Chapter 246 Phantom Explosion
Grandma Pheasant Yu has been transformed into the tower spirit of Duke Sage Mage Tower.
Relying on the extension of the main core of the mage tower, you can swim from Yajian Spring to Yagen Spring. When the subsequent construction of the castle is completed, all areas of Lingya Mountain will be the "body" of Grandma Zhiyu, and everything will be included in its monitoring.
And within the control range of Grandma Pheasant Feather, it can have absolute control of the mage tower.
Duke doesn't need to worry about whether Grandma Pheasant Feather will disobey him.
During the tower spirit transformation ceremony, the signing of the master-servant contract has been completed in the form of a contract. Whoever is the master of the mage tower, the tower spirit will obey.
In the field of spiritual arcana.
Basically no one can take advantage of the Arcane Mage's loopholes.
"Pheasant Yu, I'll leave it to you to take care of Lingya Mountain." Duke said goodbye to Grandma Pheasant Yu, and then left the spire attic.
In the restaurant that was renovated early on the third floor, Carter Flamingo has prepared a sumptuous lunch to entertain Duke and his party - Cuihai City has not yet been built, and there is no hotel where you can dine, so you can only entertain them casually on the construction site. .
James, the person in charge of Lingchi Farm, also came over from the farm at the foot of the mountain to enjoy lunch with Duke.
"Sir, the spiritual plant jade dew is ready. Mr. Carter and I have discussed that during the interior decoration of the mage tower, we will arrange a spiritual energy belt that spirals upward around the mage tower, and transplant the spiritual plant jade dew into the spiritual energy belt."
James introduced.
The free spiritual particles emitted by Yajian Spring and Yagen Spring are enough for most people's cultivation needs, but if you want to pursue a further spiritual environment, you have to use spiritual plants to sort it out.
It just so happened that Duke's own Lingchi Farm had a large amount of Lingzhu Yulu infected by Ji Yulu, the second-level elf's original Lingzhi. Although these jade dews are mainly 1st ring, the advantage is that they are numerous enough to sort out a strong spiritual aura.
"The idea of aura belts is good, yes." Duke nodded in agreement.
Carter said: "Your Excellency James said that there are too few 2-ring jade dew in Lingchi Farm, and it is difficult to buy enough 2-ring jade dew on the market, so the effect of the aura belt is not enough. More needs to be purchased from the outside world, which can be used indoors Planted spiritual plants."
"Buy." Duke waved his hand, "James, you are familiar with spiritual plants. You are responsible for purchasing spiritual plants and planting them in the mage tower." "
Yes, sir!" James responded happily.
Procurement has always been the most lucrative project. Duke has no moral obsession and does not mind his subordinates getting some profit within reasonable limits.
Once it goes too far, Duke will naturally take action.
As for whether his subordinates can be found to be making false accounts and making profit, this is simply a question for Duke. In front of Xiaoyi, there is no way to hide any account books - the market price of each item, each item Xiaoyi can detect the losses.
"Carter, you have to start building the spiritual plants on the mountain as soon as possible." Duke added, "When the mage tower is operational and there are more and more people, the castle must be built as soon as possible. I am very satisfied with this mage tower. , so the castle is still in your charge."
"Thank you, sir, for your trust!" Carter was overjoyed.
Then he solemnly promised: "Please rest assured that our Flamingo Construction Group has already completed the castle plan when designing the mage tower plan. We have not touched any of the native spiritual plants on the mountain, and will directly integrate them into it." In the castle!"
"That's good."
Although spiritual plants can be transplanted, Duke still likes native spiritual plants, which are wild spiritual plants that have never been transplanted.
The native spiritual plants always gave him a natural aura.
Although Lingya Mountain has been reclaimed, he still hopes to retain some of its original appearance. These native spiritual plants are the best preservation.
"My castle, I hope it is a green castle, Carter, I hope the castle can be hidden among the green plants. The castle is both a garden and the garden is a castle. Walking in the castle is like walking in nature."
" Understood, sir." Carter nodded.
Compared with other bizarre requests, requests like the Green Castle are simply not worth mentioning.
Throughout lunch, Duke described his ideas for the castle and Lingya Mountain.
Carter, on the other hand, listened carefully and took notes. He was so focused on his work that he no longer knew what the food in his mouth tasted like.
In the afternoon.
Accompanied by James, Duke went to the new location of Lingchi Farm, which is now listed as Lingchi Farm No. 2.
