Chapter 763: 243. Lin can’t afford to pay


    Selena clenched her hands on the table:


    “I want to eliminate the threat of sea monsters and bring peace to the Suman Archipgo. I need all relevant knowledge and intelligence.”


    Nnd Lee squinted slightly:


    “Hmm, a noble demand. Why do you care so much about the peace of the Suman Archipgo?”


    “Ah, it’s rted to my family…”


    Selena calmly exined her reasons.


    Many times, Nnd Lee asked while already knowing the answer.


    This question is no exception.


    He had already found the answer in Selena’s deconstruction result.


    Selena has a feature:


    “Peace Manager.”


    She prefers managing a peaceful area rather than a ce like Suman Archipgo that is frequently harassed by Dread Sail.


    So, could she apply to Hotams Academy to manage a more peaceful location?


    The answer is no.


    The Deep Sea Branch has one dean and three deputy deans.


    All four of them are family members from the Pomida Family, which supports Selena.


    The Pomida Family has a total of seven heirs, with no family branches.


    Selena is ranked fourth and is the fourth in line to inherit.


    Her older brother, Lonco Pomida, is one of the deputy deans of the Deep Sea Branch, responsible for managing routes, exploring the Mist Threshold, and defending against sea monsters.


    The aid fleet from the Deep Sea Branch that Nnd Lee saw a few days ago was dispatched by Lonco Pomida.


    Selena’s second brother, Sidney Pomida, is also a deputy dean, responsible for deciphering Dread Sail magic books, researching deep-sea spells, and managing the daily affairs of the academy.


    Selena’s father, Mingwaq Pomida, is the Dean, who stays in the capital Starlight City of the Ulnas Circle, responsible for training deep-seabat wizards for Hotams Academy.


    Four family members, neatly divided in their duties.


    The father, oldest son, second son, and oldest daughter are the first to fourth heirs in line, respectively.


    The fifth to seventh heirs in line, the first two are the main lecturers at the Deep Sea Branch, and thest one is a Councilor-level Professor at the Wizard Council, usually staying in the Ulnas Circle.


    Under such circumstances, Selena’s only option is to manage the wizard forces in the Suman Archipgo, which requires her to cooperate with her father and older brother in cleaning up sea monsters.


    How strong is thebat capability of the Deep Sea Branch?


    It’s pretty okay.


    Hotams in the Ulnas Circle can always sendbat wizards through the teleportation gate to support the Deep Sea Branch in the Suman Archipgo.


    However, the problem is that their understanding of sea monsters, Dread Sail Wizards, and other forces is not enough to provoke them tounch an all-out attack on the sea monsters.


    Nnd Lee looked at Selena’s recent memories with the Deconstruction Technique.


    Selena hadn’t mentioned Nnd Lee’s existence to outsiders or her family.


    Selena’s demand at this time is also her own wish, not the result of her discussions with other people.


    From this, Selena’s revealed demand is due both to her duty and the “Peace Manager” feature.


    — Of course, here, Nnd Lee interprets the term “feature” as “essential personality trait,” which is the inherent driving force that prompts a person to do something.


    After listening to Selena’s exnation for purchasing knowledge, there was a few seconds of silence in the study room before Nnd Lee spoke:


    “Selena, you can’t afford the price of this intelligence.”


    “Can’t afford…” Selena looked a bit lost.


    “Yes, you can’t afford it. Not just you, even your father can’t.” Nnd Lee said calmly:


    “The entanglement between the Deep Sea Branch and sea monsters can be traced back hundreds of years.


    “You think the Deep Sea Branch is facing a group of nomadic, thieving, and extorting sea monsters or fallen human wizards.


    “But in fact, sea monsters are a group of ancient creatures with magical knowledge and background, not inferior to the Deep Sea Branch at all. The Dread Sail Wizards are just puppets bred by the sea monsters.”


    “Besides, the ‘Tidal Surge’ meditation method you practice nowes from the ancient sea monsters that you drove from Suman Archipgo into the ocean.”


    Nnd Lee’s words left Selena in a daze.


    All this time, Dread Sail wizards had appeared before her as criminals.


    What appeared most in the Suman Archipgo were tide spies.


    Selena didn’t know much about the sea monsters causing trouble at sea, thinking that they were simr to tide spies.


    The strongest sea monster Selena knew of was a high-level tide spy, whose strength was equivalent to a Sixth Ring Battle Wizard.


    These phenomenabined to create an image of the Dread Sail wizards and their weak Dread Sail Pirate Nation in Selena’s eyes.


    Dread Sail could only harass the Suman Archipgo by theft, robbery, poisoning, etc.


    But is that really the case?


    Obviously not.


    Selena has only seen a small part of Dread Sail.


    As her daily work is to manage wizard forces, she can only see the content affected by Dread Sail wizard forces.


    Only those who are directly responsible forbat matters, like Selena’s father and older brother, can rely on their experience to specte the specific rtionship between Dread Sail wizards and sea monsters.


    ording to the deconstruction results from a few days ago, Nnd Lee had a rough guess in his heart.


    He was just waiting for more intelligence to fully unravel the mystery of the sea monsters.


    In Nnd Lee’s view:
