Chapter 208 The First Ring Great Knight
snaps!
Clinda slammed the teacup to the floor, breaking into pieces of glass.
"It's simply ridiculous and ridiculous!" Clinda roared angrily, "How could the continuous coating technology be invented by Duke!"
Aziguli didn't even look at the glass shards on the floor, but said calmly: "I have investigated and found that this technology has changed hands several times, but the original source was Old Sam, the owner of Little Sam's card repair shop, and Duke worked at Little Sam's card repair shop." "Ahem!
" Clarinda blushed, "So what? Who knows if it was invented by old Sam or Duke!" "
Anyway, after this matter spreads, it will have a negative impact on the Runwan family." "
I No one dares to make irresponsible remarks about a patent bought with money!"
"Anyway." Aziguli looked at the man in front of her and sighed, "Clinda, why don't you just give in? Relying on the spiritual light is no longer enough. I got the title of scholar by blocking Duke. Let's slowly buy patents in the future." "
No, I can't swallow this breath. Now the situation has been reversed by Runwanjia. I'm going out this time to talk about it. Less cooperation is enough to ensure that the Lingguang lamp will defeat the portable lamp in the market. Then you and I will use our strength to the Erudite Tower of Runwu City. Will the Erudite Tower dare to take the risk and issue the title of Erudite to Duke?" "Infringement is infringement
. , Clarinda, please see the reality clearly!" Aziguli stretched out her hand and knocked on the table, "The arcane mage of the Erudite Tower in Runwu City will not take the risk of violating the original intention and help us cover up. In fact... "
Actually what?" asked Clinda.
"In fact, my twisted ring has already had a slight reaction. I can't hold on for too long. The infringement case must be concluded as soon as possible." Aziguli said.
"How could this happen? It's just a delay in the trial. How come your Ring of Distortion reacts?" The
Ring of Distortion is where arcanists hide their true hearts. It protects their practice, anchors their true hearts, and reduces the risk of becoming a fallen demon.
"Because my heart tells me that the Lingguang Lamp is a plagiarized portable lamp. This is a fact that I cannot deny." Aziguli said coldly, "Every erudite Ta'ao master must establish a erudite heart. Once your heart is shaken, the consequences will be terrible."
"Huhu..." Clinda panted heavily and said after a long time, "I know, even though you have pronounced a good sentence, the actions of the Runwan family will never be the same. Stop, even if I pay for the infringement, I will fight this commercial competition!"
"Whatever you want." Aziguli said coldly.
Then she stood up and prepared to leave. When she opened the door, Clarinda suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."
Aziguli turned around and looked at Clarinda indifferently.
A painful expression flashed across Clarinda's face, and then she suppressed her emotions and said: "You know, I don't want people to laugh at me. Ever since my spiritual core was broken... Anyway, I will lose completely if I lose. And definitely not retreat halfway!"
Aziguli softened her heart and said softly: "Oh, why bother." "It
is very necessary!" Clarinda said seriously, "And it is not yet known who will win, so what about the infringement of the spiritual light lamp? , As long as the portable lamp can be defeated and the giant of light is extinguished, everything will return to how it should be, and the ridicule at this time is just a little noisy." "It's up to you." Aziguli pushed the door open and walked out
.
After Aziguli left for a long time, Clarinda called her assistant to clean up the broken glass in the office.
Then someone was sent to call the general manager, sales director and others of Runwanjia Spiritual Equipment Factory, and they held a meeting in the office to continue to expand the scale of production, continue to sell at a loss, and carry out comprehensive promotional activities in cities and market towns in eight major regions.
From September to October, and from October to December.
Runwanjia and the Giant of Light were like two big men fighting for their lives, burning countless golden dragons and spreading their two series of products, portable lamps and spiritual light lamps, to every corner of the Wind Breathing Domain.
In ordinary households, almost everyone has one.
"A portable lamp with 25 bronze dragons, and a spiritual lamp with 24 bronze dragons!" A mercenary far away in Cuihai Valley held a lamp in one hand, "Hey, these two companies are competing, and hand lamps are getting cheaper and cheaper. I don't know what I think."
"It doesn't matter what I think, as long as I take advantage." Another mercenary chuckled.
"The hand lamp is very useful, but the brightness is not very good, it doesn't illuminate very far, and the large searchlight is not convenient to carry." "Come on,
compared to before, carrying a spiritual wind lamp can't illuminate one meter away . , it’s so much better, just be satisfied.”
“These two companies have only cut prices, but they don’t know how to put more effort into their products.” “
Speaking of which, the portable lamp was invented by the Giant Company of Light, Runwanjiazhan. It's a big company, infringing on other people's patents."
"Has the lawsuit been judged?"
"It has been judged. It was announced a while ago. From now on, every time Runwanjia sells a spiritual light lamp, they will have to compensate the Giant of Light one or two Bronze Dragon's patent infringement fees." The mercenary had read the newspaper before and introduced news in this regard.
"Then why is Runwanjia still selling spiritual light lamps? Isn't this giving money to the giant of light?"
"Don't be afraid of a big business. There is Master Arcana behind him. He has a lot of money, but he doesn't pay royalties. We want to delay it, but we have to drag the Giant of Light to death anyway."
"It's so dark."
"What do you think, the arcane mages are ruthless in their methods!" "
That's not right, there is something secretive behind the Runwan family. Mr. Mage, isn't there also Mr. Arcane Mage behind the Giant of Light?" "
Masters are also divided into levels. Can the 3rd level be the same as the 1st level? I don't even think about it." "Okay, okay, be
less wasteful in night operations. So, our group will work harder tonight to catch more ferrets for sale." The leader of the mercenary group scolded, "The situation in Cuihai Valley is not right recently, and it feels like a new wave of insects is about to break out. Anyway, we will complete this mission. , we will retreat to Snakehead Town to rest for a while." "
Captain, what on earth are you saying the Bernoulli family is doing? They said they wanted to hire someone to deal with Yalong. It's been half a year, and there's been no movement at all."
" Stop worrying about the things above." The leader scolded, "No matter how long it takes to hunt dragons, I hope the pioneering war will continue for a few more years, and we can make a good profit for a few more years. When we make enough, we will retire and go home to find a quiet community to live in. Enjoy your life as a security guard!"
"I don't want to be a security guard. I plan to stay in Cuihai Valley and join the Bernoulli family as a vassal knight." "The
Bernoulli family only wants Gu knights, One-Eyed Bob, when the time comes I have to contract a bug."
"What's wrong with contracting a bug? My Warthog King is already old and has no potential to advance to a level 1 spirit beast in this life. It's better to contract a bug." Suddenly
.
A mercenary from the front issued a notice: "We have found the ferret, hurry, hurry, focus on lighting, blind it, and fix it!" The
light from countless lamps merged together, illuminating the thorn bushes ahead. . Then a great knight mercenary opened up the thorn bushes and caught a spiritual beast that was motionless and slightly larger than a hound.
"Hey!" The great knight picked up the ears of the spirit beast, quickly took the chain handed to him, and tied the spirit beast firmly. "It's so damn amazing. You can catch the ferret with a light. You can catch every one accurately." , these ferrets don't even know how to run away."
"Ferret beasts are only active at night and are extremely sensitive to light. If their eyes are illuminated, they will be blinded directly." A mercenary accompanying the team explained.
"I never had the opportunity to catch a ferret so quickly before. Thanks to the portable lamp!" "
If you ask me, I have to thank the Giant of Light and Mr. Duke who invented the portable lamp." "
I have to thank Mr. Duke. ." The group leader took the ferret with a smile and stuffed it into a bag, "Let's go and continue to look for the next one. Master Duke is blessing us. We will capture more ferrets, and you will win this business war." ”
…
Autumn passes and winter comes.
The light battle is in full swing, but Shenjiao City has entered the cold winter season, and the first snow has already fallen.
In the playground of Suktara Castle, Duke rides a tall spiritual horse.
A man silently practiced the "Imperial Dragon Cavalry" on the horse, charging, sprinting, and constantly practicing various fighting spirit martial arts with the spear.
On his shoulder lay a big, fluffy squirrel.
This squirrel turned out to be the long-haired mongoose - Xiaodou. Xiaodou and Duke were training together, and the auras of one person and one beast had merged into one under the influence of the sea of blood.
at this time.
You can see a clear and bright red mark on Kabuto's forehead, which represents the mark of the knight's contract.
The ring-shaped imprint is very complex, with twists and turns, but eventually connects to a line.
This is a closed loop.
"Drink!" Duke raised the knight's spear in his hand, and the boiling fighting spirit in his body flew up with the spear, all pouring out on the dummy on the charging road.
boom!
The dummy made of spiritual gold was blown to pieces.
At the same time, he burst out laughing, and felt that the fighting spirit in his body was like a chain reaction. As he performed the fighting spirit martial arts, all the fighting spirit exceeded the critical value and leaped to another level.
Fighting temperament changes.
Becoming thicker, tougher, and longer, becoming sharper, lighter, and more explosive.
Two completely different natures were manifested in a new quality of fighting spirit at the same time. The roar of the sea of blood became more surging, and a steady stream of new quality fighting spirit burst out, making his whole person seem to have endless power.
The knight's spear was raised again, and with a casual blow, the spiritual gold dummy in front was shattered into pieces.
The power was several times stronger than the previous full blow.
"Enjoy it!" Duke laughed, riding back to the rest area of the playground, throwing the knight's spear into the crowd.
A great knight stood up instantly, caught the knight's spear, and praised: "Congratulations, sir, for breaking the shackles and advancing to the level 1 great knight!" "Congratulations, sir, for advancing!" "Congratulations, sir." The great knight in
the
rest
area Everyone congratulated Duke one after another. As the captain of the guard knights, Vivian also looked at Duke with shining eyes.
Little Kabuto stood up on Duke's shoulder, as if these congratulations were all for him, chirping proudly.
Duke has calmed down his excitement and returned to his usual calmness: "It will all come naturally. Two days ago, Xiao Dou advanced to the 1st Ring Spirit Beast, and I have reached the critical point of breakthrough. However, I have been busy, so I waited until the weekend to rest before I chose to break through."
"Sir, do you want to practice charging together?" Vivian suggested.
"Forget it, I won't practice anymore. I'll keep Kabuto and you can continue to train it." Duke threw Kabuto down and chose to run away.
Become a great knight and strengthen your fighting spirit to protect yourself.
He has achieved his goal of stacking armor, so there is no need to spend more energy cultivating fighting spirit. As for the 2nd level fantasy beast knight, it requires opportunity, and hard work alone is useless.
Back in Tower 2, I just finished taking a shower.
Then he saw Butler Morris waiting in the hall with an acquaintance - Subotan, Suktala's assistant.
"Your Excellency Duke, have you rested well?" Subbotan asked with a smile.
Duke patted his forehead and sighed in his heart: "The teacher really doesn't let me go for a minute. It's rare to have a weekend break, but he still has to call me over!" After complaining for a few times in his heart,
he replied calmly: "Okay, wait a moment. Yes, I'll have a cup of tea and set off."
It's rare to meet a teacher who is willing to teach you everything, and Duke didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so as soon as the tea was finished, he followed Subbotan to the Mage Tower.
Teaching is no longer in Tower 1.
Because the basic alchemy knowledge has been taught, and the remaining teaching needs to be completed with experiments, it is placed in the mage tower.
"Teacher." Duke said hello after entering the laboratory.
Suktara, who has silver hair, can't tell from her posture that she is 160 years old. Her skin is rosy and her eyes are bright.
This is spiritual energy that nourishes the body at all times and keeps the body young and energetic.
Even Duke today can feel the blessing of spiritual energy on his body, allowing him to be in peak condition all the time without worrying about the aging and degradation of his body's functions - even though he is only seventeen years old and has not yet reached the age of 17. Eighteen years old.
"Come on, the teacher has prepared an interesting experiment today, which will allow you to better understand the transformation between spirituality and matter."
Suktara waved her hand and continued to play with the instruments and tools on the table.
"Teacher, have you been in the laboratory for a long time?" Duke immediately started to attack Suktara, "You have been working too hard during this period. You are needed to take charge of the work at the Union Tower, and you are still busy back at the Mage Tower. Teach for me."
Suktara glanced at Duke with a kind smile: "How many times have I told you, there is no need to feel bad for the teacher. Although the teacher is old, his energy is not bad at all."
She pointed at herself The designed experiment said: "Come and see, after processing these spiritual materials, they can be refined into the 'Core of Tersi' material. This material is a commonly used material for refining quasi-arcane weapons. In the keel of the airship, There is the core material of Tersi."
There are dozens of unprocessed spiritual materials on the table, including ores, metals, bones, and some wood.
