128. Win-win plan

On the north side of the Blade's Edge Mountains, near the outlet of a catacomb.

It was the dark hour before dawn.

The mountain wind is howling, as cold as a knife.

A man with a black hood covering his face, standing on the edge of a cliff thousands of meters high. With a face obscured by a silver mask, he looked out over the fission wilderness on the northern side of the mountain.

A flock of strange creatures like birds flew from the wilderness, flapping their hairless wings on their backs and flying in the dark pre-dawn night sky.

"Wow~Wow~"

The sound of flapping wings gradually approached, and the appearance of the "flying bird" became clear in the night. It was a bunch of emaciated distortions of the wings.

Merst, wearing a silver mask, glanced at the distortion of the wings with empty hands, and sighed softly:

"Huh... A bunch of guys who have not done enough to do more than have lost their bone-catching wands. ”

Merster beckoned to the coal-lit tunnel behind him:

"Cavado, check the recording equipment, record everything MI5 says, and hand it over to the Emperor as it is. I don't want to blame them for their mistakes. ”

"Yes, sir."

Cavado survived the Death Order's wizard Grinsau. Although he failed to stop the enemy, he managed to save his life and came back.

After more than half a month of recuperation, his injuries have basically healed, and at this moment, the soldiers under his command are full of energy when they check the recording equipment.

The military recording equipment of the empire is a large iron lump covering an area of more than ten square meters.

It has several large cylinders driven by belts and gears, cranks that require manual handling, a smooth and soft diaphragm, and several very delicate slender metal pins.

At least ten highly trained soldiers can drive the machine without making any mistakes and record the sound picked up by the radio speakers.

Cavado crossed his waist and exhorted in a loud voice:

"Cheer me up! Don't go wrong! We must record everything MI5 says word for word!

β€œβ€¦ And you, I let you hold guns just to fill in the faΓ§ade, not to let you deal with the enemy! I stress it again! MI5 sergeants are not human, and they are not monsters! They are warriors who sacrificed themselves for the Empire! Although they no longer have the appearance of humans, their loyalty still belongs to the Emperor! ”

Cavado screamed, his voice unconsciously lowered as the winged distortions approached.

The soldiers saw the monsters with fleshy wings on their backs.

Slippery gray skin, human-like torso and limbs, plus a face without any facial features. This scene was reflected in the eyes of the soldiers, setting off one exclamation after another, mixed with a slight fear.

"Quiet! Be quiet! Cavado let out a few yells, controlling the humming and whispering soldiers.

The soldiers swallowed, closed their mouths, and clenched their guns tightly.

Cavado looked at the flying humanoid monsters, exhaled sullenly, and muttered, "Damn, it's weirder than those undead..."

"Ahem."

Merst coughed lightly, raised his hand to stop the commotion behind him, and said to the flying MI5 members:

"Where's the bone-widding wand?"

In the team of winged distortors, a slightly stronger figure flew out.

It hovered two meters in front of Merst and held out its head in front of it.

The top of its head cracked like a petal, and out of it emerged a long, gray tongue with a human mouth at the end.

This strange scene caused a riot in the ranks of MI2. Kawado snorted a few times, which suppressed the noise of the scene.

The human mouth at the end of the long gray tongue spoke:

"We... Encountered... The attackers...

"It's a... It's going to be invisible... Flying Vehicles...

"It took away the wand...

"It's like... There is a... A wizard who uses wind magic...

"He swept away the wand with his magic... and the core of the rod.

Merst's body stiffened slightly, and he scolded in a low voice:

"Damn! You've encountered the magic car of the Elemental Judgment! The bone-catching wand and wand core must have fallen into the hands of the elemental judgment! ”

The human mouth on the long gray tongue continues:

"On the rocky wasteland... The heart of the artificial lair... It's already started.

"Three days at most... The alchemist of the Convergence City... They will come to explore the nest. Up to ten days... They'll attack... Lair. ”

"We... Need... More... Elixir of Life. ”

Despite his displeasure at MI5's missing Bone Wand, Merst still had to do what he had to do.

He waved back.

Cavado led a group of soldiers to the entrance of the cave with a few metal boxes.

Merst's right hand swept through the metal boxes, and the lids opened one by one, revealing the tiny glass tubes neatly stacked inside.

Each glass tube the size of a little finger corresponds to a life potion. The potion is protected by soft leather and container filling.

At all, there are at least tens of thousands of life potions in such a metal box with a volume of about 0.5 cubic meters.

The wings were distorted in pairs and descended to the mouth of the cave, startling the nearby soldiers. Under the soldier's gaze, they struggled to lift the metal box and staggered out of the burrow.

Merst looked at the way the winged distortors struggled to move the metal box, and shook his head slightly, as if he was a little helpless.

He pulls out a magic scroll and activates the spells in it.

A turquoise spell light floated out and landed on the metal crate.

Streams of updraft appeared out of thin air, lifting up the heavy boxes, and the wing-distorted ones were much more relaxed.

The soldiers, who were still watching the deformed form, were immediately attracted by the commander's movements and shining magic lines, and their eyes invariably appeared with shocked and yearning looks.

"Don't go wrong on the way back." Merst said in an indifferent tone:

"The next batch of life potions will arrive in a few days, and I will send someone to deliver a message to you."

The long gray tongue twisted, and the human mouth "looked" at the magic lines on the box and said:

"Magic... Magical...

"We... Right away... It's going to... Got it. ”

Merst stared at the human mouth on the gray tongue through the mask:

"I shouldn't have asked that, but I still want to know, which wizard in the Black City did you five end up working with? At the very least, you have to be a professor-level wizard to teach you how to use magic, right? ”

The mouth on the tongue "thinks" for a few seconds:

"A... Wizard criminals... Robust... Sorcerer. He professes... Samuelson. ”

Merst was visibly stunned for a moment, and his voice became muffled:

"Are you crazy? Working with a Mind Wizard Criminal? ”

The mouth on the tongue responds:

"It has to be done... Only the Mind Wizard... Can control... Heart of the Lair... Destroy the Convergence City. ”

After speaking, the gray tongue tucked into the head of the winged distortion.

This group of flying aberrants, while the night in the sky has not yet been pierced by the morning light, flies towards the rocky wasteland.

Merst took a deep breath and muttered:

"Another bunch of idiots who don't understand the horrors of wizards..."

He turned around and made a gesture to close the team.

After this, he left the tunnels on foot, leaving Cavado, who was carrying the recording equipment, and the rest of the soldiers.

As soon as the commander left, the soldiers began to discuss what they had just seen.

Although Cavado did not join the discussion, he stared at the back of the departing distorted wings, looking thoughtful.

…

…

Aggregate City, Downtown, Sector 7.

It's noon.

Li Nuo woke up from his sleep and said goodbye to the fatigue of yesterday's day and night.

The housekeeper in the hut was not there, and she must have gone to deliver a letter to Conte, but she had not returned.

Li Nuo made a lunch with his own hands.

After eating and drinking, he came to his study with a cup of black tea and sat down.

Pull up the personal panel and take a look, and the aggro value in the "Rebirth Mana Potential" column has increased a bit.

At dawn today, Li Nuo went to bed, and the hatred value of "Rebirth Magic Potential" was 12,000 points.

Now, that number has risen to 16,000 points.

It indicates that in a corner of this world, there are more guys who have been hurt by Li Nuo and have hatred for him.

"But how did I provoke this group of people who haven't even met in person?"

Li Nuo sat in his study and pondered.

He recalled what he had done in the past half a month.

Shortly after he joined Conte's team, he encountered armed scavengers from the Dog Gang and distortions in abandoned buildings in the wild.

On Dusting Day, he was hired by Ironthorn to defend against the gang members on the third basement level, helping Filia kill the crows of the Black Bone Order.

After Dusting Day, he was hired by the Elemental Judgment to snatch the bone-glint from the winged distortion. During this time, he also took out Samuelson's Illusionary Servants.

Taken together, the people he may have offended recently include:

Samuelson, a psychic wizard criminal with at least seven rings of strength;

the Black Bone Hermitage that lives deep in the Black City;

The heart of the lair that has just been born in the Wild Stone Wasteland and the aberrations there;

a death party to make a bone-wand;

and, the Twin Wing Aberrations that intend to transport the Bone Wand to the south. These aberrations have the status of MI5 sergeants and can be considered members of the Imperial MI5.

