The same time that Leno and Dinas were making the capacitor pack.

Selena's study.

Selena sat back in her chair, in front of a dozen magic pens that wrote words quickly.

The sound of writing is continuous, smooth and urgent.

Letter after letter was sent by her with a magical messenger, and letter after letter was sent by a magical messenger and placed on her desk.

As a busy strong woman, Selena has twenty magical messengers.

These trailing bubble tails, white shells suspended in the air, do only two things - teleport to drop the envelope, and hold another letter to teleport away.

Cycle after cycle, cycle after cycle, day after day.

After more than ten days of work, it was not until the day when Yokosim made an offering to the Kraken that the speed of the letter calmed down.

Selena pinched her eyebrows with her white fingers and slowly rubbed them, sighing lightly:

"Well, when I became the manager of Jarvis, I shouldn't be so busy. It's a real headache. These days, I've even been meditating in my study, and I've spent a full third less time meditating. If this continues, how long will it be before I can be promoted to the Ten Rings..."

"Bang la la~" The sound of water came from a miniature ocean.

Selena looked over and saw the rippling water, which meant that someone was trying to teleport to her.

There were very few people who could teleport directly to her study, either relatives or important members of the Ministry of Magic and the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department.

Selena took a slight breath, straightened her clothes, and threw a jet of water into the swaying ocean of miniatures.

The miniature ocean shrank, and a figure spat out with a pop.

This person is a burly man, wearing the dark blue robe of the Deep Sea Branch, and there are some slight similarities between his eyebrows and Selena.

"Brother, why are you here? Having trouble summoning a battle wizard? ”

When Dinas saw that it was her eldest brother, she leaned back in her chair and relaxed.

Ronkra opened his chair and sat down across from his sister:

"It's okay to summon the Battle Wizard, Selena, we're ready for tomorrow's battle. I'm here for other things. ”

"Uh-huh, let's say, what's the matter? If you want to negotiate the price of the "Sonic Shock Magic Scroll", then I'm afraid I can't help, the price of the scroll is already very low. Selena took a sip from her teacup.

Ronk shook his hand:

"It's not about it... I'll be blunt, I just got back from my father. He thinks we're pretty much fine with the magical contract we signed with Jarvis. ”

"In general?" Selena chuckled:

"It's generally fine, doesn't that mean there's a serious problem? Say, which one does my father want to change? I'll talk to Jarvis. ”

"No, he didn't mean to modify the magic contract." Ronk pondered his sentence for a moment and said:

"He thinks... Belch... Hey, it's a bit of a hard time for me to talk about this..."

Ronk looked like he was constipated...

Selena frowned:

"What exactly do you want to say? Brother. How did you twist and pinch today. ”

Ronk lowered his head and gasped, plucked up his courage and looked up, and said:

"Father said that considering that Jarvis may have more influence in the Deep Sea Chamber, or even in the Hortamus and Unas Rings in the future, we need to prepare in advance to avoid an unequal position between the two sides."

Selena frowned:

"What do you mean? What is the father going to do? Is there another longer-term magical contract with Jarvis? I can go and talk to Jarvis.

"But, seriously, my father didn't think about it. Jarvis was only thinking about running his sub-plane. Based on what I know about him, he would at most like to be a professor in the future. He has no interest in such things as a councilor professor and entering the Ministry of Magic. So how can this be influenced? ”

Ronk looked at Selena and asked himself, and smiled bitterly:

"Your reaction is exactly what my father expected. That's where Jarvis is most difficult. Father said that Jarvis not only has a far-reaching plan, but also has a knack for hiding his true intentions. He also said that Selena, a silly girl, who was now only thinking about getting rid of the mess in the Suman Islands, would definitely believe what Jarvis said and refute me for Jarvis. You see, my father got it all. ”

Selena folded her arms, crossed one leg, and looked up at the ceiling, looking like she didn't want to deal with the other party:

"What if my father said it all, brother. Unless you can sort out all the troubles in the Suman Islands, there will never be peace here, and I'll go with Jarvis. ”

Ronk scratched at his hair, clearly distressed by his sister's words:

"It's the result of Jarvis' careful lay-up, Selena. Please bear with me, Jarvis's layout is so deep that it wasn't until my father and I analyzed these things that I suddenly realized how secretive Jarvis's layout was. If you don't believe me, you should always believe my father, who has lived for more than 200 years and must know more than us. ”

"Okay, you say." Selena propped her head on the armrest.

"That's right," Ronke paused:

"The main crisis here in the Suman Islands was caused by the Siren Kingdom of Estano, right?"

"Yes." Selena nodded lazily.

"There are three main threats to us from the Kraken Kingdom." Ronk snapped his fingers and said:

"First and foremost is the Kraken Queen's magical realm, followed by a large number of Kraken armies, and finally a large number of legendary deep sea monsters. Something like the Wizard of Dire Sail is at best a petty fight, and it is difficult to shake the foundation of the Deep Sea Branch. ”

"Uh-huh.." Selena snorted in response.

Ronk continued to snap his fingers:

"First, the Queen's Domain. In ten days, Jarvis will show us his ability to break the Queen's realm..."

Selena chimed in:

"Yes, and once he succeeds, he will be paid to provide strategic services to the Deep Sea Branch, breaking down more of the Queen's Realm for the Deep Sea Branch. Not only the strategic service of breaking the Queen's realm, but also the magic scrolls against the Kraken army, the legendary deep sea monsters, thunder and lightning spells, etc., Jarvis will provide them for the deep sea branch for a fee through me. These things are written on the magic contract. ”

"Hear me out, Selena, I know what you're talking about." Ronk shook his hand and said:

"Don't you think it's a very dangerous thing for these things that can affect the future of the Deep Sea Branch to be in the hands of outsiders? If we can't get rid of Jarvis's influence, we'll have to buy his magic scrolls all the time.

"If he wants to cooperate with other branches and other wizarding forces, then as long as he uses the Deep Sea Branch as an example, won't he be able to easily gain trust? In a sense, our Deep Sea Branch has become an exhibit for him to sell magic scrolls in the future. ”

Selena let out a long sigh:

"Eh, after all that, I kind of understand what my father meant. He hoped that in the future, when Jarvis used the case of the Deep Sea Branch to sell the scroll, he would take the Deep Sea Branch to get a piece of the pie, right? Or maybe his father actually intended to help Jarvis expand the sales of the scrolls, but only if Jarvis made a new magical contract with him, right? ”

Ronk didn't speak, just pursed his mouth and looked at Selena, who turned into the constipated look he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.

Selena was stunned for a moment, and suddenly she came back to her senses!

"Wait! What did you just say? 'In the hands of outsiders'? 'Outsiders'? ”

Selena's delicate body trembled, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Ronk breathed a sigh of relief and grinned:

"Haha~ I knew you could understand what your father meant. That's right, Father wants you to marry Jarvis. Only then can our relationship be stronger. Of course, this will have to be discussed after Jarvis breaks the Queen's realm. I'm here today just to give you a heads-up so that you can be prepared. ”

Selena couldn't cry or laugh, and shook her head again and again:

"Impossible, brother. It's completely impossible. ”

"Is it because of the companion witch? Don't worry about that. According to Unas Ring Decree No. 2, the presence of a companion witch does not affect marriage within the meaning of the decree. Ronk persuaded.

Selena Says:

"No, brother, I want to say that Jarvis will not marry anyone, including me and Dinas."

"How do you know?" Ronk opened his mouth.

"It's my gut feeling."

Selena interrupted the other party and said in an accentuated tone:

"You don't have to dig deeper. My instincts have always been accurate. He and I may have a development beyond the ordinary level, but you don't have to think about the marriage. If the father wants to deepen the cooperation, it is better to choose the magic contract rather than the marriage. ”

Ronk was speechless and silent for a few seconds:

Alas, it seems that my father was right, he expected that he would not be able to marry, so he took countermeasures in advance.

Selena frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable:

"What countermeasures?"

Ronk rubbed his palms and said:

"This time, there are two Holy Throne Battle Wizards who have been invited to sit in the town. They were invited by their father.

The two of them retired from Hotamus many years ago and became "Hidden Wizards".

"One is a holy thunderbolt wizard named Benchi Jacklei. The other is a Holy Wind Wizard named Clint Wind Hawk.

"When they heard that someone in the Deep Sea Branch had developed a high-powered thunder and lightning spell and a wind spell, they accepted their father's invitation to come and watch the battle, and helped by the way."

"Thunder .. Wind Eagle" Selena frowned and said:

"How come I haven't heard of these surnames."

"It's normal, Selena. When the two of them retired, they erased all the family and personal information from the academy's books. The other hermit wizards did the same, and they all cleaned up all the text related to themselves before retiring. ”

Ronk spread his hands and said:

"Since it was impossible to convert Jarvis into a member of the Pomida family through marriage, my father decided to entrust Hottamus with researching Jarvis's spells in order to weaken his influence on the Deep Sea Branch.

"Those two students of the Holy Throne Battle Wizards now happen to be professors, mentors, or weavers who specialize in developing spells. Once the two of them have collected spell data on the spot, they will hand it over to Hottamus to assist in the development of spells. That's it. That's what my father arranged. ”

Selena seemed a little angry:

"But why didn't my father try to sign a contract with Jarvis?! I haven't discussed this with him yet, and you're going to steal his spells?! ”

"No, it's not plagiarism, it's borrowing and R&D."

Ronke hurriedly reassured:

"Don't be impulsive, Selena. Father doesn't want to break with Jarvis, and he doesn't want to interfere with your relationship with Jarvis. You must know that if you want to fight for greater benefits and fairness in things like signing a magic contract, you have to make sure that you have enough bargaining chips in your hands.

"The spells that Hottamus has researched may not be as powerful as Jarvis, but they can still help us equalize Jarvis.

"Moreover, in extreme cases, after we have the spell developed by Hothamus, we will not fall in front of the Kraken because we have lost Jarvis's magic scroll.

"You don't want your family and your academy to be controlled all the time... Belch.. Subject to Jarvis, right? Do you think your father is right? ”

"Heh..."Selena was silent for a long time, and sneered inexplicably:

"My father is still so shrewd. He can manipulate the family members, he can calculate me and you, but it was a mistake for him to hit Jarvis on the head. He won't succeed. ”

Ronk exhaled dullly:

"Selena, father, this is just protecting the family. After all, no one dares to guarantee that Jarvis will use strategic services as a springboard to shake his father's position in the future. We need to prevent the worst. ”

"You're underestimating Jarvis..."

Selena was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ronk.

"Selena. I'm just here to remind you, not to argue with you. Neither you nor I can change anything. ”

Ronk says:

"Hmm... Finally, my father asked me to bring you a word.

"He said, 'In this world, there is no one who is irreplaceable, only the knowledge in our minds will always follow us'.

"After all, Jarvis was able to get a piece of the island from the Deep Sea Branch because he had more knowledge. When we learn his knowledge, then he will..."

Ronk waved his hand and didn't finish his sentence.

He looked at Selena, who was distracted, and stood up, turning into a stream of water and burrowing into the miniature ocean when she came.

Selena was stunned for a while, and the look on her face changed from vague anger to sadness and anxiety.

She stood up on the edge of the table and flew into another miniature ocean as a stream of water.

…

…

Island 33, 3rd basement.

After the construction of the cultivation equipment on the basement level, it will become the place where Nicole grew up.

The second basement floor is Noreen's workshop.

The third basement level has only recently been built, and Leno and Dinas have transformed it into an alchemy workshop for crafting and stockpiling items such as mechanical spirits.

The fourth and fifth basement floors are still under construction. Selena's magical servants estimate that it will take half a month to a month to build these two floors.

At this time, Li Nuo was checking the mechanical spirit made by the two of them with Dinas.

With Noreen as an assistant, the work of mass-manufacturing machines is much easier.

Leno and Dinas are responsible for crafting a large number of parts at once, while Noreen manipulates the finished machine and assembles new ones, creating a situation similar to "robot self-replication".

In just over ten days, they had produced more than 1,500 capacitor pack mechs, as well as several other types of mechs.

Three days later, it was the day when Yoxim made an offering to the Siren.

Today, Leno and Dinas must check the machine spirit to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Of course, the inspection work is mainly in charge of Lino, who has deconstruction, and Dinas is more in charge of repairing the flawed machine spirit according to his instructions.

While the two were busy working, Selena, who had disappeared for several days, flew in through the ceiling window and landed on the wooden floor of the third basement floor.

"Selena, are you done with the academy?"

Li Nuo turned his head and looked at the witch who looked a little wrong.

He leaned down and continued to inspect the machine on the ground, and said:

"If you're not feeling well, take a break. Dinas and I can handle these machines. ”

Selena walked quickly to Li Nuo, who was bent over, with an aggrieved look on her face and tears swirling in her eyes.

Li Nuo heard footsteps and stood up straight to look over.

Looking at Selena's expression and gaze, Li Nuo knew that something was wrong, and quickly stepped on his foot and walked around behind Dinas.

Dinas was crouching on the ground tinkering with the machine spirit.

She suddenly felt that her body was pulled up by the "heart grasp", and then someone pushed forward, blocking between Selena and Li Nuo.

"What are you doing?" Dinas looked at Lino in a daze, not quite understanding the situation.

Turning to Selena again, Dinas saw a tear-stained face.

She put down the alchemy tool in her hand, stepped forward, took Selena's hand, and asked with concern:

"What's wrong, Selena? Why are you crying..."

Li Nuo quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Dinas had stopped Selena.

A deconstruction technique was thrown out of his gaze, and his heart moved slightly, and he saw what had just happened to the other party.

Dinas throws a detection spell at Selena to see if she is hurt.

"I'm not hurt, Dinas. I just encountered something, something that was hard to fight against. ”

Selena calmed down a little, but there were still some tears in her eyes, and it seemed that her mood fluctuations were difficult to calm down for a while:

"My father asked Ronk to bring me a message... He asked Ronk to talk to me about a lot of things, nothing more than trying to force Jarvis to hand over the spell blueprint... I know him well. ”

Dinas took out her handkerchief and gently wiped Selena's tears:

"This sounds tricky, but it's okay, we should trust Lee to take care of it. But why are you crying, I've always thought you're strong..."

Li Nuo finished reading the other party's memory fragments, and after a little thought, he said:

"Hmm... I guessed why. Actually, Selena, you really want to get rid of your father's arrangement, right?

"In your opinion, there is a high probability that I will lose in the confrontation with your father. If I fail, you won't be able to get rid of your father's arrangement. That's why you feel wronged and even cry. ”

Selena Says:

"It's like... It seems like this. ”

Li Nuo smiled and comforted:

"Relax, Selena. There is a saying:

"There is no one in this world who is irreplaceable, only the knowledge in our minds can always accompany us."

Selena's pupils dilated, and her delicate body shook.

Li Nuo went on to say:

"As long as we always make sure that we know better than others, then we can be invincible, right?"

Selena looked at Li Nuo stunned, and the sadness, grievance, and anxiety in her eyes quickly dissipated, replaced by firmness and admiration.

Dinas stroked the back of Selena's hand and said:

"I think Li is right, knowledge is our greatest confidence, and he is the fastest and most solid learner of all the people I have met so far."

Seeing that Selena's mood had stabilized, Leno began to follow the normal social flow, asking about what had happened before, even though he had learned everything through deconstruction.

Selena told the truth, repeating Ronk's statement to Leno and Dinas.

Her father proposed marriage, but Selena didn't say it after much deliberation.

Li Nuo learned about this through deconstruction, and he didn't mention it much, just as if it didn't exist.

Dinas's little brain melon, I can't think of such a deep degree.

But when he heard that Selena's father had commissioned Hottamus to study Lino's spells, no matter how gentle Dinas was, he inevitably felt angry.
