Chapter 271 Mysterious Aura
The Duke Sage Mage Tower was as lively as the New Year, with waves of arcane mages coming to congratulate them.
Some arcane mages left gifts and names and left, while some arcane mages stayed here to enjoy a banquet.
There aren't many who really need to be entertained by Duke himself.
On the third day, a guest came who needed to be entertained by him, a female arcane mage, Ronis Sankagome.
Just because of the other party's noble surname, Duke needs to entertain him personally.
"Duke Sage, congratulations on being promoted to the 3rd level arcane mage in a record-breaking way." Lonis looked about thirty years old, but her hair was already graying, and she was obviously almost a hundred years old. "On behalf of my grandfather, Loren ·Sankagome congratulates you."
The gift she brought was a batch of Sankagome potions.
The specialty of the Sankagome family is the Sankagome potion. This potion can help the spirit beast partners of the Knight Contract break through their shackles.
Usually the level of the contracted spirit beast will be dragged down by the knight and stop at level 1.
But with Sankago's potion, the spirit beast with high-level bloodline can continue to break through and reach the level it should have reached.
If a 1st-level knight has a 3rd-level contracted spirit beast, his combat power will definitely increase dramatically.
Therefore, Sankago medicine is of great value and is often only circulated at auctions, and can rarely be purchased directly with money.
Duke happily accepted the batch of Sankagome potions and responded enthusiastically: "Thank you Loren Sankagome-sama for the gift. I didn't expect that even the guardian envoy was alarmed by the small matter of me being promoted to the third level." Lonis
Shan Kagome smiled and said: "My grandfather is full of praise for you and thinks that you are the next generation leader in the field of wind and breath. You will definitely become a member of the stars in your lifetime." "
Sir Loren praised me too much." Duke Qian said a word and then said in memory, "He is the pillar of the Wind Breath Realm. I still remember Lord Loren's demeanor when he annihilated the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon in the Cuihai Valley more than a year ago." That was also him
. The first time I saw the stars take action, the star cage locked the battlefield, the pale hands covered the sky, and then the black jade horseshoe dragon died.
There is no ability to struggle at all. Among the same large class, the arcane mage is invincible.
Hearing Duke praise her grandfather, Lonis smiled brightly: "My grandfather takes less action now. When I was a child, my grandfather participated in the pioneering wars almost every year. The aura of the sub-dragon on his body can make people of level 6 and below The spiritual beast cannot move."
After praising Loren Sankagome, Lonis revealed her intention: "The Sankagome family is very optimistic about the development of the Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company. I wonder if Sage Duke will allow the sale of shares. , my family has a plan to purchase shares."
"Buy shares in the Giant of Light?" Duke raised his eyebrows slightly, and then responded, "I don't hold many shares myself, and I don't prohibit shareholders from trading privately."
Duke Currently holds 25% of the shares of Giant of Light.
In addition, he also holds 1% of the shares of Xibidi Ling Mining Company, but he has planned to find an opportunity to sell this part of the shares.
Although Xibi Di Spirit Mining Company makes money, mining spiritual crystals is no different from printing money, but after all, it is limited to this corner of the Black Dragon River, and its future development prospects are not great.
After selling the shares, he will have two vacancies and can open two new companies.
One had decided long ago to open a communications company, while the other had reserved it until new inventions were discovered.
As for the DreamWorks Film and Television Company founded by Kylia, Duke did not invest in it. He only relied on film and television-related technologies and optical storage-related technologies to collect patent fees. With the development of technology, the market has boomed, and patent fees have been collected. Soft-handed.
"As long as you don't refuse." Seeing that Duke didn't object, Lonis said immediately, "I will let the family buy the shares of the Giant of Light in the market." "How can the
Sankagome family treat the Giant of Light? Are you interested?"
"Actually, that's what my grandfather meant... Our family has planned to withdraw from the United Card Store. The development of the Ring of Brand technology has doomed the decline of the United Card Store. And the Giant of Light has the technology of the Ring of Brand and the Spirit The patent for the card branding device must have great prospects."
"Sir Loren has a very accurate vision." Duke praised.
Then he made some insinuations about Lonis, and roughly understood Loren Sankagome's attitude. It was obvious that the other party was dissatisfied with the aristocratic power of Runmon City.
Among the stars, some may be conservative and some may be progressive.
But driven by the spiritual arcana, everyone has the same goal, which is to continuously climb to the top.
