Dinas teleports back to the stone house to rest.

In Selena's study, Li Nuo and Selena sat on opposite sides of the desk, discussing matters together.

"I'm impressed with the way you handle Latifah's soul." Selena bent her arms on the table, supported her chin with the back of her hand, and stared at Li Nuo with a pair of beautiful eyes:

"I thought you would resurrect Latifa and then tell the truth to her and convince her to accept the fact that her contractor was a scumbag. I really didn't expect you to choose to let Latifah leave in the state of his best memory. ”

Li Nuo picked up the teacup and blew off the white heat on the water:

"Maybe it's me who challenged the determination and conviction of the Fagan family to make you think I'm an idealist, bigoted, extreme, and willingly carry out whatever I think is righteous, with no regard for the feelings of others.

"Actually, I'm not the one who messes around for the sake of justice, Selena."

Li Nuo took a sip of hot tea to moisturize his tired body. The fragrance of tea flowed in his mouth, washing away his tiredness and making him feel a little refreshed.

He put down his teacup and continued:

"My true thought is that the wicked will be punished, and the good will be punished. The first half of the sentence can be regarded as bringing chaos back to order, and the second half of the sentence is a little bit of selfishness. Because many times, what I think of as a 'good death' may not be what good people want. But I think that in the case of Latifa alone, it is a practice that you, me, Dinas and Latifa herself approve of, for her to die peacefully in that beautiful moment. Are you right? ”

Selena groaned and said:

"I, well, I agree with your approach. This should be the best ending for Latifah, although it is incomplete, but it is the happiest. ”

"Let this pass, don't let it take up too much time, we still have business to deal with." Li Nuo sat up straight and rested his arms on the armrests:

"It's a fact that Dikra Fagan colluded with the Sail Pirate Nation and the Demon Brain Nation. In the Unas Ring, it is not enough for us to know the facts, we must have solid evidence before we can apply to the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department for a special investigation order. But as you know, the laws of the Unas Ring are full of loopholes, and the extraordinary strength of individuals and the secret contracts between individuals can always override them. We followed the normal process, and there was no way that Dikla Fagan would be sent to a cell in the Department of Law Enforcement. I have a question now, Selena. ”

"Are you trying to ask me what I'm going to do with Dikra Fagan?" Selena asked.

"Nope." Li Nuo shook his head slightly:

"I want to ask, has there been a situation here in Suman Islands where the wizarding family has secretly colluded with the enemies of the Unas Ring? If so, how did you deal with it? ”

Selena sighed a little helplessly:

"Well, Jarvis, it's going on and on. You might think I'm weak as a vice-dean, but the truth is that I can only call for help from the Ministry of Magic and Wizarding Law Enforcement when a crisis erupts. Before the crisis erupted, I was unable to initiate an investigation, even if I had some clues. Because these clues, under the influence of extraordinary power, can turn into unverifiable lies and deceptions at any time. ”

"So, you've been playing the role of an aftermath, right? Since there are too many loopholes in the laws of the Unas Ring, and the individual power is too strong, you can't intervene in the pre-event and mid-event stages. Li Nuo said.

"Yes. There's no way around it, Jarvis. Hotamus and the Pure Light Court, the two wizarding forces that worship the most order in the Unas Ring, once proposed a bill to 'strengthen the authority of the magical inquisition' at the Witch Chiefs' Council. If this bill is passed, then the exclusive investigative rights against the wizarding family will be issued by the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department to the hands of the Deep Sea Branch, a magical inquisition that integrates research, learning, and trial functions. ”

Selena spread her hands and said:

But in the end, the bill was rejected, and 70 percent of the voters voted against. The prevailing objection is that it is possible for a magical inquisition in a particular region to abuse its privileged investigative powers against wizarding families in order to gain unfair benefits. This will greatly expand the influence of Hotamus and the Pure Light Court, and squeeze the living space of other wizarding forces. At a time when the influence of Hotamus and the Pure Light Court is already large enough, there is basically no possibility of such a bill passing. ”

Li Nuo did not express any views on matters involving the parliament and bills.

He just needs to know that he has mastered the ability to "flip the table".

"I'm going to make Dikra Fagan and his family guards disappear forever." Li Nuo said calmly.

Selena shook her head slightly, trying to persuade:

"Killing doesn't solve the problem.

"I admit that you are strong enough for you to have such a plan. But getting rid of Dikla Fagan and the family guard who killed us in front of us will only make the stronger, more sophisticated, and more vicious guys appear in the Suman Islands. We might as well keep Dikra Fagan and clip off his wings to limit his range of motion. Only in this way can we control the contradictions within our tolerance. ”

Li Nuo looked at Selena's beautiful face, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled:

"I found the two of us to be the perfect theatre partner. I wield a stick and threaten the enemy, and you act as a peacemaker to make the enemy surrender. As long as we cooperate well, one sings a good black face and the other sings a good red face, then basically all the wizarding families with bad intentions will be much more restrained. ”

"Blackface? Red-faced? Selena faced the unfamiliar words, thought for a while, combined with the context, and understood the meaning:

"Ah, yes, I think so too. Your presence has given me the confidence to deal with people like Dikla Fagan, and has won more voice and bargaining chips.

