“Taking over… you even know this term. It seems you’ve gathered quite a bit of information within the Alchemy Cathedral subdivision. Thank you for your hard work, Denise.” Noland Lee laughed.

“It’s what I should be doing, don’t keep saying thank you.” Denise snorted.

Noland chuckled and soon noticed the door handle of the guest room turning.

“Alright, Denise, I’m busy now.”

“Mm, I’m going home now. There are too many people in the Alchemy Cathedral’s subdivision…”

Denise’s voice disappeared in his mind.

Noland looked at the slowly opening door and saw not Philia, but the peeking Betty.

“What’s wrong, Betty? What are you sneaking around for?” Noland laughed at her secretive appearance.

“My brother just came to the Kitty Shop to look for me. He said his Alchemical Cube was found by the Golden Commerce Guild. It was the Razor Gang who hired the Illegal Alchemists of Black City to attack his Mechanical Spider…”

Betty stood outside the door, sticking her head into the room, staring at Noland with a serious expression on her small face, as if trying to see something from his face.

Noland was surprised for half a second after hearing the news, as if he had just learned about it himself.

He clapped his hands and laughed:

“That’s great news, Betty. We only investigated that the Razor Gang was involved in this, but we didn’t expect the Golden Commerce Guild to solve the problem for us first.”

Betty blinked her bright eyes, looking suspiciously at Noland. Her thin eyebrows knitted together beneath the orange bangs:

“Huh? You didn’t know about this…”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Noland was bewildered and “Yes, I didn’t know about it until you told me. If I had known earlier, I would have definitely told you. What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing, nothing…” Betty muttered and closed the door:

“I thought you were the one who gave the clue to the Golden Commerce Guild. Hmph, it made me angry. I wanted to give the Razor Gang a good beating…”

“Click.” The door closed.

Noland awkwardly touched his nose.

This silly girl, Betty, is really impulsive, actually thinking about getting into trouble with the Razor Gang by herself.

Just as Noland was about to show an amused expression, he saw the door being quietly opened again.

Noland quickly hid his smile, picked up the tea cup instead.

With a puzzled look on his face, as if he had been interrupted while drinking water, he looked at the little head sticking out from behind the door:

“What’s wrong, Betty? You’re acting strange today.”

“It’s nothing, nothing… I just wanted to look at you… You look handsome in that outfit, and it’s very easy on the eyes.”

Betty’s head was squeezed in the crack, only showing her forehead and eyes to Noland.

She took another look at the confused Noland and then closed the door again.

Noland activated “Life and Death Tracking”, watching Betty leave the corridor, he felt a sigh of emotion.

What a quirky girl with so many tricks up her sleeve, even knowing how to make a comeback.

In my two lifetimes, I have had a lot of experience and quick reactions. I can’t fool you, a little girl?

Hehe!

Noland’s lips showed a smile as an “old ginger”, enjoying the leisurely tea, the scenery, and patiently waiting for Philia’s reply.

He never considered taking credit for himself in front of Fars and Betty. That’s because the process of recounting the events would inevitably involve sensitive content.

Fars was fine, he was a “straight man” who focused on alchemy experiments. He was simple-minded. For someone he trusted, he would believe whatever they said. Noland could easily dismiss Fars’ desire to get to the bottom of things with just a few words.

But Betty was different. She was clever and cunning, with many thoughts in her head. On one hand, she maintained a cute and innocent image of a good sister in front of her brother, on the other, she quietly stirred up trouble. If Noland talked too much with her, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Therefore, Noland decided not to tell the two about what he had done behind the scenes.

At least not now.

When this memory fades away in a year or two, becoming Fars’ boasting capital and Betty’s lingering question, Noland would consider telling them the truth.

Why do it like this?

It’s simple.

Noland Lee will leave Alchemist Island and won’t return for a short time.

After he leaves, the relationships between people will fade.

If he wants to ask Fars Scott for a favor, he needs a topic to narrow the distance.

