The Everlasting Tribulation Thunder Grit is located in the central and western part of the Cahir continent, where there are many mountains and mountains, making it a veritable mountainous and hilly area.
Such an area full of high mountains is called "Thousand Peaks Ridge" by Unas Ring.
The specific location of the Everlasting Catastrophe Thunder Cut is the westernmost part of Qianfengling.
Li Nuo did not teleport directly to the Everlasting Disaster.
He and Dinas appeared in a place called "Barren Stone Quarry".
This place is located a hundred kilometers east of the Everlasting Tribulation Thunder Grit. It is a treasure land rich in "barren rocks".
"Barren Stone" is a high-concentration magic stone rich in rock and soil magic. It is named because its color is like the earthy brown of the desert.
The person responsible for guiding Li Nuo and the two is Louisa Galvão, the Silent Witch of the Sixth Ring.
This silent witch wears dark gray magical metal armor and a half-metal mask covering the lower half of her face.
She had a bald head with long braids and sharp eyebrows, and she looked very heroic.
After receiving the letter from Li Nuo, Louisa used the flying spell to stay away from the quarry.
In a sparsely populated area, she cast a teleportation spell and used herself as a teleportation beacon to pick up Li Nuo and the others.
She heard Professor Erica mention the character of Lenno Jarvis, and knew that he was currently the only male who became a silent wizard.
She did not hide her gaze, and carefully looked at Li Nuo, who was hugged by the reincarnated witch. She nodded slightly and said:
"Nice to meet you, Jarvis. I've heard about his name for a long time, and now I finally meet him in person."
"Hello, Luisa. Thank you for helping me open the portal." Li Nuo patted the back of Dinas' hand:
"This is my companion witch, Dinas."
"Hello." Louisa and Dinas simply greeted each other.
Li Nuo took the opportunity to observe around.
He and others were located at the top of a high mountain, surrounded by a vast sea of clouds and mountain tops emerging from clouds and mists.
This is a strange place, Li Nuo has never been there before.
He sensed the "tracking mark" he left on Island 33.
very good.
All markers are functioning normally and there are no downtimes.
Li Nuo activated the "Tracking Marker" on the second underground floor and said peace to Nolin and Nicole who were waiting there.
There is no delay or sluggishness in this operation, it is as simple as drinking water.
Li Nuo felt certain in his heart, and looked away from the sea of clouds, looking at Louisa in front of him:
"How can I help? The professor asked me to take some of the pressure off of you, just as a thank you for opening the portal for us."
Louisa stared at the three white lines on Li Nuo's collar and hesitated:
"Well... the professor told me that on the surface, you only have a third-level strength, but in fact, your combat power is no less than a sixth-level combat wizard, and your investigation ability is very outstanding. Is that true?"
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded.
Louisa saw that Li Nuo was calm and composed, and decided to believe the professor's words.
She raised her hand and pointed in the direction:
"There is a waste rock quarry, rich in rock and soil magic stones and rock and soil crystal cores. Its caves are extremely complex, extending at least three thousand meters underground. The wizard force that controls the quarry is the "Crawling City", a special city deep underground A city-state wizard force that mines magic stones.
"About half a month ago, Creeping City discovered powerful underground monsters deep in the wasteland quarry. Creeping City issued a reward order and hired various wizards to investigate the underground situation and kill the underground monsters."
Louisa spread her hands:
"I thought this was a relatively easy job. But I didn't expect that all the wizards who accepted the bounty mission, including me, failed to see the true face of the monster. Every time it killed the mining wizard, it would immediately leave with the body. , and disappeared before we arrived at the scene. We tried laying out bait and waiting for the monster to take the bait, but it didn't work. The monster seemed to know it was a trap and never 'bited the hook'."
"It sounds like a spy hiding monsters in the mining team at the quarry..." Li Nuo said thoughtfully.
Louisa shrugged:
"I think so too, but Creeping City won't let us investigate the mining and guard teams in the quarry. If you are free, you can go there with me and have a look. After completing the bounty mission, I can give you three points One. This is my limit... After all, I invested a lot of magic materials in order to track down monsters."
