"Your grandmother has replied, miss." Keda tore open the envelope, glanced at the words on the letter, and his eyes flashed.
"Keda. What did my grandmother say in the letter?" Qian walked towards the housekeeper holding the wand, wanting to read the contents of the letter.
Keda handed over the letter in his hand:
"Your grandmother said the buyer named Jarvis was not her helper."
"Oh, that's it..." Xi'an took the letter and read it.
The standard magic pen handwriting font, the simple word "no", her grandmother's attitude towards her was as cold as ever.
"Then do we still want to invite the buyer to the island?" Qian'an handed the letter back and asked at the same time.
Keda folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and stuffed it into the magic pocket. He stared at the ground and thought for a few seconds, then took a slight breath and said:
"Miss, please let me investigate the background of the buyer first. If the buyer has contact with your brothers, then we may have to suspend the sale of the island."
"Why are we suspending the sale of islands?" Qian'an looked confused, vaguely feeling that this matter was more complicated than learning magic.
"This is just my speculation at the moment, miss. When everything comes to light, I will explain it to you immediately."
Keda stretched out his arm and pointed at the spell target:
"Please continue your training, Miss. Your wand lessons this morning are not over yet."
"Oh, okay." Xi'an scratched her head and stood back in confusion.
It is not difficult for a housekeeper like Keda to investigate the true background and origin of a buyer, and it will not violate the law.
As an intermediary for trading islands, the island exchange must record the identity information of buyers and sellers.
The transaction contract brought by salesperson Nellie will state the buyer's real name, power and identity. The seller's information will also be written on the transaction deed, and Keda filled in "Pangula Family".
On the contract for the purchase and sale of Snow Mountain Island No. 1 and other islands, the words "Buyer's name: Lenno Jarvis" and "Buyer's identity: First Ring Wizard, Assisting Defense Law Enforcement Wizard" are clearly written.
The only special thing is the "Buyer Power" column. In this column, this sentence appeared:
"According to the Unas Ring Decree No. 2, wizard law enforcers do not need to fill in power information when filling in personal information."
If Al Qaeda wanted to find out which wizarding force this buyer came from, he would have to ask the Deep Sea Branch that issued the "Law Enforcement Wizards Assistance and Defense Appointment Order" to the buyer.
A letter was sent by an owl messenger, and Keda received a reply from the Deep Sea Branch after lunch.
The reply did not directly answer Al Qaeda's question, but it gave clues.
The letter reads:
In accordance with Article 42, Article 112 of "Edict No. 6 of the Ring of Unas", we cannot disclose to you the wizarding power of "Leno Jarvis".
"Decree No. 6" is related to the Wizarding Forest and the Wizarding Advancement Association.
Keda dug out the decree and looked it up.
Item 42 is related to "Silent Girl". It said that the members of "Silent Girls" are all wizard law enforcers and do not need to reveal to anyone the wizard force they belong to.
The answer emerged. The wizard named "Leno Jarvis" was a member of the "Silent Maiden".
Members of "Silent Girls"...
If I remember correctly, all the members of "Silent Girls" are witches, right? !
So "Leno Jarvis" is a witch with a male name! ?
Keda's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had foreseen something incredible.
This is so ridiculous...
Keda was a little confused.
In order to find out the truth, Keda sent several letters to the Island Affairs Department, the Island Exchange, the Deep Sea Branch, and the professors of "Silent Girl" for verification.
The professor of "Silent Girl" did not reply for a long time.
However, the Island Affairs Department, the Island Exchange and the Deep Sea Branch responded the fastest, saying that "Leno Jarvis" was a wizard, not a witch, but indeed a member of the "Silent Maidens".
Keda took the letters and fell into deep thought, and finally found Xi'an who had just woken up from her nap with these letters.
"Miss, I think we need to invite this buyer to come as a guest." Keda handed the letter to Qian'an.
Xi'an yawned and walked out of her bedroom, and met the housekeeper who had been busy all afternoon.
She took the letter and read it, and let out several bizarre exclamations in succession. She was obviously surprised that a wizard joined the wizarding force composed of witches.
"Then invite him, Keda." Xi'an raised her head and scanned the mottled roof and walls:
"But our place is too shabby. If we invite him over like this, it will be a bit pricey."
