Chapter 246 Phantom Explosion
Grandma Pheasant Feather has been transformed into the tower spirit of Duke Sage's Mage Tower.
Relying on the extension of the main backbone of the Mage Tower, it can swim from Yajian Spring to Yagen Spring. After the construction of the subsequent castle is completed, all areas of the entire Lingya Mountain will be the "body" of Grandma Zhiyu, and everything will be included in its monitoring.
And within the control range of Grandma Pheasant Feather, it can have absolute control over the Mage Tower.
Duke doesn't need to worry about whether Grandma Pheasant will disobey him.
In the tower spirit transformation ceremony, the signing of the master-servant contract has been completed in the form of a contract. Whoever is the master of the mage tower, the tower spirit will listen to him.
In the field of spiritual mystery.
Basically no one can take advantage of the arcanist's loopholes.
"Qiyu, I will leave the matter of Lingya Mountain to you." Duke said goodbye to Grandma Zhiyu, and then left the minaret attic.
In the restaurant on the third floor, which was decorated earlier, Carter Flamingo had already prepared a sumptuous lunch to entertain Duke and his party—Cuihai City has not yet been built, and there is no hotel for dining, so they can only entertain casually on the construction site.
James, the person in charge of Lingchi Farm, also rushed over from the farm at the foot of the mountain to accompany Duke to have lunch.
"My lord, the Lingzhi Yulu is ready. I have discussed with His Excellency Carter. When decorating the interior of the Mage Tower, we will arrange an aura belt that spirals upward around the Mage Tower, and transplant the Lingzhi Yulu in the aura belt."
James introduced.
The free spiritual particles from Yajianquan and Yagenquan are enough for most people to practice, but if you want to pursue a further spiritual environment, you have to use spiritual plants to sort them out.
It just so happens that Duke’s own Lingchi farm has a large number of Lingzhi Yulu infected by the 2-ring elf Ben Lingzhi-Ji Yulu. Although these jade dews are mainly of the 1st ring, the advantage is that they are large enough to tease out a strong spiritual aura.
"The idea of the aura belt is good, yes." Duke nodded in agreement.
Carter said: "Your Excellency James said that there are too few 2-ring Yulu in Lingchi Farm, and it is difficult to buy enough 2-ring Yulu on the market, so the effect of the aura belt is not enough. We need to buy more spiritual plants that can be grown indoors."
"Buy." Duke waved his hand, "You are familiar with spiritual plants, James, and you will be responsible for purchasing spiritual plants, and then plant them in the mage tower."
"Yes, my lord!" James readily responded.
Procurement has always been the most lucrative project. Duke has no moral obsession, and within a reasonable range, he doesn't mind his subordinates making money.
Once it goes too far, Duke will naturally make a move.
As for whether it is possible to find out whether his subordinates have made false accounts and made money, this is simply a sub-question for Duke. There is no way to hide any account books in front of Xiao Yi-Xiao Yi can find out the market price of every commodity and the loss of every item.
"Carter, the spiritual plant on the mountain, you have to start as soon as possible." Duke said again, "After the mage tower is running and there are more and more people, the castle should be built as soon as possible. I am very satisfied with this mage tower, so the castle is still in your charge."
"Thank you, sir, for your trust!" Carter was overjoyed.
Then solemnly assured: "You can rest assured that when we, Flamingo Construction Group, designed the mage tower plan, we have already prepared the castle plan together. We have not tampered with any of the original spiritual plants on the mountain, and we will directly integrate them into the castle!"
"That's good."
Although spiritual plants can be transplanted, Duke still likes native spiritual plants, that is, wild spiritual plants that have never been transplanted.
The original Lingzhi always gave him a natural atmosphere.
Although Lingya Mountain has been reclaimed, he still hopes to retain a little of its original appearance. These original spiritual plants are the best preservation.
"My castle, I hope to be a green castle, Carter, I hope the castle can be hidden among green plants. The castle is a garden, and the garden is a castle. Walking in the castle is like walking in nature."
"Understood, my lord." Carter nodded.
Compared to other weird requests, the request of the Green Castle is simply not worth mentioning.
During the entire lunch time, Duke was describing his vision for the castle and Lingtooth Mountain.
Carter listened carefully and memorized, his mind was all on work, he didn't know what the food tasted like.
In the afternoon.
