227. Hunt for Fagan
Early the next morning.
A team of deep sea wizards with a special mission set off from the academy and arrived in the academy's magic car to the territory of Dikla Fagan.
The team has no plans to meet with Dikra Fagan. After handing over the magic bags and letters to the new housekeeper in the visitors' quarters, they left in the magic car.
After being magically detected and confirmed that there was no danger, the new housekeeper of the visitors' quarter brought them into Dikla Fagan's living quarters, and finally appeared on Master Fagan's desk.
Dikla Fagan's face was a little gray and distorted, and his eyes were full of fierceness and resentment.
He stretched out his right hand and gripped the magic pocket tightly.
The soft fabric was deformed in his hands.
He vaguely felt the contents of the bag through the fabric, four metal crates and a pile of loose things.
"Dead Festa. Dead"
Dikla Fagan used the "wizard's hand" to take out the contents of the magic pocket and spread it flat on the floor next to the table.
Four metal coffins with clear glass lids are arranged diagonally on the floor.
Beneath the transparent lid of the metal coffin were four bodies that Dikla Fagan was all too familiar with.
Dikla Fagan's eyes were distracted, and his body trembled violently like a sieve.
The wall of the study squirmed, and a figure walked out of it, it was the family secret who proposed the assassination plan to Young Master Fagan.
When this man came to the study, he glanced lightly at the figure of Young Master Feigen, and then searched for something in the pile of metal boxes on the floor.
A metal box encapsulating a magical tome caught his eye. He stepped forward and looked condescendingly at the magic books in the box.
His gaze pierced through the transparent lid and scanned the six magic tomes. Seeing that the magic lock of the magic book was intact, a faint disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Looks like you're underestimating your opponent, Dikla. You lost this round of encounters, and you lost completely. Not only did your opponent see your intentions, but they also cost you dearly. The family guard picked up the envelope on the table with the "wizard's hand" and handed it to the sluggish young master Fagan:
"These things were sent by the Deep Sea Branch, and the whole incident must have been ordered by Selena. Open it up and take a look at this handwritten letter from Selena. If she can accept your surrender, then you'd better do what she says. ”
"Do I still have a chance? Uncle Dikra Fagan was extremely depressed, even despairing.
The family guard shook his head slightly:
"Don't raise when you're losing."
Dikla Fagan looked at Festa's metal coffin, stumbled over, and cried:
"No~Festa, no~ I shouldn't have let you supervise them!! You're my closest person! ”
The family guard watched Dikla Fagan's weeping back, a playful smile on his lips.
He quickly erased the expression that shouldn't have been shown.
He put the envelope back on the table, found a chair against the wall and sat down, waiting for Dikla Fagan to calm down.
After about 10 minutes, the wall clock on the wall chimes the time on the hour.
Dikla Fagan recovered from the jingling of the bells, leaned against the wall, and walked to the desk and sat down.
He wiped the tears from his face, cut open the envelope with a knife, and took out the letter.
The content of Selena's letter made his expression unpredictable, ranging from anger and unwillingness, to helpless depression, and even the horror brought about by the conditions of surrender.
"7,900,000 gold coins!" Dikla Fagan crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it towards the wall:
"That damn bitch! He even asked me for 7.9 million gold coins! ”
The family guard used the "wizard's hand" to take the letter and unfold it in the air.
After carefully reading the contents of the letter, the family secret guard's eyes flashed and he muttered:
"7,900,000 gold coins... That's just right... Selena is not ordinary... I actually calculated the fate of Dikla... It just saved me some trouble. ”
Dikra Fagan was venting his anger at this time, and did not hear the family guard talking to himself.
He picked up the beautiful objects on the table and smashed them around.
A crackling crunch rang out throughout the study, and sharp ceramic shards and glass shards flew everywhere.
A vase flew towards the family guard, and he fixed it in the air with a "wizard's hand".
But it was Dikla Fagan who lost his mind in his impotent rage and threw the thing out indiscriminately, right at the family guard.
The gaze of the family guard became cold for a few minutes, and then returned to an indifferent and loving appearance:
"Dikla, calm down. That's a loss. As long as you're fifth in line, you'll always find a chance to fight back. ”
Dikra Fagan is throwing things around in a yell.
When he heard the voice of the family guard, he turned his head and was about to say something, but when he saw the vase in front of the other party, he shuddered, stopped his words, and said instead:
Hug hug hug, uncle. Almost hit you."
"It doesn't matter." The family guard lowered the vase with the "wizard's hand" and put the letter back on the table.
Dikra Fagan saw that the other party did not blame himself for accidentally injuring him, and when he was secretly relieved, he also regained some reason and stopped smashing things.
He picked up the letter on the table, shook it vigorously, made a rattling sound, and said with an excited expression:
"Uncle! That's 7.9 million gold coins! I'll have to use two family funds to make up such a large amount of compensation! ”
The family guard looked at each other with concerned eyes and persuaded:
Selena sent this letter in her capacity as the director of the Deep Sea Branch, not in her personal name. Do you know what that means? Dikla. It means that she has the evidence of your secret cooperation with the Terrorist Sail Pirate State and the Demon Brain Country, and the human and physical evidence is complete. Don't forget the seven deep sea wizards you bought, whose corpses and deaths didn't appear in front of you.
"According to Wizarding Law No. 2, in the event of a conflict, the wizarding family can exchange donations and pledges for the understanding of the other party to avoid the intervention of the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department, which is a 'private' method allowed by the law. If you can't accept Selena's terms of surrender, then she'll turn the evidence over to the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department and apply for a chartered investigation order. In my experience, there is more than an 80% chance that she will get an investigation warrant. ”
Dikla Fagan sat down in his chair and looked at the family guard with an expectant look:
"Uncle, can you please help me again, and take those seven deep sea wizards too."
"Enough! Dikla! The family guard snorted coldly:
"The last time I helped you get rid of the family advisor, it was because the contract you signed with the family advisor contained the contract rules that the betrayer would voluntarily accept any punishment! If Selena asks questions, we can use the contract to prove the legitimacy of our execution of the betrayer! But don't be fooled! Those seven Deep Sea Wizards aren't your family advisors, they're members of the Deep Sea Branch! ”
Dikra Fagan bowed his head amid the scolding:
"It's... Uncle. ”
The family guard snorted lightly and said in a muffled voice:
"Hear me clearly, Dikla, don't raise after losing. All you really have to do now is to mobilize gold coins in exchange for Selena's forgiveness in the form of donations to the Deep Sea Branch, and attach a letter of promise that you will admit your mistake and promise not to provoke the other party again. Only then will you be able to retain your position as fifth in line to the throne. ”
Dikla Fagan's shoulders drooped weakly, and he lamented and whispered:
"That's all there is to it"
Seeing that the other party had accepted his offer, the family guard stood up, straightened his robes and wizard hat, and retreated into the wall behind him.
Two days later.
The core circle is a stone house by the sea.
The sea of broken glass rises and falls, and Lino lies under a parasol on the beach, next to Dinas who feeds him fruit.
The atmosphere of relaxation and tranquility makes it difficult to imagine the dark tide surging between the wizarding family and the academy.
"Is it delicious~" Dinas peeled off the skin of the grapes, put the smooth flesh into Li Nuo's mouth, and took away the grape seeds that the other party spit out to his mouth
Li Nuo felt the sweet juice flowing between his teeth and snorted a few times in satisfaction.
"Then I'll peel a few more for you~" Dinas laughed and continued her skinning business.
Li Nuo suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on her shoulder, and stood up from the recliner with the help of the other party's smooth shoulders as support:
"Oh, Selena has received letters and donations from Dikla Fagan. I'll go there first and I'll be back soon. ”
"Okay~ Then I'll keep the grapes for you." Dinas set aside the grapes in the bowl, picked up the apple slices and clicked them.
Li Nuo returned to the stone house, changed into a magic robe, and boarded a public vehicle parked in the garden to meet Selena.
In a few moments, he reached the Academy Castle on the mountain and landed on the terrace on the top floor of the main tower.
Li Nuo walked towards Selena, who was sitting at the table, and said:
"I'll just say it, although 7.9 million gold coins is a lot, but this is the money to buy a life, and Dikra Fagan will definitely give it."
