Will tonight's events get Li Nuo in trouble?

For example, the hostility from the Pangula family, the hatred from the Young Master Fagan, and the hatred from the Sail Pirate Nation.

Yes.

But Li Nuo believes that as long as his strength improves fast enough, then trouble will not be able to catch up with him.

As for whether the onlookers' evaluation of him was positive or not, Li Nuo didn't even plan to listen to it. Because he deeply knows that in this world, a person's reputation depends on his comprehensive strength.

When Li Nuo is strong enough in the future, everything that happens today will naturally become a widely circulated legend, and he can't listen to and correct others' evaluations of himself before he is strong.

Of course, all this is premised on compliance with the law and the most basic moral principles.

If a person is powerful and full of evil, then no matter how much the world is afraid of that person's obscenity, they will not give a positive evaluation.

As for how to survive in the next series of retaliation incidents when the strength is still insufficient, Li Nuo knows that some mental tricks and means are indispensable.

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Selena on the terrace, and quietly started the next part of the plan.

He performs a "Death Flight" and lands on the terrace where Selena is.

He took out the loot left behind by the Darktide spy after his death from his magic pocket, handed it to Selena along with the life-and-death duel application order in his hand, and said without blushing and heartbeat:

"Thankfully, Ms. Selena. Following your instructions and the Wanted Warrant, I have succeeded in uncovering the spy planted by the Terrorist Pirate Nation around the fifth heir to the Pangula family. With your intelligence as a guide, I have been able to identify the Darktide Spy disguised as a butler and the family advisor who is secretly linked to the Darktide Spy through intensive reconnaissance work. I would have liked to interrogate those family advisors in a duel to the death, but since they have conceded defeat, I will hand over the power to interrogate them to you and the Deep Sea Branch. ”

When Li Nuo said this, Master Fagan was losing his mind on the terrace next door.

Fagan turned his head stiffly, his lips squirmed, and he raised his trembling finger to point at Selena, his eyes full of disbelief, and even slipped under his feet, almost falling to the ground.

The servants who stood by his side held him up and leaned against the fence of the terrace.

"You... You, you, you... You're taking advantage of my love for you..."Fagan was like a man betrayed by love, his face was pale and tears were streaming from his eyes.

"Don't be delusional, Fagan." Leno paced a few steps, skirted Selena, and stood between the two, obscuring Fagan's vision.

He raised his voice to make sure that visitors to the site could hear:

"Lady Selena is the Vice President of the Deep Sea Branch, the Nine-Ring Deep Sea Wizard, and those who pursue her can be lined up from the inner circle of the Suman Islands to the Snow Mountains. You're just the heir of a family who has been seduced by the Darktide spy, not even the top three, so what qualifications do you have to get the love of Lady Selena. If it weren't for the investigation of your shady affair with the Sail Pirate Nation, Ms. Selena would have ventured into the danger herself to obtain first-hand information. ”

Li Nuo looked back at Selena behind him.

This lady, like a queen, has always maintained an elegant and dignified posture.

She gave Li Nuo a look with a hint of inexplicable fluctuations, and then spoke:

"Fagan, fulfill the stakes of a duel to the death. Transfer the contract rights of the Demon Wizard who fought in place of the Darktide Spy to Jarvis. ”

Li Nuo bowed slightly towards Selena, and everything was silent.

Judging from Fagan's crying performance, his feelings for Selena are real, and he does believe that the other party is in love with him.

After Li Nuo broke Selena's intention to contact him, Fagan fell into a state of despair, unable to speak, and only leaned on the railing and wept.

Fagan didn't react to Selena's order to hand over the contract, just staring into the distance with his eyes distracted.

At this time, there was a change on the terrace where Fagan was located.

A figure emerges from the creeping of the terrace walls.

Li Nuo stepped on his feet, and quietly moved behind Selena when everyone's attention was attracted by this sudden figure.

The corners of Selena's mouth twitched slightly. From an angle that others couldn't detect, she threw a roll of her eyes at Li Nuo, who had moved to her side...

Li Nuo was calm and composed, and he didn't see Selena's little eyes.

"Young Master Fagan is overworked tonight and needs to rest." The figure that appeared on the terrace ordered the servants around him, his tone was flat:

"Send the young master to the bedroom, and I'll take over here."

"Yes, sir." The valets stooped down and lifted the muddy Fagan off the terrace.

No one stood in the way of his orders, and Selena remained inactive.

Li Nuo carefully looked at the uninvited guests on the terrace, who were none other than the family guards hiding beside Fagan.

This role is usually filled by a cousin of the heir of the family and is very strong in combat.

The man in front of him is no exception.

He was about forty or fifty years old, with short gray hair faintly visible under the brim of a black sharp-horned wizard's hat.

He was wearing a dark brown magic robe, with no special ornaments on his body, and he looked very plain.

The information fed back by the Deconstruction Technique tells Li Nuo that this is an eight-ring battle wizard. Theoretically, he already has the ability to kill Li Nuo in seconds.

He tilted his chin slightly, revealing an ordinary face, and shot a scrutinizing gaze from under the brim of his hat, looking up and down at Li Nuo, who was standing behind Selena's side.

He raised his right hand, fingertips slicing through the air.

Li Nuo was unscathed, but the few family advisors who betrayed Fagan were pierced from bottom to top by lightning-fast rock and soil spikes.

Before they could scream, the thorns erupted into intense, short waves of geo-magic, and in an instant, they were transformed into terrified and painful clay sculptures.

When the evening breeze blows, the clay sculptures quickly crack and collapse, and the clods of earth are scattered all over the ground, and then absorbed by the floor of the terrace, leaving no traces.

Killing people and destroying corpses and traces are done in one go, without dragging mud and water.

The family guard did it all casually in front of Selena.

He reached into his cuff, took out a crystal and placed it on the fence of the terrace, bent slightly towards Selena, and disappeared into the wall.

Selena took the crystal with a ribbon and handed it to Lenovo:

"This is the contract carrier of the Guardian Spirit. If you and the Soul Wizard hold this crystal at the same time, you will be able to sign a new Guardian Contract. Don't leave alone after signing the contract, come with me to the academy. ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Li Nuo thanked him and flew towards the demon wizard who walked out of the magic octagonal cage with the crystal.

The demon wizard had just been beaten half to death by Li Nuo, and was barely recovering from his serious injuries at the moment.

She knew what was happening tonight through the journal recorded in the guardianship contract.

Unlike ordinary wizards, she did not show resentment or anything like that in the face of Li Nuo, who almost killed her.

She observed the surrounding scene with the eyes of a bystander, full of coldness, as if the people and things around her were just bubbles to her.

Facing Li Nuo, who was holding the contract carrier, she stretched out her arm, held the other party's right hand and crystal, and said in a calm voice:

"You have 15 years left in the deed in your hand. Once the contract is in effect, please give me an order in accordance with the rules in the contract. Breaking the command of the covenant will awaken my heart and wisdom. If the contract is repeatedly violated, the contractual relationship between us will be automatically terminated. If I need to awaken my heart during this time, please follow the instructions in the contract. The same is true for the termination of the contractual relationship and the change of guardians. If there is no objection, please infuse the crystal with soul energy. ”

Li Nuo channeled soul energy into the crystal in his hand.

The crystal burned and vibrated slightly, then subsided, becoming as cold as ice.

Also losing the temperature was the eyes of the demon wizard.

As the contract took effect, the only expression on her face vanished, and she entered a stunned state of stupor.

At the moment when the contract was concluded, Li Nuo received a message from the crystal and the system at the same time.

The Crystal's message was a whisper ringing in the ears of some of the spells that the Contractor would be aware of.

System messages are things like crystal's panel information, so it's not a good time to take a closer look.

Li Nuo made out the whisper in his ear and found a spell that conveyed the command:

"Buconda, Isiri."

The empty-eyed demon wizard flashed with light, and the whole person flew into the crystal in Li Nuo's hand like a rolled carpet.

Li Nuo nodded slowly, and put the crystal into the pocket of his magic robe.

After the family guard took over the manor, he transferred another butler from the island responsible for the production of daily necessities, and asked him to properly handle the scene, send off the guests, and close the manor.

The guests who watched the show were approached by the servants, signed a magic contract not to reveal tonight's affairs, and accepted the hush money.

After the wizards of the deep sea dismantled the magic octagonal cage, they also signed this contract.

Li Nuo also signed the contract. However, it was not the servant and the butler who asked him to sign it, but Selena put the contract in front of him, glared slightly, and forced him to sign it.

Li Nuo was very interested, did not resist, left his signature in a slippery manner, and took away the hush money of 10,000 gold coins due to him.

After about 20 minutes, the crowd dispersed, and those who should fly away flew away, and those who should take the boat boarded.

Li Nuo originally planned to use the "Death Flight" to follow Selena to the inner circle, but who knew that the other party named him to board the magic car of the academy before leaving.

Li Nuo followed, facing each other and sat in the rear compartment with two rows of seats.

The magic car starts with the control of the magic servants, and glides smoothly through the night sky.

Selena sat diagonally opposite Li Nuo with her arms folded, one slender leg crossed, and the dark blue liquid robe on her body rippled.

She stared at Li Nuo for two or three seconds, and sighed softly:

"I'll admit you're clever, Jarvis, but you're bold tonight. I know you guessed I was deliberately approaching Fagan, but you should have discussed it with me first, either way. ”

Leno asked:

"Excuse me, what should I discuss with you first?"

"Discuss your actions tonight." Selena responded.

"So, if I had consulted with you first, would I have been able to do this tonight?" Li Nuo asked again.

Selena paused for half a second:

"I can't."

"Yes, no. So I didn't consult with you. Li Nuo nodded indifferently:

"It was because of enough surprises that we killed the Darktide Spy, got the key evidence on him, we found out the family advisor who was in touch with the Darktide Spy, dug up the evidence of Fagan's crimes, witnessed the crime of destroying the corpse of the family secret guards and obstructing law enforcement, and found the place where the Darktide Spy set up the toxin bomb. Compared to these gains, the cost we invested tonight is nothing. ”

"I don't deny tonight's takeaway, Jarvis." Selena took a deep breath and said:

"But you should always think about your future, right? You are indeed the greatest contributor to tonight, but you have also offended the Pangula family to death. Families like Pangula are more concerned about reputation and influence than the loss of mineral deposits. We should take a more dignified approach to dealing with Dikla Fagan's collusion with the Sails. ”

Li Nuo writes:

"The manner in which you speak, including the trial of Dikla Fagan? I am talking about the trial of it in the form required by the decree of the Unas ring. It can be enforced by any law enforcement wizard force, including but not limited to the "Silent Maiden" and the Pure Light Court. Under Decree No. 3, which regulates the actions of wizarding families, Dikra Fagan faces at least 20 years in prison. Will this be how he ends up? Madam"

Selena was silent for a moment:

Ideally, he would accept the punishment he deserved.

Li Nuo's words:

"That is, under normal circumstances, he can be exempt from culpability, right?"

Selena crossed her arms and looked out the window at the sea:

"Yes."

"I guess that's where our differences lie, ma'am." Li Nuo leaned back in the soft car seat.

He set his eyes on Selena, staring at the other party's beautiful side face and white neck, and threw out one deconstruction technique after another, and the results of the deconstruction came to mind.

Li Nuo read the results and thought thoughtfully.

He clapped his hands and said in a heartfelt tone:

"Thank you for protecting me, ma'am."

Selena tapped her chin, glanced at Li Nuo, and then turned her head out the window:

"It's for Erica's sake that I did this. Don't be so impulsive next time. ”

"Okay, I take your advice." Li Nuo took out a slender piece of handmade rope from his magic pocket.

While wrapping the handmade rope with his hands and fixing it into a specific shape, he said:

"You know, ma'am, before I arrived in the Suman Islands, I was always curious about the professor's authorization to use high-level spells. As someone who knows magic, it's hard for me to understand that I need permission to cast a spell.

"After I came to the Suman Islands, I spent a lot of time researching the dragon treasures thrown out of the Flying Continent, and I communicated with my fellow believers, and I heard some news that sounded quite credible."

"Hmm." Selena snorted perfunctorily.

Li Nuo continued to weave the knots in his hands:

"Before the beginning of this era, this world was controlled by the dragons. The dragons are an extraordinary race with a strict hierarchy. In order to firmly control the power of magic, the dragons have created a world wonder called the "Promoted Fortress".

"The Promoted Fort occupies a vast area and towers into the sky, resembling a tower. It is divided into ten floors from bottom to top, each of which is the size of ten human cities. The fortress is home to an ocean of magical knowledge. According to the use of magical knowledge, the dragons have divided different knowledge storage areas on each level. The higher the number of layers, the greater the power of magical knowledge.

"The magical knowledge in the Ascended Fortress exists in a mysterious form. Rumor has it that it comes from an even older era. But no matter what, it can't change one fact:

"That is, only with the permission to enter the higher floors of the "Promotion Fortress" can you learn the magic knowledge in it, and then control more powerful magic. Have you heard anything about that, ma'am? ”

"Yes, there is such a saying." Selena replied coldly.

Li Nuo finished the manual work, looking at the knots he had braided.

He was not disgusted by Selena's coldness, but continued:

"As far as I know, the Promoted Fortress has been destroyed in the Doomsday Havoc. But the magical knowledge in it has been passed down and wandered through this world in an inexplicable form. Some people think that the act of us sorcerers inventing spells is actually a 'discovery' rather than an 'invention'. All spells existed long before they were 'invented' by wizards, and we wizards were just 'discoverers'.

"The magical knowledge of casting spells comes from the "Ascending Fortress" that has lost its physical form. The magical knowledge has not only been completely preserved from the apocalypse, but has also inherited the 'reading permission' that the dragons have imposed on it. Only those who meet the 'reading requirements' can obtain 'reading permission', and then create spells in bursts of inspiration, or learn spells in sudden enlightenment.

"Do you agree with that, ma'am?"

