Li Nuo and Dinasi made the capacitor pack Mechanical Spirit at the same time.

In Selena's study.

Selina sat back on the chair, with a dozen magic pens in front of her that were used to write words quickly.

The writing sound of swishing swish is continuous, and there is a rush in the smoothness.

One reply after another was sent by her magic messenger, and one letter after another was sent by the magic messenger and placed on her desk.

As a busy strong woman, Selina has twenty magic messengers.

These white shells, which trail bubble tails and are suspended in the air, only do two things - transport them to put down the envelope, and hold another letter in their mouths and transport them away.

The cycle begins over and over again, day after day.

After working for more than ten days in a row, the speed of the letters slowed down until the day approached when Joksim surrendered to the Kraken.

Selena used her white fingers to hold the center of her eyebrows and slowly rubbed them, sighing softly:

"Hey, when I become the manager of Jarvis, I won't be so busy. It's really a headache. I even meditate in the study these days, and my meditation time has been reduced by a full three points. One. If this continues, how long will it take for me to be promoted to the tenth ring..."

"Crash!" The sound of water came from a miniature ocean.

Selena looked over and saw rippling water, which meant someone was trying to teleport over to see her.

There were very few people who could be teleported directly to her study. They were either relatives or important members of the Ministry of Magic and Wizarding Law Enforcement Department.

Selina took a breath, straightened her clothes, and threw a water column towards the swaying miniature ocean.

The miniature ocean contracted, and a human figure spit out with a pop.

This person is tall and tall, wearing a dark blue uniform from the Deep Sea Branch. His eyebrows are slightly similar to Selena's.

"Brother, why are you here? Are you having trouble summoning battle wizards?"

When Dinas saw that the person coming was her eldest brother, she leaned back in her chair and relaxed.

Long opened the chair and sat down opposite his sister:

"There's no problem in summoning the battle wizards, Selina. We're ready for tomorrow's battle. I'm here for other things."

"Hmm, tell me, what's the matter? If you want to discuss the price of the "Sonic Explosion Magic Scroll", then I'm afraid I can't help. The price of the scroll is already very low. "Selena picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Longke waved his hand:

"That's not the case... To be honest, I just came back from my father. He thinks that the magical contract we signed with Jarvis is generally fine."

"In general?" Selena chuckled:

"Generally speaking, there is no problem. Doesn't that mean there is a serious problem? Tell me, which one does father want to change? I will talk to Jarvis."

"No, he didn't mean to modify the magic contract." Longke thought about the sentence and said:

"He thinks... uh... hey, it's really hard for me to talk about this..."

Longke was so troubled that he looked constipated...

Selena frowned:

"What do you want to say? Brother. Why are you so coquettish today?"

Longke lowered his head to take a breath, mustered up the courage to look up and said:

"Father said that considering that Jarvis may have a stronger influence in the Deep Sea Branch in the future, or even in the Hotams and Unas rings, we must prepare in advance to avoid conflicts between the two sides. status becomes unequal.”

Selena frowned:

"What do you mean? What does father want to do? Sign another longer-term magic contract with Jarvis? I can discuss it with Jarvis.

"But, to be honest, my father has gone astray. Jarvis only wants to run his own sub-dimension. From what I know about him, he is at most willing to become a lecturer in the future. He said to the congressman It can be said that I have absolutely no interest in things like becoming a professor and entering the Ministry of Magic. So how can I say that I have influence?"

Ronke looked at Selena asking him back and smiled bitterly:

"Your reaction now is exactly what father expected. This is the most extraordinary thing about Jarvis. Father said that Jarvis not only has far-reaching plans, but is also very good at hiding his true intentions. He also said that Selena This silly girl, who only wants to get rid of the mess in the Suman Islands as soon as possible, will definitely believe what Jarvis said and refute me for Jarvis. You see, my father was right."

Selena crossed her arms, crossed one leg, looked up at the ceiling, and looked like she didn't want to talk to the other person:

"So what if my father told me everything, brother. Unless you have a way to sort out all the troubles in the Suman Islands, there will never be peace here. I will still go with Jarvis."