Li Nuo cracked his mouth and smirked awkwardly.

Now that I think about it, I have offended a lot of people.

He basically offended all kinds of negative forces on the ground, underground, inside and outside the Federation.

Is this what it costs to be a good person? Although he doesn't think he's a 100% pure good person, it's too exaggerated to offend a circle of bad forces all at once.

"That bone-grushing wand is a hot potato that involves Samuelson, the heart of the deformed lair, and MI5 at the same time. If I take it away, I will inevitably invite the enmity of all three parties at the same time... No wonder my hatred is off the charts. ”

Li Nuo touched his nose and finally cleared his thoughts.

He took a sip of the black tea, nodded slowly, and had a new plan in his heart.

"I'm going to keep my head down. It's been a little too active lately, and it's inevitable that the hatred will intensify. The hatred value on the "Rebirth Magic Potential" has risen again and again, which is the most intuitive manifestation. Get up first, save up resources, and when the limelight has passed, I will go out again. ”

"Jingle Bell~"

The sound of a doorbell came from downstairs.

Li Nuo called up the "surveillance camera" and glanced at the front entrance of the house.

Conte stood in front of the door with Mark, the former raising his hand to ring the doorbell, and the latter looking to the garden with a long and left look.

Li Nuo came to the first floor, opened the door, and invited the two to come in.

Conte calmly changed his shoes and walked into the living room. Mark, on the other hand, rubbed his hands together like a hairy boy, his eyes wandering around, and he was very curious about the furniture in this cottage.

"Be careful, Mark." Conte reminded in a whisper.

"Oh, yes, head." Mark shrunk his neck, smiled embarrassedly at Li Nuo, scratched his head and said:

"I didn't expect you to be a wizard. As soon as I think of myself now showing off my alchemy knowledge in front of you, I feel that there are ants crawling all over my body, and I am so embarrassed that I can't do it. ”

Li Nuo had a good impression of the straightforward and self-familiar Mark, smiled, and invited the two to sit down.

"Got the letter I had you bring you, Conte?" Li Nuo asked with hot tea.

"Yes. In fact, before I received your letter, the president had someone to talk to me. It is said that it is an emergency notice from the Cat Society, and that there is a strange deformed nest in the Wild Stone Wasteland, or the kind that has given birth to the heart of the nest. ”

Kante rubbed his bearded chin and said:

"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this news was sent by the Cat Society in a formal official document, I would have found it hard to believe that there was a den of aberrant beings on a scale far greater than we imagined beneath the abandoned buildings we stayed on the edge of the rocky wasteland... By the way, Li Lei, do you have any other forces to do now? ”

"No, it's all over for me." Li Nuo knew that Kante must have something to find him, so he came to the door, and then added:

"I'm not going to leave Downtown lately. Is there something you are here for? ”

"That's right." Kante clapped his hands and pressed his elbow against Mark beside him:

"The security team of the Iron Thorn Shield was basically transferred by the Golden Chamber of Commerce, and only Mark stayed in the city with a security team. If you can, I'd like to ask you to take care of Mark during my absence. ”

"Well, no problem." Li Nuo nodded and asked:

"One more question, Conte. Why don't you find the Sword of the Gold Merchant to help with the daily security work of the Iron Thorn Shield? Aren't they all working for the Gold Chamber of Commerce just like you? ”

"You don't know that." Conte paused and said:

"Full-time combatants like the Sword of the Golden Merchant are all alchemists of the third order and above. According to the rules set by the Alchemy Sanctuary, they could only operate in the Upper City and the Rift Corridor. They can't interfere in the security of the lower city.

"This is done to avoid the day-to-day conflicts in the various sectors of the lower city, from petty fights between security companies and gang members, to fierce clashes between full-time combatants of various alchemy forces. If that were the case, the ordinary people of the lower city would surely be affected by the fighting. Therefore, if Mark is in trouble with his daily affairs, he must not ask the Merchant's Sword for help, unless his trouble comes from the Rift Corridor. ”

"I see."

The three of them chatted, and the housekeeper came back with a large pile of ingredients.

When she learned that Li Nuo had already eaten lunch by herself, the housekeeper rushed to make a few refreshments to entertain the guests.

About half an hour later, Conte left the cabin with an excited Mark.

