Constructing-Style Wizard - Chapter 489:
Chapter 489: 160. Preliminary transaction
The extraterrestrial space pollution invasion triggered by the Blood Sun Seal was terminated within 12 hours.
However, the turmoil and aftermath caused by this event lasted for several days.
As Noland Lee predicted, the Fissure Corridor experienced severe collapse. From the 30th underground layer to the layer where the Black City was located, all showed signs of broken wall bricks and collapsing corridors.
Fortunately, when the Alchemy Cathedral built the Fissure Corridor, they took into account this extreme situation. They used hard alchemy rock layers to separate the Lower Town’s foundation from the Fissure Corridor.
The entire foundation of the Lower Town was built on this alchemy rock layer, without directly connecting to the Fissure Corridor.
Because of this, the buildings in the Lower Town were spared from disaster.
The Pollution Zone was closed, and the Combat Alchemists moved the alchemy container sealing the “Winged Giant” to the Lower Town branch of the Alchemy Cathedral. Residents of each sector returned to their homes in the city. The various Alchemist Factions took on the task of repairing the corridor.
All post-war restoration work proceeded orderly and without incident.
Although the Alchemy Cathedral had differences with Elemental Judgment, Elemental Judgment did contribute its power to close the Pollution Zone. In the spirit of the Alchemy Cathedral, a considerable reward was sent to Elemental Judgment’s manor.
Elemental Judgment was responsible for distributing these rewards to the Wandering Wizards who assisted the Alchemy Cathedral in closing the Pollution Zone.
Three days had passed since the Pollution Zone closed.
On the morning of Day Four, Noland Lee was invited to Cat Society Manor.
Philia received him.
This Two-Ring Witch, who had never entered the Pollution Zone, had not heard Noland Lee’s specifics from her mentor.
When she received Noland Lee, she still maintained her usual friendly attitude.
However, there was a trace of worry between her eyebrows, and she no longer looked as lively as before.
“Ah, Ray Lee. We’re moving away from Union City.”
In the sun-filled manor corridor, Philia walked slowly and spoke softly:
“My teacher said that she had an irreconcilable conflict with the Alchemy Cathedral in the Pollution Zone. The First Level Magic Research Institute set up by Elemental Judgment here will be withdrawn within a month. All of us will follow the teacher and leave for the Ulnas Circle.”
Noland Lee walked and asked:
“I remember that there are quite a few Wizard Students here, right? And they should all be local to Union City. Are you willing to leave here and go to the Ulnas Circle?”
Philia shrugged her shoulders and sighed lightly:
“There is no choice. Even if we cannot let go of our family and friends here, we must leave Union City. According to the contract signed by Elemental Judgment and the Alchemy Cathedral, once a local person becomes a Wizard Student of Elemental Judgment, they are automatically regarded as leaving the Golden Federation. Unless we voluntarily give up our Wizard identities and join the Alchemist Faction, we cannot stay here in Union City.”
Philia stopped by the brightly painted window, looking at the colorful patterns on the glass and said:
“I asked my teacher. After leaving Union City, we must be promoted to Third-Ring Wizards in the Ulnas Circle before we can leave. So, this departure, for a wizard student like me who is not very talented, it might be several years before I can see my parents again.”
Noland Lee was silent, nodded, and did not say much.
Regarding the matter of the Wizard Students like Philia and Betty Davis who were soon to be separated from their loved ones for a long time, Noland Lee really couldn’t find any good method to comfort them.
Just let Philia and Betty adjust by themselves.
“Let’s not talk about this.” Philia came back to her senses and squeezed out a smile at Noland Lee:
“Follow me, we’re going to my teacher’s study. She will give you the reward, and we will discuss some matters in the meantime.”
Philia led the way in front, and Noland Lee followed half a step behind her.
The two followed the spiral staircase to the second floor of the castle and entered a spacious and comfortable study room.
After bringing Noland Lee into the room, Philia left by herself.
In the study, Noland Lee sat down at Mabel’s invitation.
Many documents were piled up on Mabel’s desk. It seemed that she was busy preparing for the relocation.
During the conversation with Noland Lee, Mabel’s magic pens maintained their working status, constantly writing documents, correcting reports, or writing letters.
“When the Alchemy Cathedral discussed the reward with me, I asked them to exchange Union Coins for gold. Gold is one of the raw materials for making Ulnas Gold Coins. Although it is not as valuable as Ulnas Gold Coins, it is better than Union Coins. I hope you don’t mind that I took the liberty to exchange the rewards into gold.”
Mabel snapped her fingers, letting the magic servants in the room bring a metal box and place it in front of Noland Lee.
The lid of the box was opened, and five finger-sized gold bars appeared before Noland Lee’s eyes.
Noland Lee used Deconstruction to check. The total weight of the five gold bars was precisely 1000 grams. Not more or less, each was exactly 200 grams. The quality of the gold bars was excellent, 99.999% pure.
Ulnas Gold Coins are magical creations, with gold as the main material, and secret-level magic materials added.
The exchange rate of gold to Ulnas Gold Coins is basically fixed. Every 100 grams of gold can be exchanged for 50 gold coins. The exchange ratio varies slightly depending on the quality and quantity of gold bars.
The 1000 grams of gold bars in front of him were worth 500 Ulnas Gold Coins.
Compared to the 150,000 gold coins needed for the Island project, these 500 gold coins were insignificant, but when exchanged into Union Coins in Union City, their value would be astronomical.
Noland Lee closed the metal box, put it in his pocket, and nodded with a smile, saying:
