Suman Islands, core circle, island No. 33.
In the study room on the fifth floor.
Li Nuo opened his eyes and looked around, only to see Dinas holding a book and reading, but not Selina.
"You're awake."
Dinas closed the book in her hand, bent her arms and put them on the table, leaning her head and staring at Li Nuo:
"How about it? Professor Erica promised to help you mediate the conflict?"
"She agreed and has already sent the letter to Selena's father." Li Nuo said with a smile.
"Huh~" Dinas patted the full moon and breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good. Although it may not help us completely resolve the conflict, it can at least buy us a relatively safe period of time."
"Are you worried that Mingwak Pomida will take the opportunity to attack us and kill us?" Li Nuo raised his hand and touched the other person's head gently.
"Of course." Dinas couldn't help feeling disgusted when she thought of what the "Holy Thunder Wizard" had done:
"I don't expect that kind of person who stabs you in the back to be so tolerant. I estimate that after a while, when he feels that your mental trauma has healed, he will attack you again. When will you completely give in? , he will consider whether to stop."
"Hey~ you think a lot." Li Nuo's eyes showed love, and he rubbed the other person's face so tender that it could ooze water:
"So based on what you know about me, what do you think I will deal with Minwak Pomida in the future?"
"Do you really want to hear it?" Dinas asked.
"Well, yes. Since we left Gathering City, we haven't had a detailed discussion about future matters for a long time." Li Nuo nodded.
Dinas sat up straight, cleared her throat, tightened the lines of her pretty face, raised her index finger, and said seriously:
“The most important thing is your goals.
"Your goal has always been clear, and you will run towards it unswervingly. Clarifying your goal is equivalent to clarifying your motivation. Then according to your personality and thinking habits, deduce the way to achieve your goal , the enemy will know your movements.
"If you don't want to be manipulated by Minwak Pomida, then you must do it to spread suspicion and distort his judgment of your future movements."
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and joked with a smile:
"Okay, Dinas. Have you passed the stage of love brain? How come your IQ has increased so much all of a sudden?"
"Hey, be serious, I'm talking to you about business." Dinasi pushed Li Nuo's arm and said coquettishly:
"I just react a little slowly sometimes, and I'm not a fool. Just let me finish~"
"Okay, okay, keep talking." Li Nuo stopped smiling and became serious.
Dinas said:
"Your goal is to obtain a piece of the sub-plane. Selina knows this, and so does his eldest brother and father. If you are allowed to obtain the sub-plane, you will lose control.
"All factors that are conducive to your acquisition of the secondary plane but are beyond your control will be included in the elimination list by Selina's father.
"The most typical one is the research mission of the Wizards Advancement Association that you accepted during the sixth ring stage.
"As long as you are unable to complete the research task, you will not be able to advance to the seventh ring, and you will not be able to purchase the secondary plane at a lower price."
Dinas clenched her fist and hammered her pink palm:
"On this basis, if you cut off your capital chain and seize your gold coins, it will be difficult for you to stand up.
"And the way Minwak Pomida cuts off your capital chain is the magic contract you signed with the Deep Sea Branch.
“According to the agreement in the contract, if you cannot supply the distribution map of non-metallic ores normally, it will be regarded as a breach of contract and you will pay tens of billions of gold coins in compensation to the Deep Sea Branch.
"This huge expense is enough to wipe out all the wealth you have accumulated, and may even lead to debt that you cannot pay off in your lifetime."
Li Nuo asked calmly:
"So in your opinion, how can I avoid this situation?"
Dinas clapped her hands lightly:
"Of course, ask your professor for help. "Silent Girl" can have an additional teaching professor, which is better than having her alone to handle the academic work. Professor Erica will definitely work hard to help you complete your research tasks. "
Li Nuo raised his hand and caressed the other person's face:
"Very good, Dinas. You are the person who understands me best."