The original Lingchi Farm outside Suktala Master Tower became Lingchi Farm No. 1.
Both mage towers are already Duke's property, and there is absolutely no reason to give up one of them, so it is necessary to hold on to them with both hands.
At this time, the scale of Yulu in Lingchi No. 2 Farm was still small.
But the scale of Chuixuezhu has grown. A large number of Chuixuezhu have sprouted and grown tiny buds.
"Several growth areas of Fubuki Pillar in Mutated Forest No. 3 have been protected, and the mercenaries have divided these growth areas according to the background. Among the big shots who are interested in Fubuki Pillar, you, sir, have the highest status, so The Broken Sword mercenary group has monopolized the largest growth area."
"Really." Duke was surprised.
But he was soon relieved.
Although Mutated Forest No. 3 belongs to the public area of the Black River River, after all, everything in the Black River River is decided by the arcane mage.
Christian Raging Waves and the others are not interested in Fubuki Xuezhu. Among the Great Ao Mage sequence, Duke is the only one who is interested. Naturally, the Broken Sword Mercenary Group openly occupied the largest growth area by virtue of being Duke's personal hire.
No one gossips, this is the default rule of the Seven Towers Federation.
"So now when the Blowing Snow Pillar matures and gathers, Broken Sword can send a large amount of spore powder, and Lingchi Farm will no longer be short of seeds." James smiled.
Since choosing to be loyal to Duke, he has become Duke's vassal.
Although he has lost a certain degree of freedom, as Duke's status continues to rise, he is now a guest wherever he goes.
For example, during lunch, even an aristocratic arcane mage like Carter Flamingo had to discuss friendship with his peers.
This made him work more energetically.
"Don't be perfunctory in training Fubuki Hashira," Duke warned.
"Don't worry, sir."
"Go back, I'm going to take a walk in the No. 3 Mutated Forest." Duke sent James back and led his guard knights into the No. 3 Mutated Forest.
Completely different from the surrounding forests, the No. 3 mutant forest appears colorful and gaudy.
All kinds of strange and evil plants almost subvert Duke's understanding of the natural world - big trees with tentacles, flowers with big mouths, leaves with eyes, fruits with human faces, and Shrubs running around with legs...
This is simply a weird place, where the boundaries between animals and plants become blurred.
Compared with the evil plants that can be seen everywhere, there are far fewer evil beasts, but their appearance is also weirder. A muntjac made of woven rattan, a wild boar covered in flowers, an owl with slender leaves flying in flight, and more like rotting zombies.
"What the hell is a god?" Duke was riding on a spirit horse, his eyes sweeping over the surrounding scene solemnly.
The evil spirit that has been dead for hundreds of millions of years is just a shell that has fallen off. Even the main body of the shell has been destroyed by the great arcane mages. The remaining evil energy can still change everything.
Siskoli once said that sin is the opposite of spirituality.
The god of evil feeds on spirituality, and especially likes to devour spiritual springs. When it swallows a spiritual spring, it will leave scars on the earth.
In the Wind Breath Domain alone, there are dozens of scars on the earth.
It represents dozens of spiritual springs that were swallowed up by the gods in ancient times.
As for the No. 3 mutant forest in front of us, it is obviously not a scar on the earth, at most it can be regarded as a scar on the surface of the earth. Even arcane mages will be affected and distorted by Earth Scar; Earth Scar will also affect ordinary animals and plants.
"I can't understand it!" Duke sighed in his heart.
He even strengthened his belief: "So I must climb to the peak of the spiritual arcana, otherwise I will know nothing about this world!" ...
After
finishing the trip to Lingya Mountain, Duke stayed another night at Black Snake Manor, The next day we set off back to Suktara Master Tower.
It’s already April or May.
More than a dozen phantom opera houses in Shenjiao City are still playing "Romeo and Juliet" continuously. The citizens seem to not be able to get enough of it. Some people have even watched it more than a dozen times.
"The box office of this fantasy film alone has reached 100,000 gold dragons in our Heijiaohe land alone. This is too exaggerated, Duke." Kiliya leaned on Duke's arms and made a calculation in a low voice. According to the account, "Even if we have to split accounts and deduct costs, DreamWorks' box office revenue in Shenjiao City can reach 50,000 gold dragons." "
Romeo and Juliet" was screened in nearly 20 Phantom Opera Houses in Heijiaohe District. Many months.
