The most powerful person in the entire manor spoke, and those present had no choice but to obey her orders.
Selina is both a Nine-ring Deep Sea Wizard and the Vice-President of the Deep Sea Branch.
Since she is the vice president, it means that as long as she gives the order, the Deep Sea Branch will send people to help.
Under the watchful eyes of the on-site visitors, and with Young Master Dicra Fagan's "excited" and trembling expression, Selina contacted the Deep Sea Branch with letters and magic messengers, and called a group of third- to fifth-ring people from the inner circle. The wizard of the deep sea who does not wait.
They commandeered Master Fagan's garden and temporarily built a magical octagonal cage for extraordinary duels in front of the magnificent manor building.
Blessed are the visitors tonight. If you come here, you can not only eat melon, but also enjoy a life-and-death duel, which is a real bonus.
The magic octagonal cage was quickly set up.
The deep sea wizards maintained order at the scene, Selena stood on the second floor terrace as the host, and the onlookers crowded the grass surrounding the magic octagonal cage.
After experiencing a brief and violent trance, Master Fagan returned to the manor building and whispered to his butler.
After all, the two of them, master and servant, are local hosts, so they still have some respect.
Selina gave them ten minutes to prepare.
When the time comes, Steward Heramat will either appear in person or assign a battle wizard to fight on his behalf.
Just as Li Nuo expected, Helamat and Fagan discussed and sent a demon wizard with fourth-level combat strength to fight.
Seeing this situation, Li Nuo smiled secretly in his heart, bowed to Selina on the second floor terrace and saluted, and said:
"Ms. Selina, I apply to increase the chips in the duel. If I win, I hope Fagan can transfer the contract rights of this demon wizard to me."
Fagan stood on another terrace a few meters away from Selina, angrily slapping the stone fence and shouting:
"Then what if you lose! You despicable first-level wizard! If you lose, you have to become my slave! Not only will I take away your life, I will also enslave your soul for fifty years, no , is a hundred years!”
"It's a deal, Fagan." Li Nuo looked at the other party with a faint smile.
His presence as an old god made Fagan even more irritated. The eldest young master cursed one after another, which was obviously a failure.
Selena folded her hands on her lower abdomen, and the blue liquid robe on her body flowed slowly.
She looked at Li Nuo and Heramat standing outside the magic octagonal cage and said:
"I recognize the bet of this life-and-death duel. It will be witnessed by me and all the visitors at the scene. Open the magic octagonal cage, activate the protective circle of the magic fence, conduct pre-battle inspections, and prepare for a life-and-death duel."
The deep sea wizard opened the two gates of the magic octagonal cage.
Li Nuo and the Demon Wizard were inspected by the Deep Sea Wizard, and it was confirmed again that both parties met all the requirements to participate in a life-and-death duel.
The specific way to check is to use detection spells on both parties in the duel.
The more critical detection spell is "Wizard Level Detection". This spell will form a magical light on the target. Based on the color of the light, the wizard level of the target can be determined.
As a first-level wizard, Li Nuo's magical light is gray.
The magic wizard who fights in the place of the fake butler has the green color of a four-ringed wizard.
After confirming that both parties met all the requirements of the duel rules, Li Nuo and Li Nuo entered the duel ring through the fence doors on both sides of the octagonal cage.
The fake butler stood outside the magic octagonal cage, facing Li Nuo face to face.
This guy had a gloomy look on his face, obviously resenting Li Nuo for disrupting his plan.
However, there was no timidity on his face at all.
When he invited Li Nuo to come to the manor, he had learned about Li Nuo's origins and strength.
He knew very well that behind Li Nuo was the "Silent Girl".
Let’s not discuss why Li Nuo, a wizard, joined a wizarding force full of witches. Judging from Li Nuo’s efficient completion of bounty tasks and wanted orders, the fake butler felt that Li Nuo had the help of Professor Erica’s gift. Only mysterious magic props can be so efficient.
