Chapter 1208: 381. Completely none_2

Atop the mountains, Noland Lee had built the simplest of houses using Earth Rock Magic and Mechanos.

Currently, these houses were just made of wood. After Nolin and the Mechanos had moved in, Noland would have Nolin help him construct the courtyard and building he had imagined.

Why not leave the construction of these houses to the Dusk Giants, the readily available labor force?

Ah, that was naturally due to the issue of size.

The houses Noland intended to build were meant for residents like himself and Denise Green—mankind.

To the Dusk Giants, such buildings were practically the size of ant hills.

Expecting a burly giant to hand-craft exquisite homes was even more challenging than if Noland were to do embroidery himself…

The Dusk Giant had spent seven natural world days to help Noland construct a sub-dimensional environment of clear mountains and fresh waters.

After he left, Noland Lee returned to the natural world to arrange for Denise, Nolin, and Nicolette to move.

They would take everything they could, including the alchemy platform needed to create Mechanos, the warehouse to store alchemy materials, the magic access meter for storing data, and so forth.

Everything that couldn’t be taken would have any traces of their presence wiped by Noland and then be scrapped or sealed away.

The hassle of moving was far greater than the Dusk Giant’s modification of the sub-dimensional plane. Noland had been busy commuting between the sub-dimensional plane and the natural world for nearly 30 days from the day he returned.

During this period, Noland also consulted with Selena.

According to the soul contract they had signed, once Noland owned a sub-dimensional plane, Selena would become his supervisor, managing the sub-dimensional plane for him.

However, since Selena had not yet “resigned” from the Deep Sea Branch, she could not stay in the sub-dimensional plane permanently, at most only occasionally popping over.

It would not be until her father, Mingwaq Pomida, agreed and Selena had fully handed over her duties to her successor that she could completely detach herself from the affairs of the natural world and peacefully settle in the sub-dimensional plane.

The key lay in the choice of Selena’s successor.

The most suitable replacement for Selena was Mingwaq Pomida’s sixth child, her brother Philip.

Philip was now 17 years old, and there was still a year left until he reached the age where, legally, he could act independently.

In Selena’s plan, she would train Philip to be her successor within a year, and then, on the day he assumed duty, she would “wash her hands of it” and leave.

Selena’s resignation in a year was something she was willing to do, and Philip also wanted to be the successor, but their father, Mingwaq Pomida’s attitude, was somewhat thought-provoking.

To keep the secret of Noland Lee obtaining a sub-dimensional plane, Selena did not use the excuse of joining Noland to resign to her father. Instead, she claimed she aimed to reach the Tenth-Ring Wizard, thus needing to rid herself of trivial distractions.

Mingwaq expressed neither approval nor disapproval, merely instructing Selena to arrange the handover well. Whether Selena could leave the Deep Sea Branch as she wished after the handover was still unknown.

Selena was somewhat worried about her father’s attitude.

First, she feared that her father would equate her departure with Noland Lee owning a sub-dimensional plane—indeed, the same day Selena proposed leaving, many undisguised Deep-sea Wizards appeared around Noland’s Island 33.

On the other hand, Selena always felt that something unexpected would occur within the year, such as someone anonymously reporting to the Department of Magic that Noland illegally owned a sub-dimensional plane and plane device. Such baseless accusations could only be cleared with the cooperation of the accused himself, which would inevitably involve Noland’s secrets.

The combination of these two factors considerably dampened the joy Selena felt for Noland finally owning a sub-dimensional plane.

Noland Lee had no good solutions for this and could only take things one step at a time.

Besides, he did not have much energy to ponder over Mingwaq’s issues.

His time was spent strengthening the sub-dimensional plane.

While he and the Dusk Giant were transforming the environment in the sub-dimensional plane, Clint “Windhawk” and Benjamin Jelani, who had lost their magic avatars in the maze space, secretly sent their wizards to investigate the true cause of their magic avatars’ demise.

Clint and Benjamin did not know what their magic avatars had experienced in the maze space, nor were they aware that the stargaze had now become Noland Lee’s sub-dimensional plane.

All they wanted to do was figure out why their magic avatars had perished.

The first person they approached was Severas Nabi, the Night Devotion’s Extraordinary Saint Wizard.

Inexplicably, Severas Nabi’s sub-dimensional plane “Frost Hair Blood Ring” had disappeared.
