After Maeve discovered that Filia and Betty each had a counterfeit coin, she realized something was wrong.
She walked out of her suite and went to find other wizard students to check the gold coins in their hands.
Li Nuo stayed in Mevler's study and entered a state of contemplation.
It is not difficult to see from the content recorded in the ultrasonic data that the group of Dsmi series synthesizers prepared a plan to eliminate and rob the "natives" on the magic ship.
But there was one thing that Li Nuo was a little confused about.
Judging from the panel information of the fake supervisor, he is a synthetic human numbered "Dsmi-32", a synthetic human who drills for minerals in deep space. Instead of searching for the mineral treasures in the wizarding world, he planned to rob the "natives" on the magic ship. Isn't this a bit unprofessional...
Li Nuo didn't dwell on this issue for too long.
He decisively grasped the Sword of Silence, poured soul energy into it, and entered the "Garden of Silence".
His consciousness flew upwards, and a burst of indigo mist hit him.
In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the small classroom.
After pushing open the classroom door and stopping in front of the professor's study room, Li Nuo knocked on the door.
This time is not during class time. Erica will be writing magic books in the study room, or running to the magic laboratory to do experiments.
Li Nuo was lucky, Erica didn't go far, and the other party quickly opened the door with "Wizard's Hand" and let him in.
"What? Jarvis? Did you encounter a problem during your self-study?"
Erica pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose, with a smile in her beautiful eyes, as if to say, "You will also be stumped by knowledge."
"No, Professor, I came to you because of another thing. I discovered a group of strange people on the magic ship heading to the Suman Islands..."
Li Nuo told the whole story, and the original version copied the wording he used to explain the matter to Dinas.
Erica stopped smiling, and her fair and pretty face became serious.
While listening, she controlled the magic servant to rummage through the filing cabinets in the study.
A stack of magic manuscripts sealed in a metal box was brought by the magic servant and placed on her desk.
"Your description reminds me of one thing, Jarvis. About 15 years ago, a magic ship was attacked in another deep sea area. When it happened, the captain of the magic ship reported to the wizard in time Law Enforcement issued an alert and requested backup."
Erica took out the magic manuscript from the metal box, laid it flat on the table, and continued:
"As soon as the Wizard Law Enforcement Department received the alarm, they summoned a team of 10 combat wizards. Just when the team was about to pass through the portal and head to the magic ship, the teleportation anchor on the magic ship suddenly failed. , the portal failed to open normally. Look here..."
Erica clicked a magic animated picture with her fingertips. The picture shows a sea surface with a large amount of debris floating in it.
"By the time the fleet closest to the magic ship rushed to support, the magic ship that was attacked had been broken into pieces, and most of them disappeared without a trace. They should have sunk to the bottom of the sea. Including the captain of the magic ship, all crew members, passengers and None of the store clerks were spared."
Erica picked up a magic document with several portraits on it and sighed softly and said:
"At that time, there were a total of 8 wizards of sixth ring and above on the ship. One of them was the captain with the strength of ninth ring, and the other 7 wizards were mentors of magic institutions and wizard caravans ranging from sixth to seventh rings. Supervisor. These 8 wizards are all the teleportation anchor points of the teleportation gate. They lost contact at the same time, and the teleportation anchor point also lost contact at the same time.
"Since there were no survivors or witnesses of that disaster, we have not been able to find out the truth so far. I have a hunch that the suspicious characters you saw on the magic ship are probably related to the disaster 15 years ago. Because the ship at that time There is also a small wandering competition organization on the magic ship. And before the incident, a four-ring wizard once mentioned to his professor that the competition organization invited many wizards to perform magic on the stage, and gave each wizard who accepted the invitation A cash advance was made.”
Erica put down the magic manuscript, raised her hand and gently twirled her chin:
"There are very few small competition organizations that invite a large number of wizards to perform on stage at one time. This is one reason for the repetitive content of the performances. Another reason is that the prepaid remuneration is not a small amount, which will make small competition organizations Funds are under pressure.
"It's also a small competition organization that appears on a magic ship. It also pays cash in advance to invite wizards to perform on stage. I think it's no accident that your magic ship is in the same situation as it was 15 years ago."
