Gathering City three days later.
Single-family cottage in sector 7.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Nuo entered the study room on the second floor, locked the door and drew the curtains.
He called Dinas in his heart and put down a heavy cloth bag on the desk.
"I'm coming~" Dinas appeared in the light of the torch.
"Please sit down, Dinas. The Gold Chamber of Commerce has been busy for two days and finally sorted out the trophies. I went to Cindy's place and brought back my share of the trophies. Let's reconcile the accounts."
Li Nuo brought two cups of hot tea and put them on the table, then pushed the jingling coin bag in front of Dinas.
Dinas picked up the cloth bag, opened the folding space in the bag, and glanced at the loot inside.
After that, she held the notepad with her white left hand and the ink pen with her right hand. She read the words on the notepad carefully to prevent mistakes:
"After closing the contaminated area, Sea Area 117 on the eastern coast returned to normal. The combat alchemists of the Gold Chamber of Commerce cleaned up the battlefield.
"From the wreckage of the cargo ship floating on the sea, they found 160 boxes of intact life potions, 72 boxes of mutation potions used to maintain biochemical soldiers, and 54 boxes of artificial dominoes. In addition, there are thousands of soul-sucking dominoes. Crushed soul-absorbing crystal.”
Dinas raised her head and asked:
"Li, has the Gold Chamber of Commerce confirmed that the artificial dominoes are the mysterious materials for making the Alchemy Cube?"
Li Nuo nodded:
"Well, yes. Before I came back with the trophies, Cindy told me that the secret of the Reforging Association's monopoly on alchemical structures lies in the artificial dominoes produced by Tatis. Because this thing involves the Alchemy Temple It was confidential, so there were no artificial dominoes among the trophies assigned to me by the Gold Chamber of Commerce. They replaced the artificial dominoes with life potions as the trophies assigned to me. I simply asked them to replace the mutation potion that was originally assigned to me with life. Potion. Right now, I only have a few artificial dominoes that I picked up from the sea."
As Li Nuo spoke, he took out a pure and transparent domino from the drawer.
If you look closely, you can find that there are rune patterns as thin as hair inside this artificial domino, which is like a transparent mahjong block.
It has its own "soul link" feature, but it is not used to control the dead.
It cannot be used as a casting material to summon the undead.
Its only purpose is to help users use "soul link" to control metal creations without vital signs.
The core component of the alchemical structure, the Alchemy Cube, has always been firmly controlled by the Heavy Forging Association. The artificial dominoes produced by Tatis are the key to the Alchemy Cube.
With it, the controller of the alchemical construct can use "Soul Link" to control the alchemical construct without having to learn death magic.
The rune patterns inside the artificial dominoes are written by necromantic runes. It is these runes that give artificial dominoes the properties of "soul link".
The Tatis Empire strongly opposes the study of the Necromantic Rune, but in fact, MI2 and MI3, which are tasked with researching biochemical soldiers, have been secretly studying it.
This artificial domino is proof.
Li Nuo was too lazy to care about Tatis, who had a split personality. As an empire, Tatis will be greatly influenced by the Emperor's personal influence. With the Emperor himself possibly being seriously contaminated by alien space, chaos throughout the Imperium was inevitable.
Li Nuo stood the artificial dominoes on the table and nodded towards the gentle beauty across the table:
"Go on, Dinah."
"Yeah. Then I'll start counting the loot in the folding space."
Dinas picked up her pocket, took out the metal box inside, and placed it on the floor of the study room to check one by one:
"There are 15 boxes of loot in total, all of which are life potions produced by Tatis. A total of 750,000 life potions. Converted to 7,500 Unas gold coins."
“This is only part of the total remuneration.
“In addition to the life potions that serve as trophies, we will also have two remunerations in the account in the future.
"The first is a bounty for helping the Gold Chamber of Commerce repel Tatis invaders and alien space pollution products. This part of the bounty will be paid with aggregate coins. The Gold Chamber of Commerce will have to discuss with the Alchemy Temple to determine the reward. Specific amount.
"The second reward is for you to provide information to the Gold Chamber of Commerce. This part of the reward has been received, a total of 3 million aggregate coins. Is there anything I missed?"
