Chapter 229 Erudite Sage Duke
The popularity of any news is time-limited. Even Duke’s record-breaking promotion to the second level Arcane Mage will dissipate over time.
In addition, Duke himself deliberately kept a low profile, which made the heat dissipate even faster.
But this played into Duke's hands.
People visit him every day, even arcane mages from other cities who travel thousands of miles to visit, which makes him extremely annoyed.
At first I was a little complacent, thinking that I was already a big shot, so there was an endless stream of guests. But over time I got tired of it, so I closed the door and concentrated on research, which was more in line with my pursuits.
"The biggest difference between arcane weapons and spiritual weapons is the degree of spiritual involvement."
Suktara held a little puppy and stood quietly behind Duke, watching Duke handle the spiritual materials while explaining the key points of knowledge. .
"For example, the raw material in your hand comes from the spirit beast, and it contains rich spirituality. But this spirituality is more in the way of storage, juxtaposed with the material itself. If it is left for a long time, the spirituality will naturally dissipate. "
Such a material cannot be called a spiritual material without being refined through alchemical means. It is just a simple spiritual raw material." "
Only when it is refined through alchemical means and the spirituality and the material itself are completely tanned together can it be considered a spiritual material." Spiritual materials can be preserved for a long time without losing their spirituality - of course, over time, the spirituality and the material may corrode each other and easily deteriorate." "
Only spiritual beasts with levels 4 and above can cross the spiritual barrier, and the spirituality of the body Only then will they be directly integrated into the organization, regardless of each other, and this will be a natural spiritual material."
Duke kept busy, and the Austrian hand was also busy, and responded in his mouth: "Spiritual beasts of level 3 and below have different levels of spiritual and physical participation. High, easy to volatilize; spirit beasts of level 4 and above have high spiritual and physical involvement and cannot volatilize." "
You understand very thoroughly." Suktara nodded.
Duke then drew inferences: "When it comes to arcane weapons, spiritual weapons, and quasi-arcane weapons, spiritual weapons have no spiritual involvement, or only have a solidified spell model structure that requires spiritual energy stimulation; arcane weapons have a high degree of spiritual involvement and are themselves A kind of psychic energy, just guided by thoughts."
"Is that so?"
"What about the quasi-arcane weapon?"
"The quasi-arcane weapon is to use arcane-level materials and solidify it into a An ordinary spiritual weapon. When used, its arcane weapon properties can be quickly activated to achieve functions that cannot be achieved by spiritual weapons." "
So that's it." Duke expressed his understanding.
Xiaoyi was also in the spiritual sea and quickly responded with information: "Xiaoyi understands, and it has been included in the underlying parameters of the database."
Duke may miss every dialogue and knowledge point in the teaching, but Xiaoyi will never miss it. meeting.
The spiritual sea is infinite, so Xiaoyi's database capacity is also infinite.
It can store all the information that Duke comes into contact with, including what the eyes see, what the ears hear, what the nose smells, and what the skin senses, and can be retrieved and replayed anytime and anywhere.
The 9 rings itself represents an infinite possibility.
"You are now a 2nd level arcane mage and can start refining quasi-arcane weapons. The teacher will give you all the knowledge of quasi-arcane weapons in the next time." Suktara smiled happily.
Some teachers are afraid that their students will steal their jobs, while others hope that their students will excel. Here in Suktala, the better Duke is, the happier she will be.
"Thank you, teacher."
"Everything about the teacher will be left in your hands. When the teacher dies, you will have to help me take care of my funeral. You are just like the teacher's child. There is no need to say thank you in the future."
Duke He smiled and said: "Teacher, don't always think about death. With spiritual guidance, everything is possible. Perhaps once you have an epiphany, you can break through the fog of spiritual arcana, be promoted to a great arcana mage, and prolong your life." Suktala did not refute
. , just responded gently: "Teacher believes in you."
The experiment is over, and today's teaching ends here.
Although Duke has graduated from Penrose Master Tower, Suktara does not occupy Duke's time from morning to night. Usually half-day classes are arranged, and Duke has free time for the remaining half-day.
So in the afternoon, Duke returned to Tower 2 and started the daily training of the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage.
There is no substantial leap between Ring 2 and Ring 1.
After all, 1st-level, 2nd-level, and 3rd-level arcane mages are all ordinary arcane mages and cannot break through the fog of spiritual arcane magic, so there will be no qualitative change in the level of life.
"Xiao Yi, report the progress."
