"Oh? Did the Kraken let them go? Li Nuo took the letter from Selena's hand and glanced at it, seeing what he expected.

He couldn't help but sneer:

"Oh, that's interesting. The Kraken Queen also played psychological warfare. ”

The letter in Li Nuo's hand came from the Ministry of Island Affairs in Suman City.

Of the wizards who were dragged to the bottom of the ocean last night, a small number survived.

With their half-mutilated bodies in tow, they returned to the Suman Islands.

That includes Yokesim.

This group of survivors claimed that they and the others had witnessed the brutality, bloodthirstiness, and power of the Kraken last night, a power that human wizards could never match, and even the Deep Sea Chamber.

The Kraken spared them, but not the Suman Islands, especially the Deep Sea Branch in the inner circle and Suman City in the inner circle.

If you can't hand over the full amount of magic materials to the Kraken within 30 days, then the Kraken army under the command of the Siren Queen Estano will attack Suman City in a big way, washing away the shame of hundreds of years ago.

Well, after walking in front of the Kraken's life and death, Yoxim and the others have become the Siren's loudspeakers to spread the Siren's prestige in the Suman Islands.

These guys said that the Deep Sea Branch was weak and incompetent, and called on everyone to prepare the materials needed by the Kraken as soon as possible, lest Suman City usher in a situation of misery.

As the head of the richest family in the Suman Islands, Joksim is willing to set an example by giving part of his family property to protect Suman City from disasters.

To make matters worse, Yokosim also unabashedly advertises the power of the Kraken Kingdom.

Things such as "Queen Estano", "Queen Realm", and "Kraken Kingdom" are no longer secrets that only Leno and Selena know.

Joxim told all these things to the wizarding forces with whom he had correspondence.

By the time Selena got the letter, the rumors spread by Yoxime and others had already spread in Suman City.

Selena was shocked and angry at what the other party and others were doing.

Li Nuo was calm and calm, and put the letter back on the table.

He knew a little bit more information.

There are two key pieces of information that appear in the solution but are not revealed in the letter.

First:

The magic materials needed by the Kraken Kingdom refer to the high concentration of magic stones, not the materials of magic scrolls and magic arrays.

Each of the high-concentration magic stones can store 10,000 points of magic energy.

This is what the Kraken Kingdom desperately needs.

As for what type of magical energy is stored in the magic stone, the Kraken Kingdom does not make any restrictions.

Second:

This guy Yoxim will sign a magic agreement with the Kraken Kingdom in private.

He will indeed take the lead in making offerings to the Kraken Kingdom.

But!

After making the offering, the Kraken Kingdom will return the full amount of his supplies, and at the same time give him a small portion of the tribute from the other wizarding forces as a reward.

That's why Joxim is so active in calling on all the wizarding forces to make offerings to the Siren Kingdom.

Li Nuo did not disclose this matter to Selena, he had other arrangements.

He pondered his tone, pretended not to know the inside story, and sighed:

"The Siren Queen Estano is still quite powerful, worthy of being a queen who can sit on the vast undersea territory, both brutal and fierce, but also has a strategy and intelligence that matches her status. Joksim's group was actually right, the Deep Sea Branch was too passive, almost weak, and completely led by the kraken. ”

Li Nuo paused:

"But rest assured, those days will soon be over. I promised to help the Suman Islands return to order and prosper, and that will happen. You call Ronk back now, and say that I have a way to get the Deep Sea Branch to move back into the situation in the next month or so, but I need his help. ”

"Okay, Jarvis, I'll do it." Selena took a deep breath and asked:

"Aren't you going to swing a stick at Yorksim them?"

Li Nuo smiled:

"I'm ready to wield another big stick. Let's let them bounce for a while, the more they jump, the more we have. When Ronk comes back, I'll talk to him about what to do, you don't have to worry. ”

"Okay, I trust you." Selena nodded and watched Li Nuo leave.

Li Nuo wants to change the way of "flipping the table" this time.

A way to both intimidate the Siren Queen and help the Deep Sea Branch take control of the Mantas family.

Of course, the premise is that the Deep Sea Branch is willing to accept his affection.

Otherwise, there is no need for Li Nuo to help the other party through the current difficulties, even if he has Selena as a link.

…

…

The next day, Selena's study.

Li Nuo brought the distribution map of non-metallic ores of the four small islands.

Four small islands, corresponding to four distribution maps.

Before officially deconstructing the island, Li Nuo became a member of the "Ore Element Association" and obtained advanced textbooks on "Ore Exploration" and "Ore Mining".

These two bachelor's skills have reached level 50 at present.

The deconstruction reduction they bring is staggering.

Li Nuo originally estimated that he had a maximum of 500 million energy left.

Unexpectedly, after having the deconstruction discount of academic skills, he only spent more than 2 billion energy points to get four distribution maps.

The inventory of energy value is maintained at a high level of 900 million.

Deconstruct the distribution map provided by the core system to the depth of the vein, reserves, grade, etc.

Leno compiled the four distribution maps into a magic book.

A magic lock that requires 5 million points to deconstruct to guard against top-secret information in magic books.

This is the most complex magic lock that Li Nuo can make after mastering the level 50 "Magic Lock Science".

It may take 1 year, or more, for the Deep Sea Branch to have a chance to forcibly break this magic lock.

Li Nuo unlocked the magic book that recorded the distribution of ores and placed it in front of Ronk Pomida.

This sturdy battle wizard has just returned from Shenzhi Island.

He had learned of the rumors spread by Yoxim and others in Suman City.

If Selena hadn't repeatedly asked him to talk to Li Nuo first, he would have led his deep sea battle wizards to surround the island of Joxim and others.

He picked up the magic tome and looked at it from beginning to end, his eyes shining.

Anyone who gets such a detailed map of the ore distribution can't help but trust a little more, and the same is true for Ronke.

But his mind is not on mining ore for the time being.

To be precise, what Yoxim and the others did had damaged the reputation of the Deep Sea Branch, and he had to hurry to stop this farce.

As for mining or something, let's put it aside for the time being.

Ronk closed the magic tome, put it back on the table, and said in a muffled voice:

"When I get the Yokosim guys, I'll entrust the Pangula family with mining these non-metallic ores, Jarvis. I need to deal with the mess in Yoxim right now. Every second every night, the Deep Sea Branch adds to the stigma. ”

李诺 says:

"I heard that the Yoxim group has agreed that in 15 days at the earliest, and at the latest in a month, they will hand over a large amount of magic stone materials to the Krakens on the sea surface of the 13th sub-sea area of the Starfall Sea. He even invited the newspaper office of Unas Ring. Am I right? ”

Ronk hugged his arms and snorted coldly:

"Yes, there are quite a few wizarding forces that have encountered pirates and have responded to their call. Those guys don't know what crazy they are doing, and they actually listen to the Kraken. Selena counted that in just one day and night, they had collected no less than 100,000 magic stones. In 15 days, millions of magic stones may fall into the Kraken's pocket. I can't let that happen. ”

"What do you think of the plan to kill the Kraken on the scene in the 13th sub-sea area of the Starfall Sea in 15 days?" Li Nuo asked.

Ronk exhaled sullenly:

"It's not a good plan. To tell you the truth, the Deep Sea Branch couldn't do that at all, otherwise it wouldn't be trapped here in the Suman Islands.

"I'm not afraid to know that the Pomida family were not experts in the field of deep sea magic before they took over the Deep Sea Branch. We're coming from the realm of water magic.

"Most of the deep-sea spells mastered by the Deep Sea Branch were originally water-based spells, and only a small part were transformed from Kraken magic.

"Our Tide Surge meditation removes the corrosiveness of the magic of the deep sea, and then uses the magic of the deep sea as water magic, casting a deep sea spell that resembles a water spell.

"We say it's a deep sea wizard, but in fact, it's just a name for the deep sea, and it's essentially the style of a water wizard."

Ronk patted his head in annoyance:

"In the sea, deep sea wizards like us can never be an opponent of the Kraken. If the Espanor Siren Kingdom really wants to attack Suman City and the Inner Circle, I can only lead the deep sea battle wizards to hold their positions at most.

"Unless we have reinforcements from Hortamus, there is no way we can defeat the Kraken at sea."

"The Kingdom of the Siren of Estano will not attack the Suman Islands." Li Nuo nodded to Selena on the side:

"I've already told Selena why."

"Yes, brother." Selena chimed in:

"Joxim only knew that the magic power of the Siren Kingdom in the deep sea far surpassed that of the Deep Sea Branch, but he didn't know that the Siren Kingdom was at war with the shadow creatures of the Gulomi Continent, and the war between the two sides had been going on for a hundred years.

"The pirate rebellion that breaks out here in the Suman Islands every few years is a sacrifice that the Kraken Kingdom needs to collect for rituals. The sacrifice will be ceremoniously transformed into the power of the Siren Queen to strengthen the kingdom's magical realm against the shadow creatures..."

Selena tells the absolute secrets of the Kraken Kingdom.

Ronk Pomida was slightly moved, a little surprised:

"Jarvis, is this all what you told Selena? How do you know these things? ”

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders and said without changing his face:

"If you've ever been to the northern seas of the Gulomi Continent, you'll know that I'm telling the truth. Before I traveled to the Tatis Empire, I spent some time in the Gullomi Continent, and I was well aware of the plight of the Siren Kingdom.

"As long as we find a way to prevent the Kraken Kingdom from collecting sacrifices, then the Kraken Kingdom will not be able to hold ceremonies normally, and the Kraken Queen will naturally not be able to strengthen the magical realm in the south of the kingdom. She will send all the Kraken soldiers back to the south of the kingdom, so that they can defend themselves against the shadow creatures. ”

Li Nuo raised his finger and said:

"I know you don't know much about the plight of the Siren Kingdom, and you don't want to believe what I'm saying. Still, it doesn't matter. When Yoxim and the others pay tribute to the Kraken, I will destroy the Queen's realm.

"Ronk, all you need to do is help me get rid of the Kraken, and then bring back Yoxim and other criminals to be judged by the Unas Ring Decree."

Ronk was silent for a moment:

"If it weren't for the fact that you had mastered the sonic blast spell, I would have almost thought you were bragging... Well, I believe what you say for the time being. What are you going to do? ”

Li Nuo pushed the magic book that the other party had read before in front of the other party:

"It went as planned. You entrust the Pangula family with mining, prove the accuracy of my ore information, and then we sign a long-term magical contract.

"When Joxim makes offerings to the Kraken, my lightning will rain down from the sky, destroying some of the Krakens on the scene and breaking the Queen's barrier.

"You will appear as the hero of the Deep Sea Branch, and use the Sonic Explosion Magic Scroll I gave you to kill most of the Krakens and intimidate Joxim and the others."

"It's as simple as that?" Ronk was stunned.

"Yes, it's as simple as that." Li Nuo clicked on the cover of the magic book:

"I need to sign a magic contract with the Deep Sea Branch first, and get my hands on the private island of the inner circle before I can arrange the thunder and lightning spells that I need in the future.

"That private island will be my base from which to launch thunderclouds. In the future, the Deep Sea Branch can use the "Thundercloud Magic Scroll" for a fee to form a lasting deterrent to the Kraken.

You can discuss with Selena the cost of paid use of Thunderclouds. You can also buy magic scrolls from her for Sonic Blasts and Underwater Burning Rays when you need them. ”

Li Nuo smiled at Selena:

"Don't give Ronk a discount just because he's your brother."

"Yes~" Selena nodded with a smile, causing Ronk next to her to snort dissatisfiedly.

Ronk felt helpless when he saw that his sister was obedient to Li Nuo's words.

He touched the door of his head and said:

"I've seen your methods, Jarvis, and my father is approving about your methods and future plans. As long as Father has read your magic contract and thinks it's okay, then we can sign it now. ”

"It couldn't be better, Ronk. You won't regret making that decision. Li Nuo clapped his hands and grinned.

He winked at Selena.

Selena understood, took the pre-written contract from the desk, and put it on the reception table between the three of them.

The main framework of this contract is Li Nuo's own idea.

The details were optimized by Selena.

In a nutshell:

Li Nuo is Party A, and the Deep Sea Branch is Party B.

Li Nuo paid to provide the distribution map of non-metallic ores in the Suman Islands, "Thundercloud Magic Scroll", "Sonic Shock Magic Scroll", "Underwater Burning Ray Magic Scroll" and other things that are beneficial to the Deep Sea Branch.

According to the services and goods provided by Li Nuo, the Deep Sea Branch paid Li Nuo gold coins in batches.

Every six months, the prices of services and goods change according to the prosperity of the Suman Islands, and Selena calculates the best price for both parties.

In addition to paying gold for Li Nuo's services and goods, the Deep Sea Branch also has to permanently cede an island in the inner circle to Li Nuo and help him build the magic facilities on the island.

Ronk had already relayed the death of Sido and the plan proposed by Li Nuo to his father, that is, Minwak Pomida, the director of the Deep Sea Branch.

Mingwak was busy in Unas Ring and didn't have time to come to the Deep Sea Branch.

He put Ronk in charge of the matter.

As long as the magic contract signed with Li Nuo is beneficial to the Deep Sea Branch, there is no need to refuse.

Selena is a matchmaker, acting as a witness and link, which gives the cooperation between the two sides a certain foundation.

