The past series of reconnaissance and combat work lasted about eight hours.
I am a little tired mentally and physically, and consume a lot of energy, but fortunately, the various gains are very good.
When Li Nuo upgraded "Perceptual Tampering" and "Psychic Bombing" from level 40 to level 100, he consumed a total of 41,700 energy points twice.
When raising "Perception Enhancement" from level 1 to level 100, he consumed another 49,500 energy points.
Including the consumption of deconstructing Pulin, the Demonic Brain Parasite, and the two retainer wizards, Li Nuo spent a total of 367,000 energy points today.
A considerable part of the consumption was replaced by Li Nuo's energy reserve. This squeezed out all the gadgets in his magic pocket.
The good news is that when killing enemies and absorbing the "source of rebirth magic", Li Nuo successfully triggered passive deconstruction.
He replenished all the energy he had consumed and did not fall into a situation where there was no energy available.
[Soul Strength] 10235 points
[Energy Value] 710,000/70 (40+30)
[Energy value reserve] 10,000
The explosive increase in energy value and soul strength made Li Nuo satisfied.
He was one step closer to his goal of killing the Ten Ring Wizard instantly.
Li Nuo reached into his magic pocket and quickly sorted out the trophies found on the four criminals.
The meditation methods and spell books of the wizard force "Immortal Metal", these two things come from the metal wizard Pulin who ruined his companion witch.
Li Nuo used deconstruction to break the magic lock on the book, and obtained the harmlessly deconstructed metal meditation method "Metal Immortality" and a spell blueprint that matched the meditation method - "Metal Revitalization".
The "Metal Immortality" meditation method can improve "tenacity", "will" and "spirit". Its effect is to allow the meditator to transform flesh and blood into cheap magic metal - magic iron.
The converted magic iron can be used to create metal magic creations like normal magic metal.
You can also use the "Metal Revitalization" spell to give it activity and be absorbed by wizards who practice the "Metal Immortality" meditation method.
The absorbed magic metal will form a hard block of magic metal in the body part designated by the wizard.
The more you absorb, the more lumps you get.
If this continues, most of the body can be transformed into magic metal.
The meditation method and "Metal Revitalization" spell that Li Nuo obtained were only 10% complete.
The consumption of meditation and spell casting is very high, 10 times that of normal conditions, and the actual effect is also greatly reduced.
Li Nuo thought for a while and had no idea of practicing these two things.
At least not yet.
When he needs to face a situation that flesh and blood cannot bear in the future, he should consider the "Metal Immortality" meditation method and the "Metal Revitalization" spell.
Continue to sort out the loot.
The demon brain parasite has no magic books and nothing of value.
Two of Fagan's retainers were extremely wealthy.
Li Nuo was dazzled by the gold coins, jewelry, magic gadgets, letters, magic books, magic elixirs, etc.
"Sure enough, a horse won't get fat without night grass, and a man won't get rich without windfall. After killing these two retainers, my wallet is bulging again~~"
Li Nuo happily swept the valuables of the two retainers into his magic pocket.
Including their belongings, Li Nuo got 350,000 gold coins from the four criminals today, as well as various magic props worth 500,000 gold coins.
Leave the matter of saving money to Dinah.
Li Nuo put the gold coins into a separate coin bag.
Among the various magic props, the ones with higher value that could be exchanged for money were also thrown into the coin bag by Li Nuo.
Those props that were of low value and difficult to cash in were put into the magic pocket by Li Nuo and became part of the "energy value reserve".
As a result, the "energy value reserve" increased to 160,000.
Li Nuo put the bulging coin bag aside and took out the magic books of the two retainers.
The first retainer wiped out by Li Nuo only had the sixth ring strength.
The magic books he mastered are highly overlapped with those of Festa of the Seven Rings, and are not as complete as the latter.
Li Nuo put away his magic books and deconstructed the two books in Festa's hands alone.
【system information:】
[You spent 150,000 points of energy to break the magic locks of two magic books, and launched a harmless deconstruction of the contents in the books. 】
[You have obtained the following decomposition results:]
[1. Panel information of two magic books. 】
[2. The Pangola family's meditation method "Shaking the Earth", with a completeness of 15%, covers all training content from wizard apprentice to the seventh ring stage. 】
[3. There are six rock and soil spell blueprints of the Pangola family, with completeness ranging from 10% to 20%. They are:]
["Spell Blueprint: Rock Shield", completeness 20%]
["Spell Blueprint: Advanced Rock Cage", completeness 10%]
["Spell Blueprint: Stone Spirit Summoning Technique", completeness 20%]
["Spell Blueprint: Mountain Falling Technique", completeness 10%]
["Spell Blueprint: Earthquake", completeness 10%]
["Spell Blueprint: Detecting Rock and Soil Energy", completeness 20%]
Li Nuo spread out the six spell blueprints in front of him and looked at them carefully.
After about 5 minutes, he learned the six spell blueprints with a smile and added them to his spell list.
These six spells are all from the rock and earth system, and they are all high-level spells.
Due to their low completeness, their spells consume a lot of money and their effects are compromised, and half of the spells require the help of the earth to achieve.
Li Nuo does not plan to study them in the near future, and will wait until the need arises in the future.
In addition to the magic books, Li Nuo's biggest gain is the knowledge and memory gained from passive deconstruction.
After killing four criminals, the system sent a lot of messages.
The level of "Evocation Magic" is +5 levels and is now level 13. Other knowledge and skills have been improved.
The new knowledge skill "Geomagic" is now level 7.
In the future, when Li Nuo deconstructs things related to rock and soil magic, he will be able to enjoy a discount on the deconstruction consumption.
"Linguistics of the Demon Brain Tribe", level 2.
This is a special language used by the Demon Brain Tribe, and each character looks twisted like a slug.
"Metal Magic" is now level 3. This is the product of killing Pulin.
"Pangola Family Runes", level 15.
Before the battle, Li Nuo used deconstruction to learn this level 7 skill from Festa.
After killing the opponent, passive deconstruction helped Li Nuo upgrade his skills to level 15.
Similar to how "Necromantic Runes" can strengthen the death shield, this rune can be used to strengthen the giant rock shield.
At this point, the gold coins, magic books and knowledge skills have been counted.
Li Nuo called up the memory fragments of the four criminals in his mind, and while reading the memories, he waited for Selina to clean up the battlefield.
Li Nuo had already read the memory fragments of the demon brain parasite, the metal wizard Pulin, and the six-ring retainer.
Now he is focusing on the seven-ring battle wizard Festa.
As Young Master Fagan's personal butler, Festa can be said to be very familiar with Fagan's living habits and behavior.
Indulging in wealth, reveling in pleasure, manipulating behind the scenes, and colluding with criminals, Festa did not directly participate in Fagan's work, but he watched what happened like a bystander and remembered it in his heart.
From which celebrity Fagan secretly invited to his home as a guest, to what color pants Fagan plans to wear tomorrow, all this information is presented in Festa's memory.
This includes Fagan's plans for the next ten days, as well as the competition and cooperation between Fagan and other heirs.
When Li Nuo read this part, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes flickering, and he benefited a lot.
He found a lot of useful information.
The Pangola family currently has 25 heirs, from five different family branches.
The 1st to 3rd heirs are members of the Mute branch.
The 4th to 12th heirs come from the Fagan branch where Dikla Fagan is located.
Dikla Fagan is the fifth in line of succession, and the fourth in line of succession ahead of him is his father, Fagan Pangula.
If Dikla Fagan dies, the head of the family will select an heir from the other heirs of the Fagan branch according to the order of succession within the family branch, and assign the party to come to the Suman Islands to take over Dikla Fagan’s legacy. The position of manager.
Only when Fagan's father, the fourth-ranked heir, gave up taking over Dikla Fagan's position as the manager of the Suman Islands, did the sixth to 12th-ranked heirs have the opportunity to take over.
When the 6th to 12th heirs give up, it will be the turn of the 13th to 25th heirs.
In other words, after Li Nuo kills Dikla Fagan, there is a high probability that he will attract Dikla's father, Fagan Pangula.
Judging from the contents of Festa's memory, Fagan Pangula has entered the holy stage and became an eighth-ring rock and earth wizard.
He is not a battle wizard, but he is accompanied by at least four eighth-ring battle wizards.
If he succeeds Dikla Fagan as the manager of the Suman Islands, Li Nuo will be in trouble.
Holy wizards are much more difficult to deal with than high-level wizards of the sixth and seventh rings.
If Li Nuo wants to kill them, he must use his trump cards such as "Thunder Cloud Technique" and Yuan Reactor.
Taking a longer view, Li Nuo had to prepare countermeasures in advance to deal with Fagan Pangula.
"You really hit the younger one, and then the older one comes."
Li Nuo sighed silently.
He is not too worried about Fagan Pongula replacing Dikla Fagan.
Fagan Pangola is currently the head of the Pangola family in the "Scorched Rock Platform". He has a large area of scorched rock veins that produce fire magic and rock and soil magic that need to be managed.
The "Scorched Rock Terrace" is full of open-air high-grade mineral veins, making it a real treasure.
Unless Fagan Pangola lost his mind, he would never give up his position as the manager of "Scorched Rock Terrace" and become the manager here in the Suman Islands.
In Li Nuo's opinion, it should be Dikla Fagan's younger brother and sister who came to the Suman Islands to succeed him as the leader.
"Is there a possibility that through operation, I can make Xi'an become the only Pangula family manager in the Suman Islands? This situation is the most powerful for me. Once successful, I will not only expand myself The influence within the Pangola family can also share the pressure from the Fagan branch with Xi'an."
The more Li Nuo thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was possible.
As a mature and stable time traveler, it is necessary for him to prepare the funeral arrangements in advance for his opponent, Master Fagan.
These include how to reduce the consequences caused by the death of the opponent, and how to deal with the vacancy left by the opponent as the family leader.
Only by taking one step and looking at three steps can we control the direction of things.
"Crash~" A faint sound of water came from the nearby sea.
Selena floated up from the nearby sea water:
"Jarvis, all traces of the battle have been cleaned up."
Li Nuo came back to his senses and said to the other party:
"Thank you, Selena. Wait a minute, I have something else to bring."
Li Nuo asked Selena to follow him, flew to where the gray metal box was, and dug the box out of the soil.
"What is this?" Selina frowned slightly.
She detected faint signs of life from the box, as well as vague fluctuations of reincarnation magic and metal magic.
"Pulin's companion witch." Li Nuo took out the cloth package, put the box in, and carried it with him:
"Let's go back. Go directly to your study to discuss the follow-up matters. By the way, let's go underwater."
"Okay, I have a way to enter my study directly from the magic ocean current. Come with me."
Selina withdrew her thoughtful gaze from the metal box and summoned a water curtain to wrap herself and Li Nuo.
The water curtain penetrates into the sea water and swims quickly under the surface of the water.
On the east side of the Suman Islands, this remote and uninhabited corner finally ushered in the silence it deserved.
In the core of the Suman Islands, in Selina's study.
The study, with its hemispherical dome, occupies a vast area.
A few meters above the floor, many spherical miniature oceans are suspended.
"Wow!"
There are a lot of waves on a miniature ocean near the desk.
Amidst the churning of the sea water, a curtain of water emerged from the miniature ocean and landed on the soft carpet.
The water curtain retracts the miniature ocean without leaving any water stains on the ground.
Two figures appeared in the study, it was Li Nuo and his two men who had returned from the east side of the Suman Islands.
"Selena, give me some time." Li Nuo patted the cloth bag that wrapped the metal box:
"I want to get this poor reborn witch settled first. Do you mind if I summon Dinath?"
While Selena controlled the "Wizard's Hand" to prepare tea and desserts, she shook her head slightly and said:
"If you please, Jarvis."
After Li Nuo got Selina's permission, he activated the "soul induction" between himself and Dinas in his heart.
He first assured the cute little witch that he was safe, and then told the other party what happened to Pulin's companion witch.
After listening to Li Nuo's narration, Dinasi immediately teleported over in the flickering light of the fire.
After a brief greeting to Selina, she took the metal box from Li Nuo with slightly trembling hands, with lament and tears in her eyes:
"It's Latifah. It's definitely Latifah. Damn it, Prin turned her into a monster."
"You know her?"
Li Nuo faced Dinasi with red eyes and felt a little regret in his heart.
Maybe he shouldn't have told him about Pulin.
Li Nuo put his arm around Dinasi's shoulders and comforted her warmly.
Dinas leaned on his shoulder like a wounded kitten, wetting Li Nuo's neck and collar with tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
Selena stood by with a concerned look on her face.
After a few minutes of comfort, Dinas calmed down and told the story of her acquaintance with the reincarnated witch named Latifah.
When Dinas was brought into the Unas Circle by the "Lamp of the Reborn" and became a wizard apprentice, Latifah, as her senior sister, was already a first-circle reborn witch.
The number of reborn witch students is small, generally no more than 10.
They call each other sisters and live carefree under the protection of the "lamp".
It was at that time that Dinas formed a deep friendship with the other wizard students.
After Latifah became a three-ring reborn witch, she followed the requirements of the "Lamp" and began to travel around the world to find her contractor.
Until Latifah signed a contract with Prin, Dinas often met her in the sub-plane of "Lamp".
The last time Dinas met Latifah was the day before Latifah signed the contract with Prin.
Latifah said that she had met a contractor she could rely on, and the other party promised to take her to see the alien sky after she had a good sleep.
Dinas wished the other party from the bottom of her heart.
Since then, Latifa has not been heard from.
Dinas asked "Lamp" about Latifah's movements.
"Deng"'s reply always only consisted of these four words: "She is still alive."
This is the moment when Dinas sees Latifah again.
The former senior sister turned into a monster in a metal box. Such a huge psychological gap was like a heavy blow to Dinasi's heart.
But crying doesn't solve the problem.
Now the thing to consider is how to settle Latifah in the box.
Li Nuo asked this question after Dinas barely calmed down.
Should Latifah be freed from a closed mind, or should she be resurrected with a resurrection spell?
Dinasi took this question and asked her professor.
The professor asked her to make her own decision.
Dinas was in a dilemma when faced with this reply.
Latifah, who was in a closed state of mind, entered a deep sleep and lost her ability to perceive and think about the outside world.
Just as Pulin promised her, if everything goes well, she will have the opportunity to see the scene of the alien sky after waking up. At that time, Pulin was already a star witch.
But now, Pulin is dead and Latifah is still sleeping.
It might have been cruel to bring Latifah back to life, to awaken her mind and tell her what was happening to her.
The reason why this is "possibly" a cruel approach is because Li Nuo and Dinas cannot be sure whether Latifah actively asked Pulin to transform herself into a monster.
There is a very small probability that after Latifah wakes up, not only will she not thank Li Nuo and Dinas, but she will also blame them for killing her contractors, interrupting her sleep, and leaving her without a trace. I can see the alien sky and feel hatred in my heart.
This possibility is not impossible.
According to Dinas, Latifah signed a contract with Prine during the stage of passionate love.
In her love brain state, she might have accepted Pulin's plan without even thinking about it.
After all, for her, being unable to perceive the outside world is not a bad thing.
As long as she trusts her contractor to take good care of her, she can sleep peacefully.
At the moment when her soul awakens, her feelings for Pulin will not change and she is still in a state of passionate love.
In this psychological state, it is very difficult for her to accept the reality.
Li Nuo was helpless when faced with the question of "whether Latifah voluntarily turned herself into a monster."
This incident was too long ago and did not appear in the memory fragments, so he had no way of knowing the answer.
"Whether or not to resurrect Latifah is a difficult decision." Li Nuo said in a deep voice:
"If we want to reduce the trouble, we'd better let Latifa be freed. But I think you can't bear to do it. Right? Dinah."
Dinasi leaned on Li Nuo's shoulder and wiped away the tears, her face looking haggard.
She nodded weakly in response to Li Nuo.
Selena, as a bystander, sat quietly on the sofa chair nearby, with a look of worry on her eyebrows. She seemed to put herself into the perspective of the person involved and think about this issue.
Li Nuo patted Dinas on the back and said:
"Let me decide. Do you believe me?"
"Yeah. I always believe in you." Dinas said softly.
Li Nuo looked at Selina:
"Sorry, I need to take a little more time. Please don't mind."
"It's okay, Jarvis." Selina brushed her long hair from her forehead, bent her right arm, supported her chin with her palm, and asked curiously:
"What are you going to do?"
Li Nuo took out a "Soul Retreat Crystal" and said:
"Not everyone can become strong in suffering. Sometimes, leaving in happiness and sweetness may be a good ending."
Dinasi understood what Li Nuo meant.
She moved her head and buried it on Li Nuo's back.
Warm tears quickly wet the clothes on Li Nuo's back.
Li Nuo cast the "Soul Extraction Technique", targeting the metal box and the "Soul Retreat Crystal".
The light gray soul flowed out of the metal box and entered the crystal under Li Nuo's guidance.
The integrity of Li Nuo's "Soul Extraction Technique" is very low.
When extracting a normal soul, he may need to maintain the casting action for 30 hours to completely extract the soul.
But when it came to extracting Latifah's soul, the process only lasted three minutes.
This shows that the container that stores Latifa's soul, that is, the metal box, has a very, very weak binding force on her soul.
So much so that it didn't take much time for Li Nuo to complete the process of extracting the soul.
The female soul that appears in the "Soul Retreat Crystal" is wearing a gorgeous white wedding dress.
Although her eyes were closed, there was a beautiful smile on her lips.
"Look, Dinas, Latifah was smiling. She was in a happy state before her mind was sealed." Li Nuo said.
Dinasi moved her head from behind Li Nuo, her eyes swept over the soul body in the crystal, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Her memory is solidified in the happiest moment. Let this moment become eternal."
Li Nuo squeezed hard and the crystal shattered.
The translucent weak soul disappeared with a sleeping smile.
"The Story of Latifah and Prine" has been left blank and not detailed.