"Good master." Xiao Yi projected the progress chart directly onto the Dou Qi holographic screen, "The progress has been clearly listed."
Process 1: Exclusive meditation method, vision resonance, hanging up consumes 15% Power...
Process 2: Elemental Shield-Arcane Shield, wonder linkage, construction consumes 70% power... Process 3:
Sand Eagle 2.0, arcane weapon sublimation, research and development consumes 10% power...
Process 4: Arcane Hand 2.0, arcane weapon sublimation , R&D consumes 4% of the power...
Process 5: Interactive program, 1% of the power is reserved...
There are five processes, each process has clear data display, and you only need a flash of thought to click on it.
"After being promoted to the second level, although there is no qualitative change, there are many details." Duke glanced at the progress and thought to himself.
The first is the practice of meditation. The efficiency of the exclusive meditation method in absorbing free spiritual particles has been greatly improved. Moreover, the vision that could originally assist the meditation method to speed up the absorption efficiency can now resonate after the level is raised.
Duke has 11 visions that resonate with each other, making the exclusive meditation method at least double the efficiency of absorbing spirituality.
Meditation does not increase knowledge of spiritual arcana.
But without the meditation method to absorb spiritual particles, there would be no materials in the spiritual sea to build arcane wonders, and there would be no spiritual energy to drive arcane weapons.
Therefore, the exclusive meditation method must be practiced every day.
"The elemental shield and the arcane shield are linked to each other, and the defense will be further improved. My safety will be more guaranteed!"
He looked at the second process and was delighted.
2nd Ring Arcane Mage, the spiritual core in the spiritual sea, has a second ring orbit, and new arcane wonders can be built on this ring orbit.
Moreover, the arcane wonders on the two orbits can be linked with each other to enhance each other's power. This is wonder linkage.
Of course, the two arcane wonders that are linked together must have similar characteristics, otherwise the linkage will fail.
The best linkage target for a 1-level arcane shield is a 2-level elemental shield.
If arcane shields are made of pure spiritual energy, then elemental shields are made of inspired elements. Not only are their defenses stronger, their defensive attributes can also have multiple changes.
Linked with each other's wonders, you can instantly cast a 2-ring combined arcane-element arcane shield.
However, correspondingly, the construction of the second-level arcane wonder took longer. The time budget given by Xiaoyi was more than 700 days, which is two years.
"Two years to sharpen a sword, that's okay." Duke didn't think it was a long time.
For arcanists, time is not that tight. It usually takes more than ten years or even decades to practice in one realm.
There's plenty of time to build arcane wonders.
As for three and four on the progress chart, the arcane weapon is sublimated.
One is to upgrade the Sand Eagle to 2.0, that is, evolve the first-level Sand Eagle into the second-level Sand Eagle. The other is to upgrade the Arcane Hand to 2.0. Neither of these options is urgent, so only a little power is allocated to it.
"Practice. Visible progress will make boring practice a kind of enjoyment." Duke closed his eyes.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I practiced until dusk.
Dang dang dang, the door of the training room was knocked, and the voice of housekeeper Morris rang out: "Master, Ms. Kiriya is here to visit, and she also brought the elf Platycodon." Opening your eyes,
two divine lights came out in the dim training room. Flash past.
Duke stood up and responded: "I'll go down right now."
As he went downstairs, he called the chicken out of the air. The chicken's appearance didn't change much and it swam downstairs quickly.
After seeing Platycodon, he took Platycodon and started playing wildly in the tower.
"Kilia, are you off work?" Duke called Kilia Furtao to take a seat, then picked up a small apple, quickly peeled the apple with a knife, and handed it over.
"Thank you." Kilia smiled sweetly.
Her favorite fruit is apples, and she eats two apples every day. Perhaps because of this, her skin can break.
I took a bite of the apple and found it extremely sweet.
Jilia said: "The company has been registered. According to the name you gave it, it will be called DreamWorks Film and Television Company." "
Not bad, not bad, very fast." Duke said happily, "After DreamWorks is established, you will recruit people. Talents, research and development of film and television related technologies; on the one hand, we need to find actors suitable for acting, and writers who can write scripts to interpret movies."
Although there are no movies, there are dramas, dramas, musicals, and the Seven Towers Federation is still flourishing to this day.
In other words, it has the foundation of film and television entertainment.
"To achieve the level of phantom you describe, current film and television technology is definitely not enough. The capacity of the slide card is too small." "It's okay
, just expand it slowly." Duke said with a smile.
