Chapter 250 Ground-breaking and Era-breaking Erudite
Tower, in the lounge on the fifty-seventh floor, Duke sat cross-legged on the futon. With blond hair, pointed ears, and pale face, there was no doubt that he was in the form of an elf.
Rich spiritual particles poured into Duke's body like a whale, and then entered the spiritual sea in the void of the body.
The vision resonates and brings huge blessings to the spiritual sea.
Once these spiritual particles enter, they are quickly pulled and filled into the wonder building on the second ring of the track - the Mind-Eyed Beast.
But more spiritual particles passed through the second ring orbit and the first ring orbit, and landed on the very tiny but infinitely huge spiritual core.
The inner layer of the spiritual core is complete, and the outer layer has also covered most of it.
Xiaoyi's work progress chart clearly shows that the current training progress of the second-level arcane scholar has reached 64.3%.
Although the time budget is still unquantifiable, the progress is rapid.
Now, it has been less than three years since he was promoted to the second level, but his training progress is already more than half, and there is no doubt that he will break the record again.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Duke fell from the elf form, and the chicken panted into the sea of air, while he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water.
"It's time to rest, tomorrow is the day to witness miracles!"
The next day.
The staff waited outside Duke's lounge early, and after Duke had finished his breakfast, they led him to the shuttle.
He flew straight to the Supreme Tower of Arcane.
This towering Aofa Tower exudes the majesty of the sacred and inviolable as usual, and the radiance of the spiritual Aofa shines on the entire Aofa Holy City.
In the Whale Song Mirror Lake in the distance, a big whale jumped out of the water and made a resentful whale song.
"Duke, you're here." The colorful jellyfish swam in front of Duke immediately after he entered the tower. "Next, I will lead you to the academic press hall." "Thank you, Shell Wise Man." "Offer for
you
. Mage service is the meaning of my existence." The Shell Wise Man circled Duke, "I'm also very curious about what interesting discoveries you brought. I like the phantom you invented very much. If I can, I really want to Let you help me shoot a documentary."
"Thank you for your love, but you are a documentary yourself, and the years are in your memory." Duke responded.
"Having said that, phantoms are really interesting. In addition to backing up a paper copy of the data in Offata, the data are all stored in phantom cards. When sorting out the vast data, I also After browsing through the past stories, I feel that there are too many worthy of being filmed into phantoms." "
You can compile a list of stories and give it to me. I have a film and television company in hand that can film them one after another. In addition, your own You can also write the story, and I will definitely find someone to film it."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Thank you so much, Duke." The wise man in the shell took Duke on the spiritual ladder, and in the blink of an eye Then we arrived on the floor where the academic press hall is located.
The wise man in the shell stopped at the spiritual staircase with a smile in his voice: "Go, Duke, write your own story. I believe it will be more exciting than the previous stories... And I am far away. Watching you and cheering for you."
He finished.
The colorful jellyfish body of the Shell Wise Man slowly dissipated.
Duke adjusted the collar of his clothes. Today he was wearing a very formal Offa robe. His young face looked mature against the Offa robe.
No staff to guide.
In the Tower of Offa, the Shell Wise can freely choose whether to receive a certain Arcane Mage. Once it receives it, no staff will come to receive it.
He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.
This watch is a decoration, and the time is displayed on the Dou Qi holographic screen at all times.
"Huh!"
Duke exhaled and communicated with Xiao Yi in his heart: "It's time for us to perform on stage. Prepare the speech." "
Master, please don't worry, your highlight moment will be next." Xiao Yi Art boasted.
Waited and waited.
At the appointed nine o'clock, Duke opened the door and entered the backstage of the Academic News Hall. Then he opened the curtain and walked into the news desk of the Academic News Hall.
欻欻!
Two bright lights hit Duke at the same time, making his whole body shine like a flash of light.
Click, click, click...
The reporters in the audience kept flashing their lights all the time, and the cameras never left Duke. This scene was no different from a celebrity press conference on Earth.
"Hello everyone, I'm Duke."
He waved to the audience and stood in front of the news station's microphone.
Soon, there was a burst of irregular and warm applause from the audience. In addition to reporters, there were also many arcane mages wearing arcane robes.
There are some Dukes who know each other, such as Chairman Selsus of the Supreme Council, Madron Rhodiola, the chief director of the Erudite Tower, Lambert Raven, the chief director of the Observation Tower, and Godiva of the Knights Monastery. ·Deputy Dean of Storm Greatsword...
"I am very happy that after three years of absence from the Holy City of Arcane, I have returned here with my latest academic achievements." "
Three years ago, I obtained the title of Erudite Sage , became the youngest sage in Natural History. In the past three years, I also achieved three consecutive achievements of the Light of the Learned Tower. But this time, in addition to bringing a new technology to Natural History, I really What we want to bring is a new exploration in the field of card making."
Everyone in the audience seemed to be whispering.
In fact, everyone believes that the academic achievements brought by Duke this time will be inventions in the field of natural history.
Unexpectedly this was not the case.
As if he understood what everyone in the audience was thinking, Duke said with a smile: "Actually, my original identity was a card maker, because before I was promoted to an arcane mage, I worked as a card repair apprentice in a card repair shop. I can His current achievements are inseparable from his spirit card."
He paused.
Then he pointed to the backstage door and said: "This time, my enlightenment mentor Penrose also came to the scene. I invited him to come because I hope he can witness my achievements in the field of card making, just as I promised myself from the beginning. , I will become an excellent card maker!"
After that.
He said to the backstage door: "Teacher Penrose, I'm waiting for you."
The door opened, and the somewhat bald Penrose walked up to the news desk while nervously carrying two large boxes.
Duke invited him to say a few words. Penrose immediately waved his hand quickly and stepped aside.
Everyone in the audience didn't know what Duke was up to, so they all looked at Duke and the big box Penrose brought carefully.
Duke opened the big box and skillfully took out a 1-ring slide card.
Then facing the audience, Penrose behind him continued to tinker with the big box, took out a projector, and placed it on the news desk.
"This is the most basic slide card, very cheap."
Duke's voice was unhurried and unhurried. Mere academic achievements would not attract people. Only stories can move people's hearts. He must connect technology with himself to maximize spiritual feedback.
"It is this slide card that has brought me everything I have today. Because of it, I invented strong light technology; because of it, I invented film and television technology; and because of it, I invented light storage technology. Today, it has become The best-selling spiritual card."
"But."
Duke changed the topic and returned to the academic topic: "One day my assistant told me that the price of slide cards has increased. The reason is very simple. Phantom films are very popular, and phantom cards are popular. The supply exceeds the demand. Therefore, the supply of slide cards and fantasy cards, one of the main materials, exceeds the demand." "
This makes me think hard, how can we mass-produce spiritual cards such as slide cards and fantasy cards?"
Turning his head.
He nodded to Penrose who was waiting aside. Penrose immediately turned on the projector, the screen lit up, and a large slide card appeared on the screen.
Duke shook the slide card in his hand, then pointed to the slide card on the big screen behind him, and said loudly: "From the very beginning, when my mentor Penrose taught me how to make cards, he told me about the spiritual distribution on the card materials. Uneven, making it impossible to produce cards on a large scale."
"Some large card-making companies hire card makers and use psychic resonance memory technology to produce multiple batches of spiritual cards at one time. Even arcane cards are produced one by one. Even the spiritual resonance technology cannot reproduce the card after drawing it." "
So, I was thinking, is it true that the spiritual card cannot be copied?"
Along with Duke's explanation, one after another began to play on the big screen Still picture, that is Duke in the laboratory, trying to make cards again and again.
There was a slight commotion in the audience, and many arcane mages seemed to realize something.
Penrose, who was standing behind Duke on the stage, was also stunned for a moment, and then looked at Duke's back in disbelief.
Duke was still explaining to himself, facing everyone in the audience, and said loudly: "It turns out that this is not the case!" He
turned his head slightly and looked at Penrose.
Penrose was in shock and did not come to his senses. He waited until Duke blinked at him several times before he remembered what he was going to do.
The two communicated in advance last night.
Penrose was responsible for cooperating.
At this time, he quickly pressed the button of the projector and switched to the next picture - this was the PPT designed by Duke. Without PPT, he always felt that he was not convincing enough and couldn't understand the picture.
On the big screen, an enlarged version of the spell model of the slide card appeared.
Duke then turned around, faced everyone in the audience, and explained with a smile again: "There is an affinity between the spell model and the card material, which is determined by the properties of psychic energy. But we have overlooked one thing, the complete spell model It's already dead. Only an incomplete spell model can exude affinity at all times."
With a finger, the screen on the big screen switched again, switching to a certain angle of the spell model. There was a gap in this angle.
"After my experiments, I found that by leaving a small opening at this position and stabilizing it with a psychic energy field, this incomplete ring can maintain the activity of the energy line, and then it will automatically open when compressed into the card material. Adjust the trajectory."
"Finally, add a little psychic energy to this gap, and a brand new slide card is completed!"
The picture on the big screen behind him returned to the picture of the slide card.
Duke's face was filled with a bright smile: "The ring of imprinting, I call this spirit card copying technology the ring of imprinting. The activated state of the ring is maintained through the spiritual energy field, and the ring is imprinted in the card material, allowing It adjusts its angle and trajectory by itself, this is the Ring of Branding!"
Boom!
The audience suddenly burst into exclamation.
There was even an arcane mage who exclaimed on the spot: "This...how is this possible!"
"Nothing is impossible!" Duke raised his voice to cover up the exclamations in the audience, "The Brand Ring is specially designed to replicate the ring. And birth, not only can the ring be imprinted on the card material, but it can also be imprinted on the array plate, contract, puppet core, etc.!" Everyone in the
audience could hardly sit still, reporters were recording frantically, and photographers were taking close-ups of Du. Gram's expression.
If this were not an academic news hall, the arcane mages would have rushed to the news desk immediately and asked him about the details of the Ring of Branding.
Faced with this commotion, Duke was very satisfied and his mentality became more calm: "This is my discovery in the field of card making, but it is not limited to the field of card making. To be precise, it is the spiritual arcana. A new pattern has been discovered by me."
Waiting for the commotion to subside a little.
He smiled again and said: "I know that many people may not be able to accept it for a while, or may still have doubts about the Brand Ring."
He waved to Penrose.
Penrose suppressed his excitement of witnessing a great technology and took out a special square instrument from the big box.
Duke took the instrument and put it on the table: "This is the Lingka Imprinting Instrument that I developed by the way. I think this should be regarded as another practical technical achievement of natural history. I have not forgotten that I am a Here comes the learned and sage."
He told a joke that was not very funny.
Everyone in the audience was attracted by the Ring of Branding, no one cheered, not a single laugh came.
"Xiaoyi, please pay attention to the audience's emotional feedback next time. This point is obviously not suitable for joking." Duke silently complained in his heart.
Xiaoyi also followed the good advice: "Good master, Xiaoyi will learn from this lesson and strive to make the master's next speech more perfect." The
spirit card imprinting device was turned on.
Duke took out a 1-ring slide card and a blank spiritual card, and stuffed both spiritual cards into the instrument.
While demonstrating, he explained: "Everyone, please pay attention. I only need to press the switch, and this blank spiritual card will automatically be copied into a slide card." The
instrument made a slight creaking sound.
Soon, the blank spirit card was spit out again, but it had become a 1-ring slide card.
The arcane instructors and arcane mages present have long locked their perception on the spirit card imprinting device. They copy the blank spirit card into a slide card and use their perception to monitor the whole process. There is no possibility of secretly changing it.
That is to say.
They actually witnessed Duke copying a slide card.
"Not only can civilian cards such as slide cards be copied, but arcane cards can also be copied by inserting a psychic box."
Duke continued to operate the instrument and quickly copied a fantasy card.
The theory has been stated and the results have been demonstrated. There is no doubt that the Ring of Branding is real and the Spirit Card can really be copied.
"This is too sudden." Chairman Selsus stroked his beard, "If spirit cards can be copied at will, and ordinary people can equip arcane cards, doesn't it mean that human strength will be qualitatively improved? "
It's just a 1-ring spirit card." An arcane instructor next to him frowned.
