"Dong dong dong"
Maeve Le was checking the suitcases one by one when there was a knock on the study door.
She glanced at the direction of the door, thought for half a second, and waved her arm.
The suitcase and alchemy weapon list on the table flew into the secret room connected to the study.
Li Nuo nodded secretly, sensing Mevle's thoughtfulness.
If someone outside the house saw so many suitcases on the table, it would definitely attract curious prying eyes. Mevle put the suitcase and list into the secret room to remove interference from her transaction with Li Nuo.
"Come in, Betty."
Maeve Le said towards the door.
Betty, with curly orange hair, opened the door. Her little face was as smart and playful as ever.
As soon as she entered the room, she looked at Li Nuo sitting opposite the teacher in surprise.
Her eyes blinked a few times, as if asking Li Nuo why he was here.
Maeve Le asked:
"What's wrong, Betty, what's the matter?"
"Ah, yes, I have something to ask you." Betty looked at Maeve Le behind the desk, frowned slightly and said:
"Teacher, didn't you ask me to deliver the reward to Nehekat? I went, but I didn't see him. I asked his housekeeper about it, and he entered the rift corridor the moment the pollution field appeared. But It’s strange. After the pollution field was closed, he didn’t come back. I also went to the Bionic Skeleton Association that works with Nehkat, and people there also said they hadn’t seen him.”
Betty scratched her head:
"Teacher, tell me, did Nehekat also die in the pollution field?"
Li Nuo's thoughts moved slightly when he was killed.
He suddenly remembered something.
The last time he saw Nehekat, the guy was being chased by the false Fugudia.
After that, he never saw Nehkat.
Li Nuo called up the memory fragments obtained through passive deconstruction and took a look.
Because the system harmlessly processed the memory fragments of "False Fogudia", Li Nuo could only see the fragmented chase process.
Judging from the content of these memories alone, the false Fugudia eventually lost track of Nehekat. Instead, under the orders of the descendants of the Blood Sun God Seal, it went to intercept Maeve Le near the Black City.
This is strange.
Since Nehkat did not die at the hands of the false Fugudia, where did he go?
Not only Li Nuo didn't know the answer, but the other two people in the study didn't know either.
Maeve Le shook her head after pondering and said:
"Nehekat should be fine. Otherwise, the Tomb King would have come here long ago. Forget it, leave him alone. Just give me the reward, and wait for him to come and collect it later."
"Okay, teacher." Betty took out the metal box and put it on the table, looked at Li Nuo curiously, and then left.
Li Nuo kept a faint smile from beginning to end, and Betty naturally couldn't see anything from him.
When Betty walked out of the study, the room became quiet.
"Li Lei, come with me to the secret room. It's really inconvenient to talk here."
Maeve Le stood up and led Li Nuo into the secret room.
The magic servant in the study held a sign and stood in the center of the study. The sign was facing the door of the study room, and it said, "I am conducting magic experiments. If you have anything to do, I will talk about it later."
In this way, the visiting wizard students will be sent away.
The secret room connected to the study has no windows.
Its walls have several magic lamps that emit a gentle light.
The room, which is less than 30 square meters, is covered with an extremely soft dark red carpet.
Apart from comfortable chairs and a reception table, there is no more furniture here.
Mevle spent about half an hour checking the alchemical weapons in the eight suitcases.
During the inspection process, the magic pen beside her recorded the degree of damage and value of each piece of alchemical weaponry.
Finally, a detailed price list was handed over to Li Nuo.
The 1,227 pieces of dilapidated alchemy weapons were eventually sold for about 25,000 gold coins.
25,000!
The cost of the island plan was suddenly earned by about one-sixth!
When Li Nuo used soul sensing to tell Dinas the news, the other party's scream of surprise almost made Li Nuo fail in front of Mevle.
Fortunately, Li Nuo's psychological quality has always been very high.
He maintained the image of an enigmatic wizard in front of Maeve.
Both parties to the transaction pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.
Mevle temporarily left the secret room and withdrew large-denomination Unas gold coins from the underground treasure house.
Two Unas gold coins with a face value of 10,000, plus five Unas gold coins with a face value of 1,000, and some change with a face value of 100 gold coins, 10 gold coins and 1 gold coin were the payment for Li Nuo's sale of the alchemy weapons.
