Chapter 219 The Natural History Conference
lasted for nearly two days. The airship flew zigzag along the route between cities without stopping for a moment.
Eating, drinking, and defecation are all done in the air.
During this period, some flying spiritual beasts came to peek, and the knights and card warriors on the airship killed the spiritual beasts without Duke taking action.
Then several arcane mages tasted fresh spiritual beast barbecue.
"We're here, sir, I've already seen Runwu City!" Mulali was lying on the porthole, looking at the faint city skyline in the distance.
The most conspicuous ones are several mage towers standing on the hills.
One of the mage towers is no less grand than the Christian Mage Tower, and it is also a mage tower in the shape of twin towers.
The castle is connected into one, with two mage towers standing there.
This kind of twin-star mage tower shows that this family currently has at least two arcane mage of level 4 and above, otherwise there is no need to build two mage towers.
"Two arcane mages of level 4 and above, these are probably the Xiaoyu family." Duke stood up, walked to the porthole, and looked ahead.
When I chatted with Cowley and others before, I also got some general information about Runwu City.
The Wind Breath Domain has eight regions under its jurisdiction, and each region has a central city, such as Shenjiao City in the Black River.
The central city in the Red Sea region is Runwu City. At the same time, Runwu City is also the central city in the entire wind breath field. It is built on the edge of a spiritual river - the spiritual river is the top spiritual spring, flowing like a river. Flow outside.
A large spiritual spring that can feed millions of people.
Then the spiritual river can feed at least tens of millions of people.
So far, the Seven Towers Federation has only discovered twelve spiritual rivers within its territory, so it has only divided them into twelve domains.
In fact, with the strength of the Seven Towers Federation Arcane Mage, he can explore a wider area of the wilderness forest and find more spiritual rivers.
However, there are too few people and too much land to manage.
Even within the current twelve realms, there are still huge virgin forests that breed countless spiritual beasts and need to be cleared regularly. Once the eradication is not carried out in time, a tide of beasts may break out at any time, posing a huge threat to nearby cities and towns.
Population has always been the main factor restricting the development of the Seven Towers Federation.
What restricts the development of the population is the spiritual spring. Without the spiritual spring to cultivate arcane mages, even if the population increases greatly, the vast forest cannot be controlled.
"Therefore, the Seven Towers Federation plans to pass the results of the spiritual arcana step by step through the Erudite Tower and sink them to the people. I am afraid that the purpose is to allow the people to master some of the arcane power and gain the power to arm themselves." Only the people have their own power
. Only by ensuring the ability and allowing ordinary people to participate in guarding the territory can the arcane mages be freed to continue expeditions and exploration.
Duke's thoughts were a little distracted for a moment.
"Runwu City is really big. It feels several times bigger than Shenjiao City." Mu Lashan also came over, and together with Mu Lali, they exclaimed at the destination.
Duke is also a little excited. This city is really shocking.
The population of Runwu City is at least 10 to 20 million, and the mage towers and castles around the city alone are probably home to several million people.
Towering mage towers reaching into the clouds, and castles stretching into mountains.
Like a satellite, it guards the grand city on the rolling hills in front of it. High-rise buildings stretch in groups, streets extend in all directions, and occasionally there are also tower-shaped buildings that reach into the sky.
Especially the central area seems to be a forest of tall towers.
These towers were lined up in rows and were airtight. Duke suspected that arcane mages or high knights could even jump from one tower to another.
Vivian was standing in front of another porthole. Suddenly, she exclaimed: "Sir, look up at the sky. You can see the floating city in the gaps in the clouds!" "
Floating city?" Duke's eyes lit up.
Then he looked up at the city above Runwu City, and sure enough, he vaguely saw a huge gray building between a few white clouds.
You can't see the whole thing clearly, but you can feel its immensity and hugeness, which gives people a strong visual impact.
"It's Sankagome Floating Castle!"
Duke said softly, his tone full of wonder.
But Vivian could hear that there was a hint of fanaticism in Duke's exclamation, the kind of fanaticism that "can replace him."
"Sir, can you tell me about San Kagome's Floating City? I've heard of this floating city since I was a child, but I don't know much about it," Murali said.
Duke nodded.
While it would take some time for the airship to arrive at the station, he talked about some information he knew about San Kagome's floating city.