Li Nuo asked thoughtfully:
"How much is the bounty?"
Louisa responded:
"Capturing a monster alive will reward you with 600,000 gold coins. Killing a monster and bringing back its body will reward you with 300,000 gold coins."
Li Nuo gave Dinasi a look.
Dinah has a connection.
She reached into her coin bag, took out a small package, and handed it to Li Nuo.
Li Nuo took the package and threw it to Luisa:
"Here, here are 200,000 gold coins. Thank you for opening the portal for us. Just think that I helped you capture a monster alive."
Louisa held the package, opened it and looked at it, a little dumbfounded:
"Uh...you...you..."
Li Nuo smiled:
"Time is money, Luisa. It seems that Professor Erica has only mentioned my combat strength and investigation ability to you, but not my money making ability. In my opinion, this kind of bounty mission full of variables is not It’s worth the time. If you ask me, you’d better take this gold coin and quickly change it to a bounty mission. There’s something fishy about that mining site itself.”
Louisa took a breath, hesitated for half a second, and put the coins away:
"You're right, it's time for me to reconsider this bounty mission."
Li Nuo snapped his fingers:
"I happen to have an errand here and need help. Are you interested? The price is easy to talk about."
Louisa's eyes lit up.
It seems that Li Nuohao's action of throwing 200,000 gold coins left a very deep impression on her.
When Li Nuo saw Luisa's expression, he knew something was going on.
Just as he was about to speak, the sound of the Snowwing cat sounded in his mind.
Someone sent a letter to Li Nuo.
"Wait a moment, Luisa. I need to read the letter."
"It's okay, please do it."
Li Nuo summoned Maomao, took the letter from him, and put it in Dinas' arms.
Dinas wears a black veil covering her face and a black lace witch hat on her head.
She hugged the cat and stroked its fur, like a lazy lady.
Li Nuo glanced at the contents of the letter and grinned:
"Haha, as soon as we left, Longke sent a letter asking me where I was in a subtle way."
Dinas took a closer look and curled her lips dissatisfied:
"He really asked someone to spy on us."
Li Nuo took out a pen and paper and wrote a reply full of nonsense literature on the spot.
He warmly thanked the other party for paying attention to him, politely asked about the other party's current situation, and used long and ambiguous words to avoid the other party's questions.
Enthusiastic, polite, and clueless when asked.
If you want to ask me where I am, I don’t know myself, so I can’t answer you, but I will respond to you warmly and politely.
That's what Li Nuo's reply meant.
Li Nuo did this for two purposes.
The first is to stimulate Longke again and see where this guy's bottom line is.
The second is to test the reaction ability of the Pomida family and see how long it will take for the other party and others to lock Li Nuo's specific location.
After the letter was sent by Snowwing Cat, Li Nuo said to Louisa:
"Let's talk while flying. Dinas and I are going to the Everlasting Thunder Grit. Do you need to go back to the quarry to pack your luggage?"
Louisa shook her head:
"No, no need. I can leave now."
"Okay then, please follow me." Li Nuo took out the compass and identified the direction.
The three of them cast flying spells and flew towards the direction of the Eternal Calamity Thunder Grit.
On the way, Li Nuo told him about his invitation to the Everlasting Thunder Chasm to guard the stronghold for Maeve Le.
He plans to hire Luisa to help him share some of the guard work.
For example, when he went deep into the Thunder Grit of Eternal Calamity, it was Louisa who protected Dinas and Maeve.
For another example, Louisa cooperated with Dinas to build a magic device for Mevle according to the magic device drawings given by Li Nuo.
Li Nuo was paid in days.
1,000 gold coins per day.
Build the magic device and get an additional reward of 50,000 gold coins.
Assist Mevle to deal with emergencies in the stronghold, and provide additional rewards of 10,000 to 100,000 gold coins depending on the severity of the situation.
The remuneration offered by Li Nuo can be described as generous, with more money and less work. It is far easier than tracking underground monsters.
Louisa agreed without much thought.
Li Nuo landed on a certain mountain, drew up a magic contract on the spot, signed it with Louisa, and then set off again.