As soon as Mark went out, he asked Conte about his possibility of becoming a wizard, which was exchanged for a joke from Canter.

The detached cottage quieted down, and Li Nuo began to practice Soul Casting in his bedroom on the second floor.

"In the next few days, I'll enrich myself with alchemy experiments and exercises, and no one wants me to go out and cause trouble...

"I wonder if the hatred value on the Rebirth Magic Potential will drop after I become low-key..."

…

…

Cat Club Manor, the tutor's study.

The lady sat in a chair behind her desk, her eyes closed, her eyelids trembling slightly, as if she were wandering in a dream.

"Huh..."

After a soft sigh, the lady awoke from her dream, looking a little distressed.

Filia just pushed the door in and saw the look on her mentor's face.

"Teacher, how did the Night Spirituality, the Tomb King, and the Hottamus Academy of Magic reply to you?"

Filia spoke with a weak breath, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness. As the mentor's right-hand man, she had to get back to work as soon as she got out of her coma.

It wasn't her mentor's insistence, but it was just because the matter was too urgent.

The wandering wizard of the Night Spirituality, Fgudia, and the two Eidolon wizards who teleported over. Nehekat of the Tomb Kings and Sharp of Hotams.

These nine wizards have completely lost contact with their main professor, and their fate is unknown.

As a participant in the whole incident, Filia witnessed the whole process, and was a member of the Elemental Trial, and it was necessary to provide intelligence support when the mentor was questioned by all parties.

That's why she dragged her weak body to the study.

"Filia, sit down. You'll have to rest for a while before you're fully recovered. ”

The mentor summoned the wind belt and helped Filia to her seat:

"The Night Devotional Tripartite wants me to go to the heart of the lair to check on the situation in person, or to mobilize the magic puppets. It's impossible, Filia. It violates our agreement with the Alchemy Sanctuary. But it's not impossible. I'll go and talk to the Gold Chamber of Commerce and ask their Gold Merchant's Sword to search carefully for the whereabouts of the nine wizards while they clear the lair. ”

"Do you need me to cooperate with the Sword of the Golden Merchant?" Filia asked.

"No, Filia, don't go anywhere, just recuperate in the manor." The lady shook her head decisively and rejected Filia's proposal:

"If the heart of the lair that appears in the Wild Stone Wasteland is only related to the bone-receiving wand, then I will allow you to search for the missing wizard. But there was still a trace of Samuelson there, so I wouldn't have mobilized my own wizard cadets to search for him anyway. ”

"Why is that, teacher?" Filia coughed weakly a few times, lowered her head and said with self-reproach:

"If only I had the strength of the three rings... In this way, I can tell the professor about Samuelson's traces in the dream..."

"Don't blame yourself, Filia. This matter is far from being solved by you reporting Samuelson's whereabouts in time. The heart of the lair that appears in the Wild Stone Wasteland also involves magical enlightenment. ”

The noblewoman's words confused Filia.

"Magical Enlightenment?" Filia blinked and asked:

"Are you referring to the 'Magical Initiation' mentioned in every wizard student's first class? How could the heart of a deformed lair involve magical enlightenment? ”

"Yes, Filia, you heard it right, this whole incident has to do with magical enlightenment. To figure this out, there are a few questions that need to be clarified first. ”

The lady asked:

"Do you remember in what capacity Samuelson became a wizard?"

"Warcraft Lord of the Night Raven." Filia replied.

"So, Samuelson isn't human, is he?" The lady asked again.

"Yes, teacher."

"So do you think the aberrations can master the power of magic and become wizards?"

Filia was shocked, "How is this possible, they even..."

Filia suddenly paused her words, her brows furrowed:

"No, no, I was wrong... Non-human creatures like the Warcraft Lord can become wizards, so theoretically speaking, aberrants who are also non-human beings can also become wizards. ”

"Well, that's right. You see, you've got the problem. The Tomb King became a leading figure in the world of bone magic as a skeleton, and the Night Mother of the Night Spirit was originally a demonized vampire bat. Not to mention the many other wizarding forces. ”

lady says:

"I don't know if you've found a thing.

"In the entire wizarding world, although we human wizards occupy an absolute advantage in numbers and strength, if we only count the proportion of human wizard forces in the wizarding forces, only 10% of the wizarding forces are completely composed of human wizards, and there are more or less non-human wizards in the rest of the wizarding forces."

The noble lady said earnestly:

"This is the result of a long period of development in the wizarding world, Filia. Humans are the first race to embark on the path of wizards. Throughout history, human wizards have helped other races complete their magical enlightenment, which has led to the birth of a colorful wizarding world.

"Now, at this moment of our conversation, the heart of the lair that appeared in the Wild Stone Wasteland is undergoing magical initiation with Samuelson's help. The news came from Floria and their professor. It was the last message that Fugudia and the others conveyed to the professor before they lost contact. I'm confused if a nest heart, which doesn't seem to have a mind, can successfully complete magical enlightenment. I think there's probably something in this that we don't know. But all we can do now is wait. ”

"But, teacher, Samuelson is a wizard criminal. If it succeeds, it will surely trigger an incredible disaster. The enemy we have to face is no longer a clumsy deviant, but a group of aberrant wizards! ”

Filia said that she was excited, and coughed lightly:

β€œβ€¦ Ahem... Are we just going to let Samuelson help the Hive Heart with magical enlightenment? ”

The lady nodded slowly:

"Yes, Filia, we are spectators, recorders. Do you remember the research goals that Wizard Advance would give us? ”

Filia was stunned for two seconds, then said with a dull bow:

I remember. Wizard Advance will ask us to develop "distortion magic"... So, you mean..."

The lady gazed at Filia:

"Just like what you think in your heart right now.

"Distortion must be studied using distortion. However, for a long time, we have been restricted by the Alchemy Sanctuary from conducting magical experiments involving humanoids, so progress in research on "aberration magic" has been slow.

"Right now, Samuelson is doing the magic experiments we've always wanted to do.

"If it succeeds, then according to the rules set by the Wizard Forward Association, the results of its experiments belong to the only first-level magic research institution in the entire territory of the Golden Federation, that is, us.

"If it fails, we don't have to take any responsibility. As a wizard criminal, Samuelson will bear all the consequences. ”

Filia was speechless when she heard the teacher's words.

Filia looked down in contemplation, and didn't ask until half a minute later:

"Teacher, if this magic experiment causes a serious disaster, should we also stand idly by?"

"By 'disaster', do you mean damage to people?" The lady asked.

"Yes, teacher."

"Don't worry about this, the Alchemy Sanctuary will take care of it."

The lady said before Filia could ask another question:

"Are you trying to say that we are too indifferent to disasters? Do you think we should do something to reduce some casualties? ”

Filia nodded silently.

The lady said gently:

"Filia, you are a kind child.

If a person takes doing good deeds as his starting point and does good deeds in the right way, he does indeed "have the potential" to become a good person in the eyes of others.

"But you have to know that evil people do evil things in the name of good.

"People can't see everything a person has done. People's perception of a certain person is fragmented, and they can only see what a certain person has done at a certain stage.

"With this fragmented information alone, no one can confirm whether the person who helps them is a kind person like you or a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Most of the disputes in the world are born because of the inability to recognize the whole picture of people and events."

"Yes, teacher..."

lady says:

"So when it comes to important things, the starting point of our thinking cannot be the simple idea of 'good and evil', which has no absolute measure, but rules.

"As a first-class magical research institution, the contract we signed with the Alchemy Sanctuary does not include assisting the Alchemy Sanctuary in dealing with the heart of the nest. In fact, the Alchemy Sanctuary has not allowed us to intervene in matters related to the closure of the distortion rift. That's why we can only sit on the sidelines.

"If we had set up a research institute here, but a judgment institution, then I promise you, I would ask for the help of the Battle Wizard right now to sweep the Hive Heart and Samuelson clean."

"Teacher, I see... It's me who made things simple," Filia said apologetically.

"Let's go and rest, Filia. Wait until the day after tomorrow to recuperate enough, and then invite Li Lei to discuss the remuneration. ”

"Okay, teacher, I'll go first."

After Filia left, there was silence in the study.

The lady leaned back in her chair and sank into a dream.

…

…

"Can I talk to you now?"

Li Nuo was practicing the movements of "Soul Casting Technique" in the bedroom, and Dinas's voice suddenly sounded in his heart.

