Chapter 598: 192. New Chapter_3
Especially after learning from Selena that Noland Lee possessed the extraordinary trait “Omniscient”, Erica’s regard for him was taken to a higher level.
As a Ninth Circle Silent Witch, Erica was well aware of the power of “Omniscient.” As long as Noland Lee was given enough time to grow, he would surely become a famous Silent Enforcer in the realm of wizards.
Bearing this in mind, as long as Noland Lee’s demands were not excessive, there was room for negotiation, and Erica wouldn’t interfere too much with his decisions.
Noland Lee was also happy with this.
In fact, the current situation was the result of his careful management.
If he hadn’t pre-designed his own persona, accurately established it, and demonstrated the strength to support it, he would never have been able to enjoy success on both sides.
Even Morster, the acting commander of Division Intelligence Unit Two, was all smiles when he met Noland Lee, which was a prime example of how charisma couldn’t be replaced by hard power alone.
“The night before last, I used the scroll you gave me to break the magic protective cover of the small spirit pivot. We were lucky, as the ‘Vitality Surge’ inside the small spirit pivot had hardly been consumed.”
Morster sat on a single sofa, gesturing a few numbers while saying:
“We got about 3.6 cubic [units] of ‘Vitality Surge’. I found a reliable Division Intelligence Unit Three member to make life elixirs. There’s a total production of 36,050. After deducting the basic costs, there are 22,000 life elixirs available for sale. The number of elixirs in this batch is not much. But as long as there’s a sufficient supply of ‘Shield Dissolution Ray’ scrolls, I can guarantee a monthly production of no less than 400,000 elixirs.”
“As for supplying the magic scrolls, I’ll handle it.” Noland Lee pondered:
“Within a week, I will send a magic messenger with the magic scrolls needed for the next month to your mother. At the same time each month afterwards, I will deliver the magic scrolls needed for the upcoming month. As for the transportation of the life elixirs, discuss it with Kalandi. After I sign the soul contract with you, I will inform Kalandi and arrange for you to meet her as soon as possible.”
Morster thought for a moment and then nodded, saying:
“No problem, let’s do it as you say.”
Noland Lee grabbed a pen and paper with the [Mage’s Hand] from the table and began writing the soul contract.
Morster said on the side:
“The magic scroll you gave me caused quite a stir in the Intelligence Department 4.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Noland Lee’s tone was calm, as if he had anticipated this situation long ago.
Morster detected cunning from Noland Lee’s expression. He opened his mouth but eventually chose to remain silent.
However, Noland Lee continued writing the contract and asked:
“Has the plan for the Pillar of Ley Lines to enter Tatis changed?”
“No. The Pillar of Ley Lines still plans to formally enter Tatis in six months. However, to urge the Death Herald Guild to leave Tatis, several wizards from the Pillar of Ley Lines will arrive in Tatis ahead of time.” Morster said.
Noland Lee asked again:
“If the Death Herald Guild leaves, is there still a need for Division Intelligence Unit Two?”
“This involves internal Tatis affairs…” Morster hesitated for a moment and then spread his hands, saying:
“All I can say is, Division Intelligence Unit Two will still exist, and everything remains the same. But in six months, when the Pillar of Ley Lines takes over Tatis’s research tasks, I’ll have to return to the Ulnas Circle. By then, Division Intelligence Unit Two will be handed over to someone else.”
“Half a year… well, it doesn’t matter. A lot can happen in half a year.” Noland Lee marked the word “Half a year” on the contract as the expiration date.
The long-term deal between him and the other party was based on an unstable factor: the war between the underground fungi people and the Greyrock dwarves.
Noland Lee had inquired Erica about the situation of this war.
As she had said, the underground fungi people and the Greyrock dwarves were a combination of old and new enemies.
Both sides’ survival was based on the fertile subterranean soil, which was the root cause of their conflict.
Secondly, after making their first pot of gold by selling healing mushrooms, the underground fungi people planned to increase the production of healing mushrooms.
They purchased a large number of magic weapons for this purpose, and through a series of violent expansions, they drove the Greyrock Dwarves even further underground.
The production of Healing Mushrooms indeed increased, bringing down the price of healing products on the entire ground level market, but the hatred between the Underground Fungi People and the Greyrock Dwarves deepened as a result.
There were rumors that the desperate Greyrock Dwarves had turned to an ancient demon clan in the deep underground, gaining terrible Extraordinary Abilities. It was the power brought by this ancient demon clan that prompted the Greyrock Dwarves to launch a war to reclaim their territory and drive out the invaders.
Theoretically, Noland Lee had two options if he wanted to make more money with Life Elixir.
The first option was to increase the production of the Life Elixir, which required him to provide more “Shield Dissolution Ray” Magic Scrolls.
The second option was to let the war between the Underground Fungi People and the Greyrock Dwarves continue.
However, never be blinded by immediate benefits. Having lived two lives, Noland Lee was very clear about this.
The market gap for low-cost healing medicine was obvious to all.
Not only was Noland Lee eyeing the benefits in this market. Those ancient, wealthy, and strong wizard families and natural wizard forces were all watching the movement of the healing medicine market.
The reason they hadn’t taken any action was very simple.
The profits were too little, and it wasn’t worthwhile for them to enter the market now.
To be more precise, what they were after was not the low-cost healing medicine priced at 0.3 gold coins, but the land where the Underground Fungi People produced Healing Mushrooms.
That land was the real source of profits.
In comparison with the stable production of Healing Mushroom from the underground rock and soil layers, what could the transaction Noland Lee’s bridged be considered? It was nothing more than misshapen melons and split dates, naturally not attracting the attention of any powerful wizard forces.
Noland Lee spent some time drawing up a soul contract.
After checking it several times and confirming it to be accurate, Morster signed his name.
Noland Lee signed his name with a pen.
The soul contract was officially established.
Morster left the Silent Yard first.
Noland Lee went to talk to Erica about the situation and asked her to send a letter to Kalandi.
Having completed this step, Noland Lee’s work as a matchmaker was over.
Next, he only needed to do two things.
First, wait for Kalandi’s reply.
Second, get a Magic Messenger for himself or Denise Green.
In the foreseeable future, there would be many more transactions similar to the Life Elixir that were prompted by sudden events.
The Suman Archipelago, which was known as the Deep Sea Trade Transit Station, was not without a reputation.
In the Inner Circle of Islands on the outskirts of the Core Circle, there was a world-renowned trade city – the City of Suman.
It had the Magic Items Exchange with extremely low fees, and a trade center with rapid information circulation.
As long as one was willing to delve into the details, business opportunities could be found, and ultimately, without ever leaving home, wealth would pour in.
Before obtaining the “Strong Metal Fusion” Meditation Method, gold coins were merely external things to Noland Lee.
But now, gold coins were equal to Basic Attributes.
Ah, of course, on the premise that there were enough Energy Points.
