Chapter 251 Card Making Sage
On February 16, the weather in Shenjiao City was still not good. In the gloomy sky, there were sporadic snowflakes falling slowly.
There is much more snow this year than in previous years.
Kilia Nutao woke up from sleep, lifted the quilt, and sat up. The hem of the loose pajamas was seated by the round buttocks, causing the chest to be tightened, protruding two round hemispheres, and a deep groove like an abyss.
"Ah..." Stretching her arms, Kiria stretched her waist.
The beautiful curves that cannot be covered by pajamas are perfectly displayed, but unfortunately only the radiance of the rising sun secretly can appreciate all this.
She pulled the rope bell by the bed.
The servants waiting outside the door, led by a nanny, filed into the room and brought various toiletries.
Kiriya first took a mouthful of water and rinsed her mouth.
Then he didn't rush to wash his face and brush his teeth, but asked with a little expectation: "Aunt Jiss, where is the "Seven Towers Daily" this morning, have you brought it?"
Assistant Jisi was in the line of service staff, with an excited expression on her face: "Bring it, miss, bring it!"
She knew what her young lady was concerned about, and immediately sent a newspaper that was just released this morning to Kiria.
Almost at first glance, Kylia saw the photo that took up half the page in the newspaper.
It was an artistically processed picture, with a smiling bust of Duke, as if looking at every reader.
Behind him, there is a huge 1-ring slide card as the background, and the spell model inside the slide card is extracted, like a levitation, showing the details of every energy line, surrounding Duke.
"The Ring of Branding!"
This is the only news headline on the front page of Seven Towers Daily.
And under the main title, there is a subtitle in a slightly smaller font: "Shocking, Duke Sage has brought epoch-making technology to the world!"
"Wow!" Kylia exclaimed.
Assistant Jisi had read the content of the report in advance, and couldn't help admiring: "Miss, Mr. Duke once again shocked the entire Seven Towers Federation!"
"He...does what he says!" Kylia responded with joy.
Then read the newspaper reports seriously.
The report first described in detail the situation of Duke announcing the Branded Ring in Offata, then the content of the interview with Duke, and finally looked forward to the Branded Ring technology.
And at the end, the evaluations of several arcane instructors are attached.
"The Ring of Branding is a major technological breakthrough in the field of card making. It can be called an innovation, but it is far more than the field of card making. The entire spiritual arcana will be affected by it and undergo tremendous changes." Said the Supreme Committee of the Tower of Erudition, 8th Ring Huiyue Arcane Mentor, and chairman of the committee, Thursas.
The chief director of Faling Supreme Tower, 7th Ring Morning Star Arcane Instructor, Ruoge · Ring of Contract commented: "The application of the branded ring in the field of contract still needs to be studied, but for now, this will be a great invention... This technology is qualified to be called the branded ring."
Observing the chief director of the Supreme Tower, the 8-ring Huiyue arcane instructor, Lambert Raven expressed his admiration: "There is no doubt that the branded ring is a bright pearl on the path of human beings exploring spiritual arcana. Its inventor, Duke, is worthy of any praise."
Without exception.
The instructors of the arcane arts all spoke highly of the branded ring.
After reading the newspaper, Kiria's heart was sweeter than honey. Although all of this was Duke's achievement, it was even more exciting than her doing it all by herself.
After washing.
She was not in a hurry to go to work at the Penrose Master Tower. Speaking of which, she had been working at the Penrose Master Tower for five years since she was promoted to an Arcane Master at the age of eighteen, counting the two years of further study.
Of course, I also work part-time at the Suktara Mage Tower, and will work part-time at the Duke Sage Mage Tower in the future.
Compared with most arcanists, Kylia is not bad at all in terms of diligence.
So it’s okay to be lazy for a day now and then.
She took the "Seven Towers Daily" and went directly to the Keyston Mage Tower, and successfully took the spiritual ladder to the Zenith Garden.
"Grandpa!"
"Oh, here comes the little dragon." Kiston Nutao looked at his descendants for several generations with a pleasing expression. He didn't like to call her by her name, and always liked to call her little dragon.
The bloodline of the Raging Wave family is extracted from the bloodline of the 9th ring sub-dragon, the Raging Wave Flood Dragon. Only after being promoted to an arcanist, the bloodline will be activated, thus growing a head of golden hair.
In his eyes, Kylia has an excellent talent as an arcane mage, and can go further on the path of spiritual arcana.
can also shoulder the next hundred years of the Raging Wave family.
So it is indeed the little dragon of the family, waiting to grow into a real dragon and become the pillar of the Nutao family.
"Grandfather, have you read today's "Seven Towers Daily"?" Kylia showed off, and handed over the newspaper in her hand, "There is news about Duke. This time, Duke seems to have announced a remarkable achievement in the Holy City of Alfa."
"Really, let grandpa take a good look at it." Kiston had actually read the newspaper a long time ago, but seeing Kylia's expression on offering treasures, he chose to cooperate with acting.
Soon he exclaimed: "Tsk tsk, the younger generation is awesome, the ring of branding!"
Then he muttered again: "If the Ring of Branding is promoted, the spirit card can be copied at will, and your mentor, that kid Penrose, is likely to lose his job! Even our little Jiaolong, your employment prospects are not good!"
"How come, someone has to inherit the spirit card, grandpa, you don't need to worry about this." Kylia has her own judgment.
Kiston was just teasing her, and pointed to the end of the newspaper and said: "This Russian Covenant Ring said very well. The new technology invented by Duke deserves the name of Branding Ring. Maybe this will be his surname in the future!"
"You mean, Duke will be knighted? Duke, the Ring of Branding?" Kylia opened her eyes wide.
According to the remaining aristocratic system, but nobility should have a noble surname.
And noble surnames cannot be chosen randomly.
Either in the name of blood, or in the name of achievement.
For example, Bernoulli, the black jade baron who was just canonized, is named after his blood; while Loren Sangovi, the leader of the Wind Breath field, is named after Sangovi medicine.
Sankawi potion is undoubtedly an important invention.
"The ancestor of the Ologo Ring of Contract was the sage Ophega who discovered the power of the contract. Although Ophega was not knighted, after he was selected into the Hall of Valor, he was knighted by his descendants, so he chose the Ring of Contract as the family name."
Kiston said with emotion: "I think Duke doesn't seem to be enthusiastic about the aristocratic system. I'm afraid he may not choose to be knighted, but if his descendants want to be knighted, the Ring of Branding will be a very noble noble surname."
said.
Kiston took a look at his heavy...granddaughter, and inexplicably compared the surname "Raging Wave" with the surname "Ring of Branding" in his heart.
Suddenly realized that the style of Nu Tao's surname was far worse than that of Branded Ring's.
After all, the "ring" is included in the surname of the branded ring. In the field of spiritual arcana, the ring is the basis of all rules and power.
The ring of projection, the ring of distortion, the ring of contract... and now the ring of branding.
Each technology represents a monument on the path of human beings exploring spiritual mysteries, which shines so brightly that it can rival the stars.
"Kilia." Kiston rarely called out... granddaughter's name.
"Grandpa, tell me."
"You have to work hard. Duke is a spiritual guide. If the Nutao family doesn't cherish the gift he gave us to Heijiaohe Land, I'm afraid it will be too late in the future."
Kiliya looked at Grandpa Grandpa, lowered her head shyly: "What am I going to work on, Grandpa Grandpa?"
"Work hard to give birth to a little dragon for the family, no, it's a real giant dragon." Kiston drew his tone very long, "The legendary sacred ancient dragon has committed suicide in the wild world, but its blood will eventually be revived."
According to legend, in the long history of the Seven Towers Federation, there was once an astrologer who was enlightened by the sacred ancient dragon.
The dragon will eventually recover.
Hence the legend that the phantom beasts evolve upwards and can evolve into dragon beasts.
However, some arcane masters believe that this astrologer is making up random things, and even verified the legend of the dragon, which is older than the Seven Towers Federation. Long before humans began to count the ages, there were already legends about the dragon and its knights.
In short.
No one knows where the legend of the dragon came from.
"I will do my best." Kiriya's face was already blushing.
But she did not evade this topic. The education she received since she was a child made her understand at a young age how to shoulder the burden of the family's rise and fall.
certainly.
This is also related to this "heavy burden", she does not reject it.
After all, Duke is too dazzling, so dazzling that even a girl like her would feel ashamed in comparison.
"I'm afraid no woman will escape such a burden." After taking the spiritual ladder downstairs, Kylia looked at the scenery outside the viewing ladder and thought silently, "I don't know what kind of welcome Duke will receive this time in the Holy City of Alfa."
…
Duke is indeed popular.
The Tower of the Learned held a banquet specially for him.
But the banquet was not over yet, and he received an invitation from the 8th Ring Huiyue Arcane Instructor and Chairman Thursas to attend the evening dance.
As the instructor of the 8-ring Huiyue Arcana, the highest level of the Seven Towers Federation.
Cersas has a Crystal Palace that goes deep into the bottom of Whale Song Mirror Lake, and there are many crystal palaces like this in Whale Song Mirror Lake.
These crystal palaces seem to be the reflection of the holy city of Austrian law.
The holy city of Austrian law is above the water surface, and the Crystal Palace is below the water surface, sharing this top spiritual spring together.
If we say that a spiritual spring like Shenjiao City is a large spiritual spring.
The central city of the domain like Runwu City has a larger spiritual spring underneath, which can already be named the river of spirituality.
Then the Whale Song Mirror Lake below the holy city of Austria is a great spiritual river.
The surging spirituality is like a river, constantly surging outward. Duke is in the Crystal Palace, through the huge glass viewing platform, you can see the fountain composed of spirituality at the bottom of the lake, which continuously spews spirituality upwards, and is captured by the Crystal Palace.
It can be said.
The entire spiritual river, half of the spirituality, is intercepted by the crystal palace of the arcane instructors, and the remaining half can be used by the arcane holy city and the surrounding eighteen lakeside cities.
"It's a pity that I don't have a descendant who can match your age and talent, otherwise I must marry her to you." Celsas was very regretful.
His bloodline is not strong, and his direct descendants are relatively rare.
Among the girls who are about the same age as Duke, none of them can be promoted to the Arcane Master, obviously not enough to be a good marriage partner.
"I'm in my hometown and already have a girlfriend." Duke replied with a smile.
"Haha, don't have too many scruples, how can an arcane mage be bound by ordinary rules." Thursas said in a tone of someone who has experienced it, "In the holy city of arcane, at the ball tonight, the most important thing is to have fun, and you have the qualifications."
After finishing speaking, Thursas narrowed his eyes.
He suddenly discovered that even though he did not have a good female offspring that could match Duke, it seemed that other people did not have good female offspring that could match Duke.
Moreover, with Duke's current achievements, even if he achieves nothing in the future, he is destined to be among the chief sages of Offata.
Regardless of strong light technology, film and television technology, optical storage technology, or today's imprinted ring, they all have a great impetus to social development, and can benefit the general public, as if they were designed for harvesting spiritual feedback.
With such strong spiritual feedback and help, Duke's cultivation realm will not be bad, and he can break through the fog of spiritual arcana while lying down, and be promoted to a great arcane mage.
Thirsas also heard that the Knights Abbey paid close attention to Duke, and believed that Duke was very likely to become the first 4-ring dragon knight in human history.
Such a remarkable achievement.
Still acquired at such a young age.
"No matter how good a daughter is in each family, how can it be 1% of Duke. In the more than 3,000-year history of the Seven Towers Federation, there is no such genius as Duke." Watching Duke being invited to dance by a young and beautiful female arcanist, Celsus shook his head with emotion.
"but."
He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, squinted his eyes and continued to think: "No matter how unmatched, Duke will always have a family and start a career. I don't know whose daughter he will choose in the end... Tsk tsk, if it is an old man, so young and so dazzling, this old man will definitely take it all!"
As for what Duke said, he had a girlfriend in his hometown, Thursas didn't care at all.
The little nobles in a small place, I am afraid that the arcane teacher has never been born, so how can they understand that the power center of the Seven Towers Federation is not an ordinary arcanist, but a family of arcane teachers known as the "stars", and the stars only have stars in their eyes.
It is a life transformation for an ordinary arcane mage to be promoted to a great arcane mage, and it is another life transformation for a great arcane mage to be promoted to an arcane master.
It can be said.
A teacher of the arcane arts and an ordinary person are already two kinds of creatures. The descendants of a teacher of the arcane arts are naturally different from ordinary people.
On the dance floor, Duke wanted to end it with just a few twists. He is not keen on dancing, especially this kind of ballroom dancing.
