Suman Islands, Inner Circle, Deep Sea Branch, Selena's Study.

This place is not so much a study as a vast magic laboratory.

The castle of the Deep Sea Branch is built on a mountain about a kilometer above sea level, with three main towers and more than a dozen secondary towers.

Selena's study sits atop one of the main towers, with its hemispherical stone dome, wide windows, spacious balconies, and bright and gentle magic chandeliers.

Above the dark blue carpet inside the house, a few meters above the ground, more than a dozen spherical miniature oceans with a diameter of more than one meter were suspended.

The miniature ocean looks like a large balloon of water, with ripples on the surface and light black fish shadows swimming underneath the surface.

Beneath the sea of miniatures, Selena closed her eyes and half-lay on the soft sofa, her head propped up with her right hand, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Across from her, Leno is using "Psychic Indoctrination" to teach her the dragon inscription deconstructed from the Darktide Spy.

This inscription totals more than 6,000 words, all written in dragon runes.

On the basis of having reached a flawless soul contract with Selena, Li Nuo intimately provided translation services for the other party, saving the other party the trouble of translating dragon runes in painstaking meditation.

The process of imparting knowledge through "spiritual indoctrination" is relatively long.

It took about half an hour for Li Nuo to complete the transmission of the dragon inscription.

He kept the spell cast while mentally counting his harvest for the night.

The first is the covert knowledge about "spellcasting permissions".

The "Promotion Fortress" that Li Nuo discussed with Selena before came from Selena's memory fragments.

The "Promoted Fortress" did exist, and this part of the content can be proved by the historical documents of the dragon clan.

Today, the "Fortress of Promotion" has disappeared from this world. High-level wizards like Selena speculate that the Spinner Continent is the remnants of the "Promotion Fortress".

They also believe that the disappearance of the "Promotion Fortress" is only the loss of its material form, and the entire "Promotion Fortress" exists in this world in a mysterious and unpredictable form.

The rules for accessing each floor of the "Promotion Fortress" have been preserved along with the magical knowledge within the fortress.

This speculation is "a conclusion based on the phenomenon backwards."

High-level wizards base this theory on:

Wizards who have not reached the Seven Rings cannot cast high-level spells.

To be precise:

Wizards who have not cultivated meditation methods to the level of the Seven Rings cannot cast high-level spells.

The meditation method is the access to the various levels of the "Promotion Fortress".

The number of rings of meditation that you have cultivated will allow you to access the number of layers of the "Promotion Fortress".

Wizards who are less than the seventh ring do not have access to the seventh layer of the "Promotion Fortress", so they cannot mobilize the magical knowledge in it to cast high-level spells.

Regarding this speculation, the professors have done some very abstract experiments.

The threshold for serving as a professor is the Seven Rings.

They use two different ways to empower their students to use high-level spells.

The first way:

The professor draws up a temporary magic contract, making himself the person who lends the spell Party A and the borrower of the spell Party B.

He wrote in the magic contract: "I lend Party B the right to use such and such a spell, and Party B pays me how much magic power before each use".

Magical contracts written in this format can take effect normally, and Party B temporarily obtains the right to use high-level spells.

In the second way of writing, the professor has modified some of the wording.

He wrote:

I lend Party B access to the seventh layer of the "Promotion Fortress" in relation to a certain high-level spell, and Party B needs to pay me how much magic each time he visits.

In this form of magic contract, there is no mention of "the right to use high-level spells", only "access to specific spells on the seventh floor of the "Promotion Fortress".

Can this magical contract work?

The answer is that it works, and the effect is exactly the same as the first type of magic contract, no different.

The professors changed their wording again, using words such as "stones", "flowers", "Hottamus", "Cahill Continent", etc., in place of the second magical contract "Ascend to the Fortress". For example, "I lend Party B access to the seventh layer of Leper Dog in relation to so-and-so's high-level spells."

With this wording, the magic contract did not take effect.

This shows that the wizard's spell casting authority comes from the "Promotion Fortress". This secret is only known to wizards with seven rings and above, and it is not widely circulated.

But...where is the "promotion fortress"?

I don't know.

It's gone.

