210. Active dementia
Li Nuo pressed one hand on the metal box, but did not pick it up.
At the same time as this action, Li Nuo launched a harmless deconstruction of the metal box, and spent 1800 energy points to obtain a small portion of the panel information.
After scanning the solution results as quickly as possible, Li Nuo couldn't help but feel glad that he didn't immediately put the metal box into the magic pocket.
This thing is actually a poisonous bomb that can burst out of the "Kraken Plague Viroid"!
With Li Nuo's "tenacity" attribute value of up to 19 points, he has an 80% chance of being transformed into a Kraken on the spot, not to mention the others.
The bastard fake butler actually shoved this stuff to me... Li Nuo's heart trembled, but with an apologetic smile on his face, he shook his right wrist and pushed the metal box back:
"I'm sorry, Helamat. I can't accept this contract. β
"Oh? Why is that? Mr. Jarvis. Are you dissatisfied with the many things I just mentioned? The imposter glanced at the metal box on the table, picked it up as usual, and put it back in the drawer.
The psychological quality of the fake butler was on par with Li Nuo, and there was no fluctuation on his face when the toxin bomb was accidentally returned.
Li Nuo played smoothly, always looking at the fake butler with a calm and slightly apologetic facial expression.
He pondered his words for a moment, stood up, and said:
"The matter involves important news about the Channar family, please forgive me for not being able to reveal more, I am out of company."
After speaking, Li Nuo walked to the door, reached out and pulled the door open, and walked out of the reception room guarded by two demon wizards.
Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to throw the deconstruction spell at the Demon Wizard to complete the first action objective of the night.
Li Nuo's sudden departure was unexpected by the fake butler.
After the door closed, the fake butler lowered his head slightly, tapped his fingertips on the tabletop, his eyes flickered, and he fell into a rapid thought.
The expression on his face gradually darkened, and a hint of fierceness appeared in his eyes.
The two demon wizards standing behind him were indifferent to the change in his expressions, and just stood there stunned, like two glittering crystal sculptures.
After about half a minute, the imposter restrained the coldness of his face and raised his hand to brush the waxed hair.
He picked up the rattle on the table and called out to the servants who were guarding the door.
"Go get the next visitor." The impostor said to the respectful manservant:
"Also, go and inform Simon advisors that visitor Leno Jarvis has been placed on the list of suspicious visitors. Be sure to keep an eye on Leno Jarvis before he leaves the estate. If necessary, the Spirit Wizard can be used to intervene and detain him. β
"Yes, sir." The valet leaves the room.
But in less than 10 seconds, the manservant returned.
"My lord, I haven't been able to bring your message to Advisor Simon, so Advisor Simon asked me to inform you as soon as possible that the visitor, Leno Jarvis, has left the island."
"He's gone?! So fast? The imposter was stunned, as if he had not expected that Li Nuo would leave the manor and the island directly after leaving the reception room.
"Yes, sir." Servant says:
"Advisor Simon asked me to ask you if the visitor, Leno Jarvis, had committed a theft on the manor, and if he needed to send a demon wizard to escort him back to the manor?"
The fake butler knew that the "theft" and "escort back to the manor" mentioned by the Simon consultant were actually two synonyms.
This was something he had agreed with the other party in advance.
Asking "whether Lenor Jarvis committed the theft" is asking "Did Leno Jarvis take the toxin bomb disguised as a contract box".
And the sentence "whether to escort Leno Jarvis back to the manor" is actually asking the housekeeper "whether to detonate the toxin bomb, transform Leno Jarvis into a kraken, and then kill him in the name of eliminating the kraken".
If Leno Jarvis did take the deed box away, the imposter would have replied "Yes, Leno Jarvis committed the theft, and we need to escort him back to the manor as soon as possible".
But unfortunately, Leno Jarvis refused the contract box for some reason, and he did not bring the toxin bomb with him.
The fake butler could only frown, try to maintain a normal tone, and instructed the manservant in front of him:
"Go and tell the Simon advisors that Leno Jarvis didn't steal the estate's valuables."
"Yes, sir." The manservant turned and left.
The fake butler clenched his fists, knocked down the table with a bang, and scolded viciously:
"Damn, what went wrong... Why would he suddenly refuse the contract box?! Or even leave the manor without saying a word?! What the hell is going on? β
β¦
β¦
On the surface of the sea in the inner ring.
Li Nuo casts the "Death Flight" and flies alone in the air.
"Selena really did a bad thing with good intentions. If she hadn't mentioned me in front of Dikra Fagan, I wouldn't have met the imposter so sooner, and I wouldn't have had access to the toxin bomb disguised as a contract box. β
Li Nuo shook his head and sighed:
"However, Selena kept her word and did not reveal the secret that I had "everything knows" to Dikla Fagan. Otherwise, I don't think I even need a three-month probationary period to be able to serve as Dikla Fagan's family advisor. After all, the extraordinary characteristic of "everything knows" is not boasting.
"If someone asks me in the future why he decisively rejected the contract box taken out by the fake butler, I can simply use the sentence 'I know everything' and pull Selena out as a proof, then everything will make sense."
Leno looked back at the brightly lit island, his gaze lingering for a moment on the glittering manor building.
He was sure that the imposter must have been troubled by his sudden departure.
This unexpected trick was not something that Li Nuo came up with with a pat on the head, but a decision he made based on the results of the solution.
Before leaving the reception room, he mobilized 160,000 energy points to launch a deconstruction spell on the six-ring demon wizard in the room.
The deconstruction was instantly 100% complete, and Li Nuo learned all the secrets about the Demon Wizard.

γFeaturesγ
1. Energy Body Creatures:
The Demon Wizard was originally a human. In the wizard student stage, their bodies will gradually transform into energy bodies composed of souls and energy in the process of cultivating the "Magical Spirit" meditation method. The moment they step into the Four Rings, they will completely abandon their flesh and blood and transform into energy creatures.
2. Energy Immortality:
The Demon Wizard has attained immortality in the truest sense of the word. As long as there is enough energy in the body, they will not die. At the same time, with just a glimmer of soul and energy left, they can be reborn through Shaping Magic.
3. Guardian Contract
The guardian contract between the Demon Wizard and the contractor will continuously provide them with the soul energy necessary for cultivation and survival. In order to obtain soul energy, the demon wizard must strictly carry out all orders of the contractor within the scope of the contract.
4. Selective dementia
The process of guarding the Contractor is boring and tedious.
While the guardian contract is in effect, the Demon Wizard will close his mind, actively lose his ability to perceive the outside world and time, and voluntarily lose all wisdom.
All their actions will be carried out according to the contract, including attacking, defending, self-rescue, rebirth, forcibly awakening the mind, etc.
For them, fulfilling the contract is like closing their eyes and falling asleep.
When the contract ends, their hearts will be revived. They will read the protection process recorded in the contract and enjoy the rich rewards that come with the contract.
According to Unas Ring Decrees 2 and 6, all actions done by the Demon Wizard while the contract is in force will not be held accountable by the Wizard Law Enforcement Department. All responsibility will be borne by the Soul Wizard's contractor.
β¦
"Selective dementia" was the key to Lenovo's sudden decision to leave the manor.
This kind of emotionless killing weapon during the validity of the contract will only mechanically carry out the orders of the contractor.
As long as these orders are within the scope of the contract, then the demon wizard who temporarily closes his mind and loses his mind must carry it out unconditionally.
The first time Li Nuo saw this feature, he empathized.
From the perspective of the evil of human nature, he quickly thought about it from the perspective of a fake butler, and found more than a dozen plans to use the guardian contract and legal loopholes to instruct the demon wizard to take down his suspicious visitor.
In other words, as long as the fake butler decides to take action to clear the trouble, then Li Nuo will definitely be forcibly detained in the manor by the demon wizard. What happened after this was beyond his control. Because the number of demon wizards in the manor, at least 10, this is far from a situation that he can handle.
Li Nuo, as a man with the word "stability" at the head, will never put the direction of development on the attitude of others.
He decisively chose to slip away!
Now looking back at the brightly lit manor, it is clearly a Longtan tiger's den dressed in a drunken gold fan.
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes and noticed from a distance that several figures flew out of the manor, flying in the direction he was.
The guys wandered around the sky, seemingly looking for someone or something. When they noticed that Li Nuo's figure was several kilometers away from the sea, the group gathered together and said something, and then flew back to the manor.
Li Nuo threw a deconstruction technique at the gang, expended some energy points, and obtained the recent memory fragments of the other party and others.
Glancing at the contents of the memory fragments, Li Nuo was both relieved that he had escaped the catastrophe, and shocked by the methods of the fake supervisor and the family advisor named Simon.
Simon advisor who appears in the memory clip, Li Nuo knows who he is.
It was a death wizard in a black magic robe, clubbed in the corner of the porch on the second floor.
When Li Nuo went upstairs, he spent some energy deconstructing him.
Judging from the results of the solution, Simon is a Death Wizard of the Five Rings, a battle wizard from the Death Sorting House of Hottams. The system predicts that its combat level will be 55.
The two of them, the fake supervisor and Simon, are really good at playing.
If Li Nuo left the manor with a toxin bomb disguised as a contract box, the bomb would be detonated three to five kilometers away from the manor.
He will be transformed into a scale-covered Kraken by a poison bomb on the spot, and then killed on the spot by Simon and the Demon Wizard as an enemy.
There may be a lot of loopholes in this plan, but Li Nuo believes that with the tricks of the fake butler and the name of his owner, Dikla Fagan, it is absolutely easy for the other party and others to remove the hidden dangers of the whole incident in advance.
"It's a good thing I got that time bomb back, otherwise tonight might not have been handled as it is now."
Li Nuo continued to fly in thought, and at the same time brought up the content of the deconstructed demon wizard to view.
In addition to the standardized panel information for the "Six-Ring Demon Wizard", he also gained a lot of experience with the "Shaping Magic" skill.
This skill is directly upgraded to level 7.
The prediction scheme of the meta-reactor has changed, the energy requirements of various elements have become more precise, and the success rate of the scheme has increased from 5% to 7%.
Judging from the change in the success rate, after reaching level 100 of "Shaping Magic", the success rate of the scheme will reach 100%.
Li Nuo closed the system interface in his mind and calmed down to find the next countermeasure.
The "Hatred Rating" on the "Rebirth Magic Potential" increased again and again, and did not decrease as he left the manor.
This means that the fake butlers are still plotting insidious schemes.
In this case, Li Nuo plans to kill this guy tonight, just to use the topic to play and grab more loot.
Li Nuo flew towards Suman City and landed on the edge of the city.
Flying spells cannot be used in Suman City.
Li Nuo got into a magic taxi, took out a pen and paper in the car, and wrote a letter to his bounty agent, Jenara, and agreed to meet him in the island department as soon as possible.
The time is around 8 p.m. Jennara left work at 6 p.m.
Under the pretext of discovering an emergency, Li Nuo called her out of her residence and met her in the office of the agent of the Ministry of Island Affairs.
If others let Jennara do this, then she would definitely think of a way to prevaricate and refuse to work overtime, but in the face of Li Nuo's proposal, Jennara was more longing in her heart. No way, Li Nuo's feat of doing 25 tasks in a week before left a deep impression on her and brought her a lot of wealth.
The two met at the door of the office and stepped into it together.
Jennara used the "wizard's hand" to boil water to make tea, and Li Nuo asked directly:
"How much does it cost to kill a Darktide Spy?"
