Chapter 556: 179. The captain betrayed the enemy_3

Some of the more astute passengers noticed the flurry of wizards and, feeling uneasy, joined the escape.

Herd mentality once again took effect.

Originally standing like a flock of stunned geese, it took only two or three minutes for the crowd, under the leadership of several individuals, to scatter and run for their lives.

At the same time, Noland Lee and his two companions reached the edge of the magic ship.

The noise here was much quieter and they could now converse normally.

The problem was, the metal dome was tightly integrated with the deck of the magic ship, leaving no gaps.

Like a wall blocking their path, there was no way past the dome.

In order to reach the sea surface outside the ship, Noland Lee and his companions had to break through the seal of the dome.

“Are you trying to take me off the magic ship?” Kalandi, who had been following Noland Lee, understood his intention.

She stubbornly said:

“That’s unacceptable. There’s a wizard criminal on board. As a collaborator of Captain Berkeley, I have to help him and the wizard enforcers deal with the criminal. Also, my stuff is all left in the shop, I can’t just abandon it.”

Kalandi made a move to fly back, but Denise Green promptly stopped her.

Noland Lee explained on the side:

“Madam, don’t you find it strange that since there’s a wizard criminal on board, the professor who provides you with intelligence has not contacted you?”

“…Now that you mention it, it does seem strange.” Kalandi stopped in her tracks, confusion crossing her face.

She squinted slightly, trying to contact her professor.

Two seconds later, her confusion and unease deepened — she had actually been refused by her own professor!

“Come with me, Madam.” Noland Lee took out a Magic Stone enveloped in grey mist from the Magic Pouch that Comini had given him.

This was a Silent Magic Stone with 10 points of silent power given to Noland Lee via Comini from Professor Erica.

Noland Lee was infusing his Sword of Silence with the magic power from the Silent Magic Stone. He said to Kalandi, who was running her fingers through her long grey hair with a restless expression:

“The Wizard Criminals the Enforcers have come to arrest include Captain Berkeley…”

“What… no,” Kalandi gasped, mouth agape in disbelief, “That’s impossible…”

That white-haired, mature, and aged witch stood dumbstruck as if she had been struck by lightning.

“What I’m saying is the truth, Kalandi. This is why you were not informed to leave the ship.” Noland Lee said patiently:

“You and other shop operators who often reside on the magic ship were determined by the Wizard’s Law Enforcement Department to have a collaborative relationship with Berkeley. While Berkeley has committed a crime, you will also be listed on the suspect list. Your professor has been instructed by the wizard enforcers. She won’t have any contact with you until everything is cleared up.”

Managing to stifle the shock in her heart within a few seconds, Kalandi, who had been through many years, raised her right hand to her chest, trying to calm her pounding heart:

“Then why would you want to take me off the magic ship? Aren’t you afraid of the Wizard’s Law Enforcement Department holding you responsible?” freёwebnoѵel.com

Noland Lee smiled at her, weighing the magic stone and the Sword of Silence in his hand:

“I’m eligible to take you off. You should recognize what I’m holding.”

“This is…the Sword of Silence…” Only now Kalandi noticed the grey stone dagger, her voice trembled in disbelief, “You…How…How is it possible…You are a member of the ‘Silent Maiden’…”

Her gaze unconsciously swept over Noland’s throat, chest, and some unmentionable places.

Denise Green stepped forward, blocking Noland:

“Well, Madam, I can vouch that Noland is indeed a member of the ‘Silent Maiden’ and he is a male witch. You don’t have to doubt his words. Once the timing is right, the ‘Silent Maiden’ will naturally announce that they have recruited a male witch.”

“I… Okay… I understand…”

The longer you live, the harder it is to believe when deep-rooted common understanding drastically changes.

Kalandi was currently 72 years old.

From the moment she stepped into the wizard profession, ‘Silent Maiden’ had always been a witch-only wizard force.

Knowing suddenly that the ‘Silent Maiden’ had recruited a male wizard, had as much shock to her as Noland hearing “Emei sect is recruiting male disciples”…

The only way Noland could know about Kalandi’s age was, of course, through deconstruction.

The meeting with Kalandi on the street was not accidental.

He purposely passed by her shop in order to take her away.

Upon seeing Kalandi standing still, he spent 20,000 energy points to deconstruct her properly.

After confirming that Kalandi shows no abnormalities and has never conspired with synthetic humans, Noland then took this collaborator along.

“Madam, you should have heard about the Wizard’s Law Enforcement Department’s emergency plan when dealing with sudden disasters. Now you are on the suspect Wizard list. Law Enforcement will hold suspects under separate control. The task of surveillance on you will be carried out by me. Now, please follow me, let’s leave here,” Noland said, stabbing the Silent Sword filled with silent power into the metal dome in front of him.

The seemingly indestructible metal dome was cut open by the Sword of Silence like a block of tofu.

As the sword moved, a round metal plate about a meter in diameter fell from the metal dome and thudded on the floor near the three of them.

The salty, damp sea breeze filled the ship. The pitch-black seawater and the star-studded night sky appeared in the round gap in the dome.

The cut-off edge of the circular gap was squirming, and the magic metal visibly spread towards the center of the gap.

“Move quickly, the auto-repair feature of the magic metal is acting,” said Noland Lee, putting away the Silent Sword that was depleted of magic power, and flew out of the opening first, followed by the ever loyal Denise, and then Kalandi, who was concerned about her shop.

Within the three seconds it took for the three of them to leave, the gap in the dome was completely repaired with a swishing sound.
