Chapter 211 The Son of the Sun
investiture ceremony is not as grand as the bell-ringing ceremony, but it is particularly glorious at the arcanist level. After a lengthy speech, Erwin, the chief director of the Erudite Tower, personally put a hat on Duke. A special scholar's hat.
It is somewhat similar to a doctor's hat and looks very stylish when worn on the head.
In addition to the scholar's hat, there is also a specially made scholar card with the symbol of natural history on it, indicating that he is a scholar.
"Come, let's invite a Duke scholar to give his acceptance speech." Erwin held Duke's hand and said cheerfully.
For him, the birth of a learned man locally is part of his merit.
This is even related to whether he can be awarded the title of learned sage in the future.
To be promoted from a scholar to a sage, one must not only look at the attainments of natural history, but also how many natural history talents have been brought out. A polymath like Duke is a top-notch naturalist talent, and will be a huge addition to Erwin's promotion path.
"Welcome Duke Scholar to give a speech!" Joanna Bobcat shouted loudly while applauding vigorously from the crowd of onlookers.
Duke received the title of Erudite, and she felt even more excited than Duke.
Probably because this is the first arcane mage among her small circle of friends to obtain the title of scholar, and he is proud of it.
Or maybe it's because there is little hope for her to obtain the title of scholar. Even her father, Jovis Lynx, the third-level arcane mage, has never obtained any scholar title. Therefore, what she can't get is the most precious thing, the charm of the scholar title. Boundless.
"Ahem." Duke cleared his throat.
The arcane mages were very considerate of the new scholar, and soon stopped whispering, and all turned their attention to Duke in the center of the field.
Duke slowly gave the brightest and most handsome smile to the arcane mages around him, in return for everyone's willingness to listen to him quietly.
The reporters who were guarding the perimeter and did not dare to crowd around the arcane mages also took out their slide cards to record Duke's handsome appearance. Then he took out his notebook and held it in one hand, ready to quickly record Duke's next speech.
It is conceivable that in the next few days, Duke will be awarded the title of Erudite, which will definitely become hot news in Shenjiao City and even the entire Heijiaohe River.
The people of the Seven Towers Federation worship arcane mages and scholars more than they worship stars on earth.
"When I was a child, I lived in the Sheshou Town Welfare Institution. My friends loved to play, but I was the only one who liked to look up at the sky." Duke spoke a little slowly because he needed to search for the things left by his predecessor. memory.
Then he reorganized these memory fragments and tried to outline himself as a child.
"I always think a lot about why the stars blink, why the moon waxes and wanes, why the sky is blue, why the sun is so small and so hot... When I grow up, I will study in the town. Working in a card shop, I am still full of thoughts."
"I looked at my card repair master at the time, who would save one or two boxes of paste every month, and I was thinking that paste is not expensive. Why are batter boxes so expensive?"
"This is an interesting story." Duke teased a certain level 3 arcane mage who was not present, "Then I invented a batter box that saves money. technology, and then I sold it because I urgently needed money to buy a spirit-awakening potion."
There were knowledgeable arcane mages around, and they smiled in a dignified way, adding a touch of happiness to the quiet atmosphere.
"A spirit-awakening potion requires 23 silver dragons."
"I never thought that I was a genius. How could a genius need to take drugs to open the spiritual sea? But I am undoubtedly lucky."
Duke became more fluent and eloquent as he spoke . : "I sold the technology to the shop owner, and the boss paid me 10 gold dragons, but I think the boss must have resold it for a big price, because when he came back, he felt that I was being treated badly, so he didn't even want the shop, and just gave it away. Give it to me."
"This is the first business in my life. So far, it is still running the business of repairing cards in Sheshou Town." "Undoubtedly,
I have a close relationship with Lingka... so I am now a I hired a card maker, and I successfully made arcane cards some time ago. Now in my store, I can sell the magic cards I made myself." The arcane
mage suddenly clapped his hands, and Duke saw it. It was clear that it was Shanfhis.
With Shanfeisi taking the lead, the whole hall soon burst into applause, with only the reporters on the periphery recording the scene non-stop.
When the applause died down, Duke looked around.
He nodded and smiled at the arcane mages he knew or didn't know. He even raised his eyebrows when he saw Kyria Furious and Joanna Lynx who were gesturing at him.
