Chapter 228 Olympian
Snake Head Town, Black Snake Manor, High Priest Murand Black Snake, summoned several arcane masters and great knights from the family.
"Mulali sent a letter." With an excited expression on his face, Murand announced to everyone, "Duke has been promoted to the level 2 Arcane Mage."
"2nd ring, Duke has been promoted to 2nd ring?" Muhans exclaimed.
"The letter from your daughter is definitely not fake." Muland looked at Muhans with a smile.
I am very proud of the strategy of arranging Muhans' daughter to be Duke's assistant, and it will work.
With Mu Lali as an intermediary, the Black Snake Family has successfully **** Duke.
Duke is now promoted to the 2nd ring, which is naturally great news for the Black Snake family, especially as Duke has also broken two records of the Seven Towers Federation, and he is destined to be a great figure in the future. The Black Snake family can gain a firm foothold in Sheshou Town by taking advantage of Duke's power.
Mu Hansi said happily: "This is really a big surprise. Who would have thought that Duke would be promoted to the second ring in such a short time!"
"Yeah, it's really surprising." Murkod Black Snake admired. He is Murand's cousin and one of the five arcanists in the family.
But he is only a ring 1 arcanist.
At this moment, Murand suddenly looked at another clansman with his head down: "Modis, what about you, how do you feel when you hear this news?"
The clansman with his head hanging down is another 1st-ring arcane mage in the family, Modis Black Snake, the father of Duke's second assistant, Mu Lashan.
Modis raised his head and smiled wryly: "It's really amazing."
"Oh!" Murand sighed heavily, "Isn't it just a failure to hit the 2nd ring? The thunder potion has been refined. You adjust your state and drink it later!"
"I…"
"What do you give me back? The family will do their best to help you advance to the 2nd ring, but after the promotion, you can do your best to earn resources for the family." Muland shook his head, "It's time to look forward and train the younger generation for the family. With Duke's help, the family has a breathing space, and I can breathe a sigh of relief."
Moodys smiled ugly: "Yes, High Priest."
Mulland ignored him, but looked at Mu Hans: "Duke has been promoted to the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage, so I won't go there to celebrate in person. You and Mu Kede go to Shenjiao City to congratulate him, and prepare a generous gift for Murali."
"For Mu Lali?" Muhans was a little puzzled.
"Is there anything I don't understand? Duke is already a student of Master Suktarah, and he doesn't lack anything. No matter how good a gift we give, it's just icing on the cake." Muland said kindly, "But it's different when a gift is given to Mu Lali. Duke will miss our friendship."
Mu Hansi already understood, and said: "I understand, but second uncle, do you want to prepare another copy for Mu Lashan?"
Mulland narrowed his eyes: "You decide for yourself."
Mu Hans pondered: "I still have to prepare a copy for Mu Lashan. Both Mu Lali and Mu Lashan are Duke's assistants. You can't treat one more favorably than the other. It will hurt the hearts of their little sisters."
"If you can think that way, I can rest assured that I will hand over this family to you." Murand smiled gratifiedly.
Muhans shook his head and smiled and said, "Second Uncle, after Moody's promotion to the 2nd Ring, let Moody's be in charge. Duke has a good saying, the world is so big, I want to see it."
"It's ridiculous, how old are you, and you still run around." Murand stared, "Old man, I have devoted my whole life to the sake of the family. How come you and Mudis are taking over, and one wants to run away, and the other becomes decadent?"
He said heavily: "I won't allow it, and the Black Snake Family will be in charge of you."
Wait until Muhans accepts.
Mulande went to him alone and said: "The relationship between you and Duke is far from what Modis can compare. Even if Mu Lashan can get more Duke's favor, I don't think Moody can replace you. He is a bit too gloomy."
"I will try to build a good relationship with Duke."
"It's not as much as possible, it's necessary." Muland said solemnly, "After the establishment of Cuihai City, our Sheshou Town is the nearest market town, and it's located on a major traffic road. It has broad prospects for future development, but it must have the support of strong people. Duke is the biggest reliance of the Black Snake Family."
Speaking of which, Murand looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
"In the past few years, Duke has become a big tree that can protect the Black Snake family from wind and rain. This change is too fast."
Muhans said: "This is spirituality, everything is possible."
…
The next day.
Shenjiao City.
The owner of the newsstand shouted on the street, attracting many passers-by.
"The youngest arcane mage in the Seven Towers Federation is a master in our Shenjiao City. Quickly buy a newspaper to see who the master is!"
"Buy a newspaper, the fastest promotion to the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage, the most spiritually favored person in the entire Federation, is actually in our Shenjiao City!"
The lines the boss yelled were not shocking enough, and the content was a little wrong.
But it didn't prevent him from attracting passers-by to the newsstand, and then bought newspapers one by one. In fact, there was no need to shout, many people would flock to the newsstand to buy newspapers.
Yesterday's bell-ringing ceremony has already warmed up the common people, and they are going to buy newspapers to find out which master arcanist is born.
"Spiritual guidance, Duke broke two cultivation records in one fell swoop; the Austrian law is on top, and the Seven Towers Federation focuses its attention on Shenjiao City."
"Daily Shenjiao City" reported in detail the record of Duke's promotion to the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage, and it was not overly touted. It just listed the information of Duke's practice since his practice, but this is already a staggering resume.
At the age of fifteen, taking drugs opened the spiritual sea.
Sixteen years old, promoted to 1st Ring Arcane Mage, completed the bell ringing ceremony.
At the age of seventeen, he published a paper and invented a portable lamp, and won the Outstanding Knowledgeable Invention Award.
At the age of eighteen, he invented strong light technology and was awarded the title of polymath.
Nineteen-year-old, promoted to 2-ring arcane mage, broke two seven-tower federation records, and announced epoch-making film and television technology.
In just five years of practice, Duke's achievements have reached a height that most arcane masters can hardly achieve in their lifetime.
"The legend has just begun. Heijiaohe is destined to produce a great figure who leads the times. Let us wait and see." The front page of the newspaper only has this report, accompanied by a picture taken during a solo interview with Duke.
Duke, who was sitting on the sofa, didn't look like an arcanist in his youthful appearance, but like a photo star in a slide show.
"So it's Lord Duke!"
"I just said, who else can be so powerful!"
"There is a lot written in the article, and 100% of Heijiaohe's spirituality, I am afraid that 90% of it is gathered on Master Duke!"
"I'm a 2-ring arcane mage, my son has been a spiritual apprentice for six years, and he's still hovering around Samsung."
"What is this film and television technology, it looks very powerful?"
"I read in other newspapers that this film and television technology is an epoch-making invention, and Lord Duke is likely to win the title of Erudite Sage with this invention!"
"Sage!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's a sage, it seems like we haven't had a single sage in Shenjiao City, right?"
"Great!"
The passers-by who bought the newspaper were all amazed, and many passers-by came to rub the newspaper, and then exclaimed.
The name Duke has become the most frequently appearing word in the streets and alleys, and it appears continuously from morning to night.
If it is said that the most familiar arcanist in the past must be the legendary 5-ring arcanist, Keyston Rage, then now, I am afraid that it will be replaced by Duke. In just a few years, Duke's name has become the focus of discussion over and over again.
In the Seven Towers Federation, the entertainment industry has not yet developed, singers and photo idols are still in the minority, and the Arcane Master is undoubtedly the star figure.
After dinner, they like to talk about all kinds of news about the Arcane Master.
Leaving aside the lace news of the Arcane Masters, Duke’s news is probably the most memorable, after all, all kinds of “best” are quite eye-catching.
From the youngest arcane mage in Shenjiao City, to the youngest polymath in the wind breath field, to the youngest 2-ring arcane mage in the Seven Towers Federation.
And possibly the youngest erudite sage of the Seven Towers Federation.
Along the way, there are records everywhere, and they are the best.
"My son works in the Pagoda of Faling, let me tell you, if the Pagoda rings the bell once, everyone will get an extra month's salary!"
"Are the benefits so high?"
"Isn't that nonsense, the employees of the Five Towers, which one is not high welfare and high treatment."
"This is correct. My son-in-law works in the Erudition Tower. Last year Duke won the title of Erudite, and everyone gets three times the salary that month!"
"My God, what about triple salary?"
"That's not all. Didn't the newspaper say that Master Duke might get the title of Erudite Sage? My son-in-law said that if he really gets it, the annual salary of all the next employees of Erudite Tower will be doubled!" The uncle who spoke was very proud.
I am very proud of my son-in-law who can work in Boxue Tower.
"Double for the whole year? Isn't this twelve months' salary?" Such benefits directly envied many passers-by.
The news about Duke was flying all over Shenjiao City.
"Master Duke." The janitor at the waste card station said slowly, smoking a dry cigarette, "I used to buy cards here a lot. He was so conspicuous at that time. Everyone else is just like you. He is a few dozen years old, and he is the only one who looks like a child."
Recalling the old days, the janitor couldn’t help but be proud: “At that time, in order to stay in the waste card station for a little longer, Master Duke even gave me tobacco leaves!”
"Wow, really, Master Duke can still give you something?"
"Why isn't it true? How about you say that if someone can be an arcane master, you can also pick up garbage here!" The janitor scolded, "Master Duke knows how to send me tobacco leaves at a young age, and you don't even want to part with it!"
I just finished speaking.
The tobacco pipe of the janitor was snatched from behind.
"You're an old man, you're missing a front tooth, aren't you?" The middle-aged man, who looked somewhat similar to the old man, knocked on the table with a cigarette stick, "How many times have I told you, don't talk nonsense here, you don't understand, right, you can arrange the matter of Master Arcane?"
saw that it was his own son.
The janitor couldn’t answer in embarrassment, and the card hunters who gathered around to listen to him bragging about his friendship with Duke all dispersed.
The son of the uncle is still teaching his father: "You don't even think about it, what is your identity, what is your son and I, do we have the qualifications to arrange the master of the arcanist?"
"I didn't say anything."
"What you said is not enough. You have been sued. Master Arcane Master moved his mouth. Our whole family will die with you!" The son became more and more angry, and directly poked out the cigarette stick.
Wait until the son leaves angrily.
The old gatekeeper picked up the cigarette stick that had been folded in two, and cursed angrily: "Unfilial bastard, I knew I would have shot you on the wall!"
Seeing that the cigarette rod could not be repaired, the janitor murmured and cursed again: "Master Duke was polite to me back then and bought me tobacco leaves. What are you, you dare to blow your beard and stare at me, and poke my cigarette rod!"
At this moment.
A group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people walked outside, holding newspapers, gesticulating towards the waste card station.
A young man among them walked up to the gatekeeper, held up a newspaper and asked, "Master, did Lord Duke buy waste cards here?"
The janitor just wanted to answer.
Suddenly thought of his son's staring eyes, swallowed, and quickly shook his head: "I don't know, I just came here."
Although no result was asked.
…
People from outside paid their respects to the place where Duke made his fortune, and many even chose to take a black beetle car to visit Snake Town.
As for Duke himself, he still stayed safely in the Suktala Mage Tower.
Stay in the laboratory and operate alchemy experiments.
But I saw him standing in front of the test bench, handling a material with both hands. At the same time, there was a crystal-like arm on the test bench, quickly operating the experimental equipment.
In this crystal arm, the five fingers are sometimes stretched and sometimes shortened.
With an incredible degree of dexterity, he easily operated the experimental equipment that required the joint efforts of several people.
It can be said that at this moment Duke is alone, without a clone, and can still take care of complex experiments in an orderly manner.
"Lord Duke." Terrence knocked on the door of the laboratory.
"Come in."
Duke waited until Terrence walked up to him before he could see who was coming: "It's you, Terrence, who said you don't need to call me your lord."
"In the field of spiritual mysticism, those who have mastered it come first. You are already a senior whether you are academically or in cultivation. I call you Sir from the bottom of my heart." Terrence explained earnestly that even though he was ten years older than Duke, when he looked at Duke, he felt like he was looking up at a giant.
In his whole life, he never dared to expect a scholar title.
Duke will be able to get the title of sage immediately, and the gap between them can no longer be described by level, but a natural gap.
"Well, it's up to you." Duke didn't bother to be polite.
"I took a project from outside the tower, and designed a three-piece film and television set of spiritual weapon templates. I want to ask you to sign and review." Terrence took out a document respectfully.
