Chapter 286: Sand Eagle Holds Back
The Seven Towers Federation is a country, but in essence, it is more like an arcane association, just packaged in the form of a country.
The stars are responsible for managing the operation of the country, with the seven highest towers as the core, connecting federal members at all levels together.
The prophet is responsible for exploring spiritual arcana. He not only needs to promote the development of various fields to the lower classes of society, but also needs to gather the full strength of society to promote the development of spiritual arcana.
Essentially.
All of this is to promote the development of spiritual arcana, not for the people's livelihood and contentment. It just happens that the harmonious development of the entire society is most conducive to promoting the advancement of spiritual arcana, and the Seven Towers Federation came into being.
Sitting in the large conference room, I felt the chief sages of the Tower of Offa, seriously discussing how to promote the advancement of spiritual arcana.
Duke felt as if all the people in the world were a chessboard and he was the chess player.
"Regarding the distribution of areas for Duke's chief sage, it was already clear at the time of the addition that he would lead the field of erudition." Speaker Gianluca Zambrotta led the meeting, "Sersus, Madron, you two have always been in charge of the field of erudition. Now Now that Duke has joined, how will the direction of the work be adjusted?"
Because Duke only had half an hour of ghost clone duration, there was no lengthy polite nonsense in the meeting.
Go straight.
The first topic is Duke's responsibilities.
Sirsas obviously had plans: "The field of natural history has developed rapidly in recent years. I lead the research of new technologies, and Madron leads the sinking of technology. Now there is still one person missing to lead the interaction between natural history and other fields of technology. Chief Duke The sages will take charge."
Madron Rhodiola nodded calmly: "Second."
Zambrotta nodded and asked the other prophets: "Do you have any objections?"
No one replied, obviously no one had any objections, so he He immediately decided: "Then Duke, your area of responsibility is the technical interaction between the field of erudition and other fields." "
Understood." Duke nodded.
In fact, he didn't quite understand what kind of work a prophet should do. After all, it only took half a day from being added as a prophet to coming to the meeting.
The work content and work ideas have not been sorted out.
But it doesn’t matter. Once you gradually become familiar with the work of a prophet, you will naturally know what you should do.
Zambrotta immediately moved on to the next topic: "Regarding the research on the Ring of Consonance, there are currently two major areas that need to be overcome. The first one is the interference of the Ring of Consonance with the fog of spiritual arcana. How to use the Ring of Consonance to establish and clear it? A shortcut to the fog."
He looked at Pangasi Libra: "You are in charge of the contract field. You will lead this research, and Dogus will be responsible for assisting." Dogus
is a prophet in the alchemy field, but a 6-ring sky arcane mage, not a group of stars.
"Understood."
"The second part is the research of Lingxi projection technology. We have to integrate Lingxi projection technology on the basis of arcane projection technology, so that more 3rd-level arcane mages and even 2nd-level arcane mages can participate. The federal information is in operation."
After Zambrotta finished talking about the second research, he glanced at Duke and said calmly: "You, Zidele, will lead this research, and Duke will be responsible for assisting."
Zidele Xingling , the chief executive of the United Supreme Tower, and the arcane instructor of 8 Rings of Radiance.
The Xingling family is the descendant of sages. Their ancestor Qi Zhist was a great pharmacist. He invented the awakening potion and the gas-increasing potion, which greatly expanded the group of monks. Therefore, with the contribution of these two potions, he was selected as a heroic spirit. temple.
After the family was ennobled, they took the name Awakening Potion.
However, Zidler himself is not a pharmacist, but an alchemist, a prophet in the field of alchemy.
He looked majestic and spoke in a serious tone. He nodded to Gianluca Zambrotta and then looked at Duke: "The project headquarters is located in my Crystal Palace. You can just come directly to my Crystal Palace in the future. We will discuss the specific details later." ."
"Okay." Duke nodded in agreement.
After the two topics ended, Gianluca Zambrotta started a new topic: "The ring of consonance will definitely contribute to the development of spiritual arcana in the foreseeable future. All major fields must be prepared to deal with it in advance. ."
So prophets in various fields gave speeches one after another, predicting the future, and based on the present, seeking development that follows the trend.
Duke said nothing.
Because when it was almost his turn, he realized that it was almost half an hour, so he could only apologize, and then the shadow of the clone slowly dissipated.
"Huh!"
Duke, who was lying on the sofa chair in the office on the 101st floor of Duke's Sage Mage Tower, slowly opened his eyes.
He touched his clean-shaven chin and sighed: "Half an hour is too short!"
He understood more and more why those prophets didn't choose him last year.
It’s really hard to shoulder the responsibilities of a prophet if you can’t hold meetings. Even if you can hold meetings for half an hour now, it will still hinder your work.
But at least it's much better than not being able to hold meetings.
"No wonder everyone at the Prophet Conference spoke quickly and without delay...I can last for half an hour. Those arcane mages and arcane teachers can only last for one or two hours at most. The clone shadow cannot last too long. For a long time."
If the meeting lasts too long, it is estimated that half of the prophets will have to leave early. Over time, everyone likes to keep their stories short.
"This is also a good thing. Develop high efficiency and refuse to argue with each other!"
Sitting on the sofa chair, thinking about the prophet's feelings for a while, Duke felt very happy. It is true that power will make people expand.
Although he failed to become a star, he became a prophet and still belonged to the absolute ruling class of the Seven Towers Federation.
After thinking for a moment.
Until Xiaoyi's prompt brought him back to reality: "Master, the star marks in Duke's Star have been charged." "
Okay." Duke adjusted his breathing.
Immediately, the imprint of the stars was activated, and the next moment, the familiar feeling of spinning and turning came over, and the surrounding scene was changing, and it had already appeared under the starry sky of the dreamland of stars.
The densely lit stars were like a sea of light in the night sky, and Duke stood in the center of the sea of light.
Stand on the brightest star, the Duke Star.
"It's changing, but it's a pity that Xiaoyi can't see it and can't quantify this change." Duke looked at the Duke Star under his feet and could clearly see that it was larger than before and much brighter. "It seems to be because of the stars I light up."
The more stars light up, the greater the change in Duke's star.
However, Duke didn't go into details. He could only stay here for half an hour, and he had to spend all his time lighting up the endless stars.
With a flash of thought, Duke's star has flown to the edge of the sea of light, next to the latest lit star.
Duke stepped forward and quickly ran towards an unlit star in front of him, and then began to feel the tree king corresponding to this star.
"Huh!"
"What an unexpected surprise, it's another tree king in the human habitat. Hmm... it seems to be an apple tree... This should be the Blue Kingdom. The surrounding architectural styles are very similar, but I can't be sure, and I can't observe the text information. ."
The Azure Kingdom is located in the eastern part of the Seven Towers Federation, located on the Whale Peninsula, bordering the Dadonghai Sea. Like the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice, it is basically a vassal of the Seven Towers Federation.
Recording his feelings, Duke's consciousness exited this king apple tree. This was already the fourth king tree he had lit up in the human habitat.
It's a pity that it is still not within the scope of the Seven Towers Federation.
Then the process of lighting up the stars was not so smooth, and it had nothing to do with humans. When the time came, the world started to spin, and Duke returned to the sofa chair again.
"It's not bad, at least there is another tree king on human territory."
He was sighing when Xiaoyi suddenly reminded: "Master, Duke's star has undergone unknown changes. In addition to the star marks, there is another similar one. Mark."
"Huh?" Duke immediately looked inside Linghai.
Duke's Star is moving slowly in the ninth ring orbit. Its irregular crystal structure previously contained the imprints of the stars. At this moment, in addition to the imprints of the stars, there is a new imprint, and it emits strong information feedback.
So Duke couldn't help but start to feel this new mark.
In an instant, the information connected to his mind, surprising him: "This is... Duke Star has an exclusive starry sky. This exclusive starry sky seems to be able to accommodate a lot of things... This is a storage space Ah!"
He immediately activated the mark.
In an instant, his mind entered a hazy area. The area was not very big, just as big as a house of 100 square meters.
There is a shining star above the head, it is Duke's star.
It seems that the starlight of Duke's Star is the key to maintaining this misty area. It is during this period that the light of Duke's Star becomes stronger and stronger, which can open up this exclusive starry sky and provide Duke with a private storage space.
and.
He quickly figured out how to use this private storage space. He only needed spiritual touch and thought guidance to bring objects into the exclusive starry sky and preserve them for a long time.
He immediately touched the teacup on the table with his psychic energy.
With a flash of thought, the tea cup disappeared from the table. Then look inside the spiritual sea to activate this new mark, and you can see a tea cup floating quietly in the exclusive starry sky, without moving or shaking, and the water in the cup is soft and smooth. The heat remained the same.
After trying a few more times, he was able to skip the step of looking inside the spiritual sea and directly activate this new mark with his thoughts.
Complete the process of storing and taking out items.
Very convenient, almost no consumption, and everything can be done in an instant without waiting.
So he put all the eight moonlight cages he carried with him into the exclusive starry sky.
When in danger, all it takes is a thought, and the moonlight cage will come to your hands, and then the defense will be activated instantly.
"Perfect!" Duke couldn't help but rejoice, "Praise to the goddess Nyx!"
He then continued to experiment with the exclusive starry sky, and found that the exclusive starry sky could not store living creatures, and there was no breathing environment in it.
The white mice, chickens and ducks he experimented with quickly succumbed to lack of oxygen and suffocated after being put in.
Plants cannot be put in. Although they die slowly, they will eventually die. However, if the seeds of the plant are put in, they will not lose their activity.
In addition, he put fertilized eggs in and found that chicks could still hatch normally after a few days.
In addition, when food is put in, some will spoil and some will not.
"Well, it can be basically judged that the exclusive starry sky is not a paradise for life. Seeds and eggs, which have not yet germinated, can be stored for a long time. Microorganisms such as bacteria can still breed in it, but they need nutrients..." If microorganisms are mixed in
food , it may deteriorate, but if there are no microorganisms mixed in, it will not deteriorate.
If you put a piece of ice in, it will always be a piece of ice.
But if you put a fire in it, it will be extinguished quickly.
"The exclusive starry sky does not change the material itself, but it does not provide the conditions required for life and the conditions required for material transformation."
Therefore, the fire that requires oxygen will be extinguished, but the ice will last forever; the mouse suffocates to death, but the egg will remain viable; Microorganisms can continue to reproduce, and food will be damaged as a result - energy derived from itself will continue, and energy derived from the outside will immediately cease.
"Understood!"
Duke had completely understood the nature of the exclusive starry sky. He looked inside the spiritual sea and looked at a new mark in Duke's star.
Name it directly: "Storage Mark."
"In this way, Duke's star will have two marks: the star mark and the storage mark... When I light up more stars, the light of Duke's star will be stronger. I don’t know if there will be a third mark or even more marks.”
Although it is unknown, we can look forward to it.
He couldn't help but praise again: "Thank you Goddess Nyx for the gift, just wait for me to take you far away!"
With the exclusive starry sky.
He immediately stored all his valuable things in it, as well as a set of daily necessities, as well as food that could be stored for a long time.
If one day you end up living in the wilderness, you can still live well by relying on the things in the exclusive starry sky.
...
The discovery of the exclusive starry sky did not change Duke's pace of life.
After being added as a prophet, he immediately participated in the research and development of Lingxi projection technology. When the cooling period of the Lingxi ring passed, he condensed the clone shadow again.
Appeared in Zidele Awakening's Crystal Palace.
A large number of sages and scholars in the fields of alchemy, erudition, and contracts have been summoned by Zidele Xingling, and they have begun to devote themselves to research work in the attached laboratory of the Crystal Palace.
"Sir Prophet Duke."
"Sir Prophet."
The sages and scholars saluted Duke one after another. Even though many of them were Daao mages, they still respected Duke.
The prophet is the ceiling for exploring spiritual mysteries.
What's more, Duke is also an outstanding person who invented two "ring" level technologies. If it were not so shocking for a living person to be selected into the Temple of Valor, it is estimated that the prophet would not be enough to highlight Duke's achievements.
Many sages and scholars even discussed secretly in private: "If Lord Duke died on the spot, he would probably be elected to the Temple of Heroes the next day, right?" "
One person contributes two rings, and it would be equivalent to any old man. All the arcane mages can be satisfied."
"I will never see the back of Prophet Duke in this life!" "
Spirituality is so favored. I'm afraid there has never been a person like Prophet Duke who has been favored by spirituality. My beloved."
Praise, emotion, and jealousy.
But no one expressed dissatisfaction with Duke's addition as a prophet. The Ring of Branding and the Ring of Consonance were real great achievements, and they were destined to stand as monuments on the path of spiritual arcana.
"Duke, you're here." Zidele Xingling was in the laboratory. After seeing Duke, he directly waved Duke over.
"Your Excellency Zidele." Duke said hello.
He is already a prophet and does not need to call anyone "sir" anymore, even if the other person is the 8th Ring Huiyue Arcane Master.