He continued: "But I also have a close relationship with alchemy. My teacher Suktara led me into a brand new field and allowed me to see more different scenery. I was inspired by this and was always excited. Work hard to contribute."
He took advantage of the pause and smiled at Suktara in the crowd.
Suktara was overjoyed.
Duke added: "But the topic has reached this point. I must say that I have a close relationship with natural history." "I don't like the dark night. The nights in the orphanage are scary... I often fantasize about turning the
sun Stay, stay in the day, stay in the winter, stay in the cloudy days... But the sun is too far away, I can't keep it, the sun rises and the moon sets, and it doesn't change according to anyone's will." "But
when When I mention the Lingfeng Lamp, I think, maybe I can hold a small sun to provide me with light in the dark night..." "
I invented the portable lamp... but it is far from enough." "
...experienced After countless attempts, I finally invented the strong light technology...I realized my wish. I held the sun in my hands. Even though it was a small sun, it could still turn the night into day." "I remember that
I When I made the first batch of strong lighting lamps, I went to the welfare home in Sheshou Town and installed the strong lighting lamps myself." "When
night comes, turn on the switch."
"The welfare home is as bright as day, children. The people cheered, and I thought that from now on, the nights in the orphanage will never be so dark and scary."
Duke really did this, but he didn't do it specifically for the orphanage.
In the strong light factory in Sheshou Town, the first batch of strong light lamps produced on a trial basis were basically digested internally by Sheshou Town.
In order to express their support for Duke, the Black Snake family purchased a large number of bright lights and replaced all the lighting in the town. During his inspection, Duke stopped by the orphanage and donated some money and supplies to the orphanage.
This includes bright lighting.
Art comes from life but is higher than life, so Duke simply processed this matter and added it to his speech.
A little inspirational and provocative.
Sure enough, after the speech, the audience burst into applause again. It was completely different from the perfunctory and formulaic applause before. It was heartfelt applause from everyone, warm and powerful.
"Thank you, thank you all!" Duke held the scholar card in his hand, "Thank you to the Erudite Tower for recognizing me and granting me the title of Erudite. I still have a lot of ideas and inspirations, waiting for me to turn them into inventions and change the world. !”
"Thank you!"
Duke finished his investiture ceremony speech.
However, his mission was not over yet. The Arcane mages dispersed one after another, and he had to stay to be interviewed by reporters.
After the interview is over, you have to replace the magic spirit card with a new one - the scholar's magic spirit card will have gold edges inlaid around the magic spirit card.
"Your Excellency Duke, thank you for accepting the interview with "Daily Shenjiao City"." The newspaper reporter said respectfully.
"You're welcome. If you have any questions, just ask. Let's hurry up. I have some things to deal with later." "Okay, let's get started."
The reporter flipped through his notebook, "What are you doing today?" You have just turned eighteen. According to the information we found, you should be the youngest scholar in the entire field of wind and breath. How do you feel about this?" "Actually, it's not bad. After all, I am promoted to an arcane
mage. Good morning, I have been studying spiritual arcana for almost two years now." "
Nowadays, strong light lamps have become a must-have lamp at home, and countless people are praising you. Do you have any response to this?" "I hope I
can Inventions can bring more convenience to society. The spiritual arcana is vast and boundless. Not only the upper levels should have beautiful scenery, but the lower levels should also have beautiful scenes." Duke thought for a while and said, "I will continue to study in the field of natural history. Deepen your cultivation."
"What you said is really good, and you are so considerate of the people at the bottom." The reporter sincerely praised him, and then asked: "You are still studying in the Master Tower. When you finish your training, will you work in the Erudite Tower?"
" I didn't think about it."
"Okay, next question..."
After a few questions, the reporter from "Daily Shenjiaoshi" left and a reporter from another newspaper came to ask questions. After half an hour of tossing, the interview ended.
Duke went to Erwin's office.
After obtaining the title of Erudite, his status has been greatly improved. He no longer needs to make an appointment and can jump in line to visit any arcane mage.
We didn't talk about anything important, we just came to say hello and thank the other party for their support.
"Work hard, I hope to see the birth of a learned sage in my lifetime." Erwin personally walked Duke to the door of the office.
"I'll try my best." Duke left.
Return to Suktala Master Pagoda, continue the birthday celebration that has not yet ended, and relax lively into the evening.
In the evening Suktala did not ask to continue teaching.
So Duke sent away the guests celebrating his birthday and lay on his big bed, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.
"Duke, happy birthday to you." The little chicken swam out of the sea of air.
"It's rare to hear you speak without a bad mouth." Duke laughed.
It has been almost two years since I contracted with the chicken. The chicken's body shape has not changed significantly, but its short legs have become significantly longer and thicker.
"Hey, I don't have a bad mouth, I just like to tell the truth." Little Chicken shook his thick tail, "Well, it's your birthday today, I'm happy, I want to eat two pieces of spiritual crystal." "Haha, two pieces of whatever you want
. Spirit crystals, eat, eat as much as you want!" Duke directly placed a lot of spirit crystals on the table, "The Giant of Light has won a great victory in the business war, and now it has begun to recover its losses. I found out Do you know!"
"You're crazy?" Chicken's eyes widened, "Haha, I knew you could do it, Duke. If anyone can make more money than you, I'll take it!" He
said, picking up a spiritual crystal.
After a few crunches, he chewed it up and swallowed it. Then he picked up another piece, crunched it, chewed it up and swallowed it.
After eating four spiritual crystals in a row, he burped: "I can't eat any more. I have to digest it." "I'm full after just
four crystals. You're not strong enough. How long will it take you to evolve into a big elf with this little appetite?" "Yeah." Duke laughed.
The little chicken snorted: "You can live a long life by eating healthy." "
Okay, in any case, let me eat freely from now on. Spiritual crystals are nothing. I will buy you a spiritual mine from now on." Duke boasted, "I Now he is a scholar and a well-known big shot in the Black Dragon River area."
Xiaoji asked, "Then can you rescue my grandma?"
"Well... I'll ask you later."
" Hum!"
"Don't worry, I'm on the rise of my career now. When I make further progress, I will have the capital to bargain with the 4th-ring Arcane Mage. I will negotiate with Bernoulli and ask for your grandma to come over. Let your grandparents and grandchildren be reunited."
Xiaoji's grandmother is an ancient spirit.
Each ancient spirit is like a book of arcane magic written from ancient times until today.
In the entire Black Dragon River land, there are only a few mage towers with ancient spirits.
The best arrangement for the Ancient Spirit is to become the "Tower Spirit" of the Mage Tower, cooperate with the owner of the Mage Tower, and better manage the entire Mage Tower.
Or you can arrange the ancient spirit as a "war spirit" to help control a warship.
Now it is difficult for Duke to fight for such an ancient spirit with the fourth-level earth arcane mage Bernoulli. Even if he gives the giant of light to the other party, he cannot get the ancient spirit - the ancient spirit can be used as an arcana. The mage's assistant can also help the arcane mage explore spiritual arcana.
"Don't lie to me."
"How could I lie to you? There is an elf contract between you and me, and you still don't understand my thoughts?" "You
understand, that's why I wonder if you will lie to me!"
"Chicken you? It hurts my heart to say that." Duke felt sad for a moment, and then said, "Tomorrow, I will take you to visit Xiaohong." "Okay, okay,
I haven't seen Xiaohong for several days, alas. , I don’t know if Xiaohong can find a partner and create a new ant colony." The chicken was happy and distressed, "Why do you think the three-ring male ants can't mate with Xiaohong normally!" "I'll let it go
. The Sword Mercenary Group, keep an eye out over the Cuihai Valley, maybe you can find the crypt army ants with 5th ring bloodline, and then grab a male ant and come over to match them," Duke said.
He now raises the crypt army ant queen Xiao Hong, who has a bloodline of 5 rings, on the farm.
For this reason, I also specifically asked several arcane mages in the Gu field for advice on how to cultivate spiritual insects and how to breed spiritual insects.
Unfortunately.
Xiaohong inherited the 5-ring bloodline of the queen ant red branch, and was reproductively isolated from the 3-ring bloodline of ordinary burrowing army ants.
So even if Duke purchased a few live-captured 3-ring male ants from Snakehead Town, Xiaohong was still unable to give birth to offspring. Now there is only one ant, alone in a designated area of the farm, digging its nest every day and feeling in a daze.
Even Duke thought of catching a group of ordinary burrowing army ants and giving them to Xiaohong as his subordinates.
Xiaohong didn't cooperate. When she saw these burrowing army ants that she didn't produce, she went up and bit the burrowing army ants to death.