Kagome is a strange plant.
It usually grows in mountainous areas where there are gold, silver, copper, and iron mines. The more desolate the place, the better San Kagome grows.
If Reizhizan Kagome is discovered, it means that there must be mineral deposits underground.
At the same time, Reishiyama Kagome can make a potion of the same name. This potion can help spiritual beasts break through their shackles. It is a favorite potion among knights. It's a pity that Sankagome is scarce, and Sankagome potions are even less available, and they are basically monopolized by the big nobles.
The owner of this floating city named after Sankagome is Loren Sankagome.
In the entire Wind Breath Realm, there is only one Arcane Mage Mentor—the 7-ring Morning Star Arcane Mage Mentor, the Puppet Sage, the Formation Sage, the chief executive of the Union Tower of Runwu City, and the Guardian of the Seven Towers Federal Observation Tower in the Wind Breath Realm. United to the Tower Councilors.
"Loren Sangovi, the arcane mentor, was born in a humble family. He is the youngest son of a 0-ring knight. His parents gave birth to him during their adventure..." Who would have thought that
this humble little family would eventually cultivate a family? A towering arcane giant.
After Loren opened the spiritual sea, he quickly showed his outstanding talent. He was promoted to the arcane mage at the age of eighteen. After more than ten or twenty years, he was promoted step by step to the sixth-level sky arcane mage. Because he participated in many He pioneered the war and was made an earl.
So he gave himself and his family the surname "Sankagome".
It is said that this is because his father once longed for a Sankago potion to help his contract partners break through the first level and be promoted to the first level knight.
Unfortunately, this wish was not fulfilled until the adventure failed and he died.
"Later, Tutor Loren broke the shackles of fate and was promoted to the 7th Ring Morning Star Arcane Tutor. He built the Kagome floating city for himself and finally became a legend in the Wind Breath Domain and even the entire Seven Towers Federation." Duke. sighed.
In the spiritual arcane system, the arcane master's training system has nine levels.
Level 1 junior arcane mage, level 2 intermediate arcane mage, and level 3 advanced arcane mage. These three levels are collectively referred to as ordinary arcane mages.
The 4th-level Earth Arcane Mage, the 5th-level Ocean Arcane Mage, and the 6th-level Sky Arcane Mage. These three levels are collectively called the Great Arcana Mage.
The 7th-level Morning Star Arcane Instructor, the 8th-level Glowing Moon Arcane Instructor, and the 9th-level Sunlight Arcane Instructor. These three levels are collectively referred to as the Arcane Instructor.
However, the entire human civilization has eighteen national powers.
There has not yet been a 9th-level Sunlight Arcane Master, but the 8th-level Bright Moon Arcane Master is the limit for human beings to climb higher in the spiritual arcana.
"Our human exploration in the field of spiritual arcana has not yet touched the true core, but even if the 9th level is not reached, the 7th and 8th levels are still unimaginable heights for ordinary people. The practice of every arcane teacher, It's all related to the fate of all mankind."
Duke whispered the information about Sankagome's floating city, but he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and ambition in his heart.
There is a sense of mission that would be better than mine.
Others can still reach the level of 7th or 8th ring without the help of any golden fingers, but he has the ninth-ring skill.
An accompanying arcane weapon that combines Earth's artificial intelligence technology with the underlying logic of the wild world.
"My practice will definitely reach the 9th level, thereby enlightening and leading the spiritual arcana of the wild world to new heights!" When he thought of
this, Duke felt a faint desire to tremble in his body.
On earth, he is just a small boss who eats, drinks and has fun all day long and lives in a hazy way. But here, he has the opportunity to become the leader of human civilization, the prophet of spiritual arcana, and the light of the entire wild world!
How magnificent!
"Xiao Yi, we can do it, right?"
"Yes, Master, we will definitely become the light of the wild world, shining with great power on the whole world, so that everyone can bathe in your glory, Master." Following
Du Ke's own hardware continues to improve, and the database continues to expand its knowledge, and Xiaoyi's flattery skills become more and more proficient.
In just a few words, Duke felt relaxed and happy.
"Sir." Murali's question interrupted Duke's thoughts, "Do we have a chance to visit Sankago's floating city?"