It has lost its physical form and exists in the world in a strange form, always restricting the ability of wizards to cast spells and acquire magical knowledge, becoming a kind of existence similar to the "rules of the world".

But that didn't stop the wizards from collecting all the dragon manuscripts thrown out of the Spin Continent and delving into the access to the "Promoted Fortress".

Li Nuo is also curious about the "promotion fortress".

Considering that the wizard speculated that the Spin Continent was suspected to be the remains of the "Promotion Fortress", he decided to find an opportunity to take a look at the rumored Spin Continent, and along the way, dig out the dragon treasure in the Blue Hole.

Putting aside the "Promotion Fortress" for the time being, Li Nuo turned over tonight's system news.

The Demon Wizard who played in place of the Imposter was named Eve Mastin.

After completing her passive deconstruction, Li Nuo received a 61,000 Energy bonus and a +1 level of "Shaping Magic", which is now level 8.

When Li Nuo duel with her, he innovatively used ten fingers as a medium for spellcasting. This is the method of spell casting that he has figured out after mastering the "mastery of magic control".

Li Nuo couldn't do this kind of operation before, but after becoming familiar with the way magic energy flows in his body, he can already accurately arrange the route of magic energy.

Over time, when he counts his fingers and toes, he can cast 20 "Two Fingers of Death" at the same time.

Of course, the picture of casting spells with the tips of his toes is too "beautiful", and Li Nuo has no plans to do so for the time being.

After defeating Eve Mastin, he gave the Darktide Spy seconds and received 156,000 energy points as a reward.

In addition to this energy value, questions such as "where did the Darktide spy bury the toxin bomb" and "Why did the Darktide Spy choose Fagan as a partner", Li Nuo also found the answer in the other party's memory fragments.

The soul contract reached between Li Nuo and Selena contains the content of the contract for the transfer of this part of the information.

As the price of gaining knowledge and intelligence, Selena will have to endorse all of Li Nuo's lawful actions in the days to come. Not to mention waving the flag and shouting, standing on the sidelines and calling, she must at least show her support for Li Nuo in writing.

In this way, Li Nuo can blame Selena for all the sources of unknown information. Correspondingly, Selena must strictly guard all of Li Nuo's secrets and properly handle all doubts according to the requirements of the soul contract.

It can be said that with this contract, Li Nuo can only spend time in the Suman Islands reasonably and legally in the future.

As long as he doesn't violate the laws of the Unas Ring, he can drive at full speed, step on the accelerator to the end, go crazy, and get what he wants in all efficient and legal ways, without any worries at all.

This kind of life has always been what Li Nuo wanted. Thanks to the dignified and elegant Ms. Selena for helping him realize this dream.

After Li Nuo checked tonight's system message, he clicked on his personal panel again.

[Soul Strength] 4102

[Energy] 221233/72(40+32)

[Energy Reserve] 120,000 points

At the banquet, he ate and drank the sea, ate magic dishes, and gained 120,000 energy points.

Passive deconstruction of Eve Mastin got more than 60,000.

Passive deconstruction of the Dark Tide Spy, got nearly 160,000 energy points.

Before entering the reception room and meeting with the fake butler, he used the magic gadgets in his magic pocket to obtain energy points, and the energy reserve was reduced. This part of the energy was used by him to deconstruct the Six-Ring Demon Spirit Wizard.

When deconstructing Selena on the magic car, he consumed more than 100,000 energy points.

The amount of soul debris collected from the corpses of the Darktide Spy is approximately 140 points.

When drawing up the soul contract, more than three hundred soul strength points were consumed.

Adds the "Soul Sense" function to the Soul Contract, which consumes 1,000 Soul Strength.

The range of "Soul Sense" is related to the "Spirit" attribute value of both parties to the contract, and the higher value of "Spirit" between the two is calculated.

Selena's "spirit" is 299 points, so the "soul induction" range between Li Nuo and her is 309 kilometers, that is, 299 kilometers plus 10 kilometers of "soul induction".

Judging from the energy value inventory, Li Nuo has entered a state of energy value explosion and a slight shortage of reserves.

He is urgently needed to use the "Metal Fusion" meditation method to convert energy points into basic attributes.

Speaking of meditation, Li Nuo suddenly remembered something.