This is also the reason why the Seven Towers Federation can develop into the largest country.
Loren Sankagome hopes that spiritual cards can be opened to the entire society, but the old nobles of Runmon City still hold on to the idea of monopolizing the card-making industry. Apparently, they have already had problems with Loren Sankagome. Irreconcilable contradictions.
Therefore, it makes sense to shift the target and choose to cooperate with Duke.
Set cooperation goals.
Then the remaining details can be discussed by the teams behind them. Duke entertained Ronis Sankago for a meal and no longer focused on the other party.
Teacher Suktara will help him receive Ronis.
"Little Lili, what else do I have to do today?" Duke was lying on the sofa chair, enjoying the massage from the two assistants.
In fact, Xiaoyi had already arranged his schedule properly.
It's just that Duke is not willing to treat himself like a robot and strictly follow Xiaoyi's arrangements. He can do whatever he wants without being so rigid.
Besides, I also find some work for the assistants.
"Sir, you were scheduled to meet with Mr. Block and Ibuprofen at 3 o'clock this afternoon to discuss their research directions." "
Well, what time is it now?"
"It's three-fifty."
"What's next?"
"Mimi's fantasy beast promotion experiment." Mulali opened the notebook she carried with her and reported, "If the three magic dragon potions are not used, they will expire. In addition, the other items you auctioned Three magic dragon potions have been bought."
Duke had previously purchased six copies of the blood of the dragon and found a pharmacy scholar to make six magic dragon potions.
Three for Xiao Kabuto, and three for Vivian's contracted spirit beast Mimi.
However, Kabuto had already relied on the Blood Spirit Crystal to advance to the level of a fantasy beast, so there was no need for the fantasy dragon potion. Duke simply had it auctioned and while the potion was still in effect, he could help a certain level 1 knight to break through. Become a fantasy beast knight.
"Well, that's it." Duke thought for a moment and then ordered, "Let Bullock and Ibuprofen also participate in the experiment of phantom beast promotion. I will help Mimi get promoted while chatting with them." "Okay
, Sir, I'll inform you right away."
After a while, Duke entered the prepared laboratory. In the laboratory, Vivian and Mimi had been waiting for a long time.
Mimi is of the bloodline of the 2nd ring spirit beast - the black spotted serval cat.
Now the first ring is about to be completed, but due to Vivian's restrictions, it has been stuck here and cannot be broken through unless taking a Sankago potion.
"Sir." Vivian stood up and saluted.
"Don't worry, Mimi will be promoted to a fantasy beast." Duke took Vivian's hand and patted it, "Even if the promotion fails, I will provide it with Sankagome potion to help it advance to the second level." It's a pity
. The Blood Spirit Crystal has been eaten by Kabuto, and there is no way to bring it back. Otherwise, you can just use the Blood Spirit Crystal to help Mimi evolve.
Vivian nodded quietly, with tenderness and sweetness flashing in her eyes.
"Meow." Mimi seemed to know that today was its important day, calling softly, looking a little embarrassed.
At this time, Mulali came over with brothers Brock and Ibuprofen.
"Teacher." The brother and sister greeted respectfully.
Duke looked at the thin brother and sister and said, "I'm sorry that I originally planned to meet you at 3 o'clock, but I was late to receive an important guest. That's why I called you here now, which delayed a lot of your time."
Brock was a little dull.
Ibuprofen was more active than my brother: "Teacher, you are busy with everything, and there are too many important things to do. It doesn't matter if we wait. Besides, my brother and I were practicing just now, so we didn't delay anything."
"It's good to be ready to practice anytime and anywhere. I have been promoted to arcane mage, but I have just stepped into the field of spiritual arcana. I still need to work harder in the future." Duke encouraged him and then ordered, "Let's start the experiment. ."
The fantasy beast promotion experiment is not a rigorous experiment.
Duke directly condensed the arcane hand, turned it into thousands of threads, and then pierced Mimi's body, and then let Mimi take the magic dragon potion.
Brother and sister Brock and Ibuprofen were responsible for helping out, handing over bottles of medicine and the like.
Vivian sat cross-legged on the side, practicing the blood refining method to help Mimi refine the power of the magic dragon potion. Part of the arcane hand also penetrated her body to detect changes in fighting energy in her meridians and limbs. Data collection.
After taking the magic dragon potion, and stimulated by the blood refining method, Mimi's body seemed to be injected with a huge force.
Let the blood mist fill the surface of its body in an instant.
Weiwei felt relieved that she was involved and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Mimi.
Duke immediately comforted him: "There's no need to be nervous. I'm monitoring Mimi's physical condition at all times and won't let anything happen to her. You do your job." "Yes,
sir." Vivian took a deep breath and calmed down her heart. restlessness.
Duke paid attention to Mimi's situation and asked Xiaoyi to record the specific data in detail while chatting distractedly.
"Brock."
"Mentor, I'm here."
"Relax, let's have a simple chat." Duke put his hands behind his back and said casually, "Whatever field you like, you use energy fusion to solidify the spiritual core, and the elemental field will not I’ve said it. Card making, contracts, alchemy, formations, puppets, potions, life, beast taming, Gu control, spiritual plants, astrology, and natural history, what do you like most?” “Natural science, mentor, I want to express my gratitude to you
. You study natural history," Bullock replied.
"Natural history is very complex. To learn it, you have to learn knowledge in all fields and transform them into the technologies needed by society." "
I'm not afraid of difficulties!" Bullock said firmly.
"But I want to hear what is your favorite field, not the field you most want to study." Duke turned to look at Bullock.
He could feel that Bullock wanted to learn natural history, not because he liked it.
Just like when children from poor families enter college, they may not choose the major they like, but consider which major will make money in the future and shoulder the burden of the family.
"I..." Brock hesitated.
Ibuprofen immediately reminded: "Brother, in front of the mentor, you should say whatever you think."
After being reminded by his sister, Bullock confided: "Mentor, actually I like the puppet field best. I have envied it since I was a child. Those construction engineers who drive puppets."
"Oh, then why not choose Karius Mage Tower? Lord Karius Flamingo is a puppet scholar." "
My sister likes natural history, I think. Come with her, and Mr. Oruch also suggested that I come to your mage tower with my sister for further study." After Bullock finished speaking, he stammered and added, "Actually, I also like natural history." Duke said
to Without commenting, he glanced at Mimi, who was still receiving the power of the magic dragon potion, and turned around and asked Ibuprofen: "What about you?"
"I like natural history the most, mentor." Ibuprofen spoke much more generously, "My brother and I live in Snow Valley Town. After I was promoted to spiritual apprentice, I worked in a spiritual weapon repair shop. I loved dismantling the used spiritual weapons in the shop..." Ibuprofen talked endlessly about the spiritual weapons
.
This reminded Duke of his childhood, when he was on Earth, he also liked to play with various electrical appliances at home, and once even took apart a DVD.
Then it was installed again and the restoration was quite high, but the power was off.
Fortunately, his parents didn't know that he had torn the DVD apart. They thought it was broken and sold it as scrap.
"Very good, I already understand your preferences." Duke said in conclusion, "On the path of spiritual arcana, interest may not bring you a better way of practice, but it will undoubtedly make you enjoy the boring life. It adds a lot of fun to the exploration."
He said to the two brothers and sisters: "No matter what field you are in, the most important thing during your training at Duke Sage Mage Tower is to lay a good foundation... In addition, I will not restrict your freedom here. Basic courses After completion, you are also welcome to attend lectures in other mage towers."
Duke doesn't like to engage in academic circles, he prefers a free research atmosphere.
Sage Duke's Mage Tower will also be built into an open Mage Tower in accordance with his ideas, for all arcane mages to come and communicate and learn.
While talking.
The snow mist on Mimi's body has dissipated a lot, and the power of the phantom dragon potion in her body has begun to decline, but it has not been able to push it to evolve into a phantom beast.
"One is not enough, go ahead and take the second one." Duke gestured to the ibuprofen and handed Mimi the second Magic Dragon potion.
Mimi's body had been torn apart by many hidden wounds from the previous surging power, but in order to evolve, it still supported its body and drank up the second magic dragon potion.
A new force began to spread, and its body was once again covered in blood mist.
No one spoke anymore.
Duke looked at Mimi intently, sensing the changes in Mimi's body through his arcane hand, and gradually gained a sense of enlightenment in his heart.
"The power of the Magic Dragon Potion was not absorbed by Mimi, but turned into a special spiritual power, trying to awaken some... some kind of gene in Mimi. No, it has nothing to do with genes. It should be some kind of deep... Hidden bloodline in the body!"
In Duke's perception, the huge energy in the Magic Dragon Potion is not the real core potency, but the core potency is a trace of sub-dragon blood in it.
The Yalong bloodline, accompanied by surging power, surged through Mimi's body.
But it cannot be integrated into it, or in other words, the magic dragon potion is not made to allow the spirit beast to integrate the sub-dragon blood.
"It's a lead. The entire Magic Dragon Potion is a lead, responsible for bringing out some kind of primitive bloodline in Mimi's body!"
Duke's heart moved, and he said to Vivian in a deep voice: "The blood refining method is not strong enough, you need to surge your fighting spirit, so that Mimi's spiritual power can echo your fighting spirit even more strongly!" Vivian did not answer
.
But the fighting spirit throughout her body has been aroused, and a faint light of fighting spirit blooms on her body, making her look like a Valkyrie.
"It's still not enough!" Duke frowned.
After waiting for Xiaoyi to calculate the probability of success, he quickly made a decision: "Take the third magic dragon potion for Mimi!" "
Yes, mentor." Ibuprofen was not only not nervous, but in high spirits, and quickly helped Mimi take it. The third magic dragon potion.
Then he looked at Duke and then at Mimi.
His face was red with excitement, not for the experiment itself, but for being able to do the experiment with Duke.
It is the dream of many arcane mages to be able to conduct experiments with card-making sages and learned sages.
boom!
The Yalong bloodline in Mimi's body, with the blessing of surging power, seemed to be erupting like magma, tearing Mimi's body with injuries everywhere, and the blood on her body spattered out round after round, forming a thick blood mist. Wrap it completely.
"Vivian, work harder!" Duke continued to order.
The Hand of Arcane Weapon no longer only stays in the perception stage, he has begun to use the Hand of Arcane Weapon to interfere with the entire evolutionary process, helping Mimi maintain body functions and prevent being destroyed by surging power.
The scene seemed tense.
But everything is under Duke's control.
"Master, the current best solution is to actively guide the sub-dragon bloodline to flow towards Mimi's heart. According to calculations, Mimi's hidden original bloodline has a 25.6% probability of being hidden here, and is most likely to be hidden by the sub-dragon bloodline. It was induced."
"Understood." Duke quickly controlled the arcane weapon hand.
The countless strands distributed in Mimi's body began to vibrate with spiritual energy, suppressing the surging power, and guiding the Yalong bloodline to impact Mimi's heart.
It's like pacing your heart.
With the impact of Yalong's blood, finally, when the power of the magic dragon potion was about to expire, the fleeting breath was accurately captured by the perception of the arcane hand.
"This is the moment!"
Duke's eyes were focused, and his attention was highly focused on the hand of the arcane weapon, guiding the Yalong bloodline to hit hard at the fleeting breath.
boom!
It seemed that this aura was angered by the Yalong bloodline. The aura, which was just a small sign, instantly swept through the entire heart area and directly engulfed the Yalong bloodline.
Duke's arcane hand was also repelled by the swelling aura and had to withdraw from Mimi's body.
At this moment.
Mimi has passed out, but the changes in her body are actually happening. Especially after the blood mist dissipated, the knight's contract mark on his forehead emitted a strong light.
In the light, it can be clearly seen that the second ring suddenly closed, forming a complete circle of 2 rings of knight's contract mark.
New power burst out from the 2-ring mark, slowly repairing Mimi's already dilapidated body.
"Sir!" Vivian exclaimed, filled with joy, "I feel that the fighting spirit has undergone a qualitative change!"
Duke smiled calmly: "Successful."
Mimi has changed from the second-ring spirit beast-Black Spot The Serval bloodline evolved into the 2nd level fantasy beast - the money serval, and Vivian then broke through to the 2nd level fantasy beast knight.
Blinking his eyes, Duke said: "Vivian, go see Mimi."
"Yeah!" Vivian nodded without saying any words of thanks. No words can be as practical as the hard work and action at night.
Leave the lab.
Duke encouraged the brother and sister a few more words, then asked them to go back, while he returned to the office and silently thought about this experiment of phantom beast promotion.
When Xiao Kabuto was promoted to a fantasy beast, he needed to cooperate with the blood refining method, so he didn't feel it in detail.
But in Mimi, he saw more details.
"It's very strange. Mimi has primitive bloodline hidden in her body, which means that most of the spirit beasts have this primitive bloodline. At least there are spirit beasts that can evolve into fantasy beasts." Xiaoyi played back the experimental data. , Duke guessed as he watched.
