"According to your latest island plan, how much funding gap do we still have?"
Li Nuo sat in the study room of the single-family house and stretched lazily.
Dinas held the account book and pen, and wrote a few lines on the book:
"The minimum standard for building an island in the new island plan requires a total of 200,000 gold coins. Now we are only short of 10,000 gold coins in cash, so we can collect the 200,000."
Li Nuo smiled and said:
"Unknowingly, the difference is only 10,000. It's a joke. When I go underground twice more and bring back some alchemy weapons, we can earn these 10,000 gold coins."
For more than half a month, Li Nuo has been spinning like a top.
During the day, I soaked underground to collect sage particles and alchemy facilities, and at night, I practiced breathing methods, physical exercises and meditation methods, without wasting any time.
The rewards of these busy days are obvious.
【Attributes】
Tenacity: 19. The progress bar of the body-building action is filled three times, and the toughness attribute value accumulates +3.
Vitality: 10. The practice progress of breathing method reaches level 1 882/1000, and the vitality attribute value +1
Strength: 5. The progress bar of the exercise action is filled three times, and the strength attribute value is +3.
Dexterity: 13. No changes.
Spirit: 40. Successfully practiced the martyrdom meditation method 17 times, and the mental attribute value was +17.
Charisma: 23. Due to the change in body shape, the charm attribute value +2.
[Soul Strength] 4518
[Energy value] 37812/53 (40+13)
The energy value has shrunk greatly, and the inventory of soul strength has also decreased. At this cost, the increase in panel properties is completely worth it.
Moreover, Li Nuo’s gains are not just changes in panel data.
He obtained a total of eight sage spaces from the Rift Corridor.
Three of them are alchemy wells, and the water output is similar, which is equivalent to that of a small magic water purifier. The more fresh water there is in the deep sea, the better. Even if these three alchemy wells are no longer used in the future, they can still be sold at a good price at the Ocean Magic Exchange in the Suman Islands.
Among the other five sage spaces, two are for producing building materials, and three are for producing fruits, vegetables and wheat.
The Sage Space that produces building materials has a relatively small output and may not be of much use on the Suman Islands.
But those three sage spaces that produce ingredients and food are rare treasures in the deep sea.
Watering fruit trees and farmland requires fresh water, which is scarce in the Suman Islands. This has resulted in high prices for food ingredients in the Suman Islands.
It can be said that if Li Nuo can take ten sage particles that produce food at one time, he will go to the Suman Islands. Then just by selling ingredients every day, he will be able to enter the wealthy business class of the wizarding world in the foreseeable future.
Of course, he is the kind of rich man who is not as wealthy as Mev Le.
Li Nuo wanted to collect more sage particles that produced food ingredients, but contrary to his wishes, there were no more sage particles of the same type in the cracked corridor in Sector 6.
As for whether to go to sector 5 to search for sage particles, Li Nuo has no such plan.
Because it was the place where leather and wood were processed 30 years ago, there were no large underground entertainment venues or underground restaurants.
Compared to Sector 6, the sage particles in Sector 5 tend to produce alchemical leather and alchemical wood. Li Nuo has no use for these two things.
In the underground corridors of other sectors, there may be many sage particles that produce food. Considering that those sectors were owned lands, Li Nuo did not go to plunder them.
At this point, the entire work of plundering the sage particles has come to an end.
As long as Li Nuo goes to the rift corridor and brings out some alchemy weapons, he can collect the minimum funds needed to buy the island plan.
Where can I find alchemy weapons worth 10,000 gold coins?
hey-hey.
Li Nuo smiled secretly.
He has ideas.
Three days ago, he used the "Illusion Body Technique" on the illusion ring to sneak into the shaft leading to the Black City.
The alchemists of the Alchemy Temple are renovating the alchemy array in the steeple. They want to use a more solid spell space to seal the descendants of the Blood Sun Seal.
Only after completing this step can the alchemists restart the machinery factory that produces universal metal powder.
Li Nuo took advantage of the fact that there were no legal alchemists in the machinery factory area and went in for a walk. He killed many illegal alchemists and got the opening card of an alchemy weapons warehouse.
As long as you search the warehouse, you should be able to earn 10,000 gold coins.
