Constructing-Style Wizard - Chapter 551:
Chapter 551: 178. Emergency Plan
After Mabel discovered Philia and Betty Davis each had a counterfeit coin, she realized something was off.
She left her suite and went to find the other wizard students to examine their gold coins.
Noland Lee stayed in Mabel’s study and entered a meditative state.
From the ultrasonic data, it was not difficult to see that the Dsmi series of synthetic humans had prepared a plan to eliminate and plunder the “natives” on the magic ship.
But there was one thing that Noland couldn’t quite figure out.
According to the impostor supervisor’s panel information, he, coded as “Dsmi-32 Species,” was a synthetic human designed for deep-space mining. Instead of searching for mineral treasures in the world of wizards, he was plotting to plunder “natives” on a magic ship, which seemed somewhat unprofessional…
Noland didn’t dwell on this issue for too long.
He decisively grabbed the Sword of Silence, channeled his soul energy into it, and entered the Court of Silence.
His consciousness flew upwards as a swirl of indigo-colored fumes approached.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the small classroom.
He pushed open the door of the classroom, stood in front of the professor’s study door, and knocked on the door panel.
This was not class time, so Erica would be writing magic books in her study or doing experiments in the Magic Laboratory.
Noland was in luck, as Erica didn’t go far. She quickly opened the door with the Mage’s Hand and let him in.
“What is it, Jarvis? Did you encounter a problem in your self-study?”
Erica pushed her glasses up on her nose, and her beautiful eyes carried a hint of a smile as if she was saying: “So you also get stumped by knowledge.”
“No, Professor, I came to you for a different matter. On the magic ship to the Suman Archipelago, I discovered a group of people with suspicious activities…”
Noland recounted the details and used the same wording as when he explained the matter to Denise Green.
Erica’s smile turned serious, and her fair face gradually became solemn.
As she listened, she controlled the magic servant to search for the filing cabinet in her study.
A stack of magic documents in metal boxes was brought to her desk by the magic servant.
“Your description reminds me of something, Jarvis. About 15 years ago, a magical ship was attacked in another deep-sea area. At the time, the captain of the magic ship sent a warning to the Wizard Enforcement Department and requested support.”
Erica took the magic documents out of the metal box, spread them out on the desk, and continued:
“The Wizard Enforcement Department immediately assembled a team of 10 combat wizards upon receiving the alarm. Just when the team was about to use the Teleportation Gate to go to the magic ship, the ship’s teleportation anchor point suddenly malfunctioned, and the gate failed to open normally. You see here…”
Erica pointed at a magic dynamic image with her fingertip. In the image, the sea surface was full of floating wreckage.
“By the time the fleet closest to the magic ship rushed in to provide support, the attacked ship had been shattered, with most of it gone and presumably sunk to the seabed. All crew members, passengers, and shopkeepers on the ship, including the captain, were killed.”
Erica picked up a magic document with several portraits() and sighed softly:
“There were eight wizards at the sixth ring and above on that ship at that time. One of them was the nine-circles strength captain, and the other seven were magic institution mentors and merchant team supervisors whose abilities ranged from six-ring to seventh-ring. All eight of these wizards were teleportation anchor points. Their disappearance and the anchor points’ disappearance coincided at the same time.
“Since there were no survivors or witnesses from that disaster, we still haven’t found out the truth. I have a feeling that the suspicious people you encountered on the magic ship may be related to the disaster 15 years ago. Because at the time, there was a small competition organization that traveled around on the magic ship. And before the incident, a Four-ring wizard mentioned to his mentor that the competition organization invited many wizards to perform magic on stage and pre-paid a sum of cash for each accepted wizard.”
Erica put down the magic document and raised her hand to gently touch her chin:
“There are few small competition organizations that would invite a large number of wizards to perform on stage all at once. Repetitive content is one reason. Another is that the pre-paid rewards are not a small amount, which would put financial pressure on small competition organizations.
“The fact that the same small competition organizations held events on magic ships and pre-payed cash for wizards to perform suggests that the situation on your magic ship, mirroring the events of 15 years ago, is no accident.”
Noland leaned over the desk and glanced at the magic documents on the desktop.
He sent out Deconstruction Techniques following his gaze and collected information from the magic documents.
Comparing the information gathered from the documents with that he had gathered from his observations of the impostor supervisor, Noland discovered many unusual details.
He made a table in his mind to compare the parameters of the two magical ships.
Several approximate data values appeared on the table.
For example, the specifications of the magical ship from 15 years ago were almost exactly the same as the one Noland was currently on.
Another example is that the number and composition of passengers on the magical ship from 15 years ago were remarkably similar to those on the one Noland was currently on.