Dinas responded with a smile:
"Hehe~ Let's take advantage of this period of time. Mingwak Pomida won't come to trouble us, so we can quickly improve our learning progress and meditation level. I feel that with your ability, you want to learn a link Taking the Sixth Ring Course is a very simple matter. The only thing that will delay the process is meditation."
Li Nuo smiled and shook his head slightly.
He took out a dagger from his magic pocket and put it on the table.
He pointed at the dagger and asked:
"Let me ask you a question, Dinas. When I can't cast spells, protect myself with a shield, or turn into a giant by injecting biochemical agents, if the enemy inserts this dagger into my heart, will it? Can it kill me?"
"Hmm... ok." Dinas responded thoughtfully.
Li Nuo continued:
"Isn't the clause related to compensation in the magic contract I signed with the Deep Sea Branch very similar to this dagger? Both of them are fatal to me who can't resist. Right?"
"Well, yes." Dinas nodded and asked:
"Do you want to delete this clause? Or reduce the amount of compensation?"
Li Nuo smiled and waved his hand:
"No. I won't do that. Even if I do apply to change the terms, Minwak Pomida won't agree."
"Then what do you think?" Dinas scratched her head in confusion.
"When I slap the dagger in front of the enemy, the enemy will only be thinking about one thing."
Li Nuo pointed to his body:
"That's how you force me into a situation where I can't use magic, and then pierce the dagger into my heart. Right?"
"Yes." Dinas was confused.
"But here's the problem, who said this dagger is my weakness?"
Li Nuo smiled evilly.
With lightning speed, he picked up the dagger on the table, opened the clothes on his chest, and stabbed it straight into his heart!
"Ah! Come on, Jarvis!"
Dinah screamed in horror!
She was very sure that the other party didn't have a shield!
But…
"Qiang!"
The sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly appeared!
The dagger breaks!
It was as if it had hit something made of steel, and shattered into several pieces under Dinas' gaze.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
Fragments of the dagger were scattered everywhere.
Look at Li Nuo's chest again.
The dagger didn't even leave a faint mark.
"I never said that the dagger was my weakness, just like I never admitted that the compensation clause in the contract was my true destiny."
Li Nuo used "Psychic Grasp" to pick up the dagger fragments on the ground and put them on the table in front of Dinas:
“Anyone who insists on using the terms of the contract against me will smash my body into pieces like this dagger.
"Because, from the beginning, the terms of the magic contract and my desire to obtain the secondary plane from the Unas Ring were just my tools and rhetoric."
Dinasi looked at the broken dagger on the table and was stunned:
"How come your body is so strong?"
Dinas casts a resurrection detection spell:
"Strange, the feedback the spell gives me is not unique. Your body seems to be no different from ordinary male humans..."
Li Nuo smiled and said nothing.
This is the camouflage effect of level 100 "Disguised Living Corpse".
Dinasi's detection spell was only at level 50, so there was no way she could see through his disguise.
"Whether my body is strong or not is not what matters, Dinah."
Li Nuo swept the dagger fragments on the table into his magic pocket:
"The point is, I actually have no intention of obtaining the secondary plane I want through conventional means. Of course, you can also understand that I have changed my plan because of recent events.
"But no matter what the truth is, I want you to do one thing for me."
Dinas tilted her head slightly:
"What's going on?"
Li Nuo pondered for a moment and said:
"Go to your professor and tell her:
"As long as she can help us deal with the time flow problem of the magic ruins and ensure that you and I can come out of the magic ruins safely, I am willing to give her half of the proceeds from each expedition."
Dinas exclaimed:
"Are we going to explore the magical ruins? When? Is it within the next few months?"
"Yes, but this is just a preliminary plan for the time being." Li Nuo stroked the other party's head:
"If you are afraid, you can wait for me on Island 33."
Dinasi held Li Nuo's hand:
"No! I'm not afraid! I'll go with you.
"I can't cast spells across planes yet. If you run into trouble in the magic ruins and need my help, but I'm not by your side, it will be completely bad."
