Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 738: 235. Sounds reasonable, right? _2

Noland Lee was unable to find out the exact details, after all, his “Deep Sea Scales Meditation” could only be cultivated to level 149.

Noland Lee called up the memory fragments of the seven sea monsters.

Due to the use of Passive Deconstruction that automatically applies Harmless Deconstruction, most of the memory fragments have been “harmonized” by the system due to their violent content or Mental Pollution.

There was one memory fragment that appeared in the Deconstruction Results of every Dread Sail Wizard.

Its content was critically important.

[Memory Name] Important Order from the Dark Scale Elder

[Type] Memory Fragment

[Integrity] 100%

[Summary]

This is an urgent order from the Elder of the Dark Scales in response to the distress call from the Burdensome Isle:

The Supreme Queen Isidora will hold a grand celebration in three months.

We need to prepare enough sacrifices to fulfill the requirements of the ceremony.

The sacrifices can be the following extraordinary beings:

1. Powerful Demonized Sea Beasts

2. Young Sea Giants

3. Mana-rich young female wizards

4. Mana-rich and tenderly-fleshed female merfolk

5. Mana-rich magic stones, ores, and underwater plants

All Dread Sail Wizards who receive this order must hand in at least three sacrifices within three months.

Otherwise, I will offer you as sacrifices to the queen.

(Various PUA words are omitted)

…

This order was not found in the memory fragments of the Tide Spy that Noland Lee killed today.

The orders must have been distributed to the Sea Monsters this afternoon.

Therefore, counting from today and extending out three months, a lot of maritime attacks will occur.

Considering the words in the order, “Mana-rich”, “tender-fleshed”, all crews or human bases that are attacked by Sea Monsters will have people who meet the sacrificial requirements captured, and those who do not meet the requirements slaughtered on the spot.

After discovering the order, Noland Lee immediately wrote an urgent message to Selena.

In this letter, Noland Lee recounted the order’s contents and asked Selena if such situations had occurred in the past and how she had dealt with them.

During his writing, Noland Lee mentioned “ceremony” and “sacrifices”, but did not mention “Dark Scale Elder” and “Queen Isidora”.

Because he was not yet clear about the meaning behind these terms and had not encountered them in Selena’s memory.

It seems that “Elder”, “Queen”, and such phrases probably refer to the secrets of Sea Monster society.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After the letter was written, Noland Lee blew the whistle to summon the messenger.

The Snow-winged Cat with white wings appeared on the desk out of thin air, Noland picked it up, sniffed it twice, and then asked about Denise Green’s situation.

The Snow-winged Cat rubbed its chin against Noland’s, meowing softly a few times like a pampered cat, seeming to suggest that everything was alright at home.

Noland also quickly wrote a letter to Denise, informing her that his sailing plans had changed and that he would be arriving at the Suman Archipelago soon.

After putting the letter in the mailbag, and rewarding the Snow-winged Cat with some delicious cat food, Noland watched as the satisfied cat, having gobbled up its food, disappeared into the “Messenger Plane”.

He sat at his desk and after waiting for about three minutes, as expected, he received a reply from Selena.

The content of the reply made Noland frown.

“Jarvis, I’ve received your letter. Perhaps you don’t know, since about three o’clock this afternoon, I have started receiving news from fleets, trade companies, offshore platforms, and marine magic farms. They have all been attacked by Sea Monsters. So far, a total of twenty offshore bases or fleets have been attacked.”

“The Sea Monsters’ rampages for the so-called ceremony usually occur once every 1-3 years. The last one happened two and a half years ago, which led to the closure of the trade routes between the Suman Archipelago and the other continents for half a year.”

“Hope this time we can get through safely.”

“Thank you for your intelligence. — Redface Selena :)”

As Noland read it through from beginning to end, when he reached the playful content at the end, he grimaced…

The good news was that the Deep Sea Branch had experience dealing with this type of situation.

The bad news was that the interval between this and the last ceremony was two and a half years, so the Sea Monsters might pull a big one this time, bringing misfortune to many people.

Perhaps the ocean trade route would be closed again for half a year.

The thoughts of Noland whirled in his mind, giving birth to several cunning strategies.

“I might need to use the ‘Oblivion Potion’ to de-level.”

Noland reached into his Magic Pouch and grasped hold of a thin-necked, long-necked glass vial.

This was the Oblivion Potion he had bought from Professor Erica, which could reset a skill from Level 100 to Level 1.

After Mind Beacon is converted to “Mind Tracking”, Noland would be able to control the Thunderclouds remotely, disregarding distance limitations.

This would allow him to stay at home in the Suman Archipelago, to attack Sea Monsters and Dread Sail Wizards hundreds of kilometers away.

The prerequisite is that the Thundercloud’s supply of energy keeps up, and the work of the Salvage-specific Mechanos to recover the Spoils of War and Soul Fragments also keeps up.

“The workload seems huge, I may need to design and make a kind of large capacity, long-lasting, highly speedy Salvage-specific Mechanos…”

As Noland was brainstorming how to modify the Mechanos in his mind, he heard Dewey Cooper’s voice coming from the pipe exit on the table:
