Chapter 262: 116. Interrupt abruptly_6

The universally applicable metal powder is worth it for the Alchemy Cathedral to do this.

It is a catalyst, a purifier, which can intensify the alchemical reaction of metal objects, enhancing the purity of the product.

According to the book, from the fourth-rank alchemy set onward, it was heavily dependent on universal metal powder, or the product quality would be as low as an astonishing 20%.

“Boom-”

“Hmm? What was that sound?”

Noland Lee turned his head to look toward the door.

He had just heard a muffled explosion, which seemed to come from the corridor.

Noland Lee opened the door of the guestroom, stood in the corridor, and looked in the direction of the sound.

“Boom-”

Another muffled explosion.

Noland Lee listened carefully, it seemed to come from the magic laboratory.

Could it be that Philia made a mistake while testing the wand?

Noland Lee frowned slightly.

This was someone else’s territory, he couldn’t move around freely, so he had to stand in place and wait.

In the ensuing three minutes or so, a few more muffled sounds came.

After that, Philia came over with a look of complexity on her face. “What happened? Any accidents?” Noland Lee asked confused.

“Um…Ray Lee…”

Philia intertwined her hands in front of her, her face showing both embarrassment and anxiety.

She took a deep breath and said:

“The wand lost control and exploded…”

Noland Lee didn’t immediately reply to Philia.

He pulled out the system message and carefully checked the panel information of the wand.

It was clearly written in the system:

The wand will not lose control and leak energy.

“That wand won’t lose control, Philia.”

Noland Lee reached out to press Philia’s hand , helping her to calm down:

“Can you tell me the specific test process? What spells did you use? And what are the specification of the magic dummy for testing?

“I will tell you the answer!” A shrill male voice came from deep within the corridor.

Noland Lee shifted his gaze, circumventing Philia, looking behind her.

A strip of black material was shuttling in the sun-drenched corridor.

It brought a cold wind and landed in front of Noland Lee, turning into a middle-aged man with hollow cheeks, bulging eyeballs, and sparse hair.

“I have said it before that the ‘Sleeping Monument Master’s’ wandering mage has no skill in wand making. You should have allowed me to improve that wand, instead of finding this pink-faced boy.” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

The first half of the middle-aged man’s words were addressed to Philia, and the second half was directed at Noland Lee.

Noland Lee keenlv detected that there was a blurred energv fluctuation on the

man’s face. Apparently, like him, the man had made some disguises on his appearance.

The man was wearing a black classical robe, made of black velvet, with grey sequins as embellishments.

On his wrists, hands, neck, and other exposed skin, there were apparent black tattoos, drawn with images of beasts, magical beasts, birds of prey, and other motifs.

Unlike Death Notice Guild Wizard Greenshaw’s tall and thin shape, this man had a thick body and robust muscles. His face was flushed deep red, and he talked fast, giving a strangely ecstatic feeling.

Taking a closer look, Noland Lee then checked using the deconstruction technique. Now, he knew what “fellow practitioners are enemies” meant.

This man was a Death Clan Wizard, a full deconstruction of which needed no more than 10,000 energy points. The deconstruction requirement was about half of Greenshaw’s, likely a first-ring wizard.

One could tell straight away that it was definitely this guy who had tinkered with the wand to trigger the explosion.

So it seemed…that Elemental Judgment had brought in such a Death Clan wizard to help deal with the Blackbone Hermit and test the wand?

Noland Lee took a small breath and said calmly:

“Regrettably, Philia, I was supposed to be a bystander during the test. To avoid coming into contact with your secrets, I didn’t bring it up. Now, I regret it a bit. ”

The middle-aged wizard suddenly stepped forward, standing in front of Noland Lee, lowered his voice, and whispered menacingly:

“What you should regret is interfering with my matters, kid. Keep your eyes sharp, Elemental Judgment has already asked me for help, they don’t need your involvement. Even if you are at the testing site, you can’t change anything. Now, leave here. Considering your professor’s reputation as the ‘Sleeping

Monument Master,’ I will let you off this once.”

“Hickman Arlington, Ray Lee is my guest.” Philia hardened her face, looking annoyed:

“Don’t you think it’s a bit too much to threaten Ray Lee in front of me?”

“Heh, threaten?” The middle-aged wizard called Hickman Arlington stepped back, and snickered with a hypocritical smile:

“Only weak wizards would consider my words a threat. Let’s go, Philia. Taking advantage of the time before Spray Powder Day, I need to quickly create a wand. In this way, even after I leave Union City, you guys of Elemental Judgment will still have the capability to deal with the Blackbone Hermit. Look, this is the attitude of doing the job when paid, unlike some people…hehe…”

Arlington’s body rolled up like a carpet, turned into a black ribbon, and flew towards the magic laboratory.

Philia sighed helplessly, took an envelope from her pocket and put it into Noland Lee’s hand:

“I’m sorry, Ray Lee. This is the 30,000 Aggregation Coins we paid for the hard work, please accept it. I am willing to believe that there is no problem with the wand you modified, but please forgive our incapability. Elemental Judgment has limited understanding of Death Magic, we couldn’t discern whether Hickman Arlington had tampered with it.”

Noland Lee took his gaze away from Arlington’s back and smiled at Philia, taking the envelope and stuffing it in his pocket:
