Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 497: 162. Instilling knowledge_3

Magic relics are fraught with dangerous magic traps, and guarded by deadly extraordinary creatures. Not to mention lost sub-dimensional planes, the randomness of opening and closing their entrances alone is enough to deter most wizards. No one knows whether the entrance to the sub-dimensional plane will close immediately after they enter, and it may not open again for decades or even centuries.

The act of Noland Lee’s knowledge trade, to a large extent, is similar to directly placing the treasures of magic relics and sub-dimensional planes in front of Mabel.

Using magic relics and sub-dimensional planes as the sources of unknown knowledge is enough to launder these pieces of knowledge.

This is the common knowledge in the Realm of Wizards that Noland Lee learned from Denise Green. Denise herself never did this, but during her stay in the Ulnas Circle, she had heard about many such deeds.

Most magic relics and sub-dimensional spaces, whose specific positions and opening times cannot be observed, are hard to be traced by the Wizard Enforcers when used for laundering knowledge. Therefore, the Wizard Enforcement Department of the Ulnas Circle turns a blind eye to it, pretending not to know about it.

When Noland Lee learned about these practices, he asked Denise a question:

If exploring magic relics and sub-dimensional planes could yield knowledge of other fields, why do the knowledge barriers still exist among different fields?

The answer is straightforward.

Magic relics are “relics” because they are destroyed. Either destroyed by hostile wizard forces or by extraterrestrial space pollution. No matter what external force destroyed the predecessor of the magic relic, it means that the magic treasure inside the relic is ragged and may even be contaminated with ineradicable extraterrestrial space pollution.

The situation in the lost sub-dimensional planes is similar.

Initially, Noland Lee thought that the magic treasure brought out from the magic relics would be an old but complete magic book. In fact, it would be a few dirty papers barely surviving from attacks such as electric shocks, fires, water immersion, acid erosion, etc. It is challenging to garner a systematic magic knowledge based merely on these waste papers.

It is this point that slows down the speed of knowledge flow across fields.

Of course, under extremely lucky circumstances, it is still possible to bring out relatively complete magic devices and knowledge from magic relics and sub-dimensional planes.

Mabel can use her luck as an excuse to launder the knowledge and equipment she bought from Noland Lee.

－–It is probably because many people have done so, hence the rumors in the Realm of Wizards about a large number of people reaping full profits from magic relics.

Regardless of the truth, nothing can hinder the completion of this transaction.

Noland Lee reviews the knowledge in his mind and finds some content that meets Mabel’s needs.

He picks the most fitting one and describes it to Mabel:

“It’s like this, Mabel. The magic device I’m about to sell you can transform mindless wraith spirits into spectral ghosts with action logic, so you can turn them into magic puppets through spirit branding. I will now teach you the knowledge required to manipulate this magic device. As for the magic device, I will contact you after you reach the task location, and we will discuss how to build this set of devices and how to make it appear in front of the wizard students. Do you think my arrangement is acceptable?”

“Acceptable! I am very satisfied,” Mabel whispered joyfully in a low voice.

She folded her hands in front of her and a smile spread across her face:

“Let’s do as you say. How much gold do you think I should pay?”

“Well…” Noland Lee pondered:

“The magic device I am about to sell you is very valuable as it includes a complete death class array. If you are willing to research, you can infer other related arrays from this. The process of developing these derivative arrays is also a process of self-studying death-type magic knowledge. You will gain a lot of additional knowledge from this magic device. Do you think I’m right?”

“Yes, I agree with your view.” Mabel nodded repeatedly.

As a witch having been “in the profession” for many years, her strength, reaching up to the sixth ring, is the best proof of her vast magic experience.

She is very clear about how important the device Noland Lee is selling is.

The finished magic device is not just a simple device, but rather, it is more like a magic device template that can be copied exactly. Within its given framework, adjusting parameters inside the device, and placing the right magic materials, can develop new uses of the device.

This research process cannot be separated from Mabel’s own investment and efforts, but the key still lies in the magic device offered by Noland Lee.

“Let’s do this, Mabel. Let’s settle the payment in three stages.

“First, you pay a down payment of 50,000 gold coins, which is the average price for buying a high-level magic ring in the Ulnas Circle. I will now teach you the instruction manual for the death-type magic device.

“Second, when you reach your next research task location, I will come to you and build this magic device for you. You will bear the cost of the materials for the magic device, besides, you also need to pay me 100,000 gold coins as my labor fee.

“Lastly, when the magic device is working correctly, you need to pay 350,000 gold coins on the spot as final payment.

“Altogether, you need to pay 500,000 gold coins for the magic device and knowledge. Do you think this arrangement is acceptable?”
