At night, inside the stone house in the outer circle.
Dinah practiced meditation in her bedroom.
The Snowwing cat huddled up in the cat cage, belly up, sleeping soundly.
Li Nuo was sitting in the study, with five invitation letters on the desk in front of him, and in his hand was a gold coin used to practice meditation.
In the trash can in the study, many magic gadgets were destroyed by Li Nuo using violent means.
Li Nuo used passive deconstruction to convert magic gadgets into energy points, which he used to practice the "Metal Fusion" meditation method.
One gold coin after another was forcibly integrated into his body, his energy level dropped step by step, and system messages came one after another.
After half an hour of practice, Li Nuo let go of his hands and looked at his increasingly stronger arms.
He made several movements of bending his arms and stretching his thighs and waist, carefully feeling the physical changes brought about by the increase in "strength" attribute.
Whenever he clenches his fists and tightens his muscles, the sleeves of the magic robe will have obvious block-like outlines, giving a vague feeling that the clothes are about to be stretched open and the threads will explode.
Li Nuo sat on his seat, took a deep breath, and followed the body-building movements recorded in "Soul Casting" before thrusting a straight fist into the air above the table.
"clatter."
The cuffs suddenly collided with the air, making a crisp sound.
The wind and waves caused by the fist blow caused the green potted plants beside the wall to sway slightly and the leaves to tremble.
"Da da da."
Li Nuo raised his arms and punched continuously, his punches getting faster and faster, and his desire to engage in close combat communication with others became stronger and stronger.
The second before the desire to fight was about to urge him to take practical action, Li Nuo gathered his thoughts in time, slowly lowered his arms, and exhaled a long breath.
"Bear it down, Li Nuo, hold it back. Your physical strength and the muscular martial arts brought about by your body-building movements are one of your trump cards. Don't show it to others unless necessary."
Li Nuo warned himself a few times in his mind, dissipating the urge to fight.
He called up his personal panel and checked the attribute data.
[Soul Strength] 5201 points
[Energy value] 15/72 (40+32)
[Stamina Reserve] 320,000 points
【Strength】12 points
【Will】12 o'clock
[Metal Fusion Meditation Method] Level 12
It took about 280,000 energy points to upgrade the "Metal Fusion" meditation method to level 12 in one go.
This operation successfully reduced the energy value below the upper limit, and Li Nuo could enjoy the automatic recovery of energy value normally.
As the host, Li Nuo can modify and write entries on the personal panel.
He wrote a new entry, which is "Energy Value Reserve".
The so-called "reserve" specifically refers to the energy reward obtained by destroying magic gadgets, precious metal creations and other things. This type of thing is very easy to destroy and provides a lot of energy bonus.
For example, jewelry, necklaces, rings, and gold coins made of gold. These are precious metal creations that can be destroyed using the "Metal Fusion" meditation method.
Another example is exquisite magic ornaments, magic dolls, etc. These are magic gadgets that are expensive, sophisticated but impractical.
They have no combat value and can only be used as magical items for collection or decoration. Li Nuo can crush them with just one squeeze and get energy points as rewards.
The energy value obtained by passively deconstructing these things is the "energy value reserve".
The numbers for this panel entry need to be filled in manually by Li Nuo.
If the energy value of passively deconstructing the sea is included, the value of "energy value reserve" will increase significantly.
However, considering that it is very difficult to passively deconstruct the sea area and cannot be used to deal with emergencies, Li Nuo did not include it.
The reserve of up to 320,000 points on the panel corresponds to Li Nuo's ability to obtain energy points rewards at the touch of a finger, which is enough for him to cope with most emergencies.
Li Nuo looked at the table and scanned the five invitation letters.
With a wave of his hand, he put four of them into his magic pocket using "Psychic Capture", leaving alone the letter from the twenty-fifth heir of the Pangola family.
After careful consideration, Li Nuo decided to start contacting this person first.
the reason is simple.
This heir must be of low strength and have few connections. When Li Nuo comes into contact with them, he can take more initiative.
Secondly, Li Nuo can also use this weak heir to practice his skills and lay a solid foundation for meeting other heirs.
This is what Li Nuo is thinking.
He took the letter paper and ink pen and began to write a reply.
Half an hour later, Li Nuo sent the most satisfactory one among the many drafts. The recipient was the steward of the twenty-fifth heir of the Pangola family.
Next, just wait for the butler to reply.
As expected, within three days, Li Nuo received a reply from the butler, and then discussed a formal meeting with the heir.
In a sense, housekeepers also play the role of HR. He would first see if Li Nuo was suitable to serve as a family advisor and confirm again and again that Li Nuo was not an assassin or a spy before discussing it with his master.
If the housekeeper feels that Li Nuo is not suitable, or that Li Nuo's intentions are not sincere, then Li Nuo will most likely not even be able to see the real owner.
These are the rules of this wizarding world, and Li Nuo can only abide by them for the time being.
Li Nuo stood up, turned off the light in the study, and went to sleep with the soft Dinas in his arms.
At this moment, the sound of "meowing" representing the arrival of the letter came in my mind.
A vigorous figure flashed across the stairwell, but after receiving the letter, the Snowwing cat flew directly up from the first floor and jumped into Li Nuo's arms.
Li Nuo hugged Maomao, returned to the study, sat down again, and took out the three letters from the other party's letter bag.
The first two were from Most and Karandi.
The two people have reached a transaction contract and jointly discussed the delivery method. They each sent a letter explaining the situation to Li Nuo.
At this point, the intermediary commission of 12,000 gold coins per month has been settled. Li Nuo just waits to receive the money.
The third letter was interesting, it was actually a reply from the butler.
From the speed of the reply, Li Nuo felt that the other party and the owner behind him valued him.
It can be seen that the 25th heir is in the stage of thirsty for talents.
Li Nuo glanced at the contents of the letter, wrote a brief letter promising to attend the appointment on time, and then left the study.
The housekeeper set a meeting time for tomorrow evening.
In this case, let’s get ready during the day tomorrow.
Li Nuo held the Snowwing cat and took a deep breath, then sent it back to the cat cage on the first floor, and then stepped into the bedroom.
The next evening.
Although Li Nuo was mentally prepared for the fact that the twenty-fifth heir's overall strength was low, when he saw the island where he lived, he still sighed in his heart that it was "a little shabby."
This is a small island about 20 kilometers away from the inner circle.
There is a low mountain on the island, with a height of no more than 100 meters.
The maximum width of the entire island does not exceed 5 kilometers and is covered by dense forest.
In the very center of the forest, on the top of the low mountain, is a castle built by hollowing out half of the mountain and relying on it.
The first to third floors of the castle are inside the mountain, while the fourth to fifth floors protrude from the mountain, hanging on a low mountain like a castle in the air.
From a distance, this castle, shrouded in moss and vines, looks dilapidated and ancient, giving people the feeling that it should have been forgotten over the years, but was forcibly used as a residence.
Take another look at the magic guards on the island
Two rows of activated armor lined the aisle to welcome the visitors, with the total number not exceeding 20. It was really not enough to see.
The person standing in front of a group of activated armors is an old man wearing a black dress. He has gray hair and a thin body, but his body is quite strong and he stands upright.
Li Nuo descended from the sky, stood in front of the old man dressed as a housekeeper, and took out the invitation letter tucked into the inner pocket of his coat.
After a few polite words with the butler, Li Nuo walked towards the castle in the forest under the leadership of the other party.
Walking and chatting all the way, two people with extraordinary power walked around the island in the simplest way.
The butler who claimed to be Keda introduced his master's situation to Li Nuo.
When he heard that the family heir named Xi'an Nobbs Pangola was only 12 years old, Li Nuo almost failed.
He, he, he. He thought he must be an adult, but he never thought he was only 12 years old.
Keda glanced at the calm expression on Li Nuo's face and nodded secretly.
