【system information:】
[You are about to use deconstruction on the "abnormal magic ship". 】
[Based on the results of your deconstruction of the "abnormal metal sign", the energy required for this deconstruction has been reduced. 】
[It is expected to consume 9.01 million energy points, which can increase the completion of deconstruction to 100%. 】
【Notice! 】
[Deconstructing this target will have a negative impact on you, and you must use harmless deconstruction to deconstruct it. 】
When Li Nuo flew out of the disc ship, he aimed at the magic ship directly below and threw multiple deconstruction spells in succession.
The destination of his and Comini's flight was an emergency ship.
Within a minute after they left the disc ship, the amount of energy required to deconstruct the magic ship changed.
It rose from 9.01 million points to 9.02 million points.
1 minute, up 10,000 points.
Li Nuo silently counted the time while flying, and threw the Deconstruction Technique again one minute later.
The deconstruction consumption of the magic ship increased again by 10,000 points, reaching 9.03 million.
This strange change in deconstruction consumption is definitely caused by the will and blood of the Metal Ancestral Dragon.
This ancient metal dragon lurking behind the scenes of the Metal Creation Group is transforming the magic ship left behind in Berkeley.
The direction of the transformation is unknown, and the purpose of the transformation is unknown.
It's definitely not a good thing anyway.
Li Nuo didn't want to spend the next 20 days with this magical ship that carried the will of the metal ancestor dragon. What was the difference between staying in a hotel and being surrounded by more than 500 cameras?
We have to think of a way.
Li Nuo's mind was like lightning during the flight and he thought of countermeasures quickly.
First, he needed to figure out roughly what the Metal Archosaur was doing.
Li Nuo called up his own panel information and looked at his energy inventory.
[Energy value] 9101/56 (40+16)
Compared with the previous energy value of hundreds of thousands, the current inventory of less than 10,000 is indeed a bit tight, but now is not the time to be too frugal.
Li Nuo threw the deconstruction spell at the magic ship below, consuming 3000 energy points and launching harmless deconstruction.
[Harmless deconstruction successful! 】
[Your deconstruction completion of the "Abnormal Magic Ship" has been slightly improved. 】
[You have obtained very little panel information:]
[Name] Abnormal magic ship
[Type] Metal magic creation
[Item Level] Unknown
【illustrate】
You discovered the will and blood power of the metal proto-dragon Tarsari on this ship.
The system predicts that Talsali is transforming this magic ship to become his own body in this world.
When the transformation is completed, the figure of the ancient metal dragon may reappear on the earth. Or, this magic ship will still maintain the appearance of a magic ship and continue to drift around the world, carrying passengers.
(The deconstruction is not completed enough and you failed to obtain more information.)
The Metal Archosaur transformed the magic ship into its own body. Doesn't this mean that the passengers became the food waiting to be digested in its belly?
Well, if I knew about the changes in the magic ship and took Dinas on board, wouldn't I be willing to die on my own initiative?
Li Nuo's eyes moved back and forth between the magic ship and the emergency ship.
He thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
There are many deep sea wizards on the emergency ship, the leader of which is the nine-ring deep sea wizard Selina.
This witch is not a combat wizard. She is the deputy director of the Deep Sea Branch and is based in the Suman Islands. She and her academy wizards must go back through the portal.
If you can find a suitable reason to teleport to the Suman Islands with them, it will undoubtedly be the best and safest plan. It can not only avoid dangerous magic ships, but also save time wandering on the sea.
But how to teleport to the Suman Islands with the deep sea wizards?
Li Nuo fell into deep thought and finally asked this question to Comini who was flying beside him.
After listening to this, Comini gave a somewhat troublesome but practical method:
"You can go to the professor to accept a bounty mission to track down wizard-level criminals. Law enforcement wizards can apply to use two portals when tracking wizard criminals at this level. These two portals are free. If you still want to If you want to teleport more times, you have to apply with the Wizards Law Enforcement Department, ranging from 10,000 gold coins to 100,000 gold coins each time, depending on where you want to go.
"If you want to apply for the use of a teleportation gate for non-law enforcement purposes, you can apply to the Ministry of Magic for 100,000 gold coins per person per time, and you must obtain the consent of the magic institution at the destination of the teleportation."
Li Nuo understood:
"In other words, if you accept a bounty mission to track down a witch-level wizard criminal, you can use the portal twice for free, right? What's the price for free?"
"The price is that you have to catch the wizard criminal within a limited time limit, or cooperate with the magic agency to catch him. If the deadline is exceeded and you fail to catch the criminal, then you have to pay a huge sum of money to the wizard for law enforcement Yes. This huge sum of money will be added to the bounty of the wizard criminal and become part of the bounty."
Comini paused:
"Many times, this is how the bounty on the heads of wizard criminals comes. The increase in the total bounty is not because the criminal has committed more crimes and is wanted with the bounty, but because the law enforcement officers who took over the tracking task have not If he could be caught, the law enforcers were forced to add money to the bounty.”
Seeing that Li Nuo was deep in thought and silent, Comini advised:
"You have to think clearly, Jarvis. The total bounty for witch-level criminals usually exceeds 1 million gold coins. The duration of the tracking mission is usually one to three years. After the mission expires, you have to pay at least 100,000 gold coins. And because you failed the mission, you will be deducted 1,000 law enforcer credit points, which is equivalent to the reward for catching 10 bad witches.
"One more thing, don't forget. You can indeed teleport to the Suman Islands by accepting a tracking mission. But that's not necessarily the case for Dinas. If you can't convince Selina, you and Dinas will be sent to the Suman Islands. Nas thinks that as a whole, Dinas cannot teleport away with you. The only way is that you pay a sum of gold coins to buy a teleportation quota and give this quota to Dinasi. The cost is about It’s like 100,000 gold coins. It’s always been this price to teleport to the Suman Islands.”
Li Nuo felt a little dull and took a deep breath:
"Yes, Komini. You're right to remind me. After I accept the bounty mission, I can use the portal to leave, but that's not necessarily the case for Dinath. I can't leave her behind."
While the two were chatting, they had already flown halfway. In about 10 minutes, they will reach the emergency ship.
The magic ship that was transforming into the dragon's body had been left on the dark sea behind them.
Li Nuo looked back at the scene behind him.
The teleported battle wizards were working around the Bustard-class heavy transport ship in the sky. They received instructions from the wizard delegation and were building a physical portal suspended in the air.
The destination of this portal points to a storage sub-plane in the Ministry of Magic. The Bustard-class heavy transport ship will be transported there and become an experiment for the Ministry of Magic to study alien technology.
Once the transport ship is teleported away, the battle wizard will teleport away. At that time, the passengers on the emergency ship will return to the magic ship and head to the port of Balder's Gate.
A rough estimate is that Li Nuo will take Dinas back to the magic ship in about two hours.
If he wanted to avoid the Metal Archosaur on the magic ship, he had to complete the teleportation within these two hours.
A deconstruction technique followed the gaze and landed on the magic ship.
Li Nuo glanced at the feedback information, and his heart tightened slightly.
The magic ship's deconstruction consumption increased to 9.8 million points at some unknown time, and the rate of increase was much faster than before.
Li Nuo wasn't quite sure how high the level of deconstruction consumption would be before the transformation was complete. But this did not prevent him from reaffirming his belief in avoiding the magic ship.
"Let me discuss it with the professor, Comini. Based on your experience, what should I pay attention to after accepting the bounty mission?"
Li Nuo asked as he flew, talking to Comini during the rush time.
Comini was quite friendly and approachable to Li Nuo, and basically told him everything he knew.
Whatever Li Nuo asked, she answered.
She treats Li Nuo like this, on the one hand, it is an affirmation of Li Nuo's own strength, identity and potential, and on the other hand, it is also because there is nothing annoying about Li Nuo.
Li Nuo is neither proud nor complacent because of the power of his extraordinary characteristics, nor will he make excessive demands based on his status as the only silent wizard. Not to mention how smart, down-to-earth and easy-going he is.
Komini had no objection at all to supporting such a junior wizard and was very happy.
She talked about what she knew, and specifically emphasized a few places where it was easy to fall into pitfalls.
When the topic ended, she took out a law enforcement notebook she had written in her early years from her magic pocket and gave it to Li Nuo for reference.
After Li Nuo landed on the emergency ship, he held the law enforcement notes given by Comini and solemnly thanked him. His actions made Comini even more satisfied with him.
The two parted ways on the upper deck for a while. Comini went to the wheelhouse to report the situation to Paredes, the captain of the law enforcement team, while Li Nuo returned to the room on the middle deck to meet with Dinas.
After briefly telling Dinas his plan, Li Nuo entered the Court of Silence on the chair in the room.
His consciousness rose and he entered the planet filled with indigo mist. Li Nuo arrived at the small classroom.
Stepping into the corridor and knocking on the door of the professor's study, Li Nuo stepped in and asked Professor Erica, who was looking at him, to use the portal.
When Li Nuo made the request, he did not mention the results of his deconstruction of the magic ship.
He only said that he saw Selina, the deputy director of the Deep Sea Branch, in the law enforcement team, and wanted to ask if he could follow Selina to the Suman Islands, which would save a lot of time.
His reason was reasonable and without any contradiction, and he spoke calmly and with expectation, without revealing his inner worries about the Metal Archosaur.
Professor Erica naturally didn't notice anything strange.
"You heard from Comini that you can use the portal by accepting bounty missions, right? Jarvis?" Erica asked.
"Yes, Professor." Li Nuo admitted frankly:
"She also gave me a lot of advice and introduced things related to law enforcement credits and bounty tasks."
"Well, it seems I don't have to repeat it." Erica thought for a moment and asked the magic servant to bring two baskets of scrolls.
She used her "Wizard's Hand" to rummage through the pile of scrolls and took out a dozen scrolls and put them on the table:
"These are the witch-level wanted posters related to the Suman Islands. Let me choose a suitable one for you."
"Thank you, Professor." Li Nuo raised a smile, thanked Professor Erica, and then entered a quiet state, not disturbing the other party's selection of wanted posters.
Erica used "Wizard's Hand" to spread a dozen wanted notices in the air and read the contents on them carefully.
Li Nuo waited quietly on the sidelines, recalling the common sense of law enforcement he had gained from Comini.
On the surface, he is just a Silent Wizard. Can he receive a wanted order for a witch-level criminal?
The answer is yes.
Not only the Sin Witch level, but also the Disaster Witch level and Witch Exterminator level wanted orders, he can also receive them.
This is related to the law enforcer credit system established by the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department.
Li Nuo had just become the Silent Law Enforcer not long ago, and he had no credibility as a law enforcer. This situation is equivalent to a LOL account that has not yet played the qualifying competition. Different from LOL, which requires 10 rounds to be played in the qualifying round, only one round is played in the "Qualifying Round" of the Law Enforcer.
He received the Sin Witch level wanted order, which was equivalent to directly matching a gold-level opponent in the only "ranking match".
If you win, everyone will be happy. The law enforcer's credit record will have a new law enforcement record of successfully arresting witch-level criminals, and you will receive a 1,000 credit point reward. From then on, Li Nuo was free to receive wanted orders of any level.
If he loses this "rating match", then 1,000 credit points will be deducted from him, and the balance of credit points will be -1,000 points, and he will only be able to receive Bad Witch level wanted orders.
He must complete 10 Bad Witch-level wanted orders, obtain 1,000 credit points, and return the balance to normal before he can freely receive any level of wanted orders again.
This is how the law enforcement wizard credit system works. It not only prevents the random receipt of wanted orders, but also does not restrict law enforcement wizards from exerting their law enforcement potential.
After all, when it comes to hunting down criminals, the hard power of frontal combat is only one of the influencing factors. More often, the law enforcers need to rely on their own soft power such as strategy, patience, layout, and connections. These soft powers cannot be measured by ring level.
Simply relying on ring level to frame the level of wanted orders that law enforcement wizards can receive will only stifle the subjective initiative of law enforcement wizards.
This credit system for law enforcement officers has existed for hundreds of years, and the vast majority of voices support it, which is enough to prove its effectiveness.
After about 5 minutes, Erica picked out a wanted notice, placed it in front of Li Nuo, and motioned for him to read the contents.
Li Nuo quickly glanced at the text on the wanted notice and used deconstruction to put it into his mind.
【Name】Wanted Order for Wizard Criminal Moscat
【Level】Sin Witch Level
[Total bounty] 2.6 million gold coins
This bounty amount is as of the date this wanted order is issued. For the latest bounty amounts, please contact Wizard Law Enforcement.
【Crime Brief】
Moscat is a sorcerer criminal who has mastered the magic of the deep sea, a seven-ring battle wizard. He is serving in the pirate force "Dreadsail Pirate Nation" and is a Dreadsail wizard trained by the pirate nation.
[Period of wanted warrant] Two years from the date of receipt
【Wanted Description】
The law enforcement wizard who receives this wanted order must regularly report progress to the Hotams Deep Sea Branch. The period of the wanted order can be extended with the consent of the Shenzhen Branch.
Please pay special attention to the following matters:
Capture Moscat alive to receive the full reward.
Bring Moscat's soul to receive one-half of the bounty.
Only bringing Moscat's intact body will only receive one-tenth of the reward. Because Moscat has mastered resurrection spells like "soul-body separation" and "soul resurrection". Killing his body does not mean destroying his soul.
The bounty will be fairly distributed by the Deep Sea Branch based on the contribution of the law enforcement wizards.
Law enforcement wizards who receive this wanted order can learn more about Moscat from the Deep Sea Branch.
[Overdue penalty] A fine of 260,000 gold coins will be deducted from 1,000 law enforcement credits.
Li Nuo looked at the other wanted posters on the table.
Except for the wizard criminal named Moscat who is a seventh-level combat wizard, all other criminal wizards who appear in the Suman Islands have eighth-level combat abilities.
Moscat is the weakest and has the lowest total bounty.
But, considering his power background, chasing him would be equivalent to facing other deep-sea combat wizards from the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom.
If Li Nuo cannot have the strength to sweep across the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom within two years, he will have to prepare a fine in advance.
In fact, Erica thought so too.
After she briefly introduced Moscat to Li Nuo, she began to persuade Li Nuo to follow the magic ship to Balder's Gate to transfer. In her opinion, it was not cost-effective to pay a fine of 260,000 gold coins and deduct 1,000 law enforcement credits just to save a few months.
Li Nuo thanked Professor Yu Jie from the bottom of his heart for thinking about him.
After carefully weighing his situation, Li Nuo insisted on accepting the wanted order.
He had his own reasons and confidence, but it was difficult to express these things to Erica. Therefore, the persistence he showed seemed to Erica to be the stubbornness and blind confidence of a newborn calf.
Forget it, let this wanted order teach Li Nuo a lesson. Erica thought in her heart, sighed softly and said:
"Okay, Jarvis. I will help you write a letter to Selina and arrange for the two of you to meet. Selina will also give this wanted notice to you. As for taking Dinas with you? Teleporting to the Suman Islands depends on your ability. If you can convince Selina to treat you and Dinasi as a whole, that would be great. Otherwise, you have to pay 100,000 gold coins Purchase the teleportation quota for Dinas."
Li Nuo faced the earnest female professor and smiled calmly:
"Okay, Professor. Thank you very much. Just wait for my good news. I'll leave first."
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Erica read a hint of confidence in Li Nuo’s smile, or maybe the other person hadn’t realized that he was about to hit the “south wall.”
Considering Li Nuo's age, experience, strength and experience, he shouldn't be so calm. But judging from his always cautious and rational way of doing things, there seems to be an inherent reason for his calmness.
Erica was confused for a moment.
"Go, Jarvis. I'll write a letter right away." Erica waved her hand in farewell and controlled the magic pen to write words.
Li Nuo bowed slightly and disappeared in the envelope of indigo mist.
