Chapter 766: 244. Start hunting

The confidential conversation that began in Selena’s study room continued until nine o’clock in the evening.

Lape Charnel personally examined Noland Lee’s “Omniscient” and was completely convinced.

In the entire Ulnas Circle, the number of wizards who possess the “Omniscient” can be counted on one hand, and it certainly won’t exceed five.

Except for Noland Lee, who is a First Rank Wizard, the other four have become Councilor-level Professors at least, possibly an Eighth Circle wizard.

It’s estimated that given enough time and growth space, Noland Lee becoming an Eighth Circle wizard and entering the Wizard Council is almost set in stone.

Lape Charnel’s mentality was changing.

He was gradually transitioning from being a family principal who was invited to discuss anti-pirate affairs to an investor betting on and investing in Noland Lee’s future.

Noland Lee perfectly grasped Lape Charnel’s mental shift, and timely asked Selena to bring out the pre-prepared Magic Contract Book.

On this Magic Contract Book, not only was the matter of helping the Charnel family find the spy mentioned, but also the matter of Noland Lee Jarvis and Selena establishing a friendship with the Charnel family.

As long as Lape Charnel signed the Magic Contract Book, Noland Lee will hold the position of the Charnel family advisor.

Why is Noland Lee so concerned about a wizard family involved in trade?

This has to do with his experiences before crossing over.

The price of commodities, especially the price of industrial raw materials, can directly reflect the direction of certain regions or the whole world.

For example, the price of natural rubber.

Without a natural disaster causing an unexpected reduction in natural rubber, if the price of natural rubber futures suddenly rises and the transaction volume is huge, it generally signals one thing:

The production of metal minerals is about to soar.

How can the price change of natural rubber be related to copper production?

The answer is:

Transporting metal minerals causes a huge wear and tear on tires. The working environment for mining vehicles is very rough, causing an amazing amount of tire consumption, leading to transportation costs accounting for 10% to 20% of the total mining costs for copper.

This was one of the market phenomena Noland Lee observed before crossing over.

Lape Charnel himself also mentioned that the family has lots of sensitive information.

Changes in the price of such raw materials, are one of the sensitive information he referred to.

Learning about raw material prices is the first reason why Noland Lee is interested in the Charnel family.

The second reason is that the Charnel family controls critical “transportation data”.