If it's hip-hop or break dancing, you can still be cool for a while.
"Lord Duke, why are you a little distracted?" The opposite dancer was a beautiful female arcanist.
The name sounds nice, it's called Agnes Ice Crown.
"I was thinking about a question." Duke responded.
Anis quietly approached Duke's ear, and said softly, "Can you still think about spiritual mysteries when you dance with me in your arms?"
The tone is a little provocative.
Duke raised his eyebrows and replied softly: "Why do you think I must be thinking about spiritual mysteries? Why can't I be thinking about you? Spiritual mysteries are certainly fascinating treasures, so why aren't you worth exploring?"
"Giggling..." Agnes chuckled, "You are as funny as described in the newspapers, and you are completely different from those stereotyped arcanists."
"Yeah."
"Can I know, what secrets were you thinking about me just now?" Agnes said, and blew a mouthful of hot air into Duke's ear.
Duke had no unusual reaction to this.
He was already immune to this level of temptation on Earth.
He just responded lightly: "I was wondering how many years the surname Ice Crown has been passed down. In the history of the Storm Empire, is there any hero with this surname."
There are too many arcane masters in the holy city of arcane magic and the surrounding cities of eighteen lakes, and the information is not complete. Duke can't know all of them.
But he has already glanced at the noble surnames from Offata's information.
The aristocratic surname Ice Crown, like the Godiva Storm Sword he had seen before, was a noble surname introduced from the Stormwind Empire.
When I participated in the academic salon before, I also learned that these nobles are called "old knights".
Still cherish the memory of a group of ancient nobles in the age of knights, and some old knights can even really date back to the era of the Stormwind Empire. In fact, there are not many of these nobles left, and they have already embarked on the path of arcane masters, but they still retain the way of knight practice.
"Then you may have guessed wrong. The Ice Crown is not the name of the Stormwind Empire." Agnes said with a smile, "My ancestors came from the Ice and Snow Kingdom, a branch of the royal family. To commemorate my ancestors, I used 'Ice Crown' as my surname."
"I see." Duke expressed his understanding.
The Ice and Snow Kingdom is in the north of the Seven Towers Federation.
Speaking of it, it has a lot to do with the Seven Towers Federation. The ancestors of the royal family over there once fought against the Stormwind Empire with the founder of the Seven Towers Federation, the sage Abbots. It's just that one established the Seven Towers Federation, and the other went deep into the northern border and established the Ice and Snow Kingdom.
"If you want to know more details, Lord Duke, you are welcome to come to me at any time." Agnes issued an invitation.
Winning eyes like silk, soft voice: "Whether it is history or spiritual mystery, I welcome you."
Duke smiled slightly.
Then asked: "Are you working in the Knights' Monastery? I can feel the waves of the knight's blood in you."
"Yes, the Knights' Monastery, but I don't live there. I live in Whale Song Manor, villa No. 174." Agnes quickly told Duke her address, "During this period of time, the gate of my villa is always open for you."
"No need for this, I just want to ask, you know His Excellency Godiva Storm Sword, I have something to ask him."
"Eh..." Agnes was a little bit confused.
Just now, he was flirting well, but suddenly Duke diverted to another topic.
"Don't you know?" Duke asked again.
Yanice quickly adjusted her emotions and put on her smile again: "I know, of course I do. Lord Godiva is our vice-principal. I have followed Lord Godiva since I was a child and practiced the way of chivalry."
"Okay, please help me make an appointment with him. I probably... well, I will calculate the schedule... Three days later, I will go to Lord Godiva's mage tower and pay a visit to him."
"Okay, I would like to ask another question, is there any important matter for you to find Lord Godiva?"
Duke said casually: "It's about fighting qi and martial arts."
Yanice immediately understood that Duke created "Duke Flying Feather", a highly difficult martial art, which has been promoted in knight monasteries throughout the Federation.
It's just that there are very few knights who have successfully cultivated fighting spirit wings.
"You're really knowledgeable..." Agnes wanted to continue dancing with Duke, but the song had already ended.
Before Agnes made a request to continue dancing, another beautiful female arcanist invited Duke to dance with him.
And behind, there are several beautiful female arcanists, waiting in line to invite Duke.
