Emergency ship, in the room on the mid-deck.
Li Nuo's consciousness returned to his body and told Dinas about his conversation with the professor.
"That's it, Dinas. I will meet with Ms. Selina later. You can come with me. The worst case scenario is that we pay 100,000 gold coins to buy you a teleportation spot. I will not abandon you here." Li Nuo said.
Dinas nodded slowly, with many questions in her mind:
"Yeah, yeah, I listen to you. But I always feel like you are a little anxious. What happened?"
Dinas and Li Nuo spent the longest time together.
Even if Li Nuo maintains peace on the surface, the uneasiness hidden deep in his heart will still show up in some small details and be noticed by Dinas.
Dinasi herself couldn't tell where she felt the uneasiness in Li Nuo's heart.
Maybe it's the wonderful feeling of being a companion witch.
Li Nuo thought for a moment, activated "Soul Sensing", and said in his heart:
"I think something is wrong, Dinath. That star fleet is too weak. If I were the commander of the Deep Space United Mining, then I would definitely send more star ships to plunder the magic ship. We saw That star fleet, their strength is completely unequal to the risks they take. This is very strange. I doubt they are here to plunder magic ships. But I can’t tell what their real purpose is.”
"Oh." Dinas shook her head as if she didn't understand.
She turned her back, rummaged through her underwear, and took out a magic pocket with body temperature.
"This is my separate pocket for gold coins. All our money is in it."
Dinasi's cheeks were slightly red, and she stuffed the warm and fragrant magic bag into Li Nuo's hand:
"Here, take it first. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold it in front of others later."
Li Nuo lowered his head and looked at the heavy magic bag.
Although he earned most of the gold coins here, he should have absolute control. But Dinas' unconditional trust in him still made Li Nuo very happy.
Li Nuo put the magic pocket close to his body, took the other person's hand and rubbed it, saying nothing.
Dinas's cheeks turned redder.
"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door, and a deep sea wizard came to visit.
Li Nuo stood up, opened the door, communicated with the deep sea wizard outside the door, and then took Dinas and the other party into the corridor.
The deep sea wizard led the way, leading Li Nuo to the cabin where Selina was.
Halfway through, Li Nuo looked through the porthole at the magic ship above the sea and threw a deconstruction spell.
【system information:】
[It is expected to consume 18.34 million energy points, which can increase the completion of deconstruction to 100%]
18.34 million points?
Hiss, Erica and I communicated for less than 10 minutes, and the deconstruction consumption increased by at least 5 million points? The Metal Archosaurus is making hairs...
Li Nuo frowned slightly, spent a certain amount of energy, and activated Harmless Deconstruction.
"System, system, I want to know to what extent the Metal Ancestor Dragon has transformed the magic ship. You'd better update an entry like 'Transformation Progress Bar'"
After the weak sense of trance passed, the Deconstructed Core System, which always responded to requests, sent a message:
[Harmless deconstruction successful! 】
[The target's panel information has been updated, adding content related to "Metal Melting":]
[State name] Forced fusion
[Type] Metal Dragon Magic Effect
[Status source] Metal Archaic Dragon Tarsali
[Strong Financing Progress] 12%
It is estimated that in 11 hours and 11 minutes, Talsali's will and blood power will be forcibly merged with the magic ship.
It will take more than 11 hours for Talsali to complete the integration with the magic ship.
By that time, there will only be magic ships and passengers left on the vast black folded sea, and there will no longer be law enforcement wizards and combat wizards.
In this case, as a passenger, if Li Nuo had a conflict with Talsali, he would most likely be at a disadvantage and could only rely on Maeve Le and Kalandi for help.
Hey, wait a minute.
Li Nuo was stunned for a moment.
After he and Dinas left, what would happen to Maeve Le and Kalandi?
No matter what Tarsali does after forcibly merging the magic ship, members of the Elemental Trial such as Maeve Le, Filia, and Betty, as well as the female boss of "Green Herb Ointment" Qalandi will all be in danger.
Li Nuo had just established a good cooperative relationship with these witches, and he didn't want to let all his previous efforts go to waste.
Especially Muffler.
There is a soul contract between this wealthy witch and Li Nuo. The Unbreakable Metal Ancestral Dragon has little-known extraordinary abilities in terms of soul contracts. If it could see clues from the contract and become interested in a small human like Li Nuo, it would be in trouble.
Li Nuo decided to help Maeve Le, Kalandi and others.
If the other party and others were really unwilling to avoid the magic ship, then Li Nuo could only silently wish them a safe journey. By the way, he will also terminate the soul contract with Maeve Le to avoid future troubles.
Li Nuo nodded secretly and waited until he and Dinas teleported away, then went to talk to Mevle and the others.
"You two, we are here." The deep sea wizard who led the way stopped, opened the door to the side, held his arm, and invited Li Nuo and Li Nuo to enter the room.
After Li Nuo and Dinas entered the room, the deep sea wizard closed the door and stood guard outside the door.
Selina, as the summoner of this emergency ship, built a temporary study room for herself on the ship to handle official business.
When Li Nuo and Dinas came in, Selina was just writing tonight's law enforcement action report.
The image of this nine-ringed deep sea witch is rather unique.
Her magic robe is made of water, covering her graceful figure like an aqua blue silk robe. As she performs official duties, delicate lines like ripples and waves will appear on the surface of the robe.
The Suman Islands are located near the equator of the planet below, where the weather is hot and the sun is abundant.
Such a strong lighting environment did not leave any traces on Selena's body. Her skin is as white as snow, smooth and delicate, and when paired with the aqua blue liquid magic robe, she looks even more dignified and noble.
"Leno Jarvis, Dinas." Selena waved her hand and pressed the pause button on the magic pen that was writing:
"Erica introduced you to me. I'll make a long story short. I suggest you give up the arrest warrant for Moscat. Because the stronghold of the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom is not an island, it is not on the sea. If you want to catch Moscat, you You must first master the magic of the deep sea. Only in this way can you dive into the bottom of the sea and discover the traces of the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom in the lightless area where the sun cannot shine."
Selina stared at Li Nuo with her light blue eyes, and said gently and unquestionably:
"Don't waste time, credits and gold coins on this wanted order. Giving up on it is a wise choice. Of course, if you insist on taking it, I won't stop you, but you have to buy another teleportation quota. You are lucky tonight and can follow more than a dozen deep sea wizards back to the Suman Islands. This means that the cost of opening the teleportation gate will be shared. You only need to pay 80,000 gold coins to purchase the teleportation quota. I am here just right There are two of them. The price is 160,000 gold coins, and I will take you to the Suman Islands."
Hmm. Li Nuo thought about it.
Selena's willingness to discount the transmission fee may not only be the reason why the transmission cost is shared. Erica probably mentioned it in the letter, so Selina took the initiative to offer a discount.
Li Nuo didn't think he would have such influence that he would let a Nine Ring Witch personally issue "coupons".
Sure enough, Selena's next words confirmed Li Nuo's guess.
Seeing Li Nuo thinking silently, Selina thought that he was still obsessed with the wanted order, so she said:
"I have a good relationship with Erica, so I will remind you. After the disc ship is teleported away, I will send the passengers on the emergency ship back to the magic ship, and then open the portal and take the deep sea wizard away. You guys Think about it carefully.”
Dinas gently shook her arm holding Li Nuo. She activated "soul induction" and persuaded Li Nuo to accept Selena's proposal.
However, once the proposal is accepted, their plan to buy the island will be shelved.
160,000 gold coins will suddenly reduce the funds for buying the island by more than half, which really makes Li Nuo feel sad.
Fortunately, Li Nuo had a way to save the money, which convinced Selina and took the initiative to waive Dinas's ticket fee.
This is related to a piece of knowledge that Li Nuo learned in "The Foundation of Magic".
Li Nuo met Selena's gaze and said:
"Madam, I have the extraordinary characteristic of "knowing all things". "
Dinasi looked at Li Nuo doubtfully and blinked.
Selina was also obviously stunned for a moment. She raised her eyebrows slightly and expressed her surprise in questions:
"Are you sure? Why didn't Erica tell me this? Didn't she say that your extraordinary characteristic is "magic knowledge"? "
Li Nuo spread his hands:
"After I finished studying "The Foundation of Magic" by myself, I repeatedly tested the knowledge in the book several times in private, and confirmed that I possess the two extraordinary characteristics of "knowledge of magic" and "knowledge of all things". "
"Magic proficiency" refers to the ability to learn any magical tome very easily.
"Knowledge of all things" means being able to easily understand the principles, structures, operations, etc. of all things.
These two extraordinary characteristics belong to the Star Continent level extraordinary characteristics.
It's difficult to compare the pros and cons of the two because they have different uses.
In the language of gamification:
"Magic Mastery" only takes effect on magic books, which is equivalent to greatly reducing the learning conditions for all magic.
"Everything Knows" can obtain part of the panel information of items.
Of course, the wizards in this world don't know about "panel information".
A person with "knowledge of all things" can't just look at an item and picture the panel information in his mind.
They can just follow the guidance of their intuition when they see a strange object for the first time and write down the object's purpose, structure, principle and other information.
The information will not be as exaggerated as the deconstructive results.
At least, exaggerated information such as how old the author of a certain handwritten text is, what his appearance is, etc., is absolutely impossible to obtain through "knowledge of all things", only deconstruction can do it.
To some extent, deconstructing the core system is very similar to "knowing everything".
The difference between the two is that deconstructing the core system requires Li Nuo to consume energy, while "knowing everything" is an instinctive reaction with no additional consumption.
As long as Li Nuo always has enough energy in his hand, he is equivalent to having "knowledge of all things".
As for what the use of "all-knowing" is.
Hehe, that would be of great use.
Wizards have various magical means of detecting crime scenes and can easily find clues. But don't forget that wizard criminals who are also wizards will have magical means to counter detection, and even lay insidious traps specifically for detecting magic.
At this time, "knowledge of all things" that has nothing to do with magic comes in handy.
Since there are no energy fluctuations when activated, and no spellcasting characteristics, "Everything Knows" can find clues without even knowing it. This is far more convenient, safer and more secure than using detection magic.
According to statistics, in the ranking of law enforcement wizards' credit points, each of the top 10 law enforcement wizards has "knowledge of all things". They are also members of the "Guild of Loremasters", a magical association that invented the well-known universal spell-like "Identification".
It can be said that wizards with "all-knowing knowledge" are basically locked in the top 100 rankings of law enforcement wizards. The premise is that he doesn't die suddenly. This ranking only allows living law enforcement wizards to be on the list.
When Selina heard that Li Nuo claimed to have "knowledge of all things", her first reaction was surprise, followed by scrutiny and caution.
She would not believe that the other party really knew everything based on Li Nuo's few words.
Selina reached into the magic pocket made of liquid at her waist, took out a palm-sized metal box and placed it on the table.
"Open this box and tell me what's inside and what it's used for."
Dinasi let go of Li Nuo's arm.
Li Nuo took a few steps forward, came to Selina's table, and opened the metal box on the table.
A small black conch appears in the box. Its surface was pitted and stained with dark green stains and brown mud stains. When the magic lamp in the house shines, a gleam of water is reflected on the surface of the conch, as if it had just been fished out of the water.
Selina crossed her arms and said slowly:
"Currently on this ship, I am the only one who knows the origin of this thing. Don't try to fool me with the content you made up on the spot."
"Then I think there is one more person who knows its origin now, and that is me." Li Nuo pointed to the black conch in the box and said:
"This is the underwater communication conch of the Dreadsail Pirate Nation. Due to the high density of sea water, sound can travel hundreds of kilometers in the sea. The Dreadsail Pirate Nation relies on it for long-distance communication. It has a fatal flaw. , that is, the sound it makes will be interfered by other sounds in the seawater. Even the sound of fish stirring up the seawater can distort its sound."
Selina was unmoved by this reply and said calmly:
"Oh, anyone who has a little knowledge of the deep sea can say the same thing as you. If you want me to believe that you have "knowledge of all things", this little information alone is not enough. "
"Let me borrow your pen and paper, madam." Li Nuo looked at the ink pen on the pen holder.
"Yeah." Selena hummed and agreed to Li Nuo's request.
Li Nuo cast the "Wizard's Hand", controlled the ink pen to quickly write text on the blank paper, and drew several simple drawings.
The text introduces how to make the black conch produce sound, which requires the user to blow correctly and press the pores on the surface of the conch according to specific fingering methods.
The simple drawing drawn by Li Nuo is the fingering diagram of blowing the conch.
Different scales and tones correspond to different fingering methods and blowing volumes.
Li Nuo scribbled down the contents of three pieces of paper and introduced at the same time:
"This black conch can make a total of 36 different sounds. I have listed the fingering and blowing volume to make these sounds, madam. I think this is enough to prove that I have "all-knowing". "
Li Nuo put down his ink pen and made a "please check" gesture towards the manuscript on the table.
Selena was slightly lost in thought while looking at the manuscript on the table, and did not respond immediately.
The method of detecting extraordinary characteristics is like this. It must be through continuous experiments to determine which extraordinary characteristics a person possesses. This is a testing method based on phenomenology and experience.
In this world, there is no inspection method where the corresponding color of the lamp will appear as soon as you put your hand on it. Otherwise, the star wizards on the star filter would have already known clearly the extraordinary characteristics of every starry sky pollution that falls towards the filter.
Selina picked up the black conch, summoned the magic servant in the house, and controlled the servant to blow the conch.
36 sounds are perfectly presented.
Selena was somewhat convinced, but still not completely sure.
Because there is an extraordinary characteristic called "Media Comprehension", which allows the holder to see how to use unfamiliar instruments at a glance.
Li Nuo might just have this extraordinary characteristic.
In order to further test Li Nuo's authenticity, Selina took out another metal box.
"There is another thing in this box. It may be related to the secret stronghold of the Dreadsail Pirate Nation. We have been looking for the secret base of the Dreadsail Pirate Nation, but there has been no result. The contents of the box are the only clue."
Selina opened the box.
A strong smell of sea water came to my face and filled the study room.
Inside the box was half a piece of greasy seaweed. It was completely black and covered with raised lines like earthworms. It looked very unappetizing.
"Can you tell me, what is this seaweed? What is its growth environment?" Selina asked.
Li Nuo did not answer in a hurry, but shook his head slightly and said:
"Madam, according to the market conditions of the "Eruditional Scholars Association", it would probably cost tens of thousands of gold coins to ask them to identify such a seaweed sample and obtain information about the secret base of the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom. I just told you the answer, wouldn't it be a big loss? "
Selena raised her eyebrows, took out the wanted poster and put it on the table:
"I understand what you mean. I was negligent. So be it. After you tell me the answer, I will immediately notify the Deep Sea Branch to send someone to verify your answer.
"If your answer is wrong or even nonsense, then don't blame me for using the law and the legal authority granted to me by the college.
"But if your answer is correct, then I will invite you to join the law enforcement work of hunting down the entire Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom. Your companion witch can also teleport to the Suman Islands for free. I will pay you an additional 30,000 gold coins as your Funds for the operation to investigate the whereabouts of the Dreadsail Pirate Nation.
"Not only that, I will also issue you an order to assist in the defense of law enforcement wizards within the Suman Islands. With this order, you can receive a defense subsidy of 3,000 gold coins from the Deep Sea Branch every month.
"From now on, you only need to do two things. First, report the progress of the investigation regularly, and second, help the Deep Sea Branch identify items related to the Dread Sailor Pirate Kingdom. The identification fees will be calculated separately.
"You don't have to worry about me breaking my promise. I will use a contract to clarify the responsibilities and rights of both of us."
When Selina spoke, the magic pen beside her shook rapidly and she wrote a magic contract.
Selina was the first to sign the magic contract.
The contract flew to Li Nuo.
After checking it over, he also wrote his name.
The contract was split into two, turned into two white lights, and threw into the bodies of Li Nuo and Selina.
Seeing that Selina was so cheerful, Li Nuo quickly manipulated the ink pen and wrote down the origin and growth environment of the seaweed.
"This seaweed is called drowning grass. It grows about 3,000 meters underwater."
Li Nuo compared the decomposition results in his mind and wrote down everything he could on paper.
These contents only include the name of seaweed, its growth environment, and its simple uses. There is no mention of the fact that "seaweed will only appear on the underwater island called Shenyue Island."
Li Nuo pushed the written manuscript in front of Selina.
Selina summons her magical messenger. It was a pure white seashell. Haibei held the manuscript written by Li Nuo in his mouth and sent it to the Deep Sea Branch.
Selena said:
"We will know the answer within an hour at most."
"Let us wait for the good news, madam." Li Nuo smiled calmly.
With the skill of deconstruction at his disposal, Li Nuo was sure of everything and didn't have to worry about anything going wrong, otherwise he would write the character "Li" upside down.
