Chapter 526: 171. Leaving the table_3

Noland Lee leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Not long after arriving in Union City, he was about to leave. If this were happening to someone else, it would inevitably be seen as hasty. After all, many things were still unresolved, such as whether the Blood Sun Seal Descendants would be cleared by Comini, and whether other Sage Particles in the Unclaimed Corridor could be plundered, and so on.

But Noland felt that leaving Union City now was just right.

He never considered Union City a long-term residence. Especially after knowing that it was far away from the mainland and was a real grain of dust, he became more determined to leave Union City.

His Deconstruction technique could only maximize its value in a prosperous environment. In Union City, he dealt more with Alchemy than Magic. This situation was hard to change even with the help of a Professor because knowledge was costly.

After thinking about it, Noland believed that at this point in time, it was the wisest decision to disengage from the troubles of Alchemist Island, without waiting for everything to settle.

It was like playing poker at a Texas Hold’em table. His goal was not to keep winning and defeating everyone, but to not be greedy when making money, and leave the table in time.

Preserving the harvest was the most crucial thing.

“Denise, has Mabel talked to you about the next Magic Research Institute?” Noland asked, regaining his senses.

Denise touched her chin, thinking and said:

“Hmm… She did mention it. There are quite a few wizard forces competing for the next institute’s authority. Among them, the Death Branch of Hotams and the Soul Shaping Society of Soul Shaper Gilbert Winchester have a better chance. The Wizard Advancement Association is currently evaluating.”

“What about the next Magic Research Institute in Tatis? Are there any rumors?”

Previously, Elemental Judgement had cooperated with Morster. Elemental Judgement handed over the Wand core containing the Prince’s soul, and Morster provided information about Black City and a large amount of Extraordinary Trait: Vitality Surge to offset the difference.

At this time, Morster and his mother Adelaide were busy preparing for the resurrection ceremony of the distressed Prince Merton.

Simultaneously, it was the selection of the next Magic Research Institute by the Dusk Giants and the Emperor.

The Death Herald Guild had to leave without the Bone-mending Wand. This was partly the price they had to pay for their years of abuse on the Empire’s civilians.

The competition for the next Institute’s candidate was extremely fierce.

This was due to the scale and system of the Undead Cult.

Among the existing records of extraordinary phenomena, the Undead Cult was definitely the largest and most complete in its system. Even if it was in the most remote corner of the world, it couldn’t stop the enthusiasm of wizard forces to research it.

Denise sat on the chair and connected with the Professor, and then she began talking with Adelaide.

After a brief exchange, Denise brought the latest news.

“Adelaide says that the Dusk Giants have specifically said they don’t want to see the Pillar of Ley Lines wizards on the Empire’s land. The Dusk Giants particularly despise the Pillar of Ley Lines, saying that those who combine souls with earth insult the sanctity and purity of the earth. However, the Emperor loves the Pillar of Ley Lines. His reason is that the Earth Rock Magic of the Pillar of Ley Lines not only helps to destroy the Grave Vaults but also helps to rebuild the Suffering Borderland.”

Denise shrugged slightly:

“So, in the end, the Pillar of Ley Lines should be the next Magic Research Institute in Tatis.”

With a smile, Noland nodded slowly:

“Nice, nice, all within my control.”

Denise blinked, “Within your control?”

She suddenly realized:

“Oh~ I remember now. You told me about this. The more the Dusk Giants like a wizard force, the more they must show their dislike for that force in front of the Emperor. This was your advice to the Dusk Giants.”

“Yes, that’s correct.” Noland nodded calmly and stood up, clapping his hands:

“Alright, Denise. Go back and pack up your belongings. Tonight, under the cover of darkness, let’s stay at the Cat Society Manor for now. We’ll board the ship with them the day after tomorrow. Don’t leave anything behind, since we might never return to Union City once we leave.”

“Okay~” Denise stood up but didn’t hurry away:

“I’ll help you pack. I’ve already packed mine beforehand.”

Noland thought for a moment and didn’t refuse:

“Leave it to you. I’ll go and confirm the itinerary with Cindy again to avoid any mistakes in the rush.”

“Mmm, go ahead.” Denise took out a hairband, tied her hair up, and coiled it behind her head, putting on an air that she was ready for some serious work.

Seeing her full of energy, Noland smiled lightly and left the study room.
