"Oh? Did the Siren let them go?" Li Nuo took the letter from Selena's hand and glanced at it, seeing the expected content.
He couldn't help but sneered:
"Ha, that's interesting. The Siren Queen is also engaging in psychological warfare."
The letter in Li Nuo's hand came from the Island Affairs Department in Suman City.
Among the wizards who were dragged to the bottom of the sea last night, a small number of people survived.
They dragged their half-broken bodies back to the Suman Islands.
This includes Joksim.
This group of survivors claimed that they and others witnessed the cruelty, bloodthirsty and power of the Kraken last night. It was the power of the deep sea that human wizards could never compete with, and even the deep sea branch could not compete with it.
The Kraken let them go, but it would not let go of the Suman Islands, especially the Deep Sea Branch in the core circle and Suman City in the inner circle.
If the full amount of magic materials cannot be handed over to the Kraken within 30 days, then the Kraken army under the Siren Queen Estano will attack Suman City in a large scale and wash away the shame of hundreds of years ago.
Well, after walking in front of the Kraken's life and death, Joksim and others became the Kraken's loudspeakers to spread the Kraken's prestige in the Suman Islands.
These guys said that the Deep Sea Branch was weak and incompetent, and called on everyone to prepare the supplies needed by the Kraken as soon as possible to prevent Suman City from facing a situation of devastation.
As the head of the richest family here in the Suman Islands, Joksim is willing to use part of his family property to protect Suman City from disasters, setting an example.
To make matters worse, Joksim also openly promoted the power of the Siren Kingdom.
"Queen Estano", "Queen's Realm", "Kingdom of Sirens" and other things are no longer secrets that only Li Nuo and Selina know.
Joksim told all these things to the wizards who had correspondence with him.
Just when Selina got the letter, the rumors spread by Joksim and others had already spread in Suman City.
Selina was shocked and angry at what the other party and others did.
Li Nuo, however, remained calm and placed the letter firmly on the table.
He knows more information.
There are two key pieces of information that appeared in the deconstruction results but were not revealed in the letter.
First:
The magic supplies needed by the Kraken Kingdom refer to high-concentration magic stones, not magic scrolls, magic circle materials, etc.
Each high-concentration magic stone can store 10,000 points of magic energy.
This is what the Kraken Kingdom desperately needs.
As for the type of magic energy stored in the magic stone, the Kraken Kingdom has no restrictions.
second:
This guy Joksim will sign a magic agreement with the Siren Kingdom in private.
He will indeed take the lead in making offerings to the Siren Kingdom.
but!
After the donation, the Kraken Kingdom will return all of his supplies, while also dividing a small portion of the tributes from other wizarding forces and giving them to him as a reward.
That's why Joksim was so active in calling on the wizarding forces to make offerings to the Siren Kingdom.
Li Nuo did not disclose this matter to Selina, he had other plans.
He considered his tone, pretended not to know what was going on, and sighed:
"The Siren Queen Estano is quite powerful. She is worthy of being a queen who can control the vast seabed territory. She is cruel and ferocious, but also has the strategy and intelligence to match her status. What the people from Joksim said is true. Yes, the Deep Sea Branch is too passive, almost weak, and is completely led by the siren."
Li Nuo paused:
"But don't worry, these days will pass soon. I promised to help the Suman Islands return to order and usher in prosperity, and that will happen naturally. You can call Longke back now, and tell me that I have a way Let the Deep Sea Branch move back to the situation in the next month or so, but we need his help."
"Okay, Jarvis, I'll do it right away." Selena took a deep breath and asked:
"Aren't you going to swing the stick at Joksim and the others?"
Li Nuo smiled:
"I'm going to swing another big stick. Let them jump for a while first. The more they jump, the more we will have. When Longke comes back, I will discuss countermeasures with him. You don't have to worry."
"Okay, I believe you." Selena nodded and watched Li Nuo leave.
Li Nuo will change the way of "turning the table" this time.
A way that can not only scare the Siren Queen, but also help the Deep Sea Branch control the Mantas family.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the Deep Sea Branch is willing to admit his love.
Otherwise, there is no need for Li Nuo to help the other party overcome the current difficulties, even with Selena as a link.
…
…
The next day, Selena's study.
Li Nuo brought the non-metallic ore distribution maps of the four small islands as promised.
Four small islands correspond to four distribution maps.
Before Li Nuo officially deconstructed the island, he became a member of the "Ore Elements Association" and obtained advanced textbooks on "Ore Exploration" and "Ore Mining".
These two bachelor skills have now reached level 50.
The reduction in deconstruction consumption they bring is amazing.
Li Nuo originally estimated that he had at most 500 million energy points left.
Unexpectedly, after receiving the deconstruction discount of knowledge skills, he only spent more than 2 billion energy points to get four distribution maps.
Energy value inventory remains at a high level of 900 million.
The distribution map provided by the deconstructed core system is accurate to the underground depth, reserves, grade, etc. of the mineral veins.
Li Nuo compiled the four distribution maps into a magic book.
The magic lock, which requires 5 million points to be deconstructed, strictly guards the top-secret information in the magic book.
This is the most complex magic lock that Li Nuo can make after mastering level 50 "Magic Lock Science".
It may take a year or more for the Deep Sea Branch to have a chance to forcibly break this magic lock.
Li Nuo unlocked the magic book that recorded the ore distribution map and placed it in front of Longke Pomida.
This sturdy fighting wizard had just returned from Shenyu Island not long ago.
He had already learned about the rumors spread by Joksim and others in Suman City.
If Selina hadn't repeatedly asked him to talk to Li Nuo first, he would have led his deep-sea combat wizards to surround the island of Joksim and others.
He picked up the magic book and read it from beginning to end, his eyes sparkling.
Anyone who gets such a detailed ore distribution map can't help but feel a little more trusting, and the same is true for Longke.
But his mind is not on mining ore for the time being.
To be precise, what Joksim and others did had damaged the reputation of the Deep Sea Branch, and he had to stop this farce quickly.
As for mining, let’s put it aside for now.
Longke closed the magic books, put them back on the table, and said in a low voice:
"When I catch the Yoksim gang, I will entrust the Pangola family to mine these non-metallic ores, Jarvis. I have to deal with the troubles caused by Yoksim immediately. One second every night, the Deep Sea Branch There will be an additional stigma.”
Li Nuo said:
"I heard that the people from Joksim have made an agreement that they will hand over a large amount of magic stones to the Kraken on the sea surface in the 13th sub-sea area of Xingluo Sea in 15 days at the earliest and a month at the latest. Supplies. He even invited the newspaper office of Unas Ring. Am I right?"
Longke hugged his arms and snorted coldly:
"Yes, there are many wizards who have encountered pirates and responded to their call. Those guys don't know what madness they have, and they actually listen to the words of the sea monster. Selina made statistics, and in just one day and night, they No less than 100,000 magic stones have been collected. After 15 days, there may be millions of magic stones falling into the Kraken's pockets. I can't let this happen."
"What do you think of the plan to kill all the sea monsters on the 13th sub-sea area of Xingluo Sea in 15 days?" Li Nuo asked.
Longke exhaled dullly:
"This plan is not very good. To be honest, the Deep Sea Branch cannot do this at all, otherwise it would not be trapped here in the Suman Islands.
"I'm not afraid that you will know that before taking over the Deep Sea Branch, the Pomida family was not an expert in the field of deep sea magic. We came from the field of water magic.
“Most of the deep sea spells mastered by the Deep Sea Branch were originally water spells, and only a small part were transformed from Kraken magic.
"Our "Tidal Surge" meditation method can remove the corrosiveness of deep sea magic, and then use the deep sea magic as water magic to cast deep sea spells that are similar to water spells.
"We say it's a deep-sea wizard, but in fact, it's just a deep-sea name. It's essentially the style of a water wizard."
Longke patted his head in distress:
"In the sea, deep sea wizards like us can never be the opponent of the Kraken. If the Estano Sea Monster Kingdom really wants to attack Suman City and the core circle, the most I can do is lead the deep sea fighting wizards Hold your ground.
"We have no chance of defeating the Kraken at sea unless we receive support from Hotams."
"The Estano Siren Kingdom will not attack the Suman Islands." Li Nuo nodded towards Selina beside him:
"I've already told Selena the reason."
"Yes, brother." Selena agreed:
"Joksim only knows that the magical power of the Kraken Kingdom in the deep sea far exceeds that of the Deep Sea Branch, but he does not know that the Kraken Kingdom is at war with the shadow creatures of Guluomi continent. The war between the two sides has lasted for hundreds of years. as long as.
"The pirate rebellions that occur every few years here in the Suman Islands are the sacrifices needed by the Siren Kingdom to collect rituals. The sacrifices will be turned into the power of the Siren Queen during the ceremony to strengthen the kingdom's magic against shadow creatures. field…"
Selena tells the absolute secrets of the Kraken Kingdom.
Longke Pomida moved slightly, a little surprised:
"Jarvis, you and Selina told this? How do you know these things?"
Li Nuo shrugged and said without changing his expression:
"If you have been to the northern seas of the Gulomi Continent, you will know that everything I say is true. Before I traveled to the Tatis Empire, I spent some time in the Gulomi Continent, and I am very aware of the predicament of the Kraken Kingdom.
"As long as we find ways to prevent the Siren Kingdom from collecting sacrifices, the Siren Kingdom will not be able to hold rituals normally, and the Siren Queen will naturally not be able to strengthen the magic field in the southern part of the kingdom. She will transfer all the Siren soldiers back to the southern part of the kingdom. , only in this way can we resist the shadow creatures."
Li Nuo raised his finger and said:
"I know that you don't know much about the predicament of the Siren Kingdom, and you are not willing to believe what I say. But, it doesn't matter. When Joksim and others hand over their tribute to the Siren, I will destroy the queen's domain.
"Lonke, all you need to do is to help me get rid of the Kraken, and then bring Joksim and other criminals back to face the trial of the Unas Ring Decree."
Longke was silent for a moment:
"If I hadn't known that you had mastered the "Sonic Explosion" spell, I would have almost thought you were bragging... Well, I believe what you said for the time being. What are you going to do? "
Li Nuo pushed the magic book that the other party had read before in front of him:
"Proceed as planned. You entrust the Pangola family to mine, prove that my ore information is accurate, and then we sign a long-term magic contract.
“When Joksim makes an offering to the Sirens, my thunder and lightning will fall from the sky, destroy some of the Sirens at the scene, and break the Queen’s barrier.
"You will appear as a hero of the Deep Sea Branch. Use the "Sonic Explosion Magic Scroll" I gave you to kill most of the sea monsters and scare Joksim and others. "
"Is it that simple?" Longke was stunned.
"Yes, it's that simple." Li Nuo clicked on the cover of the magic book:
"I have to sign a magic contract with the Deep Sea Branch first and get the private island in the core circle before I can lay out the thunder and lightning spells I need to use in the future.
"That private island will become my base for launching thunder clouds. In the future, the Deep Sea Branch can use the "Thunder Cloud Magic Scroll" for a fee to form a lasting deterrent to the sea monster.
You can discuss with Selena the cost of using Thundercloud for a fee. You can also buy magic scrolls of "Sonic Explosion" and "Underwater Burning Ray" from her when needed. "
Li Nuo smiled at Selina and said:
"Don't give Longke a discount just because he is your brother."
"Yes~" Selina nodded with a smile, causing Longke beside her to snort in dissatisfaction.
Longke felt helpless when he saw his sister obeying Li Nuoyan.
He touched his forehead and said:
"I have seen your methods, Jarvis, and my father also approves of your methods and future plans. As long as my father has seen your magic contract and thinks there is nothing wrong with it, we can sign it now."
"This couldn't be better, Longke. You won't regret making this decision." Li Nuo clapped his hands and grinned.
He winked at Selena.
Selina understood, took the pre-written contract from the desk, and placed it on the reception table between the three of them.
The main framework of this contract was thought up by Li Nuo himself.
The details are optimized by Selena.
simply put:
Li Nuo is Party A, and Shenhai Branch is Party B.
Li Nuo provided the Suman Islands' non-metallic ore distribution map, "Thunder Cloud Magic Scroll", "Sonic Explosion Magic Scroll", "Underwater Burning Ray Magic Scroll" and other things beneficial to the Deep Sea Branch for a fee.
The Shenhai Branch paid gold coins to Li Nuo in batches based on the services and goods provided by Li Nuo.
Every six months, the prices of services and goods will change based on the prosperity of the Suman Islands, and Selina will calculate the best price for both parties.
In addition to paying gold coins for Li Nuo's services and goods, the Deep Sea Branch will also permanently transfer an island in the core circle to Li Nuo and help him build magic facilities on the island.
Longke had previously relayed the death of Xido and the plan proposed by Li Nuo to his father, the dean of the Deep Sea Branch, Mingwak Pomida.
Mingwak was busy in Unas Ring and had no time to come to the Deep Sea Branch.
He asked Longke to take full responsibility for this matter.
As long as the magic contract signed with Li Nuo is beneficial to the Deep Sea Branch, there is no need to refuse.
Selena played a role as a matchmaker and served as a witness and link, which laid a certain foundation for the cooperation between the two parties.