"Don't worry, miss. I will make the arrangements. I have kept part of the money I received recently and have not handed it all over to the family. I will use this money to decorate the necessary rooms and corridors. Not only to welcome Our first guest is also a preparation for welcoming other guests in the future,” Keda said.
"Okay~ I'll leave it to you then." Qian'an took steps towards the end of the corridor.
"Miss, you are on the wrong path. That is the way to the back garden. Your afternoon wand lesson has not been completed yet, please go this way." Keda corrected her in time.
"Oh" Qian'an turned stiffly in half a circle and walked towards the corridor at the other end, "Don't you want to decorate..."
"I will decorate it at night and use a noise-isolating magic circle to isolate you from the noise. It will not affect your spell classes and sleep." Keda followed Qian'an half a step behind.
Xi'an reluctantly curled her lips and walked into the spell training room while being watched by Keda.
…
…
"Meow~"
Li Nuo was practicing bodybuilding exercises at a depth of about two meters. The meow representing the magic messenger receiving the letter sounded in his mind.
Li Nuo's body-building exercise is not over yet.
He ignored the letter and let Snowwing Cat keep it for now. It was probably sent by Kalandi or Murst.
Practicing bodybuilding exercises underwater was a bold attempt made by Li Nuo on a whim.
With the help of "Underwater Breathing Agent", he adapted to the water pressure and corrosiveness of seawater at a depth of 2 meters.
"Water Shield" has excellent performance in resisting seawater corrosion.
After putting on the "Water Shield", the negative effects of deep sea water are offset by the shield value.
Negative effects of different levels will deduct the shield value divided by 10 points. The deduction period is equivalent to the time point when the judgment is triggered.
For example, in this No. 3 sea area. Every 35 minutes, Li Nuo's "Water Shield" will deduct 10 shield points due to negative effects.
After determining that the corrosiveness of seawater could be blocked by the shield, Li Nuo began to study the impact of water pressure on himself.
He discovered that the shield was unable to withstand water pressure.
Under the action of water pressure, the water film adheres closely to Li Nuo's skin, and the water pressure is transmitted to Li Nuo's body through the contact between the water film and the skin. This is equivalent to him bearing all the water pressure.
Can you use "Magic Control Mastery" to transform the shield from a water film into an eggshell-like appearance, and then push the sea water away from you?
Li Nuo tried it and found that it was possible, but it was very, very difficult.
Almost at the moment when the water film was about to leave the body surface, the shield value immediately dropped by more than 80 points.
Li Nuo quickly terminated his attempt.
He soon understood why.
In an underwater environment, using a shield to push seawater away from one's side is equivalent to creating a vacuum environment around the body.
The pressure difference between the vacuum environment and the pressure of sea water is staggering.
So, don’t think about using a “magic shield” to push the sea water away from you, just accept the water pressure with your body.
Or, you can only look for opportunities to learn deep sea magic and master the deep sea magic to move freely underwater.
After Li Nuo figured this out, he began to use the pressure of sea water to practice exercises.
It is difficult and sticky, and every movement of your hands and feet is subjected to huge resistance, and the exercise movements will inevitably be deformed.
Just one minute after receiving the letter, Li Nuo reluctantly completed a set of exercises.
The system sent a message saying that the action completion rate was only a pitiful 3%, and almost no experience was gained.
Li Nuo had previously thought that practicing exercise exercises underwater would have special bonuses, but now it seems that he lied to himself.
However, it cannot be said with absolute certainty.
"When my "tenacity" and "strength" improve a little more, I'll try again. Maybe when I increase the completion of my movements by 60% and above the passing line underwater, there will really be special effects. "
Li Nuo thought in his heart, stirred the sea water, and floated to the surface.
He used "Death Flight" to fly out of the sea and landed on the beach of Snow Mountain Island No. 1.
Summoning the Snowwing cat, getting the letter, and rewarding the other party with small snacks, Li Nuo watched his cat leave.
He glanced at the words on the envelope, raised his eyebrows, and unexpectedly discovered that it was from the professor.
After tearing open the envelope and taking a look, Li Nuo smiled awkwardly.
A man who claimed to be the heir butler of the Pangola family asked Professor Erica about the gender of Li Nuo...
Professor Erica specifically sent a letter asking if she wanted to reply to the other party.