Duke didn’t even look at it: “As I said, the film and television technology is released for free, so you don’t need to ask me to sign for the three-piece film and television project you accept. And you are no longer a student, you just stay in the tower to work, and you have the right to independently take the project.”
"I..." Terrence hesitated, "I used to ask Lord Sorel to sign."
"I'm not Sorel, so the previous set of rules don't need to be enforced." Duke patted Terrence on the shoulder, "The teacher gave me to take care of the mage tower, so let's formulate a set of rules together another day, and strive to provide a good research environment for every arcanist."
Terrence nodded heavily: "Yes, my lord."
Then he took his leave and left.
Duke continued the experiment in his own hands, without any assistants, and fully supported a more complicated experiment by himself.
Wait until the experiment is over.
Duke clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking at the crystal arm quietly suspended in front of him, his face filled with satisfaction.
"Xiao Yi, what do you think of this mysterious hand?"
"Master, this is a very practical 1-ring arcane artifact. It has achieved all the functions you expected, master. I will give it ninety-nine points, and the remaining one point is used to encourage myself to design better arcane artifacts for the master."
"I'll give you ninety-nine points for your score, and I will leave one point for encouraging you." Duke chuckled.
Talking about arcane weapons, he has two.
At the level of 1st ring, the 1st ring Sand Eagle is the undoubted top existence, and any piece of Arcane Duke will not be changed.
Although Olympic players are not top-notch, their auxiliary ability is exactly what Duke wants.
Having a top artificial intelligence like Xiaoyi is equivalent to having the top software system, but his body is a little weaker after all, which is equivalent to a slightly weaker hardware system. After the successful casting of Olympic hands, the hardware system has been greatly improved.
When it comes to fine manipulation, the effect of Austrian hand is too good.
"And..."
With a thought of Duke, the Austrian hand was raised suddenly, and at the same time, a silver and black Sand Eagle pistol appeared in the palm of the Austrian hand.
Duke himself did nothing.
The Olympian held the Sand Eagle in his hand and wandered around his body. According to the transmission distance of the psychic energy, the Olympian could be within one meter away from him at most.
The distance is not very far, but it is unexpected.
After holding the sand eagle for a while, the sand eagle dissipated, and Duke used the magic hand to cast the most skillful arcane spell—Mage's Hand.
"So, the Austrian hand is my most flexible third hand."
Duke smiled slightly.
The next second, the Austrian hand suddenly plunged into a pile of materials, and then scattered into countless tentacles, exploring deeply in the materials.
Through psychic perception, this pile of materials has been completely perceived by Duke.
Even the tiniest impurities can be distinguished.
"Not only the third hand, but also the third eye, and a weapon!" With a thought of Duke, the Austrian hand suddenly grabbed a piece of hard material.
This kind of material is almost indestructible without psionic decomposition.
However, as the Austrian hand continued to grasp it, the hard material unexpectedly made an unstoppable clicking sound, and after a few seconds, it was completely shattered into a pile of dregs.
There is no other reason.
The Olympian can also run Dou Qi, strengthening it in all directions, making it infinitely stronger and harder.
Almost indestructible.
"Huh."
"Perfect!"
Duke snapped his fingers, and the Austrian hand quickly disappeared. Looking at the empty laboratory, he strode out.
Along the way, I met the staff in the tower and received countless respectful and admiring eyes.
"gentlemen!"
Mulali walked over in small steps and greeted her: "My father and fifth grandfather are here to congratulate you and congratulate you on your promotion."
"Yeah, where are they now?"
"Waiting for you at Tower 2."
"Well, let's go." Duke returned to Tower 2 with his assistant.
In the living room, I saw Muhans Black Snake and Murkod Black Snake, both of whom were no strangers, but Duke clearly felt the crampedness of the two.
The last time we met, it was Duke who went to Cuihai Valley to release Xiaohong for her wedding flight. At that time, he was only a ring 1 arcanist and polymath.
Now, after half a year, Duke is already a 2nd-ring Arcane Mage, and is about to receive the title of Erudite Sage.
The speed of promotion is so fast that even the familiar people around him can't react.
"My lord!" Mukod stood up first and bowed to Duke.
Muhans followed closely behind, and also bowed and saluted: "My lord."
