Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 564: 182. After-event Arrangement_2

Now, the middle deck was also severely damaged by the previous explosion, destroying a large number of magical devices that supplied energy and power to the magic ship.

As a result, the magic ship lost its power source and could only float on the sea surface of the Blackfold Sea.

Fortunately, the lower deck was mostly unharmed.

Due to the corrosive nature of the deep sea water, the lower deck’s internal and external defenses were the highest of the entire ship.

Thanks to this, the explosion caused by the reactor only slightly deformed the cabin and outer armor of the lower deck, without causing any breach for sea water to flood in.

Helping the magic ship recover its power was put aside for now, and the top priority was to thoroughly investigate the source of the disaster and the criminal responsible.

Noland Lee noticed that in the ruins of the shipboard town, a gray mist was flying towards the three of them.

This gray mist was Silent Witch Comini.

Noland Lee reached out his hand and pointed to the figure flying towards them, saying:

“Kalandi, this enforcement wizard is the Seventh Ring Silent Witch Comini.”

After Comini landed, Noland Lee introduced Kalandi to her, completing the introduction for both parties.

Compared to Noland Lee’s standard wizard look with his magic robe, Comini’s sturdy magic metal armor was undoubtedly more impactful. Coupled with her shiny bald head, her aura was extremely powerful.

When Comini arrived, Kalandi inevitably became nervous, even if he was innocent and hadn’t done anything wrong.

“Jarvis, I’ll be in charge of questioning Kalandi,” Comini approached, her magic metal armor plates clanging.

“Alright,” Noland Lee nodded.

Comini raised her hand, pointed in the direction of the town’s ruins, and said to Noland Lee:

“Now go and cooperate with the other enforcement wizards to clean up the explosion site. Over there, in the direction of Barron Arena. The Light Wizards will tell you what to do; just follow their instructions. I have already informed them about your situation and Denise’s; they won’t be too concerned about your identities.”

“Yes, I’ll go right away.” Noland Lee took Denise and went into flight mode, flying towards the source of the explosion.

Companion witches held a unique position among the wizard group. Due to the soul contract, amicable companion witches and contractors were often regarded as one entity.

Denise wasn’t an enforcement wizard, but she could still follow Noland Lee to the source of the explosion and clean up the scene. Of course, she could only watch from the side, unable to speak or touch anything at the scene.

Barron Arena, as the source of the explosion, was the only smoothly intact existence among the entire town ruins.

The immense energy released by the reactor explosion had carved out a flat, hemispherical crater on the ground here. The crater surface was compressed and solidified, forming a smooth, curved ground.

Previously, the facilities inside the arena either melted due to high temperature and pressure or were compressed into the ground, becoming a “paper-cut” on the curved metal ground.

When Noland Lee saw this scene, the corner of his mouth twitched.

The reason was simple…

Everything he had seen earlier with “Mind View” — the synthetic humans, neutrino communicator, miniature cold nuclear fusion reactor, and so on — had all been ground to dust by the reactor explosion, leaving no intact parts behind.

Even the ring casing of the reactor didn’t escape this fate, let alone the chips, cables, metal joints, artificial flesh, and other elements inside the synthetic humanoid bodies.

It was incredibly difficult to reconstruct the real explosion scene through the remaining broken parts.

Noland Lee and Denise landed at the edge of the hemispherical crater.

A Light Wizard wearing a pale gold mask greeted them.

“You must be the only male wizard in the ‘Silent Maiden’…”

The man’s gaze passed through the two gaps in his mask, briefly sizing up Noland Lee before reaching out to speak:

“I am a Three-Ring Luminescent Wizard, Bella Langton. It’s an honor to meet you and your companion witch, Noland Lee Jarvis. You are truly enviable. If the Ulnas Enquirer’s reporters found out, it would definitely become headline news.”

“Hello, Langton.” Noland Lee shook hands with the man.

The Three-Ring Luminescent Wizard shook his hand and said calmly:

“Oh, no, please call me Bella. Due to my family’s reasons, I cannot communicate with others using my last name before I become a Sixth Ring Luminescent Wizard. So, please address me by my first name.”

Bella didn’t dwell on the issue of addressing him and gestured with his arm around the hemispherical crater beside him:

“You see, the dangerous explosion earlier was absorbed by the ‘Ring of Tranquility,’ but it still left an indelible scar on this ship. Our job here is simple: collect all things that do not belong to this ship.”

Bella took out a tiny crystal fragment from a magic pouch.

This crystal shard was transparent, with fine, tiny white patterns inside.

Noland Lee knew this came from some chip inside the synthetic human’s body.

While maintaining his outward persona, he pretended to be curious and observed:

“What is this…”

“I’m not quite sure, perhaps it’s some sort of novel creation based on magical runes,” said Bella.

Bella handed over the magic pouch and the crystal shard at the same time:

“This magic pouch is specially designed for storing samples. You must put all suspicious items into the sample pocket. Do not use magic or magic servants to collect samples. The energy fluctuations of magic may damage the samples or cause unknown changes. Magic servants can also cause such reactions. Remember, the most reliable way to collect samples is with your hands, while wearing protective gloves. Your gloves are in the sample pouch.”