Accompanied by James, Duke went to the new site of Lingchi Farm, which is now listed as the No. 2 Lingchi Farm.
The original Lingchi Farm on the outskirts of the Suktara Master Tower became the No. 1 Lingchi Farm.
The two mage towers are already Duke's property, and there is absolutely no reason to give up one of them, so both hands have to be tough.
At this time, in Lingchi No. 2 Farm, the scale of Yulu is still small.
But the scale of the Chuuxuezhu has grown, and a large number of Chuuxuezhu have sprouted, and tiny shoots have grown.
"Several growth areas of Fuxue Zhu in Mutant Forest No. 3 have been protected, and the mercenaries have divided up these growth areas according to their background. Among the big figures who are interested in Fu Xue Zhu, you have the highest status, so the Broken Sword Mercenary Group has monopolized the largest growth area."
"Really." Duke was surprised.
But soon relieved.
Although Mutated Forest No. 3 belongs to the public area of Heijiaohe Land, after all, everything in Heijiaohe Land is decided by the arcanist.
Kiston Nutao and the others are not interested in blowing Xuezhu, Duke is the only one in the sequence of great arcane mages. Naturally, the Broken Sword Mercenary Corps proudly occupied the largest growth area because it was Duke's private employment.
No one gossips, this is the default rule of the Seven Towers Federation.
"So now when Chuixuezhu matures and gathers, Broken Sword can send a large amount of spore powder, and Lingchi Farm will no longer be short of seeds." James laughed.
Since choosing to be loyal to Duke, he has become a vassal of Duke.
Although he has lost a certain degree of freedom, as Duke's status has been rising, he is now rising with the tide, and he is a guest wherever he goes.
For example, when eating at noon, even a noble arcanist like Carter Flamingo had to discuss friendship with his peers.
It made him work harder.
"For the cultivation of Chuuxuezhu, don't be perfunctory." Duke warned.
"Don't worry, my lord."
"Go back, I'm going to take a stroll in the No. 3 mutant forest." Duke sent James back, and brought his guard Cavaliers into the No. 3 mutant forest.
Different from the surrounding forests, the No. 3 mutant forest is colorful and gaudy.
All kinds of weird and evil plants almost subvert Duke's understanding of the natural world—big trees with tentacles, flowers with big mouths, leaves with eyes, fruits with human faces, and shrubs with legs running around...
This is simply a weird place, where the boundary between animals and plants becomes blurred.
Compared with the evil plants that can be seen everywhere, there are far fewer evil beasts, but their appearance is even weirder. There are muntjacs woven from rattan, wild boars covered with flowers, owls with slender leaves fluttering in flight, and more rotting zombies.
"What the **** is the abomination?" Duke rode on the spirit horse, his gaze swept across the surrounding scene solemnly.
The abomination that died for hundreds of millions of years is just a shell that has faded away, and even the main body of the shell has been destroyed by the arcane mages. A little bit of evil spirit that remains can still change everything.
Siscoli once said that abomination is the opposite of spirituality.
The abomination feeds on spirituality, and especially likes to devour spiritual springs. When it swallows a mouthful of spiritual springs, it will leave scars on the earth.
There are dozens of earth scars in the Wind Breath domain alone.
represents dozens of spiritual springs, which were swallowed up by gods in ancient times.
As for the No. 3 mutant forest in front of you, it is obviously not a scar on the earth, but at most a scar on the surface of the earth. Even the Arcane Master will be affected and distorted by the scar of the earth; the scar of the earth will also affect ordinary animals and plants.
"I can't understand!" Duke sighed in his heart.
is even more firm in his belief: "So I must climb to the peak of spiritual mysteries, otherwise I will know nothing about this world!"
…
After finishing his trip to Lingya Mountain, Duke stayed at Black Snake Manor for another night, and set off to return to Suktara Master Tower the next day.
It's already April and May.
More than a dozen phantom opera houses in Shenjiao City are still playing "Romeo and Juliet" continuously. It seems that the citizens can't get enough of it, and some people even watched it more than ten times.
"Just for the box office of this phantom film, we have already reached 100,000 Golden Dragons in Heijiao River alone. This is too exaggerated, Duke." Kilia leaned in Duke's arms, and whispered an account, "Even if the accounts are divided and costs are deducted, DreamWorks' box office revenue in Shenjiao City can reach 50,000 Golden Dragons."
