Chapter 267 Xueshan is also my palace
Hearing what Advisor Leo said, Duke smiled slightly, but was unwilling to answer.
He could feel that Consultant Leo was targeting him, but he could understand it. After all, in my previous life, when I saw rich and powerful people enjoying the attention of the audience, I would also feel jealous, and I wished that the dragon king would return to the throne and slap his face on the spot.
See Duke and don’t answer.
As soon as Advisor Leo's eyes lit up, he knew he was right, so he added with a smile: "However, it is understandable, Sage Duke, you are only 22 years old. Bring it up."
"Yes." Duke nodded and smiled.
Another great arcane mage next to him asked, "I don't know how far Sage Duke has reached in the cultivation of Qihai and Xuehai? I am also a dual cultivator of Linghai and Qihai. I contracted an elf by luck, and Qihai also stepped into 2 Ring Elf Envoy level."
"Consultant Luo Ze, have you also contracted the elves? We can discuss the growth of elves with each other."
Duke squinted his eyes and smiled. He wanted to keep a low profile but the other party would not allow him, so he simply confessed: "Because of some coincidence, I contracted two elves, one small elf, and one big elf. make."
As he spoke, he lightly touched his stomach and called out the rubber spirit—the chick’s mouth is too stinky, and he doesn’t care about the occasion, Duke doesn’t like to show it to people.
The big brown butterfly spirit condensed and immediately became the focus of the audience.
Advisor Luo Ze opened his mouth, greedily staring at every detail of Oak Spirit's body. He has ideas about his own elf, and hopes to be promoted to a great elf.
Now, actually see a big elf.
"Ai Ling sends hello to all the adults." It was the first time seeing a human being who was the same as Duke, and Oak Ling was somewhat embarrassed.
Princess Tiffany has seen a big elf before, but at this moment, her eyes are full of love: "Wow, what a beautiful big butterfly, hello, your name is Oak Spirit, what does Oak mean, what a nice name .”
"Thank you." Oak Spirit said restrainedly.
"Go play with Tiffany." Duke ordered.
Here, Consultant Luo Ze hasn't said anything yet, and Consultant Leo, whose face was a little flushed, couldn't help muttering something like "good luck" and "it doesn't count".
Another consultant was the first to praise: "Sage Duke, I never thought that you would go so far in practicing Qihai. Could you please tell me, how far have you progressed in the cultivation of the way of chivalry?"
"The way of chivalry?" Duke thought for a while.
It seems that the Knights Monastery of the Seven Towers Federation is not working well.
How long has it been? There is no news from the Grand Duchy of Smashed Ice. It has been reported that he has created two new fighting qi martial arts.
During his brief thought, Advisor Leo looked at Duke eagerly, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
Looking forward to Duke's answer, but afraid of Duke's answer.
But no matter what, Duke said frankly: "The way of chivalry is a little behind, and currently I have only cultivated to the level of a 2-ring Eudemons knight."
said.
Tapped his chest, the red knight contract imprint on the skin in front of the heart flickered, and a gray-black light flew out, condensing the figure of Xiaodou.
"Roar!" Xiaodou quickly climbed onto Duke's shoulder, looking around cautiously.
Pata.
Consultant Leo felt that something was broken in his heart, and he slumped on the chair, not wanting to say another word.
I thought it would kill Duke's limelight, but in the end, it pushed Duke into a better limelight.
"Spirituality is on top, Duke!" Princess Tiffany also widened her eyes, "You are actually a Phantom Beast Knight, what kind of Phantom Beast is it?"
"The mongoose is evolved from the long-haired mongoose." Duke stroked Xiaodou's big fluffy tail, "It's called Xiaodou. I remember picking it up when I was fifteen years old and following it I, until recently, evolved into a phantom beast."
"Picked it up?" Princess Tiffany was surprised.
In fact, Robney was hunted down and seriously injured, desperate, and accidentally gave him the pocket. Duke no longer needs to hide this matter.
But there is no need to explain: "Yes, I picked it up."
Consultant Luo Ze said with emotion: "The newspapers and media in the Seven Towers Federation say that spirituality loves you very much. I didn't understand it before, but now I feel it deeply. This statement is true!"
When he was speaking, his eyes fell on Oak Spirit, and he couldn't bear to move away.
Scared so much that Rubber Ling and Princess Tiffany exchanged a few words, then hurried back to Duke and slammed into his stomach.
As for Xiaodou, he has already fought against the food delivered by the maid.
Soon, the luncheon is over.
Princess Tiffany said to Duke: "You take a good rest at noon, and when the rest is over, I will take you to visit Xueshan City."
"As you wish, then I will take my leave first, Your Royal Highness." Duke wiped his mouth with a napkin, behaving gracefully like a gentleman.
If you ignore that he ate a dozen or so plates full of food at noon.
It is true that the primitive tribe has lived for a long time, and once again tasted the delicacies of human society, I just feel that I have enjoyed it to the extreme.
certainly.
He is a 2-ring Phantom Beast Knight, and it is not surprising that he eats a lot.
Dou Qi or the power of the sea of blood is originally derived from food. The higher the level of the knight, the greater the amount of food he eats in each meal. It is said that there are 3-ring high-level phantom beast knights, who can eat half a cow for a meal, plus the phantom beast's appetite, it will be even more.
Fortunately, the third-level high-level Phantom Beast Knight is powerful and able to support himself and Phantom Beast.
Duke went to rest, Princess Tiffany also had a lunch break, and the consultants of the Great Arcanist gathered together and chatted.
"Leo, you are targeting Duke Sage today."
"Is there?" Consultant Leo sullenly, obviously not interested, "I'm just communicating normally."
"I don't think you can fool Duke, the most talented arcane master in the history of spiritual arcana. Not only is he amazing in academic attainments, but also has a good understanding of the world. Judging from his modest attitude, You can see it instead of relying on your talents and pride." Consultant Luo Ze said.
"I thought Sage Duke was forcibly promoted by the Seven Towers Federation, but only after meeting him did I know what it means to be worthy of the name." A great arcane mage stroked his beard and sighed.
Luo Ze nodded and said: "What Master Jovic said is that when talking about academics with Duke Sage, you can feel that facing him is like facing a... a future instructor of the arcane law. Get involved."
Another great arcane mage praised: "I can also feel this. I thought he was a erudite sage and a card-making sage, and he only cultivated in these two fields, but in fact, alchemy, puppets, contracts, formations, etc. It can be seen that he has put in a lot of hard work in the field of law and so on."
Consultant Leo said in a muffled voice: "No matter how talented you are, you are not a genius in the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice."
"Yes, what a pity. If my Grand Duchy of Broken Ice can produce a genius like Duke Sage, how can I be repeatedly oppressed by the Ice and Snow Kingdom."
"It doesn't matter if it's out, the Seven Towers Federation is the holy land of spiritual arcana. If you want to be promoted to an arcane teacher, you still have to go to the holy city of arcane law after all. Maybe you won't come back to me after you walk. The Grand Duchy of Ice."
"You said..." Consultant Luo Ze narrowed his eyes suddenly, "His Royal Highness the Third Princess obviously has some interest in Duke Sage, if the two can come together, wouldn't it be..."
As soon as this remark came out.
Consultant Leo glared immediately, but couldn't say what he wanted to say.
After all, several other great arcane mage consultants are obviously interested. Among them, the fifth-ring ocean great arcane Jovic is vaguely the head of the advisers, and he also echoed: "The future of Duke Sage, at least the seven-ring morning star, with Princess Tiffany, It is indeed a good story.”
"Yes, yes, the sage Duke has the talent of a group of stars, which matches the status of Princess Tiffany!" A Da'ao mage consultant rubbed his chin and pondered, "I just don't know if the sage Duke can see Princess Tiffany, speaking of it... "
He paused, and muttered in a low voice: "Princess Tiffany's spiritual talent is definitely not comparable to Duke's."
Princess Tiffany is twenty years old and still a spiritual apprentice.
"That's true. The stars of the Seven Towers Federation have always been keen to choose women with outstanding talents in Linghai to inherit their talents." Jovic said with a bit of embarrassment.
It seems to be regretting that Princess Tiffany is not worthy of Duke.
In the eyes of this group of great arcanists, although the royal family of the Grand Duchy of Ice Shards has a noble status, they are only a small royal family after all.
The seven-tower federal aristocratic system exists in name only, and there is no royal family anymore, but the stars are equivalent to the royal family. Every star who visits the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice must be entertained with the highest courtesies of the royal family, which shows the dignity of their status.
After all, the Seven Towers Federation is the most powerful country on the Manghuang Continent.
Duke is expected to be a star, and has even activated the will of the stars. Naturally, this status is equivalent to the crown prince, and he is also a crown prince with unparalleled talent in the world.
This is the Chosen One.
"I hope that in the past few days, Princess Tiffany and Sage Duke will have some sparks in the process of playing together." Consultant Luo Ze can only hope so much.
Consultant Leo felt angry.
He just couldn't understand a young man riding on his head, only with the 3rd ring, so the Grand Duke had to personally greet him.
That's why there will be some targets, but I never thought about it, but it helped Duke's reputation.
"What do you guys..." In the middle of speaking, Advisor Leo suddenly stopped, and he also found out that it seemed that everyone was right.
Although the Grand Duke is noble, at most he can be equal to a 7-ring morning star arcane teacher from the Seven Towers Federation—after all, in the Grand Duchy of Ice, once someone is promoted to an arcane teacher, he can immediately be on an equal footing with the Grand Duke.
The third daughter of the grand duke's family is equally honorable, but her talent is a bit weaker.
If it is placed in the Seven Towers Federation, if there are stars who want to recruit Duke as a son-in-law, a 20-year-old daughter who has not yet been promoted to an arcanist may not be able to do so.
So, Consultant Leo could only change the subject in embarrassment: "You...you are too hasty, young people's affairs will be resolved by young people."
…
Duke naturally didn't know what the consultants of the great arcane mages were worried about.
He took a beautiful nap on a soft big bed in a gorgeous palace in Xueshan Palace, and woke up refreshed.
There are big knights standing guard outside the door.
Duke chatted with the great knight in Bingwen: "I forgot to ask, what is the official name of this fir tree king?"
"It's King Xueshan, Lord Duke."
"Xueshan King, um, thank you."
"You are too polite." The big knight replied calmly, and when Duke turned and walked out, he secretly looked up at Duke.
Feeling quite excited.
He read the newspaper, this is the stars of the Seven Towers Federation in the future—everyone thinks that Duke will be promoted to the stars sooner or later.
"Good afternoon, Duke." Princess Tiffany has also finished her lunch break. She has changed out of her cavalier attire in the morning and changed into a long dress in the style of an aristocratic lady with a fur blouse on top. She looks gentle and beautiful. .
But as before, it gave Duke a bright feeling.
"Good afternoon, Tiffany."
"Let's go, let's go." Princess Tiffany invited Duke to get on the car, and boarded a shuttle with a gorgeous interior.
Xueshan City is surrounded by heavy snow. It snows all year round, and there are not many sunny days. Even in summer, there will be occasional snowfalls.
However, there are special Xueshan Lingzhi here, which is very likely to be the population infected by the 3rd Ring Tree King-Xueshan King. This kind of Xueshan spirit plant is extremely expensive wood. The mage tower, battleship airship, etc. all need to use Xueshan spirit plant wood.
"The original Xueshan City was to cut down Xueshan spiritual plants, only to discover a large-scale spiritual spring by accident. After that, Xueshan City gradually formed."
Princess Tiffany, who became a tour guide along the way, explained the story of Xueshan City to Duke.
Then he asked again: "What does your hometown, Shenjiao City, look like?"
"Shenjiao City, a very ordinary border city." Duke simply talked about the style of Shenjiao City.
In fact, there is really nothing to say. Shenjiao City is the kind of city with no characteristics. The only thing worth mentioning is green, and the city is surrounded by forests. But this kind of green city is not worth mentioning in Manghuang Continent.
Except for cities in the desert, most cities are basically surrounded by forests—spiritual springs are best at nourishing all things.
"However, the place where I was born is called Sheshou Town, which is a remote town. After I came out to work, I found a large spiritual spring not far from the town. Now a new city is being built there, Cuihai City .”
Duke said: "After Cuihai City is completed, Sheshou Town should be placed under the jurisdiction of Cuihai City. In other words, my hometown should be Cuihai City."
"Cuihai City." Princess Tiffany nodded, wanting to write down the city, "If there is a chance, I really want to visit Cuihai City."
"If you want to see it, you can do it anytime."
"Then will you wait for me in Cuihai City, or will you live in the holy city of arcana and concentrate on studying spiritual arcana?"
After finishing speaking, Princess Tiffany turned around and looked at Duke with burning eyes.
