298. The Art of the Forbidden Technique
Li Nuo was in the living room on the first floor of Island 33.
He was just about to test Nicole's alchemy knowledge, but suddenly felt his soul being teased by a palm.
"Wait, Selena looks like she's looking for me."
After Li Nuo finished speaking, he calmed down and contacted Selena.
Nicole tilted her head and asked Dinas suspiciously:
"I've heard you talk about Selena a lot, but who is she?"
"Selena is the manager of Lim's future." Dinas stroked Nicole's little brain and introduced:
"She is now the vice president of the Deep Sea Branch, and she is usually busy dealing with the affairs of the academy. When Li has a secondary plane in the future, she will help Li take care of the secondary plane, which is the job of the manager. β
Nicole let out a meaningful "oh~~~".
"Shh~" Dinas raised her fingers at her lips and said in a low voice:
"Don't disturb Lee and Selena, they're going to get down to business."
Nicole shook her head up and down and made a zipper gesture on her mouth.
Lino didn't talk to Selena for long.
Selena succinctly recounted the events of the duel, emphasizing the anomalies of referee Sydan Bethohan and Wizard of Pure Light Jay Spard.
Selena's biggest concern is that the Pure Light Court is also eyeing Li Nuo's "Thundercloud Technique".
As a wizarding force that is all law enforcement wizards, the Pure Light Court is far more difficult for Linna's father.
They can use some law-conforming but despicable means to forcibly dismantle Li Nuo's "thundercloud technique".
This is not Selena's alarmism.
There are countless similar cases.
Because of this style problem, although the Pale Knights of Justice belong to the Pure Light Court, they have always looked at each other at the wrong time.
Selena sighed softly in "Soul Sense":
"Jarvis, I didn't expect Ronk to strengthen the thunderclouds with lightning energy in a duel. Alas~ he's crazy. β
Li Nuo said in his heart:
"Hmm... Selena, I reminisce about the magical contract I signed with the Deep Sea Branch. Does the contract say that the Deep Sea Branch cannot reveal my secrets to anyone, any force, or any existence unless I have my permission? Am I not mistaken? β
Selena Says:
"There is indeed such a rule. And according to Decree No. 2, the Pure Light Court cannot interfere with magical contracts. Ronk can use the pact as an excuse to avoid Jaspad's questioning. But..."
Li Nuo took the words and said:
But this evasive attitude speaks for itself. Jaspad wasn't stupid, he could recognize Ronker at a glance. In his opinion, Ronk did not speak, which meant that the dark cloud summoned by the other party was created with wild magic. β
"yes, that's what I meant." Selena said.
"That's a real problem." Li Nuo muttered for a few seconds:
"That's it, Selena. Let's take one step at a time, look at one step at a time, and first figure out the attitude of the Pure Light Court and Pale Justice. If we are sure that they have bad intentions, we will prepare. β
"Okay." Selena says:
"Look, then, when Ronk meets with Jespad, should I find a way to sit in? Don't miss out on any important information. β
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded slightly:
"But be careful not to let Jespad and Ronk turn the conversation around your head. If you let Jaspad know that you sold her all the magic scrolls in Ronk's hand, you'd have a headache. β
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
The two exchanged some more details, and then cut off the "soul sense".
Leno came back to his senses and smiled at Nicole and Dinas:
"Let's get on with the lesson. Nicole, let me check how well you've learned alchemy..."
Leno asks Nicole a few questions, and Nicole answers them fluently, showing an unusual memory.
She learned about magic and alchemy at the same time.
Two different systems of knowledge appeared in her mind at the same time, but she did not become confused because of this.
This is enough to show that Nicole's small brain melon is very useful.
Seeing that Nicole's question was not difficult for Nicole, Li Nuo took the other party to the second basement floor, ready to test her hands-on ability.
Noreen welcomed Leno and Nicole's arrival.
It may be that Noreen seems to be honest and doesn't care about Nicole like Dinas, and Nicole likes Noreen very much.
As soon as the two met, they had a big hug.
"Sister Noreen, your illusion body is so soft, like cotton." Nicole hugged each other and shook her body.
Noreen smiled happily and patted Nicole on the back:
"Alright, alright, we'll talk later, you can finish Mr. Jarvis's homework first."
Lino didn't rush Nicole.
He pulled a stool over and sat down at the craftsman's table.
Seeing that Noreen can find satisfaction in Nicole, as its creator, Li Nuo is very gratified.
In the days that followed, Nicole assembled three different mechanical spirits from ready-made parts at the behest of Li Nuo.
Li Nuo also instructed her to depict the alchemy patterns and make a magic array that could spray aerosols.
Nicole completed all the tests without a hitch, and Li Nuo had a clear judgment on her alchemical skills.
Nicole, this girl, should still remember the alchemy she learned in the Dianjin Dynasty family hundreds of years ago.
She didn't learn much, and it wasn't profound, it was all basic, so she was able to complete the basic alchemy training very well.
If Li Nuo's inference can be established, then the ability to assassinate Angel Garoberia is really not small.
He not only restored Nicole's body to the state it was in before accepting the sacrifice of the Dian Jin Dynasty, but also preserved Nicole's memories, instincts, habits, and so on.
This operation is enough to describe it as a miracle.
It's worthy of being a big guy on the mysterious side... Li Nuo secretly sighed.
After lunch, before dinner.
Leno and Noreen test a modified projector on the second basement floor.
Nicole played with the machine on the sidelines, and occasionally stopped by to watch.
Dinas meditates in her bedroom, ready for dinner.
Just as the sunset was about to fall into the sea, Li Nuo once again felt the touch of the soul level.
He activated Soul Sensing and asked:
"Selena, how's it going?"
"Eh, Jarvis, things are getting anxious." Selena's voice was a little more melancholy:
"The results of the three duels today are in. The Deep Sea Branch is a win-win. Ronk won two and Jaspad won one. Ronk's first duel and Jespad's one convinced the Pangula family to lose, because Pangura sent out the Eight-Ring Battle Wizard, not the Nine-Ring.
"Only Ronke's second duel caused a lot of controversy in the Pangula family. However, they didn't see the details of the thundercloud, and just protested to the referee. β
Leno sends Nicole to Noreen and asks the female assistant to play with her, while he sits in a chair and communicates one-on-one with Selena.
Selena continued:
"This is not the end of the matter. After Ronk sent Dietrich away, Jay Sparder came back to him.
Jay Sparder is even more shameless.
He said that he might have a hard time facing the nine-ring battle wizard of the Pangula family, and hoped that Ronk could lend him a magic scroll to use.
And, he named the kind of magic scroll that could summon dark clouds. If Ronk didn't give him, he couldn't guarantee that he would win the next match. β
Li Nuo saw the shamelessness of the Pure Light Wizard, and couldn't help but secretly speak.
Sure enough, when it comes to the mysterious magic of the gods, no wizard can resist the temptation.
In the face of wild magic, it is inevitable to show one's true nature and minions.
Who wouldn't want to have a magic that can increase their power just by pouring energy?
"For the sake of the victory of the Deep Sea Branch, Ronk can only resist these pressures. He's kind of asking for trouble, Selena. Li Nuo said.
"Well, who's to say it's not. He ended up giving Jay Spard a magic scroll. Selena asked worriedly:
"What if the Pure Light Court also has the idea of 'Thundercloud Technique'?"
Li Nuo's mind was full of thoughts, and many thoughts came up to exchange information on the sub-plane with the "Thundercloud Magic Scroll", and even directly obtain the sub-plane.
But soon, these thoughts were dispelled by him.
As a wild magic, "Thundercloud Magic" is rare and powerful, but it is not enough for a large wizard force to exchange its magic scrolls for the secondary plane.
If you want to change it, it has to be something like a spell blueprint to be able to bear the weight of the last plane.
Li Nuo would not hand over the spell blueprint of the "Thundercloud Technique".
So, without thinking too much, he would never be able to harvest the sub-plane with the magic scroll alone.
Can you use the magic scroll to lower the threshold for obtaining the secondary plane...
For example, to give an additional discount to the selling price of the sub-plane, or to remove the condition that you must become a lecturer.
Li Nuo thought that there was a small probability that this plan could be realized, which would require a lot of operation and patience, and maybe it would pay a much heavier price than he imagined.
Li Nuo was just about to say a few words to Selena, but Selena took the lead and said:
"Jarvis! Ronk and I were in the study referencing for tomorrow's appearance when Jaspad came to the door. β
Li Nuo withdrew the words from his mouth and said instead:
"You repeat what Jaspad said."
"Okay." Selena responded.
β¦
β¦
Selena's study.
Jaspad placed the used magic scroll on Selena's desk.
Selena and Ronk sat across from him, feeling a little lost by his arrival.
Jaspad doesn't beat around the bush either.
He pointed to the blank scroll and said in an unpleasant tone:
"Both, I sent the magic scroll to the Pure Light Court. After being tested by the Pure Light Court, the spells recorded on the scrolls were considered forbidden by the Clear Light Court. β
"Forbidden art..."Selena and Ronke were stunned.
Jespad propped his hand on the edge of the table and said in a deep voice:
"You heard it right, this is a forbidden spell in the eyes of the Pure Light Court, a forbidden spell that cannot be cast, enchanted, or imitated. For your safety, on behalf of the Pure Light Court, I oppose your continued use of this spell, otherwise..."
Ronk frowned and was silent.
Selena raised her hand and stopped Jaspad's words:
"Wait, Jaspad. In the Unas Ring Act, there is no such thing as 'forbidden art'. Only once used is it considered illegal 'black magic'. Is the word 'forbidden art' unique to your Pure Light Court? Our spell is not in the list of black arts limited by law. We use it, it doesn't violate the law, right? β
"Yes, but your statement is not accurate."
Jespad straightened up, took a deep breath and said:
"It's true that this spell isn't black magic, but that doesn't mean it can't be black magic."
"What do you mean?" Selena frowned.
