Chapter 668: 213. Deceive Mode_4

Selena tried to brush the rope knot with her hand, but when her gaze accidentally landed on it, her body trembled as if electrically shocked:

“This… this is…”

Selena’s eyes flickered uncontrollably as she looked at the knot as if it was an unthinkable symbol, with trembling fingers, she held the knot between her fingertips.

“As you can see, this is a Dragon Clan Rune, ma’am. It is said to guide a person in obtaining the access to floors of the ‘Ascension Fortress.’ I am not exactly sure if it’s true.” Noland Lee said.

“Where did you find this Dragon Clan Rune?” Selena forcefully pinched the rope knot, her voice trembling with excitement.

Noland Lee calmly looked at her and responded indirectly:

Selena, we both know that if it wasn’t for my actions tonight, you would have accepted Dickler Fagen’s proposal, and you would become his wife. You have known for a long time that he was working with Dread Sail…”

Noland Lee’s words shocked Selena.

Apparently, he had revealed her deepest secret.

Her right hand holding the rope knot cracked as she tried to contain her astonishment.

Noland Lee glanced at the ‘Hatred Value’ of the ‘Resurrection Magic Source’ and saw no increase. It seemed that he was good at reading people. Selena had no intention of killing him.

In that case, he would use the memory fragments obtained from deconstructing the Tide Spy’s memories to establish a stable cooperative relationship with Selena.

He was grateful for the Tide Spy and his meticulous observations of everything he dealt with.

The Dragon Clan Stele Script in the Tide Spy’s memory was what Fagen used to lure Selena into marrying him.

And the contents recorded on these steles were exactly the meditation method ‘Surge Tide’ that Selena needed to practice at the Ten Rings stage.

Without guidance in this aspect, Selena and other deep-sea wizards had no chance of advancing to the Ten Rings level.

One could say that if Noland Lee hadn’t tampered with Fagen tonight, Selena would have sacrificed herself for the future of the Deep Sea Branch by marrying Fagen, who was much younger than her, in exchange for the practice content at the Ten Rings stage of ‘Surge Tide.’

Such a person was both soft and tough at heart. Even if she had been “misunderstood” by Noland Lee before, she would keep her grievances and secrets to herself and silently bear them.

Selena met all the criteria Noland Lee had for selecting a partner.

Noland Lee smiled gently:

“The reason you are willing to be Fagen’s wife is because of the Dragon Clan stele scripts in Dread Sail’s possession.

“Don’t get lost in the pursuit of magical power, ma’am.

“I have what Fagen has, and I don’t need you to offer your purity. I will teach them to you.

“But… power comes at a price.

“You must sign a soul contract with me. The terms of the contract are simple. During my stay in the Suman Archipelago, you provide protection for my lawful actions and strictly guard all my secrets. In return, I will guide you along the path to becoming a Ten Rings Deep-sea Witch.

“You can share the meditation method contents recorded in the Dragon Clan stele scripts with your colleagues, but only with my consent.”

Noland Lee paused for a moment, giving Selena time to ponder:

“…So, do you want to form a soul contract with me?”

Selena opened her right hand, the rope knot in it was deformed by her grip.

She pursed her full lips, looking up at Noland Lee:

“Who are you, really? A ‘Dragon Clan Descendant’?”

“No.” Noland Lee shook his head slightly, activated the “Mind Induction” Technique to deliver a devastating blow to Selena’s psyche:

“I am the Observer of Extraordinary Paths, the Phantom absorbing extraordinary knowledge, the Final Buyer of all extraordinary achievements. I appear only before noble, dignified souls that yearn for knowledge. You are lucky, ma’am. I admire your courage to sacrifice yourself for the Academy’s future. You meet the criteria for forming a soul contract with me.”

Selena’s pupils suddenly contracted!

The sound of the heart that suddenly echoed in Selena’s heart deeply shocked her.

For her, a Nine Circles Wizard, wearing long-term protective gear against psychic-type spells was a must.

She clenched the collar of her robe and tightened her grip on the magic pendant buried beneath it.

The cold pendant did not react at all.

“Unbelievable, your mental magic penetrated my protection… If you were to use other mental spells on me…” Selena couldn’t help but shiver, unable to imagine the scene of her being subjected to “Mind Control”.

“Hush…” Noland Lee held up a finger in front of his mouth, signaling her to be quiet and then pointed at his heart.

Selena immediately stopped speaking.

She bit her lip and nodded.

The magic car was silent as the two exchanged deep communication through their gazes and psychic senses.