Duke danced three dances politely, then refused to enter the dance floor again, and even turned down all the invitations from female arcanists to his nightlife.
It's not that he guards himself like a jade.
It's these female Arcane Masters who don't know their ages, at least they can't tell from their appearance. If you wake up the next day and find that the other party may be fifty or even eighty years old, and even the grandson is older than yourself, it will be embarrassing.
So after the ball, even though he stayed in the Celsus Crystal Palace, he still slept with his big knight in his arms.
Sleep until the next morning.
Duke asked a steward of the Crystal Palace while having breakfast: "Where is Lord Thursas?"
"The master is going to the United Tower to attend the meeting of the stars." The butler replied, "The master told me before leaving that you will stay here during your stay in the Holy City of Alfa, Lord Duke. Visit friends or hold a banquet, please order."
Thirsas is not only the chairman of the Supreme Audit Committee of the Tower of Knowledge, but also a member of the Stars Conference.
The Stars Meeting is the executive meeting of the United Towers.
All the 7-ring Morningstar Arcane Instructors, the 8-ring Huiyue Arcane Instructors, and even the 9-ring Sun Sun Arcane Instructors who have not yet been born are members of the Stars Conference and are responsible for managing the daily decisions of the entire Seven Towers Federation.
No matter where the arcane instructors are.
With the help of the power of the ring of projection, descend to the avatar and participate in the meeting of stars.
In this era when instant communication technology has not yet appeared, the instructors of the Austrian Law can firmly control such a huge federation, relying on the ring of projection and the projection technology of the Austrian Law to achieve close communication and close contact with each other.
After breakfast, Duke arranged for Vivienne to take people to carry all his luggage from the Erudite Tower to the Crystal Palace.
Although his branding ring technology is enough to shock the whole world.
But the light of the Three-Lian Erudite Tower has undoubtedly imprinted him with a deep imprint of natural history, and Celsus also regards him as one of his own.
"Mr. Penrose, you can act on your own in the next few days. I have to go to the Knights' Monastery next to deal with fighting qi and martial arts."
Duke said goodbye to Penrose.
Then he asked the steward of the Crystal Palace for a shuttle car, and drove to the Knights' Monastery.
Along the way, there are many towers, and suddenly I saw the tower body of the Austrian Supreme Tower. I don’t know when a huge phantom screen has been arranged.
And at the moment, on the big screen, the image of Duke is playing.
There is also a huge three-dimensional tower text: "Welcome to the new era, Duke, with the ring of branding, reigns over the Holy City of Arcana."
"What's the situation?" Duke couldn't help asking.
The little assistant couldn't answer, but the driver of the Crystal Palace answered: "Since Lord Duke, you invented the phantom, Offata built this big screen to broadcast some hot news, and "Romeo and Juliet" was played before!"
Duke nodded: "Tsk tsk, I came here in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't find this big screen."
He found that he was really photogenic. On the big screen, after being so enlarged, he was still so handsome.
There is no trace of flaws in the facial features and figure.
Flying through the streets, Duke kept his gaze fixed on the big screen of Offata, intoxicated by his beauty.
Suddenly.
The image on the big screen changed into a photo of a meeting.
Around the big round table, dozens of arcane mages were sitting. Most of the arcanist masters had gray hair, but their faces had not aged.
On Duke's vindictive holographic screen, Xiaoyi has already compared the faces, and quickly gave the identities of these arcanists.
There is no doubt that they are all arcane instructors.
This is a photo of the meeting of the stars.
Immediately after, another line of three-dimensional Tawen appeared on the big screen: "After discussion and approval at the executive meeting of the Union Tower, in view of the great value of the branded ring, Duke is officially conferred the card-making sage. Congratulations to the sage Duke."
The ring of branding is the basic technology of spiritual arcana, and it is not exclusive to the field of card making.
But without a doubt.
Duke invented the Ring of Branding only after breaking through the field of card making, and the most direct application of the Ring of Branding is also in the field of card making.
Therefore.
It is not surprising that he was awarded the title of card making sage.
"Sir!" The two little assistants, Mu Lali and Mu Lashan, screamed, "You have been awarded the title of card-making sage again!"
Duke looked at the big screen, his complacent expression flashed, and then he returned to Gujing's indifferent expression.
Said calmly: "Don't bark, calm down."
Looking for tickets~
