161. "Attainment of the Holy Throne"
"Knock Knock"
Maeve was checking the suitcases one by one when there was a knock on the door to the study.
She glanced in the direction of the door, thought for half a second, and waved her arm.
The suitcase on the table and the list of alchemical weapons flew into the secret room connected to the study.
Li Nuo nodded secretly, feeling that Maevele was thoughtful.
If people outside the house were to see so many suitcases on the table, it would surely attract curious peeps. By putting the suitcase and checklist into the secret room, Meevle was removing the distraction from her deal with Li Nuo.
"Come in, Betty."
Maeve said towards the door.
Betty, with curly orange hair, pushed open the door. Her little face was as clever and playful as ever.
As soon as she entered the room, she looked at Li Nuo, who was sitting opposite the teacher, in amazement.
Her eyes blinked a few times, as if asking why Leno was here.
Maeve asked:
"What's the matter, Betty, what's the matter?"
"Ah, yes, I've got something for you." Betty looked at Maeve behind the desk, frowned slightly, and said:
"Teacher, didn't you tell me to give Nehekat a gratuity, I went, but I didn't see him. I inquired with his butler, and the moment the Pollution Realm appeared, he entered the Rift Corridor. It's weird. After the contamination field was closed, he did not return. I also went to the Bionic Skeleton Society, which works with Nehekate, and the people there also said they hadn't seen him. ”
Betty scratched her brain:
"Teacher, do you say, did Nehekat also die in the polluted field?"
Li Nuo's heart moved slightly.
He suddenly remembered something.
The last time he saw Nehecut, the guy was being chased by the fake Floria.
After this, he has not seen Nehekat in the end.
Li Nuo called up the memory fragments that had been passively deconstructed and looked at them.
Due to the system's harmless treatment of the memory fragments of the "False Fquoia", Li Nuo could only see the fragmented chase process.
Judging from these memories alone, the false Phoquoia ended up losing Nehecut. Instead, under the orders of the Heir of the Blood Sun God Seal, it went to intercept Maevle near the Black City.
That's weird.
Since Nehekat did not die at the hands of the false Phoudea, where did he go?
Not only did Li Nuo not know the answer, but the other two people in the study did not know either.
Maeve pondered, shook her head, and said:
"Nehekat should be fine. Otherwise, the Tomb King would have come to the door long ago. Forget it, leave him alone. Give me the honorarium, and he will come to the door and receive it himself. ”
"Okay, teacher." Betty took out the metal box and put it on the table, looked at Li Nuo curiously, and then left.
Leno maintained a faint smile throughout, and Betty naturally didn't see anything in him.
When Betty walked out of the study, the room was quiet.
"Li Lei, come with me to the secret room. It is indeed a little inconvenient to speak here. ”
Maefrau stood up and led Li Nuo into the secret room.
The magical servant in the study stood in the center of the study holding a sign. The sign was facing the door of the study, and it read, "I'm experimenting with magic, I'll talk about it later." ”
In this way, the wizard students who came to visit would be branched out.
The secret room connected to the study has no windows.
Its walls are home to several magical lamps that emit a gentle glow.
The room is less than 30 square meters and has an extremely soft crimson carpet.
There is no more furniture than comfortable seating and a reception table.
It took Maeve about half an hour to inspect the alchemy armaments in the eight suitcases.
During the inspection, the magic pen by her side recorded the degree of damage and value of each alchemical weapon.
In the end, a detailed price list was handed over to Li Nuo.
1,227 pieces of broken alchemy weapons were eventually sold for about 25,000 gold coins.
25,000!
The cost of the island project was about one-sixth of the money at once!
When Li Nuo used his soul sense to tell Dinas the news, the other party's surprise cry almost made Li Nuo break his work in front of Maeve.
Fortunately, Li Nuo's psychological quality has always been very high.
He maintained his unfathomable image as a mysterious wizard in front of Meevle.
Both sides of the transaction, one hand to pay the money, the other hand to deliver.
Maeve temporarily left the vault and withdrew a large denomination of Unas gold coins from the underground treasure vault.
Two unas coins in the denomination of 10,000, plus five unas coins in the denomination of 1,000, and a number of change in the denominations of 100 gold coins, 10 gold coins, and 1 gold coin, were the money for the sale of the alchemy armament by Li Nuo.
