Chapter 250 Breaking the sky and breaking the epoch
In the lounge on the fifty-seventh floor of the most knowledgeable tower, Duke sat cross-legged on a futon, with blond hair, pointed ears, and a pale complexion. He was undoubtedly in the form of an elf.
Intense spiritual particles poured into Duke's body like a whale, and then entered the spiritual sea in the void of the body.
Vision resonance brings great blessing to Linghai.
Once these spiritual particles enter, they are quickly pulled and filled up on the spectacle building on the second ring track - the little beast with eyes.
But more spiritual particles passed through the second orbit and the first orbit, and landed on the very tiny but infinitely huge spiritual core.
The inner layer of the spiritual core has been completed, and the outer layer has also covered most of it.
Xiaoyi's work schedule clearly shows that the current level 2 arcane scholar's practice progress has reached 64.3%.
Although the time budget is still unquantifiable, the speed of progress is amazing.
It has not been three years since he was promoted to the 2nd ring, but his cultivation progress has already exceeded half, and there is no doubt that he will break the record again.
I don't know how long it has passed.
Duke fell from the elf form, the chick gasped and got into the air, and he took a sip of water from his teacup.
"It's time to rest, tomorrow is the day to witness a miracle!"
The next day.
The staff waited outside Duke’s lounge early, and after Duke finished his breakfast, they led Duke to board the shuttle.
flew straight to the High Tower of Arcane.
This towering Tower of Offa, as usual, exudes a sacred and inviolable majesty, and the brilliance of the spiritual mystery shines on the entire Holy City of Offa.
In the distance of Whale Song Mirror Lake, a large whale jumped out of the water, making a sad whale song sound.
"Duke, you are here." The colorful jellyfish swam up to Duke immediately after he entered the tower, "I will lead you to the academic news hall."
"Thank you, shell wise."
"Serving you Arcane Masters is the meaning of my existence." The shell wise man circled around Duke, "I am also curious about what interesting discoveries you have brought. I like the phantom you invented very much. If possible, I really want you to help me make a documentary."
"Thank you for your love, but you are a documentary, and the years are in your memory." Duke replied.
"Having said that, the phantom is really interesting. Except for a backup of paper materials, the data in Offatari are all stored in the phantom card roll. When sorting out the vast amount of data, I went through the previous stories again. I think there are too many worthy of being a phantom."
"You can compile a list of stories and give them to me later. I have a film and television company in my hand, and I can shoot them one after another. In addition, you can also write your own stories. I will definitely find someone to shoot them."
"Really?"
"certainly."
"Thank you so much, Duke." The shell wise man took Duke to take the spiritual ladder, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the floor where the academic news hall is located.
The shell wise man stopped in the spiritual ladder, with a smile in his voice: "Go, Duke, write your own story, I believe it will be more exciting than the previous stories... and I am watching you from a distance, cheering for you."
Finished speaking.
The multicolored jellyfish body of the shell wise man slowly dissipated.
Duke tidied up the collar of his clothes. Today he was wearing a very formal arcane robe, and his youthful face looked mature against the background of the arcane robe.
There is no staff guidance.
In the Tower of Offa, the shell sage can freely choose whether to receive a certain arcanist, and when it receives it, no staff will come to receive it.
He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.
This watch is an ornament, and the time is always displayed on the Dou Qi holographic screen.
"Huh!"
Duke let out a foul breath, and communicated with Xiaoyi in his heart: "It's time for us to perform next, and prepare the speech."
"Master, don't worry, the next is your highlight moment." Xiaoyi boasted.
Waited.
Waiting until the agreed nine o'clock, Duke pushed open the door and entered the backstage of the academic news hall, then lifted the curtain and walked into the news platform of the academic news hall.
欻欻!
Two bright lights hit Duke at the same time, making him shine like a flash.
Click click click click...
The flashlights of the reporters in the audience were non-stop, and the camera lens was always on Duke. Such a scene is already not much different from the star press conference on earth.
"Hi everyone, I'm Duke."
Waved to the audience, Duke stood in front of the news station microphone.