For these reasons, Ronk carefully reviewed the magic contract and sent it to his father for review.

Half an hour later, Minwack's reply to Ronk arrived.

Minwak confirms his acceptance of Lino's magical contract and approves of Ronk's signing.

With a stroke of his pen, Ronk wrote his name on the magic contract.

Li Nuo also wrote his name.

The magic contract book is more than three meters long, and it flashes with a bright white light.

It floated into the air, split in two, split into two pieces of white light, and shot into the eyebrows of Leno and Ronk.

At this point, the magic contract was established.

Li Nuo took out more than 20 copies of the "Sonic Shock Explosion Magic Scroll" on the spot, along with the magic book that recorded the distribution map of the ore, and handed them over to Selena for safekeeping, who sold them to Ronke.

Each magic scroll contains a "sonic blast" with a magic power of 10 million points of wind-based energy.

Wind energy was purchased by Selena on behalf of Li Nuo.

The cost of purchasing the Wind Stone will be added to the price of the Magic Scroll and transferred to the Deep Sea Branch.

Li Nuo is responsible for weaving wind energy into spells, which are stored in scrolls.

Seeing that Li Nuo was so happy, Longke didn't procrastinate.

He took out the certificate of ownership of the islands in the inner circle, drew up the contract for the transfer of the islands on the spot, and signed it with Li Nuo.

From now on, the medium-sized island numbered 033 in the inner circle will be Li Nuo's private property.

"Selena and I go first, Ronk." Li Nuo signed the contract and showed a slight smile on his face:

"I need to get the island in order as soon as possible, so as not to delay the future."

Selena tucked the magic scroll into her pocket and stood up with a lift of her skirt:

"Yes, brother, I'm going to help Li Nuo build the magic facilities on the island, so I won't stay here."

Ronk sighed sullenly:

"Go, go. I'll go talk to Tyren and see how she's taking care of the house. What they did with Yokosim must have been a headache for Tyrene. ”

Selena activates the miniature ocean in the study and teleports away with Lino.

Ronk slapped his thigh, stood up, and left his sister's study.

…

…

Li Nuo was right, he really had to build Island 33 as soon as possible.

There are so many things waiting to unfold when this island is in place.

The first thing is to transfer the personality data "Noreen" of the synthesizer DKP-15 from the synthesizer's main control chip to the computing power array.

The materials for making the Computing Array, Li Nuo has entrusted Comini, who is in the Convergence City, to buy them.

With all the materials complete, Li Nuo only needs to build a top-secret alchemy laboratory to complete the steps of transferring personality data.

The second thing has to do with Nicole's Soul.

After two months of slumber, this little girl is about to complete the soul weaving work with the help of angel seeds.

Before she could wake up, Lino had to find an absolutely safe and secret place to build a culture tank for her.

Only in this way can Li Nuo ensure that she grows up safely and happily.

That's one of the meanings of Island 33, and it's going to be where Nicole gets her back to life.

The third thing is to build a base for launching thunderclouds.

Li Nuo will turn Island 33 into a secret base that can launch thunderclouds at any time and cover thousands of kilometers around the inner circle.

Even if he leaves the Suman Islands in the future, he can remotely control the launch base of Island 33 through "tracking markers" and "mind control" to complete all the steps of launching thunderclouds and thunderstorms.

The fourth thing.

Li Nuo wants to fulfill Dinas's wish and make Island 33 an island harbor in the other party's heart.

It all starts today.

There will be no outsiders involved in the entire island-building work.

Selena, who will help Li Nuo manage the secondary plane in the future, will personally lead her magic servants to build all the magic facilities on the island for Li Nuo.

On Island 33, the figures of Li Nuo and Selena emerge from the clear waters.

The island is full of greenery and has several excellent havens.

Even without the power of magic, it can survive storms.

Selena was listening to Lenovo's design plan for the island's facilities when she received a letter.

"Jarvis, Dikla Fagan is leaving the Suman Islands. He has recently received an official order from the head of the family to go to the Jiaoyan Plateau to join his father, Fagan Pangula. ”

Selena handed the letter to Li Nuo:

"He, along with his retainers and servants, will set out from the Suman Islands by tomorrow evening on a magical mechanical ship. When he reaches the treasure sea, he will leave through the portal first, and his family guards will escort his retainers, servants, and what little wealth is left. ”

Li Nuo took the letter and read it for a while:

"Well, to be expected. Help me talk to Mira Farr, I have something to talk to her about. Tomorrow night, I'll help avenge the Blazing Queen and pave the way for Celine to become the sole head of the local family. ”

"Okay." Selena tapped her chin.

Leno crossed his waist and looked up at the steep peaks and forests on the island, taking a deep breath of fresh air:

"The fact that the Kraken bewitched Yorksim is not a purely bad thing, but it just helped me to intensify some disputes and accelerate my plan."

Li Nuo looked at Selena staring at him:

"I'm going to have to work hard for you in the next month, both to help me build the island and to deal with the annoying wizarding forces. Once Island 33 is on track, I'll be ready to apply for a sub-plane from the Unas Ring. ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, Jarvis." Selena spoke softly:

"I'm sure you'll keep your promise. You don't have to push yourself too hard, you can take your time. ”

Li Nuo shook his head slightly:

"I've seen a little bit more, Selena. I have a hunch that the Metal Progenitor Dragon will come to the Suman Islands. ”

"Oh? Why? Selena's breath faltered.

Li Nuo thought about it and told the other party what he had seen and heard at the bottom of the sea.

Since even the dragon turntable hidden at the bottom of the sea can still be used, does that mean that there are still "living" dragon ruins in the Flying Continent that will launch the dragon collection?

You must know that the fact that there are dragons in the Flying Spin Continent has long been confirmed.

The metal progenitor dragon returned to this world, obviously not for tourism.

With a little speculation, it is not difficult to conclude that this sinister old dragon is likely to return to the Flying Continent to revisit.

Leno was unclear about its purpose and motives.

But come to think of it, the Suman Islands, as an outpost for exploring the Spinner Continent, will definitely become one of the footholds of the Metal Progenitor.

Also, don't let your guard down just because you've signed a magical contract with the Deep Sea Branch.

Minwak Pomida, the head of the Pomida family, is by no means a good stubble.

There are three reasons why Li Nuo is so skeptical.

First, Hitor Pomida's defection to the Kraken may have been known to Minwak as the head of the family. Mingwak may have deliberately connived at his second son to do so, and the motive for the purpose is not predicted for the time being.

When he has the opportunity to meet Minwak, Li Nuo can learn the truth as soon as he deconstructs it with deconstruction.

The second reason to suspect Minwack's uneasy intentions is:

A major event like family friendship must be decided by the head of the family.

Selena had previously befriended Dikra Fagan, but Ronk didn't know about it, and Xido knew.

Sido's decision to marry Selena to Dikla happened a month ago, and Leno had no way of using deconstruction.

But he thought that a matter of this level of family friendship could only be decided by the head of the family, Mingwak.

Therefore, nine times out of ten, Xido was instructed by his father to match Selena and Dikla.

In the same way, if you find Minwak and deconstruct him, you should know the real story of what happened.

The third reason for suspecting Minwack's uneasy intentions is:

The process of signing the magic contract between Li Nuo and the Deep Sea Branch was too easy and fast, as if everything was going according to his wishes.

Li Nuo thought deeply about it, and it should be that the bait he put down in the magic contract had taken effect.

The magic scrolls he provided, "Sonic Blast", "Underwater Burning Ray", and "Thundercloud Magic", these three spells, any one of them, were enough to cause wizards to go crazy.

Wizards who are obsessed with magic will definitely try their best to keep these three spells for themselves.

Coincidentally, Li Nuo wrote a punishment clause related to this on the magic contract:

When Li Nuo could not fulfill his promise to "provide a map of the distribution of non-metallic ores", he would either pay a fine of tens of billions of gold coins to the Pomida family, or take out magic items and spell blueprints of equal value as compensation.

Tens of billions of gold coins, Li Nuo did not.

But the spell blueprint, he has.

As long as he finds a way to make Li Nuo break the contract, Mingwak Pomida can use this as an excuse to ask Li Nuo for the blueprint of the three spells.

Uh-huh.

This kind of clause that seems to be unfavorable to Li Nuo was deliberately done by him.

Otherwise, how could he lure Minwak into signing a magical contract with him?

From the reversal of the results, Li Nuo can be sure that Mingwak will sign a magic contract with him only for the sake of the three spells.

From Mingwack's point of view, he is "putting a long line and catching a big fish".

From Li Nuo's point of view, why not.

Li Nuo's approach undoubtedly coexists with crisis and opportunity, which can be called "walking a tightrope".

As long as he can get the secondary plane as soon as possible and have a territory that he is completely under his control, then he can get rid of the "tightrope" and successfully go ashore.

This is the real reason why he regards "obtaining the second plane" as his primary goal. (End of chapter)