A phantom ticket is priced at 2 silver dragons.
A Phantom Opera House has four or five auditoriums, each with a capacity of 100 people, and can show about eight performances a day.
Only when every venue is sold out can we achieve our current results.
"We can earn 50,000 gold dragons in the Black Dragon River alone. According to the current momentum, it will not be difficult to earn another 30,000 gold dragons in the future. The expected income of the entire wind breath field is no less than 400,000 gold dragons. Expanding to the entire Seven Towers Federation, Even 4 million gold dragons is possible!"
Kiriya became more and more excited as she calculated. Even though she was born in a noble family and grew up surrounded by money, she was still crazy about it.
He put his arms around Duke's neck and kissed him like crazy: "You're great, Duke!"
After waiting for the frantic kissing to subside, Duke licked his lips and then said: "Your calculations are too idealistic. It is not easy to get the branch box office in other areas. It is even difficult to get the branch box office in other cities in this field." "
I know this." Kiriya has regained her senses and said softly, "Take as much as you can, no matter what, The income from 500,000 gold dragons should be guaranteed... Many big shots are watching this fantasy film, and the food in other areas and cities should be restrained." "500,000 gold dragons, about the same."
Du Ke nodded.
Unlike royalties, this kind of phantom film release is a new business model. Before the rules are set, it is difficult to protect the income.
Even the excuse is easy to find - they have already bought the Phantom card and paid the copyright fee. How many people will watch it next, how much money will be made, and what does it have to do with DreamWorks?
"I will write to the Erudite Tower and suggest to them to formulate a detailed box office splitting model and establish content copyright for Phantom Film. However, whether the Erudite Tower will promote this model is not something I can decide."
" Your box office accounting model has coordinated and balanced the interests of the producers, distributors and theaters, and the learned arcane mages from the Supreme Tower will definitely pass it." Kylia had an admiring look in her eyes, and she was more confident than Du A gram is enough.
To put it bluntly, she is just a 23-year-old young girl.
After being promoted to arcane mage at the age of eighteen, for five years, I was constantly impacted by Duke's influence.
Worship is also a must.
"It doesn't matter how the erudite Supreme Tower makes decisions." Duke pinched Kylia's slightly baby-fat cheeks and felt very good. "After the 500,000 gold dragons arrive this time, we can make up for the funds that DreamWorks burned in the early stage. Part of it, finally no more financing is needed."
"Yes."
"Then, my cute little rich lady, should you treat
me to a treat?" "DreamWorks also owns a part of Duke, although it is only a proxy." Kiriya smiled Said, "I am a little rich woman, but you are already a rich man."
DreamWorks made a lot of money, but the Giant of Light, which produces phantom cartridges and projection equipment, also made a lot of money.
It is difficult for DreamWorks to recover the box office from other fields in terms of box office distribution.
Giant of Light has patent protection and master disk restrictions, and all Phantom cards are produced here. As for the equipment patents, they are all in the hands of Duke. Even if they are far away from home, the patent fees that should be paid are indispensable.
"It is said that it is held on behalf of others, but..." Duke hooked Kiriya's chin, "I have decided to transfer this part of DreamWorks shares to our future children." Kiriya's eyes flashed with excitement
. Layer of water mist: "Do you want him to be born now?"
"Why not."
Duke teased him.
But Kiliya pushed him away with force, with a charming smile on her face: "Then you must get my parents' consent first."
Then she ran away with a smile and left Duke's office.
With his hands still warm and body fragrance still lingering on the tip of his nose, Duke felt disappointed for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "Sure enough, women who can be promoted to arcane mage are not ordinary little girls... In terms of willpower, they cannot be compared." However
.
He had no intention of going to find Kiliya's parents, and let everything take its course.
"Xiao Yi, sort out today's experimental procedures." Duke tidied up his somewhat messy clothes and started today's formal work.
"Good master, you need to host the 'Ring Copying Materials-General Spiritual Material Effect Collection' experiment this morning to obtain the effects of general materials currently on the market and add them to the ring copying system to expand the ring copying material database." Xiao
Yi Kindly remind you.
In the field of alchemy, Duke has basically finished learning the knowledge he needs to learn, and now he is starting to start basic research.
First, fully master the properties of various general spiritual materials, expand Xiaoyi's database, and lay the foundation for truly creating ring replication materials in the future - after all, Xiaoyi's calculations require solid data support. The more data, the more data. The higher the probability of success.
