Chapter 290 Getting on the train to Cuihai
Theia Yingzhu did not stay overnight in Cuihai City. After walking around Cuihai City, she said goodbye to her great-granddaughter.
Then he took his own battleship, left Cuihai City, and returned to the Holy City of Offa.
Sixteen-year-old Winona Yingzhu, with red eyes, stared at the battleship taking off. It was the first time she left home, and it was such a distant Cuihai City, which made her feel what it meant to be lonely.
"Ibuprofen, you need to take more Winona with you." After Duke returned to the mage tower, he called his student Ibuprofen over. "Winona came from other places. She is still young and has spiritual arcana. You can help me with my class."
Duke doesn't need to worry about Winona's life.
The reason is very simple. Theia Yingzhu left a team of escort knights for Winona. The captain Triss is a female third-level advanced fantasy beast knight.
Third-level high-level fantasy beast knights are already rare, and the great nobles are even more eager to recruit third-level high-level fantasy beast knights, not to mention that she is a woman. This shows how much Theia Yingzhu spent to protect her great-granddaughter.
In addition, there are two second-level fantasy beast knights in her guard knight team.
Even Duke is envious of this. As the prophet of the Seven Towers Federation, among the guard knights, only Captain Herdos is a 2nd level phantom beast knight - Vivian is also a 2nd level phantom beast knight, but she has long been Break away from the escort knights.
certainly.
If Duke wanted to recruit a third-level high-level fantasy beast knight as a bodyguard, there would definitely be many people willing to sign up and work for a prophet. It wouldn't be too satisfying.
It's just that Duke doesn't have high demand for knights who serve as guard of honor.
He has no heirs and needs to be protected by the guard knights when he grows up, so there is no need to waste a lot of money to recruit third-level high-level fantasy beast knights.
"Besides, when I research the Blood Spirit Formation and Blood Spirit Crystal, I'm afraid I will be able to mass-produce Phantom Beast Knights and Advanced Phantom Beast Knights myself." Duke touched his smooth chin, which he had just shaved today, "By then, , Dragon Knights may not be difficult to cultivate."
Blood Spirit Crystal has a very strong effect on spirit beasts, and Kabuto relied on Blood Spirit Crystal to evolve into a 2-ring fantasy beast.
As long as there are enough blood spirit crystals, fantasy beasts are no longer a dream, and as the base of fantasy beasts increases, the probability of high-level fantasy beasts and dragon beasts will naturally increase.
"Don't worry, tutor, I will take good care of Winona." Ibuprofen responded obediently.
She didn't know Winona Yingzhu's identity yet, and Duke didn't plan to tell more people. Only he and his teacher Suktara knew.
Otherwise, for a granddaughter of the stars, countless people in the mage tower would try their best to curry favor with Winona.
Even, some thoughts should not be had.
"Do you also have some ideas?"
At night, Kirya came by airship from Suktara Mage Tower, met Winona, and then lay in Duke's arms, asked.
Duke raised his eyebrows: "She is only sixteen years old."
"She is only sixteen now, and she will grow up in a few years." There was a slight sourness in Kylia's tone, "And even if she is only ten At six years old, her face is still very beautiful. When her figure grows, she will definitely be prettier than me."
"Not as beautiful as you," Duke said.
"A sixteen-year-old Arcane Mage is the same age as when you were promoted to Arcane Mage. Will she become the next Duke Prophet?" Kiriya smiled and changed the subject.
She was a little jealous, but she didn't want to dwell on it anymore. She knew very well that she couldn't catch Duke alone.
It's not just because of Duke's character, he is naturally free and uninhibited and difficult to be restrained. Or because of Duke's status as a prophet, there are destined to be countless people who want to use various means to win over him. Even her own grandfather had been wooing Duke from the beginning.
She still didn't know the identity of Winona Yingzhu, but when she heard that she was from the Holy City of Aufa, she guessed that she must be a descendant of a certain star.
Sneaking a beautiful junior to Duke.
What is the purpose of this? Kiriya felt that she could guess the reason with her eyes closed and her delicate toes thinking.
"Duke is the only prophet." Duke smoothed Kylia's blond wavy hair, "If I want to achieve my achievements, I feel that not only will I never see the ancients before, but I will also never see the newcomers... Don't say that. Winona is only a sixteen-year-old Arcane Mage, even if she is fifteen, it won't be anything."
He has Xiaoyi and has the knowledge of the earth, how can others compare with him.
In the records of the Seven Towers Federation, there is a peerless genius who directly understood the secret of the ring on the first day he opened the spiritual sea and was promoted to an arcane mage.
But the result only stopped at the Great Ao Mage.
There are many geniuses with such quick starts, but the spiritual arcane method pays more attention to accumulation and accumulation. Fast practice does not determine the future. This is why when Duke was promoted at the age of sixteen, he was called a genius, but many people still looked down upon him.
Until now.
Duke has proven his edge step by step, so he is widely expected to have high hopes, and it is recognized that sooner or later he can become a member of the stars.
Winona, a sixteen-year-old arcane mage, still needs to continue to prove herself in the future.
Kiliya was convinced: "Yes, you are unique."
In the entire history of mankind, Duke's genius has been unparalleled. Even the saints in the Temple of Heroes are not as good as Du. Gram's achievements.
In fact, Duke is only one step away from these sages - death.
The ears and temples rubbed together, and they were in ecstasy all night.
The next day was October 15th. Duke saw off Kiriya after a tiring night and went to work in the Union Tower, where he nodded and read the newspaper.
Just as he was getting ready to get off work, the Erudite Supreme Tower sent an envoy from the Great Ao Mage to the Union Tower to bring him news.
"Congratulations to Lord Prophet, your telepathic projection technology has been awarded this year's Light of Learning Tower Award. The prizes and medals are already on their way... Sir Thelsus explained that there will be a review meeting of the Supreme Committee tomorrow, please come in Participate on time at nine o'clock."
Unsurprisingly, the Light of the Erudite Tower was awarded to Duke for the fifth time.
However, it is not the Lingxi Ring, but the Lingxi Projection Technology. Because the Lingxi Ring is not a Natural History technology, only the Lingxi Projection Technology is related to Natural History.
But strictly speaking, the relationship is not big. Granting the light of the Erudite Tower is a bit of a slap in the face.
"I know, I will participate on time." Duke nodded gently, no longer surprised at winning the prize.
Except for the fact that I didn't get the Light of the Tower of Knowledge last year because I was immersed in studying the ring replication materials.
In recent years, he has almost won all the Light of the Learned Tower awards.
There is no way around it. The technologies invented by Duke are becoming more and more great. You can rely on these skills to be selected into the Temple of Heroes after death, let alone the current Light of the Erudite Tower award. It cannot be given to anyone but him.
The next day, nine o'clock.
He cast the Ring of Consonance on time and quickly activated the clone shadow. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the large conference room of the Supreme Committee of the Erudite Tower.
"Duke is here, take a seat." Chairman Selsus nodded to Duke, and then Duke's clone went to his seat and sat down.
Going down Cersus, there is Madron Rhodiola on the left and Duke on the right.
Further down, there are the learned sages, whose status is obviously lower than that of the three prophets, and they sit further away.
"Ahem." Selsus looked around the crowd and coughed lightly, "Today's meeting is to discuss a latest technological invention..." The Supreme Review
Committee of the Erudite Tower is responsible for reviewing all major technologies reported across the country. .
Duke is a prophet in the field of erudition, and can use the ring of consonance to clone himself into meetings. Naturally, he was pulled into the Supreme Committee by Selsus, and together with the erudite sages, he reviewed the latest technical inventions of natural history and promoted the study of natural history. learning development.
After Selsus finished talking about the new technology, he motioned to his assistant to distribute the technical patent papers one by one.
Duke opened the file. He didn't look through the file in a hurry, but a trance flashed through his mind, and for a moment he couldn't tell where he was.
For a while it was Cuihai City, and for a while it was the Holy City of Arcane.
Since the copy ring was sent to the Holy City of Arcana, it has not been able to be sent back. It is really a brick of spiritual arcana, and it can be moved wherever it is needed.
after all.
He is only a 3rd level arcane mage.
Even though the Lingxi projection technology has now been solved, he can freely use the Lingxi projection technology to condense Lingxi projection clones. But the clone condensed by Lingxi projection technology lasts too short, only five minutes.
The clones condensed by the previous great arcane mages using arcane projection technology also lasted only a few minutes.
Moreover, the more times the projection is transferred, the more blurry the mimetic ring structure will be, and the shorter the duration of the clone will be.
Therefore, meetings cannot be held with the help of Lingxi projection technology and Arcane projection technology.
In order to be able to hold meetings normally, he could only store his only replica ring in the Holy City of Offa, and have it sent to the conference room in advance when a meeting was needed.
certainly.
This is also the standard operation of great arcane mages and even arcane mentors.
The only difference is that the projection ring can start from the 4th ring, and each ring casts a copy ring, so that these arcane mages and arcane teachers have many copy rings, and then have many clones, everywhere.
Now that the Ring of Consonance is born, the projection standard has been lowered to 3 rings.
Arcane mages and arcane mentors can use this technology to cast an additional replica ring and add a new clone.
It’s more comfortable to go to meetings across the federation.
"Forget it, it's just a temporary inconvenience. When I am promoted to Grand Master, I will have many projection clones sooner or later." He
shook his head and threw away the complicated thoughts.
He began to carefully open the document in his hand. This was a new invention about shuttle load-carrying technology. With the help of a certain new technology upgrade in the field of puppets, the existing shuttle could nearly double its original load-carrying capacity.
This enables the shuttle’s cargo transport function.
"The shuttle is fast, and if the load capacity can be increased, it is indeed a powerful supplement to freight." A learned sage immediately praised, "I think this shuttle carrying technology deserves recognition and promotion, Erudite Tower It should be arranged as soon as possible."
"Not necessarily. The shuttle is too expensive. Although it is fast, it is difficult to make back the cost by transporting goods, and the social choices are not wide." Another learned sage held a different opinion.
Then the learned sages expressed their opinions one after another.
Everyone agrees that this is a good technology.
However, as for the promotion of shuttle cargo transportation, some learned sages supported it, some learned sages opposed it, and some, like Duke, did not express their opinions on this.
"Prophet Duke, what do you think?" Celsus asked Duke by name.
Duke said in a deep voice: "I think it is unrealistic to promote shuttle transportation. In my personal opinion, no one can afford the high cost of a shuttle, whether it is a company transporting goods or an individual. , the transportation efficiency is not as good as an airship, at least the airship is big enough."
As soon as he spoke, the learned sages all fell into thinking.
Duke then said slowly: "Actually, I have an idea, which may have good promotion value for the existing transportation." "
Oh, please tell me." Selsus said immediately.
“Have you seen the rail buses running in the city? We can improve them by laying tracks between two cities or market towns, and then extend the buses and put them together section by section, just like the Black Centipede bus. Same..."
Duke's idea was not very creative, he just simply copied the train on Earth.
The projected version of the Arcane Hand appeared, and he used it to simulate the structure of a train and rails, forming a circle around his desk.
"I have calculated that this kind of rail train has a huge transportation capacity that cannot be matched by any existing means of transportation; secondly, it runs fast, at least much faster than the Black Beetle and Black Centipede; and thirdly, the transportation cost is low. , Low energy consumption..."
All the erudite sages were attracted by the train that Duke used the arcane hand to simulate.
Duke continued: "Of course, the shortcomings of rail trains are also obvious. The cost of building rails is very high and must be dominated by five towers; the rails will pass through no-man's land and are easily damaged by spiritual beasts, so the material must be highly resistant; and it must be flexible. I also have bad temperament and can only run on the prescribed track."
The learned and sages here are all very knowledgeable.
Looking at Duke's simulated train model, I can immediately distinguish in my mind the advantages and disadvantages of rail train transportation.
The first one to speak was Linton Treehopper. His eyes shone and he said: "I think Duke Sage's idea is more reliable than the airship's load-carrying technology. With the help of the track laid in advance, it can effectively reduce energy consumption and increase power... The only drawback is probably whether the spiritual beasts will destroy the track." "It
may be a little dangerous in the border areas, but if it is placed in a mature area, such as Whale Song Mirror Lake, connecting the eighteen surrounding cities, there will be absolutely no Danger!" Another erudite sage exclaimed.
The area around Whale Song Mirror Lake has been fully developed by humans.
There are basically no threatening spiritual beasts, so the safety of the railway tracks will be effectively guaranteed.
"I also think rail trains are more promising than shuttles for carrying cargo."
"Second."
"It's enough to reward the shuttles for their new technology, and then send them to several shuttle production companies and let them do it themselves. Choice." A learned sage smiled and said, "We should now try out a rail train around Whale Song Mirror Lake."
Almost no one objected, and they all agreed with Duke's proposal.
Selsus also stroked his beard and laughed: "Prophet Duke, when will your patented technology for rail trains be registered?" "It's
just improved from rail buses, so let's register the patent in the name of the Erudite Tower. I'm too lazy to do it anymore." Duke smiled freely.
He no longer looked down upon such gizmos.
The erudite sage named Vesta smiled and said: "Prophet Duke, the rail train technology is very exciting. It is very promising to win the Light of the Erudite Tower award next year. You don't plan to win a few more." The Light of the Erudite Tower?"
"I took too much, give others a chance." Duke joked.
In six years, he had five.
It was indeed too much.
Now that he has been added as a prophet, he is no longer interested in small awards such as the Light of the Erudite Tower. It would be better if he got the Chapter of the Mist - in fact, the next Chapter of the Mist is already stable, and he can get the Ring of Branding and the Ring of Consonance. Of course you can take it.
Just kidding, after the review meeting of the Supreme Committee ended, Duke also reached the limit of the clone's shadow and quickly disintegrated and disappeared.
Return to reality.
He immediately took action and personally took the airship, starting from Cuihai City, passing through various market towns, and finally arrived at Shenjiao City.
All geographical environments along the route have been modeled by Xiaoyi, and the best railway construction route has been selected.
Holding this railway construction road map, he found Christian Fury: "Sir."
"Sir Duke, Prophet!" Christian quickly interrupted Duke, "Didn't we agree, I am certainly foolish. I'm hundreds of years old, but I don't dare to call you "Sir" anymore! Sir, please call me "Kiston", otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."
If Duke was just a double sage, would Kiston Raging Waves still dare to call me "Kiston"? He's a big man. Listen to Duke call him "Sir."
But Duke has already predicted that the real top power of the Seven Towers Federation, he is a mere 5th ring ocean arcane mage, and he does not dare to be called "sir" by Duke again.
Duke smiled helplessly.
He was following Kiriya's side and just called Christian an "adult", but since Christian didn't dare to accept it, he had no choice but to change his tune.
"Um, Keithon, I'm going to hold a ten-tower meeting to discuss building a rail train between Cuihai City and Shenjiao City." Duke handed over a drawing, "Take it when you chair the meeting. Come out to discuss and start construction as soon as the technology at the Erudite Tower is perfected." "
Sir, you should preside over the meeting." Christian said.
In the past ten-tower meetings, the chief executive of the United Tower of Shenjiao City was the leader, and the chief executive of the United Tower of Cuihai City was the deputy.
But now that Duke is the prophet, it is not his turn to take charge of the matter.
"It's okay, you can continue to preside. I am impatient to do these mundane tasks." Duke reassured, "I am going to take some time to resign the chief executive of the Union Tower in Cuihai City and elect a new chief executive... I do You are no longer suitable to be the chief governor."
Christian thought deeply: "Yes, you are already regarded as a prophet, and the chief governor of the local Union Tower is not worthy of your status." In fact, it is
not a question of whether you are worthy or not.
But if Duke continues to serve as chief executive, Cuihai City and Shenjiao City will not be prioritized. Moreover, even if Duke resigns as chief executive, the entire Black Dragon River Land will still have to obey him. No matter who he is, he will not be able to avoid Duke's control.
"I plan to nominate my teacher as the chief consul, but she is just in name. Regarding the specific general affairs, I plan to add a permanent consul to the Union Tower and let Penrose serve as the executive consul and preside over the work of the Union Tower for me." "Yes
. ." Christian was fine with that.
The two people communicated about this matter, and it was basically finalized. Then Duke resigned, and then the teacher Suktara was elected to take over.
The United Supreme Tower then held an enlarged meeting and invited the relevant Grand Arcana mages to vote.
Because Duke had already said hello in advance, there were no surprises in the voting results. Suktala successfully won the chief executive position of the Union Tower in Cuihai City.
After further communication with Penrose, Penrose came to the Union Tower in Cuihai City to serve as the executive governor.
"I will strictly follow your ruling ideas, Lord Prophet, and manage the entire Cuihai City!" Penrose said in a solemn tone, but could not hide his excitement.