Dinasi held Li Nuo's hand tightly and placed it in her palm:
"I must enter the magic ruins with you. I have learned all the new spells of the fourth level, and I will never hold you back."
"Aren't you afraid of accidental death? Dinas." Li Nuo said:
"No matter how capable I am, there will be times when I am too busy. You may die in the magic ruins. Aren't you afraid?"
Dinasi pursed her lips tightly, stared at Li Nuo for a few seconds, and then rushed forward to give him a hard kiss.
She hugged Li Nuo's shoulders and said softly:
"You are the best contractor in the world. It's all your fault for making me feel the beautiful side of contractors. I can no longer look down on other wizards.
"I'm afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid of life without you.
"I look down on other wizards, so naturally I won't make a contract with them.
“After losing you, I will watch myself die slowly and spend the rest of my years regretting that I did not enter the ruins with you.
"Please let me go with you, Lee."
"Okay, okay, I didn't say not to let you go." Li Nuo gently stroked the other person's back:
"I originally planned to take you with me. I don't feel comfortable leaving you in the Pomida family's territory."
Dinasi still hugged Li Nuo's shoulders and breathed out like a blue.
Li Nuo wanted to continue to let the other party hold him, but the rhythm coming from the soul level did not allow him to do so.
"Selena is coming back, Dinas." Li Nuo said softly:
"Go to your study and discuss it with your professor. What she desires most is the magic of rebirth. I can give it to her, but only if she helps us."
"Uh-huh…"
Dinasi let go of her arms, rubbed her hot cheeks, made a fist and gave Li Nuo a light hammer on his chest:
"It's all your fault. Why are you so nice to me? Huh, you're so annoying."
Dinas snorted, twisted her waist and peach, and left the room angrily.
Li Nuo was a little dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Why are you suddenly angry?
Li Nuo put a big question mark in his mind.
Before he could think about it, the magical fog outside the window began to billow.
A stream of water emitting aqua-blue light passed through the magical fog unhindered and flew straight towards the house where Li Nuo was located.
Li Nuo quickly adjusted the camouflage effect of "Disguise Living Corpse" and tried to restore himself to a half-dead appearance.
But he was still a little slow...
The water flow passed directly through the crack in the window, without going through the main entrance...
Selena's figure appeared in the flash of water.
She took off the aqua blue robe and returned to her liquid robe.
There was still a trace of anger on her face, but after seeing Li Nuo's half pale, half normal-skinned face, her anger was replaced by a series of complicated expressions.
Surprise, doubt, thinking, enlightenment, regret, trembling...
"Leno! Jarvis!"
Selena raised a self-deprecating sneer:
"You actually lied to me! You weren't hurt at all! I was played by you like a fool! Fortunately, I ran to the sea to find Longke Theory! Is this how you treat your future manager! Between us Don’t you even have this little trust?!”
Li Nuo smiled awkwardly.
He urgently called Dinas in his heart to come for help, but he only heard two dissatisfied hums and "I won't help you! I'm busy contacting the professor! Don't disturb me!".
Li Nuo sighed silently, and the pale complexion on his face disappeared, no longer pretending to be sick.
He said calmly:
"Selena, don't be angry. If I don't let you burst out with your true feelings, how can you hide it from the magical clones of the two super creature wizards beside Longke. Are you right?"
Selena looked stunned for half a second:
"Do you know that it was the super holy wizard who did this?"
Li Nuo nodded calmly and said:
"That's natural, otherwise I wouldn't have deliberately pretended to be sick to arouse your emotions. I'm sorry, Selena, please accept my apology. In order to ensure that things go as planned, I have to do this."
The anger and complaint between Selina's brows dissipated a little.
She pulled open the seat opposite Li Nuo, sat down angrily, and said in a bad tone
"You've thought it through. Before I went to find Longke, I didn't know that the two so-called holy battle wizards were actually the magical clones of the star wizard."
