"Mevle"
Just as Li Nuo was about to speak "telepathically", he was interrupted by Mev Le.
"Please give me some time. I...I need to get used to the way of speaking with my heart." Maeve Le rubbed her red cheeks a few times, barely adapting to this spell that can reach the heart.
"Okay, Mevle." Li Nuo responded with a normal expression.
After about ten seconds, the blush on Mevle's face dissipated. She controlled the fluctuations in her mind and signaled to Li Nuo that it was time to start.
Li Nuo nodded slowly and started the topic:
"More than a month ago, the Black Bone Hermit occupied the Demonized Rat Lair. At that time, Filia had a headache on how to deal with the Black Bone Hermit, which had high elemental resistance. I had planned to improve the Death Thread Wand, and You have a chat and see if I can share my knowledge of death magic with you for a fee. But this plan was interrupted by some conflicts. Fortunately, the conflicts were resolved in time, and there was no irreparable gap between us."
Mevle looked apologetic, bowed slightly, and said from her heart:
"Yes, I remember this. As Filia's mentor, I should have given her more guidance on how to deal with Zikmando. Due to my negligence, you and Zikmando happened. Conflict. I'm sorry for that."
Li Nuo responded with a gentle smile:
"It's not your fault, Mevle. I won't hold a grudge for this trivial matter. What I want to say is, do you still need knowledge of death magic? Death-type handmade wands, magic robes, magic organs, or It’s an encyclopedia of knowledge about death-related magic items. I can provide all of this content.”
Maeve Le bent her right arm and clamped it on the armrest of the sofa, supporting her chin with the back of her right hand, lost in thought.
Li Nuo did not throw out all the knowledge he had mastered.
This is a prudent approach.
On the one hand, he can keep his trump card and avoid being exposed by the counterparty all at once. This gives him greater pricing power and makes him more unpredictable.
On the other hand, Li Nuo knew very well that his current knowledge was not enough to completely convince a six-ring elemental wizard. Directly making a list of the knowledge you have and giving it to the other party for review is likely to have the opposite effect.
After he has accumulated more than a dozen magical knowledge in different fields in the future, he may be able to put the knowledge list on the trading table.
But now, it would be better to use a chat method similar to "midwifery" to accurately target customer needs.
Maeve Le said in thought:
"After I told the Wizards Advancement Association about the cooperation between the Alchemy Temple and alien space pollution, the Wizards Advancement Association exempted me from the responsibility of being forced to terminate the research on "abnormal magic". They will arrange new research tasks for me within half a year. Filia and the others will stay at the headquarters of Elemental Trial and continue to learn elemental magic. As for me, I will go to another place and perform new research tasks. "
Mevle dug into her magic pocket, took out a notepad, opened it, and handed it to Li Nuo.
On this page of the notepad, several place names and research tasks for the place are recorded.
"Please take a look, Li Lei. This is a research task that I will choose from the Wizards Advancement Association. Do you think, based on the knowledge you have, which one is better for me to choose?"
Li Nuo raised his hand and took the notepad.
His eyes stayed on the opened page, but the deconstruction method helped him obtain all the contents on the entire notepad.
Judging from the decomposition results, this notepad is Mevle's work diary, recording Mevle's daily work summary.
Since the Alchemy Temple did not allow her to study aberrations, Mevle focused her daily work on studying alchemy cats and training wizard students. These two research projects were also formulated by the Wizards Advancement Association. They are of lower importance than studying aberrations, but they can still get a lot of points.
Relying on the results of studying alchemy cats and training wizard students, Maeve Le's research task received a total score of 61 points, which just reached the passing mark set by the Wizards Advancement Association.
Therefore, after she was forced to terminate her mission to study aberrations, she was not punished by the Wizards Advancement Association.
These are all recorded on other pages of the notepad.
Li Nuo relied on deconstruction to get them.
In addition to these contents, there is also something recorded on the notepad that Maeve Le did not mention.
This incident is related to Mevle's promotion to a seventh-ring wizard, and from a mentor to a lecturer.
In the Unas Ring, in most cases, promotion to the seventh ring and promotion to lecturer professor occur at the same time and can be regarded as the same thing.
Promotion requirements are simple:
Obtain a score of 95 or above in any research task issued by the Wizards Advancement Association.
As long as this requirement is met, Mevle will be able to receive a large amount of training resources, become a seven-ring wizard, and serve as a lecturer.
When Mevle asked about his actions, if Li Nuo's answer only stayed at the superficial level of "which task is better", it would be somewhat inconsistent with his own image.
He had to approach the topic from the perspective of "Which research task is easier to get 95 points" in order to hit Mevle's true needs in one blow.
Only in this way will Maeve Le be willing to pay.
This was not difficult for Li Nuo.
On the page of the diary that was opened, three place names and three main research tasks were listed.
