"How could the Deep Sea Branch do that?" Dinas said angrily:

"These spells are all researched by Li Nuo himself, and he is willing to share them with the Deep Sea Branch for a fee. But the Deep Sea Branch wants to delve into his spells, isn't this kind of behavior too despicable..."

Li Nuo raised his hand and pressed Dinas's shoulder, and said softly:

"Don't be angry, Dinas. Little things. The practice of the Deep Sea Branch is normal, and if it were me, I would also find a way to get rid of the constraints of the other party. ”

"Hmph," Dinas snorted angrily:

"Anyway, I just can't get used to the practice of the Deep Sea Branch..."

Leno touched the back of Dinas's head and looked at Selena, who was staring at him:

"You too, Selena, don't be angry, don't worry. I envisioned this situation.

"According to the Decree of Unas Ring No. 1, the inventor of any extraordinary creation will have absolute control over it only after it has been approved by the Ministry of Magic.

"The things I invented, such as thunderclouds, magic transistors, and mechanistic spirits, have not been approved by the Ministry of Magic, and they are not protected by law. The practice of the Deep Sea Branch makes logical sense and is legal at the legal level, but it will be flawed at the moral level. ”

Selena says:

"The matter of mobilizing the battle wizard has always been the responsibility of Ronk. He only told me today that there would be two ill-intentioned Holy Rank Battle Wizards watching the battle. It was all my father's arrangement. What should we do? ”

"Selena, let me ask you a question first." 李诺 says:

"Hothamus has only heard of my Thundercloud Technique so far, and has yet to see it cast thunder and lightning. In this case, will they be able to create a spell similar to "Thundercloud Magic" based on rumors? In other words, when he can't refer to the success stories, does Hotamus have the ability to develop his own spells? ”

Selena fell into memory:

"Hmm... When developing spells, there are no success stories to refer to, that is, to develop spells entirely by imagination, do you mean that? ”

"Yes." Li Nuo nodded.

Selena shook her head slightly:

"It can't be done, Jarvis. Hotamus had only two ideas for developing spells. Either it is to imitate natural phenomena and invent corresponding spells. Either so, they delve into extraordinary abilities that are not protected by the laws of the Unas Ring, and use magical means to reproduce them to create spells or magical devices. Without references, Hotamus couldn't have invented spells. ”

Selena paused and asked:

"Do you want me to get rid of those two Holy Rank Battle Wizards? This... It's hard to do. And the wizards who will appear at the scene of the battle, not only the two of them. Other battle wizards also have the ability to record your spellcasting scenes. They'll still be able to give Hotamus the information he needs to develop his spells. ”

"No, Selena, I didn't want to break anyone up." Li Nuo chuckled:

"There is no doubt that anyone who attempts to imitate Thunderclouds and the Machines will fail. Dinas, you must have felt a lot of feelings. ”

Dinas nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, they will definitely fail. I've helped Li Nuo make a lot of mechanical spirits in the past ten days, and I've also tried to control them. It was clear to me that it was impossible for anyone except Leno and those who had his permission to reproduce the "Thunderclouds" and the Spirits. ”

"Why—" Selena looked down at the mechanical spirit at her feet.

This is a relatively simple alchemical creation.

It is similar in appearance to a water droplet, about half a meter in length and no more than twenty centimeters in diameter.

Its driving force underwater comes from the current array near the tip of its tail.

And its power comes from the capacitor pack on the head, which contains more than 500,000 points of lightning energy, which can instantly penetrate the defense system of the seven-ring battle wizard.

Is it difficult to imitate this kind of thing?

No.

Selena only observed for half a minute before she figured out how it worked.

If Hottamus were to get his hands on Lino's Mechanic, it would take no more than three days for Hotamus to apply for a patent from the Ministry of Magic.

When the time comes, Lenovo, the real inventor, has become a wizard criminal who copied Hottamus.

Thinking of this, Selena's eyes once again appeared worried.

Seeing that she was silent, Li Nuo took out a magic ring from his magic pocket and handed it over:

"Come, Selena. Take this. There are two ways to control the Machine. The first is to use the Golden Federation's Manipulation Gauntlet. The second is the use of mind spells.

"This magic ring I gave you was bought from the market, and it was enchanted with the "Mind Beacon" and "Mind Control" of a Holy Position Mind Wizard. Use this ring to try and control my machine. ”

Selena took the ring, held it in the palm of her hand, and activated it.

Well-informed, she mastered the skills of manipulating the machine spirit without the guidance of Li Nuo.

First, throw out the "Psychic Beacon" to turn the mindless machine into a target for Psychic Spells.

Second, throw "mind control" at the machine spirit and seize control of it.

"Ahh

She forcibly interrupted the spell, agitated the full moon, gasped for several breaths, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

Dinas wiped Selena's sweat with a handkerchief and said:

"How? Feel the backlash on the spiritual level. The principle of mind spells is to use one's mind as a spear to deal with enemies. While inflicting harm on the minds of others, our own minds will also suffer from the backlash effect.

"The "mind control" of the Holy Position Mind Wizard can minimize the effect of backlash, but it will still suffer from severe psychic backlash when controlling the machine spirit.

"And the phenomenon of soul backlash ignores the psychic protection pendant and the "psychic shield". Even if you wear the spiritual protection pendant of the Holy Throne, you can't stop the soul from backlashing. ”

Selena's face turned pale, and she rested for more than ten seconds before she calmed her trembling heart.

Looking at the mechanical spirit at her feet again, she gradually figured out what Li Nuo's confidence was:

"I see."

Selena raised her head, and her eyes shone with a glint of enlightenment:

"Thunderclouds and mechanical spirits, which are extraordinary things that you have created, are not the point. Your psychic spells are the most important thing, and only if you can resist the psychic backlash effect of manipulating them. ”

"Well, that's right." Li Nuo nodded.

"What about the meta-reactor and the magic transistor...", Selena asked again.

"They don't need psychic spells to manipulate. And how can we protect them? ”

Li Nuo's expression became a little more serious:

"Meta-reactors and magic transistors, once they fall into the hands of outsiders, there will be a risk of being copied by others. That's what it's all about me to make a soul contract with you. I can't completely eliminate the appearance of imitations, so I can only delay this as much as possible. ”

Li Nuo's tone accentuated a few points.

Selena and Dinas got serious, too.

李诺 says:

"So far, the only people who know about metareactors, magic arc furnaces, and magic transistors are me, Dinas, Selena, and Noreen. Eve Mastin, the demon wizard I had arranged to protect Dinas, has also been dismissed from my employment. The four of us are the only ones who have access to things like metareactors. ”

Li Nuo's gaze wandered over the faces of the two:

"I trust you so much that I invite you to work with me to improve and use my magical creations. I don't want any magical creations to leak out and be controlled by anyone other than the four of us or something. ”

"I'm not going to do such a stupid thing, Jarvis, trust me." Selena said solemnly.

"Uh-huh! Me too. Dinas exclaimed, "Me too."

"Well, I know you won't betray me, that's why I chose you as my partner." Li Nuo dissipated the serious look on his face and said with a smile.

Selena asked:

"Are we going to apply for a patent from the Ministry of Magic? With a patent, your magical creations can be protected by the Unas Ring. ”

Li Nuo shook his head slightly:

"No, Selena. I'm not going to look to Unas Ring for protection. In fact, I don't feel much of a sense of belonging to the Unas Ring. When I get to the secondary plane, I'll take you and disappear. At most, I was responsible for sharing some of the academic work for Professor Erica and becoming a lecturer. Other than that, I don't have the slightest interest in anything else inside the Unas Ring. ”

Selena's eyes lit up:

"I knew you thought so."