Li Nuo thought about it:
"Nothing was left out. Oh, by the way, I kept the soul-absorbing crystal that Cindy gave me."
"Okay~ I have no objection. I mostly use rebirth magic, and generally I don't need soul energy. If you get other soul-absorbing crystals in the future, just keep them yourself~"
Dinasi kept writing, and finally put down the ink bottle in her hand and handed the notepad to Li Nuo:
"Okay, I've done the math clearly. Take a look. We now have life potions worth 8,500 gold coins, and a total denomination of 5.14 million aggregate coins. I've also recorded the bits and pieces of props on it."
Li Nuo took the notepad and read it over, then praised with satisfaction:
"Very good, Dinas. You remember the accounts very clearly. With your help, I don't have to worry about these numbers."
Dinas raised the corner of her mouth and smiled:
"This is what I should do, Li. You work so hard to collect the magic power of rebirth, so I have to do something for you. Speaking of which, what are your plans next?"
Li Nuo flipped back his notepad.
A hand-drawn form caught his eye, filled with the project name, text notes, and the amount of gold coins needed to complete the project.
"To buy an island in a maritime traffic hub like the Suman Islands, you need to prepare at least 100,000 Unas gold coins. This expense is huge, but we can get an island completely under our control. Everything on the island, and The sea area within 3 kilometers around the island is our territory."
Li Nuo said while reading the form information:
"Having a small island is not enough, we also have to prepare our own ships. If we only operate within the archipelago, the small magic boat produced by the Hotams Deep Sea Branch will be enough, and it will cost about 6,000 to 10,000 gold coins.
"But if you want to go out to sea, you need a medium-sized magic boat, and you have to buy the Lost Sea Fog Investigation Report, which is paid monthly. You can buy a medium-sized magic boat by paying at least 30,000 gold coins in one go. Pay 500 gold coins every month. Weekly reports on the Lost in the Sea Fog expedition are available.
"In addition to these, Unas gold coins are needed for the construction materials needed to build the island, the magic props to protect the island from sea dwellers and sea beasts, etc."
Li Nuo turned another page.
After taking a look at the text and data above, he raised his head and praised the other party:
"Oh! You have already calculated the total amount of the budget, and also broken down the four levels of island life: basic level, satisfaction level, happiness level, and perfect level.
"If we build the island according to the minimum standards, we can obtain a basic quality of life, which requires us to prepare 150,000 Unas gold coins. On this basis, for every additional 20,000 to 50,000 Unas gold coins prepared, our The quality of life on the island will rise to a new level. If we want to live a perfect island life, we must prepare 260,000 Unas gold coins.
"Very good, Dinas, you are so thoughtful."
When Dinas saw that Li Nuo noticed her meticulous arrangements and was very satisfied, she smiled and her cheeks turned slightly red:
"Do you think there's anything that needs improvement?"
Li Nuo thought for a while and said:
"Just follow your classification. Let's make raising 150,000 Unas gold coins our first goal."
"Okay~" Dinas clenched her fists in front of her happily.
Li Nuo admired the beauty of the other party for half a second, and then asked in thought:
"Dinas, do you think it's easier to make money on Midas Island or on Cahir Continent?"
Dinas gently rubbed her face, which was a little hot with excitement, and then said after pondering for two seconds:
"Hmm...Although there are many magical ruins, dungeons and subdimensional entrances to explore in Cahir Continent, I think it will be easier to make money here on Midas Island."
"Why? Is it because there are few wizards here?" Li Nuo asked.
"That's right." Dinas tapped her chin:
"There are too many wizards on the Cahir continent. And the wizards who dare to walk in the wild and explore various extraordinary areas are basically fighting wizards. If you want to make money there, the competition will be very fierce. Of course, the rewards will also be great. Abundant. Otherwise, it wouldn’t attract so many fighting wizards wandering around the Cahir continent.”
Li Nuo asked again:
"But on Midas Island, it's not enough for us to just do things for the Gold Chamber of Commerce. The money comes in too slowly. How do you think we can save enough 150,000 gold coins on Midas Island? I hope we can do it in a short time within to achieve this goal.”