For these reasons, after Longke carefully read the magic contract, he sent it to his father for review.
Half an hour later, Minwak's reply to Longke arrived.
Mingwak confirmed his acceptance of Li Nuo's magic contract and approved Longke's signing.
With a swipe of his pen, Longke wrote his name on the magic contract.
Li Nuo also wrote his name.
The magic contract book, which is more than three meters long, shines with dazzling white light.
It floated into the air, split in two, and split into two pieces of white light, which shot into the eyebrows of Li Nuo and Long Ke.
At this point, the magic contract is established.
Li Nuo took out more than 20 "Sonic Explosion Magic Scrolls" on the spot, along with the magic books recording the ore distribution map, and gave them to Selina for safekeeping, and the other party sold them to Longke.
Each magic scroll contains "sonic blast" with magical power reaching 10 million points of wind energy.
Li Nuo entrusted Selena with purchasing the wind energy.
The cost of purchasing the wind magic stone will be added to the price of the magic scroll and transferred to the Deep Sea Branch.
Li Nuo is specifically responsible for weaving wind energy into spells and storing them in scrolls.
Seeing that Li Nuo was so cheerful, Long Ke didn't delay.
He took out the ownership certificate of the islands in the core circle, drafted the contract to transfer the islands on the spot, and signed it with Li Nuo.
From now on, the medium-sized island numbered 033 in the core circle will be Li Nuo's private property.
"Selena and I will go first, Longke." Li Nuo signed the contract and looked slightly happy:
"I have to tidy up the island as soon as possible, so as not to delay future matters."
Selina put the magic scroll into her pocket, raised her skirt and stood up:
"Yes, brother, I'm going to help Li Nuo build the magic facilities on the island, so I won't stay here."
Longke sighed:
"Go, go. I'll go talk to Tailin and see how well she's taking care of the academy. What happened with Joksim and the others must have given Tailin a headache."
Selina activated the miniature ocean in the study and took Li Nuo to teleport away.
Longke slapped his thigh, stood up, and left his sister's study.
…
…
Li Nuo was right, he really had to build Island 33 as soon as possible.
There are many things waiting for this island to be launched.
The first thing is to transfer the personality data "Noreen" of synthetic human DKP-15 from the synthetic human main control chip to the arithmetic array.
Li Nuo has entrusted Comini to buy the materials for making the arithmetic array.
With all the materials in hand, Li Nuo only needs to build a top-secret alchemy laboratory to complete the steps of transferring personality data.
The second thing has to do with Nicole's Soul.
After two months of sleeping, this little girl is about to complete the work of weaving her soul with the help of angel seeds.
Before she regained consciousness, Li Nuo had to find a completely safe and private place to build a culture tank for her.
Only in this way can Li Nuo ensure that she grows up safely and happily.
This is one of the meanings of Island 33, it will be the place where Nicole regains her life.
The third thing is to build a base to launch thunder clouds.
Li Nuo will build Island 33 into a secret base that can launch thunderclouds at any time, with influence covering thousands of kilometers around the core circle.
Even if he leaves the Suman Islands in the future, he can still remotely control the launch base on Island 33 through "tracking markers" and "mind control" to complete all the steps of launching thunder clouds and thunder disasters from the sky.
The fourth thing.
Li Nuo wants to fulfill Dinas's wish and turn Island 33 into the island harbor in her heart.
It all starts today.
No outsiders will participate in the entire island construction work.
Selina, who will help Li Nuo manage the secondary dimension in the future, will personally lead her own magic servants to build all the magic facilities on the island for Li Nuo.
On Island No. 33, the figures of Li Nuo and Selena emerged from the clear water.
The island is covered with greenery and has several excellent havens.
Even without the power of magic, it can survive stormy weather unharmed.
Selina was listening to Li Nuo's design plan for the island facilities when she suddenly received a letter.
"Jarvis, Dicra Fagan is leaving the Suman Islands. He has recently received a formal transfer order from the family master and will go to the Jiaoyan Mesa to join his father Fagan Pangula."
Selina handed the letter to Li Nuo:
"He and his retainers and servants will take a magical mechanical ship and set off from the Suman Islands before tomorrow evening. When they reach the treasure sea, he will leave through the portal first, and his family's secret guards will escort the retainers and servants on their behalf. and the little wealth that remains.”
Li Nuo took the letter and read it briefly:
"Well, it's expected. Tell Mira Farr for me. I have something to discuss with her. Tomorrow night, I will help the "Queen of Blazing" take revenge and pave the way for Qian'an to become the only family leader in the local area. road. "
"Okay." Selena tapped her chin.
