244. Start hunting

The secret conversation that took place in Selena's study lasted until nine o'clock in the evening.

Lappe Chanal personally tested Linuo's "knowledge of everything" and was completely convinced.

In the entire Unas Ring, the number of wizards who have mastered the "understanding of everything" can be counted on one hand, and there will definitely not be more than five people.

Except for Li Nuo, who is a wizard of the First Ring, the other four have all become members of the councilor and professor level, at least the wizard of the Eighth Ring.

It is estimated that as long as Li Nuo is given enough time and room to grow, he will become a wizard of the Eight Rings, and it is almost a sure thing to enter the Witch Council.

Rape Chanal's mindset is shifting.

He gradually went from being the head of the family who was invited to discuss the fight against the pirates to being an investor who wanted to invest in the future of Li Nuo.

Li Nuo's change of mentality towards Rape Channar was precisely controlled, and Selena took out the pre-written magic contract book at the right time.

This magic contract not only helps the Channar family find out the spy, but also mentions the friendship between Lenor Jarvis and Selena and the Channar family.

As long as Rape Channar signed the magic contract, Leno had the status of the Channar family's advisor.

Why would Leno be so interested in a wizarding family that trades?

It has to do with his experience before he crossed over.

The prices of commodities, especially industrial raw materials, can directly reflect the direction of some regions or the world as a whole.

For example, the price of natural rubber.

In the absence of natural disasters and the absence of a sudden reduction in the production of natural rubber, the forward price of natural rubber suddenly rises, and the volume of trading is huge, then it generally indicates one thing:

Metallic mineral production is about to soar.

How can the price change of natural rubber be related to copper production?

The answer is:

The depletion of the tires by transporting metals and minerals is very high. Mining vehicles operate in very harsh environments, and the consumption of tires is staggering, resulting in transportation costs accounting for 10 to 20 percent of the total cost of copper mining.

This is one of the market phenomena that Li Nuo observed before the crossing.

Rape Chanar himself said that there is a lot of sensitive information in the family.

The price changes of raw materials like this are one of the sensitive information he is referring to.

Knowing the price of raw materials is the first reason why Li Nuo values the Channar family.

The second reason is that the Channar family has key "transportation data".

In the world before Li Nuo's travel, there was a shipping data that reflected the prosperity of global trade, called the "dry bulk freight index".

The Chanar family's shipping operations spread across the Unas Ring, the Suman Islands, and the mainland of Cahill. It undertakes the price, quantity and scale of transportation business, which can directly reflect the demand for a certain commodity in a certain region.

In the world before Li Nuo traveled, there was a situation where important activity results were deduced from a small commodity.

In this otherworld, where wizards are everywhere, although extraordinary power is rampant, the price information and transportation data are still valid, and they will not be easily swayed by extraordinary power.

And it's precisely because the power of magic is so attractive that things like price information and shipping data rarely get the attention of high-level wizards.

Only a wizarding family like the Channars, who started as wizard merchants, would be interested in price information and shipping data that had nothing to do with magic.

To put it in layman's terms...

In this world, delving into magic and meditation is the dominant culture.

Business and trade are non-mainstream.

A man-made disaster such as piracy can only affect trading families like the Channars.

For wizarding forces that can open portals at any time, the so-called ocean routes, land transportation routes, etc., are all dispensable.

As long as the magic pockets are large enough, the cost of opening the portal will be evenly divided between the dozens of super-large magic pockets.

Wizard forces with deep roots can completely use portals instead of trade routes.

As a result, the Channar family can only do the business of small and medium-sized wizard families, and has never been favored by powerful wizard forces.

To tell the truth, after confirming that Li Nuo has "all things in mind", seeing that Li Nuo is still willing to be his family's magic advisor, Rape Chanal has a flattered illusion.

"Thank you for your support of the Channar family, Jarvis. I also didn't expect a future councillor-level professor to become our magical advisor. ”

Rape Chanal said happily, with a lot of respect in his words:

"I now have complete confidence in your personal ability to uncover spies. When I return to the manor, I will immediately prepare the charter investigation book and pass it on to you by a magical messenger. With it, you'll be able to enter and exit the Channar family's territory when necessary, and board the Channar family's ships. ”

As she spoke, Rape Chanal picked up the magic pen and wrote her name on the magic contract.

Li Nuo also signed his name.

Selena was a witness, and she left her name between her and the two of them's signatures.

The magic contract book turned into white light and split in two, shooting into the chests of Lino and Rape Chanal.

The Magic Contract is officially in effect.

Li Nuo can do it boldly with confidence.

"Chanal, I'll start investigating the spy tomorrow." 李诺 says:

"Three days at the earliest, seven days at the latest, I'll find out most of the Dark Tide spies in the Chanar family. The few Dark Tide Spies who follow the ship adrift at sea will need you to notify the ship's guards to capture them. ”

"Okay, no problem. You can communicate with me personally about the capture of the spy without going through my housekeeper and family. ”

Rape Chanal reported the magical zip code he used to receive letters.

Li Nuo wrote down this magical zip code composed of numbers and characters.

Since then, he has been able to communicate directly with each other.

Seeing that it was dark and approaching the end of the night, Rape Chanal got up to leave, and this was the end of tonight's secret talk.

Leno accompanied Rape Chanal to board the utility vehicle and returned home.

Snowwing cats are as clingy as ever.

Li Nuo picked it up from his feet, rubbed the cat's chin and small belly, and sucked it twice.

Dinas heard the movement on the first floor and walked from the second floor with joy on her face:

"I registered for the exam and it was successful! You can take the wizard level exam the day after tomorrow. ”

"Do you need to go to Unas Ring?" Li Nuo asked.

Dinas pounced on her, put her arms around Leno and said:

"No, the exams are all in the professor's plane."

Li Nuo gently rubbed the other party's face:

"You're sure you'll be fine, maybe you'll get a perfect score."

Dinas happily smacked Linuo:

"You're so nice, Lee. Thanks to your extraordinary abilities, otherwise just the endorsement would have made me lose a lot of hair. When I become a Four-Ring Reborn Witch, my teleportation range will be much larger, and I will definitely be able to help you then..."

In the past two months, Dinas saw that Li Nuo was busy and she had been unable to help the other party, and she inevitably felt a loss in her heart.

In the final analysis, it was caused by her strength being too weak.

On the one hand, the healing and defensive effects of her current Rebirth spell require her to cast a spell on the spot.

But if she follows Li Nuo to participate in the battle, it will inevitably drag Li Nuo back.

On the other hand, the teleportation distance of the "Rebirth Teleportation Technique" is really not enough, and it is currently only more than 120 kilometers.

At most, she is in the offshore range, helping Li Nuo travel between the sea and his home faster.

These two shortcomings will be solved after Dinas reaches the four rings.

After she became a Four-Ring Reincarnation Witch, she could buy the blueprint for the Four-Ring Spell from the Professor, such as "Rebirth Teleportation" and "Secondary Reversal of Death" - that is, to increase the spell level limit from the current level 39 to level 49.

The teleportation range of the "Rebirth Teleportation Technique" has been greatly increased, directly tripling from the current more than 120 kilometers to nearly 400 kilometers.

"Secondary Reversal of Death" was originally a healing spell that required a reading bar.

It evolves into the Blessing of Reversal of Death, which becomes a spell that heals for 60 minutes after a single cast.

For 60 minutes, whenever Lino is injured, the healing effect will be automatically triggered, eliminating the need for Dinas to maintain the cast state.

Other spells, such as "Secondary Rotten Rebirth", "Secondary Defense Death Enchantment", "Toxin Suppression", etc., will be transformed, greatly increasing the effect and duration of the spell.

This is the transformation of a normal wizard from a wizard student to a four-ring wizard.

Since these spells are included in the "Promoted Fortress", the spell casting cost will not change much after the spell effect is increased.

Li Nuo patted Dinas on the shoulder and said:

"I just made a magical pact with Rape Chanar to help him find the Spy. In the future, you may have to travel back and forth between sea and land frequently, and you may have to dive to the bottom of the sea and face dangerous underwater caverns. After you learn the Four Rings Spell, you can go to sea with me, ready to meet me with the Rebirth Teleportation Technique. With a transmission distance of 400 kilometers, many thorny problems can already be solved. ”

"Okay~" Dinas raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes bent into crescents, approached Li Nuo, and "nibbled".

Li Nuo threw the snow-winged cat in his hand to the cat cage, so as not to get in the way...

Finding out about the family spies, Li Nuo's thinking is very clear.

When he killed Parica, a high-ranking Darktide Spy, at sea, he found many traces of the Darktide Spy from the other party's memories.

The Chanar family has a total of 50 teams of sea patrol wizards in the Starfall Sea.

As far as Parika can remember, there are at least 10 teams with Darktide Spies.

The Dark Tide Spies of these 10 teams are under the control of the captains of each team.

The situation of these 10 captains is the same as Parica, on the surface, they are six-ring deep-sea battle wizards who graduated from the deep-sea branch, but they are actually six-ring dread-sail wizards, real high-level Darktide spies.

Both they and Parika are at the mercy of Elder Darkscale.

From this, it is not difficult to see the spy vein of the Terrorist Pirate State:

The superior of a normal Darktide Spy is a high-ranking Darktide Spy, and the latter is a Darkscale Elder at the superior.

Li Nuo's first thought was to pull Elder Darkscale out.

However, after using the "Water Walk" to make a few trips back and forth in the Starfall Sea, he discovered something unusual from three high-level Darktide spies.

The way the other three received information from Elder Darkscale was similar to the "online teaching" of wizard students, all through dreams.

In other words, in the Voyage Pirate Nation, the position of "Elder" corresponds to the main professor of Unas Ring.

The difference is that the minimum requirement for the main professor is six rings, while the elder of the Fear Sail Pirate Nation needs to have a minimum strength of seven rings.

Just as the professors "cowered" in the Unas Ring, the Darkscale Elder has always been within the Sail Pirate Nation and will never enter the waters near the Suman Islands.

Li Nuo even guessed that this so-called "Darkscale Elder" was not a human, and he was most likely a kraken in the Kraken Kingdom.

It is very troublesome to track down such an enemy.

After thinking about it again, Li Nuo temporarily gave up the idea of searching for Elder Darkscale.

Instead, he focused on uncovering clues to pirates' plundering of ocean-going ships.

After this investigation, Li Nuo was almost so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

The Chanar family has a total of 33 ocean shipping companies here in the Suman Islands.

Inside each transport company, there are at least 20 magical mechanical ships.

Li Nuo used deconstruction to observe these 33 ocean shipping companies.

He found that there were two Dark Tide spies in each company, and they were both in the position of arranging ship shifts...

The guys calculated their voyage and let some of the magical mechanical ships that carried important cargo pass through the deserted deep sea area in the middle of the night.

With the night dark and windy and the waves rolling, it was a good time for pirates to plunder ocean-going ships.

Li Nuo wrote down the information of these ships.

He killed two Darktide spies and gave Rappe Chanal an assignment, and then followed the ship's instructions to the pirate's preset ambush location to guard the pirate.

Li Nuo has already thought about it.

Scoop out spies and clean up pirates, he has to catch them with both hands.

Only one or two spies' heads were sent to Chanar every day to prove that he was working hard.

At the same time, he has to appear at the location of the pirates in advance every time to sweep the pirates away.

After a few successful attempts, the pirates will realize that there is a problem with the intelligence network they have planted in the Channar family.

They will immediately make adjustments to the intelligence network.

At that time, it may be possible for him to discover the traces of Elder Darkscale through "mind tracing" and deconstruction.

This is Li Nuo's plan.

It started with the first pirate sweep tonight.

Sea Area No. 149 of the Treasure Sea.

The sea temperature is 26 degrees.

Sea surface winds of 18 km/h.

The sea surface is slightly undulating, and the wave height is 0.5 meters.

Slight white waves, overcast weather, poor lighting.

The water is 80 meters deep, in the middle of the water that the moonlight does not shine.

Ten pirate ships emitting a faint green light are moving silently towards their designated destination, driven by the current circle.

In the porthole of the pirate ship, the Krakens roared and hissed, gathering in the largest cabin on the middle deck.

What used to be a ship's dining room for humans to gather is now the site of some kind of strange ritual performed by the Sirens.

Four blood-smeared totem poles stand in the center of the site.

The totem pole is covered with spikes of bone that extend outward, and are interspersed with stumps dripping with blood and pieces of flesh of unknown origin.

On the floor around the totem pole, there are bloody patterns of dirty blood and bone fragments.

The lead kraken stands in front of the totem pole, which is about two meters high, and opens its large mouth with an inverted triangular head, revealing its frightening sharp teeth.

He opened his arms and howled loudly.

The krakens behind him made the same move, roaring wildly at the totem pole.

The high-pitched cries rose higher and higher, and there were slight changes on the four totem poles.

The pillar, red with blood, twisted a few times like an arm that had stripped off its skin.

With a few sticky sounds, four indifferent and ruthless eyes opened in the center of the four totem poles.

Each totem pole has an eye.

These four eyes swept over the krakens at the scene, and then exploded with a bang, turning into scattered beads of blood and burrowing into the kraken's eye sockets.

The forked horns on the kraken's head were originally dark green.

But after the blood beads entered their eyes, their tentacles instantly turned red, like red-hot iron bars, blooming with a dazzling bright light.

At the same time, their eyes were scarlet, bone spurs grew from the joints of their bodies, and their bodies swelled in a circle, becoming more and more burly.

The same scene took place on ten pirate ships at the same time.

It was clearly a pre-war preparation for the war, involving abominable sacrifices, full of distortions and filth.

The Krakens are helped by some kind of power and become powerful and cruel.

The message fed back by the deconstruction technique intuitively presents the changes before and after.

The original Krakens had a combat strength of about level 50.

After receiving the enhancement of the totem pole, their combat power increased dramatically, reaching a maximum of level 65, and they became an existence comparable to the six-ring battle wizard.

Ten pirate ships, each with 100 Krakens, bringing the total number of Krakens to a thousand.

Types of Krakens include the Tide Hunter who is good at tracking, the Tide Keeper who is good at defending ships, and the Tide Warrior who is good at attacking.

Li Nuo faced such a group of pirates with a strong team, and saw some clues.

The last time he saw pirates and pirate ships, he didn't see any signs of totem poles.

This was the first time he had seen a totem pole on a pirate ship that could open his eyes and strengthen the Siren.

Li Nuo secretly observed, thought for a while, and came to a conclusion:

Pirates will flexibly allocate the number of Krakens according to the strength and value of the target of the raid.

When the number of Krakens reaches 1,000, the pirates will throw in the totem poles that strengthen the Kraken.

Leno hides in the sea 30 kilometers away from the pirate ship.

He used his "Psychic Vision" to observe the pirate ship and throw out a large handful of deconstruction.

"Hmm... After these Krakens were strengthened, their minds became crazy and bloodthirsty, and they gained the trait of "Bloodthirsty Addiction", and the "Spiritual Blood Bar" should have become a lot longer. ”

Li Nuo thought about the solution in his mind:

"Due to the limited combat data, the system was unable to predict the specific length of the Psychic Blood Bar.

"I'm going to have to attack a Kraken with 'Mind Bombardment' before I can get the relevant combat stats. If the Kraken's "Psychic Health Bar" is too long, I may have to find another way to annihilate them..."

Li Nuo used the word "total annihilation".

If others heard that he was a one-ring wizard who tried to annihilate 1,000 krakens comparable to five-ring battle wizards, they would only laugh at his stupidity and arrogance.

But Li Nuo wasn't joking, he did have a way to wipe out all the Krakens on the scene, and the means were not only to use "mind bombing" scraping. (End of chapter)
