Chapter 195 Cuihai Valley Research Team
The horseshoes are galloping, and the dust is flying.
The weather in May has begun to heat up, but riding a horse at high speed and blowing the wind is refreshing.
Staying in the office for a long time to do research almost made Duke forget that he was still a knight.
At this time, galloping along with the guarding knights, Dou Qi connects itself with the spirit horse that has signed the master-slave contract, and has entered the realm of unity of man and horse, galloping in the bushes is like galloping on the prairie, galloping indulgently without hindrance.
"Raise the gun!" Vivienne, the leader, shouted, and raised the spear hanging on the horse's back with one hand, pointing the tip of the gun forward.
Duke and others raised their spears one after another.
For a while, with Vivienne as the leader, the formation maintained a diamond-shaped distribution, and the grudges emitted by the knights were also connected as a whole with the movement of raising their guns.
"Record and analyze." Duke ordered Xiaoyi while feeling the charm of the formation of knights.
"Master, Xiaoyi is recording, and the analysis results will be presented later."
At this time, Vivian suddenly turned around and shouted: "My lord, "Imperial Dragon Cavalry Spear", keep your full attention and don't be distracted!"
"Understood!" Duke put away his distracting thoughts, and stopped distracting Xiaoyi.
After the knights' battle qi was connected as a whole, it was obvious that the battle qi began to resonate, and then a stronger mixed battle qi erupted.
This mixed grudge is stronger and more resilient, but at the same time it is more difficult to control.
The leader of the formation, that is, Vivienne, can only simply control this mixed grudge to launch an attack or defend.
"This is how knights fight." Duke felt awe-inspiring.
When the mixed battle qi was integrated in the way of "Imperial Dragon Cavalry Spear", he couldn't help but close his eyes, allowing the rhythm of his body to completely follow the mixed battle qi.
The sea of blood is surging, entering a mysterious state.
It seems that he himself has become a part of a knight's spear, held in the hands of others, and attacks with the actions of others.
Attack, attack, and attack.
The person holding the gun is Vivian, the leader of the team.
"Hold my gun..." Duke saw the surrounding scenery again.
But this time, it was from the perspective of a knight's spear, held in Vivienne's hand, aiming at the scene of fast speeding ahead.
Boom!
Vivienne led the formation of knights and attacked a big stone blocking the way ahead. The knights under the blessing of mixed fighting spirit also raised their lances and stabbed forward.
Duke, who was in a mysterious and mysterious state, felt that he was the knight's spear, and under Vivienne's grip, he ruthlessly plunged into the big rock in front of him.
Then a surging force erupted from his gun, smashing the big rock into powder.
The knight guards, with the same direction, rushed through the area where the powder was scattered, continued the next round of charge, and moved deeper into the bushes.
"I see!"
Duke had escaped from the mysterious and mysterious state when the boulder was blown to pieces, but he was still excited.
The unique substitution perspective just now is undoubtedly an epiphany.
Let him pry into the secrets of the knight's fighting spirit more deeply, and his own fighting spirit also skyrocketed, as if he had hammered it hundreds or thousands of times on weekdays, and the "Imperial Dragon Cavalry Lance" had already been perfected.
What surprised him even more.
He looked into the spiritual sea distractedly, and he could see in the spiritual sea, following the nine visions of small wild flowers, wheat seedlings, twigs, big ants, stones, whirlpools, white paper, rainbows, and spirit crystals, as well as the ever-growing guardian and mysterious vines.
Added a new vision - knight spear.
As if being held by someone, it keeps waving. The mysterious vine is winding around the spear, and it can't stop the dancing of the knight's spear.
"Ten kinds of visions, one kind of protection... What an unparalleled knight training!"
After a round of charging, Duke got a huge surprise, and felt that the next knight training was a bit boring.
In the final analysis, his identity is an arcane mage.
Knight training is more for exercising the body, rather than really going far and high with the knight—after all, no matter how high you are, can you still have a higher future than the arcanist?
"Vivian, let's end it." Duke interrupted the knight training, "I have already felt it, and I have made great progress, so I don't need to continue training."
Vivian was a little puzzled: "My lord, you have only charged once, and the "Imperial Dragon Cavalry Lance" didn't even have time to feel it clearly?"