Erica did not ask in the letter about the relationship between Li Nuo and the other party, or how they knew each other.
Li Nuo guessed that this self-proclaimed butler should be related to the island he recently purchased.
Because among the things Li Nuo has done recently, only this one is related to the Pangola family.
Li Nuo took out a pen and paper and wrote a reply while thinking, explaining the situation to Erica and asking the other party to truthfully tell the housekeeper his true gender.
After completing this step, Li Nuo faced the sea and his thoughts surged.
He finally attracted the attention of the Pangola family.
This was within his expectation.
He purchased a total of five islands, each of which had its resources explored.
In the eyes of the Pangola family, these five islands are empty shells. Except for the rocks, soil and forests, everything else is worthless.
But it happened to be just such an island, and Li Nuo bought five of them in one go.
No matter how much the Pangola family looks down on these islands where resources have been collected, they will still feel that things are a little weird.
This is the kind of attention Li Nuo hopes to attract.
According to Li Nuo's speculation, the man who calls himself the butler should be investigating Li Nuo's true origin.
There is a high probability that the other party will invite him to meet and further explore the truth. The reasons for this are very complicated, involving intrigues within a large family, multiple friends forming good relationships through multiple paths, etc.
Li Nuo still didn't know who was paying attention to him, so he had to imagine all the situations and formulate countermeasures in advance.
If he can reach a friendly cooperative relationship with the other party during the first meeting, then the island he bought will be able to be realized faster and turned into real profits.
Compared with the Farm-type operation of quickly completing bounty tasks, the operation of establishing friendly relations with powerful wizard forces is an attack-type operation.
Once the latter succeeds, Li Nuo will bring about qualitative changes in human resources. This change can save a lot of trouble and speed up the accumulation of original capital.
Li Nuo still valued his first meeting with the Pangola family.
"Just let me wait for the invitation letter from the other party to come to my door. I hope that the members of the Pangola family who meet me will not be too strong and their status within the family will not be too high, otherwise I may have some headaches in dealing with it..."
Li Nuo shook his head slightly, calmed his mind, and flew towards the magic ocean current.
He called up the decomposition results of the six wanted notices in his mind and quickly read the contents on the wanted notices.
The moment he returned to the inner circle of the archipelago through the magic ocean current, he had already selected his first wanted target.
"Lituart, a bad witch-level criminal, a three-ring deep-sea combat wizard, with a bounty of 130,000 gold coins. His deep-sea magic comes from the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom. He was involved in two disappearances of fishing boats and the poisoning of three seaside ecological farms. The case is related, and the crime is punishable by death, but it has the value of torture, and it may be possible to pry out information about the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom. If you capture him alive, you can get 100% of the reward. If you turn in the body, you can only get 20% of the reward.
"Then should I capture him alive, or hand over his body?
"Well... I'd better choose to hand over the body. Although the bounty I get will be smaller, it can save a lot of trouble. After all, I will use psychic magic in the process of catching criminals. If people know that I can do psychic magic, If the wizard criminal survives, I will be in big trouble."
Li Nuo closed the deconstruction results of the other five wanted notices in his mind, and only retained Lituart's wanted notice.
After he reaches the inner circle, he takes a magic taxi to the edge of the inner circle and then casts a flying spell to enter the islands in the outer circle.
After entering the outer circle, Li Nuo followed the information provided on the wanted order and hovered near an island controlled by the Ocean Fisheries Company.
According to intelligence, a wanted criminal named Lituart appeared on this island four days ago.
At that time, he was trying to poison the fishery, and was soon discovered by the wizard on duty.
After injuring the wizard on duty, he cast a deep-sea spell, escaped into the sea, and disappeared without a trace.
It is quite difficult to track down such a wanted criminal who has been on the run for four days. No one knows where he has gone or where his next crime will be.
But this is for ordinary law enforcement wizards.
Li Nuo first pretended to check the crime scene to show that he had been there.
He then returned to the island affairs department and retrieved the poison bottle found at the crime scene.
The Island Affairs Department will conduct a preliminary appraisal of the items involved, record the appraisal results, and prepare an appraisal report.
Li Nuo briefly glanced at the contents of the report. It was mentioned that the style and craftsmanship of the poison bottle were the style of Cahir Continent.