In that case, a true story hidden from history will undoubtedly win Fars Scott’s sincere gratitude. After that, asking Fars Scott for help will be a natural step.

If Fars Scott does not become a high-grade alchemist at that time, Betty Davis, as his sister, will also agree to help due to her relationship with Noland.

Noland spends his time browsing through the books in his mind.

Philia has not returned yet.

This is a good thing.

It means that the meeting between Elemental Judgement and Morster is underway.

About half an hour later, Philia entered the room with seriousness.

“Thank you for conveying the message, Ray Lee.”

Philia forced a smile, took out a coin card, and handed it over:

“Please accept this. It’s a token of gratitude from Elemental Judgement.”

Noland took the coin card and glanced at it. The large amount of 100,000 coins sparked his imagination.

“Philia, isn’t this a bit too much? I only relayed a message, and Morster already gave me a reward.” Noland asked while holding the coin card.

Philia pushed the coin card back:

“Not at all, not at all. It’s quite appropriate. If you hadn’t helped Morster convey the message and provided us with information, Elemental Judgement would have suffered heavy losses in the Black City. Compared to that, 100,000 coins are nothing. This is my teacher’s intention; please just accept it.”

“Alright then, I’ll accept it.” Noland pocketed the coin card before asking:

“Is the situation very serious?”

“Yes, it’s very serious. According to the detailed information Morster provided, there is a trace of the Soul-stealing Overlord in Black City.”

Noland gasped slightly:

“The Soul-stealing Overlord? The rumored dead Annihilating Wizard Level criminal? Didn’t the Wizard Enforcement Department say that the Soul-stealing Overlord and his magic plane were annihilated by extraterrestrial space pollution?”

Philia shook her head and said:

“I don’t know the specifics. We will only know once the Wizard Enforcers arrive to investigate. We only know that Morster’s intelligence shows that there is a ‘Soul-stealing Wizard’ in Black City with an unclear origin and unknown strength. The Wizard Enforcers, who were originally scheduled to arrive at Alchemist Island in a month and a half, will hurry up. As for whether the Law Enforcement Department will send more enforcement wizards, I don’t know. They have always been secretive about the situation of the enforcement wizards, and this time is no exception.”

Noland waved his hand:

“I hope everything goes smoothly. I’ll leave now, Philia.”

“I’ll walk you to the door.”

As the two talked about the situation in Black City, they walked toward the manor gate.

Noland said goodbye to Philia. On his way back, he told Denise Green about the situation.

Denise was shocked and speechless when she heard that there was a Soul-stealing Overlord’s wizard in Black City.

It’s not her fault.

It is rumored that more than ten years ago, the Soul-stealing Overlord angered the Wizard Enforcement Department and was hunted down. The two sides had a fierce battle outside the Star Filtering Net. The Soul-stealing Overlord was seriously injured and escaped, accidentally coming into conflict with an extraterrestrial space pollutant.

The Soul-stealing Overlord “lost his head” to this extraterrestrial space pollutant, and the Wizard Enforcement Department announced that he had been killed in action.

The terrifying thing about the Soul-stealing Overlord was his “Soul-stealing” technique.

Noland had collected so many soul fragments and could be considered an expert in obtaining Soul Strength. But the Soul Strength he had gathered was all absorbed from corpses and dead bodies.

The Soul-stealing Overlord was powerful. Before becoming an Annihilating Wizard Level criminal, he was a professor experienced in the branch of soul-stealing with the(evil)magical skill of forcibly extracting souls. Now, this branch no longer exists.

The effect of Soul-stealing Magic on plundering Soul Strength is far more powerful than “Soul Absorption.” Simply grabbing a living creature allows it to steal the soul from the target.

The stronger the Soul-stealing Wizard, the more souls they can forcibly take away.

The Soul-stealing Overlord was at the top of the Soul-stealing Wizards and once committed the heinous crime of sucking a million souls at once. This evil deed angered the Wizard Enforcement Department, leading to a series of subsequent battles and unexpected events.