"One charge is enough." Duke smiled slightly, seeing disbelief on the faces of several great knights, "If you don't believe me, then give it a try, whoever will fight with me in the "Imperial Dragon Lance". Although I am only a 0-ring knight, the attainment of the "Imperial Dragon Lance" is no worse than you."
The big knights responded one after another and dared not.
Duke named Vivienne: "Come on, the two of us have a charge!"
Vivian didn't think too much, and nodded directly in agreement: "My lord, please be careful, the spear has no eyes, and it is easy to collide and get injured."
"I have instant arcane, it doesn't matter." Duke said something that broke the hearts of the great knights.
The formation was set up, Duke and Vivian were riding horses, holding knight spears, about 100 meters apart, and then began to charge.
The grudge vibrated in the knight's spear.
The two of them became one, like two shooting stars penetrating space, colliding with each other in an instant, and then separated, continuing to sprint forward for dozens of meters before stopping.
"Again!" Duke yelled.
Vivienne didn't say a word, but her movements didn't stop at all, and she drove the spirit horse under the seat to charge Duke for the second round.
Two meteors reappear.
The onlookers couldn't help but marvel: "It's a tie, Lord Duke didn't use arcane defense!"
"We have all underestimated the grown-up. When we first started training together, his "Imperial Dragon Cavalry Lance" did stumble a bit, but looking at it now, it turns out that the fighting spirit is as one, and there is no flaw at all. Captain Vivienne is invulnerable."
"Duke pierced the "Imperial Dragon Cavalry Lance" in just one charge?" A female big knight couldn't believe it.
"Impossible, Lord Duke is a genius arcanist, but no one has ever heard of him as a genius knight. This speed of progress is too exaggerated."
"Even a genius knight, it is impossible to charge so much in one charge."
"But... it's true!" The big knight pointed to Vivienne and Duke who had charged each other for the fifth time.
Not long after Vivienne was promoted to the Grand Knight of the 1st Ring, facing an epiphany, Duke, who had become a proficient "Imperial Dragon Cavalry Lance", really had no choice.
Even though her grudge has changed qualitatively, she is far from being able to compare with Duke who is assisted by Xiaoyi in terms of skill use.
The sixth charge, still a tie.
Vivian wiped the sweat from her head, but did not launch the seventh charge. Being unable to attack for a long time meant that she had already been defeated.
"My lord, your "Imperial Dragon Cavalry Lance" has reached perfection, and I am no match."
"Although I have practiced fighting qi martial arts to the peak, the quality and durability of fighting qi are still not as good as your great knights. If I charge again, I will probably collapse." Duke told the truth, it is too difficult for a 0-ring knight to recklessly fight a 1-ring great knight.
If he was replaced by a skilled knight, he might be defeated with a single charge.
To be able to last for so long, the bully is that Vivian was promoted not long ago, her foundation is not stable, and her battle qi and martial arts skills have not been cultivated to the peak.
"My lord, your knight talent is astonishing!" The female grand knight walked over, sincerely admiring.
"No." Duke responded indifferently, "My knight talent is not strong, and my battle qi cultivation is slow. It all relies on contracted spirit beasts to feed me back... However, fighting qi cultivation does not depend entirely on talent and sweat. Only by knowing what it is and why it is so can we improve quickly."
Xiaoyi’s supercomputer has calculated the best method of combat energy operation, which is by no means comparable to that of a knight genius groping alone.
Besides, he had an epiphany once.
"Okay, you guys continue to practice, I'll go to the farm for a while." Duke waved his hand and rode away on his spirit horse, leaving behind a handsome back.
"I didn't understand what Lord Duke said." A middle-aged knight next to him scratched his neck.
The female great knight sighed: "My lord means that he has already understood all the mysteries of the "Imperial Dragon Cavalry Spear", so he can make rapid progress, but we can't understand the mysteries, so we can only rely on stupid methods to practice hard, of course the progress is slow."
Another female great knight nodded and echoed: "Is this the way of the masters of the Arcane Masters? Sure enough, it is better to have a good mind than to have a good body."
Vivienne had calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "My lord's way is not suitable for us. Continue to train at the original rhythm."
"Yes, Captain!"
…
"Master, can we live on the farm?" Levin suddenly said on the way back to Shuttle.
Duke glanced at Levin: "Do you want to live in the Duke-James farm, isn't it uncomfortable to live in the villa in Beverly Manor?"
"The villa is very good." Levin smiled innocently, not knowing how to describe it.
Duke concluded for him: "Is it because living in a villa is too restrictive, and the farm is more free?"
Levin nodded hurriedly: "Yeah."
Mulali asked curiously: "Levin, did someone bully you in the villa?"
"No."
"I understand Levin's thoughts." Duke interrupted Mu Lali, who wanted to ask again, "Sometimes I also miss the time on the farm. There are strict levels and strict rules in the city, and it is inevitable to wear shackles..."
The city has many conveniences, but there are also countless rules to abide by.
The farm is different, here there is no restriction, you can have fun on the ridge of the field, beside the small river, and even **** can be found in a hidden corner.
But Duke will not live on the farm anymore.
He needs the rich spiritual particles in the city. Only by living near a large spiritual spring can he meet the needs of the exclusive meditation method.
Master Penrose has an exclusive spiritual spring water pipe, which transports spiritual particles from a large spiritual spring, which can barely meet the needs of cultivation.
But Duke can’t connect a spiritual spring water pipe to his farm, and the monthly fee can make him go bankrupt directly.
"I can no longer enjoy the joy of the farm." Duke said with emotion.
Mulali suddenly said: "Sir, maybe not necessarily, maybe you still have a chance to live on the farm."
"How should I say it, Xiao Lili."
"I remember that there are many small spiritual springs around Shenjiao City, and many mage towers are built on top of the small spiritual springs. The output is enough for the needs of the mage towers, and even the water pipes of the spiritual springs are omitted." Mu Lali said, "there are two adjacent small spiritual springs under the mage tower of Ms. Kylia's house."
Spiritual springs are divided into top spiritual springs, large spiritual springs, medium spiritual springs and small spiritual springs according to their size.
Top-level springs are rare in number, and if one is found, a large central city that can accommodate tens of millions of people can be built, such as Runwu City in the Wind Breath field.
Large springs can meet the living needs of three to four million people, and Shenjiao City is built on large springs.
The medium-sized spring can meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of people and is suitable for building a market town.
As for the small springs, it may only be enough for a few thousand people, which is suitable for arcanists to build family manors or mage towers here.
But even if it’s just a small spring, it’s priceless, and it’s not what Duke can hope for now.
"Sir, there is not only one way to obtain a small spiritual fountain."
"Any other way?"
"Adventure income." Mu Lali said the information she knew, "Sir, do you still remember Your Excellency Roroya Snow Eagle?"
"Of course not."
"Xuegu Town, the fiefdom of the Snow Eagle family, has a mage tower nearby, called Outlets Mage Tower, which is owned by Outlets, a spiritual plant scholar. The existence of this mage tower is earlier than Xuegu Town. It was discovered and occupied by the ancestors of Outlets before the pioneering war."
According to the development policy of the Seven Towers Federation.
In the territory that the Federation has opened up, all newly discovered spiritual springs belong to the Federation, and private mining is prohibited.
But the spiritual springs outside the federal territory, the top, large, and medium-sized spiritual springs, need to launch a pioneering war to plunder, and then build cities, or entrust them to nobles to establish market towns as appropriate.
Only the small spiritual spring, whoever can occupy it first, will own it.
But because these small spiritual springs will be invaded by spirit beasts, no one can occupy them firmly except arcanists.
This policy is also to encourage the arcanists to expand outward.
Often, after the small springs outside the country are occupied by the arcanist, the arcanist will explore the surrounding area. If a medium-sized spring can be found, a war of expansion can be promoted. When the federal territory is expanded, the small spring will also be included in the territory.
In this way, the small spring can be protected by the Federation and become a place of inheritance for generations of the Arcane Master family.
The Mage Tower of the Outlets family was established in this way. First, the ancestors of the Arcane Master discovered and occupied a small spring, and then found a medium-sized spring in the surrounding area.
It's a pity that the ancestors of the Arcane Masters were not strong enough to launch a pioneering war, and finally let the Xueying family divide and establish Xuegu Town.
However, because of the establishment of Xuegu Town, the Outlets family also gained shelter and no longer feared the invasion of spirit beasts, so they built the mage tower and enjoyed the small spring exclusively as a non-noble.
