Constructing-Style Wizard - Chapter 565: 182. Post-event Management_3

Chapter 565: 182. Post-event Management_3

“Thank you for the advice, Bella.” Noland Lee took a glove from his pocket and put it on.

The black Pig Cook fabric was soft and tough. It was obviously a carefully crafted handguard made by a magic artisan.

Noland Lee cast a Deconstruction Technique to examine it.

The glove had a remarkable deconstruction consumption of 50,000 points, proving its excellent protective performance.

“Were there any casualties in the previous explosion?” Noland Lee asked, wearing the glove.

Bella nodded:

“Several Enforcement Wizards with Three-circled to Sixth Ring strength were injured. If it hadn’t been for my professor’s protection, I would’ve been affected by the explosion too. Captain Berkeley was also injured. He passed out and is currently being taken care of by my professor and a few other Enforcement Wizards.”

Bella clapped her hands:

“Alright, let’s get to work. We’ll chat when the task is over. You start collecting samples from here, and I’ll start from the opposite side. Some other wizards were supposed to help, but the Middle Deck is in awful condition, so they were sent for urgent power facility repairs. It’s just the two of us here now.”

After speaking, Bella walked around a semicircle, reaching the opposite edge of the crater from Noland Lee and began collecting samples scattered on the ground one by one.

Noland Lee brought Denise Green to the side, stuffed a cheese-flavored candy into her hand.

When nobody was looking, Denise quickly put the candy in her mouth, beaming at Noland Lee, clearly in a much better mood.

Noland Lee settled Denise and began to collect samples from the ground, following Bella’s example.

Most of the samples were embedded in the ground and had to be pried out with the tools in the Sample Pocket.

Noland Lee picked up a fingernail-sized chip fragment from the ground and skillfully cast a Deconstruction Technique.

The feedback message showed that this transparent chip was part of a Synthetic Human’s balance module.

Looking at the crystal-clear little object, Noland Lee thought of the ‘communication content’ he obtained from the neutrino communicator earlier.

Among the communication contents the 15 Synthetic Humans sent to the extraterrestrial void, there were several thought-provoking keywords.

The first keyword: World of Wizards – Deep Space Drilling Mission 2.

“World of Wizards” refers to the current world they were in, Noland Lee was sure of this.

Furthermore, the appearance of “No. 2” in “World of Wizards – 2” suggested there was a “No. 1” as well.

Considering the similar disaster that happened 15 years ago, Noland Lee thought it might have been “World of Wizards – Deep Space Drilling Mission 1.”

The Dsmi series of Synthetic Humans were specifically designed for deep space mining.

Noland Lee had a previous misunderstanding.

He thought that “minerals” must be underground deposits to be called “minerals.”

Now, he realized his mistake.

Magic ships, made of massive amounts of magic metal, are also considered “minerals.”

Unlike naturally formed minerals in the Natural World, magic ships are products of Metal System magecraft of advanced level to World of Wizards.

Taking a magic ship back to the extraterrestrial space equates to plundering valuable minerals from the World of Wizards.

So, drilling for “minerals” is not equivalent to searching for veins. Finding a magic ship to plunder is also drilling for “minerals.”

With this understanding, it completely makes sense that the Synthetic Humans, who were assigned to drill for minerals, plotted to plunder a magical ship and its captain.

Noland Lee’s conjecture was reasonable and supported by the two mission targets mentioned in the ‘communication content.’

The two mission targets were capturing “Nine Circles Metal Mage, Berkeley” and capturing “Berkeley’s Magic Metal Ship.”

The Star System Level extraterrestrial force called Deep Space United Mining clearly regarded the World of Wizards as a native world rich in magical metal.

They were invading the World of Wizards and plundering the magic metal resources. If they succeeded, all the natives on the magic ship would be slaughtered.

Noland Lee had killed the Synthetic Humans and destroyed the neutrino communicator, but he was still unsettled.

Before he destroyed them, the communicator had sent out a message requesting support from an armed interstellar fleet.

With the damaged power system, the magic ship could not leave the sea surface for the time being.

If the Armed Interstellar Fleet received the message and followed the coordinates recorded in the message to locate the magic ship, there would be an inevitable conflict between them and the Wizard Enforcers.

In a way, the Armed Interstellar Fleet that had breached the Star Filtering Net blockade was no different from the extraterrestrial space pollution that created the Outer Space Gap.

The Armed Interstellar Fleet was equivalent to the Pollution Zone caused by extraterrestrial space pollution.

How strong was their armed fleet? Noland pondered, and thought that it should be far more superior than the two Pollution Zones he had experienced previously.

The reason was, neither Berkeley nor his magic ship was currently able to perform interstellar travel. If Deep Space United Mining wanted to take him and his ship to the extraterrestrial space, they would have to transport the extremely heavy ship from the Sea Surface to Outer Space in reality.

The size of the magic ship was huge and its mass even more so.

If Deep Space United Mining could transport this scale of “mineral” away, their armed fleet’s strength should not be underestimated.

Huh? Wait a minute… Noland Lee suddenly paused, his motion to pick up the sample on the ground halting.

An unpleasant thought flashed through his mind, prompting him to review the investigation report of the disaster that occurred 15 years ago.
