Chapter 238: The Covetousness of the Armored Rat Family
"It's called Pheasant Feather, an ancient spirit from the Ocean of Insects era. You guys are really lucky. This ancient spirit is older than the dead-brained one from Tietou."
When Christian spoke, Not without some sourness.
The older an ancient spirit is, the broader its knowledge is. After all, it is a creature that has lived from distant times to the present day.
The tower spirit iron head of the Keyston Wizard Tower is the armored fish of the Sea of Fish.
There are two spiritual eras between the Sea of Fish and the Sea of Insects, namely, the Horn Beach and the Sea Beach. Life has developed from sea insects to sea fish. The time experienced during this period may be measured in "hundreds of millions of years." Calculated for units.
Even if only a little bit of the experience of these billions of years is sealed in the memory of the ancient spirit, it is enough to serve as an encyclopedia.
With the help of these ancient spirits, the arcane mages here have a clear understanding of biological evolution.
only.
Arcane mages do not believe that humans evolved from these primitive animals. The reason is very simple. The most recent type of ancient phantom is the bird sky where birds are entrenched. After that, no ancient phantom will erupt.
There is no record of how human beings were born.
Moreover, according to ancient legends, human beings rose from the island where knights originated and arrived in the wilderness continent by sea ship.
Therefore, humans should have never participated in the biological evolution of the wilderness continent.
"Duke, you carry this ancient trilobite spirit first, and then transform it into a tower spirit or war spirit when necessary. However, you must pay attention to one thing, the transformation is irreversible." Christiansen Fury Tao said seriously He said, "An ancient spirit that leaves the spring of spirituality is no longer an immortal existence."
"You mean, once the ancient spirit is transformed into a war spirit and the warship is destroyed, the war spirit will also perish?"
"Not necessarily. As long as you protect the core unit of the battleship at the critical moment, you can continue to build new battleships and revive the war spirit again. Only when the core unit is destroyed and the war spirit has nothing to rely on, will the war spirit die."
" I understand, sir, Pheasant Feather is staying in this crystal ball, how do I communicate with it?"
Duke held the crystal ball and could only watch the trilobites swimming in it, unable to establish Effective communication.
Christian shook his head and said: "It won't die for a while. Just wait and see when it will be transformed into a war spirit or a tower spirit. Then it will be able to communicate normally... I asked it some questions in the spring before. It's a pity that it doesn't want to say anything."
After a pause, he added: "After you transform it, I will come to you and ask it about the ancient evil object." "The
ancient evil object. ?" Duke raised his brows, "Sir, I do know something about the situation."
"What?"
"When I understood the three-ring tree king-Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower, I seemed to have seen an ancient evil thing, like a huge The maggots wanted to devour the spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley... In the end, countless spiritual beasts worked together to repel it, leaving behind a tattered shell." "
So that's it..." Christian looked at Duke and became more and more worried. I felt that this boy was loved by the spirit, "I didn't expect that even the tree king could reappear in time. I also understood the mysterious vine. Apart from getting the protective and mysterious vine, I didn't see anything." "This may be my opening
. I have lost the air sea, so I can resonate with the breath of the tree king, so that I can reproduce time through the natural power of the tree king." "Cherish
this ability, you can go further than us on the path of spiritual arcana."
"I understand."
Christian was not in a good mood. After giving Duke a few words, he waved his hand to indicate that Duke could leave. He needed to be alone for a while.
When Duke left, he put the crystal ball into the inner layer of Arcane's robe.
This was a secret deal, and no one knew about it except for a few great arcane mages, especially Bernoulli.
Otherwise, Bernoulli might have guessed that it was Duke who exposed the secret of the Ocean of Insects, thereby exposing the fact that the spiritual spring of the Green Sea Valley was a large spring. When the time comes, Bernoulli, who can't think of anything, may not take action against Duke.
After all, for a fourth-level arcane mage who is about to end his life, no one can guarantee when he will risk his life and go on the road with Laduc.
Before Duke could return to his camp tent.
I found that Bernoulli was already waiting for him on the way back to the camp. After seeing Duke, he smiled what he thought was a kind smile.
"Your Excellency Duke."
"Your Excellency Bernoulli."
"Don't mind if it takes you a few minutes." When Bernoulli spoke, his entourage had already set up tables, chairs and benches.
