Constructing-Style Wizard

: 188. “Level Determining Competition”_3

Noland Lee waited quietly on the side, recalling the common knowledge of an Enforcer he had acquired from Comini.

Was it possible for him, who was on the surface merely a First-Level Silent Mage, to accept a Sin Wizard Wanted Order?

The answer was yes.

Not just the Sin Wizard level, even if it was a wanted order for Disaster and Annihilating Wizard levels, he could accept them as well.

This was associated with the Enforcer’s credit system established by the Wizard Enforcement Department.

Noland Lee had just become a Silent Enforcer not long ago, and his Enforcer credit was blank. This status was comparable to an LOL account that hadn’t been ranked yet. Unlike playing ten rounds in the LOL ranking game, an Enforcer’s “ranking game” only allowed for one round.

Accepting the Sin Wizard Wanted Order was equivalent to directly facing a gold-ranked opponent in his single “ranking game”.

Should he win, everything would be wonderful. His Enforcer reputation would record a successful arrest of a Sin Wizard offender, and he would receive a reward of 1,000 credit points. From then on, Noland Lee could freely accept any level of wanted orders.

If he lost this “ranking game,” he would be deducted 1,000 credit points and his credit point balance would be -1,000 points, limiting him to only accept Inferior Wizard Wanted Orders.

He would need to complete 10 Inferior Wizard Wanted Orders, gaining 1,000 credit points, to bring his balance back up and then freely accept any level of wanted orders again.

This was how the system worked in the Code of Enforcement Wizards. It prevented people from grabbing warrants indiscriminately, while allowing them to fulfill their potential as law enforcement wizards.

After all, the power to confront criminals directly was only one of the influencing factors. More often, it relied on the enforcer’s own strategies, patience, planning, connections, and other soft powers. These soft powers could not be measured by the wizard levels of Techniques.

Depending purely on the wizard class level of Techniques to determine the warrant levels that law enforcement wizards could accept would only limit their agility.

This enforcer’s credit system had been around for hundreds of years, and its overwhelming support proved its effectiveness.

About five minutes later, Erica picked out a warrant and placed it in front of Noland Lee, asking him to read the contents.

Noland Lee quickly scanned the characters on the warrant and used Deconstruction to process the information in his mind.

[Name]Wizard Criminal – Wanted Order for Moscat

[Level]Sin Wizard Level

[Total Bounty]2.6 Million Gold Coins

This bounty amount is valid up to the date this Wanted Order is issued. To know the latest bounty amount, please contact the Wizard Enforcement Department.

[Briefing on the Crime]

Moscat is a wizard criminal who has mastered the deep-sea magic, a Seventh Ring Combat Wizard. He is serving in the pirate force, known as the Dread Sail Pirate Nation, and is one of the Dread Sail Wizards cultivated by that Pirate Nation.

[Warrant Deadline]Two years from the date of acceptance

[Warrant Instructions]

The Enforcement Wizard who accepts this warrant must report progress routinely to the Hotams Deep Sea Department. The warrant deadline can be extended upon approval from the Deep Sea Department.

Please pay special attention to the following:

Capturing Moscat alive will garner the full bounty.

Bringing Moscat’s soul will receive half of the bounty.

Bringing only Moscat’s whole dead body will earn only one-tenth of the bounty. This is because Moscat has mastered resurrection spells similar to Soul Separation and Soul Revival. Killing his body does not mean his soul has been annihilated.

The bounty will be fairly distributed by the Deep Sea Branch according to the contributions of the Enforcement Wizard.

The Enforcement Wizard who accepts this warrant can inquire about Moscat’s detailed situation from the Deep Sea Branch.

[Overdue Penalty]A fine of 260,000 gold coins, deduction of 1,000 law enforcement credit points.

…

Noland Lee glanced at the other warrants on the table.

Apart from Moscat, the Wizard Criminal who was a Seventh Ring Combat Wizard, all the other Sin Wizard Level criminals who appeared in the Suman Archipelago were at the Eighth Ring combat strength.

Moscat was the weakest, and his total bounty was the lowest as well.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

However, considering the power behind him, pursuing him was like directly confronting the other Deep-sea Combat Wizards of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.

If Noland Lee does not become powerful enough to sweep the Dread Sail Pirate Nation within two years, then he should prepare to pay the fine in advance.

In fact, Erica thought the same way.

After a brief introduction about Moscat, she began to persuade Noland Lee to honestly follow the Magic Ship to Baldur’s Gate instead. From her point of view, it would not be lucrative to take on a fine of 260,000 gold coins and a deduction of 1,000 law enforcement credit points just to save a few months.

Noland Lee appreciated the Professor’s intentions.

After carefully considering his situation, Noland Lee insisted on accepting this Wanted Order.

He had his own reasons and confidence, but it was difficult to articulate these to Erica. Therefore, his persistence seemed like the stubbornness and blind self-confidence of a greenhorn from her perspective.

Well, let this Wanted Order be a lesson to Noland Lee… Erica thought to herself and gently sighed, saying,

“Alright, Jarvis. I’ll help you write a letter to Selena arranging a meeting for you two. This Wanted Order will also be delivered to you by Selena. As for teleporting you and Denise to the Suman Archipelago, it depends on your abilities. If you can convince Selena to consider you and Denise as a whole, that would be great. Otherwise, you will have to pay 100,000 gold coins to purchase a teleportation quota for Denise.”

Facing the heartfelt pleas of the female professor, Noland Lee calmly smiled and said,

“Alright, Professor. Thank you very much. I’ll be going now, wait for my good news.”

Erica wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she sensed either great confidence or ignorance of the impending obstacles in Noland Lee’s smile.

Considering Noland Lee’s age, experience, power, and wealth of experience, he shouldn’t be this carefree. But in view of his habitually cautious and rational approach to things, his composure might have its inner reasons.

Erica was a bit confused for a moment.

“Go then, Jarvis. I’ll write the letter now,” Erica was waving goodbye while controlling the Magic Pen to put words onto the paper.

Noland Lee bowed slightly and disappeared under the blue fumes.
