The inheritance system of the Chanal family is very different from that of the Pangola family.
The Chanal family is a system of primogeniture, and only the eldest child of a certain family branch has the right to inherit. After the eldest child dies, the second-eldest child will have inheritance rights.
For this reason, there are only five heirs in the Chanal family, corresponding to the five family branches.
These five family branches are located in trading hubs around the world.
Here in the Suman Islands, the head of the family, the first heir, Lape Chanal, is in charge.
His son and daughter worked for him, forming a management model based on blood relations.
Li Nuo feels that this inheritance system and management model are better than the bloated inheritance system of the Pangula family.
The Pangola family has 25 heirs, and the competitive relationship between them is greater than the cooperative relationship within the family branches.
The Chanal family is different.
It transforms the competitive relationship and disharmony among family branch members into conflicts between relatives, without raising it to the level of fighting for inheritance rights.
This has virtually made the inheritance and operation of the Chanal family much smoother.
Uh, but even so, the local Chanal family power was still riddled with holes by undercurrent spies.
no way.
Who allows the Chanal family to have the largest trading fleet.
These trading fleets sailing on the sea are not the best targets for pirate countries to plunder.
It is inevitable that the Dreadsail Pirate Nation will use all its strength to infiltrate the Chanal family.
After Li Nuo read the results of Parrikar's analysis, a follow-up plan emerged in his mind.
Under normal circumstances, if a wizard criminal is discovered at sea, the patrolling wizards of the Chanal family will escort him to the prison on the offshore platform and notify the Island Affairs Department to send someone to take over.
Are there undercurrent spies on the offshore platform?
Unfortunately, no.
Li Nuo repeatedly confirmed that there were no undercurrent spies on the offshore platform, which was personally guarded by Lape Chanal's youngest son.
The Terror Sails Pirate Kingdom has penetrated to the level of the captain of the maritime patrol at most, but has not yet been able to corrupt Lape Chanal's blood relatives and the retainers around them.
After Li Nuo figured out this situation, he couldn't help but shook his head with regret and sighed:
"Hey, I still want to have a one-on-one fair duel with the undertide spies on the offshore platform. There is no chance now. There are no undertide spies on the offshore platform, but there are in other maritime patrol teams. But those teams are not on my return trip. Patrolling on the route, it is difficult for me to encounter them..."
Li Nuo took out the trophies collected from the four criminals and counted them in the captain's cabin.
These four criminals all have the identity of deep sea wizards on the surface.
They brought with them magical tomes for brushing up on spells and meditation.
These magic tomes are divided into two sets.
One set comes from the Deep Sea Branch, and the other set comes from the Dreadsail Pirate Kingdom.
Li Nuo rummaged through Parika's relics and dug out the magic books related to the Deep Sea Branch.
A meditation book that records the training content of the "Tidal Surge" meditation method from the first to the sixth level.
The other is a magic book called "General Theory of Deep Sea Branch Spells", which records conventional and advanced deep sea spells.
There are no negative effects on these two classics, and Li Nuo can deconstruct them using conventional deconstruction methods.
The "Tidal Surge" meditation method has "Spirit" as the main attribute, and "Dexterity" and "Will" as secondary attributes. The effect of meditation is to weaken the corrosiveness of sea water.
Li Nuo has learned this meditation method and has no plans to practice it yet.
The main reason is that he currently does not want to improve "Spirit", but prefers to improve "Will".
The "Metal Fusion" meditation method and the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method are more in line with his needs.
From the book "General Theory of Deep Sea Branch Spells", Li Nuo deconstructed a total of fifteen spell blueprints, all of which are deep sea spells of the Deep Sea Branch.
Deep sea spells can be cast in both land and sea environments.
The effect of spells in the land environment is greatly reduced, and normal effects can be achieved in sea water.
Moreover, when casting in a land environment, the deep sea wizard must first convert the deep sea magic into sea water, and then use the sea water generated by the spell to cast the deep sea spell.
This undoubtedly increases the cost of casting spells.
Here comes the interesting part, Li Nuo discovered the little secret of the Deep Sea Branch.
Although this branch has the name "Deep Sea", in fact, in the field of magic, it follows the path of water magic.
They used the "Tidal Surge" meditation method to remove the corrosiveness of the deep sea magic and then used it as water energy.
Their deep-sea spells are also adapted from the water spells of the Plastic Energy Branch.
It is precisely because of this that the deep sea spells of the Deep Sea Branch can be used in both fresh water and sea water.
Among the 15 spell blueprints Li Nuo obtained, 14 were conventional spells.
Their blueprint is complete.
The only incomplete spell blueprint points to a high-level deep-sea spell, the "Waterspout Summoning Spell."
Li Nuo can cast this high-level spell without the permission of the professor of the Deep Sea Branch. The cost is that the spell cost is tripled from normal.
Li Nuo searched among these 15 blueprints and picked out the spells related to underwater operations.
"Water Technique" that jets water to propel the body forward;
"Hydraulic Pressure Relief Technique" that relieves water pressure and prevents the body from being crushed by sea water;
"Liquid Transformation Technique" that turns the body into liquid and easily penetrates into small holes on the seabed;
Underwater "flying" spell, "Water Walking", a water walking spell that can attempt to move quickly;
Li Nuo has been coveting the first three spells for a long time, and the last spell is a magical skill for traveling underwater.
For the other offensive and defensive deep-sea spells, Li Nuo temporarily put them aside and will study them later.
Regarding the magic books of the Deep Sea Branch, the contents mastered by the sixth-ring battle wizard Parrika are highly overlapped with those of the other three criminals, and the contents of the latter are not as complete as the former.
After Li Nuo briefly read it, he put away the magic books of the Deep Sea Branch separately and prepared to take them back to Selena.
Li Nuo took out the magic book from the Dread Sail Pirate Kingdom and put it on the table.
Similarly, Parrikar's information was far more detailed than that of the other three criminals.
Li Nuo launched the deconstruction technique on Parika's Terror Sailing Book, using 100,000 energy points to break the magic lock, and then used 400,000 energy points to launch harmless deconstruction.
【system information:】
[Harmless deconstruction successful! 】
[You have obtained the following decomposition results:]
[1. The completeness of "Deep Sea Scale Meditation Method" has been increased to 15%, and the practice content of the fifth to sixth rings has been added. 】
[2. Added four incomplete spell blueprints:]
["Poisonous water mass", regular terror sail spell, completeness 50%]
["Kraine Scream", a conventional terror sail spell, completeness 20%, needs to be in Kraken form to cast. 】
["Terror Sail Communication Technique", a regular Terror Sail spell, completeness 30%, requires casting materials: Terror Sail Conch. 】
["Terror Sail Invisibility Technique", a regular Terror Sail spell, with a completeness of 10%. It needs to be in the form of a sea monster and be in a seawater environment before it can be cast. 】
"Invisibility!" Li Nuo's eyes lit up!
Undertide spies and surge hunters rely on the "Terror Sail Invisibility Technique" to integrate with the seawater environment!
Li Nuo had been coveting this spell for a long time, and now he finally got what he wanted.
He swept aside the other three spell blueprints and clicked on "Terror Sails Invisibility" to view them.
…
[Name] Terror Sail Invisibility Technique
[Type] Terror Sail Deep Sea Spell
[Level] Level 1
【Completeness】10%
【Effect】
Consume 10 points of soul strength and 10 points of energy to become invisible in the sea water in the form of a sea monster.
In the invisible state, 1 point of soul strength and 1 point of energy are consumed every minute.
Deep sea magic power can be used to replace soul strength at a ratio of 1:1.
Only detection methods with a level no lower than this spell level can detect you in an invisible state.
【defect】
Spell consumption increased to 10 times.
…
"It takes 10 points of soul strength to cast a spell... This consumption is really extraordinary..."
Having said that, Li Nuo did not look depressed, but instead had a faint look of excitement in his eyes.
He reached into his magic pocket, held an empty magic stone, and quickly weaved a plan in his mind to steal the magic power of the deep sea.
He took out the magic stone, cast "Magic Steal" towards the opponent, and carved a magic pattern on the magic stone to receive magic power.
Li Nuo packed up the loot in front of him, arranged his clothes, and ignored the precious belongings in the captain's cabin.
He opened the door and, guided by the psychic beacon on the Sonic Mechanical Spirit, came to the cell door on the lower deck.
Here, he met Locke Famorra, a young wizard who devoted himself to his duties.
"Have the injuries of the three criminals stabilized?" Li Nuo asked in a calm tone, looking at the small window on the iron door.
"My lord, their injuries are not serious. I also cast the "Sleeping Curse" on them. They will never wake up until they reach the prison on the offshore platform. "
Locke Farmora said in a neither humble nor condescending tone.
"You did a great job, Famora." Li Nuo raised an appreciative smile:
"Please open the cage, I want to check the scales on their bodies."
"Okay, sir." Famora unlocked the magic lock and mechanical lock on the door, and spread the transparent magic barrier that separated the inside and outside of the cage.
Li Nuo can now use "Magic Stealing" on criminals without hindrance.
Don't worry that casting "Magic Steal" will alert the criminal and Famora next to you.
This spell erased all energy fluctuations by the system, and even if it was slapped on Famora's face, the other party would not notice it.
At most, when checking the magic points in the spiritual ocean, he found that there was something wrong with his inventory of magic power, which made Famora alert.
The three criminals in the cage were rendered unconscious by the "Sleeping Curse" and were completely unable to check their magic power inventory. Naturally, Li Nuo did not have to worry about being discovered by others.
When he inspected the scales of the other three, he placed the magic lines of "Magic Stealing" in absolutely private parts.
Before leaving, he did not forget to take away the magic pockets of the three criminals, give Famora verbal praise, and draw a piece of cake called "Credits."
Li Nuo ate too many "cakes" before traveling through time, and now he is very skilled at painting.
He reached into his magic pocket, and deep-sea magic began to appear in the magic stone that Li Nuo had carved with receiving patterns.
The dark green magic power, as deep as the deep sea, rises slowly, like the undulating sea surface.
Li Nuo upgraded "Magic Stealing" to level 100 on the spot.
In this way, the range of "Magic Stealing" is increased to a radius of 1,000 meters.
As long as the magic pattern that steals magic power and the magic pattern that outputs magic power are no more than 1,000 meters apart, "Magic Stealing" can operate normally.
Hedwig's magic yacht was parked on the sea 800 meters away from the magic mechanical ship.
Li Nuo swam from the water to the magic yacht and met Hedwig and Weipa who were waiting here.
The mermaid baby Weipa, who was just born, had never been exposed to magic other than deep-sea magic.
She was curious about those black light pillars streaking across the night sky,
As soon as Li Nuo stepped into the cabin, she kept asking questions.
"Yeah... Yeah... (What spell did you use just now? Such a weird magical power... makes me feel a little scared...)"
It’s okay to be afraid.
There is no living creature that is not afraid of the energy of death. This is a deep instinctive reaction in the body.
Li Nuo picked up his notepad, briefly introduced the energy of death to Weipa, then turned to Hedwig and said:
"This lost sea fog will last for up to five hours. Let's wait until the fog dissipates before leaving. At that time, we will first escort the criminals to the offshore platform with the maritime patrol team, and then we will return to the Suman Islands."
"Okay, Jarvis."
Hedwig raised his hands in favor of Li Nuo's proposal.
The short but fierce battle before had completely convinced him.
He knew very well what the nearly half-meter-thick death ray represented. It was the high-level death spell "Two Fingers of Death."
"It's still a while before dawn. You guys can rest. I'll keep watch. In three hours, Hedwig will replace me." Li Nuo said.
Hedwig had no objection and turned around and stepped into his room.
Li Nuo repeated what he just said in writing and wrote it to Weipa.
After Weipa looked at it, she thought for half a second, shook her head and said:
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. (I'd rather keep watch, the shark doesn't really need to sleep.)"
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, put away his notepad without refusing, and walked into his guest room.
When the fog of the lost sea fell, Hedwig activated the invisibility circle of the magic yacht.
The ship was invisible, and the protective array on the outer armor plate was activated.
With Weipa keeping vigil, everything will be fine tonight.
After Li Nuo closed the door, he didn't rush to start meditating.
He took out the magic stone from his magic pocket and placed it on the table for observation.
Throwing out a deconstruction technique, Li Nuo glanced at the corner of his mouth, feeling helpless.
Only 1 point of magic power appears in the magic stone, and the speed of stealing magic power is really touching.
The system feedback showed that it is expected that in the next 24 hours, 60 points of deep sea magic power will be stolen by Li Nuo and stored in the magic stone.
This is the effect of three "Magic Stealing" operating at the same time.
If there was only one "Magic Stealing" in effect, the profit would probably not be enough to fill one's teeth.
"It seems that I still have to find another way to convert the soul strength into deep sea magic power..."
Li Nuo couldn't help but complained in his heart:
"This "magic stealing" is really useless. Fortunately, I was so excited when I deconstructed it from the magic chain of the teleportation circle..."
In the final analysis, it is still because there are too few objects to steal.
If one hundred and eighty deep-sea wizards were allowed to be stolen by Li Nuo, the income from "magic stealing" would be huge.
You know, to cast "Magic Stealing" to steal magic patterns and output magic patterns, you only need to consume 1 point of soul strength and 1 point of energy value respectively.
The consumption to maintain the existence of the magic pattern is 0.1 point of soul strength and 1 point of energy value per day.
Until the magic pattern is dispersed by Li Nuo, "Magic Stealing" will remain in effect.
It is equivalent to using 0.1 points of soul strength to steadily obtain 20 points of magic power every day, and the conversion ratio reaches 1:200.
If Li Nuo had no conscience, he could spread the "magic stealing" magic pattern widely in the Deep Sea Branch.
Anyway, none of the other party, including Selena, could find out where the magic pattern was.
But a person's moral level is reflected in what he does in the dark.
Li Nuo has his own bottom line and will not extend his "devil's claws" to wizards in his own camp.
If there was a chance to sneak into Shenyu Island, Li Nuo wouldn't mind putting a "magic stealing" magic mark on every Terror Sail wizard to squeeze them hard.
"Dong dong dong..."
A slight knock on the door brought Li Nuo back to reality.
He put away the magic stones on the table and used the "Wizard's Hand" to open the door.
The pink little mermaid Weipa sat on the floating seashell and glanced at the empty table curiously:
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah? (I clearly felt the breath of deep sea magic just now, and I thought there was an enemy. Why did he disappear all of a sudden?)"
The shark's ability to sense the magic power of the deep sea is really not that strong... Li Nuo's mouth twitched slightly, he forced a smile and wrote with a pen and paper:
"I'm studying the deep sea magic stone."
Li Nuo took out a magic stone that contained a trace of magic power and waved it in front of the opponent.
"Yeah~ Yeah? (So that's it, are you very interested in the magic of the deep sea?)" Weipa floated into the guest room sitting on a seashell.
She turned around, groped behind her, and pulled out a small piece of pink-white coral stone from somewhere.
There are many irregular round holes on the surface of the coral stone, and there are small flashing dark green light spots in the round holes. This scene is enough to cause anyone with trypophobia to have an attack.
Li Nuo is okay.
He doesn't have trypophobia, but he is very curious about this thing full of deep sea magic.
Weipa floated to the desk, raised her hands forward, and held the pink-white coral stone in front of Li Nuo:
"Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah. (Please accept this, this is my gift to thank you for saving me! It can bring you the magic of the deep sea.)"
"Thank you~" Li Nuo smiled, took the thing from the other party's hand solemnly, and threw the deconstruction technique out of habit.
【system information:】
[You are about to use deconstruction on "Deep River Coral Stone (Level 3)". 】
[Based on "Dragon Age Archeology (Level 15)", the consumption of this deconstruction is reduced by 15%]
[It is expected to consume 25,500 energy points to achieve 100% deconstruction completion]
"Um?"
Li Nuo frowned slightly, realizing that the thing in his hand was not simple, and immediately spent energy points to get the panel information.
[Your deconstruction completion of "Deep River Coral Stone (Level 3)" reaches 100%]

…
"3 points of deep sea magic power are produced every day? The sharks still have such magical things in their hands..."
Li Nuo was so surprised that he was stunned for nearly two seconds.
"Yeah? (What's wrong?)" Weipa tilted her head.
Li Nuo smiled at the other party and wrote on the paper:
"It's a very strange coral stone. It can actually produce deep sea magic. I like it very much. Can you talk to me about the Deep River Tribe? I'm very curious about the customs, culture and inheritance there."
"Yeah?... Yeah, yeah~ (Wow, do you recognize this thing? It's amazing. Of course I can introduce you to the Shenhe Tribe~)"
Weipa agreed happily at first, but then felt a little sad:
“Yeah yeah…(but I don’t know much…)”
"It's okay, it's just a casual chat." Li Nuo said with a pen and paper as if he was cheating:
"The main reason is to understand the living habits of the sharks. When we get to the Deep Sea Branch, I will be able to settle you in better."
"Yeah~ Yeah yeah. (Okay~ You are so considerate.)" Weipa grinned innocently:
"Yeah, yeah. (Let's start with what the sharks eat.)"
A childish shark voice sounded in the room.
Li Nuo listened attentively and gradually guided the topic to the coral stone in his hand...