"The most efficient way is to recover alchemy weapons from the crack corridor." Dinas stretched out her left hand and clapped her fingers with her right hand and said:
"The Alchemy Temple and various alchemy forces have clearly marked prices. Recover the third-level alchemy weapons and hand them over. Depending on the type and degree of damage of the alchemy weapons, you will be rewarded with 1 million to 3 million aggregate coins, which is equivalent to 10 to 30 Unas gold coins. Recycle If you turn in a fourth-level alchemy weapon, the lower limit of the rewarded aggregation coins will remain unchanged at 1 million aggregation coins, and the upper limit will be increased to 4 million aggregation coins. This is equivalent to 10 to 40 Unas gold coins."
Listening to Dinasi's calculation, the purchasing power gap between Aggregation Coin and Unas Gold Coin came out.
1 Unas gold coin = 1,000 Unas silver coins = 100,000 aggregate coins
Buying an island in the Suman Islands, a maritime transportation hub, requires 100,000 Unas gold coins, which corresponds to 10 billion aggregate coins.
Is this because the aggregate coins are not valuable, or is the island too expensive?
All.
Aggregation coins are worthless because they can only be circulated in Aggregation City. The circulation of aggregate coins is limited, and there are not many types of items that can be purchased. When these two factors overlap, aggregate coins will naturally appear cheap.
Let me ask you, which wizard would bring a lot of gold coins to the Convergence City, exchange them for Convergence Coins, and then spend a lot of money?
I think should not be.
The currency market also pays attention to the balance between supply and demand.
Since there is not much demand for aggregate coins from the outside world, then the aggregate coins are naturally worthless.
Secondly, buying an island in the Suman Islands is not just about taking a vacation and recuperating.
Buying an island is equivalent to buying land. If you buy land, you can build warehouses, docks, and fisheries.
Therefore, the main people buying islands in the Suman Islands are not wizards like Li Nuo and Dinas who plan to live in seclusion, but businessmen who want to do maritime business in the Suman Islands and live off the sea.
If you can make money by buying an island, the price of the island will naturally be astonishingly high.
In order to achieve this goal in life, Li Nuo estimated that he would have to bring back thousands of sets of alchemical weapons from the rift corridor.
Unexpectedly, I never expected that traveling to another world would inevitably lead to the struggle for “house”.
Li Nuo was a human being in two lifetimes, so he couldn't help but feel emotional.
But when he thought that he now had enough strength to quickly clear the rift corridor and quickly accumulate wealth, his pressure to save money to buy an island turned into a high-spirited work enthusiasm.
"I will start recovering the alchemy weapons in the rift corridor from today. As for how to convert a large amount of alchemy weapons into cash, no one will suspect the source. Let's wait until then. In addition, before leaving the Midas Island, I plan to Search the crack corridor to see if there is a chance to harvest a few sage particles. If we live on the sea, resource-based sage particles that can produce pure fresh water are enough to replace expensive magic water purification devices."
"Do you need me to go to the Crack Corridor with you?" Dinas blinked and muttered:
"You have never allowed me to participate in the battle, and I have never known what your current strength is. However, since you can escape from the contaminated field and defeat Meister in a duel, then you should Very powerful. I know I shouldn't say anything, but you risked your life outside to bring me the magic of rebirth, while I watched from the sidelines, unable to do anything. This makes me feel a little guilty..."
Li Nuo shook his hand:
"Don't think too much, Dinah."
Li Nuo coughed lightly, sat up straight and said:
"I am a bit, well, how should I put it, a bit cunning and a bit chauvinistic. I am more inclined to adopt the vulgar responsibility distribution plan where men work hard outside and women stay at home. You did not participate in the battle. , but there is no need to feel guilty. You support me behind the scenes, provide me with emergency escape means, or even just encourage me with items and affirm me, you are helping me.
"If providing a means of escape is your strategic value, then the encouragement and affirmation from you is the emotional value you provide. For people like me, the strategic value and emotional value are higher than the battle you personally participate in. The value of strength. So, you don’t have to feel guilty, your position in my heart is irreplaceable. I am willing to take risks for you, and I enjoy it."
"That's good..." Dinas' cheeks turned red, "I was worried that I would become a vase in your eyes, so I said this..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Which vase can help me escape from heaven? No, right? So you are not a vase."
