Chapter 247:114. Legacy of the Black Bone

Translator: 549690339

Not even the name “Coudal” was revealed by Noland Lee.

That’s because there was no identity information of the Blackbone Hermit on the spoils of war he collected.

“…That’s how it happened, Philia. I didn’t initially connect the Black City alchemist with the Blackbone Hermit you mentioned. It wasn’t until I saw him split into ten black bone pieces that I realized this was the Blackbone Hermit you were looking for.”

Noland picked up the teacup and moistened his throat with the warm tea.

Philia pondered for a moment and asked:

“Are you willing to sell the seven black bone pieces you brought to us? The Alchemy Cathedral has issued an arrest warrant for the Blackbone Hermit. For each black bone piece handed over, the Alchemy Cathedral will reward 10,000 coins. If you sell them to us, we are willing to pay double the amount, that is, 20,000 coins for each black bone piece. Seven black bone pieces would amount to 140,000 coins. Including the 10,000 coin reward for providing the clue, you can get a total of 150,000 coins. What do you think?”

“It’s a good deal, and I see no need to refuse.” Noland laughed, then, with a change of tone, asked in confusion:

“Philia, there’s something I don’t quite understand. The Blackbone Hermit should be a living alchemist, right? Why are you interested in them? And why are you willing to spend a lot of money to buy these black bone pieces at a higher price? …Of course, if it involves secrets, you don’t need to explain, I was being presumptuous. ”

Philia slightly raised her shoulders and said with a light sigh:

“Actually, there’s nothing that can’t be said. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but these black bone pieces are not only hard in material, can withstand bullets but also have excellent elemental resistance.”

Noland had a thought and called up Coudal’s panel information for a look. He immediately understood the problem.

[Coudal’s Feature]

Sturdy Blackbone:

Whether in bone piece form or human form, Coudal has no less than 80% elemental and kinetic resistance.

He can be immune to most elemental states, such as burning, electrosensitivity, paralysis, poisoning, etc., and can deflect most projectiles.

This feature appeared on the panel information only after Noland killed Coudal.

Now that he thought about it, the fact that Noland could kill Coudal actually had some element of luck.

That’s because the energy released by the Evil Blast was Death Energy, not the four elemental energies of water, wind, earth, and fire, nor the kinetic energy caused by bullets.

Coudal’s Blackbone Body had no extra resistance bonus against Death Energy, so it was naturally wiped out by the Evil Blast.

“Indeed, it seems to be the case.” Noland pretended to think and said:

“My regular methods couldn’t hurt the Blackbone Hermit. In desperation, I used my trump card, and that’s how I managed to take him down. Now that I think about it, you’re right. The resistance of the black bone pieces is excellent.”

“Yes, it’s this point that caught our attention.” Philia nodded:

“We found that the bone pieces used by the Blackbone Hermit can effectively block flames and electric shocks, and have a good defense against toxins and wind blades. Legal alchemists mainly use fire, electricity, poison, and wind, these four types of attack methods. The black bone pieces can effectively counteract these methods. Our Elemental Judgement attacks are similar and are also restrained by the black bone pieces.”

“So you want to study the black bone pieces in depth and find a solution, right?”

“Yes.” Philia blinked and added a few more sentences:

“If you have any other black bone pieces, we will also buy them at a price of 20,000 coins each. In addition, if you’re willing, we’d like to invite you to join us in hunting the Blackbone Hermit in the Fissure Corridor during Spray Powder Day and in the days to come.”

“Well… I do have a few more black bone pieces. However, I plan to keep them as research materials.”

Noland didn’t give in just because of the beauty in front of him:

“As for cooperation, I’ll visit you if I have time.”

Noland pointed at the insect flute and metal box on the table and said:

“Do you need these two items?”

Philia shook her head slightly in response:

“We won’t be buying these two.”

“Oh, then this transaction is over.” Noland Lee clapped his hands, pushed the black bone pieces to Philia, and put the insect flute and metal box into his backpack.

Philia squeezed a ball of light from the green jade pendant and placed it on the tabletop.

The light of the ball dissipated, revealing a stack of coins.

Noland used Deconstruction to sweep through them, looked at the item names displayed in the system messages, and instantly completed the task of counting the money.

He smiled at Philia, didn’t count the money in front of her, and put the coins directly into his backpack, showing complete trust.

Philia stood up and escorted him to the shop entrance. Noland waved at her and merged into the crowd on the street.

150,000.

Hisss.

He suddenly got 150,000.

Theoretically, after returning to Iron Thorn Shield, he could pay the 100,000 coins to erase the alchemy mark on his thumb, becoming a free man not bound by Iron Thorn Shield and the Alchemy Contract.

But Noland Lee wasn’t in a hurry to do so.

First, he hadn’t completely studied the alchemy mark on his thumb. Erasing the mark prematurely meant losing research materials. This was a losing deal, and Noland wouldn’t do it.

Secondly, he had an urgent need and a specific plan for the 150,000 he had just acquired..
