Chapter 272 Chief Executive of the Union Tower of Cuihai City
"Meow!"
The 2-ring fantasy beast with money markings instead of black markings - Money Serval Cat Mimi, suddenly pounced into Vivian's hand, golden light flashed, it had turned into a A long sword with a light golden handle.
Phantom beast. Phantom beast.
As the name suggests, it is a spiritual beast that can change its form.
The transformed form of the money serval is not armor, but a money sword, but the hilt seems to melt and fuse with Vivian's hand.
"It's cool." Duke, who was standing opposite, looked at Vivian holding the money sword and exclaimed in admiration, "But its power needs further testing... Kabuto, it's our turn to transform into one."
Accompanied by Duke's call.
Kabuto yelled "Ouch", ran directly towards Duke, bumped into Duke, and then transformed into a set of spiked armor at an extremely fast speed.
One of the spikes appeared in Duke's hand. It was thin and long, like a sharp sword.
"Are you ready, Vivian?" Duke asked in a deep voice under his ferocious helmet.
Vivian held a sword flower at any time and responded: "Sir, please."
Duke immediately stepped forward, and the transformed fighting spirit quickly covered the spikes on his hands. He called out the spikes For "Wasp Sword".
It means the back needle of the wasp's tail.
At this moment, the Wasp Sword was wrapped in his fighting spirit, as if it had a sharp blade on the outside, condensing into a long sword two fingers wide.
The fighting spirit of the 2nd level fantasy beast knight can already transform into soldiers.
This is a principle similar to that of releasing arcane magic. It is the transformation of invisible power into tangible things. However, arcane magic is ever-changing, while fighting spirit must be relatively fixed.
when!
The two of them passed by each other, the money sword and the wasp sword clashed, and the fighting spirit that condensed into substance collided and shattered like ice.
Tiny debris flew, and before it hit the ground, it turned into fighting energy and dissipated.
"Your "Swift Sword Technique" has improved a lot. The power and angle of this move are perfect." Duke praised while fighting.
Every bit of Vivian's efforts was visible in his eyes.
However, sometimes hard work cannot fill the gap in talent. At least compared to Duke, Vivian's combat effectiveness is somewhat lacking.
Buzz!
The moment he passed by again, the Hornet Sword swung away the Money Sword at a tricky angle, and then the tip of the sword directly grazed Vivian's temple, ejecting a sharp sword light.
If the angle were a little more tilted, the sword light would have pierced Vivian's cheek.
"Your reaction is slow, Vivian. If I have the intention, this sword can determine the outcome." Duke turned around and struck out with another sword, accurately hitting the attack line of the money sword. The sword glow was like a poisonous snake spitting. Faith is general, sometimes it shrinks, sometimes it surges.
Vivian didn't answer. Facing the pressure from Duke, she couldn't be distracted.
He could only grit his teeth and wave the money sword in his hand, trying to keep up with Duke's fighting rhythm. His fighting spirit kept running, trying to land a threatening blow.
pity.
Although Duke on the opposite side has not condensed "Duke's Feather", "Duke's Leap" is running almost all the time, making his body movements extremely flexible.
Occasionally, Vivian's money sword can break through the blockade and stab Duke.
However, Duke would always use "Gamat's Shield" in time to prevent this blow. Not to mention hurting Duke, not even the spiked armor could touch him.
"You still need to work hard, Vivian." Duke commented calmly.
The wasp sword in his hand would always make tricky and weird attacks from time to time, forcing Vivian to panic.
Whether it's swordsmanship or bodywork, any fighting spirit martial skill can turn decay into magic in Duke's hands.
There is no other reason.
Xiao Yi will calculate countless fighting methods based on fighting spirit martial arts, and then after these methods are displayed, Duke will follow suit. Over time, these fighting spirit martial arts seemed to have been refined over time and became Duke's subconscious behavior.
The so-called enlightenment is nothing more than that.
Vivian gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and then summoned up her fighting spirit to rush towards Duke, but her movement was already messed up.
Duke taught her day and night, in a simple and profound way, and she couldn't even perform the "Duke's Leap" that he had just taught her.
However, just when Duke was about to shake his head and comment.
The long sword of money suddenly struck his face with a ray of sword light. The cold light was a little bit colder. Duke reacted instinctively, crossed his hands, and gathered a Gamat shield in front of his face. His fighting spirit quickly became as hard as iron, and any sword light was difficult to resist. Through.
But just when the sword light was about to hit the Gamater Shield, Xiaoyi's red light warning flashed past on the Dou Qi holographic screen.
The next second.