Li Nuo laughed, said a few words of comfort, then clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, Dinas. You go back. I want to go to the Cat Club Manor."
"Well, I'm leaving then." Dinasi stood up, took the trophies that Li Nuo had left with her, and obediently used the torch to teleport away.
Good figure, good temperament, gentle and pleasant, virtuous and considerate, and most importantly, not clingy. Tsk, if Dinas was more outgoing and exposed, there would be a lot of people fighting to become her contractor.
Li Nuo smiled dumbly, tidied up his clothes, and left the study.
Before he came back with the loot, he discussed something with Cindy.
This matter is related to Fals's research mission.
Today, the relationship between Li Nuo and the Gold Chamber of Commerce is no longer that of strangers A, B and C.
Li Nuo didn't need to use gray means to help Fars find the Alchemy Cube.
He told Cindy that he was willing to give up part of the loot to help Fars obtain a new alchemical structure and restart the research mission.
Cindy patted her chest and said it was a small matter and Li Nuo didn't need to give up the spoils.
Previously, the Gold Chamber of Commerce was a low-key voice in the Alchemy Temple and had basically no say in the research tasks of the Alchemy School.
It's different now.
Due to the repelling of invaders and alien space pollution, the status of the Gold Chamber of Commerce in the Alchemy Temple has increased.
Cindy promised to explain the matter to the director of the Chamber of Commerce.
It won't be long before Fars acquires a new alchemical construct.
With Cindy's words, the matter of Fars losing the Alchemy Cube should be effectively handled. Li Nuo didn't need to dig into the Razor Gang for this.
In fact, while Li Nuo and Cindy were discussing the spoils of war, the Forging Association, Blackwater Winery, Razor Gang and other forces secretly colluding with Tatis were being investigated by the Alchemy Temple.
If Li Nuo goes to check the corresponding sector now, he will definitely see the guards of the Alchemy Temple carrying golden alchemy firearms.
All forces related to the Empire's MI6 will receive "warm reception" from the Alchemy Temple.
It won't be long before the MI6 headquarters in Tatisli will be surprised to find that they have lost contact with the intelligence personnel in Gathering City.
A series of reactions related to this will follow.
For example, after losing the supply of life potion, Samuelson's work of spawning aberrations will be stalled.
For another example, the Heavy Forging Association will bear the name of a traitor and be willing to be punished, even handing over the alchemy formula for the Alchemy Cube.
After the Gold Chamber of Commerce agreed to keep Li Nuo's secret, he did not need to worry about retaliation from Tatis MI6, the illegal forces in the Black City, and the Forging Association.
For this reason, Li Nuo has completely removed himself from the above incidents and completely stayed out of it.
Besides, he didn't want to get involved.
Now he just wants to make money, buy a big house, and escape to the sea with the considerate Dinas.
Of course, considering that there is still a very small possibility that the Gold Chamber of Commerce will betray itself, Li Nuo has prepared an emergency plan.
…
…
Cat Club Manor.
Small living room.
The afternoon sun is warm and bright, and becomes softer after passing through the silk curtains.
Li Nuo sat on the soft single sofa and stared blankly at the slight dust in the light beam for a while, waiting for Filia to come.
The first time Li Nuo saw the other party, he threw out the Deconstruction Technique.
He spent a thousand energy points to obtain Filia's important memories of the past two days.
Judging from the memory fragments obtained, Filia and her mentor are curious about the Alchemy Temple's investigation into the actions of the Reforging Association and other forces.
They knew that there was a polluted area on the sea, and they also knew that it was caused by a cargo ship from Tatis.
However, they didn't know what was in the wreckage of the ship, nor why the Alchemy Temple pointed the finger at the Reforging Association.
This shows that the Gold Chamber of Commerce did its best to keep Li Nuo a secret and never told the Elemental Trial. Li Nuo participated in the operation and played an important role.
Li Nuo was satisfied with the secret-keeping behavior of the Gold Chamber of Commerce.
His identity in the eyes of the Elemental Trial has not changed. He is still the trustworthy and somewhat capable wandering wizard.
"Li Lei, you're here." Filia closed the door with a smile.
