The next morning.
Stone houses in the inner circle.
The living room on the first floor is filled with magic props and coin bags
Dinasi took the account book and pen and happily counted the spoils of last night.
Li Nuo sat aside, laughing at the other person's little financial obsession.
"Six boxes of magic gems, 30 in each box. Each one is a high-quality magic crystal and contains a lot of magic~"
Dinas used "Wizard's Hand" to take out the magic gems from the gem box and arrange them in a circle around herself:
"They are all water and deep sea magic gems. Let's take a look. There are 40 water gems, a total of about 40 million points of water energy. There are 140 deep sea gems, a total of 140 million deep sea magic... Li, these magic gems, you want Keep it or sell it?"
"I plan to keep them for later use." Li Nuo responded.
"Okay~ I'll put them away then." Dinas waved her hand, swept the gems into the gem box, and then put the gem box into the magic pocket.
"Next are the magic robes, magic wands, magic scrolls and magic rings..." Dinas picked up the trophies one by one with her "Wizard's Hand".
In order to better help Li Nuo take care of his belongings, she would go to Suman City's trading area from time to time to collect the latest price information.
Faced with the trophies Li Nuo brought back from the criminal's secret room last night, Dinas expertly counted, quoted, made statistics, and classified them.
About an hour later, the total value of the loot carefully calculated by her came out.
“1.57 million in cash.
"The magic props that can be exchanged for gold coins immediately in Suman City are worth a total of 5.33 million.
"There are a total of 15 difficult-to-get-out magic props, mainly magic books involving the core secrets of various wizarding forces.
"There are 17 pieces of criminal evidence that need to be handed over to the Deep Sea Branch. They are mainly potions and magic books used by the criminal to practice the "Deep Sea Scale" meditation method. "
Dinas was mumbling and writing many words in a row on the account book.
After finishing writing, she put the account book in front of Li Nuo:
"Well, it's all done~ The wizard criminal you caught this time seems to be very unusual. He hid many high-value things in the secret room."
"He is indeed a unique wizard criminal." Li Nuo took the account book, glanced at it, and said with a smile:
"It's good. With you here, I don't have to worry about counting the loot. You go and change the magic props worth 5.33 million into cash today. All the gold coins will be left with you for the time being until I come back from Selina. , I’ll ask you to take it again. Don’t treat yourself badly. You can use the 500,000 gold coins as you wish. Buy whatever you want.”
"Okay~ Hehe~" Dinasi hugged Li Nuo's shoulders and gave her a fragrant pop.
Li Nuo put down the account book, stood up, and used the "Wizard's Hand" to pack up the magic books and criminal evidence that he wanted to bring to Selina.
In fact, among the gains last night, the most valuable thing was not with Li Nuo.
He temporarily deposited them with Selena.
Those are some miniature oceans that can be used as medium-distance portals.
This thing, woven from magical liquids and the magic of the deep, can transport wizards to designated ocean locations.
The transmission distance is proportional to the consumption of deep sea magic power, and the longest is no more than 3,500 kilometers.
At the transmission destination, a transmission beacon must be placed in advance, otherwise the transmission will inevitably fail.
Hido Pomida hid a total of 15 miniature oceans in the secret room.
According to the spoils distribution rules, Li Nuo, as the person who has contributed the most, can enjoy priority distribution rights.
He chose 8 miniature oceans without hesitation and gave them to Selina for safekeeping, and asked her to keep them secret.
If Ronco Pomida asked, Selina would only say that Hido had hidden 7 miniature oceans, not 15.
This is what Li Nuo asked of her.
With these 8 miniature oceans, Li Nuo can easily travel around the Suman Islands as long as he finds a suitable place to place them.
"I'm going to find Selena and her eldest brother."
Before leaving, Li Nuo held up Dinasi's face and rubbed it:
"If things go well today, our lives will be completely different in the future."
Dinas blinked in confusion:
"What will it become?"
Li Nuo looked at the longing in Dinas' eyes and said:
"We will have our own island in the core circle, and the island will come with a complete set of magic facilities and devices required for magic experiments. We can also use magic mist to surround the island and turn it into our own territory. I can Do magic experiments on the island. You can build whatever you like on the island, and the Snowwing cat will also have a bigger house.
"In the more distant future, we will have a secondary dimension, which is our own territory in the true sense. And the islands we stay in the core circle of the Suman Islands will continue to serve us in another form. "
Dinasi's face was held by Li Nuo, and her speech was a little unclear:
"But we are in a second dimension in the guild hall."
"Selena will help us manage it. She has promised me that she will be my manager after I have the second dimension." Li Nuo said.
"Selena..." Dinas was a little lost:
"You, you, you...she, she, you both..."
"Oh ~ Poor Dinas." Li Nuo rubbed the other person's face:
"Suddenly you find that your contractor has attracted another woman. Doesn't it make you panic?"
Dinasi pinched Li Nuo hard on the waist.
She tried her best to suck the milk and was not polite to Li Nuo at all:
"You have to go to Selena's place every few days, and when you come back several times, you smell of her perfume. Hmph, I already knew there was something wrong with you two."
Li Nuo's "Toughness" of up to 100 points has made him immune to this kind of mosquito bite-like method of pinching flesh.
But he still took a breath of cold air, trembled and said:
"Hiss. It's not as unbearable as you think, Dinas. Although she does seem to be interested in me, I have a sense of discretion. I only chose her to be the manager after thinking twice."
"Just because you are measured now, doesn't mean you will be able to do it in the future..." Dinas used both her left and right hands to work on both sides of Li Nuo's waist at the same time:
"Humph, I'm so angry."
Dinasi pinched her hard a few times, then suddenly released her grip, buried her head on Li Nuo's chest, and said aggrievedly:
"I'm sorry, Lee, I can't help. I wish I could help you take care of things like Selena does..."
A smile flashed in Li Nuo's eyes.
He patted Dinas on the back and said warmly:
"Selena has lived decades longer than you, and her management experience is definitely incomparable to yours. But it's not too late for you to start learning now, right?"
"How to learn..." Dinas muttered.
Li Nuo held up the other person's face and smiled:
"Didn't I find the teacher for you? It's Selena. She is the witch of the Pomida family after all, and she is inextricably linked to Pomida and Hotams.
"Think about it with your little mind, Dinas. If one day in the future, Selina has to choose one among our sub-dimensional, the Pomida family and the Hotams, who do you think she will choose? ?
"Since we can't guarantee that she will definitely choose our secondary plane, shouldn't we make preparations in advance so that you can take over for her at any time and help me manage the secondary plane."
Dinasi's eyes widened:
"So that's what you think..."
"Yes. Considering that due to your birth background, you have no experience in being a manager and lack the necessary knowledge and ability to recognize people, so I brought Selina over."
Li Nuo paused:
"Well, of course, there are other reasons that also prompted me to choose her as the main manager. But these reasons are a bit complicated for you now. I will tell you in the future... How about, calm down now ?"
Dinasi clenched her fist and hammered Li Nuo on the chest:
"Huh, I guess you explained it in time..."
Dinas rubbed the place she had beaten with her hands again:
"Go and meet Selena and her eldest brother.
"I changed my mind." Li Nuo said:
"I thought about it, let's not rush the matter of turning the magic props into cash. It would be better for me to invite you to witness such an important moment today. You can go with me and listen to the conversation between me and them. By the way, Let’s secretly observe Selena and learn her management skills as soon as possible.”
"Yeah! Okay!" Dinas nodded hard and looked down at her clothes:
"Then wait for me. I'm going to change into a more formal magic robe."
"go Go."
Li Nuo watched Dinas running upstairs. He turned around and saw the Snowwing cat squatting on the ground nearby, raising his head and staring at him.
Its little eyes are just like those of a living person, full of expressions like eating melons and watching a show...
"Huh? Why are you looking at me like this?"
Li Nuo bent down, put his hand through the Snowwing cat's armpit, and picked him up from the ground.
He hung the Snowwing cat in front of him, shook the other person's body, and glanced at the cat's round belly:
"Are you watching a good show? Little thing. Do you think I'm bullying Dinas? I've already seen that you are humane, but don't worry about me bullying Dinas. Nothing like this will happen. You still care Watch your food intake. Look at your belly. How fat you have become since you came home."
"Meow meow~" The Snowwing cat lowered its head, glanced at its pink-white belly, and called Li Nuo several times with its big innocent eyes.
"Meow meow meow~" This cry is delicate and pitiful, as if to say that the reason why I gained weight is because the cat food is delicious and nutritious, not because of its greed.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about you anymore." Li Nuo put the cat's head on his shoulders and stroked the other person's furry back.
Touching it, Li Nuo remembered something.
It seems like he hasn’t deconstructed Snowwing Cat yet.
When I reached a contract with the other party, my energy was extremely low and I was unable to get the other party's panel information immediately.
Now, there is no such thing as a lack of energy.
Li Nuo threw the deconstruction technique at the soft Snowwing cat.
After a weak trance, the results of the decomposition were refreshed in my mind.
[Name] Snowwing Cat (tentative name)
[Type] Magic messenger, soul magic creation
【Character Level】Unknown
【Combat Level】Unknown
Lack of data support, unable to evaluate temporarily
【characteristic】
1. Master of plane positioning
Snowwing cats are born with extremely powerful plane positioning abilities and can accurately locate all known planes.
2. Plane Escape Master
Snowwings can escape from most planes.
3. Plane Survival Master
Snowwing cats can adapt to the living environment of all planes.
4. Loyalty
Snowwing cats are absolutely loyal to their contractors.
(The rest of the decomposition results are omitted)
…
Short and oily, not bad.
The Snowwing Cat is actually a master-level existence in the three fields of plane positioning, plane escape and plane survival.
This was something Li Nuo had not expected.
To a large extent, SnowWings are less magical messengers than navigators for exploring subdimensional beings.
The biggest fear when exploring a lost sub-dimensional is that after entering, the sub-dimensional is inexplicably closed and the explorer cannot get out.
With the Snowwing Cat around, Li Nuo didn't have to worry too much about being trapped in the secondary plane, nor did he have to worry about getting lost in the secondary plane.
If Li Nuo wants to explore secondary dimensions in the future, the Snowwing cat will be his perfect companion.
Not bad.
Li Nuo nodded with satisfaction and sucked the Snowwing cat hard twice.
"I'm coming~"
Dinas came down from upstairs and changed into an exquisite lavender silk magic robe.
The magic pocket on her waist has also changed from a handbag-like lace pocket to an elegant magic treasure chain.
"How do you like this set?" Dinasi turned around in front of Li Nuo, showing off her curvy figure.
"Very good, you look good in anything you wear." Li Nuo smiled.
"Then let's go." Dinas smiled like a flower.
She took Li Nuo's arm and rubbed the snowwing cat on his shoulder.
Li Nuo put the Snowwing Cat down and took Dinas away from the stone house.
The future he described to Dinas earlier was not something he imagined.
In fact, after vacating Hido Pomida's secret room last night, Li Nuo briefly discussed with Selina the matter of purchasing an island within the inner circle.
There are only so many islands in the core circle, and the price of the islands is not an exaggeration to describe as a golden mountain.
Li Nuo was interested in a medium-sized island with a low mountain.
The transaction price agreed upon by both parties was 57 million gold coins.
This 57 million gold coins not only includes the island itself, but also the supporting core circle facilities, magic laboratories, etc.
In addition, Li Nuo does not need to actually pay for the 57 million gold coins.
Li Nuo will pay the money on his behalf with the services, goods and knowledge he will provide to Shenhai Branch in the future.
He only discussed a simple draft with Selena last night.
Today, he will discuss a formal plan with Selena and Ronke Pomida.
Li Nuo's plan for the entire Suman Islands came to light at this moment.
His vision and plan for the future were completely presented in front of Selena and Longke Pomida.
It was at this moment that Dinas, who was listening in, truly realized Li Nuo's insight and depth of thought.
In Selena's study, Li Nuo, Selena, and Longke Pomida sat face to face.
Between the two sides is a magically constructed diorama of the Suman Islands.
The model not only marked the location and ownership of each island, but also circled the influence areas and territories of the various wizarding forces.
"The fifth heir to the Pangola family, Dikla Fagan, will leave the Suman Islands in the near future."
Li Nuo reached out and picked up the magically constructed chess piece.
This chess piece represents Dikla Fagan.
“Even if Dickla’s father repays Mut Pangula’s money on his behalf, Dickla Fagan will definitely be transferred from the Suman Islands by Mut Pangula.
“On the one hand, this is a matter of private misappropriation of family funds, which violates the internal rules of the Pangula family.
“On the other hand, the fact that Dikla Fagan misappropriated funds and made atonement to the Deep Sea Branch just confirmed the fact that he secretly colluded with the Dreadsail Pirate Nation.
"If Dikla Fagan is not transferred from the Suman Islands, his collusion with the enemy will always be a weapon used by the Deep Sea Branch to suppress the Pangola family."
