【Combat Level】Unknown
[Identity 1] An undercurrent spy of the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom
[Identity 2] The welcoming butler of the fifth heir to the Pangola family
(The deconstruction is not completed enough and you failed to obtain more information.)
…
"Undercurrent spy... I seem to have seen this term somewhere."
Li Nuo thought to himself.
He vaguely remembered that when he was killing the six wanted criminals, the words "undercurrent spy" appeared in the memory fragment of a wanted criminal.
Li Nuo rummaged through his mind and finally found the corresponding content in the memory fragments of the sixth wanted criminal.
This sixth wanted criminal possesses fourth-level combat prowess, and his "Spirit" attribute value has reached 148 points. He is only two "Spirit" points away from the threshold for promotion to the fifth-level.
After this wanted criminal had a mental connection with a pirate professor, he muttered something to the effect that he was envious of undertide spies, and that he would also apply to become an undertide spy after he became a five-ringed terror sail wizard in the future.
When Li Nuo read this memory fragment for the first time, he didn't pay much attention to this sentence. He just thought that the other party was looking forward to the future.
Now looking at the deconstruction results of the fake housekeeper, Li Nuo knew why the sixth wanted criminal was envious.
It turns out that the so-called "undercurrent spies" are actually spies placed by the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom in various families.
Then it's no wonder that the four-ringed Terror Sailing Wizard is envious.
Just look at the fake butler Heramat. When this guy comes in and out of the manor, he is followed by a large number of followers and many magical servants as helpers.
The chores were left to his subordinates, and the problems that could not be solved were left to the master Dikla Fagan. As long as he behaved and made no mistakes, he could always sit in the seat of the welcoming butler.
Li Nuo asked Kaeda a question before:
"Butlers like you, if you fish in troubled waters and line your own pockets, will you worry about being fired by your master?"
The old man from Kedar patted his chest and promised that he had never deducted Qian's money. Then he explained the origin of the housekeeper and answered Li Nuo's doubts.
It turns out that the steward of the heir to a family branch also has an inheritance system.
The first-generation family branch leader usually has one to three butlers. The offspring of these stewards, regardless of gender, will succeed their parents when they reach adulthood and become stewards of the family branch leaders.
The exception is if the younger butler who was supposed to succeed the old butler dies unexpectedly, then the old butler will continue to serve as the butler until the old butler has a new younger generation.
The butler thus became part of the wizard family's retainer system.
After Li Nuo learned about this situation, he analyzed the core of it.
Since this is a world where extraordinary power prevails, as a steward who is in constant contact with his master, he must be absolutely loyal.
If stewards are selected through recruitment, as in a world without extraordinary power, then the owner of this world would have to be wary, fearing that a steward with no loyalty would use his extraordinary power to launch a sneak attack.
Li Nuo thought carefully about it based on the butler inheritance system. If he was asked to plant spies within the family, he would also choose the position of butler. The reason is nothing more than that he can not only gain access to core secrets, but also fish in troubled waters with peace of mind.
But the question is, how did this undercurrent spy impersonate the original butler?
What did he rely on to prevent himself from being discovered by his master Dikla Fagan?
Just as Li Nuo was contemplating whether to spend some more energy to check more panel information of the fake butler, there was a movement at the gate of the manor.
The fake butler smiled and spoke cheerfully, welcoming the visitors warmly and politely.
The servants behind him stood on both sides of the manor's flower garden avenue, playing cheerful music with their instruments, adding a festive atmosphere to the scene.
Visitors need a letter of invitation to enter the estate.
Just hold the invitation letter in your hand and show it to the butler guarding the door when you step into the gate of the manor.
It is not suitable to stay outside the door at this time, otherwise you will be regarded as a person without an invitation letter by the armed servants. At worst, you will be chatted and questioned by the armed servants, or at worst, you will be expelled from the island.
Li Nuo reached into the inner pocket of his coat, held the invitation letter he received a few days ago in his hand, and followed the crowd to line up to enter the manor.
In the crowd in front of him, there were many fifth-, sixth-, and even seventh-level wizards. Without exception, these people found nothing unusual about the fake butler.
Li Nuo thought about it and didn't intend to meddle in other people's business.
He has only two purposes for coming here:
The first is to deconstruct the demon wizard around Dikla Fagan and obtain the skill experience of "Evocation Magic".