She smoothed the folds of her skirt behind her, sat down on the single sofa opposite Li Nuo, and asked:
"Are you coming to rent a magic laboratory? Or buy some magic materials?"
Li Nuo shook his head slightly:
"No, Filia. I came here for other things. Someone asked me to discuss something with you."
"Oh? Really?" Filia sat up straight and entered a state of listening carefully. The dress on her body tightened as a result.
"The thing is like this. I have a friend in the Tatis Empire, and his status is quite special." Li Nuo spread his hands and said:
"He is a descendant of Emperor Tatis and the only legal wizard in the empire. I think you should have heard of his name."
"His name is Meister, right? The metal wizard of Hotams." A light of thought appeared in Filia's eyes:
"I probably know what he's doing with you. He wants to buy the Bone Wand from us through you, right?"
Filia looked a little embarrassed, and the smile at the corner of her mouth turned bitter:
"I'm sorry, Li Lei. I can't help with this matter. The teacher has sealed the wand and will give it to the Elemental Trial Battle Wizard who arrives here tomorrow."
"There should be room for negotiation, Filia, you might as well listen to the bargaining chips offered by Most."
"Um...Okay, please tell me."
Li Nuo sorted out the information in his mind and began to convey the information provided by Most.
His starting point is not the number of nominally missing wandering wizards in the Black City, nor the wizard criminals that may exist there.
He turned the topic on Zikmando.
Li Nuo knew about Zikmando's betrayal of the Elemental Trial, and he learned about it from Filia.
Li Nuo used this incident as a starting point to arouse Filia's curiosity with the question "Why did Jackmando seek refuge in the Black City?" He then used the topic "How many wandering wizards have been attacked and lost contact in the rift corridor in the past few years" to further stimulate Filia's thinking.
Following this step by step, Filia fell into deep thought.
"Listening to what you said, I also feel a little weird." Filia frowned and thought:
"In the roughly five years since I became a wizard student, a total of eight wandering wizards have been attacked in the Rift Corridor. All of them were kidnapped by the alchemists of the Black City and taken to the deepest part of the Rift Corridor. We are discovering these things. Immediately, he notified the professor who taught the wandering wizard.
"The professors' reactions varied. Some were angry and emotional. Some were very indifferent, as if they didn't care whether their students lived or died. But no matter which attitude they had, these things ended up being nothing. Most of the professors used the excuse that the journey was too far and expressed regret that they could not send new wandering wizards to rescue the students in distress."
Filia raised her shoulders helplessly and sighed:
"We are only a magic research institution, not a magic trial institution. We cannot send people to the Black City without requesting rescue from the professor. This will break the contract signed with the Alchemy Temple. Therefore, those wandering wizards who have lost contact must , it really never appeared in our field of vision again.”
Li Nuo struck while the iron was hot and said:
"Mest should have prepared the information now, Filia. Let's communicate it through the lecturer."
In fact, Meister is already impatient.
When he returned to Tatis, he went to see his mother, Adela. Moster learned from his mother that when he and Li Nuo were having a heated fight, a companion witch named Dinas had approached Adela through the professor and inquired about him.
Moest's mind turned quickly and he immediately knew that the relationship between Dinas and Li Nuo was unusual. The two must be related to the companion witch and the contractor.
When he thought about the fact that his mother and father were also in a contractual relationship, and that the latter was also the head of a country, Most realized on the spot how terrifying Li Nuo's potential was.
Meister knew exactly where the magic of rebirth came from. He knew deeply that only those who could stably and provide a large amount of rebirth magic would be favored by the companion witch. God knows how many students in Hotams are eager to become the companion witch's contract.
After realizing Li Nuo's extraordinary potential, Mostt did three things in three days.
The first thing is to collect information about wizard criminals in the Black City. He had already prepared all the information at this time.
The second thing is to call out the case of the "Leno Jarvis" family and restart the investigation on the grounds that the case involves a death protest meeting.
"Leno Jarvis" was exonerated and the family's debts disappeared.
"Identity 1: Criminal Soldier" and "Identity 2: Debtor" on Li Nuo's panel changed from "Expired" to "Terminated".
The third thing Moster did was to arrest a woman named Keseifa.
