248. Remove "metal"

Days passed in the routine of hunting spies and cleaning up pirates.

Noland Lee, having lived two lives, had a wealth of experience in slacking off.

He accurately grasped the psychology of his employer, Lape Charnel Wright.

Every day he persisted in bringing one or two bodies of Tidal Spies to report to Lape Charnel Wright.

Every now and then, he would bring an extra one, to give his employer a pleasant surprise.

After delivering the bodies in the evening, Noland would cloak himself in the night and head to Treasure Sea, lying in wait for the Sea Monsters that communicated with the Tidal Spies.

The process of sweeping the Sea Monsters could be described in one sentence:

Floating the ship for half an hour, sinking the ship in three seconds.

Noland first had to spend half an hour breaking the pirates' diving magic array, causing their ship to float to the surface.

Then, he could spend three seconds using the Thundercloud to blow up both the Sea Monster and its ship.