He was stunned for half a second before realizing that he was not hallucinating.

After he signed a soul contract with Dinas, a faint soul sense was born.

As a result, he also acquired the skill "Soul Sense: Dinas".

Li Nuo brings up the list of skills, selects the skill, and activates it:

"Yes, Dinas. Wait for me for a moment. ”

"Hmm."

Leno went to the bathroom to clean up, and then summoned Dinas to the dark bedroom with the curtains closed.

As soon as Dinas appeared in the room, Dinas had the waves and quiet, asked:

"Samuelson is doing magic enlightenment to the heart of the lair, you should know about it, right? My professor just told me about this. ”

"Sit down, Dinas."

Leno and Dinas sat down facing each other, with a desk in between.

He was silent for a few seconds before he said:

"Considering that we will be together for a long time in the future, I think there is something that I need to explain to you."

Now that he has signed a sustainable soul contract, Li Nuo is naturally not afraid of the nurse who has just arrived to "jump out of the car". So he plans to confess some things so that the other party can be mentally prepared.

"What's the matter?" Dinas tilted her head slightly, blinking her eyes and staring at the strangely deep Linuo.

"I'm not a student of the Sleeping Tablet. I'm a wild wizard. ”

Dinas's breath froze, and the agitated arc remained full.

A dull look appeared in her eyes, and after two seconds it turned to anxiety and thought:

"You mean, you're using the name of the Sleeping Tablet? … Who else knows about this? We may still have a chance to remedy. ”

Dinas looked at Li Nuo with tears in her eyes, as if she was in a hurry to cry.

Li Nuo saw the change in her expression.

Dinas's first reaction was not the anger that came from being deceived, nor did it breed resentment.

There was not much blame in her words, more of a desire to discuss a solution together.

Li Nuo has completely figured out Dinas's personality now.

Virtuous, tolerant, weak, simple, enduring, and easily bullied.

Once such a woman identifies someone, she will indeed put herself in the other person's shoes.

But don't do too much to make her sad because of her tolerance.

Because once such a woman is heartbroken, ten cows will not be able to pull it back.

Even if she has to respond to the call because of the soul contract, she will behave like a fellow traveler when she is heartbroken.

Li Nuo thought for a moment and said:

"No one but you knows that I am impersonating a student of the Sleeping Tablet Master. Everyone who knows me is convinced of who I am, including the local members of the Elemental Trial, and you two minutes ago. ”

"That's good..."Dinas breathed a sigh of relief and blinked aggrievedly:

"Why did you tell me now..."

"Because only when the soul contract is signed, will there be an initial trust between us." Li Nuo spread his hands and said:

"I've always believed that the best way to protect yourself is not to make yourself an invincible, all-powerful being, but to be someone who can pull out of trouble at any time. When you join a wizarding faction, you have to face a hostile wizarding faction. To join an extraordinary organization, you have to be mentally prepared to face a hostile organization. I don't like this kind of life. I crave more options than being forced to choose one or the other. That's why I'm pretending to be a student of a particular professor, rather than joining a wizarding faction. ”

"But after you sign the soul contract with me, you will have to face the challenge of other reborn witches? Don't you regret it? Dinas asked.

Li Nuo said in a serious tone:

"No regrets, your abilities deserve these responsibilities on my shoulder."

Dinas's gaze flickered a few times, and the grievance in her eyes dissipated, replaced by the joy of being recognized.

"You're mysterious..."

"Well, if it weren't mysterious, you wouldn't have so much rebirth magic potential." Li Nuo smiled self-deprecatingly.

A sad look appeared on Dinas's face:

"If you're a wild wizard, what about meditation? My "Rebirth Meditation Method" is only for witches. Why don't I take a trip to the Unas Ring and buy you a copy of the meditation methods that have been passed down from the Academy? I still have some savings, so I should have enough money to buy a copy... Or can we get out of here and find you another wizarding force to be a student of a professor? ”

Li Nuo said sincerely:

"Thank you, Dinas. You're one of the few people who've thought about me since I traveled to Point Gold Island... I'd like to ask, if you're there, do I need to disguise myself as a student of a professor when we go to other areas in the future? Can I use you to obtain local legal status? ”

"Yes, you can." Dinas tapped her chin, and her delicate face was full of seriousness:

"The battle between the reborn witches is well known to the higher echelons of the magical institutions in every region. In this battle for the magic of rebirth, protecting the contractors of the reborn witches is a top priority.

