Chapter 497: 162. Instilling knowledge_3
Magic relics are fraught with dangerous magic traps, and guarded by deadly extraordinary creatures. Not to mention lost sub-dimensional planes, the randomness of opening and closing their entrances alone is enough to deter most wizards. No one knows whether the entrance to the sub-dimensional plane will close immediately after they enter, and it may not open again for decades or even centuries.
The act of Noland Lee’s knowledge trade, to a large extent, is similar to directly placing the treasures of magic relics and sub-dimensional planes in front of Mabel.
Using magic relics and sub-dimensional planes as the sources of unknown knowledge is enough to launder these pieces of knowledge.
This is the common knowledge in the Realm of Wizards that Noland Lee learned from Denise Green. Denise herself never did this, but during her stay in the Ulnas Circle, she had heard about many such deeds.
Most magic relics and sub-dimensional spaces, whose specific positions and opening times cannot be observed, are hard to be traced by the Wizard Enforcers when used for laundering knowledge. Therefore, the Wizard Enforcement Department of the Ulnas Circle turns a blind eye to it, pretending not to know about it.
When Noland Lee learned about these practices, he asked Denise a question:
If exploring magic relics and sub-dimensional planes could yield knowledge of other fields, why do the knowledge barriers still exist among different fields?
The answer is straightforward.
Magic relics are “relics” because they are destroyed. Either destroyed by hostile wizard forces or by extraterrestrial space pollution. No matter what external force destroyed the predecessor of the magic relic, it means that the magic treasure inside the relic is ragged and may even be contaminated with ineradicable extraterrestrial space pollution.
The situation in the lost sub-dimensional planes is similar.
Initially, Noland Lee thought that the magic treasure brought out from the magic relics would be an old but complete magic book. In fact, it would be a few dirty papers barely surviving from attacks such as electric shocks, fires, water immersion, acid erosion, etc. It is challenging to garner a systematic magic knowledge based merely on these waste papers.
It is this point that slows down the speed of knowledge flow across fields.
Of course, under extremely lucky circumstances, it is still possible to bring out relatively complete magic devices and knowledge from magic relics and sub-dimensional planes.
Mabel can use her luck as an excuse to launder the knowledge and equipment she bought from Noland Lee.
-–It is probably because many people have done so, hence the rumors in the Realm of Wizards about a large number of people reaping full profits from magic relics.
Regardless of the truth, nothing can hinder the completion of this transaction.
Noland Lee reviews the knowledge in his mind and finds some content that meets Mabel’s needs.
