Chapter 277: The long-awaited establishment of the Emmanuel
Flash communication technology project gave Duke a big stone in his heart, allowing him to devote himself wholeheartedly to the research of ring replication materials.
The news of this experiment was not kept secret for a long time, and it quickly spread throughout the industry.
After all, even Christian Fury personally participated in the experiment and was treated like a guinea pig for Duke to study. The movement was not big enough.
But Duke didn't care about the news leaking.
Ring replicating materials are not a new topic. Suktara alone has been studying it for hundreds of years. It can be said that in the entire circle of Arcane mages in Shenjiao City, no one is unaware of the topic of ring replicating materials, but no one has followed suit in researching it.
Even the great arcane mages can't figure out the reason, so how can ordinary arcane mages study it? That is to say, Suktara is too obsessed with the direction of the ring replication material.
Even the student she brought up single-handedly, the second-level arcane mage Sorel, changed his direction and started studying life boxes.
It can be seen that most arcane mages do not think this is a direction that can be researched.
"Can Sir Duke come up with the results?" Joanna Bobcat asked a circle of Arcane Mage friends at the academic salon she held.
This academic salon is relatively shabby, with only 1st-level arcane mages and 2nd-level arcane mages participating.
Of course, the organizer, Joanna Bobcat, is a 1st level arcanist who takes the arcane route, so it doesn't matter whether she is professional or not in academic terms.
There is more chatting and gossip than academic exchanges.
"I don't know. How do I talk about the direction of ring copying materials? It is indeed a bit unpopular." Carlos, the 2nd ring Austrian mage, said.
"But I think it is possible. I have full confidence in Lord Duke for no reason." 1st Ring Arcane Mage Margot said. She is a female and said with emotion, "I still remember that I was here and Lord Duke also participated. Go to Joanna's salon."
"Unfortunately, the facts have changed now." Carlos was also quite emotional.
Joanna Bobcat said: "Actually, it hasn't been a long time, that is, five or six years ago."
Margot said: "It's really not a long time, but it just feels like a long time has passed... It's actually Duke. Your Excellency's promotion speed is too fast. In just a few years, you have become a big shot like a senior arcane mage. It is simply incredible!"
She said, then looked around at the people in the salon, and sighed: "On the contrary, it seems that it's us. I have been standing still in the past few years."
"There is nothing we can do about it." A young arcanist mage shrugged his shoulders, "Even if you are promoted from level 1 to level 2, it will take more than ten years to achieve it, let alone level 2. Promote to level 3. It’s not that we are too mediocre and are standing still, it’s because Lord Duke is too talented.” “It’s tiring to compare
with geniuses, so my suggestion is that we should think less.” Another arcane mage said. .
Although everyone knows that it cannot be compared with Duke.
Comparison will only hurt the self-confidence of yourself and others.
But the topic couldn't be separated from Duke, even though the topic of Duke had been discussed countless times in the previous salon.
"Joanna, can you still see Lord Duke often now?" A female Arcane mage suddenly thought, "If we can invite Lord Duke to our salon, then our salon will be the most popular one in the entire Black Jiao River. The place is famous."
Joanna rolled her eyes: "Don't think about it, okay? What can we talk about in our salon, let Lord Duke come over to chat about gossip?"
She was very self-aware.
However, there was still an inexplicable feeling in my heart, remembering that when I first met Duke, the two of them interacted as equals.
Or to be more precise, Joanna is in the dominant position, she is the owner of the salon, and Duke is just a somewhat eye-catching talented newcomer. He doesn't talk much every time, and basically just sits quietly in the corner of the sofa and listens. Others talk loudly.
At that time, she had a certain fondness for Duke. After all, she was born in the Bobcat family. If she did not want to marry in another city in the future, the best way would be to find a good local husband.
Duke met her criteria for choosing a mate.
However, with Duke's rocket-like training speed and the fact that Duke soon had a passionate fight with Kilia Furious Wave, she gradually gave up this idea.
Just as she knows what level of salon she holds, she also knows what her identity is.
Not worthy of Duke.
Nowadays, he no longer even has the courage to regard Duke as a friend.
