Chapter 229 The Erudite Sage Duke
The heat of any news has a time limit. Even Duke's record-breaking promotion to the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage will still dissipate the heat over time.
Coupled with Duke himself, he deliberately acted in a low-key manner, which made the heat dissipate even faster.
But this is in Duke's hands.
There are people visiting every day, and even arcane masters from other cities travel thousands of miles to visit, which annoys him very much.
At first, I was a little complacent, thinking that I was already a big shot, so there were so many guests. But as time goes by, I get bored, and it is more in line with my pursuit to close the door and concentrate on doing research.
"The biggest difference between an arcane weapon and a spiritual weapon is the degree of spiritual participation."
Suktara hugged a puppy and stood quietly behind Duke, watching Duke handle the spiritual materials while explaining the key points of knowledge.
"For example, the raw material in your hand is derived from a spirit beast, which has a strong spirituality. But this spirituality is more in the form of storage, juxtaposed with the material itself. After a long time, the spirituality will naturally dissipate."
"Such a material cannot be called a spiritual material without alchemy. It is just a simple spiritual raw material."
"Only by refining by means of alchemy and thoroughly tanning the spirituality and the material itself can it be regarded as a spiritual material, which can be preserved for a long time without losing the spirituality—of course, after a long time, the spirituality and the material may corrode each other and easily deteriorate."
"Only for spirit beasts with ring 4 and above that have crossed the spiritual barrier, the spirituality of the body can be directly integrated into the organization, regardless of each other. This will be a natural spiritual material."
Duke kept his hands busy, and his hands were also busy. He replied: "Spirit beasts with ring 3 and below have low spiritual and physical involvement and are easy to volatilize; spirit beasts with ring 4 and above have high spiritual and physical involvement and cannot be volatilized."
"You understand very well." Suktara nodded.
Duke made inferences: "Put it on an arcane weapon, a spiritual weapon, or a quasi-arcane weapon. The spiritual weapon has no spiritual participation, or only has a solidified spell model structure, which requires spiritual stimulation; the arcane weapon is highly involved in spirituality. It is itself a kind of spiritual energy, and the mind can be guided."
"Is such that?"
"What about the quasi-arcane weapon?"
"Quasi-arcane weapon is to use the material of the level of arcane weapon, through the reverse refining method of alchemy, solidify it into a common spiritual weapon. When it is used, it can quickly activate its properties of the arcane weapon, so as to realize the function that the spiritual weapon cannot achieve."
"I see." Duke expressed his understanding.
Xiaoyi is also in the spiritual sea, and quickly gave back information: "Xiaoyi understands, and it has been included in the underlying parameters of the database."
Duke may miss every sentence of dialogue and every knowledge point in teaching, but Xiaoyi will never.
The Linghai is infinite, so Xiaoyi's database capacity is also infinite.
It can store all the information that Duke comes into contact with, including what the eyes see, what the ears hear, what the nose smells, and what the skin perceives, all of which can be retrieved and replayed anytime, anywhere.
Nine rings itself represents an infinite possibility.
"You are now a level 2 arcane mage, and you can start refining the quasi-arcane weapon. The teacher will give you all the knowledge of the quasi-arcane weapon in the next time." Suktala smiled gratified.
Some teachers are afraid of being robbed of their jobs by students, while some teachers hope that students can excel. In Suktala, the better Duke is, the happier she is.
"Thank you teacher."
"Everything about the teacher will be handed over to you. When the teacher dies, you will have to help me with my funeral. You are like the teacher's child. There is no need to say thank you in the future."
Duke smiled: "Teacher, don't always think about death. With spiritual guidance, everything is possible. Maybe once you have an epiphany, you will be able to break through the fog of spiritual mysteries, be promoted to a great arcane master, and prolong your life."
Suktara did not refute, but responded gently: "Teacher believes in you."
The experiment is over, and so is today's teaching.
Although Duke has graduated from the Penrose Mage Tower, Suktala did not occupy Duke's time from morning till night. Usually a half-day course is arranged, and the remaining half-day is free for Duke.
So in the afternoon, Duke returned to Tower 2 and started the daily training of the 2nd Ring Arcane Master.
There is no substantial leap between the 2nd ring and the 1st ring.
After all, the 1st ring, 2nd ring, and 3rd ring arcane mages are all ordinary arcane mages, and they have not been able to break through the fog of spiritual arcane magic, so there will be no qualitative change in the level of life.
"Xiaoyi, report the progress."
"Okay master." Xiaoyi directly projected the progress table onto the Dou Qi holographic screen, "The progress has been clearly listed."
Process 1: Exclusive meditation method, vision resonance, 15% power consumption when on-hook...
Process 2: Elemental shield-arcane shield, wonder linkage, construction consumes 70% power...
Process 3: Sand Eagle 2.0, the sublimation of arcane weapons, research and development consumes 10% power...
Process 4: Austrian hand 2.0, the sublimation of arcane weapons, research and development consumes 4% power...
Process 5: Interactive program, reserve 1% power...
Five processes, each process has clear data display, you only need a flash of thought to click on it.
"After being promoted to the second ring, although there is no qualitative change, there are many details." Duke glanced at the progress and thought.
First of all, it is the practice of meditation. The efficiency of the exclusive meditation method in absorbing free spiritual particles has been greatly improved. And the vision that can originally assist meditation to speed up the absorption efficiency can already resonate after ascending the ring.
Duke has 11 visions, which resonate with each other, at least doubling the efficiency of exclusive meditation methods to absorb spirituality.
Meditation does not increase knowledge of spiritual mysteries.
But without meditation methods to absorb spiritual particles, there would be no materials for constructing arcane wonders in the spiritual sea, nor would there be any spiritual energy to drive arcane weapons.
Therefore, the exclusive meditation method is compulsory every day.
"Elemental shields and arcane shields are linked with each other, the defense will be further improved, and my safety will be more guaranteed!"
He looked at process two and was delighted.
2 Ring Arcane Mage, the spiritual core in the spiritual sea, has a second ring track, and a new arcane wonder can be built on this ring track.
And the arcane wonders on the two tracks can interact with each other to enhance each other's power. This is the linkage of wonders.
Of course, the two arcane wonders of the wonder linkage must have similarities in common, otherwise the linkage will fail.
A 1-ring arcane shield, the best linkage object is a 2-ring elemental shield.
If arcane shields are composed of pure spiritual energy, then elemental shields are shields composed of excited elements. Not only is the defense stronger, but the defense attributes can also have multiple changes.
The wonders of each other are linked together, and the 2-ring combined arcane-elemental arcane shield can be cast instantly.
Correspondingly, the construction of the 2-ring arcane wonders took longer. The time budget given by Xiaoyi is more than 700 days, which is two years.
"It's okay to sharpen your sword for two years." Duke didn't think it was too long.
For Arcane Masters, the time is not so tight. It usually takes more than ten years or even decades to practice in a certain realm.
Plenty of time to build arcane wonders.
As for the three and four on the progress table, the arcane weapon is sublimated.
One is to upgrade the Sand Eagle to 2.0, that is, to evolve the first-ring Sand Eagle to a second-ring Sand Eagle, and the other is to upgrade the Olympic hand to 2.0. Neither is an option that needs to be completed urgently, so only a little power is allocated to hang it.
"Cultivate, the visible progress will make the boring practice a kind of enjoyment." Duke closed his eyes.
By closing your eyes, you have practiced until evening.
Dang Dang Dang, the door of the training room was knocked, and the voice of the butler Morris sounded: "Master, Ms. Kiria is visiting, and she brought the elf Kikyo."
Opening his eyes, two divine lights flashed across the dimly lit training room.
Duke got up and responded, "I'm going down now."
While going downstairs, he called out the chick from the sea of air. The chick's appearance didn't change much, and it swam downstairs quickly.
After seeing Kikyo, he took Kikyo and started playing wildly in the tower.
"Kilia, are you off work?" Duke greeted Kylia Rage to take a seat, then picked up a small apple, quickly swung the knife, peeled the apple, and handed it over.
"Thank you." Kylia smiled sweetly.
Her favorite fruit is apples, and she eats two apples every day. Perhaps because of this, her skin is fragile.
I took a bite of the apple and felt it was extra sweet.
Kiliya said: "The company has been registered. According to your name, it is called DreamWorks Film and Television Company."
"Not bad, the speed is quite fast." Duke said happily, "After the establishment of DreamWorks, you have to recruit talents and develop film and television related technologies; on the other hand, you have to find suitable actors for performances and writers who can write screenplays to interpret films."
Although there are no movies, there should be dramas, dramas, musicals, and the Seven Towers Federation has also flourished to this day.
That is to say, it has the foundation of film and television entertainment.
"To achieve the phantom level you describe, the current film and television technology is definitely not enough. The capacity of the slideshow card roll is too small."
"It's okay, just expand slowly." Duke laughed.
A movie, with 24 frames as the standard, means 24 frames per second. At ninety minutes long, there are 129,600 frames.
The capacity of a 1-ring slide card, the standard is about 10 pictures.
It is equivalent to saying that to make a phantom, 12,960 slide cards are needed. This is not playing a movie, it is burning money.
So I want to shoot phantoms.
DreamWorks Film and Television Company has a long way to go, especially in technology research and development, which requires a lot of energy.
"Duke, my family's mage tower is not very good at related academic research fields, and grandpa and grandpa haven't taught students for a long time."
Kiliya suggested: "So I want DreamWorks to cooperate with Suktara Mage Tower to release relevant topics to Mage Tower, and Mage Tower will hire Arcane Masters to conduct research and develop film and television related technologies."
Duke nodded: "No problem."
Then he added: "If not, you might as well tell Mentor Penrose that you also have a part-time job in Suktara. Film and television technology is mainly the study of slide cards, which will also help you learn how to make cards."
Kiliya's eyes bent into crescent moons: "You think so, you want me to come to Suktara Master Tower every day?"
"Why not, it serves multiple purposes." Duke said with a smile.
"Then I'll go and tell my tutor, I don't know if my tutor will agree, my talent is not as high as yours, and my tutor may not agree to my distraction."
"How can this be a distraction? This is equivalent to you accepting a related research topic in the field of card making." Duo held Kiria's hand, "It doesn't take much energy for you to lead a project here."
Kilia didn't pull her hand away, let Duke hold it, and then said shyly and joyfully, "I'll listen to you."
"Stay with me for dinner tonight?"
"No, my parents specifically asked me to go back for dinner tonight." Kylia gave Duke an apologetic look.
Duke naturally understands the attitude of Kylia's parents—not to interfere with her daughter's making friends, but don't think about anything out of the ordinary.
When it was dark, Kiriya reluctantly said goodbye and left, taking away Kikyo, who was playing crazy.
Watching the shuttle disappear around the corner.
Chicken was a little disappointed: "Duke, when you take down the big girl, I can play with Kikyo every day."
"You can't take it down, Kikyo is not Kylia's elf." Duke shook his head.
Kylia has never opened the Sea of Qi, so she cannot contract an elf.
Platycodon is contracted to a 2-ring elf envoy of the Nutao family, and is responsible for cultivating Lingzhi rice for the Nutao family-its body is the 2-ring elf Ben Lingzhi-Xiang Xiangu, which can infect rice relatives.
"But the platycodon can be used as Kiria's dowry." Chick actively advised Duke, "The blond old man likes Kiria so much, he must agree to use platycodon as a dowry!"
"Stop it, don't think too much." Duke was too lazy to talk nonsense.
My fair lady, a gentleman is fond of her, but what will happen to Kiria's future is still uncertain.
And he himself planned to develop for a few years first, and then went to the holy city of Austrian law to increase his knowledge.
In the future, it is possible to visit all eighteen human countries, and then explore in the wild jungle.
Traveling through a journey, how can you stay in a small place for a lifetime.
"Letting nature take its course is the best choice." Duke patted the chick, "Hurry up and go back to Qihai to rest, and you have to practice together at night."
Chick muttered: "You know how to squeeze me!"
"You and I are one. If I oppress you, isn't it the same as oppressing myself. This can only mean that I am hardworking."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you!" The chick bumped into his stomach and disappeared.
"Chichi!" Xiaodou, who had been playing wildly outside all day, followed Levin back home before dark.
"Levin, where did you go?"
"I went to Lingchi Farm, master." Levin replied with a smile, "Xiaodou played with Xiaohong for a long time."
Lingchi Farm has moved outside the castle of Suktara Mage Tower, so Xiaohong's lair has also moved here.
Duke has learned some skills in animal taming, so he goes to practice with Xiaohong when he has time, and trains this group of 5-ring crypt army ants to be obedient.
Now the ant colony is still small, after a new female ant is separated and lays eggs, the 0-ring knight can contract the female ant and become a Gu knight. With the help of the Gu knight, the entire ant colony is brought under control, which becomes a great help.
Bernoulli is proficient in this way, he is a gu scholar, and he controls several armies of spirit insects under his command.
"Is Xiaohong friendly to Xiaodou?" Duke asked.
"Friendly, Xiaohong asked his subordinates to bring a lot of dried meat to Xiaodou, and give me one!" Levin replied excitedly.
