Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 550: 177. Level Natives_3

“Hee~” Denise has a soft spot for sweets and started eating without any hesitation.

“By the way, Denise. Has Adelaide replied yet?” Noland Lee asked.

“Not yet. She said it would take at most two days to prepare the Life Elixir. Considering the time, Adelaide should send a message for Morster around tomorrow evening.” Denise spoke with syrup on her lips.

“Mm-hmm,” Noland Lee said:

“We indeed need to prepare a Magic Messenger ourselves. We’ve been using the Professor’s messenger quite a lot, which is a bit inappropriate. Have you ever been to the ‘Magic Messenger House’ opened by the ‘Magic News Department’?”

Denise stuck out her little tongue and said:

“I’ve visited it before. I spent 100 gold coins trying the Array to contract a Magic Messenger, but I couldn’t succeed. Those 100 gold coins made my heart ache for a long time…”

“Then I should find an opportunity to let you try the Array a few more times to make up for your regret.” Noland Lee joked.

‘Magic Messenger House’ is a shop selling Magic Messengers, directly operated by the ‘Magic News Department’.

There are also Magic Messengers raised by the Wizard Families in Ulnas Circle, and they too, have set up their Magic Messenger Shops.

Considering that using Magic Messengers for communication is private, most people would choose to buy Magic Messengers from the ‘Magic Messenger House’.

After paying 100 gold coins to the ‘Magic Messenger House,’ a Wizard can communicate with a Magic Messenger in the ‘Messenger Plane’ once inside the Array.

Wizards can specify a particular Magic Messenger to communicate with, or they can take their chances and communicate with a random one.

Noland Lee thought that buying a Magic Messenger was similar to “card drawing”…

You’re either extremely lucky, hitting it off with the Magic Messenger right away, entering the hall of master and servant.

Or you rely on spending gold coins, going all out with dozens or even hundreds of draws.

According to the data collated by the Magic News Department themselves, on average, you can contract a Magic Messenger after 313 communications with the ‘Messenger Plane,’ which corresponds to a hefty 31,300 gold coins investment.

Considering that Erica’s parrot seems to like him too, Noland Lee plans to try specifying communication with parrot-like Magic Messengers, and maybe it will work directly.

Of course, as promised, Noland Lee would help Denise fulfill her dream. It’s just a matter of spending one or two thousand gold coins and getting Denise to draw ten attempts or so, no big deal.

…

…

Later that afternoon, after the end of the afternoon’s competition, Noland Lee contacted Mabel using ‘Mind Induction,’ and they agreed to meet in her hotel suite.

Mabel, as the mentor of Elemental Judgement, couldn’t avoid socializing with others. She booked a duplex suite for herself. The living and resting areas were on the second floor, while meeting guests was on the first floor.

After using Deconstruction to check Mabel and her suite for safety, Noland Lee told her everything he had discovered with ‘Mind Induction.’

When she heard that one of the “gold coins” the Competition Manager gave to Noland Lee was suspicious, Mabel’s face changed noticeably.

She took out her Magic Pouch and placed the gold coins she got from the Competition Manager on the table, examining them one by one.

Noland Lee only mentioned that the “gold coin” was counterfeit and didn’t explicitly say anything about the “gold coin” being a tracker.

But just the fact that it was a “counterfeit gold coin” was enough to catch Mabel’s attention.

Anyone who counterfeits Ulnas gold coins would be listed as Sin Wizard Level criminals and enjoy the treatment of being transported by Wizard Enforcers through a Teleportation Gate.

Noland Lee scanned the gold coins on the table, casting a series of Deconstruction techniques and then focusing his eyes.

Among the gold coins Mabel got from the impostor Supervisor, there was also a tracker disguised as a gold coin!

[System Message:]

[You are about to use Deconstruction on the “Tracker Disguised as a Ulnas Gold Coin.”]

[You have already mastered the standardized panel of this item.]

[You only need to consume 1000 energy points to obtain personalized panel information for this item.]

“Confirm Deconstruction.” Noland Lee murmured in his heart.

The deconstruction result refreshed in his mind.

The difference between the standardized panel and the personalized panel mainly lies in the values of ‘Item Level’, ‘Basic Attributes’, and ‘Skill Level’.

For the tracker, its personalized difference content will also be reflected in the ultrasonic data it transmits.

The data transmitted by Noland Lee’s tracker is “Number 116-C-level native-waiting for capture.”

However, the data transmitted by Mabel’s tracker is:

“Number 003-A-level native full force capture.”

Noland Lee extended his right hand and tapped the fake “gold coin” with his fingertip.

Mabel understood and took out her magic wand, casting the Appraisal Technique.

A colorful light shot out from the tip of the wand, throwing a beam of light at the “gold coin”.

The “gold coin” showed no reaction.

But this was the most obvious reaction.

Because a normal Ulnas gold coin would emit an eye-catching golden color under the Appraisal Technique’s magical light.

Only things that cannot be identified by magic will have no reaction towards Appraisal Technique. This includes counterfeit gold coins.

A normal Wizard wouldn’t have the habit of casually examining the authenticity of gold coins. They would just check their gold coin stack periodically for any fakes mixed in.

Facing this counterfeit coin, Mabel snorted coldly in her heart, muttering things like “I should report this to Captain Berkeley.”

Noland Lee raised his hand, interrupting her muttering.

“Mabel, do you trust me?”

“Of course.”

“Then let me ask you a question.” Noland Lee said in his heart:

“Did Philia and Betty Davis get the gold coins given by the Barron Arena?”

“Yes.” Mabel recalled:

“The competition manager commissioned Philia and her teammates to perform Elemental Spells on stage after the round-robin matches ended. Many Wizards received similar invitations. The competition manager pre-paid a deposit for each person, which he personally delivered to the Wizards.”

After mulling it over, Noland Lee said:

“Do me a favor, Mabel, and bring the gold coins the competition manager gave to Philia and Betty Davis. We’ll identify them together.”

Mabel’s eyes widened, and a conjecture emerged in her mind:

“Do you suspect that everyone who received gold coins from the competition manager got a fake coin?”

“Yes. The specific situation still needs to be confirmed after identification.” Noland Lee nodded in response.

Mabel hesitated no more. She stood up, left her suite, and found Philia and Betty Davis who were staying next door.

After a little while, Mabel returned and placed two stacks of gold coins in front of Noland Lee.

Noland Lee used Deconstruction Technique to scan them.

As expected, both Philia and Betty Davis each had a tracker.

Two Deconstruction Techniques were cast, and Noland Lee obtained the panel information of these two trackers at the cost of 2000 energy points.

The data of Philia’s tracker is:

“Number 033-F-level native- No value target, exterminate on site.”

The data of Betty Davis’s tracker is:

“Number 034-F-level native- No value target, exterminate on site.”
