392. Hospitality
The wizarding army of 10,000 people is not just going to crush metal wizards, their real target is the metal progenitor dragon hiding in the shadows.
After the departure of the 10,000-strong army, Unas Ring began to build public opinion.
In the past, people who knew about the existence of the Metal Ancestral Dragon tended to have no restrictions on new moves.
Now, the Ministry of Magic has taken the lead in lifting the veil of mystery and revealing the information of the Metal Ancestral Dragon.
The Ministry of Magic has identified such an old dragon lurking in the midst of the crowd.
It bewitched the Glittering Gold Society, the Holarley Assembly, and several medium- and small-sized wizarding forces, intent on leading metal wizards and magical metal golems to shake the foundations of Unas Ring.
The Metal Ancestral Dragon must not be allowed to obtain the anti-magic materials in the Pollution Domain, otherwise the entire Unas Ring will fall into a situation from which it will never recover.
After receiving the message from the Ministry of Magic, the Caring Men linked it to an incident more than two years ago.
At that time, Hothamus Academy resolutely closed the metal branch, and the headmaster of Hothams even resisted the pressure of the majority of the wizards in the Witch Chief's Council, and put forward a request for a complete blockade of metal magic knowledge.
At this time, looking back at Hottamus's "excessive" actions, the wizards suddenly understood each other's intentions.
An old dragon who can dominate metal definitely has the capital to subvert the Unas Ring, after all, every wizard will have at least one metal artifact on their body.
Accessories such as bracelets, metal necklaces, and eye frames are almost like murder weapons that can take one's life at any time.
It is no wonder that the Deep Sea Branch began mining a large number of non-metallic ores as early as two years ago, and the Suman Islands, where it is located, have the capital and obligation to help Hotams tide over the difficulties, as one of the largest reserves of non-metallic ores in the whole world.
An army of 10,000 wizards entered the Pollution Realm to fight against the metal wizards, searching for the whereabouts of the Metal Ancestral Dragon, and outside the Pollution Domain, the price of non-metallic ores finally ushered in a high-pitched main wave.
The exaggeration of the rise in the price of non-metallic ores has made Li Nuo, a man with a large inventory, smack.
He even had the intention of cutting down some non-metallic mechanical spirit production lines and selling non-metallic ores in exchange for soul energy.
But as soon as he thought that he might face the spying of the Super Saint Rank Wizard and the Metal Ancestor Dragon in the future, Li Nuo forcibly suppressed this thought.
"It's cool to just watch the book numbers go up, so let's use all the non-metallic ores to survive..."
Li Nuo sat in the study on the second plane, holding his chin in his hand, reading the inventory report sent by Selena.
The Deep Sea Branch is now crazy for fun.
Whether or not the wizards of the deep sea who are in charge of the mining of non-metallic ores have truly felt the dividends of the tide of the times.
The salary of ordinary deep sea wizards has increased exponentially, and they are busy guarding the non-metallic ore mining sites and mining teams every day.
Due to Li Nuo's previous proper operation, the Kraken did not have time to invade the Suman Islands in a short period of time, and Ronke, a deep-sea wizard in charge of security affairs, has also become the object of being curried over and co-opted by the wizard forces of all parties.
Selena was also in a good mood, thanks to Li Nuo's promise to the Deep Sea Branch as agreed in the magic contract, so that she would not feel guilty about leaving the academy in a few months.
Compared with Ronke's social attributes, Selena has been very introverted recently, basically refusing to participate in all social activities, and spending peace of mind during the transition period.
Her younger brother, the young man named Felik, took over Selena's affairs and became Ronk's henchman, busy all day long.
After Selena was not disturbed by the affairs of the academy, she focused her energy on helping Li Nuo manage the secondary plane.
Selena took care of the work of buying energy transformation circles, buying soul energy, and buying alchemy materials needed to make machine spirits.
It's just that because the semester work of the academy has not yet ended, Selena cannot step down as the vice dean for the time being, and she still has to guard the academy's office every day.
After calculating the value of the inventory of non-metallic ores, she sent it to Li Nuo by messenger, and at the same time proposed a plan that would neither delay the creation of non-metallic mechanical spirits, nor prevent Li Nuo from earning money to buy soul energy:
"We can consider applying for a loan from Wulingcourt, and now that the non-metallic ore trade is so hot, Wulingge will be willing to lend us money even if we don't provide collateral."