This time it was Louisa's turn to introduce Li Nuo to Qianfengling's movements.
Qianfengling covers a vast area and can be divided into several extraordinary areas.
The eternal calamity thunder chasm corresponds to the lightning ghost.
The wasteland quarry corresponds to the wasteland snake and mole man.
The Stone Forest Swamp corresponds to the petrified electric lizard and the tree monster that smokes people.
The ringing ridge corresponds to the harpy.
These are national-level extraordinary phenomena formed on the ground by pollutants that fell from the extraterrestrial sky many years ago.
Every extraordinary phenomenon will produce magical materials, and they are also the research objects of the Wizards Advancement Association.
There are countless wizards who have been grabbing magic materials in Qianfengling for a long time.
The "Creeping City" Louisa mentioned before is one of them.
This kind of city-state wizard force is the characteristic of Cahir Continent.
It is both the name of a city and the name of a wizarding force whose organizational structure is based on profit distribution rather than blood relations.
In addition to the Creeping City, there are also forces such as "Blackstone City", "Fengthroat City", "Sixteen Gate City" and so on.
They are all frequent visitors to Qianfengling.
In a sense, if a wizarding force cannot afford the expenses of the sub-dimensional space, but at the same time wants to have its own territory, then the Magic Castle is undoubtedly the best choice.
Here in Qianfengling, the most powerful wizard force with the largest number of people is the Wealth Co-Creation Association, a business alliance from Balder's Gate.
This loose alliance, which was purely connected by gold coins, spent a lot of money to form a group of mercenary wizards, and the other party protected the assets under the name of the merchant alliance.
This group of hired wizards are called wealth wizards.
It's like a rock quarry.
The Merchant Alliance has one-fifth of its magic chips.
The fortune wizards of the Merchant Alliance have been stationed there for a long time, supervising the work of the mining wizards.
In the same way, other extraordinary areas such as the Eternal Calamity Thunder Grit also have the shadow of the Balder Merchant Alliance.
The wealth wizards of the Merchant Alliance will wear uniform clothing:
Dark red magic robe, black belt and hood, dark gold metal magic wand, soft black fabric magic boots.
On the front chest, the gilded "gold coin pile" emblem symbolizes their origin, and the number of gold coins on the emblem is linked to their wizard's ring level and status.
Li Nuo and the others flew hundreds of kilometers and finally saw the huge ravine with flashing lightning.
The sunken place that is shrouded by dark clouds all year round, and where lightning and thunder burst out for a long time, is the Thunder Grind of Eternal Calamity.
It looks like a basin filled with thunder and dark clouds, rather than a mountain chasm.
Several teams of wealth wizards from the Merchant Alliance flew patrols around the Everlasting Thunder Grit, spreading large-scale detection spells without hesitation.
Li Nuo and the other three were inevitably swept away by the detection spell.
A group of wealth wizards turned around and flew quickly towards Li Nuo.
In less than three minutes, these guys arrived nearby and used "Levitation Technique" to hover in the air.
"Wealth Co-Creation is searching for wizard criminals and explain your identity and origins."
The leading fortune wizard, with a face covered by a black hood and a dark red mask, blocked the path that Li Nuo and the others must pass.
Li Nuo changed from a black light belt into a human form, suspended in the air and asked:
"Wealth Co-Creation searches for wizard criminals? Do you have law enforcement authority?"
"Do not talk nonsense."
A gaze shot out from under the mask of the Fortune Wizard, scanning Li Nuo and the torch (Dinas) beside him up and down.
As for Louisa, who wore the mask of the Silent Enforcer, she was deliberately ignored by the Wizard of Fortune.
Li Nuo noticed the gazes of the other people and felt happy.
There are five wealth wizards in front of them, one five-ring combat wizard and four four-ring combat wizards.
Li Nuo threw the deconstruction technique at the leader who spoke in a bad tone.
【system information:】
[You consume 82,000 energy points to activate deconstruction on the target. 】
[Deconstruction successful! 】
[You have obtained the target’s panel information and memory fragments. 】
Li Nuo skipped the panel information and looked directly at the memory fragment.
