Chapter 353: 131. Counterfeit Genius
This hardworking witch, who accompanied Noland Lee, possessed three magic rings.
She had exchanged these rings for Rebirth Magic Power from the professor.
One of these rings was a magic ring entwined in dark pink threads.
It recorded three Illusion Magic spells:
Illusionary Body Technique, Illusionary Shadow Technique, and Tree Shadow Lost Trace.
Illusionary Body Technique allowed Denise Green’s shadow to blend into her surroundings, entering a stealth mode suitable for use while moving.
Illusionary Shadow Technique] could summon illusions resembling Denise Green’s appearance to help her divert the enemy’s attention.
Tree Shadow Lost Trace was an Illusion Magic spell that could be maintained for an extended time in a stationary state. It would create a small Illusion Forest around Denise Green, concealing her shadow.
From the outside, onlookers would have their line of sight blocked by the illusionary trunks and branches. If they entered rashly, they could lose their way in the Illusion Forest.
Noland Lee didn’t need to worry about that.
He flew directly into the Illusion Forest and found Denise Green sitting in a chair at its deepest point.
This lady had a magic pouch full of peculiar things.
These included two wooden chairs with backrests, a round wooden table, a magic kettle that automatically heated water, and a simple bookcase for holding magic books.
Now, Denise Green had taken these things out and placed them on an open space in the Illusion Forest.
She lazily leaned back in the chair, flipping through a book with an invisible [Mage’s Hand].
It must be said, she really knew how to enjoy herself.
Noland Lee turned back to human form and chuckled:
“It seems that having you accompany me hasn’t tired you out. That’s great.”
Denise Green raised the corner of her mouth playfully, and motioned for the [Mage’s Hand] to pass Noland Lee a teacup:
“Sit down and rest, you’ve been busy for almost a day and a night.”
Noland Lee didn’t stand on ceremony, drinking the tea in one gulp and sitting down heavily.
He leaned against the soft chair back and sighed comfortably:
“I’ve got the Life Elixir, a total of 100,000 vials. They’re all in your possession now.”
Noland Lee placed the briefcase on the round table.
Denise Green took out her magic pouch and moved all the glass vials from the briefcase into the pouch, muttering:
“The Life Elixir’s Extraordinary Traits have been removed, retaining only the most basic effects of the medicine. On this level, its healing effect is equivalent to that of the small healing mushrooms from the Kashel Continent. The unit price of small healing mushrooms has been stable at 10 Ulnas silver coins. 100,000 vials of Life Elixir would correspond to 1 million Ulnas silver coins…Hmm…let me see, converted to Ulnas Circular Gold Coins, that would be 1,000 gold coins.”
Denise Green put away the Life Elixir, took out a small notebook for keeping accounts, and wrote a few strokes:
“Mage’s merchant ships between Alchemist Island and Kashel Continent sail every two months. The next arrival at the Golden Federation will be in three weeks. By then, there will definitely be a wizard caravan passing through Union City. We can sell the Life Elixir to them in exchange for Ulnas gold coins. The wizard caravans must have large-denomination gold coins. We will receive one large-denomination gold coin with a face value of 1,000, so we don’t have to carry thousands of gold coins.”
“Alright, let’s do it your way.” Noland Lee nodded.
Why not exchange Life Elixir for Union Coins used locally in Union City?
It’s easy to understand.
There were once many small and large kingdoms on Alchemist Island.
Today, there are only two kingdoms left on the island.
One is the Golden Federation where Noland Lee was currently located, and the other was the Tatis Empire, where he had once been.
Whether it was the Golden Federation or the Tatis Empire, both countries were minor on a global scale—the Golden Federation was slightly better off.
Due to its extreme isolation, the Tatis Empire’s New Solon Currency wasn’t recognized by any other country.
The mainstream currency of the Golden League was Gold Coin, not Union Coin.
Due to the unique environment of Union City, only Union Coins could be used here, and they couldn’t be exchanged for Gold Coin. This was a decisive measure taken by the Alchemy Cathedral to avoid various troubles.
New Solon Currency couldn’t circulate, and Union Coins had no value outside Union City.
In view of this situation, to ensure that the coins they had retained their purchasing power after leaving Alchemist Island by boat, Noland Lee and Denise Green decided to stockpile Ulnas gold coins.
As for matters related to managing their finances and spoils of war, they would leave them to Denise Green.
Noland Lee just needed to focus on fighting.
He might have to venture into the Fissure soon, so it was time to start preparing.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to go with you, Noland?” Denise Green blinked, watching Noland Lee get his backpack ready.
Noland Lee shook his head and said:
“No need, Denise Green. You can just wait for me here. Check your Rebirth Magic Power again.”
“Alright.” Denise Green obediently closed her eyes, activated her Meditation Method, and sank into her own Spiritual Ocean.
Two seconds later, she opened her eyes and said:
“I’ve checked, I still have 612 points of Rebirth Magic Power left. Before receiving your message, I won’t use any Rebirth Magic Power. I’ll save it for an emergency evacuation from the nest with you. It’s my first time teleporting someone with me, I don’t know if it’ll be successful…”
