Chapter 288: The new life
level 4, the Arcane Mage of the Earth, is the first node on the path of the Arcane Mage’s cultivation after clearing the fog of spiritual arcane magic.
"Standing on this land, all spiritual beings will obey your orders." This is the record of the Earth Arcane Mage's apt understanding of his own power.
This is the transformation of the level of life.
If the ordinary arcane mage was unable to control spirituality before, then after being promoted to the great arcane mage, he will be like a fish in water.
"Teacher, how do you feel now?" Duke looked at Suktara with burning eyes.
Suktara, who has successfully advanced to the fourth level, has not changed much in appearance. She still has silver hair and a rosy face.
It's still the same as before.
It's just that the temperament is completely different. Standing in the same place at this moment, there is a sharp aura of spiritual particles that is constantly escaping to the outside world.
Even a third-level arcane mage like Duke can feel the oppression of this spiritual particle aura.
It is not as terrifying as the aura of the arcane teachers, but the spiritual particle aura is more direct. One is oppression on the spiritual level, and the other is oppression on the physical level.
"Sorry, kid, the teacher has just been promoted and cannot fully control the spiritual power of transformation." Suktara said apologetically.
Duke smiled and replied: "It's okay, it's just a little awkward."
Suktala was promoted to the fourth level of the Arcane Mage. He was extremely happy, not only because he had an additional Arcane Mage to help him, but also because Suktala I can live another thirty years.
The theoretical lifespan of a 3rd level arcane mage is 180 years, and the theoretical lifespan of a 4th level earth arcane mage is 210 years.
Thirty years of longevity!
Duke has no relatives in this world, his soul has no relatives, and this body has no relatives either. Therefore, the people he meets after traveling through time travel are relatives in his mind, and Suktara is one of his closest relatives.
"Teacher, you have just been promoted, do you need to take a break first?" It was not Duke who spoke, but Assistant Professor Terrence.
Duke has accomplished far more than Suktara without teaching.
So when Suktara had a premonition that she was about to be promoted and could live for a few more decades, she simply accepted Terrence as a student and taught him alchemy knowledge seriously.
"It's not a hurry." Suktara shook his head with a smile, "I have to tell Duke the detailed feelings about my promotion while my memory is still clear... The teacher was a step faster, but soon It will be Duke's turn to clear up the fog of spiritual arcana."
Duke laughed and said, "I'm really not in a hurry. I have been promoted to the third level in just a few years. My foundation is really unstable. Most of them are still unused."
Unfortunately, whether it is building arcane wonders or casting arcane weapons, work must be done slowly and carefully, and it takes a lot of time to carve.
Not at all fast.
Otherwise, with Xiaoyi's computing power, all slots can be filled in minutes.
When Terrence heard this, he suddenly wanted to say something. He thought that there were only two slots in one ring, so why would it be difficult to fill them up?
But of course he would not question Duke like this. Now Duke is already the top figure in the Seven Towers Federation's power.
prophet!
If the ceiling of an arcanist is the stars, then the ceiling of an arcane scholar is the prophet.
So he considered the words over and over in his mind, and then asked in a slightly curious tone: "Sir, may I ask, how many slots do you have left?"
Terrence is an old acquaintance, Duke replied nonchalantly. Said: "The four slots of the first ring track are full, there are three slots of the fifth ring of the second ring track left, and there are five left of the six slots of the third ring track. The time is too short, and it is really too busy."
" Huh?" Terrence was stunned, "Does the first ring of orbit have four slots?"
Duke asked casually: "How many slots do you have?"
"Um... two." Terrence lowered his head. , didn’t really want to talk, he was obviously humiliating himself, and the person opposite him was a prophet.
The Prophet's first orbit has four slots. Isn't this a matter of course?
"Actually, two are enough." Duke comforted him very understandingly, "One defensive arcana and one offensive arcana, which will be promoted to 2nd and 3rd levels later to form a wonder linkage combination arcana, which can be used to attack or defend, or Very appropriate."
Then he grinned again: "Unlike me, there are too many slots, I am too busy, and I am very tired."
Terrence was speechless.
Suktara smiled and said, "Duke, please stop teasing Terrence... Terrence, go ahead and do your work. I'm going to explain to Duke how it feels to be promoted." "
Yes, teacher." Tai Lens stood up to leave, not wanting to stay here any longer.
Then Suktara explained a series of feelings when he was promoted, which sounded to Duke's ears as if he was speaking from heaven.
Clearing the fog of spiritual arcana is a profound and mysterious experience. It is difficult to describe it in words. I can only roughly describe my own feelings, mainly relying on my mind.
"If my feelings about spirituality were erratic and unsteady before, then the moment I cleared away the fog of spiritual arcane magic, I suddenly felt down to earth... No wonder the ancestors defined the fourth ring as the arcane earth mage. This This down-to-earth feeling is so appropriate."
Suktara sighed with emotion.
Duke raised doubts from time to time: "To clear the fog of spiritual arcana, should we clear it all at once, and then suddenly become enlightened, or should we open it bit by bit, and gradually become enlightened?" "It is clearing it all at once,
but there were many transitions before it. The realization is like a kind of foreshadowing. From the body to the psychology, the foreshadowing is done comprehensively, and then, as you said, it suddenly becomes clear." "Teacher, look back and see what kind of
existence the fog of spiritual arcana is. ?"
"It's hard to say... maybe it's a cognitive level." Suktara tried his best to recall, and continued after a while, "Just like the primary school attached to the Master Tower now, teaching to the children there, they I don’t understand the meaning of those formulas at all, I’m just memorizing them by rote.”
After a pause, she continued: “But students in middle schools, after learning to derive, will be able to accurately understand what these formulas mean.”
After that, She asked Duke: "Do you understand?"
Duke nodded: "I generally understand."
He thought of parents tutoring their children on earth, and it was a very simple question, but the children couldn't understand it.
No matter how many times I say it, the child just doesn’t know how to do it, and it can make the parents so angry that they want to jump off the building.
The child's cognition and the parent's cognition may be equivalent to the cognitive gap between ordinary arcane mages and great arcane mages. It is not an IQ defect, but an inability to reach the cognitive level - many parents may look back at primary school textbooks and they may also I sigh, why didn’t I know how to do it when I was a child?
"Do you really understand?" Suktara asked worriedly.
"Yeah." Duke nodded seriously and responded, "This is a gap at the cognitive level. If you know it, you know it, and if you don't, you don't know it. Either you can slowly accumulate to improve your cognitive level, or you need an epiphany to directly transcend cognition. levels."
Suktara nodded happily: "It seems you really understand."
"I do understand, but... there is not much difference between seeming and not understanding. You still have to experience the fog of spiritual arcana for yourself." "
Yes, even those great nobles have rich knowledge inheritance, and their descendants will still be confused. Blocked by the fog of spiritual arcana, this cannot be changed by inheritance." Suktara cleared it away by himself, thus gaining a deeper understanding.
She then continued: "But your Ring of Consonance is being studied in depth. Perhaps it can help the arcane mages trapped in the third ring to find a shortcut to clear the fog of spiritual arcana... If so, the Ring of Consonance The greatness is no less great than the Ring of Projection."
The Great Arcana Mage and the Ordinary Arcana Mage are two classes.
There are nearly twenty level 3 arcane mages in the entire Black Dragon River area. If only half of them can break through to the level 4 arcane mages with the help of the Ring of Consonance.
In the future, the pattern of arcane mages will undergo huge changes.
The speed of human conquest of the forest will also be greatly increased. After all, the combat power of a great arcane mage can almost overwhelm most of the spiritual beasts under the sub-dragon.
"The Ring of Consonance's experiments on clearing up the spiritual arcana are in charge of the two prophets Panges Libra and Dogus. I won't worry about it." Duke is very self-aware. He has not even touched the fog of spiritual arcana. So, how can we study shortcuts?
certainly.
This does not prevent him from frequently activating the clone phantom and going to Pangasi Libra's Crystal Palace to learn about the experimental progress of the shortcut.
Only by increasing your knowledge can you improve your understanding of spiritual mysteries and speed up your practice.
...
Suktara was promoted to the fourth level of Arcane Earth Mage. The celebration banquet was held in Lingya Mountain Castle and lasted for nearly a week.
She knows too many people. As an alchemist who is good at forging arcane weapons, she has clients throughout the Wind Breath realm.
In addition to the arcane mages who have good personal relationships, many arcane mages who have a close relationship also go to the Duke Sage Mage Tower under the banner of celebration. I look forward to meeting Duke and forming a good relationship with the youngest prophet in the history of the Seven Towers Federation.
After the banquet.
Christian Raging Waves convened a meeting of the Ten Towers in the Black Dragon River to discuss how to arrange Suktara's position. After all, Master Da'ao holds the vote to expand the meeting and is a member of the decision-making team of the Seven Towers Federation.
However, Suktala does not intend to take up the post: "I have decided to stay in Duke's Sage Mage Tower, manage this Mage Tower for Duke, and also see what the Mage Tower can do under the new system. Such a future."
"Since the old lady is not willing to take up the post, then the chiefs of the five towers in Shenjiao City and Cuihai City will not be adjusted for the time being." Christian Nutao did not force it, but he was in a good mood. The local forces Add another general.
Then he said: "But the old lady must have a seat in the Ten Towers meeting."
No one had any objection to this point, and Suktara herself did not refuse. Anyway, she had made up her mind, and she would follow Du's vote. OK.
Whatever Duke chooses, she chooses.
Suktara knew very well that his promotion to the Great Arcane Mage was not due to his talent or so-called spiritual guidance.
It all started at Duke.
So she simply said: "If the old woman doesn't want to move or come to the Ten Towers meeting, Duke will vote on my behalf."
Of course.
The Ten Towers Meeting is held very rarely, and so far this year, the first Ten Towers Meeting has only been held because Suktara was promoted to the Grand Master.
Normally, Shenjiao City manages Shenjiao City, and Cuihai City manages Cuihai City. They are separated and do not interfere with each other.
The sun reaches its zenith.
The hottest summer of the year begins.
More and more arcane mages are making pilgrimages to Lingya Mountain in Cuihai City.
Because of Duke's reputation as a prophet, the number of ordinary people who traveled thousands of miles to follow the mercenary group gradually increased.
People believe that spirituality guides everything.
Prophet Duke is the most beloved arcane mage in the Seven Towers Federation, so moving to Cuihai City is definitely not a mistake.
"In the past few months, more and more outsiders have come to Cuihai City, and more and more people have decided to stay and settle down." Hamdi Snow Eagle reported to Duke on the recent resettlement work, " Public security is getting worse, especially with the influx of many mercenary groups."
"Didn't our rules be shown to these mercenary groups?" "We
were shown, but they were all a group of ruffians licking blood from their knives, killing people and setting fires. I don’t want to do it, but thefts, fights, and extortion have been banned repeatedly. By the way, there was a fatal group fight at No. 3 West Post yesterday.” Cuihai City was newly built. In order to ensure that the suburbs are not invaded by spiritual beasts, the surrounding areas
are Many outposts were established, manned by both knights and mercenary groups.
"What caused it?" Duke asked while looking at the "Seven Towers Daily" to provide Xiaoyi with today's news.
"It is said that the Cavaliers extorted money from the mercenary group, and the mercenary group was dissatisfied, which led to group fights." "The Cavaliers
blackmailed?"
"This kind of thing is difficult to prevent, because many of the knights in the organization are mercenaries and have very good conduct. That's bad." Hamdi Snow Eagle sighed, "No need, the gap in the Cavaliers is too big, and they can't manage so many places." Another
United Tower Governor, Freul, echoed: "This is still a problem. There is definite evidence, and even more without definite evidence. If public security continues to deteriorate, it will seriously affect your immigration plan." "
What good ideas do you have?"
"Strengthen cross patrols to ensure monitoring and increase punishment. To shock the younger generation," Hamdi said.
Fluor also said: "Another reward and whistleblower program should be added."
"All of these can be done, but in the end, it is still a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. If you want to completely eliminate crime and improve public security, you need Skynet!" Duke put down the newspaper and looked at it. It was as if I had crossed the time and space barrier of hundreds of millions of light years and returned to my hometown on Earth.
"Skynet?" Hamdi Snow Eagle and Fluor looked at each other, neither of them knowing why.
"An invention that needs urgent research. You don't need to worry about it for the time being. Just implement it according to your plan. Please pay attention." "
Yes, sir!"
After Hamdi Snow Eagle and Fluor left, Duke said Thinking about the research and development of Skynet.
"If you want to develop the Skynet surveillance system, you must at least develop the network, and the premise of the network is communication." He touched his chin, "I won't worry about the in-depth research on the Ring of Consonance. I will delve into the light first. Communication technology!"
