"Oh, my poor shop was most likely destroyed by the energy wave just now. When I think about my alchemy instruments and magic devices being destroyed, I feel a headache." Kalandi sighed bitterly.
She raised her head and looked at Li Nuo who was holding her:
"Thank you, Li Lei. Thank you for protecting me when energy fluctuations hit. Are you injured? I have some special medicine for treating trauma..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu""Dinas" turned into a torch and lay on Li Nuo's shoulder, sobbing.
Li Nuo tapped the torch, said a few words of comfort, and activated "Death Flight", turning it into a black ribbon suspended in the air.
"I'm fine, ma'am. The Ring of Tranquility came just in time and I wasn't hurt. "Li Nuo responded to Karandi.
Dinas's mood gradually stabilized, and she floated tightly against Li Nuo's white skull, with the sound of sucking coming from time to time.
As a relatively emotional companion witch, it is normal for her to react like this.
The leaves transformed by Kalandi circled around Li Nuo. Seeing that there were no scars on the black ribbon transformed by the other party, he felt relieved:
"You seem to be in good condition and you are indeed not injured. When the matter is over, I will get you a bottle of magic elixir as a thank you gift. It is really rare that my old bones can still be protected by others. "
Karandi thanked her sincerely. As an old witch who has experienced many things, she knows that the actions a person takes in times of crisis can best reflect their character.
Li Nuo protected her and Dinas against his chest when the manic and ferocious energy struck. This move was enough to prove that Li Nuo was someone who could be trusted and relied on.
Karandi knew this very well.
"Thank you, ma'am." Li Nuo did not decline Kalandi's gratitude. Magic elixirs can generally directly improve a wizard's spellcasting ability, so the more of them the better.
"Dinas, stop crying. I'm fine. I'm not hurt."
Li Nuo comforted the sniffling Dinasi with a warm voice.
Before he could finish his words, the soul contract signed with the "Silent Girl" shocked his mind at the soul level.
"Oh, wait, the professor is looking for me." Li Nuo kept flying and entered the "Garden of Silence".
His consciousness traveled upwards rapidly and plunged into the indigo mist.
In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the small classroom assigned to him by Erica.
Erica stood right in front of him.
When she saw Li Nuo coming, Erica said:
"The disaster on the magic ship has basically been resolved. Now take Kalandi back to the ship. Comini will arrange the rest of the work for you."
"Okay, Professor, I'm going back then." Li Nuo nodded and silently recited "Leave the Court of Silence".
His consciousness sank and he returned to his body. The dark and oppressive sea of black folds once again appeared in front of Li Nuo's eyes.
"Madam, Dinas, come with me. Let's go back to the ship." Li Nuo and Kalandi warned:
"We'll get on the ship later. Please don't act without authorization, madam. You still have to cooperate with the law enforcement wizard to complete several inspections."
"Yeah, no problem." Kalandi said while flying:
"I was not involved in the Berkeley incident. I don't even know what happened on the ship. So I'm not worried about being charged at all."
"That couldn't be better." Li Nuo agreed.
Dinasi has regained her composure after a brief moment of losing control of her emotions. The torch she turned into stayed close to Li Nuo, as if she was afraid of losing him.
Even when the three of them flew to the magic ship, transformed back into their human form, and landed on the deck covered with scorch marks and dents, Dinas remained there, hugging Li Nuo's arm tightly with her arms.
Although she didn't say anything, her watery eyes and tight lips had already expressed all the uneasiness, fear, worries and love in her heart.
Li Nuo accurately read Dinas's emotions and needs.
He raised his arm sideways, gently brushed Dinas's arm, and whispered:
"Let me take care of the work first. When it's over, I'll accompany you."
"Yeah." Dinas wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand.
She adjusted her veil to cover her face so that others would not see her red eyes.
She also relaxed her grip around Li Nuo's arm, and instead used one arm to hold Li Nuo's arm.
Kalandi stood aside, watching the actions of Li Nuo and Dinas with the eyes and expressions of a veteran, and raised the corners of his mouth in a kind and polite manner.
Li Nuo smiled at the old witch, turned around and looked at the small town on the ship that was destroyed by the reactor explosion.
The earth-shattering explosion just now caused a "tornado that destroyed the parking lot" in the small town on the ship.
All the magical metal buildings were twisted into twists by the violent force.
The metal dome covering the town on the ship has become like a spider web, riddled with holes, and not a single metal wall is intact.
It is no exaggeration to describe the scene on the ship as devastated.
What shocked Li Nuo and the others the most was that the town on the ship suffered a serious collapse.
A huge funnel-shaped hole appeared in the open square in the center of the town, dragging all the surrounding magical metal buildings into the depression.
Normally, the town on the ship is located on the upper deck of the magic ship. Below the upper deck is the middle deck, where the captain places various magical devices.
Now the middle deck was also completely destroyed by the previous explosion, and a large number of magic devices that supplied energy and power to the magic ship were destroyed.
As a result, the magic ship lost its source of power and could only float on the surface of the Black Fold Sea.
