Chapter 204 I'm just a little faster
"Alchemy, as the name suggests, is the time when the early arcane masters were still in chaos, and they used some means to refine stones into gold."
"Now, alchemy affects real matter by changing the properties of spirituality."
"Matter can be refined into spirituality, and spirituality can also be refined into substance. The material of the arcane weapon is the simplest alchemy. As long as there is a ring structure of the arcane weapon, even a spiritual apprentice can carry out an alchemy."
Suktara Castle at night, in Tower 1, Suktara is teaching alchemy knowledge seriously.
Duke became a good student and listened carefully.
With the assistance of Xiaoyi, she can basically solve any problem, and she has an unforgettable memory and ear, showing her genius demeanor to the fullest.
"I knew that you are very suitable for studying the field of alchemy, child, your understanding in this field is really outstanding." Suktara was full of praise for Duke, and felt that it was a spiritual blessing to meet such a student when her life was about to come to an end.
"It's the teacher, you teach well." Duke complimented.
He could feel the urgency of Suktara, as if he wanted to fill the duck, and gave Duke all the knowledge he had learned all his life.
Another person would definitely not be able to bear this kind of enthusiasm, only Duke would not refuse anyone.
No matter how much knowledge Suktarasai came over, it was nothing more than expanding Xiaoyi's database a little more, and it wouldn't affect Duke.
So this kind of teaching is what he wished for.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The teaching atmosphere is harmonious and warm.
"Son, it would be great if the teacher could meet you sooner." Suktara was delighted, but also a little regretful, "I am already getting old, and living another twenty years may be a luxury, and I may not be able to see you make a difference in the field of alchemy."
"Teacher, you don't have to be so pessimistic, everything is possible, right?"
"Yes, everything is possible. In the field of spiritual mysticism, everything is possible." Suktara calmed down, "Then let's continue teaching, where did we just talk... In the eyes of alchemists, the ring is the cognition of spiritual mysticism, which is branded in the spiritual sea..."
Huan, as an integration of the field of spiritual mysteries, scholars in different fields view it in different ways.
Alchemists associate it with alchemy methods, and believe that the ring has the ability to appear in the real world.
According to the theory of the spiritual sea, the spiritual sea really exists, and the spiritual sea of every arcane master is a projection of the spiritual sea. Since the spiritual sea is a projection, there are traces to use the projection to affect the real spiritual sea in turn.
This is Suktara's research, and what she studies is the material for replicating the ring in the real world.
Her goal in life is to use the means that can only be mastered by great arcane mages—the ring of projection. Through the optimization of materials, ordinary low-level, intermediate, and high-level arcane mages have the opportunity to master it, thereby creating a new situation in alchemy.
It is undeniable that this goal is too ambitious.
Once it is completed, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to the overall situation of the Arcane Master, and at least it can greatly reduce the cost of the Arcane Master's action.
Arcane mages with ring 3 and below master the ring of projection, which means that there are another group of arcanists who can open up the wild forest without fear of death. Anyway, if the Ring of Projection is destroyed, it will only lose a lot of materials and energy, which is the most important thing for arcanists.
"Teacher." Duke asked a little question during the teaching from time to time.
This is not his own question, but Xiaoyi notified Duke when he encountered data that could not be judged when summarizing.
Duke asked again.
"What are the differences between spiritual gold and spiritual materials in alchemy techniques? How to embed spiritual materials in spiritual gold to assist the transition from spiritual gold to special arcane materials?"
"That's a good question. This is the knowledge I'm going to teach you next." Suktara said with a smile. She really likes Duke who can infer other things from one instance and ask questions non-stop. She wished that this was her own junior.
Teaching continues in a cheerful atmosphere.
It was already very late at night, butler Su Li personally came to inform that it was time to rest.
Looking at Suktara who still wanted to continue teaching, Duke hurriedly got up and said, "Teacher, you should go to bed early, you can't let your body break down."
"I'm so fragile, don't underestimate the physical fitness of a 3rd-ring arcane mage." Suktara was still thinking, but he also understood that the night was too late, "Okay, I'll teach you here today. Duke, you are still growing your body, so you can't delay."
When Duke turned to go out, she followed up with another order: "Duke, continue tomorrow."
