Chapter 255: The Road to Advancement of Phantom Beasts
Duke, who has a chicken, basically leaves gifts and secrets to every tree king.
Theoretically, Duke can continue to search for the Tree King and obtain unlimited gifts and secrets, but there is no need to actively search for him.
If you have a chance to come across it, take a look.
"Teacher Penrose, we have to stay here for ten more days and a half." When Duke returned to the guest room, he saw Penrose who was reading the newspaper.
Penrose nodded and shook the "Seven Towers Daily" in his hand: "I heard that you were selected as the initiator of the will of the stars. The newspaper has already explained what it means. In the past, it was the arcane teacher who initiated it. For nearly a thousand years, Come on, you are the first 2-ring Arcane Mage to open."
"It is both a trust and a responsibility." Duke said with emotion, "Since you have chosen me, I will try to understand more of the will of the stars. Enlightenment, do your best for the Seven Towers Federation."
"I really didn't expect that." Penrose suddenly sighed.
"What didn't you expect?"
"You have already obtained two sage titles. Such dazzling achievements are rare in the entire Seven Towers Federation. Even the chief sages of Offa Tower have outstanding attainments in only one field. It is difficult to achieve major breakthroughs across fields."
Offata's chief sage is not an academic title.
Academic titles, like noble titles, are formally canonized honors. There are only two levels: scholar title and sage title.
The chief sage of Offa Tower is a position. Only sages who have outstanding contributions and senior resumes in a certain field, are recognized by the arcanist group, and have the ability to lead the entire Seven Towers Federation and make more breakthroughs in this field can be appointed. Selected as the chief sage of Offata.
The job of the chief sage of the Tower of Offa is to stand on the top of the mountain of spiritual arcana and lead the entire field in the established direction.
You don’t need to do academic work yourself, but you need to grasp the future of academics.
Therefore, the chief sage of Offata is also called the "prophet" by the public.
There are currently a total of twenty-seven prophets, presiding over the academic development work in various fields of the Seven Towers Federation.
For example, Chairman Selsus is a prophet in the field of erudition; Madron Rhodiola is also a prophet in the field of erudition. It's just that Selsus is mainly responsible for the research of new technologies in natural history; Madron is mainly responsible for the sinking of natural history into society.
In Duke's view.
If a scholar goes up, he becomes a sage; when a sage goes up, he becomes a prophet; when a prophet goes up, he becomes a sage, that is, he is selected into the Temple of Heroes.
Now that he has achieved the first two achievements, he is working towards achieving the Prophethood.
Therefore, he simply responded to Penrose's emotion: "Spirituals love me, and I can only repay it with mere academic achievements." "
Yes." Penrose nodded in agreement.
But there was something inexplicable in his heart. Such high-sounding words had always been his words as a mentor in the past.
Now it comes out naturally from Duke. After all, the identities of tutor and student have been interchanged. In front of Duke, the dual sage, he, the card-making scholar, is the student. So listening to Duke's teachings has become his daily routine.
There is indeed jealousy, but there is absolutely no resentment.
After all, every achievement of Duke is an unattainable peak for him, and card making scholar is already the limit of his life.
But the higher-level card-making sage is probably just the starting point for Duke.
"Teacher Penrose, please go to bed early." After chatting for a few words, Duke became a little less interested.
Nowadays, Penrose is no longer someone he can chat with casually. He always feels that Penrose's posture is too low and his speech is quite restrained. Apart from bragging, he cannot get a good chat experience.
So he said: "I haven't finished my evening classes yet, so I'm going back. You can visit the Holy City of Offa in the past few days, and I won't accompany you." "You are
busy with your own business, don't worry about me." Penrose Get up and see each other off.
In the next few days, Duke was busy, going to the Offa Tower to look for information, going to the Erudite Tower to participate in the academic salon, and going to the Star Tower to check the progress of the stars.
Or go to the Knights' Monastery in Pegasus Island City and listen to how veteran knights promote "Duke's Leap".
Compared with the extremely difficult "Duke Feather", "Duke's Leap" has been easily mastered by experienced riders in a short period of time.
"Lord Duke, look at how my practice is going." Agnes Ice Crown would approach Duke from time to time, showing off her beautiful figure.
She is twenty-six years old and unmarried. As a first-level arcane mage, her youth has been suspended for more than ten years, so she does not have to worry about aging.
"Very good, you have good talent and have mastered the key points of this fighting spirit martial art." Duke said calmly.
