Chapter 376: 135. Cross-boundary cooperation_6

Translator: 549690339

Noland Lee tapped his fingertips on the desk as he pondered.

The study was quiet.

“Here’s a piece of news, Cindy. Considering our successful cooperation before, I’m willing to share this news with you.”

“It’s my honor. I will keep it a secret.” Cindy sat up straight, let go of her crossed leg, and placed both legs neatly under the desk.

Noland Lee placed his ten crossed fingers on the table and said:

“Do you know about Intelligence Department 6?”

“Wait a minute.” Cindy raised her left hand and pressed her right hand to her chest:

“Let me interrupt for a moment. The news you’re about to tell me, isn’t it something that will make my heart race again?”

“Yes, Cindy. And it’s even more explosive than last time.”

“Then let me prepare myself…” Cindy took a few breaths, with her chest heaving, “Alright, go on. I don’t know about Intelligence Department 6. Is it special?”

Noland Lee said:

“Intelligence Department 6 is an intelligence organization within the Tatis Empire that is responsible for infiltrating the legal alchemy factions in the Golden Federation. I have received reliable news that a batch of Life Elixir is about to enter Union City.”

Cindy’s expression was astonished, and her gaze was somewhat blank.

She glanced at the serious Noland Lee and then at the documents about “Blackwater Winery” on the table, opened her mouth, and said:

“You mean… Blackwater Winery…”

“I just suspect it for now, Cindy.” Noland Lee spread his hands:

“The information I received is limited. Since Intelligence Department 6 never operates within the Tatis Empire, in the intelligence I gathered, ‘Blackwater Winery’ has the most significant connection to them.”

“No wonder you want me to inquire about Blackwater Winery…” Cindy held a cigarette between her fingers:Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you need me to dig further into Blackwater Winery and the Razor Gang?”

“No.” Noland Lee shook his head:

“You just wait for my news. Once I confirm something, I’ll ask Derek for help.”

Cindy said:

“Sure, no problem. I’ll let Derek know not to lead his team to the underground depths lately. He’s overjoyed with the huge rewards he received from the Merchant Supervisor and even wants to meet with you to express his gratitude in person. Do you want me to arrange that for both of you?”

“No need, I don’t like gatherings.”

“Yeah, I can see that.” Cindy looked unsurprised.

“Let’s end our talk here. I’ll see you out.”

Noland Lee stood up, walked out of the study with Cindy, and asked as they walked:

“Do you guys at the Golden Commerce Guild have a ship leaving Alchemist Island?”

“Yes. You tell me when you plan to leave, and I’ll arrange it. The Chamber of Commerce Supervisor is very satisfied with the over 200,000 Life Elixirs. I can arrange the best cabin for you, no problem.”

Cindy walked beside Noland Lee and said:

“You’re not the first wizard to ask me this question. Before you, wizards from other sectors also asked. It seems that everyone is planning to leave here in the near future. You all asked the right person because only the Golden Commerce Guild in the entire Golden Federation has established fixed ocean routes.

“Starting from Alchemist Island, heading east to Reefstone City in Kashel Continent, that’s the first stop of the journey. Then, it will continue to follow the west coast of the Kashel Continent southward, passing through the coastal cities along the way, and finally taking the deep-sea current from the southwest corner of the Kashel Continent directly back to Alchemist Island.”

Noland Lee sent Cindy to the door and shook hands with her:

“Wait for my news, Cindy. I hope that after I leave, the friendship between me and the Golden Commerce Guild will not end.”

“I feel the same way, Ray Lee.” Cindy said with a smile:

“Having a wizard friend outside is a wonderful thing for the Chamber of Commerce. Besides, you are much easier to communicate with than the wizards in the wizard caravans, and you are more mysterious and modest.”

Cindy paused for half a second, her face turned serious, and she said sincerely:

“Thank you, Ray Lee. If there is turbulence in the future, the more than 200,000 Life Elixirs you obtained for us will save many people. You are indispensable and irreplaceable. Goodbye, and wait for your news.”

The door opened and closed, and Cindy left with her perfume scent.

After instructing the lady housekeeper to prepare lunch for himself, Noland Lee returned to the study on the second floor.

Cindy said that some Wandering Wizards had visited her recently to inquire about the shipping schedule.

Noland Lee knew about this.

He had seen Denise Green and other wizards enter “Money and Good Dreams” through the “surveillance camera” he had placed in Sector 7.

Denise Green went to inquire about the shipping schedule with Noland Lee’s guidance, while the other Wandering Wizards were requested by Elemental Judgement.

Fugidia, Sheldon Archer, and Nikcat, these three Wandering Wizards, must leave the Golden Federation within a month.

This was an eviction order from the local First Level Magic Research Institute. Considering they had indirectly helped Elemental Judgement get the Bone-mending Wand, Elemental Judgement gave them the maximum time limit. One month was enough for them to leave comfortably.

When Noland Lee had learned this situation from Denise Green, he asked a question:

Why didn’t their companions, who had reopened the Teleportation Gate and left the Bottom of the Fissure, take the three of them with them?

In response to this question, Denise Green took a few minutes to explain the Ulnas Ring Law clearly:

If these three Wandering Wizards were to leave through the Teleportation Gate, their mistakes would not only be helping to open the Teleportation Gate, but also adding an “illegal departure from the training area through the Teleportation Gate.”

To avoid deepening the guilt on their own shoulders, they should leave the Golden Federation by conventional means.

Noland Lee then raised a new question:

Didn’t the six wizards who left through the Teleportation Gate commit another mistake by opening the Teleportation Gate again? Why didn’t they use conventional means to leave the Golden Federation?

Denise Green’s tone was close to helpless, not because Noland Lee kept asking questions, but because the Ulnas Circle law was too harsh.

“Here is the situation, Noland. The penalty for wizards who illegally open the Teleportation Gate and illegally access the area where the First Level Magic Research Institute is located is measured by the ‘duration of stay’. The longer they stay, the more severe the penalty. The penalty for the fifth day of stay is five times the penalty for the first day. Fines accumulate daily. If the stay is less than one day, it is counted as one day.”

“If those six wizards don’t leave through the door soon, they will be judged as staying illegally for five days. The total fine for each person will reach a staggering 75,000 Ulnas gold coins. However, opening the Teleport Gate illegally only fines 10,000 Ulnas gold coins. So, you know, choosing the lesser of two evils, it’s better to leave directly through the door.”

Noland Lee shook his head in response to this explanation.

The strict, complex, and meticulous Ulnas Ring law was not suitable for a man like him who comes and goes like the wind.

So, joining the Ulnas Ring, forget about it.

Noland Lee sat down in the study, using Deconstruction Technique to store the documents brought by Cindy in his mind, and read them carefully.

About 10 minutes later, the lady housekeeper brought lunch.

After Noland Lee had eaten and drunk, he locked the door, calmed his mind, and controlled the Heart Control Spiders he had placed in various parts of the city.

If the “Irreplaceable Alchemy Materials” are really “Pure Bone Cards” or something similar…

Then including the Life Elixirs, his action this time might make a bloody profit twice.

Uh.

The hatred value he gains would also be doubled.
