Chapter 288 A New Life
4-ring earth arcane master, after clearing away the fog of spiritual arcana, the first node on the path of arcanist practice.
"Standing on this piece of land, all spirituality will obey your orders." This is the record, the earth arcanist's appropriate perception of his own power.
This is the metamorphosis of the life level.
If it is said that ordinary arcane mages have no control over spirituality before, then after being promoted to great arcane mages, they will feel like ducks in water.
"Teacher, how do you feel now?" Duke looked at Suktara with burning eyes.
Suktara, who has been successfully promoted to the 4th ring at this moment, has not changed much in appearance, and his hair is still full of silver hair and his face is ruddy.
Still looks like a child with white hair.
It's just that the temperament is quite different. Standing in place at this moment, there is a vigorous spiritual particle aura, which continues to escape.
Even a third-ring arcane mage like Duke can feel the pressure of this spiritual particle aura.
It is not as terrifying as the abyss aura of the arcane teachers, but the aura of spiritual particles is more direct, one belongs to the oppression of the spiritual level, and the other belongs to the oppression of the physical level.
"Sorry, child, the teacher has just been promoted, and he still can't fully control the metamorphosis power." Suktara said apologetically.
Duke responded with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a little awkward."
Suktara was promoted to the 4th Ring Earth Arcane Mage, and he was very happy, not only because he had an extra great Arcane Mage to help him, but also because Suktara could live another thirty years.
The theoretical lifespan of a 3-ring arcane mage is 180 years, and that of a 4-ring earth arcane mage is 210 years.
Increase life by thirty years!
Duke has no relatives in this world, the soul has no relatives, and this body has no relatives either. Therefore, the people he meets through time travel are relatives in his mind, and Suktala seems to be one of his closest relatives.
"Teacher, you have just been promoted, do you need to take a break first?" It was not Duke who spoke, but Assistant Professor Terrence.
Duke's achievements have far surpassed Suktara without teaching.
So when Suktala had a premonition that he was about to be promoted and could live for decades, he simply took Terrence as a student and taught him alchemy knowledge seriously.
"It's not in a hurry." Suktara shook his head with a smile, "I have to tell Duke all the details of my promotion while my memory is still clear... The teacher is a step ahead, but it will be soon. It's your turn, Duke, to clear away the fog of spiritual mysteries."
Duke laughed and said: "I'm really not in a hurry. I was promoted to the third ring in just a few years. My foundation is really unstable. Most of the slots on the ring track are still unused."
It's a pity that whether it is building arcane wonders or casting arcane weapons, it has to be done slowly and meticulously, requiring a lot of time to carve.
Not at all fast.
Otherwise, with Xiaoyi's computing power, all slots can be filled in minutes.
Terrence heard the words and suddenly wanted to say something, thinking that there are only two slots in one ring track, so it would be difficult to fill them.
But of course he wouldn't question Duke like this. Now Duke is already the top figure in the Seven Towers Federation power.
Prophet!
If the ceiling of the Arcanist is the stars, then the ceiling of the Arcane Scholar is the Prophet.
So he carefully considered the words in his mind, and then asked in a slightly curious tone: "My lord, may I ask, how many slots do you have left?"
Terrence is an old acquaintance, and Duke replied indifferently: "The fourth slot of the first ring track is full, there are still three left in the fifth slot of the second ring track, and there are still six slots left in the third ring track." Five, the time is too short to be busy."
"Huh?" Terrence was stunned, "Are there four slots in the first orbit?"
Duke asked casually, "How many slots are you in?"
"Ah... two." Terrence lowered his head, not wanting to speak very much. He was obviously humiliating himself, and the opposite was a prophet.
The first track of the Prophet has four slots. Isn't this a matter of course?
"Actually, two are enough." Duke comforted with a very understanding, "One defensive arcane and one offensive arcane, and then promoted to 2nd and 3rd rings, forming a miracle linkage combined arcane, which can be used for offense and defense. Very appropriate."
Then he grinned again: "Unlike me, there are too many slots, I can't keep busy, and my heart is very tired."
Terrence was speechless.
Suktara smiled and said, "Duke, stop teasing Terrence...Terrence, go ahead, I'm going to explain to Duke how it feels to be promoted."