Location 1: Cahir Continent-Lamented Mountains-Fortress of Fire
Main research task: There are hundreds of thousands of crazy Ember Spirits living in the Fire Keep. Please find a way to communicate normally with the Ember Spirit and reach a friendly magical research contract with the other party. You can only get a 95-point rating by helping at least one Ember Spirit join the Circle of Unas.
Location 2: Cahir Continent-Howling Cloud Summit-Eternal Calamity Thunder Grit
Main research tasks: For a long time, the Everlasting Thunder Grit has been occupied by millions of lightning ghosts. Countless pioneers have proven that lightning ghosts cannot communicate and complete magical enlightenment. Please find a way to tame the lightning ghost into a magical companion, or transform it into a magical puppet. If you meet any requirements, you can get a 95-point evaluation.
Location 3: Guluomi Continent-the outermost area-the deserted and evil land
Main research tasks: The continent of Gulomi is synonymous with the dark continent. Its outermost location is known as the Badlands. There are tens of millions of Terrors roaming there. Terrors cannot communicate, cannot undergo magical initiation, cannot be tamed into magical companions, and cannot be transformed into magical puppets. Your mission there is to find a way to fight the Terrors, or find a way to destroy them for good. Find a way to defeat the Terror and earn a 95-point rating. If you can find a way to permanently destroy them, you'll get full points, 100 points.
There are three mission locations, three research tasks, and the difficulty of the tasks increases one by one.
With the help of Dinas, Li Nuo didn't even turn a blind eye when he saw the names of the three places: Fire Castle, Eternal Calamity Thunder Chasm, and Desolate Evil Land.
He knows these three places, knows what extraordinary creatures exist there, and even knows the temperament of those extraordinary creatures.
The Ember Spirit of Fire Castle is also known as the Flame Mad Spirit in the wizarding world.
This is a group of crazy fire creatures that try to burn everything with fire.
There are many useful magic materials in Ember Spirit, which are of great benefit to fire wizards and fire elemental wizards. There are wizard forces stationed around the Fire Castle all year round. They regularly clean up the ash spirits outside the Fire Castle and harvest batches of magic materials. Because of this, the Ember Spirits that kept emerging from the Fire Fortress did not flood the Mountains of Lament.
The lightning ghost in the eternal thunder chasm, "man" is as its name suggests. This is a spiritual creature that masters the power of lightning. Their situation is similar to that of Ember Spirits, who are regularly harvested due to their magical value. Both are extraordinary beings that can be controlled and restrained by wizards.
The Terror in the Desolate Land is different.
Unas Ring conducted a lot of research on it, and finally came to some very superficial conclusions:
The appearance of the Terror resembles a mass of black mist. It is not a spirit creature and does not possess a physical body. It is an energy creature composed of part shadow energy and part psychic energy.
This unique body structure determines that the horror is born with superb shadow and psychic abilities, and can be reborn from the shadow zone of the evil land after death.
From the beginning to the end, the two extraordinary creatures, the Lightning Ghost and the Terror, are closely related to Li Nuo's magical knowledge.
Since the Lightning Ghost is a spirit creature, the magical knowledge related to transforming souls and spirit bodies in "Soul Shaping Magic" will definitely come in handy. Similarly, the knowledge of death magic gained from the "Ten Commandments of Martyrdom" can also help Mevle.
The Terror's extraordinary abilities involve both the shadow system and the psychic system. The knowledge of psychic magic gained from the first, middle and second volumes of "River of Souls" will definitely be useful.
As for which research task Mevler should be advised to choose.
Li Nuo thought for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and came up with a clear answer:
"I suggest you choose the second research task, Mafule. I happen to have some death-like magic things related to spiritual creatures, they should be able to help you. If you can find a way to protect yourself from the lightning attack of the lightning ghost , then the death magic things I give you are enough to help you transform the lightning ghost into a magic puppet."
Maeve Le's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth curved.
Li Nuo looked at Mevle who was suddenly in high spirits, shook his hand and reminded:
"Don't get excited yet. The magic things I provide you do not include spell blueprints, but only an instruction manual for the death-type magic device and the magic device itself. I will help you make the death-type magic device required for the task. After that , you need to control it based on the knowledge I impart to you, and then complete the research task.
"In addition, when you write a research report, you must mark the death magic devices and knowledge you use as personal trophies for exploring magic ruins, lost sub-dimensions, etc. This is stated in the soul contract. It’s mentioned in the second paragraph, please pay more attention. In order to comply with the exploration behavior you mentioned in the report, you have to disappear from everyone’s sight for a period of time in a planned way.”
"Yes, Li Lei. I will consider it thoroughly and will never leak any secrets." Maeve Le said with a smile and a solemn nod.
During adventures such as exploring magical ruins and lost sub-dimensions, you can gain magical knowledge from non-wizard forces. This is one of the few legal means to master magical knowledge across domains within the Unas Circle.
