Chapter 193 The Giant of Light is in Action
Xiaohong is a crypt army ant with 5 blood rings, and she is also the queen.
Since she is an ant queen, she naturally needs to build a nest to build her own ant colony. Beverly Manor is obviously not a suitable place to build a nest.
"Let's put it on...Duke-James Farm." Finally Duke settled on the location.
"However, before Xiaohong builds a nest, I have to give it the necessary training so that it will not harm humans and determine the range of foraging, otherwise it will be the biggest threat to the farm."
After all, Xiaohong is not a single individual.
If it is a single individual, Duke can take it with him and restrict its inappropriate behavior at any time. However, as the queen ant, the ant colony established by Xiaohong can only be restrained by Xiaohong, not under the control of Duke.
"Fortunately, it will take a year or two for Xiaohong to truly mature and be able to marry and fly." Duke can infer the time when Xiaohong's body matures through his understanding of crypt army ants.
"Before that, I have to find an opportunity to learn some Gu-control techniques..."
Organize your thoughts.
He just went back to bed to sleep.
During the next two days, Duke went to work normally, and because the office was on the same floor, he could occasionally meet Kylia Raging Wave.
The two of them just greeted each other with a smile, without any further communication.
"How can mere beauty disturb my Dao heart?" He walked to the French window facing north of the office and looked at a construction site in the distance.
Even prepared a special telescope.
Pick up the binoculars and carefully inspect the construction site.
You can see countless puppets, either driven by people or remotely controlled by people, building factories in full swing.
This is the factory of the Light Giant Spirit Tool Company.
"Very good. At this speed, the factory will be officially put into operation by the end of May, and the portable lights will be produced in large quantities." Money can make things work. As long as you are willing to pay Jinlong and invest more puppets, the factory can be put into production in two months.
Dang Dang Dang.
Mulali walked in: "Sir, Your Excellency Sanfiz is here to visit."
"Sanfis is here?" Duke was slightly surprised, "Ask him to come in."
"Hey, Duke, I didn't expect that, I came to see you." Sanfis yelled as soon as he entered the door, "You are such a lucky boy, you actually live on the same floor as the girl in the sky. I have been dreaming about her for the past few nights!"
It is normal for Sanfis, who takes eating soft rice as his lifelong goal, to miss Kylia Raging Waves.
Duke squinted his eyes. In fact, in the past two days, he occasionally dreamed of Kylia, participating in some unspeakable scenes.
My fair lady, a gentleman loves you.
This is human nature.
"Why are you here? Have you chosen a new mage tower?" Duke asked, putting aside any distracting thoughts in his mind.
"I have no idea. After studying card making for two years, I suddenly gave up. I really don't know what new direction to choose." Sanfis said, putting the things in his hand on the table, "You asked me to evaluate the portable lamp for you. I have already evaluated it."
"Oh, how?"
"Better than the Spiritual Wind Lamp, it is more convenient to carry, and the lighting effect is also better. I also took a night trip on purpose, and it is much better than the Spiritual Wind Lamp in lighting the road. I believe that it will not worry about sales when it is produced."
"Your evaluation has greatly boosted my confidence."
"Hey, let's not talk about this, how about Kiria?" Sanfis just used the portable lamp as an introduction, but his attention was all on the beauty.
"How about what?"
"Appearance, personality, figure..."
Looking at Sanfiz’s face like a pig, Duke felt a little disgusted for some reason. He didn’t feel that way when he helped Sanfiz ask Joanna Lynx before.
"Perhaps... possessiveness." Duke thought to himself.
On the surface, he said indifferently: "Sanfis, it's useless to inquire about this. You can't grasp a lady like Kiriya at all."
"How do you know I can't grasp it!"
“A judgment based on my many years of life experience.”
Shan Feisi sneered: "You are only seventeen years old, what life experience do you have, stories of rich girls and poor boys emerge endlessly, how do you know you are not talking about me?"
"Because Kylia has eyes."
"What if she goes blind!"
"Then I have nothing to say." Duke resisted the urge to roll his eyes, feeling that Sanfiz was hopeless.
Sanfis stared at Duke carefully, and after a long while suddenly realized: "I understand, no wonder you are so rude today. It turns out that you, like me, have plans for Kylia...Let me just say, your ambition is no less than mine."
Duke was noncommittal.
Sanfis glared at Duke angrily at first, then languished like a punctured balloon, sighed and said, "Compared to me, except that you are a little tender, you are indeed better than me in all aspects, especially your appearance has the potential of being a good boy."
"Although it's not a nice thing to say, you still have some self-knowledge after all." Duke gave Sanfis a middle finger.
"Forget it, brother won't fight with you anymore, Kylia is yours!" Sanfis made a decision, and he felt relaxed all of a sudden.
Duke said: "Kilia doesn't belong to anyone, she is herself. I just have a little thought, but not much. At this stage, cultivation and making money are more important than talking about love. You can't reverse the priorities."
"This is the idea of a genius arcanist like you. For me, finding a good woman to start a family and a career is the most important thing."
"Isn't the spiritual mystery not good?"
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk, I'm leaving, and I won't come to this place that makes me sad in the future." Shan Feisi left lightly.
Come when you want, leave when you want.
At this moment, Duke felt that Sanfis was living a free and easy life, a bit like his previous life, eating and playing as he wanted.
However, enough has been played on Earth, and now Duke just wants to change his way to realize his self-worth in this magnificent and extraordinary world.
…
"After you go back, do more research on arcane shields. This is your spectacle. Combined with the structure of the spectacle, it will help you make arcane shield cards more intuitively."
"Yes, mentor."
After returning from class in Penrose's office, Duke applied for a batch of blank spiritual cards and a batch of special spiritual materials, and returned to his office to study them carefully.
"Xiao Yi, have you summed up what the instructor said?"
"Yes Master."
"Then let's start, and try to make the arcane shield spirit card as soon as possible." Duke began to work, first of all to deploy the spirit material.
The spell model of the arcane card cannot be engraved by spiritual power alone.
It must be blended with the spirituality and spiritual energy of special spiritual materials to form spiritual power with special attributes, so as to draw and engrave energy lines.
The operation is more than ten times more complicated than that of civilian cards.
He and Xiaoyi needed a lot of exploration before they could sum up the experience of successfully making arcane cards. Every spiritual card that melted down after failure would provide a little experience.
"fail!"
"Again!"
"Master, here I suggest you use the black-horn whisker solution, mix it with spiritual energy at a ratio of 1:3, and extract the whisker spiritual power to draw energy lines."
"no problem."
Duke directly absorbed a little goat's whisker solution with a psychic pen, and then poured his own spiritual energy into the psychic pen to form a brand new spiritual power-sheep's whisker spiritual power.
Put the psychic pen deep into the pressure ring instrument, and draw a new energy line along the track of the previous energy line.
The pressure ring instrument works, presses the energy line into the position of the card core, and connects with the previous energy line as a whole.
"It didn't collapse, it's beautiful, and we have succeeded one step further." Duke smiled with satisfaction, "Hurry up and analyze the success factors, and then we will proceed to the next step."
Failed again and again, succeeded a little bit.
Duke had forgotten the existence of time until the little assistant knocked on the door and came in: "Boss, Marotav Sage Mage Tower, a package for you."
"Take it apart for me." Duke was drawing a new spirit card.
"Okay." Mu Lali quickly opened the package, and inside was a sample magazine and a letter, "Sir, the latest issue of "Runwu City Spirit Card" sample magazine, and a letter to you, your paper has been published!"
Puff Chi.
A wisp of white smoke came out of the Ling card in the pressure ring tester. Duke's face remained calm, he clapped his hands, and took the letter.
The letter is a thank-you letter in a unified format, in the name of the editorial department, thanking Duke for his contribution to the paper.
However, looking at the content of thanks above, Duke's frustrated mood of failing to make the card improved in an instant: "It took more than a month, and it was finally issued."
He put down the thank you letter and flipped through the latest issue of "Runwu City Spirit Card" sample.
I found the location of my thesis on the catalog page, in the middle of the express section, not very front or very back.
"It's not a paper, it's just a bulletin..." Duke felt a little regretful.
Academic journals such as "Runwucheng Lingka" generally do not publish the full text of every reviewed paper, but only extract a part, which belongs to the express category. Only papers with sufficient influence will be published in full.
After thinking about it carefully, Duke was relieved that his thesis was nothing new, it just had some practical value for reference.
According to the catalog index, turn to the corresponding page number.
"Analysis of Practical Spiritual Materials for New Strange Spiritual Beasts in Cuihai Valley", communication, author-Duke, address-Penrose Mage Tower.
A total of two pages, positive and negative, excerpted the main content of the paper, as well as the valuable experimental data of spiritual materials.
At the end of the article, a paragraph of fine print is attached: "This paper has been collected in the Faling Pagoda of Runwu City and the Faling Pagoda of Shenjiao City. The author is a Penrose Master Tower in Shenjiao City - an Austrian law scholar stationed in the tower. The mailing address of Penrose Master Tower is as follows..."
After reading the content, Duke closed the journal sample and handed it to Mu Lali: "Put it on my bookshelf, and set aside a separate row."
"Understood, sir, this is the first paper you published, sir, and it has great commemorative significance."
"It's just a random paper, not worth mentioning." Duke said modestly, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Mage Tower has subscribed to the journal "Runwu City Spirit Card?"
"Subscribed."
"Well, when this issue is released, you go to Faling Pagoda to order a few more copies, and send them to the mentor, mentor and several arcane masters, and let them review one or two."
"Yeah!" Mu Lali nodded solemnly.
Such an honorable event, even if Duke didn't order it, she would still publicize it widely so that Duke's colleagues could take a good look at it.
Especially give Kiria Raging Waves a copy.
Do everything fast!
"Ms. Kiriya and Mr. are like a match made in heaven, but their personal relationship is a bit dull, and I have to help you figure it out."
"Ms. Kiria is so approachable. If she can become the husband's wife, I, as the husband's lover, should have a good life too... Hee hee, I really look forward to the arrival of that day... But the husband is really a lump of elm, and the methods my aunt taught me don't work!"
Pata.
He got a chestnut on his head.
Duke frowned and looked at the little assistant: "What are you thinking, I told you to put the journal away, why don't you put it away?"
"Oh, I'll go right away." Mu Lali stuck out her tongue secretly, and ran away quickly.
Duke looked at her frizzy appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "A little girl from aristocratic background, she has never suffered, and she is not stable enough in doing things...but it is enough to be pleasing to the eye."
A sixteen-year-old girl, her body has developed very well recently.
The little **** is twisted and twisted, which is quite attractive.
Looking away, Duke put aside his distracting thoughts and continued to devote himself to the experiment of making the Arcane Shield Spirit Card, concentrating on it.
…
"Ms. Kiria, my husband recently published a paper, let me show you a taste or two." Mu Lali put the brand new "Runwu City Spirit Card" on the table.
Along with it, there is also a printed full paper.
Kilia smiled gently: "Congratulations Duke, the paper is published so soon, I will definitely read the research carefully."
"Then I won't bother you, goodbye."
After Mu Lali left, Kiria's assistant, a middle-aged woman, said with a light smile, "Miss, it's really amazing that Your Excellency Duke can publish a paper at such a young age."
"yes."
"I have inquired that his exclusive meditation method has nine visions, and has been reorganized very early, and he has also comprehended the guardian · mysterious vine."
"Speaking of which, I really admire him for his good understanding." Kylia frowned slightly, "I played in the Union Tower since I was a child, and so far I still haven't been able to comprehend the Guardian and Mysterious Vine. I only comprehended the two visions through meditation."
"Miss, when you reorganize your exclusive meditation method, you will have six visions, which is already very good." The assistant said.
"There are only six kinds, more than the upper and less than the lower."
"Miss, I grew up watching you. The adults in the family say that your talent is the most like that of the master, and the master is the best at accumulating wealth. Miss, you must also be able to accumulate wealth." The assistant said with a smile, "A temporary gain or loss is nothing."
"I'm not discouraged, Aunt Jiss." Kilia responded, "I've always been praised since I was a child, but now I have someone I can chase after, and I'm very happy instead."
"Yes, Your Excellency Duke, like that leader of Leadman, is a true scholar who sincerely studies spiritual mysteries and will definitely achieve something. Unlike others, he is too eager to follow suit, especially that leader of Vikas."