"Compared to your talent, sir, I am far behind." Yanis winked at Duke, with three red marks on her face, perfectly showing her wild side, "You are a knight genius who can create fighting spirit martial arts at will. , I can only rely on diligent training to catch up with you."
Looking at the three red marks on Yanis' pretty face, Duke smiled calmly: "I am only a 1st level knight, you are already a 2nd level fantasy beast knight, say You're much stronger than me, aren't you."
"That's different. My 'Red Thread' is a fantasy beast that my family has cultivated for me since I was a child. Lord Duke, you just lack a little time." Yanis reached out and touched it. There were red marks on his face, and he then pushed his hair behind his ears.
These three red marks are the marks left after she merged with the fantasy beast.
While speaking, Yanis had already released the phantom beast fusion, and the three red marks on her face quickly faded. A red light flashed on the shoulder, and a red bird, only the size of a palm, condensed its body and chirped softly.
Red Flame Shrike, a 2nd level fantasy beast.
Evolved from the 1st ring spirit beast, Red Feather Shrike, it is an auxiliary type of phantom beast. After being combined, it can increase the sharpness of the knight's fighting spirit, condense a bunch of fluffy fighting spirit into a solid line of fighting spirit, thereby increasing the attack power.
"Then, I'm in a hurry to see Dean Dunn." Duke was about to end the conversation with Yanis.
But Yanis came over with a smile: "Let me accompany you and lead the way for you. By the way, don't you plan to visit Pegasus Island City in the next few days? I can be your tour guide." "Pegasus.
" I have visited Island City before, but I have no plans to wander around recently. My next step is to go to Mangrove City to visit the Spiritual Pet Alliance." "I
know where the Spiritual Pet Alliance is. Let me show you the way." Yanis suggested again.
Duke then asked: "Aren't you busy?"
"It's easy. There is nothing wrong with the Knights' Monastery. After all, the age of knights is in the past. Moreover, the mercenary center has undertaken a large number of common affairs, and the Knights' Monastery is more like It is a specialized research institution for fighting qi and martial arts, and it is very leisurely."
Speaking of which, the monks from the Three Seas are all under the jurisdiction of the Faling Pagoda.
However, the arcane mages of the Magic Spirit Tower felt that the Linghai Knights and the Qihai Spirit Planters were not worthy of entering and exiting the same tower as the Linghai arcane mages.
Therefore, the business related to making money is retained, and the rest of the complicated chores are divided.
Most of the knight's business was assigned to knight monasteries and local knight monasteries, and even the registration of knights was divided.
same.
The veteran knights of the Knight's Monastery also felt that there were too many chores and were too annoying, so they split off the mercenary-related business and established a mercenary center.
certainly.
There are much more knights than Arcane mages, and they do need professional organizations to take care of them. Most of the knights are registered mercenaries, and they also need professional organizations to take care of them.
Seeing that Yanis was so insistent and seeing that the other party had a lot of beauties, Duke nodded: "Okay, I'll bother you then."
Behind him.
Assistants Mulali and Mulashan looked at each other.
Then they each pursed their lips. They were quite disdainful of the brown candy that Yanis couldn't drive away and kept pouring it over, but at the same time, they were secretly wary.
Obviously, Yanis brought them a sense of crisis.
As for Vivian, her expression has not changed at all. She has always adhered to her duties, has a clear understanding of her identity, and does not argue or quarrel.
Holding Xiao Dou in his arms, he followed Duke quietly.
After walking a few steps, they entered Dean Dunn's office.
Although the Knight's Monastery does not have a tower that towers into the sky, only a small dilapidated fortress, the interior decoration is no worse than that of the Mage Tower. It is just a dean's office, but it seems to be inside a large villa, and there is even a martial arts training ground.
"Sage Duke, welcome." Dunn Dragonlance did not wear arcane robes, but a set of fighting spirit training uniforms.
As the 7th Ring Morning Star Arcane Mentor, he is at least one or two hundred years old.
But apart from his gray hair and beard, his appearance and figure are no different from those of young people, and he also has strong muscles.
"Dean Dunn, I'm not disturbing you."
"I am a Qingjing Sanren. Apart from studying Dou Qi, I just go to the Union Tower for a meeting every day. There is nothing else." Dean Dunn said rather self-deprecatingly. As an old man, As a member of the Cavalry, he did not make much academic achievements.
Therefore, I can't get along with other arcane mages.
After all, every time the arcane masters talked about spiritual arcana, he felt as uncomfortable as sitting on wax, so he simply hid here to practice fighting spirit.
"In addition to consulting on the promotion of "Duke Feather" and "Duke's Leap", I am here this time. I mainly want to ask for advice on how to help the contracted spirit beasts evolve into fantasy beasts." Duke called to Vivian behind him. wave.
Vivian immediately handed over the small bag in her arms.
"This is my contract partner, Xiao Kabuto. He has entered the mature stage and is about to break through from the first ring to the second ring." Duke touched Xiao Kabuto's head.
The usually noisy little Kabuto, photographed in the Xingyuan aura of the Arcane Master, was as quiet as if he was asleep, not daring to move.
Under the hair on Kabuto's forehead, there is a red knight's contract mark. Outside of a complete ring, there is another new ring that is vaguely to be completed. The two rings are nested inside each other. If you don't look carefully, it seems that they have become one.
"If Xiao Kabuto is promoted to the second level of the long-haired mongoose, I'm afraid there will be no possibility of evolving into a phantom beast." Duke said.
Dean Dunn glanced at Xiao Kabuto, then stretched out his hand and touched the knight's contract mark on Xiao Kabuto's head.
Then he said: "The best way is to change a spiritual beast contract."
Xiao Kabutu seemed to understand, and immediately turned his head and looked at Duke pitifully.
"Um..." Duke smiled awkwardly, "I still want to help Kabuto evolve into a fantasy beast. After all, it is the knight companion I have trained since childhood." "In this case, my suggestion is to drink blood." Dean
Dunn He also gave a new suggestion, "Purchase the blood of a dragon, preferably a dragon similar to the long-haired mongoose. Well, let me think about it. The Knight's Monastery has a lot of blood of the dragon. ."
Dean Dunn thought for a few seconds, and then gave a hint: "The blood of the subdragon of the Tailless Dragonite and the Bloody Weaselosaurus should be suitable. You can buy it for this long-haired mongoose. Of course, the most suitable one should be It's the subdragon blood of the upright mongoose dragon, but it's a pity that the Knight's Monastery has never collected it." "
Really? Okay, I'll buy the subdragon blood of the mongoose dragon and the bloody mongoose dragon. Oh, by the way, Dean Dunn "How much dragon blood do I need to buy?"
"There is no fixed number, but one dragon blood can be used to refine a bottle of magical dragon potion. You can find a pharmacist to refine three magical dragon potions, which should be enough. Magic Dragon Drinking too much medicine is useless. Three doses is the limit. Whether it succeeds or not depends on the qualifications of the long-haired mongoose itself."
Finally, Dean Dunn added: "The edge of killing and death is also a good way for spiritual beasts to advance to fantasy beasts. , so after you drink the magic dragon potion for the long-haired mongoose, remember to take it to hunt in the forest and let it break through in the battle." "Okay! Thank you
Dean Dunn for your advice."
"It's nothing, you just ask Yani Si, she will tell you this too." Dean Dunn disapproved of this.
Then he took Duke and talked about "Duke's Feather" and "Duke's Leap".
He was full of praise for these two fighting spirit martial arts and spoke highly of it: "Duke Feiyu is even more powerful for knight elites, such as 2-level fantasy beast knights and 3-level advanced fantasy beast knights. With this fighting spirit martial arts, The strength may be close to that of arcane mages of the same level."
He also said: "As for "Duke's Leap", even if the difficulty is downgraded a lot, there will still be many 0-level knights who can't learn it, but as long as the 1-level knights work hard, they will have more brains. If you are not stupid, you should be able to succeed in cultivation. After success, your strength will also improve." "
I hope so." Duke smiled, "The specific promotion work will be done by the adults of the Knights of Labor Monastery. "
"These two fighting skills have greatly improved the morale of our veteran knights. Don't worry, the Knights Monastery will do its best to promote it." Dean Dunn said, patting Duke on the shoulder, "I'm looking forward to it. The day I rode a dragon."
However, he changed the topic and added: "But I still suggest that you replace this long-haired mongoose. From it, you can't see the wildness that a spiritual beast should have." In other words
.
Xiao Dou may have been raised to death.
"It doesn't matter, I will knock it." Duke smiled. He had never thought about changing Kabuto. After all, knighthood could not improve his strength.
Even if he rides a dragon, he is only a fourth-level dragon knight, and he may not be able to defeat a fourth-level earth arcane mage.
Duke's future is to be the 9th Ring Sunday Arcane Master.
"It's up to you." Dean Dunn didn't try to persuade him any more. "When you get the increase in fighting spirit, you may be able to break through the knight's level shackles without the help of phantom beasts... In short, the future of knighthood lies with you, so work hard. Duke."
"I will."
After bidding farewell to Dean Dunn, Duke immediately asked Agnes to lead the way to the warehouse of the Knight's Monastery and purchased six copies of the blood of the sub-dragon.
Three-thirds of the blood of the bloody weasel dragon is to be used by Kabuto; three-thirds of the blood of the tailless weasel dragon is to be used for Vivian's breasts.
Mimi is currently a level 1 spirit beast - the black-spotted serval cat, and is about to be promoted to level 2. There is no sign of evolving into a phantom beast yet.
After buying the blood of the dragon, he immediately took the shuttle and went to find a pharmacist to refine the magic dragon potion.
On the way, Duke said to Herdos, who was the captain of the escort knight: "It's a pity that there is no external force for the evolution of the 2-level phantom beasts into the 3-level advanced phantom beasts. Otherwise, I will definitely help you improve the knights." grade."
Heldos was previously the patrol knight captain of Suktara Mage Tower and a 2nd level fantasy beast knight.
Now he has become Duke's full-time escort knight, responsible for protecting his daily travels. Hearing this, he said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Sir. Heldos was lucky enough to be promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight. He is already satisfied. Can he be promoted to the high-level Phantom Beast Knight? I'd like to know." Just let it be natural."
Yanis, who was sitting in the passenger seat, heard the words and said: "The first-level spiritual beasts advance to the second-level fantasy beasts, depending on the qualifications of the spiritual beasts; the second-level fantasy beasts advance to the third-level advanced fantasy beasts. level, it mainly depends on the talent of the contract knight. If you are Lord Duke, as long as Kabuto evolves into a fantasy beast, he will naturally be promoted to a high-level fantasy beast." "Is that
so?"
"That's it, Lord Dunn, Godiva Sir, it is natural to be promoted to the third level of advanced fantasy beast knight, without any extra help." "
Hmm!" Duke nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, as long as he helps Kabuto evolve into a fantasy beast, it means that he will be promoted to a third-level fantasy beast knight sooner or later.
If the fighting spirit increases greatly in the future, riding a dragon is really not a luxury.
However, Herdos was a little disappointed. He didn't feel that his talent could be compared with that of the arcane mages. After all, the arcane mages were the darlings of spirituality.
...
Six copies of the blood of the sub-dragon were all handed over to a pharmacist with the level of a great arcane mage. After a week, six copies of the magic dragon potion were obtained.
While waiting, Yanis led the way and took Duke to Mangrove City.
Mangrove City is a water city. Most of the urban area is located on the water. The mangroves scattered throughout are the characteristics of this water city.
Moreover, in the central area of the city, surrounded by five towers, there is one of the largest trees, the mangrove, whose canopy covers an entire square kilometer.
Birds live in the canopy and fish swim beneath the roots.
It forms a vivid and beautiful picture.
"The headquarters of the Spiritual Pet Alliance is under the canopy of this three-ring tree king - the mangrove king." Yanis led the way and walked in from the alley next to the Union Tower.
Then I saw the huge king mangrove tree.
The height of the tree crown is fifty meters, and the branches are luxuriant. There is a space of more than ten meters below the crown. Countless other types of mangroves are guided to grow, forming a tree house block, becoming the most prosperous place in the entire Mangrove City. business district.
Each small red tree has been specially cultivated and grows out of the water into a tree house.
The tree houses are connected to the tree houses, and the neon lights illuminate everything like a dream world. It is impossible to tell whether it is the sky, land or ocean.
"Master Duke, go this way." Yanis walked onto the living tree bridge formed by two trees twisting each other.
There are no artificial roads here. They are all trunks and branches of various mangroves twisted together to form roads, railings, houses, and even street lights and signboards. They are all living mangroves.
"If this is to be put on the earth, it must not become the number one internet celebrity check-in point?" Duke followed behind Yanis and looked at the entire mangrove curiously. It must be said that in terms of artistic aesthetics, this mangrove is his best so far. , the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen.
There are not many pedestrians, but it is obvious that most of them are arcane mages and their entourage shopping.
After passing through several mangrove houses, Yanis led Duke and his party to a tall house. On the branches of a mangrove tree, a slide card sign hung.
Spiritual Pet Alliance.
The home of the elves.
The two lines of tower text on the signboard are shining brightly.
Yanis greeted: "Master Duke, let's go in."
"Wait a moment, I will understand the secret of the Mangrove King." Duke stood on the tree bridge and touched his belly.
The chicken jumped out.
His big eyes blinked, and just as he was about to speak, Duke stretched out a finger.