He glanced out the window, overlooking a building in the inner city.
That is the new headquarters built by the Giant of Light. It is called the Giant Building of Light. Many people are accustomed to calling it the Giant Building for short.
Duke always felt that the name Giant Building was a bit unlucky.
At this moment, on the wall of the Giant Building, an advertisement for a new product is being played repeatedly on the large screen that has been installed.
The advertisement is endorsed by several popular celebrity actors at the moment.
These celebrity actors are all affiliated with DreamWorks Pictures, so they were given discounted endorsement fees to endorse Giant of Light products.
"The Giant of Light, maybe somewhere, spirituality has already understood everything." Duke sighed, "But for optical communication technology, I will not place it in the Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company, and set up another company to monopolize it. Optical communication industry."
He is already a prophet and the master of this country.
In fact, it doesn't make much difference whether he makes money or not. As long as he wants, as a prophet, he can mobilize too many resources of the Seven Towers Federation.
Including using the resources of the Seven Towers Federation to build a mage tower for oneself, such as a crystal palace, a floating city, or a dungeon. There are indeed prophets who have applied for resources from the Seven Towers Federation to build their own mage towers, especially prophets who are not from the stars. .
The stars are powerful, and many materials can be obtained by oneself, especially top-level materials such as hunting dragons.
Prophets who are not from the stars cannot hunt Yalongs or obtain top-notch materials, so they can only apply to the Seven Towers Federation.
But Duke didn't plan to apply.
The Duke Sage Mage Tower is enough for him. He just wants to make money first, and when he has enough money, he can spend it however he wants.
"No matter what we have, let's talk about the research and development of optical communication technology first!" Duke put aside many distracting thoughts and quickly communicated with Xiaoyi, "Plan the optical communication experimental process, establish the optical communication data model, and squeeze out at least 25% of the power for research and development. ."
"Okay master, everything has been prepared for you." Xiaoyi responded quickly.
At this point, Duke was fully committed to his next study.
...
"Jiang Wanda, Jiang Teluo, finish your meal quickly and go back to your room to pack your luggage." The mother knocked the sleepy siblings with a dining spoon, "When your father comes back, we have to set off with the group. , whoever is left behind will never see his parents again!"
Jiang Wanda, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, heard this and asked curiously: "Mom, do we really want to go to Cuihai City?" "
I don't want to go. , I don’t like Cuihai City.” His younger brother Jiang Teluo is still a naughty kid, “I want to play with Jessica and Mags!” “I only know how to play
all day long, and I don’t teach you how to read. When you grow up, You're useless!" Mother stabbed Jiang Teluo in the head with her finger, "When you get to Cuihai City, I'll send you to that elementary school and let the teacher take care of you!" "I don't want it
. !" Jiang Teluo snorted.
He didn't look forward to the distant Cuihai City that his parents talked about every day. He just wanted to stay in his hometown and have fun with his friends.
There was a trace of longing in Jiang Wanda's eyes: "After we go to Cuihai City and we go to school, can I also become an arcane mage?" "There is
hope." Mother said with a smile.
Before dawn, the mother and son finished their breakfast, and then began to pack up their belongings in a hurry. There were only three cramped bungalows, and there were not many things that needed to be taken away.
When the morning light shone into the alley outside the door, the air began to become hot.
The sound of horse hooves came, and my mother immediately walked quickly to the door, and then showed a happy smile, it was my father who was back.
"Django!"
"Natalie." Django got off the horse. He was dressed as a knight and walked in a hurry. "Are the children full? Have the luggage been packed? I have already packed the carriage. Hire them, move the things up, and we'll set off right away."
The carriage is at the entrance of the alley.
The actions of Jiang Ge's family soon alerted the neighbors, who came out to visit them one after another.
"Django, Natalie, where are you going?"
"Ah, to Cuihai City."
"We really want to go to Cuihai City. It is a very far away place. I heard it will take several months to go. distance!” The neighbor was astonished.
"Try our luck. If the conditions there are good, we will stay there. If the conditions are not good, we will come back." Jiang Ge said calmly. He is just an ordinary 0-ring knight, so he can stay in the town. Be a coolie.
So after hearing the immigration promotion in Cuihai City, I was immediately moved and took action.
The neighbor said worriedly: "It's so far on the road, what should we do if we encounter danger? Django, Natalie, you are taking too many risks!"
Natalie was also a little worried.
Jiang Ge said: "We followed the convoy of the Arrow Mercenary Group and signed a contract. The Arrow Mercenary Group will protect us, and Cuihai City will provide round-trip expenses... I believe that Duke Prophet will protect us!"
"I'm not going, I'm not going, I don't want to go to Cuihai City!" Jiang Teluo suddenly started crying, sat down on the ground and rolled around.
Django glanced at Natalie, who immediately picked up Django and stuffed him into the carriage bed.
Jiang Wanda waved to the house: "Pippi, come here quickly!"
Then a tall wolf dog jumped out of the house and jumped into Jiang Wanda's arms. This was Jiang Ge's contracted spirit beast.
It is the 1st ring spirit beast - Wind Blade Gray Wolf.
Although it is said to be a wolf, it is actually more like a dog. It is humane and easy to tame. However, this wind blade gray wolf has not reached level 1 yet, and may not even reach level 1 in its lifetime - because its contract partner, Django, is a gifted person. A poor 0-ring knight.
The luggage was loaded onto the carriage, and the family and spirit animals also got in.
Jiang Ge took one look at the dilapidated bungalow, locked the door decisively, then turned over and mounted his horse, waving to the neighbors.
"Be careful on the road."
"Have a nice trip!"
The neighbors are all ordinary people who have lived together for decades. It is inevitable that they are reluctant to leave, and some even have red eyes.
Natalie kept waving her hands, tears streaming down her face.
The one who cried more miserably than her was Jiang Teluo. He cried and called his friend's name and wanted to jump out of the carriage, but his sister Jiang Wanda held him tightly.
The carriage soon turned from the lane onto the main road.
Jiang Ge reined in his horse and turned around to look at the alley where he had lived for many years and the neighbors who followed him to the entrance of the alley.
I had mixed feelings in my heart for a while.
If he had not had no future in his hometown town and was still poor after so many years, he would never have decided to immigrate to Cuihai City, no matter how bright and bright the future described in the brochure was.
but.
Even though he himself has succumbed to fate, his children cannot. If they still stay in their hometown, they may follow his old path, and they may even be worse than him - if the Three Seas are not opened, Jiang Wanda and Jiang Teluo will live forever There is no hope.
Only go to Cuihai City, where the school reformed by Duke Prophet not only teaches the knowledge of the Three Seas, but also teaches various professional life skills.
Even if children cannot start Sanhai, they can still learn a skill and find a good job.
"Prophet Duke will not lie to us!" Jiang Ge turned back, hit the horse's belly with both feet, and quickly followed the carriage in front, constantly cheering himself up, "If you go to Cuihai City, there must be a good life waiting for you. Ahead!"
Woohoo!
In a blink of an eye, Django and his family moved from the carriage to the Black Beetle at the station outside the town.
The car was already full of passengers with their families in tow. They were all in a similar situation to Django. Following the mercenaries' arrangements, the family crowded into a small area.
"Push in, squeeze in!" A fierce-looking mercenary shouted loudly, "Push in, don't you hear me? You have one more leg than others, right? Half a seat is not enough. Want to take a full seat? Mr. Duke is kind-hearted and gives you a free ride. It’s not for you to travel and enjoy!"
When the Black Beetle was filled with people, it slowly drove out of the station with the sound of the whistle.
Black smoke billowed from the front of the car.
Someone started crying quietly, and then more and more people began to wipe away tears. The atmosphere was not filled with the excitement of going to a new city, but only the sadness of leaving home.
"Why are you crying!" A mercenary yelled, "I'm crying for your uncle!"
Of course, not every mercenary is unqualified. One of the female mercenaries said to everyone in a gentle voice: "Everyone, be happy. Cuihai City is the hometown of Prophet Duke. Prophet Duke has arranged everything for you. A better life is coming!" Woo woo woo
!
Along the way, over mountains and rivers, the Black Beetles rolled over one after another.
After a long journey that lasted more than two months, I finally arrived at a new city with twinkling lights on a sultry evening.
"Ahem..." Natalie leaned on her husband's arms and coughed weakly, "Django, we... ahem...are we there?"
Jiang Ge clenched his fists: "We're here, we're in Cuihai City. !"
