Out of Selena's study door, Li Nuo and the others returned to their room.

Dinas was already a little numb in the face of Li Nuo, who suddenly showed that he "knows everything".

She lost count of how many times she had found something extraordinary in the other person.

From the very beginning of necromancy, magic scroll manufacturing technology, handmade wand manufacturing technology, to psychic spells, soul shaping spells, etc., since the two met, this series of changes gradually made Dinas adapt to Li Nuo's extraordinary.

Even if Li Nuo used the Holy Throne Spell, Dinas would not feel so unusual, but would have a sense of relief that "he really knew this spell", as if the stone hanging in his heart had fallen to the ground.

So Dinas, who returned to the room, was calm and calm, picked up the coin bag handed by Li Nuo, and stayed in the room obediently.

After settling the empathetic companion witch, Leno went to the other cabins on the middle deck to find Maeve and Carandi.

He thought that the other two would be very stubborn, and refused to leave through the portal in order to save gold.

As it turned out, Leno had some misunderstandings.

Without him having to persuade anything, Maeve and Calandi were already preparing to teleport away.

When Leno found Mevele, the wealthy lady was talking to Paredes, the leader of the law enforcement wizards.

A contract was quickly reached between the two parties.

Mefla paid 350,000 gold coins to buy seven teleportation slots to the Unas Ring.

After opening the portal, Paredes took Maevele and her six students back to the headquarters of the Pure Light Court, which was located in Starlight City, the capital of Unas Ring.

350,000 gold coins!

This number shocked Li Nuo, who was in attendance! Once again, he was impressed by Mave's wealth.

After the other party reached a contract with Paredes, Li Nuo and Maevele chatted briefly, and then they knew why the other party would teleport away so decisively.

"Didn't my research assignment in Convergence City get a score of 60? But this score is only tentative at this time. One of my research projects is to train the natives of Convergence City to become wizards. I'll have to get Filia, Betty, and the other four wizard students safely into the Unas Ring in order to get a solid 60 points. ”

Maevele touched the shriveled coin pouch around her waist and sighed a little sadly at Lino:

"Alas, in order to keep the 60 points, I was bleeding profusely. Luckily, Hortamus will pay me some compensation..."

"Indemnity?" Li Nuo asked.

Maefrau took out her ticket and shook it:

"Uh-huh, yes. On the back of the two tickets I bought for you, there are a few lines of small print. It reads, 'In the event of an accident, please negotiate compensation with Hottams'. You can take your ticket and go to Hotamus to ask for compensation. The amount is uncertain, it all depends on your eloquence. At least the fare will be refunded. ”

After being reminded by Mayfler, Li Nuo remembered this.

Passengers are willing to pay for tickets and spend money on the ship because of the reputation of Hotamus and the Metal Branch. Now that the magic ship has an accident, Hotamus must reassure the passengers and spend a lot of money to get the incident right.

For wizards who have been running shops on magic ships for a long time, they will receive far more compensation than passengers.

When Leno found Carandi, he learned about it.

Kalandi was also ready to teleport away. Unlike Mefla, Carandi's teleportation costs were fully reimbursed by Hotams.

Not only that, but when she arrived at the Hothamus headquarters in Starlight City, she was treated to a personal reception by the head of the Nature Branch, followed by a long list of discussions related to compensation.

"The instrument I used to purify the potion concentrate was not taken from the magic ship. The equipment happened to be working when it happened. The same goes for the automatic dilution of concentrates, the ecological cultivation tank for cultivating magic herbs on the ship, and the magic cold box for freezing magic elixirs..."

With reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and a notepad and pen in his hand, Carandi chattered and complained to Leno while counting his losses.

She took her belongings out of her magic pocket and placed them in the cramped room to check them out to see how much she had left on the magic boat.

The whole room was filled with all kinds of bottles and cans, and there was no place to put your feet at all.

According to her, she lost at least 620,000 gold worth of potions, elixirs, instruments and magic materials in this incident.

Li Nuo stood at her door, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and he heard a figure of hundreds of thousands of gold coins again. Considering that there are a total of eight shops on the magic ship, the total compensation may exceed 5 million gold coins.

"Take this, Jarvis, it's my gift to repay you for protecting me." Kalandi picked up a bottle of potion from the table and shoved it into Lino's hand.

This potion bottle is made of special magic glass, which is hard and tough, and can protect the medicine inside.

Holding it in front of him and looking at it, Li Nuo saw a light green ball of light swimming slowly in the bottle behind the pure and immaculate glass.

This small ball of light, which is only one centimeter in diameter, flies around the small tree in the bottle, like a spirit guarding the small tree.

Surprise and memories appeared in Li Nuo's eyes.

He suddenly thought of the half-meter-tall tree that was placed in Erica's office. The tree and the little finger-sized tree in his hand can be said to be exactly the same, and the former is the existence of the latter after being enlarged in equal proportions.

So, what are these two trees called?

Karandi has the answer.

"This is the elixir of life for a year." Kalandi said.

"Immortal .. Elixir? Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, "It turns out that this is the elixir of immortality~"

"Well, yes." Carandi pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose:

"If you take it directly, you can extend your life by one month. You can also save it for later. It's up to you to decide what to do with it. If you want to wait for it to grow a little longer before taking it, I happen to have some magic materials here to cultivate the elixir of immortality. The price of these magic materials is calculated according to the cultivation period. Cultivating the elixir of immortality for a year requires 100,000 gold coins to buy magic materials. You can always come to me to buy magic materials before I teleport away, and I'll give you a small discount. ”

100,000 gold coins... Nurturing for a year...

Li Nuo did a quick calculation.

The ratio of the year of the elixir of longevity to the conversion of the efficacy is 12:1, that is, every year that increases by 1 year can extend the life of the user by 1 month.

It is equivalent to buying 1 month of life with 100,000 gold coins.

The price is clearly marked, and there is no bullying for children.

It's no wonder that magic textbooks say that many natural wizard forces rely on magic elixirs such as elixirs of life to make their fortunes. For other magical elixirs, the older the year, the better the efficacy.

Li Nuo didn't have to worry about his lifespan for the time being, that was something that an aging wizard had to consider.

"I'd better take this elixir directly, ma'am." Li Nuo pocketed the elixir.

Carandi wasn't surprised. Her gaze swept the floor of the room full of glass bottles, picked up a potion and stuffed it to Li Nuo:

"This is for Dinas, a potion that moisturizes dry skin, both internally and externally."

"Thank you." Li Nuo smiled at the other party, and chatted with the other party for a while about the magic elixir, and then turned around and left with the gift.

Because of the magic of rebirth, Dinas doesn't have to worry about lifespan. The elixir of immortality that Li Nuo had just obtained was naturally at his disposal.

According to Kalandi, the public selling price of the elixir of immortality for a year is 10,000 gold coins.

The cost of cultivating the elixir of immortality reached 100,000 gold coins per year.

Is there a loophole in this?

For example, by taking the elixir of life for one year repeatedly, the life span can be repeatedly extended by one month.

The answer is no.

Magic elixirs of the same type and year will only have an effect when they are taken for the first time.

After taking the elixir of life for one year, one must take the elixir of life for more than one year in order to prolong one's life again. The extended life span is still converted according to 1 year = 1 month.

When Li Nuo returned to his room, he handed the skin-moisturizing potion to Dinas while he sat down in a chair and took the elixir of life.

Peel off the cork and hold the entire bottle upright with the mouth in line. The small green ball of light and the small tree in the bottle were sucked into Li Nuo's mouth like an aerosol.

The cool and refreshing feeling spread from the esophagus to the whole body, and when it was cold in his mind, Li Nuo received a message from the system.

[You have taken the Elixir of Immortality (1 year).] 】

[Your lifespan has been extended by 1 month, and it is now 21/83.08.] 】

1 divided by 12 equals approximately 0.0833.

This vial of elixir went down, and the upper limit of lifespan increased visibly with the naked eye.

Li Nuo sneered, and suddenly realized that the system news in his mind was not over.

[You dealt fatal damage to the Elixir of Immortality (1 year).] 】

[Passive deconstruction activation! ] 】

You have obtained the target's panel information. 】

[You have been rewarded with 10,000 Energy points.] 】

Li Nuo was slightly stunned, and then patted his head and reacted.

Behaviors such as eating, drinking, etc., do trigger passive deconstruction. It's just that because the energy reward brought by eating and drinking is too small, Li Nuo hasn't paid much attention to it.

Now, drinking the elixir of immortality for the next year gives 10,000 energy points. This just replenishes Li Nuo's energy value inventory, which can be regarded as a windfall.

This incident brought a revelation to Li Nuo.

With the "Metal Fusion" meditation method, he can control his energy below the upper limit. So how do you deal with unexpected situations that require a lot of energy?

Of course, it's a lot of potions and elixirs that can bring energy. Finding some magic props that can be easily crushed and broken can be worn with you, and the same effect will be achieved.

When you need to use energy, you can get a lot of energy by taking medicine or destroying magic items on the spot, and you can use passive deconstruction to get a lot of energy.

I'm such a genius...

Li Nuo held the glass bottle in his hand, shook his head, and sighed.

