Chapter 371: 135. Cross-industry cooperation

Translator: 549690339

Time passed as Noland Lee searched for the whereabouts of Intelligence Department 6.

In the blink of an eye, three days went by.

Noland carefully examined all the deconstruction results related to the Empire, picking out dozens of pieces of information that might involve Intelligence Department 6.

At this moment, he was in the study of his single cottage organizing these intelligence reports.

The atmosphere in the study was quiet and comfortable, while outside in other parts of Union City, the situation was changing rapidly and unpredictably.

The Savage Stone Wasteland’s Aberration Fissure hurriedly entered the sights of various factions in Union City and left just as quickly.

Upon their return from investigating the Aberration Fissure, the Golden Merchant’s Swords immediately reported their findings to the Golden Commerce Guild, who then relayed the information to the Alchemy Cathedral.

As expected, the investigation results of the Golden Merchant’s Swords shocked the Alchemist Factions in Union City.

The illegal alchemist faction, Blackbone Secret Society in Black City, had joined forces with a mental wizard criminal to create a machinery factory for artificially breeding aberrations!

The information was of great value and extremely complex, involving various factions.

The forces implicated in the scandal included:

Elemental Judgement, the Death Herald Guild, Tatis Empire Military Intelligence Agency 3 and 5, and the Blackbone Secret Society.

Elemental Judgement and the Death Herald Guild were Ulnas Circle’s wizard forces. They became involved in the matter because of the Wizard Criminal and Bone-mending Wand.

The Death Herald Guild was far away in the Tatis Empire, and the local forces in Union City couldn’t control it, so all the pressure fell on Elemental Judgement.

The Golden Merchant’s Swords found some precious documents in the machinery factory.

One of the documents was worth noting: it was a transcript of the Blackbone Hermit interrogating nine wizards.

Nine wizards were trapped in the nest, which was well-known to the major alchemy factions in Union City.

One of them was of sixth ring strength, coming from the Night Spirit Cult. The other eight were of three- and four-circled strength, hailing from the Night Spirit Cult, Tomb King, and Hotams Magic Academy.

These nine were subjected to mental magic by Samuelson, making them answer any questions asked.

Samuelson, who was very concerned about his own wanted status, had the Blackbone Hermit focus on gathering intelligence on this matter.

For this reason, the transcript contained a lot of basic information about Samuelson. From this record, the alchemist factions of the Golden Merchant’s Swords learned about Samuelson’s name, background, strength, criminal record, and the recent manhunt issued by the Wizard Enforcement Department.

Upon learning of the presence of the Wizard Criminal in the Fission Wilderness, the first reaction of the alchemist faction was to urge the sole wizard force of this place, Elemental Judgement, to capture the criminal.

The Alchemy Cathedral also intervened, issuing an announcement requiring the Elemental Judgement to capture the Wizard Criminal within a specified time, which was one month.

In the announcement, they said:

If they could catch Samuelson, Elemental Judgement could continue to stay in Union City; if not, they would have to leave and make way for another wizard force to come in.

The original wording probably wasn’t as blunt as this, but the meaning was more or less the same.

As a result, Elemental Judgement had to actively hunt down Samuelson, whether they wanted to exploit his knowledge of aberration magic or not.

Noland learned about this announcement through the Golden Commerce Guild.

Since the announcement, Philia from Elemental Judgement had sought him out once, asking if he wanted to participate in the operation to hunt down Samuelson in Black City.

Noland decisively declined.

He used his carefully prepared excuse to tactfully reject Philia’s invitation.

Please, Samuelson was currently hiding in Black City, thousands of meters underground, in the high-risk area below the 80th floor of the Fissure Corridor.

As a wizard with, at most, first level skill openly, how could he possibly go to such a place?

Philia wasn’t surprised by his refusal. Not only did he decline the invitation, but other wandering wizards did so as well.

Denise Green rejected on Noland’s advice.

Fugidia, Sheldon Archer, and Nikcat – these three refused the invitation because they became fearful after witnessing Samuelson’s Mental Magic.

Elemental Judgement wasn’t angered by the wandering wizards’ refusal to accept the invitation. In fact, inviting wandering wizards to participate in the operation was a matter of courtesy.

The real people responsible for hunting down Samuelson were not wizard students like Philia and Betty Davis, but the combat wizards sent from Elemental Judgement’s headquarters. 𝐟r𝗲𝚎𝚠e𝐛no𝘃𝗲𝐥.c𝗼m

Philia said that due to the Alchemy Cathedral’s tough stance and the urgent nature of the situation, the supporting combat wizards would use legal means to open a teleportation gate and directly transport to the Cat Society Manor.

They were expected to arrive in a week and would capture Samuelson as quickly as possible. They would imprison Samuelson in a local magic dungeon and hand him over to the wizard enforcer who would arrive in a month.

Philia didn’t explicitly mention the strength of the combat wizards, but they were likely powerful enough to crush Samuelson.

If Noland wanted to seize another batch of Life Elixir, he would have to hurry.

If Samuelson were captured, his cooperation with the Tatis Empire would be forcibly terminated, and the related Life Elixirs would no longer be sent to Union City. Noland would miss the opportunity to snatch them.

After the machinery factory was destroyed, Elemental Judgement’s plan to allow Samuelson to conduct a magic enlightenment was interrupted. This triggered a series of events, including Samuelson hiding in Black City and Elemental Judgement being forced to hunt him down due to pressure from the Alchemy Cathedral, among others.
