212. Crisp and sharp

The most powerful person in the entire manor spoke, and those present had no choice but to follow her orders.

Selena is both a Nine-Ring Deep Sea Wizard and the Vice President of the Deep Sea Branch.

Since she is the vice president, it means that as long as she gives an order, the Deep Sea Branch will send someone to help.

Under the watchful eyes of the visitors at the scene, and in the "excited" and trembling expression of Master Dikla Fagan, Selena used letters and magic messengers to contact the Deep Sea Branch, and summoned a group of deep sea wizards ranging from the third to the fifth ring from the inner circle.

They requisitioned the garden of Master Fagan and improvised a magical octagonal cage for the duels of the Extraordinary in front of the palatial manor building.

Blessed are tonight's visitors. Come to such a trip, not only can you eat melons, but you can also enjoy the duel of life and death, which is simply bloody.

The magic octagon was quickly erected.

The wizards of the deep kept the scene in order, and Selena stood on the second-floor terrace as the moderator, and the crowd of onlookers filled the grass around the magic octagon.

After a brief and intense trance, Master Fagan returned to the manor building and whispered to his butler.

After all, their master and servant are local hosts, and they still have a bit of face.

Selena gave them ten minutes to prepare.

When the time comes, the butler Heramat will either appear in person or assign a battle wizard to fight in his place.

Just as Li Nuo expected, after discussing with Fagan and the others, Helamat sent a demon wizard with the strength of the four rings to fight.

Seeing this, Li Nuo smiled secretly in his heart, bowed to Selena on the terrace on the second floor, and said:

"Ms. Selena, I request to increase the chips in the duel. If I win, I hope Fagan can transfer the contractual rights of this demon wizard to me. ”

Fagan stood on another terrace a few meters away from Selena, angrily slapping the stone fence and shouting:

"What if you lose! You vile ring wizard! If you lose, you'll have to be my slave! Not only will I take your life, but I will enslave your soul for fifty years, nay, a hundred years! ”

"It's a word, Fagan." Li Nuo looked at each other with a faint smile.

The presence of his old god annoyed Fagan even more. The eldest young master scolded one after another, obviously breaking the work.

Selena folded her hands in her lower abdomen, her dark blue liquid robe flowing slowly.

She looked at Li Nuo and Helamat who were standing outside the magic octagonal cage and said:

"I endorse the stakes in this life-and-death duel. It was witnessed by me and all the visitors at the site. Open the magic octagonal cage, activate the protective circle of the magic fence, conduct a pre-battle check, and prepare for a life-and-death duel. ”

The Wizard of the Deep Sea pulls open the two fence doors of the Enchanted Octagonal Cage.

Leno and the Demon Wizard are examined by the Wizard of the Deep Sea, who once again confirms that they meet all the requirements to participate in a duel to the death.

This is done by using a detection spell on both sides of the duel.

The more critical detection spell is the "Wizard Level Detection", which creates a magical glow on the target. Based on the color of the light, the wizard level of the target can be determined.

As a wizard of the First Ring, Li Nuo's magical glow is gray.

The Demon Wizard who fights in place of the Fake Butler has a magical glow that is the green of the Wizard of the Four Rings.

After confirming that the dueling parties met all the requirements of the duel rules, Li Nuo and the others entered the dueling ring through the fence gates on both sides of the octagonal cage.

The imposter stood outside the magic octagonal cage, facing Li Nuo face to face.

This guy's face was gloomy, obviously resentful of Li Nuo for disrupting his plan.

However, there was no timidity on his face.

When he invited Li Nuo to come to the manor, he learned about the other party's origin and strength.

He knew very well that behind Li Nuo was the "Silent Girl".

Let's not discuss why Li Nuo, a male witch, joined the wizarding force of all witches, just from Li Nuo's efficient completion of bounty tasks and wanted warrants, the fake butler felt that Li Nuo was so efficient with the help of the mysterious magic props given by Professor Erica.

Including Li Nuo's identification of an anomaly in the contract box, including Li Nuo's recognition of his identity as a spy, these are all mysterious props provided by Professor Erica to help Li Nuo.

The fake butler speculated that the mysterious props held by Li Nuo were likely to be detection magic props, and they were the kind of props whose energy fluctuations were extremely weak and difficult to be detected by himself, the wizard of the Four Rings.

As for Li Nuo's method of killing the wanted criminal, the fake butler boiled down to the spell-breaking effect of the Silent Mana.

As a unique male witch in the "Silent Girl", Li Nuo must have something special in the use of the magic of silence, which is why he will be accepted as a member by Professor Erica.

That's what the fake butler thinks in his heart.

Everything goes to Professor Erica.

Without Professor Erica's secret help, Li Nuo would be an ordinary one-link combat wizard at best.

If you send a four-ring demon spirit wizard to fight on your behalf, you should be able to defeat Li Nuo.

But the question is, why does Li Nuo look like he is nine out of ten, and he also offers to increase the stakes...

Thinking of this, the fake butler always felt that things were full of weirdness, and he never understood what Li Nuo's confidence was in facing the four-ring demon spirit wizard.

Li Nuo responded to the gaze of the fake butler with an indifferent and playful gaze.

He used deconstruction to look at the four-ring demon wizard who was about to fight him.

The higher the level, the more types of magical energy the wizard can control, and the more powerful the Shaping spell becomes.

The four-ring demon wizard in front of him has mastered fire magic, thunder magic, earth magic, and water magic.

Unlike elemental wizards who rely on "elemental reactions" to deal damage, sculptor wizards rely more on "spell combinations" to create control effects and output damage.

Fire magic's "Fireball" + Earth magic's "Mud Technique" = Fire Magic's "Sticky Fireball".

The effect of the "Sticky Fireball" is similar to that of a sticky grenade, which can be glued to the magic shield, making it impossible for wizards to avoid it, and they can only resist damage.

Thunder Magic's "Electric Shock" + Earth Magic's "Stone Shield" = Thunder Magic's "Electric Stone Shield", which is a stone shield that automatically releases electric shocks to the source of damage.

Li Nuo used deconstruction to get the list of his opponent's spells, and he was dazzled by the long list of spell names.

For such an enemy who has mastered a large number of spells, Li Nuo has only one word:

Second.

Knock each other out in seconds.

The other party must not be given a chance to exert the effect of the "spell combination", otherwise the person who will be bombarded by the spell will be him Li Nuo.

After inspecting the dueling arena, the Wizard of the Deep closed the fence gate and nodded to Selena on the terrace.

The fake butler took a step forward, put his face on the fence net, looked up at Li Nuo, who was locked in the cage, and whispered viciously:

"Die, miscellaneous."

Li Nuo sneered at him, "It's coming to you soon, don't worry." ”

The fake butler snorted coldly and took a step back.

Selena said on the terrace:

Both sides raised their hands to signal that they were ready.

Li Nuo raised his right arm, and so did the Demon Wizard.

"Both sides are in place." Selena paused for a second and announced:

"The duel begins!"

"Buzz !!!!"

"Boom !!!!!"

"Bang la la la..."

Li Nuo didn't use his wand to cast spells this time.

He instead pointed ten fingers forward.

Every one of his fingertips was glowing black!

Countless black rays converged into a torrent of spells raging in the octagonal cage, the scene was disturbed by the stormy air current, everyone's clothes were blown by the sudden spell torrent, and the black spell light stained the audience's dull faces black.

In less than 1 second, every inch of space in the octagon cage was occupied by furious black rays, and there was not the slightest gap.

The fear and tremor of the energy of death struck everyone's hearts through the magical fence.

The Demon Wizard who faced this furious energy didn't even cast a counterattack spell, and the moment the black rays devoured her body, it exploded, scattered into countless tiny crystals and sputtered on the fence net.

Li Nuo had the intention of sparing the life of this demon wizard.

He stopped in time at the moment when the passive deconstruction reached 100% completion.

The black rays vanished inside the octagonal cage.

Only Li Nuo stood still.

His opponent had been reduced to a cloud of crystal slag, and a feeble soul suspended in the air and trembling.

The scene was silent and absolutely silent.

The fake butler still had an expression of waiting to see a good show on his face, and the next second he was stunned by the terrifying scene in front of him, and his face instantly turned as white as wax paper.

He suddenly came back to his senses, waved his arms, and roared loudly with all his might:

"I protest! I protest!

"Leno Jarvis is not a wizard at all!! I protest!! He's the Five Rings! No! He's the Battle Wizard of the Six Rings! He's cheating!! ”

"No, he's a wizard." Selena didn't shout loudly, but her voice easily overpowered the noisy imposter butler:

"Keeping that butler under control and leaving it to Leno Jarvis is a requirement of Decree 1."

The Wizard of the Deep Sea, who was guarding either side of the imposter butler, grabbed the impostor's shoulder blades.

Layers of spell chains made of crystal clear waters bind the imposter butler.

The impostor was terrified and yelled at Fagan, begging for help.

Feigan, who was standing on the terrace, clung to the fence and stared at Li Nuo in the octagonal cage, deaf to the butler's pleas for help.

Li Nuo reached into the magic pouch and took out a small piece of the soul-absorbing crystal and threw it to the demon spirit wizard who only had his soul left.

The Spirit Sucking Crystal hovered in the air, and the soul of the Demon Spirit Wizard eagerly drew soul energy from the Spirit Sucking Crystal.

With her movements, the crystal fragments scattered on the ground slowly floated off the ground, reconverging into a complete energy body with the crisp sound of crystal collisions, protecting the soul of the demon wizard.

That's what makes the Demon Wizard unique.

As long as their souls are still alive, they can reshape their energy bodies by absorbing soul energy.

What looked like a crystal shard was actually the crystallization of the energy of a demon wizard. The crystal shell woven from energy crystals is equivalent to the magic robe of an ordinary wizard.

At this time, the demon wizard had already recovered his mind.

To be precise, when she was on the verge of death due to the furious black rays, her mind and wisdom were forcibly unsealed by the guardian contract.

She was a little confused about her situation, and she didn't quite know what was going on in front of her.

Her rhinestone-like eyes were blurry.

This is where the Guardian Log recorded in the Guardian Contract comes in handy.

But she needed a little time to read the guardian log before she could figure out what was going on.

Seeing that she was fine, Li Nuo took back the spirit absorbing crystal that had some soul strength left, and turned his head to look at the deep sea wizard guarding the door:

"Please open the door."

The deep sea wizard came back to his senses with a shudder, looked towards Selena, and after seeing the other party nodding, he unlocked and opened the fence door of the octagonal cage.

Li Nuo walked out of the magic octagonal cage and said loudly as he walked slowly towards the fake butler:

"I defeated the Demon Wizard who fought in place of the Darktide Spy. According to the terms of Decree No. 1, the lives of the Demon Wizard and the Darktide Spy will be mine. Fagan and I have a bet in advance, the demon wizard in the octagon cage can continue to live, and I will be her contractor. And you, Darktide Spy, you have only one way to die. ”

Every time Li Nuo took a step forward, the audience couldn't help but retreat.

By the time he stood in front of the fake butler, a large open space had been vacated around the other party.

Lino's approach and Fagan's silence became the straw that crushed the imposter butler.

The imposter butler, who was still constantly asking Fagan for help, fell into an eerie calm at this time.

His body, bound by spell chains, was not struggling or writhing.

"Ho-ho-ho-ho..."The fake butler sneered coldly.

A large number of scales appeared on his face, and the smell of fishy sea water permeated the air, causing the people around him to retreat again and again.

His body swelled, and the spell chains exploded with a thud, spilling into water stains on the ground.

The two deep sea wizards who cast spell chains were suddenly attacked by the spell backlash, their faces turned pale, and they staggered back a few steps.

The face of the impostor turned into an inverted triangular snake head, and the elongated black tongue crossed between the sharp teeth.

His head was covered in dark green scales, a pair of short horns on the top of his head, his eyes were a terrible amber color, and his pupils resembled the vertical pupils of a viper.

Dark green scales spread from his skull to his limbs, and the size of the scales changed dramatically wherever they passed.

In less than 10 seconds, the imposter butler who had the appearance of a human was transformed into a veritable deep sea sirenβ€”an evil sea folk with a head, horns, scales, and arms, with a human-like upper body and a venomous snake-like lower body.

"You don't dare to kill me, idiot. I planted toxin bombs in Suman City, and only I know where they are..."

The Dark Tide spy taunted Li Nuo in a hoarse and sinister tone.

He thought he could threaten Li Nuo with a bomb.

He was doomed to disappointment.

"Buzz!!"

The black rays resemble a raging python, biting the body of the Dark Tide spy in one bite.

"How dare you..."The Darktide Spy cried out in disbelief, his voice shrill and piercing.

"Boom!" Before the Darktide Spy could finish his sentence, his head was blown off by a black lightning bolt, which exploded his torso, tore the snake's tail, and scattered into sewage and pieces of minced meat.

The wizard of the deep haul, who maintained order, hurriedly summoned a curtain of water to block the filth that was about to fall on the heads of the audience.

Li Nuo unfolded the magic shield on his body, forming an oval shield shell to keep the filth out of his body.

He swept away the corpse of the Darktide Spy, and with the "Wizard's Hand", picked up a few small items mixed in with the pieces of minced meat, and took out a separate metal box and placed it inside.

Li Nuo turned his head, nodded at Selena, who was looking at him, and shook the metal box in his hand.

Selena tapped her chin imperceptibly, comprehending what Li Nuo meant.

But before she could announce the end of the duel, Li Nuo took out the application order for the duel of life and death first, and said while writing the words "Wizard's Hand":

"Tonight's duel is not over, folks. I'm going to start a couple of new life-and-death duels next. ”

There was a lot of discussion on the spot.

"Another couple of life-and-death duels..."

"Is he crazy?"

"It's going to offend Fagan to death..."

"Is he a wizard or not... Why is there such an astonishing destructive power..."

"It's supposed to be because of the extraordinary properties... I've heard that wizards with "magical mastery" are as unreasonable as he is..."

Li Nuo doesn't care about the opinions of others.

He went through the memories of the Darktide spy in his mind, and found a number of people who worked closely with the other party.

Among the key figures, in addition to the family advisor Simon, there are several other family advisors, as well as the owner of the estate, Dikla Fagan.

In fact, Dikla Fagan's pursuit of Selena was advised by the Darktide Spy.

Fagan has reached a secret cooperation with the Dire Sail Pirate State, he is responsible for pulling Selena into the water, and the Dread Sail Pirate State provides him with the specific location and reserves of the undersea veins.

You must know that the deeper the mineral deposits of this world are buried, and the longer they are immersed in the deep sea, the stronger their magical properties in all aspects, and the more valuable they will be.

These undersea veins provided by the Terrorist Sail Pirate State, even if Dikra Fagan does not dig them up and resell them directly, he can reap a net profit of no less than 500 million gold coins.

This wealth is enough for him to compete with the first heir in the next selection of the family's heir.

The Dark Tide spy acts as a bridge between Dikla Fagan and the Terror, and has transferred a lot of things on behalf of both parties.

This guy went through everything he handled.

Letters, magic items, dragon inscriptions, contracts, etc., these absolutely secret and important things are all presented in the memory fragments.

Leno also discovers some little secrets about Selena and learns the reason why the other party is dating Fagan.

But that's not the point for the time being.

The point is that Dikla Fagan's collusion with the hostile forces of Unas Ring to fear the Sail Pirate State is a sure thing.

He already has the potential to become a criminal of the sin level wizard.

But the problem is that Li Nuo can't take him down in a life-and-death duel.

As the fifth in line to the family line, Dikla Fagan is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but he has reached the level of the wizard of the Seven Rings.

This kind of wizard who has relied on a huge supply of magic elixir and magic power all the way has no combat power to speak of, but there are quite a few combat wizards under his command who can fight on their behalf.

Li Nuo shouted before that he wanted to investigate and challenge the other party, but he was just engaging in the other party's mentality, and he would not challenge the other party with a life-and-death duel like he did with a fake butler.

Otherwise, the enemy he would have to face would be the Seven-Ring Demon Spirit Wizard. This magic wizard was Fagan's personal magic teacher.

In the case of Li Nuo not using the hole cards, he only has the share of the opponent's second, and there is no possibility of the opponent's second.

In addition to the Seven-Ring Demon Spirit Wizard, Fagan may also have family guards by his side, which are ballast-like characters who will not appear easily.

Li Nuo used the "hand of the wizard" to write several application orders for life and death duels.

His dueling was against several of Fagan's family advisors.

The application order was held in the air by the "Wizard's Hand" and displayed to the surrounding audience, and it also made Selena and Fagan in the open air on the second floor look clear.

Fagan clenched the railing, his fingers white, his lips pursed tightly.

The curly brown hair, which had been neatly groomed, was now soaked with sweat and was pressing against the door of his head, reflecting the light of the water stains.

Fagan knew what was wrong with the family advisors that Li Nuo was going to challenge, and he knew better what kind of people those family advisors were.

They are a bunch of mercenary guys who willingly serve anyone as long as they use money and benefits as a temptation.

Fagan is using the interests of this group to provide a helper for his cooperation with the Sail Pirate State that can be abandoned at any time.

When the cooperation is successful, the mission of these guys will be accomplished.

Fagan would instruct the Demon Wizard and the Clan's Secret Guard to put the finishing touches on their "unfortunate discovery of the undersea deposits through unremitting efforts."

The family advisor challenged by Leno Jarvis will die one day, but not now, let alone at the hands of Leno Jarvis.

Everything was messed up by Leno Jarvis. I hate him! … Fagan's eyes swelled with rage, and he slammed the railing hard, a suppressed roar of anger in his throat.

Something worse than that made him worse had happened.

Those family advisors who were named by Li Nuo actually raised their hands and shouted after making eye contact with each other:

"Mr. Jarvis! I throw in the towel! ”

"That's right! I throw in the towel! It's you who wins! ”

"No more dueling! You win! ”

"Raise your hand, Mr. Jarvis!"

"We are willing to trade intelligence for our lives!"

Surrender and lose half, the common rule in the wizarding world. At the same time, it is also the duel rules written in Decree No. 1.

Doing one thing unconditionally for the winner is what the one who admits defeat or defeat in a duel must do.

Li Nuo's original intention was to kill the race gate first, and then expand the results in the name of a life-and-death duel, and get more energy and loot rewards...

Now it seems that he is going to pay the price for his greed.

The matter of initiating a life-and-death duel against multiple family advisors in one breath had too great and too fierce impact on the people with evil intentions, so that they broke their psychological defenses at once, and they were willing to take the initiative to confess their collusion with the Dark Tide spies.

At this point, it is not appropriate for Li Nuo to force the other party into the octagonal cage.

He decided to change the program.

He first loudly announced that he had accepted the admission of defeat from the dueling object, then pinched the application order in his hand, shook the manuscript in his hand towards Selena, and gave a "you know" look from a distance of tens of meters.

Selena nodded slightly, turning her head to look at the dejected Fagan.

Since the family advisor voluntarily admitted defeat, Fagan's face turned gray and his eyes entered a state of distraction.

Not only Selena noticed Fagan's abnormality, but everyone at the scene noticed his appearance as if he had lost his soul.

Reminiscent of what Li Nuo said before the duel, the question of "whether Master Fagan really conspired with the Dark Tide spies" became the hottest topic among onlookers.

Then it is how to divide with Young Master Fagan so as not to set himself on fire and attract the investigation of the law enforcement wizards and the Deep Sea Branch.

Some of the visitors were not close to Fagan and did not have to worry about being implicated. They put their minds on inquiring about Li Nuo's origins, and gradually learned about Li Nuo's deeds in the past half a month.