The second is to find an opportunity to deconstruct the books, manuscripts, letters and important visitors who met Dikla Fagan.
Opportunities to make a fortune or other important information are often hidden in the interpretation of these things and characters.
In an urgent need of gold coins, Li Nuo must seize all legal opportunities to make a fortune.
As for whether you must become a family consultant for the Pangola family...
Forget it.
There is a fake butler squatting in Dikla Fagan's territory. Sooner or later, this place will become the source of trouble. It is better for him to stay away from it.
Li Nuo has no intention of revealing the true face of the fake butler.
He put away the distracting thoughts in his mind, put on a ceremonial smile on his face, and handed the invitation letter in his hand to the fake butler in front of him.
The fake butler took the invitation letter and glanced at the words on it.
He recalled the information in his mind at Li Nuo's appearance, raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile:
"Welcome~~ Mr. Lenno Jarvis, your deeds have spread, and even Master Fagan has heard about you. Please come in quickly. I will arrange a meeting after the banquet starts, please be patient. wait."
"Thank you." Li Nuo took back the invitation letter and nodded to the fake butler with the goatee.
He walked through the team of servants playing music and walked toward the manor building not far away that was brightly illuminated by magic lamps.
Looking back at the gate of the manor behind me and the ocean in the distance, I saw no less than 50 luxury yachts gathering on the waves covered with rays of light at the moment when the sun was about to disappear into the sea.
The later the guest enters the venue, the more important they are.
The banquet will not start until all guests on the luxury yacht have arrived.
Mao estimated that Li Nuo might have to wait for at least an hour before he could take food from the banquet buffet table and enjoy the dancing on the dance floor.
This period of time is reserved for visitors to familiarize themselves with the environment, also known as warm-up time.
Keda specifically mentioned this matter to Li Nuo. He said:
After entering the manor, before the banquet begins, visitors can tour around the manor, but are not allowed to enter the basement and floors above the ground floor of the manor building.
To be more precise, do not enter any room that has a "Guests Not Allowed" sign on it.
It is also not possible to cast spells in the manor.
In the basement of the manor, there is a magic device that can accurately monitor spell fluctuations.
This magical device will block the spell as soon as it appears, causing a spell backlash effect on the caster.
Li Nuo's psychic magic is immune to spell backlash, but he will not test psychic magic here.
As he had always emphasized in his heart, he had one and only two purposes for coming here. Anything else that would interfere with the achievement of these two goals was not part of his plan.
Therefore, like an honest local wizard, Li Nuo walked into the manor honestly and inspected the things inside and outside the house with his eyes.
Throwing out deconstruction techniques one after another, he checked everything he could see.
After confirming that there was nothing worthy of attention, he came to the pavilion in the garden, holding a half glass of wine, and stopped to look in the direction of the gate of the manor.
If you want to enter or exit the manor, you must go through the main entrance.
This is true for ordinary visitors, as well as for distinguished guests.
Li Nuo stood in the pavilion and threw Deconstruction in the direction of the door to get the status of the VIPs. He didn't have to worry about missing anyone.
"Well...the ship owner who owns thirty magic mechanical ships, the farmer who controls ten magic farms, the owner of the magic workshop who mass-produces magic water purification devices...
"These are all wealthy people who are sitting on mountains of gold and silver. Apart from people who make a lot of money in business, didn't Dikla Fagan invite people from other fields?"
Li Nuo whispered in his heart.
As soon as he finished speaking, a luxury yacht with a "Libra" pattern docked on the shore. The people who got off the boat were surrounded by servants and walked towards the gate of the manor.
"This is the emblem of the Mantas family." Li Nuo stared at the golden "Libra" pattern on the yacht for a while.
He moved his eyes and looked at the skinny old man who was being greeted by the fake butler with a smiling face.
The person sent to the banquet by the Mantas family is thin and short, with a tapering chin, small eyes, and a round glass lens on the bridge of his nose.
Just by looking at him, you can feel his shrewdness.
Li Nuo used the deconstruction technique to look at the person's panel information and checked it with the common sense taught to him by Kaida.
This man is one of the four stewards of the Mantas family, named Bauer. He is responsible for the social and financial affairs of the Mantas family and often appears at various family banquets.
It is said…
This guy Ball has a tendency to not get on the stage...
His master, Joksim, the third heir to the Mantas family, knew this.