The writer of the report suspected that Lituart bought the poison from an ocean-going cargo merchant on the Cahill continent, and suggested that law enforcers start their investigation from the ocean-going cargo merchant.
Li Nuo was not satisfied with the identification results in the report.
He aimed at the poison bottle sealed in a transparent glass container, threw the deconstruction spell, and spent 10 energy points to obtain the deconstruction result of the poison bottle.
The system feedback message shows:
This poison bottle was made by a magic glass workshop on an island outside the Suman Islands. This is completely different from the speculation in the appraisal report.
If you investigate according to the contents of the appraisal report, if you can find Lituart, it's a ghost.
Li Nuo was too lazy to waste time.
He flew directly over the magic glass workshop and used deconstruction to obtain everyone's "identity" column.
By coincidence, Lituart, disguised as a workshop worker, was among them, sitting and relaxing under the awning with a group of workers.
Li Nuo fell from the sky and landed in front of a group of workers. He pointed his finger at Lituart and threw out the "mind control" that he had already obtained but was rarely used on humans.
The integrity of this spell is very low, only 10%. It is almost impossible to control the target, and it cannot be cast repeatedly on the same target in a short period of time.
However, it can put the target into a "trance" state.
Before Lituart could figure out the situation, he felt a sudden wave of dizziness and his body froze on the bench involuntarily.
Li Nuo said in a deep voice:
"Assist the Law Enforcement Wizard in handling the case. Except for the person I am referring to, everyone else should leave the scene immediately."
The workers scattered and hid under the eaves more than ten meters away. Only Lituart, disguised as a worker, stayed in place.
Until all the innocent workers left, Lituart, who was hit by "mind control", could not recover from his stupor.
Facing the stupid enemy, Li Nuo clicked his fingers like lightning and fired a black beam of light, piercing the opponent's forehead and heart.
Lituart did not maintain a magic shield in order to make the disguise more realistic.
The ray shot by Li Nuo fell on him and immediately penetrated his body, leaving two round holes.
Lituart, who had three-ring combat prowess, was killed on the spot, unable to use even the most basic means of counterattack, justification, and self-protection.
It's not his fault.
The only thing to blame was that Li Nuo had already seen all the details about him, and rushed to kill him as soon as he made a move, without any intention of interrogating him.
If a set of strong control + high-power offensive spells can't kill an unsuspecting combat wizard instantly, then Li Nuo is really using the deconstruction spell, as well as the level 100 "Two Fingers of Death" and "Mind Control" for nothing. .
Yes, in order to pursue a 100% control success rate, Li Nuo clicked "Mind Control" to level 100 on the spot, and when triggering the full tenth level reward, he chose "Option 1: Increase the control duration by 10%".
Now, "Mind Control" up to level 100 can stably control targets of level 10 and below for at least 1 second.
The lower the target's ring level, the longer the control time.
For a fourth-ring wizard with less than 150 "Spirit" points, no matter whether he is a combat wizard or not, as long as he is hit by "Mind Control", he will definitely enter a trance state that lasts for 7 seconds.
This is where Li Nuo has the confidence to kill his opponent instantly.
Li Nuo used the "Wizard's Hand" to collect the dirty blood that was about to fall to the ground without soiling other people's territory.
After briefly looking at the triggered passive decomposition results, Li Nuo used a body bag to collect Lituart's body and put it into the magic bag.
After completing this step, the boss of the Magic Glass Workshop just arrived.
After Li Nuo presented the "Order of Appointment" to the other party, he took Lituart's body and left without saying a word or wasting even a second of time.
Return to the Island Affairs Department, find agent Janela, write an action report on the spot, and hand over the body.
According to the rules of the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department, whoever kills a criminal has the right to distribute the spoils from the criminal.
Li Nuo unceremoniously put Lituart's belongings into his magic pocket, and used a soul-absorbing crystal to collect the fragments of his soul.
After Janara confirmed that the deceased was indeed Lituart, Li Nuo turned and walked towards the door to track down the next wanted criminal.
"You will keep my bounty for the time being, Janara. I will come to you to get it after I kill all six wanted criminals."
"Okay, Jarvis!" Janara watched Li Nuo leave with admiration.
Killing wanted criminals instantly can be done with careful planning and a certain amount of strength.
But only Li Nuo could lock down the wanted criminal in such a short period of time, which had to make Janela admire her.
