Chapter 854: 267. Foolish and cunning

Day Two at dusk.

On an isle within the Inner Circle.

An Illusion Forest crafted by magic concealed the figures of Noland Lee and Mira Faar.

An Anti-detection Magic Barrier erased all energy fluctuations, thoroughly covering their tracks.

The two were sitting in the Illusion Forest, sipping tea while admiring the setting sun sinking into the sea, as they looked towards the three islands of Dickler Fegan.

“Thank you for your assistance on the sea, Mr. Jarvis,”

Mira Faar said with a sincere smile and a respectful tone.

She did not disregard him because of the First Rank Wizard Magic Robe he was wearing.

A Saint Level Mind Wizard who possessed powerful thunder and lightning spells, and could command Selena.

The combination of these three aspects made it sufficient for Mira Faar to treat Noland Lee as a Saint Wizard, even though he only held the status of a First Rank Wizard in public.

Another halo around Noland charmed as well.

When he met with Mira Faar, his face was adorned with the Silent Enforcer’s Mask.

Mira Faar recognized the origin of the mask—it was from the Silent Maiden that only recruited witches.

A male wizard joining a wizard force that only recruited witches, what was going on…

Mira Faar curiously surveyed Noland’s profile, her gaze sweeping past the adam’s apple on his throat.

Noland detected the gaze from the deeply skilled witch.

“Mira, you can just call me Jarvis,” Noland chuckled and asked,

“The Task the ‘Blazing Queen’ assigned to you was somewhat thorny, wasn’t it? You must have faced numerous obstacles while investigating the true cause of Sienna’s mother’s death. Not only would Dickler Fegan befuddle you with his slippery rhetoric, but Yorksim, who is one of the people privy to the information, would also avoid talking about it, or take the opportunity to extort money. However, the price Yorksim sets would definitely be unbearable for you.”

Noland turned his head to look at the thoughtful witch:

“Don’t ask me how I know so much about your investigative progress, Mira. The secret letter that Selena wrote to the ‘Blazing Queen’ was written at my behest. The clues obtained from Sienna’s housekeeper Keda were conveyed by me to Selena, and then sent by Selena to the ‘Blazing Queen’.”