Fortunately, the lower deck was mostly fine.
Due to the corrosive nature of deep sea water, the lower deck has the highest internal and external defenses of the entire ship.
Thanks to this, the explosion caused by the reactor only slightly deformed the cabin and outer armor plate of the lower deck, and there was no hole that caused the intrusion of seawater.
Putting aside the matter of helping the magic ship regain power, the top priority is to investigate the source of this disaster and the criminals.
Li Nuo noticed that among the ruins of the town on the ship, there was a gray mist flying towards the three of them.
This gray mist is none other than Komini, the Silent Witch.
Li Nuo stretched out his hand forward, pointed at the figure flying towards the three of him and said:
"Kalandi, this law enforcement wizard is the Seventh Circle Silent Wizard Komini."
After Comini landed, Li Nuo introduced Karandi to Comini, completing the work of introducing the two parties to each other.
Compared with Li Nuo's standard wizard appearance wearing a magic robe, Komini's magic metal armor is obviously more impactful. Coupled with the shiny bald head, her aura is extremely powerful.
When Komini arrived, even if Karandi had a clear conscience and had not committed anything, he inevitably became nervous.
"Jarvis, I will be responsible for questioning Qalandi." Komini walked closer, the magic metal armor on his body clanking.
"Okay." Li Nuo nodded.
Comini raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the ruins of the town, and said to Li Nuo:
"Now you go and cooperate with other law enforcement wizards to clean up the explosion scene. It's right there, in the direction of the Bahrain Arena. The Pure Light Wizard will tell you how to do it, just follow what he said. I have explained to them in advance that you and Dai In Nas’s case, the Pure Light Wizard won’t care too much about your identities.”
"Yes, I'll go right away." Li Nuo grabbed Dinas, entered flight mode, and flew towards the source of the explosion.
Companion witches are special among wizards. Due to the relationship between soul contracts, companion witches and contractors who have a harmonious relationship can often be regarded as the same entity.
Dinas is not a law enforcement wizard, so she can follow Li Nuo to the source of the explosion and clean up the scene. Of course, she could only watch, couldn't speak, and couldn't touch anything at the scene.
As the source of the explosion, the Bahrain Arena was the only smooth and neat place among the ruins of the entire town.
The huge energy released by the reactor explosion dug a flat, arc-shaped hemispherical pit in the ground here. The surface of the pit is compressed and compacted, forming a smooth arc-shaped ground.
The original facilities in the arena were either melted by the high temperature and pressure, or were knocked into the ground by the high pressure, becoming a "paper cut" on the curved metal floor.
When Li Nuo saw such a scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
There is no other reason…
The synthetic humans, neutrino communicators, micro-cold fusion reactors, and other things he had seen before using his "psychic vision" were all crushed to pieces by the reactor explosion, leaving no intact parts.
Even the annular shell of the reactor was not spared, not to mention the chips, cables, metal joints, artificial flesh and other things in the synthetic human body.
It is really difficult to restore the real explosion scene with the only broken parts left at the scene.
Li Nuo and Dinas landed on the edge of the hemispherical pit.
A pure light wizard wearing a pale golden mask received them.
"You must be the only wizard in "Silent Maiden"..."
The visitor's eyes passed through the two gaps in the mask, briefly looked at Li Nuo, then stretched out his hand and said:
"I am the three-ring pure light wizard, Bell Longtini. It is an honor to meet you and your companion witch, Lenno Jarvis. Your luck is really enviable. If you are caught by Unas Ring Daily If reporters find out, it's guaranteed to be headline news."
"Hello, Rontini." Li Nuo shook hands with the other party.
The three-ring pure light wizard shook his hand and said calmly:
"Oh, no, please call me Bell. Due to family reasons, I cannot communicate with others by my last name before I become the Sixth Ring Pure Light Wizard. So, please call me by my first name."
Bell didn't dwell on the issue of address. He used his arm to make a circle on the hemispherical pit next to him:
"You see, even though the dangerous explosion was absorbed by the Ring of Tranquility, it still left indelible scars on the ship. Our job here is simple: collect everything that doesn't belong to the ship. "
Bell took out a tiny crystal fragment from his magic pocket.
This crystal fragment is transparent, with fine and tiny white lines inside.
Li Nuo knew that this thing came from a certain chip in the synthetic human body.
He maintained his proper personality on the surface, pretending to observe with curiosity and said:
"What's this…"
"I'm not sure, maybe it's some kind of novel creation based on magic runes."
Bell handed over the magic bag and the crystal fragments in his hand:
"This magic pocket is specially used to store samples. You have to put all suspicious things into the sample pocket. Be sure not to use magic or magic servants to collect samples. The energy fluctuations of magic may damage the samples, or Cause unknown changes. Magical servants can also cause such conditions. Remember, when collecting samples, hands wearing protective gloves are the most reliable. Your gloves are in the sample pocket."
"Thanks for the advice, Bell." Li Nuo took out the gloves from his pocket and put them on himself.
Made of black leather fabric, soft and tough, this is obviously a piece of hand protection carefully crafted by magic craftsmen.
Li Nuo threw out the Deconstruction Technique and took a look.
The deconstruction consumption of up to 50,000 points is enough to show that the protective effect of this pair of gloves is excellent.
"Did the previous explosion cause any injuries?" Li Nuo asked, putting on his gloves.
Bell nodded:
"Several law enforcement wizards with strength from three to six rings were injured. If I hadn't been protected by the professor, I wouldn't have been able to escape the impact of the explosion. Captain Berkeley was also slightly injured. He passed out and is now being beaten by my The professor and several other law enforcement wizards watched."
Bell clapped his hands:
"Okay, let's get to work and chat when it's over. You start collecting samples from here, and I'll start from the opposite side. There would have been a few wizards coming to help, but the condition of the middle deck was so bad that they were We were sent to make emergency repairs on the power facilities. We are the only two here now."
After speaking, Bell walked half a circle around the hemispherical pit, arrived at the edge of the pit opposite Li Nuo, and began to collect the samples scattered on the ground bit by bit.
Li Nuo took Dinas aside and stuffed a cheese-flavored candy into her hand.
Dinas took advantage of the fact that no one was looking at her, stuffed the candy into her mouth, and smiled happily at Li Nuo, her mood was obviously much better.
Li Nuo settled Dinas down, followed Bell's example, and bent down to collect the samples on the ground.
Most of the samples were embedded in the ground, and they had to be pried out using the tools in the sample pockets.
Li Nuo picked up a chip fragment the size of a fingernail from the ground and skillfully threw the deconstruction technique.
Feedback information shows that this transparent chip is an integral part of the synthetic human balance module.
Li Nuo looked at this crystal clear little thing and thought of the "communication content" obtained by deconstructing the neutrino communicator.
The communication content sent by the 15 synthetic humans to the outer space contained many imaginative keywords.
The first keyword: Wizard World-2 deep space drilling mission.
The "Wizard World" refers to the current world, and Li Nuo can be sure of this.
Secondly, the word "No. 2" appears in "Wizard World-No. 2".
Thinking of another similar disaster 15 years ago, Li Nuo felt that that disaster was probably the "Wizard World-1 deep drilling mission."
The Dsmi series of synthetic humans are specially used to drill for minerals in deep space environments.
Li Nuo had a misunderstanding before.
He thought that "minerals" must be mineral veins buried in the ground to be called "minerals".
Now, he knew he had misunderstood.
Magic ships made of massive amounts of magic metal are also a kind of "mineral".
The magic ship is different from the naturally occurring minerals in nature. It is a product of metal magic, and it is the kind of magic product that is very advanced for the wizarding world.
Bringing something like a magic ship back to the outer space is equivalent to taking away a valuable mineral from the wizarding world.
Therefore, drilling for “minerals” is not the same as finding mineral veins. Find a magic ship that can be plundered and also drilled for "minerals".
Thinking about it this way, it makes perfect sense that a group of synths tasked with drilling for minerals would come and plan to rob a magic ship and its captain.
Li Nuo's speculation is well-founded and related to the two mission objectives mentioned in the "communication content".
The goals of these two missions are to capture the "Nine-Ring Metal Wizard Berkeley" and to capture "Berkeley's Magic Metal Ship".
The galaxy-level extraterrestrial force called Deep Space United Mining obviously regards the wizarding world as an indigenous world rich in magic metals.
It is invading the wizarding world and plundering magic metal resources. Once it succeeds, the entire indigenous population on the magic metal ship will face massacre.
The synthetic man was killed by Li Nuo, and the neutrino communicator was also destroyed by Li Nuo, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Because before he killed the synths and the communicator, the communicator had already sent a message to the outer space requesting the support of armed starfleet.
The magic ship's power system is damaged. In a short period of time, the magic ship will not be able to leave the sea where it is now.
If the armed star fleet receives the message and follows the coordinates recorded in the message to search for the magic ship, there will definitely be a conflict between the other party and the wizard law enforcers.
On a certain level, the armed interstellar fleet that breaks through the star filter blockade is no different from the alien space pollution that opens up alien gaps.
Armed Starfleet is the equivalent of a polluted realm caused by extraterrestrial pollution.
How well do you arm the Starfleet? Li Nuo thought that it should far exceed the two pollution areas he had experienced before.
The reason is that Berkeley and his magic ship currently do not have the conditions for interstellar navigation. If Deep Space United Mining wants to take him and his magic ship to the outer space, it must actually transport the extremely heavy cargo of the magic ship from the sea to the outer space.
The size of the magic ship is impressive, and the mass even more so.
If Deep Space United Mining can transport "minerals" of this scale, then its armed star fleet will not be any worse, no matter how weak it is.
Eh? That's not right... Li Nuo was suddenly startled, and the movement of bending down to pick up the sample paused.
A not so good idea flashed in his mind, prompting him to call up the investigation report of the disaster 15 years ago.