But because the position of housekeeper was inherited and Ball's social and financial skills were excellent, Joksim turned a blind eye to his bad habits.
Li Nuo was not interested in the so-called "bad habits", he just wanted to take a look at the inner secrets of the Mantas family.
Ball's appearance undoubtedly helped him achieve his second goal tonight.
Li Nuo did not hesitate to use up his energy points to activate the Deconstruction Technique on this skinny butler who only had five rings of strength.
A slight sense of trance passed through Li Nuo's mind, and a large section of system text was refreshed.
【system information:】
[Your completion of the deconstruction of "Butler Bauer" has reached 27.3%]
[You have obtained the following decomposition results:]
[1. Part of Bauer’s panel information: (nothing special, omitted for purpose)]
[2. Part of Ball’s recent memory fragments:]
[Memory Fragment 1: "Bauer and owner Joksim checked the bills of the past six months", completeness 100%]
[Memory fragment two: "Bauer enjoys the training of the strong maid", completeness 10%]
[Memory fragment three: "Bauer steals family funds", completeness 5%]
[Memory Fragment 4:…]
(Some memory fragments omitted.)
…
Li Nuo clicked on the second memory fragment and looked at it. Then he shouted "eyesore", closed the memory fragment with a snap, and threw it aside.
Li Nuo calmed down and scanned the memory fragments he obtained, confirming that only the first and third memory fragments were worthy of attention.
He clicked on the two memory fragments to play.
The first memory fragment showed a study room with closed doors and windows. The furniture in the room was all made of dark solid wood, giving people a very depressing feeling.
Butler Bauer and his master Joksim sat face to face on both sides of the desk, and the table between them was covered with manuscripts.
In the memory picture, Joksim has a cigarette in his mouth, a slicked back hair, and a straight nose.
He was checking the expenses on the bill and asked Ball about the specific purpose of each expense and where the funds went.
This memory fragment seems boring and boring, with only questions and answers from a master and a servant, but if you watch it together with the third memory fragment, it will be very enjoyable!
In the third memory fragment, the butler Bauer used various techniques to steal the owner Joksim's funds and set up his own treasury in the name of purchasing materials, reimbursing expenses, and maintaining the manor.
Ball's financial skills were excellent, far superior to his master Joksim's.
About half a year ago, Joksim was vaguely aware of some problems with his funds, but he was still unable to pinpoint the anomalies.
Others will definitely take it for granted that no matter how big the gap in financial skills is, Joksim only needs to take the bill and Ball's words to check the flow of funds with Wuling Pavilion where the gold coins are stored, and Ball's actions will be revealed. Only if he sees through it.
But in fact, Ball never revealed the secret.
Why is this?
With this question in mind, Li Nuo read the memory fragments.
Unfortunately, the third memory fragment has limited completeness and does not show the entire process of Ball's financial skills.
Li Nuo didn't know much about financial matters, but that didn't stop him from spending some more energy points to launch the deconstruction technique against Bauer.
【system information:】
[You spent about 60,000 energy points to deconstruct the target. 】
[Your deconstruction of "Butler Bauer" has reached 100% completion]
[In this deconstruction, you obtained the following deconstruction results:]
[1. "Bauer Steals Family Funds", completeness increased to 100%]
[2. "Details of Bauer's Vault", 100% complete]
[3. "Bauer's Secret Lover", 100% complete]
[4. "Bauer enjoys the training of a strong maid", completeness increased to 100%]
[5. "Bauer's Illegitimate Son", 100% complete]
"Ha..." Facing the deconstruction results in his mind, Li Nuo smiled secretly in his heart:
"I actually took out all of Ball's underwear. The deconstruction technique is really overbearing."
Li Nuo clicked on the memories except the fourth memory fragment in turn and read them as quickly as possible.
"Oh~ It turns out that Joksim's magical currency and finance were taught by Bauer. No wonder Joksim, as the person in charge, has real power, but he can't catch Bauer."
Li Nuo figured out the cause and effect and continued reading the memory fragments.
When he saw the scene of "Bauer entering the vault password", a faint light flashed in Li Nuo's eyes!
Taking a closer look at the specific location of Ball's vault, Li Nuo raised his eyebrows.
Tonight’s journey is a profitable one!
Bauer's "treasury" is not an anonymous bank account opened in Wuling Pavilion, but a real vault made of magic metal.
