?Chapter 853: 266. Nnd walks the tightrope_4
Selena activated the Miniature Ocean in the Study Room, and escorted Nnd Lee to teleport away.
Lonco pped his thigh, rose to his feet, and left his sister’s Study Room.

…
Nnd Lee was right, he really needed to finish the construction of Ind 33 as soon as possible.
Many things were waiting to unfold once this ind was in ce. <div>
...
The first task was to transfer the personality data “Nolin” of Synthetic Human DKP-15 from the Synthetic Human Main Control Chip to the Computing Array.
The materials for the Computing Array had already been procured by Comini in Union City, upon Nnd Lee’s request.
With the materials ready, Nnd Lee only needed to build a top-secret Alchemy Laboratory toplete the transfer of personality data.
The second task rted to Nicolette’s soul.
After two months of Slumber, this little girl was about toplete the Soul Weaving process with the help of the Angel Seed.
Before she awoke, Nnd Lee needed to find an absolutely safe and secret ce to build a culture tank for her.
Only then could Nnd Lee ensure that she would grow up safely and happily.
That was one of the purposes of Ind 33—it would be the ce where Nicolette would be reborn.
The third task was to build a base capable ofunching Thunderclouds.
Nnd Lee nned to make Ind 33 into a secret base that couldunch Thunderclouds at any time, with an influence capable of covering thousands of kilometers around the Core Circle.
Even if he left the Suman Archipgo in the future, he could use “Tracking Mark” and “Mind Control” from afar to remotely control theunch base on Ind 33 andplete all the steps ofunching Thunderclouds and summoning heavenly tribtion.
The fourth task.
Nnd Lee intended to fulfill Denise Green’s wish and turn Ind 33 into the ind harbor of her dreams.
All this would start from today.
The entire ind construction would involve no outsiders.
Selena, who would help Nnd Lee manage the Sub-Dimensional ne in the future, would personally lead her Magic Servants to create all the Magical Facilities on the ind for Nnd Lee.
On Ind 33, the figures of Nnd Lee and Selena emerged from the clear Sea Water.
The ind was covered with greenery and had several excellent Havens.
Even without the power of magic, it could remain unharmed in stormy weather.
Selena, who was listening to Nnd Lee’s design ns for the ind’s facilities, suddenly received a letter.
“Jarvis, Dickler Fegan is about to leave the Suman Archipgo. He has recently received an official summons from the head of the family and will go to the Scorched Rock teau to join his father, Fagen Pang.”
Selena handed the letter to Nnd Lee:
“He and his vassals and servants will set sail from the Suman Archipgo on a Magic Mechanical Ship by tomorrow evening. Once they reach the Treasure Sea, he will leave through a Teleportation Gate, and his Family secret guard will take over escorting his vassals, servants, and the remnant of his wealth.”
Nnd Lee took the letter and read it briefly:
“Hmm, as expected. Tell Mira Faar for me that I’ve got something to discuss with her. By tomorrow night, I will avenge the ‘zing Queen’ and pave the way for Sienna to be the sole Principal of the local families.”
“Understood,” Selena nodded lightly.
Nnd Lee, hands on hips, gazed up at the steep peaks and forests of the ind and took a deep breath of the fresh air:
“The Sea Monsters’ beguilement of Yorksim and the others isn’t purely bad; it has indeed helped intensify some conflicts and elerated my n.”
Nnd Lee looked at Selena, who was gazing at him:
“You’ll have a tough month ahead, Selena, not only helping me build the ind but also dealing with the annoying wizard forces. Once Ind 33 is on the right track, I’ll prepare to apply for a Sub-Dimensional ne within the Ulnas Circle.”
“There’s no need to rush, Jarvis,” Selena said softly:
“I believe that you will keep your promise. You don’t have to push yourself too hard; you can take your time.”
Nnd Lee shook his head slightly:
“I see a bit more than you do, Selena. I have a premonition that the Metal Ancestor Dragon wille to the Suman Archipgo.”
“Oh? Why do you say that?” Selena’s breath hitched.
Nnd Lee thought for a moment and recounted what he had witnessed on the ocean floor.
Since even the hidden Dragon n turntable at the bottom of the sea was still functional, could it mean that within the Spinning Continent, which emitted dragon n collectibles, there still existed “living” Dragon n relics?
After all, the existence of dragons on the Spinning Continent had been confirmed long ago.
Clearly, the Metal Ancestor Dragon wasn’t returning to this world for a vacation.
With a bit of conjecture, it wasn’t difficult to conclude that this sly old dragon was likely revisiting its old haunts on the Spinning Continent.
Nnd Lee wasn’t sure of its intentions and motives.
However, it seemed likely that the Suman Archipgo, being the forward base for exploring the Spinning Continent, would be one of the Metal Ancestor Dragon’snding spots.
Moreover, don’t let your guard down just because you’ve signed a Magic Contract with the Deep Sea Branch.
Mingwaq Pomida, the head of the Pomida Family, was certainly no pushover.
Nnd Lee had three reasons for his suspicion.
First, Sidney Pomida’s defection to the Sea Monsters might have been known by Mingwaq as the family head. Mingwaq might have deliberately allowed his second son to do so, though his motives were not yet clear.
When Nnd Lee had the chance to meet Mingwaq, a quick use of the Deconstruction Technique would reveal the truth.
The second reason he suspected Mingwaq had ill intentions was:
For a major event like a family alliance, the decision must be made by the family head.
Previously, Selena had been close with Dickler Fegan, and Lonco was unaware of it, but Sidney knew.
The arrangement for Selena to marry Dickler, which happened a month ago, was something Nnd Lee couldn’t verify using Deconstruction Technique.
But he figured that an alliance of this level could only be decided by the family head, Mingwaq.
So, chances were nine out of ten that Sidney was acting under his father’s direction when he yed matchmaker for Selena and Dickler.
Likewise, finding Mingwaq and applying Deconstruction would likely reveal the true course of events.
The third reason he suspected Mingwaq had ill intentions was:
The process of him signing the Magic Contract with the Deep Sea Branch was too easy and quick, as if everything was going ording to his wishes.
After some deep thought, Nnd Lee surmised that the bait he hadid out in the Magic Contract had taken effect.
The Magic Scrolls he had provided—”Sonic st,” “Underwater Scorching Ray,” “Thundercloud Technique”—any one of these Spells would drive wizards mad with desire.
A wizard obsessed with Magic would definitely try every means to acquire these three Spells for themselves.
Coincidentally, Nnd Lee had ced a rted penalty use in the Magic Contract:
If Nnd Lee failed to uphold his promise of providing a “Nonmetal Mineral Distribution Map,” he would either have to pay the Pomida Family billions in fines or provide Magical Items or Spell Blueprints of equivalent value aspensation.
Nnd Lee didn’t have billions of gold coins.
But he had Spell Blueprints.
As long as Mingwaq Pomida found a way to make him, Nnd Lee, breach the contract, he could use it as a pretext to demand the blueprints for the three Spells from Nnd Lee.
Hmm-hmm.
This seemingly disadvantageous use was intentional on his part.
Otherwise, how could he entice Mingwaq to sign the Magic Contract?
By deducing the motive from the oue, Nnd Lee could be certain that Mingwaq had signed the Magic Contract with him precisely because of the three Spells.
From Mingwaq’s perspective, he was “casting a long line to catch a big fish.”
And wasn’t Nnd Lee doing just the same from his standpoint?
Nnd Lee’s approach was undoubtedly fraught with both risk and opportunity, aptly described as “walking a tightrope.”
As long as he could acquire a Sub-Dimensional ne soon and secure a territory he could control entirely, he would be able to leave his “tightrope” and safely reach the shore.
That was the true reason why he prioritized “obtaining a Sub-Dimensional ne” as his foremost goal.
