Chapter 212 Xiaohong Wedding Flying (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Desolate Stars)
The happy training did not last long. The Shadow Chaser airship has arrived at its destination, Snake Head Town, and stopped at the newly built Black Snake Flight Station.
As the insect tide receded in the Cuihai Valley, the 9-ring spiritual beast - the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon and its lineage of Black Jade Scorpions were dormant. The pioneering war gradually gained momentum, and airships from various places kept coming and going.
So the Black Snake family simply built the Black Snake Flight Station on the northeastern outskirts of the town.
There are several large shuttles in the station, ready to pick up the big shots coming off the airship, and quickly check into the hotel in the town, or directly check into the Black Snake Manor.
"Lord Duke." A great knight of the Black Snake family stationed at the flight station greeted Duke and his entourage respectfully.
Duke said nothing.
Mulali said on her behalf: "Uncle Mu Yis, my husband will move directly to Black Snake Manor. You can just send us a car." "Master Duke
is a distinguished guest of our Black Snake family. I will personally drive you to Black Snake Manor." Snake Manor." Mu Yisi Black Snake served enthusiastically.
This enthusiasm made Duke feel a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Mulali was by his side and had already developed excellent communication skills to handle everything in an orderly manner.
Duke just needs to smile every now and then.
The large shuttle drove into the Black Snake Manor in the blink of an eye. After learning the news, the high priest Mulander Black Snake went out to greet Duke in person.
"High Priest."
"Duke, you are back home." The high priest took Duke's hand and said with a smile like a kind little old man, "I learned that you were awarded the title of Erudite. Yesterday I happily drank Buy a bottle of fifty-year-old wine, the glory you have brought to the entire Sheshou Town!"
Duke did not apologize, but said with a smile: "This is just the beginning."
"Yes." Muland looked at him with a calm temperament. , Duke, who always exuded high spirits, said with emotion, "For you, being a scholar is just the beginning. I can't even imagine the heights you can reach in the future." At this moment,
Muland He has already adjusted his posture to be shorter than Duke.
If the two of them communicated before, Muland could rely on his identity as a second-level Austrian mage to speak in the tone of an elder. So now facing an extremely young scholar, his status as a 2nd level arcane mage is no longer enough.
He also faced this change calmly, and there was a lot of flattery in his words.
Duke understood that this change was a way of survival for the nobility, but Mulland's attitude still made him very comfortable.
When people get along with each other, besides interests, don't they value an attitude?
After a while of politeness, Muhans Black Snake rushed back from the town, and Mulander happily handed over the task of accompanying Duke to Muhans.
He himself called Mulali to have a friendly exchange of feelings between his ancestors and his grandchildren.
"Little Mulali, you learned a lot from studying with Duke, right?" Mulander personally peeled an orange for Mulali.
Mulali always felt afraid when she saw this second grandfather in the past.
But now she suddenly found that when she looked at the second grandpa again, she no longer had the awe she had in the past, and just regarded him as a familiar grandpa.
Taking the orange, she replied with a smile: "I have learned a lot, Second Grandpa, my husband is very good, and he is also very strict in supervising my practice. Now I have learned to repair the spirit card. I am a She's a card repairer now."
"That's great. This is what the daughter of the Black Snake family should look like." Muland joked a few words with a smile and suddenly asked, "Do you have the knowledge your aunt taught you? Didn't you find a chance to practice it?"
"Ah?" Mulali was stunned for a moment.
Then she thought of how her aunt Mulus always taught her how to attract men and how to show her charm.
Two groups of crimson appeared on his face.
Mulali turned her head to look outside and whispered back: "Second Grandpa, what are you talking about!"
"Don't be embarrassed, these are normal interactions between young people. Boys have the charm of boys, and girls naturally You also need to have the charm of a girl. Your aunt is someone who has been here before, so it’s okay for you to learn from her." "
I know." Mulali replied with a guilty conscience.
Muland's smile was still kind, but his tone was unknowingly stern: "You have been following your husband for a long time. Don't always think about studying and practicing. When the time comes, you should also strengthen your relationship with Duke, right?"
Mulali lowered her head: "I know."
"Okay, Second Grandpa won't talk about this anymore. You young people may not like to hear it. But you can't help but nag. You also know that you are dripping with black. With the blood of the Snake family, the Black Snake family is not stable now. There is no powerful person in charge. The more the family earns, the greater the risk." "
Second grandfather, isn't it good for the family to guard the Snake Head Town? What are the risks?" Mulali He raised his head and asked curiously.
"Well, there are many risks. Look at Clarinda, the chairman of Runwanjia, who is also a third-level arcanist. She was also hit hard by your Mr. Duke." Muland shook his head. Said, "During the Cuihai Valley development war, the family made too much money and attracted outsiders..." The
Black Snake family introduced the Bernoulli Master Tower and almost became a traitor and traitor in Shenjiao City. Mulali also knew about this. .
So Mulali nodded sensibly: "Second Grandpa, I know how to do it."
"Good boy, Second Grandpa thanks you on behalf of the family... Remember, the Black Snake family is stable and strong, so that the daughters of the Black Snake family can be more respected. Pay attention."
"Yes, I know."
"Go, go home and see your mother. You can attend the noon banquet with your husband." Muland waved his hand.
After watching Murali leave, he held up the tea cup in the flower hall and drank tea slowly.
Immediately, a person came from the back door of the flower hall, walked to Muland and sat down: "Second uncle, how was your chat with Mulali?" "
Mulali is very sensible."
"I just heard Mulali's old lady Ma said, Mulali hasn't experienced anything yet, and this Duke is really tolerant." The person coming is Mudis Black Snake, the most potential first-level arcane mage in the Black Snake family, "His female knight , based on the old grandma’s knowledge, it’s the same.”
“This shows that Duke is a person with great perseverance and perseverance. Only such an arcane mage can reach the heights of spiritual arcana.” “Second uncle, what
you are talking about is "
Don't take it for granted. Duke was born an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. No one provided him with any help. His ability to get to where he is today is all due to his ability. His talent and means are all top-notch. The most valuable thing is that he is so young but not arrogant or impetuous..."
"Last night at the family meeting, you already said it once. We all admit that Duke has all the conditions for success. He is the most potential in Shenjiao City. A genius arcane mage." Mudis smiled.
"I am emphasizing!" Muland snorted.
"I understand, I understand, second uncle."
"It has been decided at the meeting that Duke's reception level will be raised, but you and Muhans still have to constantly unify the minds of the people below. Don't conflict with Duke and ruin the plans of my Black Snake family... Duke will He is the strongest foreign aid of my Black Snake family."
"Don't worry, Brother Muhans cares more about me than I do." Mudis tilted his mouth.
Muland saw it and smiled lightly: "Why, are you envious of Mu Hans? Do you think Mu Hans is in Duke's favor?" "
Where is that?"
"Haha, my second uncle still doesn't know what you are thinking.
Muland pointed it out directly: "Don't you also have a daughter, Murasan? Do you want to send her there too? I think, Mulan, a silly girl, won't be able to control Duke's thoughts. " The heart of a determined person, sisters, you can give it a try."
"Second uncle, what are you talking about, sisters, isn't this nonsense." Mudis was embarrassed.
Muland laughed out loud: "What's wrong with the sisters? When your uncle and I were young, we played better than this. Those mage towers that have stood for hundreds of years, let alone sisters, are three generations of grandparents. It's not impossible to go into battle together."
Mudis hesitated and did not respond.
After making a joke, Muland returned to the topic: "Mulashan is your daughter. My second uncle will not make random arrangements. You can consider it yourself. But I have to say that your focus now is on cultivation. My second uncle has already contacted me." Good Pharmacy Scholar Campos, I will refine the thunder potion for you."
"Thank you, second uncle."
"I will thank you later. I still say the same old saying, seize the time to break through. If you can break through without the help of potions, it will be good for you and Black Snake. It's a great joy for the family. If you really can't break through, take the thunder potion to promote it." "
Second uncle, please contact Campos scholar to refine the thunder potion. I will definitely attack it carefully. If it fails, I will come to you to get it. Thunder potion."
"Practice is up to you, think it over carefully."
After leaving the flower hall, Mudis Black Snake turned around and went to the front hall of the manor, where Duke was chatting with Muhans, and he was also sitting We chatted for a while.
He didn't leave until Duke wanted to go to town for a walk.
Go back to your own home.
The wife is checking accounts with the housekeeper.
He asked directly: "Where's Murasan?"
"She's learning embroidery in the backyard. What's wrong, aren't you accompanying Duke in the front hall?" "
Duke went shopping in town, I'll come back when I have time." , Mudis got up directly and went to the backyard and found his daughter.
"Father."
"Why are you still doing embroidery at home? Mulali came back and you didn't go to see her as a companion." "
I went, but she was surrounded by many aunts and sisters-in-law. I was impatient, so I made an appointment with her. Let's wait until Mr. Duke goes out in the afternoon and we can have fun together." Mu Lashan replied.
Moodys was silent for a while.
Silently looking at his daughter, she has a slim waist and a melon-seed face, no different from Mu Hansi's daughter Murali.
He then said gently: "You have to keep in touch with Mulali. You are sisters, you know. When Mulali goes to Shenjiao City, you can also go there and have fun. She studied with Mr. Duke, and now she is getting more and more The better you are, the more you learn."
Mulashan was surprised for a moment, then thoughtfully said: "Father, if you have any plans, just tell me directly."
When his daughter said this, Mudis suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Especially when he thought of the obscene words such as "sisters" and "three generations of grandparents" spoken by High Priest Mulander, he felt even more ashamed.
So I quickly got up and walked out.
When he walked to the entrance of the courtyard, he suddenly turned around and said, "Contact Mulali more and play with Mulali more often... In short, I will go into the city with Mulali later and go to the Mage Tower to see the world." After finishing speaking
, , flew away.
...
After enjoying a lunch at Black Snake Manor, Duke was not going to delay his trip any more, so he was going to take the ant queen Xiaohong and set off to Cuihai Valley to "recruit a bride".
Xiaohong's current body size is already the size of a calf.
It was bigger than any 3-ring burrowing army queen he had ever seen, but according to the chick, Little Red was still far from its mother Red Branch.
"High Priest, please stay, there is no need to send him off again."
"Then I will send him here, Muhans, Mudis, you can send Duke off later." Mulander smiled and stayed at the door of the hall.
"Uncle Muhans, Mr. Mudis, you don't need to send him away. I'm not an outsider, so I'll just stay here." Duke walked out of the Black Snake Manor and looked back at the people who sent him off, his eyes on both sides. Stay for a moment personally.
One is his little assistant Mulali, and the other is a girl standing next to Mulali, wearing similar clothes and looking similar.
Duke couldn't remember the girl's name.
However, Xiaoyi quickly displayed the girl's name information on the Dou Qi holographic screen: "Mulashan, the eldest daughter of Mudis Black Snake, is now seventeen years and four months old, a spiritual apprentice, and her mother is Lauryn... Yes Brother, sister..."
"Xiao Yi, what do you mean, do I want her information?" Duke complained with a guilty conscience.
immediately.
A large symbol appeared on the Dou Qi holographic screen - "?"
Duke turned a blind eye to it.
Saying goodbye to Muhans and others, he got on the black beetle borrowed from the Black Snake family, took his own escort knights, and headed for Cuihai Valley.
The Broken Sword mercenary group, which had received the postman's owl letter in advance, was already waiting at the main road intersection in the west of the town, led by Captain Xina.
"Sir, congratulations on winning the title of Erudite!" Zina got into the Black Beetle and saluted Duke excitedly.
Duke's identity has reached a higher level, which means that the Broken Sword Mercenary Group has a more stable backing.
"It's just a false name." Duke waved his hand and motioned for Xina to sit down and talk.
Zina said seriously: "Sir, this is not a false name. This is the highest honor. You deserve the title of scholar. The portable lamp and bright light you invented have brought huge benefits to us ordinary people. Benefits."
"Not to mention this, I don't know how many people have sung praises for me in the past two days, my ears are almost numb." "
This is an honor you deserve, sir."
"Haha." Du Ke accepted Xina's flattery and immediately asked, "Have there been any big changes in Mutated Forest No. 3 recently?"
Mutated Forest No. 3 was the former Well No. 3 area of the Xibit Spirit Mine Company. It was destroyed by the ancient evil. It was sealed as a forbidden area after being polluted by the molting of animals. Now the forbidden area has been unsealed, and a large forest area has been specially designated to retain the remaining evil spirits.
Under the pollution of evil spirits, a large number of mutated species appeared in the forest, becoming a large-scale training base for new species.
Mercenaries can freely enter and exit the No. 3 Mutated Forest to collect resources.
"It hasn't changed much. It's just that there are more evil beasts. Some other evil plants have been marked by arcane mages who guard the mutated forest and are no longer allowed to be collected."
Beasts infected by evil spirits are called evil beasts; plants infected by evil spirits are called evil plants.
"I'm going to go to Mutant Forest No. 3 to take a look when I get the chance. By the way, can I still collect snow blowing pillars?" Duke continued to ask.
