Chapter 628: 201. Cutting Wood and Attacking Fortresses_3
Compared to the Farm-style operation of speedrunning bounty missions, the operation of establishing a friendly relationship with powerful wizard forces is more fortified.
Once the latter is successful, Noland Lee will bring about a qualitative change in the human resources aspect. This kind of change can save a lot of trouble and can also speed up the accumulation of primitive capital.
Noland is quite looking forward to his first meeting with the Pangula Family.
“I’ll just wait for the invitation letter to visit them. Hopefully, the Pangula family member who wants to meet me doesn’t have too strong of a status within the family, otherwise, I might have some difficulty dealing with them.”
Noland shook his head slightly, calmed his heart, and flew towards the magic ocean currents.
He called up the deconstruction results of six arrest warrants in his mind and quickly scanned the content on the arrest warrants.
When he returned to the Inner Circle through the magic ocean current, he had already chosen his first bounty target.
“Liturte, an Inferior Wizard Criminal, a Three-ring Deep Sea Combat Wizard, with a bounty of 130,000 gold coins. His deep-sea magic comes from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. He was involved the disappearance of two fishing boats and the poisoning of three coastal ecological farms. His crimes deserve death, but he has some interrogation value, and might pry out information of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. Capturing him alive could get 100% of the bounty. Turning in the corpse would only get 20% of the bounty.
“So should I capture him alive or turn in his corpse?”
“Hmm… I’d rather choose to turn in the corpse. Even though the bounty on hand will be less, it will save me a lot of trouble. After all, I use mental magic in the process of capturing criminals, and if I let a wizard criminal who knows that I can use mental magic live, it will bring me a lot of trouble.”
Noland closed the deconstruction results of the other five arrest warrants in his mind, leaving only Liturte’s arrest warrant.
After arriving at the Inner Circle, he took a magical taxi to the edge of the Inner Circle, then cast a flight spell to enter the islands of the Outer Ring.
When he entered the Outer Ring, Noland followed the information provided in the arrest warrant and hovered near an island controlled by the Ocean Fishery Company.
The information said that the wanted criminal named Liturte had appeared on this island four days ago.
At that time, he was trying to poison the fishing grounds and was quickly discovered by the duty wizard.
After injuring the duty wizard, he cast a deep-sea spell, submerged to the sea surface, and vanished.
Tracking such a fugitive who has been on the run for four days is not easy, as no one knows where he went or where his next crime scene will be.
But that’s for ordinary enforcement wizards.
Noland first made a show of checking the crime scene, indicating that he had been there.
Then, he returned to the Island Affairs Department and took the poison bottle found at the crime scene.
The Island Affairs Department will conduct a preliminary appraisal of the items involved in the case and record the appraisal results in the form of an appraisal report.
Noland briefly scanned the content of the report, which mentioned that the style and craftsmanship of the poison bottle were from the Kashel Continent.
The report writer speculated that Liturte had bought the poison from a deep-sea merchant on the Kashel Continent and suggested that the enforcers investigate by starting with the deep-sea merchants.
Noland didn’t care about the appraisal results on the report.
He looked at the poison bottle sealed in a transparent glass container, cast a Deconstruction Technique, used 10 points of energy, and obtained the deconstruction results of the poison bottle.
The System Feedback Message showed:
The poison bottle was made in a magic glass workshop on an island in the Outer Circle of the Suman Archipelago. This is completely different from the speculation in the appraisal report.
Investigating according to the content of the appraisal report, it would be a miracle to find Liturte.
Noland didn’t want to waste time.
He flew directly over the Magic Glass Workshop and used Deconstruction Technique to obtain the “identity” column of each person.
As luck would have it, Liturte, disguised as a workshop worker, was mingling among them, resting with a group of workers under a sunshade.
