Chapter 218 Disruptor
At 11 o'clock, the housekeeper Su Li came over on time to remind that the teaching time is over.
Duke, who had studied hard for several hours, stretched his waist, said goodbye to Teacher Suktara, and returned to Tower 2.
At the same time, he also noticed Xiaoyi's previous reminder.
"Well, the Sand Eagle 1.52 Special Effect Bullet-Element Edition finally broke through the difficulty and successfully developed it!" Duke was overjoyed.
Can't wait to head to the castle walls.
Then began to experiment with the power of the new version of Sand Eagle. Compared with the Sand Eagle 1.51 Special Effects Bullet-Physical Version, which can only switch between three types of bullets: blank bullet, shotgun, and armor-piercing bullet, this time the Sand Eagle 1.52 Special Effect Bullet-Elemental Version has more bullet types that can be switched.
"Let's fire an explosive bomb first!" Duke turned on the Sand Eagle's tactical light, illuminating a bush in the distance.
Then pull the trigger.
With a puff, a bullet fell into the bushes, and in an instant a ball of flame burst and rose, engulfing the entire bush.
"Huh!" Duke's eyes shone brightly, "The power of this explosive bomb is generally at the standard level of the 1st-level fire arcane, but it can be released at the moment of impact, and the suddenness and lethality are far beyond the 1st-level arcane standard."
Most arcane spells have a process from condensing to releasing to hitting the target.
Burst bombs do not have this process. Where the bullet hits, it is the location where the elemental arcane is released, just like an instant cast.
By this time the bushes were already ablaze.
Duke quickly used his thoughts as a guide to switch a ring of sand eagles to the new elemental bullets: "Let's try another frozen bomb and try the effect!"
Puff.
When the trigger was pulled, the bullets had already shot into the flames, and Duke felt his eyes go dizzy immediately after.
The raging flame has been switched to an ice sculpture.
Among the ice sculptures, you can see the scorched bushes that were burnt black, shining brightly under the illumination of the tactical lights.
"Come again, lightning bomb!" Duke thought to switch to a new bullet, and then pulled the trigger.
Boom!
The surface of the large ice sculpture suddenly exploded with intense lightning, directly smashing the entire ice sculpture, and the ice pieces fell to the ground and dissipated.
The substances condensed by the arcane are not real substances, but a kind of mimicry. As the arcane dissipates, these substances will also dissipate.
"The power is not bad, try the golden bullet again!"
Accompanied by Duke's thoughts, after the trigger was pulled, a new elemental bullet was shot out, and when it hit the open space, it suddenly turned into a long spear shining with metallic luster, like a javelin, directly sank into the ground and disappeared.
"I can't see the effect, but it's quite bluffing." Duke shook his head and pulled the trigger again, this time switching to the fifth elemental bullet.
Tracking rounds.
When this bullet was fired from the muzzle, it was the most basic bullet of an ordinary Sand Eagle, but during the flight of the bullet, it suddenly made a big circle.
Directly circle back.
boom!
Shot on the rock of the city wall, and directly drilled a big hole in the special rock mixed with Lingjin.
"This is good!" Duke was overjoyed, and his mind directly came to a show operation, and after switching to armor-piercing bullets, he added tracking bullets.
Tracking bullets are elemental bullets with wind element attributes, not pure elemental bullets like explosive bombs, freezing bombs, lightning bombs, and golden gun bullets. It is a superimposed form, which can superimpose a wind element effect on the physical version of the bullet.
So ordinary bullets can be superimposed on tracking bullets, and empty bullets, shotgun shells, and armor-piercing bullets can also be superimposed.
Pfft!
The armor-piercing projectile exploded with powerful recoil, but Duke has been promoted to the first-ring Grand Knight. With the blessing of fighting spirit, his hands are as steady as Mount Tai, and he is not affected by the recoil in the slightest.
next moment.
Under the guidance of Duke’s mind at the critical moment, the armor-piercing projectile that was originally fired in a straight line took a big turn when there was no time to fire, and went directly in front of the first big tree of the target, and then hit another big tree a few meters away.
boom!
The big tree fell in response.
Earth attribute gold bullets, water attribute freezing bullets, fire attribute explosive flame bullets, wind attribute tracking bullets, thunder attribute lightning bombs.
Of the seven basic elements, five are already available.
There are also bullets corresponding to the two element attributes of light attribute and dark attribute. Duke continued to switch ideas in a calm manner.
And took out an arcane card, first activated the arcane card.
Boom!
A long knife made of huge flames pierces the night.
Duke pulled the trigger at the moment when the 1st ring Arcane-Flame Knife was released, and a bullet shot out like a laser, hitting the Flame Long Knife.
In the next second, the long flame knife disintegrated, as if it had never appeared before.
"Perfect!" Duke laughed loudly, "Leaving aside the power of this laser bomb, it is definitely far ahead in arcane defense!"
The laser bomb just now is a light element bullet.
Elements with light attributes do not emit light, but rely on overactive element particles to decompose formed arcane spells.
Earth elements can transition to gold elements, water elements can transition to ice elements... light elements can transition to space-time elements, in the arcane system, light elements are difficult to be bound, so there are very few arcane spells with light attributes.
Once there is one, it is a high-level arcane art that will destroy the world.
But now, Duke is using Sand Eagle’s bullets to add light elements to it. There is no need to deliberately outline it as an arcane art, and he only needs to exert the attribute effect of the light elements to cast a powerful laser bomb.
"Try whether the 2-ring arcane can defend!"
Thinking of this, Duke took out another 2-ring arcane card-Great Wind Wheel.
After being activated, a huge wind wheel formed, and because Duke didn't choose a target, the wind wheel hovered in the air.
Pfft!
Raising your hand is a laser bomb.
The big wind wheel went out in response, and there was nothing in the midair illuminated by the tactical lights. The 2-ring arcane just disappeared without a trace.
"Cool!"
Duke felt that he was invincible: "I don't have a 3-ring arcane card with me, so I'll go back and get it, and try to see if the 3-ring arcane can defend me!"
Each of the 3-ring arcane cards is priceless, and Duke has few of them.
After going back, he quickly took an arcane return card that he renovated before. This card used to be his hole card, but now it doesn't matter anymore.
After being activated, a cage made of arcane arts covered a big tree in front of it.
Duke directly fired a laser shot, but this time, the arcane return did not dissipate, but there were some waves, and the light dimmed a little.
Puff puff…
Duke fired eight shots in a row. Including the one shot just now, it fully emptied a pair of laser bullets in the magazine, and failed to dispel the arcane return.
The only gratifying thing is that the light of the arcane return has also dimmed to the limit. Obviously, the laser bomb is still effective.
Change a pair of magazines, and after firing the second shot, the arcane return was finally broken and dissipated.
"Well, I've reached the upper limit of the laser bullets. Arcane spells with level 2 and below need to be shot one at a time. Arcane spells with level 3 and above have to be strafed."
Duke had a thought.
Sand Eagle switched to the last type of elemental bullet—disruptor bullet.
This is a dark element bullet, which acts on the spiritual level and can interfere with the enemy's mental stability, preventing the arcanist from actively releasing arcane spells.
As for the solidified arcane spells of spirit beasts and the instant cast arcane spells of arcane mages, since they do not require mental involvement, the distracting bullets have no effect.
"Not bad, not bad. I want to capture a live spirit beast. After a few jamming bullets hit it, the spirit beast will probably get dizzy and catch it." Duke is quite satisfied with the jamming bomb. This thing has no lethality, but it can be used as a powerful anesthetic.
To see who is upset, shoot twice in the back, directly making the opponent stunned for a while, without hurting people's lives, and can vent bad anger.
Seven elemental bullets, all tested once.
Duke walked back and communicated with Xiaoyi: "Can't elements superimpose each other?"
"Reply to the master, the structure of the spell model of the Yihuan Sand Eagle has reached the carrying limit after many improvements, and no more structures can be fitted."
"All right."
Duke also knows that Yihuan Sand Eagle has too many functions and has reached its limit.
Many arcane weapons of arcane mages only have specific functions, which are far worse than a ring of sand eagles.
Of course, this is also because the Yihuan Sand Eagle is an accompanying arcane weapon, and the underlying logic of the spell model is the same as the underlying logic of this world. That's why so many functional structures can be embedded in the spell model of the mere 1st ring.
It is estimated that after the successful development of the Sand Eagle 1.6 burst version, the first ring of Sand Eagle will reach its true limit.
"Your Excellency Duke, have you finished training?" Herdos, the captain of the patrolling cavalry team, saw Duke walking down the city wall and asked.
"It's done, destroy a bush."
"It doesn't matter, the shrubs outside the city are not worth a few dollars, and they are far less important than your cultivation." Herdos laughed.
This 2-ring Eudemons knight has always maintained enough respect in front of Duke.
Wait for Duke to go far.
A great knight of the patrolling cavalry team approached Herdos on horseback: "Captain, the bushes outside the city wall have been cleaned up, tsk tsk, this Lord Duke is really powerful, the whole bushes have been blasted to powder."
"Your Excellency Duke is a genius arcanist, it is normal to be stronger."
"Captain, tell me, will our Suktara Mage Tower be renamed Duke Mage Tower sooner or later?" the big knight asked.
Herdos glared at the other party: "Is this something you can care about?"
"Hey, I just want to ask... The leaders of the Su clan were all thrown out of the castle by the old lady to fend for themselves. The brothers are all discussing this matter."
"What does the boss do, as vassals, we are not qualified to ask, understand!" Herdos scolded, "You tell the people in the team, I don't care what others discuss. In the Patrol Cavaliers, everyone shut up!"
Seeing Herdos get angry, the big knight didn't dare to say: "Yes, captain!"
…
"Spiritual perception tentacles, Duke, what resounding name do you want to give to my arcane weapon?" Sanfis came to Suktara Mage Tower as a guest.
He has gathered the main materials of the arcane weapon.
"Endoscope." Duke gave a very familiar name in his previous life.
"Endoscope? What a bad name, it doesn't have any style at all." Shan Feisi directly vetoed it, "How about calling it the touch of all spirits? Wan stands for omnipotence, and spirit stands for psionic power. The omnipotent psionic tentacle is appropriate and cool!"
"Well, not bad." Duke said perfunctorily.
"It's such a happy decision, my arcane weapon is called the Touch of All Souls!"
"Then, for the Touch of All Souls, I did some preliminary research with the teacher, and I think there can be some new changes in the design."
"You say, you say."
For his own arcane weapon, Sanfis listened very carefully, and discussed with Duke for two full hours. After Suktara returned from the Union Tower, he continued to discuss for about an hour before finally finalizing the design of the Touch of All Souls.
"The plan is confirmed, and I will cast it immediately, Sanfis. During the casting process, if there are any new ideas, there is no way to change it. Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, Master Suktara, please you and Duke!"
"Don't worry, Sanfis, the teacher and I will forge the best arcane weapon for you." Duke said.
Stayed for a dinner, and Sanfis said goodbye and left.
Duke and Suktara immediately put into casting work, teaching and practicing at the same time, starting from the design of the spell model, and building the prototype of the arcane weapon bit by bit.
"Alchemy and natural history are not incompatible. On the contrary, the two have the same principle in the process of casting." Suktara quickly operated the instrument, "Rubbing a portable lamp with hands has no technical content in the eyes of alchemists."
"I understand, teacher, in fact, all fields of spiritual mysteries are interoperable, and there is no independent system of technology. Even natural science is the result of mutual interference in fields such as spirit cards, alchemy, puppets, and formations."
"Yes, you understand quite thoroughly." Suktaraz praised.
Then he said: "The direction of ring copying materials is too big, and the teacher doesn't expect you to complete it in a short time. If you want to get the title of alchemist in the future, you have to learn more techniques in other fields, and then make breakthroughs with the idea of alchemy."
"yes."
"Come on, look at this structure, it needs a special way of drawing in the touch of all souls, this is the sealing port reserved for the convenience of alchemy..."
Time is ticking, slipping away quietly in the study.
After the magic model of the Touch of All Souls was designed, the time has come to mid-June.
"teacher."
Duke came back from the Penrose Master Tower and announced a message: "Just now, the deputy director of the Honor Department of the Erudition Tower, Mr. Capello Flamingo, found me and said that the Natural History Conference is about to be held at the Erudition Tower in Runwu City, and all scholars are invited to attend."
"How many days are you going?"
"The meeting will take three days, and if you add the back and forth travel, it will take at least ten days." Duke calculated that the airship flew to Runwu City, and the route would take three days.
If there is another delay in the middle, a total of ten days will be freed up.
Suktara sighed: "Oh, it's quite a delay in teaching, but this kind of meeting is very good for your future growth. The teacher won't stop you, go."
"Thank you teacher for your understanding."
"You can learn alchemy from the teacher, the teacher is already very satisfied, how can you delay your growth."
The natural history meeting held at the Boxue Tower in Runwu City is not only formal, but more importantly, it can really exchange knowledge compared to the academic salon held by the Arcane Master.
Especially the candidates who are limited to participate in the meeting are all polymaths, and the level of spiritual mysteries is different.
Duke started preparations the next day.
