Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 383: 137. Boarding and Reconnaissance

Translator: 549690339

After hearing that bio-soldiers were used as power sources for the ship, Derek looked around and asked:

“Does anyone know how much thrust is needed to drive that cargo ship? How many bio-soldiers are needed to produce that thrust? There can’t be hundreds or thousands of bio-soldiers on that ship, can there? How is this different from declaring war on the Alchemy Cathedral?”

“Letcalculate it, letcalculate…”

Hudson’s arms waved in the air like octopus tentacles. He pictured the layout of the cargo ship in his mind while mumbling:

“Sail room, coal storage, burning chamber, these places are all occupied, so we have to subtract the weight of coal from the overall weight of the ship. Assuming the ship is fully loaded, it would need at least 1,000 horsepower of continuous thrust to sail at sea. Does anyone know how much thrust a bio-soldier can provide?”

Everyone turned to look at Noland Lee again.

Noland spread his hands:

“Sorry, folks. The information I received doesn’t have detailed data on bio-soldiers. This is Tatis Empire’s Division Intelligence Unit Three’s top secret. I only saw images of bio-soldiers, this is the first tI see the real thing. Let’s assthe worst case scenario. For example, the ship is filled with bio-soldiers, stacking together like bricks, at least a thousand or two.”

The scene was silent for a few seconds.

Derek clapped his hands:

“Noland is right, we have to be prepared for the worst. First, we use diving equipment to secretly board the ship and determine the number of goods and bio-soldiers on board. If the reconnaissance results are astonishing, then we will trigger a fog in this sea area and trap the ship at sea. Also, report to the Alchemy Cathedral, and let the sanctuary alchemist handle this cargo ship.”

As Derek issued instructions, the cabin becbusy.

Miss ESmith used alchemical sea fish to monitor the cargo ship. Hudson and other exploration team members cooperated to divide their work. Speople operated the ship to approach the cargo ship invisibly, while others prepared diving equipment.

Boarding reconnaissance is a very dangerous task, and any carelessness can expose traces.

Theoretically speaking, using Noland Lee’s mental magic for reconnaissance is the safest and most reliable way.

But Noland didn’t want to expose his trump card.

He decided to personally board the ship to inspect the situation.

In just a short time, Noland had walked around the cargo ship using “Vision Leap”. He couldn’t find the Imperial Major’s whereabouts.

The guy locked himself in the completely enclosed captain’s quarters and didn’t cout.

At the stime, only one magic vision could be effective. When Noland activated the “Mind View”, he couldn’t activate the “Life and Death Tracking”.

So if the target is hiding in a closed space that is not connected to the outside world and has no transparent windows, Noland can’t see them with “Mind View”.

This was the case with the Imperial Major.

To deconstruct him, Noland had to board the ship. Activate “Life and Death Tracking” at close range, look through the captain’s quarters, and then deconstruct the target.

Another reason forcing Noland to board was to protect Derek and the others. Noland didn’t want to see unnecessary casualties due to an infiltration operation.

Whether it’s a failed operation or a casualty, it’s not the result Noland wants to see.

He found Derek and discussed with him before proposing to participate in the infiltration operation personally.

Derek wanted to refuse it at first.

But he quickly changed his mind because of Noland’s actions.

Noland put an iron ring on his finger and activated the magic on the ring, showing off the “Sense Tampering” to Derek.

After getting the “The River of Mind·Middle Volume”, Noland learned a few new mental magic techniques.

“Sense Tampering” was one of them.

This mental magic had big value.

“Perception Obstruction” is just simply reducing the perception range.

“Sense Tampering” is tampering with the target’s perception result.

It can make a person mistake an apple for a pear, and a plunger for a soup spoon.

And it can also make a living person becair in the eyes of the target.

After applying “Sense Tampering” to Derek, Noland’s presence in Derek’s eyes beczero, just like air.

While demonstrating this magic, Noland was standing right in front of Derek, five meters away from him.

Derek should still be able to see him as long as he isn’t blind.

In reality, Derek couldn’t notice Noland’s existence even when staring directly at Noland’s direction, as if Noland wasn’t standing there at all.

That’s the power of “Sense Tampering”.

Of course, since the level of this spell differs too much from Derek’s level, the spell only lasted for about 1 second before losing effect. Derek rubbed his eyes, focused his attention, and looked intently. He immediately noticed Noland standing in front of him.

Even Derek, a fifth-order alchemist, would be affected by “Sense Tampering”, let alone the people of the Empire on that cargo ship.

As for why he doesn’t pretend to use the magic ring to cast “Mind Beacon” and “Mind View” for reconnaissance.

Noland carefully considered this issue.

The main reason is that “Mind Beacon” is a high-level mental magic, very rare, and can only be cast with the authorization of a lecturer professor.

For him, a Death Clan Wizard, having a magic ring engraved with ordinary mental magic is barely acceptable.
