The two wizards who appeared in Selina's study were menacing.
And one of them is not flesh and blood.
His body is made of gray-white rock, with light gray magic lines all over the surface.
Every rock imitates human bones, and the whole person looks like a stone skeleton.
This person comes from "Lalong Rock Bone" and is the law enforcement wizard in this wizard force.
Even if their own magic system does not have a "law-breaking" effect, large wizarding forces will specially cultivate some of their own law enforcement wizards.
The same goes for "Lalong Rock Bone".
Look again at the man who calls himself Dietrich Fagan Pangula.
His appearance is somewhat similar to Dikla Fagan, mainly the cheekbones and eyes.
As a witch who had an "unfortunate relationship" with Dicra Fagan, Selina would not mistake a member of the Pangola family.
Dietrich Fagan appeared in front of him, the sixth heir of the Pangola family, only one year younger than Dikla Fagan.
Selena met Dikla Fagan during her "relationship" with him.
There was a notification letter from the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department first, and Selina quickly calmed down and was not frightened by the two people with ill-intentioned intentions.
She calmly folded the letter in her hand and put it back into the envelope.
She raised her hand and used her "wizard's hand" to bring some chairs from the wall.
Two of them are placed opposite you, and the remaining one is placed next to you.
"You two, please sit down and wait for a moment." Selina said while controlling the magic pen to write a letter:
"According to Unas Ring Decree No. 2, when members of magic agencies in various places are questioned by law enforcers from outside the agency, they need to have law enforcers from their own agency present. You shouldn't mind if I call the law enforcers from the Deep Sea Branch. Bar?"
Selina wrote two letters to different recipients and handed them to the waiting magical conch.
The magic conch spit out a string of bubbles and escaped into the messenger plane.
"We certainly don't mind you doing this, Ms. Selina."
Dietrich Fagan raised the corners of his mouth with a smile:
"Even if the law enforcement wizards from the Deep Sea Branch are present, it can't change the fact that you stole the wisdom crystal of the Pangola family."
The rock-bone law enforcer beside Dietrich Fagan did not speak, but he, a member of the Pangola family, took the initiative to take over the topic, looking for trouble...
Selina took a look at the rock-bone law enforcer who revealed his ruthlessness in his silence, but could not see any emotions or expressions from his ugly gray-white stone face.
It seems that what Li Nuo speculated is absolutely true... Selina thought to herself.
It is indeed the Pangola family who is behind the scenes to instigate "Lalong Yangu".
The sixth heir of the Pangola family, didn't he come to the door with the rock-bone law enforcer who stood up for him?
Dietrich and Selena pulled out their chairs and sat down face to face with Selina, separated by a large desk.
While waiting for help, Selena thought a lot.
After Mira Farr became the local manager of the Pangola family, she only exploited non-metallic ore resources on four islands.
These four islands are all small islands, all in the eastern part of the Suman Islands, and they are all under Li Nuo's name.
Li Nuo once told Selina that he bought these four small islands from Xi'an.
And Xi'an took over these four small islands from Dikla Fagan.
Before Xi'an took over, Dikla Fagan had sent his family's mining team to mine all the metal ore resources on the island, and then threw them to Xi'an like garbage.
Dikla Fagan did this simply because he wanted to undermine Xi'an and make her fail in the family assessment.
Also thrown to Qian by Dicra Fagan were the ore resource exploration reports on the four islands.
These four exploration reports were handed over by Dikla Fagan...
And he only dug metal ore on the island...
Selina's expression remained unchanged, but her heart tightened slightly.
She probably knew what was going on.
The wizards under Dikla Fagan may have already detected the non-metallic ores on the island, but deliberately concealed this fact in the exploration report.
This is a conspiracy that kills two birds with one stone.
Xi'an was very poor at the time and had no money to hire a wizard to explore for ores.
She could only sell those four islands as islands that had been exhausted of resources.
Since the exploration report did not include reserves of non-metallic ores, and the metal ores have been mined, the prices of the four islands will continue to fall.
In the end, Xi'an's family failed the assessment, and the four islands would be bought by Dicra Fagan at an extremely low price.
After the island is back in his own hands, Dickla Feige will fill in the exploration report with the distribution of non-metallic ores.
In this way, he can not only push up the price of the island and earn the price difference, but also deal a heavy blow to Qian'an psychologically.
By extension, Dikla Fagan may have made such a layout for every island he explored.
He deliberately concealed the resource status of non-metallic ores in every exploration report.
If this is the case, something is wrong...
The Pangula family most likely has a ready-made distribution map of non-metallic ores, but it may take some time for Li Nuo to come up with the same distribution map.
