"How could the Deep Sea Branch do this?" Dinas said angrily:
"Li Nuo has researched these spells himself, and is willing to share them with the Deep Sea Branch for a fee. But the Deep Sea Branch wants to study his spells. Isn't this behavior too despicable..."
Li Nuo raised his hand to hold Dinas's shoulder and said warmly:
"Don't be angry, Dinas. It's a small matter. What the Deep Sea Branch is doing is perfectly normal. If it were me, I would find a way to get rid of the constraints of the counterparty."
"Hmph..." Dinas snorted angrily:
"Anyway, I just can't stand what the Deep Sea Branch is doing..."
Li Nuo touched the back of Dinas' head and looked at Selena who was staring at him:
"You too, Selena, don't be angry, and don't be anxious. I expected this situation.
“According to Unas Ring Decree No. 1, only after any extraordinary creation is approved by the Ministry of Magic, the inventor of the extraordinary creation will have absolute control over it.
"The "Thunder Cloud Technique", magic transistor, mechanical spirit and other things I invented have not been recognized by the Ministry of Magic, and they are not protected by laws. The approach of the Deep Sea Branch makes sense logically and is legal at the legal level, but it is flawed only at the moral level. "
Selena said:
"Lonke has always been in charge of mobilizing combat wizards. He just told me today that there will be two holy combat wizards with malicious intentions to watch the battle. All this is my father's arrangement. What should we do?"
"Selena, let me ask a question first." Li Nuo said:
"Hotams has only heard of my "Thunder Cloud Technique" so far, and has not seen it cast thunder and lightning. In this case, can they create a spell similar to "Thunder Cloud Technique" based on the rumors? In other words, does Hotams have the ability to independently develop spells when there are no successful cases to refer to? "
Selena fell into memories:
"Hmm... when developing spells, there are no successful cases to refer to. That means you develop spells entirely based on your imagination. Is that what you mean?"
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded.
Selena shook her head slightly:
"This can't be done, Jarvis. Hotamus has only two ideas for developing spells. Either imitate natural phenomena and invent corresponding spells. Or he can study extraordinary abilities that are not protected by the Unas Ring Law and use Magical means can be used to reproduce it and create spells or magic devices. Without a reference, Hotams would not have been able to invent the spell."
Selena paused and asked:
"Do you want me to get rid of the two holy battle wizards? This... this is difficult to do. And there are more than just two wizards who will appear at the battle scene. Other combat wizards are also more or less capable. Record your spellcasting scenes. They can still provide Hotamus with the information necessary to develop spells."
"No, Selena, I didn't want to drive anyone away." Li Nuo chuckled:
"Everyone who attempts to imitate "Thunder Cloud Technique" and Mechanical Spirit will fail, there is no doubt about it. Dinas, you must be deeply touched. "
Dinas nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, they will definitely fail. I have helped Li Nuo make many mechanical spirits in the past ten days, and I have also tried to control the mechanical spirits. I know very well that except for Li Nuo and those authorized by him, It is impossible for anyone else to reproduce the "Thunder Cloud Technique" and the Mechanical Spirit. "
"Why..." Selena lowered her head and looked at the mechanical spirit at her feet.
This is a relatively simple alchemical creation.
Its appearance is similar to that of a water drop, with a length of about half a meter and a diameter of no more than 20 centimeters.
Its driving force underwater comes from the water flow formation near the tip of its tail.
Its power comes from the capacitor pack on its head, which contains more than 500,000 points of lightning energy and can instantly penetrate the defense system of a seven-ring battle wizard.
Is it difficult to imitate something like this?
No.
Selina only observed it for half a minute and figured out the principle.
If Hotams is allowed to obtain Li Nuo's Mechanical Spirit, it will take no more than three days at most before Hotams can apply for a patent from the Ministry of Magic.
At that time, Li Nuo, the real inventor, turned into a wizard criminal who copied Hotams.
Thinking of this, worry appeared in Selina's eyes again.
Seeing that she was silent, Li Nuo took out a magic ring from his magic pocket and handed it over:
"Come on, Selina. Take this. There are two ways to control the mechanical spirit. The first is to use the Golden Federation's control gloves. The second is to use psychic spells.
"The magic ring I gave you was bought from the market. It is enchanted with the "Psychic Beacon" and "Mind Control" of a certain holy psychic wizard. You use this ring to try to control my mechanical spirit. "
Selena took the ring, held it in her hand, and activated it.
She is well-informed and has mastered the skills of controlling mechanical spirits without Li Nuo's guidance.
First, throw out the "Psychic Beacon" to turn the mindless mechanical spirit into the target of psychic spells.
Secondly, throw "Mind Control" at the mechanical spirit to seize its control.
"Ah..." Selina suddenly cried out in pain and trembled as if she was electrocuted.
She forcibly interrupted the spell, encouraged the full moon, took several breaths, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.
Dinas wiped Selina's sweat with a handkerchief and said:
"How is it? You feel the backlash at the spiritual level. The principle of psychic magic is to use your own mind as a spear to deal with the enemy. While causing damage to other people's minds, our own minds will also be affected by the backlash.
"The "mind control" of the Holy Psychic Wizard can minimize the backlash effect, but it will still suffer severe mental backlash when controlling the mechanical spirit.
"And the phenomenon of psychic backlash ignores the psychic protection pendant and "psychic shield". Even if you are wearing the Saint's spiritual protection pendant, you can't stop the spiritual backlash. "
Selena's face turned pale and she rested for more than ten seconds before calming down her trembling heart.
Looking at the mechanical spirit at her feet again, she gradually understood where Li Nuo's confidence lay:
"I understand."
Selina raised her head, her eyes filled with light of understanding:
"Thunder Cloud Technique, Mechanical Spirit, and other extraordinary things created by you are actually not the key. Your psychic spells are the most important, and only you can resist the psychic backlash of manipulating them. "
"Well, that's right." Li Nuo nodded.
"What about the meta-reactor and the magic transistor..." Selina asked again:
"They can be controlled without psychic magic. How can we protect them?"
Li Nuo's expression became more serious:
"Once things like meta-reactors and magic transistors fall into the hands of outsiders, there will be a risk of being imitated by others. This is the meaning of signing a soul contract with you. I cannot completely prevent the emergence of imitations, I can only postpone them as much as possible This happens.”
Li Nuo's tone increased a few points.
Selena and Dinas also became serious.
Li Nuo said:
"So far, the only people who know about meta-reactors, magic arc furnaces and magic transistors are me, Dinas, Selena and Noreen. Eve Mastin, the demon wizard who was originally arranged by me to protect Dinas, Also terminated from my employment. The four of us are the only ones with access to things like the meta-reactor."
Li Nuo's eyes wandered across their faces:
"I trust you very much, so I invite you to improve and use my magical creations together. I don't want any of my magical creations to be leaked and controlled by anyone other than the four of us or anything else."
"I won't do such a stupid thing, Jarvis, please believe me." Selina said solemnly.
"Yeah, yeah! Me too." Dinas shouted, "Me too."
"Well, I know you won't betray me, that's why I chose you as my partner." Li Nuo said with a smile as the serious look on his face disappeared.
Selena asked:
"Then we need to apply for a patent from the Ministry of Magic? With a patent, your magical creations can be protected by the Unas Ring."
Li Nuo shook his head slightly:
"No, Selina. I will not seek protection from the Unas Ring. In fact, I don't have much sense of belonging to the Unas Ring. When I get the secondary plane, I will take you and disappear. I At most, out of responsibility, I would share some academic work with Professor Erica and become a lecturer. Other than that, I have no interest in anything else inside the Unas Ring."
Selena's eyes lit up:
"I knew you thought so..."
The light in Selena's eyes became dim again:
"But my father obviously doesn't think so. He thinks you are cunning, have lofty plans, and are good at hiding yourself."
Li Nuo smiled cheerfully and said:
"I have never met your father, but judging from your words, he should be a very strong person. Especially now that I have mastered some important spells and magic items, it is easy for someone like me to She'll be a thorn in his side. Don't worry too much, Selina. Time will tell."
"Yes! Li is right." Dinas patted the back of Selena's hand:
"I have been following Li Nuo for a long time, and I know him best. When he took me out of Gathering City, he once said that winning more or less at the card table is a trivial matter. I can take the money I won with me in time. Leaving is the real skill. Your father thinks that Li Nuo is far-sighted, but that’s just because he is that kind of person. Look at it, when Li Nuo gets the second plane, he will definitely leave from the Suman Islands without saying anything. Escape. When the time comes, no matter whether it is the Deep Sea Branch or Hotams, they will not be able to keep him even if they want to."
Li Nuo looked at his companion witch with admiration, his eyes full of admiration:
"Yes, yes, Dinas understands me very well."
"Hehe~" Dinas smiled sweetly.
"But, Jarvis... based on what I know about my father, I'm afraid he won't give up. Even if you show weakness, it's useless..." Selina said melancholy.
"Well, what you said makes sense. We can't place our hopes on your father's arrogant hands."
Li Nuo clapped his hands lightly and pointed at the mechanical spirit beside him:
"So, let's start taking action. Complete tomorrow's mission beautifully and crush the Queen's Domain with hard power."
Dinasi was full of energy, took out her alchemy tools, and began to repair the defects of the mechanical spirit.
Selena's movements slowed down a few beats, obviously still worried about what her father had done.
Li Nuo stopped her and said:
"Father's majesty and strength are engraved in the depths of your consciousness like a brand, Selena. Don't let the instinctive reactions you have formed over the past few decades interfere with your thinking and decision-making. As long as you give with your heart, You will naturally see the expected results, I promise you.”
Selina pursed her lips and nodded.
"Very good, go deal with those mechanical spirits. Their water flow array needs to be adjusted. The direction of the jet water is a little crooked."
Li Nuo pointed to the Mechanical Spirit aside and gave Selina a command.
Selina suppressed her uneasiness and devoted herself to work.
Li Nuo looked at the other party's figure and rubbed his chin.
He had also encountered women like Selina before traveling through time.
The conditions are favorable, the ability is strong, and the woman is old and unmarried.
On this basis, Selena also has a strong father.
Anyone who comes to her attention must consider whether they can handle her father.
If Li Nuo can't perform better than her father, or get his father's approval, then Selena will never be able to escape his father's control.
Li Nuo didn't feel disgusted by this.
Strategies are not problems, and there is no single correct solution.
Taking advantage of the situation is the true meaning.
Selena's father's family has a big business, and Li Nuo really can't compete with it in a short time.
However, Li Nuo's "small boat is easy to turn around" and he ran away when he could make money.
"Hehe." Li Nuo smiled secretly in his heart:
"Mingwak Pomida, Selena's father, when you thought I was going to go head-to-head with you, you were totally wrong. I was actually ready to run away.
"Do you think I will cling to Island No. 33?
"Sorry, I just planted a big bomb here."
Li Nuo suppressed the smile in his heart and looked at his feet. His eyes penetrated the floor and landed on the fourth and fifth floors underground.
There, Selina's magical servants are busy, seizing time to build intricate energy pipelines.
Li Nuo wants to turn Island 33 into a base for launching thunder clouds. This is indeed true.
If his cooperation with the Deep Sea Branch goes smoothly, the thunderclouds launched from here will provide strategic services to the Deep Sea Branch and bring him a steady stream of wealth.
But what if he breaks with the Deep Sea Branch, or even turns into a hostile relationship?
Wow Kaka~
Then Island No. 33 is a place that can explode at any time.
It will tell Selena's father where Li Nuo's confidence lies.
