Three days later, the inner circle, the Ministry of Insular Affairs.

In the office of the bounty agent Jenara, Li Nuo is reconciling accounts with Jenara.

"The first wanted man, Lytuart, you turned in a relatively intact corpse. The Island Department examined the corpse and confirmed that there was no trace of the "Soul Retreat Crystal" on the corpse. Lyturt himself did not master the spell of soul separation. So, Lytuart was indeed killed. I will now pay you 20% of the total bounty, which is the gratuity you deserve. The remaining 80% will be returned to the bounty promoter by the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department. ”

While relaying the autopsy results against the autopsy report, Jennara pushed 26,000 worth of gold coins in front of Li Nuo.

"It's the same with the second wanted man, you turn in a corpse. The same is true for the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth wanted criminals. The autopsy report confirmed that all five wanted criminals were killed. ”

Jennara placed the other five honorarities on the table and pushed them to Lino. She looked at the calm and relaxed wizard across the table, and couldn't help but say with emotion:

"You're so neat. Six wanted criminals who have committed their crimes to death, and you have all adopted the method of law enforcement by killing on the spot rather than being brought back for trial. Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry. At least the sixth wanted man, you can get him back and interrogate him yourself, or hand him over to the Island Ministry. This way, not only will we be able to get more clues and find more traces of criminals, but you will also be able to reap the full bounty. It's a shame to think that you only got 20% of the total amount of the six bounties."

Li Nuo smiled:

"I've got my own arrangements, Jenara. Since wanted crimes are dead, the dead criminals are good criminals, and I think they are wasting the clean water of the Suman Islands by living one more day. You're right? ”

"That's what I said, but." Jennara always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

She lifted her shoulders slightly, and no longer argued with Li Nuo, after all, the biggest contributor to the arrest of criminals was the other party, not herself:

"Okay, Jarvis. In terms of the specific execution of bounty missions and wanted warrants, it is still up to you. Well, what are you going to do next? I haven't heard of any shows up from the wanted criminals recently, and there are no bounty missions that meet your requirements for the time being. ”

"Let me think." Li Nuo propped his chin on the armrest and entered a state of thought.

The high-intensity work of the past three days has not only allowed him to receive six honorariums.

All six criminals are from the Terrorist Pirate State.

Just the results of the decomposition brought about by passive deconstruction can weave an intelligence network about terrorist sails for Li Nuo.

The level of these six criminals is not high, and the combat strength is at most four rings.

They were specifically responsible for wreaking havoc in the outer ring of the Suman Islands.

The destruction of seafood, clean water, farms, orchards and other production facilities in the Suman Islands by poisoning, arson, blasting, etc., is a task that they must carry out on a regular basis.

Every half a month or a month, complete a sabotage mission, and six criminals can receive funding from the Terrorsail Pirate State.

The subsidy includes: deep sea magic required to practice the "Deep Sea Scale Meditation Method", gold rewards, magic elixirs, magic items, magic books for deep sea spells and meditation methods, etc.

After these six criminals become the wizards of the Five Rings, they can truly step into the ocean and become veritable terror pirates.

This set of promotion systems within the Fear Sail Pirate Country is still relatively scientific, which makes Li Nuo feel very happy.

Very, very cool.

Due to the fact that the members of the 3rd and 4th Rings tend to work alone, they will carry important items with them or hide them in hidden corners.

It would be great if they had important items with them, and Li Nuo could have found them directly in the loot.

It doesn't matter if it's hidden in a hidden corner, Li Nuo can find clues in the deconstructed memory fragments, and then get the important items in his hands.

No matter what, important items can't escape Li Nuo's palm.

Now that you think about it, the benefits of killing a wanted criminal are staggering.

The total proceeds of the six wanted criminals include:

Six honorariums with a total amount of 166,000 gold coins.

Volumes 1 to 4 of the Deep Sea Scale Meditation Method cover the cultivation content of this meditation method from the first ring to the fourth ring. Li Nuo cracked the magic lock and learned this meditation method with harmless deconstruction;

The magic book "Secret Book of the Deep Sea", volumes 1 to 4, record some of the spells of the wizards of the deep sea from the first to the fourth ring. After breaking the magic lock, Li Nuo used harmless deconstruction to obtain three spell blueprints, with completeness ranging from 10% to 20%;

six sets of deep-sea magic robes, magic wands, underwater breathing masks, and three magic rings that record simple spells;

Six soul fragments, a total of about 1,300 soul strength;

The cash and equivalents on the six criminals totaled 180,000 gold coins.

In terms of energy rewards, the system directly rewards a total of 130,000 energy points.

In addition, among the personal belongings of the six criminals, there are many strange magic gadgets and precious metal ornaments.

All of these things can be rewarded with energy in a passive structure, which adds up to about 300,000 energy.

Li Nuo didn't use this energy for the time being, but saved them as a backup.

All in all, just killing six criminals in seconds brought Li Nuo more than 300,000 gold coins.

This harvest can be described as blood-earned.

Li Nuo is eager to continue this kind of work.

But unfortunately, the Terrorist Pirate Nation has already received a tip, and they have noticed the news of the violent death of six peripheral members one after another.

While Leno was tracking down the sixth criminal, this guy had already boarded an ocean-going merchant ship fleeing the Suman Islands, intending to take refuge on the mainland of Cahill.

If it weren't for Li Nuo's quick action, it would really be possible for this guy to escape.

Fortunately, Li Nuo successfully stopped him.

Judging from the memory fragments that were passively deconstructed, the criminal was reminded by the Sail Pirate State, and then embarked on a journey to avoid the limelight.

And the way he connects with the Dreadsail Pirate Nation is very interesting, it is exactly the same as a legal wizard, and he also communicates face-to-face with Professor Dreadsail through spiritual connection.

Of course, the "fear of sail professors" is not an official statement. In the Terrorist Pirate Country, the position of professor has another name, and Li Nuo has not received this information for the time being, but he only knows that such a person exists.

As things stand, Leno will have to disappear for a while before the next group of pirates wanted to wreak havoc in the Suman Islands.

Or, he can only adjust the screening criteria and select the criminals with the combat strength of the fifth and sixth rings as the tracking target.

But it's a bit difficult to kill such an enemy in seconds, which doesn't fit Li Nuo's definition of "farm strategy".

"Jenara, I'm going to rest for a while." 李诺 says:

"You'll let me know as soon as there's news of the wanted and bounty missions I need."

"Okay, Jarvis." Jennara was not disappointed when she faced Li Nuo, who was planning to take a vacation.

She knew the situation here in the Suman Islands, and in two to three days at most, there would be wanted criminals and bounties that met Li's requirements.

No way, who said that this place has a huge flow of people.

"I have something here, and I want to ask you for help." Li Nuo took out 100,000 gold coins from the table and put them back in front of Jenara:

"I need to rent a stone house for a long time in the visitor area of the inner circle. The 100,000 gold coins are a year's rent. You can help me get in touch with the Deep Sea Branch. ”

"No problem." Jennara found a pen and paper and wrote a receipt to Li Nuo:

"After I arrange the stone house in the visitor area, I will bring you the lease contract and the house key."

"Well, that's all for this time." Li Nuo swept the rest of the money into his magic pocket along with the receipt.

Before Leno could get up and leave, Jennara stopped him:

"Wait a minute, a few people have asked me to bring you a message."

"Oh? What? Li Nuo stopped getting up.

"You're a bit of a celebrity now, Jarvis." Jennara smiled and said:

"Your efficiency and means have attracted the attention of some people. They asked me and Lady Selena about you, and wanted to see which wizarding force was a member of such a good law enforcement force. I have to say that although your current wizard ring level is not high, it is enough to enter the field of vision of certain forces. ”

Li Nuo thought about one or two:

"Let me guess, some of the forces you mentioned should include the Pangula family, right?"

"Yes, Jarvis." Jennara snapped her fingers and said:

"The Pangula family is just one of them, one of the most powerful wizarding forces in the rock and metal realms, and is very influential here in the Suman Islands.

"In addition to the Pangula family, the Mantas family, who control the magical goods exchange, the Haitian family, which controls the largest shipyard and the largest number of dockyards in the archipelago, and the Chanar family, who control the ocean shipping route from the archipelago to the mainland of Cahill, are also asking for your news. The bounty quests you received before are more or less connected to these families. ”

Li Nuo nodded slowly.

This was what he expected.

As a man who takes one step and sees three steps, he has sufficient plans and preparations to deal with the concerns of various families.

"Why are these families asking about me?" Li Nuo asked knowingly.

"Of course, I asked you to be the family advisor." Jennara rummaged through the drawer and took out a few invitations and placed them in front of Li Nuo.

Family advisor, well, yes, just as I expected... Li Nuo must be sure that things are going in the direction he planned.

A family advisor is a non-family wizard who provides magical advice to the head of the family in a specific field.

The essence of a family advisor's job is to make recommendations. If he needs to intervene, the honorarium will be calculated separately.

Such a role has very obvious benefits for Li Nuo.

First, there is no strong dependency relationship between the family advisor and the family, and Li Nuo can end the consultant contract with the family at any time.

Second, the family advisor can sit in on the internal meetings of the family manager.

