I wonder what their criteria for dividing criminals is…

Betty continued reading in comparison to the notebook:

“The mentor has reported Samuelson’s presence in Union City to the Wizard Enforcement Department. It is estimated that the Wizard Enforcers will arrive here in about three months.”

“Three months later? Aren’t the Wizard Enforcers afraid that Samuelson will escape?” Noland Lee asked.

Betty drummed her cheeks, her little face slightly frowning, looking somewhat helpless:

“This is inevitable, Noland. The Golden Federation is too far from the Ulnas Circle, and there are no Wizard Enforcers stationed within the Federation territory. The Law Enforcement Department can only contact the Enforcer closest to us and ask them to come here as soon as possible after completing their current task. Moreover, an Inferior Mage Level criminal is not worth the

Enforcer opening a Teleportation Gate. In any case, we can only wait patiently.” Noland Lee shook his head slightly and sighed:Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“If Samuelson leaves Union City in these few months, the Wizard Enforcers will have made a wasted trip.”

Betty pointed with her index finger at the pages of her notebook, reading word by word:

“Yes, you are right. Therefore, the Law Enforcement Department has arranged a task for us Elemental Judgement, Noland. They asked us to assist the

Enforcers in monitoring Samuelson. It would be best if we could capture Samuelson and lock him up in a cage before the Enforcer arrives in Union City.”

“What is the opinion of your Elemental Judgement?” Noland Lee asked.

Betty said worriedly:

“The Mentor accepted this task of assisting in the capture of the criminal. Because no one knows what conspiracy Samuelson is plotting. If he causes chaos in Union City, that would be troublesome.

“The Alchemy Cathedral has never really liked our Magic Research Institutes. If we don’t take the initiative to capture the Wizard Criminal, the Alchemy Cathedral will definitely be dissatisfied with us. They may even try to drive us out of Union City.

“If that happens, the Elemental Judgement will be forced to terminate the Research Task issued by the Wizard Advancement Association. As soon as we leave, a new Magic Institution will move in.”

Noland raised his eyebrows, “A new Magic Institution stationed in Union City? What do you mean, Betty? I don’t quite understand the operation of the Wizard Advancement Association, would you mind explaining?”

“Well…” Betty thought while pinching her chin:

“I am not quite sure about the specifics either. I heard it from Sister Philia.

“She said that for every country with a national-level exceptional phenomenon, the Wizard Advancement Association would tailor a series of Research Tasks around that phenomenon. This includes the question of who will study the exceptional phenomenon.

“Take the Golden Federation, for example. Aberrations have appeared here.

About 10 years ago, our Elemental Judgement competed with the Wizard Advancement Association for the opportunity to research Aberrations. We are the only ones eligible to be stationed in the Golden Federation.

“Since 10 years ago, we have set up a First Level Magic Research Institute affiliated with the Wizard Advancement Association in the only place in the Golden Federation where Aberrations have been found. That’s why there’s an

Elemental Judgement in Union City.”

Betty held up her index and shook it, saving

“If we are expelled by the Alchemy Cathedral, we can only leave the Golden Federation by force. The research on Aberrations will thus fail.

“But then, the Wizard Advancement Association will recruit new wizard forces to study Aberrations and establish new First Level Magic Research Institutions in Union City.

“As for which wizard force will undertake this research task at that time, that will be up to the Wizard Advancement Association. We, Elemental Judgement, have no say in the matter. Moreover, we can’t apply to research Aberrations again. It’s a rule laid down by the Wizard Advancement Association.”

“So that’s how it is…” Noland Lee pondered for a second and then asked:

“What plans does your mentor have?”

“She wants to invite all the wizards in the city to the Manor for a discussion on capturing Samuelson.”

Betty took an invitation from the notebook and handed it to Noland Lee:

“Here, this is it. The discussion meeting is tonight. If you want to participate, you can stay at the Manor until the meeting begins.”

Noland Lee took the invitation, on which was a handwritten invitation letter.

The meaning of the letter was similar to what Betty had said orally, with an additional commitment related to remuneration.

As long as they assisted Elemental Judgement in capturing Samuelson, every wizard participating in the capture would receive a bounty and material rewards according to their contribution.

Noland Lee noticed that the font on this invitation letter was not Philia’s.

On the night he first met Philia, Noland Lee got a handwritten note from her.

The characters on the note were different from those on the invitation letter. Philia’s writing was more elegant, while the writing on the invitation letter was more stable and restrained.

This invitation letter should have been written by the mentor of Philia and Betty.

Noland’s heart stirred, and he aimed at the writing and launched the Deconstruction Technique.

[System Message: ]

[It is estimated that it will consume 1 point of energy and can reach a 100% degree of deconstruction.]

[Do you confirm to proceed with the deconstruction?] “Confirm.” Noland Lee paid the 1 point of energy happily.

[Deconstruction Success!]

“Stop!”