After Suktara waited for Duke to identify the spiritual materials one by one, he pointed to another pile of mud-like spiritual materials: "These are the spiritual materials that I have processed. It is called 'Swallow Holding Mud', and it is made of swallows holding mud." Nest, this clay material is the main material of the mage tower and other buildings."
She told Duke: "Come, help the teacher make the core of Tersi first."
"Okay."
Duke skillfully mastered the craftsmanship. Materials, using thoughts to guide spiritual energy, and processing through alchemical techniques.
With the help of Xiaoyi, every step of material processing can be perfectly controlled, which is much easier than drawing spell models on card materials.
Even with his eyes closed, Duke could follow Xiao Yi's steps and refine the materials.
While Suktara was processing the materials, he used his peripheral vision to look at Duke's technique. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. There may be some sluggishness in the technique, but the control of steps and psychic energy is not much worse than that of an old alchemist like her.
It has only been more than three months since Duke studied with her.
It’s only been two months since I officially started alchemy.
Being able to handle materials so skillfully in just two months, in Suktara's heart, Duke was born to be an alchemist.
"This child is right to study with me!" Suktala sighed in her heart no matter how many times, "If I hadn't persisted, his talent as an alchemist would have been buried...Thank you for the spiritual blessing. I have a master-disciple relationship with him."
Not long after, the materials were processed.
Duke turned to look at Suktara: "Teacher, what should we do next?"
The kindness in Suktara's eyes almost overflowed: "Child, next we will fuse the materials to make the core of Tersi. "
The process is somewhat complicated and the operation is even more delicate.
However, with the help of Xiaoyi, Duke still completed the preliminary work excellently, and cooperated with Suktara to successfully produce a beaker of Tersi Core.
"The core of Tersi can be stretched very long, try it." Suktara said with a smile.
Duke pulled it with his hand. The core of Tersilk, which looked like mucus, turned out to be like noodles. It could be pulled out for several meters without breaking.
Even if you pull it to the thickness of a hair, you still can't break it.
"This is the core of Tersi. It is drawn and woven into one strand, and then added to the keel of the airship. Even if it is attacked by a 3-ring arcane spell, it will be difficult to break the keel... but it is still not perfect and has the endurance The limit."
Suktara said, then sighed: "Faced with the attack of the dragon that exceeded the upper limit, the core of Tersi can't do anything, otherwise, there would be no arcane mage sacrificed in the last insect wave. "
With a little emotion.
She brought the topic back: "What we have to do now is to stir the Tersi core solution and the swallow mud together, and then you can feel it carefully and feel what will happen between these two alchemical materials. Changes."
She poured the entire core of Tersi mucus into the mud.
Duke quickly injected spiritual energy into it, and then followed the perception of the spiritual energy to carefully experience the changes. These are all the secrets of alchemy.
At first, there seemed to be no collision between the two materials.
But as the solution continued to mix, the spirituality contained in it began to come into contact, and this contact was like setting off fireworks, shooting up everywhere.
Countless spiritual beings arise, die, and change in it.
Through the perception of spiritual energy, Duke was soon deeply shocked. He seemed to feel that these transformed spiritualities were gathered into a living life, and then died and dispersed in a short period of time. The spirituality was chaotic, and the life was mixed. Constantly changing.
And his spiritual energy soon couldn't stand the spiritual impact in the material, and was involved in it, joining the transformation sequence.
When Duke came back to his senses, he saw that after the two materials were mixed in the vessel, it was like a pot of thick paste boiling, with thick bubbles coming out.
Then a few drops of the mixed viscous material broke away from the paste as the bubbles exploded, and then tried to climb outside the vessel as if they had grown legs.
However, before it could reach the outer opening of the vessel, it lost momentum and slowly slid down, falling into the paste.
"This..."
"Do you feel like these materials are alive?" Suktala sighed, "This is the power of life." "The power of life
?"
"Yes, among all spiritual materials, Spirituality is bound to breed, and spirituality is constantly transforming with all things. Spirituality is the source of our birth and the nourishment for our growth, but in the end, we will all return to spirituality and return to the spiritual sea." Suktara continued: "
In In the eyes of an alchemist, the spiritual sea hits the waves on the shore and molds all the complex things in the world. We pick a drop of sea water and throw it into the spiritual sea to restore its original appearance. This process is alchemy." "
So. , is this the principle behind how spiritual materials can be cast into arcane weapons and stored in the spiritual sea after alchemy?" Duke asked softly.