Busy and busy, the day passes.
In the evening, Duke took his assistants and knights for a walk after dinner, and then returned to Tower 2 to rest.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, turn on the elf form.
Rich free spiritual particles surged into his body like a huge whirlpool.
In the spiritual sea, eleven kinds of visions and three kinds of mysteries are all experiencing endless illusions and disillusionment, producing strange resonances and rhythms.
This is the resonance of visions, which greatly improves the efficiency of meditation in absorbing spiritual particles. It is a cultivation method that only second-level arcane mages can master.
Without vision resonance, the speed of miracle construction will also slow down.
Look within the spiritual sea.
Duke's mind instantly crossed the boundless distance of the spiritual sea and drove to the center of the spiritual sea. The arcane wonders and arcane hands on the first orbit were running smoothly. The elemental shield and the second-ring sand eagle are also running smoothly on the second ring orbit, and the mind-eyed beast is under construction.
Farther away, Jiuhuan Xiaoyi was running leisurely.
However, Duke's gaze went directly across several layers of orbits and towards the central spiritual core. When he was promoted to the second level, the spiritual core had already formed a spherical structure with twists and turns of energy lines. At this time, a new layer of structure protruded from the surface of the sphere's spiritual core.
The spherical structure is still maintained, but the surface is larger, with more twists and turns, and the spiritual arcana cognition it accommodates is also larger.
He glanced at the work schedule not far away.
The first process has always been an exclusive meditation method, in which the cultivation progress has reached 23.4%, and it has only been two years since he was promoted to the second level arcane mage.
Most level 2 arcane mages can only build an arcane wonder in two years.
If you want to advance from the 2nd ring to the 3rd ring, it will take at least thirty years. In addition, it generally takes more than ten years to advance from level 1 to level 2; the age to be promoted to an arcane mage is generally over twenty years old. Therefore, most level 3 arcane mages are at least over sixty years old.
Now, Duke's training progress is extremely fast.
"It's so wonderful. My thinking is sublimating every moment. I can often understand more about spiritual arcana by just looking at the front." Duke couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "This is spiritual feedback. The entire Seven Towers Federation All the people are helping me practice!"
A "Romeo and Juliet" directly promotes film and television technology to thousands of households. People who feel the charm of film and television technology only need to admire it in their hearts.
So.
The complex mapping of spirituality will bring spiritual feedback to Duke and assist him in his rapid cultivation.
Nowadays, spiritual arcane magic is rapidly sinking to the bottom, and the natural history promoted by the Erudite Tower plays a vital role. The rapid development of the Erudite Tower is naturally related to the arcane mages gradually figuring out the operating principle of spiritual feedback.
In the past, ordinary people were only treated as servants, or even slaves, by arcane mages who trained their offspring and provided resources.
Today's ordinary people can assist arcanists in their practice.
Therefore, the aristocratic system was gradually abolished, the lower class society was vigorously developed, and the spiritual arcane laws were downwardly compatible to obtain more spiritual feedback.
I don’t know how many arcane mages have benefited from this.
The wonderful feeling was intoxicating, and Duke continued to practice like this, until the chicken was so tired that he panted, and then he ended the night's practice.
"The spiritual feedback is fierce, and this is just the beginning of film and television technology!"
Duke clenched his fists, looking forward to the coming era of film and television entertainment. It can be said that this era was completely born for him.
And indeed it is.
June has just arrived, and "Romeo and Juliet" has already failed in Shenjiao City, so DreamWorks released its second fantasy film.
Although "Romeo and Juliet" is still in theaters in other cities, film and television companies of all sizes have sprung up and been established, placing orders with the giant of light for professional cameras, phantom cartridges and projection equipment.
Phantom Opera Houses were opened one after another, and everyone was attracted by the money generated by the explosion of Phantom films and invested in them swarmly.
Coupled with the promotion of the Erudite Supreme Tower, the entire Seven Towers Federation is advocating for fantasy films.
"Romeo and Juliet" is destined to be recorded in the history of the Seven Towers Federation, and Duke is even praised as a great literary giant.
the reason is simple.
"Romeo and Juliet" has been adapted into a novel by DreamWorks contracted playwrights and literary giants, and published under the name of Duke.