Selina raised her eyebrows, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, feeling much calmer:
"Yes, you did the right thing. You really should have kept me from knowing the truth. If I didn't show enough anger and madness, it would be inconsistent with the letter you asked your professor to write to my father."
"Oh? Do you already know about Professor Erica's letter to your father?" Li Nuo asked.
Selina rolled her eyes at him:
"It's hard not to think about it. Who told you to be so fast? As soon as I left here, you went to complain to Professor Erica. After all, Professor Erica is the leader of the Silent Enforcers. Of course, my father has to give her face. .
"After my father received Professor Erica's letter, he sent a letter to Longke and me."
Selina took out the letter she received from the magic pocket and slapped it on the table:
"Well, you can see for yourself. My father asked me to keep my distance from you as much as possible. You, Lenno Jarvis, will definitely not be able to compete with him, both inside and outside the words.
"The letter he wrote to Longke was even more straightforward. He asked Longke to pay you the remuneration you deserve normally, and then in the past six months, he will keep a close eye on your every move and never let you escape surveillance."
Li Nuo took the letter and read it, and asked at the same time:
"Is your father asking Longke to monitor me because he is afraid that I will run away?"
"That's for sure. Who knows if you could just roll up the money and walk away." Selina muttered dissatisfiedly.
Li Nuo rubbed his chin and finished reading the letter:
"I do plan to leave the Suman Islands for a while. When the time comes, you can help me cover it."
"You want to leave the Suman Islands?" Selena's breath froze:
"Where are you going? Are Dinas following?"
Li Nuo’s answer was not what he asked:
"I'll be back, don't worry."
He said:
"It may take a few days to determine exactly where we will go, how we will go, and how long we will take to get back. Dinas will also leave with me."
"You..." A hint of panic appeared on Selena's face, and her eyes trembled.
She was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Nuo.
"Don't worry about me leaving you behind, even though doing so is one of the best options for me."
Li Nuo shook his hand:
"I can indeed leave with the current gains. This is the strategy I adopted when I was in Gathering City, but I won't do that this time. Don't worry, my promise is still valid, and you are still from my secondary plane. The person in charge.”
Selena pursed her lips.
She lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, nodded, and said nothing.
Li Nuo thought for a while and said:
"If you can leave your daily routine behind, you can come with us."
Selina suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with hope:
"Really…"
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded vigorously.
The light in Selina's eyes flickered for a few times, and then went out due to rational thinking.
She sighed:
"Forget it, Jarvis. I'll stay. After you leave, no one will keep the underground secrets. You left Nicole and Noreen in my care, which is also a kind of trust. I shouldn't worry about you. She changed her appearance with Dinas and disappeared."
Li Nuo smiled happily and said:
"Thank you for your understanding, Selina. This is what I value most about you. One day, you will break free from the quagmire of the family. This day will come faster than imagined."
"Well, I believe you...believe you unconditionally."
The anger and complaint in Selina's heart completely disappeared, replaced by worries for the safety of Li Nuo and Dinas:
"Where are you going? Do you need me to prepare anything?"
Li Nuo used "Psychic Capture" to bring the tea cup, sat up straight and said:
"The plan is this..."
In the study, Li Nuo began to reveal his true plan to Selina.
He was not worried that Dinas' professor, the "Lamp of the Resurrection", would reject his proposal.
He was at least 80% sure that "Lamp" would help him.
This is an intuition and a vague feeling.
Li Nuo had a premonition that the "Lamp of the Resurrected" should be called the "Lamp of the Dead."
Because, doesn't the magic of rebirth come from the natural phenomenon of "going from death to life"?
Li Nuo is now in a "dead situation" that he deliberately arranged.
Dinas's professor is the "light" that provides him with direction and points the way.
The temptation of this "dead end" is absolutely irresistible to "Leng".
This is also an important part of Li Nuobu's plan.
