201. Logging fortification
"Your grandmother has replied, miss." Kaida tore open the envelope and glanced at the text on the letter, his eyes flickering.
"Al Qaeda. What did my maternal grandmother say in the letter? Cian, holding her wand, walked over to the butler to see what the letter was about.
Kaida handed over the letter in his hand:
"Your grandmother said that the buyer named Jarvis was not a helper she had sent."
"Oh, that's rightβ" Sian took the letter and read it.
The standard magic pen handwritten font, the simple word "not", my grandmother's attitude towards her was as cold as ever.
"Shall we invite that buyer to the island?" Sian asked as she handed the letter back.
Kaida folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and stuffed it into a magic pocket. He stared at the ground for a few seconds, then took a slight breath and said:
"Miss, let me first investigate the background of the buyer. If that buyer has a connection with your brothers, then we may have to suspend the sale of the islands. β
"Why is there a moratorium on the sale of islands?" Cian looked confused, vaguely feeling that this matter was more complicated than learning magic.
"That's just my speculation for now, miss. I'll explain it to you as soon as it's all right. β
Kaida stretched out his arm and pointed to the spell target:
"Keep training, miss. Your wand lesson this morning isn't over yet. β
"Oh, okay." Qian Nian scratched her head and stood back in place with confusion.
Investigating a buyer's true background and origins is not difficult for a butler like Al Kaida, and it will not violate the law.
As an intermediary for trading islands, it is necessary for the Island Exchange to keep a record of the identity information of buyers and sellers.
The transaction contract brought by the salesperson Nelly will state the buyer's real name, power and identity. The seller's information will also be written on the transaction contract, and Al Kaida will fill in the "Pangula family".
On the contract for the sale and purchase of No. 1 Snow Mountain Island and other islands, the words "Buyer's Name: Leno Jarvis" and "Buyer's Identity: Wizard of the First Ring, Wizard of Law Enforcement" are clearly written.
The only thing that's special is in the "Buyer Power" section. In this line of columns, such a sentence appeared:
"In accordance with Unas Ring Decree No. 2, wizarding enforcers are not required to fill in force information when filling in personal information."
If Kaida wants to find out which wizarding force this buyer is from, he will have to ask the Deep Sea Branch that issued the "Law Enforcement Wizard Assist Defense Mandate" to this buyer.
A letter was sent by an owl messenger, and Al Kaida received a reply from the Deep Sea Branch after lunch.
The reply did not answer Al Qaeda's question positively, but it gave clues.
The letter reads:
In accordance with Article 42, Article 112 of Unas Ring Decree No. 6, we are unable to reveal to you the wizarding power of "Lino Jarvis".
Decree No. 6 is related to the Wizarding Forest, the Wizards' Forward Society.
Al Qaida flipped out the decree and looked it up.
Section 42 relates to the "Silent Maiden". It is stated that the members of the "Silent Maiden" are all wizard enforcers, and there is no need to reveal their wizarding forces to anyone.
The answer came out, the wizard named "Leno Jarvis" was a member of the "Silent Girl".
The members of the "Silent Girl"...
If memory serves, the members of the "Silent Maiden" are all witches, right?!
So "Leno Jarvis" is a witch with a male name!?
Kaida's eyes widened suddenly, as if she had foreseen something incredible.
This is ridiculous...
Al Kaida is a bit of a circle.
In order to find out the truth, Kaida sent several letters in succession, asking the Island Affairs Department, the Island Exchange, the Deep Sea Branch, and the professor of the "Silent Girl" for verification.
The professor of the "Silent Girl" was slow to reply.
However, the Island Ministry, the Island Exchange, and the Deep Sea Branch were the quickest to reply, all saying that "Leno Jarvis" was a wizard, not a witch, but was indeed a member of the "Silent Girl".
Kaida took the letters and fell into deep thought, and finally took them to find Sian, who had just woken up from a nap.
"Miss, I think it's necessary for us to invite this buyer to visit." Al Kaida handed the letter to Sian.
Syne yawned and walked out of her bedroom and was confronted by the butler, who had been busy for a long time.
She took the letter and looked at it, letting out several bizarre exclamations in succession, apparently surprised that a male wizard had joined the wizarding forces of witches.
