Constructing-Style Wizard - Chapter 630
Chapter 630: 202. Chief Consultant_2
This harvest could be perfectly described as making a bloody fortune.
Noland Lee really wanted to continue doing this kind of work.
Unfortunately, the Dread Sail Pirate Nation had already received a tip-off, and they had noticed the news of the consecutive deaths of six peripheral members.
When Noland Lee was tracking the sixth criminal, the guy had already boarded a merchant ship sailing away from the Suman Archipelago, planning to go to the Kashel Continent to lay low.
If it weren’t for Noland Lee’s swift action, the guy might have really escaped.
Fortunately, Noland Lee successfully stopped him.
From the memory fragments obtained through Passive Deconstruction, it could be seen that the criminal received a warning from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. That’s why he embarked on the journey to lay low.
And the interesting thing was that the way he contacted the Dread Sail Pirate Nation was the same as that of a Legal Wizard – through spirit communication to face-to-face exchange with the Dread Sail professor.
Of course, “Dread Sail Professor” was not the official term. Within the Dread Sail Pirate Nation, the position of Professor was called something else. Noland Lee hadn’t obtained any information about this yet but knew that such people existed.
Given the current situation, Noland Lee would have to lie low for a while before he could find the next batch of wanted pirates causing trouble in the Suman Archipelago.
Alternatively, he could adjust the screening criteria to target criminals with Five or Six Rings of combat strength.
However, it would be a bit difficult to instantly kill such opponents, which did not meet Noland Lee’s definition of “Farm strategy.”
“Jenela, I’m going to take some time off,” Noland Lee said:
“As soon as there is news of the wanted criminals and bounty tasks that I need, notify me immediately.”
“Alright, Mr. Jarvis.” Jenela was not disappointed when faced with Noland Lee, who was going on vacation.
She knew the situation in the Suman Archipelago. In no more than two or three days, wanted criminals and bounty tasks that met Noland Lee’s requirements would appear.
There was no way around it, considering the massive flow of people here.
“I have a favor to ask of you.” Noland Lee divided 100,000 gold coins from the coins on the table and put them in front of Jenela:
“I need to rent a Stone House in the Visitor’s Area of the Core Circle for a long time. These 100,000 gold coins are for one year’s rent. You help me contact the Deep Sea Branch.”
“No problem,” Jenela found a pen and paper, wrote a receipt for Noland Lee:
“After I arrange a Stone House in the Visitor’s Area, I will bring you the lease contract and the key to the house.”
“Okay, that’s it for now.” Noland Lee swept the remaining money and receipt into his Magic Pouch.
Before Noland Lee could get up to leave, Jenela stopped him:
“Wait, several people asked me to pass on a message to you.”
“Oh? What is it?” Noland Lee stopped getting up.
“You’re quite famous now, Mr. Jarvis,” Jenela said with a smile:
“Your efficiency and methods have caught the attention of some people. They’ve been asking me and Miss Selena Williams about you, trying to see which wizard forces you belong to, possessing such outstanding law enforcement capabilities. It must be said that although your Wizard Ring Level is not high, it’s already enough to enter the sights of certain forces.”
Noland Lee considered for a moment:
“Let me guess, the forces you mentioned should include the Pangula Family, right?”
“Yes, Mr. Jarvis,” Jenela counted on her fingers:
“The Pangula Family is only one of them, one of the most powerful wizard forces in the rock and soil series and Metal System; they have significant influence in the Suman Archipelago.
“In addition to the Pangula Family, the Mantas Family that controls the Magic Items Exchange, the Haidel Family that controls the largest shipyard and the most docks in the archipelago, the Charnel Family that controls the Kashel Ocean Route from the archipelago to the Kashel Continent–these three families are also inquiring about you. Some of the bounty tasks you took earlier were more or less connected to these families.”
Noland Lee nodded slowly.
He had anticipated this situation.
As a person who takes one step at a time and looks three steps ahead, he had already made sufficient contingency plans and preparations for dealing with the attention of various families.
“Why are these families inquiring about me?” Noland Lee asked knowingly.
“Of course, to have you serve as a Family Advisor,” Jenela rummaged through her drawer, pulled out a few invitation letters, and placed them in front of Noland Lee.
Family Advisor, yes, that’s just as I expected… Noland Lee thought to himself, the situation was developing according to his plan.
A Family Advisor is a non-family wizard who provides magical advice in a specific field to the head of the family.
The essence of a Family Advisor’s work is to provide advice. If their help is needed, the reward will be calculated separately.
This role has obvious benefits for Noland Lee.
First, a Family Advisor’s relationship with the family is not a strong attachment. Noland Lee can end the advisory contract with the family at any time.
Moreover, a Family Advisor can audit the internal meetings of the head of the family.
Noland Lee didn’t care about the content of the meetings; what he wanted were opportunities to interact with the core personnel of various families.
By doing this, he could acquire a massive amount of information through the Deconstruction Technique, particularly the kind of information containing tremendous wealth and extraordinary power.
Finally, providing advice as a Family Advisor does not mean selling knowledge.
Most of the time, a Family Advisor only needs to provide opinions without explaining the reasons behind them. This fits well with Noland Lee because many of his judgments are made through Deconstruction Results, which are difficult to explain to others.
There are drawbacks to becoming a Family Advisor, but Noland Lee has already considered a plan to deal with them.