Soon, there was a burst of untidy and enthusiastic applause from the audience. Besides the reporters, there were also many arcane mages wearing arcane robes.
There are some dukes who know him, such as Chairman Thursas of the Supreme Council, Chief Director of the Knowledgeable High Tower Madron Rhodiola, Chief Director of Observing the High Tower Lambert Raven, Vice President of Godiva Storm Sword of the Knights Monastery...
"I am very glad that after three years away from the Holy City of Offa, I am back here with my latest academic achievements."
"Three years ago, I won the title of Erudite Sage and became the youngest sage of Erudition. In the past three years, I have also achieved three consecutive achievements of the Light of Erudite Tower. But this time, in addition to bringing a new technology of Erudition, what I really want to bring is a new exploration in the field of card making."
Everyone in the audience seemed to be whispering.
In fact, everyone believed that the academic achievements Duke brought this time would be inventions in the field of natural history.
I didn't expect that it was not the case.
As if he understood what everyone in the audience was thinking, Duke said with a smile: "Actually, my original identity was a card maker, because before I was promoted to an arcanist, I was a card repairing apprentice in a card repairing shop. My current achievements are inseparable from the spirit card."
He paused.
Pointing to the backstage door again, he said: "This time, my mentor, Penrose, also came to the scene. I invited him to come, hoping that he can witness my achievements in the field of card making. Just as I promised myself at the beginning, I will become an excellent card maker!"
Finished speaking.
Facing the backstage door, he said, "Mr. Penrose, I'll be waiting for you."
The door opened, and Penrose, who was a little bald, carried two large boxes nervously and walked onto the news stand.
Duke invited him to speak a few words, Penrose immediately waved his hand quickly, and then stepped aside.
Everyone in the audience didn't know what Duke was playing, so they all looked at Duke seriously and the big box Penrose brought.
Duke opened the big box and skillfully took out a 1-ring slide card.
Facing the audience, Penrose behind him continued to tinker with the big box, took out a projector, and placed it on the news stand.
"This is the most basic slide card, very cheap."
Duke’s voice is not in a hurry, and only academic achievements are unattractive. Only stories can move people's hearts. He must connect technology with himself in order to maximize spiritual feedback.
"It is this slide card that brings me everything today. Because of it, I invented strong light technology; because of it, I invented film and television technology; also because of it, I invented optical storage technology. Today, it has become the best-selling spirit card."
"but."
Duke changed the subject and returned to the academic topic: "One day my assistant told me that the price of the slide card has increased. The reason is very simple. The slide show is very popular, and the supply of the slide card is in short supply. Therefore, the slide card and the illusion card, which are one of the main materials, are in short supply."
"This makes me think hard, how can we mass-produce spirit cards like slide cards and illusion cards?"
Turned.
He nodded to Penrose who was waiting on the side, and Penrose immediately turned on the projector, the screen lit up, and a large slide card appeared on the screen.
Duke shook the slide card in his hand, pointed to the slide card on the big screen behind him, and said loudly: "From the very beginning, when my mentor Penrose taught me how to make cards, he told me that the distribution of spirituality on the card materials is not uniform, and it is impossible to make cards on a large scale."
"Some large card-making companies hire card makers and use psychic resonance memory technology to make multiple batches of spiritual cards at one time. Even arcane cards are drawn one by one, and even the psychic resonance technology cannot duplicate cards."
"So, I was thinking, can the Spirit Card really not be copied?"
Accompanied by Duke's explanation, still pictures began to be played on the big screen, which was the scene of Duke in the laboratory, trying to make cards again and again.
There was some commotion in the audience, and many arcane masters seemed to realize something.
Penrose, who stood behind Duke on the stage, also froze for a moment, and then looked at Duke's back in disbelief.
Duke was still explaining on his own, facing everyone in the audience, and said loudly: "It turns out that this is not the case!"
Turning his head slightly, he looked at Penrose.
Penrose was still in shock and didn't come back to his senses. He didn't remember what he was going to do until Duke blinked at him several times.
The two communicated in advance last night.
Penrose is responsible for cooperation.
At this time, he quickly pressed the button of the projector to switch to the next screen—this is the PPT designed by Duke. Without the PPT, he always felt that it was not convincing enough, and he could not understand the picture.
On the big screen, an enlarged version of the spell model of the slide card appeared.
Duke turned around and smiled at everyone in the audience, interpreting again: "There is an affinity between the spell model and the card material, which is determined by the attribute of psionic energy. It's just that we overlooked one point. The complete spell model is dead, and only the incomplete spell model can always exude affinity."
He pointed with his finger, and the screen on the big screen switched again, switching to a certain angle of the spell model, and there was a gap in this angle.
"After my experiments, I found that if I keep a small opening in this position and stabilize it with a spiritual energy field, this incomplete ring can keep the energy line active, and then when it is compressed into the card material, it will automatically adjust the trajectory."
"Finally, fill this gap with a little spiritual power, a brand new slide card, and that's it!"
The big screen behind it returned to the picture on the slide card.
Duke's face was filled with a bright smile: "The imprinted ring, I call this spirit card copying technology the imprinted ring. The ring is kept activated through the spiritual field, and the ring is imprinted on the card material, allowing it to adjust its angle and trajectory. This is the imprinted ring!"
Boom!
There was a sudden burst of exclamation from the audience.
There was even an arcanist who exclaimed on the spot: "This...how is this possible!"
"Nothing is impossible!" Duke raised his volume and suppressed the audience's exclamation. "The branding ring was born for duplicating rings. Not only can the ring be branded on card materials, it can also be branded on array boards, contracts, puppet cores, etc.!"
Everyone in the audience could barely sit still, the reporters frantically recorded, and the photographers took close-ups of Duke's expression.
If it wasn't for the academic news hall, the arcane mages would rush to the news station immediately and ask him about the details of the branded ring.
Wait for the commotion to subside a little.
He smiled again and said: "I know many people who may not be able to accept it for a while, or may still have doubts about the Ring of Branding."
He beckoned to Penrose.
Penrose suppressed his excitement to witness a great technology, and took out a special square instrument from the big box.
Duke took the instrument and put it on the table: "This is the Lingka branding instrument I developed by the way. I think this should be regarded as another practical technological achievement of Natural History. I have not forgotten that I am a learned sage."
told a joke that wasn't funny.
Everyone in the audience was attracted by the branded ring, no one cheered, not even a single laugh.
"Xiao Yi, next time you need to pay attention to the audience's emotional feedback. This node is obviously not suitable for joking." Duke silently complained in his heart.
Xiao Yi also followed the good example: "Good master, Xiao Yi will learn from this lesson and strive to make the master's next speech more perfect."
The Spirit Card Branding Apparatus is turned on.
Duke took out a 1-ring slide card and a blank spirit card, and stuffed the two spirit cards into the instrument.
While demonstrating, he explained: "Everyone, pay attention, I just need to press the switch, and this blank spirit card will be automatically copied into a slide card."
The instrument makes a slight creaking sound.
Soon, the blank spirit card was spit out again, but it had already become a 1-ring slide card.
The arcane instructors and great arcane mages present have locked their perceptions on the spirit card imprinter for a long time. For blank spirit cards copied into slide cards, they will use their perceptions to monitor the whole process, and there is no possibility of secretly changing them.
That is to say.
They actually witnessed, Duke copied a slide card.
"Not only civilian cards such as slide cards can be copied, but arcane cards can also be copied by inserting a psionic box."
Duke continued to operate the instrument, and quickly copied a fantasy card.
The theory has been stated, and the results have been demonstrated. There is no doubt that the branded ring is real, and the spirit card can really be copied.
"It's too sudden." Chairman Thursas stroked his beard, "If spirit cards can be copied at will, and ordinary people can equip arcane cards, doesn't it mean that human strength will be qualitatively improved?"
"It's just 1 ring spirit card." An arcane teacher next to him frowned.