Dinas sat at the head of the bed, thinking that Li Nuo was reminiscing about the taste of the elixir of immortality, and asked curiously:

"Is it delicious? What is the flavor? ”

Li Nuo came back to his senses and smiled:

"It's like drinking ice water, it's still quite comfortable. But after drinking it, there is no change in my body, and I don't know if my life has been extended..."

The two were chatting in the house.

Exactly an hour after the meeting with Selena, there was a knock on the door of Li Nuo's room.

Li Nora opened the door and saw that the deep sea wizard who had led him and Dinas to Selena had come to the door again.

After talking to the other party for a few words, Li Nuo followed the other party to Selena's study.

About 10 minutes later, Leno returned to the room with a thick, sturdy metal box.

There is no suspense about the results of the investigation of the Deep Sea Branch.

The wizards of the deep sea found traces of drowned grass in the location described by Li Nuo, which confirmed that Li Nuo was right. He does possess the remarkable trait of being "omniscient."

In this case, Selena will fulfill her responsibilities according to the contract.

The wanted warrant is one of the things in the box. Selena has adjusted the period of the wanted warrant from two years to five years.

Three Unas gold coins in the denomination of 10,000 are the second item in the box. This is an investigation subsidy given to Li Nuo, and he can use it at his disposal. Of course, it is essential to state the whereabouts and uses of the funds in the investigation report after the fact.

The Law Enforcement Wizard Assist Mandate Order, which is the third thing in the box.

As soon as Li Nuo signed the daimyo, he had the power to freely enforce the law within the Suman Islands. Without signing this warrant, the Wizard of Law Enforcement must report to the Deep Sea Branch before he can enforce the law. Li Nuo omitted the link of reporting.

The fourth thing in the box was two teleportation crystals. Once the portal is opened, anyone who has a teleportation hedron will be sucked in by the portal. The teleportation hedron is the ticket required for teleportation.

Li Nuo threw out the deconstruction technique and looked at it.

Both Teleportation Crystals require 80,000 Energy to deconstruct. The system classifies them as Plane Magic Creations. Their destinations also point to the deep-sea branch of the Suman Islands.

"Alright, Dinas, everything is done."

Li Nuo sat on the single chair and breathed a long sigh of relief:

"Next, let's wait patiently. Once the disc ship is teleported away, Selena will return to the magic ship in an emergency ship. Once she's settled the passengers, we'll be able to teleport away with her. This trip is quite dangerous. The biggest gain is that the transmission fee is waived, 160,000 gold coins are saved, and a subsidy of 30,000 gold coins is also obtained..."

Dinas took the ledger and swept the 30,000 gold coins into the coin bag with a smile, looking like a little money fan.

"Hum..."

Li Nuo was about to meditate and rest, but there was a very obvious vibration sound outside the boat.

Li Nuo thought it was the ghost of the metal progenitor dragon. Walking into the hallway with Dinas to take a look, he realized that the teleportation array of the teleportation disc ship had been set up.

Uninterested in the teleportation, Dinas turned back into her room to try the potion Kalandi had given her.

Li Nuo stood in the hallway, looking at the scene in the distance.

A circular circle hovers directly below the disc ship. With a diameter of more than 2,000 meters, it can encompass an entire disc ship. Below the circular teleportation circle is the black sea and the magic ship.

This teleportation circle is composed of magical metals with excellent energy conduction efficiency. The battle wizards who built it, suspended in the air, used magic to hold the circle in place, keeping it stable.

When the Minister of Magic in the wizarding delegation gave the order, all the battle wizards began to pour magic into the teleportation circle.

Pillars of magical light of various colors are shot into the teleportation circle. In the center of the circular circle, a white light appeared.

When the light in the teleportation circle reaches its peak, a swirling white portal spreads in the center of the circle. This is what Li Nuo learned from "The Roots of Magic".

Before the White Vortex appears, the Battle Wizard must exert all his strength to output his magic without letting up in the slightest.

If the process of opening the portal is interrupted, the consequences are unimaginable. At the least, the portal fails to open, and all the mana previously output is scrapped; In addition, the teleportation circle explodes, triggering a large-scale magic backlash.

The battle wizards thought there were no enemies on the scene, and so did the wizard delegation. Only Li Nuo knew that directly below the teleportation circle lurked the will of the Metal Ancestor Dragon.

If the other party is going to do something, now is the best time to make a move.

It's not that Li Nuo didn't think to tell Selena about "something unusual happened to the magic ship". With the "knowledge of all things", he could have attributed the cause of his discovery of the anomaly to this extraordinary property.

But the trouble lies in how to verify that the magic ship has an anomaly. The cunning metal progenitor dragon was likely to go into hibernation when the wizards were deep into detecting the magic ship.

