Chapter 320: The Unknown Is the Surprise
After the naming of the Ring of Fantasy Beasts was approved, Cuihai City became lively again, and Duke's name once again appeared on major visual platforms.
Duke also grabbed headlines again and again in newspapers.
"The four-ring prophet!"
"The spiritual arcana writes history, the first person in history."
"The giant of the spiritual arcana was born in the Seven Towers Federation, and the future of mankind will follow the giant Duke. The four-ring prophet is not the limit, just a The beginning of an era."
There are no more flattering words to describe the praise.
All in all, after naming the Ring of Phantom Beasts, Duke has undoubtedly become the greatest sage in the history of spiritual arcana. When he chooses to return to the West and be elected to the Temple of Heroes, Abbotts will have to make way for him.
In view of this, the Seven Towers Optical Observatory arranged an exclusive interview with Duke for "High-end Interview".
This program is hosted by a great arcanist mage. Once it was launched, it became a must-see program for all the arcane mage elites in the Seven Towers Federation and even the eighteen human regimes.
"With the invention of the Ring of Phantom Beasts, many arcane mages have expressed their opinions in public, thinking that you have surpassed Sage Abbots. What do you think of this?" The host asked the question calmly.
In fact, Duke, as one of the bosses behind the Seven Towers Optical Observation Station, asked "High-end Access" to interview him in order to suppress public opinion.
Therefore, when faced with the host's question, Duke simply responded: "It's passed, it's passed."
Then he chatted with the host all over the world, chatting about history and the future, and continued to build momentum for the Dongwei spiritual era. .
However, after the program was broadcast, some local newspapers reprinted the interview content.
It even used the title "Prophet Duke said he has surpassed Sage Abbots" to distort the facts and catch people's attention.
The key is.
The readers of these local newspapers are all from the middle and lower classes of society, such as knights, spiritual envoys, small businessmen, etc. They recognized the title very much and even took it for granted. The Four-ring Prophet is naturally greater than any founder.
On the streets, some old men chatted privately.
He even came up with a method of comparison: "I know that Sage Abbots doesn't have one ring, but Prophet Duke has four rings. How can we compare? There is no way to compare!"
So.
Even though Duke used his prophetic power to ban these random local tabloids and fire them, the content of the reports still spread and was widely recognized by the lower classes of society - Duke surpassed Abbotts!
Assistant Ibuprofen reported what he had learned to Duke: "Up and down the Black Dragon River, even the foot traffickers think that you, sir, have surpassed the sage Abbots." "
My ring of light and faith has opened up the recklessness. In the era of deserted villages, demons and ghosts were also released!" Duke seemed to sigh sadly.
In fact, I feel quite happy inside.
In his heart, he himself believed that he had surpassed Abbotts. Abbott's founding of the Seven Towers Federation certainly had a far-reaching impact, but his own invention of the Four Rings and the creation of an era of subtle spirituality for mankind would also have a far-reaching impact.
And purely in terms of the expansion of spiritual arcane magic, he surpassed Abbotts in a crushing way. After all, Abbotts was only a second-level arcane mage in that era.
In that era, there were no Rings of Distortion, Chapters of Mist, Contracts, or Spirit Cards. Arcane mages were still in the "amateur" state, and their paths were full of obstacles.
Even the spiritual arcana system has not yet been established.
"The reason why Abbots' status is strong is that the Seven Towers Federation has become the strongest country in mankind. As a founder, he is naturally deified and deeply tied to the Seven Towers Federation. He is prosperous and prosperous." Duke touched
. Touching his chin, he thought in his mind: "All the current development of the Seven Towers Federation must be given to Abbotts with a share of 30% of the credit!" Therefore,
even in public, he has to show humility, and he is still far from being as good as Abbotts. achievements.
After all, even his achievement was worth three points to Abbotts.
In such a chaotic atmosphere, Dunn Longqiang, the dean of the Knight's Monastery, finally led a team to Cuihai City.
"Meet the Dragon Knight, Dunn Dragon Lancer sends you his greetings!" The core pillar of the old knight, after meeting Duke, he immediately got up to his tricks and actually knelt down on one knee and performed the knightly age rituals to Duke. It is an ancient etiquette to perform worship.
Most of the stars have pure hearts, so they tend to do whatever they want.
Duke laughed and helped Dunn Dragon Lance up: "Dean Dunn, please get up quickly."
Waiting for the two to finish greeting.
Agnes Ice Crown, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped directly into Duke's arms. The people around her were already not surprised.
Such as Dunn Dragon Lance and Godiva Storm Sword. Their smiles seem to evoke a trace of nostalgia for the past.
In the past, when they were young and frivolous, they would embrace each other with beautiful women in their arms.
Of course, even though he is getting older now, his physical skills have not deteriorated and he still has many confidantes. It's just that the years of burning passion have passed, and I have changed to working quietly and not easily showing off in public.
After giving a banquet.
Dunn Dragoon and others settled in Oak Tooth Mountain. In the next few days, Duke was almost pestered by Dunn Dragoon, and they competed all day long.
At night, I had to fight with Agnes Ice Crown for half the night.
It can be said that I work hard day and night.
"Dragon Knight, let's do it again!" August has passed in the blink of an eye, and Dunn Dragonlance has been fighting Duke for a week, and he is still very interested. "You lack dragon weapons, and Godiva and I happened to have both. I'll lend you the Yalong weapon."
"Don't be in a hurry to compete." Duke no longer had any interest in competing.
Restricted to fighting only in the way of knights, Dunn Dragon Lance is no match for him; if he fires with all his strength, even if Duke assists the three-ring sand eagle with the Grasp of Immortality, he is still not the star of Dunn Dragon Lance. opponent.
Therefore, a competition with no exceptions is not interesting at all.
Duke said: "I'm going to forge some sub-dragon weapons. Do me a favor and help me search for some sub-dragon materials." "
I've got it covered." Dunn Dragonlance promised, patting his chest.
Godiva Storm Sword asked: "Is it enough to just search for materials, or do I need to find an alchemist to help cast it?" "
I am the alchemist, so why bother others." Duke smiled slightly.
Although his attainments in the field of alchemy are not profound enough, with Xiaoyi's help, the sub-dragon weapons forged are absolutely perfect.
"I almost forgot, you are now the Sixth Sage!" Dunn Longqiang sighed.
Just after the ring of phantom beasts was officially named, the reward for Duke's invention of the ring of phantom beasts also came. Duke was officially canonized as the formation sage and beast taming sage in the Offa Tower. An achievement at the ring level is worthy of two sage titles.
At this point, Duke seems to be the fourth ring prophet and the six sages.
Among them, the six sage titles have already tied the record of the Seven Towers Federation. As long as they get another sage title in the future, they can break the record.
As for whether Duke can break the record, everyone believes that it is only a matter of time.
After chatting for a while about the sub-dragon weapon, Duke looked at Dunn Dragon Cavalry, who was full of fighting spirit, and laughed: "I have something else to do today. I have to attend the Beast Blood Pill Improvement Conference held by the Spiritual Beast Research Institute. The fight is postponed to tomorrow."
Dunn Dragon Lance nodded helplessly: "Okay."
Then he turned to look at Godiva Storm Sword: "Your Excellency Duke doesn't have time, you and I are both level 3 advanced Phantom Beast Knight, go out and fight a few times!"
Godiva Storm Sword wanted to refuse, but he knew very well that his dean was a martial arts idiot, so he could only say: "Dean, we have too many competitions. This time, I can't beat you."
"Then you deputy deans come together!" Dunn Dragon Lance became more and more excited, "This time I will fight four high-level fantasy beast knights alone!" "
They were here before. In the Knight's Monastery, there will be a duel every three to five." Agnes Ice Crown took Duke's arm and followed Duke out of the castle and into Duke's Sage Mage Tower. "Before you, Dean Dunn has the best chance of promotion. Where is the Dragon Knight?"
Duke nodded: "Indeed, if there is a second Dragon Knight, it must be Dean Dunn."
As the dean of the Knight Monastery, Dunn Dragon Knight has improved many fighting skills, and Presided over the revision of the blood refining method many times.
It can be said that a lot of fighting spirit has been gained.
However, there was a lack of key promotion of the way of knights, and neither the fighting spirit martial arts, nor the lightsaber, or the beast blood elixir were invented.
Therefore, the increase in fighting spirit he gained was probably less than one percent compared to Duke.
This is also the reason why Dunn Dragon Lance has been unable to be promoted to Dragon Knight. Such an increase in fighting spirit is far from powerful enough to break through the ceiling of knighthood.
"Before we met you, we all knew that it was almost impossible for a dragon knight to appear in the world. Even Gamater, who invented the "Gamath Shield", was not promoted. Moreover, Dean Dunn did not invent the fighting spirit martial arts. Over time, Dean Dunn himself also Discouraged."
Agnes Ice Crown continued: "It wasn't until you broke through the Dragon Knight that Dean Dunn regained confidence and enthusiasm for the Dragon Knight."