After repeatedly telling Dinas not to show a smile on her face, Li Nuo asked the other party to teleport over and take away the gold coins given by Mayfle.
Putting the money with Dinas, Li Nuo was relieved.
Dinas felt Lino's trust in her, and excitedly assured herself in the soul sense that she would definitely be optimistic about the gold coins.
"Alright, Dinas, I'm going to talk to Mavelyn about something else." Li Nuo said in his heart.
"Uh-huh!" Dinas was very obedient and took the initiative to cut off the soul sense.
Li Nuo looked at Mei Fule, who was staring at him, adjusted his sitting posture and said:
"Ma'am, let's get down to business. As I said earlier, I would like to cooperate with you in the field of knowledge. You pay the gold coins, I pay the knowledge, and the live transaction is not on credit, and there is no remorse. Before we can officially start this transaction, we must first sign a soul contract. ”
Li Nuo groped around in the blood space and took out a piece of parchment rolled into a bucket.
Soul Contracts are common in the wizarding world.
As long as the words "Soul Contract" are written in the title when the contract is drafted, then the contract will automatically become a soul contract.
Why does the word "Soul Contract" in the title make the contract a soul contract?
This is a very magical and extraordinary phenomenon. Its history dates back several epochs and is far older than the current wizarding nation of Unas Ring.
All the wizards who studied this remarkable phenomenon finally gave up. Because there's really nothing to study. This extraordinary phenomenon has become an integral part of the natural world.
Over time, the soul contract became one of the natural phenomena.
The soul contract that Li Nuo took out now was written by himself.
He is Party A and Mayflair is Party B.
Party A sells the knowledge, and Party B pays the gold coins. The parties jointly keep the transaction confidential. Leakers will be punished, including but not limited to amnesia, reduced sensory abilities, forced forgetfulness of magical knowledge, spiritual ocean decay, and more.
In the contract, Li Nuo deliberately emphasized one point. That is, he only wants gold coins, and nothing else. Even if a priceless magic item was placed in front of him, he would decisively shake his hand and refuse.
There is no other reason.
Anything other than gold is too easy to be traced and difficult to monetize. What's more, sometimes, expensive magic items come from the wrong way, and it is easy to attract the pursuit of wizard enforcers.
Li Nuo didn't want to be a channel for others to sell stolen goods.
So what knowledge can Li Nuo sell?
Death-type spells? Psychic spells? Or, a spell of the Eidolon branch?
Neither.
Selling spell blueprints directly is definitely looking for death.
Imagine what a buyer would think if she knew that Li Nuo could sell spell blueprints.
She would definitely be worried about whether the spells of the wizarding force she was in would appear on Li Nuo's list of goods. This will create a barrier to the transaction and create a gap between the buyer and Li Nuo.
In extreme cases, the buyer may secretly collect evidence of Li Nuo's crime under the guise of the transaction, and then report it to the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department.
This practice is tantamount to betraying Li Nuo, and will inevitably be punished by the soul contract.
But as long as the rewards given by the Wizard Law Enforcement Department and their own wizard forces can compensate for the punishment of the soul contract, then someone will definitely do it.
In order to minimize the possibility of the buyer betraying him, and in order to increase the cost of deliberately violating the soul contract in disguise, Li Nuo decided:
Currently, only the knowledge of academic skills is sold.
After the buyer spends a certain amount with him, Li Nuo will sell the spell blueprint to him.
To this end, Li Nuo also designed a set of membership systems.
This membership system will gradually improve as the number of buyers expands.
Now, there is no need for Li Nuo to write the membership system on the contract for the time being, after all, he only has one customer at the moment.
"Maefler, in the soul contract, I only mentioned that I could sell magical knowledge that did not involve spellcasting blueprints, but I didn't elaborate on what this knowledge was."
Li Nuo said calmly:
"After you have signed this contract, I will show you the knowledge available to you. If you are not satisfied with the knowledge I have provided, then our transaction will be terminated. According to the first clause of paragraph 3 of the contract, 'the buyer shall not pay any fee if the parties to the transaction fail to conclude the transaction, but must keep the list of knowledge provided by the seller confidential.' Otherwise, the buyer will accept the penalty of the contract with reference to the provisions of paragraph 4, paragraph 1'. The list of knowledge itself is also protected by the Soul Covenant. I hope you understand that, ma'am. ”
Maeve stared at the contract and nodded in thought:
"Okay, Li Lei. I've seen this. In addition to this one, I also noticed a special contractual clause. ”
Maeve held the contract in her hand and read it word for word:
"The two parties to the transaction cannot use this soul contract as a threat to force the other party or the person close to the other party to do things for themselves."