It was noon the day before Li Nuo and Filia talked. Kesaifa, the criminal who framed the "Leno Jarvis" family has been executed.
Li Nuo immediately discovered this situation through changes in the panel information.
At the moment of Kesaifa's death, the "Remarks" column of "Soul Frozen" wrote:
"All resentment has disappeared with the sound of the gunshot. You have fulfilled your oath with the original owner. The soul contract between you and the original owner has been completed. "Soul Freeze" will become a spell completely controlled by you. "
Li Nuo originally thought that the revenge thing would go wrong, but now it seems that everything is simpler than he thought.
After his identity, status and strength improved, he has gradually become accustomed to solving the problems in the past.
Looking back at his experience at the intersection of suffering, Li Nuo had no negative emotions in his heart.
He knew that if he went to the borderland of misery now, he would definitely be treated as an honored guest by Most, and he would no longer be treated as a sinner.
Even Cavado, who was being blamed for Kasha's death, had to raise his hands to salute and shout "Welcome to your presence" when he saw Li Nuo.
Life is so amazing.
Strength is the key to everything.
Only with strength will you be respected.
"Li Nuo, I think what you said makes sense. We really need to find out the situation in the Black City before the battle mage goes to hunt down Samuelson."
After half a minute of thinking, Filia finally chose to accept Li Nuo's proposal:
"I'll discuss it with the teacher. Please wait for me for a while."
Li Nuo watched Filia leave the reception room.
He sat back on his chair, looked out the window at the flower-filled garden, and said silently in his heart:
"Dinas, give me a message. The Elemental Trial may come to Murst to discuss matters. Tell Murst to be prepared."
"Okay." Dinas responded gently.
After two minutes, she said again:
"It's agreed. I brought the message to Adela. Adela asked me to express my gratitude on my behalf."
"Okay, I understand. I can only help here." Li Nuo picked up the tea cup and took a sip, finally settling his worries.
"Li, don't you want to go to the rift corridor to recover the alchemy weapons? I just have some big news here."
Dinasi's words were extremely exciting. Li Nuo seemed to see the smiling face of the other party.
Dinas took a deep breath and said:
"I am now in the lower city branch of the Alchemy Temple. Just 10 minutes ago, the Alchemy Temple issued an announcement. The announcement said that after a three-day investigation, the Alchemy Temple determined that the Heavy Forging Association was in the local six Two of the elders betrayed the Temple, and some members of the Razor Gang committed the same crime.
"The ground sectors and underground corridors controlled by the two elders of the Heavy Forging Association will be taken back by the Holy Church on the day the announcement is issued. One month later, the Alchemy Holy Church will restart the auction. At that time, it will be in the form of bidding. Determine the ownership of sectors 5 and 6. In the month before the auction, these three sectors will be taken over by the Alchemy Temple, and the rift corridor below the sectors will become unclaimed land."
"The land of no one?" Li Nuo was stunned for a moment:
"What do you mean? Anyone can go?"
"It's not just as simple as anyone can go." Dinas said with a smile:
"If the crack corridor has an owner, you can only recover the lost alchemy weapons from it. But now, you can go to the owner-less crack corridor and search for the alchemy materials in the resource-based sage space. You are in the owner-less crack corridor. All the alchemy materials found in the corridor belong to you, and no alchemy forces will interfere.
"In addition, the battle that takes place in the Masterless Corridor will not be supervised by the Alchemy Temple and the Alchemy Force. No one has the right to blame you for what you have done. I know you will not treat people from the security company You're aggressive, but that doesn't stop you from targeting gang members."
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows.
Isn't this the unlimited red area opened by the Alchemy Temple?
There will be no penalty for opening a red PK in it, and at the same time, equipment will drop freely, be bought and sold freely, and circulate without restrictions.
hiss.
It's like the server is having a carnival.
Li Nuo now became interested.
"Dinas, is it okay if I take away the sage particles in the Masterless Corridor?"
"Yes, no problem. Being ownerless means that no one cares about it. Even if you set up roadblocks in a certain corridor and charge admission fees for passing through the corridor, it will be fine."