Li Nuo put his hands on his hips, looked up at the steep peaks and forests on the island, and took a deep breath of the refreshing air:
"The fact that the Kraken bewitched Joksim and the others is not a purely bad thing. It just helped me intensify some disputes and accelerate my plan."
Li Nuo looked at Selena who was staring at him:
"You will have a hard time in the next month. You have to help me build the island and deal with the annoying wizard forces. After Island 33 is on the right track, I will prepare to apply for the secondary plane from the Unas Ring."
"There's no need to be so hasty, Jarvis." Selena said softly:
"I believe you will fulfill your promise. You don't have to push yourself too hard. You can take your time."
Li Nuo shook his head slightly:
"I saw more things, Selina. I have a hunch that the Metal Archosaur will come to the Suman Islands."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Selina's breath was stagnant.
Li Nuo thought for a while and told the other party what he saw and heard at the bottom of the sea.
Since even the dragon carousel hidden under the sea can still be used, does that mean that there are still "live" dragon ruins in the whirling continent where dragon collections are emitted?
You know, the fact that there are dragons in the Whirling Continent has long been confirmed.
The Metal Archosaur returned to this world, obviously not for tourism.
After a little speculation, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that this sinister old dragon is likely to return to its old place in the Whirling Continent.
Li Nuo didn't know its purpose and motivation.
But thinking about it, the Suman Islands, as an outpost for exploring the Whirling Continent, will definitely become one of the footholds of the Metal Archosaur.
Also, don’t let your guard down just because you signed a magic contract with the Deep Sea Branch.
Mingwak Pomida, the head of the Pomida family, is by no means a good person.
There are three reasons why Li Nuo is so suspicious.
First, Mingwak, as the head of the family, may know about Hedo Pomida's defection to the Kraken. Mingwak may have deliberately allowed his second son to do this, and the motive of the purpose is not yet predicted.
When Li Nuo has the opportunity to meet Mingwak, he can learn the truth by deconstructing it.
The second reason to suspect that Minwak is not well-intentioned is:
Important matters such as family friendship must be decided by the head of the family.
Selena had a good relationship with Dikla Fagan before. Ronke didn't know about it, but Hedo knew about it.
The fact that Hedo persuaded Selina to marry Dickla happened a month ago, and Li Nuo had no way of knowing it using deconstruction.
But he thought that only the head of the family, Mingwak, could decide on matters as high as family friendship.
Therefore, in all likelihood, Hedo was instructed by his father to match Selina and Dikla.
Similarly, if you find Minwak and deconstruct him, you should know the true story of the matter.
The third reason for suspecting Minwak's unkindness is:
The process of signing the magic contract between Li Nuo and the Deep Sea Branch was too easy and fast, as if everything went according to his wishes.
Li Nuo thought deeply and realized that the bait he put down in the magic contract should have taken effect.
The magic scrolls he provided - "Sonic Explosion", "Underwater Burning Ray", and "Thunder Cloud Technique". Any one of these three spells is enough to make wizards go crazy.
A wizard who is obsessed with magic will definitely try his best to take these three spells as his own.
What a coincidence, Li Nuo wrote a penalty clause related to this in the magic contract:
When Li Nuo failed to fulfill his promise of "providing non-metallic ore distribution maps", he would either pay a fine of tens of billions of gold coins to the Pomida family, or provide magic props and spell blueprints of equal value as compensation.
Li Nuo doesn't have tens of billions of gold coins.
But he has the spell blueprint.
As long as he finds a way to make Li Nuo break the contract, Mingwak Pomida can use this as an excuse to ask Li Nuo for the blueprints of the three spells.
uh-huh.
This seemingly unfavorable clause to Li Nuo was intentional on his part.
Otherwise, how could Mingwak be lured into signing a magical contract with him.
Looking back at the motivation from the results, Li Nuo can be sure that Mingwak signed a magic contract with him for the sake of the three spells.
From Minwak's point of view, he is "taking a long shot and catching big fish."
From Li Nuo's perspective, this is not the case.
Li Nuo's approach undoubtedly coexists crisis and opportunity, which can be called "walking on a tightrope."
As long as he can get to the secondary plane as soon as possible and have a territory that is completely under his control, he can get rid of the "tightrope" and successfully land ashore.
This is the real reason why he regards "obtaining the secondary plane" as his primary goal. (End of chapter)
