Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 532: 172. Shipboard Town (2 in 1)_6

“Have you discussed with the Tatis Empire about purchasing batches of the Life Elixir?”

The Lady Boss rolled her eyes at the ceiling and commented,

“Oh, my dear guest, of course we’ve made contact with Tatis, but we haven’t been able to reach any deal. The people of Tatis Empire are all single-minded and they completely ignore us, always going on about things such as ‘we despise magic’ and ‘wizards are disgusting’. I have no idea what they’re going on about. We took bags full of gold to them and all we got were contemptuous looks and ridicule. Have a seat, both of you. You’ve brought your Life Elixirs, yes? I have plenty of cash here.”

Noland Lee and Denise Green took their seats.

Denise naturally took out a suitcase and placed it on the table.

Noland then started a conversation with the lady boss:

“I heard that the Tatis Empire has accepted the proposal of the Wizard Advancement Association and is selecting the next Magic Research Institute. After the Death Herald Guild’s departure, the Pillar of Ley Lines might take over the Undead Cult’s research task.”

A subtle glint passed through the lady boss’s eyes, demonstrating her understanding of the deeper meaning in Noland’s remarks:

“It seems like you’re quite knowledgeable about the affairs of Tatis? Ah… your eyes are ice blue, clear and luminous like a crystalline blue diamond. I’ve seen such eye colours in the negotiation team sent by Tatis.”

Noland nodded slightly:

“Yes, madam, I am from Tatis and I have some friends there. Let me guess, the Empire People who came to negotiate with you were probably a team composed of military officers from Division Intelligence Unit Two, Three, Four, and some representatives of the Empire’s enterprises. Without your introduction, I know already that those who say ‘Wizards are trouble’ are from Division Intelligence Unit Two. Division Three has a neutral stance on the sale of Life Elixirs. Division Four really wanted to strike this deal, but they were overshadowed by Division Two. As for the Empire’s representatives, honestly, they do not produce Life Elixirs; they are just responsible for dealing with the transportation of the potions.”

“Yes, that’s right…” The Lady Boss nodded repeatedly.

The real situation was almost the same as what Noland described. Tatis is an isolated place, and the Death Herald Guild has never allowed wandering wizards to reside there. This has resulted in all the wizard forces, including this lady boss, having limited knowledge of Tatis.

It can be said that the vast majority of wizards, including this lady boss, cannot differentiate between the functions of Division Intelligence Unit Two, Three, Four due to insufficient information.

Now that Noland labelled the Division Intelligence personnel, the lady boss was quickly able to match the labels Noland gave with the actual people.

“I’ve thought about it carefully, and the situation at the site was exactly as you described.” After pondering for a few seconds, the lady boss clapped her hands softly, lowered her voice, and said,

“Can you help me get more Life Elixirs? Price is certainly negotiable. If possible, I want to buy out your supply channel for Life Elixirs. I can make decisions regarding this matter.”

“I’ll have to discuss this with my friends from the Empire first. As you understand, those stubborn heads need me to drill a hole in their foreheads before I can pour what I want to say into their minds.”

Noland patted the suitcase on the table:

“Let’s handle these Life Elixirs first. I’ll give you a response within three days, madam.”

“No problem.” the lady boss said while laughing heartily.

She took out her branch wand and drew a few circles in the air.

The circles transformed into a column of light that suspended the suitcases, and they opened in half.

These suitcases were alchemical products with folded space, where the Life Elixirs inside were compressed to the size of a grain of rice.

The column of light released by the lady boss’s wand scanned over the contents of each suitcase, quickly completing the identification and tallying process.

She happily took out 26,000 gold coins and handed them to Noland. Of these, 25,500 gold coins were the payment for the goods, and the extra 500 gold coins were for Noland’s expenses in contacting his Empire friends.

Noland gratefully accepted the gold coins and handed them to Denise Green for safekeeping.

“By the way, we’ve been so busy doing business that we haven’t formally introduced ourselves,” the lady boss said as she reached out her hand to shake with Noland:

“I am Kalandi, a seventh-ring nature witch from Hotams Nature Institute. I like to research magic potions. If you need magic elixirs or magical herbs, I’m the one to look for.”

“I am Jarvis, madam, I am honored to meet you.” Noland Lee pointed to the witch beside him:

“This is Denise Green, my companion witch. Therefore, I don’t need to introduce my wizard forces. You should understand what I mean.”

Kalandi had a gracious smile and waved her hand:

“No problem, I don’t mind. As a contractor, if your secrets are found, it’s easy to be targeted for your companion witch. I understand. I have to remind you of something, don’t blame me for being nosy…”

Kalandi paused and said:

“Among the passengers on this ship, there are many grey wizards who have not joined the Ulnas Circle, and there is even an arena run by grey wizards. According to Law No. 1 of the Ulnas Circle, you can refuse to challenge a Ulnas Circle wizard when your strength is weaker than theirs. However, those grey wizards are not members of the Ulnas Circle; they are not bound by Law No. 1. They may find ways to provoke you, ask you to go to the arena to fight, and there will be betting odds. Be careful, don’t fall for their tricks. If things get tricky, be sure to ask for help from the Captain’s magical servant. There’s no shame in that.”

Thanks to Kalandi’s reminder, Noland Lee remembered this.

There are many people in this world who can’t stand others being better than them.

For these kind of people, defeating him, Noland Lee, and then humiliating him severely may not led Denise Green to leave him in despair, but it would definitely vent their resentment of “the resurrection witch being occupied by someone who is inferior to them”.

If there are many grey wizards on this ship who have nothing better to do, then he would be busy dealing with challenges…

Noland Lee frowned slightly, but the next second, a peculiar look emerged in his eyes.

“Thank you, madam. Thank you for your reminder.”

Noland Lee said goodbye to Kalandi, and took Denise Green out of the shop.

Standing in the street, looking at the bustling crowd, Noland Lee had a brilliant idea.

“Denise Green, let’s go around to the tailor’s and then find a crowded place to rest. While you rest, contact Adelaide Carter and Morster and ask them if they are willing to provide Life Elixir.”

“Alright.” Denise Green nodded obediently, then tilted her head slightly and asked doubtfully:

“Why choose a crowded place? Didn’t Miss Kalandi just mention… that if people realise we are in a companion contract relationship, we may encounter trouble…”

“Don’t worry.” Noland Lee gently brushed the back of her hand, smiling assuredly:

“Just stay comfortably by my side. If someone challenges, I will handle it.”

Denise Green didn’t really understand but she did not ask any other questions. She reached out to hold Noland Lee’s hands, and reminded him softly:

“Then you should be careful. Whether you win or lose the duel, it will not affect our contract.”

“Yes, I know.”

Noland Lee noticed the stray glances coming from the corner of the street. It didn’t take long for a grey wizard to take notice.

A beautiful companion witch is indeed a hot cake…

Come on, grey wizards. The more you come, the more energy points I can earn. I can try applying the knowledge I learned about magical control in the last few days.

Hehehe~