Comparing the two together, anyone would think that the Pangola family was the first to discover non-metallic mineral deposits.
This is very detrimental to the direction of this inquiry.
Selena couldn't help but feel her heart sink slightly.
"Wow~~~"
Water splashes on the miniature ocean.
Selina raised her hand and shot a water column, activating the teleportation function of the miniature ocean.
The water splashed, and a tall figure emerged from the sea water. It was Selena's eldest brother Longke.
Wearing a dark blue magic robe, he walked steadily past the desk, came to the chair next to Selena and sat down.
Longke leaned on the back of the chair, crossed one of his thick legs, clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, tightened the lines on his face, and said in a low voice:
"I am Longke Pomida, one of the vice-presidents of the Deep Sea Branch and a law enforcement wizard. Do you question the source of the non-metallic ore distribution map of the Deep Sea Branch? Well, I allow you to question, but please take out your evidence."
Dietrich Fagan took off the magic pocket from his waist, placed it on the table and opened it.
Four scrolls appeared in front of everyone.
The seals of the scrolls were sealed with fire paint bearing the emblem of the Pangula family.
Binding the scroll are magic ribbons and magic locks.
On the outside of the scroll and at both ends, the date and place where the scroll was sealed are engraved.
"These are four exploration reports that were sealed three years ago. They are secret information within the Pangula family."
Dietrich Fagan picked up one of the scrolls and showed the date information of the sealed scroll to Ronk and Selina.
He unlocked the magic lock on the scroll, removed the magic ribbon, and laid it flat on the table.
The content in the scroll is composed of text, drawings and dynamic patterns, which records the distribution of ore resources on a small island.
Selina and Longke glanced at the contents of the scroll.
The distribution of metal ores mined by Dikla Fagan appears on the scroll.
The distribution status of non-metallic ores provided by Li Nuo also has exactly the same content on the scroll.
Not only that, the metal ore that was not mined by Dikla Fagan and did not appear in Li Nuo's exploration report also appeared on the scroll.
This is the most detailed exploration report for the island that Selina and Longke have ever seen.
"As you two can see, the Pangola family completed the exploration of this island three years ago. We recorded the island's ore resources on this scroll and sold it at an appropriate opportunity."
Dietrich paused for half a second:
"We originally planned to sell this exploration report at a good price, but we didn't expect that the Deep Sea Branch despicably stole the wisdom of our Pangula family."
Longke argued stiffly:
"You don't think that only the Pangula family has the ability to explore for ore resources, do you? The exploration report you produced can only prove that you have discovered those resources, but it cannot prove that others have not discovered them. Don't play around with concepts here. Trick.”
Dietrich sneered:
"Hoho, Mr. Longke. The Pangula family's accomplishments in the field of rocks and metals are obvious to all. However, you are right. The exploration report in my hand can only prove that the Pangula family discovered these resources. But I want Let me tell you, the act of exploring mineral resources will inevitably leave traces in the material world."
Dietrich paused for half a second and smiled sadly:
"I can confirm that before your Deep Sea Branch hired Mira Farr to mine ores for you, the Deep Sea Branch had not explored non-metallic ores on those four small islands. There have never been any traces left by the Deep Sea Branch's exploration of ores there. .
"Please tell me, Mr. Longke, how did you discover a non-metallic ore vein hidden 1,355 meters underground without ever exploring for non-metallic ores?"
Dietrich looked at the Rock Bone enforcer beside him and continued:
"Other than stealing other people's exploration reports, I really can't think of any way for a wizard force specializing in the deep sea to accurately discover mineral veins deep underground. Do you think I am right? Mr. Longke. "
Longke fell silent.
Selena said:
"Dietrich, your remarks can prove nothing but the incompetence of the Pangola family."
Selina's words made Dietrich freeze.
Selena said:
"Just because the Pangola family will leave traces in the material world when exploring for mineral veins, you take it for granted that all wizarding forces will leave traces when exploring for mineral veins. What a naive idea, Dietrich Hey. Do you think magic is just a hammer and a wrench?"
"What are you talking about?!" Dietrich gritted his teeth and stared at Selena:
"Are you provoking the Pangola family?!"
Selina crossed her arms and gave the other party a cold look:
"We have our own set of exploration methods that will not leave traces of exploration, and we don't need to explain anything to you, because this is the secret of the Deep Sea Branch. If you only have this little so-called evidence, dare to question the Deep Sea Branch , then we have to ask you to leave."
Longke followed Selena's thoughts and said:
"Yes, Selina is right. Her attitude is my attitude, and the attitude of the Deep Sea Branch and the Pomida family. The evidence you gave is absurd, childish, and purely self-deception. I hope to see To get more effective evidence, otherwise, please go back."