Thirsas retorted: "But if the branding ring is established, the duplication of the 2-ring spirit card and the 3-ring spirit card will be realized sooner or later! Even the special combination of the 4-ring spirit card may be able to copy it through the branding ring!"
Another arcane teacher shook his head and said in shock: "If this is the case, then the future... I can't even imagine it!"
Human beings are trapped in cities and market towns because of the scarcity of high-end combat power, and cannot reclaim large areas of forest habitat.
If everyone can equip an arcane card, the forest has nothing to fear.
"alright!"
Duke on the stage has already begun his final curtain call: "The branding ring and this spirit card branding instrument are the academic achievements I announced this time. Thank you for participating in my academic news conference. On the road of exploring spiritual mysteries, let's encourage each other!"
Bow and bow.
Duke and Penrose started to pack the big boxes, but they left the Spirit Card Imprinter, a bunch of Spirit Cards, and blank Spirit Cards on the stage.
Immediately returned to the background.
As for the people in the hall, some rushed to the backstage impatiently, and some rushed to the news stand, preparing to experience the Spirit Card Branding Instrument by themselves.
"Duke!" Thursas motioned for several reporters to stand back, and he came to the backstage together with several arcane instructors.
"Lord Thursas, my lords." Duke greeted.
"I think back to the time when the sage Ijik invented the spirit card, and then the spirit card quickly became popular and became the cornerstone of the development of the Seven Towers Federation." An arcane instructor praised, "Now that you invent the branded ring, the spirit card will become more popular. Your credit is only in the sub-sage of the sage Ijik."
"My lord, your reputation is too high. How can I be compared with the sages of Ijik, and I am just a follower." Duke responded humbly.
Link card is the real epoch-making invention.
Directly on the avenue of spiritual mysteries, a new field was opened, so the sage Ijik, also because of this invention, was selected into the Hall of Valor and will always be worthy of it.
"Not only spirit cards, but also contracts, puppet cores, formation disks and other fields that need to draw engraved rings, the branded ring has a place." Lambert Raven expressed indifferently, but he spoke highly of the branded ring. "This is the only technology that will add chief sages to Offa Tower next year. I will definitely recommend you."
Duke's eyes suddenly brightened.
Chief sage of Offata, this is a more noble status than the title of sage. There are quite a few sages in the Seven Towers Federation, but there are not many who can become the chief sage of Offata.
Because whether you can be promoted to the chief sage of Offa Tower, in addition to major academic achievements, you must also prove that you have enough ability to lead the Seven Towers Federation to go higher and further on the path of spiritual exploration.
"I am extremely honored to be affirmed by you, Lord Lambert, but I am afraid that I am too young to be the chief sage."
Duke resigned again.
In front of a group of arcane instructors who are all giants in terms of academics, status, and practice, there is definitely no harm in being humble.
Thersas stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Lambert, then Duke will have two votes from you and me."
There are currently twenty-seven chief sages in the Tower of Offa, and all of them are great figures at the level of an arcane teacher, and even a great arcane mage is rare.
If you really choose Duke.
I am afraid that Duke will be the only person in the history of the Seven Towers Federation who was selected as the chief scholar of the Offa Tower as an ordinary arcanist.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't get selected. Duke can get two of the 27 recommendation votes, which is already a huge recognition for him.
Several arcane instructors just came over to take a look at Duke, and left after chatting for a few words.
Duke was left to accept the reporter's interview, and the interview lasted until lunch time before the reporters reluctantly let go of asking Duke.
Wiping the sweat off his brow, Duke felt hollowed out again.
"Xiao Yi, counting the stories I heard, there is really nothing left. I am afraid I will have nothing to say when I am interviewed by reporters in the future."
"Master, you are still writing a new story."
"I can't write fast, I really can't write fast. The speed of writing stories must not keep up with the speed of reporters asking questions, especially my scientific research results one after another... If I invent any results in the future, I am afraid that there will be no good stories to tell."
Duke was a little disappointed.