Maeve let go of the soul contract:
"You can see that you have thought it through. Even all kinds of unpopular situations have been taken into account. I am willing to sign this soul contract. ”
"I'm glad you took it." Li Nuo raised his hand, pointed to a certain clause on the contract and said:
"But I have to warn you, did you notice the third paragraph of the first paragraph? This is for the transaction process. The way I provide you with knowledge will also be protected by the contract. If you accidentally leak the way I provide knowledge, you will also be punished by the contract. ”
Maeve glanced at the contract:
"Yes, I noticed. I'm curious about how special the way you provide knowledge. You can't pass on knowledge like a professor, right? ”
Li Nuo smiled mysteriously and did not speak.
Without saying a word, Maevle took the magic pen and wrote her name on the contract.
The contract turned into white light, split in two, and shot into the heads of the two men.
With the message sent by the system, the transaction contract between Li Nuo and Meflle officially came into effect.
This contract is eternal. It will go on forever. The contract will only lapse if one of the parties dies, or if both parties agree to terminate the contract.
Once the contract expires, all the knowledge that Li Nuo has passed on to Mefla will be erased by the contract. To a certain extent, this prevents the buyer from killing people and taking back the money after paying.
Maeve sat on the couch and took a deep breath:
"Alright, Li Lei. The contract was formed. The manor's treasure vault also contains some gold coins. If your knowledge satisfies me, I will grant your request. ”
The soul contract is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.
The contract signed by Li Nuo and Meevle is the lowest specification, and does not have the special effect of "soul induction".
The level of specification has nothing to do with the punishment and effectiveness of the soul contract, but only affects the additional effects brought by the contract.
"Soul Sense" is one of the additional effects of the contract.
In addition to this, there is also the "soul positioning" that continues to locate both sides of the contract; After the death of one of the contracting parties, their souls belong to the other party. The soul crumbs obtained by either party must be divided into a part of the "soul distribution" of the other party, and so on.
To create a soul contract with the "Soul Induction" effect, Li Nuo needs to infuse the contract with a full 1,000 soul strength.
Before obtaining the River of the Heart: Volume II, Li Nuo did intend to do so.
But at this time today, Li Nuo had already found a psychic spell from "River of the Heart: Volume II" to replace "soul induction".
This spell is known as "telepathy". A spell that allows Leno to send a psychic message to the target of the spell.
"Maevele."
Lino's voice resounded in the depths of Maevre's heart, ethereal, ethereal, like a distant cry from the mountain wind.
Maevle's body shook slightly, her eyes widened to look at Li Nuo, and her mouth involuntarily opened a slit.
"You've mastered this spell"
Maeve's eyes were a little dazed. She recognized what the spell was. Li Nuo's sudden display of spiritual magic attainments made her lose her mind.
Li Nuo raised his index finger in front of his mouth, closed his mouth, and said only "telepathically":
"Empty your mind and don't be wary of me. As my customer, your body, heart, and soul are protected by a soul contract, and I will not do anything against you. From now on, we communicate only with our hearts, which avoids our transactions leaving traces in the material world. ”
Messia raised her hand and pressed it against her chest, which was covered with a silk coat.
After trying to calm the turmoil in her heart, she said in her heart:
"I wear a magic pendant that protects against psychic spells. It stands to reason that this pendant will react to your "telepathy", but why is it not moving? ”
Without Li Nuo's answer, Messia herself thought of an answer:
"I see! Your psychic magic skills are amazing! Although this pendant of mine is a high-level magic prop, your spiritual magic attainment is even higher, and it is very likely to be at the holy level. That's why you can bypass the pendant's protection and cast a "telepathy" on me! ”
Li Nuo was stunned when he heard this.
Messia has a high-level magic pendant that protects the mind magic?!
.
How did he know that?
Where is this pendant hidden?
Li Nuo glanced at the bulging full moon and white neck of the other party, and vaguely under the collar saw a silver necklace.