In addition to opening the alchemy card in the warehouse, Li Nuo also discovered the stronghold of the Black Bone Monastery.
This group of guys who used black bone fragments as alchemy stones set up their stronghold in the corner of the Black City.
Li Nuo avoided the legal alchemists wandering in the black city and entered the stronghold of the Black Bone Monastery, which was a dark cave.
Li Nuo used "Perception Tampering" to avoid the black-bone hermit in the cave, and combined with "Psychic Bombing" to assassinate silently, he achieved perfect infiltration.
In the deepest part of the cave, he found what he had been dreaming of:
The Soul Transposition Array of the Black Bone Monastery.
This is a three-dimensional magic array, covering an area of more than 30 square meters, and looks like a hollow pyramid. The user of the magic circle stands in the center of the magic circle, places specific alchemical materials around himself, and then pours soul energy into the magic circle to open the magic circle.
Li Nuo destroyed this three-dimensional magic array in a simple and crude way and obtained its complete set of alchemy blueprints.
By the way, there are still 30,000 energy points recorded.
Without the 30,000 points of energy reward, Li Nuo's energy inventory on the panel would only be in four figures.
"Dinas, I'm going to take a walk in the rift corridor now. You may need to take me out later."
Li Nuo sat at the desk and began to sort out the contents of the blood space and magic pocket, preparing for the next trip to the corridor.
"Okay, I'll leave first. I'm always waiting for news from you."
Dinas summoned a torch, waved her hand towards Li Nuo, and teleported back to her house neatly without any delay.
"Okay, all the alchemy tools I need are in the magic pocket. It's time to go to the corridor to get the last fortune. If the locals know that I took so many sages from the ownerless corridor, If I have particle and alchemy weapons, then I guess they will have the idea of beating me to death... Jie Jie Jie, fortunately I have always kept a low profile."
Li Nuo stood up, put his finger on the illusion ring, and was about to cast the "Illusion Body Technique".
Before officially entering the invisible state, he habitually called up the magical vision of the "surveillance camera" to check the situation around the house.
The steam locomotive from Cat Society Manor caught his attention.
Under Li Nuo's surveillance, the steam locomotive drove through the busy streets and headed straight towards the single-family house where he was currently.
"Oh? Does the Elemental Trial have anything to do with me?"
Li Nuo lowered his hands and stopped rubbing the ring.
He thought about it and realized that he had not made an appointment to meet with anyone from the Elemental Trial recently, had he?
Li Nuo shrugged slightly and did not think deeply.
"The alchemy weapons in the warehouse are there, they can't escape. I'd better see what the Elemental Trial wants to do with me first."
Li Nuo put on his formal attire for visits and walked into the living room on the first floor after the door was knocked.
It was Filia who came to take him to the manor.
After going through this period of adjustment, she took the parting lightly. When she occasionally remembered that she would not be able to see her parents in a short period of time, she would become slightly dull during the conversation, but she would recover immediately.
Li Nuo briefly greeted her, then followed her into the car and headed to Cat Club Manor.
"What do you want from me this time, Filia?" Li Nuo asked the beautiful witch sitting in the driver's seat.
"I'm not sure. The teacher asked me to come to you." Filia shook her head slightly.
"Oh, that's how it is"
The man's first sense told Li Nuo that something was slightly wrong.
If you think about it carefully, from the first time you came into contact with Elemental Trial until now, every time the other party came to visit you would have a clear purpose - except for the time when Betty, a wild female cat, started fighting as soon as she came.
Even if Maeve Le wanted to ask Li Nuo to answer the doubts arising from learning knowledge, she would use a suitable excuse to ask Filia or Betty to invite Li Nuo to the manor.
But now, Filia herself didn't know why she brought Li Nuo to the manor.
Li Nuo has always believed in the saying "When things go wrong, there will be monsters."
Judging from his two lifetime experiences, this sentence has never been wrong.
It was obvious that the reason why Elemental Trial invited him over this time could not be explained clearly to his guest. As a result, Filia could only execute the order rigidly, unable to reveal even the slightest secret.
Li Nuo maintained his due calmness and calmness on the surface, thinking carefully in his mind.
Pieces of information and pictures flowed from his memory, weaving a long river of clues before his eyes.
Hmm~Interesting.