That bit of cold light turned around without warning, as if the sword light turned into a cat's claw, bypassing the Gamat Shield and grabbing heavily on the spiked armor's mask.
Snap!
There were three cracks in the mask of the spiked armor.
"Huh!" After Vivian struck this blow, she suddenly collapsed on the ground, her whole body's strength was almost exhausted, and her chest heaved violently.
Duke was stunned for a moment.
Although the spiked armor has not been broken yet, and even the instantaneous 2-ring combined arcane-element arcane shield has not been activated, which indicates that this blow will not pose any threat to him.
But if it were someone else, an ordinary 2nd level fantasy beast knight, he might not be able to dodge this attack.
"Well done!" Duke came back to his senses and praised without hesitation, "What is this move? Is it Mimi's own natural attack?" "I don't know, it was
Mimi who told me in her heart that it can do it. At this point." Vivian grabbed Duke's hand and stood up, "It can transform into a money sword, and when it releases the sword light, it can turn into a cat's claw to attack the opponent." "Well, it's pretty good
. One move, a sneak attack is quite effective." Duke smiled, "It should be similar in nature to my wasp sword, both of which are the innate abilities of fantasy beasts." In addition to being able to
transform into spiked armor, Xiao Kabuto can also condense an additional thin thread. Long spikes, also known as wasp swords.
In addition to being able to transform into a money sword, Mimi can also perform a surprise attack.
He thought for a moment and gave Mimi's move a catchy name: "Why don't we call it Cat Claw Shadow Slash, what do you think?"
Although he felt a little ashamed.
But Vivian has always relied on Duke's opinion, so she nodded without hesitation: "Well, let's call it Cat Claw Shadow Slash."
"Meow..." Miow has released the illusion and condensed into a physical form. Mi, licked the cat's paw with some disdain.
Kabuto, who also released the transformation, rolled his eyes when he saw Mimi dare to roll his eyes, so he yelled dissatisfied at Mimi: "Ouch!" The
battle was over.
Duke has basically made a judgment on the combat effectiveness of the Level 2 Phantom Beast Knight. It may still be weaker than the Level 1 Arcane Mage, but not much weaker.
Once it is possible to mass-produce 2-ring fantasy beast knights, it will really bring about earth-shaking changes to the world.
However, Duke is not in a hurry to study blood spirit formations, blood spirit fruits, and mass-produce fantasy beast knights. He has too many research projects: "In the next period of time, practice hard first...promoting to the third level is too fast, and the basics There is no time to consolidate it."
On the first ring of orbit, the Eye of Arcane Weapon was still in the research and development center.
There are still two vacancies on the second ring track, and there are no plans for the time being.
On the third ring track, the Arcane Wonder of Elemental Armor is under construction. Once completed, it can be linked with the two Arcane Wonders of Arcane Shield and Elemental Shield. Instantaneous 3-ring combination of Arcane-Elemental Armor will provide direct defense. Laman.
When facing the Great Ao Mage, Duke will have the confidence to go for several rounds.
"Master." Xiaoyi reminded in real time, "The charging of the star mark has been completed." "
Is it completed?" Duke quickly returned to his office, locked the door, decisively opened the star dream, and started a new round of lighting. The work of the stars.
However, except for the three-ring tree king-Snowshirt King who was locked in the Snowshirt Palace of the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice by great luck, no other tree king developed by humans was found.
After running for half an hour and successfully lighting up forty or fifty stars, Duke returned to the real world.
Although there are endless stars in the Starry Dream, Duke is not in a hurry. He goes to light up the stars every four days, and one day they will all be lit up.
immediately.
He took out a lump of wood from his arms.
"Heart of Oak...I don't know how to activate it." Rubbing the Heart of Oak in his hand, Duke thought of another thing, "What if I let Oak Spirit recover the ancestor of the oak tree and then plant it on Lingya Mountain?" , is it equivalent to being bound to the place of return to the city?"
The chicken, a 2-level elf, can recycle the 2-level elf's original spirit plant - Ji Yulu.
As a third-level great elf, Oak Spirit can naturally recycle the original spirit of the third-level great elf - the ancestor of the oak tree.
When he returns to Cuihai City, he will spit out the ancestor of the oak tree and plant it again.
"But... let's forget it. Once the ancestors of the oak tree are taken away, I'm afraid the Asiba tribe will suffer a disaster." Duke definitely doesn't want to see this situation. "On the other hand, the Asiba tribe can also Become one of my three cunning rabbit caves."
In case of danger within the Seven Towers Federation, the Asiba tribe is his best refuge.
Much safer than Snowshirt Palace.
...
Just as the hot summer season was approaching, Christian Raging Waves convened a meeting of the Five Towers.
In addition to Christian Fury, Williams, Irvine, Stephen Wings, Bernoulli, Duke, Orucci, Jovis Bobcat and Penrose, Boyton Wind was also invited Snake, attend this meeting.
The above people were either the chiefs of the Five Pagodas in Shenjiao City or the acting chiefs of the Five Pagodas in Cuihai City, so they were able to attend.
As for Drelli Armored Rat and Haut Warthog, who are eyeing the Five Towers of Cuihai City, they are not yet qualified to join.
"The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss the candidate for the chief executive of the Five Towers in Cuihai City, the second city in the Black Dragon River." Erwin, acting as the chief executive of Cuihai City, sat on the left hand side of Keystone and presided over this meeting. At the meeting, "Referring to the structure of one city and two cities in other regions, we need to appoint a new team in Cuihai City." The
Seven Towers Federation is a federal country.
Each region is equivalent to an independent federation, and even each market town belongs to an independent federation. Each has its own business, but it will have certain subordinate attributes.
In the past, the five towers in Shenjiao City were able to coordinate the entire Heijiao River area. Now that there is Cuihai City, they will inevitably be separated from each other.
"According to the structure of one place and two cities, the five towers in Shenjiao City are the chief, and the five towers in Cuihai City are the deputy. When there are major decisions in Heijiao River, two sets of teams, the chief and the deputy, are needed to jointly participate in the decision-making. That is to say, the five towers meeting, Promoted to the Ten Tower Conference."
Erwin continued: "Under this system, the Shenjiao City Union Tower is the leader, the chief executive controls the overall situation of Heijiao River, Cuihai City Union Tower is the deputy, and the Shenjiao City Union Tower is the deputy. The chief executive carries out a clear division of labor."
Although he is deputy, the chief executive of Cuihai City United Tower has the same level as the chief executive of Shenjiao City United Tower.
The level is still higher than that of the chiefs of the other four towers.
"Everyone understands the system, right?" Erwin finished talking about the system and began the text, "Today we will communicate internally and recommend candidates, and we will expand the scope of the recommendation another day to allow settlers in the Black Jiao River area to sign up to compete for positions. "
After a pause, Erwin said: "As for the result of the competition, it will be voted on by the enlarged meeting." The
Black Dragon River area is a federation, but it is not a truly independent federation. The power of personnel appointment and removal still has to go through the Seven Towers Federation. Union Tower enlarged meeting.
However, according to the voting process of relevant meetings, the opinions of local voters in Shenjiao City will be given priority.
At present, the five votes of Christian Fury, Williams, Irvine, Stephen Wing Tiger and Duke are basically unanimous. Boyton Wind Snake has already turned to Duke in advance and should be voted on. A unanimous choice will also be given.
As for Bernoulli, he definitely favors the established nobles of Runwu City.
"Okay, everyone has been informed of the instructions. Now we will nominate candidates, starting from the Union Tower in Cuihai City." Erwin said calmly, "Although I am the acting governor, I will not participate in the competition. I recommend Duke to serve as the Cuihai City Union Tower." Chief Ruler of the Sea City United Tower."
The two sages, the ring of imprints, unlocked the will of the stars... A series of added achievements made Duke's reputation resound throughout the Seven Towers Federation.
It also directly led to the unanimous election of Duke as the chief executive of the Union Tower by all members of the meeting.
Even Bernoulli recommended Duke with a serious face.
After all, the Black Jade family needs to take root in Cuihai City, and the one they cannot avoid in the future is Duke. No matter what, they cannot openly offend Duke.
"Then the next one is the chief director of Cuihai City's Elemental Tower. I personally recommend Jovis Bobcat as the chief director. Jovis Bobcat has many years of experience in governing the Shenjiao City Union Tower. He is also an arcanist with rich combat experience. Qualified for this position."
Erwin was still the first recommendation.
Keyston held the tea cup and leisurely agreed: "Second."
Williams also seconded. Stephen Yihu, as the chief director of the Element Tower in Shenjiao City, added another sentence: "Jovis Bobcat is extremely talented. And he is not very old, and he is very likely to be promoted to the fourth level Arcane Mage in the future."
Duke smiled and said: "I second the proposal."
Bernoulli frowned and said calmly: "I recommend Drelli Armored Rat. Delali Armored Rat is also extremely talented. The Armored Rat family has worked very hard in the elemental realm. The Armored Rat family has been involved in all major and small pioneering wars in the Wind Breath Realm." He finished
.
Bernoulli then looked at Boyton Wind Snake. In the entire meeting, he and Boyton Wind Snake were the only outsiders.
Boyton Wind Snake lowered his head to stare at his tea cup and said lightly: "I agree."
Bernoulli frowned deeper.
"Next is the chief director of Cuihai City's Erudite Tower. I recommend Boyton Wind Snake." Erwin quickly moved on to the next step.
Everyone still chose to second the proposal, Duke was no exception, and Bernoulli was no exception.
Then the election of the Chief Director of the Observation Tower will be held. Erwin announced the name that had been discussed long ago: "Karius Flamingo."
Everyone seconded the proposal, including Boyton Wind Serpent.
Bernoulli was the only one with an ugly face. He was determined to win this position, but now it was obvious that the indigenous group headed by Keystone had left him out.
He couldn't help but recommend himself.
He could only pinch his nose and recommend another candidate: "Bliss Black Jade, my son, has profound attainments in the field of Gu control, and there is an old man who paved the way for him. I believe he will do more than Karius, the construction leader. Okay!"
"Berlis Black Jade? If I remember correctly, he is Bernoulli's son born in your early years. He must be one hundred forty or fifty years old now, right?" Williams said softly, "Distance 3 The life span of the Arcane Mage is 180 years old, and it seems that it won't be long."
"Hmph!" Bernoulli gritted his teeth, "My son has the talent to clear away the fog of spiritual arcana." "
Then we might as well wait until he clears it, and then we choose him. , why are you so anxious to make the election?" Williams continued to express his anger.
Bernoulli was too lazy to argue with him and looked directly at Erwin: "I have already recommended him, hurry up and move on to the next step."
Erwin said cheerfully: "Why are you anxious? You and I won't be able to die in a while. "
You!"
"Okay, stop arguing, your ears hurt." Christian waved his hand, "Hurry up and end it. I'm still waiting to go back and watch the Phantom movie. Recently, DreamWorks has released several good-quality Phantom movies. You guys Remember to go and see it."
He was helping his granddaughter to attract business.
Erwin stopped pestering Bernoulli and said: "Next is the chief director of Faling Tower in Cuihai City. I recommend Penrose. Penrose is not only the veteran ruler of the Union Tower in Shenjiao City, but also the enlightenment mentor of Duke Sage. , the qualifications are sufficient."
"Second."
"Second."
When it was Bernoulli's turn, he immediately said: "I recommend Haute Warthog. The Warthog family is an old aristocrat. He is also young and promising, more advanced than Penrose. It's appropriate."
After the words fell, Boyton Wind Snake suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I second your Excellency Bernoulli's proposal."
Duke raised his eyebrows, but didn't care.
Even though Boyton Wind Snake obviously has the intention to turn to him, he is still a member of the established aristocracy of Runwu City and has his own social circle.
The Wind Snake family, the Warthog family, and the Armored Rat family migrated to Cuihai City together, and they must be involved in private.
So far.
The Five Towers Meeting in Shenjiao City has recommended all the candidates and is waiting to be reported to the Seven Towers Federation for formal elections.
However, individual registrations will be accepted in the future. Candidates with sufficient qualifications will be reported to the Seven Towers Federation and put together with the officially recommended candidates for the election. Finally, the final candidate was selected by voting through an enlarged meeting.
There is no grinding, and there is no assessment from superiors.
Five days later, the large conference room of the Union Tower in Cuihai City was filled with people. All arcane mages with the right to vote for the expanded meeting were sitting in the inner conference room.
The electors sat in the outer conference room.
Duke was also sitting in the outer conference room, because the first round of the enlarged meeting would select the chief executive of the Union Tower. As an elector, he had to avoid this vote.
"Mr. Duke, your vote is just a formality and should be over soon." Karius Flamingo said with a smile.
He has the support of the local circle and is very high-spirited at the moment. He believes that he has a good chance of winning in the competition for the chief director of the Observation Tower.
"You can't say that. There is still pressure." Duke looked around at the electors and found that there were quite a few people who signed up independently.
In addition to several third-level arcane mages who migrated from Runwu City, there are also several local third-level arcane mages, such as Narnia, the director of the Element Tower, Freul, the external director of the Union Tower, and even Stephen Wing. Tiger's nephew, Scott Wing Tiger.
Stephen Yihu competes for the position of chief director of Faling Tower.
Everyone has their own opinions, especially at the level of a 3rd level arcane mage, they are not easily swayed.
Even Stephen Yihu didn't understand why his nephew, who had been immersed in studying the field of life all day long and barely asked about foreign affairs, suddenly came to compete for the chief director of the Faling Tower.