Island No. 33 is one body with two sides. It is both a base for launching thunder clouds and a shocking bomb.
Li Nuo holds a heavy weapon, which can be used to attack when advancing and defend when retreating.
…
…
In the blink of an eye, three days flew by.
In the morning, the weather was sunny.
Today is the day when Joksim and others will make offerings to the Kraken Kingdom in the 13th sub-sea area of Xingluo Sea.
The noise in the Suman Islands reached its peak with the arrival of this day.
The Deep Sea Branch is the first-level magic institution in the Suman Islands. It is responsible for researching spells, maintaining local order, and judging wizard criminals.
But the relationship between it and the many wizarding forces in the Suman Islands is not a superior-subordinate relationship of subordination and dominance.
The Deep Sea Branch can suggest and request wizarding forces to do or not do anything, but it cannot restrict any legal behavior of the other party.
Joksim is the local manager of the Mantas family and represents the extremely wealthy Mantas family.
In his eyes, by dedicating magic stones to the Kraken, he was not colluding with the enemy, but purchasing services.
Yes, purchase services.
He drew up a magical contract specifically for this purpose.
He and the wizard forces convened by him are Party A of this magical contract, and the Siren Kingdom is Party B.
The two parties agreed that Joksim and others would pay a large sum of magic stones to purchase security services in the "Treasure Sea" and other waters surrounding the Suman Islands to protect them from "kraken attacks".
After the Siren obtains the magic stone, he will issue a pass woven by the Siren's magic to every wizard who purchases this service.
The ocean-going ships of wizards holding this certificate will not become the enemy of the Kraken.
Did Joksim and others violate the Unas Ring Law by doing this?
It's hard to say whether it's a violation or not.
the reason is simple.
The pass given by the Kraken will indicate the sea areas that are protected from the Kraken's attacks:
The Treasure Sea to the north of the Suman Islands, the Storm Sea to the south, the Black Fold Sea to the west, the Great Sea to the east, and many sea areas around the Cahir Continent.
The above sea areas are not the territory of Unas Ring.
They do not belong to anyone or any extraordinary force.
In this world, they exist like the high seas.
Joksim and others paid Kraken to purchase services on the high seas. Whether this violated the laws of the Unas Ring has become a hot topic of controversy in the Suman Islands and the Unas Ring recently.
Others were talking a lot, waiting to see what the Deep Sea Branch would do.
The Deep Sea Branch kept a low profile and hardly stopped Joksim from convening wizard forces and collecting magic stones.
Moreover, the Deep Sea Branch, as a local first-level magic institution, has indeed failed to clean up the Kraken and maintain order in accordance with its agreement with many wizarding forces.
The Deep Sea Branch made a mistake first.
The act of purchasing services from Kraken is the result of the incompetence of the Deep Sea Branch.
Relying on this, Joksim persuaded many wizarding forces to belittle the Deep Sea Branch and follow him to purchase services from the Kraken.
In sub-sea area No. 13, this area belongs to the Chanal family. At this time, there are many shadows of ships, gathering the fleets of many wizard forces.
Lape Chanal of the Chanal family received advice from the Deep Sea Branch and acquiesced to the gathering of wizarding forces on his own territory.
He is one of the few family leaders who knows that the Deep Sea Branch will launch a counterattack.
In order to cooperate with the Deep Sea Branch to put on a good show, he specially arranged several maritime patrol fleets to maintain order at the edge of the No. 13 sub-sea area.
On the surface, he was trying to prevent the Siren from betraying his trust and taking the magic stone without signing the contract, but in fact, he was trying to prevent the wizard fleet on the 13th sub-sea area from sneaking away.
This is the instruction from the Deep Sea Branch.
Lape Chanal didn't know what the Deep Sea Branch would do specifically.
He only knew that he must not let his maritime patrol fleet enter the No. 13 sub-sea area, otherwise it would inevitably scatter into smoke.
Likewise, this advice also comes from the Deep Sea Branch. (End of chapter)