However, his fighting spirit soon became high: "Edison invented the light bulb after 10,000 failures; Franklin flew a kite in the rain and caught lightning; Newton was hit on the head by an apple and discovered gravity; Nobel invented dynamite, but killed his brother; Kekule dreamed about ouroboros, so he discovered the benzene ring..."
He followed Penrose and walked towards the restaurant in Offata.
While communicating with Xiaoyi in my heart: "You can adapt the stories of these scientists for me to see if they can be integrated into my experience and become my deeds."
"As you wish, master." Xiaoyi replied cheerfully.
Find a box in the restaurant.
Duke first said to Penrose: "You worked hard today."
"No, no, no, I didn't have any hard work." Penrose still hadn't recovered from the previous shock, "Being able to witness the branded ring up close, to be honest, this should be the most proud thing in my life, even more exciting than me getting the title of card making scholar."
He gave Duke a complicated look, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect you to create such a great achievement in such a short period of time."
"It's not great, it just likes to think a lot and thinks of some good ideas."
"From a technical point of view, the Ring of Branding may not be that deep, but just like the birth of the first spirit card, it is nothing more than a combination of the ring and the card. To judge whether a technology is great, it is not its depth, but its value."
Penrose said solemnly: "In my opinion, the value of the branded ring is destined to become a bright pearl on the path of spiritual mystery."
After a pause, he added: "Master Lambert and Sir Thursas both said that they would recommend you to be added as the chief sage of Offa Tower. I also think that with your branded ring, you have enough qualifications to join the highest hall of Offa Tower."
Duke laughed when he heard this.
Immediately said straightly: "I won't pay attention to whether the branded ring can push me to the position of the chief sage of Offata, these are all foreign things."
glanced at the scenery outside the window.
Duke continued: "In the next time, I will continue to delve into the spiritual mysteries. Compared with the fame and fortune like floating clouds, the spiritual mysteries are the most fascinating treasure. Do you know, Master Penrose, that I have longed to stand on the highest peak of this world since I was still lying in the mud."
smiled slightly.
Duke's tone became gentle, but the content was so firm: "Only in this way can I know the whole picture of this world, and I will not be in this world in vain."
Silently add a sentence in my heart - it is not a waste of time.
Pen Rose sighed suddenly: "This may be the gap between a genius and an ordinary person. The pattern and vision are not on the same level."
I also silently added a sentence in my heart-I have been bragging about this kind of words in front of reporters all morning, are you tired?
afternoon.
The two returned to the Tower of Knowledge and received a grand welcome.
The chief director, Ma Delong Rhodiola, who has always been known for his indifference, also rarely spoke softly: "We will hold a banquet in the Erudite Tower in the evening. Congratulations on your new exploration achievements in the field of spiritual mysteries. Take a good rest in the afternoon."
"Okay." Duke readily agreed.
But I didn't get a rest in the afternoon.
He was dragged to a simple academic salon by Lambert, the director of the Tower of Learning. The participants are basically arcane masters with the title of scholar or even the title of sage in the field of natural history, such as Linton Cicada who came to Shenjiao City before.
Around the ring of imprints, they chatted all afternoon about academics, which made Duke drowsy.
The details of academic research and the like, he will directly hand over to Xiaoyi to operate, so he is not very interested in it.
But everyone didn't pester him too much.
After all, the branded ring is plain, and there is no incomprehensible technology. Everyone revolved around the branded ring to discuss many future developments.
Every time I discover a possibility of the branded ring, I have to praise Duke: "What a great academic achievement!"
at the same time.
In Offa Tower, the editorial department of "Seven Towers Daily", reporters and editors are rushing to revise and review manuscripts, and there are even great arcane masters providing consultants.
finally.
The editors agreed that tomorrow's title should be modified by adding words such as "rock-breaking" and "epoch-making".
"There is no doubt that this technology deserves such praise. The sage Duke is about to change the world." The consultant of the Da'ao mage affirmed, "In the imaginable future, the branded ring will become the basic technology in the fields of spirit cards, puppets, contracts, and formations."
His tone gradually became high-pitched: "This is a new monument unearthed by human beings on the road of exploring spiritual mysteries!"