If a movie uses 24 frames as the standard, it means 24 frames per second. At ninety minutes, there are 129,600 images.
The standard capacity of a 1-ring slide card is about 10 images.
It is equivalent to saying that to make a Phantom requires 12,960 slide cards. This is not playing a movie, it is burning money.
So I wanted to shoot a phantom.
What DreamWorks Pictures needs to do is a long way to go, especially in technology research and development, which requires a lot of energy.
"Duke, my family's Mage Tower is not very good in related academic research fields, and my grandfather has not taught students for a long time." Kiriya
suggested: "So I want DreamWorks to cooperate with Suktala Mage Tower Cooperate and publish relevant topics to the Mage Tower, and then the Mage Tower will hire arcane mages to conduct research and develop film and television related technologies." Duke nodded: "
No problem."
Then he added: "Otherwise, you can simply talk to Mentor Penrose Say, you also have a part-time job in Suktala. Film and television technology is mainly the study of slide cards, which will also help you learn card making." Kiriya's eyes turned into
crescents: "That's what you think. Want me to come to Suktara Master Tower every day?"
"Why not, you can achieve multiple goals with one stone." Duke said with a smile.
"Then I'll tell my mentor. I don't know if the mentor will agree. My talent is not as high as yours, and the mentor may not agree with my distraction." "How can
this be a distraction? It's equivalent to you picking up a It's just a related research topic in the field of card making." Duke took Kylia's hand and said, "It doesn't take much energy for you to lead a project here."
Kylia did not take away her hand and let Duke hold it. , and then said with a mixture of shyness and joy: "I listen to you."
"Stay with me for dinner tonight?"
"No, my parents specifically told me to go back for dinner at night." Kylia gave Duke An apologetic look.
Duke naturally understands the attitude of Kilia's parents - they don't interfere with their daughter's making friends, but don't think about anything outrageous.
When it got dark, Kiriya reluctantly said goodbye and left, taking the crazy Kikyo with her.
Watch the shuttle disappear around the corner.
The chicken was a little disappointed: "Duke, when will you take down Big Ponyo, I can play with Platycodon every day." "It wo
n't work if you take her down, Platycodon is not Kylia's elf." Duke shook his head.
Kylia has not opened the sea of air, so she cannot contract with the elves.
Platycodon is contracted to a 2nd-level elf-wielding member of the Nutao family, who is responsible for cultivating the spiritual plant rice for the Nutao family - its body is the 2nd-level elf original spiritual plant-Xiang Indica Valley, which can infect the close relatives of the rice.
"But Platycodon can be used as Kiriya's dowry." Xiaoji looked like he was actively advising Duke. "The old blond man likes Kiriya so much, so he must agree to use Platycodon as dowry!" "Stop it, don't think too much
. More." Duke was too lazy to talk nonsense.
My fair lady, a gentleman likes to be jealous, but what the future will be like with Kylia, I can’t tell yet.
After all, there is a Raging Wave family behind Kiriya.
And he himself planned to develop for a few years before going to the Holy City of Aufa to gain more knowledge.
In the future, we may visit all eighteen human countries and then explore deep into the wild jungle.
How can you be trapped in a small place for a lifetime after traveling through time?
"Let nature take its course is the best choice." Duke patted the chicken, "Hurry back to the Qi Sea and rest, we have to practice together at night." The
chicken muttered: "You know how to squeeze me!"
"You and me . As one, if I squeeze you, I'm squeezing myself. This can only mean that I'm diligent and hardworking." "I'm too lazy to pay attention to
you!" The chick bumped into his stomach and disappeared.
"Jiji!" Xiao Dou, who had been playing outside all day, followed Levin back home before dark.
"Levin, where did you go to play?"
"To Lingchi Farm, Master." Levin replied with a naive smile, "Xiao Dou played with Xiao Hong for a long time."
Lingchi Farm has moved to Suktala Outside the castle of the Mage Tower, Xiaohong's lair naturally migrated here.
Duke learned some skills in animal taming, so he went to practice with Xiao Hong when he had time, and trained these 5-level burrowing army ants to be docile.
The ant colony is still small now, and after new female ants are separated and laid eggs, the 0-ring knights can contract with the female ants and become Gu Knights. With the help of Gu Knight, the entire ant colony is brought under control and becomes a great help.
Bernoulli is proficient in this art. He is a Gu control scholar and controls several armies of spiritual insects under his command.
"Is Xiaohong friendly to Kabuto?" Duke asked.