"Where can I find it? When the red branch was alive, the mercenaries were so picky that they couldn't catch the ants in its colony." The chicken was very disdainful of the mercenaries. It was only in awe of arcane mages like Duke, "It might as well be Take Xiaohong to Cuihai Valley and let Xiaohong find her husband by herself!"
"Well..." Duke's eyes suddenly lit up when Chicken Little said this. "Chicken, maybe what you said makes sense." "
What?"
"Most of the burrowing army ants in Cuihai Valley have been captured by arcane mages. The ants were wiped out, and the remaining ones were also swept away by the cantharis army from Bernoulli's Master Tower. They moved away and hid, and the mercenaries rarely encountered these ants again." "So I say, they are all in vain
. Blind." The chicken was spread out on the table, digesting the overfed spiritual crystals.
Duke said: "No, no, just because the mercenaries can't find it doesn't mean that Xiao Hong can't be found. Xiao Hong has wings and can fly on its own. I can definitely take it to Cuihai Valley and let it find the 5th Ring on its own." Bloodline male ants mate!"
Basically, the queen ants mate once and they can benefit from it for life.
When the time comes, we can bring Xiao Hong back and breed an ant colony belonging to Xiao Hong here on the farm.
Just do what comes to mind.
Duke asked for leave from Teacher Penrose the next day, informed Teacher Suktara, and prepared to take the Black Beetle to Snakehead Town.
"Child, take the teacher's airship Chasing Shadow. From now on, when you travel far away, you will use the airship Chasing Shadow. Teacher doesn't go out much anyway." Suktara learned of Duke's plan and directly transferred his airship to Gave it to Duke for use.
Duke declined and accepted happily.
The teacher was sincere to him, how could he live up to his true love? In the future, he could just spend more time on alchemy and repay the teacher.
The Shadow Chaser airship slowly took off, and Duke took his own team members to enjoy the joy of sailing in the sky.
This airship is a standardized airship that has solidified several powerful arcane spells.
"Wow, sir, the feeling of riding in an airship alone is different from the feeling of squeezing into the airship with other Arcane Masters." Assistant Murali was walking around in the luxurious cabin of the airship, full of joy.
"Hmm." Duke said perfunctorily.
He is reading today's newspaper. Reading the newspaper for a while every day is a good habit he has developed.
The front page headline of "Daily Shenjiaoshi" is a picture of Duke wearing a scholar's hat and smiling brightly.
"Duke, the son of the sun who brought light to the people, was awarded the title of Erudite by the Holy City of Alfa!"
The article praised Duke's great invention for bringing light to thousands of households, and elaborated on that in Duke's speech. There are inspirational stories about the orphanage and the little sun. Duke is called the son of the sun, as if all the light is brought by Duke.
As for the ancestor Arcane Mage who invented the light bulb, let’s not mention it.
"The youngest scholar in the field of wind and breath, a genius arcane mage in Shenjiao City, Duke scholar was awarded the honorary title at the Erudite Tower." In another newspaper, Duke's conferment
was still the front page headline, and the picture showed a group of arcane mages surrounding him. With Duke.
"The great arcane mage who came out of the orphanage was crowned as a scholar in the Erudite Tower yesterday." "
Duke, the youngest arcane mage in the Black Dragon River, has become the youngest scholar in the field of wind and breath, and has achieved unprecedented achievements. "
Warm congratulations to Master Duke on being awarded the title of Erudite."
"The Son of the Sun brings light to the people, and Duke, the Ambassador of Light, is awarded the title
of Erudite." Newspapers after newspapers were full of praise for Duke, and even some flattery. The content has reached a disgusting level.
It almost puts Duke on par with the sages in the Temple of Valor.
It should be noted that in the Temple of Heroes in the Holy City of Arcane Magic, every candidate is an epoch-making arcane mage who has made important contributions to all mankind on the path of spiritual arcane magic.
"Too much moisture, too much bragging!" Duke shook his head and read the entire content with great pleasure.
The sense of accomplishment in my heart is almost overflowing.
In any case, with the promotion of strong light fixtures in the Seven Towers Federation, his name will be destined to be recorded in history.
Son of the Sun, Bringer of Light.
"It's not a new nickname." He put down the newspaper in his hand and told Mulali, "I'm going to practice. Don't let anyone disturb me until I get to the station." "Okay, sir." Mulali hurriedly left the room
. , and close the door carefully.