"Some reborn witches will seek refuge in the hands of powerful professors.

"The other part of the contractor will deliberately hide their true identity and not reveal to anyone who their main professor is. In this way, the other reborn witches could not be sure if there was a powerful professor behind the contractor, and they did not dare to do anything to him lightly.

"As long as I'm here, you can never reveal your true identity... But "

Dinas's voice lowered:

"However, I would suggest that you find a professor to teach. My knowledge of magic alone isn't enough to get you out of the way... Of course, I know I shouldn't interfere with your decision, so it's up to you. ”

"I promise you, Dinas. If one day I feel struggling, I will take the initiative to become a student of one of the main professors, and I will consult with you beforehand. Until then, I'll be very cautious in my quest for magic and won't let you worry. Trust me, okay? ”

"Uh-huh." Dinas blushed slightly, buried her head and nodded.

"Okay, that's the end of the conversation. Can you tell me about Samuelson? What does it mean that he does magic initiation on deviants? Leno asked.

Dinas rubbed her slightly hot cheeks.

After sorting out the information in her mind, she began to relay the professor's words.

"Magical initiation is the process of helping ordinary creatures embark on the path of wizarding, which usually involves the steps of self-awareness, opening up the spiritual ocean, and so on. Among them, opening up the spiritual ocean is the most difficult step. With the existence of the spiritual ocean, living beings will have the ability to cast spells."

Li Nuo calmed down and listened to the other party's words.

After 10 minutes, Li Nuo nodded slowly and said:

To sum up:

"Elemental Inquisition's research mission here is to develop 'aberration magic'. However, due to the fact that the Alchemy Sanctuary does not allow magical experiments involving humanoids, the research progress of "aberration magic" is very slow.

"Whatever Samuelson's reason for starting to help the deviants with magical enlightenment, he can advance research into "distortion magic".

"For this reason, until it does the 'aberration magic', the Wizarding Advance Society, the Wizard Enforcer, and the Witch Council are not prepared to arrest Samuelson immediately, is that what it means?"

"That's right, Lee. Uh, what should I call you? Li Lei shouldn't be your real name, right? ”

"You call me Lee."

"Mm-hmm, Lee, you summed it up right. My professor said that Samuelson should have received the guidance of a superior person in order to find a perfect balance between the various forces and gain precious time to survive. ”

Li Nuo frowned and thought about it and said:

"Mentoring... Could it be that the emperor of Tatis gave Samuelson advice? This guy likes cats playing Infernal Affairs in the palace the most..."

"What?" Dinas Briling blinked, innocently she didn't quite understand what Leno was talking about.

Leno bent his arms between the tabletops, his hands folded under his chin.

He stared at Dinas in thought. Dinas looked at him in confusion.

Li Nuo was thinking about one thing.

On the soul contract signed yesterday, there is a very important contract clause. Its content is related to secrecy.

In a nutshell:

From the moment the contract was made, Leno and Dinas could not say anything related to each other's secrets without the permission of the other party.

For example, Leno now speaks outside the house and shouts, "Dinas is my companion witch." He would not be able to make any sound, and he would never be able to utter half a word. Because he didn't get Dinas's approval.

Similarly, without Li Nuo's consent, Dinas had no way to divulge the secrets related to Li Nuo. Even in the "online course" of the main professor, Dinas couldn't leak secrets.

For the most part, Dinas would be a great candidate for a joint conspiracy.

Li Nuo said slowly:

"What I'm going to discuss with you next, you must not mention it to a third person. I urgently need to discuss this with someone right now, and you're my only option. ”

"Hmmm! I swear. Dinas nodded vigorously.

李诺 says:

"To tell you the truth, before I arrived in Convergence City, I lived in the Tatis Empire for a while, and I basically figured out the structure of the local military intelligence department. Among them is an organization called MI5, which specializes in the study of aberrations. A day earlier, I had seen MI5 near the rift in the aberration of the Wild Stone Wasteland. ”

Li Nuo paused, and spat out words that made Dinas's posture tremble:

"The winged aberrations that carry the bone-wand towards the Blade Mountains are the ones of MI5 sergeants. I'm sure. ”

β€œοΌοΌβ€ Dinas widened her eyes, took a deep breath, lifted her shoulders, and the full moon rose:

"You mean, MI5 of the Tatis Empire has teamed up with Samuelson?"