After repeatedly telling Dinas not to show the smile on her face, Li Nuo asked the other party to teleport over and take away the gold coins given by Mevle.
Li Nuo was relieved to leave the money with Dinasi.
Dinasi felt Li Nuo's trust in her, and excitedly promised through soul sensing that she would definitely take good care of the gold coin.
"Okay, Dinas, I'm going to discuss other matters with Mevle." Li Nuo said in his heart.
"Yeah, yeah!" Dinas was very obedient and took the initiative to cut off the soul induction.
Li Nuo looked at Mevle who was staring at him, adjusted his sitting posture and said:
"Madam, let's get to the point. As I said before, I want to cooperate with you in the field of knowledge. You pay the gold coins, and I pay the knowledge. The transaction is on the spot. There is no credit and no regrets. In the formal Before starting this deal, we must first sign a soul contract."
Li Nuo groped around in the blood space and took out a piece of parchment rolled into a barrel.
Soul contracts are common in the wizarding world.
As long as you write the words "soul contract" in the title when drafting the contract, the contract will automatically become a soul contract.
Why does putting the words "soul contract" on the title make the contract a soul contract?
This is a very magical and extraordinary phenomenon. Its history can be traced back to the ancient times several eras ago, far older than the current Ring of Unas, the wizarding country.
All wizards who studied this extraordinary phenomenon eventually gave up. Because I really can’t research anything. This extraordinary phenomenon has been completely integrated with nature and has become an inseparable part.
Over time, the soul contract became a natural phenomenon.
The soul contract Li Nuo took out now was written by himself.
He is Party A, and Maeve Le is Party B.
Party A sells knowledge and Party B pays gold coins. Both parties jointly kept the transaction confidential. Those who leak the information will be punished, including but not limited to amnesia, reduced sensory abilities, forced forgetting of magical knowledge, mental ocean decline, etc.
In the contract, Li Nuo specifically emphasized one point. That is, he only wants gold coins and wants nothing else. Even if a priceless magic item is placed in front of him, he will decisively wave his hand and refuse.
There is no other reason.
Things other than gold coins are too easy to be tracked and difficult to cash out. What's more, sometimes, expensive magic props come from erroneous sources, which can easily lead to the pursuit of wizard law enforcers.
Li Nuo didn't want to become a channel for others to sell stolen goods.
So what knowledge can Li Nuo sell?
Death spell? Psychic magic? Or, a spell from the Eidolon branch?
neither.
Selling spell blueprints directly is definitely looking for death.
Just imagine, what would the buyer think if she knew that Li Nuo could sell spell blueprints?
She would definitely be worried about whether the spells of her wizarding force would appear on Li Nuo's product list. This would create a barrier to the transaction and create a gap between the buyer and Li Nuo.
In extreme cases, the buyer may secretly collect evidence of Li Nuo's crime under the guise of a transaction, and then report it all to the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department.
This approach is tantamount to betraying Li Nuo and will inevitably be punished by the soul contract.
But as long as the rewards given by the Wizard Law Enforcement Department and our own wizard forces can make up for the punishment of the soul contract, then someone will definitely do it.
In order to minimize the possibility of buyers betraying him, and to increase the cost of deliberately violating the soul contract in disguise, Li Nuo decided:
Currently, only knowledge based skills are sold.
Li Nuo will only sell the spellcasting blueprint to the buyer after his spending amount reaches a certain level.
To this end, Li Nuo also designed a membership system.
This membership system will gradually improve as the number of buyers expands.
Now, there is no need for Li Nuo to write down the membership system in the contract. After all, he only has one customer, Mevle.
"Mevle, in the soul contract, I only mentioned that I can sell magical knowledge that does not involve spellcasting blueprints, but I did not elaborate on what this knowledge is."
Li Nuo said calmly:
"After you sign this contract, I will show you the knowledge to choose from. If you are not satisfied with the knowledge I provide, our transaction will be terminated. According to the contract, Paragraph 3, Article 1, 'When the two parties fail to reach a deal, the buyer does not need to pay any fees, but must keep the knowledge list provided by the seller confidential. Otherwise, the buyer will accept the penalties of the contract with reference to the content of Paragraph 4, Article 1 '. The List of Knowledge itself is protected by the Soul Contract. I hope you understand this, ma'am."