Zina replied: "Sir, I am preparing to report this to you. The number of Fubuki pillars in the forest is getting smaller and smaller, and the competition is getting bigger and bigger. I have discovered that several mercenary groups are looking for Fubuki pillars. , after I made some insinuations, I found out that an Arcane mage was eyeing Fubukibashira."
"Really."
"Well, one of them is the Outlet, the spiritual plant scholar from the Mage Tower in Snow Valley Town." "
Outlet?" Duke rubbed his chin.
Nearby Snow Valley Town, the fiefdom of the Snow Eagle family, there is an independent mage tower, the Outlet Mage Tower, built on top of a small spiritual spring.
It is owned by the Outlets family.
The owner of the family, Outlets, is a 2nd level arcane mage and spiritual plant scholar.
"It seems that it's not just me who has noticed the value of the Snow Blowing Pillar, but even spiritual plant scholars like Outlet also value its possibilities." Duke laughed and didn't care much about it, "It doesn't matter Zina , continue collecting."
"Yes, sir."
Unknowingly, the slow-moving Black Beetle vehicle has crossed the dividing mountain range between Sheshou Town and Cuihai Valley and entered Cuihai Valley.
Now is the early summer season, and Cuihai Valley is lush and green.
At the edge of the safety passage, you can see towering original trees. Their failure to become spiritual plants does not prevent these towering trees from spreading their vitality.
"Stop the car." Duke glanced at the sky and said, "Camp here."
Soon, the people from the Broken Sword Mercenary Group began to cooperate with the escort knights to camp. They will spend the night here tonight. As for Duke, he will sleep in the dark. On the Beetle, Vivian also slept in the Black Beetle, acting as Duke's personal guard.
Zina began to arrange for people to go hunting in the forest and prepare campfire dinners.
Duke called out the queen ant Xiaohong from the black beetle car. Xiaohong's body was not red, but as black as ink and so black that it shone.
Quietly, he came to Duke's feet, and a pair of tentacles kept touching Duke's legs, expressing his intimacy to Duke.
It signed a master-slave contract with Duke, and the power of the contract allowed it to get close to Duke and respect Duke from the bottom of its heart.
Coupled with the method of controlling Gu that Duke consulted with some Gu control scholars, he can easily control Xiaohong.
"Come on, Xiaohong, flap your wings." Duke patted Xiaohong's big head. There were several engraved dots on the top of its head.
Engraved points are related to arcane solidification.
Like gems inlaid on the shell, three are gray-yellow and three are red.
If you observe carefully, you can see that among the six engraved dots, three gray-yellow engraved dots have rings inside them, which are slowly rotating like water flow and appear in the three engraved dots in turn. , look carefully, there are three layers of rings within rings.
The three nested rings represent that Xiaohong has grown to three rings; the three gray-yellow engraved dots with flowing rings represent that it has solidified three arcane arts with earthy attributes.
They are the 1st-level arcane spell - Silk Web, the 2nd-level arcane spell - Rock Armor, and the 3rd-level arcane spell - Mud and Rock Solution.
The other three crimson engraved dots are a bit dull in color, which obviously means that Xiao Hong also has three types of arcane magic with a fire attribute that are solidified.
The muscles on the sides of the breastplate bulged, and Xiaohong meekly obeyed Duke's instructions and flapped her transparent wings.
Strictly speaking, it is not the queen ant yet, just a female ant.
Only after getting pregnant can you become a queen ant and establish your own ant colony.
"It's a pity that your body is covered with hard burrs, Xiaohong. Otherwise, I could ride you around. Wouldn't this be more exciting than a flying mount?" Duke tugged on Xiaohong's tentacles and then ordered, "Go, take off, go Find your happiness!"
Xiao Hong increased the speed of flapping her wings, and her spirituality gathered on her wings, as if countless winds were rushing towards her, lifting her up into the sky quickly.
After circling Duke, he suddenly flew into the vast jungle.
"Sir, this contracted spirit insect of yours is so majestic. It is bigger than the burrowing army ant queen I have ever seen. What kind is it?" Zina walked over and asked curiously.
"It is the burrowing army ant queen, but it is a mutated queen ant with 5 rings of blood." Duke glanced at the already darkened sky, hoping that Xiaohong could find the same mutated male ant and successfully complete the wedding flight. .
...
Shenjiao City, a spiritual weapon shop.
