Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 204: 204. The Serene Knight

There are two types of family banquets in the wizarding world.

One is a party-type banquet with a large number of participants, in the form of a buffet, which is very similar to the "salon event" in Li Nuo's cognition, with social and interaction as the core.

Another kind of banquet is the one that Li Nuo is currently attending. Only the master, servant and specific guests will appear, and no one else will join in. This kind of banquet is called a secret talk banquet, which is relatively private, and the content of the banquet is kept secret by default.

There will not be a situation of eating and talking at a secret banquet. The master, servant and guests had dinner first, and then moved to the reception room, where the secret conversation officially started.

"Thank you for purchasing Miss's five islands, Mr. Jarvis." Kaida acted as the host of the secret talk temporarily, explaining the intention of inviting Li Nuo for his master.

As Al Qaeda's master, the little girl named Xi'an sat upright, nodding from time to time to match Al Qaeda's words.

The two of them had obviously discussed it before the meeting, and Al Qaeda would lead the secret conversation, while Xi'an nodded in agreement, giving Al Qaeda's words the authority of the heir of the family branch.

With a faint smile, Li Nuo accepted the thanks from the other two,

It's quite a coincidence. In the transaction contract, the name written in the column of the seller of the island is "Pangula Family", which does not specify which person in charge within the family.

It wasn't until this time that Li Nuo knew that the five islands that had been excavated for resources that he bought were all under the name of Xi'an.

If you want to ask him why he is looking at this kind of island that has been dug out for resources...then Li Nuo can only answer the word "cheap".

The price of an island like this is only about half of that of an island of the same type and size.

Li Nuo's arrangement in the island hoarding plan is to purchase islands in order from small to large.

Then, such cheap small islands are naturally at the top of the purchase list.

Al Qaeda did not ask Li Nuolian why he bought the five islands. He knew it would be inappropriate to do so.

He wisely avoided this topic, and instead took out a document and handed it to Li Nuo.

"Mr. Jarvis, the list of islands on the Island Exchange will not specify which family leader owns the island. You may know that the Pangula family has two owners in the Suman Islands. Miss Sian is one of them. The other is Miss Sian's cousin, Dickla Fagan, the fifth heir to the family. I have a list here of the islands under Miss Sian's name Information. If you plan to continue buying islands, we hope you will give priority to our islands. After the transaction, we will return 2% of the transaction amount as our thank you gift."

Li Nuo took the list and read it over.

There are 12 islands recorded on the list.

Five of them have already been bought by him, Li Nuo.

The remaining seven are still listed for sale.

These 12 islands have all been mined for resources, and they are all in Xi'an's hands. Reminiscent of the family succession system disclosed by Al-Qaeda, Li Nuo has many guesses in his mind.

"Qaeda, why have the 12 islands under the name of Miss Xi'an been excavated for resources?" Li Nuo asked straight to the point.

Xi'an sat aside and pursed her lips, obviously feeling a little uneasy. Probably worried that Li Nuo would no longer buy her island.

Al Qaeda smiled helplessly, and then slowly explained the cause and effect.

After the family members obtain the inheritance right, they need to accept the family assessment regularly.

After passing each assessment, family members can get resource support.

If you fail one assessment, you will lose resource support until you pass the next regular assessment.

After Xi'an became the twenty-fifth heir, the first regular assessment she faced was to sell the island.

From the islands under the name of Dikla Fagan, the owner of the family drew 12 small islands and handed them over to Xi'an for sale.

Dikla Fagan played a trick, mining all the proven resources on the 12 small islands in advance, and then handed them over to Sian like trash.

Why is Dickla Fagan making things difficult for Sian?

Eh, that's another story.

Al Qaeda continued to explain patiently, in order to prevent Li Nuo from being impatient because of his concealed behavior, which would affect the sale of the island.

Xi'an's magic talent is not metal or rock and soil. According to the family rules, he can only inherit one-fifth of the inheritance.

All that was left of her inheritance was the island where the three of them were now and a small amount of coins that barely survived.

This island is the family territory she inherited from her father.

She moved from the mainland of Cahill to live on the island. She will be head of the family here in the Suman Islands until the island is sold.

As a result, there were two heads of the Pangula family in the Suman Islands.

In order for Xi'an to lose her status as the manager, she must be forced to sell her family territory.

The first step to force Xi'an to give up her family territory is to sabotage her first regular assessment and make her lose resources and support.

Only in this way, Xi'an will have to sell her family territory to the outside world because of her financial difficulties. Of course, the land will not be sold publicly, and members of the Pangula family have priority in buying it.

As long as Dickla Fagan gets the family territory of Sian, he will be the only one in charge here in the Suman Islands.

This is the war of heirs within a large wizarding family. There is no bloodshed, but it is full of calculations.

If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find more hidden places.

For example, why did Xi'an happen to have such a territory inserted in the Suman Islands among the one-fifth of the inheritance that Xi'an inherited?

You must know that the work of distributing the inheritance is done by the head of the family, and the head of the family is usually the first heir of the wizard family.

Going deeper, when Sian was cornered and forced to sell her territory, the person who would buy her land was not necessarily Dikla Fagan.

Li Nuo thought of many things at once, and Al Qaeda and Xi'an were undoubtedly in a carefully woven net.

The ignorant Xi'an may not be aware of her situation, but Kaida, who is over fifty years old, should be able to detect it.

In other words, when Li Nuo bought the other seven islands under Xi'an's name, it was not just as simple as helping the other party to complete the first regular assessment, but also interfered with many people's secret plans.

After Al-Qaeda introduced the cause and effect, he didn't speak any more, leaving Li Nuo the time to think.

There was silence in the reception room.

Xi'an's two small hands pinched the hem of the skirt tangled.

Al Qaeda shook his head slightly at her, signaling to keep quiet.

Xi'an's body froze, and her small hands stopped, but she still tightly grabbed the corner of the skirt.

Li Nuo pondered for a moment and asked a question:

"Qaeda, after completing the first regular assessment, does Miss Xi'an have any plans? Should she continue to stay in the Suman Islands, or live in another place?"

Al Qaeda responded:

"Miss Xi'an intends to move to the Moon Bay Peninsula of Cahill Continent, and has lived there for a long time since then."

"Hmph..." Xi'an hummed slightly dissatisfied, pursed her mouth, looked down at the ground, and muttered the first sentence of the night:

"This is where Dad grew up..."

"Cough." Kaida coughed lightly.

Sian closed her mouth.

"Moon Bay Peninsula..." Li Nuo recalled for a moment, it was the territory of another wizard family, with lush foliage and a thriving population.

The decision to move to Yuewan Peninsula was obviously made by Al Qaeda. Sending Sian to a place like that... oh, I get it.

Li Nuo had played many Paradox games before time travel, and immediately understood Al Qaeda's intentions.

If the prediction is correct, Al Qaeda is going to use the method of marriage to arrange a marriage for Xi'an who will become an adult in the future.

According to the family inheritance system, Xi'an will change the surname of the family branch after getting married, and then break away from the Pangula family. Since then, she has been able to stay away from most of the family disputes and become a lady who wholeheartedly assists her husband.

Al Qaeda really took great pains to live his life safely for Xi'an. It's a pity that Xi'an is still young, so it may be difficult for her to understand how the other party asked her to give up her father's inheritance.

Li Nuo thought about it, nodded to Al Qaeda and said:

"It's a very wise choice, Al Qaeda. For Xi'an, it's the best home for you to arrange this way. But just a 2% rebate is not enough for me to buy the remaining seven islands. What I have to bear The risk is much higher than the 2% rebate."

Why does Maidao take the risk... Xi'an was confused, and looked at her butler in a daze.

Al-Qaeda was already mentally prepared for Li Nuo's answer, he stretched out four fingers:

"4% rebate, no more."

Li Nuo shook his head slightly:

"No, Al Qaeda. Coins don't mean much to me. I want something else."

Al Qaeda's complexion changed slightly, he knew very well that these words were a sign of the lion opening his mouth. What "want some other things", what "coins are meaningless", is nothing more than not enough money.

Faced with the bewildered Xi'an and the vigilant Al Qaeda, Li Nuo raised his hand and shook:

"Don't get me wrong. Let's do this, Al Qaeda. It's getting late, and I think Miss Xi'an is a little tired today. You might as well settle down with Miss Xi'an first, and then we can talk in detail."

Al Qaeda thought for a few seconds, stood up and took Xi'an out of the reception room, and asked the magic servant to send him to the bedroom.

Only Li Nuo and Al Qaeda were left in the reception room.

Without Xi'an present, the two can speak openly.

"What do you want? Mr. Jarvis. Solicit a loan from Wuling Pavilion in the name of the family heir? Or open a workshop in the name of Xi'an?" Al Qaeda thought about many things in his mind, most of which were the same as when he served Xi'an's father in the past. about what you've seen.

Li Nuo waved his hand:

"No, Al Qaeda. I'm not interested in these speculative practices. I want to discuss the way of chivalry with you."

Al Qaeda froze for a moment, and the vigilance in his eyes grew stronger:

"You know who I am..."

"Yes, I know who you are. No one would have imagined that the famous "Knight of Peace" 30 years ago has now become the steward of the descendants of the downtrodden family branch. It seems that a lot of things have happened between you and Xi'an's parents, you are willing to remain anonymous and serve them and their descendants until now. "

Li Nuo looked as usual, while reading the deconstruction results in his mind, he had a fluent conversation with Al-Qaeda.

When he was talking to the other party before, out of curiosity, he spent 2200 energy points to deconstruct the other party.

If you don't deconstruct it, you don't know that the white-haired old man in front of you is actually the knight of peace that has been recorded in many wizarding textbooks such as "The Foundation of Magic" and "The Way of the Wizard".

In this world dominated by wizards, a knight can be recorded in a wizard's textbook, which is enough to show how outstanding this knight's personal strength is.

A knight in the wizarding world is also a wizard in a sense, and the difference between the two is broad and narrow.

A wizard in a narrow sense refers specifically to a spellcaster who extracts magic power from natural phenomena, stores magic power with the spiritual ocean, and then uses the spell blueprint to cast the magic power.

In a broad sense, any Extraordinary who uses magic can be called a wizard.

The difference between the broad sense and the narrow sense lies only in how to use magic power.

Knights in this world can also use magic.

Their thinking is different from that of wizards.

Soul energy, life force, and physical strength, the three innate natural forces of human beings, can all be used to drive magic.

Wizards use their souls to drive magic.

Knights use physical strength to drive magic.

Wizards use spell blueprints to channel magic, knights use martial arts.

The wizard uses the spiritual ocean to contain magic, and the knight uses the internal organs.

Different from the spiritual ocean of a wizard, which can only accommodate one or a few kinds of magic power, the internal organs of a knight can each hold a kind of magic power after a long period of training.

The magic power in the body is mixed, and the internal organs will be eroded by magic power from time to time. These two factors are intertwined, and it is destined that the knight will bear a greater physical burden in the process of becoming stronger.

Generally speaking, the young and middle-aged stage is the peak period of the Cavaliers. After that, even if food and tonics are arranged, it is still difficult to resist the traces left by the years and magic power on the body.

For this reason, no knights who have entered the outer space have yet appeared.

At present, the way of chivalry has almost withdrawn from the stage of history.

The knight order that can still maintain the form of a group has one and only the subordinate forces of the Court of Pure Light called "Pale Justice".

All other knight orders, no matter how long they have been passed down or how glorious they were, have all entered a state of withering personnel.

The situation of the knights in this world is somewhat similar to that of the witcher in the "Witcher" series of games, but not the same.

In the Witcher series of games, witchers are a remarkable race created by powerful spellcasters.

But in this world, knights, like wizards, are Extraordinary beings born from natural evolution.

At the moment when the way of chivalry is declining day by day, the techniques mastered by knights have not disappeared, but have been absorbed and transformed into magic by wizards.

In a sense, the way of chivalry has been continued by wizards in the name of magic.

The most typical one is the "Silent Girl" where Li Nuo is now.

Erica, the main professor, was originally a princess of a certain kingdom who mastered a knight martial art called "White Spirit Sword Art".

After the establishment of "Silent Girl", "Bai Ling Jianshu" was transformed by Erica into the exclusive magic sword technique of "Silent Girl". technology.

The old butler with the title of "Knight of Tranquility" in front of him must be far from his youth in terms of appearance, body shape and temperament.

In this case, almost no one can recognize him.

Li Nuo revealed his past in a single word, which made Al Qaeda have an illusion:

The other party is buying cheap islands, showing favor to himself, a person who has long been anonymous, and then obtaining his own cultivation secrets.

But the question is, how did the other party know his identity?

Could it be that the enemies from the past have come to find him?

Al Qaeda tightened his waist and abdomen, curled up his body slightly, faintly accumulating strength.

He looked directly at Li Nuo's face, and locked his hands and feet firmly with his peripheral vision.

Li Nuo once again experienced the feeling when he was fighting against Komini, as if there was an idea covering him in the dark.

As long as he makes a move, he will be hit like a storm.

Li Nuo looked calm, and probably guessed Al Qaeda's psychological activities:

"Relax, Al Qaeda. I am not your enemy."

"But why can you recognize me at a glance..." Al Qaeda said.

"I don't have to explain this to you, just like I don't have to explain to you why I bought those five islands."

Li Nuo smiled lightly and said:

"Your name was brilliant 30 years ago. Now you are followed by a young noble descendant. If I have bad intentions for you and Qian'an, you may have the power to resist. But have you forgotten something? I am a law enforcement wizard. The law enforcement officer appointed by the Deep Sea Academy to assist in the defense of wizards."

Al Qaeda's body swayed for a while. Obviously, the title of "Wizard Law Enforcer" made him less vigilant towards Li Nuo, but that was all.

"I think we've talked enough today, Mr. Jarvis. I'll take you out." Al Qaeda slowly stood up and said at the same time.