She looked at Duke, with little stars in her eyes: "You give everyone The knights of the world have ignited the hope of the dragon knight."
"The hope of the dragon knight has not been ignited, it has only ignited the hope of the fantasy beast knight." Duke was not dizzy by the other party's praise.
He knew very well that his promotion to the fourth-level dragon knight was a masterpiece of the right time, place and people.
If it were anyone else, there would be no possibility at all. Even if Duke imparted his experience as a dragon knight, it would be difficult for anyone to replicate his trajectory.
Even Dunn Dragon Lance may not be able to be reproduced.
"The reason why the Beast Spirit Formation and the Beast Blood Pill are named the Ring of Phantom Beasts is because... it really can only stop at the Phantom Beast Knights." Duke sighed, "The stars have already seen through the essence. I Becoming a dragon knight is just an accident."
"But it is a hope after all, isn't it."
"Indeed."
Just as she said that, Yanis suddenly pretended to complain: "But now I am not even a high-level fantasy beast knight. I'm a little Phantom Beast Knight. Lord Dragon Knight, you have to give me some guidance and help me improve my strength." "
Okay, I'll help you practice tonight!" Duke promised.
...
September 3rd, light rain.
Winona Yingzhu held an oil-paper umbrella and climbed onto the branches of the ancestor of the oak tree from the thirty-story corridor of the Duke Sage Mage Tower.
The branches have been manually carved into a winding path.
The path leads deep into the canopy, where there are several treehouses, one of which is Duke's treehouse, and several others are owned by Suktara, Kiliya Fury and others. Of course, there is one room among them, which belongs to Winona Yingzhu.
After completing her training, Winona Yingzhu stayed at Duke Sage Mage Tower to work, and has considered Oaktusk Mountain as her home.
"Hey."
She was walking on the path when she suddenly stopped, then stretched out her pink and white arm like a lotus root, and pulled a branch in front of her eyes.
But in the gaps between the leaves, there is a cluster of small pale yellow inflorescences hanging down.
Looking carefully, not only did the branches in her hands have inflorescences hanging down, but also countless inconspicuous small light yellow inflorescences hung down in the dense canopy of the entire oak tree. It was as if a light rain came and the oak tree was in full bloom. flowers.
In addition to a long series of inflorescences, there are also single blooming flowers scattered sporadically under the cover of leaves.
"The ancestor of the oak tree has bloomed!" Winona Yingzhu turned around, quickly returned to the Duke Sage Mage Tower, and took the spiritual ladder to reach the 101st floor.
Say hello to the ibuprofen outside the office: "Is the mentor here?" "The mentor is here."
Basically every morning, Duke comes to the office to sit for a while.
One is to process the data submitted by the laboratory, and the other is to activate the advanced replication ring here and participate in various meetings in the Holy City of Arcane.
"Mentor." After Winona Yingzhu received permission, she opened the door of the office and walked in. "The ancestor of the oak tree has bloomed. Did you know?" The arcane eye was suspended
on the desk, and the arcane hand was turning. material.
Duke himself held the newspaper and looked for news about himself. His eyes lit up when he heard this: "The ancestor of the oak tree has bloomed?"
Soon, standing on the branches of the ancestor of the oak tree, Duke saw what seemed to be blooming overnight. of numerous small inflorescences.
The oak spirit also flew out of the air sea and danced in the canopy: "Master Duke, the ancestor of the oak tree has really bloomed." "
Very good, very good!" Duke smiled with satisfaction.
He has been looking forward to the ancestor of the oak tree blooming and bearing fruit. Only when it bears acorns can he study the mysterious power within it.
"By the way, Oak Spirit, how long does it take for the ancestor of the oak tree to bloom and bear fruit?" "
I remember it seems to take half a year." Oak Spirit thought for a while, "I used to spend most of my time in the Asiba tribe, and I'm not familiar with the oak tree. The ancestor of the oak tree is bearing fruit, so I don’t pay much attention to it. The latest fruit was picked by Abu Abu, and many oak people have been blessed by it." The power
of the oak people comes from the ancestor of the oak tree, and this power has penetrated into their blood. , passed down from generation to generation.
But the acorn man can also rely on new acorns to gain more power.
"Okay!" Duke nodded, "Then wait half a year before studying the power of the ancestor of the oak tree and trying to change the world again." No one knew what
Duke had in mind.
The ancestor of the oak tree is blooming. To everyone, it is just another fresh scenery in the Oak Tooth Mountain. Once you see it, you will forget it.