"Yes, teacher." Terrence got up to leave, not wanting to stay here for a moment.
Suktara then explained a series of feelings he had when he was promoted, and Duke heard it as if he was speaking from heaven.
Putting through the fog of spiritual mysteries is a mysterious and mysterious experience. It is difficult to describe in words. I can only roughly describe my own feelings, mainly relying on understanding.
"If my previous feelings about spirituality were erratic and unsteady, then the moment I cleared away the fog of spiritual mysteries, I suddenly felt down-to-earth... No wonder the ancestors defined the 4th ring as the Arcane Master of the Earth. The down-to-earth feeling is too appropriate.”
Suktara sighed.
Duke raised doubts from time to time: "To clear away the fog of spiritual mysteries, should we clear it all at once, and then suddenly become enlightened, or lift it up bit by bit, and gradually become clear?"
"It was pushed aside all at once, but there were many transitional insights before, like a kind of foreshadowing. From the body to the psychology, the foreshadowing was done comprehensively, and then as you said, it suddenly became clear."
"Teacher, look back, what kind of existence is the fog of spiritual mystery?"
"It's hard to say... maybe it's a cognitive level." Suktara tried his best to recall, and continued after a while, "It's like the elementary school attached to the Mage Tower, where the children are taught. Understanding what those formulas mean is just rote memorization."
Paused, she continued: "But middle school students, after learning to deduce, can understand exactly what these formulas mean."
After speaking, she asked Duke back: "Do you understand?"
Duke nodded: "Generally understand."
He thought of parents tutoring their children on earth. It was obviously a very simple topic, but the children couldn't understand it anyway.
How many times have I said it, the child just can't do it, and it can make the parents so angry that they want to jump off the building.
Children's cognition, and parents' cognition, may be equivalent to the cognitive gap between ordinary arcane masters and great arcane masters. It is not a lack of IQ, but a lack of cognitive level. Many parents may also feel emotional when they look back at elementary school textbooks , How could I not when I was a child!
"Do you really understand?" Suktara asked worriedly.
"Well." Duke nodded earnestly, and responded, "This is a gap in cognition. If you know it, you will, and if you don't, you won't. Either slowly accumulate to improve the level of cognition, or you need an epiphany to directly surpass cognition. level."
Suktara nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you really understand."
"I do understand, but... it seems that there is not much difference between not knowing, and I still have to experience the fog of spiritual arcana."
"That's right, even those great nobles have a wealth of knowledge inheritance, and the younger generations will still be blocked by the fog of spiritual mysteries. This cannot be changed by inheritance." Suktala pushed aside by himself, so he understood more deeply. .
She then said: "However, your ring of consonance is being studied in depth. Perhaps, it can help the arcanists trapped in the third ring to find a shortcut to clear the fog of spiritual mystery... If so, the ring of consonance No less great than the Ring of Projection."
Great Arcane Mage and Ordinary Arcane Mage are two classes.
In the entire Heijiaohe land, there are nearly 20 third-ring arcane mages. If half of them can use the ring of consonance, they can break through the fourth-ring earth arcanist.
In the future, the pattern of arcanists will undergo tremendous changes.
The speed at which humans can conquer the forest will also be greatly increased. After all, the combat power of a great arcane mage can almost overwhelm most of the spirit beasts under the sub-dragon.
"The ring of consonance is responsible for the experiment of breaking away the spiritual arcana, and I will not worry about it." Duke is very self-aware, and he has never even touched the fog of spiritual arcana. Now, how to study shortcuts.
certainly.
This doesn't prevent him from activating the clone phantom frequently, and going to the Crystal Palace of Pangs Libra to learn about the experimental progress of the shortcut.
Increase your knowledge to improve your understanding of spiritual mysteries and speed up your practice.
…
Suktara was promoted to the 4th Ring Earth Arcane Mage, and the celebration banquet was held in Lingya Mountain Castle, which lasted for nearly a week.
She knows too many people. As an alchemist who is good at casting arcane weapons, her clients are all over the Wind Breath field.
In addition to the arcanists who have a good personal relationship, many arcane masters who met once also went to Duke Sage Mage Tower under the banner of celebration. Looking forward to meeting Duke and forming a good relationship with the youngest prophet in the history of the Seven Towers Federation.
After the banquet.
Kiston Nutao convened a meeting of the ten towers of Heijiaohe to discuss how to arrange the position of Suktala. After all, the Great Archmage holds the votes for the enlarged meeting and belongs to the decision-making layer of the Seven Towers Federation.
However, Suktara does not intend to come out to take up the post: "I have already decided, I will stay in Duke Sage's Mage Tower, manage this Mage Tower for Duke, and take a look at the Mage Tower under the new system, what can be done?" what a future."
"Since the old lady is unwilling to come out to serve, then the chiefs of the five towers in Shenjiao City and Cuihai City will not be adjusted for the time being." Keyston Nutao did not force him, but he was in a good mood, and the local forces added another general .
Then he said: "But in the Ten Towers meeting, there must be a seat for the old lady."
Regarding this point, everyone has no objection, and Suktara herself did not refuse. Anyway, she has made up her mind, and she will follow Duke with her vote.
How Duke chooses, how she chooses.
Suktara is very clear that he can be promoted to a great arcane mage, not because of his talent, or the so-called spiritual guidance.
Everything comes from Duke.
So she simply said: "If the old woman doesn't want to move, and doesn't want to come to the Ten Towers meeting, Duke will vote for me on my behalf."
certainly.
The Ten Towers Conference is rarely held. So far this year, the first Ten Towers Conference was held only because of Suktala's promotion to the Great Archmage.
At ordinary times, Shenjiao City manages Shenjiao City, and Cuihai City manages Cuihai City. They are separate and do not interfere.
The sun rises to the mid-heaven.
The hottest summer of the year begins.
There are more and more arcane masters going to the Lingya Mountain in Cuihai City for pilgrimage.
Because of Duke's prophetic reputation, the number of ordinary people who traveled thousands of miles to follow the mercenary regiment gradually increased.
People believe that spirituality will guide everything.
Prophet Duke is the spiritual favorite arcanist of the Seven Towers Federation, so it is absolutely not wrong to move to Cuihai City.
"In the past few months, more and more foreigners have come to Cuihai City, and more and more people have decided to stay and settle down." Hamdi Xueying, reporting the recent resettlement work to Duke, " Law and order is deteriorating, especially when many mercenary groups are coming."
"Our rules, haven't we shown these mercenary groups?"
Cuihai City was newly built. In order to ensure that the outskirts would not be invaded by spirit beasts, many outposts were established around them, guarded by knights and mercenaries.
"What caused it?" Duke asked while looking at the "Seven Towers Daily" to provide Xiaoyi with today's news.
"It is said that the Cavaliers blackmailed the mercenary group, and the mercenary group was dissatisfied, which led to a group brawl."
"Cavs Blackmail?"
"This kind of thing can't be banned, because many of the Cavaliers who are being formed are mercenaries with very bad morals." Hamdi Xueying sighed, "No need, the Cavaliers have too many gaps, and they can't be managed at all. So many places."
Fruel, another member of the Union Tower, echoed: "There is still definite evidence for this, and there are more without definite evidence. If the law and order continues to deteriorate, it will seriously affect the immigration plan you made."
"What good solution do you have?"
“Strengthen cross-patrols to ensure surveillance and increase punishment to deter young people,” Hamdi said.
Fruel also said: "There should be another reward whistleblowing scheme."
"All of these can be done, but in the end it's still a temporary solution, not the root cause. If you want to completely eradicate crime and improve law and order, you need Skynet!" Duke put down the newspaper, his eyes seemed to have crossed the barrier of time and space billions of light years, and returned to his hometown on the earth.
"Skynet?" Hamdi Snow Eagle and Fruel looked at each other, neither knowing why.
"An invention that needs to be researched urgently, you don't have to worry about it for the time being, just implement it according to your plan first, the two of you should pay more attention to it."
"Yes, my lord!"
After Hamdi Snow Eagle and Fruel left, Duke began to think about the research and development of Skynet.
"If you want to develop the Skynet monitoring system, you must at least get the network out, and the premise of the network is communication." He touched his chin, "I won't worry about the in-depth research of the ring of consonance, and study the light communication technology!"
