Chapter 217 Cuihai Valley City Construction Plan
"Sir, I have decided!"
James came to Penrose Master Tower and saw Duke who had just sent the paper: "I have decided to be loyal to you, become your vassal, and assist you Manage the farm well!"
Duke was not surprised at all by James' choice.
The system of the Seven Towers Federation determines that arcane mages are the only ruling class. Others can only obtain the greatest benefits by relying on arcane mages.
James is a first-level spiritual plant envoy and has his own farm. The area is not large but not small either. But without the support of the arcane mage, he can only achieve this level in his life. It is impossible to become a farm tycoon with a monopoly.
"Very right choice, James." Duke said with a smile.
He is very satisfied with the addition of James. James is an old acquaintance he has known since his early days. He has good abilities and means and will be a very qualified vassal.
"Next, you will delist Duke James Farm. Well, let me think about it, just put up the sign of 'Lingchi Lingzhi Base'. From now on, the farm will be privately owned by me. As for your share of the equity, I will pay it according to the market price." Pay you."
A vassal is a follower of the master, but does not sell himself to the master.
The Seven Towers Federation has already abolished slavery, and even the servants of noble families are only nominally indentured workers.
In the office of the Mage Tower, Duke and James completed a simple follower ceremony and signed a vassal contract.
James then returned to the farm.
According to Duke's instructions, the farm's signboard was changed to Lingchi Farm.
The farm is divided into three parts. One part is planted with Yulu to help Ji Yulu evolve; the other part is planted with Chuixuezhu in an attempt to cultivate a new variety of Chuixuezhu with Lingchi genes; the third part is planned as an ant nest land.
Xiaohong has laid eggs in the nest. When they hatch, they will have their own ant colony. Duke will train the ant colony here.
When the ant colony expands, a group of female ants will be separated that can lay eggs.
Perhaps Duke can also recruit a group of Gu Knights to serve him, just like Bernoulli's Earth Arcane Mage did.
Gu control, like beast taming, is an important research field in spiritual arcana.
"Sir, actually I have an idea." James accompanied Duke, who came for inspection, to inspect Lingchi Farm.
"You said."
"For more than a year, whenever I have free time, I have come to cast spells on Ji Yulu and carefully record Ji Yulu's growth every day." The record James mentioned was arranged by Duke. "I gradually came up with an idea."
Duke walked slowly.
James continued to express his thoughts: "I feel that relying on Ji Yulu to infect ordinary jade dew, help ordinary jade dew evolve, and feed back Ji Yulu's natural power seems a bit insufficient, or it is still lacking something." Elves are magical creatures
, Throughout the Seven Towers Federation, there is very little research on elves.
It's not because elves are rare. In fact, no matter how few elves there are, there are still a lot of them on the scale of the Seven Towers Federation.
Many arcane mages have conducted research on elves, but they have not produced much research results.
Like the phantom beasts, humans have not yet grasped the key points in the gestation of elves, and they also know very little about the evolution of elves.
"Well, what do you think is missing?" Duke asked.
He had met another elf in the Keystone Wizard Tower before, the caterpillar-like Platycodon grandiflorum. Later, by asking Kylia, he learned how the Keystone Wizard Tower cultivated elves.
It’s similar to Duke’s method, which is to feed it enough spiritual crystals, and then let its body, the elf’s original spiritual plant, infect more spiritual plants to feed back the power of nature, help the spiritual plant’s body evolve, and then promote the small elf’s spiritual plant. The evolution of elves.
In fact, those old nobles all cultivate elves in this way.
"I think Ji Yulu lacks a little excitement." James has already mentioned his thoughts, "Ji Yulu infected the spiritual plant Yulu. It was Ji Yulu's unilateral contribution and only asked for a little poor natural power to return. But if we plant Will more high-level exotic spiritual plants, Jade Dew, give Ji Yulu more feedback?"
He continued: "Before, the farm had to make money, so I was focused on infecting Yulu spiritual plants and selling them to the outside world. Now the farm has become an adult. There is no need to consider making money in your experimental base, so I want to give it a try." "
Well, what you said makes sense. We can't rely on Ji Yulu alone to win the hope of evolution. We have to provide it with more help. !"
Duke agreed with James' idea.
Then he ordered: "Then, I will allocate a batch of funds for you to search for jade dew spiritual plants in the market, mainly 1-ring and 2-ring. Don't be afraid of spending money." Although Duke owes more than one
million Jinlong's account.
But he is not short of money, and royalties are constantly coming in. The sales dividends from Giant of Light and the dividends from Xibi Di are also big sources of income.
In addition, the Shenjiao City Hotel also increased his annual consultant bonus from 1,500 gold dragons to 12,000 gold dragons.
This is the value corresponding to the identity of a scholar.
Teacher Suktara is not in a hurry to repay the loan, so Duke has no financial pressure at all and can invest in his research as much as he wants.
After hearing this, James excitedly said, "Yes!"
"By the way, pack up that pot of 2-ring spirit plant and send it to my office. I can use it." Duke ordered again.
In the past two years, Ji Yulu has successfully infected a 2-ring spiritual plant - Cicada Yulu.
There are many varieties of Yulu, Ji Yulu and Chan Yulu are just one of them. They are closely related to each other and can be infected by Ji Yulu.
A 2-ring spiritual plant - Cicada Jade Dew, has a market price of about 13,000 gold dragons.
This is also the farm’s biggest asset in the past two years.
James was a little reluctant to part with it, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, sir."
"Don't be stingy and keep casting spells. Ji Yulu will bring us a new second-ring spiritual plant soon. As for this one, my teacher will ask for it soon." It's my birthday, I'll take it as a gift." Duke cared about his vassal's feelings and explained a little more.
He knew that since James saw the chicken, he had been thinking that he could also cultivate an elf, and then contract to become a second-level elf envoy.
Having goals is a good thing and will become a steady source of motivation.
Therefore, Duke does not want to hurt James, but always gives him a goal in life to chase, so that he can devote more energy and do his best for him.
Return to the Mage Tower.
Then he saw the assistant Mulali and his sister Mulashan talking and laughing in the office.
After meeting Duke, Mulali quickly stood up, brought tea and water, and handed over a letter: "Sir, this is an invitation letter from Rainbow Bay City. Master Taigolon Tower invites you to attend the event scheduled for next month. The academic salon on the 15th."
"Tegron Mage Tower?" Duke didn't know much about arcane mages in other cities.
However, Mulali had already done her homework in advance: "The owner of the Taigoron Mage Tower is the third-level arcane mage Taigoron Armadillo. He is a puppet scholar and likes to hold academic salons. Many young scholars in Shenjiao City are attracted by Taigoron. Invited to participate in the academic salon."
"Hmm." Duke took the invitation and looked at it twice.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Forget it, help me quit. I have no plans to contact the puppet field for the time being, so I won't go to any academic salons."
Rainbow Bay City is located in the bubble area, relatively far from Shenjiao City.
Even if you take the teacher's Shadow Chaser airship, it will take several days to get back and forth. If you include the time in the academic salon, it will take at least a week.
For Duke, this was a waste of time.
There is one more thing.
Duke is full of awe of the extraordinary world in his heart. He always feels that the Black Dragon River is his own territory and he feels safe here.
Once you leave the Black Dragon River and go to other areas, you will step into someone else's territory.
If something happens, even if you have the protection of the arcane mage, something may go wrong. In short, it is better to stay still than to move.
Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home and play with the assistants?
Mulali blinked her big watery eyes and said playfully: "Sir, Xiao Shanshan and I have recently learned some massage techniques. Do you want us to give you a massage? Can you tell us where we are not good enough? "
Well, have you learned massage techniques?" Duke smiled, "Come on, I'll give it a try, and I'll criticize you if it doesn't work well."
Mulali was eager to try: "Just wait and see."
Mu Lashan was a little shy, but her body was not lagging behind Mu Lali's. Two girls, one on the left and one on the right, pinched Duke's shoulders.
"Try harder, haven't you eaten?" Duke squinted his eyes, feeling that life was really comfortable.
The two girls immediately used all their strength to rub and push Duke. Soon they were sweating on their foreheads and panting.
Dang Dang Dang.
There was a knock on the door. Duke was immersed in the girl's massage and responded lazily: "Please come in."
Then he saw Kiliya pushing the door open. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that he was being treated by Mulali and Mulashan. Surrounded by Duke, he enjoys the good life.
He was slightly startled.
Duke opened his eyes and did not stop the two girls from serving. He just smiled and said hello: "Hi, Kylia, what's the matter?" "
I'll take a look at the chick. In addition, I also brought Platycodon. It Missing the chicks." Kilia came back to her senses and carried the basket to the desk with a smile.
Inside is a big snow-white caterpillar, which is the elf Platycodon grandiflorum.
Platycodon climbed out of the basket, stood up on the desk, and said crisply: "Duke, I'm looking for a chicken to play with."
He patted his belly, and the chicken came out with a swish.
After seeing Platycodon, he grinned: "Little white insect, come to play with me!"
"My name is Platycodon."
"I know, your name is Platycodon, little white insect." The little chicken doesn't care what the other person's name is. "Let's go, I'll take you flying!"
It landed on the table, Platycodon quickly climbed on its back, and then the chicken took off, swimming and flying around the office with Platycodon.
At this time, Duke also waved to Mulali and Mulashan to stop: "Okay, you guys should have a rest, and give Ms. Kilia a glass of water." "Yes,
sir."
"You enjoy it very much. ." Kiriya smiled after sitting down.
"Singing over wine, life is like dew in the morning, but it will be more bitter in the days gone by." Duke read a poem, which was a poem he adapted from the earth into the text here.
Maybe the words of the two worlds are incomprehensible, but the beauty of art can transcend all barriers.
Kiliya listened to Duke's poetry, her beautiful eyes shining: "Is this a poem you wrote?"
"How is it?" Duke asked.
"Very good, but it sounds very free and easy, but the artistic conception is a bit bleak." Kilia said and looked at Duke carefully, "I thought I had seen your genius side, but I didn't expect you to be so versatile, and The talent of a bard."
"Young Qing Zi Jin is in my heart, but for the sake of you, I still ponder it." Duke read two more lines of poetry.
When Mulali brought the tea, she took a sip and then responded: "Think about Master Ao's lifespan, which is at least more than a hundred years. If I only have practice and research for the rest of my life, it will be too boring. Enjoy life and love Life is equally important."
"You live more clearly than most people."
"You can do it too." "
But I don't have so many artistic abilities." Kylia flipped up her wavy golden hair, He said with emotion, "I really envy you. You can do what you like without restraint and don't care about what others think." "How can you be so
emotional about life? This is not what we should do at this age?"
"No, maybe I'm a little tired from building arcane wonders recently."
"Which arcane spell did you choose?"
"Water Shield."
"Water Shield, well, the blood of the Raging Waves family is very good at water attribute arcana. Big blessing, right?" Duke inquired curiously.
Usually these are the secrets of nobles.
However, Duke and Kiliya are already good friends, so they can discuss some sensitive issues.
Kiriya did not hide it and said: "Our family's bloodline is the bloodline of the Raging Dragon. It needs to be promoted to an arcane mage to activate it. The conditions are relatively harsh, but once it is activated, it has a natural affinity in the field of water attribute arcana, which can greatly Increase the power."
She continued: "When I build the water shield arcane wonder, my instant water shield will be as powerful as a 2nd level arcane spell." "Wow, how enviable
! "Duke clicked his tongue and exclaimed.
In other words, maybe after Kiriya instantly casts the Water Shield Technique, his Sand Eagle and the bullets may not be able to penetrate the Water Shield Technique.
In other words, Kylia is almost invincible against an ordinary level 1 arcane mage.
"Except for me, if one shot can't penetrate, I will fire a few more shots. If this doesn't work, when the Sand Eagle 1.52 special effect bullet-element version is developed, I will immediately ask Xiaoyi to develop the strafing function. I don't believe in Duohou. I can't penetrate your armor!"
Duke was confident in himself.
Kiriya could tell that Duke didn't really envy the blood of the Raging Dragon in her body, and she wasn't surprised by this either.
Some arcane mages like the blessings brought by the blood of spiritual beasts, while some arcane mages like the pure power of spiritual arcana.
The higher the level of arcane mage, the more they like pure spiritual energy.
Pure psychic energy is more convenient for painting. Inspiring the bloodline of spirit beasts is like drawing a fixed background on white paper, limiting more possibilities.
"With Duke's confidence and talent, he will definitely be promoted to the Great Ao Mage. It is normal to look down on the blood of spiritual beasts." Kiriya thought.
Then he stopped talking about the bloodline of spirit beasts and said, "I am here today. In addition to letting Platycodon play with the chickens, I also have news to tell you." "
What news?"
