Will what happens tonight get Li Nuo into trouble?
For example, the hostility from the Pangola family, the hatred from Master Fagan, and the hatred from the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom.
Will do.
But Li Nuo believed that as long as his strength improved quickly enough, trouble would not be able to catch up with him.
As for whether the onlookers commented positively on him or not, Li Nuo didn't even intend to listen. Because he knows deeply that in this world, a person's reputation depends entirely on his overall strength.
When Li Nuo becomes strong enough in the future, everything that happened today will naturally become a widely circulated legend. There is no need to listen to and correct other people's evaluations of themselves before they are strong enough.
Of course, the prerequisite for everything is compliance with laws and the most basic moral principles.
If a person is powerful and full of evil, then no matter how fearful the world is of this person's power, they will not give him a positive evaluation.
As for how to survive the ensuing series of revenge incidents when his strength is still insufficient, Li Nuo knows that some tricks and methods are indispensable.
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Selina on the terrace, and quietly started the next step in the plan.
He cast "Death Flight" and landed on the terrace where Selina was.
He took out the trophies left behind by the undertide spy from his magic pocket, handed them to Selina along with the life-and-death duel application order in his hand, and said without blushing and without a beating heart:
"Fortunately, Ms. Selina. Following the instructions of you and the wanted order, I have successfully uncovered the spies planted by the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom around the fifth heir of the Pangola family. With your intelligence as a guide, I Through intensive investigation work, we identified the undercurrent spies disguised as butlers and the family advisors who were secretly colluding with the undercurrent spies. I originally wanted to interrogate those family advisors in a life-and-death duel, but since they gave in, then I Let’s hand over the power to interrogate them to you and the Deep Sea Branch.”
When Li Nuo said this, Young Master Fagan was lost in thought on the terrace next door.
Fagan turned his head stiffly, his lips moved, and he raised his trembling fingers to point at Selina. His eyes were full of disbelief, and he even slipped suddenly and almost fell to the ground.
The servants who stood by his side supported him and leaned him against the railing of the terrace.
"You...you, you, you...you actually took advantage of my love for you..." Fagan looked like a person betrayed by love, his face was gray, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"Stop wishful thinking, Fagan." Li Nuo took a few steps, walked around Selina, and stood between the two of them, blocking Fagan's view.
He raised his voice to ensure that all visitors could hear:
"Ms. Selina is the vice-president of the Deep Sea Branch, a nine-ring deep sea wizard. Those who pursue her can line up from the core circle of the Suman Islands to the snowy mountains. You are just the heir of the family who was bewitched by the undercurrent spies. Even the top three No matter the ranking, how do you qualify to get Ms. Selena's love? If it weren't for investigating the shady dealings between you and the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom, Ms. Selena would not have to personally take risks to obtain first-hand information."
Li Nuo looked back at Selina behind him.
This queen-like lady always maintains an elegant and dignified posture.
She looked at Li Nuo with a hint of inexplicable fluctuations in her eyes, and then said:
"Fagan, fulfill the bet of a life-and-death duel. Hand over the contract rights of the demon wizard who fights on behalf of the undertide spy to Jarvis."
Li Nuo bowed slightly towards Selena, keeping everything in silence.
Judging from Fagan's crying performance, his feelings for Selena are real, and he truly believes that she has fallen in love with him.
After Li Nuo revealed Selina's intention of contacting him, Fagan fell into a state of despair. He couldn't even speak and could only lean on the railing and cry.
Faced with Selena's order to hand over the contract rights, Fagan did not react at all, but just stared into the distance with absent-minded eyes.
At this time, something strange happened on the terrace where Fagan was.
A figure emerged from the movement of the terrace wall.
Li Nuo stepped on it, and when everyone's attention was attracted by this sudden figure, he quietly moved behind Selina.
Selina's mouth twitched slightly. From an angle that no one else could detect, she rolled her eyes at Li Nuo, who had moved to her side...
Li Nuo was calm and composed, pretending not to notice Selina's little look in her eyes.
"Master Fagan is overworked tonight and needs to rest." The figure who appeared on the terrace ordered to the servants around him in a very calm tone:
"Send the young master to the bedroom, I will take over here."
"Yes, my lord." The male servants bowed and saluted, lifted the mud-like Fagan and left the terrace.
No one blocked his order, and Selina remained inactive.
Li Nuo carefully looked at the uninvited guest on the terrace, who was the family secret guard lurking next to Fagan.
This kind of role is usually filled by the cousin of the family heir, and he has strong fighting ability.
The person in front of me was no exception.
He was about forty or fifty years old, with short gray hair faintly visible under the brim of a black pointed wizard hat.
He was wearing a dark brown magic robe, with no special decorations on his body and looked very simple.
The information fed back by the deconstruction technique told Li Nuo that this was an eight-ring battle wizard. Theoretically, he already has the ability to kill Li Nuo instantly.
He raised his chin slightly, showing an ordinary face, and cast a scrutinizing gaze from under the brim of his hat, looking up and down at Li Nuo, who was standing behind Selina.
He raised his right hand and drew his fingertips in the air.
Li Nuo was unscathed, but the family advisors who betrayed Fagan were pierced from bottom to top by rock and earth spikes that were as fast as lightning.
Before they could scream, the ground thorns erupted with strong and short waves of rock and earth magic. In just a moment, they were transformed into clay sculptures with frightened and painful expressions.
When the evening wind blew, the clay sculptures quickly cracked and collapsed. The soil scattered all over the ground and was absorbed by the terrace floor without leaving any trace.
Killing people and silencing them, destroying corpses and eradicating traces, all in one go, without any sloppiness.
The family secret guard completed all this as if nothing had happened in front of Selina.
He put his hand into his cuff, took out a crystal and placed it on the railing of the terrace. He slightly bent towards Selena, escaped into the wall, and disappeared without a trace.
Selena took the crystal with a water belt and handed it to Li Nuo:
"This is the contract carrier of the "Guardian Demon Spirit". If you and the demon wizard hold this crystal at the same time, you can sign a new guardianship contract. After signing the contract, don't leave alone. Follow me to the academy. "
"Thank you, ma'am." Li Nuo nodded in thanks and took the crystal and flew towards the demon wizard who walked out of the magic octagonal cage.
This demon wizard had just been beaten to death by Li Nuo, and he was barely recovering from his serious injuries.
She learned what happened tonight through the log recorded in the guardian contract.
Different from the behavior of ordinary wizards, she showed no emotions such as resentment when facing Li Nuo who almost killed her.
She observed the surrounding scene with the eyes of a bystander, completely indifferent, as if the people and things around her were just bubbles to her.
Facing Li Nuo who was holding the contract carrier, she stretched out her arm, held the other person's right hand and crystal, and said calmly:
"The contract in your hand still has 15 years of guardianship left. After the contract takes effect, please give me orders according to the rules in the contract. Violating the orders of the contract will awaken my heart and wisdom. If you violate the contract many times, our relationship will be ruined." The contractual relationship between us will be automatically terminated. If you need to awaken my soul during this period, please follow the instructions in the contract. The same goes for terminating the contractual relationship and changing the guardian object. If there is no objection, please pour soul energy into the crystal."
Li Nuo sent soul energy to the crystal in his hand.
The crystal heated and vibrated slightly, then subsided and became as cold as ice.
What also lost its warmth was the eyes of the demon wizard.
As the contract came into effect, the remaining expression on her face disappeared, and she entered a sluggish state with her eyes dazed.
At the moment the contract was reached, Li Nuo received messages from the crystal and the system at the same time.
The message from the crystal is a whisper ringing in the ears, telling some spells that the contractor must know.
System messages are things like crystal panel information. This is not a good time to check them carefully.
Li Nuo discerned the whispers in his ears and found a spell that conveyed the order:
"Bukunda, Isili."
The demon wizard with empty eyes flashed with light, and like a rolled up carpet, he flew into the crystal in Li Nuo's hand with a whoosh.
Li Nuo nodded slowly and put the crystal into the pocket of his magic robe.
After the family secret guard took over the manor, he transferred another housekeeper from the island responsible for producing daily necessities and asked him to properly handle the scene, send away the guests, and close the manor.
The guests who watched the show were approached by servants and signed a magical contract not to reveal tonight's events to the public, and received hush money.
The deep sea wizards also signed this contract after dismantling the magic octagonal cage.
Li Nuo also signed this contract. But it was not the servants and housekeepers who asked him to sign, but Selina who put the contract in front of him and forced him to sign with a slight glare.
Li Nuo was very understanding and did not resist. He left his signature and took away the 10,000 gold coins he deserved as the hush fee.
After about 20 minutes, the crowd at the scene dispersed. Those who should fly away flew away, and those who should take a boat took a boat.
Li Nuo originally planned to use "Death Flight" to follow Selina to the inner circle, but who knew that the other party asked him to board the academy's magic car before leaving.
Li Nuo followed him and sat face to face with him in the back compartment with two rows of seats.
The magic car started under the control of the magic servant and slid smoothly through the night sky.
Selina crossed her arms and sat on the seat diagonally opposite Li Nuo, raising one slender leg, and the blue liquid robe on her body rippled.
She stared at Li Nuo for two or three seconds and sighed softly:
"I admit that you are very clever, Jarvis, but what you did tonight was really audacious. I know you guessed that I approached Fagan deliberately, but no matter what, you should discuss it with me first."
Li Nuo asked:
"Excuse me, what should I discuss with you first?"
"Discuss your actions tonight." Selena responded.
"Then, if I discuss it with you first, can I still act like this tonight?" Li Nuo asked again.
Selena paused for half a second:
"cannot."
"Yes, I can't. So I didn't discuss it with you." Li Nuo nodded calmly:
"Because of enough surprise, we killed the undertide spy and obtained the key evidence from him. We uncovered the family consultant who was colluding with the undertide spy, unearthed evidence of Fagan's crime, and witnessed the body mutilation of the family's secret guard. The crime of obstructing law enforcement has been eliminated, and we have found the place where the undercurrent spies deployed toxin bombs. Compared with these gains, the cost we invested tonight is nothing."
"I don't deny the gains tonight, Jarvis." Selena took a deep breath and said:
"But you should always think about your future, right? You are indeed the biggest contributor tonight, but you have also offended the Pangula family to death. Compared with the loss of mineral deposits, families like Pangula care more about Reputation and influence. We should find a more decent way to deal with Dikla Fagan’s collusion with Dreadsail.”
Li Nuo asked:
"In the manner you are talking about, does that include the trial of Dikla Fagan? I am talking about his trial in the form required by the Order of the Circle of Unas. It can be carried out by any law enforcement wizarding force, including but not Limited to "Silent Girl" and the Court of Pure Light. According to Decree No. 3, which is used to restrict the behavior of the wizard family, Dikla Fagan will face at least 20 years in prison. Will this be his final outcome? Miss"
Selena was silent for a moment:
".Ideally, he will receive the punishment he deserves."
Li Nuo took over the words:
"That means, under normal circumstances, he would be immune, right?"
Selena folded her arms and looked out the window at the sea:
"Yes."
"I think this is where our differences lie, ma'am." Li Nuo sat back on the soft car seat.
He set his sights on Selena, staring at her beautiful side face and white neck. He threw deconstruction techniques one after another, and the results of each deconstruction emerged in his mind.
Li Nuo was thoughtful after reading the interpretation of the results.
He clapped his hands and said sincerely:
"Thank you for protecting me, ma'am."
Selena tapped her chin, glanced at Li Nuo, and then turned her head toward the window:
"I did it for Erica's sake. Don't be so impulsive next time."
"Okay, I accept your suggestion." Li Nuo took out a piece of thin handmade rope from his magic pocket.
He said while winding the handmade rope with his hands and fixing it into a specific shape:
"You know, madam, before I arrived in the Suman Islands, I had been curious about the fact that the lecturer authorized the use of high-level spells. As a person with "Magic Proficiency", it is difficult for me to understand that casting spells requires authorization from others. thing.
"After I came to the Suman Islands, I spent a lot of time studying the dragon treasures thrown out from the Whirling Continent. I also communicated with fellow enthusiasts and found some information that sounded quite credible."
"Yeah." Selena hummed perfunctorily.
Li Nuo continued to knit the knots in his hands:
"Before the beginning of this era, this world was controlled by the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan is an extraordinary race with strict hierarchies. In order to firmly control the power of magic, the Dragon Clan created a world wonder called the "Ascension Fortress".
"The "Promotion Fortress" occupies a vast area, towers into the clouds, and looks like a tower. It is divided into ten floors from bottom to top, and the area of each floor is comparable to ten human cities. An ocean of magical knowledge is stored within the fortress. The Dragon Clan has divided different knowledge storage areas on each level according to the purpose of magic knowledge. The higher the level, the greater the power contained in magical knowledge.
"The magical knowledge in Ascension Bastion exists in mysterious form. Rumor has it that it comes from an even older era. But no matter what, it cannot change one fact:
"That is, only by having the authority to enter the higher floors of the "Ascension Fortress" can you learn the magical knowledge and then control more powerful magic. Have you heard any rumors about this, madam? "
"Yes, there is such a saying." Selina responded coldly.
Li Nuo finished his handiwork and looked at the knots he had knitted.
He was not disgusted by Selena's coldness, but continued:
"As far as I know, the "Fortress of Ascension" has been destroyed in the doomsday catastrophe. But the magical knowledge in it has been passed down, floating in this world in an inexplicable form. Some people think that the act of us wizards inventing spells is actually a 'discovery' rather than an 'invention'. All magic existed in the world long before it was 'invented' by wizards, and we wizards are just the 'discoverers'.
"The magical knowledge to cast spells comes from the "Ascension Fortress" that has lost its physical form. Not only was the magical knowledge completely preserved from the doomsday disaster, it also inherited the 'reading authority' imposed on it by the Dragon Clan. Only those who meet the 'reading requirements' can obtain 'reading permissions' and create spells with bursts of inspiration, or learn spells with sudden enlightenment.
"Do you agree with this view, ma'am?"
Li Nuo sat up straight, holding the knot in his hand, and looked at Selena with a smile.
Selena tapped her chin:
"Partially agreed."
Well, I partially agree. Li Nuo knew this was the answer, because what he just dictated was extracted from the other party's memory fragments.
As for the knot he is holding in his hand now...
Li Nuo said:
"I found a very interesting dragon pattern, but I never quite understood its meaning. In return for protecting me, I will give this pattern to you."
"No, sorry, I'm not interested in dragon patterns." Selena looked out the window and responded without looking back.
"You will be interested." Li Nuo flicked his wrist, threw the knotted knot away, and used the "Wizard's Hand" to hold it in front of the opponent.
Selena wanted to sweep the knot away with her hands, but her eyes inadvertently touched the knot, and her delicate body trembled as if she was electrocuted:
"This...this is..."
Selina seemed to have seen some incredible symbol, her fingers trembled slightly, she held the knot between her fingertips, and her eyes couldn't stop flashing.
"As you can see, this is a dragon rune, ma'am. It is said that it can guide one to gain floor access to the Fortress of Ascension. I'm not sure if it's true. Li Nuo said.
"Where did you find this dragon rune?" Selina pinched the knot, her voice trembling with excitement.
Li Nuo looked at her calmly and answered the question:
"Selena, you and I both know in our hearts that if it hadn't been for my actions tonight, you would have agreed to Dicra Fagan's proposal and you would have become his wife. You already knew that he was cooperating with Terror Sail..."
Li Nuo's words surprised Selena.
Apparently Li Nuo revealed her deepest secret.
Her right hand holding the knot made a clicking sound, and she tried her best to suppress the surprise in her heart.
Li Nuo took a look at the "hatred value" of the "source of rebirth magic power" and found that it had not increased. He was quite accurate in judging people, and Selina did not have any thoughts of killing.
In this case, let's use the memory fragments deconstructed from the undercurrent spy to reach a solid cooperative relationship with Selena.
Thanks to Undertide Spy, for carefully observing everything he handles.
The dragon inscription that appeared in the undercurrent spy's memory was what Fagan used to lure Selina into marrying him.
The content recorded on these inscriptions is exactly the training content of Selena's meditation method "Surge Tide" at the tenth level.
Without this content guidance, Selena and other deep sea wizards would never be able to advance to the tenth level.
It can be said that if Li Nuo had not tormented Feigen tonight, Selina would have sacrificed herself for the future of the Deep Sea Branch and married Feigen, who was many years younger than herself, in exchange for ten years of "Surge Tide" The training content of the ring stage.
Such a person has a soft and tough heart. Even if she was "misunderstood" by Li Nuo before, she would keep her grievances and secrets in her heart and bear them silently.
Selena met all of Li Nuo's criteria for choosing a partner.
Li Nuo smiled gently:
"The reason why you are willing to become Fagan's wife is because of the dragon inscriptions in Qinfan's hands.
"Don't let yourself get lost in the pursuit of magical power, lady.
“What Fagan has, I have too, and I don’t need you to offer me your purity before I can pass them on to you.
“But…power comes at a price.
"You must sign a soul contract with me. The content of the contract is very simple. During my stay in the Suman Islands, you will provide shelter for my legal actions and strictly guard all my secrets, while I will guide you The path to promotion to the Ten Rings of Deep Sea Witch.
"You can share the content of the meditation method recorded in the Dragon Clan inscription with your colleagues, but only with my consent."
Li Nuo took a breather and gave Selena, who was deep in thought, some time to think:
".So, do you want to make a soul contract with me?"
Selina opened her right hand, and the knot in her hand was deformed by her pinching.
She pursed her full lips and looked up at Li Nuo:
"What is your origin? "The remnant of the Dragon Clan"? "
"No." Li Nuo shook his head slightly, activated "Telepathy", and brought a critical blow to Selena's mind:
"I am an observer looking down on the extraordinary road, a shadow that absorbs extraordinary knowledge, and the ultimate buyer of all extraordinary results (Note ①). I will only appear in front of noble, dignified souls full of thirst for knowledge. You are lucky, Madam, I appreciate your courage to sacrifice yourself for the future of the college. You meet the conditions for entering into a soul contract with me."
Selena's pupils suddenly contracted!
The spiritual voice that suddenly sounded in Selena's heart shocked her deeply.
For her, a nine-ring wizard, it is inevitable to wear mind-protecting items for a long time.
She grabbed her collar and tightened her grip on the magic pendant buried under her robe.
The cold pendant didn't move at all.
"It's unbelievable. Your mind magic actually penetrated my protection... If you cast other mind spells on me..." Selina couldn't help but shudder, unable to imagine the scene of "mind control" in her body.
"Shh..." Li Nuo raised his finger in front of his mouth to signal the other party to be silent, and then pointed to his heart.
Selena immediately stopped talking.
She bit her lip and nodded.
There was silence in the magic car, and the two people communicated deeply with their eyes and the language of their hearts.