"Huh? What? "Jennara is fiddling with the tea leaves. As soon as she heard Li Nuo's words, she shook her fingers in surprise and spilled the tea leaves out of the jar.
"I mean, if I take out a Darktide Spy, how much will we both get in total? The Darktide spy doesn't have a wanted warrant on his head, and I don't quite know how much he's worth. Leno asked.
Jennara reacted, her pupils dilated slightly, she took a deep breath, and said as she cleaned up the tea leaves on the table:
"Hmm... The total bounty is 500,000 gold by default. Only by capturing him alive can you get the full bounty. If you only bring corpses, you will receive up to 20% of the bounty. If he has mastered the method of "soul separation" and is not completely dead, then you will only get 5% of the bounty. β
After answering Li Nuo's question, Jennara asked:
"Where did you find traces of the Darktide Spy? Why haven't I received any news? β
"Darktide spies are called spies, so they know how to hide themselves, Jenara. If they were so easy to spot, they wouldn't be worthy of being called Dark Tide spies. β
Li Nuo took the fragrant tea and said:
"You would never have imagined that the Dark Tide spy was hiding in Dikla Fagan's estate, and that you were still communicating with him."
"How is this possible" Jennara lost her mind for half a second, then raised her hand to cover her mouth, and exclaimed:
"Oh my God, the Dark Tide spy you're talking about can't be Helamat, Fagan's welcome butler, right?"
"Yes." Li Nuo sat down on the chair, took a sip of the teacup, and admired the other party's surprised appearance.
Jennara didn't quite believe what Li Nuo said, and there were too many doubts in her heart. She sat down in her seat and asked Li Nuo for the ins and outs.
When she heard that Li Nuo could see that there was something wrong with the contract box at a glance, as Li Nuo expected, Jennara gave a very puzzled look.
Li Nuo said calmly that Selena, who was a guest in the manor, knew the answer, and if Jennara wanted to know the reason, she could ask Selena.
Faced with the mysterious Li Nuo, Jennara gave up the plan to ask further, and instead thought about the question "What if what Li Nuo said is true, what should I do next".
Without her grabbing her hair and feeling a headache, Li Nuo directly gave the answer she had in mind:
"We have two options now, Jenara. The first option is to inform Selena and ask her to take the Darktide Spy under control, and Selena herself will cast a spell to remove the Darktide Spy's disguise. β
"It can't be, Jarvis." Jennara frowned, folded her arms, shook her head, and said:
"Let's not say whether or not you can believe that the contract box was disguised by a toxin bomb, but even if that were the case, we can't rely on a toxin bomb alone to conclude that the Welcome Butler is a Darktide spy. Perhaps, he was just a butler who was instructed or coerced by the Dark Tide spies. The Darktide Spy is someone else, and he may not even be in the manor.
"With all due respect, your judgment is too arbitrary. I don't quite agree with it. And I'm confused as to how you can tell if there's a Dark Tide spy on the estate. How do you know so sure you have a Darktide spy on the manor? β
Li Nuo smiled and said:
"So, I've prepared another plan, Jenara. According to Unas Ring Decree No. 1, I, as a Ring Wizard, can fight to the death against extraordinary beings who are no less than my own level. β
Jenara's breath stagnated, and after a full two seconds, she said:
"Duel to the death!? That's how you came up with it?! β
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded, knocked on the table and said:
"Please give me a few orders for a duel to the death. The welcome butler is a figure with a head and a face, and I still want to let him walk decently. I will torture him in a duel to the death and make him confess his accomplices. If there are other ill-intentioned goods in Fagan's manor, I am ready to use a life-and-death duel. β
Jennara swallowed hard and stared at Li Nuo tightly:
"You're not kidding, are you?"
"Certainly not kidding." Li Nuo said solemnly:
"That butler will die tonight. The special application order for a duel to the death can help me do just that. β