Li Nuo approached the desk and looked at the magic manuscript on the table.
Throwing deconstruction techniques one after another following his gaze, Li Nuo collected the information from the magic manuscript.
Comparing this information with the information he obtained from observing the fake supervisor, Li Nuo discovered a lot of unusual things.
He made a table in his mind to calculate the parameters of the two magic ships.
Multiple approximate data appear on the table.
For example, the specifications of the magic ship 15 years ago are almost exactly the same as the one Li Nuo is riding now.
For another example, the number and composition of passengers on the magic ship 15 years ago are very similar to the one Li Nuo is on now.
Also, the geographical location of the two magic ships is also very strange.
The place where the magic ship happened 15 years ago is located in the deep sea area two thousand kilometers southwest of the Cahir continent. There is "no village in front of it, no store in back", and it is thousands of kilometers away from the nearest human stronghold.
Li Nuo's magic ship was sailing on the Black Fold Sea, and it was also deserted in all directions.
This kind of geographical location is simply tailor-made for killing people and selling goods.
Reminiscent of the tracking data of Filia and Betty, which clearly marked "worthless targets, kill on the spot", a sense of crisis intensified in Li Nuo's heart.
"Professor, what do you think I should do now?" Li Nuo asked.
Erica thought about it and responded:
"The top priority is to send a team of wizard law enforcers onto the magic ship to control everyone involved in the Bahrain Tournament. The mere charge of counterfeiting Unas gold coins is enough for the Wizard Law Enforcement Department to do this.
"There is a trouble with this approach. The movement of opening the portal will alert suspicious persons and may cause disaster in advance. We need to contact Captain Berkeley and ask him to cooperate when the wizard law enforcer teleports over, using magic Metal separates suspicious persons from legitimate passengers. But…”
Erica paused, crossed her arms, held the full moon, and transformed into an exquisite sculpture with a frowning brow.
After careful consideration, she expressed her deepest worries:
"However, I suspect that Captain Berkeley is an associate of that suspicious group of people."
Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and nodded:
"It is indeed possible... As the captain, he will strictly examine every passenger who boards the ship. Those suspicious people whose physiological structures are obviously different from ordinary people are unlikely to evade Berkeley's detection spell. The only explanation is that Berkeley and the suspicious people The people are working together."
Li Nuo touched his forehead.
If this is indeed the case, then things on the magic ship are really not that difficult.
"So be it, Jarvis. I have an idea."
Erica came back to her senses and said:
"The Wizarding Law Enforcement Department has an emergency response plan for major disasters that are about to occur. I will compile the clues you find into a report as quickly as possible and submit it to the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department. At the latest in about an hour, the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department will will board the ship. Doing so may injure innocent people by alerting suspicious persons. But there is no way, we must prepare for the worst. If Captain Berkeley colludes with suspicious persons, the disaster he causes will not only be caused by legitimate passengers. It’s that simple to get hurt.”
While Erica spoke, the magic pen on the pen holder flew up and wrote the manuscript quickly.
She used "Wizard's Hand" to take a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Li Nuo:
"I will use a magic messenger to explain the situation to the Wizard Law Enforcement Department and Maeve Le. At that time, you must cooperate with Maeve Le to open the portal of elemental trial, and the law enforcement wizard will board the ship through the portal of elemental trial. Also, if Maeve Fule failed to open the portal. You have to forcefully open our own portal.
"The book I gave you records the spells and spell-casting conditions that open the portal to the "Court of Silence". I think with your intelligence you should be able to learn it easily. The more troublesome part is that your mental strength may not meet the requirements to open the portal. But fortunately, you have a companion witch, Dinath can help you. The specific operation methods are in this book. Just take it and take a look and you will know. "
Li Nuo took the magic book, opened it and looked at the catalog.
There is not much content in the book, and he can learn it by staying in the Court of Silence for half an hour at most. Of course, this "half hour" is just a show. With his deconstruction skills, he can master the knowledge in the book in a second.
"Okay, Professor." Li Nuo nodded.
"Before you study this magic book on your own, let me introduce you to the emergency plan in detail."