"Sir, if we can find a new small spiritual spring in the wild and occupy it, we can build a farm." Mu Lali said with longing. Although she prefers villas in the city, it would be very romantic to have a farm in the wild.
Duke couldn't help giving her a snap of his fingers: "Do you think we are living too comfortably now, and want to go to the wild to occupy the spiritual spring?"
The field is not something a 1-ring arcanist like him can stand.
In case of encountering a high-level spirit beast, there is no need for a sub-dragon like the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, nor the 7-ring Black Jade Scorpion King, just a 5-ring Black Jade Scorpion can kill him.
Bynes, the life scholar who was expelled from the Faling Pagoda at the beginning, is also a 1st-ring arcane mage. He only dared to hide around the Snake Head Town, and did not dare to go deep into the wild outside the federal border. Even if he has the six-legged spirit puppet Jar beside him, he still has to be careful.
The wild forest in the wild can really eat people.
"Just thinking about it." Mu Lali rubbed her forehead with a smile, "Sir, sooner or later you will be promoted to the 2nd ring or even the 3rd ring. By then, your strength will increase greatly, and you will be able to go to the wild to occupy land... It's a pity that the emerald sea valley development war has already started, and the surrounding small spiritual springs are all owned by the Federation. Otherwise, you can occupy one."
"Don't think about it, if you really want to be promoted, I will also choose to buy a small spring around Shenjiao City instead of going to the wild."
Zhuge has been cautious all his life.
Duke’s principle is to be able to live as long as possible, and living a long life is more important than anything else.
"However, Levin." He pulled the topic back, smiled and turned around and patted Levin's leg. "If you want to live on the farm, learn to drive as soon as possible. In the future, you can drive by yourself with a small pocket and white gloves to play on the farm. It just so happens that my spirit horse is also raised on the farm."
"Well, I'll learn to drive soon!" Levine laughed happily.
"Chichi!" Xiaodou also became excited, the small Beverly Manor could no longer satisfy its desire to run around.
In the slightly crowded shuttle, Mu Lali leaned towards Duke.
Duke took advantage of the opportunity to pinch the pink hand of the little assistant, and the comfort of life was evident in the smile on the corner of his mouth, which was self-evident.
…
In mid-May, a heavy rain came suddenly.
The spiritual vegetation outside the house was rattled by the raindrops, and the awning on the large terrace was also rattled.
But it didn't affect the house at all. Duke, who was repairing the 3-ring arcane card, was picking up a pen.
The idea has always been that Xiaoyi is designing, and Duke is only responsible for execution, so it will not be disturbed by the heavy rain outside.
"Fixed." After a while, he shut down the packet machine.
A 3-ring arcane card was successfully repaired, and 200 golden dragons were obtained. Duke felt that the balance of his spirit dragon card would increase rapidly after a while.
"Make money, it's easy for me!"
Little Tsundere for a while, he pushed open the glass door and came to the big terrace where the heavy rain still didn't stop, the fighting spirit armor naturally condensed.
With the scorching heat of the fire attribute, all the raindrops that have not yet fallen on the body are evaporated.
The evaporated water vapor is cooled and condensed by new raindrops, and then slides down to the ground along the edge of the evaporating water vapor.
At this moment, the fighting spirit armor is like a poncho, keeping out the rainstorm.
Walking all the way to the edge of the large terrace, facing the open space in the yard, stretched out his right hand, and slowly shook it, forming a huge fluorescent hand.
Grab forward and mix air with raindrops for a direct burst.
"Master is really hardworking." The housekeeper Milena, who was baking bread, couldn't help admiring when she saw the big shiny hands bursting in the yard from the window.
The housekeeper, Morris, helped his wife, and said with a smile: "Diligent and talented, our master will definitely become a great arcanist."
"Yes." Milena said with hope, "I heard from Mu Lali that the daughter of the Nutao family is next to the master's office. If they can live together, they are a perfect match."
Morris said, "It's difficult."
The outstanding descendants of the Nutao family usually marry with big families in other cities, and only ordinary descendants will start a family in this city.
Thinking of this, Morris shook his head and said: "Don't make up the master behind your back, we will take on the responsibility of housekeeping, and the master has his own opinions on the matter of the master."