Aiming at the small necklace in the collar and throwing out the deconstruction, the corners of Li Nuo's mouth twitched slightly.
It's really a high-level magic pendant. Not only does it resist psychic spells, but it also protects Messia's soul. It is estimated that it is precisely because of the existence of this necklace that Messia is immune to the noise of the extraterrestrial sky in the pollution field.
That's embarrassing.
Li Nuo, in line with the principle of not ignoring indecent behavior, never carefully examined the specific details of women, so he did not notice the existence of magic pendants in time.
If he had known that Messia had this kind of magic item on her body, he would definitely have asked the other party to take the pendant off first, and then cast "telepathy".
But the question is, why didn't the pendant react to his "telepathy"?
Li Nuo called up his list of spells and looked at it.
His "Telepathy" has just arrived, and it has a 10% integrity rating and a level 1 level.
Level 1 "Telepathy" can only be applied to targets within three meters of him. When leveling up, you can choose between increasing the sensing range and increasing the number of sensors.
The most important thing is that the "telepathy" panel clearly states that this is only a high-level psychic spell, not a holy position spell.
It stands to reason that it shouldn't be able to bypass the magic pendant of the same high rank.
Is it because of my psychic spells, which can be immune to spell retaliation?!
Li Nuo's heart jumped.
He expended some energy to deconstruct Messia's magic pendant.
A magic effect appears on the solution result.
【Magical Effects】
Name: Reflex Mind Spell
[Level] 70
Type: Passive skill
[Charges] 70/70
【Effect】
When the person wearing the Magic Pendant is affected by any Psychic Spell, the Pendant will automatically reflect the Psychic Spell, causing a Psychic Spell backlash to the source of the spell.
So that's how it was. Li Nuo nodded secretly, figuring out the reason.
Under normal circumstances, when a mind wizard casts a mind spell, he or she will also be affected by the mind spell. This is a psychic spell that every mind wizard can't bypass.
When harmlessly deconstructing spell blueprints, deconstruction removes the backlash effect of mind spells.
Li Nuo originally thought that the "backlash effect" removed by the deconstruction technique only referred to the spell backlash that he would receive when he cast a mind spell.
It now seems that the anti-phagogue effect that has been removed also includes the anti-phagogue effect formed when the psychic spell is reflected.
Awesome, system.
It turns out that when I cast a psychic spell, I didn't even have to be afraid of the spell reflex. Yours is the real thing, the system.
Li Nuo gave a thumbs up in his heart.
He froze his mind, his expression calm and calm, and he showed an unfathomable image in front of Mavere.
Li Nuo nodded lightly and said in his heart:
"Yes, ma'am. I have some attainments in mind magic. Now let's get down to business. ”
Maeve looked at Li Nuo, her eyes flickering, and her gaze couldn't help but bring a hint of awe.
A wizard with the spiritual magic of the Holy Throne sat in front of her, and was willing to lower his profile to communicate on an equal footing and share knowledge for a fee.
This honor alone is enough to make Maeve happy.
How can I get so much attention from the other party?
Is it because of the money you have?
Definitely not!
It must be the thirst for knowledge that I unintentionally revealed that has attracted the attention of the other party!
Thinking about the horror of the Holy Throne's psychic magic, Maeve felt even more awe:
"No wonder he was chosen by Dinas to become Dinas's contractor. Even I'm a little excited."
"Ahem, ma'am, our telepathy hasn't been interrupted yet."
Li Nuo touched his nose in embarrassment.
Maeve was stunned for a moment, then a flush rose up on her cheeks that spread to the base of her ears.
As an elegant woman like a young woman, the picture of her red face and red ears has a unique flavor.
That's not good about telepathy.
Since the fragmented thoughts of human beings in their hearts are all mental activities at the spiritual level, both sides of "telepathy" can clearly sense each other's mental activities.
But there is one exception. Li Nuo's previous mental activity of thinking about the "anti-phagocytosis effect" would not be transmitted to Meevle.
Li Nuo is protected by the system, and all the broken thoughts in his heart will not be passed on.
Not only that, all information related to the system will also be blocked by the system, and it will never be leaked out in any way or through any channel.
Li Nuo couldn't even write down the words "deconstruct the core system" with pen and paper, let alone reveal the existence of the system with soul and telepathy.
This was the conclusion he came to after trial and error with Dinas after obtaining the "telepathy" method.