Duke sat down and said, "If you have anything to do, just tell me." "
Twin Springs, I would like to ask Duke to give up your love. For this, I, Master Bernoulli, am willing to pay enough to satisfy you." Nuli got straight to the point and stated his purpose directly, "I am old, and the only wish in my heart is the future of my family." The
twin springs are two small springs discovered next to each other while exploring the spiritual spring.
Duke frowned: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bernoulli, I also need the twin springs to build my Sage Mage Tower." "
But your future is not in the Black Dragon River, isn't it? Sooner or later you will go there The Holy City of Offa is where you can display your talents. So, why do you have to compete with me for a small spring in a small border city?" Bernoulli looked very optimistic
about Duke: "You As long as you are willing to part with me, I can pay you a satisfactory reward. For you, going to the Holy City of Offa is expensive, right? And you will always have the friendship of the Bernoulli family." "What you said makes sense
. ." Duke nodded with deep understanding.
Bernoulli smiled with satisfaction, feeling that his words had touched Duke's heart.
The next moment, Duke's tone changed: "But I still want to build my own sage-mage tower on the twin springs." "
You!" Bernoulli couldn't catch his breath.
"This is my home, and I will never forget it no matter what. My glory is the glory of all the villagers in Heijiao River. My sage and mage tower stands here. I believe it will shine on all the villagers. Cultivate more arcane mages for our hometown."
These words were said with great justice.
He will indeed go to the Holy City of Offa to develop at some point in time, but this does not mean that he will abandon his hometown.
It only took more than half a month for the battleship to go back and forth between Shenjiao City and Aofa Holy City. He could do research in Aofa Holy City for half the year, return to Heijiao River for half a year, and treat Cuihai City as his own. base camp operation.
Bernoulli wanted to turn Cuihai City into a base camp, so why not?
"Okay, okay, okay!" Bernoulli laughed angrily when he heard this, "Duke is an erudite and sage, and he is worthy of being the spiritual darling of Black Dragon River. You want fame and fortune, and you won't let go of the twin springs... All I can say is, I wish you success in getting the Twin Springs!"
"Thank you." Duke stood up calmly, "If there is nothing else, I will leave."
"Please do it." He
parted with Bernoulli on bad terms.
Duke did not take this matter to heart. The competition in the Twin Springs relied on their own methods, and the kindness and power of the 4th Ring Arcane Mage could not sway his decision.
Back at the camp, Mulali and Mulashan had prepared bath water for him.
Duke didn't like having someone wait on him when he was taking a bath, so he sent away his assistant and took off his clothes and got into the bathtub.
While taking a bath, he played with the crystal ball in his hand.
By the way, he called out the chick.
"Duke, what are you doing again!" Xiaochi was a little irritated. He was being called here and there by Duke day after day. If it wasn't for food and shelter, he would have fallen out with him long ago.
"Look." Duke raised the crystal ball in his hand.
The little chicken tilted the crystal ball, and his mouth was one step faster than his brain: "What the hell is this? It's just a broken ball."
The next moment.
It saw the trilobite sealed in the crystal ball, its tail twitched excitedly, and its eyes were already attached to the crystal ball.
He shouted: "Wow, Duke, Duke, this is my grandma, this is my grandma!"
The trilobite in the crystal ball also noticed the chick. Although it was sealed and unable to communicate, it did not hinder It quickly approached the crystal wall of the crystal ball and stared at the chicken with its big eyes and small eyes.
The difference is that the chick has a pair of single eyes and the trilobite has a pair of compound eyes.
"Of course I know it's your grandma."
"Let my grandma out quickly, I want to talk to my grandma!"
"Can't let it out."
"What?" Chicken stared, "Duke, you are not moral, are you? , why did you lock up my grandma and stuff it in such a small broken glass ball!" "
Because your grandma is an ancient spirit. It is a spirit body and cannot exist independently. And this is not a glass ball, but a crystal ball. The spring water of the spiritual spring is sealed inside." Duke held the crystal ball and said, "Once it breaks, your grandma will have to return to the spiritual spring."
After that.
A flash hit the chick's head: "It's so chilling to have such distrust in me." "
I don't!" Chicken retorted weakly.