"Boss, do you still have the Runwanjia Lingguang Lamp?" A customer walked into the store and searched on the shelves for a long time before asking.
"Why do you want Runwanjia's spiritual light lamp? I only have portable lamps and strong light lamps from the Giant of Light here. There are all kinds of varieties." "Why don't you
sell Runwanjia's spiritual light lamp? It's cheap and It's easy to use."
"Isn't the Giant of Light's portable lamp bad?" the store owner said, "Besides, Runwanjia's products are all plagiarized. Now Lord Duke has become a scholar, which is the glory of Shenjiao City. , from now on our store will only sell lamps from the Giant of Light." "
Of course I know what happened to Mr. Duke, but isn't the aura lamp cheaper than a portable lamp by 1 copper dragon... Forget it, there is no aura lamp, get me one. Bring a portable lamp."
"A portable lamp, right? 40 copper dragons each."
"What?" the customer yelled, "Didn't we sell a 15 copper dragon before?"
The boss said funny: "You said so too Well, before, the Giant of Light fought with the Runwan family, so they sold takeout at a loss. Now that Lord Duke’s Giant of Light has won, he must not bring the price back, otherwise he will lose money and do charity!" "It would be better not to fight at all
! Win, keep fighting."
"You are wrong in your thinking. There is no reason to do business at a loss, and Runwanjia's spiritual light is a copy of the portable light, which itself is infringing on the interests of Mr. Duke." The boss spoke in a measured tone. , very logically, "Mr. Duke's invention has illuminated thousands of households. Are you embarrassed to have sex for nothing?"
After a pause.
The boss continued: "Besides, Mr. Duke already cares about us people enough. The original price of this portable lamp was 45 copper dragons. Mr. Duke asked to earn less, so now it is priced at 40 copper dragons on the market. You have to be grateful as a human being. !"
"Thank you, thank you, of course I am grateful. I have replaced a new strong lighting lamp at home. How can I not be grateful to Mr. Duke." The customer explained hurriedly.
Ordinary people would not dare to be disrespectful to the arcane mage. If someone sued him, he would be left with nothing to lose.
"Just be grateful. Do you still want this portable lamp? I'll tell you the truth. Mr. Duke has many things to do every day. He has just obtained the title of Erudite, so he pays attention to the Giant of Light. In case he is busy with research, say Maybe the managers of the company adjusted the price back."
"I..." The customer hesitated.
The boss seemed to understand: "Don't worry, Runwanjia has removed all the infringing lamps. You can't buy a 15 copper dragon aura lamp anywhere." "
Really?"
"Do you think that you, Erxue Tower, have already been sentenced? Not only do Runwanjia not dare to produce infringing products anymore, but they also have to compensate Mr. Duke for the patent fees. I heard that it is a lot of money, more than 100,000 gold dragons." Here!"
"Okay, I bought it." The customer really needs a portable light.
"To be honest, you might as well add some money and switch to a strong light portable lamp. It's not expensive. It only costs 20 copper dragons. The brightness of the light is definitely not comparable to that of a portable light." The boss said this, combining the portable lamp with the strong light. Take out the light with the lamp.
Turn on the switch and the brightness contrast is quite obvious.
The customer suddenly felt that the boss was right, so he took out his Spirit Dragon Card, transferred 60 copper dragons, and went home with a strong light portable lamp.
It wasn't until I got home that I suddenly realized: "I wanted to buy a spiritual light because it was cheap. Why did I spend so much money on a strong light portable light?"
However.
Turning on the switch and looking at the bright beam of the strong-light portable lamp, he couldn't help but laugh: "You get what you pay for, this hand lamp is really powerful!" But he quickly turned off the switch, after all, he turned it on one more time
. If you know how, spend a little more psychic energy.
Looking at the bright lights in his house that had just been replaced recently, he felt both love and hate: "It's good, but it's too expensive. I have to replace so many bright lights this month, and I don't know what the psychic power will be next month." How much does it cost to recharge... Oh, Giant of Light!"
Ordinary people not only love the strong light brought by the Giant of Light, which provides brilliant light in the night, but also hate that this lamp is not cheap and consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
But for Duke, who invented the bright light technology, he only respected him and did not dare to be disrespectful at all.
But Clinda, the chairman of Runwanjia Spiritual Weapon Factory, who was hiding in her mage tower and looking at the financial bills sent by her subordinates, hated Duke with all her heart.
"What the hell, what a bullshit scholar title!"
"It's worthless, it's worthless!"