Since he moved to Suktara Mage Tower, he has been playing around with a small pocket all day long, and his life is not to mention very happy.
Duke is also very happy about this situation.
He has always regarded Levin as his family, and even once discussed with Xiaoyi whether it is possible to help Levin open the sea of blood without damaging Levin's body. Unfortunately, Xiaoyi did not.
Now that Levin is getting older, it is even more impossible to open the sea of blood.
Actually, people who are fifteen or sixteen years old cannot open the Blood Sea, basically there is no possibility of opening it—Xiao Yi is an exception.
"Go and rest, Xiaodou stay here."
"Chiji."
"Follow me to the yard. I want to check your progress in cultivation. If you haven't improved, I won't let Levin take you out to play next time." Although Duke didn't expect Xiaodou to evolve into a phantom beast.
But I will not indulge Xiaodou, and must be strictly supervised.
If there is a possibility of evolution, you have to work hard to realize it. If the spirituality is really favored, wouldn't it be profitable.
"Chichi!" Xiaodou also knew that it was related to his happy life in the future, so he mustered up his strength and moved around in the yard.
Release 1-ring Arcane-Sharp Burr for a while, and release 1-ring Arcane-Earth for a while.
This is its only arcane art that is solidified.
In Duke’s eyes, no matter how hard it tries, its strength is not enough. Even Duke didn't need to take out the sand eagle, nor did he need to release arcane spells. He could kill it simply by relying on his fighting spirit armor.
However, at least one thing, Xiaodou has indeed worked hard, making a lot of progress compared to the last time.
"Very good, passable performance."
"Chi Chi!"
"Go, go, go to Levin." Duke shook his head and laughed, his contract spirit beast partner, his heart is no longer with him.
"Playful little guy!"
…
At the end of March, catkins are flying.
Runwu City was drizzly, and in the arcane projection room of the observation tower, the instrument lit up, and then a handsome middle-aged arcanist walked out.
The middle-aged arcanist saw a white-haired old man waiting in the room at a glance, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Montgomery, the messenger of the Observation Tower of the Holy City of Almighty, has met the chief director of Siscoli."
"It turned out to be the messenger of Montgomery. I have never seen you before. Are you the new messenger?" Siscili asked.
"Yes, I've only been on the job for less than three months."
"You should not be over eighty years old, right?" Siscili sighed, "You are really young, a great arcane mage who is less than eighty years old."
"My talent is far behind. Compared with the record-breaking young arcane mage in Shenjiao City, it is insignificant." Montgomery laughed. "This time, my arcane projection is here to convey instructions related to Duke."
"Please say."
"It was recommended by the Supreme Review Committee of the Erudite Tower of the Holy City of Offa, and approved by the Judgment Committee of the Tower of Offa, and approved and canonized Duke as a erudite sage. Please moisten the city observation tower and **** Duke to the Tower of Offa to accept the award ceremony."
Montgomery announced the will with a serious face.
Siskoli immediately responded in a deep voice: "Please send the envoy to reply to the Holy City Observation Tower. Siskoli will personally **** Duke to the Holy City to accept the awarding ceremony!"
After completing the task handover, Montgomery returned to his smile: "Please trouble the chief director to make a trip in person."
"This is what I should do as the chief director of the observation tower." Siscili said with a smile, "It is also a matter of great honor for me to witness the birth of a sage with my own eyes."
"Then I will be in the Holy City, welcoming the arrival of the chief director and erudite sages." Without too much nonsense, Montgomery's figure dispersed.
Sis Coleton sighed in situ: "Educated sage, 19-year-old erudite sage, spirituality loves him!"
Immediately left the Austrian law projection room.
Quickly ordered his assistant: "Get ready for the battleship Canglan, and I'm going to Shenjiao City."
"Yes, my lord."
Not long after, a blue battleship that seemed to be integrated with the blue sky slowly lifted off and flew towards the west.
Battleships are faster than airships, but only to a limited extent.
After a two-day and one-night voyage, the battleship Canglan finally arrived in Shenjiao City on April 1st, and berthed at the warship berth of the Keyston Mage Tower.
Everyone knows and tacitly agrees that Shenjiao City is the territory of the Nutao family.
Kiston Nutao is the owner of Shenjiao City.
"Your Excellency Siscili, you are welcome to come as a guest." Keyston greeted with a big smile, with blond hair like a lion king.