So the chicken accepted its fate, bit Duke's finger, merged with Duke, and quickly entered the elf form.
I began to understand this three-ring king tree - the mangrove king.
"Is this Lord Duke's elf and the combined form of the elf?" Yanis looked at Duke, who had grown so tall under the arcane robe, and her eyes lit up, "There is a kind of morbid beauty, indescribable Handsome."
After hearing this, Mulali said proudly: "Sir, he said this is called the elf form, and he is always handsome, anytime and anywhere." "
Indeed." Yanis nodded.
Then he curiously asked: "Are you gentlemen always so casual when comprehending the secrets of the Tree King? Don't you need to find a good place to comprehend the secrets?" "I don't know, but
with our gentlemen's understanding, let's comprehend it." It’s just the secret of the Tree King, it doesn’t seem to require any sense of ritual.” Mulali said.
Mulashan immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, sir, I admire simplicity."
Yanis wanted to say that this had nothing to do with the sense of ritual and the emphasis on simplicity. How could the secret of the Tree King be understood casually? If you don't make complete preparations when you come out, how can you get gifts from the King of Trees?
But the next moment.
Then Duke let out a breath, then opened his eyes, exited the elf form, and then stuffed the green tadpoles into his stomach.
She clapped her hands and said calmly: "It's done, let's go."
Yanis asked curiously: "Mr. Duke, are you ready for enlightenment now? Don't you need to make any more preparations?" "
What are you preparing for? "Duke said casually as he walked, "It's just to understand the secret of the Tree King. There is no need to make any preparations." "
But if you are so perfunctory, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand the secret of the Tree King." Yanis replied Tao, I felt in my heart that maybe Duke came from the country and didn't know much about the mysteries of the Tree King. He thought that he could just understand it casually and give spiritual guidance whether the deal was successful or not.
Duke was already standing in front of the headquarters gate of the Spiritual Pet Alliance. After hearing this, he turned around and said, "Isn't this already understood?"
Yanis was stunned: "What?"
"Growth·Mangrove King, this is Red The secret of the tree king, and this mangrove king is not a simple three-ring tree king, but a three-ring great elf tree king. It once gave birth to a great elf... No wonder the Spiritual Pet Alliance chose this place as its headquarters. "
Duke said, and someone had already pushed open the door of the Spiritual Pet Alliance.
Just now, the fifth spiritual seed grew out of his Qi Sea. It was a small red tree, and the chicken was so happy that it jumped up and down on the clouds of the Qi Sea.
In the spiritual sea, a fifth mystery was also born - Growth Mangrove King. The secret of this mangrove king is that it can help the elves grow.
Not only in reality, it can help elves grow.
Growth in the Spiritual Sea - The Mystery of the Mangrove King can also help Duke's contracted elves grow, but it is still unknown how much help it can have.
"Welcome to the Spiritual Pet Alliance. Do you have an appointment?" The front desk receptionist of the Spiritual Pet Alliance was about to go through the process. He suddenly saw Duke surrounded by people and said, "Are you Lord Sage Duke?" ?"
"It's me." Duke responded with a smile.
The receptionist immediately stood up and walked out of the front desk: "I don't have your appointment record here, Mr. Duke Sage, but it is our honor for you to come to the Spiritual Pet Alliance. I will take you to visit the Spiritual Pet Alliance first, and my colleague will inform today The elf envoy on duty."
"Okay."
Duke, led by the receptionist, entered the headquarters of the Spiritual Pet Alliance, which was composed of a large tree house.
Through the breathing resonance established through the breathing method, you can feel the breath of several elves here, as well as the rhythm of many elves' spiritual plants.
Behind him, Yanis looked at Duke with a complicated expression.
I have mixed feelings in my heart.
She is also a talented female arcane mage in the Holy City of Arcana. She is a leader of the new generation, both in the arcane mage group and in the circle of experienced knights.
However, it has been seven years since she was promoted to Arcane Mage, and she has yet to comprehend even one of the secrets of the Tree King.
Those seniors who have understood the secret of the Tree King once told her that to understand the secret of the Tree King, she needs to adjust her own state to the best, and constantly understand the Tree King, and completely bring herself into the nature of the Tree King. In force.
Just now there is a slight possibility of success in understanding.
But now.
Someone actually understood the secret of the Tree King in minutes, and the process was not similar to the warnings of the predecessors.
Shaking her head, Yanis suppressed the wavering in her heart and just asked the unknown spirit: "Spirit... Do you really love Duke so much?" Please