"Grandpa Ancestor brought the other people to the Five Towers meeting. The six members set off to Cuihai Valley together, and they were ready to find out. If it is confirmed that it is a large spring, they will submit an urban development report to the Holy City of Austria and build a city in Cuihai Valley." "What is Bernoulli's Master Tower
? Reaction?" Duke became interested.
"I don't know yet. Grandpa Grandpa said he wanted to catch Lord Bernoulli off guard." Kylia laughed, "Grandpa Grandpa doesn't like Bernoulli very much." "I
can understand that Sir Christian advocates frontal attack. No. I like to stand behind the bugs and clean the battlefield silently."
As a Gu control scholar, Bernoulli likes to use bugs to pave the way for war.
"If it's really a large spring, I'm afraid the plan for the Cuihai Valley development war will have to change. I don't know how Bernoulli's Master Tower will respond." "I don't know, just
keep silent." Duke was very calm. He was too high. Low, destined to be unable to get involved, "Anyway, Sir Christian promised me that he would give me the chick's grandma. My biggest expectation for Cuihai Valley is the chick's grandma." "With an ancient spirit,
you What are you going to do?"
"I haven't thought about it, maybe I will build a mage tower and let Xiaoji's grandma become the tower spirit. However, a mage tower often costs millions of gold dragons, and I will definitely not be able to build it in a short time." Once upon a time, his wish was to have an airship.
Now, his wish has become to build a mage tower of his own.
It can't even be said to be a wish, because he already has enough strength to make preliminary preparations for building the mage tower.
Chatted with Kiriya for a while.
Kiriya then politely said goodbye and left, taking away the crazy elf Kikyo.
"Duke, I miss Platycodon grandiflorum." The chicken was suspended at the door of the office, waving its thick tail in a disappointed manner.
"You have just been separated for one minute and six seconds." Duke gave the precise time.
The chicken turned back: "So what?"
"As long as you are happy, come back to Qihai?"
"Go back."
Mulali opened the door and came in. After seeing Duke, she jumped up and hummed a song, and then Help organize the documents on the table.
"Why are you so happy?"
"No." Mulali shook her head in denial, and then couldn't help but secretly laugh, "Sir, Ms. Kiliya has been very diligent recently, and sir, have you seen it? Xiaoshan and I When Shan gave you a massage, Miss Kiriya was obviously a little unhappy."
"Really?"
"Of course, sir, Miss Kiriya must have fallen in love with you!" Mulali was very satisfied with this. He firmly believed it and promised, "This is an accurate judgment based on my woman's intuition!"
"A woman?"
Duke chuckled.
...
A shocking news spread throughout the Black Dragon River.
"The spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley is a large spiritual spring. The Holy City of Aufa is about to approve the construction of a new city in Cuihai Valley!" "It is said that the new city also belongs to
our Black Flood River and exists as a sub-regional center!" "
A large number of Foreign mercenaries are coming soon!"
"The Black Snake family is about to develop. It is adjacent to the future city. Sheshou Town may be connected with the new city!" "It is said that an arcane mage has gone to
Cuihai Valley to explore the springs. There must be many scattered small springs around the large spiritual spring. These are good locations for building mage towers in the future." "
Cuihai City?"
"Didn't you say that Mr. Bernoulli wants to use Cuihai Valley as a family fief? , after building a city, how can we fief the land?"
"Then find another medium-sized spiritual spring and use it as your own fiefdom."
Keithon Nutao, with the members of the leadership team of the Five Towers Conference, rushed to Cuihai Valley in person, Investigate deeply into the springs of spirituality. It was found that the spiritual spring in Cuihai Valley showed the characteristics of a medium-sized spiritual spring after half of it was blocked during an earthquake.
Then it was revealed to the media, and with the newspaper's omissions, the matter became known to everyone.
"Teacher, how is the situation?"
There was just a simple message in the newspaper. Duke wanted to know more. In addition to asking Kiriya, he could also ask his teacher.
Suktara serves as the internal supervisor of Union Towers, and these matters cannot escape her.
"The city plan has been submitted to the Holy City of Austria and will be approved soon. By then, I, Shenjiao City, should be the leading party. However, the Union Tower of Runwu City will definitely participate. As for the Bernoulli Master Tower, it should not be involved. Be willing to give up."
Runwu City is the central city of Fengxi Domain, equivalent to the provincial capital city.
Shenjiao City is equivalent to an ordinary prefecture-level city.
However, the relationship between the Union Tower of Runwu City and the Union Tower of Shenjiao City, although at different levels, is not a superior-subordinate relationship.
Each region of the Seven Towers Federation has considerable autonomy.
This is also the normal system of federal countries.
Not only cities like Heijiaohe Land and Shenjiao City have great independence, even the market towns under their jurisdiction are basically aristocratic fiefdoms, and they also have great independence.
"Can you confirm that after the establishment of the city, Cuihai Valley will serve as the sub-center of Heijiao River instead of planning a new area independently?" "It's almost the same. The geographical
location of Cuihai Valley and Shenjiao City is too close, dividing the two regions. If they do, both sides will be greatly restricted in their development. If the men of the Holy City of Offa are not stupid, they will not plan a new region." A region, a city, is the general plan of the Seven Towers Federation
.
But there is also an area with special cases of two or even three cities. The main reason for the existence of these special cases is that large spiritual springs are close to each other.
"If this is true, the development of Black Dragon River Land will inevitably rise to new heights." Duke praised.
"So, there are definitely a lot of people coming to grab food."
"Just grab it. As long as the meat rots in the pot of Heijiao River, there is nothing wrong with it. If you can accommodate the Bernoulli family, you can tolerate it." Get more arcane mage families and develop the Black Flood River together. Making it bigger and stronger is the way to go." "
Your layout is quite big." Suktara looked at Duke gently, becoming more and more satisfied. , "That is to say, you are a bit young and have not grown up, otherwise you will definitely become a trend-setter in the big event of Cuihai Valley's city construction." "I don't have the idea of being a trend-setter. I just want to practice, research, and study in a down-to-earth manner
. Spiritual arcane magic is more important than making meritorious deeds."
"If you think so, the teacher will be relieved."
The teacher and the student stopped talking about the topic and soon entered the teaching mode and began to study how to design Shanfeisi's arcane weapon.
Shanfeis's materials were still almost complete, but that didn't stop him from informing the two of them in advance of the arcane weapon he envisioned, so they could plan and design it in advance.
"Psychic sensing tentacles, your classmate seems to be bent on studying medicine for ordinary people." Suktala said after looking at the design requirements.
The arcane weapon that Shanfei wants to forge.
It is a piece of auxiliary equipment that can penetrate into a person's body like a small tentacle, strengthening the arcane mage's psychic perception to more accurately discern subtle changes in the human body.
It gave Duke the impression that he was going to build an endoscope.
"Teacher, I have some ideas about this arcane weapon." He put forward some suggestions based on his knowledge of endoscopes in his previous life.
I felt a little sad in my heart.
In my previous life, I made a little money and went out to eat, drink and have fun, which drained my body. I developed a lot of problems at a young age. But I was very afraid of death, so I frequently had gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Fortunately, they were all performed under anesthesia, so I didn’t suffer much pain.
"Your idea is very good. When we design, we can retain the functions that Shanfeis wants and at the same time help him improve the effect of the arcane weapon." Suktala entered the
teaching mode and began to teach Duke almost step by step. Design arcane weapons, how to design spell models.
And Duke is like a sponge, greedily absorbing all knowledge.
And it can absorb the knowledge completely without leaving a drop - Xiaoyi can not only store the information without reservation, but also play it repeatedly, allowing Duke to reproduce the details of teaching anytime and anywhere, ensuring that there is no leakage.
Time is in teaching, passing by bit by bit.
On the progress chart of Duke Linghai, the original Sand Eagle 1.52 Special Effect Bullet-Elemental Edition was stuck at 95.4% progress. Due to technical difficulties that could not be overcome, there has been no new progress.
This time, following Suktara's explanation, Xiaoyi obtained new data and overcame the technical difficulties in one fell swoop.
The progress is so fast that it can be said to be a rapid leap.
Without disturbing Duke, Xiaoyi simply sketched a text on the Dou Qi holographic screen: "Congratulations, master, for successfully developing the Sand Eagle 1.52 bullet special effects - elemental version. The power of the one-ring Sand Eagle is even more powerful and unpredictable."
"At the same time, according to the owner's previous settings, a new process will be added for you... Process 3: Sand Eagle 1.6 continuous version, R&D consumes 19% power..." Please vote~