Sometimes when she follows her father Jovis Bobcat, she can see Duke, but she always feels restrained unconsciously. Even though Duke still speaks as gently as usual, she always feels like meeting Christian ·Like a big shot like Nu Tao.
This is not only the aura exuded by the third-level arcane mage, but also the pressure brought by the aura gathered on Duke.
"The distance between me and him is really getting farther and farther!" Joanna is not a sentimental person, but she always falls into sadness from time to time when it comes to Duke.
Just thinking about things.
Suddenly, he was brought back to reality by the fierce words of a young arcane mage.
Just listen to the young arcane mage say: "I don't want to deny Mr. Duke, but looking at Mr. Duke's great inventions, the practical value is always greater than the technical content. Strong light technology, film and television technology, optical storage technology, almost They are all inspired by the slide cards."
He continued to scold Fang Qiu: "Even the brand ring that is shaking the world now is just an ordinary method. It only takes a little inspiration to break it. He is a newcomer. All arcane mages can understand the mystery."
After hearing this, Carlos disagreed very much: "No, no, no, bright light technology and the like. I don't deny that the technology does not have much gold content, it is more inspiration, but the Ring of Branding definitely It is a great masterpiece that can only be invented by a man of great wisdom."
"Where is the gold content of this technology?"
"The gold content is on the gapped ring. From ancient times to the present, there has not been an arcane mage to study the unformed ring, only the imprinted one. The ring relies on the gapped ring to solve the engraving problem. This is simply a stroke of genius. If not for the blessing of spirituality, who can solve it?" "It is indeed a stroke of genius, and it is indeed blessed by spirituality,
but the research idea is relatively novel, so it is not technically difficult. ?”
“Whether the technology is difficult or not depends on how many times you try, especially in the ring research of the gap. I don’t know how many times Mr. Duke tries before he can find the correct idea. How can you guess how difficult it is?” Carlos He argued loudly, "It's not difficult to make cards, but if the sage Ijik didn't invent the spirit card, who could?"
Ijik is one of the ancient sages enshrined in the Temple of Heroes. His greatest achievement is the invention of the spirit card. Create the field of card making.
"In the final analysis, these techniques are very simple." The young arcanist mage spread his hands.
Carlos snorted: "You 1st Ring Arcane Mage have high vision and low hand. A few years ago, when I was chatting and laughing with Lord Duke, I knew that Lord Duke is definitely a man of great wisdom. Spirituality loves wise people the most. It turns out that only Duke is the best." Mr. Ke, lead a moment of coquettishness!"
The young arcanist mage was suddenly speechless.
Who makes Carlos on the opposite side, a second-level arcane mage, qualified to rely on his old age and sell his old age?
Seeing that he had subdued the young arcane mage, Carlos suddenly laughed with satisfaction. After all, old age is still hot.
Then he said loudly: "Many of you have never seen Mr. Duke, and you really don't know what Mr. Duke is like. Back then, I was chatting and laughing with Mr. Duke, and I was always shocked by Mr. Duke's thinking. Now that I think about it, it's really true. It's so inspiring!"
Margot, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, was a little confused. It was said that she was also in the salon back then, and it seemed that she had never seen Duke talk so eloquently.
Joanna rolled her eyes, knowing that Carlos was bragging, but she did not expose him. After all, getting to know Duke was not an important conversation piece in her life.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have to talk about Duke every time she held a salon.
"But." The young man who was supposed to be convinced by Carlos was actually not very convinced. He held his head high and pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm still not optimistic about Sir Duke's research this time. I heard the teacher said I've been through a lot, and it's too difficult to solve easily."
Carlos looked a little ugly when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "Since you think so, let's wait and see!"
Joanna's salon is probably the most popular one on the market. The epitome of wind sound.
Some people are optimistic about Duke's high-profile research ring replicating materials, and some are not optimistic about it, but none of them has affected Duke in the slightest.
He still kept his pace.
I go to the Union Tower in Cuihai City every now and then to deal with government affairs. Most of the remaining time is spent in the laboratory, studying ring replication materials.
Of course, his life is not all about work.
He often takes time to go on dates, see phantoms, or go adventurous hunting in the surrounding forests. Sometimes he even takes an airship to aimlessly visit the entire Black Flood River.
Just before the end of the year, he purchased three airships from Runwu City at once.
The words "Duke Sage Mage Tower-Phantom", "...Phantom Lantern", and "...Phantom" were spray-painted respectively for the arcane mages in the Mage Tower to ride.
As for the battleship, it needs to be specially customized, and Duke has not considered it for the time being.
"The data you collected is much more detailed and solid than the data I have collected over the years, teacher." Suktara left the laboratory with Duke after a spiritual material refining experiment, "Teacher, I It takes time to re-understand these data."
"Don't be in a hurry, teacher, you only need to grasp a general direction, and the rest of the work can be left to Leo Weiss."
Duke replied.
He handed over part of the experiments arranged by Xiaoyi to Suktara. This part of the experiments was not important, and was mainly related to the verification of a batch of spiritual materials.
Suktara has many years of experience in researching ring replication materials, so it is not difficult to host such an experiment.
"It's okay, Leovis is still very practical, but it's time for the Mage Tower to recruit a few more second-level arcane mages." "
Most of the second-level arcane mages have stable careers, and recruitment still requires patience."
"What a pity. " Rael..." Suktara sighed.
Things are changing. In order to support Duke's rise to power, she cut the knot quickly and directly drove away Sorel, a student who had been following him for many years.
Now I miss Sorel a little bit. In any case, Sorel was the student she trained with her own hands. Even if Sorel changed the realm of life, he still had profound knowledge in the field of alchemy and was a qualified helper.
Duke didn't care. He had never met Sorel a few times, and he was used to doing experiments alone.
With Xiaoyi here, it is better than tens of millions of people.
After saying goodbye to Suktara, he started wandering around Lingya Mountain. The castle was still under construction and had not yet been completed.
However, the prototype of a garden castle has already begun to appear. There are green plants and flowers everywhere, and the air is filled with the unique fragrance of plants.
Duke liked this environment best.
Without him, when Xiaoyi hangs up the breathing method, she can rely on these plants to control the overall situation and monitor any blind spots.
The captain of the guard knight, the 2nd-level phantom beast knight - Herdos, and several 1st-level knights, followed closely behind Duke.
They say they are guards, but they are actually followers.
At Duke's level, although there is no need for knights to protect safety, the proper pomp cannot be lost, and followers are also needed to take care of chores.
Unconsciously, I walked down Lingya Mountain and reached Lingchi Farm at the foot of the mountain.
James is now teaching at Sanhai University in Lingya Mountain, and Lingchi Farm has been left in charge of other people most of the time. Among these people in charge, Duke met an acquaintance.
"Sally."
"Sir." Sally, who serves as the general manager of Lingchi Farm, is already a middle-aged woman.
Her two children, Saf and Sawa, are also teenagers. It is winter vacation at this time. The two children are staying with their mother to learn management knowledge. When they saw Duke, they immediately bowed deeply.
Seeing Sally reminded Duke of his time in Snake's Head.
At that time, he had just taken over Little Sam's card repair shop and recruited Sally to be the front desk. Later, he moved to Little Duke Farm, and Sally followed him again, until now.
It can be said that he is Duke's confidant and veteran.
It's just that Sally is an ordinary person, and her talent is not in housework, so she has been working at Lingchi Farm.
"Are Saff and Sawa about to reach the age of opening the Three Seas?" Duke asked.
Sally quickly replied: "Thank you for your concern. Shafu and Shava will be fifteen next spring. They have already contacted the practice station of 'Sanhai Middle School'. They will go to the practice station to take potions to open the Three Seas... It's a pity. It didn't open naturally."
"As long as you can open it by taking drugs, you have the opportunity to practice." Duke said gently, "Didn't I also open the Three Seas by taking drugs?" "
Sir, you have spiritual blessings. As long as Saff and Sawa can open any sea, I will be satisfied." After
chatting with Sally for a few words, Duke asked: "Where's Levin, isn't he on the farm?"
Levin lives in the Wizard Tower. Because he was bored, Duke let him come to the farm to help Sally. He always took good care of his friends in their weak years.
Sally smiled and said, "Sir, you don't know yet. Director Zina introduced someone to Levin. It seems to be a niece from Director Zina's hometown, who came to join Director Zina. I don't know what happened, Levin I just see eye to eye with that girl."
"Oh, Levin has a partner?" Duke was surprised, he really didn't know.
Zina was the former leader of the Broken Sword mercenary group. Now that Duke is in a high position, he naturally wants to benefit his relatives and friends, so he promoted Zina to the mercenary mission center under Faling Tower in Cuihai City as the center director. .
"I guess Director Zina didn't dare to mention it to you before the formal relationship was confirmed. After all, you care about Levin the most." "
This is a good thing. If there is anything I can't mention, I'll have to ask Levin later." Duke is really happy for Levine.
Of course, he still had to keep a check on Levine.
Levin is a bit stupid and has no experience in human affairs. If he encounters a bad woman... But I think with the caution of Zina's supervisor, her niece from her hometown should be a woman with good character.
Duke was really moved when he suddenly heard that Levine was in love, but soon he thought of another person: "Aunt Abi, have you seen her recently?" "Yes,
I did it half a month ago. I just returned to Sheshou Town and went to Black Snake Manor as a guest. Aunt Abi’s children all work in Black Snake Manor, so she stayed with her to take care of her grandson. Well, the Black Snake family takes great care of Aunt Abi’s family.”
"That's good." Duke smiled, a little nostalgic for Aunt Abby's cooking.
Said.
Duke suddenly said: "New Year's Day is coming soon, Sally. I'm going to hold a small banquet in the castle for some old friends from Snakehead Town. You go find Butler Morris and make arrangements with him. "
Okay, I'll go find Butler Morris later." Sally responded. She knew almost everyone Duke knew in Snakehead Town.
After giving the instructions, Duke shook his head and left Lingchi Farm.
His true heart is hidden within the portal of the Twisted Ring, ensuring that he will not get lost on the path of spiritual arcana. But more than a year in Sheshou Town was another twisted ring, guarding every bit of his heart.
…
Nothing interesting happens during the New Year’s Day.
Having a banquet with old friends from their late days was not the warm scene they imagined. Many people did not even dare to breathe in front of Duke.
Only Sally and Levin, because they could see Duke so often, could still remain calm, and the others didn't dare touch their butts on the bench when they were really sitting.
A level 1 arcane mage is already an absolute big shot in their eyes.
And Duke is not only a third-level arcane mage, but also the chief executive of the Union Tower in Cuihai City and the second-in-command of the entire Black Dragon River. This power is too great for these ordinary people to be calm.
So after hastily finishing the banquet, people handed some of the prepared gifts to these people, and Duke sent them away.
The New Year is over.
Duke then grew a year older and was already twenty-three years old.
Arcane mages came to Lingya Mountain to visit him one after another, but he only visited one person, Christian Furious Waves. Of course, he couldn’t say whether he was visiting Christian Furious Waves or dating Kylia Furious Waves. All in all, he had a good time. joy.
"Teacher, happy New Year, nice to see you again." Brother and sister Brock and Ibuprofen rushed back to the Mage Tower on the third day after the New Year's Day.
Duke didn't teach them much. Leo Weiss taught them on his behalf, just like when Duke was in Penrose Wizard Tower, he was taught by Vikas.
"Happy New Year." Duke said with a smile, "You have been studying in the Mage Tower for half a year. Your own meditation methods have been stabilized, and the construction of arcane wonders has begun. Next, I will let Associate Professor Leo Weiss, for You arrange some research topics."
Ibuprofen said happily: "Great, tutor, we can finally participate in the experiment." "
Have a snack, I will check your research group from time to time."
"Please don't worry."
Two The brother and sister promised again and again.
On the fifth day, Delong Kaishu also rushed back. He came back from Runwu City. After all, the main branch of the Kaishu family was in Runwu City.
Duke also gave Deron a few words of encouragement.
He looked down upon Drelli Armored Rat and directly blocked Drellid Armored Rat's hope of becoming the chief ruler of the Elemental Tower. However, he felt pretty good about Drelli's son Deron.
This is a diligent and knowledgeable young man.
It has to be said that aristocratic families may educate some dandy children, but they can also educate elite disciples.
