Constructing-Style Wizard

The fog condensed on the tabletop into a soul contract book.

Erica took a magic pen and an eraser tool and, on the spot, modified some of the contract’s terms before handing it to Noland Lee.

The soul contract book was quite large.

It had two scroll tubes, each with a diameter of about 10 centimeters. The sheepskin scroll wrapped around the tubes was at least three meters long.

“You can read the contract here. Make sure you read it carefully. It will take quite some time. I’ll go teach the wizard students you saw earlier. In about an hour, the class will end, and I’ll come back to find you.”

Erica’s style was decisive and efficient. After arranging a table and chair for Noland Lee in the study, she left the study room, shrouded in a gray haze.

Noland Lee looked left and right. He was the only living thing left in the study.

Well, not quite.

There was also the parrot messenger cocking its head at him and the young tree “standing in the corner” in the culture tank.

Noland Lee sat down by the desk, opened the contract, and began reading it carefully.

Of course, the first step was to cast Deconstruction.

It took a whopping 6,000 energy points for him to absorb the more than 60,000-word contract into his knowledge reserve.

Noland Lee went over the contract in his mind and roughly understood why there were so many words.

This was not just a contract full of terms; it also served as an introductory guide.

In the latter half of the contract, Erica devoted a significant portion of text to the history of the Silent Maiden, the pros and cons of The Voice of Silence meditation method, and the strengths, weaknesses, and usage limitations of silent death spells.

The development of the Silent Maiden could be described as a rocky road.

According to statistics, to date, a total of 994 witches have joined the Silent Maiden.

80% were originally male, with about 800 people. Only 10% of them were willing to stay. The rest destroyed their “Magic Power Containers” and turned back into males.

Without the Magic Power Container, everything had to start from scratch. Fortunately, their previous meditation and spell casting experience remained, so they quickly became wizards again, with their own spiritual ocean.

20% of the members were originally female. Due to their inherently delicate nature, many of them died or were injured during law enforcement, with less than 10% surviving to this day.

So why do silent witches have to become Wizard Enforcers?

This is related to The Voice of Silence meditation method.

Professor Erica said in the contract that she was originally a princess of a certain kingdom.

After the kingdom was destroyed by powerful magical beasts, she contemplated the lifeless landscape and had an epiphany: The Voice of Silence meditation method.

She didn’t mention the specific history of the kingdom in the contract, only saying that it followed the Way of the Knight and wielded a Knightly martial art called “White Spirit Swordsmanship.”

Today, this “White Spirit Swordsmanship” has been transformed by her into the Silent Maiden’s magic sword technique, the one Comini used against Noland Lee. The Voice of Silence meditation method has also become the exclusive possession of every silent witch.

The Voice of Silence meditation method can guide wizards to extract silent power from the “scenes of silence after death.”

Any “scene of silence after death” can serve as a source of magic power. Slaughter, plunder, execution, murder, etc. No matter how the “death” occurs, as long as it’s a “post-death” scene, it can provide silent power.

If left unchecked, the silent power, with its law-breaking effect, would lead silent witches on a path of indiscriminate killing.

After realizing the fatal temptation of silent power, Claudia Erica immediately and decisively reached an eternal self-restraint contract with the Ulnas Circle Law Enforcement Department.

From this contract on, all silent witches must become Wizard Enforcers and can only draw silent power from the corpses of criminals, non-human magical creatures, monsters, and other hostile beings. Only in this way can the indiscriminate killing of innocents by silent witches be prevented.

When Noland Lee came across this part, he almost applauded, cheering for this pioneer of silent witches who shared his ideals. Both believed that great power must be used to maintain order and justice and should not become a tool of violence.

There was much more to the content Erica wrote about in the contract, including aspects related to daily practice. This part of the content perfectly filled in Noland Lee’s knowledge gap in daily practice.

After reading it carefully, Noland Lee summarized many aspects relevant to himself.

Among the more critical content was the silent power needed for the meditation method he would practice in the future.

In the stages of the wizard apprentice, first ring wizard, and second ring wizard, Noland Lee would temporarily be unable to use the Voice of Silence meditation method he was about to start practicing to extract silent magic power from the natural world.

In these three stages, he would either use his own collected soul energy to practice The Voice of Silence or complete the classroom assignments given by the professor in exchange for the silent power he needed for practice.

The better he completed the classroom assignments and the higher his quiz scores, the more silent power he would gain in his daily learning process.