It should be the wizard enforcer coming, right? Counting the days, it will only take a few days for the law enforcers to arrive in Gathering City.
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly.
Wizard enforcers have the highest authority to act. They can enter any place by any means without notifying anyone or any extraordinary force.
In addition, wizard law enforcers are not as simple as having high levels of authority and being powerful.
Each of them has the means to "break the law".
The so-called "spell-breaking" means refer to extraordinary means that make wizards completely unable to cast spells and use magic props.
Only by mastering this skill can wizard law enforcers be called "law enforcers", otherwise they are just clowns who rely on their strength and background to make noises.
Like the Pure Light Court.
This is the most powerful branch of wizards in the radiant wizard faction. All its combat wizards of the third level and above have mastered the spell-breaking spell that makes the target unable to cast spells - "sunlight spell".
A beam of sunlight descending from the artificial sun enveloped the enemy. Wrap the enemy with huge and pure radiant energy, isolating it from all other energy, and at the same time blocking the non-radiant energy in its spiritual ocean from appearing outside the body. As a result, the enemy will not be able to cast spells in "Sunlight".
Calculated based on the number of wizard law enforcers, Li Nuo has a one-third probability of meeting a wizard law enforcer from the Pure Light Tribunal, and a two-thirds probability of encountering a law enforcer from other wizard forces.
So, what kind of wizard law enforcer is waiting for him in Cat Club Manor?
Li Nuo thought to himself, not panicking at all.
He and Filia were chatting, and the steam locomotive drove into the gate of the manor.
Go deep into the second floor of the manor castle and come to Maeve Le's study.
As soon as Li Nuo entered the room, he threw the deconstruction spell at Maeve Le, whose smile was slightly distorted.
Consuming 3,000 energy points in one breath, Li Nuo captured recent memory fragments from the other party.
Li Nuo sat down and talked as usual, focusing part of his mind on checking the other person's memory fragments.
A woman who made Mevle look a little embarrassed appeared in a certain memory.
This is a woman wearing metal armor that looks like an iron barrel.
She wore a metal mask that covered the lower half of her face. The upper half of the face that was not covered by the metal mask had stiff contours, and the skin was covered with traces of wind and sun exposure and a few scars that could not be eliminated.
Her eyes had crimson pupils, extremely cold, sharp, and focused, as if nothing else could attract her attention except hunting down wizard criminals.
She has no hair and is bald. This is rare among witches, but it also makes her as determined and decisive as a real man.
There were no patterns or words on her metal armor that symbolized her identity or status.
Only the magic sword flying around her showed her identity.
Li Nuo recognized the origin of the sword at a glance.
The Sword of Silence.
A magical sword with the power of destruction after death.
This is a wizard law enforcer from "Silent Girl".
This offshoot of the Death Faction draws the magic of silence from the scene of silence after death.
The specific principle of magic is unknown to outsiders, but what is certain is that the magic of silence has its own spell-breaking effect, which is far more efficient than the "sunlight spell" of the Pure Light Court.
"Silent Girls" only recruits witches and does not have any male members.
To be honest, Li Nuo would rather face the wizard enforcers of the Pure Light Tribunal.
Because the wizards of the Pure Light Court especially like to follow procedures.
They will strive for the legality of the procedure, starting from the collection of evidence, and proceeding to the trial legally step by step. This inevitably leads to the ineffective wizard enforcers of the Court of Light. Li Nuo has plenty of time to deal with their investigation.
But the Silent Witch of "Silent Girl" is different. This group of witches pay special attention to efficiency. Once a person is determined to be guilty, they will immediately punish him without going through the trial process at all.
Just like Samuelson, the criminal psychic wizard. If he falls into the hands of the Jingguang Court, he can live for at least half a year. Within this six months, as long as he can collect the money to pay the fine, he can regain his freedom.
But in the hands of Silent Witch, Samuelson only had three seconds.
In the first second, the Silent Witch asks him with spell subtitles "Do you have money to pay the fine?"
For a second, Samuelson remained silent because he was cash-strapped.
In the third second, the magic light burst out, Samuelson received the lunch on the spot, and the Silent Witch went back with the corpse to make a deal.
Just so decisive, so straightforward.
