Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 421: 145. Rational Revenge

“Samuelson must have taken refuge in Black City by now, right? Do you really think he’s the only wizard criminal hiding there?” Morster asked.

“What do you mean?” Noland Lee sensed something unexpected.

As he pondered, Morster spoke:

“I’m not clear on all the details, but from what I know, there are plenty of potential partners for Military Intelligence Department Five within Black City. Some are illegal alchemists who have been residing there for a long time. Others are wizard criminals studying aberrations. And then there are the nominally missing wandering wizards.”

“Nominally missing wandering wizards?” Curiously, Noland Lee thought of Hickman Arlington.

“Yes, nominally missing,” Morster explained:

“You see, Jarvis, under normal circumstances, wandering wizards, unless granted permission by Elemental Judgment, are not allowed to privately investigate the secrets of aberrations or study aberration magic. To bypass the restrictions set by Elemental Judgement, they might fake their disappearance and fall off Elemental Judgement’s radar.

“For example, a wandering wizard is besieged by a Black City Alchemist and taken prisoner into Black City. The prisoner is forced to wear an ‘Imprisonment Collar’ to sever ties with the main lecturer. After this operation, the wandering wizard is, in name, missing and can freely do as they please within Black City. These intentionally missing wandering wizards often carry secret missions from their main lecturers, the kind of missions which would be problematic if discovered by the First-Level Magic Research Institute.”