Erica summoned tables, chairs, and benches, and taught Li Nuo the details of the plan that law enforcement wizards must know like a class.
To put it simply, in order to combat this kind of emergency where the enemy's strength and methods are unknown and may cause a major disaster, the Wizard Law Enforcement Department has formulated an emergency plan called "Condensation Disaster."
The Wizarding Law Enforcement Department will dispatch at least thirty law enforcement wizards to the incident location at one time.
In this team of law enforcement wizards, there will be extremely powerful combat wizards, usually the kind of ten-ring wizards who are just one step away from becoming a Star Witch.
This combat wizard will use magic with spell-breaking and confinement effects to forcibly control suspicious persons at the scene.
Prior to this, in order to avoid accidental injuries, other members of the law enforcement wizard team would evacuate the onlookers at the scene in advance and control the suspects who may be involved in the case individually.
In addition to these contents, there are many other matters in the plan.
While the two talked, Erica's magic pen continued to work.
After about half an hour, the two finished talking and the magic pen also wrote two manuscripts.
Erica took it and checked it, walked to the parrot and handed it over:
"Pudding, send two letters for me. The one with the red ribbon is for the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department. The one with the blue ribbon is for Maeve Le from the Elemental Trial. Don't send the wrong one."
"Do you want to eat a lollipop~" the parrot said, imitating Jenny's tone.
Erica's body trembled slightly and she sighed helplessly.
She took a colorful lollipop wrapped in transparent wrapping paper from her magic pocket, shook it in her hand, and said like coaxing a child:
"First deliver the letter, then come and eat the candy."
"Pudding is the best~" the parrot praised himself using Jenny's words.
It picked up the envelope in Erica's hand with its beak and stuffed it into the leather case under its wings.
After flapping its wings twice, the parrot circled and danced in the study room, turning into a transparent shadow and disappearing within a few seconds.
The ability of the magic messenger to travel through planes is so unpretentious and low-key, without any special magic light and shadow.
Li Nuo raised his head slightly and glanced at Erica quietly. She was obviously troubled by her rebellious messenger...
It’s right when you think about it.
If it were Li Nuo who knew about his magic messenger and was playing with others behind his back and helping them hide the truth, then he would definitely go crazy.
This kind of thing is different from the emergence of a third party between men and women.
If a man and a woman are not in harmony, the worst possible outcome is breaking up.
But magic messengers are too rare.
Erica didn't want to waste time and money, and if she renewed the contract with the magic messenger, she would have to endure the parrot's rebellion.
Hey, the magic messenger is really difficult to maintain.
Li Nuo sighed secretly.
Erica fell down on the chair, a little lost...
Half an hour later, after finishing reading the magic book, Li Nuo used a deconstruction technique to put what he had read into his mind.
【system information:】
[You have obtained a new active skill "Open Portal: Court of Silence". 】
[Your "Spirit" is 40 points, which is 90 points lower than the minimum requirement for this skill. 】
[Due to the relationship of "Soul Contract: Dinath", you can jointly cast spells with Dinath to activate this skill together. 】
Li Nuo glanced at the system text in his mind, stood up, and planned to resign to Erica.
At the same time, the magic messenger returned.
The parrot flapped its wings, transformed from a shadow into a real entity, circled around the room, and landed on the perch.
It took out two reply letters from the leather case under its wings and shouted to Erica:
"You want to eat a lollipop? You want to eat a lollipop."
The corners of Erica's mouth twitched visibly.
She smiled awkwardly at Li Nuo, took the reply from the parrot's mouth, picked up the lollipop with the wrapping paper removed, and stuffed it into the parrot's paw.
After opening the reply and taking a look at it, Erica regained her calm ladylike image:
"Jarvis, the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department has agreed to send a team of law enforcers to board the ship, and Mevle has also agreed to help open the portal. Now go back and cooperate with Mevle."
"Okay, Professor, I'm leaving first."
Li Nuo glanced at the parrot chewing a lollipop on the perch and silently recited "Leave the Courtyard of Silence".
The indigo mist hit him, and his consciousness dropped rapidly and returned to his body.
Opening his eyes, Li Nuo saw Mevle with a complicated expression, holding Erica's letter in his hand.
