Constructing-Style Wizard - Chapter 521: 170. Silence, young Noland!
Chapter 521: 170. Silence, young Noland!
Claudia Erika, the wizard leader of the “Silent Maiden”, Lecturer Professor, a Battle Witch with Nine-Circles strength.
Upon seeing her for the first time, Noland Lee thought:
Youthful mature beauty.
This was a tall woman over 1.8 meters in height but possessed a lovely face with both childishness and cuteness. Bangs framed her face, and she had long black hair adorned with a silver headdress decorated with indigo jewels. Her body was draped in a silver velvet robe as pure as moonlight.
‘Silent Maiden’ had been established for about three or four decades now.
Which meant that this ageless youthful-looking witch, to Noland Lee, was at least a figure of his mother’s generation. Yet, there was no trace of time’s passage on her body. Especially her delicate white skin, which shimmered like snowflakes under the unique deep-blue light of the Silent Yard.
Now thinking about it, the sentence “Magic Power Containers will suppress aging” on the ‘Magic Power Container’ panel wasn’t just bluster. In a way, ‘Magic Power Containers’ could be considered a tool for longevity.
This beautiful, youthful, and mature woman, Claudia Erika, was the best example.
Regrettably, the price of accommodating a ‘Magic Power Container’ was truly unbearable.
“Good day, ma’am,”
Noland Lee showed the respect he ought to before a Nine-Circles Battle Witch.
He gave a slight bow, greeted the other party with a universally recognized gesture, and had a calm demeanor without servility or arrogance.
After casting a Deconstruction Technique, Noland Lee, as expected, saw the words “Requires 370,000 Energy Points for a 100% Deconstruction” on the feedback information.
Noland Lee straightened up, casting Deconstruction Techniques on the other items in the study when his gaze swept over them unintentionally.
Astrolabe with four metal rings, Deconstruction Consumption is 30,000 Energy Points.
Automatic Homework Correction Magic Pen, Deconstruction Consumption is 3,200 Energy Points.
Slow-growing half-meter sapling in glass cover, Deconstruction Consumption is 500,000 Energy Points.
Parrot Magic Messenger perched upon a stand, staring at him, tilting its head, Deconstruction Consumption is 40,000 Energy Points.
With the magic books Noland Lee had seen, he could barely recognize the items in the study room.
During this process, Erika silently watched him, her delicate eyebrows twitching slightly.
Erika was observing the first male wizard with a ‘Magic Power Container’ in history.
From Comi’s report, this male wizard not only had a ‘Magic Power Container’ but might also possess an ‘Extraordinary Trait’, such as ‘Magic Proficiency’ or a combination of similar extraordinary traits.
A truly lucky young man to the point of envy. Erika thought that as a woman, possessing a ‘Magic Power Container’ was already fortunate enough. But compared to this untutored, wild wizard, her luck was not worth mentioning.
“What’s your name?”
Erika’s voice sounded pleasant, like a clear stream splashing against the surface of a stone:
“Ray Lee shouldn’t be your real name, right? Could you tell me your name? And while you’re at it, introduce yourself?”
“Yes, ma’am, it is my honor,”
Noland Lee said:
“I am Noland Lee Jarvis, formerly a Teaching Assistant for history in Birchwood City of the Tatis Empire.”
Noland Lee removed the magical disguise from his body, revealing his true appearance.
He recounted his past experiences and, in a brief manner, described the process of suddenly possessing extraordinary traits.
From the description given by Comi, Erika roughly guessed that Noland Lee, who had ice-blue pupils and slightly pale skin, came from the Tatis Empire. But when he recounted his twisted experiences, she couldn’t help but think of the word “legendary” in her heart, as she reviewed Noland Lee’s process of escaping from the Suffering Borderland.
At this moment, she felt that recruiting Noland Lee was definitely the right decision.
He was a firm, calm, rational young man with a clear concept of good and evil and extremely self-disciplined. The excellent character he displayed was worthy of comparison to a middle-aged man with worldly experience.
The process of studying history had made him restrained and low-key, and the sudden acquisition of extraordinary traits had not turned him into an evil person who committed all sorts of crimes. It should be noted that without strong moral constraints, anyone who achieves success like him would inevitably take a wrong path under the influence of desire.
Having served as a Wizard Enforcer for many years, Erika had seen too many talented and arrogant young people with extraordinary gifts. Most of them had become the targets of Wizard Enforcers because their abilities did not match their education.
What was even more commendable was that Noland Lee had already acquired a Companion Witch. The ‘Lantern of the Reborn’ taking advantage of the connection between a Companion Witch and a powerful wizard was not something Erika judged. However, the witch selected by the ‘Lantern’ was indeed a symbol of kindness and gentleness.
With Companion Witch Denise’s endorsement, Noland Lee’s character and nature rose to another level, earning him a higher evaluation in Erika’s heart.
After Noland Lee finished recounting his experiences, Erika joked with a smile:
“Usually, new members who have just joined us will undergo some psychological adjustment to adapt better to their roles as females. But I think you don’t need it. Let’s skip the psychological adjustment process.”
Noland Lee smiled and nodded. Judging from her relaxed words, this woman, over fifty years old, seemed to have a good impression of him.