Magical ruins are filled with dangerous magic traps and are guarded by deadly extraordinary creatures. Not to mention the lost sub-plane. Just the fact that the entrance to the plane opens and closes randomly is enough to scare away most wizards. Because no one knows whether the entrance to the secondary plane will be closed immediately after entering it, and then opened again after dozens or hundreds of years.
To a large extent, Li Nuo's behavior of selling knowledge is similar to directly placing magical relics and magical treasures in the sub-plane in front of Mevler.
Placing the source of unknown knowledge on magical ruins and secondary planes is enough to whitewash this knowledge.
This is also the common sense in the wizarding world that Li Nuo learned from Dinas. Dinas herself had never done this, but she had heard of many such deeds when she stayed in the Unas Ring.
The specific location and opening time of most magical ruins and sub-dimensions cannot be observed. The use of these two to launder knowledge is difficult to track by wizard law enforcers. Therefore, the Wizard Law Enforcement Department of Unas Ring turned a blind eye to this and pretended not to know about it.
When Li Nuo learned about these things, he asked Dinas a question:
Since you can gain magical knowledge in other fields by exploring magical ruins and sub-dimensions, why do the knowledge barriers between different fields still exist?
The answer is simple.
A magical relic is a "relic" because it was destroyed. Either destroyed by hostile wizarding forces or destroyed by alien space pollution. No matter what kind of external force destroyed the predecessor of the magic ruins, this means that the magic treasures in the ruins are in dilapidated condition, and may even be contaminated with alien space pollution that is difficult to remove.
It's a similar situation in the Lost Subplane.
Li Nuo initially thought that the magic treasure brought out from the magic ruins would be an old but complete magic book. In fact, they would be a few dirty pieces of paper that had barely survived attacks such as electric shock, fire, water immersion, acid etching, etc. It is difficult to compile systematic magic knowledge based only on these scraps of paper.
It is this that slows down the flow of knowledge across fields.
Of course, under extremely lucky circumstances, it is still possible to bring out relatively complete magic devices and knowledge from magic ruins and secondary planes.
Maeve Le can use the excuse of her good fortune to launder the knowledge and equipment she bought from Li Nuo.
——It is estimated that because many people have done this, there are rumors in the wizarding world that a large number of people are lucky enough to harvest magic ruins.
No matter what the truth is, it does not prevent the conclusion of this transaction.
Li Nuo checked the knowledge in his mind and found some content that met Mevle's needs.
He selected the most suitable one and described it to Maeve Le:
"That's it, Mevle. The magic device I'm about to sell you can transform mindless ghosts into ghosts with action logic, so that you can turn them into magic puppets through mental imprinting. Control this I will teach you the knowledge required for a magic device now. As for the magic device, I will contact you after you arrive at the mission location, and we will discuss together how to build this device and how to make it appear in the wizard In front of the students. Do you think it’s okay for me to arrange it this way?”
"Okay! I'm very satisfied." Maeve Le lowered her voice and whispered happily.
She held her hands in front of her, with a smile on her pretty face:
"Just do what you say. How many gold coins do you think I should pay?"
"Yeah" Li Nuo said thoughtfully:
"The magic device I am about to sell to you is of high value because it contains a complete death-type magic circle. If you are willing to delve into it, you can draw inferences from one example and develop more derivative magic circles. The process of developing derivative magic circles , is also a process of self-teaching death magic knowledge. You will gain a lot of additional knowledge brought by this magic device. Do you think I am right?"
"Yeah, I agree with your point of view." Maeve Le nodded repeatedly.
As a witch who has been "working" for many years, her strength of up to the sixth level is the best proof of her rich experience in magic.
She knew very well how important the device Li Nuo sold was.
A ready-made magic device is not just a simple device, it is more like a template of a magic device that can be copied without error. Within the framework it provides, you can develop new uses by yourself by adjusting the parameters within the device and putting in the correct magic materials.
This research and development process is inseparable from Mevle's own investment and dedication, but the key lies in the magic device given by Li Nuo.
"Let's do this, Mevle. Our payment will be settled in three installments.
"First of all, you pay a deposit of 50,000 gold coins, which is the average price for purchasing a high-level magic ring in the Unas Ring. I will teach you the instructions for the death-type magic device now.
"Secondly, after you arrive at the next research mission location, I will go to your place and build this magic device for you. The material cost of the magic device will be borne by you. In addition, you need to pay 100,000 gold coins as My wages.
"Finally, after the magic device operates normally, you have to pay 350,000 gold coins on site as the final payment.
"Total up, you need to pay 500,000 gold coins for magic devices and knowledge. Do you think this is okay?"
"No problem~" Maeve Le clapped her hands and smiled happily.
