“Be careful, Mark.” Kent reminded in a low voice.

“Oh, yes, boss.” Mark shrank his neck and smiled awkwardly at Noland Lee, scratching his head and said:

“I didn’t expect you to be a real wizard. Now when I think about how I was showing off my alchemy knowledge in front of you, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body. It’s so embarrassing.”

Noland Lee had a good impression of the straightforward and approachable Mark, so he smiled and invited the two of them to sit down.

“Did you receive the letter I asked someone to give you, Kent?” Noland Lee brought up some hot tea and asked.

“Yes. Actually, before I received your letter, the president of the Cat Society had already informed me. They sent an urgent notice that a strange aberration den had appeared in the Savage Stone Wasteland, and it had even spawned a Nest Core.”

Kent rubbed his beard-stubbled chin and said:

“To be honest, if the information wasn’t sent to me in official documents by the Cat Society, I would have a hard time believing that beneath the abandoned building on the edge of the Savage Stone Wasteland, there was an aberration den far beyond our imagination… By the way, Ray Lee, do you have any tasks from other factions on your agenda now?”

“No, I’ve finished everything I had on hand.” Noland Lee knew that Kent must have something to ask for, so he added:

“I don’t plan to leave Lower Town anytime soon. What did you come here for?”

“That’s perfect.” Kent clapped his hands and nudged Mark next to him with his elbow:

“The security team of Iron Thorn Shield has basically been taken away by the Golden Commerce Guild, leaving only Mark with a security team in town. If possible, I would like you to take care of Mark during my absence.”

“Sure, no problem.” Noland Lee nodded and asked:

“May I ask one more question, Kent? Why not ask the Golden Merchant’s Sword for help with Iron Thorn Shield’s daily security work? Aren’t they working for the Golden Commerce Guild like you?”

“That’s something you don’t know.” Kent paused and said:

“Professional fighters like the Golden Merchant’s Sword, each of them is a Third Order Alchemist or above. According to the rules set by the Alchemy Cathedral, they can only stay in the Upper City Area and the Fissure Corridor. They are not allowed to interfere with the security matters of Lower Town.

“Such restrictions are meant to prevent daily conflicts in the various sectors of Lower Town from escalating from small fights between security companies and gang members to intense clashes between professional fighters from different alchemist factions. If that were to happen, ordinary people in Lower Town would definitely be affected by the fighting. Therefore, Mark cannot ask the Golden Merchant’s Sword for help in daily affairs unless his trouble comes from the Fissure Corridor.”

“I understand.”

As the three of them chatted, the lady housekeeper returned with a large pile of food ingredients.

Upon learning that Noland Lee had already had lunch, the lady housekeeper rushed to prepare some tea snacks for the guests.

About half an hour later, Kent left the small cottage with an excited Mark.