His personal desire for power is a bit heavy. Now that he can hold the power of a city as a permanent governor, he is extremely satisfied.
Then he solemnly saluted Duke: "Thank you, Lord Prophet, for trusting me!"
He had failed to run for the chief director of Faling Tower in Cuihai City. He had been depressed for a while, but he never expected to come back as the executive governor.
"You are my enlightenment mentor, and I naturally trust you." Duke said with a smile, "Of course, standing in power can realize some ambitions, but I still hope that you, mentor, will not give up your practice. The senior management is deducing the ring of consonance. Once there are results, , it is very promising for you to be promoted to the 4th level."
Penrose said solemnly: "I understand, please rest assured, Lord Prophet, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will never give up!"
Promoted to the 4th level Arcane Earth Mage, which 3rd level Arcane Mage? Can you give up such an opportunity.
This is a transformation of life level.
Time flies to the end of the year, and the derivation project of the Lingxi Ring is still in full swing.
But the rail train that Duke casually proposed has been quickly developed by the Erudite Tower with the help of many knowledgeable sages, and complete construction standards have been formulated.
Eighteen cities around the Holy City of Offa have started rail construction projects one after another.
at the same time.
In Cuihai City and Shenjiao City, track construction projects have also been launched. With the technology developed by Erxue Tower, they have begun to build tracks for rail trains.
And when Duke was bored, he also adapted a song "Get on the Train to Cuihai".
On the day when the track construction started, the invited singers sang enthusiastically at the groundbreaking ceremony despite the heavy snowflakes.
There is also a group of dancers behind, dancing cheerfully.
"I got on the train and went to Cuihai, to see the magical green banyan forest, and to see the most beautiful blowing snow pillars, blooming at the foot of Lingya Mountain." "I got on the train to Cuihai, and danced the enthusiastic horse-riding
dance Come, drink the most fragrant barley tea, and get drunk in the Black Dragon River."
The lyrics don't rhyme. It's true that Duke didn't adapt it carefully - he didn't sign it either.
But the song was catchy, and at least the crowds who came to watch it despite the heavy snow felt very excited watching the beautiful dance and listening to the chorus of the singers.
"Sir Duke, we know that the rail train is your idea. Do you think the rail train can become the main means of transportation in the Seven Towers Federation?" A reporter from the "Seven Towers Daily" stationed in Patuihai City followed Duke. Posthumous interview.
The snow was sweeping across, and Duke's hair was already covered with white spots.
He did not use his fighting spirit to evaporate the snow, but instead enjoyed the most direct intimacy with nature. He responded calmly: "I believe that rail transportation will definitely become an important mode of transportation in the future, and people will soon adapt to it. Daily travel, All goods are transported by rail train."
"It is said that you gave up the patent registration and fully contributed the rail train technology to the seven-tower Federal Erudite Tower?" "
I am a prophet in the field of Erudite. I believe in guiding the development of technology, especially It is our duty to develop technologies that are beneficial to people's livelihood." Duke smiled and repeated the old tune, "I was born in a border town, and I understand people's difficulties in transportation, so I hope that rail trains can improve this." Not far away
. at.
On one side of the auditorium during the groundbreaking ceremony, Kiria Furious Wave lifted the hood of Offa's robe and put it on her head, revealing only a warm cheek.
Smiling slightly: "He is very handsome, isn't he, Winona."
Next to her, Winona Yingzhu, who was also wearing arcane robes, was as tall as Kylia, but slightly slender. She nodded in response. He said: "Yes, Lord Duke is very handsome."
Then he said in an admiring tone: "His body seems to be shining. Those great technologies are the source of light. He... Lord Duke is simply omnipotent!
" .
Thinking that Duke's real girlfriend was next to him, he felt a little embarrassed, and two blushes quickly appeared on his face.
Kiliya said indifferently: "Some people called him the Son of the Sun before, but I know that he is the sun itself." "The sun?
" Winona looked at Duke cutting the ribbon in the heavy snow.
Even though he is wearing simple clothes, he is still the undoubted center of attention. He is as dazzling, warm and sharp as the sun.
Kelia glanced at Winona who was absent-minded and smiled slightly.
Then he softly hummed the song he just sang: "I got on the train and went to Cuihai to see the magical green banyan forest..."