Li Nuo didn't care about the content of the meeting, what he wanted was the opportunity to contact the inner circle of each family.

In this way, he can grasp a huge amount of information through deconstruction, and it is the kind of information that hides great wealth and extraordinary power.

Finally, the advice provided by a family advisor does not represent the sale of knowledge.

In many cases, the family advisor simply gives a point of view without having to explain why. This suits Li Nuo, because many of his judgments are made by solving the consequences, which is difficult to explain to others.

There are also disadvantages to becoming a family advisor, but Li Nuo has already considered a plan to deal with it.

Look at the envelope on the table. No more, no less, just four invitation letters, corresponding to the four wizarding families that Jennara just mentioned.

Each invitation letter bears the family emblem.

The Pangula family began by exploring and extracting minerals, and their emblem is "the pickaxe that strikes the ore and jumps out of Mars".

The Mantas family specializes in running magical goods exchanges in various places, and their emblem is "a scale with magic gems on the left and equal gold coins on the right".

The Haïr family is a well-known magical ship tycoon, whose insignia is "a magical mechanical ship that splashes large waves when launched".

- The Magic Mechanical Ship is not a metal magic ship owned by Captain Berkeley. It was obtained by renovating steam mechanical ships and sailboats, and had the appearance of a normal ship.

The Channar family specialises in the ocean-going trade and the operation of magic workshops, farms, orchards, etc. It controls important shipping lanes by accurately detecting fog thresholds and building a fleet of magical machines at sea, with the emblem of "an ocean-going fleet heading towards the rising sun on the horizon".

These four families are not all of the familial wizarding forces here in Suman.

In addition to them, there are dozens of family forces in the archipelago.

The rest of the family forces did not send a letter of invitation to Li Nuo, not because they looked down on him Li Nuo, but simply because of the lack of information and network resources, they had not heard about Li Nuo.

Only the top wizard family with the most extensive connections and the fastest intelligence channels can complete the due diligence on Li Nuo's identity background and true origin in such a short period of time, and then send him an invitation letter.

It is estimated that in a few days, Jennara will receive letters from small and medium-sized family forces one after another.

Li Nuo flipped through the four invitations on the table and examined them one by one.

All four letters of invitation were issued in the name of the family, and the inviter was the legal heir of each family.

It seems that here in the Suman Islands, the business of each family in the archipelago is handled by the heirs of the family.

This type of family heir who is in charge of a family business in a certain place is the local manager.

They were the ones who sent the invitation letters, and they were also the ones who paid attention to Li Nuo.

Then, the people who asked Professor Erica for news before should be them.

Li Nuo mentally matched Professor Erica's letter with the invitation letter in front of him.

"Well, Jarvis, do you have any plans to become a family advisor?" Jennara asked after seeing Li Nuo finish reading the invitation letter.

"I'll have to think about it." Li Nuo thought about it and responded:

"Although I can serve as a family advisor to multiple families at the same time, and I don't have to quit Silent Girl, the price comes to being on call and being the first to be there when the family needs me. It's going to delay my own business. The most troublesome thing is that multiple families summon me at the same time. Whichever family I am called to go to, there is a risk that I will offend the others. However, it is still good to take the invitation letter and meet with the local managers of each family first. ”

Li Nuo put away the four invitation letters and prepared to visit them one by one, looking for opportunities to attack tough problems, so that his combat strength and financial strength would make a qualitative leap.

His current energy inventory is so large that it explodes, just in time to deconstruct the magic books he has seen in various families.

It would be great if you could unlock Shaping Magic.

Leno got up to say goodbye, and Jennara escorted him to the door.

On the invitation letter that Li Nuo got in his hand, there was the contact information of the manager's housekeeper. As assistants to the head of the family, each of these butlers has their own magical messenger.

Before Li Nuo came to visit, he had to contact the housekeepers and make an appointment with the time and place, otherwise it would seem abrupt.

When you visit, you should dress formally, and you can't take it lightly because you are a guest, thinking that the other party will be very respectful and tolerant of you, and you must pay attention to rules and etiquette in everything.

Also, Li Nuo has to inquire about the hobbies, habits, comments and dislikes of the heads of each family, so as to cater to the preferences and handling styles of the other party, and brush up more favorability.

Most of these trivial but essential things were known by Li Nuo before he crossed over, and a small number were summarized by understanding the background of the world after crossing over.

In short, he must be fully prepared and fully understand the "habits" of the manager before he can come to visit.

If you use a door-to-door visit as a way to get to know the manager, you're doomed. Knowing who is in charge must happen before the visit. It is because many people don't know this truth that they will be deflated everywhere in the social field.