Suktara's Chasing Shadow airship has been authorized by Duke and can be borrowed at any time—Duke has no plans to buy it for the time being, after all, he has to pay back the money to make money.
"Sir, can you take Xiao Shanshan with you?" Mu Lali took the opportunity to grab Duke's arm and asked, "We can give you a massage together, sir."
Duke didn't care, he brought one or two more followers: "Yes."
The guard knight team led by Vivienne was also taken by him. In fact, these great knights had limited protection for him, more like a guard of honor.
But other arcane mages bring it, if Duke doesn't bring it, the pomp is not enough.
"Have you contacted the Bo Xue Tower?"
"We have already contacted them. We will gather at the Chengdong Air Station at about ten o'clock tomorrow. Then we will form a team of airships and fly together along the route."
"okay."
The Seven Towers Federation has a large population and a large area. Most of the territory is still virgin forest, but powerful spirit beasts will be cleared regularly.
But there are always fish that slip through the net.
So only the route is the safest, and traveling the route in groups can provide more safe shelter.
"Master Erwin has confirmed that the members who will not participate in this natural history meeting will be led by Lord Cowley, plus Lord Azigul, Lord Dingig, Lord Bovis, Lord Gulewin, Lord Neville, and you, a total of seven people."
"The polymath is really full of talents. In addition to Mr. Erwin, the 4-ring arcane mage, there are also two 3-ring arcane mages, Kauri and Aziguli."
Duke sighed.
Cawley is the director of the Tower of Learning, but he is relatively low-key, and rarely participates in the management of the Tower of Learning, and spends most of his time doing research in his tower of mages.
At nine o'clock the next day, the airship Chasing Shadow departed from the Suktala Mage Tower, passed through the suburbs of Shenjiao City, and arrived at the Chengdong Air Station.
There are already two airships parked at the flight station.
One of them is written "Azigul Master Tower-Xihua", which is obviously Azigul's airship.
The Shadowchaser landed in the flight station. Duke glanced at the Xihua airship, ignored it, and got off the airship directly to another airship, the Periscope airship. There was no mage tower in front of it. It was obviously the airship of the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage.
"Duke, you are here!"
"Your Excellency Ding Jige, you are here so early."
Ding Jige smiled and said: "I always get up early, reading books and newspapers on the airship, what is the difference between reading books and newspapers at home?"
The service staff on the airship brought tea to Duke.
After a short chat, Duke asked: "Is there anything that needs attention in previous natural history conferences? It's my first time attending natural history conferences, and I don't understand anything."
"Haha, then you have to prepare in advance. As a new polymath, you will definitely be arranged to give a report at the meeting. Especially the strong light technology you invented, not to mention the title of polymath, even the title of polymath and sage can compete."
With the emergence of strong light technology, it can be said that it is full of practicality.
If it were an old-fashioned polymath like Erwin, I am afraid that it would not be long before a title of polymath and sage would be dropped.
Too bad Duke is too young.
Only having attainments in technical research, there is still a blank in other aspects, such as cultivating students, promoting museums, and developing people's livelihood.
If you want to get the title of Erudite Sage, you lack too much persuasion.
certainly.
If it is a major discovery such as spiritual magnetic waves, let alone being awarded the title of erudite sage, it is easy to be elected as the chief sage of Offata.
The chief sage of Offa Tower, who is an arcane mage facing all fields, competes together, and can be called the "academician" of the Seven Towers Federation.
"The focus of strong light technology is on creativity, but in fact there is not much technical content. I really don't know what to say when the time comes."
"No, no, you can say too much. What you said at the awarding ceremony of the Learning Tower, expand and expand, and then polish the details of the invention of the strong light technology. It must be a good report. Maybe it can be published in journals of the level of "Spiritual Arcana" and "Arcane Tower Guide."
There are three levels of academic journals, the lowest being the local academic journals, and the "Runwucheng Lingka", which has the most papers published by Duke, is at this level.
The second class is ordinary academic journals, which are all issued by Offata of the Holy City of Offa, and are biased towards a single field.
The first class is the core academic journals, which are also issued by Offata. They are comprehensive journals. Only the top academic papers, the most important research results, or significant phenomena can be published in the core academic journals.
"Spiritual Arcana" and "A Guide to the Arcane Tower" are the core academic journals.
"You are so ridiculous." Duke said modestly.
"I'm not talking nonsense. The strong light technology is indeed a sensation. The Holy City's Learning Tower has been fully promoted to twelve fields of the Federation. At least in terms of practicality, there is currently no technology that is more commendable than the strong light technology."