Compared with the phantom film that can only be seen by entering the Phantom Opera House, once the novel was released, it was quickly obtained by publishing houses in various fields, and then quickly published in their respective territories, and was snapped up by the public.
If you can't see the phantom video of being blown up, then read the book first.
As a result, Duke has become a great literary giant of the generation - there is no conflict between arcanists and great writers. Many arcanists have made outstanding achievements in the field of art, such as playwrights, musicians, poets, painters, dancers, and so on. Lift.
"'The Girls of Thalia' is far less popular than 'Romeo and Juliet' when it was released, and the reviews are not as good as 'Romeo and Juliet'." In the Erudite Tower, Erwin drank tea and chatted with Duke
.
Duke smiled and said: "'Romeo and Juliet' consumed most of the public's enthusiasm. It is normal for 'Thalia's Girls' to be cold. After all, the price of two silver dragons will scare away many people. Especially It’s a small border city like ours.”
In Duke’s view, the purchasing power of a silver dragon is equivalent to about one hundred yuan on earth.
At that time when he traveled back in time, the economy was highly developed, and ticket prices of dozens of yuan were criticized by some as expensive. What's more, Shenjiao City is still in a backward social environment.
People really have no money.
When he first crossed over, he worked as an apprentice and only received a salary of five silver dragons a month. A regular worker only earned fifteen to twenty silver dragons a month.
"The work is still not good enough. "Thalia's Girls" is a fantasy film adapted from a stage play. The screenwriting skills are not good. Compared to you, it is indeed far behind." Erwin said with a smile, "You are far and near. A famous literary giant."
"It's just flattery from outsiders who don't know the truth."
"It's not flattery." Erwin said seriously, "You do have a strong talent in literature. You can see this by looking at your papers. , I can say this, among the more than 300 arcane mages in Shenjiao City, no one’s paper is more artistic than yours.” The paper
refers to academic value, but the artistry of the article itself is also a consideration.
Duke smiled.
Xiaoyi has read through tens of thousands of high-quality papers and refined a perfect and reliable paper writing method.
"The Phantom Industrial Base is booming now, and Shenjiao City's status as an entertainment capital has begun to show signs of development." Erwin continued, "I don't know how many out-of-towners have come to visit DreamWorks recently, looking for Romeo and Juliet."
The entertainment industry already has it, so the behavior of chasing stars will naturally rise.
"Isn't this great? It would be even better if we could keep these tourists in Shenjiao City." Duke nodded.
"Yes, there are two cities in Heijiao River, and there is an urgent population shortage." "
I think the Union Tower should guide these tourists, guide them to Cuihai City, and let them know the welfare benefits of Cuihai City. Regardless. Whether the tourists stay on their own, or whether the tourists go home and promote it to their relatives and friends, it will be of great benefit." "
You are right, I will suggest it to Mr. Kisson... By the way, the film and television base you mentioned, we Let’s talk in detail.”
Now Erwin only cares about how to make Shenjiao City a city of entertainment.
Duke followed Erwin's thoughts and briefly described the idea of a film and television base, imitating typical buildings in major cities, attracting major film and television production teams, standardizing the extras industry, and sound equipment rental businesses...
" Fantasy movies have begun to explode, and the real entertainment era is about to come. Your Excellency, Erwin, whether Shenjiao City can become an entertainment capital depends on you." "I have a duty!"
Erwin
said sonorously and powerfully, and his actions were also flawless. Not inferior, his children and grandchildren have already opened more than a dozen related film and television companies.
The photography technology also received technical guidance from DreamWorks and successfully completed a fantasy film independently in July.
Similar film and television companies, similar Phantom Film.
With Shenjiao City as the center, following the trend of "Romeo and Juliet", it was quickly released to the public. One after another, good and bad movies, greatly enriched people's spare time life and made movie watching gradually become a habit.
As for the audience attracted by these phantoms, many people spontaneously came to Shenjiao City to chase stars, which also brought many benefits to Shenjiao City's economy and population.
certainly.
The biggest beneficiary is Duke.
The surging spiritual feedback made him feel like he had divine help during his cultivation, and the progress of the second level of his spiritual core skyrocketed. Countless difficulties related to spiritual arcana are solved in this spiritual feedback, and the knowledge is constantly improved.
"Explode, Phantom!"
"Continue to explode, more violent explosions!" Duke looked at the latest issue of "Spiritual Arcana Monthly", scanning the lines.
But for the papers in the journal, every bit of it is already clear.