Li Nuo felt happy, it seemed that Ma Fule was far richer than he thought.
"Give me some time, I'll sort out the knowledge, and then I'll give it to you."
"Okay, Li Lei." Mafule tapped her chin, expectation flashing in her eyes.
Li Nuo sat on the sofa and cut off his "telepathy".
He closed his eyes, called up his personal panel in the darkness, and carefully selected the knowledge he had.
After the lightning ghost is stripped of its extraordinary ability to control lightning, it is just a ghost.
Mevle can complete this step of stripping away her lightning ability by herself.
So the key lies in how to transform the ghost into a magic puppet.
Ghosts and ghosts, these two spiritual creatures sound very similar, but they are actually very different.
Ghosts have minds, can think, and have their own set of action logic.
Ghosts have no soul or mind, and can only act according to their crazy instincts.
If you want to transform the ghost into a magical puppet that can be controlled by the caster, then a set of death-type magic circles that give it action logic is indispensable.
Li Nuo knew about this formation.
In the "Construction Drawings of the Arsenal of the Undead", there is a death-like magic facility called "The Tomb of Sorrowful Souls". It can give the spirit creature a logic of action.
Click on the construction blueprint of "Mourning Soul Tomb", throw out the deconstruction technique, and spend energy points to learn it.
Li Nuo easily imprinted this drawing into his mind.
He read it carefully, nodded secretly, and had an idea in his mind.
The "Grieving Soul Tomb" is divided into three parts: the requiem stone tablet, the soul transformation pool and the mourning inscription. The requiem stele is responsible for storing souls and spirit creatures, the soul transformation pool will transform spirit creatures, and the grief stele records the transformation rules of the transformation pool.
Dismantle, simplify, and adjust these three components to extract the parts needed by Maeve, then package and integrate them to create a death-like magic device that is completely different from the "Mourning Soul Tomb".
As a result, a drawing of a magical device designed and drawn by Li Nuo based on "The Tomb of the Sorrowful Soul" was released.
Li Nuo named this drawing "Death Device that Transforms Lightning Ghosts into Magic Puppetes", or "Death Device" for short.
In the future, as long as you take this blueprint and prepare the materials, you can build the corresponding magic device.
The designer of "The Tomb of Sorrowful Souls" is Professor Deckard, the mastermind behind the Death Society.
Li Nuo can guarantee that even if Professor Deckard got the blueprint of "Death Device", he would never be able to recognize the origin of the blueprint, let alone the relationship between the blueprint and the "Tomb of Sorrowful Souls".
Even the original author can't recognize the modified drawings, so isn't this "Death Device" original to Li Nuo~
To say that he plagiarized or imitated is completely baseless slander.
Li Nuo threw the deconstruction technique at the "Death Device".
The deconstruction results show that this drawing is feasible and does not have any loopholes.
Li Nuo was determined.
As for where the instruction manual for this magical device came from, it's even simpler.
As long as he copies the "effects" and "instructions" on the deconstructed panel information, and then adds the instructions for use of the "Sorrowful Soul Tomb", Li Nuo can create a correct instruction manual by deleting and deleting.
It took Li Nuo some time to complete these operations.
He opened his eyes, nodded towards Maeve Le who was staring at him, and once again activated the "telepathy" with the other party.
"Relax your mind completely, Mevle. I will use mind magic to instill the instructions for the magic device into you."
When Maeve Le heard this, her body trembled, and the awe on her face became even stronger, which was also mixed with visible nervousness.
"Relax, Mevle, relax. Don't tighten the lines of your face."
Li Nuo said gently:
"You can close your eyes and lean on the cushions, which may make you more relaxed."
"Yeah, okay." Mevle adjusted her sitting position, supported her head with her arms, and sat on the sofa to rest.
When her breathing became steady, Li Nuo called up another psychic spell that he had just obtained and activated it.
This spell is "Psychic Infusion", with a completeness of 20%. It is directly the highest level and cannot be upgraded.
With it, Li Nuo can instill knowledge into the objects of "telepathy". Types of knowledge include textual information, static and dynamic pictures, memory fragments, sound and smell information.
The drawback of this spell is that it takes a long time to infuse.
Normal "spiritual infusion" only takes about 10 minutes when delivering the instruction manual for the death device.
But in the hands of Li Nuo, the time required for indoctrination was extended to 50 minutes.
Li Nuo made some operations in his mind, and this spiritual infusion officially began.
Maeve Le suddenly noticed unfamiliar patterns and words appearing in front of her eyes.
She was slightly startled and quickly forced herself to calm down.
The work of "spiritual indoctrination" continued without interruption due to Mevler's mistakes.
When Li Nuo saw that Mevle was not frightened and made no mistakes, he secretly appreciated it and maintained the "spiritual infusion" casting state.
The secret room was silent, with no more movement except for the faint sound of breathing rising and falling.