"Friendly, Xiaohong also asked his men to bring a lot of dried meat to Xiaokaou, and even gave me one!" Levin replied excitedly.
Since moving to Suktala Master Tower, he has been playing around with his little pocket all day long, and his life is extremely happy.
Duke is also happy about this situation.
He has always regarded Levin as his family, and even once discussed with Xiaoyi the possibility of helping Levin open the sea of blood without damaging Levin's body. Unfortunately, Xiaoyi did not.
Now that Levin is getting older, it is even less likely that he will open the sea of blood.
In fact, you can't open the Blood Sea at the age of fifteen or sixteen, so there is basically no possibility of opening it - Xiaoyi is an exception.
"You go and rest, Xiao Dou stays."
"Jiji."
"Follow me to the yard. I want to test your cultivation progress during this period. If there is no progress, Levin will not be allowed to take you out to play next time. "Although Duke doesn't expect Kabuto to evolve into a fantasy beast.
But he will not indulge Xiao Dou and must be strictly supervised.
If there is a possibility of evolution, you have to work hard to realize it. If spirituality really favors you, wouldn't it be a good thing?
"Jiji!" Xiao Dou also knew that it was about a happy life for a period of time in the future, so he held back all his strength and moved around in the yard.
One will release the 1st level arcane spell - Sharp Burr, and the other will release the 1st level arcane spell - Rock and Earth.
This is its only solidified arcana.
In Duke's eyes, no matter how hard it works, its strength is still inferior. Duke doesn't even need to take out the sand eagle or use arcane magic. He can kill it simply by relying on his fighting spirit armor.
However, at least one thing is that Kabuto did work hard and made considerable progress compared to the last time.
"Very good, your performance is up to par."
"Jiji!"
"Go, go, go find Levin." Duke shook his head and laughed. His contracted spirit beast partner's heart was no longer with him.
"Playful little guy!"
...
At the end of March, catkins were flying.
It was drizzling in Runwu City. In the arcane projection room of the observation tower, the instrument lit up, and then a handsome middle-aged arcane mage walked out.
The middle-aged Arcane mage saw a white-haired old man waiting in the room at a glance, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Montgomery, the envoy from the Observation Tower of the Holy City of Arcana, has met Chief Director Siskoli." "It turns out it's him
. Envoy Montgomery, I have never seen you before, are you the new envoy?" Siskoli asked.
"Yes, I have just taken office less than three months ago."
"You must not be over eighty years old, right?" Siskoli exclaimed, "You are really young, a great arcane mage who is less than eighty years old." "That's
my point The talent is far behind, and nothing compared to the record-breaking young arcane mage in Shenjiao City." Montgomery smiled, "This time my arcane projection came here to convey instructions related to Duke."
" Please say."
"After being recommended by the Supreme Review Committee of the Erudite Tower in the Holy City of Offa, and approved by the Judgment Committee of the Tower of Offa, Duke was approved and canonized as a learned sage. Please run the Wu City Observation Tower and escort Duke to the Tower of Offa to receive the title. Ceremony."
Montgomery read out the decree with a serious face.
Siskoli immediately responded in a deep voice: "Please send the envoy back to the Holy City Observation Tower. Siskoli will personally escort Duke to the Holy City to accept the investiture ceremony!" After completing the handover of the task,
Montgomery resumed his smile: "Excuse me. The chief director has made a trip in person."
"This is what I should do as the chief director of the observation tower." Siskoli smiled, "Being able to witness the birth of a sage with my own eyes is also a great achievement for me. It's a matter of great honor."
"Then I will be in the Holy City to welcome the arrival of the chief director and the learned sage." Without much nonsense, Montgomery's figure dispersed.
Sisko Liton sighed with emotion: "Learned Sage, a nineteen-year-old learned Sage, spiritual love for him!"
and then left the arcane projection room.
He quickly ordered his assistant: "Prepare the battleship Canglan. I'm going to Shenjiao City." "
Yes, sir."
Not long after, a blue battleship that seemed to blend into the blue sky slowly took off. Fly towards the west.
Battleships are faster than airships, but only to a limited extent.
After a two-day and one-night voyage, the battleship Blue finally arrived in Shenjiao City on April 1st and anchored at the battleship berth of the Keyston Master Tower.
Everyone knows and acquiesces that Shenjiao City is the territory of the Nutao family.
Christian Raging Waves is the master of Shenjiao City.