Then he changed the subject and said: "But I really want grandma to come out. I haven't spoken to grandma for a long time." "It's not possible
now. First, I haven't built a mage tower. Second, I don't have a battleship. So your grandma will have to stay in the crystal ball for a while longer. But it’s almost over, so many years have passed, and now your grandma is by your side, so why not wait a few more days." "Okay."
Xiaoji
posted Holding the crystal ball, he shouted loudly: "Grandma, don't worry, I'll ask Duke to let you out right away!" The trilobite
swung its body in the crystal ball, as if in response.
I could see grandma, but couldn't hear her speak. The little chicken couldn't help but shed tears as she shouted, and the drops fell to the ground and turned into dots of glittering light.
Can empathize with the chick's emotions.
Duke also felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but communicate with Xiaoyi: "Do you think there is a better way to transform ancient spirits besides war spirits and tower spirits?" "There is too little information
about ancient spirits, Master. Xiaoyi can't answer."
"Oh."
Duke sighed.
The transformation ritual of the ancient spirit, Christian Raging Waves, has completely told him. Basically, it uses a batch of special materials to build a "body" for the ancient spirit, and then through alchemy, contracts, etc., the ancient spirit and the body can be transformed into each other. Fusion.
With the body storing the spirit body, the ancient spirit can move freely within the scope of the body.
"If I build a mechanical body for Pheasant Yu, Xiaoyi, do you think it can be successful?" Duke suddenly had a whim.
He thought of the six-legged spirit puppet jar he had picked up in the cabin in the forest.
According to the records in the notes of life scholar Bynes, if the human soul can be extracted, it can be stuffed into a container and watched forever.
However, Bynes died of old age as soon as human experiments began.
"What the master thinks has a certain basis in reality. Perhaps based on Bynes's experiment, human experiments can be conducted to expand sufficient data." Xiaoyi gave a suggestion, "Then combined with the ancient spirit transformation ritual, try to Yu provided the body."
"Human experiments... let's forget it." Duke shook his head.
If he were a 7th or 8th level arcane instructor with unrivaled strength, he might try human experimentation.
But now, trying human experiments is really seeking death.
"It is more practical to study film and television technology to pave the way for spiritual practice." Duke denied in his heart and also gave up the idea of building a mechanical body for Pheasant Yu.
Even if Pheasant Yu is a spiritual body and can easily be combined with a mechanical body, he does not intend to try.
The arcane mage seniors have already figured out a reliable way to transform war spirits and tower spirits, he just needs to continue it.
When you find new ancient spirits in the future, you might be able to try one or two.
"Chicken." Duke put away the crystal ball. "I have rescued your grandma. All I have to do is wait patiently." "
Duke!" Chicken suddenly shouted in a solemn tone.
"What?"
"Let's build a battleship!"
"Uh..." Duke was stunned for a moment, "Build a battleship, little guy, do you really dare to think about it? Do you know how much a battleship costs?"
"Isn't our family rich?" Xiaoji said confidently, "You are so good at making money, why don't you build a battleship? Don't be so stingy, okay? No matter what, no matter what, when I practice with you in the future, I will persist a little longer, no You cry out that you are tired so early!"
"Well, so every time you cry out that you are tired, you are just pretending?" Duke discovered a blind spot.
Chicken's face didn't change at all: "No, that's not the point, Duke. The point is that you are rich, Duke!" "
I have no money. I haven't paid back the money I owe the teacher."
"The teacher's money Why do you want to pay it back?"
"Why don't you pay it back?"
"Anyway, anyway, anyway, you have money, and I just want to build a battleship." The chicken started to act rogue.
"Come on, we don't build battleships, we build mage towers." Duke patted the chicken, "Duke Sage Mage Tower, isn't it cooler than battleships? When we go on a long trip, we can definitely use other people's battleships, such as Keyston Your Lord's Fury, right?"
"That's okay, then hurry up and build the mage tower!"
"Don't worry, it'll be quick."
...
Boom!
A wide route extends from Sheshou Town to Cuihai Valley, and a large number of road construction puppets are laying the foundation for the route.
Airships can be seen flying by in the sky at any time.
The urban construction of Cuihai City has begun in a mighty manner, and interested people from the entire Fengxi area are rushing here, hoping to follow the rise of this new city.
Located southwest of the Spiritual Spring, about 25 kilometers away, is the location of the Twin Springs, a low hill.
Several shuttles quickly flew to the top of this unknown hill.
