Chapter 674: 215. Witty and Funny Wiseman _3

Without hesitation, he brought up the “Skill List” and clicked on “Magic theft.” He erased the magical runes on the Magic Stones and Eve Mastin’s body.

With an energy conversion rate of 1:130, what’s the point of “Magic theft?” My brain must be messing with me…

But…

Upon further thought, there are some drawbacks to obtaining elemental energy through alchemy arrays.

Noland Lee crossed his arms, rubbed his chin, and thought at great speed.

When he used magic to obtain elemental energy, what he got were the very essence of elemental energy—the elemental energy spheres.

He could directly use the “Shaping Energy Technique” on these energy spheres to create energy spells.

However, the elemental energy he obtained using the alchemy array was stored within the array and not in an energy sphere.

In this situation, could he use magic to call upon the energy in the array other than through alchemy?

What about trying “Magic theft?”

No, no, no. The completeness of “Magic theft” is only 20%. Extracting 100 points of energy from the array would result in 80% dissipation, with only 20 points in hand.

This seriously affects the energy conversion ratio.

So, “Magic theft” can’t be used to extract energy from the array.

What if he tries to cast the “Shaping Energy Technique” directly on the alchemy array?

Noland Lee furrowed his brows and took a metal plate used for alchemy out of his magic pouch.

Using the rune staff and energy liquid produced in Union City, he engraved an alchemy array on the metal plate.

After transferring 1 soul strength point into the array, it lit up with a fiery red glow, indicating that it contained 130 points of fire elemental energy.

Noland Lee tried using the “Shaping Energy Technique,” but casting failed.

The system prompt said that the “Shaping Energy Technique” could not be launched on elemental energy inside the array.

Noland Lee violently destroyed the array pattern with the Rune Staff, trying to release the fire elemental energy inside.

But as the pattern broke, the elemental energy did not flow out and become energy spheres. It disappeared out of thin air.

Noland Lee put down the Rune Staff and leaned back in his chair.

He realized that he’d touched on the intersecting domain of two extraordinary forces, a domain he had never explored before and which seemed to be scarcely researched by others.

Wait, it hasn’t gone unstudied.

A light flashed in Noland Lee’s eyes as he thought of Mabel, the wealthy lady.

This lady had stayed in Union City for 10 years, and her knowledge of alchemy definitely surpassed his own. He should be able to get some answers by consulting her on such issues.

Noland Lee used [Mage’s Hand] to fetch pen and paper to write a letter to Mabel overnight.

He had a feeling that if he could find a way to extract elemental energy from the alchemy array, it would solve the problem of fueling the energy source for the elemental energy reactor.

If not a hundred percent, at least 30% of the problem would be solved.

Once the energy source problem was resolved, he’d only have to gather 70 million energy points to bet on the elemental energy reactor production plan provided by the system.

His current “Shaping Magic” level is 8, and the success rate for the elemental energy reactor production plan is 8%.

Considering that before crossing universes, he spent 300 pulls on a 5% chance UP pool and pulled off-kilter, he guessed he’d have to prepare between 3 billion and 10 billion energy points to successfully produce the elemental energy reactor.

As for how to convert the tremendous thunder and lightning energy supported by the elemental energy reactor into combat power…

Noland had some ideas, but he needed to bring the reactor into existence and verify it through extensive experiments before reaching a conclusion.

“Dear Miss Mabel, I hope all is well since we last met. I wonder if you’ve adapted to life after returning to Ulnas Circle… (omitting various polite remarks)… Lately, I’ve encountered a difficult problem in the overlapping realm of magic and alchemy…”

Noland took the ink pen and hurriedly wrote, accurately describing his problem.

Once the letter was finished, Noland blew on a whistle to summon the sleeping Snow-winged Cat downstairs to mail the letter.

The Snow-winged Cat nuzzled Noland’s hand affectionately and cleverly entered the “Messenger Plane” to mail the letter.

Noland Lee used “Mind View” to observe the scenes in the Inner Circle Houses.

The distance between his location and the Inner Circle Houses was 104 kilometers, within the limit of the “Mental Beacon.” He could just use the “Mental Beacon” and “Mind View” to see the situation there.

No matter whether anyone eventually stepped into the trap or not, Noland would always keep an eye on the Inner Circle Houses.

If someone did step into the trap, he would naturally get another windfall. If not, better to avoid making matters worse, and watch out for other forms of revenge.

Seeing no strangers’ shadows in the Inner Circle Houses yet, Noland extinguished the study room light and went to the bedroom for a good night’s sleep.
