Chapter 963: 299. Dragon Clan Warning?_3
He responded to Lonco with a shifty attitude, intending to sound greedy for gold coins, and worked to portray himself in the other’s mind as a sly merchant who still had some Magic Scrolls but wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price.
After some cat-and-mouse haggling, Noland Lee successfully raised the selling price of each Magic Scroll from the initial 150 million gold coins to 300 million.
Lonco bought four Magic Scrolls in one go.
He kept one for himself.
The remaining three he would hand over to the Pure Light Court for them to provide samples for research into This Magic Spell.
In addition, the Pure Light Court also had to ensure victory for Lonco in the next seven wizard duels.
Out of the 1.2 billion gold coins for the Magic Scrolls, only the one for Lonco was paid for by himself, while the remaining three were funded by the Pure Light Court.
These details were written into the Magic Contract signed between Lonco and the Pure Light Court.
Noland Lee was well aware of this.
After pondering for a moment, he did not immediately send the Magic Scrolls to Lonco.
Using the excuse of “needing to prepare enchantment materials,” he postponed the delivery of the Magic Scrolls until before tomorrow’s duel began.
Only in this way could he make Lonco and the Pure Light Court believe that Noland Lee had to forcibly cast spells, resorting to Wild Magic on the spot.
As expected, Lonco guessed this was the case.
He sent Noland Lee a letter, feigning concern for Noland’s health, urging him not to aggravate the Psychic Trauma caused by Magic backlash.
Noland Lee, looking at the Letter Paper, smiled without uttering a word.
Thus far, he had successfully gained the upper hand in the first round of battle with the Pomida Family and the Pure Light Court.
However, Noland quickly reined in his smile and fell into contemplation.
When considering issues, he preferred to start from a pessimistic perspective.
In extreme circumstances, should the Pure Light Court become desperate, they would definitely lash out and find an excuse to forcefully invade Island 33.
By then, with the island’s Magical Facilities, it was estimated that they could keep the Light Wizards at bay.
But with a Sub-Dimensional Plane, everything would change.
All Noland needed to do was close the entrances to the Sub-Dimensional Plane to block the Light Wizards outside.
Unless they were willing to invest a substantial amount of Mana to forcibly break through the Boundary of the Sub-Dimensional Plane, they would have no way to enter it.
After all, it’s only with a chunk of Sub-Dimensional Plane that one can truly feel at ease, Noland mused lightly shaking his head.
Approaching evening, he called for Nolin and Nicolette to return to Ground Level.
The three of them enjoyed the Setting sun for a moment in the Living Room with floor-to-ceiling windows and welcomed the sumptuous Dinner prepared by Denise Green.
After a meal that left them full and satisfied, Nolin joined Nicolette to play, Denise retreated to meditate, and Noland conducted energy-shaping experiments Underground.
The Pitcher, modified by Nolin, performed much better than last time.
The energy-shaping scheme linked to it reduced its failure rate from a disastrous 75% to 35%.
The Magic product from a successful energy-shaping was still the thunder and lightning spell known as ‘fixed point thunderstorm technique’.
Noland depleted some Energy Points, attempting the shaping numerous times and successfully casting the ‘fixed point thunderstorm technique’ on multiple occasions.
The effects of This Magic Spell shook Noland to the core.