He glanced out the window, which could overlook a mansion in the inner city.
That is the new headquarters built by the Giant of Light. It is called the Giant of Light Building. Many people are used to abbreviating it as the Giant Building.
Duke always felt that the name Giant Building was a bit unlucky.
At this moment, on the wall of the Giant Building, on the large screen that has been installed, an advertisement for a new product is being played repeatedly.
The advertisement is endorsed by several popular star actors.
These star actors belong to DreamWorks Film and Television Company, so they gave discounted endorsement fees to endorse the products of the Giant of Light.
"Giant of Light, maybe in the dark, spirituality has already understood everything." Duke said with emotion, "However, I will not put it in the Giant of Light's spiritual tool company for optical communication technology, and set up another company to monopolize optical communications industry."
He is already a prophet, the master of this country.
In fact, there is not much difference between making money or not. As long as he wants to, as a prophet, he can mobilize too many resources of the Seven Towers Federation.
Including using the resources of the Seven Towers Federation to build their own mage towers, any crystal palace, floating city, or dungeon can be used—there are indeed prophets who have applied for resources from the Seven Towers Federation to build their own mage towers, especially non-star prophets.
The stars are powerful, and many materials can be obtained by themselves, especially top-level materials such as hunting dragons.
Prophets who are not stars can't hunt Yalong, and can't obtain top-level materials, so they can only apply to the Seven Towers Federation.
But Duke is not going to apply.
Duke Sage's Mage Tower is enough for him. He just wants to make money first, and when he has enough money, he can spend it however he wants.
"Don't worry about what you have, let's talk about the development of optical communication technology first!" Duke put aside many distracting thoughts and quickly communicated with Xiaoyi, "Plan the optical communication experiment process, establish an optical communication data model, and squeeze out at least 25% of the power for research and development .”
"Good master, I have prepared everything for you." Xiaoyi responded quickly.
At this point, Duke devoted himself to the next study.
…
"Jiang Wanda, Jiang Troo, hurry up and finish your meal, and go back to your room to pack your luggage." The mother knocked on the sleepy siblings with the dining spoon, "When your father comes back, we have to go with the group. If you fall down, you will never see your parents again!"
Jiang Wanda is a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. Hearing this, she asked curiously, "Mom, are we really going to Cuihai City?"
"I don't want to go, I don't like Cuihai City." The younger brother Jiang Teluo is still a brat, "I want to play with Jessica and Magus!"
"You know how to play all day long, and you don't do anything to teach you how to read. You will be useless when you grow up!" The mother poked Jiang Teluo's head fiercely with her finger, "When I go to Cuihai City, I will send you to Cuihai City. In that elementary school, let the teacher control you severely!"
"I don't want it!" Jiang Teluo snorted.
For the distant Cuihai City that his parents talk about every day, he doesn't look forward to it at all. He just wants to stay in his hometown and have fun with his friends.
Jiang Wanda had a trace of longing in his eyes: "After going to Cuihai City, we go to school, can I also become an arcanist?"
"There is hope." Mother said with a smile.
Before dawn, the mother and son finished their breakfast, and then hurriedly packed the things at home. It was just three cramped bungalows, and there were not many things to take away.
Waiting for the light of the morning sun to shine into the alley outside the door, the air began to become scorching hot.
Xi Lulu's horse hooves sounded, and the mother immediately walked to the door quickly, and then smiled happily. It was the father who came back.
"Django!"
"Natalie." Django rolled over from his horse, he was dressed as a knight, and hurried, "Have the children eaten and packed their luggage? I have hired a carriage and brought Move things up, and we'll set off."
The carriage is at the entrance of the alley.
The actions of Django's family soon alarmed the neighbors, who came out to visit.
"Django, Natalie, where are you going?"
"Ah, go to Cuihai City."
"I really want to go to Cuihai City, but it's far away. I heard it will take several months!" The neighbor was speechless.
"Go try your luck. If the conditions are good there, we will stay there. If the conditions are not good, we will come back." Django said calmly. He is just an ordinary 0-ring knight, and it is okay to stay in the town Be a coolie.
So after hearing the immigration propaganda in Cuihai City, I was immediately moved and acted.
