?Chapter 942: 294. Winning on three fronts_2
Everything had been predicted by the writer of the letter.
Thus, ording to the secret letter’s conjecture, the two people before him would surely inquire about matters rted to Nnd Lee Jarvis next.
Hadley Grant nervously scratched his beard, trying hard to maintain hisposure internally.
“Gentlemen, what exactly do you want to do? I haven’t offended you. I’m just a treasure hunter who asionally ventures out to sea…”
“Shut up! You answer what we ask you,” the Human Wizard said fiercely, pressing the tip of his magic wand against Hadley Grant’s chin:
“From now on, if you dare utter one more word of nonsense, I’ll pierce a hole in you with this wand!” <div>
...
Hadley Grant’s face showed fear, and he shrank back his neck.
The Human Wizard red at him, retracted the magic wand, and turned sideways to look at the Rock bone Magician behind him.
He bent slightly at the waist, drawing his right arm in front of him, and gestured an inviting hand motion to the Rock bone Magician.
He stepped back a few paces, passing the right to question to the Rock bone Magician.
The status difference between the two was obvious at a nce.
The Rock bone Magician shot a detached gaze from behind the Metal mask toward Hadley Grant and asked:
“Do you remember Nnd Lee Jarvis?”
The Rock bone Magician’s voice was very hoarse.
Hadley Grant was slightly startled when he heard these words; another prediction from the secret letter hade true!
Now, all he needed to do was find a way to lead the two to the Subsea Region specified in the letter, and he could be rescued smoothly!
“Speak up!” The Human Wizard jabbed at Hadley Grant.
Hadley woke from the pain, came to his senses, and nodded hastily:
“Yes, Sir. I remember Nnd Lee Jarvis. What would you like to ask? Please, just ask.”
The Rock bone Magician asked several questions rted to the interactions between Hadley Grant and Nnd Lee.
The secret letter Hadley received had anticipated the current scenario and provided him with a prepared line of thought for answering the questions.
Hadley followed this train of thought, concealing a series of events, such as “Nnd Lee’s defeat of the deep sea Magic Beasts.”
The Rock bone Magician shifted the topic, beginning to narrate about the Deep Sea Branch mining non-metallic ore on Nnd Lee’s four Inds.
This, however, touched upon Hadley Grant’s blind spot…
He was merely a Deep-sea Wizard capable of sailing and swimming; how would he know the ins and outs of prospecting and mining non-metallic ore?
A look of thick confusion painted Hadley Grant’s face.
“Your Excellency, you might be asking the wrong person. I don’t know why the Deep Sea Branch is mining Jarvis’s inds…”
Hadley looked somewhat dumbfounded:
“As for the Nonmetal Mineral Distribution Map you mentioned, honestly, I have no idea where Jarvis obtained it from…”
Hadley scratched his head, asking in confusion:
“Why don’t you two directly ask Jarvis? I have his Messenger ne postal code, if you need it, I can give it to you right now.”
“Who told you to babble…” The Human Wizard was about to scold the overly talkative Hadley but was cut off by a gesture from the Rock bone Magician.
“Wait, what did you just say? You have Nnd Lee Jarvis’s Messenger ne postal code?” the Rock bone Magician asked.
“Yes, Your Excellency,” Hadley nodded earnestly.
After a moment of contemtion, the Rock bone Magician said:
“Then you write a letter to Nnd Lee Jarvis, and try to fish out his exact location. If you can cooperate with us to find him, then we won’t make things difficult for you—provided that you willingly drink this Oblivion Potion and forget everything that happened today.”
Hadley grimly said:
“Alright, Your Excellency. I can only trust you.”
“Give him his Magic Pouch,” the Rock bone Magicianmanded, motioning the Human Wizard to return the pouch while speaking sternly:
“Don’t think about ying tricks, Hadley. Our patience is based on your cooperation.”
“Yes, yes, Your Excellency,” Hadley replied deferentially, bowing slightly.
He took the Magic Pouch, carefully extracting Letter Paper, Magic Pen, and the Postal Code Book.
After much pondering, Hadley finallypleted the letter.
The Rock bone Magician reviewed the letter, ensuring there was nothing odd in the content before allowing Hadley to send it off.
Now it was a waiting game.
After about five minutes, Hadley’s Magic Conch appeared in the Ship Cabin.
It wrapped the Reply in Bubbles and ced it on the Tabletop before swiftly retreating into the Messenger ne.
The Human Wizard checked the Envelope, opened the Letter Paper, and handed it to the Rock bone Magician.
The two leaned in together and read the content of the letter, and a sinisterugh resounded in the cabin.
“Heh heh heh…” The Human Wizard sneered at the Rock bone Magician:
“Sir, we’ve pinpointed Nnd Lee Jarvis’s general location. No wonder we couldn’t find his whereabouts; he’s been at sea hunting Deep Sea Beasts.”
The reply from Nnd merely mentioned his hunting of Deep Sea Beasts in the ckfold Sea, without specifying exactly where.
The ckfold Sea was vast, and just knowing he was there was of no use at all.
But nothing is absolute.
The ckfold Sea bordered Alchemist Ind, the west and south sides of Kashel Continent, and the Suman Archipgo.
ording to the customary hunting rules of the three ces, boats that set out from the Suman Archipgo would at most patrol the southeast part of the ckfold Sea.
If one were willing to spend time inquiring, it was still possible to discover Nnd’s whereabouts.
The two individuals in front of Hadley seeminglycked the time.
They pressed Hadley to write another letter, one that would definitely reveal Nnd Lee Jarvis’s exact location.
This approach might alert Nnd Lee Jarvis, everything depending on how Hadley wrote the letter.