"Dark magic is not inherently black magic. It's only because someone has done something out of the ordinary with these spells that these spells are defined as black magic. Jespad said righteously:
"Reading memories", "Memory tampering", "Imposing desires", "Dominating the will", etc., etc. These weird, low-barrier magic spells have become black magic because they are easy to be abused and misused. Are you right? Lady? β
Jaspad pointed to the blank magic scroll:
"Forbidden art is a broader concept that encompasses both black magic and spells that have the potential to become black magic. The spell you use can increase its power by simply increasing the energy input. This is a very dangerous phenomenon. It clearly has the potential to become dark magic, and is considered forbidden by us in the Pure Light Court. β
Jaspad stared at Ronk and said:
"Unless your Deep Sea Branch can find a way to restrain its magical powers, the Pure Light Court will propose to the Witch Council that this spell of yours be included in the list of dark arts."
"How can youβ" Selena almost went berserk, but luckily Ronk held her down in time.
"Wait, Selena." Ronk hurriedly comforted his sister and said:
"I'll take Jaspad to my father. This kind of thing is beyond our reach. β
Selena forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, tightened her face, and nodded.
Ronk stood up and raised his hand to point at the miniature ocean:
"Please follow me, Jespad. Let's talk in another place. β
Jaspad seemed to anticipate that Ronk would communicate privately with him.
He nodded at Selena and followed Ronk into the Miniature Ocean.
"Whoa~~" The water turned over, and only Selena was left in the study.
"Whew~~~" Selena slackened her shoulders like a deflated balloon.
She simultaneously relayed to Li Nuo what had happened here.
Li Nuo thought for a moment and said with "soul induction":
"Selena, I have a task for you. Later, if only Ronk returns, you can crush the magic crystal I gave you and place the "tracking marker" inside on your body. I need to open the "Psychic Horizon" and observe Ronk with the help of "Knowing Everything". During this time, you must gaze at Ronke, and let Ronk attribute the mental reaction caused by the "Psychic Vision" to your gaze. β
"Okay... Jarvis..."Selena picked up the blank scroll on the table, shook her head, and pulled herself together:
"Did Ronk call Jaspad away alone to talk about wild magic?"
"Probably yes." ζθ―Ί says:
"There are very few wizards who know wild magic. They form a small fixed circle, which includes super-holy wizards and senior holy wizards like your father and eldest brother. Jaspad should also know the concept of 'wild magic'. But because you're there, he has a lot of things he can't say to Ronk, so he has to avoid you. β
Selena rubbed the corners of her eyebrows:
"You just said that wizards who know wild magic form a fixed circle? Are you in this circle? β
Li Nuo sneered:
"I'm not in this circle, I know it through other means."
Li Nuo comforted Selena a few words, and when the other party's mood improved, he cut off the "soul sense".
In fact, he also felt a little distressed in his heart.
The attitude of the Pure Light Court made it clear that there was no waiting for wild magic.
It may be trying to occupy a place for itself, or it may simply want to turn Thundercloud into magic.
In any case, the plan to purchase the secondary plane with the "Thundercloud Magic Scroll" should not work.
It's really sad~~
Li Nuo shook his head slightly, sighing from the bottom of his heart.
His sad look was noticed by Nicole.
This little girl hugged the spider machine spirit, came to Li Nuo's side, tilted her head and asked:
"What's wrong with you, Jarvis, you look upset."
Li Nuo squeezed out a smile and said:
"It's a bit of a low mood indeed. It's too worrying to get a piece of the secondary plane these days. β
"The secondary planeβ" Nicole blinked wide, her amber pupils filled with confusion:
"Dinas seems to have mentioned this before. So what is a sub-plane, it sounds very powerful. β
Noreen pushed the frame of her glasses in a curious baby shape, apparently not knowing much about the sub-planes either.
Only then did Li Nuo remember that he had not yet popularized this knowledge to the other two.
He simply beckoned the two of them to sit down, and compared the information in his mind to the information of the second plane.
Noreen and Nicole still have some understanding of the concepts of "gold coins" and "wizard ring level".
Buying a barren small sub-plane would cost hundreds of millions of gold coins, and an equivalent amount of gold would have to be taken out to purchase a plane device.
The cost was astronomical, and it shocked Noreen and Nicole.
No wonder Li Nuo is worried about this.
Just when the two of them thought that it was the gold coins that stumped Li Nuo, Li Nuo talked about the hard conditions for obtaining the secondary plane.
"What really stumped me was the wizard ring level and seniority..."Li Nuo recounted the distress in his heart.
Nicole held her head and asked:
"Then why do you need the sub-plane so desperately? I think Island 33 is a good place here. β
Li Nuo smiled:
"Because the sub-plane is safer than the island, Nicole, safe in every sense of the word. When our body is in the second plane, we don't need to go into the natural world ourselves, we just need to send a magical clone that carries our consciousness. The death of the magic clone will not be transmitted to our body, and at most we will suffer for a while.
"Come to think of it, doesn't that equate to a lot of lives?"
"I think so..."
Nicole said with a wink.
Noreen nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.