After coming back to his senses, Duke's surging emotions quickly subsided.
When he turned back, his face had regained its calmness: "I'm afraid there's no chance, Loren Sangovi, the Offician instructor, spends at least half of the year working in the Officic Holy City, and he still has to find time for the remaining half. While touring various parts of the federation, I spent very little time actually living in the floating city."
He paused.
He continued: "And even if Master Loren is in the Floating City, we have no reason to visit him. There are too many people who want to visit him." "
That's such a pity." Murasan sighed at the side.
Mulali directly snorted: "What a pity. When you master master the arcane magic, you can still build a floating city. Maybe you will also build dungeons, crystal palaces, etc., and different mage towers!
" The empty city is a type of mage tower. Compared with the mage tower on land, the floating city is made of special materials and is equivalent to an arcane weapon.
The underground city built underground and the Crystal Palace built in the water are all special mage towers similar to the floating city.
There are even some arcane instructors who simply combine their battleships with mage towers and transform them into flying fortresses, capable of ascending to the sky, entering the earth, and turning over rivers and seas.
"You two, you are thinking too far." Duke rubbed the hair of the two girls.
Then he strode out of the luxurious cabin.
At this time, the airship had landed at the flight station on the outskirts of Runwu City. Cao Li, Dinjige, Aziguli and other Austrian mages had all disembarked from the airship, and Duke and his entourage gathered there.
"Is this Mr. Cowley?" A group of people came from the flight station, the leader of whom was wearing an arcane mage's robe.
"I am Cowley, who are you?"
"You can call me Taylor, Lord Cowley, distinguished scholars, I am the Erudite Tower of Runwu City responsible for welcoming you." "It turns out to
be Lord Taylor."
"Your Excellencies, , please follow me on the shuttle. A large hotel has been prepared for you at the Erudite Tower." Taylor was responsible for receiving several arcane mages, and the Erudite Tower staff he brought over helped arrange for Duke and others. of entourage.
After a moment of chaos, everyone got into the shuttle fleet one after another.
Duke, Cowley and others were sitting in the same large shuttle, and Taylor arranged for service staff to bring water and tea, as well as a bunch of snacks.
Perhaps because he is used to reception work, Taylor's service is warm and thoughtful.
At the end, Taylor looked at Duke with a smile: "Your Excellency Duke, you are now the learning target of our 1st Ring Arcane Mage. The bright light technology you invented has made the night in our Runwu City a city that never sleeps like daytime. Too It’s a dream.”
“As luck would have it, I just punctured a layer of window paper.” Duke responded with a smile.
At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a huge slide card billboard on the street, with a beautiful woman dancing under the streetlight.
Next to the picture is the advertising slogan: "The Giant of Light, illuminating the dreams of millions of families." The
advertising slogan has been upgraded. It originally illuminated the way home for millions of people, but now it illuminates the dreams of millions of families. However, the advertising taste is still very vulgar, which is to choose the most beautiful and sexy models to attract the attention of passers-by.
Taylor caught Duke's gaze.
He glanced at the advertisement that passed quickly outside the window and smiled: "The products of Giant of Light are in short supply, including our Erudite Tower. All lamps are purchased from Giant of Light. In the field of light sources, Your Excellency Duke, you are a well-deserved giant. ."
Duke chuckled and accepted the compliment.
However, it seemed that a slight cold snort came from not far away. You didn't need to look at Duke to know that it must have come from Aziguli.
Along the way, he didn't exchange a word with Aziguli.
Aziguli also turned a blind eye to him.
After Runwanjia took most of the responsibility for the sale of Clarinda's shares, it eased its previous decline, but the interests of shareholders were not less damaged.
Moreover, after this battle, the Runwan family was in full decline, but the giant of light was like the rising sun, flexing its muscles.
Many shareholders have already had the idea of withdrawing from Runwanjia, and the danger of collapse has become clear. Aziguli, like Clarinda, has long been incompatible with Duke.
Not long after.
The shuttle arrived at the Erudite Tower in Runwu City.
Duke and others were arranged to stay in the Drizzle Hotel near the Erxue Tower. They had exclusive suites for Arcane mages. There were spiritual spring water pipes that directly attracted spiritual energy, allowing each suite to maintain a full concentration of spiritual energy, allowing Arcane mages to practice with peace of mind. .
"Wow, sir, the suite here is so big!" Mulali exclaimed.
The Xiaoyu Hotel is one level more luxurious than the Shenjiao City Hotel, which is natural considering that Runwu City is the central city.
Duke walked around the suite and then left the suite.
It is now nine o'clock in the morning, and the natural history meeting of Runwu City will be held in the Erudue Tower in an hour.
"Duke, are you ready?"
"Everything is ready, Mr. Cowley, shall we go to the Erudite Tower now?"
"Yes."
Cowley led the team, and a group of seven scholars from Shenjiao City quickly left Xiaoyu Grand Hotel, went to the Erudite Tower of Runwu City.
Under the guidance of a dedicated person, you can take the spiritual staircase directly to the academic hall on the top floor.
Cowley and others quickly greeted the arcane mages they were familiar with. Duke was a pure newcomer and did not recognize a foreign scholar.
He also doesn't like forced social interaction.
Moreover, the scholars in the field are all very young, so there is a real generation gap in communication.
So I found a seat in the corner and sat down alone in the academic hall, silently waiting for the conference to begin.
Ten o'clock will arrive soon.
All the erudites found their seats and sat together in twos and threes, whispering.
"Ahem." The scholars didn't stop chatting until a few gray-haired arcane mages walked in and coughed softly.
One of the scholars, who looked to be the oldest, walked up to the rostrum.
Scanning the whole place, he waited until the whole place was quiet enough to hear the sound of a pin falling to the ground, then he slowly spoke: "Very good, this year's natural history meeting, people came quite neatly. As usual, I would like to introduce myself, I am the Erudite Tower of Runwu City. Chief Director, Jefferson Rockbird."
Duke in the audience felt awe-inspiring.
Jefferson Rockbird, 6th-level Sky Arcane Mage - At the 6th level, the Arcane Mage can already fly physically.
"In this hot summer this year, I thought it would still be the same old faces like you, but surprises are always everywhere, and a shining star breaks in."
Jefferson Yanque said, suddenly scanning the academic hall: " Who is the new scholar who invented the strong light technology, Duke?"
As he spoke, he turned his attention to Duke sitting in the corner.
The other Arcane mages also turned their heads and looked in Duke's direction.
There was a spotlight salute at the beginning, which really surprised Duke, but he still stood up calmly and nodded to everyone around him.
"As expected, he has a face that is too young. Come on, come on stage. I will give you the first academic report today."
Jefferson invited directly on the stage. After the invitation, he walked off the stage and sat down. He took the empty seat in the first row of the academic hall.
"Um..."
This situation really stunned Duke for a moment. He thought that Jefferson would have to talk for at least half an hour, and then other directors would come over to warm up the situation with a few words before inviting the scholar. They took the stage to give academic lectures.
Who would have thought that Jefferson only said a few words before he resigned and left the stage.
"Sure enough, arcane mages who have lived for a long time are more...willful." Duke complained in his heart, but did not waste time.
He left his seat directly and strode onto the podium.
"It's a bit sudden." Duke faced the scholars in the audience, with a charming smile on his handsome face, "I was already ready to applaud in the audience, but I didn't expect to be invited by the chief director to be the first Academic report."
Clearing his throat.
Duke continued: "When I was a child, I lived in the Welfare Institute of Sheshou Town, which was a border town. The kids loved to play, but I was the only one who liked to look up at the sky..." It's still the same story as before
. .
"I always have a lot of thoughts... When I grew up, I worked in a card repair shop... Why are the pulp boxes so expensive?" I am
too young and have too few stories.
Especially before Duke's time travel, the story of his previous life was almost boring, so he could only mention the old things again and again.
"An awakening potion requires 23 silver dragons."
"These 23 silver dragons helped me light up a lamp, illuminating me and the world I live in. It turns out that it is not so ordinary!"
Duke didn't like standing around. Speech, he paced on the podium.
I looked behind me and found that there was just a wall behind me, and the slide card showed several background promotional pictures about this natural history conference.
This gave him the idea that maybe when he attends an academic conference next time, he can make a PPT slide so that the audience can be completely immersed in the light and shadow story he outlined - after all, just speaking with your mouth will give you a little sense of immersion. weakness.
