Chapter 1017: 317. Magic Shadow Stabs with a Knife

Noland Lee looked out over the City of Exiles, hidden behind the stalagmites.

Having lost three Eighth Circle Combat Wizards in a row, the Upper District of the city must be getting restless by now.

Would the enemy that was about to appear be from the Nine Rings, or even Ten Rings?

Noland had originally thought so.

But now, he could only shake his head, dismissing that speculation.

After deconstructing Jeslow and the other, Noland discovered some interesting things from their memory fragments.

[Memory Fragment Five: “The Process of Receiving the VIPs of the Exile City”, Completeness: 30%]

This memory fragment was missing 70% of its content, mostly mosaics related to “blood” and “filth.”

The System erased these indescribable contents, which did not prevent Noland from understanding who the so-called “VIPs” were.

Noland actually found an “old acquaintance” of his—Main Lecturer of the Soul Sculpting Society·Gilbert Winchester.

Of course, the professor only sent his magic avatar and a group of students here.

He himself was still in the Sub-Dimensional Plane of the Soul Sculpting Society.

The black-robed people Xander saw were the Death Clan Wizards of the Soul Sculpting Society.

The things that the Soul Sculpting Society and the lord of the City of Exiles were planning meant that they could not leave the city for now, and could only continue to send out Eighth Circle Chief City Guard Wizards to their deaths.

As for what they were plotting…

Uh…

That’s kind of awkward.

Noland had not discovered this in the deconstruction results.

It seems only a Shadow Wizard of the Deputy Mayor’s level in the city could know the answer.

“I wonder if I’ll have the opportunity to deconstruct the Deputy Mayor of the City of Exiles…”

Noland thought to himself.

So far, his gains had been quite astonishing.

On one hand, the number of blueprints and Spell Blueprints involving shadow magic knowledge reached over thirty.

On the other, all the information on the shadow magic materials resource point distribution map and the location of the Magic Treasure Vault held by Hickman Arlington and the others had been fully recorded in Noland’s mind.

At a rough estimate, by emptying the Treasure Vault and the resource points, Noland would gain about 1.5 billion points of shadow energy and approximately three thousand cubic meters of shadow magic materials.

All these magic materials could be used to strengthen the “Shadow Cloak.”

Coincidentally, among the blueprints Noland obtained, there was the “Shadow Cloak.”

Once the materials were gathered and the Magic Circle for shaping the “Shadow Cloak” was engraved, Noland would be able to own this lifesaving artifact.

Regrettably, Noland was not yet able to absorb shadow energy on a large scale…