This vault was placed by Bauer on the east side of the Suman Islands, on the small island numbered 110982.
It was buried deep in a cave in the southeast corner of the island by Bauer.
"I have found the specific location of the vault in the memory fragments, and have roughly figured out the status of the gold coins in the vault. The total amount of gold coins there has reached an astonishing 6 million. This job is equivalent to my income for more than ten weeks. , I have no reason to miss it.”
Li Nuo's eyes flickered in thought:
"Even if I took away all the 6 million gold coins, this guy Bauer would not dare to tell the outside world, because these coins came from improper sources and were all stolen from his master Joksim. In this case, I will do whatever it takes. I'm going to do this too. Let me see...how I can enter the cave and open the vault..."
Li Nuo temporarily put aside the idea of appreciating Bauer's financial skills.
He swept aside the other memory fragments, leaving only the memory fragment "Bauer's Vault Details" and playing it on a loop in his mind.
Judging from the memory fragments, there are five protective measures inside and outside the vault.
The most peripheral protective measure is the security service provided by the Deep Sea Branch.
The magic sentry will patrol the island every hour for a week, patrolling back and forth over the island.
Li Nuo can use "perception tampering" to shield his figure from the sight of the magic sentry.
The second layer of protection is the island's magic traps, concentrated near the cave where the vault is placed.
This is not too difficult for Li Nuo.
Because the deconstruction technique can obtain the magic trap panel information, and then master the way to disarm the trap.
The third layer of protection is the magic puppet in the cave.
This thing has action logic, has the ability to identify friend or foe, and can also alert the deep sea branch's magic sentry by making sharp noises.
What's more troublesome is that Bauer placed about 30 magic puppets in a cave with a vertical depth of no more than 100 meters.
Basically, Li Nuo can encounter one every 20 meters.
What's even more troublesome is that these magic puppets are all "rock golems" of the rock and earth system. this
This kind of magic puppet will shrink inside the wall like an ordinary stone when it is not in combat.
Li Nuo's deconstruction technique can only distinguish the target through "seeing" and "touching".
As for the "rock golems" hidden in the wall, Li Nuo couldn't see them, so he couldn't deconstruct them.
Continuing to examine the memory fragments in depth, Li Nuo discovered that the difficulties he had to face were not just the "rock golem" hidden in the wall.
The vault made of magic metal itself has certain magical abilities.
It is a metal magical creation called "Metal Defender".
The place where the gold coins are stored is its chest cavity.
After sensing that an uninvited guest is approaching, the "Metal Defender" will transform from a boxy metal vault into a magic guardian with hands and feet, holding a magic shield and a magic spear and axe.
This is the fourth line of defense that Ball uses to protect his coffers.
The fifth line of defense is relatively simple. It is a vault door composed of mechanical locks, magic locks and combination locks.
Li Nuo has obtained the methods to release these three locks through memory fragments.
Overall, there are only three obstacles he has to face:
The magic trap near the cave, the "rock golem" in the cave, and the "metal defender" that acts as a vault.
If these three obstacles are removed, the huge sum of 6 million gold coins will be at your fingertips.
With the 6 million in hand, Li Nuo only needs to withdraw one-sixth of it to buy all the genuine products in the Haidson store.
By passively deconstructing these authentic products, the energy value he can obtain will be at least 1 million points.
If you are lucky enough to meet a few housekeepers who own vaults, use these 1 million energy points to deconstruct them, get the details of the vault, get more gold coins, and then use the gold coins to buy authentic products, and exchange the energy points for passive deconstruction of the authentic products. …
This series of operations is like a snowball that cannot stop.
"This is what stock gods call 'snowballing'. I love it~" Li Nuo smiled secretly in his heart while maintaining a calm and calm expression on the outside.
"It seems that the plan to deconstruct the important figures at the banquet, obtain secret important information, and then obtain wealth is feasible."
While Li Nuo was overjoyed, he did not lose due vigilance:
"One thing, I have to pay more attention to. I must leave a large period of time between my attendance at the banquet and the vault theft incident, and use a relatively large time span to dilute the connection between the two incidents. Doing so will indeed delay my ability to obtain the property in the vault, but it will also effectively prevent anyone with an intention from linking my participation in the banquet with the theft of the vault. I must be cautious enough when searching the butler's small vault. "
