Chapter 661: 212. Neat and tidy


    The person with the highest strength in the entire manor had spoken, leaving those present with no choice but to obey hermand.


    Selena was not only a Nine Circles Deep Sea Wizard, but also the Deputy Dean of the Deep-sea Branch.


    Being a Deputy Dean meant that she could summon help from the Deep-sea Branch with just onemand.


    Under the watchful gaze of the guests and amidst the trembling excitement of Lord Dickler Fagen, Selena contacted the Deep Sea Branch through magical messaging and summoned a group of Deep Sea wizards ranging from Three to Five Circles.


    They used Lord Fagen’s garden to temporarily construct a Magic Octagon Cage for the Extraordinary duel in front of the grand manor mansion.


    The visitors were in for a treat. Just by visiting, they would not only enjoy the drama but also witness a life-and-death duel, making their trip worthwhile.


    The Magic Octagon Cage was quickly set up.


    The Deep-sea wizards maintained order, while Selena took her ce on a balcony of the second floor as the host. The crowd of onlookers filled thewn surrounding the Magic Octagon Cage.


    After a brief and intense period of distraction, Lord Fagen returned to the manor mansion, where he whispered to his housekeeper.


    As the hosts, they still held some clout.<div>


    Selena granted them ten minutes of preparation time.


    Once the time was up, Housekeeper Hmat had to either personally enter the battle or appoint abat wizard to fight on his behalf.


    As Nnd Lee had expected, after discussing with Fagen, Hmat sent a Four-ring Demon Spirit Wizard to fight.


    Seeing this, Nnd smiled inwardly. He bowed politely to Selena on the second-floor balcony and said,


    “Miss Selena, I would like to raise the stakes of this duel. If I win, I hope Fagen can transfer the contract right of this Demon Spirit Wizard to me.”


    From another balcony a few meters away, Fagen angrily pped the stone railing, shouting,


    “And if you lose, you despicable First Rank wizard! If you lose, you’ll be my servant! I’ll not only take your life, but also enve your soul for fifty years – no, a hundred years!”


    “Deal, Fagen.” Nnd gazed at him with a faint smile.


    His calm demeanor only served to anger Fagen more. The young master cursed Nnd, clearly shattered.


    Selena ced her hands gently on her lower abdomen, her blue liquid dress flowing slowly.


    ncing at Nnd and Hmat outside the Magic Octagon Cage, she said,


    “I ept the stake of this life-and-death duel. I and all the guests present will bear witness. Open the Magic Octagon Cage, activate the protective array, conduct a pre-battle check, and prepare for the life-and-death duel.”


    The Deep-sea wizards pulled open the two gates of the Magic Octagon Cage.


    Nnd and the Demon Spirit Wizard were examined by the Deep-sea wizards, re-confirming that both sides met all the requirements for the life-and-death duel.


    The specific examination method involved using a detection spell on the duelists.


    A key detection spell was the Wizard Level Detection Technique, which would cause a magical glow on the target’s body. The glow’s color determined the target’s wizard rank.


    As a First Level wizard, Nnd’s magical glow was gray.


    The Demon Spirit Wizard fighting on behalf of the imposter butler had a green glow, indicating a Four-ring Wizard.


    After confirming that both participants met all duel requirements, Nnd and his opponent stepped onto the dueling tform from opposite gates of the Octagon Cage.<div>


    The imposter butler stood outside the Magic Octagon Cage, facing Nnd.


    His face was filled with resentment, as Nnd had clearly disrupted his ns.


    However, he didn’t seem to show any fear.


    When inviting Nnd to the manor, he had learned about Nnd’s background and strength.<div>


    He knew that Nnd was backed by the Silent Maiden.


    Putting aside why a male wizard like Nnd would join an all-female wizard force, the imposter butler believed that Nnd’s efficientpletion of bounty tasks and arrest warrants were due to magical items given by Professor Erica.


    To the imposter butler, it was obvious that Nnd’s recognition of the abnormal Contract box and identification of his spy status were all due to Professor Erica’s mystical items.


    He deduced that Nnd’s mysterious equipment was probably a barely detectable detection-type magical item.


    Regarding Nnd’s method for defeating wanted criminals, the imposter butler attributed it to the breakingw effects of his silent power.


    As the only male wizard in the Silent Maiden, Nnd must possess special abilities in using silent magic, which would exin why he was recruited by Professor Erica.


    That was the imposter butler’s reasoning.


    To him, without the secret help of Professor Erica, Nnd would only be an ordinary First Rank Combat Wizard.


    Sending their own Four-ring Demon Spirit Wizard to fight should be enough to defeat Nnd.


    The problem was: why did Nnd seem so confident, even going so far as to propose raising the stakes…?


    At this point, the imposter butler felt something strange about the situation and couldn’t figure out where Nnd’s confidence in facing the Four-ring Demon Spirit Wizard came from.
