Chapter 789: 251. Mr. Big Stick

After visiting the alien devices that day, Noland Lee left Selena’s study late into the night.

That night, Noland learned from Selena about Hotams’ entire plan to erase the metal creations.

Hotams temporarily named this plan “Stone Grass”, with the implication of replacing metals with stone and wooden products.

The next evening, Noland Lee returned to Selena’s study to fulfill his promise.

He had prepared a travelogue-like discourse with “I have a friend” as the theme.

Through the perspective of his “friend”, he described to Selena what this “friend” had seen in the southern sea of the Spinning Continent.

Queen Isidora, the queen’s royal guards, the sea monster nobility system, slave soldiers, periodic trials of the sea monster nobility, the Dreadscale Elder, and so on,

To Selena, all these things that sounded like tales from another world, Noland picked the most interesting bits to share with her.

His tales were filled with detailed descriptions of the cultural customs of the Sirens’ Kingdom, frequently referencing nouns pronounced in Siren language.

All of these elements added to the credibility of his narrative.

Noland also mentioned the existence of Queen Isidora’s Magic Barrier to Selena.

This magic barrier was the final blow that plunged Selena into despair.

Selena had no reason to doubt the truth of Noland’s words.

For in the soul contract they signed, it was explicitly required for both parties to state the truth about what they know during transactions.

Noland could have intentionally withheld some information, but he absolutely couldn’t bluff Selena with false or misleading contents, otherwise he would incur punishment from the soul contract.

The fact proved that all he said was true; the soul contract did not punish him.

After repeatedly confirming the truth of all Noland’s’ statements, Selena was completely distraught. Her eyes were filled with confusion and difficulty, and she instantly lost the motivation to work.

In a rare move, she proposed to take a leave, avoiding all affairs and secluding herself in the bedroom of the Academy Castle.

Most of the time, truth can be more cruel than lies.

The magic barrier of Witch Isidora could forcibly take control of all sea water and deep sea magic power from the hands of the deep-sea wizards and hand it over to Queen Isidora.

Just because of this, the Sirens Kingdom would always have the upper hand.

On top of this, the stronger the Sirens Kingdom, the weaker the chances of the Deep Sea Branch winning become.

A legendary deep-sea magical beast, the Wildtide Elder with Ten-Ring combat strength, the sea monster slave soldiers with amazing breeding and growth rates, sea monsters that can match 6 or 7-ring combat wizards…

These shocking intelligence reports accumulated in Selena’s heart layer by layer.

She needed some quiet to find her own purpose in life.

Noland could understand Selena’s feelings.