Duke calmed down his emotions, sat cross-legged on the comfortable training bed, closed his eyes and looked inside his spiritual sea, observing the development of his spiritual core.
The looming spiritual core has become more and more like a spell model.
And the momentum of development, although slow, can be seen clearly with the naked eye, and it is changing all the time.
"This is the spirituality brought about by the strong light technology, which is promoting my understanding of spiritual arcana." Duke knew very well, "Being a savant cannot substantially improve my practice, but being a savant The tower helps me promote strong light technology, which is undoubtedly condensing my spirituality."
Spirituality is mysterious and mysterious.
Duke's invention has entered thousands of households, and many ordinary people have been affected by it, so there is a slight interaction between them.
Like a drop of water blown up by the waves in the spiritual ocean.
Gathering a small amount into a large number will eventually form a wave that crashes hard on the coast, completing a spiritual feedback.
The results of the feedback are reflected in Duke’s spiritual sea.
"The science of natural history is booming. Perhaps it is these thousands of ordinary people who bring spiritual waves to the learned people and help the learned people practice faster."
Reality, illusion.
Individuals, masses.
Spirituality connects everything, even if it is thousands of miles away, even if it is thousands of years old, it can connect two seemingly unrelated things together.
"This is the spiritual arcana!"
Duke sighed for a moment and looked at Xiaoyi's progress chart projected in the spiritual sea.
"Process 1: Exclusive meditation method, idle consumption consumes 25% of power. Currently, Linghai level, level 1 arcane scholar, training progress is estimated to be 35%, and the time budget cannot be quantified. Important reminder: The evolution speed of spiritual core has accelerated dramatically recently, and it has already been completed in the short term. Improve the training progress by about 8%."
There are too many uncertain factors in Master Ao's training progress, and Xiao Yi can no longer give specific quantitative figures.
However, Xiaoyi was able to accurately record the changes in cultivation progress.
During the period of promoting the strong light technology, the feedback generated through spiritual interaction helped him deepen his understanding of spiritual arcana, which improved his progress by about 8%, and this feedback is still continuing. .
"The study of natural history is far more important than I thought. Perhaps it's time to study the patented technologies related to film and television in a big way!"
He has accumulated quite a lot of new ideas for the study of slide cards.
It's just that it's temporarily sealed in Xiaoyi's database.
immediately.
He looked at the next line of the process table: "Process 2: Healing Arcane Wonders, idle consumption consumes 55% of power. The current construction progress is 95.5%, and the time budget is 23 days." The third Arcane Wonders has been rising on the orbit
. rise.
It was a complex and exquisite green light that vaguely formed a heart-shaped structure. It was in a tripartite state with two arcane wonders, the Arcane Shield and the Illusion, on the orbit. The arcane weapon next to it was surrounded by sand. The eagle turns independently.
"The healing arcane wonder is getting faster, but there is still redundant space in the ring orbit. I can still build a new arcane wonder!" Duke expressed his
joy at this. Most level 1 arcanists can also build it. Two or three arcane wonders.
And he can build four arcane wonders, and they are all relatively complex arcana. It can be seen that the spiritual core he has condensed is more outstanding than others.
"Process three: Sand Eagle 1.52 special effect bullet - elemental version, research and development consumes 19% power. The current research and development progress is 95.4%, technical points have not yet been broken through, and the time budget cannot be estimated." "Process four: interactive program, reserve 1% power
. "
The research and development of Shaying is stuck on a technical difficulty. Duke is temporarily unable to help, so Xiaoyi can only try to overcome it on his own.
Go through all processes.
Duke then gathered his thoughts and began to slowly sink into practice. Although Xiaoyi's offline practice was an auxiliary artifact, occasionally he had to practice it himself to deepen his understanding of the content calculated by Xiaoyi and improve his knowledge of spiritual arcana. .
Xiaoyi cannot replace Xiaoyi's understanding of spiritual arcana, he must complete it himself.
Good thing.
No matter how complicated the knowledge is, after Xiaoyi's analysis and processing, it can be turned into a method that is relatively easy for Duke to understand.
It's like a difficult math problem, but Xiaoyi has completely solved the answer and explained every step clearly.
Duke just had to follow the train of thought and nod.
"Practice... is so happy."