"Your Excellency Dragon Knight, it's time to compete!" Dunn Dragon Lance came over again and shouted.
"Let's go!"
Duke cheered up, summoned Xiao Kabuto directly from the Dragon Garden, then rode on Xiao Kabuto and flew straight to the virgin forest to the west.
Although it was boring, Duke was still willing to compete.
The reason is simple. Dunn Dragon Lancer is the star, and every time he meets the other professor is an opportunity to peep into the secrets of the stars.
boom!
The battle soon began over the primeval forest. From a battle between fighting spirit and martial arts to a duel between arcane arts, it quickly became intense.
"Duke!"
Dunn Dragon Cavalry is wearing armor. This is one of his 6-ring arcane weapons. Its defensive effect is astonishing, comparable to the 7-ring forbidden art - the Grasp of Immortality.
At this moment, he raised his hands high above his head: "I still have a forbidden technique. Although it is not satisfactory, it is still the work I am most proud of in my life. Let you see it!" Boom
!
Thunder flashed above his head, as if something was summoned from another world and turned into a huge spear of light.
"Destruction Dragon Spear!" Dunn Dragon Lance summoned the light spear transformed from the forbidden spell, and reminded him word by word, "The arcane spells with earth element attributes are constantly combined and superimposed. It took nearly fifty years of exploration to finally With this Destruction Dragon Spear!"
He put his hands into the light body of the Destruction Dragon Spear, as if hugging the Destruction Dragon Spear around his waist, and then projected it towards Duke on the ground from a high position.
this moment.
The world seemed to be still, only the Dragon Spear of Destruction descended from the sky.
Duke Nenggu felt the terrifying coercion of this forbidden technique, but he was not very nervous in his heart, because it was just a discussion, and Dunn Dragonlance did not speed up the destruction of the Dragonlance. He had enough time to avoid it. Start attacking.
but.
He wanted to try a head-on confrontation.
Then he suddenly waved his hands, with his left hand facing his chest and his right hand facing the Destruction Dragon Spear, launching the Immortal Grip twice, one after the other.
Big black hands stretched out from the void, one protected Duke, and the other grabbed the Destruction Dragon Spear.
at the same time.
In front of Duke, another gray gun barrel was suspended. The improved three-ring sand eagle began to switch to violent combat mode.
After being upgraded to level 3, the Sand Eagle Pistol no longer needs to be updated. Instead, the four modules are continuously optimized. Every optimization is towards the ultimate limit of the three-layer ring structure, improving the combat effectiveness of the Sand Eagle pistol.
Boom, boom, boom...
Shooting is like firing a cannon. The final bullets arrive first, transcending the grip of immortality, and explode continuously on the Dragon Spear of Destruction.
But the momentum of the Dragon Spear of Destruction has not diminished at all.
When the Immortal Grip grabbed the Destruction Dragon Spear, it completely collapsed in a thousandth of a second.
Then he blasted down towards Duke's head unstoppably.
"Alas!" Duke sighed in his heart. The level gap was too big. After all, he was far behind in strength when facing the stars.
There was no way he could handle the forbidden technique of Dunn Dragon Cavalry.
But sighing, he didn't hesitate at all, and the person had already rushed out of the locking range of the Destruction Dragon Spear like a ghost.
This Destruction Dragon Lance, which was deliberately slowed down by Dunn Dragon Lance, was late and crashed into the ground after Duke was out of the attack range.
A dull and shocking muffled sound came out.
Immediately afterwards, the entire land fell into a brief silence. Immediately afterwards, the shock wave of earth-shattering radiated rapidly to the surroundings. The entire area of more than ten miles was swept by the powerful power of the Destruction Dragon Spear, and all flowers, plants and trees were turned into nothingness. .
Only the Dunn Dragon Lance in the sky could easily withstand the shock wave with its arcane armor.
Duke underground also relied on the defensive power of the Immortal Grip to remove the shock wave that could tear everything apart, and stood safe and sound.
No.
To be precise, he was standing in the air, because the soil under his feet had been scraped away by at least one centimeter by the shock wave.
When everything returned to calm, Dunn Dragon Lance fell to the ground, stood in front of Duke, looked at the desolate scene of more than ten miles around, and said calmly: "Pursuing too much power leads to slow speed and difficulty in locking onto the enemy. , this is the biggest drawback of the Destruction Dragon Spear."
Duke said with a sigh: "I think there is another drawback, which is that it is too destructive to the environment." "
Haha. Just a little forest, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed." Deng Well, Dragon Cavalry didn't care. The forest was so vast, so what did it matter if he destroyed a small area.
