Chapter 529: 172. Shipboard Town (2 in 1)_3

On the issue of renting the hotel room, Noland Lee did not hesitate much.

A hotel suite with two bedrooms and a living room is enough to solve the problem.

After all, when they purchase an island in the future, they won’t be building two separate houses on it.

Furthermore, their relationship is not that stiff and distant, so some things still need to be faced. It’s not too late to adapt starting from now.

Noland Lee brought Denise Green into the hotel suite on the fifth floor. After he entrusted her with arranging the room, he entered his bedroom.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes wandered through the pale green barrier of the magical dome and gazed at the magnificent sea where the sky meets the ocean. The magic ship was caressed by the sea breeze and the waves rolled. The air on the magic ship was fresh, with no sense of the waves on the sea surface.

Has mankind conquered the ocean with the power of magic?

No, they haven’t.

On this planet, only 20% is land, and the rest is the ocean. Just considering the ratio of sea to land, marine life and sea people are the main constituents of this planet, and terrestrial life is just a “minority.”

Imagine this.

Human ships sailing on the sea surface are like unidentified flying objects appearing in the “sky” of seafaring life. For humans, when an unidentified flying object appears in the sky, they will definitely try every means to bring it down and investigate.

The sea people think the same way.

As extraordinary species living at the bottom of the sea, the complex biological group of sea people, composed of fish people, sea monsters, sea giants, merfolk, have always been curious about the “unknown objects flying over their heads.” Many sea species even harbor desires to destroy these “unidentified flying objects.”

It may seem calm in the nearshore waters, but once you enter the open sea and deep sea, the Lost Sea Fog becomes an excellent tool for sea people to hunt ships.

If the Lost Sea Fog did not exist, ships could just sail at full speed through the dangerous sea area occupied by the sea people.

But now, a little carelessness can trigger the Lost Sea Fog. With just a little trick from the sea people, the fog can trap the ship in place.

It is because of the existence of the Lost Sea Fog that the oceans of this world, especially the deep sea far away from the mainland, become forbidden zones for most land creatures.

However, Noland does not need to worry about safety.

The Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage and the captain will handle everything. His high-profile change in the architectural style of the shipboard town is to show off his strength and reassure passengers completely. Only then will the passengers on the ship be willing to spend money and have fun without worry.

Noland, facing the sea, pulled up a chair, plopped down, and entered the Court of Silence.

Professor Erica has arranged his class schedule well. Noland has 2 to 8 class periods each day, each class period lasting 40 minutes.

In teaching, Erica adopted the general education plan of the Ulnas Circle. Wizard apprentices, first-level wizards, and second-ring wizards study magic generalist courses that do not involve complicated magic experiments.

The magic generalist courses include the History of the Ulnas Ring, the Path of the Wizard, which introduces all known wizard factions and branches, the Fundamentals of Magic, which elaborates on magic principles and various extraordinary traits, and the Extensive Catalog of Magic Patterns and Magic Materials (all five volumes) – this set of books is ten centimeters thick, enough to make each wizard student recite it back and forth.

Noland has previously shown his talent for self-learning magic. With this psychological foundation, he unabashedly displayed his amazing memory in front of Erica.

After only six class periods, he had memorized all apprentice-level textbooks and even passed the standardized wizard level test, becoming a first-level wizard.

While marvelling at his accomplishment, Erica realized that she needed to change her teaching approach. Letting Noland take classes with ordinary wizard students would only delay his learning process.

Erica simply set aside a small classroom with books for Noland to use at the first-level wizard level.

When Noland entered the Court of Silence, he appeared directly in this small classroom.

Dark wood showcased elegant textures, a large wooden desk, a bookshelf filled with locked magic books, magical chalk writing today’s self-study courses and daily quizzes on the blackboard, while the tranquil indigo forest filled the view outside the window.

Noland sat down next to the desk and fetched a book from the shelf using the [Mage’s Hand] spell learned a few days ago.

“Let me see, what are today’s self-study courses…” Noland squinted at the blackboard, his eyes falling on the words written by the magical chalk.

“Magic Control and Energy Perception, page 233 to the last page, and all quizzes must be completed.”

Noland nodded slowly.

With the Deconstruction technique, Noland easily memorized the knowledge in the book of “Magic Control and Energy Perception,” but he is still a long way from mastering it.

Just as remembering the Forging Body Movement doesn’t mean one can practice it successfully all at once, Noland’s magic manipulation ability and energy perception ability can be described as crude.

His magical power is indeed great, but that is based on the premise of an abnormally high skill level.

When he cast Death Two Finger, it seemed fierce, and the violent black lightning slithered like a giant python.

But in reality…

If a wizard skilled in magic manipulation were to cast Death Two Finger, it would produce two straight black lasers.
