242. Thirst for knowledge
It took Li Nuo a full five days to make a carrier of weight-containing magic patterns.
In order to maximize the value of the weight-containing magic pattern, he rigorously screened and summarized the spells he mastered.
The most worthwhile spells to be recorded with weighted magic patterns are detection spells.
For example, there are two variations of the death detection spell "Track the Living" - "Life and Death Tracking" and "See-Through the Living".
The second spell that is worthy of recording with a weight-containing magic pattern is a transformation spell and a camouflage spell.
For example, death is a disguise spell called "Breath of the Dead".
There are two variants of this spell.
The first is to add the "AFK upgrade" feature, as long as the cast state is maintained, you can automatically gain skill experience, saving a lot of energy points for upgrading.
The second is to transform into a "skeleton form", which can become an undead skeleton that can divide the body into six segments.
The third spells that are worth recording with weighted magic patterns are defensive spells, summoning spells, and offensive spells.
Considering that the magic ring is the easiest to use, Li Nuo recorded the weighted magic patterns of various spells on the magic ring in order of priority.
In this way, including the cost of purchasing magic materials and forgetting potions, Li Nuo spent a total of nearly 400,000 gold coins and obtained twelve magic rings with items ranging from level 20 to level 35.
The moment he walked out of the magic laboratory, he wore 3 magic rings on both hands.
In addition to the illusion ring borrowed from Dinas, the other two are:
The Psychic Beacon Ring, which records a "Psychic Beacon" with the "Joint Action" feature, has a magic pattern level of 30, which allows Li Nuo to control 39 mechanical spirits at the same time.
The Ring of the Seen Through the Living, which records the spell "See Through the Living (Level 30)", can not only see through the wall to see the exact position of the living, but also see through the physiological structure of the living.
The rest of the magic rings, when he needs them, he can take them out of his magic pocket and use them at any time.
During the inscription of the magic pattern, Li Nuo also did a small experiment along the way.
He invited Dinas to the magic lab and asked her to engrave a level 10 weighted magic pattern.
The level 10 weighted magic pattern includes the option of an additional reward for the entire 10th level of skill breakthrough to level 10.
When Li Nuo inscribes this magic pattern, he will receive a system message prompting him to choose an additional reward.
When it was Dinas's turn to engrave the magic pattern, she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary!
There is no deconstruction core system on Dinas.
She will not receive so-called system messages.
She is a purebred native wizard.
Her Spirit Ocean didn't tell her to choose the extra reward of the entire ten levels.
She only judged that this magic pattern was a level 10 "tracking the dead" based on the knowledge of magic patterns she had learned.
From this, Li Nuo saw how huge the gap between the system and the system is not.
Wizards without a system have no way of knowing whether the magic pattern they are inscribed has power. They can only draw scoops according to the gourd, copy the original class, and carve the magic patterns exactly apart.
Look at Li Nuo again.
Since the system automatically updates the panel data in real time based on the information he receives, he will receive a system message when he inscribes a weighted magic pattern.
In a sense, the "Deconstruction Core System" is the Pro version of the Spirit Ocean, that is, the professional version that comes with a spell editor, which can not only cast spells, but also modify spells.
Thinking of the "Thundercloud Technique" that the "Deconstruction Core System" could create that had not been included in the "Promotion Fortress", Li Nuo became more and more curious about the relationship between the system and the "Promotion Fortress".
Is the relationship between the two sides subordinate, superior-inferior, coexistent, complementary, or competitive, hostile, genuine and pirated?
During Li Nuo's production of magic items, all kinds of highly abstract philosophical thoughts came to his mind, and he didn't stop until he finished inscribed magic patterns.
Li Nuo put aside these illusory philosophies and reasoning that had no clues for the time being, and started his next job.
About a day ago, when he was still in the magic lab, working magic props, Selena sent a letter inviting him to the study to talk about it.
When Li Nuo left the magic laboratory, the time was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.
He rode in the public vehicle of the inner circle and made it to Selena's study.
Selena looked curiously at Li Nuo's hand, but couldn't see anything from the pure black metal ring.
This shape of the magic ring was deliberately made by Li Nuo.
He used pure black magic paint to paint the entire ring black that does not reflect light and energy fluctuations, covering all the magic lines that protrude on the surface of the ring.
In this way, he can hide the effect of the self-made magic ring in front of outsiders.
Unless a solvent is found and the magic paint is wiped away, no one can discover the mystery of the magic ring with the naked eye and detection spells alone.
This practice of using magic paint to mask the effect of magic items is quite common in the wizarding world.
Selena glanced at it a few times, but didn't pay much attention to it.
She brought the teacup with the "wizard's hand" and invited Li Nuo to sit down, then took out a few letters and put them on the table for Li Nuo to see.
"Mutter Pangula replied." Selena pushes the first letter to Lenovo.
Mutter Pangula is the head of the Pangura family and the first in line to the throne.
Dikra Fagan Pangula, while begging Selena for forgiveness, donated 7.9 million gold coins to the Deep Sea Branch.
The 7.9 million gold coins were not the private property of Dikla Fagan.
It is the property of the Pangula family.
It was supposed to be given to Mutter Pangula by Dikla Fagan on time, but it was misappropriated by Dikla Fagan and handed over to the Deep Sea Branch as atonement for his sins.
Li Nuo asked Selena to tell Mute Pangula about Dikla Fagan's embezzlement of family funds, just to use the internal capital system and management structure of the Pangura family to bring Dikla Fagan to the army.
Mutter Pangula's reply is related to this matter.
"Are you sure it's a letter from Mutter Pangula?" Li Nuo picked up the envelope and poured out the letter to check:
"It can't be that Mutter Pangula asked the butler to write a letter to us, right?"
"I confirm that it was written by Mutter Pangula himself." Selena nodded and said:
And the letter was just as you might expect: Mutter Pangula was angry at Dikla Fagan's misappropriation of the family's funds. Not only did he ask Dikra Fagan to hand over the 7.9 million gold coins of family funds in advance, but he also sent a close associate to the Suman Islands to supervise Dikra Fagan at close range. ”
Li Nuo glanced at the contents of the letter, and said with a hint of a smile:
"Very good, the first step of the plan was successful."
"Huh? What is the plan? Selena asked, a little confused:
"A plan to get rid of Dikra Fagan? Or is it a plan to clamp him down? ”
Li Nuo smiled without saying a word, shook his head slightly, and said instead:
"I can't tell you until the plan is successful, you just need to do your job, Selena."
This is "don't use the hidden dragon, keep it secret".
Li Nuo is a human being, and he knows this truth very well.
At the stage when the plan is forming a trend and entering the "unstoppable" stage, all news about the plan will be blocked by Li Nuo, and only he knows the details of the plan.
Selena threw a small look at him:
"Oh, okay. God mysterious. So what do we do next? Return a portion of the ransom, show grace, and gain the favor of Mout Pangula, or? ”
Li Nuo shook his hand and said:
"No, we don't do anything. Just wait for my instructions. ”
"Okay." Selena looked at Li Nuo and always felt that the other party was setting up a game that she couldn't understand.
"Whose second letter is it?" Li Nuo looked at the table.
Selena pushed the letter forward and said:
"The Flame Queen, the mother of the Farr family. This is her handwritten letter. ”
The Blazing Queen is Syne's maternal grandmother.
Qian's full name is Sian Nobbs Pangula.
She is the only living heir to the Nobbs branch.
His father, Nobus Pangula, married the youngest daughter of the "Blazing Queen" and gave birth to Sian.
Syne's mother was originally going to marry Dikla Fagan when she became an adult, but she was preempted by Dioce's father at the banquet and finally became Syne's mother.
In order to prevent his position from being shaken by Sian's father, Fagan Pangula designed to kill Sian's parents.
The "Blazing Queen" did not know the true cause of her youngest daughter's death, except that she died in an accident, leaving behind her granddaughter Sian, who was only accompanied by the old butler Kaida.
Li Nuo had previously asked Selena to send a letter to tell the "Blazing Queen" that Dikla Fagan might know the truth about the accidental death of her youngest daughter.
Now, it's time to see the Blazing Queen's reply.
Li Nuo opened the letter and looked at the contents.
There were only two words on the letter:
"Read."
Ha, it's really a concise letter.
Li Nuo smiled and said in his heart that this "Blazing Queen" is really a wonderful person.
She omitted all greetings and polite words, so that there was no "red tape" between wizarding families on this handwritten letter.
Li Nuo folded the letter and put it back in the envelope:
"The style of the "Blazing Queen" is really as crisp and decisive as the rumors. I don't know if I have a chance to see this queen. ”
"Then you'll have to go to the territory of the Farr family. You may be able to see the true face of the "Blazing Queen" at the annual grand festival. ”
Selena spoke as she pushed out the third letter:
"This is a personal letter from Rappe Chanal. In the name of the Deep Sea Branch, I invited him to secretly discuss the recent maritime incidents and discuss countermeasures. He accepted my invitation and was always available to come to my study alone for a confidential conversation. ”
Li Nuo opened the envelope and read the letter:
"Good. I'll take full responsibility for helping Rape Chanar get to grips with the family's inner workings, and you'll just have to endorse my enforcement actions when the time comes. If it's all right, we can meet him tonight. ”
Li Nuo looked at Selena, who was about to open her mouth to speak, and said first:
"Don't worry, I'll try to keep a few alive, and I won't kill them all."
This sentence was exactly what Selena wanted, and she changed her words and said:
Well, yes, that's what I want to say. It's best to help me keep the life of a high-level Darktide Spy, so that the Deep Sea Branch can torture out information related to the high-level Darktide Spy's superiors. ”
"Okay, I'll try."
Leno put the third letter back on the table.
At this point, the letter was processed.
Li Nuo looked at Selena and asked:
"How's the Tide Surging cultivation? Is there any progress in the spiritual ocean? ”
Speaking of this, Selena had a smile on her face:
"Thanks to you, it's going well. The spiritual ocean that I hadn't improved for many years has finally changed. It is estimated that in five years, my spiritual ocean will have widened to nearly 300 meters, reaching the minimum standard for promotion to the Ten Rings Wizard. ”
"Then congratulations in advance on becoming the first Ten-Ring Deep Sea Wizard in history." Li Nuo smiled:
"I'm really looking forward to the day when you rise to the stars, which will definitely go down in the history of Unas Ring."
Selena thought for a moment, shook her head and said:
"I don't really want to go into the alien sky."
"Oh? Why? Is it because after entering the alien sky, the strength will be greatly reduced? Li Nuo asked.
Selena sighed:
"Yes, Jarvis."
Li Nuo had always wanted to figure out the reason for the decline in Star Witch's strength.
He did not hide his lack of knowledge in this area, and asked generously:
"Why is this happening?"
Selena blinked in confusion:
"Don't you know?"
"Do I have to know?" Li Nuoguaner:
"Human cognition is a circle, Selena. Inside the circle is the knowledge that you know, and outside the circle is the knowledge that you don't know. When one knows, the circle grows, and the longer the line segment bordering the unknown, the more one will be exposed to the unknown. So there is a situation where the more you know, the more you feel ignorant. ”
Li Nuo spread his hands:
"I never hide my ignorance, and I don't be proud of it. I'm going to face it up and be hungry for the right answer. In other words, I don't have to be aware of everything you say even after you have revealed what I don't know, just because of how knowledgeable I have been before. Asking questions directly and getting answers is what I'm really supposed to do, and there's no point in covering up. ”
Selena stared at Li Nuo in a stunned state.
"Hermit wizards are like you... In this way..."
Selena opened her mouth, but she couldn't find the right words to describe Lenovo's attitude towards knowledge.
Li Nuo's reaction to Selena was no surprise.
The wizards of this world have the power of magic, are deeply involved in the field of magic, and are good at using the spiritual world to change the material world.
In their eyes, knowledge is a private spell blueprint, magic blueprint, spell principle, and meditation cheats.
How to retain this magical knowledge is the focus of their attention.
In contrast, the "circulation" and "dissemination" of knowledge are often regarded as crimes by shamans.
It is precisely for this reason that most wizards usually adopt a respectful attitude when facing the unknown, so as not to break the law due to the temptation of knowledge.
A straightforward approach like Li Nuo's approach of asking questions if you don't understand is relatively unusual in the wizarding world, and is usually only seen in the classes of wizarding students.
After leaving the student stage and starting to accept the beatings of the wizarding society, they dare not ask about the magic knowledge of other wizards at will.
Otherwise, he will inevitably be judged by the Law Enforcement Department as an impure level wizard criminal.
Li Nuo did the opposite, asking questions if he didn't understand, and he didn't shy away from it.
To put it more seriously, he is ignoring the law.
Li Nuo faced Selena, who was speechless, and behaved calmly and calmly:
"There is a soul contract between you and me, so don't care so much about the law. The decree of the Unas Ring gives legitimacy to the soul contract. As long as my actions do not violate the soul contract, then there is no violation of the law. To be honest, it is only in a country like Unas Ring where wizards are everywhere that you can see the power of the individual above the supremacy of the law.
"It's the Tatis Empire..."
Li Nuo shook his head slightly:
"Then the decree is to completely crush the existence of the individual."
Li Nuo waved his hand and unveiled this topic:
"Back to business, Selena, can you tell me why once the Star Witch enters the alien sky, its strength will be greatly reduced??"
Selena frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally said:
"I'm sorry, but I don't know why... It's true, I didn't lie to you. ”
"Oh, well, then I won't ask. I'm sure you're not fooling me. ”
Li Nuo was unimpressed.
He paused and said:
"Well, then, arrange a secret conversation with Rape Chanal. I will participate in this confidential meeting as your assistant.
"In order for Rape Channar to appreciate my presence, I might reveal to him that I have the remarkable trait of being 'all-knowing'. It would be great if he could get his charter for the investigation. I will do my best to clean up all the spies within the Chanar family. ”
"Okay, Jarvis."
Selena recalled:
"I suddenly remembered what you and I said before we signed the soul contract."
"Which paragraph?" Li Nuo asked.
"You say that you are an observer of extraordinary paths, a phantom of extraordinary knowledge, the ultimate buyer of all extraordinary results, right?" Selena said.
Li Nuo nodded:
"Yes. That's what I call myself. ”
Selena took a slight breath and puffed up the full moon, as if she had made some decision:
"If you call yourself a 'buyer', you must have gathered a lot of knowledge, right? For example, the "Tide Surge" meditation method is the content of the Ten Rings stage. If I want to buy other knowledge, what do I have to pay? ”
Li Nuo raised an evil smile:
"Hey, Selena, you've finally realized my true worth. The price of knowledge comes from the people who use it, not from the knowledge itself.
"I have to know what kind of knowledge you need, what you plan to do with it, what it will bring you in return, and then I can determine the price of knowledge. Do you have any urgent needs lately? ”
