Constructing-Style Wizard

After Noland Lee and Denise Green entered the room, the deep-sea wizard closed the door and stood guard outside.

Selena, as the summoner of this emergency spaceship, had arranged a temporary study for herself on board to handle official business.

When Noland Lee and Denise Green entered, Selena was just working on a report for tonight’s enforcement action.

The appearance of this Nine-Circles Deep Sea Witch was quite unique.

Her magic robe was made of water, wrapping her graceful figure like a water-blue silk gown. As she worked, ripples and wave-like patterns appeared on the surface of her robe.

The Suman Archipelago was located near the equator of the planet below, where the weather was hot and the sunlight abundant.

In such a strong light environment, there was no trace of it left on Selena. Her skin was as white as snow, smooth and delicate, matched with her water-blue liquid magic robe, adding to her elegance and nobility.

“Noland Lee Jarvis, Denise Green,” Selena waved her hand, pausing her magic pen writing: Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Erica has introduced you to me. I’ll be brief. I suggest you give up the pursuit of Moscat’s arrest warrant. Because the Dread Sail Pirate Nation’s stronghold is not an island; it’s not on the sea surface. To capture Moscat, you must first master deep-sea magic. Only in this way can you dive into the seabed, find the traces of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation in the lightless zone where the sunlight can’t reach.”

Selena stared at Noland Lee with her pale blue eyes, speaking gently but undeniably:

“Don’t waste your time, credit points, and gold coins on this arrest warrant. Giving it up is a wise choice. Of course, if you are determined to accept it, I will not stop you, but you need to purchase another teleportation quota. You’re lucky tonight; you can return to the Suman Archipelago with more than ten deep-sea wizards. This means that the cost of opening the Teleportation Gate will be shared. You only need to pay 80,000 gold coins to buy a teleportation quota. I have two here. For a fixed price of 160,000 gold coins, I will take you to the Suman Archipelago.”

Hmm… Noland Lee thought for a moment.

Selena’s willingness to offer a discount on teleportation fees might not only be due to cost-sharing. It’s probably because Erica mentioned it in the letter, which is why Selena offers the discount in the first place.

Noland Lee doesn’t think he has such an influence to make a Nine Circles Witch personally issue a “coupon.”

As expected, Selena’s next words confirmed Noland Lee’s guess.

Seeing Noland Lee’s silence and contemplation, Selena thought he was still clinging to the arrest warrant and said:

“I have a good relationship with Erica, so I wanted to remind you. When the disc-shaped ship has been teleported away, I will send the passengers back to the magic ship and open the teleportation gate to leave with the deep-sea wizards. Take your time to consider it.”

Denise Green gently shook the arm she had wrapped around Noland Lee. She activated “Soul Perception” and tried to persuade Noland Lee to accept Selena’s proposal.

But if they accept the proposal, their plan to buy an island would have to be shelved.

160,000 gold coins would significantly reduce the funds to buy an island, making Noland Lee feel the pain.

Fortunately, Noland Lee had a way to save the money and make Selena willingly waive Denise Green’s ticket price.

This had to do with something Noland Lee learned from the “Fundamentals of Magic” book.

Noland Lee looked at Selena and said:

“Miss, I have the “Omniscient” extraordinary trait.”

Denise Green looked at Noland Lee skeptically, blinking her eyes.

Selena was also visibly taken aback. She raised her eyebrows, expressing her surprise in the form of a question:

“Are you sure? Why didn’t Erica tell me about this? Didn’t she say your extraordinary trait is ‘Magic Proficient’?”

Noland Lee shrugged:

“After learning the ‘Fundamentals of Magic’ on my own, I ran multiple private experiments based on the knowledge in the book and confirmed that I possess both ‘Magic Proficient’ and ‘Omniscient’ extraordinary traits.”

‘Magic Proficient’ meant being able to learn any magic book easily.

‘Omniscient,’ on the other hand, was understanding the principles, structures, and workings of everything with ease.

Both extraordinary traits belonged to Celestial Extraordinary Attributes.

It was hard to compare the merits of the two because their uses were different.

In game-like terms:

‘Magic Proficient’ only worked on magic books, significantly lowering the learning requirements of all magic.

‘Omniscient’ could obtain partial panel information of an item.

Of course, the wizards of this world did not know about “panel information.”

Those with ‘Omniscient’ did not simply look at an item and instantly have panel information in their minds.

They could only write down an unfamiliar item’s purpose, structure, principles, and other information by simply following their intuition.

These pieces of information would not be as exaggerated as the results of Deconstruction.

At least there was no way for someone with ‘Omniscient’ to know something as exaggerated as the age or appearance of the writer of a piece of handwritten text; only Deconstruction could do that.

In some ways, the Deconstruction Core System and ‘Omniscient’ were very similar.

The difference was that the Deconstruction Core System required Noland Lee to consume Energy Points, while ‘Omniscient’ was an instinctive response with no additional costs.