One flattering, one modest, the chatting atmosphere is quite pleasant.
Soon two more airships arrived, and after a brief exchange after landing, it was confirmed that all the polymaths participating in the meeting had arrived.
Among them, Powis took Cowley's airship, and Gureywen and Neville shared one.
At exactly ten o'clock, the four airships took off together and flew towards the east. Duke also returned to the airship Chasing Shadow and enjoyed the teacher's airship alone.
Mu Lali and Mu Lashan, a pair of beautiful girls, one beat his leg and the other squeezed his shoulder.
The great knight Vivienne sat on the side, quietly peeling apples, with grudge in hand, the paring knife seemed to be carving a work of art.
Soon, as if a layer of peel had been torn off, an apple with silky flesh was handed over to Duke.
"Knife skills are on the rise, Vivian."
"Practice makes perfect." Vivian put down the paring knife and asked, "Sir, do you still want to eat oranges? I'll peel one for you."
"Well, peel it off." Duke eats a lot.
In other words, knights eat a lot. The fighting spirit produced by the sea of blood is rooted in food, so eating well is very important.
"Chichi!" jumped over.
"Well, are you hungry too?" Duke glanced at Mu Lali.
The little assistant immediately understood, got up and asked the flight attendant to bring a piece of spirit beast jerky, and handed it to Duke's contracted spirit beast pocket.
Now Duke basically keeps Xiaodou as a pet. After all, he has been promoted to the 1st ring, and it helps him to be promoted to the 1st ring Grand Knight. The role that should be played is in place. As for the pursuit of the misty Eudemons, Duke thinks very openly and lets it take its course.
"Jiji!" Xiaodou grabbed the dried spirit beast meat and ate it side by side.
Duke takes it with him wherever he goes. This long-haired mongoose can be regarded as traveling all over the world, and he eats a lot of delicious food.
4-ring spirit beast meat, and even 5-ring spirit beast meat did not eat less.
Before the airship flew out of Shenjiao City, through the semaphore, Cowley's airship sent an invitation to Duke to play cards.
Duke has no interest in games like poker.
In other words, some high places are too cold.
After all, Xiaoyi’s powerful computing power can not only memorize cards, but also count cards. Basically, nine out of ten bets win, unless you are lucky, no one is Xiaoyi’s opponent.
The popular cards among arcane mages, no matter how complicated the rules are, in front of Xiaoyi, they are no different from clear cards.
"Sir, do you want to decline?"
"Forget it, go over and play a couple of games first, and I'll come back when the old gentlemen get flustered." Duke got up and left the luxury cabin.
Came to another shuttle room.
This flight attendant-type shuttle is specially used for the travel between airships. Using arcane propulsion, Duke soon arrived at Cowley's airship.
"Come, come, Duke, the crowd is so lively, let's play a few games together." Cowley is an old man who is obsessed with academics. He serves as the director of the Erudite Tower, but he doesn't go to work very much. When he has some free time, he invites friends to play cards together, "Aziguli, are you sure you don't want to play?"
"Not playing." Aziguli also arrived on this airship at some point.
Seeing Duke approaching, she squinted, then continued to lie on the sofa and read the newspaper.
Duke also glanced back, and then he didn't even say hello, and went directly to sit down at the gaming table—anyway, his face was already torn, so there was no need to get close.
As an arcane mage, he has willful capital.
"Come on, Duke, sit down, the cards are dealt!" Cowley greeted.
"Okay." Duke smiled slightly.
after an hour.
Cawley looked at the pile of chips in front of Duke, and his old face darkened: "Your boy is really like what Master Keystone said, the spiritual spring is big?"
"It's just luck." Duke smiled again.
Another hour.
Cauley lost the interest to speak, and Ding Jige and others also turned black.
Bowis took his last remaining chip and shook it in his hand: "Master Cowley, I don't want to play anymore. Duke wins nine out of ten hands. We have to take turns for the remaining one. We might as well pay Duke directly."
"Yeah, playing cards is meaningless." Gurewin agreed.
Neville snapped his nails: "It's boring."
Ding Jige also nodded approvingly.
All the chips on the poker table have been piled up in front of Duke. He smiled and looked at several polymaths with dark faces: "I think it's quite interesting!"
Listen to what he said.
Cauley, who loves poker, couldn't help breaking his guard: "It's really not interesting, forget it, let's drink tea and chat."
Looking for tickets~