"Yes and no. We know that the spiritual sea is boundless, but we don't know where it exists, so we just put this drop of sea water into the spiritual sea in our imagination, which is the spiritual sea of each of us."
There was a pause.
Suktala sighed again: "Sorel, he just saw this process and felt that alchemy is a process of discarding the basics and chasing the last, so he wanted to find the real spiritual sea... so he changed his career to study the life box." Looking
towards Duke, she said: "I have considered before whether to teach you this class so soon, for fear that you might also imitate Sorel and study the origin of life. But the teacher believes that you are not Sorel, and you will not be truly taught. The spiritual sea confuses you, you are a born alchemist."
"Uh." Duke wanted to say that he would not refuse anyone who came, and he wanted to get involved in any field.
But after thinking about it, he still answered affirmatively: "I don't know if I am a natural alchemist, but I think alchemy is more worthy of my study. The transformation of matter and spirituality is a grand subject, and I will try my best." For."
"Good boy, the teacher is right about you." Suktala couldn't help but hold Duke's hand, "It's up to you to revitalize the future of alchemists."
At this moment.
Duke is no longer just the successor in Suktara's mind, but also the spiritually favored son who revitalizes the alchemists.
A sense of sacred mission filled Suktala's heart.
It made her wish she could sleep endlessly and give all her alchemical knowledge to Duke, so that Duke could revitalize the alchemists.
Looking at the teacher's eyes, Duke shuddered involuntarily.
Finally it was time for lunch.
Duke finally got a chance to breathe. He hurried back to Tower 2. After eating, he told Maurice: "If Assistant Subbotan comes to see me again in the afternoon, just tell me that I have something to deal with and ask the teacher not to wait." I'm done."
Then he left the Suktala Master Tower in a hurry, not thinking about where to go. In short, he didn't want to stay in this Master Tower where he could be dragged to class at any time.
"Sir, you don't seem to like going to Suktara Sahib's class." The assistant laughed at him secretly.
Duke glared: "What do you know, balance work and rest!"
Although he likes to study spiritual arcana, he is not willing to stay in the laboratory all day and be a "Frankenstein".
Enjoying life is just as important.
"Sir, are you just wandering around the street like this?" Royce, the shuttle driver, asked.
After thinking about it, Duke said, "Let's go to the headquarters of the Giant of Light."
"Okay."
The headquarters of the Giant of Light is still in the original small building, but a new headquarters is already being planned, but there is no money to build it for the time being.
The company's funds have been invested in the lighting war, and they will fight head-to-head with Runwanjia in the entire field of wind and breath.
Basically, for every portable lamp sold, the company loses ten copper dragons.
This is still not a big deal. After all, after selling 2 million lamps, it only lost 20 million copper dragons, which is equivalent to about 2,000 gold dragons.
The entire Shenjiao City has a population of nine million, and the market is only that big. Expanding to the entire Fengxi area, there are only more than 200 million people, and how many lamps can be sold. Even if everyone has a portable lamp, they will only lose 200,000 gold dragons.
The real big ones are publicity costs, channel costs and various labor costs.
For this commercial war, the Giant of Light Company's account has already spent nearly 100,000 gold dragons, and it is about to bottom out.
"Sir, we currently only have three regions, and the sales volume exceeds that of Runwanjia." After arriving at the Giant of Light headquarters, Viard reported his work in shame, "Runwanjia basically does not sell aura lamps, but sells white light lamps." Send a spiritual light that costs about 28 copper dragons, and they sell it for 14 copper dragons."
Financial manager Mulusi was also there, and complained: "This is not a discount promotion, it's just a broken bone!" "
No problem, keep spreading, They break bones, and we break bones too." Duke didn't care at all, "I will take action after the new year, and then it will be time for Runwanjia to take action... In addition, I will often go to the Erxue Tower to appeal and let Runwanjia Pay me the patent fees."
The patents for portable lights and other technologies are all owned by Duke, so Runwanjia needs to pay him patent infringement fees.
At this point, Duke simply stopped listening to the work report: "Let's go, little Lili, let's go to the Erudite Tower to continue our appeal. We will stay in the Erudite Tower this afternoon!" Please vote~ (End of this
