The day after visiting Qian and Keda.
In order to replenish his energy reserves as soon as possible, Li Nuo went out early in the morning.
His destination was "Hideaway's store", that is, the store where all the items sold were genuine, but the sales were bleak because of the high prices and poor quality.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the store, Li Nuo saw Hedwig walking out of the store carrying a heavy bag.
After some chatting, Li Nuo realized that today happened to be the day when the other party went to sea.
According to Hedwig's plan to go to sea, he would sail out of port early in the morning and find a good place to squat on the sea near the Whirling Continent in the south.
Now when he heard that Li Nuo was coming to buy something, he put down his backpack without saying a word, pushed the store door open with a bang, and clicked the switch that lit the chandelier in the house.
"Please take a look, guest. Hehehehe..."
When Hedwig saw business coming to his door, he had a silly smile on his face.
When he thought about the other party's generous purchase of something worth tens of thousands of gold coins last time, the smile on his face became even wider.
"I'm really sorry, Hedwig, for disrupting your overseas plans." Li Nuo stepped into the store with a slight apology.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Hey, it doesn't matter if you go early or late. Those places where you can catch good treasures have long been divided up by the wizard families." Hedwig waved his hand and smiled.
Li Nuo walked around the store and found some extra things on the shelves, which should have been sorted out by Hedwig from the trophies he brought back from his last trip to sea.
Li Nuo has previously used deconstruction techniques to "scan" the products in the house in the name of "taking a look around."
Now after walking around the store, he picked out a few products with low prices and high energy reserves.
When it was the checkout's turn, Hedwig glanced at what Li Nuo wanted to buy and said:
"Guest, you seem to like small and ancient things."
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded.
"Then when I go to sea this time, I will go to the "Mossy Blue Cave". There are many such small dragon collectibles there. " Hedwig said.
Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, "What blue hole?"
"The Moss-covered Blue Grotto is a very complex and huge group of underwater caves. There are blue glowing moss everywhere inside, so it's called the Moss-covered Blue Grotto."
Hedwig said while settling the accounts:
"That place is very evil. There are often wizards who can't get out after entering, and are trapped to death in it. I don't dare to swim too deep inside, so I can at most walk around the entrance of the cave. Find some that no one wants... uh, No, I mean, find some small, exquisite dragon collections to bring back."
Li Nuo ignored Hedwig's embarrassment and asked instead:
"You mean, there are many dragon collections that I like in that mossy blue cave, right?"
Hedwig scratched his beard and thought for a few seconds facing the ledger:
"Yeah, yes. The gadgets I found in the Mossy Blue Cave are much more than in other underwater areas, at least three or four times more."
Li Nuo quietly wrote down this location.
If you can't find a good way to passively deconstruct the sea area for the time being, then going to the moss-covered blue hole mentioned by Hedwig may be a good way to quickly obtain a large amount of energy reserves.
So which method is better than chasing criminals?
Li Nuo asked in thought:
"Hedwig, when you go to the Moss-covered Blue Grotto, besides dealing with the complex terrain, what else do you have to watch out for? Sea people? Sea monsters? Or something else?"
"The most troublesome things at the Moss-covered Blue Grotto are the terrain, undercurrents, and sea snakes in the dark. Because of these three points, few people will wander there."
Hedwig paused, looked away from the account book, looked at Li Nuo and asked:
"Guest, do you want to go to the Mossy Blue Cave?"
"I do have this idea." Li Nuo responded.
"Oh~ That's it..." Hedwig put down the pen in his hand and his eyes flickered:
"If you can pay 80,000 gold coins, I can take you there for a few laps. To be honest, I have an exclusive sightseeing tour map of the Moss-covered Blue Cave to ensure that you can go in safely. Come out safely and bring back some gadgets you like."
"80,000 gold coins?" Li Nuo raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, 80,000 gold coins." Hedwig waved his hand and said:
"However, these 80,000 gold coins are not all for me. You may not know that the sea area I often go to, "Xingluo Sea", is the territory of the Chanal family. Anyone who goes there to collect dragon treasures thrown out from the Whirling Continent needs to pay 50,000 gold coins to purchase a pass. Me, you, and the wizarding families are all like this. This pass is valid for one month. If you purchase it after it expires, you can get a 10% discount, that is, you can exchange it for the right to pass through Xingluo Sea at the price of 5,000 gold coins per month. "
Li Nuo nodded slowly and asked again:
"Since I need 50,000 gold coins to buy the pass, the remaining 30,000 is your reward. This is more expensive than the first-class flight to Cahir Continent..."
Hedwig smiled awkwardly:
"Hey, guest. You can't say this. I will accompany you to play in the moss-covered blue cave, but it will take up my time to collect treasures. In the same time, I can collect treasures worth 30,000 to 50,000 gold coins. ”
"Really..." Li Nuo looked around and glanced at the things that had not been sold for a long time.
Hedwig's embarrassment was even worse. He rubbed his hands and sighed:
"Okay, guest. The one-time price is 75,000 gold coins. It really can't be any less. I will also provide underwater security services. And I will provide your accommodation and food at sea."