Duke and his entourage stepped off the shuttle. There was a camp not far away. Captain Xina of the Broken Sword Mercenary Group quickly brought people to greet them.
"Sir!"
"Everywhere on the hilltop has been cleaned up?"
"We dug almost three feet into the ground. Now, not even a 0-ring spirit insect exists on this hilltop." Zina said respectfully.
In the past, when Duke was just a level 1 arcane mage, she could still maintain a certain personality in front of Duke.
Now that Duke was respected as a learned sage, Zina no longer dared to overstep the mark. When she saw Duke, she was extremely cautious.
This cautious approach did not make Duke feel respected, but instead gave him an awkward feeling of alienation.
But the status is completely different, and Zina's performance is understandable.
Duke could only let nature take its course, and asked as he walked: "Have you inspected the areas near the two springs, how do you feel?" "
Sir, this is the perfect place to build the mage tower." Zina said excitedly, "A moment The big spring is at the top of an unknown mountain, suitable for building a mage tower, and the smaller spring is at the foot of the mountain, no more than three kilometers away, suitable for building a castle's practice area." "It is indeed
a good place." Duke expressed satisfaction.
Christian Furious chose this place for him, obviously he saw the advantages of the twin springs early on, and it was enough to establish a family legacy that would last for thousands of years.
Duke has not yet married, but he will definitely have children in the future, so it is particularly important to have such a family property.
"Sir, this hill doesn't have a name yet, why don't you give it one." Mulali suggested.
"Okay, I'll give you one." Duke walked to the top of the mountain and looked around. This unknown hill was obviously the remnant of the boundary mountain range.
The boundary mountain range is the mountain range that separates Cuihai Valley and Sheshou Town. It extends from northeast to southwest and spans hundreds of kilometers.
In fact, the boundary mountain range is only a temporary name. Soon, Shenjiao City Union Tower will draft a new name for it. At that time, a five-tower meeting will definitely be held to uniformly name the geographical locations around Cuihai City.
"That's Mutant Forest No. 3 over there, right?" Duke pointed to the east.
"Yes, sir."
The nameless hilltop is adjacent to Mutated Forest No. 3, which is where the ancient maggot monster shed its shell. The evil spirit has not dissipated yet, and the forest is already filled with various animals and plants infected by the evil spirit. Evil plants and evil beasts are everywhere.
"It happened here when the ancient spirit beasts defeated the ancient evil things. So, this hilltop is called..." Duke thought about it in his mind.
Then he said: "It's called Lingya Mountain."
The spirit beast knocked off the shell of the evil thing, just in time to knock out half of the word "evil", leaving only "teeth". Lingya Mountain, this is a word that belongs exclusively to Duke game.
"Lingya Mountain?" Mulali looked at the hilltop at her feet, "It doesn't look like teeth either."
Duke reached out and patted the assistant's head: "Stop thinking about it. With your head, you can't even think about it after dark. Why don't you come out?"
"Then why?" Mulali asked unwillingly.
"For no reason, I just want to call it Lingya Mountain." Duke turned to look at Zina, "Your mercenary group will be stationed in Lingya Mountain for the time being. When I get the approval, I will build a mage here. Tower, it's up to you to protect the construction team."
"Yes, sir." Zina responded.
Although the Black Jade Scorpion clan, the strongest spiritual beast in Cuihai Valley, has been pulled out, the spirituality emanating from the spiritual spring still attracts a large number of spiritual beasts.
Danger occurs all the time.
Just as he was about to take a look around, Duke soon discovered that another group of shuttles came from a distance and flew directly to the top of the mountain.
Stopped in front of Duke and his party.
Soon a group of people got off the shuttle. The leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing arcane robes.
After seeing Duke, the middle-aged man immediately showed a warm smile and strode over: "Your Excellency Duke, it is an honor to meet you." "Who are you?" "Please allow me to introduce
myself
." The middle-aged man There is an aristocratic temperament about him, "My name is Drelli Armored Rat, a 3rd-level Arcane Mage. I am a 6th-level Sky Arcanist, chief director of the Elemental Tower of Runwu City, and the great-grandson of Viscount Armored Rat, Deckert Armored Rat." "
This long list of names is indeed deceiving.
Duke has been to Runwu City, so he naturally knows about Decter Armored Rat. Apart from Loren Sankagome, the 7th-level arcane instructor, Decter Armored Rat is basically the leader of the entire Wind Breath Domain. Second in command.