Li Nuo was stunned for half a second under Mevle's scrutinizing gaze, and then he realized why the rich witch looked like this.
Li Nuo rubbed the Sword of Silence that looked like a stone dagger in his hand and smiled stiffly:
"Hey... I didn't expect that I would join the "Silent Maiden", Maeve. Keep it a secret for us, okay? This secret cannot be made public for the time being. "
Maeve Le glanced up and down the surface of Li Nuo's body with probing and curious eyes, but soon realized that what she was doing was extremely inappropriate.
Her cheeks turned red, she lowered her head in embarrassment and said:
"Sorry, sorry, the news that you became a member of the "Silent Girls" is really shocking... Well, I mean, I will keep it a secret. This is also the request of your professor. "
Maeve Le regained her composure and stood up with a hint of blush on her cheeks.
She took out her branch wand and walked to the balcony of the suite.
"I'm going to open the portal."
Li Nuo followed the other party into the spacious open-air balcony, and at the same time used "soul induction" to explain the situation to Dinas.
Considering the extreme situation of the captain surrendering to the enemy, Li Nuo summoned Dinath to stand beside him after obtaining Mevle's consent.
Under the gazes of Li Nuo and Li Nuo, Mevle pointed the branch wand at the star with four colors of light in the night sky.
Wizards below the sixth level need to use spellcasting and chanting to strengthen their ability to sense artificial stars. The external manifestations are spells and spell-casting words that Li Nuo feels are a bit out of place.
Maeve doesn't have to do this.
She looked up at the sky with her branch wand and shot out the elemental light of the four elements: fire, earth, air, and water. These four finger-thick light pillars were twisted into a four-color spiral light pillar, piercing the sky at lightning speed.
At this moment, an iron-gray magical light flashed on the "wooden" wall of the balcony. The "wood" wall transformed from magic metal turned back into a gray metal wall.
Countless metal spikes protruded from the metal wall. They are entangled together like slender tentacles, and together they weave a magical metal man with human features.
"Ms. Maeve, what are you doing?"
The mouth of the magical metal man opens and closes, and the inside of the mouth is filled with metallic luster. The sound he made was hoarse and dry, like the noise made by hitting an iron piece.
This is obviously the magical metal clone that Captain Berkeley summoned on the balcony.
The four-color light pillars in the sky shot into the four-color stars, and the four-color stars rotated and expanded, forming a huge spiral vortex.
A dozen tiny figures flew out of the spiral vortex and fell straight towards the balcony directly below.
Mevle lowered her right arm holding the wand high, smiled politely at Captain Berkeley, and locked her eyes on the captain's every move:
"I'm doing what I should do, Captain Berkeley. This is a requirement of the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department. You don't know anything about the counterfeit money and suspicious people on the ship, right?"
Maeve Le's words were to the point and she did not break up with Berkeley.
But as a witch who has been practicing for many years, she knows very well how much control and insight a captain of a magic ship has over his own ship.
Therefore, even without evidence in hand, she concluded that Berkeley was secretly colluding with suspicious persons.
Li Nuo raised his hand and cast the "Necromancer Shield", covering himself and Dinas together, and protecting the other party behind him.
Dinasi held Li Nuo's left hand, held her own torch, and prepared the teleportation spell. If Berkeley behaves abnormally, she will teleport away with Li Nuo under Li Nuo's protection.
The two work together flawlessly and remain alert at all times. Mevle also summoned her own "Elemental Shield" to guard against Berkeley's magic metal clone.
As one of the parties involved in this incident, Captain Berkeley's reaction was expected by Li Nuo and the others.
He was in a trance like a person whose conspiracy was exposed, and then entered a state of rapid thinking.
As his thoughts surged, dense metal spikes appeared on the magic metal connected to his thoughts.
Seeing Berkeley's reaction, Maeve Le, Li Nuo and Dinas immediately felt at ease.
Berkeley indeed has quite a problem.
But immediately, Li Nuo and the others couldn't help but feel bitter...
If a nine-ring metal combat wizard wants to violently resist, the disaster scene that will happen can definitely be described as horrific.
What's more, this is the deep sea.
What's more, there are so many relatively humble passengers on the ship.