The neighbor said worriedly: "The road is so far away, what should I do if I encounter danger, Django, Natalie, you are too risky!"
Natalie was also a little worried.
Jiang Ge said: "We followed the convoy of the Flying Arrow Mercenary Corps and signed a contract. The Flying Arrow Mercenary Corps will protect us, and Cuihai City will provide the round-trip expenses... I believe that Duke the Prophet will protect us!"
"I'm not going, I'm not going, I don't want to go to Cuihai City!" Jiang Teluo suddenly burst into tears, sat down on the ground and rolled.
Jiang Ge glanced at Natalie, and Natalie immediately picked up Jiang Trell and stuffed it into the carriage.
Jiang Wanda waved to the room: "Pippi, come here quickly!"
Immediately, a tall wolf dog sprang out from the house and threw itself into Jiang Wanda's arms. This is Django's contracted spirit beast.
is a 1-ring spirit beast - the wind blade gray wolf.
It is said to be a wolf, but it is actually more like a dog. It is human and easy to tame. However, this wind blade gray wolf has not yet reached the 1st ring, and may not even reach the 1st ring in its entire life—because its contract object, Django, is a poor talent. The 0 ring knight.
The luggage was loaded into the carriage, and the family and spirit beasts also got in.
Jiang Ge glanced at the dilapidated bungalow, locked the door decisively, then turned over and rode his horse, and waved to the neighbors.
"Be careful on the road."
"Bon voyage!"
The neighbors are all ordinary people. After living together for decades, it is inevitable that they will not let go, and some even have red eyes.
Natalie kept waving her hands, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down.
It was Jiang Teluo who cried worse than her. He cried and called his friend's name, and wanted to jump off the carriage, but was held down by his sister Jiang Wanda.
The carriage quickly turned from the small road to the main road.
Jiang Ge reined in the horse, turned around and glanced at the alley where he had lived for many years, and the neighbors who followed to the entrance of the alley.
My heart was full of mixed feelings for a while.
If he hadn't had no future in his hometown town and was still poor after many years, he would never have made up his mind to immigrate to Cuihai City, even if the future described in the brochure was brighter and brighter.
but.
Even though he himself has succumbed to fate, his children can't. If he still stays in his hometown, the children may follow his old path, and even he is not as good as him. There is no hope.
Only go to Cuihai City, where the school reformed by Prophet Duke not only teaches the knowledge of the three seas, but also teaches various professional life skills.
Even if the children cannot open Sanhai, they can learn a skill and find a good job.
"Prophet Duke won't lie to us!" Django turned his head, pinched the horse's belly with his feet, and quickly followed the carriage in front, cheering himself up in his heart, "Going to Cuihai City, there must be a wonderful life waiting for you ahead!"
Woohoo!
In a blink of an eye, the Django family got out of the carriage and transferred to the black beetle car at the station outside the town.
The car was already full of passengers with their families. They were all in the same situation as Django. Following the arrangement of the mercenaries, the family squeezed into a small space.
"Squeeze in, squeeze in!" A fierce-looking mercenary yelled loudly, "Squeeze in, didn't you hear that, you have one more leg than others, right? Want to take an entire seat? Master Duke is kind, he gave you free rides, not for your travel enjoyment!"
Waited until the black beetle car was full of people, and then slowly drove out of the station with the sound of the siren.
Black smoke billowed from the front of the car.
Someone began to cry softly, and then more and more people began to wipe their tears. The atmosphere was not the excitement of going to a new city, but the sadness of leaving home.
"Why are you crying!" A mercenary yelled, "I'm crying for your uncle!"
Of course, not every mercenary is lacking in quality. One of the female mercenaries said to everyone in a soft voice: "Be happy, Cuihai City is the hometown of Prophet Duke, and Prophet Duke has prepared for you Everything has been arranged, and a better life is coming!"
Woohoo!
All the way through the mountains and rivers, the black beetle cars turned upside down one after another.
After a long-distance journey lasting more than two months, I finally came to a new city with twinkling lights on a sultry evening.
"Ahem..." Natalie leaned into her husband's arms, coughing weakly, "Django, are we... cough... are we there yet?"
Jiang Ge clenched his fists: "Here we are, we're in Cuihai City!"
Looking for tickets~