Credit loan is it... Li Nuo smiled and responded to the other party with "telepathy":
"Still no, Selena. I don't like to owe money to others. ”
"Well, your ore is up to you." Selena didn't say much.
She looked at the rippling miniature ocean:
"We'll talk about that later. I've got a guest here. ”
Li Nuo nodded, cut off the "telepathy" with the other party, stood up, and silently recited "Enter the labyrinth space", and went to strengthen the defense of the labyrinth space.
On the other side, Selena snapped her fingers towards the miniature ocean after finishing the conversation, approving the visitor's teleportation request.
She thought it was Ronk and Felik coming, but she was surprised to find the Wizard of Light Purifying Light coming out of the miniature ocean.
A team of Pure Light, a total of four Pure Light Wizards, came to a stop in front of Selena.
The leader is the strength of the seven rings, and the rest range from the sixth ring to the fifth ring.
"I didn't receive any requests for a visit from the Pure Light Court today." Selena frowned and looked at the uninvited guests.
The leader of the Purifying Light Team said in an indifferent and indifferent tone:
"According to the Pure Light Law, surprise inspections and investigations do not require prior notice."
"However, according to the regulations of the Deep Sea Branch, visitors must make an appointment in advance." Selena snapped her fingers, activated the miniature ocean, pointed and said:
"Please leave now, I don't welcome uninvited guests here."
The leader of the Pure Light Team stepped forward and said:
"Maybe you're misunderstood. We are not visitors, so we don't have to make an appointment. ”
The team leader raised his hand and waved.
The team behind him was instructed to scatter in all directions, taking out shiny powder and throwing it into the air, teaming up to unleash a powerful detection spell.
The team leader lifted his hood, took off his mask, and revealed his true face:
"I'm Lamont, and I'm tasked with investigating a wanted criminal. Now please answer my question head-on. ”
"I refuse to answer any questions."
Selena moved sharply, drew her wand, and pointed at herself.
A thick curtain of water enveloped her body at once, enveloping her entire body, forming a near-impregnable magical barrier.
The corners of Lamont's mouth rose when he saw Selena resisting the investigation, and he wished that the other party was so uncooperative with his work.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Selena, you've been arrested for resisting the investigation of the Pure Light Court, please come with us to the Inquisition, we will..."
Before Lamont's words were finished, his heart was cold for no reason.
At the same time, the three members of his team trembled, their eyes were dilated, their faces were full of confusion, and their spell casting movements were interrupted.
Shiny sand spilled all over the ground and flowed on the smooth ground.
Lamont wanted to do something, or speak, but found himself unable to move.
Just when he realized that something was wrong, the boundless darkness suddenly took over the entire field of vision.
He could only watch as he was ushered into the pitch-black sub-plane passages, weaving through the bleak and dim landscape.
After about ten seconds, Lamont came back to his senses and suddenly found himself locked in a cage of mysterious runes.
What is this place?!
Lamont looked left and right in horror.
He tried to cast a spell to escape the cage, but he couldn't use the slightest magic power, as if he had degenerated into an ordinary person.
He reached out and touched the cage's fence, and a flash of lightning flashed, and a strong electric shock came down his fingertips to his heart, knocking him to the ground in an instant.
"Hey!! Anyone?!! What is this place!!! ”
Lamont opened his mouth to shout, but found that he couldn't make any sound.
There was a dead silence all around.
As far as the eye can see, there are only mottled stone walls and incomparably solid pillars of cage runes.
A voice of indistinguishable gender and age rang in Lamont's ears:
"You were arrested for pretending to be a wizard from the Pure Light Court. You can't leave this place until you prove yourself. ”
I?
I'm pretending to be a Pure Light Wizard?
Lamont looked confused.
He's a real wizard of pure light, so how can he pretend?
His clothes, his badge, the pure light magic in his body, nothing proves his identity.
However, Lamont looked down...
He wore only the simplest cloth robe, and there was no shelter under the robe.
His clothes and badge were gone.
Not only that, but at this time, he realized that not only had he lost his ability to cast spells, but even the pure light magic power in the spiritual ocean had disappeared.
It's okay to say without a uniform and badge, but if he doesn't have the magic of pure light, and at the same time, he can't use meditation methods to collect the magic of pure light in nature, then he is really no different from ordinary people.
In this case, how can he prove himself?
…
…
Selena's study.
The water curtain that protects Selena disappears.
There was no longer any sign of uninvited guests in the huge study, and the shiny sand on the ground had been taken away.