[Memory fragment 1: "Search order issued by the Blue Gold Elder of the Wealth Co-Creation Association", completeness 100%]
The first memory fragment is what Li Nuo wants to see.
He swept aside the other results of the deconstruction and read the "Search Order" as quickly as possible.
interesting.
Li Nuo smiled secretly.
He was certain that he had nothing to do with the so-called "Blue Gold Elder".
But the other party emphasized Li Nuo's appearance and characteristics in the "Search Order".
You don’t need to think carefully to know that the purpose of Elder Lanjin of the Wealth Co-Creation Association in mobilizing so many wealth wizards is to find Li Nuo.
As for what Elder Lanjin wants to do after finding him, Li Nuo probably has an idea.
"The response speed of the Pomida family is faster than I thought."
Li Nuo thought to himself:
"It seems that at most two hours have passed since I teleported to the waste rock quarry. The Pomida family found out that my destination was the Everlasting Calamity Mine.
"Professor Erica didn't write to me, which shows that the information channel of the Pomida family has nothing to do with Professor Erica. They knew from other places that I would come to Yong Leiyan.
"Within 2 hours, first know my destination, then find Elder Lanjin, and entrust the Wealth Co-Creation Association to locate my specific whereabouts...
"Does the Pomida family have such ability? Why does it feel like it was the work of the Pure Light Tribunal..."
Before Li Nuo could think about it, five wealth wizards gathered around him, holding restraining collars specially designed to block the ability to cast spells.
The soul stasis gem on the imprisonment collar is only level 40.
It seems that the wealth wizards regard Li Nuo as an ordinary three-ring wizard and do not know the true strength behind Li Nuo.
Right.
The "Search Order" only mentioned Li Nuo's appearance, but did not elaborate on his strength and origins.
Louisa saw that the other five were behaving rudely, so she stepped in front of Li Nuo and Dinas, and used the magic of silence to condense the gray mist barrier to stop them.
"I am Louisa Galvão, the Silent Law Enforcer." Louisa said in a cold tone:
"According to Unas Ring Decree No. 2, non-law enforcement wizards who want to detain legal wizards in any form need to produce a formal "Instruction Letter". Where is your "Instruction Letter"?"
The leader of the Fortune Wizard was well prepared. He took out the "Book of Instructions" from his magic pocket, spread it out and displayed it with the "Wizard's Hand".
Louisa saw Li Nuo's name and image on the "Book of Instructions", but there was no description of him as a "silent law enforcer".
Thinking of what Li Nuo said to her on the road, Louisa suddenly understood that this was Li Nuo's enemy deliberately looking for trouble.
"You are being taken advantage of." Louisa pointed to Li Nuo and Li Nuo behind her:
"He is also a law enforcement wizard. Unless there is an arrest document from the law enforcement wizard force, you have no right to detain him."
"Law Enforcement Wizard..." The wealth wizards were all stunned, not expecting this to be the case.
For a moment, they didn't know whether to take back the restraining collars in their hands...
Li Nuo was wearing an ordinary death wizard magic robe. It was completely black with white lines only on the collar.
He did not wear the mask of the Silent Enforcer, and his true identity was not mentioned in the "Book of Instructions."
There is no doubt that the people behind Elder Lanjin just want to use the help of the fortune wizard to disgust Li Nuo and tell him that they know where he is, and they do not really want to detain him.
This is a warning.
It can also be seen as a threat.
Because the next time someone comes to the door, it is possible that it is not a hired person like the Fortune Wizard, but a law enforcement wizard with law enforcement authority.
Thinking of this, Li Nuo was certain that what was happening now was definitely related to the Jingguang Court.
It was hard for Li Nuo to recognize this familiar despicable smell.
He thought for a moment, took out his Silent Enforcer mask and "Silent Sword", and showed his identity.
The fortune wizards looked at each other and could only put away the confinement collar in embarrassment.
"I noticed that your "Instruction Book" comes from Elder Lanjin." Li Nuo said calmly:
"I think this elder may have misunderstood me. Where is he now? Can you take me to explain him in person?"
The leading wealth wizard is quite clear-headed.