"For the research and development of Lingxi projection technology, the theory you published before is too rough. We are currently comparing the arcane projection technology, hoping to be compatible with Lingxi projection technology, so that there will be no need to build separate Lingxi projection rooms in various places." "
I I agree with this plan." Duke nodded.
"Take a look at these materials. Later, you can prepare an experimental group in Cuihai City to do some work of checking for omissions and filling in the gaps." Zidele Xingling said, glanced at Duke, and continued, "I don't mean to The reason why you are deprived of your power is because you can only be present for half an hour every day."
Duke was helpless, but he could only accept: "I understand, Sir Zidele, you can just let go and do whatever you want, I will just follow and learn."
In reality. He has a very stable mentality.
He invented the Ring of Consonance, and the subsequent patchwork work, no matter how outstanding others did it, only added brilliance to his Ring of Consonance.
Therefore, don’t worry too much about whether it leads the research and development of Lingxi projection technology.
It is even more important to preside over a project that promotes the development of spiritual arcana for the first time, to learn from the experience and gradually adapt to the identity of a prophet.
Zidele Xingling was satisfied with Duke's statement.
In the next half hour, he took the lead, arranged various tasks in an orderly manner, and made the entire laboratory run at high speed.
Duke was watching and learning along the way.
Unfortunately, Xiaoyi could not follow the clone, so his learning efficiency was not that high. He could only try to memorize more content.
After returning to his true form, he will give the contents of his memory to Xiaoyi to summarize and organize.
"By the way, I should improve the Arcane Weapon Eye and add a storage function to the Arcane Weapon Eye, so that I can use the Arcane Weapon Eye to provide Xiaoyi with all the information observed by the clone." An inspiration flashed in his mind. , remember silently.
Half an hour flew by.
Saying goodbye to Zidele Wake up, Duke's clone phantom shattered into dots of fluorescent light, ending his prophetic work for the day.
Working for half an hour every day feels like fishing.
"It's a little regretful that Duke's Star cannot be projected into the shadow of the clone. Like Xiaoyi and Shaying, although they revolve around my spiritual core, their underlying logic is different and they cannot use the copy ring to achieve projection."
Even It can be said that they are beings that are higher than the real spiritual sea.
Xiaoyi and Shaying are the fusion of the rules of the earth and the rules of the wild world, and Duke's Star is a gift from the goddess Nyx. It may be the creation of the previous civilization, but nature conflicts with the true spiritual sea formed by this civilization. .
Without Duke's Star, the clone phantom would naturally not be able to use its own starry sky, and would be unable to teleport items over long distances.
"If the clone phantom can also use the exclusive starry sky, tsk tsk... In the entire Seven Towers Federation, there is absolutely no one more suitable for delivering express delivery than me."
Tell yourself a cold joke to comfort yourself.
Duke quickly adjusted his mentality and began to prepare a new research and development team for telescope projection technology at Duke's Sage Mage Tower.
The purpose is of course not to compete with the research group chaired by Zidele Xingxing, but just to verify the technology developed there and to check and fill in the gaps.
"Teacher, how are you doing now? I plan to let you serve as the deputy leader of the group and help me manage the daily work of the group." Duke first found his teacher.
Suktara hesitated: "I have a hunch that during this period, I may have a breakthrough in my practice."
"Really!" Duke was overjoyed, "Then teacher, please look for opportunities quickly and don't worry about it anymore. , I will let Boris take charge of the R&D team."
Boris Black Jade has come to work in the Mage Tower. As a third-level arcane mage, Duke directly awarded him the title of professor.
Hearing that Duke asked him to take charge of the R&D team, Boris, who looked even older than Bernoulli, saluted Duke directly: "Thank you, Lord Prophet, for your respect for Lao Chen. I will definitely take good care of the R&D team seriously and responsibly!" He
said very clear.
The significance of the Ring of Consonance to the 3rd level arcane mage, and by working under the Prophet, he would be able to get the latest technology of the Ring of Consonance first.
Then help him clear away the fog of spiritual arcane magic and peer into the realm of the great arcane mage.
He is already very old. As the eldest son of Bernoulli, he is not much younger than Bernoulli. He is about to reach the end of his life as a third-level arcane mage.
If we don't seize this last chance, we may end up in the grave.
Duke personally served as the team leader, Boris Black Jade served as the deputy team leader, and associate professor Leo Weiss also served as the deputy team leader. Several 2nd-level arcane mages and 1st-level arcane mages in the tower were all crammed in, one after another in a hurry The shabby R&D team was established just like that.
Every day Duke would go to Zidele Xingling's Crystal Palace to memorize as much experimental data as possible, and then after Xiaoyi summarized it, he would hand it over to his research and development team.
Try to reproduce it and perform some whimsical experiments according to Duke's ideas.
A flash.
The time has come for February.
"Congratulations to the owner, for successfully building the Arcane Wonder of Elemental Armor, completing the linkage of Elemental Armor-Elemental Shield-Arcane Shield Wonder, and constructing a 3-ring combination arcane-energy armor. Instantaneous elemental armor, no dead ends in defense, the owner is safe Great improvement."
Xiaoyi congratulated Duke in a cheerful tone.
Standing in the snow on the top of the tower, Duke had a flash of thought and instantly activated the 3-ring combination arcana - Yuaneng Armor, a set of close-fitting plain white defensive covers that covered his body from head to toe like armor. Really wrapped up.
Condensing the 1st level arcane spell - Water Mirror, Duke calmly admired his new image.
The plain white defensive cover fit tightly on the clothes. As he moved, the defensive cover also moved.
It looks like the whole person is coated with a layer of white light.
And with the guidance of his thoughts, the 3-ring combined arcane-primordial armor will also undergo an elemental state transition. When it jumps to the water element, the elemental armor will turn into light blue. When it jumps to the fire element, the elemental armor will become light blue. Into crimson.
Earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, light, and darkness are the seven basic element states, and there are seven different colors.
"It's pretty cool." Duke was very satisfied with the appearance of the Yuan Neng Armor. Then he made a move in the air with his right hand and condensed a silver-gray Desert Eagle pistol.
Aim at the outer edge of Yuan Neng Armor and pull the trigger directly.
puff!
There was an undetectable gunshot, and the surface of the Yuan Neng armor stirred, but it was not damaged. The power of the sand eagle 2.2 large-caliber version of the bullet could already kill six-ring spirit beasts, threatening the Great Arcane Mage, but it did not penetrate Yuan Neng with one shot. Can be armored.
After thinking about it, Duke pointed directly at his palm and fired again.
puff!
The surface of the Yuan Neng Armor stirred again, and the palms were intact. This shot did not cause any damage to the Yuan Neng Armor.
"Okay, the defense is very strong!" Being able to block the Sand Eagle's blow is basically equivalent to being able to block the charged blow of the 3rd level Arcane Mage.
But soon Duke began to switch to burst mode again, aiming at the outer edge of the Yuan Neng armor and firing. After ten consecutive bullets, the Yuan Neng armor finally shattered.
However, the elemental armor is an instant arcane spell. In the gap that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, a new set of elemental armor has been re-condensed and continues to fight against Sand Eagle's bullets.
A magazine of sixty bullets was used up, but it could not break through the defense of Yuan Neng Armor.
"Instant arcane spells are indeed powerful, especially with the linkage of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-level wonders. The 3rd-level arcane-energy armor combination is comparable to the 4th-level arcane defense." Duke thought to himself. , "But my Sand Eagle is working on the 2.3 bullet chain version, and it will be difficult to predict Yuan Neng Armor by then." Then
he began to experiment with special effect bullets to see the threat to Yuan Neng Armor. After repeated experiments, he came to a conclusion.
Special Effect Bullets - In the physical version, armor-piercing bullets can rely on instant firing to break through the defense of energy armor.
Special effect bullets - In the elemental version, laser bullets can also rely on instantaneous firing to break through the defense of Yuan Neng armor - laser bullets can break down arcane spells and are extremely effective against Yuan Neng armor.
"Generally speaking, I am still invincible among arcane mages of the same level." Duke smiled slightly and then murmured with a hint of regret, "But the second-level sand eagle is indeed a bit of a hindrance. If it is upgraded to the third-level Sha Ying, I should be able to leapfrog the level and fight against the Great Ao Mage!"
In the final analysis, he practiced too quickly and his foundation was not solid enough.
The speed of personal cultivation has already pushed down the second-level Sha Ying, causing Sha Ying, who should have been his biggest support, to be held back.
"Fortunately, time can make up for it. My cultivation speed cannot be so fast in every level. Sooner or later, the sand eagle in the second level will catch up." Please
