Suman Islands, Core Circle, Deep Sea Branch, in Selina's study.
This place is more like a vast magic laboratory than a study.
The castle of the Deep Sea Branch is built on a mountain about a thousand meters above sea level. It has three main towers and more than ten auxiliary towers.
Selina's study is located on the top of a main tower. It has a hemispherical stone dome, large windows, a spacious balcony, and a bright and gentle magic chandelier.
Above the dark blue carpet in the house, a few meters away from the ground, there are more than a dozen spherical miniature oceans with a diameter of more than one meter suspended.
The miniature ocean looks like a big water ball with constant ripples on the surface and light black fish shadows swimming under the water.
Beneath the many miniature oceans, Selena closed her eyes, half-lying on the soft sofa, supporting her head with her right hand, seemingly falling into a deep sleep.
Opposite her, Li Nuo was using "spiritual indoctrination" to teach her the dragon inscriptions deconstructed from the undercurrent spies.
This inscription has a total of more than 6,000 words, all written in dragon runes.
On the basis of having reached a flawless soul contract with Selina, Li Nuo thoughtfully provided translation services for the other party, saving the other party from the trouble of translating the dragon runes in meditation.
The process of imparting knowledge through "spiritual indoctrination" is relatively long.
It took about half an hour for Li Nuo to finish transmitting the dragon inscription.
While maintaining the spell-casting state, he mentally counted his gains tonight.
The first is the hidden knowledge about "spellcasting authority".
The "Fortress of Promotion" that Li Nuo discussed with Selena before came from Selena's memory fragments.
The "Ascension Fortress" did exist, and this part can be proved by the historical documents of the Dragon Clan.
Today, the "Fortress of Promotion" has disappeared from this world. High-level wizards like Selina speculate that the Whirling Continent is the remains of the "Ascension Fortress".
They also believe that the disappearance of the "Fortress of Promotion" is just the loss of its physical form, and that the entire "Fortress of Promotion" exists in this world in a mysterious and unpredictable form.
The rules for accessing each level of "Ascension Fortress" are preserved along with the magical knowledge within the fortress.
This speculation is "a conclusion drawn from the phenomenon."
The basis for this theory by high-level wizards is:
Wizards who have not reached the seventh level cannot cast high-level spells.
To be precise:
Wizards who have not practiced meditation to the seventh level cannot cast high-level spells.
Meditation is access to all levels of "Ascension Fortress".
As many levels of meditation as you have practiced, you can access as many levels of the "Ascension Fortress".
Wizards who are less than the seventh level do not have permission to access the seventh level of the "Ascension Fortress", so they cannot mobilize the magic knowledge therein and cast high-level spells.
Regarding this speculation, the lecturers have done some very abstract experiments.
The threshold for becoming a lecturer professor is the seventh ring.
They use two different methods to authorize the use of high-level spells to their students.
First way:
The professor in charge draws up a temporary magic contract, naming himself as the party A who lends the spells, and the borrower of the spells as the party B.
He wrote in the magic contract: "I lend Party B the right to use a certain spell, and Party B pays me a certain amount of magic power before each use."
Magic contracts written in this format can take effect normally, and Party B temporarily obtains the right to use high-level spells.
In the second way of writing, the lecturer professor modified some wording.
He wrote:
I lend Party B the authority to access certain high-level spells on the seventh floor of "Ascension Fortress". Party B needs to pay me a certain number of magic points each time he visits.
In this format of magic contract, there is no mention of "the right to use high-level spells", but only "the right to access specific spells on the seventh level of "Ascension Fortress"".
Can this magical contract take effect?
The answer is that it can take effect, and the effect is exactly the same as the first type of magic contract, without any difference.
The teaching professors changed the wording again, using words such as "stones", "flowers and grass", "Hotams", "Cahir Continent", etc. to replace the "promotion fortress" in the second magic contract. For example, "I lend Party B the permission to access certain high-level spells on the seventh level of Mangy Dog."
After changing the wording like this, the magic contract did not take effect.
This shows that the wizard's spellcasting authority comes from the "Ascension Fortress". This secret is only known to wizards of the seventh ring and above, and has not been widely circulated.
But... where is the "Ascension Fortress"?
have no idea.
It disappears.
It lost its physical form and existed in the world in a weird form. It always restricted wizards' ability to cast spells and acquire magical knowledge, and became an existence similar to "world rules".
But this does not prevent the wizards from collecting all the dragon manuscripts thrown out from the Whirling Continent and studying the access rights of the "Ascension Fortress".
Li Nuo is also curious about the "Fortress of Promotion".
Considering that the wizard speculated that the whirling continent was the ruins of the "Ascension Fortress", he decided to find an opportunity to take a look at the rumored whirling continent and dig out the dragon treasures in the blue hole.
Putting "Ascension Fortress" aside for the moment, Li Nuo dug out tonight's system messages.
The demon wizard who fought in place of the fake butler was named Eve Mastin.
After Li Nuo completed her passive deconstruction, he received a reward of 61,000 energy points, and the level of "Evocation Magic" was +1, which is now level 8.
When Li Nuo dueled with her, he innovatively used ten fingers as a spell-casting medium. This is the method of casting spells that he figured out after mastering "Magic Control Mastery".
Li Nuo couldn't do this kind of operation before, but after becoming familiar with the way magic energy flows in the body, he can now accurately arrange the path of magic energy.
In time, if he counts all his fingers and toes, he can cast 20 "Two Fingers of Death" at the same time.
Of course, the sight of using the tips of your toes to cast spells is too "beautiful", so Li Nuo has no plans to do so for the time being.
After defeating Eve Mastin, he defeated the Undertide Spy and received 156,000 energy points as a reward.
In addition to this amount of energy, questions such as "Where did the undertide spy bury the toxin bomb?" and "Why did the undertide spy choose Fagan as a partner?" Li Nuo is also in the other party's memory fragments. Found the answer.
The soul contract reached between Li Nuo and Selina included the contract content of handing over this part of the information.
As a price for acquiring knowledge and intelligence, Selina will endorse all of Li Nuo's legal actions in the days to come. Not to mention waving flags, but standing on the sidelines and calling, she must at least express her support for Li Nuo in writing.
In this way, Li Nuo can blame Selina for all the sources of unknown information. Accordingly, Selena must strictly keep all Li Nuo's secrets according to the requirements of the soul contract, and properly handle all doubts.
It can be said that with this contract in place, Li Nuo can just wander around the Suman Islands reasonably and legally in the future.
As long as he does not violate the laws of the Unas Ring, he can go full throttle, step on the accelerator, drive like crazy, and use all efficient and legal methods to get what he wants without any worries.
This kind of life has always been what Li Nuo wanted. Thanks to the dignified and elegant Ms. Selena for helping him realize this dream.
After checking tonight's system messages, Li Nuo clicked on his personal panel.
【Soul Strength】4102
[Energy value] 221233/72 (40+32)
[Energy value reserve] 120,000 points
He ate and drank wildly at the banquet, ate magical food, and gained 120,000 energy points.
Passively deconstructing Eve Mastin and getting more than 60,000.
Passively deconstructed the undercurrent spy and gained nearly 160,000 energy points.
Before entering the reception room and meeting the fake butler, he used the magic gadget in his magic pocket to obtain energy points, which reduced his energy reserve. This part of the energy was used by him to deconstruct the six-ring demon wizard.
When deconstructing Selena on the magic car, he consumed more than 100,000 energy points.
The soul fragments collected from the corpses of undertide spies are about 140 points.
When drawing up the soul contract, more than 300 points of soul strength were consumed.
Adding the "Soul Sensing" function to the soul contract consumes a thousand points of soul strength.
The range of "soul induction" is related to the "spiritual" attribute value of both parties to the contract, and is calculated based on the higher "spiritual" value of the two.
Selena's "Spirit" is 299 points, so the range of "Soul Sensing" between Li Nuo and her is 309 kilometers, that is, 299 kilometers plus the 10 kilometers that comes with "Soul Sensing".
Judging from the energy value inventory, Li Nuo has entered a state where the energy value has exploded and the reserve is slightly insufficient.
There is an urgent need for him to use the "Metal Fusion" meditation method to convert energy values into basic attributes.
Speaking of meditation, Li Nuo suddenly remembered something.
His great success tonight is inseparable from his identity as a "first-ring wizard".
In other words, it is inseparable from the legal loopholes of the Unas Ring.
According to the existing rules, Li Nuo's "Spirit" is 40 points. When using magic to detect it, 40 points of light will be reflected. He is a standard first-level wizard.
But if divided according to actual combat power, then he is undoubtedly close to the sixth-ring battle wizard.
It was this mismatch between the hierarchy in the legal sense and the real combat strength that created an opportunity for Li Nuo to take advantage of the "life and death duel".
If one day, Unas Ring changes the content of Decree No. 1 and changes the rules of "life and death duel" from "high-level wizards cannot challenge low-level wizards" to "high-level wizards" You can't challenge wizards with low combat effectiveness", then Li Nuo can't take advantage of it.
But Li Nuo estimated that it would be difficult for the Unas Ring to make such modifications.
Because a wizard's combat effectiveness is difficult to measure.
After all, this world is not a game world, and there is no such thing as "combat power 5".
Therefore, Li Nuo concluded that he could continue to exploit loopholes within the foreseeable future.
As a first-level wizard, he used the name of life-and-death duel to punish those who were actually wizard criminals, or to kill enemies lurking among normal humans.
As long as the law remains unchanged, his "table-turning" behavior can continue.
It is very simple to control the level to one level. Just do not practice meditation methods that will increase "spirit".
What Li Nuo cares about is how to have the strength of a ten-ring combat wizard without increasing his "spirit".
The combat power provided by the level 100 "Two Fingers of Death" is no longer enough. Even if he uses his fingers and toes to cast this spell, it is at most equivalent to a sixth-level combat wizard.
With the skill level locked at level 100, Li Nuo had to find another way.
Li Nuo thought for a while and decided to find time to ask Professor Erica tomorrow. It would be great if she had real data on the magical power of the ten-ring wizard.
In addition, he felt that he needed to use his brain to lower the production threshold of the meta-reactor. This thing could directly provide him with huge lightning energy and enhance his combat effectiveness.
Making a meta-reactor wasn't his only option, either.
After consuming a lot of energy, he might be able to use "Evocation" to create even greater magic.
For example, put death energy and water elemental energy together and activate "Evocation" on them.
In any case, if Li Nuo wants to increase his combat power while maintaining the first level, he will definitely need a huge amount of energy.
From this, Li Nuo began to think about how to deconstruct the "sea area" and pocket those hundreds of millions of energy points.
Time passed as he maintained "spiritual indoctrination", and all kinds of strange and weird ideas emerged in his mind.
After about 30 minutes, the "spiritual indoctrination" ended.
Li Nuo breathed a long sigh of relief, stopped casting spells, and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.
Selena murmured, opened her eyes, thought about the dragon inscriptions and translations in her mind, and then looked at Li Nuo sitting opposite.
"Thank you." Selina's tone was sincere, her beautiful eyes twinkling, feeling that the wizard in front of her was full of mystery:
"I admire your attainments in spiritual magic. I am almost intoxicated by the dragon runes and translations you gave me... Can I obtain other knowledge from you in the future?"
Li Nuo said:
"When the time is right, of course you can, Selina. As long as you can follow the instructions in the soul contract and help me protect the secret, I think we will meet in this study often."
"Okay..." Selena tapped her chin lightly, her eyes filled with anticipation, and asked again:
"Who exactly are you? Jarvis. Does your companion witch, Dinath, know what's unique about you?"
"I'm not special, Selina. There are many "hidden wizards" like me traveling around the world. "Li Nuo brought out the words he had already compiled:
"The difference between me and them is that I care more about order, and I know how to legally use order to get what I want, and at the same time save some helpless souls from the brink of danger. Dinas knows that I She chose to trust me unconditionally. I hope you do the same, just treat me as a trustworthy person and don't ask about my origins. You should have heard of the name of the hidden wizard, right?"
With a smile on his face, Li Nuo weaved the knowledge he gained from the other person's memory fragments into his own story on the spot and told it to the other person.
Li Nuo can be sure that this kind of wording that is now learned, used, and made up is enough to make Selina convinced of his origins.
With the identity of a hidden wizard, Li Nuo can explain many, many things.
Sure enough, just as Li Nuo expected, Selina nodded slowly after listening to Li Nuo's words and accepted the remarks naturally.
"Yes, I know about the existence of hidden wizards. It is said that they live further east of the Unas Circle. They are far more knowledgeable and wise than the wizards and gray wizards in the Unas Circle...
"I originally thought that this statement made no sense, because no one has ever seen a real hidden wizard. But I have changed my mind now. The hidden wizard is indeed a powerful and mysterious existence."
Li Nuo looked at the night sky outside the house:
"Okay, Selina, that's all for today. In front of outsiders, you are still my immediate boss, and I am still the one who received your instructions and used the information and magic props you provided to efficiently complete various tasks. A law enforcement wizard with bounties and wanted orders.”
"Okay, I'll take you out." Selena smoothed the liquid skirt on her buttocks and stood up.
Li Nuo shook his hand and said:
"No, Selina, I can just go out by myself. I still have some things to do tonight. I want to take Dinath to the stone house in the inner circle that I rented, and then arrange some welcomes in the houses in the inner circle." Guests' little things…”
Li Nuo said as he walked towards the stairwell connected to the study.
Before opening the wooden door of the stairwell, he turned his head, looked at Selina who was following behind, and warned again:
"Never show your special attention to me in front of outsiders."
"Yes, I understand. I will strictly abide by the soul contract."
Selena bowed to Li Nuo, who was decades younger than her.
Her eyes were slightly red for no reason, and there was obvious choking in her voice:
"Thank you again for your help to me. I almost became the wife of a criminal in order to obtain the ten-ring meditation method..."
Li Nuo nodded slightly, opened the door, and left the place, leaving behind the cry of joy behind the door.
Walking down the spiral staircase, Li Nuo suddenly laughed.
Hey, don't mention it, the hidden wizard information deconstructed from Selina is indeed very useful.
Moreover, I have basically formed a fixed routine for tricking people into signing soul contracts with me in the future.
First, find out those wizards who endured hardships in order to obtain secret knowledge, and determine whether their character and philosophy of life meet your requirements.
Then, use deconstruction to accurately identify their real needs, and use psychic magic to be immune to backlash to directly hit their hearts.
Then, he uses his identity as a hidden wizard to explain his origins, creates a mysterious and knowledgeable image, and then reaches a soul contract with the other party.
Using such a process, Li Nuo was able to reach soul contracts with powerful wizards one after another.
Li Nuo rubbed his chin, wondering if he should ask Selina to borrow some money and forcefully use the "Metal Fusion" meditation method.
After thinking about it again, Li Nuo smiled to himself.
forget it.
Li Nuo had just reached a soul contract of mutual help with someone, and turned around and asked the other person to borrow 1.8 million. Li Nuo always felt like he was defrauding someone in the name of the person he was talking to...
Besides, he is not short of money now.
What he lacks is hundreds of millions of energy points.
There is no need to compromise your image in Selena's mind just for some small money.
The top priority is to obtain energy points as soon as possible and use "Evocation" to create spells and meta-reactors to increase one's combat effectiveness.
Looking back on tonight's experience in the manor, Li Nuo slowed down a little, his eyes became deep, and he thought to himself:
"The family secret guards around Dicra Fagan are not simple. Not to mention that he already possesses the strength of an eighth-ring combat wizard. He killed those family advisers in front of Selina, which is enough to show that he is A man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
"Selena is the deputy dean, and the family secret guards dare not touch her. But for a first-level law enforcement wizard like me, the family secret guards have no reason to be afraid of me. Even if I use Selena's name to protect myself , this guy will definitely use insidious means to deal with me.
“There is a 100% possibility that the family guards will get rid of me, it’s just a matter of time.
“If you don’t get rid of me, others will follow suit and step on the Pangula family in the same way.
"In order to scare the monkeys, the family secret guard must kill me. In this case, the house I asked Dinasi to buy in the inner circle can be put to use..."