Dinas paused and said:
"However, there is one thing you should pay more attention to. There is an unspoken rule in the Crack Corridor. Alchemists of the sixth level and above cannot appear within the 20 underground floors of the Crack Corridor. Because once the alchemists of these levels are on the 20th floor underground, If a conflict breaks out within, it may affect civilians on the ground. Now, this unspoken rule has been broken. You may encounter alchemists of the sixth level and above within the 20 underground floors of sectors 5 and 6. You want to Be careful. Many high-level alchemists who specialize in fighting will gather within 20 floors underground to occupy space for their own forces."
"Occupying space... you even know this word. It seems that you have collected a lot of information in the Alchemy Temple branch. Thank you for your attention, Dinas. Thank you." Li Nuo smiled.
"What I should do is, don't say thank you all the time, huh." Dinas snorted.
Li Nuo smiled dumbly and immediately saw the door handle of the reception room turning.
"Okay, Dinas, I'm getting down to business."
"Yeah, I'm going home now. There are too many people in the Alchemy Temple branch..."
Dinas's voice disappeared from her mind.
Li Nuo looked at the door that opened slowly, and saw not Filia, but Betty who was peeping her head out.
"What's wrong, Betty? What are you doing sneakily?" Li Nuo laughed when he saw the sneaky look on the other side.
"My brother just came to the Cat Shop to find me. He said that his Alchemy Cube was found by the Gold Chamber of Commerce. It was the Razor Gang who hired illegal alchemists from the Black City to sneak attack his mechanical spider..."
Betty stood outside the door, stretched her head into the room, and stared at Li Nuo, her little face was full of seriousness, as if she wanted to see something from the other person's face.
Li Nuo was surprised for half a second after hearing the news, as if he had just learned the news.
He clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"That's a good thing, Betty. We just investigated that the Razor Gang is related to this matter. We didn't expect that the Gold Chamber of Commerce would be the first to help us solve the trouble."
Betty blinked her bright eyes and looked at Li Nuo suspiciously. Under her orange bangs, her slender eyebrows were knitted together:
"Huh? You don't know about this..."
Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I didn't know about this before you told me. If I had known earlier, I would have told you. What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay..." Betty muttered and closed the door:
"I thought you were the one who told the Gold Chamber of Commerce the clue. Humph, I'm so angry. I want to beat up the Razor Gang people..."
"Click." The door closed.
Li Nuo touched his nose awkwardly.
Betty, this girl is really naughty, she actually wants to find trouble with the Razor Gang by herself.
Just as Li Nuo was about to show a dumbfounded expression, he saw the door being quietly opened again.
Li Nuo quickly stopped smiling and picked up the tea cup.
He looked at the little head that popped out from behind the door panel with a dazed expression as if he was interrupted mid-drinking water:
"What's wrong? Betty, why are you acting strange today?"
"It's okay, it's okay... I'm just looking at you... You look very handsome in this dress, very attractive."
Betty's head was caught in the crack, and only her forehead and eyes were exposed in front of Li Nuo.
She looked at Li Nuo again, who looked puzzled, and then closed the door.
Li Nuo turned on "Life and Death Tracking" and watched Betty in the corridor leaving, feeling emotional.
She is such an eccentric girl, she has so many clever ideas in her head, and she actually knows how to kill her.
I've been a man of two generations, experienced and quick in reaction, but I still can't fool you, a little girl?
hey-hey.
An "old ginger" smile appeared on Li Nuo's lips. He drank tea slowly, looked at the scenery, and patiently waited for Filia's reply.
Li Nuo had never considered taking the initiative to ask for credit from Fars and Betty. Because in the process of detailing the process, it is inevitable that sensitive content will be involved.
Fortunately for Fals, this guy is a "straight man in science and engineering" who is devoted to alchemy experiments. He is simple-minded. For people he trusts, he will believe whatever the other person says. With just a few words, Li Nuo could dispel Fars's desire to get to the bottom of things.
But not Betty. This girl has a lively mind and a lot of thoughts in her head. While maintaining the image of a cute and innocent good sister in front of her brother, she is secretly doing things. If Li Nuo talked to her too much, something unusual would inevitably be noticed.
As a result, Li Nuo decided not to tell them what he was doing behind the scenes.