Kedar knew how devastating this news would be for a visitor.
Li Nuo's unwavering expression fell into Kaida's eyes, which was the best proof of his calmness in dealing with things.
"Let me introduce to you the inheritance system of the Pangula family. This may answer your questions." Keda took the initiative to explain the reason.
Li Nuo was listening
Gradually, he felt a little strange.
He always felt that Qian'an's situation seemed like he had seen it before somewhere.
The inheritance system of the Pangola family is the "male-first eldest son inheritance system."
Currently, she is the only one left in the family branch where Qian'an belongs, and she is the only one who has the inheritance rights of this family branch.
She is the first in line of succession in this family branch and can take the lead in inheriting all the assets and debts of the family branch.
But among the entire Pangola family, Qian's branch of the Nobbs family is at the bottom of the line of succession.
Calculated according to the "male-first eldest child inheritance system", her order of inheriting the entire family industry is the 25th, which is the last one.
The primary reason for this embarrassment is the decline of members of the family branch, and the direct cause is the accidental death of Qian'an's parents.
After losing her parents, Xi'an had to undergo magical enlightenment in accordance with the requirements of the family inheritance system at the age of only 12 years old.
Without magic talent, she would lose the qualification to inherit her father's inheritance and be removed from the family. From then on, she would not be able to call herself a member of the Pangola family.
Fortunately, she was lucky.
She has the gift of magic and preserves her father's legacy.
But because her magic talent is not metal or rock-earth, according to family rules, she cannot inherit all of her father's inheritance and must give up four-fifths of it.
In the end, she inherited one-fifth of the inheritance and became the twenty-fifth heir of the entire family.
Regarding the family inheritance system, Li Nuo has no interest...
What he really cares about is:
Xi'an is an orphan
orphan
Li Nuo chewed the word for a while, then glanced around the castle in the forest, and finally focused on himself, and then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly...
Qian'an has a car and a house, but her parents are dead.
Now, her life is down and in a difficult situation.
Li Nuo himself, with his system, is a loser.
hiss.
Isn't this a counterattack routine that often appears in TV series? !
Qian'an is the protagonist in it, and Li Nuo is the "grandpa" who comes to pay her a visit.
According to the routine, the old man Keda should be about to burp, and then the task of taking care of Qian'an will fall on his head, Li Nuo.
Li Nuo looked at Keda, with an unexplainable meaning in his eyes.
Keda couldn't help but shrink his neck, feeling a little unnatural by Li Nuo's eyes.
He obviously couldn't understand the meaning in Li Nuo's eyes and mistakenly thought that the other party was blaming him. Why didn't he state in the invitation letter that his hostess was only a 12-year-old girl.
So, Keda said apologetically:
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Jarvis. In order to protect the young mistress, I must keep her personal situation secret until I know your true purpose. This is a last resort, please forgive me."
Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, understood what the other party meant, and responded to the old butler who bowed to him:
"I understand what you are doing, Keda. It is really regrettable that Miss Nobbs is approaching her prime years and has suffered such a family change. I also admire your loyalty. With your company and guidance, Nobbs The young lady will surely restore Nobbs’ glory.”
After Li Nuo finished speaking openly, Keda wanted to be polite, but when the evening wind blew and the sunset in the sky turned red, he suddenly felt sad.
".Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Jarvis. I just hope that the lady can spend her life in peace."
Keda suddenly realized that what he said was inappropriate. As a housekeeper, he could not arrange the life path of his master.
Keda coughed lightly and dropped the topic:
"Please follow me, sir. We fully trust you. So, let us skip some steps. The lady is waiting in the banquet hall. I will take you there right now. By the way, we have just moved into the castle not long ago, and the interior decoration is still there. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive me."
"Thank you for your trust, Keda." Li Nuo followed the other person towards the castle, sighing secretly in his heart.
Okay.
The elements are gathered together.
The heroine's parents are dead and she owns the family fortune.
The old housekeeper who is loyal and protects the heroine.