The light in Selena's eyes dimmed a little more:

My father, however, apparently did not think so. He thinks you're scheming, scheming, and very good at hiding yourself. ”

Li Nuole smiled and said:

"I haven't met your father, but judging by your words, he should be a very strong man. Especially now that I have some important spells and magic items, it is easy for someone like me to become a thorn in his side. Don't worry too much, Selena. Time will tell. ”

"That's right! Lee was right. Dinas patted Selena on the back of her hand:

"I have been following Li Nuo for a long time, and I know him the best. When he took me out of Convergence City, he said that winning more or less at the poker table is a trivial matter, and being able to leave in time with the money won is the real skill. Your father thinks that Li Nuo is far-sighted, but he is actually such a person. You see, when Li Nuo gets the second plane, he will definitely leave the Suman Islands without saying a word. When the time comes, it doesn't matter if it's the Deep Sea Branch or Hotamus, you won't be able to keep him if you want to. ”

Li Nuo looked at his companion witch with appreciation, and his eyes were full of appreciation:

"Yes, yes, Dinas understands me very well."

"Hee-hee~" Dinas smiled sweetly.

"But, Jarvis... From what I know about my father, I'm afraid he won't stop there, even if you show weakness, it's useless..."Selena said wistfully.

"Well, what you said also makes sense, we can't pin our hopes on your father's noble hands."

Li Nuo clapped his hands and pointed to the mechanical spirit beside him:

"So, let's get moving. Complete tomorrow's mission beautifully and crush the queen's realm with hard power. ”

Energetic, Dinas pulled out her alchemy tools and began to repair the defects of the mechanical spirit.

Selena's movements slowed a few beats, apparently worried about what her father had done.

Li Nuo stopped her and said:

"The majesty and strength of your father are engraved in the depths of your consciousness like a brand, Selena. Don't let the instinctive reactions you've developed over the decades interfere with your thinking and decision-making. As long as you put your heart into it, you will naturally see the results you expect, I assure you. ”

Selena pursed her lips and nodded.

"Very good, you go and deal with that pile of mechanical spirits, their water flow array needs to be adjusted, and the direction of the jet water flow is a little crooked."

Li Nuo pointed to the mechanical spirit on the side and gave Selena a command.

Selena restrained her uneasiness and threw herself into her work.

Li Nuo looked at the other party's figure and rubbed his chin.

A woman like Selena, he had met before the crossing.

The conditions are excellent, the ability is strong, and the old age is not married.

On top of this, Selena also has a strong father.

Anyone who catches her attention has to weigh whether he can handle her father.

If Leno can't perform better than her father, or get his father's approval, then Selena will never be able to escape her father's control.

Li Nuo was not disgusted by this.

Strategy is not a problem, and there is no one correct solution.

Adapting to the situation is the true meaning.

Selena's father's family is a big business, and Li Nuo really can't compete with him in a short time.

However, Li Nuo "turned around with a small boat", and ran away if he could earn it.

"Hey, hey." Li Nuo smiled secretly in his heart:

"Minwak Pomida, Selena's father, you were very wrong when you thought I was going to go to fight you, I was ready to slip away.

"You think I'm going to bite Island 33 to the death?

"I'm sorry, I just planted a big bomb here."

Li Nuo restrained the smile in his heart, looked at his feet, his gaze penetrated the floor, and landed on the fourth and fifth floors of the basement.

There, Selena's magical minions are busy, hurrying to build intricate energy pipelines.

Li Nuo wants to make Island 33 a base for launching thunderclouds, and that's true.

If his cooperation with the Deep Sea Branch goes well, then the thunderclouds launched from here will provide strategic services to the Deep Sea Branch and bring him a steady stream of wealth.

But what if he broke with the Deep Sea Branch, or even turned into a hostile relationship?

Wow Ka Ka ~

Then this No. 33 island is a place that can explode at any time.

It will tell Selena's father where Li Nuo's confidence lies.