Longke scratched his hair, obviously troubled by his sister's words:

"This is the result of Jarvis's careful layout, Selina. Please listen to me patiently. Jarvis's layout is too profound. It wasn't until my father and I analyzed these things that I suddenly realized that Jarvis Si's layout is so secretive. If you don't believe me, you should believe my father. He has lived for more than two hundred years and he must know more than us."

"Okay, you say it." Selina propped her head on the armrest.

"That's it..." Longke paused:

"The main crisis here in the Suman Islands is caused by the Estano Siren Kingdom, right?"

"Yes." Selena nodded lazily.

"There are three main threats to us from the Kraken Kingdom." Longke said with his fingers:

"The first thing to bear the brunt is the magical realm of the Siren Queen, followed by the large number of Siren troops, and finally the large number of legendary deep sea monsters. Things like the Dreadsail Wizard can only make a small fuss at most, and it is difficult to shake the Deep Sea Branch. the foundation of.”

"Hmm..." Selena hummed in response.

Longke continued to count his fingers:

"First, the Queen's Domain. Jarvis will show us his ability to break the Queen's Domain in more than ten days..."

Selena chimed in:

"Yes, and once he succeeds, he will provide paid strategic services to the Deep Sea Branch to help the Deep Sea Branch break more of the Queen's Domain. Not only the strategic services of breaking the Queen's Domain, but also the magic scrolls to fight against the Siren Army and the legendary Deep Sea Warcraft. , thunder and lightning spells, etc., Jarvis will provide it to the Deep Sea Branch for a fee through me. These things are written on the magic contract."

"Listen to me, Selena, I know what you said." Longke shook his hand and said:

"Don't you think it's very dangerous for these things that can influence the future of the Deep Sea Branch to be in the hands of outsiders? If we can't get rid of Jarvis's influence, we will always have to buy his magic scrolls.

"If he wants to cooperate with other branches and other wizarding forces, then as long as he takes the Deep Sea Branch as an example, can't he easily gain trust? In a sense, our Deep Sea Branch has become his way to promote magic scrolls in the future. exhibits.”

Selena let out a long sigh:

"Hey, after saying so much, I finally understand what my father means. He hopes that when Jarvis uses the case of the Deep Sea Branch to sell scrolls in the future, he will take the Deep Sea Branch to get a piece of the pie, right? In other words, my father actually intends. Help Jarvis expand the sales of scrolls, but the prerequisite is that Jarvis and him reach a new sharing-type magic contract, right?"

Longke didn't speak, he just pursed his lips tightly and looked at Selina, turning into his original constipated look where he wanted to say something but didn't dare.

Selena was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came back to her senses!

"Wait! What did you just say? 'In the hands of outsiders'? 'Outsiders'?"

Selena's delicate body trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Longke breathed a sigh of relief and grinned:

"Haha~ I knew you could understand what father meant. Yes, father hopes that you and Jarvis will marry. Only in this way can our relationship be stronger. Of course, this matter must be discussed after Jarvis breaks the queen's domain. I’m here today just to give you a heads up so that you can be mentally prepared.”

Selena couldn't laugh or cry, and shook her head:

"It's impossible, brother. This thing is completely impossible."

"Is it because of the accompanying witch? Don't worry about this. According to the Unas Ring Decree No. 2, the existence of the accompanying witch does not affect the marriage in the sense of the decree." Longke persuaded.

Selena said:

"No, brother, what I want to say is that Jarvis will not marry anyone, including me and Dinas."

"How do you know..." Longke opened his mouth.

"That's my gut feeling."

Selena interrupted the other party's speech and said in an emphasis:

"You don't need to delve into it. My intuition has always been very accurate. He and I may develop beyond the ordinary level, but you don't have to think about marriage. If my father wants to deepen our cooperation, it is best to choose a magic contract. Looking forward to marriage."

Longke was speechless and silent for a few seconds:

"Well, it seems that my father was right. He anticipated that the marriage would not be possible, so he took countermeasures in advance."

Selena frowned and felt a little bad:

"What countermeasure?"

