Noland Lee cast Deconstruction, and after confirming that “being tampered with perception” appeared on the lady housekeeper’s status bar, he opened the bedroom door.
He took the letter from her hand and said solemnly:
“You must have heard the shouting in the street. Go meet up with the people from Iron Thorn Shield and leave the city as soon as possible.”
The shouts for evacuation made the lady housekeeper anxious, but she didn’t dare disturb the secluded Noland Lee because she valued her hard-earned job. It wasn’t until she received the urgent letter from the Cat Society that she came to knock on his door.
After getting Noland Lee’s approval, she asked anxiously:
“Sir, aren’t you leaving? Do you need me to prepare a vehicle?”
Noland Lee shook his head slightly and responded calmly:
“No need, you go first. Be quick.”
“Alright, sir. I’ll pack up right away.”
The lady housekeeper hurriedly turned to leave, but Noland Lee stopped her.
“Wait, packing will take too long. Just take my backpack and give it to Kent, Derek, or Cindy.”
Noland Lee handed the backpack with the folding space to the lady housekeeper, urging the confused woman to go:
“Go on. Inside there are clothes, food, medicine, and Union Coins. Your two children and your husband are already in the car, don’t worry about them.”
“Thank you, sir. How do you know… ”
Noland Lee knew what she wanted to ask, but now wasn’t the time to explain.
Noland Lee waved his hand and, without further ado, pushed the lady housekeeper toward the staircase:
“Go. We’ll talk about it later. Hurry up.”
“Yes, sir. Thank you. Bless you.” The lady housekeeper hurriedly walked down the stairs, ran towards the door, and left the small cottage with the closing of the door.
Noland Lee watched the approaching Iron Thorn Shield motorcycles on the “CCTV Camera.”
The lady housekeeper met the Iron Thorn Shield members face to face and boarded Mark’s motorcycle. Instead of heading towards the cottage, the teams turned around and drove to the city gate based on the housekeeper’s words.
Mark and other Security Team Members showed solemn expressions while people on the streets were in a hurry. Some even tripped and fell, almost getting stepped upon by others behind them.
This disaster, which started from the deepest part of the Fissure Corridor, had not yet spread to the ground level, but it had already caused waves throughout the city.
Noland Lee interrupted “Mind View” and looked back just as Denise Green took a deep breath, completing the transfer of her soul.
Noland Lee went up to her and placed his hand on the Soul Stone containing the soul of Nicolette, transferring a large amount of Soul Strength into it.
The invisible energy waves emanated from his hand, intense enough for Denise Green to detect their presence.
“What are you doing?” Denise Green whispered.
“I’m providing sustenance for this little one.” Noland Lee withdrew his hand.
The sudden loss of over a thousand Soul Strengths made him feel a strange emptiness at the soul level, as if there was something substantial to his hunger.
When he absorbed over two thousand Soul Strengths in one breath, he didn’t feel full or enriched. However, when he released more than a thousand Soul Strengths, he felt hungry…
It was really odd.
Noland Lee shook his head, driving away the emptiness of the soul from his mind.
He pressed his left hand on the blood-colored array and checked the things in the Blood Haven, while saying:
“Denise, take the Soul Stone and leave the city. Wait for me outside.”
After Denise Green put the Soul Stone in her Magic Pouch, she asked:
“What about you?”
“I have to go underground. I’ll see if the Combat Alchemists need any help.”
Noland Lee smiled at the worried Denise Green:
“Don’t worry about me. Just wait for me outside the city with peace of mind. If something goes wrong, I’ll let you come get me right away.”
Noland Lee’s tone was calm and soothing.
Denise Green’s worries were put to rest, and she gently replied:
“Alright, I’ll wait for you outside. If you need my help, just tell me. I’ll be there for you anytime.”
“Okay, go ahead. I’ll check the magical items before heading underground.” Noland Lee took off the ring on his finger:
“Oh, and here’s this. You should wear this Illusion Ring. Stay as far away from the crowd as possible.”
“Okay, I’ll go now.” Denise Green took the ring and put it on herself.
After packing her personal belongings in the house, she activated “Death Flight” on her magic robe and cast “Illusionary Body Technique” from the Illusion Ring and flew out of the small cottage in an invisible state.
Looking at Denise Green’s actions, Noland Lee nodded with satisfaction.
Instead of flying out in the open, Denise Green chose to cover herself with “Illusionary Body Technique” without being reminded.
This was enough to show that she was not a useless vase.
She clearly remembered Noland Lee’s previous reminder – try not to let others know about their contract relationship. She also proved with her actions that she had remembered that deeply.
Facing such a companion who wouldn’t hold him back, Noland Lee couldn’t help but feel satisfied.
“Alright, let’s take another trip underground. Now that there aren’t many people there, take whatever we can.”
Noland Lee counted on his fingers and found that he was waiting for quite a few items to be recovered.
River of Mind: The Lower Scroll, Resourceful Sage Space, and a warehouse full of alchemy weaponry were three possible items that had to be taken.
As for the rest, it would all depend on the situation. Take it if you can, and never mind if you can’t.
Now, besides Combat Alchemists in the underground passage, there should be one more person there.
That would be Philia’s mentor.
Noland Lee observed the Cat Society Manor and confirmed that this well-dressed and elegant Wizard mentor did not appear in the teams.
So, there’s only one answer. She also went underground and did so after receiving the order.
Noland Lee had always been curious about her strength level, and now it was a good time to see for himself.