"Most likely." Li Nuo spread his hands and said:

"The Tatis Empire's biochemical mutation technology is excellent, and it is not subject to the Alchemy Sanctuary. Their results in studying aberrations are certainly greater than the constrained elemental trials.

"Samuelson is a mind wizard with the strength of the Seven Rings. As long as it finds a way to resist the backlash of the psychic spell and control the heart of the hive, it can control the entire army of deviants.

"The Tatis Empire's birth mutation technology, Samuelson has a psychic magic to control the aberration. Tatis harvests the aberrant army, and Samuelson evades the pursuit of wizarding enforcers. Both sides take what they need to achieve a win-win situation, which is the basis of their cooperation. ”

Li Nuo met Dinas's gaze and said:

"For the foreseeable future, the fission wilderness is bound to fall into turmoil. Great turmoil, great opportunity. I want to accumulate a lot of wealth and soul crumbs in this great upheaval. When the time comes, I'll take you away and leave the game in time to keep the results. According to the unwritten rules, let's distribute the spoils according to five or five for the time being, what do you think? ”

Li Nuo had a vague feeling.

This great upheaval, caused by the Tatis Empire and Samuelson, will last for a long time.

But the window that will allow him to quickly and safely grab wealth and soul crumbs may be extremely short, perhaps only a week or two.

If you miss this opportunity, you don't know how long you will have to wait for the same opportunity.

Suffering from the lack of a lot of common sense in the wizarding world, and the information of the heart of the aberration's lair, Li Nuo has not been able to sort out an efficient and feasible plan.

Now, the only way to get the common sense and information he desperately needs is through Dinas.

That's why he invited them to join.

The five-to-five loot distribution rule should satisfy Dinas, right?

If you are not satisfied, you can talk about it again.

The focus of Lenovo's negotiations with the other party is on the distribution of loot, but Dinas is obviously not focused on this...

"You just said you'd take me away, right? Where do we go? Dinas narrowed her eyes slightly, and the lines of her face softened, as if she had entered a state of imagining the next stop in her life.

Li Nuo thought about it and said:

"Wherever there are few reborn witches, we will go. On top of that, the more developed the economy, the better, so that the wealth we earn here in the Aggregation City can be easily exchanged for coins. In addition to these conditions, it is desirable to have a relatively stable and tranquil social environment, suitable for long-term residence. Oh yes, it's important not to exclusive wizards. The Golden Federation is already good for wizards, but I think it's better so that we don't have to fake our identities. ”

Dinas twisted her jaw, carefully searching her mind for what she knew about the world.

She snapped her fingers and said with a smile:

"With ~ we go to the Suman Islands. If you have enough money, you can buy an island. ”

Buying an island? … Li Nuo came interested.

Before he crossed over, he had fantasized about buying an island and living a life of seclusionβ€”the kind with internet, electricity, and computers.

At that time, due to the meager salary, this dream never had a chance to be realized.

Now when he heard that he could buy the island, he suddenly had motivation.

Seeing Li Nuo's eyes shining, Dinas smiled and introduced:

"The Suman Islands are deep in the seas southeast of the continent of Cahill, on the ocean between the continent of Cahill and the continent of Cyclone. It is a wizard stronghold that monitors the Spin Continent, and a very important ocean trade staging point, with a very low tax rate for ocean magic items. This is in line with your financial requirements.

"The security of the area is the direct responsibility of the Deep Sea Wizard Branch of Hottams. The social order in the inner circle of the archipelago is relatively stable, and wizards come and go freely. Crucially, all violent clashes are strictly prohibited within the inner circle of the archipelago. There are no reborn witches there, at least not yet. ”

"Hmm~ yes, let's go there." Li Nuo nodded with satisfaction.

He coughed lightly, and said with a straight countenance:

"Alright, Dinas. Let's talk about a plan to make a fortune in the midst of great turmoil. Tell me everything you know, starting with the wing aberration. ”

"Good~"

Conversations rang out in the room.