Duke smiled softly, and stretched out his hand to put a strand of hair hanging from Princess Tiffany's ear behind her ear: "If you want to come, you can write to me. I will arrange the journey for you in the Federation of Seven Towers, and then I will take you there. Cuihai City has been fun for a while."
When his safety is guaranteed, he will definitely settle in the Holy City of Offa on a daily basis.
But with the Duke Star entering and exiting the Dreamland of Stars, sooner or later, he will be able to travel freely in all cities in the Seven Towers Federation.
Princess Tiffany turned her head away from looking at Duke: "Is there snow there?"
"There will be a few snowfalls in winter, but the snow is not as thick as here, and it melts easily." Duke suddenly missed Heijiaohe land.
and people from Heijiaohe land.
Led by Princess Tiffany, Duke strolled around all afternoon, and held a banquet at Xueshan Palace in the evening, inviting many nobles from Xueshan City to participate.
The Grand Duchy of Broken Ice retains a complete aristocratic system. Every arcanist is basically a nobleman, but the attitude towards knights is much better than that of the Seven Towers Federation.
In the Seven Towers, the federal knights are the coolies among the monks of the Three Seas, either as guards or mercenaries. In the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice, the status of a knight is quite respectable. Many aristocrats dress up as knights in public. Compared with Princess Tiffany, they like to wear knight costumes.
At the end of the banquet, under the hospitality of the nobles, Duke, who was half drunk, was helped back to the side hall where he rested by the maids of the palace.
Two maids bathed and dressed him, and then took off their own clothes.
"What are you doing?" Duke stopped him, and he had already used his grudge to eliminate the drunkenness above him.
"My lord, we will wait for you to take a bath." The maid replied respectfully.
"No need." Duke waved his hand, "I'm not used to this kind of service, you go and wait outside, and you can help me change when I'm done washing."
Wait for the maids to obey and leave.
He sat in the bath with a suitable temperature, and couldn't help criticizing a few words: "It's really a corrupt aristocratic system!"
Immediately.
Call out the rubber spirit, stretch out your finger: "Fit together, help me practice."
"Okay, Duke." Oak Spirit held Duke's fingers, and quickly turned into a puddle of liquid, merging with Duke.
The body began to be torn apart, but fortunately, he got used to this feeling after a few more times, so Duke lay firmly in the bath, and switched to the Avatar form.
Avatar form is the name he gave for his new form after combining with the rubber spirit, which is different from the elf form combined with the chicken.
"It's started, Oak Spirit."
Duke closed his eyes and began to feel the breath resonating with the tree king of the 3rd ring - Xueshan King. He hadn't spared time during the day to comprehend it, and now he just has time.
In a trance, he was pulled into the reappearance of King Xueshan by the strange energy of breath resonance.
On a piece of white land, a small cedar tree is growing hard. After countless years of frost and blizzard, it still does not bend it. Instead, it grows straighter and bigger, and finally becomes a towering tree. Snow shirt king.
"Huh!"
Taking a long breath, Duke escaped from the reappearance of time.
In the sea of qi, there is no doubt that another spiritual seed sprouted, and a small fir tree grew out, adding a new scenery to the sea of qi.
"Ah, there's another little tree!" Chick lay on the branch of the little oak tree, farting very badly, "Duke is okay, every time I see the tree king, he brings me back a spiritual tree." species. When there are more spiritual species, I can also evolve into a great elf, hehe!"
The oak spirit also landed on the branch of the young oak tree, and said with a smile: "Yes, Duke said, you will become a frog."
"You're a frog, your whole family is frogs!" The little chicken flicked its tail dissatisfied, "I'm a little chicken, do you understand?"
"Okay, little frog."
"Butterfly the color of shit, you want to rebel!"
"But you can't beat me, look." Rubber Spirit encouraged the natural force in his body, and lifted the chicken up like this, "Using what you said before, oh yes, I can already hang you up and beat you."
"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Xiaoji felt aggrieved, "Look, Duke, what kind of big elves are you contracting with!"
Rubber Spirit was unmoved.
The little chicken put away his hypocritical crying, and said harshly: "You wait for me, sooner or later I will evolve into a great elf, and I will beat you up!"
Rubber put it down and said lightly, "Then I'll wait."
Duke was unaware of the private conversation between the two elves. Although he communicated with the elves, he didn't have insight into each other's thinking all the time.
At this moment, he is looking inside the spiritual sea. In the spiritual sea, there is already the seventh mysterious vision of the tree king.