After he learned that Li Nuo was also a law enforcement wizard, he realized that he might be involved in a big trouble.
He bowed slightly, restrained his previous arrogance, and said with respect:
"Sir, Elder Lanjin has been stationed at Yongjin Castle in the Everlasting Thunder Grit for a long time. He should be in the castle. I can take you to see him now... I'm sorry, there may be an error in the intelligence, and we have identified the wrong person."
"If the misunderstanding can be cleared up, I won't care about it."
Li Nuo and Dinas whispered a few words, and then told Louisa a few times, asking the other two to go to Thorn Peak Castle where Maeve Le was located first, while he went to see the blue-gold elder.
After Dinas and Louisa left, Li Nuo and the fortune wizards flew to the top of the mountain where Yongjin Castle was located.
There are a total of six main roads leading in and out of the Everlasting Tribulation Thunder Cut, each located on the top of the six hills.
The six mountain tops are evenly distributed around the Everlasting Catastrophe Thunder Cut, with the Thunder Cut as the center and 60 degrees apart from each other.
This phenomenon is as if it was designed and planned by man, and it is also one of the objects studied by the Wizards Advancement Society.
Yongjin Castle is located on the top of the mountain and is magnificently decorated with gold bricks and white tiles, like a luxurious palace.
From the magic ecological farm to the workshop for making lightning magic gems, we have it all.
After Li Nuo landed on the terrace of Yongjin Castle, he followed the Wizard of Fortune through the levels and through the spotless corridors.
When passing by the fountain garden, Li Nuo glanced specifically at the golden fountain base.
That thing was indeed made of pure gold, and even the mouth of the fountain was inlaid with shining gems.
The foundation of Wealth Co-Creation Association can be seen.
"They are so rich, these guys..."
Li Nuo glanced at the dog bowl in the corner of the garden.
hiss…
This thing is actually gold...
Li Nuo's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes swept along the dog basin to the kennel, and noticed a chubby golden long-haired dog.
Next to this well-nourished pet dog, squatting was a beautiful witch who was grooming it.
Her skin was pale and her figure was thin, as if she had not recovered from a long-term illness. The pale golden magic robe on her body highlighted the outline of her body like it was hanging on a clothes hanger.
This look is much worse than Li Nuo.
In order to pretend to be mentally traumatized, Li Nuo just made his face gray and white, with two thick black bags under his eyes.
The fortune wizard who led Li Nuo followed Li Nuo's gaze and took the initiative to introduce in a low voice:
"Elder Lanjin has eight wives in total. That is one of his wives, ranked fifth. We generally call her Ms. Ataya."
Li Nuo nodded silently, not interested in how many wives Elder Lanjin had.
The decree of the Ring of Unas does indeed state monogamy.
However, according to Unas Ring Decree No. 2, wizards can formulate their own marital system within the wizarding force. This is an "exceptional" situation allowed by the decree.
The Wealth Co-creation Association does not impose restrictions on this and allows polygamy, even polyandry, as long as doing so is conducive to "co-creation of wealth."
The so-called "creating wealth together" actually means paying money.
Taking your own money and putting it into the Wealth Co-creation Association is "co-creating wealth."
Who can be an elder depends on how much money they pay each year.
When money is needed, ordinary members of the Wealth Co-Creation Association go to the elders to apply, and the elders go to senior elders to apply.
Under the premise of ensuring that the applied principal will not be lost, how much profit can be brought to the joint creation of wealth has become the only criterion for the success of the application.
If the profit is low, or even the principal is lost, then you must use your own money to make up the difference, otherwise the member's level will be reduced.
When you reach the level of Elder Lanjin, you have to "create" several gold coins of wealth every year at least for the Wealth Creation Association in order to keep your position.
This is how Wealth Co-Creation works.
Li Nuo always feels like he has seen it somewhere...
But the question is, how can the president of the Wealth Co-Creation Association ensure his authority?
Isn't he afraid that the people below will attack him and compete for his wealth?
Isn't he worried that the elders and ordinary members will use the gold coins in the association for various reasons?
Li Nuo was very curious about this.