"Romeo and Juliet" was screened in about 20 Phantom Opera Houses in Heijiaohe for nearly four months.
A phantom ticket is priced at 2 silver dragons.
A phantom opera house has four or five projection halls, each of which can accommodate one hundred people, and can show about eight performances a day.
The current results can only be achieved if the stadium is full.
"We can earn 50,000 gold dragons in Heijiaohe land alone. According to the current momentum, it is not difficult to earn another 30,000 gold dragons in the future. The expected income of the entire wind breath field is no less than 400,000 gold dragons. Expanding to the entire Seven Towers Federation, 4 million gold dragons is possible!"
Kiliya became more and more excited as she counted, even though she was born in a noble family, she grew up in the money pile, and she is still crazy about it.
He put his arms around Duke's neck and kissed madly: "You are amazing, Duke!"
Waiting for the violent kiss to subside, Duke licked his lips, and then said: "Your calculation is too idealistic. It is not easy to get the box office in other fields, and it is even difficult to get the box office in other cities in this field."
"I know that." Kylia has regained her senses, and said softly, "Take it as much as you can, no matter what, the income of 500,000 golden dragons should be guaranteed... This phantom film, many big people are staring at it, and the food in the outer domain and the outer city should be restrained a bit."
"500,000 golden dragons, almost." Duke nodded.
Different from patent fees, this kind of phantom film release is a new business model. Before the rules are set, it is difficult to protect the income.
Even excuses are easy to come by—they have already bought the phantom card and paid the copyright fee, how many people will watch it, how much will they earn, and it has nothing to do with your DreamWorks?
"I will write to the Tower of Erudition and suggest to them to formulate a detailed box office distribution model and establish content copyright for the phantom film. However, whether the Tower of Erudition will promote this model is not up to me to decide."
"Your box office distribution model has taken into account the interests of the producers, distributors, and theaters. The arcane masters of the most knowledgeable tower will definitely pass it." Kylia has a look of admiration in her eyes, and she is more confident than Duke.
To put it bluntly, she is just a 23-year-old young girl.
After being promoted to an arcanist at the age of eighteen, for five years, he was constantly impacted by Duke's influence.
Worship is also inevitable.
"It doesn't matter how knowledgeable the tower makes decisions." Duke pinched Kylia's slightly baby-fat face, feeling very good, "After the 500,000 Golden Dragon arrives in the account, part of the funds that DreamWorks burned in the early stage can be recovered, and finally there is no need to refinance."
"yes."
"Then my lovely little rich woman, should you treat me?"
DreamWorks makes a lot of money, but the Giant of Light, which produces phantom card rolls and projection equipment, also makes a lot of money.
DreamWorks is difficult to recover the box office in other fields in terms of box office distribution.
The Giant of Light is protected by patent rights, as well as restrictions on master discs, all phantom card rolls are produced here. As for the equipment patents, they are all in the hands of Duke, even if the world is far away, the patent fees that should be paid are indispensable.
"It is said to be a nominee, but..." Duke hooked Kiria's chin, "I have decided to transfer the shares of DreamWorks to our future children."
Kilia's eyes were filled with mist: "Do you want him to be born now?"
"why not."
Duke is bullying himself.
Kilia pushed him away forcefully, with a charming smile on her face: "Then you should get my parents' permission first."
Then he ran away with a smile and left Duke's office.
Hands are still warm, and the tip of the nose still has body fragrance. Duke was lost for a while, then shook his head and laughed: "Sure enough, the women who can be promoted to arcanists are not ordinary little girls... Willpower cannot be compared."
but.
He didn't intend to go to Kylia's parents, and everything went with the flow.
"Xiao Yi, tidy up today's experiment process." Duke sorted out some messy clothes and started today's formal work.
"Okay master, you need to host the experiment of 'Ring Replication Materials - Effects of General Spiritual Materials' this morning, to obtain the effects of common materials currently on the market, added to the ring replication system, in order to expand the ring replication material database."
Xiaoyi reminded with all her heart.
Duke is in the field of alchemy, and has basically finished learning the knowledge that should be learned, and now he is starting to start basic research.
First, fully grasp the attributes of various general-purpose spiritual materials, expand Xiaoyi’s database, and lay the foundation for the real creation of ring replica materials in the future—after all, Xiaoyi’s calculations need solid data support. The more data, the higher the probability of successful calculation.
Busy and busy, the day passed.