Including Li Nuo recognizing that there is an abnormality in the contract box, including Li Nuo recognizing his identity as a spy, these are all the mysterious props provided by Professor Erica to help Li Nuo.
The fake butler speculated that the mysterious props held by Li Nuo were probably detection magic props, and they were the kind of props whose energy fluctuations were extremely weak and difficult for him, a four-ring wizard, to detect.
As for Li Nuo's method of killing the wanted criminal, the fake butler attributed it to the spell-breaking effect of the magic of silence.
As a unique wizard among the "Silent Girls", Li Nuo must have special skills in using the magic of silence to be accepted by Professor Erica as a member.
This is what the fake housekeeper thinks.
Everything must be attributed to Professor Erica.
Without Professor Erica's secret help, Li Nuo would be an ordinary first-level combat wizard at best.
If our side sends a four-ring demon wizard to fight on his behalf, we should be able to defeat Li Nuo.
But the question is, why does Li Nuo look so confident and even offer to increase the bet...
Thinking of this, the fake butler always felt that things were full of weirdness, and he still couldn't figure out where Li Nuo had the confidence to face the four-ringed demon wizard.
Li Nuo responded to the fake butler's gaze with an indifferent and playful gaze.
He used the deconstruction technique to look at the four-ringed demon wizard who was about to fight him.
The higher the level, the more types of magical energy the Demon Wizard can control, and the more powerful the evocation spells are.
The four-ringed demon wizard in front of him mastered fire magic, thunder magic, earth magic and water magic.
Unlike elemental wizards who rely on "elemental reactions" to deal damage, evocation wizards rely more on "spell combinations" to create control effects and output damage.
Fire magic's "Fireball" + Earth magic's "Mud" = Fire and earth magic's "Sticky Explosive Fireball".
The effect of "Sticky Fireball" is very similar to that of sticky grenades. It can stick to the magic shield, making the wizard unable to avoid it and can only resist damage.
The "Electric Shock Technique" of Thunder Magic + the "Stone Shield Technique" of Earth Magic = the "Electric Shock Stone Shield" of Thunder and Earth Magic, which is a stone shield that automatically releases electric shock to the source of damage.
Li Nuo used deconstruction to get the opponent's spell list. The long list of spell names dazzled him.
For an enemy who has mastered a large number of spells, Li Nuo has only one word:
Second.
Knock the opponent out instantly.
The opponent must not be given the opportunity to exert the effect of the "spell combination", otherwise it will be Li Nuo who is bombarded by spells.
After the deep sea wizard inspected the duel venue, he closed the fence door and nodded to Selina on the terrace.
The fake housekeeper took a step forward, put his face against the fence, looked up at Li Nuo who was locked in the cage, and whispered viciously:
"Go to hell, you bastard."
Li Nuo sneered at him and said, "It will be your turn soon, don't rush."
The fake butler snorted and took a step back.
Selena said on the terrace:
"Both parties raised their hands to indicate that they were ready."
Li Nuo raised his right arm, and the Demon Wizard did the same.
"Both sides are in position." Selina paused for a second and announced:
"The duel begins!"
"Buzz!!!!"
"boom!!!!!!"
"Crash la la la..."
Li Nuo did not use a wand to cast spells this time.
He pointed forward with ten fingers instead.
Every fingertip of his is blooming with black light!
Countless black rays converged into a torrent of spells that raged inside the octagonal cage. The scene was disturbed by the storm-like airflow. Everyone's clothes were blown by the sudden burst of spells. The black spell light stained the dull faces of the audience. Jet black.
In less than 1 second, every inch of space in the octagonal cage was occupied by violent black rays, leaving no gaps.
The fear and trembling caused by the death energy directly hit everyone's hearts through the magic fence.
The demon wizard who faced this violent energy did not even cast a counter-attack spell. The moment the black ray swallowed her body, it exploded and scattered into countless small crystals that splashed on the fence.
Li Nuo was determined to save this demon wizard's life.
The moment he reached 100% passive deconstruction completion, he stopped in time.
The black ray disappeared into thin air inside the octagonal cage.
Only Li Nuo stood there.
His opponent had turned into crystal waste and a weak soul suspended in the air, trembling.
There was silence, absolute silence.
The fake butler's face still had an expression of waiting for a good show, but the next second he was frightened by the horrifying scene in front of him, and his face instantly turned as white as wax paper.
He suddenly came back to his senses, waved his arms, and shouted with all his strength:
"I protest! I protest!
"Leno Jarvis is not a first-level wizard at all!!! I protest!!! He is a fifth-level wizard! No! He is a sixth-level combat wizard! He is cheating!!"
"No, he is a first-level wizard." Although Selina did not shout loudly, her voice easily overcame the noisy fake housekeeper:
"Control the butler and hand it over to Lenno Jarvis. This is the requirement of Decree No. 1."
The deep sea wizards guarding both sides of the fake butler grabbed the fake butler's shoulder blades.
Layers upon layers of magic chains composed of crystal clear sea water tightly bound the fake butler.
The fake butler was extremely frightened and yelled at Fagan, begging him for help.
Fagan, who was standing on the terrace, clung to the fence and stared at Li Nuo inside the octagonal cage, turning a deaf ear to the housekeeper's plea for help.
Li Nuo reached into his magic pocket, took out a small piece of soul-absorbing crystal and threw it to the demon wizard who had only his soul left.
The soul-absorbing crystal hovers in the air, and the soul of the demon wizard eagerly absorbs soul energy from the soul-absorbing crystal.
Along with her movements, the crystal fragments scattered on the ground slowly floated off the ground, reuniting into a complete energy body amidst the clear sound of crystal collision, protecting the soul of the demon wizard.
This is the uniqueness of the Demon Wizard.
As long as their souls still exist, they can reshape their energy bodies by absorbing soul energy.
What looks like crystal fragments is actually the energy crystallization of the demon wizard. The crystal shell woven from energy crystals is equivalent to the magic robe of an ordinary wizard.
At this time, the demon wizard has restored his mind.
To be precise, when she was on the verge of death due to the violent black ray, her heart and wisdom were forcibly unsealed by the guardian contract.
She was a little confused about her situation and didn't quite understand the situation in front of her.
Her colorful eyes, as bright as rhinestones, were very blurry.
At this time, the guardian log recorded in the guardian contract comes in handy.
But she needed a little time to read the guardian log before she could figure out what was going on.
Seeing that she was fine, Li Nuo took back the soul-absorbing crystal that had some remaining soul strength, and turned to look at the deep-sea wizard guarding the door:
"Please open the door."
The deep-sea wizard came back to his senses with a shiver, looked at Selina, and after seeing the other party's nod, he unlocked and opened the octagonal cage's fence door.
Li Nuo walked out of the magic octagonal cage, walked slowly towards the fake butler, and said loudly:
"I defeated the demon wizard who fought on behalf of the undertide spy. According to the provisions of Decree No. 1, the lives of the demon wizard and the undertide spy will belong to me. Fagan and I have a bet first. The demon wizard in the octagonal cage can If you continue to live, I will become her contractor. And you, the undercurrent spy, will only die."
Every time Li Nuo took a step forward, the audience couldn't help but retreat a little.
By the time he stood in front of the fake butler, there was a large open space around him.
Li Nuo's approaching step by step and Fagan's silence became the straw that broke the fake butler's back.
The fake butler, who was still asking Fagan for help, now fell into a strange calm.
His body, which was bound by magic chains, was no longer struggling or twisting.
"Ho ho ho..." The fake butler chuckled coldly.
A large number of scales appeared on his face, and the fishy smell of seawater spread everywhere, causing everyone around him to retreat again and again.
His body swelled, and the magic chains exploded with a bang, turning into water stains and falling to the ground.
The two deep sea wizards who cast spell chains were suddenly attacked by spell backlash. Their faces turned pale and they staggered back a few steps.
"Hiss, yo, yo..." The face of the fake butler turned into an inverted triangle snake head, with a long black tongue swiping between the sharp teeth.
His head is covered with dark green scales, and there is a pair of short horns on the top of his head. His eyes are a scary amber color, and his pupils are like the vertical pupils of a poisonous snake.
Dark green scales spread from his head to his limbs, and his body shape changed drastically wherever the scales passed.
In less than 10 seconds, the fake butler who originally had a human appearance turned into a veritable sea monster of the deep sea - an evil sea monster with a head, horns, scales and arms. The upper body is like a human, but the lower body is similar to a poisonous snake. civil.
"Don't you dare kill me, idiot. I planted toxin bombs in Suman City, and only I know where they are..."
The undercurrent spy taunted Li Nuo in a hoarse and sinister tone.
He thought he could threaten Li Nuo with a bomb.
He was destined to be disappointed.
"Buzz!!"
The black ray was like a raging python, biting into pieces the undercurrent spy's body.
"How dare you..." the undercurrent spy shouted in disbelief, his voice sharp and harsh.
"Boom!" Before the undercurrent spy could finish his words, his head was exploded by black lightning, his torso exploded, and the snake's tail was torn apart, turning into sewage and pieces of meat that flew away.
The deep sea wizard who maintained order quickly summoned a water curtain to block the filth that was about to fall on the audience's heads.
Li Nuo unfolded the magic shield on his body, forming an oval shield shell to keep out the dirt.
He swept away the corpses of the undercurrent spies, used "Wizard's Hand", picked up a few small things mixed in the minced meat, took out a separate metal box and put it in.
Li Nuo turned his head, nodded towards Selena who was looking at him, and shook the metal box in his hand.
Selena tapped her chin invisibly and understood what Li Nuo meant.
But before she could announce that the duel was over, Li Nuo took out the application order for a life-and-death duel and said while writing text with "Wizard's Hand":
"Tonight's life-and-death duel is not over, everyone. I will launch several new life-and-death duels next."
There was constant discussion at the scene.
"A few more life-and-death duels..."
"Is he crazy?"
"This will offend Fagan to death..."
"Is he a first-level wizard? Why does he have such amazing destructive power..."
"It should be because of his extraordinary characteristics...I heard that wizards with "magic knowledge" are as unreasonable as him..."
Li Nuo ignored other people's comments.
He went through the memory fragments of the undercurrent spies in his mind and found many people who worked closely with them.
Among the more key figures, in addition to the family consultant Simon, there are several other family consultants, as well as the owner of the manor, Dickla Fagan.
In fact, Dekla Fagan's pursuit of Selena was prompted by the undercurrent spy.
Fagan has reached a secret cooperation with the Scary Sails Pirate Nation. He is responsible for pulling Selina into the water, and the Scary Sails Pirate Nation will provide him with the specific location and reserves of the seabed mineral veins.
You must know that the deeper the mineral deposits in this world are buried and the longer they are soaked in the deep sea, the stronger their magical properties will be and the more valuable they will be.
Even if Dikla Fagan did not dig up these seabed mineral veins provided by the Terror Sails Pirate Kingdom and resold them directly, he would still be able to reap a net profit of no less than 500 million gold coins.
This wealth is enough for him to compete with the first-ranked heir the next time the family heir is selected.
The undertide spy served as a bridge of communication between Dikla Fagan and Dreadfan, transferring a lot of things on behalf of both parties.
This guy looked at everything he came across.
Letters, magic props, dragon inscriptions, contracts, etc. These absolutely secret and important things are all presented in the memory fragments.
Li Nuo also discovered some little secrets about Selena and learned the reason why she dated Fagan.
But that's not the point right now.
The point is, it is a sure thing that Dikla Fagan colludes with the hostile forces of the Unas Ring, the Dreadsail Pirate Nation.
He already has the potential to become a witch-level wizard criminal.
But the problem is, Li Nuo can't defeat him in a life-and-death duel.
As the fifth heir in the family, Dikla Fagan has already reached the level of a seven-ring wizard even though he is only in his mid-twenties.