At least I won't tell them now.
After a year or two, when this memory has been diluted by time and has become nothing more than Fals' bragging rights and a suspense in Betty's mind, Li Nuo will consider telling them the truth.
Why do this?
Very simple.
Li Nuo will leave Midas Island and won't be back for a while.
After he leaves, the relationship between people will fade.
If he wanted to ask Fals for a favor, he had to have a topic to get closer.
Then, a piece of true history that has been hidden in the snow will undoubtedly gain Fals's sincere gratitude. After that, asking Fals for help was a matter of course.
If Fars had not become a high-level alchemist at that time, as his sister, Betty would have agreed to help because she accepted Li Nuo's love.
Li Nuo spent the time looking through the books in his mind.
Philia never came back.
This is a good thing.
It means that the elemental trial and the meeting with Murst are in progress.
After Li Nuo waited for about half an hour, Filia walked into the house with a hint of dignity.
"Thank you for helping to pass the message, Li Lei."
Filia forced a smile, took out a coin card and handed it over:
"Please accept this. A small thank you from the Elemental Trial."
Li Nuo took the coin card and glanced at it. The denomination of up to 100,000 made his imagination wander.
"Filia, is this a bit too much? I'm just passing on a message, and Most has paid me a reward." Li Nuo asked, holding the coin card.
Filia pushed back the coin card:
"Not much, not much. It should be. If you hadn't sent a message to Meister and brought us information, the Elemental Trial would have suffered heavy losses in the Black City. Compared with this, 100,000 aggregate coins are nothing. This is what my teacher means, just accept it."
"Okay, then I'll accept it." Li Nuo put the coin card into his pocket and asked:
"Is it serious?"
"Well, it's very serious. Judging from the detailed information provided by Most, there are traces of the "Soul Reaver" in the Black City. "
Li Nuo took a slight breath:
"The Soul Reaver Lord? The rumored dead witch-killer criminal? Didn't the Wizard Law Enforcement Department say that the Soul Reaver Lord and his magic plane were wiped out by alien pollution?"
Filia shook her head and said:
"I don't know the specific situation. We won't find out until the wizard law enforcers come to investigate. We only know that the intelligence provided by Meister shows that there is a "soul-stealing wizard" who is the master of soul-stealing in the Black City. His strength and origin are unknown. Unclear. In order to clarify the situation, the wizard law enforcers, who originally planned to arrive at Midas Island within one and a half months, will speed up. As for whether the Wizard Law Enforcement Department will send more law enforcement wizards, I don't know. The Law Enforcement Department never discloses the status of law enforcement wizards, and this time is no exception. "
Li Nuo shook his hand:
"I hope things go well. I'm leaving first, Filia."
"I'll take you to the door."
The two of them walked towards the gate of the manor while chatting about things in the Black City.
Li Nuo bid farewell to Filia. On the way back, he told Dinas what happened.
Donna heard that there was a soul -winning wizard in the Black City, and she was speechless.
This is not blame her.
It is said that more than 10 years ago, the soul -winning master was hunted by the wizard law enforcement department. Both sides had a fierce battle outside the stars filter. The soul -winning dominance fled, and accidentally conflicted with an alien empty pollution.
The soul -winning master was picked up by the alien empty pollution, and the wizard law enforcement department released the news that the soul -winning master was killed.
The terrible thing about the dominance of the soul is the means of "seizing the soul".
Li Nuo received so many soul debris, which can be said to be a veteran who gets the strength of the soul. But the strength he collected was sucked from the corpse and corpse.
The soul -winning dominates this guy is amazing. Before becoming a witch -level criminal, he was an old professor of the death of death, and he was good for the evil magic of the soul to forcibly extract the soul. Now this death branch is no longer.
The effect of sacrifice magic plundering soul strength is far stronger than "soul absorption". Just aim at the living body to take away the soul from the liver.
The stronger the strength of the soul wizard, the more souls that can be forcibly taken away.
Soul -winning is the top existence of the soul wizard, and once set a record of sucking the soul of millions of people. It was this sinful behavior that angered the wizard law enforcement department and triggered a series of battles and accidents.
I was scared, and I wrote the content related to values in the future, I am a dog!