A maverick with unique skills.
Another sinister and cunning villain kills the old housekeeper, stimulating the heroine's desire to take revenge and seize the title of head of the family.
Then he, a loser, will take advantage of the situation and help the heroine become the head of the family.
In the end, the heroine is in front and she is in the back, lying drunk on the beauty's knees and awakening to take over the family power.
As for who will be the villain.
Isn't that the fifth heir to the Pangola family?
This guy is in the Suman Islands and is responsible for handling the family's real estate and mineral resources in the Suman Islands.
Well, the characters, scenes, and contradictions all come together.
No wonder Li Nuo felt a sense of déjà vu as soon as he heard about Qian'an's life experience. It turned out to be a commonly used routine in Shuangwen.
Li Nuo was filled with emotion, but he had no intention of "following the same routine".
Looking back at the road he has traveled since time travel, he can see that the reason why he has been able to go smoothly is because he can judge the situation clearly.
He knows who he can mess with and who he can't mess with. He also knows when to act without any problem and when to act with endless consequences.
The reason why he has been able to persist with a 100% winning rate until now is not only due to the system, but also his own wisdom and rationality.
If he relies on his own system to challenge the authority of the Alchemy Temple in Gathering City, there will only be a dead end.
Faced with Qian'an's predicament, Li Nuo made up his mind to sit on the sidelines because he couldn't afford to offend the Pangola family. Even if he was only the fifth heir, he would stay away.
"This strategic retreat will continue until he finds the destiny of the fifth heir."
This is Li Nuo's current code of conduct.
If this condition cannot be met, Li Nuo will not help Qian'an and Keda no matter what price they offer.
After all, the system he obtained was a "deconstructed core system", not an infinite rebirth like the undead suspected of being a player.
On the other hand, if the fifth-in-line heir asked Li Nuo to deal with Qian'an and Keda, Li Nuo would not agree, let alone become the other party's family advisor.
The reason is very simple. This is Li Nuo's simple concept of good and evil "at work", which makes him unable to bear to attack two already miserable people.
What's more, neither Xi'an nor Keda are evil people.
At the moment when the sunset sank into the sea, Li Nuo followed Keda into the main entrance of the castle.
Walking through the aisles covered with brand new carpets, Li Nuo met Qian'an in the carefully decorated banquet hall.
It is said to be a banquet hall, but it was actually transformed from a small reception room covering an area of less than 100 square meters.
Qian'an was only a 12-year-old girl, so she tried her best to dress up.
She looks childish, with bright eyes full of curiosity and playfulness.
The mature women's formal dress with large lapels looked slightly incongruous when she was wearing it, but it also made her even cuter.
It can be seen that the master and servant tried their best to welcome their guest.
In a sense, Xi'an, who is only 12 years old, cannot dominate the conversation.
She has the qualifications but lacks the experience.
The task of leading the topic during the entire meeting still had to fall on Keda.
Li Nuo threw out the Deconstruction Technique and looked at it.
Xi'an's deconstruction consumption is 5,000 energy points, and she has the strength of a wizard's apprentice.
According to Keda, her magic talent focuses on the flame branch of the plasticity system, which is relatively rare in the Pangola family and should be influenced by her mother.
As for Keda’s strength…
Li Nuo raised his eyes slightly.
The old butler's deconstruction consumption is not high, only 110,000, which is equivalent to the consumption of a five-ring wizard, which fits the image of a supporting actor who may burp at any time.
However, Li Nuo noticed that the name given to Keda by the system was not "XX Ring Wizard Keda", but "Fifth-Level Extraordinary Keda".
This shows that Keda is not a wizard.
This is quite rare in the extraordinary world dominated by wizards, especially when the other party appears in a wizard family.
When Li Nuo faced such an old butler, his first reaction was not to dig into his mysterious past, but to ask him if it would be convenient for him to have a fight after dinner.
As long as the strength is controlled well and both parties reach the point, Li Nuo doesn't mind spending 110,000 energy points in vain.