"Take Festa's death, for example, it was enough to set a wake-up call for Dikla Fagan. If I were his and his family's secret guard, I would have converged a lot in the coming period. ”

Li Nuo raised his hand, gently rubbed his chin, and said with a smile:

"What if they don't relent, but get even worse, Selena. What should you do if this happens? In the end, don't you have to let me get rid of them? ”

Selena folded her arms and held up the full moon:

"They're going to converge, Jarvis, trust me.

"The existence of this wizard family for so many years is not only due to the power of magic, but also to the sleekness and agility of the world. When they find that things are going further than they expected, they don't take a more aggressive approach, but instead retreat below the surface, look at their opponents, get to the bottom of the enemy, and wait for the time to strike again.

"During this period, they will keep a low profile, waiting for the last six months or a year before they provoke new incidents."

Selena says:

"I confess that I was shocked and even a little uneasy when you got rid of Festa. But I'm calming down now and thinking carefully about the implications of this matter. I think that within seven days of my representation, Dikla Fagan will send me a letter admitting his mistake and giving in, and a free donation of gold to the College in exchange for our forgiveness. ”

Leno asked:

"Oh? What if you don't receive a letter or donation after seven days? ”

Selena shook her head:

"That shouldn't be the case."

Li Nuo snapped his fingers:

"I'll ask it another way, Selena. The letters and donations you receive only represent Dikla Fagan's attitude towards you, not his attitude towards me.

"Have you ever thought about such a situation. Dikla Fagan wouldn't dare do anything to you because of the Deep Sea Chambers and Hortamus, but he didn't intend to let a wizard like me go.

"Have you forgotten? He orchestrated the assassination of me, knowing that I had a close relationship with you, and that I was a co-ordinator appointed by you.

"You said it yourself, and with what you know about Dikla Fagan, he won't give up. How is it that when you return to this study, you turn from pessimistic to optimistic about his future actions? ”

Weak.

Wavering.

Positions are confused.

Leno saw these shortcomings in Selena.

But that's not her to blame.

In other words, if someone else sits in her place, she will also make a decision similar to "the big picture is important" based on overall consideration. And Li Nuo's experience, personal ability and appeal are just a bargaining chip for Selena and Dikla Fagan, not the "big picture" in her eyes.

Li Nuo suddenly understood the weaknesses in Selena's humanity and pointed out the problems of the other party.

Facing Li Nuo's questioning, Selena stroked her forehead and sighed:

"Jarvis, I'm not going to let your assassination happen again, trust me. In my reply to Dikla Fagan, I would emphasize that you are a wizard of law enforcement. ”

李诺 says:

"According to the soul contract between us, paragraph 1, article 5, you cannot interfere with my actions and provide cover for my lawful actions to the extent that what I do is in accordance with the decree of the Unas Ring. Remember this? ”

"Yes, I remember. If you really want to get rid of Dikla Fagan and his family guards, I can only help you. Selena covered her forehead, distressed.

"That's it, Selena." Li Nuo thought for a while and said:

"Considering that you are responsible for the power of wizards in the Suman Islands, and I am not a person who acts recklessly on the soul contract, I am willing to make some concessions."

"What?"

Selena looked at Li Nuo, her eyes flashing with hope.

It would be better if the other side was willing to give in and not get rid of Dikla Fagan and the family guard.

Li Nuo recalled Festa's memories in his mind, picked out a few important numbers from them, and said:

"Didn't you say that Dikla Fagan would donate a sum of gold to the Deep Sea Chambers to gain your forgiveness? That's good, as long as this gold coin is not less than 7.9 million, I will let him go. ”

"7.9 million!?" Selena was stunned for a moment:

"Are you serious?"

"What? Do you think the lives of Dikra Fagan and his family's secret guards are not worth 7.9 million? Li Nuo sneered and said:

"Oh, that's life-buying money. If he can't get it, I'll have to take his life. If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't have given him a respite. ”

Selena took a slight breath, and the full moon rose and fell obviously:

"Okay. Well, I'll explain it to him in the letter. ”

"Then I'll leave this matter to you." 李诺 says:

"I am 'in awe' for your magnanimity, Selena. Dikla Fagan is secretly in collusion with the Dreadsail Pirate Nation to coerce you into submission to him with dragon inscriptions. For such a person, you will actually communicate with the other person in person. You're really big-hearted. ”

"Don't taunt me, Jarvis." Selena's face was bitter, and there was some pleading in her voice.

Li Nuo accepted it when he saw it, and grinned:

"Just kidding, don't talk about it in the future, I know you have a hard time, but I can't help but complain a few words. That's it for today. I hand over the corpse and important relics to you, and I'm sure you'll take care of it. ”

Li Nuo reached out to his waist and took out the magic bag containing the four headless corpses and magic books, and placed it on the table.

Selena's handing over the headless corpse to Dikla Fagan can act as a deterrent and force the other party to submit.

Returning a magic tome with a magic lock is the best way to dispose of it.

Anyone touching the magic lock in the wrong way will alarm the professor who placed the magic lock.

Returning the magic book in which the magic lock is intact can show your demeanor, and erase the suspicion of "breaking the magic lock without permission and illegally obtaining magic knowledge" for yourself, and not give the other party the opportunity to use the law to question you.

Selena saw that Li Nuo took the initiative to take out the corpse and magic books, and glanced at his familiarity with the world.

If Li Nuo refused to hand over the corpse and the magic book, she would have to go through some persuasion again.

Well, now that hassle is gone.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, smiled, and put away the magic pocket on the table.

"I'll go back first, Selena. I'll be in the inner circle and the inner circle these days, and I'll go to the outer circle once in a while to meet with Cian's butler. If there is news, you can always use "Soul Sense" to find me. ”

Leno stood up, ready to call for Dinas to come and take him away.

Before leaving, he told Selena:

"I'm only giving Dikra Fagan seven days. When the time came, and the gold was not in place, I immediately got rid of him and his family guard. I, a person wielding a big stick, always have to let the big stick be implemented, so that you can have more confidence in negotiation, right? ”

"Hmm. I understand. You're right. Selena solemnly responded:

"If you don't receive a donation within seven days, I will cooperate with all your efforts. I always remember how you helped me. If I were not a Wizard of the Nine Rings, and I was not tasked with managing the wizards' forces, I would definitely use a duel to wash away the humiliation that Dikla Fagan inflicted on me. ”

As soon as Dikra Fagan talked about her blackmailing her into marrying each other, Selena became a little angry and resentful.

Obviously, despite the fact that she often handles things from the perspective of the big picture, she is still full of resentment towards Dikla Fagan in her heart.

Her inconsistent behavior may be misunderstood as "cowardice", but Li Nuo knows that this is essentially a manifestation of tenacity.

If Leno gets rid of Dikra Fagan, it will not only make the criminals who murdered the law enforcement wizard receive the punishment they deserve, but also help Selena get revenge.

Li Nuo shook his hand goodbye to Selena.

The fire flashed in the study, and Dinas took Leno back.

When Leno was gone, Selena began to check the corpses and magic books in her magic pocket.

The four corpses did not suffer any further injuries other than their heads, and there was no desecration of the corpses.

This shows that Li Nuo can control his emotions and will not vent his anger on the corpse.

The six magic tomes are intact, and there is no sign of the magic lock and the mechanical lock being cracked.

This shows that Li Nuo knows how to be proportional and does not have any thoughts about the knowledge that he should not possess.

In addition, such as the memos, magic albums, commemorative pendants, etc. in his personal belongings, Li Nuo did not take them, and all of them were left in his magic pocket.

These things with personal significance did not become the object of Li Nuo's search, nor were they thrown away by him.

It can be said that except for compensating for his lost property, Li Nuo did not touch anything else that was personal and protected by the law.

This approach may seem a bit cowardly to others.

But in Selena's eyes, this is a noble character.

Li Nuo was still able to restrain his behavior when he had the strength to kill the wizards of the Seven Rings, strictly follow the law, and only attack the criminals who violated him, rather than using his own power to capture the innocent.

This is enough to show that Li Nuo has self-discipline far beyond ordinary people.

Thinking of Li Nuo's extraordinary ability to perceive people and things, and his incisive judgment, Selena became more and more identified with this hermit wizard.

"I can't let Jarvis down."

Selena sorted out the relics and corpses in her magic pocket and carefully prepared the letter that made Dikla Fagan confess.

Inside the stone house in the inner circle.

The seaside cottage in the middle of the night is exceptionally peaceful.

After following Dinas back to the house, Leno was hugged by the other party's soft arms.

Dinas had recovered most of her tragic experience from Latifah's tragedy, and there was still a trace of sadness and anguish in her heart.

"Lee, if I, too, like Latifah, fell asleep in bliss and was turned into a monster with a closed heart, would you awaken my mind and turn me back from a monster back to a human?" Dinas asked, leaning against Lenovo's chest.

Li Nuo patted the other party's back:

"That's a question for yourself, Dinas."

"Why?" Dinas didn't seem to understand.

Li Nuo said gently:

"If you have the courage and faith to face the suffering of your own body, then I will surely awaken your heart, and then tell you the truth about what happened to you during the closed heart, and I will accompany you to overcome it."

After thinking for a long time, Dinas hugged Li Nuo and said:

"Then you must awaken my heart, and I will overcome the suffering, I will."

"Okay, I promise you." Li Nuo responded.

After a two-second pause, Leno said:

"Rest assured, though, I won't let pessimism happen. You just have to stay at home and I'll take care of everything. ”

"Uh-huh."

Author's language: Selena is an important supporting actress, and her character will change with the plot.