The trivial matters in the Mage Tower did not occupy much of Duke's energy. When he resumed normal work after the New Year's Day, he also resumed the experiments he had stopped years ago.
Teacher Suktara led the team to do various miscellaneous experiments, while he himself tackled the core problem of replicating materials.
"In order for the replicating ring to be accurately projected in the spiritual sea and condense the clone, the fog of spiritual arcana must be cleared away, otherwise it will be impossible to cast the ring of projection... Then how do I solve the problem of positioning the projection of the third-ring arcane mage?"
Projection The ring is based on the Great Arcane Master, a projection of the true spiritual sea, which is a special state of mapping.
Xiaoyi has collected enough data on the Ring of Projection and is gradually analyzing and studying this data to decipher the mystery of the Ring of Projection.
But Xiaoyi is only artificial intelligence after all, not human intelligence.
It doesn’t have the eureka moment to solve a puzzle.
This flash needs to be found by Duke: "Human and spiritual sea, copy ring and real spiritual sea, these should correspond to points on the four quadrants, like (1, 1), (1) on the coordinate axis , -1), (-1, -1), (-1, 1), we need to find out their relationship and find a solution." "
Or use yin and yang to explain, real people and things are yang, invisible The spiritual sea is yin, then the human spiritual sea is yin within yang, and the replica ring is yang within yin. There must be a secret to how to realize the conversion between yin and yang." Duke thought hard
.
But the answer has yet to be found.
Suktara advised this: "You and I are both third-level arcane mage, and have never cleared up the fog of spiritual arcana. Perhaps this is why you can't start... Maybe you can wait until you are promoted to a real arcane mage. Answer it."
She said with some emotion, and there was a lot of regret in her tone, but she did not force Duke to conquer the ring replication material.
This is her obsession, but her obsession is not solving the problem, but the problem itself.
Someone inherited what she had learned and studied her direction, which was helping her resolve her obsession, so she persuaded Duke.
"Teacher, please don't worry. I don't know how to answer a lot of questions. If I really can't think of the answer, I'll wait until I'm promoted to the Great Arcana Mage to research it." Duke was more open-minded than he imagined. "I just feel that there is only one thing between me and the answer." There is only one layer of window paper left."
If you pierce it, you will get the perfect answer.
Therefore, Duke was unwilling to relax for the time being. As spring passed and autumn came, he was still looking for a flash of inspiration to break the situation. From time to time, he would ask Erwin, Christian Fury, and even Boyton Wind Serpent and other great arcane mages to cast the Ring of Projection. He studies.
He already knew the fog of spiritual arcana very well.
There is a layer of fog barrier between ordinary arcane mages and great arcane mages, blocking the arcane mages from observing spiritual power.
If ordinary arcane mages cannot see the power of spirituality and can only perceive it, then in the eyes of great arcane mages, spirituality has a wonderful trajectory and is displayed in the field of vision all the time.
It is a rule that can only be seen by the Grand Arcane Mage, and is a spiritual arcane law.
From a simple understanding, the world seen by ordinary Arcane mages is black and white photos, while the world seen by Great Arcana mages is color photos.
As for arcane instructors, the world they may watch is colorful dynamic videos.
"It's hard to describe this feeling. Clearing away the fog of spiritual arcana means a transformation in the level of life. Things that used to require a lot of energy to understand can now be understood with just a glance, without thinking. Principle."
Erwin tried to describe how to clear the fog of spiritual arcana, but ultimately failed: "This feeling can only be understood but cannot be expressed."
After a pause, he continued: "In short, the direction of replicating materials is inherently difficult. It's not because you don't do research well or don't understand it thoroughly, but because it may be restricted by spiritual arcana." "I understand
. ." Duke nodded.
The Great Ao Mage can see certain rules clearly at a glance, so when casting the Ring of Projection, he can accurately locate the copy ring and project it.
This is a natural method, just like a baby growing a pair of legs and being able to run and jump when its body is long and solid.
instinct.
"So, don't be influenced by your teacher. I can't say that copying materials is a dead end, but the future is bleak." After Erwin finished speaking, he immediately changed the subject, "Offata will add new materials soon. The chief sage of Offa Tower, Duke, you have great hopes this time!"