"It's suddenly reduced by five thousand gold coins." Li Nuo looked at the store door:
"It seems that I have to go to other places to ask about the price. The price fluctuations here are quite large."
"70,000 gold coins, every penny is a lot, 70,000 gold coins." Hedwig stretched out his big hand and stopped in front of Li Nuo:
"The price is the same in other places. I can't lower it any more. I am the only one who is most familiar with it here."
Li Nuo glanced at the other party suspiciously.
Under his gaze, Headway did not lower the price again, but maintained an expectant smile with a hint of embarrassment.
"Okay, Hedwig. I will consider it." Li Nuo thought about his recent itinerary and then said:
"My schedule is tight recently. After you come back from the sea this time, I may be able to spare some time. By then, I will come and talk to you again."
"Okay, no problem, guest." Hedwig secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Nuo's tone was as usual.
He calculated the accounts quickly, wiped out the small changes, and asked Li Nuo to collect a bunch of gold coins.
Li Nuo put the energy reserves gained from the trip into his magic pocket and walked out of the store accompanied by Hedwig.
Before leaving, Hedwig finally remembered to ask Li Nuo his name, and Li Nuo told him openly.
Unexpectedly, after Hedwig heard Li Nuo's name, his reaction was unexpectedly strong:
"Are you the 'Bounty Madman' Jarvis?!"
Li Nuo's mouth twitched, and he probably guessed that "Bounty Madman" was the nickname given to him by others.
In the past few days, he took over 22 bounty tasks and 6 wanted orders, all of which were completed in a short period of time.
Among them, there are a total of 28 tasks before and after, corresponding to at least 28 local magic workshops, magic farms, and small and medium-sized forces in the Suman Islands.
It was hard not to leave a deep impression on the people present with his decisive and straightforward manner.
Naturally, his fame spread along with the rumors.
According to the experience of the previous life, this kind of relatively curious rumor will spread for up to 7 days, and reach the climax of discussion on the 3rd to 5th day.
Counting the time, it took just two days for wizards like Hedwig, who graduated from the Deep Sea Branch, to learn the news.
Seeing that Hedwig was so surprised by his identity, Li Nuo acted very calmly.
With an enigmatic smile, he nodded lightly and said in a calm tone:
"Well, it's me."
Then, Li Nuo turned around and left in a cool manner, leaving the other party's back walking on the street.
Hedwig was surprised to see the real person in the city's ghost stories, and watched Li Nuo leave.
After turning the corner and arriving at a place where Hedwig could not see, Li Nuo immediately quickened his pace and shouted in his heart:
"It's so embarrassing, I'll never pretend again!"
After solving the problem of energy reserve, Li Nuo sent several letters to the housekeepers of the four major families to discuss the time and place to meet.
The stewards of the four major families gave their replies one after another.
As Li Nuo expected, the Chanal family, which owns many magic production industries on the Suman Islands, responded to him the most enthusiastically.
In fact, among the 28 tasks handled by Li Nuo, the law enforcement location in at least 20 tasks was the magic workshop, farm, dock or ship owned by the Chanal family.
Li Nuo, a law enforcer who can efficiently maintain the order of the magic industry, will naturally be welcomed by the Chanal family.
In contrast, the responses from the other three families were not so enthusiastic. There was only a business-like tone between the lines, and there was no emotional rhetoric like the Chanal family.
After careful consideration, Li Nuo put the meeting time for the Chanal family at the end, with the other three families first.
In this way, he can maximize the use of meeting opportunities to obtain information within each family.
The closest meeting is three days later, when Li Nuo will take the lead in visiting Xi'an's enemy, Dikla Fagan.
…
…
Three days were spent making magic props for Qian'an.
at dusk.
Li Nuo first sent the prepared magic props to Xi'an's island, and then changed the flight direction to Dikla Fagan's residence in the Suman Islands.
As the fifth heir to the Pangola family, Dikla Fagan's situation is much better than that of Xi'an.
He has three islands in the inner circle of the Suman Islands where every inch of land is precious.
These three islands are connected by cross-sea stone bridges built with rock and soil magic, forming a layout of one main and two auxiliary.
Decara Fegen's own manor was placed on the main island. The main island was shrouded in magical fog. Li Nuo could neither see the situation inside nor enter it.
Only those who carry passage props can freely step into the magic fog without being attacked by magic traps.
The sub-islands on the east and west sides of the main island are used to house production facilities such as magic water purifiers and magic orchards, and the other is specially used as a visitor area to meet outsiders.
Li Nuo was approached by the magic servant of the Pangula family less than 3 kilometers away from the visitor area, and was asked to lower his flying altitude and approach the visitor area below 50 meters.
After approaching some of Dikla Fagan's territory again, Li Nuo deeply felt the huge difference between different heirs.
Xi'an's place was deserted, with almost no people except for the magic sentries on routine patrol.
But here, next to Dikla Fagan's visitor area, there are several magical mechanical yachts parked neatly.
Human beings are an animal in which rare things are valued.