Judging from the currently known records of phantom beasts, there are more than 3,000 kinds of spirit beasts, all of which have the potential to evolve into phantom beasts.
Distributed among various families and genera.
"With such a complex variety of fantasy beasts, it is very likely that all spirit beasts will have such primitive bloodline in their bodies. It's just that some spirit beasts happen to be activated, and most spirit beasts do not meet the activation conditions... This primitive bloodline should be sacred Ancient dragon."
Duke checked the relevant information in the Offa Tower.
In the early records of the Seven Towers Federation, there was once an astrologer who received the revelation of the sacred ancient dragon from the stars.
However, because it was so old and the Seven Towers Federation was founded at that time, it was not very formal.
As a result, the records are somewhat blurry.
Only part of the narrative content that is difficult to distinguish between true and false is left, saying that there once was a sacred ancient dragon that killed itself in the wild world and spilled its blood on the earth.
But the dragon will eventually revive and return to the sky.
It was also from this earliest dragon legend that the theory that the phantom beast was the bloodline of the dragon gradually spread.
It is said that if a spiritual beast evolves all the way up, it can evolve into a dragon beast.
Transform into a dragon and soar in the sky.
"Many arcane mages deny this statement. The reason is very simple. The phantom beast is level 2, the advanced phantom beast is level 3, and the dragon beast is theoretically only level 4." Duke shook his head, "The level 4 dragon beast is different from the legendary dragon beast. The sacred ancient dragon is too far behind."
However, today's discovery made Duke believe that there is indeed a powerful primitive bloodline hidden in the body of the spiritual beast.
More powerful than dragon blood.
"At that time, the original bloodline in Mimi's body was provoked by the sub-dragon blood, and it surged and engulfed the sub-dragon blood... This shows how powerful the original blood is!" Duke thought.
The spiritual beasts have been bred for who knows how many generations, but the original bloodline can still burst out with powerful power, directly engulfing the power of the bloodline refined from the blood of a sub-dragon. From this we can see that the quality of the original bloodline is far beyond imagination.
"The sub-dragon is at level 9, and the sacred ancient dragon is at level 10, right?" Duke shook his head, unsure, "Humanity's exploration of spiritual arcana has only reached level 8... Level 10 is too far away. ...However, maybe I can get a little glimpse into the secret!"
As more and more knights become trained in "Duke's Feather" and "Duke's Leap", the increase in fighting spirit will become stronger and stronger.
Sooner or later, he will be able to evolve into a 4-ring dragon beast with Kabuto.
By then.
You can get a glimpse of the dragon's appearance.
Perhaps we can also decipher the mystery of the original bloodline in the spirit beast from the 4th ring dragon beast, trace the real sacred ancient dragon, and then peer into the 10th ring realm.
Thinking a bit far ahead.
Duke took back his reverie and decided to be more pragmatic: "Xiao Yi, make a research plan for the phantom beast and merge the plan with the Blood Spirit Crystal-Blood Spirit Array plan." "Good master." The discovery
in
the Axiba tribe, Let Duke see the natural formation created by nature - Blood Spirit Formation, and the product of Blood Spirit Formation, Blood Spirit Crystal.
There is no doubt that the blood spirit crystal is much more powerful than the phantom dragon potion in breaking through spiritual beasts into phantom beasts.
"This will be a great research. If I can study the artificial preparation method of bleeding crystals, it means that I can mass-produce Phantom Beast Knights." Thinking of this, Duke couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Human beings will be more powerful by then. ."
The Ring of Branding allows the fruits of spiritual arcana, such as spirit cards and puppets, to further penetrate society and arm ordinary people, especially the Sanhai monks who are trapped in the 0 ring.
The production of blood spirit crystals further enhanced the knight's combat effectiveness.
"It means that I will use my own power to sublimate the fighting power of mankind on a large scale!"
Although arcane mages represent the real power of mankind, there are too few arcane mages after all and cannot protect a large area. They can only choose to build a town near the spiritual spring to protect an area on a small scale. Most areas are still primitive and wild.
"The combat effectiveness of the Level 2 Phantom Beast Knight can be said to be comparable to that of the Level 1 Arcane Mage... If the Blood Spirit Crystal can be mass-produced, wouldn't it be equivalent to mass-producing Level 1 Arcane Mage?" (End of this chapter