"Then invite him to come, Cadea." Cianne looked up at the mottled roofs and walls:
"But we're too shabby here. Inviting him over like this, will there be some price drops? β
"Don't worry, miss. I'll take care of it. I kept some of the money I received recently, and I didn't hand it over to my family. I will use this money to renovate the necessary rooms and hallways. Both to welcome our first guest and to prepare for the rest of the guests in the future. Kaida said.
"Okay~ Then I'll leave it to you." Sian took a stride towards the end of the hallway.
"Miss, you're on the wrong track, that's the way to the back garden. Your wand lesson in the afternoon isn't done yet, please go this way. Kaida made a timely correction.
"Ao" Sian turned half a circle stiffly, and walked towards the corridor at the other end, "Don't you want to decorate..."
"I'll be renovating at night, separating you from the noise with a noise-blocking circle that won't interfere with your spell classes and sleep." Kaida was half a step behind and followed Sian.
Sian pouted reluctantly, and was stared at by Kaida and walked into the spell training room.

"Meow~"
Li Nuo was practicing his forging maneuvers at the bottom of the water at a depth of about two meters, and the meow that represented the magic messenger receiving the letter sounded in his head.
Li Nuo's forging action is not over yet.
He didn't bother with the letter, and let the snowwing cat keep it first, presumably from Carlandi or Merster.
Practicing the forging movement underwater is a bold attempt by Li Nuo on a whim.
With the help of "underwater breathing agents", he was able to adapt to the water pressure at a depth of 2 meters and the corrosive nature of seawater.
The "Water Shield" has an excellent performance in resisting seawater corrosion.
When the "Water Shield" is applied, the negative effects of Deep Sea Water are negated by the shield value.
For different levels of debuffs, the level is deducted and the shield value is divided by 10. The deduction period is equivalent to the time point at which the decision is triggered.
For example, in this No. 3 sea area. Every 35 minutes, Lenovo's "Water Shield" will deduct 10 shield points from the negative effect.
After determining that the corrosive nature of the seawater could be blocked by the shield, Li Nuo turned to studying the effects of water pressure on himself.
He found that the shield was not able to resist the water pressure.
Under the action of water pressure, the water film is tightly attached to Li Nuo's skin, and the water pressure is transmitted to Li Nuo's body through the contact between the water film and the skin, which is equivalent to bearing all the water pressure by himself.
Can you use "Magic Manipulation Mastery" to transform the shield from a water film to an eggshell-like appearance, and then expel the sea water from your side?
Li Nuo tried, it can be, but it is very, very difficult.
Almost as soon as the water film was about to leave the surface of the body, the shield value dropped by more than 80 points.
Li Nuo hurriedly terminated his attempt.
He quickly figured out why.
In an underwater environment, the act of using a shield to dispel the sea water from the side is equivalent to creating a vacuum around the body.
The pressure difference between the vacuum environment and the seawater pressure is staggering.
So, don't think about using the "magic shield" to drain the sea water from your side, and honestly use your body to withstand the water pressure.
Otherwise, you can only find an opportunity to learn deep-sea magic and master the deep-sea spells that can move freely underwater.
After Li Nuo figured this out, he began to use the pressure of the sea water to practice the forging movement.
Difficult, sticky, and with tremendous resistance between gestures, the forging movement inevitably deforms.
Just a minute after receiving the letter, Li Nuo barely completed a set of forging movements.
The system sent a message that the completion rate of the action was only a pitiful 3%, and almost no experience was gained.
Li Nuo thought that there would be a special bonus to practicing forging movements underwater, but now it seems that he is lying to himself.
However, it cannot be said so absolutely.
"When my tenacity and strength improve, I'll try again. Maybe when I get above the passing mark of 60% of the action completion underwater, there will really be a special effect. β
Thinking so in his heart, Li Nuo stirred the sea water and floated to the surface.
He flew out of the sea with a "death flight" and landed on the beach of Snow Mountain Island No. 1.
Summoning a snow-winged cat, bringing a letter, and rewarding the other party with a small snack, Li Nuo watched his cat leave.
He glanced at the text on the envelope, raised his eyebrows, and was surprised to find that it was the professor who sent it to him.
Tearing open the envelope and looking at it, Li Nuo smiled awkwardly.
There is a man who claims to be the butler of the heir of the Pangula family, and asks Professor Erica about his Li Nuo's gender...
