male wizard in front of Mabel.

In the transaction, one side gave the money while the other side gave the goods.

Mabel temporarily left the hidden chamber to get large Ulnas Gold Coins from the underground treasure vault.

Two Ulnas Gold Coins with a denomination of 10,000 and five Ulnas Gold Coins with a denomination of 1,000, along with some change in denominations of 100, 10, and 1 gold coins, made up the payment for Noland Lee’s sales of alchemy weapons.

After repeatedly urging Denise not to show her laughter on her face, Noland Lee finally allowed her to teleport and take away the gold coins Mabel had given.

Noland Lee was confident with the money in Denise’s hands.

Feeling Noland Lee’s trust in her, Denise excitedly promised in Soul Perception that she would definitely keep the gold coins safe.

“Alright, Denise, I need to discuss other matters with Mabel.” Noland Lee said in his heart.

“Mmm!” Denise obediently and proactively severed Soul Perception.

Noland Lee looked at Mabel, who was staring at him, adjusted his sitting position, and said:

“Madame, let’s get to the point. As I mentioned earlier, I would like to cooperate with you in the Realm of Knowledge. You contribute gold coins, and I contribute knowledge. Transactions are done on the spot, with no credit or regrets allowed. Before formally starting this transaction, we must first sign a soul contract.”