"Your Excellency Siskoli, you are welcome to be our guest." Christian, with his lion-like blond hair, greeted him with a big smile.
"I'm not here to be a guest, Keithon. Congratulations on the birth of a great person in Shenjiao City." Siskoli cupped his hands, "The spirituality of the Black Dragon River is just like the newly discovered Cuihai Valley. Like a spring, it is enviable."
"What do you mean?"
"Recommended by the Erudite Tower, and ruled by the Offa Tower, Duke is officially canonized as an Erudite Sage. I will personally escort him immediately and go to the Holy City of Offa to attend the conferment ceremony. "
"Really?" Even though Christian had expected it, he was still shocked when he suddenly heard the news.
"From the fact that he invented film and television technology, you can guess that the title of Erudite Sage will never escape. Now not only our city, Runwu City, but probably all the scholars in the entire Seven Towers Federation are studying film and television technology."
After a pause, he added: "Strong light technology illuminates the night, and film and television technology changes the world. If he doesn't take the title of sage, who is qualified to take it?" "
Spirituality is above, so strong and so strong!"
"Spiritual love Him!"
After sighing with emotion, Christian said: "Sir Siskoli, please come in and drink tea. I will send someone to notify Duke and invite him over. After lunch at my place at noon, we will set off to Offa. It's not too late for the Holy City."
"That's fine, then I'll bother you."
"You're welcome, sir." Christian smiled.
Then they walked side by side into the mage's tower, took the spiritual ladder to the small zenith garden, and drank tea while waiting for Duke.
Less than half an hour.
Duke came by shuttle and followed the butler to the small zenith garden.
"Duke, come on, I'll introduce you to you." Christian started waving from afar, "This is His Excellency Siskoli, the chief director of the observation tower of Runwu City, the 6th ring sky arcane mage, here specially. I'm looking for you!"
"I've met Lord Siskoli." Duke was confident and saluted without being humble or overbearing.
Siskoli looked at Duke with a smile, and was not in a hurry to speak. He looked at Duke for a full minute before saying: "Spirituality, I see a strong spirituality in you. Mr. Christian said you were soaked in the spring." , I believe it now."
"You are wrong."
"But no, Sage Duke."
"Sage?" Duke narrowed his eyes and asked knowingly.
Siskoli was not willing to lie any more: "The Tower of Offa has officially awarded you the title of Erudite Sage, but you need to go to the Holy City to participate in the awarding ceremony. I will personally escort you on this journey." Passed
?
No surprises?
Duke had fantasized many times about how he would perform when he received the title of Erudite Sage, but his heartbeat was still racing at this moment.
A learned sage has a status that can be equal to that of the great master.
Perhaps in big cities like Aofa Holy City and Runwu City, the Great Ao Mage is a bit ordinary, but in a small city like Shenjiao City, the Great Ao Mage is the ceiling.
But now, Duke has touched the ceiling of Shenjiao City.
Trying to calm down the turmoil in his heart, Duke showed a satisfied smile: "Everything is guided by spirituality!" "
Boy, your smile now is very fake." Christian laughed and teased, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. Laugh, there are few proud moments in life, if you don’t laugh out loud now, you won’t have this opportunity in the future!”
Siskoli nodded in agreement.
Duke didn't care at all, but said calmly: "This is my first sage title, but it will never be my last sage title. Therefore, Mr. Christian, I believe I still have many opportunities. ."
"Oh!" Christian gave a thumbs up, "That's right, you should be arrogant when you are young. When I was your age, no one in Shenjiao City knew about my reputation as a blond lion! The crazier I am, little bitch The more you love me!"
Duke smiled politely.
You are not crazy. With the reputation of the Nutao family, people who love you are lining up.
After complimenting each other for a while, it was time for lunch. We exchanged glasses and had a full meal for an hour.
Duke resigned first.
He had to go back and pack his things. This trip to the Holy City of Arcane would probably take a month, so he had to be well prepared.
Packing up things, and then sending messages to familiar friends, I was so busy that when everything was packed, it was already dark.
"No need to send it off, teacher." Duke hugged the teacher.
Then he gave Kiriya a gentle hug in the farewell team and said, "Wait until I come back."
Then he boarded the Blue battleship with his vast entourage and set off for the Holy City of Offa, the capital of the Seven Towers Federation.
Click, click!
The light of the slide card flickered. The reporters stood in the distance and kept raising the slide cards in their hands until the Blue battleship disappeared from the sky.
Carrying the learned sage Duke to the coronation site.
