Translator: 549690339

At the same time when Noland Lee was running around collecting alchemy materials, Philia came to another building with a faint look of worry, knocking on one of the room doors. “Knock, knock, knock…”

“Come in, Philia.”

A gracious female voice came from inside the room.

Philia pushed the door open, seeing a woman reading a newspaper under the afternoon sunlight.

If Noland Lee were here, he would recognize this woman instantly. This was the noblewoman who introduced the “Sleeping Monument Master” magic mark to Philia, her mentor.

Even in the crowded, polluted Lower Town, this noblewoman’s appearance and demeanor still stood out.

In her room, there were alchemy plants arranged to absorb noise and air pollution, which protected her from haze and workshop noises and maintained

“Teacher, Ray Lee just came by. I bought seven black bone pieces and one piece of information about the Blackbone Hermit from him…”

Philia closed the door gently and recounted her previous transactions:

…Ray Lee declined my invitation to track the Blackbone Hermit together. Teacher, we must find another Death Clan Wizard to help us, or use our own researched death-type magic artifact in advance. Otherwise, we could hardly harm the Blackbone Hermit with our extraordinary techniques alone.”

“Hmm, Philia, Ray Lee’s refusal to join us was within my expectations. The wizards under the ‘Sleeping Monument Master’ are like that, focusing only on their tasks and avoiding external interference.”

The noblewoman put down her newspaper, pushed her glasses up with her fair fingers, and said gently:

“Here’s what we’ll do, Philia. Our self-developed death-type magic artifact is still a bit undercooked and could potentially harm the user accidentally, so let’s invite other Death Clan Wizards to help us instead…” The noblewoman twirled her fingers in the air.

A register flew out of a drawer and floated in mid-air.

The pages of the register flipped slowly, and the noblewoman muttered:

“In the Lower Town of Union City, apart from Ray Lee, there should be seven other Death Clan Wizards. Two of them are observers placed here by the Death Herald Guild. Excluding them, there are five Death Clan Wizards left; only the

Soul Shapers’ subordinates are relatively easy to get along with.”

A sheet of paper flew out of the register and floated into Philia’s hands.

Philia read it silently:

“Hickman Arlington, a wandering wizard of the ‘Soul Shaper,’ is researching the possibility of capturing the souls of aberrations and shaping them into aberration soul beasts…”

Philia looked up, a hint of confusion in her eyes:

“Teacher, this wizard seems to be fond of playing with souls and is not a kind person… Should we really cooperate with him?”

The noblewoman nodded slightly:

“Yes, Philia. This is our best choice. Hickman Arlington has only the strength of a first rank wizard, and both you and Sandra can easily control him. Although cooperating with him might be unpleasant, as long as you are careful and keep an eye on him, we can safely eliminate the Blackbone Hermit. The other wizards are stronger than you, so you cannot command them. Hickman Arlington is our only choice.”

“Alright, teacher, I’ll contact him right away.” Philia put the sheet of paper into her pocket.

The noblewoman said:

“There’s one more thing, Philia. I’ve been thinking that relying on Death Clan Wizards to help us deal with the Blackbone Hermit is not a sustainable solution.

“Here’s what we’ll do. After you meet with Hickman Arlington, go and find Ray Lee again, invite him to visit our manor, and see whether he is willing to help us improve our death-type magic artifacts.”

“Although Ray Lee may only have the strength of a first rank wizard, he is a wandering wizard of the ‘Sleeping Monument Master’ and has no conflicts of interest with us. His suggestions for improvements should be fair and effective, and he won’t have the intention to damage our magic artifacts on purpose.”

“So, don’t be stingy with money, Philia. As long as Ray Lee’s reward is not excessive, you can agree to it on the spot and pay him. As for the specific amount of the reward, you can calculate it yourself and have an idea in mind.”

“Yes, teacher, I got it.”

Philia took her leave.

With the door opening and closing, the room returned to its peaceful state.

The noblewoman retrieved the register and picked up her newspaper again.

“One-to-One Exchange” alchemy club.

Inside a small alchemy room on the third floor.

Noland Lee was leaning against a desk with his eyes closed and his eyebrows furrowed, as if experiencing some terrible memories.

The wall clock on the wall made a ticking sound as the second hand jumped with each pause.

As the dusk outside the window faded and night fell, a long sigh echoed in the room.

Noland Lee came out of his meditation, his eyes bright and clear.