Regardless of the outcome of the detection, the law enforcement wizards will be vigilant, but correspondingly, this action will also arouse the vigilance of the metal progenitor, which in turn will cause Li Nuo to attract its attention.

From the perspective of stability, Li Nuo decided to press down on the idea of reporting Selena, even though doing so would create a huge hidden danger in this world.

There is no way, at this time, the strength is insufficient, and Li Nuo can't bear the consequences of being watched by the metal ancestor dragon.

The deck of the emergency ship grew noisy.

Noticing the white teleportation light in the sky, the passengers ran to the open-air deck and looked in the direction of the teleportation circle, soaking up the spectacle of magic.

Leaning against the fence, his brow furrowed slightly, Li Nuo kept an eye on the movement of the magic ship with deconstruction.

[It is estimated that 28.33 million energy points will be consumed, which can make the completion of deconstruction reach 100%]

[Estimated consumption of 28.35 million points...]

[Estimated consumption of 28.45 million points...]

[Estimated consumption of 28.55 million points...]

This...

What was that metal progenitor dragon doing?

Why does the deconstruction consumption suddenly increase to 100,000 points per second?

Li Nuo's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.

Time passed minute by minute, and although there was a white light flickering in the teleportation circle, the energy reaction intensity was still a long way from the appearance of the vortex white portal.

This is very perverse.

The teleportation circle should open the portal soon.

Is it the battle wizard in charge of opening the door who is slacking off?

No, it's not.

Li Nuo threw out the deconstruction technique and looked at it, and several battle wizards who output magic power had a negative effect called "insufficient magic power".

After a maximum of 3 minutes, the first wizard will appear who has to stop exporting mana due to the depletion of mana.

It's clear that something is wrong with the teleportation circle.

The wizard passengers on the emergency ship were talking. Most of them guessed that this sea of black folds was the ghost. It's hard to keep out what strange and extraordinary properties lurk in this sea.

"If the portal doesn't open, will the teleportation circle explode..."

"I'm most worried about the magic ship being affected. What if that disc ship falls from the sky and smashes the magic ship..."

"I'll never go out again... When I get the compensation from Hotamus, I'll find a place to live in peace..."

Li Nuo listened to the passengers' discussions, and his eyes locked on the magic ship.

After spending some energy to refresh the panel information of the magic ship, a few lines of system text attracted Li Nuo's attention.

…

Status Name: Forcibly fused

【Fusion Progress】90%

It is expected that after 72 minutes, Tulsali's Will and Bloodline Power will forcibly merge with the magic ship.

…

The fusion process, which used to take more than 11 hours, can now be completed in just over an hour.

All of this happened during the time when the battle wizards were outputting their magic.

The magic power output by the battle wizard should have been sucked away by the metal progenitor.

Li Nuo was very confused.

Didn't the metal progenitor dragon suck up so much magic power that it didn't arouse the suspicion of the battle wizards at all? Why didn't the group of wizards of the Nine Rings and the Ten Rings react at all?

Li Nuo was puzzled.

"Hum—"

A visibly high-pitched tremor was heard in all directions.

At the moment when the battle wizard was about to run out of magic, a bright light lit up in the teleportation circle, and the portal opened.

Under the watchful eye of the wizard delegation, the disc ship slowly sank, little by little, entering the white vortex portal.

Once its shadow vanished into the portal, the battle wizards closed the portal and began dismantling the magical metal frame of the teleportation circle.

Li Nuo's eyes froze.

He seemed to know how the Metal Protosaurus had done all this.

The problem may be with the magical metal frame of the teleportation circle, and isn't this kind of metal artifact the object that the metal progenitor dragon can manipulate at will.

Li Nuo took out the binoculars and carefully observed the teleportation circle.

After dozens of rounds of deconstruction were thrown, Leno spotted something unusual on a very thin, short strip of magical metal.

[System News:]

[You're about to use deconstruction on the "anomalous magic metal bar.] 】

[Estimated consumption of 6000 energy points, you can make the completion of deconstruction reach 100%]

【Attention! 】

Destructuring this goal has been detected to negatively affect you. 】

[It is recommended to use harmless deconstruction to deconstruct this goal.] 】

A magical metal bar that needs harmless deconstruction...

Leno squinted and searched the telescope's perspective.

Due to the distance and the varying sizes of the parts of the magic metal frame, Li Nuo searched as hard as he could, only finding more than thirty abnormal frame parts.

These frame parts, all of the same type and size, are magic metal bars. The deconstruction consumption is also exactly the same.

If Leno wants to deconstruct them, he has to do it as soon as possible. Because it won't be long before the battle wizard puts these magic metal bars in his magic pocket.