Selsus argued: "But if the Ring of Branding is established, the duplication of 2nd and 3rd Ring Spirit Cards will be possible sooner or later! Even special combinations of Spirit Cards such as 4th Ring Spirit Cards may be able to pass the Branding Ring, to copy it!"
Another arcane instructor shook his head and said in shock: "If this is really the case, then the future... is simply unimaginable!"
Human beings are trapped in cities because of the scarcity of high-end combat power. , market towns, it is impossible to reclaim large areas of habitat into the forest.
If everyone could equip arcane cards, what would the forest have to fear?
"Okay!"
Duke on the stage has already begun his final closing lines: "The branding ring and this spirit card branding device are the academic results I announced this time. Thank you everyone for participating in my academic press conference and exploring Let’s work together with you on the path of spiritual arcana!”
He bowed.
Duke and Penrose started to pack the big box, but they left the spirit card branding device and a bunch of spirit cards and blank spirit cards on the stage.
Then he returned to the background.
Some of the people in the hall couldn't wait to rush backstage, while others rushed to the news desk, ready to experience the spirit card branding device in person.
"Duke!" Selsus motioned to several reporters to stand back, and he and several Austrian instructors came to the backstage.
"Lord Thersus, several adults." Duke greeted.
"Think back to the time when the sage Ijik invented the spirit card. Then the spirit card quickly became popular and became the cornerstone of the development of the Seven Towers Federation." An arcane instructor praised, "Now that you have invented the ring of branding, the spirit card will become more popular. , your contribution is only second to that of the sage Ijik."
"My lord, you have given too much praise. How can I be compared with the sage Ijik and just follow him." Duke responded humbly.
The spirit card is truly an epoch-making invention.
Directly on the road of spiritual arcana, a new field was opened. Therefore, because of this invention, the sage Ijik was selected into the Temple of Heroes and will be worthy of it forever.
"Not only spirit cards, but also contracts, puppet cores, formation disks and other fields that require engraved rings, the branding ring has a place." Lambert Raven's expression was indifferent, but he spoke highly of the branding ring, " With this technology alone, I will recommend you to add a chief sage to Offata next year."
Duke's eyes suddenly lit up.
The chief sage of Offa Tower is a more noble status than the title of sage. There are quite a few sages in the Seven Towers Federation, but there are only a few who can become the chief sage of Offa Tower.
Because whether you can be promoted to the chief sage of the Tower of Offa, in addition to major academic achievements, you must also prove that you have enough ability to lead the Seven Towers Federation to go higher and further on the path of exploration of spiritual arcana. .
"I am extremely honored to be recognized by you, Lord Lambert, but I am afraid that my qualifications are too young to be qualified to be the chief sage."
Duke resigned humbly again.
In front of a group of arcane teachers who are giants in academics, status, and practice, there is no harm in being humble.
Celsus stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Lambert, then Duke has the votes of you and me." There are
currently twenty-seven chief sages in Offa Tower, all of whom are great figures at the level of Offa mentors. , even the Great Arcane Mage is rare.
If you really choose Duke.
I am afraid that Duke will be the only person in the history of the Seven Towers Federation to be selected as the chief scholar of the Offa Tower as an ordinary arcane mage.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't be selected. Duke can get two of the twenty-seven recommendation votes, which is already a huge recognition for him.
Several arcane instructors just came over to take a look at Duke, and then left after chatting for a few words.
Duke was left to be interviewed by reporters. The interview lasted until lunch time, and the reporters reluctantly let go of questioning Duke.
Wiping the sweat from his head, Duke felt like he was being hollowed out again.
"Xiaoyi, including the stories I heard, there is really not a drop left. If I am interviewed by reporters in the future, I am afraid I will have nothing to say." "
Master, you are still writing a new story."
"You can't write fast. I really can't write fast, and the speed of writing stories will definitely not keep up with the speed of reporters asking questions, especially since my scientific research achievements are one after another... no matter what achievements I invent in the future, I'm afraid I won't have any good stories to tell." Duke was a little disappointed
.
But soon he became more motivated again: "Edison failed ten thousand times before inventing the light bulb; Franklin flew a kite in the rain to catch lightning; Newton was hit on the head by an apple and discovered gravity; Nobel invented dynamite, but killed his brother; Kay Kuhler dreamed about ouroboros and discovered the benzene ring..."