"You're really neat." Selena shook her head and sighed.
The light and shadow changed dimly, and a figure appeared in the study, it was Li Nuo.
"Of course I'll have to move faster, do I have to wait until those stupid Pure Light Court take you away?"
Leno grinned.
Selena looked at his hippie smile, rolled her eyes and complained:
"You've imprisoned the Wizard of Pure Light, and you can still laugh? Well, we're in trouble. ”
"What Pure Light Wizard?" Li Nuo looked left and right blankly:
"I only saw a few bandits who had forcibly invaded legal territory. Until they can prove their innocence, stay in a cage. ”
Selena rubbed her forehead:
"Aren't you afraid that the Pure Light Court will come to ask for someone?"
Li Nuo pulled out a chair and sat down and said:
"Don't be afraid. They are so arrogant that they really think that they are home wherever they go. If another Pure Light wizard comes to the door, I'll give you your back. ”
Selena looked at Li Nuo's confident appearance, a little melancholy, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said in confusion:
"Strange to say. The Wizard of Pure Light had also looked superior before, and he had never seen such an arrogant and unreasonable person as this time. It's like I'm some kind of criminal. ”
Li Nuo shook his head slightly and said:
"It's a strategy, Selena. The Pure Light Court was overwhelmed by the previous theft, and was full of resentment from top to bottom because it couldn't catch the thief. The higher the status, the more face is needed. In the face of the arrogance of the Pure Light Court, those who are willing to submit to softness will be belittled by the Pure Light Court, and those who are unwilling to submit to softness will be targeted by the Pure Light Court, and finally the identity of the suspect will be confirmed, and only then will compulsory measures be taken for interrogation. ”
Selena frowned and asked:
"Then you're still so tough on those Pure Light wizards? Aren't you afraid of attracting the retaliation of the Pure Light Court? ”
Li Nuo shook his hand:
"Don't worry. I'm not afraid that the Pure Light Court will come to you through the normal procedures to question you, but I'm afraid that they will use despicable methods such as "memory search" against you. You know what I mean? You can ask, I'm sure you're not the first wizard to be treated like this from the Pure Light Court. All wizards who were treated the same would either not dare to resist and be severely humiliated by the Pure Light Court, or they would be taken away to read their memories after taking a defiant move. Being humiliated or being read memories, which one do you want to choose? ”
Selena was a little incredulous:
"The Pure Light Court won't be so excessive, right..."
Li Nuo shrugged:
"It's hard to say."
Li Nuo was not actually intimidating the other party.
He has a basis.
The basis is in his deconstruction of the four Lamontes.
It turned out that when everyone's eyes were focused on the polluted realm, the Pure Light Court was provoking everywhere like a madman, eager to offend all the wizards with heads and faces.
The sorcerer who submits to the Pure Light Court does not dare to speak out to the outside world, lest he expose his humble side.
Because of his insistence on the Pure Light Court's arbitrary investigation of the legitimacy, the wizard who was brought to trial accepted a set of small combos of "reading memories to strengthen the seal", and did not dare to declare to the public that he had been treated unfairly by the Pure Light Court.
After receiving Selena's distress signal, Li Nuo immediately used mind spells to see the situation at the scene, and used deconstruction to grasp the situation.
Yes and only by forcing the Pure Light Court to question Selena by conventional means can we avoid the end of Selena being humiliated or having her memories read.
Therefore, there was Li Nuo's move to arrest and confine all the Pure Light wizards.
If the Pure Light Court wants someone, then please go through the formal channels to talk to Selena calmly.
If the Pure Light Court still wants to overwhelm people, then it doesn't matter, there are empty seats in Li Nuo's labyrinth space to imprison the Pure Light Wizard.
How much comes, how much closes.
Unless Grand Arbiter Paredes comes in person, Leno will "kill" all the Wizards of Pure Light.
This is the confidence that Li Nuo has after mastering unconventional methods such as the sub-plane, "magic theft", and "the veil of the next world (imitation)".
"Write a letter to the Pure Light Court, Selena."
李诺 says:
"Tell them that I have encountered a group of bandits disguised as Pure Light Wizards. After investigation by the Deep Sea Branch, the bandits' pure light robes and badges were forged, and the bandits have now been detained and processed. ”
Selena was stunned:
"You're really not a big deal."
Li Nuo shook his finger:
"It's useless to reason with the Pure Light Court." (End of chapter)
