Unless he completely abandoned his identity as a living being and joined the ranks of the Lost Souls, he couldn’t avoid this problem.

The good news was that Noland Lee’s “vitality” was higher than that of an ordinary Death Clan Wizard, so perhaps he could resist the erosion of the death energy on himself.

How effective it would be was still unknown, and Noland Lee would have to try it out when he had the opportunity.

“I’ll take this one, Betty.”

“Alright-Then, I’ll also pay you 1.1 million Union Coins to make up the difference.”

Betty reached into her pocket and took out a coin card issued by the Golden Commerce Guild with a face value of 1.1 million Union Coins.

When Noland Lee and the Iron Thorn Shield settled their task rewards, they also received an unnamed coin card. This alchemy card for large amounts of cash can be exchanged for cash unconditionally in the Golden Commerce Guild, making it ideal for large transactions.

Noland Lee shoved the coin card into his pocket and then asked: “Betty, if I want to make a magic wand, can I rent your Magic Laboratory?

“Yes, you can. We also have materials to make magic wands here, do you need them?”

“Yes.” Noland Lee nodded.

“Then, after tonight’s discussion meeting, I’ll take you to the Magic Laboratory later or tomorrow.”

Betty flipped through a few pages of her notebook and then slapped her forehead, saying:

“…Uh, Noland Lee. I forgot to remind you, although the Death Herald Guild is a First-Level Magic Research Institute in the Tatis Empire, they have also sent two people to be stationed in Union City for a long time. If you choose this standard mage robe, you better be careful not to reveal it in front of those two. Otherwise, it will cause trouble.”

“Do you allow members of other magic institutions to be stationed here?” Noland Lee was somewhat surprised.

Betty touched her chin and said:

“Yes, it’s necessary. It’s the rule of the Wizard Advancement Association. In each First-Level Magic Research Institution, there will be observers from other wizard forces.

“Generally, different magic institutions from the same region will send people to observe each other’s research tasks.

“Here is Alchemist Island, and there are only two countries, the Tatis Empire, and the Golden Federation. The corresponding two First-Level Magic Research Institutions are the Elemental Judgement and the Death Herald Guild.

“We have members from the Death Herald Guild here, and they also have our observers over there.

“If the Death Herald Guild’s people cause trouble here, the Wizard

Advancement Association will punish the Death Herald Guild directly.”

So there’s that… It seems that there are more than just Death Herald Guild Wizards in the Tatis Empire.

“Will the Death Herald Guild’s wizards be present at tonight’s discussion meeting?” Noland Lee asked.

“Well… they probably will. Not only will they attend the discussion meeting, but there should also be several wandering wizards from other branches of the

Death Clan.”

Noland Lee caught the implication:

“Do you mean that all the wandering wizards in Union City are Death Clan Wizards?”

“Yes, that’s right. It has always been this way. The wizards who come and go are all Death Clan Wizards. The Death Herald Guild doesn’t allow wandering wizards to enter Tatis or study the Undead Cult in the Suffering Borderland. So they have no choice but to stay temporarily in Union City, which is the closest to the Suffering Borderland.”

Betty was walking and talking, guiding Noland Lee to leave the treasure room and head to the Visitor’s Lounge for rest.

Noland Lee specifically asked Betty for a resting room with a view of the Manor Gate.

He planned to observe the wizards invited to participate in the discussion meeting before it started.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

By slightly consuming some energy points, and learning about the backgrounds of the wizards and combining it with his own intelligence, it would be much easier for him to deal with the meeting later.

After dinner, Noland Lee sat down in the Resting Room.

He went to the window, covered most of his body with curtains, and looked through the gap in the curtain towards the Manor Gate.

A black steam locomotive drove into the gate and stopped in front of the castle’s main building.

Two tall and thin middle-aged men stepped out of the car, wearing black windbreakers, black ties, black gloves, and black top hats atop their heads.

Noland Lee recognized their identities at a glance:

Death Herald Guild Wizards.

The feedback from Deconstruction showed that both had Second Ring abilities.

Noland Lee consumed 200 energy points, 100 points per person, to get a part of their recent memories and a small portion of their personalized panel information.

Before Noland Lee had a chance to carefully examine the deconstruction results, three more steam locomotives arrived.

Three vehicles had one woman, one woman, and one man come down from them, respectively.

From their awkward greetings, it was evident that the people in these three cars were from different wizard forces.

Noland Lee cast three Deconstructions as usual and spent 100 energy points per person.

In the following time, another steam locomotive arrived. The person who came down from the car was a short and thin man.

Noland Lee patiently waited for Betty to come and lead him to the meeting place.

He called up the deconstruction results in his mind and quickly read through them.

“The Death Notice Guild Wizards, two of them, Sawyer and Parker, are both Second-Ring Wizards. The memory fragments I’ve deconstructed show that they discussed whether or not to participate in chasing Samuelson before the meeting.

“They unanimously decided not to participate.

“The missing Bone-mending Wand which was supposed to return to the Tatis Empire through the Fission Wilderness is what they were after. They were all focused on finding the Bone-mending Wand and the missing Greenshaw and didn’t have time to deal with the Elemental Judgement.

“There are two theories within the Death Herald Guild.

“The first is that Greenshaw died due to forcibly using the Bone-mending Wand and that the wand fell into the hands of the Imperial Army.

“The second is that the Elemental Judgement captured Greenshaw and seized the Bone-mending Wand.

“As the Death Herald Guild, which is supposed to be an observer on the Elemental Judgement, only its members are allowed to appear in the Golden Federation according to the rules of the Wizard Advancement Association. Greenshaw is not an observer sent by the Death Herald Guild, and his entry into the Altered Wilderness is an act explicitly prohibited by the wizards’ law. The Elemental Judgement has the right to arrest him.

“These two think that the Elemental Judgement might use the Bone-mending

Wand and Greenshaw as bargaining chips to force them to join the hunt for Samuelson.”

Noland Lee blinked, not expecting to learn about the Bone-mending Wand again…

And the matter was not unrelated to him.

“It seems that my killing of Greenshaw has caused a lot of headaches for the Death Herald Guild.

“I wonder if these two will battle with the Elemental Judgement at the discussion meeting.

“Will this meeting turn into a fight and wrangling?
