Chapter 325: 126. Earth’s Crustal Change_4

The Tomb King’s party, Nikcat and his companions, scattered in place, transforming into a pile of white bones.
The bone piles floated into the air, forming a bone storm around the central axis.
Bones connected head -to-tail, converging on a central spine within the storm.
In less than 30 seconds, the original three skeletons transformed into a small, plump skeleton adept at maneuvering through the tunnels.
Finally, the Savage Stone Wasteland bid farewell to the clamor and welcomed tranquility.
Inside the magical car.
Noland Lee was recalling Denise Green’s glance at the magic car. Somehow, the witch had detected its presence, but for some unknown reason, she didn’t say much about it.
Philia was holding a telescope, examining the abandoned building. Suddenly, half-asleep and half-awake, she received instructions from the Lecturer Professor in a trance of two seconds.
“The Lecturer Professor says that our Chief Sorcerer of Elemental Judgement has already been in contact with the Tomb King, Night Spirit Cult, and Hotams. The Tomb King can take away two-thirds of the bone material on the Bone-mending Wand, the Night Spirit Cult can take away one-third of the wand core and one-third of the bone material, while Hotams will pay remuneration for the knowledge of the undead spirits they will gain,” she reported.
Philia relayed the professor’s words to Noland Lee:
“The professor asked me to wait here. If everything goes well, we can take two-thirds of the wand core and a magical contract book with us. As long as we get these things, Elemental Judgement will not pursue the Tomb King and the other parties for their rule-breaking teleportation… It seems that it has nothing to do with us, Ray. We can just wait here.”
It was so harmonious… Noland Lee admitted that he hadn’t anticipated that things would develop this way.
However, thinking about it, it made sense.
Both the Tomb King and the Night Spirit Cult, as well as Hotams’ branch of Death Wizards, were all well-established and legitimate wizard forces within the Ulnas Circle.
Each party had cooperated multiple times, forming a tacit understanding long ago.
For example, between Academy Wizard Sharp and Ancient Tomb Wizard Nikcat.
The two spoke fewer than ten sentences from beginning to end, yet they avoided conflicts and misunderstandings. They set aside their differences within the Death Series to jointly plan for the Bone-mending Wand.
This shows that there are hidden, unwritten rules formed between the old forces within the Ulnas Circle.
In the end, only the Death Herald Guild suffered heavy losses in this event of plundering the Bone-mending Wand. Other forces didn’t make a huge fortune, but at least they ended up with safezone.
The Death Herald Guild had only themselves to blame.
They were the ones who first broke the rules by entering the Fission Wilderness, providing a legal pretext for other wandering wizards to intervene in the case.
Focusing on who played the biggest role in this incident, Noland Lee thought it was himself…
If he hadn’t encountered Greenshaw at the Narrow Pass of the Empire, there wouldn’t have been any conflict between them.
For Death Herald Guild, infiltrating the defense of the Empire’s army would presumably be easy for Greenshaw.
If the Death Herald Guild really wanted to hold someone accountable, they should blame Greenshaw. If he hadn’t meddled with Noland’s disguise, everything would have been fine. Noland and he would have gone their separate ways, not bothering each other, and none of this whole succession of events about competing for the Bone-mending Wand would have happened.
However, there was one thing that Noland couldn’t figure out:
Who brought the Bone-mending Wand to Savage Stone Wasteland?
The Aberration?
Samuelson?
Or some other hidden person or thing?
Noland didn’t know if he was overthinking the matter, but he felt that the events of everyone competing for the Bone-mending Wand that night were not that simple.
At least, he’d stay vigilant until he figured out who brought the Wand to the Savage Stone Wasteland.
“Boom!”
About 20 minutes after Sheldon Archer and the others went underground, the ground began to tremble inexplicably, with sand on the surface of the dunes sliding down.
The left front wheel of the magic car sank into the sand pit, causing the car to tilt.
Philia quickly put down the telescope, started the magic car, and hovered it a few meters above the ground.
“Boom…boom…boom…’
Earthquake roars came from the underground.
Noland Lee and Philia clung to the car window, heart pounding.
They observed the sand sea below, rolling like drumskin, with sand and stone flying. Huge rocks jumped up to several meters high and then fell heavily, creating holes and splashing sand everywhere.
“Philia, fly a bit higher. The earthquake in the Savage Stone Wasteland is strong!” Noland said calmly.
“Yes!” Philia pulled the lever, controlling the magic car to soar into the sky.
The magic car could not only withstand external attacks, wind during flight, but also explosions, booms, and shock waves caused by collisions and sound waves.
The earthquake that set off the violent movements of the sand sea appeared torrential and unstoppable, creating a majestic scene of raging sand and swirling dust in the night sky.
Luckily, Noland had promptly asked Philia to rise into the air, and thankfully, the magic car’s defensive performance was excellent. Otherwise, the situation they faced wouldn’t have been as simple as the slight trembling of the car body.
“Philia, let’s leave the Savage Stone Wasteland quickly. This earthquake doesn’t seem to be going to stop easily.” Amid the humming noise in the car, Noland shouted at Philia.
“Alright! We will come back after the earthquake is over!” Philia turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, driving towards the horizon while puzzledly saying:
