Dinas teleported back to the stone house to rest.
In Selena's study, Li Nuo and Selina sat on both sides of the desk, discussing matters together.
"The way you handled Latifah's soul impressed me." Selena bent her arms on the table, supported her chin with the back of her hand, and stared at Li Nuo with her beautiful eyes:
"I thought that you would resurrect Latifah, and then tell her the truth and convince her to accept the fact that her contractor is a scumbag. I really didn't expect that you would choose to let Latifah in the state with the most perfect memory. Leave."
Li Nuo picked up the tea cup and blew away the white hot air from the water:
"Perhaps my determination and belief in challenging the Fagan family made you mistakenly think that I am an idealist, paranoid and extreme. As long as I think it is just, I will carry it out without hesitation, without regard to the feelings of others.
"Actually, I am not someone who will do anything for the sake of so-called justice, Selena."
Li Nuo took a sip of hot tea to moisturize his body after a tiring day. The aroma of tea flowed in his mouth, washing away his fatigue and making him feel more energetic.
He put down his tea cup and continued:
"My real idea is that evil people will be punished, and kind people will eventually die a good death. The first half of the sentence can be regarded as bringing chaos back to order, and the second half is just a little bit of my selfishness. Because many times, what I think A 'good death' may not be what kind-hearted people want. But I think, in the case of Latifa, it was you, me, Dinath and Latifa who allowed her to pass away peacefully at that beautiful moment. This is a method that I all agree with. Are you right?"
Selena pondered for a moment and said:
"Well, I agree with your approach. This should be the best ending for Latifah. Although it is incomplete, it is the happiest."
"Let this matter go. Don't let it take up too much time. We still have business to deal with." Li Nuo sat up straight and put his arms on the armrests:
"It is a fact that Dikla Fagan colluded with the Dreadsail Pirate Nation and the Demon Brain Nation. In the Unas Circle, it is not enough for us to know the facts. We must have tangible evidence before we can apply for a special investigation warrant from the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department. But you also know that the laws of the Unas Ring are full of loopholes, and the extraordinary strength of individuals and the secret contracts between individuals can always override the laws. If we follow the normal process, it is absolutely impossible for Dick to be La Fagan is in a law enforcement cell. I have a question now, Selina."
"Are you asking how I plan to deal with Dikla Fagan?" Selina asked.
"No." Li Nuo shook his head slightly:
"I want to ask, has there ever been a secret collusion between the wizard family and the enemies of Unas Ring here in the Suman Islands before? If so, how did you deal with it at the time?"
Selena sighed slightly helplessly:
"Hey, Jarvis, there are endless situations like this. You may think that I, the deputy dean, are weak, but the fact is that I can only seek help from the Ministry of Magic and the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department when a crisis breaks out. Before the crisis broke out, even if I had some clues, I would not be able to start an investigation. Because these clues can turn into unverifiable lies and hoaxes at any time under the influence of extraordinary power."
"So, you have always played the role of a post-processor, right? Because there are too many loopholes in Unas Ring's laws and the individual power is too strong, you cannot intervene before and during the incident." Li Nuo said.
"Yes. There is nothing we can do about it, Jarvis. Hotamus and the Pure Light Tribunal, the two wizarding forces that most advocate order in the Unas Circle, once launched the 'Enhancement of Magic' initiative at the Council of Witch Leaders. The bill on the authority of judicial institutions. If this bill is passed, the franchised investigation rights for wizard families will be transferred from the Wizard Law Enforcement Department to the Deep Sea Branch, a magical trial agency that integrates research, learning and trial functions. "
Selena spread her hands and said:
"But in the end, the bill was defeated, and 70% of the voters voted against it. The mainstream objection was that the magic trial agency in a certain region might abuse its privileged investigative power against the wizarding family. Obtain illegitimate benefits. This will expand the influence of Hotams and the Pure Light Tribunal to a great extent and squeeze the living space of other wizarding forces. The influence of Hotams and the Pure Light Tribunal is enough At present, there is basically no chance that such a bill will be passed.”
Li Nuo did not express any views on matters involving parliament or bills.
All he needs to know is that he has mastered the ability to "turn the table".
"I plan to make Dikla Fagan and the family guards around him disappear forever." Li Nuo said calmly.
Selina shook her head slightly and tried to persuade:
“Killing doesn’t solve the problem.
"I admit that you are strong enough to have such a plan. But you getting rid of Dikla Fagan and the family secret guard who killed witnesses in front of us will only make you stronger and more experienced. A more ferocious guy has appeared in the Suman Islands. We might as well keep Dikla Fagan, clip his wings, and limit his range of activities. Only in this way can we control the contradictions within our tolerance."
Li Nuo looked at Selena's pretty face and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled:
"I found that the two of us are an ideal drama partner. I wield the big stick and threaten the enemy, and you act as the peacemaker and make the enemy surrender. As long as we cooperate well, one can sing the black face and the other can sing the red face, then basically All wizard families with evil intentions will restrain themselves a lot."
"Black face? Red face?" Facing the unfamiliar vocabulary, Selina thought for a moment, combined with the context, and understood the meaning:
"Ah, yes, I think so too. Your appearance gave me the confidence to deal with people like Dikla Fagan, and gained more say and bargaining chips.
"Take Festa's death as an example. This is enough to sound the alarm for Dikla Fagan. If I were him and his family's secret guard, I would restrain myself a lot in the next period of time."
Li Nuo raised his hand, rubbed his chin gently, and said with a half-smile:
"Then what if they don't restrain themselves, but get worse, Selina. If this happens, what should you do? In the end, don't you still have to let me get rid of them?"
Selena crossed her arms and held up the full moon:
"They'll get over it, Jarvis, trust me.
"This group of wizarding families has been able to exist for so many years not only by the power of magic, but also by their tact and agility. When they find that things are developing in a direction beyond expectations, they will not take more radical measures, but He will retreat under the water, examine his opponent, find out the enemy's details, and wait for the time to strike again.
"During this period, they will keep a low profile and wait for half a year or a year before stirring up new troubles."
Selena said:
"I admit that when you got rid of Festa, I was shocked and even a little disturbed. But I have calmed down now and carefully thought about the impact of this matter. I think that after I made representations, at most On the seventh day, Dikla Fagan will send me a letter admitting his mistake, voluntarily giving in, and will donate a gold coin to the college free of charge in exchange for our forgiveness."
Li Nuo asked:
"Oh? What if you don't receive the letter or donation after seven days?"
Selina shook her head:
"This should not happen."
Li Nuo snapped his fingers:
"Let me put the question another way, Selina. The letters and donations you received only represent Dikla Fagan's attitude towards you, not his attitude towards me.
"Have you ever thought about such a situation? Due to the Deep Sea Branch and Hotams, Dikla Fagan does not dare to do anything to you, but he does not intend to let go of a first-level wizard like me.
"Have you forgotten? Even though he knew that I had a close relationship with you and that he was a law enforcer appointed by you to assist in defense, he still carefully planned the assassination operation against me.
"You said it yourself. Based on your understanding of Dikla Fagan, he will not give up. Why did you change from pessimism to optimism about his future actions after returning to this study?"
weak.
indecisive.
The position is confusing.
Li Nuo saw these shortcomings in Selena.
But that's not her fault.
If it were someone else sitting in her position, they would also make a decision based on overall consideration, similar to "the overall situation is the most important". Li Nuo's experience, personal abilities and appeals are only bargaining chips for Selena and Dicra Fagan to negotiate, not the "big picture" in her eyes.
Li Nuo suddenly understood the weaknesses in Selena's human nature and pointed out the other party's problems.
Faced with Li Nuo's question, Selena gently touched her forehead and sighed:
"Jarvis, I will not let the assassination of you happen again, please believe me. In my reply to Dicra Fagan, I will emphasize your status as a law enforcement wizard who assists in defense."
Li Nuo said:
"According to the soul contract between us, paragraph 1, article 5, when what I do complies with the decrees of the Unas Ring, you cannot interfere with my actions and provide cover for my legal actions. .Do you remember this one?”
"Yes, I remember. If you really want to get rid of Dikla Fagan and his family secret guards, I can only help you." Selina covered her forehead, feeling quite distressed.
"Let's do this, Selena." Li Nuo thought for a while and said:
"Considering that you shoulder the heavy responsibility of the wizarding force in the Suman Islands, and I am not someone who relies on the soul contract to act recklessly, I am willing to make some concessions."
"What?"
Selena looked at Li Nuo, hope flashing in her eyes.
If the other party is willing to give in and not get rid of Dikla Fagan and the family's secret guards, that would be the best.
Li Nuo called up Festa's memory in his mind, picked out a few important numbers and said:
"Didn't you say that Dikla Fagan would donate a gold coin to the Deep Sea Branch to obtain your forgiveness? Well, as long as the gold coin is not less than 7.9 million, I will let him go."
"7.9 million!?" Selena was stunned for a moment:
"Are you serious?"
"What? Do you think the lives of Dikla Fagan and his family's secret guards are not worth 7.9 million?" Li Nuo sneered and said:
"Oh, this is money to buy your life. If he can't get it, I will have to take his life. If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't give him a chance to breathe."
Selena took a slight breath, and the full moon fluctuated significantly:
"Okay. Okay, I will explain it to him in the letter."
"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Li Nuo said:
"I'm in awe of your magnanimity, Selina. Dikla Fagan secretly colluded with the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom and used the dragon inscription to coerce you into surrendering to him. For such a person, you would actually use it with the other party in person. Exchange of letters. You really have a broad mind."
"Stop mocking me, Jarvis." Selina looked bitter, and her voice sounded pleading.
Li Nuo accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said with a grin:
"It's just a joke. I won't talk about it anymore. I know you have difficulties, but I just can't help but complain a few words. That's it for today. I will hand over the body and important relics to you. I believe you will handle it well. .”
Li Nuo reached for his waist, took out the magic bag containing the four headless corpses and magic books, and placed it on the table.
Selina hands over the headless corpse to Dikla Fagan, which can act as a deterrent and force the other party to submit.
Returning magic tomes with magic locks is the best way to deal with magic tomes.
Anyone who touches the magic lock in an incorrect way will alert the professor who arranged the magic lock.
Returning the magic books with the magic lock intact can show one's demeanor, and erase one's suspicion of "cracking the magic lock privately and illegally obtaining magic knowledge", and not giving the other party the opportunity to use the law to accuse oneself.
Seeing Li Nuo take out the corpse and magic books, Selina took a quick look at his familiarity with the world.
If Li Nuo refused to hand over the body and magic books, she would have to spend a lot of time persuading him.
Well now, this trouble is saved.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, smiled a little, and put away the magic bag on the table.
"I'm going back first, Selina. I will stay in the inner circle and the inner circle these days. I will occasionally go to the outer circle to meet with Qian'an's housekeeper. If there is any news, you can use it at any time" Soul Sensing" Find me. "
Li Nuo stood up, ready to call Dinas to come and take him away.
Before leaving, he warned Selina:
"I will only give Dikla Fagan seven days. Once the time is up and the gold coins are not in place, I will immediately get rid of him and his family guards. As a man who wields a big stick, I will always let the big stick fall. Only by practicing it can you have more confidence in negotiating, don’t you think so?”
"Yes. I understand. You are right." Selena responded solemnly:
"If no donation is received within seven days, I will cooperate with all your work. I will always remember your help to me. If I were not a nine-ring wizard and did not have the important task of managing the wizard's forces, I would definitely use a duel. , to wash away the humiliation inflicted on me by Dikla Fagan.”
Selena became a little sullen and resentful when she talked about Dikla Fagan threatening her to marry him.
It was obvious that even though she often dealt with things from a big-picture perspective, she was actually still full of resentment towards Dikla Fagan.
Her duplicitous behavior may be misunderstood as "cowardice", but Li Nuo knows that this is essentially a manifestation of tenacity.
If Li Nuo gets rid of Dikla Fagan, it will not only allow the criminal who murdered the law enforcement wizard to be punished as he should, but also help Selina get revenge.
Li Nuo waved goodbye to Selena.
There was a flash of fire in the study, and Dinas took Li Nuo back.
After Li Nuo left, Selina began to check the corpses and magic books in the magic pocket.
Except for the lack of heads, the four corpses had no more injuries on their bodies, and there was no sign that the corpses had been desecrated.
This shows that Li Nuo can control his emotions and will not vent his anger on the corpse.
The six magic books were intact, and the magic locks and mechanical locks showed no signs of being cracked.
This shows that Li Nuo knows what is appropriate and does not have any undue thoughts about knowledge that he should not possess.
In addition, Li Nuo did not take away any personal items such as memos, magic photo albums, commemorative pendants, etc., and kept them all in the magic pocket.
These things with personal significance were not the objects of Li Nuo's search, nor were they thrown away by him.
It can be said that apart from compensating for the property he lost, Li Nuo did not touch anything else that was personal and protected by law.
This approach may seem a bit pretentious to others.
But in Selena's eyes, this is a noble character.
Even though Li Nuo had the power to kill the Seventh Ring Wizard, he was still able to restrain his behavior, act strictly in accordance with the law, and only attack criminals who violated him, instead of using his own power to rob innocent people.
This is enough to show that Li Nuo has self-discipline far beyond ordinary people.
Thinking of Li Nuo's extraordinary ability to understand people and things, and his penetrating judgment, Selina became more and more identified with this hermit wizard.
"I can't let Jarvis down."
Selina organized the relics and corpses in the magic pocket, and carefully prepared a letter for Dicra Fagan to admit his mistake.
Inside the stone house in the core circle.
The beach house is especially peaceful late at night.
After Li Nuo followed Dinas back into the house, he was hugged by her soft arms.
Dinas has mostly recovered from Latifah's tragic experience, but there is still a trace of sadness and depression in her heart.
"Li, if I fell asleep like Latifah when I was happy, and then was turned into a monster when my heart was closed, would you wake up my heart and turn me from a monster back to a human?" Dai Nasi asked, leaning on Li Nuo's chest.
Li Nuo patted the other party's back:
"You have to ask yourself that question, Dinah."
"Why." Dinas seemed to understand.
Li Nuo said gently:
"If you have the courage and confidence to face your own suffering, then I will definitely awaken your heart, and then truthfully tell you what you experienced during the period when your heart was closed, and I will accompany you to overcome it."
After thinking for a long time, Dinas hugged Li Nuo tightly and said:
"Then you must awaken my heart and I will overcome the suffering. I will definitely do it."
"Okay, I promise you." Li Nuo responded.
After a two-second pause, Li Nuo said:
"But don't worry, I won't let a pessimistic situation arise. Just stay at home and I will take care of everything."
"Uh-huh."
Author's comment: As an important female supporting character, Selena's character will change with the plot.
