    Cat Society Manor.


    In a small guest room.<div>


    The afternoon sunlight was warm and bright, bing even softer after passing through silk curtains.


    Nnd Lee sat on a soft one-seater sofa, staring nkly at the floating dust in the light column for a while before Philia arrived.


    As soon as Nnd Lee saw her, he used Deconstruction.


    He spent a thousand energy points and obtained Philia’s important memories from thest two days.


    From the obtained memory fragments, Philia and her mentor were curious about the Alchemy Cathedral’s investigation of the Re-forged Association and other forces’ actions.


    They knew about the pollution zone on the sea surface and that it was caused by a cargo ship from the Tatis Empire.


    However, they were not sure what was in the ship wreckage, nor did they know why the Alchemy Cathedral pointed the finger at the Re-forged Association.


    This confirmed that the Golden Commerce Guild had indeed kept Nnd Lee’s secret and never told Elemental Judgement about his involvement in the operation, where he yed a significant role.


    Nnd Lee was pleased with the Golden Commerce Guild’s secrecy.


    His status in the eyes of Elemental Judgement remained unchanged, still a reliable and somewhat skilled wandering wizard.


    “Ray Lee, you’ve arrived.” Philia closed the door with a smile.<div>


    Smoothing the folds of her dress behind her, she sat on a one-seater sofa opposite Nnd Lee and asked:


    “Are you here to rent the magicboratory or buy magic materials?”


    Nnd Lee shook his head slightly:


    “No, Philia. I’m here for something else. Someone asked me to discuss something with you.”


    “Oh? Really?” Philia sat up straight, ready to listen carefully while her dress tightened around her.


    “Here’s the thing. I have a friend in the Tatis Empire whose identity is somewhat special.” Nnd Lee spread his hands and said:


    “He is the descendant of the Tatis Emperor and the only legal wizard in the empire. I think you should know his name.”


    “His name is Morster, right? Hotams’s metal wizard.” A contemtive light appeared in Philia’s eyes:


    “I think I know what he wants you to do. He wants to use you to buy a Bone-mending Wand from us, right?”


    Philia’s expression became somewhat distressed, and the smile at the corner of her mouth turned bitter:


    “I’m sorry, Ray Lee. I can’t help you with this. My mentor has already sealed the wand and will hand it over to the Elemental Judgement Combat Wizard arriving here tomorrow.”<div>


    “There should still be room for negotiation, Philia. You might as well listen to the bargaining chips Morster offers.”


    “Hmm… Okay, go ahead.”


    Nnd Lee sorted out the information in his mind and began to convey the intelligence Morster had provided.


    His starting point was not about how many wandering wizards were missing in name only in ck City, or the potential wizard criminals there.


    He focused on Hickman Arlington.


    Nnd Lee knew about Hickman Arlington’s betrayal of the Elemental Judgement from Philia herself.


    Using that as a starting point, Nnd Lee aimed to spark Philia’s curiosity by asking “Why did Hickman Arlington join ck City?” He then raised the question of how many wandering wizards had been attacked and disappeared in the Fissure Corridor over the past few years to further stimte her thoughts.


    After following this train of thought, Philia fell into contemtion.


    “Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit strange.” Philia frowned in thought:


    “Since I became a wizard student, probably eight wandering wizards have been attacked in the Fissure Corridor in thest five years. They were all taken by ck City’s alchemists to the deepest part of the Fissure Corridor. As soon as we discovered these incidents, we informed the respective mentor professors of the wandering wizards.”


    “The professors had different reactions. Some were very angry and emotional, while others were cold and indifferent as if they didn’t care whether their students were dead or alive. However, no matter what their attitude, these events eventually ended without consequences. Most professors used the excuse of a long journey toment that they could not send new wandering wizards to rescue their fallen students.”<div>


    Philia helplessly shrugged and sighed lightly:


    “We are just a magic research institute here, not a magic judging organization. Without the request of the mentor professors, we cannot send people to ck City. This would vite the contract signed with the Alchemy Cathedral. As a result, those missing wandering wizards have never reappeared in our sight.”


    Nnd Lee struck while the iron was hot and said:


    “Morster should have prepared the information by now, Philia. You canmunicate with the mentor professors.”


    In fact, the young Morster had be quite impatient.


    After returning to the Tatis Empire, he went to see his mother, Adide Carter. Morster learned from his mother’s mouth that during his heated battle with Nnd Lee, apanion witch named Denise Green had contacted his mother through a professor to inquire about him.


    With a quick thought, Morster immediately realized that Denise’s rtionship with Nnd Lee was special, and they must be in apanion witch and contractor rtionship.


    Thinking that his parents were also in a contractual rtionship, with his father being a ruler of a country, Morster immediately realized how terrifying Nnd Lee’s potential was.


    Morster knew very well where the rebirth magic power came from. He deeply knew that only those who could provide a stable and plentiful supply of rebirth magic power would be favored bypanion witches. Only God knows how many students in Hotams long to be the contractors ofpanion witches.