Duke in the evening, took his assistants and knights for a walk after dinner, and then went back to Tower 2 to rest.
Sit cross-legged on the bed and turn on the elf form.
Intense free spiritual particles rushed towards his body like a huge vortex.
In the spiritual sea, eleven kinds of visions and three kinds of mysteries are all constantly changing and disillusioned, and produce strange resonance rhythms.
This is vision resonance, which greatly improves the efficiency of meditation to absorb spiritual particles. It is a cultivation method that only 2-ring arcanists can master.
If there is no vision resonance, the construction speed of wonders will also slow down.
Look inside the spiritual sea.
Duke's thinking instantly crossed the boundless distance of Linghai, and drove to the center of Linghai. The arcane spectacle and the hand of the arcane weapon on the first ring track ran smoothly. On the second ring track, the elemental shield and the second ring sand eagle are also running smoothly, and the little beast is under construction.
Farther away, Jiuhuan Xiaoyi is running leisurely.
However, Duke's gaze directly crossed several layers of orbits, and cast his eyes on the most central spiritual core. When he was just promoted to the second ring, the spiritual core had already formed a spherical structure from zigzag energy lines. At this time, a new layer of structure protruded from the surface of the sphere's spiritual core.
Still maintains the spherical structure, but the surface is larger, with more twists and turns, and the cognition of spiritual arcana is also larger.
He glanced at the work schedule not far away.
Progress 1 has always been an exclusive meditation method, and the progress of his cultivation has reached 23.4%, and it has only been two years since he was promoted to the 2nd Ring Arcane Mage.
Most 2-ring arcane mages may only build an arcane wonder in two years.
If you want to be promoted from the 2nd ring to the 3rd ring, it will take thirty years at the shortest time. In addition, it generally takes more than ten years to advance from the first ring to the second ring; the age to be promoted to an arcanist is generally over twenty years old. So most of the 3rd Ring Arcane Masters are at least over 60 years old.
Now, Duke's cultivation progress can be said to be extremely fast.
"It's really wonderful. My thinking is sublimating every moment. I can often understand more knowledge about spiritual mysteries by looking ahead." Duke couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This is spiritual feedback. The people of the entire Seven Towers Federation are helping me practice!"
A "Romeo and Juliet" directly promotes film and television technology to thousands of households. People who feel the charm of film and television technology, as long as they have admiration in their hearts.
So.
The complex mapping of spirituality will bring spiritual feedback to Duke and assist him in rapid cultivation.
Nowadays, the spiritual arcana is rapidly sinking to the bottom, and the natural science promoted by the Erudite Tower plays a vital role. The rapid development of the Erudite Tower is naturally related to the arcane masters gradually groping for the operation principle of spiritual feedback.
In the past, ordinary people were only regarded as slaves, or even slaves, by arcane masters to cultivate offspring and provide resources.
Ordinary people today can assist arcane masters in their cultivation.
So the aristocratic system is gradually abolished, and the bottom society is vigorously developed, and then the spiritual arcana is backward compatible to obtain more spiritual feedback.
I don’t know how many arcane masters have benefited from this.
The wonderful feeling made people intoxicated, Duke continued to practice like this, and he didn't finish his evening practice until Chick was panting from exhaustion.
"The spiritual feedback is fierce, and this is just the beginning of film and television technology!"
Duke clenched his fists and looked forward to the coming era of film and television entertainment. It can be said that this era was completely born for him.
Indeed.
June has just arrived, "Romeo and Juliet" has been decadent in Shenjiao City, and DreamWorks released the second fantasy film.
Although "Romeo and Juliet" is still in theaters in other cities, large and small film and television companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, placing orders with the Giant of Light, ordering professional cameras, phantom cartridges and projection equipment.
Phantom Opera Houses were also opened one after another, and everyone was attracted by the money scene that broke out in the phantom film, and rushed to invest in it.
Coupled with the promotion of the learned tower, the entire Seven Towers Federation is advocating phantom films.
"Romeo and Juliet" is destined to be included in the annals of the Seven Towers Federation, and Duke has been blown into a generation of great writers.
the reason is simple.
"Romeo and Juliet" has been adapted into a novel by contracted playwrights and writers of DreamWorks, and published under the name of Duke.
Compared to the phantom films that can only be seen in the Phantom Opera House, once the novel is released, it is quickly obtained by publishing houses in various fields, and then quickly published in their respective sites, and then sold out by the public.
