Chapter 947: 295. Unkind, Unrighteous
“`
This was the reason why Noland Lee was willing to give Erica a larger share of the profits.
These matters Noland Lee had not yet discussed with Selena; he needed the right opportunity.
After dealing with Hadley Grant’s affairs, Noland Lee had Selena activate the Teleport function of the Miniature Ocean to transport him away from the Blackfold Sea.
By the time he returned to Island 33, it was already five o’clock in the early morning.
First, Noland entered his bedroom to do some Meditation before the fatigue was washed away, and only then did he go to the Court of Silence to find the Professor.
It took him half an hour to discuss and agree on the follow-up matters with Erica.
Next, patience was key.
The rigid demand of the Larolon Rockbone for non-metallic ores meant it was impossible for them to refuse Noland’s proposal.
But for the Larolon Rockbone to reach internal consensus, and then to negotiate the competition with the Fagen Lineage of the Pangula Family, it always took some time.
Generally speaking, it would take at least three days, or at most seven days, for the Fagen Lineage of the Pangula Family to send Dietrich Fegan to visit Miss Selena Williams again.
If beyond this period Dietrich still had not visited, it would indicate that there had been a change in circumstances, and Noland had to be fully prepared.
Time passed day by day in the Deconstruction Sea.
The Subsea Region chosen by Noland was one far from shipping lanes.
The one-kilometer-deep underwater environment was a forbidden zone for human beings.
Noland had been immersed in the water for several days without encountering any careless Wizards or Sea Monsters, but he did come across some starving Deep Sea Beasts.
To use Spells or fists to kill the Deep Sea Beasts that came looking for trouble was not wise.
Because blood, debris, and noise would attract more Deep Sea Beasts to “join in the fun.”
When encountering Deep Sea Beasts, Noland either used “sense tampering” to drive them away or relied on an Underwater Mechanism Elf enchanted with “Mental Illusion” to distract them.
He was also fortunate not to encounter a Magic Beast leader immune to Mental Magic.
The entire process of Passive Deconstruction of the Subsea Region was without danger or alarm.
Six days later.
While Noland was practicing the Deep Sea Scales Meditation with Denise in the dark sea water, Selena in the Core Circle welcomed the anticipated Guest.
Just as the last visit, Dietrich Fegan was accompanied by a Rock Bone Enforcer.
This Rock Bone Enforcer was none other than Paul Stone, whom Noland had poked in the kidney.
Selena, for the time being, was not aware that Noland and Paul Stone were on good terms.
As usual, she wrote two letters, one sent to Noland and the other requesting her older brother’s presence.
Once Lonco was seated next to Selena, the second meeting between the two parties officially began.
Compared to the tense atmosphere of the first meeting, this time the ambiance was much more relaxed.