"Master is too young, I can't help but think of him as...Morris, you said it would be great if we had a child too."
"It's okay to be like this now, let's bake the bread, don't get mushy." Morris patted his wife on the shoulder and comforted him softly.
Duke naturally couldn't understand the warmth of the housekeeper and his wife.
He practiced the mage's hand for two full hours on the big terrace, and he has a new experience in the strength, direction, and speed of the mage's hand.
However, if you want to cultivate the mage's hand into your own third hand, you still need a long time of immersion.
The degree of arcane release is not only related to experience, but also related to the arcanist's own cognition of spiritual arcana.
Every improvement in cognition can be fed back to all aspects.
"Ouch, Duke!" The chicken suddenly swam over and shouted, "Why is my goddaughter a specimen, why are you so cruel!"
"Please, can you be smarter." Duke said speechlessly, "That's pupation. Xiaohong has already pupated from the larva stage, and is about to break out of the cocoon and become an adult."
"Really, that's a chrysalis, I thought you killed my goddaughter."
"Don't mention that Xiaohong is your goddaughter. Every time you come out, you don't even think to take a look at your goddaughter, and you don't even know when it will pupate."
"It's not your fault. Every time I call me out, it's a body-fitting practice. After the body-fitting, I'm exhausted. How can I remember Xiaohong." The chicken shook its thick tail and roared confidently, "And Xiaohong is a bad guy, and I didn't respond to it when I talked to it!"
"Because it's just a worm now, without any thinking ability... It seems that you have forgotten the red branch."
Chicken replied with a guilty conscience: "I didn't, I didn't forget the red branch!"
"You have no conscience."
"fart!"
"You don't even mention your grandma much."
"Shit, what you said is shit, I miss grandma in my heart every day." Chick found a point to refute, "It's you, you are too weak to save my grandma, why did I make a contract with you, I should make a contract with Keyston Raging Wave!"
Chicken glanced at Duke with contempt: "He can save my grandma by stretching out his fingers!"
"A big green-skinned tadpole without a conscience." Duke grabbed the chick directly, and then stuffed it into his belly, "I made a contract with me, but I still think about others, go back and reflect... Do you know what a potential stock is? My future is beyond the reach of Keyston!"
Having said that, Duke is still a bit overwhelmed by the chicken's words.
The future is naturally promising, and it cannot be denied that he is really desperate at the moment, and he dare not approach Cuihai Valley at will.
"Green Sea Valley..."
Duke didn't expect that when the weekend passed, he went to work at the Penrose Master Tower. At the morning meeting every Monday, the Penrose mentor announced that he would go to the Emerald Sea Valley again.
"The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon was seriously injured, and it has been hiding to recuperate now. Cuihai Valley is safe for the time being." Penrose said solemnly, "Recently, many mercenary groups have entered and left Cuihai Valley, and found that Cuihai Valley has undergone some mysterious changes."
Paused, he continued: "This time, we are going to Cuihai Valley to investigate these mysterious changes in response to the call of the United Tower."
Olianna immediately asked: "Mentor, it must be related to the incident in the No. 3 well area?"
Penrose shook his head: "I don't know yet. In short, this time I went to the Emerald Sea Valley to investigate the mysterious changes. The danger is not great. Lord Keystone's battleship will hover over the Emerald Sea Valley to deal with possible emergencies at any time."
Having said that, Orianna and the others are still a little uneasy.
Even Duke is a little fuzzy, and he doesn't want to take risks in Cuihai Valley. The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon isn't dead yet.
Penrose didn't seem to see the concerns of the arcane masters, and said indifferently: "Kilia, you should follow along and increase your knowledge."
Kilia replied: "Yes, mentor."
Olianna smiled suddenly: "Kilia, you will follow me when the time comes, we will have a companion in the wild."
Director Vikas also said with a smile: "The field is the best classroom, and you can learn a lot of new things."
No one objected to this trip, and Duke also felt at ease. Kylia accompanied him, which meant that Keyston would watch him at any time.
As soon as there is danger, they will rush to support immediately.
Security is fully guaranteed.
I recommended a new book to a friend, "I Am the Only True Immortal in the World". I never thought that Fang Yi would become the only true immortal in the world when his youth bloomed that night.