This kind of wizard who has relied on a huge supply of magical elixirs and magic power has no fighting power at all, but there are many combat wizards under him who can fight on his behalf.
Li Nuo had previously said that he wanted to investigate and challenge the other party, but he was just playing into the other party's mentality. He would not challenge the other party in a life-and-death duel like he did with the fake butler.
Otherwise, the enemy he has to face is the seventh-ringed demon wizard. This demon wizard is Fagan's personal magic teacher.
Without using his trump card, Li Nuo could only defeat the opponent, but had no chance of defeating him.
In addition to the seven-ring demon wizard, Fagan may also have a family secret guard beside him. This is a ballast-like figure who will not appear easily.
Li Nuo used his "Wizard's Hand" to write several life-or-death duel application orders.
His duel targets this time were several family advisors around Fagan.
The application order was held up in the air by the "wizard's hand" and displayed to the surrounding audience. It was also clearly visible to Selena and Fagan on the second floor.
Fagan gripped the railing tightly, his fingers turned white, and his lips pursed tightly.
The originally neatly styled brown curly hair was now soaked with sweat and was sticking to his forehead, reflecting the light of the water stains.
Fagan knew what the problems were with the family consultants Li Nuo wanted to challenge, and he knew better what kind of people those family consultants were.
They are a group of mercenary guys who will willingly serve anyone as long as money and interests are used as temptation.
Fagan is using the interests of this group of people to provide helpers who can be discarded at any time for his cooperation with the Dreadsail Pirate Nation.
When the cooperation is successful, the mission of these guys will be completed.
Fagan will instruct the magician and the family's secret guards to complete the finishing work and clear up all the incongruous voices for his "lucky discovery of seabed mineral deposits through unremitting efforts."
The family advisor challenged by Lenore Jarvis will die one day, but not now, and not at the hands of Lenore Jarvis.
Everything was messed up by Lenno Jarvis. I hate him! ...Fagan's eyes burst with anger, and he slapped the railing hard, suppressing an angry roar in his throat.
Something worse happened than that.
The family advisors whose names were called by Li Nuo unexpectedly raised their hands and shouted after making eye contact with each other:
"Mr. Jarvis! I surrender!"
"Yes! I also admit defeat! You won!"
"No need to duel! You win!"
"Please do me a favor, Mr. Jarvis!"
"We are willing to use information in exchange for our lives!"
Surrender and lose half, it is a well-established rule in the wizarding world. It is also the duel rules stated in Decree No. 1.
Doing something for the winner unconditionally is what a person who surrenders or loses in a duel must do.
Li Nuo's original intention was to kill Simon first, and then use the pretense of a life-and-death duel to expand the results and get more energy points and loot rewards...
Now it seems that he has to pay the price for his greed.
Challenging multiple family advisors to a life-and-death duel in one breath had such a powerful impact on those with ulterior motives that their psychological defenses were suddenly broken and they were willing to take the initiative to confess their connections with undercurrent spies.
At this point, it would be inappropriate for Li Nuo to force the opponent into the Octagon again.
He decided to change his plan.
He first announced loudly that he accepted the duel opponent's surrender, then held the application order in his hand, shook the manuscript in his hand towards Selina, and gave a look of "you understand" from a distance of dozens of meters. .
Selena nodded slightly and turned to look at the devastated Fagan.
After the family advisor voluntarily admitted defeat, Fagan's face turned gray and his eyes entered a state of trance.
Not only Selina noticed something strange about Fagan, but everyone present noticed that he looked like he had lost his soul.
Reminiscent of what Li Nuo said before the duel, the question of "whether Master Fagan really conspired and cooperated with the undercurrent spies" became the most popular topic among the onlookers.
What follows is how to break up with Master Fagan to avoid getting into trouble and triggering an investigation by the law enforcement wizard and the Deep Sea Branch.
Some visitors don't get close to Fagan and don't have to worry about being implicated. They focused on inquiring about Li Nuo's origins, and gradually learned about Li Nuo's deeds in the past half month.