Duke shook his head and said: "After thousands of years, when spiritual arcane magic is integrated into the entire society and arcane mages emerge in large numbers, I am afraid that people at that time will have to shout the slogan of 'protect the forest'." Dunn
Dragonlance I was about to simply agree with Duke's cold joke.
Suddenly his expression changed.
He put his index finger to his mouth and shushed.
Duke didn't know why. As the land with a radius of more than ten miles was razed to the ground, the breathing method could not establish respiratory resonance with the plants, and his monitoring of the surroundings was greatly reduced.
Fortunately, he was able to answer the question with the Arcane Eye, which he revealed in time.
In the field of vision of the Arcane Eye, a faint breath is escaping from the underground not far away towards the ground.
"The evil aura of the gods!" Duke soon understood what these strange auras were with the help of Xiao Yi. "There is the evil aura of the gods underground. Could it be that there are shed shells of the evil gods again, or... Is there an evil creature alive underground?"
He had consulted a lot of information about the evil being from the library of Offa Tower, and also consulted Selsus and others.
Know that the gods are evil creatures that have existed since ancient times.
It seems that in the early days before all things developed, when living bodies were still single cells, divine evil already existed in the wilderness continent, and they were constantly looking for springs of spirituality to feed on.
Gods feed on spirituality.
It especially likes to devour the spring of spirituality. When it swallows the spring of spirituality entirely, it will leave a abscess-like forbidden area on the earth, which is called a scar on the earth.
Moreover, with the help of the scar on the earth, the evil spirit will be permanently integrated with the earth, immortal and eternal.
Even arcane instructors find it difficult to clean up the scars on the earth. They can only mark the scars as forbidden areas and let them go.
Duke had only seen the scar on the earth from a distance while the battleship was flying, but he had never seen the real evil. However, when he was young, he encountered the influence of the evil spirits shedding their shells in the Cuihai Valley. So far, the evil energy is still escaping in the No. 3 mutant forest.
After a long time, Dunn Dragon Knight ended his observation of the evil spirit. He took a deep breath and said, "What an unexpected surprise."
"Happy?" Duke was surprised.
"There is a young divine evil hidden under the earth. I found it by mistake. Isn't it a great joy!" "
How do you say?"
"To grow, the divine evil needs the help of the power of the spiritual spring to transform. The stars can do nothing to create scars on the earth. However, some evil spirits will never grow into scars on the earth unless they swallow the spring of spirituality. Such young evil beings are just an anonymous spirit dragon card!" Evil Gods, as the name suggests
, , can be named after "god", which shows that the god of evil naturally possesses mysterious and unpredictable power.
After all, divine evil can be divided into 10 levels of existence.
Arcane mages often decipher the mysteries of spiritual arcana from divine beings. Every time they study a divine evil thoroughly, they can gain endless benefits.
"The Scar of the Earth is too dangerous. Even the Arcane Master can easily get lost in it. I don't dare to explore the Scar of the Earth anyway." Dunn Dragon Knight became more and more excited as he spoke. "But there is a young god here, and it is very likely that he is The one who escaped in Cuihai City, haha, I should be rich!"
Duke saw this and smiled slightly: "Anyone who picks up money on the road will be rewarded."
Dunn Longqiang laughed, shook his head and said, "Long Knight, it’s not that I, Dunn, am stingy. The power of an evil being is not as powerful as the stars, so you can’t grasp it.” “It’s
just a young evil.”
“You can’t control a young evil, either. I really won’t lie to you.” Dunn Long Qi Qian said sincerely, "The power of the gods is weird and unpredictable, and it is especially good at charming people's minds. Even the arcane mage of the sky who has been infected by the power of the gods for too long will become dementia." "So scary?" "It's better than what I
described
. What's even more terrifying is that this power must either be sealed or decomposed, and there is no third option. Therefore, if you ask me to share the benefits of the divine evil with you, I cannot share it with you, and even the scraps have to be destroyed. "
Okay." Duke had no choice but to give up, but asked curiously, "Then how are you going to collect this wealth? What can you get from the gods?" "I don't know." "Don't know?
"
Duke asked .
Dunn Dragon Knight laughed and said: "It's just not knowing that is enough to surprise, isn't it? Maybe it contains the secret of the 9th Ring of Sunshine, maybe there is some idea of a forbidden spell, or even the Dragon Knight's breakthrough. Method...how you gain depends on whether spirituality loves me!"