Dietrich supported the edge of the table with his arms, lowered his head slightly, and laughed inexplicably:
"Ho ho, more effective evidence."
He straightened up and looked at the rock-bone law enforcer next to him:
"Witnessed by the law enforcers of "Lalong Rock Bone", on behalf of the Pangula family, I launch a challenge to your deep-sea branch to compete in exploration capabilities. "
The Rock Bone Law Enforcer's face was expressionless, and there was no trace of any fluctuation on his gray-white rock face.
He nodded to Dietrich, Selina, and Ronk, and accepted the invitation to help Dietrich witness the challenge.
"The Pangola family holds a total of 1,322 islands in the Suman Islands, including large, medium and small islands of various sizes."
Dietrich tapped his finger on the table and said:
"I will randomly select 10 small islands, 5 medium-sized islands and 1 large island among these 1322 islands. Your deep sea branch must hand over the ore distribution map of these 16 islands within 16 days. I will get Come to the family’s internal exploration report to compare with your exploration results.
“If it turns out that the Deep Sea Branch is unable to explore the ore resources of these 16 islands within the specified time, or your exploration results are not as accurate as the Pangula family, then the Deep Sea Branch must immediately terminate its relationship with Mira Far. cooperate and expel Xian and Mira Far from the Suman Islands."
Dietrich smiled sinisterly:
"Since you can explore mineral veins without leaving any traces, you must have an exploration ability that is no less than that of Pangola and "Lalong Rock Bone", right? It shouldn’t be difficult to explore this number of islands in 16 days, right? Ronk, Selena. "
Longke pondered for a few seconds and asked:
"Then what punishment should you receive if you lose?"
Dietrich opened his arms:
"Of course I admire the exploration capabilities of your Deep Sea Branch. The Pangola family will no longer interfere with the affairs of Mira Farr and Xi'an."
Longke nodded slowly:
"Well, not bad, let's take..."
"No, we reject your challenge application." Selena interrupted her elder brother and said:
"Your challenge is meaningless to us, Dietrich. We chose Xi'an and Mira Farr as partners because they are better than you. The Fegen lineage has been eliminated, don't even think about using it. This clumsy provocation and conspiracy is used to regain the right to take charge of the Suman Islands."
Selina skillfully brought Cian and Mira Farr into the conversation, and used comparison to shift part of her conflict with Dietrich onto Cian and Mira Farr.
Longke was first interrupted by his sister, and then he heard such strong words, and his expression suddenly became a little stunned.
But he quickly restrained himself, kept his mouth shut, and gave the right to speak to his sister.
how to say…
He is a combat wizard who prefers to solve problems with fists and combat.
So when Dietrich raised the challenge just now, Longke agreed without much thought.
But after listening to Selena's words, Longke realized that this was not his area of expertise, and he should leave social matters to Selena.
Seeing that Longke was silent, Dietrich teased maliciously:
"When will the Pomida family's affairs be decided by women? Is Selina qualified to represent the attitude of the Deep Sea Branch and the Pomida family?"
"No need to provoke us, just save your time." Selena sneered:
"You want to pry into the secrets of our deep-sea branch based on just a few exploration reports and inexplicable challenges. You are not qualified."
Dietrich's lips twitched and his eyes were cold, suggesting that he was about to become angry from embarrassment.
Selina changed the topic and said to the Rock Bone Enforcer:
"Besides, why should the Pangola family have the final say on the rules of the challenge? Don't you think this approach is too rude?"
Dietrich was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Selena to suddenly throw a "step".
Although he was reluctant, he still considered his words and softened his tone slightly:
"So, Ms. Selena, what kind of challenge to the rules can you accept?"
Selina glanced at Dietrich, who had an expectant look in his eyes, and then at the rock-bone law enforcer, who didn't speak but stared at her closely.
She pondered for a moment and said with a smile:
"Let's talk about it later. You suddenly visited us as if you were asking for a crime, and you brought up the challenge. It all happened too fast. We need to spend at least some time to discuss it before we can give you a clear answer. "
Selina snapped her fingers, and the miniature ocean that the other two had teleported hung down from the ceiling and hovered next to them.
"Let's stop talking here today. We will contact both of your forces in a few days. Now, please go back."
Unknowingly, the leadership of this inquiry moved from Dietrich's side to Selina's hands.
The three people who were originally aggressive and wanted to come to question the crime, now had to accept Selina's proposal and go back to wait for the news.
After all, this is the territory of the Deep Sea Branch, Selina's study.