"Um, yes, teacher."
Wiping the unwarranted sweat from his brow, Duke hurried out to prevent the old lady from trying to drag him to teach again.
Suddenly, in the corridor outside the door, I saw a familiar person.
"Your Excellency Su Laier." Duke greeted with a smile.
The other party is the actual person in charge of the Suktara Mage Tower, and also a descendant of Suktara—Although Suktara has no children, he has cultivated the descendants of his elder brother and younger brother as his own descendants, and helped manage the property.
Su Laier was about forty years old, just an ordinary spiritual apprentice. After seeing Duke, he bowed slightly and saluted, but did not speak.
The lights in the corridor are a bit dim.
Hit Su Laier on the face, giving people a gloomy feeling.
Duke passed by Su Laier, his eyes narrowed involuntarily. He may not be able to see Su Laier’s expression clearly because of the lighting, but Xiaoyi can use computing power to assist lighting to clearly present Su Laier’s expression.
"It seems that these juniors of the teacher don't welcome me very much." He thought silently in his heart.
Obviously, people like Sulaier regard the Suktara Mage Tower as their own property.
The arrival of Duke and the favor of Suktara will undoubtedly have a certain impact on their control of the Suktara Mage Tower.
But Duke didn't think too much, he didn't have the idea of coming to fight for the mage tower.
The knowledge brought to him by Suktara is the most precious wealth. It is just a mage tower, and it is not impossible for him to build it himself in the future.
"Little Lili, come back." In the compartment, calling Mu Lali, who was already dozing off, Duke left Tower 1.
Go back to your Tower 2 to rest.
At the same time, Sulaier also walked into Suktara's room. After seeing Suktara, he immediately put on a respectful smile: "Grandma, why don't you rest? You must take care of your health and don't stay up late."
"Don't worry, little Su Laier, grandma is in good health." Suktara sat in front of the desk and sorted out the materials and the knowledge to be taught tomorrow.
"Why do you always do this? It's just teaching students. Isn't it the same to teach when you have free time?"
"That's different. I finally found an eye-catching student. From now on, I will teach him everything I have learned in my life."
Suktara spoke casually.
But Su Laier couldn't help but clenched his fist when he heard it, and then smiled and said, "It's really not worth your hard work. You're just an ordinary student. Although he has the reputation of a genius arcane master, he has too many miscellaneous things, so he may not be willing to listen to your teaching."
"Oh, what do you mean?" Suktara raised his head and asked with a half-smile.
Su Laier smiled and said: "You can just teach him casually first, and see if he is true to himself. I think Duke is too young to bear the burden of being a successor. This kid is ambitious, starting a company and making inventions..."
"So." Suktara quickly turned cold, "I won't train him, should I train you? I'd like to train you, but are you worthy?"
"Eh, you always say that..."
"Su Laier, don't think that grandma can be fooled by you casually because she is old. I didn't care about it before, so I followed you. From now on, the rules of the mage tower have to be changed, and you don't want to act recklessly just because you are my junior."
Su Laier panicked when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, who dares to fool you!"
Suktara said indifferently: "Don't dare to be the best, remember to me, I read it for the sake of your dear great-grandfather, so that you can live here without worrying about food and clothing, and enjoy the life of a master. But don't really think of yourself as a master, your great-grandfather is my relative, but the relationship between you is far away, understand?"
"Understand, understand." Su Laier hurriedly responded.
Suktara gave Su Laier a distasteful glance, then turned to the butler Su Li and said, "From tomorrow on, the rules for castles and mage towers must be established, and those who are capable will share their property and let them manage it. Those who are incompetent should not be raised like uncles and sent away."
The butler Su Li leaned forward and said, "As you wish."
Suktara seemed tired, and waved his hands to make everyone leave.
When Su Laier turned around, he called Su Laier to stop again: "Besides, Duke is an arcane mage. You bastards, you must respect him and any arcane mage from the bottom of your heart. If I hear you call Duke as 'that kid' again, get out of my mage tower."
"Yes, I don't dare anymore, grandma!" Su Laier bent over and stepped back cautiously.
Out the door, quickly left the corridor, walked to the spiritual ladder room, frantically pressed the button, and then entered the spiritual ladder.
Ding Dong.
The ladder door is closed.
BANG BOOM!
Su Laier hit the wall with one punch: "Unreasonable, unreasonable! This crazy old woman is simply unreasonable. In her mind, we are not as good as outsiders who have no blood relationship! There is no use living such an old fart, why not die sooner!"
"Respect, I respect your immortality!"
Bang Bang!
Su Laier punched the wall of the spiritual ladder again with two fists, and with a ding dong, the door of the spiritual ladder opened, and he quickly put away his mad posture.
Stride out of Tower 1.
…
"Can you keep up with the progress?"
The next day Duke went to work in the Penrose Master Tower, and was called to the office by Penrose early in the morning. He first inspected the progress of his homework, and then asked about his recent teaching experience.
"Can keep up, mentor."
"Received teaching at His Excellency Suktara's side, do you think there is any difference between the teaching here and mine, and is there any conflict with your research?"
Duke replied with a smile: "There is no conflict. I like both studies very much. I feel that the understanding of spiritual mysteries is rapidly improving."
"It's good if there is no conflict. I was more worried that your energy would be scattered, which would affect your research on both sides." Penrose looked a little complicated, "But after investigating you, I found that the study in the field of card making has not fallen behind."
"I can coordinate time and assign study tasks well."
"Well." Penrose was sure that Duke could keep up with his studies, so he didn't say any more, "That's it, it's your luck to be favored by Your Excellency Suktara. I hope you don't disappoint the other party's trust and work hard to inherit what she has learned."
"Yes, mentor."
"Let's go back."
Bang, the office door closed, and Duke had already left.
Penrose picked up the teacup, leaned back in the chair comfortably, then unscrewed the lid of the cup, and took small sips of the good tea.
"Study two fields at the same time, Duke, Duke, how confident are you?" He couldn't help but smile comfortably, "But that's good, I can't bear your learning progress in the field of card making, so it's better to be distracted."
Whether it's drawing spell models, making spirit cards, or practicing arcane wonders and spellcasting, Duke's learning speed is too fast.
It's a bit unbearable for Penrose to call out.
If this momentum continues, in a few years, he may catch up with him and become a new card making scholar.
This is undoubtedly a big blow to Penrose.
You must know that the reason why he stayed in Shenjiao City was to enjoy the honor of the only card making scholar in Shenjiao City, and because of this honor, he was able to join the Five Towers Conference and become a member of the leadership team of Shenjiao City.
Now it’s all right. Duke is studying natural history and alchemy again. It is clear that he has to be half-hearted, and the progress in this field of card making will naturally slow down.
The pressure on Penrose's body disappeared immediately.
"Young man, sharpen it more, don't think about taking over from our old guy all day long, wait for the wings to harden before thinking about it!"
Several days in a row.
Duke studied hard in the Penrose Master Tower during the day, delved into card making skills, and studied the magic wave and slide card experiments.
Go back to Suktara Mage Tower at night, and follow Suktara to learn alchemy knowledge.
I'm so busy, but I feel very fulfilled.
Spiritual mysteries have a mysterious attraction, which attracts him to keep studying and exploring, and wants to uncover this mysterious veil bit by bit.
Time entered September, and Duke got another good news on his way to work by shuttle.
"Congratulations to the master for successfully building the fantasy arcane wonders. The two arcane wonders are shining brightly on the first track, implying that the master's future will become brighter and brighter."
Xiaoyi flattered her.
Duke was instantly overjoyed: "After more than two hundred days of waiting, the second arcane wonder has finally been built. When I get to the Mage Tower, I want to try the power of the illusion!"
at the same time.
He closed his eyes again, looking inside the Linghai.
On the periphery of the spiritual core in the spiritual sea, on the first track, a shield and an unpredictable light group are close together, rotating around the spiritual core. Not far away, there is a ring of sand eagle spell model structures, which are also running on orbits.
That group of unpredictable light is the arcane spectacle that represents the illusion.
Feeling the magnificence of the illusory arcane wonders, as well as the complicated and sophisticated internal construction, Duke has entered a state of mystery and mystery.
But seeing that the spiritual core is blooming with brilliance, with the completion of the fantasy arcane wonders, the raised part on it continues to increase, and the ring-shaped spiritual core has been pulled and twisted into an irregular and complex energy line composition.
"My ring already has the basic outline of a spell model!" Duke silently passed through the cognition of various spiritual mysteries.
After an unknown amount of time, the light of the spiritual core slowly faded away.
He also fell from the mysterious and mysterious state, returned to the spiritual sea, and continued to observe the detailed changes in the spiritual sea.
"Xiaoyi, calculate my cultivation progress."
"Okay master, you are now a level 1 arcane mage, and the current progress of level 1 cultivation is about 15%, and the time for promotion to level 2 has not yet been determined." Xiaoyi responded quickly, but the cultivation of arcan mages is already difficult to calculate in time.
If you stop studying, you may not be able to advance to the second ring in meditation for a lifetime.
It may be an accidental epiphany that directly jumps from the 1st ring to the 2nd ring.
Everything is possible.
Looking at the sparse three arcane wonders and arcane artifacts on the first track of the spiritual core, Duke asked again: "I think there is still a lot of space on the track, and it should not reach my limit. Xiao Yi, can you continue to build new arcane wonders?"
"After calculation, there is still a lot of redundancy in the orbital space, and new arcane wonders can be built."
The orbital space of each arcanist's ring has a limit, and the limit of space accommodation varies according to the individual's talent.
And the scale of each arcane wonder is different, which will also affect the occupation of orbital space.
There are also Arcane Artifacts to occupy the position of Arcane Wonders.
It’s just that Duke’s one-ring Sand Eagle and nine-ring Xiaoyi are both included when traveling, and they don’t need to occupy the place of the Arcane Wonder, which gives him more choices.
"Then, according to the previous decision, build a miracle of healing arcane." Duke ordered.
"Good master, I have added a new process for you... Process 2: Healing Arcane Wonders, construction consumes 55% power. The current construction progress is 0.0%, and the time budget is 241 days." Xiaoyi quickly started the construction of Healing Arcane Wonders.
Having Xiaoyi really saved Duke a lot of time.
Other arcane masters usually have to practice meditation silently whenever they have free time, and then build arcane wonders by themselves.
He can use this time for learning and experimenting.
"I am not successful, who can succeed!"
Just after exiting the spiritual sea, before Duke had time to feel emotional for a while, he heard Mu Lali say: "Sir, look outside."
Duke turned his head to look out the window, but saw a slide card advertising picture playing on the wall of a small building.
The picture shows a product similar in shape to a portable light.
A female model posing for a pose, holding a new lamp in her hand, her body is concaved into a deep S shape.
The clothes are almost bursting, which is really eye-catching.
"The spiritual wind lamp has been fully upgraded, Runwanjia will bring you the light of life!"
"On September 15th, Runwanjia Lingqi Factory will launch an upgraded product of Lingfeng Lamp—Lingguang Lamp. The upgrade will not increase the price, and we will give back to new and old customers in an all-round way!"
The image also flashes advertising slogans.
Mulali said angrily: "Sir, Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory is simply copying the light giant's portable lamp!"
"Hmm." Duke was not surprised by this.
The workshop supervisor who was bribed by Vuillard had already reported the launch plan of Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory's spiritual lamp.
The Giant of Light, which has received financing, is not only frantically expanding its production capacity, but is also ready to file a lawsuit. Once Runwanjia's light lamp is on the market, and after getting the product, go to the Boxue Tower to accuse Runwanjia of infringement.
Seven Towers Federation attaches great importance to patents. Basically, as long as Runwanjia's aura lamp and portable lamp have similar appearance or similar structure, they will be judged as infringement.
The shuttle has passed by, and the advertisement picture disappears around the corner.
Mulali scolded Run Wanjia angrily, while Duke leaned back in his chair and silently thought about the upcoming battle between the portable lamp and the aura lamp.
"Aziguli, the head of the legal department of Boxue Tower, is a director of Runwanjia. She will definitely block this infringement lawsuit at that time... But no matter how she blocks it, it will not affect the determination of the infringement result, otherwise she will be provoking the system of the Seven Towers Federation."