"During my spiritual apprenticeship, I lived on a farm... I forgot to tell you that I was actually a second-level elf envoy. During the Cuihai Valley Development War, a lost elf came to my door. It told me that it saw There is light here."
"Light!"
"Perhaps I have an indissoluble bond with light." "
The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to look for light." Duke recited a poem, "I often think , maybe it was the dim night in the orphanage that inspired me to explore lights and try to master the light myself." "
I invented the portable lamp... and I invented the strong light technology." "
The newspaper praised me as the son of the sun. , but who knew that the Son of the Sun was once just a child who was afraid of the dark."
Duke smiled confidently: "Just the night before yesterday, the airship flew over a market town. I looked down at the market town and saw that the streets had been replaced with When I turned on the bright street lamp, I suddenly felt happy. I can't say that I brought the light, but I really increased the brightness."
At this point, he paused.
Snap.
Someone in the audience understood and gave Duke a round of applause. Immediately, a large amount of not very neat applause broke out in the academic hall.
The attendees at the natural history conference were all polymaths, and there were more than a hundred people in total.
Duke had no fear, let alone being nervous and forgetting his lyrics, because Xiaoyi's fighting spirit holographic screen prompted him throughout the whole process.
When the applause subsided, he continued to speak with a smile: "Natural History is an ancient knowledge. Perhaps it did not arise not long ago in the Seven Towers Federation, but it is related to all aspects of human daily life, and it is also a driving force for The cornerstone of social development."
"I believe that the development space of natural history is as broad as the sea, so even a newcomer like me can make a mark in natural history." Duke shook the collar of his clothes and
said : "I am actually also a card maker. When I was studying slide cards, I was thinking that the spiritual weapon Lingfeng Lamp was invented by intercepting the luminous structure in the slide card. So, would it be wrong to add a few more structures? Wouldn’t it be able to shine brighter?”
Academic reports and speeches must ultimately return to the academic itself.
Duke clearly realized this, so the sensational motivational speech ended, followed by a further explanation of the bright light technology.
But in order to make the boring academic content more interesting.
Duke introduces the story of the light battle.
"The giant of light is constantly suppressed by the Runwan family. Although my family and friends firmly support me and I can start over even if I fail, I am always under great pressure. I don't want to let them down, and I don't want to let myself down." "There
. For a period of time, I couldn't get involved in business competition, but every night I thought hard about how to defeat the enemy!" "
Finally, I thought of slide cards and the strong light technology of series light-emitting structures!" "
..."
"I think you all already know the final outcome." Duke looked at the scholars who were intrigued by his story.
And Aziguli, whose face was extremely expressionless.
He ended his academic report with ease: "As soon as the bright light technology came out, the bright lighting lamps swept the market. The Erudite Tower in the Holy City of Offa helped me promote the technology, and the Giant of Light took over the entire trend in one fell swoop. market in the field of information!"
"I have won a great victory!"
"Light has finally defeated darkness!"
Facing the audience, bowing slightly, Duke finally said: "The above is my academic report today, "Orphans in the Welfare Home" Transform into light and dispel a touch of darkness in the corner of society - the thoughts and thoughts behind the invention of bright light technology."
Wow.
The applause was very enthusiastic, and the learned people gave Duke a kind approval for this young and excessively learned scholar.
I bowed several times on stage, and when I returned to the audience, the applause still didn’t stop.
After Duke sat down, he was very satisfied with his speech and sighed in his heart: "Every era pays attention to packaging. After my speech, I am afraid that the title of Son of the Sun will be confirmed... I don't know when. Go to the Holy City of Offa to give a speech!"
The speech was indeed a pleasure.
He now truly understands the feeling of those celebrities on Earth before time travel, giving speeches everywhere. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, this is the need for self-actualization.
"After a speech, my whole body seemed to be sublimated."
When another scholar came to the stage to give a report, Duke was still immersed in his own speech and couldn't extricate himself.
Even when he looked inside his spiritual sea, he could see that his spiritual core was shining brightly, as if it had been wiped clean.
Arcane mages need to constantly understand the spiritual arcana, and at the same time they also need to constantly affirm their self-understanding. Only by constantly thinking and thinking new can it last forever.