Selena threw away the heavy coin bag in her hand and sighed with emotion:
"That's 7,900,000 gold coins, Jarvis, enough to buy a large island rich in minerals and magical resources. How can you be so sure he can get such a sum of cash? Have you seen his ledger? ”
Li Nuo smiled and sat down at the table:
"I haven't looked at his ledger. The figure of 7.9 million is just my calculation based on the information I have recently inquired about. What did Dikla Fagan say in the letter? ”
Selena placed the coin pouch in a separate metal box, picked up the stationery on the table and handed it to Li Nuo:
"See for yourself, I think the attitude is quite sincere, and I can tolerate him continuing to stay here in the Suman Islands."
After reading the contents of the letter, Li Nuo handed the letter back and said:
"Whether he can stay in the Suman Islands or not, you and I don't count, it's not something we can decide, do you know Mutter Pangula?"
Selena recalled the name:
"Do you mean the head of the Pangula family?"
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded.
"You want and let me write him a letter asking him to transfer Dikra Fagan from the Suman Islands?" Selena asked.
"No, we don't have to do anything, we just have to wait quietly for Dikra Fagan and Mutter Pangula to quarrel." Li Nuo said calmly.
Selena was stunned for two seconds before she reacted:
"The donation received by the academy is not the spare money in the hands of Dikla Fagan?!"
"Of course not. He hadn't sold a few islands in the past few months, and he had handed over the proceeds from the sale of mines to the Terrorist Sail Pirate State, so how could he have so much cash to donate to the academy. The 7,900,000 gold coins were paid to us by him after he used Mut Pangula's money privately. The money was supposed to go to Mutter Pangula two weeks later. ”
"But how do you know," Selena was amazed.
Before she could finish speaking, Li Nuo raised his palm and stopped the other party's words:
"Oh, Selena, don't ask questions like this that won't get answers, just leave me some privacy, okay?"
Selena closed her mouth, winked at Li Nuo, and nodded her chin:
"Okay. I don't ask."
Li Nuo snapped his fingers:
"That's right, you don't have to ask questions to cooperate with me, you just need to know that I will act strictly according to the contract."
Li Nuo sat up straight:
"Let's get back to business. If Dikra Fagan scrapes together less than 7.9 million gold coins in half a month, then he will have to face Mutter Pangula's questioning, and even be transferred from the Suman Islands by Mout Pangula because of his private use of family funds.
"I would like you to help me write a letter to Lady Melissa Farr telling her that the opportunity has come to avenge her most beloved little daughter, and that this letter is being sent in your private capacity."
"Who did you just say this letter is addressed to? Melissa Farr? "The Blazing Queen"? Selena was in a trance:
"What does this have to do with the Blazing Queen? You're confusing me. ”
Leno asked:
"Don't you know that here in the Suman Islands, there is the granddaughter of the Blazing Queen?"
Selena shook her head blankly.
Li Nuo almost didn't catch his breath:
"Okay, I'll ask again. Did you know that the Pangula family has two heads in the Suman Islands? One is Dikla Fagan with the fifth pick, and the other is Syanne Nobbs with the twenty-fifth pick. ”
"I know about it. When Sian Nobbs arrived in the Suman Islands, I invited her to meet at the Academy. But the person who came was not her, but her butler. The butler looked a little older, and was very silent, barely revealing much information about him and Sian to me, except that he would soon leave the Suman Islands. ”
Selena paused for half a second, puffed up the full moon, and inhaled hard:
"You mean, Sianne Nobbs's mother is the Blazing Queen's favorite little daughter? How did I never know about this? ”
"You know now, Selena." 李诺 says:
"I can't say much about the specific situation, it's a private matter for Sian. I had a good time with them, and they told me about the past when they met with me. Once you send your letter to the Blazing Queen, you should receive a reply soon. For some reason, she doesn't care much about her granddaughter, but if there is a chance to avenge her deceased little daughter, I think she will still be happy to do it. ”
"Avenge the youngest daughter." Selena pondered and asked:
"Who is the murderer of the youngest daughter of the Blazing Queen?"
Li Nuo looked at her with a smile:
"I don't know, Selena, but I think Dikla Fagan will tell the Blazing Queen some clues."
Hey, actually Li Nuo knows the answer.
He found these things in the results of Festa's solution.
"Blazing Queen" is a family title inherited by the head of House Farr.
Melissa's youngest daughter, the current head of the family, is Syrian's mother.
The Farr family has a strong demand for fire magic.
It worked closely with Fagan Pangula, who had mastered the "Scorched Rock Plateau".
Fagan Pangula was the father of Dikra Fagan.
In order to stably obtain the fire magic resources produced by the "Scorched Rock Terrace", the current "Blazing Queen" decided to marry Fagan Pangula.
Fagen Pangula had wives, and the marriage tradition of the Unas Ring was monogamous.
Therefore, the best candidate to marry Fagan is Fagan's only son, Dikla Fagan.
Originally, under the operation of the family marriage, Qian's mother would marry Dikla Fagan when he became an adult, but Qian's mother saw the right eye with Qian's father at the banquet and wanted to marry the other party.
Undoubtedly, this matter was opposed by the "Blazing Queen", Fagan Pangula, and Dikla Fagan at the same time.
Sian's father was the 10th in line of the Pangula family, five places below Dikra Fagan.
Cian's father's family branch is the Nobbs lineage.
His status is not as good as that of Dikra Fagan, and he is not a member of the Fagan lineage, but he is the heir of the Pangula family anyway.
Fagan Pangula was scheming, held down his son, and married Sian's mother, who was supposed to marry Dikla, to Sian's father.
After the marriage was successful, all parties were rejoicing.
Syne's father has a wife.
The "Blazing Queen" completed her marriage to the Pangula family.
Fagan Pangula forged a deeper magical contract with the Blazing Queen to jointly develop the Scorched Rock Plateau.
Seeing that Sian's father was faintly surpassing himself with the help of the name of "Blazing Queen", Fagan Pangu pulled a crooked thought.
He used covert means to kill Sian's parents, resulting in the death of the youngest daughter of the "Blazing Queen".
The magical contract between the two parties does not end with the death of some person.
Fagan Pangula continues to enjoy the wealth of the magical contract and the Scorched Rock Terrace, and sits comfortably in the position of the family's fourth in line to succession.
Fagan Pangula, the father of Dikla Fagan, became the biggest beneficiary.
The "Blazing Queen" was kept in the dark, and while reaping the fire magic resources brought by the "Scorched Rock Terrace", she was saddened by the death of her youngest daughter.
If the "Blazing Queen" knew that her youngest daughter had died in the machinations of Fagan Pangula, I wonder how she would feel.
Fagan Pangula is his partner~
Facing the mysterious Li Nuo, Selena did not ask, but calmed down to think about writing the letter.
"Jarvis, what should I do if Melissa Fall replies to me for slandering, spreading rumors, and distorting the facts?"
Selena says:
"I can't just say that someone's youngest daughter died of murder without any basis, right? Shouldn't you give me some clues or something, so that I can be more confident. ”
"Well, yes, Selena, you reminded me." Li Nuo smiled slightly, reached into the magic pocket, and took out a letter:
"Syne's butler's name is Kaida. When he was sorting through the relics of Sian's parents recently, he found some clues. He put the clues together and wrote them down on this piece of paper. Follow the clues on paper to investigate and question the people and wizarding forces involved in the murder, then I think the "Blazing Queen" will soon be able to reap some of the truth. ”
Leno pushed the letter in front of Selena and said:
"Let me state it up front, Selena. This letter involves the secrecy of the Fagan lineage of the Pangula family. I haven't seen it, so you'd better not look at it and just send it to the Blazing Queen. You'd better not get involved in the strife between the two families. ”
"Okay, I know how troublesome family strife can be, and I'll stay away." Selena replied with a bow.
She thought for a moment and said:
"Well, I now have a deeper understanding of what you mean by 'red face' and 'black face'. I'm red-faced, socializing and socializing. You're blackfaced, wielding a stick and providing me with armed support, is that what you mean? ”
"Yes, it seems that we have a better understanding." Li Nuo smiled:
"I'll go first. I'm sure you can do it well. I'm going to go out in the near future, so please help me create a picture of me in the stone house that I've been in the inner circle. ”
"No problem, I'll do it."
Selena stood up to see her off.
Before Li Nuo left, she promised to give a part of the 7.9 million gold coins paid by Dikra Fagan to Li Nuo according to the agreement in the soul contract.
This is in accordance with the Unas Ring Decree and is considered to be part of the right to distribute the spoils of war.
Li Nuo risked his life to kill four dangerous criminals and deserved the corresponding reward.
Li Nuo gladly accepted.
After a few days, Selena will be able to collect the honorarium after settling the account.
The amount of the honorarium is one-third of 7.9 million, that is, about 2.64 million.