Maeve Le stared at the contract and nodded in thought:
"Okay, Li Lei. I saw this. In addition to this, I also noticed a special contract clause."
Maeve Le held the contract and read it word for word:
"Both parties to the transaction cannot use this soul contract as a threat to force the other party or those close to the other party to do things for them."
Maeve Le put down the soul contract:
"It can be seen that you have thought carefully. You have even considered all kinds of unpopular situations. I am willing to sign this soul contract."
"I'm glad you can accept it." Li Nuo raised his hand, pointed to a certain clause in the contract and said:
"But I have to remind you, have you noticed the third clause of the first paragraph? This clause is for the transaction process. The way I provide you with knowledge will also be protected by the contract. If you accidentally reveal my The method of providing knowledge will also be punished by the contract.”
Maeve Le looked at the contract:
"Yes, I noticed. I'm curious about how special the way you provide knowledge is. You can't pass on knowledge like a professor, can you?"
Li Nuo smiled mysteriously and said nothing.
Without saying anything, Maeve Le took the magic pen and wrote her name on the contract.
The contract turned into white light, split into two, and shot into their heads respectively.
Along with the message sent by the system, the transaction contract between Li Nuo and Mevle officially came into effect.
This contract is eternal. It will continue forever. The contract will only become invalid when one party is killed or both parties agree to terminate the contract.
Once the contract expires, all the knowledge Li Nuo imparted to Maeve Le will be erased by the contract. This, to a certain extent, prevents buyers from committing murder and taking back their money after paying.
Maeve Le sat on the sofa and took a deep breath:
"Okay, Li Lei. The contract has been established. There are still some gold coins in the treasure house of the manor. If your knowledge satisfies me, I will meet your request."
Soul contracts are also divided into three, six or nine levels.
The contract signed by Li Nuo and Mevle was of the lowest standard and did not have the special effect of "soul induction".
The size of the specification has nothing to do with the punishment and effectiveness of the soul contract, and only affects the additional effects brought by the contract.
"Soul induction" is one of the additional effects of the contract.
In addition, there is "soul positioning" that continuously locates both parties to the contract; after the death of one party to the contract, the "soul attribution" of the soul belongs to the other party; part of the soul fragments obtained by either party must be given to the other party "Soul distribution" and so on.
Making a soul contract with the "soul induction" special effect requires Li Nuo to pour a full thousand points of soul strength into the contract.
Li Nuo really planned to do this before getting "River of the Soul: Volume 2".
But at this time today, Li Nuo has found a spiritual spell that can replace "soul induction" from "River of the Soul: Volume 2".
This spell is the famous "telepathy". A spell that allows Li Nuo to send psychic messages to the target of the spell.
"Mevle."
Li Nuo's voice sounded deep in Mafule's heart, ethereal and ethereal, like a distant call carried by the mountain wind.
Mevle's body trembled slightly, she looked at Li Nuo with her eyes wide open, and her mouth opened a gap involuntarily.
"You actually mastered this spell"
Maeve Le's eyes were a little dazed. She recognized the spell for what it was. Li Nuo's sudden display of psychic magic skills made her lose her mind.
Li Nuo raised his index finger in front of his mouth, closed his mouth, and said using only "telepathy":
"Easy your mind and don't be wary of me. As my customer, your body, mind and soul are protected by the soul contract. I will not do anything detrimental to you. From now on, we Communicating only by heart prevents our transactions from leaving traces in the physical world.”
Mecia raised her hand and pressed it on her chest covered by the silk coat.
After trying to calm down her inner turmoil, she said in her heart:
"I wear a magic pendant that protects against psychic spells. Logically speaking, this pendant should respond to your "telepathy", but why doesn't it move? "
No need for Li Nuo to answer, Mecia thought of an answer herself:
"I know! Your spiritual magic attainments are amazing! Although my pendant is a high-level magic item, your spiritual magic attainments are even higher, most likely at the holy level. That's why you can bypass the pendant's protection. , activated "telepathy" on me! "
Li Nuo was stunned for a while.
Mecia has a high-level magic pendant that protects the soul? !
Oh my god.
How could he know this?
Where is this pendant hidden?
Li Nuo glanced at the other party's bulging full moon and fair neck, and vaguely saw a silver necklace under the collar.
