Chapter 666: 213. Deceive Mode_2
He tilted his chin up slightly, revealing his ordinary face, as his scrutinizing gaze shot out from under the brim of his hat, sizing up Noland Lee standing beside Selena.
He raised his right hand, flicking his fingertips in the air.
Noland Lee was unscathed, but those betraying family advisors were pierced through completely from bottom to top by lightning-fast earth spikes.
Before they could scream, the earth spikes burst with intense and brief earth rock magic fluctuations, and within an instant, they were turned into clay sculptures with looks of terror and pain.
The evening wind blew, and the clay sculptures swiftly cracked and crumbled, their broken pieces scattering on the ground, only to be absorbed by the terrace floor, leaving behind no traces.
To kill and silence, to destroy the corpses and erase all evidence, all done in one smooth sequence, without hesitation or delay.
The family secret guard, right in front of Selena, completed all these tasks as if it was nothing.
He slid his hand into his sleeve and took out a crystal, placing it on the terrace railing. He slightly bowed towards Selena, then disappeared into the wall.
Selena used a water belt to retrieve the crystal and handed it to Noland Lee:
“This is the contract carrier for the ‘Guardian Demonic Spirits.’ You and the Demon Spirit Wizard both hold this crystal at the same time to sign a new Guardian Contract. After signing the contract, do not leave alone; follow me to the Academy.”
“Thank you, ma’am.” Noland Lee nodded his thanks, taking the crystal and flying toward the Demon Spirit Wizard who had exited the Magic Octagon Cage.
The Wizard had just been half-killed by Noland Lee and was now barely recovering from her severe injuries.
Through the records in her Guardian Contract, she learned about the events that had occurred this evening.
Unlike ordinary Wizards, she showed no resentment toward Noland Lee, who had nearly killed her.
With the gaze of an outsider, she observed the surrounding scenes with indifferent coldness, as if the people and objects around her were but mere bubble shadows.
Facing Noland Lee holding the contract carrier, she extended her arm to hold his right hand and the crystal, speaking in a calm voice:
“The contract in your hand has 15 years of guardianship remaining. Once the contract takes effect, please give me orders according to the rules within the contract. Violating contract commands will awaken my consciousness and wisdom. Multiple violations will result in the automatic termination of our contract relationship. If you need to awaken my consciousness during that time, please follow the guidance within the contract. The same goes for terminating contract relations and changing Guardian subjects. If there are no objections, please infuse the crystal with Soul Energy.”
Noland Lee infused the crystal with Soul Energy.
The crystal grew slightly hot and trembled before calming down, becoming as cold as ice.
Also losing their warmth were the eyes of the Demon Spirit Wizard.
As the contract took effect, the faint remaining expression on her face vanished, and she entered a dull, dazed state with glazed eyes.
At the moment the contract was established, Noland Lee received messages from both the crystal and the system simultaneously.
The message from the crystal was a whispered murmur in his ear, telling him some spells that every Contractor needs to know.
The system message was something like panel information of the crystal, but now was not the time to examine it in detail.
Noland Lee distinguished the low murmurs in his ear, and found a spell for conveying commands:NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“Bukanda, Isiri.”
The eyes of the dazed Demon Spirit Wizard shimmered with light, and her entire body, like a rolled-up carpet, flew into the crystal in Noland Lee’s hand with a whoosh.
Noland Lee slowly nodded, putting the crystal into the pocket of his Magic Robe.
After the family secret guard took over the Manor, he brought another housekeeper from the isle responsible for production and living supplies to properly handle the site, send away guests and close the Manor.
The guests who had witnessed what happened were approached by the servants, signing Magic Contracts prohibiting them from disclosing the events of the evening and accepting hush money.
After dismantling the Magic Octagon Cage, the Deep Sea Wizards also signed this contract.
Noland signed the same contract. But it wasn’t the servants or the housekeeper who made him sign; Selena put the contract in front of him and slightly glared, forcing him to sign it.
Noland was perceptive, he did not resist and quickly signed his name, taking the rightfully deserved hush money of 10,000 gold coins.
About 20 minutes later, the crowd dispersed. Those who needed to fly flew away, and those who needed to sail took to the boats.
Noland Lee originally intended to use “Death Flight” to follow Selena to the Core Circle, but she specifically asked him to board the Academy’s magic car before leaving.
Noland followed her, sitting facing her in the rear carriage with two rows of seats.
Under the control of the Magic Servant, the magic car started and smoothly glided through the night sky.
Selena sat with her arms crossed, sitting in the seat diagonally across from Noland Lee, with one slender leg propped up and her dark-blue liquid robe rippling.
She stared at Noland Lee for two or three seconds before letting out a muffled sigh:
“I admit you’re clever, Jarvis, but what you did tonight was truly audacious. I know you guessed that I was deliberately getting close to Fagen, but even so, you should have consulted me first.”
Noland Lee asked:
“May I ask, what should I have consulted you about?”
“Consult me about your actions tonight,” Selena replied.
“So, if I had consulted you first, could I have done what I did tonight?” Noland Lee asked again.
Selena paused for half a second:
“No.”
“That’s right, no. So, I didn’t consult you.” Noland Lee nodded indifferently:
“It’s precisely because it was so unexpected that we killed the Tide Spy, obtained the crucial evidence on him, exposed the family advisors who colluded with the Tide Spy, unearthed Fagen’s crimes, witnessed the family secret guards concealing evidence and thwarting justice, and found the place where the spies had planted the poison bomb. Compared to these gains, the cost we invested tonight was insignificant.”