Li Nuo sat up straight, holding the knot in his hand, and looked at Selena with a smile.

Selena tapped her chin:

"Partially agreed."

Well, partially agreed. Li Nuo knew that this was the answer, because what he had just dictated was extracted from the other party's memory fragments.

As for the knot he was holding in his hand now...

李诺 says:

"I found a very interesting dragon motif, but I never understood what it meant. In return for protecting me, I give you this pattern. ”

"No, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in dragon patterns." Selena looked out the window and replied without looking back.

"You'll be interested." With a flick of his wrist, Li Nuo threw the knot into the air and used the "wizard's hand" to bring it to the other party.

Selena wanted to sweep the knot away with her hand, but her eyes inadvertently touched the knot, and her delicate body shook like an electric shock:

"It's... It's..."

Selena's fingers trembled slightly, her knots pinched her fingertips, and her eyes couldn't stop flashing.

"As you can see, it's a dragon rune, ma'am. It is said to direct a person to access to the "Ascend to the Fortress" level. I'm not sure if that's true. Li Nuo said.

"Where did you find this dragon rune?" Selena pinched the knot, her voice trembling with excitement.

Li Nuo looked at her calmly and replied:

"Selena, you and I both know in our hearts that if it weren't for my actions tonight, you would have agreed to Dikla Fagan's marriage proposal, and you would have been his wife. You've known he's working with Diaphore..."

Linuo's words surprised Selena.

Apparently Li Nuo has revealed the deepest secret of her heart.

Her right hand that was holding the knot clicked, trying to restrain the surprise in her heart.

Li Nuo glanced at the "hatred value" of the "Source of Reincarnation Magic Power", it did not rise, and he was quite accurate in his own view, Selena did not use the intention of killing.

In that case, use the memories deconstructed from the Darktide spy to forge a solid partnership with Selena.

Thanks to the Darktide Spy for keeping a close eye on everything he does.

The dragon inscription that appears in the memory of the Darktide Spy is something Fagan used to lure Selena into marrying him.

And the content recorded on these inscriptions is the cultivation content of Selena's meditation method "Surging Tides" in the Ten Rings stage.

Without this content guidance, Selena and other deep sea wizards would never be able to advance to the Ten Rings.

It can be said that if Li Nuo hadn't tossed Fagan tonight, then Selena would have sacrificed herself for the future of the Deep Sea Branch and married Fagan, who was many years younger than herself, in exchange for the cultivation content of the Ten Rings Stage of the "Surging Tides".

Such a person is soft and tough in her heart, even if she was "misunderstood" by Li Nuo before, she will put her grievances and secrets in her heart and bear them silently.

Selena met all the criteria for Li Nuo to screen for cooperation.

Li Nuo smiled gently:

"The reason why you are willing to become Fagan's wife is because of those dragon inscriptions in the hands of Dire Fan.

"Don't let yourself get lost in the pursuit of magical powers, ma'am.

"Fagan has it, I have it, and I don't need you to offer me purity, I will teach it to you.

"But... Power comes at a price.

"You must make a soul pact with me. The content of the contract is simple. During my stay in the Suman Islands, you have protected me from all my lawful deeds, kept all my secrets, and I have shown you the way to the Ten Rings of the Witch of the Depths.

"You can share the content of the meditation method recorded in the dragon inscription with your colleagues, but only with my consent."

Li Nuo took a breath and gave Selena, who was deep in thought, a little time to think:

"So, do you want to make a soul pact with me?"

Selena opened her right hand, and the knot in her hand was twisted and deformed.

She pursed her full lips and looked up at Li Nuo:

"Where did you come from?" Dragon's Legacy"? ”

"Nope." Li Nuo shook his head slightly, activated "telepathy", and brought a critical blow to Selena's mind:

"I am an observer looking down on the path of the extraordinary, a phantom of the extraordinary, the ultimate buyer of all the extraordinary results (Note (1)). I will only appear in the presence of noble, dignified, knowledge-hungry souls. You're in luck, ma'am. I admire your courage in sacrificing yourself for the future of the College. You are eligible to enter into a soul contract with me. ”

Selena's pupils contracted suddenly!

The voice of the heart that suddenly sounded in Selena's heart shook her deeply.

For her, a nine-ring wizard, it is inevitable to wear protective psychic protective props for a long time.

She grabbed her collar and clenched the magic pendant buried beneath her robe.

The cold pendant didn't move in the slightest.

"It's unbelievable that your psychic magic has penetrated my defenses... If you cast any other mind spell on me—" Selena shuddered, unable to imagine the "mind control" in her body.

"Shhhh

Selena immediately stopped the words from her mouth.

She bit her lip and nodded.

The magic car was silent, and the two of them had a deep communication with their eyes and hearts.