Professor Erica sent a letter to ask if she wanted to reply to the other party.
Erica did not ask in the letter about the relationship between Li Nuo and the other party, and how the two parties met.
Li Nuo guessed that the self-proclaimed housekeeper should have something to do with the island he had recently purchased.
Because of what Li Nuo has done recently, only this one is related to the Pangula family.
Li Nuo took out a pen and paper, wrote a reply letter in thought, explained the situation to Erica, and asked the other party to truthfully tell the butler his true gender.
After doing this, Li Nuo faced the sea and his thoughts surged.
He has finally caught the attention of the Pangula family.
This was expected by him.
He bought a total of five islands, each of which had been excavated for the island's resources.
In the eyes of the Pangula family, the five islands were empty shells, worthless except rocks, mud and forests.
But it was such an island, and Li Nuo bought five in one go.
Even if the Pangula family doesn't look down on these islands that have been harvested resources, they will find things a little strange.
That's the attention that Leno was hoping to arouse.
According to Li Nuo's speculation, at this time, the person who claimed to be the housekeeper should be investigating his Li Nuo's true origin.
There is a high probability that the other party will invite him to meet and further explore the truth and reality. The reasons for this are very complex, involving intrigue within the big family, multiple friends and multiple paths to form a good fate, and so on.
Li Nuo still didn't know who was paying attention to him, so he had to imagine all the situations and plan countermeasures in advance.
If he can reach a friendly and cooperative relationship with the other party in the first meeting, then the island he bought will be able to be realized more quickly and converted into real profits.
Compared to farm-type operations such as quick bounty quests, the operation of building friendly relations with powerful wizard forces is a storm-type operation.
Once the latter is successful, Li Nuo will bring about a qualitative change in terms of network resources. And this kind of change can save a lot of trouble, and it can also speed up the accumulation of original capital.
Li Nuo still attaches great importance to the first meeting with the Pangula family.
"Just let me wait for the invitation letter to come to you. I hope that the members of the Pangula family who met me are not too strong, and their status in the family is not too high, otherwise I may have some headaches to deal with..."
Li Nuo shook his head slightly, calmed his mind, and flew towards the magic current.
He retrieved the results of the six wanted warrants in his mind and quickly read the contents of the wanted warrants.
At the moment of returning to the inner circle of the archipelago through the magical current, he had already chosen his first wanted target.
"Lytuart, an inferior witch-level criminal, a three-ring deep-sea battle wizard, with a bounty of 130,000 gold coins. His deep-sea magic comes from the Dreadsail Pirate Nation. He is involved in two cases of missing fishing boats and the poisoning of three seaside ecological farms, and his crimes are to death, but he has torture value, and may be able to pry out information about the terrorist pirate state. Capture him alive for a 100% bounty. Only 20% of the bounty will be awarded for turning in the corpse.
"Shall I capture him alive or hand over the body?
"Hmm... I'd better hand over the corpse, because the bounty will be smaller, but it will save a lot of things. After all, I use psychic magic in the process of catching criminals, and if I let the wizard criminals who know that I know I know psychic magic live, then I'm in big trouble. β
Leno closed the consequences of the other five wanted warrants in his mind, leaving only Lytuart's wanted warrants.
Once he arrives at the Inner Circle, he takes a magical taxi to the edge of the Inner Circle, and then casts a flying spell to enter the island of the Inner Circle.
After entering the outer circle, Li Nuo followed the information provided on the wanted warrant and hovered near an island held by the Marine Fishery Company.
Intelligence said that a wanted criminal, named Lytuart, had been on the island four days earlier.
He was trying to poison the fishing grounds, but was soon spotted by the wizard on duty.
After wounding the wizard on duty, he cast a deep-sea spell and disappeared into the sea.
It was difficult to track down such a wanted criminal, who had been absconding for four days, and no one knew where he had gone or where the next crime would be.
But that's for the average law enforcement wizard.
Li Nuo first pretended to check the scene of the crime and showed that he had been there.
He then returned to the Island Department and retrieved the poison vials found at the scene of the crime.
The Ministry of Island Affairs will conduct a preliminary appraisal of the items involved in the case, record the appraisal results, and prepare an appraisal report.
Li Nuo glanced briefly at the contents of the report, which mentioned that the style and craftsmanship of the poison vial were the style of the Cahill Continent.
