Cat Society Manor.

In a small guest room.

The afternoon sunlight was warm and bright, becoming even softer after passing through silk curtains.

Noland Lee sat on a soft one-seater sofa, staring blankly at the floating dust in the light column for a while before Philia arrived.

As soon as Noland Lee saw her, he used Deconstruction.

He spent a thousand energy points and obtained Philia’s important memories from the last two days.

From the obtained memory fragments, Philia and her mentor were curious about the Alchemy Cathedral’s investigation of the Re-forged Association and other forces’ actions.

They knew about the pollution zone on the sea surface and that it was caused by a cargo ship from the Tatis Empire.

However, they were not sure what was in the ship wreckage, nor did they know why the Alchemy Cathedral pointed the finger at the Re-forged Association.

This confirmed that the Golden Commerce Guild had indeed kept Noland Lee’s secret and never told Elemental Judgement about his involvement in the operation, where he played a significant role.

Noland Lee was pleased with the Golden Commerce Guild’s secrecy.

His status in the eyes of Elemental Judgement remained unchanged, still a reliable and somewhat skilled wandering wizard.

“Ray Lee, you’ve arrived.” Philia closed the door with a smile.

Smoothing the folds of her dress behind her, she sat on a one-seater sofa opposite Noland Lee and asked:

“Are you here to rent the magic laboratory or buy magic materials?”

Noland Lee shook his head slightly:

“No, Philia. I’m here for something else. Someone asked me to discuss something with you.”

“Oh? Really?” Philia sat up straight, ready to listen carefully while her dress tightened around her.

“Here’s the thing. I have a friend in the Tatis Empire whose identity is somewhat special.” Noland Lee spread his hands and said:

“He is the descendant of the Tatis Emperor and the only legal wizard in the empire. I think you should know his name.”

“His name is Morster, right? Hotams’s metal wizard.” A contemplative light appeared in Philia’s eyes:

“I think I know what he wants you to do. He wants to use you to buy a Bone-mending Wand from us, right?”

Philia’s expression became somewhat distressed, and the smile at the corner of her mouth turned bitter:

“I’m sorry, Ray Lee. I can’t help you with this. My mentor has already sealed the wand and will hand it over to the Elemental Judgement Combat Wizard arriving here tomorrow.”

“There should still be room for negotiation, Philia. You might as well listen to the bargaining chips Morster offers.”

“Hmm… Okay, go ahead.”

Noland Lee sorted out the information in his mind and began to convey the intelligence Morster had provided.

His starting point was not about how many wandering wizards were missing in name only in Black City, or the potential wizard criminals there.

He focused on Hickman Arlington.

Noland Lee knew about Hickman Arlington’s betrayal of the Elemental Judgement from Philia herself.

Using that as a starting point, Noland Lee aimed to spark Philia’s curiosity by asking “Why did Hickman Arlington join Black City?” He then raised the question of how many wandering wizards had been attacked and disappeared in the Fissure Corridor over the past few years to further stimulate her thoughts.

After following this train of thought, Philia fell into contemplation.

“Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit strange.” Philia frowned in thought:

“Since I became a wizard student, probably eight wandering wizards have been attacked in the Fissure Corridor in the last five years. They were all taken by Black City’s alchemists to the deepest part of the Fissure Corridor. As soon as we discovered these incidents, we informed the respective mentor professors of the wandering wizards.”

“The professors had different reactions. Some were very angry and emotional, while others were cold and indifferent as if they didn’t care whether their students were dead or alive. However, no matter what their attitude, these events eventually ended without consequences. Most professors used the excuse of a long journey to lament that they could not send new wandering wizards to rescue their fallen students.”

Philia helplessly shrugged and sighed lightly:

“We are just a magic research institute here, not a magic judging organization. Without the request of the mentor professors, we cannot send people to Black City. This would violate the contract signed with the Alchemy Cathedral. As a result, those missing wandering wizards have never reappeared in our sight.”

Noland Lee struck while the iron was hot and said:

“Morster should have prepared the information by now, Philia. You can communicate with the mentor professors.”

In fact, the young Morster had become quite impatient.

After returning to the Tatis Empire, he went to see his mother, Adelaide Carter. Morster learned from his mother’s mouth that during his heated battle with Noland Lee, a companion witch named Denise Green had contacted his mother through a professor to inquire about him.

With a quick thought, Morster immediately realized that Denise’s relationship with Noland Lee was special, and they must be in a companion witch and contractor relationship.

Thinking that his parents were also in a contractual relationship, with his father being a ruler of a country, Morster immediately realized how terrifying Noland Lee’s potential was.

Morster knew very well where the rebirth magic power came from. He deeply knew that only those who could provide a stable and plentiful supply of rebirth magic power would be favored by companion witches. Only God knows how many students in Hotams long to become the contractors of companion witches.
