Chapter 840: 264. Mira’s Dilemma

Selena, acting as a secretary, handled everything very proficiently.

After sending Noland Lee the guest list for the banquet at sea, she also sent over the lists of treasure hunting fleets from the Hayden and Charnel families.

With these lists in hand, a tour around Subsea No.13 would allow for the identification and matching of ships and passengers.

The only person worth Noland Lee’s attention was one individual,

That was Mira Faar, whom he and Denise Green had mentioned.

This dark-skinned fire witch possessed the strength of a Seventh Ring Combat Wizard on land.

But at sea, her combat capability declined by at least 20%.

If the battle were to move underwater, her strength would be, at best, only 10%.

Noland had already chosen this witch to aid Sienna Nobus, and he could not let her meet her end here.

Noland guessed the reason for Mira Faar’s attendance at the banquet at sea.

If he was right, the witch would discretely converse with the banquet’s host, Yorksim, to inquire about the true circumstances behind Mother of Sienna’s tragic death.

This was a significant task given to Mira Faar by the “Blazing Queen.”

After deep consideration and weighing numerous plans, Noland ultimately decided on a strategy: “to lend a hand just before Mira Faar finds herself in a dire situation.”

As for scenarios like “Taking center stage and embarking on a massacre, showing holiness in front of everyone,” truthfully, Noland hadn’t even considered such high-profile actions before vetoing them.

The only ones who would witness his prowess in non-death spells—like mental magic, thunder and lightning magic, etc.—could only be two types.

One type includes trustworthy collaborators like Denise and Selena.

The other type, those who could no longer speak: the dead.

Since Noland wouldn’t actively kill any of the treasure hunters to prevent his secrets from leaking, naturally, he would not indulge in such public shows of power.

“Meow~~” The Snow-winged Cat landed on Noland’s shoulder as he contemplated his strategy and rubbed against his cheek.

Noland scratched the fluffy cheek of the Snow-winged Cat and took out a new letter from the cat’s Magic Pouch.

“These treasure hunters at sea really are fearless…”

As he read the characters on the letter, Noland couldn’t help but comment.

Denise leaned over, glanced at the letter, and disdainfully “ehh-ed.”

In the letter, Selena stated:

The Deep Sea Branch had informed the treasure hunting fleets lingering in the southern seabed of the Starfall Sea about the presence of sea monsters and advised them to promptly return to the Suman Archipelago.

Regrettably, only the fleets that realized they couldn’t obtain any treasure left; the fleets from the three prominent families kindly turned down Selena’s suggestion with various reasons.

They had informed Selena that their fleets were now all gathered above Subsea No.13, their presence nearly filling up the sea surface of the entire subsea region.

With so many experienced wizards at sea, they believed they could handle pirates should they encounter any.

Besides, they had set up a magic block net underwater.
