"According to your latest island plan, how much funding gap do we have now?"

Li Nuo sat in the study of the single-family cottage and stretched lazily.

Dinas held the ledger in her hand, took the pen, and wrote a few lines in the notebook:

"The minimum standard for building an island for the new island plan is 200,000 gold coins in total. We only need 10,000 gold coins in cash to make up the 200,000. ”

Li Nuo smiled and said:

"Before I knew it, it was only 10,000. Mere trifle. When I go underground two more times and come back with some alchemy weapons, we can earn the 10,000 gold coins. ”

In the past half a month, Li Nuo has been spinning like a spinning top.

During the day, he soaked underground to collect sage particles and alchemy facilities, and practiced breathing, body forging and meditation at night, without wasting any time.

The rewards of these busy days are clear.

【Attributes】

Tenacity: 19. The progress bar of the forging action is filled three times, and the Tenacity attribute value is accumulated +3.

Vitality: 10. The cultivation progress of the breathing method reaches level 1 882/1000, and the vitality attribute value is +1

Strength: 5. The progress bar of the forging action is charged three times, and the Strength stat value is +3.

Dexterity: 13. No change.

Spirit: 40. Successfully cultivate the Martyrdom Meditation Method 17 times, and gain +17 Spiritual Stat.

Glamour: 23. Due to the change in body size, the charisma attribute value is +2.

[Soul Strength] 4518

[Energy] 37812/53(40+13)

The energy value has shrunk greatly, and the inventory of soul strength has also decreased. At the cost of this, the increase in panel attributes in exchange is totally worth it.

Moreover, Li Nuo's harvest is not just a change in the panel data.

He had taken a total of eight sage spaces from the Rift Corridor.

Three of them are alchemy wells, and the water output is about the same, and all of them are about the same as small magic water purifiers. The more fresh water you have in the deep sea, the better. Even if these three alchemical wells are not used in the future, they can be sold for a good price in the Ocean Magic Exchange in the Suman Islands.

Of the other five Sage Spaces, two are for building materials and three for fruits, vegetables, and wheat.

The Sage Space, which produces building materials, has a relatively small production and may not have much of a role in the Suman Islands.

But those three sage spaces that produce ingredients and grains are rare treasures in the deep sea.

Fresh water is needed to irrigate fruit groves and farmland, which is scarce in the Suman Islands. As a result, the prices of ingredients in the Suman Islands are high.

It can be said that if Li Nuo can take ten sage particles that produce ingredients at once, he will go to the Suman Islands. Then, just by relying on the daily sale of ingredients, he can step into the wealthy merchant class of the wizarding world in the foreseeable future.

Of course, it's the kind of little rich, not as good as the wealthy Maevele.

Li Nuo wanted to collect more Sage particles for the ingredients, but it backfired, and there were no more Sage particles of the same type in the rift corridor in Sector 6.

As for whether to run to Sector 5 to scavenge for Sage Particles, Li Nuo had no such plan.

Because it was the place where leather and wood were processed 30 years ago, there were no large underground entertainment venues and underground restaurants.

Compared to sector 6, the sage particles in sector 5 are biased towards the production of alchemy leather and alchemy wood. Li Nuo didn't need these two things.

In the underground corridors of other sectors, there may still be a lot of sage particles that produce ingredients. Considering that those sectors were the land of the owner, Li Nuo did not go to plunder.

At this point, the whole work of plundering the Sage particles is over.

As long as Li Nuo goes to the rift corridor again and brings some alchemy weapons out, he can scrape together the minimum funds needed for the plan to buy the island.

Where can I find an alchemy weapon worth 10,000 gold coins?

Hey.

Li Nuo smiled secretly.

He has ideas.

Three days ago, he used the "illusion technique" on the illusion ring to infiltrate the shaft to the black city.

The alchemists of the Alchemy Sanctuary are transforming the alchemy array in the spire. They wanted to use a more solid magic array space to seal the heirs of the Blood Sun God Seal.

Only after this step was completed could the alchemists restart the machine factory that produced the universal metal powder.

Li Nuo took advantage of the fact that there were no legal alchemists in the machinery factory area, so he went in for a walk. He took out a lot of illegal alchemists and got a card to open the door of an alchemical armed warehouse.

As long as you go to the warehouse and scavenge it, you should be able to earn 10,000 gold coins.

In addition to opening the alchemy cards in the warehouse, Li Nuo also discovered the stronghold of the Black Bone Hermitage Order.

These guys, who use black bone fragments as alchemy stones, have set up their strongholds in the corners of the Black City.

Li Nuo avoided the legitimate alchemists who roamed the Black City and made his way into the stronghold of the Black Bone Hermitage, a pitch-black cavern.

Li Nuo used "Perception Tampering" to evade the black bone hermit in the cave, and cooperated with the "Mind Bombardment" silent assassination to achieve perfect infiltration.

In the deepest part of the cavern, he found what he had always dreamed of:

The Black Bone Hermitage's Spirit Transposition Array.

It is a three-dimensional array that covers an area of more than 30 square meters and resembles a hollow pyramid. The user of the magic circle can open the magic circle by standing in the center of the magic circle, placing specific alchemical materials around him, and then infusing him with soul energy.

Li Nuo destroyed this three-dimensional array in a simple and crude way, and obtained its full set of alchemical blueprints.

By the way, there are still 30,000 energy points in the account.

Without the 30,000 energy point reward, Li Nuo's current energy inventory on the panel is only four figures.

"Dinas, I'm going to take a walk through the Rift Corridor right now. I may need you to teleport me out later. ”

Li Nuo sat at his desk and began to organize the contents of the blood storage space and magic pocket in preparation for the next trip to the cloister.

"Okay, then I'll go first. I'm always waiting for your news. ”

Dinas summoned torches, shook her hand at Leno, and teleported neatly back to her house without the slightest delay.

"Alright, all the alchemy items you want to use are in your magic pocket. It's time to go to the cloister and get the final touch. If the locals knew that I had taken so many sage particles and alchemical weapons from the ownerless corridor, they would probably have the idea of beating me to death... It's good that I've always kept a low profile. ”

Li Nuo stood up, his finger resting on the illusion ring, and was about to cast the "Illusion Technique".

Before officially going invisible, he habitually called up the magical vision of the "surveillance camera" to check the situation around the house.

A steam locomotive from the Cat Society Manor caught his attention.

Under Li's watch, the steam locomotive drove through the bustling streets, heading straight for the single-family hut he was currently in.

"Oh? Is the Elemental Judgment looking for me? ”

Li Nuo lowered his hands and interrupted the movement of rubbing the ring.

He thought about it for a moment, he hadn't agreed to meet with the Elemental Judge recently, did he?

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders slightly, without thinking deeply.

"The alchemy armament in the warehouse is there, and it can't escape. I'd better see what the Elemental Trial has to offer me first. ”

Li Nuo changed into a formal dress for visiting the door, and after the door was knocked, he walked into the living room on the first floor.

It was Filia who came to pick him up and take him to the manor.

After this period of adjustment, she is a little less optimistic about parting. Occasionally, when she remembered that she had not been able to see her parents for a short period of time, she would appear a little dull in the conversation, but she recovered immediately.

Li Nuo greeted her briefly, and then followed the other party into the car and went to the Cat Society Manor.

"What's the matter with me this time, Filia?" Li Nuo asked the beautiful witch sitting in the driver's seat.

"I don't know. It was the teacher who asked me to come to you. Filia shook her head slightly.

"Oh, that's it."

The man's first feeling told Li Nuo that something was slightly wrong.

If you think about it carefully, from the first contact with the Elemental Trial to the present, every time the other party comes to visit the door with a clear purpose—except for the one when Betty, a wild female meow, starts fighting as soon as she comes up.

Even if Maeve wanted to ask Lino to answer the doubts that arose in the course of learning knowledge, she would use an appropriate excuse to ask Filia or Betty to invite Lino to the manor.

But now, Filia herself didn't know why she brought Li Nuo to the manor.

Li Nuo has always firmly believed in the phrase "when things go wrong, there must be demons".

Judging from the experience of his two lives, this sentence has never been missed.

Obviously, the reason why the Elemental Trial invited him over this time could not be explained to his guest. So much so that Filia could only stiffly carry out the order, unable to reveal half of the secret.

Li Nuo maintained his due composure and calmness on the surface, and pondered carefully in his mind.

Pieces of information and pictures flowed out of his memory, weaving a long river condensed by clues in front of him.

Hmm~ Interesting.

It's supposed to be the Wizard Enforcer, right? Count the days, the arrival of the law enforcers in the Gathering City is a matter of the past few days.

Li Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Wizard Enforcer has the highest operational authority. They can enter any place by any means and by any means without notifying anyone, any extraordinary force.

In addition, wizarding enforcers are not simply as high in authority and as powerful.

Each of them has the means to "break the law".

The so-called "spell-breaking" means are extraordinary means that make it completely impossible for wizards to cast spells and use magic items.

Only by mastering this skill can a wizard enforcer be worthy of being called a "enforcer", otherwise he is just a clown who relies on his strength and background to shout.

It's like a pure light courtroom.

The most powerful wizard branch of the Radiant Wizard faction, all of its Battle Wizards of the Third Ring and above have mastered the spell-breaking spell "Daylight" that prevents the target from casting.

A ray of daylight descending from an artificial sun shrouded the enemy all around. Envelop the enemy with a large and pure amount of radiant energy, isolating it from all other energies, while preventing the non-radiant energy from its spiritual ocean from appearing outside the body. This way, enemies will not be able to cast spells in Daylight Magic.

Based on the number of members of the wizard enforcer, Li Nuo has a one-third chance of meeting a wizard enforcer from the Pure Light Court, and a two-thirds chance of encountering an enforcer from other wizard forces.

So, what kind of wizard enforcer is waiting for him in the cat society manor?

Li Nuo thought to himself, and he didn't panic at all.

He and Philia chatted as the steam locomotive drove into the manor gates.

Descend into the second floor of the manor castle and come to Maeve's study.

As soon as Li Nuo entered the room, he threw the deconstruction technique at Mefla, who was smiling a little out of shape.

Consuming 3,000 energy points in one go, Li Nuo grabbed recent memory fragments from the other party.

Li Nuo sat down and talked as usual, and divided a part of his mind to check the other party's memory fragments.

A woman who made Maeve a little embarrassed appeared in a certain memory.

It was a woman in metal armor like a barrel.

She wears a metal mask that covers the lower half of her face. The upper half of the face, which was not covered by a metal mask, had stiff contours, and the skin was covered with traces of wind and sun and a few scars that had been erased.

Her eyes had crimson pupils, and they were indifferent, sharp, and focused, as if nothing could catch her attention except to hunt down wizard criminals.

She had no hair and was bald. This is rare in the witch community, but it also makes her as determined and determined as a real man.

On her metal armor, there were no lines or words that symbolized status or status.

Only the magic sword flying beside her shows her identity.

Li Nuo recognized the origin of the sword at a glance.

Sword of Silence.

A magical sword with the power of posthumous silence.

This is a wizard enforcer from the Silent Maiden.

This offshoot of the Death faction draws the magic of silence from the aftermath of silence.

The specific principle of magic is unknown to outsiders, but it is certain that the magic of silence has its own spell-breaking effect, which is far more efficient than the "daylight technique" of the Pure Light Court.

The Silent Maiden only recruits witches and does not have any male members.

To be honest, Li Nuo would rather face the wizard enforcers of the Pure Light Court.

Because the wizards of the Pure Light Court are particularly fond of going through procedures.

They will strive for the legitimacy of the process, starting with the collection of evidence, and proceed with the trial step by step. This inevitably leads to inefficiency among the wizard enforcers of the Pure Light Court. Li Nuo had time to deal with their investigation.

But the Silent Witch of the Silent Maiden is different. These witches are particularly efficient. Once a person is found guilty, they immediately punish them without going through the trial process.

Like Samuelson, a mind wizard criminal. If he falls into the hands of the Pure Light Court, he will live for at least half a year. In this six months, as long as he can scrape together the money to pay the fine, he can also regain his freedom.

But in the hands of the Silent Witch, Samuelson only had three seconds.

In the first second, the Silent Witch will ask him with spell subtitles "Do you have the money to pay the fine?" ”

In the second second, Samuelson remained silent because he was shy.