Li Nuo was thoughtful, squinted at Al Qaeda, and sat motionless on the chair:

"Knight of Tranquility, it seems that you have caused quite a lot of trouble before. It turned out that just a little trouble made you jump like a frightened grasshopper, and you didn't look like the loyal and honest housekeeper before. After I left, you Are you planning to take Xi'an away from the Suman Islands secretly?"

Li Nuode admitted that what happened now deviated from what he expected.

He did discover Al Qaeda's true identity and some panel information about the other party by deconstructing the results.

However, for things that happened in the distant past, Li Nuo couldn't use deconstruction to know.

Judging from Al Qaeda's reaction as if he was facing a big enemy, the disasters he encountered in the past may be extraordinary, that's why he is so hostile to those who see through his true origin.

This was unexpected by Li Nuo.

However, everything is under control.

Li Nuo has always maintained a calm state of mind.

Seeing that Li Nuo refused to move his butt, Al-Qaeda stared at Li Nuo and said word by word:

"Mr. Jarvis, it's time for you to leave. This is the end of today's meeting."

Li Nuo leaned back on the chair and looked at each other calmly:

"Peace Knight, your current state is not at all peaceful. Please sit down. I am here to make a deal with you, not to seek revenge."

"Trading. Hmph. Anyone who can recognize me at a glance is either my best friend or my enemy. My friend is long gone, and you must be my enemy." Al Qaeda is still struggling with whether he is How was it exposed.

Facing the stubborn old man, Li Nuo ignored his stubborn attitude and said to himself:

"Listen up, Al Qaeda. I will exchange magical things with you for the cultivation secrets of the Serenity Knight. The transaction between us is witnessed by the soul contract. Any party who leaks the transaction must suffer soul damage. I know you are such a stubborn knight There is no need for magic things, so I will give the magic things Xi'an wants. It's that simple. If you are worried that I will reveal your whereabouts, then I can sign another soul contract with you alone."

"But how do you explain that you can recognize me..."

"It's enough to say these words once, Al Qaeda." Li Nuo emphasized his tone and interrupted the other party's words:

"I'm only giving you one last chance. Deal, or not. Don't let me use other methods to obtain your cultivation cheats."

After speaking, Li Nuo calmly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Kaida clenched his fists and stared at Li Nuo, "Don't even try to get mine..."

"Your time is coming, Al Qaeda." Li Nuo put down his teacup:

"Your internal organs are almost exhausted, and you can use martial arts two to three times at most. After that, you will die because of the out-of-control magic power, and Xi'an will also lose the housekeeper she relies on for survival. Don't put This precious opportunity to display martial arts is wasted on me, so I should save it to protect Xi'an on the way to Yuewan Peninsula."

Al Qaeda was stunned.

He looked down at his robe, and looked at Li Nuo carefully, but he didn't see any energy fluctuations caused by casting spells.

Now Al Qaeda was completely confused:

"How do you know my physical condition..."

Li Nuo didn't speak, just looked at each other.

Al Qaeda swayed like a dead leaf hanging from a branch in autumn.

He leaned on the corner of the table and sat down, his body was hunched, and he was not as tough as before.

After being seen clearly by Li Nuo, there is no need for him to maintain a strong side, that would only make him ridiculous like a stubborn duck.

After a long time, Al Qaeda said with difficulty in distress:

"Okay, let's make a deal. But I have to remind you that my enemies can recognize the martial arts of the Tranquility Knight at a glance. If you learn my martial arts, you'd better not use them, otherwise..."

"You don't need to worry about this, Al Qaeda. There will be a confidentiality clause related to this in the soul contract we are about to sign."

Li Nuo knocked on the table:

"Let's complete the deal tonight. Please go and call Xi'an, and it is best to bring her magic teaching materials. I have to decide what magic to teach her based on her courses and her needs. Don't worry, I I will not ask you to remove the magic locks on the magic textbooks, I just want to look at the covers of those textbooks to prevent misunderstandings due to differences in dictation."

Al Qaeda nodded silently and walked towards the door.

Li Nuo reminded behind him:

"Don't even think about taking Xi'an and running away. Before signing the soul contract, I have no obligation to keep your identity a secret."

Kaida trembled slightly, turned his head, took a deep look at Li Nuo, opened the door and walked out.

The door opened and closed.

In Li Nuo's "life and death tracking" magic field of vision, Kevin walked slowly towards the bedroom where Xi'an was.

Al Qaeda worked hard to adjust his posture along the way, and finally regained his proper butler appearance before knocking on Xi'an's door.

Li Nuo uses "life and death tracking" to see through Al Qaeda, watching the other party lead Xi'an to where he is