Island 33, one with two sides, is both a base for launching thunderclouds and a shocking bomb.

Li Nuo is holding a heavy weapon, attacking and defending.

…

…

In the blink of an eye, three days passed in a flash.

In the morning, the weather was clear.

Today is the day when Yoxim and the others make offerings to the Siren Kingdom on the 13th sub-sea area of the Starfall Sea.

The hustle and bustle of the Suman Islands reached its peak with the arrival of this day.

The Deep Sea Branch is a first-class magical institution in the Suman Islands, tasked with studying spells, maintaining local order, and adjudicating wizard criminals.

However, it is not a subordinate and dominant relationship between it and many wizarding forces in the Suman Islands.

The Deep Sea Branch can advise and request what wizarding forces should or should not do, but they cannot restrict any lawful actions of the other party.

Yokosim is the head of the Mantas family in the local area and represents the wealthy Mantas family.

In his eyes, his practice of offering magic stones to the Kraken was not colluding with the enemy, but buying services.

Yes, purchase services.

He drew up a magical contract specifically for this purpose.

He, along with the wizarding forces he summoned, is Party A of this magical contract, and the Kraken Kingdom is Party B.

The two sides agreed that Yokosim and others would pay a large amount of magic stones to purchase security services in the waters around the Suman Islands such as the "Treasure Sea" to avoid "Kraken attacks".

After the Kraken obtains the Magic Stone, it will issue a pass woven by the Kraken Magic to each wizard faction that purchases this service.

Wizard forces with this pass will not be enemies of the Kraken with their ocean-going ships.

Did Yoxim and others violate the Unas Ring Ordinance by doing this?

It is difficult to say whether it is violated or not.

The reason is simple.

The pass given by the Kraken will indicate the sea area that will be protected from the Kraken's attack:

The Suman Islands are bordered by the Treasure Sea to the north, the Stormy Sea to the south, the Black Fold Sea to the west, the Great Sea to the east, and many other seas around the continent of Cahill.

These seas are not the territory of the Unas Ring.

They don't belong to anyone, to any extraordinary forces.

In this world, they are like the high seas.

Whether or not Yoxium and others paid the Kraken for services on the high seas violated the Unas Ring Decree has become a hot topic of controversy in the Suman Islands and the Unas Ring recently.

There was a lot of discussion among others, waiting to see the good show of the Deep Sea Branch.

The Deep Sea Branch kept a low profile, barely stopping Yorksim from summoning a wizard force to raise magic stones.

Moreover, as a local first-level magic organization, the Deep Sea Branch really failed to clean up the Kraken and maintain order as it agreed with many wizarding forces.

The Deep Sea Branch was at fault first.

The act of purchasing services from the Kraken is the result of the incompetence of the Deep Sea Branch.

With this in mind, Yoxim said that many wizarding forces belittled the Deep Sea Branch and followed him to buy services from the Kraken.

Sub-sea No. 13, this sea belonging to the Channar family, at this time, the shadows of the ships gathered, gathering the fleets of many wizarding forces.

Rape Channar of the Chanal family, on the advice of the Deep Sea Branch, acquiesced in the gathering of wizarding forces on their own territory.

He was one of the very few family leaders who knew that the Deep Sea Branch would launch a counterattack.

In order to cooperate with the deep-sea branch to put on a good show, he specially arranged several maritime patrol fleets to maintain order at the edge of the No. 13 sub-sea area.

On the surface, it was to prevent the Kraken from treacherously, taking the magic stone and not signing the contract, but in fact, he was preventing the wizard force fleet in the 13th sub-sea area from sneaking away.

This is an instruction from the Deep Sea Branch.

Rappe Chanal didn't know exactly what the Deep Sea Branch would do.

He only knew that he must not let his maritime patrol fleet step into the No. 13 sub-sea area, otherwise it would inevitably disappear.

Again, this suggestion comes from the Deep Sea Branch. (End of chapter)
