Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 743: 237. Squeezing Dread Sail

The Charnel family’s inheritance system is very different from the Pangula family’s.

The Charnel family follows a system of primogeniture, where only the eldest child of each family branch has the right to inherit. Only after the death of the eldest child would the next eldest child possess the right of inheritance.

For this reason, the Charnel family only has five heirs, corresponding to its five family branches.

These five branches are located at trade hubs around the world.

Here, on the Suman Archipelago, the head of the family, the first in line to inherit, Lape Chanal, is the principal.

His sons and daughters assist him, forming a management model bound by blood ties.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Noland Lee feels this inheritance and management model is somewhat better than the Pangula family’s cumbersome inheritance system.

The Pangula family has 25 heirs, their inter-competition exceeds the internal collaboration within each family branch.

However, the Charnel family is different.

They have transformed the competitive and discordant relations among family branch members into interpersonal conflicts, which do not escalate to a struggle for inheritance rights.

This inadvertently makes the inheritance and operation of the Charnel family much more stable.

Um, but even so, the local Charnel family is still riddled with infiltrations by the Tide Spy.

It’s unavoidable.

After all, the Charnel family owns the largest fleet of trade ships.

Those trade fleets sailing at sea are the prime targets for the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.

It is inevitable that the Dread Sail Pirate Nation would put all their efforts into infiltrating the Charnel family.

After Noland Lee finished reading the deconstruction results of Parika, a subsequent plan emerged in his mind.

Normally, if wizard criminals are found at sea, the Charnel family’s patrol wizards would transport them to the prison on the sea platform and notify the Island Affairs Department to take over.

But are there any Tide Spies on the sea platform?

Regrettably, no.

Noland Lee has repeatedly confirmed that there are no Tide Spies on the sea platform. This place is personally guarded by Lape Chanal’s youngest son.

The Dread Sail Pirates have only managed to infiltrate up to the level of the sea patrol team captains, but not yet corrupting the blood relatives of Lape Chanal and their vassals.

After Noland Lee clarified this situation, he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh,

“Ah, I was hoping to have a fair duel with the Tide Spy on the sea platform. But now there is no chance. There are no Tide Spies on the sea platform, but there are some in the other sea patrol teams. But those teams do not patrol on my return route, so it’s hard for me to encounter them…”

Noland Lee took out the spoils of war he had collected from the four criminals and began to tally them up in the captain’s quarters.

All four criminals were deep-sea wizards by appearance.

They each carried a magic book used for revisiting spells and meditation techniques.

There were two sets of these magic books.

One set was from the Deep Sea Branch, and the other was from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.

Noland Lee sorted through Parika’s belongings and extracted the magic books related to the Deep Sea Branch.

There was a book on meditation methods, which recorded the practice content of the “Tidal Surge Meditation Technique” from the first to the sixth ring.

The other was a spell book, titled “Deep Sea Branch Spell Compendium”, which recorded conventional and high-level deep-sea spells.

These two books have no negative effects, so Noland Lee could use the regular deconstruction method to deconstruct them.

The “Tidal Surge” meditation technique primarily prioritizes “Spirit” and the secondary attributes are “Agility” and “Willpower”. The effect of the meditation method is to lessen the corrosiveness of seawater.

Noland Lee has learned this meditation technique but has no plans to practice it at the moment.

The main reason is that he currently doesn’t want to increase “Spirit”, he is more inclined to increase “Willpower”.

“Strong Metal Fusion” and “Deep Sea Scales” meditation techniques are more suited to his needs.

From the book “Deep Sea Branch Spell Compendium”, Noland Lee deconstructed fifteen spell blueprints, all were deep-sea spells from the Deep Sea Branch.

Deep-sea spells can be cast in both land and seawater environments.

The spell effect is significantly reduced in a terrestrial environment, but achieves normal effects in seawater.

Moreover, when casting in a terrestrial environment, deep-sea wizards must first transform deep-sea mana into seawater, and then cast deep-sea spells utilizing the seawater generated by the spell.

This undoubtedly increases casting consumption.

An interesting point is that, Noland Lee discovered a little secret of the Deep Sea Branch.

Although the branch carries the word “deep-sea”, they actually practice water magic.

They use the “Tidal Surge” meditation technique to neutralize the corrosiveness of deep-sea mana, and then treat it as water energy.

Their deep-sea spells are also adapted from the water spells of the Energy Shaping Branch.

This is why deep-sea spells from the Deep Sea Branch can be used in both freshwater and seawater.

Of the 15 spell blueprints that Noland Lee had obtained, 14 were conventional spells.

These blueprints were complete.

The only incomplete spell blueprint pointed to a high-level deep-sea spell, “Water Tornado Summoning.”

Noland Lee is able to cast this high-level spell without permission from professors of the Deep Sea Branch. However, the spell consumption fee is three times the normal rate.

Noland Lee sorted through these 15 blueprints and selected those that were related to underwater operations.

Water Jet, the “Water Flow” spell for propelling the body forward;

Water Pressure Relief, the spell for preventing the body from being flattened by seawater: “Water Pressure Relief”.
