…
“The Tide Spy… I feel like I’ve seen this term somewhere.”
Noland Lee thought to himself.
He vaguely remembered that when he killed those six wanted criminals, the term “Tide Spy” appeared in one of the memory fragments of a wanted criminal.
Noland searched his mind and finally found the corresponding content in the sixth wanted criminal’s memory fragment.
This sixth wanted criminal had Four-Ring’s strength, 148 Spirit attribute points, and was only two Spirit points away from the threshold of advancing to Five Rings.
After having a psychic connection with a Pirate Professor, this wanted criminal once muttered a sentence, roughly meaning that he was envious of the Tide Spy and wanted to apply to become one after becoming a Five-Ring Dread Sail Wizard in the future.
When Noland first read this memory fragment, he didn’t pay much attention to that sentence, just considering it as the other party’s vision for the future.
Now, combined with the results of the Imposter Butler’s deconstruction, Noland knew why the sixth wanted criminal was envious.
It turned out that the so-called “Tide Spy” was actually a spy planted by the Dread Sail Pirate Nation in various families.
No wonder the Four-Ring Dread Sail Wizard was envious and jealous.
Look at Imposter Butler Heramat. When he went in and out of the manor, there were a large number of followers behind him, as well as many magic servants to help.
He handed over trivial tasks to his subordinates and left unresolved problems for his master Dickler Fegan. As long as he didn’t make any mistakes, he could always sit in the Welcoming Butler’s position.
Before, Noland had asked Kaiden a question:
“For a butler like you, if you cut corners and fill your pockets, would you worry about being fired by your master?”
Old Kaiden patted his chest, assuring that he had never embezzled Sienna’s money, then explained the origin of the butler and answered Noland’s doubts.
It turned out that there was also an inheritance system for the butlers of the family branch heirs.
Initially, the family branch leader would have one to three butlers. Regardless of gender, the descendants of these butlers would replace their parents and become the butlers of the family branch leader after they come of age.
The exception was when the younger butler, who was supposed to replace the old one, died unexpectedly; the old butler would continue to serve until he had new descendants.
The butler thus became a part of the Wizard Familiar’s system.
After learning about this, Noland analyzed the core of it.
Since this is a world where extraordinary power prevails, the butler who is often in contact with the master must be absolutely loyal.
If they were to choose a butler through recruitment like in world without extraordinary power, the masters of this world would have to be very cautious, worried that a butler with no loyalty would use their extraordinary power to launch sneak attacks.
Noland pondered the butler inheritance system and decided that if he were to plant spies within a family, he would choose the position of a butler. The reason was that he could access core secrets and muddle through while also making a legitimate fortune.
But the problem is, how did this Tide Spy impersonate the original butler?
And what does he rely on to keep himself from being discovered by his master, Dickler Fegan?
Just as Noland was considering whether or not to spend more energy points to check more panel information of the imposter butler, there was some movement at the manor gate.
The imposter butler greeted the visitors with a smile, a cheerful tone, and courteous enthusiasm.
His servants stood on both sides of the manor’s flower-lined avenue, playing cheerful music with their instruments, adding a festive atmosphere to the scene.
Visitors needed an invitation letter to enter the manor.
As long as they had the invitation letter in hand, they only needed to show it to the butler guarding the gate when entering the manor.
Now was not a good time to linger outside the door, otherwise armed servants would consider them as people without invitation letters. At best, they would be questioned, and at worst, they would be expelled from the island.
Noland reached into his coat pocket and held the invitation he had received a few days ago in his hand, following the crowd in line to enter the manor.
Among the crowd lined up in front of him, there were many Five-Ring, Sixth-Ring, and even Seven-Ring wizards who had not noticed any abnormalities in the Imposter Butler.
Noland thought for a moment and decided not to meddle in the matter.
He had only two purposes for coming here:
First, to deconstruct the Demon Spirit Wizard beside Dickler Fegan and acquire the skill experience of “Energy Molding Magic.”
Second, to find a chance to deconstruct the books, documents, and letters next to Dickler Fegan, as well as the important guests who met with him.
The deconstruction results of these things and people often hid opportunities to make a fortune or other important information.
As he desperately needed gold coins, Noland had to seize every legal opportunity to get rich.
As for whether he must become the Pangula Family’s advisor…