"Assistant Vikas is a little too enthusiastic, but he can grasp the measure, and he can get some convenience in all aspects."
"Miss, you are so smart, you can see everything clearly." Assistant Jisi said, "I can rest assured and concentrate on taking care of your daily life."
Kiliya looked at the "Runwu City Spirit Card" on the table.
Flipping to the middle, I found Duke's thesis, and then opened the full paper that smelled like ink and was just printed.
Thirteen pages of thesis, not too long.
After a while, Kylia finished reading the paper. She put down the paper and rested her chin with one hand. While looking at the scenery outside the window, she thought: "The paper is a bit boring, and the lines are meticulous, very similar to Duke."
It has been more than a week since she came to Penrose Master Tower to study.
Except for eating and getting off work, I can meet Duke every day, but I can’t see Duke at all, either in the office or in the laboratory.
"I'm really obsessed with spiritual mysteries."
She was so emotional.
But the object of emotion, Duke, did not stay in the Mage Tower to indulge in spiritual mysteries today, but went to Duke-James Farm.
"Boss James, you have often been to Snakeshead Town recently, what's going on there, are the mercenaries still crowded in the town?"
"Isn't it? The streets are in chaos. If the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon is not hunted, the Cuihai Valley will not be able to recover. The fifteen safe camps have all been abandoned. Alas, the safe camps will have to be reopened at some point."
James sighed a little.
He also plans to use Duke's reputation to flex his muscles in the future Cuihai Town and become a farm tycoon.
Now it seems that the establishment of Cuihai Town seems to be in the foreseeable future.
"It's not easy to hunt the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, you should focus on this for the time being."
"That's the only way to go."
"How is the growth of Yulu?" Duke strolled in the farm shed, and Xiaoyi hung up the phone to breathe, knowing the surrounding situation at a glance.
But it's time to ask.
James replied: "The situation is very good. There are already the first batch of Yulu, which has been infected by Ji Yulu and became a 0-ring spiritual plant. I plan to use Ji Yulu as the center and divide it into three areas. The outer layer will be sold as long as it evolves to 0 rings, the middle layer will be sold when it evolves to 0 rings and can sort out the aura, and the inner layer will be sold after evolving to 1 ring."
He pointed to the shed where Ji Yulu was grown: "As for the Yulu in this shed, I don't plan to sell them, I plan to raise them. If they can grow to the second ring, it will also be of great help to Ji Yulu's own evolution."
"Well, that's a good plan." Duke agreed.
Then he talked about his reason for coming: "Looking back, you are at the western border of the farm, planning a piece of land to build a breeding greenhouse, and I am going to raise a group of ants here."
"Raising ants?"
"Crypt marching ants, I recently contracted a crypt marching queen, and I plan to domesticate the ant colony in the way of controlling Gu."
"Well, my lord, will these ants bite people?" James trembled undetectably, "Crypt army ants are very dangerous existences. Go crazy, and all the workers on our farm combined can't have enough to eat."
He experienced the invasion of insect swarms in Snake Head Town, and saw many farmers being swallowed up by ants, leaving no scum.
"I won't take the safety of the workers as a joke. I will tame the queen ants in advance and put them here for breeding. When the time comes, you can comfort the workers and give them some wages." Duke said, "You just need to plan the land. I will arrange for people to build the breeding shed."
Crypt marching ants live underground. Duke will dig an underground breeding area at that time, and then come to train the ant colony himself.
"I understand. I will follow the instructions of the adults and plan the breeding greenhouse." James replied.
While chatting, a group of knights came galloping in the distance.
Duke looked over.
James said immediately: "It's Captain Vivienne, who is training your knight guard, as if he is practicing some kind of joint attack formation."
"I know."
This was Duke's idea.
After the last insect swarm invasion, Vivienne was the captain of the knight guard, but she couldn't protect Duke, so she asked to commute with Duke every day.
Duke did not agree. He came to work in the Penrose Mage Tower, not to show off.
But Vivienne strongly demanded that she didn't want to live in a villa for free, but she couldn't resist her stubbornness, so Duke let her go with her during the day, but the destination was arranged at Duke-James Farm, where knight training took place.