In the wizarding world, there are countless wizards who master flying spells, but there are only a few people who have the financial strength to buy and maintain magical mechanical yachts.
According to Keda's experience, when visiting the head of the wizard family here in the Suman Islands, the more decent way is to take a ride on your own magical mechanical ship.
The bigger the ship, the more luxurious it is, and the more it needs deeper water and space to dock, the more respectable its owner will be.
Of course, it cannot exceed the highest traffic specifications in the sea area.
Within the allowable range of sea water depth, no matter how much you use your travel tools, there will be no problem.
In short, people like Li Nuo who used flight spells to reach the territory of the magic aristocracy may look cool and come and go like the wind, but in fact, in the social circle of the Suman Islands, they are a typical "poor person".
What's more, Li Nuo used a mainland flying spell called "Death Flight"...
When he landed on the beach in the visitor area under the guidance of the magic servant, he inevitably triggered discussions among fellow visitors.
But soon, the speculation and discussion about Li Nuo were replaced by other guests arriving by boat.
Li Nuo glanced at the crowded beach and looked at the gate of the manor directly in front.
Dikla Fagan's butler chose today as the day to meet with Li Nuo, but this day was not a time slot specially reserved for receiving Li Nuo. It is actually the day when Dikla Fagan holds a regular monthly social banquet.
At the banquet, Dikla Fagan will serve as the host and stay on the second floor of the banquet venue, secretly meeting guests recommended by the butler.
So how do you get a recommendation from a housekeeper?
The answer is to have a great performance at the party.
As a banquet that is dominated by social interaction, those who can have both sides of the coin when talking to others will inevitably have an aura of wealth and status. Appearance and eloquence alone cannot attract socialites who pursue "respectability".
In other words, for Li Nuo, his fighting strength and crime-solving ability are enough to become a family consultant for a certain family.
But this is not enough.
On this basis, he must have an emotional intelligence that exceeds that of his peers before he can be qualified to become the family consultant of the Pangola family.
Don't ask why candidates for family consultants are screened in this way. The question is, "There are many people who want to be family consultants."
Some of the wizards Li Nuo saw arriving at the scene using flying spells were invited by the Pangola family to apply for family consultant positions.
They are also the wizard law enforcers here in the Suman Islands, and each of them has obtained the "Order of Appointment" issued by the Deep Sea Branch.
When it comes to completing bounty missions and wanted orders, they are definitely not as fast as Li Nuo. However, they surpassed Li Nuo in terms of quantity and quality of completed bounty missions and wanted orders.
They have been famous here in the Suman Islands for many years, and the number of tasks they have completed starts at least a thousand.
At the same time, they will not chop off wanted criminals in pursuit of efficiency like Li Nuo did. Instead, they will send wanted criminals to the Island Affairs Department for interrogation.
This gap in quantity and quality determined that Li Nuo was not outstanding among the law enforcement wizards who came to compete for family consultants. Although he seemed to be a rising star, he was not outstanding.
In addition, it is not just law enforcement wizards who can become family advisors to a certain family.
For example, wizards who have made achievements in the fields of construction, production, archeology, mining, etc. can become family consultants.
Li Nuo stood at a corner of the beach, under the shade trees, throwing deconstruction techniques to the visitors.
Among the visitors who have arrived now, most of them are "diaosi" wizards who arrived here using flying skills, and a very few are distinguished guests who came on a magic mechanical yacht.
Judging from the clothing, expression, location and the "identity" column on the panel information, there are not many visitors like Li Nuo who are applying for family consultants, less than ten. Other visitors should come with a social purpose.
As the time for the banquet approached, a gorgeously dressed team came from the direction of the manor building.
They opened the gate of the manor and lined the streets to welcome the guests.
At this time, many heavyweight guests attending the banquet came from the distant sea on their own magical mechanical ships.
Li Nuo briefly glanced at the ships converging towards the island, and then focused on the team coming from the manor.
At the front of this team was Dikla Fagan's butler, wearing a black fabric dress with sparkling ribbon accessories and a flirty monocle.
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes and threw the deconstruction technique from a distance of two to three hundred meters, aiming directly at the butler who was strutting up.
【system information:】
[You are about to use deconstruction on "Abnormal Butler Heramat". 】
[Based on your deconstruction results of "Deep Sea Scale Meditation Method" and "Deep Sea Secret Book", the consumption of this deconstruction has been reduced. 】
[It is expected to consume 156,000 energy points to achieve 100% deconstruction completion]
【Notice! 】
[The system has detected that deconstructing this target will have a negative impact on you. 】
[The system recommends using harmless deconstruction methods to deconstruct it. 】
"Huh? What's the trick? There's something wrong with Dikla Fagan's butler. How could he be related to the meditation method of the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom?"
Li Nuo changed his direction slightly and threw the deconstruction technique at the team of servants behind the butler.
The system feedback message showed that except for the housekeeper, no servants were abnormal.
Li Nuo pondered for a moment, reached into his pocket, mobilized some energy reserves, and launched a harmless deconstruction of the butler who raised his head like a rooster.