Longke rubbed his palms and said:

"This time there are two holy battle wizards who have been invited to sit in charge. They were invited by my father.

"The two of them retired from Hotams many years ago and became "hermit wizards."

"One is a holy lightning wizard named Benqi Jilei. The other is a holy wind wizard named Clint Windhawk.

"After they heard that someone here in the Deep Sea Branch had developed high-power lightning spells and wind spells, they accepted their father's invitation and came to watch the battle and help along the way."

"Accumulating thunder...Wind Eagle" Selina frowned and said:

"Why haven't I heard these last names before?"

"It's normal, Selina. When the two of them retired, they erased all family and personal information in all the academy books. The same goes for other hermit wizards. They all cleaned up all writings related to themselves before retiring. .”

Longke spread his hands and said:

“Since Jarvis could not be transformed into a member of the Pomida family through marriage, my father decided to entrust Hotams to research Jarvis’s magic in order to weaken his influence on the Deep Sea Branch.

"Those two students of the holy battle wizards now happen to be Hotams's professors, mentors, or spell weavers who are responsible for developing spells. After the two of them collect the spell data on site, they will Leave it to Hotams to help develop the spell. That's it. This is my father's arrangement."

Selena seemed a little sullen:

"But why doesn't father try to sign a contract with Jarvis?! I haven't discussed this matter with him yet, and you are going to steal his spells?!"

"No, it's not plagiarism, it's borrowing and research and development."

Longke quickly reassured:

"Don't be impulsive, Selina. My father is not trying to break up with Jarvis, nor is he trying to interfere with your relationship with Jarvis. You have to know that in matters like signing a magic contract, if you want to win a bigger deal, In terms of interests and fairness, you have to ensure that you have enough bargaining chips.

"The spells developed by Hotams may not be as powerful as Jarvis, but they can still help us be on an equal footing with Jarvis.

"Furthermore, in extreme cases, with the spell developed by Hotams, we won't be at a disadvantage in front of the Siren because of the loss of Jarvis's magic scroll.

"You don't want your family and college to be controlled by outsiders... uh... by Jarvis, right? Do you think your father is right?"

"Ha..." Selina was silent for a long time, then sneered inexplicably:

"Father is still so shrewd. He can manipulate family members and plot against me and you, but it was a mistake for him to set his sights on Jarvis. He will not succeed."

Longke breathed out dullly:

"Selena, my father is just protecting the family. After all, no one can guarantee whether Jarvis will use strategic services as a springboard to shake his father's position in the future. We have to prevent the worst case scenario from happening."

"You underestimated Jarvis..."

Selina was about to speak, but was interrupted by Longke.

"Selena. I'm just here to remind you, not to argue with you. Neither you nor I can change anything."

Longke said:

"Well...Finally, my father asked me to bring you a message.

"He said, 'No one in this world is irreplaceable, only the knowledge in our minds will always follow us.'

"In the final analysis, Jarvis was able to get an island from the Deep Sea Branch because he had more knowledge. When we learn his knowledge, then he will naturally..."

Longke waved his hand and did not finish his words.

He glanced at the absent-minded Selina, stood up, turned into a stream of water, and got into the miniature ocean when he came from.

Selina was stunned for a while, and the expression on her face changed from vague anger to sadness and anxiety.

She stood up holding on to the edge of the table and turned into water and flew into another miniature ocean.





Island No. 33, three floors underground.

The cultivation equipment on the underground floor has been constructed and will become the place where Nicole grows up in the future.

The second underground floor is Noreen's workshop.

The third underground floor was recently built, and Li Nuo and Dinas transformed it into an alchemy workshop for manufacturing and storing props such as weapon spirits.

The fourth and fifth underground floors are still under construction. Selina's magic servants estimate that it will take half a month to a month to complete the construction of these two floors.

At this time, Li Nuo and Dinas were inspecting the mechanical spirit they had made.

With Norin as an assistant, the work of mass-producing mechanical spirits is much easier.

Li Nuo and Dinasi are responsible for producing a large number of parts at one time, while Norin controls the finished mechanical spirit and assembles new mechanical spirits, forming a situation similar to "robot self-replication".