His success tonight is inseparable from his identity as a "one-ring wizard".

In other words, it is inseparable from the loopholes in the decree of the Unas ring.

According to the existing rules, Li Nuo's "spirit" is 40 points, and when it is detected with a spell, it will reflect 40 points of light. He's a standard wizard.

But if it is divided according to the actual combat strength, then he is undoubtedly close to the existence of the six-ring battle wizard.

It is this kind of hierarchy in the sense of the law, and the mismatch between the real combat strength, that creates an opportunity for Li Nuo to borrow the "duel of life and death" to exploit the loophole.

If one day, Unas Ring revised the content of Decree No. 1 and changed the rules of "life and death duel" from "high-ring wizards cannot challenge low-ring wizards" to "high-combat wizards cannot challenge low-combat wizards", then Li Nuo will not be able to exploit loopholes.

But Li Nuo estimated that it would be difficult for Unas Ring to make such a change.

Because the combat effectiveness of a wizard is difficult to measure.

This world is not a game world after all, and there is no such thing as "combat power 5".

So, Li Nuo summed up that he can continue to exploit loopholes within the foreseeable future.

As a wizard of the first ring, he uses the name of a duel to the death to punish those who are in fact wizard criminals, or to kill enemies lurking among normal humans.

As long as the decree is not changed, his act of "flipping the table" can continue.

It is very simple to control the ring level in one ring, and it is enough to not practice meditation methods that will increase the "spirit".

What Li Nuo cares about is how to make himself have the strength of a ten-ring battle wizard without increasing his "spirit".

The level 100 "Two Fingers of Death" does not provide enough combat power, and even if he uses his fingers and toes to cast this spell, it is at most comparable to that of the Six Rings Battle Wizard.

With the skill level locked at level 100, Li Nuo had to find another way.

Li Nuo thought about it for a moment and decided to find time tomorrow to ask Professor Erica. It would be great if she had real data on the magic power of the Ten Rings Wizard.

In addition, he felt that it was necessary for him to use his brain to lower the threshold for the production of the meta-reactor, which could directly provide him with a huge amount of thunder and lightning energy and strengthen his combat effectiveness.

Building a meta-reactor wasn't his only option.

After spending a lot of energy, he might be able to create even more magic with "Energy Shaping".

For example, put death energy and water elemental energy together and use "Shaping Energy" on both of them.

In any case, if Li Nuo wants to improve his combat power while maintaining the level of one ring, he definitely needs a huge amount of energy value.

As a result, Li Nuo began to think about how to deconstruct the "sea area" and pocket the hundreds of millions of energy points.

Time spent in his "spiritual indoctrination", and all sorts of strange ideas came to his mind.

After about 30 minutes, the "indoctrination" ends.

Li Nuo breathed a long sigh of relief, stopped casting the spell, and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

Selena muttered, opened her eyes, and took a moment to reminisce about the dragon inscription and translation in her mind, and then looked at Li Nuo, who was sitting opposite.

"Thank you." Selena's tone was sincere, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she felt that the wizard in front of her was full of mystery:

"I admire your psychic prowess. I'm almost obsessed with the dragon runes and translations you gave me... Can I learn anything else from you in the future? ”

李诺 says:

"When the time is right, it will, Selena. As long as you can help me keep my secrets as instructed in the soul contract, I think we'll meet in this study often. ”

"Okay..."Selena tapped her chin, her eyes welling with anticipation, and asked again:

"Who are you? Jarvis. Does your companion witch, Dinas, know what makes you unique? ”

"I'm not special, Selena. There are many "hidden wizards" like me who have traveled all over the world. Li Nuo brought out the wording he had already concocted:

"The difference between me and them is that I care more about order, and I know how to use order legally to get what I want, and by the way, to save some lonely and helpless souls from the brink of danger. Dinas knew what made me unique, and she chose to trust me unconditionally. I hope you do the same, just treat me as a trustworthy person, and don't ask me where I came from. You've probably heard of the name of a hidden wizard, right? ”

Li Nuo smiled and weaved the knowledge he gained from the other party's memory fragments into his own origin on the spot and told it to the other party.

Li Nuo can be sure that this kind of current learning, current use, and current wording is enough to make Selena convinced of his origin.

With the identity of a hidden wizard, Li Nuo is able to explain many, many things.

Sure enough, just as Li Nuo expected, Selena nodded slowly after listening to Li Nuo's words, and accepted this statement logically.

"Yes, I am aware of the existence of hidden wizards, who are said to live farther east of the Unas Ring. They are far more knowledgeable and wise than the wizards and grey wizards of the Unas Ring...

"I didn't think that made much sense, because no one had ever seen a real hidden wizard. But I've changed my mind now. The Hidden Wizard is indeed a powerful and mysterious being. ”

Li Nuo looked at the night sky outside the house:

"Alright, Selena, that's all for today. In front of outsiders, you are still my immediate boss, and I am still the law enforcement wizard who has been instructed by you to use the information and magic items you provide to efficiently complete all kinds of bounty missions and wanted warrants. ”

"Okay, I'll send you out." Selena's liquid skirt smoothing her back buttocks stood up.

Li Nuo shook his hand and said:

"No, Selena, I'll just go out by myself. I have some more things to do tonight. I'm going to take Dinas to the stone house in the inner circle that I rented, and then set up some little things in the inner circle to welcome 'guests'..."

Li Nuo said as he walked to the stairwell connected to the study.

Before opening the wooden door of the stairwell, he turned his head, looked at Selena who was following him, and admonished again:

"Don't show your attention to me in front of outsiders."

"Yes, I understand. I will act strictly according to the soul contract. ”

Selena bowed to Li Nuo, who was decades younger than herself.

Her eyes were inexplicably slightly red, and there was an obvious choking in her voice:

"Again... Thank you again for your help to me. I almost tried to get the Ten Rings Stage meditation method... became the wife of a criminal..."

Li Nuo nodded slightly, opened the door, and left the place, leaving behind the sound of joyful weeping.

Walking down the spiral staircase, Li Nuo suddenly laughed dumbly.

Hey, don't really say it, the hidden wizard information deconstructed from Selena is really useful.

Moreover, the matter of fooling people into signing a soul contract with him in the future has basically formed a fixed routine.

Identify the shamans who have endured hardships in order to gain secret knowledge, and determine whether their character and outlook are in line with their own requirements.

Then, use deconstruction to pinpoint their true needs, and use psychic magic to immunize the ability to backlash to hit their hearts.

Then, use the identity of a hidden wizard to explain his origins, create a mysterious and erudite image, and then reach a soul contract with the other party.

With such a set of processes, Li Nuo is enough to reach soul contracts with one powerful wizard after another.

Li Nuo rubbed his chin, wondering if he should ask Selena to borrow some money and forcibly rush the "Metal Fusion" meditation method.

After thinking about it again, Li Nuo smiled self-deprecatingly.

Forget it.

As soon as he reached a soul contract of reciprocity and mutual assistance with others, he turned his head and asked the other party to borrow 1.8 million, Li Nuo always had a feeling that he was defrauding in the name of the person he was talking to...

Besides, he is not short of money now.

What he lacks is hundreds of millions of energy points.

There is no need to let your image in Selena's mind be greatly discounted for some small money.

The top priority is to gain energy as soon as possible, create spells and meta-reactors with "Shaping Energy", and improve your combat effectiveness.

Looking back on his experience in the manor tonight, Li Nuo slowed down a little, his eyes became deep, and he secretly said in his heart:

"Dikla Fagan's family guard is not easy. Let's not mention that he originally had the strength of the Eight Rings Battle Wizard. He killed those family advisors in front of Selena, which is enough to show that he is an unscrupulous person who has not achieved his goal.

"Selena is the vice president, and the family guards dare not touch her. But for a law enforcement wizard like me, there is no reason for the family guards to be afraid of me. Even if I use Selena's name to protect myself, this guy will definitely use insidious means against me.

"There is a 100% chance that the family guards will get rid of me, it's just a matter of time.

"If you don't kill me, then everyone else will follow suit and step on the head of the Pangula family in the same way.

"In order to make an example of the monkeys, the family guards must kill me. In that case, the house I asked Dinas to buy in the inner circle will come in handy..."