"I'm not here to be a guest on this trip, Keyston, congratulations on the birth of a remarkable person in Shenjiao City." Siscolli cupped his hands, "The spirituality of Heijiaohe land is pervasive, just like the newly discovered springs in Cuihai Valley, which is enviable."
"what do you mean?"
"The Erudition Tower recommended, Offa Tower ruled, officially canonized Duke as an Erudite Sage, and I will personally guard him from now on, and go to the Holy City of Alfa to participate in the awarding ceremony."
"It really happened?" Even though Keyston had expected it, he was still shocked when he heard the news suddenly.
"From his invention of film and television technology, one can guess that a title of erudition and sage will never escape. Now not only I run Wucheng, but I am afraid that the entire Seven Towers Federation and all the erudites are studying film and television technology."
Paused, he added: "Strong light technology illuminates the night, and film and television technology changes the world. If he doesn't take the title of sage, who is qualified to take it?"
"Spirituality is above all, strong and strong!"
"Spirit loves him!"
After sighing with emotion, Keyston said: "Master Siscili, please come in and drink tea. I will send someone to inform Duke and invite him to come over. After lunch at my place at noon, it will not be too late to leave for the Holy City of Alfa."
"Alright, let's bother."
"My lord, you are welcome." Keyston laughed.
Immediately walked into the mage's tower side by side, took the spiritual ladder to the small garden on the top of the sky, and waited for Duke while drinking tea.
Within half an hour.
Duke came by shuttle and followed the butler to the Zenith Garden.
"Duke, come quickly, this old man will introduce you." Keyston started waving from a long distance away, "This is His Excellency Siskoli, Chief Director of the Observation Tower of Runwu City, the sixth-ring sky magician, and I am here to see you!"
"I have met Lord Siscili." Duke knew in his heart, and saluted neither humble nor overbearing.
Siscoli looked at Duke with a smile, and was not in a hurry to speak. After looking at Duke for a full minute, he said, "Spirituality, I have seen a strong spirituality in you. His Excellency Keyston said that you grew up in a spring, and I believe it now."
"You are absurd."
"Not yet, Sage Duke."
"Sage?" Duke squinted, knowingly asking.
Siscolli is also unwilling to keep it secret: "Offata has officially awarded you the title of Erudite Sage, but you need to go to the Holy City to attend the awarding ceremony. I will personally **** you on this trip."
Passed?
No surprises?
Duke has imagined many times how he should behave when he has won the title of Erudite Sage, but his heart still beats faster at this moment.
A erudite sage is a status equal to that of a great Austrian mage.
Perhaps in a big city like the Holy City of Arcana and Runwu City, the Great Arcane Master is a bit ordinary, but in a small city like Shenjiao City, the Great Arcane Master is the ceiling.
Now, Duke has already touched the ceiling of Shenjiao City.
Trying to calm down the turmoil in his heart, Duke showed a satisfied smile: "Everything is spiritual guidance!"
"Boy, your smile is fake now." Keyston laughed and teased, "Laugh if you want to laugh, there are few proud moments in life, if you don't laugh out loud now, you will never have this opportunity in the future!"
Siscoli nodded in agreement.
Duke didn't care at all, but said calmly: "This is my first title of sage, but it will definitely not be my last title of sage. So, Lord Keyston, I believe I still have many chances."
"Oh!" Kiston gave a thumbs up, "That's right, you should be wild when you're young. I'm your age, and everyone in Shenjiao City doesn't know that I'm notorious as a blond lion! The crazier I am, the more girls love me!"
Duke smiled politely.
Even if you are not crazy, with the name of the Nutao family, people who love you will also line up.
After flattering each other for a while, it was time for lunch, and we pushed and changed glasses, and ate a meal for a full hour.
Duke resigned first.
He is going back to pack his things. This trip to the Holy City of Alfa is estimated to take a month, so he has to make preparations.
Pick up and tidy up things, and then send news to familiar friends, busy until everything is tidied up, it is already dark.
"No more, teacher." Duke hugged the teacher.
Immediately, he gave Kilia a gentle hug in the seeing-off team: "Wait for me to come back."
Only then did they board the battleship Canglan with their mighty entourage, and set off for the Holy City of Alfa, the capital of the Seven Towers Federation.
Click, click!
The light of the slide card flickered, and the reporters stood in the distance and kept raising the slide cards in their hands until the Canglan battleship disappeared into the sky.
Carried the learned and sage Duke to the holy place of coronation.