Time passed by in seconds.
About a quarter of an hour later, a Da'ao mage walked out of the inner conference room, faced everyone, and said in a solemn voice: "I am the envoy of the United to High Tower Expanded Conference, Ravens. I will now organize this expanded meeting of United to High Tower, regarding Cuihai The voting results of the City Union Tower chief executive election will be announced."
Everyone immediately sat upright and listened to the results.
Ravens read aloud: "The number of voters is fifty-seven, the actual vote is fifty-seven, and the number of voting rounds is one...Duke received fifty-two votes, gaining absolute voting power. With the approval of the United Supreme Tower, it was officially Serve as the chief executive of Cuihai City."
Crash.
There was thunderous applause, and everyone applauded Duke whether willingly or unwillingly.
This result is not unexpected. If the title of Double Sage, 3-ring arcane mage, inventor of the Ring of Branding, and even the chief executive of the small Union Tower in Cuihai City cannot be elected, it is estimated that the observation tower investigation team of the Seven Towers Federation will not be able to win the election. It's time to come down and take accountability.
"Thank you, thank you." Duke stood up, there wasn't much surprise on his face.
Before he could make a speech, Ravens said in a deep voice: "The next round of enlarged meetings is about to begin. Please invite Sage Duke to go to the inner conference room and vote." "Okay." Duke followed Ravens and
entered
. Inside the laboratory.
Ravens' figure quickly dispersed, but another messenger, Mossburn Fire Sheep, came again and continued to preside over the enlarged meeting.
This meeting votes to elect the chief director of the Element Tower.
When the ballots were sent out, Duke discovered that it was not as simple as simply filling in a name, but also explaining the reasons for his choice.
"Jovis Bobcat is qualified and talented enough to hold this position. I have known Jovis Bobcat for many years and have great trust in him... I believe that Jovis Bobcat will serve as the chief director of the Elemental Tower and will be very helpful to me in the upcoming United Tower. work, has a very important benefit."
Duke chose Jovis Bobcat and, as chief executive of the United Towers, focused on the benefits of cooperation between them.
Afterwards, messenger Mossborne Fire Sheep took away everyone's votes.
A moment later, the messenger from Ravenscroft came down again and read out the results of this round of voting: "...Jovis Bobcat got twenty-one votes, and Drellie Armor got twenty votes. Neither of them received more than half of the votes. … Hold a second round of voting, choose between two people, and explain new reasons.”
Duke thought for a moment.
Decisively wrote on the ballot: "During the period of acting chief director Jovis Bobcat, the operation of the Element Tower was very effective, which is in line with my next strategic plan for Cuihai City." The ballot was handed in
.
After a while, Mossburn Fire Sheep's messenger arrived and read out the results: "Jovis Bobcat got twenty-seven votes, and Drellie Armored Rat got twenty-four votes. Jovis Bobcat got two extra votes." The votes, after the enlarged meeting ruled, Jovis Bobcat won the election."
Duke, Keystone, Irvine and others looked at each other and smiled.
Feeling great.
Stopping Drelli Armor Rat was the result he wanted most.
This guy took advantage of the fact that his great-grandfather was the 6th ring sky arcane instructor and the chief director of the Elemental Tower of Runwu City. He snatched the twin springs as soon as he came over, and did not take Duke, who had already obtained the title of Erudite Sage, in his eyes at all.
Duke can remember this hatred firmly - even if he can't remember it, Xiaoyi will remind him when he hears the name Delelli Armored Rat.
It can be said.
The grudges Duke had made could either be forgiven or revenged. Forgetting was not an option.
Next, a new enlarged meeting vote began. Without much surprise, Boyton Wind Snake successfully won the position of chief director of the Erudite Tower, while Karius Flamingo barely won the election after three rounds of voting. Observation Tower chief trustee position.
Although Bernoulli did not run for the election, his son Boris Black Jade received the support of the established nobles of Runwu City.
Fortunately, in the enlarged meeting, the two chief executives, Duke and Keystone, both had extra votes, which helped Karius Flamingo survive until the end.
Only at the last enlarged meeting, Penrose lost to Haute Warthog without any surprise, using only one round of voting.
"Not only Runwu City, but also United Tower, we don't want local forces to come to power in the Black Flood River." After the enlarged meeting, Christian Rage put his hands behind his back and said, "Comfort and comfort your enlightenment. Mentor, you will be the host later and invite the new leadership team of Cuihai City to gather together."
Duke, the first chief executive of the Union Tower in Cuihai City, nodded: "I understand, we have already sent people to arrange the banquet. ”