Once something happens, you can rush to the mage tower for protection as soon as possible.
"My lord!" Vivienne led the team at a gallop, and she had already seen Duke.
Following behind her were five great knights, all of whom were her recently recruited subordinates, three men and two women, who stayed after several layers of screening.
Not every great knight has the opportunity to protect the arcanist.
"You have worked hard, Vivian will follow me, and the others will continue to train." Duke signaled Vivian to stay and patrol the farm with him.
Patrol in a circle.
Duke rejected James' invitation to dinner, took Vivienne with him, and took a shuttle to his other business—the Light Giant Spirit Tool Company.
"Mr. Duke, this is the latest concept portable light." Vuillard glanced at his daughter standing behind Duke, and then concentrated on explaining the latest products of the company's R&D department. "After incorporating the built-in storage card, the cost cannot be reduced, so we can only take the high-end route."
Duke signaled his entourage to take a few portable lamps, and prepared to find an opportunity to give them away to advertise the portable lamps.
Little assistant Mu Lali also got a portable lamp: "It's so beautiful, sir."
Vial took another look at Murali. Compared with his rigid daughter, Duke's personal assistant is much more lively, lovely and lovable.
This made him feel a little sad.
I can only think on the bright side: "Vivian's down-to-earth personality is more reassuring, and her figure is also better. Perhaps these are more attractive to Mr. Duke."
Take it easy.
He continued to listen to Duke’s speech. Duke, who said he would not intervene in the company’s operations, had many opinions: “Don’t just stare at the portable lights. I think the company wants to open up the market as soon as possible in the early stage. It should start with big customers, such as the Hebbit Spirit Mine Company.”
"Do you mean to sell miner's lamps and headlamps to Hippidil Mining Company?"
"That's right. The miner's lamp and headlamp we designed have very obvious advantages in underground operations. The purchasers of Hebedi are not fools, so they know how to choose."
"I will ask the R&D department to produce different designed lamps as soon as possible, and then arrange people to sell them to major organizations."
"You send me a few copies of the headlamp and miner's lamp, and I'll sell them directly to Lord Erwin." Duke said.
The chief director of the Erudite Tower and the director of the Hippidil Spirit Mine Company, Erwin Earth Arcane Master, has recruited him twice.
Although Duke does not intend to change his family, since the other party favors him so much, it is not a friendly response to sell products to him.
"Although I am not working under your command, I am also promoting natural history." Duke thought in his heart, "As a senior in natural history, it is the meaning of the question to support the younger generation. Wouldn't it be appropriate to purchase a batch of miner's lamps and headlamps?"
Hearing the name of Erwin Earth Arcane Master, Vuillard immediately exclaimed: "If the lamp can be displayed on Lord Erwin's desk, the reputation of the Giant of Light Spirit Tool Company will surely rise and become a household name!"
To put it bluntly, if there is a live broadcast with goods here, Erwin is definitely top-notch.
The public may not have heard the name of Keyston Rage, but they definitely know who Erwin of the Tower of Knowledge is.
Any kind of spiritual weapon, if you hang "recommended by Mr. Erwin", the public will make no choice.
Duke warned again: "If you want to include Mr. Erwin in the publicity plan, you must first present it to me for review, and I will allow it to be publicized."
"Mr. Duke, please rest assured that this matter concerns a great arcanist, and we will never dare to mess around." Vial said cautiously.
"In short, I will do my best to promote the company and help the company get on the right track as soon as possible, but you must ensure the quality of the products and don't lose my face." What Duke wants is to become bigger and stronger, not to run away just to make a fortune.
Vuillard solemnly guarantees that the product quality will be the first priority.
Duke left satisfied.
On the way back to the Mage Tower in the shuttle, he said to Vivian again: "In the future, the guard knight team can go to the Light Giant Spirit Tool Company for a while, and help to watch the scene, so as to prevent Xiaoxiao people from coming to destroy it."
Business competition is often unpretentious.
Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory, which has already monopolized the city's spiritual tool market, may not be willing to see the rise of the Giant of Light, even if it only produces a single lamp.
Sending people over to do some damage is perfectly normal.