Li Nuo is a human being, so naturally he will not make such a mistake.

"If you want to understand the owner, it should be the easiest to throw a deconstruction technique at him. But where do I find these tightly guarded managers? ”

Li Nuo strolled through the streets, thinking to himself.

Due to the extraordinary power, important members of the wizarding family in this world will be guarded by powerful battle mages. Some important members of the family may have six rings, seven rings, or even higher fighting strength themselves.

otherwise

Otherwise, just the secret battle within the family for the right to inherit the first priority is enough to kill the family members with the highest succession ranking.

As you can imagine, as local family owners, they will live on one of the islands in the inner ring, spend most of their time in the magic castle to attend family affairs, and a few of them will travel low-key and attend banquets.

Li Nuo rashly appeared near the island, squatting secretly, waiting for an opportunity to throw out the deconstruction technique, which would be caught by the family guards on the island if it was not done well, and then stiffen the relationship.

Li Nuo didn't want to see such a scene.

He shook his head slightly, and said secretly in his heart:

"Forget it, let's follow the most normal process of visiting. I first communicated with the manager's housekeeper and had a brief communication to understand the situation of the manager. When you are fully prepared, you will pay a formal visit to the manager. This will take some more time, but after all, this is a difficult operation, and it is inevitable that it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive. As long as the results are good, it's all worth it. ”

"Mr. Jarvis" A familiar female voice came from the front, just in the way of Li Nuo.

As soon as Li Nuo looked up, he saw Nelly, the island salesman he had met several times, and the other party had obvious joy on his face.

"Good day, Nelly." Li Nuo said hello.

Nelly stepped forward, took out a letter from her magic pocket, and handed it to Li Nuo:

"Mr. Jarvis, the seller of the five islands you bought, ask me to bring you a letter. I don't have a magic messenger, so I wanted to deliver the letter to the Ministry of Island Affairs myself and ask the bounty agent there to deliver it on my behalf. I didn't expect to meet you on the road. ”

"A letter from the seller of the island" Li Nuo took the envelope and looked at it, on which appeared the "pickaxe" emblem of the Pangula family.

If you look closer, isn't this an invitation from the Pangula family?

Why did you get another invitation letter from the Pangula family??

A string of question marks crossed Li Nuo's mind.

He controlled the expression on his face, maintained a calm look, nodded and said:

"Thank you, Nelly, thank you."

"No thanks, sir, this is what I should do. Thanks to you for buying the island from me, I'll soon be able to scrape together enough money to try my hand at the Magic Courier. ”

Nelly smiled and waved goodbye.

It seems that Li Nuo's purchase of five seats in a row left a very deep impression on her.

Li Nuo tore open the envelope in his hand and poured out the letters inside.

He compared the letter with the one he had received from Jennara and soon discovered the differences between the two letters from the Pangula family.

The previous letter was sent in the name of the fifth in line to the throne of the Pangula family.

And the letter that Li Nuo is holding now is issued in the name of the twenty-fifth heir to the Pangula family.

fifth, twenty-fifth.

Just from the ranking, you can see the difference in the status of the two people's families.

But here's the problem.

How could there be two heads of the Pangula family here in the Suman Islands?

The fifth-in-line heir said in the letter that he was responsible for the Pangula family's land and mineral resources in the Suman Islands.

The same is true of the twenty-fifth heir

This.

What's going on??

Li Nuo felt that things were a little strange, and even suspected that the second letter was fake, but immediately dismissed this idea.

Forging letters didn't do Nelly any good, she wouldn't do it.

Leno thought for a moment and threw deconstruction at the second letter.

He expended some energy and got the information on the letter's panel.

Well, it was indeed written by the butler of the twenty-fifth heir in line to the throne of the Pangula family. The letter is genuine. It seems that there is something incongruous within the Pangula family, so here in the Suman Islands, there are two managers who deal with land resources and mineral resources. ”

Li Nuo sensed a hint of family infighting.

Thinking about it again, it is not difficult to see how big the gap between the fifth and twenty-fifth heirs is.

The fifth heir found him through Jennara. This shows that the heir is well-informed and has his own channels of information in areas other than the land and minerals field.

The twenty-fifth heir is much inferior, he only paid attention to Li Nuo because of the purchase and sale of the island, and the letter did not praise Li Nuo for catching criminals and completing the bounty mission.

The gap between these is enough to illustrate the gap in the comprehensive strength of the two.

"Oh, I didn't expect that. Before I could decide which family advisor I wanted to be, I had to consider the side of the two heads of the Pangula family. ”

Li Nuo couldn't stop sighing in his heart:

"Sure enough, when it comes to human interaction, things get a lot more troublesome."
