Chapter 634: 203. Complete Elements_2
Noland Lee held the cat and returned to the study, sat down, and took out the three letters from the letter bag.
The first two were sent by Morster and Kalandi.
The two had reached a trade agreement and agreed on a delivery method. They each sent a letter to Noland Lee explaining the situation.
At this point, the monthly commission of 12,000 gold coins was settled. Noland Lee just had to wait for the money to come in.
The third letter was interesting; it was actually a reply from the housekeeper.
From the speed of the reply, Noland Lee could feel the importance he held in the eyes of the other party and their master.
It was obvious that the 25th Heir was in desperate need of talents.
Noland Lee glanced at the contents of the letter, wrote a simple reply agreeing to meet on time, and then left the study.
The housekeeper scheduled the meeting for tomorrow evening.
In that case, Noland Lee thought he’d better prepare during the day tomorrow.
Noland Lee hugged the Snow-winged Cat, took a deep breath, put it back into the cage on the first floor, and then stepped into the bedroom.

The next evening.
Despite preparing himself for the low overall strength of the 25th Heir, Noland Lee couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that the island where the other party lived was “a bit shabby” when he saw it…
This was a small island about 20 kilometers away from the Inner Circle.
There was a low mountain on the island, less than 100 meters high.
The maximum width of the entire island did not exceed 5 kilometers, covered with dense forests.
At the center of the forest, on top of the low mountain, there was a castle built by hollowing out half of the mountain.
The first to third floors of the castle were inside the mountain, while the fourth and fifth floors protruded out of the mountain, suspended in the air like a pavilion.
From a distance, the castle, covered with moss and vines, looked old and shabby, giving one the feeling that it should have been forgotten in time but was forcibly used as a residence.
Looking at the magical guards on the island…
Two rows of activated armor welcomed them, with a total of no more than 20, which was really not impressive.
Standing before the activated armor was an old man dressed as a housekeeper in a black suit, with gray hair, a thin body, but a strong posture, standing upright.
Noland Lee descended from the sky, stood in front of the old man dressed as a housekeeper, and took out the invitation letter from his coat pocket.
After exchanging pleasantries with the housekeeper, Noland Lee was led by him towards the ancient castle in the forest.
They walked and talked, two people with extraordinary power, strolling around the island in the simplest manner.
The old man, who called himself Kaiden, introduced his master’s situation to Noland Lee.
When Noland Lee learned that the Heir of the Pangula Family, Sienna Nobus, was just 12 years old, he almost lost his composure.
He… He had thought that she must be an adult, but it turned out she was only 12 years old.
Kaiden glanced at Noland Lee’s calm expression and nodded secretly.
Kaiden knew how explosive this news was for a visitor.
Noland Lee’s unchanging expression in the face of this news was a perfect testament to his calm demeanor.
“Let me introduce the inheritance system of the Pangula family. Maybe this will answer your doubts,” Kaiden voluntarily explained the reasons behind Sienna’s situation.
Noland Lee listened…
Gradually… he felt something was strange.
He always felt like he had seen Sienna’s situation somewhere before.
The inheritance system of the Pangula Family was “Male-first primogeniture.”
In Sienna’s branch of the family, only she was left, so she was the only one who held the right to inherit this branch of the family.
In this branch of the family, she was the first in line for inheritance, able to inherit all of the assets and debts of the branch.
But in the entire Pangula Family, Sienna’s Nobus branch was at the bottom of the inheritance ranking.
According to the “male-first primogeniture,” her place in the succession order for the entire family’s assets was twenty-fifth, which was the last.
The main reason for this dilemma was the decline of the family branch, and the direct reason was the accidental death of Sienna’s parents.
After losing her parents, Sienna had to go through Magic Enlightenment at the age of 12, following the requirements of the family inheritance system.
If she didn’t have magical talent, she would lose her father’s inheritance and be expelled from the family, unable to call herself a member of the Pangula Family.
Fortunately, she was lucky.
She had magical talent and kept her father’s inheritance.
However, because her magical talent was not in the Metal System or the Rock and Soil series, according to the family rules, she couldn’t inherit all of her father’s assets and had to give up four-fifths of them.
Eventually, she inherited one-fifth of the assets and became the 25th Heir of the family.
As for the family’s inheritance system, Noland Lee wasn’t very interested…
What he truly cared about was:
Sienna was an orphan…
Orphan…
Noland Lee chewed on this word, scanned the ancient castle in the woods, and finally looked at himself. Then, the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly…
Sienna, with a car and a house, lost both her parents.
Now she was in a bad situation and needed help.
And for Noland Lee, with his System, this was an opportunity to hang on.
Hiss…
Isn’t this the counter-attack routine often seen in novels?!
Sienna was like the protagonist in the novel, while Noland Lee was like the “old man” who would help her.
According to the novel’s routine, Kaiden, the old man, should be on his way out, and the task of taking care of Sienna would fall on Noland Lee’s shoulders…