Aiming at the small piece of necklace in his collar and throwing the deconstruction technique, Li Nuo's mouth twitched slightly.
It is really a high-level magic pendant. Not only can it resist psychic spells, it can also protect Mecia's soul. It is estimated that it is because of the existence of this necklace that Mecia can be immune to the noise of the outer space in the polluted field.
This is embarrassing.
Li Nuo followed the principle of "see no evil" and never carefully looked at the specific details of women, so he did not notice the existence of the magic pendant in time.
If he had known in advance that Mecia had this kind of magic item, he would have asked the other party to take off the pendant first, and then use "telepathy".
But here comes the question, why didn't the pendant respond to his "telepathy"?
Li Nuo called up his spell list and took a look.
His "Telepathy" has just been acquired, with a completeness of 10% and a level of 1.
Level 1 "telepathy" can only be effective on targets within three meters around him. When upgrading, you can choose between strengthening the sensing range or increasing the number of sensing.
The most important thing is that the "Telepathy" panel clearly states that this is only a high-level psychic spell, not a holy spell.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be able to bypass the magic pendant, which is also a high-level one.
Is it because my mental spells are immune to spell backlash? !
Li Nuo's heart skipped a beat.
He spent some energy points to deconstruct Mecia's magic pendant.
A magic effect appears on the deconstruction results.
【Magic effect】
[Name] Reflective Mind Spell
【Level】Level 70
[Type] Passive skills
[Number of recharges] 70/70
【Effect】
When the person wearing the magic pendant is affected by any psychic spell, the pendant will automatically reflect the psychic spell, causing a psychic spell backlash against the source of the spell.
So that's it. Li Nuo nodded secretly and figured out the reason.
Under normal circumstances, when a psychic wizard casts a psychic spell, he himself will also be affected by the psychic spell. This is the backlash of psychic spells that every psychic wizard cannot bypass.
When harmlessly deconstructing a spell blueprint, deconstruction removes the backlash effect of psychic spells.
Li Nuo originally thought that the "backlash effect" removed by the deconstruction spell only refers to the spell backlash he would receive when casting psychic spells.
It now appears that the backlash effects that have been removed also include the backlash effects formed when psychic spells are reflected.
What a cool system.
It turns out that when I cast psychic spells, I don’t even have to worry about spell reflection. It's really your system.
Li Nuo gave a thumbs up in his heart.
He calmed his mind, looked calm and calm, and showed an enigmatic image in front of Maeve Le.
Li Nuo nodded slightly and said from his heart:
"Yes, ma'am. I have some attainments in psychic magic. Now let's get down to business."
Mafule stared at Li Nuo, her eyes twinkling, and her eyes couldn't help but have a hint of awe.
A wizard with holy mind magic skills was sitting in front of her, and he was willing to lower his profile to communicate on an equal footing and share knowledge for a fee.
This honor alone is enough to make Maeve Le's heart flutter.
How could I get such attention from the other party?
Is it because of the money you have?
Certainly not!
It must be the desire for knowledge that he inadvertently revealed, which attracted the other party's attention!
When she thought about the terrifying aspect of the Holy Spirit's spiritual magic, the awe in Maeve Le's heart became even greater:
"No wonder he was chosen by Dinasi and became her contractor. Even I am a little moved."
"Ahem, madam, our "telepathy" has not been interrupted yet. "
Li Nuo touched his nose awkwardly.
Maeve Le was stunned for a moment, then a blush rose on her cheeks and spread to her ears.
As a young and elegant woman, her blushing scene has a unique flavor.
"Telepathy" is not good at all.
Since human beings' thoughts in their hearts are all mental activities at the spiritual level, "telepathy" parties can clearly sense each other's mental activities.
But there is one exception. Li Nuo's previous mental activity of thinking about the "backlash effect" will not be passed on to Mevle.
Li Nuo is protected by the system, and all the thoughts in his heart will not be passed on.
Not only that, all information related to the system will also be blocked by the system and will never be leaked in any way or through any channel.
Li Nuo couldn't even write the words "deconstruct the core system" with pen and paper, let alone use soul sensing and telepathy to reveal the existence of the system.
This was the conclusion he came to after repeated experiments with Dinas after obtaining the spell "Telepathy".