In the third second, the spell light erupted, Samuelson received the lunch box on the spot, and the Silent Witch returned with the corpse to hand it over.

It's so decisive, that's it.

As he delved deeper into Mefla's memories, Leno gradually realized what he was about to face.

Under pressure, Maeve gave the Silent Witch information to the Silent Witch. This happened two days ago.

During these two days, the Silent Witch read all the information in the manor's secret room, and regarded him as one of the suspects.

Li Nuo could understand why the other party did this. I didn't have enough strength and experience before, so I will inevitably show some horses. It's normal for these clues to be caught by the Silent Witch.

Li Nuo is confident that through words and things that have been prepared for a long time, he can clear his suspicions.

But the question arises, why did the Silent Witch suddenly investigate the cause of Jikmando's death? Shouldn't she have gone back with Samuelson and the Soul Reaver tokens?

Lino reads Mevele's memories from back to front. When he flipped through the memories of four days ago, the truth came out.

Four days ago, after Mayfler had finished her "online" communication with the professor, the witch, who had always maintained her elegance, couldn't help but complain to Filia in her study:

"Gimat actually thinks that we killed Jikmando. Hmph, his students are trying to unite with the Black Bone Hermit to harm us, and I haven't settled accounts with him yet. ”

Gimat has found out that Jikmander is dead. Li Nuo nodded secretly.

Nine times out of ten, it seems that this guy is asking the wizard enforcers to investigate the cause of Jikmando's death. Except for him, the main professor, no one pays so much attention to Jikman Duo.

"Li Lei, thank you for answering my knowledge of death magic."

Maeve squeezed out some smiles and said:

"If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you to go to the castle's spell practice room and adjust the wand of death for me."

"Okay, I'm free."

Li Nuo smiled indifferently, got up and walked out of the study with the other party.

Spell practice room, a place dedicated to practicing spells. In order to prevent the spell from spreading to the other rooms, a special wall of magic stone up to three meters thick will be placed there.

By doing it to me in such a place, the Silent Witch can minimize the damage of the battle.

Using Maeve to lead me to the spell practice room was also a near-perfect excuse.

It seems that the Silent Witch already knows my strength from Maevele.

Even though she doesn't have tangible evidence that I killed Jikmando, she's prepared for the worst of violent resistance.

Li Nuo's heart was peaceful.

He didn't blame Maeve for revealing his situation to the Silent Witch, as he had considered Mefla's questioning by the wizarding enforcers.

In the soul contract he signed with Mefla, Li Nuo clearly wrote:

When Party B (Mefla) is questioned by a wizard enforcer, he or she must determine the reason for the questioning. If you are questioned about purchasing knowledge from Party A (Li Nuo), you should interpret the knowledge as a legitimate gain from exploring magical relics and the Lost Dimension. If you are not questioned for purchasing knowledge from Party A, Party B may inform the wizard enforcer of the true situation of Party A when asked for Party A's details, except for matters related to mind magic.

Why did Leno design this clause?

Because Leno knew very well what Maevle was like.

There's nothing wrong with being a witch with a thirst for knowledge, but she's also a mature witch who has been in the wizarding world for many years.

If she's only questioned by law enforcement for buying illegal knowledge, she can handle it tactfully.

But if she hadn't been questioned for buying illegal knowledge, as is the case now, when she was questioned on suspicion of killing Jikmando, then she would most likely have taken the initiative to cooperate with the law enforcement to clear her name because she didn't want to take the blame for others.

Li Nuo had no intention of forcing her to take the blame for herself, which would offend a customer, so he simply listed this in the soul contract.

This is one of the "unpopular situations" that Meflle refers to.

If Li Nuo hadn't designed the soul contract so carefully, Maevle would not have signed a soul contract with him. This is a contract to follow for a lifetime, how can Maeve be sloppy.

To sum up:

Li Nuo praised Mefleur's cooperation with the law enforcement investigators in the investigation, because the other party fully fulfilled his responsibilities in full compliance with the contract.

For such a witch who strictly enforces the soul contract, Li Nuo does not have any disgust or disgust.

As for the questioning and pressure from the Silent Witch, to be honest, Li Nuo didn't worry too much.

He, Li Nuo, never does anything that he is not sure of.