"You are too polite, Your Excellency Murkod, and Uncle Muhans." Duke smiled and beckoned the two to sit down.
Hearing that Duke still called his uncle, Muhans felt less embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Second Uncle is very happy to know that you have advanced to the 2nd ring. Let Fifth Uncle and I come over to congratulate you immediately."
Mukord also smiled and said: "Your promotion this time is the glory of the entire Snakehead Town. When we arrived, the whole town was on holiday to celebrate your promotion to the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage. Since the completion of Snakehead Town, this is the first time that the whole town celebrates."
"It's too grand." Duke said, "Although I have been promoted to the second ring, I am still an ordinary arcanist, so there is no need to mobilize so many people."
"The people are happy from the bottom of their hearts when they know the news. Our holiday is just to follow the people's will." Muhans explained.
Duke shook his head. It's hard for him to say anything about this kind of flattering plot.
Just said: "You guys will have lunch here at noon. I have been promoted to the 2nd ring. I have already agreed with the teacher. There is no celebration. Only family and friends will have a meal together."
No need to celebrate.
Because after a while, he will probably be able to get the title of Erudite Sage and become the top decision-maker of Heijiao River. It would be more appropriate to celebrate at that time.
noon.
It really is a family having a meal together.
In addition to Mu Hans and Mu Kede, the assistant Vikas also came to congratulate, including Mu Lali, Mu Lashan, and Vivian, who happened to be close to Duke. These close people also know well that they will not have any status.
Without pursuit, Fang Xian was natural, and had a happy lunch.
Duke chatted with him for a while after dinner, and then went out to greet new guests. Now he is very popular, and there is an endless stream of visitors.
As the assistant, Vikas called his granddaughter aside.
Watching her granddaughter put on light makeup, she felt quite relieved: "Although you are the captain of Duke's guard knights, you can leave the training of the team to other great knights. The most important thing for you now is to be by Duke's side, you know?"
"I know." Vivian nodded.
"Learn more from other women, see what methods they have, and then understand it with your heart. If you can bear an heir for Duke, your status will not be shaken in the slightest." Vikas urged.
Vivian suddenly raised her head and looked at her grandfather at the same level: "Even if you give birth to a child, this child is still an illegitimate child."
Vikas rolled his eyes: "What happened to the illegitimate child, so what about the illegitimate child."
Others are old and sophisticated, so they naturally know what Vivian is thinking, and said indifferently: "You must be complaining that I treated your father badly because of your father's status as an illegitimate child."
Vivian was silent, she really thought so.
Vikas said: "Actually, that's not the case. Although your father is my illegitimate son, I treated him well when I was a child, just like other sons. I didn't run out of patience until your father failed to open the Three Seas."
Under Vivienne's slightly astonished gaze, Vika said calmly: "This is the way this world is, only monks from Sanhai are entitled to enjoy resources and the love of their parents."
His tone was a little calmer, and he pointed at Vivian himself: "For example, you, although I am disappointed in your father, but you have the talent of the sea of blood, have I treated you badly? I also found the best instructor for you, trained you since childhood, and found a black-spotted serval contract for you, all of which you deserve."
at last.
He said in a solemn tone: "Talent is everything. In our family, it is the same in the Nutao family. The aristocratic system is collapsing, and the distinction between concubines and concubines has become weak. illegitimate children and legitimate children, whoever has talent can enjoy the resources."
Vivian was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly: "I see, Grandpa."
"A child can be taught. Your father is the general manager of the Giant of Light, and you are the captain of the guard knights for Duke. You already have the advantage, so don't feel inferior."
"yes."
"Okay, I know you don't like grandpa, so grandpa is leaving too." Vikas said, with his hands behind his back, ready to leave.
Vivian stepped forward and chased after him: "Grandpa, I'll see you off."
The corners of Vikas's mouth turned up slightly, thinking that the child Vial is a waste, but he gave birth to a good daughter.
Maybe the talent is not top-notch, and I will probably stop as a ring 1 knight in this life.
But with the blessing of spirituality, everything is possible. Being a person around Duke and giving birth to heirs in the future may not fail to inherit Duke's outstanding talent.
At that time, as a great-grandfather, I was honored!
