Chapter 823: 260. Start the tough attack_3

“I’ve learned a lot.” Denise Green said earnestly:

“I feel like there’s so much I need to learn from Selena… just the figures and relationships within the wizard forces and the wizard families are enough to make my head swell.”

“Don’t worry, take it slow. If you find it too troublesome to learn on your own, I can infuse the knowledge into you with a spell.” Noland Lee replied.

“Hmm…” Denise pondered for a moment:

“I’d rather use my own brain to remember them. Selena managed to do it on her own, and I’m sure I can too.”

“Alright, alright, seeing you work so hard is reassuring.” Noland Lee laughed cheerfully.

Denise hugged Noland Lee’s arm and shook it:

“You’re not bad yourself, Noland. No wonder you are confident enough to buy an isle inside Core Circle. Today, I’ve finally seen your talent in socializing.”

“Hehe, do I look handsome?” Noland Lee chuckled.

“Handsome, handsome, handsome~” Denise waved her fair arms, the very image of an adoring little sister.

Their high spirits were watched by two silhouettes guarding the Study Room in the tower.

Lonco Pomida stood by the window, watching Noland Lee and his companion fade into the distance on a Public Vehicle.

He smiled bitterly and turned to Selena, who was also watching the two, saying:

“Even though their relationship is so intimate, do you still plan on getting involved, Selena? Ah, I just don’t understand. I thought you would be very cold towards Jarvis’s Companion Witch, but I couldn’t have imagined that your relationship with her would be so cordial…”

“Brother, you don’t understand.” Selena stared transfixed at Noland Lee’s retreating figure:

“I have lived this long; what kind of men haven’t I seen? Yet, I’ve always been single. Doesn’t this show that what I seek isn’t love or impulse?”

Lonco Pomida scratched his head:

“Then what are you after? I really can’t see what about Noland Lee Jarvis attracts you.”

Selena smiled and said:

“I’m after peace, brother. I seek peace. If Jarvis can take such good care of Denise, then naturally he can also take good care of me, giving me the peace I long for.”

“Peace? Hell, what a reason…” Lonco Pomida grimaced, grasping his hair in frustration:

“Speaking of peace, isn’t it better here at the Deep Sea Branch? Why follow Jarvis and manage that unsettled Sub-Dimensional Plane of his?

“No offense, Selena, but managing a Sub-Dimensional Plane for someone else isn’t reliable.

“If luck’s not on your side and you encounter demons or Grey Wizards invading the Sub-Dimensional Plane, Jarvis might not have a way to deal with them.

“In the end, wouldn’t you still need to seek help from the Deep Sea Branch? I actually think that Jarvis is deliberately getting close to you, just to use you as…”

“No, brother, don’t talk nonsense.” Selena straightened her face and interrupted Lonco Pomida:

“Just wait and see how Jarvis performs in the future. He will fulfill the promise he made to me.”

Lonco Pomida held back the words at the tip of his tongue and slapped his own head:

“…Fine, in the end, it seems I’m the one talking too much. But my agreement isn’t enough; father…”

“Jarvis will go persuade dad.” Selena said.

“Hmm, alright. Whatever you say, that’s how it will be.” Lonco Pomida waved his hand and turned away from the window, calling out as he left:

“Don’t just stand there, Selena. Call your sister over quickly. You should help her get familiar with Sidney’s duties as soon as possible, or else the academy’s administrative order will soon be in chaos.”

…

…

Noland Lee didn’t leave the Core Circle with Denise directly.

First, he dropped her off at the Stone House, then he entered the City of Suman in the Inner Circle on his own.

For this sea voyage, Noland Lee had made an advance payment to Hadley Grant, who owned an invisibility magic yacht.

He had arranged with Hadley to rent the magic yacht to go out to sea.

There was no need for Hadley to act as captain; Noland Lee could control the magic yacht by himself.

Hadley was cautious about this arrangement but agreed cheerfully to Noland Lee’s request after seeing the 300,000 deposit he put forward.