"It turns out to be Mr. Delelli." Duke returned the salute.
Then he asked: "What is the purpose of your visit to Lingya Mountain?"
Delali Armored Shu asked in surprise: "Does this nameless hill already have a name? Lingya Mountain is the name of the hill?"
" I just named it."
"Ah, it turns out it was a name randomly chosen by His Excellency Duke." Delelli said with a smile, "Then let's call it Lingya Mountain for now. I came here this time to inspect the place. Twin springs, I am going to build my mage tower here."
"Sir..." Mulali's eyes widened, she encountered a land grabber.
Duke raised his hand to stop what Mulali wanted to say, and looked at Delelli calmly: "You also fell in love with these twin springs?"
Delili seemed not to hear the underlying meaning of Duke's words.
He said with self-care and enthusiasm: "Yes, my brother is already a fourth-level earth arcane mage. He will inherit the Armored Rat family, so I will go out and start my own business. Cuihai City is newly built and has great development prospects. My great-grandfather also I hope I can make a career here."
"Heijiao River welcomes people with lofty ideals to come and develop. Sir Drelli, please feel free to inspect it." Duke responded with a few words.
Then she ordered Zina: "Stand stationed at Lingya Mountain. The only recent task is this."
Zina glanced at Delelli Armored Rat and others who were enjoying the scenery not far away, and then solemnly nodded: " Sir, please rest assured that Broken Sword will not ruin your reputation. I will guard Lingya Mountain for you and prevent others from disturbing you." "Don't make
things too complicated." Duke smiled softly, "Wait for me Just the news."
Soon, the group got on the shuttle and left Lingya Mountain.
On the way, Mulali said angrily: "Sir, that guy from the Rat Family is really annoying. He came to rob our Lingya Mountain!" "It's the
Armored Rat Family, Viscount Decker Armored Rat, he is a powerful An arcanist, he fought in the north and south, and made great contributions to the expansion of the Wind Breath Realm." "
Then we can't let his great-grandson come and steal our Lingya Mountain!"
"He can't take it away ! ." Duke turned to look at the scenery outside the car window. A large area of trees had been cut down in Cuihai Valley.
Only some 2nd ring spiritual plants are left.
It's not that the mercenary group is unwilling to poach the 2nd ring spiritual plants, but the transplantation of 2nd ring spiritual plants needs to be done with caution. Therefore, in the pioneering war, under normal circumstances, mercenary groups will not be allowed to collect 2 ring spiritual plants. Instead, they will be rewarded once they find one.
When the new city is built, these 2nd ring spiritual plants may be removed together, or simply incorporated into the new city's planning.
In the Shangxingcheng Community and Beverly Manor in Shenjiao City, there are some second-ring spiritual plants that grew naturally hundreds of years ago.
Never been moved.
"The Armored Rat family is very well-informed. Before the Twin Springs were announced to the public, Delelli came over to inspect... Haha, it was obviously the old guy Bernoulli who revealed the information to the Armored Rat family." Duke's heart was open. clear.
But that doesn't scare Duke.
He took the shuttle and rushed to the newly built flight station on the foundation of Cuihai City, and boarded the Shadow Chaser airship in Master Suktala Tower.
"Little Lili, send someone to the inn and tell your father that I will not go back to Black Snake Manor today, but will go directly back to Shenjiao City." "Okay,
sir."
The Shadow Chaser took off and rushed to the sky. Before dark, he returned to the Suktala Master Tower in Shenjiao City.
Without stopping, Duke took the shuttle again and rushed directly to the Castle of the Magician, where he had a dinner and met with the King of Raging Waves.
"Lord Christian, someone is coming to seize the Twin Springs. You have to make the decision for me!" Duke told the situation about Drelli Armored Mouse. "There is no doubt that Bernoulli saw that he could not fight for it. The Twin Springs have hooked up with the Armored Rat family."
"Hmph!" Christian slapped the table, furious, "This old guy is in the Black Dragon River, but his heart is always outside!"
He said solemnly: " You can go back with peace of mind. I promised you these twin springs. Unless Loren Sankago comes in person, no one can take them away!"
Duke nodded and left.
The news has been conveyed, and with a big shot standing in front of him, he can hide his merit and fame.