In just these ten days, they have produced more than 1,500 capacitor-packed mechanical spirits, as well as several other types of mechanical spirits.

Three days later, it was the day for Joksim to make an offering to the Siren.

Today, Li Nuo and Dinasi must check the Mechanical Spirit to make sure everything is perfect.

Of course, Li Nuo, who possesses deconstruction skills, is mainly responsible for the inspection work. Dinas mostly follows his instructions to repair defective mechanical spirits.

While the two were busy, Selina, who had disappeared for several days, flew in from the window on the ceiling and landed on the wooden floor of the third underground floor.

"Selena, are you finished with your work at the academy?"

Li Nuo turned his head and looked at the witch who looked a little strange.

He leaned down and continued to inspect the mechanical spirit placed on the ground, while saying:

"If you feel unwell, just rest more. Dinas and I can handle these mechanical spirits."

Selina quickly walked towards Li Nuo who was bent over, with a look of grievance on her face and tears in her eyes.

Li Nuo heard the footsteps and stood up straight to look over.

After seeing Selina's expression and eyes, Li Nuo knew something was wrong, so he quickly stepped on her feet and walked around behind Dinas.

Dinasi was currently squatting on the ground tinkering with the Mechanical Spirit.

She suddenly felt her body being pulled up by the "Psychic Capture", and then she was pushed forward, blocking Selena and Li Nuo.

"What are you doing?" Dinasi looked at Li Nuo in confusion, not fully understanding the situation.

Turning her head to look at Selena, Dinas saw a face stained with tears.

She put down the alchemy tools in her hands, walked forward, took Selina's hand, and asked with concern:

"What's wrong, Selena? Why are you crying..."

Seeing that Dinas had stopped Selena, Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

A deconstruction technique was thrown along his gaze, and his heart moved slightly as he saw what had just happened to the other party.

Dinas threw a detection spell at Selena, trying to see if the other party was injured.

"I'm not hurt, Dinas. I just encountered something, something that was difficult to contend with."

Selena calmed down a little, but there were still tears in her eyes. It seemed that her mood was fluctuating for a while and it was difficult to calm down:

"My father asked Longke to bring me a message... He asked Longke to tell me a lot of things. He just wanted to force Jarvis to hand over the spell blueprint... I know him very well."

Dinas took out her handkerchief and gently wiped Selena's tears:

"This matter sounds very difficult, but it will be okay. We should believe that Li will handle it well. But why are you crying? I always thought you were very strong..."

Li Nuo finished reading the other party's memory fragments, thought for a moment and said:

"Well... I can probably guess the reason. Actually, Selena, you really want to get rid of your father's arrangement, right?

"In your opinion, there is a high probability that I will fail in the confrontation with your father. Once I fail, you will not be able to get rid of your father's arrangement. This is why you feel wronged and may even cry."

Selena said:

"It seems...it seems like this."

Li Nuo smiled and comforted:

"Relax, Selena. There is this saying:

"No one in this world is irreplaceable, only the knowledge in our minds can always accompany us."

Selena's pupils dilated and her delicate body trembled.

Li Nuo continued:

"As long as we always ensure that we know more than others, we will naturally be invincible, right?"

Selina looked at Li Nuo in a daze, the sadness, grievance and anxiety in her eyes quickly dissipated, replaced by determination and admiration.

Dinas caressed the back of Selena's hand and said:

"I think Li is right. Knowledge is our greatest confidence. He is the fastest and most solid learner among all the people I have met so far."

Seeing that Selina's mood had stabilized, Li Nuo began to follow the normal social process and ask about what happened before - even though he already knew everything through deconstruction.

Selena told the truth and repeated Longke's words to Li Nuo and Dinas.

Selena considered her father's proposal for marriage, but she did not say it after careful consideration.

Li Nuo learned about this matter through deconstruction, but also didn't mention it much, just pretending that it didn't exist.

Dinas's little mind could not imagine that it was so deep.

But when she heard that Selina's father had entrusted Hotams to study Li Nuo's magic, no matter how gentle Dinas's character was, she would inevitably feel angry.