Li Nuo put Dikla Fagan's chess piece aside and picked up Cian Nobbs' chess piece:
"After Dikla Fagan leaves, Xi'an will become the only local manager of the Pangola family."
Longque Pomida raised his right hand and interjected:
"Wait, if I remember correctly, the Sianne Nobbs you are talking about is a little girl who is only 12 years old, right?"
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded:
"Are you going to ask her what qualifications she has to be the sole manager?"
"Yes." Longke Pomida responded.
Li Nuo picked up another chess piece:
"This is Mira Farr, the sixth daughter of the Flame Queen. She was originally the manager of the Farr family at the bottom of the Fire Basin.
"Now, she gave up her position as the manager there and came to the Suman Islands. She will become Xi'an's assistant and manage the local assets of the Pangula family for her until Xi'an leaves Hotams. Until graduation.”
"How do you know..." Faced with Li Nuo's prediction, Longke Pomida couldn't help but ask.
Selina pressed a button in front of her eldest brother:
"Brother, what Jarvis said should be the truth. I have talked with Mira Farr. Once it is found out that Dicra Fagan's father, Fagan Pangula, was responsible for the tragic death of Xi'an's parents that year If she is the culprit, then the "Queen of Blazing" will let Mira Far serve as Xi'an's assistant to manage the Pangola assets in the Suman Islands.
"This is a secret deal reached between the "Blazing Queen" and Mut Pangula, with the purpose of making up for the pain suffered by the "Blazing Queen" due to the tragic death of her little daughter. "
"Why are Qian'an's parents involved again...Okay, okay, I won't ask. Anyway, you also know that I am not good at this."
Longke Pomida rubbed his tight brow:
"Eh, it really gives me a headache. I still like dealing with Kraken. Please go on, Jarvis."
Li Nuo placed Mira Far's chess piece in Qian'an's territory:
"The Pangola family owns more than 30,000 islands in the Suman Islands. Most of them have been mined for ore resources. They are now transformed into magic workshops or sold at very low prices. What I am trying to say is that the Pongula family did not see the true value of the islands."
Li Nuo took out the document he had made in advance and put it on the table between the two parties.
"I have counted the ore resources on small, medium, large, and super-large islands that have not yet been discovered by the Pangula family, and I have also estimated the actual ore reserves of more than a thousand islands. This includes the future of the Deep Sea Branch The sedimentary rock minerals required when building non-metallic ships.”
Li Nuo pushed the document in front of the two of them.
Selina had read the document in advance.
After she picked it up, she handed it directly to Longke Pomida.
Ronco Pomida was confused about the numbers on the document:
"Is it that the Pangula family's exploration ability is not as good as before, or is your exploration ability too strong? Why are the Pangula family's exploration results only one-half, or even one-third, of yours?"
"Obviously, Longke, my exploration ability is too strong." Li Nuo said:
"I know you may be a little skeptical about this, but it doesn't matter. I will show you a few islands as a demonstration."
Li Nuo said calmly:
"In this transaction I weave,
“The Deep Sea Branch will finally get what it wants and harvest a complete set of non-metallic magic products;
"Cian Nobbs and Mira Farr will make fortunes mining and smelting non-metallic ores;
“Mut Pangula will receive more family funds to consolidate the inheritance rights of his own line;
"The "Blazing Queen" will take a stronger and dominant position in the process of cooperating with Fagan Pangula to develop the Scorched Rock Platform because of the prosperity of her granddaughter Xian;
“The Haidel family will receive a large number of shipbuilding orders from the Deep Sea Branch and the local forces in the Suman Islands, starting the great cause of manufacturing non-metallic ships;
“I have provided the Deep Sea Branch with an efficient plan to deal with the Kraken, which will help the Chanal family stabilize the trade routes at sea, and they will also embrace trade prosperity as a result;
"If the Deep Sea Branch can use its own influence to launch an initiative: in the next few years, slowly transition from metal ships to non-metal ships, and eventually only allow non-metal ships to stay in the Suman Islands, then the cause of this incident will be The wave of non-metalization caused by the Metal Archosaur will spread from the Suman Islands, along the ocean trade routes, to the Cahir Continent, the Unas Ring and other places.
"What follows is a greater and broader demand for non-metallic ores."
Li Nuo smiled and said:
"The Suman Islands will usher in a golden age where mining, shipbuilding, shipping, trade and other fields will blossom. This is my plan." (End of Chapter)