"Snowland·Xueshan King!"
"Well, this mystery is not bad. It actually increases my affinity for ice and snow elements. That is to say, in the future, when I release related types of arcana, there will be a certain increase!" , expressing satisfaction.
But I quickly remembered: "Xiao Yi, do you think that the speed of my comprehension of meditation vision visions has slowed down now? It has been a long time since I comprehended new visions."
"Yes, master, you have not comprehended the new exclusive meditation vision for 1121 days." Xiaoyi accurately reported the time.
1121 days, equal to more than three years.
"I have been obsessed with academic research for more than three years, and have not been able to comprehend the new vision of meditation. Maybe I have lived too comfortably and forgot to observe nature." Duke shook his head, not very satisfied with this, which means that the entire 2 In the ring stage, there is no one insight.
Relying on spiritual feedback and on-hook exclusive meditation methods, the promotion from the 2nd ring to the 3rd ring is completed.
"This is not good. Although I have spiritual feedback to help and Xiaoyi to hang up, I still have to take the initiative!"
He came out of the bath, dried himself off, and changed into clean and comfortable underwear.
There was no need for a maid to serve her, so she went back to the room by herself and started the evening class practice, thinking in her heart: "I'm in Xueshan City these days, just play with Tiffany for a few days, forget all distracting thoughts, and concentrate on understanding nature. "
Followed by four or five days.
Except for the first day Grand Duke Tinar Glacier, who came and left in a hurry.
He followed Princess Tiffany the whole time, wandering around the entire Xueshan City.
Sometimes I have a cup of coffee in the city and watch a rough new film of Phantom; sometimes I step on the snow together at the Xueshan Palace and feed the elk; Let’s watch the sunset together on the top of Shanwang.
"It's so beautiful!" Princess Tiffany held onto the branch of Xueshan King and watched the setting sun fall at the end of the snow field in the distance, and couldn't help expressing emotion.
Duke held her waist to protect her from slipping and falling.
I also looked at the setting sun in the distance, the snow was rendered golden yellow by the afterglow of the setting sun, as if the whole snow field was coated with a layer of gold.
"Yes, it's so beautiful." He turned his head and looked at Princess Tiffany.
The afterglow of the setting sun also sprinkled on her face, coating her already beautiful face with a layer of dazzling brilliance, which was too beautiful to behold.
Princess Tiffany felt a burning sensation on her face, turned her head, and met Duke's eyes.
Then he couldn't help closing his eyes.
This is the situation.
Duke felt something sprouting in his heart, then leaned over and kissed Princess Tiffany's red lips directly...
far away.
Outside the side hall of the Xueshan Palace, several consultants of the great Austrian mages were drinking tea and playing cards around a table, looking up at the crown of the Xueshan King from time to time.
"How about it, two young people watch the sunset together, something should happen?" Consultant Luo Ze asked.
"I saw it, it's pretty quiet, the sage Duke lacks the enthusiasm of young people, and he hasn't moved for a long time."
"Hey, maybe the time has not come for this fate."
The consultants of the Great Austrian Mage felt a little sad.
Until Consultant Jovic frowned and said: "Is there a possibility that something has happened on the top of the Xueshan King tree, but it was... covered by the arcane magic of illusion? I seem to feel a wave of arcane magic .”
"Huh?" Several great arcane mage consultants raised their heads, stretching their spiritual power as much as possible, wanting to perceive the scene on the canopy more carefully.
But they didn't know that Xiaoyi was monitoring their every move.
The mystery of the breathing method is vividly displayed under Xiaoyi's 24-hour on-hook, and the consultants of the Great Austrian Mage have no idea that they have changed from being a watcher to being watched.
Duke helped Princess Tiffany tidy up some messy clothes, then sat up straight, and dispelled the magic of illusion.
Several consultants of the great arcane mages returned disappointed after psychic perception.
after all.
No matter how powerful their psychic perception is, it is impossible for them to perceive Princess Tiffany's beating heart from such a distance.
It took a while before Princess Tiffany calmed down, and quietly rested her head on Duke's shoulder: "I want to see you again, what should I do?"
Duke smiled lightly, the illusion arcane had covered everything on the top of the tree.
He squeezed Princess Tiffany's face with his hands, and said: "The Xueshan Palace is your palace, and it is also my palace. When I miss me, I will come here."