If you can’t see the phantom film blown to explosion, then read the book first.
As a result, Duke became a generation of great writers in this way—arcane masters and great writers are not in conflict. Many arcane masters have outstanding achievements in the field of art, such as playwrights, musicians, poets, painters, dancers, and so on.
""Thalia's Girls" is far less popular than "Romeo and Juliet" when it was released, and the evaluation is not as good as "Romeo and Juliet"."
In the Tower of Learning, Erwin is drinking tea and chatting with Duke.
Duke said with a smile: ""Romeo and Juliet" consumed most of the enthusiasm of the public. It is normal for "The Girls of Thalia" to be cold. After all, the ticket price of two silver dragons will scare many people away. Especially in a small border city like ours."
The purchasing power of a silver dragon, in Duke's view, is equivalent to about a hundred dollars on Earth.
When he traveled through time, the economy was highly developed, and the ticket price of tens of yuan was expensive, not to mention that Shenjiao City is still in a backward social environment.
The people really have no money.
When he first crossed over, he worked as an apprentice, and only received five silver dragons a month, and the regular worker was only fifteen to twenty silver dragons a month.
"The work is still not good enough. "Talia's Girls" is a fantasy film adapted from a stage play. The screenwriting skills are not good enough. Compared with you, it is indeed far behind." Erwin said with a smile, "You are a well-known writer."
"It's just flattery from outsiders who don't know the truth."
"It's not flattery." Erwin said in a rare and serious manner, "You do have a strong talent in literature, and you can see this from your thesis. I can say that among the more than 300 arcanists in Shenjiao City, no one's thesis is more artistic than yours."
The paper refers to the academic value, but the artistry of the article itself is also a consideration.
Duke smiled.
Who is Xiaoyi, who has read through tens of thousands of high-quality papers, and has refined a perfect and reliable method of writing papers.
"The Phantom Industry Base is booming now, and Shenjiao City's status as an entertainment capital has already begun to emerge." Erwin continued, "Recently, I don't know how many foreigners have come to visit DreamWorks, looking for Romeo and Juliet."
The entertainment industry already exists, and the behavior of chasing stars will naturally rise.
"Isn't this great? It would be even better if we could keep these tourists in Shenjiao City." Duke nodded.
"Yes, there are two cities in Heijiaohe, and the population is in short supply."
"I think the Union Tower should guide these tourists, guide them to Cuihai City, and let them know the benefits of Cuihai City. Whether the tourists stay by themselves, or the tourists go home and publicize to relatives and friends, it will be of great benefit."
"You have a good idea. I will suggest it to Mr. Keyston... By the way, let's talk about the film and television base you mentioned in detail."
Now Irwin is only concerned about how to make Shenjiao City an entertainment capital.
Duke also followed Erwin’s thoughts and briefly described the idea of the film and television base, imitating the typical buildings of major cities, attracting major film and television production teams to settle in, standardizing the extras industry, and sound equipment rental businesses...
"Phantom films have begun to explode, and the real entertainment era is coming. Your Excellency Erwin, whether Shenjiao City can become the entertainment capital depends on you."
"I am obliged!"
Erwin speaks forcefully, and his actions are not inferior. His children and grandchildren have already opened more than a dozen related film and television companies.
The photography technology also got the technical guidance of DreamWorks, and successfully completed a phantom film independently in July.
Similar film and television companies, similar phantom films.
With Shenjiao City as the center, following the trend of "Romeo and Juliet", it was quickly released to the public. One after another, good phantoms and bad phantoms, greatly enriched the people's spare time and made movie watching gradually become a habit.
As for the audience attracted by these phantoms, many people came to Shenjiao City spontaneously to chase stars, which also brought many benefits to Shenjiao City's economy and population.
certainly.
The biggest benefit beneficiary is Duke.
Surging spiritual feedback, as if he had divine assistance during his cultivation, the progress of the second ring of the spiritual core skyrocketed. Numerous difficulties about the spiritual mysteries are all solved in this spiritual feedback, and the cognition is continuously improved.
"Explode, Phantom!"
"Continue to erupt, more violent eruption!" Duke looked at the latest issue of "Spiritual Arcana Monthly", with ten lines at a glance.
But the papers in the journals, every bit of it is already clear.
Looking for tickets~
