Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 736: 234. Do it quietly_3

The next best scenario is that the Deep Sea Branch locates the settlement, sends Vipa there, and does not cause conflict with the other clan.

If it doesn’t work out…

They could only temporarily settle Vipa in the Core Circle.

The Deep Sea Branch, which is fascinated by merfolk magic, would hardly refuse such a special guest.

The sea outside the magic yacht welcomes the evening darkness.

By now, the setting sun has sunk into the seabed, with stars and a bright moon appearing in the sky.

Noland Lee and Hadley Grant decided to rest underwater for the night and return at dawn the next day.

If all goes well, Vipa could reach the Deep Sea Branch in less than 20 hours and enjoy Selena’s personal treatment.

Hadley went to the control room to check the equipment on the magic yacht.

Vipa followed Hadley’s lead and entered the guest room that Hadley vacated for her,

She shrank into the floating sea shell and closed it. She didn’t know whether she was resting or mourning her parents in sadness.

Noland Lee had no intention of sleeping, as he still had important things to do.

He didn’t forget about the Tide Spy who would be coming to the Cave of Spreading Moss for surveillance handover around evening.

According to the “Monitoring Plan of the Cave of Spreading Moss,” another Tide Spy would appear in about ten minutes.

Noland Lee sat down in his guest room, activated the “Mind Beacon” near the entrance to the Blue Cave, and cast “Mind View.”

The magic vision unfolded before him, and he couldn’t help but shake his head at the dark environment.

In the entire magic vision, only the area near the Cave of Spreading Moss had some dim light, thanks to the glowing moss.

In such a situation, it would be quite challenging to find the invisible Tide Spy.

Noland Lee calmed himself and continuously tossed out dozens of “Mental Beacons,” distributing them evenly around the magic yacht.

A surveillance network covering an area of 5 kilometers was set up on the spot by Noland Lee.

As time went by, Noland Lee kept switching the magic vision of each “Mental Beacon,” striving to detect the trace of the Tide Spy as soon as possible.

“Knock knock knock…” The sound of knocking on the door came, followed by a naive voice:

“Ya ya ya~ (Is anyone here?)”

Noland Lee turned to look at the door and opened it with the “Mage’s Hand.”

Mermaid Vivian entered the room with a curious gaze, saw that Noland Lee’s guest room was no different from her own, and chatted with Noland Lee in her language.

Noland Lee raised an eyebrow:

“You discovered a group of malicious sea monsters?”

“Ya ya, ya! Ya ya ya! (Yes, right next to this boat! They’ve been watching our boat!)”

Noland Lee immediately turned off “Mind View” and activated “Life and Death Tracking” instead.

Upon looking, he was slightly surprised!

At some unknown point, seven sea monsters with long, slender snake tails had sneaked near the magic yacht!

At the same time, Noland Lee could only maintain one kind of magic vision.

He had been using “Mind View” and deconstruction technique to observe the surroundings until now when he switched to “Life and Death Tracking” and noticed the nearby sea monsters.

It seemed that these invisible guys had taken advantage of the gaps in Noland Lee’s “Mind View” patrols and sneaked over stealthily.

Vipa saw Noland Lee’s eyes turn black, and his expression became serious, guessing that Noland Lee had discovered the whereabouts of the sea monsters using some magic.

“Ya Ya Ya? (What do we do now?)” Vipa asked.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Noland Lee narrowed his eyes slightly, observed the sea monsters for a moment. The other party seemed to have just sensed the presence of invisible objects in the water, but had not yet figured out the origin of the invisible objects.

That is to say, the magic yacht has not yet been fully exposed.

It is estimated that the magic yacht would only be exposed in front of the sea monsters when they try to attack.

Noland Lee launched a deconstruction technique towards one of the sea serpents.

[System Message:]

…

“Tide Hunter…” Noland Lee muttered softly, tossing the Deconstruction Technique at the other six sea monsters.

One of them was the Tide Spy he had been waiting for half an hour.

“Ah, I see. It must be because the Tide Spy that I killed earlier with ‘Psychic Bombardment’ failed to complete his task, which alerted the current Tide Spy. Knowing that something was wrong, he called for backup.”

Noland secretly speculated, glancing at Vipa beside him, and then at Hadley Grant, who was getting up from bed through the wall.

With these two around, Lee was somewhat restricted.

He had originally planned to kill the Tide Spy without alarming Vipa and Hadley.

Now, however, he couldn’t do that.

“If only I had some thunderbolt grenades left, I could distract the two of them, quietly charge the thunderbolt grenades, and then blast all the sea monsters outside. Unfortunately, I used all the thunderbolt grenades on the Sea Serpent Leader. Wait, there’s still one more unused Mechanos.”

Noland slapped his head, remembering the Mechanos he had concocted before setting sail.

He always made meticulous plans before taking action, preparing for various scenarios and difficult problems.

For example, how to cover the fact that he killed his enemies in an instant with ‘Psychic Bombardment’, Noland had considered this before.

He reached for the back of his left hand, took out a dozen round metal balls, and lined them up on the table.

This metal-ball-shaped Mechanos had been used by Noland during his duels in the Barron Arena.

It was disposable.

Once activated, it would crack open, revealing the High Sound Array inside, and disturb the enemy with extremely sharp and piercing noises.

This was a means of attacking the enemy with sound waves.

With this spherical Mechanos, Noland could cover up the head-exploding effect of ‘Psychic Bombardment’ with a certain sound wave magic.

Noland named this spherical Mechanos ‘Sound Wave Puppet’ for convenience and easy memory.

At this moment, Hadley Grant tiptoed towards Noland’s room, whispering as he went:

“Jarvis…Jarvis…something’s wrong outside. The seawater is stirred by something, and there’s some disturbance in the Deep Sea Magic Power… I’ve detected traces of Sea Monsters.”

As he stepped through the door, Hadley saw Vipa and the metal balls on Noland’s table :

“Uh? What are you guys doing?”

“We also found those ‘Guests’, Hadley.” Noland looked at the door, pointing at his dark eyes :

“I’ve activated ‘Life and Death Tracking’, and can see those seven sneaky Sea Serpents.”

“Your detection methods are truly powerful… So, what should we do now?”

Convinced by Noland’s series of performances, Grant had completely forgotten that he was the Captain responsible for providing all-round security services.

Noland made a silencing gesture :

“Shh… Keep quiet. Wait for me to prepare these alchemy items and catch all those sea monsters in one fell swoop. I have a feeling that they might be after the Merfolk.”

Hadley nodded, taking out a two-handed magic wand made of seabed rock from his Magic Pouch, ready for battle.

Noland adjusted the metal balls while using pen and paper to inform Vipa of the situation.

After “listening” to his analysis, Vipa thought for a moment and quickly nodded her head :

“Ya ya ya, ya ya, ya! (My people indeed discovered traces of sea monsters while scouting the Sea Serpent Nest, these guys must have been observing us for a long time!)”

Noland used the pen and paper to ask about the connections with the “Dread Sail Pirate Nation”, trying to see if there was any information about this evil force among the Merfolk.

Vipa stared blankly at Noland.

Having not been born long ago, she obviously hadn’t learned about the “Dread Sail Pirate Nation” from her deceased parents.

Noland immediately gave up the idea of asking her about it.