Until Selina herself is beaten as a witch criminal, she enjoys full rights of self-defense here.
If she didn't leave after seeing him off, he might be arrested as a criminal on the spot.
After Longke heard that Selina had given the eviction order, he raised his hand and patted the armrest of the chair, making a crisp sound.
He stood up, straightened his back, stretched out his big hand toward the miniature ocean, and said in a deep voice:
"Please, you two. We will seriously consider this challenge. It involves the reputation of the Deep Sea Branch and the Pangola family. No matter how cautious we are, we will not be wrong."
Longke's body and identity aura are quite oppressive.
Dietrich packed up the scrolls and pockets on the table without saying a word, and followed the Rock Bone Enforcer towards the miniature ocean.
Before leaving, he turned around, with a hint of sinisterness in his eyes, and said with a half-smile:
"The four islands you asked Mira Farr to mine belong to the same wizard, right? He seems to have an unusual relationship with Ms. Selina... Maybe I should invite him to sit in Pangola's territory .”
Longke's face changed slightly, but Selena remained calm.
Dietrich's eyes wandered around the two of them, and then he pointed at the miniature ocean in front of him.
"Wow..."
The miniature ocean squirmed a few times and swallowed the figures of Dietrich and the Rock Bone Enforcer.
After the two left, Longke touched his head and recalled Dietrich's last words in his mind:
"Selena, did I understand it wrong, or is that guy looking for death? He doesn't want to cause trouble for Jarvis, does he? What's the difference between this and committing suicide?"
Selina said coldly:
"What does this have to do with me? My father won't let me touch him anyway."
Facing his angry sister, Longke breathed out dullly:
"Huh ~ Selena, father, this is for your own good. Jarvis is indeed very capable now, but this does not mean that he will still have the advantage in the future as he does now."
"Yes, I know." Selena said in a sinister tone:
"After you crack his lightning spell and "sonic blast" to summon dark clouds, he will naturally be of no use. I shouldn't be with such a person, you and your father are right. I deserve to be entangled with him. "
Longke raised his hands to cover his face:
"...We won't talk about this. How are you going to reply to Dietrich and "Lalon Rockbone". Although they didn't say it explicitly, I could feel that the reason for Dietrich's challenge also had something to do with "Lalong Rock Bone". Maybe, "Lalong Rock Bone" is the mastermind behind the Pangola family. It wants to use challenging things to find out our details. "
"Oh~ I'm sorry for you, Longke. A person who almost agreed to the challenge on the spot can actually think of so much."
Selena laughed a few times:
"Let's wait a few days. I have to think about it carefully. And I also have to talk to Jarvis. If we accept the challenge, we will definitely need his ore distribution map."
"Okay." Longke took a deep breath and said:
"You talk to Jarvis, then I'll go find my father. It's not a good thing for "Lalong Rock Bone" to be targeting our non-metallic ores. We must prepare in advance. "
Selina looked at her unfinished letter.
She originally wanted to relay Li Nuo's speculation to her father in her own words.
Who would have thought that the Pangula family and "Lalong Yangu" would come to question him so quickly.
It's okay now. There's no need to send the letter. Let's let Longke communicate with his father.
Selina waved her hand, tore the letter into pieces with a sharp water jet, and concentrated on the matters at hand.
Seeing that his sister was unwilling to pay attention to him, Longke said hello and got into the miniature ocean.
After he left, Selina put down the pen in her hand and raised a smile on her lips.
She asked in her mind:
"Jarvis, are you still there?"
"Yes." Li Nuo's voice sounded in her mind:
"You did a great job just now, Selina. You perfectly relayed my words to Dietrich and the others. I estimate that even if we didn't have "telepathy" before, you would be able to handle the situation just now very well. situation. "
Selena was praised by Li Nuo, her cheeks were slightly red, and she couldn't help but be happy:
"Then what do we do now?"
"Don't worry." Li Nuo said calmly:
"Let's hold on to "Lalong Yangu" and the Pangola family first. When they get impatient, flaws will naturally be revealed. "
"Okay." Selina nodded, thought for half a second and asked:
"Hmm... Then do we want to make contact with the "Pillar of Earth Veins"? If we can sacrifice some ore production and bring "Leyline Pillar" into our camp, then we will be more calm when dealing with "Lalong Rock Bone" and the Pangola family. "
"I will not consider this matter for the time being." Li Nuo responded:
"You should pay more attention to your father's opinion. If he agrees to Dietrich's challenge, then it will be useless no matter how much we discuss."
Celine gently twitched her chin and frowned slightly:
"Yes, you're right. Well, my father will definitely have a hand in this."