"but…"
Duke is very clear that any rules and regulations have loopholes, as long as people have the heart, they will find out the shortcomings and make use of them.
Aziguli doesn’t need to block the result determination, but only needs to delay the time. Runwanjia can rely on this time to plagiarize the portable lights frantically, and then drag down the giant of light with strong capital, and finally reach a settlement.
At that time, it will only pay a batch of infringement fees to obtain the entire market.
"If I don't have the strong light hand lamp technology, I'm afraid I really can't win this battle. Even if I succeed in financing, I still won't be the opponent of Runwanjia." Duke smiled silently, "Your Excellency Clarinda, let us have a good fight and fight to the flesh!"
Not only is he not a little nervous now, but he is looking forward to Run Wanjia's ferocious attack.
The stronger the offensive, the bigger the stalls will be.
Then the counterattack will be more painful.
Suddenly, he thought of another point, and his smile became brighter: "It's still convenient in this world, there is a contract, and it's too easy to keep it secret."
When the giant of light raised funds, it signed a confidentiality contract with relevant personnel, and was not allowed to disclose any information about the glare hand lamp.
With the power constraints of the contract, there will never be the slightest possibility of leakage of the glare hand lamp technology.
"Business competition, how can there be so many bells and whistles, just a bright hand lamp is enough to determine the world."
…
In the Penrose Mage Tower.
Duke stood outside Kiria Raging Wave's office, waiting leisurely.
Assistant Jisi and others came in and out, but turned a blind eye to Duke standing outside the door, and no one came to say hello.
After a while, Kiriya also walked out of the office.
At this time of the week, she goes to tutor Vikas for lessons.
Out the door, Kylia walked towards the ladder room while talking to Assistant Jiss, and also turned a blind eye to Duke standing outside the door.
but.
Wait until Duke steps up to follow.
Kilia turned her head suddenly, and looked in Duke's direction suspiciously: "No, someone! I clearly sensed someone just now!"
"Is anyone there?" Jissie looked at the empty corridor, "Miss, you don't know how to look at flowers, do you?"
"How could it be possible to see blindly? I didn't see it, but felt it." Kylia stretched out her hand in doubt, releasing her spiritual power into the air.
next moment.
Psychic energy passed through Duke's position, rippling like water waves, and Duke's figure also appeared.
Kilia settled down: "Duke?"
Jiss exclaimed: "There is really someone, Your Excellency Duke..."
"Haha." Duke touched his chin with a smile, "I'm sorry, I just finished the Illusory Arcane Wonder, so I couldn't help but come over and try it out. I didn't expect to be discovered by Kiria after taking one step."
Kiliya has regained her composure, and responded with a smile: "Illusion arcane has excellent camouflage effect in static state, but once it enters dynamic state, the camouflage effect will be greatly reduced, and it will lose its effect on arcanists or high-level spirit beasts."
"I see."
"However, Duke, I remember that you have already built an arcane shield wonder?" Kiria's tone on the face was relaxed, but she was quite shocked in her heart, "How long has it been since you built a new illusion arcane wonder?"
Duke smiled reservedly: "I have some understanding in meditation, so building arcane wonders is faster than ordinary people."
"It's not that it's faster, it's too much." Kylia shook her head and said, "I haven't reorganized the meditation method yet."
Shop around and throw away.
Looking at Duke with a sunny smile, Kylia suddenly felt ashamed. Since she was a child, she has been the jewel in the hands of her elders. She was promoted to an arcane mage at the age of eighteen, and received overwhelming praise from the heavenly girl.
However, compared with the Duke who was one year younger than herself, she suddenly felt the gap deeply.
She looked at Duke, as if she saw the extreme spirituality, which was the deep care of Duke by the sea of spirituality.
"Speed is not necessarily a good thing, and steady progress is definitely not a bad thing." Duke comforted, and then waved his hand, "You go to work, I won't bother you."
next moment.
The light and shadow fluctuated, and Duke's figure disappeared again, apparently launching the Illusion Arcane again.
Kilia couldn't see Duke, but she could feel that Duke had walked back to her office, so she turned around to calm down the unrest in her heart.
Said to the assistant: "Aunt Jiss, let's go."
Looking for tickets~