The authors of the report suspected that Lyturt had bought the poison from an ocean-going merchant on the Cahill continent and suggested that the enforcers should investigate with the ocean-going trader.
Li Nuo was unimpressed by the appraisal results in the report.
He aimed at the poison vial, which was sealed in a clear glass container, and threw the deconstruct, which cost 10 energy to obtain the result of the dismantling of the poison vial.
The message fed back by the system shows that:
This poison vial was made by a magic glass workshop on an island in the outer ring of the Suman Islands. This is a world away from the speculation in the appraisal report.
According to the contents of the appraisal report, if you can find Lytuart, there will be a ghost.
Li Nuo was too lazy to waste time.
He flew directly over the Enchanted Glass Workshop and used deconstruction to obtain everyone's "identity" column.
Coincidentally, Lytuart, disguised as a workshop worker, was among them, sitting under the awning with a group of laborers.
Leno descended from the sky and landed in front of the laborers, pointing his finger at Lytuart, throwing out the "mind control" that had already been in his hands but was rarely used on humans.
The completeness of this spell is very low, only 10%, it has little control over the target, and it cannot be cast repeatedly on the same target for a short period of time.
However, it can cause the target to enter a "trance" state.
Before Lytuarte could figure out the situation, he felt a violent dizziness hit him, and his body involuntarily froze on the bench.
Li Nuo said in a deep voice:
"Assist in the prevention of law enforcement wizards to handle cases. All but the person I was referring to immediately left the scene. β
The laborers scattered and hid under the eaves more than a dozen meters away, except for Lituart, disguised as a laborer, who remained in place.
Until all the innocent laborers left, Lytuart, who was hit by "mind control", did not recover from his trance.
Facing the stupid enemy, Li Nuo pointed out his finger like lightning and fired a black pillar of light, piercing the opponent's head and heart.
In order to make the disguise more realistic, Lytullt did not maintain a magic shield.
The ray shot by Li Nuo landed on his body, immediately piercing his body, leaving two round holes.
Lytuart, who had the strength of the three rings, was killed on the spot, and he failed to use even the most basic means of counterattack, justification and self-preservation.
It's not to blame him for his incompetence.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Li Nuo for having already seen all the details of him, and as soon as he made a move, he rushed to kill him, and he had no intention of interrogating him.
If a complete set of strong control + high-power offensive spells can't get rid of the unsuspecting battle wizard in seconds, then Li Nuo is really a blind deconstruction technique, as well as up to level 100 "Death Two Fingers" and "Mind Control".
Yes, in order to pursue a 100% control success rate, Li Nuo instantly clicked "Mind Control" to level 100, and when triggering the full level 10 rewards, he chose "Option 1: Increase the control duration by 10%".
Now, with a level 100 "Mind Control", you can control targets with 10 rings or less for at least 1 second.
The lower the ring level of the target, the longer the control time.
For the four-ring wizard with less than 150 "spirits", regardless of whether they are combat wizards or not, as long as they are hit by "mind control", they will definitely enter a trance state for up to 7 seconds.
This is where Li Nuo's confidence lies in killing the other party in seconds.
Li Nuo used the "wizard's hand" to collect the dirty blood that was about to land, and did not stain other people's territory.
After a brief look at the triggered passive solution, Leno used the body bag to collect Lytuart's body and put it into the magic bag.
After this step, the owner of the magic glass workshop has just arrived.
After showing the "Mandate Order" to the other party, Li Nuo left with Lytuart's corpse, not saying a word from beginning to end, nor wasting even a second of his time.
Back at the Island Department, find the agent Jenara, write a report on the scene, and hand in the body.
According to the rules of the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department, whoever kills the criminal has the right to distribute the spoils of the criminal's body.
Leno unceremoniously put the contents of Lytuart's body into his magic pocket, and used the spirit sucking crystal to collect the fragments of his soul.
After Jennara confirms that the deceased is indeed Lytuart, Leno turns and walks to the door to track down the next wanted man.
"My bounty is in your possession for the time being, Jenara. I'll wait until I've got all six wanted criminals out and I'll come back to you to get them. β
"Okay, Jarvis!" Jennara watched with admiration as Lino left.
This kind of thing can be done with careful planning and a certain amount of strength.
But only Leno can lock down the wanted man in such a short period of time, which has to make Jennara admire.
