Chapter 507: 165. Urgent Question_3

With 3000 points of energy consumed at once, Noland Lee extracted recent memory fragments from the other person.

Noland Lee casually sat and conversed, dividing a part of his attention to view these memory fragments.

A woman, one who makes Mabel somewhat uncomfortable, appears in a portion of the memories.

This woman is clad in metal armor, just like an iron bucket.

She is wearing a metal face shield that covers the lower half of her face. The upper half, not hidden by the metal, is lined with hard edges, scars from wind exposure, and remnants of injuries never healed over.

Her eyes are of a deep red color, extremely indifferent, sharp, and focused, as if nothing could divert her attention from hunting down wizard criminals.

She is bald – a rare sight among the witches – and this gives her the decisiveness and determination of a man.

There are no designs or inscriptions that signify status on her metal armor.

Only the magical treasure sword fluttering by her side reveals her identity.

Noland Lee immediately recognizes the origin of the sword.

The Sword of Silence.

A magical treasure sword imbued with the power of silent death.

This is a witch enforcer from the Silent Maiden.

This branch of necromancy extracts silent power from the sight of death after silence.

The exact principle of this magic power is known to none but its practitioners, but one thing is certain – the silent power inherently breaks laws, making it far more effective than the ‘Sunlight Technique’ of the Pure Light Court.

The ‘Silent Maiden’ recruits only witches, with not a single male member among them.

Honestly, Noland would rather face the wizard enforcers of the Pure Light Court.

Because those of the Pure Light Court are fond of due process.

They follow the lawful procedures meticulously, commencing the judgement proceedings from credible evidence collection. This unavoidably slows down the enforcers from the Pure Light Court. Noland has plenty of time to navigate their investigation.

But the Silent Witches from the ‘Silent Maiden’ are different. Efficiency is of utmost importance to these witches. As soon as they determine a person’s guilt, they immediate execute punishment without going through formal proceedings.

Take Samuelson, the Mental Wizard Criminal, for example. If he were to fall into the hands of the Pure Light Court, he would be able to live for at least half a year. In this half year, as long as he can gather the money for the fine, he can regain his freedom.

But in the hands of the Silent Witch, Samuelson would only have three seconds.

In the first second, the Silent Witch asks him using magical subtitles, “Do you have money to pay fines?”

In the second second, Samuelson remains silent due to his empty pockets.

In the third second, powerful magic bursts forth, Samuelson falls on the spot and the Silent Witch takes his body back to settle the case.

Yes, they’re just that decisive, and just that simple.

As he delved deeper into Mabel’s memories, Noland gradually grasped what he was about to face.

Under pressure, Mabel had given information about the Wandering Wizards to the Silent Witch. That happened two days ago.

In these two days, the Silent Witch had gone through all the intelligence in the hidden chamber of the Manor and deemed Noland as a suspect.

Noland could comprehend why they did that. He used to lack strength and experience, which inevitably left some shortcomings. It was normal that the Silent Witches had caught onto these clues.

Noland was confident that he could clear his name with his words and the materials he had prepared in advance.

But the real question was, why would the Silent Witch suddenly look into the cause of Hickman Arlington’s death? Shouldn’t she be returning with the tokens of Samuelson and the soul-stealing wizard?