As he read Mevle's memories in depth, Li Nuo gradually realized what he was about to face.
Maeve was forced to give the information about the wandering wizard to the Silent Witch. This happened two days ago.
Within these two days, the Silent Witch read all the information in the secret room of the manor and regarded Li Nuo as one of the suspects.
Li Nuo could understand why the other party did this. I was not strong enough and experienced before, so it was inevitable that I would show some flaws. It is normal for these clues to be picked up by the Silent Witch.
Li Nuo was confident that he could clear his mind through words and prepared things.
But here comes the question, why did the Silent Witch suddenly investigate the cause of Jackmando's death? Shouldn't she go back to work with Samuelson and the soul-stealer's token?
Li Nuo read Maeve Le's memories from back to front. When he flipped through the memory fragments from four days ago, the truth came to light.
Four days ago, after Mevle ended her "online" communication with the professor, this witch who always maintained an elegant attitude couldn't help but complain to Filia in the study:
"Jimat actually thinks that we are the ones who killed Zikmando. Hmm, I haven't settled the accounts with him yet for his students' attempt to unite with the Black Bone Hermits to trap us."
Gimat had discovered Jikmando's death. Li Nuo nodded secretly.
It seems that it is nine out of ten that it was Gimat who asked the wizard law enforcers to investigate the cause of Jackmando's death. Except for him, the lecturer, no one would pay so much attention to Zikmando.
"Li Lei, thank you for providing me with the knowledge about death magic."
Mevle forced out a smile and said:
"If you don't mind, I would like to ask you to go to the spell practice room of the castle and adjust the death wand for me."
"Okay, I happen to be free."
Li Nuo smiled indifferently, stood up and walked out of the study with the other party.
Spell practice room, a place dedicated to practicing spells. In order to prevent the spell from spreading to other rooms, a three-meter-thick magic stone wall will be installed there.
By attacking me in such a place, the Silent Witch can minimize the disaster of the battle.
Using Muffler to lure me to the spell practice room was also a nearly perfect excuse.
It seems that the Silent Witch already knows my strength from Maeve Le.
Although she didn't have any concrete evidence that I killed Zikmando, she was already prepared for the worst case of violent resistance.
Li Nuo felt peaceful.
He did not blame Mevle for revealing her situation to the Silent Witch, because he had considered in advance the situation of Mevle being questioned by wizard law enforcers.
In the soul contract he signed with Maeve Le, Li Nuo clearly wrote:
When Party B (Mevle) is questioned by wizard law enforcers, it is necessary to clarify the reason for being questioned. If questioned for purchasing knowledge from Party A (Li Nuo), Party B should explain the knowledge as legitimate gains from exploring magical ruins and lost sub-planes. If Party B is not questioned because of purchasing knowledge from Party A, when Party B is asked by the law enforcer for Party A's details, Party B can tell the wizard law enforcer the true situation of Party A exactly as it is, except for matters related to psychic magic.
Why did Li Nuo design this clause?
Because Li Nuo knew Mave Le's character very well.
There is nothing wrong with her being a witch who is thirsty for knowledge, but she is also a mature witch who has been in the wizarding world for many years.
If she was questioned by law enforcers just for purchasing illegal knowledge, she could handle it diplomatically.
But if she is not being questioned for purchasing illegal knowledge, like now, she is being questioned for allegedly killing Zikmando, then there is a high probability that she will actively cooperate with the law enforcement officers to clear herself because she does not want to take the blame for others. suspicion.
Li Nuo had no intention of forcing her to take the blame for him, as this would offend a customer, so he simply listed this item in the soul contract.
This is one of what Maeve Le calls an "unpopular situation."
If Li Nuo hadn't designed the soul contract in such detail, Maeve Le would not have signed a soul contract with him. This is a lifelong contract, so there is no way Mevle could be careless.
To summarize in one sentence:
Li Nuo greatly praised Mevle for cooperating with the law enforcement officers in the investigation, because the other party fully complied with the contract and fulfilled its responsibilities.
Li Nuo didn't have any thoughts of disgust or revulsion towards such a witch who strictly enforced the soul contract.
As for the questioning and pressure from the Silent Witch, to be honest, Li Nuo was not too worried.
He, Li Nuo, never does anything he is not sure of.