He followed Penrose towards Offata's restaurant.
While communicating with Xiao Yi in his heart: "You can adapt the stories of these scientists for me to see if they can be integrated into my experience and become my deeds." "As you wish, Master." Xiao
Yi Yi responded cheerfully.
Find a booth in the restaurant.
Duke first said to Penrose: "You worked hard today."
"No, no, no, I didn't have any hard work." Penrose's mood had not recovered from the previous shock, "Being able to witness the Ring of Brand up close, to be honest, This should be the most proud thing in my life. I am more excited than getting the title of card maker."
He glanced at Duke with a complicated look and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that you have achieved so much in such a short period of time. , and created such a great achievement."
"It's not great, I just like to think more and come up with some good ideas." "
Technically, the Ring of Imprint may not be that deep, but just like the first picture The birth of the spirit card is nothing more than the combination of the ring and the card. To judge whether a technology is great is not to look at its depth, but to look at its value." Penrose said seriously: "In my opinion, the imprint ring
's The value is destined to become a bright pearl on the path of spiritual arcana."
After a pause, he added: "Lord Lambert and Sir Thelsus have both said that they would recommend you to be added as the chief of the Tower of Offa. Sage, I also think that with the Ring of Brand, you are qualified enough to join the highest palace of Offa Tower."
Duke heard this and laughed.
Then he said seriously: "I won't pay attention to whether the Ring of Brand can push me to the position of chief sage of Offa Tower. These are all external things." He
glanced at the scenery outside the window.
Duke continued: "In the coming time, I will continue to delve into the spiritual arcana. Compared with the floating clouds of fame and fortune, the spiritual arcana is the most fascinating treasure. Teacher Penrose, do you know that since I was still here? When I was lying down in the mud, I longed to stand on the highest peak in the world."
Smiled slightly.
Duke's tone became gentle, but the content was so firm: "Only in that way can I understand the whole world, and then I will not live in this world in vain." He
added this sentence silently in his heart - it is not a time-travel in vain. field.
Penrose suddenly sighed and said: "This may be the difference between geniuses and ordinary people. The pattern and vision are not on the same level." He also silently
added in his heart - I have been bragging about this to reporters all morning, and I am tired. Not tired.
afternoon.
The two returned to the Supreme Tower of Erudite and were given a grand welcome.
The chief director, Madron Rhodiola, who is always known for his indifference, rarely spoke in a gentle tone: "We will hold a banquet in the Erudite Tower in the evening. Congratulations on your new exploration results in the field of spiritual arcana. Take a good rest in the afternoon."
"Okay." Duke agreed happily.
But I didn’t get any rest in the afternoon.
He was dragged to a simple academic salon by Lambton, the director of the Erudite Tower. The participants were basically arcane mages in the field of natural history who had the title of scholar or even sage, such as Linton Treehopper, who had visited Shenjiao City before.
We spent the whole afternoon chatting about academics around the Brand Ring, which made Duke feel sleepy.
He would leave the details of academic research directly to Xiaoyi, so he was not very interested in them.
However, no one bothered him too much.
After all, to put it bluntly, the Ring of Imprint does not have any difficult-to-understand technology. Everyone focused on the Ring of Imprint and discussed many future developments.
Every time he discovers a possibility of the Ring of Imprint, he has to praise Duke: "What a great academic achievement!"
At the same time.
In the Aofa Tower, in the editorial department of "Seven Towers Daily", reporters and editors are revising and reviewing manuscripts in a hurry, and there is even a Great Ao Mage on the side to provide consultants.
finally.
The editors agreed that words such as "groundbreaking" and "epoch-making" should be added to tomorrow's title as modifications.
"There is no doubt that this technology deserves such praise. Duke Sage is about to change the world." Da'ao Mage Consultant affirmed, "In the conceivable future, the Ring of Brand will become a key player in the fields of spirit cards, puppets, contracts, formations and other fields. Basic technology."
His tone gradually became louder: "This is a new monument discovered by mankind on the path of exploring spiritual arcana!"
